The 2018 NBA preseason is here and you don't want to miss any of the action! Learn how you can watch the NBA preseason live stream without cable.
YouTube TV offers only one channel package, but it includes all the essential channels and unlimited cloud DVR .
NBA League Pass is a stand-alone streaming service that hooks you up with every out-of-market NBA game.
It's been a long summer NBA fans, but there's finally light at the end of the tunnel—the NBA preseason is upon us. If you're a true NBA fan, watching the NBA preseason is a must. And if you want to learn how to watch the NBA preseason online without cable, you're in the right place.
Our goal is to find a package that allows you to stream the NBA preseason. Luckily, we know NBA TV, ESPN, and TNT are the big three channels needed to watch the NBA preseason games, so we just have to find the streaming plan that will give us the best of each.
Let's run through your options of how to watch the NBA preseason.
Sling TV's orange package, combined with the Sports Extra add-on, is our top recommendation for live streaming the NBA preseason. You'll be getting ESPN, NBA TV, and TNT for $25 a month, not to mention a couple dozen other channels to check out. That's not a bad deal, especially when you look how much it costs to get those channels with the competition.
You might think that because Sling TV is the cheapest option, it means your overall channel selection must be less impressive. Well, no worries. Assuming you're a sports fan, you should be excited about the channel package since it includes the whole suite of ESPNs, college football channels, and even the NHL network. Plus, if you're feeling like enjoying a bit of drama and comedy on the side, you can stream AMC, TBS, or Comedy Central.
You'll be able to watch every nationally televised NBA preseason game with Sling TV, but the biggest problem is that you won't get local channels. Meaning, if your local team is playing a preseason game not being televised on ESPN, TNT, or NBA TV, you may be out of luck. We recommend checking to see what local channels you can pick up using an antenna. Just enter your zip code and see what you pick up in your area.
You may also consider paying the extra $5 per month for cloud DVR with your Sling TV subscription. That way, when you can't carve time out of your schedule to watch your favorite team's preseason game live, you could always record it for later. Just make sure to stay off Twitter—nobody likes game spoilers.
In the meantime, you can stream the NBA preseason free with a Sling TV 7-day trial.
YouTube TV gives you a lot of NBA coverage for $40 a month, just make sure you have a supported device before signing up.
There's only one package to choose from with YouTube TV, but thankfully, it's got all of your NBA preseason channels. On top of checking the ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV boxes, YouTube TV comes with over 50 other channels for $40 a month.
So, you know you've got preseason and nationally televised games covered with YouTube TV, but what about your local games? Fortunately, YouTube TV has lots of local sports coverage, as opposed to Sling TV. That means you can catch tons of regular season games too.
Your YouTube TV subscription comes with unlimited cloud DVR. But that's not even the best part—everything you record lasts for a whopping nine months. To put that number in context, PlayStation Vue also offers unlimited cloud DVR, but recordings only last 28 days.
So with YouTube TV, you can record essentially every game and keep every game for several months after the fact. You'll have a treasure trove of NBA games to cozy up with every night. Why not watch the Knicks take on the Suns if you can fast-forward through every commercial break?
YouTube TV covers its bases with Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku, but it doesn't support much beyond that.
Coming in third place for watching the NBA preseason online is PlayStation Vue. Yes, it does cost $15 more than Sling TV, which is easily its biggest drawback, but that doesn't mean PlayStation Vue isn't worth the money.
The cheapest monthly subscription for PlayStation Vue (the Core package) that includes ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV, costs $44.99 a month. That may sound like a lot, but it still definitely beats paying for cable. The package includes cloud DVR, more than 70 channels, and a really solid interface. If you're a sports fan, you'll really like the channels included in the PlayStation Vue package. You've got all the ESPNs, the NFL Network, and plenty of local channel coverage.
With PlayStation Vue, you'll have access to the big three NBA preseason channels: NBA TV, TNT, and ESPN. What's more, cloud DVR comes built in to your subscription, so you can watch the game whenever you want after it aired. For all the local coverage of NBA preseason in your area, PlayStation Vue is your best bet to get access. PlayStation Vue carries CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX. Hopefully your local affiliate station will carry the games that don't make it to national television.
Watch the NBA preseason for free using PlayStation Vue's 5-day trial.
There's no hiding it—the DIRECTV NOW package that includes NBA TV is pretty dang expensive (by streaming standards). That doesn't mean it's not a good choice, however; you're getting what you pay for in terms of channel variety.
If you decide to go with DIRECTV NOW to watch the NBA preseason, you'll be paying $60 a month for the "Go Big" package, which includes over 100 channels. Ultimately, justifying the price tag will completely depend on what you think of all those channels you'll be getting. Along with ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV, you can stream a plethora of sports, popular TV shows, and news networks. There will be no shortages of potential TV viewing in your house, that's for sure.
One important thing to note is that you'll be needing to watch the NBA preseason live. Currently, DIRECTV NOW doesn't offer cloud DVR, which means you'll need to arrange your schedule around your favorite team's games. On the other hand, sports are best viewed live, especially if you're an avid social media user.
DIRECTV NOW also offers the main local channels, which means if your team isn't playing on ESPN, TNT, or NBA TV, you'll have a better chance of watching the game.
Watch the NBA preseason free with a DIRECTV NOW 7-day free trial.
For whatever reason, the NBA League Pass FAQ page doesn't broach the subject of the preseason. But that's what we're here for.
We've confirmed that you can watch the NBA preseason online free with a league pass account. Your NBA League Pass subscription will include the preseason as well.
NBA League Pass pricing is broken down into three different packages. The cheapest package allows you to choose one team and get access to all its non-nationally televised games for $17.99 a month, or $119.99 for the whole season. It's perfect for the fan who mostly just cares about watching their particular team.
The middle package gives you access to every teams' non-nationally televised games for $28 a month or $199.99 for the entire season. The only thing you'd missing out on compared to the most expensive package is the in-arena streaming.
In-arena streaming means you don't need to watch commercials during timeouts—you can stay tuned into the action that's happening in between plays. The in-arena streaming package will cost you $39.99 a month or $249.99 for the whole season, so you'll need to decide if watching the Red Panda juggle plates and bowls during halftime is worth the extra cash.
If you're interested in signing up for NBA League Pass, you need to know about its blackout policy. Long story short: you can't stream your local team on NBA League Pass. When you create an account, you'll enter your zip code, and if you're within the region of a local team, you won't be able to stream their games.
For example, if I'm a fan of the Jazz, and I live in Salt Lake City (or a surrounding city), I won't be able to stream the Jazz using League Pass. That's why NBA League Pass is perfect for more general fans of the NBA who want to watch every team compete rather than their local ones. Make sure to keep that in mind when deciding how to watch the NBA preseason.
Speaking of blackouts, you also can't watch nationally televised games using League Pass. Meaning, if the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers are playing on TNT on a Thursday evening, you'll need to watch the game on TNT. Same story for games airing on ESPN, ABC, or NBA TV.
That may sound like a lot of blackouts, but rest assured, NBA League Pass is the best way to consume massive amounts of wonderful NBA hoops.
One thing NBA League Pass has going for it is incredible device coverage. You can stream NBA League Pass on pretty much every conceivable device.
No matter what you choose from our recommendations, you'll be able to watch the major NBA preseason games. What matters most is that the NBA is back, and we couldn't be happier about it.
Let us know what you decided in the comments, and keep us updated on how the experience goes! We're all in this together.

Recaptured from the Islamic State, Ramadi Destruction Is Worse than Anywhere Else in Iraq
By The New Arab
Global Research, March 09, 2016
The New Arab 3 March 2016
Url of this article:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/recaptured-from-the-islamic-state-ramadi-destruction-is-worse-than-anywhere-else-in-iraq/5513152
The state of destruction in Ramadi is the worst than anywhere else in Iraq, a UN team announced. They visited the ravished city for the first time since its recapture from Islamic State [IS] group in December by pro-Baghdad forces.
The damage was described by the group as "staggering" with the city's central hospital and main train station a pile of rubble, as are thousands of other buildings in the city.
"The destruction the team has found in Ramadi is worse than any other part of Iraq," said Lise Grande, the UN humanitarian coordinator in Iraq. "It is staggering."
Nearly every building in the frontline areas had been destroyed, the two-day-assessment found.
In other districts, a quarter or a third of buildings were damaged, the report said.
At least 64 bridges were completely destroyed, locals told the UN team.
The time and cost needed to rebuild Ramadi cannot yet be determined, Grande said.
Iraqi forces declared victory over IS in the Anbar province capital last December, after it was taken over by IS militants in May 2015.
Six months of fighting left the city's infrastructure shattered. Houses that once homed around half a million people were mostly levelled to the ground.
Meanwhile, IS militants continue to hold pockets of territory in the northern and eastern outskirts and the fighting there remains intense.

The UN team worked to identify potential relocation sites for returning residents but the Iraqi government is yet to give the all clear for the civilians to return to their homes.
Some displaced families did make their way back to liberated parts of the city, but the UN warned against the great risks faced from leftover bombs.
Bombs planted by IS militants in streets and buildings have not yet been cleared as the task requires funding the Iraqi government lacks.
The UN assessment team said the greatest concentration of booby traps was in south-central Ramadi.
Last week, the UN reported that eight people were killed while either surveying their homes or attempting to disable an explosive device.
"People who have been displaced want to return home as quickly as possible," Grande said.
"Making sure they can do so safely is everyone's responsibility. Booby-traps and IEDs have to be cleared first," she urged.
Bomb disposal teams defused hundreds of explosive devices across the city.
But the lack of funding has slowed efforts to clear Ramadi of explosives, Anbar's governor Suhaib al-Raqi said last month.
Iraq's economic crisis has left the province in debt and entirely reliant on international aid donations to rebuild
An initial assessment of destruction in Ramadi carried out by the UN in January said more than 4,500 buildings have been damaged or destroyed during the battle to reclaim the city.
In Iraq, more than three million people have been forced to flee their homes since January 2014, according to the UN.
It estimates that an additional three million people are living under IS control in Iraq.
In contrast, about 500,000 civilians have returned to their homes following the Iraqi military campaigns to bring areas back under government control.

A continuous global aviation fleet growth does not necessarily entail significant developments in the MRO market. Over time maintenance requirements per aircraft tend to decline because each generation of commercial aircraft or business jets is engineered to require less and less maintenance than the preceding one. This tendency has progressively changed over the last couple of years as the increasing financial pressure on airlines has forced them to seek ways to further reduce costs. According to FL Technics Jets, the MRO business is changing rapidly and the aviation industry growth will continue to generate new challenges for the MROs operating according to a one-stop-shop principle.
20 years ago after the Eastern European region opened up for partnerships with and investments from the Western organisations, many MROs were established based on calculations made with lower labour cost in mind. Over the last few years the labour rate advantage in the region has become marginal; however, according to the FL Technics Jets experts, it is still a highly important factor and, compared to Western MRO organisations, companies can still save up to 30%-35%. Nevertheless, the Eastern European market is expanding dramatically, and in no time the price differences between Eastern and Western European MROs will be the thing of the past.
'For instance, the price on the final invoice for the common c-checks provided in Bulgaria and Germany looks practically the same. Due to elaborate Western European IT systems, c-checks are performed within 5 days; the same service in the Eastern MRO companies can take up to 8 days. From the perspective of price, each MH costs a Western organization about EUR70, while in the East the same MH costs only EUR36-40. Despite this obvious price difference one must take into account the time that an aircraft spends on the ground – usually the owner ends up paying the same price", - says Darius Saluga, the CEO of FL Technics Jets.
FL Technics Jets experts emphasize that the growth in MRO activities will not follow the same trends as the entire aviation industry. With new aircraft entering the market there will be even more pressure on improving cost and performance indicators. According to the Bombardier Business Aircraft market forecast, over 60% of all new business jet orders are intended for replacing currently owned aircraft. Needless to say, each new generation of aircraft is more sophisticated than its predecessor.
According to Aerospace Global Report 2011, the engine manufacturing outlook seems positive. As airlines all over the world are faced with extreme pressure to lower the emissions and minimise environmental harm, experts anticipate ample demand for greener and more fuel-efficient engines. Over the next 20 years this demand is expected to reach 141,000 engines estimated at over USD800 billion.
Especially reliable CFM 56-5 and -7 engines, which power A320 and NG 737, GE Passport for Bombardier Global 7000/8000 or PW 617F-E for Embraer Phenom 100, enables aircraft to run considerably longer without the need of any servicing. For example, the B737 NG requires roughly half the scheduled man-hours compared to the predecessor classic B737 types. Moreover, the current average life of an aircraft is 25 years, while the older types would have retired much earlier. However, modern replacements offer better fuel efficiency. As a result, retirement ages are reducing and it is possible that the average lifespan could reduce to 15 years.
Furthermore, the trend of airlines outsourcing MRO work to continue - around 90% of engine MRO, 30% of line maintenance, 85% of component support and 75% of heavy airframe maintenance support is outsourced. Not only price, but turnaround time and quality of maintenance are key factors in an airline's decision to select an MRO provider.
'As concerns the major MRO trends the global aviation maintenance industry has excess capacity yet the obsession with building new hangars remains strong. In our opinion, Europe is over-crowded with hangars and there is absolutely no point in building new ones, especially in the same region and only for commercial aircraft or business jets. Instead MROs must focus on completely utilizing of the existing ones", - says D.Saluga.
According to D.Saluga, a great example is the commercial aircraft MRO provider FL Technics, operating fully packed hangars in Vilnius and Ukraine thus successfully minimising time gaps between each provided aircraft maintenance service. Another rule of thumb when aiming to fully utilize the potential of maintenance facilities is to avoid building hangars in the already well-stocked markets. That is why FL Technics address the most promising regions. Currently the company is in the final stages of preparations for building hangars in Ulyanovsk, Russia, where the company has already established a considerable client base and extensive favourable connections. According to FL Technics Jets, their business philosophy is clear: Firstly, fill all hangars with aircraft; Then, and only then, depending on the market demand in the region, you can build new hangars. Hangars in new regions make sense only if you already have clients.
'Everyone wants to have their own hangars, especially for different types of aircraft, but does anyone make a proper comparative cost-benefit analysis if filling the same hangars with both commercial and business type aircraft? Has anyone attempted to estimate how many engine shops are needed at the moment, for example in Malaysia? In Kuala Lumpur about 100 engines are repaired every year. They are recovered for 10 K cycles allowing an aircraft to fly for another 8 years. But these aircraft will not be in the market after 2-3 years. Despite this easily obtainable information there are still way too many engine shops in the market. Instead of focusing on establishing own hangars or shops companies should direct their attention towards searching for the best financial solutions, developing the necessary technical know-how, increasing cost-effectiveness and perfecting customer service.' – explained D.Saluga.
Airlines are increasingly looking for one-stop-shop solutions based on a long-term commitments to certain providers. However, while the global MRO industry tends to shift to more capital-intensive business models, the Eastern European MROs may face the danger of being under-cashed for successfully entering the market of premium value NG aircraft and establishing operator-wide deals. It may be very difficult to compete for large, fleet-wide deals against the Western MROs that are commonly backed by global MRO brands, or large financial institutions that offer a mix of financial and maintenance solutions.
'Many nowadays companies struggle financially. There are countless examples when a client requires c-check services, but a provider does not even have money to pay for the needed part or component – they are forced to ask the customer to provide it. Another example is when a financially well-off company acquires another party's running engines. They pay $300 M and lease the same engines to the previous owners. In the future the financial instruments will influence more and more MROs, including those servicing commercial aircraft and business jets", - noticed D.Saluga.
The Eastern European MROs are at the crossroad. They can either catch the new exciting wave of new technologies and platforms whilst supporting them with major investments, or stay behind and focuse on small to medium local operators, often operating older types of aircraft. Access to cash for shifting technologies, ability to offer attractive maintenance and financial solutions as well as true customer focus will determine the winners of this highly competitive gameplay.
Another no less important question to ask is 'where to from here?', i.e. which of those local MROs will continue to play the role of back-offices to global MRO networks, which ones will develop their own identities and product ranges, and which ones will simply disappear from the MRO landscape. The region can still offer plentiful opportunities, even greater as compared to the decade ago, when the region was 'discovered'. However, it calls for much more hard work, more investments, and a highly innovative approach. Otherwise achieving real tangible results and competing against the existing regional players equals to mission impossible. The current MRO market is largely controlled by the OEM, operators as well as independent and airline third party companies. A number of national airline carriers have withdrawn from the business entirely and are currently in the role of subcontractors only. Some airlines separated MRO operations from air passenger carrier business, others have continued doing in-house work as integrated organisations.
'In the last several years the competition has become even more aggressive. Everyday airlines sign long-term, full-support agreements with the OEMs and some large MRO groups are able to offer maintenance contracts at cut-throat prices thus effectively acquiring considerable market share. Moreover, the new-generation aircraft types require overwhelming investments and intensive engineering efforts for establishing all the necessary repair capabilities. These new aircraft are very high-tech, in that sense they are like flying sets of software. The difficulty here lies in the fact that manufacturers are largely in control of the software and core processors." – comments D.Saluga.
According to the Aerospace Global Report 2011 data, as technologies are becoming increasingly sophisticated and the OEMs are more than ever focused on their core competencies, efficient MRO management requires more specialized services. Compared to the 1970s-80s, when the U.S carriers used to manage more than 80 percent of their aircraft maintenance in-house, the current comparable figure is only around 20 percent.
The obvious question here is whether in order to survive in the future market the third-party maintenance providers need to form partnerships. Independent maintenance companies in particular have come under increasing pressure from both the original equipment manufacturers and large, airline-affiliated MRO groups to be squeezed out of the aftermarket.
All in all, the MRO business is changing rapidly. Most customers prefer one-stop-shop solutions in both commercial and business type aircraft maintenance markets. Therefore MROs must develop expertise in core activity areas, implement cost reductions and new efficiencies, adopt supply chain innovations, focus on reliability and dependability; expand market offerings and geographical reach, pursue full-service capabilities and identify value-oriented innovations.

Last days we got a message that one of a 3thParty package, used in WebsiteBaker, contains a minor security issue. It is not a High-Risk-Level but anyway.
The endangered package you can find in wb/includes/idna_convert/.
There is a CSRF issue in the file examples.php. This file itself is never needed by WebsiteBaker and can/should be deleted from webspaces as soon as possible.
There is no fix/patch planned against.
To solve these problem, from next official release of WB the file is encapsulated in a ZIP archive, so there is no more possibility to call it from outside.

MILLBURY – Scott Robbins sits in his converted shed many days contemplating the future and more specifically, the computer's future.
Robbins has always been the guy people run to with their computerrelated problems and questions, so as a walking troubleshooter, he has been around the block.
"I was the help desk for everyone," he said. "We had plenty of overwhelming toolbars on screens, monitors falling into sleep mode, lots of things. In this business, there is no odd request."
Nowadays, he is hoping to bring the help desk to the community for his new business venture.
What started as a referral-only business 15 years later has launched Robbins into the growing and public New England PC Services. He serves as the president of the company that is gearing to improve the computers everyone spends their days with.
"The whole world is working off their computers," he said. "These machines become more and more a part of peoples' lives. I did not see a business model for years, but over the past couple years with the proper tools, [I have]."
For Robbins, if it ain't broke, do not wait to fix it.
"It is just like changing the oil in your car," he said. "When the machine is taken care of and is running flawless, you feel better. You do not want to wait until it breaks."
Robbins worked for 15 years at web development firms as well as in the sales training industry. Working from his office – complete with exercise bike, golf clubs, and a handful of consistent customers, he said he came across a bevy of situations that people ran into with regards to maintaining their computers.
When technology finally existed enabling him to bring a complete range of troubleshooting tools to clients, he started his business based on a proactive maintenance model about a year ago. Robbins preaches that a wait-and-see approach to technology usually ends up costing the consumer much more money when problems arise.
In addition to the proactive approach, New England PC Services is an authorized carbonite reseller allowing for offsite backup of a company's vital files. Robbins said the business also offers additional networking, archiving, and data sharing solutions.
The referrals over the past few years have increased steadily and the ability to work onsite is one of the bonuses offers to customers, he said.
"Well over 95 percent of computer issues do not require someone to bring the computer anywhere," he said. "The only issues that we cannot fully handle is with physical damage. That is when you bring it to the big box stores."
Robbins said he will never sell his business to such a store, no matter how much success he has in the coming years. He says he will continue to think from his seat in the converted garage of ways to bring help to what he estimates are 95 percent of people who do not keep up proper maintenance on their machine.
"There is a huge market for this and you hope people will be flocking in," he said. "I would not say they are flocking, but business is good."

1. Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe
2. Past predictions of "Global Weather Catastrophe" made by the environmental movement
3. What happened to the Environmental Movements "Population Bomb" crisis of the 1970's?
It is important to remember that the "Global Warming" crisis is not the first time the environmental movement has predicted world-wide catastrophe. The following quote sums up the tactics of the environmental movement:
– "To capture the public imagination we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."
Climate scientist, global warming activist and former global cooling prophet Stephen Schneider ("Our fragile Earth," Discover, October 1987, page 47) –
Al Gore has made "doomsday" statements similar to those made during the "Global Cooling" and "Population Bomb" scares promoted by the environmental movement in the 1970's – such as we only have 10 years to act before it will be too late.
The following article examines the validity of the claims made by Al Gore in his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe
"The Inconvenient Truth" is indeed inconvenient to alarmists
By Tom Harris
"Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it," Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film "An Inconvenient Truth", showing at Cumberland 4 Cinemas in Toronto since Jun 2. With that outlook in mind, what do world climate experts actually think about the science of his movie?
Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."
But surely Carter is merely part of what most people regard as a tiny cadre of "climate change skeptics" who disagree with the "vast majority of scientists" Gore cites?
No; Carter is one of hundreds of highly qualified non-governmental, non-industry, non-lobby group climate experts who contest the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing significant global climate change. "Climate experts" is the operative term here. Why? Because what Gore's "majority of scientists" think is immaterial when only a very small fraction of them actually work in the climate field.
Even among that fraction, many focus their studies on the impacts of climate change; biologists, for example, who study everything from insects to polar bears to poison ivy. "While many are highly skilled researchers, they generally do not have special knowledge about the causes of global climate change," explains former University of Winnipeg climatology professor Dr. Tim Ball. "They usually can tell us only about the effects of changes in the local environment where they conduct their studies."
This is highly valuable knowledge, but doesn't make them climate change cause experts, only climate impact experts.
So we have a smaller fraction.
But it becomes smaller still. Among experts who actually examine the causes of change on a global scale, many concentrate their research on designing and enhancing computer models of hypothetical futures. "These models have been consistently wrong in all their scenarios," asserts Ball. "Since modelers concede computer outputs are not "predictions" but are in fact merely scenarios, they are negligent in letting policy-makers and the public think they are actually making forecasts."
We should listen most to scientists who use real data to try to understand what nature is actually telling us about the causes and extent of global climate change. In this relatively small community, there is no consensus, despite what Gore and others would suggest.
Here is a small sample of the side of the debate we almost never hear:
Appearing before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development last year, Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson testified, "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years." Patterson asked the committee, "On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?"
Patterson concluded his testimony by explaining what his research and "hundreds of other studies" reveal: on all time scales, there is very good correlation between Earth's temperature and natural celestial phenomena such changes in the brightness of the Sun.
Dr. Boris Winterhalter, former marine researcher at the Geological Survey of Finland and professor in marine geology, University of Helsinki, takes apart Gore's dramatic display of Antarctic glaciers collapsing into the sea. "The breaking glacier wall is a normally occurring phenomenon which is due to the normal advance of a glacier," says Winterhalter. "In Antarctica the temperature is low enough to prohibit melting of the ice front, so if the ice is grounded, it has to break off in beautiful ice cascades. If the water is deep enough icebergs will form."
Dr. Wibj–rn KarlÈn, emeritus professor, Dept. of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Stockholm University, Sweden, admits, "Some small areas in the Antarctic Peninsula have broken up recently, just like it has done back in time. The temperature in this part of Antarctica has increased recently, probably because of a small change in the position of the low pressure systems."
But KarlÈn clarifies that the 'mass balance' of Antarctica is positive – more snow is accumulating than melting off. As a result, Ball explains, there is an increase in the 'calving' of icebergs as the ice dome of Antarctica is growing and flowing to the oceans. When Greenland and Antarctica are assessed together, "their mass balance is considered to possibly increase the sea level by 0.03 mm/year – not much of an effect," KarlÈn concludes.
The Antarctica has survived warm and cold events over millions of years. A meltdown is simply not a realistic scenario in the foreseeable future.
Gore tells us in the film, "Starting in 1970, there was a precipitous drop-off in the amount and extent and thickness of the Arctic ice cap." This is misleading, according to Ball: "The survey that Gore cites was a single transect across one part of the Arctic basin in the month of October during the 1960s when we were in the middle of the cooling period. The 1990 runs were done in the warmer month of September, using a wholly different technology."
KarlÈn explains that a paper published in 2003 by University of Alaska professor Igor Polyakov shows that, the region of the Arctic where rising temperature is supposedly endangering polar bears showed fluctuations since 1940 but no overall temperature rise. "For several published records it is a decrease for the last 50 years," says KarlÈn
Dr. Dick Morgan, former advisor to the World Meteorological Organization and climatology researcher at University of Exeter, U.K. gives the details, "There has been some decrease in ice thickness in the Canadian Arctic over the past 30 years but no melt down. The Canadian Ice Service records show that from 1971-1981 there was average, to above average, ice thickness. From 1981-1982 there was a sharp decrease of 15% but there was a quick recovery to average, to slightly above average, values from 1983-1995. A sharp drop of 30% occurred again 1996-1998 and since then there has been a steady increase to reach near normal conditions since 2001."
Concerning Gore's beliefs about worldwide warming, Morgan points out that, in addition to the cooling in the NW Atlantic, massive areas of cooling are found in the North and South Pacific Ocean; the whole of the Amazon Valley; the north coast of South America and the Caribbean; the eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea, Caucasus and Red Sea; New Zealand and even the Ganges Valley in India. Morgan explains, "Had the IPCC used the standard parameter for climate change (the 30 year average) and used an equal area projection, instead of the Mercator (which doubled the area of warming in Alaska, Siberia and the Antarctic Ocean) warming and cooling would have been almost in balance."
Gore's point that 200 cities and towns in the American West set all time high temperature records is also misleading according to Dr. Roy Spencer, Principal Research Scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. "It is not unusual for some locations, out of the thousands of cities and towns in the U.S., to set all-time records," he says. "The actual data shows that overall, recent temperatures in the U.S. were not unusual."
Carter does not pull his punches about Gore's activism, "The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science."
In April sixty of the world's leading experts in the field asked Prime Minister Harper to order a thorough public review of the science of climate change, something that has never happened in Canada. Considering what's at stake – either the end of civilization, if you believe Gore, or a waste of billions of dollars, if you believe his opponents – it seems like a reasonable request.

Data proves the earth did cool overall between 1940 and 1970 during the reconstruction and expansion of economic development after World War II. This cooling is now thought to be related to a decrease in sunspot activity similar, though not as severe, as what occurred during the "mini-ice age" between 1250 A.D. to the late 1700's, which was compounded by an increase in volcanic activity.
The statements that our weather is warmer than it's been in the last 200 years are true when you consider the fact that we came out of the "Little Ice Age" in the late 1700's – but this current warming of 1 degree is tame when compared to the higher temperatures of the Medieval Warm Period, from approximately 750 A.D. to 1250 A.D., when temperatures rose an average of 4 to 5 degrees. This medieval warming period was a boon to the cultures of Europe expanding agriculture, including allowing grapes to be grown in Britain and allowing the Vikings to colonize Greenland.
Scientific reports and historical records indicate that sunspot activity reached a maximum during the warmest temperatures of the Medieval Warm Period and that the coldest temperatures of the "Little Ice Age occurred during the Maunder Sunspot Minimum, the period from 1645-1715 AD in which minimal sunspot activity was observed. For some reason some scientists and the environmental movement have decided to discount the current increase in sunspot activity as a cause of our current warming trend.
The "Mini-Ice Age" was devastating to the populations of Europe causing famine and increasing the devastation of the Bubonic Plague as humans were weakened by the malnutrition caused by crop failures (and both rats and humans sought shelter from the cold). This Little Ice Age also forced the Vikings to abandon their settlements in Greenland that they establish during the warming period that preceded the Little Ice Age.
The historical records prove that we enter Ice Ages roughly every 10,000 years and our last "major" Ice-Age occurred over 10,000 years ago. As history has shown over the last 1,000 years, it is not warming periods that have been devastating to humans, but ice ages such as the Little Ice Age between 1250 and the late 1700's proved.
Keep in mind the following past statements of the environmental movement during their current campaign against "Global Warming:"
– The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population. — Reid Bryson, "Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man", (1971) –
– This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century — Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976 –
– There are ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production – with serious political implications for just about every
nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon… The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it. — Newsweek, April 28, (1975) –
– This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. — Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976 –
– If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000…This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. — Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970) –
– In "The Cooling World," April 28, 1975 issue of Newsweek proclaimed that scientists are "almost unanimous" in their concern that an "ominous" cooling trend "will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century" and the world might be heading into another "little ice age." –
What happened to those catastrophic predictions of population growth made in the 1970's by the environmental movement?
– The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer — Paul Ehrlich "The Population Bomb" (1968) –
– I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 — Paul Ehrlich in (1969) –
– In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish. — Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970) –
– Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . . in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion — Paul Ehrlich in (1976) –
Although the past alarmist predictions of the environmental movement of a "Population Bomb" proved false, like their predictions on "Global Cooling," will we face a "Population Bomb" in the future?
The U.N. and independent projections of population growth indicate a stabilization of the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) that will result in the world's population stabilizing and eventually declining by the end of this century. Only the United States is an exception, which was discussed in the book "Fewer – How the new Demography of Depopulation Will Shape Our Future" by Ben Wattenberg, where this information on population tends was quoted from.
"Depopulation is already proceeding in many of the modern developed nations. Europe is now losing about 700,000 people each year, a figure that will grow to about 3 million a year, or more, by mid-century. Russia alone is losing close to a million people each year (it is believed that abortions outnumber births in Russia). Within the next few years Japan will begin losing population. The steep trend toward fewer children per women in modern nations has been near universal. The TFR is not keeping pace with what is needed to maintain current population. The TRF necessary to maintain existing population is 2.10 children per couple. In Europe the TFR is 1.38."
But what's going on is not restricted to the well-to-do modern nations. The poorer, Less Developed Countries (LDCs), still have higher birth and fertility rates than rich countries. But the rate in the LDCs are typically falling at a more rapid rate than ever experienced in the rich countries. As recently as 1970 the typical woman in an LDC nation bore 6.0 children per woman. Today, in the midst of a fertility free-fall, the rate is 2.8 or 2.7 children per woman and rapidly continuing downward. Such patterns have been observed in India, Indonesia, Brazil, Egypt, Iran and, critically, Mexico, only to begin a long list. This is not idle speculation. These are not simple straight-line projections taken from U.N."
In 2005 it was announced that Mexico's TFR in 2004 had fallen to 2.16, just .06 above maintaining a stable population. In the 70's the TFR was 6.0.
The falling TFR is already putting pressure on the viability of European social programs due to the fact that there are not enough children being born to support those receiving benefits. In 2004 the Netherlands (a socialist country) the largest protest ever in that country (200,000) was held to protest the raising of the minimum retirement age and cut back in cost of living raises.
"The head of the VVD liberal party, second strongest in the coalition, criticized the unions who organized this protest, accusing them of sticking their heads in the sand when faced with the problems.
Reforms to welfare support and health coverage, as well as a freeze on civil service salaries and the minimum wage, have sparked a wave of discontent across the Netherlands.
The Dutch institute for budget information (NIBUD) has estimated that all residents will suffer an erosion in purchasing power next year, with those in ill health especially affected."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/europe/3710154.stm
Germany, France and Britain are also attempting to reform their social welfare programs due to costs spirally out of control and the effect these outlays are having on their economic competitiveness.
The United States TRF has not yet reached a crisis state and this may be one of the reasons President Bush and others support increased immigration.


foundation Archives - Do You Speak Gossip?Do You Speak Gossip?
I've been reading rave reviews about this foundation everywhere, so I thought I had to try it. Since we didn't have Rimmel in Greece back then (we do now though!), I asked Kleoniki to bring me one from UK. It has a runny consistency, but in my opinion it doesn't get applied easily or smoothly. It has a pleasant scent, but unfortunately the color I chose was too light for me (something I never believed would happen!). So I definitely did not see a high & invisible coverage like it says on the product, and it didn't make my skin look perfect. On the contrary, I think it looks quite visible when you see me in person. So I mostly use it when I'm filming videos, because I think it looks much better on camera than it does in real life. So it doesn't get a good rating from me, but that doesn't mean, it won't work on you. I'd like to try some other products from Rimmel in the future though. Maybe it will work better on my skin.


Catherine walks in the form of a cat through the tree's in the forest with her adopted daughter following behind her. The air blows the leaves in the tree's and russell's' through their fur. The calm of the forest was like music to her ears as the small animals scurried across the forest floor with no humanoids to cause them trouble or harm. She turns her head to Zenthia. "Look around my daughter this is what beauty is. The forest free from taint, this is our job as druid's. To preserve the wonderfulness of nature and to protect it. And in return maybe one day it will protect us." She continues jumping through the tree's and talking with some of the animals that pass by. "Soon we will arrive in Cormyr, I know that I haven't left your side since you were born but you'll need to spend some time with your aunt Layla soon. Don't worry she'll protect you while I'm gone and I'll be back before you know it." She jumps down to the forest floor and begins walking over some of the fallen leaves "Pay attention while you are with her, she's a smart one. But she's selfish, maybe you can open her heart a little." She smiles at Zenthia for a couple seconds and then continues on through the forest.
Zenthia begins to play with the leaves, "But mother, I have never seen the outside world. I'm scared." studdering, "And what if she does not like me, and I can not change her heart?" She stops playing with the leaves and beings to look around, a worried expression on her face.
Catherine curls up to you. "Don't worry about that your Aunt will keep you safe. And she'll like you, even if she doesn't show it. That's just because she's a stick in the mud." She keeps walking in front of you for a short time until you reach the edge of the forest as you look out over a hill you see a small town off in the distance. "Now as long as we stay like this they'll think we're cats. So do you want to go see what the humans are like?"
Excitement boils up in Zenthia's eyes, as she looks ahead.
Catherine smiles at the excited look on your face. "Alright then lets go." She runs off ahead of you but looks back every few seconds to make sure you're keeping up with her. you run for about 40 minutes until you reach the city's outside wall. Catherine walks around it slowly observing the wall until she finds a small hole that goes into. "Follow me this leads into the city." Once you go through the hole you find yourself surrounded by tall buildings and busy people walking across the street at hurried paces. "look at them all hurrying to their destinations. Refusing to take a break to enjoy what's happening around them. What do you think?"
"They are like bees!" Zenthia exclaimes. Her eyes fill with wonder at the sights before her.
Catherine lets out a very genuine laugh at your reaction. "Yes, that is exactly what they are like. Lets get a better look shall we?" She takes off down an ally and jumps on things to scale up a wall easily enough for you to keep up with her and she ends up on top of a roof over looking the main street in the city where a halfling caravan is set up having a hearty feast. "Look over there Zenthia, those are halflings, they're quite different from the humans much happier and festive. Very few of them come near the great forests but every so often a caravan must be convinced to stay away." She points her head toward some men glaring at a potion they seem small like the halflings but have pointier ears. "Those are Gnomes, they are little tricksters, they usually just bother each other and don't bring much chaos to the druids. But you should still stay cautious of them." She walks over to another side of the building and looks down the wall where some tall green skinned men are arm wrestling on a table. "Those men are orc's, they're filthy brutes that don't care for the beauty of nature. But luckily they are easily deterred from entering our woods." She turns her head to you. "And of course you and me are Elves, elves care more for the forest then any one else. But there are still a few that do not appreciate its majesty. That's why we train as druids to protect it. So what do you think of life outside the tree's?"
"Very odd. The people seem to go from place to place, but not many seem to be enjoying themselves. And they are all so different." Zenthia looks at mother and tilts her head, "Do these beings care about the forest, like we do?"
Catherine looks out over the city at the different races playing their games and conversing with each other clueless that they were being watched. "Everyone is different my dear. None of these being would work to protect the forest like we do, but that doesn't mean that they don't care about it." She walks into the center of the roof and slowly changes into a bird. "Alright this was only our first stop, now we're headed to Cormyr to meet your aunt Layla. I'm sure she'll be surprised when we show up on her doorstep." Catherine chuckles to herself. "She hates surprises." She waits for you to turn into a bird before flying off toward Cormyr.
Zenthia changes into a bird, and takes one last look at the creatures. She begins to think, 'If all these creatures could enjoy the forest....protecting it may not be as difficult as it sounds. But this may just be wishful thinking.' She turns to her mother and simply inclines her head, signaling that she is ready for what ever lay ahead.
Catherine takes off into the air with Zenthia behind her. They head for Suzail in Cormyr where Layla claimed to be.


FIPP 09: Fears ahead for magazines – what concerns those at the top?
As reported over on the Journalism.co.uk main site, leading industry figures shared their hopes for the magazine market at the FIPP World Magazine Congress 2009 this morning.
But they were hopes in the context of an economic downturn. William Kerr, chairman of board for the Meredith Group joked that 'being 12 per cent down is the new up'.
Carolyn McCall, chief executive, Guardian Media Group: is worried that the industry would 'not make structural change quickly enough'.
William Kerr said that his main fear was that the 'best and brightest [candidates] had migrated to other areas' for employment.
Aroon Purie, editor-in-chief and chairman of the India Today Group said he was worried about the 'magazinification' of newspapers in terms of content and design: it is a 'threat to magazines, as newspapers go in that direction,' he said.
John Smith, chief executive of BBC Worldwide, said his main concern was the dominance of Google as an online sign-post. it was a 'dangerous' situation he said, to have all the power in one company. Google's 63.7 per cent grasp on search traffic made it necessary for other companies to enter the territory, he said.

I ordered for some food and included a kiddy meal yesterday at 6:30pm which was delivered by a certain delivery guy called Mark Mageria whom I paid by mpesa transaction MG65DKDM5R at exactly 7:38pm. My problem was that in the kiddy meal an accompanying minute maid juice was part of the price only to discover after the courier guy is gone that it was missing. I called D.A.D langata and they promised to do something about it. I waited and nothing happened. My name is John and I would like you guys to counter check when you are packing the food. The reason as to why am writing is, this is not the first time am having issues. Another time I ordered for completely no spice on the chicken and repeated myself only to be brought very hot peppered chicken yet food was for kids. I was thoroughly disappointed. Kindly ensure to do your best when it comes to deliveries. And please, it's so simple to do it online. When an offer has expired ensure to remove it from your web page as it get's confusing. Thank you for the great service, but please bring my minute maid. My baby was asking for it.

There are many rights of passage that every baby must go through: learning to walk, learning to use a spoon, saying their first word. Most of these elicit joy and excitement from parents, but there are a few that inevitably cause stress for every mommy and daddy: getting sick for the first time, getting their shots, sprouting up those dreaded teeth. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I know that baby teeth can play an important role in your child's early speech development, chewing skills, and eating preferences. That is why I thought I would switch roles from my DIY-self today, and share some Healthy Teething tips for parents.
Well… if you needed proof, here it is! Not only do I have my Speech-Language Pathology background to guide you, but I have real experience from this little bundle of joy (usually!).
It's so important to recognize and support your child through each stage of teething. First is the erupting phase, in which the teeth, that formed in utero and slowly coming out of the jaw. At this stage we often can't see any redness or changes to the gums, and we tend to shake off symptoms and pain of teething as our babies being cranky, or being picky eaters. Then comes the cutting stage. At this point we can see that our babies gums are inflamed (if they let us see inside!) and we start seeing the physical tooth appear. This stage often comes with pain, which leads to avoidance of certain foods or textures, and extra biting, drooling, or sucking.
What are some signs of teething?
Although there are many, many options out there to help your child with teething, I wanted to highlight the silicone Baby Teething Necklaces from Tiny Teethers. I didn't have one of these teething necklaces until my daughter was about 18 months old, but boy did I notice a difference once my daughter started playing with it. I had tried cool foods and toys on her gums, but she didn't keep them in. I had tried various amber necklaces, which didn't seem to make a difference for her. I had used homeopathic remedies with no luck. This necklace was finally something that she would keep in her mouth by choice!
She loves the feel of the silicone necklace on her gums, and I feel 100% comfortable with her chewing on it and playing with it. One of the things about teething is that you never know when the pain going to come or when those teeth are going to pop up. That's my it's been such a blessing (for her and for me!) to have something stylish that I want to wear and bring along on weekend trips to Edmonton, or camping trips in the summer.
I'm currently showing off the grey necklace from the Safflower Collection by Tiny Teethers and I would recommend one of these stylish necklaces to promote healthy teething to any mama!
I know! We are so lucky to have this stylish jewellery to wear these days!
This is such an informative post. Thank you!! Those teething necklaces look fanrastic too!
Thank you Christina :) I'm glad you found some great info here!
This is such a great idea. Both of my sisters in law had babies within the last month and I may have to get them each one of these necklaces. I just popped over to their website and was surprised at how many different styles and colors they had.
Glad you found something to help her feel better! And very stylish too!!
All good to know! no kids yet, but most of my friends do so I'll share the link with them!
Aw poor thing! I remember when mine went through teething and it was tough! I wish I had known about teething necklaces back then, specially ones like yours that looks so good too.
Thank you! I wear it even when my daughter isn't teething because I love the look of it!
I love my teething necklaces too! Such a great functional piece of jewelry and so stylish too. I got a matching one from a friend (Chewlz) made for my toddler too. They make an awesome shower gift too!

Being a member of the Golden Girls is a prestigious and honored position that takes dedication, pride, time and hard work.
In 1957, Charles Emmons, the director of the band, added the sparkle to Marching Mizzou by founding the now-famous Golden Girls, a twirling line of six to eight majorettes and two feature twirlers. The group first danced in 1966, when then-director Dr. Alex Pickard had the girls throw down their batons and do the "Charleston." In 1970, the twirling line officially became the gold-sequined, high-kicking dance line that it is today.
The Golden Girls won the national championship in the pom-dance category in 1991, 1992 and 2003. Their 1991 title netted them a trip to Japan, where they performed at the Japan Classic Basketball All-Star series.
Shannon Fry, the head coach of the Golden Girls, was a Golden Girl at Mizzou from 1990-94 and was a four-time collegiate all-American. She competed on both the 1991 and '92 national champion squads. After graduation, Shannon cheered for the Kansas City Chiefs, and has been leading the Golden Girls since 1997.
Please contact Shannon Fry at frys@missouri.edu with any questions regarding workshops.
The University of Missouri Golden Girls will be hosting College Prep Dance Workshops for high school and college dancers who strive to be a part of a college dance team in their future or wish to work on their technique and style.
Participants will be taught the technique and skills required at many college dance team auditions. The workshops will feature technique class, sideline routines, choreography, tips on auditioning for a collegiate team, Q & A with Golden Girls Director, Shannon Fry, and more! The College Prep Dance Workshop with the Golden Girls is a MUST for any dancer hoping to dance at the collegiate level and strongly encouraged for anyone trying out for the University of Missouri Golden Girls!
The cost of the workshop is $40.00 per session. Space is limited to first 40!
No refunds will be given, rather transfer to another clinic. Clinics will not be canceled due to weather.

and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?
Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar's.
And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.
And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
Afterward the woman also died.
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
For they durst not any more ask him any question.
And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David's son?
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.


I'm excited because I just ordered the Casa90 and it arrived this week. However, I think I may have been a bit foolish because I didn't think to check if the Casa90's dimensions were more similar to the "Tuscan" or the "Neapolitan" style of ovens. Now that it's arrived, I can see that the dimensions definitely fit the Neapolitan style of oven. This is unfortunate because I had a Tuscan style oven in mind (for doing roasts and things like that). The door height on my oven is only 10", so it is going to be hard to fit a turkey through that. I was wondering if there is a way to modify it slightly to make it more Neapolitan in shape. I was thinking that rather than sitting the pre-made dome directly on the floor, I could put one more ring of firebrick around the perimeter, and sit the dome on that. This would essentially raise everything up by about 2" including the door height. Is there any reason why that wouldn't work? Or are there better solutions out there? I would be surprised I am the first person to want to modify it in this way. Thanks for any help!
Welcome Jim! I helped install a Casa 2G90 back in 2011, off the grid in British Columbia (HiHium Lake). Every year we have used it to cook roasts, ribs, bread, turkey, pies, cakes, pizza, and even a 15 pound suckling pig without problems. (Although we had to cut the head and feet off the pig...and foil together two half-sheets to get it in the oven .) In addition, I was actually tasked with finding out the height of a 20 pound turkey to address this exact issue you brought up...no problem fitting pretty big turkeys in this oven. We just got back from the lake yesterday and in the 9 days we were there, I baked 12 baguettes, 2 whole wheat loaves, and 2 Cabin CCRAPP (Cinnamon, Craisin, Raisin, Apricot, Pecan, Prune) loaves. Eight molten chocolate cakes, 12 ears of corn (Possum Korn style), corn bread cake in a 10" skillet, two dutch ovens full of potatoes, and several large pots of reheated "complete meals" of Osso Bucco and short ribs. This oven is a real work horse! It cooks differently from my larger (more Tuscan) style oven, but I've been very impressed with how quickly it heats and how long it holds the heat. My only comment here is that you should think about making a second door to supplement the "thinner" pizza door that comes with the oven. I'd recommend that the second door has a reasonably tight fit and that it is well insulated for longer consistent baking times.
I really don't think there is any reason for you to fiddle with modifying the oven you have received...it will cook everything you can think of for a pretty large group of people. The width of the opening is actually more important than the height in my mind, simply because it is the limiting factor of putting a cooking pan/skillet/pot/sheet into the oven. Hope this helps and if you'd like, I'll see if I can find some pics of bigger items we've put in the oven.

Jim, here's some pics of the suckling pig and breads out of the HiHium Casa2G90.
I saw HiHium Lake mentioned and had to poke my head in! My mom and dad went to HiHium Resort every summer for 25+ years. I've probably been there 4-5 times myself. Dad passed away earlier this year, so the place brings back a lot of good memories. Did the pizza oven went in at one of the cabins on the lake, or in the resort?
Sorry to momentarily hijack your thread Jim E.
DeeJayOh, our friends own one of the lots opened for sale years ago on the north side of the lake (just west of Eagle Point). They built a cabin there that is not affiliated with any of the three resort/cabin businesses on the lake shores. I told our friends I had built a pizza oven and they said they had been talking about putting one in at their place...one thing led to another and I ended up helping to choose and place the Casa 2G90 onsite.
The fires last year destroyed several of the cabins that were rental units and the pine beetle killed trees provided a lot of fuel all around the lake for the wildfires. The fire crews came in and set up sprinklers on the roofs of the north side private houses (~12) which ultimately saved all of those homes. Lots of new brush & fire weed growing now and with all the green in the open areas, it's hard too imagine how intense the fire was in the area just last year. Sorry about your Dad, but it sounds like you've got a lot of good memories to replay from your time at HiHium with him and your mom...and I'm sure having you up there with them was something he especially valued.
Jim, one weak point for these ovens is the affinity for water absorption by the insulation board and batting. If you are going to pour a concrete slab on which you will place the oven, consider either drilling or placing 1/2" tubes through the slab to allow any moisture to drain down and away from the insulation board. Having something like FoamGlas between the ceramic board and the concrete slab would be optimum, but putting some glass/porcelain mosaic tile sheets underneath the ceramic board would provide an inexpensive air gap and drainage "channels" to the weep holes. Even if you are going to build an enclosure over the oven, weep holes and base air gap/moisture barrier would be worth adding (IMHO ), but they would be essential if the oven would be out in the elements (again, IMHO).
Here's a link to a build in Sandpoint, ID with good pictures of the hearth construction with integrated weep holes and use of tile sheets (and FoamGlas) below the ceramic board insulation.

Thanks for all the help guys. Maybe I won't bother modifying it. As long as I can fit a turkey through the door, that's the biggest thing I will ever cook in it.


Seeking a lovely side dish recipe? Look this way! Our Tomato-Basil Risotto recipe is a delicious choice!
Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook 2 to 3 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Stir in rice; cook and stir 2 min. Add wine; cook and stir 1 min. or until absorbed.
Stir in 1/2 cup broth; cook on medium-low heat 4 min. or until most the broth is absorbed, stirring constantly. Repeat until all the broth has been added. (Rice should be tender, but firm. This will take about 25 min.) Stir in tomatoes; cook and stir 2 min. or until heated through. Remove from heat.
Add cheese and half the basil; mix well. Top with remaining basil.
Prepare as directed, stirring 1/2 lb. (225 g) sliced cooked hot Italian sausage into cooked rice along with the tomatoes.


Fit for Battle is the working group that is taking forward a new pavilion/cafe, the Battle Health Pathway project, and some nature gardens for the Recreation ground.
p.s. We forgot to paint any dogs, but they are still welcome of course!
Mounted photographs donated by Battle Photographic Society are now for sale in Battle Deli (58 High Street), proceeds going to Battle Health Pathway.
Go in and take a look at them, the pictures here really don't do them justice!
There have been some updates on the website. There is a new total, and some new information on the "Project so far" page, so we are moving forward!
p.s. A date for your diary….
Sue seen here handing in the group's most recent funding application!
We have had an amazing December with two £2-cuppa events, two table sales, and have received donations from Battle Ramblers and Battle Health Walks. We have also been one of the main good causes of the St Mary's tree festival.
We now have over £16,000 in the pathway fundraising kitty. A fantastic result for only 2 years of fund raising. Thank you to everybody who has helped achieve this.
BIG thank you to the Battle Ramblers and Battle Health Walks for their recent donation to Battle Health Pathway.
We had a brilliant Gala Night, where our Battle guests certainly did "dress to impress".
The combination of pianist, photos on the red carpet, delicious canapés, tasty popcorn & ice creams, plus an epic film all added up to a brilliant evening!
Thanks to EVERYBODY who helped make this such a successful event.


The Hailey City Council voted unanimously Monday to vacate portions of the city's right of way on a dead-end, block-long section of West Chestnut Street, thereby giving .12 acres of city property to Charlie and Lynn Holt, and the Goitiandia family's Clear Creek Land Co.
The decision to narrow the right of way on Chestnut Street from 100 feet to 60 feet reversed a recommendation by the Hailey Planning and Zoning Commission last month to not give away city property, in case there is a need for it in the future.
However, the vacated 20-foot strip of land will prove beneficial to the Holts, who will now be able to build a garage at their personal residence, which is under renovation on the northeast corner of River Street and Chestnut Street.
The Holts said they had assumed, based on the location of a wooden fence on their property, that they had more room between their land and the street than they did.
They then researched city records and found that the nearby city right of way on Chestnut Street between Main Street and River Street had already been narrowed from 100 feet to 60 feet, in keeping with the city's new standards for residential zones.
Only so-called "collector streets" such as Third Avenue, with substantially more traffic, are required to retain the original 100-foot right-of-way widths that were originally established in Hailey.
The City Council agreed to vacate the property to the landowners because keeping it would be of no public benefit, and because a sidewalk could still be built along the road with the remaining 60-foot right of way, if the city ever chooses to do so.
The land vacation was granted on the condition that the city be granted utility easements to service lines on what will now be private property, and that snow storage on the street not be hindered.
Hailey resident Peter Lobb protested the decision, saying the city should not set a precedent by giving away property.
- The City Council voted to approve Fay Matthies' request to designate as "Serenity Place" a formerly unnamed private street with undeveloped lots that extends eastward onto the bench in Woodside subdivision.
- The City Council's consent agenda for Oct. 7 included a payment of $46,353 for the installation of irrigation lines and landscaping at the circular planting area at the center of a roundabout at the corner of Fox Acres Road and Woodside Boulevard.
- The Hailey Welcome Center building at Hailey's Wertheimer Park was awarded a LEED Silver Certification for energy efficiency, based on standards held by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.


The Providence Bruins today announced that the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins have promoted P-Bruins assistant coach Rob Murray to head coach. He replaces reigning AHL coach of the year Scott Gordon, who recently accepted the head coaching position with the NHL's New York Islanders.
Murray, 41, becomes the ninth head coach in Providence history after serving as the team's assistant for the past five seasons, during which time the P-Bruins compiled a 221-141-20-27 (W-L-T-OT/SOL) record. His promotion comes nearly five years to the day from when he was named an assistant on Aug. 22, 2003.
A native of Toronto, Ont., Murray has been coaching since retiring at the end of the 2002-03 season after a 16-year playing career. Regarded as one of the true greats in the history of the AHL, Murray and longtime Bruins defenseman Eddie Shore are the only two men to have had their numbers retired by teams in Springfield. Murray's number 23 was raised to the rafters by the Falcons in a pre-game ceremony in Springfield on Feb. 10, 2007.
Among Murray's accomplishments, he became just the sixth player in AHL history to play 1,000 games on Feb. 23, 2003. He retired ranking sixth in the league with 1,018 games played. Murray also ranks second in AHL history with 2,940 PIM.
He is the Falcons' career leader in games played (501) and penalty minutes (1,529), and ranks first in assists (157), second in points (218) and fifth in goals (61).
Murray was known throughout his career as a leader, serving as the captain of four different clubs, beginning with the Moncton Hawks for two seasons from 1992-94. He was the Falcons' captain from the 1994-95 season until his trade to the Edmonton Oilers on Nov. 30, 1999. He became the captain of the Oilers' AHL affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs, for the remainder of that season. He also served as the Philadelphia Phantoms' captain in 2000-01 and then again for the Falcons during the 2002-03 season. Murray also served as captain of the Canadian team at the 1997 AHL All-Star Classic in Saint John, N.B.
Murray reached the 1994 Calder Cup Finals with Moncton and becomes the third member of that team to hold a current AHL head coaching post, joining Hartford's Ken Gernander and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Dan Bylsma.
In addition to his lengthy AHL tenure, Murray skated in 107 career NHL contests with the Phoenix Coyotes, Winnipeg Jets, and Washington Capitals. Overall, Murray appeared in 1,205 games as a pro, registering 177 goals, 348 assists, 525 points and 3,190 penalty minutes.
Murray and his wife Carolyn reside year-round in South Kingstown, R.I., with their daughters Taylor and Quinn, and sons Zachary and Brendan.
