Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
Hi all,
I just thought I'd share a learning experience on the chance anyone else might learn too. I don't know if this has been discussed but I haven't actually seen it anywhere. Which is not the same as it not being discussed, so please forgive me if it's already all over the place.
I have been having trouble getting my pizza dough to have a nice crisp to it. I don't mean the cracker like crust, just not the completely soft thing either. I knew I was not getting my oven's floor up to a good temperature even though the dome had cleared and I had fully saturated the oven.
What I had been doing was building the fire, getting the dome clear, letting the oven saturate, then raking the fire over to the side, sweeping down the floor and loading the oven with the pizza. But, as the crust was not ever done enough either on the bottom or the corniche, I knew I wasn't getting the floor hot enough. So I tried something new last night. Once the dome had cleared but the oven was not yet fully heat saturated, I raked out small coals and ash and pushed the flaming logs to the side and added more, smaller logs which more or less combusted immediately and gave me a nice high, dome-lapping flame. I used this time with the hearth cleared away and the flames branching the dome top and over to the opposite wall, as the saturation period, maintaining a very high flame the whole time, about 45 minutes or even an hour. And I think this was what made the difference. I had been loading the pizza into the oven too soon after moving the fire from the center over to the side, not really allowing the floor itself to recover from the insulating effect from the fire's bed and to become fully saturated. Well, I knew as soon as I started cutting the first pizza. A blind person could tell. You could hear it when my wife cut the pizza. I tapped the corniche with my finger at first and I could feel the nice, bread crustiness. It was one of those defining moments, one when I know I've turned a corner and made a difference.
This is like drugs. It's not enough that I ate pizza last night. I want to do this again soon just to verify. That and my breads which I have been flailing with regarding the slashing. I think I have that down too but I need one more bake to try. Soon... soon.
This is fun, isn't it?
Happy baking all
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
Yep, those flames up the dome make all the difference. Even if your oven is overfired and too hot, the results are not nearly as good as a dome with a little ring of carbon around the bottom, and a brisk fire shooting flames up the side.
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
I always like having a nice tall flame when cooking pizza. The flame is very important in crisping the crust.
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
I'd always had the full blast flame lapping from the one side over to the other. But I had also always let the oven saturate while the fire was still in the middle, before pushing to the side, then I'd load up right away. The floor never got fully saturated. So while the tops were cooking just fine, the bottoms were not. The corniche would char but never really get that right bit of crisp. So all I did was to push the flame to the side once the dome cleared and then let the whole oven, floor included, to saturate before loading. But you're so right that that high traveling flame is key to good pizza. And the 90 seconds to two minutes to cook. Besides, who can argue with the sheer beauty of that flame? It can get mesmerizing just standing there watching.
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
Hi Kim!
You were probably suffering a bit from ash insulation as well. As is a superb insulator and can easily impede heat loading of the hearth. It is good to clear the hearth and spread hot coals (with minimal ash) to charge the floor after the dome clears. Then build the cooking fire to the side when ready to cook.
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
Hello, Jay,
Yep, that's what was happening all right. I could tell just by looking at the darker floor. It even looked cooler. I've thought about spreading some of the hot colas as you say, to charge the floor. Just haven't actually done it. Friday night's meal. That's the next fling.
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
Hi Kim!
Be sure to check the hearth temp before you put a pie in unless you have a bunch of extra dough. I routinely get my hearth well above cooking temp and have to wait for it to cool before I start baking pies. And...as you know, the longer a pie sits on a peel the more likely it is to become....immobile...so you don't want to make a pie and then realize it is too hot.
While I have an IR thermometer it is a lot simpler to just throw a teaspoon of semolina or flour on the hearth and count. Three seconds is about right for it to turn black. Longer than 4 it probably should be recharged and less than 2 and it is way hot. After you get the hearth right just brush the semolina into the fire and bake on!
Look forward to hearing how this works for you!
Good Luck!
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
Good suggestion Jay. So far I haven't had to worry about the hearth being too hot. But I'd like to get there once or twice just to be able to compare the extremes: Too hot; too cool, and find for myself the perfect median. What temp on the IR is right, by your estimation? I'm going to do the flour toss any way. I'll get back on this sometime Friday or maybe Saturday.
I'm a skydiver and when we land we will often ask one another how the skydive went. One day when I started out 22 years ago and I asked, someone said to me, "Hey, even bad sex is sex." I got the point. So, in a sense, even bad pizza is pizza. (ok, to a point. If that were completely true none of us would be on the mission to perfect pizza that we are all apparently on.) But what I mean is that I have already experienced serving less than perfect pizza to friends who have been converted by my pizza, who have begun swearing off the local pizzerias as a result. Even when I feel disappointment, it's still better than the schmuck's down the street.
Thanks, Jay. I'll let you know how it goes.
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
You will get there Kim, just keep making pizza. Build the biggest fire you can imagine and get that hearth at least 800 to 900F and go down from there. You will really see the difference at 900F. We're talking 90 sec pizza. Some people like to work at that range, not me. 750F is perfect for me and I can tell when it is there even without a thermometer. The semolina test is even better than a thermometer, after you are familiar with what the oven looks like at the various temps.
Re: Heat saturation of the oven floor makes all the difference.
Totally agree. Folk get obsessed with fancy temp measuring equip. You don't need it. I've been advocating the semolina method for years. It's also a good fancy trick to impress your guests. They actually think you know what you're talking about.

Hi all,
I've been a member for a while (premium, might I add! *ahem*) and I have just released my first iOS game this month. It's called Roll Dem Bones and you play as a skull named Demmy, who is collecting back the bones that were stolen from his Graveyard. It's free for Halloween today, so please take a look, download and enjoy! Happy Halloween bombers! (Note, this is my first game and always looking for feedback as this is mostly a learning experience. I have a bunch of stuff I'm already fixing for the next update, but I'm always happy to add to the list if it makes the game better =)
iPad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/roll-dem-bones-xl/id568422016?ls=1mt=8
iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/roll-dem-bones/id497623692?ls=1mt=8
Just in time for Halloween! You play as Demmy, a skull who is trying to collect all of the Bones that have been stolen from his Graveyard. You'll be able to play levels that require you to hit switches, go through pipes, ride curves and roll to try and collect them all! The game features 40 level at the moment but I am currently working on the next set.
At the start of every level, scroll around to see where the bones are that Demmy needs to collect. Then tap Demmy and he is ready to roll! Press and hold your finger on the screen to aim Demmy where you'd like him to launch to. Each time you press your finger on the screen, it will stop Demmy where he is (on the ground, mid-air...it doesn't matter he will stop!) and where you let go is where he will reroute to. This can be done three times. After three launches, he'll be dizzy but hopefully he'll roll to the coffin and complete the level!

The Minister of Education launches the Government's 'zero tolerance' campaign against violence and abuse of children
MAPUTO, Mozambique, 29 June 2011 – At an event at the Francisco Manyanga Secondary School in Maputo this morning, the Minister of Education, Mr. Zeferino Martins, officially launched the Government's 'zero tolerance' campaign against violence and abuse of children.The campaign is a joint effort between five line ministries (MINED, MMAS, MINT, MISAU and MinJus) and involves UNICEF and civil society organizations organized through the children's rights network (ROSC).
In his address to the audience, the Minister emphasized the Government's determination and commitment to fighting the problem and to create positive conditions for children. He thanked the people featuring in the mass media campaign on the issue: former President Joaquim Chissano, former Prime Minister Luisa Diogo, Stewart Sukuma and Mingas. In conclusion, the Minister said that children represent the country's greatest resource and that the Government would continue to invest in them.
Dr. Roberto de Bernardi, representing UNICEF, spoke of the prevalence of premature marriage and child birth, which is a form of abuse and often leads to girls leaving school early. He stated that communities need to overcome the 'culture of silence' in which the victims and their parents do not speak up and their voices are not heard, a situation that often arises because the perpetrators of abuse often are related to or close to the victim.
The 'zero tolerance' campaign involves a mass media component aimed at helping to change social norms and individual behaviors - four TV spots and a number of radio spots will be aired on the country's TV and radio channels in coming months. These spots will be all made available on UNICEF's web site, YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Dudley: 'I want to be the solution, not the problem'
The Phoenix Suns have been unable to solve the woes that have plagued them for the majority of the season.
On the heels of head coach Alvin Gentry's remarks the team could be on the verge of a �youth movement', one of the Suns' veterans said he would like to be a part of any rebuilding phase in the Valley.
"I love playing basketball. I love doing that but there are not too many spots better than Phoenix," Jared Dudley told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show on Tuesday. "I know we're not doing well. I am a guy that likes to stick through the situation through the highs and lows. When we turn it around hey �I was here through the bad, I was here through the good' and I want to be the solution not the problem."
Part of rebuilding a winning brand is bringing in younger talent and a fresh perspective. The Suns are an aging bunch and currently the 12th-oldest team in the NBA.
Dudley is realistic he could be part of trade discussions to help the team obtain pieces for the future but the Suns' swingman said he understands trade speculation is also part of the game.
"You have to get yourself a value and a brand in this NBA and I see that and with that makes more money but also could be more value for a trade and I see that," Dudley said.
Despite the team's current struggles, Dudley believes the Suns do possess a few solid players who could provide long-term value moving forward.
"We have nice pieces to build on," Dudley said. "I think that somebody like myself, I am a guy who can start on this team but yet if they brought in some big time players I could easily be a sixth man. I think I am versatile.
"You've got Marcin Gortat who is a young big man who his shot-blocking has improved. He needs to work on his post moves but he's someone who can get you a double-double. You've got someone like young [Dragic] who's now kind of turning over the face of the franchise, trying to be groomed as a point guard who's been in Phoenix and Houston who definitely needs to develop."
The Suns hold the second-worst record in the Western Conference and find themselves 8.5 games out of the final playoff spot.
Dudley thinks with a few key additions the team may not be far away from getting back on the winning track.
"You've got three good core pieces and you've got a lot of first round picks, you've got a lot of stuff to work with," Dudley stated. "We haven't put it all together this year and some of it has to do with nine new guys and different stuff but you definitely have areas where you can make this happen and I think free agency and draft the Phoenix Suns will be back hopefully at the top where they once were."

text: MIAMI - So it's not just that the Heat is better than the Knicks. According to Pacers coach Frank Vogel, the squad from South Beach is also more intelligent. Following a game in which the Pacers surrendered 60 points in the paint against Miami - failing, in the process, to duplicate the rim-protecting efficiency from the prior series against the Knicks - Vogel said it was a contrast of smartness. "They had a more intelligent attack at the basket than New York did." That won't sit well with Mike Woodson.

Findings of Peer Review of Interoperable Smartcard Programs 35 Transit agency board decisions culminating in September 2003 have affirmed Phase II, or full regional deployment of TransLink. GGT and AC Transit will be the first agencies to offer full operational availability to their patrons in mid 2006, followed by BART and Muni in late 2006. TransLink will become available on the remaining 16 operators in 2007 and 2008. 22.214.171.124 Fare Policies The following fare policies and customer features define the TransLink Program: � Card Fee--Phase I Demonstration-free. Phase II--$5 card deposit proposed; � Fare Products--Multiple transit products, including e-cash, passes, and transit ride products (electronic ticket-books), inter-operator transfers; � Fare Categories--Adult, youth, and senior/disabled; and � Other Features--Balance protection, autoload, and negative balance. 188.8.131.52 Transit Benefits Program Employees of participating employers can elect to have their transit benefits loaded directly onto their TransLink card via autoload. 126.96.36.199 Loyalty Program No loyalty programs are planned. 3.1.3 Chicago Card As part of an effort to make fare payment easier, more reliable, and flexible, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) in August 2000 conducted a 6-month smartcard-based fare payment pilot pro- gram. CTA's pilot, designed to test the feasibility of smartcard technology and to gauge customer acceptance, involved the distribution of 3,500 contactless smartcards used at designated sites and rail stations. CTA's existing fare collection system, purchased from CTS in 1997, was already con- figured for smartcards. In addition, CTA integrated the farebox, manufactured by GFI Genfare, with the bus farecard machine (BFM). The CTS BFM processes both magnetic tickets and smartcards. In September 2001, following a successful pilot, CTA awarded a contract to CTS to increase the card base to 300,000 over a 3-year period. In late 2002, CTA announced the systemwide launch of the Chicago Card, a stored-value smartcard that can be used as fare payment on CTA bus and rail vehicles and Pace buses. The devices used for their system include � Turnstile faregates, � Transit card vending machines, and � Fareboxes. Customers may add value to their Chicago Card only at TVMs at CTA rail stations and some offsite locations such as grocery stores and currency exchanges. Registration and balance pro- tection of the Chicago Card is available to customers. In January 2004, CTA launched Chicago Card Plus, an account-based smartcard program that supports stored-value and 30-day passes. An added feature and requirement of the Chicago Card Plus is the automatic reloading capability that allows customers to charge their credit card for a user-determined amount each time the account balance falls below the $10 threshold. Chicago Card Plus customers can also direct their transit benefits to their card accounts. Chicago Card Plus customers cannot add value to cards at TVMs. Orders for Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus are accepted on line, by phone, by mail, or in person at CTA headquarters. Both the Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus provide pass-back privileges, which allow up to seven customers to board the same bus or enter the same rail station using one card. A full fare or

Well, being the pedo that I am, I was recently reading up on the technicalities of child pornography laws, and it seems that nude photographs are perfectly legal. As long as the child is not taking part in "sexually explicit conduct," and the camera is not blatantly focusing on the genitals, the picture is A-OK.
links: http//ww/...
As for the definition of "sexually explicit conduct," as according to US law:
-sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
-sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
-lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person

So that's that. Time for some softcore kiddy porn!
Sick fuckers
Legendary thread and a kittaaaaaa for fourchan.
Big news amirite. I thought everyone knew this already.
Actually, I already suspected as much to a certain extent, but it became apparent that most people thought otherwise. People always seemed quick to label any sort of underaged nudity as child porn, so it got me wondering. I just thought I'd clear this up for everyone. (I'm the one who wrote >>1, just to be perfectly clear.)
I wanna see little kids naked now! Any suggestions?
Sally Mann? Just search for 'nude child model' or something like that.
Here's a start: http://freedom-bbs.ce.ro/
Have fun :D

Ah, well, the Reds have got next to nothing going on at the Winter Meetings this year. I figured we could help them out by insisting on our own well hatched ideas.
When the Reds miss the playoffs next year, they'll have only themselves to blame if they don't visit this thread.
In the vein of prying loose a SS let's try:
Harang + 6 million + Cozart + Janish + Francisco + Ondrusek
Elvis Andrus 21 y/o SS
Don't know if I like that one, just trying to land Andrus, who appears to be Janish and Cozart's ceilings mashed together. Take the 6 mil savings and pickup a FA SP and Jamie Carrol.
More dirt later. Time to watch XU.

Zephyrs fall to Sky Sox, 2-1
Published: Monday, April 7, 2014 at 9:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 7, 2014 at 9:40 a.m.
Elih Villanueva pitched five strong innings, but a fourth-inning throwing error allowed Colorado Springs to score an unearned run that proved to be the difference as the Sky Sox claimed their third straight win over the New Orleans Zephyrs, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon.
Colorado Springs won the final three games by a combined score of 18-5.
Colorado Springs took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning on a solo home run by Jackson Williams, but the Zephyrs quickly answered in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game.
Justin Bour doubled into the right-center field gap to drive in his fourth run of the season, scoring Rob Brantly. Bour had two hits and has hit safely in each of the first four games of the year.
Colorado Springs responded with a run in their next at-bat when Matt McBride crossed home plate after Zephyrs second baseman Taylor Harbin made a diving stop on a ground ball by Kyle Parker, but threw over the head of Bour at first base.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests My project aims at studying the metabolism of single tumor cells as an additional hallmark of cancer. Otto Warburg discovered in 1920s that while normal cells oxidize sugar (oxidative phosphorylation) cancer cells ferment sugar (glycolysis). We are currently developing a new imaging tool called the radioluminescence microscope, which can quantitatively measure the uptake of FDG, a sugar analog into single live cells. By studying the uptake of FDG and various cellular parameters, we hope to better understand the impact of genetic and non-genetic heterogeneities on the disease progression.

David Carradine Found Dead Under Unusual Circumstances
Breaking news out of Bangkok, Thailand. Actor David Carradine (1936-2009) was found dead earlier today in his Park Nai Lert hotel room. Carradine was reportedly found hanged by the neck, naked, in his closet.
The body was discovered when Carradine was late to a meal with film crew during a recent shooting of Stretch.
According to police officials, there was no sign of struggle and the case will likely be reported as a suicide.
Carradine, 72, was most famous for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the television series "Kung Fu". The actor also had an illustrious movie career, recently experiencing a reimergence in popularity due to his work in Kill Bill Volume I and II. Carradine also experienced success in the realms of broadway and voiceover acting.
According to the website TMZ.com, Carradine had expressed some suicidal tendencies in the past. Quote:
"In a 2004 interview dug up by the Telegraph Newspaper, the 72-year-old actor revealed that he once considered shooting himself, saying: 'Look, there was a period in my life when I had a single action Colt 45, loaded, in my desk drawer.
And every night I'd take it out and think about blowing my head off, and then decide not to and go on with my life. Put it back in the drawer and open up the laptop and continue writing my autobiography or whatever. But it was just to see.'" – TMZ
The world's of acting and martial arts have suffered a significant loss today.

Taliban vs IRA
This week's DW post is going to be a little different. Normally I do some research on Sunday and get my post out by Monday night or Tuesday morning. This leaves plenty of time for people to vote on who they think would win before the show airs on Tuesday night. This week the executive powers that be decided to run the last episode of the season on Sunday night. That being the case, I watched the episode on Monday and will do some post analysis here. Voting will still be open though as what I'm really interested in is people's opinions.
This is the kind of matchup where you have to consciously put aside your personal feelings for the two groups. As Americans, it is really easy to vote against the Taliban just because of the current wartime climate. As a Brit it's just as easy to vote against the IRA. So, the obvious issues aside, let's look at the groups and weapons.
Who are the IRA?
I'm going to let wikipedia do some talking for me because whoever wrote the wiki entries knows a lot more about this than I do:
"The Irish Republican Army (IRA) was an Irish republican revolutionary military organisation descended from the Irish Volunteers, established 25 November 1913 and who in April 1916 staged the Easter Rising.[2] The Irish Volunteers were recognised in 1919 by Dáil Éireann (its elected assembly) as the legitimate army of the unilaterally declared Irish Republic, the Irish state proclaimed at Easter in 1916 and reaffirmed by the Dáil in January 1919. Thereafter, the IRA waged a guerrilla campaign against British rule in Ireland in the Irish War of Independence from 1919–1921." – Wikipedia
The IRA was known for extreme urban guerrilla warfare. They used simple yet effective technology to do damage on a large scale. Their cells, usually 4-5 people in size, would strike quickly and unpredictably but with a large amount of planning and tactical know-how.
Who are the Taliban?
"The Taliban, also Taleban, is a pro-Wahhabi Sunni Islamist, predominately Pashtun fundamentalist religious and political movement that governed Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001, when its leaders were removed from power by Northern Alliance and NATO forces. It has regrouped and since 2004 revived as a strong insurgency movement fighting a guerrilla war against the current government of Afghanistan, Pakistan, allied NATO forces participating in Operation Enduring Freedom, and the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).[6] It operates in Afghanistan and the Frontier Tribal Areas of Pakistan." – Wikipedia
The Taliban cells utilize fear as their greatest weapon, causing disorganization and panic in both their enemies and the local civilians. They use rugged yet powerful technology that properly fits the terrain of Afghanistan.
What are the Weapons?
The IRA utilized the LPO-50 flamethrower, the nail bomb, the slingshot, and the AR-15 Armalite.
The Taliban relied on the RPG-7 rocket launcher, PMN land mine, the bayonet knife, and the AK-47.
Both the flamethrower and the rocket launcher performed really well. Apparently the flamethrower heats up the inside of your bones to the point where it continues to burn you even after the flames have gone away. The rocket launcher was clearly devastating, as I think everyone could have predicted.
The interesting matchup was between the AR-15 Armalite and the AK-47. The Armalite was clearly more accurate, but when put through mud and water conditions, the AK-47 held up much better. This was a case of great value between both guns, and intelligent selection by both warriors.
The Armalite's accuracy would be extremely useful in an urban setting where mud, water, and grime is less of a factor. The AK-47's durability is definitely valuable in the caves and desserts of Afghanistan.
A Result and a Vote:
In case you didn't see who won, I'm going to give you a chance to vote first. Who do you think was deadliest? (careful not to scroll down to far)
* * * * * * * * *
In the end, the IRA took the victory. The accuracy of the Armalite and the deadliness of the nail bomb really helped their stats. The results were close though as the AK-47 and the rocket launcher did their fair share of damage.

Aviva Premiership preview: Worcester Warriors v Wasps
Last Updated: 21/03/14 10:14pm
The Aviva Premiership returns on Friday following Six Nations action and lowly Worcester Warriors go in search of their first league success when Wasps visit Sixways Stadium.
Dean Ryan's men have endured a league season to forget with 16 straight defeats while mid-table Wasps have 30 more points than their rivals.
Worcester can take heart from the fact they won this fixture 29-23 last season and they need to start winning sooner rather than later if they are to stand a chance of staying up.
Scotland prop Euan Murray returns from Six Nations duty to pack down against Wasps.
Wing Josh Drauniniu is back instead of an injured Dean Hammond, while the rest of the team is unchanged following a one-point defeat against Harlequins in Warriors' last league game.
"We know we stare at relegation if we can't win at Newcastle and winning against Wasps is the key to being successful at Kingston Park," Ryan told Worcester's official website.
Relegation threat
"Relegation has sat heavy over the club since losing to London Irish and Newcastle at home early in the season. The stakes are that high. Ryan Lamb coming in has given a bit of direction and a bit of freshness to the squad."
England lock Joe Launchbury is straight back into Premiership action with Wasps following the Six Nations.
Prop Matt Mullan, who was on bench duty for England in Rome last weekend, also starts, and Italy back Andrea Masi features in midfield.
Wasps captain Chris Bell said: "Worcester are not a bad side and they have been playing very well recently so we know that we will be up against a good side, as we are every week in the Aviva Premiership.
"If we don't turn up and play as well as we can do we will be in for a very tough night at Sixways."
Worcester: 15 Chris Pennell, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Alex Grove, 12 Ravai Fatiaki, 11 David Lemi, 10 Ryan Lamb, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Jonathan Thomas (c), 7 Sam Betty, 6 Mike Williams, 5 Mariano Galarza, 4 James Percival, 3 Euan Murray, 2 Agustin Creevy, 1 Ofa Fainga'anuku.
Replacements: 16 Ed Shervington, 17 Paul Andrew, 18 Rob O'Donnell, 19 Semisi Taulava, 20 Richard de Carpentier, 21 Paul Hodgson, 22 Ignacio Mieres, 23 Andy Symons.
London Wasps: 15 Elliot Daly, 14 James Short, 13 Andrea Masi, 12 Chris Bell, 11 Josh Bassett, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Joe Simpson, 8 Sam Jones, 7 James Haskell, 6 Ashley Johnson, 5 Kearnan Myall, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Jake Cooper-Woolley, 2 Tom Lindsay, 1 Matt Mullan.
Replacements: 16 Carlo Festuccia, 17 Ricky Reeves, 18 Simon McIntyre, 19 Tom Palmer, 20 Nathan Hughes, 21 Charlie Davies, 22 Joe Carlisle, 23 Charlie Hayter.
Aviva Premiership 2013/14 Round 17
Goneva could stay a Tiger
Leicester boss Richard Cockerill remains hopeful of holding on to winger Vereniki Goneva despite interest from France.
Tigers too strong for Exeter
Leicester consolidated fourth place in the Aviva Premiership with a 45-15 thumping of Exeter at Welford Road on Sunday.
Special praise for Ford
Neal Hatley was full of praise for fly-half George Ford after Bath's 44-23 away victory over London Irish.

Hello friends. I'm very excited to announce that I've been cast in the national touring one-man show "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus Live!" I'll be touring across the country performing this very fun, funny show and I hope you'll come out to see it. For info and ticket information please check out the website and the Facebook page. Some of the tour dates are starring me and some are starring the wonderful Peter Story, so check the info first if you're hoping to see me. Here's a description:
Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus-LIVE! is a hilarious fusion between theatre and stand-up, based on the number one best selling book from acclaimed author John Gray.
This live comedy show is more than just the book. The actor in the show relates to the audience as someone, who resisted the Mars/Venus work for years, but then he meets John Gray – now his experience leads him to share with others how he sees the relationships of men and women from a very humorous perspective.
This hysterical 90-minute show will have couples elbowing each other all evening as they see themselves on stage. Presented via different vignettes, topics will cover everything from dating to marriage to the bedroom!
My podcast, THIS PART'S THE BEST!, now has an official Twitter account. Follow it @TPTBPodcast. Also, while I have your attention, the show is now on Stitcher.
Hello to the deluge of managers and agents flooding onto my new website. I now have a new head shot, taken by the fabulous Ari Scott. I should probably tag this post as NSFW because I know that as a casting agent, photos of me are basically porn for you. Well loosen those linen pants and set your eyes upon the new head shot here.
Listen to me talk about an amusement park in Iraq and do an Alex Jones impersonation on the June 18th, 2014 episode of Citizen Radio.
This is the website for the comedian and writer John Frusciante, not the other guy who plays music.

Thanks for the wonderful update and comments! Slow week- Tempo of last few weeks not there.
T was a class act!! T - Pristine and pure to the core with a heart to forgive the humiliation, abuse that SQ heaped and has risen to the occasion – has thrown SQ a lifeline once more by performing the" Hail Mary act" of convincing GP clan to overlook SQ's scum behavior for the sake of their soon to be born grandson's well-being.
Thulz mature beyond her years, like a master negotiator who has experienced many a crisis got into the act, assuaged GP and his wife's hurt feelings [ due to SQ's gutter act] by pacifying them through her well intentioned reasoning and relentless lobbying for the greater good of their family.
But Why Thulz why? There is no benefit in the rewards to bad people. Showing mercy and compassion for underserving people without justice is immoral hypocrisy that always come back haunt. The "noble code of conduct" is not applicable to GW, SQ and her ilk as their natural instincts are predatory. Rewarding scums like GW with kindness encourages and embolden them to say and do things with renewed vigor – like GW being delusional in claiming god has rewarded SQ with goodness will taking pleasure in rubbing salt and spewing venom @ Thulz.
For a change, Thulz had the "last laugh" while GW burnt deep
Few Factoid from today: 1) GP is going to play pivotal role in psycho issue. 2) GW talks about the need to have good thoughts and deeds to attain motherhood. Surely SQ is not...does it mean she will have issues?

Going Walkabout on an 800xc through Russia & Central Asia...and maybe beyond...

With our London days rapidly counting down we thought we'd better tick off a couple of things we haven't done yet.
The man
That's a shit load of bombs. During the bombings Churchill would stand on the roof of the building
Incredibly during the war the bunker wasn't directly hit. A good thing, because despite all the fortifications and reinforcements they added to the building to make it bomb proof it was never fully completed. It's said that a direct hit could have caused the building above to collapse into the bunker.
The War Cabinet
The halls
Churchill loved his maps. Add a motorbike and some tools and this room would be an ADV'ers wet dream
Going to miss London...
We wandered over to the ACE Cafe to see what all the fuss was about. Loads of people said I should go for a visit but I thought it was just be a bunch of old guys sitting around drinking tea talking about their goldwings....boy was I wrong!!!
This place is like a circus with all types of bike enthusiast, from the aforementioned goldwing riders (not that there is anything wrong with that) to the adventure crew.
"We need an intercomm"
One of the Mondo Enduro bikes
Mondo Enduro - Austin Vince's bike. After Patty saw the tank bags she's now wondering why we don't have any - "if he's riding the world on his own and needs that, why don't we have that and we're two people?". "Because more bags means you'll bring your whole makeup kit babe"
We've been in touch with the Russian visa centre and they're pretty confident we'll have the visa before we leave....

Upon collecting the Eevee from Bill, I have decided to evolve it into Jolteon for two reasons: first because I have never trained a joltoen and have barely ever even owned one and second because it would be my only electric type at the moment other than my flaaffy.
So I came here to check the HHSS location of the thunderstone and notice it says:
"National Park (come in 1st in the bug catching contest)".
This is incorrect, the sun stone is the first place prize in the bug catching contest, as it was back in the originals. I couldn't possibly be mistaking the 3 sun stones in my bag at the moment each of which I was given upon winning the bug catching contest.
Just thought I'd point this out.

AKF Shop FixAug 28, 2014 Patch 3 comments
Hello i noticed that many had problem with shop in this mod me too, so im uploading mine fix. I tested it on listen server and everything works. But i...
Almost two years in the making, the WPC together with Marco bring you the most comprehensive overhaul of killing floor to date. When Braindead and Hemi created the M41A Pulse Rifle for killing floor, there was only one logical next step. Lets make everything Aliens. Together with Whisky a plan was set into motion that would take the entire killing floor experience to new levels of terror. After persuading Marco to recreate the speed and ferocity of the Alien, including new game play functionalities as facehuggers and endboss-fights with the queen, the team started working on finalising the mod were no one can hear you scream. After multiple setbacks, the end is finally in sight. The Aliens themselves looked better and better, by overhauling meshes and textures along the way. Weapons became more balanced and got shiny new textures. And to really immerse players into the universe of Aliens, created by James Cameron, they can now even play/sound like the iconic characters of the movie.
The AKF Aliens Killing Floor mod is finally here. And we hope server admins around the world give KF-players a chance to experience new terror.

Due to some poor file management we've had to release a quick hot fix to address some version mismatches people were experiencing.
Hotfix can be found at ModDB or the official website.
Also Steam workshop is being somewhat uncooperative in addressing this issue. So it looks like we are going to have to overhaul that as well. This will probably happen around the next update.
If for what ever reason something does not work, please take the time to help us out. If your game crashes or does not work for some apparent reason then the log can tell us what is wrong.
To retrieve your log once the game stops or crashes. Navigate to your killing floor system folder. Often: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system and look for a killingfloor.log file.
Either email this file to firstname.lastname@example.com or copy and paste it's contents to pastebin.com and send me the link.
Sorry to have caused you folks any problems. I will submit myself to a flogging once I've fixed the problem.

A quick hotfix to address some file discrepancies. Please let me know if there are any additional problems. We will probably be rebuilding the Steam Workshop...
AKF is one of the most comprehensive mods to date released for Killing Floor. The aim of this mod was to bring the feel and scope of James Cameron's Aliens...
I installed this and the hotfix, and there's a Killing Floor: Aliens gametype that shows up. However, the only thing it changes is how there are Aliens now instead of specimens. No new weapons and the trader is the same...
Edit: I fixed it by activating the "global server aliens" mutator (or something like that)
I used Workshop download and I only have Killing Floor game mode to choose from. What should I do?
Edit: Hotfix! :P
how long is the mod..is it more then 1 hour?
its a multiplayer mod it goes for as long as you want to play
Have to emphasize how fun this mod it. I recently bought Colonial marines (unfortunately), and lets just say this mod with it's bugs and small selection of maps creates a better atmosphere when facing Aliens than the abortion Gearbox created.
Although Aliens Colonial Marines does have a better selection of weapons, & pretty good sound design but I guess that isn't enough to make a good game. Aliens KF is going to be getting more weapons and maps in the next version so you guys will be pleased!
looks great, Gonna try it out this afternoon ^^
Tried it. And I have to say, you will never forget the first time a facehugger attacks you. Really fun mod.
I downloaded this for Mac and tried to install but I cant figure out which folders this mod goes into. I'm horrible at installing, if the developer could help me with this, That'd be amazing! :D
You install it to your killing floor folder. So on a mac "user/*your user name*/library/application support/steam/steamapps/common/killing floor/" extract the folders to this location, (Animations, Textures, System etc) Don't forget serverperks. Launch the game, goto solo, select the new gametype from the list and turn on the mutators, select a map and boom. You should be playing.
Highest Rated (2 agree) 9/10
Great mod with alot of potential! Play it :D

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Lightly spray four 6-ounce (2/3-cup) soufflé molds or ramekins with vegetable-oil cooking spray.
In a small bowl stir together prunes, hot tea, lemon juice, and zest and let stand, covered, 15 minutes. Remove 3 prunes from mixture and coarsely chop. In a food processor purée remaining prune mixture (including soaking liquid) until very smooth. Cool purée and stir in chopped prunes. Purée may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring purée to room temperature before proceeding.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with a pinch salt until foamy. Beat in cream of tartar and beat whites until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually beat in granulated sugar and beat meringue until it just holds stiff peaks. Whisk about one fourth meringue into purée to lighten and fold in remaining meringue gently but thoroughly. Spoon mixture into molds or ramekins and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake soufflés in middle of oven until puffed and golden brown, about 16 minutes.
Dust soufflés with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately. At table, with 2 forks pull open top of each soufflé and spoon 1 tablespoon frozen yogurt into each opening.

Historical Traveler Reviews Amway Grand Plaza Hotel Grand Rapids
Beautiful Hotel!!
This hotel is so beautiful! The chandeleirs in the lobby are gorgeous, lots of photo ops, perfect location for a wedding. I took the advice from another review on tripadvisor.com and ordered the strawberry daq from the lobby bar and it was, indeed, delicious. My husband and son enjoyed playing basketball, we all swam in the pool and relaxed in the jacuzzi (they have one for adults and one for families!!) The service was excellent, the food at their restaurants were excellent. Our room was pretty. When we first arrived our lightbulb was out in the bathroom, but that was quickly fixed. We later found out that the drain in the tub had a clog and the water wouldn't drain, but the manager quickly switched our room. It could happen anywhere, now we know to check that everything is in working order right away!! This things can happen anywhere, but we were treated well. We enjoyed our visit to Craig's Cruisers, not far from the hotel: mini golf, go karts, arcade, bumper boats. The hotel has a family package that includes activities here: my children have not stopped talking about how great it was! I would recommend this hotel!
Luxury at its finest!
This hotel is great! Simply great. It is elegant, classy, and timeless. The staff is wonderful. All have great personalities and don't have that general attitude most upscale front desk agents have. It's also in a great location! I encourage you to stay here, and see for yourself.. and while you're at it, enjoy one of their delicious strawberry daiquiris at the bar in the lobby! Who knows, maybe you'll see a famous person walking through the hotel and enjoying the classic decor as I did!
A Definite Touch of Class !
A few business trips to Grand Rapids brought me to the Amway over the past year. I consider this hotel to be one of the best I have ever stayed in.
The staff is first-rate and the main floor offers a few eating options, from a sports theme bar/restaurant (try their steak) to fancy eating out. There are a few stores as wells which came in handy when I realized I had forgotten to pack a couple of things, as usually happens....
The pool and fitness center located on the 4th. floor of the new section is absolutely wonderful. The $5 fee, I am told, upsets some folks but I was ok with it when you consider what you are getting. Do not end a busy day without visiting this wonderful fitness center, you will quickly forget the $5.
Five stars to the Amway !!
Great Views, Beautiful Public Spaces
I stayed at the Amway Grand Plaza on July 28th for 3 nights, and was very impressed with the Hotel. The entire staff was very friendly and professional from making the reservation to checking out. Everyone from the valets, to the concierge, to the front desk staff were quite attentive to the needs of everyone in our party. Even though the Hotel was quite busy preparing for a visit from the President of United States during our stay, the service never suffered.
I like a nice view so I chose a room in the "new" tower and requested a high floor room. They gave me a corner room on the 19th floor with fantastic views of the river. Some of the other people in our party requested rooms in the historic section, and while the views weren't quite as spectacular, the rooms in the historic section were definitely more spacious, and the decor was less "generic" than the rooms in the new section. The Amway Grand definitely stands out as a world class hotel in a small city. It could easily compete with 4 star hotels in much larger cities.
Very Classy!
The Amway hotel is the ONLY hotel to stay at in Grand Rapids. It is absolutely beautiful with it's gold plated ceilings, velvet curtains and stunning flower arrangements. If you enjoy atmosphere, you'll get more than your share here! The main thing I love about the Amway is it's attention to detail, (at least looks wise) in the hotel. Cygnus, at the top of the hotel, is a restaurant with a great mood and amazing view. The 1913 Room is the best food I've had in my life! The staff, especially at the front desk, could use more training, they are always messing things up...so double check your bill. But other than that one setback, and the fact they chanrge like $2 to use the pool... it is the only hotel to stay at. One you will always remember! Also, one added bonus is the flower shop in the hotel, that can have flowers and chocolates delivered to your room before you get there. Perfect for that romantic evening! I would reccomend this hotel to anyone coming in town and even though I live in Grand Rapids, I take plenty of my guests there and even had all my out of town guests stay there for my wedding! It is as close to perfect as you are going to get!
Theft Central
I've stayed in some of the nicest and expensive hotel both domestically and abroad. Unfortunately, even in this self-described Christian community, thieves lurk the halls at the Amway Grand. Of my two recent visits, both were highlighted by thefts of personal items from my room. Regrettably, a leter to the General Manager, Mr. Joe Tomaselli, was not worthy of a response. I won't be back and suggest you visit one of the other fine hotels in the Grand Rapids area. Note: be wary of the Marriott Courtyard right down the street. Mr. Tomaselli manages that hotel as well.
360 Degree Virtual Tour of the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel
I have stayed at the Amway Grand Plaza on several business trips and totally enjoyed the stay. It is definitely the nicest hotels I have had the opportunity to stay in. On my last visit I shot a virtual tour of the building for our website. I would give them the highest possible rating! Since photos say more than words you can see the photos at ---------------------------------
Nicest Hotel around! Its gorgeous. I dont know why it isnt rated a 5 star hotel!
Fantastic Food ,Fantastic Service
A routine Business Trip became an incredible wonderful experience in some of the most fantastic Food and Service .If the Hotel would have a Beach or Golfcourse I would take my next vacation at this truly outstanding Hotel
Oasis on the River
Having visited family around Grand Rapids for many years, I drove past the Amway Grand 100 times without even knowing that it was a hotel. The tower part of the hotel, a simple 80's looking glass sky scraper with an angled top, is the tallest building in the city's small sky line. I always assumed the building to be nothing more than office space. But last year, I needed a place a stay while attending a wedding, and I thought I'd give the Grand a try.The Grand is a pretty large hotel, originally built in the 1900's. But it has been updated (hence the glass tower) over the years and still lives up to the standards that it was originally known for. Upon check-in, we realized that we were booked for a smoking room (my mistake). We went to the room and within 5 minutes, my eyes were watering and my throat was burning...I had never experienced the effects of "left-over" smoke like this (and I used to be a smoker!). I might as well have been sitting in a room full of people puffing away in my face. Also, we could see that house keeping had hastily cleaned the room; we found pieces of food on the floor and wrappers/papers left behind in the drawers.Not entirely happy with our accommodations, we went downstairs for dinner and stopped by the front desk on our way. We asked if they could possibly get us into a cleaner, non-smoking room. But the hotel was full because of several weddings/conventions, so our chances looked bleak. After a minute of searching, the very nice lady at the desk upgraded us to a Tower Club room (private floor), where they still had non-smoking rooms available.The new room was great. Moderately sized, with a wonderful view of the adjacent river. Everything was clean, and the room was well stocked with towels, toiletries, etc...The view from the room was wonderful. From as high up as we were, a glance down made the hotel look as though it were springing up from the nearby river. We had access to the club room on our floor, where we could enjoy complimentary breakfast pastries, snacks, soft drinks/juices, etc...Or we could just enjoy the nice view and play a game of chess. The club room was well maintained; throughout the day, it was replenished with fresh-baked snacks, and in the evening, they offered hors d'oeuvres and discounted cocktails.The hotel had a well-stocked gift shop with everything the forgetful traveler could need. I recall seeing some clothing boutiques and other shops on the main level too.The restaurant we visited in the hotel was quite good. The 1913 Room (alleged to be the state's "first and only AAA 5-diamond restaurant") had a nice, old-world charm. The steaks were good cuts of aged beef...definitely above average. The service was polite and efficient, and the bill wasn't unreasonable (dinner, drinks, and dessert for two was probably around $100).In the lounge at top of the hotel, we enjoyed a reasonably priced bottle of champagne while people watching those who were out for an evening on the town. Since we were there late, the crowd (less than a dozen people) was tame and quiet. Once again, great views of the city abounded from our comfy lounge chairs.From the hotel, we walked into Grand Rapids' quaint city life. Several bars and nightclubs were within walking distance, and the neighborhood's friendly, small-town feel gave us no reservations about venturing out onto the night streets.All together, our stay at the Amway Grand was quite memorable. I was surprised to find such a well-kept, well-appointed hotel in the building that I had seen from the freeway for so many years. Everything was top-notch and I would recommend it to anybody who finds themselves traveling in the Grand Rapids area.

Beautiful Michigan Day. Spoiled by Golf
Eight of us met at Macatawa Legends for Senior Day. Great deal - golf and lunch for $35. Such a beautiful day. Golf not so beautiful. Still had fun. Something about Boots? Back to Schmidts to pick up our stuff, then to Grand Rapids. Doing a Park 'n Fly while we are gone. Good place, will park car here while we are gone. Up early tomorrow. 7:30 flight to Anchorage.
A bit of a rocky start...
After arriving at the airport, checking in, going through security, and waiting to board, my flight was cancelled, altering my entire itinerary. I am now leaving tomorrow afternoon. Luckily for me Laura saved me and I am now in a comfy bed typing this instead of scathing about the worst airport experience ever. :) Hopefully round two will be ...
Here I go!
I am sitting at the Grand Rapids airport, waiting for my flight to board. After saying all of my goodbyes I feel many things, but overall I am glad I made the choice to research abroad. It's hard to make changes in life, but sometimes a change is necessary in order to get to where you're going.
Excited to get to Cape Town, although I have a lot of travel time ahead of me!
First day
... then were given a envelope of the first clue. We spend most of the car ride planning, we made three back up plans but eventually realized they were not necessary at all. We each got a CTA three day pass the. After all the busing taxiing and walking we finished second in the race. We end the race at the Chicago Sheraton /awesome hotel. Tonight we had deep dish pizza for dinner and I m going to ...
...and when it's all said and done.
... So, we will see what the future holds for that.
This service learning opportunity has forever changed me. I thank GOD for the opportunity and Dr. Brew for choosing me. There is no way you can go to another continent and connect with amazing people and not be moved. I also built friendships that will last a lifetime. Especially with my fellow MPHers. I hope I don't forget this feeling. I ...

With veteran goalies Evgeni Nabokov and Al Montoya sidelined with injuries at the present time, and Rick DiPietro coming off a bad performance against the Boston Bruins that saw him allow three goals in the first period on Saturday, Islanders head coach has decided to start rookie Anders Nilsson between the pipes when his team takes on Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins Monday night.
That's a tall task for the 21-year-old rookie in what will surely be a crazed atmosphere in Pittsburgh.
Nilsson has appeared in just one NHL game, and that was on Saturday in relief of DiPietro. He allowed three goals on 17 shots.
He was called up from the Islanders AHL team in Bridgeport over the weekend following the injuries to Nabokov and Montoya. In seven games in the minor leagues this season he posted a 5-2 record to go with a .908 save percentage. Nilsson was a third-round pick by the Islanders back in 2009, and prior to this season had spent the past four year playing professionally in Sweden for Lulea HF.
In 33 career games against the Islanders Crosby has recorded 62 points (18 goals, 44 assists). The only other team that he's recorded that many points against is the Philadelphia Flyers (62) in three more games.

hehe i kinda like this board. i´m checking it for some weeks now and i feel that compared to the 498373475 other boards out there u got a nice balance between quality and quantity here.
ok now about me :evilbat:
i´m really interested in art and design since i´m somewhat in control of my brain.
now the big problem is that my head is bursting of images that i´m not able to recreate on paper, that is really discouraging, but i didn´t completely give up (tho i lost a shitload of years due to zero motivation)
well i´m studying design and lately (like 2 weeks before they closed the door for summer vacation lol) i started to attend a private art academy aswell.
concept art and illustratios are what i dream of beeing able to pull oneday - and i thought maybe participating at this place will be additional motivation, input and kicks
during the last 12 moth i was doin a lot or cg work examples but i came to the point of realizing that 'instant-art' is fun but not 100% what i want.
now here´s a couple of things i drew:
(mostly done with drawings as reference xept for that still)
well i must say that i hate posting these in the public but how can i recieve help when none ever has seen where i am ?!
well i hope u´ll see better things from me soon and to get some feedback

hey dan, welcome aboard, you replied in mines, least i can do is the same for you.
this board just keeps on getting some great talent.
i will say you capture form really well, and you have some beautiful crosshatching, something i haven't quite harnessed yet. maybe you can give me a pointer
i need to post more of my work on here to give everyone an idea and get some feedback, but need a scanner, lol
anyway, keep up the sketches and work. you have a good eye on detail, just keep pushing man

bytemap: hehe thx!
well to shade things all ican say is start with a group of lines following the form and then to increase the darkness at some areas make them cross the first lol. there are a lot of approaches u can make them in a 90 degree angle or since every form exists in a 3hree dimensional context there are other possibilities to make them foollow the same form...
but since i´m no master other ppl here could surely help u more...
mannela: ah shit i´d bet my soul that i know you from somewhere else
limk: thx for the comment but unfortunately the reference is gone

How We Saw Traces of Christians
After we clearly saw traces of Christians and realized that we were so near them, we gave great thanks to God our Lord for willing that we should be brought out of our sad and wretched captivity. Anyone considering the length of time we spent in that land and the dangers and afflictions we suffered can imagine the delight we felt. That night I asked one of my companions to go after the Christians, who were going to the area of the country where we had assured the people of protection, which was a three-day journey. They reacted negatively to this idea, excusing themselves because it would be difficult and they were tired, although any one of them could have done it more easily because they were younger and stronger. When I saw their unwillingness, the following morning I took the black man and eleven Indians and, following the trail of the Christians, went by three places where they had slept. That day I traveled ten leagues. 1 The following morning I caught up with four Christians on horseback who were quite perturbed to see me so strangely dressed and in the company of Indians. They looked at me for a long time, so astonished that they were not able to speak or ask me questions. I told them to take me to their captain. So we went to a place half a league from there, 2 where Diego de Alcaraz, 3 their captain, was. After I spoke to him, he told me that he had quite a problem because he had not been able to capture Indians for many days. He did not know where to turn, because he and his men were beginning to suffer want and hunger. I told him that I had left Dorantes and Castillo behind, ten leagues from there, with many people who had brought us there. Then he sent three horsemen and fifty of the Indians they were bringing along, and the black man returned with them to guide them. I remained there and asked them to witness the month, day and year that I had arrived there, 4 and the manner in which I arrived, and they did so. There are thirty leagues 5 from this river 6 to the Christian town called San Miguel, 7 under the jurisdiction of the province called New Galicia. 8
