The Potato Report
MySA staffers, E-N folk and whoever else we'd like to include discuss, ponder and obsess over some of our favorite shows.
Monthly Archive for October, 2010
'Glee' podcast: 'Grilled Cheesus'
Kurt's fellow Gleeks help him cope. (FOX) We actually dug this episode, although it might not entirely sound like it. For example, podcaster Jessica Elizarraras confessed that her eyes didn't water even once during "Grilled Cheesus." Ben Olivo's eyes got watery, at least. Yet, we give the episode considerable more love than the first two […] [Read More]
Caprica: A cure for human grief and a virtual heaven
The second-half season opener of Caprica almost snuck up on me. Can I say I missed it? Not really. I was looking more forward to "Law & Order: UK" now showing on BBC America. At least there I got my Bamber fix. Looking as delectible as always, and using his normal British accent. A little […] [Read More]
'Chuck' podcast: 'Chuck vs. the Cubic Z'
Morgan feels the wrath of fans of "Spy Attack." NBC The great storytelling and laughs continue for "Chuck." We all agree, the show manages to make crappy actresses look good, e.g. Nicole Richie. And we loved how they brought back Big Mike, and how he earned his place as the Buy More's No. 2 man […] [Read More]

I never thought I would be going on one of these sites, but it looked like there was some pretty interesting individuals here and I thought I would give it a shot. I'm looking for someone for a long term relationship. Someone who will complement me and is willing to try new things. I am health conscious and I would hope the person I am with is too. I would say that I'm in pretty good shape and believe that we can overcome most any thing in life if we have our health. Whereas, you can have all the money in the world and you still can't buy health or happiness. I'm family orientated and I'm very close to my family and friends. I find family and friends very important in my life. I believe we only have one life to live and we should live each day to the fullest. I feel a relationship is based on trust, honesty, communication, and unconditional love. I believe if you are missing anyone of these components in a relationship you're in for a rough road. I have never been married and once I commit to marriage I want both of use to be one with each other. Always work through our problems and not against each other. I feel that we should support each other and enjoy the company of each other (best friends forever). I find that as I go through the questions on this site knowing that we all have certain preferences, but nothing is set in stone. I think sometimes we will be surprised who might come up. I feel that mutual attraction is important and we should both complement one another. Good luck and I'm looking forward to finding that someone special.

I like to travel when I can. I would like to travel to the south pacific and australia. I like going off the beaten path and learn about new cultures when I travel. I have friends that I have met in Mexico, Guatemala, and the Cayman Islands.
I try to eat healthy and stay in shape. I enjoy all types of music except RAP and I'm Ok with some country, but it's not my favorite. My preference in music is Jazz and classic rock.
I enjoy being on the water fishing and diving as well as being with friends. I always like to try different things and learn from others. I would like to find someone to learn ballroom dancing with or maybe teach me. I enjoy movies with substance.
I enjoy adventure novels Clive Cussler and anything that you can read and learn something new from.

Primevara 60
i am interested in the Primevara 60 pizza oven. does anyone out there own one??? what are the pro's and con's???
Re: Primevara 60
The Primavera 60 oven is one of our bestselling ovens with [many] hundreds having been sold all across the US and overseas. This oven comes finished and with a small amount of assemble for the stand you would be up and firing in no time. One thing to consider is with a 24" cooking floor the Primavera 60 model is our smallest oven so you would want to consider the volume of cooking you would plan on doing in the oven. The Primavera 60 oven does have a very fast heat up time at only 20 minutes which makes it possible for even a busy consumer to cook home fresh pizza on a week night! To discuss all of our oven model option or for more information on the Primavera 60 please feel free to call us and speak with one of our knowledgeable sales staff or you can read more about the Primavera 60 at these links...

Re: Primevara 60
Is there any difference between the primavera60 and 70 besides the cooking floor diameter (24" vs. 28") and metal stand not included with the P70? One earlier post mentioned the P70 being "lower profile" (lower dome height?).
Re: Primevara 60
Hi There :)
Both Primavera 60 and Primavera 70 have a finished dome height of 26". As you stated the main differences are the cooking surface size and that the Primavera 60 comes with a stand although you can purchase it without the stand as well. Below are some links you can use to compare the two including dimensions...

Re: Primevara 60
I've owned a P60 for a year now. Let me know if you'd like a pro/con or if you have any questions about it.
Re: Primevara 60
i would like to know what you like and dislike about the p60. i am interested in one because of limited space but want to know if its worth the money....
Re: Primevara 60
Here's a short thread at another site on the P60:
My Friends new Forno (fbpv60)
Re: Primevara 60
Re: Primevara 60
What I mainly dislike is that it's 24 inches. After you get a feel for it, you'll likely want something larger.
However, the size really does have some definite advantages. I can go from ambiant temp to cooking temperatures in around 30 minutes. That means it gets used a LOT more than a larger oven might. It's really no big deal to fire it on a weeknight.
It's absolutely worth the money, IF you either don't want to build your own or you think you're going to move. If you move, you can take the P60 with you. However, you can build one of Forno Bravo's prefab kits or buy one of their Pompeii kits for significantly less money, and get a bigger oven. Knowing what I know now, that's probably what I should have done.
Either way, a WFO is a fantastic investment. It will repay you in multiple ways. We just did our second Thanksgiving turkey in the P60, and it was wonderful.
Re: Primevara 60
Does FB allow a third party shipper which charges quite a bit lower? The shipping represents close to 30% of the total cost.

New Direction - Need Advice
by Bird, Performer
- Created: January 22, 2011, 7:50 pm
For years, I have worked for others, and now I want to work for myself. I would love to start a homebased online business and then work into a brick and mortar store later. I am wanting to start out online first in order to keep overhead down. I can do the website myself. I have an AAS degree in Marketing/Management, so I should be able handle that side of things.
The two things I'm thinking about are either an online travel agency or an online bakery. I know with the bakery, I would have to have a food service license and I would have to package certain items with cold packs in order to keep them fresh while in route to customers. I even have at least one supplier in mind already for the bakery. I love to bake and I love ooey gooey goodies - so the bakery is right up my alley.
On the other hand, I also love to travel and I have always dreamed of going to exotic places like Figi and Hawaii as well as places with tons of history like Ireland, Scotland, and France. I just don't have a clue as to where to get the information to start the travel agency - as far as literature and the like. I already have a marketing strategy in mind though.
Any suggestions about these or other ideas would be great and very much appreciated. Often fresh eyes and a fresh mind will help out!

I've been saying for a long time that entrepreneurship is the survival skill of the twenty-first century. We can no longer rely on existing institutions to save' us. Many people are taking this downturn of the economy as an opportunity to turn what they love doing into a business. We must learn how to save ourselves, to become responsible for creating our own livelihood.All businesses are created twice - once as an idea, and then again in physical form. In order to get past the idea stage into physical reality, you must have some business tools and a blueprint or business plan. Not everyone is suited to the entrepreneurial way of life. PlanningWithAHeart is a process of uncovery.' Using this process, you can delve deeper and deeper into your idea, your market, your competition; you'll uncover the true path to follow. You'll find that your heart will lead you. Which of these business ideas excite you the most? Does either of them stimulate you in ways that make you want to take the steps to succeed? Will either keep you enjoying the process of creating and running a business for many years? Most business coaches just outline the bare bones of the tools you need, but to succeed in a new business you must be sure your heart and mind are working together.

Hi, Becky, Why don't you just do both on and offline. I mean why just do one and rule out the other. Setting up a website isn't that hard. While having your real 'offline' bakery, you can promote your online store by giving people flyers, so people can see your 'promotions' and can also order online and get it delivered. Collect emails so you can do weekly/monthly promotions to boost sales. Or give some discounts on slow days, and promote new products now and then. These are just my thoughts; in short why limit yourself...
Bird | Performer | 5/27/2010 - 9:30 pm
Thanks everyone for such great advice. This is what I was hoping for - ideas and good sound advice. I appreciate all of your comments and they have been taken to heart. Since I don't have experience in the travel industry, I know my business will need to be unique to stand out from the rest of the crowd. Actually, I've already gotten a couple of ideas on which direction to go on that. It will serve a niche that is not served very often or very well. For the bakery - I do have a LOT of experience baking and I've tried my recipes out on friends and family members and the LOVE everything I've baked. So far, not one complaint. So maybe the bakery should be first and I will probably skip the online bakery and just do a brick and mortar store instead. Again, thanks so much for all your assistance and advice. Best Wishes in all your endeavors! Becky (aka Bird)
InsuranceDave | Window Shopper | 5/26/2010 - 10:29 pm
Bird, I hate to say it but both of these options might not be feasible. People still don't like to order food online, so a bakery won't really work. You can use online as an extension off your brick-and-mortar presence, but not vice-versa. About travel agents, much of the work there has disappeared because of online outlets like CheapFlights or Lowfares.com, which do most of the work. There just isn't a long term there. I'd look into the Bakery brick-and-mortar and see what you can do there, then build an online presence from that. Good luck!
licofindiainsur | Window Shopper | 5/26/2010 - 7:42 am
That is great idea. I was also working for others but last year I quite my job to work for myself. I am not sure about the online bakery but what I can suggest you is virtual assistant business. You can start VA business and earn decent money. This is so far the best option with less or no investment. Good luck This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

Bird, I admire your passion to work for yourself! When starting any business, the upfront research is of critical importance. That's true whether you're starting online or brick and mortar. You know all this, since you have a degree in Marketing/Management. The trick is that the way you do research is different for brick and mortar businesses than it is for online. With either business, you need to get to know the nature of both your customer's needs and your competition. Online, that means doing keyword research and determining what keywords lead the customer to buy something. And it means assessing the competition to determine how difficult it would be for you to be successful in that market. If you know how to do those things - you're ready to start your research. If not, your first step is to learn how to do online research. One free resource is called the 30 Day Challenge, and helps you research a niche and test it. If I were starting out online, that's where I'd begin. This message has been edited to remove links to commercial sites.

First of all congratulation for stepping into the biz world. Now regarding the two business. Bakery business is something unique and not very popular on the internet. But it can be easily made popular. In bakery, you need to provide good quality stuff with good delivery time since food items are perishable and also needs some care during the delivery. In case of a travel business, there are many small online tour agents who have partnership from bigger market players. They just use their service to book a package and get the commission just like an affiliate. So the competition is tough in travel. I would suggest you to go for a bakery eshop only if you have good delivery resources. You can also try other biz like Selling Fishing goods online, selling shoes, books shop and many more.
teamextension | Contributor | 5/23/2010 - 9:54 pm
Hi Bird. I'm glad you are taking first steps on starting your own business. About the bakery, you have to provide baked goods that one cannot find in their local bakery. People will buy from you because of quality and selections, and not cost. About not knowing much about travel agencies, you can do some preliminary research first. You can always ask an existing travel agent for advice or read a book like 'Home-Based Travel Agent' by Kelly Monaghan. I personally buy most of the things I need online. I might buy from an online bakery as a gift to someone living in a different state. I probably won't use a small online travel agency since there'a a lot of popular travel sites online.
davef | Creator | 5/23/2010 - 3:05 pm
Between the bake shop and the travel agency, do you have any experience in either industry? It's hard to start up a new business while you are learning about it as you go. I can't suggest any specifics for either business, but I can make one anecdotal comment about being an on-line travel agency: There are a lot of them out there. Your best bet would be to find a niche market and excel in it, or you are going to either spend a fortune on advertising or just not get found. If I were starting any internet business, I would first think about what my potential customers would type in the Google Search bar, then I'd type it and see what comes up. You may discover a niche with very little competition, or you may discover a lot of people already in the business. Either way, it's beneficial to know what you're competing with.

"Prior to that point, I believe that people kind of intuitively had adopted the principles of deception without realizing that what they were doing was essentially exactly what magicians do," Melton said.
The magician and the spy face different stakes -- one risks reputation, the other his life. And while the magician can control the stage, lighting and the audience's line of sight, the spy must work in an unpredictable environment, Melton said.
Still, he emphasized, both must plan a process of deception and misdirection to successfully execute a performance.
"The lesson of Mulholland is that events don't happen as single isolated events. ?They become part of a clandestine choreography that when successful allows the operation to take place without any awareness of surveillance or bystanders," he said. "Mulholland taught that the world is a stage and everywhere you perform you can prepare it so that there's more chance for success."
But the spy is unlike the magician in one more key way: He never gets to take his bow.
"When it's successful," Melton said. "Silence replaces applauses."

Groton — Electric Boat now says it will lay off about 200 fewer shipyard workers than expected after the loss of two major repair contracts, but it is still estimating that 300 designers could lose their jobs.
On Monday, 85 carpenters, painters, sheet metal workers, ship fitters and divers were told they will be let go Nov. 15, bringing the total number to 234 after EB issued layoff notices to 55 carpenters in July and to 94 trades workers in August.
The union that represents the shipyard workers had said last month it was told by EB that 450 to 500 employees could lose their jobs in the coming months because of the Navy's decisions to scrap rather than repair the USS Miami and to use workers from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, instead of EB workers, to repair the USS Springfield. Just over 12,000 people work for EB, of which 9,200 work at either the Groton or New London sites.
Company spokesman Robert Hamilton said he does not expect that any more employees will be affected by the change in plans for the two submarines because EB spread out some of the work that needs to be done on Virginia-class submarines over the coming months and adjusted the workers' shifts.
But, he said, EB is notifying the union that represents the designers that there will be some adjustments as major design projects finish, including the project to modify two older submarines to serve as moored training ships.
Fewer designers will be needed as the design for a new ballistic-missile submarine to replace the Ohio-class boats moves further along, Hamilton added. He said the company estimates 300 designers could be laid off between this year and next year.
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, said he continues to work with the Navy to find additional work for EB to reduce the number of layoffs and "protect critical personnel."
"We cannot allow large numbers of layoffs to just sort of happen," he said Monday.
Courtney said it was too soon, however, to make any announcements about those efforts since so much will depend on what happens with the federal budget.
The government is funded only through Sept. 30 and the necessary appropriations bills have yet to pass. Congress must either pass the bills or a continuing resolution to extend the current spending rates, or the government will shut down.
"It's like five-dimensional chess right now to keep track of all the challenges that surround this," Courtney said.
More than 350 people were hired at EB late last year and early this year to work on the Miami (SSN 755) and to perform maintenance work on other submarines. The Groton-based submarine was severely damaged at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in May 2012 when a civilian worker set a fire on board during a planned 20-month overhaul.
The Navy announced in August that the cost estimate for the Miami repairs had increased from $450 million to $700 million and, given the current fiscal constraints, top Navy leaders had decided to change course. EB also was expecting to repair the Springfield.
EB expects to start repairs in December on the USS Providence, a submarine that initially was scheduled to go to Kittery. But that $45 million job represents far fewer labor hours.

I try to access my yahoo! email account. After I enter my password it says that I logged in from a different device. It asks for Captcha then for a security question!
- I never filled correctly my security questions
- I never filled an alternative email and
- I also never filled a mobile number.
So what am I going to do? Yahoo support really sucks, as there is no phone number, or online chat, or at least IRC. SOMETHING. The only thing I see is pre-defined Questions & Answers. And nothing else. Noone mentions that it can stand the same situation as me!
What can I do?
Posted 09 March 2013 - 16:56
What is the original computer you were using to set up and use the Yahoo account ?
Go back to that, and you should be fine.
You do NOT need a mobile number -- don't fall for that Yahoo! trick.
Posted 09 March 2013 - 17:05
^ That also wastes your minutes, for those who have limits, and invites spam/robo-calls.
Yahoo! will never get my personal number.

Originally written on Red's Army | Last updated 4/17/13
In a recent sit down interview with Greg Dickerson, Kevin Garnett discussed "the chant" from Game 6. Part of what he said is in the headline. Here's more: "It's like someone told me at the gas station, 'I'm a Celtic too. This is my team, I was raised with this team,' that's pretty much what it is. People feel like they are Celtics. When you hurt, they hurt. When you scream, you're screaming for them. When you're applauding, and rooting, and going, they feel like they are empowering you. I get it, I get it… it took me a minute, but I get it." After recent events, this comment made weeks ago is even more poignant. The regular season ends tonight. The Celtics will play 81 games instead of 82… the first time that will have ever happened in the NBA. Then the focus turns to the New York Knicks. And it's a New York Knicks team dealing with the devastating, sudden retirement of one of its players. April 17, 2013 – EVP, Basketball Operations & GM Glen Grunwald

Foxs News' Wallace praises Obama
But anchor also points to 'overreaching' with trillion dollar deficits
The anchor of Fox News' Sunday political show, Chris Wallace, gave an overflow crowd inside Rhodes College's Hardie Auditorium mostly words of praise.
Praise for Rhodes, where Wallace's son is a freshman baseball player; for the city of Memphis, despite having broken his arm here last April 4 while in town to interview John McCain; and, getting to the point of his appearance, perhaps more words of praise for President Obama than the crowd might have expected from a Fox News anchor.
Describing his first sit-down interview with Obama in the Oval Office, Wallace said he was very much struck that less than one month into the job "he wore the mantle of the presidency very easily. And I don't mean lightly or nonchalant about it. But he seemed totally comfortable in his role."
Comparing Vice President Joe Biden to his predecessor, Dick Cheney, Wallace found himself describing Obama in terms that could be construed as unintentional criticism of President Bush.
"He's in charge," Wallace said of Obama. "He knows who he is. He knows what he wants. And he knows what he thinks. ... I don't think anybody could have that kind of influence on Barack Obama. I don't think he's a guy who feels he needs to be led around."
Not that Wallace, himself a White House correspondent for NBC News from 1982-89, did not find reasons for skepticism.
He spoke of the possibility of "overreach" from the Obama administration, called the president's budget proposal "one of the most radical documents of my lifetime" and seemed to strike a chord with the audience when he talked about the danger of "trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see."
Whether that ambitious agenda succeeds in rescuing the economy, said Wallace, will have as much to do with whether Obama is able to extend Democratic majorities as any other variable.
During the question and answer period, though, Wallace was very clear in telling the audience, "You should want him to succeed."
By some measures, the Obama presidency has been very good to Fox News, which Wallace points out is not exactly the favored news outlet of Democrats.
A Fox News publicist, in advance of Wallace's appearance, sent along ratings numbers showing Fox's enormous success in these first 91 days of Obama's presidency -- it was the third-best quarter in the cable channel's history.
In lamenting the difficult business environment faced by traditional media -- especially for the newspapers he says he cherishes -- Wallace said, "You're not seeing the decline of Fox News, baby!"

The writing and acting on this episode are a cut above the rest, making this a real gem of the series. The dialogue and story are believable and it did not take me long to get into it. Very nice surprise endng too.

I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. This story ranks up to Alfred Hitchcock good. Sam Dann wrote a dynamic Romantic-Mystery story. Here we have a girl living in the 1910's who loves an astronomer, but her father believes she'll be better off being married to a boring gentleman that will be financially stable. The father puts the 2 men to the test and takes them on an expedition to the Arctic. Her father freezes to death. The 2 men return home, along with the dead man's diary that reads his decision on who should marry the girl. She marries the astronomer. At first she was happy about it, but things have changed for the worse. More importantly, the rejected guy reveals the ugly truth to her about what was written in the diary. One of the BEST surprising endings I've ever heard! Unfortunately, the last few minutes of this story was cut off, so no one knows what the resolution was. We have a climax, but no resolution. The cast was dynamic as well: Fred Gwynne (as J.J. Trelawney), Marian Haley (as Marcella Trelawney), Earl Hammond (as William Stillwell & the Reporter) and Lloyd Battista (as Edward Wilson: the Astronomer). I loved Fred Gwynne's line at the 19-minute mark when he uses the old phrase, "Cut the mustard" which means "to perform well" or "to meet expectations" because his character & Earl Hammond's character are battling against the girl & the astronomer. One sees Marriage as a business, but never sees love as a benefit. One would see love as something that feeds the soul, but another would see love as something that doesn't feed the stomach. THE CYNICAL vs. THE SPIRITUAL. The sound effects of the door knocking, violin playing at the concert at Carnegie Hall, patrons murmuring, tableware clinking, classical music playing, seagulls, a buoy, music band playing by the docks, unfolding the letter, and the howling wind in the Arctic were spot on. That goes the same with the music. There were compromising tracks in ACT-1, agonizing themes in ACT-2, and sinister tunes in ACT-3 that was building the mystery up. And finally, our Host with his dynamic contribution. In his prologue, he quotes Walt Whitman who said, "I am mortis'd and tenon'd in granite. And I know the amplitudes of time." In ACT-1, he draws you in to where this story takes place: 1912 where men lived like kings, his word was Law, and marriage was a plan to strengthen one's position to expand families & territories. In ACT-2, he states that love is for the poets, the dreamers, and the romantics, which is referring to 2 of our characters. He also states that sensible intelligent people never fall in love, but they deal with a lot of grief, which is referring to the other 2 characters. In ACT-3, he gets the fans to pause for a moment as to why & whom do we marry? Is it for attractiveness, to be rich, to please our in-laws, or for romantic love? A mystery we can only solve on our own. As I mentioned before, the last few minutes of this CBSRMT episode has been cut off. If we knew what E.G. Marshall's words were at the end of ACT-3 & the Epilogue, I would've given this 5 out of 5 stars. Oh, well. But still, it's a terrific story that I recommend, especially if you're a fan of Fred Gwynne and enjoy surprising endings. Enjoy! =0]

They have economists as Chief Scientific Advisors on everything. Stern, Garnaut, etc.
Sadly, the economists are stuck in 1996. That's when the economists decided that action should be taken to limit temperature rise to 2 deg C.
At the time, the economists thought this translates to limiting atmospheric CO2 to 550 ppm. We now know that 450 ppm CO2 is sufficient to cause 2 deg C warming.
At the time, the economists thought that 2 deg C warming was acceptable. We now know that 2 deg C average warming (ie 450 ppm CO2) is sufficient to raise sea levels by 10-40 m. Even 10 m will inundate a great deal of built infrastructure.
At the time, the economists thought that 2 deg C warming would not feed back upon itself, causing further warming. We are already observing large-scale methane release from thawing permafrost and from under thinning Arctic Ocean pack ice, which will cause a great deal more than 2 deg C warming.
At the time, the economists didn't consider the ocean acidification caused by increasing dissolution of CO2 from the atmosphere. They probably didn't even know about it.
Since 1996, it has become well-established by climate science that to maintain a planet at similar climate conditions to the 20th century, atmospheric CO2 must remain between 300 ppm and 350 ppm. Like it or not, this means that the world must cease using fossil fuel altogether ASAP. Bad luck, all you coal exporters out there.
