As the elderly grandfather in Moonstruck exclaimed "I'm so confused" pretty much sums up how I feel right now about sourdough starters and levain....
The heart of the question is, what really is levain? I have read many comments through-out this site that claim starter and levain is the same thing.
If that is the case, then can someone explain a recipe that calls for levain (1:3:4 - S:W:F) 100 gms or 20%?????
Assuming "S" stands for starter (therby starter and levain are different) W = water and F = flour... the weight for each would be 12.5 gms of S, 37.5 gms of W, and 50 gms of flour. What do I do next if my assumption is correct? Do I mix the levain and let it ferment? if so fo how long? or do I mix it straight into the dough upon mixing? I don't know the answer to this and I'm having a hard time finding the answer.
I love this site, lots of great info and really skilled bakers. I hope someone can clear this up for me.

This morning I baked a variation of Anis Bouabsa baguettes. The changes are minor: 72% hydration vs. 75%; I bulk fermented the dough at 55°F vs. 41°F for the prescribed 21 hours; and I added distatic malt powder. Otherwise, my formula and applied techniques were essentially the same as those in the Anis Bouabsa's Baguettes thread. The changes were made for the following reasons. I don't trust my skills yet with a 75% hydration dough. I'm sneaking up on it. Over the weekend I made a 70% hydration sourdough (or pain au levain), and today's baguettes. Furthermore, my refrigerator maintains a 37°F temperature on the only shelf that will hold my bulk proofing container, and I was concerned that temperature would severely change the yeast's reproduction rate. (That's not a guess, I've got an erudite paper written by a couple of microbiologists on the subject of yeast reproduction rate vs. temperature as a reference.). I have the convenience of a wine closet--its too small to call it a wine cellar--that maintains a steady 55°F. Lastly, I added the diastatic malt powder to give the yeast all the edge available.
However, messing with the hydrations of these doughs got me thinking. If I changed the shape I could pass this bread off as a ciabatta, or a foccacia, or a pain rustique, and no one would challenge me: perhaps criticise, but not challenge what I called it. On the other hand, if I offered the pain au levain, to a reasonably knowledgeable eater, as a slice of boule, or batard they'd raise an eyebrow at least.
So what classifies a dough? Content (Ingredients)? Preferments? Shape? Weight? All of the above? All of the above, but not necessarily everytime?
My curiosity grew when I checked three published baguette formulae (DiMuzio, Hamelman, and Hines), and two for pain au levain (DiMuzio, Hamelman). Their doughs' hydrations are within 2% percent of each other, as well as similar ingredients, percentages, and techniques. "Is there a "secret" crib sheet these guys aren't sharing with us?" I wondered. Yet I was baking a baguette dough that was essentially a straight dough, with hydration 9% pecentage points higher than prescribed by "common practice", using atypical techniques. Is Anis Bouabsa a rogue baker?
My interest in things that ferment isn't limited to bread baking. I also brew beer, and make wine. Among brewers there is a crib-sheet. It contains approximately two-dozen beers, and describes each of them by the same attributes which are defined both in scientific precision, e.g., specific gravity, International Bittering Units (IBU's); Lovibond (color) rating; and in subjective terms of taste, smell, and appearance. If there are specialty additives or techniques they are also described, e.g., lambics (a beer made sour by lactobacteria). Wines, of course, are mostly defined by their primary varietal (or mixtures of varietals) ocassionally by craft processes, e.g., malolacticfermentation, ice wines; and a subjective vocabulary codified by a Univerity of California at Davis, professor.
Does anyone know if bread types have been classified, or catergorized and written down, and where is it written? How are bread-baking competitions judged? What are the competitive rules, i.e., do they contain de facto categorical or classifying ingredients, technniques, etc.?

My bread - peasant bread gets beautfully brown outside, but heavy and somewhat doughy inside. Help?
Thiézac, a village 30 km from Aurillac (260 km north-east of Toulouse, France) has a reputation of pure rye bread. Just the sound of it is beautiful to me. When I read about it in Mouette Barboff's Pains d'hier et d'aujourd'hui (page 64 - 67), I felt that had to try it. I am mesmerized by the rye bread photo and crumb shot in the book, full of soul. The book has the most beautiful bread photos I have seen anywhere.
What struck me about the crumb of the Thiézac pure rye sourdough bread is its deep caramelized color. A forum post by Danubian at Sourdough Companion, entitled "Dark" or "Black" colour to rye bread in June 2007 says that the dark rye bread "colour is achieved by method rather than adding an ingredient that imparts 'colour'."
I had to consult several on-line French translators to get some sense out of the Thiézac recipe and even then I still have puzzles. For instance, about "5 à 6 kg de levain de 3 jours," to build up the levain over 3 days to 5 - 6 kg? I guess so; but how many feedings a day, and, more importantly, what is the flour to water ratio for refreshing the starter? And, stand the levain at room temperature for the whole time?
There is a knowledge bank at TFL regarding rye sour and rye flour in general, but I am really not interested enough on the subject to study. My family and myself are not rye enthusiasts. But anything "pure," as in the case here, I am all for it. A pure rye bread makes me want to try it and ... dream about it.
So, here it is... the result of my dream:
Now, I have to warn you that my result is quite different from what was in Mouette Barboff's book that inspired me. For a start, from what I can ascertain accurately from the formula figures, the overall dough hydration in the Thiézac recipe is only 53%! I cannot work on a dough with that hydration! I kept adding water until a medium soft consistency was obtained and reached 76% hydration. Further, the Thiézac rye bread has diamond scoring (3 cut on one direction and another 3 cut on another direction). My dough was too wet to attempt at any scoring.
This bread is sour, too sour for my family. Because of the whole rye flour used, it also has a very nutty flavour. The aroma is simply amazing when it came out of the oven.
My crumb looked similar to the one in the book. To my way of thinking, if I had done the dough at 53% hydration, the crumb would have been much denser. I can only surmise that the village bakers' formula is only a guide - they would add water on the spot if they think the dough needs more water irrespective of the formula. But I don't know for sure.
Well, as nice as the bread is, my family is not the slightest interested in it.
I have to pile up with something else that they like for them to eat it. And here it is:
Smoke Salmon & Salad with a Dill Sour Cream Spread on Pure Rye Bread
For any one who is interested, my formula of this rye sourdough follows:
Day 1
Mix and leave it in room temperature until doubled, then move it into the refrigerator.
Day 2
Procedure same as Day 1.
Day 3
Mix and leave in room temperature for 6 hours or until it doubles. (Note: I cut short one day here. The Thiézac recipe does this 6 hour feeding one day 4; ie, using "levain de 3 jours.")
Final Dough
Total dough weight was 1842 g and the overall hydration was 76%.
I was inspired by a Banana bread featured on farine-mc.com (link: http://www.farine-mc.com/search/label/Banana). This lady makes loaves that are works of art!
This humble loaf is a single recipe of Rose Levy Beranbaum's Banana Feather Bread, and when I slashed the top I tried a slight, reversed S-curve - to see what might happen.I thought the result looked kind of like a banana!
We are looking forward to toasting and tasting.
Regards, breadsong
Jason's Coccodrillo Ciabatta just can't be beat! Especially when you need a loaf and you haven't planned a bake day (i.e. nothing is bubbling on the counter). I've made this so many times and just love how it comes out. After a few practice loaves, it becomes foolproof. If I don't see structure begin to take form at 10 minutes in the mixer I begin adding flour about 1 tsp at a time (being in Denver, I sometimes over-hydrate). The longest I've ever mixed is about 16 minutes. This is the first time I made the semolina version...fabulous! My bulk ferment (to triple) was about 3.25 hours. I needed to make this loaf for my elderly folks today...it was great being able to whip up a loaf relatively fast, that is delish. Who is Jason, anyway? Does he know how famous this bread has become?
Jason's Ciabatta Page
Note the "Alton Brown Rubber Band Method" for measuring fermentation growth. It's not tripled yet....
And it's delicious! The recipe is 100 Percent Whole Rye from Bread Alone.
Mini Oven gave me her Austrian stamp of approval and tells me it will be truly ready to eat in a couple of days. Thanks for looking, and Happy New Year to All!
Back to work today after a wonderful vacation. I started with the usual poolish last night but for today I wanted a slow rising dough that I could leave all day. I used the usual KAF recipe for baguettes but added a total of 1 tsp yeast including the poolish and half of the salt. This is what I found when I got home 7 hrs later:
Luckily my husband was able to fold it for me mid-day :) I formed two small boules and baked them on a stone with steam. Yummy!
I was watching these beauties actively springing in the oven when I realized that I forgot to add the salt! No wonder they were so active. I used my pizza stone for the first time and got beautiful, crunchy crusts. In leu of a peal I sprinkled corn meal on pieces of parchment paper and slid them onto the stone which was already in the oven. It worked like a charm! I steamed the oven with about a cup of water which was poured into a hot roasting pan on the bottom. Look at that bubble!
They smell wonderful and actually don't taste that bad. I wouldn't say cardboard but just a little flat. Great with salted butter!
I think for my next batch I will do half the salt and see what happens. My current recipe calls for two teaspoons so I will try one and see if they look like this. More tomorrow, thanks for reading. Molly
Over the holidays my husband has been trying to increase his carbon footprint by leaps and bounds. This time of year is quiet for us, we own an A/C and heating company in Texas. So summers are crazy and winters allow us some time to play. Our big new toy has been the wood fire oven. I didn't realize how into cooking in it my husband would become. I swear he has decimated the chicken population around here in recent weeks and I have made more bread than I could really give away. I am waiting for my neighbors to not look me in the eye and try to run whenever they see me coming with anything in my arms. I actually had one guy down the street, who I have never met really, almost turn down a chicken from us. I guess I would be suspicious of someone handing out chickens I didn't know. As you can see, I am getting desperate for takers. Last night as I was trying to get ride of 3 of the 6 loaves we baked yesterday, which is what I got on here to write about in the first place, I gave them to friends of our neighbors who just happened to be leaving the neighbors house when I walked out the door. Don't know them either. It was rather funny. I asked them if they would like a loaf of bread. One of the guys replies, "Umm, we have a loaf at home thank you." I told him it was homemade and baked in a wood fire oven and he gave in. I didn't wait to hear what the second guy had to say, I just shoved the bread in his hands and knocked on the neighbor's door. I am sure people are somewhere thinking I am very strange indeed. So I need to find a soup kitchen or something to donate bread to. That is one of the things I would like to do this year is give more. So if anyone knows where to find places to donate bread I am open to ideas.
But back to reason for this entry. Kyle, my husband, decided the other night he wanted to make the bread. From start to finish all by himself. So I asked what kind he wanted. He wanted a light rye hearth bread. So thanks to Hamelman and DiMuzio, I got out a calculator and made up a formula for a 20% rye, 40% preferment, 65% hydration dough. In hind sight I should have gone to 68% to get a little bigger holes but I didn't want the dough to be too slack for my begninner husband who would have to mix the dough by hand. The DLX is too small for 6 loaves. So Kyle ground the rye, made the poolish, learned the french fold, and stretch and fold. Where would I have been with out all the excellent videos I have found from this site? I would ahve been in trouble indeed! I weighed out all the ingredients and helped with shaping and such, but Kyle did the bulk of the work by himself. I even tried hard not to hover! The dough turned out really nice. I thought he did an excellent job for his first rodeo so to speak. But there are 2 big tricks with baking in a WFO. The first is timing. It is hard to get the loaves and the oven ready at the same time. Lucky for us it has been about 50 deg here so I put the loaves in the garage to retard/proof while the oven temp gets in range. The second trick is loading the bread. I realized I needed a narrow peel. Since Kyle is an avid fisherman he suggested buying a oar and sanding the varnish off. It works like a champ!! I would have never thought of it. But it is hard to get all the loaves in and spaced correctly. So below are some pictures. One is the oar, sanded and oiled. One is of the Counrty Rye oaves we made yesterday. And we will see if I find any other ones to put in.
My next experiment is going to be with different grains. I recently purchased 50lbs of spelt berries, 50lbs or durum berries and 50lbs of hard white spring wheat. So I would like to come up with a formula and do a test and see the differences in flavor and behavior. I am thinking of doing about 50% whole grain and 50% AP flour. I will let you know how that goes.
The Oar- or new Peel
The loaves in the oven...nicely spaced if I may say so myself. Or atleast better than before! :)
Lastly, the crumb..

Allan Ray:
Great news for those of us who picked Nova to win it all: VU's 2nd-leading scorer cleared to play in Friday's game vs. 64/65 winner.
The Lead Item
Two Words For You:
Conventional wisdom
is emerging about the NCAA Tournament bracket. Here's some analysis of what is bubbling to the top:
Duke, UConn, Nova rule:
There's a heavy consensus that these three No. 1 seeds will all advance to the Final Four. Meanwhile...
Everyone hates Memphis:
Most fans see Memphis (which wasn't even in the tournament last year) as the most vulnerable No. 1 seed. There are arguably four other teams in their own region that could beat them.
(I wish I were bold enough
to follow through on my gut instinct that Memphis will lose to 16th-seeded Oral Roberts in the first round. Hmm: There's still time to update my bracket. Hint: Check back tomorrow.)
The West's trendy pick? UCLA.
I'd say "Beware the sexy pick!" but I myself have UCLA winning the region. (If you are scared of "trendy," there's the populist pick to win the West: Gonzaga.)
Tennessee is overrated:
Most fans can't understand how the Vols ended up with a 2-seed. Hard to see them getting by UNC or Michigan St. in the Sweet 16 (if UT even gets that far).
BC is underrated:
Fans watched the way BC showed no fear of Duke in the ACC tournament title game; noted their Big East experience as an antidote to Nova's grittiness; and eyed that weak other side of the region.
Top "16" sleeper: Milwaukee
Fans seem to like 11th-seeded UWM's Sweet 16 experience; a first-round date with overrated Oklahoma; and a potential second-round game with inconsistent Florida.
Watch the "National Bracket":
Consult the "consensus" bracket that aggregates the picks of everyone in ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge; it outperformed 90 percent of individual entries last year.
For a complete analysis
of all things NCAA Tournament, check out the special-edition
Tourney Quickie.
"Play-In" Madness
Love the NCAA "Play-In" game:
The best part is that it doesn't even register on pools. It's simply "Winner of Monmouth-Hampton."
Who is the fan who complains, "But if I
got that extra point from picking Monmouth over Hampton, I'd win my pool!"
Sure, the game doesn't exactly spark chills, but consider this: It's the only NCAA game you've got to watch Tuesday night (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET). More fans will have access to
game than Thursday's 5:10 p.m. ET game between UCLA and Belmont.
Meanwhile, is anyone else confused? If Duke is the top overall No. 1 seed, why aren't the Blue Devils playing the winner of the 64-65 game?
Ripping Mid-Majors
As fashionable as it was
in February to give the mid-majors some love, now it's trendy to rip them. As if it's Bradley's fault that Cincinnati or Michigan spit the bit last week.
I think one point is worth clarifying:
If the mid-major teams lose in the first round, that is
an indictment of their selection as at-large teams. That would be as foolish as saying Kansas or Syracuse were unworthy of selection in 2005 because they lost to Bucknell and Vermont in the first round.
If you swapped Cincy, Michigan or any other big-league snub for Bradley, Air Force or George Mason, most pool sheets would have
losing, too.
They can gripe about who got taken instead of them, but the fact remains: If they had taken care of their own business, they wouldn't have been in this position.
T.O.: To be released today. How many suitors will he have?
Chris Kaman: 24 pts, 23 reb, 4 stl in Clips' 4th W in row
Chris Carpenter: '05 NL Cy hasn't allowed a run this spring
Fidel Castro: Jeered by fans at WBC's DR-Cuba game in P.R.
Gary Walker: Texans waive team lifer/two-time Pro Bowl DE
Jaret Wright: Allows 8R in 3 IP; spring ERA: 12.91. Yikes!
What are we talking about here, really? Quibbling about one-and-done teams? All other factors basically equal, giving mid-majors an extra shot over yet another big-league team is in the best interest of the sport.
(Meanwhile, kudos to Craig Littlepage, selection committee chair, for ripping his critics for not knowing their stuff. Although, he, too, could have come armed for Sunday's fight with a few more stats. But it was an ambush.)
Women's Madness
You don't have to follow
women's college hoops
closely to understand the concept "Toughest Women's Bracket Region Ever."
That's the key reaction
after top-ranked UNC was paired with Tennessee as the No. 2 team in the Cleveland region. "Yikes" is an understatement.
Vols coach Pat Summitt immediately played the "disrespect" card. Usually, the "D" card is ludicrous; in this instance, she might have earned an exemption:
"That's a slap in your face ... I guess it's my fault for putting together the toughest schedule in the country year in and year out. But as far as I'm concerned we got no respect and I don't understand it."
If the top two teams in the men's RPI were in the same region, can you imagine the outrage?
With Rutgers and Purdue as the 3- and 4-seeds in this "Region of Death" (to swipe a phrase from the World Cup), that would be like Duke, UConn, Gonzaga and BC all being in the same region on the men's side.
NFL Madness
Perhaps lost
in yesterday's bracket mania was an otherwise exciting rally of NFL free-agent signings. The most prominent:
Ravens re-sign Jamal Lewis,
which begs the question why they went out and also signed Broncos RB Mike Anderson, who must be wondering what he has to do to stop being a platoon RB.
Dolphins sign LT Shelton,
which begs the question whether Nick Saban is poised to land QB Drew Brees, who reportedly favors the Fins (via Miami Herald).
Browns wooing LB McGinest,
which begs the question how much more of an extreme makeover Cleveland could have this offseason. (They've already signed two new O-lineman, Ted Washington for the DL, WR Joey J to mentor Braylon Edwards and even a new punter.)
Edge James to Cards,
which begs one question (why?!), but also begs the question of how much more effective those WRs can be with a real threat in the backfield.
Lloyd, Randle El to Skins,
along with S Archuleta and LB Carter, which begs the question: Has Dan Snyder's increased alternative revenue-sharing entitled him to more cap room than everyone else?
Hutchinson gets Vikes offer,
which begs the question of how the Seahawks are going to afford
of their MVPs.
Eagles sign DE Howard,
which begs the question from fans: When is the team going to get some help to upgrade the
WBC Madness
OK, who had South Korea
in his WBC office pool?
South Korea moved to 2-0
with a 7-3 win over the U.S. By now, if you still think the U.S. is a lock to win the WBC title, you're crazy. Not when they still can't get consistent pitching from Dontrelle Willis (3R in 3 IP).
Meanwhile, the other half
of the WBC 2nd Round is coming down to a must-see Wednesday "Final Four"-style thriller: The winners of the two games advance to the semis.
That means that either Venezuela or the D.R. is going home; same with Cuba and Puerto Rico. Will VZ's use of 7 pitchers in Monday's must-win (where they delivered a shutout) hurt them against that powerful D.R. lineup?
(What? You don't have a WBC office pool? Never mind: Back to your NCAA brackets, everyone...)
NIT Madness?
I don't know what Cincinnati fans
are complaining about: They got a No. 1 seed in the NIT, along with Maryland, Michigan and Louisville. Nothing squeaks "Respect!" like a No. 1 seed in the NIT.
I'm torn: Would the greater irony be one of those four NCAA "snubees" winning the NIT title -- or a mid-major team (say, one of the two from the Mo Valley) winning it all? Would that really prove
If you're filling out an NIT bracket ... (Wait: If you're filling out an NIT bracket, I want to know (a) do you want the name of a good therapist and (b) how can I get me a piece of that?)
As I was saying, if you're filling out an NIT bracket, watch out for the dreaded annual NIT "Letdown" Effect, where a hopeful (but snubbed) Big Dance team, spirit broken, loses its first NIT game.
(Either that, or it's the opposite, "I'll-Show-You" Effect, where the team -- motivated beyond belief by spite -- wins the whole thing.)
Remember the NIT rallying cry:
We're No. 66!"

FDA approved 27 new drugs in 2013
WASHINGTON – The Food and Drug Administration approved 27 first-of-a-kind drugs in 2013, down from 39 new medications in 2012, which was a 15-year high.
Despite the decline, FDA officials say the tally of innovative medications approved last year is in line with the historical trend. On average, the FDA has approved 28 first-of-a-kind drugs annually over the past five years.
FDA drug approvals are watched closely by analysts as both a barometer of industry innovation and the federal government's efficiency in reviewing new therapies.
Experts say the number of drug approvals declined in 2013 mainly because there were fewer drugs submitted for review.
According to an FDA presentation given last month to industry executives, the agency received at least 32 applications for innovative medications in 2013, down from 41 in 2012. Generally the FDA takes between 6 and 10 months to review new drug applications.
"I don't think this reflects badly on the way FDA is working, rather on the number of applications they had to review," said Ira Loss, who covers the industry for Washington Analysis. There are at least 25 new drug applications pending at FDA for this year with more expected soon, according to Washington Analysis.
More drug applications bode well for an industry that thrives on new products and has seen patents on some of its all-time blockbuster sellers – including the cholesterol pill Lipitor and the blood thinner Plavix – expire in recent years.
FDA drug approvals peaked at 53 in 1996 before declining in the wake of a series of high-profile drug safety incidents, culminating with the withdrawal of Merck's painkiller Vioxx in 2004 because of links to heart attack and stroke.
Drug approvals have bounced around in the mid-20s for the last decade or so, before jumping to 30 in 2011. The 39 drugs approved in 2012 was the highest annual tally since 1997.
Experts attribute the recent uptick to a combination of factors: a stable, well-funded FDA and a newly established research model among drugmakers that focuses on first-of-a-kind drugs for rare conditions with few other medical treatments.
One-third of the 27 new drugs approved last year were for rare diseases and medical conditions, continuing a multiyear trend favoring so-called orphan drugs. Such therapies include drugs like Imbruvica, a drug from Pharmacyclics and Johnson & Johnson that was approved in November to treat a rare form of blood cancer. Imbruvica was one of three drugs approved in 2013 under a new "breakthrough" drug designation, which was authorized by Congress in 2012. The classification is designed to speed up development of promising drugs by providing companies with extra meetings and earlier communication with FDA scientists.
But not all the breakthrough drugs of 2013 were for rare diseases or niche conditions.
Perhaps the most important new therapy of the year was a highly anticipated hepatitis C drug from Gilead Sciences Inc. that is expected to offer a faster, more palatable cure to millions of people infected with the liver-destroying virus. The daily pill, Sovaldi, has been shown to cure roughly 90 percent of hepatitis C cases in just 12 weeks, compared with older drugs that cure about three out of four patients and can take up to a year.
In the first quarter of 2014 the FDA is scheduled to rule on several innovative medications, including a long-lasting injectable drug for hemophilia from Biogen Idec and the first-ever treatment for a sleep disorder caused by blindness, developed by Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc.

In this thriller, Andrew Vachss's renegade private eye teams up with a lethally gifted avenger to follow a child's murderer through the catacombs of New York, where every alley is blind and the penthouses are as dangerous as the basements.
Fearfully knowing, crackling with narrative tension, and written in prose as forceful as a hollow-point slug, Flood is Burke at his deadliest - and Vachss at the peak of his form.
More mayhem? Listen to another Burke thriller.

"Pretty good - I will try some more of the series."
I like the various mix of characters and hope to see more of them. Didn't really like the standard (in too many series) description of the amazing martial artist that apparently live only to assist the main character - also pretty predictable group of bad guys - but remember this was written before so many used the same computer (confused also with telecom) genius living deep in the ground. And the poor dog never got any exercise so how could he stay in shape. But what the heck this is fiction and once I got into the first few chapters I didn't stop till it was done. So I liked it a lot, warts and all.
I loved the change in voice for mama! Sounds like a lot of my friends from years gone by. good voices changes without making me forget the story.
Yes - most likely will listen to it again in a few years.
"This is a great book!"
I love this book; I listened to Straga before I bought this book on sale and must say that it was a much better book then Straga. I'm glad that I gave the author another shot and I'm going to go through and listen to his others. I'm the kind of reader/listener that once I find author I like I stick with them. (Robert Parker, Robert Crais, Dennis Lehane, etc.)
As for this book, as the previous person wrote, Flood is not for the faint at heart. It is very graphic and almost all the characters, most notable Burke are extremely flawed. But the thing about Burke is although he operates on the wrong side of the law; he does the right thing in a world that few people would even go into. Bad people can do bad things for the right reason, that's Burke.
"Great story. Not for the faint of heart."
It's a good listen but I didn't feel the "depth" in this book that I have in many others. Still...it was a good story.
It moved along well.
Interesting author with his own story.
Think "Sin City." (If you have not yet seen the remarkable 2005 movie, "Sin City," see if you can rent it or borrow it. If you like "Sin City," you will like "Flood.") Imagine Clive Owen playing Burke. Somebody (Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez) should film this book. Talk about New York's 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙮 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙮! "Flood" combines the hard-boiled detective fiction of the '40s and '50s (think Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler on steroids) -- including all the smoking (OMG, Burke, will you quit smoking before you kill yourself?) with "Sin City"'s over-the-top noir -- including the (unintentionally?) funny male sexual fantasies. Our protagonist, Burke (just one name, thank you very much ... how cool is 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩?) has had a hard life, which has made him tough and cynical. He now mixes with the dregs of society -- the hookers (with hearts of gold, of course), the thieves, the con artists, the convicts, the rejects, the bottom-feeders, and the low-lifes. But wait: Burke has 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨! You will enjoy watching him take out the trash. What you need to know about author Andrew Vachss is that he is a practicing attorney who devotes himself to protecting abused children; and his protagonist in the Burke series had been abused in childhood. Now Burke deals out revenge to all abusers. I rank narrator Christopher Lane as one of my favorite voice actors: He has a beautiful voice 𝙖𝙣𝙙 chops. I liked "Flood" so much that, before I had even finished listening to it, I went ahead and purchased the next audiobook in the series, "Strega," to which I have almost finished listening now. I recommend "Flood" to any aficionado of old-fashioned, hard-boiled noir.
"Fiction Mirrors Reality"
I've read some of the books by A. Vachss before and how they came about. I love the HORROR genre but this fiction mirrors true horror. Sends shivers up my spine how things like this really happen.
One the more memorable moments was when the author describes how innocents can be manipulated to the dark side of drugs and prostitution.
I would have loved to listen to it in one sitting but then it would have been over sooner. Nice and slow makes a better story.
I look forward to continue the saga.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"Not quite noir, not quite Bond, not quite 4 stars"
Well... I actually kind of liked it. It's not quite noir (but is pretty close) and not quite James Bond (but also pretty close). The main character is resourceful and creative and dangerous and human all at once. Not to mention the fact that he had an "in" with everyone in the story (prostitutes, newspapers, police, genius - heck, he even had an "in" with the guard dogs).
There is a bit of dated-ness to the story (boomboxes, etc) and a bit of 80s stereotypes (pimps, etc) and an overuse of the term "freaks" for pretty much everyone in the story other than the main character and his buddies. Not saying that there aren't a lot of freaks, but... it was a bit excessive that Burke would run into so many in the course of his activities.
The story had the resolution you'd expect it to have and the plot moved enough that you're never bored waiting for something to happen, and the author kept his personal politics to a minimum...
The narrator was pretty good - he did different "accents" which were, for the most part, pretty good and all the characters voices were distinct so you always knew who was talking.
"Deeper than it seems"
Part of me wants to write a dissertation on this book. It appears to be a typical noir detective novel with a dame going to see a hard-luck private investigator to find a man, only in this case she describes the person she seeks as a "child rapist." It was written in the mid-1980s after Vachss wrote a nonfiction book about violent juvenile offenders and nobody really was interested in it. So he took his advocacy for abused children and put it in a detective thriller set in the porn/prostitution world of New York City — oh, and he also advocates for dog breeds viewed as dangerous. The detective — and the author — come off like condescending jerks who prefer to be white knights, as opposed to being allies, with those who aren't as privileged, but I think that would be a misreading. The main protagonist characters are diverse — one is deaf; one is a woman of color, another is a transgender woman, who is always treated with respect and the proper pronouns used, which was extremely unusual 30 years ago. In the end, the book is "just" a vigilante revenge tale but it's doing interesting things within the too-often limited genre of the crime novel. I enjoyed it enough that I've already picked up five more books in the series.
The audio narration is great except for some of the voices of the non-white characters are a bit too stereotyped.
"Exceptional, exciting read 📖!!"
Vachss is the top dog when it comes to fiction work, you will totally be lost in Burkes world 🌍 when you pick up any of the books 📚 in this series...
"Vachss always a winner "
I read this book many years ago and immediately binged about seven others of the series. When I signed on Audible, I was curious to see if it would stand the test of time. I still love Burke as the anti-hero and only a very few things were out of place because of dated references for a book written decades ago. There are stellar quotations, both humorous in nature & deep, that you'll want to keep, and the social commentaries unobtrusively interspersed with the tight unrelenting plotting are true still. It makes the author seem prescient to 2016. So glad I reacquainted myself! If you can enjoy a dimly lit world of dark grey vengance on the rocks with a rye smirk twist, this series is worth the hangover of a true binge.
"Welcome to the Dark Side......"
Andres Vachss creates a sharp as a blade look at a dark world, hard truths but true...pulls you right in. The series is addictive, the characters are compelling and complex. With each book, you get sucked deeper and deeper...cant get enough of Burke and his 'family'

The Civil War in Montgomery County
Montgomery County in the 1860s
As the Civil War enveloped our nation in the 1860s, the residents of Montgomery County lived in a war zone. Strategically located next to the City of Washington (Washington DC), Montgomery County and the State of Maryland were of vital importance to the security of our nation's capital. For the first time since the War of 1812, people felt the touch of war.
Residents of the county were impacted in many ways. Union and Confederate soldiers regularly passed through the area, small bands of troops conducted raids, and young men went off to fight on both sides of the conflict. Spies and smugglers made trusting your neighbor difficult, staple goods became more and more scarce, and cannon fire heard from across the river created a tension felt by all. In the midst of this, martial law was imposed throughout Maryland. This military rule meant checkpoints, curfews, passes for travel to certain places, seemingly random citizen arrests, and the seizure of property.
Maryland was a slave-holding state until emancipation on November 1, 1864, when the Maryland Constitution outlawed slavery. Of the county's approximately 18,000 residents in 1860, over 5,400 were enslaved and 1,550+ were free blacks. The county had 760 slave owners, 674 with holdings of fewer than 15. Sentiment in the northwestern part of the county was mostly pro-South and pro-slavery. On the other hand, the Quaker residents of Sandy Spring had freed their slaves by the early 1800s. The State and county debated secession throughout 1861 but never reached consensus on the issue.
As part of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, Heritage Montgomery produced the documentary film, Life in a War Zone: Montgomery County during the Civil War, a 32-page brochure Guide to the Civil War in Montgomery County, Maryland, and, in partnership with Washington Revels, the musical CD, "Hard Times Come Again No More: American Music of the Civil War Era."
Life in a War Zone:
Montgomery County during the Civil War
In conjunction with the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Heritage Montgomery produced an Emmy®Award-winning 60-minute documentary film, Life in a War Zone: Montgomery County during the Civil War.
Shot in high definition, the video powerfully tells the story of Montgomery County in the 1860s and the effect the Civil War had on the daily life of its citizens. Montgomery County was strategically located next to the District of Columbia and in the path of major troop movement to and from the Confederate state of Virginia and the battles of Antietam (in Sharpsburg, Maryland) and Gettysburg (Pennsylvania). Thousands of Union soldiers camped in Rockville and Poolesville for extended periods. The war had a significant impact on the county and its residents for the duration of the conflict and beyond. The film uses historic and contemporary images, beautiful photography, first-person accounts and a stirring soundtrack to tell the story of the war years in Montgomery County.
To view the video online, click the links below. The film is also available in DVD format on our Gift Shop page.
Life in a War Zone: A Guide to the
Civil War in Montgomery County
Heritage Montgomery has published a 32-page brochure, "Life in a War Zone: A Guide to the Civil War in Montgomery County, Maryland," guiding visitors to heritage sites in the county with stories of Civil War significance.
From Poolesville to Rockville to Sandy Spring, learn more about how county residents' lives were affected by constant troop movement throughout the area, as well as federal occupation, during the Civil War years. Walk along the Potomac River at Edward's Ferry, where gas-fired balloons were once used to scout Confederate activity across the Potomac in Loudoun County; visit the majestic Monocacy Aqueduct, part of the vital supply route of the C&O Canal; or hike the Underground Railroad Experience Trail at Woodlawn Manor in Sandy Spring.

After the game, Wyoming senior guard Nathan Sobey had nothing but good things to say about the rowdy home crowd inside the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on Wednesday.
A group of 9,909 Utah State fans were consistently enthusiastic throughout the back-and-forth affair.
"For me, it's my last away game in the regular season. Personally, what better way to end it than in a great atmosphere like that?" Sobey said. "I really can't complain."
Senior Night
Wednesday's game was Senior Night for Utah State, and five seniors — Spencer Butterfield, Sean Harris, Jarred Shaw, Preston Medlin and TeNale Roland — were honored.
Shaw finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, Butterfield added 12 points, Roland had 10, Medlin had seven and Harris scored four.
And though he doesn't log many minutes, the student section showed support of Harris — and his bright red flat-top.
Utah State's student section came with signs that imitated Sean Harris' red-headed flat top. Love it. #gowyo pic.twitter.com/9oMrphjzUk— Mike Vorel (@mikevorel) March 6, 2014

U.S. Churches: Banning Same-Sex Marriage Has Nothing To Do With Homosexuality
CREDIT: AP Photo/Gerald Herbert
As the Supreme Court prepares to take up another same-sex marriage case, other states are still fighting to defend their bans on same-sex couples marrying. One of those states is Missouri, where a federal court overturned the ban in November. With the case now before the Eighth Circuit on appeal, the nation's largest religious organizations have chimed in to express their support for upholding Missouri's ban.
An amicus brief has been filed in the case by a coalition representing the largest Christian denominations in the country: the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the National Association of Evangelicals, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Recognizing their similar position on the issue, these religious groups argue that support for a ban on same-sex marriage has nothing to do with homosexuality nor any intent to discriminate against the gay community.
They assert this claim over a dozen times throughout the brief. Here are some examples:
- "The accusation [of "ignorance or actual hostility"] is false and offensive. It is intended to suppress rational dialogue and civil conversation, to win by insult and intimidation rather than by persuasion, experience, and fact."
- "Our support for the historic meaning of marriage arises from a positive vision of 'the family'… and not from animosity toward anyone."
- "Our teachings seldom focus on sexual orientation or homosexuality."
- "Our faith communities bear no ill will toward same-sex couples."
- "Faith communities like amici have long histories of upholding traditional marriage for reasons that have nothing to do with homosexuality."
- "These fundamental Catholic teachings about marriage do not mention and have nothing to do with same-sex attraction."
- "Homosexuality is not central to Evangelical teachings on marriage."
- "Here again [in Mormon doctrine], homosexuality is remote from teachings about marriage and family."
The intention of this messaging is clear. They hope to persuade the court that there is a valid reason for the state's ban on same-sex marriage that isn't just about discriminating against same-sex couples.
Despite the claims in their briefs, these religious groups speak about homosexuality in conjunction with their views on marriage at every turn. The ERLC's fall conference was called "The Gospel, Homosexuality, and the Future of Marriage" and Biblical teachings on homosexuality were at the core of its marriage conversations. The Vatican's recent Humanum conference about marriage specifically justified its positions by rejecting the nature of homosexuality and highlighting the voices of ex-gays. Mormon leaders worry that marriage equality will lead to more violations of God's law requiring chastity for gay people, not to mention they had to specify to volunteers campaigning for California's Proposition 8 that "the less we refer to homosexuality, the better."
After its numerous attempts to claim that these groups are not disparaging homosexuality, the brief proceeds to instead then champion different-sex couples. "A man and woman uniquely complement one another spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, and physically," the Catholics assert in their section. The brief also argues that man-woman couples are superior for raising children, citing multiple studies that did not even assess same-sex parenting. Despite the irrelevance of these studies, the brief openly claims that limiting marriage to a man and a woman will somehow protect children from broken homes. "Children need their mothers and fathers," it explains, "That is why society needs the institution of male-female marriage and why Missouri is right to specially protect and support it." The law, the brief claims, also "encourages socially optimal behavior."
The last time the Supreme Court considered a same-sex marriage case, the Howard University School of Law's Civil Rights Clinic pointed out that the arguments against same-sex marriage are identical to the arguments that were made against interracial marriage. Arguments that people of the same race "complement each other" better, that same-race parents are superior for children, that same-race families are less comparable to broken homes, and that sexual activity with the same race is "socially optimal behavior" all sound racist today. The religious organizations' focus on heterosexual relations as superior encounters the same problem of degrading same-sex relations by inference.
The religious organizations simultaneously try to build a case that they, in fact, are victims as a result of these accusations of bigotry. The brief later claims that the ban should not be overturned because citizens and their elected representatives should be able to "participate freely in the processes of self-government as believers." Ignoring how the ban might infringe on the rights of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people and their families, it warns that ruling in favor of marriage equality would unfairly "brand Missouri voters as irrational or bigoted."
Much of the brief is recycled from similar briefs the same coalition of groups has issued in the past, such as in the appeal of the Utah marriage case. The arguments failed in that case, with the Tenth Circuit concluding that "these freedoms — to choose one's spouse, to decide whether to conceive or adopt a child, to publicly proclaim an enduring commitment to remain together through thick and thin — reinforce the childrearing family structure." The court was unconvinced by arguments about marriage's supposedly necessary connection to procreation because different-sex couples could already marry "regardless of the pairing's procreative capacity," not to mention that many same-sex couples were already raising children of their own. Only same-sex couples were targeted by the ban, and "extending the benefits and protections of a civil society to some but not all similarly situated families violates [the Equal Protection Clause]."
Dozens of lower courts have agreed that only same-sex couples are unfairly impacted by the bans, and the Supreme Court has allowed their decisions to stand, suggesting they are ready for nationwide same-sex marriage. In fact, the number of marriage equality states has almost doubled in just the last year as a result of these decisions. As the largest Christian denominations in the country are taking what may be their final stands against marriage equality, it is now that much harder for them to convince judges that they aren't simply trying to limit the rights of same-sex families.

San Enrique Government Officials are doing its internal investigation for the missing items owned by the Municipality such as numerous number of Laptops, Computers, etc under Former Mayor Ramona Go.
Early San Enriquenhons[edit]
Early inhabitants of San Enrique may be traced back to the tribes of those great Datus who had move up the river of Jalaud and settled on promontory they called "Bontoc". Following their customs and united by the bonds of kinship they built a community. Out of the flourishing settlement later rosegreat men like Manuel Paez, Modesto Palabrica and Apolinario Palabrica, who had earlier become Capitanes of the mother town of Passi. The names of Sanriago Pama, AugustoPalencia, Gregorio Aguilar, Bartolo Garrido, Cipriano Gonzales, Vicente Quianzon, and others surnamed Palabrica and Paez, had been elected to the position of Capitanes of Tenientes.
During an exploration talk held at the house of his aunt, Maura Ponte in Barangay Camiri, Jesus Prudente and his closest friends stressed the need to launch a movement aimed at separating San Enrique fromPassi. This was followed by a core group meeting at the old municipal building.In the presence of Ernesto Palabrica, Jose Lacsao, Crispin Lademora and Rodrigo Ponte, he laid down the mechanics for the reconstitution of the town into a separate political entity.
At the Assembly meeting called on November 25, 1956, a big crowd clustered in the market place at the corner of Palabrica and Manolo street. In his stirring speech Dr. Zosimo Palencia, the no. 1 councilor of Passi assured them of his wholehearted support. Other impassioned speakers were Exequiel Garrido, Jesus Paclibar, Juan Ayupan, Ernesto Palabrica, Genaro Aguilar and Manuel Pama.
On July 12, 1957, Executive Order No. 259, creating the new Municipality of San Enrique, in the Province of Iloilo, was signed by Excellency Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines.
San Enrique was separated from Passi through the efforts of the man who had no filial fies with anyone in the Municipality except by his official connection with them as representative. Congressman Aldeguer was the "Simon Bolivar", in the emancipation of San Enrique.
During the first years of its existence as a municipality, San Enrique was confronted by heartbreaking problems. Those times were bitter, painful and discouraging. The Municipality was beset by financial crises, but the San Enriquenhons were able to move successfully against the stream of insurmountable odds.
The establishments of Passi Sugar Central in San Enrique, has considerably improved the economy of the Municipality. It has drawn workers, thereby enhancing its financial status.
However, in 1967, the San Enrique Community High School operated by the virtue of the law authored by Congressman Aldeguer in 1965. Since San Enrique is basically an agricultural town, the San Enrique National Agricultural and Vocational High School operated in1972. These two secondary high schools were eventually fused, becoming San Enique Agricultural College in June 10, 1983 under Batas Pambansa 496. Republic Act number 6944 converted the school into San Enrique Polytechnic College and begun to function in June 10, 1991. Presently the school is ISCOF.
The face lifting and reshaping of a municipality lies on the hands of people with the guidance of responsible leaders. The reign of the municipality government of San Enrique from 1957 to present rested on the shoulders

Asisig with a total length of 45 LM. The bridge located in Imbesad-an is measured approximately 30 LM in length. Lictinon bridge at Bgy. Catan-agan is approximately 39 LM. Rumagayray Bridge is measured roughly about 30 LM in length and Cabit Bridge in Paga with a length of 25 LM.
Since numerous shallow creeks in addition to bridges traverse the land surface of the town, overflows are constructed to supplement the road network.

During floods, water just overflow, since flooding of this creeks or rivers is usually of short duration, suspension of traffic during floods along these overflows is very temporary.
Some of the overflows can be found at Bgy. Abaca, Bgy. Cubay and Bgy. Lip-ac-Palje.

Roto Riteup: August 31, 2013
Apologies for the tardiness of today's Roto Riteup. If Kanye West penned these articles then you should be honored by my lateness (warning: language).
On today's agenda:
1. The Baltimore Orioles have a new designated hitter
2. Welcome back, Angel Pagan
3. Evan Gattis gets sent down
4. Corey Kluber could return next week
The Baltimore Orioles have a new designated hitter
As speculated in yesterday's Roto Riteup, the O's have acquired a DH by the name of Michael Morse. The power hitting right-hander should help boost the club's numbers against southpaws, as the Orioles have a hit a collective .248/.294/.406 line. A triple slash that gruesome translates to an 87 wRC+, tied for 20th in baseball. Morse's ownership hasn't changed much since yesterday and that is good for you. Pick him up now and let him hit in the lineup — that despite their struggles against lefties — has scored the fourth most runs in the majors. Morse is still available in 65% of Yahoo! leagues, 63% of ESPN formats, and 48% of CBS leagues.
Welcome back, Angel Pagan
Yesterday Angel Pagan played in his first major league game since May 25 after being activated from the disabled list. An injury to his hamstring kept him on the sidelines and one could reason that the injury has hampered his steals as well. After posting 37, 32, and 29 steals from 2010-12 (with an 80% success rate), Pagan has just seven steals against four times caught stealing thus far.
If Pagan gets back to stealing at a frequent rate, he could be a solid pickup in the closing weeks. Given that he immediately reclaimed his leadoff position, Pagan should be picked up by anyone looking for runs and steals from the outfield. The injury and missed time has frustrated many early season Pagan owners, as his ownership rate is just 34% in CBS leagues, 30% in Yahoo! formats, and 27% in ESPN leagues.
Evan Gattis gets sent down
In an effort to give Evan Gattis more consistent playing time, the Atlanta Braves have sent him to Triple-A for the duration of the weekend. A fast start catapulted Gattis on to fantasy radars everywhere but after a combined 12 home runs in April and May, Gattis has swatted just three additional homers since. Injuries and a lack of consistent playing time have slowed him down, however his numbers have declined as the season progressed. Since June, Gattis has posted wOBA's of .240, .269. and .187 in consecutive months. Ideally he will get back on track in the minors as the Braves hope to see Gattis get eight-12 AB's over the weekend and then come back up on Tuesday.
In two-catcher leagues, one should hang on to Gattis and hope the regular playing time sorts everything out. In regards to leagues where Gattis is being plugged in as an outfielder or shallow single catcher leagues, owners there have seemingly already let Gattis go. He is currently available in over 70% of both ESPN and Yahoo! leagues, though in CBS formats — where two catchers is standard in rotisserie — Gattis is available in just 39% of leagues.
Corey Kluber could return next week
Somewhere Cistulli is almost assuredly prancing about. Now imagine his reaction when he hears that Corey Kluber's bullpen session yesterday went well enough for the Cleveland Indians to have him throw a simulated game Monday. Assuming the Tribe use this simulated game as a rehab start, Kluber would be on pace to rejoin the team soon enough to square off against the New York Mets in a series that kicks off next Friday. Kluber is owned in over 40% of CBS formats, however he is owned in less than 10% of both ESPN and Yahoo! leagues. Grab him now and make use of his strikeout rate and strong peripherals.

Many people are taking the cash loan as the final solution of their financial problem. If you are thinking about getting the cash loan to be your resolution too, then you will need to understand some of its positive and negative aspects first. Therefore, you will be able to understand about the things that you must and must not do just as the one explained in http://www.cashadvanceloansnow.net/.

Aquatic exercise is so much more than swimming. From shallow- and deep-water training to Ai Chi (aquatic Tai Chi), the unique properties of water make the pool a suitable environment for people of all abilities. A 3-D liquid fitness room, water lends itself to a well-balanced workout that improves cardio, strength and flexibility all at the same time.
Did you know?
Let's Jump In!
This 30-minute aquatic workout is broken down into two sets, with each set consisting of cardio-wall work, upper-body and core exercises, and cardio running. Use this workout when you can't get to your favorite aquatic class, as a supplement to your existing workout schedule, or as your first introduction to aquatic fitness.
Before getting started, remember to bring your poolside essentials: towel and a water bottle. And if you are taking this workout outdoors, wear your sunglasses and a hat, and load up on sunscreen.
Workout Exercise List
Back Wall Glide (targets lower body): Grab onto the pool ledge and place your feet on the pool wall. You should be in a tucked position. Push off the pool wall and glide on your back as long as you can. Tuck your knees into your chest, place your feet down, and run back to the wall. Repeat.
Side Wall Glide (targets lower body): With the right side of your body facing the pool wall, grab onto the pool ledge with your right hand and place your feet on the pool wall. You should be in a tucked position. Push off the wall and glide on your right side as long as you can. Tuck your knees into your chest, place your feet down and run sideways back to the wall. Change to the left side and repeat.
Horizontal Chest Fly/Reverse Fly (targets chest and upper back): Lift your arms up and out to the side toward the top of the surface of the water. With your palms facing forward, close the arms to the front and then return back to the starting position.
Front-to-back Shoot Out (targets abdominals and low back):This is a buoyant exercise—your feet will not touch the ground. Lift the knees into a tucked position. Shoot the legs out to the front and lay out (think "suntan"). Tuck the knees back into the chest, rotate and shoot the legs out to the back (think "superman"). Tuck the knees back into the chest, rotate and you're ready to shoot the legs back out to the front.
Arm Scoop-up and Back (targets shoulders, biceps, triceps):Begin with the arms by your sides, palms facing out. Scoop the arms up toward the surface of the water. At the top, turn the palms down and push the arms back to the starting position.
Side-to-side Shoot Out (targets obliques): This is a buoyant exercise—your feet will not touch the ground. Lift the knees into a tucked position. Shoot the legs out to the right side (3 o'clock). Tuck the knees back into the chest and shoot the legs out to the left side (9 o'clock).
Running: Run in place by lifting the knees toward the top of the pool, moving the arms vigorously and striking the bottom of the pool with a flat foot (or as close as you can). Running on your toes may lead to tight and sore Achilles tendons and calf muscles.
