Power Team Lures Craw D'oeuvre 8pk
Just because it's a tough day on the water doesn't mean the fish aren't there and can't be caught - they're just a little more stubborn. Heavy fishing pressure, cold front conditions, blue bird skies - the list goes on and on, but this is exactly when downsizing from a meal-size bait to the Power Team Lures Craw D'oeuvre is the key to unlocking their jaws. With its compact size and subtle action, this little creature was specifically designed to produce when the going gets tough. Fish the Craw D'oeuvre on a jig head, Texas-rig it, hop it on a shaky head, or use it as a trailer on your favorite jig. Just lighten your line, slow your presentation, and let the Power Team Lures Craw D'oeuvre do the rest.

Comments: Awesome little bait! Great colors and they work great for me Texas rigged or on a shakey head. Green pumpkin blue swirl and kitchen sink have been the best colors for me so far. I just ordered 3 others so we will see how those work.

From: Rob: CO
Comments: used this small craw during a cold front and caught my first fish of the year. the next day caught my biggest fish of the day dragging it on the bottom. action doesn't look like much but the way the craw floats up gets the bass biting. perfect size and action for cold waters or more finesse applications.

From: Mike: Southern Ontario Canada
Comments: these baits are incredible......i have fished for over 40 years and all kinds of tubes, senkos etc........its the first plastic that our fish are literally running with 10-30 feet at a time and holding on. Its almost like they are trying to get away from other competing bass (smallies) and going on a run.
From: Mike: Canada
Comments: these baits are great. Best craw bait on the market. It punches mats very well. And you can also put It on a jig head and throw it for smallmouth cause the claws float. They just look so real smallmouth just cant resist them. But neither can a hungry largemouth. These are just great baits for either
From: Jared: KY
Comments: This bait is fast becoming my new favorite punch bait. The craw D'oeuvre slides through thick cover well and will hold up to 5/0 owner flipping hook. I caught 6 or 7 fish punching mats on one bait last weekend. Caught over 15 total and only used 3 baits. 3 of them were over 4lbs. Will be stocking up on these.
From: Steve
Comments: I'm a fan! Used these at Lopez and picked up 15+ fish in a few hours. Shakey Head, pitching in the brush. I only bought one pack of the Green Pumpkin Lt. Blue and was impressed. Will buy more of Power Team products.

A Jackson, Miss., man with a history of email extortion attempts was arrested Thursday on charges of trying to blackmail the University of Louisville Athletic Association out of $3.5 million in exchange for keeping quiet about a basketball point-shaving scandal.
Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway said Thursday that investigators do not believe any point-shaving scheme at U of L basketball existed.
Thomas E. Ray, 35, was arrested Thursday morning in Mississippi by U.S. Marshals, according to a statement from David Hale, U.S. attorney in Louisville.
According to the indictment, Ray, using the alias "Melinda White," sent an email from his home April 23 threatening the university's athletics reputation unless he was paid $3.5 million. Conway said authorities traced the email seeking the money to Ray's Yahoo! account and Internet protocol address.
"This email was one notch above a Nigerian cousin," Conway said in reference to a common Internet scam.
Ray was convicted in 2005 of two counts of extortion and sentenced to 18 months in prison in a similar extortion case involving Best Buy. In that case, prosecutors said Ray tried to extort $2.5 million from the consumer electronics chain by threatening to expose purported flaws in the company's computer system.
Federal prosecutors said Ray used the name "Jamie Weathersby" to contact Best Buy in October 2003.
In a statement, Louisville athletics director Tom Jurich said he contacted Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway and the NCAA within minutes of reading the email in April.
"We were confident that there was no truth to the accusations made in the communication," he said.
Conway said Ray claimed to be able to ensure the silence of a person in custody with knowledge of a point-shaving scheme. Investigators never found the person Ray referred to, Conway said. No Louisville basketball players were named in the email, Conway said.
Ray could be sent to prison for up to two years and fined up to $250,000. Ray posted a $10,000 bond Thursday and was ordered to appear in Louisville District Court on Nov. 7.

A local ladies club is having a Tea Party soon. No, this isn't the new kind of tea party where politicians stand up and babble on and on. But the traditional Tea Party with real tea, and food.
We often hear the terms High and Low Tea, so let's find out what High and Low Tea is all about. The following text comes from whatscookingamerica.net and gives us a short and concise version of just what "Tea Time" means to them:
History of High Tea - History English Afternoon Tea
High Tea is often a misnomer. Most people refer to afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty, when in all actuality, high tea, or "meat tea" is dinner. High tea, in Britain, at any rate, tends to be on the heavier side. American hotels and tea rooms, on the other hand, continue to misunderstand and offer tidbits of fancy pastries and cakes on delicate china when they offer a "high tea."
Afternoon tea (because it was usually taken in the late afternoon) is also called "low tea" because it was usually taken in a sitting room or withdrawing room where low tables (like a coffee table) were placed near sofas or chairs generally in a large withdrawing room. There are three basic types of Afternoon, or Low Tea:
Cream Tea - Tea, scones, jam and cream Light Tea - Tea, scones and sweets . Full Tea - Tea, savories, scones, sweets and dessert
In England, the traditional time for tea was four or five o'clock and no one stayed after seven o'clock. Most tea rooms today serve tea from three to five o'clock. The menu has also changed from tea, bread, butter and cakes, to include three particular courses served specifically in this order:
Savories - Tiny sandwiches or appetizers Scones - Served with jam and Devonshire or clotted cream Pastries - Cakes, cookies, shortbread and sweets
Historically, High Tea was for the working man. Usually he would work straight through lunch and would be quite hungry when he got home. So immediately dinner was served in the dining room, on the high table, with tea.
I have a cookbook called Aunt Louise's Tea-Time Treats, Old Fashioned Recipes for the Modern Woman by Virginia Lee. Interestingly, Virginia Lee is the pen name of Lois Armes and Virginia H. Oliver. They are the co-authors of the Aunt Louise Mystery Series. As a broadly talented woman Aunt Louise always has favorite foods during her adventures in solving the mysteries. Virginia Lee published this cookbook to give the readers a chance to make some of the delicacies their favorite sleuth was enjoying in print.
Aunt Louise's Tea Time Treats is largely taken from Housekeeping in the Bluegrass-A New and Practical Cookbook first published as a fundraising effort by the Ladies of the First Presbyterian Church, Paris, KY in 1875. Whew, are you all confused yet? In the 1800's southern ladies would often entertain each other with tea parties. The tradition is making a comeback all across America.
One of the delights in this quaint cook book is Benedictine Spread. This recipe was not in the original edition of the book. The mother of one of the contributors worked at Louisville Gas and Electric Company from 1910 to 1917 and would often take lunch at Jennie Benedict's Tea House. She begged for this recipe and it is said that Jennie herself wrote it out on a scrap piece of paper.
And after all of that, we now have this recipe for you. I have updated this so as to be easier for you to prepare, (example: there were no food processors in 1875 or the early 1900s).
Benedictine Spread
1 8oz package cream cheese, room temperature1 med cucumber1 med vidalia onion3 Tbl mayonnaise Salt (if necessary) A few drops of green food coloring One loaf Pepperidge Farm, thin sliced white bread
Peel onion and rough chop, puree in food processor then set in a sieve over a bowl to catch the juice. Peel and seed the cucumber and do the same as with the onion. You may want to force the juice out with a spoon, or you may place the pulp into some cheese cloth and squeeze it out.
Slowly add 1/2 of each juice to cream cheese, whipping thoroughly. Taste, and add more juice if necessary, but remember you do not want the mixture too soft or runny. Mix in the mayo and adjust the salt level. Mix in the green food coloring to the desired shade.
Take each slice of bread, cut off the crusts and roll flat. Using room temp, unsalted butter spread a very thin layer on one side of each piece of bread. Now spread a somewhat thicker (but still thin) layer of the Benedictine Spread on top of the butter and roll up. The butter acts as a moisture barrier to keep the bread from getting soggy. Cut in half and serve on a fancy platter. To add style you can cut each in half on the bias and then trim the ends to match.

Have You Seen the value
Ben Linfoot seeks out the value in Saturday's Paul Stewart Ironspine Charity Challenge Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
- Related Content
It was tough getting home at Cheltenham on Friday and with further rain forecast going into Saturday we could have a similar result to the Paddy Power Gold Cup in Saturday's feature.
Only six horses finished from 18 starters in the Paddy Power, including runner-up Walkon, who is the likely favourite for the Paul Stewart Ironspine Charity Challenge Gold Cup.
He's gone up just 5lb for his fine second to Al Ferof and given that he was 12 lengths ahead of the third, Nadiya De La Vega, you could come to the conclusion that he is fairly treated.
Robert Thornton took the shortest route on Walkon that day, clinging to the inside, and a similar ride could provide a similar result.
He's a worthy market leader, but 5/1 isn't big enough to entice me given his career record suggests that he can decline after his first run of the season.
If he isn't to go off favourite the market leader mantle could be passed to Unioniste who might be very well handicapped at the foot of the weights.
However, I'd worry about his inexperience in a contest as tough and competitive as this one and he's not one I would be rushing to side with at the prices.
Cristal Bonus and Notus De La Tour have claims and I particularly like the latter who might be well handicapped on his novice chase form in Ireland.
Like Cristal Bonus, though, he looks to have found his correct price in the market at around 8/1 after being as big as 12s earlier in the week and there are a couple of much bigger-priced horses with each-way claims that I want to get stuck into.
First, GOLDEN CHIEFTAIN. He won at Worcester on his second start of the campaign in easy fashion, racing prominently before cruising to a 14-length success.
After watching Cheltenham's card on Friday I think you want to be fairly prominent in the early stages and if this horse can rediscover the form he showed at Worcester - form franked by Simply Wings - I think he has an outstanding chance.
Racing prominently could be key to his chances but the soft ground could be ideal too and at 20/1 he's worth chancing back down in trip after his Badger Ales flop.
That run, where he was pulled up, is a concern. But it's factored into his price and though he's done a lot of his running over three miles I think he's better at forcing it over slightly shorter.
I also think it's worth backing HAVE YOU SEEN ME at 50s for Nigel Twiston-Davies.
If his name was a question the answer would be no, not for 611 days, and while such a long absence is a concern, it's less worrying given who his handler is.
Twiston-Davies is very patient with his horses and don't forget Imperial Commander was off the track for almost a year before he ran away with the Paddy Power Gold Cup in 2008.
This horse hasn't got such obvious claims, but he did beat Micheal Flips and Divers, both 140-plus rated horses now, off level weights in a novice chase two years ago and he also ran a cracker off 1lb higher when last seen.
That race was here at Cheltenham where he was beaten a length after leading from the first fence to the last and as I said earlier, such tactics could be advantageous.
He races from 2lb out of the handicap if you include Adam Wedge's claim and while he could probably do with the ground riding slightly quicker, I can't resist him at such a big price given how very well handicapped he could be.

It is our hope that this donation will help make a difference in the work that they're able to do for the people of this community," said ALCO.
With a new assortment of hardware coming into ALCO stores this spring, the company was in a position to liquidate its on-hand supply. "Rather than selling it all at deeply-discounted prices, we felt it would be better for our business and our communities if we found a way to put this product where it would do the most good: in the hands of local organizations who could use these items to serve their clientele," ALCO said.
The donation included items such as light bulbs, smoke detectors, paint, hand tools, plumbing supplies, and basic hardware.

Photo Courtsesy Malwack, CC BY-SA. Anticipation for this Friday's BLS Jobs Report was brewing before the debate, but now it has added an interesting twist after Mitt Romney's successful performance. In September, the private sector added 114,000 mostly healthcare and transportation-related jobs, bringing the unemployment rate to 7.8%--the lowest it has been since President Obama took office. The BLS also revised the job reports for July and August, increasing the previous gains by a net of 86,000 jobs. The Romney campaign was quick to respond to the report, claiming that if the bureau included the number of individuals who have stopped looking for work, the rate would be at around 11%. Romney's well-reviewed campaign performance was followed by dings from fact checkers. Here are some other interesting numbers from this week's debate: An estimated 67.2 million people tuned into the debate. (Compared to 52.4 million for the first 2008 Obama-McCain debate, and 111.3 million for the last Super Bowl.) President Obama spoke for about three minutes more than Mitt Romney. Debate moderator Jim Lehrer asked only six topic-distinct questions in the 90-minute debate. If it is any indication of the tenor of the debate, the word "CROSSTALK" appears 26 times in the debate transcript. (CROSSTALK is when people speak over each other and what they say can't be heard…a word we think also aptly describes much of the debate in this polarized election year.) Big Bird Battle. Mitt Romney's promise to cut the subsidy for PBS caused many to come to the defense of Big Bird. When pressed for specifics regarding his plans to cut spending, Romney said: "I'm sorry, Jim, I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I like PBS. I love Big Bird." Sesame Street's producers were quick to note that the show receives little public funding and that Big Bird would likely survive budget cuts. PBS CEO Paula Kerger said the loss of PBS would be "devastating" to the public. PBS received $444 million from the federal government in 2012, or about 0.038% of the federal budget. The perceived lackluster performance of President Obama in the debate sent commentators on a quest for possible explanations. Among the most interesting are that: he was not properly prepared, Mitt Romney was particularly well prepared, and that historically, sitting presidents haven't done well in the first debate. Romney continued to attack President Obama's foreign policy record earlier this week, both on the campaign trail and in a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed, though the topic did not come up in the debate, except briefly when the topic of military spending was broached. Foreign policy will come up in the vice presidential debates and in the subsequent presidential debates. Meanwhile, Romney will deliver a major foreign policy address on Monday in Virginia. Pennsylvania's voter ID law will not be enforced this election, after a successful injunction by the NAACP and others. Bias against Romney? Ben Stein and others now take for granted the claim that "the media" dislike Romney/Ryan and like Obama. The "Obama Phone." Earlier this week, the Drudge Report led with an interview of a woman who said that she would be voting for Obama in November because he gave her a free phone. It is clear the video was intended to feed into the narrative that President Obama is buying votes with hand outs. Turns out, the universal service program dates back to the 1930s and has been expanded under both Democratic and Republican presidents. Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown distanced himself from Romney and the rest of the Republican party in a debate on Monday against challenger Elizabeth Warren.. Mitt Romney said Monday that he would allow immigrants granted a two-year deferral under Obama's policy directive to remain in the United States if elected. MC Switchboard One word: debate! This week, Miller Center scholars and staff weighed in on the presidential debate and provided historical background. In advance of the debate, Russell Riley and Barbara Perry authored "For Obama and Romney, dos and don'ts from past presidential debates," which appeared in the Washington Post last week. Presidential scholar Michael Nelson provided ten tips on RTT earlier this week for watching the debate and Carah Ong gave a post debate round-up. Monica Gray and Bryan Craig live tweeted the Presidential debate on Wednesday night. Check out the Miller Center's Twitter feed and follow us @Miller_Center.

An episiotomy is a surgical cut your doctor may make in the muscular area between your vagina and anus just before delivery to enlarge your vaginal opening. Doctors generally perform episiotomies to speed delivery and prevent the vagina from tearing, especially during a first vaginal delivery. Episiotomies used to be a routine part of vaginal deliveries and many experts believed that the clean incision of an episiotomy would heal more easily than a spontaneous tear. However, a large number of studies over the last 20 years have disproved this theory and the number of episiotomies is declining.
An episiotomy may be medically necessary if:
The most common type of episiotomy in the United States and Canada is the midline, second degree episiotomy, which runs in a straight line midway between the vagina and anus. Mediolateral episiotomies, when the cut runs diagonally to one side or the other, are more common in other parts of the world. The most traumatic, and rare, episiotomies are fourth degree and extend through the rectum.
Approximately 40 percent of vaginal deliveries in the United States include an episiotomy. Although between 1980 and 1998 the rate of episiotomies in the United States dropped 39 percent, it is still one of the most frequent surgical procedures performed on women in the United States.
Doctors once thought that an episiotomy would prevent deep, ragged, uncontrolled tears in the perineum. However, research has shown that episiotomies often cause, not prevent, tears. And women with spontaneous tears generally recover in the same or less time and often with less pain and fewer complications than those with episiotomies. Women who get episiotomies are more likely to end up with serious, deep tears that go close to or through the rectum. Tears that go through the rectum result in more perineal pain after delivery, require a significantly longer recovery period, are more likely to weaken the pelvic floor muscles, result in anal incontinence, and cause more discomfort when sex is resumed.

3 demon-splitter swords for 3 sword style hmmm im going with that
Shodai Kitetsu
Nidai Kitetsu
Sandai Kitetsu
I still like the idea of Zoro getting an original sword, and he himself giving it the reputation of the "13th Saijō Ō Wazamono".
I think he can become a fairly good legend becoming the only one to wield the 3 cursed swords. Plus shodai is a saijo o wazamono and nidai is a o wazamono making them very good swords my guess is your right if he gets either sandai will be gone since its only a wazamono, but that is not Zoros personality. Remember how happy he was to test the curse, I think he would be happy all three "uniques" swords
i think that zoro will eventually find kitetsu,(the guy who made the cursed swords) and ask him to reforge sandai kitetsu to be evn more poweful than shodai kitetsu. tbh i dont care either way if he keeps shuusui or not cus it hasnt really done much anyways.
this thread has not been posted in for two years that is because the topic at this point in time is irrelevant and out dated because zorro may not get more swords. remember this threads fade in to the black for a reason.
It's still a relevant question in my opinion... But I'm a little biased.
You don't think that there's a possibility that Zoro will find/need a new sword in the new world?
No. One sword is for the girl that died outside of battle after they promised that one of them would be the worlds greatest swordsman. One sword is for the worlds greatest swordsman who died outside of battle. The final sword is a sword that belongs to no one but him. All three swords are very significant to Zoro at this point.
I Love You!
Holyshit Roshi is still alive! What are the chances the thread starter dude comes back aswell ! As for the topic I think Zoro pretty much set in stone with his swords right now the only one I can see him replacing next it's his demon sword kitetsu but I doubt it since supposedly that's the source of his Asura attack even though I think it has a higher chance of being his own haki.
I didn't realize that there was a rumour that I was dead. I've been living without an Internet connection for a while. It's put a hamper on my posting.
With Zoro on Kuraigana Island, it seems like the kind of place where he might find a cursed weapon (i.e. Shodai Kitetsu)?... Probably not.

- Features
- About the brand
It is a unique way to cover resistant gray hair, and bring vibrancy and intensity to all hair coloring. Gray Magic:
What's Gray Magic?
Gray Magic is a hair coloring additive that is formulated to allow the haircolorist to adequately cover gray hair and make colors last longer.
Why does Gray Magic work?
Gray hair is the result of the loss of red and yellow color pigment. Gray Magic adds concentrate red and yellow with wetting agents to replace the lost color pigment and moisture, to "lock-in" hair color.
Why is Gray Magic effective on covering resistant gray hair?
The loss of red and yellow, and the cuticle being very close to the cortex (preventing penetration of color) are factors of resistant gray hair. Gray Magic mixed with color and peroxide will lift the cuticle away from the cortex, allowing penetration. When color is then applied superior coverage is obtained, and up to 90% absorption of hair color.
Why does Gray Magic downplay green tones?
Most of the manufactured ash tone hair colors contain the blue and yellow. Green is the result of blue and yellow. Gray Magic adds the third primary color, resulting in a neutral blend of blue, yellow and red.
Can I add Gray Magic to Loving Care and other "non peroxide"
Definitely YES. Gray Magic was formulated with wetting agents which allow it to be mixed with any "non peroxide" color.
Would I add Gray Magic to a temporary rinse?
NO! Temporary rinse merely coat the cuticle. Gray Magic would enter the cortex and be in direct conflict with rinse.
Can Gray Magic be mixed with Unred and Gold Magic?
Yes! Gray Magic is compatible with ALL colors and ALL additives.
Will Gray Magic speed up or slow down processing?
No! When using Gray Magic in the formula continue with your usual technique and timing.
Mix your regular hair color formula with peroxide. Then add 10 drops of Gray Magic for every ounce of color. DO NOT ADD extra peroxide! Mix well into formula.
Ardell offers several lash styles to fit a consumer's mood, personality and lifestyle. Preferred beauty enhancers for millions of women, including makeup artists and Hollywood A-listers.
Good AdditiveI just learned about this product from my colorist. I do my own roots and only go to her about every 3 months. I ordered them and I find that it does help to cover the gray. I add 9 drops when I do my roots and that seems to be a sufficient amount.Aug 8, 2012AleixHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

This Stuff Works!I began using this on the advice of a salesperson at my local public beauty supply store. I had told her that henna doesn't stick well on my gray hair. I told her that I can't use regular hair dye because I have toxic overload and that it made my joints hurt. She recommended this to make the henna stick.
It works.
It doesn't make my scalp burn, and it doesn't make me sick. What I use it with is plain, organic henna, either cream, powder or Hennalucent, which is henna and a soy conditioner, and either way, it makes your hair absorb the henna better. I can't tell that it has any odor, as all I can smell is the henna.
I think that it's a really good deal. I color my hair about once a month and a bottle lasts me nearly a year.Apr 27, 2012Jan / Nashville, TNHAIR TYPEGrey / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Grey Magic..my Best Hair BuddyI've been using GM for 20yrs. I have resistant grey hair. I use it with whatever permanent color I choose and either 20 or 30 developer. My haircolor range is from dark mahogany to light coppery red. I love this product!

The Gray BlockerI am African American and have had Blonde hair for the past 30+ years, I use 40 volume peroxide and approximately a 1/4 packet of booster and a fabulous color. Approximatel 7 years ago I spotted Gray Magic in the beauty supply, as I was just beginning to gray I thought I would give it a try, I now add the Gray Magic to my concoction and the results are absolutely wonderful.

So Worth It!I've been using this over 5 years. I use 10 volume developer with a dye for the beauty supply. I add the 10 drops per ounce of color just like the box says. It penetrates the grey and doesn't fade! I love it! I do take care of my hair though. So if you flat iron/blowdry/hot roll your hair daily, you may not have the same luck.Feb 19, 2010Ana / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEBlack

Worked Well With Colorsilk 7a Med. Ash BlondeWas a little skeptical because of my 20% gray hair on my crown, but Gray magic worked rather well. It did turn the haircolor mixture darker but the color turned out the same . I hope it last long. Also I used only 5 drops per oz. and had color on 20 minutes only.Nov 4, 2009Eileen / Covina, Ca

Grey Magic Is Just ThatBeing a hair stylist myself I always like to try things on myself before my clients, and have just completed the task....So mixed up my colour which is a very dark brown & plum shade, then added the Grey magic. Firstly I was shocked it was a dark colour, and once mixed with my tint "horrified" when it turned bright orange.....But I still applied to my hair, and was getting worried as it stayed orange for 10-12mins, where after my normal plum shade re-appeared. Happily after the required time, rinsed, dryed and was amazed those little resistant stubbourn grey hairs around my hairline which generally don't seem to cover well, have actually gone with using Grey Magic.....So I think it actually does the job it says it does and would definately use again on myself. I would also use it on my dark haired clients, but would be worried to use on the fair haired one's as I think me applying a bright orange product on their normally light hair shade would be a bit scary for them, unless they agreed to let me try. On the whole so far I think it is a worthy product, but will interested to see how my colour lasts over the grey hairs in the next couple of weeks. Just one poor point is that its a shame they dont warn you on the bottle that your normal colour will change to a different colour for a while, but I suppose really if I had thought about it the product puts back yellow & red pigments which is why it works!!Aug 28, 2009Allison South / Brighton; East Sussex; UKHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair

Mystery Ingredients?I can not find the ingredients on the label or web site. There is a warning about dont use near eyes, as can cause blindness and skin irritation. Sounds like it might be the very dangerous ingredient p-phenylendiamine. Which the FDA banned and removed from market in 1938 in all products applied to the skin except hair dye which must be 5% or less. It makes dyes last longer and was used in lash products that caused blindness. Its now reappeared in henna tatoo to make them last longer, but dermatologists are seeing skin rashes and blisterings. My sister had to stop dyeing her hair, due to blistering and swollen eyes. Be very careful.Jun 27, 2009Ljv / California

Grey MagicMy grey hair just stopped absorbing hair color. I decided to use 40 volume with my color and added the grey magic according to directions. Im happy to report that there was no residual grey at all and I have some of the most resistent grey on the planet. I should add that my hair is in pretty good shape, hence the 40 volume with torrid steamy cappucino. and the result was gorgeous. go grey magic!May 7, 2009Elizabeth Omps / ESVA

Does Not WorkI tried coloring my hair with & without this product & the result was the same. So it does not work. I have resistant gray hair & dark hair. The color fades off the resistant hair within a few days.Nov 15, 2008Skp From Nj

I wonder if anyone thinks I should use the small dough ball I purchased at De Lorenzo's on Sloan to try and make a pizza tommorow? I think, but am not sure that dough ball made a pizza that was a little too thick. I have these dressing now.
I can only wish I would have seen the name on that bag of cheese (5th photo down) at Reply 324 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25401.msg275393.html#msg275393 but things were happening so fast I didn't get to see the name on that bag of shredded cheese and also on another bag that was opened right after that.
Gotta be a Grande bag...you can see the seal lined up perfectly in the upper left hand corner...Of course, he COULD be holding a different brand bag upside down. Grande is my final answer
Yeah...that's why even discussing the "Pizza" place in this thread only adds [unwarranted] confusion and diversion.
Norma,Irrespective of the size of pizza you and Trenton Bill were served at De Lorenzo/Sloan, assuming that the two dough balls you purchased are for 14" and 16" pizzas, which are the two pizza sizes that Rick De Lorenzo mentioned to you recently at his Facebook page, the corresponding thickness factors are as follows:11.2 ounces (14"): TF = 11.2 (3.14159 x 7 x 7) = 0.0727616.7 ounces (16"): TF = 16.7/(3.14159 x 8 x 8) = 0.08306In actual practice, unless one uses a scale to weigh the dough balls, their weights can vary from one dough ball to another, as can the sizes of the pizzas made from the dough balls. For example, if 11.2 ounces of dough was used to make your 13" pizza, and assuming no shrinkage during baking, the thickness factor would be 11.2/(3.14159 x 6.5 x 6.5) = 0.08438.Peter
Norma, in using your recipe I was able to turn out a great pizza in the Blackstone oven. I cooked for my parents, and I believe they preferred this pizza to the Emergency Lehmann dough.You've also converted me to applying sauce after the cheese. Something about that just works for me.I'd like to try this recipe with a sourdough starter, but I'm not really clear how I would convert over with any degree of reliability.DenaliPete
Norma,You could use the smaller dough ball but trim it back to 10 ounces and make a 14" pizza out of it. That might be a good test of the crust thickness, that is, to see if it is closer to the thickness of the crust you had at De Lorenzo/Robbinsville.Peter
Norma,A typical bag of Grande shredded cheese is as shown below. The contents of the bag may vary, as well as the product designation, but the overall appearance is pretty much the same for all of the Grande shredded mozzarella cheeses and blends. Peter
We need to crack the code!!!! Now that Norma has the dough balls...hopefully she can reverse engineer!!! I find it curious the notion they mixed red pack + 6-in-1...Is this confirmed?
My job is to keep us focused and on track. That is what I do. But, that said, there might be a benefit to Norma conducting a hydration bake test on a sample of the De Lorenzo Sloan dough to see if we can calculate the hydration of the Sloan dough. There is no way of knowing, of course, buy that might shed some light on what De Lorenzo/Robbinsville is doing in the way of hydration. Norma could also conduct a gluten mass test but I believe we already know what flour De Lorenzo/Sloan is using. Peter
I don't recall all that writing on the two bags of shredded cheese the pieman opened at De Lorenzo's in Robbinsville. I only recall some writing on the center of the plastic bag. Thanks for the photo. Maybe I can look at Google images to see if there are photos of the Sorrento shredded part-skim mozzarella in a plastic bag.
If you want me do a hydration test on part of the big dough ball I can do that later this week. I also could conduct a gluten mass test if you think it would be valuable in any way.
Norma,You should use your best judgment on the amounts of cheese and sauce to use with the Sloan dough. You might look at the Robbinsville photos to get a feel as to the amounts of cheese and sauce to use, and also on a relative basis. But, in any event, the amount of cheese should be used sparingly. As for the tomatoes, I would use two parts of the RedPack whole tomatoes in purée to one part 6-in-1 ground tomatoes with extra heavy purée. These are the canned tomatoes that you showed in photos in an earlier post. Since it does not appear that De Lorenzo/Robbinsville used the top oven/bottom oven bake method, or vice versa, I would use your deck oven at work as you normally would but with a bake time along the lines mentioned in your visit to De Lorenzo/Sloan. I think you want the bake time to be long enough to get the charring of the crust without turning the pizza into a cracker. So, you may have to carefully monitor the bake temperature. Congratulation on getting the Bakers Best flour from General Mills. Once you report back on your results with the Sloan clone pizza, hopefully I will be in a better position to come up with a Robbinsville clone dough formulation for you to try with the new flour.Peter
There also was other brown dough balls right beside the other dough balls.
Norma,I was a step ahead of you. Earlier today, I did a search to identify foodservice versions of the Sorrento mozzarella cheese, including looking at Google Images, and came up empty. However, the parent company of Sorrento is fond of using the color red in the packaging materials for many of its retail bramds of its mozzarella cheeses.Peter
Norma,What are brown dough balls? Did you mean 'blown' dough balls?Peter
Norma,A hydration bake test might be useful, if only to give us a general idea as to what De Lorenzo/Sloan might be using for a hydration value. Since we have a good idea as to the flour that De Lorenzo/Sloan is using, there is no need to do a gluten mass test. However, if you would like to do the test to see how the GM Best Bakers flour stacks up gluten wise with other flours in the general protein category, such as the KABF, then the gluten mass test might be useful.Peter

25th Most Photographed City: Portland, Ore.Landmark: Pioneer Courthouse Square.Standard Shot: A photo of the square overlooking Portland Clock Tower.
Tip: The rule of thirds. The foundation for well-balanced images, this rule states that images should be equally divided by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. Compose your shot so that the elements are placed along these lines. Here, the arm of this sculpture coincides with an imaginary vertical line, while his umbrella lines up with your horizontal line.
24th Most Photographed City: Dublin, Ireland.Landmark: O'Connell Street and the Spire of Dublin.Standard Shot: The spire, framed by O'Connell Street.
Tip: Experiment with angles. In this case, doing the unexpected—getting as close to the monument as possible and shooting upward—delivered a gem of a vantage point.
23rd Most Photographed City: Austin.Landmark: Capitol Building.Standard Shot: Up into the rotunda.
Tip: Compare and contrast. Create a lively composition by contrasting your subject with an interesting object in the foreground—and then adjust the depth of field to focus on that object, leaving your original subject blurred in the background. Here, a metal ornament on the state capitol's gate becomes the new star of the shot.
22nd Most Photographed City: Philadelphia.Landmark: Independence Hall.Standard Shot: A side perspective of Independence Hall.
Tip: Frame with nature. Try to go for the less obvious composition by looking for trees or other sources of organic beauty to complement your subject. Here, the ginkgo trees perfectly frame the clock tower.
21st Most Photographed City: Venice, Italy.Landmark: Piazza San Marco.Standard Shot: A full-frontal view of St. Mark's Basilica.
Tip: Capture the vibe. Sometimes it helps to set your sights on the action of a place, rather than its overall beauty. Here, focus on the fluttering pigeons that famously fill the plaza, and the feel of the place will be more evident than it could be in any wide-angle shot.
20th Most Photographed City: Madrid, Spain.Landmark: Plaza Mayor.Standard Shot: A view across the square taken from the southeast corner.
Tip: Cozy up to something. In a sprawling square, highlight a specific detail—such as this statue in the Plaza Mayor—and shoot it from below, creating a silhouette framed by an expansive sky.
Tip: Find some color. Look for an out-of-the-ordinary corner to focus on, and then, if you have a compact camera, choose a setting that accentuates the colorful hues of the canvas before you, such as "landscape" for a garden or, if appropriate, "night." On Granville Island, for example, explore the docks and capture the lights at night.
18th Most Photographed City: Milan, Italy. Landmark: Duomo di Milano. Standard Shot: The front of the cathedral, taken from the base.
Tip: Get past overwhelming façades. Zoom in on visually interesting lines and sculptures, as this photographer did, turning a collection of spires into an arresting graphic image.
17th Most Photographed City: Toronto, Ont. Landmark: CN Tower. Standard Shot: A vertigo-inducing angle shot from below.
Tip: Get some exposure. Achieving a colorful shot at night is tricky. Use a slow shutter speed, which increases exposure, and a tripod to eliminate blur, and skip the flash to make the lights in your skyline glow. This photographer captured Toronto and its iconic tower from Ward's Island (part of the Toronto Islands), across the Inner Harbor.
16th Most Photographed City: Florence, Italy. Landmark: Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore). Standard Shot: The stunning façade.
Tip: Capture it all. Juxtapose a section of the landmark building with a view of the city (or other contextual elements) by shooting out from within the icon itself.
15th Most Photographed City: Las Vegas. Landmark: Paris Las Vegas hotel. Standard Shot: The front of the hotel, as seen through the fountain at night.
Tip: Go away. Sometimes it helps to get some perspective. In this case, you can cross Las Vegas Boulevard and go up into Paris's neighbor, the Bellagio, to get an elevated shot of the hotel spectacle.
14th Most Photographed City: Berlin, Germany. Landmark: Brandenburg Gate. Standard Shot: Straight on.
Tip: Break the rules. Shoot directly into the sun as it sets to create a compelling silhouette.
13th Most Photographed City: San Diego. Landmark: Balboa Park. Standard Shot: A zoomed-out focus on the tower of the California Building.
Tip: Try fresh angles. This unusual composition, including just the tip of the ornate California Building, fills the frame with the vibrant blue sky as reflected in this body of water.
12th Most Photographed City: Barcelona, Spain. Landmark: Sagrada Família. Standard Shot: From the front entrance, looking up.
Tip: Zoom in. Avoid the standard, straight-on shot (and, in this case, unattractive scaffolding) to zoom in on the ornate details, such as the basilica's steeples.
11th Most Photographed City: Boston. Landmark: Fenway Park. Standard Shot: Far, wide shots of players.
Tip: Seize the moment. Preset your camera on its rapid-fire, or "sports," setting—but, when the big moment happens, look to the stands instead of the field for inspiration. When you see something animated, such as a fan waving his arms in the air, you'll be ready to snap multiple shots, capturing the silhouette (and the energy of the crowd) against the backdrop of the field.

10th Most Photographed City: Amsterdam, Netherlands. Landmark: Dam Square. Standard Shot: Wide, with buildings and lots of space.
Tip: Try keeping other people in the frame. There's a natural temptation to shy away from shooting photos of strangers, but including people can give viewers a contextual clue about the relative size of the subject you're photographing. Plus crowds can make a space seem more alive. This photographer has used the plaza as a backdrop to capture its local talent.
9th Most Photographed City: Rome, Italy. Landmark: Colosseum. Standard Shot: The structure, in its entirety.
Tip: Take advantage of a natural "frame." The archways at Rome's Colosseum give shape to the photo. Shooting through windows, courtyards, doorways, and other openings can create an appealing inside/outside dynamic.
8th Most Photographed City: Seattle. Landmark: Space Needle. Standard Shot: From directly below.
Tip: Create a mirror image. Reflective surfaces are common in urban areas. For a unique take on a classic monument, look around for how an object might be mirrored in a car window, a building's glass front, or the surface of a fountain.
7th Most Photographed City: Washington, D.C. Landmark: Lincoln Memorial. Standard Shot: The full building, from a distance.
Tip: Put things in "perspective." A straight-on shot is the most obvious one to take of the Lincoln Memorial, as it puts the main subject front and center. But including other objects in the picture, like this $5 bill, adds a creative element of whimsy to what might otherwise be a dime-a-dozen postcard image.
6th Most Photographed City: Chicago. Landmark: Cloud Gate sculpture. Standard Shot: A direct shot of the bean, taken from the side.
Tip: Avoid the obvious. Whether it's a sculpture, a person, or a building, you can always walk around your subject to get a different view. In this case, the photographer went underneath the bean sculpture—made of highly polished steel and inspired by liquid mercury—and shot upward for a unique view.
5th Most Photographed City: Los Angeles. Landmark: Hollywood Walk of Fame. Standard Shot: One star, shot from above.
Tip: Use distance as a frame of reference. Rather than rush in and snap away, pre-visualize your image, thinking about how to photograph a subject from different directions. In this case, the photographer chose to present the stars in a line—a decision that brings context to the shot.
4th Most Photographed City: Paris, France. Landmark: Eiffel Tower. Standard Shot: Full-on, from far away.
Tip: Keep an eye out for unexpected patterns. Most pictures of the Eiffel Tower are taken from a distance, but its detailed iron latticework also captures attention. In general, close-up shots of patterns in architecture help a viewer see iconic attractions with fresh eyes.
3rd Most Photographed City: San Francisco. Landmark: Union Square. Standard Shot: A wide-angle view of Union Square from the Macy's Building.
Tip: Less is more. A close-up photo can sometimes be as powerful as a wide-angle one. As Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten once said: "It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail. Then you can dream all the rest around it." Here, a tight shot of a sculpture in the square takes that advice to heart.
2nd Most Photographed City: London, U.K. Landmark: Trafalgar Square. Standard Shot: A wide-angle shot of the National Gallery and St. Martin-in-the-Fields church.
Tip: Shift direction. Tilt your lens down to get some surprising texture in the foreground of your shot. Here, the photographer juxtaposed an urban icon, St. Martin-in-the-Fields church, with the surface of Trafalgar Square fountain. (In case you were curious, the tree stumps in this photo were part of an exhibition that warned about rain-forest deforestation.)
1st Most Photographed City: New York. Landmark: Empire State Building. Standard Shot: The view of the Empire State Building from the street below.
Tip: Broaden your perspective. Photographing an expected sight from an unexpected place can add a lot to your photo. To get this shot, head 16 blocks north and up 70 floors to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck in Rockefeller Center, where you'll get the best view of the Empire State Building—along with a 360-degree panorama of the city.

Throughout the years, our guests have complimented us on the wonderful mugs in which we serve coffee and tea. Many have loved their warm touch and comfortable handle so much they've taken one (or two) home with them.
Credit goes to Deneen Pottery for these fantastic mugs. Its hard to find a quality mug that keeps your coffee hot and makes you want to fill 'er up again and again. Each one is handmade and it just a little different than the next. Twenty-four pairs of loving hands touch each mug before it arrives on our doorstep.
To make the mugs even better, 5 Corners has added a warming plate allowing our guests to pour hot coffee into a nice and toasty mug; keeping coffee and tea hotter, longer. A second finish has also been added; this time in our signature blue but with a black glaze.
For a complete list of products available from Deneen Pottery, please visit their website at www.deneenpottery.com. Mugs are freezer, microwave and oven safe.

|In response to Re: Symmons handle won't come off!
: I have what I think is called a Symmons 2 piece shower/tub faucet that is leaky. I removed the little round screw cover on the handle and removed the screw, but the handle won't budge. I would imagine this has to come off in order to get at the guts of this thing. I tried wiggling it off with a pair of channel locks but it didn't sound too good and I'm afraid of cracking the ceramic tile or causing some sort of damage to the pipe behind if I pull too hard. I also wedged the handle of the channed locks behind the handle to try and pry it off but still no luck! There must be a secret to this, anybody know it?
