Hey guys, I don't usually post in the Harvard board but I thought this was weird...
Like two days ago, I got a letter from Harvard...you know, the usual "Blah blah blah you are starting your college search process blah blah blah..." then today, they sent me an application!
Anyone else get anything in the mail?
|By Qwert271 (Qwert271) on Thursday, May 27, 2004 - 03:46 pm: Edit
got it too. they expect the apps to start coming in for EA by early oct, and the regular ones for early december. that means that when they start coming in, not when they're due. they're due on nov 1 and dec 15(?) respectively.
|By Chasgoose (Chasgoose) on Thursday, May 27, 2004 - 06:20 pm: Edit
The December 15th deadline is their "preferred deadline" the actual RD deadline is December 31st/January 1st. It doesn't make a difference when you turn your app in as long as you turn it in by that final deadline. I turned mine a couple days after Christmas and I was still accepted.

Yeah I got one about a week ago...sort of a waste of paper since i'll probably type it on acrobat 6.

If they SEND you an app, does that mean anything? Or did you request it or something?
|By Chasgoose (Chasgoose) on Friday, May 28, 2004 - 02:25 am: Edit
It means that Harvard bought your PSAT scores from the College Board. It means nothing except that you chose the box that let your PSAT scores be sent to interested colleges and that you were one of the 50,000+ students in the range Harvard bought from the College Board.

Something funny....
I'm a junior (class of 2005) who graduated a year early. I applied and was admitted to Harvard. I will be going there in the fall of 2004. Yet, they continue to send me letters and applications telling me to apply. I think the left hand needs to find out what the right hand is doing.
Good luck to all the applicants!!!

For those of us who weren't so competent on the PSAT, how do we go about getting an application right now?
I hate to ask stupid questions, but I'm truly ignorant of the college application process.

lol theres a typo in the harvard application
funny just cuz its harvard lol

You can actually request an application on their website,(www.harvard.edu). I believe it is under Admissions.
I was going to request an application today, but I just got one in the mail....^______^

WillyWonka and Yz16:
*follow the instructions after viewing that site if you want to download; or on the side bar, there's a link you can click if you want the school to send the application to you
|By Modestmouse (Modestmouse) on Sunday, June 06, 2004 - 12:33 pm: Edit
Yeah. Portlander, some people take the option of visiting the school over the summer and doing their interview then... I think I'm going to wait and do the "first choice last" technique for interview.

hey what's the visiting undergraduate program thing? like, do you get some sort of certificate? or just transfer credit to your original school and that's it?

|By Jenesaispas (Jenesaispas) on Sunday, June 13, 2004 - 08:45 am: Edit
Modestmouse, I think that once you submit your application, (or part of it, at least), Harvard contacts/the regional rep. contacts you. If they don't contact you by a certain time, then you have to talk to Harvard directly.
|By Philntex (Philntex) on Monday, June 14, 2004 - 11:49 pm: Edit
Yeah, that's how I heard it works, Jenesaispas (btw, I like your username). Hopefully Harvard'll get it all together for you, but of course that doesn't always work, so if after you've submitted your app and haven't heard from a rep in a while, check into it.

If You Bulk Up When You're Young, Your Muscles Will Remember How to Get Big
Your body's muscles, at least according to researchers who tested their theory on mice, truly have "muscle memory," remembering their former strength abilities even if you quit the gym for years and begin a diet of bacon and cheese. Which means for those of you who were fit as young people, it should be easier to regain that strength when you're older. If you were teased for being fat on the playground, well life sucks doubly for you if you want to look like this guy in middle age.
Crappy research, I have seen guys who were overweight during childhood and teens become the most ripped sex sirens in their late 20's and early 30's when they hit the gym for the first time in theirs lives. What you have to realize about abs, pecs, biceps is the fact that it requires living at the gym in some cases 7 days a week and you have to give it the dedication.
I started working out at home everyday early in the morning with sit ups and even in the nights along with pushups and lifting some buckets of water each day. I was surprised to see within 2 weeks I started getting abs, strong biceps and carved pecs.
I personally was doing it with a goal, I was hoping to get awarded for an award to travel abroad. When I didn't get awarded, I kinda got depressed and stop working out. I got the award earlier this year though, but I haven't had the push to try working out again, maybe in September.
Another thing, fat guys make the best ripped or bodybuilder guys. Another thing I notice is, Bodybuilders who stop training make the worst obese people. My brother stopped many years ago and he just eats and eats building this huge gut! So, becareful, it can be a double edge sword.Aug 23, 2010 at 10:28 am · @Reply ·
So this is Queerty's warning to us that we are gonna be seein' Davey Wavey videos for the next 60 years???? :p
AND.. un-pc comment heading your way: fat kids grow smaller dicks. Stomach fat inhibits testosterone development.
@Enron: But the research doesn't say that fat kids can't become sculpted adults – it says it's easier for fit people to become fit again than it is for more obese ones to become fit. There's a difference.
@Fitz: It is much more incorrect than it is non-PC, actually
Never mind the research, who's the hot guy in the photo?
Sorry but that's bullshit.
First of all most fat kids are carrying more muscle than anyone else because they're carrying more weight. You just can't see it because it's under fat. Hippos for example are very powerful regardless of the fact that they look fat on the surface. I got in a fight with a fat guy once, that's all it took for me to learn to just back down(he was picking on me) because you'll basically just look stupid.
Secondly most of the ripped guys you see now are doing it artificially. Supplements with god knows what in them and actual steroids are passed around my generation like they're perfectly normal and not at all harmful to the body. It's more water than muscle.
Finally exercise is the only reason your muscles will grow and it won't be any faster or slower than anyone else. They come out with this defeating bullshit every other year and it's all lies. I've known many a fat guy who decided he was tired of not liking the way he looked, hit the gym(some naturally, and others through the above harmful substances), and later came back looking like a god(those who used the weird crap did it in a few short months… but their kidneys will probably fail at 40).
These "experts" always have a bottom line of selling you a product or service. They have to keep it confusing, make it sound impossible without them, and have to keep you unhappy(fit or fat, doesn't matter, unhappiness is key so you never stop striving even when you reached your goal).
It's "research" like this that keeps these guys clinically depressed and obsessed with working out because the most in shape guys used to be fat. These assholes know where their money is coming from so they keep targeting them.
Not to mention that fat, (adipose tissue) is an excellent fuel for muscle building.
Dammit, I knew that my fat teenage years were going to betray me as I got older!
Ah well, at least it kept my parents from questioning why I wasn't dating girls at the time.
@Jayb3369: Ramon Davos.
Muscle memory does exist.
So Queerty publishes a link to a research study and you all say 'this is b.s. because I saw such-and-such at my gym' or in grade school, or I knew a fat guy who got muscular once, etc.
Research is actually structured, if done right, to be more than just your own opinion. You're sounding like Sarah Palin, et al., who want 'the truth' to be whatever they think it should be based on how they feel right now, as Stephen Colbert satirizes so well.
hit a gym…
@alan brickman: What took you so long?
@Mr. Enemabag Jones: That is a horrible reply. Fat CAN NOT be used to build muscle because of the fact that fat=/= protein. Your body goes for whatever's most easily available, and that is generally Carbs. During exercise barely any fat is used at all simply because your body is not that good at using fat as a fuel source quickly. What exercise does is raise your resting metabolic rate and hopefully that puts you in a caloric deficit so you, gasp!, lose fat. While it is possible to lose fat and at the same time gain muscle, remaining at your starting mass, this is more difficult to do the further you go along a training regiment. They even have a word for the first easy fifteen pounds. Noob gains.
Another thing is that endomorphs typically have more muscle and gain muscle more easily while training. The downside is that they also put fat on more easily, so when they do start working out, they have an easier base from which to start. It's a bitch for them to cut down but when they do it's totally worth it.
Oh, and your fat cell count stays relatively stable after youth. If you had a lot of them then, you'll have a lot of them now. How much fat is inside of them and how easily you put on more fat is determined by then. This has been known for a while. The study then, doesn't have ANYTHING to do with fat, and only deals with muscles and strength, which, really, leads to a misleading article. (Oh hey look guys CNS-strength has some validity to it lol.)
From the linked article: "Strength training not only builds muscle, it also generates new muscle nuclei. According to a new study, these nuclei stick around even when muscle mass goes away."
That's it. Now stop exaggerating, fretting, and demeaning findings.
Who would want to look like that guy? Not me fer sure.
@Shaun Azzopardi: Not to worry blimpy!
@Fitz: Hate to break it to you bro, but I'm living proof that is aboslutely bullshit.
@Iron Mike: Iron Mike, or condescending ass, there is a big difference between not wanting to look like a steroid whore and wanting to look decent. Many men over do it with the muscles, and when they do it looks more disgusting and more unnatural than those that carry some extra fat around.
well this does wonders for my self esteem.

KINNELON — Larry Casha, a former Kinnelon council president, is the first to announce his candidacy for the Assembly seat held by the late Alex DeCroce.
Casha, who lost a bid for the seat in 2007, called DeCroce a mentor and friend.
"Alex's shoes will never be filled, his Assembly seat must be," Casha said in a statement released Saturday.
DeCroce, 75, a 23-year incumbent, died suddenly in the Statehouse last week, shortly after casting his final votes of the legislative session.
Republican county committee members from the Morris, Passaic and Essex towns of DeCroce's district have about a month to appoint a replacement. who would have to run in November to fill the unexpired term.
Casha promised a more formal announcement at a later date, but said he would work to promote Gov. Chris Christie's agenda, specifically looking for ways to attract businesses to the state.
"We need to improve the business climate to create jobs," he said. "It is very difficult for small businesses to get loans and I think the state needs to step in and make sure people can get loans. We need to make New Jersey a business haven."
Casha, an attorney, is not the only one to express interest.
Republican insiders with knowledge of BettyLou DeCroce's plans said she plans to run to fill the seat held by her late husband, a Morris County Republican.
She is expected to have strong support.
"I think BettyLou is a name that rises to the top of the list," said Assemblyman Scott Rumana, the Passaic County Republican chairman. "She has extensive governmental experience, whether as township clerk or deputy manager in Roxbury, or as a deputy commissioner at the DCA. She certainly has learned the issues we contend with. With all that experience, I think we have a wonderful opportunity to find a tremendous representative in BettyLou should she pursue the seat."
BettyLou DeCroce, 59, would have to give up her job as deputy commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs if she joined the Legislature because the state constitution bans lawmakers from holding state jobs.
Casha said he was unconcerned about the party coalescing behind DeCroce's wife.
"I know they have faith in me," he said. "There is, to some degree, a sympathy factor playing for her and rightfully so, but once that wears off a tad, people are going to realize they need someone who can bring the right kind of experience — especially private-sector experience — to Trenton."
Casha declined to speculate on whether he would challenge a fellow Republican in a primary should he not be selected to replace DeCroce.
"I plan on being chosen," he said.

I have a Toshiba XF550U TV with 3 HDMI inputs that supports HDMI device control. When I had an HR20-700, XBox 360 and Sony BDP-S570 blu-ray player connected, the HDMI control (call Regza-Link on a Toshiba) worked well with the Sony blu-ray player.
I upgraded to the HR24-500 and it seems to disable the HDMI control with the Sony. If I unplug the HR24 HDMI cable, the Regza-Link works, if I connect the HR24, the Regza-Link is grayed out and does not work.
Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone had no interference with HDMI control?

Thanks for the reply. If the 24s are doing this now, hopefully that means that the boxes have the hw to implement CEC and we're just waiting for the software to catch up.

Shaping the train and Underground experience of the future
16 October 2013
UCL scientists worked with London Underground to help with experimental designs for a new generation of trains.
As the London Underground (popularly known as the Tube) carries a billion passengers a year, the science behind its system performance is crucial to its ability to move people effectively and its financial well-being. UCL Consultant's Mark Sedgwick helped negotiate the involvement of Professor Nick Tyler, Chadwick Professor of UCL Civil Engineering, with London Underground to experiment with the design aspects of the new generation of Tube trains.
As Mark lives and works in the capital, he has a personal interest in seeing the Underground working as efficiently as possible; a factor that helped him through the contract negotiations with Transport for London (TfL).
Small differences can deliver big improvements
By studying and analysing the effect of factors such as door widths and layout on passenger boarding and alighting times, system performance could be improved.
Nick's work covers investigation of the ways in which people
interact with their immediate environments and utilises the Pedestrian
Accessibility and Movement Environment Laboratory (PAMELA) for the assessment
of pedestrian movement. In particular, he looks at:
- environments under well-controlled laboratory conditions
- pedestrian infrastructure.
Minding the gap between people and performance
Via UCL Consultants, TfL engaged with Nick's team at UCL to utilise PAMELA to inform decisions to improve capacity and reliability across the Underground network. This has got to be great news for all of the capital's many residents, commuters and visitors who travel on the world famous Tube every day.
Mark Sedgwick concludes: "Although I had to negotiate a set of mutually agreeable
commercial terms within aggressive timelines, as a Londoner I had a particular
interest in the potential impact of this project on my own life, and the lives
of my fellow commuters."

A group of Dauphin County Technical School volunteers is returning to Georgia this month to repair homes damaged by widescale flooding in 2009.
This is the second time that the tech school's Building Construction Cares group is assisting homeowners in Austell, a town near Atlanta that was devastated by 22 inches of rain within 24 hours on Sept. 21, 2009.
The group of volunteers, including students, staff and others, leaves for Austell on Feb. 19 and returns home Feb. 25. Volunteers are helping to construct a handicapped-accessible house addition that will enable a displaced family to live with relatives while their house is being reconstructed.
The group originally planned to go to Nashville, Tenn., this year to assist flood victims, but plans there "fell through," building construction technology teacher Robert Brightbill said. Building Construction Cares spent a week working in Austell assisting flood victims in January 2010.
In 2008 and 2009, school groups traveled to Mississippi to rebuild and repair homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
This year's volunteers include Brightbill and building and construction technology students Klair Bretz, Kate Myers, Robert Miller, Ryan Geesaman, Dillion Meunsterman, Robert Grumbine and Ashley Whitker.
Student volunteers from other vocational courses are: Ashley Rodriguez, Megan Heckman, Danelle Vought, Elise Peterson, Bud Dunkle, Kari Hafer and Jeriah Schlader.
Also volunteering are tech school grad Sam Wesner, Mechanicsburg Rotary Club member John Mengel, the technical school's Joint Operating Committee chairman Keith Oellig, who represents Lower Dauphin, and school staff Sharon Deiling, Connie Kennedy and Don Updegrave.

Let's talk Lake Erie and the health of all of the Great Lakes.
In his 2010 budget, President Barack Obama proposed an unprecedented annual allocation of $475 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. With both sides of the aisle recognizing the value of such a commitment to the nation's most precious liquid assets, Congress approved it.
In 2011 and 2012, with large funding cuts threatened, former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette persuaded his House colleagues -- with the help of others in the Ohio delegation -- to keep spending on the initiative at a relatively robust $300 million per year.
This week, a tsunami of Great Lakes advocates, environmentalists, scientists, anglers and charter-boat captains is flooding Washington to urge legislators to keep 2013 funding at $300 million despite the sequester, which could trim 8 percent, if not more.
They also are lobbying for stronger federal action on stopping Asian carp and for Great Lakes-related conservation measures in the farm bill.
Spending on the health of the Great Lakes yields healthy returns. In a 2007 report, the Brookings Institution estimated at least $50 billion in net economic benefits from a concerted effort to clean up the lakes. That is an investment worth retaining.

And here comes number eleven!
That's right, I'm still plugging away at The Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge and the next bread up is Cranberry Walnut Celebration Bread. But since Mr. Reinhart gave us the option of choosing different dried fruits and nuts, I decided to celebrate cherry season and use tart dried cherries and pecans in my bread.
Although it is definitely a gorgeous loaf worthy of a celebration, this bread was surprisingly easy to make! No unusual ingredients for this one, just bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, buttermilk, eggs, butter, water, lemon extract, dried tart cherries, and pecans.
First, the dry ingredients and wet ingredients (except water) are mixed up separately, then combined in one mixing bowl.
I stirred everything together with my trusty wooden spoon, then added enough water to make a soft dough.
Ok, perhaps I added a bit too much water. Don't panic if this happens, remember that you can always knead in some extra flour during the next step!
Now for the kneading. I decided to give my mixer a day off, so I kneaded this dough by hand on my board. A kitchen counter or smooth tabletop also makes a good kneading surface, you don't need a pastry board to knead bread dough! But I have one, so I use it. I sprinkled it with a good amount of flour before scraping the sticky mess of dough out of the bowl, floured up my hands, and got to work!
It took about eight minutes of kneading by hand, before I ended up with a smooth, pliable, slightly tacky ball of dough. You really need to make sure that it's not too stiff at this point, because the nuts and fruit still have to be kneaded in!
I roughly chopped the nuts and cherries before kneading them in. I think this was the first time I've ever kneaded dried fruit and nuts into a bread dough by hand, so I was a little unsure about it. I just kind of flattened out the dough and dumped the whole mess on there.
It wasn't as hard as it seemed. Just be persistant, and it will get incorporated eventually!
Now it's time for bulk fermentation, the stage where you let the yeast do it's work and let the ball of dough double in bulk. I cleaned out the mixing bowl, oiled it, and placed the dough inside, rolling it once to coat it with oil. Now, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in bulk. If you have a warm house, you will want to check the dough early, because it will rise faster.
Here's my dough about an hour and a half later. I guess I had some happy yeast!
Now it's time to divide the dough. For this, I use two important tools: My bench scraper and my digital scale!
Since this is a celebration loaf, it will be shaped into a double braid. There will be a large three-strand braid on the bottom and a smaller three-strand braid on top. This means we'll need six pieces of dough. Three pieces will be 10 ounces each (for the larger braid) and three pieces will be 4 ounces each (for the smaller braid). Using a scale makes it simple!
Next, the balls of dough need to rolled out into ropes. The book specifies the lengths you need, so a ruler comes in handy at this stage. The larger pieces are rolled to about 9 inches long, while the smaller pieces are about 7 inches long. As you can see, the ropes are thicker in the middle and tapered at the ends. This technique is what helps to form a nice looking braided loaf that is thicker in the center and tapered at the ends.
And now for the braiding. Just like for the challah, I started my braid in the middle and worked out to each end. There are detailed instructions for braiding on page 84 of The Bread Baker's Apprentice.
After you have braided both the large rope and the small ones, you will place the small braid on top of the large one, making sure it is centered.
Next, brush the entire loaf with an egg wash and let it proof (rise) uncovered at room temperature for about an hour and a half, or until the loaf nearly doubles in size.
After it has doubled, the loaf is carefully brushed with a second egg wash.
Finally, it is baked at 325 degrees for 50-55 minutes, until the loaf is a deep golden brown and sounds hollow when it is tapped on the bottom of the loaf. The internal temperature should be between 185 and 190 degrees. Kind of looks like a roast bird from this angle, doesn't it?
Although I accidentally baked mine for about ten minutes too long because I forgot to set the timer for an additional five minutes and then got distracted by twitter for fifteen minutes, I was really pleased with this bread!
Like many of the others participating in this challenge, I'm ready for a break from sweet breads and was kind of dreading making another one. But this bread was both beautiful and delicious! And pulling such an amazing loaf of bread from the oven really did fill me with a sense of accomplishment.
I'm glad that I decided to use the tart dried cherries and pecans in this bread, they worked really well together. One thing I might change if I make this bread again is the fruit/nut ratio. I think it could have used a little less dried fruit and perhaps a handful of extra nuts. I think I'll save the cranberry walnut version for Thanksgiving, it will be perfect for leftover turkey sandwiches!
Interested in making this bread? The recipe can be found on page 154 of Peter Reinhart's amazing book, The Bread Baker's Apprentice.
For those of you who are participating in The BBA Challenge, here are some questions: How did you like the Celebration Bread? What type of fruit or nuts did you use? Did you shape it into the double braid or did you choose a different shape? Would you make it again?
And remember, if you wrote a blog post about the Celebration Bread, or have photos available online, please leave a comment and share your link!
The Next Bread
Next we will be making English Muffins! It will be nice to have a break from sweet breads for a little while and I love homemade English Muffins!! The English Muffins are different from the other breads we've made so far because they are 'baked' on a griddle, rather than in the oven. The instructions begin on page 157 of The Bread Baker's Apprentice. Good luck and happy baking!
Want to Bake Along With Us?
There are several ways for you to join in the fun! First of all, you need a copy of Peter Reinhart's The Bread Baker's Apprentice.

Hi Nicole- Beautiful pics & the cherry & walnut combo looks deelish. I really LOVED this bread. Here is the link to my post: http://www.bellalimento.com/2009/07/24/cranberry-walnut-celebration-bread1:12 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Credit to you for getting it to turn out right. Mine I only ended up with the 3 10 ounce strands but I really did not care for the bread so I was ehh on redoing it solely for picture purposes.
From here on out on breads that incorporate berries or nuts into the mixture I am not doing them in the Kitchen Aid. Every time I drop them into the mixing bowl they end up out of the bowl and I spend the next week finding walnut pieces in weird spots.
On to the next week 🙂1:14 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Gorgeous Nicole! Looks perfect. I really liked this one. I plan on making this for Thanksgiving but into rolls instead of a loaf. I'm also going to cut back on the fruit. It was a little to fruit-heavy for my tastes. All in all, though, it was delicious!
Also, thanks for linking to my post!
Kelly1:19 pm Aug 12th, 2009
What an absolutely beautiful loaf and I love the cherries and pecans you chose.1:55 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Brava to you for trying this out – it looks so professional.
This turned out just lovely! We enjoyed this bread quite a bit and did a combo of dried cherries and dried cranberries along with the walnuts. I agree with you that increasing the nuts and decreasing the dried fruit would be a good idea. If I were to make this again I would skip the braids and go loaf style as I think it would be easier to eat as breakfast toast in that shape. (Also, with a dark finish my braids just didn't look very pretty.)2:00 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Hi Nicole,2:39 pm Aug 12th, 2009
This looks delicious! Have you ever tried Dove Chocolate Promises with Peanut Butter? Dove Chocolate's new Peanut Butter Promises are delicious, silky, smooth and heavenly! For more information, check out http://bit.ly/Vamtb
Nicole, as always, GREAT photos! You make me want to bake this bread all over again. (almost!) My experience wasn't quite so successful as my bread over proofed in a too warm kitchen but I learned a lesson to watch my bread and not the clock!
My less than stellar experience can be found at http://tinyurl.com/mmu6ky
I loved the English Muffins, French Bread & Italian bread and will be tackling the Kaiser Rolls this week.
Deb3:05 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Gosh, this is a nice bread. I bookmarked it. Great photos.3:11 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Nicole~ awesome bread! Thanks for getting this challenge going…I've learned so much! French bread dough is proofing and I'm gearing up to be brave on the slashes…
Here's my celebration bread post…I made mini loaves using the single braid technique.

This is beautiful and doesn't look too difficult. I think I will try it out. Although, I may try it with dried cranberries.4:00 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Hey Nicole, thanks again for including a link to my bread in your post! Your bread looks lovely, and I am quite jealous of how nicely it rose for you. So pretty!4:11 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Thanks for including my link. My creature from under the stove was tasty just not too pretty! Yours looks perfect…Happy baking! (As always thanks. :o)4:34 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Okay, let's make a deal. I will bake vicariously through you by channeling good baking thoughts, then you send me the baked goods. How is this not a win-win?5:32 pm Aug 12th, 2009
That loaf is beautiful Nicole! Great job!5:59 pm Aug 12th, 2009
That double loaf is just gorgeous, Nicole!6:07 pm Aug 12th, 2009
What a beautiful bread. The tart cherries and pecans sound devine. My sister brings me dried cherries down from Michigan when she visits. She gets them in bulk. I can't get any around here that taste as good. This bread would be so good for breakfast mmm…
Wish I could bake.7:49 pm Aug 12th, 2009
Wow, how gorgeous. That braid looks great, and the egg wash certainly made the crust look so deliciously golden-brown. So jealous!5:04 am Aug 13th, 2009
Absolutely beautiful!! Cherries are undoubtedly one of my favorite dried fruits. Love the extra flavor they bring!
Thanks for documenting the braiding process as well – fantastic pictures!! 🙂6:36 am Aug 13th, 2009
I always love your step-by-step pictures and instructions! You make this wonderful bread look easy! Beautiful!8:50 am Aug 13th, 2009
People seem to be divided on how much they like this bread. I, for one, loved it. One of my favorite lunches is a cranberry-nut bread, cheese, and fruit plate from Starbucks . . . and it comes with a substantial price tag. But I love it, so I indulge myself periodically. My only complaint with Starbucks' plate is that the bread is frequently a little dry. So, it was with an improved Starbucks' bread in mind that I made this bread. Not being a fan of walnuts (too bitter for me), I added pecans. Then, in quest of my imagined bread and not wanting another huge loaf, I formed my bread into three batards. At the completion of baking and waiting (the worst thing of all!), I took a bit of my first slice . . . with the requisite variety of cheese (brie, smoked gouda, extra sharp cheddar, muenster, Dubliner) and fruit (a few purple grapes and orange and apple slices) . . . and knew that I had surpassed my expectations. Absolutely loved the bread! And so did the friends who received the second loaf. I will definitely be baking this bread again . . . goodbye Starbucks!10:48 am Aug 13th, 2009
That is the best bread baking tutorial that I have ever seen! I might even attempt this one. Maybe.2:35 pm Aug 13th, 2009
I'm guilty of skipping over this one. I just didn't have room for another loaf of sweet bread in my freezer! Kudos to you for sticking it out. And might I add that you did a fantastic job. Lovely bread Nicole.5:50 pm Aug 13th, 2009
It does look a little like a roast chicken!! Beautiful step by step photos.7:15 pm Aug 13th, 2009
Wow Nicole…incredible how you make these beautiful creations. That bread looks not only yummy but just like a center piece for a big holiday meal or something. 🙂8:23 pm Aug 13th, 2009
This looks delicious. Love the color of the bread!6:00 am Aug 14th, 2009
Gorgeous photos! The mise shot especially warms the cockles of my Type A heart.
I am on a cherry-pecan bender of sorts after doing an Alice Medrich cookie recipe with them. It really is perfect!10:05 am Aug 14th, 2009
This is a beautiful loaf of bread – wow!11:56 am Aug 14th, 2009
That is so beautiful, and includes my favorite things! I cant wait to make this at the holidays, along with maybe a cranberry walnut one, you've got me thinking!8:23 pm Aug 15th, 2009
That looks fabulous, Nicole! I love how there are so many different breads in this book and how baking them alphabetically gives us a nice variety.11:14 am Aug 16th, 2009
oh my gosh, that bread is gorgeous! I know you said you baked it a tad too long but I love the deep color. I bet it's delicious and I can't wait until I finally get around to making it!4:07 pm Aug 16th, 2009
I hear you on being ready for a break from the celebration breads! Yours came out lovely, though. I made mine a couple weeks ago, but forgot to post any links to it. Here it is: http://grongar.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/cranberry-walnut-celebration-bread-bba-challenge-bread-11/.5:45 pm Aug 17th, 2009

Hey Nicole,
Fantastic looking bread. And with cherries! They rival cranberries in my book. Thank you so much for including a link to my bread, even though it came out all toppled! And thanks again for leading the Challenge!1:39 am Aug 20th, 2009
what a beautiful bread. I like the idea of adding cherries. Thanks again for starting the challenge. I enjoy doing it and learn more every week. 🙂11:32 am Aug 25th, 2009

I made this on the weekend. I was going to skip it and wait for Thanksgiving (not another fruit bread…) but decided to bake it and am so glad I did. This loaf was wonderful. I had a mix of cranberries and raisins (didn't have enough cranberries), as well as walnuts. It was so easy to make and looked gorgeous (and yes, rather like a roasted bird!). I took it to my son's soccer game and it got eaten by the parents who were raving about it. Definitely one to repeat!8:30 pm Apr 20th, 2010
It would have been nice if you had posted the recipe. At first I thought it was because you took it from a book but it is freely available on the web elsewhere. Would have saved me having to search for it.12:30 pm Sep 19th, 2011

Ohio State has recruited some of the best young talent in the country in the era of modern college football, and it shows in the trophy case.
But since scouting services like Rivals, Scout and 247Sports have reached the public, there is a way for fans to gauge how good a player could be before he makes it to the college level.
Whether the player lives up to that hype is a different story.
But it's the hype machine that makes recruiting exciting.
So which Ohio State players were the most hyped coming in?
Here is the all-recruit team for the Buckeyes.

Zduriencik meeting with A's bench coach Chip Hale
Jack Zduriencik has spent the past three weeks putting together his list of managerial candidates to replace Eric Wedge and now things will begin heating up, with A's bench coach Chip Hale among the first to meet with the Mariners general manager.
Zduriencik is in Arizona for the remainder of this week and was scheduled to meet with Hale on Wednesday, as first reported by Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com. Hale, 48, has worked as Bob Melvin's top assistant the past two years in Oakland and lives in Tucson, Ariz.
Zduriencik will be having initial talks with a number of people in Phoenix this week, some serious candidates and some just for background purposes as the hiring process heats up. Zduriencik is expected to talk to some internal candidates in the Mariners organization as well.
Hale was an infielder with the Twins and Dodgers from 1989-97 before getting into coaching. He spent six seasons as a Minor League manager in the D-backs organization and earned Pioneer League and Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year awards before joining Bob Melvin's staff as the third base coach and infield coach in Arizona from 2007-09.
He then spent two years as the Mets third base coach in 2010-11 before rejoining Melvin's staff in Oakland the past two years.
Hale is regarded in baseball circles as one of the up-and-coming managerial prospects in the game as a young, energetic candidate who is detail-oriented and good with the media. He's obviously familiar with the American League West from his time with the A's and has worked with some very successful teams, including the National League West champion D-backs in 2007 and the AL West champion A's the past two years.
Hale interviewed with the Mariners in 2008 when they hired Don Wakamatsu and has also been a contender for several other openings in recent years.
The Mariners are expected to extend their hiring process into early November, after the conclusion of the World Series. Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo is among a lengthy list of candidates that has been mentioned, but he has made it known he doesn't want to talk with any suitors until his team is done playing.
Dodgers third base coach Tim Wallach, Tigers hitting coach and former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon, Giants bench coach Ron Wotus, former White Sox and Marlins bench coach Joey Cora and current Mariners front-office member Ted Simmons are among the potential candidates, though other names likely will emerge as the process plays out.
There are currently four Major League teams looking for new managers – the Cubs, Nationals, Tigers and Mariners — with the Reds having just promoted pitching coach Bryan Price to replace Dusty Baker.
It'll be interesting to see what direction the Mariners go. While many fans clamor for familiar names like Baker, the current trend could lean more toward giving lesser-known candidates a chance, given Mike Matheny and John Farrell have led the Cardinals and Red Sox into this year's World Series. MLB.com columnist Anthony Castrovince had a good take on that earlier this week in looking at all the openings around baseball.

Sounds like a problem with your Orion AND perhaps the Daiwa switch. Open the Daiwa and check for carbon arcing or deposits on the contacts. I had a similar problem three years ago and the problem was found inside the Daiwa switch. Since it also appears with the coax directly to the Orion, be sure your don't have the "Tune" engaged on the Orion.

The vice presidential debate is this evening. When the subject of foreign policy comes up, we can expect the candidates to compete to see who has the best plan to get us even more deeply bogged down in the Mideast.
I was discussing this the other day with one of the few Americans who actually understands that part of the world. That's former CIA agent Bob Baer. He spent a good part of the 1980s knocking around Syria and Lebanon.
It's hard for most Americans to understand just who's fighting whom in the Mideast and what they're fighting about. Baer came up with the most lucid explanation I've ever heard.
You know that wedding in Philadelphia that degenerated into a massive brawl and went viral on YouTube? That's the Mideast in miniature, Baer said.
As for the recent call by Mitt Romney for the United States to start arming one of the sides in the Syrian civil war, here's how Baer assesses it:
"Its like a barroom brawl and he's saying, 'I've got an idea. Let's throw some baseball bats in and hope that it goes better.' "
The Democrats aren't much better in that regard, he said. The Obama administration is tacitly encouraging the rebels. It doesn't seem to occur to either party that perhaps the solution in Syria might be less violence, not more.
It occurs to Baer, however. That Syrian rebellion actually began 30 years ago when the Muslim Brotherhood took the city of Hama. This city was an architectural treasure, with buildings that dated to the Roman empire. But the buildings were leveled in the fighting. Baer recalls strolling through blocks of historic structures that stood for a couple millennia, but were lost in this family feud.
"If you want my personal opinion, I think it's a horrible thing that Aleppo is going to be flattened as well," Baer added.
Aleppo has been occupied for 8,000 years, but already, some of the historic buildings have been destroyed as the Assad regime fights a coalition that includes the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical groups.
The Syrian Christian community, which dates to the time of Christ, has taken the side of the regime. Expect massive revenge killings of Christians if Assad falls, Baer said. These family disputes can get ugly.
So just why are both tickets eager to keep the brawl going? Baer likes to use the term "lack of adult supervision." So do I. We're both old enough to remember when the country was run by adults who used restraint in foreign affairs.
Dwight Eisenhower presented perhaps the best example during the Suez crisis of 1956. The British and French were watching their empires fall apart. They decided to compensate by taking the Suez Canal from Egypt. Ike fired off a message to the Brits stating that "to resort to military action when the world believes there are other means available would set in motion forces that could lead to the most distressing results."
The British and French invaded anyway, in the process almost starting a war with the Soviet Union. Ike kept a cool head and helped broker a deal that ended the occupation.
These days, a guy like that would be called a coward by the so-called "neo" conservatives who have led us into one debacle after another. That's what happened to Ronald Reagan when he "cut and ran" — as the neocons put it — from Lebanon after the bombing of the Marine barracks in 1983.
And that's what's happening now. History repeats itself in that part of the world. The British and French are once again trying to get us to follow their lead, this time in widening the Syria war. The other day, Romney charged that Obama "failed to lead" by not following them.
Obama did, in fact, fail to lead, but not in the way Romney meant it. He failed to lead by not following Ike's example and keeping us out of a brawl that's none of our business.
You won't be hearing that sort of thing from Joe Biden and Paul Ryan this evening. Expect the same promises that we'll keep meddling in the Mideast and that it will finally work out.
But if you want real insight into the Mideast, here's my advice: Go to YouTube and watch that wedding video instead.
ALSO: Here's a piece by two writers associated with the libertarian cato Institute on the HuffPo making a similar point concerning the strange consensus between the two campaigns on the neocon approach to foreign policy:
President Barack Obama's decision to intervene last year in the Libyan civil injected America into an already unstable region. A year later, reports suggest that operatives linked to al Qaeda remain active. Armed militias have detained thousands of former regime loyalists and engaged inwidespread torture. The country's instability has since spilled into neighboring states. Moreover, Obama's unilateral decision to intervene contravened the Constitution and congressional war powers. Despite overthrowing a dictator, the fact that our ambassador still became a target only reinforces the argument that Washington should not have intervened where America had no vital interests at stake.
But rather than criticize Obama for a military action that advanced no important strategic interests and demonstrated the limitations of American leadership, Romney -- perplexingly -- is advocating an even more interventionist foreign policy. No wonder a Pew Research Center Poll last month found that the public believes Obama outstrips Romney in terms of "good judgment in a crisis" and "making wise decisions in foreign policy." Just as Romney correctly observed that "hope is not a strategy," neither is Romney's appeal to strength, manliness, and other nebulous traits. As Washington Times reporter Stephen Dinan recently pointed out about Romney, "[E]ven some Republicans have questioned how his tougher talk translates into specific policies."

OK, CoachG & Eva have it right about the water vapor rising as it heats, but if the damaged are is placed lower than the vent, and any pressure at all develops inside the board, or better still keep the vent closed, and the internal pressure will push the water out at the intrusion site.
Once no more liquid water drips out, THEN keep the intrusion site up above the vent.
Actually, since the intrusion site is on the rail, just putting the board on a slight angle with the intrusion site lower, and the vent plug sealed should help push any liquid out.
Then, when only worried about water vapor, leave the vent plug out with a paper towel wick pushed down in the vent hole and the board basically flat rail to rail.

Midway run the Gauntlet with Romero
We heard quite some time back that John Romero (of the Doom fame) was working on a new edition of the Gauntlet series at Midway, and now we know that he is for certain - because the US developer / publisher have told us. Midway's San Diego studio will be the site of the development with Icewind Dal's Josh Sawyer also joining Romero at the head of the project. Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows will be heading to the PS2, Xbox and PC in the winter.
Players of the new Gaunlet with lead four adventurers in a fantasy world fraught with danger, and being torn apart by the magical machinations of a powerful emperor who isn't exactly harbouring the murder of his great lover with much dignity. The gameplay sounds a bit like Dungeon Siege, with hack-n-slash fighting joined by "lite" RPG elements. As well as an involving singleplayer aspect, we're promised co-op and a full online mode. More on this at E3 in May.. probably.

• Saturday's referee is Mike Dean.
• Select Group official Dean, 44, took charge of just one West Ham United fixture last season - the 2-0 npower Championship victory at Middlesbrough on 29 November 2011.
• The previous campaign, Dean was the man in the middle for six Hammers fixtures - most notably the 3-2 Barclays Premier League defeat at Wigan Athletic on 15 May that confirmed the club's relegation. That season, the experienced referee also took charge of West Ham's 3-0 opening-day defeat at today's opponents Aston Villa. In all, Dean has taken charge of 29 West Ham fixtures.
• Dean refereed Aston Villa just once last term - a 1-1 home draw with Stoke City on 9 April 2012 - but has taken charge of the Midlands side 28 times during his career.
• He began refereeing in 1985, starting out his career in senior football in the Northern Premier League.
• In 2004, Dean took charge of his first international match, a friendly between the Netherlands and Republic of Ireland at Amsterdam Arena. That same year, he took control of the FA Community Shield between Arsenal and Manchester United.
• In May 2006, he refereed the Championship play-off final between Leeds United and Watford at the Millennium Stadium. In 2008, he was in charge for the FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Cardiff City at Wembley Stadium.
Team news
• As many as nine players could make their competitive debuts for their respective new clubs at the Boleyn Ground this weekend - Jussi Jaaskelainen, Stephen Henderson, Mohamed Diame, Alou Diarra and Modibo Maiga for West Ham United and Matthew Lowton, Ron Vlaar, Karim El Ahmadi and Brett Holman for Aston Villa.
• Jack Collison is unlikely to play after failing to feature in any of the Hammers pre-season games as he continues to manage his long-term knee issues. However, captain Kevin Nolan is hoping to return after missing the final pre-season match at SC Braga with a toe problem suffered at Colchester United last month.
• France midfielder Alou Diarra is yet to make an appearance for the Hammers, having signed on the day of the final pre-season game in Braga. However, he has trained with his new team-mates all week and could be named in the matchday squad.
Old boys
• Among the other players who have represented both clubs are Billy Askew, Alan Curbishley, Mervyn Day, Marlon Harewood, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Ray Houghton, David James, Fred Norris, Nigel Reo-Coker, Tony Scott, Les Sealey, Nolberto Solano, Tommy Southren, David Unsworth and Phil Woosnam.
General Information
• Fewer than 1,000 tickets for Saturday's season-opener are still available and can be purchased online here.
• The weather forecast for Saturday is for sunny intervals with a maximum temperature of 27C (81F).
• There are no planned engineering works on the London Underground this weekend.

Lifeboats News Release
Lowestoft to receive new RNLI Shannon class lifeboat
Lowestoft has been chosen as the home for the first Shannon class RNLI lifeboat in East Anglia, following an RNLI coast review.
A £1.5m Shannon class lifeboat will be paid for by an extremely generous legacy gift from Mrs Patsy Knight. She left the RNLI a legacy worth around £1.3 million, requesting that it be left for the benefit of Lowestoft Station - and the RNLI decided to use it to fund a lifeboat for Lowestoft.
Mrs Knight, who died in May 2005, aged 63, had a great admiration and respect for the RNLI and its volunteer crews. She watched the lifeboat and her crew every time they were out either on service or exercising from where she lived in Kessingland. At the time she read in her local newspaper that the station would need a new lifeboat sometime in the future and she decided that she would like to leave some money in her will to Lowestoft station.
The new lifeboat will be named Patsy Knight in memory of Mrs Knight.
Family friend and executor Mrs Hilary Watts said: 'Patsy had a great love of Lowestoft and being near the seaside since she was a child, she wanted to give something back to the town, the people and its visitors. So an inheritance gift to the RNLI for a new lifeboat was her way of making sure everyone could benefit, especially as the gift could be a gift of life.'
RNLI Income and Legacy Manager Sue Fernley said: 'This is an especially generous gift for which we are truly grateful – as we are for all legacy gifts – no matter how large or small – whether they help towards a boat or protective boots – they all help our volunteers crews and lifeguards stay as safe as possible while saving lives.'
Lowestoft RNLI Coxswain Mechanic John Fox said: 'It is a great honour for Lowestoft to be receiving one of the first Shannon class lifeboats in the RNLI. We are all really pleased at the station and very grateful to Hilary for all her hard work as executor to Mrs Knight's will and being a good friend to the station.'
The Shannon has been designed in-house by RNLI naval architects who have harnessed cutting-edge technology to ensure the new lifeboat meets the demands of a 21st century rescue service and allow the charity's volunteer crew to do their lifesaving work as safely as possible in all weather conditions.
The new lifeboat features twin water jets instead of conventional propellers, allowing it to operate in shallow waters and be highly manoeuvrable – giving the crew greater control when alongside other craft and in confined waters. The water jets also reduce the risk of damage to the lifeboat during launch and recovery, or when intentionally beached. It will be the first RNLI all-weather lifeboat to run on water jets instead of propellers.
Its seats are designed to protect the crew members' spines as much as possible from the forces of the sea in rough weather. Additionally the Shannon incorporates SIMS (System and Information Management System) which allows the crew to monitor the lifeboat from the safety of their seats, again reducing the likelihood of injury to the volunteer crew members during search and rescue operations.
With a top speed of 25 knots, the Shannon is faster than its predecessor - the current Tyne class lifeboat based at Lowestoft, which is capable of 17 knots. The introduction of the Shannon will be the first step in enabling the RNLI to fulfil its operation commitment to ensure that all its operational all-weather lifeboats have a top speed of 25 knots - a crucial factor when lives are at risk.
The Shannon can be launched and recovered from beaches independent of slipways and harbours and a new RNLI tractor and carriage is also being developed to accompany the Shannon.
Like all RNLI all-weather lifeboats, the Shannon is self-righting and it will return to an upright position in the event of a capsize during extreme weather or sea conditions.
The new class of lifeboat will undergo full sea trials later this year, with the first operational Shannon class lifeboats going on station in 2013.
Notes to editors:

A drawing showing what the Shannon will look like.
• *The Shannon class lifeboat was previously designated the Fast Carriage Boat 2 (FCB2).
• The newest class of RNLI lifeboat has been named the Shannon. It follows a 45-year tradition of naming the charity's lifeboats after rivers or stretches of water. It will be the first time that the name of a river in Ireland has been used. (The River Shannon is 386km (240 miles) in length and is the longest river in Ireland).
• The current RNLI all-weather lifeboat classes are the Severn, Tamar, Tyne, Trent and Mersey.
• Previous RNLI all-weather lifeboat classes include the Arun, Brede, Clyde, Medina, Mersey, Rother, Severn, Solent, Tamar, Tyne, Thames, Trent and Waveney.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. Our volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland from 237 lifeboat stations, including four along the River Thames and inland lifeboat stations at Loch Ness, Lough Derg, Enniskillen and Lough Ree. Additionally the RNLI has more than 1,000 lifeguards on over 180 beaches around the UK and operates a specialist flood rescue team, which can respond anywhere across the UK and Ireland when inland flooding puts lives at risk.
The RNLI relies on public donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. As a charity it is separate from, but works alongside, government-controlled and funded coastguard services. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824 our lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved at least 140,000 lives. Volunteers make up 95% of the charity, including 4,600 volunteer lifeboat crew members and 3,000 volunteer shore crew. Additionally, tens of thousands of other dedicated volunteers raise funds and awareness, give safety advice, and help in our museums, shops and offices.
