Espressos, Americanos, cappuccinos, lattes; these are the real moneymakers in foodservice these days.
The tremendous surge in specialty coffee sales has taught operators that buying and serving better quality hot beverages, from java to chai, black and green teas and herbal brews, pays big dividends. It starts with smart purchasing.
"There's only four or five cents worth of actual coffee in that cup, so don't skimp on quality," says coffee broker Ed Faubert, president of L.E. Faubert & Company. He advises buying 100 percent arabica beans rather than the poorer quality robusta, and beware of cheaper blends that are mostly robusta beans.
Much recent attention from sophisticated consumers has focused on organic crops (sales of which jumped 40 percent last year), Fair Trade coffees (which especially appeal to "green" customers) and geographic-specific beans (which, like fine wines, taste of their terroir). S&D Coffee, for example, just introduced its Buffalo & Spring coffee line, which includes certified Fair Trade and regionals like Guatemala Huehuetenango.
Many operators who have mastered the espresso machine are turning their attention to other hot beverages, like chai and teas. Virtually unknown a decade ago, spicy, sweet and milky chai is a sought-after coffee alternative these days. For operators, putting chai on the menu is a snap. Oregon Chai packages its eponymous beverage as a concentrate in 32-ounce, shelf-stable cartons; as mixes (just add water); and chai tea bags. Chai flavors include Original, Java, Kashmir Green and Vanilla. Seasonal variations such as Chai Cider and Chai Nog are available for the holidays. Oregon's latest intro is a sugar-free concentrated Chai.
"Serving good-quality hot tea has always presented a challenge to restaurants," says Joe Simrany, president of the Tea Association of the United States. Lately, however, Simrany is seeing a move toward premium teas in foodservice. He cites all the new upscale teabags on the market, including pyramid-shaped and see-through bags that let the leaves' pedigrees show. "The payback is tremendous," insists Simrany. There's not a tremendous increase in price, the teas cost just pennies more, because each bag only contains 2.2 grams of tea. "And they've already got the hot water and the tea cups."
For starters, Simrany suggests offering on-premise customers a few choices in a tea chest. "First, you've got to offer basic tea for the unsophisticated drinker, a mass-market brand like Tetley, Lipton or Bigelow," he advises. Fill out the chest with a few traditional varieties, such as Earl Grey or English Breakfast, a decaf and an herbal or two. To upgrade even further, a single-origin tea like Darjeeling or Assam will impress aficionados.
Twinings of London has been selling fine teas for 300 years. Now the venerable firm is introducing distinctively full-flavored, naturally caffeine-free herbal teas segmented according to the "mood states" they invoke. Relaxing blends in the "Unwind" section include Egyptian Camomile and Apple; African Honeybush, Mandarin and Orange; and Citrus, Cinnamon and Spices. The invigorating "Revive" selections include Cherry and Madagascan Cinnamon; Blackcurrant, Ginseng, and Tahitian Vanilla; and Lemon and Chinese Ginger.
"Anybody can sell tea for a buck, but if you're going to charge a couple of dollars more for a cup, that takes a little more effort," Simrany concludes.

Editing entries in FamilySearch Family Tree
1 comment:
All my work from early December was rolled back when the so to speak, non-destructive merges" in new.FamilySearch.org were, err... unmerged. After the first roll-back, FamilySearch support told me to go ahead and "fix it" again. I hadn't finished that work when the second series of roll-backs kicked in. Since then, there was a third roll-back.ReplyDelete
Oh ... and as an aside. One of my gg~~~uncles was a "Randall Presson [Preston]." [PID LHK9-CGB] His given name, Randall, was his mother's maiden name; she was Priscilla Randall. Her profile was indeed the third roll back noted above.
Earlier this week on FamilyTree, some kind soul changed his given name from "Randall" to "Ramdall." (As though it is not painful enough to read about her "restored" seven sets of parents.)

The Beef Tendon & Meat Dry Noodles ($5) was a bowl with generous portions of tendons, beef slices and topped with blanched bean sprouts and shredded preserved vegetable.
It was love at first slurp. The dark gooey gravy boasted beefy notes with the spices (cinnamon, cloves etc) playing a less-dominant, supporting role. The thick bee hoon here was thicker than most others and was especially shiok to slurp up with the beefy gravy clinging onto every strand. Squeeze in a lime, add in the chilli sauce and chinchalok for a lagi shiok experience! Everything combined beautifully.
The beef tendons were soft, semi-gummy and gelatinous. Not much taste on their own but delicious with that beefy gravy! I also like that the beef slices were not overly tenderised and retained both bite and flavour.
While some people deliberate over whether to choose the dry or soup versions of noodle dishes, I often spare my neurons the trauma and go with both versions. It sure beats complex calculations and pure mental (and not to mention gastric) torture. ;)
Seeing that there was also char kway teow on the table, I decided to opt for the Beef & Beef Ball Soup ($4) sans rice/noodles. I enjoyed the soup which was robust and beefy. Like the gravy, the sweet beefy-ness was allowed to shine without any overly heavy influence of spices. The only let down was the beef balls. I didn't take to their dull taste nor texture.
Here at this stall, it was the dry version with its thick and chewy noodles coated with a superb gravy that won my heart and stomach.

Lubrication helps explain slow, silent earthquakes on B.C. coast
VANCOUVER — The "slow" quakes emanate from the deep like clockwork every 14 months on Canada's west coast.
They typically release the energy of a Magnitude 7 earthquake, but the powerful tectonic events are almost imperceptible because they occur slowly over two weeks, instead of in sudden jolts that last just seconds.
"They would represent a pretty big earthquake if they happened like a regular quake, but because they are so slow you are never able to feel anything," says Pascal Audet, a seismologist at the University of Ottawa, and co-author of a report released Wednesday on the subtle, silent quakes.
The "slow" or "slow-slip" quakes are an intriguing but poorly understood feature of subduction zones like the one along the west coast where a giant oceanic plate dives under the continent.
While more famous for massive and often deadly earthquakes, many of the worlds' subduction zones also frequently experience the slow subtle variety, says Audet.
There is a slow quake every 14 months under Vancouver Island, he says, while New Zealand sees one every two years and southern Japan has one every six months.
"The frequency varies from place to place," says Audet, who has been poring over seismic data from quake zones around the world with Roland Burgmann at the University of California Berkeley.
They report in the journal Nature that the slow quakes appear to be the result of geological forces that "lubricate" deep sections of the subduction zones.
As oceanic plates are shoved beneath the continents pressure and temperatures rise, releasing fluids stored in the descending slabs of rock, Audet said in an interview.
The fluids, rich in silica, that are released allow the giant plates to slowly slip past each other — a process that typically takes 10 days to two weeks — before the movement stops. Then the cycle begins again, building towards the next slow quake.
He says the telltale evidence of the process is evident in veins of silica-rich quartz seen the rocks above the subduction zones. The more quartz, the more frequent the slow earthquakes, Audet says.
He says the slow quakes, which occur more frequently when the descending crust is younger and contains more fluid, occur 10 to 20 kilometres deeper along subduction zones than the sections that rupture unleashing damaging quakes.
The plates that dive past each other along the west coast along the Cascadia subduction zone have historically generated a massive "megathrust" quake about every 500 years. The last one struck in 1700, and geologists say pressure is slowly building towards the next "big one" that could rock the west coast from Vancouver Island down to northern California.
Slow quakes may be much smaller players but Audet says each one adds a little more pressure and strain to the section of the fault associated with bigger quakes. "You actually bring it a little closer to failure every time there is a slow earthquake," he says.

This USB dongle key allows you to easily transfer the license for Imagecraft compilers between multiple computers.
The USB dongle is an add-on option for Imagecraft C Compilers. It is useless on its own!
Imagecraft compilers work with a unique license key that ties the compiler to a specific computer. The license can be transferred to another computer by exporting it to a single-use, copy protected floppy disk. If you intend to use the compiler on different machines frequently, this is a cumbersome process. Also note that the floppy-based approach does not work with external USB floppy drives (e.g., notebook without built-in floppy drive).
The USB dongle license key allows you to move your compiler license between different PCs easily. As with most USB devices, this dongle is not compatible with Windows 95 or NT3.5x.
This dongle is for Imagecraft compilers that are on Version 6 or Version 7:
You must provide your compiler's serial number! After you complete your order, you can add your serial number in the Comments box. The exception of course is if you are ordering the dongle together with a compiler; it will be assumed that the dongle is for the new compiler you're ordering.

Which phone model you have?
on phonecopy which folder i have to select? i try to create folder and then start import it show msg there is no contact found
i follow the the above step and syn all contact but i will not find the folder where contact saved
I'm trying to transfer contacts and calendar onto my pc. I've managed this in the past when a previous laptop has Windows 7 installed but my new laptop has Windows 10 and many tasks cannot be accomplished with this.
The message I get is "the organiser applications on your computer aren't supported".
Is there a way of doing this as my BB 9000 isn't going to last long with probable screen failure (screen goes white then eventually goes normal). Thanks
Hi, PhoneCopy.com doesn't support old blackberry directly but still there is a guide which can help you to get data from your phone https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_backup_contacts_from_blackberry_curve . When you will succeed we can help you to import it to Windows 10.
These are so wrong! Blackberry Keyone is running on Android Nougat and the instructions here are for BlackBerry OS 10, which is obsolete and will no longer be continued on any future BB devices.
Sorry, we just corrected it https://www.phonecopy.com/en/phones/view/blackberry_keyone
And that was a swift response! Well done.
Thank you!
I backed up my contacts with BlackBerry desktop software. After I've installed phone copy for windows and failed to transfer the contacts to phone copy server. I need to repeat the upload but the program won't let me. What shall I do?
Hi, that exactly you mean by "failed to transfer"? Did you exported contacts from BlackBerry in .VCF format? Did you copy these contacts to "Contacts" folder of your Windows PC? We can se 1 successfully synchronized contacts during first synchronization. This means something has to change before you started to synchronize contacts exported from Blackberry.
I backed my contacts up to my computer (BlackBerry Link) and traded my phone in but now I cannot get them to transfer from my computer onto my new Samsung. Is it possible to do that using phonecopy?
Hi, it depends which format you used to store your contacts from Blackberry. Our recommended way is to export it from BlackBerry to vCards: https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_backup_contacts_from_blackberry_curve
Then you will be able to synchronize vCards to PhoneCopy.com using PhoneCopy for Windows and when your contacts will be on PhoneCopy.com it is easy to transfer it to any device.
team support i have installed phonecopy today was trying to learn more from it unfortunately i deleted contacts from the server permanently because of some changes of conatacts now am trying to transfer contacts again but its not showing any contacts on server and i have tried a lot please advice me how do i transfer contacts to phonecopy server
Sorry, but permanent delete means PERMAMENT DELETE. For security and privacy reasons we don't keep any copy of contacts which were requested to delete it permanently.
Thanks for your reply Ok I understand that but now if I want to transfer freshly it will transfer phone contacts to server?
Hi, i recommend you to use Single directional synchronization FROM DEVICE TO SERVER which you can select in the phone application.
What happens after end of free period or we exceed free limit . does my contacts work on phone or deleted
Hi, when your end period ends you will not be able to synchronize your phone with PhoneCopy.com. Your account will be blocked but not deleted.
Hi, I have a Blackberry Q10, I synced my contacts but the calendar items are not syncing. Could you tell me what should I do?
Also, I understand that for Blackberry you cannot transfer the Notes. I have them saved into .csv file. Is there any way to sync or import those?
Hi, when you will follow our guide for Blackberry you will get synchronized both contacts and calendars.
I did follow these instruction from start, the Calendar slider button in the Account is active. It's blue. Still, there are no calendar items saved into the phonecopy.com account. I do have the tasks inactive because I dont want to transfer any tasks. Is that why it doesnt work?
Hi, sorry, it is misunderstanding. The guide which i sent you allow to synchroniza calendar from server to device. Also once you set it it allows to synchronize events back to server. But it doesn't export calendar events FROM device to server. PhoneCopy currently doesn't provide service which allows to export calendar events FROM device TO server because of technical limitations on BlackBerry OS. Sorry
Thanks. Is there Any file format that phonecopy.com can import as calendar entries? I NEED my calendar and notes backed up onto phonecopy, so what kind of file format is accepted or allowed to be exported to phonecopy?
How to setup the phonecopy in Blacberry Priv
the setup given in phonecopy website doesnt belongs to Priv
Hi, can you, please try our common android guide: https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_backup_contacts_from_android
it only lets me copy blackbery contacts 614 but I actually have 1190 in total, how can I amend this??
Hi, we looked you are using Server To Blackberry synchronization only. If you need copy contacts FROM blackberry you need use our application for BlackBerry.
thanks, I did that as well and it doesn't work, it won't let me copy all the contacts, please advise
it only lets me transfer BLACKBERRY CONTACTS, but not the contacts like local directory, etc
Yes, PhoneCopy for BlackBerry lets you synchronize only BLACKBERRY CONTACTS due to limits of BlackBerry and it is mentioned in specification of app.
If your other contacts are in other account, you can simply import them to BLACKBERRY CONTACTS and then perform the sync.
Otherwise, you can use the Activesync with your PhoneCopy account. From our logs we know that you already chosen the use of the ActiveSync.
In case of ActiveSync, import your contacts into already created PhoneCopy account in your BlackBerry device https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_synchronize_contacts_to_blackberry_10
After adding your contacts, they will be synchronized to PhoneCopy.com server automatically.
How to import contacts (for BB OS 10.3.2.2474 and higher):
1) Go to your contacts list in your BlackBerry device
2) Longly click on one contact, options appear
3) Choose Select more (last option)
4) Select all contacts you want to move to ActiveSync account
5) Press Copy to
6) Select the checkbox with your ActiveSync account with name PhoneCopy
7) Press Done
please, can somebody advise
really bad customer service
Hi, your first request was answered during one hour. Then you reported it doesn't work for you and we asked our technical team to check what should be a problem and it takes time. Anyway you are using FREE service and you feel answer less than one hour as bad service? Sorry, but it is not fair from you! We are doing best.
sorry I hadn't seen the comment below, I'm going to follow these new steps
it didn't work, do you have a number I can call you?
Answered via private email.
I transferred my contacts from Blackberry Z10 to Phone Copy. I transferred the contacts from Phone Copy to my iphone5 and lost all contacts that were on iPhone 50 total. The sync was set to transfer and save both ways. Can I retrieve the lost contacts from iPhone?
Hello, according to our log, you picked one-way sync from server which deleted all contacts on the phone. You should be able to retrieve the old contacts from iCloud (if you have) or iTunes backup.

I would like to delete my phonecopy account as if I never signed up. How do I do that? I would like to start fresh as my contacts are all duplicated and tripled now and there is so simple way to fix it.
For any cases there is available Duplicates manager which solves duplicates. Also in the account settings there is option to terminate account.
I am getting an error CRADS Database ERROR(5211). there is an error converting UNICODE string to or from code page string. Kindly help me with the solution.
Hello, it is an issue for BlackBerry support. If this issue concerns BlackBerry Desktop Software, I found some solution and it is a downgrade of this software to older version (current version contains a bug). For more information contact your BlackBerry support.

Please check our guide: https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_synchronize_contacts_to_blackberry_10
I'm using BB z10, why I couldnt find Phonecopy app in my BBworld
Hi, we just checked BBWorld and PhoneCopy is available. Can you please check once more?
Hi there, My collogue has premium PhoneCopy accout, current he is using Blackberry passport device configured as Microsoft exchange activesync and didn't sync with workspace contacts to phonecopy account. Please advise.
Microsoft Exchange activesync is solution to get contacts synchronized TO device. If you need synchronize contacts FROM device to PhoneCopy you need to use PhoneCopy application from BlackBerry AppWorld. https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_synchronize_contacts_from_blackberry_10
I would like to insert contacts from another phone in my phone copy account. I don't have the phone anymore but the file is still in my phone copy account as not synchronized. Is this possible?
If you have your contacts stored on your PhoneCopy account, you just connect your new device to it and contacts will be synchronized to new device
I need instructions how to sync CALENDAR.. the app only synced contacts.. blackberry z10
Hi, there is alternative solution to synchronize Calednar from PhoneCopy.com to server using ActiveSync protocol. Connect your Z10 to PhoneCopy using Exchange server settings. It is limilar to Windows Phone settings https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_synchronize_contacts_to_windows_phone_8_1
UPDATE #2 - They are there. I didn't see the second group in my contacts app on the BB and looked in the original email account. Also there on the phone contacts. Many thanks to the Team for a great product. I'll be quiet now...
Thank you!
Update... I goofed with the wrong email address. updated to use firstname.lastname@example.com and it went ahead and set up the PhoneCopy contacts account on my Z10 but it didn't synch with the website. I'm stumped. Thanks.
Hi guys - I really wanted this to work. I got my contacts here in Phonecopy fine then followed the instructions attached and on the YouTube to the letter (for synch onto a Z10) and at the end of the process got a message "This account has already been added" "OK". Press OK and sadly no contacts were synched. Please help1 What did i do wrong? Thanks anyone.
Hi, from our records it looks you have synchronized all your contacts to BlackBerry phone.
How do I restore my contacts from phonecopy server to my blackberry z10.
Hi, following guide will help: https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_synchronize_contacts_to_blackberry_10

I was down at the East Lothian Local History Centre last week looking for photos of a Musselburgh fish restaurant which was run by a client's relatives in the early 1900's. I had to look through 12 archival storage boxes, which was no hardship for me.
Musselburgh is a long-established fishing town on the East Coast of Scotland near Edinburgh and I was most intrigued when I found this photograph. Noted on the back is "the race for the shawl during Fisherman's Walk Celebration c1935". But they're not men and they're not walking!
Everyone seems to be having a good time. The Fisherman's Walk was an annual celebration held on the first Saturday in September to mark the end of the fishing season, and part of the tradition was the "Race for the Shawl", along with the street procession through the decorated streets, dancing and a Thanksgiving service on the Sunday.
Women never went to sea, but it was down to them to sell the fish when the boats returned and these "walking fishwives"often travelled 20 miles carrying creels weighing up to a hundredweight (120lbs, or almost 51kg) on their backs. Their outfits were distinctive striped skirts with a matching apron which was folded up to use as a money belt when they were selling. Here's a postcard showing the traditional garb while stationary!
The cry of "caller* herrin" through the streets would have alerted customers that fresh fish was for sale. These strong women were renowned for being rather fearsome and prone to using bad language, however many attended meetings at the Scottish Coast Mission Hall. There was a Fishwives Choir, and fishwives from Fisherrow Harbour at Musselburgh often played golf against their counterparts from Newhaven further up the coast.
The Statistical Account for Scotland (1834-45) comments on the Musselburgh fishwives "as having an uncommonly robust and masculine aspect" – I bet no one would have dared say that to their faces 🙂
Scotland's last walking fishwife, Betty Millar from Musselburgh, passed away in 2000 – she still wore the traditional outfit, but travelled by train to sell her fish.
I'm so pleased that this photo shouted at me from its archival folder and inspired me to do a little research!
* caller means fresh

A horrific crash on Easter Sunday in Granada Hills left three dead, with just one survivor: the driver of a plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt.
Investigators say the 20-year-old Volt driver was saved by his car. The three who died in the March 31 collision were in a late model Honda Accord, which slammed into the Volt at high speed.
A 2011 study from the Highway Loss Data Institute found that hybrid drivers and passengers are 25 percent less likely to be injured in a crash than those in similar non-hybrid models.
Local news from across Southern California
That's because hybrids are about 10 percent heavier than their standard counterparts, according to the study, produced by an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The electric motor and large batteries add that heaviness. For example, the study noted, a 3,600-pound hybrid Honda Accord midsize sedan, can weigh as much as 480 pounds more than a conventional Accord.
"Weight is a big factor," says Matt Moore, Highway Loss Data Institute vice president and an author of the report said in 2011. "Hybrids on average are 10 percent heavier than their standard counterparts. This extra mass gives them an advantage in crashes that their conventional twins don't have."
Locally, a spokesman for AAA said hybrids are some of the safest cars on the road. However, spokesman Steve Mazor warned that hybrids are smaller on average and definitely won't hold up well against a pickup or larger truck.
"If you put the extra weight of batteries and an electric motor and controllers in any size of vehicle, if that vehicle is a little bit heavier, it tends to do a little bit better in a collision," Mazor said.
On the other hand, the 2011 study showed that in part because hybrids are so quiet, they are as much as 20 percent more likely to be involved in a crash with pedestrians.

Find how many even Fibonacci numbers are available in the first d numbers.
Consider the following first 14 numbers
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 ...
4 of them are even.
Big number is a problem. Instead we can find the regular pattern in which those even and odd numbers appear. Then everything becomes simple and easy.
i have the program on my matlab it work normaly but cody does not accepet the code don't know why?????
function y = evenFibo(n)
y(1) = 1;y(2) = 1;
for i = 3:n
y(i) = y(i-1) + y(i-2);
e = y;
E = mod(e,2) == 0;
evennumbers = e(E);
y = length(evennumbers);
if n > 2
fprintf('The even Fibo number is: %d',y)
What's wrong with this?? It's working in matlab for me .
The fibonacci() function is in a toolbox. Only functions in vanilla Matlab are recognized by Cody.
My code works to d=50 and fails on the higher values in the test suite. I think it is a hardware-limited rounding error (?swamping) with very large numbers. When I test eps(fibonacci(100)) on my system, the answer is 6.5 ie my system can not accurately distinguish odd from even at that large a number.
Leo, your theory is correct: The numbers that you're calculating for d>50 are too large to be represented by a 32-bit digit, and won't be calculated correctly for mod(x,2). Think very carefully about the number pattern in the Fibonacci sequence, and see if a pattern emerges.
Indeed, My code works until the d = 50 because it's a large number, so our algorithm is correct we should not worry about it, I think we have succeed in this challenge.

Running Shoes are special shoes that allow the player to run. They are usually received from the player's mother, although they are received from an old man in Cherrygrove City in the HeartGold and SoulSilver versions. To use them, hold down B while moving. In most games (Except in Generation IV, Generation V and Generation VI), the player can't run inside buildings.
Running will cause other Pokémon Trainers to look in your direction, so they cannot be used to quickly slip by unnoticed. As soon as they notice the player, they will engage the player in a battle.
The Running Shoes allow the player to run instead of walk by holding the B button and pressing the D-pad in any direction. There are a few places that cannot be run through, such as very tall, thick grass or deep snow. In Generation IV, instead of being limited to certain buildings as in past games, all buildings allow running, but deep snow is added in which one can sometimes run but never bike. Attempting to dodge Trainers with the Running Shoes will attract the attention of the Trainer and cause them to face towards the player. Running through the tall grass increases the chance of being attacked by a wild Pokémon.
In Pokémon Adventures, Norman gave Ruby a pair of Running Shoes. Like in the game, it allows Ruby to run more faster than the normal one using compacted air to push him.
The speed at which players can run is about twice as that of walking, although slower than any of the bicycles.

Winching 101
You can't stop thorns, amoeba and the occasional reptile from hindering your winching experience, but you can take steps to make it the best possible time. You can't set security to no bust like Xbox, but you can minimize the chance of get busted. If you're going winching, remember these simple rules and not only will it make your set better, but keep the waters open and clean for sets to come.
Rule 1. Cops are your friends. A lot of times, being nice to your local cop will keep everything cool. If winch spots have posted No Trespassing signs you can get in trouble. Do not get yourself in more trouble by not complying with the cop. Explain to the officer what you're doing and put on your best smile. Just be cool and a lot of times everything will end up cool.
Rule 2. Keep your winch spot clean. Numerous spots have turned into a bust because people left piles of trash and tore up the landscape. Do not give people a reason to kick you out. Be respectful of your winch spot and make it look like you were never there.
Rule 3. Always secure your winch. Placing it in an area with an obstacle in front of it keeping it from moving is great. Or have some stakes to keep it from moving, another solution when there is nothing to stop it. Bring some tie downs or straps to keep it secure. You might think your winch is not going anywhere until one day it's 10 feet under water.
Rule 4. Winch maintenance is key! Love your winch and your winch will love you back. Give it a little grease and check your oil level regularly. The winch engine is just like a car, it needs to be maintained to run at its peak. Make sure everything stays tight on the winch also. Nothing sucks more then your spool coming loose when you finally pull the rope out.
Rule 5. Bring friends, but not too many. Friends are great to have when you winch, but too many people can ruin the set. Having a huge crowd of people is not going to help your bust factor. Remember, if your going to a very public area to winch do not turn your winch spot into a party. Coolers full of beer and loud music will have the cops or owners on you in no time.
Rule 6. Spread the stoke. When spectators ask "what are you doing?" tell them!
So get out there and winch! Keep searching for new spots in places you would never think of looking. Have fun with it and keep the All American winching dream alive. And when there are NO WINCHING signs posted at spots, we will all know that wakeskating has hit the big time!

Years ago I watched a very good friend present a seminar on public relations strategy. She was speaking on the subject of writing Press Releases, and she walked out on stage with a child's ballet Tutu in her hand. Holding it up, she announced to the audience the Tutu rule: two pages is too long!
What a great mnemonic!
So, Press Release... Forum Moderation Policy... the Tutu rule seems to apply.
A number of folks have indicated an interest in the contents for a policy on the use and moderation of our forum.
So, I encourage you to comment here. However, keep in mind the Tutu rule: if your entire policy takes more than a page... well, a page and a half at most... then it's too long, and no doubt overbearing. (that would be a page of 8.5" x 11" paper with 1.5-2 linespaced text.)
The policywriting is in process... now's the time to have a say.

Basil King -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]On Behalf Of gregory j. rosmaita Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 3:21 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Cc: "Lois Wakeman"; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Accessibility of ALT texts aloha, lois! an equally important question is, what style rules are inherited by the ALT text when it is rendered inline? it isn't sufficient merely to force the browser to display all of the ALT text defined for an IMG, regardless of whatever height and width has been defined for the unrendered image--the ALT text has to be usable, and it is my understanding (based upon inquiries made of sighted users, and work with low vision users) that, aside from Opera, most GUI browsers display the ALT text in a miniscule font, over the presentation of which the user has very little to no control... but, what style rules should ALT text inherit? should they simply inherit whatever styles have been defined for the structural element in which they are contained (such as P, DIV, etc.), or should they be granted a class of their own, so that authors can stylistically convey to users (who have support for image placeholders turned off, or for whom such placeholders are meaningless) that what you are seeing/hearing/feeling is a textual equivalent for an object that hasn't been rendered? obviously, the superior solution is to use the OBJECT instead of the IMG tag, as the OBJECT, by virtue of being a container, provides a means of providing rich, stylable alternative/conditional content, but for backwards compatability's sake, a lot of designers/hosts are loathe to use the OBJECT element to reference images... my primary concern about CSS and images, however, is the inability to provide alternatives for images which are referenced via a stylesheet (other than using a number of hacks, such as generated pseudo-elemental text, which is problematic, as content generated via the stylesheet won't be carried through the DOM)... for example, while i can reference a background image using a stylesheet, as i did for my QA position paper [1], using the following bit of CSS: background-position: top left; background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: url(http://www.w3.org/QA/images/qabg.png); there isn't any means for me to associate an alternative equivalent for it--such as: background-image: url(http://www.w3.org/QA/images/qabg.png), alt("Quality Assurance & Conformance"); another matter for consideration are images defined through stylesheets (using the list-style-image syntax) for use as list item markers--while the browser should (at least logically) default to its native list calculation algorithms/rendering rules (i.e. bullets, asterisks, numeric sequences) if image rendering is turned off, not all browsers do so (just as not all browsers support CSS2's nested list counters and scope rules)... this should, perhaps, be more explicitly spelt out in CSS3, although it might already be--i couldn't locate a link to CSS3 Module 14 "Generated Content/Markers" cited as a dependency in the CSS3 Selectors Module's 26 January 2001 draft... moreover, a means of providing a fallback if image rendering is turned off (a.k.a. a cascade) is also necessary--syntax that allows for the following cascade order if image rendering is turned off, (a) use client-side style rules for lists; (b) generate list markers according to the following (author-supplied) rules or (c) default to the UA's default stylesheet for the list type for which the list-style-image has been defined... just my 2 cents, gregory.

PrimeCircle ND glass filters produce a grey neutral tone and are used to reduce light, enabling more control over exposure and depth of field without affecting color or contrast. ND Glass filters are especially useful in bright light conditions to avoid overexposure. When using wider lenses they adjust exposure correctly, allowing for reduced depth of field.
This enables highlighting of the principal subject and taking the foreground or background out of focus.
PrimeCircle Filter 4"x5,65" ND 0.9 Neutral Density (3 stops)
PrimeCircle Filters
PrimeCircle professional filters offer to filmmakers, videographers and photographers a complete line of cost-effective 4 X 4" and 4 X 5,65" filters with high grade professional quality without compromise.
PrimeCircle filters are diamond cut from German Ultra-White optical glass, the best quality solution for modern high resolution lenses! The parallel relationship between front and rear surfaces (important for the best optical performance) is verified with a laser interferometer and a densitometer is used for testing consistent density. To check proper light transmission is also used a spectrophotometer!
Two sizes are available right now: 4x4" and 4x5,65" in a full range of Technical, Diffusion and ND Grad filters for the modern digital production needs.
In the Technical section are available the IRND X-FS Extended Full Spectrum, optimized for digital sensors and reformulated with nearly flat attenuation of both visible spectrum light and infrared light, the classic ND filters, Hot-Mirror, Circular and Linear Polarizers. In the Diffusion section are availbale the Black X-Mist and White X-Mist series designed to add "magic organic" to every digital "rasor edge" shot. The ND Grad section has the basic "hard and soft" edge graudated filters important to cover several tricky light conditions or adding power and control to landscapes shots! ND Grad are often not only used to control high contrast outdoor scenes but used to design sophisticated framings.

The EU is in talks to renew an agreement allowing US authorities to scrutinise European banking transactions as part of US anti-terrorism efforts.
Existing arrangements dating from 2007 - which existed in much the same form but in secret before then - allow US anti-terror investigators to access European bank transfer transaction data maintained by Swift (Society of Worldwide Inter bank Financial Telecommunications) under controlled circumstances. Swift is due to move its primary internet servers from the US to a data centre in the Netherlands later this year, necessitating changes in a gentlemen's agreement that has existed since the 9/11 terrorism attack.
US security agencies have had access to Swift data under the Terrorist Finance Tracking Programme (TFTP) since 2001, but the programme only became public knowledge in June 2006, after the scheme was revealed in a New York Times story. The US Treasury made promises to the EU regarding the controls and safeguards to accompany the TFTP scheme in June 2007.
The US Treasury has the right to serve "administrative subpoenas" on SWIFT for the financial records of suspected individuals or organisations. The scheme is restricted exclusively to anti-terrorism investigations, according to the agreement at least.
An EU review carried out by Judge Jean-Louis Bruguière concluded in February 2009 that subpoenaed SWIFT message data is "adequately protected" and that the programme is justified in the fight against the financing of terrorism.
However, German politicians have expressed concerns about the scope of US scrutiny of international bank records and transactions, Der Spiegel reports.
EU Justice Commissioner Jacques Barrot responded on Monday by arguing it would be "extremely dangerous" to curtail the surveillance of banking transactions while stressing that US trench coats would not be given a blank cheque.
"The US authorities would continue to temporarily access the relevant data only after legal verification and under strict judicial control," he said, the BBC reports.
A spokesperson for SWIFT was unable to immediately provide El Reg with a timescale for re-negotiation of the TFTP arrangements or say when its main servers will be relocated to Europe. SWIFT, which is based in Belgium and co-operatively owned by 8,000 banks, handles 15 million bank transfers a day. ®

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
I hope you all had a great Christmas, I did.
I spent the day at my parents' and then came back to my place to open presents.
A quick run down of a few gifts that I found interesting.
Gift I can't wait to use:
Camping equipment – a tent and air mattress. I've never been camping before. It looks like that will change this summer.
Most unexpected gift:
An acupuncture mat for my back.
Most baseball related gift:
Or maybe, this PNC Park Snow-Globe.
Also, I got some drum sticks that Carter Beauford uses.
I actually caught a drumstick from Carter Beauford at the Hershey PA show this year. It was the highlight of my concert going – but I gave it away to a friend that attended the show with me. I was glad to have it replaced.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Its not about the gifts, its about finding happiness. I thought I'd just share some things that I got with you.
The next day it was off to Oglebay in West Virginia for several days of relaxation.

2012 – retrospect
Let's look back on 2012 and see what happened in my game life and in my real life!
Indie Game Development
First 6 months was quite productive in terms of hobbyist game making. I spent a lot of time on Pixelizer which started getting into great shape and it was now the engine I used for pretty much everything I did. I even gathered up the courage to go open source and put it up on GitHub. It gathered some interest and was even used in a few LD entries.
In February I made Circus 200 for Pirate Kart V. Quite happy with the result of 2 hours coding and pixeling, even if the game leaves much to wish for.
A few months later LD 23 was coming up fast and I really wanted to join since it was the 10th anniversary and all. A few weeks before I warmed bu with another micro game and 4 hours later Bee's Knees Bees was made. A pretty lousy game actually. But it still counts.
The theme for LD23 was Tiny Worlds, and I went with a cliff notes version of Super Mario Bros: A Super Mario Summary. The game was received extremely well and got posted all around the internet and on twitter. A great experience as I was quite happy with the end result myself.
Public Speaking
I was invited to talk at two major venues during 2012, also during the first half of the year. I held the keynote at SIDeR'12 (Scandinavian Student Interaction Design Research Conference), talking about gamification and social games. Lots of great discussions after the talk and interesting questions. In april I also talked at the Trans Europa Express conference in Rome, about how we're running Free Lunch Design. Less engaged audience, but Rome was a beautiful city in spring. Who knew?
Real Life
Late in June it finally happened, I became a father! Huge! Since then priorities shifted and the amount of time I spend on DIY game making shrunk. For a good reason! Caring for a small baby has been a lot of fun, but also quite tiring. But fun! Did I say it's fun?
Most of the year was dedicated to creating a sequel to Icy Tower, cleverly named Icy Tower 2. Apart from vacation and the time around my son's birth, it was pretty much what I worked on all year. We released it for iOS in November and for Android in December with great success. The community was quick to pick it up and reception was really nice.
All in all a very good year. I had hoped to make more games, but having a kid was more fun. Also, making games at work and continuing at home isn't always the best idea. Sometimes it works, but a lot of times I'm pretty fed up.
Old news
Hey there, what's actually going on these days? Ok, I know there hasn't been much blogging lately but I have a really good excuse - a little more than 5 months ago I became a father! So obviously the little fellow takes priority over a lot of stuff, in a good way. But I thought I should add some stuff here about what's been happening lately outside real life.
Is it still being developed? Absolutely! Just a lot slower than before. Currently I'm rewriting the collision system to be more flexible and powerful. In the dev version I've also streamlined all the systems that work inside Pixelizer so that they work in the same way, and making it possible to add custom systems that operate on whatever entities you want. Check out the github page for the latest details!
I rarely write about what I do at work here, but now I just have to. We've spent the last 6 months working on the sequel to Icy Tower and a few weeks ago, Icy Tower 2 was released for iOS! The game has been going really good since and managed to reach a million downloads in only ten days. I'm really proud of the game and I think it is a very worthy sequel.
There's a few ideas bouncing around in my head, but nothing that has really stuck so far. Hoping to get some time after new years to at least make a prototype. That's it for now, hopefully next post will have a little more substance. With the current rate, I might as well wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Pixelizer 0.4.3
A lot of fixes later I can finally push Pixelizer 0.4.3! Mostly bug fixes but a new feature is the ability to record and replay input. This can be seen in A Super Mario Summary and is a really neat way to make replays and other fun stuff. Another feature is a central repository for storing global things.
2012-05-13, 0.4.3, "the squasher of bugs"
- fixed underflow bug in collision detection code
- fixed broken visibility control on tilemaps
- fixed gotoAndStop in animation component to work before render component is detected
- minor changes to the collision example
- removed default values on grid collider construction
- added NO_FLIP to Pixelizer constants
- added possibility to horizontally flip movieclip pre rendering
- fixed bug that caused non animated animations not to flip when needed
- fixed box collider not to collide with grids and other boxes by default
- fixed to that animation component doesn't crash if animation not found
- remove store and fetch functions from PxSpriteSheet and PxBitmapFont
- added PxRepository for centralized storage
- renamed functions for handling collision layers in in PxColliderComponent
- added shadow offset to PxTextComponent
- added "POWERED BY" text to logo
- fixed bug that caused jump through floors to sometimes pop entities up to their level
- added basic input recording and playback
- fixed bug that caused global sounds to be unmutable
- added version number to PxLogoEntity
- added simple record/replay example
- removed AssetFactory in order to make examples easier to understand

Coverage of A Super Mario Summary
Almost three weeks has passed since A Super Mario Summary was released and the Ludum Dare judging end in less than two days. Before that happens, I thought I'd take the opportunity to look at how the game was received by the internet.
Once it was picked up by Kotaku, it seemed to spread like wild fire and there was a constant stream of recommendations pouring on twitter. This led to that a lot of non gaming sites (The Verge, Bar Stool Sports, Brain Magazine, Church Mag, etc) picked up the game as well, something which always warms my heart a little extra. When site like Destructoid and Boing Boing it also seemed to reach other parts of the world (only only US) and a lot of sites from Europe (even Swedish sites! FZ, Feber ) and South America also wrote about it. Finally it was also great fun to see it picked up by Japanese sites, even if I couldn't even remotely understand the google translation.
All in all it was a crazy dopamine rush seeing my game all over the internet!
Here's all the sites I've found that wrote about the game (in more or less chronological order). Thank you for spreading the word!

How to restore your Super Mario Summary progress
I had to move some files around this weekend and for some of you that might have led to that you lost your progress in A Super Mario Summary. Sorry about that, but there is hope! Follow these simple steps to get it back:
- Save a level or two in the new version of the game. (The one where you lost your progress.)

Missing link on Pittsburgh to D.C. trail to be completed
Final link of Great Allegheny Passage due in June
The missing link in a bicycle trail connecting the Pittsburgh area to Washington D.C., should be finished in May and will be formally dedicated at a June 15 ceremony.
Ground was broken in October on the final mile of the Great Allegheny Passage, a 141-mile bicycle trail from the Pittsburgh area to Cumberland, Md. That's where the Great Allegheny Passage links up with the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath, which stretches to Washington, D.C.
The June event will include a ribbon cutting near Sandcastle Waterpark, where the final link of the trail is being built just east of Pittsburgh. A bicycle ride to Pittsburgh's Point State Park will follow, where a party will be held celebrating the trail's completion.
The celebration is being delayed so renovations of the park's fountain can be finished first.

text: I finally got my degree grade today, 2:1 It is not the 1st I was aiming for but, considering what I have been through, it is amazing. I came so close to giving up on my degree and my life, but I went back and completed it. It was my hubby and my counsellor that helped me reach the end. Without their constant support and willingness to listen and point out my strengths, when all I saw was weaknesses, I could not have returned to the source of my struggles. Not only that but I got some amazing grades in those last few weeks. My GP is now talking about reducing/changing my meds soon (I am already off the propranolol and stayed off them this time) and I am no longer seeing her every 2 to 6 weeks (I have got to see her in 3 months, but that is for a physical problem). I still have bad days but nowhere near as bad as they were and it is probably down to too much thinking time and uncertainty about the future (roll on finding a job). I miss the really happy me, as opposed to the ok me, but my psychotherapist said venlafaxine can prevent me feeling strong emotions and when I come off it I may find the happy me again (she has also said to take at least 100 days to come off it). The sun does shine again.

I must share it on my blog.
I am not in the mood to discuss whether Morsi should call Peres a good and great friend but it seems to me that the MB should stop lying to themselves before the public because they look so bad now , how can anyone trust them !?

Purple rose
5:22 PM | Posted by 6060 | Edit Post
Last night finally I got some time to crochet a rose on Alla's purple hat. It's too plain to begin with. I found a pattern online but it didn't say what think a yarn to use and how big the crochet hook is, therefore I just try to make one by what I have. The rose is a little too big, I think, but this will be a good memory to make this and next time I will just adjust the size of hook and yarn. No matter what, this is my very first flower I crochet and I love it. <3 <3
Wash Clothes
12:39 AM | Posted by 6060 | Edit Post
Recently I have been making wash clothes for my sister in law. Then I crochet more for my shop. It can be used as dish clothes, face scrub, baby wash clothes, table clothes, dishrags. The yarn I am using is 100% cotton yarn. It's very sturdy and colorful. It's easy to clean, and hang dry. I am feeling making art because each piece that I produce is different. The pattern and color are the same, but it turns out forming differently, kind of like giving a few kids with same color pen but each one draws different things. :) I feel so young of doing that because it's like I am doing art like I was in my high school age, good times, good times! :P

Alla and blue dress
11:24 AM | Posted by 6060 | Edit Post
I made Alla new dress last night. She is happy that she got this new dress and she demanded to take pictures this morning under the sun. She also asked about going outside. Alla: mama, it's 65F outside, I can wear this sundress and it will be nice to lay down on the grass. Mama: gal, the grass is all wet from the rain! Alla: please please please.. Mama: You sound like the other girl I have! *sigh*.

Alla and her new hat
9:18 AM | Posted by 6060 | Edit Post
I made this purple hate for Alla when Evie and Katie were taking a nap. The hat is a little plain and simple, I think I need to add a flower on it, or at least something!! Well.. when the time I finished this hat, it was time to cook dinner and woke up my angels, there fore I couldn't do anything with it yet. Evie is getting jealous of me playing Blythe dolls and not playing her Barbie dolls with her. She saw Alla's hat and said " Mommy, I want one too". I said "Ok, I will make one for you Barbie", then she is satisfied. :) The very first day I got my dolls, these are the conversations I had with Evie Me: Look! I got new dolls. Evie: Mommy, let me see (usually means she want to hold it) Me: Evie, you got to be careful, these are expensive, you can't play with it, it's not for you to play. Evie: but Mommy why? Me: These are for mommy, not for you, you got your Barbie dolls. Evie: I share my Barbie dolls with you. You got to share, mommy! (it's a payback for me cos we have been telling her to share her toys with Katie) Me: Evie, I can't share this with you, it's really expensive. Evie: why not? I share my toys with you, you share yours with me. (OUCH) Me: Ok, you can pull the string here, okok, not too hard here, be careful.... ......

Karen Mulligan and Jill Demling are longtime friends, designers and co-founders of Pret-a-Surf, a women's surf line for the stylish surfer. As athletes who love fashion, they decided to launch a collection that's both fashionable and functional, which was definitely missing from the surfwear scene. What we found especially impressive is that Karen, studio manager for photographer Annie Leibovitz, and Jill, Entertainment Editor at Vogue, launched their line on top of their full-time jobs. We got a sneak peek of their newest collection (arriving in stores in November) and talked to the stylish ladies about their line, surfing and juggling it all.
Tell us a little bit about Pret-a-Surf. How are your collections different from other surfwear?
Pret-a-surf marries fashion, form and function. Ready to surf, ready to wear. Unlike other female surf brands on the market, we wanted to create rashguards specifically cut for a woman's body. Most brands just offer a smaller version of their men's rashguard, not taking into account a woman's curves.
Were you at all hesitant or fearful about launching a line, especially while holding down your full-time jobs?
We were too naive to know what we were getting ourselves into, but we love a challenge and needed an outlet for our creativity, love for sports and love for fashion. We are very motivated women and knew we could succeed at anything we put our minds to.
Was there a specific incident or moment that you decided to just go for it? So many people can't get from the idea stage to the actual execution stage.
We had so many ideas of pieces we wanted to make. We had hundreds of pages of inspiration. We knew we had to give this idea a life, and once we had our first sketches, we knew there was no turning back.
What do you love most about surfing?
The freedom you feel.
"One is not born a woman, one becomes one." Very powerful quote by Simone de Beauvoir. What about this came to be Pret-a-Surf's motto?
We are inspired by strong women and have worked for strong women for years. Pret-a-Surf is a women's surf line for women who are powerful, inspiring and have an opinion. This is one of many famous women's quotes that inspire us.
How do you want women to feel when wearing a piece from your line?
We want women to feel sexy and confident and beautiful and inspired to do anything. We want women to look feminine while playing with the boys. We all know when you look good, you feel good!
When I am out on the water riding a wave, I feel _________.
What is your favorite late-night bite?
Pizza and popcorn
What are your favorite late-night pairings?
Champagne and chocolates
Where do you like to hangout nightlife-wise in NY and LA?
The Windsor in NYC and the Spare Room in LA
What is your favorite thing between two buns?
A hot dog, of course!
Tune in to the "SoCal Surf" episode of 1st Look this Saturday on NBC after Saturday Night Live.
Check out Karen and Jill introducing us to Pret-a-Surf earlier this year!

Fidgety USB
A few weeks ago I was lamenting how everything is built into my PC, so I don't get the chance to go shopping for goodies to plug into it as much as in the past. However, it is relatively easy to plug in USB devices, although it is somewhat less satisfying to my inner geek.
Linux-based boards like the Raspberry Pi or the Beagle Bone usually have some general-purpose I/O capability, but it is easy to forget they also sport USB ports. Adding a hub offers a wide range of expansion options. It wasn't long ago that I used a USB sound card and a Raspberry Pi to decode touch tones. That's a pretty obvious USB peripheral. There are more exotic ones, though.
A few years ago, I worked on a system for a museum that needed to identify different cast rubber livers. A patron would insert the liver into a mannequin's body cavity, and a face would appear along with audio describing if the liver was healthy or not. Imagine the character saying, "I drank too much and now I have cirrhosis."
The original system (that I inherited) used a strange and error-prone method to determine which liver was present. It relied on magnets, reed switches, and a cannibalized PC keyboard. My search for a better solution led me to a company called Phidgets. They make a wide range of USB sensors including some for load cells, pH, temperature, voltage, current, and many other quantities and functions. They are also fairly inexpensive as these sort of things go.
The one I was especially interested in was the RFID reader. Once connected to the PC and an RFID chip stuffed in each liver, detecting which one was inserted was a piece of cake. In this particular case, I was using a Windows-based PC but the RFID interface has example code for a variety of situations including Linux, Mac, LabView, Java, and even Flash.
I haven't tried any of these on a Raspberry Pi or Beagle, but there's no reason they shouldn't work like any other USB device will. If you crave something more custom (or otherwise unobtainable), an Arduino Leonardo would be another option to bring custom I/O into a USB port. It is easy to make these send keyboard or mouse input, which you can read very easily.
In the past, SPI or I2C have served to some degree as an embedded system bus. Larger systems rely on things like CAN. However, with the price of hardware falling and operating systems moving towards Linux and similar operating systems, maybe USB is the bus of choice for simple systems.

Meet She Wolf Bakery, the Bread Behind Roman's, Diner, and Marlow & Daughters
Stories about the loaves we love.
An empty oven is a baker's opportunity. Four years ago, the owners of Roman's in Fort Greene decided that they wanted to use their wood-fired oven to bake bread in the hours that it wasn't pushing out pizzas. Austin Hall was a baker who had first learned the trade at Hi-Rise up in Cambridge and then came to New York to work under Peter Endriss at Bouchon and Sullivan Street's Jim Lahey.
Austin connected with the Roman's team and the baker soon found himself showing up at 3 a.m. to take advantage of the oven's residual heat.
Today, Austin presides over She Wolf Bakery (named after the symbol of Rome's founding), which produces all the bread used by Brooklyn's Diner empire, including Diner itself, Roman's, Marlow & Sons, Reynard, and Marlow & Daughters. Due to its growing production, She Wolf now operates out of a rented commissary space in Long Island City. The bakers only have eight hours a day to mix, shape, and bake; because of constraints on their lease, they're locked into a 16-hour fermentation period. (They're looking for a permanent baking and retail space.)
She Wolf's flagship loaf is its Sourdough Regular ($6), the first bread Austin produced in the Roman's pizza oven. It's an orange-brown batard in the classic football shape with one big slash down the back. As a loaf, it's the total package, with a great interplay between texture and flavor. The crust is both crispy—shards fly all over when you cut into it—and chewy, with a slight caramelized flavor. Inside the crumb is moist, only slightly sour, with a subtle but fine aroma.
For more highly developed browning, try the Sourdough Pullman (half loaf, $4). This is the same dough as the batard but baked in a pullman pan. It emerges from the oven with its crust looking as if it had been passed under a flamethrower, but this effect actually demonstrates a well-browned crust. When you bite into it, it has a bitter, slightly sweet and slighty sticky flavor and texture that makes a nice contrast to the mild sourdough crumb. It makes a perfect sandwich bread for children with refined tastes.
The She Wolf Miche (quarter, $5) is a puffy discus of a loaf. It's made from Farmer Ground whole wheat flour and natural leavening. Austin thinks of it as "pre-industrial" bread, crafted using ingredients and techniques similar to those used by bakers before industrial facilities and refrigeration. It has nice chewy crust and relatively dense crumb with a mild nutty aroma from the whole wheat flour.
The bakery's Pizza Bianca (one-third, $3.00) is another of those breads that were first cooked in the Roman's oven. Austin developed it to take advantage of the high heat left over from the pizza-making hours. Depending on where you draw the line, it's either a puffy pizza or a skinny focaccia. Either way, it's a delicious, chewy loaf, made from King Arthur white flour, drizzled in oil, and sprinkled with sea salt. I like to split a section and stuff it with sweet prosciutto.
Beyond these choices, She Wolf also makes a wide range of loaves, including baguettes, walnut loaves, hamburger buns, and pullmans made from baguette, whole wheat, and rye doughs. They're available daily after 4 p.m at Marlow & Daughters and also at Roman's and Dandelion Wine in Greenpoint.

LESLIE: Diane in Maryland is just not getting the proper pressure in her shower. What can we do for you today?
DIANE: Hi. I'm having trouble with the water pressure in my whole house, actually.
LESLIE: The whole house?
DIANE: I have low water pressure upstairs and really high water pressure downstairs. Is there anything I can do about it?
TOM: Low water pressure upstairs and high water pressure downstairs usually means that your main water line into the house is not delivering enough water and the fixtures that are the farthest away from the main water line have the least flow.
DIANE: Gotcha.
TOM: So that's not unusual. How old is your house?
DIANE: It's about 40 years old.
TOM: And what kind of pipes do you have coming into the house? Do you know?
DIANE: They're copper.
TOM: They're copper. So, the copper is not going to restrict like a steel pipe would but it might be a problem with the valve.
TOM: So the pattern that you're describing is probably plumbing-related in terms of a valve that's restricting water to the second floor. And what I would do is I would sort of dissect or have a plumber dissect the supply lines up to the second floor and figure out where the drop in pressure is.
TOM: Now, the pressure on the second floor that's low, is that low through all the fixtures in this bathroom? Is it one bathroom, first of all?
DIANE: It's the bathroom in the kitchen upstairs.
TOM: OK, so it's just one bathroom.
DIANE: (overlapping voices) So yes, all the fixtures.
TOM: And you say all the fixtures, so we're talking about both – what – a tub and shower and a sink?
DIANE: Yes.
TOM: Any problems with the toilet?
DIANE: Yes.
TOM: Hmm. Alright, well I would say to check the cold water supply line up to that space because I suspect that it's restricted somewhere and that's why you're having this pressure problem. I doubt very seriously there's any problem with the clogging of a pipe because as long as everything is copper there's really nothing for you to clog.
DIANE: OK. Well, thank you for your information. I want to check into that.
TOM: Alright, Diane. Good luck with that project. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT, 888-666-3974.
