Although Intel Corp. has been attempting to enter the market of ultra-portable electronics with x86 microprocessor technology for some time now, it has not managed to gain any traction and today there are no smartphones or popular media tablets based on x86. But the world's largest maker of chips hopes that Windows 8 and its Medfield system-on-chip will help next year.
"To date, our presence in tablets has not been large. With Windows 8, you have monolithic operating system across PCs and tables that Intel can participate in and bring in the advantage of legacy support for applications and device drivers. In that dynamic, I think we have more upside than downside," said Paul Otellini, chief executive officer of Intel, during the company's quarterly conference call with financial analysts.
At present the market of media tablets is dominated by Apple's iPad-series and is trailed by Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Tab family along with a number of other products from companies like Asustek Computer, HTC and others. All of those tablets - whether they utilize Apple iOS or Google Android operating systems - are based on system-on-chips with ARM processor technology.
At the Computex Taipei 2011 trade-show, Intel demonstrated more than ten tablets from both own-brand manufacturers (Fujitsu, Lenovo, MSI, Toshiba, etc.) as well as contract makers of electronics (Clevo, Compal, ECS, Foxconn, Pegatron, Quanta, Wistron, etc.). All of the tablets are based on the company's Oak Trail platform (Lincroft SoC [which resembles Moorestown SoC, but supports Windows] and Whitney point I/O controller) featuring the Atom Z670-series microprocessors and utilize either Google Android 3.0 "Honeycomb", various MeeGo flavours as well as Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 7 operating system. Intel showcased a Medfield design running Google Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) for the first time at the show.
For a number of years Intel introduced various Atom-based system-on-chip devices that could be to used to power smartphones or media tablets. Unfortunately for Intel, the chips appeared to be too power-hungry for smartphones, tablets based on Windows 7 did not become popular, MeeGo operating system failed and support for Android was not properly implemented. As a result, there are no popular media tablets based on Atom SoCs at the moment and Intel has to wait for Windows 8 operating system and code-named Medfield SoC to arrive next year.
According to the chipmaker, Medfield has been optimized for both low power and high performance and is projected to deliver long use-time, rich media and gaming, and advanced imaging capabilities. The new Medfield/Cloverview SoCs, which will hit production later this year, will enable sub-9mm designs that weigh less than 1.5 pounds for tablet design. Intel expects actual devices running the new chip to emerge in the first half of 2012. It is unknown when exactly Microsoft launches Windows 8, which will support both desktops/notebooks and tablets.

There is an upside and a downside to using Gmail for business.
On the upside, Gmail turns out to be a rather cost-effective business email solution. It is far cheaper to use Gmail for business communications than to use a tailor-made email solution. Another advantage of using Gmail for business is in the fact that Gmail is a very robust email system. Google (the company behind the service) has invested millions of dollars in developing the service, and the end product is definitely remarkable in terms of robustness.
On the downside, there are people who feel that Gmail is an 'unsophisticated' business email communication solution. This, of course, is the case when people opt to use the ordinary Gmail addresses (the ones that end with a gmail.com suffix) for the business communications. But it is also worth noting that Gmail is designed in such a manner that it can be customized for a business' website domain name. In other words, people who intend to use Gmail for business communications don't have to get stuck with the default Gmail addresses, which come with a Gmail.com suffix, and which look unsophisticated. They can also make use of 'sophisticated-looking' email addresses based on their business websites (whilst at the same time tapping into Gmail's remarkable power).

ATI Technologies, a leading developer of graphics chips and multimedia processors, recently said it was going to use the same design verification tools from Cadence as its arch-rival NVIDIA Corp. has used to emulate the GeForce 6800-series products during development process.
Cadence Incisive Palladium acceleration and emulation system to verify some of its highly complex designs. The Palladium accelerator/emulator, a key technology of the Incisive functional verification platform, provides the speed and efficiency that is critical for verification of advanced integrated circuits (ICs) that require high-performance processing and memory.
NVIDIA, using the Cadence Incisive Palladium acceleration/emulation system, significantly reduced its verification time for NVIDIA's latest GeForce 6800 graphics processor, its most complex, highest-performance chip to date, Cadence said. NVIDIA reports that the verification time savings enabled by the Palladium system allowed it to meet the market window for its new product with increased confidence in hardware performance and software quality.
"We chose the Cadence Palladium accelerator/emulator because of its superior technology in our design space. The Palladium system provided the features we needed to meet stringent product delivery schedules and increased our ability to test our ASICs and application-level software. The Palladium system enhanced our testing productivity by providing fast compile time, efficient debug, high run-time performance, and excellent target interface solutions. The result was more highly tested silicon and system software," said Dave DiOrio, vice president, engineering.
It is unclear for which chips Markham, Ontario-based ATI Technologies plans to use the Incisive Palladium emulation system, or whether ATI has already used the tools for processors to be unveiled in short-term future.
ATI Technologies is expected to announce its new performance-mainstream RADEON X700 visual processing unit on

After reaching the 1500W milestone, PSU developers have taken a break. Whether it is because they cannot put more power into the dimensions of a regular computer power supply or because even their marketing departments have come to realize the uselessness of even higher wattages, but I can see only a few 1500W models and no models with higher wattage selling freely today.
Some time ago I tested Thermaltake's 1200 and 1500W units (based on the same platform) and was left disappointed. The low stability of their output voltages prevented me from getting the full specified output power from them. However, later on I tried a Corsair HX1000W, which was also based on a similar platform, and had much better results. So, I have a suspicion that these high-wattage PSUs were not quite good in the first batch but improved later.
Today I will be able to check my suspicions by testing two products: Xigmatek "No Rules Power" NRP-HC1501 and Thermaltake Toughpower 1500A-01 W0171. Both have a wattage rating of 1500W.

Chau, deep dish pizzas are round, as you know. That is a DS pizza. -Marc
Made a Sicillian Square tonight. I baked this on the steel plate without the stone. Loaded it at 650f and baked it for 13m. I little too long. I need to start checking it at 11m next time.
If you bake it in the Blackstone oven, you need to cover the top with aluminum foil for the first 75% of the bake. So 8min of the 12min. Uncover towards the end of the bake.
This thread seems like a great idea, here is my NY style attempt. I don't know why the cheese browned so much, it was my first time using GFS mozzarella and I was in the 700-750° range. Baked in 3 1/2 to 4 minutes, I think. If this is too many pics let me know and I'll post the extras in a new thread from now on.
I don't think you can post too many pics of such tasty pies? Were those cooked with the chauflector?Thanks,jb
I agree. Nice job redox.
Jcovey, first off nice leoparding. I love the look. Do you remember what time and temp of the bake was?I don't remember the specifics of the Verasano technique as it has been years since I've looked at it, so would you detail exactly what you did. It's easier to help if I have all the information. 1) It was difficult to stretch this wet of dough without making the center extremely thin. Any tips?Thinness in some spots could be caused by a couple of factors. One would be balling technique or balling late in the stages of fermentation, or doing a reball too close to bake time. The other major factor is gluten over development (IE over mixing + reballs). Basically what is going on is that the gluten strength is too strong and the doughballs were probably reballed or balled late. This causes an uneven gluten matrix. When you go to stretch it out, you have weak and strong spots which appear as the disk getts bigger. The further out you go, the thinner spots start to break. 2) Am I looking for a more chewy crust or more airy? Mine was definitely on the more chewy side. It was very good, but just wondering what the standard is. Maybe I overworked it while stretching it out. There seemed to be so little IDY, is 0.03% a reasonable amount?I beat your crust was chewy alright. And you didn't overwork the it while stretching, but rather overworked it during the mix and/or reballs. I love the look of big leopard spotted crusts like yours, but I've always only been able to get them with a dough using IDY, when I've overdeveloped the gluten strength or from a dough that has been sitting in the fridge 4-5 days. I've never been able to achieve a leoparded crust using IDY that was tender. I've seen it with crusts made with starters (Sourdough) but not with IDY. From seeing that your crust is relatively thick, the nicely leoparded rim, and your description of it being hard to stretch without getting the middle too thin, I'm thinking the dough was probably overmixed or balled really late (or reballed). As far as the yeast goes, I agree with Wahoo. You may have meant to use 0.3% I'm not sure. 0.3% can be used for a same day dough or you can refrigerate it 2-3 days out. Shriveling crust? Hmmm, sounds bad. Crust don't tend to shrivel after the bake. They can deflate a bit if your bake time is really short. Shriveling makes me think of the crust retracting, and it usually does that prior to loading not after the bake. Chau
That is a really nice little pie J.

Early Head Start
Program Description:
The La Madrugada Early Head Start (LMEHS) program under Family and Community Services Department's Division of Child and Family Development is an early intervention program for income elibible families with children birth to three years of age. This innovative program offers families home-based early childhood education; enriched center based early childhood education; parenting skills; comprehensive health and social services; counseling; employement assistance; comprehensive services/referrals; and other services needed to promote optimal child development and facilitate family self-sufficiency.
Although the overall poverty rate in the U.S. declined from 2005 to 2006 (U.S. Census, 2007), New Mexico's and Albuquerque's poverty rate (i.e., both 22%) (Current Population Survey, 2007) remain unchanged and continue to be higher than the U.S. poverty rate of 18% (U.S. Census Bureau, 2008). A high poverty rate in Albuquerque combined with other factors place Albuquerque families and their children at risk for poor outcomes and in need of Early Head Start.
In Fiscal Year 2009 (period ending June 30), the City of Albuquerque LMEHS program served 330 children, 24 pregnant teens, and 18 families with special needs.

Noel Clay is a Press Officer and works in the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. He is temporarily posted to the Embassy and will return to Washington, DC after his assignment where he will continue his Press Officer responsibilities in the Bureau of Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.Iraq: On the Ground -- Noel's September 26 Dipnote posting
First of all, I'd like to say hello to all my relatives and friends, among others, who found me on the State Department's DIPNOTE site and took the time to say hello. Out here – living on the banks of the Tigris – reading these postings, much like receiving mail, is exciting. Thank you all for your support and words of encouragement. I have to admit, I was a bit surprised by the response, but it was so nice to hear from everyone.
I'm wrapping up the regular work week this evening. Today (Thursday) is what I refer to as the American Friday. You see, the Sabbath here in Iraq and much of the Middle East is traditionally on Friday. Therefore, our weekend here in Baghdad is Friday/Saturday. It takes a while to get used to, but when all you do is work, you kind of feel that there is really no weekend at all. I usually spend several hours at work on Fridays and Saturdays to catch up on work I've neglected as a result of more pressing, immediate concerns.
It's getting late and it is quiet now in my office, "the Green Room." The only sounds are those of a couple of stragglers clicking away at their key boards. They're either sending emails back to Washington where it's mid afternoon (normally there's an eight hour difference) or maybe they are ordering their favorite sundries from drugstore.com or a new pair of shoes from zappos.com (mine should be in any day now). Either way, quiet is nice from time to time. During the day, the Press Office is the hub of activity. It's loud, with approximately 25 people going about their duties in one gigantic room shouting from one end to the other, dozens of cell phones ringing, and people coming in and out. Seemingly constant ambient noise spills in from the palace rotunda through the very large open wooden doors that separates our office.
The last couple of days have been spent continuing to field calls about Blackwater and the various investigations that are being conducted as a result of the recent shooting incident. That, coupled with various officials testifying before Congress, has continued to drive the news and create a lot of work for us. Yesterday, we also were asked to respond to inquiries from the press about the Polish Ambassador to Iraq, Edward Pietrzyk, whose convoy was attacked in Baghdad. Sadly, a Polish soldier was killed. Blackwater contractors helped Medivac Ambassador Pietrzyk to the International Zone (IZ) hospital and get medical treatment for his injuries.
Because Americans are such a large part of the mission here in Iraq, the Embassy is asked to comment on most everything that happens in the country. I was talking with a coalition counterpart yesterday and that person told me they didn't receive one press call for comment on the attack on the Polish Ambassador. We do our best to respond to inquires from the press as necessary, but we also refrain when commenting would not be appropriate and should rightfully come from another source.
With that, another day in Baghdad has ended. With the recent time change, the days are shorter. (Oh, I should mention here that it's getting cooler now. Daily highs are about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I know that sounds hot, but it can get up to 120 F in the summer. So, 100 F is cool to us out here. It's a dry heat!) So, it's my "American Friday Night" and I have no plans, imagine that. Maybe, I should find the "happening" spot? But first, I'll give my mom in West Virginia a call and check in.
Ma'a salama.

I admire your courage to work and live in such a dangerous place, seeing conflict happening everyday and hearing the sound of firing around you. Have you ever thought of being shot and getting hurt or even being died? Is the strong feeling of duty, to report wherever, whenever and whatever is taking place, so high that make you neglect the danger around? Maybe when I have my own job in the future, I will sense the same feeling like you. I will keep on watching your blog and see what's going on in Baghdad. From your first blog I know that it's not always chaos there and sometimes quiet is also existing. Hope everyday can be the same. May you happy and safe there.

Some of the comments here would be funny if they didn't hold some sad truths.
Dear State,

The job has to have it difficult and sad moments. I just wish Ms. Rice and some of the other public faces didn't give off such a... such an untrustworthy vibe.
I watch CNN and come away with the feeling that if as much time was spent on meetings that included the Palestinians as it is spent in secret meetings with Israel that the two sides might make some headway. Someone should talk to them.
As for Iran? I'm hearing nothing but the same twisted logic as we did before Iraq. If apples, then oranges must be true.
All those good things happening in Iraq? Did you know that 1/3 of all the people of Iraq have either been killed, maimed, or displaced? We aggressively invaded a sovereign nation and look what has happened to its people.
There is nothing good about it. Even if Israel and the US roll up Syria and Iran all they will have managed to do is lessen the human condition and immerse ourselves in a policy going forward that is fundamentally different, and much worse, that what America has ever stood for.
In fact, this inflicting democracy on nations is a disaster and we own it, with great expense and sorrow.
I read where we could have given every Iraqi man, woman, and child $35,000 dollar (35 years worth of their salary at the time) for what we have spent on the war so far. Doing that would have had a much more favorable impact not only on them, but on us in the future.
What on God's green earth are we going to say when the headlines tell about a nightclub bombing in NY or somewhere and the last thing heard before they pulled out the pins was "Avenge Iraq!"
Who will we blame then?

There are a lot of tragic things taking place in Iraq today - the entire affair is one great, big tragedy as far as I'm concerned - and this one is pretty trivial, but it's somewhat tragic nonetheless:
- Countless intelligent, dedicated, committed and talented foreign service officers and employees stuck attempting to make some sense out of the Bush Administration's horrendously misguided policies in Iraq.
It's a big reason why I didn't go in to the foreign service myself, though I'd intended to do so after college. I couldn't stand the prospect of being forced to try and implement the flawed policies this administration formulates.
As State Dept. personnel try and salvage that which can not be salvaged in Iraq and make the most out of the sad and sorry situation the Bush administration has gotten us in to, I can't help but wonder what could have been if Bush, his cronies, and the neoconservative war hawks had listened to foreign service officers and career diplomats who likely had, at the very least, a realistic and accurate view of the country and region and whose wisdom could have kept us out of this unnecessary war in the first place.

The reasons why the American Army went there have been found without any resanable doubt unsustainable: no WMD and no Al Qaida was there previous to the American invasion. Moreover is obvious that the major beneficiary of this war is Iran and finally Al Qaeda has appeared.

You are truly fortunate to be working at one of the most important U.S. missions in the world. God bless and God speed...

Hi Noel,
Thank you for your service to our country. I was wondering how often you hear explosions from enemy bombs or other munitions. Is it fairly safe where you work?
I also wonder about Camp Ashraf in Iraq, where the Mujahadeen e-Khalq live under America protection. This group, which the State Department has classified as terrorists, is part of a large Iranian resistance group that wants to overthrow the current Iranian regime. I have two questions about the MEK situation.
1. How much does the United States rely on MEK intelligence taken from inside Iran? And will the United States consider removing the terrorist designation because the MEK has given us bankable intelligence on such things as the Iranian nuclear program?
2. What will happen to the MEK when the United States leaves Iraq.
I hope that you remain safe and I look forward to a response.

Dr. Steve Lawson is a dedicated student of the Reformation and the great Christian men behind it. His understanding of modern church trends is heavily informed by his knowledge of the theological wars that have been waged throughout church history. And the crucial battles fought by the Reformers in the fifteen hundreds provide valuable lessons in assessing the twenty-first-century church landscape.
In the following video, Dr. Lawson points out the common ground that contemporary cessationists share with the Reformers of five hundred years ago.
The Strange Fire conference will provide a much-needed response to the extrabiblical revelation synonymous with the charismatic movement, and will affirm the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. For more information about Strange Fire, please visit the conference website.

Dr. Lawson's point is well taken and is foundational in this challenge to those who hold to the continuation of the miracles of the Bible. What you (the folks who are behind the Strange Fire conference) must bear in mind is that those who are the sincere ones in the Charismatic/Pentecostal churches believe every word that he said. They are convinced that what is happening in their circles is the same thing that was happening in Acts. I know, because I am a former Charismatic. Many Charismatic churches are not wild and crazy, but are strong in their belief of scripture. They do not understand what John MacArthur was able to so well explain and document in his book "Charismatic Chaos", that there was a divine reason for those miracles that went beyond the moment, the period of church foundation. The miraculous was not intended to be a common experience for each and every believer. To say this, though, makes the Charismatic feel less important to God, because they believe they are entitled to the same treatment by God as the apostles and early church. If they are not experiencing these phenomenon then something is lacking in their life.
I would encourage the Strange Fire leadership to not focus so much attention on the extreme cases that are seen on TV, the Benny Hinns. Most Charismatics don't even know who he is and don't practice what they preach. What we have today is a much saner and biblically grounded non-cessationist who is open, because they have a poor way of interpreting the Bible and do not have the benefit of expository preaching/teaching. They don't have a grasp of the whole picture of what God was doing through the miracles that are recorded in scripture. I pray for wisdom in how this conference is structured and carried out. Jesus would surely want the sincere Charismatic to be drawn to the truth and not turned off by slinging arrows at the things they don't even see in their midst.
May our triune God be honored.

An important question here is whether 'standing on' the written Word of God necessarily leads to a Cessationist stance. A vision can provide guidance that is in line with Scripture, both Peter and Paul received specific guidance that way (Acts 10:9-23 and Acts 16:6-10). A prophecy does not have to go against Scripture, or add to it. Some prophecies can forewarn people of forthcoming difficulties (e.g. Acts 11:27-30). Are we not to use the written Word of God as the basis for discerning what is from God and what is not; and for discerning whether someone is claiming inappropriate authority? A Cessationist stance seems to hold the dangers of avoiding some of God's power, and declining to worship him in spirit and truth – especially in the light of Scriptures like 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22, 'Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.'

I think what you need to understand, Lois, is John MacArthur and the other members of the Strange Fire Conference, hit on Benny Hinn and Paul Crouch and the other TBN folks, not because they think that is what ALL Pentecostals believe (although there is going to be some resemblance in beliefs), but because they are the face of the movement because they are the only people you see.
You do not see the more "saner and biblical" Pentecostal because they are not on national TV, the other guys are; so they are the face of Pentecostalism. However, even if the more "saner" examples of the movement do not get in spastic fits in their services; there is still the problem of a denial of the Perseverance of the Saints, the absolute inability of Man, the effectual call of the Spirit and the definite atonement of Christ; all major points of sound Biblical Doctrine that is denied by that movement.
God Bless you and I appreciate your comments, I hope that my words were edifying and explanatory to you on this matter.
Pastor Michael Huffman
How can we have the Word without the Spirit , and how can we have the Spirit without the Word, If we can accept the Word of God then, we can accept the Spirit of God too Heb 4:12 the word of God is quick , and powerful, The Holy Spirit is life Of the Word of God, he is like the breath Of life that made us a living soul, he brought the life or the light of the earth into being. the Word was made flesh,The Spirit allow them to see it.
I trust that this conference will not only speak to Pentecostals and Charismatics but to other strange fire. I am not sure whats burning At WBC in Topeka Kansas but sure looks strange to me. And something been smoking in Hammond Indiana for years, also Oak Brook Ill holds to hermeneutics that interprets scripture by experience. None of those afore mentioned have any type of charismatic leanings yet I think they and others who take similar approachs, deserve the same scrutiny on their handing of Scripture. Thanks Dan
Thank you Lois Begly..
I don't deny the Perseverance of the Saints, the absolute inability of Man, the effectual call of the Spirit and the definite atonement of Christ; all major points of sound Biblical Doctrine . don't stereotype .
I have to agree with the others who say that Dr Lawson has misreprented the charismatic movement. The vast majority of charismatics (and pentecostals) fully accept the authority of scripture, and whilst they believe in modern-day prophecy, they do say that it must never contradict the Bible.
I hope the presentations at the Strange Fire conference take a better approach, as it would be very sad if they were found to be using straw man arguments.
I fail to see how Dr. Lawson has "misrepresented the charismatic movement." The modern day charismatics you say claim accept the full authority of God's Word, still appeal to dreams and other similar visions or a "word from God" in order to make daily decisions about their lives and how they interact with others. So even though they may not say their "dream" replaces the authority of God's Word, those dreams and visions are at least on equal standing with the authority of God's Word.
Moreover, if modern-day prophecy in the form of visions and dreams shouldn't ever contradict the Bible, where exactly then are those "contradictory" visions and dreams coming from? If God's Spirit is the source of visions and dreams and prophecy, why would it "contradict" the authority of His own Word to begin with? Are you saying the devil is responsible for bad, contradictory visions and dreams? Where does the Bible teach us that there is bad prophecy and good prophecy coming from the same source which in this case would be God Himself?
You asked:
" Where does the Bible teach us that there is bad prophecy and good prophecy coming from the same source which in this case would be God Himself?"
I think you will find your answer in 1 Kings 22.
This country is, like Israel at the time, under the judgement of God. I think Dr MacArthur's sermon When God Abandons a Nation will also help back up my statement:
Being a true believer, I have a question regarding charismatics, and that is: How does one who says they are a true child of Christ(having been convicted of sin, righteousness and judgment by the work of the Holy Spirit, and having repented of sin, embracing the gospel, and becoming a genuine slave of Christ)remain charismatic? In other words, if someone is a believer, what makes them "charismatic" as opposed to a believer who is not charismatic? And why would one remain charismatic after being reborn of the Spirit? Is this similar to one saying that they are Roman Catholic, then coming to genuine conversion, and still saying that they're Roman Catholic? What separates a "charismatic" believer from a non-charismatic believer? Thank you for your genuine answers; I seek them in love.
It seems that when a "charismatic" says that they hold to the authority of Scripture, they do so as long as they can use it as a "proof text" to justify their actions. If they can't use a proof text, then the Bible is not authoritative. If the Scriptures were truly authoritative to them, they wouldn't be practicing what they practice. The point is, what if Scripture didn't have texts for a charismatic to point to? Where would their authority and justification lie for their doings? And why do so many people take Scriptures out of context?

Topic: Direct Subdomains to port numbers?
O.k...so I have a static IP for my development, and that's cool - I assigned a subdomain to it so that I can tell clients to go to "inside.techism.com" to see their latest site progress.
The trouble is that the first thing you see at that location is my router's login information. In order to get to an actual site, I have to specify a specific port which I have the router forwarding to the proper server.
Right now, I have to add in a port number for each site such as: inside.techism.com:3000
I would LIKE to find some way to make, rails.techism.com, or clientname.techism.com, forward to the right port. Is there a way to do this?

Executive Director's Report - Week of March 8
Normally these reports are written the week before they are distributed so I can only provide a cursory view of the National Indoor Tournament and its Town Hall meetings this past weekend. This section of the report is being written on Monday, March 8, 2010. Last evening I returned from a weekend-long visit to the National Indoor Tournament in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I have been around many sporting events, but this one really captures the purity of sport. Girls/women, and some boys/men, were playing from early morning to late at night. The contests were a varied mix. Some were blowouts, but most were intensely competed matches. Oh my gosh, these young athletes are intent on winning the proper way and exhibited tremendous athletic prowess. Not only did I see athletic prowess and focus in the eyes of the athletes, but the passion was also found throughout the umpire corps, the volunteers, and the staff of USA Field Hockey. One hundred and seventy-two teams competed during the term of the tournament. Nineteen vendors were on hand selling goods, and their retail business was brisk. The medical crews had little to do because risk management and a sense of proper umpire control of the games was manifest. This was truly a great event.
While the tournament was ongoing, USA Field Hockey staged four Town Hall meetings at the Virginia Beach Convention Center (next to the competitions). These meetings were the first of the year, as many more will continue throughout the season. The purpose is to develop a grasp of what the majority of the membership would like to see USA Field Hockey become over the long-term. Within the four meetingsheld, were a total of forty people attending. While this may sound like just a few, the composition of the attendees provided a good comprehensive view of the various constituencies within the organization. The constituencies represented at the meetings were umpires, coaches, athletes, and parents.
While we are interested in hearing concepts on how to shape the organization for the future, we also heard concerns of the present. We want to work toward resolving the concerns of the present into resolutions for the future so the organization can become a more complete organization to develop field hockey for a wider audience of participants and observers. Here is a flavor of what we heard from each group:
Umpires: We need to engage in a concerted effort to recruit more umpires into the game. Many umpires are getting "long in the tooth" **(this was not my expression, but came from the umpires themselves), and we need to replenish the ranks with a new generation. Part of the issue we have is finding events to rate new umpires. That issue falls into another issue of finding and/or developing more places to play (so umpires can be rated at those play sites). Many umpires are hopeful that retiring athletes will give back to the sport and a great avenue is officiating. A big issue brought to the forefront was respect. Umpires provide creditability to the game through consistent enforcement of the rules. To be constantly trampled upon by yelling parents/coaches/athletes is just not cool. Respect comes in many forms such as the proper feeding, watering, housing of umpires at tournaments, and the amount of honoraria payments for officiating games. These items have a budget association, and we can only operate to the size of business that we are. However, the respect of umpires is paramount as they are a major pillar to ethics in sport. In the coming months, we will highlight umpires and their importance to the sport in our various media presentations.
Coaches: The events we are currently conducting are meant to provide an opportunity for coaches to view athletes as they perform. Many coaches want the events to be coaching-centric. In other words, they would like blocks of athletes scheduled in such a manner that it is easier to watch a greater number of athletes that they may have an interest in recruiting. To be honest, this is almost impossible in the current format because there are so many athletes. To help remedy their issue, next year's NIT is being broken up into two separate events and two separate locations. The new schedule will provide relief for coaches (but, some of the parents did not like it as they have children in two separate age brackets and the new schedule will require their travel to both locales in 2011).
Athletes: Simply put, athletes want more places to play. Elite athletes would like more support (our support is limited when compared to other countries principally due to lack of governmental subsidy). Our long-term remedy for elite athletes (no matter the sport) is to seek Federal underwriting, as we currently have no governmental subsidy whatsoever. For those athletes wanting to play post-collegiately, we need to create tools for event organizers to develop new events, and we need to demonstrate to those organizers a reasonable expectation of generating a profit through their events. This is a long-term goal.
Parents: The first words out of their months oriented around safety issues. There were representations of a wide range of injuries that were commonplace. Injuries such as facial orbit injury, dental injury, and lacerations were highlighted. While in our insurance history log of claims, we are not seeing much in the way of catastrophic injury, we do not/cannot ignore injury potential. There was quite a discussion revolving around mandating certain types of protective equipment. Some were favorable toward the notion of equipment. Many other Town Hall participants used examples of other sports requiring helmets, masks, eyewear, et cetera, and then watching claims elevate as athletes felt less vulnerable to injury and became more aggressive. There was no outcome on this discussion. But, we do have on an ongoing process. It is a process of analysis of loss claims (although, if truth is known, most of our parents have health insurance and the USA Field Hockey policies are not "hit" as much to give us a legitimate understanding of injuries and real grasp of our true risk). Our intent is to manage claims and create less risk, and to watch this carefully. However, there is no sport that does not have its inherent risks. And, everyone agreed with that notion Did we accomplish what we were seeking? We certainly had a lot of input. As we move forward with more Town Halls we will get more and more direction as to what you want this organization to be. Thanks to everyone who participated.
Last week I spoke about the AtaHolding FIH Women's World Cup Qualifier to be held at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center near San Diego March 26 through April 3, 2010. This could be monster big for the Southern California area and hockey generally. Laura Darling is organizing it and we hope you can attend. So, please come!
From The Late Show with David Letterman: "The Academy Awards show was so long this year that they had to keep adding to the montage of dead actors."
** Do you know where the comment 'long in the tooth' comes from? It has to do with horses and determining their ages. Apparently horses teeth grow throughout life. Back in the day when horses were sold the prospective owner would check their teeth to make sure the seller was not lying about their youthful age. If they were 'long in the tooth' the buyer could tell he was purchasing an old horse.

Stocks Close Mixed as Dow Hits 2007 High
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages were mixed Tuesday as Pfizer(PFE) shares popped on the drugmaker's quarterly report and Apple(AAPL) jumped following a product announcement. Data released Tuesday showed continued improvement in the housing market.
The Nasdaq slumped as the technology sector edged lower as analysts dissected a number of tech earnings releases, including those from Yahoo!(YHOO) and Seagate(STX) . The index tried to claw higher, paring losses amid Apple's gains.
Earlier Tuesday, Ford(F) provided a downbeat outlook for its European operations and has been seeing its shares sell off.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 72 points, or 0.5%, to 13,954 for its highest close since October 2007.
Breadth was positive, with winners outpacing losers 20 to 10. The top percentage blue-chip gainers were Pfizer, Procter & Gamble (PG) , Verizon(VZ) and Merck(MRK) .
Pfizer posted fourth-quarter earnings of 47 cents a share on revenue of $15.1 billion, surpassing the average analyst estimate of 44 cents a share on revenue of $14.4 billion, as emerging market sales strengthened. Shares added 3.1%.
Decliners included Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) , Cisco(CSCO) and Disney(DIS) .
The S&P 500 was up 8 points, or 0.5%, to 1,508. The Nasdaq lost less than a point to 3,153.66, but pared earlier losses. Apple shares gained 1.9% as the tech giant announced a fourth-generation iPad with 128 gigabytes of storage and a so-called retina display.
Most sectors in the broad market traded higher, led by energy, health care, consumer non-cyclicals and basic materials. The only sector that traded lower was consumer cyclicals.
Volumes totaled 3.93 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 2.04 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Advancers edged decliners by a ratio of 1.4-to-1 on the Big Board and 1.2-to-1 on the Nasdaq.
Ted Weisberg, president of Seaport Securities, said stocks have performed much better than many investors had expected. That said, he noted that last January was also a good month, and the market fizzled after the first quarter.
"The big question for us going forward as we start to exit fourth-quarter earnings, which have been OK, not spectacular, is when the focus of investors return to the U.S. economy, the housing market, the unemployment numbers, our dysfunctional politicians, the eurozone, the geopolitical problems ... without the benefit of the fourth-quarter earnings and considering the move that we've had in the market where everything is pretty much priced to perfection, it doesn't leave a lot of room for disappointment," he said.
The Conference Board on Tuesday said that its consumer confidence index fell to 58.6 in January, erasing all of the gains made through 2012 and the weakest read since November 2011, from an upwardly revised 66.7 in December. Economists, on average, were expecting 64.

I just saw the price of this shu, it would be over 400 rmb per cake
Some pictures
It said it is a work of art with slight fermentation, but it seem just a mixture of leaves with various degrees of fermentation as well as some sheng mixed in as well. As far as I know, if you mixing shu and young sheng, it would taste very weird.
Interesting to see how the market will react when it comes out.

FAA Seeks Replacement for Honeywell Cockpit Displays
FAA is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the replacement of certain older Honeywell cockpit displays on Boeing 737 and 777 family aircraft due to their vulnerability to Wi-Fi interference.
The agency said the Honeywell phase 3 display units (DU) are susceptible to radio frequency emissions in Wi-Fi frequency bands at "radiated power levels below the level that the displays are required to tolerate for certification of Wi-Fi system installations."
During testing of the phase 3 DUs on 737 series aircraft, the displays went blank for as long as 6 minutes when subjected to Wi-Fi frequencies. If the systems were to go blank during takeoffs and landings, it could result in the flight crew's loss of control of the aircraft at altitudes insufficient for recovery, FAA said. The displays provide flight critical information such as airspeed, altitude and heading.
The proposal was filed during the same week that an FAA advisory panel is meeting to complete recommendations on expanding the in-flight use of personal electronic devices (PED) by passengers connecting to the Internet through onboard Wi-Fi systems. FAA is recommending affected operators replace the existing phase 3 DUs with new phase 3A DUs and installation of new DU database software.
According to FAA, the AD affects 157 aircraft, with a total cost of retrofitting the planes with new displays at $1.6 million, or about $20,000 per plane.
Boeing reportedly addressed the problem with affected operators in 2012, but has not indicated how many aircraft have had their displays replaced. Honeywell did not return calls for comment.

Juiced up: Fresh, blended drinks an enjoyable way to absorb your vitamins
Jump-start your life. Charge your immune system. Detoxify your body. Learn to love your veggies.
The promises of juice are legion, but you won't hear them sung over frosty cans of OJ in the frozen-food aisle. Rather, the claims are made on behalf of raw juice, gleaming ruby- or emerald- or tangerine-hued streams of pure goodness that pour health straight into your glass. So prevalent — and many would say, so legitimate — are these claims that they've spawned a movement — juicing.
All the hype is balanced by the benefits raw juice does provide. It's made from fresh fruits and vegetables, and it's full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. If there's a downside, it's the calories and sugar delivered by too much of this good stuff.
Certified nutritionist Jo Schrubbe says drinking juice is a good way to get the eight to 10 servings a day of fruits and veggies recommended by the World Cancer Research Fund, particularly since many Americans now consume only one to three servings a day.
"Juicing might be the easiest way to guarantee that you will reach your daily target of vitamins and minerals. Especially for those who aren't big into fruits and vegetables," Schrubbe writes via email.
She cautions going overboard on fruit juice, though.
High in sugar
Sweet fruits and vegetables like watermelon, apples, pears and carrots are very nutritious when eaten whole, but if a person consumes too many of them juiced, the amount of sugar and fructose he or she is getting could be too high.
"If a juice has too much natural sugar, it can still affect insulin levels dramatically, causing cravings, mood swings and weight gain," Schrubbe writes.
There are "hidden traps" in juice, she says. "A cup of spinach has seven calories. A cup of carrots 45 calories. A cup of apples 60 calories. A cup of banana 200 calories. Clearly, what you juice matters when it comes to calories. The healthiest idea is to juice vegetables with just enough fruit to sweeten the juice."
Since the carbohydrate content of fruits and vegetables varies widely, too, certain juices — especially fruit juices — can be "a total blood-sugar bomb," she says. Non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, asparagus, cabbage, celery, cucumber and zucchini; low-sugar fruits like lemon; and fresh ginger are low in carbohydrates.
Extra protein?
Protein lovers and low-carb fans might try drinking green juices made with leafy greens, broccoli, celery and avocado, which are good sources of vegetable protein. The protein content of juice can be further boosted by adding flax seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, spirulina or pea protein powder, all of which are low carb, Schrubbe writes.
About that green juice . . . Isn't juice supposed to be orange or red or purple?
"You've just got to try it," she says. "You won't taste the green."
Schrubbe makes and drinks juice the first thing in the morning two or three times a week, and her favorite combination is something called Mean Green, which comes from the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." It contains greens such as kale or spinach, plus celery, cucumber, Granny Smith apple, lemon and ginger root.
Supporting a juice habit might seem costly, given the amount of fruits and veggies it requires — especially if you prefer organic — but Schrubbe says: "Pay now or pay later. Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of the antioxidants that our bodies need for cellular repair, which helps prevent aging and diseases like cancer."
She suggests reducing the cost by buying produce in season, watching grocery store ads for sales, shopping farmers markets or growing your own.
1 bunch greens
4 stalks celery
1 cucumber
2 Granny Smith apples
½ lemon, peel removed
Ginger root (thumb-size piece)
Wash and coarsely chop ingredients into large pieces. Juice according to manufacturer's instructions for your juicer.
Remember to rotate the greens (kale, chard, spinach, mustard greens, collards, dandelion, arugula, etc.) in your juice each week to prevent buildup of oxalic acid, which can affect the thyroid gland, and to provide a balanced amount of different vitamins and minerals for your body.

Skip to comments.W.H. holds off-the-record Benghazi briefing
Posted on 05/10/2013 11:45:08 AM PDT by Perdogg
click here to read article
Off the record ! these new lies don't count but we gonna float em!
Secret meeting with secretive reporters.
"Here's how you spin it..."
Most transparent administration ever strikes again.
The White House held an off-the-record briefing with reporters
Well, we can always say that we know how it feels to live under a dictator.
Private "staff" meeting
Wow! These commies don't care anymore. NEVER should any administration have "off the record" anything.
Obama may be worried for the first time .
"The most transparent administration"...FUBO!
IMPEACH the muzzie communist!
IOW, marching orders on how the propaganda messaging will be directed from this day forward.
Impeach the traitor!!
Ministry of Truth Steering Committee
Planting stories for the weekend talk shows.
Evidence that the MSM IS AN ARM of this Administration.
I wonder who wasn't invited into the "Closed Door" room
Off the record?
Why would reporters ever be invited to speak "off the record" by a politician?
I do want an answer to this question. There is no plausible explanation.
How very.....transparent of them.
So three (3) months from now we will see whom was invited via the "White House visitor logs"? (sure)
the cover up of the cover up of the cover up is getting ready to cover up the cover up
"Let's get on the same page!"
Reporters take "off the record" briefings all the time.
They are nowhere near as ethical as they or their left-wing fans like to portray them as being.
[MSM OTR W WH] == [Propaganda Planning Session]
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Who here thinks we will hear a complaint from the 'opposition party' much less the screaming fit this calls for?
Then ask yourselves why there is silence.
Coordinating the coverup between the WH and the MSM. Strictly off the record.
They were probably told they've gone too far already at ABC.
From what I've read only certain media types (the most reliable ones) were invited ... many that were excluded are pissed. Not a smart move.
I wonder if the POTUS is going to have Carney through a body to the lions. For Obama to protect himself, he has to give the media their villain.
Obama can't make Hillary the fall guy. The Clinton's won't stand for it. She's loyal to herself. She'll turn on Obama in obnoxious fashion, looking like a patriotic American in the process. Hillary would become a whistle blower.
For Obama to blame someone, they have to be either in on it, or powerless to defend themselves with help from the media.
Zippy's stupid, but not that stupid. The list of stenographers will become the gold standard of butt kissers.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
MEDIA INVESTIGATION TIME.......rampant corruption!
<....."getting ready to cover up the cover up"....>
I agree...as soon as ABC gave their report I said this is a set up...the White House Administration will use it all as they see fit...even if it "appears" they are wrong for a time....it gets the listeners engaged with them.
got names? was fox included?
" Who here thinks we will hear a complaint from the opposition party much less the screaming fit this calls for?
Then ask yourselves why there is silence."
We both know the answer to this one.
The Obama Administration is putting on its Scandal Condom.
Oh poor Obama, he's going to have to take the fall. Boo hoo hoo. I better get some popcorn for this weekend.

I have a Gibson J185 EC with a fishman pickup system (including a barndoor style preamp). I would like to update to an anthem pickup system and need some assistance.
It looks like the stagepro preamp is smaller than my existing fishman.
Would you recommend having my luthier create some kind of custom bezel to hold the stagepro? Or would you recommend getting the standard Anthem system and just leaving the unused fishman preamp in my guitar?

Best Fishing Times: 2:50AM to 4:50AM, and 3:20PM to 5:20PM
Alternate Fishing Times: 9:20AM to 11:20AM
Fishing Nikok River, AK on 1/18/2017 will be best from 2:50AM through 4:50AM, and from 3:20PM to 5:20PM. If those times won't work for you, 9:20AM to 11:20AM looks promising. Remember to adjust these times based on barometric pressure, and weather changes.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 38 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by crafter78 Fits well. Wore on a trip to Costa Rica and didn't even realize I had a compression hose on. Plan to wear to Australia soon. Comfortable. November 25, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by HAttie These have relieved arm pain from my work .I wear them daily March 19, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by grandmakat Thank goodness I decided to try these I need to use elastic hose but couldn't stand the regular long type. I ordered 2 pair, one of each color and love them! I too forget they are on my legs and they really keep my legs from having that horrible pain. One day I was in a hurry and forgot them and boy did my legs ache by the time I got home. I'm probably going to have to order some more! September 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by samintx At last no struggle ! I have been struggling with the full foot stretch sox for years. It is like going to the dentist to get them on. I saw these on TS and order two pair. Oh, my so easy to get on and off with the same circulation effect. Thank you TS for finding these. October 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by animono Surprising! Although pricey, the quality and benefit received from this item is well worth it. They are so comfortable that one wants to wear them all the time and not just for travel! April 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zavs Great for runners and walkers who travel Great for athletes amateur or not, sitting for long periods on airplanes effect us all. Wearing these compression sleeves eliminates that bad feeling when you first get up at the end of a long flight, you can walk down the gangaway and tackle the lines at baggage pickup and be on your way without leg discomfort. June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by dugan These wonderful Zensah® Fresh Legs™ Compression Sleeves turned out to help my legs on a very long flight. I would highly recommend them for any airline traveler. August 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ZMaripoza Eliminate Shin & Leg Pain with Zensah Recently purchased my second pair of Zensah Fresh Legs Compression Sleeves. I use them as much as possible under pants and long skirts. My legs definitely miss them when I'm not wearing them. Sometimes I even wear them to bed if I've been on my feet all day. I do not YET have varicose veins but my legs were feeling tired and aching. My shins were actually painful. My Zensah sleeves cured all the discomfort that even regular massage therapy could not eliminate. My only suggestion for these would be to wash them by hand as I think the machine washing of the first pair lessened their strength a little bit. August 16, 2013

I look forward to some pictures.Don
My ADD kicked in a bit, I will await the pictures also.
ive got the oven 90% complete. went for a 3/4" pipe handle, cut a hole for a wood feed, added an old f150 air cleaner lid for a top 'stone' and cut a hole in the middle about 2 3/4", added a vertical baffle between the hole and the exhaust stack on the top. been using it for a WFG (wood fired grill) lately and i have fantastic results. can't wait to get it back on my property (its at my friends right now) and fire it up with a pizza stone
Easiest for me is to reduce my size of pic on my camera, never had a problem since. God I lost so many posts before! lolDon

Federal authorities, regulations and guidelines define how GSA preserves and treats archeological sites and objects. Please contact a Regional Historical Preservation Officer if you require additional information.
GSA has been involved in the following significant archeological investigations:
In 1991, the 17th- and 18th-century remains of more than 400 Africans were discovered during pre-construction work for a federal building in lower Manhattan in New York City. The finding deeply impacted the descendant and broader community and simultaneously renewed awareness in cultural significance and historic preservation. Following the discovery, nearly two decades were dedicated to the documentation and interpretation of the site. The African Burial Ground was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993, and a National Monument in 2006. In 2007, the African Burial Ground Memorial was dedicated.
Five Points, New York, NY
Archaeological investigations on the site of the new Foley Square U.S. Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street were undertaken by GSA in fulfillment of its obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act and related Federal legislation. Through the study of the artifacts recovered in 1991, the daily lives of the people who lived in the thriving working-class neighborhood at Five Points become visible.

Pure antioxidant Vitamin C blended with the two primary cell-wall transport electrolytes, sodium and potassium, for a balanced antioxidant electrolyte formula to support your best overall health.
Suggested Use
Sip over 10-15 minutes
1/4 Teaspoon in 1/2 Cup Water = 845 mg Vitamin C
1/2 Teaspoon in 1/2 Cup Water = 1690 mg Vitamin C
1 Teaspoon in 1 Cup Water = 3380 mg Vitamin C
For a refreshing drink, mix 1/2 teaspoon or more of Super C Powder with water, mineral water or juice 1-4 times per day and sip, with or without meals.
Other Ingredients
Contains no gluten, wheat, yeast, buckwheat, sugar, pollen, dairy, corn or soy residues, animal products, or any hidden additives.
No Sugar or Sweeteners
Color and Texture Change: Because Super C Powder contains no artificial additives or preservatives, a color and texture change may occur in the jar as the white ascorbic acid powder form of Vitamin C naturally transforms itself into a less acidic, orange ascorbate beadlet form of Vitamin C. Both forms are of equal potency.
Please Note: Because we choose not to use any preservatives, fillers or retardants; the white Vitamin C powder naturally will cake over time becoming a buffered orange ascorbate. This makes it less acidic and gentler on the stomach. The effectiveness and potency of the product is not affected in any way.
Precautions: Low sodium dieters are advised that 3 half-teaspoons of Super C Powder per day contain only about 1/6 of a gram of sodium. Although a normal daily sodium intake is about 15-20 times more, you may want to consult your physician before using Super C regularly.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Product color and aroma may vary or change over time due to natural ingredients.

Sinful Style - Page 2
Maybe Alabaman Robert Youngren was aiming for a magazine cover when, in 1998, he dyed his hair a different color for each race—the Western States, Vermont, Leadville and Wasatch Front 100 milers—in the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. And the 24-year-old didn't stop there. He also dyed his socks, shirt and, occasionally, his shoes to match. My personal favorite: the noxious green that made him look like Green Lantern from DC Comics. It must have worked; he became the youngest action hero ever to complete The Slam.
If you try to wear anything new on Race Day, headwear is a safe bet 99 times out of 100. Frontwards or backwards, what can go wrong? Be forewarned about visors, though. Lately this version of sun protection has grown popular for reasons known only to my editor and the good Lord (one and the same when I need to get paid). These props of Satan are best left to the tennis courts. I donned one for a desert race in 2005 and paid the price with a sunburnt scalp that itched and peeled for a week.
From sun protection to warmth, always consider functionality when choosing your Race Day apparel. For example, don't wear German lederhosen just because it'll be funny—while others might laugh, cowhide is not breathable and you will not enjoy the crotch rub that occurs. Trust me.
Functionality—and the weather forecast—dictated a last-second wardrobe addition at the 2006 Wasatch Front 100. The weatherman warned of intense midday heat, so I accessorized my outfit with what became the best apparel decision I ever made: a chili-pepper-decorated bandana—and no ordinary bandana, at that. The back of it contained a spacious pocket and sponge that, when stuffed with ice cubes, helped me to endure the hot, punishing mid-afternoon miles that eat their Wasatch young.
Regarding functionality, "skorts" confuse me. Oddly, many runners are taking to these shorts-miniskirt hybrids. My wife loves hers. She claims it performs as well as shorts and she likes how it looks (I heartily agree, for the record). However, skorts do not look good on any one male trail runner, and I have seen a few wearing them at races in the same way that every college frat guy cross dresses at some point. Please, men, leave the skorts at home in the closet with your other skeletons and secret lusts -- unless you have Scottish ancestry or truly believe that they help you to run better.
Finally, I must point out one disclaimer to the Functionality Mandate. The rule does not apply in late October, when runners enjoy license to dress for Halloween. That's what I once did for a 5K. Inspired by a Far Side cartoon (punchline: "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal."), I painted a red target on a white cotton tee and clipped novelty deer antlers to my head. This was as non-functional as you can find. I pranced to a pretty quick time, though. Only afterward did I wonder if it was hunting season.
Garett Graubins once wore a blonde afro wig and rainbow tights on a quick three miler. In doing so, he managed to outrun campus security.

Alveograph numbers:W= 55.299999
Minneapolis, we have a problem
Joe called me then and told me that really the W number is proprietary internal information for the General Mills Neapolitan Pizza Flour and can't be given out to anyone.
Boo! Hisssssss! It's one thing to say "General Mills doesn't provide W numbers," but to give us a number and then tell us that they don't give out numbers? Bad form.And why should their W number be proprietary? Anyone with an alveograph can run the flour through it and get a figure. It's not like the secret ingredients in Coca Cola. If they are trying to bring a flour to the market that's in direct competition to the Italian millers- millers that are completely open (and quite proud) about their W figures, then, if they expect to be competitive, they should not just try to match the Italian flour, but they should match the forthcoming nature and customer service of the Italians as well.Shame on you, General Mills!
I will have to order a bag and give it a try. thanks Norma and I look forward to hearing what you think of the product. Walter
Joe actually got a slap on the hand. I told Joe I was sorry that it happened. Joe said that was okay because he told me I could post on this open forum. Joe really don't understand what the W number is. If you look what Peter posted at Reply 15 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,4986.msg42545.html#msg42545 as he has noted previously elsewhere, the deformation energy factor W in not a common one in the U.S. Millers use it but retailers who sell flour, such as King Arthur, for example, do not disclose W values in their literature made available to retail buyers.
Peter and Scott,I understand that knowing the W number would be a big help to anyone that might want to try the new GM flour. Norma
Norma, regardless of my consternation with GMs customer service, I think you've done a fantastic job of bringing this flour to the forum's attention and I hope that your experiments with it are a success.
Ingredients of this product; WHEAT FLOUR. No malted barley...nothing...CoolAlso a Falling Number of 325 secCaputo is 340-360 sec
Are you sure about no malt? The data they sent Norma said "Falling Number 474 (no malt)" but the published spec is 325. Malted barley brings down the falling number.
And why should their W number be proprietary?
$14 less, per bag, than Caputo.
The bags says "Ingredients: Wheat Flour"The website says the same.http://www.professionalbakingsolutions.com/product/gm-neapolitan-hearth-style-pizza-flour-50-lb/50237000?mct=Flour&ct=pizza&typ=Category
Well, my free sample was delivered today... All divvied up into vacuum sealed bags. Dough to follow.
When are you going to try out that new flour?

Neil Innes film: "The Seventh Python"
Those of you going to thhe NY/NJ Beatlefest might want to know that they are screening a film about Neil Innes (AKA Rutle Ron Nasty), the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band founder and Monty Python's Flying Circus collaborator, which premiered June 26th, 2008 at the American Cinematheque's Mods & Rockers Film Festival at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.
I just learned about this film on The Beatlefest Facebook website. I have, yet, to see it. This film should appeal to any Neil Innes, Rutles, Beatles, and Monty Python fans.
