You need:
1. Electronic alarm clock
2. Cardboard rolls
3. Paper packaging
4. Old wires
5. Hot glue
6. Electrical tape
7. Cutter
Step 4:
Still need to finish it with tape and some more wires, but the start is there. So thanks a lot, now I will wake up scared every day, thinking that I will be blown up within seconds.
Very Nice !! I might just make this :-)
I love it! I might just make this!
Be careful with this. Imagine yourself a First Responder (Police, Fire, EMS) and walking into someones home to help them (heart attack, cardiac arrest, etc) and seeing this. They are trained to see things like this and react accordingly. This is done in a second or two and the reaction is to evacuate and call in the specialists to deal with the device. Even if the occupants say its a hoax, the area will be evacuated and the bomb squad brought in. The bomb squad, depending on the device and location, may detonate the "device" in place to avoid injuries or death. Could be your house or place of business. Not to mention that the care that is needed for the patient is delayed or not completed because of the immediate evacuation of the area. Sound far fetched? It has happened. My two cents.
@jwood1308 >> I agree with you it could happen! - Good point
Wow I make this project. It seem easy and kinda fun to do. : )
the only thing I would do different, would be to use PVC pipes instead of cardboard tubes for the "dynamite". Perhaps at that point you could make a cavity inside of the assembly to hide the transformer in the middle of it. it would minimize the exposed live wires.
And, of course, if you had an alarm assembly that could be run off of batteries, then one of the pipes could be used as a battery holder.
....go big or go home! If you can add a battery...having said battery pack strapped to the "Package" would only make it look More real.....Hmmm.....MAYBE that Wouldn't be such a Hot idea... LOL
....and yeah, I'm making one as well. My wife is gonna KILL me! (LMAO)
You could wrap wood dowel with the paper. It would add a bit of weight to the project and would not crush. The middle tube could be be a 1.5" PVC pipe to be used as a battery holder.
Another thing I though of is that you could implement this with an PIC or something similar, and have the alarm count down after turning the alarm on for the night making it more realistic. The use of a wall wort power supply may work for powering the clock as long as the module has an onboard cyrstal oscillator. Many clocks need 60Hz to keep the time, but then, some don't.
I think I might make a few of these for Christmas presents Dec 2013!
It's a lot of fun - both making it and giving it as a present to a kid. Mine loves it.
The genius of it is it's really easy to do and actual makeshift solutions only make the design more credible.
My humble modifications:
- I left the transformer in the original clock case this way only low voltage wires go to the 'bomb' (it reduces the risk of electric shock and while I don't think this clock's power consumption would make the transformer overheat putting it next to a bunch of paper makes me nervous)
- my clock came with a 9V backup battery which I taped to the top which makes up for the missing twisted wires which give the original design a nice touch
- I printed some DANGER EXPLOSIVE labels inspired by a hasty Google image search.
Big thanks for this instructable!!
Here's what mine looks like:
Texas Penal Code--
46.08. Hoax Bombs
(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly manufactures, sells, purchases, trans- ports, or possesses a hoax bomb with intent to use the hoax bomb to:
(1) make another believe that the hoax bomb is an explosive or incendiary device; or
(2) cause alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies.
(b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
(13) "Hoax bomb" means a device that:
(A) reasonably appears to be an explosive or incendiary device; or
(B) by its design causes alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or a volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies. ...
Your intention may be innocent but building something like this might get you into a sticky legal situation. The onus would be on you to prove in court that it was not your intention to "cause alarm".
Section 13 basically reads: "(13)A 'hoax bomb' is a device that (B) alarms a cop"
It gives way too much room to abuse. A crooked cop can arrest or shoot whoever they want, and say he/she saw the defendant/deceased reaching for a bomb. Bombs can be made to look like anything, therefore anything can look like a bomb.
The pun was not intended but made me chuckle.
That said, this is a toy. An awesome toy. I knew people who were killed by drowning, hit by a car, gravity, obesity and a falling tree. This is no reason for me to expect, or even to ask, someone to remove something they created if I find it distasteful. I wouldn't ask someone to remove something related to cars, physics, cooking, or lumberjacking.
Would you ask everyone to refrain from doing anything creative in the future in honor of the people that will die? We need a lot less of your attitude. Nobody said anything about going to an all-you-can-eat buffet immediately after the funeral visitation for an overweight relative who died of a stroke. Nobody said "maybe we should all just get salads" (although a few in the group should have done so themselves). You've got to live while you're alive, you don't want to realize on your deathbed that you've never lived!
Great build btw, thanks for sharing this with all of us!
It's a prop, it's not hurting anyone.
Americans are rapidly turning into fearful, cowering sheep, despite the simple fact that one is orders of magnitude more likely to die in a car accident than from a "terrorist event." The purpose of terrorism is to spread terror, and so by being fearful of every little thing, it gives those who wish to wield fear as a tool of control every reason to continue to do so (e.g. terrorists, and the legislators who take advantage of "terror events" to push their agenda).
The reality is that the world is a violent, random, chaotic place, even before taking into account things like terrorism and intentional violence. When you look objectively, you find that living in constant fear of terrorism is like living in fear of lightning strikes or shark attacks. It's irrational.
The government pisses off other countries, then the media says these people are trying to kill us (and hey, a lot actually are, what would WE do if other countries invaded us or blockaded our waterways?!?!), then our government kills a bunch of citizens and covers it up by framing "terrorists" and "lone gunmen" in coverups, then the media reports the official story while completely ignoring all the inconsistencies and impossibilities and amazing similarities in the official stories. So a few cowards believe that we need to give up freedom in exchange for the illusion of safety, they make a bunch of noise about it, and somehow, IN AMERICA, supposedly the freest country in the world, people are afraid to build an alarm clock. What do we call senators and congresspersons collectively? Lawmakers. Over 200 years of accumulated laws, and each year they keep making more. We have enough! We need less government!
If everyone out there knew there were a bunch of other people out there who are just as tired of it as everyone else, maybe something would change. But that's not what the government and media want (the Royalty over here). So we get more and more laws that their subjects are afraid to break. So you get the cowering sheep. Over here, you can build one of these clocks, which could harm someone slightly more than a cardboard tube, but considerably less than a steel tube, and go to prison for life. Anyone who doubts you COULD go to prison for building this ,with no bad intentions, must be blind, deaf and dumb. Anyone that doesn't build one because of that is a coward.
I just might build one that counts down to the alarm and sets off a string of firecrackers concealed in a steel tube when it reaches zero.
Awesome project!
But again, most people don't know these things, all they know they learned on TV.

JERUSALEM—As dark fell on Tuesday night, reports from inside the Gaza Strip painted a grim picture, despite the fact that a ceasefire appeared to be imminent. Multiple foreign journalists have been reporting via real-time updates on Twitter that Israel dropped hundreds of leaflets throughout Gaza earlier today, warning residents to move toward the center and to Gaza City for their safety. Gaza City is in the north part of Gaza Strip.
At approximately 8:24 p.m. local time, Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced via its Twitter account that a ceasefire has been reached.
#FMDavutoglu " A ceasefire aggrement was reached. The ceasefire will come into effect at midnight" #Gaza
The ceasefire, is set against the backdrop of intensely ramped-up international diplomacy. Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was on her way to the region. She is scheduled to stop in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Cairo. As per U.S. policy to not engage in diplomacy with terrorist groups, Clinton will not meet directly with any Hamas representatives.
The U.S. has been relying heavily on Egypt to act as an intermediary with Hamas in negotiating an end to the violence between Israel and Hamas that has lasted for seven straight days. Earlier on Tuesday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon was in Egypt to meet with officials there.
The UK's Minister for the Middle East Alastair Burt was also in Israel on Tuesday.
Despite the promise of the imminent ceasefire, both sides continued to attack each other throughout Tuesday. At about 2:15 p.m. local time, the air raid siren sounded in Jerusalem, sending people running for shelter. It was reported that at least two bombs fell on the outskirts of the city. Later on Tuesday, there were reports of a rocket hitting Rishon LeZiyyon on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.

GENDER-Based Violence (GBV) cases in Zambia have reached alarming levels despite stiffer punishments being meted out on the culprits.
Regardless of ongoing campaigns, cases of GBV are still on the increase, especially child abuse and wife battering which remain a big challenge, thus affecting the development of children and women.
Defilements, rape, sodomy and incest, child neglect, physical and emotional abuse as well as early marriages are sky-rocketing despite the courts of law sentencing the culprits to longer jail terms between 15 years and 30 years.
Despite, the courts meting out longer and life jail sentences, the cases have continued to swell.
Some quarters of society have been calling for stiffer punishment but then one wonders that if the current jail sentences amount to life imprisonment then how stiffer should the proposed sentences be for such offences?
Currently, the Zambia Association of Women Judges is working on modalities to establish specialised fast-track courts to deal with defilement cases.
During the 2012, 16 days of GBV activism, parliamentarians joined the march to show solidarity and add their voices in condemning GBV as a vice which is degrading and eroding morals of society.
Statistics from the Zambia Police Victim Support Unit indicates that the country recorded 9,612 GBV cases in the last quarter of 2012, a figure likely to surpass the 2011 record of 11,908.
Previously, GBV was prone to children and women but nowadays even men are victims and one wonders what is causing such vices to keep swelling.
While other culprits might give an excuse that they were provoked by their spouse, others might say they did not know what they were doing or that it was the devil that prompted them to do so, others will simply keep mute.
For example, in Kitwe, Marvis Mwansa 26, of 692 Bulangililo Township said she was forced to pour hot porridge on her husband after she got incensed by his failure to provide for the family.
In an emotional testimony, Mwansa narrated in a Kitwe Magistrate's Court how she recently poured hot porridge on her husband during a domestic dispute.
She begged the court to forgive her because she did not know what she was doing when she inflicted wounds on her husband of 10 years.
Mwansa would now serve four months simple imprisonment for the offence. She was sentenced to six months imprisonment but suspended for two months.
Other incidences of the recent past include a farmer of Mufumbwe who was sentenced to death for hacking his wife to death and burying the body in a shallow grave he dug in the family maize field.
High Court Judge Isaac Kamwendo handed down the sentence on Eden Dinala, 41, who brutally hacked his wife, Carolyn Zulu with a hoe on December 14, 2009.
The death sentence came on the heels of condemnation of GBV and the need for the police to effectively deal with perpetrators of violence against women.
In another incident, on October 12, this year, a 30-year-old man in Chingola was sentenced to death for murdering his wife whom he beat up after she refused to cook nshima for him.
Maron Sinkala, a house boy of Mutimpa A in Chingola was believed to have caused the death of his wife Edna Makaliki, 20, on December 29, 2011 after a fight erupted between the two.
Sinkala beat up his wife after she refused to cook nshima for him when he came from work.
In passing judgment, Mr Justice Kamwendo said the evidence in the matter strongly connected the accused to the commission of the crime.
In another case, a youth of Ikeleng'e in North-Western Province was sentenced to death for killing a 71-year-old woman he had knocked down and dropped a bicycle on her.
High Court Judge Isaac Chali sentenced to death Guardic Kavwanda, 25, who was charged with the murder of Zaina Kaivwa on September 2 last year.
In sentencing Kavwanda, Mr Justice Chali was satisfied that the assault and the death occurred within the same space of time.
And in defilement cases, the victims are usually minors, who are traumatised for the rest of their lives as observed also by the courts.
On June 13, this year, Kitwe High court Judge Judy Mulongoti sentenced a 38-year-old man to 50 years imprisonment with hard labour for having sex with his two daughters on several occasions.
James Musonda of B9-34 Robert area in Kitwe was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for two counts of incest after he had sex with his two daughters, aged 11 and 13, between October 2010 and February 15 last year.
In sentencing him, Ms Justice Mulongoti said she had considered his mitigation that he was a first offender who deserved leniency.
She, however, said Musonda committed an abominable crime and did not deserve leniency.
Ms Justice Mulongoti said Musonda's daughters would forever be traumatised by what he did to them.
"A perpetrator of such a gross, wicked and abominable crime deserves no leniency and I thus impose a sentence above the minimum sentence.
"I sentence you to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour on both counts and the sentences will run concurrently," she said.
The girl's had testified that their father used to have sex with them each time he returned home drunk and would threaten them with death if they ever revealed their ordeal.
Musonda used to have sex with the girls against their will either during day time or at night and he used to use an electric cable to beat the older girl whenever she turned down his advances.
The girls told the court that they used to take turns in having sex with their father on different days with him choosing the one he wanted at a particular time.
They said their father would accost them each time their mother was not home and that after their mother died they became traumatised.
In another defilement case, Mr Justice Chali sentenced Frank Bwalya, a 21-year-old man of Mungwi, to 30 years imprisonment after upholding his conviction by the lower court for defiling a 10-year-old girl on October 31 2009.
The girl had testified that on the material day, she was passing by Bwalya's house around 18:00 hours when he called her to collect money for the caterpillars that she had sold to him on credit.
Bwalya, who lived within the girl's neighbourhood, asked the girl to enter the house so that she could collect the money.
When she entered he locked the door, put the light off and threatened to kill her if she shouted for help or if she ever revealed her ordeal to anyone.
The same court also sent Peter Sinkala, 25 of Nakonde to jail after having carnal knowledge of his 18-year- old niece whom he further married between October 01, 2005 and October 31, 2007.
When the charge of incest was read out to him, Sinkala said he understood it and pleaded guilty.
He told the court that the girl was his elder brother's daughter and that he had proposed love to her and she accepted. Sinkala said he did not force the girl into having sex with him.
The actual reasons where there has been this sharp increase in the cases have not been established because no research has been done to that effect.
Kitwe District Women's Day committee member Grace Mikunga said there was need to do research and establish what has suddenly triggered the rise in GBV cases.
"As long as, we don't understand the root cause of the problem, finding a solution will also be difficult," Ms Mikunga said.
However, some reasons for increased cases of GBV, according to chairperson of the Permanent Human Rights Commission, Pixie Yangailo, include traditional norms, religious and customary attitudes.
Ms Yangailo, a legal practitioner, said traditional norms, religious and customary attitudes were at the centre of continued GBV cases and called on all stakeholders to take the opportunity to revise progress made in the fight against the vice.
On the other hand, Chief Madzimawe, who is chairperson of the House of Chiefs, attributed the increased gender violence to poor or lack of communication among families and high levels of poverty which prevents women from reporting such issues.
United Church of Zambia (UCZ) Reverend Bishop Sylvia Mukuka expresses sadness at the increasing defilement and GBV cases in the country and advises that men should take a leading role in condemning such acts to help reduce them.
Bishop Mukuka says GBV cases are a challenge to the nation, the Church and the courts of law and states that more needs to be done to intensify efforts in securing a safe environment for women and children.
"There is need for all of us to embrace Christian values, instill self-discipline and our menfolk should vigorously get involved in condemning the perpetrators of such offences whereas victims should not conceal such crimes," says Bishop Mukuka.
Copperbelt Province Indigenous People's Land Rights Network project coordinator Hachi Mulunda says there is need for society to be morally upright to overcome the challenges of GBV cases.
Mr Mulunda says it's everyone's responsibility to be morally upright and overcome temptations of defilement and spouse battering.
He, however, feels that other than the courts meting out stiffer punishments on the culprits, there is need for the offenders, to be taken for rehabilitation or give them life sentences so that they are kept away from society.
As echoed by Bishop Mukuka, the fight against GBV needs concerted efforts from all and one way is to embrace Christian values and instill self discipline and self control.
It's time to shift the paradigm from women seeking shelter from men's violence to insisting angry men stop abusing their partners because the female fork were more vulnerable than men.
And that shift should be the educational system, media, sports culture, Government, the courts, faith communities in order to collectively lay to rest a damaging, outmoded view of men and masculinity.
That shift also means teaching boys and girls and men and women to look at relationships through the lens of equality.
The old school belief of men dominating women,that objectify women and fails to confront privileged men flouting their entitlement should be loudly and relentlessly challenged.

High-technology treasures from Russia's nuclear research establishments will soon be winging their way to the US, after the White House relaxed its trade rules last week. Its shopping list includes a small nuclear reactor called Topaz II, plutonium-238 and electrical thrusters for satellites.
The deals, involving technology worth $14 million, were negotiated several months ago, but then disappeared into bureaucratic limbo. Opponents within the US government argued that money from the sales would help to preserve threatening military research in the former Soviet Union.
The White House broke the impasse on Friday, announcing that the sales had been approved as part of a wholesale relaxation in high-technology tradewith the former Soviet Union.
Topaz II, without its uranium fuel, will be shipped to the Air Force's Phillips Laboratory in Albuquerque, where engineers have been waiting to study it. The reactor is designed for use in space, and produces six kilowatts of ...

I started reading this series when the fifth book was released and had an agonising wait for the sixth and seventh books to be released. This series is one of the best ones that I have ever come across written especially for teen readers - and John Marsden writes a gritty and realistic fiction that leaves you exhausted and satisfied at the same time. Ellie and her friends will win you over and make you hate them a dozen times over as their stories progress.
This book will grab you and shake and make you wonder how safe you really are. In this case the country that was invaded was Australia, but it could just as easily have been New Zealand, or Hawaii, or Britain, or ... At times I cried, at times I cheered, and at other times I just read about their lives and was grateful it was not me living that life.
You have got to read this series, even if it is just so that you can talk to your friends about it. The one word of warning is that you have to read the series in order or it will ruin parts of the story and be somewhat confuding.

We had a GREAT and reassuring appointment today. Heartbeat is strong, measurements on track, and we could even see the little sea monkey already squirming around during the ultrasound (though I can't feel it quite yet).
God is SO GOOD. We're still taking it a week at a time and are looking forward to sharing our news soon.

District Notification Service
As always, alerts on inclement weather will be posted to the WestCo Alerts on the homepage, local radio is notified, and FOX Channel 2 is notified. ...But wait, there's more! Keeping you informed is a top priority at West St. Francois County R-IV School District. That's why we have adopted a District Notification Service which will allow us to send a telephone, email message, or text message to you providing important information about school events or emergencies. We will be using AlertNow to notify you of school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather, as well as remind you about various events, including report card distribution, open house, field trips, and more. In the event of an emergency at school, you can have peace of mind knowing that you will be informed immediately by phone.
District Notification Service is sponsored by:
What you need to know about receiving calls sent through AlertNow
• Caller ID will display the district's main number when a general announcement is delivered. If the call is requesting you to call back or if you have a question about the call, contact the student's school office.

Pluot, oblong, sweet - good taste
Patented by Zaiger Genetics, Inc. Modesto, CA on 09/18/2001.
The present new variety of interspecific tree [((Plum.times.(PlumCot).times.(PlumCot))].times.[(Plum.times.PlumCot)] was developed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between a selected seedling [field identification number 7HC244 (non-patented)] and `Flavor Queen` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,420). The maternal parent (7HC244) was selected for a future parent in our breeding program and originated as a seedling selection from a cross between `Mariposa` Plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 111) with the selected plumcot [4G1180 (non-patented)] crossed with the plumcot seedling [42GA580 (non-patented)], both plumcots originated from open pollinated seed of `Red Beaut` Plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539). A large group of these first generation interspecific seedlings, growing on their own root, were planted and maintained under close and careful observation by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. One such seedling, which is the present variety, exhibited the distinctive desirable fruit characteristics described above was selected in 1992 for asexual propagation and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction, in 1992, of the new and distinct variety of interspecific tree was by budding to `Nemaguard` Rootstock (non-patented), as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that reproductions run true to the original tree and all charactristics of tree and the fruit are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
Our present new and distinct variety of interspecific tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth and is a regular and productive bearer of medium size, yellow flesh, semi-freestone fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having very firm flesh with good handling and shipping quality, having relatively uniform, medium size fruit throughout the tree and the fruit holding firm on the tree 3 weeks after maturity, the fruit having high soluble solids of 22.degree. Brix and relatively uniform maturity throughout the tree. In comparision to the interspecific tree `Flavor Queen` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,420), the fruit of the new variety has firmer flesh, higher brix, and is approximately 15 days later in maturity. In comparision to the `Mariposa` Plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 111), the flesh of the present variety is firmer with greater shipping quality, yellow compared to maroon; the skin is yellow, partially overspread with red compared to maroon and the fruit is slightly elongated compared to round. In comparision to the `Red Beaut` Plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539l ), the new variety has fruit which is larger in size, with firmer yellow flesh and is approximately 60 days later in maturity.
The description of each variety of peach or nectarine fruit under each group is in different formats as this information is collected from varied sources and hence is not consistent

Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
Tell me your thoughts...
600$ for a machine that just kneads pizza and bread dough?
Or mixing it by the old reliable kitchen tools at the end of our arms that we work with everyday?
To be able to save $600 for something else in my life sure is a tempting consideration, but I dont want to spend hours kneading dough for only one whole pizza, and then have to do it again for a second one either though.
How long would you say it takes to knead pizza dough by hand?
Someone at chowhound mentioned that the average person or baker would need to knead the dough over 1000 times just for ONE 10-inch PIE!!:eek:.
Is this true?
I hope not, as I would also like to make bread as well as pizza and do not have the time to knead 1000+ times for every single individual separate baked good that I would like to make at home.
What has been your experience with kneading? Has it lead you to believe this is true?
I simply just cant imagine kneading dough over 1000 times just for one loaf of bread only to do it again another 1000 times just for the next loaf.
Talk about exhausting:(
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
For a start you should probably not make dough for a single pie for it simply isn't even enough dough to work with. The best place to start is probably the FB recipe or Reinhart's to make 4 to 6 dough balls and freeze what you don't want immediately. They will keep up to 3 months and should give good results.
There are a variety of techniques for "kneading" dough. The conventional work the dough continuously by hand approach takes time and is IMO inferior to stretch and fold. S&F takes about a half hour but only three to five minutes working with the dough.
But it is probably best to think of kneading as therapy and if you consider it exhausting you should probably just buy the mixer.
Good Luck!
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
The last 4 batches of Pizza dough that I made were using 1Kg bags of Molino Capito. I only mixed the flour enough to hydrate the flour, 1 minute, and then let the dough rest for 20 minutes, autolyse. At this point I used the stretch and fold maneuver 4 times and put the dough in the fridge to rest for 2 days. The dough turned out great and the Pizzas as well. I used my 25 year old KitchenAid 5SS only to bring the ingredients together and after that it was all hand work. Even the initial mixing wouldn't have been difficult or physical. I just finished mixing stretching and folding a double batch of Peter Reinhart's Pain a l'Ancienne, all by hand, no mixer involved. With either of these dough's, cleaning the mixer is more trouble than it's worth at least this is my opinion. Jay knows bread and I'd bet he'll have some very good reasons, and bread recipes, where a mixer is a necessity.
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
I've been mixing by hand for a year and just got a mixer recently. My usual hand mix regimen for 80 ounces of dough at 68% hydration is this:
1. Hand mix in a bowl with a wooden spoon and dough scraper just until all of the levain/flour/water is incorporated.
2. 5-10 minute rest
3. Turn out the bowl on the counter and mix for another 15-20 minute.
4. 1-hour bulk ferment @ 76-degrees F.
5. Fold
6. 1-hour bulk ferment
7. Fold & pre-shape
8. Divide and shape
9. 3-hour+ retarded ferment in the fridge.
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
I erred on the lazy side - I bought a mixer. Plus, when the dough is spinning in the bowl, there are plenty of other things to get done.
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
I use a breadmaker and select the dough function. It does a pretty good job and it holds the dough at the right temp. However it only does one batch of about 500 g at a time. You can of course refrigerate or freeze batches of dough. I usually light the fire then start a batch of dough and go back to the fire with a beer. When the fire is ready so is the dough.
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
My Electrolux is almost 2 years old, and I love it. I normally make 11# of dough, which makes it pretty efficient for me. I usually make a large batch of pizza dough and freeze, or bake 8-10 loaves of bread. The mixer's been amazing for me.
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
I only knead the dough for 4 folds. Where do they get a 1000?!
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
My guess is the French lady that did baguettes for Julia Child. She used 1000 strokes as I recall but not 1000 folds. It was all done relatively quickly also without a loong autolyze.
Re: Electrolux Stand Mixer vs. Kneading by Hand?
This is kind of off topic and may seem like a simple question, but how do you "fold" your dough? I have been cooking in my oven for about 18 mos and I've never folded the dough. I just recently started using Caputo 00 and want to ensure I get the dough as perfect as possible. I have been having trouble forming the crust (dough springs back to a small size) and was wondering if I am not prepping my dough properly (i.e. not folding).

Test ID: 88905
PDGFB, 22q13, for Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans/Giant Cell Fibroblastoma, FISH
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Confirming the diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP)/giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF) and excluding other spindle neoplasms that closely simulate the DFSP histology, including dermatofibroma (benign fibrous histiocytoma), neurofibroma, spindle cell lipoma, and a variety of other benign and malignant spindle cell neoplasms.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a superficial, low-grade sarcoma genetically characterized by the unbalanced chromosomal translocation t(17;22)(q21;q13), usually in the form of a supernumerary ring chromosome. The product of this chromosomal translocation is the chimeric gene COL1A1-PDGFB. Rearrangements of this gene have been detected in approximately 90% of DFSP and its related infantile form, giant cell fibroblastoma, but not in other tumors.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-9% rearranged cells
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretative report will be provided.
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for the PDGFB FISH probe.
A positive result is consistent with rearrangement/amplification of the PDGFB gene locus on 22q13 and supports the diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) or giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF). A negative result is consistent with no rearrangement/amplification of the PDGFB gene locus on 22q13. However, this result does not exclude the diagnosis of DFSP or GCF.
The degree of PDGFB copy gain/amplification/rearrangement varies in individual tumors and among different cells in the same tumor. It is not currently known if patients with different levels of rearrangement/amplification have the same prognosis and response to therapy.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Reliable results are dependent on adequate specimen collection and processing. This test has been validated on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues; other types of fixatives are discouraged. Improper treatment of tissues, such as decalcification, may cause FISH failure.
Clinical diagnosis and/or therapy should not be based solely on this assay. The results should be considered in conjunction with clinical information, histologic analysis, and/or additional diagnostic tests.
Supportive Data
A blinded investigation was performed on 49 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues including 24 dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) tumors, 5 giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF) tumors, and 20 non-DFSP/GCF tumors. Each specimen had been previously characterized by 2 experienced, soft tissue pathologists. Two technologists scored 100 interphase nuclei for each specimen (200 total cells/case). Results showed that 20 of the 24 DFSP tumors had amplification of PDGFB, 1 had a rearrangement, and 3 were negative for both amplification and rearrangement. Each of the 20 non-DFSP/GCF tumors yielded normal results (ie, negative for both rearrangement and amplification). The 5 of the 5 GCF cases were also identified as abnormal.

Being green isn't anything new for us at ZUM; we've done a few LEED Certified building projects in the past. Brookfield Properties' Bay Adelaide Center in Toronto, Dosart Development's 690 Middlefield in Mountainview California, and Wilson Meany Sullivan's Lot 11 at Santana Row in San Jose California to name a few.
So when we heard that the Urban Green Council here in New York had released their study called "90 by 50," we were intrigued.
According to the study, New York City can reduce its carbon emissions an astonishing 90% by the year 2050. What's more, the researchers found that buildings are New York's main contributor to carbon pollution, putting out about 75% of the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions).
In creating the study, a virtual NYC was created using the widely-accepted building simulation model DEO-2 using each of 8 building types found in the city – low rise, high rise, row house, etc. – to estimate current GHG emissions. Then the model was tweaked and adjusted to improve the buildings with currently available technologies like insulation, heat-pumps, solar panels and triple glazing windows. Ultimately, they ended up with a model building sector nearly free of carbon pollution.
We especially like the idea of using a computer generated Model to help illustrate the possibilities and aid in the decision-making process.
But it's not quite that easy, the study says. Setting politics aside for the moment, questions about the feasibility of this endeavor have already popped up. "How does this retrofitting work get financed?" "How large of a workforce will be needed, and how do they get trained?" and "Are there material constraints on supplies or equipment that would hinder the renovation and construction?"
ZUM can help answer questions.
When it comes to getting questions answered, a 3D Model can be a designer and developer's most valuable asset. Once the model is created, there's a lot that it can help you do:
• Check for errors that might occur in the planning process
• Minimize errors/revisions in Design and RFIs
• Estimate the quantity of materials required
• Provide a clear picture of the final project
• Improve coordination among architects, engineers and contractor
• Lower project costs
• Show all New Yorkers what you are doing to help the environment
We even see using 3D Models to help with training and reviewing safety challenges before the first shovel hits the dirt. There's no getting around it, 3D Modeling can help in more ways than just creating a great looking rendering.

Paul Goldenberg
Mailing Address:
43 Foundry Avenue
Waltham, Massachusetts 02453-8313
E. Paul Goldenberg brings an exceptionally strong background in K–12 mathematics, extensive knowledge of the cognitive bases of mathematics learning, and more than 40 years of experience in curriculum development at both elementary and secondary levels, teaching, research, and professional development. He has taught from Grade 2 through high school mathematics and computer science, as well as graduate school mathematics and psychology for education. He brings particular knowledge and expertise to curriculum development, which has been his major focus at EDC.
Goldenberg has served as Principal Investigator on a wide range of projects during his 28 years at EDC, fostering a love of and enthusiasm for mathematics from early learners through adulthood. He and Al Cuoco and June Mark have championed the use of mathematical habits of mind—now aggregated within the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice—as organizers of curriculum since their initial paper written in the early 1990s. One such curriculum is Transition to Algebra, the product of a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded R&D project that he co-leads with Mark. Transition to Algebra, a full year algebra curriculum originally designed to support at risk students and their teachers, is now used equally to support and accelerate students in middle school. Goldenberg is also Co–Principal Investigator for Implementing the Mathematical Practice Standards, a project focused on professional development for teachers, and iPuzzle, a technology project that has developed apps based on puzzles used in Transition to Algebra.
Earlier at EDC, Goldenberg developed a K–5 comprehensive mathematics curriculum—now published as Think Math!—which supports teachers' professional development while they teach by building their interest in and curiosity about mathematics. This work was inspired by the classic Math Workshop curriculum, which, back in 1964, intertwined skill-building calculations with big ideas and deep understanding in a way that fully reflects today's Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice, specifically standards 7 and 8. Though published before Common Core, Think Math drew its principles from the same sources that led to much of the Common Core, and in particular, the Practice standards.
Goldenberg was Co–Principal Investigator for Impact Mathematics, a comprehensive three-year middle school mathematics curriculum.
He received a BA in Psychology from Brandeis University and an EdM in Elementary Education and a PhD in Curriculum and Supervision from Harvard University.

Environmental Scientist» search for more Jobs
Environmental scientists observe, measure and describe the natural environment with a view to conserve and protect it from harm such as pollution or contamination. A large part of the work of professionals in this field is in testing samples, integrating findings of past research and preparing environmental impact reports. The advice and recommendations of environmental scientists are often used in policy and legislation preparation, by tribunals or courts in place to approve development proposals and by companies whose business involves utilising natural resources or affecting the environment in any way (e.g. the manufacturing industry).
Post graduate specialisation is almost always necessary for any job title involving the word "scientist", though those with a bachelors degree may find employment in this field as technical officers, laboratory and research assistants. Conservation groups, private industry and the government sector are all employers of environmental scientists and this is an industry which is expected to grow as the state of the environment continues to become a mainstream issue in politics and the media.

As part of efforts of assessing members of the Federal Executive Council on their performances, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Friday summoned the Minister of State for Defence, Erelu Olusola Obada to account for tenure of her office so far.
She appeared before the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP where she gave account of her stewardship in office.
Though, it was held behind closed doors, a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Olisa Metuh said that the minister gave detailed operations of her ministry and submitted that the Armed Forces are on top of the security challenges facing the nation.
She explained that Defence personnel are working in close concert with other security agencies to tackle threats posed by the Boko Haram sect and oil thieves in the Niger Delta region.
Obada ascribed successes recorded in the fight against terrorism to the combat alertness of the Armed Forces and the political will of President Goodluck Jonathan in his commitment to providing all the necessary support to restoring normally in the polity.
According to the statement, the Minister also highlighted the role of Nigeria's Armed Forces in Mali, Guinea Bissau and other troubled areas in the African continent saying "our intervention has restored hope to citizens of those countries".
The statement said that other ministers are expected to give their report cards to the NWC in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the NWC of the party has congratulated the Kaduna and Benue Chapters of the party on the successes of the local government area council polls held recently in their states. It left out the local government election in Adamawa state, despite the fact that the party won all the seats at the November 24 council election.
A statement by Metuh hailed the smooth conduct of the polls, stating that the outcome has once more re-established the fact that the PDP is the party of choice and the only vehicle to deliver development at the grassroots level.
He commended the PDP's dedication to democratic principles in accepting the results in some areas where the party lost in Kaduna State saying "we are poised to end the bad loser syndrome in Nigerian politics. In the areas we lost, we are prepared to go back to the drawing board and work hard to reclaim them".
According to the PDP spokesman, "The fact that we are ready to concede to winners in other parties should be a lesson in political tolerance to other opposition parties who see electoral contests as battles to be won at all costs".
The PDP is particularly delighted with its victory in Benue State which the opposition ACN had falsely laid claim to being their territory. "The results of the polls have finally put the lie to the ACN's claims of strength in Benue and other States".

Networking help needed for a basic wireless network.

Networking help needed for a basic wireless network.
Firstly, this is suppose to be a very basic setup but I've found myself having lost much networking knowledge to the passage of time with little to no need for keeping it updated.
Anyway, I know have difficulty setting up even this basic network.
What I basically need is this: The cluster of 8 (it's actually 50 PCs) is connected to the Linksys wireless router via wireless NICs. The dotted cicle around them and the server, access point and router is physically in one classroom.
The other computers (the dotted circle bottom-left) is elsewhere in the building and is connected to the ADSL Modem.
Basically I want the 50 PCs to have file-sharing access to the server.
This means I would like to know how I should configure IP addresses for the various computers.
My server should have access to the 10.x.x.x network and also have internet. My server should also be on the isolated 50 PC network (for file-sharing) but those 50 PCs should not have Internet access. Some bridging might be needed maybe. I'm not exactly sure how to do this, but some pointers will help alot.
Could someone please guide me to set up this network.
I'll elaborate if you need more information.

If beer is not the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

Road into coffee plantation.
Hostel house at plantation. There is a pool and extensive grounds to explore.
Look at one of the several hundred acres of coffee growing.
The coffee beans on the plant. The red ones are ready for harvest. The beans are hand picked several times to insure that only the ripe ones are taken and the others are left to ripen.
Beans in a cleaning area where sticks, leaves and anything else not coffee is washed off and removed.
Machine that removes outer soft pulp, kind of like the olive meat on the seed.
Coffee beans being washed and deposited in tank after pulp removal.
Drying vats that have heated air pumped up through them so that a thin membrane can be dried and seperated from the beans.
Coffee beans that have been cleaned, dried and packaged prior to shipment to roasters and grinders and then on to the consumer.
Typical sugar cane field that was on both sides of the road in most of the long valley that we traveled through on our way to the border.
Hotel in Popayan. It says Hostal but it is indeed a hotel.
A look down the street in front of our hotel. Notice the buildings are all white and two stories.

The view from our room in the fine city of Ipiales. Notice the other hotels across the street. Rent by the hour I think.

'Ironside' series premiere: Will you keep watching Blair Underwood's return to TV?Add to Favorites | Ironside
Blair Underwood's new NBC series "Ironside" has finally premiered Wednesday night (Oct. 2).
The cop drama follows the titular character, Detective Robert Ironside, as he continues to work for the police after a traumatic shooting that left him in a wheelchair. Ironside constantly bucks authority and fights crime his own way, and in the pilot he ultimately chooses to investigate a case to punish those responsible for a woman's suicide despite the fact he had realized her death wasn't a murder.
It's Ironside himself who is the most interesting part of the show's pilot. It's eventually revealed that his former partner Gary Stanton (Brent Sexton) who hit Ironside with friendly fire and left him injured. Though it hasn't kept Ironside from the field, it's clear that he's dealing with some demons from that accident. Maybe that is what caused him to take such a dark turn and walk the line between being a risk-taking detective and someone who goes a step too far.
"Ironside" will likely follow a case-of-the-week format, but the show looks like it will end up being a great character study. If you're not on board with Ironside, then chances are this show isn't for you. But if you find him intriguing and want to hopefully understand more of the mystery of his personality, than "Ironside" should set itself apart from other similar police procedurals of its ilk.
"Ironside" airs Wednesdays on NBC at 10 p.m. ET.

The worsening European economy has all of the region's carmakers worried, but it seems as if Chrysler-Fiat chief executive Sergio Marchionne is the only one sounding the alarms.
Last week, he said the sovereign debt crisis is nearing "a point of no return" and warned that if the euro-zone's single currency collapsed, there would be a major disruption in world markets and European car sales would plummet to fewer than 10 million vehicles (from a projected 13 million this year). How bad would that be? Worse than during the 2009 recession in the U.S., when both General Motors and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy and car sales fell to 10.4 million units. Marchionne is loudly calling for government intervention to make it easier to close unprofitable factories and lay off workers.
Unfortunately for Marchionne, very few executives are lining up behind him. Germany's Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler aren't suffering from the kind of excess factory capacity in Europe that Fiat faces and thus have resisted the idea of a coordinated plan to prop up weaker competitors. And they've got strong growth in China and other parts of the world to offset Europe's woes. But even struggling French and American carmakers in the same boat as Fiat aren't jumping on Marchionne's political band wagon in Europe.
Carlos Ghosn, chief executive of Renault and Nissan Motor, said he expects "three to four more years of stagnation" in the European auto business, according to Reuters. "Is Europe going to be breaking?" Ghosn said. "I don't think so. I think the euro will stay. I think at the end of the day Europeans will find the solutions in order to hold Europe together."
And GM's chief executive, Dan Akerson, is focused on his own company's challenges, not some pan-European solution. "Why is the stock down?" Akerson told reporters before the company's annual stockholders meeting Tuesday. "Because there's uncertainty in the future. The most obvious is Europe." Akerson said, "We have to fix Europe or at least get it where it isn't draining the corporate coffers." He noted that GM has made progress by negotiating new labor agreements with its unions in Poland and England and that it is holding "constructive, professional" talks with its German unions and others.
So why is Marchionne going so far out on a limb by urging European policy makers to take action?
One reason, of course, is that it's in his blood. He's always been outspoken, and doesn't much care what others think. He's been griping publicly about Europe's broken fiscal policy for at least six months. He's also president of ACEA, a European auto lobby group, so he's expected to get out in front on the issue, said Gualberto Rainieri, a Marchionne confidante and Chrysler spokesman. "Others are standing in the shadow," Rainieri said. "But if he succeeds, they'll be behind him."
But Fiat also has the most at stake, and Marchionne's got to be worried about whether his legacy as a brilliant turnaround specialist will survive. More than other European car companies, Fiat sales are concentrated in Italy, where the economy is weak. And it sells mostly economy cars, which generate much smaller profit margins than the European luxury brands. So Fiat is vulnerable on two counts. Right now, a rebounding Chrysler is helping to offset Fiat's losses. But without Fiat, Chrysler, too, would likely not survive.
Government aid has certainly helped Marchionne in the past. Three years ago, Fiat was able to walk away with control of Chrysler after a bailout financed by the U.S. Treasury. Taxpayers lost $1.8 billion, but under Marchionne, Chrysler is now going strong, with sales up 33 percent so far this year, and expected profits of $1.5 billion in 2012.
If anything, says Rainieri, that experience should be a lesson to European policy makers. "We've seen this movie before."

About the ManufacturerTotally Bamboo was started several years ago by Tom Sullivan and Joanne Chen while they were trying to manufacture customized director chairs. While building the chairs they came across the idea of using bamboo, an extremely strong but also very light material. This gave them the idea to use bamboo for various household products and thus Totally Bamboo was born.
Totally Bamboo featured in Cook's Illustrated!
Now they produce items from cutting boards to salad bowls, their goal being to change the way the world uses bamboo. They strive to make quality products so that people will use bamboo more since it is a viable alternative to hardwood trees
Totally Bamboo's products come in two colors. The first being a light color which is the natural color of the bamboo when cut. The second color is darker and more of a honey color. This color is achieved by steaming the bamboo which brings out the natural sugars; the color is permanent and will not fade or wash out. There is also three kinds of grains. The first is vertical grain which is 1/4" wide and is taken from the side of the split pole. Second is flat grain which is 5/8" wide and is from the face of the pole. Lastly there is end grain which is the cross section of the pole. With all these choices, you are certain to find the Totally Bamboo product to meet your needs!

Neil[/quote:kosfgrd9] Same here, if we have the temps to allow it. The tenderest venison I ever had was from one of the biggest deer I ever got. I was able to hang that one for 6 days. And I hang 'em with the hide on. Don't know why some folks are in such a rush to get that hide off. It's an insulator just like a thermos bottle. Once you get the carcass cold, the hide helps keep it that way if you don't have access to a meat locker or controlled temp environment.
