Try this for a dough recipe. It's hardy enough for the grill and makes excellent pizza, calzones, breadsticks, etc. Pizza Crust 6 cups flour, sifted 2 tsp sea salt 2 cups water, 100-110 degrees 3 tsp sugar 4 1/2 tsp Bread Machine yeast 2 tbsp olive oil Dissolve the sugar in the warm water, then add the yeast. Let it sit until a thick foam cap forms. Meanwhile, sift the flour, then mix in the salt. Once the cap has formed on the yeast, pour contents into a bread machine. Add flour & salt, then the olive oil. Run the machine on the Dough cycle and remove as soon as it's done mixing. You may have to add a little olive oil as it mixes. Let the dough rest for five minutes, then cut into two equal portions, and roll out into pizza rounds using a pin. Let the dough rest and rise for a minimum of 30 minutes before starting to make pizza. This makes two 14" pizza crusts. If you're going to grill pizza, make four or six crusts from the dough as it comes out of the mixer. Note - you can also buy large pizza pans at Hockenbergs, also very cheap.

If you live in Lincoln, go get a pizza peel from Hockenbergs at 20th & Cornhusker. They cost maybe $15 and they are an essential tool for making pizza. Mine looks like this: I've grilled pizza many times. It's a family favorite. I typically grill my crust solo first, just for a minute, then take it off the grill. I flip it over so the uncooked side is on the bottom and the side that got the heat forms the base for the sauce/toppings. This helps with uniform cooking. EDIT - there's a Hockenbergs in Omaha at 70th & F, just south of the Interstate. There's also a Hockenbergs near Minneapolis at 2015 Silver Bell Rd Eagan, MN.

Absolutely untrue. I am your average wage-earner, middle-class non-poor guy, and I just want affordable healthcare. Like every other industrialized nation has. Like every nation that we perceive as our peers have. Like every human should have, whether they're rich or poor, middle class or legal non-resident. Deregulation doesn't drive down costs, it does the opposite - without regulation, nothing is to stop healthcare companies from forming monopolies by gobbling up smaller providers and, once they've done so, creating whatever price they want. Deregulation doesn't create some price-competition utopia, that's a line of BS the companies and their GOP cronies are feeding to keep the cash flowing from your pocket to theirs. Your doomsday scenario in your fourth paragraph is belied by the healthcare models in the rest of the modern world. Healthcare isn't perfect everywhere else - it's just affordable everywhere else. Everywhere but here. And no sane person wants "fast, cheap" healthcare. They want good healthcare. Period. That's not asking too much.

This. This is something I am quite interested in as well. They'll have routes in through the construction. That or they'll have people enter through the SE gates, go down to field level, and come back up the stairs.

Great. We agree that stereotypes are poor measures of groups. Meaning the email in the OP is worthless to truly diagnose Democrats.

That's fine you can disagree. But to say that the "Tea Party" trumps all left-wing groups out there...well that's simply your opinion not fact. For example, I think moveon.org is the worst left-wing organization there is and that they are 10x worse that the Tea Party. But that's my opinion and not a fact at all. How are they 10x worse than the Tea Party?

Yeah, it's an age-old argument. Everyone gets this. But stereotypes are BS because they often perpetuate caricatures of a person or group, rather than taking the person or group as they are. Are you defending stereotypes as a method of analysis of a group? I don't even know where you're going with this.

I agree that perspective is dependent upon the place one is viewing from. However, I think there are more left-wing groups seeking to modify behavior through legislation than there are right-wing groups. And believe it or not I'm a centrist as well because I like some things the left does and some things the right does. I believe that neither side has all the answers or is correct and that the best course for this country lies somewhere in the middle of left/right. I don't agree with that at all. I think the Tea Party alone trumps every left-wing group out there. For goodness' sake - the Right has a top presidential candidate whose views are so archly conservative Reagan wouldn't have remotely supported him. That's not even "groups," that's becoming the mainstream.

You can't just say "There are truths to every stereotype" and think that's an OK reason to perpetuate stereotypes. That old saw is poppycock in the first place, and it's not conducive to genuine openness and conversation in the second place.

No, I said that just because something is "law" doesn't make it right. Slavery was once legal, should we go back and reinstitute it? I recognize that the ultra-conservative religious right wants to ban things they disagree with: homosexuality, porn, and abortions being the three most prominent issues. However, there are countless left-wing groups who want you to stop eating meat, prevent you from owning firearms, prevent you from smoking, cut back on your resource usage/carbon "footprint," stop you from eating at Burger King or any other fast food place, outlaw homeschooling, etc. I agree that infringement upon liberties is bad regardless of who does it. It just seems that those on the left are far more prone and likely to try and curtail behavior through legislation than those on the right are. Those left-wing groups you're talking about are the diametric opposite of the far-Right groups. Both fringes are wackos and should be disregarded when talking about the opinions of the majority. I don't think the left is any more prone to infringe on your rights than the right. Both do it, and both are wrong. I think it has a lot to do with which side of the political spectrum you're on. The Left thinks the Right's wrongs are far worse, the Right thinks the Left's wrongs are far worse, and the Centrists (like me, and the majority of Americans) think both fringes are wrong, wrong, wrong. You can be Left-Centrist and Right-Centrist and still be OK. It's when you take your views to the extreme without any willingness to compromise that the country starts to have problems. Like today.

What does the "Bucky/troll" conversation have to do with this? What am I missing?

That could be true. But it's also likely true that Zimmerman probably wouldn't have been assaulted had he not followed Martin, as he was instructed by the 911 operator. It's also likely true that Martin would be alive today if Zimmerman didn't have a gun. Lots and lots and lots of unknowns at this moment, which is why I'm reserving judgment at this time.

You're silly.

Meh. I've known a lot of Internet Hoodlums that are pretty regular fellas when they're not posting to Facebook or Twitter.

This is one of those situations that I'm REALLY glad I stayed out of. My initial reaction was Kid With Skittles vs. Guy With Gun, and I was of the opinion that someone should have been charged with something, most likely Zimmerman. We've moved out of that realm with new info, and it doesn't appear - as MANY stories appear upon further reflection - that we had all the facts when this story first broke. I'm still not to the point where I'm at all OK with Zimmerman shooting Martin. But self-defense is looking more of a possibility. Whether self-defense is what we're looking at or not, Zimmerman was told to stop following the kid, and it appears he didn't. I'm sure there will be more Paul Harvey moments in this case. Still too early to draw conclusions.

We really want to rehash that conversation?

The HuffPo guy? Oh, definitely. I don't give a damn what that guy thinks. Never heard of him, don't care about his opinion, and he clearly knows nothing about Ron Brown. I agree he's just trying to stir the pot. Screw him.

and my comment of girls from lincoln doing their part had knap lock it? LMAO, that is exactely what my comment was referring to. Your comment was graphic and we received many complaints. There's a huge difference between what you wrote and this. Huge. If you can't see that, this may not be the forum for you.

People have raised concerns about Coach Brown off and on in the past. Inevitably they are people unconnected with the football team, with Coach Brown personally, or with his ministry. There have never been any allegations (to my reasonably certain knowledge) that Coach Brown has coerced or in any way intimidated kids, in any way. The ACLU has raised a stink about Coach Brown's talks in area schools, but as Brown says in those videos above, he's up-front about the content of his talks before going to any school, and he does not coerce anyone into sitting through his talks. If someone doesn't want to attend, they don't attend.

T_O_Bull - I have sent you a PM. Please read it. Thank you.

I'm as big of a Ron Brown supporter as you're going to find, but it is quite clear what he was saying in his testimony. I would love for Coach Brown to not have done what he did. But he did. And it doesn't do any good to try to rewrite history. Sad as it is for me to say, it may be time for Coach Brown to focus on his ministry and hang up his whistle. I support his right to say what he says, but I do not support his insinuation that he said it wrapped in the cloak of "1 Memorial Stadium."

So, because a law can be broken it's not a law? And the second bold - come on. Let's be real here.

There are no truths in that chain email. My God - it's a freaking CHAIN EMAIL, the stereotype of which is mindless twaddle. Another stereotype based on some level of truth. Do you honestly, honestly believe that Democrats and Republicans can be broken down into the ridiculous caricatures in the OP? Isn't it far more likely that members of both parties embrace a wide variety of beliefs/ideals, and that you could find people to fit Line A and Line B in each of those examples in BOTH parties? Let's not for a second pretend that this email contains anything relevant, factual or constructive to real conversation. It's a collection of the most pandering kinds of stereotypes. Nothing more.

Exactly!!! This is being billed as a fight by the Republicans to keep "big government" out of your business, but they're already so far into your business it's silly, and nobody says boo about it. This fight is devolving along party lines, not being waged over what is or isn't the best thing for this country. Good analogy. And the house is burning down. Healthcare costs are rising at crazy rates. Insurance coverage is being pared back by most employers due to the outrageous costs of premiums. We are not far off from seeing an America where the Middle-Class is thrust into poverty because of a catastrophic health crisis that their insurance carrier refuses to cover. The vast majority of developed nations have mandated health coverage, either paid by the State or through some form of single-payer plan. America - nope. Not us. We're "free." Agreed. I'm not sure what, exactly, this plan was supposed to fix. It doesn't seem to have fixed it, whatever it was. We should have just gone to single-payer from the beginning rather than go through this mess.
