Dissapointing Bake
I did a big bake (for me!) this Sunday, 4 loaves of "Vermont/Denver" Sourdough from Hammelman, 2 loaves of Walnut Rye Sourdough (Hammelman), and 4 white/wheat baguettes (Hammelman/Remoray).
The Dough all rose perfectly, last week I rushed it. I have to proof it in the oven with just the light bulb, as my kitchen is a little cold.
But when it came time to bake, I under fired the oven! I was not making pizza, so I figured I did not need 750 degree temps. I let the middle of the dome get white, but not the entire dome. I did not make a roaring fire like I do for pizza. Long story short, the oven was about 450 when I put the loaves in, but about 360 after 20 minutes. I guess the oven mass was still sucking up heat. I had excellent oven spring and the bottom of the loaves browned, but the tops were pale. I turned them upside down after about 40 minutes, and they browned some. The internal temp of the breads only got to 190. They still taste OK, but they are not pretty and the crust is wimpy on the top.
Next time, I will fire for longer, as If I am going to bake pizza and let the temp come down.
Can I bake a sourdough boule at 600 degrees?

So-so experience, excellent posting
Sorry about the experience, but this is an excellent posting. You really put your finger on it. You've got to seriously fire your oven for baking, where you get a nice fall-off to bake in. You can't use heat you never put in the oven.
You can try starting your bread with the oven at 600ºF and see how it does. You might see burned crust before the crumb is done, if you start that high -- you can always use a little aluminum foil to moderate dome temperature. I think 550ºF might be better.
Of course Jim has the best experience here.

Oven Temp
Drake, James,
You have to be a little careful here. It is possible to bake at 600, but you'd better be on hand to watch and make sure you use steam. I'm with you, James, 550 F is where you want to be when the loaves are loaded. That way, you get both good spring and good crust caramelization. Drake, you're almost there. A little more management and you'll get it. It's always difficult, translating my procedures in a bread oven, to yours in a pizza oven, but it can--and will--be done.
Press on.
I am not too discouraged. It is only my second bake...Next weekend I am going to try a full fire (maybe make some pizzas!) then put my new door on it and let it cool.
Where do I read the temp?
The more I use my Casa110, the more I love it. Next is to bake some bread. However I need some guidence in temp reading.
From the earlier posts I see the need for a full firing of the oven. As the flames die and everything goes to coals, do I still need to clear the oven, or can I leave the dieing embers in the back?
As the temp stablizes, where do you take the readings? On the floor, on the sides of the dome, or at the top of the dome?
And finally, what is the temp that you are shooting for - 550?
I also have a Casa 110, so I'm interested in the answers to those questions, too. I'd also like to know if it's safe to spray water in the oven to get steam, or will that cause the oven to crack?
Hey Tom,
I have tried to put some basic instructions together here, and have thought about making it a PDF. Would that help? Check out this page and let me know.
If you are going to do some serious baking, either bread, a turkey, or just a lot of different dishes (say a chicken and 2-3 veggies), you should seriously fire the oven. Not necessarily hotter as you might for pizza, but longer. You want to drive a lot of heat into the dome and floor that you will use for retained heat cooking. At minimum you should shoot for a fully white dome. You won't burn that much more wood with the longer firing, and you will be able to really feel and use the retained heat. Try 90 minutes, or longer and see how it works.
Once the fire dies down (or you take it out), you will see the oven fall relatively quickly from 700ºF to about 550ºF, then there will be a nice long, slow and pretty predictable fall from 550ºF to 400ºF, which is where you want to bake. Roasting is a little different, as you are trying to hold a higher temperature for browning, searing, etc.
If you have taken the fire out of the oven, the temperature will be pretty consistent in the dome and floor. You can also get good at reading the air temperature by hand -- counting Mississippis. It really does work, particularly for bread. If you leave in your coals, be aware that one side of the oven will be a lot hotter, and you will need to turn things.
I think this is a lot of the fun. Using the heat for different types of cooking, and getting different tastes and effects.
Let us know how it goes.

Bread Temps
James, et al,
The target temp I use on the hearth thermocouple is 550 F. This reading comes from one inch below the hearth floor. I usually do baguette first, then heavier hearth loaves (1 kg), but sometimes both at the same time. At this temp, you get maximum oven spring, serious grigne development and great caramelization. But, I do inject a lot of steam, both before the loaves go in and once they are loaded.
In the next week or so, I hope to give many more details on these and other techniques I use for bread. Hope they will be helpful.
I guess part of the fun is to figure out the quirks and foibles of you particular oven. Baking bread in a wood-fired oven has just as many variables as pizza.
Personally, I'd always rake out the fire and use a door for bread. The spray technique, by the way, will not cause cracking in my experience. The water simply vaproizes in the superheated air, and never gets a chance to contact the brick or refractory material. Besides, these materials are pretty tough in my view. The "thermal shock" sometimes referred to just isn't a factor. Maybe use warm water if you're worried.
Don't forget, if you're using a recipe originally written for a home oven, start checking your breads for doneness at roughly half the time specified. For hearth breads and baguette, you're looking for an internal temp of at least 205 F; for enriched (butter, milk, eggs) pan breads, at least 190 F. At 550, my baguette reach the target temp in 12 minutes; 22 minutes for 1 kg boule. But you have to be vigilant .
For roasting, I usually let the hearth temp fall to about 400. This seems to work. For slow cooking or braising, 250 will do nicely. Overnight stuff, I usually wait until I've got 200, then walk away.
More soon.
Steam and straying
I forgot to answer this one. You can use a spray bottle to help put steam in the oven. It tends to burst into steam before the water hits the walls. I know some folks also use a garden sprayer (just don't use the one with roundup in it). Just don't do anything where you get the walls or floor wet.
We have a page on steam (featuring Jim) here:

Going with your thought, baking in a wood oven is a matter of experience too and it depends that you are looking for.
As an example, if you like crispy and medium, medium well ribs, could be good to go with high temperature and short baking time, 250 °C 482 °F and two hours.
If you are looking for tender ones, slow down the temperature to 150°C 302°F and let the ribs bake by four to six hours.
The ones in the first picture were seasoned with barbecue salt and garlic, wrapped up with barbecue paper and baked to 150°C for 9+ hours. These were so tender (almost melted) that you could not use a knife to cut it. Delicious!.
The second picture shows a same meat cut type, seasoned with barbecue salt, garlic, carrots, green pepper and some tomato slices. Wrapped and baked as above.
The breads in the third picture were baked at 300°C and the ones in fourth at 250°C (no time, just closed look)
I think that this last two mails could be changed to another thread, for example baking temperatures one.
No comments under disappointed bake are auspicious

On September 5, 2012, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Nicoya Peninsula on the northwest coast of Costa Rica. It started out pretty mild, but then it really got going, Bill Root, owner of a hotel in Samara, near the epicenter, told CNN. It was a very strong earthquake. Everything was falling off the shelves and the ground was rolling.

MFG #5 Results are now posted for King County CX
King County CX is now in the books, and results are posted here. What a spectacular day! Thanks to Rich "Mc Lung" for setting up a fantastically awesome course.
It's 7:35 pm on Saturday night, and you now have 25 hours to email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any result protests. All result protest requests will be addressed until Sunday night at 7:30 pm Pacific.
Thanks to everyone who made it out to this insanely fun course. Great flow, international-level course set-up, and a really good time.
Course Comments – King County CX – Lakewood Park
I'm very pleased and relieved to be able to deliver this week's course comments on time. And cutting right to the chase: this is going to be a blast. Starting on the Evergreen H.S. cinder track, the race will go around the baseball field and run north into Lakewood Park for a rolling, hilly, off camber ridden, fun fest. Two short run-ups will add to the burn on the uphill side of the loop. The course then returns to the Evergreen H.S. grounds, where we will cover some familiar ground, but with some different lines.
The map should make it on the site soon. As always, it's a flow map, exact lines come later, but Dave Karman, his Black and Tan Coon hound Boomer and I saw some great ones this afternoon.
A big round of applause goes to Zac Daab, Terry Buchanan, and King County Parks for rounding all this up in less than 3 days.
King County CX this Saturday, Oct 31st!
We are pleased to announce that the previously cancelled Lincoln Park CX race for this Saturday, October 31st, has found a new home and King County CX will take place the same day, the same time! Please visit the Series Information page on our web site for King County CX directions and further details.
A huge thanks to John V. and Helen G. at King County Parks,, Andy M. at Hup United, and Debra L. at Highline for suggesting and permitting an event in less than 30 hours.
You can still register here for King County CX. We will be keeping registration open until FRIDAY NIGHT at 5 PM Pacific. If you have registered for the R.F.K.A.L.P (Race formerly known as Lincoln Park!), you are automatically registered for King County CX. If you were registered for Lincoln and want a refund, please contact zac at mfgcyclocross.com
Are you psyched that King County has been super accommodating to MFG and the Cyclocross community? Email King County Parks and Rec Assistant to the Director Kevin Brown and say thanks for all the work John V. and Helen G have done:
See you at King County CX this Saturday!
Race update for this Saturday, 10/31
Hi Folks,
We are still in conversation with getting a venue approved and annouced, and it looks like the final word will be slightly delayed until about 3pm today. We are 90% sure we will be putting on a race very close to Seattle this weekend. We are keeping the Bike Reg site up, and once we know the final word, we'll update the name of the race and the directions, but everything else including start times will remain the same.
Here at MFG we are sincerely blown away at the amount of support you have shown in the last 24 hours. Thank you for taking time out of your day to write emails, letters, and comments to various city officials. While we are saddened by the Lincoln Park cancellation, we continue to move forward and are putting all energy and effort into putting on a race.
Stay tuned!
-Zac D.
City of Seattle revokes Lincoln Park PermitOn Tuesday, October 27th, Low Pressure Promotions received an email from the Seattle Parks and Recreation Deputy Superintendent Christopher Williams, stating the previously permitted cyclocross event scheduled for Lincoln Park has been revoked by the City of Seattle.In short: The cross race at Lincoln Park has been cancelled by the City of Seattle, and Lincoln Park CX is cancelled.Low Pressure Promotions had followed every detail to a T in the application and permitting process including the following:
- Application submitted well ahead of the requested 2 months before event date requirement
- Paid all application fees and rental fees in full
- Provided the necessary insurance and named the City of Seattle as an additional insured party
- Received confirmation from the Parks and Rec department
- Received actual permit to hold event from Parks and Rec department
Additionally, Low Pressure Promotions gave adequate notice to park users PRIOR to the event, by placing physical signs in the park, posting messages on the West Seattle Blog Forum, and alerting local residents of the West Seattle Community.
Currently, as of Tuesday afternoon, we are working on an alternative venue close to the city of Seattle. We will post new information regarding the Saturday race by noon Wednesday, Oct 28th.
Below is a series of FAQ's to help guide you given this circumstance. Please be patient, as we are working on a positive outcome!
Q: Why has the City of Seattle revoked the permit?
A: The City of Seattle gave three main reasons for revoking the permit. Please note that we are in NO way placing blame on our friends who put on the previous CX race in 2003 at Lincoln Park. We respect their work, and believe the feedback from the community after that race was very one-sided. That said, the city sighted three reasons for pulling the permit; the permit has been revoked because of the following (verbatim):
- The department commitment in 2003 not to permit future cyclecross events in Lincoln Park following an event which caused significant damage and destruction to the park.
- Correspondence we received from the coammunity expressing concern with your planned event. We provided you with copies these e-mail.
- The potential for unreasonable levels of destruction and damage to what is considered to be a natural area park.
Q: Who wrote correspondence to the City?
A: A UW Professor and Boeing employee. We have given the authors the benefit of the doubt, and chose not to publish their names, phone numbers, or home addresses. The emails are public record and can be requested in full using the email addresses below. Here is a link to one of the letters. Think your voice doesn't matter when writing to local, state, and national government? Think again.
Q: I pre-registered for the race, will I be refunded?
A: We are trying to re-locate the venue. We will have an answer by noon on Wednesday, Oct. 28th. In the event you want a refund, please contact us and we will absolutely refund your race entry, or apply it to a potential new race which is still to be determined.Q: What will this mean for MFG point series?
A: This will be determined after we've figured out the extent to which we can land an alternative venueQ: What can I do to help?
A: Currently, the Superintendent of the Parks and Recreation Department, as well as Seattle City Council member Tom Rasmussen, have only heard feedback from citizens expressing–very candidly–why the permit should be revoked. While it is clear that this decision at Lincoln is final, you can provide your feedback to this news by writing three folks:
- Tom Rasmussen, Seattle City Council Member, Chair of the Parks and Recreation Department: email@example.com
- Timothy Gallagher, Superintendent Seattle City Parks and Rec: email@example.com
- Christopher Williams, Deputy Superintendent Seattle City Parks and Rec: email@example.com
Q: As you choose a new venue with literally 48 hours to let the CX community know if a new venue is on or off, what priciples are you using to make your decision?
A: Venues are very difficult to find. We were first offered options from the City of Seattle which were not suited for Cyclocross. We were then offered a great option, but the date was for Sunday, November 1st, and we specifically chose to yield to Seattle Cyclocross's race at Maris Farm. As we continue to look for an emergency venue, we look to previously established relationships which we have forged with City, County, and State Park relationships.

Beyonce Ex-Boyfriend Speaks On…Beyonce
Earlier this year, Beyonce stated in an interview with L.A. Confidential: "Fortunately I haven't had any break-ups! This is my first relationship" in reference to her relationship with Jay-z. However, as always when you become a star, ex-boyfriends and old friends begin to come out of the woodworks ready to sell their story to the highest bidder. A chef out of Houston by the name of Lyndell has somehow emerged over the last few weeks and he is telling whatever he can (which isn't much) about his relationship with Beyonce when she was a teen. I'm not sure what he's trying to accomplish, but he tells DC Rumours that if certain people weren't involved, he and Beyonce would still be together….or atleast friends. He's also asked about whether they had a sexual relationship and if the rumors are true that she was pregnant. Check the interview below:
SG: Now, we have heard many rumours surrounding your relationship with Beyonce and Im hoping you can clear some of them up for us. Firstly, what are you doing with yourself at the moment?
LL: Well, I am currently still living in Houston and working as a Chef. I am extremely passionate about my job and I love what I do. I have a good family and good friends so I couldnt ask for anything more than that. Life is good!
SG: Glad to hear that. How did you meet Beyonce?
LL: We were very young in our teens. From the same area in Houston. We knew each other a long time. We were very close and very good friends. (silence)
SG: Ok, Define friends.
LL: (laughs) We would go out together, I would take her to the movies or we would eat out. Normal things teenage kids do. It was "puppy" love.
SG: So you were in love with Beyonce?
LL: Love is a strong word for a teenage relationship but we were very close and I cared ALOT about her. I still do.
SG: Are the rumours true that you got Beyonce pregnant and she had to have an abortion?
LL: You know, when I heard this rumour I was really upset by it. Unfortunately, at the time I was not able to speak on it and people were allowing the speculation to go around. Beyonce as far as I know did not have an abortion.
SG: So you and Beyonce did have a sexual relationship?
LL: No comment
SG: (laughs) Ok I think you answered that already. When you say you were not able to speak on things, what do you mean by that?
LL: I watched Destiny's Child grow, I knew all the girls and I saw them progress. I was there when they got their first deal, when they rehearsed. I was a close member to the family even though some people didnt approve of me being there. The DC Empire looking back now was very cleverly orchestrated and every member of the team was under a microscope. Whether that was on a personal or working relationship. Anyone close to those girls, espeically Beyonce at that influencial time in her life was a threat. It was all about Focus, Focus, Focus. Apparently, boys don't equal focus which I kind of understand.
SG: Who were some people?
LL: Im still not allowed to say. But trust me there was and still is.
SG: You sound slightly bitter about the situation.
LL: I am slightly. I am sure if other people do not get involved Beyonce and I would still probably be together. At least be in contact.
SG: So you dont speak to Beyonce anymore?
LL: No, we have not spoken in a long time. I see her family sometimes around Houston but it isn't what it was.
SG: I get the feeling you were warned off.
LL: I dont really want to make any further comment on it.
SG: Ok. When you see Beyonce and how popular she has become how does it make you feel?
LL: Well obviously I am pleased for her. I think she has done amazingly well, just as much as the other girls. I knew LaTavia, LeToya and Kelly. They have all done so great. I wish them nothing but success. They are doing what they thrive off and so am I. I wish them nothing but good health and happiness.
SG: So you dont look at Jay-Z and be like "Oh that could have been me"
LL: (laughs) Not at all. I am in a very happy place in my life.
Lyndell has obviously signed a confidentiality agreement or under a gag order/ pay off of some sorts. I'm assuming there will be no book deals in the future :-P. Probably has received a few threats from Matthew as well and I don't blame him. Beyonce should be thanking her lucky marbles that that is the only guy she had to "shoo' out of her life. The less people know the better. Carry on…
Thanks to Destiny's Child Rumorsfor sending…
Updated to say: I am told the website has been trying to contact Lyndell for awhile before he finally granted the interview.

About the Birmingham History CenterBirmingham History Center
1731 First Avenue North
Suite 120
Birmingham, AL 35203
(205) 202-4146
The Birmingham History Center is a brand new museum in Birmingham that opened its doors in April of 2010. The goal of this museum is to preserve and highlight the rich history and culture of Birmingham in the course of its one hundred forty years. Another brilliant aspect of the museum is the way it spotlights Birmingham's vast influence on history. In the museum you will find exhibits focused on World War II and Birmingham's Heroes, the Great Depression, and Birmingham's influence on the Civil Rights Movement, and many more.
My Service-Learning Project
Service Learning assignment consisted of two parts. For the first part I was to pick an organization or group for which we could volunteer and gain experience through service learning. The second part of my assignment was to create a multimedia project to benefit the organization or group. My major is history so I chose the Birmingham History Center. My assignment at the museum was very hands-on I organized files that were donated to the museum from a citizen of the Birmingham community. my primary focus was on the Soap Box Downhill Derby in Birmingham between 1962 and 1970. For my multimedia project I chose to create a virtual tour of the museum, which you will find above.
Insights from my Experience
While volunteering at the museum, I participated in the process of archiving materials that go into a museum's exhibit. I also witnessed first hand what goes into curating a museum. I experienced the challenges of spacing a museum and I realized the challenges of proper lighting for different exhibits. More than anythingl, my most enjoyable experience was getting to work alongside the passionate and tireless historians of the Birmingham History Center.

Astronomer Geoff Marcy assumes that extraterrestrials might try to communicate with us by pointing lasers at Earth (31 March, p 28).
This possibility has been studied. If they know about our civilisation, such beings would point at the telescope dish with the largest reflecting surface. If our mutual position in the Milky Way allows it, their first choice would then be the MAGIC gamma-ray telescope in La Palma, Canary Islands - with a reflective surface of 240 square metres. We plan to take it seriously and look at our data for evidence.
However, our colleagues at the VERITAS gamma-ray telescope in Arizona have already studied some of their data, searching for pulsed laser signals, and they have found no hint yet. Rest assured: if we find something we'll tell you.

DPRK Joint Statement Supported by Chongryon
| Pyongyang, January 10 (KCNA) -- Nam Sung U, vice-chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), issued a statement Friday in support of the joint statement of the DPRK government, political parties and organizations.
The statement said that the joint New Year editorial is powerfully encouraging not only all Koreans at home but also Chongryon and compatriots in Japan in their nationwide struggle for glorifying another decade of the 21st century as a decade of putting an end to the tragedy of national split and achieving reunification and prosperity.
Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan unequivocally support and hail the joint statement which contained a proposal for having wide-ranging dialogue and negotiations with the political parties and organizations including the authorities of south Korea, the statement noted.
It demanded the south Korean authorities give up at once sycophancy toward the U.S. and confrontation with fellow countrymen aimed at bringing misfortune, sufferings and war disasters to all the fellow countrymen, and urged all the political parties and organizations of south Korea to positively respond to the important proposal from the stand of protecting the interests of the nation.
It called upon Chongryon and Koreans from all walks of life in Japan including those affiliated to the south Korean Residents Association in Japan to support the joint statement and turn out as one in the struggle to open an epochal phase of peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

Itch Dr.™
Proven herbal itch alternative remedies - Athlete Foot and Jock Itch treatment
Use Itch Dr. to:
- To soothe symptoms of itching and irritated skin
- To treat and relieve fungal infections like jock itch and thrush
- For fast relief of pruritis ani
- For prevention of bacterial and fungal infections
- To encourage rapid healing of the skin
What can cause itching?
Itching is also known as pruritus and is that tingling irritation of the skin that causes a strong desire to scratch.
There are many things that can cause itching: irritation from chemicals or plants, insect bites or parasites, dry skin, allergic reactions, fungal infections, kidney and liver disease, anxiety, eczema, medications, infectious diseases like chicken pox and even kidney or liver conditions.
The more serious causes like liver disease are luckily the less common ones and most itching is caused by easily treatable conditions.
Fungal infections like "jock itch", athlete's foot and thrush are high up on the list of common causes of itching. These infections can be very uncomfortable and unpleasant and have a tendency to recur, especially when there is an overgrowth of yeast, like systemic Candida.
Pruritis ani - itching in and around the anus - is another common and sometimes embarrassing problem. This too may be caused by systemic Candida but is also associated with conditions like hemorrhoids and eczema. Even certain vitamin and mineral supplements or a particular foods which are ingested can be to blame. Though seldom serious, pruritis ani can be very unpleasant.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the cause of the itching. For example, if itching is related to thrush, antifungal creams may be prescribed to treat the problem. If itching is due to a food allergy, then the allergen should be identified and avoided. Treatment may be topical (i.e. applied to the surface of the skin) to stop the itching and may also include oral medications such as anti-histamines.
Natural Remedies Can Help
Naturopaths realize that itching is a systemic reaction to an underlying problem. Therefore it is important to treat the cause of the itching and to take steps to relieve the itching itself so as to remove the discomfort experienced.
There are many medicinal herbs as well as homeopathic ingredients that can be very effective in treating both the causes and the symptoms of itching conditions, leading to relief without the side effects of prescription or synthetic drugs.
What is Itch Dr.?
Itch Dr. is a 100% safe and effective natural cream for soothing and treating the common causes of itching. This topical remedy contains Vitamin E, well known for its soothing and healing powers in skin conditions, as well as carefully selected herbs with antifungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
Combined in a Vitamin E base, these ingredients are very effective in treating a wide variety of itching skin conditions.
How has Itch Dr. helped others?
"After reluctantly taking a prolonged course of antibiotics I developed thrush and other symptoms of Candida. The fatigue was bothersome but the itch was driving me up the wall!!! Your Itch Dr. was the only thing that helped within seconds. I used that cream and also your Candidate drops and diet and I am now happily back to my previous, healthy self. What a relief- thanks!" - Judy A.
"I recently had a most embarrassing and unpleasant problem - an itchy anus. The itch was excruciating and of course, I couldn't go around scratching it all the time. I have experienced this before - after a bout of diarrhea - and it took weeks to get better. I was keen to try your Itch Dr. so ordered and it and it really did the trick. Within a few days I didn't need it any longer as the area had healed and the itching had stopped altogether." - N.L.
What are the ingredients of Itch Dr.?
Itch Dr. contains the following herbal ingredients and essential oils in a healing Vitamin E cream:
Aloe ferox is a succulent and well-known medicinal herb native to South Africa. Aloe ferox has many different therapeutic uses and writings from as early as 1500BC in Ancient Egypt document its medicinal uses. For centuries this herb has been used topically for skin ailments like eczema and psoriasis. European sailors routinely used the sap to heal and protect their skin from the elements, rope burns, and salt water exposure. Modern research has verified the antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial functions of Aloe ferox.
Urtica urens is excellent for soothing, healing and pain relief and can be safely and effectively used on minor burns, hives and itchy skin eruptions. This herb is also useful for its astringent properties and will help to stop bleeding.
Hamamelis virginianum (Witchhazel) is an excellent astringent herb with anti-inflammatory properties. It can be used to treat itching, insect bites and stings, sunburn, minor burns, grazes, rashes and most skin irritations. Witchhazel also has antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties that help to treat and prevent infections.
Calendula officinalis (Marigold) is an excellent anti-inflammatory herb and prevents infection with its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. These antifungal properties make Calendula particularly effective for skin conditions caused by thrush and other fungal infections of the skin. Used to soothe and heal skin abrasions, dry rough skin, rashes, eczema, skin sores and dry patches, Marigold has also been shown to assist healing and the regeneration of damaged skin tissue.
Melaleuca laterifolia is also known as Tea Tree Oil and is used externally for inflammation and to treat various skin conditions. This oil has excellent anti-bacterial and healing properties and is one of the strongest anti-fungal remedies available. Tea Tree Oil will soothe and reduce inflammation of the skin as well as effectively treat any fungal infections.
Lavendula officinalis (Lavender) is a sweet-smelling essential oil which also has strong antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial properties. This oil also has balancing and soothing properties. Lavender is valued for its antiseptic, healing and calming properties and is wonderful for reducing discomfort and speeding up the natural healing process.
Vit. E Oil is widely used to promote skin healing, protect cells from free-radical damage and reduce discomfort and itchiness. Many people use Vitamin E products topically to ensure optimal skin health.

More Amazon in the news
November 19, 2012 | 8:29 pm
By Chris Meadows
I've been mostly away from my computer for the last few days, due to an early Thanksgiving visit with family. But I've been following the news while I've been gone, and there have been a few interesting items concerning Amazon.
One is that, in the UK, Philip Jones reports that Amazon had to answer to Parliament last week concerning its habit of basing its UK business in Luxembourg where it can fulfill orders without having to charge the sizable UK value-added tax (or what we in the US call sales tax) on it orders. Jones notes that there seemed to be more of theater about the questioning than actual substance, Since Amazon has been creating jobs and throwing lots of money around, it seems unlikely to warrant even a slap on the wrist.
Also having to do with Amazon's business practices: just a couple of weeks after it started testing month-by-month billing for Amazon Prime, Amazon has discontinued taking on new monthly users. Amazon has not made it clear why it's doing it, or whether it will return, just that it "regularly test[s] new options for [its] customers" and is not currently adding new monthly members. Perhaps it just wanted a small group of test subscribers? Or was the response not all Amazon hoped? Either way, don't expect the notoriously-closed-mouthed Amazon to elaborate on its reasons. Ever.
Another story of interest has to do with Tim Ferriss, one of the authors whom Amazon is publishing exclusively through its own professional publishing imprint—and, consequently, Barnes & Noble and other US booksellers are declining to carry in their stores because the e-book will be an Amazon exclusive. Ferriss's book is set to be published in just a few days, and in a result to make an end run around B&N, he has entered into a promotional deal with, of all entities, BitTorrent.
Lately, seemingly in an effort to appear more "legit," BitTorrent has been offering "Bundles"—free content related to recently-released media or entertainment products—that can be used for promotion. They seem to have been used primarily for music so far, but BitTorrent will be offering material relating to Ferriss's new book, The 4-Hour Chef. With "160 million monthly active users," and "driving between 20% and 40% of all Internet traffic," BitTorrent might possibly be a force to be reckoned with.
That hasn't stopped some from complaining about Ferriss comparing B&N's business decision not to carry his books to the sort of censorship that bans books based on controversial content. paidContent's Laura Hazard Owen writes:
The disruptors who do speak out for Ferriss won't be risking personal harm. They won't be standing up against free speech. Ferriss approached Amazon for a book deal and in four days, it will be published. That's not exactly censorship.
But Ferriss himself responds that, whatever the reasons behind it, any action that decreases the circulation of a book is "regress," rather than progress, and that it should be fought rather than allowing it to snowball.
Regardless of who is right, I have to say that the decision to use BitTorrent as a promotional engine is an intriguing one. I still wonder, though, just how many pirated copies of the entire book will be hosted there right alongside the legitimate promotional content.
Finally, blow out the candles: the Amazon Kindle turned five years old today, and so did the e-reading revolution it ushered in. Voucher Codes's "Most Wanted" blog has come up with the following infographic showing some facts and figures about the Kindle's enkindling of the e-book market, as well as an interesting retrospective article about it. I've lately come to using a Kindle regularly for the first time myself, and have become even more fond of it than I had thought I would be. (I'll write a full article on that later.) (Found via E-Reader Info.)

What ails Sweden's book world?
The pros and cons of buttons on e-readers (for page-turning)
Furor over Amazon review policy probably signifies nothing
Amazon revamps its rating calculations, favoring helpful, recent reviews of verified purchases
"Jones notes that there seemed to be more of theater about the questioning than actual substance"
The 'theater' came only from Amazon's side when they made the mistake of sending Mr Jones.
No idea what his role is in Amazon but given his complete inability to answer even the most basic questions about his company he displayed one of two things…. Complete incompetence or deliberate stupidity in an extremely disrespectful effort to avoid answering the questions.
Amazon weren't the only company summoned, Starbucks, who have paid just 8.6 million in tax despite sales of over 3 billion since launching in the UK, and Google were also summoned and neither of their representatives treated parliament with the same disdain that Amazon did.
Correction, it was Andrew Cecil who represented Amazon, Phil Jones is the reporter who wrote the article.
Hmm, the infographic is wrong if the connectivity information is supposed to correlate to the models above them. The first-gen Kindle had 3G connectivity through Sprint in what Amazon called Whispernet. That was the perhaps the #1 selling feature that made the Kindle instantly make the eReaders on the market at that time obsolete.
You're right, Frank. That's the one feature that made me give the K1 a try.

Brief Explanation:
Due to the biggest earthquake happened and nuclear plant disaster, after March 11th the entire country was depressed. In addition, the government forced major companies to save electricity especially the usage of air conditioner, Japan's hot summer became hotter. adidas wanted to do something to cheer up this country and somehow own the Cool biz trend and have adidas at the center of this movement. We came up an idea to turn hot temperature into the consumer benefit, instead of hating the hot temperature, we wanted to celebrate it. Hotter it gets, cheaper you can buy adidas product.
Describe the brief from the client:
Objective of this campaign was to own the Cool Biz trend due to the energy saving policy by government and have adidas at the center of this movement by celebrating this hot summer.
Description of how you arrived at the final design:
In retail environment adidas was trying to promote Clima Cool Biz style and adidas needed to come up something to drive traffic to retail and help increase sales of Clima Cool product.

Mustang MonthlyEvents
2012 Ford & Mustang Round-Up Show - Southern Glory
The Ford & Mustang Round-Up at Silver Springs kicked off the 2012 show season in majestic fashion
Every year when I fire up the laptop to write Mustang Monthly's coverage of the Ford & Mustang Round-Up, traditionally held the first weekend after New Year's at the Silver Springs theme park in Florida, I vow to avoid the subject of weather. After all, early January weather in north-central Florida is fickle—it could be hot with threat of a winter sunburn or freezing with sleet or snow, as demonstrated a couple of years ago when hardy participants built snowmen for photos in front of their Florida license plates. Once again, however, I find myself writing about the weather because, for this past January's event, it was perfect.
So there, I've gotten the weather report out of the way. Although I do have to add that the beautiful weather, with just enough cloud cover to prevent premature 2012 sunburns, contributed to the excellent turn-out, with nearly 1,000 Mustangs and Fords jamming every nook and cranny of the Silver Springs park. As always, host National Parts Depot picked up the tab for the first 1,000 pre-entries, a perk that includes two passes to Silver Springs and its famous glass-bottom boats. In addition to the fabulous cars, a number of companies that supply parts to NPD were on hand, including Flowmaster, Eaton Detroit Springs, TMI, Classic Instruments, and Stainless Steel Brakes. Representatives from Heacock Classic Insurance were also there to discuss classic car insurance with attendees.
We always discover interesting Mustangs at the Ford & Mustang Round-Up. With this year's coverage, we're taking a little different slant with "mini-features" about four Mustangs with interesting stories. Hope you enjoy it.
Bought, Sold, Bought Again
In 1965 while serving in the military, Humphrey D. "Smitty" Smith purchased a brand-new '65 Mustang fastback in California. For the next six years, the Mustang served as Smitty's regular transportation as military duty took him around the country and on a three-year stint to Germany where he frequently drove the fastback on the Autobahn. In 1971, Smitty returned to the U.S. and sold his Mustang.
In recent years, Smitty has found himself engrossed in the Mustang hobby after acquiring an early convertible and a hardtop. It eventually occurred to him that he should try to find his old fastback. Using the VIN from the Owner's Card that he had kept and a favor from a friend in law enforcement, Smitty was able to track down his original Mustang, locating it in Jacksonville, Florida. In 2007, he bought the car back, returning it to his current hometown of Summerton, South Carolina. Over the past several years, "Kermit" has been restored by Gene and Scotty Turner, who added a few upgrades like styled steel wheels, Pony interior, and Hi-Po engine dress-up.
Canadian King Cobra
It was hard to miss Tony Thompson's '78 King Cobra when he passed us on a four-lane section of highway during the Pony Trails cruise. When we chatted with Tony at the show, we learned that his Mustang II was original sold in Canada, so the odometer shows 87,769 kilometers (approximately 53,000 miles). Tony has owned the King Cobra for 12 years. It remains in mostly survivor condition.
Body-in-White Cobra
At first glance, Steve Erickson's Performance Red Mustang looks like a very nice '00 Cobra R, only missing its tell-tale rear spoiler. In reality, Steve built his R look-alike from a body-in-white.
Using his connections from having worked at Ford and Steeda Autosports, Steve acquired the '04 body-in-white in 2005. From there, he began collecting parts to build the Mustang into a functioning street Cobra R. As Steve points out, he used all factory parts, right down to the 385hp 5.4L DOHC engine. It took him 18 months to get the car registered with the Florida DMV as a '11 Mustang Cobra.
If you're wondering about the missing rear wing, Steve has an explanation: "I didn't want it to be an exact copy of the Cobra R because I didn't want to disrespect the 300 people who bought real ones."

10 Steps to Success in Bioinformaticsby Webb Miller
2009 ISCB Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award
I felt it was appropriate for the recipient of the ISCB Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award for 2009 to record some impressions of the bioinformatics field, and I thank the conference organizers for giving me that opportunity. I have arranged my thoughts as ten principles that guide me in setting my research agenda. Of course, other scientists may follow substantially different principles. Also, there are components other than research to a successful scientific career, including educational work such as developing curricula, and involvement in professional activities such as organizing conferences. The suggestions below are simply the rules that underlie my research program. There are only two fundamental principles, from which the others follow, somewhat like two axioms and eight theorems. In particular, principles 3-5 follow from #1, while principles 6-10 follow from #2. After describing the 10 principles, I will recount some of the twists and turns of my professional life that led me to adopt them.
1. Become a biologist. This message comes directly from a keynote address given by David Botstein at the 1997 RECOMB meeting. My interpretation of the adage is to organize one's value system so that the driving principle becomes solving biological problems, rather than looking for biological problems to illustrate research in other areas. That is, be driven to solve problems concerning cancer, AIDS, ageing, development, evolution, etc., not by guidelines used in other disciplines, such as "my proof is harder than your proof".
2. Value your number of citations above your number of publications. Bioinformatics is an excellent field for attracting high numbers of citations in the scientific literature. For instance, only a small proportion of papers in the journal Genome Research are devoted to describing bioinformatic software and/or web servers, but they account for 8 of the journal's 12 most-cited papers (out of 2,663 publications as of 1 January 2009); the 12 are just the papers published in that journal that have been cited at least 500 times. Also, bioinformatics has some of the biggest citation monsters in all of science, such as the 1994 paper on Clustal-W (Thompson et al. 1994) with over 25,000 citations, despite the fact that the journals with the highest impact factors (e.g., Nature and Science) do not publish this kind of paper. By comparison, no 1994 paper from any discipline in Nature or Science has over 6,000 citations, and only four of the 5,858 papers published that year in those journals have over 3,000 citations. One lesson that I take from comparing these numbers is that citation counts for bioinformatic papers are not directly comparable to those for papers that present scientific discoveries. Moreover, even among bioinformatic papers, citation counts are by no means guaranteed to provide an accurate assessment of a paper's impact. However, citation counts have the advantage of being objective and easily obtained, and I believe that by observing characteristics shared by the most highly cited bioinformatic papers, one can glean valuable guidelines for structuring research programs.
3. Collaborate, and do it with great collaborators. In my experience, collaborative projects are the best way to focus all of the necessary expertise on a biological question that has a major bioinformatic component. Also, it is essential (but not always easy) to find collaborators with whom you can be productive. Here is a list of a dozen great collaborators that basically traces my career in bioinformatics. If you get an opportunity to work with one of these people, I recommend that you jump at the chance. Listed in approximately chronological order they are: Gene Myers, David Lipman, Bill Pearson, Ross Hardison, Richard Gibbs, Eric Green, Ladeana Hillier, David Haussler, Jim Kent, Mathieu Blanchette, Adam Siepel, Tom Pringle, Bill Murphy, and Stephan Schuster. I also have a list of collaborators to avoid. Maybe someday over a beer I'll give you those names.
4. Do not expect a warm welcome from everyone. Some biologists will welcome you with open arms, some will be pleasant but too busy, and some will resent your trying to get lots of money to work on "their" problem or experimental system. Issues may arise because a traditional biologist thinks of bioinformatics as a routine service. Once, on an NIH proposal-review panel, I remarked that a bioinformatics person applying for funding was not listed as a co-author on some of the papers where he claimed to be a collaborator. A biologist on the panel replied, "I never put my bottle-washers on my papers." My first exposure to real hostility in this field came as quite a shock, because my initial collaborations had been so agreeable.
5. Be a good collaborator. Everyone knows how to do this. Basically, it is just what you learned in kindergarten: maintain humility and a sense of humor, do more than your share, and deliver on time. However, not everyone adheres to these rules; you probably remember that "other list" mentioned at the end of principle 3.
6. Distribute and maintain software and/or run web servers that you personally continue to use. When I look for the characteristics that distinguish the highly cited papers describing bioinformatic software from the less popular ones, this pops out as the strongest correlation. Writing software to be used only by collaborators or customers, or for a task that won't interest you next year, just does not seem to work well; you may be able to get a publication out of it, but in 10 years it will probably look like a waste of time as judged by citation count.
7. Alternate between working on specific datasets and writing general-purpose software. This principle is implied by #6. In computer science jargon, the distinction is between an instance of a problem and a full-fledged computational problem. Thus, the folks responsible for Clustal have also written biology papers about protein families, where it just so happens that they used Clustal to do the analysis. Incidentally, papers that focus on important datasets are how you can become a media star (another potential objective function).
8. Write some of your own software. This is the most controversial of my suggestions. A bioinformatics leader about half my age once expressed amazement that I still write programs. However, relegating all programming to others causes problems, both for working on a specific dataset and for writing general-purpose software. When you get an idea for a program adjustment that might work better for the current dataset, you won't want to wait until your student comes to the office to find out. More importantly, when a change is needed in software you have been distributing for five years, you won't want to be without the services of someone who knows the code.
9. Don't give up. I'm suggesting that you write papers, look at them in 5-10 years to see how many times they were cited, and adjust your research program accordingly. Obviously, this takes time. Fortunately it gets easier as you learn more biology, develop a pool of collaborators, and get a reputation for playing fair.
10. Be excited about your work. This is essential for maintaining a long-running research program. We all know that "burn-out" happens. The trick is to see when it is headed your way and make the sacrifices needed to avoid it. Over the years, different strategies have worked for me; below I outline my current approach.
How I came to adopt these principles: My professional career led me to bioinformatics by an extremely circuitous route, along which I experimented with a number of approaches for picking research problems. It was a long time before I adopted principles 1-10.

I'm done with the hacksawed and asbestos wrapped exhaust. I'm done with the cheap clips ons, the cheesy upholstered bumpstop seats. No fenders.
What I'm most pissed about is the stupid prices they're asking for these clatter traps. Guys taking perfectly nice looking 400-4 SS Hondas and doing their own version of a cafe, then asking double what a 400-4 is worth. Guys selling 1/2 finished cafe's of 78 Honda 750's for 5K+!!! And getting it!!!
Rant over.
Why would it piss you off? Those old 400-4s, weren't worth anything 10 years ago, they aren't worth anything now, and they won't be worth anything in the future. Those guys that want all that money for them? They'll own them forever. They're just bikes. I went through the cafe thing in the 70s and 80s, I'm over it, but nostalgia can be blind, and things seem better now than they used to be way back when. They still suck, that's why I've been continually getting better and better bikes for the last 40 years.

ADVISERS advise, as the saying goes, so it could not possibly have been Mrs Thatcher's fault this time - unless, that is, she writes her own speeches.
In her 'Defence of the Globe' speech to the United Nations two weeks ago, in which she discussed measures for reducing pollution, Thatcher made what struck us as an odd pledge to promote the development of lean-burn engines for cars. It's odd because although Britain did promote lean-burn engines for years, in preference to the rival catalytic converter, in July this year the government finally capitulated. It agreed with the rest of the European Community to go for catalytic converters instead.
It just goes to show that not everything that is green is good - especially when it comes to recycling old speeches. E'VE heard so much about the dire consequences that could result from the greenhouse effect lately that our eyes have ...

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - If you find yourself in a dining rut, consider taking a break from the usual and experiencing one of the many local restaurants Cedar Rapids has to offer.
Thursday, marks the start of Restaurant week in Cedar Rapids.
It's been done before in other big cities across the country. Now, for the first time, the Convention and Visitors Bureau is bringing it to Cedar Rapids.
Restaurants like Cobble Hill, Blue Strawberry, Batas and many others chose to take part. Nearly 20 restaurants in all are offering special menus with fixed prices. At lunch you get a 2-3 course meal or, in some cases, lunch for 2 for $15 and at dinner a 3 course meal for $25.
"It's really a chance for our local restaurants to show off. We want to encourage our residents to get out and dine out, take family and friends and try somewhere they haven't been before or haven't been in a long time, " said Jennifer Pickar, Cedar Rapids CVB.
Restaurant week runs through October 5th.

SPECIFICATIONSCaliber: 5.45x39 mm Overall length: 943 mm (728 mm butt folded) Barrel length: 405 mm Magazine capacity: 30 Weight, without magazine: 3,85 kg Maximum effective range: 700 m An advanced assault rifle. Built in 1994, the "Avtomat Nikonova" is declared a successor to the Kalashnikov series of rifles by historic Russian weapons manufacturers, Izhmash. The AN-94 uses a blowback shifted pulse system, reducing recoil and therefore increasing accuracy, particularly at long ranges. The way this system works is complicated and ingenious, the recoil from the first round fired works a pulley which slingshots a second round into the chamber and fires it before the shooter feels any of the recoil from the first round. This results in 2 Russian 5.45 x 39 mm rounds fired with nearly identical points of impact. The Abakan,'s two-round burst fire mode is capable of 1800 rounds per minute, however when operating in full auto, the blowback shifted pulse system is bypassed and the rate of fire drops to 600 rounds per minute. The Abakan contains a self-cleaning nozzle, in the shape of a number "Eight". However, the Abakan development costs are said to be too high for mainstream use, and are only being used in Russian special forces use. Game Appearances Battlefield: Bad CompanyIn Battlefield: Bad Company, the AN-94 is an automatic rifle with an extremely high rate of fire. It can be used during the mission 'Crossing Over' and can also be used online. In Campaign, it is found in one of the houses near the border with Serdaristan. In online mode, it is unlocked at the highest rank, which is Rank 25. However, owners of the game's Gold Edition have the weapon unlocked from the start. The AN-94 has the second highest rate of fire in the game, and is topped only by the FN F2000. The Akaban is balanced out by its high fire rate and low power. It takes approximately 10-12 shots to down an enemy. The Akaban as it appears in Bad Company 2. This player has the Red Dot attached. Battlefield: Bad Company 2In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the Akaban has a different firing mode. Rather than being fully automatic, it fires in two round bursts, much like the Akaban in real life. However, the bursts can be fired quickly enough to make the gun fully automatic. The two round bursts have very little recoil, but when several are fired in quick succession the gun will begin to recoil quite severely. This makes it advisable to use the Akaban with slower bursts at longer ranges. The Akaban is unlocked after gathering 28,000 EXP in the Assault class.

SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras, Nov. 25, 1998 Disaster relief supplies arriving here are getting to the people who need them, thanks in part to soldiers who continually fuel the workhorse transports that have been flying to the hinterlands.
Soldiers from Joint Task Force-Bravo's headquarters and support company have set up a forward refueling point near the small, remote village of Mocoron, close to the Honduran-Nicaraguan border.
"We have Air Force C-27s that fly supplies here almost every day, and a few Honduran helicopters that carry supplies out of here," said Air Force Staff Sgt. Jackie Whiting-Hilton, a C-27 loadmaster. "In order for us to get the supplies to the people who need them, we need a place where we can refuel."
A C-27 Spartan transport normally can fly the round trip from Soto Cano to Mocoron on a single tank, but a cargo-laden one can't take off with a full tank. The makeshift Mocoron fueling point makes the airlift possible for the C-27s and a variety of smaller aircraft.
Fuel is stored in 500-gallon fuel bladders strapped to cargo pallets and flown to Mocoron by C-27. Air Force pilot Maj. Fred Girbert said the transport crews deliver by combat offload -- that is, they land on the small dirt strip, open up the cargo door and pull forward, letting pallets roll off as they taxi for take off
"Our job is to make sure that the fuel is transferred safely from the blivets [bladders] to the aircraft," said fueling point team member Army Pfc. Ruis Gonzales, a petroleum supply specialist. "The operation is a small one, but an important one. Without a place for aircraft and helicopters to get fuel, it is impossible for supplies to get to places that are far from Soto Cano Air Base
Current missions to the Mocoron area include delivery of food and medical supplies. Joint Task Force-Bravo's traveling medical team is scheduled to visit residents in December.
[Spc. Jeremy Ausburn is assigned to the 49th Public Affairs Detachment (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C., and a member of the U.S. military relief mission in Honduras.]

This could be the spark the Ravens need to make a late-season run.
The Ravens have now won two in a row, and played their most complete game in quite a while against their archrival Thursday. The Pittsburgh Steelers could be on their way out of the playoff picture, while the Ravens might be making a serious move.
