Brendan Rodgers is relieved he ended up as manager of Liverpool and not Tottenham.
The former Swansea boss was in the mix to succeed Harry Redknapp but instead ended up at Liverpool while Andre Villas-Boas took over at White Hart Lane.
And he believes the dismissal of the Portuguese this week is indicative of the short-termism which means he got the better end of the deal.
Asked how he felt about the situation now, Rodgers said: "A close shave. They are a great club and one of the things I looked at was the history.
"They'd had 11 managers in 18 years there so for someone like myself, I needed to create something; I needed to go to a club that was going to give us that opportunity," he told the Daily Mail.
"It's difficult...they have had a good couple of years, they were up there under Harry Redknapp.
"Obviously there have been difficulties from [Gareth] Bale leaving. There are many good players but very few who perform week in week out to that level.
"I am more than happy with the choice I made to come here and hopefully in time it will prove to be the right one."

My suggestion since you are moving over from a flute is to find someone who lives close to you and have him give you some pointers. Also, a purchase of Shawn Stahl's Honker Talk DVD or the Dave Smith CD's should be a manditory purchase when learning to blow a short reed.
Good luck!

To unemployment and to stop the Rich driving America over the cliff, it's important that government pays for Rich people limo drivers!
Picking from the unemployed and to stop the Rich driving America over the cliff, it's important our government pays for Rich people limo drivers!
Double post or stuttering? Both!
And if I was?
It shows that you love demonstrating your empty skull cavity
Mature and spoken like a 12yr old.
Hey! You asked the question, deal with the answer.
Sad, still the child trying play with the Adults.
Which adults? How can you include yourself in the adulthood group when your brain is barely 1 month old!
Sorry, brain-challenged sheep, "your" not "cleaver" enough
pp you are proving yourself to be an idiot.
An idiot that is fun to tease.
Sounds like the debt ceiling collapsed over the fiscal cliff…
When I don't have as much money I spend less. I assume prudent rich people do the same. So far as I can tell it was already hard to make money and it's about to get a lot harder. I see no likely hood the economy is going to pick up and several things going on that could and to be fair already should have knocked the bottom out of the economy. We had something like the 15th best situation for someone to try and do business in. I'm thinking we are about to be somewhere below Cuba.
The good news is the destitute can get free medical care an if you aren't destitute you will pick up the tab and the bad news is free medical care looks like it's going to mean take a number and wait….
Whaaaa. Willard's loss to the Muslim negro still sore 🙁
You should know about sores.
At least he's not a looser like you pp!
Can't get over your election lost, can you!
You put so much hope and effort into RomneyDumb and you lost, so sad.
You're so sad and so mad that dallas picked a winner and you picked a loser.
You need to own your faults, accept your dumbness and acknowledge your illness before you can change and mature into an Adult.
Um, I believe Pedro lives in Venezuela,
so why don't you give it a rest.
Its become embarrassing.
C'mon! Why do you want to spoil my fun. It's not that often that you can find someone so easy to pwn.
pp, I am sure you have wet dream about pwning imaginary people.
Keep dreaming.
Do those pills help?
The only person dreaming here is you not being pwned, which makes my pwnage of you so much sweeter.
As 12yr olds go, pp your still not very cleaver.
Well, my brain developed up to 12 years. "Your" never got past the first month after your daddy & mommy made the ugly.
And what the hell is being "cleaver"
Your a sad child aren't you, "Well, my brain developed up to 12 years."?
You don't have friends to play with?
We can certainly see why.
Let me teach you a bit of English since you obviously have no idea of what syntax, grammar and punctuation works.
It should be written: You are a sad child, aren't you?
It is quite impressive what you can do without a brain, but "your" still not "cleaver" than a 5th grader (let alone an 8th grader).
The idiot wants to be a teacher?
Teach me dumb one!
I always say liberals live in a cartoon world. Why; because their understanding of most issues is no more sophisticated than your average cartoon. Thank you for proving my point for me.
Congratulations pp! You found your new butt-buddy, Drone -on.
Just because you do the ugly with DUllass doesn't mean everyone else limps your way, "looser" nobrain
poor pp, all jealous and angry again. Did I interfere with your crush on dallas.
You always respond to that! You so predictable, it's fun!
You are very protective of dallas? How long have you been trolling your love? It looks you are smitten hard with troll love that hurts.
Does dallas take the place of Romney for you?
Still trying to recover from the loss? All that Romney hope and change, gone!
You must be hard to get over it! Be-sure not to hurt your self, use the jelly!
Answer me this:
We all know DUllass is an expert on sores, is the fact that you are a sore "looser" his appeal on you?
pp still a looser, get over it and grow up! .
Obama won and Romney lost.
Tell us, how do you loose DUllass' sores?
pp, still sore and angry about loosing. You need to accept it and move on.
As someone else already pointed to you just a few posts away, you are embarrassing yourself; quit while you're still behind.
I really know you won't since liberuls like you have absolutely no sense of embarrassment and that, in your case, it is worse because you lack a brain but I thought I should make you the offer. I hate to look like taking advantage off a handicapped.
The idiot wants to be a teacher?
Teach me dumb one!
It so fun to tease the idiot!
Nah, you just can't learn. You have no brain. You should look for a special kid's teacher. You'll love the short bus rides.
Funny pp, you wanted me to attend your special needs class.
You, a special needs child; that explains why you're so pissy.
So Sad, pp not having fun hanging out with idiots smarter then pp!
Hope those meds help!
And then there's Obama, acting like he won the election or something.
Not really, he's acting like a child that won the election. "I won so do it my way" "I don't have to compromise with anyone."
He was re-elected to office not crowned.
Stupid Republicans, EMBRACE Clinton Era Taxes, end the Bush Tax cuts…it was a bad republican idea.
Obama convinced me, so did the DNC. They've railed against the Bush Tax Cuts for years…and they won the Election.
Embrace the Clinton era taxes…
Then argue we return to the Clinton era spending…and have surpluses again.
AND we return to the Clinton era regulations…
Then the economy will boom!
And I thought everyone hated Fox…The worm has definitely turned.
If I were Boehner and Cantor, the negotiations would be simple.
First Obama and I would go off the fiscal cliff together, like Thelma and Louise.
To Obama offer of maxim taxation and no spending restraint…I'd counter with the "CLINTON TRIPOD" as the true mid way position.
In contrast to Republican extremes of low taxes and small government, we return to the spending and government of Clinton.
As we all know, that was a time of great success….a booming economy….everyone paying their fair share….clean water and air…
Its that simple. Obama gets what he and the DNC wanted…an end to the hated Bush Tax Cuts.
They Get Clinton era good government.
They won, lets make the win official.
I wish people realized that raising taxes on business owners does not take money from said business owners.
It takes money from their customers — the ones wanting the tax increases. Businesses do not pay taxes. Customers do.
When prices go up, expect interest rates to go up. And then we are really going to see some interesting times.
So go ahead. Raise my taxes. You'll be paying for it so break out that checkbook.
For your logic to be true, more business taxes means more customer cost, then if the Government gave money to business they would pass it on to customers!
How nice that GE and other companies want to be legal people without any of the responsibilities. How much many has our government spend defending GE assets (ass) here and around the world!
Quit changing the subject. We're talking about raising taxes that will do absolutely nothing positive to the debt or the economy.
This is nothing more than Dr. "Everything will be alright" propaganda that is designed to keep the peasants away from the drawbridge.
Look at the root cause of the problems and you'll see how to solve them.
"When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way"
That's exactly what happens…when costs are lower, business lower their prices….and if one doesn't, then his competitors will take market share when they do.
The free market works.
Even better, when Government doesn't rip off business, over regulate, and throw them to the mercy of legal extortion…they return from overseas and make products here.
They don't have a clue, common sense is subverted by modern educators, leftist theory took its place.
Its elementary. If it takes 8 cents to make a donut, and its sold for 10 cents, a 2 cent profit exists that can be taxed. The remainder must pay the cost of making future donuts, or its bankruptcy time.
So if the Government takes away the margin for new donuts, by higher taxes…as business has two choices: 1)they decrease costs by laying off employees; 2)they raise prices.
Often competition is so fierce, 1 is the only option as 2 causes loss of volume which raises costs and brings on bankruptcy.
Its that simple.
Correction: If the Government takes away the margin THAT MAKES it worthwhile to make new donuts…
Which is like taking away a worker's pay….
He has two choices etc.
Or he does what a worker does when he is not paid…he stops working or making donuts.
Under Pres Clinton Social Security was pulling in surpluses of hundreds of billions of dollars, while now it is a deficit of a hundred billion and growing. So right there, the Clinton surpluses are gone.
Bonehead & crew resurrected Obama after his 2010 devastating defeat. Now an energized Obama is bullying Bonehead and his sidekick Cantor into promising sex along with tax increases…
But he don't want us to know till we're going over the cliff…create the apocalypse….the conservatives will cave in…
I'm not convinced Republicans will get the blame for ending the Bush Tax Cuts…its what the Democrats have promised they would do for years….so how is it the Republican's fault when they get their way?
Even the Moron voter might see through that one.
I'm all for freedom of speech. But like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, there are many examples of speech which most people would agree are acceptably subject to censure. I have seen the death of good un-moderated newsgroups because of the free reign of juveniles. It's time to cull the puerile assholes. It seems like you already warned bobbo and Alfie but WTF about the worst guys, noname and pedro?
It IS true that the best forums are moderated.
Before moderation forums did Ok, DU is just fine. If you don't like Noname Pedro Dallas me or bobbo…don't read us, its that simple.
Nothing prevents you from expressing your opinion…and its possible you'll get responses…with the chaff will be some wheat.
Obama's tax hike raises about $80 billion dollars a year. When will he come up with the other $920 billion to balance the budget? Or at least the $620 billion to cut the deficit in half? Or the $420 billion to at least cut his own increased first year deficit in half?
Way too complicated for the average liberul to grasp
The unstated premise is Obama wants to fix things, therefore balancing the budget is one of his goals.
But if Obama does not want to fix things, then everything he does can be explained…even predicted.
If your premise was Obama would always choose what harms the country, over what helps it….all of Obama's actions from Inauguration till now are explicable, even predictable.
Notice I speak of actions…not speeches…Obama misdirects from what he is doing via speeches.
Mr. Burns is my hero.

How not to write a press release
So what went wrong with Stainforth et al paper? The press release is available here. The only science result in the press release refered to the 11ºC outlier but the release itself is not incorrect. However, both the title 'Bleak first results…' and the first paragraphs do not provide any context that would correctly lead a (relatively ignorant) journalist to appreciate that there was even a distribution function of climate sensitivities. I'm pretty sure that the point that was trying to be made was that relatively small tweaks to climate models can change the sensitivity a lot, and that you can't rule out high sensitivities based on model results alone, but that was not clear for people who didn't already know the context.
Myles Allen, for whom I have the utmost respect, I think made a rather poor argument in the BBC program. He stated that "if journalists embroider the press release without reference to the original paper, [the scientists] are not responsible for that". I disagree. Looking at the press release, one could have predicted with high confidence that much of the coverage would focus solely on the 11ºC number and that they would assume that this was a new prediction. As scientists, I would argue that we have to take responsibility for how our work is portrayed – and if that means we need to provide better context, then we need to insist that that is included in the release. Myles is on much stronger ground when he argued that the mean model response (~3ºC sensitivity) wasn't terribly interesting because it is just a reflection of the basic model they started with before any perturbations, which is true. However, without some statement about the relative likelihood of any of the high-end numbers, I find it hard to see how the journalists could have got the message right. Having said that, implications aired in the program that the scientists deliberately misled the journalists or said things that knew would be mis-understood are completely without foundation. (Update: Please see the response of the journalists listed in this comment below to really underline that).
What can we learn from this? The first and most fundamental lesson is that scientists should not relinquish control of the press releases. Public relations professionals are talented and useful when it comes to writing releases for media consumption, but the scientists have to be fully involved in the process. If there are obvious frames that the scientists want to avoid, they need to be specific within the press release what their results do not imply as well as what they might. A clear statement in the Stainforth et al release that placed the 11 C result in context of how unlikely it was and specifically stated that it wasn't a prediction would have gone a long way to allay some of the worst coverage.
For an example of how this can work, the Solanki et al paper on solar sunspot reconstructions had a specific statement that their results did not contradict ideas of strong greenhouse warming in recent decades, neatly heading off simplistic (and erroneous) interpretations of their paper. On the other hand, much of the poor reporting related to the 'methane from plants' story could have been avoided if the authors had been more upfront in their release that their work was not related to greenhouse gas changes and had no significant implications for reforestation credits under Kyoto!
In summary, I would emphasise that the scientists and the actual papers discussed here and in the BBC documentary were not 'alarmist', however there is a clear danger that when these results get translated into media reports (and headlines) that scientifically unsupportable claims can be made. Scientists and the press professionals they work with, need to be very clear that, for the field as a whole, the widest possible coverage for any one paper should not be the only aim of a press release.
All publicity is not good publicity.

Who'll Keep Your 50-Year-Old Software Running?Harold L. Sirkin
It's hard to believe that most of the technology we take for granted is just a generation or so old. Most of us carry more computing power in our pockets or handbags than a state-of-the-art office or factory possessed during the Reagan era, when the Microsoft operating system (MS-DOS) was first coming into use.
With generational change, however, comes a generational challenge: The baby boomers that brought us the computer revolution, developing the products and programs we now rely on, are retiring.
But many companies are still using programs written in such software languages as Cobol and Fortran that were considered "cutting edge" 50 years ago. Indeed, the trade publication Computerworld has reported that more than half of the companies they surveyed are still developing new Cobol programs.
The trouble is, an estimated one-third to one-half of all Cobol and Fortran programmers are at least 50 years old, and today's generation of software developers is using newer programming languages, creating a skills gap for many businesses.
Smart companies have recruitment and succession plans, of course. What they don't have is access to an adequate supply of workers with the technical expertise they need.
That's a problem. Computer technology plays a critical role in virtually every company and industry and virtually every activity, from payroll, production, and supply-chain management to product design and development. Add to this the multiplying volume of code, the mounting technical requirements, the growing demand for technologies tailored to specific applications, and the increasingly complex ways in which code is used, and you realize how critically important software talent has become.
Software talent is also hard to come by. In 2012, for example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that demand for software engineers in the U.S. outpaced supply by 35,000 positions. The gap between the supply of and demand for software talent is only going to get wider. "Demand is expected to grow at more than 20 percent per year through 2022—a six-fold increase," according to a new Boston Consulting Group report titled "Code Wars".
Fast-rising demand is just one problem. From a management standpoint, the issue is more complex, because software, like most everything else, has become a world of specialization, with the largest shortfalls looming in the areas of computer security, enterprise applications, systems networking, and storage.
The security field presents an especially daunting challenge, as eBay, Target, and others have learned this past year, with some 200,000 software security positions currently unfilled in the U.S.
Meeting America's needs for software talent will require a large-scale effort, involving both the boardroom and the classroom. In the near term, the report suggests, companies' best bet is to make the most of existing talent through training, retraining, and providing attractive career paths for software talent.
Longer term, options include the use of third-party talent; collaborating with local universities, where possible, to create a talent pipeline; and building "in-house software organizations" in established tech centers. Wal-Mart Stores, for instance, has opened two e-commerce offices in Silicon Valley. A number of major manufacturers also are setting up shop there.
A big part of the challenge will be to show coming generations that working with computer technology is cool. As John Diaz reported recently in the San Francisco Chronicle, that's something they're starting to take seriously in Silicon Valley. Companies everywhere need to do likewise. Their success could depend on it.

Note from Shannon: Please welcome Bonni, CFH Customer Service Representative and Cultured Kitchen-Keeper.
I've been culturing for years. You'd think I would be ready to take on any culturing task. Not so! Yes, I get nervous every single time I try something new. I've fermented sauerkraut and dilly beans using our recipes, but I was still nervous making our salsa recipe for the first time.
Recently I decided to try my hand and making cheese, beginning with chèvre. I've heard it was really easy. Still, I made my husband hang in the kitchen with me. To my surprise, it really was easy…even easier than I expected.

A local program that provides free legal counsel in domestic matters for residents living in poverty continues to grow to meet increased need.
The McCracken Family Court Domestic Relations Clinic gives free legal advice once a month in a one-on-one format in matters of family law including divorce, child custody, visitation and support. The program began in June 2012 thanks to a $10,000 grant renewed yearly from the Kentucky Bar Association and has continued to flourish with funds doubling in size to $20,000 in June 2013, according to Natalie Bash, managing attorney at Kentucky Legal Aid Paducah office.
She said oftentimes the issues raised are simple questions about filing paperwork, legal precedents and courtroom etiquette that help to streamline the court process. Clinics are available for low-income individuals and families, classified within the federal poverty guidelines of more than 110 percent of their income, a number that varies depending on the number of people in a given residence.
"The need is definitely bigger than we imagined with those needing assistance," she said. "These classes are a way to help people learn about the system and reduce stoppages in the courtroom."
Bash said the number of attendees ranges from about 10-15 per month but has increased in each of the past six months. The volunteers aided 161 clients in 2013, and organizers expect that number to increase as awareness increases. The meetings also are open to those who have come in the past for follow-up queries.
About a dozen Paducah family law attorneys volunteer their time with seven at each monthly session. Practicing attorneys are also the primary source of monetary donations to the philanthropic arm of the state bar association, which funds the clinics.
"People have preconceived ideas about lawyers being heartless and greedy, but our local lawyers have been more than compassionate," Bash said. "They saw a need and have responded. It's a testament to the generosity of the profession."
The idea began as a collaboration between Bash and McCracken County Family Court Judge Cynthia Sanderson, who saw a need for a service to provide free advice for those who don't qualify for Kentucky Legal Aid. Sanderson used the example of a separated couple without children, who are in need of a non-contested divorce but cannot afford the legal costs.
"It's a tremendous help to those who haven't participated in the court system to help them navigate it," she said. "We have seen the need continue to increase, and the legal aid office couldn't meet those needs."
Organizers commend the uniqueness of the program's beginnings and its relationship with the McCracken County Bar Association, which is different from similar programs in larger Kentucky cities of Louisville and Lexington.
"We want to put this public service out there as much as possible to reach more people," she said. "It's such a worthwhile way to spend a couple hours and is provided at no charge."
The next free clinic is set from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday in the second floor conference room of the McCracken County Public Library on Washington Street. Additional sessions are scheduled for Feb. 11, March 11, April 8, May 13 and June 5. Clients should pre-register by calling 270-442-5518.

Arms in the air, fists thrusting and flashing her signature smile, Sofia Mulanovich (PER) claimed the Roxy Jam UK title, her third win on this year's ASP World Championship Tour, in Perranporth, Cornwall today.
Mulanovich defeated close friend Chelsea Georgeson (AUS) 13.65 to 10.15 in the final held in three foot (1m) waves this afternoon.
"I'm really, really, really thrilled – so excited about everything that has happened here," Mulanovich said. "Chelsea pushed me through the whole event. She's a great surfer and it was a pretty tough final – I just got the waves. If Chels would have got them she probably would have nailed me."
Having won two previous events on the 2005 WCT this year – the SPC Pro in Bells Beach and the Roxy Pro in Fiji – Mulanovich's victory at the Roxy Jam UK presented by Samsung extends her ratings lead substantially. She's now matched the three event wins that earned her a world title last year, and is well and truly on the road to repeating that feat, but there are nine events on this year's tour, two more than last year.
"I'm pretty confident, I've actually been pretty confident since Bells. I think when you have your first win it kind of sets the pace for the year and I'm just stoked I won here," Mulanovich said.
"My biggest threat is Chelsea. Even last year, when Rochelle was second, I still thought, 'Chels is so good, she could've got me'. I know it's going to be a good battle this year – I would never assume it's over now, she's fired up and she wants to get me back."
Conditions during the Roxy Jam final found an encroaching tide fattening the waves and flustering the girls at the beginning of the 35-minute heat. It wasn't until 23-minutes into the heat, when Mulanovich sped down the open face of a wave throwing buckets of spray and performing a critical backhand re-entry, that a score in the 'excellent' range was rewarded. Georgeson never regained the lead.
"It would have been cool to get some higher scores and get a bit better waves, but that's not what happened out there today," Georgeson said. "It's always more fun when you come up against your friend. You always want to beat them, it's so nerve racking but at the same time exciting. It was a good final." Georgeson's runner-up finish keeps her in contention for the 2005 title crown, and she maintains her second place spot on the ASP world rankings. Layne Beachley, who lost to Georgeson in the semis, sits in third.
"Sof is in first and I'm in second, I think she's like {{{900}}} points ahead of me, but I'm still within reach. We've both had some really good results this year, she's had three wins, and I've only had one," Georgeson said.
"It would have been good to come up and become even with her but it's not the case and we still have quite a few events left which is good for me. I'm hoping that maybe I'll be able to win the next two in a row, but it's a big call."
Rookie Rebecca Woods (AUS) also made the semifinals of the Roxy Jam today. Woods, who surfed excellently throughout the event, was unable to answer Mulanovich's charge but is gaining valuable experience having made the semifinals of the last two events.
"I just wanted to get out of the third round so I'm happy, but at the same time I'd love to make a final. It keeps me hungry. But well done to Sof, she's killing it," Woods said.
Woods and Beachley took home US$4,250 for their third place finishes and Georgeson grabbed US$6,000. Mulanovich will add another US$10,000 cardboard check to her collection for her efforts.
Evian also doled out several thousand dollars today. The Evian Longboard Expression Session was surfed just prior to the main event semifinals with top honors and US$1,500 going to Roxy rider Kassia Meador. The Evian Shortboard Expression Session took to the water between the semifinal and final and found Woods winning another US$2,500.
1 – Sofia Mulanovich, 6716 points
2 – Chelsea Georgeson 5300 points
3 – Layne Beachley 4736 points
4 – Megan Abubo 4204 points
5 – Melanie Redmann-Carr 3696 points
(1st =1200 ratings points and US$10,000, 2nd receives 920 ratings points and US$6,000)
Sofia Mulanovich def. Chelsea Georgeson
(1st advances to FINAL, 2nd finishes equal 3rd and receives US$4,250)

Baking Basics: Gluten-free Flour Blends
When I started baking gluten-free, I went through a big learning curve to understand the properties of various gluten-free flours, and how to mix them to get the results I wanted. I studied cookbooks, took some gluten-free cooking classes, and did a lot of experimenting. Ultimately, I arrived at some basic conclusions that I think you'll find are helpful.
Now, I know what you're thinking: there are so many gluten-free flour blends available to buy these days, why bother mixing your own? While I agree there are many excellent "all-purpose" blends out there, consider that professional bakers would not use a "one-size fits all" approach for everything from cakes to bread. It simply doesn't work as well as using cake flour for cake, or bread flour for bread. Similarly, I have yet to find a gluten-free flour blend that works well for every application. They also tend to be expensive. So, I mix my own.
A Tale of Two Flours: Protein/Fiber Flours vs. Starches
Most gluten-free flours fall into one of two types of flour: those that are what I refer to as protein or fiber flours (which includes rice flour, bean flour, nut flour, sorghum flour, millet flour, and several others) and starches (such as tapioca starch, potato starch, corn starch, arrowroot starch, and sweet rice flour).
Protein/fiber flours provide structure, stability, flavor, color, texture, and nutrition. Some are very mild in flavor, color and texture, and therefore very versatile for baking. These flours, such as brown and white rice flour, sorghum flour, millet flour, and chestnut flour, are great "primary" flours to use as a base for your blend. Others add a variety of flavors, colors, and textures to baked goods, and are often highly nutritious.
Starches are very fine in texture and cause baked goods to be lighter with a softer crumb and smoother texture. Certain starches, such as tapioca starch, help brown and crisp baked goods, while sweet rice flour will increase the pliability of rolled dough – a necessary quality for making pie-crusts or cookie dough.
Successful gluten-free baking, however, begins with using the right flour blend – using both protein/fiber flours and starches together to get good results. Protein/fiber flours are are heavy and baked goods end up very dense. Starches alone can not provide enough structure for baked goods to hold their shape. The right combination can produce excellent results, often indistinguishable from baked goods made with wheat. The trick, though, is knowing what blend to use, depending on what you are trying to make. After much trial and error, here are some simple guidelines that seem to work.
Blending Guidelines
- Use an appropriate ratio of protein/fiber flours to starches. In my experience, the following ratios work best:
- Yeast bread, biscuits, pizza crust: 1 cup of protein/fiber flour for every 1-1 1/4 cup of starch
- Muffins, cakes, pancakes: 2 cups of protein/fiber flour for every 1 cup of starch
- Piecrusts, crackers, cookies: 2 cups of protein/fiber flour for every 1 cup of starch
- Exploit the characteristics of different flours to enhance the desired result:
- Yeast bread, biscuits, pizza crust: base flours such as sorghum and millet work well in bread and biscuits, providing mild flavors and soft crumb. Rice flour tends to make dense loaves of bread, but adds a nice crispiness to pizza crusts. Gluten-free Oat flour, Montina flour, corn flour and others add wonderful favors and textures to bread.
- Muffins, cakes, pancakes: base flours such as sorghum and millet work well, providing mild flavors and soft crumb. Rice flour works, but can create a grainy texture, especially if the product is refrigerated. High fiber flours, such as nut flour, GF oat flour, flaxseed meal, and bean flours, work exceptionally well in muffins and pancakes.
- Pie-crusts, crackers, cookies: brown and white rice flours work the best when the final product is crispy, crumbly, crunchy, and/or chewy. Nut flours and bean flours add flavor and texture.
- Select just a few base flours you want to use that are easy to find, relatively inexpensive, and will work in many applications. Watch out for strongly flavored flours (such as bean flours) and allergens (such as nut flours), especially if you are baking for others. Experiment with other flours and have fun creating your own unique flour blends.
Example Flour Blends
Basic "White" Bread Flour Blend (1:1 ratio)
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 3/4 cup sweet rice flour
- 1 1/2 cup sorghum flour
- 1 cup millet flour
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1 1/4 cup potato starch
- for pizza crust, increase rice flour by 1 cup, decrease sorghum and millet flours by a 1/2 cup each
- instead of brown rice flour, try gluten-free oat flour, Montina flour, or amaranth flour
Muffin/Cake Blend (2:1 ratio)
- 1 cup sorghum flour
- 1 cup millet flour
- 1/2 cup potato starch
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
Variations for muffins:
- reduce sorghum or millet flour by 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup of bean, nut flour or GF oat flour
- reduce sorghum or millet flour by 1/4 cup and add flaxseed meal or coconut flour
Cookie/Cracker Blend (2:1 ratio)
- 1/3 cup sweet rice flour
- 2 cups rice flour (brown or white)
- 1/3 cup potato starch
- 1/3 cup tapioca starch
- use white rice flour for light colored cookies, such as sugar cookies
- use brown rice flour for drop cookies, such as chocolate chip
- reduce the rice flour by 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup nut flour or bean flour for drop cookies

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Grammy-winning blues artist Kevin Moore, known better as Keb'Mo, is teaming up with the Vanderbilt Accelerator Summer Business Institute to take the blues forward into the next decade.
Accelerator students will develop a plan to expand Moore's reach through the Yolabelle label— increasing record sales, fan engagement and fan base. They will also brainstorm ways to encourage collaborations across brands, and create strategies applicable to artists on the Yolabelle imprint.
The Accelerator Summer Business Institute is an intense month long business boot camp run by the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management. In the program, college students and recent graduates from across the country are immersed in a competitive business environment, working to create the winning solution to real challenges from top local and national companies. The students hone essential skills in marketing, sales, finance, real estate, research and corporate strategy, while participating companies receive the brainpower, creativity and proposals from several teams of highly motivated millennials.
The Keb'Mo' project will launch on June 4 at 3 p.m. at Green's Grocery. Keb'Mo' and Blue Mother Tupelo will perform acoustic sets, followed by presentations and a question and answer session by A&R and business development representatives of Yolabelle.
Final presentations will take place at 8 a.m. on June 12 at Averbuch Auditorium at the Owen Graduate School of Management. Please contact Amy Wolf if you'd like to attend either event.
Other Accelerator projects include:
- Bridgestone Americas – Bridgestone Americas recently announced its One Team, One Planet Spent Tire Program, a waste-free vision for the future of the tire industry, with the goal to recycle or repurpose one spent tire for every new tire sold. The challenge for the Accelerator teams is to design and implement an innovation forum to gather new and innovative ideas for recovering and reusing spent tires.
- Captain D's – Captain D's plans to build a customer loyalty program to draw new diners to the restaurants, reward existing customers for dining more often. The challenge for the Accelerator teams is to identify best practices of other loyalty programs and design a program best suited to the needs of Captain D's.
- Thistle Farms – Thistle Farms is an artisanal bath product manufacturer run by women who have survived lives of prostitution, trafficking, addiction and life on the streets. The group's next project is to create a business plan for the Thistle Stop Café, a coffee shop offering entertainment, introducing visitors to the work of Thistle Farms, employing Magdalene House residents, and serving as an event and education space.
To follow the progress of the Accelerator students and their projects, visit the Vanderbilt Accelerator Summer Business Institute page on Facebook.

Oblivion Feedback
Kicking off with Jericho and The Great was really the only option after last week, and I liked what he had to say for the most part. I have to assume this promo was influenced by some of the real life stuff between Jericho and Michaels from a few years back, as many of the comments regarding Jericho being honest and upset that Michaels was cheered for attacking him were relatable to that timeframe. But it worked well here, really putting over Jerichos worthiness as it were. Perhaps dragged on a wee bit long, but it the content and message it put across was fine. Heyman on the otherhand was very much the opposite, Id have liked to have heard a bit more from him. But the announcement of the title match at the special sounds pretty mega, should be a great one to read. Hmmm very intrigued by the fact Jericho stopped the attack, and especially that save it for the unworthy line. That would suggest Heyman is worthy afterall? Swerve turn to reveal Heyman and Jericho are in cahoots perhaps? Id be all over that if it happens.
Solid enough start to things, perhaps not as good as previous weeks, but good enough.
Not so sure the relevance of Christian and TWGTT speaking, seemed a tad random. The putdown made sense though, although once again there seemed to be quite the touch of aggression from Haas and Benjamin. I doubt youd have Christian interfere in the main event given what youve done with the tag scene thus far, so Im gonna have to say I dunno where this was going, unless it tips Christian over the edge and he gets real pissed off with things.
Im glad you explained the rules before this match, and Im interested in what you can come out with given its no count out. The action was pretty cool, liked that little opening paragraph, and also liked the amount of near falls at the end. Both men came out of the match looking great, and I liked the way you had Rey put Bryan over after the bell. I perhaps would have wanted to see a bit more stuff on the outside given the match rules, but the action was exciting and was a good opener. Helms has quickly became a favourite of this thread for me, but Im a sucker for a catchy catchphrase. Helms really established himself here as a force to be reckoned with, but Danielson appears like the star in the making given how the match turned out.
Gotta admit, found this segment very strange. Dont see why Lance would let Punk take his spot really, and while Punk and Finlay will no doubt be a solid match, surely Storm would want in on that. Also didnt understand why after claiming he was worried about interference he would then stand aside. This didnt really work for me tbh.
London and Kendrick was much more like it, and I think you captured that kinda goofy character they both have well. Certainly a striking contrast to how straight-laced Haas and Benjamin were earlier. Although London saying nor seemed a bit off. Miz has been pretty sweet in this thread, gives a good contrast to goodie two shoes Torrie. Much better than the segment that preceded it.
Damn, brutal stuff between Finlay and Joe. Loved that spot with the crashing through the dry wall, and I was half expecting someone to take a dive off the balcony the way this was going. Really added a bit of spice to this match, should be rough as hell when the two finally meet.
Punk/Storm makes sense of course, but again I still dont see what the segment earlier was for. A simple challenge from Punk or something would have done it, and saved Lance from looking poor earlier. Anyway, another good match here, but pretty spoiled by the DQ ending. Not been Lance Storms night at all has it?
While I understand you following on from the Burchill bit from last week, and Burchill and Albright sounds like a real good team, I dunno why you choose the DQ. Could have just as easy gave us a finish and then had this.
Yeah, I havent a clue who this guy is.
Must be big stuff is hes getting the video package build up though.
Burchill and Albright as guns for hire makes sense, and of course their first client would be the richest guy on the roster. As for making him look like a gentlemen, plz dont do some stupid English stereotype. Would ruin it imo. I trust you not to, but fair warning man, I quit if I see a bowler hat.
And main event time. Really enjoyed the action here, and you seemed to be going for a kinda contrast in styles with the two teams, as Kendrick and London seemed much more about the high flying while Haas and Benjamin were a bit more rugged in their attacks. Also loved some of the double team combos, particularly that powerbomb/seated senton thing. That 450 onto the ladder sounded horrific tbh. Omg, Worlds Greatest Doomsday Device~! Sick move. Haas and Benjamin win, I got no problems with that at all, as they always were presented as the more aggressive of the two teams during the feud, so makes sense they would win. I dunno how you could top this tbh, as after three great matches and with a rubber match like that, there cant be much else for these two teams to do. Anyway, it absolutely stole the show. Great stuff.
Overall, just another very good show, besides the Finlay/Joe/Punk/Storm set up which I didnt like. Also didnt like how apart from the opening segment there was little mention of Jericho, Michaels and Van Dam. But as always, the in ring action sparkled and there was plenty of positives. Keep it going man, that 2 hour show is shaping up very nicely indeed.

Some one over at LG seems to be determined to build up as much anticipation possible for its new line of Android phones coming in 2011. Yesterday we had a video showing off its LU3000, and today we have pictures of the LGP990 or what will be known as the LG Star.
Someone rocked up on AndroidForums.com yesterday evening and published seven new photos of the device, which had previously been glimpsed earlier this month. The AndroidForums user told the world he had managed to get his hands on two of these handsets but was reticent about unveiling the release date for the LG Star though he appeared to know it, stating: "I think I can't disclose that."
What we do know about the LG Star (previously known as the LG Optimus Star) is that it has a 4in capacitive touchscreen and will be one of the first Android handsets to boast the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. The power of this was also in evidence in another picture which showed the Quadrant test being run on the phone. The Quadrant benchmark tests the CPU, memory, I/O and graphical capabilities of a device. This handset runs considerably faster than other Android 2.2 devices such as the Nexus One, Motorola Droid X and HTC Desire HD.
While the device on display is running a slightly tweaked version of Froyo it is conceivable that the phone will have Gingerbread installed by the time it makes it to market in early 2011. Another important feature of the phone is a HDMI port which, before these photos came to light, was not known about. The phone has an 8-megapixel camera at the rear.
No doubt as the release date gets closer and closer we will see more and more photos/videos/specs leaked. With CES 2011 just around the corner, LG could be ready to unveil a slew of handsets at the Las Vegas show – and TrustedReviews will be on hand to bring you all the latest news.

Joe Ogilvie may have said it best: "She's better than Tiger was at 16. I played with Tiger, and Tiger wasn't this good. Everybody is like, 'Win, win, win.' She's 16. Chill out. Once she gets to winning, you'll get sick of her winning."
I'm not a raving, ranting Michelle Wie fan. I'd like to see her win a tournament. I'd like to see her learn to crush opponents. I'd like to see her spend some more time competing against her peers.
But don't put me in the camp of Wie detractors, either, and I'm sick of hearing from those who are.
Michelle Wie is getting flagged left and right this year, her first as a professional golfer, for everything she does. She nearly throws up from heat exhaustion after playing in an LPGA major, a 36-holes-per-day LPGA match play event, and a PGA Tour event in 90° heat and the detractors want to label her a "quitter." They use her heat exhaustion as some sort of proof that she doesn't belong on the PGA Tour. "Play the LPGA!" they yell.
Wie detractors conveniently forget that she's only allowed to play in six LPGA Tour events per year. She's either not asked to be granted membership or (the smart money says) she's been told not to bother to ask by LPGA Commissioners Ty Votaw and Carolyn Bivens (witness Bivens' ambivalence towards getting Michelle Wie to play in her events more often). Michelle Wie is playing against the women on the LPGA Tour as often as she is allowed.
Though I would have preferred Michelle Wie remain an amateur until 17 or 18, and though I would have preferred she "learn to win" against her amateur peers, I can accept that a bird in the hand (or $10M) beats two in the bush (potential future earnings?). I can accept that Michelle Wie (and her parents) is interested in forging her own path, not listening to what others think she should do simply because "Tiger Woods did it that way."
Consider this chart, showing the place both Michelle Wie and the not-even-up-for-discussion best women's golfer in the world, Annika Sorenstam, finished in each of the past four women's majors. In parentheses, the number of people that beat them, and at the end, the total.
British Kraft LPGA U.S. Open Wie T3 (2) T3 (2) T5 (4) T3 (2) = 10 Sorenstam T5 (4) T6 (5) T9 (8) 1 (0) = 17
Clearly, the girl has talent. Yes, she's winless to this point; she's sixteen and Natalie Gulbis (at the ripe old age of 23) also remains winless despite showing plenty of potential, yet she suffers nowhere near the level of scrutiny Michelle Wie endures.
Many are simply bitter, however, that she's "taking a spot from a deserving man" on the PGA Tour each time she plays (this year, three times). These complaints are silly. Sponsor's exemptions are typically used in one of two ways: as favors (witness Arnold Palmer's grandson getting a sponsor's invite to the 2006 Bay Hill) or to drum up interest.
The John Deere Classic, scheduled one week before The British Open, is one of the most poorly attended events on the PGA Tour schedule. Most top-ranked players are in Europe preparing for The Open Championship. Michelle Wie's invitation results in a win-win-win-win. The tournament wins by increasing attendance and media coverage. The local charities win with increased donations. The fans win by getting to see some unique talent. And finally, golfers win because our sport is placed atop the sports world, and not because of a drug scandal, sexual misconduct, or crime, but because a special girl has a special talent.
Michelle Wie's PGA Tour goals may be low - "I think I can make the cut this year" she said last week, but they're awfully lofty for a 16-year old playing on the PGA Tour. Though she's currently batting .000 (0-for-5) many forget that Tiger was 0-for-6 and didn't make a cut on the PGA Tour until he was 19. The experience she's gained playing PGA Tour courses under tournament pressure will no doubt serve her well in the future. She - and others - have said "playing courses like this makes the courses on the LPGA seem easier." I can't argue with that logic.
Unfortunately, many feel that they can, and so they do. Each and every time the name "Michelle Wie" appears in the news, these boo-birds leap to the fore, shouting down a young girl's efforts to make something of herself. Golf is an honorable sport, yet "fans" like these fail to bring honor to themselves.
While I may not agree with all the decisions this young girl has made, I cannot find fault in her decision to take $10M when it's offered to her, to seize the opportunity to play tough courses when presented with the chance, nor her inordinate ability, which clearly places her near the top of the LPGA Tour already.
As Joe Ogilvie said, "Chill out. Once she gets to winning, you'll get sick of her winning." Chill out, folks.

i think my transmission may have just blown
so i was driving home from work and i stopped at a red and when it turned green i started driving again (i didn't gun it, i drove it nice and normal) there was a clunk and a grinding noise. it originally sounded like a wheel on the pavement and thats what i thought it was (my tires are really bad right now) until i pulled over and all four were still intact so i looked under my car and there was a fluid leaking. i was really close to my house and since there was no one to come tow me and my insurance company is a bunch of dicks i drove it home and the weird part was that it shifted fine just sounded really bad intermediately . when i got home i immediately jacked it up to find out what the liquid was and it was coolant. i don't have any lights on on the dash except and airbag one and the coolant one (coolant sensor is broken when i had to change the expansion tank so i monitor it every few days and i filled it up last night so i know it was full). anyone know what the hell happened to my car?
Stupid f**king plastic parts!

Local artist Diane Hansen is bringing home a beloved tradition made famous in Paris thanks to her new public art installation titled "The Locks." The concept is inspired by her travels through Paris and the magical Pont des Arts bridge near the Louvre, where couples write their names on a padlock, secure it to the bridge and throw the key into the Seine River in a showing of love and loyalty to each other. The tradition has since spread throughout the world and finally made its way from the City of Light to the City of Destiny.
"The Locks" is located on the 'A' Street Passageway, a pedestrian walkway between South 25th and South 26th. Hansen invites the community to get involved in the project by securing their own padlocks to the project's two large-scale columns. The padlock can represent a bond of love, a special wish or a variety of other intentions. Legend has it that when passenger trains travel near the padlocks, it creates a magnetic field that energizes the locks, turning the wishes into realities. "I wanted this project to really resonate with people's childlike wonder," Hansen said. "I want to take them back to that time when you're little and believe in magic and hope and love."
During a Nov. 21 dedication celebration, Hansen will supply padlocks and embellishments to allow people to design their own unique locks. "This will be a great, feel-good experience for everybody," Hansen said. "This project creates a really strong community experience where we can all bond with Tacoma and with each other in a meaningful and lasting way."
The success of the project itself relies on the participation of the people, she adds. "This piece is all about the community, and the more locks we have, the more powerful it will be," she said.
The dedication celebration takes place at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 21.
Padlocks are limited, and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, search "Lock-On Tacoma" on Facebook.
Other highlights coming up during Art at Work Month include:
The BareFoot Collective – the group will be performing a contemporary dance program called "Autumn Dances" throughout November. What is unique about the program is that, instead of performing in a theater, they are taking dance out into the community and doing it for free. They will be performing at the Tacoma Public Library's main branch, located at 1102 Tacoma Ave. on Nov. 16; The Mix (635 St. Helens Ave.) on Nov. 19; and N. Dybevik Piano Co. (located near 13th and MLK Way) on Nov. 21. All events are free, but donations are appreciated.
Mt. Tahoma Storytelling Guild – The group is celebrating "Tellabration!" a night of storytelling celebrated worldwide. The program will feature an eclectic concert of stories that will appeal to storytelling fans ages 10 years and older. The event takes place at 7:30 p.m. at Antique Sandwich Company, located at 5102 N. Pearl St. Admission is $5.
Puget Sound Book Artists – The group is holding a Members' Exhibit and Orientation to PSBA on Nov. 16 at University of Puget Sound's Collins Memorial Library. Meet with members of the Puget Sound Book Artists organization and learn about activities and workshops. Visitors can also browse through the "mini" exhibit of unique artists' books and enjoy a short paper-folding activity. A Jennifer Kennard exhibit will also on be display in Collins Library. A book arts lecture will follow the event, which takes place from 12:30-2 p.m. Admission is free.
Working Class Theatre NW (a Spaceworks Tacoma project): Working Class Theatre NW will be holding a series of show readings at the Old Post Office on Nov. 15, 16, 22, and 23. The events will feature readings from the theater's upcoming season including "Zoo Story," "ENRON," "Life in the Theatre," "Sunset Limited," "School for Lies," and "Tracers." Each evening features a reading of a different play. The Old Post Office is located at 1102 'A' St. All events take place at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Your Rossignol Diva opinion
Hi everyone,
I apologize it's "another beginner thread" but I would love you guys to share your expert opinion. I tried snowboarding last year and I loved it so bad I wanna get my own board. I don't want to get an expensive board but more like OK board that will survive in the next few years without sending me to the hospital. I found an amazing deal for Rossignol Diva board and I want you guys to give me your opinion about its quality. I tried to google it but came across different feedback so I am lost. Thank you for you time.

One of the most traditional activities when someone goes to Hawaii is to go to a luau. A luau is a traditional Hawaiian feast. The concept of a luau started in 1819 by King Kamehameha II of Hawaii to symbolize the end of religious taboos connected with dining. Today, the luaus that we can attend will have traditional Hawaiian foods and a variety of Hawaiian entertainment that celebrate the islands' people and culture. When you go to Disney's Aulani, you'll definately want to attend one of the luaus that they offer as an excursion.
Germaine's Luau is offered everyday except Mondays, prices start at $52.00 and lasts 3 hours and 30 minutes. This luau was chosen as "Hawaii's Best" by the readers of Honolulu Star Bulletin, Midweek and listed in "America's Best 100". You will be traditionally welcomed with Hawaiian Shell Lei and watch the Royal Cout of Polynesia enter. The following are all included with your luau price:
- Royal Court presentation & Imu ceremony
- "All you can eat" multicourse Hawaiian/American buffet dinner
- 3 beverage coupons per adult; unlimited complimentary soft drinks, hot coffee & tea

If you are planning to buy various kinds of furniture, Storehouse Furniture is a great choice for all your furnishing needs. The designs of the furniture items they have are known for their sophistication, though the prices are always reasonable. This is plain enough to see just from their catalog. You can avail of a Storehouse Furniture Catalog online, or you can get a Storehouse Catalog from any of their retail outlets.
Narrowing Down Your Options
If you ever go online for your furniture shopping needs, you may easily get overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices you have available. Perhaps your wisest course of action is to first determine what you actually need, as opposed to what you may simply want. This may help prevent you from making any unnecessary purchases. You should also set yourself with a firm budget, so that you know just how much you can afford to spend. A firm budget can also narrow down your options much more quickly.
A catalog from any reputable furniture manufacturer can help you identify the kind and style of furnishing you need, and at the same time it will also give you a general idea of the cost. If you have set your eye on a specific kind of Storehouse contemporary furniture, you may use that as a reference when you consider the offerings from other companies.
Making your inspection
Sometimes, however, a catalog is not enough as a basis for a furniture purchase. For minor purchases such as for Storehouse furniture slipcovers, a catalog may suffice. For larger pieces of furniture, you may need to have the actual piece in front of you. As this is a major purchase that involves a considerable amount of your hard-earned money, it makes sense that you should inspect your potential purchase.
Make sure that the material is strong enough to carry the weight it was designed for. Do your research regarding the durability of the material, and find out for how long the warranty lasts. Ask your friends and elicit their opinions. Check out the customer reviews in various reputable and independent review websites as well.
Trying It Out
Before you make the decision to buy, you first need to try out the furniture as extensively as you can. If you are buying a bed, try to ask for permission to actually lie on the bed you are considering of buying. Perform your customary sleeping positions and turns, and check for creaks and squeaks. Such noises may indicate poor quality. If you are denied permission to try out the furniture, then it may be wise for you to consider your other options rather than gamble on the quality of an untested furniture item from just a catalog.
Storehouse Furniture is known for quality and affordability, so make sure that you consider them when shopping for furniture pieces.

I just had a cool idea, it's been done so it't not really that cool but anyway here's what i'm going to do. I was previously looking at the oem guage pack so i was looking into getting one, then my cd player breaks.... hmm, welll i'll either warranty or just get a new one, but as i was taking it out I realized what i should do. make a blank silver faceplate and put 3 guages in it along with like intercooler spray switch and some other switches
maybe even boost controller if it could all fit in there, then just put my cd player in the glove compartment. Sound like a good idea? i'm sure people have done this so does anyone have pics of anything similar?

Voters in the Jordan School District resoundingly rejected a proposed half-billion dollar bond, the biggest ever in Utah.
The Jordan School Board was seeking approval for a $495 million bond to build and remodel schools, buy land, erect a new south transportation facility and replace the Jordan Applied Technical Center.
Board President Richard Osborn called the vote "kind of shortsighted."
"We'll take care of the kids somehow," Osborn said. "It just won't be what we had planned."
Only 33 percent of voters cast ballots for the bond, according to unofficial results.
The bond would have meant a property tax increase of up to $10 monthly for every $100,000 value for homeowners, according to estimates. That would have meant a maximum of $300 per year on the average home in the district, valued at $248,000, and $546 per year for the average business.
The district's student population has boomed, rocketing to 51,000 students, with more than 2,000 new students expected this fall and 29,000 during the next decade.
Osborn said the failure of the bond will mean more busing and students housed in portable classrooms. Some schools will likely have to go year-round, he said.
The board put the issue to voters after a survey showed it would pass, but opposition grew in recent days.
The mayors of South Jordan, Riverton and Bluffdale came out against the massive bond, and Bluffdale's elected leaders sent a letter to residents this past weekend urging a vote against the bond. The Utah Taxpayers Association jumped into the fray, passing out lawn signs opposing the bond.
In Taylorsville, 53 percent of voters favored joining the Unified Fire Service Area (UFSA). Proponents and opponents had been split on whether being part of UFSA would save money and improve service.
In other measures, Orem residents were giving the nod, in early results, to a proposal to renew the Cultural Arts and Recreation Enrichment (CARE) tax. But early results had voters rejecting a property tax adjustment that would raise an additional $1.7 million a year for municipal operations.
Kaysville voters approved a grass-roots initiative to require that all power-department revenues be used only to fund the department's operations, and not for other city expenses.
In Carbon County, East Carbon and Sunnyside residents overwhelmingly agreed to merge the two cities.
Hyde Park voters decided overwhelmingly that the Maverik convenience store in town can sell beer. The City Council had approved the city's first-ever beer sales a year ago, but a citizens group got up a referendum in opposition.

August 27, 2014 By Rochelle Moore, McClatchy News Service
Anita Brown-Graham, the director of the Institute for Emerging Issues, told Wilson Rotarians Monday that manufacturing is a changing industry that continues to be a major driving force of North Carolina's economy.
Traditional manufacturing jobs of the past are not as common today as manufacturing has become more technology driven with highly skilled workers.
"Although we may think that manufacturing is dead, the reality is manufacturing remains North Carolina's largest industry sector, contributing more to our state GDP than any other sector," Brown-Graham said. "And perhaps, most importantly, manufacturing offers the biggest rate of return for the economy."
For every dollar of manufacturing industry output, $1.35 to $1.43 of wealth is created elsewhere in the economy. The second biggest rate of return in the economy is found in financing with 88 cents being created by every dollar of output, she said.

Window Sweat
I have one sweating window in the house. These windows were installed originally when the house was built in 1998. It could be 98 degrees with 15% humidity or as high as 100 DEGREES WITH NO HUMIDITY. It could be between 15 to 50 degrees during the winter time. It does not matter. Basically ALL YEAR long this window sweats. Thought about a heat gun to eliminate the sweat. I believe it is between the two panes of glass. Any help??
If it's between the two panes, then the seal is broken. You may want to see if you can remove the sash and replace just that, or the whole window, depending upon ease. Wood? Vinyl? What material and mfg.? Photos always help here.
The window is vinyl. Manufacturer?? Your guess is as good as mine, No label anywhere on the window. I am just going to call it a cheap manufacturer window.
Nothing on the glass?
Correct. Nothing ON the glass. The sweat is between the glass
I understand. Usually, the mnfg. name is etched or printed in a lower corner on the pane itself.
...or possibly a sticker inside the frame. You may be able to find it with the window opened.
Seal failure it is.
How old is the window? Could be covered under warranty. Like DM said, look for an etching on the glass or a sticker on the side of the sash or inside the head jamb pocket.

As Expected, Audi A1 Sportback Nears Production. Spied in Matte Red.
by, 08-29-2011 at 03:07 PM (7696 Views)
Check out this shot we found over on BlogAutomobile.fr. Yes, this is the A1 5-door, expected to be dubbed Sportback. Unlike other Sportbacks based on hatchbacks (really just the A3), the A1 appears more to be a 5--door take on the usual A1 greenhouse... more like the original A3 design than the current one with unique greenhouse and rear bodywork.

Conference on building safe, healthy, and livable communities
The ways in which our communities are currently being designed (e.g., roads with no sidewalks) have made it difficult for people to engage in regular moderate physical activity. While healthier land use planning and development are beginning to be implemented in isolated instances, these practices are far from business-as-usual. To make healthier land use planning the standard rather than the exception, local governments must change their planning practices. To address this problem, local government leaders must be inspired to change city and county land use practices. The local leaders who spearhead this movement in their communities need support from their constituents and professional supporters. This grant will support the Local Government's Commission (LGC) New Partners for Smart Growth: Building Safe, Healthy and Livable Communities conference, in January 2002. The program for this conference will further advance the discussion on smart growth issues, while continuing the theme of implementing a multidisciplinary approach to building safe, healthy and livable communities. This grant will provide the LGC support to ensure that health and older adults issues are interwoven into the conference agenda and support the training of select youth leaders in the area of design of healthy, livable communities. This project will be considered successful if it results in advancing non-traditional partnerships and new projects with the health community as measured by the post-conference survey.

Definition of delve

archaic : excavate
intransitive verb
1 : to dig or labor with or as if with a spade delved into her handbag in search of a pen
2a : to make a careful or detailed search for information delved into the pastb : to examine a subject in detail the book delves into the latest research won't delve into her reason for leaving

Examples of delve in a Sentence
He tried to delve inside his memory for clues about what had happened.
Did You Know?
We must dig deep into the English language's past to find the origins of "delve." The verb originated in 9th century Old English as "delfan" and is related to the Old High German word telban, meaning "dig." For some 400 years, there was only delving - no digging - because "dig" didn't exist until the 13th century. Is the phrase "dig and delve" (as in the line "eleven, twelve, dig and delve," from the nursery rhyme that begins "one, two, buckle my shoe") redundant? Not necessarily. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, in some local uses as recently as the late 19th century, "dig" was the term for working with a mattock (a tool similar to an adze or a pick), while "delve" was reserved for using a spade.
Origin and Etymology of delve
Middle English, from Old English delfan; akin to Old High German telban to dig

KHARTOUM, (Xinhua): The number of South Sudanese refugees arriving in Sudan has reached between 40,000 to 42,000, the UN humanitarian affairs office said on Thursday.
A weekly report released by the UN Office says that humanitarian organizations have provided assistance and food for the South Sudanese refugees in border areas between Sudan and South Sudan.
South Sudan has been witnessing violence and armed clashes between government forces of President Salva Kiir Mayardit and rebels loyal to former Vice-President Riek Machar since December last year.
The UN High Commission for Refugees on Wednesday warned against a food crisis in South Sudan.
It said that the crisis would aggravate, as the number of refugees depending on food assistance is estimated to reach about 3.2 million next June.
The commission estimated that about 739,000 people had been displaced within South Sudan as a result of the fighting there. More than 196,000 people have fled the country.

One of the most refined pieces of the event so far was Christian Alvert's chiller Case 39 which stars Renee Zellwegar and old Lovejoy himself Ian McShane. Loud, bleak and stylishly shot, it seemed to mix the atmosphere of The Twilight Zone with the possession themes seen in The Exorcist and The Omen. Not everyone's cup of horror I agree but it was nice to see Zellwegar stretching her acting skills more than usual. Her character of Emily, a Social Worker who helps re-house a child whose parents were trying to kill her was believable. Star has to be Jodelle Ferland who played the young victim. This is a young lady to watch as she gave her character of Lillith mature depth and a real sense of honesty.
