Where to Get Help
- File Yourself--you can certainly file the application yourself directly with the VA. Be sure to follow all instructions carefully and include all necessary documentation. Keep copies of all correspondence between yourself and the VA and promptly respond to all requests for information. ALWAYS send all correspondence via Return Receipt.
- You can contact your local VA office and speak with a Service Officer (SO), or contact another VA-related organization such as the VFW or the DAV, etc. There is no charge or fee associated with filing for the Aid & Attendance
Improved Pension though these organizations. However, please be aware that there is the possibility that these organizations will not be fully knowledgeable about the Aid & Attendance Pension. This statement is not aimed to denigrate
the efforts of these organizations or the people who work within them--it is simply a statement of fact that needs to be known.
If you elect to work with a local branch, keep in mind that they are not required to keep a copy of the application, nor provide you with a copy. They will not mail the application "Return Receipt", and you will have no way of verifying it was ever received by the VA.
- In most cases we urge you not to sign a 21-22 making the agency "Claimant's Representative". Local offices get credits for any application they get assigned to them. The downside to this is that YOU will not have any way to follow up on the application other than going back to them. Many times Officers retire or move to another location, and if there is no record of your application, you will be starting back over at square one, and will have lost precious time.
- Many Assisted Living Facilities will work with you if they know the resident qualifies for A&A. Fortunately, all benefits are retro-dated back to the original filing date, so be sure to ask if this option is available.
- Check our Senior Care Directory to help identify a facility who may be able to help.
- You may be able to use a life insurance policy to pay for senior care while the insured is still alive. Find out more about how to convert your life insurance policy into a Long Term Care Benefit to pay for the senior care of your choice.
- ElderBenefitsConsulting.com may be an option you want to consider exploring.
- Your state Senator and Congressperson are contacts you should consider in the event your application has not been approved by 9 months. Involving them may be the key piece in getting a determination. The VA is required to respond to a Congressional inquiry within 5 business days. You should not utilize this option until it is appropriate. Doing this in the early stages will not produce the desired results.
Bottom line--do not give up if you are told by an SO or other VA representative that the Aid & Attendance Pension does not exist or that you or your loved one is not eligible if you believe they are.

Nick Kalmar's early strike gave Melbourne Heart their first-ever A-League victory today as they beat North Queensland Fury 1-0 at AAMI Park.
John van't Schip's side drew two and lost two of their first four games, having been cruelly denied a deserved victory against Perth Glory last week by Robbie Fowler's late penalty.
However, they made ideal start in this game as Kalmar turned home Rutger Worm's cross in the 11th minute. It could have been 2-0 within a minute as Matt Thompson volleyed goalwards from Alex Terra's cross but Justin Pastfield made a fine save.
Isaka Cernka almost equalised for Fury in the 28th minute when a clearance from goalkeeper Clint Bolton landed at his feet but he was unable to direct a shot into the open goal.
The Fury were turning up the pressure as the game progressed and only a superb save from Bolton denied Gareth Edds just after the hour.
However, the Heart were resilient in their determination to take all three points and successfully snuffed out any further threats before the final whistle.
"We were close last week. If you look at the five games I think we deserved the three points today, not for the way we played in the first half, which was one of our worst performances, but we improved in the second half," said van't Schip.
Melbourne Heart's first win means they move up to sixth on five points, level with fifth-placed North Queensland Fury.
Meanwhile, Adelaide United opened up a three-point advantage at the top of the standings following a 3-1 win over A-League defending champions Sydney FC.
The struggling Sky Blues went into the game without a win so far this season and fell behind at Sydney Football Stadium after just 10 minutes through Sergio van Dijk's strike.
Matthew Leckie added a second shortly before the break and the game was ended as a contest in the 53rd minute when van Dijk grabbed his second of the game.
Stephen Keller did pull one back for Sydney in the 58th minute but it proved nothing more than a consolation as they remain rooted to the foot of the table with just two points.
In contrast, Adelaide have yet to taste defeat this season and top the standings with 11 points, three ahead of Perth Glory.

June 22, 2004
Worcester, MA - Holy Cross athletic director Richard M. Regan, Jr. announced today that Adam Pascal has accepted the position to become the head men's lacrosse coach at the College.
Pascal comes to Holy Cross after spending the last two seasons as an assistant lacrosse coach at Williams College. While at Williams, Pacal worked with the offense and goalies and assisted with all practice planning, game preparation and strength and conditioning.
Prior to his tenure at Williams, Pascal spent two seasons as an assistant lacrosse coach at Harvard University. He coordinated and supervised individual training sessions and monitored the strength and conditioning program. Pascal also spent one season at Nazareth College where he assisted the head coach with practice organization and game day preparation.
A two-time All-American while at Middlebury College, Pascal still holds three NCAA Division III tournament records, including most goals in a game (8), most goals in a tournament (19) and most points in a tournament (24). He was selected in the first round of the National Lacrosse League draft by the Buffalo Bandits in 1999. Pascal then spent one season with the Boston Cannons of the Major Lacrosse League in 2001.
"Adam is a young, energetic coach, who will re-energize our men's lacrosse program," said Holy Cross athletic director Richard M. Regan, Jr. "He has played and coached at institutions that place a high value on academics which is very important to us. Adam earned the reputation of having a great work ethic and we believe that he will do a tremendous job building our program."
"I am excited for the opportunity to bring some success and tradition to the lacrosse program here at Holy Cross," Pascal stated. "I am thankful for the opportunity to become a head coach. I will continue to work hard and do everything that I can to turn this program around. "
Holy Cross posted a record of 5-9, 0-6 in Patriot League play last season.

Re: Seeking Elementary/Middle School Advice
I've got a 2nd grader and kindergarten-er in Lafayette public schools (specifically Happy Valley). I am really happy with the schools so far. I moved to Lafayette from Oakland for the schools and I haven't been disappointed. Not sure it is the same for all the schools here, but Happy Valley focuses on pdf - playtime, downtime and family time. They stress not over-scheduling kids, letting kids be kids. Academics are great - lots of support, involved parent community, relatively low class sizes (20-23 kids per class). There are great enrichment programs funded by LPIE - Lafayette Partners in Education. LPIE is funded by parents (request is $1K/per kid/per year) and community businesses. They sponser art, science and music in the schools. Overall I am very happy with Lafayette schools. happy with lafayette schools
Re: Best districts for elementary aged kids with autism
As a parent to a 9 yr old with ASD I have relocated to Lafayette specifically for the schools. My child has classic autism, late talker... And other ASD symptoms but is more in the high functioning group, not aspergers. Springhill elementary school in Lafayette is a wonderful school that offeres special Ed classes specific to kids abilities with mainstreaming into the General Ed class and a lot of awareness & acceptance for our kids. Yes, it is a bit pricey here in Lafayette & I've accepted to live in a smaller home than if like to but it's one of the best school districts in California. There's no tolerance for bulling which our ASD kids need, acceptance and understanding. I wouldn't send my kid to school Anywhere else! A.
Re: What schools have differentiated instruction?
Since you asked about Lafayette, where we live, I will say in my experience it depends on the teacher. In elementary school, my daughter, who was a very advanced reader, got some differentiated instruction, depending on the teacher. By middle school, there are many opportunities to differentiate in math but not so much in language. The one time I asked for a different assignment, as the original one was so easy for her as to be laughable, the teacher came up with a completely ridiculous and busy-work making assignment. I learned to never ask for anything like that again. Now I am a bit more humble on the whole topic, as she is plenty challenged in high school. Unless your child is profoundly gifted, I think you should be focusing on receiving good overall instruction, and not worrying too much about the differentiation. There are also plenty of opportunities to seek enrichment outside of the classroom. Just my $.02
Has anyone had the issue of not getting into your neighborhood elementary school as a new resident at Lafayette? What has the district office been telling you about the process for redirecting and process for placement? It seems to me that the district office has created a permanent problem of overcrowding the neighborhood schools. I was told that they consider all inter-district (inter-neighborhood transfers), redirected students of past years who decide to stay in their non-neighborhood schools and redirected student's siblings AHEAD of new enrollments in the neighborhood. If you think about it, new students are considered last. I've heard that almost all new students in my neighborhood almost never get into our neighborhood elementary school at first. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? If I call the school district office, I can't get a straight answer about how these decisions are made. -lafayette mom
My story: moved to lafayette from oakland a year ago. moved into the downtown neighborhood; registered by son at lafayette elementary. We recently closed on a house in the happy valley district. We really wanted to keep our son at lafayette elementary but were told we could not because lafayette elementary has a long waiting list of in-district students. So we got the boot. I'm guessing that may be in part because our son was registered but had not started yet (he starts kindergarten soon). Good luck! brenda
Nevertheless, if your understanding is correct, then I can understand that policy too. If a child is redirected, then they are sent to another school that is further from their home. They didn't have a choice in this matter. If, in time, they choose to stay at that school, then there is a good chance that the parents would like any subsequent children to also attend the same school. The school district probably understands how hard it is on families to be split up between schools.
I will tell you about my experience. We live walking distance to Lafayette Elementary. When we moved to Lafayette this past spring, neither of my two children got into our local school. It was very upsetting and frustrating. Fortunately both were redirected to the same school, Burton Valley (there was no guarantee that they would be placed at the same school).
One of my children got into Lafayette Elementary after one month at Burton. At this point, I had kids in two different schools and that was challenging. With all the extra driving and coordinating, I didn't have a lot of extra time or energy to get involved in either school! I'm sure this is what the school district wants to avoid if they are trying to keep siblings together.
My second kid got into Lafayette Elementary this summer and will be a new student there in the fall. We loved Burton, but felt that walking to school and attending with our neighbors was the right choice. The round-trip commute to Burton twice daily took close to an hour and that was also a big factor in our decision to move schools.
Good luck and hang in there. Even if you didn't get your home school upon enrolling, chances are you'll get a call this year with a spot. A neighbor of ours was redirected to Springhill and she too got a spot at Lafayette this fall. Walking to school now!
We're planning to move to Lafayette with a first grader and a third grader. The home we are considering is near one of the four schools in Lafayette, but I've heard that some of the grades may have no space. I've called the school district to enquire and they can tell me nothing. An acquaintance told me that if our neighborhood school was full, that we'd be sent across town to Burton Valley (of course this is a great school too, but just far from where we would be living).
I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences about getting their children into their neighborhood school. Was it easy? Did you have to wait for a while? If you had only one child accepted, would you split them up into two different schools and hoped that the second would eventually find a place? Does everyone eventually get into the school that they want to attend? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Excited but nervous
My family is considering moving to Lafayette for more challenging schools for our kids. Our daughter is in 1st grade in a Berkeley public school and the curriculum is just not challenging at all for her. She spends much of her day waiting for the other kids to finish their work, as her teacher does a lot of direct instruction. Her reading and mathematics skills are far above grade level and she is sort of out on her own with that. We've heard that in the Burton Valley school they have a good GATE program, while Berkeley's GATE program is basically nonexistent.
We'd be interested to hear if other families have found the Lafayette schools to be challenging enough for kids who are working one or two grade levels above.
Also how are the arts integrated into the day in Lafayette schools? Berkeley talks a lot about valuing the arts, but I don't see that at all this year in my daughter's classroom. Pondering a Move
It's a lot different out here. So many of the parents drive the humongous gas guzzlers and look at us like we are crazy for driving small fuel efficient vehicles. I don't have the need to wear designer clothes or color my hair which seems common out here.
My kids have had a hard time too. Seems like lots of family's move here who can't afford and move out after a year or two. As a result my daughter has to make new best friends every year or so. I can't wait to move somewhere where money, blond hair and designer clothes don't make the friends. -I can't wait to move back to Berkeley
For academical challenge, you may want to compare, for example, the homework in your school and also here in my son's class, and see if you feel that is challenging enough. I cannot tell you if it is more challenging than the schools in Berkeley, but at least at our son's school, they have done evaluation on his reading and math at the beginning of the school year.
The homework just started since the lastweek. He brings back the books to read based on the level that he was evaluated at. They are also doing sight words based on there level too. So,,, in terms of reading, I see some teaching differentiation there. About math, I unfortunately don't know much about the differentiation teaching in the class room, and I don't see it either in math homework, but we supplement his math at home greatly, since he loves it so much.
About math, my older son's 4th grade class room had math table every Friday. Kids in similar math level got together at each tables, parent volunteers were assigned there to let them do some math activities suitable for their level. I believe the 5th grade class is also doing the same thing.
About GATE program, the kids have a standard test at the end of 3rd grade. If your child scores very high, (I believe,,, at 99 percentile), your child is invited to do GATE program. I heard it is not a mandatory, so you can choose to stay with a regular program, or move onto GATE.
You may want to speak to PTA president too to get the feel of the community. I don't know if that is possible, but that is what I did when we were trying to decide where to move or to stay in El Cerrito. I spoke with a member of PTA in Madera Elementary, and they provided lots of information about the school.
All being said, I feel the best person who can give tailored academical education is you. You are the best person to know her strength and weakness, and also where her interests (both academical and non-academical) will lie. There are so many online websites with interesting word, math, and science games that you can print out for her. That can be a great thing to do just for fun on weekends.
Good luck! newbie mom in Lafayette
My son has a (mild) Asperger's diagnosis and we are considering moving to Lafayette or Orinda for better schools. We have started looking at different homes. While I know both these districts have very good schools in general, does anyone have information (positive or negative) on the ASD support services at a particular elementary in either of these towns? What about Happy Valley Elementary in particular? Any school in either town which you have feedback in terms of special ed services? Thanks so much for any input on this topic. -looking for school advice
I would love to hear of the experiences of kids with ADHD in Lafayette elementary schools. Is there a particular school that supports and works well with these types of kids? We will be relocating to Lafayette shortly and are weighing our options for our first grader who will be coming from an independent school. Anon.
My child will be starting Kindergarten at Springhill Elementary School in Lafayette this fall. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences, good or bad, about the two major after-school care options, Kids Hideout on campus or Happy Days preschool across the street. I'd also like to know if there are any other options in the area, particularly any home-based daycares in the area that pick up from the school. Thanks. Springhill Mom
In response to Kathy from Walnut Creek: We have found the Lafayette Public Schools to be wonderfully warm and welcoming. My children are now at Stanley Middle but went k-5 through Happy Valley. Through town sports, scouts etc we are friends with many people from the other schools too and each has much to recommend it. While each is unique, all four elementrys have a strong sense of community, active involved parents and fine staff. HV, Springhill and Lafayette are all around 450 kids, Burton is closer to 900 - but still enjoys a tight knit community. Through Lafayette Arts and Science Foundation, all the schools have strong choral music programs from K and instrumental programs from grade 4. LASF also provides a very strong art program at all schools. None of the elementry schools have foreign language available during the school day though several have pay to participate afterschool offerings. There is also a very strong private French program in town for preschool through grade 6 open to anyone wishing to sign up. Ann

Action delayed on oil production rules
December 20, 2011 at 6:00 pm in The Dickinson Press
BISMARCK (AP) New rules to restrict oil waste disposal were delayed Tuesday when Gov. Jack Dalrymple said the regulations were too vague about whether some producers would be allowed to continue dumping in open pits.

Old English/Tudor Lantern Pendant | Was $380
Item # A5700
Customize This Product
The ring on the lantern top of the Westmoreland is reminiscent of a portable "carriage-style" lantern that was hand-carried from vehicle to doorway to wall bracket, where it would hang until transport called again. This lantern pendant is a fine fit for a proper Tudor or funky little cottage, indoors or on the porch.
When early lighting designers went old-world, they went all the way. Hammered details and hand-bent designs are meant to evoke a simpler, pre-industrial time. These are substantial, dignified fixtures, and bring new meaning to the phrase "a man's home is his castle."

Hi, This is Lily Shank, I am a current Global Studies Student, fourth year. I haven't been around the coffee hour too much this year because I've been involved with stopping the complete dismantling of the General College.
General College was a gate for entry to the University of Minnesota for students who didn't meet the numerical standards but have strengths and potential outside measurement (Like me, I was a GC student), a large percentage of students of color, low income students, first generation college students, non-traditional students and students with disabilities enter here.
The University decided to turn the college into a department last year, but now they are cutting the amount of students and years in half, making it nearly ineffective. If we don't stop them now, the whole program will disappear and access to the University will continue to be diminished year after year with hiking tuition, disappearing scholarships and grants, raising of numerical standards, etc.
Only students with a lot of money whose high schools had a lot of money to prepare them for standardized testing will be able to come here. Our global studies department has been a department focused on diversity of views and backgrounds, but the way the University is headed the campus will become more and more homogeneous. When we talk about globalization and people being disadvantaged by institutional power, it happens locally to real people, and it is happening here, now. This is the local site of a global struggle for building a more equal world through access to education.
Please join in a movement for equal access to education on this campus, We will be meeting friday oct 21 at 5:00 in Blegen 150, or e-mail me at email@example.com, or check out the GCTM website at www.webegc.org.
The name says it all. Take this opportunity to introduce yourself to your classmates and future colleagues. Feel free to discuss anything relating to Global Studies, current events, student life, etc. in this category.

Fused Acrylics
Two years in the making, Tibi completed in
2008 the final stages in the development
of the Fused Acrylics, a term he coined for
his new painting technique. He has chosen
to explore the acrylics far beyond their
traditional use for their overall versatility,
resourcefulness, fast drying capabilities
and not toxic qualities. With the use of Fused
Acrylics, Tibi creates his own artistic brand
that can best be described as powerful contemporary
visuals of an unseen depth of field and richness
of color.
As the term suggests, Fused Acrylics
are the result of the fusion process between
several thin semi-transparent layers of acrylic
paint applied in-between an equal number of fully
transparent layers of acrylic medium. The combined
layers are subsequently pressed in-between two
panels, one opaque for the back and one fully
transparent for the front. The drying process
binds, or fuses, the layers and the panels together
into what becomes a finalized painting. The art
work is then mounted in an aluminum frame that
gives it stability, endurance and a sleek, contemporary
Tibi's fused acrylic paintings
range in size from 40X40 in.
to 72X96 in. (6X9 ft). Custom sizes and
themes are available on commission.

Shiplap firebricks for oven floor
Hello everybody!
I'm planning on making a 48" internal dia. round oven and have already firebricks leftover from construction of a barrel vault. I'm still just on the planning stage, though. Still a lot of things to be done. But I would like to thank Forno Bravo for this wonderful site first!
The barrel oven was supposedly for pizza and baking breads, but after using it for quite some time I realize that I could not cool it fast enough to make bread. Before the temp goes down to bread temps I have to fire it up again for pizza. I let the fire die down at 10pm and start the fire at 7am the next day so I could start baking pizza at 9am. No bread.
Still planning and reading through tons of information in the forum.
btw, has anybody used shiplap tiles/bricks?
Re: Shiplap firebricks for oven floor
Hi Kulas,
What are shiplap bricks anyway?
Re: Shiplap firebricks for oven floor
I second that question...do tell

I have not seen it yet but the refractory supplier said the sugar mill uses it for their kiln. I have only seen it in a drawing. I'll post.
I asked them if its properties are the same as the fire brick, they said 44% alumina, silica is about 38%. I'm guessing here, I actually cant find their mail that says alumina and silica content. I will post to correct if I'm mistaken when I find that mail. But I have the diagram. View the attachment below.
Re: Shiplap firebricks for oven floor
Looks like a mostly industrial item but it sounds as if it could be used - would it be less expensive or more easily accessible than firebrick where you are?
(Not sure if 'PH' in in North America or elsewhere ...)
I think the only other consideration might be that the firebrick has a very sharp edge which makes them fit together nicely without any gaps. As long as the shiplap stuff doesn't have rounded edges or corners, it seems like it would be fine since you say it's used in a kiln.

More often than not, the book is already on hold for someone else, so it may be weeks or months between the time I put the book on hold and when I eventually have it in my hot little hands. It's always a surprise what book is waiting for me when I finally get to the library. So when I began this book, I had no clue what is was about, but I had a vague recollection it had something to do with e-mails. I certainly wasn't prepared for a quirky novel that would leave me feeling so good.
Lincoln is in his late twenties, lonely and living with his mom, who cooks elaborate gourmet meals for him. He works the night shift at the local newspaper in the IT department as an Internet Security Officer. When he was hired for the position, he thought he would be protecting The Courier from evil hackers. Instead he finds himself in charge of reading employee's e-mails to ensure workers are adhering to company protocol.
He basically hates his job. He thinks it's weird he gets paid to pry into other people's personal communications. But the money is good and really, what else does he have to do other than play Dungeons and Dragons every Saturday night? He hasn't had a relationship since high school and to make matters worse, his sister will not leave him alone about moving out of his mother's house and getting on with his life.
He follows the lives of two co-workers, Beth and Jennifer, through their work correspondance because their e-mails get flagged in the IT security system quite often. He gets so immersed in their lives (through their e-mails) that he begins to feel like he knows them. Their exchange is smart, funny and quippy. (I laughed aloud so many times while reading their e-mails.)
Then they start to talk about Lincoln. Beth noticed him at the office and starts to refer to him as Mr. Cute Guy. At the same time, Beth discusses her relationship woes with a musician she has been dating since college who can't seem to fully commit and Jennifer talks in great detail about her fears of starting a family. When Jennifer becomes pregnant, their dialogue takes a more serious turn (but still with light and humorous undertones.) And through all of this, Lincoln is forced to follow them through their e-mails. And he's starting to hate himself for it.
Rowell was able to create characters that are so believable, so down-to-earth, that if you ever worked in an office, you'll find yourself drawing comparisons between them and people you actually know. In fact, she created such a depth to each character (even to the minor ones like Lincoln's mom and sister) that I found myself invested in every single of them.
Lincoln, the hero of the story, is smart, funny and just plain nice. He's a breath of fresh air, quite frankly.
Beth, who finds herself stuck in a relationship that she knows is not right, yet doesn't know how or if she should disentangle herself from it, is that self-depreciating humor kind of girl who always makes you laugh low and loud.
Jennifer is a lovable character whose fears of starting a family are familiar and her relationship with her husband is warm and endearing.
This is a fun, quirky, Shakespearean comedy of errors type story that leaves a smile plastered to your face. It's a wonderful first novel from Rainbow Rowell. I cannot wait for her next novel!
Verdict: Definitely Recommend

Toy Series
Katchoo Review
Indie Spot Light (Shocker Toys)
Packaging: Like all of the figures in the line,there is not a lot to look at in the packaging, but there is a positive. Old-fashioned file cards. Nothing big, just a back story and character art, but it is nice to see the differentiation in the cards.
Another positive in the packaging is that the bubble-pack is only attached to the card by a couple pieces of tape, so if you like to keep the card, it is easy to remove the bubble-pack without damaging anything.
Appearance: Katchoo is really the weak point in this line, and not only because she is from a comic most people don't know. One major problem is that she doesn't look very much like her comic counterpart. Despite that, she is a pretty good sculpt from the waist up, but her pants are oddly shaped, especially in the hip area. Over all it makes her look a little misshapen.
As for scale, she can fit in well with the series and with other 6 inch figures, though she is a bit shorter than most other 6 inch scale women figures.
Articulation/Poseability: Katchoo's articulation ranges from well done to downright bizarre. Knees and elbows are doubly articulated. Her chest joint has great range of motion and is extremely well hidden. Her real problem areas are her hip joints (which have very limited range of motion and, again, they look awkward) and her waist. Her waist is a ball joint which means in many poses, she has a large gap between her upper and lower bodies. Her waist joint also easily seperates often leaving her in two pieces when posing.
Accessories: Katchoo only comes with two accessories. An Isz figure to display with the Maxx figure, and an extra hand to replace her gun holding hand. It would have been nice if they would have given her an open hand or just had the gun removable from her hand. Sadly, her extra hand is a fist just like her left hand.
Overview: A somewhat disappointing figure. It is easily the worst in the series, but it is still far from the worst figure I have ever handled. It is simply adequate.

Celadon Karashishi (Chinese lion-dog)
This figure of a mythical Chinese lion-dog is a virtuosic example of the flawless green-glazed porcelain produced produced in the eighteenth century in northwestern Kyushu, Japan. Typically, the glaze was applied over a layer of white slip (liquid clay). This enhances the celadon color and exaggerates the sinuous curves that make the animal so intensely expressive. A virtually unblemished ceramic sculpture of such scale and power is a particularly unusual technical achievement. In a Buddhist context, the karashishi is symbolic of the power and authority of the Buddha's teaching. This sculpture, however, was created as a decorative object and would have been place in the tokonoma, or display alcove, of a formal Japanese room.

Pizza - Serial Number 00000001
3 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
First post, first wood fired oven, very first PIZZA - Yummmmm
Seafood pizza, sour cream base, grated mozzarella, lots of prawns, calamari slices, scallop, red onion, garlic and dried chillies - dress with coriander (not in Pic). Pizza S/N 00000002 - Pepperoni with dripping cheese
Bloody Bliss....
Re: Pizza - Serial Number 00000001
Welcome Al!
Goods start on the pizza - but you may want to drop the base heat down a bit and add some flame. This will minimise the base charring and will cook the top evenly too. Get the FB free eBook and check out the section on fires - I found it very useful.
Re: Pizza - Serial Number 00000001
Great idea for a pizza - anything in your sour cream base besides sour cream?
Re: Pizza - Serial Number 00000001
Nice setting for a gathering for pizza and whatever else you're preparing that day. Keep the food pics coming!
Re: Pizza - Serial Number 00000001
Thanks Guys. I downloaded the book last night. I will study it before the next Pizza night on Sat. I didn't get the oven to full temp. Was a bit nervous. Will be braver next time. The garlic is crushed and mixed with the sour cream, nothing else added. If you dont like the chillis. Cracked pepper is great as well. All the best. Al

So, you're asking yourself, "Does she like me?". Well, I've got the answer for you:
Probably not.
Just kidding, lets find out!
Signs of female attraction, though often apparent, can be pretty difficult to for us guys to decode. Women are always acting mysterious and confusing, like a Pynchon novel.
So, if you like a girl, but keep wondering, "Does she like me?", keep an eye out for all this crap:
1. Body Language
Body language can be an easily observable sign of female attraction. Here are some tell-tale physical signals that she is attracted to you.
What to look for:
Next time you're talking with her, see if she...
2. Appearance
In general, girls usually try to look as good as possible. But, if a lady is interested in you, she will try to look her absolute best if she expects to see you.
If you're planning on seeing each other, when you meet up, see if she happens to be wearing a new sweater, or if she spent a little more time on her makeup. Also, a new hair style or perfume could be positive indicators of attraction.
If it seems like she spent more time and energy than usual to cultivate her appearance, she's probably attracted to you.
3. Communication
This shouldn't come as a surprise, but if a woman is attracted to someone, she'll naturally want more access to that person. This means more communication.
Take note if she looks you up on facebook, or starts to send you text messages out of the blue.
If you're impatient, there is a way you can test this. Send her a message and take note of...
A. The amount of time it takes her to respond.
B. The complexity of the message she sends back.
A quick response could indicate that a message from you was important to her, such that she did not disregard it, or put it off until later.
If her response goes beyond what you initiated, such that it requires another response from you, this means she wants to continue the conversation, as opposed to a quick, short response, that might indicate a lack of interest. Does she like me? Hmm... It's a good question. But, now that you know these signs of female attraction, you can attempt to figure it out.

The Premier Blog of the West
Tasting Panel: Schlafly Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
St. Louis is a beer city, and not just because it's the birthplace of Anheuser-Busch, but also because of operations like the Saint Louis Brewery, makers of Schlafly Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, a hearty year-round offering aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels from World Cooperage in Lebanon, Missouri, that's perfect for dead-of-winter nights (and days).
Not exactly chomping at the bit to sample another barrel-aged beer, or the other option —a blended whiskey— most of the editorial team sat this one out, leaving Cowboys & Indians' resident aficionados of adult beverages to drink the 750-milliliter bottle. Thankfully, the dirty job — someone's got to do it — was also darn tasty.
José R. Ralat (associate editor): [takes a whiff] Whoa. What's the alcohol by volume percentage on this one?
Steven Phelps (website content manager): [takes a whiff] 10.5. It's heady, and by that I mean, the smell of alcohol is apparent in the head.
JR: It has a smokiness that lingers and a sense of wet tobacco — in a good way. Big on the malts with great cereal notes.
SP: Crème brûlee, too, but I also taste the hops in the finish. It's like the best chocolate orange ever.
JR: Hands down — bottoms up? — my favorite Schlafly beer, to date.

Concerns over ambulance delays after Notts heart attack patient died
Posted: February 19, 2014|
A PATIENT from Notts died after he suffered a heart attack and spent nearly two hours lying on a floor waiting to be taken to hospital.
An East Midlands Ambulance Service report into "serious incidents" has revealed "concerns regarding the delay in treating the patient".
And the documents also show that on ten occasions 999 call handlers initiated "safeguarding referrals", but the service had "no written procedures in place" and the referrals were not processed or shared with local authorities.
A safeguarding referral is filed when there is concern over a person's safety and they may be considered to be in immediate danger.

Heart attack patient kept waiting - after paramedics lose ambulance keys
Ambulances left standing idle because of paramedics shortage
In the case of the unnamed man who suffered a cardiac arrest, the documents said he initially had a fall.
He then died after being on the floor for an hour and 45 minutes.
"The Emergency Medical Dispatcher coded the call incorrectly taking the patient's medical condition over the method of injury," the report stated.
"An ambulance was called for a patient with a suspected fall. Whilst a responder was on scene [the] patient developed chest pain. There was a delay in getting further resources to the patient. [The] patient suffered a cardiac arrest after being on the floor for 1hr 45 minutes. [The] patient died in hospital."
Martin Gawith, chairman of Healthwatch Nottingham, a group which represents patients in the city, said: "The safeguarding thing is, to say the least, disappointing. It's obviously worrying. That's something that just should not happen, full stop.
"We do, however, recognise that the new management of the ambulance service has a big job on its hands to turn the operation round. We still remain confident that it can and we will support them.
"We must give the management time to turn it round."
The ambulance service was called to a risk summit in October last year, after concerns about its performance and patient safety were raised.
And after submitting a plan to outline how the service will improve, an 'oversight group' made up of local health chiefs including GPs, watchdog the Care Quality Commission and NHS managers will hold it to account with fortnightly meetings.
A spokesperson for EMAS said last night: "We encourage staff to report serious incidents and near misses so we can learn from mistakes and accidents and take steps to prevent them happening again.
"It's important to keep the number of cases in perspective because over a full year EMAS crews respond to over 750,000 emergency calls.
"The number of serious incidents reported equates to one case arising every 10,377 jobs.
"We have introduced clearer guidelines to staff on reporting safeguarding incidents.
"We also now carry out daily checks to ensure that referrals received over the previous 24 hours have been passed on to the relevant authorities.
"Additional training was given to the member of control who did not categorise a call correctly and we are confident this will avoid a similar problem arising in future.
"The error did play a part in the arrival time of the ambulance but we were under significant pressure from other 999 calls at the time and this also had an impact on the response time."

Given that the coalition government has decided that we have too many MPs, it seems logical to ask whether we have too many councillors. The question may be one council taxpayers will ask when they see how much they are paying for KCC's 84 elected representatives in figures for allowances and expenses published today.
How much county councillors claimed last year>>>
The overall sum claimed by county councillors in 2010-2011 was £1.85million - pretty much in line with previous years but about £42,000 more than last year.
I think many councillors work pretty hard and do a decent job for their constituents but I've often sat at meetings at County Hall - especially full council meetings - and wondered exactly why we have so many (notwithstanding the fact that Kent is a large county).
Like it or not, the facts of cabinet government mean that only a select few are involved in the important decision making stuff. If you're a backbencher, you're pretty much sidelined from the decision-making process and when it comes to scrutiny, have only a minimal amount - actually pretty negligible - of influence.
Which makes it all the more surprising that there are, despite this concentration of power within the cabinet, that there are currently 106 county council committees and forums established by KCC. That's more than one committee/board/forum per member.
List of KCC committees here
So do we get value for money and would KCC be any different if it was represented by say, 60 county councillors, rather than 84? Democracy needs strong political advocates and it is vital that there are strong checks and balances in the system but I do sometimes sense that County Hall would get along just as well with fewer politicians.
Not for the first time, I'm struck by the fact that many county councillors appear to be devoted petrol heads when it comes to going about their official business.
Despite espousing more use of public transport, many councillors prefer to let the car rather than the train - or bus - take the strain. It can be tricky getting to County Hall from some of Kent's furthest flung corners but it is not as if County Hall is miles away from a train station (you can see Maidstone East from the entrance to Sessions House).
It's worth pointing out that councillors' milage rates have recently increased from 40 pence to 45 pence a mile.

Hi Arthur, I can't over-recommend getting a dual core PC (be it a laptop or desktop). The amount of CPU throughput is much great for not a considerably greater amount of cash. 64bit CPU extensions are becoming standard these days, and while 64bit distros seem to just be coming into their own, you have complete 32bit backwards compatibility if you find that your favourite distro isn't 64bit, or 64bit doesn't meet your needs. Athlon64 X2 laptops don't seem to be particularly available at the moment, instead you might want to look for the Core 2 Duo based laptops. The earlier Core Duo (1st gen Core architecture) didn't include 64bit extensions, which isn't really a problem, but it's something worth taking into consideration. I've found in the past that AMD based chipsets (particularly laptop ones) seem to have some issues with Linux. Things seem to be much better with very recent kernels, but Intel chipsets seems to work better in general. Battery consumption on the Intel Core platform seems to be better than the AMD mobile platform, though I'm not sure how much this would be a problem if you're mainly running off of the power mains. Hopefully this helps some .. later, Steve

It is the series' first stand-alone expansion, meaning it does not require the base game to function.Rebellion adds new "loyalist" and "rebel" sub-factions to the game. These sub-factions gain exclusive access to new technologies and ship variants. Additions also include new victory conditions, capital ships for each faction, maneuverable corvette-class ships, and titan-class ships which can single-handedly wipe out entire armies. On a more technical level, the expansion improves lighting and particle effects, artificial intelligence, CPU usage, modding support and adds Impulse::Reactor support for improved connectivity with Stardock's Impulse platform.DLCForbidden WorldsThe Forbidden Worlds DLC pack introduced four new planet types to colonize, a new planet specialization system, 15 new research subjects and 40 new planet bonuses.System RequirementsMinimumRecommendedOS: Windows 7 / Vista SP2 / XP SP3OS: Windows 7Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3GHz Processor or EquivalentProcessor: Intel Core i5 or Equivalent ProcessorMemory: 2 GB RAMMemory: 4 GB RAMGraphics: 256 MB DirectX 9.0c Compatible Video Card w/Pixel Shader 3.0 SupportGraphics: 1 GB DirectX 9.0c Compatible Video Card w/Pixel Shader 3.0 SupportDirectX: 9.0cDirectX: 9.0cHard Drive: 5 GB HD spaceHard Drive: 5 GB HD spaceSound: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Sound CardSound: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Sound Card

If you'd like to make these cute little "Flap Lock" Origami Envelopes–all you'll need is a piece of square paper…any size. I used Christmas scrapbook paper.
1. Fold the paper in half to form a triangle.
Make sure your edges are even.
2. Take the top corner of the first layer and fold it down to the bottom edge.
3. fold the right corner about 1/3 of the way to the left.
4. Take the left corner and fold it to the other end. Your envelope should be rather square shaped now.
5. Fold the point of the flap over the other flap back to the left edge of the model.
6. Fold the point of the flap up to the top corner of the flap.
6. Make a squash fold on this flap.
7. Make sure you flatten it well, as this will help secure the envelope closed.
8. Fold the very top point down to the bottom edge. Or, the bottom edge of the square you formed by "squashing."
9. Put the top flap (the portion you just folded down) into the "pocket" that was formed by the squash fold.
And there you have it!
Now scurry off and make a million of these–or at least 24 if you're using them for the Family Advent Countdown Calendar.
Not in the mood to fold your own? Check out the pre-folded Origami Envelopes here!
These envelopes are so cute. I'm thinking about writing a letter to some of our grandchildren on a square sheet of paper and then folding it into an envelope. I think they will be amazed at how clever their grandmother can be. ;o)
Very great post. I simply stumbled upn your weblog and wished to mention that I've
really enjoyed surfing aroujd your weblog posts. After all I will be subscribing in your rsss feed and I hope you write again soon!

Read more: "Special report: The fallout from Fukushima"
On 13 March, an essay entitled "Why I am not worried about Japan's nuclear reactors" appeared on a new and unknown blog. Within hours the post had gone viral – a testament to the power of hyperlinking and social media.
The article echoed across Facebook and Twitter, where CNBC's Jim Cramer recommended it as the "best piece on the nuke issue". The high-profile sites The Telegraph and Discover cited the essay and Business Insider reproduced it in full, with a headline proclaiming, "You Can Stop Worrying About A Radiation Disaster In Japan – Here's Why".
Pro-nuclear websites also seized upon the post, including theenergycollective.com and bravenewclimate.com.
Then the web changed its mind.
By 15 March, two articles in particular had emphasised that the author, Josef Oehmen – whom the original blog identified as a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – had no background in nuclear science: Salon published an article debunking the essay, and the blog Genius Now even questioned Oehmen's motives for writing.
Nuclear family
So who exactly is Josef Oehmen and why did he write about the nuclear accidents in Japan? Oehmen agreed to tell New Scientist his side of the story – and it suggests that a minimum of research by the mainstream journalists who quoted his essay could have established much earlier that it was not the definitive account they thought it was.
Josef Oehmen readily admits that he is not a nuclear scientist. He says he has a PhD in mechanical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. He currently works as a research scientist, studying risk management at MIT's Lean Advancement Initiative and, according to his online profile, he wrote his PhD thesis on supply-chain risk management with a focus on China. People who study risk management learn to identify and mitigate anything that might compromise a business's efficiency or profit.
Oehmen explains that his father worked for a national nuclear research centre in Germany, and that over the years he has built up a basic understanding of how nuclear power plants work. "I grew up with a family that was exposed to the issues surrounding nuclear power, because my father worked on nuclear energy and instrumentation," he says. "We would always discuss the pros and cons of nuclear energy at dinner and have our opinion of what was reported in the news. And I personally always had a curiosity for the technical details."
On 11 March, Oehmen says he received a phone call from his cousin, Jason Morgan, who lives with his wife and daughter in Kawasaki, Japan, not too far from Tokyo. Morgan needed advice. He explained that his mother, panicked by the threat of a nuclear crisis in Japan, insisted that he return home to Australia. But Morgan, immersed in a frothing stew of conflicting media reports, could not decide whether he was in enough danger to merit an evacuation. So he did what anyone might do – he called up the best-informed person he knew to help him make sense of it all.
Oehmen told his cousin that he would need to do some research before he could offer any advice, and he began sifting through online articles. He says he was appalled to discover that "people had not the least bit of understanding about nuclear physics", and describes much of what he read as hyperbolic.
Boiled up
He turned to online resources like the website of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to learn more about boiling water reactors – the type of reactors at Fukushima – and used that scientific context to evaluate the news reports and the threat to his cousin. Oehmen returned Morgan's call and, after explaining some of the mechanics of the nuclear reactors in Fukushima, said that in his opinion dangerous levels of radiation would not reach Kawasaki.
Morgan was relieved and asked Oehmen to write up an email he could send to his worried mother in Australia. Oehmen obliged and worked on the email from 10 pm on 12 March to 3 am the next morning. It was a long message with detailed and technical descriptions of how Fukushima's boiling water reactors work.
But instead of simply emailing the essay around the family, Morgan started up a new blog and posted his piece there so other family members and friends could access it. He also tweeted the article to the fewer than 50 followers he had at the time.
Later on that Sunday morning, Oehmen awoke to the incessant quivering of his cellphone, which was quickly filling up with messages. "Dude, check your email," read one text message from Morgan. The blog adaptation of Oehmen's email had gone viral, gaining more than 50,000 views.
"It hit me in the gut," Oehmen says. What he maintains was originally intended for a few family members was suddenly an internet phenomenon. "I wanted to be absolutely sure what I wrote was as accurate as possible so I wasn't adding to all the confusion," he says. So he contacted several people at MIT, including Richard Lester, head of the department of nuclear science and engineering. Lester worked with his department to set up a website run by MIT students in nuclear science and engineering with guidance from their professors. They revised and reposted Oehmen's original essay, editing it to ensure accuracy.
