Many years ago while attending school in the Blue Ridge Mountains
I ate Brown Sugar Pie. I have looked for this recipe for years.
Can you get it for me?
Hi S.N.
Well, there are a few hundred brown sugar pie recipes. Below are some basic ones, but
there are a lot of variations. If the pie you had contained additional ingredients, let me
know and I'll look for a more specific recipe.

Subject: Question on cost basis for stocks
One of my stocks split (not evenly) and I need to figure the
new cost basis. Is there a formula I can use?
JP
Hi Joan,
This site has a good explanation of stock splits:
Fool.com
Basically, it's like this:
If you have 10 shares of X at $10.00 and it splits at 2 for 1, then you now have 20 shares of X at $5.00
If it splits at 3 for 2, then you now have 15 shares at $6.66
If 5 for 4, then you now have 12.5 shares at $8.00
Formula:
Multiply the number of shares of the stock that you have times the first number and divide by the second number:
For a 5 for 4 split: 5 times 10 = 50 divided by 4 = 12.5 shares (new number of shares you will have)
THEN
Multiply the price per share times the second number and divide by the first number:
4 times $10.00 = $40.00 divided by 5 = $8.00 per share, which is the new cost basis.

Subject: BRICK OVEN ?
I have been searching the web trying to find plans on making a brick
bread and pizza oven in my yard. I have had no luck locating drawings
or plans, any Help Would Be Appreciated
Thank you, Steve
Hello Steve,
Well, I didn't have a great deal of success, but I did find:
Plans for building an adobe oven:
https://www.home.aone.net.au/elhorno/explore.htm
Peter Moore Masonry shows how they build a brick pizza oven, but it's not really plans as such:
Vermont Brick Oven
That's all I could find. You might check back issues of do-it-yourself magazines, such as "Mother Earth News", etc.
