The Internet domain name for a country doesn't belong to that country -- nor to anyone, according to ICANN.
Plaintiffs who successfully sued Iran, Syria and North Korea as sponsors of terrorism want to seize the three countries' ccTLDs (country code top-level domains) as part of financial judgments against them. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which oversees the Internet, says they can't do that because ccTLDs aren't even property.
After the plaintiffs filed papers to ICANN seeking the handover of the domains, the organization said it sympathized with their underlying claims but filed a motion on Tuesday to quash the attempted seizure.
A ccTLD is the two-letter code at the end of a country-specific Internet address, such as .us for the U.S. or .cn for China. There are more than 280 of them, all of which need to have managers, administrative contacts and technical contacts who live in the countries they represent. The domains in this case are .ir for Iran and .sy for Syria, plus Arabic script equivalents for each, and .kp for North Korea.
But the domains aren't property and don't belong to the countries they point to, ICANN said. Instead, they're more like postal codes, "simply the provision of routing and administrative services for the domain names registered within that ccTLD," which are what let users go to websites and send to email addresses under those domains, ICANN wrote. If ICANN stepped in and reassigned the domains on its own, that would disrupt everyone who uses a domain name that ends in those codes, including individuals, businesses and charitable organizations, the group said.
"Forced re-delegation of these ccTLDs would destroy whatever value may exist in these ccTLDs, would wipe out the hundreds of thousands of domain name registrations in the ccTLDs, and could lead to fragmentation of the Internet," ICANN wrote in its motion. It doesn't even have the technical capability to do what the plaintiffs ask, the group said.
ICANN actually manages Internet addresses under a contract with the U.S. Department of Commerce, and that contract doesn't allow it to reassign ccTLDs on its own, though it can make recommendations, the organization said.
Though ICANN is based in Washington, D.C., and incorporated in California, it was formed in 1998 as an independent body to shift control of the Internet away from the U.S. government. Since then, under a "multi-stakeholder approach," it's moved to spread out responsibility for the global network to other people around the world who have an interest in it. The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration is scheduled to end its oversight of ICANN in September 2015.
"Rules for evaluating and certifying ccTLD managers have been established by processes, standards and principles developed by the Internet community," ICANN wrote.
ICANN said it has had "very little interaction" with the managers of the three domains, and all those communications have been technical, involving activation of servers or changes in contact information.
Iran's domains are managed by the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences, in Tehran, and hosted on two servers somewhere in Iran and one apparently in Austria, ICANN said. Syria's are managed by the National Agency for Network Services, in Damascus, and hosted on four servers. "Two servers appear to be physically located somewhere in Syria and it is unclear where the other two are located," ICANN wrote.
North Korea's domain is managed by the Star Joint Venture Company, in Pyongyang, and hosted on two servers, both of which appear to be in North Korea.

'Paranormal Activity' – are you a fan?
The latest "Paranormal Activity" hit screens earlier this month. Have you caught up with the fifth movie in the series?
I love horror movies, and the original "Paranormal Activity" is one of my favorites. I've seen all of the "Paranormal Activity" films, but I haven't loved any of the sequel/prequels as much as I loved the original (although the third movie offered some hard-to-forget scenes).
The trailers for "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" make it seem like this one isn't really connected to the original films, except that a young man, Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) is haunted by the same supernatural problems that plagued Katie and her family in the previous films.
And that's true – Jesse starts experiencing some crazy scary and unbelievable paranormal, well, activity, after his downstairs neighbor, the mysterious Anna (Gloria Sandoval), is murdered. Like all of the "Paranormal Activity" films, "The Marked Ones" is also based on "found footage," so some of the scares feel very familiar.
And that's how much of "The Marked Ones" felt – kind of like deja vu. I wasn't taken with much of the film, but I absolutely loved the ending. If you're a fan of the first three, you'll love the ending. A cool ending doesn't make up for a boring movie, but I still love this series.
I don't want to spoil you, and I'll try not to, so I'll label this as a big fat spoiler: it is very, very cool to go back and watch the first movie (especially the first movie's ending) after you see "The Marked Ones." That's all I'll say.
Spoilers over!
If you've seen "The Marked Ones," what did you think?

Pediatric cardiac surgery teams now may have a new tool in their arsenal to prevent brain injury in children who undergo surgery for congenital heart defects.
Current statistics show that the incidence of brain injury during pediatric heart surgery is between 30 and 70 percent. Before now, there were few options available to the surgical team to evaluate and assess brain injury while it was occurring during surgery. The test, the hemoglobin volume index, allows the doctors to detect change in brain blood flow.
The test was developed by a team which was headed up by R. Blaine Easley, MD, associate professor of anesthesiology and pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. The test utilizes a small amount of blood to detect injury to brain tissue.
In conjunction, an auto-regulation monitoring test was also developed to monitor brain blood flow in pediatric patients during surgery.
The test was designed around a correlation the team found between auto-regulatory changes in the brain and the almost concurrently occurring signs of brain injury.
Based on that discovery, the team was able to develop the real-time monitoring test, so that injury could be detected as it is occurring. The clinical and therapeutic significance of that is that doctors may now be able to better manage patients through more aggressive control of blood pressure during surgery.The decline in arterial blood flow in the brain may signal areas of brain tissue are not receiving adequate blood to maintain healthy brain tissue.

"Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ingnorance)," directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, has been selected as the Closing Night screening of the upcoming New York Film Festival, announced the Film Society of Lincoln Center today. This comes in addition to previous announcements that the festival will open with the premiere of David Fincher's "Gone Girl" and feature Paul Thomas Anderson's "Inherent Vice" as its centerpiece.
READ MORE: P.T. Anderson's 'Inherent Vice' will have World Premiere at New York Film Festival
"Birdman" appropriately stars Michael Keaton as a once-famous actor known for playing the eponymous superhero, and who copes with his unwelcome fall from popularity while trying to resurrect the character on stage.
"'Birdman' is a knockout," said festival director Kent Jones. "It's consistently surprising and inventive — you think the movie is going in one direction and then Iñárritu shifts gears and takes you somewhere else completely unexpected: the movie is like an intricate machine generating greater and greater amounts of beautiful radiant energy. The entire cast is amazing and they mesh perfectly, but I have to say that Michael Keaton is astonishing. He's always been a terrific and, in my opinion, underrated actor. Here he gets the role he deserves, and he makes the most of it. And, it's a great Broadway movie."

The always reliable Iñárritu, the man behind "Babel" and "Amores Perros," directed the picture, which stars Emma Stone, Ed Norton, Naomi Watts and Zach Galifianikis alongside Keaton.
The New York Film Festival will span 17 days this October. Tickets for the festival will go on sale September 7 to the general public and on July 31 to Film Society members. Fox Searchlight and Regency produced "Birdman."

Apartment dwellers should allow their personal taste to shine in decor
Nov 11 2011
Apartment dwellers should allow their personal interests to show in their home designs.
By making seasonal changes in accent pillows and collectibles, the look of an apartment can take on a new look throughout the year.
"The idea is to create a home that is an expression of your inner being, so every time you step inside, it will really feel like you are coming home," advises RentalDecorating.com.
The kind of window treatment chosen for an apartment also needs to take into consideration the lighting needs of a smaller space. But apartment dwellers don't have to skimp on style when they choose a classic look like roman shades for their window coverings.
The selection of roman shades from Blinds Chalet come in a wide range of fabrics that have a softer look that works best in a residential setting. A current closeout sale on selected roman shades allows consumers a free set for every three sets of shades purchased.
Stylish window coverings are also a good investment because they can be taken along when it's time to move into a new apartment or house.

You can use any pic hex.They work for all models.You only have to look for the bootloader, led and mhz frequence to match with your chip.
So the hex for 2550 can be used on a 2450,4450,4550 and all the same models from this series.The only differend is they use more/less storage, ram and cpu speed.

The important things with the PIC boards is to get one with the correct LED location compiled. You can change the clock speed and enable or disable MCLR yourself with PICFLASH. So if your board is 20Mhz Crystal, Bootloader, MCLR with the LED on RC0 you need to find one that fits as many of those criteria as possible. I had similar problems but I just needed one with Bootloader and LED on RC0 and then used PICFLASH to change it to have MCLR enabled and 20Mhz clock speed.

A cat had to have a leg amputated after getting it caught in a trap near Oswestry.
Staff at Oakwood Veterinary Centre at Babbinswood, near Whittington, have launched an appeal find the owner of the cat – and today also voiced their concerns about the use of traps.
They say the badly injured female cat would have endured an agonising death if a villager had not brought the animal in for emergency treatment.
Vets at the surgery had no choice but to amputate the cat's left front leg after it got caught in the trap, which staff say was likely put down to catch rats.
The black cat was brought into the surgery on Thursday.
Staff member Helen Jones said: "A lady who lives near the surgery noticed this little cat which she did not recognise.
"The cat then turned around and the lady noticed the cat's leg was caught in a trap, similar to a rat trap.
"She brought the cat in for us to have a look.
"Maggots were running all the way up the leg, it was in a dreadful mess and the only thing we could do to save the cat was to amputate.
"If the cat had not been brought to us and we were not able to treat her it would have been an awful death because the injuries these traps can cause are terrible.
"The consequences for animals if they get caught in traps can be devastating.
"The cat did have a collar but was not microchipped.
"She is not particularly old but she may have been a stray for some time. It is difficult to say how long she may have been missing.
"We would like the owner to come forward so they can be reunited.
"The owner would know the colour of the collar so they can prove the cat is their's," she added.
"She is a lovely little thing and very friendly but she was in a terrible mess when she came in.
"It was a dreadful open wound caused by the trap.
"Flies soon go to a wound in this warm weather and it does not take long for maggots to infest the damaged limb.
"Cats do well even on three legs and we are hoping she will be on the mend soon after suffering this terrible injury.
"We have made inquiries locally but nobody seems to be missing a cat, but we would love to reunite her with her owner."
The incident is the second time in a month that a cat in Shropshire required emergency treatment after getting caught in a trap.
Earlier this month a pet cat called Gizmo had to have a leg amputated after getting it trapped.
His owners Hilda and John Bromley said they though Gizmo was caught in a farmer's rabbit trap in a field in Tilley, near Wem.
Olivia Halligan, a veterinary surgeon at Barclay-Moore Partnership in Wem, performed the operation to remove Gizmo's back leg.
She said it was one of the worst injuries she has seen in 12 years as a vet.

people are so cruel they must enjoy the fact that these poor animals suffer, all traps should be banned and people caught putting traps out should get a hefty sentence, I hope this kitty heals very quickly and you find the owner quickly ,i will be keeping an eye on her progress and am very tempted to adopt if owner not found, a play mate for my little Sammy who is the spitting image, I think they would get on well together, well done to the vet, carers and the lady who saved her wish there was more people like yourselves in this evil world x

Robust face tracking, feature extraction and multimodal fusion for audio-visual speech recognition and visual attention modeling in complex environment
Human communication is a combination of speech and non-verbal behavior. A significant part of the non-verbal information is contained in face movements and expressions. Therefore, a major step in the automatic analysis of human communication is the location and tracking of human faces. In this project, we will first tackle the problem of robust face tracking, that is, the continuous estimation of the head pose and of the facial animations in video sequences. Based on this first development, two subsequent workpackages will address important building blocks towards the automatic analysis of natural scenes, namely automatic audio-visual speech recognition and Visual Focus of Attention (VFOA) analysis. Both of them strongly rely on robust face tracking and therefore will directly exploit and benefit from the results of the first workpackage.

Surely there should be no surprise at all about Labour's latest breach of the rules on donating to political parties. After all, it's an easy thing to do. You want to give money to a political party but don't want to admit that you have done it, so what's the obvious thing to do? Give the money to someone else who then donates it on your behalf. It is so simple to do, and need only involve two people having knowledge of the arrangement. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that it has happened before and in other parties too.
What surprises me most of all though is how amateurish it has all been. The people picked to give the donations have no track record of donating to Labour, their lifestyles suggest that they wouldn't have that amount of money to give away, they told lots of people about the arrangement, and they were people who didn't know what to say when the media came knocking at the door. It is obvious to assume that journalists look at the list of large donors, and will be interested in any new names they haven't seen before. The amateurism of it then gets worse when Labour go on to say that they didn't know it was illegal, when anyone who has even the slightest involvement with reporting party donations will know that it is either (a) illegal, or (b) not in the spirit of the law, which should then make you check it with someone who does know the law.
But despite this, I do have some sympathy for David Abrahams when he says that people who want to donate to political parties these days are treated as if they are a criminal. The vast majority of donors give money to political parties because they support what that party stand for and want to help it be successful. It's all very honest and altruistic. Whilst I support the law as it stands, because transparency in politics is important, there is a logical argument that what people do with their own money is up to them and surely if you want to give money to a political party without everyone in the world knowing that it has come from you, is perfectly reasonable. In fact in the current case, there is no doubt that David Abrahams is a legitimate donor, it is just that he chosen to use an illegal way of giving the money so as to retain his privacy.
I have had discussions with non political activists who have said that every donation should be declared and go on the public record, no matter how large or small, just so that there is complete transparency. But it is worth remembering that the vast majority of donations are small and come from ordinary people who don't want to shout about their politics and live ordinary lives on a middle to low income. They could well be one of your next-door neighbours. Not only is it fair that people should be allowed to keep small donations private, but we also have to consider what lengths a party should have to go to, to check that a donation is legal? It is hard enough finding treasurers for all types of voluntary organisations, but if you strengthen the laws on donating to political parties even further, can you imagine how difficult it will be for local political parties to find anyone to do such an onerous and legally difficult job?
In this case, Labour made a stupid mistake, and one where it was easy for them to be caught. They should pay the penalty for that, but the latest scandal should not be an excuse for tightening up the donation rules even further.

With the Marquess Wilson fiasco hanging over the program, the Cougars made things worse by playing sloppy, uninspired football in the first half. Though WSU did mount a valiant comeback, it could be that the once-promising Mike Leach era in the Palouse is in peril. -- Chris Huston, CBSSports.com
The volume of errors overwhelmed what WSU did well in the game. The Cougars actually outgained the Bruins 457 to 261. – Chris Chancellor, Cougfan.com
After jumping out to a 30-point lead on the road against the Washington State Cougars, head coach Jim Mora watch his team squeak out a 44-36 win after the Cougars stormed back to score 29 second-half points. -- Kevin Gemmell, ESPN.com
The 17th-ranked UCLA Bruins were challenged but overcame Washington State, 44-36, late Saturday night at Martin Stadium. Not that it mattered. The Cougars' stirring comeback attempt was overshadowed by inflammatory comments made by all-time Cougars receiving leader Marquess Wilson. -- Howie Stalwick, The News Tribune
Forget about the Marquess Wilson saga. Washington State's special teams in Saturday's first half against UCLA might have been the biggest disaster of the evening. -- Christian Caple, Spokesman Review
Next at Washington State University: Empty Corpse Bobblehead Night. Having exhausted the giddy buzz of a rock-star hire, whatever "whoa" jolt was felt from his recent trashing of a few team elders and the gimmick of a toy handout at the turnstiles, the only promotional card left for the Cougars is to combine all three, no? -- John Blanchette, Spokesman Review
All week, we warned that this game could not be taken lightly. We warned that we could not look forward to that other school. We couldn't get caught up in our positive press. We were headed to the Palouse, where bad things happen, and it was fricking cold. -- BruinNation.com
Well, it figured that one of the weirdest weeks ever in Washington State football would be climaxed by a madcap finish. The Cougars came within an onside-kick recovery of having a shot of completely erasing a 30-point halftime deficit in their 44-36 loss to UCLA. -- Bud Withers, Seattle Times
UCLA does have an 8-2 record and it was ugly. In fact, if the Bruins were playing anyone else Saturday, they might be 7-3. -- Chris Foster, Los Angeles Times
After a quarter of lackluster play, UCLA ran up a two-digit lead and what looked like an easy win. After halftime, they almost gave it away. -- Jack Wang, The Sun

Peugeot 207
Most people buy the Peugeot 207 for its looks, but it's more than just a pretty face. …
Value for money is the most important weapon in the armoury of any city car, but the Kia Picanto offers impressive value even among its peers.
Prices are affordable, and for such a nominal outlay you'll get a car with an impressive load of equipment. And a surprsing amount of space.
There's plenty of room in any of the four seats, and six-footers will have no problem travelling in the back The five-door body style means easy access to the rear, and only the tiny boot limits its practicality. The dash is good, too: solidly built and logically laid out, even if the materials aren't particularly appealing.
If there is a problem, it's that the Picanto isn't a car for keen drivers. The engines are underpowered, there's too much body roll in corners and the steering is short of feel. The ride is a bit choppy, too, but for drivers who just want A-to-B city transport, it's fine.

TiroKart: the Total Immersion Remotely Operated Go-Kart
TiroKart: the Total Immersion Remotely Operated Go-Kart
This is a specification for what I am trying to achieve with this project:
* Off-road and racing go-kart adapted for computer control.
* Ruggedized on-board PC cluster runs the kart control software and interfaces to the steering, throttle and brake actuators along with the cameras and other sensors.
* Sensors on the kart include stereo cameras, rear view cameras, stereo microphones, GPS, lidar (for collision detection) and telemetry for the kart data (speed etc).
* Wireless data link (802.11n) back to the remote PC cluster.
* Completely separate RC-based remote control for emergency shutdown.
* Remote PC cluster runs the driver interface and performs high-level processing of the data from the kart – especially intelligent collision avoidance.
* Driver interface consists of a 3D stereo display integrating the camera streams from the kart and also a presentation of the data from the kart sensors including audio from the on-board microphones.
* Control is either via a joystick or a steering wheel and pedal setup.
* Semi-autonomous mode implements driver aids – track departure prevention, collision avoidance etc.
* Fully autonomous mode utilizes onboard sensors (GPS, lidar, IMU and vision) to navigate a defined track autonomously.
* Rocamo (the Robotic Camera Operator) is a small mobile robot that autonomously tracks the TiroKart while in operation and provides a video stream from the perspective of a chase vehicle.
* The goal is to be able to drive the kart around as though the driver was sitting in the kart (in a perfect world). The icing on the cake would be to be able to drive a racing go-kart around a track faster than it could go with a person on-board (the TiroKart at least has a big weight advantage!) .
Finally, the software, electronic and mechanical technologies developed during the project will be applied to productized robots to solve selected real world problems.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — On July 4th, while most of us were watching fireworks or flipping burgers on the grill, a fascinating story moved on Reuters.
Headlined "Emerging markets was a costly mistake — Goldman executive," it featured the views of Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, chief investment officer of Goldman Sachs' private wealth management group, which manages the money of the 1%. If you have to ask what the minimum account balance is, you can't afford it.
Mossavar-Rahmani was extraordinarily candid. "'Many investors and market commentators have been too euphoric about China over the last decade and this euphoria is finally abating,'" she said in the Reuters piece. "'Many just followed the herd into emerging markets and over-allocated to many of the key countries."
Followed the herd? Who led the charge?
Why, Goldman Sachs GS +1.52% , of course, which helped create emerging markets fever.
Read Gold's piece on how U.S. investors went gaga for emerging markets in MoneyShow.
On Nov. 30, 2001, economist Jim O'Neill in Goldman's London office published a paper entitled "Building Better Global Economic BRICs."
It said the four BRICs — Brazil, Russia, India, and China — were poised to take a larger share of the world economy as they grew much faster than their slumping counterparts in the U.S. and Europe.
In 2003, O'Neill doubled down, as his team predicted that by 2039 the BRICs could overtake developed economies.
The second paper came out just as emerging markets went on a tear — the MSCI Emerging Markets index EEM -1.05% racked up annualized gains of 37% from 2003 to 2007.
The call was well-timed, but it was first and foremost a brilliant piece of marketing. It gave emerging markets a catchy acronym — BRICs — that would have made "Mad Men" advertising honcho Don Draper proud. But it also provided Wall Street with a "story" it could tell the world. O'Neill snapped the ball and the rest of the Street ran with it.
Pretty soon it became conventional wisdom that emerging markets were the place to invest, particularly the brand-name BRICs and especially China. Advisers told clients the world had changed and that they now had to invest much more in emerging markets, because that was where the growth was.
Celebrity chef Paula Deen, under fire for recent revelations that she has used a racial epithet and made controversial statements about slavery, has fired her legal team.
Never mind that extensive research has found higher GDP growth does not lead to better stock market returns, or that the wide acceptance of the BRICs-will-conquer-the-world thesis coincided with their 2007 peak.
The MSCI EM index plummeted 53% in 2008, and weighed down by secular bear markets in three of the BRICs (Brazil, China and Russia), it has lagged the U.S. for two full years.

It reacts with a 75kDa melanocyte-specific gene product, identified as Tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1). It is involved in melanin synthesis. TRP1 is present on the melanosomal membranes of melanoma, normal melanocytes and nevi.ĀRecent evidence suggests that TRP-1 is involved in maintaining stability of tyrosinase protein and modulating its catalytic activity. TRP-1 is also involved in maintenance of melanosome ultrastructure and affects melanocyte proliferation and cell death.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Barnes & retail division CEO Mitchell Klipper has sold about two-thirds of his outstanding stake in the company, the Wall Street Journal reported today, citing filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Klipper sold about 400,000 shares for a gain of nearly $6 million and still has 200,000 shares left as well as some interest in the company through his 401k retirement account.
Publishers Lunch, an industry trade publication of record (and partner with Digital Book World), speculates that this may be par for the course for Klipper, who sold his stock options each year from 2003 to 2007. Still, the timing can't give investors confidence. B&N shares are trading down in the neighborhood of about 3% on the news as I write this. Still it's not far off from where it's been hovering since last week's disastrous first-quarter earnings report where the company announced continued bleeding from its Nook ebook and device division.
Nook lost about $55 million on $153 million in sales -- scary numbers by themselves. Even scarier was the both device and content sales were down versus the comparable period last year -- way down: about 23% and 16%, respectively. At a time where even slowing ebook sales gains are buoying competitors like Amazon, and Kobo, B&N is seeing sharp losses.
The company blamed poor comparisons with a year that saw Fifty Shades of Grey and The Hunger Games boost trade publishing in the U.S. to record revenues. The Department of Justice's crusade against Apple and five of the largest U.S. publishers, which effectively ended agency pricing (read: guaranteed profits on many best-sellers for booksellers), may also be to blame.
Either way, Klipper has liquidated a significant share of his position in the company.
When I asked B&N representatives a series of questions about this, including whether his current position still aligns him with shareholder priorities, the response was a prepared statement:
"Because of the review of the strategic alternatives and various transactions undertaken by the Company, senior management has been blacked out under the company's insider trading policy from transacting in the company stock. As he is not currently blacked out following last week's earnings announcement, Mr. Klipper made the decision to sell certain of his holdings. Mr. Klipper made this decision for personal reasons. As he stated on last week's earnings call, Mr. Klipper continues to be enthusiastic about the company's business."
The question is, are you still enthusiastic about the company's business?

A mother of three in California has died of water intoxication after participating in a local radio station contest. Participants competed by drinking large quantities of water without urinating in an effort to win a Nintendo Wii video game system.
If ever there was confirmation that America's consumerism is out of control, this is it.
Malta Star:
Fellow contestant James Ybarra said: "They were little half-pint bottles, so we thought it would be easy. They told us if you don't feel you can do this, don't put your health at risk."
Ybarra said he quit after drinking five bottles. He said: "My bladder couldn't handle it any more."
He added: "I was talking to her and she was a nice lady.
"She was telling me about her family and her three kids and how she was doing it for her kids."The competition was believed to have been successful when suddenly Jennifer Strange, 28, started complaining of a strong headache.
Strange, a mum of three, returned to her home and a few hours later she was found dead in her living room.

All at once I am not so sure this was a good idea. Go to Yorkshire, I'd been told, to Betty's famous tea shop in Harrogate, and they'll teach you how to make a Christmas cake and pudding. Do it now and they will be nicely matured by the festive season. They can teach anyone. Even you.
Now I'm not a bad cook. I learnt the basics at an école de cuisine in Paris three decades ago. But I've never been much good at baking, and my pastry is dire. My hands are too hot. Still, this was a pudding and a cake, which is just mixing, I told myself.
Imagine my horror, then, when I arrived to find that there was a sweet pastry mincemeat streusel tart on the curriculum. And the county ladies at the table around me were anything but culinary amateurs. "Did you get rid of that old Aga when you redesigned your kitchen?" asked one. "No, I decided to have it reconditioned," her chum replied. Others were talking about the previous Betty's courses they'd been on: fish cuisine, pâtisserie, baking with chocolate, breadmaking... "I didn't dare tell them I used a bread-maker machine," said one. "And they would only have fresh yeast... dried would have been like a swear word," giggled another middle-aged woman.
But the course tutor, Paul Gray, was a reassuringly down-to-earth Yorkshireman. His day job was as operations manager in Betty's bakery across the way but he had not forgotten how to do things on a smaller scale. He set out methodically the process of mixing the pudding. His ingredients had all been weighed out in advance, as had ours, in neat little plastic bags on the 18 workstations in the state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen.
"You get out what you put in," he began, in what was to become the refrain of the day. "These are top-quality Vostizza currants from Greece. You have to go for the best with every ingredient." There were sometimes a few little stalks in dried currants, one of the students ventured. "Get them out," he retorted.
What if you hadn't remembered to soak all the dried fruit in brandy overnight? "You'd probably get away with two hours," he replied. What if you didn't have two hours? "Then make the pudding another day," he said shortly. Timing is of the essence if you have 1,500 vintage puddings to make by February and nearly 6,000 ordinary ones by August, as he did this year.
And he was not just precise about time. "You can use vegetable suet in the pudding but you have to use beef in a figgy pudding or you don't get the traditional flavour... When you use tin foil always put the shiny side to the food to reflect maximum heat back... And don't forget to sterilise your jars for the mincemeat upside down in the oven." Why upside down, asked one bold enquirer. "Because that's how we've always done it." He was not being doctrinaire but simply passing on decades of experience.
After the mixing we put the puddings on to steam for five whole hours. It seemed an impossibly long time, but then the rest of the day was to be crammed with other tasks, from which we broke off periodically in response to Paul's cry of "Have you remembered to top up the water in your puddings?"
On Christmas Day we would need to steam them again for another two hours. Couldn't we microwave them? It was as if someone had mentioned dried yeast. The other tutor, Amy Callin, intervened deftly and warned of microwave hot spots. But there seemed a touch of the puritan in Paul's insistence that steaming was needed to serve the pudding as moist as possible. "I always microwave mine," the students whispered to each other furtively at the coffee break, which provided a brief opportunity to exchange guilty secrets. And yet the butter they ate with their fresh-baked croissants had, I noticed, been softened before it was served. The day was full of such little touches. Betty's is about buying little parcels of perfection.
After coffee Paul ran through the ingredients and method for the cake. "Where are the cake mixers," asked one lady. "This is your mixer," said Paul, holding up a wooden spoon. "It's important that you get a feel for this by hand before you can be let loose with a mixer."
I was to find out what he meant. I diligently followed his instructions. I checked the thermometer inside the oven I was to share with Bridget, from York, who had done the course the year before and enjoyed it so much that she was back for seconds. I massaged the lumps out of my brown sugar. Then I creamed the butter and sugar and added the beaten eggs in minute portions, as instructed. "Beat it till it looks like butter-cream before you add more egg," said Amy, looking over my shoulder.
But after the fifth splosh of egg I became over-emboldened and put a little too much in. And that's when the batter began to curdle. "You can beat it out or heat it out," Paul had said, but my beating arm had become weak with the effort. "Add a tablespoon of the floor," was Amy's tip, and she took over the beating with the vigour and precision of a Victorian school mistress. The mixture was rescued. My cake went into the oven alongside Bridget's.
The day passed in a blur. After breaking for lunch we moved on to making mincemeat, which is a much simpler business than I had supposed it to be, and yet which produces something immensely superior to mincemeat from the supermarket.
Even the pastry that followed was relatively painless – apart from having to plunge my hands into ice-cold water for five minutes before I worked it. And Amy showed me a technique for rubbing the butter through the flour and nuts for the streusel topping which minimised contact between my warming fingers and the fat. "It's like making pâte sucrée," I exclaimed. "Eh?" chorused the other students. "Less of the French, you're in Yorkshire now."
Indeed. To judge by the final aromas, the north-country precision and plain-speaking had done the trick. The proof of the pudding, and indeed of the cake, must await a yuletide verdict. But we ate the mincemeat streusel that night and it was melt-in-the-mouth magnificent. Perhaps they might make a pastry chef of me yet.
Festive treats: Bakery to start now
Traditional Christmas Cake
Makes 1 x 20cm round cake
250g sultanas
100g currants
400g raisins
75g mixed peel
165g glacé cherries
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 orange
Freshly squeezed lemon juice ( lemon)
80ml sherry
175g butter (room temperature)
175 g dark brown Muscovado sugar
25g black treacle
3 medium eggs, beaten (room temperature)
220g plain white flour
4g mixed spice
2g ground cinnamon
40g ground almonds
25g glycerine
The day before: Place the dried fruits into a large bowl with the lemon and orange zest. Pour over the lemon juice and sherry. Mix the fruit thoroughly to combine. Cover with cling film, and leave to stand overnight.
Line the base of the cake tin with a disc of baking parchment. Place a "collar" of baking parchment around the inside of a 20cm round cake tin.
To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 125°C (fan assisted), or gas mark 2. Beat the softened butter, sugar and treacle in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the beaten eggs to the butter mixture, a little at a time to avoid the mixture curdling. When all the eggs have been put in, add the flour, spices and ground almonds. Gently mix together until thoroughly combined.
Stir the glycerine into the pre-soaked fruit (this helps to keep the cake moist). Add to the cake mixture and fold through until evenly mixed.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tin and level off the top.
Place into a preheated oven for approximately 2 hours until firm to the touch. A skewer inserted into the middle of the cake will come out clean when the cake is cooked. (You may need to cover the top of the cake with a piece of baking parchment three-quarters of the way through baking to protect it, if necessary). When it's cooked leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes before removing from the tin. Leave the baking parchment on the cake while it cools.
"Feeding" the cake: When the cake has cooled, brush the top and sides of the cake with sherry.
The cake should then be wrapped in a clean sheet of greaseproof paper, then in foil, and placed in an airtight container or cake tin and stored in a cool, dry place. Repeat the "feeding" of the cake with more sherry each month (maximum 3 times). The last feed should be at least one week before you cover the cake with marzipan.
Traditional Christmas Pudding
Makes 1 pudding, serves 6-8 people
230g raisins
50g currants
75g sultanas
50g glacé cherries
15g flaked almonds
100ml brandy
Zest of 1 orange
Zest of 1 lemon
Freshly squeezed juice ( orange)
Freshly squeezed juice ( lemon)
50g vegetable suet
30g wholemeal breadcrumbs
50g plain white flour
90g light brown sugar
2g mixed spice
1g ground nutmeg
1g ground cinnamon
1g ground cloves
5g salt
2 medium eggs, beaten
The day before: place all the dried fruits and flaked almonds in a bowl. Pour over the brandy and add the zest and measured juice of the orange and lemon. Mix together lightly. Cover with cling film and leave to soak overnight.
To make the pudding: Put all the ingredients and the pre-soaked fruit together in a large mixing bowl. Mix together lightly by hand, so as not to break up the fruit.
Place a small disc of baking parchment in the base of a 1 pint pudding basin and then fill it with the mixture. Smooth the top down evenly.
Place another larger disc of baking parchment on top of the mixture. Cover the top of the basin with foil and seal tightly.
Stand the filled pudding basin on a strip of foil long enough to make a handle (this is to help you lift the pudding out of the saucepan once it is steamed). Place the pudding on top of a trivet in a deep-sided saucepan.
Pour hot water into the saucepan, so it comes halfway up the pudding basin. Place a lid on the saucepan and bring back to the boil. Then lower the heat and keep the water at a steady simmer. Steam the pudding for 5 hours. Check the level of water in the saucepan during cooking and top up if necessary.
Remove the pudding from the pan and allow it to cool completely. Remove the foil. Wrap the pudding basin in a piece of greaseproof and a layer of foil. Store in a cool, dark place and leave for at least one month to mature. The longer the better.
To serve: On Christmas Day, steam the pudding for a further two hours in a pan with water, as before. Warm some brandy in a ladle until it ignites and pour over the pudding to flambé.

President Obama Sings Again – 'Sweet Home Chicago' with B.B. King [VIDEO]
Bill Clinton had his saxophone, President Barak Obama is simply becoming 'the Voice.' Earlier this year, Obama sang a few bars of 'Let's Stay Together,' and in a concert held tonight at the White House, it was 'Sweet Home Chicago,' that received the presidential treatment.
The concert was Blues Night at the White House and will air on PBS on February 27. Here's a sneak peek of another of President Obama's greatest hits.
