'Dallas': Episode 3 'The Price You Pay' sets viewers up for the long, gloriously wicked reveal
SPOILER ALERT! Don't read this recap if you don't want to know the details of this week's episode of Dallas, "The Price You Pay." Because talking about the details is, you know, what recaps do.
The third episode of TNT's Dallas easily matched the promise of last week's debut episodes, setting viewers up with an intensifying J.R./John Ross vs. Bobby/Christopher feud and the promise of dastardly dealings that'll easily keep us enthralled through the 10-episode first season. I can smell a humdinger of a cliffhanger coming.
WHAT HAPPENED? It starts with a loving father-son ritual, as J.R. and John Ross get shaved together in a ritzy barber shop. But after J.R.'s (Larry Hagman) shave is finished, he sends the barber out and picks up the sharp, Sweeney Todd-esque razor and goes at John Ross' (Josh Henderson) throat like a pro. John Ross remains unaware; a towel covers his eyes. Once J.R. reveals his knowledge of John Ross' treachery in the conservancy deal for Southfork, he unexpectedly makes nice, telling Junior that he wants to make up for all the time he spent away during his childhood by now teaching him everything he knows about big oil. Ah, bonding, Ewing style. Then J.R. orders John Ross to find a witness to a long-ago fatal accident caused by lawyer Lobell's son, in order to stop Lobell's blackmail attempts to get in on the gusher of money everyone's expecting to spew out of the wells at Southfork. John Ross' wicked grin and arched eyebrow at that moment was a perfect mirror of J.R.'s — I half expected Junior's eyebrows to start sprouting little J.R.-type wings, even as we watched.
Meanwhile, back at Southfork, Bobby's (Patrick Duffy) wife Ann (Brenda Strong) is teaching new daughter-in-law Rebecca (Julie Gonzalo) the finer points of shooting (because that's how Ann rolls). Tommy (Callard Harris), Rebecca's brother (maybe; we'll see) interrupts and Ann goes back to the house. Tommy instructs Rebecca to install a program on Christopher's (Jesse Metcalfe) computer that'll give Tommy access to all his secrets, as they continue their long con of the Ewing clan.
J.R. meets with a Venezuelan gazillionaire (Carlos Bernard, from 24, looking all fabulously sinister) who's fronting him $50 million for John Ross' drilling exploits. Not-so-subtle threats between J.R. and gazillionaire ensue, but J.R. prevails and gets a better deal for himself and John Ross.
Bobby's surgery got the entire tumor (good news) but it was bigger than expected (bad news, as that means it's more likely to recur). He may live! Ergo, he puts the sale of Southfork on hold indefinitely (which in this case, means about 30 minutes).
J.R. bribes a nursing-home compadre to pretend to be his doctor; he calls Bobby and tells him it would do ol' J.R. so much good to come home to Southfork. Bobby knows it's a bad idea, but capitulates. Curses upon his family loyalty!
Chris and Elena (Jordana Brewster) have a scene talking about all kinds of geological technical stuff like "exothermic reactions" and "methane gas extraction" and "liquid carbon dioxide." They solve the terribly complicated potentially business-destroying problem in, oh, 15 seconds, and then exchange a passionate hug (the real reason for the scene, of course).
J.R. arrives back at Southfork to find Bobby cloistered in his office with (da-da-da-DUM) his arch-enemy Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval, looking craggy but not in nearly a good a way as Larry Hagman).
Rebecca and Elena have lunch. Rebecca wants to be friends. As if. They chat about Christopher's tragic past and how he's always felt, as the adopted son of Bobby, that he's had to earn being a Ewing. Back at his home lab, Christopher solves another big problem, and he and Rebecca receive an invitation to dine with (da-da-da-DUM) Cliff Barnes that night. Note to producers: In Dallas society , to get a Ewing to dinner, given their social status, you would need engraved invitations and at least three weeks notice. Members of our elite families intuitively reject spontaneity.
At dinner, Cliff offers to invest in Chris' business, which Chris rejects. "You are never gonna be one of them, Chris!," Cliff yells. "And don't let them destroy you like they did Pam!"
Meanwhile, back at Southfork, Ann hears an intruder in the barn and grabs her shotgun. As we've seen repeatedly by now, Ann doesn't know about calling 9-1-1, and she is a FIRM believer in Texas' Castle Law. It's just J.R., though, in the storage room rummaging through photos and documents. Talking about Miss Ellie, he admits that "I spent a lot of my time hating how much she loved him (Bobby). … wasted time." Oh, J.R., you are so awesome at making treachery seem like psychological growth!
Later, J.R. and John Ross stage an argument in front of Bobby and Ann about Miss Ellie's journal, which reveals that (da-da-da-DUM) she spent time in a mental institution — which could give John Ross' contesting of her will some heft in court.
Rebecca and Chris arrive to tell Bobby the good news about the project, only to find Bobby in the midst of signing papers to sell Southfork, after all. They argue. Bobby tells Christopher about his cancer, and Chris, distraught, stumbles out into the yard. Look! It's Elena, arms open for comfort … and a kiss. Which, of course, Tommy captures on his handy cellphone camera. He promptly sends the (perfectly framed) photo to Rebecca, who rethinks her reluctance to betray Christopher. But he later admits the moment with Elena, and Rebecca tosses the flash drive containing Tommy's vile program into the trash (where, no doubt, Christopher will find it in next week's show).
Bobby and Ann chat in bed; she tells him she knows that J.R. gave John Ross Miss Ellie's journal. Bobby'd already figured that out, and he is sad about J.R.'s resurgence into his bad ol' self.
John Ross' investigator tells him that the witness to the Lobell accident died years ago. Good news, though, he found out who sent that email that destroyed Chris and Elena's romance: Rebecca Sutter. Score one for my predictions from last week!
THOUGHTS: Interesting how Pamela (played by Victoria Principal in the original series) keeps coming up. In the first episodes, Elena said how much she missed Pam. At the lunch with Rebecca, Elena talks about how "Pam just disappeared one day." And then there was that remark from Cliff. Might Pamela be coming back soon? Is she in the same mental institution where Miss Ellie spent time?
Rebecca seems completely uncommitted to whatever treachery she and Tommy have planned. He'll come up with some way of blackmailing her to cooperate.
No Linda Gray??? We vehemently protest. Bring us a J.R./Sue Ellen spat soon, or we will revolt.
BEST LINES: (Mostly J.R.'s, natch!)
J.R. (as he shaves John Ross' throat with a very sharp razor): I loved my daddy, and I respected my daddy, but most important, I feared my daddy. … Were you gonna cut your daddy out of $2 billion dollars worth of oil? EDITOR'S NOTE: As a copy editor, I applaud J.R. for his proper use of "important," rather than the usual error, "importantly."
Tommy (shooting at bottles): It's better when they move.
J.R. (talking to the Venezuelan oil dude, explaining that to know a man, you have to know both his friends and his enemies): My friends are in the statehouse. My enemies are gonna be harder to find.
Bobby (asking about side effects of his new medical regime): It doesn't cause hair loss, does it? Then we're good to go.
Bobby (when Ann says "it'll be fun having J.R. in the house): Sure, it'll be great, having a rattlesnake in the house.
J.R. (on spying a nearly unrecognizable Cliff Barnes in Bobby's office): Time has not been kind to that face, but I do recall the smell of brimstone and crazy.
J.R. (when Ann points a gun at him in the barn): Bullets don't seem to have much of an effect on me, darlin'. (Shout-out to the cliffhanger-of-all-cliffhangers, the "Who Shot J.R." episode from the old series.)
J.R. (scheming with John Ross): Nobody gives you power. Real power is something you take.
Y.O. Steakhouse in the West End gets a call-out from the nursing-home faux doctor, who demands "a blonde and one of those big 'ol cowboy bone-in rib-eyes from Y.O.'s" as his payment for a favor to J.R.
Restaurant where Rebecca/Elena lunch: Is that the French Room at the Adolphus? Help me out here, folks.
Omni Hotel and Bank of America Tower, in all their neon glory, in the scene where J.R. meets with his investigator on a downtown street.
What's that sorta triangular building where Christopher has his office? Anyone?
Rosewood Crescent Hotel, in the scene where J.R. is driving to see Lobell.
Also, from the first two episodes, Lawson Taitte helped me out with some local-actor sightings: "The only Dallas actors I noticed were in the first few scenes of the first episode, but they were fairly prominent there. Linda Leonard was the Park Cities matron who caught the "bad" couple in the locker room and said J.R. would approve. Matt Posey was the old-timer who had some dealings with (I think) John Ross at the fancy bar. And Denise Lee [about to play Gary Coleman in Theatre Three's Avenue Q] was the first nurse in the nursing home."
Send me your Dallas and local-actor sightings via comments, or email me at email@example.com.

The FIVB contributed to this release
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 17, 2011) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team will square off against Italy, France and Korea during pool play of the 2012 FIVB World League, which will have a new format for the Olympic year, the FIVB confirmed during its Sports Events Council meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland on Saturday.
The 23rd edition of the world's premier annual men's volleyball event will be held May 18-July 1 with the Final Round set to take place in Sofia, Bulgaria on July 4-8.
For the first time in the tournament's history, the World League Intercontinental (pool play) Round, still featuring 16 teams across four pools, will be played in four weeks with each country hosting all four teams in their respective pool on one weekend each.
Each pool will play at the same time with the exception of the first weekend, which will take place between May 18 and 27 to fit in with the various continental competitions also taking place at the time. The second weekend will be held June 15-17 ahead of the third on June 22-24 and the fourth on June 29-July 1.
The change in competition format is to accommodate a busy schedule that includes qualification tournaments for the London 2012 Olympic Games and also takes into consideration other sporting events that currently crowd the calendar ahead of the Olympics.
The United States, which is ranked fifth in the world and is the defending Olympic champion, and Italy, an eight-time World League winner, will be the favorites in Pool C as they battle with France and Korea, who both had disappointing campaigns in 2011. All four teams will navigate their campaign with qualification for the London Games, with Italy hosting one of the European Olympic qualification tournaments halfway through the World League.
The U.S. Men had both Italy and France in their pool in 2007, when the U.S. advanced to the Final Round and finished third overall. The U.S. shared a pool with Italy again in 2009 and went 3-1 against the Europeans.
In 2011, the U.S. Men finished second in their pool at World League, advancing to the Final Round where they finished seventh overall.
World League defending champions Russia will take on Japan, Cuba and Serbia in Pool A.
Pool A will begin in Japan before the attention turns to Cuba following a number of World Olympic Qualification Tournaments before the four teams travel to Russia and finally Serbia. While Russia will be preparing for the Olympic Games having already qualified at the 2011 World Cup, Japan, Serbia and Cuba will need to navigate the tournament whilst also taking into consideration their Olympic Games qualification progress at the same time.
Nine-time World League champion Brazil, the silver medalist last year, will have to battle last year's bronze medalist Poland as well as Finland and Canada, with the latter returning to the tournament for the first time since 2007 having beaten Slovakia and Puerto Rico during the qualification rounds.
With both Poland and Brazil already qualified for the Olympic Games, it will be Canada and Finland who will need to stretch their resources across London qualification and the World League. The Canadians will host the opening weekend before the teams travel south to Brazil and then across to Europe for weekends in Poland and then Finland.
Pool D features Germany, Argentina, Portugal and Final Round host Bulgaria in what is expected to be a tight battle. With Argentina featuring in last year's Finals in Gdansk and Germany narrowly missing out, both will fancy their chances for a ticket to Sofia. There is history between Argentina and Portugal also, with the two teams clashing last year, the South Americans coming out on top.
The Finals will feature six teams, with the four pool winners and best runner-up joining Bulgaria.
FIVB Volleyball World League 2012 Intercontinental Round Pools
Pool A – Russia, Serbia, Japan, Cuba
Pool B – Brazil, Poland, Canada, Finland
Pool C – Italy, USA, France, Korea
Pool D – Germany, Argentina, Portugal, Finland

I had all the ingredients of the 11 listed except the baker whey. at 1.36G I did not think that would be an issue. I added an extra .5g of the Bakers dry milk (not sure why Peter, I'm not even sure what these 2 do. I think for browning?)

I took a class with Peter Reinhardt at Johnson and Wales U in Charlotte NC. 80% of that live class was in this video class.I paid $140. Now he's giving it away?? The 20% that's not on the video was worth every penny, though.
Wouldn't you agree that this is the perfect class to give the novice pizza guy some success perhaps even his first time outJOhn
What is the other 20%?

Ulcerative Colitis
Posted by Reviewer2122418 on Feb 18, 2009
My son has ulcerative colitis. This has been a life saver to keep him off of prescription drugs. Give it 8 days to stop the diarrhea and bleeding, it will change your life! Works great in conjuction with Primal Defense and Alive multivitamins to give him plenty of energy. ****2/09 Felt I should add this since I had to take my son off of S. Boulardii after about a year and a half. He began having other allergy symptoms and we found he had developed an allergy to the product itself. Even though it continued to control his Ulcerative Colitis, he began having inflamation in his eyes and a rash on his arms. It says right on the bottle "not for long term use". If you want to find long term help with Ulcerative Colitis and other allergy problems try LDA! It is the only thing that has had a permanent help (http://drshrader.com/).
clostridium difficile
Posted by Reviewer2135872 on Jun 10, 2008
I have been suffering for five months with clostridium difficule, and have taken antibiotics from my doctor a couple of times, but the diarrhea would come back. I did some research on the internet and found that Saccharomyces Boulardii could help with this condition. I started it, and within three weeks it helped a great deal. Last appointment with my doctor I told him what I was taking and he told me that was the very best probiotic I could take for my condition and to keep taking it. I am not completely well, but it is improving a lot. Thanks for the great product. Lola
Posted by Reviewer1898627 on May 13, 2007
I have suffered from candida related problems for my whole life. I have tried many probiotic formulas. This refriderated formula has made a tremendous difference with my health. I am 31 and have had acne problems most of my life. This has made my skin look surprisingly better. I no longer need a dermatologist or antibiotics. I also know that this system has flushed parasites from my intestines as well. Parasites that I didn't even know that I had. I believe that I had hookworms, which caused itching in the soles of the feet. They live in the intestines along with all of the other types of parasites. This product will flush them out. It is a great product. Even if you use it once a day, it is a great help! I wont ever go without it again!
Psoriasis gone!
Posted by Reviewer1589532 on Dec 19, 2010
I've suffered from psoriasis for over 10 years, this is the first thing I've used that has actually worked, plus I feel a whole lot better too! My psoriasis has nearly completely disappeared. Be careful of the detoxing though, for the first few days I felt really bad and had many muscle aches, pains and some headaches. This was just my body detoxing, all good stuff.
Saccharomyces Boulardii
Posted by Reviewer1262347 on Nov 11, 2007
This is a miracle for ending diarrhea from antibiotics and/or for other difficulties of the intestines. It's best to take a complex probiotic with it and Seacure if you have "leaky gut" - spacesin the intestine that let matter through to circulate in the blood stream.
I Can Already See a Difference!
Posted by Reviewer2959749 on Nov 21, 2008
My carpal tunnel syndrome was becoming so severe that I couldn't pick up anything as heavy as a drinking glass without excruciating pain. After just a few weeks the inflamation seems to have subsided greatly, and the constant pain is nearly gone.
Kept My Stomach Happy for 2 1/2 Months in Mexico!!
Posted by Reviewer1221453 on Mar 06, 2009
Prior to my purchase, I had read a scientific study (not some fluffy popular media article) that stated that this probiotic, Saccharomyces, coupled with Acidophilus, makes for a potent combo which greatly increases one's resistance to travelers' stomach ailments. As an archaeologist who travels to Mesoamerica often, I have had my share of stomach issues. Well, this past summer I had no problems whatsoever! With my prior track record, I would have to suggest that these probiotics had something to do with my health this summer. I highly recommend this combo!
Jarrow Formulas, Saccharomyces Boulardii+MOS, 90 Capsules
Posted by Reviewer2306876 on Apr 08, 2008
This is a very good product. It sounds crazy, but I'm using it to manage my dog's inflammatory bowel disease. Since I've been giving it to him, his symptoms are much improved.
A must have
Posted by Reviewer2839888 on May 24, 2008
Successfully helping to control symptoms of long term IBS. Having to take between meals a bit of a hassle but worth it.
Really worked on the Candida
Posted by Reviewer2001922 on Sep 30, 2008
Hard for me to tell if most vitamins & minerals work except with blood work, but I could tell within a week that this was making a difference. Even though I was on other probiotics...this one helped me turn the corner. I also had to be off sugar.

Posted on 03/06/2013 11:26:26 AM PST by EXCH54FE
Hudson County, New Jersey --(Ammoland.com) At approximately 10pm on Thursday night, January 24, 2013, 33-year-old Keith Pantaleon of Jersey City, New Jersey, was in the bedroom of his apartment watching television after a full days work when he heard thumping noises coming from his living room.
Believing that his residence may be being broken into, he grabbed his soft-bound Day Planner case (which also held a lawfully purchased handgun), and cracked open his bedroom door to investigate.
In the center of his living room, he saw a man dressed entirely in dark clothing who had his back towards him. He cracked open his door slightly further and saw near the entrance to his apartment a police officer, his landlord, and an EMT worker.
When the man dressed in dark clothing in the middle of his living room turned around, he saw it was another police officer.
One of the officers immediately ordered Pantaleon to come out of his bedroom. Pantaleon tossed his unopened Day Planner case onto his bed. As he went to close his bedroom door behind him, one of the officers pushed him into his living room. The officer then ordered Pantaleon to face a corner of his living room and handcuffed him. One of the officers allegedly threatened Pantaleon that if he had pulled out a firearm, he would have shot him. Officers asked if Pantaleon owned any firearms. To which, he did not reply.
As one of the officers watched Pantaleon (who remained in custody in Pantaleons living room), the other officer warrantlessly searched Pantaleons bedroom which including opening cabinets and his Day Planner case then demanded that Pantaleon provide the PIN# combination to his safe, which the officer proceeded to open and search.
(Excerpt) Read more at ammoland.com ...
Despite the above, his bail was set at $75,000.00 cash or bond, which the 33-year-old did not have. A friend of Pantaleons, however, brought awareness of his matter on the Internet, which raised funds to hire the law firm of Evan F. Nappen, Attorney at Law PC to represent.
Ve have vays to make you talk.
This case is absolutely ripe for Jury Nullification!
Why were the police even there to begin with?
Why didn't you post the whole article?
I'd rather hear the rest of the story first. Seems completely unjust from that account ... but that was written by his lawyer, so I wouldn't take it for gospel.
So the police barge into his apartment to fix the heater? Unbelieveable.
Black people are not allowed to own guns in Chris Christie's New Jersey.
That should be someone's campaign slogan when they run against that big, fat, RINO.
Sue, sue, sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel so terrible that while this is going on, I'm merely preparing myself and my family with food and supplies to last as long as possible. That my one goal is no longer to acquire wealth, but to disappear from the limelight. My family and friends need me, and they need me to be out of jail.
I feel terrible that all I can do is donate a few dollars to this legal fund - When I should be in the streets with a pitchfork, demanding the resignation of the whole system. I should be shoulder-to-shoulder with patriots demanding the resignation of all who have usurped our fine country.
But I'm too busy ensuring my freedom for the safety and security of my own family. And this is becoming too much to bear.
Because this man, based only on the statements in this article, has a story so utterly important that he should have a crowd of people ready to fight for him. As far as what may lie beneath the story - Not many people know. But if this article is wholly accurate, then I should be in the streets ready to fight for his cause.
Firewall or a proxy? If it's just a proxy you can often just turn it off in your browser.
The police, the prosecutors, the system, will be able to go after this man as hard as they can, spend all the tax dollars they can, do whatever they want, and in the end, if they get him then they get him, if they don't get him, then they still continue on with no repercussions, no firings, no loss of pensions or any change or cost, they just keep showing up for work and going home when their shift is over.
He has already paid dearly, is paying dearly now, and will be paying dearly for some time to come, perhaps for many years, and the best that he can hope for, is that he isn't completely convicted and sentenced above and beyond this portion of the ordeal that he is currently immersed in.
"On the night in question, Pantaleons upstairs neighbor allegedly complained to police about the landlord providing insufficient heat. The boiler for the apartment building is adjacent to the kitchen area of Pantaleons residence. Police apparently insisted that the landlord open Pantaleons residence on their behalf despite the extremely late hour and lack of consent by Pantaleon."
The article doesn't identify any legitimate (IMO) reason for thyis unreasonable act(ion)
Pantalean has an enemy, imo.
Which one of his liberal "friends" ratted him out as a dangerous gun owner? The police had no reason to visit him, let alone search his quarters unless that was the case.
Wish him a successful lawsuit!
And stop living in New Jersey.
Make sure you leave an opus when you leave that oppressive state, as well.
This article is long and is best read on site.
Can you not override the Firewall? a one time exception or whatever.
Yeah the government of New Jersey and ultimately the federal government ... as do we all
That's what all blog-pimps say.
If the law is as the article describes, doesn't Pantelon have a federal civil rights claim against the cops. And Chris Christie? Who's as anti-gun as any governor in the nation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no fanboy for authorities and the abuses they tend to get by with. I believe we need to go back to holding the individual LEO's personally liable when they violate someones rights instead of punishing the taxpayer and giving the cop 2 day paid suspensions.
But I just flushed it down.
So it's illegal to possess handgun ammunition in New Jersey? Including .22?
I understand.
"That's what all blog-pimps say."
Oh come on, give me a break!!
See I can be nice, if I try real HARD!
Where's the NRA? Let's hope they step up to the plate and start spending some of their money to fight these unconstitutional acts and help people like this. The 3rd circuit is loaded with old Reagan and Bush appointees, would be nice to see some legal challenges for a change but these type of unlawful acts by police along with NJ's unconstitutional gun laws seem to go unchallenged.
When I was 11, I had my baseball glove taken from me by a group of older boys in Hamilton Park. While we were cruising the neighborhood in the patrol car looking for them, One of them (there were 2 per car those days)looked back at me and asked why didn't use my knife. I told him I left it at school. he said "Don't forget it again."
Very true story.
To Obama the constitution is officially null and void. He wants to be like is hero - the late Joesph Stalin and Hugo Chavez.
about as much sense as a resident calling the police because your heat isn't working properly.
I guess I could pick up the habit of believing everything I read, especially if it's something I want to hear.
...In possession of firearms while black.
The Never Again Campaign Youtube 0:30
Equal Gun Rights Youtube 0:52
Could it be that the landlord (standing in his livingroom) have provided all the permission the cops needed to invade?
Are renters denied Constitutional rights?
And why was the EMT guy with them?
Why would cops have had him along?
Thank God he didn't have a pop-tart...
Gun Owner Is Arrested After Having His Home Illegally Searched
The NRA, GOA, et al need to get on this story, help this man and make the most of it.
Because the cops knew in advance he had guns and expected a different outcome. It does sound like the guy has an enemy and was set up.
Expect more of such arrests when your friends/neighbors/relatives are told they'll get perks from turning you in. Heil, hussein!
It stinks of a setup to me...
There are horror stories about law-abiding gun owners being mistreated and literally abused over decades by law enforcement in New Jersey that could fill volumes. Hunters simply transporting firearms through the state, even people on layovers at airports with firearms in checked baggage have been given some very bad times in that hellish place. To think how many of our forbears suffered and died for liberty there...
Evan Nappen is the best. He will win the case.
That's right. Be careful about what you tell your liberal 'friends'.
We have been turned into a socialist state where loyalty to the 'party' is all-important and turning neighbors in for crimes against the state are encouraged.
Soon, you will have to read your bible in private or risk arrest.
So, I have some pertinent questions:
- If the police break into my house with no cause, can I shoot them?
- If the make-believe police or criminals break into my house, can I shoot them? The point is, how am I supposed to know the difference?
- If the police start shooting at me for no reason as I drive down the street, can I shoot back?
- If the make-believe police or criminals start shooting at me as I drive sown the street, can I shoot back? Again, the point is, how am I supposed to know the difference?
A true story: As I and four passengers were driving down a street in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, a car in front of us stopped (we were on a ramp, so there was no room to get around them) and two armed guys got out. One stayed in front of our car while the other came to driver's side window and asked to see our passports and car registration. It seemed a bit funny, because the guy in the front kept talking on his cell phone. We showed our documents - the guy gave them back, and they got back in their car and drove away.
Upon telling our in-country hosts about this, they said that, first of all, the men were not police - all police wear uniforms. What they surmised was that the guy in front was talking with a lookout up the road, watching for the real police. They suspected that the guys intended to shoot the driver and steal the vehicle, but, since there were five people in the car, did not want to take that big a risk.
So, in this country, where there are car jackings everyday and we do have plain-clothes police and criminals who dress like the police, how are we, law-abiding citizens, supposed to react in such situations??? If you will recall, two women in CA were shot at by police because their vehicle looked that of wanted murderer Chris Dorner.
If you don't know it's a cop and he's in your house without a warrant, yes, yes you can legally shoot him. But, you better be darn sure you have plenty of outstanding witnesses.
About eight paragraphs which if you read it and can understand it let me know what it says, I live here but hopefully not much longer, Thanks
The following video is what we have to put up with!
What a crock of mindless bullsquat. Why does anyone visit NJ let alone live there?
New Jersey is unAmerican.

If you look at a map of the Korean Peninsula at night, you can immediately understand the impact of global development. Darkness covers nearly the entire North, masking a child malnutrition rate of nearly 50 percent and untold stories of individual suffering and poverty. But over South Korea, you see a country shining with lights, energy and economic activity. Behind that brightness, there is a story of remarkable progress and partnership.
Fifty years ago, South Korea was poorer than two-thirds of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and its people had an average life expectancy of 54 years. But South Korea also had effective development partnerships with nations around the world. In the decades of engagement since, we supported South Korea's agriculture and industrial sectors, helping the country focus intently on an aggressive growth strategy.
Once a major recipient of aid, South Korea today provides assistance to the world's developing countries. Now a vibrant trade partner with the United States, South Korea is currently the eighth largest market for American goods and services, ahead of France and Australia.
Here at home, we are having an ongoing debate about whether America can still afford to be a superpower. Simply put, we can't afford not to be. We know that we are safer, more secure and far better off with more South Koreas than North Koreas in the world.
For that reason, I was pleased to join Secretary Clinton today in deepening the valuable partnership between the United States and South Korea with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on development cooperation. We have committed to working together through policy coordination to increase the impact, efficiency, and focus of our development programs. Secretary Clinton and I also had an opportunity to thank South Korea for hosting the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness that will take place in Busan later this year.
South Korea's emergence demonstrates the ability of effective, meaningful development to help improve lives, expand opportunities and, ultimately, transform nations.

At least not form of exchange, while if done gradually, the impact of the reunification of North and South Korea was going to relieve a lot to expect. That exchanges between people would there be a way to afford the cost of reunification? In northeast Asia, political and military balance is thought to afford a new approach. For the divided North and South Korea .......

Dr. Shah,
If you were to ask me what I thought would promote humanitarian assistance globally with the best bang for the buck, I would say the concept needs a good marketing strategy and some co sponsors to advertize it.
Then you need a theme, and a soundtrack.
Then you go make news with it.
But to captivate the global audience, it's always best to tap into the human condition, preferably with a little good humor.
To create a little universal understanding.
And thus the support in the undertaking.
Dr. Shah, we need to plant enough trees to scrub the air we breath; to "sink" enough carbon; to prevent the kind of climate change that would make your job virtually impossible for the humanitarian catastrophe involved; thus when folks say "go green" we better mean it litteraly.
So I came up with this idea for replacing the red carpet treatment at the White House for the "rolling out the sod" which apparently some round the diplomatic community took a smile to (chuckle).
This is more than a photo op for international forest managment and international agricultural development in sustainable manner;
As the President invites his global peers to go barefoot (the cover art of the Beatles' "Abbey Road" album bein' the theme) for a global PSA on the subject.
It's just one of those things, invest now or pay later.
Least the feet will be in agreement, unfettered with room to wiggle tootsies.
If nations can raise armies to create stability, then raise armies of treeplanters if you want a stable climate.
Trillions of trees per year and three decades from now folks will have turned the corner on deforestation.
It's a low-tech solution, at about .25 cents (US) per tree in the ground and it takes all of fifteen minutes to train someone to do it.
If there's a strategy to getting it done right, and if you want cheap and easy, you have do it on an industrial scale.
(not just for the Guiness Book of Records featuring Pakistan and India's speed-planting title-swapping as a "one off" event)
It is one alternative to war if offering folks a choice in the matter; like the reconcilable taliban.
Thanks for listening,

Perhaps the solution to the superpower crisis can be found in a more diverse arrangement of power. Currently, American power is centralized, meaning that it is based primarily off of American territory, military, and bases.
All support comes from the mainland down to the bases to the nations in need of assistance. That is why when we speak of a "surge" we mean American troops leaving the mainland for XYZ country. A diverse arrangement means increasing the centralized strength of our allied nations and then using them as proxies to maintain our strength.
For example, North Korea has nuclear weapons, and so does China. Neither South Korea nor Japan has nuclear weapons. This means that those two nations are reliant on American power and influence to protect them. South Korea could conceivably hold against an attack by North Korea, but if China joined in, it would fall in a week. Japan's little Defense Force (something America forced restrictions on in revenge after WW2) is not strong enough to defend against China.
This could be remedied by arming both South Korea and Japan with nuclear weapons. It will be difficult to persuade Japan, as they have good reason to be leery of nuclear weapons, but it can be done. China will object and perhaps raise their military preparedness, but they can be diplomatically placated by our wonderful Dept. of State. The facade for giving South Korea and Japan nukes would be to guard against North Korea, which has tested missiles capable of reaching both.
This will force China to either accept the new balance of power, or make a move against North Korea to remove the excuse for having nukes. We must also aggressively assist South Korea in increasing their navy and marine corps. Japan is constititionally prohibited from having any more than the bare minimum needed to protect itself (another form of American revenge) so it cannot do much. We then use South Korea to maintain our control over Upper East Asia, including protecting and maintaining trade with Taiwan. This is diversified power, and it may be the solution to the superpower crisis. Just my take on the issue.

Peloton quality and a crit racer's price.
We have to admit that it took us a bit to distinguish the differences between the R3 and Fi'zi:k's newest creation, the R5 Uomo Shoes. Some points are obvious, like the replacement of kangaroo leather for Microtex on the uppers and a carbon-reinforced nylon outsole instead of the R3's carbon fiber. However, we're more apt to call those differences enhancements to both comfort and value. Now, the shoes feature more ventilation and a rather comparable level of stiffness at a fraction of the cost. And with only a 20 gram difference between the two, it calls into question, how much do we actually love leather and carbon?
So, besides $100, the question begs to be asked, what are the differences between the R3 and R5? Well, it all comes down to materials. Starting at the closure system, Fi'zi:k replaced the Sailcloth fabric found on the hook-and-loop straps R3 with its go-to-material, Microtex. Essentially, this is the same synthetic leather that's found on everything from Fi'zi:k bar tape to the uppers of the R5. In addition to these straps, the R5 features the same micrometric aluminum ratcheting buckle. This system allows you to fully tune the fit and volume of the shoes both pre-ride and on-the-fly. The bottom two straps control the snugness of the fit at the metatarsal and instep areas, and are best adjusted before you hit the road and left alone thereafter.
The ratcheting strap is what dictates the entry and exit adjustments. The loading lever is made from aluminum that's been mated to a stainless steel base. It has a double-click adjustment capability with a full-release mechanism at the base of the lever. Together, the three strap system eliminates any internal foot slippage that depreciates your efficiency. To evenly distribute pressure across the top of the foot, Fi'zi:k made the strap dimensions wide. The strap design allows you to easily lengthen or shorten the strap in order to precisely dial-in the volume of the shoe. Under the closure, you'll find a well-ventilated, nylon mesh tongue. This is another subtle difference between the R5 and R3, whereas the R3's tongue is removable for cleaning and volume-control.
To further control slippage, the R5 Uomo has shaped the heel cup at the aft position of the shoe. This feature keeps the foot in the perfect position on hard up-strokes and while climbing out of the saddle. As a result, you're powering the pedals comfortably and efficiently. At the outsole, you'll see the largest differentiator between the two models. Where the R3 features a multi-layered carbon fiber sole with Tepex and a Mobius rail, the R5 makes use of a carbon-reinforced nylon outsole. And while this keeps costs down, it doesn't inhibit either comfort or power transfer. In fact, the R5 retains a low stack height and a high level of rigidity. But, like the with the R3, Fi'zi:k engineered-in trace flexibility. So, the outsole creates a direct power to the pedals, while allowing enough movement to guarantee comfort after 80 kilometers.
And on the topic of comfort, Fi'zi:k went above and beyond to make the R5 extremely breathable. In fact, you've probably already noticed the high level of mesh ventilation along the upper of the shoe. This feature keeps your feet breathing and comfortable on long summer days in the saddle. And for the insole, Fi'zi:k included its own Superlight Insole. And while its not custom moldable like with the R1, it does incorporate a thoughtful design that assures comfort by absorbing road vibration and supporting your arch system.
The Fi'zi:k R5 Uomo Shoes are available in odd and even sizes ranging from 40.0 to 48.0 and in the colors Black, Black/metal red, and White/silver/grey. Please note that the R5s are only compatible with standard three-hole cleat systems.

Worth it
- Fit: Runs large
I purchased these for a friend and they are really nice shoes but the size was to big. Ended up returning them.
Great Shoes
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These shoes exceeded my expectations. Stiff platform and fits perfect!
Order these one size bigger than normal to be able to use winter socks. good choice!!
Great Looking, Comfortable, No Stiffness
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I race road bikes, and train at least 6 days a week on the bike.
I have had these shoes approximately 2 years now, and were purchased to replace my LG shoes. They are lovely looking shoes (in black with red accents), are easily the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. My only gripe with them is the non-existent stiffness. May be this is the result of the added comfort, and I shouldn't have expected a stiff AND comfortable shoe at this price point?
Just wish manufacturers would provide us (the customers) with a comparison across their product range in areas such as stiffness and comfort.
Great Intermediate Shoe
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These shoes are great. Especially at this awesome discounted price. The size chart posted wasn't right. I went through a couple pair and ended up with a 44.5 which shows a US 11 on the box.
Great shoes at the discounted price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had these shoes for about 3 months now and probably put around 500 miles on them already. My initial impressions upon opening the box was that they are aesthetically pleasing. Even the shoebox was very nice (I still have the box and store my shoes in it)!
When I put them on for the first time they felt like they weren't a great fit. The top strap is adjustable and I had to get it to where it I felt like my feet were pretty cinched in tight (I have flat feet). Eventually I broke the shoes in and they felt a lot more comfortable than they did when they were new.
The breathability is amazing! I ride in Arizona so having good airflow is extremely important. The lateral sides of the shoes are basically mesh but the medial sides of the shoes are all leather.
Overall I'm very pleased with the shoes. I would've like to have gotten a cloth bag to store the shoes in (I mean if you're going to pay full price of $180 it should at least come with one) but I paid $90 dollars for these. And for $90 I am completely satisfied with the shoes. However, I would not pay full price for these because I feel like they're not worth that amount.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I recently purchased the Fi'zi:k R5 Uomo and could not be more excited. My initial impressions of the R5 have been pretty positive. I was super stoked to find that shoes fit true to size. Like most consumers, I was a bit nervous after reading a couple different reviews that had concerns about the fit. But, after throwing these bad boys on I was relieved to find that they fit properly. Because these are a recent purchase I have not had a chance put shoes through their paces on any long rides but once do I will be updating this review. Stay Tuned Folks!
Do these shoes fit a wide foot?
I have the same question about width
Top shoes - love them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Top shoes - love them. I've been using these now for 4 months and have enjoyed them far more than my Shimano shoes. No hot spots and plenty stiff enough for me. Plus they look great. Quality is very good at this price - Highly recommended.
Average - Not too impressed.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I'm giving these shoes an average rating. The fit was ok, I could tell they were breaking in a bit after a few miles of riding. I have a wider foot and these were ok with a normal thin cycling sock. I was disappointed in the sole – they felt very squishy to me. Note that my last pair had a carbon fiber sole and was very stiff. I realize now that a stiff sole is definitely a must-have for me. I returned them to purchase something with a wider footbed and stiffer sole.
Not sure what others are talking about..
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Purchased these shoes a couple weeks ago when they were on sale. They were just over $70, and for that price I can't complain. Even if i were to have paid full price, i still wouldn't complain. Between my running shoes, casual shoes, boots, etc. I average a sz. 46. I ordered a 46, and they fit wonderfully. I have average-high arches in my feet, and average or maybe slightly above average width; and again, they fit great. The heel is comfortable, the sole is stiff with ample padding, the toe isn't too narrow and is easily made wider or narrower with the toe strap, and for a <$100 shoe, they are well made. Its been 35C+ the past few weeks, and with a thin cycling sock these shoes breathe well and don't have any hot spots.
Would the R1's fit better? would they be more well-made? would they be more comfortable and breathable? Maybe. But they also cost $400. These shoes were less than $75 and they do they job just fine.
Sizing chart is wrong
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I ordered these in a 43 which chart said was a US 9.5. Inside the shoe they are clearly marked US 9. I sent them back They also were not impressive in construction .
Please don't buy these...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Made the mistake of purchasing these. What an uncomfortable pair of shoes (many other verbs could be added before uncomfortable). The pair I received were extremely uncomfortable (yes I said it again) with hot spots forming small fires after an hour ride. There was also a major "bump" in the inside leather that caused horrible pain on my toes. No arch support and the sole flexes way to much. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THESE. I repeat DO NOT BUY THESE. Purchased the R1's and even my initial 1st try on they are infinitely more comfortable. Did I Say don't buy these. There, you've been warned!
Size Runs small
Great looking shoe....unfortunately the run really small. I would guess about a full size too small.
Worst Shoe Ever....
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
While these shoes have a great look and style the R5's, which are the lower-end of the Fizik line have the worst fit on the planet. I have an older pair of R2's and the fit with them is nothing more than perfect. No hot spots and they run cool for so much leather. But these R5's are tight in the toe and sloppy in the heel. I thought they were broken when I first put them on. Stick with the better Fizik shoes.

Nvidia Corp. this week announced the release of Nvidia Parallel Nsight software, the industry's first development environment for graphics processing unit (GPU) -accelerated applications that work with Microsoft Visual Studio. The company has also released CUDA Toolkit 3.1, an update to its CUDA software development kit (SDK).
"With more than six million developers, Visual Studio is one of the world's most popular development environments for Windows-based applications and services. By adding functionality specifically for GPU Computing developers, Parallel Nsight makes the power of the GPU more accessible than ever before," said Sanford Russell, general manager of GPU Computing at Nvidia.
Visual Studio developers can now use Parallel Nsight to debug CUDA C/C++, or DirectCompute applications on the GPU using the same familiar tools and techniques as on the CPU. Parallel Nsight also provides the analysis tools that give developers the information required to achieve the highest levels of GPGPU application performance. Nvidia Parallel Nsight software supports Windows HPC Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Vista, which works closely with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Professional edition.
"By integrating GPU computing into Visual Studio, Nvidia's Parallel Nsight is transforming the way GPU-based parallel computing applications are developed for Windows," said David Rich, director, technical computing at Microsoft Corp.
Parallel Nsight also represents the premier environment for graphics development, delivering the DirectX 11 tools required by graphics developers to quickly and efficiently develop today's top game titles and visual computing applications. Parallel Nsight provides several specific features for graphics developers. The Graphics Debugger allows developers to debug all HLSL graphics shaders directly on the GPU. The Graphics Inspector allows real-time examination of DirectX rendering calls and GPU pipeline state to craft optimal GPU code, and Pixel History shows all operations that affect a given pixel, helping developers to quickly identify rendering errors and to create optimal rendering code. In addition, Parallel Nsight Analyzer allows OpenGL developers to optimize applications by presenting OpenGL API trace information on a timeline correlated with other GPU and CPU events.
High performance computing (HPC) developers in fields such as oil and gas, bioscience and finance, are increasingly tapping the massively parallel processing capabilities of GPUs and Windows HPC Server 2008 to achieve significant performance increases in their work. The Parallel Nsight connects these worlds, providing the professional tools required to develop and deploy HPC cluster applications.

Norma,It is interesting that the kitchen manager mentioned the possibility of using brown sugar in addition to the molasses. Yesterday, after I made and tasted the pizza, I thought to use brown sugar next time in addition to molasses and balancing their amounts as best I can to achieve the desired end product. When I was at the supermarket recently and noting the dizzying array of sugar products, the brown sugar products were described as natural products using pure cane sugar, etc. I was always of the impression that molasses was added to refined white sugar to make brown sugar but at least the brown sugar is not a "refined white sugar". Rather, it might be a "refined brown sugar" and, as such, would pass muster. It would also add more molasses. The vitamin that was mentioned could be the Vitamin E. Vitamin E is stripped out of flour as it is being milled as well as most of the other vitamins, including the B vitamins. The flour is later enriched to add back the B vitamins but not the Vitamin E. I have never seen a flour that is enriched with Vitamin E. I studied the specs of all of the GM flours and did a search on this a while back and came up completely empty, with almost no hits. The Vitamin E is principally in the wheat germ. However, if the wheat germ is defatted, or possibly if it is ground into a powder and heated as a result, there is a loss of the Vitamin E. As was discussed before, it is then possible to add a synthetic Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol acetate) back into the wheat germ to replace the Vitamin E that was lost. Peter
I was able to gauge the color of the MMs dough balls, compared to what I have been making. My last attempt was about the closest in color in the dough ball and finished crumb. The color of the dough balls at MMs did look a little darker than a brown coffee filter. The pizza I brought back home also was a 10 pizza. I want to reheat one slice today for myself, give one slice to my mother, and also do something with one slice for Steve. What do you suggest I do with the slice for Steve to preserve it for Tuesday? The taste of the crumb in the rim wasnt as sweet as I thought it would be. It only had a tiny bit of sweetness. Some of my attempts were much sweeter in the finished pizzas. The only thing I could taste in the crust was molasses. The slice did have a chewiness to it, and even after it was just baked had a droop. The bottom crust wasnt real crisp. The slice could be folded right away as can be seen in the pictures. There wasnt any doughiness that I could detect in the slice. As I said the color of the crumb was lighter. I ate two slices, and my daughter also ate two slices and we both agreed that my attempts werent like a real MMs pizza in the amount of sweetness in the crust as my last few attempts. There is something about their crust that is something different, but I cant put my finger on what the difference is. My last attempt did have almost the same amount of chewiness. As I said in my last post, I now wonder if we have the right hydration, and maybe if it needs to be lowered a little after watching how I though the dough looked and handled. I still cant understand how light the crumb is in taste and texture, and was how that is achieved. As can be seen in the pictures of the crumb, it was light in texture. They were using the Grande low-moisture part skim shredded mozzarella. I tried to get a better picture of it, but didnt want them to see that I was trying to take a picture of the cheese. The sauce just had a good taste, and didnt taste sweet at all. I will have to taste the sauce again on a reheated slice. The tomato sauce did taste very fresh.I dont know what to tell you about glaring or what we might be missing in trying to clone the MMs pizza, because I wouldnt know what to do to try and make the pizza the same as MMs. Maybe you will get some ideas from my posts. As I posted the pie I tasted almost tasted like it came out of a WFO. I cant understand that with the long bake. I see you are also having problems in deciding how to change your dough formulation.
If you can think of a formula to set-forth with brown sugar and molasses, I would be willing to try it for this Tuesday. I knew molasses is added to white sugar to make brown sugar, because of our use of brown sugar in our Caramel Corn business. I know from adding brown sugar and corn syrup together from making the caramel corn, the taste is sweet when the caramel corn is finished, but not that really sweet, if that makes any sense. I asked how the crumb of the MMs pies became so nice and light brown in color, and the kitchen manager said it was from the molasses. I find you comment about Vitamin E interesting. What do you suggest to do about that?Edit: I didn't have time to search, but is there any meaning from what the sign that MM's had posted on the one door that said Dough Boys Enterprises LLC? Is there anything you want me to look for in the whole pie I brought home? It is still whole.
Norma, First things first. To preserve the slice of MM pizza for Steve, you might want to immerse it in embalming fluid from a local mortuary. No, just kidding. I think I would freeze it. The slice might be a bit soggy upon defrosting, but if you reheat it in your deck oven at market, that might drive off some of the moisture and let Steve at least taste the crust and its relative sweetness. On the matter of crust sweetness, the MM pizza I had in Florida had a distinct sweetness. Maybe it is because I use so little sugar in my diet that I have a lower threshhold for detecting sweetness. It drives me crazy when I pick up sugar in products where I don't think that it should even be present, or to the degree that it appears to be present in the products. As you may know, when food processors got rid of fat and some of the salt in their products, they replaced them with sugar and other sweeteners. In the case of MM, it is also possible that using messy liquid molasses, as the MM rep told me is used, that the manufacturing process in the MM commissary has variations in molasses from dough batch to dough batch. The reason I asked you about the dough management protocol at the MM DC location is because I wanted to see if they were doing something that might reduce the sweetness in the finished crust. In one of my first experiments in this thread, I used 7% molasses (Grandma's Mild Flavor molasses), 2% oil and 54% hydration. And no other sweetener. The "adjusted" hydration to compensate for the water content of the molasses was 55.54%. When I added the 2% oil, I got an "effective" hydration of 57.54%. However, while I thought that the finished crust was delicious, principally because of the molasses flavor, the crust (and the dough from which it was made) was much darker than an MM dough and the dough was hard to open up to form a skin because it was stiff. That is what led me to increase the hydration. When I later switched over to the Grandma's Original molasses, which is a first boil product, I was able to use more of that molasses without adversely affecting the dough and crust coloration because it is a lighter molasses. Whether the samples of liquid molasses that you will soon be receiving allow you to use more of those products remains to be seen despite the admonition that were given to you by the lady at Domino's Specialty Ingredients. My thinking at this point is to drop back or even eliminate the added turbinado (raw cane sugar) and stick with the liquid Grandma's Original molasses but use more of it, mainly for the complexity of the sweetness of the molasses as opposed to the somewhat cloying sweetness of the raw cane sugar. Maybe we have been looking for love sweetness in all the wrong places. On the matter of the tenderness and moistness of the finished crust, November once indicated that oil and sugar both have the capacity to retain moisture although oil is better at retaining moisture before the dough is baked and sugar is better at retaining the moisture during baking (see Reply 1 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,5043.msg42739/topicseen.html#msg42739). I had lowered the amount of oil that I first started playing around with to make the finished crust less breadlike and more dense and chewy. I think I would rather increase the amount of molasses rather than increasing the amount of oil, even if it means a darker dough and crust. Peter
I have one other observation I have wondered about since I was on the way home last evening. I saw the pie makers open the dough for my pies, dress my pies, and watched them baked in the oven. I saw them take my pies out of the oven, but than sat down to wait for my pies. When the pie maker removed the pies from the oven, I didnt watch how the melted butter with garlic was brushed on, or how the Parmesan cheese was applied. They take the pies back somewhere to do that. It makes me wonder how the pies rim then gets so brown and glossy looking, when it wasnt like that when they first took it out of the oven. None of the pies coming out of the oven has that brown glossing looking rim. I now wish I would have tried to watch how they did that if I could have watched. Did anyone else watch that process when they were at a MMs pizzeria?
Norma,I recall seeing a couple of MM videos where there was a fellow next to the oven who applied the garlic butter to the crust and dusted it with grated cheese. I seem to recall in one of the videos that the garlic butter was in a clear container. I tried to find that particular video but there are so many MM-related videos that I couldn't find it even though I thought it was referenced in this thread. However, I did find this video, at , that also shows a fellow next to the oven putting something on the pizza with a brush, with a cheese shaker in the same general work area. I couldn't make out what he was dabbing on the pizza. After we struggled trying to find out why the crusts were not sweet, I even wondered whether the MM workers who made the MM pizza I had put something like honey on the rim so that the grated cheese would stick better and not get absorbed into the garlic butter yet make the crust taste sweet. To test out this theory, I put some honey on the rim of the crust of one of my test pizzas. The rim was sweeter but it was not the same kind of sweetness I remembered. Maybe they are putting something like regular sugar or a sugar syrup in the garlic butter or in another container. That might give the rim the glossiness you mentioned. The use of cornmeal on the top of the skin is shown in the video with Dustin at .Peter
I am back here are the few pics I got from the new Mellow Mushroom location in Hilton Head Island SC
Norma,Sometimes it makes sense to take a break from the action. But if you are interested in trying out another MM clone, I am willing to assist. I would just need to know what ingredients you want to use. I have been assuming that you have been using an unbleached high-gluten flour but I couldn't recall whether you had used the Grandma's Original molasses yet.Peter
Yes Norma I detected a sweetness in the crust that I had a hard time to put my finger on the taste. Cake Yes My crumb and texutre was very similar to yours quite tight, small, Cake like ? not High gluten chewy from what I remember. I am thinking they do not do a long fermentation which does not give it time to develope much flavor. Maybe that is why they put the cheese on the rim and stuff other flavors in there? I think the sauce had a different flavor as well. I tried to get a suace only bite to see if I could get the tomatoe but there were alot of flavors spices going on in the sauce as well. I do prefer a good NY style bit thinner, or cracker but i dont know many chains that are making anything I could eat on a regular basis . I only tried this because the locals said go and I wanted to see the buzz about this thread. I liked the overall taste and as far as chains go I feel it is very good. They put out alot of pies I counted 10 people in the kutchen 4-5 on the full length pizza table. I am home now and guess what I am making 100% caputo last night Pizza Napolitano tonight miss it after 2 weeks and its beautiful outside !good luck with the cloning I will be watching now for sure John

New In This Update
Human Testing
To date, 1 test was positive, 24 were negative and 23 are pending.
New Jersey's first WNV positive case of the season is a 72-year old Bergenfield woman. Testing on serum and spinal fluid samples completed Aug. 29 by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services laboratories were consistent with the WNV diagnosis. Final confirmation of this case will be made by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within a few weeks. The patient was admitted to Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck at the end of July with symptoms consistent with WNV infection, including a fever greater than 100 degrees, muscle weakness and malaise. While her mental status has improved, she continues to experience weakness in her legs and is receiving rehabilitative therapy.
Human testing for WNV is being conducted at the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services' Public Health and Environmental Laboratory in Trenton and at public health labs in other states. Testing results are sent to the CDC for confirmation.
Doctors of patients with symptoms that do not meet WNV testing criteria have the option of sending samples of their patients' blood to private laboratories for analysis using the St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE) screening test. Since SLE and WNV are closely related viruses, a WNV case will most likely react to a SLE test. The department has not been notified of any positive SLE tests to date
Crow, Hawk & Falcon Testing
To date, 1,229 birds, mostly crows, have been accepted for testing by the Department of Health and Senior Services' Public Health and Environmental Laboratory. Of those tested, 744 crows found in 20 counties have been confirmed positive for the presence of WNV. Positive crows have been found in Atlantic (2), Bergen (63), Burlington (76), Camden (151), Cape May (7), Cumberland (2), Essex (21), Gloucester (14), Hudson (15), Hunterdon (5), Mercer (6), Middlesex (122), Monmouth (119), Morris (20), Ocean (5), Passaic (32), Salem (4), Somerset (28), Union (49), and Warren (3) Counties.
The department has also received 728 bird samples (mostly crows) deemed unsatisfactory for testing and has been notified of 896 dead or ill birds (mostly crows) not submitted for testing due to their condition.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife, Department of Environmental Protection, is also conducting avian and small mammal testing for WNV. To date, the division has tested 36 animals (31 hawks, 1 falcon, 2 owl and 2 gray squirrels), with 27 negative results and 9 tests pending.
Mosquito Testing
To date, 224 mosquito pools collected in Atlantic (8), Bergen (36), Burlington (9), Camden (39), Cape May (3), Hudson (2), Hunterdon (6), Mercer (1), Middlesex (21), Monmouth (45), Morris (11), Ocean (4), Passaic (21), Salem (2), Somerset (7), Sussex (7), Union (14), and Warren (8) Counties have tested positive for the presence of WNV. In total, 2,709 mosquito pools have been tested.
The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine-North's testing lab has tested 97 mosquito pools collected on military property in New Jersey. All tests to date have been negative for the presence of WNV.
