The Magic Flute By W.A. Mozart composed by Antone De Lhoyer. Edited by Matanya Ophee. For Guitar, Violin, Viola. This edition: Op.40. Set of parts. 28+20 pages. Published by Editions Orphee (PR.494028860).
This edition of Mozart's opera is a perfect vehicle for the introduction of intermediate guitar students to the performance of chamber music with other musicians. The sequence of the numbers does not follow the original story line of the opera; there is a purposeful disconnect between the separate movements of this apparent suite of famous melodies, suggesting that individual movements of the arrangement could be performed independently of the entire work in any suitable combination. For advanced players.

Reports Point to Increased Counterfeit Drug Activity
A new report released by OpSec Security, a provider of anticounterfeiting and brand protection services, found an increased amount of illicit behavior in sales of bulk pharmaceuticals and prescription drugs over the Internet. The two-year study showed a 30% increase of bulk pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) offered online on B2B trade boards, which serve companies attempting to source pharmaceutical products online and are unregulated environments.
In OpSec's study, zolpidem tartrate, the API for the prescription sleep aid Ambien (sanofi aventis, Paris), was offered for sale online in 25-kilogram drum quantities. A single drum can be used to produce 2.3 million sleep aid pills with a retail value of $32 million, according to the study. It was also found that none of the wholesalers on the trade board addressed the issue of pedigree information, even when offering to ship to the United States, where pedigree data are required by the US Food and Drug Administration.
In terms of online pharmacies, the study reported a 65% increase in the number of Internet pharmacies that do not require a prescription or only require an online consultation. About a third of the pharmacies studied showed signs of what OpSec calls "highly suspicious behavior" that indicates counterfeit drugs may be sold. These signs include Internet pharmacies that:
- Are registered in regulated regions that do not require a prescription, or require only an online consultation
- Mask their WHOIS location and contact details
- Are included on the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy's (NABP's) "Not Recommended" list
- Registered outside the US but targeting a US consumer.
A 300% increase in online pharmacies offering deep discounts to consumers was noted in the report. Unaccredited Internet pharmacies featured prices up to 60–80% below the average price listed on pharmacies accredited by the NABP's Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS). As mentioned in a previous post, FDA recommends consumers look for the VIPPS Seal when purchasing prescription drugs online and offers guidelines for consumers on how to shop safely for pharmaceutical products.
The problem of counterfeit drugs is growing in Europe as well. A recent report from the European Commission showed that the number of counterfeit drugs seized by European Union customs officers increased 118% between 2007 and 2008. Fake pharmaceuticals were the third-largest category of goods stopped at EU borders, after counterfeit CDs/DVDs and cigarettes. (See today's ePT story about the report.)
Industry, government, and consumers are all looking for ways to curb the growing counterfeit drug problem. Anticounterfeiting technologies and regulations are evolving but sometimes struggle to keep up with the speed and ease of counterfeit drug production. My colleague Angie Drakulich pointed out in a previous blog post the need for harsher penalties for people who engage in prescription drug counterfeiting as a deterrent for would-be criminals. A step in that direction is the Counterfeit Drug Prevention Act of 2009, H.R. 1450, which proposes stronger penalties for counterfeiters. Under the bill, counterfeiters could face up to 20 years in prison, or a fine, or both, and if a counterfeit drug is found to be the cause of death of a consumer, the offender could receive a life sentence. Increased penalties for wholesalers who knowingly distribute counterfeit drugs are also proposed.
Another tactic in fighting counterfeiting is to add security features at the product level, specifically, to the dosage form. This makes pharmaceutical products more difficult to copy, allows for authentication of an individual dose of a product, and allows brand owners to monitor their supply chains and identify instances of diversion. FDA issued a draft guidance, Incorporation of Physical-Chemical Identifiers into Solid Oral Dosage Form Drug Products for Anticounterfeiting, last week that offers recommendations on the use of physical chemical identifiers (PCIDs) such as inks, pigments, and flavors on oral dosage forms (see ePT story). The guidance also reviews procedures for supporting documentation submission if a manufacturer intends to begin using PCIDs as well as the use of PCIDs in packaging and labeling. Comments on the draft can be submitted to FDA and on regulations.gov.
Dosage-form security features and other anticounterfeiting technologies were the subject of a recent PharmTech special report. The application of such technologies is one part of the solution to combat the spread of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Combined with regulatory and industry standards for increased supply-chain security, harsher penalties for counterfeiters, and constant vigilance by consumers, the threat of counterfeit drugs can be weakened.

Teardrops Lyrics - Malina
Years ago I used to wander
Felt so wonky on my knees
I was feeling down and tired
Always looking for relief
And for a savior
Who'd finally raise my darkest thoughts
To the sun
I used my teardrops
To wash myself clean
I had no restrain
Now I won't be no more waiting in vain
I know that I won't miss my train
Yet the mood I'm in is frailty
You're my force and my despair
Will oblivion always help me
Will you always be fair?
How many black nights
Of cold and ice that stroke me right
To the bone
I shed my teardrops
To make more room inside and let you in
Scared by the thought of going insane
Those fears have been wasting my brain
Years ago I used to wander
Still I can't depend on you
But it's hard to make my own way.

A picturesque view of Schnebly Hill greets tourists when they pop in at the new Sedona Chamber of Commerce Visitor's Center on Forest Road in Uptown.
By Trista Steers
Larson Newspapers
A picturesque view of Schnebly Hill greets tourists when they pop in at the new Sedona Chamber of Commerce Visitor's Center on Forest Road in Uptown.
Large picture windows facing Hwy. 89A give visitors their first glimpse of what Sedona has to offer.
"I think this is a fantastic first impression to share with them," Chamber President and CEO Jennifer Wesselhoff told a crowd gathered for a dedication ceremony Wednesday, Oct. 3.
Community leaders stood in the center's plaza, constructed thanks to a generous donation from Larson Newspapers, while Wesselhoff, Mayor Pud Colquitt and Chamber Board of Directors Chairman Edd Zielinski talked about the many people who contributed to the center's remodeling project.
The center, Zielinski said, is "truly a symbol of the generosity of this community."
Bob Larson, Larson Newspapers publisher, former chamber officer and current chamber member, said that as Sedona's major media source, his organization's sponsorship of Sedona Red Rock News Plaza, shows the newspapers' commitment to serving the community.
"We just thought it was our duty," Larson said.
The Lions Club — which donated the land to the chamber in the 1960s — was also honored for its
contribution with a plaque on the outside wall of the center.
The building was named after the late Dr. Ray Elliott, a longtime Sedona resident who originally owned the land.
The center opened two weeks ago, moving back to its original home on Forest Road from a temporary location in Sinagua Plaza.
Construction started last winter and Colquitt said the center's new face fits in perfectly with the rest of Uptown. The rustic architecture makes the building
look as if its been there all along.
Sedona needed a warm, friendly visitors center, Colquitt said, to welcome the thousands of tourists who residents like to share Sedona with.
"We're alive and kicking and that's good. That's healthy," Colquitt said.
The center is staffed by four of the chamber's approximate 70 volunteers who give visitors information on anything from where to stay to which trail to hike for various levels of difficulty. Eventually, three electronic kiosks will also allow visitors to access information on their own.

A sometimes clueless presidentBy Rodel Rodis
"Aquino didn't snub Filipinos in US—Palace" blared the Sunday September 28 headline of INQUIRER.net report on Pres. Aquino's response to complaints from Filipinos in the US about his failure to meet with the Filipino community during his five-day visit to the US. The fact that Pres. Aquino's communications people had to respond so defensively is already a reflection of the cluelessness of Pres. Aquino and his advisers in Malacanang.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Medical Licensing Board took no action against Dr. Ulrich Klopfer on Wednesday because of an ongoing investigation by the attorney general's office into the abortion doctor's actions.
The board had originally asked Klopfer to appear regarding his license renewal because of media reports about mishandled paperwork and other concerns.
His license is still valid, though it is unclear whether the attorney general might level official charges in the future.
Wednesday's meeting was so packed, the state fire marshal's office raised concern and barred others from entering.
Klopfer, who until recently performed abortions in Fort Wayne, also does abortions in South Bend and Gary.
He was charged earlier this month in Lake County with a misdemeanor criminal charge of failing to timely file a public report in connection with a case involving a 13-year-old rape victim.
The court document alleges that Klopfer performed an abortion on the girl at a clinic in Gary in September 2012. However, the Indiana Terminated Pregnancy Report form wasn't filed by Klopfer within the required time frame. The form wasn't received by the Indiana State Department of Health until January 2013.
Klopfer lost the right to perform abortions in Fort Wayne at the start of the year because his backup doctor severed ties with him.
Allen County law requires that doctors who practice in but don't live in the county have a relationship with a local doctor who can legally practice in Allen County.
State law requires abortion doctors to have local admitting privileges or have an agreement with a physician who has admitting privileges at a hospital in case of an emergency.

Will Deck.ly Change the Way You Tweet(deck)?
Jan 31, 2011
Back in the day, Twitter's 140-character limit made sense, as the company was still mostly focused on the mobile market and tweets had to comfortably fit into a single text message. Now, however, as the majority of Twitter users use the Web and mobile and desktop apps to engage with the service, this limit makes less and less sense. TweetDeck, the popular mobile and desktop Twitter client just unveiled a new service, Deck.ly, that allows users to write blog-length Tweets without character limits.

Don't Track Me: Google Makes Opting Out of Ad and Data Tracking Easy
Jan 24, 2011

Today, just a few hours after Mozilla announced its plan to offer a do-not-track tool for Firefox, Google announced a new Chrome plugin that allows users to permanently opt-out of personalized ads and data tracking from not just Google, but a wide range of other online advertising companies as well.

Qwiki is an app that creates pretty slideshows based on Wikipedia entries. The service won the top award at the last Techcrunch Disrupt conference and just received $8 million in new funding from a group led by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. Personally, I never understood why putting together a text-to-speech engine with a Ken Burns effect was disruptive. The VCs...

Sorry, but Google's Version of Groupon is Not Live Yet
Jan 21, 2011
The good folks over at ClickZ just posted a story with the following headline: "Google's Version of Groupon is Live: How it Works." Problem is, that is simply not true. The image in the article - reproduced below - is from the Google Places interface which has allowed vendors to offer coupons for a long time now (since around 2008, if I remember it right). This tab used to be called "Coupons" at one point in the past.

Skype Toolbar for Firefox Caused 40,000 Crashes Last Week – Now Blocked by Mozilla
Jan 20, 2011
Usually, when we talk about plugins that crash our browsers, chances are that we are talking about Flash. Today, however, Mozilla announced that it is blocking the Skype Toolbar from its Firefox browser as it "is one of the top crashers of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13, and was involved in almost 40,000 crashes of Firefox last week." The Skype toolbar examines every page you load for phone numbers and then re-renders these as clickable Skype buttons that enable users to initiate Skype calls right from their browser.
Google Plays Catch-Up with Upcoming Groupon Clone
Jan 20, 2011
Groupon is the hottest thing on the Internet today. It doesn't come as a surprise that Google is preparing to launch a Groupon clone of its own now after an unsuccessful attempt to buy the company outright. But maybe it should come as a surprise. After all, the daily deal market is already full of competitors in every possible niche and Google is only a few months late to the party. There was a time where Google was launching innovative products - now it's just launching clones - and some of them, like Buzz, aren't even able to make much of a dent in their market.

Their home is thoughtfully restored and with all the modern conveniences, ensuite baths, etc. Breakfast was very nice, with many, many, all Vegan choices, non dairy milks and most things organic. If you have Soya (or other milk) in your coffee, Penny makes a great cup of coffee! A definite if you stay in Hastings area.

USA Today notes a decline in the percentage of people who expect to receive their Social Security benefits. The first sentence of the piece implies that the loss of confidence is due to that fact people have been: "battered by high unemployment and record home foreclosures."
While the recession could explain the loss of confidence in Social Security, it is also possible that the huge public relations campaign by Peter Peterson and others has played a role. Peterson, a Wall Street investment banker, has pledged $1 billion to a foundation that has cutting Social Security and Medicare as its major goals. He has spoken widely around the country telling people that Social Security is going broke and that it has no trust fund. He has enlisted prominent political figures, including former President Bill Clinton in this effort.
There are other efforts to undermine public confidence in Social Security, most notably President Obama's deficit commission. Former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson, one of the co-chairs of this commission, has also frequently insisted that Social Security is going broke.
It is possible that these public relations efforts have had their intended effect of undermining confidence in the Social Security. The article should have at least noted this possibility.
The Washington Post felt that it was important to tell readers that the stimulus was very unpopular in a working class Pennsylvania district. However, it did not point out that a main reason that it is unpopular is that voter confuse the stimulus with the TARP bank bailout, which the paper strongly supported.
According to the article:
"Democratic pollster Mark Mellman said disgust with the stimulus and anxiety about the deficit are 'really a metaphor for wasteful government spending.' From the perspective of many voters, 'a lot of their money has gone out the door to bail out big banks and big corporations while their jobs have been lost.'"
This is a pretty direct statement that the TARP remains incredibly unpopular and that voters tend to confuse the stimulus with the TARP. A serious newspaper would have made this point. It is not that the voters object to measures that create jobs, they object to measures that hand banks money.
The housing wealth effect -- the idea that people's consumption is determined in part by their housing wealth -- is one of the oldest concepts in economics. Apparently the NYT still has not heard about it.
An article about the consumption patterns of the wealthy made no mention at all of their housing wealth. The economy lost around $6 trillion in housing wealth with the collapse of the bubble, a disproportionate share of this wealth was held by the wealthy. It would be very surprising if their consumption did not decline in response to this loss of wealth. (The housing wealth effect is usually estimated at 5-7 cents of additional consumption each year for every additional dollar of housing wealth.)
The NYT reported that negotiations between Hungary and the IMF and EU on the release of additional funds reached a deadlock over the weekend. Buried deep in the article, the NYT reported that:
"The I.M.F and E.U had criticized Hungary's decision to impose a special tax on financial institutions, saying it would send the wrong signal to investors and could hurt economic growth."
This is striking since apparently the IMF and the EU are insisting that Hungary tax measures like cutting benefits for retirees rather than tax banks. This would have been worth publicizing.
The IMF has publicly claimed that it supported making the banks and either financial institutions pay more towards supporting government budgets. The effort to force Hungary to get rid of its bank tax, apparently accompanied by the threat of withholding funds, suggests that it is not following in practice the position that it has taken in public. This contradiction merits attention from the media.
That must be what NYT readers must be asking after seeing unemployment benefits described as "deficit-bloating government spending" in an article about the problems facing those who have lost their benefits and the prospect that Congress will vote to extend benefits. While this view may express the reporter or editor's opinion, it conveys no information whatsoever to readers.
The article also asserted that Congress is reluctant to extend benefits because: "fears about the country's skyrocketing deficit, which are at the heart of Republican objections, have gained growing prevalence."
The article does not say how it has determined that fears about deficits ("skyrocketing" is more editorializing) explain the Republicans' motivations. Most of the Republicans expressing these concerns had little problem supporting the Bush tax cuts or spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, all of which added to the deficit. This may call into question their professed concerns about deficits now. They may just not want to give the Democrats a victory or they could hope that by making the economy worse the the electoral prospects of Republicans will be improved in November.
The reasons that politicians give for their actions are often not the true reason. Since reporters cannot typically know the true reason, they should just tell readers what the politicians say rather than trying to explain their motives.
The NYT had a piece reporting on how banks may alter their business practices in order to make up for provisions in the financial reform bill that could reduce profits. The article notes that banks may start charging for some services that they currently provide free to customers. For example it reports that banks may no longer offer free checking, instead charging most customers fees for their accounts as a way to make up for lower margins on credit and debit cards.
The piece then quotes J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon:
"If you're a restaurant and you can't charge for the soda, you're going to charge more for the burger. ... Over time, it will all be repriced into the business."
Actually, this is not typically true. If a particular restaurant charged high prices for its drinks in order to subsidize its burgers, then we would expect many customers would just buy the burgers and order water. The restaurant would only be able to get away with its burger subsidy strategy if it either did not offer the customer the choice of just getting the burger or if there was collusion with other restaurants. This suggests collusion in the highly concentrated credit and debit card industry, which would mean that anti-trust action would have been appropriate in the absence of the restrictions in the new law. The implication is that banks used their market power to have customers subject to overdraft fees or users of debit cards subsidize the checking accounts of customers who did not paid these fees.
It also is worth noting that banks' profitability will not necessarily be restored to pre-regulation levels. This would only necessarily be the case if banks were just making a normal profit, below which they would go out of business. Certainly J.P. Morgan and other large banks are making more than a normal profit.
As the continued interest in the thoughts of Alan Greenspan shows, there is absolutely no amount of failure and incompetence that can get a person removed from the ranks of wise people once they have held an important government office. In keeping with this spirit, the Washington Post turned to Franklin Raines, a former director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to get advice for Jack Lew, the income director, on dealing with the deficit.
Mr. Raines was a past director of OMB, but his greatest claim to fame was probably his tenure as CEO at Fannie Mae, which ended in 2004 due to an accounting scandal. While Fannie and Freddie are not the villains of the housing bubble that the right likes to claim (private issuers of mortgage backed securities were far bigger sinners), the mortgage giants were incredibly irresponsible in their failure to recognize the bubble (which was already evident by 2004) and to adjust their lending accordingly.
This is why it is more than a bit infuriating to see Mr. Raines tell us that:
"Most of the long-run deficit is composed of the interest on debt piled up because we were unwilling to pay today (or over an economic cycle) for the spending we want today."
Yes, we did not run up huge surpluses in prior years in anticipation that there would be a huge housing bubble, the collapse of which would devastate the economy and require massive government stimulus to restore growth. I suppose that we can all plead guilty on that one.
[Addendum: Yes, I had earlier written in Harold Raines, which I corrected after a reader e-mailed me. The cause of the confusion is of course the legendary Chicago White Sox outfielder, Harold Baines.]
When he was Fed chairman, Alan Greenspan was almost a cult figure, with the media treating every pronouncement as a gem containing great wisdom. His status is somewhat lower now that is apparent that his incredible mismanagement of the economy has given us the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
This raises the issue of why the media, or anyone else, should care that Alan Greenspan now thinks that it would be a good idea to let the Bush tax cuts lapse in their entirety. Those who care about such trivia may recall that Mr. Greenspan had originally been an important advocate of these tax cuts. His stated reason was that he was concerned that the government would pay off its debt too quickly.
A NYT blogpost noted the rise in labor force participation among older workers and the decline in participation among younger workers. It lists the fall in stock prices and therefore 401(k) values as one reason for the rise in older workers' participation.
This is not likely to be an important factor, since few older workers had a substantial amount of stock even before the crisis. The loss of housing equity was likely a far more important factor in causing older workers to remain in the workforce. For the vast majority of older workers housing equity is their major source of wealth.
(The piece also lists the rise in the minimum wage as a reason that younger workers may be leaving the labor force. There is a vast amount of economic research that indicates that minimum wages have very little effect on the employment of younger workers.)
In its report on Goldman Sachs $500 million settlement of its case with the SEC, NPR described Goldman as a "survivor" of the financial crisis. While Goldman obviously did survive the crisis, it only did so with massive assistance from the government. This included loans through the TARP, loans and loan guarantees from the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, and the payment of $13 billion in obligations from AIG. However the most important form of assistance stemmed from the Fed's decision to allow Goldman to become a bank holding company in the middle of the crisis, giving it the explicit protection of the Fed and the FDIC.
Describing Goldman as a "survivor" may imply that it managed to get through the crisis by its own ingenuity and mastery of finance. In fact, Goldman survived in the same way that an earthquake victim survives when the rescue squad digs them out from the rubble and rushes them to the emergency care ward. Its ingenuity in this context was only in its ability to get its political allies to come to its aid with enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars while demanding almost nothing in return.
Btw, it would be interesting to know how much Goldman made on the deal for which it is paying this fine. If the fine is not many times larger than the profit, it is not sending much of a message. The probability of getting caught in this sort of fraud is very low. It is a safe bet that the SEC never would have brought its case if the participants at Goldman had not been incredibly foolish in leaving a substantial paper (e-mail) trail. Had they been somewhat smarter, the SEC would have had nothing with which to make their case.
Given the low probability of detection, a fine has to be very large relative to the potential gains from fraud in order to provide an effective deterrence. This, and other pieces on the settlement, never even discuss this issue.

Homemade Pizza...Help!
- crosby_p Jul 28, 2008 04:26 AM
I ordered a pizza stone from the local Pampered Chef lady and was excited to make one at home. I bought a ball of fresh dough from my local Italian market. The instructions I had, from a friend, said to put corn starch or flour on the stone, then roll out the dough. It took me what seemed like forever, but finally got the stuff rolled out. I was then told to prick it all over with a fork, and brush on some olive oil, and bake for 10-minutes at 450. She warned that I would probably have to prick it some more before it was finished, but I did not. At 10 minutes, it still looked kinda raw, so I added five more...I took it out, added pizza sauce, fresh thinly sliced tomatoes and onions, and an anchovy or 10. Baked it for 10-more minutes, still didn't look done. After another 10-the cheese had melted and actually browned so I grabbed it out quickly.
Although the taste was ok, the crust, at least at the edge, could have broken a tooth! I think I used too much sauce too, and maybe not enough cheese. It was my first time, and of course I will try again, but is there anything anyone sees that is a blatant error? I thought the crust should have been a little brown on the first bake, but maybe not?
There's no need to prebake the crust when you're cooking on a stone in a home oven. Just preheat the oven (and the stone) thoroughly, then slide the pizza onto the stone. One way to do that is to make the pizza on a sheet of Resist foil, which is silicon-coated, or on a piece of parchment. A more professional way is to sprinkle cornmeal or polenta on a baking peel, and slide the pizza onto the stone--but it takes practice. In any case, don't prebake the crust, just preheat the oven.
Corn starch? ?? Try cornmeal. (Must've gotten lost in the translation.) Try reading up on doing a pizza crust on a stone; before your next attempt. Make sure your stone is preheated. Properly. Try 500°. Dough was probably too thin as well. You'll get a nice oven spring on the stone too. Remember. No oil on the stone too.
re: cowguy
Oops...I meant corn meal...sorry
Did your dough have a chance to recover from rolling out? If it was difficult to roll, it may have been too cold, and dormant. It needs 20-25 min. in a warm area to get going again, but just barely, as there will be oven spring , after you assemble it and slide it into the oven.
I like a really crisp crust and this is what I do:
1. Make sure your dough is room temperature and remember that the protein in yer dough will cause it to contract if it's overworked once yer trying to shape it. Be gentle and stretch. If it causes you grief (i.e. it's contracting), cover it with plastic and allow the dough to chill out and relax itself.
2. Preheat oven as hot as it will go for at least 30 minutes before you begin (it's best to do it 1 hr. before to make sure stone is rocket hot)
3. I place my pizza round directly on the stone (no toppings) just by pulling out the rack and draping it on the stone. It's easier than a peel, you don't need cornmeal, and it never fails
4. I bake the crust (no toppings) for about 4 minutes, or until i see some degree of browning around the thin areas of the crust. The crust bubbles up, yes, but i push them down when i sauce the crust.
5. Important info about sauce: One thing I've found is that to get the super crisp crust, the sauce must be really thick (almost pastelike)...too thin, and you get a soggy crust...
Sauce, then cheese, etc...
I don't own a peel, just wooden cutting board which i abutt to the oven rack when the pizza is brown around the crust, then using tongs, slide pizza onto board.
There's no need to parbake the crust in a home oven. You'll be fine if you just put everything on at once and pop it in the oven. As far as temperature goes, I'd put you oven on the highest setting available. You also don't want to poke it with a fork unless you're after a very dense crust, and also don't want to roll it out with a rolling pin. Doing either of these will knock the air bubbles out of the dough, and you want a nice, light, airy dough for pizza. You want to use your hands to flatten out the dough and form it.
I'm assuming you were going for a NYC pizza. One of the best places to go to learn about pizzamaking is pizzamaking.com. There are step by step instructions there, and recipes for both the dough and sauce if you're inclined to try making either yourself. There's also a very good, step by step pictorial about making a NYC style pizza.
I mostly agree with the other posts, especially the use of parchment paper to build the pizza on. It works well enough that you may never need a peel, just use an unlipped sheet pan or the back of a lipped one and slide the whole thing onto the stone. pre backing is not necessary.
Do preheat the stone for at least 30 minutes in the top third of the oven, I set my oven for 550 (as hot as it goes). Let it reheat and dry out for 10 minutes or so between pizzas if doing multiples for crispier crusts.
I use TJ's dough when I'm lazy (like last night), and if it seems to be fighting back I cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for a while, it settles down and becomes friendly again.
Don't oversauce! This leads to the toppings all sliding off when you pick up a slice. Cook your sauce down until it is almost paste-like and spread it thin. Even jarred sauces work well if you do this.
Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before cutting, it will hold together better.
re: Scrapironchef
I really appreciate all the help as I am NOT a baker, and dough just isn't my thing. How long is "a while"? 10 minutes or so? I couldn't believe it took me so long to roll out that crust!
re: crosby_p
This is the thing about bread dough: It's got carbs and it's also got protien. When you stretch the dough, or knead it, or generally agitate it's composure, the protein in it gets all excited and starts flexing its muscles. Once it starts flexing it'll start contracting and there's no way in hell you'll get the dough to do what you want (i.e. roll out into a 10 inch circle). - I tell my kids that by working the dough (i.e. kneading, handling, slapping, etc) the dough can't help but start flexing it's muscles.
My advice for store bought dough:
Begin with a ball: Take that dough you bought and divide into two, keeping it covered with plastic at all times yer not working with it. With one lump, turn it into a real ball any way you can (bakers term this "rounding" and there are a number of ways to go about it, though it's crucial to getting a round pizza later in the game.)
Allow yer dough to rest. This means, keep it covered in plastic and DO NOT TOUCH, POKE, OR AGITATE it for at least 10 minutes. The dough is rested when you press it down and it stays down and doesn't contract on you. If it's not rested after 10 minutes, give it another 10 more. Depending on how much you jacked up the dough's protiein when rounding it, it could take between 5-25 minutes.
Once it no longer contracts, use yer fingers and palm to press down and pull dough out. You want to stretch the entirety of the dough, not just the top surface. Around this time I take the dough and place it on the back side of my floured hands and gently tug, whist rotating in a circular fashion to the desired size.
I say the thing I fear the most in making a pizza, is having that dreaded raw dough gum-line where the sauce gets placed on the crust.
I then must agree with Scrapironchef, that the sauce needs to be reduced in moisture. In a pinch, I may add some dry seasonings/cheeses spooned into the crust before adding on the sauce.
I generally make white bread dough pan pizzas using just a basic half size commercial bake sheets. I prefer to mix half my precooked (drained) sausage, pizza sauce, and some parmesan cheese together. Then top with remaining sausage and real moz.
re: RShea78
I've also found that to keep the crust from getting soggy, the toppings need to be dry to start. I don't use tomato sauce, but hand crushed whole canned tomaotes. , at 1 can per 16" pie. But you have to really wring them out....I dump the whole can in a colander, and then squeeze the tomatoes by hand, to remove the juice. You want it to pack like a snowball, and a whole can will get you a ball about the size of a baseball. When you top the pie, it will look a bit thin (~50% coverage), but its plenty, and it seems to spread and get more uniform when it cooks.
Also, since it is uncooked and unseasoned, I season the pie a bit more. I microplane 1 clove of garlic into each can, and also top the tomatoes with very thinly sliced onion, which melts into the pie...not an onion topping.
If you are doing any other wet toppings, pre-cook them (e.g., saute veggies, crumbled sausage, etc. And last, if your mozz is wet (and it should be...no Polly-O!), slice it, and lay it on a paper towel, salt it, and cover and roll up for 10 mins to get excess moisture out.
I don't bake either, but I have started making my own dough for pizza. I use the recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, and it has (knock on wood) come out perfectly every time. The ingredients are all cheap things that are probably in your cupboard, and I always make more than I need and freeze what's leftover. I use the dough for breadsticks, focaccia, pizza, and pretty much anytime I feel like getting compliments on something that took very little time or effort.
I have the same stone and make pizza every week. I preheat the stone on the lowest oven rack, with convection "on", at 550 for 1 hour. I pre-bake crust for 5 minutes, no oil. Then add sauce, a low-moisture mozzarella and turkey pepperoni (minimizing moisture laden ingredients helps deliver a non-soggy pizza). Cook 5 more minutes and remove. Cool for 5 minutes. Cut. Enjoy. Hit the gym all week and repeat in 7 days :)
Our crust is bubbly with a chewy interior. The middle of the pizza is crisp on bottom with a wickedly thin veneer of soft chewiness. I buy a dough ball, let it rise, roll it out on a flour covered counter, move to plate, cover and let rise again (about 30 minutes). Roll it one more time on a flour covered counter. Finally, I do dock the interior of my dough before baking. I bought a dough docker at a restaurant supply store...worked much better for me than my Psycho-inspired fork stabbing.
Keep experimenting. You will find your crust nirvana.
I make my own dough, let it do its resting/proofing thing. Turn on oven to highest setting and let it reach 450 or so, cook pizza on heavy duty cookie pan for ½ to 2/3 of the cooking time. Then I place it on the pizza stone for finish it off. Maybe 10 mins on the metal and 6 to 8 on stone.
I found my pizza to have too thick of a crust layer on the bottom with a pizza stone and under cooked on the bottom with metal pan. So I use them both.
I'll be buying a real metal pizza pan and peel within the next few days. Having the right tools makes all the difference.
