I have also seen some of the earlier ones pinned to Grand Army of the Republic coats, C. 1910, or so. They are still making the same medal, and the configuration has not changed too much over the years. Many of these Masonic groups, and other like fraternal organizations boasted a patriotic flavor, which was so prominant when the organizations were in their hay-day. It was not uncommon to see these organizations present at Civil War parades and reunions, as many of their members were also veterans. Early Masonic items can command very high prices. Your's appears to be a piece out of the 20's or so. Value - I am not sure...
As Chris says, they do have a military association through the GAR. They are often referred to as GAR "Mourning Medals" and will be seen in wear at GAR funerals. Some slight variation will be seen in the central device and the black ribbon attachments. Here is one on a GAR uniform that has the "E Pluribus Unum" motto around the eagle.
Notice that in the first medal the eagle faces the arrows of war while in this medal the eagle faces the olilve branch of peace.

- The Scarpetta Factor
- Putnam Adult, 512 pp.
Try A Little Tenderness
The title of Patricia Cornwell's new novel, The Scarpetta Factor, is rather telling, and highlights the direction its author has been moving in for some time. The early Scarpetta novels which made her famous had titles like Postmortem, Body of Evidence, Cruel and Unusual and Cause of Death. Good titles. Possibly a little generic, but that was the point of them: they located the novels firmly in a field which Cornwell did so much to enrich. (Just how much can be demonstrated by picking up one of the unsatisfactory wave of sub-Scarpetta novels which followed her. After Cornwell, an absolute shower.) These days, however, she writes novels like Scarpetta and The Scarpetta Factor. If the latest title sounds like Robert Ludlum on a slow day, it's a pretty fair reflection of her tendencies at the moment.
The novel is a real pageturner, put together with Cornwell's accustomed skill and detail. She handles multiple plot-lines deftly, and withholds just the right amount of information from the reader to make the narrative interesting as well as exciting. She's developed an enjoyable way of beginning novels in the middle of a story, letting her audience watch the characters carry out conversations and actions which they don't yet understand, but which will be unravelled as the book continues. This must be an even harder trick than it looks, and The Scarpetta Factor is driven by the reader's need to find out what the heroes know, as well as what the villains have done. To manage this structure, without simply boring the audience in the early pages by talking over their heads, Cornwell has become even surer in her handling of free indirect discourse. She's been sliding in and out of her characters' heads more frequently over the last few novels, and in The Scarpetta Factor it feels a lot less lurching. In many ways her style has opened out – the books no longer cover a singe series of crimes, and they explore their stories through a number of viewpoints.
With this broadening, however, comes a diffuseness and a loss of friction. Too many of the crimes in The Scarpetta Factor are simply attempts to "get at" its eponymous heroine. We're offered yet another lengthy conspiracy by shadowy forces who hate Scarpetta herself, and have mobilised substantial reserves of time and money over more than one continent in order to bring her down. The same kind of motiveless malignity is directed at Benton and Lucy, Scarpetta's husband and niece. Lucy, whose career in the past has taken in most of the named, and several un-named, forces of the US state, is now revealed to be staggeringly rich as well. A swindle which deprived her of hundreds of millions of dollars is treated in the novel as a personal slight, not as the likely cause of financial hardship. As Cornwell moves further into this rather hum-drum international-conspiracy-thriller territory, her writing pays the price. She certainly didn't use to churn out sentences like Dodie checked into the hospital and was breathing down Benton's neck, and the toying and torturing continued while laughter rose to the rafters inside the medieval house of Chandonne.
These flights of blandness are balanced by some obvious attempts to anchor the narrative. The book is studded with references to Bernie Madoff and "Ponzi schemes", and the phrase "in this economy…" appears frequently enough to attract attention. Very few of the characters seem to be actually affected by the situation, though, and it seems more like lip-service than a genuinely felt element in the novel. When Lucy can afford to drop a nine-figure sum from her portfolio without altering her lifestyle, and Scarpetta is being begged to star in her own TV show, the references to hard times feel rather perfunctory. More effective are the food references: as with the last novel, The Scarpetta Factor ends with a sort of secular communion, gathering all the heroes together to eat together and reassert what they share. As I've mentioned elsewhere, Italian cooking is a key element of the Scarpetta series, and it works again here to ground the fictional world.
The Scarpetta Factor is not a bad book: it's exceptionally well crafted, and shows real flair at several points. The passages in which Scarpetta's memories are jogged by the smell coming from a parcel are very stylish and thoughtful at the same time. There's one striking gap, however, which only becomes obvious once the novel has been finished: there's no room in it for the victims. Kate Summerscale's superb book The Suspicions of Mr Whicher has an epilogue in which she writes of suddenly realising that, whilst examining every facet of the case and its ramifications, she had nearly forgotten the murdered child at the centre. Scarpetta and her band of heroes loom so large in The Scarpetta Factor that there is little room for anyone else, or for any motive not directed towards them. The victims are slipping out of Cornwell's writing, and an important tenderness is going with them.

Car configurators are one of the all-time great online time-wasters. If you want to dream bigger, though, Boeing will let you (virtually) paint a new 787 Dreamliner.
The "Design Your Own" program is paint-only and not really a true configurator; fitting the cabin for a commercial airplane requires something akin to a professional interior designer, and it's not like you're going to be deciding between piano black and carbon fiber for cockpit trim. Playing with livery is enough to keep you preoccupied for a good while, though, and if you've thought that some corporate designs err on the side of drab here's your chance to set things right.
The aircraft-positioning and brush controls are a bit clunky and hard to align; it's clear that Apple didn't do the interface. That said, once you get the hang of it (hint: the cursor point is the tip of the brush) things flow quickly, and some of the options like various heraldry patterns are quite clever.
The website gives you the opportunity to save your work for public display and check out other creations. Should you wish to transfer your pattern to a real aircraft, however, we advise speaking with the senior loan officer at your local bank: a 787 starts around $200 million before that interior designer gets to work. We hope the paint is part of the deal.

Hard to believe that it was just over 4 years ago, in October 2008, that we attended a BlogHer convention in Boston, with my 6 month old baby in tow. We had absolutely zero clue what we were doing, other than the fact that we had enjoyed collaborating on our first little cookbook and wanted to start a food blog. A few months later, we launched Fab Frugal Food, which through the course of a few more conferences, eventually evolved into Apron Strings. To say we've learned a lot in the process is a massive understatement. When we first started, we didn't even include pictures with every post. Can you even imagine?
Rewinding even further: in the first year after Donna and I first reconnected, checking the mailbox was always a big event. So much was exchanged in those early months, nearly every week seemed to bring a new surprise my way. One day I'd get a thick envelope filled with copies of old photographs, and would spend hours marveling at the novelty of seeing my resemblance in others. Another delivery brought a few favorite childhood toys that she had never gotten to pass down to me. Then, one of the most memorable parcels arrived: a huge, fairly hefty box of cherries.
True confession time – I had never really liked cherries much before. I associated them with the freakishly bright maraschino cherries, a flavor (and color) I found unappealing, and I think I had only tasted the real thing once or twice, probably a sad out-of-season representative of its kind. But I was thrilled to try a food that Donna herself had sent me – and from a place that was literally minutes away from her home. Somehow this made me feel even more connected to her.
I sat in my Middletown, Connecticut apartment and made an evening of pitting the cherries, something I had never done before – and savoring samples of them as I went. Cherries were a whole new experience, the taste and texture seemed freshly magical and meaningful. I decided to take it a step further, and set out to make my first from-scratch cherry pie. I must say, though it wasn't much to look at (my baking skills are limited even now, and were all the more limited 13+ years ago), the flavor was spectacular.
Other orchard offerings were to follow, pears and apples in particular, and I made ample use of each and every one of them. If only I had known that blogging would become the wave of the future, I'd have snapped some pictures of the tarts tatin, almond frangipanes, and other creations that resulted, but alas, Instagram was not yet available.
What a long, strange, wonderful trip it's been. We think this calls for a giveaway.
Though we love giving away big gun items like Blendtecs and Kitchen Aids (and surely will again in the future), this time we thought we'd switch it up a little, with something a little more personal. For each of the four years we've been blogging, we're giving away a huge box of glorious Hood River orchard fruit and other savory treats, courtesy of The Fruit Company, the same place from which Donna sent me those cherries, pears and apples.

A new study from a highly respected pharmacologist and University of Rhode Island researcher has found that the over-the-counter diet drug Alli, also known as orlistat or Xenical, can lead to serious kidney and liver damage, causing what the study describes as "severe toxicity of internal organs such as the liver and kidney." The damage is irreversible and can be caused by a low level of the drug.
Further, Professor Bingfang Yan's research found that Alli's metabolic action reduces the effectiveness of many cancer-fighting medications, including some that could otherwise be lifesaving. In fact, the researchers reported that cancer cells multiplied faster under the influence of Alli.
Orlistat, which was originally approved by the FDA in 1999 as the prescription drug Xenical, has become the most popular and commonly used medicine to treat obesity for more than a decade, Yan said. It was approved in 2007 as an over-the-counter medication and called Alli.
"Since it has been available over-the-counter, there has been a drastic increase of toxicity among patients using the drug," Yan said to Science Daily. "It has been linked to severe liver failure, acute pancreatic failure and acute renal (kidney) failure."
Yan said orlistat works in the intestinal tract by preventing fat from being absorbed by the body. It is generally accepted that the drug remains in the intestine and that the body does not absorb it.
"But orlistat is reportedly absorbed, and certainly internal organs such as the liver and kidney are exposed to this drug upon absorption," he said.

Review on the AlpWeek Intermezzo - Tomorrow in the Alps
The future of the Alps begins now and here.
The annual conference of "Alliance in the Alps" will take place on 20 and 21 September 2019 in Triesenberg/FL.
The vision of reducing greenhouse gases and thus limiting climate change is global - but it is at the local level that visions become reality.
The Community Network invites you to save the date for this event on 3-4 April 2019 in Innsbruck/A.
Launch of the "Alpine Partnership for Local Climate Action" on 7th and 8th November 2018 in Innsbruck/A.
The joint conference of the Community Network "Alliance in the Alps" and Cipra International will take place on 25 and 26 May 2018 in Bled/SL.
The Alpine Pluralism Award 2018 will help to make visible recently started and ongoing activities in the Alpine Space, to increase public awareness and provide inspiration for others to replicate these practices.
The project GreenConnect studied the contributions of ecological connectivity measures to a green economy in the alpine context and highlighted some of the potential socio-economic impacts.
For the fourth time overall, Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein will award the International "Constructive Alps" Prize for sustainable architecture. The contest aims at honouring the most outstanding sustainable construction and sustainable renovation projects, in accordance with the principles of sustainable architecture across the Alps.
The manifold aspects of the relationship between the Alps and the people who live, work and recreate there will be the main focus of the fourth edition of the AlpWeek in October 2016 (11. - 15.10.) in Grassau/Achental (Germany).

Spirit pip Boomers
Bendigo Spirit edged out Bulleen Boomers 70-69 in their round two clash at The Veneto Club.
The Boomers were just ahead 35-33 at half-time but a tight third quarter saw the Spirit level scores at 54-54 as the two sides headed into the final term.
The Spirit did just enough in the fourth quarter to ice the win, with Kelly Wilson compiling a 15-point haul for the game.

MERWE, Barend van der and OELOFSE, Marietjie. Theological dissent re synodal directional changes in the Dutch Reformed Church, 1982-1990. Historia [online]. 2011, vol.56, n.2, pp.154-168. ISSN 2309-8392.
ABSTRACT At the 1986 general synod of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC), the church made significant decisions regarding South Africa's political position with regard to racial policy. Although the synod did not condemn the policy of apartheid in principle, some of the decisions taken caused shockwaves to reverberate amongst members of the church. Many members of the DRC were caught off guard as the synod accepted the document Church and Society, declaring that there is no Biblical justification for the policy of apartheid and that the church can no longer refuse entrance to its sermons to any person on the basis of either cultural background or skin colour. The synod also criticised the way that the policy of apartheid was being implemented in South Africa where it resulted in the violation of human rights. As a result, the Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk (APK) was established by a splinter group. Despite this development, the church was also still divided internally, as many of its remaining members supported the policy of apartheid. The article argues that the importance of the decisions made by the synod should neither be overestimated, nor undervalued with regards to the birth of the "new South Africa".

Life is full of challenges – bringing a range of emotions from triumph to despair. Change, welcomed or dreaded, is always just around the corner. Challenges and change can bring fantastic opportunities and they can also bring anxiety, loss and deep uncertainty. Whatever the proverbial winds of change bring, it is temporary. Just like the clouds, nothing is exactly the same again.
Sometimes we long for personal change that will release us from the same old struggles coming up again and again. Sometimes we cling to what is familiar, even if painful, just because it is better than the unknown.
Counselling, psychology and psychotherapy can help you manage the difficulties that you face right now – be they overwhelming or just a niggling worry. It can also help you understand the roots of problems that hold you stuck or keep you circling in a confusing whirlwind of thoughts, emotions and behaviour.

The Ravens' surprising decision Wednesday to cut Bernard Pollard, the hard-hitting and tough-talking safety who led the Super Bowl champions in tackles last season, opens up just $1 million of salary-cap room. So at least on the surface, the move appears to go beyond simple finances.
While team officials have yet to comment on Pollard's release, it continues a trend of offseason activity that has the Ravens' roster — particularly on the defensive side — getting younger, thinner, quieter and in some cases, cheaper.
A little more than a month since the Ravens finished a surprising playoff run with a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII, seven members of that team who started games this past season are gone and several other key performers are free agents, including defensive backs Ed Reed and Cary Williams, and seem poised to leave as well. Reed will visit the Houston Texans on Thursday.
"That's a lot of players and a lot of key guys on the defense to lose," said former Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger at his news conference Wednesday after he signed with the Cleveland Browns. "I am sure that there is a plan in place and that's a great organization. I feel like there's always going to be a plan, but that is a lot of good players leaving. I was really surprised when I heard about a lot of those moves."
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no title-winning team has lost more than five Super Bowl starters before the following season. In short order, the Ravens already have matched that number and that doesn't include Kruger, a pass-rushing specialist who parlayed a team-leading nine-sack season into a five-year, $40 million deal with the rival Browns.
Some of the moves were inevitable and expected. Middle linebacker Ray Lewis, the long time face of the franchise and a future Hall of Famer, retired after his 17th NFL season at the age of 37. One year Lewis' junior, center Matt Birk retired following his 15th season and his first Super Bowl victory. Another senior member of the team, reserve guard Bobbie Williams, was let go last week after he played sparingly last season.
Then came some surprises. On the eve of free agency, the Ravens sent Anquan Boldin, a hero from their playoff run and quarterback Joe Flacco's most trusted target, to the 49ers for a sixth-round pick in April's draft. The trade was consummated only after the 32-year-old Boldin declined to take a pay cut on his $6 million salary for this coming season. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome admitted that it was an "unpleasant" move to make.
Then the market opened Tuesday and not only did the cash-strapped Ravens quickly but not-surprisingly lose Kruger, they watched Dannell Ellerbe, a priority for them to re-sign, agree to a five-year, $35 million deal with the Miami Dolphins. When healthy, Ellerbe had been one of the Ravens' best defensive players last season and was viewed as one of the answers to life after Lewis.
The fifth key defensive player from last year's squad was then jettisoned Wednesday when Pollard, 28, was let go following a season in which he made 98 tackles, two sacks and an interception while playing much of it with cracked ribs.
"Well Raven Nation it's been fun," Pollard said on his Twitter account. "My time in Baltimore is done... Thank you!"
A league source later confirmed that Pollard had been released, which leaves the Ravens without their two starting safeties.
"They've lost a lot of guys but when you look at them individually and look at the depth chart and what they can do, they have some guys they can plug in there," said Daniel Jeremiah, a former Ravens' scout who is currently an analyst for NFL Network. "It's not like they are totally caught with nothing. You get [Jameel] McClain back, they're probably going to add another inside linebacker. They still have a dominant player up front in [Haloti] Ngata, they have [cornerback Lardarius Webb] coming back from an injury. [Terrell] Suggs is still a good edge rusher and they feel great about their corners. I just feel like everything with them is 'the sky is falling' and I'm kind of like, 'Whoa.'"
Ravens' fans should certainly be used to the roster defections. Two offseasons ago, the Ravens cut ties with running back Willis McGahee, wide receiver Derrick Mason, tight end Todd Heap and nose tackle Kelly Gregg and none of the losses prevented them from reaching the AFC championship game. Last offseason, they watched Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs and defensive stalwarts Jarret Johnson and Cory Redding leave in free agency. Eleven months later, they celebrated the organization's second Super Bowl.
"They've been able to for the last couple of years whether it's through free agency or draft or waiting until the final cuts of training camp, to bring guys in that help them win games," said Mason, the Ravens' all-time leading receiver who still has close ties to the organization. "If you're going to judge the Ravens, judge them off their history. Their track history is very good. Yes, you've lost a lot of good players but it happens. It's football."
Jeremiah pointed out the Ravens' history in drafting well — and they could have as many as 12 picks in next month's draft — and their past success in finding free agent bargains later in the signing period. Last offseason, the Ravens made unheralded free agent additions with the signings of wide receiver/kick returner Jacoby Jones and cornerback Corey Graham, both playoff heroes. The free agent market is still deep in several positions of need for the Ravens, including linebacker and safety, and the Ravens are confident that they have already found their first bargain by agreeing to a three-year, $8 million pact with big defensive tackle Chris Canty.
In reality, the Ravens' top decision markers foreshadowed what's currently happening. At the season-ending news conference last month, owner Steve Bisciotti and Newsome promised to not make the same mistakes that hamstrung the organization the last time it won the Super Bowl. Following their Super Bowl XXXV victory, the Ravens restructured or extended the contracts of a boatload of their veterans in an effort to make a run at defending their title. When the Ravens were eliminated in the playoffs the following year, the nucleus of the team was gutted.
"We will not repeat what we did in 2001 because we are trying to build where we can win Super Bowls more than just one more time," Newsome said last month. "We have a great nucleus of young players, players who are just hitting into their prime that we are going to build this team around. We are not going to be restricting contracts and do all of those different things to be able just to maintain this team to make another run. But … that doesn't mean that we don't want to try to go and repeat."
The moves to this point have helped the Ravens inch closer to their organizational goals. The team has already gotten considerably younger as Lewis, Birk, Williams and Boldin were among four of the six oldest players on the team and Reed is also in that group.
The team has also gained some financial flexibility going forward, which should help next offseason when the salary cap numbers of Flacco, Webb and others rise significantly, and tight end Dennis Pitta and offensive tackle Michael Oher are among those eligible to hit free agency. The front office's unwillingness to extend Boldin's deal was the latest example of their reticence to add more money on the books for next season.
If there was any lingering question after the Ravens made Flacco the highest paid player in NFL history earlier this month, there isn't any more with the overhauling of their defense. The Ravens' identity has shifted to the offensive side of the ball, a transition that started this past season. With the likes of Lewis, Boldin, Pollard and maybe Reed — all vocal players who weren't afraid to challenge coaches and teammates — now gone, the Ravens are in ideal position to morph into Flacco's team.
"I think people are looking at it from a standpoint like a racehorse. Their vision is blocked right now. They see straight ahead and nothing else," Mason said. "As fans, you appreciate that but you have to see the big picture. Ozzie understands what he's doing. He's been down this road before. He's not going to detract from the team without having a plan."

President Obama Tuesday night told an American public weary of war that it is time to "turn the page" on the war in Iraq. And although he said the formal end of US combat operations in Iraq would allow the military to turn fuller attention to the war in Afghanistan, Mr. Obama also repeated his pledge to begin a drawdown of troops in Afghanistan next summer.
In what was only the second prime-time address of his presidency from the White House, Obama appeared to acknowledge that he was speaking to an audience that is now much more preoccupied with the state of the economy than with the two wars he inherited. From the outset of the Obama speech on August 31, the president set a theme of refocusing American energies on the home front.
"Today, our most urgent task is to restore our economy and put the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work," Obama said in his 20-minute address. Paying tribute to the more than 1.5 million American service members he said have served in Iraq over the course of seven years of war, he said the nation must now "tackle [our] challenges at home with as much energy and grit and sense of common purpose as our men and women in uniform who have served abroad."
"In the days to come," he added, this restoration of America's economic might "must be our central mission as a people, and my central responsibility as president."
Yet despite this focus on a return to "nation building at home," Obama also emphasized that the US role in Iraq would continue – although now under a civilian lead. And, he said, this "milestone" of a transition from combat operations to civilian-led partnership with the Iraqis should "serve as a message to the world that the United States of America intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership in this young century."
Tuesday night's Oval Office address appeared to offer a few hints as to the president's position on several questions that have arisen recently around the US efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What if Iraq destabilizes with the departure of US combat forces, and Iraqi officials ask for an extension to the December 2011 deadline for the departure of the remaining 50,000 troops serving in an advisory role? The president appeared to close the door ever tighter on any modification of the US-Iraq agreement signed under former President Bush.
And what if Afghanistan, where American casualties have recently spiked as Obama's "surge" has taken place, is not ready a year from now for a drawdown of US forces? The president seemed adamant about keeping to his plan for a "transition to Afghan responsibility" for the country's security beginning in August 2011.
"Make no mistake, this transition will begin" a year from now, he said.
As for Iraq, he stated unequivocally, "All US troops will leave by the end of next year."
Some political analysts had fretted before the speech that Obama would use the occasion as a "victory lap" in the same way that Mr. Bush famously declared "mission accomplished" for Iraq in May 2003. But Obama seemed more interested in reminding the American people that he was keeping a campaign promise to "end" the war in Iraq responsibly.
In that sense, it seems all the more likely that Obama will stick to the pledges concerning Iraq and Afghanistan that he made in this speech – especially given that the end of 2011 will be less than year from his assumed reelection bid.

An experienced clinician within the medical community should perform a diagnostic evaluation. If one is not available, the neurology department of the nearest medical university should be able to recommend appropriate resources or may even provide an experienced diagnostic team skilled in Lewy body dementia.
A thorough dementia diagnostic evaluation includes physical and neurological examinations, patient and family interviews (including a detailed lifestyle and medical history), and neuro-psychological and mental status tests. The patient's functional ability, attention, language, visuospatial skills, memory and executive functioning are assessed. In addition, brain imaging (CT or MRI scans), blood tests and other laboratory studies may be performed. The evaluation will provide a clinical diagnosis. Currently, a conclusive diagnosis of LBD can be obtained only from a postmortem autopsy for which arrangements should be made in advance. Some research studies may offer brain autopsies as part of their protocols. Participating in research studies is a good way to benefit others with Lewy body dementia.
Medications are one of the most controversial subjects in dealing with LBD. A medication that doesn't work for one person may work for another person. Become knowledgeable about LBD treatments and medication sensitivities.
Prescribing should only be done by a physician who is thoroughly knowledgeable about LBD. With new medications and even 'over-the-counter,' the patient should be closely monitored. At the first sign of an adverse reaction, consult with the patient's physician. Consider joining the online caregiver support groups to see what others have observed with prescription and over-the-counter medicines.
Risk Factors
Advanced age is considered to be the greatest risk factor for Lewy body dementia, with onset typically, but not always, between the ages of 50 and 85. Some cases have been reported much earlier. It appears to affect slightly more men than women. Having a family member with Lewy body dementia may increase a person's risk. Observational studies suggest that adopting a healthy lifestyle (exercise, mental stimulation, nutrition) might delay age-associated dementias.
Clinical Trials
The recruitment of LBD patients for participation in clinical trials for studies on LBD, other dementias and Parkinsonian studies is now steadily increasing.
For those interested in participating in LBD research, please check our Learn About Clinical Trials page.
Prognosis and Stages
No cure or definitive treatment for Lewy body dementia has been discovered as yet. The disease has an average duration of 5 to 7 years. It is possible, though, for the time span to be anywhere from 2 to 20 years, depending on several factors, including the person's overall health, age and severity of symptoms.
Defining the stages of disease progression for LBD is difficult. The symptoms, medicine management and duration of LBD vary greatly from person to person. To further complicate the stages assessment, LBD has a progressive but vacillating clinical course, and one of its defining symptoms is fluctuating levels of cognitive abilities, alertness and attention. Sudden decline is often caused by medications, infections or other compromises to the immune system and usually the person with LBD returns to their baseline upon resolution of the problem. But for some individuals, it may also be due to the natural course of the disease.

I believe a 1 1/2 thick pizza is around a .15 TF? Pete will know. Hopefully he'll see this to verify or correct.
I have a cast iron pan similar to this 1: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8246375I don't know what I did with the booklet but I assume that it can be heated to 500f +.A) Does anyone know what temperature cats iron can heat to, without breaking.B) Would this type of pizza cook good in that cast iron pan? (without preheating the pan though)C) Would I have to worry about the acidity from the tomatoes? I know you can't cook acidic things in cast iron, but they are on top of the pizza, then again if any spills over it could be a problem I guess. What do you think? Trying to figure out what pan I can use. My mother said the casserole dishes can only reach like 350...so thats probably out of the question unless you bake Sicilians at 350.
Oh and about the topping idea, sounds good but how should I dry the tomatoes? 300f? How long should it take? Also I like feta cheese in very small amounts mixed with other cheeses and only have like a tbsp of it left anyway, could I mix the feta with any of those other cheese to make a similar topping? maybe some of the mozzarella or some Parmesan cheese?
Also after looking at pictures around the Chicago forum and the Sicilian forum, I am looking for the thickness of a Chicago. but a crisp crust and moist bread-like interior, is that a Chicago? or a Sicilian? or something else? any recipe ideas? atm in about 1-2 hours I've got to make the dough and atm I was thinking a Chicago sounds closer so to try that.
Flour (100%):Water (61%):CY (2.5%):Salt (2.5%):Olive Oil (5%):Total (171%):Single Ball:497.12 g | 17.54 oz | 1.1 lbs303.24 g | 10.7 oz | 0.67 lbs12.43 g | 0.44 oz | 0.03 lbs | 12.43 g | 0.44 oz | 0.03 lbs | 3.66 tsp | 1.22 tbsp24.86 g | 0.88 oz | 0.05 lbs | 5.52 tsp | 1.84 tbsp850.07 g | 29.98 oz | 1.87 lbs | TF = 0.1515425.04 g | 14.99 oz | 0.94 lbsI increased the yeast, and am going to use warm to touch water to help boost the 1st proof, let it sit out 20-30 minutes probably and then take it out 1-2 hours ahead to warm up (depending how proofed it looks then) I don't think this recipe usually has a pre-proof but it's also not suppose to be used within 18 hours so I am guessing it would need it. I also increased the hydration 3%. mostly because I usually tend to add too much flour in while kneading. The only thing I'm really scared about is i'm not sure if the 5% oil goes in the dough or in the pan or 1/2, 1/2.
The pizzas...could have been slightly thicker for my preference

From a report from Ben Tinker, CNN
More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's today, with another person developing the disease every 68 seconds. By 2050, the number of people living with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple.
As if those numbers weren't staggering enough, consider this: Alzheimer's disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 (it's currently ranked No. 6) in the United States that can't be prevented, cured or slowed down.
Ask any expert, and he or she will tell you that early diagnosis is key to helping patients live better day today, so even though the disease is still progressing, the symptoms are less harsh.
"Our hope is that if we could identify patients who are developing the disease early, it would give us a much better opportunity to intervene with treatments, and it's much more likely for those treatments to be effective."Dr. Keith Black, chairman of neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
But while early diagnosis leads to early intervention, some news out of the 2013 Alzheimer's Association International Conference is troubling: An expert panel found 16 online tests for Alzheimer's disease scored poorly on scales of overall scientific validity, reliability and ethical factors.
"Self-diagnosis behavior ... is increasingly popular online, and freely accessible quizzes that call themselves 'tests' for Alzheimer's are available on the Internet."
"However, little is known about the scientific validity and reliability of these offerings and ethics-related factors, including research and commercial conflict of interest, confidentiality and consent."
"Frankly," Robillard adds, "what we found online was distressing and potentially harmful." Robillard and her colleagues at the University of British Columbia found that unique monthly visitors for the parent sites hosting the online tests reached as high as 8.8 million.Julie Robillard, University of British Columbia
At the same conference, another study concluded that the misdiagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in Medicarepatients who actually have vascular dementia or Parkinson's disease leads to substantial excess costs of care. The study, conducted by Analysis Group, Inc. and Eli Lilly and Co., found the costs of erroneous care to be in excess of $14,000 a year per patient .
The silver lining: Those excess costs decline and eventually dissipate following a correct diagnosis.
"Recent developments in technology have greatly improved our ability to properly diagnose patients with cognitive impairment."
"Our results suggest that there are economic benefits to properly diagnosing -- as early as possible -- the cause of the cognitive impairment."Noam Kirson, Analysis Group
If you suspect a family member or friend is developing Alzheimer's, take a look at these 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's Disease, put together by the Alzheimer's Association:
1. Memory changes that disrupt daily life
2. Challenges in planning or solving problems
3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or at leisure
4. Confusion with time or place
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
6. New problems with words in speaking or writing
7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
8. Decreased or poor judgment
9. Withdrawal from work or social activities
10. Changes in mood and personality
Rather than diagnose Alzheimer's disease at home, head to your doctor's office. You can also find more information at www.alz.org, or by calling the Alzheimer's Association's 24-hour hotline at (800) 272-3900.
The importance of early detection and early intervention can't be stressed strongly enough. It could mean added years of lucidity and life for you or someone you love.
From a planning point of view, many experts suggest Long-Term Care Insurance and other savings plans to be part of a retirement plan well before someone has any health issues.

The voice of John Zizioulas may turn out to be the fresh voice for which theology and especially ecclesiology have long been waiting. In the context of a complete theology, which includes extended consideration of the major theological topics--the Trinity, Christology, eschatology, ministry, and sacrament, but above all, the Eucharist--the author propounds a fresh understanding, based on the early Fathers and the Orthodox tradition, of the concept of person, and so of the Church itself.
His consideration of the local church as "catholic" in the literal sense, and the need to understand the universal Church not as a superstructure but as the communion of all Churches, provides the program for the ecclesiology of the future.
Yves Congar has written that he considers the author to be "one of the most original and profound theologians of our epoch" and that he "presents a penetrating and coherent reading of the tradition of the Greek Fathers."
The Author:John Zizioulas is Metropolitan of Pergamon in the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
Being as Communion is part of the CONTEMPORARY GREEK THEOLOGIANS SERIES.
Other books included in the series are: Hymn of Entry by Archimandrite Vasileios, The Deification of Man by Georgios I. Mantzaridis, Deification in Christ by Panayiotis Nellas, and The Freedom of Morality by Christos Yannaras.

Rooney out with toe injury, doubt for Bayern return
The England striker suffered the injury during the second half of the 1-1 draw with Bayern at Old Trafford last Tuesday. United face the German champions in the return on Wednesday.sports Updated: Apr 05, 2014 11:22 IST
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney will miss Saturday's Premier League game at Newcastle United with a bruised toe and is doubtful for next week's Champions League quarter-final second leg at Bayern Munich, manager David Moyes said.
The England striker suffered the injury during the second half of the 1-1 draw with Bayern at Old Trafford last Tuesday. United face the German champions in the return on Wednesday.
"Wayne's got a badly bruised toe," Moyes told MUTV on Friday. "He picked it up in the game the other night. Whether we were going to play him or rest him, it doesn't matter.
"He's got a terrible toe and not only will it be a problem for this game, it could be a problem for the Munich game as well on Wednesday. So we need to monitor it. We'll get him treatment all over the weekend and see if we can speed it up."
United, seventh in the league, are already missing first-choice striker Robin Van Persie for up to another four weeks with a sprained knee he picked up after scoring a hat-trick against Olympiakos Piraeus in the Champions League last month.
"It will be touch and go for Wayne for Wednesday," Moyes told reporters. "It's a toe injury and they are never easy. You could see him limping in the game towards the end quite badly.
"There is not an awful lot you can do with a toe injury. Sometimes you can feel better quite quickly with them and sometimes you need an injection possibly to play with it if it is bruising," Moyes was quoted as saying by British media.
"With a lot of toe injuries you have to make sure there isn't a hairline fracture or crack in your toe. We will have all that checked."

Well, I'm off to the Big Apple today for the Quilters Take Manhattan event to benefit the Alliance of American Quilts. I plan on taking lots of pictures and telling you all about the weekend when I get back on Sunday. In the meantime, here is the finished quilt I made for Jennifer Paganelli, who will be talking about Modern Quilting at tonight's panel discussion. Jennifer shared the quilt on her blog yesterday, so I thought I'd share with you today. I'm so excited that my work is a little part of the program. It's such an honor and it has been so amazing to work with Jennifer.
I'm calling it Sis Boom String and it measures about 75" x 75". I hope to have the pattern to share with you soon.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

I have been going to the White Village for years. I have always had a great meal and the banquet is a treat. Costa and staff are excellent and very friendly. Highly recommended."UrbanSpoon
Myself and my partner wen't here based on other reviews from this site, and boy I was so happy The customer service, in particular from the manager/owner, a fellow by the name of Costa was above and beyond. The setting was nice. We were impressed by this and decided to go all out and get a banquet. Everything was great. I usually don't like prawns but they cooked it so well I devoured it willingly. The salads, entree's, meats, seafood were great. The desert was good but just a little too sweet for my liking, but I don't doubt for a second it was authentic. I highly recommend this restraunt. Great prices as well. Will be back there very soon."UrbanSpoon
What can I say, I eat there about once a week sometimes even more, ever since I started eating there I stopped cooking at home! I'm obsessed with the feta they use in the Greek salad. Customer survive (sic) is great... Food is traditional and what Greek food should taste like."UrbanSpoon

|Mother Goose Stories
|Written by
|David Angus
|Brian Henson
In the eight minute pilot episode for the series, Mother Goose tells her three goslings the story of Humpty Dumpty.
There once was a large speckled hen who lived near the royal palace. One day, she laid an extraordinarily large egg. It was the prince of all eggs, and so she decided to name it "Prince Humpty Dumpty". The other eggs in the nest come to resent Humpty Dumpty because of his size, so they push him out of the nest. Humpty Dumpty enters the world with the deluded notion that he is a great prince. Humpty thinks the barnyard is no place for royalty and sets out for his proper place at the castle. He soon meets a bird named Coutchie-Coulou and invites him to come along and become his royal footman.
The pair soon reach the castle's outer wall. They are about the climb the wall when they hear the princess talking to a prince. The princess explains that her father the king has passed a law stating that whomever can create a riddle that he cannot answer will earn his daughter's hand in marriage. The prince is saddened by the news, as the two want to get married, but he is inept at devising good riddles.
Humpty, overhearing this, decides that the only thing more prince-like than living in a castle is marrying a princess. He decides to think up a riddle to ask the king and marry the princess himself. Humpty Dumpty climbs the wall and sits atop it while waiting for the king. The prince is also sitting in the courtyard trying to create a riddle a thinking out loud; however, Humpty chimes in and solves each one of the prince's riddles effortlessly.
Soon, the king approaches in his royal carriage. Humpty Dumpty calls to the king, declaring that he has a riddle for him. The king stops, but Humpty Dumpty, sitting to close to the edge, falls off the wall and cracks. This inspires the young prince with a riddle for the king.
- Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
- Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
- All the king's horses and all the king's men
- Couldn't put Humpty together again.
- What was Humpty Dumpty?
The king is stumped, and says there is no answer to such a riddle. The prince explains that Humpty Dumpty was an egg. The king is impressed and allows the pair to wed. As the king, princess and prince ride off into the castle, Coutchie-Coulou is left with the broken shell of Humpty Dumpty. Suddenly, Humpty Dumpty emerges from under the broken shell as a chick. The two birds walk towards the castle where Humpty Dumpty grows up to become king of the royal farmyard.
- The story was loosely adapted from the tale of Humpty Dumpty in L. Frank Baum's "Mother Goose in Prose."
- Taping for the episode took place on November 17, 1987. [1]
- James Conway as the prince
- Katy Boughton Smith as the princess

Britney Spears
Britney Jean Spears was born in Mississippi on December 2, 1981, and raised in Louisiana, where she starting taking dancing and singing lessons at an early age.
She first rose to fame as a member of "The Mickey Mouse Club," which she joined in 1992. Among her co-stars on the Disney Channel series were none other than Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, and eventual boyfriend Justin Timberlake. In 1997, shortly after "The Mickey Mouse Club" was canceled, Spears signed with Jive Records.
Her debut album, "…Baby One More Time," was released in 1999, selling 10 million copies in its first year. That was followed the next year by the chart-topping "Oops… I Did It Again." To date, Spears has released nine studio albums, her most recent being the 2016 hit "Glory."
While her music has been featured in numerous films, Spears also starred in the 2002 movie "Crosswords." Additionally, she's appeared on several TV shows, including "How I Met Your Mother." And in 2012, Spears was a judge on "The X Factor," replacing former judge Nicole Scherzinger.
Spears went on to headline her very own Las Vegas show, "Britney: Piece Of Me," from 2013-2017. By most accounts, the production, staged at the AXIS theater inside the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, was a commercial success. Her last performance was watched by 25.8 million people when it aired live on ABC's "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve." A little more than a month later, Spears announced she was taking her Las Vegas concert on tour, stopping at various U.S. and European cities throughout July and August of 2017.
Over the course of her career, Spears has won a slew of awards. She's been nominated for a Grammy award seven times, and in 2005, she took one home for Best Dance Recording for the song "Toxic." Spears has also won, among other accolades, seven Billboard Music Awards and six MTV Video Music Awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.
On the personal front, in January 2004, after spending New Year's Eve together in Las Vegas, Spears hastily wed her childhood friend Jason Alexander. The marriage was annulled 55 hours later. Later that same year, after just five months of knowing each other, the singer exchanged vows with backup dancer Kevin. Two sons, Sean and Jayden, were born in quick succession and by 2006, the couple had split with Spears filing for divorce on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences."
Since then, Spears has dated a number of men, including Sam Lutfi, Jason Trawick, Charlie Eberson, and David Lucado. Spears is currently in a relationship with fitness model Sam Asghari. They met in October 2016 on the set of Spears' music video for "Slumber Party." While Spears and Asghari initially kept their romance private, as they grew more serious, the two have become more open about their love for one another on social media.
