I fell in love with the peoples and cultures of northeastern Europe after I had the good fortune as a student to live and study for extended periods of time in Russia, Finland, and Estonia. It was my interest in languages perhaps that drew me towards learning how the differing linguistic and ethnic groups which in the past have shared these areas as their homeland both cooperated and struggled over the nature of their multiethnic societies.
In my teaching I try to show that the study of history is centered on a dynamic dialogue with the documents and artifacts the past has left us and with other historically-minded people as we search for the most fruitful approaches to understand past societies and eras. This search I believe prepares us better to face current social issues and problems.

Broadcast yourself
Choir and vocal student at Webster City High School will perform music inspired by YouTube songs at this year's variety show.
Andrew Wotherspoon, one of two choir directors at the high school, said the theme allows students to choose songs that emulate their favorite online videos.
"We wanted something fun and original that was pretty open to almost anything someone wanted to do," Wotherspoon said.
The set design reflects that theme. One set will appear as a living room, as if someone turned on their camera and started recording in their house. Another will appear as a recording studio as if it were an actual artist going to work to create a track.
The 150 students in choir and chorus will be performing songs they have worked on. Some will perform in groups, with two show choirs and two jazz vocal groups. Others will perform in smaller groups, duets and individual acts. Billed acts for the show include a group of students performing "Call Me Maybe," a solo acts of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "I'm Yours" and more.
The variety show will be held three times this weekend. This Friday and Saturday, the show will begin at 7 p.m., and will be held on Sunday at 2 p.m. Front row tickets are reserved and must be purchased in advance from the high school office during school hours for $8. General seating may be purchased at the door for $5. This annual event is a fundraiser and the ticket sales will go to music programs at the school.

we had a nice hot summer Pizza Night last night. Great company, interesting conversation, a little wine and a superstar guest Pizziolo. Many lessons learned, invaluable advice taken. Thanks to everyone who was there! the picture is of a very nice margarita with ricotta and Buffalo Mozzarella. it had a great texture. Sorry for the poor photos. my camera was inside and it fogged up when I tried using it. today we made some dough, got a few more great tips, and then ate more pizza at Bettola. bill
Awesome! It would have been great to meet you in person here in Atl. What did you think of Antico's pizza?
I see that in the Antico dough balls, some balls have began to form large bubbles. What is the general thought on the merits or drawbacks of this happening? How do you guys handle this? Pop them?
last night we had pizza night but didn't invite anyone to come. I wanted to practice a little so I just made 10 margaritas in a row. Repetition helps me to seal the lessons I've picked up over the last few months. The oven was very hot, about 860 +/-, the bake times were all about 60-70 seconds. Dough was 34 hour, 8 in balls, 61%, 1.8% ischia, 2.8% salt. I've found that if I get a little lazy and let the temp drop into the 700s, the texture is all wrong. that tender crumb really depends on fast bake times. every detail seems to count! bill

I'm a Scottish Tetley Tea with 2 sugars girl I'm afraid, but I'm madly drawn towards all these fabulous sounding different teas which are available. How do I develop my recalcitrant taste buds? I want to give up milk and sugar anyway. Should I go cold turkey? Which are the best teas to try for someone dipping in a tremulous toetip? I have some white tea - Antlers d'Amours - which I can now drink a whole cup of - just. I am keen to enjoy the healthy benefits of green teas, Matcha and Puerh. Is there any hope?
happy to have found this forum!

PI Sheriff to provide extra patrol for Onaway
ROGERS CITY – Presque Isle County Commissioners approved a deal Friday between Onaway and the county Sheriff to provide extra patrol for the city now that it has eliminated its local police department.
The deal will give the city a minimum of 16 hours per week of patrol, on average, for one year. In exchange, the city will pay $25,000 per year. The contract will renew from year to year, unless either the city or county gives notice of their intent to withdraw.
By eliminating its police department, Onaway officials will cut $82,000 per year from its budget, not including the cost of the agreement with the county. The decision came as city commissioners figured out how to deal with a hole in the city's finances, one that had been plugged in the past by taking money from city street, sewer and water funds.
Eliminating Onaway Police Chief Jim Gibson's job has caused some backlash, and Onaway resident Judy Shaloy sought the help of others in circulating petitions to recall Onaway City Commissioners Chuck Abshagen and Jessie Horrocks. The question will appear on November's ballot in the city.
County Commissioners also had concerns about the plan. Mike Darga said Onaway will no longer have the police coverage it needs, and deputies will have to handle law enforcement in the city whether the county approves the contract or not. In the past, Gibson worked 40 hours a week and handled most law enforcement in the city.
Presque Isle County Sheriff Bob Paschke pointed out the city no longer has a police force, and he believes the contract will work for his force. Any village in the county could approach Paschke with a similar deal, as long as officials were willing to pay for the coverage.
"All the contract is saying, is the city of Onaway wants more hours of patrol," he said. "They're willing to pay for it, and that's what we're going to do. They want it, basically, at night-time hours, which we can do."
County and city officials negotiated for some time over the contract language, and Commission Board Chairman Carl Altman said he is concerned it isn't clear enough. The contract calls for the patrols to be primarily at night. He believed the word "primarily" had previously been omitted, and said there seemed to be a disconnect between the county's end of the discussion and the city's.
Paschke assured Altman his deputies could make the agreement work, and said regularly scheduled patrols deputies conduct currently will count toward the 16-hour minimum. Both he and Commissioner Steve Lang reminded Altman the county has the ability to get out of the contract if need be.
Altman also voiced his concern over whether $25,000 would cover the costs for the extra patrol, pointing out that wages for two deputies for a year of extra patrol totalled $32,000. This wouldn't cover vehicle costs, retirement or health care obligations, among other costs.
"With our budget being what it was this year, we're zeroed out on our budget as well, and I don't want to see the city of Onaway's budget problems become the county's budget problems," he said.
Ultimately, Darga said he wished the city had been able to work out a deal with Gibson, but thought the county should accept the deal.
"I'm still concerned about their welfare over there," he said. "Regardless of how I vote today, I'm hoping maybe in the near future we can get things ironed out between both parties."

Hello, I'm still slowly finding my way around pu'er, and have read a lot and learnt a lot from this forum in particular, so first, a quick thanks!
What I'm trying to understand is this: from what I've read, until the '70s there was no such thing as shu. Pu'er was all sheng. Am I also right that people didn't usually drink young sheng -- they waited until it was aged?
Now, I've seen online lots of people writing about drinking young sheng. Of course, some of that would be people wanting to taste a tea young, to see how it's going to taste once it's old. But, for pleasure, do lots of people find themselves drinking much more young sheng instead of aged sheng? And is this because aged sheng is too expensive -- ie they would more often than not prefer to drink aged over young if they could?
For someone like me, who enjoys the limited amount of aged sheng (samples) I've drunk but can't afford to buy lots of 15 or 20 year old tea, it seems I have two choices for drinking now: young sheng or shu, right?
Also, does shu have a bad reputation? I know there's usually going to be a big quality difference between shu and properly aged sheng ... but I was talking to a UK vendor recently who sells a range of Chinese teas and although he had a fair few (loose) sheng pu'ers, he didn't have any shu and was surprised I asked about it, implying that most people who knew anything about pu'er would avoid shu like the plague.

General form: Ax + By + C = 0
In previous chapters from lower grades, we discussed all about Linear Equations and Linear Relations, and we know from here that these equations when plotted in a graph would show a line that could either go up or down diagonally since the values of the ordered pairs show a linear relationship. We learned all about the general form of the linear equation which is Ax + By + C = 0 and the slope intercept form which is the y = mx + b. We also learned that the slope, is basically the rise and run of the equation, and b is the y intercept, which is computed by letting x be equal to zero.
Now in this chapter we will discuss Linear Functions which would basically cover all what we have learned about the Linear Relations and Equations. We will study about the distance formula and the mid-point formula for the first two parts of this chapter. In the next few chapters we will review the basic concepts we have discussed before like the slope formula, the slope-intercept form, the general form and then we would be introduced to the slope point formula. We would also learn about the rate of change, which is not only used in the Linear Functions but also in other math concepts.
This chapter would also discuss applications of graphing linear functions depending on the given values that we are going to be given like solving problems that involve graphing linear functions and the parallel and perpendicular line in linear functions.
In this chapter we will learn that parallel lines have identical slopes, that in able to find the parallel line of a linear function, we would need to use the point slope formula that would be discussed in the early parts of the chapter. Perpendicular lines on the other hand would need the negative reciprocals of the slope to find the line that would be perpendicular to the linear function that we have.
In the last part of the chapter we will get to look at the applications of Linear functions like solving for the average rate of change of population, calculating the cost of production, determining hourly rates and more. There are also free online games that you could try to see how linear functions look like.
General form: Ax + By + C = 0
Determine the General form of the following line equations:
Rewrite the following equations into general form
Given the slope and a point of the line, write the equation in standard form
Given two points through a line of question, find the general form
Find the slope and the -int from the following general form

Hello all~
I just wanted to ask everyone how they measured water volume? I didn't have a graduated cylinder to measure water volume with but I did have a scale. I remembered that the weight of water is typically around 1 gram per ml so it made it very easy to measure fairly precise amounts. It's really useful when trying to compare exact ratios in different sized pots or simply when measuring the volume of a pot. I know many people prefer a more natural and intuitive approach and certainly I would agree when I am drinking normally but once in a while it's fun to let out my tea-scientist side a little too haha.
I know there are a few people here who are more scientifically inclined than me so please correct me if this method is way off but so far it appears to be very precise. Not only is it precise bit also nice because I can simply put the pot on the scale, zero it out, and then pour the exact amount of water I want on a given infusion.

Eugene E. Mohart
Eugene E. "Moose" Mohart, 86, of Silver Creek, NY passed away Thursday, December 27, 2012.
He was born on August 15, 1926 in Silver Creek, NY, the son of the late Edward and Ida (Held) Mohart.
Moose worked for George Bentges Distributors, Owl Homes, Town of Hanover Boat Launch and was retired from Peter Cooper Corporation. He served in the U.S. Navy during WW II as a Pharmacists Mate 3rd Class from 1944-1946.
He is survived by his wife Judy (McGee) Mohart, whom he married on June 12, 1954; a daughter Sheila (Rob) Steinorth of Hilton, NY; one grandson Brandon (Christina) Steinorth of Newfield, NY; one great- grandson Noah; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Kenny and Penny (McGee) Canfield; sister-in-law Betty Mohart; very special family friend Nancy Hornburg and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Virginia and his brother, Milt.
Moose played baseball as a pitcher and 1st baseman on the Silver Creek Horseshoes along with his brother Milt. The team was managed by their father Ed Mohart. He was a Mason in the Silver Lodge for 42 years, a member of the American Legion, and one of the founding members of the Silver Creek Ambulance Squad, in which he was a member for 15 years. Also a member for 58 years in Silver Creek Hose Company #1, and a member of the Concord Fife and Drum Corps.
Proud to be an original member of the Parkway Bunch, he liked sitting on the front porch and driving down to the Motor Boat Club to "check out" the lake. He enjoyed traveling, most recently to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore and Washington, D.C. to visit the WW II Memorial. His favorite place was Disney World which he had visited 26 times.
Friends may call at the Hole-Parker Funeral Chapel, 160 Central Avenue, Silver Creek, N.Y., on Saturday, January 12, 2013 from 11 A.M.- 2 P.M. where a memorial service will follow at 2 P.M. Please join the family in a celebration of Moose's life at the Silver Creek Fireman's Club, 23 Jackson St., Silver Creek, N.Y. following the service.

Grimm takes first gold medal in kayak
BEIXIAOYING TOWN, China (AP) Togo's Benjamin Boukpeti made Olympic history on Tuesday with a bronze medal in the single kayak.
Not only was he the first black man ever to medal in a slalom event, according to the International Canoe Federation, he is the first athlete ever to win a medal for Togo in any Summer Games.
Alexander Grimm of Germany, ranked No. 3 in the world, won the gold medal in a combined time of 171.70 using a pair of clean, fast runs. Fabien Lefevre of France won the silver in 173.30
"I really don't know yet what this quite represents," Boukpeti said though a translator.
Boukpeti kissed his fists before he thrust them into the air on the medal stand and hopped up and down several times before the medal was placed around his neck, his parents watching nearby.
"I tried to give people some entertainment," he said. "I tried to make them vibrate a little."
Boukpeti was the last competitor to negotiate his one-man kayak through the strategically placed gates, and the crowd was behind him from the start. His ride was clean and his combined time was 173.45 seconds.
He hugged and kissed his French mother and Togolese father after he crossed the finish line and said, "They showed me it was possible."
Boukpeti speaks French and lives in Toulouse, France. He was born in France and only visited Togo, in West Africa, once as a young boy.
He snapped his paddle in the foamy water when he slammed it in exultation, forcing him to splash his hands around to get to his waiting fans.
This celebration was for Togo.
Boukpeti developed through a program in France, but shoulder injuries ended his career there. The 27-year-old represented Togo when he competed in the 2004 Athens Games.
Grimm ducked and weaved around the gates. Every flawless run - without even the tip of the paddle touching the gate - earned a "wonderful!" or two giant thumbs up on the scoreboard.
"I've got a massive party ahead of me," he said.
Michal Martikan of Slovakia won the gold medal in single canoe slalom with a time of 176.65, his first since winning in Atlanta in 1996.
Martikan won silver in Sydney and Athens, finishing second both times behind France's Tony Estanguet, who finished a surprising ninth in his first run on the whitewater course in Beijing and did not qualify for the finals.
David Florence of Britain won silver in 178.61 and Robin Bell of Australia earned bronze in 180.59.
American Benn Fraker advanced to the final and finished sixth.
Martikan was only 17 when he won in Atlanta. Top ranked by the ICF, his combined time of 176.65 seconds was nearly two seconds better than Florence's time.
Estanguet, the French flag-bearer at the opening ceremony, couldn't believe he didn't win.
"It was a very bad race for me," he said. "It's very difficult for me to explain why I was out."
Estanguet was an outspoken critic of the Chinese government and said earlier this year: "The situation in China is certainly intolerable." He also said it was "unbearable for us sports people."
Has he changed his mind?
"No, but these games can be a great games," he said. "China has been very motivated to welcome these Olympic Games."

NOTE: Sha'Dare McNeal (Fallbrook, Calif.) and Annie Luhrsen (Wheaton, Ill.) are members of the U.S. Women's Junior National Team competing in the 2008 NORCECA Women's Junior Continental Championship at Saltillo, Mexico. The U.S. opens competition against Dominican Republic on July 22.
At the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista
19 girls but only 12 can go - you do the math.
We all arrived at the OTC on July 8 and had no idea what to expect. The past two weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster, whether it's being homesick, selected to the team, or seeing girls you have bonded with leave. Our time at the OTC was fun and exciting, which made for new experiences. We were surrounded by elite athletes, many who are going to Beijing inspiring us all to give our best when we stepped on the court.
Playing with the best volleyball players has also made us as individuals work harder because we are constantly getting pushed to higher levels of play. From our hard work in the gym, we were able to make a strong team bond on the court. Our bond has also extended off the court and we have become really close to the girls that were strangers to us two weeks ago.
In our spare time, we were able to go shopping, see movies and hangout at the beach. Last Friday, we even started practice early to see the governator, Arnold Swarnegger. He was really cool and even took a team photo with us.
Some side notes of the OTC
Food was amazing; woke up only to eat the pancakes and waffles
Had a BBQ one night. It was a killer; there were ribs, huge prezels, baked beans, and games on the lawn.
Every day in the cafeteria we were in for a surprise with this guy who was such a competitor. He bet his fellow athletes on impossible things to eat or drink. One night he bet someone to eat a spoonful of cinnamon.
ATT Athlete Connection Center
Provided entertainment for all of the athletes
Had computers, huge screen TV;s, ping-pong, and of course, guitar hero!
The alarms went off at the fresh hour of 4:45 a.m. Pacific Time. Both our grumpiness and sleepiness went away when we stepped outside and saw our huge limo bus. The two-hour ride went by quickly because everyone fell asleep about 20 minutes into the trip.
We got through security and were able to check in with little difficulty. Walking through the airport was interesting to say the least. Decked out in USA gear, many people mistook us for the Olympic team and wondered why we were headed to Houston and not Beijing.
Although the flight seemed long, there were no difficulties and we arrived in Houston safely. Our layover was relatively quick and before long, we were flying to a new country. Finally, after a long day of travel, we arrived in Saltillo. Mexico. The rest of the night was spent settling in, a quick dinner, and getting to bed early.
Monday, July 21
This morning, we woke up for breakfast and then headed off to our first practice. Although adjusting to the time change and being in a new country was tough at first, we think that we're finally ready to get on the court and compete. Our first match is tomorrow night against the Dominican Republic. Wish us luck!!
Some side notes on our travels
Our plane from Houston to Saltillo was so small that as we were landing we saw a rainbow outside the plane. It was pretty cool!
More from our teammates tomorrow.

As the housing crunch continues, the efforts of Catholic charitable agencies to help those affected have been documented in this CNS story and this one. But the church is no Johnny-come-lately to the cause of finding "a dignified home" for everyone, as evidenced by this story in the Denver Catholic Register about the 40th anniversary of Archdiocesan Housing, which now operates 20 affordable-housing properties in the Denver area and in Wyoming.
A history of helping find 'a dignified home'

I was recently hired at my local Teavana, and after looking around I've seen an overwhelming amount of bad rep. My personal experience at my particular store, though, has been very good. I have a manager who was my favorite person to talk to as a customer, is incredibly knowledgeable about tea, and whom I respect very much. She's goes out of her way to treat her employees well, and makes a point of showing us how the sales method can be utilized in a way that is not pushy and has the customer's best experience in mind [and she does it very well, I've never gone home with anything I didn't want or out of my budget].
I've brought up and discussed with her some of the stories I've read hear and elsewhere, because I find them concerning. I just left a job that treated me poorly, and I can't find enthusiasm to sell something I don't know if I can believe in. She believes in this company whole-heartedly, though-- even if not necessarily all of her supervisors/fellow managers, so it's given me a bit of hope that I can find a similar faith in my new employer.
So, can anyone tell me a good experience?
Besides that, I would also be very interested in hearing more information on the criticism of the "top of the crop" claim. I've seen a lot of people call the tea quality mediocre, and would like to hear more about the opinion. I think it is most definitely a great introduction of the American public to loose leaf, but I can't say I'm enough of a connoisseur yet to really place it on a scale of worst to best.

I bought a motherlode in early 2004.Almost a decade later, I still use the same exact motherlode. You are probably thinking, it is faded and gross? Au contraire. This puppy can be thrown in a front loading washer and comes out looking brand new. The only thing that has deteriorated on the pack is the velcro straps ends fraying and one of the buckle clasps broke.This backpack has been with me absolutely everywhere and not used politely or sparingly. From back country skiing in Japan, ice climbing in Argentina, wandering in the desert at burning man, sailing on the open Atlantic, etc. It literally has come with me on every trip I have been on for almost a decade. It is the first thing I look for when I go on a trip along with my passport, sunglasses, and iPhone. If you are looking for the ultimate day-to-day adventure pack. You found it.

The Most Complete Pack I've Owned.
By Josh the Hiker
from New Jersey
Comments about CamelBak AUC Motherlode-Discontinued Backpack:
This is the best pack I have ever owned. The practicality of this pack can not be understated. Easily enough room for an over night trip in the woods. Could probably get a full weekend trip out of it too. Ive only had the pack for about a week, but I can tell is sturdy as a rock. The quality of the zippers and fabric are of the highest order. If you are on the edge of getting one....Do It.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best Pack I've Ever Owned!
By Jiu Jitsu Fighter
from Ladera Ranch, CA, USA
I love this backpack! I've owned it for 3 years now and use it all the time for everything from carry-on luggage (use it as my second personal item) to camping trips and overnight road trips. It is still in perfect condition with nothing broken or torn. Most backpacks end up with faulty zippers and come apart at the seams after as much use as I put this pack through. Not this one... it's made extremely well. I highly recommend it.

A brilliant bag. One that you don't want to have to replace. Filling reservoir full may make it tougher to put bigger things in. Don't leave it unattended as everyone desires and I made that mistake. = stolen.... Not paying for that again!!!

Excellent pack
By ZC746
from X, Canada
I've had this pack for approx. 1 year now. I needed a bag that would have a large bladder, plus a fair amount of storage space inside it, and it doesn't disappoint in the least. I've had this pack underwater, tossed out of a speed boat with me attached, countless hours on my back in a chopper, through the mud, dirt, trees, snow, ice, etc., and it's still as good as the day I got it.If you need a pack that you can live out of for a few days, or just something that'll carry a lot of your gear, or even clothes for a weekend trip, get this, you'll never be disappointed.

Let me start out with I have owned many backpacks (multiple Underamour, multiple Oakley, Alice, and current USGI pack)but this one is by far the best pack I have ever owned! The hydration area is big enough to fit an extra bladder which works perfectly for extended bike rides or hikes. There are so many pockets and there is a lot of real estate on the sides and on the front to add extra pouches, this way I can carry extra mags, food, cameras,etc. This is a great pack and it is worth every penny!

Another way for city dwellers to improve the quality of your water is to "shower" it under the gorgeous rays of the full moon. Just place as much water as you can under in glass containers/jars in an area that you know is going to be lit by the full moon and it will be more yin, and definitively sweeter. This will certainly improve the quality of your tea.
Yesterday, I had breakfast followed by a good session of ripe puerh and the infusions were all fantastic, a lot more sweeter and the water brought up some hidden notes that were totally missed in an earlier brew using "non-exposed" filtered water.

Still no sign of missing hiker from Massachusetts
Forest rangers are continuing to search for Scott Haworth, a Massachusetts man who is believed to have gone missing while hiking in the Dix Mountain Wilderness Area.
Haworth, of Chicopee, Mass., was last seen at the Valley Grocery in Keene Valley on Sept. 5. State police later found his car, a 2002 Ford Escort, parked at the Round Pond Trailhead to the Dix Mountain Wilderness on Sept. 10.
Haworth was last seen at work on Aug. 25, where he is employed at a bulk mail center in Springfield, according to Chicopee police. He was reported missing a week later after not showing up to work.
In the days after his car was found at the Round Pond Trailhead, state police and forest rangers worked together to search the Dix Mountain Wilderness. The state police Special Operations Response Team, state police helicopters and a K-9 unit were used in the search.
As of last Sunday, the operation was scaled back, although not ended.
"We just have forest rangers on individual assignments, to check certain drainages or certain areas," said state Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman Dave Winchell.
State police spokeswoman Jennifer Fleishman said no new clues have been found and investigators are still working the case.
She said police are still asking for the public's help.
Anyone who may have seen Haworth, have any information about him or any items that may belong to the lost hiker can call the New York State Police in Ray Brook at 518-897-2000.

Ok...I'll begin again...
I think Solo Paul is as good or better than Beatle Paul,(albeit different in some ways) if not for the simple fact that he proved that he CAN and DID write amazing music on his own.
I agree with ANGRY...Ram, BOTR, FP and CC are proof positive regarding Paul's genious. (Let me add McCartneyII, On The Way...simply wonderful!!)
Paul and John was obviously a match made in heaven, a once in a lifetime or even longer, there can be no doubt, but Paul is...well...Paul is freakin' Paul McCartney!!!!!!!!

In Years Past
In 1913, the Adelphian society of the Unitarian Church in Jamestown entertained about 35 couples at a dancing party in Garage Hall on Monday evening. The hall was prettily decorated in the national colors and flags were used in profusion with bunting and crepe paper. A.C. Bratt's orchestra furnished an excellent program of dance music beginning at 9 o'clock and continuing until 1 in the morning. Refreshments consisting of punch and wafers were served during the evening.
One of the first of the Wagner-Smith factory investigation commission bills, Assemblyman Edward D. Jackson's measure, prohibiting night work for women, passed the senate in Albany the previous night and would next go to the governor. During its investigation the Wagner-Smith commission was responsible for revelations which showed in some cases women worked all night while their husbands remained home and looked after the children. The Jackson bill provided that no woman should be employed or permitted to work in any factory in this state before 6 o'clock a.m. or after 10 p.m. of any day.
In 1938, slightly scarred but otherwise not much the worse for wear, the public servants rallied bravely this day from their annual ribbing at the hands of legislative correspondents in Albany. The correspondents pulled no punches as they rollicked through their show, "Sock-a-Bye-Baby," a burlesque of New York politics and statecraft. With gay music and pointed ditties, the writers parodied the gubernatorial fight in prize ring language and sent Robert H. "Bustem" Jackson out of the scramble feet first, leaving Governor "Herbie" Lehman the "winnah and still champion." Jackson, despite strenuous conditioning by Manager "Yusell" Roosevelt, never even got into the ring
Lengthy investigation into a nitroglycerin explosion which killed two men and demolished the Eastern Producers Glycerin plant near Bradford, Pa., had failed to throw any light on the cause of the disaster. Dead were Dan H. McQueeney, president of the company and Ralph Mong, shooter for the firm. The blast, which left little of the single story frame factory intact, could have been caused in "one of a hundred different ways," stated Deputy Coroner George Lull. Between 600 and 800 quarts of prepared explosive probably were in the plant at the time, it was estimated. It was believed nobody else was near the site at the time of the blast. It was believed the men were in the ?making? room of the plant as they had intended to make four runs of more than 250 quarts each of explosive.
In 1963, a snip of a red ribbon at 10 a.m. officially opened Jamestown's 300-car Main Street Parking Ramp, following a dedication breakfast in the Hotel Jamestown. Approximately 100 businessmen, city and ramp officials attended ceremonies culminating more than three years work in providing central downtown parking in the $800,000 structure. A total of 1,576 cars and more than 6,000 persons wound through the four-level building at a public "drive-through." Former Mayor Carl F. Sanford, a guest at the ceremonies, said he hoped the ramp project was "not an end but a beginning of future similar projects for the good of this community."
Mystery continued to shroud the 18-hour disappearance of a boy who was found at the home of an 87-year-old neighbor in Olean. Approximately 500 persons took part in the hunt for the youngster. Five-year-old John Anderson Jr., walked down the stairs from the second floor of the home of Mrs. John Murphy while her daughter-in-law was talking to her. He had not been mistreated. The boy's father said he thought his son had been "lured into Mrs. Murphy's home." and was "locked in a room while the search was taking place." The boy had gone to play in the snow Friday after he returned from his morning kindergarten class. His mother reported him missing four hours later.
In 1988, the Albany headquarters of the state Department of Transportation had backed the design of a Route 394 improvement project that included a five-lane segment in West Ellicott. Despite the reaffirmation of the design, Dr. Maurice B. Furlong of the Committee for the Preservation of Route 394 told The Post-Journal, "We're not going to let them do it. We're going to the federal highway department. In fact, we already have. We're meeting with Stan Lundine next week as the next step."
Gov. Mario Cuomo repeated his pledge not to run for president and called on Democratic candidates to support the man who would take the most delegates into the convention. "Whoever it is, make him the candidate," Cuomo said. "If Mike Dukakis has 41 percent, get everybody together in a room and say, "Jesse, Gore, Gephardt, you came close, but Mike's the candidate." Why is 51 percent the magic number? Let's pick the guy who's ahead after California," Cuomo said at a news conference in his Manhattan office.

Norma, your Buddy's pies are looking great.How much dough are you using for an 8x10?I didn't open the dough ball so to speak. I dropped the ball into the pan and let it flow for 6 hours. I'm going to give it a little more time next week.I liked 100% white cheddar on the edges (piled higher than in the center) and WM mozz with a little cheddar in the center.CL
Raymond told me they also have a non curling pepperoni and I asked if the Margherita coarse sliced pepperoni is a curling pepperoni and he said he doesnt think it was. I told him my friend uses Vermont Smoked pepperoni in his wood-fired pizzas, so I know what curling pepperonis are. I dont even know why Raymond mentioned the non curling pepperoni slices.
I also thought of just dropping the dough into the pan and letting it either flow, or slowing pressing it out by hand. That is what my friend Trenton Bills does, because he says the dough is too sticky. He told me he uses his knuckles to gently press the dough in the pans. I am trying to open the dough and temper it as fast as I can if I want to make the Buddy's clones at market.
You have at least two friends using Vermont Smoked pepperoni in their wood-fired pizzas. Raymond may have thought you wanted non-curling pepperoni. It might be what he automatically assumes. In my experience working for Hormel, the VAST majority of operators want a non-curling, non-greasing pepperoni. CL
I forgot to post that Shawn told me over the phone that the target amount for one ounce is 16 slices, but it can vary between 15-17 slices. Norma
Norma,It is encouraging to see that you were able to bake the latest round of Buddy's clone pizzas in your oven at market without having to go to great lengths to get them to come out right. It is also interesting to see that the type of oven and bake temperatures can vary quite a bit yet get good results. For example, Buddy's uses an infrared conveyor oven and a bake temperature of about 495 degrees F and a bake time of around 11-12 minutes; Via 313 uses a Bakers Pride countertop deck oven and a bake temperature of around 525 degrees F and a bake time of around 15 minutes; in your case, you used the upper part of your regular Bakers Pride deck oven and a bake temperature of 536 degrees F and a bake time of slightly less than 12 minutes. To add to these examples, yesterday I was reading a writeup of Loui's Pizza at http://www2.metrotimes.com/food/review.asp?rid=22572 in which it was reported that Loui's is "able to achieve that perfect char because their special pizza ovens reach a higher-than-normal temperature". I have no idea as to what that special oven is or its temperature but it does not appear that those factors are inhibiting to making a decent pizza. Another positive on this score is that you have demonstrated that it is possible to make decent clones in your home electric oven and in your mother's home gas oven. Moreover, it does not seem to matter all that much how how the dough is made, managed and fermented. Whether one uses oil or a solid fat in the pan also does not seem to matter all that much. As usual, I have some questions:1. Have you developed a preference among the many Buddy's clone pizzas you have attempted to date and, if so, which one(s)? For example, do you prefer a cold fermentation over an emergency type fermentation? Do you prefer one type of cheese or blend over another? One type of oil or fat to use in the pans? Or maybe something else? 2. What would you want to see in the way of results so that you could say that the pizzas were "perfect"?3. Did you weigh the second and third pizzas after baking?FYI, for the first Buddy's clone dough, the spacing of the two poppy seeds as of the time the dough came out of your deli case suggests that the dough doubled in volume over the course of its initial brief time (15 minutes) at room temperature and its subsequent cold fermentation from 9:20 AM on Monday to 1:58 PM yesterday, or a total elapsed time of about 29 hours. That was just about perfect. By 3:03 PM yesterday, after the temper of that first dough ball, I estimate that the dough ball rose by about another 25%. Also just about perfect. As for the finished baked pizza, based on the information you provided (a final weight of 1.2888 pounds vs. an unbaked weight of 21.77 ounces), I estimate that its loss during baking was 5.28%. This number is interesting but it may not tell us a lot since your pizza was quite a bit different than a basic Buddy's pizza. Actually, I was hoping that you would make a Buddy's clone with brick cheese and pepperoni so that I could compare that data with the data that dicepackage gave us for one of his real Buddy's pepperoni pizza, and in the context of a professional oven rather than a standard home oven. An even truer test would be an emergency dough version at market using your Bakers Pride deck oven. Even then, some differences would remain because of the different types of ovens and bake temperatures and times and the likelihood of different losses during baking.Peter
If you count them, most brands will tend towards the thicker (lower slice count) end of the range. They sell more that way.
Craig,I didn't know that most brands lower slice count end of of the range, meaning they sell more that way. I am only familiar with what I normally use.Thanks for the information! Norma
Norma,If Trenton Bill used the PizzaHog clone dough formulation that I converted to baker's percents at Reply 32 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg219524.html#msg219524, with a hydration value of 92.36%, then the dough would have easily flowed to fill the pan. However, based on the actual ingredient quantities that Trenton Bill gave you, the formulation had a much lower hydration, as indicated in Reply 13 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg218034.html#msg218034. In retrospect, Pizzahog has to be given a great deal of credit for what he did to come up with a credible Buddy's clone. Hopefully, at some point we may be able to zero in even more closely to a real Buddy's dough formulation. Peter
Norma,Thank you very much for the latest information on the Margherita #38616-31329 coarse grind pepperoni.Actually, the information on serving size and number of slices per serving size you previously gave me was sufficient for me to do some calculation as to the weight of pepperoni slices on a Buddy's 4-square pizza. However, I wanted to be absolutely certain that the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni slices were smaller but thicker than the most common sizes that I have seen at retail and from my research on the matter. The 35mm diameter size that you got from Armour Eckrich converts to about 1.42" (36 x 0.03937 = 1.42"). You might recall that one of our members reported that the pepperoni slices used on Buddy's pizzas were about the size of a quarter. Since the diameter of a quarter is about an inch, the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni slices are actually almost 1/2" larger in diameter. The 44mm slice is about 1.73".While I was awaiting your update on this matter, I went back to the Buddy's Nutrition webpage at http://www.buddyspizza.com/nutrition.asp and did a comparison of the nutrition information of a basic Buddy's cheese slice and a basic Buddy's cheese and pepperoni slice. I assumed that the only difference between a Buddy's cheese pizza and a Buddy's cheese and pepperoni pizza was the pepperoni slices. I also assumed that there are 20 pepperoni slices on a Buddy's 4-square pizza, or an average of 5 slices per square. I got the total slice number from the photo given at http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/08Mf788bNv6xv/340x.jpg. That is the only photo that I have seen with the pepperoni slices assembled on the pizza before the cheese is added on top of the pepperoni slices. For purposes of my calculations, I assumed that there were 16 pepperoni slices per ounce. On that basis, 20 slices weigh 1.25 ounces. Using the above information together with the Margherita Nutrition Facts that you provided at Reply 283 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg223137.html#msg223137, I was able to effectively bridge the nutrition information between a Buddy's cheese slice and a Buddy's cheese and pepperoni slice. The factors I looked at included Total Fat, Sat Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium and Protein. There are rounding factors that I could not account for but I believe that the comparison I conducted supports the conclusion that Buddy's is using 20 slices of the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni for a 4-square pizza. This does not rule out the possibility that Buddy's is using a larger size pepperoni slice in one or more of its locations since the number of such slices per serving size is similar to the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni product. The slices would be larger and thinner but weigh the same in total. I have no evidence that Buddy's is using the larger size pepperoni slices.Peter
Thanks for explaining about how much the dough fermented by looking at the pictures and timelines. I did post at Reply 291 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg223345.html#msg22334 5 that the first dough ball was left to temper at room temperature from 1:58 PM when it was taken out of the deli case, until 3:03 PM in the plastic container. Did you get that mixed-up that the dough had doubled in what you posted as 15 minutes, or is it me that is confused? I am not sure I am understanding that.
I didnt know you wanted me to try brick cheese and pepperoni on an attempted Buddys clone yesterday. I was going to put pepperoni (Steves stick brand) under the cheese on that attempt, but got too busy to cut the stick. If you want me to I can try the brick cheese and Steves pepperoni next week I can. I dont know if I am ready to try an emergency dough at market. I am pretty busy in the mornings without Steve, since I am the one that has to do everything. If you think I could make the emergency dough at home, maybe I could try that.
I still dont know how you do the calculations from Nutrition Facts and go from there to clone a pizza, but find it very interesting. How you effectively bridge the nutrition information between a Buddys cheese slice and a Buddys cheese and pepperoni slice is amazing.
If I try another Buddys attempt next week with pepperoni I guess I will go with 1.25 ounces of pepperoni no matter what kind I use, since that is the number you posted. Do you have a preference on what brand I try?

After 4 years in China, I am back in Singapore for good. My shopping for pu erh will now be selective and limited, most probably in KL and Beijing.
The hoard of teas and accessories arrived safely last week and will be stored in the attic, which is about 10 feet above the 2nd level of the house.
Here are some pictures of the storage area. I've yet to design the access to the attic (an industrial ladder is now used) and the shelving for the teas. I do not know if a cupboard or open shelves should be used, and if the tea can be affected by too much natural light in open shelving - I am grateful for any advise on this.
I am also concerned about the higher temperature 25-30 C and humidity 65-70% up in the attic compared to cooler conditions at ground level. I may need to instal a wall dehumidifier or air con the area.
More pictures to follow.
Thank you for any advise on the open shelving vs cupboards and temperature/humidity conditions.

School Board Recognition Month
January is School Board Recognition Month, and Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District is joining 552 local and 56 intermediate school districts across the state to thank these community volunteers for their untiring dedication to public education.
"Serving on a school board has been described as the 'toughest volunteer job in America,'" said Wendy Warmuth, superintendent of Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District. "Yet Michigan's public school board members dedicate countless personal hours to attending meetings, school functions, and hours of preparation for the decisions they make."
"On top of that, many pursue their own professional development to stay on top of the ever-changing education landscape," Warmuth said. "Collectively, school board members in Michigan have spent about 7,000 hours attending training and professional development. They're dedicated individuals who are committed to the continuing success of our schools and students."
It's an exciting and challenging time in education.
"We proudly join educators and community members in saluting these education advocates as they provide vision and leadership for student achievement, academic programs, district funding and school facilities," said Warmuth. "They preserve the core of our democracy-public education."
The various districts in our area will honor board members with their own celebrations. The men and women serving in our area, along with the district they serve are as follows:
School board members for 2012-13

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
The crowd at Whittier College's Memorial Stadium erupted in cheers and beamed with admiration Friday morning when the College celebrated its 110th Commencement Ceremony.
Whittier Scholars Program major and Music minor Emily Baeza of Montebello, CA, delivered the student address to the more than 350 graduates of the Class of 2013.
"When you receive this diploma, Poets, you are accepting the challenge to not only pass on the golden character of our alma mater, but to listen to the needs of the world around us," Baeza said.
"I do not know the secret to success, but because of our support system at this wonderful institution and the qualities bestowed upon us under the guidance of our mentors, I know that many more achievements are to come."
After Baeza's address, the audience witnessed Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Sonia Nazario become an honorary Poet, as she was conferred with a doctorate of humane letters (L.H.D.) by President Sharon Herzberger.
Nazario is best known for her national bestselling book, Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with His Mother, which tells the true story of an Honduran boy's struggle to find his mother in the United States.
From the stage, Nazario spoke of the importance of determination and persistence in combating whatever obstacles a person may face because of his or her nationality, gender, or financial status.
"Like most things, determination—persistence—is learned," she explained. "You have to try something hard enough, long enough, see yourself push through a barrier to have faith you can do it with the next barrier, too."
Nazario continued, "You have already overcome many obstacles. Nearly a third [of you] are the first in your family to go to college. Four of five came here with financial help. A third are Latino. More than half are students of color. You are going to have many moments of doubt and challenges after you leave the campus of this great College today and start the next chapters of your life."
The honorary Poet asked graduates to remember her parting words: "When doubt envelops you, dig deep. Find your ganas. Plow forward."
In her Charge to the Class of 2013, President Herzberger lauded the many accomplishments of the graduates sitting before her and challenged them to make the most of their Whittier education.
As an end to the College's 110th Commencement Ceremony, the president led graduates in a bellow of "Go Poets!," shaking Memorial Stadium one last time.

The key question is how concentrated will the radioactive contamination be.reactors to keep them cool. Thousands of tons of radioactively contaminated water have then been released from the Fukushima complex into the ocean. And even though the Japanese this week stopped a leak of highly radioactive material from the badly damaged Reactor No. 2, the water used to cool the reactor cores continues to flow into the sea. In addition, atmospheric fallout from the damaged reactors is contaminating the ocean as prevailing winds carry radioactivity out over the Pacific.
How the radiation accumulates depends on the degree of exposure and half-life of the element.they are for humans. Once in the body — whether inhaled or absorbed through gills or other organs — radiation can make its way into the bloodstream, lungs, and bony structures, potentially causing death, cancer, or genetic damage. Larger animals tend to more sensitive to radiation than smaller ones. Yet small fish, mollusks and crustaceans, as well as plankton and phytoplankton, can absorb radiation, said Poston. How the radiation accumulates depends on the degree of exposure — dose and duration — and the half-life of the element, said Hei.

Splits, spares and strikes: Holiday Doubles tournament easy to enter
If you're a league bowler at Superior Lanes in Marquette or Country Lanes in Ishpeming, you may have heard something about a "holiday" tournament at the lanes during the last week or two.
It's an effort by the Marquette County U.S. Bowling Congress Association board to hold a fairly inexpensive event that anybody even without much extra time can participate in.
This is the third year for the Holiday Doubles, which continues through Friday.
The genesis of this tournament came from some brainstorming by the board – of which I'm a member – about how to get better participation in the annual association tournament usually held during mid-winter.
As an event mandated by the national USBC organization, there are a few limits on how we can run the association tourney. We figured by running another tournament, the Holiday Doubles, we could make it exactly how we wanted.
The major difference between this event and a regular tournament is that your league scores double up to also count as a Holiday Doubles entry.
Each night, you can pick anyone from your league as a partner. Each partner pays $5.
Handicap is 100 percent, so in effect it's a pins-over-average race without any special advantage for higher-average bowlers. In addition, all of the entry fee is returned in prizes, since there's virtually no overhead, with one in three entries making the prize list.
There's just a few limits on the total number of partners you can have, though I know multiple partners are allowed each night.
Sign up before or right at the start of bowling, and scores will be reported from league recaps into the tourney standings.
Dave Stevenson, who compiling the standings, sent me the standings through the first week and a half.
Jeff Miller and Scott Salminen, bowling in the Tuesday Major League at Country, were in first place with 1,591. Stevenson also provided me the cutoff total to cash, which right now is 34th place out of the current 104 entries, and is at 1,435.
That's only 55 pins over average, considering that tournament handicap is figured from 230. With 100 percent handicap, that means your average plus your handicap always equal 230. If you and your partner hit average every game, you'll have six games of 230, which totals to 1,380.
Now let's look at those Mining Journal Bowlers of the Week for two weeks, Nov. 15-21 and Nov. 22-28, whose performances would have made them awfully popular in the Holiday Doubles, if only you knew they were going to bowl that well beforehand:
Starting with Nov. 15-21, Dave Kangas eked out a two-pin victory for the men, all of them seniors, with 125 pins over his 180 average in the Tuesday Major at Country with 665 on games of 190, 241 and 234.
Close runner-up was Eugene Larson at 123 over in the Monday Northern Electric Automotive Industrial at Country, using a 164 average and shooting 615 with a 215 high. In third was Bob Maki of the Wednesday Trio at Country at plus-113 with a 197 average, 704 series and 277 high.
For the ladies, Carol Masuga won with 142 pins over her 148 average with 586 and a high game of 213 in the Tuesday Night Mixed at Superior.
Next was a pair of Tuesday T&T Ladies bowlers at Country – Paulette Kordish was 125 over her 138 average with 539 and a top game of 214, while Sunshine Langsford was 117 over her 99 average with 414 and a 173 high game.
From Nov. 22-28, Scott Salminen won a high-scoring men's race with 156 over his 204 average with 768 on games of 277, 255 and 236 in the Tuesday Major, while Chris Holman was just two pins back at plus-154 in the Friday Nite Mixed at Country with a 175 average, 679 series and top game of 243.
Third was Clay Sandberg in the Wednesday SIR Federal Credit Union at Country at 148 over his 212 average with 784 and a 266 high.
For the women, Nicole Quart took honors at 89 pins over her 111 average with 422 on games of 116, 121 and 185 in the Friday 800 Mixed at Superior.
The next two both came from the Friday Nite Mixed at Country, Nichole Treloar just two pins back at 87 over her 126 average with a 465 series and 181 top game, while Briana Olson was 81 over her 113 average with 420 on a 166 best.

Humble Home-Cooked Beans
- For the beans:
- 11 ounces dried cranberry or cannellini beans, soaked in cold water for at least 12 hours
- 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- A few sprigs fresh thyme
- A sprig fresh rosemary
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 stick celery, trimmed
- 1 small potato, peeled and halved
- 2 cherry tomatoes
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Red wine vinegar
- A few sprigs fresh at-leaf parsley, chopped
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- For the Scallops:
- 12 scallops
- 12 slices pancetta
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Lemons
My first thought when I saw these beans on a menu in Italy was "Beans on toast?" But then I tasted them. I felt pretty humbled that such a simple dish had been made to taste so gorgeous. Once you've learned how to season and cook them in the right way, you can apply the method to cannellini beans, lima beans, cranberry beans, haricots verts, lentils, even chickpeas. If you've grown your own beans, good on ya! Fresh beans will take about 45 minutes to cook, but you're more likely to get dried beans as they're cheap, and very reliable to cook. However, they will need soaking for at least 12 hours.
Skewers or fresh rosemary sprigs
Drain the soaked beans, then give them a good wash. Place them in a deep pot and cover them with cold water. Throw in the garlic, herb sprigs, bay leaves, celery stick, potato and tomatoes. Place the beans on the heat and slowly bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and simmer very gently for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on whether you're using fresh or dried, until soft and cooked nicely. Skim if necessary, topping up with boiling water from the kettle if you need to.
When the beans are cooked, drain them in a colander, reserving enough of the cooking water to cover them halfway up when put back in the pot. Remove the garlic, herbs, celery, potato and tomatoes from the beans. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and pinch the skin off the tomatoes. Put the garlic, tomatoes and potato onto a plate, mash them with a fork and stir back into the beans. Season well with salt and pepper, and pour in 3 generous glugs of extra-virgin olive oil and a few splashes of vinegar. Stir in the parsley and serve on some toasted sourdough bread.
Take up to 3 scallops and wrap a slice of pancetta round each. Thread them onto a skewer or a sturdy sprig of fresh rosemary and fry them on each side in a little olive oil until golden. Spoon the delicious warm home-cooked beans onto your plate and top with the scallops. Serve with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and any juices from the pan. Brilliant!

As the subject suggests I am looking for bamboo or wooden tea table that can handle spilled water. Tables I found from US based stores were very expensive or too big and stores based outside the US had very high shipping fees ($40-50). I am looking for one around 13-14 inches x 12 inches though does not have to be exactly this size.
Can anyone recommend a few online stores that offer tea trays priced no more than $50 and shipping around $15 or less? If the table is of nice aesthetics and quality I would spend a little more.
Thanks in advance.
