text: I have recently purchased an Acer Aspire 6530 laptop, which comes shipped with Windows Vista x86. I promptly made the restore DVDs, and installed Windows 7 x64, with no issues, except, one rather important one: the TouchPad driver does not work. When Windows first booted, the driver that comes with Windows worked fine. You did not get the scroll functionallity from the side of the pad, which is meant to act like a scroll, but it recognized movement and the two click buttons. After getting on the internet, Windows automatically went out and found the Synaptics TouchPad driver for me. Now, according to Device Manager, the driver will function after a restart. TouchPad works fine, go to restart, driver is applied, and.. nothing. The mouse will not move. Any USB mouse if plugged in works fine, but the click buttons and the movement on the pad do nothing. If you go into Device Manage and uninstall the device, the TouchPad works again! It seems whatever TouchPad drivers that are loaded with Windows 7 work like a charm, besides the built in scroll area, work wonderfully, but the driver that it automatically downloads/installs on boot does not after restarting and applying that driver, even though the device is fully functional according to Device Manager. Is there any way to FORCE the built in Windows 7 drivers, or a known fix to get the normal ones to work? Does this have to do with 64bit vs 32bit at all? Note: I have downloaded the driver from the Acer website for Vista and ran it in compadibility mode for Vista, with no change, so it is not just the one Win is automatically finding. Note2: I tried booting without any internet connection after disabling the driver, but Windows went ahead and installed the driver anyway. It was either still downloaded, or in fact comes with 7 and is not gotten through Windows Update, but is not installed initially? Plug and play is weird sometimes =/. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


text: I have an XF forum that I closed down a while ago due to having time issues keeping it going. I'd like to get it kicked back off again but am worried about not having it updated for such a long time. I'd rather not tinker with it myself so am wondering whether someone would be willing to bring it up to date for me and then potentially support it going forward with any queries etc I may have. Happy to take suggestions from people as to who you think would be willing to do this. Thanks

Edward Copelan, MD, FACP
Carolinas HealthCare System's Levine Cancer Institute is expanding its hematology-oncology program, in an effort to give patients with aggressive types of blood cancer increased access to comprehensive treatment options.
The expansion includes a new hematologic malignancies unit that will open in January 2014. It will be the first of its kind, designed to treat adult blood and marrow transplant patients in the greater Charlotte region.
The unit will include:
The program's expansion will also support the development of new research at the Institute. By the end of 2013, physicians are slated to enroll patients in at least four new clinical trials.
Belinda Avalos, MD
"The expansion and enhancement of our hematology-oncology program exemplifies how Levine Cancer Institute is constantly evolving and adapting to meet the growing needs of patients, so that they have access to the best care possible," said Edward Copelan, MD, FACP, chairman of the department of hematologic oncology and blood disorders. "Our team of newly recruited outstanding blood cancer experts will work together to provide state-of-the-art care for patients closer to home, while also making significant strides in clinical research."
Dr. Copelan, who was recruited from Cleveland Clinic in 2012, is overseeing the development of the program. He and Belinda Avalos, MD, vice chair of the department of hematologic oncology and blood disorders, recently had a large international study accepted by Blood, a leading hematology-oncology medical journal, which demonstrates the efficacy of a radiation-free treatment option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing transplantation. Under Dr. Copelan's leadership, the Institute's Leukemia, Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma Program is managed by newly recruited and nationally renowned physicians:

Canada prices fall, recovery signals brighten
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian consumer prices had the second steepest fall in more than 50 years in August, suggesting inflation will not trouble policymakers as they plot how to undo expansionary measures taken during the recession.
Statistics Canada also said on Thursday that the composite leading indicator rose by a sharper-than-expected 1.1 percent in August, the latest sign the economy is pulling out of deep recession.
Statscan said an increase of more than 1 percent usually only happens in the early stages of economic recovery from a downturn.
Consumer prices overall fell by 0.8 percent in August from a year earlier, the second-largest 12-month drop since 1953, Statscan said. In July, consumer prices slid 0.9 percent at an annual rate, which was the sharpest drop since 1953 when the CPI fell 1.4 percent.
Prices in August were dragged down by falling gasoline prices. On a monthly basis, prices were little changed from July.
Core inflation, considered a better gauge of underlying prices because it excludes volatile items such as gasoline and some foods, met expectations by inching up 0.1 percent on the month and 1.6 percent year-on-year.
The period of falling prices, or deflation, is widely expected to be short-lived, with prices rebounding later this year as the economy expands. Still, the Bank of Canada sees both core and overall inflation staying below its 2 percent target until mid-2011.
"We haven't seen the end to the downsides on core consumer prices going forward," said Derek Holt, vice-president at Scotia Capital Economics. Continued...

Anyone here have her cookbooks and what do you think of them?
Anyone here have her cookbooks and what do you think of them?
Sad news; very sad. I had not heard this yet. I do not know her personally but know her book, Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, quite well. If I had only one Italian cookbook to recommend to someone learning Italian cookery that would be it.
My favorite post of all times:
My second favorite post of all times:
My favorite post of all times:
My second favorite post of all times:
She was a Goddess. Her cookbooks are wonderful. Accessible, straightforward writing, good, fresh Italian foods from all around the country. A lot of it is very simple but also very delicious. I would use the "A" word (authentic) but that always stirs up a debate. I have several of her cookbooks and only recently scored a second hand copy of The Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, which induced me to break my self-imposed cookbook buying fast because I couldn't pass it up.
She is credited with changing the way Americans thought about and ate Italian food.
The NYT obit was interesting.
If I could keep only one cookbook, it might be _Essentials_. It's good not only on the what, but the why: Italian cooking is not so much a bunch of recipes as ways of thinking about food. That, I think, is the authenticity CT notes.
I'd love to hear from someone who has her complete works about the different books.
I don't know much about Italian cooking, but I do recall reading an article in a magazine many years ago by an American Italian woman, who said that back in Italy they weren't obsessed with cheese, tomatoes and pasta, which is what many folks think Italian cuisine is all about. I recall that this article included a bunch of 'authentic' Italian recipes that contained absolutely none of these 3 things.

Myosins isolated from vertebrate smooth muscles and non-muscle cells such as lymphocytes and platelets contain regulatory light chains (M<latex>$_r$</latex> = 20 000), which are phosphorylated by a Ca<latex>$^{2+}$</latex>-calmodulin-dependent kinase and dephosphorylated by a Ca<latex>$^{2+}$</latex>-insensitive phosphatase. Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chains of these myosins in vitro regulates not only their interactions with actin but also their assembly into filaments. Under approximately physiological conditions (0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.0) stoichiometric levels of Mg-ATP disassemble these non-phosphorylated myosin filaments into species with sedimentation coefficients (S<latex>$^o$</latex><latex>$_{20,w}$</latex>) of approximately 11S. Hydrodynamic and electron microscope observations have indicated that this 11S species is a monomer with a folded conformation (Trybus et al., Proc. natn. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 79, 6151 (1982)). Rotary shadowing reveals that the tails of disassembled gizzard and thymus myosins are folded twice at two hinge points to form a folded three-segment structure. Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chains of these myosins causes these folded 11S molecules to unfold into the conventional extended monomeric form (6S), which is able to assemble into filaments. Thus in vitro these myosin filaments can be assembled or disassembled by phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of their light chains. Whether these results have any relevance to the situation within living non-muscle and smooth muscle cells remains to be established.

Consortium appointed technical consultants for Swedish high-speed rail project
5 June 2015 • Author: Katie Sadler, Digital Content Producer, European Railway Review
Swedish Transport Agency, Trafikverket, has appointed the COWI and SYSTRA Consortium as technical consultants for the high-speed Ostlänken or Eastern Link project.
Ostlänken, the Swedish high-speed rail project, is a new double-track high-speed railway in the eastern part of Central Sweden. Ostlänken will be part of a future high-speed railway running between Sweden's metropolitan centres and the Scandinavian capital regions.
Ostlänken will be approximately 150 km long and is planned to carry trains travelling at speeds of up to 320 km/h from Stockholm to Gothenburg and Malmö to Copenhagen.
The Swedish Transport Agency has appointed the COWI and SYSTRA Consortium as technical consultants for the third package of the Eastern Link. The project includes developing 65km of track and railway systems from Sillekrog to Stavsjö with a link to Nyköping and a new station at Skavsta Airport. Overall, the assignment includes 77 bridges and some short length tunnels.
Pascal Mercier, SVP Northern Europe Region at SYSTRA, commented on the consortium appointment: "We are very proud and pleased to have been awarded this assignment. It is a prestigious project that will strengthen our presence in Sweden and will further broaden our international credential in the field of high speed rail design."

Located just minutes from Hollywood, Burbank, California offers visitors an excellent opportunity to tour film studios and view all the infamous places that house the stars. Each year, thousands of tourists come to this area with hopes of catching a glimpse of their favorite star. Burbank's central location also makes it a great destination for those wishing to visit Disneyland or Beverly Hills. However, the high number of tourists around the area results in a high level of pedestrian traffic. Many tourists choose to get around on foot while looking for great shopping or dining which leaves a greater opportunity for pedestrian related accidents.
Each year, thousands of individuals are injured or killed in pedestrian accidents across Southern California. Many car and truck drivers are distracted while driving, as they often text on their cell phones, speak with passengers, or even drive under the influence. These negligent and reckless driving behaviors often cause drivers to cruise through stop signs or lights, hit or ramp up onto curbs, or ignore pedestrian crosswalks. As of 2010, California has the highest number of pedestrian car accidents, according to a report presented to the Governors Highway Safety Association.
Although pedestrian accidents usually only cause mild injuries, such as bruising or broken bones, they can lead to more serious injuries that can require extensive medical care. If you or a loved one have been involved in an accident as a pedestrian there are law firms, such as SeriousAccidents.com, that specialize in defending personal injury in order to get you reasonable compensation.
Under California law, pedestrians have rights and are protected from reckless drivers. If you or a loved one was involved in a pedestrian accident and was found not to be a fault, you shouldn't have to suffer from injury and high medical bills. Research personal injury attorneys, and refuse to let negligence go unpunished.

Jonathan Fleming Sails Through Groundhog DayElance_Cathy | Feb 01, 2008
Do you ever feel like you are living the same day over and over again? Like Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog Day," many of us get stuck in recurring routines that may be holding us back in our professional or personal lives.
Elance buyer and realtor, Jonathan Fleming, broke out of the day-to-day routine by using Elance to find and hire professionals to help him supercharge his real estate business while launching new ventures including public speaking and consulting.
Jonathan uses Elance for all aspects of his business - from writing sales letters and updating his real state blogs to managing his customer database and producing podcasts.
Before working with professionals from Elance, Jonathan spent a lot of time on administrative work. With the use of technology and Elance, Jonathan has been able to automate many aspects of his business, freeing him up to spend more time with clients, show and sell property and work on his other business initiatives.
"The ability to have a team of people working for me without a full time staff on my day-to-day payroll is amazing. I have my army when I need them," said Jonathan. "In addition to launching my public speaking and consulting ventures, I am planning to write two books in 2008. I will have Elancers help me with these projects as well."
What would you like to change about your daily routine? Could Elance help?

Systems, Systems and more Systems. Take a look at your business first and foremost to ask yourself not about saving money, I think it is more about productive enhancement, growth and building your the core essentials of your business. My business is heavily entrenched in "Lead Generation and Servicing Clients" so my core duties such as flyer creations, advertising, writing copy, online tech support, blog support and creation, internet marketing and the list goes on and on was money well spent. You might want to tryout small items of outsourcing to get your feet wet then build from that model to other services you can outsource. There are some truly brillant people out there in the world.
Just looking at your business I see some unique things you can do right off....once you get a core group of items you'd like to outsource just put whomever you hire on a trial basis to test it out first! Good luck...Jonathan Fleming

The 20-year-old maid told a fast-track court that she had slapped false charges on the actor, a private TV news channel, CNN-IBN reported.
The domestic help has told the court that she lodged the police complaint against Shiney after the woman who got her the job with the Ahujas asked her to do so.
Shiney Ahuja was arrested on Jun 14, 2009 after the woman accused the actor of forcing himself on her and threatening her against speaking out about the incident.
He had to spend about three months in prison before getting a bail on Oct 1, 2009.
However, the new twist in the case has raised questions as to why Shiney confessed to raping his maid on Jun 17, 2009. Besides this, DNA evidence and medical reports had confirmed rape.
2009 Recall:
- Shiney Ahuja confesses to raping his housemaid
- Ahuja Rape Row: Medical report confirms rape
- Shiney Ahuja's DNA test confirms rape: Police
The court has posted the next hearing for Sep 15 and Ahuja can still be convicted based on other evidence. The maid also faces the threat of being prosecuted for perjury if her latest statement turns out to be false.

Leon Bignell MP
Minister for Recreation and Sport
Top-ranking international golfers competing in the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open have arrived in Adelaide ahead of this week's tournament.
World number one Lydia Ko (New Zealand), number two Ariya Jutanugarn (Thailand), number eight Brooke Henderson (Canada), Christina Kim (US) and defending champion Haru Nomura (Japan) are among those who have touched down in South Australia.
Australians Karrie Webb, Minjee Lee and Su Oh will also compete for prize money worth more than US $1.3 million – making it one of Australia's richest golf prizes.
The four-day tournament starts at the Royal Adelaide Golf Club on Thursday and finishes on Sunday, coinciding with the course's 125th anniversary.
In 2015 South Australia secured the rights to host the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open for 2016, 2017 and 2018. Next year the event will be held at Kooyonga Golf Club.
For more information about the 2017 tournament visit womensausopen.com
The State Government has invested an extra $70 million to market South Australia nationally and internationally and to attract major events and conferences, and is on track to achieve its goal of an $8 billion visitor economy by 2020.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Recreation and Sport, Leon Bignell
More than 30,000 people attended las year's ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open at the Grange Golf Club, which injected $6.5 million into our State's economy.
The Women's Australian Open was broadcast to millions of households across Australia and the world, including in the US, China, Japan and UK.
I'm certain this year's event at the Royal Adelaide Golf Club will generate more incredible results for women's golf and South Australia more broadly.
Events such as the Women's Australian's Open not only contribute to our reputation as a world-class sporting destination, they also shine a spotlight on women's sport – which the State Government supports at all levels, from the grassroots to the elite.

I have a strange obsession with this man's movies—his "pictures," as he calls them. I've literally watched some of them over a hundred times. Maybe I have some kind of crush on him, I don't know. I do know that I tore into From the Atelier Tovar: Selected Writings and read it cover to cover with the groiny tingles of a teenage boy who's just laid hold of a cheerleader's diary, feverish for candor and perfumed secrets.
Maddin's newest feature, The Saddest Music in the World, is adapted from an unpublished script by Kazuo Ishiguro about a competition held in Depression-era Winnipeg with a hefty cash prize for the country or ethnicity with the saddest song. I haven't seen that one yet, but pretty soon here it will be five years since I first saw Careful, the Maddin Picture That Changed My Life. Broke my mind. Didn't just break it, but packed the pieces away in a musty stage illusionist's steamer trunk to bounce around in a horse-drawn wagon for the next five years between performances for ostrich farmers, smallpox victims, amnesiac counterrevolutionaries and the sexually-repressed villagers of an Alpine hamlet threatened year-round by fatal avalanches.
It's gotten a little easier, in that interval, to articulate my Maddin fixation when the subject of "good movies" comes up, now that more people have heard of him. Thanks to a profile heightened considerably by appearances on National Public Radio, Maddin has become, if not a household name, then at least somebody or something familiar to NPR junkies in an "All Things Considered" kind of way. I don't have to go into my pre-recorded song-and-dance number about "This Canadian guy who makes really weird movies meant to look like they're really old" as often as I did before. Now people just ask, "You mean that Canadian guy who makes movies that are supposed to look really old?"
Maddin's pictures—chiefly Careful, Archangel, Tales from the Gimli Hospital and Twilight of the Ice Nymphs—are thrilling and uncomfortable in an untimely-erection-having kind of way, pitched to ever-rising heights of hysterical repression and peopled by characters who wander forgetfully from one melodramatic development to the next. In the period melodrama Archangel, members of an expeditionary force dispatched to northern Russia keep forgetting where they are and who they're in love with—a side-effect of mustard gas peculiar to the movie and purely the invention of Maddin and his co-scenarist, George Toles. And yes, the movies do look really old: Maddin shoots his features, mostly in black and white, on a 16mm Bolex with a bag of visual effects that goes as far back as Méliès but leaves off at Metropolis wizard Eugene Shüfftan.
Maddin once said in an interview that, as a filmmaker, he's "hung around in the '20s longer than the '20s hung around in the '20s." Thanks to his oneiric movie amnesia, I have a whole new appreciation not just for his movies, but for this entire under-appreciated decade in mostly-silent film. The '20s are often bemoaned as a time when cameras stopped moving and the movies got stale, but they were also an era of extravagance and upheaval. Swedish filmmakers started venturing out of doors to film even while the Germans were disavowing natural light, literally painting shadows and sunshine right on their decors.
If Maddin's movies handed me my own set of keys to the '20s, then his writings are kind of like the owner's manual. From the Atelier Tovar collects articles Maddin has written for Film Comment and The Village Voice, unpublished film treatments and diary entries spanning the past 17 years (but mostly the last seven), manic and lyrical and dishy. An editor's note after the foreword (by Mark Peranson) claims that "Maddin did not intend these diaries to be published until, at the very least, his dotage," but a lot of the entries are penned with a self-conscious coyness that suggests the writer never suspected he'd be the only one reading them. And his frankness and self-deprecation are still charming, albeit a little disingenuous. He even has a laugh or two at the nature of diarism, particularly of the conspicuous coffee-shop kind, asking aloud, "When did I sign up for this foreign legion of forty-somethings who travel the world with paperbacks and sit in cafés where cute barristas work? Sometimes I look up and see nothing but colleagues, men of my age, all arrayed with novels and notepads around the central view. Sometimes we log long fruitless hours in trial-and-error attempts to fathom the work schedules of the loveliest. Shouldn't these schedules just be posted on the Internet? It would save everyone a lot of time."
I wouldn't recommend this book to everybody, just like I've learned not to recommend Maddin's movies to everybody. But it's definitely a book for me. Any book with a passage like this one is definitely for me: "The moon is not out yet, but a single bat circles above our courtyard, passes in front of the huge white wall of the hotel making himself nature-show visible…As fathers will, I show off for my daughter by attempting to jam the bat's sonar with a loud fart, which echoes throughout the courtyard, off the pool, off the balconies—my own sonar. A partially concealed female head in a room across the way pivots in puzzlement or disgust."
In a book of innumerable small pleasures, the real joy is "The Child Without Qualities," a previously unpublished autobiographical film treatment that veils significant figures and events in Maddin's childhood—several suicides included—behind a gauzy scrim of purple prose. It's just like his movies: comedy and tragedy so closely intertwined that you can't tell which is which anymore.

If you think about it," says playwright David Greig of the new version of JM Barrie's classic fairy-tale he has authored for the National Theatre of Scotland (NTS), "Peter Pan is the story of a very middle-class girl on the cusp of adulthood. In through her bedroom window climbs a runaway boy, a feral child, who says to this girl, 'come with me to an underworld, run away from home and join me in another land.' He's attractive, he's magical, but she isn't allowed to touch him. Yet still she chooses to follow. Now when I think of how I would cast and play that story, it wouldn't be Bonnie Langford in tights."
Speaking from the NTS's rehearsal space in Govan, Greig – whose plays include Damascus, San Diego and last year's Edinburgh hit Midsummer (A Play With Songs) – enthuses about the size and ambition of this, the organisation's big spring show.
John Tiffany, who took control of the NTS's breakout hit, Black Watch, instigated this project. But rather than blithely trying to recreate the "once in a generation" success of Tiffany's most famous play, Greig asserts their intention to create something new and powerful on its own terms, and to reclaim the tale as a Scots one. Barrie was from Kirriemuir.
The movement of the framing scenes from Edwardian to Victorian England is intended to give the play a darker edge. "The problem with a lot of work for children is that it's actually work for parents," says Greig, "in that it tells them children are sweet and innocent, and that they never worry about love or death, are never attracted by violence, never feel fear. The whole family goes along and everyone's happy – aside from the children, who are bored witless. So I don't think we've created a Peter Pan for adults: I think we've truly reclaimed it for children."

Yesterday i heard a female dance version of Passenger's Let Her Go.
I tried to Shazam it but it didn't work.
For the love god please identify it for me! I am so desperate to find who actually is the singer or if was a remix... it was an uptempo remix but the vocals were indeed well matched with the beat.

Have you ever wondered how to make pizza in a wood fired pizza oven? We make pizza from scratch quite regularly at home so when we had the opportunity to road test a wood fired pizza oven on a recent gourmet getaway we were very excited.
I have quite often considered buying or making a pizza oven for our home, but a little part of me wondered if it would get enough use. Perhaps making pizza outside would be too much of a nuisance. Or maybe our pizza would burn or be dry… After all, I'm used to having a temperature gauge.
I needn't have a worried, as you can see by the above image our wood fired pizza's turned out perfectly.
Food cooked in a wood fire adds so much extra flavour and is much more appealing. I also imaged nights staring into the flames as our food cooked, drinking a glass of wine… it was a very romantic image in my mind.
Our opportunity to use a wood fired pizza oven came during our recent travels. We were "glamping" at the Active Holidays Big 4 in the Hunter Valley. The kids may have noticed the pool first, but it was the camp kitchen was a beautiful stone wood fired pizza oven that sparked my attention. As a bonus, surrounding the camp kitchen was a herb and vegetable garden.
I immediately knew we would be eating pizza for dinner. The Big 4 provided everything necessary to use the pizza oven. When we returned from purchasing the groceries, a big stack of firewood had been left in front of the oven. We also received a crate of kitchen supplies which included 3 pizza pans, pizzas stone, fireproof gloves, a pizza paddle, pizza cutter and instructions for lighting the oven.
Wood Fired Pizza Oven Instructions:
- Light a small fire in the the centre of the oven and wait for the small wood to catch.
- Place the pizza stone in the oven (if using a stone)
- Add larger wood to build the heat in the oven.
- When the flames are licking the sides of the oven and roof, your fire is large enough.
- Maintain the fire at this level for about one hour. This will heat the bricks giving a more even temperature through out the oven.
- When you are ready to cook, push the fire toward the rear of the oven.
- Test the heat by sprinkling a small amount of flour on the area you intend to cook the pizza. If it burns with in a few seconds the area is too hot. Either chose another cooler spot or wait a little longer. If the flour takes about 10 seconds to turn golden you can place the pizza in the oven.
- Slap the pizza paddle on the spot you wish to cook the pizza. This will remove any ash from the area.
- Place the pizza in the oven on the metal tray.
- Close the pizza oven door but keep checking the pizza.
- Once the toppings are melted and the base is a little firm slide the pizza paddle under the pizza base, give the pizza a half turn so that the opposite side is facing the fire.
- Place the pizza back in the oven, this time directly on the pizza stone or floor of the pizza oven.
- Close the pizza oven door.
- Cook until the base is golden and the toppings look good.
- Our pizza only took about 7-10 minutes to cook but this will varying depending on your oven and fire.
When we make pizzas I always make my own dough. At home I have scales and measuring cups but here I had nothing. Thankfully pizza dough is very simple to make "by feel".
How to Make Wood Fired PizzaPrint Recipe
- 3 cups of Flour strong
- 2 tsp yeast
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- dash oil
- extra water to form dough consistency
- I added 2 teaspoons of yeast and one teaspoon of sugar to half a glass of warm water.
- Set aside for 10 minutes or until the yeast has activated and is foamy.
- Put the flour and salt in a pile on the bench.
- Make a well in the middle.
- Add the yeast water and oil to the the flour. Slowly add extra warm water as you mix with one hand and add with the other. You will need enough water to fully incorporate the flour.
- Once the flour is all incorporated knead it vigorously for five minutes.
- Rest the dough covered in a warm spot to rise. it should double in size.
- Once doubled kneed the dough again for 1 minute.
- Divide the dough into three balls and allow to proof again.
- Knock the dough down and roll into circles to fit the pizza pans.
- Spray the pans with olive oil and add the pizza base.
- Top the pizza with tomato paste and desired toppings.
I utilised the Kitchen garden to collect basil and chilli for my pizza. My favourite pizza toppings always include fresh herbs. I also had a craving for feta so I had pesto and mince pizza with basil and feta cheese.
The children enjoyed a slightly plainer Hawaiian Pizza with the addition of some Brie cheese.
Brett like some Italian meats on his pizza and he also loves chilli so his was a very spicy homemade meat lovers pizza.
All the pizza's were an overwhelming success. They tasted so much better than an oven baked pizza. The base was perfectly cooked with a crisp golden hue and the flavour from the oven added something really special to taste.

Recovery rate looks grim for Aralco
By Joan Magee
NEW YORK, March 7 (IFR) - Debt investors are growing increasingly pessimistic about how much money they will get back as embattled sugar and ethanol company Aralco begins a debt restructuring.
Buffeted by sugar prices at multi-year lows as well as struggles to maintain cash flow, Aralco last week filed to restructure USD250m of debt. Its sole outstanding dollar bond, the 2020s, was spotted trading with a wide bid-ask spread on Friday morning, at 8.50-11.50, or around 10.00 mid-market.
This was a touch higher than the level it was trading on Wednesday after news broke that Aralco had filed for restructuring, but was still at an extremely distressed price.
An investor had shown IFR an email from Aralco investor relations official Yutaka Lima saying that it had filed for restructuring on February 28.
On Thursday, Fitch downgraded the company's 2020s to C from CCC and the company's IDR rating to D, putting a recovery rate for unsecured creditors at 10%-30%, something the distressed debt investor said was unrealistic.
"I'd be surprised if the recovery value is above single digits," said the investor, who had listened to a call with the company on Friday.
"The problem is they have no cash and they're selling on a forward basis to keep things running for now unless someone magically puts in some equity, which I don't see happening."

You have a couple of options when making wall-mounted bookshelves. You can build a box-style shelf and mount it to the wall, or you can make a shelf that has no visible means of support for a clean and classic look.
Things You'll Need
- Wood
- Screws
- Wood glue
- Caulk
- Paint
- Stain
- Molding
Box Shelving
Decide how big you want the box shelf to be. Work in full numbers if you're new to woodworking. For a simple shelf, use two pieces of wood cut to 2 feet wide and 4 feet long.
Add two end pieces that are 2 feet square and use glue and screws to secure them together.
Cut a section of plywood and attach it to the frame with screws. Screw through the back so the screws won't show. Screw through the back into studs for a simple wall mounted shelf.
Add any embellishments you like to the shelf by using crown molding, paint or stain to enhance its appearance.
Suspended Wall Shelving
Build a hollow box. Make it as wide and long as you like and use glue and screws to secure it together.
Attach a length of board cut to fit the hollow of the box you built in Step 1. Screw them into the studs at an angle. The appearance of this won't matter, as it won't be seen.
Slide the box over the wood attached to the stud and screw it into place from the bottom.
Countersink the screws and fill them with wood putty. Touch up the paint or stain once the putty is dry.
Embellish your wall mounted bookshelf with crown molding, dental molding, or by routing the edges for a more decorative look.
Tips & Warnings
- You can make the shelves described above any size you like. Reinforce the box-shaped shelf with supports just like the end walls if you make it very long. This creates compartments that provide strength and help avoid bowing.
- Sketch out the dimensions of the wall-mounted bookshelves you want to build and take it with you to your local home improvement store. They can cut the wood to size for you, making your construction much easier.
