mplayer & xmms problems!
When I use mplayer to play any video format using the standard "xv" driver or use the mpeg layer plugin on xmms after a period of time (varies) i end up with the video stream in the top left hand corner of the screen, with a seriously green tinge. Also on the screen is the last frame or so of the stream which flickers back and forth ........
On restarting X this problem is fixed (but if you're trying to watch a 2-3 hour film and having to restart X every 5-30 min, you give up fairly quickly)
You may also note that the problem does not occour when using other drivers ... gl2 and x11 are 2 which I've tried for a number of hours with no side effects.
I am running Debian with kernel version 2.4.19-pre8-ac5, and compiled the most recent drivers with gcc version 2.95.4.
My mother board is an ASUS A7V motherboard, with a 4x AGP slot ... having read somewhere in the documentation that there were problems with writing to the card at this speed, the bios has set the speed to 2x ...... the error did not disapear however.
This error occoured after an upgrade i did which involved the upgrading of many things including the driver, but after downgrading to an older driver i still get the same problem.
This would all imply that there's a configuration file somewhere that's messed up, but i've played with XF86Config-4 extensively, but with no success.
If anyone could help I'd be very grateful ....
many thanks
I had a problem similar to this when I used Xv from XawTV. But I only had this problem when I was using th stock "nv" driver from XFree86 4.1.0. As soon as I started using the "nvidia" driver, the problem went away.
Is running mplayer without Xv an option? This might slow things down, but if you use "-vm" on the SDL drvier and have the appropriate video modes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. (Assuming it's possible to disable Xv)
well ... firstly can i assure you that I'm using the driver "nvidia" rather than "nv" (or at least that's what my XF86Config-4 says!)
Secondly ... using xv is not required by mplayer. As mentioned in my first post, it's the only vo that's produced this effect. Unfortunately, xmms does not have the option of altering the driver ... and this continually causes problems.
x11, gl2 and other mplayer vo's work fine, and although things do slow down, it's not (usually) so much so that i'm unable to watch the media. However, every so often mplayer uses 100% of the 1Gz Athlon cycles, and the media becomes un-watchable.
The SDL driver has some unfortunate drawbacks with it ... the most obvious being that you are unable to use the keyboard or switch screens.
This isn't really a case of "need to fix", but a case of "isn't doing what it should be doing, and although there are work-arounds in some cases, it's VERY annoying"
I've a friend who has the same hardware as I do (with some extras) but only a 900MHz Athlon CPU and his mplayer seems perfectly stable. I can't see why there should be a difference in the stability, and it's left me truely perplexed!:confused:
I'm not an expert or anything (on anything =), so I really can't help. Just thought I'd throw my experiences out there in the off chance that you were having a similar problem... =(
It's just a thought, but could there be something missing / in my kernel that's causing this problem?
I'm sure there are other config files around that could cause problems, do you know of any?
mplayer & nvidia
I have been using Nvidia drivers and Mplayer for a long time, and I never found this bug.
I have a standard machine, PII, intel chipset 440B, and TNT2 M64 ( perhaps your error only appears with AMD)
Have you tried to diferent AGP drivers?
In my case, NVidia's AGP is a good solution, perhaps in your case, is better use AGP-gart from kernel.
I recommend you add MTRR (Memory Type Range Registers ) when compile your Kernel, and RTC ( Real Time Clock ), and of course, choose your processor ;)
For compile Mplayer ( I use cvs version with ffmpeg codecs ) I never had a problem with gcc-2.96 ( Redhat version )
Have you tried append "mem=nopentium" in you lilo or grub ?? ( but I think this only was for hanging with AMD )
And, perhaps, another problem, is a incompatibility with xscreensaver. (try to dissable screensaver )
If screensaver start when playing a movie, I don't know the results, but, if I start 2 mplayers, the background movie is a blue screen, and sometimes, two movies are a blue screens.
What version of mplayer are you using??

Gossip Girl
Martha Stewart: Blake Lively Was a "Very Gorgeous" Bride
Martha Stewart, a New York neighbor of Gossip Girl's Blake Lively (Serena) and her new husband, Ryan Reynolds, is speaking out about her relationship with the couple and their stunning wedding!
According to Us Weekly, Martha Stewart and the couple "hang out." "[They] are the nicest couple. And very, very modest and nice, contrary to the parts they play," Martha said of the super sexy duo.
We wonder what the threesome does when they hang out. Perhaps they cook? Martha called Blake a "groovy cook ... She makes fabulous things. I got invited for an ice cream soda party!"
First an invite to an ice cream soda party and then an invite to a wedding! On Sept. 9, Martha joined guests in South Carolina to watch Blake walk down the aisle in a one-of-a-kind Marchesa gown. Martha recalls that Blake made a "very gorgeous" bride. But what about Ryan? Martha calls him "a very gorgeous groom."
We can only imagine how pretty those wedding pictures are.

GIANT strawberries could be coming to a supermarket near you by the turn of the century. The strawberries, which are almost the size of pears, are being developed in East Malling, Kent, by Horticulture Research International, a government-funded research institute.
Already, says Richard Simpson, the institute's head strawberry breeder, whoppers around 6.5 centimetres across are on sale in California. Not to be outdone, Simpson and his colleagues are now breeding a rival that will grow in harsher, European climates. They have produced strawberries of equal girth to the Californian ones.
The team at East Malling is relying on conventional breeding techniques rather than genetic engineering to swell the fruit. By combining varieties from Europe and North America that already produce big fruit, they have created still larger berries.
The first strawberry growing on a plant is always the largest, and size diminishes progressively as more flowering stems, or "trusses", grow ...

Naeem Davis arrested for alleged death of NYC subway rider
NEW YORK (AP/WJLA) - A homeless man was arrested Wednesday in the death of a subway rider who was pushed onto the tracks and photographed just before a train struck him.
Naeem Davis, 30, was taken into custody for questioning Tuesday after security video showed a man fitting the suspect's description working with street vendors near Rockefeller Center. Police said Davis made statements implicating himself in Ki-Suck Han's death.
Davis was arrested on a second-degree murder charge and has plenty of priors. He was in custody, and it wasn't immediately clear if he had a lawyer. It wasn't clear when he'd appear in court.
Witnesses told investigators they saw a man talking to himself Monday afternoon before he approached the 58-year-old Han of Queens at the Times Square station, got into an altercation with him and pushed him into the train's path.
The New York Post published a photo on its front page Tuesday of Han with his head turned toward the train, his arms reaching up but unable to climb off the tracks in time. It was shot by freelance photographer R. Umar Abbasi, who was waiting to catch a train.
Abbasi told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday that he was trying to alert the motorman to what was going on by flashing his camera.
He said he was shocked that people nearer to the victim didn't try to help in the 22 seconds before the train struck.
"It took me a second to figure out what was happening ... I saw the lights in the distance. My mind was to alert the train," Abbasi said.
"The people who were standing close to him ... they could have moved and grabbed him and pulled him up. No one made an effort," he added.
"It is scary," said Uma Amruthur, a D.C. resident. "It is scary of course. It could happen to anyone."
Abbasi stood, watched a,nd snapped nearly 50 photos of Han's futile efforts to save his life from the oncoming train.
"It's just common sense. Jesus Christ, it's a life. How could you not have put the camera down?" ased Alex Torres.
Abbasi's photos only highlighted the photographer's decision not to help.
"I probably would have reached for him instead of taking a picture," said Charlotte Griggs of D.C. "I don't know if I would have gotten killed, but I would have made an effort to pull him from the train tracks."
"I'd like to think that I would try to help him out, but until you're in that situation…" said Jeff Crary, also of D.C.

1/2 cup
1 cup
chopped celery
1 cup
chopped onion
1 (1 pound) loaf
French bread, torn into small pieces
1 tablespoon
rubbed sage, or to taste
egg whites, beaten
1/2 cup
frozen cranberries, chopped
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
1/2 cup
chopped almonds
1/2 cup
chopped pecans
1 (14.5 ounce) can
chicken broth
Made this in the crockpot and stuffed the bird with it for Thanksgiving this year. There wasn't a single drop left over. Note: I used fresh cranberries halved and all of the nuts that were called for as well as the full can of broth in the crock pot.
I thought this recipe sounded interesting but was a bit disappointed in the end with both the flavor, which was not very distinctive (maybe needed more cranberries?), and the appearance, which was kind of pinkish-gray in color. I think I would prefer whole cranberries in my stuffing so that you could tell and taste what they were.
9 Ratings
I've made this two years in a row and everyone goes absolutely crazy about it! People preferred to catered stuffing last year and over my mom's amazing age old traditional stuffing this year. Even my dad who doesn't like nuts or cranberries absolutely loved this stuffing. I made both years with a fresh loaf of multigrain bread - it's the move.
Absolute hit, used fresh whole cranberries instead of frozen. Turned out Great. Thanks for the idea.
I used fresh berries and this ruins it..way to strong
First off we really liked the nuts in this stuffing, the cranberries, not so much. This recipe is not false advertisement as he states that it is tangy in his description. That being said, if you love the tartness of cranberries you will probably enjoy this stuffing. I used fresh cranberries and cut them in half. I would also add extra rubbed sage and other stuffing spices you enjoy and use the whole can of chicken broth.

Pak Ui Chun Greets Mexican FM
| Pyongyang, September 14 (KCNA) -- DPRK Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun sent a message of greetings to Patricia Espinosa Cantellano, foreign minister of Mexico, on Sept. 4 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the DPRK and Mexico.
Noting that the two countries have favorably developed the bilateral relations while respecting and cooperating with each other in the idea of independence, peace and friendship for over the past three decades, the message expressed belief that the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries would continue to grow stronger on the principles of respect for sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit in the future, too.

As prime minister (1834, 1835-39, 1839-41) his views brought him support from Whigs and moderate Tories, and he excluded radicals from his ministries. He conceded such reforms as amendment of the poor law (1834), the Municipal Corporations Act (1835), and liberalization of the Canadian government. He was also conciliatory in his policy toward Ireland. However, he resisted further parliamentary reform and repeal of the corn laws.
Melbourne viewed the prime ministership as a supervisory position; cabinet members, such as Lord Palmerston, played a vital role in developing policy. Handsome and urbane, Melbourne was a favorite of the young Queen Victoria and taught her important lessons in statecraft. It was at her request that he returned to office (1839) after Sir Robert Peel resigned over a disagreement with the queen.
Melbourne's wife, Lady Caroline Lamb, 1785-1828, was clever and beautiful, but also eccentric, impulsive, and indiscreet. She is remembered less for the minor novels that she wrote than for her love affair with Lord Byron. Lady Caroline and her husband separated in 1825.
See Lord Melbourne's papers (ed. by L. C. Sanders, 1889, repr. 1971); biography of him by Lord David Cecil (1954, repr. 1965); biography of his wife by H. Blyth (1972).
Settled in 1835, it was named (1837) for Lord Melbourne, the British prime minister. From 1901 to 1927 the city was the seat of the Australian federal government. The population, once primarily British, has changed since World War II with immigration from E and S Europe and, more recently, Asia.
Melbourne has campuses of several universities, including the Univ. of Melbourne (1853), Monash Univ. (1958), and La Trobe Univ. (1964). Melbourne Technical College, the Australian Ballet School, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Melbourne Museum, and the galleries and theaters of the Victorian Arts Centre also are in the city. Melbourne is the seat of Roman Catholic and Anglican archbishops. Attractive parks, including the notable Royal Botanic Gardens and Melbourne Zoo; the bustling Queen Victoria Market; and the cultural and commercial Federation Square complex draw both tourists and residents. The Melbourne Cup horse race is run annually at Flemington Racecourse, and the city hosts a Formula One Grand Prix race. Melbourne was the site of the 1956 summer Olympic games.
Melbourne is a city in Izard County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 1,673 at the 2000 census. The town is the county seat of Izard County, and home to the main campus of Ozarka College.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.2 square miles (16.2 km²), all of it land.
There were 736 households out of which 25.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 45.1% were married couples living together, 13.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 39.0% were non-families. 35.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 17.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.15 and the average family size was 2.78.
In the city the population was spread out with 21.9% under the age of 18, 9.9% from 18 to 24, 24.4% from 25 to 44, 22.7% from 45 to 64, and 21.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 40 years. For every 100 females there were 83.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 76.5 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $22,757, and the median income for a family was $31,900. Males had a median income of $23,529 versus $18,264 for females. The per capita income for the city was $13,110. About 14.5% of families and 18.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 25.9% of those under age 18 and 21.9% of those age 65 or over.

News (nation) for 10/12
An article titled: "Roadside bomb in Iraq kills provincial police chief and 2 guards," was posted on the Star Tribune website.
A convoy carrying the police chief of a predominantly shiite province was struck by a roadside bomb. The police chief was killed in the attack, which occured 60 miles south of Baghdad. After the attack police announced an indefinite curfew for the area. It is believed that the attack was staged by one of the local militias that are wrestling for control after U.S. troops leave. It was one of a series of assasinations on provincial leaders in the shiite area.
I think this article did a good job of not only explaining what happened, but also putting it in context. So many things are happening in Iraq that it is hard to keep track of everything, so it's important for reports to sum up all activity leading up to the actual event they are reporting. This is especially important because in Iraq everything seems to be in a cause/effect relationship. One attack comes in retalitation of another attack, so readers need to get the whole history to fully understand a specific event.
The article was also posted on the hearald sun.com.

TBS will get the wild card single game play-ins; MLB Network to get some division series games
May 17, 2012, 12:31 PM EDT
MLB is going to hold a conference call for media to this effect here in a minute, but Richard Sandomir already has the scoop: TBS will broadcast the two wild card play-in games in both 2012 and 2013.
On a personal level I like this because I simply prefer TBS' baseball production to FOX's. I will sort of regret not being able to hear Joe Buck talk about how the one-game playoffs are just like the NFL playoffs and how much better and exciting it is.
This, from MLB's press release that just came in, I'm less happy about:
MLB Network will exclusively televise two Division Series games in each of the next two years, marking the first time MLB Network will air live Postseason games. MLB Network has produced weekly original game telecasts since its inaugural season in 2009.
As a person who has one of the few cable carriers in the country who does not carry MLB Network, allow me to say: bah!
UPDATE: I was just informed — by a friend at MLB Network of all places — that my cable company does have it. It's only in single def, so it's not ideal, but I do have it. Amazingly, my cable company never mentioned it and still says "we're working on it" when I call them to ask them to carry MLB. So I guess if they themselves didn't know they had it, I can be excused for not realizing I had it.
- natstowngreg - May 17, 2012 at 12:39 PM
Same as when the NFL chose to provide its equivalent of MLB Extra Innings on the dish. They chose the broadcasting option designed to reach the fewest fans.
- El Bravo - May 17, 2012 at 12:39 PM
So I wonder if I purchase the MLB.tv postseason package if they will still black out the TBS games, making the purchase pretty worthless….bah indeed.
- plummer2512 - May 17, 2012 at 12:39 PM
I have no problem with this but of course I have the MLB Network. Hopefully this will force cable providers to get MLB Network or those without the station to get it as well.
I love that Buck won't be telecasting the games. He makes my ears bleed.

Cable carrier? Direct TV. Done and done.
- The Rabbit - May 17, 2012 at 2:21 PM
I'm jealous. My cable carrier doesn't offer the MLB network here in Brigadoon. It's too busy changing its name so it sounds like a media provider.
- xmatt0926x - May 17, 2012 at 3:07 PM
I don't mind the TBS game crews. It's that awful post-game show I can't take. It's so bland. The only guy with any personality is David Wells and his analysis is brutal. He's like a guy who just had a few too many drinks at a bar, which is fine, but it makes for bad game analysis.
- foreverchipper10 - May 17, 2012 at 4:46 PM
Come on Craig, the Braves fan in you is also a little nostalgic towards games being televised on TBS. Don't hide it.
- hojo20 - May 17, 2012 at 6:50 PM
I'm not paying for an extra tier of cable just for a couple games on MLB. Let me know who wins.
- Reflex - May 18, 2012 at 3:41 AM
Sucks for people who do not have cable or sat tv at all. Like me. As much as I hate 99% of what is on Fox, baseball is the one thing I watch from them.

Fantastic recipe! Followed it exactly but I baked mine in the oven at 375 for 20 mins and then turned on the broiler for about 5 mins. The meat came out very juicy w/ a little char on the edges ...
These were awesome. Followed the recipe exactly. Used boneless ribs. The extra thing I did was after I marinaded the ribs for 36 hours, I poured it all in a saucepan - boiled it and then cook...
This is a great recipe. I make this dish quite often and usually marinate the meat with rice wine(if you don't have it you can use red wine or beer) and a cup of grated apple or kiwi or pineappl...

Wolfpack Set to Open Fall at Bulldog Classic
Sept. 19, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. - The NC State women's tennis team will travel to Athens, Ga., for the Bulldog Classic this Friday-Sunday, Sept. 20-22 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. The four-team tournament, hosted by the University of Georgia, will feature singles and doubles play in a round robin format.
The Wolfpack will bring nine players to Athens, including senior Joelle Kissell who is ranked No. 45 in the ITA's preseason singles rankings.
"We are looking forward to starting our season in Athens," Wolfpack head coach Hans Olsen said. "It's a pretty unique situation because we would also like to end our season in Athens as well."
Olsen is referring to the 2014 NCAA Championships which take place in May 2014 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens. Along with Kissell, the Wolfpack brings back six players from last season's squad. State also welcomes two new freshmen to the team in 2013.
"We are going to use this tournament to figure out our best singles players and doubles pairings," Olsen said.
NC State begins play at 10 a.m. on Friday, with doubles versus Georgia. Following that match, the Pack will play doubles against Old Dominion before closing the day out with singles versus South Florida. Matches will continue Saturday as State faces doubles competition versus Old Dominion and then singles play against South Florida. The Wolfpack will close out tournament play on Sunday with singles competition against the host Bulldogs.

The Futurama was an exhibit/ride at the 1939-40 New York World's Fair held in the USA, designed by Norman Bel Geddes that tried to show the world 20 years into the future (1960), including automated highways and vast suburbs. The exhibit was sponsored by General Motors. Compared to other "visions of the future", Bel Geddes' was rather achievable - the most advanced technology posited was the automated highway system, of which GM did indeed build a working prototype by 1960.
The Futurama is widely held to have first introduced the general American public to the concept of a network of superhighways connecting the nation. Bel Geddes expounded upon his design in his book Magic Motorways.
An updated version, Futurama II, appeared at the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair. The 1964 version depicted life 60 years into the future, this time 2024. Scenes showed a lunar base of operation, an Antarctic "Weather Central" climate forecasting center, underseas exploration and "Hotel Atlantis" for underseas vacationing, desert irrigation, and land reclamation, building roads in the jungle and a City of the Future. Visitors rode through the dioramas in 3-abreast chairs on a ride train. The Futurama exhibit was again sponsored by General Motors and proved to be the most popular exhibit at the World's Fair with more than 26 million persons attending the show in the two 6-month seasons the Fair was open. Waiting lines were often two hours long and longer.
The Futurama is featured in Steven Barnes' novelization of the popular Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Far Beyond the Stars". In addition, the animated series Futurama was named after the 1939 exhibit.

Choi, S.-H.; (2006) Design and analysis for TCP-friendly window-based congestion control. Doctoral thesis, University of London.
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
The current congestion control mechanisms for the Internet date back to the early 1980's and were primarily designed to stop congestion collapse with the typical traffic of that era. In recent years the amount of traffic generated by real-time multimedia applications has substantially increased, and the existing congestion control often does not opt to those types of applications. By this reason, the Internet can be fall into a uncontrolled system such that the overall throughput oscillates too much by a single flow which in turn can lead a poor application performance. Apart from the network level concerns, those types of applications greatly care of end-to-end delay and smoother throughput in which the conventional congestion control schemes do not suit. In this research, we will investigate improving the state of congestion control for real-time and interactive multimedia applications. The focus of this work is to provide fairness among applications using different types of congestion control mechanisms to get a better link utilization, and to achieve smoother and predictable throughput with suitable end-to-end packet delay.

Bank On It: Plan In Works to Sweep Bank Abuses Under the Rug… Forever
A power play is underway in the foreclosure arena, according to the New York Times. On the one side is Eric Schneiderman, the New York Attorney General, who is conducting his own investigation into the era of securitizations – the practice of chopping up assets like mortgages and converting them into saleable securities – that led up to the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
On the other side is the Obama administration, the banks, and all the other state attorneys general. This second camp has cooked up a deal that would allow the banks to walk away with just a seriously discounted fine from a generation of fraud that led to millions of people losing their homes. The idea behind this federally-guided "settlement" is to concentrate and centralize all the legal exposure accrued by this generation of grotesque banker corruption in one place, put one single price tag on it that everyone can live with, and then stuff the details into a titanium canister before shooting it into deep space.
This is all about protecting the banks from future enforcement actions on both the civil and criminal sides. The plan is to provide year-after-year, (more…)

Duramax trucks have the unique ability to able to be tuned to switch between 5 different tunes while driving. This can be helpful for different vehicle usages, road conditions, or simply valet. If you can dream it up, odds are that we can tune for it.
EFILive General info:This tuning suite is nothing short of incredible. The edit/tune software will keep you busy for days just playing around learning all the cool new stuff you can do. No other tuner, programmer, or module box can hold a candle to this package. You, the user can personally command changes to fuel pressure, fuel quanity, desired boost pressure, shift speed, rev limit, speed limit, torque management, and many many more. Unlike traditional tuning boxes which may offer three or ten tunes to choose from, EFILive allows the user to build and test as many tunes as he like. Sell all of your other modules, foolers, gadgets. EFILive is the last tuning tool you'll need.
Along with the edit software, purchasers will receive a world class scan tool that allows real time data collection from all vehicle sensors (compatible with most GM vehicles newer than '98). The scan tool gives the user insight into areas of the tune in need of adjustment, which means the calibration can be adjusted to get the best out of your particular engine/trans combination.
Your tune requests should describe the rear wheel horsepower numbers, you're looking for and also any modifications to the truck, and it's intended usage (trailering, sled pulling, drag racing,multipurpose ect.). 400RWHP is pushing the limit on a stock trans and over 425RWHP it's recommended to add a lift pump. Please download the current software release from EFILive before plugging the flashscan module into your computer to avoid driver problems. See the wiring instructions for the DSP5 setup if you'd like to use the rotary switch. Your tune will already be converted and ready for you to load into the truck when you receive it back from us. The tunes supplied by Duramaxtuner.com are exclusive to our site. They have been tested and refined; they run smooth and shift well. We take pride in our product and want to make sure you're happy with your purchase. Please call 812-344-4421 if something isn't going as planned.
VERY IMPORTANT: Always attempt a .cal reflash before attempting a full O.S. reflash your first time flashing the ECM. Also, disconnect power to all after-market electronics, and disconnect all module type boxes (Edge, Banks, ect.) in the truck before using EFILive (they may be reconnected afterward but using them to add power is not advisable).

official P.N. dough recipe
has anyone made their dough following the quidelines outlines in the official Pizza Napolitana document listed on this site?
everything seems sensible but the salt quantity:
also, has anyone ever used the "Belaria" brand pizza flour? james, did you ever see this one in italy? i got it at a local italian grocery specalist, but as i'm only now mixing the dough, i can't say how good it is.
1800 grams of flour is 4 pounds. 55 grams of salt is almost 2 ounces, or as much as you would put in a salt shaker. Seems way too salty to me.
the belaria flour worked great. i couldn't believe the consistency--it was really more like pastry dough than any pizza dough i've ever worked with, yet it tossed out to size beautifully. as a matter of fact, the gram measurement they provided for a proper P.N. pettola (180-150g per doughball) was way too thick to get a really thin crust. i tossed the first 180g doughball to about 18" , with perfect shape and elasticity, and ended up having to reball it for later because it was too big to fit on my peel. 100-125g worked much better for me.
once i get a really good dough routine worked out, i'll post my working interpretation of the instructions layed out in the document.
by the way, this recipe has worked wonderfully for me. at this point, i just adjust the amount of water occording to how many doughballs i want (1 liter + 1800g flour gives me about 11 balls.), then add the flour until the consistency is right, but the instructions layed out in the document provided a great starting point. the primary factor in this dough being so great, is the belaria pizza flour. the dough has the appearance of pastry dough, but is glutenous enough to be very stretchy.
i usually let the dough rise for about 3-4 hours, then ball it and let it proof for 2 hours. it is important to know exactly when it's ready, or is becomes too stretchy and hard to get onto the peel after topping. i usually use it as soon as i can make an indentation in the dough ball that doesn't pop back up. really, experience ends up teaching you what works best, though.

Customer reviews
By Alaiel Kreuz 08 Nov 2012
It's always difficult to do a review of a book that is part of a series without writing spoilers so I'm really sorry if my review is kind of short. But I'll try to make it as interesting as I can 'cause, you know, this book deserves it all.
In the first book, Sins of the Angels, we only see the small picture. The book itself is like the foundation that will lead to this book which gives us a sneak peek of the big (bigger) picture. And I'm saying sneak peek because I believe that although Sins of the Son shows us some light the third book will give us the whole perspective.
The main difference with this book is that the plot doesn't focus on Alex and Aramael (which was kind of sad considering I like him a lot) but it does focus on Alex and Seth. Remember him? We already know that he is the son of God (which, if you remember, is a she) but this time he has made a choice that puts him in a very difficult situation: he decided to come back to Earth and be with Alex but something went deadly wrong and as Seth can't remember a thing about his past he becomes a deadly weapon for all humanity.
Which is why Alex leaves everything behind and tracks him down to help him. After all, Aramael is dead (or so she believes) and she doesn't really know what to do with her life.
But Armageddon is coming and every second counts. Now all the strings are moving and as we see the story from God and Lucifer's POV we will have a marvelous front row seat in discovering their motivations, secrets and darkest motives. Which both of them have. And we will wonder: who is actually in control? Why is God always so sad?º
What is the truth behind all this is a question I asked myself throughout the whole book.
As for the ending... the only thing I'm going to say about it is that it'll leave you with your heart aching and hoping to read the next book soon (and it will never be soon enough).

I took a closer look at the small number of photos we took during our first hive inspection on July 31st, specifically this photo (which, by the way, shows an excellent brood pattern; the queen in that hive is doing well). I looked closely to see if I could spot the queen. I couldn't, but I did notice a drone bee. So for your edification, here's a drone bee. Drones are easy to spot because they're thick and have a big black head. Drones are male bees whose only purpose is to mate once with a queen. If they don't mate, they just hang around the hive and get fed. All the drones are kicked out of the hive to freeze to death as winter kicks in because they're useless over the winter. The colony, through a laying working bee, will produce new drones from unfertilized eggs in the spring for any new queens who need to mate in a hurry. 'Tis the life of a drone.
UPDATE (Nov. 18/10): I posted this video of a drone bee walking around my hand. It shows in more detail how dark and thick drones can be. A worker bee looks like a little baby next to a drone.
UPDATE (Dec. 22/10): I recently learned through a comment that our bees are a hybrid of Italians, Russians and Carniolans. Carniolans produce large drones with all-black abdomens, which is apparent in our drones.

What happens to bees in the winter? Do they hibernate?

Motorcycle Batteries .. AGM, GEL, Wet, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)
View Single Post
Beastly Adventurer
Joined: Sep 2011
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Oddometer: 6,437
soldered in new brushes, then checked voltage with motor running.
@ 3k rpm, 14.2v without load... 13.8v under about 14 amp load (engine, lights, heated grips on high) alternator putting 19.5 amps to battery at 3,000 rpm with or without above load.
charging system is working fine, no change after replacing brushes.
voltage regulator set for lead acid is too low to fully charge li-ion battery under load.
Sunday's 106 miles ride had several hours runtime. speeds was medium, rpms high. ran the motor hard! bright warm sunny day, headlight & taillight, ignition was only load on system. there was more than ample runtime to fully charge li-ion battery.
final voltage after a 106 mile bike ride with only lights on (heated jacket, grips, gloves on for last 20 minutes) was 13.2v or 70% charged for lithium iron phosphate battery.
conclusion is voltage regulator needs to be raised to 14.4v to fully charge li-ion battery. running any type load. that will reduce voltage down to 13.8v or lower. note conclusion is for this BMW R80G/S .. your bike's charging system may be different. but if your li-ion battery is not starting your bike cold and you are running heated gear. this could be part of the problem.
there is a HUGE difference between starting your bike with 13.20v vs 13.5v ... lithium iron phosphate discharge is very flat and only veri by about 1/2V for 80% of it's capacity.
Lead acid is fully charged at about 12.85v vs li-ion is fully charged at 14.4v then quickly scrubs off voltage to about 13.5v. don't discharge below 12.86v (DOD 80%) Charging systems are designed to fully charge lead acid batteries without damage. to optimize your bike for li-ion, voltage regulator should be raised to 14.4v.
hopefully tonight will drop to low 30's for a legit starter load test in the morning. topped Shorai LFX21 AH battery yesterday. wouldn't be fair to perform extreme load tests unless charging system can charge battery to full.
really looking forward to testing out Shorai 36 AH (pb eq)

Turkey offers quite a sophisticated platform for entrepreneurs. It has a diversified industrial base, a relatively stable political and economic environment, a critical mass of willing early adopters, a considerable talent pool, a strong domestic market and underserved neighboring markets. Yet, currently only 6 out of 100 people are entrepreneurs – a very low rate given the country's level of development. What challenges does Turkey need to address in order to unleash entrepreneurship as a force for economic growth?
It is an important week for entrepreneurship in the Middle East. Here in Dubai, two important global summits will be convened by His Excellency, Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, United Arab Emirates Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Carl Schramm, President of the...
I hope that like me, you have had the chance to witness the burgeoning phenomenon of entrepreneurship curriculum in American higher education. More and more, students have the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship on campus. In the process of creating entrepreneurship programs, universities have become more entrepreneurial themselves. This is great news. Colleges and universities are natural incubators of creativity and new ways of looking at things. And this new reality might mean that colleges and universities are better preparing students for success in the American economy where more professionals need to make their own jobs.
During the "Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship" hosted by President Barack Obama in Washington, DC, in April 2010, it became clear that the seeds of entrepreneurship as an economic development policy and diplomatic tool had been planted. Today, I send in a quick report from the Second Global Summit on Entrepreneurship in Istanbul which has brought together approximately 1200 successful entrepreneurs and leaders from Turkey and across the world for idea sharing under the general theme of "Entrepreneurship, Values and Development: A Global Agenda". Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hosted the event and US Vice President Joe Biden spoke yesterday.

In his State of the Union Address next week, President Obama will shift gears back to job creation after his inauguration speech focused on wider themes. As the debate about how the government can help the economy regain its pre-recession strength enters a new phase, the Kauffman Foundation's annual "State of Entrepreneurship Address" last week in Washington, DC, focused on how financial constraints have been blocking the success of new and young firms that create most of the net new jobs.
From an outsider perspective, Belgium has a very diverse economy with dozens of influences coming together at its prime location in the heart of the EU. Being the home to several major European universities, and a mix of service-based economy in the north and industrial-based in the south, Belgium has a diverse market structure that keeps it competitive and one of the highest income per capita economies in the world. However, when it comes to entrepreneurship, Belgium is not thriving.
Last Friday, the Global Entrepreneurship Congress adjourned in Rio de Janeiro, ending a week of intense sessions that engaged over two thousand people from 130 countries in discussions around building stronger entrepreneurship ecosystems back home. While the Congress included Global Entrepreneurship Week host country delegations, investors and entrepreneurs, it opened last Monday with a new session for policymakers and researchers. The experiment was a success and ended with a commitment by organizers to make government policy a mainstay of the annual Congress in the future.

slip into Parisian pouches, strapping on waterproof stickers for optimum
pleasuring by pumpkin, papaya and cucumber and red raspberry. Pedal pushers leave strapped plastics on for two-hour
waddles or pull on socks over dermatologically approved foot mask socks to avoid penguin impersonations.
Though treatment is not immediately
apparent, after four to seven days, crusty feelings begin to pepper steps,
signalling the start of peeling. Simply immerse feet into warm water for 30
minutes, after which dead skin may be rubbed off effortlessly to reveal soft,
smooth pads. The joys of jumpers free of corns, calluses and cracks may be
self-collected or delivered to abodes to prevent further breach of booted
by-laws. Each foot mask comes with an aluminium outer case, making suitable gifts for the festive season or defensive mechanisms against karaoke singers.
Customers with sensitive skin are advised to conduct a patch test by placing a small amount of serum from the foot mask on skin for 20 minutes. Discontinue if signs of irritation appear. Customers may also wear the masks for 90 minutes with the top open so that serum only works on less sensitive sole areas.

A systematic disagreement between the electron temperature measured by electron cyclotron emission (ECE) (TECE) and laser Thomson scattering (TTS), which increases with TECE, is observed in JET and TFTR plasmas, such that TECE ~ 1.2 TTS when TECE ~ 10 keV. The disagreement is consistent with a non-Maxwellian distortion in the bulk electron momentum distribution. ITER is projected to operate with Te(0) ~ 20 to 40 keV so the disagreement between TECE and TTS could be >50%, with significant physics implications. The GENRAY ray-tracing code predicts that a two-view ECE system, with perpendicular and moderately oblique viewing antennas, would be sufficient to reconstruct a two-temperature bulk distribution. If the electron momentum distribution remains Maxwellian, the moderately oblique view could still be used to measure the electron temperature profile Te(R). A viewing dump will not be required for the oblique view, and plasma refraction will be minimal. The oblique view has a similar radial resolution to the perpendicular view, but with some reduction in radial coverage. Oblique viewing angles of up to 20 deg can be implemented without a major revision to the front end of the existing ITER ECE diagnostic design.

My name's Louden, Louden Swain. Last week I turned 18. I wasn't ready for it. I haven't done anything yet. So I made this deal with myself. This is the year I make my mark.
I really thought Tnick's presence would help finch-kid has shown ZERO improvement
You know, I think I would rather be a man than a god . We don't need anyone to believe in us. We just keep going anyhow. It's what we do.
Ryak started coming on at the end of the season. I don't know why he struggled so much early. But alot of the team struggled early. Maybe it took longer for him to buy into what even changes the coaching staff made.
Also as far as Troy Nickerson goes, he is the only one in the room that can get on the mat with the light weights, so that is a hinderance for development. Our middle and upper weights have Trent and Travis, Jon Reader, Deron Winn, Evan Brown and KJ.
Also, I heard that Mitch Mueller, the Gallicks were getting back in the room more the last half of the season, maybe that help with some late season improvement.
Not sure, I also hear we are trying to get a light weight senior level wrestler on CWC. Not done yet thou.
"I looked up at the scoreboard and I was like, I can't do math that fast!" - Ed Ruth
Falcon's point is interesting, as I just heard about this this past weekend.
Mark Perry had called a coach in our area to inquire about an upper weight wrestler and what his skills were, etc. for recruitment purposes. This coach asked him why he was interested in him (has only won one state title so far) and Perry said that with upper weight wrestlers who are continually developing they offer far more promise than ones who come out of high school as blue chippers. In many cases, as Perry said, they simply don't pan out, and you get your best recruits from wrestlers who are still developing their skills out of high school.
Now, consider some of the upper weight blue chippers over the years, and Perry makes a decent point. Without mentioning names, there's one GREAT case in point of that right now.

Russian markets in the Twin Cities?
Does anyone have an up to date list/recommendation for someone in Minneapolis/North Suburbs?
The closest I go to is EuroGourmet in SLP in the strip mall on Minnetonka Blvd. Russian in-laws from Boston (large Russian population) coming to town for extended stay and they'd like to go for some staples...

Going to be in Minneapolis for our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. Restaurant recs?
Had an anniversary dinner at LBV. Sat in the dining room. Perfect, perfect service and wine pairings and the food was special occasion indulgent.
Corner Table - Chef's Table if you can - not 'romantic' sitting in the kitchen, but it will be a memorable meal.

List of places open the evening of 24th, or sometime on the 25th?
OpenTable is always a good path to see what's open.
Went to Cosmo's on the 24th and had an amazing dinner two years ago, not really cheaper, but it was quieter.
Also - I don't think Market BBQ is on OpenTable anymore - but they have been open around Christmas, went there last year on the 25th if my memory holds.
Dec 10, 2013eastlakovore in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Dining up and down University Avenue
Just a heads-up - maybe as a reaction to traffic adjustments impacting business - they are OPEN on Saturday's now. Have gone last two weekend's as I love their pelmeni - sour cream and their mustard are the best and jut a dab of their balsamic vinegar. Also had to get piroshki, because they are darn tasty as described above.

Saw them at Seward Coop a few days ago
Nov 15, 2013eastlakovore in Minneapolis-St. Paul
I've also gotten their bread and can generally find the Russian specifics I need there. I will add though that they do not serve 'food' - you won't find the salads that I yearn for and instantly grab upon hitting up the Brookline area in Boston.
How about Euro Gourmet -

Post tap-room tour dinner recommendation
I'm trying to channel my reserved in-laws/grandparents here, who want American food...'If you can't pronounce the restaurant I don't want to eat there' ethos. I suppose they'd be anti-food trucks that are usually there on the weekends?
If finishing the tour in Northeast (Dangerous Man and Indeed) how about Modern Cafe.
Oct 07, 2013eastlakovore in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Agreed, went out and the heat made eating fried foods disinteresting.
To remedy that, we did enjoy the mango with chili and lime on a stick at the MGM stand in the Int'l Bazaar. Perfect for a hot summer day, underspiced though, so I do recommend adding in some additional spice as written elsewhere.
Aug 28, 2013eastlakovore in Minneapolis-St. Paul
I have had the camel burger and it is good. Maybe not drive out of your way for - but if already going - absolutely - stop by Left Handed Cook and Sonora Grill while there for some additional great food.
Also - Victory 44's burger is great (at 1/2 price during 'happy hour'- even better). +1 for Vincent also.

Noise Level - Twin Cities Restaurants
I would second the recommendation for WA Frost. I feel 'calm' eating there, if that makes any sense.
Craftsman is generally at the right sound level to have a nice conversation, but I do tend to go there during off-peak hours.

Have had the eggs benedict a few times at Victory 44. Their benedicts are very solid, with a rotating choice of meat and flavor enhancement to the hollandaise. Recently was a salmon pastrami benedict that tasted fantastic, I'd certainly prefer that protein over the traditional ham choice from now on.
+1 for the Bon Vie rec though too.
Jan 25, 2013eastlakovore in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Too early to review review:
By the layout, it definitely looks like the right place to sit is at the high top (I think there were 5 seats) that abuts the open kitchen as that seems to allow for a show while waiting for your food.
I think as they work out the bugs and get comfortable (I wasn't expecting flawless on an opening night) I think they will be very well positioned in the area like a Victory 44. They take a nice view on the MN comfort food and from the sampling it looks like they'll be running smoothly quickly.

Where to buy veal bones for stock? Not neck bones.
I faintly recall a few years ago using veal bones from Brothers Meat and Seafood up in Maple Grove - can't hurt to call and the stock did turn out nicely.

Went over the weekend for a quick lunch and some groceries at El Burrito Mercado, got the special - Boba Fett-uccine. Delicious. Pork ragu on fettucini with shaved parmesan and some arugula. Usual go to has been the pork belly bowl, and I love coming back to it (runny egg, pork belly, and pickled veggies - are they the triefecta of foodie cool in the past two years??? but so darn good), but I need to explore more...

I'm practically across the street and often drive to Victory 44, so I'm keeping daily tabs on this and keeping my fingers crossed that my hopes will be met of three things I enjoy a great deal.

I have enjoyed the steak frites at Craftsman, minus one bad experience (steak related). But I have ordered it since and been happy with the steak quality. I like their fries and bearnaise and those have been consistent.
I'd also add a vote for Barbette as a solid choice.

Hole-in-the-wall eats recommendations
I think what's being conveyed is the idea, that while it is all-you-can-eat for lunch. You don't go to a station and select, but rather servers come around to tables with a selection and you say 'yes' or 'no' to it. If yes, a ladleful of food, if no, on she goes to the next person/table.

Wanted to share a recent story here. Went for "Date Night" last night. Arrived at 5:10PM, got seated 85 minutes later. First time I've ever stayed someplace despite the wait, I was that focused on wanting this meal.
They were definitely hitting on high notes. I was impressed as this was the first time ordering their tasting menu. The food, which for appearances last night was a manufacturing line as it didn't look like they were making anything but the tasting menu, was impressive in it's consistently good flavors.
The two best of the 10 plus amuses for us were the Agnolotti and the Rabbit courses. The agnolotti was a Myer's lemon and ricotta filled pasta that was just amazing. The rabbit had breast, a confit, and a rabbit 'oyster' that the waiter tried to slip by to us. The oyster is innocuous, more shock than anything, but kudos to them to get my wife, and the couples sitting next to us at the tasting bar to at least try it.
Desserts were playful and fun, which is their goal, flavor is above average, but homemade dippin dots tableside elicits a smile, its fun, and thats why my wife and I dine. Others can pupu it, I don't care. Once seated it's a great time, and great food, and the chefs are really nice and don't mind interacting which adds to the fun.
Based on my sitting and waiting, I can't understand why they don't set up a 'sitting' routine, if 95% of the people come in wanting/getting the tasting menu, why not go for it, and have seating's at 5, 6:30, etc...Dined at Beast in PDX and that seemed to work very well, and I had an amazing dinner and didn't have to sit and wait for my table. Clearly they have a good thing going, so they won't change, and I had a great time, I just don't consider waiting part of the experience I want to partake in again.
