Great cast iron grill pan with press added to complete the package. The expense to ship this pan was reason enough to give it a try.... but the pan does not disappoint. Great product, great price.Read More
lab lover
I needed a new grill pan and this one is a winner. It gives great grill marks with even heat. Handle gets hot, as does the whole pan, but that's why it heats so evenly. Cast iron can be a challenge to clean but it's worth it. I also own a cast iron 10 inch pan that I love.Read More
Very Heavy duty
This pan weighs about 15 pounds and is cast Iron. Special care must be given to cast iron cookware ie...is not dishwasher safe, do not use detergent on this and keep it oiled "seasoned" as it will rust. Over all this is a good product that will last for many years. Shipping was prompt.Read More

If you season it yourself, it's really great
This is a great grill. It gets very hot and heats evenly. Even though it comes pre-seasoned, it works better if you season it yourself. Do not, however, season the grill press unless you do it without the handle attached. (The handle is rubberized and cannot be baked.)Read More
cast iron grill
Good product when you want to grill food to get grill lines. Some food sticks.Read More
Super quality. I use it to get those awesome grill lines on everything. It heats quickly, evenly...everywhere. It's heavy and durable. It does need require routine maintenance oiling at first, but after some good use it gets well seasoned. If it gets over cleaned or heated just re-season and good to go.Read More
Questions & Answers
This grill pan is not pre-seasoned. Canola oil is like the best oil to use for seasoning.
All American made Lodge cookware is preseasoned. You can look it up on Lodge.com or lodge cookware.com their site is very informative.
Can this be used on a glass top stove? Is the bottom surface suitable?

Lodge cast iron cookware can be used on all kinds of cooking surfaces, except microwave ovens.

Outdoor Cooking Equipment Checklist for Hiking
Every pound counts when you are on a hiking trip, so you'll want outdoor cooking equipment that won't slow you down. When you go hiking, not all outdoor cooking equipment or outdoor grills will do the job. Although perfect for other camping situations, most outdoor gas grills won't work for hiking, and a dutch oven is completely out of the question for a backpacking trip.

Here are a few items you shouldn't forget on your next backpacking trip.

Stuffed vegetables are a central part of the Jewish culinary canon, but growing up I thought they were limited to cabbage and peppers. Only when I moved to Israel did I come to appreciate the sheer multitude of vegetables that can be stuffed — peppers and cabbage yes, but also tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, eggplant, onions, and more. Of all of them it was the stuffed onions that were a true revelation, those delicate, tear-inducing layers wrapped around sweet and savory mixtures of meat and stewed until rich and tender.
They make the perfect dish for Sukkot either as a side or centerpiece. While there are no foods specific to the fall harvest holiday, stuffed items — in the form of kreplach, stuffed vegetables, fruit-filled pastries, and whatever else you might imagine — have become the standard. Some believe that stuffed foods represent the bounty that comes with a good harvest. Others say that stuffed foods are akin to being wrapped in a Sukkah. On a practical level, stuffed vegetables can also be made ahead, are good hot or room temperature, and can be easily transported to the Sukkah. Whatever the reason, it's a delicious custom.

Yehuda Goldberg, owner and chef at Sepha Catering in Toronto is offering his clients something unusual.
As far as Goldberg knows, he is the only kosher caterer in the city — and perhaps anywhere — using the French cooking method sous vide. The technique, which means "under vacuum" in French, calls for food to be sealed in an airtight plastic bag and immersed in a bath of low temperature water for extended periods of time resulting in extremely moist and flavorful dishes.
The technique is part of the school of molecular gastronomy, which uses modern technology and science to manipulate food. Avant-garde chefs like Grant Achatz and Ferran Adria have used carbon dioxide to create bubbles or foam, liquid nitrogen for flash freezing and shattering and ultrasound waves to control cooking times. Until now, molecular gastronomy was virtually unheard of in the kosher community, but Goldberg, who hails from a large Lubavitcher family and trained in Europe, hopes to change that.
We chatted with him about ultra-moist gefilte fish, a 27-hour brisket, and what sous vide chefs call "the danger zone."
If you're Jewish, and into food, and not outraged, then you're not paying attention.
Americans like to think of ourselves as a generous people, and we are – even though special interests transform much of our international food aid programs into a wasteful boondoggle that undermines the abilities of communities and countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to feed themselves. And that's what's happening now. Food aid is critical and important, but for it to work, it needs to work right, and right now, not enough of it is.
Here's why: if children are starving in part of Ethiopia, it makes sense for US aid dollars to buy food from farmers close by in other parts of Ethiopia or neighboring countries. Buying locally develops and sustains local agriculture, and gets the food to those in need quickly. But instead current US law requires virtually all food aid to be bought from heavily subsidized US agribusinesses and shipped overseas. That means that more than half of every food aid grain dollar is wasted in subsidizing large companies and shipping costs and takes up to 14 weeks longer to reach hungry people than buying food locally. And it's even worse than that, because sending free or subsidized US grain to developing countries such as Haiti can undermine local agriculture in the long-term, making future famines more likely, as communities are no longer able to feed themselves in the face of future shocks such as drought. Communities in which I have worked as a volunteer with American Jewish World Service are now far more vulnerable to hunger are a result of of subsidized US food dumped into their countries.
For the most part, Jews celebrate good things with lots of food. Holidays like Rosh Hashanah and Passover bring to mind full bellies and bubbie's matzo ball soup, perhaps even more than the feelings of repentance and liberation they are supposed to invoke. On the other hand, to commemorate sad events, we fast. The temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av, and an assassination marked the end of Jewish autonomy in Jerusalem (Tzom Gedaliah) and on these days, we refrain from eating to better concentrate on the solemnness of the day.
But Yom Kippur, the holiest of the Jewish holidays, breaks the mold: On Yom Kippur we're supposed to not eat and be happy about it. The haftarah traditionally read on Yom Kippur makes this explicitly clear. Referring to the ancient Jews wearing sackcloth and ashes, the prophet Isaiah says in the name of God, "Do you call that a fast?" I imagine the end of the sentence must have gone "I'll show YOU a fast!" as white linen-clad Isaiah dances an over-the-top dance to demonstrate his glee in front of a roomful of Jews in sackcloth and misery.
After a day of atoning and fasting, the last thing any of us want to do is walk into our kitchen, fire up the stove and start cooking a meal that won't be ready for a few hours. The key to preparing a lovely and delicious break fast, whether it's for your family or a large group, is to cook dishes that store well and to reheat or finish them at the last moment. We've outlined a complete meal here. If you have family traditions for break fast, consider incorporating a dish or two from this menu to try something new.
While baking challah in advance isn't the ideal situation, these two recipes call for apples or apple cider, which gives the challah a bit of extra moisture to help it stay fresh a day after it's baked.
After a long day of prayers and atonement, the Yom Kippur fast ends at sunset and Jews gather to Break Fast and break bread.
Many people want to go home after synagogue services, putting together a traditional dinner, while some prefer to let a restaurant be the host, relax and be pampered like the chosen people. Here are a few suggestions should you want to let someone else do the cooking.
No need to make a reservation at Miriam's, a Mediterranean-Jewish restaurant in Brooklyn. Eat at the wooden bar or grab a coveted place at the tall, communal table in the front window of this popular Park Slope spot. Families and couples can spread out at one of the cozy dining room tables. The long, colorful haunt is strewn with Moroccan lights and atmospheric candles. On Miriam's menu for Break Fast: roasted, boneless free-range chicken with Israeli couscous, roasted butternut squash and pumpkin seeds. Grass-fed, braised short ribs with traditional kugel is another holiday entree. Those preferring lighter fare can sup on chicken noodle soup served with kreplach.
79 Fifth Ave., Brooklyn, will be open until 10:30 Wednesday, 718-622-2250.
With the days of Yamim Noraim almost at their beginning not only have my thoughts turned to the dishes I want to make for all the glorious holiday meals that are coming up, but also to the fast of Yom Kippur that will end this time of introspection and atonement.
Fasting is a ritual that is not only central within Jewish tradition but stretches across other religious traditions. Muslims practice the month long fast of Ramadan, while adherents of various Christian denominations, such as Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodox Church, fast during the period of Lent. The Baha'I religion has a feast similar to Ramadan and the first Sunday of each month is a fast day for Mormons.
These periods of fasting offer us the opportunity for intense spiritual connectedness and spiritual nourishment. Yet there is no doubt that by the end of the fast people's thoughts are begin to turn towards the long awaited break-fast meal.
On Wednesday, Lansky's Traditional Jewish Deli on New York's Upper West Side was closed after equipment was broken, money was stolen from the register and walls were vandalized.
The West Side Rag reported that owner David Ruggerio said someone broke in on late Tuesday and wrote "ugly" and "offensive" words on the walls.
The New York Post reported detectives are looking at the possibility that it was an inside job. Ruggerio claimed that two weeks earlier, a dishwasher and an accomplice broke into the deli and cooked themselves meals. After both incidents, Ruggerio said he saw a message left behind, "'NOPOLR,'" with capital A's in the two O's and the word "California" beneath.
The Post also reported that in 1999, Ruggerio pled guilty to adding $100,000 in tips to credit card bills.
Ruggerio hopes to re-open Friday evening.
It's boy (and girl) meets (kosher) grill on Sunday at Fairway Market's First Annual Manhattan Kosher Grilling Challenge.
Three amateur chefs (who were chosen from more than 100 grilling fans) will show off their barbecue chops for a chance to win some serious bragging rights as "best kosher griller" at the challenge, part of the 92nd Street Y's annual street fair.
Jarod Lojeck of Stamford, Connecticut will compete with Dov's Stuffed Burger, two quarter-pound patties stuffed with sautéed onions and Russian dressing. The recipe was modeled after a similar cheese-filled burger he saw made on a cooking show. "The Russian dressing gives it that creamy taste that you might get with cheese," he said.

During the hot summer months my mother had a few standard Shabbat-lunch salads. There was a Carrot Pineapple salad made with crunchy sweet carrots cut into matchsticks and mixed together with a syrupy can of crushed pineapple. Also in her repertoire; a leafy green salad with chopped chicken and a dressing that I swear tasted like lemonade. Looking back on it I can't blame her for her haphazard combinations, she just wanted to get back to her beloved rest-day ritual of devouring a good book or two.
Like Mom, I recognize the merits of a thrown together Shabbat salad. For me it is a celebration of non- cooking, an opportunity for creative re-assigning, and an invitation to experiment. This summer of Saturday Salads began with a Southwestern Chicken Tortilla Salad, which featured leftover cornmeal crusted chicken strips on a bed of shredded lettuce, a scattering of minced chili peppers, cubed avocado and diced tomato and topped off with crushed tortilla chips. It was flavorful and full of texture, but not so impressive on the "lite 'n healthy" scale.
Growing up I was spoiled. My grandfather was a baker and he always had fresh out of the oven cookies for us. His rainbow cookies were my favorite.
After coming over from Germany, he began his career creating confections for the US Army during World War II, and moved on to own a bakery in the heart of Queens. My grandmother ran the books and decorated the windows, while my mother and her sister learned basic arithmetic working the register, and got into sisterly spats ending with throwing a pie across the room.
Now, years later, I'm attempting to recreate some of his delicious recipes with just his note cards to guide me — and a little help from my mom.
What might seem like a step by step process is actually a gigantic undertaking as it is no easy task to convert his notes into something you might find in a cookbook. His recipe cards are essentially just a list of ingredients on a piece of paper. Like any consumer based kitchen, his measurements are 17 times larger than what I can make in my mixer, contain loads of fat (even lard!) and often ingredients that are much harder to keep at home (like a starter). I decided to tackle one of the easier recipes and attempt to recreate his rugelach.
Which is the best slivovitz in the land? Slivophiles across America will have to wait until October 13 to find out the official results of the International Slivovitz Drinkers Association, which will hold this year's U.S. Slivovitz Festival at the Northeastern Hotel on Dunlap Island, Minnesota. But a few enterprising slivofans got the party started early, with simultaneous celebrations on September 8 at a residential home in Queens, New York and at Lambert's Seafood Restaurant and Sports Bar in Glenn Dale, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C.
(For more info on the Eastern European plum brandy, see my previous articles for the Forward here and here.)
Gian Cossa, organizer of the Washington festival, reported that of the slivovitzes sampled the favorites were Clear Creek, from the Clear Creek distillery in Oregon, and the Jelinek 10-year, a classic slivovitz from the Czech Republic. According to Cossa, the festival was one of the liveliest to date with an attendance of approximately 60 to 75 people throughout the day, and visitors coming from as far away as Pittsburgh and South Virginia.
As food editor for the Associated Press, it's no surprise that J.M. Hirsch spends his days writing about food. But he's become known on the Internet for an interesting twist on his day job: lunch blogger. Hirsch began his popular "Lunch Box Blues" website about the seemingly straightforward task that parents know is anything but simple: packing his eight-year-old son Parker's lunch every day. On the blog, he chronicles everything — from the vegetable victories to the lonesome leftovers —five days a week. The Jew and the Carrot spoke with Hirsch by phone about all things lunch: prepping, packing, and the perils of PB&J.
What inspired you to start a blog?
I wish that the blog was my brilliant idea, but it wasn't. I was having lunch with someone one day, and we were comparing notes about our kids' lunches, and she looked at me, and she said "You have got to start a blog about your son's lunch." And I said, "You're crazy. Nobody cares that much about my son's lunch." So I ignored her, and a couple months later…I said "fine. I'll do it, but I'm not gonna like it." So I got a template for a blog, the most minimalist template I could find online, and I said "All I'm gonna do is take a picture of his lunch every day and write a description of what he's eating."
Whether or not they realize it, today's Jewish food lovers, particularly the kosher-keeping ones, owe a debt of thanks to Helen Nash. Born in 1935 in Krakow, Poland, to a prominent Orthodox family, Nash, a longtime member of Manhattan's Upper East Side society (she learned to cook as a newlywed, by taking lessons with culinary legends like Marcella Hazan), was an early champion of the notion that kosher food could be sophisticated and elegant rather than oppressively heavy. With restaurants like Pardes in Brooklyn and Jezebel in Manhattan making headlines today, the idea of artisanal kosher food seems almost obvious. But when Nash published "Kosher Cuisine," those words were still an oxymoron.
Nash, now 77, recently published her newest book, "Helen Nash's New Kosher Cuisine: Healthy, Simple & Stylish" — a cookbook that builds on her lifelong good taste while focusing on dishes that are simple and accessible for novice and studied cooks alike. Nash spoke with the Forward's Leah Koenig about the impact of the Internet on the kosher food world, her secret to making perfectly moist chopped liver (hint: It's not more oil) and why, at its heart, all kosher cooking is about family.
Chef Noah Goldberg returned to his native Toronto last January after working several years in New York for culinary legends Susur Lee and Daniel Boulud, and in London for Anthony Demetre and Fergus Henderson, wanting to create something unique. He envisioned a restaurant where patrons would eat not only whole meals, but also whole animals.
So, in May, Goldberg opened The Feasting Room, an experimental pop-up restaurant in a music bar in downtown Toronto. The restaurant is offering a blind six-course tasting menu dinner five evenings a week for six months, with the menu each week focusing on a different animal. Although diners know what animal they will be eating, they have no idea what dishes will be served. Upon being seated, they get a card with a drawing of the animal, with numbers on it corresponding to the part of the animal being used in each course. Nothing goes to waste, with Goldberg and his team devising dishes that use everything from nose to tail. So far, they have done this for rabbit, goose, lamb, pig, chicken, cow, duck, turkey and buffalo. Now that the fall is here, game will be coming soon.
The smell of savory challahs permeates the kitchen with sweet hints of cinnamon and raisin. We knead, stretch, sweat and grunt as we shape the dough with our fingers into elaborate braids, rolls and twists. Our hands have been inherited from a long line of women empowered by a sacred undertaking: the making of challah.
This year, I will hold a challah workshop in my home the day before Yom Kippur where female friends will gather in my kitchen to celebrate Jewish woman hood and the magic of femininity. We will take turns kneading the dough as each one of us, immersed into a state of harmony and spirituality shares prayers of healing, comfort, finding love, looking for a job and other requests.
Have you ever had red honey? Neither have we, but according to Robin Shulman, scarlet-hued honey (and orange blossom honey, Hawaiian honey, etc) are all variations of the Rosh Hashanah staple.
Robin Shulman is the author of the newly released book "Eat the City: A Tale of the Fishers, Foragers, Butchers, Farmers, Poultry Minders, Sugar Refiners, Cane Cutters, Beekeepers, Winemakers, and Brewers Who Built New York." The informative and interesting tome takes a look at the history and production of the seven different foods in New York and how they changed life of neighborhoods and the city. The chapter on honey, is one of our favorites.
We caught up with Shulman to get her opinion on the creme de la creme of honeys in hopes of upping our game for the holidays and ended up with a ton of insight into beekeeping and policy, the "infinite" types of honey and a look at what honey would have been like 100 years ago when our ancestors were munching penny candies from the corner store.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CM25 Great Hotel, Great Property This has been one of my favorite hotels so far, and my first time in a Le Meridien. The location of this property can't be beat for a tourist trip to Barcelona. Close to transportation, right on La Rambla. We were upgraded to a suite facing La Rambla which was always interesting to watch all the people and enjoy the views. For those who speak English, the employees of this hotel are beyond fluent. My only complaint was the bed wasn't overly comfortable. March 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by svener22 Sleep Comfort A very high priced hotel to pay for in-adquate sleep comfort. The bed was so close to the floor I felt I was sleeping on the floor. It appears all the rooms are all the same as they do not incorporate a box spring in any of their beds. For anyone that is disabled it is very difficult to get out of bed. I personally went 3 days without sleep. I believe on the 3rd day a sheet of plywood was put under my mattress to stiffen it. Can you imagine! July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dallas62 This hotel is a great location in Barcelona We loved the location, the actual property and the great staff. Every restaurant we enjoyed, recommended by the hotel staff, was excellent! I enjoyed the great hotel fitness club open 24/7and the staff even found a spinning class for me at a nearby gym (Holmes Gym). I would highly recommend this hotel. The only compllaint was 2 separate plumbing issues (shower and sink) that required maintenace. However, the staff was prompt to repair and respond. November 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mery This hotel has an excelent location This Hotel offers you a very warm welcome , it makes you feel at home. The rooms are very quiet , althought the located area is quite busy. It is in the middle of the city , walking you can se the nice areas of Barrio Gotico, Arrabal, Shopping area , Paseo de Gracia. And there is a nice walk to the Port. Breakfast : good food and nice place. And the attention is really friendly and efficient. I have been there twice and it is highly recomended. December 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Steve26 Hotel is well situated for the shopping and tourist area Hotel staff, service and location all make for a potentially excellent choice however, from my past few stays there have been issues with items in the room not working such as shower, aircon and TV. The latest being the windows not shutting properly allowing the noise from La Ramblas to keep me awake until the early hours each night. Oh and the TV broke again! The hotel is let down by poor maintenance and that's in need of a serious overhaul. August 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ojaibilly Staff is incredible From the moment we walked through the door we were struck by the attention of the staff. From the upgrade Laura gave us to check in to the speed with which routine results like ice or pillows were handled was impressive. The buffet is excellent and the restaurant and bar staff were also way above. This was my. 20 th check in this year to a Starwood property-- probably the best. As a Platinum I felt completely taken care of. Great hotel! May 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MM65 This hotel is in a great location. We stayed at this hotel on three occasions during this trip for a total stay of 8 nights. The staff at the reception desk was very friendly. The staff at the concierge service were very helpful in guiding us and planning tours for us. The restaurant staff always started our day with a pleasant greeting and splendid service. The hotel is in a central location and easy access to transportation. One could spend hours strolling in Le Rambla. April 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nancysk Hotel service is excellent The service at Le Meridien is excellent. We arrived early and were offered a very nice room, but it had twin beds. Our luggage was stored for an hour or so while they found another room for us. Unfortunately, I got very sick and we had to cut our trip very short. While I was in the ER at Hospital del Mar, Paul returned to the hotel and received excellent service and help from the concierge. We think her name is Lorena (blond and with tortoise glasses. We particularly want to praise her. We did leave early and asked for our SPG points to be returned, We had booked five nights and left after three. 12,000 points were returned immediately to our account. We had hoped that 2 nights' points would be returned. All in all, if we returned to Barcelona we would stay at Le Meridien and will recommend it to any friends planning to stay in Barcelona. Thank you, October 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by George45 The location is fantastic. Restaurant is very good. The only down sides were that we had to call for ice each day (but were served Promptly by gracious hosts), The business center computers and printer was slow, and the hot tub was not hot. However the sauna and steam room were very hot. EXCELLENT check-in service, baggage handling, information of events and sights near by, Excellent restaurant, VERY FRIENDLY staff - even the trainee went out of his way to provide assistance and info. May 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by THS09 Brilliant Location Stayed in the Junior suite for 5 nights, was very pleased with the cleanliness of the room, especially the bathroom. The furnishing is really not to our taste (a bit too modern) but it makes up in comfort & cleanliness. WiFi (slow speed) was available in the room which was adequate to retrieve e-mails & surfing the net. High speed was of course available at a price.There were adequate power points with i-phone/-ipad chargers available. In addition there was complimentary coffee and a few bottles of water everyday. For long stay travellers there is an ironing board & iron available. The location is fantastic being right in the middle of the Ramblas area, very accessible to shopping areas and tourist areas as well. In overall we were very happy with our stay. The only negative comment is that some of the staff were "unsmiling" but they were still helpful. October 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by gary24 This hotel is central The hotel is very central & convenient, but unfortunately we had a run of bad luck there and the staff/manager was helpful but not overly. It started with a noisy room, so we changed for the 2nd night and then we were kept awake by a party in the room above us from 3am till 5am! Even though we rang/complained to reception 3 times, it took 2 hours to quieten the party down, therefore we didn't get any sleep and spoilkt the following/main day there as were v tired. We then came back that afternoon to find the room hadn't been cleaned, no freash towels and we had to ask for milk and coffee. it went from bad to worse in what should have been a special weekend. It was my girlfriends birthday and the hotel didn't go out of its way to ensure we had a special time. I was very disappointed as ive stayed at the le Meridean in 2 other countries and had no problems. December 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pakelekia Excellent location This was our second stay. We selected it again because it is a Starwood hotel and has the best location in Barcelona! This time we got a quieter, higher location overlooking a side street instead of the Ramblas which helped us sleep better. Staff were very polite and helpful, especially at the coffee bistro, the bar and in Cent Onze. Beds are a bit low to the ground, though, which makes it a bit more difficult for older guests. May 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by OldNuke Nice place, needs some work Hotel is nice and location works well for walking La Ramblas, but the reading lights are worn out...used a wine bottle to prop mine up...but didn't have a wine bottle for wife's light. Music machine would not work, nor did the next three the staff brought up...the machine would not work with their devices either. Staff tried hard to make things right but the equipment they are given is not on parr with the cost of the room. December 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by TrevWill1997 Perfect Birthday City-Break Hotel The reception, bar and restaurant staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room (Deluxe) was clean, spacious and had everything we required. Our room overlooked the side of the hotel and had a good view so this meant it was not as noisy as a room would have been facing La Rambla. The breakfast was excellent and had a wide variety of food and drinks available. I would use this hotel again if I returned to Barcelona. February 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by andy252 Front desk woman rude, rescued by manager We arrived in Barcelona on an early flight from JFK. I had called the Platinum Concierge desk informing them of this and that I'd like to request an early check-in. All was well till we arrived tired, dirty and told by the very rude girl at the desk that early check-in was only a request and not guaranteed. Yes, of course, I knew that, but that gave her NO permission to be rude and condescending to us. I gave her my credit card and she flatly said, "I don't need that now - we are full and I cannot give you a room." I knew they were not " full" as the Platinum desk said that property was around 80% occupancy that night, and I also checked upon landing, and there were plenty of rooms available for the previous night - empty rooms. About the time I was ready to strangle a front desk worker, in walks Salvador Batlle, a manager of the hotel. He clearly overheard from the back what was transpiring at the front desk. He immediately stepped forward and took over what was turning into an ugly situation. In less than three minutes, he took my credit card, checked us in and had given us the Platinum upgrade to a wonderful room. So, I thank you, Mr. Batlle; you saved the day, and please release the rude, rude girl on whom you intervened. Everything was perfect after that almost lost check-in Room was great, service was perfect and location could not have been better. I personally gave Mr. Batlle a thank you note upon leaving. I look forward to staying here next January, and would not even consider another SPG property in Barcelona. November 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dano888 What a great hotel Barcelona is a great city, and the Le Meridien is a great hotel. The location, the staff, the food, and especially the concierge desk. Bruno and Christian could not have been more helpful in making reservations and providing important information for places to see. These two gentlemen really made a difference in our vacation. The hotel was flawless. Also had a massage in the spa which was very good - highly recommended. January 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by cucu1965 Good hotel, excellent location Le Meridien in Barcelona offers good service level and comfort in an outstanding city center location - you are minutes away from the major attractions, right on the Rambla. The rooms are ok but very small, all of them unless you go for the suites, floors 5 and above. We could not get a platinum upgrade as the hotel was fully booked, but the hotel management offered us complimentary breakfast. All in all quite positive. July 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anna1016 The hotel concierge is rude and unhelpful. The hotel is centrally located and quite comfortable. The WiFi is primitive, you have to register each time you want to access the internet instead of having a 24 hour access after the login. The concierge at the hotel was extremely rude, seemed to be spending his time making arrangements for a tour operator instead of dealing with guests directly, and failed to make a restaurant reservation that I had asked for. June 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bob57 Location, Location, and Location Choosing a hotel is like buying real-estate for a short time. So as the y say in the real- estate business… it's all about Location, Location, and Location. The hotels spot at La Rambla 111 is fantastic. You are right in the middle of so many restaurants, shops (small and large), the market, and transportation is a snap. The facilities are comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. All in all a very nice stay! July 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 A dream Visist Recommended to us by a friend, perfect location on the Las Ramblas. Plenty of people watching and near La Boquria. Very American hotel, but lots of people from all over. Very modern. The showers were amazing!! Very quiet, good air conditioning. Reserved an airport and boat port transfer, couldn't have been more smooth. I would stay at ANY Le Meridien hotel again. Free WiFi in the lobby was effortless. Great breakfast. August 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by mreiter Well located Had a very pleasant stay at this hotel November 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JRCDM Location, location, location! Located on Las Ramblas, Le Meridien was the perfect place to stay. Also having La Bouqueria market so close was perfect for morning walks for fresh fruit (or whatever you want). The beds were too soft for our tastes and the staff wasn't especially friendly. One gave us walking directions to a tour start that was easily 3/4 mile past where it actually was located. The bathroom was great - especially the shower. September 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by BeachBoy BCN 25 - 27 Jan You can't really beat the location of Le Meridien Barcelona - adjacent to Las Ramblas and yet just on a quiet side street so that it doesn't seem crowded or loud. And yet all that the old city has to offer is surrounding the hotel. If you're like me and you like to work out, the gym is a bust... a real disappointment...a really small and uninviting space. But other than that flaw, this is a solid choice in BCN. January 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BDZ83 Excellence in staff, room and facilities Our 5 day stay in Barcelona was memorable for many reasons not the least was the truly exceptional personal and professional service we received at the hotel. The staff: from the front desk to the Concierge to housekeeping and anyone else associated with the Hotel were great in meeting or exceeding our needs. The room was spacious , well designed and extremely comfortable. Excellent location. Highly recommend! December 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by FiFi Best Birthday Ever We decided to spend my birthday at LeMeridien Barcelona based on a very positive previous stay in December 2011. We were not disappointed! We were upgraded to a recently redecorated suite which was perfect in every way A bottle of cava and a small delicious birthday cake were sent to our room with compliments of the staff. Thank you to all staff who made this a most memorable stay. We will definitely be back! February 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Czes Noisy Nights We have stayed at this hotel before and it was great. However this time we had a Junior Suite on the first floor facing a side street. Every morning (from 2 to 3 am) the garbage collection took place. The truck not only loaded the bins but also had a technique of banging them a few times to remove all the garbage. Result was broken sleep. Not what I expect from a 5* room. Otherwise great hotel and location February 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gwen50 Excellent Location and Very Comfortable! This hotel is in the perfect location to be right in the middle of the action on Las Ramblas yet the room was absolutely quiet and our room was on the first floor. The suite was enormous and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was huge with a great shower with lots of hot water and pressure! The staff was attentive and very welcoming. I would definitely stay here again. Perfect for all types of travellers. July 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pgoddard Great location, pleasant staff Friendly team - Travelled with 2 smalll kids. Were v helpful. Front office manager took my call when I called form airport to check on room availability and had room ready on arrival. Reservations staff assisted with upgrade and other courtesies. Food was very good - overall a great stay. Room was a little tired and could do with some paint touch up and some furniture was a little work out/ scratched. September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnC413 Excellent Service We were staying in another hotel our first two nights in Barcelona and wanted nicer accommodations for our last night. We came into the hotel and spoke with Gigi at the front desk. She was wonderful! She went above and beyond for us. Then when we came in the next day to check in, Paula was at the front desk. Once again we found another staff member who was great. Way to go LeMeridian!! Thank you. November 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Celine77 Central Barcelona with Style Our corner suite was very cool. If it had a kitchen it would have been worthwhile as an apartment or condo. Stylish, well-planned, not an ordinary hotel room. Hotel needs better service for check-in, there was no one to handle our luggage. There was some construction noise (drilling) from an adjacent suite during daylight hours, couch had a few minor stains, but overall, a nice space. December 29, 2012

How can you possibly know it was a bad chase? If the officer lit up his lights and then stopped right away, how can you possibly condemn him? You have no clue what happened yet you fault the officer. There is no way you are a current officer, if you were, you would be supporting your brother instead of trying to crucify him. I can tell you that you are in fact a current moron.Well, comming from a CURRENT officer, that was very irresponsible of that officer to contiue the chase. Theres guidelines that we have to follow when it comes to chasing people and if the chase ends in a death of anyone it was a bad chase. Thats a rookie mistake.

As much as I know people love to argue back and forth,. How do I know it was a bad chase? Your right, im smart enough at admit that I will retract that statement and say i dont know it was. But I will ask this. How do you know it wasnt? You dont. And dont reply with "the newspaper said the cop said." Dont believe everything you read. Noone will ever know what really happened that night except for Mike and that officer. Coming from a level headed person who lost his cousin in this incident I will say this: nothing is gonna bring Mike back. Regardless of whether he was in the wrong or not will linger in our minds forever, as will his memory. And yes Mr Easter Bunny, i am a current officer, in a city with a population of over 100,000.. In this line of work you are forced to make split second decisions and then have every other person monday-morning quarterback them. This Officer, like Mike, may have made a bad decision that night. However, as we will have to deal with the loss of a loved one for the rest of our lives, the Officer will have that night in his head on constant replay for the rest of his. Enough is enough. You can only play the blame game for so long. I miss my cousin, and thats why it took me a year before i would even look at some of the bullcrap posted by some people. To know how heartless some people are and to see the inconsiderate crap that people post just because others pain ammuses them is bull, but it is what it is. Bottom line is Noone deserves to die so young. And noone deserves to be haunted with the thought of causing a death. Give it up ladies and gents. And to some, know who your talking to or talking about before you grow internet muscles. Go ahead and post some dumb response to this talking about your the easter bunny or santa or whatever your internet fetish is. Im not guna entertain that crap. Im not even guna read it. God bless our brothers who wear the uniform, for they face trials and tribulations daily that would make some people buckle at the knees. And most importantly, god bless Mike Nuzzi. You will never be forgotten cousin.

Bottom line. This kid ran, he got dead. No loss to the world. It is probably a good thing his gene pool has been chlorinated. With decision making skills such as his, there is no telling what his offspring may have done.

I got on this blog tonight because I heard Hillard was fired for sleeping on the job and this incident has always haunted me so I was catching up on this post.
What "witnesses " are you talking about
I WAS there ...there were no other witnesses
Hillard chases Mike down like he robed a bank and killed a cop
I hope IF one day someone in YOUR family meets an unfortunate demise and someone tells you "quit your whining scrape him off the road and deal with it "
Karma is a witch .... Seems it might have caught up to Hillard .... Who's next ?

Welcome to All Things Baroque. We celebrate Baroque culture in all its forms - music, art, architecture, history, theatre, dance as well as food and wine. London was home to men with big hair such as Wren, Purcell and Händel, who, like his boss George I, was a naturalised Brit from Germany.
We are spoilt for choice with Baroque music, with concerts every day, although the flamboyant architectural style never took off here in the way it did in continental Europe. Baroque opera and dance are still performed, albeit not too regularly. We are lucky to have members who are professionals and specialists in all these fields.
All members are welcome to suggest and set up Meetups, including those in which they perform (either semi-pro and professional), as long as they are happy to be Event Hosts.
Looking forward to seeing you at a Meetup soon.

Well done, knew you would. I'm open 17th May, so hopefully can come and see yours, but we are going to Suffolk in July.
Roses aren't poisonous, you can eat the petals, sugar frost them for decorating cakes and make rose hip syrup. Nasturtiums are lovely in salad, flowers and leaves. There are lots of edible flowers you can use in cooking decoration. I think pansies and calendulas are edible.
Morning all.
You'll be fine DD, you've already worked several small miracles in the garden! It was pouring when they inspected my friend's garden.
Must plant more tulips, must do housework. Going to England via my daughter in north of France on Friday. Must do housesitter's room.
Thanks for the advice about Cannas 2 pages back.
Mine are in a pot too heavy to move so I will have to dig them out. I was going to wrap them in fleece and put them in a box in the garage. On another thread, Verdun said keep them dry and Punkdoc said keep slightly damp??? Some years ago someone gave me one, I left it in the bed and it died, so this will be my first winter storing them.
Obelix, if you come back here, I planted a rhubarb plant some years ago, ants built a huge nest in it and it died. So, 3 years ago I bought 2 more plants and 1 died, the other looks sickly. 2 years ago I bought 2 more plants, different variety and they haven't grown at all. Leaves go limp. I dug in lots of rotted manure and did what the books say. But I'm in Dordogne, not Charente, on a limestone ridge.
Has everyone gone out for the day? We've got back from Remembrance Service and lunch out.
Have I time to dig 3 huge cannas from a pot before dark? Will they be OK in a box wrapped in fleece in a garage, even if it's below freezing outside? Really must look them up, never overwintered one before.
Brilliant idea Verdun! Yesterday I planted foxgloves and a geum "Totally Tangerine". I also planted some tulips and forget-me-nots. The geum is quite big already and foxgloves do OK through the winter here, usually seed themselves and slugs don't eat them.
If it doesn't get much sun you could plant something like hardy fuschias.
I would do as Verdun says, in fact I just have. The roots are ready to pot on, the plants will be grateful for it in the spring.

Awards of the Imperium in order of precedence Honorifica Imperialis The Honorifica Imperialis is awarded by an Inquisitor Lord, War Master, or High Lord of Terra, in the name of the Emperor, to a person who, while a member of the Army, distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in action against an enemy of the Imperium; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the Imperium is not a belligerent party. The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit. Distinguished Service Cross The Distinguished Service Cross is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Imperium, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Honorifica Imperialis ; while engaged in an action against an enemy of the Emperor; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing/foreign force; or while serving with friendly forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing Armed Force in which the Imperium is not a belligerent party. The act or acts of heroism must have been so notable and have involved risk of life so extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades. Silver Star The Silver Star is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Imperium, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the Emperor while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing Xeno/heretic/traitor force, or while serving with friendly forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the Imperium is not a belligerent party. The required gallantry, while of a lesser degree than that required for award of the Distinguished Service Cross, must nevertheless have been performed with marked distinction. Soldiers who received a citation for gallantry in action during such conflicts may apply to have the citation converted to the Silver Star Medal The Ordo Mallus Unit Citation . The Ordo Mallus Unit Citation is awarded in the name of the Ordo Mallus to units of the Imperium and cobelligerent for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy Demonic or chaotic force. The unit must have accomplished its mission under such extremely difficult and hazardous conditions to set it apart from and above other units participating in the same campaign. The degree of heroism required is the same as that which would be required for award of a Acolytes Medal to an individual. The Ordo Xenos Unit Citation The Ordo Xenos Unit Citation is awarded in the name of the Ordo Xenos to units of the Imperium and cobelligerent for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy Xeno force. The unit must have accomplished its mission under such extremely difficult and hazardous conditions to set it apart from and above other units participating in the same campaign. The degree of heroism required is the same as that which would be required for award of a Acolytes Medal to an individual. Legion of Merit Criteria: The Legion of Merit is awarded to all members of the Imperium Armed Forces without reference to degree for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements. The performance must have been such as to merit recognition of key individuals for service rendered in a clearly exceptional manner. Performance of duties normal to the grade, branch, specialty or assignment, and experience of an individual is not an adequate basis for this award. For service not related to actual war the term "key individual" applies to a narrower range of positions than in time of war and requires evidence of significant achievement. In peacetime, service should be in the nature of a special requirement or of an extremely difficult duty performed in an unprecedented and clearly exceptional manner. However, justification of the award may accrue by virtue of exceptionally meritorious service in a succession of important positions. Acolytes Medal Criteria: Acolytes Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity in or with the Inquisition, distinguished himself or herself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight, while engaged in an action against an enemy of the Imperium; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the Imperium is not a belligerent party. b. Awards may be made for acts of heroism, performed under circumstances described above, which are of lesser degree than required for the award of the Silver Star. c. Awards may be made to recognize single acts of merit or meritorious service. The required achievement or service while of lesser degree than that required for the award of the Legion of Merit must nevertheless have been meritorious and accomplished with distinction Imperium Xeno Expeditionary Medal Eligibility Requirements. Awarded to Imperium service members who have actually landed on foreign planet and engaged in operations against armed Xeno opposition, or operated under circumstances deemed to merit special recognition and for which no service or campaign medal was awarded. Only personnel who actually participated in the given operation, are eligible for the Imperium Expeditionary ribbon. This includes personnel attached to a squadron or unit embarked in a ship during the eligible period for that ship. Members of rear echelons, transients, observers and personnel assigned for short periods of Temporary Additional Duty (TAD) or Training Duty (TD) are not normally eligible for the award. However, consideration will be given in those instances when the local commander certifies a particular and significant contribution by an individual. Such certification should be submitted to the CNO via the fleet commander who exercised operational control in the area involved. CMC maintains a list of eligible ships/units. Purity Seal Ribbon Awarded to members of the Imperium whom received their first purity seal as a reward for service in the face heresy/chaos/alien. More than one purity seal does not promote more than one ribbon. The Imperial Good Conduct Ribbon Criteria for receipt are outstanding proficiency, leadership, and conduct during 3 continuous years of active enlisted Imeriun Service. This is awarded on a selective basis to enlisted/inducted personnel of the Imperium and Imperial Guard Reserve for periods of three year's above-average continuous service. Recipients must have been recommended by their CO for proficiency in rating, sobriety, obedience, industry, courage and neatness throughout this period of service. Inquisitorial Commendation 3. Criteria for award: a. The Inquisitorial Commendation Medal is awarded to any member of the Inquisition other than Inquisitors who, while serving in any capacity with the Inquisition, distinguished himself by heroism, meritorious achievement or meritorious service. b. Awards may be made for acts of valor performed under circumstances described above which are of lesser degree than required for award of the Bronze Star Medal. These acts may involve aerial flight. An award may be made for acts of noncombatant-related heroism which do not meet the requirements for an award of the Acolytes Medal. Imperial Commendation Awarded to members of the Imperium and to other members of the Imperial Armed Forces serving in any capacity with the Imperial Guard, who distinguish themselves by heroism, outstanding achievement or meritorious service above that normally expected and worthy of special recognition. The Terra Defense Service Ribbon The Terra Defense Service Ribbon is awarded to personnel for service in the defense of an Imperium world that has come under attack from a foreign or xeno threat. Inquisitorial Inducted Forces Authorized Inducted ribbon has been approved for Imperial Guard personnel who serve under Inquisition Command or operational control in direct support of Inquisition operations. Team Commendation Awarded by the Commander and subordinate awarding authorities to groups or teams which do not constitute a military unit. To justify this award, individual members of these groups must have performed service, which made a significant contribution to the group's overall outstanding accomplishment of a study, process, mission, etc. The service performed as a group or team must be of a character comparable to that which would merit the award Imperial Commendation or higher to an individual. To receive this award, eligible personnel must have served on a team or group for the entire meritorious period and made a significant contribution to the overall accomplishment. Ribbons awarded for specific campaigns would be placed after the Imperial Guard Services ribbon but before the Team Commendation Ribbon. The Black Templars Excommunication Campaign a. Authorized to be awarded to soldiers who deploy to Fleet Congniack in direct support of The Black Templars Excommunication Campaign. The area of eligibility encompasses all naval vessels, land forces and direct support staff. b. To be eligible for the award, a soldier must be assigned or attached to a unit participating in BTE for 30 consecutive days or for 60 nonconsecutive days in a ship or meet one of the following criteria: 1) Be engaged in actual combat against the Black Templars and under circumstances involving grave danger of death or serious bodily injury from enemy action, regardless, of time or location in the fleet. 2) While participating in BTE or on official duties, regardless of time, is killed or wounded/injured requiring medical evacuation from battle. 3) While participating as a regularly assigned air crew member flying sorties into, out of, within, in direct support of BTE; each day that one or more sorties are flown in accordance with the criteria shall count as one day towards the 30 consecutive or 60 nonconsecutive day requirement. c. The medal may be awarded posthumously to any soldier who lost his/her life while, or as a direct result of, participating in qualifying operations, without regard to length of such service, if otherwise eligible. Imperial Guard Services Medal The medal will be awarded to personnel assigned to operations in an area designated by an Imperial General for award of the medal. Combat Action Ribbon The Combat Action Ribbon is a personal decoration awarded to members of the Imperium (when operating under the control of the Imperial Guard) who have actively participated in ground or surface combat, principal criterion is that the recipient must have participated in a bona fide ground or surface combat firefight or in an action during which he was under enemy fire from a force exceeding company (100)size and his performance while under fire was satisfactory. Humanitarian Service Medal The Humanitarian Service Medal is awarded to members of the Imperium who distinguish themselves by meritorious direct participation in any significant military act or operation of a humanitarian nature approved by the Ministorium. The medal is not awarded for participation in domestic disturbances involving law enforcement, equal rights to citizens, or protection of properties. b. Service members must be on active duty at the time for direct participation. It also includes service as a cadet at the Arbite Academy. Members of the Imperial Guard are eligible provided, that use of active forces has been authorized in the act or operation. c. Service members must have directly participated in the humanitarian act or operation within the designated geographical area of operation and within specified time limits. Specifically excluded from eligibility for this medal are personnel or elements remaining at geographically separated military headquarters. Imperial Marksmanship Award awarded to those that can score above 145 on the standard IG course Medals in order of precedence http://www.starbase10.com/gilead/medals.htm Order of Macharius Awarded to Imperial Guard officers for tactical brilliance and unusual initiative, It cannot be won by mere valor. It recognizes the highest levels of military leadership ability. Mere valor cannot win the Order of Macharius, it can only be won by spectacular success won by dint of strategic excellence in the face of an armed enemy. Honorifica Imperialis The second highest award given to members of the Imperial military, the Honorifica Imperialis denotes an individual who has distinguished himself above and beyond the call of duty and who represents the finest ideals humanity can aspire to. Merit of the High Lords To be awarded a Merit of the High Lords is a rare honor indeed, bestowed upon the greatest of commanders – those whose valor is such that his name has been mentioned in the Chamber of the High Lords. It is nicknamed the 'double-edged sword', as it inevitably means the individual who receives it will be under particular scrutiny from his superiors from that point onwards. He can expect to be assigned to the most horrific battlefronts by jealous superiors in order to pass on his wisdom and courage first hand. The Steel Aquila A golden half-circle bearing a simple steel Imperial Eagle is one of the most prestigious medals awarded to combat personnel. Often referred to as the 'lunatic's eagle', the Steel Aquila is awarded to soldiers who, in the face of great personal danger, have triumphed over the enemy and returned in a The Iron Aquila A simple iron Imperial Eagle is one of the most prized medals awarded to combat personnel. Often referred to as the "boring hero's award," the Iron Aquila is awarded to warriors who, in the face of the enemy, have triumphed and returned in a condition fit for further active duty by acts of valor that do not Honorifica Mundanus The highest award given to support personnel (such as tech adepts or members of the Collegia Psykologica), the Honorifica Mundanus denotes an individual who has distinguished himself above and beyond the call of duty and who represents the finest ideals humanity can aspire to. condition fit for further active duty.

This award is never issued without good cause, and only the impressive feats of personal valor will earn it. Administratum Medal The Imperial Administratum awards this medal to units and soldiers who have fought bravely in the defense of personnel and property belonging to this esteemed and highly necessary, but vulnerable organization. Awards for Achievement The Imperial Laureate An award born of the Age of Apostasy, this Laureate indicates a warrior who has effectively "won his laurels." Acts of valor leading to great victory are recognized with the Imperial Laureate. Only warriors who have won a laurel may bear the unit/regiment colors. Knight's Cross (Knight of Medusa shown) A medal and honorific title awarded to officers of the rank of Colonel and above who led their regiments in 30 or more consecutive days of active combat. Colonels are awarded the Knight's Cross, Brigadiers are awarded the Knight The Merit of Terra The Merit of Terra is awarded to soldiers who have voluntarily postponed their own demobilization. A bittersweet award, the Merit of Terra signifies that the bearer will be required to serve much longer than expected. However, it is a The Valoris Imperator Taking the form of a soaring two-headed eagle, the Valoris Imperator is awarded only to soldiers who have served for 20 years or more. It is technically awarded in recognition of long service, but in fact it is only awarded posthumously to veterans Companion's Cross, Major Generals are awarded the Knight Commander's Cross, Lieutenant Generals are awarded the Knight Grand Commander's Cross, Generals are awarded the Knight Master's Cross, Field Marshals or Warmasters are awarded the Knight Grand Master's Cross. Each award carries an equivalent knighthood. well-known sign of steadfast who have died in particularly loyalty toward the Golden unpleasant circumstances. Throne. All Imperial military personnel respect those bearing the Merit, and it is reported that even the Adeptus Astartes acknowledge the diligence and self-sacrifice that the award represents. The Medallion Crimson Those men who survive grievous, life-threatening injury without losing faith or honor and return to their units are often awarded the Medallion Crimson. Bearers of the Medallion Crimson are rightly feared as mighty warriors. The Order of the Storm A campaign badge awarded to soldiers who have been wounded in battle and have returned to their units. The Order of the Storm depicts a pair of crossed lightning bolts over an Imperial Eagle. The Ribbon Intrinsic Taking the form of an etched brass strip with a tripartite ribbon hanging beneath, the Ribbon Intrinsic is awarded to units rather than individuals.

The Golden Skull This medal is awarded posthumously to those who fall in actions in which their units have suffered at least 66% casualties.

It is zones and triumphed. Only considered in every way those who have proven inferior to the Golden Skull, victorious against The Triple Skull which is issued to those who which is issued survive such engagements posthumously to those who fall in such engagements, although doubtless the recipients view it a little more favorably. overwhelming odds in a fashion that has been witnessed by their superiors or Imperial Navy observers can earn this award. Bearers of the Order of the Eagle's Claw will receive increased respect from Imperial Navy personnel, regardless of the soldier's service arm. It is rare for soldiers outside of Drop Troop regiments to receive this award, but it has occasionally been issued to Imperial units that have participated in mass orbital deployments (under fire). Campaign Awards Medusa Star The Medusa Star was the Imperial Guard's general service medal, which denoted active military service during the Medusa V campaign. It was awarded to all ranks, though officers received a gold version. This is the most basic award a Guardsman could be awarded in this campaign and has little intrinsic value except to those soldiers newly transferred to the regiment. Armageddon Cross The Armageddon Cross was the Imperial Guard's general service medal, which denoted active military service during the 3rd Armageddon campaign. It was awarded to all ranks, though officers received a gold version. This is the most basic award a Guardsman could be awarded in this campaign and has little intrinsic value except to those soldiers newly transferred to the regiment.
