Norma,Since we could not find anything in the V&N video to suggest docking, and when I could not find anything about docking at V&N's when I did extensive Google searches, I did not use docking either.Peter
How did you find the handling of the sticky dough skin when you rolled it out? Mine stuck to the rolling pin, even before I rolled it up onto the rolling pin and even when I sprinkled a good deal of flour onto the pin. And how did you handle the skin? Did you roll it out onto a peel or what? Did you put semolina on the peel prior to rolling it out? (I put a little corn meal onto my pans) Or how did you get it onto the peel with it being so difficult to handle (or was it?). I found this part the toughest, but sense it wasn't so with you but am not too clear on that part of the process that you went thru.
I didn't have any problems rolling it out on my counter top and once rolled to the desired size I carefully lifted and placed the skin on the semolina covered peel for topping. No release problem either . . .
After getting the soft dough skin into my cutter pan -- which had always been great in making me a delicious, crispy thin crust pizza -- I pressed the dough skin into a fairly good circular shape, patched up a bit, put on the sauce and some really small pieces of sausage (as I expected a shorter time for baking a really thin crust), added the cheese and spices (strove to put on a little less cheese), and baked the pizza on the absolute bottom rack (remember in my electric home oven there is no apparent heating elements), and baked for exactly 12 minutes (turning 180 degrees once) at 475 degrees F. The result to me and my son was much different from an earlier experience above. It was really good. Semi-crisp and the crust was pretty tasty. Most of the pieces, as you'll see, were not floppy and limp as occurs with a lot of other recipes. As Loo indicated earlier, this is one fine thin recipe. There are some unanswered questions to me on the use of milk in the crust formulation, but this one worked well for me today. While just a small pizza, it was totally consumed in less than 6 minutes I think. --BTB
Norma, the pizza looked very good. Do you not have any stickiness issue? And can you easily move the dough skin from the bench to the peel without difficulty? I wonder for those who may like a little browner crust whether a little sugar or whey would be good in the formulation. --BTB
I used just a smidgen of sugar (1/8th tsp) and thought it helped. Next time I think I'll try a smidgen more. I don't have any good pictures of the crust, but here are a few pictures from another site taken at V & N's pizzeria that may give a little better idea. --BTB
Norma,When I made my V&N test clone dough, I had enough dough to make two pizzas, a 14" pizza and a second one that turned out to be about 9". When I calculated the thickness factors based on the weights of the two skins, they were just about the same, and were what I used in coming up with the modified V&N clone dough formulation (I actually lowered the value to compensate for the bench flour that would be needed). The 14" pizza baked up with a bottom crust that looked pretty like the one shown by BTB. The other pizza, which was baked up after I had let the dough rest for a while to recover from my handling, had a bottom crust color that was like the last pizza you showed. However, I could tell that the dough for the second pizza was super soft and pretty well fermented. That might have explained the reduced crust coloration. You and I are like the blind leading the blind since neither of us has had a real V&N pizza and neither of us knows how long to bake our clone versions to get the desired combination of crust texture and bottom crust coloration. As matters turned out, I enjoyed my V&N clone pizzas but I can't say that I was overwhelmed. However, since I rarely eat more than a few slices of any pizza, I had some leftovers. When I reheated the leftover pieces (with the family cut), I really enjoyed those. Whereas the original crust was firm and chewy with a bit of cracker texture, the crust for the reheated pieces was still chewy but with some softness. That is perhaps not what the crust should have been but at least I liked it. Under the circumstances, and until we get better or more information, using some sugar in the dough might help compensate for the differences between our standard home ovens and the V&N deck ovens. Another possibility might be to reduce the amount of yeast so as to curb its ravenous appetite for sugar that we would prefer remain to contribute to final crust coloration. Peter

Rated 4 out of 5�by Blondiedavie Run small I don't have particularly large hands, but the mediums are a little tighter than I expected. So I guess they run a little small. But haven't had them long enough to have much more feedback than that. January 12, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by gasgal fits small good quality, seems like it will last a while. The gloves do run small. Feels extremely tight around the fingers. Hope it stretches out a bit October 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by erina1 Does the job I actually bought these for training on monkey bars for an obstacle event. They are good quality material and have decent padding. Even with the gloves, the monkey bars still hurt my hands the first few times, but now my hands are toughening up a bit and it's getting easier. I have petite wrists and hands, and thin fingers. I wasn't sure what size to order, so I went with the Medium. They are a bit too large, but still work fine. I wish I'd ordered both the small and medium and kept whichever one fit best. September 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jaynie Seem to run small Medium gloves usually fit me when the fingers are open. These were so tight, it was all I could do to get the on and off. I ended up selling them to one of my training clients and will use that money to purchase these in the Large size. No hard feelings. Just the chance you take when ordering online. April 6, 2014

Welcome back to another week of Allergy Free Wednesdays!
A week of yumminess that is aimed at making it easier for you to create healthy, allergy free foods for you and your family.
As I mentioned, this past week, there is no "clear rule" against including processed ingredients in your submission (but we hope you are moving in that direction :-)). So…occasionally you will find some "whole foodie undesirables" in the entries.
What to do if you see processed foods and don't want them?:
- White or brown sugar? Sub in sucanat, or honey or an acceptable sugar free sweetener. Get help subbing in my post on Substituting Sweeteners in Baking and Cooking
- Chocolate Chips? Sub in my Homemade Chocolate / Carob Chips (new & improved version coming soon!)
- Others? Don't think you'll find many, but ask away if need be. (I see an entry this week for a cake that looks incredible but uses PB cups – I have a great healthy sub for that – Healthy "Almost Reese's!"
So—-welcome to Allergy-Free Wednesdays (AFW). AFW is a weekly blog hop where folks can share their allergy-free cuisine, gain knowledge about allergy-related topics/issues, and connect with others living or caring for someone with food allergies.

Crime doesn't take a holiday
The Michigan State Police Gladstone Post reminds holiday shoppers that following a few safety precautions can help this season remain fun for all.
"A primary factor in crime prevention is being aware of your surroundings and potential areas of danger," stated Trooper Dale Hongisto of the Gladstone Post. "By staying alert and following a few safety tips, most holiday crimes can be avoided."
Mall shopping safety tips:
– Avoid shopping alone. Use the buddy system whenever possible.
– Park in well-lit, well-trafficked areas. Always lock your vehicle and put away any valuables.
– Have your keys in hand before exiting the shopping area and returning to your vehicle.
– Do not keep packages in plain view in your vehicle; keep packages in the trunk of your car or covered by a blanket.
– Be alert, pay attention to your surroundings and move with a purpose; don't dally.
– Carry your purse close to your body. If at all possible, do not bring a purse. Keep your wallet in a front or zipped pocket.
– Do not carry large amounts of cash. Bring just one credit or debit card.
– Do not count cash in open areas, especially after leaving an ATM machine.
– Remain vigilant of your environment by paying close attention to where you are and knowing what you would do if something happened.
– Remember where you are located within buildings and where the nearest emergency exit is.
– If you see something suspicious, immediately notify law enforcement.
Online shopping safety tips:
– Shop only on Internet sites of companies you know and trust.
– Only use secure Web sites. To determine if a web site is secure, look for a key or closed padlock at the bottom browser window and a URL that begins with "https," not just "http."
– Protect your personal information. Read the retailer's Web site privacy policy and never provide your Social Security number, birth date or mother's maiden name.
– Ensure your computer has the latest anti-virus software installed before shopping online.
– Beware of E-mails offering cut-rate prices on popular items; if the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Skip to comments.Word for the Day, Monday February 25, 2013-- calumny
Posted on 02/25/2013 5:27:50 AM PST by xsmommy
Word For The Day, Monday, 2/25/13
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
calumny; noun
1. a false and malicious statement designed to injure the reputation of someone or something: The speech was considered a calumny of the administration. 2. the act of uttering calumnies; slander; defamation
Etymology: mid-15c., from M.Fr. calomnie (15c.), from L. calumnia "trickery, subterfuge, misrepresentation, malicious charge," from calvi "to trick, deceive," from PIE base *kel-, *kol- "to deceive, confuse" (cf. Gk. kelein "to bewitch, seduce, beguile," Goth. holon "to deceive," O.N. hol "praise, flattery," O.E.
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Expect calumnies to rain forth on Bob Woodward, as he dares speak ill of the Anointed one.
Review Threads:
Review Thread One: Word For The Day, Thursday 11/14/02: Raffish (Be SURE to check out posts #92 and #111 on this thread!)
Review Thread Two: Word For The Day, Tuesday 1/14/03: Roister
Review Thread Three: Word For The Day, Tuesday 1/28/03: Obdurate
No pushing at the door please!
Obama is one big walking calumny. There did I do it right?
Calulmnies on any "journalist" who dare write ill of the retiring Pope and the upcoming conclave in Rome.
Hmmm... every time Woodward starts digging presidents get nervous...seems back in the 70's he did quite a bit of damage to one president's reputation...hopefully we'll get an encore performance unless 0 decides it's his turn to be put up against the death panels when he needs medical treatment...
Rescind #3. I'm here, just not awake.
Thewon's campaign against Mitt Romney was one massive calumny. We were denied and hones, decent president who cared about us. Instead, we got one who cares about himself. Sad.
#3 should have said "Fie on any journalist who writes calumnies against the Holy Father (Benny 16) and the upcoming conclave."
look alive, you deadbeats, and get to class : )
My homework, such as it is, was in before the ping. #WhoYouCallingADeadbeat?
OMGosh.......MO crashed the Oscars....does she fancy herself a starlet? Nothing like trivializing yourself like that. RME I quit watching years ago, but I guess thewon's fans still watch...those low info voters.
My ping didn't come through but I knew where to find y'all. No school today because they were planning a sheriff's manhunt for a guy who shot at his wife and child Saturday night and he is an employee of the school district maintenance staff. While I applaud the effort to be cautious, they caught him at 10 pm and could have changed the order and said schools would be open but they said it was too late to call us. This, from the same people who call us at 5 am for snow days.
I love FR, but according to the cal;imny of the left, it is a "hate site".
cal;imny = calumny
fat fingers this morning. eek.
While looking this up using real electricity I found an ad for the old Calcium Carbide lamps, Cal. Luminosity, not quite the same but close enough for homework.
Then it could be Cal. to NY. Not real close but both have the right cogitation and are closer than Cal Coolige who really was cool 'cause they put his initials on my e-mail, cc.
Obama, the master of calumny
The best since Boss Tweed, late of Tammany
But the sheeple love portions
Of lies and distortions
Along with the free phones and pageantry
I just put the book "Coolidge" on hold at the library after reading a review.
"shot at" ....I hope he missed. How horrific. This man was with children all day? Scary.
Give a shout when you've read some of it. Cal is probably unappreciated.
...or should that be spelt with an 'i'?
A+++ you certainly did, welcome to WFTD!
oh i hear you and agree 100%. A+++
DH stayed up till late last night listening to the scanner....there was a robbery last night at the local Best Buy distribution center....right behind it is where I take my car for repairs....they ran out the back and into the wooded areas in the freezing cold last night. County cops brought in a dog to search for them...they got the last one this morning when he came out cold and hungry. All under arrest. A van filled with lap tops was recovered. Crooks were foiled. First time someone hit the place that I have heard of.
meant to ping you.
i am hoping that Woodward is oldschool enough to have the courage of his convictions such that he will stay on this and dig it out.
A+++ now that is something different, the Barber of Seville in Italian with Russian subtitles!
good one! A++++
A+++ yeah bc we hate liberalism/socialism!
I took the six year old Tobbe to breakfast this morning before putting him on the bus. Our waitress was the mother of one of his friends. She gave him extra bacon, his favorite. He was so excited. On the way out there were two older couples in a booth, one of the ladies stopped us and asked if she could give something to him, she gave him one of the new dollar president coins. He was excited as he had just started collecting them. I am still smiling at how excited he was about his morning treat. The timing was perfect, we got back as the bus was pulling up the hill.
so our Catholic governor is expanding abortion rights? WHY isn't he excommunicated yet?
Will little Lukie Ravenstahl survive this police scandal? The police chief has already resigned.
That is a sweet story but I have missed who Tobbe is.....what a fun morning for him though!
Is there anyone, anywhere in a position of power that is NOT corrupt? sheesh
I used today's word in a tweet to axelrod. Came in handy.
He's a neighbor boy that I put on the bus in the mornings. I tutor his brother after school.
what a fun morning! please tell me that they didn't spell that kid's name in that odd way? why do people look for oddball things to name their kids???
The other kid is named "Not Tobee."
thanks, i am bawling at my desk, but sent it out to everyone in my family. what a beautiful story.
looks like he may have some trouble with that bit there.
oh, yeah, it's spelled that way. it's his mother's maiden name.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Looking on the Bright Side
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- This market spends too much time worrying about what could go wrong and not enough time reflecting on what didn't go wrong, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Wednesday after a see-saw day on Wall Street.
Cramer said the market has been brimming with worries this year, but surprisingly, none of them came true.
Cramer said today's announcement that General Motors (GM) is buying $5.5 billion worth of its shares from the U.S. Treasury is one such example. He said just a few years ago everyone was worried GM would be out of business and sending one million workers home. But today, the company managed to find $5.5 billion to repay a large chunk of its bailout, albeit at a loss for taxpayers, and make itself whole again.
The markets tend to ignore the fact that the U.S. is producing more oil than it has in 17 years, noted Cramer, paving the way for continental energy independence and hopefully eventually, U.S. energy independence. The markets also gloss over the fact that corporate balance sheets are flush with cash and the U.S. consumer is spending again.
We entered 2012 worried about Europe, Cramer reminded viewers, but the European "kick the can" strategy is working, giving those countries time to work out their problems. Meanwhile China, another big market worry, is also on the road to recovery.
Whether it was "shadow inventory" in the housing market or expected corporate bankruptcies, a whole host of potential worries never materialized, said Cramer, leaving us with at least a glimmer of hope that a fiscal cliff induced market collapse probably won't either.
An Underperformer
Over the past year, Cramer's focused a lot on companies that are breaking themselves up in order to unlock value. In fact, he's featured 13 such stories, from Kraft Foods (KFT) to Covidian (COV) to McGraw-Hill (MHP) .
Out of those 13 there's only been one that's underperformed the markets -- Hillshire Brands (HSH) .
Cramer said Hillshire shares have fallen 1% since its spinoff from Sara Lee (SLE) , during a time when the markets have risen 3%. He said the story at Hillshire is not a bad one, but clearly the company will require more time to execute its turnaround than he initially anticipated.
Hillshire, which owns such iconic brands like Jimmy Dean and Ball Park Franks, is reinvesting in its businesses in order to drive future costs, said Cramer, and is working on everything from cutting costs to innovating with new products and more appealing packaging. The company is also selling non-core assets in order to focus its efforts on just a few key areas.

Commentary on
Implications for practice and research
Women with a history of hypertensive pregnancy disorders may have an elevated risk of future chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Follow-up of renal function and proteinuria after pre-eclamptic pregnancies could facilitate early detection and intervention of renal disease.
To date, case–control and registry-based cohort studies have suggested that women with histories of hypertensive pregnancy disorders and pre-eclampsia in particular, are at risk for future cardiovascular disease (CVD).1 ,2 Limited data have suggested that women with pre-eclampsia are at risk for microalbuminuria,3 CKD and ESRD years after their affected pregnancies.4 The limitations of the available evidence …

Kinds of Tags
There are two kinds of tags...
- Next version base tags, which have an "r" suffix. Example, "1.8.0r".
- Final, shipped release tags. Example, "1.8.0".
Applying the Tags
How and when do we use those kinds of tags?
Let's follow an example, where we're working towards shipping 1.8.0, then we ship 1.8.0, and then we start working on the next release of 1.8.1...
- When we start working on a new release like 1.8.0, across its relevant components, we tag one of its commits (ideally, the first new commit meant for 1.8.0) with a next version base tag. In this case, we tag with "1.8.0r".
- If there's no commits yet for a component for 1.8.0, perhaps because the component is rather stable and slowly changing, we can choose to either make a trivial change/commit, or just not tag the component with "1.8.0r" until later.
- Builds during the development cycle will look like 1.8.0r-57-g238485a. That is, "$(TAG)
- The GIT_CHANGE_NUM increments with each build.
- The GIT_UNIQUE_HASH uniquely identifies the build.
- We eventually release and ship the final, blessed version, such as 1.8.0r-117-g43211234.
- After shipping, we tag 1.8.0's relevant components with the final, shipped release tag of "1.8.0" for the historical record.
- Next, we start working towards shipping 1.8.1 and repeat the cycle.
- That is, new commits meant for 1.8.1 are created by developers and submitted.
- We tag one of those new commits meant for 1.8.1 with a next version base tag. In this case, "1.8.1r".
Use Annotated Tags
Taggers, be sure to use annotated tags (the -a flag when creating a git tag). For example...
git tag -a 1.8.0 -m 1.8.0 git push --tags origin
What and What Not To Tag
The set of component repositories that need tagging in a release are listed in the release-specific manifest XML files: https://github.com/membase/manifest
However, some components have their own versioning "namespace" and are often coming from pre-existing open-source community projects; and we do not tag them during our product releases. These include....
- couchdb
- memcached
- memcachetest
- libmemcached
- sigar
Other external dependencies, such as those listed in the external/override XML files, (obviously) also should not be tagged during our product releases. These include...
- otp
- icu4c
- spidermonkey
- libevent
- curl
Release Candidates / Developer Previews
We no longer create tags for release candidates or rc's, or developer previews. Instead, we externally remember that "2.0.0r-21-g12345435" == "2.0.0r dev preview 1".
1.7.2r-20 == 1.7.2 release
1.8.0r-55 == 1.8.0 release

A little about us
We are a team of serious players that enjoy the sport of paintball. We play pump because we believe that it is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences that paintball has to offer. We are primarily based out of Memphis, Tennessee and compete with the best. As a new team we are just emerging from a group of walk-ons and we have no sponsorships but, 2-3 years of experience per player. If you are looking for a hand-out you will have to look elsewhere. We pay for all of our own gear and drive ourselves. Our code of ethics is strict when it comes to cheating so if you are a wiper you will be next to the gentleman/ lady who is asking about sponsorships. We encourage everyone to play with us and help us build a formidable team.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Patents
Patent reform suffered a massive setback today when Senator Patrick Leahy, as chair of the Judiciary Committee, announced that he is taking patent reform "off the agenda." We understand that other senators—particularly Sens. Chuck Schumer and John Cornyn—were still working hard to reach a bipartisan deal. Just as they were ready to release a new bill, Leahy stepped in to kill the process.
It's always a pleasure when anything patent-related enters the mainstream. Recently, Stephen Colbert took on the absurd inventions that companies attempt to patent.
In this case, the host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report lampoons Amazon's new patent on a method of photography in front of a white background.
For the past two years, EFF has been pushing Congress to pass legislation to rein in patent trolls. Starting with the introduction of the Shield Act in 2012, momentum has built for patent reform. And we saw dramatic results in December of last year when the House overwhelmingly passed the Innovation Act. Since then, the ball has been in the Senate's court. But weeks and months have gone by without a comparable bill being introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Supreme Court heard oral argument today in another patent case, Limelight Networks, Inc. v. Akamai Technologies, Inc. In this case, the Court considers what to do when one party performs some steps of a patented method and another party performs the remaining steps. Specifically, Akamai wants to hold Limelight liable for patent infringement even though its customers perform one of the steps of the patent (i.e. four steps are performed by Limelight, one by the customers). The Federal Circuit had ruled for Akamai and effectively held Limelight responsible for the actions of its customers.
Patent reform language floated around the Hill last week while Congress was on recess. A recent draft included a retroactive effective date of April 24, 2014. While final phrasing for the upcoming Senate patent bill isn't known, rumors of this start date were enough to spur action: on Wednesday, April 23—a day before reforms would presumably come into effect—trolls filed a total of 184 lawsuits against businesses big and small.
Clearly, the proposed reforms have patent trolls shaking in their boots.

An interview with Pittsford Village Mayor Bob Corby
Recently I had an opportunity to speak with Pittsford Village Mayor Bob Corby about the early days of Pittsford Village, the state of the Village today and what's to come.
Donna: Mayor Corby, can you identify a few salient moments, in the establishment of the Village?
Mayor Corby: Pittsford Village was established because the state constructed Monroe Avenue in 1805. Pittsford's original hamlet was established at the Milepost, located a mile south of the present Village Four Corners. Development migrated north after the state built Monroe Avenue. Inns, taverns, and stores were established where the new road crossed the main road from Rochester to Canandaigua, forming the core of the present Village. Pittsford's business district retains a number of early nineteenth-century buildings. The landmark Federal-style Phoenix Hotel is one example.
The Village boomed for a few years after the Erie Canal opened in 1822. Eventually Rochester's superior water power eclipsed Pittsford and the Village grew slowly over the next seventy-five years. When it became practical to commute from the Village to Rochester, growth resumed. In 1902, a trolley station was located at what is now the Pittsford Pub.
Donna: How has Pittsford retained its historic feel?
Mayor Corby: Preservation started early here. Good stewardship and care is well-established in this community.
The Village has tried to be a good steward with our modest but important natural areas. We supported the Town's purchase of development rights to protect the one farm remaining within our boundaries. The entire Village was designated as a local historic district in 1971. Green thinking, good planning and historic preservation go together.
Donna: Other significant features that shaped Pittsford Village?
Mayor Corby: The Erie Canal was a unique feature that wrapped around the core of the Village. There were three alignments of the Canal. As the Canal moved, it crossed State Street near the Pittsford Library. It was widened in the 1850's and then again in 1911-1912. In the 1860's, a series of estates were developed—three in the Village– including Pittsford Farms (Now Pittsford Farms Dairy), Hylgarth (now Stonegate Lane, house faces Sutherland Street) and the Lomb House (old administration building at Sutherland High School).
Donna: Any unique historical aspects of the Village today?
Mayor Corby: Schoen Place is the best warehouse/mill preserved district along the entire length of the Erie Canal.
Donna: Can you tell me about green initiatives in the Village of Pittsford?
Mayor Corby: Pittsford Village is first and foremost a village. We protect the characteristics that make it a village. The Village has always been a very "walkable" place. We treat every street like a park.
Donna: How do you treat every street like a park?
Mayor Corby: When opponents said we were planting trees too close to the road, we didn't listen. Today, we have a canopy of trees that provide shade, greenery and clean air. We've installed new street lighting that both illuminates our streets and saves energy.
Donna: Do you have other green initiatives planned for the Village?
Mayor Corby: We are good stewards of our wetlands. When we can, we rezone land to protect green space and habitats. We work cooperatively with the Town to purchase development rights on parcels within the Village that need to be protected. We are always thinking green.
Donna: The housing development proposed for 75 Monroe Avenue looks like it may be going ahead. This project has been controversial with residents and you have expressed concerns about the 167-unit housing complex proposed on the brownfield site of the former Monaco Oil Co. What impact will this project have on the Village and Town of Pittsford and what are your concerns?
Mayor Corby: It's true, I voted against this proposed use of Village and Town land. I am against the scale of this project as it is proposed.
Village and Town residents have been very engaged with the issues surrounding this project. Village Boards have spent hundreds of hours over the last few years reviewing this project and resolving a myriad of complex technical and challenging design issues. Although the special permit allowing the multi-family use was approved, I voted no because I was not satisfied the language in the final resolution was sufficiently precise or clear. Traffic safety and the visual compatibility of this project with the historic character of the Village will remain a primary issue of concern as this application progresses to the Village Planning Board and Architectural and Preservation Board.
The Village hired an environmental engineer to help us understand the environmental issues associated with its brownfield status. The property was polluted by the illegal dumping of heavy asphalts and oil. Approximately 95% of these substances were cleaned up under the supervision of the EPA. The remaining 5% will be removed by the developer with NYS Department of Environmental Conservation supervision.
Donna: Do you have any other concerns about this type of use for this parcel?
Traffic in our already congested Village, of course, is always a concern of mine. To reduce potential traffic and avoid other negative effects of commercial development at this sensitive site, the Village annexed the land, then downzoned it for multi-family residential use.
The project will receive close scrutiny from the Planning Board and Architectural and Preservation Review Board. My hope is that the boards will work with the developer to achieve an outcome that is compatible with the character of the Village so this project becomes an asset to the Village's canal waterfront.
Mayor Corby will celebrate his 20th year as Mayor of the Village of Pittsford in March 2013. I found him to be deeply rooted in Village history and committed to preserving the identity of the Village. A down-to-earth public servant with fresh ideas and a strong commitment to serve. Thanks, Mayor!

Third Point's Loeb Lobs Another Salvo at Yahoo's Thompson
Loeb released another letter today, asking that Thompson be fired following the disclosure that his education background was not what it seemed. "It appears very clear to us -- and to many corporate governance experts, Yahoo employees, and fellow Yahoo shareholders -- that Mr. Thompson's fantasy degree was in no way an 'inadvertent error.' The evidence shows he had been using false credentials for years. Mr. Thompson's 'apology' was clearly insufficient and it seems that the only thing he actually regrets is that he has been caught in a lie and publicly exposed," Loeb wrote in the letter.
This comes just a day after Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo said it was going to form a committee (which is costly) to look into Thompson's background. Yahoo also disclosed that the board member who led the search committee to find Thompson, Patti Hart, would not stand for reelection to the board.
The situation surrounding Yahoo has become a nightmare following Third Point's revelation that Thompson may have lied on his resume. In the past week, shares of Yahoo have fallen 3%, and investors are growing tired of the drama. Eric Jackson, president and co-founder of Ironfire Capital, says Thompson must be ousted at the Silicon Valley Internet company. "He's lost the trust of his people. You can't lead if you have no followers. He's become a sideshow. He must go now," Jackson said to me via Twitter. Jackson owns Yahoo shares.
Discrepancies with Thompson's resume harken back to his days at eBay(EBAY) , where he was president of PayPal. EBay CEO John Donahoe has come out in support of Thompson amid the controversy. "I think Scott Thompson did a great job at PayPal. I think he's a very talented leader, and I believe he can help Yahoo. I hope they get through this and he can continue to do the very challenging job he's got of helping to turn Yahoo around. I'm Scott's biggest fan," Donahoe said to reporters in Tokyo, according to Bloomberg.
It remains to be seen what will ultimately come of Yahoo and Thompson's fate, but the longer the process drags on, the bleaker the story gets. It's not always sunny in Sunnyvale these days, that's for sure.
Yahoo could not be immediately reached for comment.
Shares of Yahoo are lower this morning, off 0.4% to $15.22.

People spend 10 to 30 percent of their household income just for kerosene for light."packs of cigarettes per day to be inhaling the fumes from these kerosene lamps. It's terrible for the environment. Again, studies show that the carbon that comes off of this type of burning has four times more negative impact than previously thought and so the carbon emissions of what is a seemingly small burn are actually very, very negative for the environment. When you replace that with solar, it is cleaner, safer, and less expensive. It's really free energy. All you have to pay for is the mechanism to turn that free energy into useful lighting.
We describe ourselves as the Avon model, with women selling directly to their communities."have the capital to do that. So everything that goes into getting a business going is what we call the business in the bag.
LISTEN: Katherine Lucey describes how the solar lights transformed the life of one woman.
We have seen the technology come down in price and quality — every six months it improves."when they can see. So giving the chickens four more hours of light, they ate more, they were healthier, they laid more eggs, and she became more prosperous because she took the eggs to market and she bought seeds. She bought a goat and a cow, and she eventually developed her farm and it was thriving. People looked up to her as a leader because she had done this, and she established a school where she could teach children. She has a hundred students now. She teaches reading and writing and arithmetic, the standard subjects, but she also teaches sustainable small-plot farming so that they can learn once they leave school how to make a living for themselves.

Google's Bigger Opportunity: Chrome OS, Not Android
1. Android came from nowhere in early 2009 to total domination in smartphone market share today, in almost every country around the world. That's like U.S. military strength from 1941 to 1945.
2. After some early stumbles, Android, in conjunction with its hardware partners such as Samsung and Asus most prominently, have finally started cracking the code on the tablet market with Nexus and other tablets. The market share is still moderate, but it appears to be gaining against the iPad every day.
3. Samsung, Acer and most recently Lenovo (LNVGY) are now stamping out Google PCs based on Chrome OS. While market share is modest overall, there is a breakthrough in the education market, and with the enterprise and consumer markets in sight.
So where does Google go from here? Will it simply continue to grow linearly in these three silos described above?
We have to examine the potential for Google's two operating systems, Android and Chrome OS. Let's start with the first important distinction, touch vs. keyboard.
If you are doing "typing" work, such as typing this article, working on a spreadsheet, creating a presentation or working with multiple browser windows side by side with each other -- or with large and/or multiple displays/monitors -- touch is not the right way to go. You need a keyboard and either a trackpad (laptop) or a mouse (desktop).
A finger simply isn't as precise at grabbing text, editing, pointing and selecting. In addition, your arms will go bonkers constantly reaching forward to a screen. The bigger the display/monitor, and the more of them you are using side by side, the worse the touchscreen scenario becomes.
On the other hand, a touchscreen is the dominant way to use a smartphone. More about the BlackBerry keyboard scenario later.
In between the smartphone and PC scenarios reside the tablets. Some tablets -- say, those smaller than nine or so inches -- will realistically be used in finger mode almost all the time. Larger tablets, such as the large/original iPad and some Windows 8 devices, can also be used in "convertible" mode, with a keyboard that attaches or folds.
What can we gather from this? Let's start with Android.
Android is suitable for almost every kind of smartphone, with or without keyboard, because the screen will most likely be touch-enabled. Android is also suitable for all sorts of tablets, because touch is optimal when it is used in non-keyboard tablet mode.
But what about Android for the PC desktop, where touch is not really necessary? There seems to be no incremental benefit from bringing touch to the PC desktop. As a result, we are not likely to see "traditional" laptops (i.e., those with "normal" fixed laptop form factors) using Android. That's the province of Chrome OS, such as the laptop on which I am now typing this article.

Ready or Not - Page 6
While DNFs are common in ultarunning, did UROC's cash incentive and championship potential entice runners who would not have started otherwise? Perhaps. Many runners were coming off long, brutal seasons. Sharman, for example, had already raced over 900 miles this year. Crosby-Helms was coming off a DNF at the 100K Worlds just two weeks before. Mackey had been sick. Roes had taken a break after a DNF at Europe's Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc and only trained for a couple of weeks before UROC.
Wrote Bryon Powell (a long-time ultrarunner and a contributing editor for Trail Runner) on his website, irunfar.com: "The money could lead folks to: 1) toe the line when they're less certain they're fully prepared for a race; and 2) go out closer to the edge of their capabilities early in a race and just see whether or not they have it that day."
"I felt tired but UROC seemed like an interesting event that I wanted to see first-hand," says Sharman. "The prize money wasn't enough to entice me, but the chance to race the quality field in this format did."
Indeed, curiosity and the chance to take home a little cash may have combined to lure a strong first-year field. Next year could be a different story, as by the time UROC was announced this year, many runners had already committed to their season schedules, while others took a wait-and-see attitude.
Leaving Whetstone, Wardian looked focused, intense, and at Bald Mountain Overlook (mile 49), held a 15-minute lead over Roes. Most of the remaining miles were road, Wardian's specialty, and the consensus of many was that Wardian had it in the bag. At about mile 52, a handful of spectators and photographers gathered at Slacks Overlook, a small parking shrouded by magnificent tall trees and fog, right off the Blue Ridge Parkway, where runners would climb up singletrack, cross the road and drop down to more singletrack on the other side.
"This a great photo op—of the DNFers!" quipped Jones-Wilkins, referring to Mackey, James and Bryant, who had hitched rides with other followers to watch the race's final miles unfold.
"It's better to DNF than DNS," jabbed Roes' long-time friend Andy Swistak of Charlotte, North Carolina, who was helping crew Roes, to Jones-Wilkins.
"Yeah, your name is listed higher on the results," added the photographer Joel Wolpert of West Virginia.
But minutes ticked by, and the levity evaporated. Had Wardian taken a wrong turn?
"He should definitely be here by now," said James. "I wonder if he went left down there."

Perfect for toys, crafts, or models
Next time you need to make wooden pulleys for toys, crafts or models, try this method from Club member James M. Tate of Flint, Texas. Clamp a scrap of wood to serve as a fence behind the drill bit of a drill press. Slide a length of wooden dowel against the stop; then press it to the running drill bit. Slowly turn the dowel until you�ve formed a groove, and then cut the newly formed pulley from the dowel stock. Because of the grain direction, these pulleys should only be used where they won�t undergo stress. Brought to you by: American Profile

Bill enjoyed hunting and making the annual trip to his brother Jack's camp at Hubbard's Marsh to hunt and play cards with the guys. He was an avid Packer and Tiger fan. He also loved the many gatherings and picnics at his camp on Chief Lake. One of Bill's favorite hobbies was woodworking. His quality of work was excellent. He particularly enjoyed making gavels of various wood species and giving them away to family and friends.
Bill attended the First Baptist Church of Witch Lake and until recently, was an active member of the Republic Lions Club.
Survivors include his wife Luana (Mattson) Wixtrom, four children Angela Wixtrom (Andrew Huebner) of Tujunga, CA, Shelli Wixtrom (Scott McMath) of Midland, MI, William S. Wixtrom of Witch Lake and Eric (Shannon) Wixtrom of Republic; 12 grandchildren Crystal and Scarlet Quezada, Dylan and Sonja Anderson, Quinn McMath, and Sylvia, Evelyn, Adam, Thomas, Amelia and twins, Isaac and Caleb Wixtrom; one great grandson Jason Quezada; sisters Marcelle Houlmont, Donna Erickson and Nancy (Fred) Spanton; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Lennard (Marilyn) Mattson, Clifford (Karen) Mattson, Wilfred (Anne) Mattson, Bernice Enderle, Aurelia Matheny, Arleen Wixtrom, and Helen Wixtrom along with many nieces and nephews.

I am new to the world pu-erh. I am looking to buy something to store my cake. I will not ripen. I would like suggestions from friends of the two choices below, what would be best to leave my cake.

Leave your cakes in the wrapper they came in, or, in case they came without, wrap them in an acid free paper. Leave the cakes in a shady corner in the house with mild airflow (no aircon, or direct exposure to fans!) and away from strong smells, such as kitchen smells. Wait at least ten years, and the cakes will be perfect.
Forget about these two containers. They are at best useless, at worst they will destroy the tea.
You live in the possibly best climate for natural Sheng Pu Erh storage.
