Matt,I can understand more flavor will develop, but I am concerned about since you use 00" flour and I used KASL flour in this sour dough, that 00" flour seems to have a lower amylase enzyme activity with lower amount of starch damage. My ambient room temperature arent really cool this time of year. I am worried there wont be enough of residual sugar left and my dough might become unmanageable. I also am only going to be baking in my home oven. Just since I balled the bulk fermented dough it has risen to almost double in size. I used 5% starter for my formula and will post the formula I used later today. I am not sure of the potency of my starter either, because I just activated them last week. My salt amounts I used arent that high either so, they also wont delay fermentation in my opinion. I am just trying to understand sour dough and how it behaves. I dont want to have to call 911 forum control, but might need to. Thanks, Norma
S00da, I don't think we are. We are trying to find/confirm a generalize conversion rate for starter and ADY/IDY so that members can do simple math and switch from one to the other. I found a usuable conversion for ADY to Starter (or vice versa) a while back and now trying to apply that to IDY vs Ischia starter. I realize that starters can vary in leavening strength let alone the way it is fed and activated. Maybe if we can find a usable conversion, then we can nail down a somewhat standardize method for caring/feeding/activating starters from the fridge to room temps. Well at least that's what I'm doing. I think Norma would like to make her Lehmann dough recipe using Starters instead of IDY as she had been previously. Chau
I will feed the starter again today and then measure out a cup to see what it weighs. Where do I go to find out how much a cup would weigh in oz. or grams?
Matt,Do you have some kind of room or temperature control unit where you bulk ferment you dough and dough balls? I only figured out a formula yesterday using the preferment dough calculating tool and dont know what my results will be. I can understand that starters are very unpredictable and I will need to study how all this fits together. I think what Chau is trying today with IDY is different from what I am trying, but he is using an Ischia starter in his experiment.Norma
Norma,I am not quite sure I understand your question, but if you are asking where I got the 9 ounce per cup conversion factor, it was in the Appendix to Ed Wood's book Classic Sourdughs. A cup of your starter culture might be more or less than that.Peter
My starter is activated in the MR148, & the finished dough is proofed in my homemade proofing box under controlled temperatures & humidity. I proof the dough balls in a commercial dough tray in my indoor oven controlling the temperature by cycling the light in the oven on & off.Matt
What I meant, was should I just weigh out a cup of starter before I feed it and then feed it and next weigh how much activated starter weighs at one cup? Sorry for the confusion.
Norma,No problem. What I wanted to see is how much one cup of your natural Ischia poolish weighs at the point where you are about to use it to make the dough. That might not happen until you make your next dough batch. So there is no urgency. I just wanted to test the number that Ed Wood uses. Peter
well it looks like when I use my starter this morning it wasn't fully active. Right now the IDY ball is growing at a faster rate. I'm not sure it willl equalize over the next 4-5 hours.Norma are you using a measuring cup for dry ingredients or for liquids? Just curious as I have an active starter now and can measure out a cup to compare. Chau
Norma after feeding and doubling, I re-measured using a measuring cup for liquids and got 186gm. My previous measure was 210 using the measuring cup for dry ingredients. Obvious to me that the 2nd time around (186gm) that starter was much more frothier/bubbly at time of measurement. So I would saw between 190 and 210, maybe 200gm for an average cup of active starter???
Nice work Norma. My experiment with the starter vs IDY today was a botch. At least you got pies out of your experiment. There were several reasons for the botched experiment, but I will spare you the details. chau

Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Humans hunt great white sharks primarily for sport and for body parts. Great white sharks have developed a reputation in the media as being aggressive and ferocious and as a result they have become a highly prized sport fish. A fully intact jaw of a great white shark can be sold for thousands of dollars. Great white sharks are never abundant because they are at the top of their food chain. In areas that contain great white sharks, boaters and dive operators can earn a living from "shark tourism". This "shark tourism" allows visitors to see great white sharks up close from the safety of a steel cage suspended in the water (Long, 2009). Traded products that come from great white sharks include fins, jaws, teeth and meat, cartilage, and skin for leather. Liver oil is used in medicines, and the carcass can be used for fish-meal and fertilizer.The trade in shark fins is generally on the increase with records from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations indicating that the international fin trade increased significantly between 1980 and 1990. The demand for shark fin escalated further during the 1990s, making it one of the most expensive fishery products. Jaws and teeth are the most valuable great white shark products in trade. (Long, 2009; Norman, 2005)
Positive Impacts: food; body parts are source of valuable material; ecotourism; source of medicine or drug; produces fertilizer

Millions of people have thrilled to best-selling authors Bill O'Reilly and historian Martin Dugard's Killing Kennedy and Killing Lincoln, works of nonfiction that have changed the way we view history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor details the events leading up to the murder of the most influential man in history: Jesus of Nazareth. Nearly 2,000 years after this beloved and controversial young revolutionary was brutally killed by Roman soldiers, more than 2.2 billion human beings attempt to follow his teachings and believe he is God. Killing Jesus will take listeners inside Jesus' life, recounting the seismic political and historical events that made his death inevitable and changed the world forever.
© Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard (P)2013 Macmillan Audio
for 5 years has driven 180 miles round trip daily. That is a ton of listening time!
"Historic view of a familiar story"
Top rankings. Good pace, good voice, good story from a historic point of view.
I really enjoyed the point of view from using history and the bible as reference points.
I agree with other reviews.. don't read this as a book that will change your views on Jesus. Read this to learn more about his life from a history side of things.
"Interesting Listening Experience"
I truly enjoyed listening to the book. Bill O'Reilly has a distinctive speaking voice that is okay....but the story he told was brilliantly put together and I listened to this book in one day straight through beginning to end.
"The Jesus story in context"
If you are searching for a different take on the Jesus story... You won't find it here. (While NOT a religious book, the book follows the gospels.) Where it excels, is placing the events in historical and cultural context. By freeing the main character (Jesus) from the restraints of strictly gospel and putting him amid the political chaos, cultures, and religious traditions of the time; the story of Jesus simultaneously become more complex and yet amazingly simple. Most Christians are aware of the life and death of Jesus. Most are NOT aware of the politics and religious traditions of the day that led to the series of events chronicled in the gospels.A book aimed at the history buff more than the religious zealot.
Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy
Why: We know how it ends.
It was more about how all the characters work together to form the context of the death of Jesus that is most compelling.
Don't get the book to be inspired to believe nor to find some amazing nugget of faith. Get the book to better understand historical context; Jewish law, tradition, and historical politics; and how those things worked together to ensure the sacrifice.
"Another home run from O'Reilly"
I don't care for O'Reilly on TV. Too much interrupting. As an author and narrator, he's great. As with his other "Killing" books (Kennedy and Lincoln), the author was able to put me in the action. Great book and a solid performance.
"Finally it all makes sense!"
Yes -- you have to listen to it over and over because there's so much information that's hard to grasp in one listen.
It made me think a lot about it.
Gave me a sense of the history of the time. It was extremely interesting and gave me a much better view of what really happened in that day.
"Entertaining but also O'Reilly's interpretations"
It's not all history. O'Reilly makes several of his interpretations on the meaning written in the Bible in this book. One in particular that I didn't like was on Jesus's conversation in John 3. I think it's an entertaining, well written book, just with some of Bill's interpretations of meaning within the Bible. I'd still recommend listing to it if you're interested in Jesus.
"Somewhat interesting book"
This book is a somewhat interesting tale of Jesus's death. I much prefer the account as told in the Bible. The history of the Roman empire and Caesar was moderately interesting. I did not like Bill O'Reilly's voice reading me scripture or the reading of the book for that matter. His voice is quite irritating. I would not recommend this book.
It was short. It was more of a history of Roman rulers than a story of Jesus
The same in that I wish he had someone other than Bill narrate. Like a pro narrator
Can't recall
It was more of a history of Roman rulers than a story of Jesus
"Good Book, Regrettable Narration"
As a believing Christian, I honor Mr. O'Reilly's effort to ignore outside influences that might want him to either affirm or discount the gospel accounts. He set out to provide historical context and detail for a popular audience, and he succeeded. As familiar as I am with the gospel stories and many outside sources, I learned new things and the book held my interest throughout.
That said, I was disappointed in the author's narration of the audiobook. His reading is pleasant enough, although it's the same Bill O'Reilly one hears on TV, not a narrator with acting skills. What disappointed me was the carelessness with which he recorded it, mispronouncing things at numerous points. Surely a book with this level of popularity deserves the time to do retakes for a quality product.
Thank you for the content, Mr. O'Reilly, but please re-record the bad spots and reissue the audio version.
Recent graduate New York Institute of Photography. Love SciFi and mystery.
"Well researched"
I will listen to this book many times. For extreme fundamentalists, there may be some issues, none of which are significant. Mostly because the put the historical evidence in line with what the bible states. Also, most Christians feel the Jesus started his public life at 30, but this references starts his public life at 33. It also puts many of the events into some contect. For everyone else, this is an amazing historical reference to align the biblical life of Jesus on earth with the historical evidence available. In many respects it reminds me of Og Mandino's "The Christ Commission." On the other hand, having a historical alignment makes understanding the times and the events even more prolific.
I'd suggest The Christ Commission by Og Mandino (regretfully not availablel here). Mr. Og was a pen pal of mine before his passing. We first communicated when I just wanted to thank him for my favorite book (The Greatest Miracle In The World). When I read The Christ Commission, it gave me a great understanding of the faith of those that followed Christ in the times immediately following his time physically here. I have strove to do the same ever since.
Perhaps the inflections of the author, also a historian and public figure.
"Read Killing History too"
Didn't seem that historical, so I read Killing History too. Shows how unhistorical this "history" is

Now is the time to fund Hwy. 23
To the editor:
Expanding and maintaining key corridors in our state like Highway 23 is essential in moving our local communities and state in the right direction, and we cannot afford to ignore our commitment to these important corridors.
People and businesses in Southwestern Minnesota have been waiting decades for completion of Highway 23 to four lanes. The challenge faced by Highway 23 and others is that the costs for necessary improvements outweigh the available funding. Fortunately, we have options, but we have to act now.
With less than two weeks left in this year's legislative session, now is the time to pass a balanced and comprehensive transportation plan.
Minnesotans cannot afford to wait as projects like this continue to be delayed, resulting in declining conditions and increased costs for the future. Each year that a project is delayed adds about 10 percent to the final cost of the project.
Taxpayers can't afford the additional costs, and drivers can't afford the congestion and increasingly unsafe conditions any longer.
Without action by the Legislature to increase transportation revenue, Highway 23 will remain a daily frustration and hindrance to business growth and economic development in our area.

text: There is this question from someone I know: do you get itching instantly, when you eat sugar, or maybe something else? This woman, however the allergist said she was not allergic to any food. It seems that certain foods she eats instantly give her like a prickling itchy feeling, like something biting her. Could this be parasites as she has checked for all the normal lice, crabs, or scabies and it is not any of those. It is not consistent even with the same foods on the same day, only certain times of the day, but she cannot put her finger on it, it is not the same foods. Could it be from something other than food? This is weird situation for her. Read more..

obviously more recently westerners are becoming more aware of the potential health benefits of green tea. thus making it more available in markets other than the asian market.
however even though this is true, a very small oercentage of green tea is consumed outside the asian market. what is it that westerners arent relating to, is it the flavours?, the packaging? the health benefits are consistently being pointed out, what is it that makes it less popular than black tea ?

Stokesia are immense disk-like flowers on 12 - 18" stems. The stiff stems and long-lasting blooms make for excellent cut flowers that are easy to arrange. Will attract hordes of butterflies. Needs some winter protection for northern gardens. Will bloom from summer until first frost, and is evergreen in the south.
Well-drained soil is necessary for this plant. Very adaptable to moist or dry conditions, but no standing water. Can be divided every 4 - 6 years in spring. Deadhead individual spent flowers and stems to encourage additional bloom. Cut stalks to base when flowering has ceased.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Rebecca Hart wins 2012 USEF Para Equestrian Dressage National Championship
Gladstone, N.J. – Rebecca Hart of Unionville, Pa., captured her fifth United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Para-Equestrian Dressage National Championship on June 13. Hart, aboard Lord Ludger, owned by Jessica Ransehousen of Blue Hill Farm, inched out 2011 National Champion Jonathan Wentz of Richardson, Texas, with their Freestyle performance on Wednesday.
Athletes from the high performance Para-Equestrian discipline presented their top mounts at the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation headquarters in Gladstone, N.J., June 10-13, 2012. It was befitting to be at one of the most historical locations in equestrian history for the 2012 USEF Para-Equestrian Dressage National Championships and 2012 USEF Paralympic Selection Trials. With the nominated entries waiting to be named for the 2012 Paralympic Games, four athletes prevailed topping the field of twenty-three horse and rider combinations.
The 2012 USEF Paralympic Selection Trials and Para-Equestrian Dressage National Championships was a week of environmental changes including high temperatures one day, a downpour the second day, and a breezy but exceptional weather pattern on the final day. Para-Dressage athletes Hart, Wentz, Donna Ponessa (New Windsor, N.Y.), and Dale Dedrick (Ann Arbor, Mich.) kept the competition interesting posting scores only thousandths of a percentage point different at times.
During the three days of competition FEI Ground Jury members, Carlos Lopes (5*) POR, Anne Prain (5*) FRA, and Marc Urban (5*) BEL evaluated each duo on their interpretation of their respective tests. These critiques were valuable since selected equestrians will see these judges again when they are selected for London. Lopes and Prain are members of the ground jury and Marc Urban is the Assistant Technical Delegate for the Paralympics.
In the final hour, Rebecca Hart's spectacular Freestyle aboard Lord Ludger impressed the judges giving her three scores of 74.0%, 74.750%, and a 79%. "I have never had a 7 and a 9 in the same score before," Hart expressed. "I am delighted and honored to have achieved this score."
She continued, "LoLu and I have had quite the year together. I got him about a year ago and he had a little bit of a reputation. Professional able-bodied riders had always ridden him and when Missy (Ransehousen) asked if I could try him, I said O.K. I put the big girl panties on and got on that horse. There was a little bit of a learning curve at first but over this year he has become my horse which is a really special feeling. He is such a character and I enjoy him as a horse and as a partner out there in the ring. I feel like he is finally looking to me for answers and he is right there backing me up."
Rebecca earned the Championship in the Selection Trials and was declared the top rider at the Paralympic Selection Trials. Since the nominated horse and rider combinations will not be named until the middle of July, the riders are still on the edge of their seats awaiting that list.
Hart replied, "It feels good to be at this point and it is definitely a little weight off the shoulders but I am going to hold off my excitement until I am actually trotting down centerline in London. I will believe it then."
Earning the Reserve Championship 2012 Para-Equestrian Dressage National Championship accolade was Jonathan Wentz aboard NTEC Richter Scale, owned by Kai Handt of North Texas Equestrian Center.
Wentz held the crown for the 2011 National Championship and passed it back to Rebecca Hart who earned it in 2010. Wentz rode NTEC Richter Scale to top the Grade Ib division and earn the second place finish in his grade with Silvano, owned by Dr. Michele Miles.
Wentz noted, "It feels great to be at this point with both Richter and Silvano. Richter has carried me so far and I could have never imagined this three years ago when Kai got him. He has really stepped up to the plate as an 18-year-old and he has delivered what we asked of him. We considered WEG (World Equestrian Games 2010) was going to be his last outing but he got better and better each year. We will have toured through two world championships if we head to London and that is a lot to ask of a horse his age."
Wentz continued, "Even with London coming up we still want to be prepare for the future. Normandy is lurking on the horizon and it takes time to build a bond with a horse. After only riding Silvano for three months he put in a good consistent ride this weekend and is a great horse. He will be a great back-up for London. I am excited for the future."
Rebecca replied, "After London we will be gearing up for Normandy. I have also made it a quiet goal of mine but I would love to push my able-bodied career further and make it to the Grand Prix. My old guy Pippin, who I retired at WEG, is making a comeback so we will see. I have ridden up to Prix St. George and I would like to go even further."
Mimicking Hart and Wentz, Donna Ponessa was thrilled about her performance at the Selection Trials/ National Championship with horses Western Rose and PG Ganda. "I don't think it has sunk in yet," smiled Ponessa. I don't want to take anything for granted. I believe I can take a sigh of relief when those names are announced."
During the Freestyle competition, Donna picked up the intensity and added the trot gait to her test. Donna explained, "We added the trot because Rosie has a really round, floaty trot, is super easy to sit, and it keeps her from getting bored. The freestyle is supposed to be fun and inventive."
"Western Rose is a nine-year-old American-Bred Oldenburg, continued Ponessa. "She has done third level with Wes Dunham, my trainer, and we didn't think she would be the horse for me. At the time we were preparing for the Selection Trials I had been riding my horse Otto. Otto, owned by Sue and Kevin Niblo, is the horse that Sydney Collier rode this week and he was a wonderful horse for me earlier this year. However, Wes and I knew we needed a horse with a better walk for Selection Trials. When he asked if I wanted to ride Rosie, I obliged. Of all the horses that we tried we did not expect her to be that horse. She has so much untapped potential, she has that wow factor, and she has a great walk. Wes has graciously allowed me to ride her and put his training on hold so she could get in tune with me. I like to toy with the idea of taking her to Normandy, that would be amazing.""
Donna Ponessa also achieved the top Grade Ia rider of the week with Western Rose in first and PG Ganda, owned by Vinceremos Thereapeutic Riding Center, in second.
Dale Dedrick and Bonifatius earned the fourth place finish in the 2012 USEF Para-Equestrian Dressage National Championship standings and was the second place finisher in Grade II.
Dedrick commented, "I was thrilled with my horse during the Trials and National Championships. Erik stepped up to the plate when he didn't necessarily want to and did everything I asked. Even after six days of competition and Erik didn't really want to to go down that path one more time to the ring, he still was willing to get in the ring for me. I loved showing at Gladstone, That sounds really cool in horsey conversations to tell people ' When I showed at Gladstone…" I hate to get too excited before the London team is actually announced."
Four years ago, Carol Grant and Dedrick took a look at Bonifatius who was sitting in a field in Wisconsin. His potbelly and "U" neck made Dedrick tell Carol that he looked like a goat. Carol's good eye for horses saw that he had a great leg and he had a lot of potential. Grant was correct in her prediction with Dedrick competing all over the United States with the Bonifatius and earning multiple accolades in the dressage ring. Dedrick has been working with trainer Rosalind Kinstler on developing Erik into a technical genius in the dressage ring.
Grade II rider Elizabeth Pigott and One Night Stand, owned by Regina Cristo, earned a 70.5% in their Freestyle Test on the last day of competition. Pigott noted, "Both of my horses were great this week. Willy always has a little bit of show nerves but he has come so far this year, I was proud of him. Regina Cristo has been wonderful and so supportive in allowing me to borrow her horse. During the first two days of competition the judges kept commenting they wanted to see the horse more active. I got him more active, and he said, 'Yes Mam!' He is a great horse to ride and very responsive. Since he was not in Pennsylvania when I began working with him, his trainer Melissa Suits worked with me at her farm. She has been riding One Night Stand for years and her insight was invaluable in preparing for this week."
Topping the Grade III division was Wendy Fryke, Baker, CO aboard her stallion Lateran. Fryke and Mary Jordan, Wells, ME, performed a hat trick on their horses with Fryke earning the win for her division and Jordan capturing Grade IV with Sebastian. Jordan has had a banner year with Sebastian, owned by Deecie Denison, representing the United States Team on multiple occasions in 2011-2012. Jordan followed in second in the Grade IV division aboard her mare P. Sparrow Socks. Both riders will be looking forward to the announcement of the nominated horse and rider combinations.
The 2012 United States Equestrian Paralympic Team nominated horse and rider combinations will be named in the middle of July. Chef d'Equipe Missy Ransehousen will join the named athletes when the riders enter a boot camp before London. The Paralympic Equestrian events take place in London, England at Greenwich Park August 30-September 4, 2012.

Posted on 07/15/2013 7:58:03 PM PDT by Nachum
CORPUS CHRISTI State District Judge Tom Greenwell was found dead from a gunshot wound Monday night in his chambers, Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin confirmed.
Corpus Christi police, medics and Nueces County Sheriff's Office deputies responded about 7 p.m. to the courthouse after a report that a man was found with a gunshot wound to the head.The courthouse closed at 5 p.m.
It was unclear how a gun could have passed through security or been within the county building, equipped with security personnel and a metal detector. Attorneys, judges, and some media outlets who have courthouse identification badges typically aren't required to pass through the security checkpoint.

Ummmm, a security person did it? Check their bank accounts for a sudden spike in funds. Maybe they did it for Trayvon.
This kind of thing is becoming a pattern, is it not?
Lord God, rest the soul of Thy servant and comfort his family. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Bump for in the AM.
Was he anti abortion by any chance?
Greenwell was first elected District Judge of the 319th District Court in Nueces County in 2002, becoming the first Republican ever to win a county-wide judicial race in Nueces County. Greenwell was overwhelmingly re-elected to the Court in 2006, and was elected to his third term, without opposition, in 2010.
Judge Greenwell is a 1981 honors graduate of the University of Texas School of Law. Greenwell received his Bachelor of Arts degree, with a double major in journalism and political science, from the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. in 1978. He served as a staff attorney on the 13th Court of Appeals beginning in 1981 and was chief of the Courts legal staff from 1991 to 1996. Greenwell was in private practice from 1997 until his election to the District Court bench in 2002.
Judge Greenwell served two years as the Presiding Administrative District Judge of Nueces County. In addition to presiding over the 319th District Court, Greenwell currently presides over Nueces Countys newly created Veterans Court.
So what's Eric Holder going to do, now that it's a judge?
"And that's pretty much why I worked so hard to get Zimmerman convicted. They paid me a visit, and I made the smart choice."
I would presume suicide.
There was a judge and his court reporter killed in Atlanta about 5 years ago. They were shot in the court room.
Mental detectors beat metal detectors every time.
Well I hope the mobsters that run the Dem party were more subtle than to shoot him in the back of the head and throw the gun like they did back in the Clinton days.
"becoming the first Republican ever to win a county-wide judicial race in Nueces County"
Ohh, I wonder what Holder has planned now. ;)
That would be my guess. Maybe he was close to being indicted for corruption.
Was he married?
He was recently involved in a disbarment proceeding of a lawyer. Maybe the other guy took revenge.
Could have been self-inflicted.
For him to win in Nueces County he had to get a lot of Hispanic votes. That's good.
He's the first Republican Judge in forever or maybe never. Read the article, people are checked for weapons when they come in except for those who work there, such as attorneys and judges. Attorneys and judges can concealed carry. That is a big time Democrat county. I'd check attorney weapons for use.
I suppose it could be a suicide as there isn't any kind of report about what happened.
Definitely. The three shots in the back of the head are a "dead" giveaway, pardon the pun :).
He also was responsible for a controversial child custody award. Judge Thomas Greenwell awarded custody of a 3 month old breast feeding infant child to a man who was not adjudicated as the childs parent. The case was not even assigned to judge Greewell but was assigned to judge Marisela Saldana who was present and in court the day of the hearing. Nueces County practices walk through defaults whereby attorneys walk to a judge and have them sign orders. These hearings are held without notice to the other party which was what happened in this case. This man walked into court with attorney Gregory Spivy and said the baby is his and the judge said ok and awarded him joint managing conservator.
Why would anyone take a gun, go to work, and commit suicide there? Why would his office be better than just any place outdoors?
If the suicide was a sudden decision, the victim couldn't have a gun handy - the courthouse does not allow guns; and though it's possible for a judge to sneak one in, there is no real need to do so. Judges have armed guards already.
If the suicide was a planned decision, why go to work, write papers whole day, and only then end it all? Who can even do such a thing, and why to do the work at all? If the work was that important, there will be more tomorrow anyway.
A judge dying in his office most likely means that he was simply there when he was killed. He couldn't be easily killed anywhere else. A sniper could, of course, take a position 500 yards away from the judge's house and kill him on the way home. This means that the killer was not a sniper, and he had no rifle, and he was not going to bother with establishing a [vulnerable] position. Getting to the judge in his office is certainly the most straightforward method. The complexities of getting a silenced gun, and of getting it through the detector, are purely technical, and can be managed. For example, take an overhead projector on a stand, or a computer, or a light fixture, and wheel it in through the detectors. It will beep since it's full of metal - but who is going to take it apart to look for an extra pound of steel that isn't supposed to be there? Who is going to remember that fact if the gun was prepositioned a week ahead of the murder?
Hidalgo County had a similar bad run of DA's and prominent lawyers in recent years. Hope it isn't just traveling north.
*Texas Ping*
Wasn't it a court judge who shot and killed a Texas DA and his wife not long ago?
My thoughts, too.
The article says judges are allowed concealed carry into the courthouse—though that doesn't mean it's suicide.
Why would anyone take a gun, go to work, and commit suicide there?
It's a good question, but maybe because it isn't at home... the people there would be "equipped" to handle it...being law enforcement. And they would be quite sensitive in notifying family?
Year, a JP who was convicted of thievery killed the prosecutors after he was convicted in Kaufman County.
It was at the end of the day so maybe the court security closes down at the end of the day too.
On the other hand, if someone murdered him, why wouldn't someplace outdoors be way better than a courthouse with security and cameras and all?
Unless the murderer is someone courthouse security trusts. Courthouse closes at 5:00. Waste the judge at 5:30. Casually leave. Drop the weapon in the trash miles away, securely wrapped in a McDonald's bag. Shut up.
It was an attorney who killed a judge and the judge's wife.
Was the judge married?
Judges dying is usually a political message from SOMEBODY.
Left alone, judges seem to live to 90 or so.
The Chicago mob is a lot more subtle. Think how sophisticated the Capone mob has become as it evolved over the last seven decades.
Untouchable. And now they have a former bag man in the mayor's office, and a contingent of black associate dupes running the White House.
Absolutely untouchable. There are people laughing their freaking asses off at their unbelievable good fortune.
And America is swirling down the toilet, a nation in steep decline.
St.Peter was heard saying this evening: "Here come da Judge!"
Thanks for posting. That was what I thought immediately, and I think it's great that you are trying to stop paranoid rumors.
Judge Found Dead in Nueces County Courthouse Office from Apparent Suicide.
Posted: Jul 15, 2013 7:05 PM
Updated: Jul 15, 2013 10:02 PM
CORPUS CHRISTI -Crime scene investigators are on the scene at the Nueces County Courthouse after a cleaning crew finds a man dead from a gunshot wound on the 8th floor inside Judge Tom Greenwell's office.
Law enforcement sources confirm that the body inside the room is that of Judge Tom Greenwell, who appears to have died from a gunshot wound to the head in an apparent suicide.
The courthouse was already closed for the day when the discovery was made.
We'll have more information as it becomes available.
Hope he wasn't a Judge Gary Little.
This is very sad! Many of my local political friends are rather distraught by tonight's news.

Newspapers rewarding business
February 18, 2012
Someone recently said, "Hey, wouldn't it be fun if you would write a column telling about some of your exciting newspaper experiences?" And I said, "Gee, what a great idea!" You well know that conversation never took place but you also know what's coming.
Actually, the column idea springs from a recent story in the Las Cruces Sun-News telling about how squadrons of cops surrounded the home of suspected kidnappers and bull horned it for six hours, warning the occupants to give themselves up before it was too late. Turned out no one was home.
The bad guys were eventually caught and I would like to point out here the Las Cruces police did a fine job — just in case they see me driving through town in my black Cadillac SUV, license ECC490.
(Snitch Alert! He drives a yellow Ford Fiesta and is lying about the plate number!)
The story took me back 45 years to Fontana where I landed my first reporting job in that southern California town. The San Bernardino County sheriff at the time was a real publicity hound who every so often would stage a midnight drug raid. His gimmick was to invite eager reporters to the squad room, give his "be safe out there" pep talk to the deputies, and send us on our way.
It was high adventure for a young kid learning the news business. The particular incident chiseled in memory had to do with arriving at a modest home about one in the morning. I can't remember the address, but say it was 414 Maple St. Cops surrounded the place, one repeatedly banging on the door. No response.
Then the bull horning commenced. Stuff like "We know you are in there!" "Come out now and no one will get hurt!" Finally, the door slowly opened and a timid and horribly frightened elderly couple edged onto the front porch.
It did not take the sheriff deputies long to realize grandma and grandpa's only brush with the law involved double parking outside the Baptist church. Wrong address. We were supposed to be at 414 Oak St., a block away.
Fontana was the birthplace of the Hells Angels, which gives you a little insight into the town's character. It was where we came to know Roger Lee Williams, a local guy who was head of security procedures for a chain of California banks, the Fontana branch located just across the parking lot from The Herald-News.
Roger was peeved with his wife so one day he disappeared with more than $500,000 of bank money, fleeing town not only with the cash but his daughters, ages 4 and 5. The police blotter I reviewed the next morning said "FBI at Security Bank – REQUEST NO PUBLICITY!" That's roughly akin to putting meat in front of a ravenous dog.
After his eventual capture nine months later, I came to know Roger as a soft-spoken, modest fellow. But he led the FBI on a merry chase, taking his daughters on an extended vacation through Canada and along the eastern seaboard.
Our managing editor, a gruff old Hearst reporter, spent entire days on the phone trying to track down Roger. It was instructive watching him work. And so nice of him to assign me the school board and city council while he had all the fun.
Roger achieved legendary status when he decided to return the girls to mom. Having been on the lam four months, he snuck back into town on Halloween eve, rented a motel room, called a babysitting service, turned the kids over to the babysitter and gave her specific instructions to trick or treat his home at a precise time. Can you imagine her reaction when the little girls flipped up their masks and said, "Hi Mommy!"?
Our modern day Willie Sutton was finally nabbed playing blackjack in Reno the following March when a vacationing Fontana Denny's waitress ratted him out for the $5,000 reward.
My reward? Newspapering. It's been fun. Still is.

Topic: select many field is only writing one result to table
I am running in to a problem with a select field that will allow multiple selections, but will only write the first selection to the table if multiple options are selected. For example if 'AL', 'AK', and 'AZ are all selected, only 'AL' is being written to the table.
in my view the code is:
<%= select 'applicanth', 'dlstates', ['AL', 'AK', 'AZ', 'AR', ..., 'NA'], { :include_blank => :true }, "multiple" => true %>
in my controller the code is:
def create
@applicanth = Applicanth.find(session[:id])
@applicanth.dtelstupd = Date.today
params[:applicantoffenseds].each_value do |applicantoffensed|
@applicanth.applicantoffenseds.build(applicantoffensed) unless applicantoffensed.values.all?(&:blank?)
if @applicanth.update_attributes(params[:applicanth])
redirect_to :controller => 'applicationonline5', :action => 'new'
render :action => 'new'
And the in the model the code is:
class Applicanth < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :applicantcontactds
has_many :applicantreferencesds
has_many :applicantpositionds
has_many :applicanteducationds
has_many :applicantoffenseds
has_many :applicantreferralds
has_one :applicantproffesionald
has_one :applicantpolicyd
has_one :applicantemploymentd
has_one :applicantaad
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you for your help!

Company behind misleading mailings to quit doing business in NC
Company behind misleading mailings to quit doing business in NC
Release date: 5/17/2012
Corporate Services, Inc. to return checks to 700 NC businesses, pay $30,000 to state
: A California company that sent questionable letters to hundreds of North Carolina businesses in violation of an earlier agreement is now permanently out of business in the state, Attorney General Roy Cooper and Secretary of State Elaine Marshall announced today.
"Trying to trick small business owners and violating legal agreements aren't the way to do business in North Carolina," Cooper said. "We're pleased that we've kept hundreds of businesses from losing money to this scheme, and put a stop to this activity in North Carolina for good."
"This is a case where we gave a company the chance to stop misleading North Carolina employers and businesses, and they blew it," N.C. Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall said. "The bottom line is that we are not going to allow anyone to send out advertising that tries to pass itself off as official government correspondence when it is not."
In 2009, Cooper and Marshall filed suit against Corporate Services, Inc. and owner Selwyn J. Monarch for misleading North Carolina businesses into thinking they had failed to comply with state laws on taking and filing corporate minutes. The letters gave the appearance of coming from a government agency and directed businesses to pay $125 and provide information on their corporate minutes by a certain date. The state won a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the defendants.
March, 2011
, Corporate Services entered into a settlement with Cooper and Marshall that barred it from sending misleading mailings and paid $25,000 to the state. But later that spring, Corporate Services sent another mailing out to hundreds of businesses across North Carolina, a mailing the state alleges violated the settlement agreement.
The company initially claimed that the latest mailings were sent by mistake, but has now agreed to return checks worth approximately $90,000 to some 700 North Carolina businesses that responded to the mailing. Under an
signed this week with the Attorney General's and Secretary of State's offices, Corporate Services will also stop doing business in North Carolina and pay $30,000 to the state.
Cooper encourages businesses or consumers that get questionable letters demanding unusual fees contact the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina or file a consumer complaint at
In its mailings, Corporate Services referenced laws in Chapter 55 of the North Carolina General Statutes which are enforced by the North Carolina Secretary of State. The Secretary of State's Office does not issue letters like the ones sent by Corporate Services, nor does the agency collect fees from corporations for failing to keep or file corporate minutes. Anyone wishing to check on the status of their corporation, limited liability company, or other business entity can go to
or call the Corporations Division at 919-807-2225.

Thanks for the reply Tranman! Much appreciated..Well ive been reading and reading these forums and i had a feeling the longer fermentation time seemed to be the norm. Like you said, ive seen lots of recipes on the net which talk about using a 'packet' of yeast and these seem to be done and ready to put in the oven in a few hours tops. Whats the difference in results between these types of quick methods and the longer refrigerator fermentation methods? Im so impressed with the pictures ive seen on this site i think ill be doing myself a disservice if i opt for a rushed 'instant' approach. im starting to think i may just have to plan my pizza eating a lttle further in advance so i have a dough ball in the fridge ready to go when its time to eat!thanks again!
are there recipes that allow only a couple of hours fermentation or am i kidding myself and if i want the real-deal should i be fermenting overnight?
Wow Peter that list is awesome.

With its vast swamps, mountainous regions, innumerable rivers, hot savannahs and hilly coastline, Sierra Leone is certainly worth a visit. Sierra Leone, much of whose border is on the Atlantic, is situated between Guinea and Liberia. It has a population of about 5 million and is a beautiful country with a pleasant climate.
Freetown still shows signs of its history as a point of return for liberated slaves. The capital of Sierra Leone therefore has much to appeal to those interested in history.

As winter approaches and snow starts to fall, you might be pulling your boots and heavy socks out of storage to protect your feet from the elements - but what about your dog? Cold isn't usually an issue for dogs' paws, but salt and chemicals used to melt snow and ice on sidewalks can be brutal on the pads of the paws.
You can prevent dog injuries on your own turf by using sand instead of chemical deicers on your sidewalk and driveway, but you might still encounter these substances if you walk around the neighborhood or city with your canine companion. Fortunately, there are several ways to protect your pet's paws all winter long.
Cover them up
Dog booties may seem like a fashion statement, but they are actually designed to keep your pets' paws safe, dry and free of chemicals. Whether you buy booties or make your own, they can be beneficial in preventing dog wounds from sharp ice or items hidden under the snow and ice.
If your canine does not like wearing booties, there are several balms you can use to seal up the surface of the pads, creating a protective barrier so chemicals cannot damage this skin. Try to reapply this product before each walk for the best results.
Give a little extra care
Another way to keep your pet's paws in tip-top shape is to pay a little more attention to them during the winter. After walks, it may help to soak your dog's feet in a dish of warm water to remove chemicals and salt. This can be an effective way of treating pain in dogs, especially if your pooch has open cuts or sores that may have been exposed to salt or chemicals during a walk.
Soaking your pet's paws is especially important if your dog has been licking his pads after a walk. Chemical deicers and other substances on winter streets can be toxic to canines and cause dog vomiting or diarrhea.

Aaron Walker came to Piedmont Technical College to carry on a family tradition. Walker is from the small town of Bradley where his father is a cabinetmaker.
"My dad has worked at cabinetry since he was my age, so I've always been exposed to that type of work and I was really interested," said Walker.
After getting his start at Piedmont Technical College, Jode Robinson is on his way to becoming a nuclear engineer.
Robinson spent many years as a cable TV supervisor, and knew that he was ready for a change.
"I had a lot of people telling me I needed to go back to school to be an engineer," Robinson said. "That became one of the driving forces for me to go back to school."
Rex Reece has found that starting at Piedmont Tech can put you on the track to achieving your goals.
The Hodges native graduated from Greenwood High School in 2005 and decided to take a year off. When he was ready to enroll in college, he turned to Piedmont Technical College.
"I needed to work," Reece said. "Piedmont Tech was close by and the night classes that were offered were very important to me."

Fall Semester Store Hours:
Monday 4-6
Wednesday 1-2:30
Thursday 4-6
Did you upgrade to a suite and now you need some extra furniture? Don't like those overhead lights in your room and want something with a softer glow? Need to pick up some hangers, binders, mugs or other odds and ends for your new room?
Before you head to any other store...check out the Barn Good Thrift Store, located between 5 and 7 University Avenue.
In 2005 several students teamed up with the Conservation Council and Facilities Operations to create a Reuse Program. A group of hard working, environmentally aware students were responsible for the creation of the original "SLU Reuse Initiative" a program developed to prevent usable items from ending up in the dumpsters when students move out of their dorms at the end of the year.
While the Reuse Initiative started as a spring collection and single large fall sale, with storage of items in a trailer during the summer, interest has grown and the program has expanded. The Initiative became so popular that it moved from its ephemeral home in first one and then two tractor trailers to the basement of one of the dorms.
In previous years remaining items were donated to local charities however starting in 2008 the Reuse Initiative transitioned into a year round student run campus thrift store, the ReCellar. Three students find jobs each semester collecting, cleaning, sorting and selling gently used and working items of furniture, small appliances, electronics, clothing, school supplies, amazing costumes for all your party needs and many other miscellaneous items that would otherwise have been sent to the landfill.
With an even greater increase in popularity, all those great gently used items collected when students move out can be found in the Barn between the Java Theme Cottage and the English Department Offices. This move was made in the Spring and Summer of 2010 with the support of grant money and the kind staff of SLU's Facilities Operations Department. With a fresh coat of paint, the installation of an energy efficient washing machine and the reconstruction of shelves from the old location the 'barn' is bigger and better than the 'basement'. Among the gently used goodies you'll find a new mural on the wall, a piano waiting to be played and the occasional free hot beverage.
Most items are sold for less than a dollar and even the highly coveted furniture and large electronics sell for less than twenty dollars. All funds from the sale go toward helping the program continue by paying employee salaries, advertising costs and other operating expenses. Hopes for the future include making the upstairs of the barn a usable store space, fixing bikes in the barn during off hours and becoming an all-around 'eco-barn' including drying rack, room compost bucket and semester-long bicycle rentals.
What can you do to help the Barn Good Thrift Store thrive and promote sustainability initiatives at St. Lawrence? Donate your gently used but unwanted items all year long (faculty and staff we'll take your items too as long as a college student is likely to use them) and come SHOP! Remember to look for donation boxes in dorms during move out each spring and to contact volunteers to move larger items from your room to the Thrift Store.
E-mail for more information on donation details, employment, fall sale and spring collection. Check SLUWire for hours.
The Green House (Low Impact Living Theme Cottage) seeks to create a comfortable living space for ecologically-minded and environmentally-conscious individuals on campus. We strive to be a leader in environmental activism at St. Lawrence.

This year I'd like to start a thread with your predictions for 2009. Then at the end of the year we can review these predictions and see if we have any resident psychos, I mean psychics here. The person or persons who come the closest to predicting something that actually came true, will win the coveted MACCA-Central "I Told You So" award. There is no actual award but you get the right to say, "I Told You So".
Sounds like a possible song title eh?

ready, set, go
I call it a Boy Scout upside down pizza. The "tin can" inside was brushed with oil and then sprinkled with Parmesan. I then filled it with Asadero cheese, salami, diced poblano and mushrooms with tomato sauce on each layer. Topped, or bottomed with another layer of cheese and tomato sauce. Draped a skin over the can and trimmed the dough at the bottom, er, I mean the top. Baked in my funky toaster oven until golden brown. Flipped it over and the can was twisted off. Listo!Don
I really like this idea the combinations are endless. are you using the regular pizza dough for this or is there a special dough that you use? very creative and I think I'd like to try this one. Thanks for the pictures along with the post.
This is going to take some imagination.
Tonight was cacciatore chicken with Asedaro cheese in a 7" pan.
Don,Your upside down cacciatore chicken with Asedaro cheese pizza looks delicious! What kind of formula and flour combination are you using for your crust? It looks good.Norma
Don your pies are looking amazing!
Thanks Seles, That means alot to me. Sometimes it feels like I'm walking down a lonely road in these monthly challenges.Don

In his letter to the Hebrews, Paul explained that faith is not merely believing that God exists, but is trusting in Him to guide us and care for us, no matter what our earthly senses tell us about our circumstances or the situations we face. To live with that deep level of trust is to live by faith.
In the following pages, you'll meet people whose faith has been tested and refined by life's blessings and by life's tragedies, and others whose faith shapes not only their own lives, but also the lives of everyone with whom they come into contact. What all have in common is their trust in God to guide and care for them, and their commitment to living by that faith.

I have a background in cosmetics (makeup and skin care) and have tried almost everything on the market. I'm really concerned about all the "junk" that enters the body through the skin and have the last few years changed everything I use from commercial brands to products that are good for me, not only looks good. I've had problems with finding a good concealer though. I've always ended up using YSL Touche Eclat. Not even really good mineral brands had a good enough concealer. I'm stunned by this one! Never ever thought that a concealer to this price could replace the YSL. But this is amazing! This color blends perfectly into my skin and skintone and it doesn't show and cover what is supposed to be covered but still makes the skin look radiant. I even use it under my eyes. A good concealer brush is a must for this and I use the one Ecotools has. I will never change concealer again. A friend of mine tried it and loved it so much that she bought one too. I highly recommended this product!!
Very good

Excellent for under eye circles! Not very good at covering blemishes or dark spots in medium to dark skin tones (too light). Very light weight. Could be use as highlight!

It made my dark circles disappear! Perfect for any problems on the skin!

It's very good on the redness on the sides of my nose, but it does NOT work under my eyes.
It makes a difference.

I bought that as a dupe for 'Bare Minerals Well Rested" and I was really sceptical about it. I thought it wouldn't do a thing to my undereye area. After 2-3 times that I used it the wrong way, I found the best way to use it right and it makes a difference. It adds brightness and makes the undereye area more even in texture. I really reccomend it. It's cheap and efficient!
great concealer, no so multi-tasking tho
Posted by 4745444789879202343 on Nov 12, 2012
perfect shade (im super fair) covers like crazy and stays faithful all day long. best on pimples and imperfections, not as good for under eye circles
minerals for the skin
Posted by 5086023777523329823 on Jul 25, 2012
gives my skin great tone, conceals all the unperfections and doesn't give me any artificial looks that other concealers do.
the color is not for light skin tones
Posted by VictoriaN on Jul 03, 2012
I was expecting much better results for this concealer. Despite they say it's for fair and light skin - it is too dark for me! and i have light skin, normal tone. I can't evaluate its concealing properties , becoz it doesnt match my skin tone, but i guess it is moderate.
The only concealer I'll ever buy!
Posted by Reviewer2667902 on May 31, 2013
At first I wasn't sure about ordering this, as I have always used touch stick type concealer for my dark under eye circles. However I liked the natural ingredients and the lack of chemical preservatives, so I ordered it. And I am sooo happy I did because this works! It blends well, matches my skin tone nicely (I have fair skin) and lasts all day with out fading or disappearing! It even hides blemishes well. Far superior to the products I was using, it is now an essential part of my make up and I'll never go back. I highly recommend this!
Like the color!

Sorry to hear this one didn't turn out so swell Norma...you sure do have that spiral thing down pat though!
Wow that looks awful. LolIt looks good to me.To be truthful ever since I joined the forum all5 pizzas I have made have been badI think I am trying to hard to be perfect 1 -2 inches thick2- toppings bad3-to yeasty4- sauce to powerful5- perfect tortilla And burned a frozen store boughtBut going to keep trying My daughter is my best critic her reply is always -( doesn't taste like schools)Pizza is fun Thanks Marvin
Norma,I am quite certain that the dough formulation I gave you at Reply 42 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25251.msg255411.html#msg255411 is correct based on the information you provided. I realized at the time that the hydration would be on the low side but I recalled that Big Dave Ostrander used a similar hydration value in different ones of his versions of the "Old Faithful" doughs. In fact, if you look at the Old Faithful dough at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,660.msg5976.html#msg5976 and also the one at Reply 10 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,660.msg9605.html#msg9605, you will see that the combined weighs/percents of the water and oil are about the same as the Rinaldi's dough formulation I gave you. In Big Dave's case, he was also using high-gluten flour, which should have resulted in an even thicker dough than if he had used a weaker flour. One area where the Old Faithful doughs differ from the Rinaldi dough (apart from using less salt and adding a bit of sugar) is that the Old Faithful skins are thicker than the Rinaldi skins (a thickness factor of about 0.11 compared with 0.0893 for the Rinaldi skins).Since the Rinaldi pizza maker uses volume measurements for the water, I suppose that it is possible that the actual amount of water could be more, or possibly adjustments to the hydration are made in the mixer bowl. Can you tell us how much IDY you used? Peter
Thanks Norma My mistakes where human eer ?Like forgot yeast ,to much yeast ,andJust trying new thingsNot going to leave dough out to rise ,didn't like that at allAnd sauces are not all alike(less may be better)Thanks Marvin
Beauty full Norma...
I've only been to this place once but the tomato pie was great. Hand tossed thin crust done in the brick oven. They'll do 2 topping styles on 1 pie. Roasted beet pizza, yum!You go Norma!

Sorry about my earlier post, was having some brain farts yesterday. Here's the website http://salvatorestomatopies.com/current-menu/They'll do a pie that's half Fat Uncle Tony and half Med if that's what you like. Not the best place for date night, a 16" pie is a lot for 2 people.
I went to Salvatore's for my birthday, and it was AWESOME.One thing about tomato pies...just like pizza, there are many varieties!My in-laws are from Utica, NY, and they are VERY serious about their tomato pies. They have seen Salvatore's (which looks very much like yours, Norma) and we have all agreed that it is not "tomato pie". I will post the recipe that I found and made (to their approval) later today or tomorrow.
Here is one that I made awhile ago, and here is the recipe and where I found it:3 1/2 Cups flour(I never need this much) 1 Cup warm water 2 Tablespoons Yeast(1 package of Fleischman's Active dry yeast) 2 Tablespoons Honey 1/4 Cup Olive Oil(Extra Virgin light) 1/2 Teaspoon Salt Mix warm water(85 degrees to 115 degrees,should be warm to touch but not hot)with Honey and Salt.Add Yeast and mix. Let sit 5mins.Add 1 cup Flour and Olive oil until well blended.Add flour slowly until it forms a ball. Knead for a couple of min.( I usually knead until smooth,you know feels like velvet) Place in warm area in a covered(with a wet warm cloth) bowl till double in size. Punch down and let rise again until double in size. Grease cookie sheet or baking sheet with Olive oil and stretch dough until it is 12x12" form crust and let rise for 45 min. Spread sauce on and bake at 450 degrees 15 min.or until brown. Tomato Pie Recipe 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic 1 28-to-32-oz. can crushed tomatoes 1 tsp. dried oregano salt and pepper to taste 1 lb. pizza dough 3 tbsp. grated Pecorino Romano cheese Preheat oven to 450°F. Stretch the pizza dough to cover a greased cookie sheet. Dough should be fairly thick (about 3/4 inch). Allow the dough to rise a bit while the sauce is cooking. Heat a saucepan on medium, add the olive oil and garlic, and sauté until the garlic is just golden. Add crushed tomatoes and oregano. Cook until the sauce is thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Cool the sauce to room temperature. Top the pizza dough with the sauce and then bake in 450°F oven for about 15-20 minutes. After removing the pie from the oven, sprinkle with the cheese. Let the pie cool to room temperature before eating. Recipe by Frank DuRoss Jr. for an easier way use Don Pepino pizza sauce on a pizza shell, top with grated cheese bake, cool and serve at room temperature.that's how De Iorios bakery in Utica does it. http://www.deiorios.com/http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/tomato-pie-m319381.aspxSorry if this is de-railing your thread, I just wanted to pipe in

I hope everyone is staying safe while Sandy's in town visiting. I've read of varying numbers of R-H residents who have lost power since yesterday and even as I write this I can hear the hum of a generator in the neighborhood.
I know how easily we can all get stressed about storms and the damage they inflict, easier still how focused we can become of the personal toll it's taken on property. What I'd like to ask everyone to do is to keep an eye on your neighbors, especially the elderly, and what help they may need. Please make sure they have power, heat and plenty of food.
If you've lost power, suffered damage to your home or need a safe place to stay, the Red Cross is providing shelter at the Dome on the fair grounds.
Stay safe!

Believe it or not, the massive machine in the picture above was actually a cannon, the Vergeltungswaffe 3, designed by the Nazis. The super gun was built directly into a hill and designed to shoot artillery shells across the English Channel, blasting from France directly into London. While it was able to fire shells up to 58 miles, the whole thing was a failure—which is precisely why you've probably never heard of the Vergeltungswaffe 3.
If you think that's interesting, you won't want to miss io9's great roundup of 11 impressive-looking weapons from WWII that most people never knew existed—such as explosive dead rats and 11,000 pound jumbo tanks.

Blaze ravages firm
Massive clouds of black smoke filled the sky Monday afternoon along Route 60 near Webster Road in Fredonia as two buildings belonging to Hills Trucking caught fire and eventually burned to the ground.
Fire departments from the surrounding area battled the blaze, hampered in their efforts by a lack of immediately available water. Tanker trucks were busy refilling, emptying their loads, and then returning for more water.
A Webster Road hydrant was eventually put into service with a lengthy stretch of hose running across Route 60 to the fire scene. A series of small explosions were heard coming from the buildings as the blaze intensified. During one of the explosions, a smaller metal tank was propelled to an area adjacent to where some fire trucks and firefighters were set up.
Traffic on Route 60 was redirected, with vehicles in lengthy lines several times. The New York State Department of Transportation issued a road closure alert at 2:15 p.m., stating that all Route 60 lanes would be closed between Straight and Webster roads for up to six hours due to the structure fire. That closure was lifted at 7:50 p.m.
Fredonia Fire Department Chief Derek Jordan was in charge at the scene and described what happened.
"We responded to a report of a tractor-trailer fire, the tractor-trailer being inside a building at Hills Trucking," Jordan began. "When we got on the scene the building was fully engulfed. We had the fire under control in about two hours. Between the vehicle tires and gases that were inside the buildings the heat was tremendous. My initial report was about 200 tires. I think it was more about 150 tires I was told were stored inside the building along with acetylene gases, propane tanks and oils."
Jordan said hazmat was called.
"There was unknown chemicals inside one of the structures. We wanted to just bring hazmat up as a precaution," he explained.
Jordan was asked if providing adequate water to the scene was a problem.
"It was a good amount of the problem at first, just getting all the tankers and everybody here situated. It was a problem at first but it wasn't a big problem," he replied. "The buildings were both pretty much fully engulfed when we got here. It was pretty much exterior fighting only and doing the best we can with the water supply we had. We were drawing water from numerous sources around.
Jordan was contacted just before 8 p.m. and said excavation work and putting out hotspots was all that was left for firefighters to do as fire investigators did their work. He added there were no injuries at the scene.
Departments seen at the fire included the city of Dunkirk, East and West Town of Dunkirk, Fredonia, Sheridan, Sunset Bay, Hanover, Cassadaga, Stockton and Chautauqua County Emergency Services.
According to its website, Hills Trucking is owned and operated by Norman Hills and has been in the area since 1965. The company's address is listed as 9667 Route 60 in Fredonia.

Princeton: Use Coal, LNG, Non-Food Crop Biofuel Blends as Corn Ethanol Replacement
Jason Mick
December 6, 2012 5:41 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Princeton says energy-dense slew of renewable and fossil resources could solve the nation's fuel shortages
Princeton University
is injecting itself into the
corn ethanol debate
, suggesting that the U.S. is moving in a very mistaken direction. In a new study
as a whitepaper in the
AIChE Journal
, the team suggests that 130 synthetic fuel plants built across the country could replace "dirty" corn ethanol, cut fuel shortages, and cut carbon emissions by a whopping 50 percent.
I. Synthetic Fuel -- a Corn Ethanol Killer?
The proposed synthetic fuel would be a blend of liquefied coal, liquid natural gas, and
non-food crop biofuels
. While that doesn't sound much like crude oil, the researchers say the synthetic fuel blend would actually be much closer chemically to traditional gas than corn ethanol, reducing the likelihood of ECU incompatibility in older vehicles leading to engine damage.
The downside is sticker shock; the team, led by
Christodoulos Floudas
, a professor of
chemical and biological engineering
at Princeton, suggests that the total cost of the plan might be $1.1T USD. Thus the team suggests a slow rollout of synthetic fuels over the next 30 to 40 years.
Prof. Floudas [center], along with graduate student Josephine Elia and Richard Baliban, who received his Ph.D. from Princeton in 2012. [Image Source: Frank Wojciechowski]
Professor Floudas remarks, "The goal is to produce sufficient fuel and also to cut CO2 emissions, or the equivalent, by 50 percent. The question was not only can it be done, but also can it be done in an economically attractive way. The answer is affirmative in both cases."
His team estimates that as the price of crude oil continues to creep up in upcoming decades, and as process improvements continue in producing synthetic fuels, that the alternative fuel slew will be cost competitive.
Chemical engineering graduate student Richard Baliban, a lead author on past papers for the team who graduated in 2012, remarks, "Even including the capital costs, synthetic fuels can still be profitable. As long as crude oil is between $60 and $100 per barrel, these processes are competitive depending on the feedstock."
II. 1920s German High-Temperature Method Repurposed
The basis of the Princeton plan is to use a method dubbed the "Fischer-Tropsch process". The technique was developed in the 1920s in Germany to turn coal into liquid fuel; it uses heat to liquefy the solid fossil fuel into a liquid resource.
Complex chemical reactions catalyzed by inexpensive catalysts (nickel or iron) are employed at temperatures of around 1,000 to 1,300 deg. C to convert the solid fossil fuel into a liquid slew of hydrocarbon chains, plus useful leftovers, like waxes.
An example Fischer-Tropsch reactor [Image Source: BioPact/Syntroleum]
The team added a new twist to the process, reinjecting the waste carbon dioxide, fueling more hydrocarbon formation, and cutting emissions. Heavy metal and sulfur -- typical pollutants in crude oil -- are eliminated during the synthetic fuel production process, making for a cleaner burn.
The team estimates that currently the price of synthetic fuel would be around $83.58 USD in Kansas, one key state targeted for future production.
Prof. Floudas suggest the alternative fuel is the perfect trick for switching the U.S. of volatile, expensive foreign oil sources, commenting, "His is an opportunity to create a new economy. The amount of petroleum the U.S. imports is very high. What is the price of that? What other resources to do we have? And what can we do about it?"
