Getting a Rise from a Ciabatta Bread Video Response
So, I never bothered to check back. Today, I was playing around with my account setting, and saw a huge backlog of these notices, so I took a gander. While most were not up to snuff, a few were pretty good, and I'll probably be posting them here at some point.
Here is a really cool one featuring our famous no-knead ciabatta bread recipe. It's called "18 Hour Time Lapse of Ciabatta Bread Dough Rise with Recipe" by brinstar117. Enjoy!

I enjoyed the time lapse on that. I have just been away camping and I took your Ciabatta recipe typed out and one of my fellow campers couldnt believe how simple it was and ended up making three loaves in a camp (dutch) oven.

Very cool. That is the wettest bread dough I have ever seen. It looked more like a sponge.

This no-knead recipe brought me to this blog--easier than the iron Dutch oven I had been using. I use all white flour.

Really? Playing a video is like watching a movie. Who knew?!
Mr. Chan: you're vid is da bomb!
Chef John: Absolutely agree 100% with saltyseattle above! I love your site and the fan comments. Best wishes with the FN exec's.

AMAZING VIDEO! Will definitely give this a try!

Thank you Chef John!
Tried to leave a really long message about how wonderful it has been for me to be able to make bread. I will try again...Because I grew up with a progressive muscle weakening thing called Spinal muscular atrophy, kneading bread was not possible. Here I am years later and here is your kneadless infallible bread recipe! Bread I can make.
And I have experimented with making it healther and more fibre filled by adding tonnes of ground and whole flax, far more whole wheat flour and cracked wheat and even sticking in some olive oil a touch of sugar (because you did that on your kneadless pizza recipe) and nothing I change or add messes it up! It ALWAYS rises and always and keeps tasting better and better.
Thank you for your wonderful video recipes and your sense of humour. And thanks for not being boring!!
My husband and I definitely "enjoy!" your recipe videos and thanks to you, I get to make home made healthy bread!!

I loved the easiness of the recipe and the resulting bread was quite good, however there were a couple problems and I was wondering if you might offer your thoughts on how to fix them. I used all white flour and active dry yeast, which I bloomed before combining with the rest of the ingredients. The dough rose wonderfully and while soft, was not difficult for me to shape into smaller loaves for sandwiches. The problem was in the baking. The crust on my bread was too thick and hard for my liking (or for what I'm used to in a ciabatta) and the "crumb" was a little too dense. It is still the best bread I have managed to make myself, but I would love to figure out how to get a lighter texture and a much thinner, more manageable crust. Any ideas what the problem could be? I would really appreciate it! Oh and I have my own food blog these days too, if you are into reading other food blogs: foodandfluff.blogspot.com
- December 10, 2010 at 4:31 PM
- Chef John said...
Unfortunately I really can't say for sure! I never bloom the yeast first, so maybe that's it? Too many variables with bread to really start guessing. All I can say is I've only done it exactly as shown on the video and it's always worked. And yes this is a thick crusted bread.
- December 10, 2010 at 4:40 PM
Great video! I've been making the Ain5 Bread and tinkering with it. (I have the book but haven't used it, just playing on my own with the basic recipe. LOL) I love to add semolina and think I will give it a shot with this recipe.

I am here to tell you about backups. It's very simple.
Option 1: Learn not to care about your data. Don't save any old email, use a film camera, and only listen to physical CDs and not MP3s. If you have no posessions, you have nothing to lose.
Option 2 goes like this:
You have a computer. It came with a hard drive in it. Go buy two more drives of the same size or larger. If the drive in your computer is SATA2, get SATA2. If it's a 2.5" laptop drive, get two of those. Brand doesn't matter, but physical measurements and connectors should match.
Get external enclosures for both of them. The enclosures are under $30.
Put one of these drives in its enclosure on your desk. Name it something clever like "Backup". If you are using a Mac, the command you use to back up is this:
sudo rsync -vax --delete --ignore-errors / /Volumes/Backup/
If you're using Linux, it's something a lot like that. If you're using Windows, go fuck yourself.
If your version of rsync supports the --xattrs and --acls options (it probably does), use those too.
If you have a desktop computer, have this happen every morning at 5AM by creating a temporary text file containing this line:
0 5 * * * rsync -vax --delete --ignore-errors / /Volumes/Backup/
and then doing sudo crontab -u root that-file
If you have a laptop, do that before you go to bed. Really. Every night when you plug your laptop in to charge.
If you're on a Mac, that backup drive will be bootable. That means that when (WHEN) your internal drive scorches itself, you can just take your backup drive and put it in your computer and go. This is nice.
When (WHEN) your backup drive goes bad, which you will notice because your last backup failed, replace it immediately. This is your number one priority. Don't wait until the weekend when you have time, do it now, before you so much as touch your computer again. Do it before goddamned breakfast. The universe tends toward maximum irony. Don't push it.
That third drive? Do a backup onto it the same way, then take that to your office and lock it in a desk. Every few months, bring it home, do a backup, and immediately take it away again. This is your "my house burned down" backup.
"OMG, three drives is so expensive! That sounds like a hassle!" Shut up. I know things. You will listen to me. Do it anyway.
Update: Mac users: for the backup drive to be bootable, you need to do two things:
When you partition the drive, use GUID, not Apple Partition Map;
Get Info on the drive and un-check "Ignore ownership on this drive" under "Ownership and permissions."

North Dakota Master in Educational Leadership On-Campus Programs
Education Administration Schools offer different Master in Education Leadership degrees geared to fields of study such as school administration, student affairs and curriculum and instruction. Some masters in education administration programs may prepare today's teacher to drive their career into a more administrative direction. Others may help teachers mentor other teachers, foster student achievement, or enhance their classroom skills.
Whatever you hope to learn, study it on campus to take advantage of face to face interactions with your instructors.
Earning your Master in Educational Leadership Degree On-Campus
To make a Master in Education Administration degree more accessible, some educational leadership schools hold courses in the evenings, weekends or even in summer. In some universities, classes may be small enough to interact with your faculty. You might also enjoy a supportive peer network if you move through a Masters in Education Leadership program with a team of colleagues. Plus you could take advantage of other campus resources and student events, such as libraries, career counseling and more.
Explore Education Administration Schools for MEd, MA, & MS Degrees
You will want to look for education administration schools based on the type of Masters in Education Leadership degree you need to further your goals. For instance, do you hope to pursue a specific type of state licensure post-degree? Is your main interest to expand your instructional skillset? You will also want to consider program requirements and your past experience to find a match for you. Contact individual programs directly to inquire about specific program objectives and admission requirements.
On-Campus MEd, MA, MS in Educational Leadership Degrees
There are three common forms of 'education degrees'. These are the Master of Education (MEd), Master of Arts (MA), and Master of Science (MS) in Education. Educational leadership and administration are typical areas of emphasis for each.
- A Master of Education (MEd) degree is sometimes used by licensed teachers to stimulate their career. As a professional degree it is usually designed to enhance practice skills.
- Master of Arts (MA) programs often focus on theory and action research by the student.
- Master of Science (MS) programs tend to focus on analysis, research, and the science behind learning.
Other masters degrees could draw content from business or psychology. Obviously, your academic background and the career choices you want to make should help to inform your decision. Several examples of education administration schools and the degrees they might offer are provided for you compare.
Master of Education in Educational Leadership
A Master of Education (MEd) in Educational leadership program may provide courses that are geared to state standards for principals. Applicants typically need a bachelors degree, current teaching certificate and minimum number of years as a teacher. Other material such as a strong GPA, reference forms, resume and personal essay could be required to supplement this.
Given the wide range of possible tasks and skills associated with school leaders, course content is likely to cover many topics. Some courses could help students learn how to use data to drive decisions and solve problems as they arise. Also, students may take a course that discusses school law and how to build relationships with community members. A small sample of other types of courses you might find is listed below.
- Instructional Leadership
- Human Resources, Recruitment, Development and Staff Retention
- Curriculum and Student Achievement
- Communication and Technology for School Leaders
- Budget and Finance
In addition to their courses, MEd students may take part in relevant internships as part of their degree requirements. This could be a great way for local students to begin their professional network with instructors in their area.
Principals typically need several years of work experience as a teacher. i
Master of Arts in Student Services Administration
The Master of Arts (MA) in Student Services Administration degree may appeal to current and future professionals who want to build or further their credentials. This type of program looks at the theory behind and practices for student services administration. Topics range from admissions and financial aid, student affairs and residential life to intercollegiate athletics, student activities, campus security, and records and registration. Some of the required courses might include research methods, college student development, governance, finance and law.
In some schools, the MA in Student Services Administration is a thirty-six-credit hour, non-thesis program. It might consist of required core courses, a student internship, and electives. A final project paper may also be required. Applicants typically need a bachelors degree and may have to show a specific GPA like 3.0., but this could vary between education administration schools.
Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction
The M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction is usually a degree for experienced teachers who want to discover new and effective instructional tactics. Along with an undergrad degree, applicants may need a teaching certificate in education. Some programs could also look at Praxis scores, references, an essay and may require a personal interview.
In terms of coursework, some programs might entail about 36 credits divided into required core courses, electives and a capstone. Courses typically combine theory, practice and action research. Through these students could learn how to integrate technology into lesson design and explore education law and models of instruction. This type of program could also factor in elective credits which meet the educational requirements for the Supervisor Certification. Other possible areas of focus that might be available to students include Principal Certification, ESL Certification, and Special Education.
Master of Science in Educational Leadership
The Master of Science (M.S.) in Educational Leadership program may suit educators who want to broaden their knowledge and skills to pursue formal or informal leadership roles in schools. To apply, students are presumed to have a bachelors degree from an accredited university, letters of recommendation and a personal essay. Students who want to work towards their administrative license may also need a valid teaching license in their state. If this is your goal, you can check which education administration schools have programs in your city or state.
Some MS programs entail about 30 credits. Core courses typically engage students with content that could explore finance, legal areas, staff evaluation and more. In their courses, students may develop the ability to think systematically and analyze an organization's overall effectiveness. In addition to their classes, students may conduct guided research in a leadership area of their choice. The aim of this research is usually to develop findings that can be directly applied to their practice area.
Potential Career Outlook
Graduates with a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership may be prepared to pursue a variety of teaching and administrative positions in both public and private schools. Public school teachers and most public school administrators must be licensed by the state, which may mean teachers must continue their studies to keep licensure current.i Further degrees such as a PhD in Educational Leadership, Education Specialist or Doctor of Education are also available in some education administration schools. For those who want to teach education at the post-secondary level, an advanced degree is generally necessary.ii
Find Accredited Education Leadership Schools
Many education leadership schools are regionally or nationally accredited which means every few years they undergo a review. Some individual programs may also be approved by independent agencies such as the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Presently, the NCATE has been consolidated with the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). In general, accredited schools have to meet standards for things like their finances, faculty, curricula and services. This may be a helpful factor when deciding between education leadership schools.
Take the Next Step
Whether you want to launch or enhance your career, the next step is to find a Master in Educational Leadership School. We make it easy for you. Look for education leadership schools by city, state or country. Or, filter by subject (e.g. student affairs). This brings up a list of programs for you to read about and easily apply to.

(Reuters) - South Korean free agent outfielder Choo Shin-soo has agreed to a seven-year contract with the Texas Rangers, who were looking for more power at the plate, Major League Baseball's website said on Saturday.
The deal, which has not been confirmed by the Rangers, is worth about $130 million, according to Texas media. It is subject to Choo passing a physical.
Texas beat out the New York Yankees for the sought-after outfielder, who could be introduced as a Ranger next week, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Choo, 31, will likely be the Rangers' leadoff batter and play left field.
One of the top leadoff hitters in the Major Leagues last season, he will team with Prince Fielder, who was acquired earlier from Detroit, in a revamped Texas offense.
Choo spent last season with the Cincinnati Reds, hitting .285 with 21 home runs, 54 runs batted in, and 107 runs scored. He previously played for the Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Indians and has a career batting average of .288 in nine Major League seasons.

Hello world! J Monkeys here. New Year's Day is just a few turns of the earth away. Are you a resolution maker? Like Suze said on Thursday, NYR's often get made and blown in just a handful of days, but what about goals? In the words of Pretty Woman's Kit De Luca, "You got a goal? Ya gotta have a goal." And they (you know them, right?) say that goals which are written down are significantly more likely to be accomplished than those that are not.
So, last year, I set some goals for myself. Check 'em out. Before I announce my 2013 goals, I thought I'd see how I measure up for 2012.
1. Publish 6 Books: I'm behind, but not by much. Brook the Fish is complete and available for sale. The final version of DIY Publishing ~ Cheap & Easy will be uploaded to Createspace on 12-31-12. The final version of In the Woods will be uploaded to Createspace on 12-31-12. The next (and likely last) draft of illustrations for Dixie & Taco go to the Beach are available and awaiting my review. The first proof of Street Sign Scavenger Hunt will be ordered on 12-31-12. So that's five nearly-finished books. I will absolutely have those done, and available for sale by 1-31-13.
When it comes to that 6th book, I'm less sure. The Fearsome Dane (a novella that goes along with my Livingston-Wexford Adventures) is 75% complete or more. My Genealogy Cookbook only wants for photography at this point. And I did create a personal organizer for 2012 which worked out so well that I'm creating one for 2013. The template will be available for sale by the end of January. Oh, and lest I forget, I'm about 1/2 way through the first draft of a new book as well. That's five done in 13 months, with 4 others solidly in the hopper. Even though I didn't actually publish 6 books in 2012, I'm happy with my progress and I'm calling it a win.
2. Sell Books: See, now, this was a poorly stated goal. I did sell books in 2012, so I could say that I met it, but I didn't sell anywhere near as many as I would have liked. I had a marketing plan, I just didn't follow it. I think that might be where I went wrong. But I sold books and I have better idea of what I need to do in the future so I'm calling it a win.
3. Lose 51 pounds: Sigh. Nope. Didn't do it. On the flip side, I didn't gain any weight either. In fact, I'm down 10 pounds from my January 1, 2012 weight. Not a win, but WAY better than 2011. Let's call this one a draw.
4. Improve my credit score: Wow – sadly I REALLY didn't make any progress on this one this year. With one thing and another, our credit score probably went down a smidge instead of up. Epic Fail.
5. Scrapbook 5 pages a week: Nope – I didn't do this one either. But the spirit of it was to do things for myself, things that I like to do. And I have done that. My BFF-from-high-school-who-was-also-my-college-roommate and I have managed to get together for lunch 8 or 9 times this year which is GREAT! I've really missed her. Plus, I had not one, but two scrapbooking retreats in 2012 and I've taken the odd day for myself here and there. Let's call that a win.
The total for 2012: 3 Wins, 1 Draw and 1 Fail. Not too shabby.
Today's Secret: Write well defined goals and don't forget to go back and see how you measure up. Remember why you wrote the goals that you did. Sometimes even when you don't meet the stated goal, you might meet the spirit of it. Plus, they are your goals. Cut yourself some slack and take credit for the things you did rather than beat yourself up for those things you didn't get to yet.
Today's Question: How did you do with your 2012 goals?
And just for fun: here's a link to a bit-o-fun for the year to come. Oh Alex…rumored to be Tarzan? I'd SO go see that movie!

I am wondering on how to implement a program at our school, that would provide fruits and vegetables to the kids for free. I was reading about the USDA program that happened in 2002. Please let me know what you may know or how I can proceed. – Heidi Mckee
That program is currently funded in specific states, and only a certain number of schools in each state receive funding for it. However, it has been expanded, and the hope is that it will continue to be. You would need to check if your state is one of those that receives funding to start. You can find more information about the program at http://www.fns.usda.gov/cga/FactSheets/FFVP_Quick_Facts.htm

COMMON RIDINGS and CARTER BAR
|Horse Statue, Hawick
Photograph by Lesley Fraser
Until recently I lived in the town of Hawick where the focal point of the local calendar is Hawick Common Riding. It is both a symbolic riding of the town's boundaries, made in the past to safeguard burgh rights and also a commemoration of the "callants", young lads of Hawick, who in 1514, raided a body of English troops and captured their flag - the "banner blue". This skirmish followed the the ill-fated Battle of Flodden in 1513, when King James IV and much of the "Flower of Scotland" were killed. The 1514 Monument (right), unveiled in June 1914 and known locally as "The Horse", commemorates this victory.

|Hawick's Cornet with the "Banner Blue".
Photograph by Lesley Fraser
All of the main towns in the Borders have a 'common riding' - or something similar,but each one has its own unique spirit and specific traditions. Typically, a "Cornet" or other named representative, i.e. Standard Bearer, Braw Lad, Callant, Reiver etc. is selected from the young men of the town, and becomes an honoured figure. He leads a procession of mounted and foot followers through the town. He proudly carries the town flag, creating a marvelous spectacle. He then leads his cavalcade of riders out of the town into the hills and around the town's ancient boundaries re-enacting the age old ritual of 'riding the marches.'
It is a time when exiles return to their home town to renew friendships and join in the celebrations - in ceremonies and processions, picnics and horse-racing, and in songs, ballads and music, such as one of my favourites below:
"Where Slitrig dances doon the dell
To join the Teviot Water
There dwells auld Hawick's honest men
and Hawick's bright-eyed daughters."
CARTER BAR -Some more fascinating facts on the Scottish Borders:
No, Carter Bar is not a place for a drink - it is so called after the old word for "gate or "pass, used by the carters and drovers who crossed the Cheviot Hills at this high point of the Border between England and Scotland - high in British terms, that is, as only 1370 feet. Now marked by this impressive massive stone.
Nearby is the place of the Raid of Redeswire in 1575 - the last encounter in the Borders between the English and Scots.

The Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill, 8855 Germantown Ave., will host the Festival of Music and Art on Friday through Sunday, November 1-3, featuring musical performances by the Gallery Choir and Orchestra and the Rutgers University Collegium Musicum, and an art exhibit of works by Fresh Artists.
"It is an honor for us to once again host the popular Festival of Music and Art, and to have this opportunity to showcase creative artwork and exquisite music that reflects the life-giving gifts of our local community," said Daniel Spratlan, Music Director of the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill.
The first concert of the Festival will be held Friday evening in the church sanctuary at 7:30 p.m., featuring the Gallery Choir and Orchestra performing Maurice Duruflé's Requiem and Heinrich Schütz's groundbreaking Musikalische Exequien.
Along with Duruflé and Schütz, the program includes "A Child's Prayer" by Scottish composer James MacMillan, written following the killing of sixteen primary school children at the Dunblane School in Scotland in 1996. This tragedy led to the passing of the Firearms Act in 1997, making private ownership of handguns illegal in the U.K.
"As artists, we have a responsibility not only to create beautiful art, but to reflect the experience of our community through our art," Spratlan said. "While much of the community has experienced the effects of violence and its accompanying grief, the Festival presents artistic and musical works that recognize this grief and at the same time offer comfort, hope, and a recognition of the resilience of the human spirit."
An art exhibit and reception will precede the concert on Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. in the church's Widener Hall. Several large prints of art commissioned from local youth will be on display in an art exhibit featuring Fresh Artists, a local organization dedicated to empowering young minds with art.
Fresh Artists is a nonprofit organization committed to enabling art making to be available to all children, supplying innovative art programs and art supplies to art teachers in severely under-resourced public schools, and engaging the children being served as full philanthropic partners in the giving process.
The Festival will conclude with a Sunday concert at 1 p.m. in the church's sanctuary featuring choral music of the Renaissance performed by the Rutgers University Collegium Musicum, a 20-voice choral ensemble comprised of faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and members of the community who are dedicated to performing many genres of popular and lesser-known Renaissance music. Sunday's program will include music of Josquin des Prez, Carlo Gesualdo, and William Byrd.
The suggested donation is a free will offering.
For more information, call the church office at 215-247-8855 or visit www.chestnuthillpres.org.

Some general whatnots from life not spent arting about.
Took Alexis Mackenzie and Mr. Fish out one day.
Dropped Fish off on land where he scored hotdogs. Nice catch.
The Giants lost to Arizona... Of course.
So much spackling when you own an art gallery.
And art packing
Went out with our sailing mentor, Russell, on Regis's boat.
Going out on someone elses boat can be more relaxing as you're not responsible for the boat thus leaving you more time for beer drinking.
Regis and his girlfriend Angelines
In Richard's Bay there are some awesome house boats
Resturants with a dock are great for a quick bloody mary stop.
Here Regis asked Angelines to marry him
She said yes!
Peeing off the back of the boat
and more packing of art
and cleaning of the boat's beer stash after a few exploded in the cooler
My babies clean and safe
Breezy and Andrew came out for some BBQ, drunken raft trip and cards.
and repairing of boat
New blige pump... I won't tell you how gross it was installing a new pump on the toliet... thanks to whoever tried to flush paper towels.
"A Man and His Urine".... Andrew using the gallery's fine toliet.

HardwarePage address: http://www.mnsu.edu/its/started/standards/hardware.html
Information and Technology Services is committed to providing technical support to the faculty, staff, and students of the University. In order to fulfill that commitment, it is critical that we establish common standards for both hardware and software. The standards specified below will meet the needs of the average computer user including word processing, spreadsheet, web browser, e-mail, and access to the Minnesota State Integrated Student Records Systems. It is highly recommended that faculty and staff consult with ITS or the Campus Computer Store before making a purchase. Questions can be directed to the Help Desk at 389-6654 or Campus Computer Store at 389-1907.
ITS recommends you purchase either Dell or Apple computers and HP printers. The Campus Computer Store has established a relationship with Dell and Apple to provide the campus with the lowest prices and free shipping. Our Electronic Repair Services department is certified to work on both Dell and Apple computers and we are reimbursed for doing many warranty repairs. Profits from the Computer Store are returned to the University. The Computer Store has recently paid over $68,000 for the Microsoft Campus Agreement. That will save money for every department. By purchasing Dell and Apple computers you will receive the lowest prices, best service, and profits are used to fund ITS initiatives that benefit everyone on campus.
Waiver of Standards
Purchasing will place orders for workstations that meet or exceed the standards from the approved vendors with no further approvals required. Orders for computers that do not meet the hardware standards or are from an unapproved vendor must be accompanied by a [PDF] Waiver of Standards (52 KiB). A waiver requires the coordination of Information and Technology Services and the approval of the respective Dean or Vice President. Any hardware purchased via waiver must be purchased with a vendor maintenance/service contract for the life of the equipment (3 years minimum).
Minimum Standards
The minimum standards should be considered when purchasing a computer. They should meet the needs of the average computer user for the next 3 to 4 years. A user can purchase systems and components that exceed these standards.
Wireless technology
Wireless Ethernet card: Linksys or TrueMobile. Laptop/notebook users may want to consider purchasing a wireless Ethernet card to use on campus. Desktop users should not buy wireless Ethernet cards. For best performance desktop users should use the Ethernet connection in the wall of their office.

Alaska: Four Inspirational Love Stories from America's Final Frontier
Barbour Pub., 1998 - Fiction - 456 pages
The bleak wilderness of America's 49th state challenges three women in different eras: Julie, a nurse, who must serve victims of a 1925 diphtheria epidemic; Beth, whose Canadian-born husband is killed in World War II; and Rita, who takes on the ultimate test of endurance, the Iditarod dog sled race. Each must surmount the obstacles of her life, and perhaps, with God's help, find true love as well. As a special bonus, 'Alaska' also includes Tracie Peterson's novella 'Christmas Dream.'

One problem is that not everything you find out there is too great. Here's a little bit of gold dust for you though. It's Masterclass http://www.oup.com:80/elt/global/products/ielts/masterclass/a_practice_test/ This is truly excellent. Really high quality material with a complete listening and reading test. But what I really and truly like about it is that it is not interactive. That sound strange? Let me explain: for me this is a really top tip for IELTS preparation. Reading You'll know that one time is your enemy in the reading paper. But where do you waste most time? The chances are that it is looking for the right part of the text to get the answer. Here's a solution. Not everyone will agree with me here, but give it a go and see if it works for you. As you read through first time mark the text with your pencil, picking out key words/phrases that organise the text. you know the boring topic sentences! That way you'll be able to find the right part of the text to get the answer quickly. And, to repeat myself, time is your enemy. Here's another thing you should think about doing. When you find the answer, underline it in the text and write the number of the question against it. This way, if you find what you think may be a better answer later, you can quickly(that word again) and easily check to see which is the best answer. Could you do this on an online, interactive test - fun as it may be? I don't think so. This is where the Masterclass site really works. Listening It's much the same with the listening. Much of the problem with the listening is not hearing the answer, but writing it down in real time. The problem is you are multi-tasking: reading the question, thinking, listening and writing all at once. That's why your listening score may not be so great. A solution? You need to practise writing and listening at the same time. You can't do this online, you need pen and paper. You need to practise the skill of making notes and transferring those notes onto the answer paper. Do yourself a favour - give the Masterclass site a try. I am in no way connected to it, I am just a teacher who likes to help. If you need answer sheets and I do suggest you practise with them because many, many mistakes are made by filling them out wrongly, you can download them from my site Dominic Cole's IELTS Blog http://www.dcielts.com Happy practice!_________________Dominic Cole Dominic Cole's IELTS Blog Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Dave's ESL Cafe's Student Discussion Forums Forum Index -> TOEFL and Other English Exams All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1 Jump to: Select a forum Student Forums----------------ComputersCurrent NewsCultureEnglish SchoolsFamilyFilm and CinemaFoodHealth and FitnessHelp CenterHobbiesHolidaysLearning EnglishLiteratureMaking FriendsMusicOpinionsPetsScienceSportsThe Strange and MysteriousTOEFL and Other English ExamsTravel You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum Dave's ESL Cafe is maintained by the one and only Dave Sperling.

VATICAN CITY — Our senior correspondent, Cindy Wooden, is with the pope in Cyprus. Here is a snippet of what the pope talked about with journalists on the flight over from Rome:
ABOARD THE PAPAL FLIGHT TO CYPRUS (CNS) — Pope Benedict XVI said he was deeply saddened by the murder of the president of the Turkish bishops' conference, but he said Bishop Luigi Padovese's death should not cast a shadow over his visit to the eastern Mediterranean or over Catholic-Muslim dialogue.
The murder "has nothing to do with the theme of this trip, with dialogue; it has nothing to do with Turkey or the Turks," he told reporters flying with him to Cyprus June 4.
"Right now we have little information, but it is certain that it was not a political or religious assassination; it was personal," the pope said.
Bishop Padovese, the apostolic vicar of Anatolia, died June 3 of stab wounds. His driver and friend, who had been undergoing psychiatric treatment, was arrested and reportedly confessed to the crime.
Flying to Cyprus, an island divided between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, the pope said, "It is a tragedy that saddens us, but it should not cast a shadow over the dialogue in every sense that will be a theme of this trip."
The pope spent just under 15 minutes answering five questions posed to him by Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman. Journalists had submitted questions to Father Lombardi in writing before the trip.
Pope Benedict said that by visiting Cyprus and by presenting the working document for the special Synod of Bishops on the Middle East, he hoped to promote peace, which is "the common responsibility of all who believe in the one God, creator of heaven and earth, the God in whose image and likeness we were created."

WASHINGTON – As cities go, the nation's capital is as food newsworthy as any in this land. What with all those embassies keeping a spotlight on international cuisine, ever-present buzz about first family dining forays or official state dinners, the food policy role of the government, and a diverse restaurant scene, a food lover has no excuse to be bored.
So it was for members of the Association of Food Journalists gathered here early this month for their annual conference.
Regardless of party affiliation, election year or not, everybody wants to know what and how (and where) the first family eats. A panel of current and former White House chefs shed some delicious light on that subject.
Little-known fact: The president's family pays for its own food. Groceries purchased for regular family meals are kept separate from those acquired for state dinners and other official functions, according to Cristeta Comerford, White House executive chef since August 2005.
So yes, like most families, the Obamas do eat leftovers.
And White House chefs have emphasized healthy cooking even before Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative and her efforts, such as the White House vegetable garden (more on that in a few weeks), to encourage Americans to eat better, Comerford said.
For this elite group of chefs, cooking for a first family – any first family – requires a special mind-set.
"The White House is a house," said pastry chef Bill Yosses. "That was the biggest adjustment for me."
"It's not about us as chefs," emphasized Comerford. "At the end of the day, you have to please the people you're cooking for."
To that end, the chefs on the panel all could remember dishes that a president asked them to never make again.
For George H.W. Bush, it was a broccoli dish that Barbara insisted he would love, said Frank Ruta. ("Maybe she was setting me up, I don't know," he mused, referencing the president's well-known distaste for broccoli.)
For Bill Clinton, it was pecan pie, recalled Roland Mesnier, White House pastry chef for 26 years starting in 1979.
Feeling creative, Yosses once made a chocolate pecan pie for the Obamas. Not a hit. The first family also doesn't care for beets, Comerford learned after serving a dish of them once.
Talk of state dinners revealed that White House customs can and do change. A typical state dinner today consists of five courses served to 136 people, Comerford said. And they last exactly 55 minutes.
Plating of dinners is done in the old family dining room because the kitchen is too small, she said. Although this is "the hardest part of the meal," she said, in full swing "we can crank out 50 plates in seven minutes."
When Ruta and Mesnier were in the White House, state dinners were not individually plated. They were served family style on large platters. Hillary Rodham Clinton ordered the change.
"I think platter service is much nicer," said the outspoken Mesnier, "because you can choose what you want. And the platters were always beautiful and festive.
"I hate plate service. When that came to the White House, I really resented it. Most of my desserts were plattered to the very end."
Asked if there were seconds at state dinners, Mesnier was equally decisive. "No, there are no seconds and no doggy bags."
But Comerford contradicted him with a smile: "We have never denied a guest."
"That's new," Mesnier said.
One thing the chefs agreed on: For state dinners, there is no room for error. You have to get it right, every time, on time.
"This is not the time to cry or call 911 or call your mother," Mesnier said. "You don't get a second chance."
Usually, making and timing all of the dishes in advance – a routine practice taken so the first lady and staff can sample them and make final choices – eliminates any chance for error.
Still, Mesnier came close to disaster once, he said. He was making hot raspberry soufflés for a large state dinner serving 250. The egg whites wouldn't whip. He started over twice, dumping out both batches. And then he overheard the chef and sous chef talking about mayonnaise they had made that morning …
It takes only three drops of residual oil to sabotage egg whites, the chef explained.
Turning to a clean bowl, he started again, this time to success. To speed up the cooking process, the soufflés were started on top of the stove and then put in the oven at the highest heat possible, he said.
"We were ready just in time, down to the second," Mesnier recalled. "I still have nightmares about it."
Questions about "first children" brought smiles and more stories.
Amy Carter would make cookies, Ruta said.
"She'd make a mess," Mesnier chimed in. "She'd put them in the oven and then go off and roller skate."
Chelsea Clinton did indeed come down to the White House kitchen for cooking lessons before she left for college.
But when it came to the Obama girls, Yosses and Comerford were resolutely closemouthed, following the family's wishes. Yosses would say only that "the girls come down once in a while."
Mesnier recalled that once he was called at home at midnight to return to the White House to bake and decorate a birthday cake for Chelsea, by then a college student at Stanford, and box it up special for her parents' early-morning flight. He did it without complaint.
Said Mesnier: "You have to be fully dedicated if you work for the White House."

British Go Journal No. 62. July 1984. Page 3.
Ian Meiklejohn
Another journal - not quite on time, but almost, give or take a couple of weeks. This one has a new Editor, what's more, so you might be forgiven for thinking that it marks the start of a new era. Who knows, I hear you all thinking, maybe I'll get four issues this year...
Actually, you won't, since a fall in the BGA's cash reserves has led the committee to publish only one more journal this year, the next to follow early in January. So, like last year, only three issues of the journal will land on your club secretary's door mat. In fact the reason for this has less to do with money than people. Or rather the lack of people. In recent years it is not just the journal that has suffered, either. The fortunes of the BGA have witnessed a gradual but seemingly ineluctable slide. Membership has now dropped to 550. The cause of this sorry state of affairs ? Quite simply, our organisation has been inadequate to the task of servicing and expanding the member-ship. Like the journal, the work has fallen on the shoulders of a very small band of enthusiasts.
Of course not all is doom and gloom. As our president, Richard Granville, points out elsewhere in this issue, the British tournament scene is more active than ever, and our top players, including Matthew Macfadyen [ picture omitted. ] do well in Europe. But things are far from rosy in the garden of British Go. If the game is to thrive, perhaps indeed, survive, in the 80s it needs the involvement of a wider circle of volunteers willing to shoulder at least a small portion of the burden. China not only invented the marvelous game of Go, it brought us the proverb "many hands make light work'. Perhaps there is a moral there.

More Men Than Women Live With Their Parents
As more adults decide to live with mom and dad, young men appear to be less willing to fly the nest than women, a new study finds. This, experts say, could be an early sign of larger economic problems. Quentin Fottrell and branding expert John Bonini takes a look at the study.

What Does It Mean to Be Kashmiri?
Inshah Malik
"We in Kashmir are not Arabs, Iranians, Turks, or Indians. We are Kashmiris, and with the acceptance that we have our own identity and narrative, we can have meaningful exchanges with the world."
Kashmir: a place that evokes both appreciation for beauty and a horrific fear as South Asia's most militarized zone, infested with a culture of lawlessness, impunity, and an explicit celebration of militarism. Kashmir is home to a 90% Muslim majority population and is often positioned as 'concentrated minority,' as against the 'dominant majority' of the Indian mainstream. Kashmir has been politically at war with India for its complete freedom from the dominion of India for the last 60 years, often receiving less attention internationally. As with Kashmir, its women remain hidden in a shroud of mystery and Indian propaganda.
I remember when I first traveled from Kashmir – where understanding freedom or demanding freedom was almost homologous to revolution or extremism (or at least that is the way it was represented in Indian media) – to Bombay, the economic capital of India. The nonexistence of army camps or barbed wires appeared no better to me; instead it posed a threat of ambiguity or a crisis of existentialism.
For the first time I embarked on a Bombay local train that is the heart of the city's transportation system. I sat on an iron seat fixed to the floor with huge medieval looking nails and my eyes fixed to the fast-moving scenes replicating into new frames each second from the window. My gaze was interrupted by the shrill voice of a woman dressed in traditional Indian dress; she was frail, thin, and her bones worn out of tireless movement trying to sell daily-use articles on a train to make a living. This was when I deeply encountered poverty and abjection in India. In Kashmir, my crises had everything to do with identity and an illegal occupation, but much of the reform from our nationalist leaders had given us a breather from the cruelty of poverty. I gasped a long sigh, as if to show disdain for those responsible for the disregard of life in this desolate sense, but the undercurrent was always my resentment to Indian government for turning the heaven called Kashmir into a living hell.
A middle class Indian woman sitting across to me purchased some stuff from the vendor and unexpectedly smiled at me (because of viewing me an obvious outsider). She began a conversation: "Are you Arab?" I was surprised, and wondered why she would think I was Arab, but soon enough I found the answer. My hijab (headscarf) and fair complexion was the reason. I replied "No," and she went on guessing. "Are you from Iran?" And I said "No." Should I have answered "I am from India?" (India claims Kashmir to be its integral part.) I said, after some thinking, "I am from Kashmir." The word Kashmir evoked surprise on the lady's face. Kashmir to her sounded akin to saying Afghanistan in the international context. "Kashmir is a paradise on earth!" she exclaimed (probably owing to the way Kashmir is depicted in Indian films). And thereafter she inquired, "Do we need visas to travel to Kashmir?" Her questions were in some way satisfying my own belief about Kashmir, that it is culturally, historically, and politically a separate entity that is under forceful occupation of India.
The conversation had not continued very long, when the lady began to inquire in a fearful tone about the political condition in Kashmir. In her narrative of Kashmir, she imagined it to be full of gun-wielding, bearded monsters out to kill all those who are not Muslim. This labeling of Muslims as terrorists is often thought to be an issue faced only by Muslims in the West, but Kashmiri Muslims also face this demeaning label in India. This false and negative discourse is no longer just a Western import; it has spread far and wide.
Her questions showed me that the rhetoric on Kashmir that India has used internationally has failed to have convincing results in the heartland of its nation. Indians have failed to absorb the narrative of Kashmir as a part of India. In other words, there is an ongoing disconnect between the official narrative of India and Indian people's knowledge on Kashmir.
We in Kashmir are not Arabs, Iranians, Turks, or Indians. We are Kashmiris, and with the acceptance that we have our own identity and narrative, we can have meaningful exchanges with the world.

Bringing up blood: Esophageal tears need fast repair
Starvin' like Marvin! Yes, don't we all feel that from time to time? You know you shouldn't eat it, but it taunts you. It whispers to you, "C'mon. Eat me. You're hungry, and I'm delicious. Just eat me!"
Recently I ate some two-day-old baked ziti that had been out of the fridge for a few hours. I was at work late, and I was hungry. I ate maybe a fistful without even heating it up. And an hour later– bleeeeh!
What bad things can happen when you puke?
Well, beside the obvious, a Mallory-Weiss tear can occur. These are actually tears in the lower esophagus and stomach that can result from forceful retching. In 1929, two researchers, Kenneth Mallory and Soma Weiss, described this type of gastrointestinal (GI) bleed seen in 15 alcoholic patients.
So Mallory-Weiss realized that where the stomach and esophagus meet, the area can develop lacerations, allowing the underlying arteries to bleed.
I'm not against alcohol when it's used responsibly, but heavy drinking causes problems (fights, bad relationships, becoming a Desperate Housewife television star). Forty to 80 percent of Mallory-Weiss tears occur in heavy drinkers.
Blood in the emesis (i.e. vomitus, the puke) is a clue to an upper GI bleed. Usually the blood coming up doesn't look like a True Blood or Twilight vampire's mouth after a feast. It tends to be small.
Stomach pain located just south of the breastbone often occurs from Mallory-Weiss tears, but pain can also occur directly in the back. Vomiting and retching (retching means trying to vomit, because for many people, it takes a few heaves to bring things up) precede the bleed because it's the force and pressure of the process that tear the lining of the esophagus and stomach.
Hiatal hernias are a large risk factor for a Mallory-Weiss tear, probably because of the increased pressure of the esophagus herniating into the chest through the diaphragm.
Besides vomiting, other things can put stress on the esophagus/stomach area of Mallory-Weiss tears: straining while pooping, coughing, lifting heavy objects, convulsions, closed-chest massage— and, get this: hiccups under anesthesia!
If you vomit up blood, you have to go to the emergency room.
Though the tears usually heal on their own, too much blood might be lost before that occurs. Forty to 70 percent of folks with Mallory-Weiss need a blood transfusion. Most vulnerable for prolonged bleeding or re-bleeding are folks on anticoagulants like aspirin and warfarin.
An even worse case of an esophageal bleed is Boerhaave's syndrome, in which the esophagus is perforated (i.e. blown open). An endoscopy can do this. Boerhaave's can occur from straining or vomiting due to pressure that fully tears open the esophagus.
So an unhealthy esophagus– from swallowing something caustic (like a kitchen cleaning agent), Barrett's esophagitis with an ulcer, infections, and pill esophagitis— is extra vulnerable. (Yes, swallowing a pill without enough water can tear up the esophagus.)
Retched topic! Sorry to bring it up and hurl it at you. Watch what you eat and drink!

Paul Oakenfold
Long before electronic dance music drew hundreds of thousands of neon-painted hipsters to events like the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas and producer-DJs from Calvin Harris to Afrojack were improving hit singles by mainstream pop stars, there was Oakenfold. The 49-year-old DJ came out of London's house-music scene in the late '80s, has remixed U2 and produced Madonna; he spews out album after album (many on his own Perfecto label) of beats that can soothe even the most anxious of robots. 8 p.m., headlining the Chicago NYE Ball at the Castle, 632 N.

Cincinnati continued its undefeated run to start the 2012-2013 college basketball season with a 60-45 win last night over Xavier in the Crosstown Rivalry. Of greater interest than the final score, though, is that the game happened at all—and in such cordial fashion. Last year's UC-X game, of course, ended much uglier than the bro-hugs that launched last night's bout:
Basketball in the Queen City is religion, with allegiances even stronger than those for Cincinnati's eponymous chili. (We prefer Gold Star, for the record.) While incidents like last year's rumble are great for sports blogs, they're bad for a sport that's already lost one of its great annual rivalries.


text: Pakistan cricketers received jail sentences and cricket bans in November 2011 after match-fixing trial [GALLO/GETTY]Disgraced former captain Salman Butt still believes he can return to international cricket after he and former Pakistan teammate Mohammad Asif lost their appeals against lengthy bans for spot-fixing in a Test against England.The Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the challenges of both players on Wednesday to bans imposed by the International Cricket Council. The ICC welcomed the CAS decision in an 'important, sensitive and high-profile matter.'"The decisions strengthen our resolve to always remain vigilant and keep the game clean at all cost, whilst continuing to educate the players about the threats and ways to combat the challenges faced by our sport," the ICC said.CAS confirmed Butt lost his appeal against a 10-year ban while Asif failed to overturn a seven-year suspension. The players must serve five years of their sanctions, with the remaining years deferred by the ICC."I have already served two years and eight months (of the ban) and after another two years and four months I can still play,'' Butt said in the eastern city of Lahore soon after CAS rejected his appeal in Lausanne, Switzerland."I wasn't more than 50 percent sure that the decision will come in my favour," he said. 'Bitterly disappointed' Butt will be 30 when his minimum five-year suspension ends, and with Pakistan Test and one-day captain Misbah-ul-Haq at 39, Butt believes he can contend again for a place in the national team."If I can perform when the ban ends its fine, otherwise I will have to do some other work," he said.Lawyers for Butt said the player 'will be exploring every other available avenue' to resume his professional career."Both Salman and us are bitterly disappointed with the decision of the court," said Amer Rahman, the legal advisor who represented Butt in the appeal. "Salman has been in a very dark place over the last few years and he was hoping that he would be successful in this appeal. We will not be giving up" Butt's legal advisor, Amer Rahman "Salman has been in a very dark place over the last few years and he was hoping that he would be successful in this appeal. We will not be giving up."Butt, Asif and teammate Mohammad Amir were found guilty in an English criminal trial of arranging to bowl no-balls for betting scams during an August 2010 test at Lord's. They were jailed for three to seven months.CAS said Butt did not contest the ICC's guilty verdict against him but wanted a reduction in the length of his ban."However, the panel was not persuaded that the sanction imposed by the ICC tribunal was disproportionate, nor that any of the mitigating circumstances advanced by Mr. Butt qualified as exceptional circumstances," CAS said in a statement.Regarding Asif, who didn't appeal his ICC sanction, CAS was 'satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Mr. Asif was party to a spot-fixing conspiracy,' and that there was 'no evidence advanced... which clearly exculpated him and that his submissions did not break the chain of circumstantial evidence or in any way undermine the reasoning contained in the ICC's decision.'The same panel of three CAS arbitrators judged both cases after appeal hearings in February. CAS verdicts can be challenged at Switzerland's supreme court, which can overturn decisions only if legal process was abused.Amir did not appeal in the CAS against his five-year ban. Pakistan cricket has been constantly hit by fixing charges in recent times, and only last week the Pakistan Cricket Board banned international umpire Nadeem Ghauri for four years over corruption charges.

Earthquake overview : A very strong Magnitude 6.5 earthquake has hit the Mexican state of Michoacan. The hypocenter was initially set at 84 km but has been decreased later on to a dangerous depth of 20 km . 36000 people are without power as of 2am gmt but no major damage is reported.
"I have Felt it" Reports --> see below + Let us know "how you have felt this earthquake"
To read the full story as it happened, we advise our readers to start at the lower part of the page (earthquake data).
Check also our Mexico-only earthquake list
Keep this page open or return regularly as we will be back with more details when they become available
Update 13/04 - 07:35 UTC
After searching authorities reports and news reports, we were unable to find any damage occurred because of this earthquake. We are however not sure about all this, as the epicenter center area is mainly a wilderness and rural area with only a few smaller roads. If anyone has knowledge of damage or injuries, please use one of the forms below to let us know.
On September 19 1985, a Magnitude 8 earthquake occurred at only 43 km from today's epicenter. This earthquake was very cruel as it killed approx. 9,500 people
- So far NO reports of damage or injuries. As the epicenter is located in a wilderness area with only a limited number of roads but with a limited agrarian community, we expect reports to ripple in after many hours.
- EMSC maintains the Mw7.0 at a depth of 80 km for the moment, but we expect this to be changed for the USGS and Mexican data.
- We have just changed the title as USGS has been decreasing the depth to a dangerous 20 km. The new USGS data are somewhat confirmed by the local Servicio Sismologico Nacional who reports a Magnitude of 6.4 at 16 km depth. The combination of Magnitude and depth can be a damaging cocktail. We expect a radius of max. 40 km at highest risk. The new revised data will have generated a strong shaking for 15,000 people and a moderate MMI V shaking for 284,000 people.
- USGS has just downgraded the Michoacan earthquake from the initial Mw7.0 to Mw6.5. The depth however has been decreased further to 20 km, which makes the earthquake very dangerous for damage in the epicenter area.
- Our greatest fear is the danger for landslides in the area. The terrain is very hilly as shows this Wikipedia description : The state is crossed by the Sierra Madre del Sur, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Inter-mountain Valleys region. The Sierra Madre del Sur crosses the state northwest to southeast for approximately 200 km in the southwest between the municipalities of Chinicuila and Arteagaalong the Pacific Coast. It is considered to be a continuation of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Peaks in this range average about 2,900 masl, with the largest being the Cerro de las Canoas. The Mexican Trans Volcanic Belt crosses the state from west to east toward the Toluca Valleyand Valley of Mexico. This mountain range is marked by appearance of many volcanoes, active, dormant, and extinct alike (ER: this is however an earthquake which will have no immediate impact on the volcanoes). This system is subdivided into regions such as the Sierra de Tancítaro, Sierra de Periban, Sierra de San Angel and others. The best known volcano in this region is the Paricutín volcano
- We do thank all the people in Mexico who have shared their experiences with our readers. Sharing information with each other is the best way of finding out what the extend of the earthquake is.
- Scientists will have a hard time in explaining that there is NO relation in between the Oregon Mw5.9 earthquake and the M7.0 Mexico earthquake. There was a diffrence of 14 minutes in between the Oceanic Oregon earthquake and the Mexico subduction earthquake.
- USGS keeps his Magnitude Mw7.0 but has decreased the depth to 65 km instead of the initial 84 km.
- Today's earthquake is of a completely different type than the massive March 20 earthquake. Also the epicenter area is in a different part of the country.
- There is of course NO tsunami danger as the earthquake occurred below land
- 637,000 people will have felt a strong shaking and 1,000 a very strong shaking!!
- There are angry people because earthquake alarms didn't activated in some parts of the country.
- Power is off in some parts of Michoacan
- Update 23:28 UTC : Carlos Robles reports that :
* It was felt very strong at Lazaro Cardenas and strong in the center of Puebla.
* Alarms were activated before the earthquake and there were evacuations.
* Aftershock of 4.0M.
* As I have seen on live TV, communications are going down when they call to people at other cities.
- The Mexican seismological Agency reports a magnitude of 6.4. EMSC (Europe) report M7.0 at a depth of 80 km.
- Carlos Robles just reports that nor Oaxaco nor Mexico City did report damage. Earthquake-Report.com does not expect any damage neither
- This is a typical subduction earthquake where the Oceanic plate is subducting the North American plate.
- Lazaro Cardenas has a population of 178,817. Lazara Cardenas is approx. 69 km from the earthquake's epicenter.
- This earthquake will be felt ALL OVER CENTRAL AMERICA because of the depth of the hypocenter.
- The first I Have Felt It reports are confirming the depth of the earthquake as only weak to very weak shaking is indicated
- Good news (if confirmed) - the earthquakes hypocenter is at a depth of approx. 80 km which will weaken the impact a lot
- Collecting news at the moment

Several readers have taken President Barack Obama to task for suggesting that business successes are due in part to government investments ("Obama fails Business 101," July 19). As a business owner and engineer-scientist, I agree with President Obama.
Our business entrepreneurs thrive because of an environment protected and nurtured by government activities. Our legal system enforces contracts and protects patents, our military assures national security, firemen and policemen help create a safe environment, our transportation system assures timely delivery of goods and services, and most importantly our schools and public universities assure a steady supply of dedicated well trained workers.
Without these supportive measures, business in the U.S. could not survive.
Jack Kinstlinger, Baltimore
