Why the Cleveland Browns Need to Stay The Course Regardless of Investigation
With the 2015 NFL Draft quickly approaching, the distractions and noise surrounding...
By Joe Werner
Staff Writer
The first six starts of right-hander Corey Kluber's career have been a bit rough; granted, not nearly as rough as the Indians' last month of play, but his performance hasn't really made a lasting impression either.
With a potential 2013 rotation spot on the line – the team is in need of one, maybe two starting pitchers for next season, depending whether the organization picks up Roberto Hernandez's option – Kluber has lasted past the fifth inning just twice and has posted an unsightly 5.16 ERA in just under 30 innings of work.
Both his minor league track record and solid-average peripherals this year, albeit in a very limited sample size, suggest that better times could be on the horizon. However, his ultimate ceiling is as a solid, innings-eating backend starter, or as a reliever capable of carving out a Jon Rauch-type swing role.
Kluber, who was acquired in the three-team 2010 deadline deal involving the Cardinals and Padres, shows a straight, low- to mid-90s fastball, a hard cutter with just a tiny wrinkle, a solid-average curve and a fringy change that fades a bit. It is not an overpowering arsenal, but it is workable.
Historically, Kluber has always posted strong strikeout rates throughout his six-year minor league career, averaging just over one per inning. His command, however, has been touch-and-go, bouncing between slightly better than average and well below it. His true talent level tends to hover just below the league average rate.
The problem with that combination – solid strikeout totals and bigger walk rates – is big pitch counts early in games. Through his first five starts, he has averaged 18.3 pitches per inning. His average of 3.9 pitches per plate appearance would tie fellow Tribe hurler Ubaldo Jimenez as the 21st highest mark in baseball had he thrown enough innings.
Overall, his 5.16 ERA is a bit misleading.
His batting average on balls in play, or BABIP, is a fluky .365; more than 70 points above the league average. His homerun rate (1.52 HR/9) and strand rate (61.4 percent), both have plenty of room for regression. So there is quite a bit of improvement there, just as a result of his numbers beginning to normalize.
If he can maintain at least a 2-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio – which is feasible considering his minor league track record as an older pitching prospect – Kluber could be capable of posting an ERA in the 4.40-range next season, and should be worth between 1.5 and 2.0 wins above replacement.

Brazing is a joining process whereby a filler metal or alloy is heated to melting temperature above - or, by the traditional definition in the United States, above - and distributed between two or more close-fitting parts by capillary action. At its liquid temperature, the molten filler metal and flux interacts with a thin layer of the base metal, cooling to form a strong, sealed joint. By definition the melting temperature of the braze alloy is lower (sometimes substantially) than the melting temperature of the materials being joined. The brazed joint becomes a sandwich of different layers, each metallurgically linked to the adjacent layers.
Common brazements are about 1/3 as strong as the parent materials due either to the inherent lower yield strength of the braze alloy or to the low fracture toughness of intermetallic components. To create high-strength brazes, a brazement can be annealed to homogenize the grain structure and composition (by diffusion) with that of the parent material .
Brazing has historically been defined in many ways and is often confused with soldering. A defining characteristic is that the braze melts while the material(s) being joined do not. The distinction between brazing and soldering is largely semantic; brazing occurs at a higher temperature than soldering. One definition of brazing is "joining of two materials using a third, dissimilar material at higher temperatures than soldering." While the exact temperature difference between brazing and soldering is often disputed, there are definite metallurgical reasons to use the 840°F figure. This is the official American Welding Society definition.
Braze alloy is often used to define an alloy that flows in thin joints while braze filler metal is used for thicker joints and for gap filling.
The furnace brazing method is accomplished by assembling the material to be brazed and the filler metal in the appropriate configurations and then placing the assembly in a furnace where it is heated uniformly. Furnace brazing is practical when the brazing material can be in contact with the joint, and the part can survive uniform heating. This process is generally used for applications that need high volume production. When it is an applicable process, it offers the benefits of a controlled heat cycle, no post braze cleaning, and no skilled labor needed. The type of furnace used depends on whether batch or continuous operation is desired and can be designed to have a protective atmosphere to eliminate the need of protective flux in the filler metal. The type of atmosphere depends on the filler metal and the material being brazed. Common atmospheres used include hydrogen based and vacuum. In a hydrogen atmosphere, the gas cleans braze components and eliminates the need for flux. It is often mixed with inert gasses such as nitrogen, argon, or helium to lower the overall percentage of hydrogen in the furnace atmosphere. When a vacuum furnace is used, heat treating processes can be combined with the brazing process. Vacuum furnaces typically require a larger capital investment but also produce products of typically higher quality.
Brazing is widely used in the tool industry to fasten hardmetal (carbide, ceramics, cermet, and similar) tips to tools such as saw blades. "Pretinning" is often done: the braze alloy is melted onto the hardmetal tip, which is placed next to the steel and remelted. Pretinning gets around the problem that hardmetals are hard to wet.
Brazed hardmetal joints are typically two thousandths to seven thousandths of an inch thick. The braze alloy joins the materials and compensates for the difference in their expansion rates. In addition it provides a cushion between the hard carbide tip and the hard steel which softens impact and prevents tip loss and damage, much as the suspension on a vehicle helps prevent damage to both the tires and the vehicle. Finally the braze alloy joins the other two materials to create a composite structure, much as layers of wood and glue create plywood.
The standard for braze joint strength in many industries is a joint that is stronger than either base material, so that when under stress, one or other of the base materials fails before the joint fails.
One special silver brazing method is called Pinbrazing or Pin Brazing. It has been developed especially for connecting cables to railway track or for cathodic protection installations.
The method uses a silver and flux containing brazing pin which is melted down in the eye of a cable lug. The equipments are normally powered from batteries.
Braze welding has many advantages over fusion welding. It allows you to join dissimilar metals, to minimize heat distortion, and to reduce extensive pre- heating. Another side effect of braze welding is the elimination of stored-up stresses that are often present in fusion welding. This is extremely important in the repair of large castings. The disadvantages are the loss of strength when subjected to high temperatures and the inability to withstand high stresses.
The equipment needed for braze welding is basically identical to the equipment used in brazing. Since braze welding usually requires more heat than brazing, an oxyacetylene or oxy-mapp torch is recommended.
'Braze welding' is also used to mean the joining of plated parts to another material. Carbide, cermet and ceramic tips are plated and then joined to steel to make tipped band saws. The plating acts as a braze alloy.
Vacuum brazing is often conducted in a furnace; this means that several joints can be made at once because the whole workpiece reaches the brazing temperature. The heat is transferred using radiation, as many other methods cannot be used in a vacuum.
In order to attain the highest strengths for brazed joints, parts must be closely fitted and the base metals must be exceptionally clean and free of oxides. For capillary action to be effective joint clearances of 50 to 150 µm (0.002 to 0.006 inch) are recommended. In braze-welding, where a thick bead is deposited, tolerances may be relaxed to 0.5 mm (0.020 inch). Cleaning of surfaces can be done in several ways. Whichever method is selected, it is vitally important to remove all grease, oils, and paint. For custom jobs and part work, this can often be done with fine sand paper or steel wool. In pure brazing (not braze welding), it is vitally important to use sufficiently fine abrasive. Coarse abrasive can lead to deep scoring that interferes with capillary action and final bond strength. Residual particulates from sanding should be thoroughly cleaned from pieces. In assembly line work, a "pickling bath" is often used to dissolve oxides chemically. Diluted sulfuric acid is often used. Pickling is also often employed on metals like aluminum that are particularly prone to oxidation.
Using an abrasive to clean oil or grease physically removes some of it just as any wiping would. However to get the parts clean it is necessary to use a saponifier that will change the oils and greases to soap. Oven cleaners and detergents work well.
The flux chars and adheres to the workpiece when it is used up and / or overheated. Warm flux can be extremely tenacious. Once the flux has cooled to room temperature it is much easier to remove. The goal is to use enough flux and a proper heating cycle so that the flux is not all used up.
The flux does not interact with the materials being brazed but serves as a barrier and oxygen interceptor. It often has some cleaning properties including the ability to remove oxides but should not be counted on for this.
When hot quenching remember that you are in effect, heat treating the materials. Quenching will change material properties.
Many types of brazing flux contain toxic chemicals, sometimes very toxic. Silver brazing flux often contains Cadmium, which can cause very fast onset of metal fume fever (within minutes in extreme cases), especially if brazing fumes are inhaled due to inadequate ventilation. Due care must be taken with these materials to protect persons working, and also the environment.
However Titanium can be prepared to be successfully brazed if the tendency for oxidation is allowed for. If the material is deoxidized and protected by plating, vacuum or other means then you have a chemically active surface that can make for very strong joints. This is not true with unprepared Titanium and the braze joint is a chemical join that is not dependent on the metal solubility.
Brazing filler material is commonly available as flux-coated rods, very similar to stick-welding electrodes. Typical sizes are 3 mm (1/8") diameter. Some widely available filler materials are:
Nb Flux coating colours are manufacturer specific and do not indicate specific alloy types.
Although there is a popular belief that brazing is an inferior substitute for welding, it has advantages over welding in many situations. For example, brazing brass has a strength and hardness near that of mild steel and is much more corrosion-resistant. In some applications, brazing is highly preferred. For example, silver brazing is the customary method of joining high-reliability, controlled-strength corrosion-resistant piping such as a nuclear submarine's seawater coolant pipes. Silver brazed parts can also be precisely machined after joining, to hide the presence of the joint to all but the most discerning observers, whereas it is nearly impossible to machine welds having any residual slag present and still hide joints.
An example of this is the silver brazing of copper-nickel alloys, where even moderate stress in the base material causes intergranular penetration by molten filler material during brazing, resulting in cracking at the joint.
Any flux residues left after brazing (inside or out) must be thoroughly removed; otherwise, severe corrosion may eventually occur.
Alternatives to brazing include the use of a connector that does not require heat similar to Lokring connectors used by most of the auto makers and larger appliance manufacturers

Remaking projects aren't only my favorite pastime, but they're also my career, the title of my book, and the subject matter of this very blog that you're reading. So when our friends at The Naked Grape Wine asked me to participate in the RE:MAKE event put on by Brit + Co. in San Francisco, I grabbed my scissors and fashioned the words "Count me in!!" out of the closest piece of scrap paper.
I'll be there on October 4th and 5th representing TerraCycle at The Naked Grape Wine station where you can come learn about how this wine is made and why their new 3 liter box wine package is fully recyclable from bag to box. On site, we'll even be upcycling The Naked Grape 3 liter wine boxes into business card holders that participants can make and take with them. The rest of the scraps will be transformed into a sign that is being custom made just for this event. If you're on the west coast, sign up and RE:MAKE with us! It's budget friendly, too, because admission on Saturday is free.
If you can't RE:MAKE it there, you can still remake it on your own. Follow along with the template and the step-by-step below to create your own business card holder from that wine box or other thin cardboard scrap. Let's get down to business.

Let's face it- bigger isn't always better. When you're out on a hiking trail or a fishing trip, you don't usually want to be lugging around a giant Bowie knife. And a big skinning knife is really only useful when, well, you're skinning something. If you're in one of these situations, you need a durable, compact knife. Well, you'll find just what you're looking for with a folding knife! Here are a few reasons why folding knives are perfect for a lot of outdoor activities.
The great thing about folding knives is that they are a lot easier to carry and transport than regular knives. Why? They are so compact! Even the largest folding knife usually only reaches six to nine inches in length, and when they are folded they are about half that size. This means they take up less room in backpacks and pockets, leaving you more room for essentials.
Because they are so compact, folding knives are naturally durable. Most folding knives feature lockback designs, which secures the blade in place when open. Since the blade is smaller than most hunting knives there is less chance of it chipping. And a high-quality folding knife is made of the same stainless steel that hunting knives are.
Most folding knives are less expensive than larger hunting and fishing knives. You can get a number of different styles of folding knife for the same price as one large hunting knife!
The next time you need an all-purpose knife for basic camping, hiking and fishing purposes, look no further than a folding knife. You'll be glad you did.

Pickett was a popular cadet at West Point, charming and dapper, but a class clown, demonstrating his aversion to intellectual pursuits and hard work by graduating last (a position nicknamed the "goat") of 59 students in his 1846 class. Usually, such performance is a ticket to an obscure posting and a dead-end career, but he, just as George Custer did later, had the fortune to graduate just after a war broke out and the army had a sudden need for officers. He was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the U.S. 8th Infantry Regiment and almost immediately became engaged in the Mexican-American War. He gained national recognition when he was the first to climb the parapet during the Battle of Chapultepec, retrieving an American flag from his wounded colleague, future Confederate general James Longstreet, and unfurling it over the fortress while under fire. He received a brevet promotion to captain for his exploit. After the war, while serving on the Texas frontier, he was promoted to first lieutenant in 1849 and to captain, in the 9th U.S. Infantry, in March 1855.
In January 1851, Pickett married Sally Harrison Steward Minge, the daughter of Dr. John Minge of Virginia, the great-great-grandniece of President William Henry Harrison, and the great-great-granddaughter of Benjamin Harrison, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence. She died during childbirth that November, immediately following an Indian raid at Fort Gates, Texas.
Captain Pickett next served in the Washington Territory. In 1856 he commanded the construction of Fort Bellingham on Bellingham Bay in what is today the city of Bellingham, Washington. He also built a frame home that year and it still stands today, the oldest house in Bellingham. At Fort Bellingham, Pickett married a Native American woman of the Haida tribe, Morning Mist, who gave birth to a son, James Tilton Pickett (1857-1889); Morning Mist died a few years later. "Jimmy" Pickett made a name for himself as a newspaper artist in his short life.
In 1859, Pickett occupied San Juan Island, thus becoming involved in a territorial dispute with Great Britain that has been nicknamed the Pig War (because it was instigated in response to an American farmer who had killed a pig belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company). While commanding a garrison of only 68 men, he stood up to a British force of three warships and a thousand men. His presence, and British orders that called for no confrontations, prevented their landing. He was quoted as saying defiantly, "We'll make a Bunker Hill of it." Once again the young officer was in the national limelight. President James Buchanan dispatched Lieutenant General Winfield Scott to negotiate a settlement between the parties.
Pickett made a colorful general. He rode a sleek black charger, "Old Black", wearing a small blue cap, with buffed gloves over the sleeves of an immaculately tailored uniform that had a double row of gold buttons on the coat and shiny gold spurs on his highly polished boots. He held an elegant riding crop whether mounted or walking. His mustache drooped gracefully beyond the corners of his mouth and then turned upward at the ends. His hair was the talk of the Army: "long ringlets flowed loosely over his shoulders, trimmed and highly perfumed, his beard likewise was curling and giving up the scent of Araby.
Pickett's first combat command was during the Peninsula Campaign, leading a brigade that was nicknamed the Gamecocks. (The brigade would eventually be led by Richard B. Garnett in Pickett's Charge.) They performed well at Williamsburg, Seven Pines and Gaines' Mill. At Gaines' Mill, Pickett was knocked off his horse by a bullet in the shoulder, and although he made an enormous fuss that he was mortally wounded, a staff officer examined the wound and rode away, stating that he was "perfectly able to take care of himself." However, Pickett was out of action for three months on medical leave and his arm would remain stiff for at least a year.
When he returned to the Army in September 1862, Pickett was given command of a two-brigade division in the corps commanded by his old colleague from Mexico, Maj. Gen. James Longstreet, and was promoted to major general on October 10. His division would not see serious combat until the Gettysburg Campaign the following summer. At the Battle of Fredericksburg in December, they were lightly engaged, with no fatalities. Longstreet's entire corps was absent from the May 1863 Battle of Chancellorsville, detached on the Suffolk Campaign.
Before the Gettysburg Campaign, Pickett fell in love with a Virginia teenager, LaSalle "Sallie" Corbell (1843–1931), commuting back and forth from his duties in Suffolk to be with her. Although Sallie would later insist that she met him in 1852 (at age 9), she did not marry the 38-year-old widower until November 13 1863.
Following a two-hour artillery barrage that was meant to soften up the Union defenses, the three divisions stepped off across open fields almost a mile from Cemetery Ridge. Pickett inspired his men by shouting, "Up, Men, and to your posts! Don't forget today that you are from Old Virginia. Pickett's division, with the brigades of Brig. Gens. Lewis A. Armistead, Richard B. Garnett, and James L. Kemper, was on the right flank of the assault. It received punishing artillery fire on its flank and then volleys of infantry rifle fire as it approached its objective. Armistead's brigade made the farthest progress through the Union lines. Armistead was mortally wounded, falling near "The Angle" at what is now considered the "High Water Mark of the Confederacy". But neither of the other two divisions made comparable progress across the fields and Armistead's success was not reinforced.
Pickett's Charge was a bloodbath. While the Union lost about 1,500 killed and wounded, the Confederate casualty rate was over 50%. Pickett's three brigade commanders and all thirteen of his regimental commanders were casualties. Kemper was wounded and Garnett and Armistead did not survive. Trimble and Pettigrew were the most senior casualties, the former losing a leg and the latter wounded in the hand and dying on the retreat to Virginia. Pickett himself has received some historical criticism for surviving the battle personally unscathed, but his position well to the rear of his troops (probably at the Codori farm on the Emmitsburg Road) was command doctrine at the time for division commanders.
As soldiers straggled back to the Confederate lines along Seminary Ridge, Lee feared a Union counteroffensive and tried to rally his center, telling returning soldiers that the failure was "all my fault." Pickett was inconsolable for the rest of the day and never forgave Lee for ordering the charge. When Lee told Pickett to rally his division for the defense, Pickett allegedly replied, "General Lee, I have no division now." Pickett's official report for the battle has never been found. It is rumored that Gen. Lee rejected it for its bitter negativity and demanded that it be rewritten, never filing an updated version.
To his dying day, Pickett mourned the great loss of his men. After the war, it is said that he met once with General Lee in a meeting described as "icy." John Singleton Mosby seems to be the only witness to support this claim of coldness between Lee and Pickett. Others were present and are on record denying such an exchange. Mosby related that afterward Pickett said bitterly, "That man destroyed my division." Most historians find this encounter less than likely, especially as Pickett was on record elsewhere as having said, after being asked why Pickett's Charge failed, that "I've always thought the Yankees had something to do with it.
A legend told by Pickett's widow stated that when the Union Army marched into Richmond, she received a surprise visitor. He acted graciously and inquired whether he had found the Pickett house. Abraham Lincoln himself had come to determine the fate of an old acquaintance before the war, and Sallie, astonished, admitted she was his wife and held out her infant for the president to cradle. Lincoln historian Gerald J. Prokopowicz has called this story a "fantasy".
Pickett had difficulty seeking amnesty after the Civil War. This was a problem shared by other former Confederate officers who had been West Point graduates and had resigned their commissions at the start of the war. Former Union officers, including Ulysses S. Grant, supported pardoning Pickett, but it was not until one year prior to his death that George Pickett received a full pardon by Act of Congress (June 23 1874).
Pickett died in Norfolk and is buried in Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery.
Decades after Pickett's death, his widow Sallie became a well-known writer and speaker on "her Soldier," eventually leading to the creation of an idealized Pickett who was the perfect Southern gentleman and soldier. A considerable amount of controversy attends Sallie Pickett's lionizing of her husband. Two books published posthumously in her husband's name, The Heart of a Soldier, As Revealed in the Intimate Letters of Gen'l George E. Pickett (published in 1913) and Soldier of the South: General Pickett's War Letters to His Wife (1928), have been described as "unreliable works that were fictionalized by Pickett's wife. (Sallie was also the author, under her own name, of Pickett and His Men, published in 1913.) As a result, General Pickett has become a figure partially obscured by "Lost Cause" mythology.
Pickett today is widely perceived as being a tragic hero of sorts—a flamboyant officer who wanted to lead his troops into a glorious battle, but always missed the opportunity—until the disastrous charge at Gettysburg. Douglas Southall Freeman's works (especially Lee's Lieutenants), as well as Michael Shaara's novel The Killer Angels (1975) (and Gettysburg (1993), the film adaptation in which he is portrayed by Stephen Lang) have greatly enhanced this reputation in popular culture.
Pickett's grave is marked by an elaborate memorial in Hollywood Cemetery. Commissioned in 1875 by the Pickett Division Association, a group of veterans from his division, it was originally intended to be placed at Gettysburg National Military Park at the "High Water Mark" of Pickett's Charge, but was built in Richmond when the U.S. War Department refused permission for the battlefield placement. A monument to Pickett also stands in the American Camp on San Juan Island, Washington, erected by the Washington University Historical Society, October 21 1904.
Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Virginia, is named in his honor. Originally a site for the Civilian Conservation Corps, it was an active U.S. Army training facility in World War II and is currently occupied by the Virginia National Guard.

A lively audience of students and faculty participated in an intense debate on Oct. 24 in the Faculty Lounge of Webb Hall, during "An Evening in Politics: Gender in Public Policies." Nora Nagels, a postdoctoral scholar at the Université de Montréal, addressed the issue of gender and social policies in Latin America. Nagels said part of the struggle of bringing sound social policies, such as education and health in the region is the lack of sensitivity towards the gender agenda.
Nagels illustrated this idea with the way in which a program, Conditional Cash Transfers (or CCTS) is implemented in Bolivia and Peru. Under this scheme, mothers and children receive financial assistance in the form of cash from their respective governments on the condition that expecting mothers attend health checkups and follow up visits, and children do not drop out of school.
Nagels agreed that although these are well-intended programs, they restrict women to their specific role as mothers, neglecting other potential opportunities to help them close an existing gender gap in the region that tend to favor men in terms of economic and professional opportunities.
Martín Mendoza-Botelho, assistant professor of political science, moderated the debate.
The following night, Nagels participated in the "Pizza and Politics Night" event, where her Latin American perspective was contrasted to that of the United States, presented by Political Science Professor Nicole Krassas. While Latin America uses a much more social model, the United States uses a more liberal and market-oriented approach to address social issues. In both cases, women tend to be relegated to particular roles. As part of this event, Eastern students Erin Drouin and Stephanie Conway served as discussants, providing a fresh perspective from their generational point of view.
Part of the discussion centered on the idea that although women have made enormous progress narrowing the gender gap, states around the world still neglect to take a much more balanced gender perspective for both men and women. The Department of Political Science, Geography and Philosophy, the Program of Latin American Studies and the Program on Women's and Gender Studies co-sponsored both events.

With the historic backdrop of Wren's Royal Naval College and the sweeping Thames, it's hard to imagine a more visually splendid setting for the Olympic equestrian events than Greenwich Park. Local campaign group NOGOE (No to Greenwich Olympic Equestrian Events), as you've probably guessed by their moniker, beg to differ.
Over the weekend, protesters gathered in the park to show their indignation at the choice of venue. Despite the rain, an estimated 500 plucky 'park lovers' gathered outside Queen's House to raise awareness for the potential harm to the local area. Turnout was nowhere near commensurate with the hoped-for 'ring around the park', but sizeable enough to cause a bit of noise and help spread the word.
We have to say, though, that some of the group's claims do look a little over-egged, some would say NIMBYish, from an outsider's point of view. Despite assurances that no trees will be cut down, and the well documented regenerative properties of grass, the group assert that the events will 'cause damage' to the space. What they describe as their 'small urban park' actually has a perimeter in excess of two miles. True, park closures will occur, but the children's playground and flower garden will remain open throughout (and there's always the massive open space of Blackheath at the top of the hill). Finally, claims that local businesses will suffer seem a little bizarre, given the legions of well-heeled horsey types who'll be hanging around.
As always, 853 blog provides a well considered, balanced view of the ongoing debate.

Intel is a classic example. They have long been developing memory and flash technology, but mass storage has not been their forte. Now, they are planning to not only continue the development of their own SSD units, but do such in a fiercely competitive manner as to take on Samsung, BiTMICRO and others.
The greatest benefit to consumers will be lowered prices, of course. According to Samsung, prices on SSDs are dropping by 40% per year and Intels involvement in the market will only contribute towards this trend. The company is looking to introduce newer MLC-based SSD drives that will have capacities starting at 80GB and up to 160GB, putting them completely on-par with many desktop units. I for one look forward to see what Intel has in store.

What is a Job Analysis?
A job analysis determines the duties and tasks performed for a given job.

Sun Stops Solaris Express Community Edition
Sun will discontinue production of Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) by the end of October. A replacement is being planned.
SXCE is a binary version of the latest editions of the free operating system made especially for developers. In a bi-weekly release rhythm, Sun produced packages and components, not yet picked up by the source code of the official distro, in the form of an ISO image. This enabled the fast and uncomplicated testing and use of packages by developers, albeit without the support of Sun. This service will end in October writes Sun developer Glynn Foster on the OpenSolaris forum.
In future the latest Solaris packages will be made available as Image Packaging Systems (IPS). For now, this will take place in tandem with the SVR4 packages, but these too are to be discontinued, adds Foster. He goes on to promise community support during the changeover and updated information regarding the transition schedule as soon as it becomes available.

Larner Winery & Vineyard Description
Larner Vineyard is a small, family-run vineyard located at the heart of the best grape-growing region in Santa Barbara: Ballard Canyon in the Santa Ynez Valley. Founded by Stevan and Christine Larner in 1997, the property is managed today by a second generation of Larners. Michael and his wife Christina Larner live onsite and Monica Larner returns regularly from her adopted home, Italy. The 134-acre ranch is planted to 34 acres of vine, including Rhône varieties Syrah, Grenache. Mourvedre and Viognier. As a small tribute to Italy, the Larners also have one block of Malvasia Bianca.
The Larner family is proud to announce the following exciting news... We are in the final stages of planning for a new winery and tasting room to complete our dream of producing estate Larner wines to be sold at our very own General Store.

We have a woman in our church who has made wedding cakes for years, and wants to know if a brick oven as the one we are planning would suffice in the baking of cakes.
Anyone out there have any practical experience making a cake in a bick oven?
Re: cakes?
What heat would you need the oven to be at to bake a wedding cake?
I baked a chocolate cake recently at 180 C (356 F) for a bit over an hour. And in fact I prefer using the brick oven for baking - the heat seems to be more constant (especially for the lower temps) than my old gas oven in the kitchen. You can fit more cakes in the brick oven at the same time, too (if that is an issue).
Once you've gained some experience on how your oven heats and cools, it should be ideal for baking cakes - or anything else for that matter. I know I'm using my oven more for baking than for Pizzas - when I built it I thought it would be the other way round!

Definitely would work well...you have to know your oven...understand where the heat comes from as the air temperature and surface temperature don't match...as Frances said with experience you can do anything you want in a brick oven...pictured is a bundt cake with caramel icing we did in our oven
Re: cakes?
Thanks for the replies. We'll have to do some experimenting once we get things up and running.

Re: cakes?
Isnt there a rule against advertising here,, can you delete this guy, he seems to be showing up all over....
Re: cakes?
Yum! Arriving very belatedly to this thread, but, Dutch, would you share the recipe -- or the temp and time? Did you make a caramel and then pour it over the finished cake after it was out of the pan and cooled? Thanks in advance. Kathy
