"Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs. "
Picking up the pieces
Shareowners weigh their options as Avantair folds.
The demise of Avantair has undoubtedly caught your attention if you own or lease a fractional share, have a jet card or have put money on account for block charter.
On August 16, the Clearwater, Florida-based provider of Piaggio P.180 Avanti twin turboprop fractional ownership, Jet Edge Card and Axis Lease programs was placed in liquidation through a Chapter 7 involuntary bankruptcy proceeding in Florida Middle District U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Tampa. The once publicly traded company (NASDAQ symbol AAIR) had ceased operations on June 26, sending more than 600 fractional share owners scrambling to locate and determine the condition of their aircraft and identify co-owners.
"I don't know who the other [owners] are and I don't know if the plane is intact," Alan Meltzer of Bethesda, Maryland, owner of a one-eighth share, told BJT before the bankruptcy hearing. "We still owe money to the bank, so every month I make a payment for an asset that's not here."
Even if owners had their aircraft, they couldn't fly them. The Federal Aviation Administration has suspended the airworthiness certificates of all 56 Avantis in the former fleet, noting that many have been "cannibalized" for parts and that almost all aircraft inspected had numerous discrepancies and lacked key components, often including engines.
"We're trying to locate our other engine as we speak," Daniel Catalfumo, an owner from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, told BJT.
Customer dissatisfaction broke into public view when the Avantair Owners Forum went online this past January. "My last two experiences with Avantair have been very disappointing," website administrator Joel Trammell wrote in the forum's first posting, where he detailed his recent service misadventures before concluding, "I am now worried that [Avantair] will not be able to continue operations, leaving owners in a tough situation." Trammell, who launched the site, was one of the four Texas-based Avantair owners who on July 25 filed the Chapter 7 involuntary bankruptcy petition.
The beginning of the end for Avantair came June 6 when it grounded its fleet amid concerns about improper tracking of flight hours on time-limited parts—those stripped from "donor" aircraft to keep others operational. The fleet was also grounded for almost three weeks last fall after an Avantair Piaggio shed an elevator and made two subsequent flights before the part's absence was noted. Avantair called both groundings voluntary, but they were undertaken at the FAA's insistence, according to former employees and others. (Employees were furloughed on June 26, and a class-action lawsuit on their behalf claims Avantair didn't pay them for their last two and a half weeks of work; several lawsuits on behalf of owners have also been filed against Avantair.)
After the company ceased operations, the Owners Forum became a point of contact for people trying to locate their aircraft and identify fellow owners. ("Anyone seen 105SL? Apparently hasn't flown or filed since a quick turnaround at KSGO May 3," read one posting.)
Following Judge Catherine McEwen's granting of the bankruptcy motion, Trammell told BJT he's "hopeful this moves us forward" in gaining possession of aircraft for the shareowners, who contend Avantair has no claim to them. According to an attorney who was at the hearing, the judge ordered Avantair to provide information to help owners locate one another and granted them limited relief from an injunction filed in early August by Avantair's court-appointed trustee that had quarantined the fleet. Owners may now inspect, perform preservative work on engines, airframes and components and reposition aircraft for storage at the airport where they're located. An expert to be appointed by the trustee and paid by owners will inventory the fleet and assess the condition of the aircraft. Restoring the airplanes to airworthy condition will likely be a long and expensive process.
Piaggio America (PA), North American representative for Italy's Piaggio Aero Industries, the Avanti's manufacturer, will create an "OEM-trained team with the support of additional specialists furnished from Italy" to offer restoration services to fractional owners, said PA president and CEO John Bingham. PA recently sent an email to all known Avantair fractional owners "offering them our support," and has received "numerous responses," Bingham said. Asked about the sufficiency of spare-parts inventories, he commented that before addressing that issue, "We have to understand the condition and the needs of each of the owners' aircraft."
The shared-ownership model presents additional complications to aircraft recovery; little can be done without unanimous consent of the co-owners or a court order. Getting agreement from as many as 16 owners presents difficulties, especially since it's likely that some owners have simply walked away from their shares, said attorney Amanda Applegate of Los Angeles-based law firm Aerlex, which represents some 120 owners with shares in approximately 20 former Avantair aircraft. Additionally, owners of stripped aircraft may attempt to track and recover missing parts, attorneys say.
Owners also face mechanics liens filed in state courts for unpaid maintenance work on their aircraft. Teterboro Rams has received permission from Bergen County Court in New Jersey to auction the four Avantis in its possession. (These state actions are subject to a stay while the assets are under bankruptcy-court supervision.) Rams has liens on 37 additional Avantis, according to co-owner Dennis Espinosa, and in bankruptcy court filings claims it's owed more than $475,000. Dallas Airmotive has filed an objection in bankruptcy court to granting owners possession, claiming some of its loaner engines are on Avantis and seeking their return.
In its last quarterly financial statement, Avantair said it faced $122.75 million in debts and other obligations, and owners are among those asking where the money went. At press time, Avantair CEO Steve Santo, CFO Bret Holmes, president David Haslett and three other company executives were scheduled to begin providing sworn testimony to the trustee "concerning the acts, conduct, business, transfers, real and personal property of the debtor [Avantair], the financial condition of the debtor and any other matter which may affect the condition of the debtor's estate," in the trustee's words. The six have also been ordered to produce a wide array of business and personal records.
Meanwhile, owners' recovery efforts continue. "Overall, we love the airplane," said shareowner Bill McIntyre of Dallas, echoing comments offered by several other Avantair customers. "I've even harbored thoughts about actually buying one."
Catalfumo's group plans to sell its aircraft "as is," calculating that the best-case scenario of the value of a preowned Avanti doesn't justify the cost of restoration. He and co-owners also fear that unknown safety issues could lurk in the airframe as a result of poor maintenance. This concern may strike aviation professionals as overblown, but the reality is that this episode has shaken the confidence of many owners in many ways. They have lost their investment, but the fractional industry has lost their trust, and that could prove to be a much more valuable commodity.
"The financial loss is trivial compared with the fact that our families were exposed to some serious risk without us knowing," New York City shareowner Clifford Press said after reading the FAA's inspection findings. "We are mostly incredibly grateful that we're not dealing with fatalities here."
5 Lessons for Business Jet Travelers
Given the questions that Avantair's involuntary bankruptcy raises, what should you do now if you're a fractional owner or are thinking about buying into a shared-ownership program? First, take a deep breath and relax. Avantair's collapse isn't symptomatic of an industry-wide infection. To be sure, fractional activity has declined over the past year (8.5 percent, according Argus, an aviation research and services company), but fractional programs still meet the needs of thousands of demanding travelers. However, consider these suggestions for ensuring that the experience matches your expectations:
1. Get help. Despite their basic similarity, fractional programs vary in ways that can greatly affect your costs and satisfaction. Make sure you "receive advice from someone who knows the industry and can guide you away from the pitfalls," advises New Jersey aviation attorney Daniel Herr. Experts say prospective fractional buyers are less likely to seek professional guidance than those leasing or buying a whole aircraft, though fractional contracts can be more complex.
2. Know your co-owners. Not knowing their identities has been a major stumbling block for Avantair owners trying to make recovery plans for their aircraft. Moreover, "if there are aspects of a program [owners] might want to change, they really don't have the ability to communicate as a group with the provider" unless they know one another, says attorney James Butler, CEO of Maryland-based Shaircraft Solutions.
3. Examine your asset and provider annually. It's likely you rarely if ever fly on the aircraft you partially own. But you should check on its condition at least once per year—and while you're at it, inspect your provider, as well. "An owners' group could do a quality or safety audit on the company once in a while," says Kevin O'Leary, president of Massachusetts-based Jet Advisors. For spot checks on your airplane, don't hesitate to ask flight crews about the tail number; they know the favorites and the dogs of the fleet.
4. Know the true costs of ownership. Rather than giving an insider's discount, fractional programs typically charge a premium over retail for purchasing shares of new aircraft. This is critical to keep in mind as eagerly awaited new models join fractional fleets. "A lot of these aircraft are going to be terrific, but you don't want to go into them priced significantly above the market price," advises consultant Michael Riegel, owner of Nevada-based AviationIQ. "The moment you take delivery, you're going to take a hit on value." Moreover, projections of residual values that fractional companies give owners are typically overly optimistic, and the valuations provided by the companies under guaranteed repurchase agreements are often below what owners expect—and what would seem equitable—due to contractual fine print.
5. Recognize the limits of contractual rights and protections. Aviation attorneys and consultants can advise you on the critical aspects of fractional ownership contracts, as well as on provisions that may be negotiable, such as details of repurchase guarantees. But ultimately there are no guarantees, as the Avantair story demonstrates—the contract is only as good as the stability of the company behind it. Vet accordingly. "I don't see that there's anything you can really put in writing…that is going to protect you," says Connecticut aviation attorney Paul Lange. There's no insurance you can buy, short of owning the entire airplane so you have more control."

As the recipient of the eighth annual Marshall S. Horwitz, M.D., Faculty Prize for Research Excellence, Dr. Pamela Stanley delivered the lecture "Glycans that Regulate Development and Notch Signaling" to more than 200 members of the Einstein community gathered in Robbins Auditorium on Monday, March 31, 2014. The lecture, which was followed by an award presentation and reception, had been long-anticipated after the initial event date in February was cancelled by one of this winter's many snow storms.
To begin, Dr. Allen M. Spiegel, the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein, welcomed those in attendance and imparted regards and congratulations to Dr. Stanley from her family in Australia. Dr. Vinayaka Prasad, chair of the award selection committee, then offered a brief history of the award that was established to honor both the memory of Dr. Marshall S. Horwitz, who died in 2005, and excellence in faculty research. Next, Dr. Stephen G. Baum shared memories of Dr. Horwitz when the two were young physician-scientists during the infancy of Einstein's infectious diseases division, and Dr. Arthur I. Skoultchi, chair of cell biology, introduced Dr. Stanley, calling her "a true pioneer in the field of glycobiology."
Following is a "question & answer" interview with Dr. Stanley that sheds light on her field and her research.
How would you define glycobiology, your research specialty?
Living cells possess individual sugar molecules or sugar polymers (glycans) that are physically attached to proteins and lipids. Glycobiology involves studying how these sugars and sugar compounds affect biological functions. This requires defining the full complement of glycans in all cell types and determining what happens in vivo when (1) glycan synthesis (the process known as glycosylation) is abnormal or (2) the placement of glycans on a molecule is altered.
Glycomics—the study of an organism's entire complement of sugar polymers attached to proteins or lipids—hasn't received the publicity given to other "omics" such as genomics and proteomics. Why do you think that is?
That's mainly because the ability to analyze glycans and to determine their structure hasn't yet been fully automated, nor can it be done at a single core facility. In addition, there are no simple ways to make significant amounts of defined glycans or to amplify glycans, as is routinely done for nucleic acids and proteins. Advances in mass spectrometry have benefited both glycomics and glycoproteomics, by helping identify the sites where glycans are attached to proteins. But it's still challenging to determine the precise structure of the different glycans on a given glycoprotein.
You've played a leading role in the Consortium for Functional Glycomics, an international group of 70 investigators that the NIH created in 2001 with a $37 million grant. Is the consortium still in existence, and what has it accomplished?
The Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) was supported for 10 years by a non-renewable grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The consortium had several aims: to push forward the field of Glycobiology, to develop core facilities in faculty labs, to make reagents, to generate mouse models of glycosylation disorders, to advance bioinformatics and databases for glycans, and to develop technologies for analyzing glycans, glycan arrays and glyco-gene microarrays. Consortium members could apply for resources that were supplied at no charge. In this way the CFG supported basic research in Glycobiology in hundreds of labs around the world. In addition to several important findings arising from the CFG, its major impact was to allow scientists who otherwise wouldn't have done so to look for the functions of the glycans on their favorite virus or glycoprotein. The CFG continues on as the Functional Glycomics Gateway, which sponsors meetings, tutorials and databases.
Your research has focused on glycosylation, which involves a family of enzymes called glycosyltransferases. Some of these enzymes attach sugars to proteins and lipids to form glycoproteins and glycolipids, respectively, and others attach sugars to growing glycans. Arguably the most important glycoproteins and glycolipids are the cell-surface receptors that are present on virtually all types of cells and play crucial roles in cell signaling, the immune response and other important functions. Could you describe the way you've used mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines to study how glycosyltransferases influence the structure and function of cell-surface receptors?
Over the years my lab has isolated a large panel of CHO mutant cells that synthesize altered glycans, due in each case to a mutation in a glycosyltransferase gene or a gene that influences glycan synthesis. These mutant lines are well-characterized genetically, biochemically and in terms of the glycans they express. Therefore, they are very useful for engineering the glycan portion of glycoproteins. We've used CHO mutants to identify roles for glycans in growth factor signaling and in Notch signaling. (Notch receptors are glycoproteins that play key roles in sending signals that control cell growth and determine cell fate during development.) Others have used our CHO mutants to produce therapeutic molecules (enzymes or antibodies) equipped with glycans that are tailor-made to improve the cell targeting or half-life of the therapeutic.
Health problems can result from defects in particular glycosyltransferases and other genes involved in glycan synthesis. More than 100 such disorders—all quite rare—have now been identified and are referred to as Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation. Have defective glycosyltransferases also been implicated in more common health problems?
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a glycosyltransferase have been linked to multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. (An SNP, also known as a point mutation, involves a change in a single nucleotide –A, T, C or G—in a DNA sequence.) As more SNPs are linked to disease, I expect that point mutations in glycosyltransferases will be associated with most common diseases, including mental disorders and congenital heart defects.
Is it possible to treat diseases by targeting certain glycans?
Influenza is the most common health problem treated by a drug that targets glycans. The influenza virus must attach to a specific sugar (sialic acid) to infect a cell. And for the virus to infect other cells, it must be released from the host cell by the viral enzyme neuraminidase, which cleaves off sialic acid from glycoproteins at the host-cell surface. Several drugs that inhibit neuraminidase are used to treat influenza patients. In addition, certain vaccines, such as the one against Haemophilus influenza type b--a bacterium that causes serious illness in children--are targeted against glycans. And much effort is now focused on producing an AIDS vaccine targeting glycans that are part of HIV.
As you know, a hot area of research these days is epigenetics—the study of methyl groups and other molecules that latch onto genes and influence whether they're expressed or not. Is there any evidence that these epigenetic "marks" exert important influences on the genes that code for glycosyltransferases?
Very few scientists have investigated this question. But when they have, they've indeed found epigenetic regulatory marks that regulate expression of glycosyltransferase genes. In fact, the promoter regions, splicing patterns and general regulation mechanisms controlling glycosyltranferase gene expression are poorly understood, as is regulation of glycosyltransferases by microRNAs. This is a fertile area for basic research.
Could you describe your recent discoveries involving the influence of glycans on cancer progression?
Dr. Stanley We were intrigued by the existence of a glycosyltransferase called MGAT3, which transfers a single sugar to a specific location in complex N-glycans and thereby alters the interactions of N-glycans with glycan binding proteins. We knocked out the Mgat3 gene in the mouse and found no obvious differences in growth or fertility compared with wild type mice. But when we challenged the mice by causing them to develop mammary tumors, we found that loss of MGAT3 allowed their tumors to grow more rapidly and to metastasize in greater numbers to the lung. Therefore, the normal function of MGAT3 in mammary gland and mammary tumors is to restrain cell proliferation. When we searched databases for expression of MGAT3 in human breast cancers, we found that higher expression correlates with longer survival without a relapse, as predicted by our experiments in mice.
Technology can be a "rate limiting factor" on progress in any scientific field. Can you think of a particular technological breakthrough that might greatly accelerate discoveries in your field of glycobiology?
Technological breakthroughs in mass spectrometry and imaging are most likely to accelerate discoveries in Glycobiology. We'd like to analyze cell membranes in a living tissue to identify the glycans on a signaling protein like Notch or on the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor, which is overexpressed in many types of cancer. That way we could monitor, in real time, changes in glycan structure due to metabolism or disease.

Tupper Lake village will cut taxes, spending
TUPPER LAKE – The village would reduce its tax levy and spending in a proposed budget offered up to the village board last week.
Village Clerk Mary Casagrain compiled the budget in recent weeks and presented it to the board at a special meeting Friday morning.
The property tax levy increase would stay $8,800 below the state cap. Last year, the board exceeded the tax cap by about 5.5 percent. That number is taken out of the village's allowable tax cap for this year, so boards aren't able to essentially inflate their cap in future years by exceeding it.
The budget includes a 1.41 percent reduction in the total tax levy, dropping it to about $1.79 million.
It calls for a decrease in the tax rate of 0.009 percent, accounting for a 12-cent decrease per $1,000 in assessed property value.
Casagrain said several things contributed to the decreases.
The way the calendar worked out last year, there were 53 weeks of payroll, which hiked up costs temporarily. This year, there are a typical 52 weeks, dropping expenses, Casagrain said.
There were also a few employees who bought out of the village's health insurance plan, getting on their spouses' plans, Casagrain said.
She said the current year's budget also included a few one-time costs that don't need to be in next year's, like a feasibility study the village paid for last year on the possibility of building a new fire station.
"It's a no-frills budget," Casagrain said. "The board asked us to present a no-frills budget, and that's what they got."
Trustee Rick Donah said the board had asked Casagrain and the village's department heads to make sure the budget was under the tax cap.
Mayor Paul Maroun told his board members to look through the budget, make notes and come back with comments and questions.
The board set a public hearing on the budget for 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 8, with workshops on the village Public Works and Police departments afterward.
They also set a workshop for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16 for fire, police, electric, water and sewer in which they plan to spend at least part of the time meeting with members of the town board. The town and village have been in the process of negotiating the town's contract for fire protection with the village.

Avoca is an Irish family-run business that spans one of the world's oldest surviving manufacturing companies. With an interesting and rich history, Avoca are still as passionate about design, originality, and quality as they were at the start.
In the beginning there was a mill at Avoca Village, Country Wicklow. Set up in 1723 as a co-operative where farmers could spin and weave their wool, the mill's uncoloured yarn was turned into tweeds and blankets. However, colour soon came to Avoca as vivid natural vegetable dyes in reds, greens and yellows brightened the mill's output. These were soon recognised as Avoca Handweavers' signature hues and the mill thrived through the 1920s and 30s. By the 1960s however, it had fallen into disrepair. Handweaving was dying and the looms grew largely silent. Until a young couple with a younger family took over in the mid-seventies and the rest is history.
Avoca's approach is to try to avoid the average or ordinary. Instead they look for colour, life & happiness, and seek out the unusual and beautiful, their mission is to create joy and have fun. They keep their products unique by designing and innovating in-house, and nurturing relationships with like minded partners, such as organic farmers, potters and candlemakers.
Dedicated to being a bit different, Avoca home love detail, colour and whimsy, relishing in the unexpected and the smile of a discovery.

Thanks johnamus! say, i noticed that the formulation you showed above contains yeast, so I'm a bit confused on how the dough is unleavened.
Don,I could be wrong regarding the use of leavening. My stand point is based on my indoctrination into the St Louis style during which many native St Louisan's specifically mentioned that the St Louis style did not contain yeast. After eating this style on numerous occasions (too many for my tastes ) I didn't encounter enough rise in the crust to discredit it. Like you mentioned, if there is any leavening used it must be a small amount (yeast, bp, etc). If any trust can be placed in wikipedia, it also mentions the yeastless nature of the crust.

I just bought an eflex and i have absolutely no regrets if you spend the little extra yOu wont be dissapointed
Posted 10 February 2013 - 05:23 PM
Eflex is supposed to be an "upgrade" of the Proflex and Events. It combines the best of both worlds. So if you have the cash for the Eflex I would just say go for the Eflex.

I too am frightened--and while my grandchildren are young, I see them surviving in a world that is far different than the one of today. That gives me nightmares.

I'm very alarmed, but beyond the minor individual adaptations that we can all make (cloth bags, no meat, local shopping, line dry, etc.), I don't know how to get really involved in doing something more helpful

Yes this is a good point ... if you are "alarmed," what are the best ways to turn that alarm into action? One metric the Yale study used to gauge this is "political involvement" — indicating that "alarmed" citizens are more likely to write their representatives.

I am not at all certain that it is not already too late to have any substantial healing effect on our environment. All things taken into account we have not really progressed far from the cliffs and caves from which we emerged over a quarter of a million years ago. Taken collectively we are as heedless now as ever. The notion that humans will survive and remain here in perpetuity is a purely theological notion and by no means scientific. Species come and species go. Perhaps our time is approaching.

I have become more knowledgeable about this subject this
I have become more knowledgeable about this subject this year, having done a fair amount of reading. One book I especially recommend is "What's the Worst That Could Happen? A Rational Respons to the Climate Change Debate" by science teacher Greg Craven. At his web site, www.gregcraven.org, one can order the book for only $10, and also watch his highly informative videos under the heading "How It All Ends." He speaks especially effectively, I think, to the climate change skeptics about why they should consider the potential consequences of doing nothing. His credibility spectrum and discussion of risk analysis are quite even-handed.

To reap and to rape are two different things. God calls us to be stewards of what he has provided. Whether we can stop the global warming in its tracks or not, is not the issue. The issue is, that we have a moral obligation to utilize this earth in a responsible manor.

I'm alarmed, but also discouraged, and not active enough, although I've focused my giving on environmental issues because, although there are a multitude of worthy causes out there, I believe that "If Mamma ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy." If the peoples of this world don't wake up to the fact that we are not separate from Our Mother, but are made of her, eat her, drink her, breathe her, every moment, and that all living things are connected through her, and that she, too, is alive in a very real sense . . . then we're on the "endangered species list." So . . . I'd like to see my grandchildren have "miino biimaadziiwin"--good life, as the Ojibwa people say--but I wonder, with "mountaintop removal" desecrating my native hills, if they will even know the same old homestead I'm trying to keep for them.

I teach meteorology/climatology and have been alarmed for some time. Earlier this year I read an interview of James Lovelock by the British journal, New Scientist, which can be accessed at http://www.newscientist.com/ar...
I'm hoping that Lovelock is being too pessimistic, but the realist in me says he recognizes the "big picture." I believe that my three children will age into a completely different world than the one that nurtured me. I hope they can cope. I am very sad that my generation has failed to act in time to avert the huge environmental disaster that is likely to come in their lifetimes.

Thanks for the link! I found Lovelock's perspective as an "optimistic pessimist" interesting:
"I see humans as rather like the first photosynthesisers, which when they first appeared on the planet caused enormous damage by releasing oxygen - a nasty, poisonous gas. It took a long time, but it turned out in the end to be of enormous benefit. I look on humans in much the same light. For the first time in its 3.5 billion years of existence, the planet has an intelligent, communicating species that can consider the whole system and even do things about it. They are not yet bright enough, they have still to evolve quite a way, but they could become a very positive contributor to planetary welfare."

I'm very alarmed and have been since learning about the idea of extinction in my childhood. I see my close friends shaking their heads about what's happening but then acting out their own laziness on a daily basis in the most basic ways... leaving lights on, not recycling, idling their cars with the air or heat on before getting in. I too make donations to environmental causes and I am actively involved on a local level. My view is that if those of us who are alarmed get involved in our communities we will have a larger overall effect. It's too much for me to think about the global consequences, so I break it down realizing that lots of local action adds up to global action.

I'm in the "alarmed" category. I was already very concerned, but now I have seen "Chasing Ice," a film about James Balog's project to make time-lapse photographs of disappearing glaciers. I am alarmed about the changes in our air and water, alarmed about the rate of these changes, alarmed about the complacency of the remaining 82 per cent. We CAN give up whatever it will take to make important changes in our severely disproportionate energy use. And we MUST.

I have come to the conclusion that we all have a little blame global warming and its consequences and guilt even more politicians who do not slow down.

I am among the "concerned." It seems that taking care of our beautiful earth is one of the core values of a conscious life--a life lived not just for self--but as a tiny member of a much larger dynamic.

Rated 5 out of 5�by adoverpro GoFit 25 lb Contour Kettlebell I really love these bells for the workout I do as the contoured shape really helps with some movement like the clean and snatch. It is well balanced, and I can use it in my living room with ease. I have 2 of these and they are made significantly better than the other, lighter weights that I purchased from another manufacturer. April 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by BuffaloBillyJ Very nice kettlebell. Saves your wrist from contact. Great kettlebell. The Bob Harper DVD is useless in my opinion, but the bell itself is why I made the purchase. I use the SKOGG System DVD's and this bell saves your wrist in the snatch and the clean. It does hit your shoulder a bit in rack position. Overall it's a great kettlebell at a slightly inflated price, but I'd buy it again. A good bell is worth the price. January 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rodney Great product all around I don't usually buy into products endorsed by celebrity fitness instructors but I do have to say these kettlebell's make all too much sense. The feel and fit of the kettlebell is perfect for any exercise you would use with a standard kb but the contour spares your forearm the torture. That alone makes it worth the buy but thankfully this little added feature doesn't come at the cost of quality. They didn't swap out the cast iron for plastic to make it look pretty and comfortable! Therefore it's an all around smart buy. It might seem a bit pricey but kettlebells always are and why not spend the money on one that will last forever AND handles with ease? December 19, 2012

Please tell me which tomato product that is there next to the 7/11's, have you used it before? Thank you..
I ran into a minor problem tonight in my dough making process. Once I finished with the Kitchen Aid Hook and made three 12 oz dough balls, I realized that I did not have any one gallon freezer bags to put my dough into for the 24 hour minimum cold rise. So, i coated the dough balls with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and ran to the store. Normally, they go right into the fridge. By the time I got back from the store, 40 minutes had passed and the dough balls sat on the counter. It appeared that either they expanded out a little bit or they raised up a little. I am hoping this will not negatively affect the dough rise process that I am used to. Not sure if this will hurt the dough?Anyone have any thoughts or advice on this???
I just want people to be aware that you do not have to always use an expensive beer to get good results. Tonight i made dough with Blue Moon Belgian Style Ale and it makes really good dough. The dough ball in the photo below, still has to cold rise, but i can already tell that it will be good. I also want to say that it is a lot of fun trying all the different beers and it is fun to find a very limited beer to try in dough making.

Interesting observations on the version of the PJ clone I have been playing with
February 01, 2013, 09:05:57 PM »
OK I've settled in on a recipe with playing around the edges and made some interesting observations. I'll list my current run and sauce and then follow with how I played with things and the results.
I use for a 12" pie:
KASL 100% 268g
water 56.5% 152g
IDY .8% 4g
salt 1.5% (tablesalt) 4g
Canola 7.3% 20g
Honey 5% 14g (a clover based honey)
Finished ball is around 458g
I generally make 3 balls in a batch. My son like pepperoni only so I do one for him, and a 2nd for us and that varies depending on what I have and the third if company or for a second dinner later. My sauce is a can of 6-n-1's 1/2 tsp of onion powder, 1/2tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp crushed fennel seed, 1/2tsp oregano 8 - 10 fresh basil leaves, and 4 tsp of a good olive oil, and 3 tsp of sugar all run through the food processor and not cooked. That will make three pies.
Observations on ingredients, OK now I've played with other ingredients such as regular sugar but like the honey better. It browns nicely and is just as sweet with a smaller amount. I used baker's milk to help browning but found the honey served to sweeten and since i used kasl did not think i needed it. I've used olive oil but i think it adds an over taste (sorry I know thats not a real word). I've done IDY and ADY. I like IDY just because I'm lazy and don't need the bloom. I have seen no difference in the rise.
Now for the most interesting observations on how I made the balls. I use a kitchenaid mixer with dough hook. I've got two sizes the smaller standard one which is going on 25 years old would tend to bog down, so I use the larger Pro-650 with larger bowl and has the screw style. I find it moves the dough better than the old style and of course because the motor is bigger. I played with how i mixed the ingredients and how long the balls mix after they come together. I went as long as 15 min on the kneading and slowling adding the water, to my current method of adding the wet and dry ingredients except the salt. After the ball is fully formed and no loose ingredients, I add the salt slowly at the bottom and need for only 5 min. Don't know why but this produces the best looking ball and i noticed that adding salt earlier or in with other dry ingredients impacts the rise of the dough and how it cooks. I lightly oil the balls and place them in a rising box and put them in the fridge. I've gone as long a 5 days and as short (usually) 1 day. The five days is pushing it but the first day is fine and the 3rd day seems to be the sweet spot. Now for some observations on consistency. I noticed that often with doing 3 balls at once the pies baked differently. The first would be different from the 2nd and the 3rd. I chocked it up to the oven and stone being different temps due to the first pie cooling it down some (I start on a screen for 4-6 min and finish on the stone for 2 - 3 to brown the bottoms). By chance one night I was going to do just a single ball and after making that one, my son popped up and said he'd like to eat pizza the next night after all, so I made a second one. When I cooked the pies, they came out almost identical and were the most consistent of me earlier efforts. I immediately thought OK what did i do differently. So over the next month I experimented and found they by using the same recipe but doing them individually instead of 3 in a batch and dividing after the needing, I got much better results. Now I do three individual runs in the mixer instead of the one big batch and perfect each time. I know it could be something else, but I have been able to replicate results each time using this method.
My next experiment is a Neapolitan pie. I bought some 00 flour and tried a couple of tries with just water yeast salt but the results were not that great just bland. My goal is to try to match the pie i had in Italy back in the fall. It was heaven. I'm building a WFO this summer so I figure the high heat is a critical factor but thats a different thread for a different section. Ahhh the love of pizza!

Nobody Looks for you in Mexico
A road trip through central Mexico sends two longtime friends on a quest for volcano summits, rabbits, mescal and the shared meaning of death and running.
Photos by Rickey Gates
I found Jon at a corner table with a glass of mescal, half gone, in front of him. Though the bar was crowded with young Mexicans, his Scandinavian features—bronzed skin and wheat-blond hair—brought him no less attention than a two-horned Viking helmet covering his head. If his appearance didn't distinguish him enough, a thick, trying, surfer-like accent, where the roll of the Spanish r and the rhythm of the Latin tongue didn't come easy (or at all), had prohibited him from blending in throughout Latin America.
It was an Irish pub called O'Reilly's or Limerick or something, where you could buy a can of Guinness, overpriced and expired. I ordered three more shots of mescal from the sauntering bartender and joined Jon at the table.
Two for me, one for you, hombre.
This small, colonial city of San Miguel de Allende, a half-day drive north of Mexico City, is where I had parted ways with Jon during a motorcycle tour several years ago. It only seemed right to reacquaint here.
Salud, pesetas, y tiempo para gastarlos.

DPW director: It's winter — drive like it
HOUGHTON – After a slow start to the winter, the Houghton Department of Public Works now has to contend with an overload of snow.
Plows and sanders have been working double shifts since the unrelenting snowfall began last week, said Houghton Public Works Director Mark Zenner.
With temperatures expected to rise into the 30s this weekend, the streets will get narrower, Zenner said. He urged drivers to be cautious.
"This is the old way the weather used to be," he said after Wednesday's Houghton City Council meeting. "A lot of people that have moved here have never experienced this … You have to change your pattern. And plowing – people plowing across the road, putting it where they shouldn't be, causing a traffic hazard. The state's getting on us because they see it, so then in turn we've got to crack down on who's doing it."
With the deluge of the past week bringing the year's snowfall closer to historical norms, Zenner said it'll mean another tight winter budgetwise.
"It'll be a typical winter where you're scraping by, looking at the end of March and April to see where you are with budgets," he said. "We'll be running for a couple of weeks now just to get caught up."
Wednesday, the council approved the purchase of a used grader for $86,000, counting trade-in, to replace a city grader on its last legs.
Zenner said the 2002 grader would be a significant upgrade over the department's 1986 grader. The city recently had to send in the grader for $7,000 in repairs.
"We're on borrowed time," he said.
Zenner said he has looked at the newer grader, which appears to be in good shape. The new grader has a rebuilt transmission; the factory-installed transmission on the previous grader has given Houghton and other communities trouble, Zenner said.
In other action, the council:
accepted a proposal from MacInnes about designs for wayfinding signs on Shelden Avenue. The designs will go out to bid; the signs are hoped to be in place by FinnFest.
heard a police report from Chief John Donnelly. In the past two weeks, the department has responded to 171 complaints, 50 of which have been accidents. The department also made eight misdemeanor arrests and two felony arrests and issued five civil infraction tickets.
discussed the Don Miller Memorial Locker Room at Dee Stadium, which will be dedicated on Tuesday prior to the Houghton-Calumet game.
heard from City Manager Scott MacInnes there will a Michigan Technological University intrasquad hockey game at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Dee Stadium, the first time they have played at the Dee since at least the 1980s. Response to the renovated Dee ballroom has also been positive.
supported the website relocate.org to make four 60-second videos about the community for free; the company would get money through advertising. The company has similar videos on the Houghton County website.
approved $68,272 in funds from the Federal Transit Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation and the Michigan Department of Transportation.

JBoss Middleware
Migrate to Red Hat JBoss Middleware
Reliable transition
Trade high costs and vendor lock-in for open source and reliability
Exciting things happen when organizations move to Red Hat® JBoss® Middleware. That's why progressive enterprises like Sprint Nextel, E*Trade, and Roche are trading high costs and vendor restrictions for open source Red Hat JBoss Middleware.
Why migrate?
You need to move to the cloud—at some point.
Deploying applications to the cloud has many benefits, but when you do it should be up to you. Proprietary middleware can tie you to a particular delivery model or approach. Red Hat JBoss Middleware helps ease you into the cloud whenever you're ready.
Your legacy middleware cannot keep up with new technology requirements.
Organizations must be able to provide solutions that incorporate and support social, mobile, big data, and cloud computing—and whatever's next. Modular architecture and community innovation in Red Hat JBoss Middleware let you incorporate these new technologies and deliver applications to market quickly and effectively.
Your developers need to be more productive across the development cycle.
Developers need speed. They need to develop and deploy new applications—and update and redeploy their existing applications—faster. Red Hat JBoss Middleware's broad set of tooling capabilities, fast startup times, and superior support allow developers and architects to focus creative energies on innovations that truly differentiate your business.
Why Red Hat JBoss Middleware?
Red Hat JBoss Middleware can help you innovate more quickly, speed up your time to market, and unlock the value of your existing IT assets while lowering your costs and risk. Take advantage of:
- Faster Innovation. With the right tools and technology, productivity soars. You have the freedom to focus more time and resources delivering new solutions. Greater agility leads to faster innovation.
- Lighter weight.

- Lower cost and risk. With acquisition costs about 1/10th that of proprietary competitors, Red Hat JBoss Middleware delivers a fully supported enterprise-class, open source middleware portfolio with less risk of lock-in, lower barriers to entry and exit, and the flexibility to deploy new versions without additional license costs.

These ARE awesome. Great for a RAW / VEGAN lifestyle choice in comparison to actual noodles & super healthy
Yummy noodles!
Posted by 4759389167949650774 on Mar 12, 2014
I was pretty skeptical about these when I first heard of them, but they are wonderfully delicious. They work in salads or pasta-like dishes really well. I love packing them for lunch with different sauces. They will easily soften up if soaked in water with a little lemon for an hour. These are the best prices I've found. The kelp noodles absorb other flavors quite well. One pack serves 2 people.

These are a great alternative to rice noodles but with more nutrients and health benefits. soak them in lemon water to help soften them a bit.
Posted by Reviewer3176815 on Mar 26, 2014
If you want to add something extra to a meal, and would like to increase fibre intake without adding wheat or regular noodles, this one is great, the noodles blend in really nicely, or you can add them to a salad and get a completely different experience.
טוב מאוד

לא הכי טעים, אבל אופציה נהדרת לאיטריות ללא קלוריות
mmmmm, yummy

They don't have any taste but you can make great thai soups with this.
Kelp noodles

Excellent texture, delicious in any dish!! Don't go soggy at all!! Highly recommend!
great opinion
Posted by 5338329401578373328 on Dec 23, 2012
It is wonderful product - there are a lot of things you can do with this noodle.
Use this instead of pasta or noodles
Posted by Reviewer1401721 on Jan 03, 2013
It does not have much taste of its own but it will get the taste of the sauce. Do not try to eat as is - only with a warm sauce. This product is very low carb so suitable for low carb diets and diabetics.
love these
Posted by truevitality on Jan 17, 2013
these kelp noodles are amazing. if you rinse them and use in salads they are crunchy in a nice way, but still soft as well, rather like a bean shoot, but in hot foods they go soft like rice or vermicelli noodles. i had them with a seafood curry last night and they were amazing.

The MiniMovers Difference
If you are moving just up the road or even across town MiniMovers is the solution for you. Our unique removals system is perfect balance between hiring a truck and using a traditional moving company.
We are your expert short distance, door-to-door, same day movers, operating in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.
Our hourly rate system is flexible to suit your needs as we let you help as little or as much as you want. So you control the costs! In fact, we've found it frequently works out cheaper and easier than hiring a truck. All our rates come with a written No-Damage Guarantee that if we damage it, we will fix it.
Over 28 years of helping Australians move locally has made us Australia's most recommended removal company.
As a full service moving company, we also provide professional packing services (packers and unpackers) at an hourly rate which greatly reduces the stress of moving and speeds up the move too. Our MiniMovers Boxes are specially designed to dramatically decrease the moving time which lowers the cost. And with our buy back system, you can save even more.
Our local furniture removalists are well trained, and are always looking to help out customers.

- Office hours: – Mon – Fri, – Saturday, - Sunday

- NO Minimum charge!
- 15-minute increment charge with no minimal hours.

What areas do our local movers operate?
MiniMovers operates all around Australia. These areas include Removalists Brisbane, Removalists Gold Coast, Removalists Melbourne, Removalists Sydney, Removalists Adelaide, and Removalists Perth. If your location is not listed, feel free to contact us to see if we can still help.
Two men and a truck, and you can help!
We simply send a proper moving truck, two great removalists and Guarantee their workmanship. You do as much or as little as you want and we do whatever you need. The perfect move - professional movers and you control the cost. Two men and a truck, is all you need for most jobs. But thanks to the flexibility of Mini Movers, we are able to send more men to ensure your move is done right the first time.
Why trust just a man with a van, when we have 2 trained men and a huge truck.
Our professional movers are one of the best trained around Australia. Some moving companies just hire backpackers that have never worked as a mover, and expect them to hire a truck and move customers. Doing thing like this runs the risk of damage, theft, and over charge.
With Mini Movers, do not let anyone start until completing our award winning program. Also, the two men and a truck that you get are backed with an award winning guarantee that states "If we damage it, we WILL fix it". Don't choose a man with a van, choose Australia's most caring removalists today.

Famed EDA Industry analyst Gary Smith emalied his thoughts to me for posting here:
Although I agree with the idea of having a sponsor for a start-up I don't
think they should be assigned. Most start-ups should have knowledgeable
leaders that know that from the beginning. They are the ones that know
enough about their product that they can pick out an appropriate sponsor.
As for the Capital-Lite Semiconductor model, it sounds like the VC community
have been away from the Semiconductor market so long they haven't been
keeping up with all of the changes. The should check out
http://www.garysmitheda.com/industry-blogs/ "We are tripping over our own
Semantics" and
they-myth-of-the-170-million-dollar-design/ .
That or GSA should give an education program for VC's interesting financing
Semiconductor Start-ups.

Skip to comments.{Alleged} Manifesto of Ex-Cop Mass-Shooter, Christopher Jordan Dorner {Scrubbed by Facebook & MSM}
Posted on 02/07/2013 12:36:55 PM PST by drpix
Says he hates NRA President Wayne LaPierre; is a fan of Joe Biden; endorses Hillary for POTUS in 2016; and sends kudos to Matthews, Scarborough, Harvey, Williams, O'brien...
Excerpts below.
"186. Mr. Vice President... Ive always been a fan of yours and consider you one of the few genuine and charismatic politicians. Damn, sounds like an oxymoron calling you an honest politician. Its the truth."
"188. Hillary Clinton. You'll make one hell of a president in 2016."
"194. Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper, keep up the great work and follow Cronkite's lead."
Hey Hillary Clinton good news..you have your very first Hillary 2016 for President supporter..Hillary Clinton's reaction "So this guy is a cop killer, what difference does that make"
Why do I the sneaking feeling that ALL the current crop of mass killers were doing the biding of the lunatic left
And nothing to say about Rush Limbaugh: Where has this guy been. and to whom is he listening,......I just wondered.
Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper, keep up the great work and follow Cronkite's lead. I hold many of you in the same regard as Tom Brokaw and the late Peter Jennings. Cooper, stop nagging and berating your guest, they're your (guest). Mr. Scarborough, we met at McGuires pub in P-cola in 2002 when I was stationed there. It was an honor conversing with you about politics, family, and life.
Hummm, interesting how he includes Joe Scarborough in the list of liberals he admires.
I wouldn't be surprised..Hey I wonder when the media will go after Piers Morgan after all, this guy is a HUGE supporter of Morgan..I want to see the media crucify him like they did Sarah Palin after the Giffords shooting. I wonder, will the media make Morgan apologize to the families of those killed by Doner? All of these mass shooters have one thing in common, they are leftists..every single one of them..even the Sandy Hook shooters mother is from what I read a registered Dem
This creep is not too bright. It's been reported that he said he wouldn't stop killing people "until his name was cleared."
What do you mean scrubbed by Facebook and MSM? Just that they aren't reporting this, or that they are actively removing any mention of it?
"Mr. Morgan, the problem that many American gun owners have with you and your continuous discussion of gun control is that you are not an American citizen and have an accent that is distinct and clarifies that you are a foreigner. I want you to know that I agree with you 100% on enacting stricter firearm laws but you must understand that your critics will always have in the back of their mind that you are native to a country that we won our sovereignty from while using firearms as a last resort in defense and you come from a country that has no legal private ownership of firearms. That is disheartening to American gun owners and rightfully so."
I searched for it on facebook (where the MSM says Dorner originally posted it) but could not find it there. I did find it at the link I posted and who ever pasted it to that link (not me) stated on top "scrubbed by mainstream media outlets."
Will Morgan be forced to apology now since his #1 fan is going out killing people..this is the same prick who demanded that Sarah Palin apologize to the Giffords family..I see that on twitter Piers is saying that we should not politicize this LOL yeah thats because its HIS supporter doing it

His manifesto is like watching MSNBC talking points.perhaps this guy got his info straight from the White House, we all know that MSNBC and the White House are in bed together
If I knew how to spoiler it, I would paste it here, but will refrain due to its length and not wishing to longcat this venerable forum.
When the 'final straw' ultimately breaks the camels back, we are going to need miles and miles of rope.
Buy stock in rope.... and lumber.
I'm shocked.
The creep left out the beautious Mika Bzresinki (you should pardon my spelling) who actually reads White House talking points on air every morning. Maybe he's gay...
I think it's spelled Majka Bzezrinsky. (Corrections?)
The dude's a liberal Democrat!
If he liked the Tea Party, it would be the lead story in the media.
His name will surely become household words...just like Amy Bishop.
In the end, who cares how she spells it? She's the stupidest woman on tv this side of Savannah Guthrie!
He is all over the place. Here's one about Bush I: "The honorable President George H.W. Bush, they never give you enough credit for your successful Presidency. You were always one of my favorite Presidents (2nd favorite). I hope your health improves greatly. You are the epitome of an American and service to country".
I seriously don't think a pissed off LAPD officer hell-bent on killing would consider citing Mia Farrow or giving kudos to Elen Degeneres in his final manifesto...........
Sure this cop killer likes gun control! It doesn't hurt HIM.
Laws don't faze law breakers. Geez, how hard is that concept to get?
We need to pray an ordinary law abiding gun owner gets the drop on the guy and takes him out, and then make sure the media doesn't bury that...
He apparently has a vast knowledge of terrorist/insurgent TTPs. Not only that, but he can identify how their strengths match up with "our" gaps; especially when it comes to the LAPD. He made mention of the body armor used by the LAPD...and demolitions classes. It is pretty likely he knows how to make bombs more stable than AQIZ, AQIM etc with off the shelf supplies here......and use them against the TTPs of LAPD.
He almost seems envious of the jihadis and what he perceives to be their invincibility (their name lives on) and "higher purpose." Only, he has centered his own morality and "DNA" as the higher purpose.......that he is trying to promote. HE WANTS THEM [LAPD] TO FIND HIM. HE NEEDS TO BE A MARTYR.
He is trying to use agitprop, and a murder and intimidation campaign (terrorist favorite) to goad the LAPD into acting. Any move they try to make against him will be flipped back as excessive use of force.....to "prove" his point; and hopefully garner more sympathy/support - it will be a demonstration of sorts that the LAPD infringes upon civil rights (increased traffic stops, checkpoints, dragnets, etc).
They need to find this guy on the quiet - he told them how, and they need to off him. This is the #sshole they need SWAT for, not Amish selling non-pasteurized milk.
If this lasts for long it could light the fuse in LA. Lots of crazy grievance gangsters just waiting for an excuse.
Who is Amy Bishop?
But I did gather that this guy is targetting LAPD and feels quite justified in doing so. He claims racial discrimination on the job and perjury on the part of other officers in denying his claims of officers abusing suspects.
Dorner may be human scum, but that doesn't make the LAPD into Boy Scouts.
They will be able to hide behind the presumption that "Dorner Done It!". Not a good time to be LAPD.
Dorner's pickup was found burned out near a wilderness area. Perhaps that was part of his plan. He certainly had time to plant a getaway vehicle in that area before starting his slaughter.
He could be practically anywhere by now.
He could also off himself in such a remote location, like the bottom of an abandoned well, that the LAPD will still be hunting for him a decade or two from now.
The manifesto at my link (at the top of this thread) does not have the names redacted. You must have been reading a version linked by other posters on this thread or other threads.
My point (not very well made I'll admit) was that when leftists commit these kinds of atrocities, the MSM tends to be pretty low key in their coverage of it, but will keep anything that reinforces their 'armed right-wing psychotic' narrative.
