Valentine's Day is the busiest day of the year for florists, and no flower is more popular on the occasion than the quintessential red rose. We asked rose expert Lauren Kettenbach, an Arizona Master Gardener who oversees the rose garden at the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Office at 4210 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson, to share some of what she knows about the rose.
Sometime between Friday, Feb. 10 and Sunday, Feb. 12, the UA Community Garden was vandalized.

A pervasive anecdote is that, come Super Bowl halftime, millions of people watching the big game will head to the bathroom to simultaneously flush their toilets. Some say it's an urban legend. But is it? "I have never seen the 'Super Bowl super flush event' in writing, and I've never seen it mentioned in a peer-reviewed publication," said University of Arizona research scientist Jean McLain. But there is some truth to the myth.

Scientists glued tiny "sensor tags" to the backs of bumblebees and got an unprecedented look inside the colony.
Terrestrial ecosystems provide a tremendous service to humanity and the well-being of the Earth by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, acting as a "carbon sink" where carbon inputs from photosynthesis are greater than carbon losses from plant and animal respiration. Yet, the exact processes influencing the relative strength of land carbon uptake have remained elusive and an area of debate among scientists.

Randy Ford had never heard of valley fever when he moved to Tucson from Salinas with his dog, a reddish brown vizsla named Tyler.
A canine vaccine against valley fever, a fungal disease that sometimes leads to significant disability and even death, could be available within the next 10 years. And the work to save dogs could also advance efforts to create a vaccine for people.
More than 114 million TV viewers tuned into Sunday's Super Bowl, perhaps as many of them for the ever-anticipated commercials as the game itself. With this year's Super Bowl ads costing a whopping $5 million for 30 seconds, advertisers pulled out all the stops to reach the large national crowd, with some being more successful than others. University of Arizona marketing experts weighed in on their favorite ads.

President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!
Donate today and help save America the beautiful. Your gift today could be what stands between our public lands and Big Oil's drills.
We know that urban life can be filled with stress and fatigue, and that time outdoors can rejuvenate us physically, mentally and emotionally.
America's National Wildlife Refuge System was designated by President Theodore Roosevelt more than 100 years ago, and is widely considered one of the nation's crowning conservation achievements.
Public lands are so economically important that seven states spent over $2 million out of their already strapped budgets to open federal lands during the last week of the 16-day government shutdown.
By Andrea Imler
The federal government reopened Thursday, Oct. 16 after Congress passed a short-term budget deal to fund the government through Jan. 15.
As a result, federal agencies like the National Park Service have been allowed to reopen. At least, for now.
Would-be tourists to our national parks, monuments and refuges have met with closed gates and huge disappointment over the past 16 days of the government shutdown.
After 16 disastrous days, the government shutdown is finally over, but only at tremendous cost to America's outdoor recreation economy.
The Wilderness Society and 27 other conservation, recreation and outdoor industry groups have joined together to urge Congress to end the government shutdown.
Trump is already checking off the oil and gas industry's wish list and now his anti-conservation partners in Congress are following in kind. Stand up to them!

Helicopters and Bird Strikes; Results from First Analysis Available Online
Bird strikes to civil and military helicopters resulted in 61 human injuries and 11 lost lives since 1990. As with fixed-winged aircraft, bird strikes to helicopters are costly. Available data showed the average cost of a damaging strike to military helicopters ranged from $12,184 to $337,281 per incident, and APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS) wants to address this problem.
More than a dozen stakeholders representing both civil and military aviation groups, safety and regulatory agencies, and wildlife specialists turned out for the May 15th USDA-APHIS stakeholders meeting to hear results from the first scientific analysis of bird-strike hazards to helicopters.

Richland School Board approves final bond proposal
The Richland School Board unanimously approved a final $98 million bond proposal for the February ballot last night.
Board members decided Jefferson Elementary School will stay open as a K - 5 school.
The board also confirmed Lewis and Clark, Marcus Whitman, and Sacajawea Elementary schools will be replaced at a slightly smaller size than originally planned.
The money saved on that cutback will help fund a new facility for Three Rivers HomeLink, which is outgrowing its current building.

To warm tortillas, wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 325°F for about 7 minutes. Or place them on a microwavable plate, cover with microwavable waxed paper and microwave on High 45 to 60 seconds.
Tender, low-fat meats, like the turkey tenderloins in this recipe, will get dry and tough if overcooked, so follow the cooking times carefully.

The Concept and the Rule of Law
Jeremy Waldron
New York University School of Law
September 24, 2008
Georgia Law Review, Forthcoming
NYU School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 08-50
This article explores and connects two issues: (1) the relation between the Rule of Law (or legality) and the work we do in general jurisprudence on the concept of law; and (2) the distinction between conceptions of the Rule of Law that emphasize certainty, rules, and predictability and conceptions of the Rule of Law that also emphasize procedure and argument, even when legal argumentation detracts from the certainty emphasized the first set of conceptions. It argues (1) in favour of a more demanding understanding of what law is (informed by the ideal of the Rule of Law) and against "casual positivism" that takes almost any instance of centralized command and control as a legal system. And it argues (2) in favour of a procedural and argumentative conception of the Rule of Law. It connects the two arguments by observing that casual positivism is commonly associated with an impoverished rule-oriented understanding of the Rule of Law is associated commonly; and (following Dworkin and MacCormick) it suggests that a jurisprudence that emphasizes the role of legal argumentation and the institutions that sponsor it, will inevitably bring our conceptions of law and legality very close together.

Bryan Neider is senior vice president and chief operating officer of EA Labels, where he oversees global software development for EA.
Bryan Neider of Electronic Arts describes how EA trains its own workforce.
Interview conducted by Alan Morrison and Bo Parker
PwC: What are you seeing in the gaming business that's applicable to non-gaming businesses?
BN: That's a great question. Gaming in general provides non-gaming businesses an opportunity to accelerate change or improve learning and knowledge sharing across their organizations. Whether or not companies are in the gaming business, they can use gaming techniques to improve business processes and do quite a bit that's comparable to what we've done.
Let me give you an example. Several years ago, we put together an exercise and a game called EA University for an internal group. It was meant to educate our creative and development talent on financial constraints and how to manage profit and loss on development projects.
Rather than go into a very dry explanation of "here's an income statement and here's a balance sheet," we actually used a game model to set up resource management, as well as time, budget, and talent constraints, and then have participants figure out how to optimize that mix to ship a quality game on time and on budget.
The cross-functional team and the creatives had to play that exercise as a game. The goal was to increase their awareness of both budget and resources and how they could influence the outcome, rather than it seeming like something that a corporate suit like me is telling them to do. They learn that they really have a lot more control over the variables of making a game than they realized. EA University educates them on that process.
It's a very fun exercise. We still do it today and have continued to update it for new variables as the businesses evolve. But it included everything from game pricing to retail distribution to digital distribution—they had to figure out all of that. And the payoff was that somebody would win the best model and idea. Because we make games, people here love to compete all the time.
So by having that compulsion and by having people present their ideas and then vote on the best one, they really got into it. That's a far more interesting way to teach finance and certainly helps us educate our work staff on a very important aspect of their business. Some of these producers and executives on the game team side are managing more than $100 million, and a few of them as much as $500 million.
PwC: You mentioned the ability of developers to affect the outcome and see the results of their efforts directly. How does EA University reflect what specific developer teams confront in terms of project financial management challenges?
BN: The variables of how you make a game vary widely. If you're working on a Madden football game, it's one thing. If you're working on a Maxis Sims game or a Battlefield first-person shooter game, it's another.
They are so different in design and creative elements that we can't and don't want to have a cookie cutter approach to how the teams should work together. The application of EA University isn't universal; it needs to be tailored. Our teams have personalities; they are very different, and they are motivated differently. We need to account for that and factor that into how we teach, learn, and share. As for most organizations, it is not a one size fits all.
PwC: One of the fascinating things about gaming environments is how there's so much quick self-organization in multiplayer games; the teams just gel so quickly. There's a mission that's spelled out clearly, and each person takes a role and a lot of times the leadership differs. For example, somebody can be the leader this time and if there's a vacuum there, then the team realizes it and the new leader jumps into it. Is that kind of dynamic at work here, too?
BN: Online gaming communities self-regulate pretty effectively. It's more difficult for what we call a newbie to get into a more hardcore game, because the social online protocol has been established. But they do self-regulate, and they do form around scripted tasks that they have to perform. For gamification—or the use of game design techniques—in businesses, it certainly suggests a way to set up a learning exercise that stresses cooperation and a goal orientation.
Sometimes we'll have people from our executive team run red team versus blue team. The two teams are pitted against one another to achieve the best outcome when tackling a particular market. By pitting two teams against each other in a game scenario, you actually get a more three-dimensional view of a business challenge, risk, or opportunity, and that view might be more informative in reaching the final recommendation. And you can do all that inside game design.
PwC: It seems like a lot of the effectiveness might come from the transparency that must be evident in the game-oriented environment itself.
BN: The end objectives are fairly clear and transparent, but the path to get there will be a little bit more opaque because that makes the journey inside the gaming experience more interesting.
Another factor is how you create the ability to collect and manage user feedback. We have what we call telemetry—real-time game data that tells us where people are hung up in part of the game where it's too hard, or maybe other areas where it's way too easy. Sometimes we modify the design to improve that experience.
In the same way, when using game design concepts inside a company, you'd want to know that people miss the point of what you're trying to achieve in that particular scenario inside the experience and why. Perhaps they get hung up in it and spend way too much time there. You would want to have some sort of feedback mechanism in the game design itself.
That's a very important part of our online feedback loop. For our online-only games, it's critical to monitor the stats that are run real-time 24/7. We use that data to modify and improve the game experience and to make updates, code changes, and compulsion loop changes. That's absolutely an important part of a real-time online game.
PwC: In spite of best efforts, a lot of games get launched that ultimately aren't successful. The recovery from that kind of failure and the willingness to incorporate the lessons learned as a part of overall development would seem to be important.
BN: We do fairly extensive postmortems for successful or for less successful titles. And that is an absolutely critical process of developing and improving for the next iteration. Very deep debriefs. Sometimes we have peer reviews where people who weren't on the game team provide input.
With an online game, it's a little bit easier because it's alive and it's providing real-time feedback every minute of every day. So, as I mentioned earlier, you can track and find out—are people coming into the game and then dropping out? Are they playing the game for a while and dropping out at a particular point? Or are people not even clicking on and playing—is that a marketing issue or a branding issue? When it comes to live online games—social games, mobile games—we're getting that kind of feedback in real time.
We do use input from focus groups, in terms of game feedback and adjustment. The people who come to those sessions are usually skilled gamers who are a lot more critical on the mechanics that are important. But for some games that are broader or that have a more mass appeal, we want to bring in people who are not as familiar with gaming so we can understand the user interface and usability experience. Things that we in the gaming community think might be intuitive could be extremely confusing to a mass market consumer. In other businesses that are applying game concepts, usability and reducing barriers of engagement are absolutely critical. It can't be too geeky.
PwC: What are the trends in the evolution of gaming?
BN: Through the last decade, the rise of computing power on phones and tablets and the rise of social networking certainly have brought gaming as an entertainment form to audiences that did not experience it before.
You can assume that for roughly 400 million new smartphones every year, nearly everyone is going to buy at least one game and play a game. Consider also the nearly 1 billion people in social networking in North America, Europe, and Asia. A large amount of that audience is playing social games as well.
And so you have two ends of it. One is the desire to be networked with friends and family in playing games and sharing that experience. The other is the portability of games in the same way that TV or movie viewing has been time shifted. Smart devices allow location shifting from what used to be just the family room sitting in front of the TV or in the basement or den playing a computer game to now having that capability with them when they're waiting in line for something.
That shift changes the interface, the speed of the compulsion loops in the game, and the reward mechanisms, because it's not the same as sitting down with a 40-hour predesigned game experience. The device allows and people expect a faster payback. They don't require production values to be as high.
The funny thing is if you look at good game design sensibilities, a lot of the tablet designs are almost a carbon copy of the early designs on Atari and Nintendo. That learning is new for both developers and consumers, but in fact it's been around for the better part of 30 years. It's just now been rediscovered because you can do it on a phone and a tablet and provide far better graphics than we had back with early Nintendo and Atari.
Imagine the chase and capture or be captured kind of element of the game. You're seeing a lot of those core elements in tablet and smartphone designs—those core elements of how we get rewarded and our compulsion to avoid being captured and to find the loot and increase our score. But now we can provide a far richer environment with nearly the same compulsion loop. Imagine it's a formula for the game design: chase equals x, rewards equal y. You want the right kind of balance between reward and penalty for how you actually close out and go to the next level.
But because people today didn't play those games 30 years ago, it's all brand new to them. The fact is a lot of designers are dusting off old game designs because they were so good. But now we can provide a much richer and more inviting experience for consumers because the graphics weren't very good and the processing power was extremely limited.
PwC: So a lot of the challenge is distributing this kind of environment where it hasn't been before. Not so much designing it from scratch, it's just repurposing it for all these different
environments—including where it might be applicable inside a business, for example.
BN: I'd agree. Keep in mind that today's workers are going to be accustomed to game mechanics. They will have played games. In a work environment in the right setting, playing games is not going to seem unusual or odd to them. It's going to be second nature to them. A game-oriented design allows a very good team building and educational experience. Companies can engage employees to tackle tough goals in a much more intuitive manner.

Melbourne is best known as Australia's cultural, dining and shopping capital in the southern state of Victoria. Melbourne's probably more akin to a very big town than a very big city. The atmosphere is a little less rushed, but no less cosmopolitan than its other state capital counterparts.
Born out of the Victorian gold rush in 1851, today it's known as the garden city boasting an abundance of lovely parks and pretty, green areas. Cultural city is far more appropriate however as Melbourne burst at the seams with pursuits of the arts in all its forms, from musicals to opera and fine art, theatre and bohemian performances. Named by UNESCO as a City of Literature and topping many international lists, it's been repeatedly acknowledged as one of the world's most liveable cities.
Melbourne is the birthplace of television in Australia, the home of Australian Football, home of the Australian Ballet, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and more than 100 art galleries.
The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art at Southbank leads the city, and perhaps the country developing challenging and innovative visual art. It's rusty, steel building is an architectural icon and the gallery focuses on commissioning new art rather than collection and display.
The Arts Centre in the prime central location of Melbourne's leisure and entertainment precinct consists of the Theatres Building, Harmer Hall and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. It's worth taking a guided tour to explore all this area has to offer. Hear the background to its extraordinary design and the many forms of entertainment that can be enjoyed. On Sunday's the area turns into a marketplace with over 120 stalls of fantastic art and craft including ceramics, photography and textiles.
Theatrical pursuits are more than covered by the Australian Centre of Performing Arts in North Melbourne. Their philosophy is to integrate a diverse range of creative concepts, both training and showing at Gallery 14, and live performances at Cabaret Voltaire.
The 120 year old Her Majesty's Theatre is as much an icon of the city as the Opera House is for Sydney. The theatre now hosts world class touring musicals on an epic scale, along with comedy festivals, opera, plays and dance. There are literally dozens of productions, exhibitions and shows that will enlighten, amuse and fascinate you with the quality and talent of Australian artists all over town. Part of the fun is finding them all which is great, as you discover the heart of the city at the same time.
On Flinders Street the Australian Centre for the Moving Image is the home of film festivals and grand exhibitions dedicated to movie making. Maybe it's something in the water but Melbourne is a consistent inspiration for artists, writers and musicians. So much so, art is not always restricted to galleries and exhibitions but rather explode onto the streets, on walls in tiny alleys, or free standing sculptural installations. The city takes advantage of the expression and again, many guided tours are available so you can take in these bursts of al fresco inspiration.
When you've had your fill of the creative make yourself crazy deciding on where to dine. Mixing international influences with home-grown originality produces an array of avant-garde culinary experiences unlike any other place in the world. Melbourne has become renowned for its innovative dining spirit that continues to evolve and impress the finest of palates. Fine dining isn't restricted either to large, expensively designed restaurants, although there are many great examples of those. Some of the smallest eateries, bistros and cafes produce enticing and diverse menus in wonderfully eclectic surrounds.
There are far too many dining options to list, suffice to say there's not really any part of Melbourne that doesn't have an amazing place to dine. The CBD is awash with choice, so too the banks of the Yarra River, the maze of laneways and then there's Little Italy on Lygon Street which is probably worth a mention all to itself.
Possibly the birthplace of Melbourne's café culture, Lygon Street in Carlton has become a tantalising representation of the large Italian community that has added so much to the fabric of this cross cultural city. Likewise the Greek precinct at Lonsdale Street will have your mouth watering and your heart thinking you're in the old country.
Make time to explore the many laneways that intertwine the city centre revealing boutique eateries, funky little bars and unique delightful stores that surprise you with their originality and design. They say these lanes were originally designed just for humans as Melbourne's wide streets were originally made to accommodate the large bullock teams that would haul produce from one end of town to the other.
Now you've been suitably entertained and fed it's time to get on with the serious business of shopping. From retro to high fashion, fine art to one off treasures, Melbourne prides itself on being inventive and pioneering in terms of design.
Many of the country's international fashion designers are based in Melbourne, and not taking anything away from Brisbane and Sydney who have brilliant designers in their own right, the city is largely regarded as the fashion capital of the country. Not only an undertaking purely for females either, the men of Melbourne can be very fashion aware.
As with cuisine, a multitude of shopping precincts and individual gems are dotted around the city. Probably one of its more legendary locations is Chapel Street which extends over four kilometres and oozes high end fashion designers as well as unique vintage finds.
Melbourne Spring Fashion Week is the industry event of the year, among many other sponsored fashion weeks that take place throughout the year. Spring belongs to fashion in the city which culminates in the race that stops the nation, the colourful Melbourne Cup horse race on the first Tuesday of November. The Cup is as much about fashion and hats as it is about horse racing and has its own place in Australian culture and tradition.
Australia's largest casino resides at the Crown Casino which fits in nicely with Melbourne's general approach of doing things large. Some of Australia's greatest shows and events are hosted in these spectacular halls and venues. This is the place to get glam, shop, dine or try your luck at the casino.
Every destination should have a Melbourne City Circle Tram. If you've never visited this is the way to get the lowdown on places of interest with running commentary absolutely free. You can jump on or off wherever you please exploring any areas that take your fancy. Besides, trams are as symbolic of the southern city almost as much as San Francisco.
Melbourne is unique with a personality that weaves history and innovation into a fabric of creative expression that's always entertaining and intriguing. You never quite know what you might find next.

Hats off to NASA's CuriosityPosted Wednesday, August 8, 2012, at 8:50 AM
In an age when American technological prowess and ingenuity are constantly being challenged and belittled, the United States struck back at its critics this week and planted a new flag of technical dominance 156 million miles away.
The Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity made a perfect landing on the red planet. Just getting there is impressive. Less than half of all the probes sent to Mars by various nations over the years have been successful. The failure rate is dramatically higher than any other planet in the solar system where we've sent robots to explore.
Yet, we are pulled to Mars because, of all the planets in our solar system, it has the greatest chance that at one time, when it was a vibrant, wet world, it may have harbored life.
Such a discovery would have profound impacts on mankind. It would equal that of Copernicus, when he announced we weren't the center of the universe. It would spur even greater exploration and discovery.
Sometimes, we need something like Curiosity to remind us that American was a land populated by explorers. It is in our blood to seek new frontiers. Yet, this December will mark 40 years -- two full generations -- since man last set foot on the moon.
You can blame Congress for that myopia. We beat the Russians to the moon so the race was over. Funding dried up and since then we haven't traveled more than 250 miles from the our planet's surface. It's as if once we made the big trip to the ocean we decided never to leave the back yard again.
With any luck, Curiousity will open our eyes again, cause our gaze to be lifted to the infinity of the universe, and restore our heritage of exploration.
Nice job, NASA. You've made us proud.

I just recently got my baby to start eating cereal. She used to keep spitting it out. She still will not eat baby food. I'm worried that she is too dependant on formula. How do I correct this and how do I ensure she is getting enough food and nutrition? How much baby food and cereal should she be eating at six months of age? Any advice is appreciated.
No announcement yet.
How much cereal or baby food should my six month old baby be eating?
new posts
Hi onjanana, welcome to the Forum :-)
First, nutritionally, I totally understand your concern. I am nursing so I am not sure about formula, but my understanding is that milk feeds are supposed to continue to be a primary source of nutrition for the first year, even after introduction of solids. I am sure your pediatrician can provide guidance as well, but here is a link that I found helpful: http://kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/solids-how.html
For some additional perspective: My son is 7 months old and is only now taking a strong interest in eating solids. We are doing baby-led weaning, so we have skipped purees and gone straight to table foods, such as sweet potatoes, apples, avocado, etc. We have been introducing solids at one mealtime per day since he was about 6 months old--he would play and put food in his mouth, but always ended up spitting it out. He just didn't seem to know that he needed to swallow. Now, rather suddenly, he wants something to gobble every time we eat, and he seems to actually be eating! Our practice now is to nurse first, then offer solids, then follow up by nursing again. I don't want to have my baby wean earlier than he is ready, or to go hungry since he isn't getting much in the way of solids.
I hope this helps, please keep us updated :-)
I'm in the middle of reading it, but Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense by Ellyn Satter seems to have a lot of good information. Her quick answer to your question, I believe, would be, "Exactly as much as your baby wants to eat." She advocates a division of responsibility in feeding: You decide what, when and where your child will eat, your child decides how much and whether to eat. She references lots of studies demonstrating how good children are at self-regulating, and that if we pressure them to eat more or less, we can actually create eating problems. So, you provide good food and structure for their eating and trust them to do the rest.
Hope this helps,
To be clear about Ellyn Satter's division of responsibilities: You deciding when your child eats does not mean putting your infant on a feeding schedule, following their hunger cues is important. What she's referring to there is regular family mealtimes and snacks for toddlers and beyond.
Oh, man! As I got further into Child of Mine, I started adding caveats to my recommendation. She's not too positive on co-sleeping, and recommends weaning when they really start to get interested in eating meals at the table with the family. But now I've gotten to the part of the book where she recommends Ferber's cry-it-out method. Strike three!
It's a shame. She put lots of good information in there about things like cultivating a positive and nurturing feeding relationship, trusting your child to follow his hunger and fullness cues, and child development stuff. I'll still use it as a resource, but at this point, I can't, in good conscience, recommend it to new parents. (And I'm only about half way through!) Sigh!

Her other book "Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family" is much better in this regards. It doesn't go into as much detail about feeding babies and young kids but it gives good general feeding information for everyone. If I recall correctly,there isn't too much in it that would offend APers. ( Or at least little enough that I was able to ignore it and then forget about it.)

"I agree with the reviews that these can be killers on the balls of your feet if standing for a long period, but no different than any other non-platform shoe with a 4" heel. Just FYI - I had to go down a half size. I normally wear a solid size 8, but bought these in a 7 1/2.I disagree with the folks who said these were stiff and still not broken in. Maybe they got an "off" pair, because mine are like butter; soft and comfy with not a sore toe or blister to be had. The added bonus is they are super cute and sexy! I wear them a lot with skirts and tights and even my husband commented on how sexy they look. I would have given these 5 stars, but I do wish they had a little platform to take some pressure off the balls of your feet. Nevertheless, these are a must have!"

Are you saying that, say, halfway through the baking time, you pull the pan out and run the spatula around before the cheese has a chance really to stick? Sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a try.Gene
When using steel pans we typically season them with canola oil, and after several bakes when the pans have turned to a darker color (both inside and out) we will always add a small amount of oil to the pan to help the dough/crust release, additionally, this also allows the pan to continue seasoning, developing an ever darker color (some of our pans are essentially black in color both inside and out). Our experience is that you will always get a better bake if you add at least some oil to the pan for each bake. This is because the oil improves the heat transfer between the pan and the dough. Additionally, a number of years ago we looked at shortening (like Crisco) v/s oil in the pan. We found that in all cases the oil provided for a firmer, crispier bottom crust than did the shortening. A lot of people have commented on the crispiness of the Pizza Hut deep-dish pizzas. This is accomplished through the addition of oil to the pan prior to baking, making the finished crust closer to fried than bakedTom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
I never bake in mine without adding oil. I only ever wipe them out with a paper towel when I finish the previous bake. That leaves a coating of oil on them when they go back on the shelf until next time. Then, when I use them again, I add 1oz of oil which is plenty to lubricate the pan and give me nice browning on the crust. Then, after they're cooled down, I wipe out the excess oil with a paper towel and put them away again. Your point about being "fried rather than baked" is the key point. Pizza Hut Pan Pizza, the Victory Pig Style that I make, and many other soft dough pan pizzas (thinking Jet's, Buddy's, and others) are all pretty much fried in the pan. When I check mine while they're baking, I always look to see that the oil is bubbling up & sizzling around the pan edges. I want to hear that sizzling.....that's how I know I'll get the crispy browned crust I'm looking for. Back in northeastern PA where VP style originated, the locals use the generic term "fried sicilian" to refer to this style of pizza.I think it's important not to over think some of this stuff. I use steel & iron for virtually all of my cooking. I have several cast iron skillets as well as DeBuyer Mineral B iron so I've learned over the years how to clean and care for them. It's really very simple and takes very little time. They don't wear out and they don't impart particles into the food like non-stick pans after they're a few years old. The result (just as with the blue steel pans) is always worth the extra 30 seconds it takes to clean & care for them.s_b
No, when the pizza is done, the first thing I do upon pulling the pan out is to run the spatula around the outside of the pan between the pan & the crust.You need a good sturdy metal spatula that won't bend so you that can scrape firmly if you need to.s_b
Gene;I believe it is NY, MA, and CA where they are really keen on carbon in food. Seasoning on a pan = polymerized and carbonized oil. At one time MA did not allow the use of seasoned pans for that very reason. I don't know the current state regs at this time. This is why anodized pans became so popular. Some of the anodized pans are also non-stick, such as those supplied by Lloyd Pans <www.lloydpans.com> with these types of pans you can still use the oil in the pan to achieve the fried effect, but unlike seasoned pans, you can also soak them in hot soapy water to clean without destroying the pan finish. Unlike other non-stick coatings the anodized coatings do not wear off. We have a good number of them in our inventory that have been in use for over 15-years without and deterioration of the non-stick coating. BTW: Steel wool is not a good thing to use on any seasoned pan as it will scrub off the seasoning, resulting in the pizza sticking to those surfaces. That sticky feel that you mentioned is perfectly normal on a spun steel pan. As you continue to use the pan (just a couple bakes are needed) the seasoning will continue to harden into a brown/black finish that we see on so many of the old, well used bakery pans in use in many of the retail bakeries.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Well, that's my big problem: I can't just wipe the pan out because there's always a brown ring of baked-on cheese around the inside that can be removed only by scraping with a spatula and then rubbing vigorously with steel wool. Maybe that would be okay at home, but my partners and I are starting a cafe and when we get inspected by the city (and NYC, where we are, is pretty strict), especially because we won't be washing the pans with soap and water, the pans have to be "bare," with no residue whatsoever.Gene
I would not use steel wool on your pans. The steel wool is most likely what removed the bluing from the sides of your pan. I would suggest that you a scrape and wash the sides clean with hot water, kosher salt, and a good stiff brush (Lodge sells one for their cast iron that works well). After scrubbing them this way, make sure to season them, paying special attention to the sides, and always oil the sides of the pan well when you bake in them, that should help. The key will be to continue to bake in them though. I found with mine that I just had to bake through the sticking and after a half dozen bakes or so, the pans were well seasoned with little to no sticking. The cheese around the sides.....I'm not sure what to tell you. Nature of the beast I think. I like to build up a nice browned cheese crust around the pan edges so I intentionally pile cheese along the edges sometimes. It does stick but it's not stuck hard normally and a little bit of scraping with a stiff metal spatula has always worked well. Is it 100% clean around the sides? No..... but it's pretty close. It sounds like pretty close won't cut it in your environment.Questions:1) Are there other pizza shops in your area who bake in steel pans? 2) If so, how do they do clean their pans to inspection level? When you say above "bare" and "no residue" that implies to me removing the seasoned coating on the pans. Seems to me that if you did that after every bake, they would forever be too sticky to bake in because they would never get seasoned.Sounds like a pickle. s_b
Some of the anodized pans are also non-stick, such as those supplied by Lloyd Pans <www.lloydpans.com> with these types of pans you can still use the oil in the pan to achieve the fried effect, but unlike seasoned pans, you can also soak them in hot soapy water to clean without destroying the pan finish. Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
I'm going to try one of the Lloyd's pans, but I have a beginner question... Going from 12x17 to 13x18 I'm going to have to increase the dough recipe. Is that just a matter of keeping the ingredient percentages the same? And if so, does that include the yeast?
Have you ever heard of flaxseed oil for seasoning? It's the most durable method of seasoning cast iron. I've not tried it on steel but I think I'll give it a shot the next time I have some pans to season. Here's the site with the info: http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/a-science-based-technique-for-seasoning-cast-iron/I think her chemistry is a bit wonky but the results are stellar! Cook's Illustrated tested this and said it will even stand up to a trip through a commercial dishwasher. I've seasoned all my Lodge pots and pans and it's terrific. The most important thing is to put on extremely thin layers, most people have problems because they try to rush the job and use too much oil.
PizzaBinge,If you are going to try one of lloyds pans all you have to do is use the expanded dough calculation tool at http://www.pizzamaking.com/expanded_calculator.html and check the box that says Rectangular and then put in the size pan you are using and keep all the percentages the same including the yeast amount you want to use. Norma
Thanks, Norma! I'm gonna order the pan tonight. I can't wait to try this out. I'm currently using 3 identical pans which I seasoned, but there are some inconsistencies between the crusts; hopefully the Lloyd's pan will eliminate this issue.
In case anyone is interested or not aware, Lloyd now offers its pans in the traditional Detroit-style sizes, 8x10 and 10x14: http://www.lloydpans.com/SearchByKeyword?word=detroit
Gene,I think your link may be for the lids but I found that this one works for the pans: http://www.lloydpans.com/standard-pans/pizza-tools/rectangular-pans-and-disks/detroit-style-deep-dish.Based on the post at Reply 27 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,16820.msg164427.html#msg164427, it looks like Lloyd Pans has been offering the Detroit style pans since about 2011.Peter
I've only used the Trader Joe's oil; are all flax seed oil brands like this? Is this okay? Has anyone else using the flax seed oil method experienced this? Will these little bits of "grit" cause the cheese to stick to the sides of the pan, even though the overall surface feels smooth?
I am trying this method (baking on my fifth coat at this very moment), but am wondering: The flax see oil I'm using - organic, from Trader Joe's - has a little bit of "grit" in it - tiny bits of flax seed? I wipe out the pan between coats as vigorously as I can, I can't get all of out. After pan bakes and cools, when I run my fingers across the surface, they "catch" occasionally (maybe about every inch or so) on a tiny bit of "grit" that seems to have bonded to the pan - or at least, scraping the bit of "grit" with my fingernail does not dislodge it.I've only used the Trader Joe's oil; are all flax seed oil brands like this?

Another weak ending for a solid manga, shame that all of these series' seem to get cut short or the author just can't write a proper ending.
Yeah I didn't care for that ending either, especially how everyone was all happy and cool with all the deserters of the Ogame school and Jinsuke who pretty much killed all the students. I wanted more bitterness and fight in them, not complacency and acceptance. Meh, good while it lasted, bb Gamaran!

(July 19) Today we're observing . . . Isra Al Mi'Raj (Ascent of the Prophet Muhammad)
Isra Al Mi'Raj (Ascent of the Prophet Muhammad – Islamic)*
Commemorating the Prophet Muhammad's journey to Jerusalem and his ascent into heaven where he prayed together with Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.
"The rock in the center of the dome (The Dome of the Rock) is the spot from which, according to Islamic tradition, Muhammad ascended for a night-long journey to Heaven in AD 621, accompanied by the angel Gabriel. There he met many prophets like Abraham and Moses and was given the (now obligatory) Islamic prayers before returning to Earth…A Qur'anic verse says that Muhammad took an instantaneous night journey on Buraq from al-Masjid al-Haram ("the sacred mosque", interpreted as being in Mecca) to al-Masjid al-Aqsa ("the farthest mosque", interpreted as being in Jerusalem)."**

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
It seems like just yesterday that the school year was over and everyone was off for the summer or at least that is the way it is if you are not a high school athlete. At Emery High it is no different.
The first Monday of June saw the onset of the summer weight program for Emery High football players. Over the past seven weeks, almost 40 players gave up some of their vacation time to lift weights and work on becoming a better player.
Coach Jim Jones spearheaded the summer effort and seemed to keep the kids enthused as they each gave up sleep to show up at the school three mornings a week at 7 a.m. For the next two hours, the kids lifted weights, ran stairs, played touch football and ran through the playbook as they prepared for the 2009 season.
vEach summer, each school can put their players in pads and play real football for a period of five days in a one-week period. Emery padded up last week and spent four days at Fillmore for a camp put on by Millard High. There the team practiced, lifted weights and played games against the other five schools. It was hot but it was fun and the kids enjoyed it. Coach Jones took 29 kids to the camp and all seemed to really think it was great. They, the team and they, the individual got better as the week progressed.
And now the summer is over. I know that it is only the end of July, but football starts for real next week. On July 27, the team will begin to practice daily at 5 p.m. as the season's first game is Aug. 21 and the black and gold game is Aug. 15. Where does the time go.
Coach Jones welcomes all to come out for Emery High football from freshman to senior.

Leveraging Community & Business Partnerships
We recently attended the second annual thought leaders luncheon for Easter Seals of Southeastern Wisconsin and had the opportunity to hear from Tom Kuntz, former president and CEO of Century 21 and co-author of Community & Business Partnerships. The book outlines a five step process for increasing a company's revenue through business and community partnerships.
Century 21 has long been a supporter of Easter Seals donating over $100 million to this non-profit organization. Tom mentioned that he felt that Century 21 missed a huge marketing opportunity because they did not promote their involvement with Easter Seals.
Some companies are amazing in their support of non-profits and don't always share with current and future customers. During his discussion, Kunz shared some amazing statistics from the Cone Trend Tracker Study released in March of this year. The survey explored consumer attitudes about nonprofit/corporate partnerships. The following are some key take-away points:
More than three-quarters (78%) of consumers believe a nonprofit's partnership with a trusted company or brand makes a cause stand out.
59% of Americans are more likely to buy a product associated with a non-profit/corporate partnership
Consumers are highly attuned to nonprofit-corporate partnerships. As a result, they want to see the complete picture and seek details of partnerships (61%) before deciding to support the cause. Plus they want to see results – 75% want to hear about the effect on the social issue or the money raised for the cause. Fewer than half (45%) think nonprofits and companies disclose enough information about their partnerships.
Traditional media channels still resonate effective for nonprofit organizations to use to reach consumers with a message/call-to-action based on the study. The top nine ways are noted below:
- 81% by word-of-mouth from family or friends
- 80% through traditional media (e.g., newspapers, magazines, television)
- 74% in advertising
- 69% at events
- 66% in the store, on a package or at the register
- 64% through standard mail
- 59% through e-mail
- 49% through social media channels (e.g., Facebook, blogs, YouTube, Twitter)
- 29% on mobile devices (via text messaging)
When planning your community impact programs, are you leveraging your support and sharing what you are doing with customers and prospects? If not, this should be integrated into your strategic planning.

Hi! I recently met a girl from France who was trying to read Harry Potter in English. If you've ever tried to read in another language before, you know it's really hard. But it is even harder to read Harry Potter because a lot of the words are not in the dictionary, so she couldn't even look up the words to see what they mean! The words might as well be just gobbledygook letters all scrambled up into nonsense. (You can see where I'm going with this.)
Today's Trivia Quiz is a Harry Potter word scramble, so you can feel what it's like to read Harry Potter in an unfamiliar language. These words can be anything from the Harry Potter books: characters, creatures, plants, you name it. Some are easy; some are hard. Try to unscramble these words and write your answers in the Comments.
- Efhfluuffp
- Rrxocuh
- Bslua oubleedrdm
- xbenubsatoa
- Eelwlydgi
- Ursube hdarig
