We all have had similar experiences.
We think we find the perfect gift for a child – only to find that the child prefers playing with, on or in the box the gift came in. My Papa sold Motorola televisions and he knew it. As a matter of fact, he saved boxes for us.
It was not uncommon for us to have a 6-10 television box fort/house/castle out in Papa's yard.
After getting this many cardboard television boxes all hooked together at the same time, it was truly a mansion and living in extravagance. I didn't realize it at the time. However, I did realize times were good.
How many grandparents would hand a child a butcher knife and tell them to "Have a good time"? You needed the butcher knife to cut holes in the cardboard boxes for windows, doors and light in general.
It gets dark inside of a television box.
My Papa was truly a brilliant man in so many ways. So many folks don't understand the importance of what they truly do give children. With so many electronic games and phones and music devices, the imagination part sometimes gets forgotten.
Then again, I think about what my son "does" to music and still calls it music and I must say it is pretty imaginative.
Oh well.
The other day I was in one of these places that sell farm goods, feed and stuff for horses. I saw this little red tractor that caught my eye. It wasn't a fancy tractor that you pedal or anything; it was one that you "scoot" around on using your feet.
It was appropriate for a very small child. My nephew's daughter needed it in my opinion. Girls need tractors, dogs and BB guns just as much or more than little boys.
Your nephew's daughter is one of those relationships that they have invented a name for. They say she is your "great-niece." It does not make sense to me. A great grandchild is "three levels" down. "Grand-niece" would make a lot more sense.
Anyway, she needed that tractor.
A few days before Christmas, my nephew's wife shared some pictures of another gathering they had been to with her family. You know how the holidays are; you divide the weekends up and celebrate for two or three weeks.
Well, right in the middle of all of those pictures was my great-niece in a little red convertible. Oh goodness, little red convertibles really do get to little girls. At least they seem to get to my girls, who both can drive real cars now.
So I thought about the little red tractor and how it was going to feel going up against a red convertible that probably had a horn, lights and maybe even a radio.
The feeling of competition is something that we could face every day if we let ourselves. Competition is good for some instances and not to be worried about in others. Did I worry about it?
No, not at all…
I got word that my great-niece, who is about one and a half years old announced what her favorite gift was from the gathering where she got the red convertible.
She said it was a toothbrush. Now granted it was a Mickey or Minnie Mouse toothbrush, but it was still a toothbrush.
We will see what she thinks about the little red tractor, but a girl who prefers a toothbrush over a red convertible is one I want to watch grow up.
Rodney Atkins, a fellow who sings country music, has a wonderful song about "A Man on a Tractor." In the lyrics, Atkins notes that his wife says, "It's not about living another man's life, it's about seeing your own differently."
The song is based on seeing a fellow on a tractor and his dog out in the middle of a field and realizing how happy they were.
Before I give this little red tractor away, I'm going to take it out in the yard with my two dogs and see what kind of feeling I get. If I can find a cardboard box big enough, I also might make myself a fort (if someone around here will let me use a butcher knife).

It teaches you a method you can use to understand how you dream, why you dream, why you have nightmares and how you can use the abilities of your dreaming brain to solve problems and improve your waking life. This book is completely different from other books about dreams because it takes into account the energy side of life.

Government has failed to complete more than 400 construction projects and continues to lose millions of dollars as material at the sites gets damaged or vandalised, a Cabinet minister has said. Public Works Minister Gabbuza Joel Gabuza said the contractor would levy an additional cost to the Government on resumption of the project to recover material such as cement and other equipment lost.
He said some of the projects would lie idle even in circumstances where the project would be 95 percent complete. The Minister said this on Monday while giving oral evidence before a Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Public Works.
"We have about 400 projects at various stages of completion. Some of the projects have been idle for the past 15 years. Material gets damaged. Some of the projects like Nkayi registry needs as little as US$5 000. At Mwenezi registry we just need a door and a ceiling to be put in place before completion," he said.
As an intervention measure, said Minister Gabuza, no new projects would be undertaken. He said Government would prioritise projects that required little money for completion. Minister Gabuza said people were sent to project areas when there was no funding. He said there was a need for Treasury to directly allocate money for construction to his ministry. The minister said line ministries had in the past bought wrong material for given projects.
Minister Gabuza bemoaned poor conditions of service saying engineers and other professionals were leaving.

Lance Armstrong's legal team released studies conducted by the US Postal Service saying the US government sponsorship of his Tour de France team produced a triple return on investment.
Armstrong attorney Robert Luskin said in a statement released Friday that the Postal Service reaped huge benefits from its cycling sponsor deal.
"The Postal's Service's own studies show that the Service benefited tremendously from its sponsorship — benefits totaling more than $100 million," Luskin said.
Armstrong's camp released sponsorship evaluations from 2001, 2002 and 2004 that attempted to place a monetary value on the exposure benefits to US Postal at that time.
The studies claimed that for $32.276 million spent by US Postal from 2001-2004, there was $103.636 million in publicity benefits with never less than a 300 percent return in investment in any year of the sponsorship.

Giving Up Alcohol: A 72-Hour Experiment
Alcohol Awareness Month began last week with a challenge to all Americans to go alcohol free for one weekend to raise awareness about the harmful effects of drinking and how it may be affecting others around you. Many of us consume alcohol in a responsible manner as an accepted practice in our society, which is reinforced through social get-togethers with our family and friends. But for millions of Americans, alcohol can cause devastating problems. Social workers know all too well this addiction not only impacts the individual but their loved ones, too.
Alcohol Awareness Month
The alcohol-free weekend kicked off the 27th Annual Alcohol Awareness Month, sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD). This national grassroots effort was first observed in 1987, and today, communities throughout the United States work together to support prevention, research, education, intervention, treatment and recovery from alcoholism and alcohol-related problems.
This year's Alcohol Awareness theme — Help for Today, Hope for Tomorrow — was designed to draw attention to the pervasive impact that alcohol, alcoholism and alcohol-related problems have on young people, their friends, families and communities. In a show of solidarity for those coping with alcohol-related problems, participants were asked to abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages for a 72-hour period to demonstrate alcohol isn't necessary to have a good time. If participants found it difficult to go without alcohol during this period, they are urged to seek more information about the warning signs of alcohol abuse.
Facts About Alcoholism
The goal of Alcohol Awareness Month is to recognize the damaging effects of alcohol and alcoholism and to renew support for individuals battling to overcome addiction. Here are a few facts about alcoholism from the NCADD website:
10 Things You Can Do
The NCADD recommends a number of actions you can take to increase the impact of Alcohol Awareness Month. Depending on populations they serve, social workers can play a leadership role. Here are 10 ways you can make a difference:
1. Recognize the clients and families, young people and community members you know who lead alcohol- and other drug-free lifestyles.
2. Teach a class or speak at a church or community event on alcohol prevention strategies, such as parental involvement.
3. Discuss critical skills for understanding alcohol-selling techniques with clients you serve.
4. Teach that abstinence from alcohol is an acceptable lifelong decision, and drinking can be risky; intervene when you have a concern.
5. If you work with schools or are raising school-age children, raise awareness about the rules regarding the use of alcohol and enforcement, and advocate for confidential health services and community service opportunities.
6. Ask your schools and universities to enforce a zero-tolerance policy on the illegal consumption of alcohol by students both on and off campus.
7. Support education programs on college campuses that include information on alcoholism prevention and treatment.
8. If you drink, be sure to set an ongoing, healthy example regarding adult alcohol use and never brag about your use of alcohol or other drugs.
9. Work with businesses in your area to offer discounts or free admission to members of the community who have signed a pledge to remain alcohol free.
10. If you are concerned about yourself, a friend, family member or client, call NCADD. Its network of affiliates will connect you with someone who is specifically trained and experienced in helping individuals and families deal with alcohol-related problems.
Help for Today, Hope for Tomorrow
"The good news is that we are making progress," says Robert J. Lindsey, president/CEO of NCADD. "It is now estimated that more than 20 million individuals and family members are living lives in recovery. These individuals have achieved healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally, and contribute in positive ways to their communities."

Author discusses "violent history" of Islam
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Last week, WMNF reported on the Family Impact Summit, a gathering of right-wing Christians at Bell Shoals Baptist Church in Brandon.
One of the topics covered at the summit was "What Christians Must Know of Islam." William Federer was a speaker in that session. Federer authored a book called What Every American Needs to Know About the Qurâan: A History of Islam & the United States.
WMNF spoke with Federer before his lecture and he outlined what he called the violent history of Islam. Also during that interview he expressed concern that Keith Ellison of Minnesota is the first-ever Muslim Member of Congress and was sworn in using the Koran.

Rwanda Cricket Association (RCA) believes the just ended umpiring course will go a long way in improving the standards of the game in the country.
The four-day refresher course which ended last Saturday was facilitated by former international cricket umpire Subhash Modi at the invitation of Cassim Suliman, the ICC Regional Development Officer.
According to RCA's Secretary General Emmanuel Byiringiro, who is also a member of the ICC Africa Umpires Panel, the course, which attracted twelve umpires, touched on the laws of cricket, playing conditions, technique, team work, scenarios, discipline, fair and unfair play, temperament among others.
"The turn up was good and we hope that we shall have more umpires coming through," he said, before adding, "It's our dream that we can have more faces on the ICC Africa Umpires Panel in a few years."
This year, Modi officiated at the ICC Africa World Cup qualifying Division II tournament in South Africa.

Items I Reuse for Starting Seeds
I reuse the clear plastic cups my smoothies and iced coffee drinks come in to start seeds. They are the perfect mini-greenhouse! Take the lids off when the seedlings get a couple of sets of leaves, and they acclimatize very well.
Makes me feel like my guilty pleasure isn't quite so bad when I do it!
Tips for Using This Item for Seed Starting
I put a few pebbles in the bottom of the cup before I add the soil for drainage. These cups are ideal for starting just a few seeds at once, and I really love starting fruit seeds this way. I have a small orchard now, with everything from a cherry tree, to pears and a lemon tree, too!
- Take the lid off the container after the seedlings develop a couple of sets of leaves to let them acclimatize before repotting into a bigger container.

The first one (1.) uses the /data/app folder and the second one (2.) uses the /system/app folder.
So how can you choose the right version:
- I'm not sure what i'm doing.
- I'm not 100% sure if my system partition free space is enough.
- I don't want that s2e is a part of my userdata apps and i'm 100% sure it will fit to the system partition.
1. S2E using userdata
or directly install the app from the play store
2.S2E using system
S2E Shared Folder (Older versions):
Creating Partition:
Clockworkmod (v184.108.40.206)
- Boot into Recovery
- "Advanced"
- Partition SD Card
- Choose your Ext partition size
- You can choose 0MB for Swap
- Done
- Reboot into Recovery
- flash "simple2ext-vX-jb-userdata.zip" or "simple2ext-vX-jb.zip" depends on your selection.
- Reboot
- Start s2e app and configure it to your needs.
If you have any trouble using s2e you can post the s2e log file or an logcat of your boot procedure.
For now i've tried it on 2 different blades and everything works.
Thanks to OlegKrikun and KonstaT!
Best regards

Choosing a Surgeon
Your Choice of Surgeon Should Not Be Taken Lightly
The best surgeons have tremendous skill and expertise. Surgery is truly an art. The average artist is not an exceptional artist, nor is the average surgeon an exceptional surgeon. Refer to the bullet points to the left which explain the best practices in selecting your next surgeon.
The best way to predict your surgical outcome is to look at a large group of patients having the same procedure that is being performed by one individual surgeon. Please refer to the Life Beyond Bunions show to see over 100 patients in the studio audience who all experienced pain free results.
In Dr. Moy's office, what Kimber experiences going through her surgical process is truly what you could expect. Watch the Kimber's Surgery story in the video center section or on the home page to place yourself in Kimber's shoes.
Consistency in surgical outcomes is what you are truly looking for.
See "Ten in a Row" where Dr.Moy performs 10 consecutive bunion operations in one week. See video testimonials of all ten patients with their written surveys.

With gold being all the rage among smartphones these days, it's now extending over to game consoles. London department store Harrods has launched a 24-carat gold plated Xbox One, in its moves to please the affluent.
Available just in time for Christmas, the 24-carat gold plated Xbox One will be available at Harrods for a cool £6,000.

Rumored iRadio to be supported by in-stream advertising; wait, really?
If the rumors are to be believed, one of Apple's announcements at the WWDC keynote on Monday will be a music streaming service. Currently referred to as iRadio, the latest reports suggest that not only are the three big labels now on board, but that Apple will launch it as a free service supported by advertising. Wait, what?
Of all the companies that offer a music streaming service, Apple is possibly the last one you would expect to launch an ad-supported product. A thought echoed by Daring Fireball's John Gruber:
So Google's streaming music is a paid service, and Apple's is going to be free with ads. Got it. Wait, what?
Let's face it; we're well used to paying for things from Apple. That's not to say that a free service wouldn't be wonderful. If no-one has to pay, then there's little reason not to use it at least on occasion. But, it's not going to be to everyone's liking. I tried the free level of Spotify before signing up, and the amount of in-stream ads drove me to pay a lot quicker than I'd planned on doing.
And that's the point in question. In-app advertising is quite, quite different. It usually doesn't directly affect the experience, they can be dismissed or simply ignored. But in-stream audio advertising is different; you can't skip it, you can't ignore it. The ads play through to the end.
The other point to consider is whether or not this could be a high profile effort to reinvigorate Apple's iAd advertising platform. iAd isn't used nearly as much as any rival advertising platforms, yet its inclusion in their own music service could see millions of ads delivered every hour.
As with everything else rumored, we don't have long to find out if any of it is in fact true. There's just something that doesn't feel quite right about an Apple service wholly paid for by advertising. What do you guys think? Would you be happier to use a service in this way? Or would you prefer the option of paying to remove any advertising? Sound off in the comments!

Rumored iRadio to be supported by in-stream advertising; wait, really?
If this turns out to be the case, why get it? It will have to offer more than the other services. I pay for Rhapsody, if I listen to an artist, it is all their music. I have the free pandora, and some days their choice of songs are way off the artist you pick. If I did not pay for Rhapsody, I would have gone with Spotify. Guess we will know Monday.
I'll get it if it's free. But i'm wondering if they(Apple) will off set it with a payed app??
Sent from the iMore App
They seem to be a little late to the party, again, I pay for spotify and only use it to make album or genre playlists, it would have have to be something special for me to switch, which I can't see it being.
Sent from the iMore App
It doesn't seem odd to me. iOS is served more ads than any other mobile platform (soon more than any platform), and Apple is is the advertising business. It seems like a natural mix.
Why jump the gun so early about this. Just wait until they make the announcement and then post your thoughts.
If this nothing but a pandora copy then I'm not interested. If this is more like spotify with a better catalog then they've got my attention.
As long as the app is deletable, Apple can experiment with any pricing model they see fit. If offers value above what I already get with Spotify and Pandora, I'll use it. If not, I won't.
I would love to have the service, but as with Pandora, Spotify, Mog and others, I just don't want to spend 10 bucks a month. I know it probably seems silly but I just wish I could spend 3-5 bucks a month and listen. Somehow this doesn't seem like such a huge investment. I am not an audiophile music freak, and when I am at work I don't always listen to music. Ugh, this sounds silly when I write it, but somehow it feels like paying for music streaming is like in-app purchases. I am willing to pay a little, but please don't make me pay through the nose for it. How about just having me buy it out right and giving me the service? Don't tongue lash me, I'm just sayin'...
Maybe it isn't the fact I should pay, but what is the fair price for such a service. It seems like Pandora and others have you pay for a service and promise you certain features, then just about the time you get all settled in, they say "Oh, by the way, now we are offering less and charging you the same amount". The consumer loses.
I am an older (49) Apple fan and am looking forward to this service, I just hope I can bring myself to pay for it...lol! One thing though, if the have ads in the stream...not a chance. Radio is still free.
I agree. While I enjoy music I tend to listen to music I have already bought and think 120quid a year is a bit steep for a service that I'd hardly ever use. Some people stop buying music and spend that money on Spotify etc. instead as you can listen to all the music you want but a) I don't spend 10 pounds a month on music as it is and b) where does that leave you if/when you decide to stop using the service?

The technological hurdles we would face in reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface will probably not be the only problems linked to the technologies David L. Chandler describes (21 July, p 42).
Any major infrastructure projects could be expected to attract the interest of groups with contrary motivations. Great efforts would need to be taken, both at the construction stage and during operation, to protect them against terrorist organisations. Recent experience in the UK and elsewhere demonstrates how difficult a task that can be.
Deliberately altering the world's climate through technological fixes would, in addition, almost certainly mean that some countries would suffer negative climatic consequences even if the majority gained: lawyers would have a field day.

And now with no order or reason, here's some postal art:
ΔΔΔ This envelope painting and collage from Guido are part of one amazing mailing I received a few months ago. It included a saddle-stitched xerographic book of his collages. I began documenting some book pages but before I completed the task, I loaned it out for the Art in Transit exhibition, where it was prominently displayed in a glass case. Now I have the stuff back, but haven't gotten to fish the book out to complete the job. He titles every envelope painting; I can't supply you with any titles at this time.

Author of left-wing bible for Latin America, 'Open Veins,' admits his 1971 book is garbage
You may recall that back in 2009, deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez gave president Obama a copy of Galeano's "The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" to the consternation of some and the glee of many.
Eduardo Galeano Repents, Will His Adherents Follow Suit?
Galeano's "The Open Veins of Latin America" is a favorite among the region's radicals and anti-U.S. agitators. Its thesis is that all of Latin America's modern-day problems are due to U.S. "exploitation.""That traditional leftist-style prose is awful," Galeano repents today.
He also admitted that he wrote it "without properly knowing enough about economics and politics."
Galeano's comments came at the II Bienal in Brazil, an international book fair held in Brasilia.
At the 5th Summit of the Americas in 2009, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez orchestrated a highly-publicized encounter, where he famously cornered U.S. President Barack Obama and handed him a copy of "The Open Veins of Latin America."
"The Open Veins of Latin America" has also been a favorite of U.S. college professors and -- thus -- formed the thinking of Latin Americanists in media, academia and government for decades.
Will Galeano's stunning confession make them pause?

WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross senior captain Carly Grimaudo (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal at the 77:34 mark in overtime to help lead the Crusaders to a 2-1 triumph over Bryant in non-conference field hockey action on Tuesday evening at the Hart Turf Field. With the win, Holy Cross improves to 3-6 on the season, while the Bulldogs end their seven-game winning streak and fall to 7-2 overall.
Just seven minutes into the overtime period, Grimaudo took the ball down the left side of the field. She weaved in and out of two defenders and slipped a shot under the diving Bryant goalie that found its way to the back of the cage. The marker was her first of the season and the third game-winner of her career. Prior to the goal, Bryant had two chances to end the game with shots on net, but Holy Cross junior goalkeeper Kat Matchett (Maple Glen, Pa.) made the clutch saves.
After a scoreless first half in which Bryant held the 7-2 edge in shots, both teams turned up the offensive intensity in the second stanza. The Bulldogs had two chances in the early minutes of the second half as Rosie Bird launched two shots on net between the 42nd and 43rd minutes, but Matchett stood tall. Holy Cross looked as if it would score the first tally of the game in the 54th minute, as sophomore Katy Cronin (Franklin, Mass.) had a breakaway down the left side. Bryant goalkeeper Megan Hancock, however, made the kick save to preserve the stalemate.
The Bulldogs potted the contest's first marker in the 61st minute. Off a penalty corner, Kimberly Lizotte tipped in a shot from Olivia Jankins to put Bryant ahead 1-0. The lead was short lived, however, as the Crusaders answered in the 63rd minute. Cronin took the ball down the left side of the field and beat the last Bryant defender. She then ripped a short side shot that slipped by Hancock to tie the game at 1-1. The goal was Cronin's second of the season.
The Bulldogs kept up the pressure late in the second half, as they had three penalty corners between the 66th and 68th minutes, but they were unable to convert on the opportunities. Holy Cross sophomore midfielder Michelle McNeil (Canton, Mass.) made things interesting in the final minute of regulation, as she had two great shots on net, but Hancock made the saves to force the overtime period and Grimaudo's heroics.
Matchett earned her second win of the season (2-3), as she made eight saves. Her counterpart, Hancock, pushed aside five shots on net in the losing effort. Bryant held statistical advantages in shots (14-9), shots on goal (9-7) and penalty corners (10-1).
Holy Cross returns to action on Friday, Oct. 4, when it will host new Patriot League member, Boston University on the Hart Turf Field at 7:00 p.m.

WOMEN in Turkey, Chile and the US are the world's most frequent criers, according to a Dutch study of crying habits. It found that men in Spain, Peru and Bulgaria cry the least, and that women everywhere cry more than menon average 2.76 times per week compared with men's 1.06 times.
Ad Vingerhoets, a psychologist at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, and a colleague drew up a five-part questionnaire asking respondents how often they had cried during the past four weeks and what made them cry. So far, they have received about 4000 replies from 30 countries. They note that people prefer to cry at home, in the evening.

Bulawayo — Zimbabwe's local authorities and health experts have warned that the erection of ventilated pit latrines by the small number of beneficiaries of the country's urban renewal housing project could pose a serious health hazard.
Government has encouraged the occupants of the 150 new houses hastily constructed after the controversial Operation Murambatsvina (Clean out Garbage), which affected hundreds of thousands of people last year, to build the toilets while they await the installation of formal ablution facilities.
But health experts pointed out that the pit latrines were not geared to dispose of human waste in an urban environment and could easily result in the outbreak of diseases associated with poor sanitation, a lack of hygiene and access to potable water, such as cholera and diarrhoea.
Many of the new houses do not even have access to water, and the capital, Harare, is already battling an outbreak of cholera, which has claimed more than 20 lives this year.
Urban councils have also objected to the construction of the pit latrines.
"Government and the housing ministry have said it [construction of the pit latrines] should be done and we are not stopping them, as they will not brook any advice. But this is a sad development for the country, that literally means we are now taking rural life into urban areas instead of vice-versa," said Japhet Ndabeni-Ncube, an official of the Urban Councils Association of Zimbabwe, in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second city.
"The whole process just shows how disorganised the housing programme is," Ndabeni-Ncube remarked.
Government has defended the latrines as a temporary measure. "We cannot watch them [the homeless] live in the open while there are houses, just because there is no toilets and water," said Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo.
According to the official Herald newspaper, more than 150 houses have been constructed under Operation Garikai/Hlalani Kuhle (Live Well) subsequent to the Murambatsvina campaign aimed at clearing slums and flushing out criminals, which left more than 700,000 people homeless or without jobs, or both.

BlogHer Book Club: Let's Pretend This Never Happened
This is a paid review for BlogHer Book Club but the opinions expressed are my own.
We all know and love Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess, right? Jenny's book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened, came out in paperback this week and while I read it on my Kindle over the holidays I jumped at the chance to re-read and review it because it is PEE YOUR PANTS FUNNY.
I love supporting bloggers when they publish books but am often disappointed to learn that the books they publish are just regurgitations of previously published blog posts. But! That is not the case with Let's Pretend This Never Happened.
This book is hilarious, but also quite touching. As a mother, I got a bit teary-eyed at Jenny's description of her history of pregnancy loss and the birth of her daughter.
If you're looking for a funny read, be sure to pick up this fantastic book.

Portable Pizza Oven
Hi, all. I am a sophomore in college looking to build a portable relatively small pizza oven (think Primavera70 or even a 60 if need be!)
I dont have much money as a poor working college student and would really not like to spend any more than 700$ on this thing.
I would prefer something sort of like the Primavera series, that are alot lighter and more portable than the other ovens and are smaller, so that instead of going through the trouble of making new concrete floor and all that jazz, I can just throw it on a stand on my patio and have it ready to go.
Can anyone help?
Has anyone attempted to successfully do this before?
Re: Portable Pizza Oven
You're not gonna be able to do that with masonry. Portable ovens are built permanently onto the stand. Your best bet would be some kind of rocket oven with a pizza stone.
If you have a semi-permanent place to build it but will have to tear it down when you leave, I'd recommend just building a cob oven. You could build it on a rolling stand to increase portability - just remember it won't be light. At any rate, they are easy to build and easy to tear down.
Hope that helps.
Re: Portable Pizza Oven
Instead of "Portable", maybe I should use a different word to more accurately describe what I'm getting at.
I would like to create a pizza oven that I can just throw onto an already made stand instead of going through the head-pounding and frustrating work of building a stand, a hearth or a foundation slab.
I just want to get to building the OVEN itself.
Which leads me to my next question.
Is the hearth REALLY needed?
I understqnd it helps for insulating the cooking floor of your oven and helps the heat radiate without leaving the bottom surface for a while-- which is VERY beneficial in high heat baking/cooking.
BUT, I see the Primavera only comes by itself, and either has a hearth built into it, or needs no hearth because it operates totally fine by itself without the pain of building a stand or a hearth.
So, is the hearth built into the Primavera Oven itself or is it substituted in place for something else?
Thank you again sir, for taking the time to answer my amateurish questions.
Re: Portable Pizza Oven
Hearth: Yeah, you need one. That said, it doesn't have to be the concrete/vermiculite/etc, able to withstand an earthquake, permanent, overbuilt jobs the majority use. Firebrick in a sand base will do fine for a temporary job. (Think patio pavers - the sand holds them in place but isn't a mortar.) Put a rim around your stand - 1x4's will do fine - fill partially with sand and set the firebrick on that. The oven can then be built on top.
Mind you, it will not be efficient. It's gonna bleed heat like crazy since there is no insulation so it will take more wood to bring it to temp - probably a lot more. You can minimize that a bit by not extending the brick (much) past the edge of the oven (unless you cut them there will be some overage). Sand is not an insulator so it won't help.
But it will get you where you're going pretty fast. If you were building this permanently it would be a stupid waste but it should suffice for a temporary job.
The hearth is not included with the pre-cast ovens but they do need one. The hearth is constructed on-site. It's a heck of a lot cheaper to build a concrete slab than to mail one!
Everybody starts out having no clue - don't sweat it.
FYI, I'm a girl. ;)
Re: Portable Pizza Oven
So, I noticed you mentioned earlier something about a "Cob" Oven.
I have never heard of such a thing-- I only thought that wood-fried ovens were only designated to being the brick ones only. Very interesting.
I had no idea that there were other varieties out there that one could create.
You dont happen to have a link that goes more into detail some more about these beautiful "Cob" ovens, as well as the other varieties one could build do you?
I may just have to create a separate thread for this.
Thanks a bunch, Archena!

No prob - it would be nice if it were in the postbit but it's not (hint, hint, James! ;) )

AKRON, OHIO - The Akron Aeros used an offensive outburst to defeat the Altoona Curve 10-3 on Saturday night at Canal Park.
Akron jumped out to an early lead stringing together six hits in the bottom of the first inning to jump in front of the Curve, 5-0.
Alex Dickerson led off the top half of the fourth inning with a single to get the Curve offense going. After a one-out walk to Justin Howard, Andy Vasquez smacked an RBI-double to deep center field to make it a 5-1 game. Carlos Paulino followed by reaching on a throwing error that allowed both Howard and Vasquez to score cutting the Aeros lead to 5-3.
Akron's offense would not let up though putting up another five spot in the bottom half of the frame. Jesus Aguilar had the big blow with a three-run home run for Akron that made it a 10-3 game.
Jameson Taillon worked 3.1 innings allowing 13 hits and 10 runs all of which were earned while walking one and striking out a pair. Zach McAllister went 3.1 innings in his first rehab start for the Aeros (45-48) allowing four hits and two runs on 61 pitches.
Kenn Kasparek turned in a brilliant outing out of the bullpen for the Curve. The right-hander worked a season-long 3.2 innings allowing three hits and walk while striking out four. Paolo Espino (2-2) earned the victory for the Aeros working four scoreless innings in relief.
Charlie Cutler and Dickerson each recorded multi-hit games for the Curve offense.
The final game of the four-game series in Akron is slated for 2:05 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. RHP David Bromberg (4-8, 3.63) will head to the mound for the Curve (41-51). Bromberg will be making his third start of the season against the Aeros and his first since suffering the loss in Akron on June 28. He will be opposed by RHP Toru Murata (3-4, 4.11). Murata has allowed just two earned runs to Altoona in two starts this season.

Exedy Racing Clutch NMRA Ford Nationals - Hello Columbus
The Labor Day Weekend Tradition Continues In Ohio With The NMRA Ford Nationals
For 31 years, Mustang and Ford owners in the Columbus, Ohio, area have headed to National Trail Raceway on Labor Day weekend for a big all-Ford race and car show. In the late '70s and '80s, the Performance Ford Club of America staged the original Ford Expo at the quarter-mile track on the east side of town. For a while, the club split from the track and instead held a car show at a local Ford dealership while National Trail continued with its own all-Ford race. Today, however, everything is happily back together under the NMRA banner.
This year's Exedy Racing Clutch NMRA Ford Nationals was held over the September 4-6 weekend. As usual, there was a large turnout of Northeast-based Mustangs and Fords for both the drag racing and the car show.

Kampala — Uganda's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has embarked an ambitious expansion programme that will see the elevation of two aerodromes into International Airports.
According to Mr. Ignie Igunduura, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Public Relations Manager told the East African Business Week that the master plan studies and engineering designs for the development of the Gulu and Kasese aerodromes into International Airports have been completed.
"The master plan studies' report has already been submitted to government but they (aerodromes) are going to be developed in phases because it wouldn't be easy to do all of them at a go," Igunduura said.
The development of the Gulu (Northern Uganda) and Kasese (Western Uganda) aerodromes into Airports would inevitably help Entebbe International Airport, Uganda's only airport with the overwhelming traffic numbers that have over the years increased rapidly. In July, Entebbe Airport received the 2012 Routes Africa Marketing Accolade for managing to attract the largest number of reputable airlines but the Airport is finding it difficult to manage the ever growing traffic.
According to Mr. David Mpango Kakuba, the Deputy Managing Director of CAA, "Air passenger traffic at Entebbe is steadily growing, currently at 1.2 million per year compared to three years ago when it was only 500,000 passengers."
According to sources, it is expected that the United Nations base near the airport will have close to 6,000 personnel, coupled with the onset of oil drilling; the country is expected to experience increased activity at Entebbe Airport. If the expansion process of the airport is not fast tracked, the numbers could overwhelm the authorities.
The Uganda Revenue Authority's (URA) customs department has also asked the authorities to provide the Cargo section with an independent area away from the current location so as to minimize loopholes during loading and offloading of cargo.
With the construction of two new airports, pressure would ease from Entebbe and passengers would be able to fly directly to and from these areas.
According to Igunduura, the development of the two aerodromes would cost an estimated $240m and that there were negotiations between government and a Chinese company to fund the projects.
The CAA currently manages 13 aerodromes as well as the Entebbe Airport but there are other privately owned airfields. Igunduura also added that the Arua Aerodrome (West Nile) is undergoing expansion and that CAA was working on acquiring more landfor access roads, apron for air planes.

Birds of Prey by Nicholas Hammond and Bruce Pearson, Hamlyn, pp 160, £14.99
Bird behaviour is a science largely ignored by many of today's birdwatchers, who are more interested in a bird's identity than in what it is doing. But as this admirable volume makes clear, bird behaviour can often give a clue to identity, especially with difficult species like birds of prey. I remember once watching a very distant buzzard over a French forest in May: it was when it started its wing-clapping display that I knew for certain it was a honey buzzard, as the common buzzard does not wing clap.
Surprisingly, Nicholas Hammond makes no mention of the honey buzzard's distinctive courtship flight here, but he does discuss the subject of display at some length. Representative examples of display are given, so we learn of the male osprey's sky dance, the talon-grasping of the white-tailed eagle and ...

Balochistan, or Baluchistan, Pashto, (Balochi, Hazara,Brahui, Sindhi, Urdu: بلوچستان) is a province in Pakistan, the largest in the country by geographical area; it is slightly smaller than Norway. It contains most of the historical region of Balochistan and is named after the Baloch people. Its neighbouring regions are Iranian Balochistan to the west, Afghanistan and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas to the north and Punjab and Sindh to the east. To the south is the Arabian Sea. The principal languages in the province are Baluchi, Brahui,Sindhi and Pashto. The capital and largest city is Quetta. Balochistan is believed to be rich in mineral resources. It is the second major, after Sindh, supplier of natural gas to the country.
The Sulaiman Mountains dominate the northeast corner and the Bolan Pass is a natural route into Afghanistan towards Kandahar and was used as a route during the British campaigns to Afghanistan. Much of the province south of the Quetta region is sparse desert terrain with pockets of towns mostly near rivers and streams.
The capital city is Quetta, located in the most densely populated district in the northeast of the province. Quetta is situated in a river valley near the border with Afghanistan, with a road to Kandahar in the northwest.
At Gwadar on the coast the Pakistani government is currently undertaking a large project with Chinese help to build a large port. This is being done partially to provide the Pakistan Navy with another base, and to reduce Pakistan's reliance on Karachi and Port Qasim, which are currently the only major ports
|Historical populations
Balochistan has a deeply patriarchal and conservative culture, in which ' honour killings' are commonplace.
In one recent incident in August 2008, the Asian Human Rights Commission reported that five women (including three teenagers) in a remote village had been beaten, shot and buried alive in a ditch for the 'crime' of having wished to choose their own husbands. One of the tribesmen involved was the younger brother of a provincial minister from the ruling Pakistan People's Party, and local police therefore refused to take any action.
After human rights activists brought the case to national and international attention, Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Balochistan in the Pakistani Parliament, defended the killings and asked his fellow legislators not to make a fuss about the incident. He told Parliament, "These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them. Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid."
Balochistan was the site of the earliest known farming settlements upon the Iranian plateau bordering South Asia, the earliest of which was Mehrgarh dated at 6500 BCE. Pakistani Balochistan corresponds to the ancient Achaemenid province of Gedrosia. Balochistan was sparsely populated by various tribes, possibly of Dravidian and Indo-Iranian origin, for centuries following the decline of the nearby Harappa-Mohenjo-daro civilisation to the east. Over time, Balochistan was invaded by various Eurasian groups including the Aryans, Persians, Greeks, Kushans, Arabs, Turks, Mongols, Mughals, Afghans, and the British. Aryan invasions appear to have led to the eventual demise of the Elamo-Dravidian with the exception of the Brahui who may have arrived much later as did the Balochis themselves. The Balochis began to arrive from their homeland in northern Iran and appear to be an offshoot of the Kurdish tribes that would mainly populate the western end of the Iranian plateau. The Balochi tribes eventually became a sizeable group rivalled only by another Iranian group where Brohis and Pashtuns came under influnces of Balochis.
What is now Baluchistan province of Pakistan, in the 7th century was divided into two main regions, its south western parts were part of Kermān Province of the Persian Empire and north eastern region was part of the Persian province Sistan. The southern region was included in Makran. In early 644, Caliph Umar sent Suhail ibn Adi from Busra to conquer the Kerman region of Iran; he was made governor of Kerman. From Kerman he entered the western Baluchistan and conquered the region near to Persian frontiers. South Western Baluchistan was conquered during the campaign in Sistan the same year. During Caliph Uthman's reign in 652, Baluchistan was re-conquered during the campaign against the revolt in Kerman, under the command of Majasha ibn Masood, it was first time when western Baluchistan came directly under the Laws of Caliphate and gave tribute on agriculture.In those days western Baluchistan was included in the dominion of Kerman. In 654 Abdulrehman ibn Samrah was made governor of Sistan, an Islamic army was sent under him to crush the revolt in Zarang, which is now in southern Afghanistan. Conquering Zarang a column moved north ward to conquer areas up to Kabul and Ghazni in Hindu Kush Mountains, while another column moved towards North western Baluchistan and conquered area up to the ancient city of Dawar and Qandabil (Bolan), by 654 the whole of what is now Baluchistan province of Pakistan was under the rule of Rashidun Caliphate except for the well defended mountain town of QaiQan (now Kalat), which was conquered during Caliph Ali's reign. Abdulrehman ibn Samrah made Zaranj his provincial capital and remained governor of these conquered areas from 654 to 656, until Uthman was murdered. During the Caliphate of Ali, the areas of Baluchistan, Makran again broke into revolt. Due to civil war in the Islamic empire Ali was unable to deal with these areas until 660 when he sent a large force under the command of Haris ibn Marah Abdi towards Makran, Baluchistan and Sind. Haris ibn Marah Abdi arrived in Makran and conquered it by force then moved north ward to north eastern Baluchistan and re-conquered Qandabil (Bolan), then again moving south finally conquered Qaiqan (Kalat) after a fierce battle. In 663 during the reign of Umayyad Caliph Muawiyah I, Muslim lost control of North eastern Baluchistan and Kalat when Haris ibn Marah and large part of army died in the battle field against a revolt in Kalat. Muslim forces latter re-gained the control of the area during Umayyads reign. It also remained part of Abbasid Caliphate's empire.
Many Balochis believe that their origins are Semitic and not Iranian contrary to linguistic and historical evidence. Balochis claim that they left their Aleppo homeland in Syria at some point during the 1st millennium CE and moved to Balochistan, on the other hand it is considered more likely they are an Iranian group who have possibly absorbed some Arab ancestry and cultural traits instead, it is also believed that Baloch are of Arab blood, it could be they left the Arab world when Iraq broke from Persia in 652 AD and there is historical evidence that suggests they lived in (Khuzestan) and (Bushehr) before moving to Kerman and Hormozgan. In 15th century Mir Chakar Khan Rind became first king of Baluchistan. Balochistan subsequently was dominated by empires based in Iran and Afghanistan as well as the Mughal Empire based in India. Ahmed Shah Durrani annexed the region as part of a "greater" Afghanistan. The area would eventually revert to local Balochi control, while parts of the northern regions would continue to be dominated by Pashtun tribes.
During the period of the British Raj, there were four Princely states in Balochistan: Makran, Kharan, Las Bela and Kalat. In 1876 Sir Robert Sandeman concluded a treaty with the Khan of Kalat and brought his territories - including Kharan, Makran, and Las Bela - under British suzerainty. After the Second Afghan War of 1878-80, the Treaty of Gandamak concluded in May 1879, the Afghan Emir ceded the districts of Quetta Pishin,Sibi, Harnai, and Thal Chotiali to the British. In 1883 the British leased the Bolan Pass, southeast of Quetta, from the Khan of Kalat on a permanent basis. In 1887 some areas of Balochistan were declared British territory. In 1893, Sir Mortimer Durand negotiated an agreement with Amir Abdur Rahman Khan of Afghanistan to fix the Durand Line running from Chitral to Balochistan to as the boundary between the Afghans and the British.
There were two devastating earthquakes in Balochistan during British colonial rule: The 1935 Balochistan Earthquake devastated Quetta and the 1945 Balochistan Earthquake, with its epicentre in Makran region, was felt in other regions of South Asia.
On 15 June, 2006, an estimated 600 fighters, led by three commanders, agreed to lay down their weapons after talks with Shoaib Nausherwani, Baluchistan's minister for internal affairs, in Dera Bugti district. On August 26, Balochistan tribal leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti was killed in airstrikes carried out by the Pakistani military.
In 1998 Pakistan conducted nuclear tests in Ras Koh and in the Kharan desert, both in the Kharan District in north-western Balochistan. After Musharraf's coup against the Nawaz Sharif Government, the separatist insurgency resurfaced.
Though the province remains largely underdeveloped, there are currently several major development projects in progress in Balochistan, including the construction of a new deep sea port at the strategically important town of Gwadar. The port is projected to be the hub of an energy and trade corridor to and from China and the Central Asian republics. There is considerable Chinese involvement in the project, leading some to consider Gwadar it as the Chinese outpost on the Arabian Sea. The total cost of the project is estimated at more than US$2 billion. China has also invested in a coastal highway to link Gwadar with Pakistan's largest city, Karachi.
Further west is the Mirani Dam multipurpose project, on the River Dasht, 50 kilometres west of Turbat in the Makran Division. It will provide dependable irrigation supplies for the development of agriculture and add more than 35,000 km² of arable land. There is also Chinese involvement in the nearby Saindak gold and copper mining project.

CAMAS -- Given the track record for the Camas girls soccer program -- nine consecutive state tournament berths and one state title under coach Roland Minder -- it should surprise no one that the Papermakers have reached the state semifinals.
But given the hurdles Minder's team has had to clear this fall, the fact that the Papermakers will play Issaquah on Friday in a semifinal match can accurately be described as unexpected.
In part because of injuries that have ended the season for forwards Savanna Joyce and Diane Dyra, this is not a typical Camas team. The Papermakers (17-3-1) are playing without any true forwards. But their defenders and midfielders have found ways to keep forging ahead.
"To me, it's amazing what this group of girls is accomplishing," Minder said.
The coach expects that his team is viewed as a clear underdog heading into the final four. But, pointing to unique chemistry and work-ethic, he is not lowering expectations.
"I'm certainly not going to bet against this team, given what they've accomplished so far," Minder said.
In its first season at the large-school classification, Camas finished tied with Union for the Class 4A Greater St. Helens League title. But after battling Union to a scoreless draw in the first clash of those rivals, the Papermakers lost twice to the Titans late in the season.
Still, the Papermakers -- who start freshman Lauren Rood at goalkeeper and freshman Anyssa Devera on defense -- entered the playoffs with confidence.
"To be honest, I'm not surprised" to be in the state semifinals, team captain Jamie Carter said.
While Camas has struggled at times to finish scoring opportunities -- 28 of the 55 goals Camas has scored came in three one-sided matches -- the Papermaker defense has been consistent despite its youth. Of the eight goals Camas has allowed, five came in the two late-season losses to Union.
The 3-0 loss to Union in the district championship match turned out to be a bit of fortune for the Papermakers. Union drew defending state champion Skyline, a one-loss team, in its first state tournament game and lost a tough 2-1 match. Camas -- unranked by the Seattle Times -- opened state with a 2-0 win at ninth-ranked Moses Lake and then advanced to the semifinals with a tiebreaker win over unranked Mead of Spokane.
In Issaquah, Camas faces the team ranked No. 5.
The other semifinal features Skyline against top-ranked Tahoma.

Sheridan College bond issue defeated
Date posted: August 20, 2013
SHERIDAN — Voters said "no" to the $15.85 million Sheridan College bond issue that would have paid to renovate and expand the school's tech center.
With absentee and all precincts reporting, the unofficial tally shows 2,525 voted in favor of the bond and 2,892 voted against — a margin of just 367 votes.
The bond would have raised taxes by just over $2 per month for every $100,000 of property value owned.

Check out the latest internship postings from HomeAway.
Right now I'm in the process of getting some of my friends together to coordinate my bachelor party. I have less than zero interest in the traditional approach, so I'm looking for some good outdoor activities for a bunch of dudes. We haven't decided where we're going yet, but ideally we'll rent a house instead of staying in a hotel. One of the best places to find vacation rentals is HomeAway. They're an Austin, TX based company that offers "the world's leading online marketplace of vacation rentals, with sites representing over 711,000 paid listings of vacation rental homes in 171 countries." I figured that VRBO.com was their biggest/most similar competitor, but it turns out that they own them. I guess maybe the biggest competitor is Airbnb then, though they serve a slightly different market (more apartments fewer houses).
Find a Home at HomeAway
HomeAway's other properties include VacationRentals.com, HomeAway.co.uk, OwnersDirect.co.uk, HomeAway.de, Abritel.fr, Homelidays.com, HomeAway.es, Toprural.com, AlugueTemporada.com.br, HomeAway.com.au, and BedandBreakfast.com. As you can see, they have a significant presence in quite a few international markets. HomeAway is one of those no-brainer Internet startups. People have been renting out their vacation homes for about as long as regular people have had vacation homes. Anything that makes it easier for owners and renters to connect is going successful. But it's not the idea that explains HomeAway's success (I'll bet hundreds of other startups have tried to serve the same market). The fact that since they were founded in 2005 they've been able to gain such a dominant market presence in an industry that was previously so fragmented says a lot about how they operate. HomeAway has to be a really interesting place to work, which is why you should take a look at their Careers page. Right now they have internships posted in Software Engineering and Web Analytics. Both are paid.
