Hi everyone, my first post on here apart from my first blog entry.
I'm getting into baking bread in a big way. My family says the smell of fresh bread really makes a house a home and for me its so rewarding. I was facinated by the sour dough pizza recipe and I'm going to give it a try in a few weeks time when I have a bit of normal sour dough bread baking under my belt. I would love to build a pizza oven in my garden, the idea of having friends and family sat out in the garden during the summer, each having a pizza in the oven has got its hooks into me, since we love our BBQ's so much.
I wondered if anyone has built a pizza oven and has any advice?
I have the rough dimensions and I am told standard bricks and cement will suffice. I am thinking about having a granite slab as the area for the pizzas to cook on.
We have a few fruit trees in our garden and my father-in-law, who smokes meats on his allotment with pear and apple wood, has got me thinking it might influence the pizza base flavour, all very exciting.
Any input really welcome!

Hi Matty
one piece of advice do not use standard house bricks for the base of the oven, over time these bricks become brittle and may chip and end up in your pizza base then someone bites into a bit of brick and breaks a tooth! So use refractory fire bricks and refractory concrete that are made to withstand prolonged heat, over the long term your oven will: (a) last longer (b) work more efficiently. I have both a Allan Scott oven which Allan built for me and a mudbrick oven that we built long before we knew what we were doing, the mudbrick oven had house bricks on the base which we covered with a layer of cement fondue (refractory concrete) and then refractory tiles, it was a very difficult job retro fitting the base, so do it right the first time, you mention using a granite slab for your base, not sure how this would work but someone else might have some experience with this material. Best of luck and do lots of research a simple google "pizza oven construction" will give you a start.
Cheers Lyn
There is a Brick Oven newsgroup on Yahoo! that gathers people with many years of experience building and using wood-fired ovens.
You can get free oven plans from Forno Bravo: www.fornobravo.com/
You can find lots of information about wood-fired ovens at my Quest for Ovens web pages: spbc.info/quest/index.html
If all you want is to bake a few pizzas, building a mortared oven is overkill (in my opinion).
I find that temporary brick ovens are a much faster and cheaper was: spbc.info/quest/brickovens_links.html#temporarybrickovens
Hi MattyW
There is a UK-based forum that addresses such things and there is a UK-based manufacturer of ready-made ovens. We have their largest oven and it has been good so far (we have used it 3 or 4 times so far, but only because we didn't take delivery until the end of February 2012).
My first pizza baking
One of my first pizzas (with a sourdough base using Caputo Pizzeria flour)
Don't we have a rule around here that you can't pictures like that? Now I'm going to have to buy me a pizza oven.
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliot
Hi. I made my own wood-fired oven. I found the general design guidelines on the web, but the design was my own and I used cob (clay/sand mix)
I used fence posts for the legs, then got a good wooden pallet for the base. These are generally 40"x 48" (1.0m x 1.2m). They are designed to take about 600Kgs, so I added a little reinforcement. I bought 12 air bicks for the base, these are very light and give good insulation. On top of the airbricks I placed about 60 house bricks, bottom side up. In order to keep everything in place and to stop the bricks from 'wandering' with time, I put a layer of about 1" of cob mixed with straw. The straw is important as it holds everything in place. This gave me a flat platform at about waist height that was slightly larger than the pallet.
I decided I wanted an opening about 20 inches wide in order to accomodate a good size pizza. This meant I made a wooden former out of old floorboards and hardboard. The idea was to make a hemisperical arch about 20 inches in diameter and about 12-14 inches deep. This was used to support the brick opening. I used 12 housebricks to form the arch, and each one had a wedge shaped layer of cob as mortar. You build it up from the base and put the top two in last.
Next I made a mould for the dome. This was made of two layers of corrugated cardboard. It has to be strong to support the thickness of cob. (You can use a sand mold, which you dig out when you have finished, but that would mean youhad a large amount of sand left over). Generally the advice is that the opening should be apprx 70% of the height of the internal dimensions of the oven. This meant the internal diameter of the oven should be about 28". My cardboard mold was made in three parts, a vertical bit round the edge about 8-10 inches high, a middle section that sloped at 45 degrees, again about 8-10", and a top which was about 15-16" diameter. You need a LOT of internal reinforcing of the this cardboard mold. I also supported the top internally with a bit of wood. When the mold is complete, you place it on the base next to the brick arch. You should have a space about 8 " at each side of the mold.
Then you need to mix up a lot of cob. You can find the details on the web. You mix garden clay (NO organic material) with builders sand something like 3 parts sand to 1 part clay, depending on the sand content of the clay. I used about 11 bags of sand. First put a layer of wet newspaper over the cardboard mold, then put a layer of 1-2" of cob over the mold. This layer should not have straw in it or the fire will burn it and loosen it. Then you mix in some straw with the rest of the cob (to give it tensile strength- see web for details). You build up a layer of about 6" thick around the base. I stopped when I got halfway up, to let it dry out and gain some strength before I did the top. Next day I finished the top. Then I put a cosmetic layer of cob with no straw(1-2") over that - looks nicer). My oven has no seperate chimney, the smoke comes out the front opening. This way, when it is up to temperature, when I cover the opening, it stays hotter longer. Leave for a few days/week to dry out. then light a SMALL fire inside to help the drying process. I left mine for a week or two befor I light a proper fire. This will burn the cardboard mold completely.
Et voila. Keep it covered from rain. I will post some pictures when I get a chance if that would be of interest.
Cooking? well thats another long post. Ther's more to it than meets the eye......
Thanks so much for all the great info above, really informative and helpful!
ps. Leaddog the photo of the pizza after it had come out of your wood oven looks amazing, I'd buy that pizza!
It is a charcoal fired oven and yes I have made a few pizzas in it. I get the temperature up to 700 and 800 degrees and the pizza is done in 5 minutes.

The Toughest Schedule in the Nation
Strength of Schedule
It would be easy to look at the Mountaineers' team record this season and say it wasn't good, as WVU won just two of its 15 scheduled dual meets.
However, when one delves deeper into the slate that they faced, the Mountaineers tackled what is undoubtedly their toughest schedule in team history, and what is by far and away, the toughest schedule in the NCAA this season.
The Takedown Wrestling Media Dual Impact Index, which is an advanced metric that can be used to determine individual wrestler rankings and team rankings based on multiple factors, has WVU as the team with the second hardest schedule this season – in first place, Minnesota.
However, let's take a closer look at the Golden Gophers' schedule.
Minnesota: 156-108 (.591 win percentage, 19 duals wrestled)
Without a doubt, Minnesota wrestled one of the tougher schedules in the country, but it was aided by the fact that it participated in the National Duals – just like Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Until the final two polls of the season, or the time in which the National Duals were being wrestled, the Golden Gophers were not atop the poll.
In fact, it was the Mountaineers who found themselves atop the poll. Out of the 10 polls released, WVU was at the top of 10 times, with its strength of schedule ranking dipping no lower than seventh all season. Out of the 10 instances, the Mountaineers averaged a SOS rank of 2.4, while Minnesota averaged a SOS rank of 9.6.
Week by Week Rankings for WVU: 1, 7, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 2
Week by Week Rankings for Minnesota: 41, 10, 16, 11, 3, 5, 4, 4, 1, 1
Of the Mountaineers' 12 different opponents, nine finished the season ranked in the top 35 of the Impact Index Poll.
No. 1: Oklahoma State (competed against twice)
No. 2: Penn State
No. 12: Iowa State (competed against twice)
No. 16: Rutgers
No. 22: Pitt
No. 23: Edinboro
No. 26: Maryland
No. 30: Oklahoma (competed against twice)
No. 35: Ohio
Furthermore, WVU's opponents have a combined record of 126-72 – a winning percentage of .636. This, in and of itself, is very good, but when you remove Division III opponent Johns Hopkins, along with former EWL foes Clarion and Lock Haven, the opponent win percentage jumps to .697, with an overall mark of 106-46.
For comparison's sake let's take a look at how the other Big 12 Conference wrestling schools stacked up against the Mountaineers.
Oklahoma State: 162-103-2 (.610 win percentage, 21 duals wrestled)
Oklahoma: 149-94 (.613 win percentage, 17 duals wrestled)
Iowa State: 129-104-1 (.553 win percentage, 16 duals wrestled)
From a win percentage standpoint, WVU certainly appears to have one of, if not the toughest schedule in country.
The Cowboys and the Sooners competed in the NWCA National Duals, while also taking on highly regarded non-conference foes, such as Cornell, Northern Iowa, Virginia Tech and Missouri to name a few.
While the Cyclones did not compete in the National Duals, their schedule was chock full of tough non-conference opponents, Iowa, Rutgers and Northern Iowa are a few of these.
As you can see, these statistics look to support the idea that the Mountaineers had the toughest schedule in the country - it is tough to argue with that data.
Throw in the perennially tough Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, Reno Tournament of Champions and the Big 12 Championships, and you can see why WVU truly wrestled the nation's toughest dual meet schedule and overall schedule in the country.
At-Large Chances
On the eve of Wednesday's NCAA Wrestling Championships selection show, let's take a look at how the resumes of the Mountaineers' at-large bid candidates stack up.
- Shane Young (125)
Young has defeated Stanford's Evan Silver (3-2), Oklahoma's Kyle Garcia (5-4), Rutgers' Joseph Langel (4-3), Ohio's Kevon Powell (11-5), Oklahoma's Kyle Garcia (7-3), Lock Haven's Bobby Rehm (13-8). Each of these opponents has either earned automatic qualification or was ranked in the Feb. 28 coaches' poll.
His only losses this season came against California State-Bakersfield's Tyler Iwamura (4-2), Oklahoma State's Eddie Klimara (3-2), Iowa State's Ryak Finch (1-0, 2-1). Each of these individuals has already earned an automatic qualifier spot in the NCAA Championships.
Young was ranked No. 29 in the latest coaches' poll that came out on Feb. 28. He is also ranked No. 20 in the Takedown Wrestling Media Dual Impact Index.
- Nathan Pennesi (141)
Pennesi has defeated Northern Iowa's Joey Lazor (9-6), Lock Haven's Daniel Neff (4-0), Oklahoma State's Julian Feikert (6-0), Rutgers' Trevor Melde (6-3), Iowa State's Luke Goettl (5-1). Each of these opponents has either earned automatic qualification or were ranked in the Feb. 28 coaches' poll.
His only losses this season have come against North Carolina's Evan Henderson (6-1), Penn State's Bryan Pearsall (2-0), Ohio State's Hunter Stieber (10-4), Harvard's Steve Keith (8-6), Tyler Graff (7-5, currently wrestling at 133), The Citadel's Ugi Khishgnyam (8-4), Oklahoma's Kendric Maple (10-2). Each of these individuals has already earned an automatic qualifier spot in the NCAA Championships.
According to the Takedown Wrestling Media Dual Impact Index, Pennesi has the No. 1 SOS and is ranked No. 19 overall.
In the most recent coaches' poll, Pennesi is ranked No. 13 and has an RPI of No. 11.
- Bubba Scheffel (174)
Scheffel has defeated Boise State's Scotty Bacon (5-3) and Pitt's Nick Bonaccorsi (3-1). Bonaccorsi was the Eastern Wrestling League Champion, while Bacon sits at No. 27 coaches' poll.
One astounding statistic when looking at Scheffel's body of work this year has been that his only losses this season have come against opponents ranked inside the top 20 of the most recent coaches' poll: Maryland's John Asper (5-3), Rutgers' Greg Zannetti (2-1), Iowa State's Tanner Weatherman (8-4, 3-1), Ohio's Cody Walters (2-1), Oklahoma State's Chris Perry (8-2, 12-5).
According to the Takedown Wrestling Media Dual Impact Index, Scheffel is ranked No. 21 and has strength of schedule of No. 18.

my friend and i were looking for something different to eat at work there was a menu balkan grill we went and left with a happy face we had cheese burek and bosnia burgers the guy was so nice and sweet to explain the food to us
Posted by Mark on 07/24/2008
They have a great variety of food. It's mixed Serbian and Turkish and they are both equally great. I eat there at least once a week and I always enjoy it. Make sure you try Bosnian burger, Cevapcici and Burek. You wont regret , trust me!
Posted by Derya Kaya on 06/13/2008
I am very glad to find out this place. They have incredible kofte and much more better than Turkey. They have also kol borek from Sariyer. I recommed to everyone. Thanks god.
Posted by gabby on 09/13/2007
I can't recommend this place enough. Stunningly good schnitzels that rival any I've had in far fancier Germano-Austrian restaurants in the mid-Atlantic. Their Serbian specialties are incredible and deserve a wide audience. The cevapcici sandwich is mind-blowing. And after trying their pljeskavica, you may no longer want normal American hamburgers. Servings are large, making each dish more than enough for two people to share. Everything is cooked fresh upon your order. Very friendly and helpful service.

The Padma Bhushan is the third highest civilian award in the Republic of India, after the Bharat Ratna and the Padma Vibhushan, but comes before the Padma Shri. It is announced on the occasion of Republic Day of India every year. It is conferred by the President of India at a function held at Rashtrapati Bhavan sometime around March/ April.
The award was established on 2 January 1954 by the president of India. It is awarded to recognize distinguished service of a high order to the nation, in any field. As of December 2014, 1229 people have thus far received the award.[2][3] In 2013 the veteran playback singer Mrs.S. Janaki rejected the award, stating that the honour came to her too late and that the artists of South India were not duly recognised.[4]

502 Bad Gateway
It's not your Mother's Nordstrom $JWN. We've all been waiting anxiously while $JWN decided where best to set foot in New York City. Just when you think there's nothing new at retail, leave it to this Family-run retailer to put a twist on its NYC digs. Enter, Treasure & Bond. Occupying the first two floors of 350 West Broadway, this is no mini-Nordi's. What's compelling here is that 100% of the profits after costs go to people in need in NYC. And in this never ending recession, we know there are plenty of New Yorkers in need. The focus here is LOCAL, with an assortment of unique local purveyors of apparel, table top, accessories, footwear, and jewelry.
In a city where the haves and have nots grows painfully apparent more and more each day, it's interesting that $JWN would launch such a foray when first dipping it's toe into the NYC retail market. A unique concept indeed, Treasure & Bond operates independently, merely using $JWN for back-office and seed money. At first I balked at the idea of entering NYC under a retail pseudonym, but the more I think about it, the concept is a brilliant way for $JWN to come in and slowly learn about its target market, all the while ingratiating itself to the New York City community. This next jewel in the Nordi's crown will definitely be one to watch. www.treasureandbond.com

Leftist alienation with Obama is already setting in, and it is hilarious. Here is "Rabbi" Michael Lerner:
Election night tens of millions of us wept for joy. We sang the songs that we had sung as young men and women when we were fighting segregation in the south and then in the North, some of us being beaten, others jailed, some even killed. …
So no wonder why many of us were shocked and deeply disappointed when we learned on Thursday that Congressman Rahm Emanuel was to be the Chief of Staff in the Obama White House.
Emanuel, for those who don't recall, was the Congressman who traveled the country in 2006 finding "suitable" candidates in "swing districts" to run against Republican incumbents, and in many instances he succeeded. But his theory of how to succeed was destructive: he sought the most conservative possible candidates in each district, insisting that local Democratic Party organizations reject more liberal candidates who, he feared, might not win.
A Democratic Party operative seeking out electorally viable candidates? We can't sing Kumbaya to that!
Emanuel will almost certainly be protecting Obama from all of us spiritual progressives and those of us who describe ourselves as the Religious Left-so that our commitment to single-payer universal health care, carbon taxes for environmental protection, a Homeland Security strategy based on generosity and implemented through a Global Marshall Plan, will be unlikely to get a serious hearing in the White House.
You get the sense that Lerner wants to be shut out. Complaining about being shut out or silenced or marginalized or othered comprises approximately three quarters of Lerner's day; how would he fill his time if it was otherwise?
The Rahm Emanuel selection is an early warning that the peace and justice agenda dropped by Obama after he won the Democratic nomination may be permanently on hold, and the progressives themselves may have to settle for "access" and flowery words at an inauguration address rather than the substance of change. For many of us, just the fact of having a brilliant young black man in the White House will be such a healing experience that we won't care about this newly emerging reality: unless Obama creates some other path to access and to public input into his policies by those of us who helped build his electoral success, or unless we organize to do so outside the framework of his campaign organization, we may be in for lots of disappointments.
For some of us, reading missives from jilted progressives is a healing experience.

August 1, 2015
NEW YORK -- New research suggests that global warming increases the chances of heat waves in Texas, like the one that hit the state last year.
The government also confirmed Tuesday that 2011 was among the 15 warmest years on record.
Texas had record heat and drought last year. Part of the problem was a weather pattern called La Nina, which contributed to drought across the South. Scientists in Oregon and England used computer simulations to estimate how much more likely such Texas heat waves are because of global warming. Their preliminary answer: In years with a La Nina, about 20 times more likely than in the 1960s.
Other researchers calculated that in central England, a warm November like last year's is now about 62 times more likely than in the 1960s.

As always, Charlestonians like to help others — in style.
Saturday's Charleston Heart Ball marks the 16th annual Art & Wine Auction put on by the American Heart Association.
Taking place in the beautiful ballroom of the Charleston Marriott on Lockwood Drive, the Heart Ball is one of the most prestigious and philanthropic events in Charleston, making a difference in the lives of those affected by heart disease. Last year's Heart Ball campaign raised more than $51 million nationwide, allowing the organization to fund more than $123 million in research and programs throughout the country, including right here in Charleston.
The black-tie event features an intense live auction of some of the best art, wine and luxury packages available.
It's always a big deal in the art community to know who the chosen artists are. This year's featured artist is Shannon Runquist with her painting "High Cotton." The other artists whose works will be in the live auction are JB Boyd, KC Collins, John Carroll Doyle, Chris Groves, Karen Hewitt Hagan, Jill Hooper, Mark Kelvin Horton, Hilarie Lambert, Laurie Meyer, Jennifer Smith Rogers, Shannon Smith, Leslie Pratt-Thomas, Charles Williams and Mickey Williams.
The event will start with a silent auction during the cocktail hour at 6 p.m. A seated gourmet dinner will follow at 7 p.m., then the live auction will commence. Once you've put your bidding arm to rest, attendees will have the chance to get up and dance to the Palmetto Soul band.
Tickets to the Heart Ball are $250 per person and can be purchased online at ahacharlestonsc.ejoinme.org.
Empty Bowls
Another event for a good cause will be Friday's Empty Bowls at Cone 10 Studios.
The public is invited to partake in a simple meal of soup and bread prepared by Celia Cerasoli, formerly of Celia's Porta Via, and Fiorenzo Berardozzi, who has designed and made tableware for McCrady's and Husk Restaurants.
"Twenty-five potters from the Charleston community have created and donated each of the bowls we will use for the meal. In exchange for a donation of $38 to Crisis Ministries, guests will keep the bowl they have eaten from to remind them of the helping hand they can lend in our community," explains Anne John, owner of Cone 10.
"We are excited to host this Empty Bowls event as a way for Charleston potters and Cone 10 Studios to join together in the effort to fight hunger in our community," said John.
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger that has been used to raise money in communities across the United States. Find out more at www.emptybowls.net.
The event will take place 6-8 p.m. Friday at Cone 10, 180 Morrison Drive. To purchase tickets, call Cone 10 at 853-3345.
Find out more about the working studio and gallery at www.cone10studios.com.
Art competition
Love the art of the Charleston Renaissance?
Here's a chance for you to create impressionistic works inspired by that time period and possibly win some cash, too.
Magnolia Plantation and Gardens and the Charleston Artist Guild have created a nationwide contest called "Garden of Dreams."
Tom Johnson, Magnolia's executive director, said the competition "presents an excellent opportunity for us to attract artists from around the country and pay homage to a historic period in Charleston's art history."
The contest is open to original artwork that depicts a scene at Magnolia Gardens.
A top prize of $3,000 will be awarded to the painting that best "embodies the impressionistic style of painters during the Charleston Renaissance."
There also will be a $1,000 prize for second place, $500 for third place and five honorable mentions, each winning $100.
The works selected for the final judging will be on display at the Charleston Area Visitor Center as well as the Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation.
The show will take place Nov. 10-24 with the deadline to enter Sept. 10. The entry fee is $25 for the first painting and $15 for each additional piece; there is no limit to the number of entries.
Details on how to enter "Garden of Dreams" can be found at www.magnoliaplantation.com and www.charlestonartistguild.com.

East Staffordshire Borough Council outline plans to spend Bargates money
Posted: July 15, 2014|
COUNCIL chiefs have revealed how they will spend part of a £1.5 million cash boost from the Government to spruce up part of Burton to make it more appealing to developers.
East Staffordshire Borough Council has outlined how it will spend cash allocated from the Local Growth Fund to help it push on with plans to build 200 new homes on the former Bargates site.
The authority revealed that it will get its hands on the cash from April next year, and plots to use it to improve the site to try to attract further investment to the Burton Bridge end of the town.
A spokesman for the borough council said: "The funding the council has secured for Bargates will be used to provide infrastructure to service the development, in advance of the scheme's delivery.
"This includes the on-site roads, sewers, electric, gas, telecoms etc.
"This up-front investment will increase the site's commercial viability, therefore making it a more attractive proposition to a developer.
"In terms of the delivery programme, the council expects to receive the funding after April 2015, to be spent within the financial year."
The cash was part of a £7.5 million boost for the area that will include £6 million being spent on the A38 Branston interchange to prepare the area for an influx of thousands of houses over the coming years.
Early predictions have suggested the cash boost will not only push through development in the area, but also create hundreds of new jobs.
The money comes from millions handed out by the Government aimed at improving transport networks, unlocking economic sites and boosting skills provision
Borough council leader Julian Mott said: "The deal is great news for East Staffrdshire."

NEW BOSTON — Infra-Metals hosted an open house at their New Boston construction site on Wednesday to show the community the progress being made on their new steel service facility and to thank local supporters.
After more than six years of planning and site remediation, Infra-Metals signed the land purchase agreement with the Southern Ohio Port Authority (SOPA) in December to build a new $13 million steel service center. In January they awarded the general contract to J&H Erectors of Portsmouth to build a 275,000-square-foot facility on the former diesel shop property located behind Tractor Supply in New Boston. The facility will also include a barge dock on the Ohio River to transport steel material to the plant.
Helping Infra-Metals become a reality after a long planning process, the company was granted property tax abatements by the state of Ohio and the village of New Boston. The company also received site assistance, such as $100,000 from American Electric Power and $150,000 from Flour-B&W and the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative through the Department of Energy.
Don Hadsell of J&H Erectors in Portsmouth said they started construction on the facility just 24 days ago and already the building's steel skeleton can be seen from 52-East standing just behind Tractor Supply. Hadsell praised the quick work of the building trades in southern Ohio and said doors will be open in just a few short months.
"We believe that we're ahead of schedule. J&H indicated today that, weather permitting, we may be as much as a month ahead of schedule for opening. That's very, very encouraging for us. I haven't been here for three weeks, and this is a dramatic difference in the job site," said Infra-Metals Vice President Michael Dean, looking at the steel-beam structure blossoming from the once barren brownfield site.
Dean said the deal almost never happened, after a bad first impression initially knocked New Boston out of the running for Infra-Metals locations. He said the company was convinced to give the village another look by former SOPA Chairman Bob Walton, Sr.
"This is his industrial park," Dean said. "Bob was very instrumental. He literally chased us down the road to get us to come here. We're sorry that he can't be here today to see this. He was really the prime mover on this."
Walton passed away in April 2012, but his son Bob Walton, Jr., stood in for his father at the gathering on Wednesday.
"It's a great example of how hard work and perseverance can really come through for our area. It's amazing what they've been able to do here, in just the last three weeks putting the building up. I think that dad would be incredibly proud. I'm sure he's looking down, smiling that one of his greatest projects, the New Boston Industrial Park, is just about filled now," Walton said.
He said his father was very proud to give back to the village of New Boston where he grew up.
"When the steel mill shut down and everything that happened, I think that he resolved in the mid-80's to do something about it. So really this was something he had been planning for 30 years."
In addition to Walton's contributions, Infra-Metals took a moment to recognize the many people who have helped the company develop its facility in New Boston. The company offered a very special thanks to Fluor-B&W for their contributions to the project.
"Fluor-B&W has a community commitment fund that we take and provide to various opportunities in the community. This is exactly what Fluor-B&W is all about, to take that money and create jobs for the area," said Tim Poe, director of nuclear operations at Fluor-B&W in Piketon.
Infra-Metals in New Boston is expected to begin production later this year and has already hired five new employees, such as Mike Longmire of Wheelersburg.
"It's a great company to work for. They call it the black hole because once you get in you're not getting out. I think (New Boston Infra-Metals General Manager Oak Williams) has been here for 15 years and that was the low-man on the totem pole, if that says anything. Me, personally, I'm excited to be here. I know this community and our area is desperate for something like this, and I believe it's going to change a lot of lives here," he said.
Longmire was hired for inside sales and he officially begins June 10, when he and other new hires are sent to Infra-Metals home office in Connecticut for training.
The New Boston Infra-Metals is located on 1 Sturgill's Way, in the Bob Walton Sr. Industrial Park — named for SOPA Board Members Mick Sturgill (retired) and the late Walton Sr. For more information about the company, visit them online at www.infra-metals.com.

Most of the looks were teamed with fur hats (made from reclaimed furs by Jonny Beardsall) which added to the Russian feel of the show. Alice commented, "I titled my collection Renaissance – not only was I inspired by the sumptuous colours and decadent subjects of the religious paintings and tapestries of the time, but also the meaning of the word; creative reawakening and re-birth." There were some beautiful floor-length dresses produced from draped silk which are sure to make several high profile red carpet appearances, maybe Click through to see photos from the show.

GSP Says The UFC Took His Championship Belt When His Back Was Turned
We left the GSP hysteria back in 2013 where the former UFC welterweight champ left his UFC world title behind for a shot at taking care of his compounding personal affairs.
But now Georges is spreading a tale through the media about how his former employer (UFC) and how they actually had the nerve to take his belt from him while his back was turned at UFC 167.
Here's what GSP told the media recently about this situation:
"I'm taking my shower after the fight. I'm in my suit and tie, after that, they passed by, took the belt and they left with it, without even telling me. I have the belts I won before, but I don't have the one from my last fight."

The UFC is pissed because they know that no matter who wins between Hendricks and Lawler they won't really be considered the real champ unless they beat GSP decisively.
No, everyone knows gsp lost, gsp knows gsp lost, just not officially.
I thought GSP won that fight in my opinion. So that's not everyone
You must have fallen asleep for 3 rounds….
No, I thought GSP won, a lot of people did, but I can see why someone thought that Hendricks had won the fight, I just can't see why you people can understand that an opinion is an opinion.
You people?….why can't you understand that there are more people that think Johnny won the fight then lost that fight…
also more people that think a fight is judged soley on damage and dont realize that each round in essence is its own seperate fight…individually scored rounds…not a fight scored as a whole…id wager anything majority of so called fans are clueless about this…
The only reason you think GSP won that fight is that you are punch drunk like he is lol
everyone meaning GSP haters and just bleed morons that dont understand scoring and rounds u mean? round 1 was close and hard to judge…round 2 hendricks…round 3 GSP…round 4 hendricks…round 5 GSP…the only questionable round was round 1…thats what the fight hinged on…cant see how anyone cant understand this if you understand how the fights are judged…not how you think they should be judged but how they actually are…no controversy…just a close fight
Personally I thought Hendricks won. But after looking at the fight stats And reading the nsac rules on judging it was much closer then I thought it was. Personally I like both fighters n was just hoping for a good hard fight n not a complete domination by one or the other. Every body can agree to disagree but the decision was made a while ago. Why r people still arguing over it like its gonn some how make a difference?
If this is true, it's a F'd up move by the UFC. GSP has made them TONS of money over the years. And now, when he obviously needs a personal break, they're going to get all pissy and literally take away his belt? Hey UFC, fighters are human beings too.
MMA 'news' outlets are becoming more and more sensationalist. he made a pretty basic comment. the comment leaves room for interpretation, but he's certainly not putting the UFC on full blast here.
if anyone stole the belt it was GSP, when he was given the win against Hendricks… not one person i talked to thinks GSP won that fight… quit crying George and go spend time with your boyfriend… that is why you quit, right? because the media and the whole world was figuring out that you were gay… just finally come out and admit it man!!! it's not that big of a deal…
you are an idiot. UFC is a joke now. Relationships are irreverent. Hendricks tapped out in the very beginning but the officiating was told to let it go on. Next time GSP fights whats his name – it will be scare and done quickly. Thanks for the class GSP.
if anyone is the idiot its you shane, maybe you should research your beloved gsp some more, who has been caught cheating once before for rubbing vaseline on his back to counter bj penns rubber guard , laid on him and "controlled the fight from the top" to win. Look at his last 12 fights, 9 out of 12 of them went all 5 rounds. Ever since Matt Serra knocked him out, he hasnt fought the same , and if you call that a tap out your obviously fucking retarded, anyone who knows a damn thing about combat sports can tell the difference between a tap out and a slow motion camera shot of a scramble situation. Do you even know a damn thing about mma ? gsp is only human, just as the great Anderson Spider Silva, he did what he could to make his impact on mma, he just didnt do it right. He cheated fought boring ass fights just to keep his belt. learn a little bit about your subject before you say something that stupid again.
wow Jade – you are so smart – wait nope I was mistaken. I see you must have lost money against GSP – cant bet against a champion. as for winning 9 out of 12 matches going the full 5 rounds – that is amazing – a true athlete but you wont understand that would you. I bet you could last two seconds in any ring. Good luck with your life.
and those peoples opinions arent worth shit if they share a similar mentality such as yours
It's because you did not win the last fight.
Hey idiots he had it at the press conference…
I don't know why nobody is talking about how Hendricks clearly tapped out in the first round!!! Watch the replay the ref missed it!!
Maybe it was the aliens.
GSP won the fight. He dominated the last round was better in the first and fourth, yeah he wasnt dominant like most of his fights, it is fair game, we dont give belts just because hendricks level was close to GSP. GSP was better and he deserved to win.
wonder what will happen if i tell my employer that i might not show up tommorrow and that i need some time off. im going crazy, I think what will happen is….they will buy in to my BS and let me take some time off!
Well remember what Dana said. George owes Hendricks, George owes the company and George owes the fans. I mean, what did George ever do for the UFC Obviously not as much as Dana feels they did for him.
Really? The media this writer is quoting from is Infoman, a comedy show doing satire on news reporting

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 12)-After weather conditions had affected the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Regional Championships on the first two days of the tournament, the New Mexico State women's tennis team returned to the court for singles action.
In the second round of singles, senior Ginet Pinero led the Aggies with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Alexis Garrett of UNLV. Pinero advanced to the third round but fell to Haley Driver of Montana, 6-3, 6-2.
"It was a hard fought match, and Ginet had chances to win but there were a few too many unforced errors," head coach Ivan Fernandez said. "Ginet is playing the best that I have seen her play since she has been at NM State. It is great to see her playing her best in her senior year."
Also in second-round action, sophomore Denise Van Der Ben fell to Simona Synkova of Wyoming, 6-1, 6-3, and freshman Lisa Roslanova fell to Johanna Vang of Northern Arizona, 6-0, 7-5.
The tournament continues Saturday, Oct. 13 with the consolation rounds of doubles and singles.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is now doing an investigation regarding the incident of beating TV host/actor Vhong Navarro.
In the reports, it was found out that the comedian was reported and complained to Taguig police after having harassed a 22-year-old girl at Bonifacio Global City.
John Consulta, who also went to the police station, said that when he went to the office of Southern Police District at Bonifacion Global City, he saw a police blotter signed by Ferdinand Navarro himself, the real name of Vhong.
In the blotter, the incident during the night Vhong was beaten on Wednesday, January 22, at a condominium at Bonafacio Global City was detailed.
Also, it was stated that at 10:00 PM, Vhong visited the condominium unit of a 22-year-old female student, whose name is still withheld.
When the actor entered, the girl was shocked when Vhong immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her hair forcing her to sit down.
However, the girl fought back and ran to the room when she felt the motive of the actor. Then, Vhong headed to the room, forced her to lie on the bed and attempted to pull her shorts down.
Furthermore, the blotter says that the girl pleaded to Vhong to stop but he still went on top of her.
In the situation mentioned, the two friends of the girl arrived at the condo unit and rescued the victim doing the citizen's arrest.
They brought Vhong to the police station to have the incident recorded in a blotter report, but it was stated in the end of the blotter that the victims will not file a lawsuit against the actor.
Moreover, through a document acquired from the security agency, it was proven that Vhong went to the unit on the said day, as well as the friends of the girl, who are also doing their self-investigation now.
It was also stated in the report that GMA News tried to get the side of Vhong but there was not reply until the incident was aired on the news.
However, Director Chito Roño, Vhong's manager, announced last Friday that the actor went to the condo for the invitation of a girl friend.
Then, without any reason, Vhong was attacked by six men, blindfolded, beat and asked for money.
Currently, Vhong is recovering at a hospital.
"He has broken bones in his nose which will require surgery," the doctor said. "We will continue his medications as of the moment and monitor for recovery."

08/21/03 - Bioluminescence
After ominous-looking rain clouds yesterday afternoon that sent the media back on their way to port 20 minutes ahead of schedule, the skies cleared once again, and a glistening sun set over the distant horizon. Early morning trawling netted some squid and jellies, and a variety of fishes including numerous Leptocephali (eel larva) which were examined under microscope for species identification.
Before daybreak, we steamed towards this morning's scheduled dive site. Sonar images from the ship's fathometer were tracked, and the profile they presented sketched, to get a better picture of the ocean floor. Where the sonar hits hard substrate, the image reflected creates a solid line on the computer-drawn profile. It is theorized that where Lophelia and other corals are located, much of the sonar is absorbed by the coral, resulting in a scattered and choppy looking profile pattern. Therefore these images can be used to help maximize potential diving where Lophelia grows in abundance.
As results from this morning's dive indicated, not only was the site right on target, but the diversity of species seen living in this unique habitat, including those collected, was spectacular.
The afternoon dive focused on collecting additional deepwater video footage. Art Howard, photographer, and Allen Brooks with USGS spent about four hours filming in this incredible environment. They were surprised that they did not see more big fish but were amazed by the bioluminescence. We will continue to study this area tonight by putting several trawls and nets in the water. Nighttime is a good time to sample because many fish rise to the surface in the dark.

Author of the fresh Night Music that dipicts the loving musician of the 70s, the ex Married Monk, and still existing member of Zombie Zombie, Etienne Jaumet is, before any styles set, the spokesperson of a sonic experience.
Along with Gianluca Petrella, a trombonist among the best in the world as well as the unquestioned protagonist of the Italian jazz-tronic, his music is open to new forms of improvisation where rhythm and clouds of synthesizer flow together in a dreamlike and danceable mix.
Etienne Jaumet on the synth, drum machine, theremin and sax, Gianluca on the trombone, Fender Rhodes and effects, propose a unique set and therefore not easily categorized, fluid in passing between genres and careful in creating their own way and performance times.

I've treated the girls on a cosy picknick in the shop.
To celebrate Lunette's goodbey. She will fly home after her long yourney
and her long stay here in the shop.
She travelled from Langley (US) to Florida, to Georgia, to Alaska to Canada to Australia, to Tasmania and finally to the Netherlands, where she helped me to start up my new shop.
She really was a big help. The only thing was she did put her pockets full with all kinds of buttons and ribbons, "for Barrie" she said. Naughty girl.
The last weeks Lunette and Merle became best friends. Merle will fly to the USA, as well.

Parents Cash In For Their Children Attending School, Behaving In Classroom
|Look what I brought home, mom!
Yesterday a dozen parents at Jefferson Elementary School in the Carr Square Neighborhood north of downtown St. Louis were rewarded with $300 to $600 in gift cards and feted with cake and fruit juice for successfully participating in the program.
Collectively, their children had half the absences of other students at the school not enrolled in the program. The scheme had less success with curbing suspension rates, with students in the program being expelled for misbehavior nearly as much as other students.
So, does this count as a success?
Yes, according to Urban Strategies, the non-profit organization that's funding the social experiment and hopes to improve Jefferson Elementary's dismal academic record. Last year fewer than 15 percent of students at the school passed state reading and math tests.
Say what you will, at least the $600 that parent Felicia Lewis received yesterday is going to directly help her family. Two of her kids qualified for the award (a third child was suspended from school), and Lewis says she'll use the money to pay the gas bill and buy her kids Christmas presents. She says her home was burglarized last month with most the family's valuables stolen.

text: I've been using fitday for a while now, it's great. I was just wondering, say, when eating a banana, if I weigh it, once I unpeel it and lay it on there and it says 3.35 oz, I would mark down 3.35 oz yields on there right? That seems right, but its only 55 cals, and when I just mark the option 1 small banana its 92 cals. Am I right by weighing it? Also the same with apples if I weigh it before I eat it, then weigh the core when done, and subtract that and put that oz. amount as yields is that right?

By Mark Shields
Nelson Algren, the great Chicago writer, provided American males with three timeless rules for life:
Never play cards with a man named Doc. Never eat at a place called Moms. And never lie down with a woman who has more troubles than you do.
It must be obvious by now that the recently resigned CIA director, retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, with a Ph.D. from Princeton, either did not read or did not heed Nelson Algren.
We have learned that Petraeus almost revered by the press corps who covered him and by so many in Congress for his intellect, leadership and skill was a man of flawed judgment. In February 2010, when Petraeus was commander of the U.S. Central Command, with its headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., he and Mrs. Petraeus attended a Gasparilla Pirate Festival party at the Tampa home of Dr. Scott and Jill Kelley.
The general made the approximately nine-mile trip to the Kelley home in the company of a 28-police officer motorcycle escort. Thats right, 28 on-duty police officers, instead of patrolling the city or walking a neighborhood beat, were diverted in order to provide a papal-size motorcade to accompany Petraeus to a social event.
What level of self-importance would you have to have reached in order not to reject out of hand as personally unacceptable so obvious a misuse of the time and talents of public safety officers?
You want more evidence? How about Petraeus backing of Jill Kelleys twin sister, Natalie Khawam, who, according to District of Columbia Superior Court Neal Kravitz, who had ruled against her in a custody case involving her 4-year-old son, appears to lack any appreciation or respect for the importance of honesty and integrity in her interactions with her family, employers and others with whom she comes in contact.
So Petraeus chooses to wade into the middle of a bitter domestic relations fight and having known her for approximately three years, writes a letter to the court stating that he and his wife, Holly, had seen first-hand a very loving relationship between Khawam and her son when they and the Kelleys had been the Petraeuses guests for Christmas dinner.
The nations top spy, ever discreet and shrewd, in order to communicate with perhaps to send coded sweet nothings to his biographer-lover, Paula Broadwell, sets up a gmail account.
Broadwell, possibly upset by that Christmas dinner invitation, was not pleased with Jill Kelleys personal friendship with Petraeus and, according to law enforcement officials who have investigated the case, sent anonymous, harassing emails to Kelley.
According to the New York Daily News, one unsigned email allegedly threatened to make Kelley go away, which has a menacing sound to it. If this is accurate, then Kelleys seeking an FBI friend to find the identity of the sender of such messages becomes more understandable.
The hint of overly possessive-obsessive behavior toward the Married Man by the Other Woman recalls Alex Forest, the character so superbly created by Glenn Close in the 1987 blockbuster Fatal Attraction, who after a mad weekend fling with seemingly happily-married lawyer Dan Gallagher, believably played by Michael Douglas, refuses to be ignored and makes unbearable the lives of the adulterous Gallagher and his family.
This movie, someone wisely observed, scared the pants ONTO countless married men. I recall meeting Close during the 2004 New Hampshire primary, when she wanted to talk politics and I just wanted to tell her (as she had probably heard 10,413 times) that she had done more for male marital fidelity in that one movie than all the sermons given from all the pulpits since 1950.
It was the great Southern writer Walker Percy who urged, Do not be the kind of person who gets all As and flunks ordinary living.
Judgment really does matter.

Tired, Wet Fans Angry With the Black Eyed Peas
It doesn't take much to anger a typical New Yorker, so imagine just how pissed the crowd of thousands were after waiting in sweltering heat for six hours -- then two more in the rain -- and then being told that the Black Eyed Peas concert in Central Park simply was not happening.
"What, Will.I.Am can't play in the rain? Is Fergie's hair gonna get wet," said Queens resident Brian Moriarty, 26, who lined up with his girlfriend at 3 p.m. hoping to get a prime general admission spot close to the stage.
The pre-show festivities with performances by Taylor Swift, Carole King and Tony Bennett were scheduled to start at 5 but were delayed due to bad weather, leaving folks like Moriarty stranded in the sopping wet heat. Gates were finally opened to concert-goers at 7:45, but once fans had finally settled into the park the police department announced they were shutting everything down due to lightning.
In a statement, the Robin Hood Foundation said: "The heat wasn't going to stop them, the rain wasn't going to stop them, but the lightning-it stopped them. It came down to safety for everyone."
They hope to reschedule soon and will be providing more information "in the next week or so" on the foundation's website.
While weather is certainly something entirely out of the Black Eyed Peas control, the canceled concert put another black mark on the band's brand following what can only be described as a disastrous performance at the Super Bowl earlier this year. The Central Park concert was a chance to redeem themselves with fans in a high profile venue. Unfortunately with no rain date on the horizon, the Peas will have to find a new venue to prove their worth.
Anti-BEP Twitter sentiment ran high Thursday night with some haters calling it an act of god.
Taboo told fans in a tweet that Fergie was really bummed about the cancellation. She was probably less bummed than the thousands who packed the streets of the Upper West Side searching for a cab in the downpour with sunburned noses, soaking shorts and nary a Peas song in their heads.

This just PROVES these 'celebs' don't care about the average person...only about themselves. They could have said something BEFORE people stood in line for 8 hours...HELLO!!!!
There's NO WAY I would have waited in line THAT long for ANYONE, let alone TAYLOR SWIFT...PLEASE!!!!!
- Friday 10 JuneBy Chet
Right because they told people to wait in line for that long? And they also had psychic powers to know lightning was going to cause the police to force the cancellation? What exactly did the B.E.P. do wrong?
- Friday 10 JuneBy themeeker
Well, there really was a lot of lightning in NYC last night. Even though it's a rotten shame, I think they made the right decision. How much blame would they have gotten if someone got hurt?
- Friday 10 JuneBy Barbara
Do you people not realize lightning can strike them in the rain?
And what performer wants to perform wet after all that planning, makeup of acts.
- Friday 10 JuneBy ofalaska
Right...Taylor was too good to be caught on a stage with them, although the whole purpose was for The Robin Hood Foundation that helps poor kids, which is why she took time off from her sold-out tour (as always) to donate the time and her band. New York is just a dsyfunctional cluster-fuuuucc of over-crowded lunacy anyway.
- Friday 10 JuneBy KR
Their music sounds like it was written by a 12 year old and performed by karaoke rejects. If you bothered to wait that long to see them, you got what you deserved.
- Friday 10 JuneBy Tricia
Chet, seriously, you bring reaon and careful thought to one of these conversations? WTH!
- Friday 10 JuneBy Joyce
Chet, every time they make "music" they are doing something wrong.
- Friday 10 JuneBy Ashley
Of course they cant play in the rain. They cant risk the machines that auto tunes everything for them getting wet and/or ruined.
- Friday 10 JuneBy hot momma
I agree w/Chet. Shuff happens, BEP is good n all but they can't control the weather for an OUTDOOR show in the SUMMER. Ummm, watch one of the 1 zillion weather channels before you go... DUH! Boo Who, they were hot and wet. Who cares.
- Friday 10 June
The BEPs made the right call in this case.
But to stand around for 8 hours in miserable conditions waiting to see what we all saw at half time during the last Super Bowl? There's the real mistake right there.
- Friday 10 JuneBy bogey
OH NO!!!!!! No Black eyed peas. Life as we know it is over.
- Friday 10 JuneBy brauns311
Thats what you loosers get for paying to see a bunch of no talent bs.They are the worst act ever!
- Friday 10 JuneBy diane
- Friday 10 JuneBy fjreoespt
Somehow I don't understand how the performers are being blamed for something that wasn't their decision. If the concert had went on and lightning had struck a crowd of 20,000 people how many would have died and who would you be pointing fingers at?
Whether the concert starts or it doesn't is up to the organizers not the performers. If the concert had started and the B.E.P.'s failed to show, then you would have a right to blame them, but you don't.
I'm tired of weak minded people spreading hate because they don't have anything more constructive to do.
- Friday 10 JuneBy mattf0504
or understand what they are reading NOT their fault do they control the weather
- Friday 10 JuneBy bellars
Umm wtf? They did not make the decision, it was park officials and police. People are not smart at all!
- Friday 10 JuneBy isalcefus
If it was storming, lightning,windy, rain and electricity don't go well together, what is wrong with you? If you stood out there for 8 hrs, who has the problem?
- Friday 10 JuneBy goldie
Concert promoters, police and park officials cancelled the show, the BEP wanted to go on. Will was on twitter saying he wanted to go on! They were upset. But... let's be real, lightning was awful there, and it could have easily hit people standing in an open space, let alone the electriciy for equipment. Grow up Everyone!
