The lights are on
Looking for a survival Horror group? I was as well. Looking to reminisce about such classics as Eternal darkness, Resident Evil and Silent Hill? Why am I asking so many questions? Well then this is the group for you my friend!
I'm excited for it but read some stuff about the directors changing and talking about making the game more approachable and understandable which streams easy and mainstream. Let's hope I'm wrong. Also Dark Souls is survival horror?
You too will come to understand fear, as I have. - Pious Augustus
I think there are definitely some elements of that game that fall heavily into the SH category. I know I was scared (and scarred) several times.
Lol I guess there are some. I would say the whole Catacombs area would be one.
Can't wait to see what comes of the game. I too have trepidation towards a new director, but they've already stated that Miyazaki is supervising the project. Just Like Shinji Mikami did when Kamiya directed RE2, and that turned out to be one of the best in the series.
So I'm still excited beyond belief.
I put a ridiculous amount of time into Dark Souls, and I'm still playing now. I can't wait to find out more about this.
I mainly posted this because I know that Dark Souls is near and dear to the hearts of many of the SH group. Also because there had not been a new post since November.
Looking forward to the game, can't wait to die! Multiple... Times....
@Wes: "...can't wait to die! Multiple... Times.... "
Dying never felt so good.
Indeed. Neither did surviving after multiple deaths.
I'm getting Dark Souls for Christmas. The wait is killing me!
@LA All I can tell you is good luck and for the love of god make sure you always have a steady supply of humanity.
I believe that most of the accessibility stuff people are worrying about is misguided. Based on interviews, I don't hear that they're tweaking the delicate risk/reward balance, rather the focus on accessibility is to do with things like the way how co-op/pvp works, and explaining that better to everyone from the get-go. Fixes like that can only really benefit everyone, and particularly the core fans (who are more likely to dabble in invasions and co-op).

1. We learn that Alice's visions change depending on the decisions of the person she is trying to observe. Did this surprise you at all or was this how you always thought her visions worked? And what does this say about the power of our own choices?
2. How long to you think it took Alice and Jasper to figure out where Bella had gone? And how do you imagine Edward took the news?
3. We learned that Alice was once a resident in a mental institution. What does this say about Alice's human family? Do you think they were justified because of the times they lived in?
4. James is somewhat of a performance artist, using the mirrors to create a very effective death for Bella. What does this say about his character or his life when he was a human?

Fancy Yourself a Tycoon? OpenTTD 1.4.0 On Its Way 106
phmadore writes "Version 1.4.0 (.TAR.GZ)of the most intellectually challenging OSS game out there (IMO), OpenTTD (Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe), is near at hand. Of course, most servers are still running 1.3.3 (the last stable, major version change, from November/December-ish). N-Ice.org typically waits until a stable release has been around for a minute to implement the changes into its online client (which is as yet unavailable as a binary for Linux; it varies only slightly from the official release and non-Windows users are able to interface with it no problem), but there are exciting developments coming down the pipe for OpenTTD. 'The new SSE blitters were also further improved. Not immediately noticeable but useful in the future, are the new string codes to display amounts of cargo in NewGRFs. For our Korean users, the separators in numbers were fixed.' Here is some information on the history of OTTD."


text:
This is a development release; it is still undergoing testing and may not be completely stable. It contains several bug fixes and minor enhancements, including:
- Simple Linux Backup now tracks when the last full backup was performed for each backup set, and performs a full backup whenever the previous one occurred more than 7 days ago.
- A new x86 64-bit version is available. This version has been tested on an AMD64 processor; testers are needed for Intel 64-bit processors.
- Fixed a problem in the Simple Backup Configuration Program (SBCP) startup script, simplebackupconfig. The script sometimes did not correctly determine the real directory in which it was running, causing failures in starting SBCP.
For more information on the project, see the project home page. You can download the program from the SourceForge.net download page.

RENO, Nev. — Marko Cukic and Patrick Nyeko have signed national letters of intent to study and play basketball at the University of Nevada beginning in 2009-2010, first-year head coach David Carter announced Thursday. Both student-athletes will have four years of eligibility with the Wolf Pack starting this fall.
A 6-9 power forward, Cukic (pronounced CHEW-kitch) comes to Nevada from the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where he averaged 10 points and seven rebounds. Originally from Serbia, he moved to the United States in 2007 and also spent a year at Greensburg Central Catholic High School in Greensburg, Pa.
"We look forward to having Marko join our program. He's a skilled forward who we expect to contribute next year," Carter said. "Marko is very competitive and driven to be a great player."
Nyeko (pronounced NYE-a-co) is a 6-6 wing who has spent the last two years at Seattle (Wash.) Preparatory School. The all-region selection averaged 14 points and 6.5 rebounds last year in helping Seattle Prep to a 22-9 record and a divisional championship. He moved to the U.S. from London, England and also spent a year in Madison, Wis., before moving to Seattle.
"We are very excited about Patrick. He is an athletic guard who has the ability to guard several positions," Carter said. "He's unselfish and is a team player. His best basketball is ahead of him."

Tieto Partners with NetIQ to Bring Agile Cloud Services Portfolio to Market
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 18, 2012 01:00 AM
- Leading IT Service Company Relies on NetIQ to Meet Customers' Demands for Dynamic Cloud Services and Exceptional Service Experience
HOUSTON, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NetIQ® today announced that Tieto, a leading European IT service company, has chosen its technology as the basis of its cloud-based data center services. As a result of this partnership, Tieto offers a full Cloud Services portfolio – delivered at the speed and flexibility of the public cloud – that can meet the unique needs of its growing northern European customer base with the consistent and integrated service experience customers have come to expect.
"As an IT services provider, we are very strategic about the technology we choose to build our business. Our partners must have a demonstrated track record in delivering solutions that can speed time to value to end user customers," said Pasi Sutinen, Technical Director, Data Center Services at Tieto. "Moreover, our chosen partners must have a shared passion and vision for meeting customer requirements in light of the major IT trends and challenges: cloud, big data, mobility and social identity."
Tieto ultimately chose NetIQ Cloud Manager to create Tieto Cloud Server, a cloud platform that allows customers to choose from pre-defined cloud service packages based on capacity, storage, service level and business criticality requirements. All service packages include consumption-based pricing, making it very easy for business users to scale, manage and budget for a wholly tailored solution that can dynamically respond and adapt to their business needs. Because Tieto cloud services integrate seamlessly with customers' existing networks, customers experience truly dynamic IT service delivery across public, private and hybrid infrastructure.
"When choosing the basis of our Cloud Services portfolio, we scrutinized suppliers' ability to meet the scalability demands, speed and flexibility requirements of enterprise customers. Additionally, our vision and strategy is predicated upon solution delivery – it must be at a breadth and depth that competitors cannot match," continued Sutinen. "When all was said and done, NetIQ was the best choice for us to create our portfolio based on their ability to help us meet our business objectives, their technology and demonstrated track record of success with peer organizations."
Tieto Cloud Services allow customers to provision server capacity without unnecessary investments in additional hardware or headcount. Workflows and workload templates can be easily configured to match and fulfill customers' internal processes so that individual workloads and business services can be quickly provisioned and rapidly scaled with full cost transparency at any given time.
"Supporting Tieto to deliver its Cloud Services portfolio is yet another great example of NetIQ's ability to meet the carrier-grade requirements of service providers, transforming their business models to bring differentiated, high-value services to market," said Markus J. Krauss, vice president, EMEA & APAC Cloud Provider Business at NetIQ. "Together, we are relentlessly focused on achieving successful outcomes that can best meet customers' demands – today and in the future."

••• Transportation Funding'
The problem and the solution…?
Maintaining the highways, bridges and roads in our communities is a key factor in ensuring the safety of residents, which is why transportation funding is a priority to legislators. Equally important is ensuring Pennsylvanians are provided accessible, reliable and affordable public transportation.
Pennsylvania currently spends nearly $7 billion on transportation, of which approximately $4 billion is spent on roads and bridges.
Pennsylvania has 31,717 bridges, of which 25,321 are state and 6,396 are local bridges. Of those bridges, 6,536 are considered "structurally deficient," 4,293 state and 2,243 local. There are 2,528 bridges which are weight restricted and 256 closed bridges.
Members of the House have been working on the transportation funding issue for quite some time, but finding consensus has been and continues to be difficult. As the members debate and discuss transportation funding, they will be mindful the money they are talking about comes from hard-working Pennsylvanians.
House Bill 106 (Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Luzerne and Monroe counties) to allow biennial vehicle registration renewals for passenger vehicles and light trucks is scheduled for a vote next week. Transportation funding amendments are attached to this bill as well.
The Weekly Schedule
Identified by bill number, the sponsors and summaries for bills scheduled to be considered in committee or on the House floor are posted below. More information regarding these bills can be found at PAHouseGOP.com by clicking on the "Research Bills" tab.

User-centered Institution is the eighth of eight principles that staff from the BPL have discussed with the public following the unanimous approval of the strategic plan by the BPL Board of Trustees in November 2011. Boston Public Library engaged its stakeholders in a two-year, three-phase planning process prior to that Board approval.

Dan Phillips spent a few years living on 16th Avenue in Nashville, Tenn., as one of the boys who make the noise.
A local, he picked up his guitar and moved to Tennesee as a 19-year-old, just hoping to make music. He lived on what is now Music Row, an area known for musicians hoping to make a living in the industry. And during his time there he met quite a few who went on to bigger things.
Phillips was born in Prosser and raised in Mabton. He said he bought his first guitar from another kid in town for $3.50.
"It was an old Lyle F-Sound Hole Guitar," he said. "I taught myself to play on it."
To learn more, he helped set up for visiting singers, including working for country singer Clyde Moody when he visited Sunnyside.
Once he graduated from high school he headed to Nashville and made a decent living for himself as a street musician, singing and playing the guitar. He became acquainted with a number of his neighbors, people who went on to play in Hank Williams' band and others.
His time in Nashville ended when he returned home to care for his ailing parents in the mid-1990s. He volunteers for Yakima Fire District #5, and is proud of his perfect attendance record for the organization, kept for 25 years.
When his mother passed away in 2002 he started to work for Smith Funeral Home in Sunnyside as a maintenance man.
"My experiences here have been very good," he said. "Grant and Carolyn are good employers. They treat me like family."
Phillips has two brothers. His older brother is a school teacher in Brewster, his younger brother lives in Yakima and works as a welder for Cascade Natural Gas.
"I helped my younger brother remodel his rental house," he said. "We're still working on it, but it's getting along."
Until last year he kept the music playing as part of the Flat Possum Pickers. He also played with the Washington Old Time Fiddlers, although he admits he has a little bit of a weakness as far as fiddling is concerned.
"I taught myself to play," he said. "I can't read music, and the fiddlers tend to use sheet music."
He can also play the mandolin, 5-string banjo and harmonica, but he admits he doesn't play as much anymore.
"I keep busy with the fire district and the funeral home," he said.
Phillips said he still has plenty to do, but has lived a full life.
"I have no regrets," he said. "No bucket list I haven't done. My life's been pretty full. I still have a long way to go, still lot of people to help, but I've lived a good life."

DbUrlManager extension Dynamic database-based URL rules (pretty permalinks or friendly URLs)
Posted 31 August 2010 - 06:10 PM
Let me introduce DbUrlManager extension.
DbUrlManager provides dynamic database-based URL rules.
These dynamic rules are like Wordpress' "pretty permalinks" or "friendly URLs". You do not have to have the controller name (or ID) on the URL: this extension can handle the request URI and route it to the correct controller.
Examples of clean and friendly URLs made possible by this extension:
If you are using it, please let me know about your opinion.

I don't want to ask users of the extension to not make use of this nice feature.
Altough the new action parameters (currently in trunk) can help by requiring at least the parameters to be set.

Here it is
- Setup your application. Below are the minimum configuration, just for the purpose of getting the extension running:
// Configure the db application component to suit your needs. 'db'=>array( 'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=myblog', 'emulatePrepare' => true, 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'schemaCachingDuration' => 3600, ), 'urlManager'=>array( 'class'=>'ext.DbUrlManager.EDbUrlManager', 'urlFormat'=>'path', 'connectionID'=>'db', 'rules'=>array( '<post:[\w-]+>'=>array( 'post/view', 'type'=>'db', 'fields'=>array( 'post'=>array( 'table'=>'tbl_post', 'field'=>'post_slug' ), ), ), ), ),
- Prepare the data (mysql example):
create database myblog; use myblog; create table tbl_post (post_slug varchar(100)); insert into post values ('first-post'),('another-post');
- Have a controller (the route is post/view, then we will need a PostController) and an action (actionView):
// If you have trouble, try extending from Controller instead. class PostController extends CController { public function actionView() { $this->render('view', array( 'post' => isset($_GET['post'])?$_GET['post']:'', )); } }
- And a view

Post View Test

 <?php if (isset ($post)) echo "post: $post"; ?>
If you still have trouble, reset your cache.

Don't forget to modify the controller, that got me a couple times . And, don't forget your .htaccess if showScriptName is false.

I expect to cover at least some of the TODOs soon. The extension will have better performance with the caching implemented. The new features in Yii 1.1.7 will ease a lot this task.
Thank you,

I have one question though. If you are using two fields to form the URL, e.g. author/post, am I correct in assuming that both fields are treated independently when processed by this extension. For example:
- An author 'John' has a post called 'hello-world'
- An author 'Sue' has a post called 'goodbye-cruel-world'
It seems from my testing that the following are all valid URLs and would return a post:
- /john/hello-world
- /john/goodbye-cruel-world
- /sue/hello-world
- /sue/goodbye-cruel-world
Yet, we would only want posts returned that reflected the relationship between the author and their individual posts, i.e.
- /john/hello-world [OK]
- /john/goodbye-cruel-world [404]
- /sue/hello-world [OK]
- /sue/goodbye-cruel-world [404]
Am I correct in assuming that your controller method must return the appropriate matching records based on multiple fields?
Tx, Rob
Posted 18 April 2011 - 10:54 PM
The extension was not made with relationships in mind. But this is indeed a very nice suggestion.
I'll add it to the TODO list.
And you probably meant:
- /sue/hello-world [404]
- /sue/goodbye-cruel-world [OK]

Now I can configure dynamic routes.
One question:
Any idea how to integrate this with langhandler extension?
Or how to write your own language handler code for this extension?
I've been trying to integrate these two things but the result isn't functioning properly yet.

I, for one, welcome the new guy!
For one example of pitfalls and perks, consider stylesheets. Netscape threw their weight behind JSSS, Internet Explorer threw their weight behind CSS. CSS got taken up by the W3C, JSSS got chucked. Internet Explorer 3 was first with CSS support, Netscape 3 had none, and Netscape 4's CSS support was an abysmal wrapper around JSSS.
Another example is XSLT; Microsoft implemented a draft version, and ended up with support that was incompatible with the final specification and later versions of their own browser.
Of course, who was first doesn't matter in the long run. What matters is an ongoing commitment to conformance - being first with partial support means nothing if you do as Microsoft did with CSS and forget to implement the rest for years.
"Established with clear customer demand" is not the same thing as being published as a completed specification. The OpenDocument format has already been published as a completed specification, so it's an entirely different situation to implementing an unfinished specification.
Note that the OpenOffice document format is the older, discontinued format; OpenDocument is the newer, standardised format.
I was going to moderate this thread, but there's no 'factually incorrect' rating available, let alone 're-writing history', so I'll have to reply instead....
"For one example of pitfalls and perks, consider stylesheets. Netscape threw their weight behind JSSS, Internet Explorer threw their weight behind CSS. CSS got taken up by the W3C, JSSS got chucked."
Several corrections:
"Another example is XSLT; Microsoft implemented a draft version, and ended up with support that was incompatible with the final specification and later versions of their own browser."
To my knowledge, MS has *never* done a clean implementation of any Internet standard where they didn't absolutely have to. While their TCP/IP stack (which was based on the Berkeley implementation) may more or less work as advertised, their web browsers, email software and Internet-related developer tools have always been skewed from the relevant standards.
Micosoft does provide some object lessons in the difference between de facto standards and true standards, but I would hesitate to claim that it ever made any effort to support or adhere to any open standard.
Microsoft did *not* throw its weight behind CSS as a standard - they openly espoused 'extending' it with proprietary attributes and behaviours.
Well right off the bat, CSS doesn't have attributes, so you are wrong there. Do you have a cite for the "openly espoused extensions"? And how can you say that it didn't throw its weight behind CSS when it was both the first to implement it and a member of the W3C when they took it on?
IE 3's CSS implementation was so broken that people resorted to relying on its broken Cascade model (the C in CSS) in order to avoid sending any directives to it at all.
What's your point? I already alluded to incomplete implementation, nowhere did I say that Internet Explorer 3's support was complete.
CSS did not get 'taken up' by the W3C; it was designed by the W3C.
Wrong. CSS originated outside of the W3C. The first draft of the CSS specification was written by Håkon Wium Lie and published in 1994. The W3C wasn't even operational until the following year - although it was founded in the same month as the draft was published, it took a while to get up and running.
And this was not, as you imply, a result of MS' support.
You are reading too much into what I am saying if you think I implied that. However, it may be true. From Cascading Style Sheets, designing for the Web, the book about CSS written by the creator of CSS, it states:
The workshop was also an experiment to see if it was possible for W3C to organize events outside the US. Indeed, this turned out to be possible and the workshop was a milestone in ensuring style sheets their rightful place on the Web. Among the participants was Thomas Reardon of Microsoft who pledged support for CSS in upcoming versions of Internet Explorer.
MSIE 3 was, IIRC, not the first popular browser to support CSS. I believe that honour goes to Opera.
You don't recall correctly. From the above cited book:
Had it not been for the browsers, CSS would have remained a lofty proposal of only academic interest. The first commercial browser to support CSS was Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3 which was released in August 1996.
JSSS did not get chucked so much as it got dropped.
Chucked and dropped are synonyms in this context. What distinction are you drawing?
And another example in a sense is UML (Universal Modeling Language). It's not like something else came through and stole UML's thunder, but only betwen 10 and 20% of software developers use modeling consistently at all (from Software Developer magazine, Brian Selic interview).
Standards are a strange beast in this way as sometimes there's no need for a standard in the first place...
What does it mean to have or be a "standard"? Average business practices? Average technology? "Average" doesn't sound too bad, but the word "mediocre" sure does. As a business owner, I would hate to have mediocre technology.
When your software is online, running on servers, controlled entirely by you... why go for average

Robots Help Manufacturing Recover Without Adding Jobs 559
kkleiner writes "For the last 30 years, automation has enabled U.S. manufacturing output to increase and lift profits without having to add any traditional jobs. Now, in the last decade, nearly a third of manufacturing jobs are gone. As manufacturing goes the way of agriculture, the job market must shift into new types of work lest mass technological unemployment and civil unrest overtake these beneficial gains."

From Foster Care to Yale: Why Doctor King Mattered to Me
See on Scoop.it – Parental Responsibility
From age five to 17, I spent approximately four thousand days in the Chicago foster care system. I lived in over a dozen different homes — many of them before I started high school. Although there were so many families whose kindness saved my life and whom I can never thank enough, it was still a tough decade.
When I was 17, shortly after leaving foster care, I became homeless for four months. The challenges of being a homeless teen are indescribable — but I have a role model whose inspiration means a lot to me: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His words are a testament that even I could have a dream, and make it a reality.
Words like: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy," from Dr. King's Strength to Love collection of speeches, taught me that I could choose to grow from the challenges in my life, instead of let them drag me down.
Dr. King's emphasis on self-reliance and empowerment for low-income people made it possible for someone like me to start a small business. I took his words to heart: "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." In my senior year of high school, I wrote a business plan for a video-recording business, because of my love for film. My company offered custom videos and songs for special events. I felt such hope when I generated my first sale! Now I was somebody. I was CEO of Forever Life Music and Video Production.

*This will work with just all-purpose flour, but I prefer the bread flour and semolina
View the complete recipe
As an American living in Italy, it always amazes me to see a Mom come into a café or bar with two young kids, one of which asks for an ice cream on a stick and the other who asks for a piece of focaccia as an afternoon snack. Both kids are perfectly contented and I'm left wondering if this would ever happen in the U.S. By the way readers should avoid going overboard on the toppings; this ain't no pizza. However, it's common for bar owners to brush the top with a VERY thin coating of tomato sauce and cut the focaccia into small squares to go with an aperitivo.
Chef John that looks amazing! I've been trying your different breads as my summer project. After the ciabatta and the sourdough I was just thinking, wouldn't it be nice if he did focaccia? Thank you so much for posting this. I can't wait to try it.
Do you know if there's a good way to add garlic and cheese? Should I crush the garlic and sprinkle it on top or knead it into the dough like the rosemary?
Hey Chef, I've been traveling abroad a few years now and am often stuck with only the use of a toaster oven - two breads that always turn out well in a toaster - focaccia and "pan de bono". Just a heads up to anyone this bread is absolutely easy and delicious. If you have not had pan de bono it is an international crime perpetrated against Americans - I really recommend you show them how it's done. Also I keep reading you shouldn't put too much on the focaccia, but I won't lie - I often divide it into two thin sheets of bread - after baking - and use it as a pizza crust.
Hi Chef, please us know a great topping that has garlic. This bread reminds me of garlic bread
Hah. I thought focaccia was a plant. Turns out I was thinking of forsythia.
Thanks for edifying me.
Sorry to double comment, but I'm curious - why did you use foil? Is it better than Saran wrap or a wet kitchen towel?
Inquiring chef wannabes want to know.
PB, you can add to the top, or push it in when you dimple!
You can use anything to cover, as you're juts keeping it draft free. I use all 3! For longer rises I may use damp towel to add moisture, but it really doesn't matter.
As a topping I usually make a olive oil, oregano and garlic paste, spread it over the focaccia before it's completely cooked, then put some kosher salt. the salt will metl with the heat giving even more taste to the paste and the bread.
Chef john, what do you usually do with leftover foccaccia? I always want to try recipes like this but don't know how to preserve the mass quantity of leftovers! Will it keep in the freezer?
Is there a substitute for the semolina flour chef?
I live in Alaska, at what temp is it needing to be at for raising the dough? Did you preheat your oven and then turn off. This recipe I would really like to have with salmon chowder. :)
Just use regular flour!
There is no replacement for good technique – I have not been making my dimples deep enough! Thank you for showing us the proper way to do this! Btw, I like to add some mashed potatoes to focaccia dough; adds moisture and flavor.
Yes, I just heat my oven for a few seconds until its about 80 degrees, and that's perfect for me.
I'll have to try the potato trick!
Jessica, I usually don't have leftovers, but you can freeze, and then use those for a panini or quick pizza base. It's better to toast or bake the leftovers in case they've gotten dry.
How about substituting Garlic Olive Oil for regular olive oil?
This is my first time making any kind of bread - you always make it look so easy and inspire me to try new things! It is rising now - I'm so excited! Thank you Chef John!
I started mine with a biga. It gave the Focaccia almost a sourdough flavor which went great with your topping.
You mentioned butter in the video. Have you ever tried making a less authentic version of the recipe with melted butter?
I've not!
Chef!! an we do focaccia with whole wheat flour??
Sure! Just won't taste as good!
Hi Chef! I could only find rapid rise yeast at the local grocery store. Would that work? If yes, how would the recipe change? Thank you!
Yes! Enjoy!
Chef, is the 2 T oil what goes in the dough initially, and the rest that is drizzled is extra? If not, how much of the 2 T goes in the bowl? Thanks for a great blog.
Yes 2 initially!
I love this recipe. Simple yet delicious. Baking it now. I have learnt a lesson though. Long nail-person won't enjoy poking the dough lol
I made two loaves of focaccia bread yesterday- one using your recipe, and the other using Noreen's (from Noreen's Kitchen). They were both simply amazing! And they are both simply gone! This dough is absolutely wonderful to work with! Thank you from the whole family- we most certainly did 'Enjoy'
I made this recipe to go with an antipasto platter that I took to a holiday gathering.....I infused the olive oil with garlic.....and instead of salt, I sprinkled fresh parmesan....it was surprisingly easy and rewarding to make.....and a big hit.....I made a double batch and it was all gone at the end.....merry christmas and thank you chef john!
Chef, thanks for sharing this great recipe! Since I'm vegan, I finally found a recipe without egg, honey, cheese or milk ;)
thanks for your recipe and instructions - i'll give it a try.
You inspired me to go the extra mile in my bread making oddessy chef John. Thanks for sharing ur knowledge.
Hello Chef,
I want to make this bread for Thanksgiving this year and was wondering if this bread dough would be okay in the fridge for a day or two before baking or would it dry out/destroy the texture? I know some breads lend really well to a slow ferment in the fridge but I am unsure of this one. Thank you for such great recipes and videos.
Sorry, but I'm not sure! I think overnight might work, but not sure about 2. Good luck!
Another big success with Chef John's recipe! I was in a rush so I only let the dough rise for 20 minutes. It became significantly larger but not quite doubled. But the bread still turned out awesome. I ended up dividing the dough and baking it as two small focaccia. Can't wait to make this again. So yummy!
I don't know if it's just me but I love my focaccia love mine with liver patè or fresh tomato salsa :) thanks for this recipe and tutorial. My best regards.
Is the salt amount specified for kosher salt or the small grain table salt?

East Davidson Principal Billy Hunt motioned for members of the media to come into his office where Bryan Lingerfelt and Vance Hanner were seated.
East Davidson Principal Billy Hunt motioned for members of the media to come into his office where Bryan Lingerfelt and Vance Hanner were seated.
Hunt, having called a press conference, had an announcement to make. Given that press conferences involving high school sports usually mean coaching changes, what the East principal had to say was hardly surprising considering who was in the room.
Lingerfelt was stepping down as football coach, to be replaced by longtime assistant coach and East alumnus Hanner.
It was a decision that had been weighing on Lingerfelt for months and it had everything to do with family.
Lingerfelt's oldest son, Brett, is in the eighth grade at Tyro Middle School and happened to be the quarterback of the football team. But in August, he will be a freshman at West Davidson and most likely vying to be the quarterback of the Green Dragons' junior varsity.
And that changes everything.
Lingerfelt is eager to watch his son play football and JV games are of course on Thursdays. A varsity head football coach has to be there to help oversee the JV game. Lingerfelt couldn't do both.
That's not all. Lingerfelt would have in essence been coaching against his own son and there was no way that could happen. Basically, Lingerfelt was put in a position where he had to give up football at East Davidson. The decision was made easier because Hanner felt he was ready to be a head coach.
But that's only part of the story.
During the period of time Lingerfelt was pondering what he was going to do, Charles Elmore announced his retirement as West Davidson athletic director at the end of the school year. A few weeks after that, Dale Barnes was named to succeed Elmore. Barnes immediately stepped down as West football coach in order for Principal Travis Smith to be able to hire a replacement in the spring.
It was only natural fort Lingerfelt's name to be linked to the West Davidson job, especially with him being a longtime resident of that area and his children being in West feeder schools. That's hardly the only criteria for choosing a football coach but Lingerfelt is highly regarded among his peers and has previously coached in the East-West All-Star game.
As for whether Lingerfelt is a candidate for the West job, that isn't known publicly. Neither Lingerfelt nor Smith would address it. That's understandable as school district personnel matters are confidential. But there was something Hanner said that kind of hung in the air just a little bit. When asked what role Lingerfelt could fill as an assistant coach Hanner said the secondary, "if he comes back." That might mean Hanner is preparing to move on without his mentor. Or it may mean he's covering his bases just in case. If Lingerfelt did apply for the job, Smith may well hire him. But he could also look in another direction. Smith did say he received a lot of applications, which is not surprising given the attractiveness of the position.
Lingerfelt could end up not only watching his son but also coaching him. Or he could stay at East Davidson as co-athletic director and watch his son play four years of football at West Davidson.
Either way, Lingerfelt wins. And he should. He's one of the good guys in the business.

OMAK The Friendly OK Car Club will host its 20th annual car show Saturday, May 11 at East Side Park.
Organizer Paul Yarnell said cars will start arriving about 8 a.m. Saturday and will be displayed until 4 p.m., when ballots will be tallied and awards will be presented during an awards ceremony at the Okanogan Eagles, 1820 Second Ave. N. There will also be a silent auction at the awards ceremony.
Yarnell said the show has featured anywhere from 98 to 125 entrants in past years, and they will compete for trophies in 17 different classes. All cars will be judged by the public and there will be something for every type of car enthusiast, Yarnell said.
Among the different categories, one of the fan favorites is the special interest class, where anything goes. You never know what might pop up in the special interest class, Yarnell said.
"There's a gentleman over in the Twisp area. He restores military stuff, tanks and trucks and jeeps and stuff and he brings those over a lot," Yarnell said. "At one time he was going to bring over a helicopter but the weather didn't cooperate. But we have boats and homemade cars and motorcycles and just all kinds of things."
Yarnell said the show attracts entrants and spectators from all across the western United States, as well as Canada. With free admission and parking, he said there's no way of telling how many people stroll through the park.
As one of the founding charter members of the Friendly OK Car Club, he has been involved with every one of the club's annual spring shows.
There will also be a swap meet and flea market Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and food vendors will open on the grounds, as well. Recreational vehicle hookups are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Nokia: 'hybrid' mobiles will save us
Finnish first
Posted in Personal Tech, 3rd May 2012 10:38 GMT
Nokia is working on "hybrid" mobile devices and harbours the hope that future tablets, fresh form-factors and cross-breed tech will turn around the Finnish phone giant's handset business.
This combination of new products and services will "make a difference", claimed chairman Jorma Ollila, who revealed Nokia's plans in a registration-required interview with the Financial Times.
"Tablets are an important [market segment], so that is being looked into, and there will be different hybrids, different form factors in the future," he said.
On form with its photography credentials
After Samsung overtook the company as the world's largest maker of handsets last week, Nokia's 14-year dominance of the mobile phone business came to an end.
Identifying key trends and getting involved in new product areas sufficiently early are vital to maintain a foothold in the market, something Ollila concedes Nokia was too slow with at the start of the smartphone boom.
But what does he mean by "hybrid", we wonder? Hopefully he isn't simply referring to the company's latest 41Mp camera-phone crossover.
Perhaps Nokia has its own Transformer Prime or Padfone design in the works. Then again, maybe its something fresher than the air of Finland itself.
In March, Nokia's design chief already revealed a tablet was in the works, which would most likely launch following Microsoft's Windows 8 release later this year. ®

Nearly half of all consumers are reaching for their smartphones to window shop for the right product to buy, but they are not all clicking the "buy" online box, a new study has found.
A survey of 3020 Australian adults found that 47 per cent were using their phone to browse stores and products but only 25 per cent were purchasing online from their phones. Instead, consumers were using phones to compare prices, locate stores, read reviews and check product availability online.
The PayPal and eBay study conducted by research company Nielsen found nine out of 10 Australians had used a personal computer to begin their shopping research. Of those surveyed 25 per cent they had used a tablet. Consumers could nominate more than one device mode.
Shoppers who looked for a product on a computer almost uniformly had bought online too, 91 per cent, but mobile shoppers were much less likely to purchase online. Tablet users were more likely than phone shoppers to buy using their tablet with 16 per cent overall of those surveyed buying through a tablet.
The survey estimates that consumers will "spend" $5.6 billion on phones and tablets shopping in 2012, up from $155 billion in 2010. The number of Australians buying online with a mobile device has risen from 12 per cent in January 2011 to 32 per cent in October this year.
PayPal Australia vice president Jeff Clementz said the survey showed consumers still wanted to shop at bricks-and-mortar stores.
"The ritual of visiting shops, trying on clothes, and interacting with sales people is not dying, but how people get to your shop and what represents value and convenience – this is changing and technology is enabling it," Mr Clementz said.
He said it was imperative that retailers have an online presence at every stage of shopping from browsing to postage and delivery, a view echoed by Australian Retailer Association executive director Russell Zimmerman who said details of store locations in particular were important.
Mr Zimmerman said consumers felt less comfortable using a smartphone than a computer to buy online because computers allowed them to print receipts and smartphones were a smaller format and harder for some consumers to use.
"I think there is still some sense of security being an issue in using a phone to follow through with an actual purchase," Mr Zimmerman said.
"I think it does show, though, that people are using their smartphones when they are out-and-about to get to the right product while they are heading out to go shopping."
He said smartphone use for transactions would continue to increase as consumers felt more comfortable with the security of the the technology.
He said the survey result of higher transactions among tablet users was perplexing because the technology was newer but could reflect its usability and larger format.
Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed used a search engine to discover a product, with about 45 per cent using eBay and 37 per cent typing in a URL to begin their shopping search.

Playing at the New York Yankees spring training complex in Tampa, Florida, the Harvard baseball team concluded its eight-day training trip with a three-game set against Army.
The Crimson started off on a high note, riding strong pitching and consistent offense to a 5-1 win. But Harvard (4-13) could not build on the momentum, as the Black Knights (14-6) earned victories in the following two contests by tight scores of 3-2 and 6-4.
In the final match up of the series on Saturday, the Crimson fell into an early hole and trailed, 6-0, after four innings. Harvard would stage a rally in the top of the ninth that resulted in three runs, but it would not be enough as the team fell, 6-4.
Army struck first in the bottom of the third, when Patrick Mescher smacked a grand slam with one out to put four runs on the board. The Black Knights tacked on two more in the next inning, as a sacrifice fly and a single extended the lead to six.
Four Crimson relievers would hold the Army bats silent for the rest of the game, providing the Harvard offense with a chance to claw its way back.
After tacking on a run in the top of the seventh, the Crimson found itself trailing, 6-1, entering the ninth. Two consecutive errors from the Black Knights brought home one run, and a single from senior Carlton Bailey plated two more.
Bailey led the team with three singles, and junior Jack Colton and junior Jake McGuiggan each added two knocks of their own. Despite amassing eight hits to Army's seven, Harvard ultimately would have to settle for the loss.
After earning a win in the first game of Friday's doubleheader, the Crimson jumped out to an early lead but could not hang on in the late innings as the Black Knights walked off with the victory.
Harvard struck first with runs in the first and third innings, but Army had tied the game by the time the bottom of the ninth rolled around. The contest would end with one out, as a leadoff single, sacrifice bunt, and another single from Army's Mescher brought home the winning run.
Despite outhitting the Black Knights, 12-8, Harvard left 11 men on base and could not break through offensively in the later innings.
The Crimson received strong hitting performances from junior Mike Martin and senior Kyle Larrow, who contributed four and three knocks, respectively, at the top of the lineup. The duo accounted for both of Harvard's runs, as Martin scored on a sacrifice fly from junior Brandon Kregel in the first inning.
Two frames later, a sacrifice fly from junior Ethan Ferreira brought home Larrow, who had singled to lead off the inning.
Freshman Nick Gruener made his fourth start of the year for Harvard and finished six innings, allowing one earned run on six hits. Sophomore Nick Scahill contributed six outs of scoreless relief before being replaced by classmate T.J. Laurisch in the ninth.

One of our clients has recently run into a problem with their scanning company, whereby a pre-existing vulnerability has been upgraded to a serious threat, which is causing Able to fail the PCI-DSS scan. Specifically, the vulnerability is with the ValidateRequest feature of ASP (see here, from 2008)
The scanning company has agreed with our diagnosis; there is no fix for this on a site running .NET 2/3/3.5 on Server 2003. They've therefore explained that they'll listen to the argument: Our site is not vulnerable because... And this is where I was hoping for some advice from an Able expert!
Any pointers from anyone? Anyone come across this since the acquiring bank who requested this flaw be upgraded to serious did so in March? The scanning company admits they're talking to a lot of angry customers because of this, so hopefully someone in the Able community has seen this.

Jarrod Clowery's legs and hands were badly burned and, in places, shredded by shrapnel from the second explosion at the Boston Marathon. To distract himself from the pain as he awaited painkillers and treatment in the emergency department of Brigham and Women's Hospital, he began watching the nurses and doctors working frenetically around him.
"They're moving seamlessly," he recounted during a press conference at the hospital Tuesday afternoon. "They know what each other's thinking . . . I've never seen, in all the years in New England, Tom Brady put a drive together that is as good as what these people are doing."
Clowery, 35 and a carpenter, is one of five men who grew up together in Stoneham who were hurt in the bombing. Another Stoneham friend, Jacqui Webb, was seriously hurt.
The friends, who have been treated at four Boston hospitals, are expected to be reunited at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. On Tuesday, 31-year-old Paul Norden, who lost a leg, was taken to Spaulding. His 33-year-old brother, J.P., who also lost a leg and who had additional surgery Tuesday, is expected to go there when released from the Brigham. Clowery is scheduled to be transferred there on Wednesday.
Clowery was jumping over a guard rail, trying to get away from Boylston Street's crowded sidewalk after the first bomb went off, when the second one exploded about 3 feet from him.
Dr. Robert Riviello, a trauma surgeon, said at the press conference that he has removed a dozen carpenter nails from Clowery's body, along with several BBs and other debris, such as bits of denim. Another 20 or so BBs remain, Riviello said. While Clowery's body will push some to the surface on its own, he will probably need more surgeries, Riviello said.
Clowery said his family and his girlfriend have supported him throughout the two weeks, keeping him company during the nights when he has not wanted to be alone and being patient when he has been "moody" as he grapples with his injuries and his memories of that day. He said he has drawn strength from his friends, three of whom lost limbs.
"My friends are strong guys, just tough as nails," he said. "They think — they know how we're going to come out of this better. They don't have any guilt, and they're teaching me not to have any guilt either."
He said he has been touched by the support from the broader public, too: "I don't know how I would ever be able to thank everybody, but I'm going to spend a lot of time trying to figure it out."Chelsea Conaboy can be reached at email@example.com or on Twitter @cconaboy.

COPD: Avoiding Weight Loss
Top of the pageActionset
Key points
Some people with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-especially those with emphysema-may be underweight and malnourished.
- People with COPD often lose weight. When you lose weight, you lose muscle mass, including the muscles that help you breathe. This may make breathing more difficult.
- Some people with COPD weigh too little for good health. It is dangerous to become very underweight.
- To avoid losing weight and muscle mass, you generally need to eat more foods containing fat and protein. Because eating too much fat and targeting certain nutrients (such as protein) may have health risks, always consult with your doctor or a registered dietitian before eating more of these foods to gain weight.
How do I avoid weight loss in COPD?
If you are beginning to lose weight and muscle mass, you probably need to eat more protein and get more calories. This generally means eating more foods containing fat and protein. Because eating too much fat and targeting certain nutrients (such as protein) may have health risks, always consult with your doctor or a registered dietitian before eating more of these foods to gain weight. Also, eating small, frequent meals and snacks may be easier than eating big meals.
High-calorie, nutritious snacks
Foods that can help you add nutritious calories to your diet include:
- Ice cream.
- Pudding.
- Cheese.
- Granola bars.
- Custard.
- Eggs.
- Crackers with peanut butter.
- Bagels with peanut butter or cream cheese.
- Cereal with half and half.
- Popcorn with margarine and Parmesan cheese.
- High-calorie nutritional supplements, such as nutrition shakes.
Adding calories to a meal or snack
Adding the following foods to meals or snacks can help you add calories and protein to your diet.
- Add an egg or egg yolk to meat loaf, macaroni and cheese, or similar foods. Be sure to cook the food after adding the egg.
- Add powdered milk to creamed soups, scrambled eggs, pudding, potatoes, yogurt, and casseroles.
- Add cheese to sandwiches, crackers, casseroles, soups, toast, and pasta.
- Add an extra tablespoon of vegetable oil or olive oil, mayonnaise, butter, margarine, or sour cream to sandwiches, bread, casseroles, soups, cooked cereals, pasta, potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
- Grind up some nuts and sprinkle the dust on puddings, gravy, mashed potatoes, casseroles, salads, and yogurt.
Adding protein to your diet
Milk, milk products, and meats are high in protein. Try to eat more of these foods, or:
- Add skim milk powder to milk, cold cereals, scrambled eggs, soups, and ground meat.
- Add cheese or peanut butter to snacks.
- Choose desserts that use eggs, such as sponge cake, egg custard, and rice pudding.
- Use nutritional supplements high in protein, such as nutrition shakes.

Yes, kids, you'll have to suffer through the long hours of classes caffeine-free -- unless you bring your own supply of Jolt gum. Then, after class, step right up to our machines, slip in your coins, and partake of the semi-forbidden substance.
And don't you think the makers of Jolt love this story? Thanks for reminding all the kids about our little product, and thanks for forcing each student to buy his own. And thanks for glamorizing some dumb gum into an exciting drug-like product. That meshes nicely with our ad campaign and spikes it with messages we dare not say directly.
IN THE COMMENTS: Lotsa comments, so go in there and read. I'm just going to front page a long comment I made along the way:
Thanks for the link to the old "Coffee Achievers" commercials. That ad campaign dates back to a time when coffee drinking was dying out, and they really thought the new generations would only drink soda. I remember thinking the commercials were a pathetic attempt to bring back the past! I'm laughing as I type this in a café with a $3.50 coffee drink next to the laptop. I think back then people also thought written communication would die out, and the new generations would rely solely on images and the spoken word. But here we are hopelessly immersed in coffee and the written word.
Anyway, I'd like to say that I don't think all the news stories like this gum one imply that schools are full of folks who do things like this. It wouldn't be news if it were so common. That a dinky story like this gets reported proves it's anomalous. And I think a lot of the teachers themselves oppose the petty rules. I note that I'm a teacher, and I'm making fun of stuff like this.
As [one commenter observed], the principal is probably concerned about lawsuits. But the principal is probably also concerned with the way Jolt gum mimics drugs. I've seen kids drink Jolt cola and then act as if they are totally high. It's disturbing to adults to see that, but the trick is to find the right response. It's not obvious what it is.
I think opposing all gum and soda in the school -- during and after hours -- would be best. Kids have forgotten how to drink water. When I was a kid, in school, if you were thirsty, you got a drink from the water fountain. There was nothing else, except at lunch, and at lunch, there was only one drink: milk.
I'm just going to guess that the biggest cause of the obesity problem in America is soda. Years ago, a soda was a treat, and the bottles were 6 1/2 ounces. You were lucky if you got even one of those things a day.
I'm a cranky old person!
As I write this, the song playing in the café is -- I'm not kidding -- Bob Dylan's "4th Time Around," with the lines about gum:
I stood there and hummed,
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
And she buttoned her boot,
And straightened her suit,
Then she said, "Don't get cute."
So I forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs,
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum.
She threw me outside,
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
And after finding I'd
Forgotten my shirt,
I went back and knocked.
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
And I tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against . . .
Her Jamaican rum
And when she did come, I asked her for some.
She said, "No, dear."
I said, "Your words aren't clear,
You'd better spit out your gum."

Originating from Malaysia, Karim was selected as UH Mānoa's Southeast Asian Studies Andrews Professor for 2003, and teaches a seminar entitled "Asian Perspectives on Asia." The seminar examines current issues of politics, economics and culture, which threaten Asia's autonomy and deconstruction.
Karim, who received her B.A. in social sciences at the National University of Singapore and her M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology and political science at the London School of Economics, is a professor of anthropology at Universiti Sains Malaysia and director of the Academy of Social Sciences. She has conducted extensive research on indigenous minorities in Peninsular Malaysia, women in politics, culture and religion, and more specifically, issues of social transformation.
A pioneer for women and minorities, Karim founded the Southeast Asian Women's Studies Association in 1978, initiated the formation of the Academy of Social Sciences, co-founded the Southeast Asian Association of Gender Studies in 1995, and was the first woman anthropologist in Malaysia to live with aborigines in the Mangrove rainforest. She was recently appointed the founding director of KANITA, the Women's Development Research Centre, which is the first research and advocacy center on women's development to be set up in a university in Malaysia.
Karim has authored and edited several books on minorities and women including "Emotions of Culture: A Malay Perspective," "Women and Culture: Between Malay Adat and Islam" and "ʻMale' and ʻFemale' in Developing Southeast Asia." She has received several fellowships, visiting professorships and awards for academic excellence including the Ford Foundation Fellowship, the Fulbright Fellowship, the University of Oslo Visiting Professorship at the Institute of Anthropology, and the Rotary Gold Medal in 1999 for outstanding achievements in the social sciences.
For more information, call 956-2676. The lecture is free and open to the public.
