Information on Body Composition:
Everybody is concerned about their weight. But what is the basis for determining your ideal weight? The key is BMI. BMI is short for Body Mass Index. This index uses the following simple formula to indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person.
BMI = Weight (Kg) / Height (M) / Height (M)The Omron body composition monitor uses the height information stored in your personal profile number to calculate your BMI.
Interpreting the BMI result
BMI | Classification (By the WHO) |
Less than 18.5 | Underweight |
18.5 or more and less than 25 | Normal |
25 or more and less than 30 | Overweight |
30 or more | Obese |
Body Fat
Body fat serves a vital role in storing energy and protecting internal organs. We carry two types of fat in our bodies.
• Essential fat which is stored in small amounts to protect the body
• Adipose tissue (stored fat) provides cushion and insulation ti internal organs, covers the nerves, moves vitamins throughout the body and is the largest reserve of stored energy available for activity.
While too much body fat may be unhealthy, having too little fat can be just as unhealthy. Also, the distribution of body fat in men and women is different, so the basis for classifying the body fat percentage is different between the genders.
What is Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage refers to the amount of body fat mass in regards to the total body weight expressed as a percentage.
Visceral Fat
Visceral fat is found in the abdomen and surrounding vital organ. It is different from fat found directly underneath the skin, which is referred to as subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat can go largely unnoticed because it's not visible to the naked eye. One way visceral fat can be seen is through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased levels of fat in the bloodstream, which may lead to conditions such as high cholesterol, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. In order to prevent or improve these conditions, it is important to try to reduce the amount of visceral fat levels to an acceptable level.
Skeletal Muscle
What is skeletal muscle
Muscle is divided into two types, muscle in internal organs - such as the heart and muscle attached to bones that is used to move the body. Skeletal muscle can be increased through exercise and other activity.
What is skeletal muscle ratio
Refers to the amount of skeletal muscle mass in regards to the total body weight expressed as a percentage.
Skeletal muscle ratio (%) = {Skeletal muscle mass (kg) / Body weight (kg)} x 100
This product uses BI (Bioelectrical Impedance) to calculate your skeletal muscle mass. Keep skeletal muscle and strengthen it to make corporeity not easily become fat. This product feature is the measurement of skeletal muscle ratio. If you strengthen skeletal muscle and improve basal metabolism, you will not get fat easily.
Resting Metabolism
Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of energy is required to sustain the body's everyday functions. Resting metabolism, the amount of calories needed to supply the body with the minimum level of energy, differs between individuals depending on variables such as age, weight, body composition and energy expenditure.
What is Subcutaneous fat?
Subcutaneous fat = fat below the skin
Subcutaneous fat not only accumulates around the stomach but also around the upper arms, hips and thighs and can cause a distortion of the body's propositions. Although not directly linked to increased risk of disease, it is thought to increase pressure on the heart and other complications.
Body Age
Body age is based on your resting metabolism. Body age is calculated by using your weight and body fat percentage to produce a guide to judge whether your body age is above or below the average for your actual age. To know your body age is useful to improve your health condition. Body age varies according to Body composition and resting metabolism, even if your height and weight is the same.

Recent Tensions between Russia and the West (Released May 2008)
The elections had been surrounded in controversy since the decision earlier this year by the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, OSCE, to boycott them due to limitations imposed by Moscow. Immediately after the elections the only Western watchdog which had been able to observe, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, PACE, stated that "Russia's democratic potential was unfulfilled."6 Accusations of electoral fraud also came from the runner-up, Gennady Zyuganov, the leader of the Communist Party, although his vote total was nowhere near that of Medvedev. The election results mean that relations with the West are unlikely to change, especially as Medvedev is regarded as Putin's puppet; effectively it will be the latter running the country.
Relations with former Republics were a key issue in the election, as many Russians resent their loss. Moscow fears that the nearby Republic of Georgia will gain a pro-Western government as happened in the Ukraine in the so-called Orange Revolution. Russia in many ways behaves towards its nearest former Soviet states as though it still controls them; it has interfered in numerous regional conflicts over territories supplying arms to their favoured side. In the case of Moldova, mentioned earlier, Russian troops supplied arms and fought for the residents of Transdniestr, even now Russian 'peace-keeping' soldiers remain in the area. Moldova is another example of a former republic heavily reliant on Russia for its energy supplies. Russia's stance towards its former Soviet territories is still criticised by Western leaders, as the Kremlin, under the guise of Gazprom, wields much power and influence over countries such as Georgia and Ukraine. It is almost as though Russia resents their political independence but still enjoys some authority by being able to control their energy supplies. On many occasions Gazprom has cut off gas supplies to Georgia (over apparently unpaid bills) to ensure the country's cooperation with Moscow. Russia has also threatened serious consequences to Europe and Georgia should the latter join NATO, an action which would further isolate Russia. Tension remains regarding unresolved conflicts over small territories between Russia and Georgia. It must be remembered that Russia is not an EU member, not an ally of the USA and not an ally of China; although this makes it a potential partner to any it also makes them a potential enemy as it stands somewhat alone.

text: New index rates severity of pandemics, advises action By Kathy Gurchiek 2/16/2007 Permissions The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled the latest influenza preparedness tool on Feb. 1: a Pandemic Severity Index. Modeled along the lines of the hurricane ranking system, the index has five different categories of pandemics accompanied by recommended measures. How severe a pandemic is judged to be is determined by the percentage of infected people who die from that pandemic, according to the CDC. A category 1 pandemic is as harmful as a severe seasonal influenza season, while a pandemic as bad or worse as the 1918 flu pandemic that resulted in approximately 675,000 deaths in the United States and up to 50 million worldwide would be ranked category 5. A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. Scientists cannot yet determine whether the H5N1 avian influenza, or bird flu strain, will cause the next human influenza pandemic, according to the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. The virus does not currently transmit easily from human to human and H5N1 has not been found in the United States in either birds or humans, according to the HHS, but there were 116 confirmed bird flu cases and 80 related deaths around the world in 2006, according to the World Health Organization. A vaccine is the best protection against pandemic influenza, but one is not likely to be available at the beginning of a pandemic, the CDC notes. Folded into the ranking system are guidelines, focusing primarily at the community level, on measures to take during the pandemic to stop or limit its spread. Those measures are based on the severity of the pandemic. Under a Pandemic Severity Index (PSI) category 2 or 3, workplaces would be advised to consider modifying schedules and rely more heavily on telework and staggered shifts, while those steps would not be generally recommended under the far less severe PSI category 1. Employers also can go to www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/business/index.html for a list of CDC and HHS guidelines and a checklist of precautions they can take in the event of a pandemic flu. "It's important that we try in advance to imagine and evaluate some of the steps that could be taken to slow the spread of pandemic influenza in communities," CDC director Dr. Julie Gerberding said in a press release. She was proud of the CDC's work with federal and state partners in developing the PSI and linking it to potential actions, she said. "We recognize that much work remains, but this new approach should help communities, schools, businesses and others strengthen their pandemic influenza plans." The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on Feb. 6 unveiled new workplace safety and health guidance to help employers prepare for an influenza pandemic. The guidance, developed with HHS, describes the differences between seasonal, avian and pandemic influenza; gives information on the nature of a pandemic, how it is likely to spread and how exposure is likely to occur. It also divides workplaces and operations into four risk zones based on the likelihood of employees' occupational exposure to pandemic influenza; recommends work practices employers can take, and looks at the value of equipment, such as respirators and surgical masks, in protecting employees.

Actually I found the Ostriches to be quite interesting. Although they are a voiceless creature, they do produce a rather ominous sound by hissing loudly, then quickly opening their beaks wide and snapping them shut, producing a sound that sounds like two flat boards being slapped together. When I first approached the cage that bird rapidly made those slapping sounds as if to warn me off, but after standing quietly for a few moments the bird calmed down and moved closer to the wire. awm03- You are correct, there was a lot of photo opportunity there, but due to the design and construction of the enclosures photographing the animals proved to be quite challenging. Some of the small animals were in cages where the wire only extending up about 5ft so I was able to shoot over the top of the fence but for the larger animals and especially birds which could fly over a fence, the fencing extended up about 12 feet and covered over the top. In the case of animals that might bite a finger they built the enclosures with 4x4 posts with the wire on both sides so finger cannot extend into the enclosure. I am attaching a picture of a Great Horned Owl that was in one of the enclosures with the double fencing. In order to get the shot I used a 100-300mm f4.5 zoom set at 100mm and set the camera to AP MODE (aperture priority) so I could manually fully open the aperture to minimize depth of field. I then shot through the openings in the wire as best I could with the lens focused on the bird. In this manner the minimum depth of field helped negate the wire in the foreground. If you look close at the photo you can see the effects of the wire, even though it is out of focus enough that it doesn't obscure the subject. |

When somebody writes the definitive David Stern biography, I'll pre-order it and devote a weekend to reading it cover-to-cover. It would be the fitting response to a book devoted to a man who was commissioner of the greatest professional association of the greatest sport on this planet for more than a quarter-century. It's not giving him enough credit to say "he rules with an iron fist" — that's how Roger Goodell runs the NFL and while that works for him, that league has virtually unlimited leeway with its customers because the NFL is as much an ethos as it is a sport. The reason why Stern has been such an enduring success in his job is that he's not only more stronger-willed than everyone he takes on, he's also smarter, more experienced, quicker-witted, and… and here's what I think almost everyone fails to understand about him… he also loves the NBA as much as anyone on the planet.
From what I've been able to glean, Stern hasn't been particularly forthcoming about how he feels about being put in charge of the New Orleans Hornets while the league seeks the ideal billionaire to purchase the team. Did he relish the outrage he provoked when he vetoed the three-way trade that would have made Chris Paul a Laker? Hard to say, but he has to feel pretty smug now that he's managed to improve on the Hornets' return from the original package that would have netted Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Lamar Odom, Goran Dragic and the Knicks' 2012 first round pick. That wasn't a horrible deal by any measure, but most of those players are probably at or past their peaks with contracts that are not exactly conducive to selling a struggling franchise.
Today's deal netted the Hornets a probable future All-Star in shooting guard Eric Gordon — who is still on his rookie contract and will turn 23 years old later this month — along with Chris Kaman's $12.7 million expiring contract, athletic sophomore Al-Farouq Aminu, and the Timberwolves' unprotected first-round pick in what promises to be a stacked 2012 draft class. In terms of young talent with upside, salary cap flexibility and maximizing the Hornets' appeal for a potential buyer, I can't imagine a trade that could have worked out for them better than this one.
With all of the boneheaded moves that NBA general managers have made during Stern's 27 years as league commissioner, I have to wonder if he didn't enjoy the unusual opportunity for him to show them how to really drive a hard bargain. I won't name names, but I read a lot of NBA columnists and bloggers over the past week complain that Stern killed the best possible deal the Hornets could have negotiated. One particularly prominent NBA opinionist made a point of spinning a narrative that depicted Stern as a doddering old man who wasn't equipped to deal with this new breed of new-money owners and me-first players.
If I've understood anything about David Stern during his regime, it was that he would never stick around beyond the point where he wasn't still the smartest, most cold-blooded player in this game. Everyone is still reeling from this trade and its ramifications, but when all of you come to your senses, don't even try to front that Stern didn't make the best possible deal for the Hornets in the end.
If you can't bring yourself to give the old man credit, distract yourself with dreams of Paul-to-Griffin alley-oops and move on to your next concocted outrage about how you deserve a discount on your League Pass or whatever. Through all your complaining, you'll keep watching and opening your wallets unless you have much more willpower and much less passion for the NBA than I do. Improbably, this is shaping up to be an even more compelling season than the last one. And I predict that David Stern will walk away from his job with the league in better shape than it's ever been in — whether or not you want to give him credit for that is irrelevant.

22 Things We Learned from the 'House of Wax' Commentary…in 3D!
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on October 3, 2013 | Comments (1)Long before Avatar and RealD broke new ground to bring a new version of 3D to movie audiences, Warner Bros. released the wildly successful major motion picture House of Wax in Polarized 3D. This helped launch the 3D craze of the 1950s, but that fad soon fizzled as the films released in this format rarely held up on their own once the gimmick wore off. Still, House of Wax has earned a long life for genre fans, shown with anaglyph prints and also flat on various home video formats. Now that 3D technology has reached home theaters, Warner Bros. has released House of Wax with its original stereoscopic presentation on 3D Blu-ray, just past the movie's 60th anniversary. For the new Blu-ray, film historians David Del Valle and Constantine Nasr lend their voices to a technical and historical commentary, shedding some new light on the film that gave Vincent Price his first real step into the world of horror movies. Whether you appreciate the 3D of the film, or even if you're a hater who won't watch anything in 3D unless you absolutely have to, the new release of this classic horror flick gives unique insight into the cycle of 3D trends and how it emerged in the early 1950s.

Top Tips for Buying Lingerie
Us romantics subscribe to the notion that lingerie is a window into a woman's soul. It shows how she feels about herself and how she wants to express herself to her lover. And while communication is essential for any relationship, nowhere does a lover risk potential miscommunication in gift-giving than in the purchase of lingerie!
Fortunately, over in England, a shop called John Lewis thoughtfully created a"lingerie academy" for men, complete with leather couches, Wii and free beer, to take the terror out of T&A gift-giving.
What are these daring men learning? We scoured the observations of the Times of London's brave reporter and here's the top tips for buying lingerie:
1. Above all, channel your lady's style. Don't know how? Just take a peek in her lingerie drawer.
Most men, we suspect, fear a slap in the face on Christmas morning (or the last night of Chanukah!) when that hotsy-totsy French Maid get-up is unwrapped. Spare the pain and poke around in your lady's real world lingerie drawer while she's in the shower. (That doesn't make you a perv! It's research!) Does she favor itchy frills or cotton comfort? Bright colors like hot Pink and cantaloupe, or basic black and white? Matchy-matchy bra-and-panty sets or romantic slips? "The mistake men most commonly make is buying for themselves and not for their partners," Maria Walker, John Lewis' shopgirl says. "They buy something they would like to see their lady in and she wouldn't be seen dead in, usually something racy in red or black and lace." But you won't make that mistake, will you?
2. Have some idea of your lady's cup and bottom sizes.
We don't blame you if you don't know the difference between a C cup or a D cup, a 34 or a 36. We barely do, either. But when your giftee is in the shower and you snoop around in her lingerie drawer for shopping hint, make sure to note which size she wears. She might also own negligees or slips which come in sizes like "small," "medium" or "large," so make a note of that size, too. The Times of London says it's okay to politely point out a shopgirl's cup or bottom size if it helps clarify the body type of the lady for whom you are shopping.

Rick Patrick, pastor
During our recent DNow Weekend, there were FOUR professions of faith. During our Sunday morning worship service there were THREE re-dedications, TWO additions by transfer of letter, and ONE who surrendered to the gospel ministry.
by Johnathan Pritchett
"Why did God put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden," asks just about everyone. The answer, of course, is love. God is love. (1 John 4:8). Love is not just one attribute among others such as wrath, justice, holiness, etc. Nor does God change hats, taking off the love hat to put on the wrath hat, thus switching from attribute to attribute. God is infinitely perfect in all His attributes and thus also displays them as such. Love stands behind and backs up everything else. This is the same reason God put the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. Often forgotten is that there were two trees, not just the one.
Love stands behind the placement of both trees. Adam and Eve had a choice. To eat from every tree, including the Tree of Life, and live in harmonious union and relationship with God, one another, and creation. Or, they could be disobedient and eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
There are many common misunderstandings regarding the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Often people think that Adam and Eve lacked knowledge of any sort pertaining to both good and evil. This is a mistake, and reading Genesis 1 and other bits of Scripture help to clarify our thinking on these matters. God's creation was good (Gen. 1:4), good (Gen. 1:10), good (Gen. 1:12), good (Gen. 1:18), good (Gen. 1:21), good (Gen. 1:25), and very good (Gen. 1:31). Adam and Eve had knowledge of God, and God is good (Luke 18:19), and had a realization that they lived in harmony with the good creation that reflected the glory and attributes of God (Romans 1:20). It is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, not the 'Tree of Gaining an Understanding of Any Goodness Whatsoever.' Nor is it the 'Tree of Understanding the Difference Between Obedience and Disobedience.' Nor is it even the 'Tree of Knowledge (of Good and Evil).' We tend to look at it like that, i.e., 'The Tree of KNOWLEDGE...'
It is none of that. Adam and Eve had an understanding of obedience. They had knowledge of and an understanding of good. What they did not have was what the tree was, being the Tree of Knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL. That last bit of emphasis is the emphasis. It was acquiring knowledge of both. It is a kind of knowledge only God understands perfectly.
We all know the story. Eve was deceived by the serpent and ate from the Tree of Knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL. Adam ate as well, and their eyes were opened (Gen. 3:1-7). Opened to what? Knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL. Not only did the serpent acknowledge that this was knowledge like God had (Gen. 3:5), but God concurs with this (Gen. 3:22). Eve wanted the wisdom and to be like God in this regard. It looked so good. It was after Adam ate that the pair's eyes were open. After all, male and female is the image of God (Gen. 1:27). Satan's deception, blending truth with lies (i.e. abusing knowledge of good and evil) worked well against the dust-man and his wife.
After being caught by God and the blame game is played (Gen. 3:8-13), God delivers justice. Why does God discipline and punish with curses? Love (Proverbs 3:12, Hebrews 12:6, Revelation 3:19). Indeed, God kicked the couple out of the garden not just as punishment, but also as an act of love.
Read Genesis 3:21-24 and see the love: "The Lord God made clothing out of skins for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them. The Lord God said, 'Since man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil, he must not reach out, take from the tree of life, eat, and live forever.' So the Lord God sent him away from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. He drove man out and stationed the cherubim and the flaming, whirling sword east of the garden of Eden to guard the way to the tree of life" (HCSB).
See the love there? This makes perfect sense in light of the love found in what God told the serpent in Genesis 3:15. Read it: "I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel."
It was out of love that Adam and Eve were driven away from the Tree of Life after their disobedience. Why? Because the reigning powers of sin and death that Satan uses as tools bent on destruction entered the world when Adam sinned (Rom. 5:12, 14, 21). God had to act in love when the cosmos fell under the curse He subjected it to (Rom. 8:20) as a consequence of human rebellion. What good is it for the dusty image-bearers to exist in that fallen state in unending perpetuity? None. It is a state in which they (and we) are totally broken in their (and thus our) relationship with God, each other, and the rest of creation. A state in which they (and we) are armed with the knowledge of good and evil that they (and we) are totally unqualified to have and use rightly. From Satan and his demons in their deceptive work to the entire fallen human race, it has been the selfish, self-centered blundering of that knowledge of both good and evil that has been what perpetuates the reign of death and sin and the corruption of God's creation.
The key is to focus on the hints of God's love in Genesis 3:15, which is the love we find in John 3:16. A love, which was in view, even prior to creation (Rev. 13:8).
Without the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, there would be no choice in love, and thus no real love to return to God. It was God's choice to create after all. He did so in love. He also did so with the knowledge of human idolatry, rebellion, sin, and death to boot! Adam and Eve understood love, and understood love as a choice. They were not the cause of their own existence, but they found themselves to be created in a very good cosmos, in a garden of paradise, being in harmonious relationship with God. They knew God, and thus knew that God was love. So, for God to create was a choice since knowing God and His attributes also entail knowing that God is self-sufficient and self-satisfied. They knew He didn't need to create at all. They knew He chose to do so because He wanted to do so. It is a choice He made in love for His own good pleasure and purpose.
We must also remember that without the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, we image bearers would have also just remained dust-people. But, for those who will repent of sin and believe in Christ, they will be conformed to his heavenly image (Romans 8:29, 1 Corinthians 15:49), and God's future plan for those in Christ, planned even prior to "the beginning" (Genesis 1:1; Ephesians 1:3-14), is far greater than the dust we are now, and would have always been without the fall. Our wrong choices give way as means for God to receive glory and extend an even greater grace with a more glorious future. Christ was plan A, not merely a reactive solution to the fall.
We should praise God for both trees in the Garden and give Him all the glory. We should thank God for His wise eternal plan purposed in Christ before the foundation of the world. We should thank God for the choice He gave Adam and Eve and gives all of us. We should thank God for the love that stands behind the discipline and punishment of death that came from the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, so that the human race did not perpetually exist in such shame, curse, and brokenness. It is ultimately out of love that the wages of sin is death, just as it is out of love that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 6:23). So finally, we must echo the words found in Romans 7:24-25: "Who will rescue me from this body of death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

Repentance was a keynote in the preaching of both John the Baptist and Jesus. Their first message was: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matt. 3:2, Matt. 4:17).[1]
The first word was also the last word. It is not the Great Commission. For Jesus' word to Ephesus and Laodicea was for those churches to repent. The last word has become the lost word.[2]
Repentance should also be a continual message. The new preacher preached on repentance every sermon. The influential church members asked him, "When will you preach on another subject other than repentance? His response was, "When you repent!"[3] When will we repent of un-forgiveness, selfishness, bad attitudes, comments that hurt people, worldliness, half-hearted commitment, burying our candle under a bushel, and first and foremost, rejecting God's provision for our sins in Christ.
Repentance is a note that is strangely silent from the modern pulpit. Harry Ironside said, "Repentance is one of the missing links in preaching in the modern times."[4]
We don't hear it, but we like to refer to the apostle Paul as an example and he preached repentance.
In fact, the message he preached to the most sophisticated people in the world was on repentance. He called them to repent. He had slipped down to Athens after being in Thessalonica, having been run out of town.
Paul had a chance to tone down his message to the most educated people in the world at that time. Despite beginning with an approach appealing to their comprehension of who God is, Paul ends with repentance. Paul's message demonstrates what repentance really is.
Repentance involves turning. It involves turning from your sin to God. Billy Graham said, "Repentance is a signpost in your heart that God uses to get you to stop, look and listen."[5] To turn away from something means to forsake and not come back to a life you had without Christ. Paul, in this passage, tells what his audience needed to turn from and forsake.
(1) REPENTANCE IS Turning from Ignorance to the true god. vv. 16-30a
It was hundreds of years after Athens' golden age that Paul visited the city and preached the sermon recorded in Acts 17, but the city was still a strikingly beautiful city as well as the intellectual capital of the ancient world.
Paul was stirred up at the sight of so many idols in one of the most advanced cultures in the world. Many famous philosophers and great ideals in government have even to this day come from Athens. Yet, what Paul saw when he toured the great Athens were idols everywhere. He was stirred up because here were the Epicurean thinkers as well as free-livers who wanted to hear him as one more new ideal to put in their inbox as being a multicultural religious city.
They were tolerant of anything. It was good that they wanted to hear Paul. It was bad that they were so open-minded that their heads were flat. So they bring him to the place called Mars Hill for a free exchange of ideas.
Consider whom Paul is talking with when he talks about worshipping God ignorantly to the most intellectual men of his generation. These were the people who gave us most of our concepts of democracy, law, legal, and civic ideas. Yet, he says you ignorantly worship God because you don't know who He is.
Maybe they think Paul would commend them for being so open-minded, but instead they are shocked when he plows right into their ignorance and superstition. He tells them they are too superstitious as opposed to being certain about one thing. The evidence was the shrine they had built to the "unknown" god, in case they had left out someone. Paul now countered by saying: "You are worshipping Him in ignorance." This could be said for much of the world religions today. But as far as who this God is, Paul says, " I want to tell you who He is."
In Washington, D.C., resides the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is a tribute to all the unidentified soldiers killed in war. It is a symbol so that we should never forget those who gave the last full measure of devotion. This is a very important memorial.
Many view God in the same way as they do the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier -- as someone we know is there but we don't really know who He is. Such recognition is mere acknowledgment. Many would like to keep God at arm's length. Yet, they want to acknowledge Him from a distance without any personal interaction with Him. It is only in times of trouble that they then say, "God, remember me?" You can't avoid God!
This shrine in Athens was a bad thing and was evidence of the Athenians' ignorance and superstition. So Paul uses this and turns it into a good thing. This is exactly what we must do for those who ignorantly worship God, "We declare unto you Jesus Christ." Paul says, "You don't know anything about Him, but you've made a shrine to Him in case you missed Him. When you know Him, you can get rid of all these other shrines." So Paul stands and declares who Jesus is.
Then, Paul gets to the heart of their ignorance. He created everything and the creator God cannot be captured in an image. He is not someone you worship by saying He is in something man has created despite the temples you made for Him. He gives you breath and life to even make false gods. Genesis 2:7 says, "He breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul."
The inevitable question then is who is the real God? God declares that men should turn to Him and renounce and repent of the sin of ignorant worship as well as immorality and debauchery associated with it along with ungodliness.
Why should we turn to the true and living God? It is because He made the world and will judge everyone in it by the Son of God (John 5:22). No false God will be on the throne, but only He who conquered and confirmed through His bodily resurrection. He is Savior and Lord (Acts 2:23-24). God has revealed Himself to you. He is the unknown you do not know. He is Jesus who has been crucified, buried and rose again, living forevermore.
Repentance also means to conclude that something is wrong when you previously had no thought it was wrong and then to decide to reject the wrong and take steps to avoid it in the future and do the opposite—what is right.
Repentance is not necessarily emotional. It is primarily intellectual and volitional, leading to a change of mind which produces changed attitudes and demonstrated by changed actions.
Today, we don't worship shrines being ignorant of the truth of God, but there other things that show our ignorance of God.
For instance: It is ignorant to be occupied with this life where we live only a little while completely ignoring where we will live forever. It is ignorant to think your children will turn out better by not going to church than going to church and being involved in something positive, like Vacation Bible School or Sunday school. It is ignorant to think you will be happy long-range in this life while ignoring it's teachings instead of incorporating them into your life. It is ignorant to say, "God if you leave me alone, then I will leave you alone." So don't be ignorant, come to God and He will give you wisdom so you can turn away from ignorance.
(2) Repentance is Turning from Willful Disobedience to God v. 30b
Paul says you have been ignorant of who God is in the past but now He has revealed Himself in the person of Christ. To ignore Him and make Him one more god among many that has no intrinsic difference than any other god is willful disobedience.
I've been trying to figure out if it is ignorance or willful disobedience that causes people to have a bumper sticker that says " Co-Exist" with a picture of the Star of David, The Muslim Crescent and a Cross.
There are substitutes people use for repentance today that seem to be clever but are willful disobedience against God and His word. These are:
Misinterpretation: The thought that we just have to say we need to have a little faith for God to accept us where we are and help us. Jesus does meet you where you are. But you have to also come to Him. You don't say, "I'll stay in the pig-pen and let Jesus minister to me there." No, it was when the prodigal came to the father that the father ran to him.
Blame: We always seem to blame someone else for our sin. We have pitchfork religion. We take what we hear in a message and pitch it over our shoulder to someone else. A rancher in a small secluded church used to say to the preacher after his sermons, "Preacher; you really gave it to them today." One day, there was a hailstorm and the preacher just preached to the rancher, for he was the only one there. He wanted to see if he responded in his typical way as he said good-bye. The rancher said, "If they would have been here today, you would have really gave it them today."[6]
Denial: We say, "I'm not that bad a person" or "I've been in the church all of my life." We look on religion as unimportant and have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. People say, "If you want to believe that you can, but don't bother me." But they don't see how crucial it is to be right with God. All their unbelief and lack of interest will melt when they meet God in judgment.
When we think of sinners, it is easy to point to the murderers, rapists, thieves, drug dealers, child molesters, drunkards, and addicts. Yet we put ourselves in a different category of sinners. The Apostle Paul equalizes everyone as sinners though when he says in Romans 3:10-12,
"10As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away; they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. "
Dismissal: We just don't want to think about religion and God. The Athenians thought if we put up a shrine to Him if we get in trouble, maybe he will show favor on us. But for now, God is out-of-sight and out-of-mind. You can attempt your relationship with Him that way, but you are woefully wrong that you will be able to escape the judgment. You will have to answer to Him for your lack of relationship with Him. You will be found guilty because you ignored the only covering for your sin: The imputed righteousness of Christ (Phil 3:9).
Face what is what is holding you back from God and His forgiveness: It is willful disobedience. You think your life will be better off without God than with Him, and for this you are ignorant and disobedient.
Enough with the imposters and substitutes to repentance: what, then, is repentance?
First, we must reject what people have thought is involved in repentance. We must go beyond the substitutes.
It is not Penance: paying for your sins. This is similar to lying on a bed of nails to punish yourself. Indulgences will not forgive and release someone from Hell. Neither did kissing the steps of a church in Rome said to be the made up of the stones Jesus walked on to His crucifixion do anything for Luther to save His soul or forfeit a certain number of years in purgatory.[7]
It is not Remorse: This emotion is having regret over your sin without doing anything about it (James 4:17). Judas may be an example of this type of remorse for sin. Many a person stains their bed with tears in their life. The bank robber can have remorse and still rob a bank. Even a murderer can have remorse and still kill.
It is not Self-condemnation: Some like the pity of others so they are content to wallow in the mud of their sin. The Bible says we are already condemned because of our sin (John 3:18). We need to come to Jesus to remove that condemnation. Don't say you can't change. God doesn't want you to hate yourself, just your sin.
Repentance involves:
Conviction: God uses the Holy Spirit, like a woodpecker on a tree, to bring conviction to your heart (John 16:8). Billy Graham once said, "The trouble with most preaching today is that it aims at the wrong place. It is aimed at the head instead of the heart."[8]
Contrition: That is being sorry for your sin (II Cor. 7:10). We become aware of the holiness of God and the sinfulness of our heart.
Changing: We cannot go on the way we are living without God and His forgiveness. Repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of direction. You mind says, "I will come to Christ." You emotions say, "I will love Him." Your will says, "I will follow Him." It is getting out of the pigpen and not going back to it anymore. Our sin becomes so repugnant to us we totally forsake it. We come to the object of repentance: God. The hymn: The Way of the Cross expresses this thought when it says, "Then I bid farewell to the way of the world to walk in its way nevermore."[9]
(3)Turning from Judgment to His saving grace v. 31
They laughed at the resurrection, but some believed. Paul brought them back to what true religion is all about? He brought them to the true God. The biblical gospel begins and ends with God, whereas the contemporary gospel begins and ends with man. Thus, much of the contemporary message has moved away from the New Testament God-centered pattern and is tailored to appeal to our self-centered generation.
When Paul preached to the Gentiles in Lystra, he said, "We preach unto you that you should turn from these vanities unto the living God, who made heaven... earth... sea and all things that are in them" (Acts 14:15).
There were no exceptions to facing God's judgment against sin worthy of eternal punishment except for not repenting. We must not avoid repentance. We must be thankful for it and see it as God's great plan to escape His wrath against sin.
Jesus rejected people's questions about His perceived fairness by reminding them, "Except Ye Repent You will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3,5). We are in greater danger than being killed by a ruthless act or an accidental catastrophe. To die without repentance and face God in an unrepentant condition is your greatest danger. Find somebody else who needs to repent, justify your condition, when but God's call is loud and clear. He wants us to own our sin! We are in a desperate condition without repentance. We must face our sin and turn from it.
Repentance is going beyond the victim mentality we see and hear so much today. It seems like just about everyone today is a victim. No one wants to be responsible for their own actions.
So many can say they are victims of circumstance, of bad genes, of being raised in a bad environment, of discrimination, of racism, of slavery, of poverty.
The person who is repentant doesn't try to escape responsibility. He or she admits they fell short of the glory of God.
Two pictures tell us what repentance really is. One is what Mike McKinley describes in his book: Am I Really a Christian? He talks of being a big Reggie White fan when he was an Eagle, then he signed with the Green Bay Packers. As much as he liked Reggie White, he could not bring himself to root for the Packers because they were opposite of his home team and the one he played for: the Philadelphia Eagles. His love, thought, and time was spent with the Eagles, but if he had followed White alone he would now have a different team and his love, thought, and time would be spent on that team.[10] So when you come to Christ in repentance you trade teams. You give the devil back his uniform and you put on the armor of Christ. Whose team are you on today?
The final picture was of my brother Donald, who sucked a bottle way beyond the time he should. He wouldn't give it up. So my parents devised a plan. Donald hated the smell of Vicks VapoRub salve because my mother rubbed his chest with it when he was stuffy. So Daddy put a baby bottle cap and nipple on a jar of Vicks VapoRub. When Donald finally saw the new bottle, he recognized it as the Vicks salve and threw it down, determined not to suck his bottle anymore if it was going to taste like Vicks salve. He repented of his bottle sucking.
Repentance is turning to God from your sin and forsaking it forevermore. Have you repented today?

My intention here is to respond only to the salient questions or disagreements voiced in the comments. I will follow this with a brief conclusion.

Craig Ehlo Explains How Michael Jordan Hit 'The Shot' In His Face
It's mind-boggling how perfectly scripted Michael Jordan's career ended up. Take away those annoying years with Washington, and his legend as we know it sort of started with "The Shot" and then ended with "The Last Shot." Yes, most won't agree with me… and they'll say it began with the day he was disguised as God. But in terms of winning, and elevating his status to the best in the game, it began on a Sunday in 1989 when Jordan ended Cleveland and Craig Ehlo's season. Jordan was never the same. But neither was Ehlo. Read More »

BP PLC has brought on stream all new and reconfigured units in the modernization of its 413,000-b/d refinery at Whiting, Ind. The project included a 102,000-b/d coker that came online last month (OGJ Online, July 1, 2013).
A reconfigured 250,000-b/d crude unit, the largest of three at the refinery, started up in June. The modernization project also included a new 105,000-b/d gas oil hydrotreater and associated units.
The upgrades allow the refinery to process heavy, sour crude at more than 80% of its feedstock slate. Before the project, the low-quality crude could represent only about 20% of the refinery's feed.
Iain Conn, chief executive of BP's downstream segment, said the ability to process mainly heavy crude, including bitumen from Canada, will improve financial performance.
"The reconfigured refinery now has the flexibility to greatly increase heavy, sour crude processing, delivering an expected incremental $1 billion of operating cash flow/year, depending on market conditions," he said.

Many, many questions...
Is it bad that WYD isn't at the top of my event list?
- No honey, it is not.
How will all those kids receive Communion? There have to be liturgical police wringing their hands over that one, huh? Is it just about the worstest liturgical abuse ever? Those ginormous concelebrated Masses? The Conga-line style reception of communion? And, and, and ...
- I don't think so - is that bad?
A really old nun, 103 years, is leaving the convent to go see the pope - she hasn't left in 84 years - the poor nun said she would close her eyes all the way so as not to be distracted. Now that is edifying. If you were her, would you leave the monastery to go see the pope?
- I would not. I think he should go to see her.
At previous WYD's it can be said Blessed Pope John Paul II raised cane at the events.
- He did - he used to raise his cane in the air like he just don't care. Rockin'.
Michael Voris is holed up in a hotel for WYD.
- I know! That sounds sooooo creepy too.
Will the kids be wearing Abercrombie & Fitch fashions? Low rise jeans? And will A&F protest if they do? (They protested that Mike The Situation wears their stuff on Jersey Shore.)
- A&F doesn't care because MSM will not cover WYD. And the A&F protest against Snooky and the Shore is just another genius marketing strategy - nothing more.
One reader asked me, "If you hadn't just turned 30, would you have gone to WYD?"
- No.
Shut up grandma. (This post is for Andrew.)

Angel Dress
This all started with the movie Fellowship of the Ring. I fell in love with the costumes created for the movie,
especially for the Elves. When I decided that I wanted to dress as Arwen for Halloween, I went on the hunt.
What I discovered wasn't very encouraging. All the ready-made costumes available with this style dress were
only being made to fit up to a size 12 (US). There are no plus size ready-made costumes as of yet (as far as
I know: please email me if you know of them). I felt slighted, as usual that what I wanted simply wasn't
Then I reminded myself that I did know how to sew a little bit (or at least how to follow directions), and that
was a possibility for me (if not the ONLY possibility). I waited a few months to see if more options would
become available in ready made and nothing came. I began to panic. The feeling of being left out in the cold
only got worse when I discovered that the pattern being widely used this year (Simplicity 9891) for her
chase dress as well as an example of Gladdy's dress..didn't come in my size. I was devastated. I could not
buy a ready-made costume, and I couldn't even use the pattern without altering it..which is something I
didn't know how to do at that point. I felt lost.
I went to the fabric store even MORE determined to make this work for me. This is how I did it:
Materials used, patterns abused (LOL), and fabrics selected:
The years since I first made this costume for myself have given us way more information regarding fabrics
and the specific components of this costume. When I get a chance to, I am going to re-make the angel
dress for myself, and when I do- I will post all the information here. Basically wiping this page out and
replacing it with the new information..but any of the older information that still holds true or is relevant I will
keep on. In the mean time, if you would like to see images of recommended fabrics for making this gown,
such as Thai Silks' Crinkle Lurex Organza in color Ivory/Silver for the under dress. To see a photo of this
fabric click
. To see the fabric at the Thai Silks web site click
. To see a photo of the fabric sold
on eBay by the seller EXCLUSIVE-SILKS from India click
. To see them on eBay click
. Or to see a
great outer dress fabric sold by my local Hancock Fabrics click
. I do not know the
name of this fabric anymore, when I see it this fall I will come back and update this page with the info from
the bolt. It is about 45" wide and is a poly blend with metallic threads. It is very roll-uppish! It wants to roll
up on you, and so I use the SULLIVAN'S SPRAY FABRIC STABILIZER on it first. Click
to see where
you can get some. When the dress is finished I will have a "how to" section on making the beaded loop
trim, and making the neckline trim. If you would like to see my notes on the study of the neckline trim click
. Please bear with my obvious inexperience in sewing when this was written.
The first pattern I bought was Simplicity 9517 in size FF (18-24 US). I didn't realize what a big pain this
pattern would be, and if I could do it all over, I wouldn't go with this pattern. I have to mention it because I
did stick it out, and use it because I bought it, started with it. It isn't a pattern for a novice. If you know
allot about sewing or even a little more than me- by all means GO FOR IT, but between the princess seams,
facings, darts, etc. I almost gave up. I said out loud several times in the beginning, "I don't think I can do
this." But I kept on. I recognized in the style to the right hand side of the envelope marked with a red
arrow, that it could be made into the Angel Dress. I even drew a sketch on top of the pattern envelope
(sorry 'bout that =0) to get an idea. I didn't know it would be so complicated. I needed a "simple to sew"
pattern in deed.
I made the bodice and the skirt and attached them together. I originally thought I could use the overlay
within this pattern to make the outer dress. I soon realized that wouldn't work. The fabric I used on the
main dress section is 45 inch wide Crepe Back Satin in off white (Ivory).
I also didn't realize that working with such a slippery material would be tricky. When cutting out slippery
material, it is really helpful to lay down something under the material on your cutting surface to keep it from
moving. =0) I used Coats & Clark all-purpose thread in winter white.
When I became discouraged, I began to read more info that was available on the web sites, watching the
extended edition DVD , and reading my books. I found out about Simplicity pattern 9103. Low and behold,
it was in my size!! I bought it in size WW (18-24 US). What I had planned to do with it was to make an
over dress, and sleeves with it. I figured the pattern would be easier than the one I was working with if I
had to start over too. I didn't realize when I purchased it, that this pattern is only for stretch knits.
Meaning I couldn't use the crepe back satin, or the crinkly voile fabric I had just bought for the sleeves..
=0( You can only use stretchy material with this pattern. By pure luck had I bought 60 inch wide Silver
Metallic Nylon (stretchy knit). This is really light and sheer yet warm. I ended up making an outer dress with
the pattern Simplicity 9103. The sleeves for the under dress came from Simplicity 9517, because the sleeve
pattern piece in 9103 was made for stretchy knit and was too tight with the white voile fabric..Am I making
sense? LOL. Perhaps one day in the future I may add another layer of fabric between the outer dress and
under dress in the white voile fabric, so that it is closer to the original. Now that I have more experience, I
can always re-work the dress. If I had used the white voile fabric alone, you would be able to see right
through it! =0P...
I found another pattern that is also simple to sew (2 hr), and can be made from silk, and other
non-stretchy material. It is Simplicity 9295. You can see in style "A" that you could use it as a base dress,
as well as outer dress. It doesn't have the length you'd want or bell style sleeves, but at least it can be
used with other fabrics if that is what you want to do. You could alter the length and sleeves. I haven't
used it yet, but I bought it in size FF (18-24 US).
When I cut out the front pattern piece for the overdress, I cut it right up the middle to a point below the
bust. I highly recommend doing it while it is on the fold laying flat; it is really hard to cut a straight line up
the center. You can't go wrong when you do it on the fold. This was for the opening in the center of the
dress. The Extended edition DVD set reveals in the costume gallery, that this dress was designed with a
split all the way down the back, as well as all the way down the front. Like many of the other Elf costumes,
a flower petal shape, similar to the openings on the bottom side of "Chase Dress" or "coat" if you will. The
outer dress falls down to the floor and pools around the ankles in big circular waves. Rent, or buy yourself
the extended DVD set and check out the costume gallery photos!
Then I found McCall's P306. This pattern did not come in my size. It is only EE (14-20 US). Even so, it is a
great bargain (50% off $14.95 USD) because it gives you three different styles of dresses, plus a cloak
pattern! Nice. I wanted to use the sleeves in style "C"..for the outer dress sleeves. They have that nice
break all the way up, so I figured I would just stitch them to the elbow and leave it open after that. (If you
want to get the look even closer to the original, have the splits, or breaks in the sleeves on the "outside" of
the arm, rather than on the inside like mine. Have the tops overlap in a petal shape. Instead of having the
break stop at a "V" shaped point, have the top of the sleeve slightly overlap the other side, this creates the
break, and may be very hard to duplicate if you are not an advanced seamstress)
The last items I bought were the trim pieces. I bought 1 yrd. of bridal trim that had a nice rose motif and
some iridescent sequins and pearls. I was thinking about soaking it in some sort of dye to make it more
silvery gray to blend into the dress more, similar to the all over silvery gray as the original shows. But I
have come to like the contrast of the white over the silvery gray. It just stands out better. I used the
machine to attach it, although I did break a needle, so I recommend hand stitching it instead.
I also found this thin trim with loops in the bridal section that looks similar to the trim on the sleeves,
opening in the front of the dress and neckline. I bought about 5 yards of this. (See my image for examples
of my fabric).
I think back on this project now that I have more experience, and see where I made it harder than it had to
be on myself in spots and over-all. But without this time and experience behind me, I wouldn't be able to
know a faster way. So if you have more experience than I do and know an easier way to the end goal, by all
means- go for it!
My "Angel Dress"! It's done!
All in all, it took me 2 weeks and three days (working on average 2 hours per session). That's about 42
hours. I think it's pretty good, and considering I knew so little about what I was getting into when I started.
I spent about $100.00 USD. This includes mistakes- so I might have spent less if I had more experience. I
don't regret it at all. I am glad I am done. I am sure you could make this for less, if you have more
experience and or use different or "on sale" fabrics. The 1 yrd. of bridal trim with sequins was $8.99 USD
per yard alone! This cost total does NOT include all the money I had to spend on basic necessities that I did
not have. I didn't even have dressmaker's shears.
I have found more patterns available lately that could be manipulated into the Angel Dress..check these
patterns out too when shopping for yours:
McCall's 3372 *Only up to size 20*
Simplicity 5767
There is a new pattern out from McCall's this year. Check out McCall's 3797. This only comes up to size 20,
but it has what looks like an attempt at three of her costumes. The one on the left could be made into the
"Arch Dress", the one in the middle could be made into the "Chase Dress" just by using my technique on
the sleeves (see my chase dress page for that)..and the one on the right could be made into the "Angel
Dress". Totally possible, ANYTHING is possible if you can imagine it and work at it. =0)

About 15 years ago I bought a very ordinary but fairly thick/heavy $5 non-stick generic sauce pan and even when the handle broke, it's been a great utensil until about the last year. Someone has put a couple little scratches in the bottom and they've started to expand. Now eggs and other food are starting to stick a bit.
So I went looking for a similar replacement and could find nothing and even at WM, they're SO EXPENSIVE, like nothing under $25, and not what I want anyway, even if they were free. What I settled for is a pan that looks and feels very different but the label said "non stick" so I got it. (Not at WM, so don't blame them, although that's always fun.) Ugh! I might as well be trying to fry eggs on glassware. I had to scrub so hard (but with only a nylon plastic scrubber) the very first time, it's already damaged. I think it's just painted black, and I don't want to use this dumb thing anymore at all. All I have ever had to do with real non-stick pans is hit them with hot water from the sprinkler thing at the sink, everything comes right off. What is going on? Where did all the real non-stick pans go? At this point, I would gladly pay much more for one but just can't find any. Has this type of item moved only to specialty stores? I'm not much of a shopper and not many places to shop around here anyway. I guess it would be OK to go in a mall next time I'm in a city if I knew I could find a good pan. Thanks for your input! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Costco. but they are in packs of two for about $20. Count the uptick in price to general inflation. |

Though not "cheap"... not really high-end either... I recommend Calphalon. BB&B usually has a set of 2 skillets for under $50. Before you say... TOO much $$... consider they're return/replace policy. Had heard they were GREAT on replacing things so took them up on that offer about 3-4 months ago. My 2 skillets (possibly 10+ years old) and favorite sauce pan (efinitely older and part of a set) were starting to be a little non-non-stick. I never used metal tools iin them and rarely ran them thru dishwasher.Packed up the 2 skillets and sauce pan and sent them back... cost a few $ for shipping. About a week and a half later got BRAND NEW replacements. Skillets were exact replacements. Sauce pan a little different... imagine original no longer made. |

Thanks for the inputs!! It occurred to me to look on the bottom (duh!) It says Mirro. I'm thinking it probably cake from K-mart. I went to their website but unfortunately they now make the stuff I saw at WM (Wearever) which isn't the same kind non-stick pan I have and want to replace. I do have a big Calphalon pan but even when new, it was never non-stick, just resistant. Never been in a Costco or BB'n'B but will check to see if these chains have a location in Destin. We're going down for the day Wednesday. I think I should have said "common" in the title above. Cost really isn't an issue at this point. I just need another good, truly non-stick pan. |
Cost should be an issue. Because non-stick pans will wear out, you don't want to invest money in them. My Costco pans are from Tramontina, which is also sold at WalMart. Check Target and K-Mart as well. |
I imagine the kind of pan you were looking for was the old teflon--where have they gone? Teflon is such a horribly dangerous carcinogen that it's been outlawed, FINALLY (after Dupont and the government working hard for decades to keep the public in the dark about just how extremely dangerous the stuff is). You can still get cheap non-stick pans--cast iron. For 10-20 dollars, you'll have a pan that, properly seasoned and maintained, will far surpass the non-stick properties of any chemically applied non-stick surface, AND that will last you the rest of your natural life, and which will be handed down to your grandchildren. Truly, if you have a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, nothing compares. AND it's safe for your family--actually healthy for them because it imparts needed iron into the food you cook (rather than seasoning it with a known carcinogen). |

Agree with azzalea about cast iron. Have my Grams' CI and a few newer ones. Wouldn't give those up for anything. But if you do want a non-stick pan. Forget Teflon coated. They are going by the wayside. Bad non-stick qualities and bad for you. Ceramic non-sticks are extremely good pans. Not the ones you see on infomercials(Orgreenics or something like that). Real good quality ceramics. The original "GreenPan" is great. Have had mine for a year now. Nothing sticks, easy clean up and it goes from stove top to oven. |
You'll have to spend more for a good pan these days. Teflon is dangerous and it's going off the market. I just got a ceramic skillet at BB&B (used a 20% off coupon) and like it a lot. And, the cost of just about everything has gone up over the years, so a new pan would cost you more these days, even if you cold find Teflon. |
- Posted by purpleinopp (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 7:40
Thanks for the responses. I wish there had been more publicity about this. I would have stocked up sooner. Hard to believe there's no technology to make something equally inexpensive that works as well. I'm sure y'all are right about cast iron. Just not interested, too heavy and greasy. And, the cost of just about everything has gone up over the years, so a new pan would cost you more these days, even if you cold find Teflon. Well of course! But one wouldn't expect a jump from $5 to $25 in 15 years! |
you might also consider carbon steel pans. They come from the factory a lot slicker than modern cast iron (more like the old Griswold or Wagner cast iron), and they're about half the heft of cast iron. I'm in the process of evaluating some carbon steel pans by deBuyer and Paderno. So far, I like them both; the shape of the Paderno is a little shallower but the pan is heftier; the deBuyer is lighter but deeper. Both are built to last and will outlast me, for sure, and the seasoning is approaching nonstick status. Yeah, you can't put them in the dishwasher, but they sear great and there's no worry about any problems with a nonstick coating wearing off into your food. |
Here is a link that might be useful: paderno
They're not as cheap as before, but I had good luck finding non-stick skillets at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. I have induction, and that makes it even more difficult, but those two stores get in various European brands I've never heard of with ceramic-type non-stick. The ones I got last year are Italian, and I love them. They have different ones all the time. There are a whole bunch of Valerie Bertinelli non-stick skillets and griddles in both stores right now. |
I recently purchased a Valerie Bertinelli non-stick frying pan for around $12.00 from marshall's. It was a great pan for the price, however, after using it several times, I found that the handle gets extremely hot. So hot that you have to use a hot pad to touch it. It's one of those plastic handles that shouldn't conduct heat, but it does. I wouldn't recommend Bertinelli line for that reason :( |
