Trail Stability - Page 3
Healthy individuals should focus on training the small stabilizing muscles of the spine to add strength and rigidity while still allowing fluid movement and flexibility. Abandon the traditional weightlifting approach of heavy weight and low repetitions, because the stabilizers are postural muscles and designed to provide support over an extended period. Since these muscles are composed mainly of slow-twitch fibers, endurance, not gross strength, is the goal. Neurological facilitation—exercising the pathways between the brain and muscles—is a key factor and is different from most basic strengthening programs. Longer contractions are emphasized to improve endurance.
The basic transverses-abdominus (TA) contraction is the foundation of a successful core-training program. The first step involves understanding the "neutral-spine" position. To find this position, start by lying on your back with your knees bent. Then flatten your back so that your spine pushes into the floor to its maximum degree. Next, arch your back the opposite direction as far as possible. Repeat this process several times until you have a good feel for the range of motion in your back. Finally, arch your back again as far as you comfortably can, and then release the tension or movement by about 15 percent. This should leave a gentle inward curve of your lower back and a space between your low back and the floor. This is your neutral spine position; it should feel comfortable. If you feel strain, release the tension slightly more. This position should be maintained throughout the exercise.
Now you are ready to perform the TA isometric exercise, which consists of a gentle contraction of the deep abdominal stabilizing muscle fibers while maintaining a stable back position. Maintain a comfortable breathing pattern without flattening your low back to the floor.
First draw a deep breath, then slowly exhale until it is nearly maximally released. Now, draw your belly button in toward your spine (visualize drawing your abdominal contents inward) while maintaining a neutral spine and steady breathing rate. Hold this contraction for five to 10 seconds. One way to ensure you are doing the exercise correctly is to place your fingers near the front of your pelvis just inside of the bony protuberances. Sink your fingers deeply into your abdominals and feel for a tensing of those muscles.
Once you have the hang of it, practice the TA contraction during various activities and in multiple positions, e.g. sitting, standing and walking.
When you have mastered the TA contraction, utilize it while performing traditional core exercises, such as crunches, sit-ups and squats. A solid foundation ensures that the small stabilizing muscles will be engaged during these exercises. In addition, exercise-ball exercises can be executed more effectively while decreasing the likelihood of injury.
Core Intervals
A great way to incorporate the exercise into your running is by doing core "intervals" on your easy run days. Begin with a 10- to 15-minute warm-up. Stop to perform the TA contraction in a relaxed standing position to ensure correct form. Then, perform three to five 30-second running intervals holding the isometric TA contraction. Maintain a relaxed form. The exercise should provide stability but not rigidity to your form. Repeat this workout weekly.

This pie map contains a pie chart for each state and the nation. The pie slices reflect acres of land in various land cover/use categories that have been converted to developed land. Developed land includes urban areas and rural transportation land. The "Other" category includes other rural land, Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land, water areas, and Federal land. The size of the pies is proportional to the amount of land that has been converted in that state, scaled between Vermont with 37,300 acres and Texas with 679,200 acres.
Cautions for this Product:
The national pie is not proportional to the state pies.

Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD
NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: State
Other Layers Displayed:
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP):
A Federal program established under the Food Security Act of 1985 to assist private landowners to convert highly erodible cropland to vegetative cover for 10 years. [NMCSP]
A Land cover/use category that includes areas used for the production of adapted crops for harvest. Two subcategories of cropland are recognized: cultivated and noncultivated. Cultivated cropland comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown crops. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent hayland and horticultural cropland. [NRI-97]
Federal land:
A land ownership class designating land that is owned by the Federal Government. It does not include, for example, trust lands administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs nor Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) land. No data are collected for any year that land is in this ownership. [NRI-97]
Forest land:
A Land Cover/Use that is at least 10 percent stocked by single stemmed forest trees of any size which will be at least 4 meters (13 feet) tall at maturity. When viewed vertically, canopy cover is 25 percent or greater. Also included are areas bearing evidence of natural regeneration of tree cover (cutover forest or abandoned farmland) and not currently developed for nonforest use. For classification as forest land, an area must be at least one acre and 100 feet wide. [NRI-97]
Land cover/use:
A term that includes categories of land cover and categories of land use. Land cover is the vegetation or other kind of material that covers the land surface. Land use is the purpose of human activity on the land; it is usually but not always related to the land cover. The NRI uses the term (land cover/use) to identify the categories that account for all the surface area in the United States [BS-1982; NRI-97]
Other rural land:
A Land cover/use category that includes farmsteads and other farm structures, field windbreaks, barren land, and marshland. [Revised 1992 NRI Summary Report, omitting CRP land.]
Pastureland and Native Pasture:
A Land Cover/Use category of land managed primarily for the production of introduced or native forage plants for livestock grazing. Pastureland may consist of a single species in a pure stand, a grass mixture or a grass-legume mixture. Management usually consists of cultural treatments-fertilization, weed control, reseeding, or renovation and control of grazing. (For the NRI, includes land that has a vegetative cover of grasses, legumes, and/or forbs, regardless of whether or not it is being grazed by livestock.) [NRI-97]
A Land cover/use category on which the climax or potential plant cover is composed principally of native grasses, grasslike plants, forbs or shrubs suitable for grazing and browsing, and introduced forage species that are managed like rangeland. This would include areas where introduced hardy and persistent grasses, such as crested wheatgrass, are planted and such practices as deferred grazing, burning, chaining, and rotational grazing are used, with little or no chemicals or fertilizer being applied. Grasslands, savannas, many wetlands, some deserts, and tundra are considered to be rangeland. Certain communities of low forbs and shrubs, such as mesquite, chaparral, mountain shrub, and pinyon-juniper, are also included as rangeland. [NRI-97]
Rural transportation land:
A Land Cover/Use category which consists of all highways, roads, railroads and associated rights- of-way outside urban and built-up areas; including private roads to farmsteads or ranch headquarters, logging roads, and other private roads, except field lanes. [NRI-97]
Urban and built-up areas:
A Land Cover/Use category consisting of residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional land; construction sites; public administrative sites; railroad yards; cemeteries; airports; golf courses; sanitary landfills; sewage treatment plants; water control structures and spillways; other land used for such purposes; small parks (less than 10 acres) within urban and built-up areas; and highways, railroads, and other transportation facilities if they are surrounded by urban areas. Also included are tracts of less than 10 acres that do not meet the above definition but are completely surrounded by Urban and Built-up land. Two size categories are recognized in the NRI: (i) areas 0.25 to 10 acres, and (ii) areas greater than 10 acres. [NRI-97]
Water body:
A type of (permanent open) water area which includes ponds, lakes, reservoirs, bays or gulfs, and estuaries. There are 3 size categories: (1) less than 2 acres; (ii) 2-40 acres; and (iii) at least 40 acres. [NRI-97]

At the UW School of Law we believe the best way to educate future lawyers and leaders is to provide them with a strong foundation in legal theory, and the opportunity to experience the law first-hand. We also believe that the law is a calling in the spirit of public service, and that professional responsibility is a quality that can be learned
best through experience and dialogue. For these reasons, the School of Law provides a variety of opportunities for students to serve the broader community. In fact, we require
every student to perform a minimum of 60 hours of public service to graduate.
Students have a myriad of opportunities to apply what they have learned through our externships and in our clinical program. The public service requirement is fulfilled
by completing an externship of 2 or more credits, or by participating in the
clinical program.
Each year, our clinical law program enables more than 100
students to work with real clients on real cases. In close
collaboration with faculty and practicing attorneys, students
provide free legal representation or mediation services to low-income
or indigent clients. Clinic students gain confidence, valuable
insight, and hands-on experience, all while providing free legal
services to underserved populations.
To encourage our students to make a lifetime commitment to public service lies at the heart of the UW School of Law's mission. Find out more about Public Service at the law school.

Stewie, the Guinness Book of World Records' longest domesticated cat—just over 4 feet long—was recently diagnosed with lymphosarcoma cancer. His owner, Robin Hendrickson, discovered a malignant tumor behind his right eye on Christmas day, according to Reno's local news site, RGJ.com. She took Stewie to a veterinarian right away, and he is scheduled to receive a series of radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
VCA Animal Hospitals reports the clinical signs of lymphoid tumors are variable as lymphosarcoma can effect almost any body system in cats. Common signs include swollen lymph nodes, although any lump or mass anywhere on the body should be checked out. Pet owners should be sure to have their sick cats examined as soon as possible as lymphosarcoma can be located in any internal organ and cause a variety of cat illnesses.
The news source reports that lymphosarcoma is one of the more common forms of feline cancer, accounting for about one-third of all reported cases. Treatments for this cancer can vary depending on the severity, size and location of the tumors. VCA states that this may include radiotherapy, surgical removal of the lump, medications or other methods.
Because each situation is unique, a veterinarian will be able to advise you on the best course of action to take for your pet.

Training tips to improve behavior in dogs of any age
Most people know that puppies need guidance and training to curb unwanted behavior and learn important commands. Unfortunately, many dog owners overlook the fact that older dogs may need training, too, especially if behavioral issues develop later in life.
�It is never too late to take training steps to improve your dog�s behavior�no matter what their age,� says Nicole Belmore, a dog trainer and owner of the Northern Wisconsin Canine Center in Eagle River, Wis. Achieving good behavior from a canine companion requires dedicated effort. Follow these tips to increase your chances of sharing your home with a happy, well-behaved dog.
Teach (or re-teach) basic commands. Every dog needs to have a basic vocabulary of important commands and phrases, but sometimes dogs fail to respond appropriately. �In my 25 years of experience, the No. 1 complaint among owners with older dogs is, �My dog does not come when called,�� says Belmore, who feels that teaching the come command should be a top priority when training any dog. �It�s a simple command that can save a dog�s life,� she says.
Provide a routine. Dogs thrive in a structured environment and benefit from a daily routine. �When dogs have structure and owners become the leader of the home, these two key components can significantly improve a dog�s behavior,� Belmore says. She suggests that dogs be trained to do a simple behavior before being fed. �Request a simple sit, down, or giving a paw, and then the dog gets to eat. This speaks volumes of leadership and structure to your dog,� she says.
Play with your dog. Dogs are no exception to the adage, �All work and no play, makes Jacks a dull boy.� While your position of leadership is important, it�s also vital that you take the time to playfully interact with your dog daily. �Playing with your dog instills a relationship between the two of you,� says Belmore. �And this relationship is the foundation to a better-behaved dog!�
Know when to get help. It�s not always easy to help a dog through a difficult behavioral issue. If at-home training efforts don�t seem to be effective, don�t hesitate to get help. �Most dog trainers are happy to give simple advice over the phone,� Belmore says. �If they have a facility, stop in and ask questions. Dog owners should never feel like they are alone in their journey with their dogs.�

quote bluexyYou sound like a nerd. Throw out the script please. There were a few pieces of what you said that were incredibly awkward to hear. I also didn't like how you introduce the topic/video, and then stop talking, play some average-quality music and show some boring footage. It's an annoying break because we have the entire video to see the gameplay.Sawweet, I don't sound like trash.
quote N64This.It sounded like you were out of breath half the time. And if you added a little bit of emotion to your voice it would make the review much more believable. Its much better to have a reviewer who sounds like they care about the topic. I normally don't listen to reviews on games as they tend to be rather generic. Its much better to get info from a community that you know cares about the game. So if you add more of a personal tone but keep the content professional the video reviews could be much more successful.
I must say the review it self, on the other hand, was good and was similar to my thoughts on the game.
quote Shadow of Death^ This, I'm pretty cheap in games about spending points / money or etc unless it's to blow up more stuff >> BL2 is no exception, I do get the idea of presenting perfection so to speak though. It's a bit awkward just throwing a character I haven't used that much in even co-op to the world at large, future videos will be watched for that or I'll make a spare save if anything just for production vs personal.I make a habit of saving up my money in RPGs, using mediocre equipment for extended periods of time so I can afford getting a huge upgrade

Written by Roy Alan Firestone
Earl died last evening after a heart atack while on the Orioles Fantasy Cruise.
I first met Earl Weaver 43 years ago when I got a job as a clubhouse boy for the Baltimore Orioles. I remember his first words to me.
"Kid, make sure I don't run out of my cartons of Raleigh's(cigarettes) and don't F..thingsup around here".
I don't think we ever ran out of Raleigh's.
I'm not sure about the other part. Earl Weaver always hated the word genius. He hated pomposity and certainly didn't appear to be a sentimental type (more about that later). He tried not to get close to his players.
He was simply the most profane man I ever met. He had to be the most prolific smoker and drinker I've ever known too. He was ejected for arguing with umpires at least 100 times in his career. He managed nearly 1500 winning ball games, won a World Series, six American league titles, four pennants, and had only one losing team in 17 seasons with the only major league organization he ever managed; the Orioles. He also hated losing more than he loved winning.
He battled umpires, (he was once ejected from a game in it's first first five minutes) and I was there next to him in an Orioles dugout,when he was ejected from a spring training game.
Really, Earl was not a lovable man. But when you knew him he was accessible as long as you knew what you were talking about. If you didn't, you would regret ever walking into his office. Earl hated phonies, know -it -alls, and yet he was not unwilling to talk philosophically about things in real life; reflection, inequity, even social matters like civil rights. I remember a very moving conversation (though he wouldn't call it that) I had with him once about the injustice towards black players in the 40's and how, if he were black, he would play with a chip on his shoulder.
Earl never played a single game in the major leagues, but he managed like he knew every nook and cranny of the game, because he did.He was one of the first to use computers to strategize. He didn't seem like a numbers guy and yet, he took numbers over hunches every time. He could battled his players, Jim Palmer, Mike Flanagan, Rick Dempsey and dozens more. But he always stayed away from his favorites, Eddie Murray, Frank Robinson, who were like a sons to him, and of course, he never ever challenged Brooks Robinson. Brooks was the most beloved Oriole of all time, and when Earl had to take him out of the lineup in the final season in his career it was Earl who said "That man meant so much to us and to me, and to tell him that I couldn't go with him anymore was probably the saddest thing I've ever had to do in baseball"...then Earl broke down and cried.
In September, the Orioles had one final statue to unveil for all the Oriole hall of famers. It was for Brooks Robinson. In the pre-ceremony reception in the Oriole offices I sat with Earl and his wife Marianna and reminisced. I couldn't believe how lucid he was. He remembered his regrets (trading Frank Robinson a year too early). He remembered his joys (managing the 1970 champs), and yes, he remembered those cartons of Raleighs when I brought it up. 'When I had my first heart attack, I smoked all the way to the hospital in the ambulance",he said," if I was gonna die, I was gonna die with my cigarettes".
Earl Weaver finally did die at the age of 82, not ironically to me, on an Oriole cruise in his cabin on the Caribbean. He had quit smoking decades ago.
I have one more story to tell you about Earl. When Brooks Robinson was getting his statue unveiled at the Orioles Park last September, I sat virtually across from Earl. As Brooks was introduced to speak, I looked over at Earl. There, the little fiery general, the man who had little use for sentiment and intimate relationships with his players was Earl.... weeping. They say there's no crying in baseball. Surely Earl would have no use for tears in remembering him. Some will shed tears. I'll just remember that moment at the ceremony and remember how much he cared and how I'll never ever know anyone quite like him again. I'll miss you Earl

A survivor of the former Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia in the 1970s, Mr. Chhang now runs the Documentation Center of Cambodia, an NGO that has been working tirelessly to document the history of the Khmer Rouge era. During my visit to Cambodia from July 17-18, he gave me a tour of Tuol Sleng, the notorious S-21 security prison of the Khmer Rouge, where an estimated 15,000 people were brutally tortured before being taken to the killing fields outside Phnom Penh. It reminded me just how far the country has come since then, and I was inspired to see Cambodians dedication to rebuilding their country for the better.
We have an opportunity to build upon the 60 years of diplomatic relations that Cambodia and the United States celebrate this month. As Cambodia has made efforts to improve its democratic, economic and social development, our countries have developed a partnership that is stronger today than ever before. The purpose of my visit was to discuss with Cambodian government officials, civil society members, and others how we might expand our cooperation in areas such as health, education, food security, and combating human trafficking. In particular, we want to build on the U.S.-Lower Mekong Initiative that was launched a year ago by Secretary Clinton and the Foreign Ministers of Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. I appreciated the opportunity to meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen and reaffirm our commitment to Cambodia's development and prosperity.space At the same time, I stressed the importance of protecting human rights and supporting civil society for achieving those goals. Continued progress in such areas will be key to Cambodia assuming the greater role on the world stage that it seeks.
I saw how important that quest for transparency and justice is to the Cambodian people while visiting the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), better known as the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. Continued support by the United States, including $5 million provided in financial support this year, has been critical to the Tribunal's preparations for its biggest challenge yet: the trials next year of the four most senior surviving Khmer Rouge leaders.space Another stop at the National Counterterrorism Center showed how the United States is working with Cambodia to build its capacity to address terrorist threats. My visit also coincided with the launch of Angkor Sentinel, a peacekeeping training exercise involving more than 20 countries hosted by Cambodia -- highlighting the significant contributions that Cambodian peacekeepers are making to international security.space Another highlight of my trip was a ceremony at the National Museum to repatriate seven Khmer cultural antiquities that had been smuggled from Angkor Wat to the United States. Cooperation between U.S. and Cambodian law enforcement resulted in the rightful return of these national treasures, and demonstrated our commitment to helping Cambodia preserve its cultural heritage.
We have a broad agenda before us with much work to do. But we should be proud of our accomplishments to date, and I look forward to forward to building on that foundation in the years ahead to create an even stronger partnership with our Cambodian friends.

Wootton St Lawrence
The manor of Wootton, later called Manydown, was held by the prior and convent of St. Swithun at the time of the Domesday Survey, and remained in their possession until the Dissolution. The long association of the manor with the Wither family began as early as 1402; in 1649 the Dean and Chapter of Winchester sold the manor to William Wither, whose family had long been resident at Manydown. After the Restoration of the Monarchy the dean and Chapter decided to reclaim their rights to the manor, for which the Withers got no compensation despite seeking the intercession of King Charles II himself. Finally, in 1863 the Reverend Lovelace Bigg-Wither decided to purchase the reversion of the manor, but later sold it to the Bates family in 1873.
The extensive woods at Wootton were renowned in the late Middle Ages, and on more than one occasion in the fourteenth century members of the royal family held hunting parties there. Timber from the woods was used by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, when reconstructing the cathedral knave in the 1390s. In 1459 three huge oaks were sent to form the roof of what is now the upper floor of the Deanery in the Cathedral Close.
The Church of St. Lawrence was built in 1864, incorporating many original features of the earlier mediaeval building. The north arcade dates from the twelfth century and the tower and some of the windows are early fourteenth century. Charles Butler, philologist and author of "The Feminine Monarchie", was vicar of St Laurence's Church for 48 years until his death in 1647.
Further information on attractions to discover in the area and other interesting villages to visit is available. For information on public services for Wootton St Lawrence please take a look at the Basingstoke local pages.

Jackson Center To Host Birthday Event In Warren County
The Robert H. Jackson Center of Jamestown will honor Justice Robert H. Jackson's enduring legacy at an annual event honoring his birthday to be held on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m. at the Warren County Courthouse.
The event is free and open to the general public. Refreshments will be served at a meet and greet immediately following the presentation.
Born in Spring Creek, Pa., Robert H. Jackson will be commemorated in the county of his birth, Warren County, Pa. Jackson was a country lawyer from Chautauqua County who went on to be U.S. Solicitor General, Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice and U.S. chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg war trials. The continued relevance of Jackson's mark on history is very apparent in the impact Nuremberg had on the development of a modern international criminal court system and is the focus of the keynote lecture, "The Jackson Legacy: Prosecuting a Head of State," delivered by C. James Johnson.
Johnson, who was appointed to the position of president and chief executive officer of the Robert H. Jackson Center in 2012, formerly served as chief of prosecutions of the Special Court for Sierra Leone for more than 10 years. In that role, Johnson supervised trial and investigative teams which brought to justice persons who bore the greatest responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity and other serious violations of international law.
The program will discuss the legacy of prosecuting heads of state from Nuremberg to today, as Johnson gives his first-hand account of the trial of Charles Taylor, former Liberian president, focusing on both the legal and practical issues of the trial and conviction. Taylor was convicted on 11 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and other serious violations of international law and was sentenced to a 50-year prison term. Prior to the evening lecture, Johnson will address Warren area students during a special assembly at Warren High School.
During his military career, Johnson served for 20 years as a judge advocate in the United States Army. His tours of duty include serving as the legal adviser for the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies and as an assistant professor of International and Operational Law at the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's School. He also served as a prosecutor and international/operational law advisor to both conventional and special operations units.
Sponsors include Allegheny College, Blair Corporation, Interelectric Corporation, Russell Veterinary Hospital P.C., Whirley DrinkWorks, H. Robert Hampson, Attorney at Law, Dr. Peter and Charlene Hoffmann, and the Winans Agency Insurance.
The Robert H. Jackson Center's mission is to advance the legacy of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson through education and exhibits, and by pursuing the relevance of his ideas now and for future generations.
The center is located at 305 E. Fourth St., Jamestown. Tours are available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call the Robert H. Jackson Center at 483-6646.

Career Coach: Who to Hire, Who to Fire
Every Olympic athlete knows that choosing the right coach can determine the difference between going for gold and going home empty-handed. Now, many professionals, including a respected surgeon writing in The New Yorker, feel the same.
Alas, finding a canny career coach is only slightly less daunting than winning the gold. Career coaching is a magnet for mediocrities; those who can't do, coach. The wrong coach can hurt, not help so caveat emptor
The following slide show will introduce the dramatis personae of career coaches. Understanding the player profiles -- and their individual pros and cons -- will allow you to better choose a coach that will award your career with a winning edge.
Make sure to see the last page for my five questions you must ask any potential coach.

For me the ideal would incorporate a few things. First VPN would be thrown out the window. My personal opinion is that VPN is more of a minimum requirement then a goal. I would personally never market a product on the sole fact that I meet a minimum requirement. After that I would like to see REAL Neapolitan pizzerias educating their customers on their product. I don't care how they do, just so people know not only what to expect, but why. Serving the average american a sparsely topped wet floppy pizza with no warning is going to be a recipe for failure. Explaining that it is supposed to be that way and why it historically developed that way before the pie is in front of them takes the shock away and gives them a better chance to experience the pizza for what it is, not what it isn't. In that situation some will love it, some will hate it, and some will be indifferent. Like pretty much any product. In that situation the good will thrive, the poor will die, and the mediocre will scrape by, just like any product.
No more than 7 dollars. How they keep it at that price is beyond me....how they maintain the quality and do so is even more impressive.
I'm not suggesting anyone tell the customers "This is what it's supposed to be and you should like it like this". I'm suggesting explaining to the customers what will be on their plate and why it is that way before it get's to them. Take away the shock.Waitress: "Have you been here before?"Customer: "No."Waitress: " Let me tell you a bit about our pizza then. Our pizza is traditional Neapolitan Pizza. It's cooked hot and fast in a wood burning oven, and because of that it might be a bit different then you are used to even from other pizzerias advertising Neapolitan pizza. It's going to be very thin, soft, pliable, lightly topped and maybe a bit wetter then you are used to. Traditionally it's made this way on purpose for lots of reasons from being easy to fold for mobile eating to ease of digestibility. We make it that way because we think it tastes great, hopefully you do too."All of this is in the goal of hoping the pizza get's a fair chance. Put a 60 second pizza in front of somebody expecting a hot and ready and their mind will me made up before they ever taste it. I'm also not pulling this out of thin air. This is very similar to how I introduce people to Neapolitan pizza in my own home.
I wonder if a place like Da Michele would fly in the states. Just a few types pies well crafted and not overpriced....casual eats. In dollars, Da Michele is about half the price of any other "neapolitan" pizzeria here in the states.
Totale tried to make a go of it but didn't last.
Here's how they do it. I could sell a good margherita, using premium ingredients to other pizzerias, and still end up with a food cost well below the industry norm of 30-33%. Modern Neapolitan in USA goes for $12-14 because the market for Mellow Mushroom bears a similar price point. In fact, good NP, just as anything better than another thing, should cost more due to premium quality (AM takes this as far as it will go, but he does so in large markets with more potential customers). That market was established well before NP began to gain traction here. Not so in Naples. For that matter, you can't separate the proliferation of NP places from the fact that, even using relatively expensive ingredients, pizza realizes lowest COGS in industry. Most of new NP is driven by profit incentive, not passion. Isn't that obvious? Huh? The best pizza, bbq, pie, etc. I've ever had didn't have to tell me it was different. I just knew when I ate it; the fact that it was better than my previous "best I ever had" meant it was necessarily different. I would be skeptical of a server explaining to me the differentiating qualities of their pizza versus her presumption of what I was used to, which would be clear to me the moment I took a bite; as if she was apologizing in advance based on the whack assumption that I wouldn't like it. Well if that's your paradigm, don't sell pizza. That's dumb. Same way with BS, meaningless descriptors like luxury, custom, and with pizza--artisanal and gourmet. BS words meant to sell the idea of a thing rather than the thing itself. The product does all the talking. This place does just fine. http://www.800degreespizza.com/
I've read through your 6 posts(2 of which are directed to me) and your bio, and you seem to be all over the place which is making it hard to get a read on where you are coming from.You bio states your favorite style and "Napoletana" and your favorite pizzeria is Pepe's. I know Pepe's uses the term Napoletana in their name, but it bears little resemblance to Neapolitan pizza. You then state you have been selling Neapolitan pizza for three years, but in another board you ask very basic questions about pizza cooked in a 550F oven with bread flour. So, if the pizza you are selling is similar to Pepe's and cooked in a 550F oven, then your experiences are exactly what I would expect.Am I missing something?
Sure, you are missing quite a bit. Yes, my preference is for NP. FWIW, my favorite NP places are Keste and Paulie Gee's. A Mano was very good when I was there visiting RC in 2007 when he was anonymous. I liked Motorino, but my recollection of it was that its cornicione wasn't as light and delicate as I prefer, though the flavors were spot on. When I had UPN before he sold to MP, the pizza I had was very good, light and delicate irrespective of his much discussed method. I thought Bianco was damn good, especially the Wiseguy--though not NP as far as I'm concerned. Pizzicletta was very good, and a cool space. And yes, Pepe's is my favorite pizzeria--not my favorite pizza; 2 vastly different things that are not mutually exclusive. Why would you assume I cook in a 550 degree oven? Because of a 6 year old post? If you paid attention to my 6 post history, it should stand out that my first 3 posts were from 6 years ago. Did it occur to you that maybe my POV and frame of reference has changed during those 6 years, given my remarks? I could be wrong--that's the problem with text as a medium, but I sense you are sensitive to my comments. You made a speculative comment about what people who sell NP should do, so I thought my POV as someone who actually does sell NP--as close as I can replicate--to people was valid, maybe even desired. Despite your assertion that your thoughts aren't outta thin air, there is nothing similar about the social contract of feeding your friends at home and the business contract of selling food to people. I didn't disparage you, I simply stated my perspective, based on actually selling pizza to people. Your statement that 2 of my posts were "directed" at you, rather than seeing them as the "replies"--and part of a larger conversation--that they are, indicates that you feel I somehow challenged you. If I'm right, I would caution all on this board that such hyper sensitivity is the reason people lurk in these forums but don't engage. Why would you participate in a forum if you can't deal with someone expressing a different opinion than yours? Your assumptions and "am I missing something", along with educating me on FP's lack of real NP credentials smack of elitism, and are indicative of someone trying to protect their pizza-insider turf. Is my silly name dropping above enough to get me into the club, or do I just have to say "Manhattan Clam Chowder?" I simply disagree with your POV about having to educate people about NP, and I don't agree with the idea that you have to qualify it in order to get people to accept it. No one educated them about fake NP, or imitation NY style, or grilled pizza, or Detroit or St. Louis style, but people still determined on their own whether they like it or not. If someone makes good NP, people will respond to it positively--same for good NY style, or any other style/method/type of pizza. New stuff comes around all the time. Consumers are accustomed to this, they know how to handle it. No one educated people about the Beatles; they were previously anonymous, and novel. They just showed up and people apparently went ape %$#. I could easily be wrong about the sensitivity I perceive. I hope I am. Regardless, a simple "Hey man welcome to the forum, tell us about your experience" may be a better tact. If you want to be inclusive, that is.
Sure, you are missing quite a bit.
Oh yea, Sorry I went off the deep end. Ahh No I do not want any wait staff explaining my Pizza. Come to the oven and I will explain it to you.Where in the hell is my shot gun?
Like 6 years. Makes a lot more sense now. I really don't think what I'm saying is that far out there. Give a life long Bud light drinker an Belgian Sour Ale. Give somebody who drinks Boones Farm a bottle of dry red table wine. Give the typical american a Neapolitan pizza. I think all three lead to similar results. The new product is too far a deviation from their expected norm. The new product is therefore defective. I know it's the same with the people I associate with because I live it, lol. Show the typical middle class blue collar Detroiter a Neapolitan pizza and you will hear "It's too small", "it's too thin", "it's burnt", "where's the cheese" and my personal favorite "it's thin so it must be crispy". Show them the price of one and they will say "I can get 3 hot and ready's for that and eat for a week". Pizza is so ingrained in us there is a prototype that is expected. We expect a blanket of bubbling cheese over the entire surface. We expect a golden brown finish. We expect slices of some form that we can pick up and eat with our hands. Neapolitan pizza is none of these things. Going in blind a person may judge it for what it is and really enjoy it without any education. My point is many people don't go in blind. They go in AFTER having experienced non-neapolitan pizzas that are being called neapolitan....pizzas that are eaten in slices and aren't "burnt". Because it conforms to their prototype this is correct to them, and when they come across the real deal IT is defective because it does not conform AND it is not like the other "Neapolitan" pizza that does conform. This isn't purely speculation. I've watched it play out locally as I've already mentioned.
I don't think I've ever met anyone named so and so before. Is that a common name in Naples?

1 Billion Reasons to Still Own Facebook
Granted, the botched IPO didn't win Facebook many friends. But over the past six months, it is clear that Facebook has grown -- literally. In many respects, this is a new company. Following a solid fourth-quarter performance, it's time investors take on a new perspective of what this social network giant can yet become.
Facebook is transitioning itself from what it was, which was a PC-dependent platform. This means the company is in the midst of a pretty significant transition. With its user base having exceeded the one billion mark, there's more urgency for Facebook to reconfigure its approach. This quarter proved that it understands this. It's time for investors to start doing the same.
For the period ending in December, Facebook posted revenue of $1.59 billion representing 40% year-over-year growth and beating analysts' estimates of $1.52 billion. The company posted net income of $64 million, well ahead of estimates of $45.8 million. Likewise, the company beat EPS estimates by 2 cents, earning 17 cents per share.
Mobile revenue was impressive, growing to 23% of Facebook gross revenue. Too, mobile monthly active users rose to 680 million, which means Facebook has begun to shed the most popular bear argument -- that it can't monetize mobile. This is the second consecutive quarter of mobile growth.
Advertising revenue was up 41%, which was the same as in the third quarter, and fell slightly short of estimates. Likewise, ad pricing shed roughly 4%. Normally this would have been a bigger disappointment. But then again Google (GOOG) didn't exactly outperform in that area either as it reported a 6% drop in CPC or cost per click -- the metric that tracks how much companies pay for ads.
With a metric of $1.38, Facebook still lags behind Google's $9.16 in terms of average revenue per user. For that matter, Facebook is also behind Microsoft (MSFT) . But all that means is the company has plenty of room to grow from the $1.59 billion in revenue it just reported.
Some of Facebook's ad weakness can be attributed to declining demand in emerging markets. It is something that bears watching, particularly since it is the company's first reported decline. However, there were also some red flags in profitability. For instance, not only did gross margins eased a bit on a year-over-year basis, GAAP operating income declined 5%.
Granted, Facebook is still a young company and profitability issues are not considered material at this point -- I get that. But good cost management goes a long way. It's not as if Facebook started with a clean slate here. The company is still trying to restore respect and trust. There's no better way to earn "Street cred" than with solid books.

Well, the game was delayed due to lightning, and was played almost entirely in a driving rain -- and the end result was 0-0.
Considering the sloppy conditions, the play was actually decent.
There was a highly questionable non-call of a penalty in the 40th minute that could have granted Cleveland a goal. Other than that oversight, the referee was serviceable.
The entire match will be re-broadcast on STO @ 1:00pm Sunday.
The match will also be available on demand on the City Stars website later in the week.

Giving Thanks for Burlesque…
- by Aunt Johnny
Some Thanksgiving holiday this has turned out to be.
I spent the better part of the morning in the ER waiting room at Cedars-Sinai while Stanley Tucci got stitched up after an unfortunate freak accident in my kitchen. The poor dear. His little bald head never knew what hit it.
While technically, yes, it was me who threw the 20 pound frozen turkey at his head in a fit of rage – I maintain that the party at fault in this unfortunate situation is clearly Stanley. He should have known better than to bring up that beast's name in my house.
I hesitate to say this publicly – because I'm not one to air my dirty laundry for all to see…but I've been feuding with Cher since the early 90′s. I won't get into the reasons why – because that's between me and that spiteful slag.
But if I were to tell you, I would say it's because she is still mad at me for talking her into doing those 30-minute Lori Davis Hair product infomercials that she's hasn't been able to live down since. She's always bitching in interviews that it was the biggest mistake of her career. If you ask me, doing squat thrusts in a leather jacket and knee boots in Bally Total Fitness commercials in the 80′s was the bigger faux pas…so whatever. But like I said, it's a private matter. I simply cannot tell you about it. So please don't ask me.
In any event, the hateful shrew hasn't spoken to me since her first farewell tour…and that was like, 16 farewell tours ago. She hates me. And I don't know if you know this, but when Cher hates someone, she's kind of a vengeful bitch – and she takes pleasure in playing cruel and unusual tricks to remind the object of her loathing that she pure evil and will out-live us all…playing farewell tours millenniums from now when the world has long since ended and the only things left crawling the earth is her and her sold-out audience of cockroaches.
For example, I came home one evening to find that my pet goldfish, Grenadine St. James, had mysteriously died. This was a perfectly healthy 8-year-old goldfish that lived in a luxurious 2 inches of water and was occassionally fed (if I remembered, and had a box of Cheez-its lying around I could crush up and sprinkle in). Foul play was obviously involved – and Cher is just the kind of crazy noodle bowl of hatred that would do such a thing. I'm just saying.
I loved that fish.
So I do not tolerate THAT name being uttered in my home. It is a simple rule – and everyone who knows and loves me knows to abide.
When Stanley came over to help make toast for my famous Thanksgiving stuffing, he was filling me in on all the reviews for his new movie, Burlesque with THAT and Christina Aguilera – which premiered in theatres on Thanksgiving day.
He started in with how great it was to work with THAT…what a true legend she is…blah blah blah. And I don't know what came over me. One minute I was adding more chicken broth laced with barbiturates to the stuffing – the next I was seeing red and hurling a Butterball at his head as if I were practicing for a poultry Shot Put competition as the words "Cher is amazing" flowed effortlessly from his lips.
If you must know, I did happen to see an advanced screening of the movie – because despite my feud with Cher, I am actually quite fond of Christina Aguilera…and the two of us have become very good friends since we teamed up to beat Taylor Swift and Eminemin a Bunko match. P.S. – Eminem: sore loser.
Since it was my dear friend Xtina's film debut, I wanted to show my support by at least seeing it…and I'm glad I did because I loved it…even if my arch nemesis taunted me from the screen with her flawless make-up and spectacular hair pieces. Murdering bitch.
I loved that fish, damn it.
And then there's Stanley. My dear, bald headed, possibly neurologically damaged from a concussion friend Stanley. I love him in any role he plays. He's a pro, and can pull off a pair of nerdy school teacher glasses like no other. And he has clearly found his niche as the token gay BFF of the strong-willed female lead since his performance as Sean in Burlesque pretty much duplicated his performance as Nigel in Devil Wears Prada…right down to the playing with pretty women's clothing and witty zingers.
Overall, it's a movie I highly recommend – even if Cruella is in it… looks amazing and sounds even better. I would suggest seeing it for no other reason but to see what Christina looks like with a hair color actually found in nature.
When I got home, I found Betty White and Justin Bieber hunched over the kitchen bar sleeping. Betty was snoring, and Justin had a little stream of drool going down the side of his cheek and onto the granite counter.
They must have had the stuffing.
Damn that Betty! I have told her time and time again not to serve dinner sides to minors.
Love ya like a flying Butterball at Thanksgiving,
Aunt Johnny

Biography(Masterpieces of American Literature)
When she was three or four, Judith Ortiz Cofer, born in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, in 1952, began the routine that was to define her existence for a number of years. Because her father, J. M. Ortiz Lugo, was a career Navy man stationed on a ship from the Brooklyn Naval Yard in New York, Judith and her brother came with their mother, Fanny Morot Ortiz, to Paterson, New Jersey, where the family lived in "El Building," a vertical barrio.
