I cook on a stone in my home oven, in a wood fired oven, and on a gas grill. The crispest crust I've been able to develop is using the gas grill - the method is to oil one side, and flip that side down onto the grill. Then oil the top side. When the bottom is mostly cooked, flip and immediately load with toppings - cook until the cheese is melted.
...There are a lot of different variables that lead to crispy crust, including your definition of what constitutes crispy. Your crispy might be my crunchy, which is the impression I'm getting so far.

Defined in github.com/google/google-api-go-client/compute/v0.beta/compute-gen.go
Filter sets the optional parameter "filter": Sets a filter expression for filtering listed resources, in the form filter={expression}. Your {expression} must be in the format: field_name comparison_string literal_string.
The field_name is the name of the field you want to compare. Only atomic field types are supported (string, number, boolean). The comparison_string must be either eq (equals) or ne (not equals). The literal_string is the string value to filter to. The literal value must be valid for the type of field you are filtering by (string, number, boolean). For string fields, the literal value is interpreted as a regular expression using RE2 syntax. The literal value must match the entire field.
For example, to filter for instances that do not have a name of example-instance, you would use filter=name ne example-instance.
You can filter on nested fields. For example, you could filter on instances that have set the scheduling.automaticRestart field to true. Use filtering on nested fields to take advantage of labels to organize and search for results based on label values.
To filter on multiple expressions, provide each separate expression within parentheses. For example, (scheduling.automaticRestart eq true) (zone eq us-central1-f). Multiple expressions are treated as AND expressions, meaning that resources must match all expressions to pass the filters.

SCSU Now
NHEC breaks ground
Saturday, March 3, 2012
In a sentence, President Earl H. Potter III summed up the $14.7 million construction project that will remake, by this fall, the 23-year-old hockey arena on the south edge of campus.
"The NHC is now the NHEC," he told a crowd of several hundred at the March 2 groundbreaking ceremony for St. Cloud State's National Hockey and Event Center (NHEC). View the recorded UTVS webcast.
But that name is temporary, Potter added.
University officials are having conversations with suitors about naming rights for the building, which will increase in size by one-third and become a regional events center. See floor plans and more at the NHEC website.
Central to the construction project, which is slated to be substantially complete this fall, is a 50,000 square-foot, four-story glass atrium that will extend south from the current facade to Herb Brooks Way. In addition, 20,000 square-feet will be remodeled.
Chris Coborn, campaign chair, announced that his community-based committee will lead the fundraising effort for an additional $12 million.
In all, university officials project more than $30 million in enhancements to the NHEC, part of a commitment Potter made to redeveloping Fifth Avenue, the main north-south boulevard through campus.
The NHEC is a bookend to the City of St. Cloud's recently completed River's Edge Convention Center. In between are a flurry of redevelopment efforts, including the Coborn Plaza complex completed in 2010. That's the vision put forth by Potter, Mayor Dave Kleis, a St. Cloud State alumnus, and Fifth Avenue Live strategist and developer Brian Schoenborn, also a St. Cloud State alumnus.
The four-story glass atrium will house a main floor lobby and ticketing area adjacent to the main rink. The ground level will include elevators and stairs to the arena's south concourse, as well as areas that recognize project donors and celebrate the men's and women's hockey programs, according to Steve Ludwig, vice president of administrative affairs.
The addition includes two loading docks and a large receiving area. These and other improvements will enable the facility to host concerts, theater productions, trade shows, speakers, conferences, meetings and other sporting events.
That event component will contribute to St. Cloud's growing identity as the key entertainment/convention destination between Fargo and Minneapolis-St. Paul, according to Potter. The expansion also helps maintain the competitiveness of the university's NCAA Division I hockey programs, especially the men's program, which joins the new, high-profile National Collegiate Hockey Conference in 2013.
The southeast corner of the building will feature a new entrance/ticketing area for the Community Rink. Patrons of what used to be called the Practice Rink will have access to a remodeled concession stand and two new restrooms, in addition to the existing restrooms.
The second floor of the addition will include a Husky Athletics team store, two new concessions stands and two new bathrooms. Current bathrooms and concession stands will be demolished to make the south concourse wider, improving foot-traffic flow at games and events.
The addition's third floor, which will not afford a view of the main rink, will include unfinished space for future coaching and arena management offices.
The fourth level will feature about 14 spectator suites with bathrooms and working space for support services. Most of the suites will seat 12 spectators. The suites will improve the acoustical characteristics of the main arena, enhancing sound quality for concerts and other events, said Ludwig.
Architects are JLG Architects, Fargo, and Hagemeister Mack Architects, St. Cloud. Construction manager is Donlar Construction, Waite Park.
St. Cloud State is located 70 miles northwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul along the banks of the Mississippi River. It offers 17,000 students more than 200 undergraduate and graduate programs and an Education for Life.

well hello!
I have for you today a little tutorial on baking
to be honest, making the tutorial (for me) was less about the recipe
(I made it up as I went)
and more about taking the pictures and presenting a clear step-by-step
it's actually based on this book I found at t j maxx a couple months ago
(which, sorry, I just can't find online...)
I loved it instantly because of the way they present the food
and take beautiful, easy-to-follow photos of every step
[I will just write brief words at the bottom in case you want to make it...]
1 cup ground flaxseed
1 cup oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup agave/honey
1 tablespoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups zucchini, grated
mix together the dry ingredients
whisk together the wet ingredients
add wet to dry and stir to combine
add zucchini to dough and stir to combine
grease muffin tins
bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or so
do the dishes while you wait
if you have a really nice camera, I would love to know about it
what are the nice features? how much did it cost? what is it great at photographing?
I'm trying to figure out my lighting, and what cameras do vs. extra supplies for lighting and such.
know anything about this? I'll love you forever

""Corporate executives should be your core business…You need [salespeople who are] comfortable with the kind of boardroom leaders that see Lear Jet as a tool, not a frivolous extravagance for movie stars and their pets. "
Preowned Aircraft Annual Report 2010
We'll remember 2010 as a year when bargain hunters snapped up business aircraft at prices that left some sellers with a sense of disbelief.
The large-cabin segment was among the brightest, particularly for Gulfstreams, as buyers showed favoritism for sub-$20 million GVs, $10 million to $12 million GIV-SPs and sub-$10 million GIVs. The pricing "adjustment"-which is probably too innocuous a word for what really happened to values-was clearly the necessary fix, as evidenced by the substantial number of Gulfstreams that traded hands. A 50-percent discount from 2007 peaks brought buyers back to large-cabin legacy Gulfstreams with a vengeance, while less sizable but clearly attractive price breaks applied to those still in production.
Bargain hunters are definitely out shopping, but some markets are languishing, as sellers have been slow to accept what appears to be the new normal in pricing. Twenty used Learjet 60s sold over the last 12 months, but only about a quarter of these transactions occurred during the past six months. A handful of Learjet 60s selling in the $2 million range ignited a flurry of buying, but those low-price opportunities may now be gone. This may explain the drop-off in transactions to one a month during a recent six-month period, leading to a slight inventory increase from the 2010 low reached in May.
Similarly, either because of competitive factory pricing or because there are just too many good choices of the earlier variant available, there hasn't been a single used Learjet 60XR to sell this year. This is probably about to change as compelling prices are beginning to infiltrate this market and buyers seem ready to pounce.
So, as 2010 ends, we see some market segments showing signs of life while others remain on life support. Considering the economic backdrop the situation appears somewhat improved. Those waiting for the overall market to come back will likely continue to wait while others who heed the examples set by the large-cabin segment will recalibrate their expectations, acquiesce to pricing pressure and put a mark in the sales column.

Skip to comments.The 5 worst Super Bowl commercials of 2013
Posted on 02/04/2013 5:14:26 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
The 49ers only lost by a few points, but these advertisers lost big, ticking off viewers with sexist or unfunny commercials. Watch the worst commercials of this years Super Bowl below. Disagree with our choices?Let us know in the comments.
Go Daddy: This commercial objectifies women and makes fun of unattractive people...
Go Daddy: First impression: Can it be?A Go Daddy ad without bikini-clad babes?...
Doritos: A little girl wants her dad to play with her, but he is about to go hang out with the guys...
Volkswagen: This commercial, released early, has been controversial all week. An average white guys Volkswagen makes him happy so happy that he speaks with a Jamaican accent....
Gildan: After a crazy one-night stand involving fuzzy handcuffs, a dude tries to escape without waking the woman he hooked up with ... except shes wearing his favorite t-shirt, and he needs to find a way to get it off of her...
Bonus: Century 21: Though a few of them aired before the actual game, every single one of the ads that Century 21 prepared for the Super Bowl comes across tone deaf at best, and mean at worst.
(Excerpt) Read more at m.washingtonpost.com ...
I thought the VW ad and both Doritos ads were funny (the one with the goat was funnier)
cars.com was good...
I'm with you, I thought the vw commercial was funny, not insulting or hurtful towards anyone. Yes, the go daddy one was nasty, I speed watching part way into the kiss, second time it came on I went to the kitchen. I thought the t shirt one and the Doritos ones were dumb. I liked the bud voodoo doll one,thought it was on - there's always a fan for the other team just as into it as you are.
This year was terrible compared to past years, nothing really clever.
I watched very little of the superbowl, though I did see the Clydesdale ad. Very good one, but it seems that whenever they pull out the Clydesdales, the ads are good.
none of the funny ads were, well, funny. The best two by far were the Farmer ad (one of the best ever) and the Clydesdale ad, but of course, those were not humor ads, which was sort of odd for the Super Bowl....also odd was the farm theme of those. Look for farmers to be "cool" for a while throughtout the culture now.
Nice to see someone besides Anheuser-Busch can make a memorable, pro-military commercial while keeping their product low-key (Jeep).
So was the halftime show........
Not only are the Go Daddy commercials bad, their company sucks to boot.
C'mon! The best was PSY in the pistachio advert!
Who couldn't help but laugh with PSY lip-synching "Crackin' Gangnam Style" while the chorus in the background sang, "Heeyyyyyyyy, crack your nuts, now!"
The Doritos commercial was funny!
I was eating when the "Go Daddy" kiss commerical came on. Sickening.
I think the internal power outage in the "Energy Efficient" Superdome was rather comical.
I have no love for Beyonce so I skipped the halftime show.
I agree. Was it me, or did the entire sb have a "ghetto" theme this year. Maybe in honor of the departing Ray Lewis.
On the best, a toss up between Dodge Ram "God made farmers" and the Jeep salute to our troops.
Kleenex for both...
Also loved the trainer who came to see his Clydesdale do good. Very heart warming.
Also loved the trainer who came to see his Clydesdale do good. Very heart warming.
The second Go Daddy ad was actually effective in its message, and lacking in sexual crudity (for a change). Can't see that being a "worst" ad. (The first one was easily the bottom of the barrel, however.)
...The best two by far were the Farmer ad (one of the best ever) and the Clydesdale ad...We agree! The rest were disappointments in one way or another. And we watched the strong-man competition (the truck pull) during halftime. Better entertainment! :)
I was dabbling with Twitter about the power outage...lot of funny stuff about it....
The Dodge ad, with Dodge only subtly in the background, using Paul Harvey's talk on "The Farmer" was the best Super Bowl ad ever IMHO.
But I'm biased. It started with God, and went to what is missing so greatly in our nation: character. Willingness to sacrifice, suffer, lay down one's life for family and others, work hard beyond comprehension, and so much more.
Been a Chevy truck guy all my life until they were taken over by Gov. Motors and the Union, a Ford guy since then - and never like Dodges.
But I'm tempted to go get a new one just because of their ad.
But then again - they took the Gov. pill too.....
Kudos to Dodge. It took "Guts" to do that ad.
Doritos Goat, Bud Light - jinxing the chair, and the dateless kid taking his dad's car to the prom & kissing the prom queen.
And the M&M commercial.
the absolute best SB ad:
Ditto. The Clydesdale ad was my favorite this year.
Wife, kids and I had a SB Commercial watching party - we fast forwarded through most of the game and stopped for the commercials.
We didn't mind the VW commercial - we thought that if they played that very often it would quickly become annoying, but it wasn't offensive.
We liked the Doritos commercials - goat and girl/daddy/friends (goat one was best).
We really didn't care for the Century 21 ads - we just didn't think they were that funny. Our 16 year old commented that apparently all those women are Gold Diggers looking for the first opportunity to "off" their husbands for insurance money. Now THAT was funny!
The Farmer ad was awesome! We thought the Jeep commercial was heart-felt, but my wife commented on how far Oprah had fallen that she needed to do a voice-over for a commercial.
The voodoo commercials were pretty good (of course, I am a Miller man, so the product SUCKS), but their commercials are usually funny.
The half-time show SUCKED! It had nothing but partially-naked women shaking their butts at, and thrusting their ho-ha's at, the camera! You could barely hear her sing and I heard more of the back-up singers throughout the whole show that Beyounce! It was very BAD!
No, it wasn't you.
Our entire society has a ghetto theme.
Class and decorum are no longer in style.
Yes, God, and Paul Harvey, and America - and Paul believed in both and everyone knows it. it's like Dodge just stole "baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet" from GM.....
Bumping & grinding...couldn't understand a word that she sang.
Yeah, GM is tainted for me NO MATTER how they market their product.
I thought the two (carbonated flavorless water sold as if it was beer) commercials w/ Stevie Wonder were funny. The oreos in the library commercial was hilarious. Although opinions vary.
Worst year for commercials I've ever seen. The kid kissing the prom queen one was ok.
The commercials were generally so unmemorable that I wondered if they are intentionally trying to start deemphasizing them.
Farmer, Clydesdale, without question. I also liked the Taco old fogy nursing home night out. Funny! But so many of the ads made little sense and used sex to make a point instead of humor. I did like the Doritos dad and his friends, tho.
Why is there always so much destruction? Crashes all over, yet no one hurt. Makes people feel immortal. Not just commercials, but movies too. The Oreo was funny in a way, but only in that the rescuers whispered, too.
Notice most of the WashPost reasons were for politically correct reasons. Not quality of ad. The Godaddy ad was uncomfortable, but not because it objectified women or demeaned nerds. It was the gross up close kissing. That said, it was extremely effective (as usual).
I LOVED the God made a farmer ad for Ram with Paul Harvey
i like the "seniors getting their groove on" Taco Bell ad...
I don't really enjoy ads featuring people who sing about killing American troops
the Dodge truck/farmer ad was soooo not Super Bowl... not a good one...
What about the LONG ad with the two guys sitting in chairs, facing each other? One guy was spewing about raising taxes again, smirking and smarmy and the other guy had brown stuff on his nose...
That was a commercial, right?
Sold my '06 2500HD Duramax Diesel 4x4 LT loaded with everything that I bought when you could get the employee discount for $12k less than I paid for it 5 years later with 60k mis. on it.
Bought a like new '96 F-150 XLT 4x4 with factory off-road package and love it. Only Fords from here on.
BTW, my first 3 cars were Fords....''51 Crestliner, '66 Mustang coupe, new '68 "Bullitt" fastback with 302 4bbl.
The worse one on Oprah and Jeep. She does not believe a word she said.
Thankfully I missed that....I cannot stand the sound of the assclown's voice.
Really? Never heard that.
Stupid feminist whore working for the Wash Post analyzes the commercials through eyes that see everything based on racism and sexism.

Retro Modern Living Space
My client had a fabulous Eliel Saarenin chair buried in her attic that she wanted to restore the chair to it's former glory. We selected a vibrant, lime green fabric representative of mid-century modern textiles, and built a color scheme off of it. We selected soft grays and whites to support the lime green accents throughout. It created a space that is fresh and updated, that refrences mid-century modern design, and makes the chair the star of the show.

New York's Michael Landers Finishes Second on Day 2 of Pan American Classifying Tournament for Youth Olympic Games
San Salvador, El Salvador - The United States boy's table tennis team has one more chance of qualifying for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games at the Pan American Classifying Tournament. Michael Landers (Old Westbury, N.Y.) lost to Rodrigo Tapia of Ecuador, 4-3, in the best-of-seven finals competition.
Landers, who is the youngest athlete to win the U.S. National Championships men's singles title in December, built a 3-1 advantage over Tapia, before dropping the next three games. The 15-year-old American has one more day of competition in hopes of earning the final slot in the Pan American qualifying tournament.
In the first round on Tuesday, Landers defeated Andre Velasquez (Honduras), 3-1. Landers sprung back to his form in the quarter finals with a 4-1 victory over Columbia's Diego Ruiz. Landers blanked Cuba's Hector Sola, 4-0, in the semifinals.
Landers, who plays out of New York's SPiN Club, has a first-round bye on Wednesday and will face the winner of the David Vila (Dominican Republic) vs. Gustavo Gomez (Chile) match in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
No. 1 seed Ariel Hsing (San Jose, Calif.) dominated the girl's competition on Monday to qualify for the Youth Olympics. The American duo is coached by Lily Yip (Warren, N.J.), an elite-level coach for USA Table Tennis.
The Pan American Classifying Tournament, hosted at the Sports Palace, will conclude qualifying its last pair of male and female athletes for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games on Feb. 3. The top three athletes in boy's and girl's divisions will earn the right to represent their respective country this summer in Singapore.
The United States can qualify one boy and one girl to compete at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, Aug. 14-26. Table tennis will be one of 26 events contested at the inaugural multi-sport youth event. The international event will attract at least 5,000 athletes and officials from the 205 National Olympic Committees. The table tennis athletes will be between the ages of 15 and 16. The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games aims to inspire youth around the world to embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect.

Chipotle and Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Double Cilantro
(Makes 4 servings but can easily be doubled, recipe adapted slightly from Simply Delicioso by Ingrid Hoffman.)
1 T olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary (I used my frozen rosemary)
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme (I used my frozen thyme.)
1 pkg (16 oz.) frozen black-eyed peas
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock or 4 cans chicken or vegetable broth (I used homemade chicken stock)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2-3 T fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chile powder (or less, also can use a finely chopped chipotle chile pepper from a can)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
sour cream or plain yogurt for serving
Add frozen black-eyed peas and chicken stock, let come to a boil, then reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook 40-60 minutes, or until black-eyed peas are quite softened. Stir in chopped cilantro and chipotle chile powder or chopped chipotle pepper, then remove soup from heat.
Use a food process, blender, or immersion blender to puree soup, being very careful with the hot liquid. (I used my Braun Immersion Blender to puree the soup right in the pot, a method I highly recommend if you have one of these handy gadgets.)
When soup is pureed, reheat it to a very slight simmer. Stir in lime juice and season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper. (I didn't use any salt.) Serve hot with sour cream or plain yogurt if desired, and provide extra chopped cilantro to garnish each serving of soup.

From promoting your baby's development to paving the way for post-pregnancy weight loss, here's why pregnancy weight gain matters.
Like it or not, eating for two isn't a license to eat twice as much as usual. Use healthy lifestyle habits to manage your pregnancy weight gain, support your baby's health and make it easier to shed the extra pounds after delivery.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to pregnancy weight gain. How much weight you need to gain depends on various factors, including your pre-pregnancy weight and body mass index (BMI). Your health and your baby's health also play a role. Work with your health care provider to determine what's right for you.
Consider these general guidelines for pregnancy weight gain:
If you're carrying twins or other multiples, you'll likely need to gain more weight. Again, work with your health care provider to determine what's right for you.
Consider these general guidelines for pregnancy weight gain if you're carrying twins:
Being overweight before pregnancy increases the risk of various pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. Although a certain amount of pregnancy weight gain is recommended for women who are overweight or obese before pregnancy, some research suggests that women who are obese can safely gain less weight than the guidelines recommend. In women who have a BMI greater than 35, a weight loss of less than 11 pounds (5 kilograms) appears to have more benefits than risks and might not increase the risk of having a small-for-gestational-age infant.
Work with your health care provider to determine what's best in your case and to manage your weight throughout pregnancy.
If you're underweight, it's essential to gain a reasonable amount of weight while you're pregnant. Without the extra weight, your baby might be born earlier or smaller than expected.

Milk or half and half?
What's your favorite recipe?
Does it matter much if spices are cheap or expensive?
What's your favorite source for spices?
What is the best sweetener - brown sugar, turbinado sugar, something else?
Does it matter if tea is just your run of the mill half decent assam or ceylon or some really good assam?
How long do you boil the tea?
I've experimented with chai in the last week and I found out that you really gotta be easy on ginger - it overpowers everything else if you add too much. I also tried cardamom-only chai and so far I like mix of spices better. But my cardamom is suspect - some pods have black grains, some have brown grains, others have whitish grains, and it was kind of cheap.. I just ordered a zillion of different spices from penzeys so I will soon find out if using a better cardamom will help..

Tarpon Fishing
I will be honeymooning in about four months, is that even a word? We plan to go to Mexico and I plan on fishing some while there. The question I have is about the hardware neccessary for these fish. I don't know if a 10wt. tod will be enough or is 12wt. too much. Also, what length should I be using. I know the reel is very important in fighting fish this size. Would it be wise to divide my funds up to accomodate a more espensive reel and less so for the rod? Any recommendations on reel brands and length/wt for the rod would be great.
Will you be selling any of your fishing gear before or after the honeymoon?
I mean, it's better than just letting it collect dust.
Goo Goo Ga Choob!
Rocky Top Anglers
East Tennessee Fly Fishing Forums
The size of the tackle really depends entirely on the size of the fish that you are chasing. If you are targeting babies (up to 30lbs) in a place such as Campeche an eight or nine weight is perfectly adequate. If you are planning to target bigger fish, I would suggest an 11wt. I find that people, especially when not used to handling tarpon size gear, can handle an 11 much better than a 12. There is really very little difference in the way the two weights fight fish, but people are usually more accurate casters with the 11. A 10wt can be a great tarpon tool, but on large fish I feel that they can only be used effectively by experienced tarpon fisherman when fighting a fish. No matter what, I would only get a 9 ft rod, in fact it is hard to find a tarpon rod that isn't 9 ft.
A good reel is very important when fighting tarpon. Abels, Tibors, Van Staal are all great reels. There are also other good reels that aren't quite as much money, Nautilus comes to mind. The most important thing to have is a smooth drag that has a drag knob that can be easily adjusted during the fight. I often will allow a fish to make its first run and series of jumps on a lighter drag setting and gradually add pressure as the fight progresses.
Go to the shop and talk to Byron and Paula. I am sure they can find an outfit that will fit both your budget and your needs. Post a report and some pictures when you get back.

Tifosi Logic Sunglasses with High Speed Red Fototec Lens
(You save $8.00)
Product Description
- Tifosi Fototec lenses adjust rapidly for superior clarity and protection through your changing day. In bright sun, Fototec darkens quickly so you'll never squint. Then, as light fades, they become more transparent. Microscopic photochromic particles embedded in the lens react chemically to UV rays - they change shape, expand and absorb light thus darkening the optics. With cloud cover, the particles return to their previous state letting through more light. Like all Tifosi lenses, Fototec lenses block 100% of harmful UVA/UVB rays.
Weight: 27 grams
Fit: Medium to Large Faces
- Hydrophilic rubber adjustable temples and nose pieces
- Ventilated lenses for increased airflow and anti-fog
Eclipse Case:
- All Tifosi Eyewear include case and microfiber cleaning bag with purchase

Addressing the diverse field of gender and violence, the current issue of Gender Forum brings together aspects of gender-based violence and its traumatic repercussions as part of our everyday society. The contributors examine various themes such as sexism, rape and murder thus leading to questions of victimhood and the representation of victims in news and mass media. While men also fall victim to rape and other forms of violence, this issue is dedicated to the investigation of violence towards women and the forms of feminist narrative that empower abused women to fight not just their abuser, but the patriarchal system at large.

Description of Granuloreticulosa
Amoeboid organisms, mostly marine; pseudopodia extend from the cell body as a series of strands which divide and anastomose; structure of the net is always changing, and granular cytoplasm moves actively in both directions along the strands, which internally have microtubules. The appearance and behaviour of the pseudopodial network is held by many to be synapomorphic. The group is dominated by the foraminifera, the trophic cells of which occupy multichambered or agglutinated tests. Some organisms that live in a single chambered test (the Monothalamida) and some without tests (Athalamids) may be included. Because branching dynamic pseudopodial networks may be found in some taxa that may not be granuloreticulosea (such as Microcometes, a flagellate, Biomyxa, gymnophreids, Gymnophrydium, vampyrellids, leptomyxids, various slime moulds, etc.), the monophyly of the group is still uncertain. Some taxa assigned by others to this group, such as the Komokiacca and Biomyxa, are excluded here - even though there are undoubtedly some monothalamid and athalamid relatives of the foraminifera. Some taxa with complex life cycles (phases involving production of gametes separated by phases involving asexual reproduction); with or without flagellated swarmers; with or without nuclear dimorphism. Many with endosymbiotic algae. Ultrastructural identity: Mitochondria with tubular cristae. Nuclear envelope may be supported by fibrous sheath. Pseudopodia containing microtubules but not in geometric arrays, also with dark osmiophilic bodies. Flagellated stage generally unstudied, but it is now generally agreed that the flagella are without tripartite hairs. Wall of testate forms variable in composition and make-up. Synapomorphy: Usually said to be branching or anastomosing dynamic filamentous pseudopodial system, but this needs to be confirmed. About 40,000 species; most are foraminifera.

Welcome TCers to an extremely COLD TeaDay from the Mid-West to the Northeast, it is brutally cold and some places snowy.
I have been brewing and drinking my teas in mostly, white snowy cups for days now, just to fit the outside scenario. Really didn't realize I was doing this, intentionally or not. However, it brings me to the poll question and discussion ... 2 votes today.
Does the weather affect your Tea and Teaware selections?
As a bonus question, what type of tea do you drink more of as the weather gets cold?
Enjoy your TeaDay and please share with us. Pictures always brighten our TeaDay, so post some for us to enjoy as we are drinking our teas.

About the Author: Luke Ortega serves as Assistant Information Officer for Social Media at the U.S. Embassy Brasilia in Brazil.
Among flowing banners of red, white, and blue, a constellation of Brazilian officials, diplomats, business, and cultural leaders celebrated 234 years of America's independence at the Ambassador's residence. With the lights of Brasilia shining over Brasilia's Lago Paranoa, guests enjoyed gourmet presentations of American fare such as hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries, and chicken wings, and jammed to local rock band Engel Espiritos.
"Our celebrations are not characterized by...shows of force," said U.S. Ambassador to Brazil Thomas Shannon, "but with barbeques, baseball, and fireworks."
Ambassador Shannon lifted a glass of champagne and with more than 400 guests, toasted the friendship between the United States and Brazil, as fireworks lit the night sky. It may have been a continent away from Washington, DC, but for a moment, it felt like we were home on the Fourth of July.
Embassy Fourth of July celebrations are a great chance to make new friends, like the lawyer from the Brazilian national prosecutor's office who just returned from an International Visitor program to discuss the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction; the American professor happy to have a traditional July Fourth celebration so far from home after a week of outreach to Brazilian students; and the Brazilian corporate executive whose work for an American company not only strengthens the U.S. economy, but builds a culture of American corporate responsibility in Brazil.
Anyone left wondering why we would celebrate the Fourth of July on June 30 probably hasn't turned on a television anytime in the last month. Ambassador Shannon was adamant that a respect for Brazil include a respect for Brazilian World Cup soccer, and no one (not least of whom the Ambassador) wanted to miss a game. In spite of Brazil's heartbreaking loss to the Netherlands (2-1), the sheer volume of good food, fun sports, and loud fireworks in Brasilia and around the country this July would suggest that the Brazilian people are happy to celebrate right alongside us.

Topic: Debugging on Rails: Reading Stack Traces
What is a Stack Trace?
A stack trace is that thing Rails spits out when there is a problem in the code. It might look something like this:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:1506:in `attributes='
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:1354:in `initialize_without_callbacks'
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:236:in `initialize'
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/projects_controller.rb:11:in `new'
No doubt about it, this looks scary. But, stack traces are very useful and shouldn't be ignored! They will help you find the problem in your code.
At some point, whether it be in your code or in the rails framework itself, an exception is raised (an error occurred). The stack trace shows exactly where the error occurred and the path it took to get there.
Reading the Stack Trace
Take a look at the top line:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:1506:in `attributes='
This tells you three things (from left to right):
1. The file the error occurred in
2. The line in the file the error occurred
3. The method the error occurred in.
This is what each one is in the example:
File: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb
Line: 1506
Method: attributes=
The next line down in the stack trace represents where that method (attributes=) was called. As you can see it was called inside the initialize_without_callbacks method in the same file. If we keep going down we can see the path that was taken to get to the error.
A Simple Example
Let me show you another example, but this time a little simpler. I typed this in irb:
>> def foo
>> bar
>> end
>> def bar
>> raise 'test'
>> end
>> foo
RuntimeError: test
from (irb):5:in `bar'
from (irb):2:in `foo'
from (irb):7
from :0
Here we have two methods: foo and bar. The foo method calls bar, and bar raises an exception. When we call foo, we get the error and the stack trace below it.
Looking at the first line of the stack trace, we see the exception was raised in the 'bar' method on line 5. The next line down shows that the foo method called the bar method on line 2.
Finding the Problem
Now that we know how to read a stack trace, let's go back to the first example and find the problem.
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:1506:in `attributes='
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:1354:in `initialize_without_callbacks'
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:236:in `initialize'
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/projects_controller.rb:11:in `new'
In this case the exception was raised inside a method in the Rails framework. This is why the file path looks so strange on the first few lines. If we wanted, we can go looking at the active_record/base.rb file it occurred in, but Rails is well tested, and it is more likely the problem exists in our own code.
If we keep going down the stack trace, we see a method was called in our code, specifically the "new" action in the projects_controller.rb. Now we are getting somewhere. I'm guessing I'm passing some value that Rails doesn't expect. Let's take a look at that method:
def new
@project = Project.new(params[:id])
@task = Task.new
Oh what a stupid mistake I made. For some reason I'm passing params[:id] when creating the Project. I don't know what I was thinking, let me remove that:
def new
@project = Project.new
@task = Task.new
There we go, no more error! We could have probably found this easy enough without using the stack trace, but it just helped us locate the problem faster. On those tricky to find bugs, the stack trace will become all that much more useful!
TextMate Tip
Here's a tip. If you're using TextMate, go grab the TextMate Footnotes plugin. It will not only give you useful footnotes on each page, but it will also link each line of the stack trace that rails generates. This means you can click the line in the stack trace and the file will open instantly in TextMate, going to the appropriate line in the file. Very useful!

Hi guys,
just a question about the Lyric used with long delays or reverbs:
do you know if it resists to feedback?
I'm actually using a yamaha silent with her piezo and I've no problems with the strong use of efx, but the sound is a bit sad.
My dream is finally use live my Bourgeois without sacrificing the ability to create some... cosmic soundscapes :-)
(Obviously I want use in ears monitor, but... in big stage, with general high volume? and how much it hooks the sounds of any others musicians?)

This has to be my favorite golf event of the year. I have had the chance to play a historic open course, Canterbury (although it was obviously not in Open conditions), and I count it as one of the highlights of my life.
I love the unforgiving nature of open golf. It requires planning two shots ahead and perfect execution or the consequences are dire. I love listening to the pro's bitch that they cannot birdie every hole. I love the fact that par is a good score on most holes and birdies count as basically a -1.5.
Gotta like Tiger to win the event, but I hope that there is some serious drama. I would love to see the Aussie battle him to the wire in the final pairing.

We need to take a 'memory break'
Fr. Joseph O. Gouin
American Martyrs Church, Kingsford
I recently read about a hospital doctor who used to prescribe "memory breaks" for his patients. Before leaving a room, he'd say, "I've one more important prescription for you. I want you to take a "memory break"; One at ten o'clock and one at four o'clock. Close your eyes. Relax your body. Then recall three happy times from your past. Spend as much time as you can reliving each happy event."
The good doctor knew what he was doing. "Memory breaks" are healing experiences. Some of us might be tired of winter. We can spend a few minutes thinking of some of the wonderful times we had last summer. We might even think of some of the fresh vegetables we gathered from the garden. Right now, I am thinking of the fresh corn and ripe tomatoes. Also, we might think of an especially good time we had with someone in the past who has recently disappointed us for some reason. Perhaps we will need several "memory breaks" for a particular person.
In our relationship with God, we need to take a "memory break" when God doesn't seem to answer our prayers or seems distant. Someone has said, "God gives us memory so that we can have roses in February!"
God Bless…

Kent Hovind's former employees erm, excuse me, "missionaries" have been testifying to his bizarre tax-avoidance practices. Among the shenanigans:
Popp testified that Hovind warned employees not to accept mail addressed to "KENT HOVIND." He said Hovind told the workers the government created a corporation in his "all-caps name." Hovind said if he accepted the mail, he would be accepting the responsibilities associated with that corporation, Popp testified.
Amazing. Will Hovind's beleaguered attorney continue to try to spin this smarm as the behavior of a man who honestly didn't know about the tax laws he was breaking?
Kent is also fond of bullying and threatening his emp I mean, his "missionaries"…
After the Dinosaur Adventure Land was raided on April 2004, Kent Hovind required his employees to sign nondisclosure agreements if they wanted to keep their jobs, she said.
"I was uncomfortable signing it, I guess, because of not having a full understanding," [ex-employee Diane P.] Cooksey said.
…as well as filing frivolous lawsuits.
Hovind tried several bullying tactics against her, Powe testified. A recording that Hovind made of a phone conversation was then played. In the phone conversation, Hovind tried to make an appointment with Powe by 10 a.m. that day. When Powe said she couldn't meet him because she had a staff meeting, Hovind threatened to sue her, which he did.
"Dr. Hovind sued me three times, maybe more," Powe testified. "It just seemed to be something he did often."
She testified that the cases were dismissed.
The picture that emerges here is one of a man completely mentally imbalanced. One wonders how someone as deranged as this is able to move freely and function in society. The rational mind reels at the chaos that must be Hovind's mind; how does one live with one's self when one's entire day-to-day existence is a never-ending parade of dishonesty, guile, and just plain ugliness towards fellow human beings?
In his bankruptcy forms, Hovind wrote that he had no form of income, that he rejected his Social Security number and that his employer was God, [Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin] Beard testified.
"That gives you a warning sign," Beard said.
Indeed it does. Indeed it does.
Well, maybe Hovind will get a chance to take over the prison ministry. He'll be happy to know no one will expect him to pay taxes for that sort of work.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Continuing this week's theme about the future, fellow blogger, published author, and futurist David Houle is coming out with a new book this month titled [Entering the Shift Age]. This is a follow-on to his book, [The Shift Age].
Since this book cites IBM studies explicitly, his PR department asked me to review it. If you are an aspiring author that has a book you want me review, and it relates to the topics my blog covers like Cloud, Big Data, storage, and the explosion of information, feel free to send me a copy!
(FTC Disclosure: I work for IBM. I was not paid by anyone to mention this book on my blog. I was provided an "Uncorrected Advanced Copy" of this book at no cost to me for this review. I do not know David Houle personally, have not read any of his prior works, nor have I ever seen him speak at public events. This post is neither a paid nor celebrity endorsement of this author, his book, nor any other books by this author.)
First, let's get a few details out of the way:
Title: Entering the Shift Age, 284 pages
Author: David Houle, futurist
Genre: Non-fiction, trends and predictions Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
Publish date: January 2013
As I mentioned in my post [Historians vs. Futurists], there is only one past, but there are many potential futures. There seems to be as many futurists out there as there are potential futures. I suspect not everyone will agree with all that David has written. However, this reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
"When two futurists always agree, one is no longer necessary." -- old Italian adage
In his book, David asks a series of thought-provoking questions, then answers them with his views and opinions on how the future will roll out:
- Is humanity now entering a new age that is different than the Information age?
- If so, what should we call it?
- Which forces are driving this new age?
- How will this impact various aspects and institutions of society?
David feels humanity is indeed entering a new age, which he calls the Shift Age. This is driven by three forces: the shift to globalization of culture and politics, the flow of power and influence to individuals, and the acceleration of electronic connectedness.
In a sense, David is like a hunter-gatherer from the Stone age, hunting down trends and gathering ideas from others. In much the same way my compost brings renewed purpose to the rinds and pits of my fruits and vegetables, David's book does a good job paraphrasing the works of many of today's leading futurists.
David predicts the decade we are now in, the 2010's, will mark the end of the Information age, a transition period to this new era, that will lead to transformations in government, education, health, technology, and energy.
Over the past two weeks, I had time to enjoy a variety of movies. I had seen several whose stories wrapped around key moments of transition.
- "Gone with the Wind", as well as the new offering "Lincoln" from Steven Spielberg. Both are set in the 1860's, the time of the [American Civil War], pitting the Industrial-age forces of the North, against the Agricultural-age economy of the South. This time saw the transition from slavery to freedom.
- "Doctor Zhivago", set in the time of World War I, on the German-Russian front, as well as the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the resulting Civil War between the Red Guard and the White Army. This saw the transition from a Russian government ruled by Czars, to one ruled by the people through Communism.
- "Lawrence of Arabia", also set in the time of World War I, but south in Arabia. T. E. Lawrence was able to bring several warring Arab tribes together to defeat the Turks, and was a key figure in the transition to an Arab National Council.
Some might call these completely unexpected [Black Swan] events, while others might feel they are merely fortunate (or misfortunate) sequences of events that led to inevitable social change. Has something happened, or will something happen later this decade, that will drive us to leave the Information Age?
David's previous book, The Shift Age, was published back in 2007, and a lot has happened in the past six years: a global financial melt-down recession; the Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East; Barack Obama was elected and re-elected; man-made climate change in the form of hurricanes, tsunamis and superstorms hit various parts of the world; brush fires lit up Australia, and BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded off the Gulf coast, just to name a few.
David's new book reflects the impact of these recent events, from discussions on his [Evolutionshift] blog, to Q&A sessions he has after his public speaking presentations. For those who are not interested in the wide array of topics he covers in this one book, David also offers [a dozen different mini-eBooks] that cover specific topics like [Technology, Energy and Health].
My Rating: Moist and Flaky
Who should read this book: If you are a time-traveler from 1975 that came to this decade to learn all about what your future has in store, but can only select one book to read before you zoom back to your own time period, this would be the book I recommend.
I do not want to imply this is a quick read, or one that you can't put down once you start reading it. Just like you should not gulp down a full bottle of cheap Vodka in one sitting, this book should be read over a series of days, as I did, so that you can mull over in your mind the different points and thoughts he is trying to convey.

Dar Rbab
Welcome to Dar Rbab!
Each room has a double bed, with an en suite bathroom up a flight of steps; like most steps in Fes and Dar Rbab, they're steep. People must have been more agile years ago.
You're on the first floor (or the second floor if you are American!) of an a beautiful old house, originally our family home.
The house is in the region of 300 years old, and has all the features associated with historic houses in Fes. The centre of the two storey building is a courtyard, with pillars supporting balconies at the first floor. Access to all the principal rooms - including the bedrooms - is by massive sets of cedarwood double doors, elaborately decorated and gilded on their inner sides.
We have a full time housekeeper; families with children are welcome.

You need a degree of physical dexterity (or determination) to enjoy the old medina of Fes, and its old houses are no different; steep staircases, low doorways, uneven floors and random steps are all part of the charm...
We ask guests not to smoke in the bedrooms.
DirectionsShow MapHide Map
We can provide a car and driver who will collect you from the airport or train station, park at Bab el Guissa and then walk you into Dar Rbab - the medina is a medieval walled city and the roads aren't passable by car.
If you prefer to find your own way, I'd recommend parking at Bab el Guissa and asking for the house - the porters all know the house and will carry your luggage for 2 euros.
Absolute walking directions are, frankly, difficult. The medina is nearly 2 square miles and has over 9,000 streets; signs are normally in Arabic and English isn't widely spoken.
Located Near
We are in a quiet residential area just off the Tala Kabira and a few minutes walk from Bab el Guissa and the 5 star Palais Jamai.
All of the major sites in the medina are within easy walking distance.

My fave stuff from the psychedelic era of 1966-67 (NOT NECESSARILY PSYCHEDELIC SONGS):
1= Eleanor Rigby
1= A Day In The Life
3. Strawberry Fields Forever
4. All You Need Is Love
5. Within You Without You
6. Tomorrow Never Knows
There. Predominantly John doing psychedelic stuff.
And Len, I agree with your comments - Help was the first turning point, but it wasn't until RS that they really started doing hugely different stuff, and they went even further on Revolver.
I personally find Help a difficult album to classify. The Beatles had three eras:
1962-64: Standard rock & roll
Help (1965)
1965-67: Psychedelic
1968-70: More serious music
Help comes in between the rock'n'roll and the psychedelia, making it a tought one . . .
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

Upright vacuum comparison
Keywords: vacuum review, vacuum reviews, best vacuum, vacuum cleaner review, best vacuum cleaner, upright vacuum review, best upright vacuum, upright vacuum cleaner review, best upright vacuum cleaner, consumersearch
Description: Which vacuum cleaners are best? Editors examine vacuum reviews to recommend the top upright and robotic vacuum cleaners for any home or budget.
It's probably safe to say that very few dwellings, no matter how small, lack a vacuum cleaner. Bigger homes with multiple levels and a variety of floor types may even have more than one, while smaller homes and apartments will probably do just fine with one good all-purpose model.
In this report we cover upright vacuums and robotic vacuums. Upright vacuum cleaners tend to be very simple and straightforward to operate -- just push a button and move it over the carpet. Though the technology behind them is more complex, robotic vacuums are even easier to use once they are set up as they move under their own power. The best vacuums will clean both carpet and bare floors efficiently, filter the air to keep particles from flying about, and include attachments for cleaning upholstery, stairs, baseboards, and for reaching into nooks and crannies.
In addition to, or instead of, an upright vacuum, some people need a smaller vacuum for a smaller space, or a secondary vacuum for other living areas or for picking up spot messes in between cleaning days. If that's the case, take a look at our other vacuum reports: canister vacuums use slender wands that can reach farther into tight spaces, like under beds, or up stairways than the attachments on most uprights. Stick vacuums and hand vacuums are often used for quicker, spot-cleaning tasks, like sweeping up small, dry spills and messes without having to haul out the bigger upright.
Bagless vacuums cleaners operate on a two-step process -- larger particles are deposited into a removable canister, smaller particles go into the filter. When the canister is full, you just remove it, dump the debris, and replace. The filters also have to be cleaned occasionally and, eventually, replaced as they wear out. The most obvious advantage of a bagless vacuum cleaner is that you don't have to buy replacement bags, but some bagless vacuums are messy and awkward to dump. And, eventually, dirt and pet hair will accumulate in the nooks and crannies of the container so it will have to be cleaned -- a task most owners find unappealing. However, not having to dispose of the bag is more environmentally friendly as it eliminates an added layer of trash. One other advantage to bagless: If you accidentally vacuum up a small item, you don't have to tear open the bag and dig through the contents to find it; the canisters are mostly see-through.
Bagged vacuum cleaners have a removable bag that you discard and replace when full. Most bagging vacuums have bags that are constructed of filter media, adding an extra filtration step to the overall system. Many owners prefer this no-muss, no-fuss approach to getting rid of their vacuuming debris, although some bags are trickier to put in place than others. Some bagging upright vacuum cleaners use self-sealing bags, which prevent any particles from escaping back into the air during the bag-disposal process. Bagged vacuum cleaners tend to get better scores in professional tests, overall, for performance on both carpet and hardwood, although bagless models are closing in fast. The major downside to bagging upright vacuum cleaners is that bags must be purchased throughout the life of the vacuum cleaner. Bags typically range in price from $2 to $7 per bag, although generic bags are an option in some cases and bags can often be ordered in bulk for a lower per-bag cost. As with bagless vacuums, the air filters will have to occasionally be replaced as well.
Robotic vacuum cleaners do the work for you. They can be programmed to vacuum your floor for you when you're at work, sleeping, or busy doing other tasks. Robotic vacuums can't replace a full-sized upright vacuum; they can't do stairs, for instance, and they don't' deep clean as well as the best vacuum cleaners, but they're much beloved for touchup cleaning on a day-to-day basis, especially by people who have multiple pets. Like bagless vacuums, they use a container debris-system that has to be emptied, and there may be a bit of a learning curve to figure out where to set up the guides, also called virtual walls or lighthouses (depending upon if you use them as stops or guides). Some robotic vacuums damp mop as well.
