This week's reviews: Cast turns time-travel tale into magic
The Columbus Dispatch - November 08, 2013 10:59 AM
It might not exactly be the milieu of history fans, but About Time should be right up the alley of those who are at home in the realm of magic.
The Richard Curtis movie tells the story of a family where the men possess the ability to travel in time. While they can jump to different moments in time, the family is limited to moving within their own lifetime.
Critic Peter Tonguette found much to like in About Time, but he felt the ensemble outperformed the stars (Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams) in the movie. Ultimately, the charm of the movie wins out.
"Glimpsed in the family home is a poster of the French film Amelie — and, at its best, About Time blends magic with laughs almost as entertainingly as that Academy Award nominee," Tonguette said.
He rated the movie three stars.

Guilty of resisting relocation
In 1942, Gordon Hirabayashi, a Japanese American student at the University of Washington, refused to report to a relocation camp. His refusal defied Executive Order 9066 evacuating Japanese Americans from the West Coast. This document records the outcome of Hirabayashi's first trial. The U.S. District Court ruled 9-0 against him. Forty years later, Hirabayashi challenged his 1942 conviction. The court overturned the earlier verdict.

SEARCH TAG / TERM: mountain-bike
At first glance, an interview with Matt Fritzinger, the founder of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA), wouldn't seem to be too much down the alley of your typical PEZ story - they race mountain bikes. Take a step back though and imagine what it could have/would have been like to be a part of NICA as a high schooler...the possibilities! NICA is bringing thousands of teenagers into the sport of cycling, and that is a story worth talking about. Fear not for the future of our sport.

cooked = spaghetti sauceuncooked = pizza sauce
Bingo.Talked with a pizza shop owner here in my area (and he claims to be "NY pizza" - he's not) a couple weeks back and he said that he simmered his "pizza sauce" for 8 hours like it was a badge of honor or something. I didn't have the balls to tell him I thought that's a bad idea.
I cook it, sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours, sometimes not at all. If you think cooked=spaghetti sauce, you have a serious lack of experience with pizza or spaghetti sauce, or both.
If you are depriving yourself of a good cooked down pizza sauce, then you are limiting yourself.
And just to be clear, I only take exception to the cooked=spaghetti statement, that is simply wrong. There is no "right" way to make pizza sauce, only the way you like.
for most american/deepdish/sicilian and non-neo styles, a cooked sauce is most accurate to the consistency of the nature of the beast, it seems.
If you buy whole canned tomatoes, and run it through a food mill to remove seeds and skins, it still seems too watery to use as a sauce. It seems you have to simmer it for about 30 minutes to thicken it up. Thoughts?

warrior - One who is engaged in or experienced in battle.
I don't think anyone who has seen Patrick Rafter battling on a tennis court would deny him the title of warrior. His epic battles with some of the games top players have highlighted his career. It's only right that Prince's newest racquet, designed specifically for Rafter, be named the Warrior. It's a fitting tribute to one of the games greatest competitors.
Although Prince's Triple Threat Warrior racquets (Midplus and Oversize) haven't been battle tested the way Patrick Rafter has, their lineage does suggest they'll be worthy competitors. Like their predecessor, the Precision Response Titanium racquet, the Triple Threat Warriors are head light, 23 mm wide racquets with Prince's Double Bridge system in the throat. Unlike the Response Ti, the Warriors also have Prince's Triple Braid weighting system (with Tungsten) and weigh less than 12 ounces. Also, the Response Ti was only available in a 97 square inch head. The Warrior comes in two head sizes, 97 and 107 square inches (which is 1/2 inch longer at 27-1/2 inches). Tennis Warehouse's intrepid band of weekend warriors playtested the Triple Threat Warriors for two soggy weeks. Here are our un-weighted responses...
The TT Warrior MP is slightly lighter than its predecessor, the Response Ti, yet provides a similarly full-bodied feel from the baseline. Dan explains, "the first impression I had was the solidness of this racquet. It has classic feel and flexibility, but with above average stability during off-center shots. I also found the TT Warrior MP to be a dream for spin artists, chip & chargers and control specialists - extreme topspin and slice shots were a breeze. It's easy to see why this racquet is used by Pat Rafter." Granville adds, "from the first groundstroke, I could feel the ball sinking into the stringbed, allowing me exceptional control. At the same time, it delivered the power I was generating, not power thrust upon me by material technology. The racquet flexed where I wanted it to, from the throat and shoulders. I was able to hit out, delivering depth and not having to think about hitting too long. The string pattern was just right for developing topspin, and my topspin lob was definitely 'on'. I also loved the sound made during ball contact."
Don says, "there's plenty of heft, despite being only 11.4 ounces. I've always said I'd like to try a Response Ti that was about 1/2 ounce lighter...well, I got it in the TT Warrior MP. It provides the same dampened feel for comfort, without robbing the racquet of touch or feel. The power level might be a tad less than the Response but I was able to swing it faster, and get the racquet around on hard-hit balls from my opponent more quickly. Generating spin was easy and I hit some great slice approach shots."
The TT Warrior MP is nimble at net, yet still provides substance and stability. Granville offers, "really good stuff here. I could move the racquet around from side to side without thinking about the balance. It has a very forgiving sweetspot that delivered excellent control for me on my volleys. Even when my opponent was drilling groundstrokes at me, I was able to keep the racquet in front and return crisp volleys with depth, and, with minimal effort." Dan continues, "the TT Warrior MP is born to volley. It has the most natural feeling at net of any racquet I've used in a long time. The weight and balance seem perfectly synchronized; not too heavy to maneuver easily, yet hefty enough to feel firm and solid. The Triple Braid at 2 and 10 o'clock gives the racquet a needed 'kick' in the upper hoop for balls hit high in the stringbed."
The TT Warrior MP's combination of weight, balance and string pattern provide similar benefits to serving as it does to hitting groundstrokes. Don comments, "I was hitting my serves with authority and plenty of spin. Although I've served harder with other racquets, I liked the power level, combined with accuracy provided by this racquet. I could hit wide slices with good pace and second serves had lots of kick." Granville adds, "I was hitting spin serves wide from both sides with confidence. I could also mix it up by popping some serves wide from the ad court, earning several 'cheap' points. I'd say the racquet may be slightly underpowered, but the trade-off was added control and spin." Dan continues, "although there are racquets that hit with better authority, the combination of power and accuracy were proportionate with the Warrior MP's weight and balance. Due to the lighter weight, it is slightly less powerful than the Response Ti. However, that same feature allows for faster swing speeds over a longer period, which complimented my slice and kick serves."
The TT Warrior MP was popular with our playtesters on serve returns. Dan says, "this racquet was ideal for returning big first serves. Although it is a little lighter than other 'player' racquets, it possesses enough weight where it counts for stability. I also enjoyed chipping and charging off short or weak second serves." Granville offers, "I loved it! I was taking the ball early and ripping returns cross court or down the line at will. I was returning the pace that was being delivered on the serve with consistency. On the ad court, I was able to slice the backhand return short, cross court or block it down the line." Don continues, "maneuverability, combined with heft and stability - what could be better? There's enough weight for effective block returns, yet I was able to take a swing against many first serves. Against second serves, I utilized every available opportunity to chip and charge (think Rafter!) and enjoyed positive results."
The Triple Threat Warrior Midplus will find many fans among a fairly broad range of player levels and types. We feel it is best suited to 4.5-7.0 all-court or serve and volley players. However, the racquet is so versatile that even many baseliners will find it appealing. The TT Warrior MP is not a duplicate of the Response Ti but that wasn't the objective. It successfully achieves the goal of producing a slightly lighter and more maneuverable racquet, without sacrificing stability and comfort. For more information, contact us at 800-883-6647.

Although the spotlight is primarily on the TT Warrior MP, we found the Oversize held its own in almost every department, including groundstrokes. Dan says, "this oversize racquet rivals the TT Warrior MP more than any other model I can recall playtesting. It's not often I pick up an oversize racquet and feel like I'm playing with a midplus, but that was the case with the Warrior OS. Similar to the midplus, this racquet's combination of weight, balance and swingweight just 'clicked', and fit well with its length (27.5 inches) and headsize (107 square inches). Prince has really produced a winner here." John continues, "this racquet was a pleasure to hit with from the very first groundstroke. I enjoyed the fact that it was slightly lighter, yet still retained stability and provided excellent damping properties. The length and headsize are a perfect match - the racquet cuts through the air like a knife. I was able to swing out fully, generating the expected power level, without any surprises. The open string pattern provided the needed spin capabilities, allowing for effective topspin and impressive slice. If you like to slice and dice, the TT Warrior OS is a great weapon."
Granville offers, "as someone who has never preferred an oversize racquet, I'm convinced the TT Warrior OS is one of the best playing oversize racquets available in this category. I had no problems whatsoever transitioning from my ProStaff 6.1 MP or TT Warrior MP to this racquet. I found it refreshing that a midplus and oversize version of a racquet can have such distinct playing characteristics, while accenting the nuances of both headsizes. The TT Warrior OS has a specific 'performance' weight and balance that I like. I'd go so far as to say the benefits of Triple Braid weighting are exemplified in this racquet, as well as other oversize models in the Triple Threat line. The sweetspot is slightly higher in the oversize but no adjustment in my stroke was required. I also liked the open string pattern, which allowed me to hit with some amazing spin and hit a few topspin lobs that left my opponent and me shaking our heads!"
Don comments, "I was really impressed with this racquet. Like Dan, I felt like I was hitting with a midplus, while enjoying the forgiveness benefits of an oversize. There is a pleasant balance of power and control, allowing for full swings without worry of fly-away shots. The extra 1/2 inch of length is only noticeable in that the racquet feels well-proportioned. The extra length is in the head, not the handle. I was able to generate better than average topspin and could have hit slice backhands all day. I could happily play with this racquet."
The TT Warrior OS' maneuverability, combined with the stability of Triple Braid weighting AND a larger head and extra length make it a natural at net. John offers, "the TT Warrior OS is like a magic wand at the net. Aided by the head-light balance and 107 headsize, solid volleys are the order of the day. I was able to deflect volleys with ease, generating surprising power and depth. The weighting at 2 and 10 o'clock seemed to really lend stability to the frame." Granville says, "volleys have always been my bread and butter, so I'm very picky in my choice of racquets. If a racquet doesn't allow me to control the ball in all situations, I'll keep looking for a new racquet. The TT Warrior OS was right on cue. I could bleed pace off the ball for a touch, cross court winner or drop shot, or take the lead and punch away a decisive winner. I really felt like I could do just about anything with this racquet at net."
Dan comments, "although the TT Warrior OS felt a bit heftier at net than its midplus counterpart, it made up for this in spin control. I felt I could manipulate volleys in a way that's difficult to find in competing oversize models. If I were a doubles specialist, spending my days at net, or trying to get there, this racquet would definitely rank up there as a potential weapon of choice." Don adds, "I enjoyed this racquet's versatility at net - I could pick up low returns off my shoelaces or hit a high backhand volley with similar ease and effectiveness. Most oversize racquets require holding back but not the Warrior OS. I could aggressively attack half-volleys without fear of the ball sailing. The next shot, I could hit a slice, angle volley for a winner. My confidence at net was boosted with this racquet in my hand."
Although some oversize racquets are more difficult in generating racquet head speed on serves, the TT Warrior OS didn't seem sluggish to our playtesters. John comments, "I was pleasantly surprised with the power, depth and control I was able to generate on serves. With my boom-boom serving days long in the past, I enjoyed the Warrior OS' power level. Additionally, I could place the ball down the 'T' or pull my opponent wide with slice at will. A racquet that provides sufficient power, while maintaining control is a rare commodity." Don offers, "I didn't notice the typical dropoff in power found in many oversize racquets. I didn't feel relegated to hitting only slice and spin serves. I could crank first serves with decent pace down the middle or slice out wide. Serving with the TT Warrior OS is an asset, not a liability."
Dan offers, "although a few grams lighter than the midplus, the TT Warrior OS did have a slightly heavier feel on serves. The good news is that this lent a more solid feel. With 10 square inches more of head size, the 16x19 string pattern enhances slice and kick, often hard to find in other oversize models."
Once again, the TT Warrior's combination of weight and balance make it maneuverable, yet stable when returning serve. Dan says, "unlike many oversize racquets, taking full swings against first serves didn't find the back fence. When returning short or weak second serves, th racquet's propensity for slice allowed for very effective approach shots - great for aggressive net players or doubles specialists. John comments, "having already established that the TT Warrior OS is a very maneuverable stick, it is no surprise that I found the racquet very effective when returning serve. One cannot be shy though. You need to hit out and through the ball or you're apt to hit a short and/or weak return. Don offers, "I liked the benefit of maneuverability and the oversize head, combined with the stability and solid feel.. Whether blocking back booming first serves or thumping a short second serve, the TT Warrior OS didn't disappoint me. My best returns, however, were chip & charge returns against second serves."
The Triple Threat Warrior Oversize doesn't play second fiddle to its midplus brother. It provides just that much more power and reach, without sacrificing control for most players. If you've been considering a change to an oversize tweener/player racquet that delivers power, spin control and comfort, you'll want to give the Triple Threat Warrior Oversize a test drive.

DVR alert: John Ford's The Grapes of Wrath tonight on TCM
Two singular talents conjure the visual poetry of The Grapes of Wrath, the 1940 adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel that shows at tonight at 12:15 a.m. CST on Turner Classic Movies. One is John Ford, who, despite his protestations to the contrary, could do a lot more than make Westerns (see also The Informer and How Green Was My Valley, among others). The other is cinematographer Gregg Toland, who just one year after Grapes would help Orson Welles reinvent cinema's vocabulary with Citizen Kane. For all of Grapes' emotional heft – the penny candy scene always puts a lump in my throat – it's the look that always grabs me first, starting with that flickering match that illuminates the Joads' abandoned home near the beginning of the film. For more on the film's visual compositions, social themes, and Henry Fonda's indelible performance as Tom Joad, check out A.O. Scott's fine video essay below.

Federal austerity hits home in the West
When the Tea Party tide crested in 2010, a number of Western Republicans surfed it into the U.S. House of Representatives. There was Colorado Springs' Rep. Doug Lamborn, who promotes gutting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, saying it's "low-hanging fruit" that must be picked to shrink the federal deficit. New Mexico Rep. Steve Pearce harnessed anti-government momentum to win a tight oilman v. oilman race. Idaho Rep. Raúl Labrador, at first a long shot, also triumphed. In January, Pearce and Labrador were among 12 Republicans who voted against John Boehner for speaker of the House. Boehner supported a fiscal cliff deal they believed included too many tax hikes ($600 billion over 10 years), and too few spending cuts ($0).
But the cuts just came later. On March 1, after Congress and the White House failed (again) to agree on a deficit-reducing budget, across-the-board discretionary spending cuts were triggered. The so-called "sequestration" is recognized by even the most conservative of conservatives as bad policy because the cuts are indiscriminate. Still, it is ostensibly a win for them. This time, they got spending cuts ($1.2 trillion over 10 years) without tax increases ($0). On Meet the Press, Labrador said, "Most folks in Idaho are saying that we did the right thing."
So it was surprising to hear Pearce tear into Senate Democrats for failing to increase the U.S. Forest Service's budget post-sequester, saying he was "bewildered" they would ignore wildfire threats by cutting the agency's funding. Or maybe it's not so surprising: New Mexico has recently endured historic wildfires, which are fought with federal money. Lamborn voted against the Budget Control Act in 2011, which mandated sequestration if a deficit deal wasn't reached. Though most economists agree meaningful deficit reduction won't come without slimmer military budgets, he opposed the sequester's potential trims to defense, probably because Lamborn's district is home to three military bases.
These deficit hawks' less than full-throated support of the budget cuts could be read as an implicit acknowledgment that though government largesse is a convenient political punching bag, many Western communities aren't that interested in giving it up.
For proof, liberal pundit David Sirota suggests looking to California. Facing its own budget crisis in 2011, and with Republicans unwilling to support tax increases, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown deeply slashed higher education, health care, welfare, state workers' pay and the criminal justice system. The most painful cuts could be avoided, Brown argued, if voters approved tax increases. He put a temporary tax hike on the rich to fund education before voters last fall, and it passed easily. The political lesson, Sirota says: Government is easy to hate in the abstract, but austerity is tough to stomach in practice.
That's not true everywhere. In 2010, cash-strapped Colorado Springs asked voters to approve taxes to fund streetlights, law enforcement and park maintenance. They wouldn't, and the streets went dark, many public services were privatized, and citizens were invited to "adopt" lights and trash cans. Whether or not privatization actually saved money, many stood by it on principle. Last spring, Councilwoman Jan Martin told This American Life about a man who adopted a streetlight for $300 and thanked her for the program. "I did remind him that for $200 if he had supported the tax initiative, we could have had not only streetlights, but parks and firemen and swimming pools and community centers," Martin said. The man replied that he would never support higher taxes.
But as the birthplace of Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) -- a constitutional stranglehold on how much state and local governments can tax and spend -- Colorado Springs is unique in its dogmatic willingness to forgo government services. Many other Coloradans have voted to circumvent TABOR, allowing cities and counties to outspend its limits for schools and roads.
Will the new federal spending cuts cause enough pain in the rural West to seed the sort of pro-tax sentiment that has emerged in California's and Colorado's austerity wakes? Probably not, at least in the short term.
It's too early to tell what the full impact of the cuts will be. But for the most part, they won't be the drastic, sudden shock that Brown's were in California, where universities took a 25 percent budget cut and 70 state parks were threatened with closure. These will be more gradual and cumulative, with agencies like the U.S. Forest Service, Environmental Protection Agency and Bureau of Land Management spending around 5 percent less this year.
That's not to say the cuts won't cause real pain. The states' share of federal mineral royalties will be slashed -- a $53 million blow to Wyoming and $26 million loss for New Mexico between now and July. Counties are being asked to repay money already distributed under the Secure Rural Schools Act. Popular federal beneficiaries, like national parks, will suffer too. The Park Service will hire 10 percent fewer seasonal workers this summer. And these are only the most recent cuts absorbed by agencies. Federal employees have endured salary freezes and heavier workloads for a few years as vacant jobs go unfilled. Sequestration promises more of the same. Public-lands users may notice dirtier bathrooms, disheveled trails, longer lines at park entrances and shuttered campgrounds.
"Funding for national parks in today's dollars was (already) 15 percent below where it was a decade ago," says John Garder of the National Parks Conservation Association. "They have been falling through the cracks as part of a broken process that is not meaningfully addressing the deficit."
Unfortunately, the hardest-hit communities will likely be the neediest. Indian Health Services, a chronically under-funded agency that enjoyed meaningful budget bumps recently thanks to champions like Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, wasn't exempted from the sequester like veterans' and children's health programs were -- an accidental oversight. "But once it's law, you have to pass a whole new law (to change it)," explains Native American journalist Mark Trahant, who is writing a book about fiscal austerity. "In this Congress, that isn't going to happen."
Reservation school districts depend heavily on federal aid in lieu of property tax; Arizona's Window Rock Unified School District may be forced to close schools. Tribal colleges, which provide community services like buses, libraries and Native language education, may eliminate summer school, GED programs, and cut staff pay and healthcare, says Carrie Billy, who heads the American Indian Higher Education Consortium. Such cuts represent a breach of trust, she says. "The only tribal colleges that receive federal funds are colleges chartered by federally recognized tribes. They signed binding treaties with the federal government to fund education. They didn't just say 'when we have the money available.' And our little pot is still being cut."
The complexity of the numbers, past commitments, and mixed desires is just huge. A nice primer on the scope of the challenge: http://s3.amazonaws.com/kpcbweb/files/USA_Inc.pdf Here is the 2012 update: http://www.kpcb.com/insights/2012-usa-inc-key-points
Yet when budget cuts are threatened, the USFS holds a gun at the puppy's head and claims they have no choice but to slash recreation and firefighting. So... where does the other $4.6 billion of their budget get spent?
But yes, the forest service does have overhead, and yes it does do many other programs, including logging (and road-building for logging), biology, and forest products research, among many other things. They spend nearly a billion dollars on "land management and restoration"; maybe that's great, or maybe it is the public cleaning up after logging, mining, and other land abuses.
My point is, when the USFS is called on by Congress to cut its budget, it threatens to slash firefighting and campground services. It does not threaten to reduce the number of biologists studying stuff, to reduce the roads it builds for loggers, or to eliminate its programs for looking for new commercial uses for old forest plants. When it comes to cuts, it is as if the only part of the budget that exists is that part of the budget iceberg that we can see above the surface - trails, campgrounds and firefighting.
It is in my view an understandable political ploy. Yet, it begs the question: why not talk about all those costs in the iceberg that we can't see?
As for the wildfire figure I used, I probably should have been more specific. I was including only the budget for fire "suppression". I excluded "preparedness" and other management ($1.36 billion), as well as the "suppression reserve" fund (essentially a savings account of $315 million). Taken together, all these elements indeed approach 50% of the budget (depending on how you slice it - the budget gets pretty complex when factoring in mandatory programs and revenues). Even then, firefighting, fire preparedness, and recreation is only half of the USFS budget; what's in the rest? And why aren't they cutting those support and research programs instead of cutting firefighting and recreation?
I did not exclude the fie preparedness items for any particular reason, except to my mind the "preparedness" budget is indeed a mystery. At least at first glance. The FS spends more preparing for than they do fighting fire. And that sort of budget line item can be a prime dumping ground to hide programs that are only indirectly related to fire-fighting - like subsidizing logging and dealing with beetle kill - or perhaps the costs of preparedness are more related to protecting urban interface private property owners from fire, which is an expenditure that deserves some philosophical scrutiny. Why don't they threaten to stop doing that; stop subsidizing private homeowners that remove fire hazards on their own property?
Again, according to the USFS's own figures, they spend 16% of tier budget on fire suppression and trails/campgrounds/wilderness.
My figures come from the USFS published budget. Found here: http://www.fs.fed.us/aboutus/budget/ . See page 30 (B-1) for a summary table.
The current propaganda coming out of the billionaire funded think tanks is that "government is too big". The main benefit from "smaller" government is that tax revenues can be reduced. So, the reason billionaires put millions into think tanks, right wing politicians and "tea party" groups is to lower their tax bills. They save hundreds of millions. It is a great return on investment.
How's that cat food tasting?

Western Digital, the world's second largest maker of hard disk drives (HDDs), is in talks regarding acquisition of hard drive business from Fujitsu. The two companies are projected to sign the deal, which would substantially boost WD's positions on the market of mobile HDDs, by the end of the year.
According to Japanese news-paper Nikkei, which is quoted by IDG News Service, Western Digital plans to acquire Fujitsu's HDD business unit along with plants in Japan, the Philippines and Thailand for ¥70 billion to ¥100 billion (US$661 million to US$944 million). At present the companies are still in talks, but if everything goes well, the agreement is expected to be reached by the end of 2008.
Western Digital commanded 22.5% of the HDD market in 2007, according to IDC, whereas market share of Fujitsu was 7.1%. Even though the combined company (with 29.6% of the market) would not be able to beat Seagate Technologies, which supplied about 35% last year, but Fujitsu has a lot of experience in making hard drives for mobile computers, which would automatically make WD much stronger overall.
Earlier this year it was rumoured that Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, which is the globe's No. 3 maker of HDDs, expressed interest in acquiring hard disk units from Fujitsu and Toshiba, which would allow it to become the second largest hard drive vendor. In fact, the combination of Hitachi, Fujitsu and Toshiba would be able to command approximately 33% of the market.
Neither WD nor Fujitsu commented on the news-story.

Iconic Tahoe City building to become downtown hotel
December 4, 2013
TAHOE CITY, Calif. — A prime piece of real estate in downtown Tahoe City is in the process of being sold to a buyer who intends to build high-quality lodging.
The Henrikson building at 255 North Lake Blvd. is in escrow, while the interested buyer, Palo Alto, Calif.-based Kila Properties, evaluates the property for challenges associated with its redevelopment.
"The hope is we're able to bring high-quality lodging to Tahoe City that helps the revitalization of the area," said Samir Tuma, CEO of Kila Properties.
The intent is to build a lodging establishment that plugs into the community and its assets, including the Tahoe City Golf Course, Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River, he said.
Steve Hoch, executive director of the Tahoe City Downtown Association, is in favor of the idea.
"Every time we do surveys we find that we are still short on quality lodging here in Tahoe City," he said.
Construction of the Henrikson building started around 1957 by former owner and longtime Tahoe resident Ollie Henrikson, with the intent of building lodging for the 1960 Winter Olympic Games, said Brad Hester, of Hester Real Estate, who brokered the deal to Kila.
"It's a work in progress that never progressed," he said, referring to the building.
The two-floor, stucco building with red and blue trim currently houses several businesses.
"Not everyone's excited," said Vicky Biggs, owner of Vicky's Cyber Cafe, located inside. "They're displacing six or seven businesses in town, with not a lot of community help to get us relocated, if we can."
Finding available space in Tahoe City that meets business needs and is affordable will not be easy, Biggs said.
Barry Giansiracusa, co-owner of Ring Around the Rosie, located in the building, said rent is "very affordable," explaining how several business got their start there, including Tahoe Dave's Skis & Boards — then known as Dave's Ski Shop.
"There's a huge amount of history with this building, with Ollie and his family," he said.
Henrikson's two sons inherited the building after Ollie's death in 2012 and have decided to the sell the 1.4-acre property, Hester said.
Negotiations between the owners and Kila Properties began about three months ago, Tuma said.
Should the sale go through — at which point the price would be disclosed — Kila Properties would demolish the existing building, Tuma said, and in conjunction with redevelopment, it would be brought to current code.
Kila Properties has already started work with Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Placer County, TCDA and other stakeholders.
Since the sale is a process, it's unclear when the deal may close, Tuma said.
Ideally, the sale would close by the end of spring 2014, Hester said, with construction possibly starting two years afterward.

text: The goal of this investigation was to characterize the manual and automated response of residential customers to high-price "critical" events dispatched under critical peak pricing tariffs tested in the 2003-2004 California Statewide Pricing Pilot. The 15-month experimental tariff gave customers a discounted two-price time-of-use rate on 430 days in exchange for 27 critical days, during which the peak period price (2 p.m. to 7 p.m.) was increased to about three times the normal time-of-use peak price. We calculated response by five-degree temperature bins as the difference between peak usage on normal and critical weekdays. Results indicated that manual response to critical periods reached -0.23 kW per home (-13%) in hot weather (95-104.9°F), -0.03 kW per home (-4%) in mild weather (60-94.9°F), and -0.07 kW per home (-9%) during cold weather (50-59.9°F). Separately, we analyzed response enhanced by programmable communicating thermostats in high-use homes with air-conditioning. Between 90°F and 94.9°F, the response of this group reached -0.56 kW per home (-25%) for five-hour critical periods and -0.89 kW/home (-41%) for two-hour critical periods.


text: Ron Guth: The 1852-O Half Dime has the second smallest mintage of any New Orleans Half Dime from the 1850s (the rarest is the 1853 No Arrows Half Dime). Overall, this date is hard to locate in any grade, especially in Mint State, where the typical grade is MS64. Gem examples are super-rare, and the finest example is a stand-out PCGS MS66+. Fully struck 1852-O Half Dimes are essentially unknown; most show weakness on the denticles, one or more of the stars, and on the high points of the wreath.

In short: The hill wasn't so bad after all!!Date of review: February 4, 2008
In short: worth doing for the muddy challengeIn full: course was great a good mix of terrain with lots of puddles and mud. Not enough loos and some runners uncertain about where the next lap started and finishing section began.Stewards could have helped guiding people in.Date of review: January 21, 2008
In short: A cracking run.In full: Well organised,stewards superb and a great course. My first all terrain race and I will definately do some more.Date of review: January 14, 2008
In short: Enjoyable Run, Muddy, A Good Way to Spend a Sunday Morning.In full: Very enjoyable run, well organised and a moderately challenging course, especially with the mud, BUT it was way short of a 10k, i clocked it at 9.2k(5.8m) which is a bit disappointing when you think you've ran a good time. Overall though i enjoyed it and will be back for the next one.Date of review: January 14, 2008
In short: Muddy and slightly hilly, good fun.Date of review: January 14, 2008
In short: best race ive done yet , fantasticDate of review: January 13, 2008
In short: First time for this sort of race, very enjoyable. Not too hard.Date of review: January 13, 2008
In short: Mud, hills, water, grass, hardbase tracks, trees, a bit of everything for everybody, from the fast "professionals" to the slow first timers. In full: Enjoyable friendly event and a good introduction to off road racing.I would recommend wearing trail shoes as the start area and the big hill are very muddy. Nice to run through the trees and the narrow tracks(makes overtaking fun but at least the trees keep the wind off you). There are plenty of twists and turns to keep your mind off the distance you are running, and by the end of lap 2 you are supprised you have finished. There is 1 water station at the start of the second lap and you find out how hard it is to drink from a cup whilst running! As a first timer to this type of event I found it great fun and a change from running on boring roads. Somehow, despite the terrain, I managed to take 2 mins off my fastest road 10km time. How did that happen!!! Can't wait for the next 2 eventsDate of review: January 13, 2008
In short: Muddy, hilly but good funIn full: Expected better organisation that what it prooved, plenty of marshalls but they did not seem able to discuss routes or registration. Portacabin toilets only because of referbishment ot the building. But at the end of the day it was good value and great fun as the hill was testing and the must was novell to me, first time I've done this one but was told last year was muddier. Well chuffed with my time and I've looking forward to returning for the other two rounds next month. All time favourite? ....yes... but only because i've not done anything like this beforeDate of review: January 13, 2008

Tuesdays With Rita: Childhood Photos

I do love that bonnet you are wearing in the baby photo. Maybe on Easter you wanted a few more jelly beans!!ReplyDelete
These pictures are so cute, Rita!! I love seeing you with your dad.ReplyDelete
What great photos Rita! I love the bonnet too. I was a very energetic and "ham" child. But only in my little circle of comfort. Whenever I was in public with my family, I got really shy and dependent. I was very conscientious. Unless I was on a stage and meant to come out of my shell.ReplyDelete
Wow, fantastic photos, Rita!!! And I love the hat!!! Thank you SO much for leaving the comment on Etsy--I'm lost when I'm over there too!!!ReplyDelete
rita, our house burned down to the ground when I was in 4th grade so I have about 6 pictures of my childhood. i would love to rummage thru all your black and white photos. it's so fun to go back in time to a certain place. mysterious and magical.ReplyDelete
Nice photos. As for me I'm surprised that my parents - and then myself- managed to keep all our photos. We moved so much, I lived all over the place, being Palestinian, it was hard not belonging anywhere - thus I am teh Gypsy, belonging everywhere and nowhere :-) I just saw Kelly's blog about willowing, too. I'm gonna check it out.ReplyDelete

The Poppy
Statements By Members

Ivan Grose Oshawa, ON
Mr. Speaker, at this time of year when most of us are wearing the symbol of supreme sacrifice, the poppy, a question nevertheless is sometimes asked: Did the young Canadians who made this sacrifice die in vain?
Yesterday in a citizenship court in Oshawa this question was answered eloquently by 54 people of 17 different countries. These people had decided that the country bequeathed to us by the total sacrifice of too many young Canadians was, to use the words often quoted by a prominent member of the House, "the best country in the world".
I say to those who may oppose this comment that the evidence suggests they are mistaken. Being a long time gambler I will go with the odds. Fifty-four people from seventeen cultures say they are wrong. Come join with us and make it 18 different cultures working to enhance that which was so dearly bought.
I would also like to point out to all hon. members wearing a poppy that as a symbol of the supreme sacrifice it should be worn above all other symbols and decorations including the parliamentary pin.
John C. Polanyi

Bill Graham Rosedale, ON
Mr. Speaker, on November 3 and November 4, 12 Nobel laureates from around the
world, four of whom are Canadian, will gather at the University of Toronto to inaugurate the John. C. Polanyi chair in chemistry. The celebration will be accompanied by a series of free public lectures entitled the "Science in Society Lectures" to be given by the laureates at the University of Toronto.
I mention this event not only because it honours a great Canadian, a wonderful professor at the University of Toronto and, if I may say, a resident of my riding of Rosedale, but also because it is a reminder of the important place which scientific research occupies in our modern Canadian society. It is a reminder of the role of our universities in ensuring that basic research continues to advance the interest of science and thus of all Canadians.
We all owe a great deal to the countless number of dedicated researchers throughout Canada of whom John Polanyi is one remarkable example. If Canada is to continue as one of the world's leading technological countries, we must support these men and women and the universities at which they work and teach.
Social Work

Tony Ianno Trinity—Spadina, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week graduates from Canada and around the world met at Toronto to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the faculty of social work at the University of Toronto.
Social workers play a pivotal role in Canadian communities through the promotion of social justice and equity for all groups in society irrespective of class, gender or cultural heritage, and especially for the disadvantaged during financially tough times.
As the oldest faculty of social work in Canada and the third oldest of its kind in North America, the faculty has left a proud legacy of achievements. Research advances in child welfare, family care giving for Alzheimers disease victims and family mediation are only some of the areas in which the faculty has contributed to the betterment of Canadian society.
I would therefore like to take this opportunity to recognize the great work done by social workers and to congratulate the faculty of social work of the University of Toronto as it celebrates its 80th anniversary.
Electronic Highway

Yves Rocheleau Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, adding insult to injury, yesterday the Minister of Canadian Heritage indicated that he was prepared to consider letting Quebec play a role with respect to the electronic highway, a role as important, said the minister, as that of cable companies or municipalities.
In so doing, the minister showed how indifferent he is to Quebec's cultural identity. It should be obvious that the electronic highway would have a decisive impact on Quebec society. It should be obvious that its cultural and educational content is the exclusive jurisdiction of the government of Quebec.
And incidentally, how does the minister account for the lack of representatives from Quebec's cultural community on the advisory council on the electronic highway?
The minister's incompetence and his lack of sensitivity to these issues are another good reason to demand his resignation.
Esprit De Corps
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jack Frazer Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, in addition to questions about the integrity of this government regarding the Minister of Canadian Heritage, I must raise the issue of integrity within the defence department.
It has now become clear that defence, along with Industry and Science Canada, is actively attempting to undermine and close down the operation of a small military magazine, Esprit de corps , which had the audacity to criticize defence department procedures and officials.
By threatening to refuse contracts to companies like Mercedes Benz and General Motors that advertise in the publication, the government is attempting to remove the base upon which the magazine operates. These are the tactics of a police state, not a developed democracy. In Canada, citizens have a right to criticize the government if they disagree with its policies or practices.
I do not agree with everything Esprit de corps says or how it is said, but I passionately defend its right to say it and I am appalled that senior government officials think otherwise.
The minister of defence has been repeatedly advised but refuses to act on problems within his department. He has no excuse for inaction here.

Stan Dromisky Thunder Bay—Atikokan, ON
Mr. Speaker, the plan released today by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration is the result of a comprehensive consultative process and is the first government consultation to come to fruition.
After talking to a cross-section of Canadians over an eight-month period, the minister has tabled a strategy which reflects the needs and desires of our countrymen. The changes introduced will ensure an increased emphasis on immigrants
with skills and investment potential while continuing to make family reunification a priority.
This plan generated by the people of Canada reflects compassion, humanitarianism and tolerance, time honoured values of the Liberal Party.
I tip my hat to the minister and to the people of Canada for a well balanced and comprehensive citizenship and immigration program that shall meet the needs of Canadians for years to come.

Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, our eastern Ontario caucus was informed that the only increase in tourism in our region during the recent recession was the result of overflow tourists from Quebec. These were visitors brought to Canada by Quebec government advertising.
I believe the federal government through the new tourism commission should work with the private sector to promote Canada by promoting Canadian heritage. In eastern Ontario, for example, the Trent, Severn and Rideau waterways are part of our national heritage. They are a great attraction to tourists from other provinces and countries.
Promotion of major features of Canadian heritage will attract tourists to Canada from around the world and will encourage Canadians to travel in Canada. At the same time promotion of Canadian heritage will strengthen our sense of national identity.
Let us encourage interest in our heritage in Canada and around the world.
Quebec Referendum
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Ronald J. Duhamel St. Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House that the leader of the Bloc Qebecois has just sided with the Prime Minister, whom he now supports. Indeed the leader of the Bloc Quebecois said yesterday that he now wants a referendum "as soon as possible".
This new position of his is in contrast with what he was saying on September 20, when he pleaded for a referendum at a time where it would be likely to be won. Now that the official opposition and the government agree on holding a referendum as soon as possible, we hope that the leader, the self- described partner of Jacques Parizeau in the referendum saga, will be able to convince his associate to proceed forthwith. Then, as the Prime Minister was saying, we can put to rest the uncertainty that now prevails.
National Defence
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jean H. Leroux Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, in its dissenting report tabled yesterday, the Bloc Quebecois demands that the Minister of National Defence proceed with a complete review of military spending, in particular the purchase of submarines, taking into account the new missions the armed forces will have to undertake in the years to come.
The measures proposed in the majority report of the special joint committee do not go far enough. The Minister of National Defence must come up with a realistic budget, in keeping with the catastrophic situation we are in because of the deficit. The minister must try harder to streamline operations to cut some $1.6 billion.
The government must show more courage and tackle a deficit which is eroding the future of our children.

Paul Forseth New Westminster—Burnaby, BC
Mr. Speaker, for the third time in less than a month the excuse of extreme drunkenness has been used as a defence in a criminal court.
The Supreme Court recently made a ruling in the Daviault case and what has ensued has been devastating for all victims. On Friday in Alberta a man was acquitted of assaulting his wife following a 24-hour drinking binge in 1993. The judge ruled that the man could not be held responsible for his actions because he was so drunk he was insane.
Reform MPs have twice asked the Minister of Justice to enact legislation to plug this loophole but we still have seen nothing.
This is not the Land of Oz and the minister I hope is not Dorothy. Supposedly the justice minister is troubled by these cases, but we all know that his clicking of the heels three times will not make the issue disappear. Amending legislation must be brought in immediately if victims in the country have any chance at all for justice.
Canadian Wheat Board
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Len Taylor The Battlefords—Meadow Lake, SK
Mr. Speaker, the minister of agriculture has stated that the debate surrounding the future of the Canadian Wheat Board is an important one. In response he has announced a process which will include asking farmers what they think.
Consultation is important. Indeed just two years ago farmers were consulted in what was then known as transportation talks wherein a vast majority of farmers and rural residents spoke in favour of maintaining the crow benefit and strengthening the Canadian Wheat Board. Then more than 13,000 rural Saskatch-
ewan residents attended a rally in Saskatoon, the vast majority again sending the message to Ottawa that a strengthened wheat board was necessary to protect the positive future of agriculture in Canada.
The minister of agriculture and his party have in the past expressed strong support for the Canadian Wheat Board. In light of consultations that have already occurred, I urge the minister to stand firmly behind the board and its long term commitment to farmers.
Bell Island

Bonnie Hickey St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honour the 69 men who perished in the fall of 1942 near Bell Island, Newfoundland. I would also like to pay tribute to those in the community of Bell Island who have kept the memory of these men alive.
Many Canadians do not know that Bell Island was the only community in North America to come under direct enemy fire during World War II. In the fall of 1942 four ships, three from Britain and one from France, were sunk by U-boats in two separate incidents. Although 69 men died the people of Bell Island are credited with saving many lives.
Tomorrow, November 2, the Royal Canadian Legion of Bell Island will dedicate a seamen's memorial at Lance Cove Beach, close to the spot where the four ships were sunk. A special plaque to honour the people of Lance Cove is also included in the memorial.
The liberal government has introduced the Canada remembers program, and in this spirit tomorrow the community of Bell Island plans to commemorate an event that should never be forgotten.
Civil Aviation

Stan Keyes Hamilton West, ON
Mr. Speaker, as chairperson for the Standing Committee on Transport it is my privilege to acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the opening of the international conference convened in Chicago to plan the post-war future of international civil aviation. I would like to note that the ICAO was created to ensure the orderly development of civil aviation.
In honour of the 50th anniversary the ICAO has convened another worldwide transport conference that will be held in Montreal on November 23. There are many global developments that will influence the future evolution of commercial air transportation in the years to come. These include changing trade patterns, technological advances and the growing affluence of countries that were once less developed.
It is therefore quite timely for the nations of the world to begin reviewing the economic rules and regulations under which international air services are operated.
The ICAO is to be commended for the leadership it has shown by organizing this conference. I wish all the conference participants every success in their endeavours.

John Loney Edmonton North, AB
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my colleagues I rise to congratulate Juliette Kang of Edmonton, a brilliant young violinist, who won the gold medal, the $25,000 first prize, and first place in four individual categories at the recent International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. In fact she has captured more special prizes than anyone else in competition history.
Ms. Kang is internationally recognized as having virtuosity and great musical maturity, and the rare ability to regulate rational and emotional balance.
This morning Ms. Kang was a featured guest on CBC's "Morningside". Her exceptional talent was displayed in her performance of two pieces of music during the show. I hope the interview is replayed on "The Best of Morningside" this evening so that more listeners can hear this fabulous musician.
I would ask the House to join in recognizing and congratulating the dedication and sacrifice of Ms. Kang. Every Canadian should be proud to have such an accomplished representative in the international music world.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we are informed that the Minister of Canadian Heritage sent at least seven other letters directly to the CRTC, in addition to his letter supporting a licence application. The minister's error is definitely compounded by the frequency with which he interferes with the CRTC's decisions. In fact, the minister sees nothing wrong with maintaining a regular correspondence with a quasi-judicial tribunal. The minister himself said this morning that the news about seven other letters improved his credibility, which just shows how good his judgment is.
I want to ask the government how it can keep maintaining that the Minister of Canadian Heritage committed an honest mistake, knowing now it was not an isolated incident but common practice for this minister.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Comprehensive Description
White Clover (Trifolium repens) is a familiar weedy herbaceous plant with sprawling stems that is native or naturalized across most of the temperate regions of the world. The white or pinkish flowers are produced in heads consisting of dozens of flowers. It is a perennial and an insect-pollinated, obligate outcrosser; plants also spread vegetatively by stolons (Olsen et al. 2008). Like other plants in the Fabaceae (legume family), White Clover harbors microbes in its root system that are capable of fixing nitrogen, i.e., converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that is usable by plants. White Clover is one of the three-leafleted clover species that occasionally produces a leaf with four (or more) leaflets, i.e., a "four-leafed clover". The genetics underlying this phenomenon has been at least partly worked out (see Tashiro et al. 2010). Images of four-leafed clovers can be seen above and examples of multifoliolated clover leaves can be seen here, along with this intriguing quotation from Masters (1869): "[Trifolium repens] was gathered at night-time during the full moon by sorceresses, who mixed it with vervain and other ingredients, while young girls in search of a token of perfect happiness made quest of the plant by day."
White Clover exhibits a geographic polymorphism for cyanogenesis (the release of cyanide following tissue damage, a phenomenon seen in a very large and diverse number of plant species). Both cyanogenic and acyanogenic plants occur in natural populations, with acyanogenic plants predominating in colder climates for reasons that are not yet clear (Olsen and Ungerer 2008; Olsen et al. 2008 and references therein). This polymorphism has been studied since early in the 20th century, and represents one of the most thoroughly studied examples of an adaptive polymorphism in plants. Cyanogenic plants are generally found to be strongly favored in the presence of generalist herbivores, which avoid eating them. However, a number of costs appear to be associated with cyanogenesis, such as reduced drought tolerance, resulting in trade-offs that may favor cyanogenetic or acyanogenetic plants depending on local conditions. (Olsen et al. 2008 and references therein)

Here's how Americans send robots to MarsThursday, March 21st, 2013
UPDATE: Link to video repaired
Doesn't hurt to recap one of America's proudest achievements, sending a huge robot to Mars. Thanks to blimp pilot, author, and aerial photographer Hunter H. Harris of the Eastern Shore of Maryland for sending this link along. It's easy to get to Mars. You just build a rocket, aim to the right of the moon, and it's all downhill from there, as you'll see. Crank the volume–this one's hard to hear.

Some in Charlotte County balk at using a tourist tax to upgrade a stadium.
A deal to move the Devil Rays to Charlotte County for spring training could be in jeopardy.
Charlotte County hoteliers and the local tourism bureau are lining up against a proposal to use $15-million in tourist tax dollars to renovate the county's outdated baseball complex for the Rays.
Both groups say the money could be better spent attracting visitors still weary from the effects of the 2004 hurricane season. The county's Tourist Development Council formally rejected the financing plan last week.
"We are in hurricane recovery mode. We need to step up our marketing efforts to mitigate news coverage," said Becky Bovell, director of the county's tourism bureau. Spending money on the Devil Rays "sends the wrong message," Bovell said.
The rise of an opposition, especially within the tourist industry, is bad news for the Rays. Just 10 days ago, a team official was optimistic a deal would be struck to play spring games in Charlotte County as soon as 2009. The team has been looking to move its spring training operation away from St. Petersburg to build a new fan base that will carry over to the regular season.
"They have the best interests of the county at heart ," said Michael Kalt, the Rays senior vice president for development and business affairs. "We think we have a plan to help them."
Kalt said the Rays would consider joint marketing partnerships, including giving Charlotte County advertising space at Tropicana Field. The Rays also want the area to become a tourist draw because it could benefit the franchise, Kalt said.
Charlotte County administrators and the Rays want the county to raise the county's tourist tax to the state maximum - five cents for every dollar spent - to cover its share of the stadium renovations. The Rays would contribute $4-million and the state would pay $8-million toward the total renovation costs.
Charlotte County commissioners are scheduled to review the financing plan at a meeting today. One commissioner already has indicated he has reservations.
County Commissioner Adam Cummings said he will "have to be convinced" the Rays are worth the investment, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Rays officials were meeting individually with county commissioners Monday.
Cummings' concerns are critical. Because of a vacancy on the commission, all four remaining commissioners must approve the financing plan, said Charlotte County attorney Janette Knowlton.
A super-majority vote is required to approve any increase in the tourist tax, Knowlton said. Gov. Jeb Bush could appoint a fifth commissioner next month before a formal vote, but if there's any dissent today, the deal will be "pretty close to dead," she said.
"The need to get a 4-0 vote is somewhat unfortunate," Kalt said. "But it's the political reality. We're cautiously optimistic."
County officials also are reportedly mulling over a proposal to tear down the stadium, located in Port Charlotte, and replace it with a campus of Florida Gulf Coast University.
The stadium has been used for baseball tournaments and community events since the major league Texas Rangers left in 2002 to train in Arizona. A Korean baseball team spent time training at the complex last year.
The Cleveland Indians said they were interested in training at the site in 2003, but county commissioners rejected a plan that would have put the county on the hook for $9-million in stadium renovations.
The Rays have spent their springs at Progress Energy Park along St. Petersburg's waterfront. St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker said the city would not object should the team decide to move.
The Rays are considering other locations if the Charlotte deal falls through, Kalt said. Municipalities have until Oct. 1 to apply for the $8-million in state funding to attract a spring team.

Norma,Thank you for the data on the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni. I went back and took a look of the photos of the pepperoni slices from the cheese and pepperoni pizza that you purchased recently from Buddy's, at Reply 525 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=21559.msg225589#msg225589, and there appear to be similarities between the two pepperoni slices shown in the photos. However, we may have to await your using some of the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni slices on a Buddy's clone pizza to see if they are the same product. If you have a good taste memory, that might help you compare the Margherita pepperoni slices you received today with what was used on the Buddy's cheese and pepperoni pizza. You might even be able to tell strictly by appearance. There is nothing that says that Buddy's has to stay with any particular brand of pepperoni. However, I would imagine that all of the Buddy's locations are supposed to use the same pepperoni product. That ensures consistency of the Buddy's product from one store to another, just like the big pizza chains, and may also save Buddy's money. I agree with you that Buddy's is not using a cupping-type pepperoni. As you know, Buddy's makes a pizza called the Detroiter where the pepperoni slices are put on top of the cheese rather than under it. You can see from the photo at http://www.michigan.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/buddys-pizza-detroit.jpg that the pepperoni slices remain largely flat. As it turns out, the Hunt boys at Via 313 in Austin Texas make their own Detroiter pizza where the pepperoni slices do cup, as can be seen at http://foodjoy.squarespace.com/storage/IMG_5656.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1344281905849. In my opinion, those are two great looking Detroiter pizzas.I look forward to the results you achieve when you try the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni. Peter
I also went back and looked at the pictures I posted at Reply 529 and Reply 530 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg225589.html#msg225589 (especially the pepperoni slices in both of those posts). The pepperoni slices do look the same to me even if the pepperoni that was partially baked on the Buddys pizza doesnt exactly look the same. I noted what looked like fat, or whatever it was in those pictures and also the pictures I posted today. In those photos I did post pictures of the weights of those pepperoni slices. Do you think the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni could have lost that much weight from the partial bake of the Buddys pizza compared to the weights I posted today for the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni fresh without being baked?
If I find time to make another emergency dough without salt on Monday morning, do you think that would be the best way to test the Margherita pepperoni? At least that way it could give some more data for a final bake weight.
I also wanted to ask you if I should still use 1.25 ounces of the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni when I try it? I dont know what you thought about the weighs of the 20 slices of pepperoni. Do you think that weight is too high?
Norma,It is difficult to do "before" and "after" weighings of pepperoni slices because the "before" weights can vary so widely, as you noted in Reply 649 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg228577.html#msg228577. However, I suspect that the pepperoni slices render some of its fat content while trapped below the cheese. So, the pepperoni slices removed from the pizza after baking might weigh less as a result. I think that is as good a time as any. What we have been doing on this thread for the past two months is to try to replicate a typical Buddy's cheese and pepperoni pizza. Now you have a chance to see if the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni is another piece of the puzzle. Because the weights of the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni slices vary so widely, I think I would just use 20 slices on your Buddy's 4-square clone pizza and not worry about the total weight. That will vary from one pizza to another, although the variances won't be so great in any single case as to pose a problem. We are already contending with variations in the amounts of sauce and cheese, so the pepperoni is just another variable. About the only thing that is fairly constant is the amount of dough, and who knows how accurate Buddy's is when portioning out and scaling their dough balls? I think the only other constant is the salt, which I think is perhaps zero, just like the oil and sugar, which are also zero. Peter
I wonder how Buddys even gets its Nutrition Facts figured out since they just free do so many things.
Norma,If you go to the Buddy's website at http://www.buddyspizza.com/nutrition.asp?Category=3, you will see the following statement at the bottom of the page on how the Nutrition information was created:Nutritional information provided is based on Buddy's standardized recipes, representative values provided by suppliers, published resources and using industry standard software. A number of factors may affect the actual nutritional values for each product, including the fact that our menu items are handcrafted and may be customized, variations in serving size, preparation techniques, ingredient substitutions and supply sources. Accordingly, Buddy's cannot guarantee that the information provided is completely accurate as it relates to the prepared menu items in every Buddy's location. Some Buddy's locations may serve menu items which are not listed on this nutritional information page.Peter
Buddys extra sauce might even be a little bit thinner than what I made. The color seem to match up pretty good with Buddys sauce. Buddys extra sauce is on the left.
Norma,I could be wrong but I would imagine that Buddy's workers who make their sauce use full cans of tomatoes and water and do no weighing. As it so happens, a #10 can of the Saporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil weighs two ounces more than a #10 can of the 7/11s. In your case, using 150 grams of the two Stanislaus tomato products and 150 grams of water is a pretty close scaled down version of using one each of #10 cans of the two Stanislaus tomato products and one can of water. Maybe the empty cans of the two tomato products are rinsed with a bit of extra water that is then added to the sauce to thin it even further. Of course, Buddy's might be using some other combination of tomato products and water that results in a somewhat thinner sauce.Out of curiosity, I did a little research to see when Stanislaus as a company was founded. It was in 1942 (http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=30745958), or four years before Buddy's started making pizzas. So it is possible that Buddy's has been a long and loyal customer of Stanislaus. From what I have read, Stanislaus is a very good company, with many accounts that absolutely refuse to go with other suppliers even if the pricing is better.Peter
Norma,Can you tell me. How much IDY you used for the latest Buddy's emergency clone dough?Peter
I used 0.80% IDY for the Buddy's emergency dough this morning.
Norma,The spacing of the poppy seeds in the photo you showed suggests a rise in the Buddy's emergency clone dough of about 536%, or better than a quintupling of the dough. If that is correct, than it suggests that the dough can tolerate a lot of rise without permanent damage. It also tells us that the dough can be used within a fairly short window, maybe considerably shorter than the five-hour window you used.Based on the numbers you provided, the weight loss of the pizza was about 6.71%.Can you compare the latest pizza with earlier versions?Peter
Norma,I am away from home for the Xmas holiday and don't have my calculations in front of me but if the amount of water is increased, it will increase the amount of sauce and, at the same time, the amount of salt and sodium will decrease in value. If my memory is correct, the net effect of this is to move the sodium nutrition number a bit closer to the Buddy's sodium Nutrition data. If Buddy's is using the Stanislaus SuperDolce tomato product, the results shouldn't change that much since the SuperDolce product in the #10 can size weighs only two ounces more than the #10 can size of the Saporito Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil (or four more ounces than the #10 7/11s).Peter
Do you want me to try and get a sample of the Stanislaus Super Docle tomato product, or for now just keep experimenting with what I am?
Norma, It is up to you as to whether you should give the SuperDolce product a try. However, if we assume that the Buddy's Original Pizza Sauce contains noticeable tomato skin and fresh basil (added at the Stanislaus processing facility), then most realistically that means the 7/11s combined with either the Saporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil or the Super Dolce product. Otherwise, it would have to be some customized product from Stanislaus. I don't really see any other possibility looking at the standard tomato products at the Stanislaus website that are intended to be used to make pizza sauce. I suppose that Buddy's could be using both the Saporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce and the Super Dolce product along with the 7/11s, but that would strike me as illogical. I also don't think that Buddy's annual sales are high enough to warrant a customized product from Stanislaus.I think an interesting comparison against your Buddy's sample of their Original Pizza Sauce would be the 7/11s combined with the Saporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil on the one hand, and the 7/11s combined with the Super Dolce product on the other hand, with the proper amount of water in both cases. Such comparisons might be instructive on the matter of the sweetness element of the Buddy's Original Pizza Sauce.Peter

Denny Laine was good for the group - Band on the Run would have never happened if it wasn't for Denny
Chris, I agree with you here - just look at the events, people. Denny Seiwell and Henry McCulloch had just quit the band rather than go to Africa. All of a sudden, Paul lost his drummer and lead guitarist. That left himself, Linda, and Denny Laine. Denny stuck with him, and they got out to Africa and recorded the album. I rest my case
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

I just would have liked to see them in GB for the NFC championship game.
As would any Packer fan.
There is a difference between wishin' and putin' down the cash (so to speak).
I think Atlanta is getting dissed big time.
I also thought GB could beat San Fran.
My "money picks were Denver, San Fran, NE and Atlanta (though that is the tightest game to call.
My formula is based on PF & PA averaged over all the games.
+ 1 point for home field.
I had;
Denver by 7 (wrong)
San Fran by 2 (wrong)
NE by 7
Atlanta by .5
I still am a Packer fan.
I mean we have 13 World Championships, 4 SB's, why some teams barely have any.
Stan b & Elvis
An East coast vs West coast, Harbaugh vs Harbaugh Super Bowl? Wouldn't the reporters love that, and wear us out with endless story lines.
Harbaugh vs Harbaugh Super Bowl? Wouldn't the reporters love that, and wear us out with endless story lines. , That would be crazy the way they get worked up. They could do 3 round boxing match at halftime.
Chase perfection and accept excellence- Vince Lombardi
All sports thread, here on RTF , ESPN where ever are all dominated by Homers. Everyone thinks there team is this the best.
In the real world, I give that title to the Steelers. If the 49ers win another SB, they would be right there with them.

Eureka! It looks like you got it! Looking at those pics with the side view, it looks much more like the bottom half is crunchy and heading up to the upper half of the dough it's still more raw/chewy. Did it have that crunchy/chewy texture when you bit into it? (I realize you haven't had an actual Jets pizza so you don't know if it was exact - but those pictures seem to match mine fairly closely!)Nice work!How did you achieve that? Different temps or cooking times? Or, as you said, was the type of dough used actually the only difference?-Tommy Nott
The Queen of Sicilian is back! Seriously Norma, that's a hell of a good looking pizza. I have never tried my hands on Sicilian-style but might as well get to it finally. I have one question, though...In the pic below, is that liquid inside the container and on top of the dough?
Mike,Lol! Thanks for your kind words about the Jets attempt. I dont know how you would like Jets pizza, but Steve, my taste testers, some customers that have tasted them, and I really do like pizzas that are made in a pan. They are a lot easier to do than NY style pizzas because there is no stretching the dough ball out and the bake temperature really doesnt have to be real hot. Looking forward to seeing you try something like a Jets pizza, Buddys or Shields, or maybe a Victor Pig pizza, if you decide to try any of them! That picture you posted must have the light shining on it the wrong way. There was no liquid in the container. Maybe it was my fingers that cast that shadow. It does look like liquid in the container.Norma
Hi Norma,My bottom crust was indeed very crunchy and the dough reminded me of eating a Jets pizza. I live in Michigan and Jets deep dish is actually my favorite pizza. In my estimation, my attempt was a touch overcooked, but I recently moved, and am still tweaking cook times for my oven I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I used the Deep-Dish Dough Calculation Tool and set the "how far up the sides of the pan will the dough go" setting to 1". I noticed you used the expanded dough calculation tool. Everything else in my attempt was the same. I'm new here, but would love to contribute to anything needed to clone Jet's pizza, in particular, I'm interested in figuring out how to make a "jet fuel" clone
My attempt after this i reduced the "how far up the sides" from 1.25 to 1.00
Thanks Peter!I had assumed that the crusty cheese at the edges of a Jet's pizza were the same as Buddy's and Shield's, but I haven't had Buddy's or Shield's in so long... they may be taking extra steps to pile cheese at the edges while Jet's just extends the cheese to the edge without attempting to pile it up.I got my blue steel pans (at least blue in the order name - there is no blue color but I think blue probably refers to a process of rust resistance), washed them in warm soapy water, then dried them in the oven.While I was drying them by hand before placing them in the oven, I noticed that I was still getting gray "smudges" on my paper towel. Should I be concerned about this? I was planning on seasoning the outside of the pans as recommended elsewhere on the site, although I fail to see any harm in seasoning the inside of the pan too... even if it will season itself over time.
GFS indicate they do not handle Grande.

Topic: Undefined method?
I have a table called surveys. I made a scaffold for that. Now I want to find a specific row that has a certain value before a new can be made. In the new action I have:
def new
@asurvey = Survey.find(:all, :conditions => "status='Active'")
@survey = Survey.new
But in the page new.rhtml when I try @asurvey.id I get a big number instead of what I expect. And if I try to get another field like @asurvey.status I get an error "undefined method `status'". Why is that?
[OT] - I'm not sure RoR was such a smart move after all. I find myself struggling to find answers so much that I almost think I might go back to PHP. Is there a better manual for RoR in the works? Now it is far from the simplicity and elegance that PHP has.

Gendered Immigration: Implications and Impact on Social Work Education
Gendered immigration is a frame of reference for contextualizing the need for gender-specific immigrant services. Like other immigration societies, the United States disproportionately pays less attention to immigrant women. This article is a conceptual examination of the critical challenges faced by immigrant women from a global perspective. Special attention is given to the importance of social work education regarding service delivery structures for an increasing number of immigrant women in the United States.
