Notwithstanding the good news that Norma has given us, I have set forth below the next De Lorenzo/Robbinsville clone dough formulation for the members to consider. That formulation is based on my most recent De Lorenzo clone test dough that was, by far, the best of the De Lorenzo clone test doughs that I have made to date using the King Arthur bread flour (KABF). The latest test dough was for a one-day cold fermentation. I will also set forth below how I made the test dough using my basic KitchenAid stand mixer so that others might use the same method if they so desire. As before, the test dough was 10 ounces. The corresponding thickness factor (for a 14" skin) was about 0.065 (it's actually 0.0.06496). In terms of performance, the test dough was very similar to one of my earliest test doughs where I used the General Mills unbleached unbromated all-purpose flour with a hydration of 59%, 1% oil (blend), and a thickness factor of about 0.065. That dough was also a one day cold fermented dough. The latest test dough essentially mimics that earlier test dough but with a different flour (the KABF).As previously noted, my goal was to try to make a dough that would handle like those shown in the video that Norma took and posted at Reply 326 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25401.msg275403.html#msg275403. And, in that regard, I believe that I succeeded. The clone test dough opened with ease and I was able to stretch it to its final size (14") without any difficulty. In fact, I could have opened the skin to 16" or more had I chosen to do so. I wasn't quite sure what to expect because the dough had just about tripled in volume after one day of cold fermentation. I simply flattened the dough ball with the palm of my hand, and let it temper for about a half-hour at room temperature (the brief temper period was a concession to a warm Texas kitchen). There were no bubbles in the dough at any time during its fermentation, either in the storage container (I used a lidded glass Pyrex bowl) or on the bench. As with my prior tests, I put some cornmeal at the bottom of the storage container. There was no oil in either the storage container or the test dough ball itself. While I did not time the total time that it took me to open the test dough ball and stretch it, it was not much more than that shown in the video at Reply 326. The dough did not try to run away from me. It stretched and contracted as shown in the video. Yet, despite its nice balance between elasticity and extensibility, it was not a skin that could be tossed. After the skin was formed, I put it on a floured 14" wooden peel, where it stayed for over an hour. I did this to see if the skin would stick to the peel. It did not. With the above as background, here is the proposed De Lorenzo clone dough formulation:De Lorenzo Clone Dough Formulation #4Pillsbury Best Bakers Patent Flour (100%):Water (57%):IDY (0.30%):Salt (1.5%):Olive Oil (0.40%):Vegetable (Soybean) Oil (1.60%):Total (160.8%):178.95 g | 6.31 oz | 0.39 lbs102 g | 3.6 oz | 0.22 lbs0.54 g | 0.02 oz | 0 lbs | 0.18 tsp | 0.06 tbsp2.68 g | 0.09 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.48 tsp | 0.16 tbsp0.72 g | 0.03 oz | 0 lbs | 0.16 tsp | 0.05 tbsp2.86 g | 0.1 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.63 tsp | 0.21 tbsp287.75 g | 10.15 oz | 0.63 lbs | TF = N/ANote: Dough is for a single 14" pizza; the corresponding thickness factor = about 0.065; bowl residue compensation = 1.5%In terms of the dough preparation method I used, this was the sequence:1. Place the water, salt and oil blend in the mixer bowl and stir to dissolve the salt.2. Combine the flour and IDY in a container (I use a plastic bowl).3. With the flat beater attached, and with the mixer at speed 1, gradually add the flour mixture (I gradually shake the flour mix into the mixer bowl in a somewhat vibrating fashion so it is essentially sprinkled into the mixer bowl). 4. When the dough clears the sides of the mixer bowl, stop the mixer and replace the flat beater attachment with the C-hook. If the dough does not quite clear the sides of the mixer bowl with the flat beater attached, stop the mixer and combine the ingredients by hand to form a dough ball. It need not be smooth at this point but should hold together; it might even be a bit sticky.5. With the C-hook attached, knead the dough at speeds 2-3 for about 7 minutes.6. Stop the mixer and do a final knead of the dough ball by hand to make it round (this is where I weigh the dough ball and trim it to 10 ounces, if needed, measure the finished dough temperature, put the dough ball into its storage container, put the two poppy seeds in place, spaced 1" apart, and attach the lid). 7. Put the dough within its container, and with the lid attached, into the refrigerator. Note the time the dough is placed into the refrigerator.It will be noted that there is no rest period for the dough at any time, either in the mixer bowl or outside of the mixer bowl at room temperature before refrigerating the dough.Of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Just because I was able to make a dough that behaves like a Robbinsville dough does not mean that it will perform the same or as well as a Robbinsville dough in the oven. Peter
Now I am confused on what to try for my next attempt. Do you think the higher hydration formulation would be better to try?
Norma,As I previously mentioned, I believe that there is a range of possible baker's percents that will produce good results. Also, as I have mentioned before, my mixer may not produce dough balls that are as good as other members can produce, and certainly not as robust as what commercial mixers can produce, which would include the dough balls made at De Lorenzo/Robbinsville. The latest De Lorenzo clone dough formulation represents the best I can achieve in my kitchen, but whether it is better than the dough formulation that you and Trenton Bill used remains to be seen. At some time I would like to try to make a credible two day cold fermented De Lorenzo clone dough. Whether De Lorenzo/Robbinsville is using a one-day or two-day cold fermented dough is not clear. Members at the Trenton thread mentioned both time periods. So, I am not about to affix the label below to my De Lorenzo clone file .Peter
Which formulation do you want me to try for market Tuesday?
Looks good, Norma, esp. the rigidity.I think you need to get the top more charred by pouring, not brushing on the oil.And...I think the corniche is a little too big/puffy/doughy....and needs to be flattened more before it goes in the oven.I wonder if the mecca's lower oven is, perhaps, more of a broiler/salamander effect...which gets the top looking more cooked? In my oven, electric, there are tree elements for 2 decks So....there is usually heat coming from above if the thermostat has kicked in....and I usually get even charring, top and bottom. I've noticed in the pix on this thread that Robbinsville gets a less spotty bottom....i wonder if an even dusting of the flour they use as a lubricant is the reason?But...it sure looks good....is this Peter's last formulation? I hope to try it this weekend.
Norma,The other day I made another De Lorenzo/Robbinsville clone test dough. It was similar to an earlier two-day cold fermented version but with less oil (blend) and a higher hydration value. Specifically, this was the formulation: 57.5% hydration, 0.20% IDY, 1.5% salt, 0.30% olive oil, and 1.2% soybean oil (for a total of 1.5% oil blend). By selecting 0.20% IDY, what I was shooting for was a doubling in the volume of the dough after two days. As you know, and as you reported recently on another thread, it can be a challenge to make a dough in a home environment where the refrigerator door is opened and closed several times a day. I am always adding and subtracting things in my refrigerator so I am never quite sure what a dough ball sitting in the middle of everything is likely to do, even when I put it toward the back of the refrigerator compartment. Fortunately, somehow the test dough did not go wild. It increased in volume by 126% (a bit more than a doubling). I let the dough warm up for about 45 minutes. Previously, both during the cold fermentation of the dough and for most of the temper time, there had been no bubbling of the dough at any time or any place. However, toward the end of the temper time, I started to see signs of soft bubbles forming in the dough. There is really nothing with that kind of bubbling, and it is often responsible for some nice bubbles forming in the finished crust, even at De Lorenzo/Robbinsville, but I did not see signs of bubbling in the dough balls that I saw in the Robbinsville photos or in the video that you posted from your visit there. I decided to open up the dough ball. I was able to do this but it took longer to get the dough ball to open without springing back too much. But, using my knuckles, I was able to open up the dough ball to 14" quite easily. I even went to past 18" to see what would happen. The skin responded to my every move, without tears or anything else going wrong. There were soft bubbles in the skin, however, but I could not toss the skin. I mention all of the above because I am still wondering how De Lorenzo/Robbinsville manages to get dough balls that show no signs of bubbling, at least that I could see from everything I looked at. From my past test dough balls, I was able to form a decent skins in a decent amount of time even the dough balls had expanded in volume by double and triple. And it wasn't because I was using an excessive amount of yeast for what I was trying to do. Admittedly, with my latest test ball I was using a higher hydration than the 55% doughs that you and Trenton Bill tried with good results, so maybe that is a factor, or it might be a factor for a two-day cold fermented dough but not for a one-day cold fermented dough because of the extended fermentation of the two-day old dough ball. To explore things a bit further, I am in the process of making another two-day cold fermented test dough but with considerably less yeast. This time, I will not be shooting for a double. Rather, it will hopefully be less than that. I'd like to see if that dough will perform both during and after tempering without the formation of soft bubbles. I'd hate to blame that on Texas heat or my refrigerator if the bubbles do form. Peter
Norma,Since we were told that De Lorenzo/Robbinsville uses only a small amount of oil, I decided to reduce it for the last test. However, I wanted the sum of the hydration and the oil to remain at 59%, which is the same as I used for the dough formulation in Reply 699 that you referenced. As for the elasticity issue that I experienced with the last test dough until it started to open up, I would guess that it was either a more developed gluten structure or insufficient tempering, or maybe a combination of both. As you know, when you see only a single snapshot in time, as with the Robbinsville photos and video, there is no way to know where the dough is in its total fermentation cycle or window. In my case, I was trying to use my last test dough test before it started bubbling too much. Seeing the bubbling is what prompted me to think about a test dough that is low on fermentation. Hence, the latest test dough that I started yesterday. So far, after exactly one day of cold fermentation, the latest test dough has risen by a bit less than 42.4% according to the poppy seed spacing. The amount of yeast is 0.14% IDY. Each test dough that I make bears some relationship to one or more earlier test doughs. For me, that is the best way to learn. Peter
Norma,I have concluded the latest De Lorenzo/Robbinsville clone test dough. I would call it a success but I hasten to add that that does not necessarily mean that it is the best De Lorenzo/Robbinsville clone dough. That is something that would have to be tested by way of a finished pizza, much as with some of the other clone dough formulations that have been posted. But the idea of keeping the fermentation on the low side seems to have merit. As I mentioned previously, the latest clone test dough was a two-day cold fermented dough. As I learned when I worked on the original Papa John's clone dough, which used a small amount of yeast so that the dough could be used for three to eight days, such a dough shouldn't be used until at least two days of cold fermentation. Anything less than that, the dough will not rise fast enough (it needs to be jumpstarted fermentation wise) and it will be sour tasting. If De Lorenzo/Robbinsville is using a low yeast dough and a one-day cold fermentation, that might manifest itself in a unique crust flavor. As you will recall, more than one of our members in the Trenton thread commented on how the De Lorenzo/Hudson crust had a yeast-like flavor, including one member, whose family had frequented De Lorenzo/Hudson for over 40 years, who was certain that De Lorenzo/Hudson was using a natural starter. At this point, I am hesitant to conclude anything along these lines. I am just trying to fit another piece into the puzzle. The most recent De Lorenzo/Robbinsville clone dough was prepared in the same manner as the previous test dough but for one material change, and that was to sift the flour along with the IDY and vital wheat gluten (a bit less than 1/4 teaspoon). As previously mentioned, the IDY was only 0.14%. With that small amount of IDY, after two days of cold fermentation the spacing of the poppy seeds suggested that the dough had risen by about 67.5%. After removing the dough ball from the refrigerator after the two days of cold fermentation, I let the dough ball sit within its container for about one hour, much as a dough ball would sit in a dough box at De Lorenzo/Robbinsville. I then flattened the dough ball somewhat and placed it on my work surface, again much like De Lorenzo/Robbinsville does at the marble or granite work area between the two work stations, for about another 3/4 hour. So, the total temper time was about 1 3/4 hours. During that time, the dough softened a bit and spread somewhat. I think the dough ball could have tempered even longer, which it should have tolerated, but I decided to open it up anyway. I was able to do this with relative ease, using the two hand spread technique and letting the skin drape over the edge of my counter. Toward the end of that exercise, I lifted the skin and stretched it out to its intended final 14" size. The skin had a good balance between elasticity and extensibility, and I was able to stretch it to over 18". However, I would not have been able to toss and spin it. I should also note that at no time did the dough ball or skin exhibit bubbling. Apparently, the dough ball did not ferment long enough to induce bubbling.Here is the latest De Lorenzo/Robbinsville clone dough formulation:De Lorenzo Clone Dough Formulation #5Flour (100%):Water (57%):IDY (0.14%):Salt (1.5%):Olive Oil (0.20%):Vegetable (Soybean) Oil (0.80%):Total (159.64%):180.25 g | 6.36 oz | 0.4 lbs102.74 g | 3.62 oz | 0.23 lbs0.25 g | 0.01 oz | 0 lbs | 0.08 tsp | 0.03 tbsp2.7 g | 0.1 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.48 tsp | 0.16 tbsp0.36 g | 0.01 oz | 0 lbs | 0.08 tsp | 0.03 tbsp1.44 g | 0.05 oz | 0 lbs | 0.32 tsp | 0.11 tbsp287.75 g | 10.15 oz | 0.63 lbs | TF = N/A Note: The dough (10 ounces) is for a single 14" pizza; the corresponding thickness factor = 0.065; the bowl residue compensation = 1.5%You will note from the above that I lowered the hydration value from the 57.5% that I used for the last test clone dough to 57%, and I also reduced the oil (blend) back to 1%. So, the total remained at 58%. At this point, I am thinking of making another low-fermentation clone test dough but with a hydration of 56% and 1% oil. I may also let the dough rest in the bowl for a period long enough to let the dough start to ferment, and then refrigerate it. The rest period is to test whether De Lorenzo/Robbinsville does something like that, as one member previously reported at the Trenton thread. For a two-day low fermentation dough, this may mean even less IDY than 0.14%. As before, I will also sift the dry ingredients. Peter
Norma,By a "unique" taste I was thinking of something out of the ordinary that might confuse people as to what they are tasting. I would say that it would be rather unusual to eat a pizza that was made with a dough that was fermented for a short period and didn't rise much. For most doughs, most of us tend to think of at least a doubling of the volume of the dough, and we usually are OK with a tripling in volume and maybe even a bit more than that. In those cases, you will at least get the flavors that are the result of the byproducts of fermentation and, if the yeast quantity is high enough, you might get that musty flavor of yeast in addition. By contrast, an underfermented dough with a somewhat sour taste might lead to a "unique" taste. It is up to you as to whether to try the last clone dough formulation. However, I think it would be a pretty good experiment even if it tells us that we are barking up the wrong tree. My emphasis has been on trying to make a dough that does not exhibit bubbling and is easy to open up and form into a skin like is done at De Lorenzo/Robbinsville. There are only so many ways to achieve doughs like that. Making a low yeast, low fermentation dough seems to be one such way. A low yeast, brief fermentation with above average high hydration would be another. If we knew the fermentation protocol at De Lorenzo/Robbinsville that would be a big help in steering us in the right direction. I have been relying on reports of our members who have said that De Lorenzo/Robbinsville cold ferments its doughs for one day and maybe even two days or more. A low yeast dough such as I posted in my last post would be able to make it out to three days. Day 1 might be dicey. Days 2 and 3 should be better. But in a pinch, a Day 1 dough might be used. Pizza operators improvise all the time when their diners are at their tables ordering up pizzas.Peter
I wonder if De Lorenzo/Robbinsville does drizzle olive oil first on the skin. I did not see that when I was at De Lorenzo/Robbinville, but then I might have missed something.
Norma,Trenton Bill did an excellent job with his De Lorenzo clone pizza using his BlackStone oven. The pizza looks great. I believe he used the right flour, the right combination of tomatoes, and the right cheese, and all properly applied and at the right times. I especially liked his use of a decent amount of the tomato blend. From some of the Robbinsville photos I looked at, it seemed that the tomatoes were too sparsely applied, whereas photos I have seen elsewhere, such as Google Image, showed considerably more tomatoes. If Trenton Bill used the expanded dough calculating tool to come up with his version of the De Lorenzo clone dough formulation, along with a bowl residue compensation, I believe that this is what he might have used:Trenton Bill's De Lorenzo Clone Dough Formulation #2 for the BlackStone OvenPillsbury Best Bakers Patent Flour (100%):Water (57%):IDY (0.40%):Salt (1.50%):Total (158.9%):181.09 g | 6.39 oz | 0.4 lbs103.22 g | 3.64 oz | 0.23 lbs0.72 g | 0.03 oz | 0 lbs | 0.24 tsp | 0.08 tbsp2.72 g | 0.1 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.49 tsp | 0.16 tbsp287.75 g | 10.15 oz | 0.63 lbs | TF = N/ANote: Dough (10 ounces) is for a single 14" pizza; corresponding thickness factor = 0.065; bowl residue compensation = 1.5%If what Trenton Bill actually used was not what is shown above, if you can get the specifics of his formulation I think I should be able to come up with his specific version. I believe the bubble was due to the amount of IDY that Trenton Bill used, epecially for a one-day cold fermentation. When I have used 0.40% or even 0.30% IDY here in Texas, I got a tripling of the volume of the dough after one day. I'd also be curious to know if Trenton Bill had any problems opening up the dough ball, and also what technique he used to do so.At some time, Trenton Bill might want to use about 1% oil to see if that makes the formulation even better. 1% oil (blend) is less than a half-teaspoon so it shouldn't have a material impact on the dough and its performance.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this list. I remember reading
a few years back that a demo of this song was made by Paul for
Peter and Gordon. If there is anyone on this list who has the right
contacts, I (and probably many, many others) would love to find
out if this recording still exists in any of the archives.
Many of Paul's (and John's) other early demos have surfaced, but this still remains a big mystery!

Since Kinect motion sensor connects to Xbox 360 using conventional USB cable, it was quickly hacked to work on PCs with unofficial open-source drivers. Examples of experiments of Kinect usage with a PC can be found all around the Internet, but up until now no one has attempted to use Kinect in a mass commercial application. South Korean game developer called GamePrix this week announced plans to support Kinect in its PC-only Divine Soul title in future.
The forthcoming version of Divine Soul MMORPG promises to "resemble console games" by featuring a combat mode similar to that seen in Tekken will support Kinect as an input controller, the developer told IncGamers web-site. This will be the first application designed for the masses that will use Microsoft Kinect motion sensor that its developer designed exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game system.
"The game's support of gamepads makes it resemble console games even more, and is scheduled to support Kinect, a new control system of Xbox360. [...] Kinect will soon be available as a new controller so it might be supported like joy pad mode in the future," said Jason Lim, an official for GamePrix, told IncGamers.
It is noteworthy that Microsoft Kinect features a number of protection mechanisms that prevent its plug-and-play work on Windows-based personal computers. Microsoft is unlikely to remove such techniques from Kinect as the device helps to sell Xbox 360 game console and therefore software, which is why the device should remain an exclusive feature of the platform. As a result, GamePrix will have to distribute its game with generally illegal driver for Kinect.
"Microsoft does not condone the modification of its products. With Kinect, Microsoft built in numerous hardware and software safeguards designed to reduce the chances of product tampering. Microsoft will continue to make advances in these types of safeguards and work closely with law enforcement and product safety groups to keep Kinect tamper-resistant," an official statement by Microsoft reads.

I really like 212 by Carolina Herrera. Since I discovered it years ago always use it during the warmer months. It smells so good without being overpowering. Get a lot of compliments to the point that some of my friends have bought if for themselves so much they liked it on me. Also get compliments from men and believe it or not strangers on the street or in a store have mentioned how good I smell.

4 Lamb Building
Temple— 28th May 1867
My Dear Friend
It is impossible to express to you the joy with which we have at last
received the long wished for news of your release from the cruel and
wicked imprisonment to which you have been subjected — For two long
years you have never for a day been absent from our thoughts, and
whenever "two or three were gathered together" you were the sole theme
of our conversation, and of constant anxious but vain discussion as to
the possibility of doing any thing for your relief—
I have not for eighteen months past had the least idea that there was
any purpose to bring you to trial on the indictment, but I feared
interminable confinement, ruining yr health, and undermining your
spirits — I could well also judge of the effect of the constant yearning
for the sight of your little ones — Now this anxiety is at an end, but I
am shocked at some of the accounts I have seen of yr altered
appearance, of whitened hairs and excessive loss of flesh – I can only
hope that the breath of the fresh and free air, and the solace of
unrestrained intercourse with wife, children, and friends will act effect a complete change, and restore you to the enjoyment of the horse-back exercise so needful to yr constitution —
Pray write me a long, long letter, telling me how you are, whether
you are improving in strength since your release, and how is dear Mrs
Davis and Maggie and Jeff and Willie, and "Pie cake" – How these names
recall to me the anxious hours when we could not but perceive that our
holy and sacred cause was gradually crumbling under a pressure too
grievous to be borne, and when we looked every where in vain for some
sign of sympathy, some promise of help, some ray of hope –
MacRae and I are left here alone, and he is going soon to British
Honduras with a view to settlement – no man ever had a truer or more
devoted friend than you have in him, and since Mr Mason's departure his
is the only one with whom I have the least pleasure in talking over the
past – Hotze is as faithful as ever, but he is engaged on the continent
in connection with Reuter's Express Co. & I seldom meet him – My
wife and daughter are incessant in their enquiries about you and Mrs
Davis – Their sympathy was of course all the grater from the fact that
they were for some months utterly without means of knowing whether I was
alive or dead — They have just gone to
the waters of Luchon, for the health of both is not quite what I should

Im getting new pants for 2013 and I cant decide between the 2012 Empire Contact vs Contact Zero or the HK Hardline pants. They all seem close in terms of durability but im not sure which one offers the best ventilation, mobility to play front, and durability to take 8 events plus a world cup.

Empire by far. They are the most durable pants out there. HK soft goods aren't up to the standards of other companies yet, I've personally seen their pants and elbow pads ripped after little use.
Contact Zero are made to be lighter and better ventilated so those would likely be what you want to check out.

Empire makes heavily set pants, by that mean the padding is centered to wear u will slide/dive dye pants have padding which is very spread out and light. d try them on before hand though

Between contact and contact zeros, the contacts have better padding, and the contact zeros have more ventilation and are lighter.

Posted on 03/24/2014 11:04:01 AM PDT by tcrlaf
A court in Egypt has sentenced to death 528 supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
They were convicted of charges including murdering a policeman and attacks on people and property.
The group is among some 1,200 Muslim Brotherhood supporters on trial, including senior members.
Authorities have cracked down harshly on Islamists since Mr Morsi was removed by the military in July. Hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested.
They are expected to appeal.
The verdict now goes to Egypt's supreme religious authority, the Grand Mufti (a senior Islamic scholar), for approval or rejection, says the BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo.
Campaigners say that while death sentences are often handed down in Egypt, few have been carried out in recent years.
The final trial session will not be held until 28 April. so there is some time left before the sentence is confirmed and there will be time to appeal in that period, our correspondent adds
(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.com ...
Allah Ahkbar!
Whoa - those boys are playing for keeps, which is all that islamists understand.
Not everything that happens in other countries is under US control.
I hasten to add that I can't think of a bunch more deserving of the noose, except perhaps for the Democratic party here.
Maybe when they are finished there, they can start over here.
I wonder of Nic Robertson, of CNN (Tahrir square fame) will be there to find Egyptians swooning over Obama and his brilliant leadership on the world stage.
"The view from here is one of very happy to now hear that President Obama has swung behind the people." _Nic Robertson, CNN, Tahrir Square 2011, Egyptian ouster of Mubarek.
^^^^ My thoughts exactly. ^^^^
The US-Based NGO's financed the revolutionaries, and Mubarak was an impediment to The Obama Administrations plan for a "Greater Middle East" that isolates Isreal. (more recently rebranded to the milder-sounding "New Middle East.)
Mubarak was staunchly opposed to Obama policies on Iran and how to deal with its nuclear program, on Obama policies towards the Persian Gulf states, to Syria and to Lebanon as well as to the Palestinians.
He was a formidable thorn in the larger Radical Liberal agenda for the entire region. he had to be removed for the agenda of the Radical Islamists around Obama to go forward.
The Grand Mufti now says yay or nay .. Ruh roh.
"I wonder of Nic Robertson, of CNN (Tahrir square fame) will be there to find Egyptians swooning over Obama and his brilliant leadership on the world stage."
Oh no...
That was a previous Current Truth, that is different from the new, newer, newest current truth, that is Obama and the US had nothing to do with Mubarak's overthrow, no matter much credit they took for it.
And anyone who doesn't agree is simply a racist, that hates the idea of a black president.
I don't agree with the death penalty simply for a different political belief.
That's 528 times 70 virgins. Whoa.
According to the article, the charges include murder and mayhem.
So what about the billions in aid that once went to Egypt?
"A court in Egypt has sentenced to death 528 supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
They were convicted of charges including murdering a policeman and attacks on people and property."
If only the BBC and its allies wrote similar headlines concerning the killing of Christians.
Egypt is serious about ridding itself of terrorists. Unlike some other countries, Egypt say's We gonna Wash that Terrorism Out of Our Hair!
Sounds good to me. Hang on.
OMG! Rape jokes, Klan jokes, followed by Comedian Murderers! I feel guilty laughing, but laugh I did. It's the director's fault. Nowadays? Fuggitaboutit!
528? In one day? Let's hope they can keep this pace up for a while! #suckitislam
I don't guess Obama is still interested in giving them the Blind Sheikh.
Let me be the first of probably many to AMEN that!
Can we throw in a few RINO's too?
are they using those pig fat greased bullets?
Shhhh! You want another Mutiny?
+1! This is all they understand & up until now, the Muslims have gotten away with murder (& rape. & terrorism- all that they could dish out. Israel was the only exception. And they've been vilified for it)
Egypt makes me hopeful that there actually *can* be peace in the ME one day.
You gotta pay closer attention. No one's getting hung for a political belief. These are the dirt bags involved in ordering/ shooting-to-kill un-armed street protesters. That's worth the death penalty anytime/anywhere and it speaks to the lack of arms of the population that they'd lived to go to trial. The folks , Being armed to the teeth in this country does indeed keep the gummint brown shirts minding their manners. There would most likely never be a trial here if some dumbass gave the order to shoot peaceful, un-armed protesters.
They were convicted of charges including murdering a policeman and attacks on people and property.
The group is among some 1,200 Muslim Brotherhood supporters on trial, including senior members.
I'm sure 0dumb0 is pissed over the death sentences issued to his mooozlim brotherhood buddies! Probably unsettling to him as he was getting ready to slice another golf ball!
Wow — they don't mess around
When the Egyptian Military gives a gang of thugs enough rope to hang themselves, they follow through and make sure than hangings take place.
Let Muslims handle their Muslims. Better them than us.
The critical issue is the imams and their mosques. If they're allowed to continue to preach the most radical interpretation of Islam, then this is just a carousel on which we're changing out a few ponies. They'll have new ones in no time.
If they were serious about ending the threat of radical Islam they'd embrace free markets, end their cronyism and socialism.
Egypt is like having an entire country run by Crook County Democrats.
Obama (like the rest of the left) has a default anti-Israel, anti-American bias, especially when it comes to dark skinned savages who hate the West.
Obama wasn't necessarily "pro Muslim Brotherhood", just biased (and stupid) enough to think political engagement could change them, particularly if we withdrew support from a pro-American dictatorship.
Soros is just a funder of obnoxious NGO's having little or no power outside the US or Western Europe: it's only in the decadent West that people are actually naive enough to think Twitter can overthrow a government. As soon as the Brotherhood took power, the left of center groups funded by Soros were shoved aside, as such useful idiots usually are. Having had a taste of incipient sharia lunacy, a lot of their members are now siding with the new military government.
528...well that's a good start!
Every kangaroo court convicts people based on supposed "actions." Convicting 528 people of murder in a two-day trial just screams politically-motivated show trial.
The Egyptian people and military wrested control of their country back from the Muslim Brotherhood, which was supported by the Obama administration to the hilt.
Obama still has Miuslim Brotherhood opertives in his White House. The press has gone silent on Egypt because the ugly truth would make their beloved leader not just look very wrong, but reveal hoim and the former ambassador to be complicit in the ugly thjings the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood was up to. Including events, IMHO, directly associated with Benghazi.
Ha ha ha! Greatest western ever, I must have watched it a million times. "Paw paw? Is that you? I got the gold right here paw!"
Obamas Arab Spring has failed. All those Muslim Brotherhood "get out the vote" workers from yahoo inc have worked in vain, and theior Democrat handlers in the USA: FAIL. Fail fail.
The same happened in Libya.
And now Pooty is takling Obama out behind the shed for a royal shelacking. Time THE ONE was gone.
"I just think you are according way too much forethought to both Obama and Soros."
I wish I was, but that is where the facts lead to. Remember when it was "CRAZY!!!" to think that Soros was funding a shadow-party outside of Dem Party control?
They have successfully comprised the US Press, as well. They were more than willing to lead with the wildest conspiracies and rumors about Bush, or even Romney, but they remain silent, WILLINGLY, about what Obama and his minions, (in fact almost any Democrat), are doing.
After the election that Morsi allegedly won, the Egyptian court refused to ratify the results for some reasons (fraud?) and days ensued where things were in limbo while they tried to determine who won. Instead of letting the Egyptians sort things out, the MB-aligned obama administration spoke out and pressured them to decide in Morsis favor.
No one talks about this tidbit anymore but that is how I remember things happened.
That is not relevant. They were given the death penalty for murder, treachery, and other crimes.
I agree. This was a show trial only. The trial lasted one day for 147 defendants (the rest were convicted in absentia) with the second day for sentencing.
Active in the White House too, is it not? They must be deeply saddened.
Send 'em a Lone Star Flag and make them honorary Texans.

According to early reports [Link broken], the Ohio Board of Education voted 11-4 at its February 14, 2006, meeting to remove both the "Critical Analysis of Evolution" model lesson plan and the corresponding indicator in the state standards. The board's vote follows in the wake of a motion to remove the lesson plan during the board's January meeting, which failed 9-8.
Although a proposal to remove the controversial "Critical Analysis of Evolution" lesson plan from the Ohio model science curriculum was narrowly defeated at the January meeting of the Ohio state board of education, the proposal is likely to be renewed at the board's February meeting, thanks to both a thinly disguised reproach from Ohio Governor Bob Taft (R) and a stinging rebuke from a large majority of the committee that originally helped to develop the standards.
Creationism emerged as a subsidiary theme as allegations of political interference with climate science at NASA were in the news. In a story in The New York Times (January 29, 2006), Andrew Revkin described climate scientist James E.
The director of the Vatican Observatory, Father George V. Coyne S.J., delivered a talk in which he argued that "the Intelligent Design (ID) movement, while evoking a God of power and might, a designer God, actually belittles God" on January 31, 2006. His talk, entitled "Science Does Not Need God. Or Does It? A Catholic Scientist Looks at Evolution," was presented as the annual Aquinas Lecture at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida.
At a press conference in Madison, Wisconsin, on February 7, 2006, state representative Terese Berceau (D-District 76) announced her intention to introduce legislation in the state assembly which would, if enacted, prohibit the teaching of supernaturalistic pseudoscience in the science classrooms of the state's public schools.

When good dogs go bad!Posted Wednesday, February 22, 2012, at 7:25 AM
"Mitchie" was a beagle-dachshund cross, who was originally named "Michelle" by a good friend of mine, who taught with me at Cape Central. When the pup got hit by a motorcycle on her street, she decided to give her to me. My husband changed her "sissy" name to one less embarrassing for him to use when calling her in the yard.
Somewhere along the line, the little dog had developed separation anxiety. I first noticed it when I saw that the sheers on my friend's door were torn up. Susan had no explanation for this anomaly; she just found it that way when she came home from school one day, and Michelle was the only thing in the house that could have done it. Looking down into those innocent brown eyes, it was difficult to believe that the pup was the culprit.
My husband and I first saw evidence of her "illness," when we left her in the basement of our home, while we ran an errand. She came up the stairs, forced open the folding doors at the top, climbed up on the kitchen table, and ate the crust off a freshly-baked gooseberry pie that was cooling.
When we moved to Alaska in 1969, Mitchie went with us, riding in the cab of the truck which contained all our worldly goods. As we traveled the 4200 miles from Cape Girardeau to Fairbanks, Alaska, we soon learned that we could not leave our little buddy alone for ANY length of time. The first time we both went inside a restaurant to eat, we returned to find our box of powdered donuts shredded up and flung all over the cab.
However, the most outlandish incident occurred in 1974, when my son Todd was born. My labor was a long one, and my husband had to spend several long hours at the hospital. When he brought us home, there was a big trash bag sitting in the family room. Upon inspection, I discovered that it was filled with postage-sized bits of cloth and some sort of stuffing.
"What's this?" I asked, looking through the mess.
"That's the zebra-striped floor pillow that your mother gave you," Dale said.
"What happened to it?" I asked.
"When I came home from the hospital last night, it was shredded up and strewn throughout the family room, down the hall, and into the living room!" he said.
I looked at my little sweet-faced beagle, staring up at me in adoration. How was it possible? I tried to picture the scenario in my mind. The pillow pieces were no larger than an inch in diameter. How could that be accomplished? I envisioned Mitchie, bounding down the hallway with those pieces in her mouth, like some sort of fairy sprite, scattering spring flowers across a meadow.
God only knows what forces grip our ordinarily peaceful, docile pets, when they are out of our sight!
That dog was the most obedient, well-manned animal I have EVER seen! I once ordered her to go under our barn and bring me a chicken egg--and she did it! I could say, "Go get your ball!" and she would do it. I could say, "Do you want to go out?" and she would run to the door. I could ask, "Is that Aunt Doe?" and she would run look out the window.
How could a dog that smart and that obedient go NUTS and totally shred a large pillow--and then scatter the thing all over my house, knowing the trouble she would be in when I returned??
Maybe that's it. Maybe she genuinely thought that I was never coming back.
I've had dozens of dogs over the years, good loyal friends, but that little neurotic beagle still holds a place of importance in my heart. I've said it before--I pray that heaven has room for our loyal companions, If it does, then she and Dale are walking the fields of glory, chasing heavenly rabbits through the sun-filled gardens of forever.

Memories of pets now gone--yes, they have to be in Heaven when we get there. Your story reminds me of the time we had to use a shop vac to clean our backyard of the lawn furniture cushions' stuffing. We came home to a yard that looked like snow in July. That lab of ours could eat through anything to be free, though he was elated when we found him each time! We'll see him someday, and he will wag that special "you finally found me" wag!
-- Posted by GONENOW on Wed, Feb 22, 2012, at 10:22 AM
Well, I do hope that our treasured pets will greet us in heaven, but those of us who have had to put an animal down--for one reason or another--might not like to meet THAT animal at the Pearly Gates!
-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Feb 23, 2012, at 6:09 PM
GL--I hope to see the ones we've had to give up for relief from their suffering, as well. Don't you think they might even want to say, "Why didn't you do it a bit sooner?" Our dogs were not "just animals,"--they were a part of our family. Once that bond was made, they became part of our souls
-- Posted by GONENOW on Sat, Feb 25, 2012, at 2:43 PM
That is so true. I wasn't thinking of those animals when I said we wouldn't want to meet them at the Pearly Gates. It was an act of mercy to help them move on. I cry when I think of my little pet goat Patsy, whom my son had to put down for me. She couldn't make it through another winter.

Discussion in 'Patriots Draft Talk' started by b72s, Nov 4, 2012.
Face it these defenses are good could we get any of them?
I expect at least 6 drafted next year..
i am no college football or draft expert, but i am watching the tide playing since 4 years now...
i think the prospects we can get are FS robert lester, DE/DT jesse williams and DE/DT damion square. the other defensive players will be gone when the pats are picking...
Re: Lsu Bama defensive draft picks
Patriots have 2 former Alabama starters already in Hightower & Deaderick.
They also have these former SEC players on defense: Jermaine Cunningham, Brandon Spikes, Jerod Mayo & Jake Bequette.
There might be some more, but that's just off the top of my head.
Add Kyle Love from Miss State to the SEC players.
Im more interested in that 'bama o-line. Jones and Warmack are amazing.
Re: Lsu Bama defensive draft picks
Steven Ridley went to LSU
Brandon Bolden went to Ole Miss
Ryan Mallet and Jake Bequette went to Arkansas
Re: Lsu Bama defensive draft picks
3/4s of those are offensive players too
Great defensive players have come out of everywhere quite recently. Extremely short-sighted to narrow your want list to LSU/Bama players. Chandler Jones, JJ Watt, Navarro Bowman, Sean Lee, JPP, Revis, Von Miller, Sean Witherspoon, Richard Sherman, Bruce Irvin, Calais Campbell, Chris Long. None of these guys were SEC players and are probably the best talent in the league that's come out recently on defense. There is no doubt Alabama has been the best college program over the last 5 years. I'm beginning to wonder if the sum is greater than the individual parts. Not really any busts, But, these guys haven't exceeded or even lived up to expectations. Very early in some of their careers. I would say none of these guys have exploded in the NFL. Way too early to judge this year's rookies. But, none have flashed greatness yet either.
Marcel Dareus - Good. Not sure if he's going to be a pro-bowler. Top 5 pick
Rolando McClain- Meh. High 1st rounder.
Terrance Cody - Hasn't gotten in good enough shape yet. The Ravens version of Ron Brace. 2ND rounder.
Kareem Jackson - 2nd rounder by Houston. Solid player
Javier Arenas - 2nd rounder by KC. Having trouble getting on the field. Will get a shot now that they've cut S. Routt.
Johnny F'ing Football
Black Ice Tees
For the LSU Bama game, lots of talent on the field.
Montgomery of LSU could be top 10.
It seems like most people like Mingo more. But, when I watch LSU. Montgomery seems to play better. I'd love to get Eric Reid for the Pats. What are your thoughts on him and Matt Elam from Florida.
I also like Reid's game. Rambo of Georgia, if he didn't have issues, has impressed me as well.
If the Pats are to get a front line safety in the second or third round, this is the draft to do that.
I am still thinking Barrett Jones at #32 for the Pats. Although I really like those OT's for Texas A&M, they are both special players, I just doubt either falls to us.
Yeah, Joeckel is in contention to be the #1 overall pick right now, and I've heard rumors that Matthews might return, giving him the chance to both play with his brother (who is a freshman right now) and to raise his stock by playing LT for a year.
I'd rather pick Jesse Williams, DT from Alabama than Barrett Jones.
The Georgia defensive draft picks are as good or better than 'Bama's:
Big Board: When it comes to NFL prospects, Georgia's rate higher than Bama's - NFL, NFLDRAFT - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com
The current SEC title game is definitely BCS-championship worthy. Two really good teams playing each other even.
Though Notre Dame's D isn't too shabby, either.
No thanks on Lester. He makes Meriweather look like a great tackler...
Wasn't impressed with Square, though he was playing out of position as a NT. Also don't think he fits the Pats schemes.
Williams did well at the NT.
Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu will be available when the Pats pick.
If Milliner declares, he'll push others down. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see C.J. Mosley declare. He's be a good coverage LB for the Pats...
Really liked Barrett Jones. Warmack started off sluggish, but picked his game up. Fluker seems to be stiff in the hips, though he's got good footwork. I thought that Georgia didn't move Jarvis Jones around enough and lost a bunch letting Jones just try and get around Fluker most of the time..
Serious question: In what round?
In a few years HaHa Clinton-Dix is going to be a stud
A good discussion with BB on Saban and the job he does selecting players for Bama. They are still close, and I am sure he proides BB with some inside tips.

Where is the Republican Plan?
To the editor:
This is in response to a column by Senate Minority Leader David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) ("Dayton's new taxes on Minnesota families" – Jan. 31).
Sen. Hann commented on Dayton's budget plan containing a broadening and lowering of the state sales tax, and stated Republicans would never raise you taxes because "Minnesota will enjoy the same government services as before just at a higher price."
Oh really? Sen. Hann must be using the "new" math to come to that conclusion. The article contains no alternative tax plan, only the Republican time-tested message of continually lowering taxes and regulations, and "you still get everything you want from government."
Minnesota has been cutting taxes since the Ventura and Pawlenty administrations, and balancing budgets by pushing off school payments, one-time money, borrowing from the tobacco settlement and cutting aid to cities, like New Ulm. Cutting aid to cities results in cost shifting to property taxes to pay for city services and public schools that are pushing some people out of their homes. Lower income and sales taxes do not always lead to a better economy. Ask Wisconsin.
Let's hear the Republican alternate plan but it wasn't in this article only "Republicans oppose raising taxes on families to balance our budget." So you can have good schools, plowed roads, all your government services and lower taxes. Wow, who wouldn't want that?

The tournament has a single-elimination format.
All games are played to a result, including overtime and kicks from the penalty spot if needed.
The home team (designated by BAYS) must provide a choice of three dates/times to the away team, secure a field and arrange for a licensed referee through its town assignor.
Each round of games must be completed within the time frame established by BAYS.
Coaches must report scores within 24 hours.
The entry fee is $25 per team (see payment details below)
BAYS will pay the referee

President's Cup Rules:
BAYS rules apply except as noted.
No special tournament rosters and no "guest" players. Teams use their existing BAYS roster.
Each game must be played to a result. If tied at the end of regulation time, two five-minute overtime periods will be played in full. No "golden goal"; no "sudden death". If tied at the end of both overtime periods, the game shall be determined by FIFA-style kicks from the penalty spot. If, in the referee's sole discretion, there is a lack of sufficient daylight or poor weather or field conditions, the referee may direct the teams to proceed directly to penalty kicks at the conclusion of regular time and omit the overtime periods.
In the event that two teams from the same BAYS section are scheduled to play each other in the tournament, they must play their President's Cup game in addition to their regular schedule. They may not substitute their regularly scheduled BAYS game for their President's Cup game.
Good sportsmanship is assumed. Stronger teams are expected to do everything possible to keep scores reasonable. Scores will be truncated with a maximum posted goal differential of 4 goals. Teams progress in the tournament solely based on wins. Goal differential has no impact.

German Chocolate Cake Roll
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large egg yolks plus 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter; 1 stick cubed, 1 1/2 sticks softened
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 2/3 cups sweetened coconut, toasted
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup strong hot coffee
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-18-inch jelly-roll pan; line with parchment paper, letting it come up the short sides by about 2 inches. Brush the paper with oil or melted butter and lightly dust with flour.
For the filling, whisk the evaporated milk, 1 cup sugar, 3 egg yolks and the cubed butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla, the coconut and pecans. Set aside to cool completely, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the cocoa and chocolate in another bowl. Add the hot coffee to the cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth; stir in the buttermilk and the remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and the remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar in a large bowl on high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; add the 3 whole eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating each before adding the next. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the cocoa mixture in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just blended; if necessary, fold the batter together with a rubber spatula.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed lightly, about 16 minutes. Cool slightly in the pan.
Run a knife around the edge and slide the cake with its paper onto a work surface. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the cake. Roll the cake from one of the short ends, pulling it away from the parchment into a tight cylinder; transfer to a platter. Cool completely and dust with the confectioners' sugar or cocoa.

FD City Council meets Monday
The Fort Dodge City Council will launch its 2013 work on Monday with budgeting and the potential creation of a second Self-Supported Municipal Improvement District.
The council meeting will begin at 4 p.m. in the Municipal Building with a budgeting session. The elected officials will review proposed spending plans for the police and fire departments as they continue to work on the 2013-2014 budget. That budget is for the fiscal year that begins July 1, but state law requires it to be completed by mid-March.
The regular council business meeting will begin at 5 p.m. in the Municipal Building.
The major item to be addressed during that session is the proposed creation of the Commerce Self-Supported Municipal Improvement District along Fifth Avenue South.
A Self-Supported Municipal Improvement District is an area in which property owners pay an extra tax to finance improvements within the district.
Fort Dodge already has a such a district downtown.
The proposed district would extend along Fifth Avenue South from about 21st Street to the eastern city limits.
It would encompass 488 acres, according to a report to the council written by Angela Torres, the associate city planner.
She added that the district includes more than $101 million worth of property.
Depending upon their location,, some property owners would pay 75 cents per $1,000 of taxable value, while others would pay 30 cents per $1,000 of taxable value.
Torres wrote that those tax rates would generate about $70,000 a year.
That money would be spent on landscape maintenance, expansion of streetscaping and corridor improvements, attracting new businesses, completing long term improvement projects, and supporting existing businesses.
A district board of directors would control the money.
Fort Dodge Memorial Park Cemetery at Fifth Avenue South and 32nd Street; New Covenant Christian Church, 3318 Fifth Ave. S.; and agricultural land would be exempt from the taxes.
Petitions requesting the district have been signed by 27.9 percent of property owners there, representing 28.7 percent of the total assessed value of all property in the district.
The council will not take action to establish the district Monday. Instead, it will vote to receive the petitions and immediately forward them to the city's Plan and Zoning Commission.
The proposed new district has been planned since late 2011, and two public meetings have been held to discuss it.

What I would say is we simply put expiration dates on certain cultures and societies.'Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets — we take these four models and ask the question: How much sea level rise do you get after 2,000 years when you elevate the temperature? Then we add them all together and we get a result for the total sea level contribution for different levels of warming and then we compare this to the paleological data. All of this gives a consistent picture, which says we can expect an increase in sea level of 2.3 meters for each degree of warming.
People will have to reconsider what's home and how long you build a home for.'and Europe, but also for London and Florida and New York and so on because you always have to add on top the storm surges.
I haven't decided myself what is the price we are willing to pay for saving the coastline of Florida.'The same was true after the great recent Thailand flood — we had a shortage of hard drives in the U.S. and in Europe for months in 2012 and this was really not expected. So we had a remote event which impacted us from afar. Now if we don't get hard drives for a while that won't collapse a society obviously. But what happens if we get a whole series of these kinds of impacts like Katrina and Sandy in the same year, and a drought and a heat wave that brings the California electricity sector into collapse or something. Will this stay within the U.S. or will it spread around the world? And this is why we need to consider adaptation as a global problem.

Governor Unveils 10-Year Energy Plan
Gov. John Kitzhaber has put together his strategy for weaning Oregon off of fossil fuels and increasing the use of renewable energy.
The draft plan released Tuesday calls for improving energy efficiency and conservation, making it easier to build renewable energy facilities, and speeding up the switch to alternative fuel vehicles.
The plan would cover the entire increase in energy use over the next 10 years by improving energy efficiency. To help reach the goal, the state would retrofit up to 4 million square feet of state office buildings with energy efficient technology.
The plan also calls for upgrading the power grid and making it easier for clean-energy developers to get financial backing and permits for new projects.
Kitzhaber says the plan would make Oregon more competitive economically.

Hi all,
Forest of Nightmares coming up very fast now, full details here for FB users:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1972678 ... 9/?fref=ts
I am scrounging for ideas for publicising it, or any other ideas at all! We haven't yet done anything with the press, but I am on that tomorrow (rather belated).
Help from outside the events team so far includes KMs doing themed Hallowe'eny food (yay) on the 29th, when we have a costume and mask making workshop, and MJ is making us a cake trophy (yay) for an award ceremony for films made during the first event.
Do we have a Forest-accessible sewing machine?? Would really like the costume making to have some exciting results. This also means doing more than we have done so far to get materials together.
Should alert you also that I am away in England until probably the 27th. Agnese Cebere, Alice Johnson, Danni Szerszynska and Urska Ozimek are all on it for the publicity and on-location stuff, I am still very available for internet and phone based stuff.
Throw ideas at the events team, hit them in the face! Love Arren x

Range Description
This little-known species is endemic to northeastern Madagascar. The species has been recorded in the Masoala Peninsula, Zahamena National Park, and Betampona Strict Nature Reserve. There are only four confirmed recent localities, including two individuals with aberrant coloration in reed beds of Lac Alaotra at around 800 m (J. Durbin pers. comm.). There were also historical records from the area surrounding Lac Alaotra. The known records in rainforest range in elevation from 200 to 650 m. The type locality is unknown. There are historical records from Mananara MAB Reserve (Albignac 1973). Despite substantial trapping efforts in eastern rainforest over the last 15 years above 600 m, the species has not been recorded in any new sites (S.M. Goodman pers. comm.).

WATERLOO – Senior backs Duncan Ferch and Devin Chesler combined for 312 rushing yards and all seven West Marshall touchdowns as the Trojans won their season opener for the third year in a row, routing Waterloo Columbus 50-0 on Friday night.
Ferch finished with seven carries for 204 yards and five touchdowns, while Chesler added six runs for 108 yards and two scores. The duo averaged 24 yards per carry on 13 attempts, helping West Marshall march to a 43-0 halftime lead and eventually its 26th consecutive regular-season victory.
Ferch had scoring runs of 4, 43, 83, 51 and 16 yards, while Chesler sprinted in from 57 and 36 yards out to pace the Trojans offensively.
Jared Johnson led the West Marshall defense with 11 tackles, Chesler had seven stops, while Elijah Streeter and Matt Van Metre both recovered fumbles. The Trojan defense also recorded a safety in the first quarter, keying its 30-0 lead after the first break.
West Marshall plays its home opener next Friday night, entertaining Panorama.
ACKLEY – AGWSR rumbled for 409 rushing yards and five touchdowns, improving to 2-0 with a dominant 41-0 victory over BCLUW in non-district Week 1 football action Friday night.
Clayton Bohner rushed for 111 of his 130 yards in the first half, Darrick Kyle-Murphy totaled 110 yards and touchdown, and the Cougars shut down the upstart Comets (1-1).
BCLUW was limited to 151 yards of total offense and just nine first downs, failing to score after putting 42 points on East Marshall in both teams' season opener a week earlier.
AGWSR's balanced ground game included 57 yards and a touchdown from Levi Stockdale, 56 yards and a score for Clay Meinders, and 49 yards and two TDs for quarterback Cody Williams.
Williams also completed the only pass he attempted, a 40-yard scoring strike to Austin Heitland.
The Cougars gobbled up 27 first downs – 25 via the rush – and possessed the ball for nearly 32 minutes in their second straight decisive win. AGWSR handed the ball off on 61 of its 62 plays, gaining 449 yards of total offense.

Kickbush finished 5-for-10 for 100 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He hooked up with Josh Cooley for a 37-yard score to make it 20-0 Rebels at the half. Kickbush and Colton Dinsdale connected for a 26-yard TD in the third.

The home opener for the Royals (0-2) didn't turn out so well as Adair-Casey collected 34 points in the first quarter and led 53-0 at the half.
Taylor Hill's 11-yard scoring strike to Casy Angell accounted for Colo-NESCO's only points of the game, coming on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Last March, in my blog post [RSA Breach, World Backup Day and the use of Encryption], I mentioned the use of [EncryptStick], a product by ENC Security Systems. Since then, I have thought of some ways that could make it even better.
(FTC Disclosure: I do not work or have any financial investments in ENC Security Systems. ENC Security Systems did not paid me to mention them on this blog. Their mention in this blog is not an endorsement of either their company or any of their products. Information about EncryptStick was based solely on publicly available information and my own personal experiences. My friends at ENC Security Systems provided me a full-version pre-loaded stick for this review.)
The EncryptStick software comes in two flavors, a free/trial version, and the full/paid version. The free trial version has [limits on capacity and time] but provides enough glimpse of the product to decide before you buy the full version. You can download the software yourself and put in on your own USB device, or purchase the pre-loaded stick that comes with the full-version license.
Whichever you choose, the EncryptStick offers three nice protection features:
- Encryption for data organized in "storage vaults", which can be either on the stick itself, or on any other machine the stick is connected to. That is a nice feature, because you are not limited to the capacity of the USB stick.
- Encrypted password list for all your websites and programs.
- A secure browser, that prevents any key-logging or malware that might be on the host Windows machine.
I have tried out all three functions and everything works as advertised. However, there is always room for improvement, so here are my suggestions.
- Plausible Deniability
The first problem is that the pre-loaded stick looks like it is worth a million dollars. It is in a shiny bronze color with "EncryptStick" emblazoned on it. This is NOT subtle advertising! This 8GB capacity stick looks like it would be worth stealing solely on being a nice piece of jewelry, and then the added bonus that there might be "valuable secrets" just makes that possibility even more likely.
If you want to keep your information secure, it would help to have "plausible deniability" that there is nothing of value on a stick. Either have some corporate logo on it, of have the stick look like a cute animal, like these pig or chicken USB sticks.
It reminds me how the first Apple iPod's were in bright [Mug-me White]. I use black headphones with my black iPod to avoid this problem.
Of course, you can always install the downloadable version of EncryptStick software onto a less conspicuous stick if you are concerned about theft. The full/paid version of EncryptStick offers an option for "lost key recovery" which would allow you to backup the contents of the stick and be able to retrieve them on a newly purchased stick in the event your first one is lost or stolen.
- The Cap
Imagine how "unlucky" I felt when I notice that I had lost my "rabbits feet" on this cute animal-themed USB stick.
I sense trouble for losing the cap on my EncryptStick as well. This might seem trivial, but is a pet-peeve of mine that USB sticks should plan for this. Not only is there nothing to keep the cap on (it slides on and off quite smoothly), but there is no loop to attach the cap to anything if you wanted to.
Since then, I got smart and try to look for ways to keep the cap connected. Some designs, like this IBM-logoed stick shown above, just rotate around an axle, giving you access when you need it, and protection when it is folded closed.
Alternatively, get a little chain that allows you to attach the cap to the main stick. In the case of the pig and chicken, the memory section had a hole pre-drilled and a chain to put through it. I drilled an extra hole in the cap section of each USB stick, and connected the chain through both pieces.
(Warning: Kids, be sure to ask for assistance from your parents before using any power tools on small plastic objects.)
- Multi-OS Support
The EncryptStick can run on either Microsoft Windows or Mac OS. The instructions indicate that you can install both versions of download software onto a single stick, so why not do that for the pre-loaded full version? The stick I have had only the Windows version pre-loaded. I don't know if the Windows and Mac OS versions can unlock the same "storage vaults" on the stick.
Certainly, I have been to many companies where either everyone runs Windows or everyone runs Mac OS. If the primary target audience is to use this stick at work in one of those places, then no changes are required. However, at IBM, we have employees using Windows, Mac OS and Linux. In my case, I have all three! Ideally, I would like a version of EncryptStick that I could take on trips with me that would allow me to use it regardless of the Operating System I encountered.
Since there isn't a Linux-version of EncryptStick software, I decided to modify my stick to support booting Linux. I am finding more and more Linux kiosks when I travel, especially at airports and high-traffic locations, so having a stick that works both in Windows or Linux would be useful. Here are some suggestions if you want to try this at home:
- Use fdisk to change the FAT32 partition type from "b" to "c". Apparently, Grub2 requires type "c", but the pre-loaded EncryptStick was set to "b". The Windows version of EncryptStick> seems to work fine in either mode, so this is a harmless change.
- Install Grub2 with "grub-install" from a working Linux system.
- Once Grub2 is installed, you can boot ISO images of various Linux Rescue CDs, like [PartedMagic] which includes the open-source [TrueCrypt] encryption software that you could use for Linux purposes.
- This USB stick could also be used to help repair a damaged or compromised Windows system. Consider installing [Ophcrack] or [Avira].
- Certainly, 8GB is big enough to run a full Linux distribution. The latest 32-bit version of [Ubuntu] could run on any 32-bit or 64-bit Intel or AMD x86 machine, and have enough room to store an [encrypted home directory].
- If you plan to use Firefox's [Private Browsing Mode], I highly recommend using the [NoScript] Firefox plug-in.
Since the stick is formatted FAT32, you should be able to run your original Windows or Mac OS version of EncryptStick with these changes.
Depending on where you are, you may not have the luxury to reboot a system from the USB memory stick. Certainly, this may require changes to the boot sequence in the BIOS and/or hitting the right keys at the right time during the boot sequence. I have been to some "Internet Cafes" that frown on this, or have blocked this altogether, forcing you to boot only from the hard drive.
Well, those are my suggestions. Whether you go on a trip with or without your laptop, it can't hurt to take this EncryptStick along. If you get a virus on your laptop, or have your laptop stolen, then it could be handy to have around. If you don't bring your laptop, you can use this at Internet cafes, hotel business centers, libraries, or other places where public computers are available.

GA to the rescue of stranded cruise shipWednesday, February 29th, 2012
The powerless cruise ship Costa Allegra is still under tow on its way to a port in the Seychelles Islands, but general aviation has come to the rescue. A twin-engine Vulcanair is coordinating helicopter support for the ship. Eurocopter Colibri EC120B helicopters have dropped hundreds of flashlights, since there is no electricity, and lots of fresh bread plus communications equipment. All the aircraft, including the Vulcanair, are owned by Zil Air in the Seychelles. The company provides transportation among the islands.

Miley Cyrus doesn't look too sad about her break-up...
Last time we broke up with a boyfriend we basically became a total recluse. Our mum ended up having to turn off The Notebook, prize the kilogram of chocolate out of our hands and move us AWAY from his Facebook page - and we'd only been with him for two weeks.
You'd think then, that Miley might be looking a bit glum having split up with dishy Liam Hemsworth after a year together. Apparently not. While her glamorous movie-star/singer/celeb lifestyle kind of prevents her from going into recluse mode, she's managed to keep up with her schedule with a big grin on her face.
Here she is at JFK airport with her mum Tish, and some other fashionable lady who we're going to guess is her personal assistant, and who we're also going to guess is called Regina Fallangy, just because we can - other suggestions welcome, obvs. Anyway, Miley's not looking too glum here is she?
She's having a good old giggle as she struts her stuff through the arrivals lounge, after being in Detroit filming her new movie LOL with Ashley Greene and hottie Douglas Booth - who she's also been spotted out and about with of late, don'tcha know.
BUT, here's the thing. Do you think Miley really is this happy? Or do you think it was all a show so Liam could see her with a big smile on her face and think that she's over him? She probably did expect there to be a few photographers hanging about the airport, so could it be all for show? She might be doing that thing that
we our mate Sarah does when she knows a fit boy is looking and just bursting into random fits of laughter.
Check out our other pics of Miley and let us know what you think...
Miley does seem to be showing Liam what he's missing here with those skimpy short shorts on. What do you think of her shoes? Cool and laid back? Or kind of annoying and flappy? We're loving her bag, but reckon she might have had to do a bit of eyelash fluttering to be allowed to take something that gigantic on as hand luggage. Anyway, click on for more Miley happy-snaps..
Here she is leaving her New York hotel after a quick outfit change, still looking all smiley-Miley. LOVING the checked shirt. Maybe she stole it from Liam and won't let him have it back? Maybe it's from a new secret boyfriend! Maybe we're getting a bit too excited about all of this...what do you reckon?

I'm interested in volunteering with in the forest cafe, but living in Buckhaven, Fife, I am unsure if I'll be able to as public transport is limited. Reading through the volunteer guide I noticed it saying "First Thursday every month, 7pm." is this the time I, or any other cafe volunteers, would start and if so what is the finishing time?
Thanks in advance

Food Mills
Make Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Purees with Food Mills
Food mills allow cooks to process their own specialty ingredients for sauces, soups, purees, and condiments. Depending on the size of the basket sieve used, these mills will separate the seeds and skins from the juice, allowing you to strain anything from tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes to apples, pears, and other fruits. By processing your own foods, you'll not only cut down on spending costs of pre-made products, but you'll also be able to use fresher and more flavorful ingredients that are made the same day your meal is served.

Choose from either manual or electric food mills, depending on how often your restaurant is processing ingredients. Electric models are ideal for higher volume output, while hand-cranked manual food mills are ideal for lower volume applications. You can also find both electric and manual options with a continuous feed feature that increases output and efficiency without sacrificing quality. Continuous feed food mills allow the user to steadily add whole ingredients to the top of the hopper while the motor continues to process.

and for what it's worth...BITUS is one of the rare live albums that use NO studio overdubs, after the fact. what you hear is what we heard at the venue. 90% of live albums have vocal and instrumental in studio redos or retakes.
having said that...I love both live collections. it's just that only one is really live.
