Cleanup On Washington Street
Public comments are being asked for by the state Department of Environmental Conservation when it comes to the C&B Dry Cleaners site.
On Monday a public meeting was held at the James Prendergast Library, where people had the chance to discuss the remedy proposed for the site. Four members of the public attended the meeting.
Martin Doster, DEC regional engineer, Anthony Lopes, DEC environmental engineer, and Kristen Davidson DEC citizen participation specialist, led the informative session. The proposed remedial action plan includes the excavation and off-site disposal of on-site shallow contaminated soils which exceed guidance limits.
The DEC will conduct an engineering design for the site that is anticipated to be complete in 2014. DEC officials stated they will keep the public informed throughout the investigation and cleanup of the site. The cost of the environmental cleanup is estimated to be around $1,264,000. Project work will be done in 2014-15.
The site is currently inactive. Chautauqua County obtained the property through foreclosure in 2001. The .22 acre site is located at 2241 Washington St., Jamestown. The site is located south of Pal Joey's. It was operated as a dry cleaners from 1931 until 1999. In 2001, based on an environmental site assessment and site inspections, the county conducted an emergency removal action to remove various abandoned chemicals and solvents, including bleach, ethylene based solvents and tetrachlorethene. Two 500-gallon underground storage tanks, associated piping and excavated soil/fill were removed and disposed off-site during this 2001 emergency removal action. The building was demolished in 2003.
Access to the site is unrestricted. However, contact with contaminated soil or groundwater is unlikely unless people dig below the ground surface. People are not drinking the contaminated groundwater because the area is served by a public water supply that is not contaminated by the site.
Volatile organic compounds in the groundwater may move into the soil vapor, which in turn may move into overlying buildings and affect the indoor air quality. This process, which is similar to the movement of radon gas from the subsurface into the indoor air of buildings, is referred to as "soil vapor intrusion." Because there is no on-site building, inhalation of site contaminants in indoor air due to soil-vapor intrusion does not represent a concern for the site in its current condition. However, the potential exists for the inhalation of site contaminants due to soil-vapor intrusion for any future on-site development. A sub-slab depressurization system has been installed in an off-site building to prevent the indoor air quality from being affected by the contamination in soil vapor beneath the building.
People who did not attend the meeting can still submit a written response during the 45-day comment period, which ends March 31. Written comments can be mailed to Lopes at DEC division of environmental remediation, 270 Michigan Ave., Buffalo, NY 14203.

Commentary on
Implications for practice and research
Staff need more education around identification of pain and options for management among the older population.
Pain assessment methods should be brief and simple, followed by an algorithm for management.
The need to explore organisational barriers which inhibit effective management and to develop more creative ways of overcoming such barriers.
The need to evaluate treatment pathways.
This study was conducted within two geriatric units in a public teaching hospital in Australia. The authors identify the need to explore pain assessment and management, a complex phenomenon that makes up the decision-making process and includes environment, communication and other previously unexplored …

The 15th annual Tampa Bay Marathon Swim is this Saturday! TBMS is – I think it's fair to say – the toughest organized swim race in the United States.
New this year, the race will have live GPS tracking. I've also agreed to provide some color commentary on the official TBMS Twitter account – follow @DistanceMatters if you're interested. For those following the GPS tracking, here are two paths from last year's race: mine, and Bob Needham's (1, 2, 3).
Current weather forecasts call for a 60% chance of rain (possible thunderstorms), with 10-15mph winds out of the SSW. That's a favorable wind direction, but let's hope the lightning stays away.
Best of luck to all the swimmers!

Selecting this year's best tables in Palm Beach County was particularly challenging—a testament to our area's growing reputation for remarkable dining. Here are the 10 tables at the top of the local food chain.
Little Moir's Food Shack | Jupiter
The chocolate "Whoiswhatzit."
No, Food Shack (561-741-3626) doesn't take reservations, and yes, you'll probably have to wait. It's noisy, and the decor resembles a ramshackle beach bar. Yet ever since Mike Moir left the Reef Grill and opened this place in 2002, it's been packed from opening to closing. Part of the secret is absolutely fresh seafood prepared in clever ways (Moir likes to say this is a farm-to-table restaurant, and his farm is the ocean). The other part is a laid-back island vibe that will make you forget the stresses of daily life. Moir's kitchen is a culinary think tank, and on some evenings the list of daily specials is longer than the menu itself. There are more beers than wines on the list, and that only adds to the fun.
Sushi Simon | Boynton Beach
North of the Border roll.
It's one of the mysteries of the universe: In a place with as much quality seafood as South Florida, why isn't there better (or at least more authentic) sushi? Sushi Simon (561-731-1819) is the antidote for the ho-hum sushi bar and the all-you-can-eat buffet; one visit will demonstrate why diners come to this narrow storefront from all over Palm Beach County and beyond. While you can find the same selection of "designer" rolls elsewhere, Sushi Simon stocks a treasure trove of delights for the connoisseur: scallops from Hokkaido, blue fin toro, uni, Japanese kampachi and snapper, and ama ebi (sweet shrimp grilled with the heads on). Accompany it with premium sake, an inventive cocktail or a wine from the short list.
Chops Lobster Bar | Boca Raton
Chops' ahi tuna tartare.
While many competitors are still languishing in the nineteenth century, the southernmost outpost of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, Chops Lobster Bar (561-395-2675), has brought the steak house concept into the twenty-first with an impressive selection of fresh and carefully sourced seafood such as Maine scallops, Florida black grouper, pristine ahi tuna, whole Dover Sole and oysters from both coasts. Of course, should you want a steak, you won't be disappointed: You'll receive a hefty cut of USDA Prime, aged 48 days and cooked to perfection, including all the classics—filet, New York Strip, bone-in rib eye and the "Porterhouse Experience" for one, two or three. Add elegant, clubby surroundings and a noteworthy wine list, and you'll understand why Chops has become the success story of Boca's "new downtown."
50 Ocean | Delray Beach
Whole belly clams.
In many ways, 50 Ocean (561-278-3364) incorporates the best aspects of dining out in Florida: elegant surroundings, creative food and a spectacular view of the sand and surf. Have a drink at the backlit quartz bar, gaze at the pictures of Hemingway and snag a table on the outdoor observation deck. Chef Blake Malatesta's menu is full of surprises: crispy whole belly clams, briny and artfully fried, that will transport you to New England; roasted chicken soup with egg noodles and root vegetables; Korean-style short ribs; Belly and Biscuits (pork belly with buttermilk biscuits and white chocolate-pepper gravy); and a strong selection of "dock-to-door" seafood. During the Sunday brunch, don't miss the build-your-own Grey Goose Bloody Mary bar, featuring more than 30 different garnishes to customize your eye-opener.
PB Catch | Palm Beach
PB Catch's the appetizer sampler.
Just how innovative is PB Catch (561-655-5558)? For one thing, it has the finest raw bar in the area—a vast expanse of crushed ice containing a dazzling selection of bivalves from all the best venues throughout the United States and British Columbia. For another, the restaurant has developed and trademarked something called Seacuterie, a proprietary method of curing and smoking seafood similar to charcuterie; selections include salmon pastrami, Szechuan cured kampachi, and lemon and oregano cured swordfish. Burgers and steaks are also available for non-fish fans. PB Catch was the brainchild of Thierry Beaud and Reid Boren, proprietors of Pistache in West Palm, and Chef de Cuisine Aaron Black has seamlessly taken over from Julien Gremaud.

Homegrown Gels
Ask the Coach
I'm interested in ditching pre-packaged electrolyte-replacement products in favor of homemade gels ...
Illustration by Jeremy Collins
I'm interested in ditching pre-packaged electrolyte-replacement products in favor of homemade gels for my long training runs and trail ultras. Can you give me an example of a good recipe?
—Ben Luedke, Sammamish, WA
There is a reason most of us reach for the pre-packaged goop when racing and training—it is simple and it works. Homemade gels can be time consuming to create, go rancid quickly and can be hard to manage. However, for the health conscious, reading the label of most gel packages can leave you scratching your head. The only way to truly know what you are consuming is to create your own energy mix.
My first foray into Frankenstein homemade gels came after reading professional triathlete Brendan Brazier's book Thrive, The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life. Says Brazier, "You'll want a blend of carbohydrate sources, both quick [glucose] and slow release [fructose]."
The base of Brazier's gels is two-thirds dates by volume because of their glucose content. Since fructose is processed by the liver, the body takes longer to feel the resulting energy after ingestion. Brazier adds one-third agave nectar or maple syrup as his slow-release sugar (Honey could also be used as it is a mix of glucose and fructose). He finishes the gel with a dash of coconut oil, which he says "acts more like a carbohydrate" than a fat. To even out the sweetness of the concoction and make it more palatable, he suggests adding lemon or lime zest.

Benedict XVI: Christian Radical
By Samuel Gregg
As the condom-wars ignited by Benedict XVI's Light of the World abate, some attention might finally be paid to the book's broader themes and what they indicate about Benedict's pontificate. In this regard, perhaps the interview's most revealing aspect is the picture that emerges of Pope Benedict as nothing more and nothing less than a Christian radical.
Those accustomed to cartoon-like depictions of Joseph Ratzinger as a "reactionary" might be surprised by this description. But by "radical," I don't mean the type of priest or minister who only wears clerical garb when attending left-wing rallies or publically disputing particular church doctrines.
The word "radical" comes from the Latin radix, meaning "root." It's in this sense Benedict is radical. His pontificate is about going back to Christianity's roots to make, as Benedict says, "visible again the center of Christian life" and then shining that light upon the world so that we might see the truth about ourselves.
At Christianity's center, Benedict states, is the person of Jesus Christ. But this person, the pope insists, is not whoever we want him to be. Christ is not the self-help guru proclaimed by the charlatans of the Prosperity Gospel. Nor is he the proto-Marxist beloved by devotees of the now-defunct liberation theologies. Still less is Christ a "compassionate, super-intelligent gay man", as once opined by that noted biblical scholar, Elton John.
According to Benedict, Christ is who Christ says he is: the Son of God. Hence, there is no contradiction between what some call "the Christ of faith" and "the Christ of history." In Light of the World, Benedict confirms that underscoring this point was why he wrote his best-selling Jesus of Nazareth (2007). "The Jesus in whom we believe," Benedict claims, "is really also the historical Jesus." (more…)

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Board of higher ed supports chancellor
The State Board of Higher Education expressed its support for embattled university system chancellor Hamid Shirvani Sunday.
"As the current president, vice president and immediate past president of the State Board of Higher Education, we are disappointed in the recent resolutions of the North Dakota Student Association," said Duaine Espegard, Kirsten Diederich, and Grant Shaft in a joint press release on Sunday. "The Board remains in full support of the policies adopted by the Board and implemented by Chancellor Shirvani."
On Saturday the North Dakota Student Association passed a resolution in support of amending a state Senate bill to fund a buyout of Shirvani's contract. That bill, Senate Bill 2003, is scheduled for a vote on the Senate floor sometime this week before legislative crossover on Friday. The amendment was proposed by Sen. Tony Grindberg, R-Fargo, who said earlier this month that Shirvani has demonstrated questionable leadership and has increased mistrust among the university presidents.
The North Dakota Student Association, made up of student representatives from the state's 11 public colleges and universities, also passed a vote of no confidence in Shirvani on Saturday. The association claimed in its press release that "the hierarchical, top-down culture for communication and authority, as shown in written communications from the Chancellor as well as changes to SBHE policy during his first few months in office, have created a culture of mistrust and disconnect" inconsistent with the "culture of openness and access" necessary for an effective higher education system.
Earlier this month, Minot State University's student government also passed a vote of no confidence in Shirvani and a resolution expressing support for a buyout of Shirvani's contract. The Minot State Student Government specifically cited concerns about Shirvani's Pathways to Student Success document. Among other changes, the Pathways to Student Success plan would end flat-rate tuition for out-of-state and international students at North Dakota colleges and universities, tighten admission requirements at the state's four-year universities and reduce available tuition waivers, with waivers not to exceed 5 percent of the previous year's undergraduate tuition charges.
In the State Board of Higher Education response, Espegard, Diederich and Shaft said Shirvani has done what he was asked to do when he was hired less than a year ago.
"The Board hired Chancellor Shirvani to assist the Board in implementing reforms to the University System with the intent of elevating the quality of the overall system while focusing on greater accountability and efficiencies," they stated. "Chancellor Shirvani has worked tirelessly to engage all of our constituencies with a passion that has been absent for some time. In a very short period of time, Chancellor Shirvani's leadership and knowledge have aided the Board in addressing policies that have plagued the Board for many years. In carrying out our overall policies, directions, and agenda he has worked arduously and with dedication to make North Dakota's colleges and universities into a student-centered and mission-driven system."
Shirvani did not return a call seeking comment on Friday from The Minot Daily News but told the Associated Press earlier this month that he has no plans to resign. The cost of buying out his contract has been estimated at as much as $800,000.

Get the skinny on Brad's
PersonalBlue plan. >>
Yep, my parents still worry about me, even though I'm a sophomore in college. That's cool though and I really shouldn't complain. They helped me find the perfect health insurance plan for me…and they're paying for it! My PersonalBlue plan helps my parents chill. They know I'm covered in case anything unexpected comes up. And I like it because my generic prescription drugs only cost $8. Pretty sweet deal when you're on a college budget! We kept the monthly payment low by choosing a plan with a deductible/coinsurance option for doctor's visits.

Illaria, Mirja, Stephen, Cara
Mirja and Illaria went through the details of how to run the promotion of the gallery, this means a few tweaks to the way we currently do things, put it should not take up any extra time and looks like it will improve our exposure massively.
The details of the new process are attached in this thread
We plan to start this ASAP, the new submissions guidelines will be uploaded so that any new submissions will be filtered through the new system, we could begin this new promotion system with the 2 shows mike is doing next or if that is not possible we will begin the new promotion system with the April show.
AP: Stephen to update submissions guidlines
AP: Stephen to contact april artists to get relevant info.
Website update
We have a wordpress blog. It is free but we can't have our own domain name or change the code at all, it is an OK temporary solution for now though. Cara has experience with websites, so she can look into it for us.
AP: stephen to send details to Cara
Proposal for summer slots
everyone seems keen on the idea sent round by email. Go with that, but will split 2 week show for adam burton into 2 one week shows so that Mike's artist can be accomodated. Both shows are easy to put up and down.

Legislators hear about the benefits of educational and job programs
MARSHALL – Some could only say their name and how long they had been in the United States. Others said how happy they felt that they could finally be understood in English and how they can now help their children with their homework and enhance their job skills.
District 22A House Rep. Joe Schomacker, R-Luverne, said he could see the level of confidence grow in each speaker the more English they could speak.
Schomacker, along with District 17 Sen. Lyle Koenen DFL-Clara City, and District 16A Rep. Chris Swedzinski, R-Ghent, attended a legislative panel titled "Workforce Development in Southwest Minnesota: What the Partnership Offers to Minnesota's Future – Adult Education and the Workforce System's Role in Strengthening our Economy" Friday afternoon at the Lyon County Government Center in Marshall. They heard from people who are in the English as a Second Language program, people getting their GED and people who received certificates as certified nursing assistants.
Representatives from Adult Basic Education, Southwest Minnesota Private Industry Council and Southwest Minnesota WorkForce attended as well to let the legislators know the impact their programs have in assisting individuals obtain, retain, or improve employment opportunities in southwest Minnesota.
Joan Danielson, Job Service field operations area manager, said that rural Minnesota has a low unemployment rate, which is usually good news, but for southwest Minnesota it means there are not enough skilled workers.
To fill the needs of employers, especially in the industrial and health care areas, programs have been set up to help unemployed or underemployed individuals receive industrial maintenance and certified nursing assistant certificates. Various agencies work in concert with each other to help the students who might need to better their English, math or computer skills.
Chris Ellingson, the human resources manager for the seven Schwan Food Co. plants in Marshall, said he relies on people who graduate from the industrial maintenance and ESL programs.
"I hire nonstop," he said. "We take them and train them further."
Ellingson said there is a workforce shortage because the population in southwestern Minnesota "isn't growing," and furthermore "60 percent will retire in five to seven years."
Julie Kellen of Pipestone wasn't able to attend the panel because she was at work and happily so. She sent a letter which told of her losing three jobs in four years. She was a 51-year-old who had worked at Bayliner Marine in Pipestone for about 20 years when she was laid off. She attended a resume-writing class at WorkForce in Marshall. WorkForce directed her to the ABE Center for math, reading and computer skills testing.
"My life and career path changed for me that day," she wrote. She enrolled in the CNA program and worked on her math, computer and job training skills "which will set a foundation for more advancement in my career," she wrote. She drove two hours each day to get to classes. She now has an "updated resume with a degree, works full time at Maple Lawn Nursing Home in Fulda and part time in Slayton at Golden Living Center."
Schomacker said he appreciated hearing the stories of how the various agencies have worked together and how their customers have been helped to better their lives.
"Getting a face and story with the program is going to stick with me," he said.

Isaksen Finishes Strong 5th at Kremlin Cup
In an Olympic tune-up event against 23 of the top competitors she will face in London, Margaux Isaksen (Fayetteville, Ark.) showed she is on her way back after battling mononucleosis for much of this year. The 20-year-old two-time Olympian finished an encouraging fifth place on Saturday at the Kremlin Cup modern pentathlon event in Moscow, Russia.
Isaksen finished with a total of 5292 points. She placed fifth in the fencing with 28 wins, 14th in the swim with a time of 2:19.78, had a perfect ride in the equestrian portion of the event, and finished with the sixth-fastest time in the combined run/shoot (12:18.26). Isaksen began the combined event in sixth place and had moved up to third heading into the final lap.
Olympic champion Lena Schoneborn of Germany took first with 5412 points, followed by Hungary's Sarolta Kovacs (5368), Russia's Donata Rimsaite (5232) and Lithuania's Laura Asadauskaite (5308).

As part of my trip to Nigeria, a few days in Lagos was included in the schedule. Lagos is the centre of business in Nigeria and a very hectic city during the day. As if this was not enough reason to visit the city, the Nordic Embassies in Nigeria were also hosting a three-day event called Nordic Days. The event focused on Nordic culture and business, and, as expected, was a great place to network.

Problem: Cracker Crust
June 25, 2005, 06:54:37 PM »
awesome site thanks
i've been making my own pizza's for the past year or so. i like the sauce i've been making, and dag's has a 4 cheese blend which is great. i have a bit of a problem though. for the most part my crusts come out like crackers. am i not stretching the dough out enough? i don't think i'm keeping the pizza in too long nothing burns. any suggestions would be great!

I would help to know what style of pizza dough you have been making (e.g., NY), the recipe you are using, and the procedures you have been following to make the dough.

i think i'm using something close to a ny dough i kind of made it up along the way from trial and error.
1.25 cups of unbleached flour (found it makes a good size single pizza)
.75ish cups of water (from 1 cup warm water with .24 oz of active dry fleischmanns yeast)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablesppon brown sugar
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of rosemary
i then mix it up and knead it in a cuisinart. then a put a little olive oil in a big bowl and surface coat the ball, and cover it with saranwrap and into the fridge for 24 hours (where it is right now). tada 24 hours later i take it out and let it settle to room temperature, flatten it out on the counter, and then stretch the dough out. i have the oven totally cranking the knob says 550, with the stone in there for an hour before i put the pizza in. then when i "think" it's ready i pull it out. and that's pretty much what i do.

I went into my kitchen and weighed all the ingredients used in your recipe, including the rosemary (which I cut fresh from my rosemary bush), and concluded that your recipe cannot work as recited. If you are using 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour and 3/4 to 1 cup water, you will end up with a hydration level that cannot work--it will be like a thick soup. I suspect what you may have been doing but didn't report is that you add more flour to the processor bowl during kneading to get a dough ball that you can handle and work with. If that's the case, then it is not possible to diagnose your problem since we have no way of knowing the actual composition of your dough. I calculate that if you used a total of 1 cup of water, you would need about double the amount of flour you indicated.
Apart from the above, I have some other observations about your recipe. You didn't indicate whether you proofed the ADY in warm water (maybe 1/4 cup?) before adding to the rest of the ingredients, or whether you just threw the ADY into the food processor along with all the other ingredients. If it was the former, then you would get poor fermentation and your dough and crust quality will be subpar.
When I weighed 1 1/4 cup of flour (I scooped the flour from the flour bag using 1 cup and 1/4 cup measuring cups), I got 6.6 ounces. If that was anywhere near correct, then your salt level is at 3% by weight of flour. That's excessive--what I call being in the "danger zone" for the type of pizza dough you are making (above 2.3% salt). Excessive salt will slow down the rate of fermentation because of its effects on the yeast. It will also excessively toughen the gluten. If you used 0.24 ounces of ADY (about one packet), that comes to 3.7% by weight of flour, which is also very high. A typical range of ADY for a NY style dough is 0.25-0.375%. You can go above that, and there are NY style dough recipes that do that, but it's not necessary for a New York style. I calculate that the amount of sugar, at around 5.3% by weight of flour, is also high. As with salt, yeast doesn't like high levels of sugar. In this instance, the amount of sugar is more likely to manifest itself in the form of a rather sweet crust. The amount of olive oil, at 7.5% by weight of flour, is also high. At that level, the crust should be soft and tender, not cracker-like.
I suspect that the excessive readings I am getting from your recipe is because the amount of flour is incorrect for the amount of water you have been using. By doubling the amount of flour, the readings would decline and fall in a more normal range in most, but not all, cases. At double the amount of flour, you would also end up with a total dough ball weight of around 21-23 ounces, depending on the amount of total water used (3/4 vs. 1 c.) That amount of dough would be enough to make a typical 16-inch NY style pizza.
You may want to revisit your recipe to see if you made an error in reporting it or whether you made changes to it that you didn't report. If we can clear that matter up, then we can take a new look at what you have been doing to see if we can put our finger on the problem with the cracker-like crusts you have been getting.

thank you so much for taking that time to help me, i really appreciate it. to answer some of your concerns about my dough. i let .24oz's of yeast proof in 1 cup of warm water, i just don't put the yeast in. i don't add any flour while i'm mixing or kneading the dough, i usually just pour a bit of water in at a time until the dough feels right. i never get a soupy mess and for that 1 1/4ish cup of flour i end up using just a tad less then .75ish of a cup of water. sounds like i need to get a scale and measure things out that way. i never tried any recipe's for the dough, i've just made it to what feels right, so i guess i'm going to lower the salt and lower the sugar, and maybe try it with a bit less water and see what happens.

Thanks for your response.
As you have discovered, using volume measurements is an inaccurate and imprecise process. When I weighed the flour and water called for in your recipe, I used a metal measuring cup for the flour and a glass Pyrex measuring cup for the water. To measure out the flour, I just dipped the measuring cup into the bag of flour and scooped until it looked full and did not shake it, tamp it, force more flour into it, or level the surface of the measuring cup. Doing any of these things could easily change the weight--but not dramatically so. With the water, I just poured water into the Pyrex measuring cup up to the 3/4 c. mark. If you decide to measure your ingredients by weight the next time, I would be interested in seeing what numbers you get. I think you will be surprised.
You didn't indicate what size pizza you made with your recipe. If the ingredient amounts in your recipe are indeed correct, and my weight measurements were correct, I estimate that the dough ball weight from your recipe is a bit over 14 ounces. For a thin size pizza, like a NY style, that amount of dough will make a pizza of a bit over 13 inches. I mention this only because if you tried to make the pizza bigger than that, then you could get a cracker-like crust. I personally think that the problem lies elsewhere, especially if your recipe is as represented, and for the reasons earlier mentioned.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (411 votes).
In short: Urban City HalfIn full: There are loads of things to recommend this race. Great organisation, chip timing, good atmosphere and support, plentiful water stations.However the course is dull, dull, dull. Kirkstall Road was positively treacherous, partcularly for the wheelchair entrants. Such a shame because if it was more imaginatively routed, and the organisers could follow the lead of Nottingham and Liverpool, then it would have the potential to be a great half marathon. Date of review: August 16, 2011
In short: Pah to the hills!In full: Better than last year, although warmer. knocked 12 mins of PB [2hours last year 1:48 this] have not run any other half marathons so only know that this is how it is, yes its hilly at the 1st 7 miles but the rest is ok Date of review: May 13, 2011
In short: The first seven miles are the worst.Date of review: May 13, 2011
In full: It was my first time over this distance and I really enjoyed the whole day. Before the race I was concerned about the hills, but they were not as fearsome as some made out, I ran 01:50 which is about what I expected. Although I do agree that the latter section of the run alongside the traffic could be improved by closing the lane to traffic.There was plenty of water along the route which was needed as it was a warm day, but there was also more water and a sports drink at the finish. I thought that the marshals and the overall organisation of the event on the day was excellent. The goody bag was not that exciting, but that's not why I entered. I'll certainly be back next year.Date of review: May 10, 2011
In short: Tough Race in difficult conditionsIn full: Am still coming to terms with the second half of this race apparently being downhill - it certainly didn't seem that way yesterday as it felt like there were a number of long uphill drags in the (very dull) last 3-4 miles! As for the last half mile - tired legs did not appreciate the uphill finish!Otherwise - liked water in bottles - much needed on a very humid day. Headwind ruined any pb chance for me even though I had kept some in reserve from the two big hills (which are actually ok).I would only do it again if the course was changed to make it more interesting. Thanks though as always to the marshals and volunteers.Date of review: May 9, 2011
In full: Being from Leeds I love doing this race and know the route well. It was a struggle because of the heat and the headwind on Kirkstall Road so no PB for me this year! Reading that others felt the same has helped. Massively improved new start. Being led by the band was great but not quite so early next year, thanks. I agree with others that the goodie bag was poor. If you can't run to a decent t shirt please don't bother- I would rather have had a bar of chocolate instead! And yes, the finish being in the same place as abbey dash in front of the town hall/art gallery would be much better. Also, please sort out the parking instructions! Car park on instructions has been closed for about a year. I had to give several people directions to alternative parking.Thanks to all the marshalls. As always they were helpful, cheerful and motivating. Still enjoyed it though and here's to next year's!Date of review: May 9, 2011
In short: A long way from being a must-do raceIn full: Leeds City Council puts in minimal effort with this race. Other cities have Festivals of running or carnival atmosphere. Leeds has carbon monoxide on unclosed dual carriageways and minimal support. The grudging attitude this city (my home city) has towards running is demonstrated by the lack of road closures (on the ring road and Kirkstall Road), the rubbish goody bag (the same cotton t-shirt for the last 100 years, no banana, chocolate, anything worth keeping, for that entry price?!?), jobsworths in the assembly area (NOT the club volunteers I hasten to add, but the "security") and a finish line uphill (is it beyond the wit of man to put the finish line in front of the Town Hall like the much superior Abbey Dash?). Yes, I'll do it again, but only because I live here; it's not one worth travelling for!Date of review: May 9, 2011
In short: A well organised race in LeedsIn full: Third year of doing this race and those hills get me every time. Didn't help with the weather been humid. Well organised race, plenty of water in nice small bottles, great t shirt & medal, just a shame about the coned off road on the last 3 miles been a bit narrow. Overall a great half marathon.Date of review: May 9, 2011
In short: Testing city half marathon, very busy but fantasticIn full: The hilly parts were long & testing, however there were the downhill sections too. Plenty of water throughout the route and at the finish and in handy sized bottles, however no sports drinks available until after the finish line. Well organised for toilets, baggage store, marshalls etc. Chip timing & text with finish time & placing. Nice t-shirt and medal to finish, goody bag disappointing. Although the heat made parts of this unbearable - which was no fault of the organisers, I would definately do this race againDate of review: May 9, 2011
In short: Humid which didn't help, add to that I had injury problems which didn't help and have clouded my opinion. Good strenuous race for those wanting to challenge themselves.Date of review: May 9, 2011

American Family Association
Smearing The Religious
This is a favorite pastime of many on the left, and libertarians of all stripes. When in it's the nature of busting biblethumpers' chops, I get it. I mean, The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster? That's just funny. As for those who simply question religion, well there is certainly a lot to question. I'm Catholic, a religion with plenty of black marks in its history, some of which rival (if not surpass) the Nazis in sheer disregard for human life and dignity. So, again, I get it. But sometimes the criticism and ribbing is nothing more than outright bigotry, designed to stoke popular hate against those who are religious.
The Huffington Post offers one of those latter critiques in a post entitled "American Family Association: Stone To Death Killer Whale Who Killed Trainer" about the tragedy at SeaWorld:
The American Family Association, a religious right group, is urging that Tillikum (Tilly), the killer whale that killed a trainer at SeaWorld Orlando, be put down, preferably by stoning. Citing Tilly's history of violent altercations, the group is slamming SeaWorld for not listening to Scripture in how to deal with the animal:
Says the ancient civil code of Israel, "When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable." (Exodus 21:28)
However, the group is going further and laying the blame for the trainer's death directly at the feet of Chuck Thompson, the curator in charge of animal behavior, because, according to Scripture,
But, the Scripture soberly warns, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn't kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal. To use the example from Exodus, if your ox kills a second time, "the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death." (Exodus 21:29)
SeaWorld has no plans to execute Tilly.
If you read nothing else other than the HuffPo piece, then the post's title and implications make perfect sense. However, if you read the actual post being ridiculed by HuffPo, you may have a different opinion:
Now there are all kinds of theories as to why the "killer whale" did what it did, to include one which says it was just playing.
That could be, but whatever the reason it was an animal acting like it should. It kills things and eats them. It doesn't moralize about what is or isn't "good" or "evil". It does what it is hard wired to do without thinking about it and certainly without concerning itself with the consequences. It certainly isn't unreasonable to expect such an animal to act like it should.
Hmmm … actually, no. That wasn't from The American Family Association, but instead from our very own Bruce McQuain. Here's the AFA:
According to the Orlando Sentinel, "SeaWorld Orlando has always know that Tillikum…could be a particularly dangerous killer whale…because of his ominous history."
The Sentinel then recounts that Tilly, as he was affectionately known, had killed a trainer back in 1991 in front of spectators at a now defunct aquarium in Victoria, British Columbia.
Then in 1999 he killed a man who sneaked into SeaWorld to swim with the whales and was found the next morning draped dead across Tilly's back. His body had been bit and the killer whale had torn off his swimming trunks after he had died.
What about the term "killer whale" do SeaWorld officials not understand?
You see the difference? McQ honed in with that laser-like focus that only Army Rangers possess on the most salient fact of the matter, i.e. that this was a wild animal known as a killer whale, while the AFA chose the lesser fact of … oh right, the same thing. So, now you know: McQ is a biblethumpin' m'OH-ron.
To be fair to HuffPo, the AFA did cite scriptures as guidance for how people should live their lives when everybody knows they're just for displaying on placards at football games. How silly to think that religious people who believe in the same things as the AFA would look to the word of God as having some wisdom that might imparted.
But it's worse than that. Whether or not you agree with the religious aspect of the advice offered by the AFA, the actual Bible quotes cited in the ridiculed post weren't referenced as literal commands to action, contrary to what HuffPo would have you believe. Instead, they were cited as guidance (there's that word again) in how people should live their lives:
If the counsel of the Judeo-Christian tradition had been followed, Tillikum would have been put out of everyone's misery back in 1991 and would not have had the opportunity to claim two more human lives.
Says the ancient civil code of Israel, "When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable." (Exodus 21:28)
So, your animal kills somebody, your moral responsibility is to put that animal to death. You have no moral culpability in the death, because you didn't know the animal was going to go postal on somebody.
But, the Scripture soberly warns, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn't kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal. To use the example from Exodus, if your ox kills a second time, "the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death." (Exodus 21:29)
If I were the family of Dawn Brancheau, I'd sue the pants off SeaWorld for allowing this killer whale to kill again after they were well aware of its violent history.
I've highlighted that last sentence because, in complete contrast to what HuffPo would have you believe, the AFA author never demanded, nor even suggested, that the killer whale or anyone else should be stoned. Instead, he suggested that the aggrieved party should sue through the civil system — and he's right. There's a doctrine known as the "one bite rule" which, while not exactly what people think it is, does pertain to domesticated wild animals in certain situations. And, in fact, the legal underpinnings hue quite closely to what the Bible scriptures say as far as assigning guilt is concerned:
Restatement [of Torts] § 519 states the general principle for liability, and § 520 provides several evaluative factors. Section 519 provides for strict liability for one "who carries on an abnormally dangerous activity" causing harm to persons or property even if he "has exercised the utmost care to prevent the harm." Section 520 suggests evaluative factors to assist in determining if an activity should be termed abnormally dangerous, and includes (1) the degree of risk of harm; (2) the magnitude of that harm; (3) the inevitability of some risk irrespective of precautionary measures that might be taken; (4) the ordinary or unusual nature of the activity; and (5) the activity's value to the community in comparison to the risk of harm created by its presence.
In short, when a known dangerous animal is mixed with humans in that animal's natural environment, there is a pretty good chance that the owner of that animal will bear blame for any harm that befalls another party, without any excuse (that is, with "strict liability").
Of course, I don't mean to say that the tragic death of the animal trainer was unequivocally the fault of SeaWorld or anyone else. There are plenty of legal doctrines ("assumption of risk" comes to mind) that could exonerate the owners of Tilly, despite the Restatement of Torts passage above. The point is that what the AFA suggests — that the animal should have been put down after it demonstrated it was not entirely domesticable — using scriptures as its guidance, shouldn't strike anyone as particularly strange or outlandish. The common law quite agrees with that verdict. Indeed, if evidence were produced that the slain trainer was never made aware of Tilly's violent tendencies, then the common law might very well find that SeaWorld is legally culpable for the death to the tune of several millions of dollars.
Getting back to the point, what the AFA argues is not that anyone (other than the killer whale) should be put to death, but that Biblical scriptures provide common-sense guidance (again with that word!) as to how to peaceably conduct ourselves as a community of mankind; the emphasis being on "common sense." No one other than HuffPo claims that stoning is the appropriate penalty, or that the owners of Tilly should be killed, contrary to what HuffPo would have you believe. At most, the AFA author contends that SeaWorld should have used the Bible's counsel when it comes to protecting human life from wild animal aggression, and that the victim's family should avail itself of the civil court system for SeaWorld's failure to do so. One can disagree with that presumption, but it's pretty difficult to argue that anyone other than SeaWorld (or whomever) would have been better off for not disposing of the killer whale after the first death. Whether anyone is guilty in the eyes of God for that failure is not for us to decide, but it's certainly not delusional to think that a mortal judge may arrive at such a decision.
Whatever problems one might have with religion, I just don't see the utility in deriding people of faith for suggesting that their tenets have practical advice to offer. That goes double for harangues that have no basis in reality. With just a little bit of investigation, one would find that most religious texts offer an enormous amount of practical advice of the type that even the non-religious take for granted. There's lots of goofy stuff in there as well, including prescriptions that shouldn't be taken literally in this day and age, but that doesn't mean the principles aren't sound. When someone of a religious persuasion offers advice pertaining to those common-sense principles, and counsels adherence to those principles, then no fair critic would claim that such person is instead calling for a literal interpretation of ancient penalties. But then, HuffPo isn't striving for fairness, but for bigotry.

As you probably know, 6 IN 1 is very popular with a lot of members, especially the Chicago folks, so you'll probably be seeing a lot of 6 IN 1 love here before long.
I'd like to know more about these steel plates you speak of. Currently I've been using Pampered Chef (only because I got them for free for hosting a party) in my Thermador professional series double wall ovens. We remodeled our kitchen last year. Does this qualify as the "right oven"?
Where do I get this steel?
Unfortunately the smelly old ShopRite did not have the Sclafani tomatoes, but I got these to try for my Sicilian tonight.
Their customer retention rate is exceptional. Escalon used to be family owned, as is Stanislaus, but after it was acquired by Heinz in 1991, Escalon perhaps became more corporate and not as close to its customer base as it once was. With the recent takeover of Heinz by Warren Buffet and other investors, it will be interesting to see if the buyout will affect the Escalon products.
Do you keep your steel plate(s) in your oven permanently or do you only use for pizza/bread baking? What is the other item above your plate? Looks interesting...
Sounds good, Mary Ann. You're going to love the Sclafanis. Just make sure they're the NJ Sclafanis and not the CT ones (the NJ are in the first photo).
Is this your oven?http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/PODC302J.htmlIf so, there's a good chance you can hit Neapolitan bake times with this oven. That broiler looks really promising. 60-90 second leoparding, on the top, should be viable. Matching that on the undercrust could be the tricky part. It depends on how hot the oven will go. What's the max temp on the bake setting? Can the oven be calibrated higher?1/2" steel plate, with the right flour, cheese and sclafanis, will give you the best NY style pizza you've ever had- no question. That oven is begging for it On the other hand, if you can pre-heat the entire hearth to 550... combined with the broiler at full strength, you might be able to do 60-90 second Neapolitan bakes with 1/2" aluminum plate- and you also might be able to do great NY bakes with aluminum- although, right now, I think, for NY, 1/2" steel is still a bit more proven.If you want the best NY style and best Neapolitan that that oven can do, I'd suggest sourcing 1/2" steel and 1/2" aluminum. I would start off with steel, though, since the results with that, as long as you can hit 550, are guaranteed.
I just wanted thank you for providing a photo.

PETALUMA, Calif. – CamelBak today announced its "Ditch Disposable 30-Day Pledge" – to spread awareness of the benefits of using a reusable water bottle and encourage consumers to change their hydration habits, and promote sharing of this message during a period of high receptiveness to sustainable messaging.
"We hope to help consumers create hydration habits that are healthy for them and healthy for the planet," said CamelBak CMO Chris Strain. By going 'disposable-free' for 30 days, pledgers will save an average of 18 bottles from entering landfills; if all Americans took the pledge we could eliminate 5.5 million of these plastic bottles within a 30-day period.*
This pledge also saves consumers money – bottled water can cost up to 500 times the cost of tap water. That adds up to about $300 a year for most Americans. And best of all, studies show that CamelBak bottles encourage their owners to drink 24% more water than with a disposable bottle–delivering all the improved health, mood and cognitive benefits of regular hydration.**
Just in time for Earth Day, CamelBak invites customers, business partners and fans to take the pledge and share it with others. The CamelBak Ditch Disposable campaign will begin in April and include aggressive use of digital and social media, offering prizes for the active participants in the campaign.
Join CamelBak at www.camelbak.com to (find out how your organization can participate in this exciting campaign) visit the CamelBak Ditch Disposable Pledge page to pledge and share.
* The average American consumes an average of 215 bottles per year, at an average cost of $1.35/bottle. http://www.statisticbrain.com/bottled-water-statistics/

"It is an honor to receive this award," Roger B.
Kelley, NYPA president and chief executive officer said. "The safety
of NYPA employees is a top priority and this award reflects our
commitment to safe operating practices."
Terry Huval, chairman of the APPA board of
directors, presented the award to Edward Smith, senior industrial
hygiene occupational health specialist, NYPA, during the
Association's annual Engineering and Operations Technical
Conference, in Indianapolis earlier this month.
"Implementing safe utility practices requires the
commitment and hard work of the entire utility," said Huval. "This
collaborative effort to ensure the safety of employees is well
demonstrated by these recognized utilities."
NYPA and 200 other utilities were judged in
categories according to the number of work-related reportable
injuries or illnesses and the number of worker-hours during the last
year, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). Since 1998, NYPA has placed first seven times
and second three times in its category.

My daughters gift
By MNErin
from Fridley, MN
My mother in law got this set as a gift for my daughter in law. It seems nice I am a big fan of this brand. The only thing that disappointed me was the fake food that came with it, aside from the egg the rest of it seemed really cheaply made. Since this company makes the awesome new sprouts line I was confused why the fake food was dollar store quality but the pans themselves are decent the utensils bend easily and are kind of thin plastic. It's a nice enough toy, I definitely prefer the new sprouts line though!

Let's Get Cooking!
By Melissa @ Mommy Living the Life of Riley
from Houston, TX
Riley had such a great time playing with all of the professional-looking cooking tools included in the Learning Resources Pretend & Play Pro Chef Set. She spent hours playing "kitchen" and preparing plenty of yummy treats for both her father and I to eat. I loved how her imagination and creativity were really stimulated by this toy, and especially how easy this set was to integrate in with her other toys, such as a play food set and pretend kitchen setup.If you're shopping for a special little boy or girl who would like to help more in the kitchen, but are still too young to do so, then by all means, let them imitate you with the help of the Learning Resources Pretend & Play Pro Chef Set.

My Girls LOVE this set!!
By BabyGearToday
from sacramento, CA
I had the chance to review this set at [@]- My girls are so in love with this set- It seems like every time my girls little friends come over- that is the first place they head- straight for their kitchen!! My girls are always in their play kitchen cooking up pretend meals. Until just recently, they had to be pretty creative with their "utensils"- a block for a pot and a mitten for a pot holder- I actually enjoy seeing how creative their imagination is! But since we have received The Pretend and Play Pro Chef Set- no need for the blocks and mittens anymore, this fabulous little set has everything they need to cook up some pretty spectacular meals!!My girls love to make my husband and I meals in their kitchen, even when we have a tea party, there is always chicken involved somehow! This awesome set comes with a stockpot, saucepan, 2 lids, skillet, spatula, wooden spoon, oven mitt, chicken leg, corncob, carrot, fried egg, and activity guide that my girls swear is a cookbook : ) The activity book is great because it teaches the little ones how to make good food choices- my daughter thought the cupcake was a "good" food choice -so funny!! And they can make their own menu for the day and wipe clean for a new one! I love that as well because it encourages my girls to learn to spell what they are making- a great idea. My oldest daughter used to love helping me make our grocery lists- she actually was pretty good, at 4 she could spell milk and eggs, I though that was pretty awesome- so this is perfect for her!! I absolutely love this set- it is so lifelike and very sturdy- perfect for my rough little ones!!
Must have for play kitchens!
By Cher@MomandMore
from Chicago, IL
This set is great because the items are big and kids can actually use them. I have a set of pots and pans that came with the play kitchen we bought but they barely fit one piece of food. These items are big and are more adult-like! As you can see in my picture below, I fit four pieces of food in the one pot and had room to spare! It is neat too that they have lids and the utensils are also longer and easier to use for small hands. Oh and the oven mitt is adorable! If you have a child who likes their play kitchen, this set is a must because the items are big enough to really play. I will add though that the plastic they are made of is not as durable as I'd like and while we haven't broken anything yet I am a little worried. I'd still recommend this set though!The Activity Book is really cute, although its just six pages. It is a dry erase book with activities simple for small kids such as a maze, draw your favorite meal, counting fun, pick healthy foods, pick foods that don't belong and pick the different sized food item. My 4 year old really liked the book!

Fantastic Playtime Favorite for Children
By My 3 Little Kittens
from Lethbridge, AB
I was given the wonderful opportunity to review this product on my site - My3LittleKittens.com. I chose to review this particular set because my children love to pretend they are cooking. When the package arrived, they were so excited to be able to cook in their own cooking set. My Son loved playing with the Activity Guide and choosing what he was going to have on his menu. My Daughter cooked her own egg and used extra pretend food that she already has to cook several different types of dishes. To add to the fun, my Daughter then gave each of the cats something she had "cooked" for them to enjoy. I have to admit it was beyond adorable.Learning Resources has so many wonderful and child-friendly products for all ages. Best of all, since the holiday season is here, their products make the perfect gift because they not only offer hours of fun, but they also encourage learning and imaginative play, which is priceless.
