If we could get a relatively cheap IR burner and just mount on the top facing down then it would be very easy to make a very efficient oven,the burner would heat the stone directly initially very fast whilst the platter is spinning and then it would heat the top of the pizza when the pizza is in.
need to find out how it is hooked up to the propane and if any special regulator requirements etc.
an oven with an IR burner facing down the width of the radius of the rotating stone will be a huge leap.it would be very easy to make a small efficient oven.

Not many budget wonks worry about the other side of "security spending": the money we spend on civlian capacity to engage the world. But it matters, and it will matter more once the US is out of Iraq and Afghanistan. A project I am connected to at the Stimson Center - Budgeting for Foreign Affairs and Defense - is one of the places that does worry about it, because our civilian and military capabilities are synergistic, or should be. BFAD runs a website - The Will and the Wallet - that is worth looking at for both defense and foreign policy wonks. I have linke to it a number of times over the past year.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: It's Time for Tech Stocks
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Is it time to start betting on some high-profile tech turnarounds?
Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Tuesday that after despising names such as Groupon
Cramer said he never liked Groupon, the over-hyped online coupon Web site that's done nothing but disappoint the markets since its IPO. But when the company's CEO stepped down earlier this year, that signaled a big change, one that Cramer admitted he didn't take seriously. He advised investors to stop selling Groupon back in February, but never told them to start buying, which turned out to be a mistake. Cramer said the time to buy Groupon is now.
But what of Zynga
Then there's Nokia, the beleaguered phone maker that everyone assumed Microsoft
Finally, there's BlackBerry
Off the Charts
In the "Off The Charts" segment, Cramer went head to head with colleague tim Collins over the charts of two food stocks, Kellogg
Collins noted that while Kellogg is already up 17% for the year, the stock is just getting started because its 13-day moving average just crossed over its 34-day average, a medium-term bullish signal. After making a false move higher in May, Collins felt this most recent move is the real deal and is confirmed by a flag formation in the stock's weekly chart and the stochastics also rising.

This week I am in Orlando, Florida for the IBM Edge conference. This is the last day, so it ends early for people who want to get home to their
datacenters (er.. families) for the weekend.
- How Real-Time Compression Can Maximize Storage Efficiency for Production Applications
This was a split session with two speakers. First, Ian Rimmer, Senior IT Engineer and Architect at iBurst, presented their experience with the IBM Real-Time Compression Appliance in front of NetApp NAS storage arrays. Second, Jerry Haigh, IBM offering manager for IBM System Storage, presented the new Real-Time compression feature announced this week on IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) and Storwize V7000.
iBurst is the #1 Wireless Telecom for South Africa. The also offer cable broadband and VOIP. They have 200 employees servicing 120,000 subscriber/households. They need to keep five years' worth of text files, and have chosen real-time compression of their NAS storage. This was before IBM acquired the Storwize company, as they have been using it for the past six years.
The monetary savings from compression was used to purchase Performance Accelerator Modules (PAM) cards for their NetApp NAS gear, which benefit from the compression (more data stored in SSD to improve performance).
For backup, they use NDMP with Symantec NetBackup that keeps data in its compressed form as it is written to tape. They have an IBM TS3100 library with LTO tape as the backup repository.
Jerry Haigh presented Real-Time compression for primary disk data. Unlike the competition, this is designed to be used with primary data, including databases, and does this real-time, not post-process. In some performance tests, DB2 compressed on 48 drives out-performed the same data uncompressed on 96 drives. In another test focused on VMware Vmark benchmark, the compressed data was able to be same or better performance as uncompressed. In a third test with SVC virtualizing XIV running Oracle ORION test, the Oracle databases compressed 50 to 64 percent, and had better performance.
For those who already have SVC or Storwize V7000, consider a 45-day trial to check out compression for yourself.
- NAS File Systems: Access and Authentication
Mark Taylor, IBM Technical Specialist for SONAS, N series and Storwize V7000 Unified, presented the nuances of authentication and authorization for NAS file systems. The differences between these two are:
- Authentication - Yes, you are who you are.
- Authorization - Yes, you are permitted to do what you are trying to do
(Prior to working with SONAS, my only experience with access and authentication in NAS was setting up my LAN at home, which I have connecting my Mac, Linux and Windows machines. I have both N series and SONAS at the IBM Executive Briefing Center in Tucson, Arizona, so I know first-hand how complicated NAS access and authentication systems can be. A few months ago, I taught "Intro to NAS" as one of my topics at the Top Gun class in Argentina and Brazil. Several of the students had mentioned they thought they knew NAS solutions but had not realized all the technical issues with access and authentication that I discussed in my presentation.)
Mark explained the differences between Windows NTFS-style System identifiers (SID), versus UNIX-style user and group identifiers (UID, GID). For NAS solutions that support both CIFS and NFS, there are four options:
- Microsoft Active Director (AD) extended with Identity Management for UNIX, formerly known as Services for UNIX (SFU). AD servers normally store SID information, but the extensions add extra columns to hold UID/GID mappings.
- AD with Network Information Service (NIS) server. The problem with this approach is that AD and NIS are separate databases, and you need to coordinate updates to them, and their backups.
- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) with SAMBA extensions. LDAP holds UID/GID information, and the SAMBA extensions adds extra columns to hold SID mapping.
- Local mapping. The dangerous part of local mapping is that the storage admin is also the security admin, and you may want different people doing these roles.
Of these four methods, Mark recommends the first and third as best practices for multi-protocol authentication.
Device CIFS Mixed NFS N series NTFS-style SID-to-UID mapping,
UID-to-SID mapping
UNIX-style SONAS and Storwize V7000 SID-to-UID/GID mapping, NFS v4 ACLs NFS v4 ACLs
Mark then explained how NFS v4 ACLs work, basically an ordered collection of "Access Control Elements" or ACEs. Each ACE on the ACL may "allow" or "deny" the request. You want to avoid "Inheritance" as that can cause problems and unxpected results.
That's it folks. Next week, I am spending time with my research buddies at the Almaden Research Center near San Jose, California, and then it is off to Moscow, Russia to kick off a series of IBM events called "Edge Comes to You" (ECTY).
The ECTY conferences will be a smaller subset of the Edge conference here in Orlando, but offered in other countries for those who were unable to travel to the United States.

Ojibwe author to speak
Thursday, December 1, 2011
Carl Gawboy, Duluth educator, artist, illustrator and author. Photo courtesy of Minnesota Public Radio.
Artist, author, illustrator and retired college professor Carl Gawboy will discuss traditional Native American views of astronomy 7 p.m. Dec. 6 in the Cascade Room of Atwood Memorial Center.
The presentation, "The Wintermaker and Other Star Legends," is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
View the event poster (PDF).
Parking is free on streets adjacent to campus and a dollar per hour in the 4th Avenue Parking Ramp.
Gawboy is co-author and illustrator of the 2003 University of Minnesota Press book "Talking Rocks." In the book Gawboy and earth scientist Ron Morton discuss the natural history of the Lake Superior region, examining the science and spirit of the land.
The book is an outgrowth of Gawboy's lifelong interest in connections between ancient pictographs and Native American understandings of astronomy and the constellations.
His art, incuding murals, paintings, murals and sketches, have been exhibited throughout the United States.
Something of a polymath, Gawboy recently staged several performances of a reader's theater production he scripted. "The Great Hurt" (PDF) discusses Indian boarding schools through the words of survivors and school personnel.
An enrolled member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, Gawboy grew up near Ely speaking English, Finnish and Anishinaabemowin. His father was Ojibwe. His mother was Finnish.
He taught at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth for many years, coordinating the school's Ojibwe language program.
The presentation is sponsored by these St. Cloud State entities: Department of Chemistry and Physics and the American Indian Center.

In short: Two laps of a largely flat course in a Birmingham parkIn full: Two laps including an out-and-back section means you get to see how the rest of the field are doing. There was one turn round a post but otherwise a fast course. Cakes and squash always welcome and a nice little goody bag with medal. Impressed. PB was a bonus, of course...Date of review: September 20, 2009

In short: Pleasant and friendly raceDate of review: September 29, 2008
In short: A friendly enjoyable race... but room for improvementIn full: Second time I have ran this race and have enjoyed both occassions... its a relaxed friendly race, ideal for beginners. Couple of concerns though, the km markers were unclear and easy to miss, plus running around the 180 cones is off putting. The biggest concern though was that there was no water at the finish for the front runners. However, I know that the organisers are now aware of this and are reviewing this situation for next time. Saying that, its still a good local race thats well worth supporting.Date of review: September 29, 2008
In short: Excellent freindly raceIn full: Excellent race, freindly marshalls, nice flat course. U-turns werren't to much of a pain. Welll done all involved.Date of review: September 29, 2008
In short: A lovely sunny run round the park!In full: A definite course improvement on last year made the course much more agreeable to run. Thank you organisers! Agree with previous comments about the U turns which does definitely slow you up but still got a good PB today. My only query is about the organisation at the end of the race - the Finish for the 5k was very deceiving for lots of first time runners who though they'd finished the 10km 200m before they had (with no marshalls to point them in the right direction). Also no water available at the finish when i ended - a confused looking marshall told me to go back to the start to get some which was not ideal, and i got the wrong size t-shirt. Small things and can easily be improved for next year. Date of review: September 28, 2008
In short: Fast, fun, friendlyIn full: A credit to the organisers, who even arranged perfect running weather.I can think of only one criticism - nobody likes U-turns!Didn't notice many km markers, but wasn't looking for them - it's only 2 laps!Date of review: September 28, 2008

About This Rod
The new Shimano Expride Spinning Rods were designed with the Minimal material with maximum effect is the concept behind . Incredibly lightweight yet extremely powerful, the series features Shimano's new Hi-Power X blank technology. The unique Hi-Power X construction process utilizes carbon fiber tape, which is woven around hoop and axial materials in a 45-degree X-pattern. This proprietary process allowed Shimano to produce a rod series with exceptional power and sensitivity, while also greatly reducing blank twist. Reduced blank twist means far better lure and tip control during casting, and also helps maximize the rods' strength attributes.
Advanced CI4 Reel Seats (the same material used in the Chronarch & Stradic CI4 reels) only add to the Expride's exceptional lightness, while also increasing sensitivity transferred into the angler's hand. Fuji Stainless Steel Guides with SiC Inserts also compliment the Expride's series performance attributes, while adding extra dose of durability. Lighter, stronger and more sensitive, the Shimano Expride Spinning Rods dominate the competition.
-Backed by 1-year Limited Warranty (All warranty claims must be made with Shimano directly. Tackle Warehouse can no longer accept Shimano warranty rods.)

Posted on 12/09/2012 3:07:21 PM PST by Eleutheria5
Fears of the worst possible scenario in Syria have been confirmed in a video released by rebels that shows victims of chemical warfare.
WARNING: The video should not be shown to children without parental agreement.
An almost sure sign that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has unleashed his chemical weapons for use against rebels is his regimes claim on Saturday that rebels are preparing to use chemicals in their uprising. Assad systematically has accused opposition forces, which he labels as foreign terrorists, of carrying out attacks and murders for which his own loyalists are responsible.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Saturday there was evidence the Damascus government could actually employ chemical weapons stocks in the conflict which a rights group says has killed at least 42,000 people in nearly 21 months.
The Obama administration is bound to be tested this week on its treat to intervene militarily if signs continue to show that chemical weapons are already being used in Syria.
If President Barack Obama thought that his warning would be enough to stop Assad, he apparently is mistaken. Assad knows that if he does not defeat the opposition, his fate is death, and probably in a way no more humane than his brutal suppression of the uprising if not in a way similar to that of his old friend, Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi.
Military intervention would have far-reaching repercussions especially, in Iran, a last holdout in Assads collapsing support.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
If I were to believe any of this at all, i"d be saying the Hildabeast and Obamugabe are bald faced liars, and so are all the other Democrats ~
What they'll need to do is go in there on the ground and actually get a big whiff of it before I"ll believe any of it.
Obama just got his bluff called. I predict he does nothing but talk. "The world must unite, etc." You know the drill.
YEP! Obama is dumber than a Lemming! I was going to say a ROCK, but they are too intelligent!
What do You want to bet that these are the Russian Chemical Weapons hastily removed from IRAQ and stored, hidden and stockpiled in the weeks before we invaded IRAQ!
Look more like victims of burns than chemical weapons. Certainly wasn't sarin or they'd be dead.
Syria is the one bright spot in the news.
They can always claim that Syria brewed its own. Really not hard to do. Insecticide is very similar to nerve gas. Even has the same antidote: atropine. Mix amonia and chlorine bleach together and — voila! WMD! Get a mess of castor beans, and you can make deadly poisons with little more equipment than is found in a kid's chemistry set.
Susan Rice to blame WWIII on video for 2 months.
Zero's sternly worded letter will be sent very soon...
Yes, very soon.
Does it show Mohammed eating his wife's rug to rid himself of demons?
Did you notice that 'they' are not claiming ....... makes this all suspicious ~ they know.
Those look like burns. I guess they could be chemical burns; but they do not appear to be the poisonous chemical inhalants most folks associate with chemical weapons.
Has anyone specifically identified the "chemicals" involved?
This puts Pres. Obama between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand he has to call the people he supports liars, or he has to honor his promise that the use of chemical weapons would not be tolerated and have consequences.
But then again there is the Obama way, vote present.
HAHAHAhahaaa lol. Amazing. Freaking amazing, how this CIA/State op is going. Last week the propaganda was "if he uses chemicals, we will intervene".
The rebels heard the message loud and clear, "we need you to give us proof so we can intervene".
And bada bing* this week the rebels have "proof".
I'm waiting on stories that Syrian soldiers are catching Belgian babies on their bayonets next.
Mustard has causes serious skin burns. It's particularly dangerous if inhaled as it burns lung tissue causing the victim to drown. Nerve agent fatalities usually show corpses in unusual positions due to death while seizing.
Good for Assad. Gas those Al Qaeda bastards and their supporters.
"Released by the rebels"...a video made right after they bombed their own people with chemical weapons they stole from the government facility they overran a couple of weeks ago.
This is all about trying to give the US a reason for intervening on the side of the Islamists in Syria.
The factory captured by AQ manufactured chlorine gas, but it is believed that the facility was a storage space for other chemical weapons that had been sent to Syria by Saddam and have been in storage since then.
So AQ might have a lot of seriously bad stuff now.
perhaps it was mustard gas.
LOL you saw it too!
Does the video say "A New World Order Production" at the end?
The video that supposedly provoked the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi. Innocence of Moslems. It's a trailer of a crude film with plenty of really insulting stuff about Mohammed, except it's all based on their own books.
Ah. I have only heard of it, but not seen it.
Syria has invaded Belgium?!
It's well worth a ten-minute investment of time. See it. It's funny as hell, and available on You Tube.
Clearly not sarin, but maybe mustard gas.
Not burns. Swelling too uniform in color and area.
I think they have! And we must join the fight and make the world safe for democracy!
2004 study by the US, under Bush, determined that Iraq had destroyed its WMD stockpiles in 1991.
Syria is one of six states that have not signed and eight that have not ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention. It is capable, and has produced, its own chemical weapons. It didn't need any from Iraq.
In 2001 the CIA reported that: Syria sought CW-related precursors and expertise from foreign sources during the reporting period. Damascus already has a stockpile of the nerve agent sarin, and it would appear that Syria is trying to develop more toxic and persistent nerve agents.
no, innocent Arab people are not capable of handling nerve agents ~ it's all a Democrat lie ~ these weapons do not exist ~ nobody has made them ~ they aren't there ~ Saddam is innocent ~ Assad is innocent ~ (/s)
Obama to Assad," You didn't make those chemical weapons
all by yourself..."
who ya gonna believe? Muzzie terrorists, presstitutes, or the Prez of the USA...?
Ahah..! I caught you looking dizzy, didn't I....?
What if the whole Libya thing was us actually sending chemical weapons to Syria?
It looks staged to me
So, let's say they figured out how to make nuclear land mines ~ and that's what we were shipping to Syria.
They had already procured them from Saddam Hussein...who originally got them from us.
I don't trust "rebel" films. They are trying to draw us into the sink hole that is Syria and they are nothing but liars. No more US involvement in funding and empowering the Muslim Brotherhood (nation building) surrounding Israel.
We are going to have to go in and fight against them all when they join forces against Israel and US. Don't make them stronger. If anything, do bomb runs on chem weapon operations and that is all. Nuke the place.
Damn chilling thought really! Can't believe this is what our country has been reduced to.
Totally agree. Bombs away. Except, they don't exist. It's all bullshit about sarin gas and WMD. The only thing that is true is that Obama is arming Jihadi Islamists from Al Queda to try to take Asshat out in Syria and install Islamist rule like in Egypt. Libya etc.
This puts Baraq between Iraq and a hard place.
And that somehow makes it OK?
An almost sure sign that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has unleashed his chemical weapons for use against rebels is his regime's claim on Saturday that rebels are preparing to use chemicals in their uprising. Assad systematically has accused opposition forces, which he labels as "foreign terrorists," of carrying out attacks and murders for which his own loyalists are responsible.
>> Mix amonia and chlorine bleach together and voila!
And of course, no one should do that. Very, very dangerous vapor.
Will this be the war to end all wars? Has the Crown Prince of Austria been shot by a Serb?
Innocent Arab people? Are those the ones who threw huge rocks through the Palmers' windshield on Highway 60 and killed a two-year-old Zionist occupier and his equally nefarious Zionist father?
So, in answer to your questions, all has been answered.

I experienced this during my training with Roberto. It was impossible for him not to answer the incessant phone calls, computer work, and inevitable interactions with staff when he was at his work place, rather than focusing on the actual training. Roberto is a very talented pizza maker but I think the distractions that take place in a pizzeria took away the value of a (very) costly training for me.Giulio has the right idea of designating an area separate from the business, and yet, still give the students the opportunity to experience real setting by going downstairs to the pizzeria and observing. He spoke of bringing one of his long-time colleague to assist him in teaching the class, and even mentioned of working together with Roberto, perhaps. Though he didn't go into much detail about that.
All types of pizza will be taught including the pizza al metro, according to Giulio.
In collaboration with the Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani President Sergio Miccu, and the sponsor of Caputo Flour, the new Pizza Academy will open to pizza professionals as well as home baker chefs.
CopperTop,I really enjoyed your latest blog post on the One-on-One training with Giulio Adriani of Forcella. You did a great job! Norma
Roberto should definitely have known his limitations and not offered to train you, but there are other factors in play than just transferring of knowledge. I liked Forcella quite a bit and I think it's prospects are great, but, at the time of your training, Roberto was a bit of a rock star.Does this mean that he's teaching NY style? I have the utmost respect for Giulio as a Neapolitan pizza maker and teacher, but if he's teaching NY, he and I are going to have a problem
A rock star? No sure what you mean...
I think time might be leveling the playing field, but, back then, Roberto probably had students that were more than happy just to be in his presence.
Sharlene,Would you be so kind as to recap the dough ball size and pizza diameter for each of the places you've studied Neapolitan pizza.Thanks in advance,Craig
I believe in her blog she stated the doughballs were 250 grams, but didn't mention the pizza diameter.
(picture 2)
Hope this is helpful.
Sharlene,Are those "practice pizzas" in the second picture? I'm curious as to how many of those were made, if that's what they are, and whether that's part of the typical "training process"with Roberto and/or Giulio ?Thanks, John K
Yes, very much. Thank you.I've been using 270g for 13" pies, and I was curious how I compared.
The plan was to switch the next day, i would open the dough, and the other student would manage the oven. i just couldnt bear another day... i think the 10 days was too long for me. I did the same practice pizzas with Giulio... First, making one pizza- opening the dough and then cooking it. Then, two pizzas at once.
I will have to practice unloading the 260-270 g... I think I'm not giving enough of a quick jerk that I'm elongating the diameter, therefore, not retaining the round shape.
This is a big part of why I'm such a big advocate for webcam training. There's certain aspects of training that lend themselves to training in person, but there's also a lot of repetitive tasks required in order to master a skill- a student shouldn't have to pay a teacher to stretch skins all day, or, for that matter, launch pies all day. With a webcam, the teacher can show them once or twice, make sure they're using the correct form and then leave them to do their repetition on their own. It's a lot more effective use of training resources- and dollars.
What I find works best is to start the pie slightly oval with the long axis perpendicular to the direction you will pull the peel out from under it. When you do this, the slight stretching from pulling out the peel leaves it nice and round.
This pies look amazing! I love that big cornicione you achieved!
It's Official! I have stepped over the line, professed my love for Neapolitan pizza, and vow to share my passion to Central Virginia ( Charlottesville and Richmond). I know, it's crazy, but i know you all understand. Check out my pizza project, gone LIVE:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bufalapizza/bringing-authentic-neapolitan-pizza-to-central-virExcited to see where this new adventure takes me. Thanks for the great camaraderie and pizza support!!

That was over 2 years ago and I have trouble remembering last week!
Not a wide selection of mollusks out here in the high desert - with the exception of certain "oysters" that will NEVER, NEVER NEVER go on one of my pizzas.
Cherry stone clams are around $1 a piece
I think these are from China though
..with the exception of certain "oysters" that will NEVER, NEVER NEVER go on one of my pizzas.
For cherry stones... are you kidding me??? After reading an article passed on to me by one of my students, I do not think I will be eating fish or shellfish from China in a long time. http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Feces+imported+food+from+less+developed+countries+rising+concern+scientists/4827169/story.htmlI certainly agree though, fresh or fresh frozen is most likely the way to go.Craig,That clam pie you make always looks incredible; thanks for the link, it offered many excellent suggestions. I am not a seafood and cheese fan either, another reason I have steered clear of the seafood pies. Am I correct in saying that you are not chopping your clams after shucking and are applying them whole? I think that is what I am seeing in your pictures but not for certain.
Bill,Were you referring to Rocky Mountain Oysters by any chance ?Peter
Yes, I do my best to keep them in one piece when I shuck them and I don't chop them after. Those were pretty small clams in the pictures. Even with larger clams, they are perfectly cooked in a 70-80ish second NP bake.
...with the exception of certain "oysters" that will NEVER, NEVER NEVER go on one of my pizzas.Were you referring to Rocky Mountain Oysters by any chance Grin?
I have not tried them on pizza, but we don't waste them when we take a buck...
I'm waiting for someone to say "nutty"! Laugh
Craig,That is what I was figuring but wasn't sure. Thanks for the help.I was really hoping that wasn't what he was referring too.That's kind of gross. I know I am going to regret asking but how do they taste?
I can't wait to see the next monthly challenge.
You want one on "nasty bits"?
Do it next February, and I'll give you one that will blow your mind...
So I'm thinking the challenge for next February will be "toppings that will totally gross-out the forum membership" or maybe just a nice simple theme like "projectile vomiting" so that Craig can knock himself out.

Questions, Anyone?
Henry Ford in Alpena
Q. A reader asks,"Is it true that Henry Ford spent some time in Alpena?"
A. Henry Ford visited Alpena at least twice, as shown by materials in Special Collections
at the Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library. A July 18, 1917 newspaper report, sent by Bob Lyngos, special collections staff, stated, "Henry Ford of Detroit spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with Charles Luce at his cottage." (Long Lake)
An original letter written in in 1891 by Henry Ford to his wife is also in the county library's Special Collections. He wrote on letterhead of the "Globe Hotel, Dougald McDonald, Proprietor, Cor. Second St. and Washington Ave., Alpena, Mich, Mar 3td 1891" Ford's letter, just as he wrote it (with misspellings and lack of periods and paragraphs) said,
"My Own Dear little wife I left Detroit about 10. o.clock for Ausable but changed my minde on the boat – came to Alpena it took 27 hours we got to Lexington about dark and i was afraid of takeing cold so I got a room and went to bed we had horses Cattle and Chickens on bord the first thing i knew after I went to bed was to hear the …roosters croing and then heard some one ask another if we were in some ones farm yard but we were in the middle of Saginaw bay
"Saginaw Bay was ruff but no one was sea sick I like Alpena. Every body friendly their was a
turnout last night 2 miles long there is music here night and day I haven't been around mutch yet but have a good idea of the town. There is 14000 people here but I wish you were here I bet I will never go so far from you again look for me any time after Tuesday Good by Darling Yours Henry -"
Worth your salt
Q. What is the origin of the expression "worth your salt"?
A. Various websites explain that the Roman army required salt for its soldiers, horses and livestock. At times soldiers were paid in salt, thus the terms of "earning his salt" and "worth his salt".
Other internet statements include the following.
"When we say someone is worth their salt, we mean literally that he or she earns whatever reward they get, which usually refers to their paycheck, but can also simply denote a person who is worthy of respect or admiration."
"… salt is a mineral that has been a commodity in every part of the world, throughout history. People bartered with it and may have actually carried cakes of salt around with them. If you could carry your weight in salt then you had a lot of spending power!"
"At times, Roman soldiers were paid partly or fully in salt. In fact, the Latin word for salt was sal and these salt rations were called a salarium, from which we derive out modern word salary. Not only that, but the Latin word sal also became the French word solde, meaning pay. This is the origin of the word soldier."
Please send questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com or to "Questions, Anyone?" The Alpena News, 130 Park Place, Alpena, MI 49707.

Franklin County receives $3.4M for emergency services
TUPPER LAKE – Franklin County has been awarded $3.4 million to upgrade its emergency services communication infrastructure.
Most of the money will be used to upgrade the county's four existing relay tower sites by making them taller and sturdier. The base stations at each site will also be upgraded.
Ricky Provost, director of Franklin County Emergency Services, said it's also likely the county will add a few new towers.
"Towers are built for what you put on them," Provost said. "Some of the tower sites that we have are 40 or 50 years old, and the equipment 40 or 50 years ago is much different than what it is today. Microwave dishes can be 6 or 8 feet around. In the old days, there was no microwave (equipment), so the old towers weren't designed to handle the wind and the weight of the equipment that we're putting on them today."
The net result of the upgrades will be a cheaper and more far-reaching network of communication between 911 centers in adjacent counties.
"This money will allow us to hook into the new $16 million system Essex County is putting in," Provost said. "It gives me access to Pisgah Mountain, it gives me Mt. Morris in Tupper Lake. I've never been able to do that before without using infrastructure from Verizon or AT&T."
Using that infrastructure costs the county about $1,200 a month, an expenditure that will disappear once improvements have been made.
Provost called the grant money phase 2 in improving the county's microwave infrastructure. Phase 1 came a couple years ago when the county received a $365,000 grant to put in some baseline microwave equipment and a new pager system for Franklin County fire and EMS.
Phase 3 will involve acquiring a high-band-radio frequency tower in Canada.
Provost said about $1.3 million of the grant will also be used for end-user equipment, which will put new radios in the fire and EMS vehicles within the county. He added that some of the local police departments will also get some of that equipment.
An emergency services board meeting Thursday will hash out the details on exactly how, and when, the grant will be spent.
"It's not easy spending that kind of money," Provost said. "There are a lot of things that have to come together in terms of procurement before we can even start the process. We will spend most of this winter in preparation of the construction season next year, and hopefully we'll have the ability to build those things by this time next year."
Provost added that emergency services Deputy Director John Bashaw put a lot of time into writing the grant, and that Franklin County got every dime it asked for.
The money was part of $75 million in Statewide Interoperable Communications Grants announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo Tuesday. Cuomo also announced an additional $5 million in grants for specific emergency services like technical rescue and bomb squads.
The latest announcement marks the third round of Statewide Interoperable Communications Grants. Including this current round, 53 counties across the state have received a total of $197 million.
"New York has seen some of the nation's worst disasters in recent years, and this $80 million will go a long way to strengthening the network of locally-based emergency response infrastructure across our state," Cuomo said in a press release. "First responders are often the initial line of defense in any critical incident, and supporting their communication abilities is an important way for the state to help safeguard our communities during a crisis. My administration is committed to providing our emergency personnel with the assistance they need to serve their communities."

Kids need to be considered; vote yes on millage
Alcona's Kids 1st
For the last 2 1/2 months we have been part of an ongoing conversation around our community about the enhancement millage. As a result, what we want to emphasize is that we all are products of the choices we have made: where we live; what we do; continuing education or not; buying land or not; retiring or not. Many of these choices are framed by the question, "How does this benefit me?" or not. We have 779 kids in our local schools, far fewer than in 1975 when we moved here. This is what's stunning to us, kids are almost never at the core of this debate. Kids, if you haven't noticed are largely nonpartisan and are in charge of very few of the most critical decisions that affect their lives, as it should be. It is our job to make those choices with their best interest in mind.
We have empathy for the circumstances adults face, however, we have all decided. Teachers, business owners, retirees, labor have all decided. Our sons have moved away and our grandchildren will never attend our schools, but the kids who are here are all of our responsibility, period.
If you think Lansing will reach out to fix this problem in time, so our local schools are not further damaged, we don't. We don't trust Lansing for a second. What we do trust, is the people of our own community. Maybe we could do this together, as adults, and help build a platform for our kids to make better choices than we have made. We believe schools are the centerpiece of future growth. We have decided to vote yes on Feb. 26.

Hi All
Does anyone know any information on the forthcoming new tribute album that had been discussed a few months back in
this forum. From memory it even had KISS doing a song.
Speaking of Tribute albums the three released 3-4 years back (called Love in Song,Coming Up and Listen to the Man Said) I really enjoyed, yet hardly anyone on this site made any comment. Does anyone else own these cd's and love them as much as i do?

Dear Jane started it, oh yeah, it's all her fault that I sat here and tried to remember all the brands that I used today and made a timeline of it. Fora brief moment I tried to figure out if I could make a logo-tastic site where one could generate one of these timelines but I soon snapped out of it and just went ahead and photoshopped this little collection of possibly 'exotic' (to non-swedes that is) brands.
Check my timeline out inside.
Now, lets see if you can figure out what's me and what is my daughter. In some cases I couldn't find a logo and just used the item instead.
There might be a logo or two missing, of course, recalling all brands is much harder than it looks - for example I haven't added my bank's logo for the purchases I made after dinner, just the store and the only thing to keep my daughter happy when shopping for food - olive flavoured crisp bread. I know it seems weird but it's actually quite tasty.

Thanks for the link. It's cool looking at a timeline from a non-uk brand user! Seems much more colourful for some reason :-) Which, by the way, brings me to your hair - awesome colour!
So this is what Dabitch's morning commute looks like.
Cool. I'm going to have to do one of these. Maybe next Wednesday. A typical hump day.
Villeroy & Boch. Nice. Surprised to see Shiira there, too.
I was also surprised at how few brands you used, as I always thought we used a lot of brands in a day.
Great idea thought. I'm off to repeat the experiment while on holiday and then again on the daily commute to see the differences - more culture and reading on holiday, more coffee and Apple logos come the working week, me thinks. :)

What's Hot: June 2013
For centuries—from the furniture of ancient Egypt to the lacquerware of 18th-century Japan—craftsmen have relied upon inlaid bone to add surface dazzle. Designers have continued to find fresh ways to feature the material. In the early 20th century, Carlo Bugatti used bone inlay extensively in his eccentric Art Nouveau creations; in the 1970s, Karl Springer applied it to clean-lined tables and lamps.
Alexa Hampton, who frequently incorporates furniture with inlaid bone in her projects, says it adds a luxurious quality without appearing ostentatious. "You want things to be luminous, but not gaggingly so," she says. "Bone inlay hits the sweet spot."
Furniture and objects inlaid with bone are almost always "personality pieces," says Jon Call, who adds that even small items can have a major impact: "They pack a lot of punch." The reason, he adds, is that bone is naturally reflective. "A simple ivory color has so much depth and dimension. I work in neutrals, and bone inlay is perfect for that."
Since launching Mr Call Designs in 2010, Call has developed a reputation for crisp, masculine interiors. His current projects range from a Manhattan bachelor pad to upscale dormitories. mrcalldesigns.com
As head of Mark Hampton, the New York firm founded by her father, Hampton designs classic, inviting rooms. Decorating in Detail, her second book, will be published in November. markhampton.com
"This is a new twist on the classic little Moroccan table," says Hampton. "It refers to it, but updates it with a clean-lined form." Use them for seating, she suggests, or "put two together as a cocktail table." Call pictures the stool in a girl's bedroom or a bathroom—"or any unexpected space where you need additional seating and a little punch of character," he says. 18" w. x 18" d. x 24" h.; $1,625; ankasa.com

Boca Raton's Mizner Park was fashionably crowded October 9 as Lord & Taylor celebrated its grand opening—its only location in Florida—with a VIP party that drew more than 2,000 guests. Among the partygoers sipping, strolling and shopping throughout the two-floor store was Nina Garcia, the creative director of Marie Claire magazine and a judge on Lifetime's Project Runway. Dressed in a strapless blue Valentino jumpsuit, she mingled with guests (including designers Joseph Abboud, Mark Badgley and James Mischka), smiled for pictures and, of course, talked all things fashion. Known for her straightforward critiques on Project Runway, the fashion journalist shared with PBI her take on South Florida style, upcoming trends and experiences on TV—as expected, sugarcoat-free.
Do you come to South Florida often?
Not often enough. I was born in Colombia, and I grew up coming to Miami and Boca. I like it down here. I like going to Bal Harbour, Joe's Stone Crab, South Beach and going fishing in the Keys, like Islamorada.
What's your take on South Florida fashion?
The women down here are very feminine. They have more freedom down here—more freedom with color, with experimenting, with trends. There's beautiful weather here year-round, so women can be sexy and experiment more.
The women in South Florida take pride in the way they put themselves together. They always look fabulous, from the outfit to the hair to the nails to the shoes. They love fashion.
What trends are on your radar this season?
Black and white. Black and white everything: black and white retro, black and white nautical—everything. Also, mixing prints, like florals and stripes.
What trend do you wish would go away?
Angry platform shoes [laughs]. You know what I mean. Take away the anger!
You've been on Project Runway since the first season, and you've always offered honest, upfront critiques. What do you look for when you judge a garment on the show?
I've been dubbed "the tough judge" before. I'm tough because I want to judge in Project Runway with what I'm seeing [in the fashion industry]. And I'm seeing a lot, not just [pieces from] high-end designers but also designers who are just starting out, like the ones on Project Runway. So I like to judge with what I'm seeing. And I'd rather be frank. I don't want to mislead anybody. I am an editor, so I'm just doing my job.
What have been some of your favorite challenges on Project Runway?
All the ones where they were thinking outside the box, like the hardware challenge, the floral challenge or using car parts [to design clothes]. It shows you have to take chances and think outside your comfort zone.
What's next for you?
I've just arrived back from Paris Fashion Week, and I saw a lot there. There's a lot going on [in fashion]: a lot of sporty looks, a lot of artsy looks. Look for the return of flat sandals—the anger's gone!

Local Employment Improves Slightly
Just as the employment picture improves ever-so-slightly around the state and around the nation, it does in southern Oregon as well. For March, the seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for Jackson County dipped to 10.6 percent, compared to 10.7 in February.

Ticks Invade the Trails
How to treat and prevent tick bites

This spring's unseasonably warm weather across the United States has been a boon for trail running and … the tick population.
You've probably plucked these creepy crawlers off your shoe or pried them—sometimes en masse—off your legs after cutting through bushes or tall grass. You may have even found them embedded in your armpit or behind your ear hours after you've run and showered. Unfortunately, the risk posed by these blood-sucking parasites runs deeper than giving you the creeps and an itchy bite: they can host and transmit a number of nasty illnesses.
Says Dr. Bobbi Pritt, an expert in clinical pathology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, "We have already started detecting multiple cases of tick-borne illness around the U.S. including Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis."
Case study
Tick-borne illnesses can put a major cramp in your running, something elite trail runner Dusty Olson of Duluth, Minnesota, knows too well. He located and removed a tick from himself during a run in July 2010 and began feeling soreness in his neck and heaviness in his ankles a few weeks later.

In short: Well marshaled and good flat raceIn full: I enjoyed this one. It was very well marshaled with the traffic, etc. The route was mainly flat with one up hill and of course one down hill! I would probably have liked to have seen a water station slightly earlier and possibly more than one, but then I guess no one was expecting the sun to come out! The venue has free car parking and the facilities were good. The fun run was exceptionally good value for the kids. Well done to the organisers and the marshals - spectacular job.Date of review: October 3, 2010
In short: Deceptively hard course. Each to find, plenty of parking.In full: On paper it looks flat but it is deceptively hard, or maybe I was enjoying the views to much.Date of review: October 5, 2008
In short: fantasticIn full: great race cold you say moreDate of review: October 7, 2006
In short: Excellant event, what organisation.In full: Mostly flat with a couple of mild climbs. First class organisation, marshalling and goody bag.Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: Great day out in the wind. In full: The event had grown since 2005 - but extra numbers were well handled and caterered for by the super organised Newquay Road Runners. The hill on 2 miles doesnt get any easier but I was ready for it this year!Thanks to all connected with Newquay Road Runners. Great event (again) guys. See you in 07. Date of review: October 2, 2006
In short: Super race with great organisationIn full: Well worth the long journey for me and a PB. Well organised with friendly stewards doing a great job organising traffic and shouting encouragement. One evil hill between 2m and 3m, which was a great relief on the way back! My kids did the fun run. I had to crowbar their medals off them when I put them to bed tonight. Great effort Nequay road runners. A great family day and I hope to be back next year.Date of review: October 2, 2005
In short: Well organised event with PB potentialIn full: Only one hill worthy of the name, and that was short and sharp. A nice undulating course, which was largely traffic free except for the first and final miles. Race Marshals were spot-on, efficiently ushering runners across one fairly busy road and around the final roundabout.Date of review: October 2, 2005
