Skip to comments.Senate Reaches Cloture, 79-19, on House-Passed Spending Bill
Posted on 09/27/2013 11:04:31 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross
Senator Ted Cruz and the rest of his defund crew have consistently said that a vote for cloture on the House-passed spending bill is akin to a vote for Obamacare. But unfortunately for them, the much-anticipated votes are in and the news isnt great. As it happens, the Senate voted, 79-19, to end debate on the spending bill all but guaranteeing that the provision explicitly defunding Obamacare will be stripped -- and the amended bill eventually kicked back to the House of Representatives.
Twitchy breaks down what just happened in simplistic and easy-to-understand terms:
There were many Republicans in the Senate who voted yes on the continuing resolution, which is essentially a vote against defunding Obamacare. Exceeding 60 votes means there will be no more debate on the spending bill.
Having gotten the 60 votes means that Harry Reid will now only need a simple majority of votes in order to put the funding for Obamacare back into the spending bill.
In other words, Obamacare wont be defunded. Stay tuned for updates.
UPDATE: Senator Cruz released the following statement:
"Today's vote by Sen. Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats to fully fund Obamacare was yet the latest example of Washington not listening to the people.
"Obamacare is a 'train wreck,' a 'nightmare,' to use the words of its Democratic author and a union leader who previously supported the bill. It is the biggest job killer in America.
"As Teamsters President James Hoffa explained in a letter to Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Obamacare is hurting 'millions of working men and women ... and the families they support,' and it 'will destroy the very health and wellbeing of our members along with millions of other hardworking Americans.'
"Senate Democrats refused to listen.
"President Obama has granted exemptions for big business and Members of Congress, but Senate Democrats refuse to grant the American people the same exemption. Instead, they used political power to maintain their privileged position while doing nothing to respond to the pleas of millions of Americans.
"But this fight continues. Now the bill returns to the House. The House showed remarkable courage voting to defund Obamacare, and I hope and believe that the House will stand by their resolve and continue to lead the effort to stop the Obamacare train wreck.
"Obamacare is killing jobs, forcing people into part-time work, causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket, and threatening the healthcare of millions of Americans.
"Today, far too many Republicans joined Harry Reid in giving the Democrats the ability to fund Obamacare. When the bill comes back to the Senate, when the House yet again stands for principle and fights for the American people, I very much hope that Senate Republicans will rise to the challenge. We are stronger when we are united, and we can defeat Obamacare only if Senate Republicans come together, stand with House Republicans, and champion the millions of Americans being harmed by this disastrous healthcare law."
The 19:
Vitter,Paul,Lee,Cruz,Crapo,Enzi,Fischer,Roberts,Scott,Heller,Grassley,Toomey,Moran, Rubio, Shelby,Risch,Inhofe, Portman, Sessions
These are the 19 who stayed true to the core values of conservativism.
As for the other cowards in the GOP, beware retribution.
May 'We The People' make them go the way of Dick Lugar.
These ones get to stay, the rest OUT IN THE NEXT ELECTION!
I hope there is a way that we can strip retirement money from the ones that voted for Obamacare to stay.
I am glad to see at least one of my senators on that list.
Now I'm gonna have to side with the "Ditch Mitch" crowd.
None of these deserve to be in office one more day.
"Some animals are more equal than others"
"Let them make penicillin from moldy bread"
And the ONLY reason the despicable Rubio voted this way was because he knew it would make NO DIFFERENCE/
I mean "H.J.Res. 59"
Not just "good enough" but "in your best interest".
Just issued a SCATHING sarcastic and ACCURATE presser on this......
Time for a NEW and REAL Conservative party yet?
Here`s an idea for the name: The Conservative Party.
The GOP can hold itself into the Democrat party and then people can have an actual difference to vote for at the polls.
Time for a third party!
good question.
the GOP will blow sequestration on more spending.
I see that photo upthread as a stark illustration how our government has devolved into a peculiar mixture of medieval feifdoms and the mafiocracy the USSR devolved into shortly after its breakup. Bribes are accepted openly as "campaign" contributions, and lobbyists wining and dining them represent every interest except that of the citizenry.
I just went to the doc for my little physical. The mood there was somber. The attitude is that they will hold out as long as they can but know they are going to shut the office down. My doc won't do what he thinks is coming.
One of the older ladies asked what I thought about what is going to happen while she was drawing my blood. I said nothing good and that people haven't got a clue how bad it is going to be.
One of the younger nurses looked at the floor, shook her head and said, "the country is going to shite." Just that plain, just that clear. The young are seeing it now? Probably not enough though. This is a small town in Texas that used to be out in the woods and is becoming just another meal for the urban sprawl amoeba.
We can't go on much longer the way we are now. The end of this 80 year cycle is at hand. I wonder what will come out of the destruction?
My problem with Cruz concerning Obamacare is the following. He doesn't seem to understand that federal Obamacare is unconstitutional for the simple reason that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes.
Time for a second Party!
Also the Tea Party should start recall effort recalling all Senators and Representatives they can. The States that do not support recall a concentrated effort should be to work towards getting a conservative Contitutionalist candidate on the ballot.
And that has stopped Obamacare? Wake up. You cannot stop the communists that are in power.
They won't retire. They will die in office, then continue to vote with the rats for another year or so.
They have to start with McCain because he still has 3 more years left in office. And even if he did retire after that, we need to make a loud and clear statement. Recall Obama's right hand man John S. McCain.
Please help me understand....
- McConnel et al voted FOR cloture
- Now they're voting to defund
- Cloture makes it harder to do that
- So now his vote is purely symbolic... but essentially he was for it before he was against it....
Please correct my misunderstandings.
Meanwhile, the 19 who stood with Senators Cruz and Lee to keep pushing for defunding ObamaCare are:
Enzi - No doubt Liz Cheney fans will claim he only did so because she's challenging him in the primary, and ignore that he's ALWAYS been a reliable vote on this issue Fischer
Portman - Still a RINO douche anyway
Rubio - See Portman comments
Two Republican senators abstained from voting:
Flake - They don't call him Flake for nothing
Liberal socialist who caucuses with Republicans but votes with the Democrats:
The GOP Senators have totally screwed the House Republicans, left them twisting in the breeze.
They now have a totally losing hand to play.
You can follow your drummer and I'll follow mine.
7 emails to these a$$wipes so far! Im so PO'd ()_(*)(*&(*&^%&^$^%
Top right hand corner.."contact"
He needs to leave.
Alabama stands tall....
ROLL TIDE!! (a proud name, very fine people ....)
Well, I am surprised and pleased that Rob Portman voted with Cruz.
RE: Looks like 19 Senators worthy of our defense when the second Revolutionary War begins.
Really? How many here in FR hate Marco Rubio's guts?
I had the exact same thought as I've been trying to contact his office without success. Pleasantly surprised, especially since he's not up for re-election in '14 (and on the heels of his gay marriage fiasco).
3rd Party or the 4th Box.
Of course this is my opinion but founded in hope. God says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Never in the history of man has there been a "Christian" nation until the United States of America was founded on Christian principles. Never in the history of man has any group of people been called by Christ's name until Jesus Christ rose from the dead and reconciled us back to God and made all us believers members of His body. We, Christians, are the Body of Christ. NEVER, in the history of man has the above scripture been more pertinent than it is today.
Will the good people of this nation repent and throw out the devil's minions in Washington via the Constitutional tools afforded us by God and our founding fathers or will we sit by and let the antichrist's agenda continue to march forward unimpeded? Ted Cruz proved that one man is not enough to turn the tide. We must all stand up and hold accountable those that have lied to and betrayed us, their bosses... their constituents.
Yes we did, with the help of Shelby and Sessions. I think secession is next, along with a general strike against paying Fed. income tax. We have to destroy this federal government in it's present form. Texas will lead the way in secession, and the Southern States will follow. You want to tax me Obama, stick it!
Yep. The majority of Republican politicians have turned the Party into a mini-me of the Dems.
Flake backed out?! Utter piece of crap!
Not for the Lizinator though
Two Republican senators abstained from voting:
Flake - They don't call him Flake for nothing
They didn't even vote! Like 0bama, they voted 'present'. Crap, indeed.
This is an email I got from my Senator. This is how they fool the public but when it comes to having the balls to walk the walk they cave. Cochran did the same thing too.
Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for defunding and repealing the President's health-care law. I am glad to have the benefit of your views on this issue, and I agree that this massive government overhaul of health care in America should be fully repealed.
The President's health-care law greatly increases the government's role in our health-care system, fails to lower costs, and raises taxes and premiums. The tax increases in this law will cost the American public more than $675 billion over the next ten years. Skyrocketing premiums and co-payments will limit access to doctors for too many Mississippians. I support lower premiums and patients' freedom to choose their providers. I believe in workable solutions that empower patients not unelected bureaucrats in their health-care decisions.
Already in the 113th Congress, I have joined my colleagues in introducing numerous bills to repeal or defund all or part of the President's health-care law. I am a co-sponsor of Senator Ted Cruz's bill to prohibit funding for this detrimental law. As a member of the Senate Budget Committee, I offered an amendment during the consideration of the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget that would have defunded the President's health-care law and prevented $1.8 trillion in new spending for its implementation.
My repeal amendment, which was blocked by Senate Democrats, would have prohibited the use of taxpayer dollars to implement the 2,700-page law and its 19,000 pages of regulations. These countless rules, mandates and taxes will slow the economy and grow the government, stifling job creation and adding uncertainty to an already fragile economy.
Be assured I will continue to work in Congress to defund and repeal the President's harmful health-care law in its entirety and replace it with meaningful solutions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever assist you.
With best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
Roger F. Wicker
U.S. Senate"
I did. Told them to stop sending mail to my house and will not get another penny and why. Also sent a email. I will see if they respond.
This picture makes me sick to my stomach. Right before it was taken they all went and got expensive haircuts. Right after it was taken they all went and got a drink together.

The Hawaii Solar Integration Study is a detailed technical examination of the effects of high penetrations of solar and wind energy on the operations of the electric grids of two Hawaiian Islands: Maui and Oahu. Carried out under the auspices of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (see below), the study was jointly sponsored by the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Hawaiian Electric Co. (HECO).
Unlike mainland power grids, island power grids are self-contained and isolated, so they have no neighboring grids to turn to for support if they are pushed beyond their normal operating limits. The Hawaiian Islands also rely heavily on oil and oil products to fuel their power plants, which results in high electricity costs that help make renewable energy economically competitive.
Maui and Oahu already have significant wind and solar power feeding their electric grids, but the utilities on each island wanted to know how their grids will operate with more renewable energy. Some of this is will be under utility control in the form of centralized, utility-owned solar power plants, but much of the solar power will be distributed throughout the island on homes and businesses—outside of the utility's control.
The study included detailed computer modeling and simulations of the generation and transmission systems on each island to examine how future scenarios of high penetrations of solar and wind power will affect generator operations under normal system configurations. The distribution-level impacts were not assessed in this study. For cases in which the generator deviated from its preferred operating parameters, potential mitigation strategies were proposed and modeled.

The way I see this is the more Rocks there are on earth and the cheaper they are, the more people will be able to enjoy such a delightful object with their tea.
Also, I'd like to buy one day a wheeled Rock at a cheap priece.
This particular piece is gorgeous. I've put it in my follow-up items to see if it is sold and at what price.

I would really like it if adagio would carry a 16 oz glass tea cup. I know that the company that normally makes your glass stuff is going out of business, so maybe when you make new versions, you could get one cup that is a little bigger?
Anyone find anything like this somewhere else?

I have been meaning to post these picts for a while and just kept forgetting. This is a little tea set i inherited last year. A friend of my Grandmothers brought this back from Japan when he was stationed there at the end of WWII. Thats all the info i really have about this set. There are 6 cups and saucers, as well as a sugar and creamer dish. I think this set was made for teabags because there is a little box that could be used to hold the bags and two small "plates" to set the used bags on. Its in reasonably good shape except for two of the cups which were patched back together with scotch tape and model airplane glue when my dad and uncle accidentally "dropped" a ball and broke them, then tried to repair them so my grandmother would catch them. (No mom we werent throwing a ball in the house honest!!)

My oldest now has an '05 Kia Amanti to ride around in and I'm trying to determine best way to get rid of an older, 2001 Ford Windstar.
It has about 130k on it but subframe and transmission are new (subframe (and new struts) as part of recall, transmission two falls ago). It needs AC work and some minor electrical but I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts on Craigslist/EBay or best way to go about things.
Don't need strangers showing up here to look at it for safety reasons (I'd meet them somewhere though) but want to get some thoughts on how to get rid of it. Probably ask $1500 or so as body is in pretty good shape and it runs well.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Stanton and the Times were never 'in cahoots'
By DIANE STEINLE Editor of Editorials
Published April 1, 2007
When you know only half of the story, you don't know the whole truth.
The Rev. Charlie Martin is senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks, one of the biggest churches in the county. He said on television recently that I and the St. Petersburg Times were "in cahoots" with now-former Largo City Manager Steve Stanton about his plans for a sex change.
People may have assumed they were hearing the whole truth because the Rev. Martin is a good speaker with an authoritative delivery.
But the reverend failed to tell the rest of the story and therefore misled people.
Let me complete the story.
Martin made that speech March 23 at the emotionally charged, televised public hearing at which Stanton, after 14 years as city manager, appealed to the City Commission to let him keep his job.
Three weeks earlier, the commission had voted 5-2 to fire him, less than a week after the news broke that Stanton intended to have gender reassignment surgery.
Stanton's revelation that he had been cross dressing and intended to become a woman blindsided most of those who know him. My jaw dropped when I heard it. I didn't have a clue. Neither did others who work at this newspaper.
Yet in his March 23 comments before the commission and the television cameras, the Rev. Martin implied that I and my newspaper were involved in a secret conspiracy with Stanton.
Martin apparently reached this conclusion because of something Stanton wrote in an eight-page plan detailing how he would "come out" to city employees and the public. He was working on the plan with the help of Mayor Pat Gerard, in whom he confided on Jan. 1.
On Page 1 of that plan, Stanton placed this heading: "Confidential meeting with editors of SP Times Friday, May 18, 2007." He then wrote:
"I had a brief discussion with Diane (Steinle) eight months ago and told her I was planning on talking with her in the near future to discuss a 'personal issue and leadership opportunity.' I am confident she will meet with you (Mayor Gerard) and me off the record in exchange for writing a story prior to the release of the information. It is critical to have the support of the paper in this effort and I am confident that the Times will be supportive and see this as an opportunity to demonstrate diversity in the workplace, etc."
Pastor Martin read that section of Stanton's plan aloud at the meeting and treated it like some kind of smoking gun. He said, "Mr. Stanton obviously knew by information he had obtained that the Times would be supportive and make this a very strong case for the cause of transgender people."
Then the reverend explained that commissioners weren't firing Stanton because of his sex change plans but because of "other charges" against Stanton made by a host of residents and city employees. Martin didn't say what those charges were, but he said that people surely wouldn't rally behind someone guilty of them.
"So Mr. Stanton and Mayor Gerard, in cahoots with the St. Pete Times, decided to play the big hand," Martin said. "They dealt the race card, or as I say, the transgender card, because they knew if they played that card, they could get their groups together for a noteworthy rally here tonight. And here you are. You came. But you have been tricked by those in the know: Mr. Stanton, Mayor Gerard and the St. Pete Times."
I don't know why the reverend said those things or why he chose not to tell the rest of the story. But I'll tell you.
Steve Stanton and I did chat on the phone months ago about city business, as I regularly do with other city managers, too. He hinted that he was thinking about his future and might have some news about that down the road. I asked whether he was leaving Largo, but he wouldn't tell me anything else.
We didn't talk again about his future - until Feb. 20, when a Times reporter and an editor walked into my office and said they had heard that Stanton was planning a sex change. They said that when they had asked Stanton about it, he had refused to talk to anyone but me - and only off the record.
After I scraped my jaw off the floor, I called Stanton and refused to grant him an off-the-record interview. I explained that as journalists, our job is to get important news into the paper for our readers, not carry it around in our heads. And a public figure's planning to get a sex change certainly was important news.
But we talked some more, and Stanton said he would tell our news reporter everything, on the record, if we would hold off a day so that he could talk to his 13-year-old son first. We agreed, and the next afternoon, Feb. 21, the first story was posted on the Times Web site.
I didn't find out until later that Stanton had a written plan and that he had assumed, incorrectly, that I would talk to him off the record about such an important story.
The Rev. Martin tried to skewer the newspaper in a public venue by telling half of the story and making unfounded accusations. I'm more comfortable giving folks all of the information they need so that they can make their own judgments.
This newspaper is telling the Stanton story professionally and sensitively, as it unfolds, because that's our job.
Regarding Stanton's statement that he was "confident" the Times would be supportive, that was a guess on his part. But I'm proud our editorials called for Stanton to be judged on his job performance, not his gender. Isn't that how all of us would want to be treated?

My son liked it a lot
A bit too sweet
Posted by shoppingmama on Apr 25, 2013
The taste is a mixture of sweet and sour. My baby finds the initial taste abit too strong on its own. I mix half a pack with some baby mix grain cereal and formula milk to increase the portion and to thicken the consistency (the other half pack can be saved in the fridge for up to 2 days). I will purchase this again. >>>>>>> Click on my iHerb review page link above to read the rest of my product reviews.

Blu-ray disc players and recorders will finally kill sales of DVD players and recorders in 2015, about nine years after the first commercial BD players hit the market, according to a newly released report by In-Stat market research company.
"DVD players and recorder shipments will decline over the next five years for most regions. By 2015, DVD recorders will be essentially phased out entirely, with only negligible shipments to Japan," says Norm Bogen, vice president of digital entertainment at In-Stat.
The new research from the market tracking company forecasts that the number of Blu-ray player units shipped will reach 105 million in 2015. Since by 2015 the reach of HDTV will increase dramatically compared to today and the majority of TV-channels will broadcast in high-definition, DVD recorders will also be replaced with the standard providing higher capacity or even BD players with large hard drives and digital services.
"Blu-ray recorders will replace DVD recorders, and many consumers of recorders will even drop the physical disk media option altogether and instead opt for a player with a large hard drive or a DMS in which to store DLNA-certified and other digital video content," added Mr. Bogen.
The Blu-ray disc players themselves will also likely be vastly different from players as we generally know them. Already at the end of 2010, over 15% of Netflix subscribers opted for Blu-ray subscriptions, which means that people demand Internet video streaming capability from BD players. Naturally, by 2015 virtually all players should support this feature. Other capabilities, such as Internet browing, Wi-Fi and so on are also likely to get more popular on BD players in the future.

Music, food and fun on the water, the 21st annual A Taste of Pinellas begins Friday.
This year musical performers include Ziggy Marley, the Neville Brothers, .38 Special and Peter Frampton, plus other local talent.
The event will be held through Sunday at Vinoy Park and is presented by Sweetbay Supermarkets and Angus Pride, and by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans in partnership with Ruth Eckerd Hall. It will feature more than 40 local restaurants, music and a kid's area.
There is no cost for admission, but patrons can purchase sheets of tickets for food and attractions. Each sheet is $5 and has eight tickets.
Bobby Rossi, with Ruth Eckerd Hall, said .38 Special recently made a large donation to All Children's Hospital to buy toys.
"They get why they are here ... the artists do, " Rossi said.
The event is put on to benefit All Children's Hospital. It is the biggest fundraising weekend of the year for the hospital.
A VIP Auction and Telethon Kickoff party will be held at the Hilton St. Petersburg at Carillon Park on Saturday night. The auction will begin at 6 p.m. and the telethon, broadcast live on WFLA-TV News Channel 8, goes from 8:30 p.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday.
"It can help us maintain and sustain our mission, which is treatment, research, education and advocacy for all children, " said Cindy Rose, the hospital's administrative director of marketing and community relations.
Steve Westphal, restaurant captain for A Taste of Pinellas and owner of Parkshore Grill, said there will be more restaurants and a bigger variety of cuisine than in years past.
"It was dominated by the chains before, " he said. "This year we made a drive to involve the more local restaurants."
This year there will be a covered area where patrons can sit and enjoy their food. There will also be a beer garden featuring elite beer, and restaurants will conduct a booth decorating contest.
There are activities for the kids in the Lifestyle Family Fitness Kids Zone. It will feature slides, obstacle courses, a rock climb, petting zoo and more. There will also be a DJ for the kids.
The reunion for graduates of the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will be held in the kid's area Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
There will be a fireworks show after Saturday night's performance by Ziggy Marley.
"It will be reminiscent of a New Orleans vibe, " Rossi said. "It's going to be beautiful out there."
It is one of the few free festivals in the area of this scale Rossi said. "It's a tremendous tribute to the community."

leavening vs fermentation
October 22, 2011, 02:14:09 PM »
I've been thinking about leavening and fermenting with bread making. The books I've been reading are Jeffrey Hamelman's
, Peter Reinhart's
Whole grain breads
Artisan breads every day
, and Chad Robertson's
Tartine bread
Both Peter Reinhart and Chad Robertson state that the sour flavor for a sourdough comes from the Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis bacteria, not from the yeast. The Lactobacillus produce lactic acid which makes the bread taste sour. This is what I call fermenting.
In a sourdough starter the wild yeast produces gas, and this is what I call leavening. Likewise, commercial yeasts provide leavening, except that they're faster than wild yeast and predictable.
When reading about bread making and pizza making, people use the word fermenting to describe part of the bread making process when I think what they really mean is a combination of both leavening and fermenting. It seems to me that fermenting is a catch-all word for a long rest period for the dough; for example, "bulk fermentation." Coming from the fermented vegetables background (for example, sour kraut, kimchi, and fermented pickles, where the vegetables are put in a brine solution for several weeks) I think of fermenting as the souring process from the Lactobacillus bacteria.
As an example of the terminology problem, in Hammelman's Bread, starting on page 13 he describes bulk fermentation but he mixes together the actions of leavening from the yeast producing gas, and fermentation saying that fermentation produces the superior flavors. He talks about the "production of organic acids during fermentation" without explaining how they're produced. He goes on to say that organic acids develop slowly and take hours before there are enough to benefit the bread's flavor. Nothing incorrect there, but things could be more carefully delineated and explained.
The same is also true for The Yeast Treatise at theartisan.net; fermentation and leavening are being conflated.
When describing bulk fermentation and the role of the temperature of the dough, one of the interesting things Hammelman says is that "the flavor components in the dough prefer temperatures lower than that required for maximum gas production." By "flavor components" I'm assuming he's talking about the Lactobacillus bacteria's activity. This no doubt explains how these no knead recipes work where you put the dough in the refrigerator for several days; the yeast activity is greatly slowed down while the Lactobacillus activity is slowed down to a lesser degree.
Back to the leavening side, if you're using a no-knead recipe where the bread sits for several hours and you do a stretch and fold periodically, you should do the stretch and fold gently, so that you don't squeeze out the gas that's in the dough from the yeast. This shows that leavening is occurring during the inaptly named bulk fermentation step.
For some people this may be hair splitting terminology. Before I retired I was a computer programmer and systems administrator and in that field it is crucial to always use the correct words (and not mash things together) when describing things. So I think this hair splitting is helpful for understanding the different things that are going on in the bread dough.
One new thing that I learned from Robertson's book is that for him a starter isn't just a starter; there are desirable starters and undesirable starters. An undesirable starter is one that's excessively sour. A desirable starter is one where the wild yeast is very active and the Lactobacillus is just getting up to speed, although he doesn't explain it that way and instead uses visual and olfactory clues (very bubbly and doesn't smell a lot).
Because the Lactobacillus are doing the fermenting and improving the bread's flavor and not the wild yeast, I think this is why bakers (for example, Peter Reinhart) get good results by using commercial yeast in addition to a sourdough starter. The starter is mainly seeding the dough with Lactobacillus bacteria for the fermentation and the commercial yeast provides the leavening. The starter may or may not have a good population of wild yeast, but in any event the commercial yeast produces a quicker and more predictable rise.
After thinking about this, one idea that I've had is that it should be possible to redesign the starter so that its recipe favors the Lactobacillus bacteria; the only yeast it needs is whatever is necessary to keep the Lactobacillus happy. Then, in the bread recipe, use commercial yeast for the leavening and use the starter for seeding the dough with Lactobacillus. I'm speculating that with the correct amounts of starter, yeast, and fermentation time that a good bread can be made. And probably without the long three day period that's currently necessary.
Rising times with commercial yeasts are undoubtedly well known and documented; for example, a percentage of yeast (using baker's percentages), a hydration range, and a temperature range will yield an appropriate rise in so many hours and minutes. Then, all that's needed is knowing how long of a fermentation period is needed for the Lactobacillus, how much Lactobacillus, at what temperature, etc. Matching the correct amount of yeast with the correct amount of Lactobacillus for a particular temperature, hydration, and period should yield a good loaf of bread or pizza crust.
All that's needed is for some enterprising food scientist to culture and dry Lactobacillus so that in addition to buying instant dry yeast we can also buy instant dry fermentation.

Thank you for writing this, it was very interesting to read. However, the word fermentation refers to the breakdown process itself. Yeast is a player in the fermentation process, along with bacteria if using a natural starter, when making bread.

Lumpynose, I applaud the amount of thought that you're putting into this and you've raised some interesting points, but, as John pointed out, I think you're overlooking some things.
The term 'fermentation' is relatively vague and all encompassing, and, while it might be nice to have terms for each of the major processes occurring in dough, you can't just come along and say 'bacteria activity is fermentation' while 'yeast activity is leavening,' especially since you've overlooked a critical third process- enzyme activity. When Hammelman talks about "the flavor components in the dough prefer temperatures lower than that required for maximum gas production," this relates to enzyme activity favoring lower temps a little more than yeast activity and the byproducts that enzymes produce. No knead cold fermented breads are about enzyme activity, not bacterial. They're mostly about dough atrophy, not acid production.
Hair splitting is great. We need more of it. We just have to find the right hairs to split and split them the right way. I like yeast activity being confined to the single term 'leavening.' If you want to propose single words for 'bacteria activity' and 'enzyme activity,' let's do it. My wrists would appreciate the keystroke savings.
Regarding "Rising times with commercial yeasts" being "well known and documented," that's not the case at all. Yeast age, flour age, milling inconsistencies, wheat fluctuations, flour brand, protein content, humidity, moisture basis of the flour, water impurities, quantity/type of kneading, refrigerator temperature, container shape, size and material- these all impact rising times (and other variables). This why when a bread recipe denotes the quantity of yeast to use, you have to take it with a grain of salt. When it comes to yeast, no one can really tell someone else, "use x amount" and it will be perfect. You have to be the master of your own domain. You have to, to the best of your ability, control your own variables to be able to predict rising times.
And this is for non sourdough breads. When you start adding starter to the mix, the variables go through the roof. Maybe in 20 years it will be different, but, right now, when you make sourdough bread, unless you're doing it every single day like a bakery, you're going to be, to an extent, rolling the dice. In that aspect, it's kind of like the anti-thesis to programming
When I cook, I can get relatively right brained- a pinch of this, a pinch of that, let's see how it turns out, but when I bake, it's all pretty much left brain, exact and scientific. I want to be able to know pretty much exactly what's going to happen when I alter a recipe. This is why you will most likely never see me working with starters. I don't like surprises in bread

Not sure what you're asking. If you're asking how to run a method based on a certain variable that had been set, I think you need to use eval(), like so:
myobject = MyObject.new
x = 'mydef'
@y = eval("myobject.#{x}")
Of course, with Ruby there's always a more elegant solution:
myobject = Myobject.new
x = 'mydef'
@y = myobject.send(x)
Last edited by Firanide (2007-05-15 22:25:50)
ok, thanx a lot.
Any idea how to do the same with the class name?
such as:
Found it:
c = Myclass
obj = c.new
c = Object.const_get('MyClass')
Last edited by patcito (2007-05-16 15:24:23)
There's also:
Thanx again.
By the way is it secure to pass class and function as variable in rails?
if I use a link that has params such as :classname=>'Myclass'
and then in my controller doing something like Myclass.new or Myclass.destroy?
Depends what you are doing with it. You have to be more careful with function names than class names, but security needs to be taken into account for both. They can't insert full out Ruby code, but they can change the name of the class/function to something else and this can lead to improper behavior.
If you only plan to accept a select few kinds of input, it's best to make sure the input matches one of these before using it.

Celebrating 100 years of worship and churches
STONINGTON – The worship of God came instilled in the strong bodies and hearts of Stonington's earliest settlers. They came in boats over the shining water or bundled in sleighs across the ice covered expanse of Little Bay de Noc. They beheld the limestone cliffs, the tall trees. They knew that with their opportunities came backbreaking work, isolation and a constant struggle against an imposing wilderness.
They worshiped in their homes, barns, newly built schools and meeting halls. Services were conducted once a month by visiting clergy from Escanaba and Gladstone. The clergy stayed overnight in welcoming homes and the offerings went to the hardy individuals that made the journey to lead them in worship. In the early winter or spring when the bay was icing or the ice was breaking up, no boat or sleigh could cross so the settlers were on their own for services.
Two Scandinavian ethnic groups formed the majority of the Stonington population – Danish and Swedish. They spoke different languages, clung to their ethnic customs and came from Scandinavian countries that had major conflicts dating from the Napoleonic Wars in 1814 and continued through 1906 when Norway gained its independence from Sweden. At the turn of the century, on Stonington it was decided that it would be best for all if they had separate churches.
The immigration of Norwegian and Swedish settlers to the United States is impressive. Only the Irish had a higher rate per capita. From 1825 to 1925, 800,000 Norwegians immigrated to North America – a third of Norway's population. During that same period 1.3 million Swedish came – enough that Sweden passed progressive laws to help keep their people at home.)
As each church began to organize, women played a very key role – as they do today. The raising of money and the focus needed to create two churches came from highly active women's groups. The church building funds were organized and led by the Ladies Aid Societies.
The Swedish church was organized on Aug. 24, 1904, and named the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church, later to be named the Bethel Lutheran Church. It was completed in 1906 and was the first church on Stonington. The beautiful church featured stained glass windows obtained from the Second Bethany Church of Escanaba which was torn down in 1912.
Bethel added a tower in 1915 and completed construction in 1926 with a kitchen and dining hall added at the rear of the building. It also had stable facilities for horses in the early days. The wonderfully crafted church used kerosene lamps suspended over the pews and was heated by a large wood stove.
On Friday, June 11, 1954, summer Bible school had dismissed just before noon with the prospect of an evening service where the children would perform for their parents. All were in high spirits looking forward to a fun evening and later in the year to the 50th anniversary of the church's organization. That afternoon a powerful summer storm came over the eastern horizon and the church was struck by lightning. Oscar Carlson, living next to the church, heard the strike and saw the spire was on fire. He rushed in to rescue the cross, candle sticks and missal stand. When firefighters and other citizens arrived they saved everything they could carry as the flames enveloped the building.
Today, 59 years later, all that is left at the 106 year old site is the stone part of its foundation with trees growing inside it. You see the kitchen and dining area which had a stone foundation. It is the back of the main church which had a wood foundation and faced west toward the bay and the old Stonington road. The site can be seen west of County Road 513, a little less than a mile south of the present township hall.
The Norwegian church, sometimes called the Norwegian-Danish Free Church and later became the Trinity Lutheran Church, began in a meeting on Feb. 10, 1910, in the old south school house. A prospective sight was discussed and Peder Pedersen and Andrew Nygaard subsequently approached land owner Isaac Stephenson, who kindly donated the land for the church. Lumber was cut from the local woods and sawed at Charlie Thorsen's sawmill. The hard work of the masons and carpenters was matched by the Ladies Aid Society who, with the help of many parishioners and businesses provided funds to the building committee. The first services were held on Oct. 12, 1913, with the official dedication on Oct. 26. The Church complex grew to include a 13-stall horse stable and a parish hall located on the west and south sides of the present parking lot.
On April 24, 1942, Trinity was set afire by an arsonist. With just a dug well and firefighting help many miles away, the structure burned to the ground. Brave people risked smoke and flames to rescue the beautiful altar we see today along with many other items.
With resilience strong in their pioneering spirit, the members of Trinity remodeled and enlarged their parish hall for their church services until a new church could be built. That winter, trees were again cut for a new church and later the logs were sawed at Semer Thorsen's mill. World War II put a stop to further construction because of a lack of men and materials. When the war ended, construction began and a new Trinity Church was built on the original site by many of the same people that built the first church, now aided by their sons and daughters. They were led by master carpenter Ole Carlson with Gust Nelson and Magnus Jacobsen as his helpers. The Ladies Aid Society again produced meals, ran fund-raising events and again brought about monetary miracles. Trinity also took a mortgage which was paid off and ceremonially burned in 1956.
The first service in the new church was July 4, 1948.
Trinity and Bethel Churches held separate services for six years. When Bethel burned in 1954, a problem and opportunity for both congregations became clear. Trinity had a fine structure but had issues with minister coverage. Bethel had solid support with available clergy. The size of both congregations and the expense and availability of two clergy each week was compounded by the problems the Bethel folk had meeting in a school. Little elementary desks were not made for adult Swedes. Money was tight at the Bethel's Augustana Synod. Building a new Bethel Church just was not in the cards.
Reasonableness broke out! The "-sen and -son" surname endings of their fathers became less important than a loving and satisfying worship service. The practicality of the two church groups becoming one was very clear. A very hard part of the process was the document each Bethel member had to sign to close their church. With that page of Stonington church history turned, most of the Bethel members joined Trinity, with some going to services in Rapid River.
The Trinity joining of Stonington Lutherans was a harbinger of the ecumenical movement that would follow on a national level. The Lutheran Church of America, LCA, merged with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, ELCA.
Trinity Lutheran – a white beacon of Christianity – today stands tall and strong on the limestone cliff of Stonington. Its walls were twice built with wood cut by its members, it was built with volunteer labor, and it is full of the love and the pride of a job well done. It is a symbol of 100 years of Christian tradition and of the loving, caring people of Stonington who made homes in a wilderness and made a church for the greater worship of God.
One hundred years of Trinity's congregational leaders include: O. C. Dahlager, 1913-1920; L. B. Saterson, 1920-1926; K. K. Knutsen, 1926-1937; L. R. Lund, 1937-1950; Phillip Engdahl, 1948-1949; Maynard Hansen, 1949-1950; Johannes Ringstad, 1950-1956; Wilbert Johnson, 1950-1958; John DeBoer, 1956-1959; Herb Carlmark, 1957-1962; Gordon Thorpe, 1960-1965; George Olson, 1962-1972; Ted Grandquist, 1972-1980; Sidney Jones, 1980-1981; Marilyn Riedel, 1981-1983; Dan Kangas, 1983-1984; Rick Lawrence, 1984-1988; Dave Hueter, 1988-1998; Julie Fiske, 1999-2003; Sam Johnson, 2004-2006; Dave Mason, 2006-2009*; Diane Srutowski 2011- to present. *Filling in the leadership gap between Mason and Srutowski were Sue Sundstrom Young, Nora Smith, Steve Gauger, Norm Lund, Jonathan Schmidt, Kris Ertl, Dean Peterson, Ingmar Levin, Bruce Thorsen.
The gifts of money, pews, organs, and most importantly- time and energy are found in other histories and in the hearts of their friends. Hans Bonefeld was a very key figure in the Church's and Stonington's history. Coming from Denmark as a child, he and his family are woven into the fabric of Escanaba and Stonington.
Many of the early settlers and subsequent Stonington families had English backgrounds. To name a few, Capt. Stratton and his large family, Charles Beggs, John Champ, and Arthur Smith. The Skaug Brothers donated the beautiful altars to both churches- that may be why they looked so much alike.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (241 votes).
In short: Absolutely superb!In full: Fantastic race this. Excellent pre-race programme sent out with your race number, loads of signs directing you where to park (plus marshals in the car parks themselves), excellent course, friendly encouraging marshals etc etc. A really top-class event - 10 out of 10 from me. Thank you White Horse HarriersDate of review: April 10, 2013
In short: Fast, friendly, fun filled course ideal for pb or benchmarkIn full: Cheap as chips good value for money runners' race, appreciated by 99% all known entrants. Running out of space for mugs, needs a change of memento :-)Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: Chip timing added to the event. This is simply the best half marathon. Organisation and marshalling of the highest order, no serious hills, beautiful countryside, great buzz, well supported where it goes through the villages and only £8 to enterDate of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Friendly, local event with a polished edgeIn full: They said it was flat and it is. Less than 30metres of climb the entire race. Definitely an opportunity for a PB though I didn't achieve this as was using it as a pace run for the VLM. Next time I would consider this race for an all out attack on a PB. The lack of crowds watching and participating (perhaps a good thing for many people) makes it a lonely race. More like a time trial for those near the front. I guess that offsets the benefits of a flat course but this is a charming race, run by runners, and marshaled enthusiastically. Thank you for the trophy and cheque and the massage at the end was very much appreciated and welcomed.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: A well-organised, flat half. Good for a PB, but not one to rave about.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Lovely race Great organisation Excellent marshals In full: My third time of running this event. Lovely race, good parking & didnt have to queue once for Ladies loos !! Route is flat and scenary good - marshals were very supportive as were the small gatherings of supporters dotted about the course. Nice mug & chip timing the latter a nice addition this year and sill good value - just a plea which I think has been made before Please dont allow this event to get too big - it is perfect as it is. Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Great race - but get rid of Mr Happy Referee at the finishIn full: 3rd year in a row. Excellent marshalling, very friendly and supportive - a big thank you to all of them.Chip timing this year which added £5 to the race.Shame about the referee at the finish, what a jobsworth of misery!Will definitely be back though to add to my mug collection!Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Superb!In full: Second year of running this race. Slick, well organised with friendly marshalls and good support. Flat, well sign posted course. A very fast race as 80pc club runners but I was not put off being almost last running in 2h13 as I'm running against myself, and had plenty of cheerers along the way :)Will be signing up for next year's for sure.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: A lovely race on a lovely dayIn full: This was a well organised race on a very flat course. Plenty of very friendly marshalls around the course and good support. Easy to find, plenty of toilets and parking right next to the start. The curse is flat and definately PB potential (not for me this time) Weather was lovely. Definately one to do for any runner. It was a clubby race but didn't feel out of place as a non club runner. Thanks White Horse.Date of review: April 7, 2013
