New guy and my new portable brick oven in Oregon
Hello all,
I'm new to wood fired and brick ovens, so forgive if I use wrong terminology or otherwise miss speak.
Prior to becoming a maintenance mechanic at a glass factory, I spent 25 years as a pastry chef in small bakeries. The love of baking is bringing me back to baking. I've always enjoyed cooking and baking but with only the wife and I, cooking and baking for only the two of us gets boring. Something led me to look up wood burning, brick ovens and then I started thinking of designing and building my own but a portable version!
Yesterday, I invited friends over for a backyard Pizza party. Made up a batch of Sourdough from my own starter day before and had many ingredients ready to go. I had six different pizzas in mind, including a dessert pizza. Lit the fire about an hour prior to guests arriving, an hour after they arrived I started baking. In batches of two pizzas, we had a feast! I picked the toppings and let no one know what was coming next, only told guests not to fill up as more were coming. After a couple hours of gorging on hearth baked pizzas, my guests gave a huge Thank You and asked when next part will be :-)
After I post some pics, I'll offer up details of my oven design. My avitar pic is of my portable oven.
Re: New guy and my new portable brick oven in Oregon
Heh! Alright! Someone right down the road from me. gmchm

The 1993 World Trade Center Bombing: 20 Years Later

Church Connections
Mission Statement
The philosophical mission of Church Connection is help connect students to churches in order for them to grow spiritually in ways in which just being at a student at Westmont Liberal Arts college will not be able to fully develop.
Hebrews 10:25 "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
The practical mission of Church Connection is to help connect students to churches within the Santa Barbara community. Church Connections is geared to provide the following services:
- Provide students with information about a wide variety of churches which includes service times, addresses, and phone numbers.
- In addition, during the 1st week of the semester students can indicate on the back of their Chapel card their desire for assistance with church transportation. We will personally get back to each request with ride information and suggestions.
The below link is a complete listing of the churches within the Santa Barbara area. This information is updated on a regular basis.

Over the last 14 years or so, the LSU game hasn't been kind to Mississippi State.
That was no different Saturday night.
The Bulldogs dropped a 59-26 decision to No. 10 LSU for their 14th-consecutive loss to the Tigers.
"Give LSU some credit," MSU head coach Dan Mullen said. "They made a lot of big plays, they've got a lot of talented players and showed it at times. I thought we did a great job battling for three quarters and then we wore down a little there in the fourth quarter and didn't finish."
LSU (5-1, 2-1) has won 21 of the last 22 decisions against the Bulldogs (2-3, 0-2). The only win came in 1999 when the Bulldogs beat a 12th-ranked Tiger team at Davis Wade Stadium 17-16. The Bulldogs are now 33-71-3 all-time against the Tigers.

A few days ago, I was reading an XBiz special report called Porn & Condoms: Adult Industry Stands Divided, which obviously surmised the current, "Should condoms be mandatory on porn shoots?" debate within the porn industry.
Since pornstar Cameron Bay contracted HIV, the debate has come to the forefront of industry news.
The belief is that Cameron Bay wouldn't have contracted HIV if condoms were mandatory on porn shoots.
I'm not here to discuss whether or not condoms should be mandatory. If we were to talk about condoms in porn, I would say that Nina Hartley has it figured it out already. Nina opposes the mandatory condoms in porn, favouring a "condoms optional" policy.

NYT: 100 Countries Refused to Take the Uighurs
10:57 AM, Jun 10, 2009 • By THOMAS JOSCELYN
The New York Times account of the Obama administration's deal with Palau, which has agreed to take some or all of the 17 Uighurs detained at Gitmo, contains one interesting observation and one significant oversight.
The interesting observation is this: "But the United States had not been able to persuade any country to take them, despite contacting about 100 governments."
About 100 governments rejected the Obama administration's request to take the Uighurs? We knew the administration was shopping the Uighurs around, but the administration contacted around 100 foreign governments? That tells you how ineffectual the administration's diplomatic efforts have been thus far. It also indicates how little foreign governments (including the European nations that repeatedly clamored for Gitmo to be closed) are really willing to help. Only one nation, out of about 100, has agreed to assist the administration in this regard -- the tiny island resort nation of Palau, which is heavily dependent on U.S. aid. Other outlets have reported that Palau is receiving $200 million in aid as part of the deal. The Times says "a senior State Department official flatly denied it was a quid pro quo for the detainee deal."
Right. I'm sure the $200 million aid package did not influence Palau's decision-making at all.
This leads us to the significant oversight: "The Chinese government accuses some Uighurs of leading an Islamic separatist movement in far western China, and Beijing has pressed many countries not to accept the detainees."
The Times blames the reticence of other foreign governments on pressure from Beijing. But, the Times does not mention that all 17 Uighur detainees are either members or associates of the Eastern Turkestan Islamic Movement (also known as the Turkestan Islamic Party), a U.S. and UN-designated al Qaeda affiliate. Most of the Uighur detainees have admitted they were trained at ETIM/TIP training camps. And at least eight of them have admitted that Abdul Haq, a member of al Qaeda's elite Shura council, ran the training camps where they learned to wage jihad.
Ironically, the documents that back up these claims can be found on the Times's own website. But for some reason, no Times reporter could take the time to investigate who the Uighur detainees really are. Instead, the newspaper of record refers to their organization as merely "an Islamic separatist movement."

Lady Tigers Continue To Make Progress in Spring Season
April 3, 2012
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Reaching the midway point of the spring schedule, the University of Memphis women's soccer team continues the slate as Alabama visits Mike Rose Soccer Complex for a 7 p.m. match against the Lady Tigers.
"We are continuing to make progress as we go along," head coach Brooks Monaghan said. "My goal for this spring is for this team to get better with each game. I think this team continues to improve and we are finding players to fill holes left by the graduating seniors. We have players gaining confidence who didn't get minutes last year. We are moving in the right direction and I hope we continue that with this game against Alabama."
Memphis is coming off a 3-0 victory against Vanderbilt on Saturday. Christabel Oduro returned last week from a stint with the Canadian National Team and Tine Schryvers continues to play in Portugal for the U19 European Championships. Schryvers will return next week to give Memphis a full roster for the final two games of spring.
Following Wednesday's game, Memphis will play Ole Miss on Tuesday, April 10 before closing the spring season with a match against Samford on April 14 in Decatur, Ala.

Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8 color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64 color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64 color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8 color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who's an 8 color type...I'm like, hey girl, Magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no I want Magenta!" ― John Mayer That pretty much sums it up. Or if you prefer the slightly longer version... I'm a really lucky guy. I have a loving family and amazing group of friends. I've gotten to experience some pretty incredible things in my life. Born and raised in the south, but feel at home in a big city. Working my dream job at Disney. In fact I get paid for doing something that I would almost do for free. Just don't tell my boss that. Love seeing new places, which often means traveling as much and as far away as possible. Also a sucker for a weekend getaway in Tampa or Siesta Key. My faith is extremely important to me. It's less about religion and more about having a relationship with God. To me, church is not just the place you meet on Sundays but the people you do life with. Active lifestyle: Skydiving, paddle boarding, paint balling, running, scuba diving. If it's thrilling, sign me up! Thankfully Groupon offers deals on all of the above. Of course, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a night in once in awhile. Some times a great indie film, some wine, and a home cooked meal can be perfectly romantic. Music lover is a bit of an understatement. I have a pretty eclectic taste: from Bob Dylan to Jay Z and almost everything in between. Some of my favorites: Jack's Mannequin, Vampire Weekend, Bronze Radio Return, Mumford & Sons, Daft Punk, The Head and the Heart. Looking for in her: Someone that knows who she is and who she wants to be. Loving, kind, with a big heart. Knows how to have fun, laugh really hard, and enjoys intellectually stimulating conversation over coffee. Not really looking to jump into a serious relationship, but not ruling it out. Are you Ms. Magenta?

Did I mention travel? Mexican food, new music/Spotify, The Daily Show, Mad Men, rainy Sunday afternoons, chocolate chip cookies, Bible, grilling out, craft beer, and meeting awesome people.
Hang with friends, whether that's going to see a movie, a concert, or shooting each other up with paintballs. Try to travel as much as possible. Recent trips: Europe, Vegas, California.

Linfield College Visit
On January 27, 2014, Willamette Academy students visited Linfield College in McMinnville, OR. The college visitation consisted of a full campus tour, preview of traditional residential halls, group presentation with an admissions counselor and an exclusive insight to Linfield's dining services.
The visitation began with a campus tour. Throughout the tour, Academy students explored the various academic majors and minors offered as well as study aboard and volunteer opportunities. Moreover, students learned the importance and emphasis of a small, private college solemnly for undergraduates; a distinction from other private liberal arts institutions.
Aside exposure to superb academic programs available, Academy students visited other facilities and resources at Linfield such as the athletic facility, university center, library, and residential halls. Following the tour, an admissions counselor met with students for a more in-depth presentation. Financial aid, student demographic and university statics were amongst topics presented. Questions including "who assigns roommates" to "what is life in McMinnville and surrounding areas like" were answered, respectfully.
The day could not be complete without experiencing the dining services Linfield has to offer: buffet-style. Academy students enjoyed tasty options from gluten-free burger buns with onion rings to salads top with various essentials. Before departing, the group made their way to the campus entrance for a group photo; capturing student's smiles showcasing, yet again, the rich impact stepping foot on a college campus has on student's pursuit to higher education.

Issued on behalf of Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School Leeds
"Cardinal Heenan pupils Victoria Milne and Joe Mylan, both 16, have won a national competition".
"Maura Rutherford teaches at Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School, Leeds, where pupils have won a BBC Question Time competition"
Celebrities and politicians will descend on Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School, Leeds, next week after students won the right to host an episode of Question Time.
The Leeds school is one of only six schools and colleges nationwide to top a BBC Schools Questions & Answers contest.
A BBC crew will visit the Leeds school on Friday 11 May to film the show. A Cardinal Heenan pupil will be appear on a panel chaired by Kirsty Wark, the presenter of the BBC Two's news and current affairs programme Newsnight.
For their winning entry Cardinal Heenan pupils filmed their own debate on the protestors outside St Paul's Cathedral, London, and in other major cities including Leeds.
Maura Rutherford, a teacher of English at Cardinal Heenan, said: "By debating the issues arising from the protest camps our students showed BBC judges that they enjoy discussing issues that affect them, their communities and the wider world.
"This live BBC broadcast is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to debate directly with leading politicians and people who hold power. Our pupils will be the studio audience. They will be as much part of the programme as those sitting on the panel."
Cardinal Heenan pupil Victoria Milne, aged 16, said: "Pupils here have been very successful in debating competitions run by The English Speaking Union. It's a big deal because Cardinal Heenan is one of only a few 11 to 16 schools to take part. We are nearly always up against older sixth formers from private schools."
Joe Mylan, Head Boy at Cardinal Heenan, 16, said: "We have a big School Council here. It's run by students, so we are used to debating and arguing a case. We are really looking forward to being filmed by the BBC."
As part of their prize Cardinal Heenan pupils are taking part in workshops run by Parliament's Education Service. The pupils are learning about politics and how to host a stimulating debate.
The programme will be broadcast by the BBC on The Internet as a live webcast. It will also be shown on the BBC Parliament channel.
The BBC Schools Questions and Answers Challenge is a national competition for 14 – 19 year olds in schools and colleges. It uses the format of the popular Question Time programme on BBC One and Any Questions on Radio 4.
Question Time has been running for over 25 years on BBC One. It is Britain's most watched political programme. The radio show Any Questions? on BBC Radio 4 has been on air since 1948.
The full list of national winners is:
• Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School, Leeds
• Havering College of Further and Higher Education, Hornchurch, Essex
• Barton Peveril Sixth Form College, Eastleigh, Hampshire
• Belfast Methodist College, Belfast
• Rugby High School, Rugby, Warwickshire
• Uckfield Community Technology College, Uckfield, East Sussex

Cardinal Heenan pupils to host stars for TV show
Posted by Leeds City Council press office at 15:41
Party in the Park ticket details announced
Caption: Party in the Park is the UK's biggest annual free outdoor pop concert
The date and ticket process for this year's Party in the Park concert at Temple Newsam have been announced today.
The UK's biggest annual free outdoor pop event organised by Leeds City Council and 96.3 Radio Aire will take place on Sunday 22 July with a host of chart-topping acts performing at Temple Newsam Park.
The successful ballot system for tickets introduced last year will again be in operation with those wishing to attend able to register their interest at www.radioaire.com/partyinthepark from 8am on Monday 21 May.
The registration period will run for four weeks before closing at 10pm on Sunday 17 June, with applicants able to apply for a maximum of four tickets per household.
Priority will again be given to all people living in Leeds where the property is registered to Leeds City Council. Multiple applications from the same address will not be considered and a proportion of the tickets will be weighted towards local resident applications living in the Temple Newsam area. People living outside of Leeds will be able to apply, but due to the expected high demand it is unlikely they will be successful.
A draw will then be carried out, with those selected to be in the 70,000-capacity crowd being notified by email before 10pm on Thursday 21 June. This confirmation will also include details of how and when to collect the tickets in person from the reception of 96.3 Radio Aire on Burley Road, including the requirement for proof of ID to be shown in the form of utility or council tax bill matching the name and address of the successful applicant.
Disability ticket requests will also form part of the draw, with additional information being provided to successful applicants regarding access and parking at the venue.
Anyone without access to the internet can use the free computer facilities in all Leeds libraries and the Leeds Visitor Centre to make their application.
Announcements of the star names to be performing at Temple Newsam Park will be made on 96.3 Radio Aire and by media partner the Yorkshire Evening Post in the coming weeks, building up to the big day itself on Sunday 22 July.
Leeds City Council executive member for leisure Councillor Adam Ogilvie said:
"Party in the Park is a phenomenally popular event for Leeds so we are repeating the ballot system for tickets from last year as we feel it is the fairest and best way for everyone in the city wishing to attend to have an equal chance.
"The concert itself is a brilliant day out at Temple Newsam Park so we look forward to another amazing line-up this year and would advise anyone wanting to be there to make sure they register or they will miss out."
Rich Williams from Radio Aire Breakfast said:
"I'm so pleased we're able to confirm the date for this year's Party in the Park at Temple Newsam. It's such an amazing day for Leeds and we're lining up some unforgettable acts to perform for free. No other city puts on a free party like this!
"We will be announcing the line-up of acts live on Radio Aire Breakfast over the coming weeks. I've already had a sneaky peak at the list and I'm so excited, I'll have to do my best to keep my mouth shut and not let anything out of the bag!"
Further details of the ticketing system and full instructions of how to register including a useful frequently asked questions page are available at the official Party in the Park webpage at www.radioaire.com/partyinthepark.
Anyone with any accessibility issues or concerns about registering for tickets can also contact Leeds City Council's events team on 0113 395 0891 or by email at email@example.com.
Party in the Park will be preceded the previous evening by Opera in the Park on Saturday 21 July. Details of this year's event will be announced shortly.

Molecular method for the characterization of Coxiella burnetii from clinical and environmental samples: variability of genotypes in Spain

BMC Microbiology 2012, 12:91 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-12-91Published: 1 June 2012
Coxiella burnetii is a highly clonal microorganism which is difficult to culture, requiring BSL3 conditions for its propagation. This leads to a scarce availability of isolates worldwide. On the other hand, published methods of characterization have delineated up to 8 different genomic groups and 36 genotypes. However, all these methodologies, with the exception of one that exhibited limited discriminatory power (3 genotypes), rely on performing between 10 and 20 PCR amplifications or sequencing long fragments of DNA, which make their direct application to clinical samples impracticable and leads to a scarce accessibility of data on the circulation of C. burnetii genotypes.
To assess the variability of this organism in Spain, we have developed a novel method that consists of a multiplex (8 targets) PCR and hybridization with specific probes that reproduce the previous classification of this organism into 8 genomic groups, and up to 16 genotypes. It allows for a direct characterization from clinical and environmental samples in a single run, which will help in the study of the different genotypes circulating in wild and domestic cycles as well as from sporadic human cases and outbreaks. The method has been validated with reference isolates. A high variability of C. burnetii has been found in Spain among 90 samples tested, detecting 10 different genotypes, being those adaA negative associated with acute Q fever cases presenting as fever of intermediate duration with liver involvement and with chronic cases. Genotypes infecting humans are also found in sheep, goats, rats, wild boar and ticks, and the only genotype found in cattle has never been found among our clinical samples.
This newly developed methodology has permitted to demonstrate that C. burnetii is highly variable in Spain. With the data presented here, cattle seem not to participate in the transmission of C. burnetii to humans in the samples studied, while sheep, goats, wild boar, rats and ticks share genotypes with the human population.

India cannot address its economic and security concerns about China in the absence of an enabling strategic environment.
No one in the country denies that we must engage with China. However, it need not be an aimless exercise for the sake of showing continued diplomatic efforts by the government to either avoid uncomfortable questions or to glorify the existence of our diplomatic corps. If we critically analyse the various senior-level talks in the last few years, it emerges that these engagements have failed miserably in achieving the desired results. The prime minister's visit to China is no exception. The timing of the visit gives an impression of filling the blanks created by the concerned ministry as our leadership lacks credibility and conviction in its last leg and the Chinese will be unable to take it seriously.
It is disturbing to note that our policy has always been reactive and lacks any evidence of long-term planning. Policymakers have become too bookish and developed a sense of inflexibility and arrogance due to their self-acclaimed view of being the only ones who understand foreign policy. The notings on government files, which are analysed and later approved, reflect the same hackneyed view, so they do not tackle dynamic challenges facing the country.
China is an enigma to our politicians and diplomats; so much so that they become incomprehensibly cautious in their approach during every routine or exclusive interaction, whether in-house or at international forums. It is time that our politicians and diplomats got over the 1962 "syndrome" and evolved a national vision to fashion and project our national capability towards ensuring adequate security and economic growth at the level we deserve.
Why are we unable to deal with China as a neighbour with equal reciprocal respect? Why do our leaders and diplomatic corps exhibit an embarrassing inferiority complex while dealing with China? There is an overpowering section of officials who successfully create a façade of likely strong reaction from China and its extraordinary capability, which inhibits the government from projecting our national personality as per our actual standing. Let us avoid overblown scenarios of what might happen if China flexes its muscles. Many such scenarios are grossly overstated and used to support a specific point of view that is neither realistic nor dynamic.
China is an upcoming international power and well understands its place among the comity of nations. Therefore, we need to continue our growth process along with the development of national power to be able to deal with our economic and security concerns with dignity. Let us reflect on the important issues that need to be considered while dealing with China.
First, border management. The world knows, as does China, that we are a …continued »

Backstage with Baldy
Arras – July 3rd
When you generally get to sleep around 3:00 A.M. each morning, a surefire way to start your day off poorly is to be awakened at 6:12 A.M. by a flurry of text messages from Jerry Cantrell.
But that's how my day started in Arras, France.
Jerry wanted to go golfing and was wondering where the bus was, since that's where his clubs were.
I gave him the information he was looking for and attempted to go back to sleep, but it was too late.
It was light outside, I had woken up, and I decided to do what I do best in the early morning; hate.
So I spent the next hour or so hating Jerry and hating my job and hating the game of golf and just basically not liking anything.
Even though we've come thousands of miles around the world and had our internal clocks readjusted in the process, mornings are still tough at times, especially when you have to wake up and operate on three hours of sleep.
But I soon leveled off and remembered that I love Jerry and I love my job (I remain ambivalent toward the game of golf), and my good mood returned as we arrived at the site of the Main Square Festival.
It's held on the grounds of an old citadel in the city, which is a cool site for a concert.
However, the Vauban Citadel in Arras, France was constructed in the 1600's, and if you're a student of old abandoned French citadels like I am, you know the terrifying word that comes next – cobblestones.
I'm not sure what the members of the French army were doing back in the 1600's, but it wasn't running Mike Inez's wristbands from the production office to the dressing room in low top Adidas.
Cobblestone's are basically nature's way of saying, "I'm going to twist your ankle for you, but I'm just not going to say when."
For me, it was right before Alice's set, after I'd been running around all day long and had gotten a false sense of confidence.
Fortunately it wasn't bad though, so after limping it off for a minute, I was right back to work.
Part of that work was helping Jerry put together the set list for the show.
If you hang around Jerry Cantrell long enough, he'll occasionally hit you with a quality quote to put in your blog.
We were putting the finishing touches on the set list for Arras when he said, "A good set list has to have artistic fury, with just a sliver of sensitivity."
I thought to myself, "Damn, he just described the band, not the set list.
So as I wrap up this French flavored version of the blog, I think there are three valuable lessons to be gleaned from it:
Waking up at six A.M. is a guaranteed way to start your day off poorly.
Walking rapidly from the dressing room to the stage on cobblestones is a guaranteed way to twist your ankle.
And coming out to see Alice In Chains in concert is a guaranteed way to be slapped in the eardrums with artistic fury, mingled with a slight sliver of sensitivity.

In recent seasons, the yellow jersey has still been up for grabs going into the final time trial. If that's the case again, this course could prove an inspired choice. anyone who's got some significant strength left in their legs will feature today. The rolling course, which includes the opening part of the climb to chamrousse, won't overly favour time trial specialists such as Fabian Cancellara, but will appeal to the likes of the Schleck brothers, who should be able to take some advantage of their prowess on the hills. The podium places will finally be settled today.

FEMALE Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis) have found a way to mate with their preferred partners while keeping the troupe's dominant males happy: they all have sex at the same time.
Like women, female macaques show no external sign of when they are fertile. Analysis of female macaques' dung can reveal fertility, though. When Ines Fürtbauer of the University of Göttingen, Germany, did this in a wild troupe in Thailand she found that females do not synchronise their cycles, but nevertheless tended to mate on the same day as each other.
Dominant males cannot mate with them all in one day, so the other females may mate with a preferred but low-ranking male. Because males cannot tell which females are fertile, the females may be secretly choosing who fathers their offspring (PLoS One, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0026144).

The AG-105EQ includes a custom preamp from Shadow with a sound so full you'll swear you're playing a full-sized guitar. The preamp also works through headphones and features a built-in tuner and a 1/8" aux-in for jamming with your MP3 player. With the new AG-105EQ from Traveler Guitar, you can take your full-scale acoustic/electric playing experience anywhere.

First LA and NOW LONDON ENGLAND?
Wake up Jacksonville! Let's all stop trying to put some sort of positive macroeconomic spin on Shod Kahn offshoring 12.5% of our Jaguars entertainment. Football is entertainment pure and simple and there is no acceptable reason for taking away 1 of our 8 annual football games. Anyone who thinks that Kahn is doing this for the long term success of Jacksonville and it's NFL franchise and not solely for his personal wealth needs to have their head examined.
The only acceptable England solution would be to give away a preseason game. Now there's an idea, give away a game that no one over here cares about. Couldn't Kahn accomplish his stated goals while making this even better for the Jaguars fan? A game in August would allow fans to work the game into a summer vacation instead of having to make trades offs in October.
I didn't think I could find a non-NFL city that I'd hate to see the Jaguars interested in more than Los Angeles. But with their warm beer, inferior city infrastructure, prehistoric sporting venues, cow pasture golf courses, dreary weather, failed socialized healthcare and soccer hooligans (imagine an entire nation of fans who behave worse than Philadelphia Eagles fans), London, and England in general, has got to be one of the most annoying places in the world.
What about the financial impact to the Floridians who run private parking lots around the stadium? The beer vendors? The police's overtime pay? The ticket scalpers? The beer men? The concession workers and the charities that benefit from them? What about the impact to my happiness?
The story remains the same despite what Kahn does. This city needs to support the Jaguars or we won't have them. Ask yourself, does the loss of one of our precious eight games move the Jaguars closer to losing the team or keeping the team? I'm no longer "All In", I'm only 87.5% in (for those with only 3rd grade math skills, such as 96% of all people living in LA or London, 7 of 8 games remaining in Jacksonville equals 87.5%)
The Most of Everything ....(Except the NFL)
The Best of Nothing
The National Football League had multiple professional American football teams in Los Angeles, California between 1946 and 1994. Despite the fact that Los Angeles is the second-largest media market in the United States, all teams have failed.
In 1946, the Los Angeles Dons of the All-America Football Conference started play, lasting four years before folding with the demise of the AAFC. Also in 1946, the Cleveland Rams became the first NFL franchise to locate in Los Angeles. The Rams moved to Anaheim Stadium for 1980, and left southern California altogether in 1995 for St. Louis. The AFL founded the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960 but moved to San Diego the next year. The Oakland Raiders moved to Los Angeles in 1982, only to return to Oakland after the 1994 season.
Now Hollywood wants another chance to fail? They want to use their greedy overstuffed Hollywood wallets to bribe a football passionate smaller market town like Buffalo or Jacksonville?
Jacksonville says NO WAY LA!
Nothing spells loser better than the California Economy, the Laker fans rioting in the streets, the annoying whine of Jim Rome and LA trying to be an NFL city. Stick to making movies, playing volleyball, breathing your smog filled air, sitting in traffic and surfing in your frigid shark infested waters. I really think you west coasters have been smoking too much medical marijuana to think anyone, let alone a football team, would give up Florida for the hell you live in. The Jaguars are committed to Jacksonville and the sunshine state.
NO WAY LA! The JAGS belong to JAX!

GIANT planets orbit up to 8 per cent of all Sun-like stars, say astronomers in the US. The estimate comes not from counting planets directly, but from counting stars that appear to be swallowing planets.
When stars such as the Sun exhaust the hydrogen fuel in their centres and become bloated "red giants", they grow big enough to swallow any closely orbiting planets. This won't happen to the Sun for another 5 billion years or so. But Mario Livio and Lionel Siess of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, reason that since the red giant phase lasts a few hundred million years, other Sun-like stars should be gobbling up their planets at this very momentyielding clues about how many planets are out there.
They simulated what would happen if giant planets with masses comparable to that of Jupiter were gobbled by their stars, and found three strong markers. ...

Daily Tip: How to save your application data using appbackup [jailbreak]
How to back up application data is a question I get asked almost on a daily basis. This question seems to get asked even more frequently every time a new jailbreak is released. I never recommend restoring from a jailbroken backup, ever. It can bring all kinds of problems with it and cause crashes and freezes. I always recommend a new restore.
But what about all your game save data and other app data? If you don't restore from a backup, it's gone right? Not exactly. There's tons of reasons why you may need to completely restore your device. Whatever the reason is, appbackup is a huge aid that helps bring your application data with you.
Hit the jump for a walkthrough!
Cydia plays host to a wonderful little app called appbackup. It's free and will back up and save application data for any App Store apps you choose. As a side note, it will not save jailbroken data. There is another app lurking in the Cydia store that will aid you in doing that called aptbackup. We will look at that in a future tutorial.
What you'll need
- A currently jailbroken iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
- appbackup
- iPhone explorer or an SSH client of your choice on your Mac or PC. I recommend iPhone Explorer as it is dead simple to use and it's free.
Backing up App Store applications
- Download appback for free via Cydia.
- Launch appbackup. You'll be presented with a huge list of all App Store applications currently installed on your device.
- You have two options, you can save all application data or just choose certain application data to backup. I typically save only game data and data from apps that tend to be a pain when wiped clean. To save all, tap "All" in the bottom left hand corner. To selectively create backups, tap the name of the app you'd like to back up and click back up. Do this with all the apps you'd like to save your data from.
- You'll see the app save your data before displaying that it was successful. It's also worth noting you won't see a restore option until you have a backup saved for a specific application.
Obtaining your backups and transferring them to your Mac or PC
- Plug your device into your Mac or PC after you've created backups for all the apps you care to save.
- This is where you'll need to open either iPhone Explorer or SSH into your device. If you're not sure how to SSH, check out the guide referenced above. I still recommend iPhone Explorer, which is what I'm using in all screenshots.
- appbackup saves your backups in a specific file path. That path is as follows: /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/AppBackup
- You will need to navigate to the above file path. After you've found the folder, you'll need to make a copy of that folder on your Mac or PC. I typically keep them in a folder on my desktop called App Backups. However you choose to do it is fine as long as you save them in a location you'll remember. After you've found the folder, all you need to do in order to copy it to your computer is drag it to whatever save location you choose.
- You now have your backups saved in a secure location. Go ahead and restore your device as new and rejailbreak.
Restoring your application data to your device
- After restoring your device and rejailbreaking, go back into Cydia and re-install appbackup.
- Plug your device back into your computer and navigate back to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/AppBackup
- This time you will want to replace the AppBackup folder with the one you saved earlier. If iPhone Explorer or your SSH client prompts you, choose to overwrite or replace the file. Just make sure you are copying it in the correct directory.
- Now launch appbackup on your device. In the bottom left hand corner, tap "All" and choose "Restore". It will restore all your application save data from your backup.
- You're done! You can now enjoy playing Angry Birds and all your other games exactly where you left off!

Daily Tip: How to save your application data using appbackup [jailbreak]
Great suggestion, I used the method in the link/URL below; by accessing the root directory and copying the Library>Documents Folder
Worked like a charm!
@iMacker - how do you restore using your method? There's not much on that website.
I actually wrote this before iOS 4.3.1 was jailbroken. I was on 4.2.1. Hopefully it will be updated.
same, dosnt seem to work on 4.3 :(
Too bad. It doesn't work with 4.3.1, at least gave me an idea on what to do.
in a word, its got access to data other than its own, ie out of the sandbox, so its dead in the water as far as apple approval goes.
Though i do agree that apple should provide more granular support for this kind of stuff, ie being able to wipe phone but only restore data for apps X Y Z.
Thats right it does NOT YET WORK in 4.3.1. I did the backup and am waiting for the fix to it to restore. Its a call to a shared lib PyObjC that is failing. Potentially other apps that use it are also broken. Kudos for the explanation in this article for explaining how to get the backups off the device before starting the restore. IMO all JB articles leave off big holes in what has to be done - like copying off the backup before the device gets wiped. Then we find out what is missing the hard way.
This program has helped me out in the past. (I'm still on 4.2.1) I used to swear by a program called Chronus it had a few more features like the ability to email your backup to you. But I really liked that you could go through and 'select' which apps you wanted to backup up and then hit the backup button. It is a great way to save time while backing up, choose only the programs you need and press the backup button and walk away for a few minutes and do something else. With appbackup it is back them all up at once or back them up one at a time. I hope they update it for 4.3.1 and add some new features, the program seems a little long in the tooth.
TiPb should check out a jailbreak app called iBye. It's the best backup app I've seen :D
I'll check it out! Thanks!
Is it iOS 4.3.1 compatible? If it is, that may be a better one to go with for now.
Fantastic!!! I've been looking for something like this for a long time, unbelivable I haven't found it before. I'll try it out!!
Apple doesn't expect you to create a new phone if you want your old data. They expect you to restore your backup
In iTunes, just like I've done with every iPhone since the original, even though all of them have been jailbroken.
It's possible to do this without appbackup or even jailbreaking (though a bit more complicated): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/41631/how-to-backup-and-copy-data-between...
This is Awesome! Thank you!
@ Allyson, i'm running Mac OS X 10.6 on a brand new iMac and iOS 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4 (JB of course). I am not seeing the preferences folder inside of the root folder (using iPhone explorer). in fact, you've got a lot more folders inside your root folder than i do. is there something else that i should have done? i followed your tutorial step by step. please help!
UPDATE: ok i finally got to preferences, but appbackup is not showing up... just SystemConfiguration folder and a "PLIST"
What theme is that running? It looks great!
Thanks, very helpful.
Does AppBackup restore the apps or just the save files? After I restore and re-jailbreak, would I need to redownload Angry Birds, or will AppBackup automatically install it on my device?
You didnt mention iTunes. Im asuming that we should back up with iTunes, then clean restore, then sync with iTunes (to get all your apps back) then do the AppBackup?? Thanks for posting tutorials but i think this one is incomplete.
Hi there, i just needed to drop you a line to say that i thoroughly enjoyed this detailed post of yours, I have subscribed to your RSS feeds and have skimmed a few of your posts before but this one really stood out for me. I know that I am just a stranger to you but I figured you might appreciate the admiration Take care and keep blogging.

It is sitting in a download file and when I attempt to load it into mldx I get an error message. This is the message: Error: INSERT failed to prepare INSERT statement. Below that it says "library out of sequence". Anyone know what Im doing wrong? thanks.... Malcolm
