text: Prince Fielder looks like he could be coming close to signing with either the Washington Nationals or the new Miami Marlins. If Fielder does leave Milwaukee, Matt Gamel would be expected to take over at first base. Gamel's not much of an intriguing option though, as he's only a career .222 hitter in only 85 games. If Fielder signs with the Nats, look for him to play first base with Michael Morse covering left field and Adam Laroche sliding over to the bench or being traded once spring training begins.

Animal shelter evokes tears
To the editor:
Working at a humane animal shelter teaches you a lot about human tears.
Tears of Joy watching playful dogs toss rubber balls about their cages or young kittens playing tag.
Tears of Hard Work as the duties of running a shelter are back-breaking and never-ending.
Tears of Heartbreak that well up in the eyes of even the most seasoned workers when seeing beautiful, playful balls of fur confront life's harsh realities that can include abandonment, hunger and loneliness.
And the occasional Tears of Rage when we confront the ugliest cases of animal cruelty and human disregard.
But that never deters us from our main mission of running the finest shelter we possibly can, day after day, month after month and year after year. We do it because we know we have ALWAYS made a huge difference in aiding the lives of thousands of pets who are in need of loving and protective homes.
We rely on the kind generosity of people who believe in our mission, people who really care. Your donations make this possible:
-A no-kill shelter that supports our "furry residents" every day until they are adopted, no matter how long it takes
-Ongoing facility improvements that support animal quality of life
-Special pet programs including protective immunizations, microchipping to aid in solving lost-pet cases and an effective spay-neuter program to help control the number of homeless animals
-A record of placing nearly 5,000 animals in good homes over the past 12 years.
But our mission is always at risk. The daily costs of food, medicine, fuel and supplies have escalated drastically. We need your financial support.
We pledge to always be there to protect our furry buddies who cannot defend themselves. We hope you can join us by donating as generously as possible. Your gift will make a huge difference.
Thank you so much.
Dick Maid and the board of the Tri-Lakes Humane Society

Bakeries and home kitchens are a different arena. At least in a bakery/pizzaria setting a starter is really cared for properly, as i'm sure yours are. Its difficult for people making pizza at home to feed a starter properly over the long haul because their not making pizza every single night and they might not need the starter for weeks at a time. this is why i feel that a biga, or poolish method would suit the home kitchen MUCH better than trying to keep a starter active. Starters require attention an diligence.

Sports news from the Pollock, SD area.
Posted 2/04/13 (Mon)
By Jeff Kosters
The Herreid/Selby Area Wolverines traveled to Aberdeen last Tuesday evening to face an unfamiliar opponent in the Summit Eagles. Summit brought in a 7-6 overall record and was trying to avoid going on a three game skid; while Herreid/Selby Area was 6-6 and was trying to get back above the .500 mark.
The opening quarter was extremely competitive, with neither team having more than a three point cushion; as well as there being four lead changes in the quarter. Dakota Thorstenson and Cooper Schaefbauer would each score a handful, but Jake Steinocker and Trecy Zirbel would score eight and six respectively to give Summit a narrow 16-15 lead after one.
The second quarter would be much of the same, as there were five lead changes, and neither team would lead by more than four until a Brady Vander Vorst three pointer with less than a minute to play in the half would give the Wolverines a seven point cushion. Summit would hit a bucket at the buzzer to cut it to 38-33 at the half. The second quarter would see six three pointers – three coming from each team. Nick Larson, Cooper Schaefbauer and the aforementioned Vander Vorst would all connect from downtown; as well as Steinocker and Jacob Gapp, who would hit a pair of threes in the quarter.
Lane Rossow would hit a three pointer to start the second half and Thorstenson would follow it up with a bucket and the lead would grow to ten at 43-33. Gapp would answer with his third three pointer of the contest to cut it to seven, and following a Thorstenson free throw; he would hit another three pointer to cut the lead to five at 44-39 with just over five minutes to play in the third. James Rudebusch would hit his first and only bucket to cut it to three; and following another Thorstenson free throw, Zirbel would hit a three and the lead would be just one at 45-44 with three minutes to play. The Wolverines would finish the quarter on an 11-0 run on two buckets from Thorstenson, and one each from Schaefbauer, Larson (three pointer) and Kennedy Kosters; and the lead would balloon to a dozen at 56-44 following three quarters of play.
The domination would continue in the fourth quarter, as the Wolverines would outscore the Eagles 18-7 to pull away with a 74-51 victory. Larson led the Wolverines with a game high 25 points, with Thorstenson and Schaefbauer following with 19 and twelve respectively. Thorstenson pulled down 16 rebounds and had two steals; Larson nine rebounds, six assists and three steals; Vander Vorst and Schaefbauer four assists each; and Kosters and Rossow with two steals each.
Summit was led by Jake Steinocker's 18 points; while Zirbel and Gapp added 15 and twelve respectively. The Eagles didn't get to the free throw line until the fourth quarter, making three of their six attempts; while the Wolverines converted ten of their 14 attempts.

That's why there's that ugly drain hose (lower right corner, 2nd photo)
It drains the water to a big vase hidden under the table. I'm trying to find a more aesthetic solution (hollow bamboo) or a way to hide the hose. !

If it were Japanese, I might have said it was a "houbin" (or houhin, or hohin, depending on how you want to spell it) -- except that it is much taller than the normal houbin and the clay really looks like a typical Yixing clay and not at all a Japanese clay.
However, I haven't seen any vessels shaped like it, so I can't comment further on it.

I know that they are delicious and you can't go back after you try them, but how do you actually even convince customers to try a deep fried pie?
Are you kidding? American's will eat anything fried.
....being baked at the "mouth" of the wood oven where it is actually cooler. ... so I fold one up and let it bake on hedge of the oven opening.
a proper ripieno will take about twice as long as a margherita. Ricotta cheese. Sometimes I make a stuffed pizza with the sauce inside (xtra sauce) pepperoni and fior di latte.I fire it without any sauce on the outside and I don't poke a hole in it. The steam makes it blow up really (silly) big.I call it "The Ugly American".It has never been, and never will be on the menu, but it is fun.
FYI, if we are thinking of the same thing, a "fried calzone" is actually called a panzerotto. It may be called by different names in different regions of Italy too.
In my area of NE Ohio that concoction is called a panzerotti - very popular at the old-line shops.
Fabio,The filling I used probably must re-asemble a panzarotto, wich is called like that in Apulia but it must be much smaller and usually made of NOT fermented dough. owever Panzarotto is something else in Naples and we do not use that name for it.

Video: Veterinarian Smashes Squirrels' Heads
Veterinarian Gene F. Giggleman has been formally reprimanded and fined $2,500 by the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners based on allegations of unprofessional and/or dishonorable conduct following PETA's investigation at U.S. Global Exotics (USGE), a massive exotic-animal dealer where Giggleman was the attending veterinarian.
Giggleman's Cruelty
In this previously unreleased video footage, Giggleman smashes squirrels' heads into a cinderblock and recommends that workers cut sick snakes' heads off or "freeze 'em solid" in order to kill them.
The board found that Giggleman lost his controlled-substances log and falsely signed legally required documents attesting to the health of animals he had never examined so that they could be shipped overseas for the exotic-pet trade.
Despite the board's findings, he is still licensed to practice veterinary medicine in Texas and has retained his job as a professor at Parker University in Dallas.
Giggleman's Former Employer on the Lam
PETA's undercover investigation of USGE provided evidence of the abuse of more than 27,000 animals and resulted in the seizure of the animals and the closure of the business. Facing federal charges in connection with violating a wildlife protection order called the "Lacey Act," including smuggling, conspiracy, and aiding and abetting, former USGE owner Jasen Shaw and his wife, Vanessa, fled the country and are believed to be hiding in New Zealand. Interpol has issued a notice about Shaw and his arrest warrants.
What You Can Do
Giggleman is still under investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for his actions at USGE. Help ensure that Giggleman is held accountable for all that he did at USGE by urging Sarah R. Saldaña, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Texas, to charge Giggleman with felony and/or misdemeanor violations of the Lacey Act.
Contact Saldaña through her office's public information officer, Kathy Colvin.

Cruel is not the word for this Monster. Actually I am surprised that TSBVME actually did anything, probably because PETA was envolved, otherwise they protect the Vet ! Want to know how they usually operate, check out Bo Bo's web site, pages The Board Exposed and Before The Board. Standard for most boards no matter the state. htto://bobo-bear.org
I've had the gentle hands of Dr. G provide care for my kitten (starting at 3 weeks old) as well as my dog, since he was a small pup. Can't say I'd call him cruel, in fact the opposite. He's a very loving man. Certainly using an efficient way to kill already SICK snakes and other varmints is better than adding more toxins to the world, even if it involves freezing them. Keep in mind, these comments here come from a person whose brother suffered a spinal cord injury (and is now paralyzed) while saving a family of squirrels. I'm an animal lover, too.. Dr. G's practice has served my beloved pets very well and kept them healthy. If
ALL of you are indignated. DO your homework and find what it the common practices of Venetaries in Texas and around in the unites states. I do not support animal cruelty, but the irony is that this is not about one person, is about a profession that needs to RE-Think their doings. Any comments from "anonnymous" will be disregarded. If have an opinion identify yourself.
I forgot to mention that I saved a baby squirrel, fed him & he lived for 9 years!! His name was Bubba! He came running when called for his p-nuts. I thought what was his jealously in the beginning was due to the sodium in his p-nuts may be causing him to have hypertension (I'm just a Pharmacist, not a Vet, okay?). He learned to share a little, but I had to admit that he was spoiled rotten!! He was something precious to watch when called. I miss that baby!!! No one does what that A$$ did to those helpless animals, still works & walks the streets…not the streets I walk!! He needs to be destroyed & what better way than prison w/a huge boyfriend named Bubba who wants him for a girlfriend, okay!!! Thank you for the space and time!!
The Devil is waiting for this fool to die!! May he burn in HELL!!! How did he ever become a Vet? Yank his license & put him in Prison FOR A LONG, LONG TIME!!! He's what we do NOT want nor need in a Vet!! Get rid of him fast!! Please!!
I can't watch this, but I'm shocked and stunned. I'm just so let down by humans.
Giggleman should be held accountable for these savage and barbaric attacks on these animals. These are living beings that do not deserve this horrible treatment by anyone and especially by someone that is supposed to be helping animals. This professor at Parker University in Dallas, Texas is a disgrace to his profession and certainly has a serious character flaw to treat animals this way.
Giggleman should have his license permanently revoked, be charged with a Felony violation of the Lacey Act and spend real time in prison. He should also be registered as an Animal Abuser. Too many abusers get off with a mere slap on the hand. Giggleman is a sadistic, dangerous and unethical person.
The address is [email protected]
MAN SHAME!!!!! Giovanna Italia
I keep trying to hit 'Take Action' button but it just sends me to a blank page. Can someone send me the link to it please?
Are we sure he actually is a licensed vet? Seriously, He should loose his license, and fined for every single act of cruelty he gave out. People in the exotic pet trade should be shut down permanently as well.
This is ridiculously crazy. That sick bastard will pay. Those poor creatures will have justice!!!
This Veterinarian Gene F. Giggleman will be punished by God. Those who live will see. It's the law: what you make here, you pay here.
What does it take for someone to lose their license? A vetrinarian is supposed to be kind and helpful to animals, and this guy is a monster, and he gets a slap on the wrist. This world is backwards.
there were/are some doctors in nazi germany (mengele and co)(and somewhere else as well)who did similar stuff with humans. So, how far is that guy from doing the same with humans? Something had to happen in his mind to enable him to be that cruel to those defenseless, harmless and innocent beings (and btw to himself). So what could it be? And what to do about it?
Cruelly torture and treat animals like that…and you get a slap on the wrist and a small fine, steal 1000 dollars from the government and you'll be sued for the rest of your life and you will never work in anywhere else than mcdonalds. Just shows that monetarism makes sad, cruel people who perform their acts of cruelty to animals -because they've been cruelly treated, prolly in youth, by other men and he can't take it up with humans for he is too weak and cowardly- who are unable to defend themselves. Giggelman, you shall feel all that you inflicted upon those defenseless beings, if i ever happens our paths will meet. And who in their right mind gets that kind of pets? They're meant to live in their exotic enironment and not in some rich snobs back yard. I will be taking those people to MY pets who ever take such an animal out of it's natural habitat, to suffer in mans pathetic concrete jungle.

Sin so often seeks to do two things—express itself and excuse itself. Here's an example: we've heard those stories in which an unbelieving or disobedient husband makes life miserable for his Christian wife. We've also heard the world's counsel to those women—"You deserve better than this! Leave the bum! God doesn't expect you to submit to him! Take the kids and move out!" Can you hear the appeal to sin in those recommendations? Express yourself. Excuse yourself.
The world loves to lend advice to Christians under that kind of pressure. It whispers in their ear, "Escape—get away from all this." Or worse, "Attack—fight for your rights." Sadly, many Christian wives, often from desperation, take that advice, ignoring or else refusing to consult the Bible.
But what counsel does God give to women living with disobedient or unbelieving husbands? Does the Bible even address that subject? Absolutely. Join John MacArthur as he explains the power of godly submission in a difficult marriage . . .

First, listen to the sermon excerpt, then join the discussion in the comment thread. Before commenting, please note: this post is not referring to extreme abuse cases in which the life of the wife and children are in danger. In such cases, when a violence-prone husband becomes agitated and abusive, the wife should remove herself (and her children) from danger, by leaving the home, if necessary, and retreating to a secure place.

God made men in such a way that we CANNOT but love nurture, cherish and love our wives if they have a soft gentle spirit; and I don't mean a 'dead fish' type of wife without go - men also need a soul mate; a helper like God originally intended.

When I hear women say things like that about their husbands. It's sad that a woman would say such thing both in real life and on tv or movies. It's so catchy that women can follow what the tv says and they
do the same in real life. This blog is great to know these kind of stuff. Smiles.

Churches really need to step up and start teaching submission in the family! I want to be the wife God intends me to be and I am working on it, but never have I been to a church that preaches on this until I started going to the church I am attending now, although I believe they could be doing more. I feel so blessed to be able to listen to John MacArthur. As much as I know I am to be submissive to my husband, I still get all the worldly views stuck in my head. Not only being submissive but being a wife and mother that takes care of the home and family the way that is pleasing to the Lord. I absolutely love taking care of my home and family, but I still continue to let the world step in and confuse me sometimes! I love Gods plan and it is when I am doing what He says to do that I am in His will and that is when I know His joy and His peace. It's amazing when we just do what He says and not worry about what anyone thinks. We only need to please our Lord.
As a wife that does my best to submit to a husband that has often wandered from God's will, I find although it breaks my heart it strengthens my depending on God. This then makes submitting easier because I know God will take care of it. I have learned to thank God for a less than godly husband so I can grow in Him.
My husband was unsaved for the first 12 years of our 25 year marriage. I did submit to him as the head of our home, but very imperfectly and not always with a gentle spirit. God saved him anyway. He is such a transformed man it's really astonishing. Once, years ago, in a drunken tirade, he railed at me, "You should've married a PREACHER!" Now, whenever he fills-in for our pastor, he smiles at me, and I know exactly what he's thinking.
I think the very thing that leads to both parties involved (husbands and wives) not living up to God's expectations (submission on the wife's part, and headship on the man's part) is partly due to our respective roles within the family structure.
What I mean by this, is, we know that parenting is a responsibility that requires a total commitment from sun up to sun down. Women typically have been the caregivers, the nurturers, and the ones to get up in the middle of the night with the children, because the man needs his sleep to get up early to go to work. NOW, I use the word "typically" here, I do realize that this is not true in every case, and more and more women work outside the home. But for the most part, women work from sun up to sun down because of the huge commitment to small children, and this does not stop once the children become teens. This scenario, leads to a woman never abdicating her responsibility when her husband comes home from work. Many people see this as a woman being too aggressive and dominant, BUT her ROLE demands that she be a caregiver, on going.
Her husband, on the other hand, CONTINUES to let her be the caregiver and disciplinarian, because he is usually too tired from working 40-50-60 hours a week to participate in any conflict or care that may be on going. Men have so little time to spend with their children because of their work schedules, that when they do find the time, they do not always want to be seen as the heavy-handed parent.
So this whole picture of family life, which is all too typical, appears to give women far too much control in the home and over the children (because she HAS to work from sun up to sin down, her role demands it), while it seems to appear that men abdicate their roles as the head of the family, because they just want to relax when they enter their home in the evening and have fun with their children.
I do not feel that all of this is intentional on the part of either parent.
What say any of you?
How does a wife submit to a husband that has refused to take any type of leadership role? Leaving all the responsibility to the wife.
That's a good question. Because of the limited information you gave, I'm going to give a generic answer from John MacArthur. He was asked that very question in a Q&A Session and his response is below. I hope it helps:
What should a Christian wife do if her husband fails to be the authority for her to submit to?
What if the husband isn't seeking to fulfill his role? What if he abdicates his position of leadership and leaves it to the wife to be the head of the home? It happens frequently, and especially in the realm of spiritual authority.
I once received a letter from a wife who wrote, "I've made a terrible mistake. I tried to be submissive to my husband, but he wouldn't take the leadership. Little by little I took it over, and now I'm dominating and he will never take the leadership. How do I get myself out of this mess?"
The answer is, go back to being submissive. Force the issue. If he doesn't give you leadership to submit to, submit to the things you think he would like. Put yourself in the proper biblical role, and stay out of his. Then encourage him, pray for him, and support him as head of your home in every way you can. Above all, refuse to take dominant leadership of the family. Be obedient to the biblical pattern. Make suggestions and steer him quietly when absolutely necessary, but leave gaps for him to step into.
First Peter 3:1-2 says, "Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear." The word translated "submissive" there describes the function, not the essence, of the wife's role. In other words, while it is not saying that the wife's role is any less important than that of her husband, it is affirming that in the plan of God, she is the one to submit, and he is the one to take the headship.
Notice, too, that Peter says even if the husband is disobedient to the Word—whether he is a hostile Christ rejecter or a believer who simply fails to take the leadership—the wife's response should still be submission.
So the best way a wife can encourage a non-leading husband to take his role as head of the family is simply to submit to him, pursue her role with greater determination and respect for him, and pray that the effect of that will be to push him closer to fulfilling his role.
When godly woman summits to her husband no matter what. That woman is
is blessed by God.
Read God's Word and keep praying. Keep on doing so, that in time, He
will notice your positive attitude. He might realized the Lord is helping you out and drawing himself to the Lord Jesus, by God's love. Be a witness to him. God bless you.
I absolutely agree with Mr. MacArthur's commentary concerning what the scripture has to say regarding submissive wives. However, some of the comments concern me because just as this command is not based on the husband's behavior, the husband's command to love his wife is also unconditional.
I love the comment from Cathryn. The Holy Spirit's ability to change us is incredible! Being able to trust God enough to go through a hard marriage, either a man or woman, and see His work change lives, is beautiful.
Lori, you are right, I think people are just commenting on this particular blog, which deals with the wife. A husband has a high command to love his wife as Christ loves the church, no matter how his wife behaves. I believe his job is tougher then ours because he is the leader of the home and so much responsiblity rest on his shoulders.
Suzanne, I love you and will be praying for you and your husbands salvation.

Ted Leach, an English and journalism teacher with a blog, posted a piece recently about the quiet of the early morning. He explains how he started the habit of rising at 5 a.m:
This is something that I've been doing for years, so long that the original reasons for it no longer hold true. When I first started teaching, I had about an hour drive to work, and I found that I wanted to ensure that I was awake when I got behind thewheel of the car. I thought the other drivers would appreciate it as well. So I started intentionally waking up, having breakfast, and getting on the road at 6 a.m.
And you know what? I came to like this time of day.
There's a quiet to this time of the day, broken only by the sound of my fingers hitting the keyboard.
I came upon the piece when doing some, er, "self-searching." I have enjoyed Leach's blog before and am glad to return to it. I'll be a more regular reader now.
In his treatise De vita solitaria, Petrarch describes three kinds of solitude:
that of place, with which my present discourse is specially taken up; that of time, as in the night, when there is solitude and silence even in public squares; that of the mind, as in persons who, absorbed in deepest contemplation, in broad daylight and in a crowded market-place, are not aware of what is going on there and are alone whenever and wherever they wish.
Many people think of solitude in terms of physical isolation. My book, Republic of Noise, focuses mainly on solitude of the mind. But solitude of time has a special quality. It is place, mind, and time at once.
When I was in high school, I used to arrive early in the morning so that I could enjoy the quiet of the halls. I would sit in my homeroom or walk around, and listen as people started arriving and the voices mixed and multiplied.
There's solitude of season as well. In college, I liked to stay near the campus over the holidays. (I lived off campus after freshman year, so I didn't have to clear out.) Walking through the courtyards alone, entering buildings and hearing nothing but the echo of my footsteps, I seemed to be in dialogue with the place.
In some way, these quiet times of day and of year are important to education, but how? They allow not only for untrammeled thought but for a different view of a familiar place. One recognizes gradations of light and sound. These gradations are important for study as well; you come to welcome those hours when you hear the book's words more clearly.
And essential for teaching, from a practical standpoint, if you have a long commute or wish to get to school early. I like to have half an hour (ideally) at school before the first bell rings. For that, I have to leave home no later than 6:30. This is fine, though; I get to enjoy the long, sleepy train ride, where few people talk and there are usually empty seats.
I first "met" Ted Leach on his blog when he criticized my article "The Most Daring Education Reform of All." I responded to his criticism, and we ended up having an interesting and enjoyable exchange.

Ponzi scheme
Is the US bankrupt?
A good number of voices are beginning to say that technically, if not in fact, the country is bankrupt.
America is a "Mickey Mouse economy" that is technically bankrupt, according to Jochen Wermuth, the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and managing partner at Wermuth Asset Management.
"America today looks like Russia in 1998. Consumers, companies and the government are all highly indebted. America as a result is a bankrupt Mickey Mouse economy," Wermuth told CNBC.
Wermuth goes on to say that if the same IMF team that managed the 1998 Russian financial crisis in Russia were to walk into the US Treasury today, "they would withdraw support for current US policy".
And don't forget Mort Zuckerman who called the present policies our "economic Katrina".
But as bad as present policies are, they aren't solely the reason we're in the awful economic shape we're in. We have a history of that.
"Even before the (Troubled Asset Relief Program) and the expansion of the Fed's balance sheet, total US public and private debt as a percentage of GDP in the US stood at 290 percent, that figure is now far higher," Wermuth added.
Laurence Kotlikof explains it in terms of a "fiscal gap".
The fiscal gap is the value today (the present value) of the difference between projected spending (including servicing official debt) and projected revenue in all future years.
The IMF pointed out in its last report that the US must close this fiscal gap to "stabilize the debt to GDP ratio". The IMF estimates ""closing the fiscal gap requires a permanent annual fiscal adjustment equal to about 14 percent of U.S. GDP."
So what does that mean in dollars?
To put 14 percent of gross domestic product in perspective, current federal revenue totals 14.9 percent of GDP. So the IMF is saying that closing the U.S. fiscal gap, from the revenue side, requires, roughly speaking, an immediate and permanent doubling of our personal-income, corporate and federal taxes as well as the payroll levy set down in the Federal Insurance Contribution Act.
Note the two words – "immediate" and "permanent". In order to pay off the huge debt our "betters" in Washington DC have run up over the years, strictly from the revenue side, our taxes would have to see an "immediate" and "permanent" doubling.
Sounds like bankruptcy to me.
Kotlikof also tells us about the shady book keeping Congress has been engaged in for decades and what the books probably really look like:
Based on the CBO's data, I calculate a fiscal gap of $202 trillion, which is more than 15 times the official debt. This gargantuan discrepancy between our "official" debt and our actual net indebtedness isn't surprising. It reflects what economists call the labeling problem. Congress has been very careful over the years to label most of its liabilities "unofficial" to keep them off the books and far in the future.
But of course, "official" or "unofficial" it is still debt. Whether Congress will admit to it doesn't change the fact that it is future debt that Congress has incurred through its profligate policies.
And what's going to bring this all crashing down, despite the smooth and reassuring words of politicians without a clue? Promises made with no fiscal ability to keep them because, in reality, they're Ponzi schemes:
We have 78 million baby boomers who, when fully retired, will collect benefits from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid that, on average, exceed per-capita GDP. The annual costs of these entitlements will total about $4 trillion in today's dollars. Yes, our economy will be bigger in 20 years, but not big enough to handle this size load year after year.
Got that – government promised $4 trillion a year that it doesn't have and never has had. And, thanks to Congressional Democrats, it just expanded that bill under ObamaCare. The system, much like an engine running at hight RPMs with no oil, is going to stop and stop abruptly:
The first possibility is massive benefit cuts visited on the baby boomers in retirement. The second is astronomical tax increases that leave the young with little incentive to work and save. And the third is the government simply printing vast quantities of money to cover its bills.
The result of any of those, of course, would be economically catastrophic. And the results among the citizens of this country would be horrible:
Most likely we will see a combination of all three responses with dramatic increases in poverty, tax, interest rates and consumer prices. This is an awful, downhill road to follow, but it's the one we are on. And bond traders will kick us miles down our road once they wake up and realize the U.S. is in worse fiscal shape than Greece.
For years and years, politicians have claimed all is well with these programs, that we can afford them and that they'll always be there for those who need them. None of the above is or has been true since their inception. If any private business operated as these programs have, the CEOs would be under the jail and wouldn't see daylight until our sun exploded.
For years, the left and Democrats have made war on corporations and businesses all the while it has been government leading us to financial ruin. This debt isn't debt run up by the private side of the economy. It is purely government's doing. Now, given the gravity of the situation, we have very few options and the future does not look bright.
Next time you see your Congressional representative or Senator, thank him or her for the mess they've had a hand in creating and ask them how they are going to fix it. Don't be surprised by the blank stare you receive in return. They haven't a clue.

Fletcher: Busy week with lots to talk about
A hectic week had resulted in a column of disjointed thoughts, few of which deal with economics.
Two people whom I always admired died this past week, Clair Diamond and Ethel LaHaie. If you would like to pattern your life after someone with values and the grit to stick to those values, then you should study their lives as an example.
As a complete counterpoint to the graciousness of their existence, we have the fact that the three books entitled "Fifty Shades " are finally off the charts and, I hope, headed for the dung heap of the forgotten "how to" sex textbooks. I'm old enough that we didn't have films nor books when I was learning about such things and my generation did just fine, thank you.
I just finished reading the 35-page "Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community" that was presented to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence March 12. It's on the Internet so you can read it too, but it will scare your socks off.
Read Hillary Clinton's statements on the massacre in Libya and talk to me after whether your opinion changed. "What difference does it make" should haunt her forever.
Also, mull over what our response should be to the nuclear threat from North Korea, China, and Iraq's long range missiles. China announced another 10 percent increase in its military budget while we are cutting our own by 7 percent.
Last week I saw an aerial photograph of five U.S. aircraft carriers lined up at docks side by side at Norfolk, Va. It looked to me like a perfect setting for a Pearl Harbor sequel in the ICBM era. I believe we have only 11 aircraft carriers in our whole fleet. You and I diversify our retirement portfolios to spread the risk. Why don't we spread out our navy's ships for the same reason?
I started this column about gracious women, now let me close with mention of an outstanding gentleman. I remember at Jesse Besser's death talking to my father about Jesse's philanthropic philosophy and how his death would impact the community. I knew Jesse as a great benefactor who had helped with community construction projects everywhere around Alpena. I, and most of the community, were grateful for his help. I learned to be respectful of that generosity, and mindful of the impact such a practice could have on a community.
Later, when a local institution started to forget to use my forbearer's name in its publicity, I stopped our annual gift. I hope Jesse's family, via the Park Family Foundation, isn't as petty as I was.
That foundation recently indicated it would no longer manage the Northern Lights Arena when its contract expires in a few months. It seems not all user groups agreed there needed to be more diverse use of the facility, especially with the second ice rink.
I hope the new managers rent enough ice time to cover the cost of a new Zamboni when the need arises. Don Silver, who ran Battle Creek's ice program for years and has a degree in recreation, told me there is no municipality in the state that has run two sheets of ice economically. In other words, long-term philanthropic help often is necessary to keep such arenas afloat. With the Park Family Foundation gone soon, who will fill those philanthropic shoes?
Next week I'm going to talk about why the unemployment statistics really aren't accurate and share with you how to figure "true" unemployment numbers.

New York City's Department of Buildings will begin tracking their inspectors using GPS technology embedded in the workers company issued cell phones. The tracking systems will take effect on Monday, by monitoring ten inspectors at first and by the end of the month they plan to be monitoring all 379 inspectors.
The GPS systems are being installed because of an incident concerning an inspector named Edward J. Marquette. Marquette filed a false inspection report on a crane. That crane toppled 11 days later killing seven people.
Buildings Commissioner Robert D. LiMandri said "This new GPS tracking system is a simple, innovative way to ensure inspectors reach their assigned locations and are held accountable for their important work."

Many of the inspectors are not happy with the news changes. Joseph M. Corso, the president of Local 211 of the Allied Building Inspectors Union has reacted by saying, "Just like the Justice Department monitors parolees and those under house arrest, they'll have a tracking device," he said of the inspectors. "We're going to do all we can to ensure the rights of the membership are covered." …

Topic: Hosting a web app that uses java and rails code in it?
I have a web app developing and I want to host it via any commercial hosting company however my app is using JAVA code that works on background and RAILS code for user interaction. What do you think about the hosting company that provides such a infrastructure for such a architecture? Is there any that you would suggest?
Thank in advance...
Addition: Also I know that any Jruby on rails project can be used as WAR on java server via warbler, Do you thin is it possible to convert the project to WAR file although I use regular Rails?

In Kuala Lumpur Chinatown on Jalan Sultan is a shop that I have frequented before - Evergreen - an attractive commercially aware teashop with very nice teaware, and some nicely packages teas, that sadly seem to be no more than commercial quality.
It is part of the "5 Elements" building complex and fronts on to the main street. As you face it from across the street Evergreen is on the right, the 5 Elements hotel entrance is on the left and between is an entrance to what I took to be office buildings, until I was better informed this year.
This year when I returned the pavement facade, and hotel coffee shop had all been given an impressive facelift and everything looked far superior to previous years. I commented on the upgrade in a favourite tea haunt of mine to be told that inside the middle was in fact a mall on several floors and for years few of the rooms had been taken, but a new owner had taken over with verve and all the lots were now occupied - including about 10 teashops, 3 of which were highly recommended to me.

Topic: refactoring out some duplication
Hi rails gurus!
Got a refactoring problem here... can it be done?
For all of you who experienced Ryan Bates's amazing Railscast #103, you can understand my desire to jump right in an use it on my site. I added it yesterday and also improved it. I pulled the announcements div out into a partial, renamed one of the methods, and added a method to check if more than one message was being displayed, and if so, produce a plural form of the hide statement.
In adding the method, I made messy looking model and I need help refactoring it please.
Here is all the code I have changed/added to Ryan's examples in the railscast episode and notes...
[code type=ruby]
######## in application.html.erb - applicaion layout
<%= render :partial => "shared/announcements" unless announcements_to_display.empty? %>
######## new _announcements.html.erb - the announcements partial

<% for announcement in announcements_to_display %>

<%=h announcement.message %>

<% end %>

<%= announcements_hide_link %>

######## in application_helper.rb
#changed the name of this method
def announcements_to_display
@announcements_to_display ||= Announcement.current_announcements(session[:announcement_hide_time])
#here is my new helper method to product the link
def announcements_hide_link
if Announcement.count_all_current_announcements(session[:announcement_hide_time]) > 1
message = "Hide these messages"
message = "Hide this message"
link_to_remote message, :url => "/javascripts/hide_announcement.js"
######## in announcements.rb
with_scope :find => { :conditions => "starts_at <= current_timestamp AND ends_at >= current_timestamp" } do
def self.current_announcements(hide_time)
if hide_time.nil?
find(:all, :conditions => ["updated_at > ? OR starts_at > ?", hide_time, hide_time])
def self.count_all_current_announcements(hide_time)
if hide_time.nil?
count(:conditions => ["updated_at > ? OR starts_at > ?", hide_time, hide_time])
I need help with the major duplication in the model. How can I count in a better way? Also, if any of you have other suggestions, I am all ears!
Thanks for the help, and thanks to Ryan for the awesome railscasts.

Bulk gift cards
B&B Theatres has implemented a three-tiered discount structure which impacts various applications within our cinema locations. One of these applications is our Discounted Gift Card Program.
Devised to appeal to a range of movie-goers from single families to large institutions, Discounted Gift Cards allow theater credit to be purchased for less than its redemption value. The applicable discount is determined by dollars spent over a twelve month period. The discount tiers are:
- 10% discount: $300-$1499
- 15% discount: $1500-$2499
- 20% discount: $2500 or more
For a practical example, we can take a look at a family of four that attends the cinema once a month. Each visit might cost the family $50, or at total of $600 over the course of a year. This family could achieve the 10% discount and purchase a $600 Gift Card for only $540, allowing them to maintain their same habits for less money!
On a larger scale, a local manufacturer might decide to incentivize each of its 350 employees by giving each a $10 Gift Card to B&B Theatres. From the outset, the option would cost the company $3500. The company, however, earns a 20% savings and drops the total to $2800, or only $8 for every $10 card.
The Gift Cards do not expire, there is no service fee, and the balance on each card can be redeemed toward anything that B&B sells. These options naturally include tickets and concession items, but also extended menu food choices, standees, and alcoholic beverages (where available).
The Discounted Gift Card Program is a simple way to make your dollars go further at the Box Office or to give employees, students, or family members a gift that affords them the freedom to spend how they like!

Group tickets
B&B Theatres offers group VIP ticket packages at a rate significantly below traditional adult evening admission price. This program allows participating organizations to purchase quantities of discounted tickets for distribution to employees, students, faculty, team members, and other applications. Each ticket is sold at a discounted prices and packages of tickets must be purchased in increments of one hundred (100) or increments of 50 beyond that amount (150, 200, 250, etc) . Elementary schools and related organizations will sometimes choose to use the tickets as rewards or incentives. Some colleges and large manufacturing companies sell the tickets to students or employees for only a dollar or two, thus recouping some of the initial cost but still providing a value and discount to the user.
The tickets do not expire and can be redeemed at any B&B Theatres location. While various upcharges would be applied when redeemed for Grand Screen, Marquee Suite, RealD 3D, or other premium, venue-specific features, VIP Tickets are a wonderful way to offer discounted tickets to large groups. VIP Ticket purchases are processed by our corporate office in Liberty, Missouri. Payment information can be kept on file at the office, meaning a phone call or email is all that is required to place an order for tickets. B&B office personnel will ship the tickets (UPS) when payment is processed at no cost to the purchaser.

In my opinion, it's not the low hydration that particularly makes the cracker crust, but rather the lamination process. So, without the use of sheeters, one must find a way to laminate dough without over-rolling as this causes unwelcome toughness. To do this, compromises have to be made...your idea of using warmer water is a good one and I know it matters tremendously at work. But, I also think that you can experiment with developing the dough a bit more in the mixing stage....I know with my kitchenaid mixer, the 45% dough came together a lot easier than the drier doughs...yet, I kept it way undermixed..and since I've been playing around with long room temp ferments, I thought , why not, so I did....I really didn't know what to expect, and so I was flabbergasted at the results for a first try.
Now, here's a question...why is the lamination so much different...is it because of cell compression, or is it the actual dough Kneading like action of the extra roll.
Has anybody made the thin crackery dough and topped it and froze it to bake at a later time ?
Does anybody have a good pizza sauce recipe ?

Americas Olympics Qualifier, May 5-12, Rio de Janeiro
Seven U.S. national championship boxers will fight for Olympic spots in the Americas Olympic Qualifier, which begins Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the host city of the 2016 Games. Depending on the weight class, U.S. boxers will need to finish among the top five, or top three, in order to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Among the U.S. boxers is Olympic Trials winner Marcus Browne, a light heavyweight from Staten Island, N.Y. A two-time PAL national champion and three-time Golden Gloves national champ, Browne didn't win an Olympic spot because he didn't finish high enough at the AIBA World Championships. The same is true for Jamel Herring, a light welterweight, and Jose Ramirez, a lightweight. Their final Olympic chance will come at the Americas Qualifier. The other U.S. boxers are: Santos Vasquez, light flyweight; Terrell Gausha, middleweight; Michael Hunter, heavyweight; Dominic Breazeale, super heavyweight. Rau'shee Warren, a three-time Olympian; Errol Spence and Joseph Diaz Jr. previously qualified for London.
Their opponents in Brazil will be from North, Central and South America.
"If I don't do well here, there will be no London," Browne told silive.com. "But I don't see why I shouldn't qualify. I'm in shape. There are no excuses."

ATI Technologies, a leading supplier of graphics processors, has reportedly taped out its code-named R600 graphics processing unit (GPU), which means that the company may release its new chip by the end of the year.
A news-story over VR-Zone web-site claims that ATI's processor internally called R600 has been made at a fab using 65nm process technology. Usually the "tape out" term means that the chip developer had received working sample of a processor from its foundry partner. Usually, it takes chip companies several months before such chip can be finalized and sold to end-users.
While the news about tape-out of ATI's next-generation high-end graphics chip is generally good one for ATI, it does not mean that the company will release the chip on time. ATI's code-named R520 GPU was taped out in late 2004, but it took ATI ten months to make the chip work properly and the firm only released its Radeon X1800 product lineup in October, 2005.
According to sources familiar with the plans of ATI Technologies as well as some media reports, ATI R600 will have 64 unified shader processors – an unprecedented number so far, 16 texture units – inline with today's GPUs, clock-speed beyond 650MHz and support for high-speed GDDR4 memory controller.
Traditional GPUs have dedicated pixel shader and vertex shader processors. In cases, where a frame being rendered contains a lot of geometry and just a few pixel shaders to determine colour, the performance is limited by vertex shaders, while pixel processors are standing idle. GPUs with unified shader processors will have special scheduler inside them, which will determine the load from pixel, vertex and geometry shaders and then assign appropriate number of processors for every kind of work. This will allow to utilize all the computing power of the GPU, believes ATI. Nevertheless, rival Nvidia Corp. believes that implementation of a unified shader architecture should be gradual and cautious.

Let's not forget the effect of helicobacter pylori bacteria on ulcers, they are in general held to be the main cause these days.
I have another theory about the beneficial effect of aspirin, caffine, etc. We evolved with them. Our diet was rich in salycilates and chemicals similar to theobromine or caffine. They came from the plants we ate, some of which were mildly toxic and which we evolved to process to the point that we became dependent on some of their effects. There are a lot of things in the primitive diet that modern people don't eat much at all, like acorns which had to be soaked to remove alkalai and tannin.
If this is the case, taking aspirin and drinking coffee or tea replace substances found in a more primitive diet.
If this was a drone and was just using the mobile frequencies for communication, it would probably use an off-the-shelf cellular modem module to communicate normally over the cellular network. A special testing authority from the FCC would not be necessary.
Lots of people ask about this. If we did pure speech-to-text and text-to-speech, it would take about half the bandwidth but everybody would have the same synthesized voice. Once you start trying to add parameters to the synthesized voice such as pitch, speed, and tonality, those take as much bandwidth as we are using for the entire codec, because they are essentially the same parameters.
I THINK THEY SHOULD CONTINUE the policy of not giving a Nobel Prize for paneling. -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

Our free interactive training tool provides a schedule that's individualised for your ability and goals
Don't let your ambitions run away with you - it is important that you enter times that represent your current fitness level else SmartCoach will tailor your plan at too high a level for you to train without running the risk of fatigue and injury.
Not had my 305 that long but have used it to PACE myself in a recent race. I set it up to display PACE and average PACE and did not use any alarms. Damn thing would drive me mad if I was trying to keep to an exact PACE, bound to be some ups and downs.
fantastic - I have been twiddling with a plan for a few days and it wrote it for me.
Didn't think it would do one for me as 5k takes me 46 minutes but it did - fab
I'm not really in agreement with the paces it offers me. Based off my 10k pb of 37:57 it tells me to do all my training runs (with exception of tempo and intervals) and 7:26 pace when training for a half marathon. I wouldn't dream of doing a 17 mile training run for a half marathon at 7:26 pace...!
It also puts the longest run a week before the race, and the training is identical whether I want a "tough" or "easy" training programme.
I used to train fast all the time and got injury after injury, so I'm a little worried others may succumb to the same if they follow this to the t...
marian, have a look at macmillan for the paces.................it has been established longer and gives a range. advice is to aim for the slower end of the range to start with and progress towards the faster end. the big benefit of smartcoach for me is the type of training.........the number of easy runs, when to do speed and tempo and to include one long run. this approach is similar to jack daniels. four of my weekly six runs are of 3 miles (constricted by lunch time) and i think i have been running them too quickly. my new plan is now - tempo run (5 miles on Monday), easy 3 miles Tuesday, speed intervals Wednesday (3 miles), form intervals Thursday (3 miles @ easy pace), easy three miles Friday and long run @ easy pace on Saturday (anything from 6 to 10 miles).
rach e - what's gobi's view on smartcoach?
Thank you for the tip, the site is great will work on this - thanks again.
it's the smartcoach schedule on here for a 10 mile race based upon my time in a 6 mile race. the schedule lasts 16 weeks. i aim to use the schedule to plan the different types of run: easy*3, speed*1, tempo*1 and long *1 each week: and the distances but i am using macmillan to work out the speed ranges.
at the moment i am racing each weekend and so it's difficult to stick with a schedule but the long, easy, interval and tempo sessions seem to follow the jack daniels approach.
i was just following up on a comment that you made about the smartcoach schedule being "Rapid path to injury looking at the way it organises long runs and predicts pacing" but if i am using macmillan for paces maybe it's not such a big deal.
okay, so using a race time and mcmillan, which will take account of current ability and the amount of time that i have (4 runs each week at lunch time, one evening club run and one long weekend run), here is my current plan.
Monday (5 mile club run @ tempo pace)
Tuesday (3 mile easy paced run)
Wednesday (3 mile interval session - 1/2 mile warm up and cool down, middle 2 miles split between 1 minute @ interval pace and 1 minute @ recovery pace)
Thursday (3 miles @ easy pace)
Friday (3 miles @ easy pace)
Saturday (90-120 minutes @ easy pace)
Sunday (Rest).
How does that look? I have a variety of races coming up, 5 and 10 miles trail, 10k and HM road. Was also thinking of doing a repetition session (intervals at mile or fast pace every third Wednesday). Should I be looking to do longer intervals (2 minutes perhaps). Should Friday's easy be something else?
I agree with M., age doesn't determine your pace as much as previous pace does, but age probably does have a bearing on how much recovery you need and there's no allowance for that.
Maybe some of us need to try and follow the plan and then feed back what our experience is? The plan it gives me for a slowish marathon looks harder and faster than I have done in the past, but then again my times are slipping backwards (that age thing again)... it may just be what I need ;o)
I really wish we could get our schedule in kilometers instead of miles!! I've got all my kit set up in km and I entered my details in km (though I actually had to get out a converter widget to work out how many miles I do per week!), so I'd have to manually convert all the milages to get it workable for me!
ugh, I'll just go out on my owninstead...
hello everyone, i am doin my first marathon this w'end-loch ness!
am nervous coz i have been bit lazy over the past 3-4 wks and not doin my long runs-just ticking over w 2x half marathons and 2 x10ks(1 a forest-quite tough). have been doin lots of yoga tho..........om. thats my excuse-am studying for my teachers cert.
the marathon plan i got was out of my loch ness booklet and it looks nothing like the one smartcoach gave me- i put in all my details coz i am hopin to do dublin in 4wks.
i think its a bit of trial and error until you get up to serious standards.
my friend has ran over 50 full marathons, and has stuck to the old fashioned 18wk plan for the past 30 yrs. wow!
so im a long way off that yet.
good luck y'all.
Hello Lisa welcome to RW
And Good Luck for Sunday. And for Dublin i did that one last year and had a good time, can't believe its a year already.
I'm sure you'll be ok you wouldn't want to be doing long runs too near the event anyway.
thanks pammie, will let you all know how i get on.
away to bed to dream of nessie!
good luck with your training.
Hi All
I am really confused! I want to improve and am desperate for a training schedule that is realistic to get me from 10k at 65 minutes ( I am old and flabby!) to a half marathon in 16 weeks. This one looked good to me - with distances I can achieve now to maintain motivation but the thing that worried me is the pace. It seems very slow - two miles at 12.27 will bore me stupid. Is the slow pace to help me build up distance and I can increase speed later? I do have trouble evening out my pace, so find I do the first two miles in under 19 mins, then gasp later on! And then I read all the comments from much more experienced runners and don't know whether to start or scrap this schedule and look elsewhere!Help please!
In this case the speedwork is 800metres in 4:19 minutes.
With a 5k time of 28 minutes, you wouldn't be expected to a mile in 4.19.
