1. Nuggets' Second Opinion Looks Solid
ESPN TrueHoop Network
Defeating the Utah Jazz is always reason to celebrate for Denver Nuggets fans. The Nuggets accomplished that feat for the third time in three tries this season with a 119-112 victory Sunday that saw Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups dominate the second half.
I think the Nuggets have more to celebrate than just another win over the rival Jazz. For the first time in over a month the Nuggets are healthy, but as good as that news is, there is something better. I firmly believe Denver is the second-best team in the West, behind the Lakers. I am sure fans in Dallas, Portland, San Antonio and Phoenix will disagree and frankly I do not blame them. Those are all very good teams, but hear me out.
As mentioned above, the Nuggets are fully healthy again. During the 14 games they have played since Dec. 14 without a combination of Billups, Anthony, Ty Lawson and Chris "Birdman" Andersen the Nuggets muddled their way to a 7-7 record. Every team deals with injuries and there is no guarantee any team will stay healthy, but the fact Denver went through a difficult month-long stretch missing at least one member of its eight-man rotation and it is still sitting in a second-place tie with Dallas is significant.
Apart from suffering through a tough patch injury wise, the Nuggets have not yet hit their stride on defense. Even in seasons when Denver was viewed as a sieve defensively, it was a top ten team in defensive efficiency. This season the Nuggets are currently allowing 103.9 points per 100 possessions, tied for 15th in the league. There are areas where their defense is likely to improve, such as their pick-and-roll defense which has been lackadaisical to say the least, and they have greatly improved their rotations over the previous week. Look for a defensive resurgence from Denver over the next few weeks that will lift Denver to the level it achieved last season.
Finally, there is Carmelo Anthony. Sure he does not play as hard on defense as I would like and he could pull down a couple more rebounds a night, but few teams have a player with Carmelo's talents. Of course Dallas can offer up Dirk Nowitzki and Phoenix has the incomparable Steve Nash. Carmelo demands more defensive attention than anyone this side of Kobe because of his ability to score in a multitude of ways.
Melo is also made more dangerous because of the quality of offensive players around him. Billups, J.R. Smith and Lawson can all take advantage of the room opposing defenses give them because of the attention Carmelo receives with both the three-point shot or their ability to drive. Nene and Kenyon Martin both receive plenty of layups thanks to their slashing ability.
The Nuggets also have the confidence of a team that reached the doorstep of the finals and pushed the Lakers as hard as anyone which will help Denver down the road. Teams like San Antonio, Dallas and Phoenix are coming off playoff disappointments that will surely weigh on their minds this spring.
Do not get me wrong, the gap between the Mavs, Suns, Blazers and Nuggets is a thin one and all of them have more assets to play with leading up to the trading deadline than Denver. Every other competitor can say it has advantages over Denver, but as a whole no team is as dangerous or talented as the Nuggets. Look for Denver to prove that over the next five months.Jeremy Wagner writes about the Nuggets on roundballminingcompany.com.

2. Life After Kobe
Jake (Portland, OR): In the not-so-distant-future, do you see Lakers owner Jerry Buss blowing up the Lakers once Kobe Bryant finally retires? We're talking about this at work today. Will they end up like Chicago, struggling to find another superstar to lead the team? Think it's fair to compare losing Bryant in L.A. to Chicago losing Jordan?
J.A. Adande: I believe Buss is willing to go all in right now to squeeze out a few more championships in the Kobe era and then will ease up after shelling out so much luxury tax $. There's a difference between Chicago and LA, though, in that the Lakers will have to stay competitive in order to keep selling tickets.
The Bulls had suites sales locked into long-term contracts after Jordan retired, and ticket sales remained strong because United Center had become a destination (the house that Jordan built). L.A. doesn't work that way. The Lakers couldn't withstand a 7-year playoff drought the way the Bulls did. A good test case will be the crowds at the Coliseum if Lane Kiffin can't maintain that Pete Carroll momentum at USC.

3. Daily Dime Live Recap
ESPN.com writers and TrueHoop Network bloggers chatted with fans and gave their in-game opinions throughout Sunday night's game -- all in Daily Dime Live.
4. After Presents Opened, Durant Leads Way
Kevin Durant provided 36 points and 10 rebounds while connecting on 14 of 18 field-goal attempts Saturday as the Thunder defeated the Heat, 98-80, in the NBA's battle of atmospheric conditions. Durant became the first NBA player this season to have a game of at least 35 points and 10 rebounds in which he made at least 75 percent of his field-goal attempts. He also equaled the total of such games -- one -- that Michael Jordan had in his NBA career.
Durant has now averaged 32.5 points per game in 12 games since Christmas -- the highest scoring average for any NBA player over that 23-day period.

5. Extreme Behavior
Carmelo Anthony, Nuggets: Goes for 37 points in the win over Utah, pulling down eight boards while sinking 11 of 12 free throws. He's 86.6 percent from the line this season, 80.2 percent for his career.
Erick Dampier, Mavs: While it's OK to be a defensive-minded center, being an offensive vacuum doesn't help. Dampier spent 21 minutes not taking a shot or a free throw in a 110-88 loss to the Raps.
"He's way more athletic than I ever was. He's shooting way quicker, he's got a quick first step. He's a tough matchup because he's so quick now off the dribble and he's shooting the ball really well this year."
-- Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki on Andrea Bargnani's progress.

8. Line Time For Howard
Dwight Howard scored a season-high 30 points on Tuesday against the Kings. Howard attempted 15 field goals, which tied a season high.
Howard is averaging only 9.2 field goal attempts per game this season, his lowest average since his rookie season (8.3 FGA PG). In his rookie season, he averaged 12.0 points per game.
No player in NBA history has averaged fewer than 10 field goal attempts per game and more than 10 free throw attempts per game for an entire season.
This season, Howard is averaging 9.2 field goal attempts per game and 10.1 free throw attempts per game.
9.Firsts For African-Americans
The NBA's color barrier was broken in the 1950-51 season, marking the first appearance of black players in the league. The following is information regarding that season and the players that broke the color barrier, in anticipation of Martin Luther King Day on Monday, Jan. 18, 2009.
The 1950-51 season was fifth season in the history of the NBA.
FIRST BLACK PLAYER DRAFTED: Chuck Cooper (out of Duquesne) by the Boston Celtics in the second round in 1950; also Earl Lloyd was drafted by the Washington Capitols in the ninth round and Harold Hunter was drafted by the Washington Capitols in the 10th round.
According to George Sullivan, a New York Times reporter, one owner said, "Walter, don't you know he's a colored boy?" To which Celtics owner Walter Brown responded, "I don't give a damn if he's striped, plaid, or polka dot! Boston takes Chuck Cooper of Duquesne!"
FIRST BLACK PLAYER TO SIGN A CONTRACT: Harold Hunter with the Washington Capitols on April 25, 1950; he was cut in training camp. Nat Clifton signed with the New York Knicks on May 24, 1950.
FIRST BLACK PLAYER TO PLAY IN A GAME: Earl Lloyd with the Washington Capitols (WSH opened their season on Oct. 31, 1950, one day before Chuck Cooper and four days before Nat Clifton); Cooper's debut with the Celtics was also the debut of Bob Cousy and coach Red Auerbach with the team.

Equalization and Spatial Equalization of Dummy Head Recordings for Loudspeaker Reproduction
Real-time spectrum analysis of simultaneous dummy head and soundfield recordings has been used to develop a set of equalization curves which greatly improves the loudspeaker compatibility of dummy head recordings. Low frequency L-R boost (shuffling) of about 10 dB at 40 Hz and overall equalization for a flat frequency response in the total energy of the recording are particularly important.

Donald Trump: "Extreme vetting" for French and Germans
Donald Trump says that people from France and Germany could face "extreme vetting" before entering the United States because their countries have been "compromised by terrorism." Trump also argued that France and Germany are to blame for the terrorism that is "compromising" them. "It's their own fault," he said. "They allowed people to come into their territory." Trump isn't wrong to blame immigration policy for the terrorism rocking France and »
Syrian refugee murders woman in Germany [Update: Suicide Bomber In Bavaria]
Today, a 21-year-old refugee from Syria killed a woman with a machete in southwestern Germany. Police apprehended the murderer after a motorist deliberately ran him over. The man previously had been charged with causing bodily harm in an incident the police declined to describe. The fatal attack on the woman does not appear to have been an act of terrorism. Police believe the act stemmed from "relationship difficulties" between the »
Another Day, Another Allahu Akbar
In southern Germany, a 17-year-old Afghan refugee pulled out a hatchet and a knife on a train and attacked his fellow passengers, wounding 19, three grievously. A teenage Afghan refugee shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before hacking at passengers during an axe and knife rampage on a train in Germany. … As many as 19 passengers needed hospital treatment while three victims are fighting for their lives after being attacked with 'cutting »
Team Clinton to Lynch: Maybe you can stay on as AG
Deep into this New York Times puff piece about the wonders of a hypothetical Hillary Clinton presidency, we learn that "Democrats close to Mrs. Clinton say she may decide to retain Ms. Lynch, the nation's first black woman to be attorney general, who took office in April 2015." Clearly, Team Clinton is dangling before Lynch the prospect of remaining attorney general provided, of course, that the Justice Department doesn't indict »
"Minnesota men" at play
This has become a familiar story out of Europe, but it is something new under the sun in Minneapolis. Although it is big news, I can't find any evidence of the story in the Star Tribune (please let me know if I missed it) — another element that gives the story a European dimension. Brett Hoffland warily reports for (KSTP TV) 5 Eyewitness News: Minneapolis police are investigating a series »
What's next for amnesty?
The Supreme Court's 4-4 decision in the executive amnesty case means that the lower court's ruling invalidating that amnesty is affirmed. Executive amnesty will not be granted while Obama is president. What happens after that? If Donald Trump is elected, presumably there will be no mass amnesty. Trump is unpredictable, but probably not unpredictable enough to do amnesty. In the more likely event that Hillary Clinton is elected, matters will »
Idaho U.S. Attorney: Spreading false information may violate federal law

Her full statement is here. I'll discuss the particular crime Olson referred to in a moment. You may have »
International Reaction to Brexit? Clueless
As Brexit reverberates around the Western world, it is fun to observe the almost universal myopia of liberal commentators. This is from Sweden: "Brexit, a sign of anti-elite revolt: analysts." So the analysts are starting to catch on. But they still have a ways to go: It was Britain's poorer and less-educated citizens — angry at not having shared in the economic benefits of a new world order — who »
A Penny for your thoughts
Here's the measured response of a British leftist, Laurie Penny, to the Brexit: So, here's the thing. This was never a referendum on the EU. It was a referendum on the modern world, and yesterday the frightened, parochial lizard-brain of Britain voted out, out, out, and today we've all woken up still strapped onto this ghost-train as it hurtles off the tracks. Voting against "the modern world"! Why, that's almost »

Divided Supreme Court upholds blockage of Obama's executive amnesty
By a 4-4 vote, the Supreme Court today let stand a lower court decision blocking President Obama's executive action that would have made roughly five million illegal immigrants eligible for legal status and work permits. This result kills Obama's executive amnesty, though because of the split vote, it might successfully be revived in the future. The Court rendered its decision succinctly. It just said: "The judgment is affirmed by an »
Is Europe doomed by migrants?
Douglas Murray is the author of the excellent NR article "Exit Britain?" and an associate editor of the Spectator (UK). In the NR article on Brexit Murray comments on Europe's current immigration crisis: A migrant flow had persisted across the Mediterranean for years, but it now became a flood. By the German government's own private figures, in 2015 alone around 1.5 million migrants, in addition to those visiting workers who »
Border Control vs. Gun Control
The Pulse night club massacre was the latest in a series of Islamic terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, quite a few of which have succeeded, while others have been foiled. These attacks have used a variety of weapons: box cutters, knives, pistols, pressure cookers and rifles. There is a sharp partisan divide with respect to how such terrorist attacks should be viewed. Republicans say that we should try harder to »
HuffPo Swings at Trump, Whiffs
Earlier today, the Huffington Post went after Donald Trump for wanting to suspend immigration by Muslims. Reporters Jennifer Bendery and Laura Barron-Lopez think that Trump's vow is somehow inconsistent with Republicans' criticisms of President Obama for acting unconstitutionally, at times, via executive order: House Republicans were outraged when President Barack Obama acted without their approval — in fact, despite their explicit opposition — on immigration. Now they have to contend »
Islamic law and the Orlando massacre [UPDATED]
As information regarding the terrorist who murdered dozens of people at a gay club in Orlando, Florida emerged, the question arose whether the attack was "ISIS inspired." But Andy McCarthy argues that "the inspiration for Muslims to brutalize and mass murder gay people does not come from ISIS; it is deeply rooted in Islamic law, affirmed by many of Islam's most renowned scholars." Before getting to the renowned scholars, it's »
Across the border
At the Washington Times Stephen Dinan has a timely scoop that highlights the national security implications of our porous border with Mexico. Dinan reports: A smuggling network has managed to sneak illegal immigrants from Middle Eastern terrorism hotbeds straight to the doorstep of the U.S., including helping one Afghan who authorities say was part of an attack plot in North America. Immigration officials have identified at least a dozen Middle »
Brexit: "An off ramp from the road to serfdom"
Next month, Great Britain will vote on whether to exit the European Union. One of the main arguments against a "Brexit" seems to be that Germany and company will punish Britain economically if it exits in order to deter other states from following or perhaps just out of spite. For some, though, this reality may be an argument in favor of leaving. Why remain attached, and cede more and more »

'
'From the pared-down user interface to the tight integration with Google to the strong camera performance, the G4 is a great phone... not to mention a very logical step forward from last year's G3. '
'The LG G4 improves on the three best features of its predecessor: design, screen, the camera - and does so decisively.'

I was interested in this one day bread that is reported to be a flavorful and beautiful direct ferment dough. I followed Shiao-Ping's formula precisely, even to the point of obtaining a bag of King Arthur flour. I figured if she can spring for it in Brisbane, I'll dig deep here where it's only 3 times the cost of my usual bread flour.
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the dough felt as it proceeded through the folding stages. It was a thing of beauty by the last stage. All of the times and temps were right on. I planned for a 72F dough temp and it stayed there all through the ferment. At 4-1/2 hours I shaped and let it rest on the counter as advised. I wanted to skip the banneton, the gluten was well developed and I think it would have stayed in shape for 45 minutes. Surprising for an 80% hydration dough.
Anyway I watched the proofing progress as advised and at 40 minutes it was right according to my floured digit. After a sloppy pineapple slash into the oven it went. Yes, a scant 1/4 Cup of water in the steam pan.
I have never baked a white flour loaf for an hour and was hoping it would look right. I read Shiao-Ping's note about how the author suggested up to 70 minutes but I wasn't that brave. 60 minutes of oven time, the last 50 being at 350F was my plan.
You can see the crust is nicely browned and not overly thick all around. I got a nice oven spring and the shape is about what I would expect. The crumb is reasonably open and has a nice chew.
For a short 4.5 hours of floor time this is a nice bread. It isn't the best direct bread I have eaten but it's very good considering the time it took to make it. I did think the crust was more chewy than crispy. Perhaps the additional 10 minutes in the oven would fix that.
I plan to make this again or rather the Sourdough/yeast version tomorrow. I'll probably add a little rye in the flour mix just to try to maximize the flavors. If the dough feels as good as it did today, I'll do a free style bake and proof in a couch cloth. I might split the dough and make a baguette also.
We are going to a dinner party Sunday with some friends who like to think they are well traveled. I want to take some baguettes that will make them beg for the source and then tease them with the name of a fictitious new bakery. It will drive them nuts for a while trying to find it. Lol I was planning on doing the Anis method but this is in the running.
So that's it. Thank you Shaio-Ping for your inspiration to try this formula and method.
I really like Norm's method of using re-hydrating dried onions. They tasted fabulous on the rolls. The dough was very stiff and tight when I removed it from the mixer for bulk fermentation, but when I went to shape it was amazingly light and easy to work with. I don't know why I expected the finished product to be bagel-like. These rolls are light, tender things with a mild onion and poppy seed flavor, and nothing like bagels! I couldn't help myself and gobbled one down before they were even cool. Thanks, Norm, for sharing this terrific recipe with us at TFL.
I think these rolls would also make great hamburger buns too either with or without the onions.
The original thread is here: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/normsonionrolls
Ready to proof
Out of the oven
Being eaten
My interpretation of Norm's formula and method:The onion mixtureRehydrate 1/3 cup dried, minced onions in about 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. When the onions have absorbed all the water that they can, drain them (I pressed them with a spoon when they were in the strainer to make sure I got most of the water out), and add a little salt (I added 1/2 teaspoon kosher), 1 tablespoon of canola oil (I forgot to add the oil so I just dapped a little on the top of each roll before baking them), and 2 teaspoons of poppy seeds to the mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use. Norms says that you have to used dried onions to get the authentic taste of these rolls.The roll dough21 g sugar7 g malt syrup (I used 14 g by accident because I was pouring from the bottle and it got away from me)7 g salt21 g egg, beaten21 g vegetable oil454 g bread flour227 g water7 g instant yeastPlace all ingredients in the bowl of your mixer and mix with the paddle until everything is incorporated, about 1 minute. Let dough rest 5 minutes to hydrate. Change paddle to dough hook and knead on speed 2 for 10 minutes until dough is quite smooth. Norm cautions that this is a very stiff dough and that you should keep an eye on your mixer so that you don't overheat it. I think this dough might knead very well in a food processor; of course it would probably only require a couple of minutes of kneading.Place dough in a bowl, cover and let rise until double, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.Gently deflate dough and cut into 2 to 4 ounce pieces (I used 3 ounce pieces for my rolls), form pieces into balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for about 10 minutes.Meanwhile, dump the onion mixture onto a lipped cookie sheet and spread it out.When the 10 minutes are up, pick up the relaxed dough balls, turn them over onto the onion mixture, and press them flat with the palm of your hand. You want to balls to be flattened to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.Place the rolls onion side up on a baking sheet, and preheat your oven to 450º.Cover the onion rolls lightly with plastic wrap and let fully proof, about 1 hour. Just before they are ready to go into the oven, press down in the center of each roll with your thumb to make an indentation.Bake for about 20 minutes on the middle oven rack until nicely brown and crisp, spritzing them with water once a minute during the first 5 minutes of baking and rotating the pan 180º after the first 10 minutes. Watch them closely near the end of the 20 minutes because they can burn fast--I caught mine just in time. (Next time I make these I might try 425º for 25 minutes.)Makes 9 three-ounce rolls
I could withstand the Leader's "Alpine Baguettes" and decided to give Hamelman's "5-grain levain" a try. I thought that there can't be anything wrong with a bread that Hamelman himself describes as "one of the most delectable breads".
It's made of whole-wheat flour, bread and high gluten flour, and it includes a soaker (sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chopped rye and oats.) In my case it includes as well some sesame seeds as I was running low on sunflower seeds and had to substitute some of them trough sesame. The fermentation process is speeded up by a little addition of yeast. I can't get high-gluten flour here in Switzerland, therefore I added 12 grams of Vital Wheat Gluten to the flour.
While I was letting the dough ferment for the first time, I was thinking about how I should shape this batch of bread. I felt a little bit bored by my "standard shape", the round loaf baked in the iron pot. I remembered the special Couronne shaping that I discovered a long time ago on wildyeastblog.com and that I had on my to-do-list for a long time. So I gave it a try. Thank you Susan, You're a great inspiration to me and your directions are clear and easy to follow, thanks for that!
Well, my Couronne doesn't exactly look as perfect as Susan's. It's a little bit out of shape because my "proofing banneton" was probably a little to big, so the balls didn't form a tight unit and moved around when I slided them into the oven.
That's the way I constructed my "banneton", inspired by Susan's description. I used the lid of my scouting cooking pot and a newspaper-ball. (I'm sorry for the bad image quality, all the good cameras are out today and I had to use my old camera, bought in 2002.) I covered this "banneton" with a well floured towel to prevent dough from sticking.
I had about 1.1 kg of dough alltogether, so I used 750 grams as recommended for the Couronne and made a small boule out of the rest.
To shape a couronne like the one above, divide the 750 grams of dough into six pieces of 100 and one piece of 150 grams. Shape the pieces into balls and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Roll the 150 gram - ball into a flat disk, about 15 cm wide. Place it over the newspaper ball, then arrange the other six balls seamside up around it. Then you have to cut a "star" into the flat doughpiece in the mittle with a sharp knife (look below or read Susan's instructions) and fold the "star-edges" over the balls.
Then let it proof as usual (cover it with a towel while proofing) and bake as you'd bake your recipe normally, maybe slightly shorter, because this shape is not as compact as a normal boule or batard.
I just tried two slices of the small boule - I planned on giving the couronne away, but now the person who was supposed to receive it isn't at home, therefore I put it into the freeze and I'll have it another time when more people are around. Right now, I'm not able to eat 750 grams of bread on my ownin a reasonable time. (as I said, everybody's gone, like the cameras . . .) I'm better off with 300 grams . . .
The flavor of the 5-grain levain is very good, as far as I can say right now. The bread is still somewhat warm. Nearly every bread tastes great while it's still warm. But I'm optimistic that the bread will taste great tomorrow for breakfast, as well.
I'm planning on baking this one again. Not only because it seems to be a tasty bread, but because I've got the feeling that I could simply do better. It was a hot day today, so the fermenting and proofing was difficult to get right, especially because the dough turned out to warm as well.
I'm sure that I'll shape Couronnes again. But then I'll probably scale the "banneton" a little bit down. The newspaperball more like 9 and the "pot lid" around 23 cm in diameter.
This was the most difficult formula I've encountered. I'm somewhat discouraged by the outcomes of my breads. Even though I've tried it twice, I still didn't get that confident feeling I normally have with my dough.
In this trial, I used all the 10% rye flour to make a water roux starter. The reason that prompted me to use a roux starter was that, even though at a lower % of rye (10%) flour than my 090602 sourdough rye (20%) bread , the dough in my first trial of this formula , at which I used KA organic AP flour and no rye roux, turned out to be much messier and the crumb was very gummy. Without going through the heating process of making a roux starter, the amylases, which contribute to the gumminess in rye dough, remain actively alive. The combination of lower gluten flour (AP) and the presence of lively amylases, I believe, was the culprit to the failure of my first attempt.
In my second experiment, in addition to the rye roux starter, I also sustituted AP with bread flour. I made baguette and batard so that I could practice different forms of scoring. The crust was very crackly and the taste was good. However, I did not get as much oven spring as I'd hoped for. Well, I can always give it another try. We'll see.
I wanted to see if James MacGuire's Pain de Tradition procedure would improve my San Francisco Sourdough. My formula is as follows:
220 g San Francisco starter @75% hydration (ie, 126 g white bread flour and 94 g water)
374 g white bread flour
306 g water
10 g salt
2 g instant dry yeast
(ie, total flour is 500 g and total water is 400 g)
(left) SF starter with some water to loosen it up first
(center) mix in all remaining recipe water
(right) combine all ingredients
After which I followed James MacGuire's pain de tradition procedure as in my earlier post. And, here is what I've got:
San Francisco Sourdough Bread using James MacGuire's pain de tradition procedure
The crumb
I went a bit heavy handed, dusting too much flour on the banneton before I put the shaped dough in. James specifically advises against it because too much flour will hinder browning and crispness. Other than that, I am very pleased with the result. Essentially this is the same as the white Pain de Tradition with an extra depth in flavor - due to the San Francisco sourdough starter. With the help of a little yeast, the crumb opens up so well.
Not sure if I can call this boule a genuine sourdough, but, the heavily floured crust notwithstanding, it is a great bread that my family enjoyed. My husband said to me, "I don't think that I've ever had bread that good; it's the simplicity of the flavor ...." He said, "I don't know if I'll mature into rye and other grains but ... the intensive flavor of this one is just bloody sensational!" Sometimes I'm not sure if I would ever be accustomed to Aussie lingo.
This is my attempt at this lovely bread posted by Shiao-Ping. I did a long write-up but just deleted it and would like to say..My loaf leaves a lot to be desired...but the 'Flavor is amazingly delicious' I couldn't believe how lovely, creamy, smooth and flavorful this bread tastes..the flavors that developed over the long fermentation are delicious...my crust did soften somewhat and I don't think as crispy as it should be.. I think my next attempt I may adjust my flour so there is a little less hydration. My dough stuck on part of the banneton when I was putting it onto the board..but I don't think it did to much harm.
My lighting is pretty bad in my dark kitchen tonight!
This bread is fast becoming a favorite with us.
I won't have a crumb shot for these, because they are both marked for neighborhood dinner parties. Although I've not been disappointed in past bakes,I got more ovenspiring with these two loaves, baked individually, then ever before. The past three times I've baked this formula I've retarded the dough overnight. This time I scheduled the formula-ready levain to peak early in the morning, and proceeded from there to make the dough, autolyse, bulk ferment, shape, and proof. I proofed the left-hand loaf at room temperature, and retarded the final proof of the right hand loaf at 55*F. I did this only to bake the loaves individually. They are different weights (left:750g, right:1000g). I like to use a different temperature schedule for the each: 480*F for 10 mins. with steam for both; finish baking the smaller at 450*F, and the larger at 440*F. Both loaves had excellent oven spring, but the smaller, room temperature proofed loaf had the most.

As I had such a lovely result from my last Pain de Tradition using white flour, I thought I'd give it a try with whole-wheat flour. James said to make a miche de campagne, substitute 15% whole-wheat or up to 10% medium rye for part of the white flour, so my 100% whole-wheat version isn't conventional.
100% Whole-Wheat Miche de Campagne - James MacGuire's Pain de Tradition formula
The crumb
There is one major difference in the procedure from my previous one. I retarded the shaped dough overnight, for 8 hours, and then let it come back to room temperature for an hour and a half before it's loaded to oven to bake. The whole process seems to be long but is not at all cumbersome for a housewife - there are always a million things to be done in the kitchen and around the house any way.
The result is very pleasing for me. I think the high hydration dough loves to sing, I could hear it crackling even 5 meters away. It has a very strong nutty and wheaty aroma. The crust is very crispy and the crumb is lovely. So often wholemeal bread is dense and heavy, but this high hydration pain de tradition formula makes this 100% wholemeal bread light and delightful to have. I will have no trouble at all getting my son to have a piece of this. Done!
Hello, am a novice bread maker and need some help with my second proofing for challah. I'm fine until I proof for second time on a baking stone. With braided dough it rises not only up but all over the stone. Of course this doesn't happen when it's confined in a loaf pan. How do I keep the dough from blobbing all over the place when it's not in the loaf pan? The bread tastes good but is generally splayed out not very high. Need Help to keep the blob from taking over my oven!! Thanks. Shalamis
Many TFL users would recognise Mr James J. MacGuire's name as he is the technical editor for Prof. Raymond Calvel's "The Taste of Bread." In a 10 page article entitled, "The Baguette" in the Winter 2006 issue of Mr Edward Behr's quarterly magazine "The Art of Eating," ie. No 73+74 issue, Mr MacGuire's message about a good French traditional bread is very clear: slow & gentle mixing with autolyse, long fermentation, and high hydration.
A 4-page formula follows The Baguette article in the same issue and is entitled "A Full-Flavored, Minimum-Kneading, All-Included Recipe for a Round Loaf with Many of the Advantages of the Baguette." This is an old-style straight-dough formula which is superhydrated and can also be used for baguette. My understanding from reading the article is that the method in the formula is like that applied in Prof. Calvel's younger days. I made my bread using Mr MacGuire's formula in the magazine and I called it "James J MacGuire's Pain de Tradition" which may not be entirely accurate but it is how I understood it to be. I would strongly encourage any one who is interested in Mr MacGuire's detailed formula to have a look at his well-written article in the Art of Eating magazine. As a home baker, I can finally say that I have found a method that I can rely upon with consistent result, and I thank Mr MacGuire for making the formula available to home bakers as well as Mr Behr's for publishing such a quality magazine.
As Mr MacGuire says in Prof. Calvel's "The Taste of Bread" that bakers have always been known for their desire to form friendships and for their willingness to share, to me no sharing is as useful as pointing to the right direction. I first learnt about the MacGuire's article through the Q & A with Daniel T. DiMuzio when Floyd and Eric interviewed Mr DiMuzio back in May this year. If Mr DiMuzioh had not mentioned about it, I would not have known about Mr MacGuire's recipe.
The following is the bread that I made based on Mr MacGuire's formula:
When it came out of the oven, it sang for the best part of 6 to 7 minutes. There was a very strong nutty aroma in the crust. The crumb was a beautiful creamy color; it's light and delicate to taste.

Superiore alle aspettativePosted May 21, 2016
Pros: La gentilezza del personale, oltre che lo stile di Stark. Bellissimo l'ascensore "infinito"...
Cons: L'ingresso al primo piano, un pò tortuoso e l'insonorizzazione delle camere del primo piano che danno sulla corte interna: rumorose fino alle 00:01
Location: Vicino a Piccadilly Circus, China Town, e passeggiando arrivi comodamente a Bukingham Palace... Comunque servizi di trasporto funzionali.
A due passi da...tutto. Ideale per persone "giovanili" ma non più giovanissime. Fashion, design, stile. Anche se abbastanza scontato per chi conosce i lavori di Philippe Stark.

An Unexpectedly Joyful Holiday
An Unexpectedly Joyful Holiday
She thought she was stuck at her job on Easter, but she really was blessed.
I couldn't have been in a worse mood. I glared at myself in the full-length mirror in my bedroom. Black suit, sensible shoes, conservative necklace. Blah! I should have been in my Easter best. After all, it was Easter. But I had to work.
"We'll make a big dinner next weekend when you're off," my husband, John, said, poking his head into the bedroom.
I shook my head. "It won't be the same." My eyes lingered on the pretty blue dress hanging in the closet. I'd worn it to church that morning and that was that. It hardly seemed worth the expense.
I'd bought it with the idea that we'd be driving to Virginia for the holiday, spending the week with John's family. The perfect occasion to catch up with his mother, sisters and brother. Neither John nor I have any family nearby. We'd both looked forward to the trip for months.
But there'd been a last-minute scheduling problem at the long-term addiction-treatment center where I work and I was stuck with the Easter Sunday shift. We'd had to ditch our plans.
I forced a smile and kissed John goodbye. Duty called.
Usually I pray or focus on positive thoughts during my commute. Not today. I thought about our church service that morning.
Sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows. The choir belting out alleluias. Bell-shaped white lilies overflowing the altar, perfuming the air. Families decked out in their new spring outfits packed into the pews. Everyone smiling. The gospel message–so full of joy!
All I'd felt was resentment. Everyone else would be going home to family, a delicious feast, Easter-egg hunts in the backyard. The whole point of holidays was to get away from work and spend time with loved ones. To make memories meant to be cherished. I was going to miss out on all of that.
I drove through the entrance of the treatment center and took a deep breath, pushing my feelings down inside me. Our students, as we call the residents, are very sensitive to emotions. It's important for the staff to stay even-keeled.
No matter what I'm going through in my own life, at work I do my best to project an aura of calmness.
Students stay at the rehab for months and never leave the campus. Holidays are especially difficult for them. Relax, I warned myself.
I parked the car and walked to my office. Sandy, a coworker, was at the coffeepot. "You know, we don't even get overtime for working today," she said. "It's not one of our holidays." Great.
In fact, everyone seemed on edge. Students complained that there weren't any chocolate Easter bunnies. They argued with one another, and fought over the TV remote. It seemed I was constantly reminding them of the behavior that was expected of them.
Finally it was time for dinner, a meal shared by staff and students. I stared down at the piece of pork on my plate, a pool of scalloped potatoes next to it. Our chef is creative, but I couldn't help but think about my sister-in-law Liz's mouth-watering honey-glazed ham, which I could have been eating.
And paper napkins? My other sister-inlaw, Andrea, sets a color-coordinated table right out of House Beautiful . The dessert I was eating, coconut-flavored pie, was definitely not homemade. Not like the lemon ring cookies I bake for Easter every year.
I imagined all of my husband's family around their table, laughing, leaning back in their chairs and telling stories. I never tired of them. My mother-in-law had at least one funny childhood story about everyone.
And poor John, home alone, eating…what…leftovers? Pizza? A bell rang, signaling the end of the meal. At last. Only four more hours to go. Lord, I really need an attitude adjustment, I thought. This should be your day of glory, not my day of pity.

Behind The 'Amnesty' Fight Between Trump And Cruz
CREDIT: P Photo/Chuck Burton
KEENE, NH — On the campaign trail in both Iowa and New Hampshire — states thousands of miles from Mexico — Ted Cruz loves to talk about the border.
He repeats in his standard speech, town after town, that he will "finally secure the borders and end sanctuary cities." It's a big applause line for the conservatives of both states who support Cruz because of his tough stance on immigration.
But Donald Trump, who has recently escalated his attacks on Cruz, is accusing his closest competitor of not being tough enough.
Trump released an ad on Friday calling Cruz "pro-amnesty," or in favor of allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States unpunished. Cruz fired back, saying in an interview that Trump's immigration plan is the one that amounts to amnesty.
The constant back and forth on immigration has put the issue at the forefront of voters' minds. New Hampshire voters told ThinkProgress they support Cruz chiefly because of his willingness to crack down on undocumented immigrants.
Gary Chandler, a Swanzey, NH resident who came to a Cruz meet and greet at a local diner on Monday, said immigration is the "number one issue" he and his wife are concerned about this election.
"I just feel it's ruined the country because they're coming in, taking SSDI, taking a lot of benefits from people who have paid into the system," he said about undocumented immigrants. "There's not as many people working and the ratio just keeps coming less and less."
But undocumented immigrants actually pay into the system because those who work or have qualified for President Obama's executive actions contribute Social Security taxes but receive no benefits in return. Studies have also shown that immigrants actually create jobs for American workers — each new immigrant has produced about 1.2 new jobs in the U.S.
George Quill, a 17-year-old student who attended the event in Keene, also pointed to Cruz's immigration policies as the reason he supports the candidate.
"He's for taking a harder stance on the illegal immigrants that we have, and I'm on board with him on that," he said. "I think that if they're not here legally, then they shouldn't be here at all."
Quill conceded that he doesn't have much experience with undocumented immigrants in New Hampshire — a state with a small immigrant population — but said the issue is still important to him.
"It affects the country as a whole since Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials released a statement saying that 60 percent of illegal immigrants do have criminal priors in Mexico, so I think it affects the country as a whole," he said, citing false statistics about the criminal records of immigrants detained by ICE.
Not everyone Cruz meets on the campaign trail is completely on board with his harsh immigration policies. In Plymouth, NH, a family of Cuban American voters attended Cruz's meet and greet. Though Carolina Marquez-Sterling said she supports the senator, she told ThinkProgress that immigration is "not one of my favorite topics."
"It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm Cuban," she said. "It has to do with the fact that these people are here and we have to figure out a way that's humane in how to deal with it. I don't like that they're here and they broke our laws. They are illegal and I don't have any problem calling them illegal because that's what they are."
The Cruz and Trump debate over who supports undocumented immigration has been ongoing for weeks, although it has escalated in the days ahead of the Iowa caucuses. Despite what they may say in their attacks, neither candidate's immigration policies come even close to granting amnesty.
And in some respects, Cruz's immigration proposals are even more extreme than those of Trump, a man who has said that Mexican immigrants are rapists, criminals, and drug dealers and who has declared that Mexico will pay for the construction of a border wall.
While Trump has said he would deport all undocumented immigrants but allow the "really good people" to move back to the United States, Cruz has said that he would support deporting the country's 11.3 million undocumented immigrants without ever giving them a chance to come back to the country. And Cruz wouldn't just build the border wall with Mexico that Trump has promised — he would also hire Trump to do it.

* Lawmakers say slow pace could hurt US LNG export projects
* DOE urged to consider multiple applications at a time
* Critics warn more exports could boost U.S. gas prices
By Ayesha Rascoe
WASHINGTON, July 10 A bipartisan group of U.S. senators on Wednesday called on the Energy Department to speed up its planned review process for proposals to ship U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) abroad.
"We are concerned that the timeline for considering these applications may jeopardize our ability to retain a competitive position against other natural gas exporting nations," more than two dozen lawmakers, including top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell, said in a letter to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
The Energy Department, which recently approved an LNG export proposal, has signaled it may take about eight weeks to review each of 20 other proposals. The senators warned that the United States could lose out to international competition in the LNG market if the department does not hasten that pace.
Led by Republican Jim Inhofe, of Oklahoma, and Democrat Mark Begich, of Alaska, the lawmakers asked the department whether it would consider evaluating multiple applications at a time and prioritizing projects that have established they are "commercially viable."
The U.S. shale boom has put the nation in a position to be a major gas exporter. But some lawmakers including Senator-elect Edward Markey of Massachusetts have warned that unlimited exports could raise U.S. energy prices for manufacturers and consumers.
After a pause of nearly two years in decisions on LNG exports, the department approved Freeport LNG's Quintana Island, Texas terminal in May. Its eight-week review process could mean imminent action on the next application, BG Group and Southern Union Company's Lake Charles project.
But with 20 projects in line for permission to send U.S. gas to foreign countries, the lawmakers said waiting two months between project decisions would push the ruling on the final project out to two years from now.
Secretary Moniz has repeatedly said the department plans to consider applications on a case by case basis and said he does not plan to reconsider the queue it set up in December, which gives preference to projects that have filed for a license from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Amateur Radio Emergency Service®
Eastern New York Section
David Galletly KM2O
Section Emergency Coordinator
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment, with their local ARES leadership, for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes. Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL or any other local or national organization is eligible to apply for membership in ARES. Training may be required or desired to participate fully in ARES. Please inquire at the local level for specific information. Because ARES is an Amateur Radio program, only licensed radio amateurs are eligible for membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.
Additional signup help is in the Registration System Member Manual
The PowerPoint file of the April 30 Section ARES meeting with links to video and documents discussed is now posted here.
A new and updated Cooperative Agreement has been executed by the American Red Cross Eastern New York Region and Eastern New York Section ARES. The agreement, under the terms of the new ARC/ARRL Memorandum of Understanding, was signed by ARC Regional Disaster Officer David Kunzelman and ENY ARES Section Emergency Coordinator David Galletly KM2O and takes effect immediately. ARRL HQ staff reviewed and approved the document prior to its execution. The existing Cooperative Agreement was rendered outdated by a reorganization of ARC Region boundaries as well as a rotation of ARC personnel. This agreement covers groups in the Northern and Central Districts of the ENY Section. A separate agreement will be needed for the Southern District with the Metro New York North Chapter of the Greater New York Region of the ARC. We hope to have news on this in the near future. The agreement is archived below.Many thanks to David Kunzelman and Julianne Ersfeld, ARC Direct Services Program Manager for their help in getting this done. We look forward to continuing our relationship. de KM2O ENY SEC
National SET information and scoring is at the ARRL Field Service Forms site. EC's should file a Form A with ARRL HQ as well as the section score. This is worth 20 additional points this year.
