MySQL Database: Multiple XBMC HTPC's with 1 Shared Library - craigd - 2010-11-18 14:34
Since XBMC SVN r28142 MySQL has been supported for hosting the library database so multiple instances of XBMC can connect to and share the same libraray. The original MySQL thread has become a bit large and there are a lot of users having the same issues over and over. With a lot of the info now buried throughout the thread I thought I'd write up a guide on how to set up XBMC to use a MySQL database and guide through some of the more common troubleshooting steps. I've meant to do this for a while so apologies for it taking a while to get up and thanks to all those who contributed to the knowledge contained in this, especially Charrua who has helped a lot of people throughout the original thread.
A lot of the guide may seem obvious to a lot of users but I've tried to write it from the aspect of needing no knowledge of XBMC or MySQL. That said if using this remember it's a new feature which is still developing along with the new database ideas and is intended for people who are fairly confident with configuring it hence why it's only available from advanced settings. The guide will be written primarily from a windows viewpoint, as that is what I'm using, but will try to keep it fairly generic in description so most can follow it. If anyone notices anything missing anyone wants amendments made to the posts just let me know and I'll try to keep this up to date so most of the info is in one place.
I'm at work so can't go through all the steps at the moment but will try to make it as complete as possible over the next few days and continue to update as I can to get all the info in there. If anyone is unable to get it working following these steps post details of your problem with a full debug log and someone
apologies for my lack of input on this been busy elsewhere but Krazypoloc pm'd me re: additional indexes to improve the performance of your mysql db see his post http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=746519&postcount=90 for details and I'll update post 5 if anyone has anything that should be added let me know.
Deciding if MySQL is right for you? - craigd - 2010-11-18 14:35
The first thing you need to do is decide if MySQL is the best option for you. Whilst it has a lot of advantages there are also several disadvantages and other ways to achieve similar results so way up the pros and cons and decide if you really need a shared library at the moment.
New content only needs to be scanned once
Library always consistent on all systems
Update all pc's libraries from one system
Stop watching a video and resume from same point in any room
Watched flags sync across all htpc's
Images do not get stored in database
Profiles not supported so each user will require unique databases if profiles used
If network down no access to library
Can be more problematic to set up
Can be slower than inbuilt local db
Some addons do not support MySQL databases
Slow entry into some views
Setting up MySQL: - craigd - 2010-11-18 14:35
Before you can use a shared database you need to set up a MySQL server for XBMC to connect to. Ideally this should be installed on a PC that will be always on.
Download MySQL Community Server from here
Install MySQL (to follow….)
Configure User (to follow…
Setting up XBMC: - craigd - 2010-11-18 14:36
Once you have a MySQL server to connect to you need to set XBMC to use this instead of the default sqllite database. To do this we need to update the advanced settings to direct it to the MySQL server for the chosen content type.
If you have already created a library it should first be backed up so we can import it into the MySQL database when created. In XBMC go to settings then video then select option "Export Video Library". On the pop choose to export as a "single file" and choose a location to save the backup. It can take quite a while to complete so leave XBMC running and go do something else so you don't get tempted to tinker. Once completed repeat the steps only this time going to settings then music then select option "Export Music Library" and again export as a single file. Once this has been done close xbmc and we will create the settings to change to MySQL.
Go to you userdata folder which can be found in the following locations depending on your OS:
Win XP = c:\ Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\XBMC\
Win7/Vista = c:\ Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\
Linux = $HOME/.xbmc/userdata
Mac = /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata"
and check if the file advancedsettings.xml exists.
If there is no advancedsettings.xml we will need to create it open a new document in a text editor and paste the following then save the file as advancedsettings.xml
once you have an advancedsettings.xml open it in your text editor and insert the following between the <advancedsettings> tags , remember to edit in your own systems details…
for video database…
for music database…
with the following edits…
<type> = mysql
<host> = IP address of the PC MySQL is installed on
<name> = the name to be given to the database schema, these must be unique for each database)
<user> = the username you have set up in MySQL
<pass> = the password for the user you have set up in MySQL
Save the file and close it, you can now open XBMC, when XBMC opens expect it to take a bit longer as it will log on to the MySQL server and create the required database schemas and tables. You should now be ready to create your library.
If you backed up an existing library you can go to settings then video then select "Import Video Library" and navigate to the file you created at the start and import your old library data. Repeat this for music if required. You can then go to your videos files view and set the content on the folders you want in your video library , then go to the music files view and scan the folders you want to be included in your music library.
Finally copy the advancedsettings.xml file, or update the existing advancedsettings.xml, files on any other XBMC htpc's so all PC's now point to your MySQL server.
Troubleshooting and Optimising MySQL: - craigd - 2010-11-18 14:36
There are a number of common issues when first setting up I'll track as many of them here as I can but first here's a list of common items which cause issues, thanks to avus m3 for original collation of these.
1. Ensure you have a build that supports MySQL, Camelot 9.11 is only equivalent to r26018 and a minimum build number of r28142 is required. I'd recommend using the newest Dharma build available.
2. Ensure your sources are valid and accessible and will scan to a local db with the advanced settings removed
3. Ensure user has been created in mysql
4. Ensure user has create, and edit access to server
5. Ensure user has create and edit access to schemas
6. Ensure character and collation of schema is set to latin1
7. Ensure all sources are defined with smb links and not local defined
8. Ensure there are no occurrances of "\" in your sources MySQL requires all path seperators to be "/"
9. Mysql server needs to be contactable on port 3306, Try connecting with all firewalls disabled to see if this is being blocked.
In addition to these issues a number of users have noticed lockups and slow downs accessing certain views here's the solutions found so far, thanks to albaranov for the music fixes.
1. Delay of 3 minutes when you click on an Artist in Library mode.
Fixed by adding index: CREATE INDEX test_idx ON song(idAlbum);
2. Delay of 20 seconds when you click on "Artists"
Fixed byadding index: alter table song add index idArtist(idArtist);
3. Delay of 10 seconds when you click on "Genres"
Fixed by: alter table song add index idGenre(idGenre);

Krazypoloc Wrote:Alright guys I got it all figured out (famous last words).********
As in the pros and cons at present posters are not able to be tracked or stored by the database. This means only the htpc which originally updates the library will shows the correct images for items in the library. At present to get the images you will need to refresh each item or enter and exit the info screen for each item. There are two main ways to automate a workaround to this issue.
1. Use symlinks to share thumbnails folder. Using symlinks all thumbnails are held on one pc (usually the same as the mysql db sits on) and rather than a folder a shortcut is essentially created which points each other pc to the shared folder.
Only one copy of each file is created.
All systems always show correct images
Network performance will control how quickly images can be loaded so can impact user experience.
2. Synchronise folders so copies of files are held centrally and copies are cascaded to all other htpc's. Using tools such as synctoy, rsynch, dropbox folders can be set to replicate manually or automatically depending on selected tool.
guaranteed best performance as files are cached locally
simple to set up
images not available until sync completes
not all tools automate easily and some cost money
Ongoing Issues: - craigd - 2010-11-18 15:04
Below are the issues I'm aware of that are affecting users of MySQL databases
1. Thumbnails are not replicated automatically across all systems.
2. Recently Added Scripts don;t always show movies
3. 20 second freeze entering and exiting movie library
4. Slow downs and freezing navigating music library

Thanks for taking the initiative to group this info together. I have been contemplating doing this for awhile but I have too much on my plate right now. Fortunately, I graduate college in 3 weeks so with just having to worry about work hopefully I will have more time for hobby stuff. I recommend symlinking both advancesettings and sources.xml. I haven't seen anyone try this up to this point but I have been using it for awhile with no problems whatsoever. This way if you change IP or db names, all pc's are synced. Plus it saves from errors in creating the xml. For sources, it keeps all pc's on the same page if you add a new folder to one of your libraries automatically. It's also kind of a pain but if you went from say Beta 1 or 2 to say 4, I would recommend deleting the db and recreating to solve a lot of little issues. As new builds are rolled out, new features/changes are implemented that might cause quirks.
As I mentioned creating a new thread that should be stickied, as info changes and new info is presented the first couple post should be updated. That way problems/solutions and tips are not scattered across 400 post. Looking forward to contributing more in the future!

After seeing the disadvantage of "Images not stored in DB" I *knew* that some guy was tripping acid one evening and implemented it in FUSE.
I was right.
Anyone want to test that out?
- mwkurt - 2010-11-18 19:26
There is another issue that you may want to include. Make sure the port that mysql db use (3306?) is open on your mysql pc. Of course, you may be including that in the "connect with all firewalls off". Would that be the same thing?
- craigd - 2010-11-19 12:01

Yeah had tried to simplify it but will update to reflect actual port number.
Will try to do a complete install of sql again and write the step by step for that section this weekend

would it make more sense to run xbmc in portable mode from a dropbox folder while keeping your media in the same mapped network drive on all computers?

I wrote a short instruction How to configure XBMC with MySQL step by step.
I use xbmc on 4 pc, and I love this synchronization.
Now I need to think how to automatically create backup of database once a week and save last three backups.
Any help is appreciated

castortray Wrote:Hi,
I have used this little trick to do backup of the database. Perhaps it can help. Windows related though...
1. Open Notepad
2. Add the following to the file:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqldump.exe" --user=xbmc --password=xbmc --add-drop-table --all-databases --result-file=C:\Temp\backup-%DATE%.sql --dump-date
3. Save the file with a .cmd at the end, as example "MySQLBackup.cmd"
4. Go to control panel / schedule task / add new task
5. When asked for the program to run, browse to your newly created file and choose it. Then continue the wizard and choose the options you want (daily, weekly, ...)
In the commandtext above you need to be aware of the following:
- adjust the path to the mysqldump.exe if needed
- Insert your user and password (I used xbmc as example above)
- I have a %DATE% in the filename above, please be aware that if you use "/" as date seperator it will not work as that is not allowed in teh filename so change your regional settings to use "-" as date seperator
- after the --result-file= you can add the place you want the backup to be put (as example onto another share, usb-stick or...)
I also saw you wanted to remove things automatically after some time. I found the following commandline item you can try to add to the file. I have NOT tested it but feel free
forfiles /p C:\Temp\ /m backup-*.* /d -7 /c "cmd /c del @path"
This command should remove files older then 7 days so just change the 7 to whatever you need. As said, not tested yet...
Hope it helps. You also do not have to add any other program as mysqldump comes with the MySQL installation

Aubrey Allicock will lift his voice for those touched by cancer at the annual Sing for Siteman concert. Through Stevie Wonder's If It's Magic, the Opera Theatre performer will honor his father, a colon cancer survivor, as well as event founder Carol Wong's father, who lost his battle with cancer. "I don't know one person who hasn't been affected by cancer, and it's such a wonderful gift to be able to help," Allicock says.
The fourth annual event will feature Allicock and eight additional internationally renowned Opera Theatre singers, accompanied by Wong, an acclaimed concert pianist, at Washington University's Whitaker Hall to benefit Siteman Cancer Center's Discovery Fund at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine.
The show provides concertgoers with a rare chance to see the principal performers from all four shows in Opera Theatre's new season in one intimate venue. A Julliard School graduate, Allicock stars in this year's performances of the original jazz opera, Champion. After performing at Sing for Siteman last year, he jumped at the chance to take the stage again in support of promising new cancer therapies and treatments. "It was a no-brainer for me," he says.
Deanna Breiwick, a Julliard School graduate and star of Opera Theatre's Pirates of Penzance, also will sing for Siteman for the second consecutive year. "They usually don't have same performers do it again, but we insisted on coming back because it really is such a special night," notes Breiwick, whose close friend overcame a long battle with stage 4 colon cancer. "You really feel like you are helping in a concrete way—to fight cancer and bring about a lot of positive change." This time around, Breiwick will sing Make the Man Love Me, about a woman who is in love, but the man doesn't quite know she is the one for him yet. "It's a very heartfelt, sincere song that everyone can relate to," she explains.
Also donating their time and talents for this year's show are Opera Theatre stars Corinne Winters, Matthew Plenk, Emily Pulley, Hugh Russell, Thomas Hammons, Matthew Burns and Meredith Arwady. The artists, who will sing opera songs to Broadway and cabaret numbers, regularly perform around the globe on such renowned stages as The Metropolitan Opera and the English National Opera.
In addition to unique performances, attendees also will experience stories of loss and survival from those affected by cancer. And following the special show, guests will have the opportunity to interact with the artists during a dessert reception. "People from all walks of life and different experiences come together for this cause," Breiwick says. "And we all do songs that are special to our hearts."
Sing for Siteman
WHEN: Monday, June 10, 7:30-9 p.m.
WHERE: Washington University's Whitaker Hall
DETAILS: 'Meet the Artists' dessert reception will follow the concert
COST: $100, preferred seating; $50, open seating

3 Defining Elements of a Biotech/Pharma Resume
What are the Defining Elements of Your Biotech/Pharma Resume?
By Anish Majumdar,
Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW)
Developing a new Biotech/Pharma resume can be a daunting prospect. What's the best way to present yourself? Which elements of your career should be highlighted (and which left off)? One common misconception is that every part of your resume should be 100% original. Not only is this an incredible time-consuming approach, it has been shown, time and time again, to be ineffective.
When recruiters and hiring agents evaluate a potential candidate, they're primarily searching for 3-4 defining elements. The appeal of these elements are the driver behind who gets selected for interviews, and ultimately, who gets a job offer. Therefore, the main responsibility of your resume isn't being original, but communicating these 3-4 defining elements in a variety of ways.
Here are 3 ways to bring your defining elements to the forefront of your resume:
1. Develop A Powerful Opening Paragraph
A powerful resume opening "frames" the rest of the document, quickly outlining the areas where a candidate feels strongest and differentiating him or her from the competition. As a Biotech/Pharma professional, it's your job to boil down everything you've accomplished to date into a list of 3-4 defining attributes. Feel free to be creative here; some candidates might wish to highlight an advanced degree or certification, while others might want to call attention to a high-level responsibility at their previous job. Keep it short and to-the-point. When executed correctly, a strong opening paragraph will consistently result in a more in-depth examination of your resume by recruiters and hiring agents.
2. Expand Upon Your Opening Paragraph In The Work History
Many Biotech/Pharma jobseekers make the mistake of developing their work history before tackling the opening paragraph of the resume. Going in the opposite direction is a much more effective approach, as it will enable you to filter your work history through the 3-4 defining attributes you've identified. When describing responsibilities for the jobs you've held, always highlight those related to your defining attributes first. Also, be sure to create a "Key Accomplishments" or similar section for recent jobs that highlights concrete successes related to them. Never lose sight of the focus of these edits, which is communicating a particular set of skills that will set you apart from other professionals.
3. Keep Closing Sections Relevant
By executing the previous 2 steps, you've taken control of how you're perceived as a candidate and made a strong case for why you're suited for the position you're applying for. End it on a high note by only highlighting relevant education credits, professional memberships, and other details at the tail end of the resume.The days of including a "Hobbies/Interests" section are long gone. If the content doesn't directly support your ambitions, leave it off.

The Hot Guys of Game of Thrones
The dress that started it all, Cinderella's baby blue gown with scalloped trimming enchanted the imaginations of children everywhere, and became one of Disney's most successful commercial hits when it was released in 1950. The magical gown, pictured in its matte version here, sparkled like her glass slippers while she danced with the prince at the ball.
Rodgers and Hammerstein created their Cinderella starring Julie Andrews for a CBS television special. According to IMDB, two completely different designs were worn by Andrews. The traditional tulle ball gown, pictured here, was reportedly never used for anything more than publicity stills as it was "dismissed as too big and heavy to utilize through all the live broadcast maneuvers." A more fitted white dress was worn instead, beginning the constant back-and-forth between Cinderella's blue and white gowns.

Tribe places Marson on DL, calls up Gomes, Santos
CLEVELAND -- Indians catcher Carlos Santana initially thought he had broken his thumb. Anyone who watched the fastball from closer Chris Perez cross the catcher up and drill his left hand on Monday night probably had the same reaction.
"We all saw it. He got smoked," Indians manager Terry Francona said on Tuesday.
The Indians caught a break: Santana only suffered a bruise.
The X-rays on Santana's hand came back negative for any structural damage, but the catcher is considered day to day and likely will miss a few games. In the meantime, Cleveland made a handful of roster moves to offer more protection behind the plate, especially because backup Lou Marson has also been dealing with lingering neck stiffness.
Prior to Tuesday's game against the Yankees, the Indians placed Marson on the 15-day disabled list and promoted catchers Yan Gomes and Omir Santos from Triple-A Columbus. In order to add Santos to the 40-man roster, Cleveland designated pitcher Robert Whitenack -- claimed off waivers from the Cubs on Wednesday -- for assignment.
Marson suffered a cervical (neck) strain during a hard collision at the plate with Rays center fielder Desmond Jennings in the third inning of Saturday's road game against Tampa Bay. Cleveland's backup catcher will be eligible to come off the DL on April 24.
"We put Lou in the game [Monday] to back up and we were not comfortable with that," Francona said. "So we sat there last night and we talked through all kinds of different scenarios. What we're going to do is we DL'd Lou. That allowed us to get Yan Gomes here and he will start catching tonight."
Gomes, who was acquired from the Blue Jays in a November trade, was in the lineup Tuesday and batted ninth. Last season, the 25-year-old Gomes hit .204 in 43 games in five stints with the Blue Jays, and .328 with 13 homers, 29 doubles and 59 RBIs in 79 games for Triple-A Las Vegas. He had two doubles and two RBIs in four games with Columbus this year.
"It's exciting," Gomes said, "especially being around these guys in Spring Training and just seeing how much fun they're having. I'm excited to come out here and have a good time."
The Indians are hoping that Santana will need only a few days before being cleared to at least serve as the backup catcher. Through seven games this season, the switch-hitter had a .500 (13-for-26) average to go along with two homers, four doubles, four walks, five runs and five RBIs.
"I'm having a great start and I don't want to stop," Santana said. "But, I'm not 100 percent now and I can't play now. Maybe in the next couple days we'll see what happens."

The newest phase of the campus No Smoking Policy went into effect today, as the campus officially transitioned to a smoke free environment with designated smoking locations.
In February, Chancellor DiStefano signed the new campus No Smoking Policy which mandated a no smoking campus beginning Aug. 19, 2013. The policy had a transition period that included deployment of campus signage, facilities considerations, and the promotion of policy awareness and resources for those who wish to quit smoking.
"Smoking," as used in this policy, means smoking any substance, including but not limited to, tobacco, cloves, or marijuana. "Smoking products" include but are not limited to all cigarette products (cigarettes, bidis, kreteks, etc.) and all smoke-producing products (cigars, pipes, hookahs, etc.). E-cigarettes are also included in the updated policy.
The campus has chosen to implement this policy to promote a healthy campus and to support and improve the health and wellness of our students, faculty and staff. Over 1,100 colleges and universities have adopted a smoke-free policy (including the Anschutz Medical Campus), so CU-Boulder is not alone on this initiative.
A number of resources are available to individuals who wish to quit smoking. The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) is hosting a series of "Getting Ready to Quit: Smoking Cessation" workshops, support groups and individual counseling sessions. For more information and to register, visit the FSAP Work-life Workshop and Group website or call the FSAP general number, 303-492-3020.
Community Health offers free, confidential, one-on-one tobacco cessation counseling to students. Through counseling, students will be able to assess their tobacco use, create a plan to quit including setting a quit date, establish coping strategies, and get support throughout the quit process. To receive free tobacco cessation counseling, please contact the Community Health office at 303-492-2937 or email@example.com.

Focus Shifts to the Fiscal Cliff
With the U.S. presidential election now behind us, the big focus of the financial markets will be the fiscal cliff. President Obama has seven weeks to lead Congress to a bipartisan deal to reduce the budget deficit and avoid driving the U.S. economy back into recession. Investors are nervous that a deal can't be reached and have expressed their concern by reducing risk. This has been extremely positive for the U.S. dollar because many investors funded their high risk pro-growth positions by selling the low yielding U.S. dollar and Japanese Yen. To cut back on these positions, they have bought back dollars and yen and these currencies have been driven higher because other investors who may not be holding risky positions are also seeking shelter in the dollar and the Yen. So while the fiscal cliff poses a major risk for the U.S. economy, it has been good for the dollar.
The fiscal cliff is a big deal because the Bush-era tax cuts and mandatory discretionary programs are set to expire at this end of the year. If they are not extended, Americans will be hit with hefty tax increases and reduction in government spending that could shave as much as 4% off the gross domestic product (GDP). This will plunge the U.S. economy back into recession and cause growth to contract as much as 3% in the first half of next year....244 more words left in this article.

Old-fashioned pumpkin pie gets a new lease on life with the help of cheesecake. Traditional pumpkin pie and cheesecake fillings are layered atop a flaky pie crust. You'll never look at pumpkin pie the same way again. And that's a good thing.
All by itself pumpkin pie is kind of, sort of, a yawn fest. It's not that I hate it. Not at all. Let's just say it's near the bottom of my favorite pie list. I eat it mostly because I can't resist buttery pie crust in any shape or form.
Lately, I've been wishing there was more to pumpkin pie than gobs of soft, squishy pumpkin. And now there is.
Cheesecake to the rescue. A thin layer of cheesecake sits underneath the pumpkin filling adding a tangy, creamy bite. It's not your everyday, plain cheesecake. Candied ginger spices things up, a totally optional addition that I highly recommend. Baking has a calming effect on the zingy ginger leaving behind lots of flavor that pairs perfectly with pumpkin.
Pumpkin pie. . . I believe in you again.
Thanks to cheesecake you'll never be the same.
Old-fashioned pumpkin pie and cheesecake layered atop a flaky crust. You'll never look at pumpkin pie the same way again.
- Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter and shortening with a pastry blender or two knives used scissor fashion until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 3–5 tablespoons of ice water until dough just holds together. Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for a half hour.
- In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium until smooth and creamy. Stir in the egg, vanilla and ginger.
- In a separate, large bowl whisk the sugar, salt and all the spices together. Add the pumpkin, cream, and eggs. Whisk just until smooth and combined - don't over mix.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the crust on a lightly floured surface to 12 - 13 inches in diameter. Press into a 9-inch pie pan (inside top measurement) that is at least 1 +1/2 inches deep. Fold the edges under and flute or make a pattern with a fork.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling into the crust and spread out evenly. Gently spoon the pumpkin mixture on top and fill to 1/4 inch from the top. (You may have a little pumpkin left - you can bake it in a small custard cup.)
- Bake 15 minutes then turn the heat down to 350 degrees F. and bake 40 - 45 minutes longer. The pie should be mostly set and a little wobbly in the center.
- Remove to wire rack to cool then chill completely. Cut into wedges and serve with whipped cream.

More of New Jersey will be affected with higher amounts of snow according to new advisories about the storm issued by the National Weather Service as flights begin to be cancelled in anticipation of the snow.
Snow will begin falling across New Jersey late tonight, turn to rain during the day on Friday south of Interstate 78 but turn to heavy snow late Friday afternoon as conditions quickly deteriorate and may fall at a rate of 1-2 inches per hour for several hours on Friday night in most areas with occasional thunder.
The wet snow and wind gusts of up to 55 MPH along the coast could cause "significant power outages" according to the National Weather Service's advisory about the nor'easter.
"We're mobilizing & preparing for a major statewide storm w/ 1,400 snow plows & 650 salt-spreader trucks at the ready," tweeted Governor Chris Christie. "New Jersey is ready for any contingency & we're prepared to work around the clock starting this evening until storm passes & roads are clear."
Some ice may mix in as temperatures will hover around the freezing mark along the coast and in southern counties.
Northern New Jersey is a different story as a Blizzard Warning is in effect for Hudson, Bergen, eastern Essex and eastern Union counties for 10-14 inches of snow with locally heavy amounts.
A Winter Storm Warning has been extended to include Ocean County to receive 4-8 inches of snow from the storm by the time it ends early Saturday morning and 6-10 inches a little further to the north in Monmouth, Mercer & Middlesex counties.
Further south, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for south Jersey with 2-5 inches expected to fall.
North of Interstate 78 it will likely remain a dry snow to the north and could fall at a rate of 1-2″ an hour on Friday night according to a briefing from the National Weather Service. Upwards of 10-16″ will be on the ground when the storm ends on Saturday morning with higher amounts the further north you are located.
The storm will also bring gusty winds of at least 40 MPH inland and 55 MPH along the coast where a Coastal Flood Warning has been issued for the possibility for moderate to major coastal flooding. The most significant impact will be at the sunrise high tide on Saturday morning with 5-7′ tides and significant wave action contributing to moderate to major beach erosion.
There is also concern the Raritan and Passaic rives will rise signifcantly during the Nor'easter.
Listen to Alan Kasper's Nor'easter forecast
The aviation tracking website FlightAware shows United Airlines is already canceling more than 350 flights for Friday in advance of the storm. American has scrapped 43 flights.
FlightAware shows that airports with the most cancellations on Friday are Newark Liberty, Chicago O'Hare, and Boston Logan, in that order.
On Thursday, the biggest weather problems are in Chicago. O'Hare has seen 84 canceled departures.
A Blizzard Warning has been issued for Connecticut, Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts with 18-24 inches of snow expected to fall Friday afternoon at the rate of 2-3 inches per hour. The National Weather Service's Boston office describes the storm as potentially "historic."
PSE+G says they are preparing for the storm by having all available personnel ready to respond to problems ranging from fallen power lines and trees to communicating with local officials starting on Friday.
NJ Transit will cross-honor tickets systemwide on Friday & Saturday and plans to operate on a normal train schedule. Bus schedules will be affected by road conditions that could cause delays.
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey is preparing snow & ice melting equipment and materials for its bridges, rails, roadways and tunnels.

What You Need to Know
Harvey's First Shutout
The Wednesday Takeaway
The right-hander never looked uncomfortable as the Rockies struggled to muster anything offensively, failing to get a runner into scoring position until the ninth inning. Harvey can be excused for that, too, considering the only reason Charlie Blackmon got to second base was fielder's indifference prior to the game's final out. Needing to get that last batter to complete the shutout, Harvey forced Troy Tulowitzki to pop up to second base.
The margin makes it seem like Harvey had some wiggle room in this game, but most of New York's scoring came on a three-run double by Wilmer Flores in the bottom of the eighth inning. For much of the game, Harvey looked to be working with the usual weak run support he has received this season.
But as he has done throughout this season, the 24-year-old pumped out a masterpiece to blank Colorado. Practically all of his outs came easily, as he induced 14 grounders to just seven fly balls. When people talk about pacing and maintaining velocity over nine frames, well, look at this:
Harvey's hardest pitch of the night, measured at 99.3 miles per hour according to Brooks Baseball, came in the eighth inning. He finished his night by touching 99 again with another fastball, before getting Tulowitzki's pop up on a slider near 92 mph. Again, these were his 105th and 106th pitches of the night.
In the development of a great pitcher, there are so many different factors that it's so hard to really control the situation. Obviously, staying healthy and being able to throw really hard go near the top of the list, but Harvey displayed something else Wednesday night. Not only did he completely overwhelm hitters, he showed an understanding of managing energy and pacing that's difficult to teach. Beyond raw talent, there's a certain discipline that goes into throwing perfectly accurate baseballs at near 100 miles per hour that many times. It's something we've seen in aces like Justin Verlander.
Because we've already seen Harvey dominate so many times before, Wednesday night wasn't any sort of breakout. He plays in the country's biggest market and started the All-Star Game. He's already a legitimate star even if his resume reads awfully short. But with every performance like this one, it gets easier to stay he's not a fluke, that he's capable of handling the rigors of being a frontline starting pitcher in MLB.
The Mets are now 13-10 when Harvey starts this season, a pretty stark contrast from the team's 38-50 record when anyone else toes the rubber. On five occasions, he's given up one or zero runs this season, only to have New York lose anyway. At least on this night, he had no trouble getting his win, even if he really didn't need the extra support.
Flores had a pretty special night for New York, as well. Appearing in just his second career game after debuting Tuesday night against Colorado, the third baseman made the most of his chances by getting the first two hits of his career. The second one, which gave New York three key insurance runs in the eighth inning, presumably earned Flores a special ball for safekeeping. As easy as it is to praise Harvey, he'll need guys like Flores to come through and contribute at the plate for this Mets team to get back to contention. —Satchel Price
Wednesday's Matchup in Review
Ransom made his first trip to the plate with a runner on first and one out in the second inning and Hamels went to his signature changeup on all three pitches. Ransom was able to lay off the first changeup outside for ball one, came up empty at a second one below the knees, and got under a third changeup away and at the letters, flying out just in front of the left-field warning track.
In Ransom's third crack at Hamels in the seventh inning, the 37-year-old laid off a cutter high and inside before rolling over to third base on a changeup away. Hamels got away with one here, as the belt-high change up was in Ransom's noted happy zone.
Hamels scattered six hits over seven quality innings, giving up two earned runs without issuing any free passes. However, he left with the game tied at two before Justin De Fratus surrendered what proved to be a game-winning three-run blast off the bat of Donnie Murphy in the top of the ninth inning. Ransom drew a walk against Luis Garcia in the ninth before being picked off of first by Philadelphia's catcher, Erik Kratz. —Chris Mosch
Matchup of the Day
To make matters worse, several of Cleveland's top hitters have failed to hold their own against Detroit's co-ace over their careers. Cleveland's six consistent regulars—Jason Kipnis, Carlos Santana, Nick Swisher, Asdrubal Cabrera, Michael Brantley, and Michael Bourn—have combined for a .226 /.311/.363 slash line against Scherzer in 166 trips to the plate. With all six players being either lefties or switch-hitters, Scherzer can expect to face a barrage of left-handed hitters on Thursday.
Prior to this season, Scherzer had been essentially a two-pitch pitcher against a given batter, relying heavily on his fastball and changeup versus lefties while unleashing his fastball-slider combination against right-handed batters. Scherzer was able to subdue righties with this two-pitch approach, but was ineffective against left-handers, who had a .301 and .296 TAv against Scherzer in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Tigers' hurler has mixed in a curveball against left-handed batters this season and credits his success to being able to keep lefties off-balance with the extra pitch in his arsenal. Scherzer has held lefties to a .221 TAv this season and the effectiveness of the curveball has been apparent; Scherzer has limited lefties to a .172 batting average with just one extra-base-hit against it.
Enter Michael Bourn, who has been brutal against changeups and curveballs during his career and comes into Thursday's game just 3-for-18 against Scherzer. Bourn thrives against fastballs, as he is a .326 hitter against right-handed heat, but has batted just .197 against right-handed changeups and .207 against right-handed curveballs. Bourn and Scherzer faced off eight different times when each played their games in the Senior Circuit, and Scherzer relied on his fastball 71 percent of the time in those matchups. With the curveball at his disposal this season against Cleveland's center fielder, Scherzer has mixed in his secondary pitches more often and opted for his heater just 56.7 percent of the time.
Scherzer tends to live outside the zone with both his curveball and changeup, most often throwing them below a left-handed batter's knees or off the plate.
Below the knees happens to be where Bourn's difficulties against right-handed changeups and curveballs are most pronounced.
Scherzer has the lowest ground-ball rate among Detroit's starting pitchers, but transforms into an extreme ground-ball pitcher versus lefties when relying on his curveball and changeup. When Scherzer keeps his secondary pitches low to Bourn, a noted ground-ball hitter, groundouts tend to ensue such as on this knee-high curveball on May 10, this curveball below the knees on July 8th, or this changeup middle-in on May 21 that followed a called strike and foul ball on changeups off the plate. Ten of the 14 balls that Bourn has put in play against Scherzer have been on the ground.
Scherzer has been pretty consistent mixing in curveballs and changeups low and away in past matchups against Bourn, but Cleveland's leadoff man has been able to lay off curveballs out of the zone early in the count. In at-bats on May 10 and July 8, Scherzer threw first-pitch curveballs to Bourn below the knees, both of which Bourn was disciplined enough to let pass by for ball one. On first-pitch curveballs below the knees from right-handers, Bourn has taken a hack just 11.9 percent of the time, compared to a 36.7 percent swing rate in all other counts. Likewise, Scherzer has only induced swings from lefties on first-pitch curveballs below the knees just 28.6 percent of the time as opposed to a 40.3 percent mark later in the count.
Two of the most desired results for pitchers are to miss bats and keep the ball on the ground, which is what Scherzer has been able to do when he mixes his pitches well versus Bourn. Sure, a ground ball or two is bound to get by for a single, but even the last ground ball single Bourn managed off Scherzer was one that was just out of the reach of Jhonny Peralta. Scherzer will likely have Jose Iglesias manning shortstop behind him this time (7:05 p.m. ET). —Chris Mosch

Seemed like a deliberately chosen new strategy for Harvey and the Mets. Now that they are looking to reduce his workload, I think they've decided that he pitch more efficiently, as opposed to maximizing strikeouts. So 9 great innings instead of 7 otherworldly ones.

Seems like sometimes folks don't realize how the written word can come across. If you say something straight, but it disagrees with what someone else has written, you can be perceived as angry. Voice inflections, facial expressions, all the stuff that occurs in face-to-face dialogue is absent, and smilies just don't bridge the gap. So I think a lot of the difficulty arises because people are not accustomed to communicating through a faceless written medium.christopher::: wrote:What I wonder is a) how do you view this,
When there is tension, I think it works best if posters view their own tension first and foremost. The tension we perceive in another in their writing may or may not be present. Apart from that, I think it's OK to let folks vent and act stupid without worrying too much about it, because anyone who reads the thread can see for themselves what's going on, and everyone is going to bring their own interpretation to it. There is never, in my opinion, any reason to try to vex the other person or make things worse (which isn't to say that I've never personally done this). But in the world of Web boards, I think generally it's a big mistake to take anything personally.christopher::: wrote: b) how should people respond
Yes.christopher::: wrote: and c) is this a natural tension that should be expected,
Not really, because you can never control what the other person is going to do. The best we can do is be aware of the tension that arises within ourselves and work with that.christopher::: wrote: and d) do you have any suggestions for how this tension might be neutralized or diminished?

In contrast to this statement, Ajahn Brahm, spiritual director of the Buddhist Society of WA stated in a letter, "The Dalai Lama is not the 'Pope' of Buddhism and, charming as he often is, he sometimes gets it wrong." Brahm also stated in his letter, "The Dalai Lama's error is to look for his guidance in dodgy scriptures composed many centuries after the time of the Buddha."
"The comment is coming from a very specific view of the world. He's a political figure and he's certainly no fool, and he's not going to say anything to offend the Tibetan community," said Venerable Bhante (Tejadhammo Bhikku), abbot and spiritual director of the Association of Engaged Buddhists Inc.

Internet or elsewhere is a place to express one's views straightforwardly. Each is expressing what they believe to be most beneficial. If it was not like that, then chat site would be very boring and people would learn little. We learn when we are challenged. That is what dukkha is. The word dukkha in Pali means 'difficult to bear'. Dukkha is a challenge that allows the Dhamma to grow in us.
If we crumble in debate or discussion, or must resort to banning people to protect our faith, then our faith is weak. Buddha said for one whose faith in the Tathagata is unshakeable (ajala saddha), they are not poor, their lives are not wasted.

Greetings all,
Here's my updated shrine. I have a new rupa, which is Thai. The other one I figured out was Amitabha Buddha, and that didn't sit right with me. And, I have a new candle holder and flowers. I still need to get a new stand for the rupa, but it's pretty much done. Just one question, is a cloth absolutely necessary? I did have a cloth on there, but I took it off because I thought it looked better without one. Maybe I'm wrong?

All patients treated with study regimen.
Procedure: Stem Cell Transplantation
The purpose of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is to introduce blood producing cells from a normal donor. These cells can either provide what is missing in the body to the other cells, or can change the body's immune response to the substances that have accumulated in the body. These normal hematopoietic stem cells can come from bone marrow, peripheral blood (i.e., the blood circulating in our body's blood vessels) or umbilical cord blood (i.e., blood taken from the umbilical cord after a baby is born and umbilical cord is cut). The new donor cells repopulate the blood and bone marrow system and enter the organs of the body, including the brain. Wherever these cells go, they will produce the needed enzyme.

Detailed Description:
This has been an ongoing area of interest by our group at the Univ. of Minnesota, but this is a new protocol to take the place of several older protocols. While survival has been very good on the prior protocols over the past decade, incomplete engraftment has remained somewhat problematic. Therefore, we have modified the preparative regimen somewhat to increase engraftment by replacing anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) with Campath-1H, a drug that is more immune suppressive. In addition, we have modified the supportive care regimen. Based on this, we will monitor levels of an anti-oxidant therapy (N-acetylcysteine) and biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress for the families that consent to these research studies.

Of course the biggest news of the day today was, actually somewhat of a lack of news, as it was revealed that there were not yet any new G.I. Joe toy items in the Hasbro display booth. The Wave 2 Kre-O single packs are in there as well as the two latest build sets, but there does not appear to be any other new items.
Now, in years past, Hasbro has held off on putting new items out until after their presentation, so there is potentially still some to come, but word from the sales floor seems to indicate that we may not see anything new this weekend in person.
While that might drive many folks to begin screaming "deth of teh line!11" I think having a $130M + movie production actively in theaters is an indication we should not be looking for our shovels and gravestones just yet.
The Hasbro Seminar will be this morning at 11:00am, and you can believe many questions will be asked and hopefully addressed there.
Be sure to follow me on Twitter for the latest up to date information and we will be getting news and reports on the site and in the gallery ASAP.

Three civilian defense contractors who worked at Camp Pendleton pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring to steal more than $3 million worth of medical equipment that was to be shipped overseas to be used for injured Marines, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Henry Bonilla, 25, of Pomona; Richard Navarro, 39, of Fallbrook; and Michael Tuisee, 34, of Oceanside, each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in theft of government property, federal officials said.
They are scheduled to be sentenced May 24. They could each face five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The three worked in warehouses operated by the 1st Medical Logistics Company, which stores and ships medical items to combat troops around the world.
During their court appearance Thursday, they admitted they stole medical equipment, including ultrasound machines and ventilators, and then resold the items.
U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said the charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the theft of valuable property at the base. She said anyone with information can contact the Naval Criminal Investigative Service at (800) 264-6485, or www.ncis.navy.mil.

text: Show Hide image Politics 20 June 2012 Lords reform is becoming a test of whether Ed Miliband can control his party There is a discreet culture war brewing in the Labour ranks. Sign up for our weekly email * If David Cameron does not already regret his failure to nurture devotion in the cohort of Tories first elected to parliament at the last election, he will do soon enough. The 2010 intake, amounting to nearly half of all Conservative MPs, ought to be a loyal Cameroon infantry. Many were selected to fight winnable seats from the Tory leadership's "A-list" – the "modernising" fast-track for fresh-faced candidates to renew the party's public image. Yet they now feel unheeded and underemployed. A handful of eager supplicants will get junior ministerial jobs in a long-awaited reshuffle – widely expected to happen in September. But that will create as many resentments as it appeases. Besides, the malaise is about more than thwarted ambition. Many MPs feel they won their seats despite, not because of, their leader's efforts. Now in power, there is a growing sense that the whole Cameron project is drifting and that the future of Conservatism lies elsewhere. The Prime Minister is said to be bogged down in coalition haggling and day-to-day news management. It is still possible to find Tory MPs who predict a Conservative majority at the next election but their calculations rely on scathing assessments of Ed Miliband and expectations of a Labour implosion. Few look to Cameron for inspiration. "The next election won't be a beauty contest between competing ideas for the country," says a despondent Tory 2010-er. "There is a complete lack of intellectual direction from the top," says another. Culture war A similar lament can be heard from recent arrivals on the opposition benches. Miliband's position has been strengthened by Labour's double-digit advantage in opinion polls. But reservations about the dynamism of his leadership remain. There is a fear that a mediocre mid-term bounce is being misinterpreted as a licence to duck difficult decisions and wait for the government to fail. "We've got more confident," says one young backbencher. "The question is what we do with confidence." There is a discreet culture war brewing in the Labour ranks between those who think they can plot a route to power with a sequence of tactical manoeuvres and those who crave a grand strategic vision. It is partly, but by no means exclusively, friction between an idealistic new generation and cynical veterans of the Blair-Brown wars. It is also a disagreement over the kind of politics Labour should be engaged in: coalition-building or coalition sabotage. The tension has been brought into sudden relief by the party's dilemma over House of Lords reform. Legislative battle over Nick Clegg's plans (an upper chamber reduced to 300 members of whom 80 per cent would be elected) could begin within weeks. Labour has yet to agree a strategy. Miliband's allies say that his preference is for the plans to have safe passage, at least on the early stages of their journey through the House of Commons. That would require Labour MPs voting with Lib Dems to neutralise a Tory rebellion. There are a number of reasons for such a manoeuvre. It would signal that Labour remembers its own manifesto commitment to an elected upper chamber and can vote according to its reformist principles, even if that means siding with the government. It would also show a capacity to look beyond tribal party boundaries – a trait liked by the electorate and a habit worth acquiring, given the likelihood that parliament will remain hung after the next election. The rival view is that Lords reform could be the unmaking of the coalition and that the opposition ought to be hastening that demise. Few Labour MPs like the idea of building legislative life rafts for Clegg's party just as they are about to slip below the water. (Although, arguably, Labour would destabilise the coalition more by cosying up to the Lib Dems.) There are also several Labour MPs who have principled objections to the detail of Clegg's proposals and many more who worry that voters will despise politicians for constitutional navel-gazing at a time of economic emergency. All of these arguments – and many arcane deviations on mischievous ways to exploit parliamentary procedure – were voiced at a bumptious meeting of Labour MPs on 18 June. The pro-reform side is now concerned that Miliband is not confident enough of his authority to order Labour MPs to vote with Lib Dems and will instead side with the saboteurs. "We have serious party-management issues," says one shadow cabinet minister. Some Miliband supporters worry that a retreat from the principle of reform would feed the party's most reactionary instincts and limit the leader's room for manoeuvre. "It would tell people that they can push Ed around," says a senior Labour source. National optimism No one in Labour thinks Lords reform is a priority. But that is why it risks becoming an emblematic issue. It is emerging as a proxy battle to test whether Miliband can choose a line and whip his party behind it. If he cannot have his way over a constitutional tweak, serious questions will be raised about his capacity to manage the many more profound differences simmering away unresolved in the Labour party – what promises to make on public-sector cuts, for example. Young Labour MPs see the frustration on the faces of their Tory peers as a symptom of Cameron's failure to tell a compelling story about where he wants to lead the country. That is a damaging omission at a time when people are frightened of economic crisis without end. It also creates an opportunity for Labour to stand as the party of national optimism. No one thinks Miliband is yet ready with a winning formula. His advantage is that he has used up less of the public's patience than the Prime Minister, which gives him hope of having his alternative offer heard. That indulgence will quickly be withdrawn if he is pinned down in a petty war of attrition against the government. Downing Street would love to face an opposition with a weak leader who can neither impose his will on the old generation nor inspire the new one. Miliband is in danger of furnishing Cameron with that luxury.

I've been here for maybe 5 years now, I don't often post, I'm more of a troll, but I've visited this site pretty much everyday for Pacers news.
And so I want to make sure this isn't misunderstood as a spamming message, I'm not going to name my site.
I've been involved with three different sites, back in the beginning, we had some cheap recruiting methods of basically spamming. We switched boards recently, and most came with us, some went elsewhere. Now we are having trouble recruiting new members.
I have no idea how to actually get my sites name out there, and I'm really wondering how PD does it. I can't seem to get it right. Any feedback is welcomed.

Or, you can even add some excitement to traditional Easter egg hunts by hiding Hammond's All Natural Solid Milk Chocolate Handmade Small Floppy Bunny for an extra special, decadent treat! Deliciously decadent Hammond's Gourmet Candies and Chocolates have been a hometown favorite since the company was founded in 1920. Hammond's handmade sweets for Easter are a true slice of Hammond's history and a treat for anyone. Unlock your inner sweet tooth with Hammond's Candies. Frequently Asked Questions: Are any of Hammond's candies and chocolates Gluten free? Yes! All of Hammond's candies are Gluten free. Does Hammond's Candies use any artificial preservatives in their candy and chocolate? No. They do, however, use citric acid, a natural preservative, to give tartness to their fruit flavored hard candies and to help breakdown carbohydrates in some of their soft candies, like chocolate covered cherries. What allergens are in Hammond's candies and chocolates? Hammond's hard candy does not contain any known allergens except certified and exempt (natural) colors (such as red 40, yellow 5). Some people with sulfate allergies have negative reactions to specific salts in certified dyes. Typical food allergens, such as soy and nut proteins, are commonly used in Hammond's soft candies (caramels, chocolates, popcorn, etc). Because Hammond's Candies is a small company with a small kitchen, they sometimes share equipment used in making candy with allergens and candy without. If you have severe allergies to nut, soy, and dairy ingredients, Hammond's does not recommend that you eat their candy or chocolate. What are the ideal storage conditions for my chocolate? Chocolate should be kept dry! It's not terribly sensitive to temperatures, although if you expose to high heat, it will eventually melt. If you have small pieces of chocolate, keep them in an airtight, plastic container with the desiccant that came with it. It's best to keep chocolate at room temperature. Don't store Hammond's products in the refrigerator! The moisture will ruin the chocolate and bringing chocolates out from the cold into ambient temperature can cause sugar bloom, which is when moisture condenses on the outside of the chocolate and causes the fats to separate from the sugars. Keep your chocolate in its original packaging as long as possible. The air in there is probably drier than your own and it will help lengthen the good looks of the chocolate. What is the difference between Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate? Milk Chocolate and Semi-sweet (dark) Chocolate actually contain chocolate in a bitter form called chocolate liquor (there is no alcohol in this product). Milk chocolate has milk as an ingredient. Semi-sweet has no milk and has half the sugar as milk chocolate. White chocolate contains no chocolate liquor--in other words, it's not a chocolate product. It does contain cocoa butter which gives it a chocolate flavor. The higher the cocoa butter content, the more yellow the appearance and the better the flavor. If the color is a strong white color it probably does not contain cocoa butter, just artificial flavoring. Hammond's Story Over the past 90 years, the "Mile High" city of Denver, Colorado, has seen a number of fine chocolate and candy manufacturers come and go, but one special company is still very much in business. On his first day of high school, a young man named Carl Hammond returned home and announced that he didn't need any more education. "Fine," his mother replied, "but you're not going to lie around the house. Go get a job." And that's just what Carl Hammond did; he got a job…as an apprentice in a candy factory. In 1920, after several years of learning the candy business, Carl T. Hammond, Sr. founded Hammond's Candy Company in Denver. He was inspired to become an entrepreneur after creating his first original candy, Honey Ko Kos, chocolates topped with shredded coconut. In his first few years in business, Carl did it all: He developed the recipes, made the candy, sold the candy, and was his own office staff. Eventually, he hired someone to manage the store while traveled the West, selling his candy to other stores. Business boomed during the "Roaring 20s." While the Great Depression brought many changes, Hammond's went right on selling candy, because even in those extremely trying times, people could usually find enough money for the simple and sweet pleasure of candy…but if people were going to buy it, it had to be good. Carl's motto was "Nothing is more important that quality." This focus on quality kept Hammond's modest factory on Platte River Street open, and making a profit, throughout the entire Depression. In 1995, Hammond's evolved from a local treasure to a national name, when Williams-Sonoma placed an order for hand-pulled lollipops, chocolate-covered toffee, and pepermint pillows, all of which quickly became best-sellers at the company's many retail locations around the country. In 1999, Hammond's Candy was sold, and with the sale of the company came huge growth. Hammond's grew from a small factory with 10 employees, to a facility twice as large with over 60 employees. At this point, Hammond's also opened the factory to the public, offering free tours and an annual Candy Cane Festival, an event which is still held the first Saturday in December. In 2007, a group of candy lovers led by Andrew Schuman, current President and CEO, took a close look at Hammond's. Schuman, using his specialty retail experience and an entrepreneurial zeal very similar to Carl Hammond himself, saw Hammond's as a "sweet" company, waiting to be taken to the next level and purchased the company. In just four short years, Hammond's has doubled in size and continues to thrive under the new ownership. It now utilizes the services of over 120 employees and welcomes over 100,000 visitors a year! As the company has grown, so has its fame: Hammond's has been featured on CNBC, in the Wall Street Journal, and in other national publications. Its products have been featured in magazines and advertisements, such as Martha Stewart Living and Every Day with Rachel Ray. The factory is frequently featured on television shows such as Food Network's Kid in a Candy Store. In 2010, Hammond's purchased McCraw's Candies, maker of that famous flat taffy you knew as a kid. McCraw's has been selling its world famous taffy for well over a century. Mccraw's taffy is now manufactured and shipped from Hammond's Denver factory. In 2011, Hammond's is thrilled to have entered the gourmet food arena with the launch of their succulent dessert dips and snack pretzels. Hammond's offers a huge variety for one small company, but (as Carl Hammond taught them) it's much more fun that way!

Pure Vanilla Extract
We use a blend of Indian and Madagascar vanilla beans to make our Pure Vanilla Extract. This extract has a rich, rummy flavor with sweet, creamy undertones and a slightly fruity top note. Since it is high in vanillin (naturally occurring in vanilla beans), it has more flavor and greater impact when used in ice cream, baked goods and beverages than your typical Bourbon Madagascar vanilla extract.
Our Pure Vanilla Extract is manufactured in accordance with the U.S. standard of identity for pure vanilla extract and contains vanilla bean extractives, water and ethyl alcohol (35%). We do not add any sugar, glycerin or corn syrup and our product is gluten free.

All the Pure Vanilla Extract sold by Silver Cloud Estates is manufactured in accordance with the U.S. standard of identify. Vanilla is the only flavor that has a standard of identity. This means, by law, vanilla extract can only contain certain ingredients to be labeled as pure. The standard of identity requires 13.35 ounces of cured, cut vanilla beans (with a moisture content not greater than 25.00%) be used per gallon of finished extract. The extract must contain a minimum 35.00% alcohol by volume. Glycerin, water and corn syrup are allowed, but not required under the standard of identity for pure vanilla extract. Beyond moisture content, there is no requirement in the standard regarding the quality, origin of the vanilla beans or extraction process used. As a result, the quality of pure vanilla extracts can vary depending on the manufacture.
