Secondly, if your oven doesn't have a broiler in the main compartment do not buy steel. Steel is a bottom browning accelerator. The only way of matching the faster rate of bottom browning is by using the broiler at the same time (and positioning the stone close to the broiler so the broiler has plenty of impact).Third, your oven MUST hit 550 for that mystical 4 minute bake. Mark (Communist) does his magic at 530, but, I think, just to be safe, 550 is about as low as you want to go.
Thanks Scott. Kenji is certainly not the one who influences my pizzamaking endeavors, I just had to try the steel for myself after hearing all the hype. At 22 pounds the 3/8" is as much weight as my oven rack can handle, as it is , the rack suffers a little bit of sag under the weight. I was a bit leary of the possibility of steel burning the bottom crust, as I have had the same experience with cast iron, and sure enough that is one of the biggest drawbacks of steel in a home oven. I'm not a fan of the broiler as in my case it is so unpredictable as to the timing of it's cycle. I overcome the lack of using a broiler for the most part, because I bake in the very small upper chamber of a dual oven, the heat is confined in a very small space, much like in a commercial deck oven. The final word, " buyer beware"!
Scott - looking through my thread I just realized I never posted the Scott special comparison bake. I'll see if I still have the notes and can find the pics, if not I'll redo because I think it will be helpful to show the difference of convection vs. bake/broil
Well, I don't let them burn, but I do like my pizza cooked to a slightly greater degree than most people do. I like my crust to be kinda dark like an artisan bread, not pale and light like some NY styles I've seen. I'll play around with the broiler/steel combo to see if I can get dialed in a little better, or, I may have a steel for sale!
By recommending 450 deg./8 minute bakes to Dave, you're basically telling him to go back to his old pies baked on cordierite- which is absolutely fine. Dave makes some phenomenal 7-8 minute pizzas.
With regard to all the baking steel hoopla, I think Andris bought some good press with Serious Eats. Serious Eats seems to do this subtle advertising at times. The same thing was going on when Lahey introduced his book. Serious Eats kept profiling pies inside the book and even did a video with him. After some criticism, Kenji seemed pretty desperate to defend Lahey at all costs as if he were protecting some advertising dollars. I'm not a fan of the baking steel. Tiles from Home Depot are lighter, better, and much more economical.

The Galatia School District will join the Illinois State Board of Education in providing a unique opportunity for teachers, students and parents to have a role in improving their school.
Between Feb. 1 and March 31, teachers, students, and parents will be asked to take a 15 minute research-based survey to help Identify strengths and weaknesses in their school's climate and learning conditions, according to a press release from Galatia Unit 1.
Dr. Beth Rister, Galatia superintendent, said, "I think most administrators would agree to encourage all teachers, students, and parents to make their voices heard not only to Impact change, but help provide a more robust picture of school performance."
The five indicators or "essentials" of the Illinois Essentials Survey are:
- Effective leaders;
- Collaborative teachers;
- Involved families;
- Supportive environment;
- Ambitious instruction.
Data will be generated to help schools target resources and make decisions that help accelerate learning and test score gains. This survey which is required to be implemented this school year, represents the first attempt by a state to administer a statewide survey of learning conditions to teachers, students, and parents. This Information will be shared with local school districts this summer and be part of the 2013 school report card, usually released by ISBE In the fall.
Parents may call their school district for further Information and/or timelines.

Cemetery needs better care
To the editor:
My breath, heartbeat and discouragement are being felt. Ten days before Memorial Day, I went and spoke with the Catholic Cemetery caretaker. There are parts which need a lot of tending to, including the area where our son is laid to rest with neighboring Catholics. I was told the area would be taken care of, right after Memorial Day. It is sandy, no grass, but weeds. He'd thrown in grass seed before Memorial Day, but with the rain and wind, it all landed in the flowers. Memorial Day is an unwritten day, where everyone is out making the grave sight of their loved one, so beautiful and peaceful. There is no reason why it has to look so terribly awful. Have some pride in your work. We want to take pride in our little plot, where our son is.

Master's Age Divisions will be Split at the 2012 Outdoor National Championships
Lincoln, Neb. (June 6, 2012) – The master's long distance race (male and female) will be split into two groups at the 2012 Outdoor National Championships. The two groups will be 25-34 and 35-44 in one group and 45-54 and 55 and over in a separate group.
Previously, all of the master's division participants (25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55 and over) skated together and were awarded separately in the long-distance races on the track and road.
Fortunately, the level of competition in this group has increased dramatically making it necessary to split the group into two separate races. All age categories will still be awarded separately.

NRC in best position to decide wolf hunt issue
Gov. Rick Snyder recently signed a bill reclassifying wolves as a game species in Michigan and authorizing a hunt. The Michigan Natural Resources Commission will now decide whether a hunt will actually be held and if it is, how wide its scope would be, how many animals would be killed and by what means.
Meanwhile, a coalition of animal welfare, conservation groups and Native American tribes opposed to a Michigan wolf hunt has launched a referendum campaign, hoping to gather 225,000 signatures to put the issue on the November 2014 ballot.
The Upper Peninsula Animal Liberation Defense's ballot committee, "Keep Michigan Wolves Protected" hopes to gather the required signatures of Michigan voters by late March in order to qualify for the ballot.
We think the issue of a wolf hunt has become a sensitive topic and both sides of the debate need to curb claims that are exaggerated or untrue.
For example, the wolf hunt legislation stated, "The sound management of wolf populations in this state is necessary, including the use of hunting as a management tool, to minimize negative human and wolf encounters and to prevent wolves from threatening or harming humans, livestock and pets."
There have been no documented accounts of wolves attacking humans in Michigan.
Likewise, opponents of the hunt – including the coalition – said "Wolves are often hunted via the cruelest and most unsporting methods of killing – including painful steel-jawed leghold traps where animals suffer for hours or even days, shooting wolves over piles of bait, aerial gunning from helicopters and even using packs of dogs to chase down and kill wolves."
This suggests these methods are selected particularly for their cruelty and all would potentially be authorized in a Michigan wolf hunt, which is extremely unlikely.
The coalition said, "People don't eat wolves, and they would be killed just for fun and trophies. Trophy hunting and fur trapping of this still-recovering species is premature, inhumane, and unnecessary."
People don't eat coyotes, bobcats and red and gray foxes either. However, the state allows seasons for these predators without a ballot referendum effort to stop it. Why are wolves the limited exception?
The NRC would likely only allow a limited hunt of wolves in certain areas of the Upper Peninsula where wolf populations are causing problems. This hunt would serve viable biological and social carrying capacity purposes.
Wolf populations in Michigan have exceeded population goals for recovery, one of the qualifying benchmarks to being removed from the federal List of Endangered and Threatened Species.
The coalition states, "Opening a hunting season on wolves so soon is premature and could be disastrous to their fragile population."
With the federal delisting of wolves, their populations must be monitored for several years to make sure they don't falter. If they do, relisting could be necessary. The NRC will not authorize a widespread wolf hunt without concern for population levels.
NRC Chairman J.R. Richardson said recently the panel will be guided by a management plan the department put together with advice from groups representing interests including hunting, farming, animal welfare and environmental protection. Richardson requested an update on the wolf's status this month and promised to continue consulting with the public.
"If a bill delegating authority to create a hunt is signed into law, it will be up to the commission to lay out a socially responsible framework for population management on a limited basis to help resolve conflicts in specific areas," Richardson said.
The bill also establishes a Wolf Advisory Council, which will include representatives from the DNR, tribal government, agricultural interests and conservation, animal advocacy and hunting organizations. The council will report annually to the NRC and the Legislature, making non-binding recommendations for proper wolf management.
As far as letting the voters speak, we did that in 1996 when Proposal G was passed, which gives exclusive authority to the NRC to regulate the taking of game. We trust this panel, with input from the public, will make the right choices in regulating any potential wolf hunt in Michigan.

More about the crisis and how you can help:state.gov/haitiquakeAbout the Author: Katie Dowd serves as New Media Director at the U.S. Department of State.
On January 20, 2010, the text "Haiti" to "90999" campaign passed the $25 million mark. This is the largest mobile donation campaign to date and a true testament of the generosity of the American people. On behalf of everyone at the State Department, we thank you for your contributions.
Within hours of the earthquake, the Department helped launch this mobile fund-raising initiative in partnership with the American Red Cross, Mobile Accord and the mGive Foundation. Donations will appear on customers' monthly bills or be debited from a prepaid account balance, and 100 percent of the proceeds from this campaign support Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.
As a friend, a partner, and a supporter, the United States will continue to assist the people and government of Haiti in every way we can. This is a long-term commitment that will extend beyond the current emergency.
For those who have a significant in-kind contribution to make – such as a plane, a cargo ship, a team of doctors, portable generators, or large-scale water purification equipment – please log onto the website of the Center for International Disaster Information at www.cidi.org.
You also can send your message to email@example.com. Be certain to include in the subject line "Donation of" followed by the products you are willing to donate. A staffer will share the information with relief and development agencies that have the ability to transport collected items to the affected region.

Bulldogs maul Marquette for first-ever mercy-rule win against Redmen
HANCOCK – Behold the rejuvenating power of a little rest.
After more than a week off, Hancock beat Kingsford Tuesday, then thanks to school canceled Friday, the Bulldogs thumped Marquette 10-2 Friday with the game ending on the eight-goal mercy rule just 1:57 into the third period.
HCHS junior Brett Lepisto had four goals and two assists, completing a hat trick during a Marquette major penalty in the second. Six of Hancock's 10 tallies came on the power play.
MSHS?went up 1-0 on McKinley Larson power-play goal 5:49 in.
Just over a minute later, Marquette took its first penalty, then Hancock's Alex Hill skated in from the right circle and went top-shelf over goalie Ethan Wiese, who finished with 21 saves.
Lepisto banged his first of the game in from in close to give Hancock the lead for good at the 12-minute mark.
Rebound goals were a theme for Lepisto and Marquette (2-10).
"The No. 1 key was too many rebounds and also, we weren't clearing out in front of the net. You can't leave guys in front of the net to take three, four shots without being touched," MSHS coach Mike L'Huillier said.

Angeline update
To the Journal editor:
Lake Angeline has been open to the public; however, this access is not guaranteed. Two vehicle access points were closed to the public in the past. With the property owner graciously allowing vehicle access at one remaining place in the southwestern corner of the lake.
For more than 15 years our group has been trying to gain a permanent access. Approximately one year ago, the Michigan Natural Resource Commission agreed to pursue a land swap with the property owner. Neighboring property owners also support the use of this lake for fishing.
According to the State Parks and Recreation Department representative located in Marquette, they and the property owner have been slowly working to arrange the purposed land swap. This process have been going on far to long and needs to be completed.
Our non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization has been planting Rainbow, Brown, and Lake Trout for many years. Cliffs Mining and our group have invested tens of thousands of dollars planting this lake. Many years ago, Days River smelt were transported to Ishpeming and planted in this lake. Smelt and lake trout are successfully reproducing.
The state of Michigan has plans to build a boat launch if the land swap is completed. In addition, The Department of Natural Resources will plant trout after public access has been guaranteed. Our group can be in devoting our scant monetary resources to other local projects to support the young, old, and handicap fishermen and women.
The lake is a great place for younger people to enjoy fishing. Its location allows for easy access for all children simply by riding a bicycle. Easily accessible good fishing lakes and rivers do not exist like they once used to.
Our group fully support kids fishing, we plan to host a winter fishing outing for area middle and grade schools once public access has been obtained. There has been discussion with the John Voelker group in adopting this lake. I'm sure they will plan activities for the young people as well.
On Nov. 22, rainbow trout were once again purchased and planted. During this visit to the lake we found the surrounding area had a significant amount of trash scatter about. This is a sure way to lose the one remaining access point to this lake. Our group will be conducting a spring cleanup.
Please keep it clean.

Travis Driskell (CA) wasn't just a football defensive back for the Whittier Poets, he was a 1st Team All-Conference selection and second on the squad in tackles (88). He was also vice-president of the physics honor society Sigma Pi Sigma, an intern at the Aerospace Corporation working on atomic clocks, and a tutor in the physics department. And when he wasn't hosting star-gazing trips or sci-fi movie nights in his role as president of the Physics Club, he played intramural soccer and basketball. Travis knew that no school does ''well rounded'' better than Whittier.

Topic: Protecting business idea
Hi all,
Since I am still such a noob at this, I was hoping you guys could help me get an idea whether this is a feasible plan for my upcoming project.
I am an entrepreneur and since I still lack the ROR programming experience, I need to hire a contractor. However, what's at risk is my business idea itself since table names and category names would need to be provided to the employee. To combat this risk, I was hoping to use 'code words' or generic table & category names for which I would go back to change in both my programming and my database afterwards.
So my question really is, how difficult and time-consuming would it be for me to go back and change all the references in the programming? Is there some software or utility that would allow me to just find and replace automatically? What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

Deftones -- St. Louis, MO -- October 11th, 2013
Hail To The King tour featuring Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones and Ghost
Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, Maryland Heights (St. Louis), MO
October 11th, 2013
I went to this show for Ghost and Deftones.
Ghost started the show off. Most of the fans in attendance looked a bit freaked out (remember, lots of girls at this show who probably had never even heard of the band). Others sang along and were familiar with the band. I thought the band sounded ok. The bass drum was too high in the mix and could have been turned down a bit. Some friends in the seats said the band sounded great. They sounded good in the pit area but not great. This was my 2nd time seeing Ghost and once again I was pleased but I enjoyed them more on the Mastopeth tour. I think they sound better in a club. The band received more applause and cheering after each song they played.
Per Aspera ad Inferi
Con Clavi Con Dio
Stand by Him
Year Zero
Monstrance Clock
Deftones came out with a different back drop. Not sure what happened to the one with the horse one it but it was definitely better than the one they used for this concert. The first 2 songs sounded a bit muddy. After that the band sounded ok from the pit area. It wasn't the best they have sounded out of the 6 times I have seen them but the sound was ok from where I was at. Chino was full of energy as usual - running around like a maniac and jumping off of monitors and drum risers.
Diamond Eyes
Rocket Skates
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
My Own Summer (Shove It)
Swerve City
Change (In the House of Flies)
Engine No. 9
7 Words
I stayed and watched 6 of the A7X songs but I'm not familiar with the titles enough to know them all by name. A7X sounded great - really good. Their stage production was very cool for a band at their level of popularity. Lots of Pyro, video screens positioned into the castle windows and the 'King' from Hail to the King was reminiscent of Eddie from Iron Maiden when the prop appeared behind the drums. I was surprised at how good A7X sounded and at their stage production. I'm not a fan but I give them credit where it is due.
Ghost - 8.0 out of 10
Deftones - 7.5 out of 10
A7X - 9.0 out of 10
1-13 Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals

I was in the middle of the upper section seats and Ghost sounded fantastic. also agree that with each song the band got more applause and that sone were a little freaked out. I left after Ghost and ran across town to the Pageant for Bullet headlining. Had a great night, plus the Cardinals won for the trifecta.

Footprint Network Blog - 12/2012
Hundreds Gather in Beirut to Address the Arab Region's Ecological Footprint
Hundreds of delegates from across the Arab region gathered in the historic Phoenicia Intercontinental Hotel in Beirut at the end of November to discuss the Arab region's Ecological Footprint and strategies to chart a sustainable future.
The Arab Forum for Environment and Development's (AFED) two-day annual conference drew over 500 delegates from nearly 50 countries, including ministers, diplomats, academics and representatives from the civil and private sector. The study at the heart of this year's conference, "Survival Options: Ecological Footprint of Arab Countries," was released in partnership with Global Footprint Network, and is the most comprehensive survey of the condition of the Arab region's natural environment to date. It includes the Arab Atlas of Footprint and Biocapacity, with profiles for 22 Arab nations and six sub-regions.
Lebanon's President Michel Sleiman opened the conference, saying "Facts and figures in AFED's report are alarming. The report should be nationally disseminated and used by all Arab countries. Its results and recommendations should be discussed by all sectors to integrate them in strategies."

Boomer Tale: Cook Out
This is a tale of guts, glory and food that will make this fat kid dream well til Christmas.
Just got back from a few days in the mid-west and had a glorious time with the country sage and his family and a host of other forum members. I took that drive I've come to love since living here in Virginia down Hwy 64 seeing all the different land scapes the good lord put on the earth. Shot matt a text that I was bout 10 miles away and he told me to meet them in Coffeen at a little sandwich shop. He calls me a little later telling me to hurry up cause they were waiting on me so I gun it that last little stretch of the way. I see matt's truck off to the side of the road and pull in back were I remember there is a back entrance. As I walk in I see Jim, matt's father-in-law and Hanna. Say hey to them and see matt out front looking for me to come down the road. I walk out behind him, give him a little jab in the ribs and say,
"man its hard to find good help these days."
He turns around with a smile and says
"where'd you park?"
"in back"
"have you been here before?"
"Yip, last time I was in town."
This was the place were you had to flip to buy lunch. Last time I was here, Jim had lost and bought for everyone. matt had someone flip for me this time, but … Jim lost again. I got a meatball sub and we all jump in matts truck and headed over to a steel building to eat, joke around a bit and I watch Jim and this other young guy play a game of kick the bottle. Basically you fill an empty plastic bottle up about 1/3 of the way, put it cap side down and kick it into a white box that is up against the front wall. I was encouraged to grab a bottle and play, but sat that one out. I had to see the rules …. but next time …. ohh its on. Jim was paying up at the end .. it was like a dollar for three kicks I think … and matt smiles and talks to Jim,
"hey you know, I know another guy who bets … "
He didn't even have to finish. I had my wallet out and forked over some money I lost to him from a bet. I'm 0-6 with him I think. This next fight will be my redemption though.
From there matt takes me back to my car and I follow them to the new house. It is beautiful. Close to town and backs up to the farm … perfect. Shortly after we head over to the gym and meet Amy and her two kids and her boy friend Andy. I see Robbie there too and we talk some about his last fight, and some up coming things for him and try to get him to come to our cook out. Andy gets out there with matt and crew for the training while I watch from the sidelines. I have no misconceptions about myself. I'm not an athlete and a hughes training class is not something I could make it through on my feet. I'd drag myself through it and die trying … but I had a whole weekend of things planned that I wanted to be conscious for. Every time I'm there though, or even around matt I am inspired to test myself physically and mentally.
That night matt, Joey, Hanna and me all went to see that new movie "Grown Ups". It was pretty funny but more entertaining was matt giving a gal some trouble with some guys at the movie. I love the theater in Hillsboro. Has a lot of charm and character and they have these couches in the back that make you feel like you are just at home watching the movie. These two guys had just met these girls and sat on one of the couches away from them. Matt stands up and just watches were everyone sits then starts speaking up ...
"Now wait a minute, whats wrong here." matt says with that smirk of a grin.
The poor girl shoots a look at matt like she was going to rip is heart out. matt was joking around with these guys and this gal before the movie started in the lobby so this was just building off that. It was pretty funny and light hearted.
After the movie we headed back to the Hughes house and called it a night. Friday matt and Audra went into Springfield and I headed over to see my buddy Mac to see how I could help get ready for a big cook out at his house. We talk for a bit and I am wanting to go into Decatur to go to Sam's for the deserts. Mac, convinces me otherwise cause cities are evil. Satan lives in them and your soul is stolen through the streetlights and hookers on every corner. So I conceded to go to the local Wal-mart and got a bunch of deserts and drinks for the festivities the next day. I had been looking forward to this bash for months … so we stocked up to make sure everything was covered. I was still a little worried that I wouldn't have enough. Mac says shopping with me though is every 8 year olds dream.
I head back to Hillsboro to get ready for some local fights matt was making an appearance at. I took a shower and changed and walked up the stairs and a family was up there with Audra talking. It was another "Matt" and his family. Matt owns the Harley Davidson shop that sponsors matt and they had a booth at the fights. I rode over there with Harley Matt and his family and just had a really good time talking with them. Good folks. Once at the fights, matt gets us pit passes to walk around close to the cage and I take a few pictures. I started to get a pretty bad headache that was all too familiar to me. I was dehydrated. I get some water and sit off in the back for a bit and start to feel better. Once we first got there, Jim was wearing a democratic candidate shirt for some local elections coming up and the guy on the shirt was at the fights. Jim asked matt to go get a picture with him. matt walked over to say hi, but this isn't the guy matt is supporting politically. I love his expressions here …. doing this to be a good son-in-law:
Here are a few shots from that night:
I saw Mark and Emily there which is always nice. Had a good talk with Emily and Mark.
After the fights we all went to greasy's for some good old diner food and some more conversations and jokes. matt had let Jim take his truck to get his buddies home so to get us all home, matt and Audra rode in the passenger seat with Audra's two brothers in the back with the car seat. It was like high school all over again. I was apparently going to fast heading home, cause matt made a comment about me being "speedy" to which Audra added I wasn't use to Hybrid power … I admit I didn't know how to start the car ….. it was a button.
Saturday rolls around and matt and joey and audra are all out in the yard doing some work before its time for us to go to the cook out. At 200 matt, Joey, Hanna and me load up into matt's truck and take off for Mac's to start this country cook out. On the way over Hanna says,
"daddy are you wearing a muscle shirt."
"Sure am Hanna."
"Is that a girls muscle shirt?"
(Boomer giggleing)
matt laughing "no honey, it not"
small side comment .. "just trying to even out my tan".
There was so much food there that I just couldn't hold the smile off my face. Besides a host of Mac's kin (his folks hosted the event .. some people I just love like they were my own) we also had some forum folks there like OddTodd, SugerShane, Jessi, Silverback, Nater, Amy and clan, Mark and his tribe … just a great time. Amy and Andy beat Mac and I in a game of washers …. but something else tragic did happen besides that. Something I would give my last ounce of blood to prevent if I could. I broke a friends heart. Now, I 've written in the past about matt and Marks grilling. They know how to do it … the Golden Grill challenge I was with them once two years back and the year before that they made nate and I beer can chicken and pork chops at the farm … well these twins can cook. But Mac can hold his own as well. So, Mark and Mac had a bet on who could make the best hot wings …. the day before we called nater and well .. nate had already cast his vote for Mark. This raised some eyebrows at the legitimacy of the voting pool and what Mark was up to. SO, at my protest Mark and Mac agree to make me the sole judge of the competition. I would be honest .. and I must say that I enjoyed the flavor of Mark's over Mac's. When I was eating them … I couldn't enjoy them because both were great, but one was a bit better. I saw Mac look over at me, Mark was sitting right in front of me …. I bowed my head. How can I tell Mac this? He had worked for three hours to get these wings just right. Finally I broke it to him. Mac look at me like I shot his dog ….. dear GOD why did I judge this. Granted they were both GREAT wings …. and really two separate wings ….. but Marks just had more flavor … Mac's meat though was so soft it fell right off the bone. matt made some great Shrimp Louisiana style ...
After the cook out Joey and I were going to go swimming. Once we get there some folks were over already in the pool so Joey, matt and myself all hop in the pool. matt and joey wrestle around and play some water basketball while I swim a bit and talk to the people there. I met the kids God Mother who was a fun person to talk to. Very full of life you could tell. Hanna went home with her that night but before they left … she put on a little show for us. For those of you who have seen the movie "The Proposal" one of the funniest scenes is when Sandra Bullock and Betty White are dancing around the camp fire getting in touch with nature. Well, Hanna breaks down and does that dance like she was on the film … and to top it off, matt standing right next to her starts doing "a" dance .. not really sure what .. but it was just as funny. matt says, "thats right hanna we shake it cause we have to," as they both gyrate round the garage … I'm laughing just writing this.
Sunday we go to church and then that afternoon I go shooting with matt and Joey and their Uncle Bobs farm in Coffeen. Jim and crew were there and just sitting and listen to them talk is very relaxing to me. Great group of guys. After that we get home and I say my goodbyes to the hughes family. Wasn't sure if I would see them again. Honestly they just feel like they are family now. Wither its being with matt in Vegas, London, Abu Dhabi or right there in Hillsboro I just always am really appreciative of the time and never feel like I do enough in return. They probably get really tired of me thanking them, but I just don't know what else to do.
That night I head into St Louis to meet some friends of mine that were coming up to train at the HIT Squad. I had dinner with them and Danny and his two sons, then head over to Danny's apartment to watch "The Book of Eli". Danny had become a good buddy over our recent Vegas trip so I enjoy some good time with him and his sons.
Monday matt came to the gym for training and my guys from Virginia got to jump in there. They loved it and training with matt. matt also had lunch with us all before he had to head to the airport to pick up some folks that were going to spend a few days with them. After that I took some time to go see some relatives that lived close by and catch up a bit which was nice and stayed the night with them. Tuesday I really wanted to make it over to see Mac one more time before coming back to Virginia and we messed around with a truck he is restoring for matt before I headed back to hillsboro to say some goodbyes to Mark and Danny at the farm. I was going to head home that night, but before I did I did get to have one last supper with the hughes family and their two friends from Arizona. One was their accountant who was an orthodox jew. Long beard and everything, so of course I ate up talking with him and listening to all the convos. He asked me how long I had known matt and Audra and I had to really think back .. it was before my first trip to Iraq .. Hanna was about to be born …. almost four years I guess. So one more round of good-byes .. and I hit the road.
Great vacation all-in-all to the mid-west. Saw fights .. ate good food … but best of all hung out with some great friends. Mac, Danny, Nate, Amy, Mark and family and the other Hughes clan love you guys. Make it harder for me to leave each time.
Til Augest my forum friends …. WHEN THE DRUMS OF WAR WILL RESOUND FROM ON HIGH AND THE COUNTRY SAGE WILL BRING JUDGEMENT ON ALL WHO OPPOSE ONCE MORE!!

You never disappoint Boomer. It's always like we're right there with you. Wish We could have been, but will definitely be at the next gathering. I know you're thankful to have the Hughes' as friends and in seeing you and Matt interact firsthand I can say tell Matt is really appreciative of your friendship as are we all.
Glad to know you buddy. see you VERY soon!

"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novela black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justicebut the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
One of the best-loved classics of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many dis-tinctions since its original publication in 1960. It has won the Pulitzer Prize, been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie.

"When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.... When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out."
Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of 8-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus--three years punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Though her story explores big themes, Harper Lee chooses to tell it through the eyes of a child. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up.
Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding. During the trial, the town exhibits its ugly side, but Lee offers plenty of counterbalance as well--in the struggle of an elderly woman to overcome her morphine habit before she dies; in the heroism of Atticus Finch, standing up for what he knows is right; and finally in Scout's hard-won understanding that most people are essentially kind "when you really see them." By turns funny, wise, and heartbreaking, To Kill a Mockingbird is one classic that continues to speak to new generations, and deserves to be reread often. --Alix WilberFrom the Publisher:

Club member Mark Popenhagen of Willoughby, Ohio, offered this suggestion through the member bulletin board at www.HandymanClub.com. Knowing that electronic equipment such as calculators can suffer (and die an early death) from dust allergies and shop grime, Mark sealed his shop calculator in a zipper-type food-storage bag. He can do the math right through the soft plastic covering, adding years to the life of his calculator.

Melt Your Heart Tuna Melt
Recipe courtesy of Carnie Wilson
- Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off
- Tuna Salad:
- One 12-ounce can tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise, plus more if you like a creamy tuna salad
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus more if desired
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion, white parts and some of the green parts
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Sandwich:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 8 slices Cheddar
- 4 pickle spears, for serving
For the tuna: In a large bowl, break up the tuna with a fork and add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, red onions, green onions, basil, cilantro, parsley, mint and vinegar. Mix well to combine. Taste and season with salt, pepper and extra lemon juice and mayonnaise as desired.
For the sandwich: Brush the softened butter on 1 side of each slice of bread, setting aside some butter for cooking the sandwiches. Place the bread buttered-side down on a baking sheet. Divide the tuna among 4 slices of bread and top each with 2 slices of cheese. Complete the sandwich with the remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered-side up.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the remaining butter. When the butter melts, place 2 sandwiches in the pan and cook until toasted and golden brown on each side. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. (If your pan is large enough, you can cook all the sandwiches at the same time.) Serve warm, with pickles.

Norma,If I recall correctly, you previously experienced the phenomenon of the finished crust sinking where the sauce racing stripes were put down. It is almost like a mattress sinking where a person is lying on it. There may be several explanations for what you experienced but one simple test that comes to mind to see if it was the weight of the sauce that was responsible for the sinking effect is to replace the 4 ounces of sauce that you have been using with 4 ounces of something else of similar consistency, such as finely diced cooked mushrooms or peppers that are also laid down in stripes. However, such a test might not be dispositive if you cannot replicate the condition of the dough that ended up sinking under the sauce, either before or after baking. Peter
Zane commented to me that he sauces post-bake because saucing before baking causes the crust to sink (or not rise as much). I've noticed the same thing in my limited experience with Sicilian (one time I had the bright idea to sacue mid-bake and ended up with one giant top-to-bottom gum line). I really like the fresher flavor of the unbaked sauce as well, so saucing after works out very well for me.CL
Or maybe just try laying the stripes down the opposite direction....3 short ones instead of 2 long ones? Just to test...
I recently made a discovery, quite accidentally, concerning the topic of dough sag where the sauce is applied. I made to pizzas but had only a little shredded cheddar and mozz to use. I did, however have some sliced provolone, which I applied first, completely covering the dough, followed by the shredded cheeses and finally the sauce. The result was no or little sag, which I attribute to the wide surface of the provolone being able to support more weight than shredded cheese alone. The provolone also helped eliminate any gum line or sogginess. The pictures sort of show the result but are'nt really that clear. I only photographed this one slice, which was a next-day reheat in the wfo.
Craig,Thanks for posting what Zane told you and also how you like the fresher taste of the unbaked sauce on your Detroit-style pizzas. If you were me though, what would you really do? What I mean is when I did apply the sauce post bake, I noticed when cutting the pizza that the sauce wanted to spread more and then be more runny when I tried to put it on something to try and sell it. Most of my slices also need a reheat when I sell them. I wonder what Zanes pizzas look like when he cuts them. Did you apply your sauce thick or thin? Norma
Norma, I had a 8oz piece of mild white cheddar which I diced by hand because I didn't have my shredder with me, and a small handful of shredded mozz., maybe 5 oz or so. That was divided between 2 pizzas, each of which had, I think, 3 slices of provolone. The flavor was pretty good but I would have liked something a little stronger/sharper. The dough was Occident, 70% HR., .6%IDY., 1.75% salt. RT for a couple hrs. and in the pans a couple more.
If sagging dough is a problem, perhaps cook the sauce down some and then apply post bake? Steve's sliced cheese discovery also makes a lot of sense to me. It could be done with any cheese I suspect. It might be just the answer you've been looking for in your situation which is different from a traditional pizzeria selling DS that wouldn't need to hold and reheat slices. One other thing to consider would be to sauce the slices after reheating them.CL
