Cambria County Man Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison for Receiving, Possessing Child Porn
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - A resident of South Fork, Pa., has been sentenced in federal court to 100 months in prison and fifteen years supervised release on his conviction of receipt and possessing child pornography, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson imposed the sentence on Brian K. Dagostino, II, 27.
According to information presented to the court, on or about July 4, 2008, and Aug. 22, 2008, Dagostino knowingly received visual depictions and possessed videos as computer graphic files containing images of child pornography, which had been shipped and transported in interstate or foreign commerce by means of a computer.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie L. Haines prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Hickton commended the Pennsylvania State Police Area III Computer Crimes Task Force, with the assistance of Ferguson Township Police Department, for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Dagostino.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

2/16/14 5pm CST Join Tony and Debra on The Darker Side of the Paranormal radio show for a 2 hour interview with Host Sean Austin. This should be a GREAT show.
11/25/13 New online articles that talks about the Sallie House in Atchison are now linked from our media page. Check them out here
11/15/13 Since the airing of Paranormal Witness we have had an out pouring of support and an unbelievable influx of emails, posts, questions, comments and requests. We certainly appreciate all personal communication and we ask for your patience as we try to answer each one of them in a timely manner.
11/13/13 Wednesday 8pm CST - Paranormal Witness aired, The Harpy, AKA the Sallie House story on the SyFy channel. The show did a good job of presenting more of Tony's experience with the demonic entity and that the house is extremely dangerous.
10/25/13 Friday 7:30-10pm Tony and Debra had a great time at one of Kansas City's newest business'the GOODLUCK! A Kansas City Conjure Shop locatedin the historic Westport area. 4 hours went by so fast.
Keep in mind After
much debate and consideration the audio evidence CD of
Tony's last visit to the house is being released. This audio
is from the most brutal attack Tony has endured by an unseen
force. Read more about the CD here.
This website continues to be facilitated by Renae Leiker and Tony and Debra Pickman. It is dedicated solely to the haunting activities of the Sallie House during the time in which the Pickmans rented it, as well as the investigation they, and others have done over the years.
The many experiences of the Pickmans caught the attention of media and investigators alike and most everyone who has walked through the front door has had an experience to tell about.
This link will give you a general overview of this haunting along with some of the experiences people have had within this house. Over the course of approximately 20 years, there have been many who have explored and investigated the events of this haunting in an attempt to effectively explain what has often seemed to be unexplainable. Other than the Pickmans, Renae Leiker is the most experienced investigator in activity, EVP and evidence regarding this location.
Unfortunately however, there are others who profess and portray themselves as knowledgeable and experienced investigators who currently and knowingly jeopardize the safety of themselves and many other individuals with their continued haphazard activities within the house. They involve themselves only for the popularity, and the money they can make off the innocent and under-informed. They are dangerous entertainers. Beware!
The link below will provide you with basic history of the house as it has been presented in various forms of media and the goals of those involved with presenting evidence. They all mean well but remember that creative liberty can alter the factual representation of any set of events.
Within the website itself you will find original documents, transcribed articles, links to the investigations of others, YouTube links, an archive of radios shows regarding the house, and evidence galleries to allow you the closest possible look into this case. For the best travel experience use the navigation menu to the upper left.
Sallie House haunting is in a class by itself. There have been
full-bodied apparitions and objects flying through the air.
Items have moved, been misplaced or lost only to reappear or
show up later or at another location. Phantom furniture has been
heard along with thumps, thuds, knocks, scratching, and the
sounds of animals and disembodied human voices. Although some
have been heard with the naked ear, there have been an amazing
amount of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) captured, further
depicting the voices of men, women and children. For more information about the house click
Multitudes of paranormal investigators and individuals have entered this house only to leave with extraordinary experiences. This link will provide you with a time line structured set of details depicting those investigations and experiences. You will find available 1st hand accounts of paranormal experiences, many historical references, documented and detailed research, EVP, video and photographic evidence.

Work-Study is an opportunity to for on-campus employment while gaining valuable experience working closely with faculty and staff at the university level. Most students find work-study to be a convenient way to earn money as campus employers understand the scheduling needs of a college student. Students often list their work-study experience on their resumes and have the opportunity to use their supervisor's as a reference. Keep in mind that all work-study earnings can be excluded from your income on your next year's FAFSA.
Work-Study is need based, so you must have need and have been awarded work-study on your financial aid award notification in order to be eligible. Work-study comes from either federal or state funding depending on residency. Work-study funds are earned and there is no option of requesting the remaining work-study amount that is not earned. Students may work beginning the first day of the semester to the last day of the semester. Students are not allowed to work on University holidays. We do not employ work-study students over the summer. Students not eligible for work-study may find on campus employment that is not considered part of a financial aid package.

Statement of Rick Day, Senior Vice President for Operations, Air Traffic Organization
Before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Subcommittee on Aviation on Nextgen: Area Navigation (RNAV)/Required Navigation Performance (RNP)
Chairman Costello, Congressman Petri, and Members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for inviting me here today to discuss the Federal Aviation Administration's program for area navigation (RNAV) and required navigation performance (RNP) air traffic control routes. RNAV/RNP is a building block for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), and has already shown great promise in enhancing safety and efficiency in the National Airspace System (NAS).
Through NextGen, the FAA is addressing the impact of air traffic growth by increasing NAS capacity and efficiency while simultaneously improving safety, reducing environmental impacts, and increasing user access to the NAS. To achieve its NextGen goals, the FAA is implementing new Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) routes and procedures that leverage emerging technologies and aircraft navigation capabilities.
What is Performance-Based Navigation?
PBN is a framework for defining performance requirements in "navigation specifications," that is, to specify that the avionics can function in a particular way or ways, that the pilot is appropriately trained and follows certain procedures in the cockpit. PBN can be applied to an air traffic route, instrument procedure, or defined airspace. PBN provides a basis for the design and implementation of automated flight paths as well as for airspace design and obstacle clearance. Once the required performance level is established, the aircraft's own capability determines whether it can safely achieve the specified performance and qualify for the operation.
What Is RNAV?
Prior to satellite navigation capabilities, i.e. global positioning systems or GPS, aircraft could only navigate primarily by ground-based navigation aids, such as VHF Omni-directional Range (VOR) equipment. This limited the routes that aircraft could take, depending on the location and position of those ground-based aids, and necessarily involved certain inefficiencies during flight, e.g., instead of flying a direct route, an aircraft might have to take a more circuitous route in order to navigate from ground-based point to ground-based point.
Now, with advances in technology, we are able to take advantage of space-based navigation sources that provide for additional navigational coverage. An aircraft using RNAV can fly on any desired flight path within the coverage of ground- or space-based navigational aids, within the limits of the capability of the systems onboard the aircraft, or a combination of both capabilities. As such, RNAV aircraft have better access and flexibility for point-to-point operations. This leads to the potential for flights to reduce the miles flown, save fuel, and enhance efficiency.
RNAV also helps solve operational issues. For example, an RNAV approach may be available in areas where we cannot install or maintain a ground-based navigational aid, such as in Alaska, where the terrain either does not permit the ability to install the navigational aid or the weather conditions preclude us from being able to maintain the operability of the navigational aid.
What Is RNP?
RNP is RNAV with the addition of an onboard performance monitoring and alerting capability. A defining characteristic of RNP operations is the ability of the aircraft navigation system to monitor the navigation performance it achieves and inform the crew if the requirement is not met during a flight operation. This onboard monitoring and alerting capability enhances the pilot's situational awareness and can enable reduced obstacle clearance or closer route conformance without intervention by air traffic control.
Certain RNP operations require advanced features of the onboard navigation function and approved training and crew procedures. These operations must receive approvals known as Special Aircraft and Aircrew Authorization Required (SAAAR), similar to approvals required for operations to conduct Instrument Landing System Category II and III approaches. In addition to certified avionics, the flight crew must be trained and authorized to fly these complex procedures.
The attached chart shows how RNAV and RNP have improved the navigational process. See Figure 1 below. As you can see, using the current ground navaids, the aircraft has to fly from beacon to beacon, often taking an inefficient route in order to pick up the signals at the appropriate place in the air. The dotted boxes indicate the expanse of the area in the sky that the aircraft could be in as it picks up those ground-based signals. This requires our air traffic control to create larger areas of separation between aircraft, in order to maintain safety. In the RNAV and RNP routing, however, the dotted areas are far smaller, indicating that the aircraft can fly a much more precise route in the air. Additionally, the graphic illustrates the RNP "radius to turn" ability, essentially indicating how RNP enables the aircraft to make much tighter, more precise turns in the air. This is particularly useful in areas where the airspace is congested and there are multiple busy airports. The ability of the aircraft to use these "radius to turn" procedures means air traffic is easier to "deconflict," or route in a manner that avoids other air traffic paths.
Figure 1. Performance-Based Navigation: RNAV/RNP
RNAV and RNP capabilities facilitate more efficient design of airspace and procedures which collectively result in improved safety, access, capacity, predictability, and operational efficiency, as well as reduced environmental impacts. Specifically, improved access and flexibility for point-to-point operations help enhance reliability and reduce delays by defining more precise terminal area procedures. They also can reduce emissions and fuel consumption.
RNAV procedures can provide benefits in all phases of flight, including departure, en route, arrival, approach, and transitional airspace. For example, Standard Terminal Arrivals (STARs) can:
- Increase predictability of operations
- Reduce controller/aircraft communications
- Reduce fuel burn with more continuous vertical descents
- Reduce miles flown in Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) airspace
- Reduce interaction between dependent flows in airspace shared for adjacent airport operations.
How are RNAV/RNP Procedures Created?
RNAV/RNP procedures have been developed by the FAA, with the support of industry and MITRE, in a complex, multi-layered process. For Terminal RNAV procedures (those RNAV procedures in the airspace into an airport terminal environment), for example, there is an 18-step implementation process. See Figure 2 below.
Figure 2. 18-Step Guidelines for Terminal RNAV Procedure Implementation
Several offices within the FAA play essential roles in the development of these procedures. Their various duties are outlined below:
Air Traffic Organization:
RNAV/RNP Group
- Serves as the lead office for implementation and integration of RNAV and RNP routes and procedures into the air traffic environment
- Coordinates policy and implementation activities with industry and within FAA
- Provides guidance for and expedites the development of PBN criteria and standards and implements airspace and procedure improvements
- Collaborates with the U.S. and international aviation communities – government and industry – as a leader in developing PBN concepts, technical standards, operator requirements, and implementation processes to enhance safety, increase capacity, improve efficiency, and reduce the environmental impact of aviation
- Provides technical and operational guidance within FAA. This group also develops and maintains processes and tools to aid the field with RNAV/RNP procedure design
Aviation System Standards
- Oversees the standard development, evaluation, and certification of airspace systems, procedures, and equipment
- Designs and develops instrument flight procedures (IFPs), publishes aeronautical charts and digital products for air carrier and general aviation pilots for use throughout the United States and around the world
- Provides aircraft maintenance and engineering services, operates a fleet of flight inspection aircraft for airborne evaluation of IFPs and electronic navigational signals
Field Facilities
- Responsible for procedure design evaluations for airspace and procedures usage, letters of agreement, video map updates, automation coding and controller familiarization and training in accordance with the 18-step RNAV implementation process
- Responsible for designing and using the procedures operationally
Aviation Safety:
Flight Standards Service
- Develops and establishes criteria for civil and military terminal instrument procedures
- Develops rules, standards, policies, and criteria governing the operational aspects of en route, terminal, and instrument flight procedures (except air traffic control procedures)
- Performs operational evaluations, including flight simulation, flight simulator, and in-flight testing of standards and criteria
- Assesses the impact on safety and provides radar separation analysis tools
- Oversees all of flight inspection policy and all instrument flight procedure development
Aircraft Certification
- Administers safety standards governing the design, production, and airworthiness of civil aeronautical products, such as the avionics required for RNAV/RNP
- Oversees design, production, and airworthiness certification programs to ensure compliance with prescribed safety standards
- Provides a safety performance management system to ensure continued operational safety of aircraft
- Works with aviation authorities, manufacturers, and other stakeholders to help them successfully improve the safety of the international air transportation system
Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service
- Establishes safety standards and provides independent oversight of the Air Traffic Organization – the provider of air traffic services in the United States
- Accomplishes safety oversight in a variety of ways including:
- Developing and amending regulations and guidance for regulatory oversight and credentialing functions
- Participating in the development and harmonization of air traffic control international standards
- Providing regulatory oversight of the Air Traffic Organization Safety Management System
What Is the Status of RNAV/RNP?
Currently, we have 159 RNAV routes and 270 RNAV arrival and departure procedures implemented into the NAS and 163 RNP SAAAR approach procedures. By the end of fiscal year 2009, we anticipate that we will have an additional 48 RNAV routes, 35 RNAV arrival and departure procedures, and 29 RNP SAAAR approach procedures in place. Additionally, other PBN procedures such as Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance approaches throughout the NAS elevate the overall number of Performance Based Procedures to over 8,000.
What Are the Challenges of RNAV/RNP?
The development of RNAV/RNP procedures is a relatively young program at the FAA. The agency only began developing these procedures in 2002. Along the way, we have encountered some challenges and learned from them. We intend to apply those lessons moving forward.
While we have a standard process for developing RNAV/RNP procedures in the Terminal area, we did not have a comparable process for developing procedures elsewhere in the operational environment. We believe this as an area in which we could improve, and have asked for an agency-wide mapping of all PBN processes to standardize how we develop, test, chart, and implement Performance-Based Navigation procedures. I am pleased to report that we should be starting work on that Process Mapping in the next couple of weeks.
As we move forward, there are other challenges that continue to face us in the advancement of RNAV/RNP. For example:
- International Harmonization: What the FAA terms "RNP SAAAR" (defined above), the bulk of the international community refers to as "RNP AR." As always, we want to make sure that our terms and procedures are harmonized with international standards to reduce confusion and enhance safety. As a result, we are transitioning this term to harmonize with the international community's term. We will continue to work with our counterparts internationally in addressing these types of issues.
- Environmental Issues: While many RNAV/RNP procedures are considered "overlays," that is, following essentially the same flight path that air traffic follows today, the implementation of some RNAV/RNP procedures will trigger the need for a detailed quantitative environmental review because the location and number of proposed flight paths may be different from what currently exists. The FAA has a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and doing our best to analyze and mitigate the impact on the public in terms of noise and emissions, while maintaining safety of the NAS. While the FAA understands the frustration felt by industry on the delay to implementation that these environmental reviews may cause at times, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously and will not compromise our environmental stewardship responsibilities for the sake of expediency.
- Hybrid Environment: As the aviation industry moves towards equipping their aircraft to take full advantage of RNAV/RNP benefits, we are bound to see a mix of differing aircraft capabilities in the NAS, flying different types of procedures. This "hybrid environment" will certainly present additional challenges to our controllers, but we are fully confident that they will be able to handle these challenges as we deploy decision support tools, technology, and training. Because equipage remains a challenge to some in the aviation community, the FAA is committed to providing a safe environment in the NAS for all users.
- Third-Party Development: There are several third-party vendors available who are capable of developing RNAV/RNP procedures for specific projects. We are working with two of them (Naverus and Jeppesen) to authorize them to do procedure development, flight validation, and maintenance of Public RNP SAAAR instrument approaches, under FAA supervision. However, the safety of the NAS is the FAA's mission and responsibility. When we do use these third-party resources, FAA is committed to overseeing their work to ensure safe development and implementation into the NAS. We will not abdicate our responsibility to assure safety.
- Prioritization of Procedures: As the benefits of RNAV/RNP become clearer to users of the NAS, we have received increasing requests to add or accelerate new RNAV/RNP procedures more widely in the NAS. The FAA certainly appreciates the validation of our work, but we caution that implementation of new procedures into the NAS must be done carefully and methodically to ensure a cohesive system. Moreover, as the RNAV/RNP program matures, we are discovering that certain procedures may provide greater benefits for industry, the flying public, and the NAS overall. Safe and effective integration of these procedures are of paramount importance to the FAA, and as such, we are working to deploy them in a manner that will maximize the benefits of RNAV/RNP.
Some of our other technical challenges are illustrated in the graphic below. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. RNAV/RNP Implementation and Challenges
As you can see, the FAA has developed a solid foundation of routes and procedures for RNAV/RNP, which serves as a platform of the enhanced safety and efficiency goals of NextGen. Since we have this foundation, we are transitioning from a site-by-site (or runway-by-runway) implementation process toward a NextGen readiness concept that would include development of an integrated system of PBN routes and procedures NAS-wide. This broader view will go further in advancing NextGen and better accommodate our intent to accelerate NextGen as much as possible. In the end this integrated approach will optimize benefits for operators, and ultimately, the traveling public. While we anticipate challenges along the way, we have learned from our work over the past few years and are prepared to meet those challenges effectively.
Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Petri, Members of the Subcommittee, this concludes my prepared remarks. I would happy to answer any questions you may have.

The Active team was on hand yesterday afternoon for the Grand Opening of the new Reebok Crossfit gym on Fifth Avenue, the largest Crossfit box in Manhattan. Winners of the 2012 CrossFit Games, Rich Froning and Annie Thorisdottir were in the house to meet fans, pose for photos and help giveaway some awesome product. Music was bumping, excitement was in the air, and the line wrapped around the front of the store and well down 37th Street before it even turned 5 o'clock.
The new location is a hybrid for Reebok, consisting of a retail store on ground-level and a full CrossFit gym below it. With fun colors, cheerful staff and state-of-the-art equipment, you can't help but be inspired to break a sweat and get to work. We can't wait to get back down there and try it out first-hand! - Erin Mintun

Service Trips
The Office of Service and Leadership (OSL) was also created to support student initiatives. Participating students gain inspiration and new friendships, while providing valuable service to others. Our goal is to provide our students with the opportunity to attend service trips at least once a semester at no cost.
Upcoming Trip
Several Ashford Clinton campus students will explore poverty, hunger, homelessness, and the gifts and challenges of urban Des Moines, IA with the Office of Service and Leadership as we embark on an "urban plunge" service weekend October 2-5. Students will serve the community at eight different sites over the course of the weekend, offering hope and aid to those in need, leading students to discover how they can use their passion and talents to make a difference in the lives of others.
Our Most Recent Trip
After the campus' spring semester ended back in May 2014, 22 Ashford students and three staff members packed their bags and headed south to New Orleans. The Ashford volunteers partnered with Youth Rebuilding New Orleans (YRNO), a group that renovates distressed and foreclosed homes around New Orleans. The finished homes are then sold to teachers with the goals of stabilizing neighborhoods and positively impacting the city's educational system.
"The service trip once again exceeded my expectations. I am overwhelmingly proud of our students and the hard work they put into each of our days of service," said Audra Adams, Ashford Manager of Service Learning and the Office of Service and Leadership. "The students respected the needs of the New Orleans community and worked to accomplish all they could, while still taking time to appreciate the unique culture of the area."
During the week-long service trip, the Ashford group worked on sanding, painting, and trimming two area homes. "Partnering with YRNO taught our group so much about the culture, the disaster, and poverty – all in one week's time," explained Annie Chezem, an Ashford graduate who was one of the volunteers in New Orleans. "These memories and values are irreplaceable and will help us as students to continue to grow in our personal and professional lives."
Rebecca Meinema, an Education major at Ashford, agreed. "The service trip to New Orleans was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I am currently studying to be a future educator, so it was such a great feeling to know we were working on future educators' houses to further the education in the New Orleans community."
But it wasn't all work for the volunteers. They took a little time out of their hectic schedules to soak in the culture of one of America's most unique cities. The Ashford contingent took part in a swamp tour, visited the famed French Quarter, and enjoyed some authentic Cajun cuisine. New Orleans was selected as this year's destination by the Ashford Student Service Advisory Board.

Ancient Roman Gods and Goddesses for kids - Vulcan
The myths and legends surrounding Vulcan, the Roman god of fire & the blacksmith of the gods
VulcanDiscover the legends and myths and religious beliefs surrounding Vulcan, the Roman god of fire & the blacksmith of the gods. He was the son of Jupiter and Juno, the king and queen of the gods and the husband of Venus, the goddess of love. His name derives from the Latin word 'Vulcanus' meaning "fire, flames, volcano". His festival, the Vulcanalia, was celebrated on August 23 when the hot summer heat put the crops and granaries at risk of burning.
The Greek counterpart of this ancient Roman deity was Hephaestus. Additional, intriguing information about ancient gods and goddesses is also available via:
Who was Vulcan?Vulcan was the Roman god of fire & the blacksmith of the gods. When his mother Juno first saw Vulcan she was so affronted by his ugly appearance that she threw him into the sea from Mount Olympus, which caused him to become lame. It is ironic that he married Venus, the most beautiful of all the goddesses, although he was the ugliest of the gods. Jupiter gave Venus to Vulcan, in gratitude for the service he had rendered in forging thunderbolts. The god was the blacksmith of the gods and worked with one-eyed Cyclopes to create weapons, armor and other amazing items for the gods.
The Forge of Vulcan (Hephaestus)
Facts about VulcanThe following facts and profile provides a fast overview of Vulcan:
Vulcan Profile & Fact File
The amazing metal working skills of the Roman god of fire enabled him to create fabulous bronze palaces for the gods on Mount Olympus and furnished them with magnificent golden thrones. Vulcan was considered as the manufacturer of art, arms, iron, jewellery and armor for various gods and heroes, the divine armor of Achilles.
His supernatural and powerful skills as a metal worker led Vulcan to make many other astonishing items using precious metals such as gold, silver and bronze, including magnificent metal robots that served the gods and their favorite mortals. Many of the marvellous mechanical robots were made for King Aietes including:
Vulcan also made the bronze giant Talus, that he gave to King Minos to guard the island of Crete. The mechanical giant Talus features in the mythology surrounding Jason and the Argonauts.
Facts about Vulcan in Roman MythologyDiscover interesting information and facts about Vulcan, the Roman god of fire & the blacksmith of the gods. The facts about Vulcan provides a list detailing fascinating additional info to increase your knowledge about Vulcan in ancient Roman history and Mythology.
History and Mythical Facts about Vulcan
Vulcan (Greek Counterpart was Hephaestus)The Romans habitually assimilated various elements from other cultures and civilisations, including the gods and goddesses that were worshipped by the Greeks and other nations. When the Roman Empire conquered the Greeks in 146BC many of the Greek gods and goddesses were adopted by the Romans. The Romans simply changed the Greek gods names to Latin equivalents. The Greek counterpart of Vulcan was Hephaestus. The Roman religion significantly differed from the Greeks in that it was officially endorsed by the state and exerted influence over the government of Rome. Politicians took the offices of influential priests, called pontiffs, to gain control of the popular worship, Roman gods and goddesses like Vulcan were worshipped at every public event, including the gladiatorial games, where blood sacrifices were made to the gods. In ancient Rome, the pantheon of 12 major gods, including Vulcan, were called the 'Dei Consentes' meaning the Council of Gods.

Newbies chomping at the bit!
Wow! What a forum! Congrats to you all for your open, generous and knowledgeable postings - an invaluable resource for all. I have spent hours and hours over the last few days reading as many posts as I can. I even feel I know some of you! :D
My husband (masonry contractor) and I (ex-restauranteur) recently sold our last business and have moved to Vancouver Island (BC) from the mainland. We have always wanted to build a wood-fired oven and plan to do so this spring at our new home. However, we are also looking for a new venture and are intrigued with the idea of making and marketing pizzas/bread, either as a small cottage industry (we have 1.6 acres, with a workshop in a great area) or as a portable business as depicted by The Fire Within team. The former idea is something we would like to operate as a small business only, say, 3 days a week and the catering would be at sporadic events and functions of course.
I would love to hear from anyone who has some direct experience with either of these scenarios so that we could continue to fine-tune our thoughts. My husband is highly experienced with the construction materials required (particularly the bricks, mortars, concrete, etc) so we're leaning towards building our own rather than buying a pre-fab in both cases. Suggestions?
And thanks in advance!
Re: Newbies chomping at the bit!
Hello Karen,
Put "The Bread Builders" by Allen Scott and Daniel Wing on your list of books to read.
One component of the book is descriptions of several "bread businesses" similar to what you describe. Those stories might help you define what you want to do with your baking idea.
The "Allen Scott" oven style is a widely used oven. It is designed for a different application than the oven design here on Forno Bravo. It will server you well to read many of the posts on this site to understand the differences.
(Oven efficiency, and amount of retained heat...)
Good luck with your business idea and your oven build.
Re: Newbies chomping at the bit!
Thanks, Jed!
We DO have the Bread Builders Book and I even emailed Allan Scott; he recommends purchasing his plans from his site but we've more research to do first. I will continue wading through the site to make sure I understand the differences well.
This morning, we're leaning towards the portable oven scenario so I will continue getting the facts on these. Obviously, the major question seems to be how one builds something strong enough to withstand movement and maintain heat retention while being easily transportable (another factor in our favour for this route is that we own an HD truck and trailer so could maybe build/adapt more easily).
Thank-you again.
Re: Newbies chomping at the bit!
Welcome Karen. I have to second Jed regarding the Allen Scott book so far as the case studies of small businesses that are set up around wood fired ovens.
Regarding this forum, you are unlikely to find any better resource to bounce any idea you have regarding any planned oven or even business idea. It is simply amazing the amount of knowledge available here!
And lastly, and just for my own curiosity, is Vancouver on of those few places on this planet that is actually in a "half hour" time zone? :eek: I did not believe those places even existed, until I actually met somebody that I believe was from (I think) Vancouver Island, but not sure that is where it was!
Welcome to the Forno Bravo Forum! :D
Travis n'Texas
Re: Newbies chomping at the bit!
Thanks for the input, Travis. I am reading away!! One concern I have is the burning of alot of wood; here in BC, they are resticting the burning of wood more and more (cannot burn for 6 months of the year on our private acreage even). I may have to also research a propane-fueled masonry unit......
Not sure what a 'half-hour' time zone is - we're on Pacific coast time, the same as WA for example. We spent 7 years in San Diego and 2 in Medford, Oregon too. I get down to Cleburne, just outside Dallas every couple of years, to visit ex-San Diegan neighbors. Small world.
Re: Newbies chomping at the bit!
Sorry Karen, I was on the wrong coast of Canada with the time zone question! :o Oh THAT Vacouver Island! :)
If you are going to run a business baking, you need more mass than is generally recommended here. I know for home use, I was leaning towards a rectangular barrel vaulted oven, based on what I knew at the time, then found this place and decided that a dome with much less mass was way more practical (though harder to build) for me.
You can certainly plan and build a round oven that you can bake in for a business, and get wonderful performance from it. Same can be said for a rectangular barrel vault.
As far as I understand it, the real difference is how much thermal mass you want to put in your oven. If you plan on doing multiple, full ovens, full of bread, you will need more thermal mass than is generally recommended for the home use folks like myself.
The more mass you have, the longer and more fuel it takes to heat it all up, but also the longer you can bake in it once you have done so.
I will let the others correct, or add other considerations, since I am new at this myself, and am only just learning.
If you are going to be operating under burning restrictions, then you may well want to go with a gas fired oven. I have never run across anything so far that has said you cannot build an oven that has a gas capability that cannot also use wood as an alternative, so maybe you can plan for both, and keep a year round business and live with the restrictions when you need.
Re: Newbies chomping at the bit!
Check into the specifics of the burn bans. In most places, there are exceptions for cooking devices and primary heating devices. So while you wouldn't be able to have a fire for aesthetic reasons, it would still be possible to use your WFO. Everywhere is different, of course, but it's worth investigating.

West Brom winger Jerome Thomas has been given an extra one-match suspension following an FA hearing.
The 26-year-old is already two games into his initial four-match ban for his sending off in the 1-0 win at Plymouth on February 6.
Thomas attended a personal hearing to face a charge of violent conduct for a challenge on David McNamee in that clash but his ban has now been extended by FA officials, meaning he will miss five games in total.

Top US general says he can work with airstrike ban
KABUL, Afghanistan The top American commander in Afghanistan said on Sunday that he believes the U.S.-led NATO coalition can operate effectively despite the Afghan president's decision to ban Afghan security forces from requesting airstrikes in residential areas.
President Hamid Karzai on Saturday said he decided on the ban after Afghan security services asked the U.S. military for an airstrike during a joint Afghan-NATO operation last week. Afghan officials said the airstrike killed 10 civilians, including women and children, in northeast Kunar province along with four insurgents.
The death of civilians during military operations, particularly in airstrikes, has been among the most divisive issues of the 11-year-old war. The U.S.-led coalition has implemented measures to mitigate them, but the Afghan military also relies heavily on air support to gain an upper hand in the fight against Taliban militants and other insurgents.
Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford told reporters during a briefing that he was working out the details of the ban with Afghanistan's defense minister and military chief.
"This is a sovereign nation and the president is exercising sovereignty," Dunford said, adding that NATO had "made extraordinary progress in mitigating risks to civilians and we will continue to do so."
Dunford said coalition forces believe they can conduct "effective operations within the president's guidance" because it falls within a tactical directive issued last year by his predecessor, Marine Gen. John Allen.
The U.S.-led military coalition said last June that it would limit airstrikes to a self-defense weapon of last resort for troops and would avoid hitting structures that could house civilians. That followed a bombardment that killed 18 civilians celebrating a wedding in eastern Logar province, which drew an apology from the American commander.
The coalition, however, can still carry out airstrikes on its own accord.
"I believe the support we will provide to the Afghans is exactly consistent with the coalition's tactical directive," Dunford said.
The U.N. mission in Afghanistan said 83 civilians were killed and 46 wounded in aerial attacks by international military forces in the first half of 2012. That figure was down 23 percent from the same period of 2011 - the deadliest year on record for civilians in the Afghan war. It said two-thirds of the casualties last year were women and children and insurgents were responsible for the overwhelming majority of the deaths.
Karzai's decision, however, could hamper the Afghan force's ability to fight the insurgency as it robs them of one of their most potent weapons. It also runs counter to Afghan requests for NATO to supply their security forces with aircraft capable of carrying out airstrikes. The Afghan military has repeatedly implored the United States for jet fighters, such as F-16's, and heavy weapons - including tanks and artillery.
"There are other ways we can support our Afghan partners other than air ordinance," Dunford said without elaborating. He said the Afghan security forces will have to take Karzai's decree into account when they make future operational plans.
Afghans currently lead about 90 percent of military operations nationwide and will fully take charge in the spring. However, they remain heavily dependent on the coalition for air support and medical evacuations from remote areas.

By Derrick Mahone
North Clayton is searching for a new football coach with current coach Rodney Hackney expected to be named to the same position at Washington High in Atlanta.
Hackney is awaiting approval from the Atlanta Public School System, but the North Clayton job opening has already been posted on a job website. When reached by text on Thursday, Hackney declined comment on the move.
This would be Hackney's second stint in the Atlanta system. In 2005, Hackney led his alma mater Mays High to an 8-3 record before leaving for Lithonia High in DeKalb County.
During his three-year tenure at North Clayton, the Clark Atlanta University graduate compiled a 29-7 record and led the Eagles to three straight playoff appearances.
At North Clayton, he sent several players on to the college ranks, including Clayton News Daily players of the year Clarence Jackson (Ole Miss) and Amarlo Herrera (Georgia).
In 10 seasons as a head coach, Hackney has compiled a 55-56 record and been to the playoffs seven times.
"He (Hackney) changed the way we did things," said Herrera, a former all-state linebacker. "We got closer as a team under him."
Defensive coordinator Max Wiltz, who is a leading candidate to replace
Hackney, has been running spring practice the last two weeks. North Clayton will hold its annual spring game today at the school.
North Clayton co-athletics director Martisse Troup said the school is hoping to name a coach by next week.
"We want to name someone before school gets out because they start their summer program," Troup said.
Herrera is endorsing Wiltz for the job.
"He would be a good choice," said Herrera, who had 155 tackles this past season.
Hackney will inherit a Washington program that is similar to the one he is leaving. The school has produced several Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Div I-A) caliber players. The Bulldogs have missed the postseason the last two seasons.
The job came open when coach Stanley Pritchett, a former running back with the Atlanta Falcons, resigned to take the job at North Atlanta.
This upcoming season, the team will feature standout running back Justin Taylor, a 5-11, 215-pounder, who has already committed to SEC power Alabama. Last season, Taylor rushed for 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns in 10 games. He also had 15 catches for 150 yards.
North Clayton is the third football opening in Clayton County since the end of the 2010 season. Riverdale had to replace Nick Davis, who left to take a similar position at Spalding.
The Raiders named Carver-Columbus defensive coordinator Olten Downs to the position in February. Forest Park is expected to name a new coach next month when teaching contracts become available.

Weekdays at 5am on 92.3 KTAR
Arizona Morning News
Thank you, Mr. President!
As the government shut down drags on and some Republicans insist that the president and Democrats won't "negotiate" with them, the president called them out.
This is all about a small group of Tea Party Republicans in the House who are adamantly opposed to Obamacare. They huff and puff and wave their copies of the Constitution, but don't seem to care that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land, passed by Congress, signed by the president and ruled to be constitutional by the Supreme Court. That's the way we do business in this country.
Let's be clear. These folks are small minority and represent only 18 percent of the American population. Because none of them won with 100 percent of the vote in their districts, the real number is probably more like 10 percent. But that's not why their credibility with me is zero. Right after the 2012 term began, they promised to get all the appropriate committees in the House of Representatives working on a healthcare plan that would be better than Obamacare. They haven't, even though that's the way we do business in this country.
At a recent public appearance, the president challenged them on that point, inviting them to improve the law. Thank you, Mr. President. We're all waiting for their ideas. We've been waiting for 20 months.
I'm no expert in healthcare matters but I know the current system is badly broken. People die because they don't have access to health care. Others go bankrupt because they don't have insurance. I don't know if Obamacare is the answer. I do know it's an answer. I want to see the Republicans' answer. If it provides better care for more people for less money, I'm on board.

About the ManufacturerSince 1931, the Magnussen family has been committed to blending the fine qualities that they value in life into the fine furniture they offer their customers. Integrity. Ingenuity. Style. Dedication. Magnussen delivers more than the norm. At Magnussen Home, they go "BEYOND THE EXPECTED."
From the beginning as a small furniture company in Ontario, Canada, Magnussen has evolved into a full line furniture resource with offices in Ontario, Canada; High Point, NC; Riverside, CA; and, the Far East. Their business is creating furniture designs of exceptional style, value and beauty. Magnussen produces these designs in partnership with their manufacturing partners around the world that meet exacting standards for superior quality at the best possible value.
The foundation of Magnussen's success is built on the company's core values of trust, honesty, and respect. Each of my teammates at Magnussen Home participates in the success of the company and is eager to ensure that their furniture products enrich the homes of customers with their exceptional style and workmanship.
An unrivaled value in home furnishings -- this is the commitment that they renew everyday to consumers who invite Magnussen Home into their lives. Magnussen sources their designs from only the finest home furnishings manufacturers, many in the Far East and Central America.
Even as the company has grown larger, the principles of a family-run business -- trust, honesty and respect -- continue to be its foundation. The company was founded in 1931 by Ingwer Magnussen. A cabinetmaker by trade and a craftsman and businessman by heart, Ingwer took the bold initiative to start his own business in Kitchener, Ontario, when he was unable to find work during the 1930s depression. He beautifully and intricately carved show wood for sofa frames for upholstery manufacturers and his business grew into a good-sized company serving Canada.
Richard Magnussen, Ingwer's son, joined the company in 1970 at the age of 20. Richard steered the company's focus on expansion and growth, enabling Magnussen Furniture to become Canada's largest supplier of occasional tables. In 1986, Richard founded Presidential Furniture, a division of Magnussen Furniture, to serve the U.S. market. In 1986, the company began trading as Magnussen-Presidential Furniture, which became one of the most progressive occasional furniture suppliers in North America. With an eye to detail and an understanding of the worth of exclusive designs, Richard built relationships with international manufacturers from around the world and tapped a huge growth opportunity. Magnussen-Presidential Furniture began importing from the Orient a decade before fashion trends and design styles in the furniture business made it in vogue to do so.
In 2002, Magnussen-Presidential Furniture became Magnussen Home. The addition of "Home" reflects what Magnussen offers as a company -- fine furniture, designed and created by a family of craftsmen from around the world, to fill the most important rooms in your home.
The Difference
Details are important... even down to where you will set a water glass. They have a passion for details. It stems from how Magnussen runs their company, grows into the conveniences they design into their furniture, and blooms into the relationships built with their valued dealers.
Magnussen designs every piece of furniture that carries the Magnussen Home name. They understand that finishing touches like intricately carved woodwork or ironwork do more than complete the look of a piece of furniture; they set the tone of your home. Magnussen furniture does more than fill a home. It expresses who we are.
An unwavering commitment to ensuring your satisfaction is their most important difference.

The casters are wonderful
susan from sarasota, FL – Verified Buyer
I like that this can be wheeled around. Perfect to pull up to the couch and eat off of. Plus, it comes all assembled. Huge box and lots of packing. My onlu disappointment is the straw basket. Its not a rough wicker like in the picture. Its a caramel brown and brings down the appearance a little. I'm going to try to find a substitute basket.
Great price
Joanne from FL – Verified Buyer
Tried to order this coffee table in a local furniture store and was told that it would take 8-12 weeks for delivery. Ordered it from Wayfair for significantly less money and a much quicker delivery. Wayfair delivered in its usual excellent style -- well packaged, as expected, on time.
Great product.

Beyonce wins 5 Grammys, including song of the year
LOS ANGELES Beyonce led the Grammys with five trophies including song of the year early in Sunday night's award program, where she was the favorite with 10 nominations.
Beyonce won the songwriting trophy along with three writers for her omnipresent anthem "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)." The superstar also won best R&B contemporary album for "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" among her other awards, and still had the opportunity to win the evening's other top awards - record and album of the year.
Beyonce wasn't on hand to accept her early trophies: She was preparing for her dramatic onstage rendition of "If I Were A Boy," one of several hits from her top-selling third CD.
Lady Gaga delivered the early show-stopper with a typically eye-popping spectacle that included another piano-playing diva, Elton John.
Lady Gaga, who already won two Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony, kicked off the night with a sequined green leotard with massive shoulders as she sang her Grammy-nominated hit "Poker Face" amid an elaborate stage that included dramatic choreography and pyrotechnics.
Moments later, she scaled things down a bit - as much as Lady Gaga can - and brought out Elton John as they melded her song "Speechless" and his classic "Your Song" together in a performance that featured dueling pianos, and glitter-painted faces.
Taylor Swift, who was second to Beyonce in Grammy nominations with eight nods, won three early awards, including best country album. Though the 20-year-old has won just about every award imaginable over the past year for her best-selling CD "Fearless," she was wide-eyed and emotional when she accepted her trophy for the country album.
"I just keep thinking back to when you're in second grade and you sing in the talent show for the first time and people joke around and say, 'Maybe we'll see you at the Grammys some day.' But that just seems like an impossible dream," she said. "I just feel like I'm standing here accepting an impossible dream."
The Grammy for best new artist went to the Zac Brown Band.
The Black Eyed Peas also had three trophies from the pre-telecast, and other double winners were the Kings of Leon, Jay-Z, Eminem, and Maxwell.
Maxwell, up for six awards, also won his first Grammys - best R&B male vocal for the ballad "Pretty Wings" and best R&B album for "BLACKsummers' night." The album marked the R&B crooner's return after an absence of eight years from the music business.
"I am a little bit choked up right now. This is my first Grammy, and it means a lot to me," said Maxwell said after picking up his award for "Pretty Wings."
While Beyonce has won a caseload of Grammys during her career, she hasn't won album of the year. That had the potential to change Sunday. The superstar was nominated for album of the year for "I Am ... Sasha Fierce," as well as record of the year for "Halo."

I know that there are some who just like to go to the social, so if we could
