American Friends Service Committee Records
Established in 1968 in response to the war in Vietnam, the AFSC office in western Massachusetts did not limit its focus to draft and military counseling, instead the organization broadened its focus over time to include educational and outreach programs for a variety of peace and socal justice issues. Today the chapter focuses on economic justice, campaigns against U.S. military intervention, and actions to combat racism and classism. With an emphasis on serving the community of western Massachusetts, the program is equally committed to calling attention to issues of both national and local importance. Recent campaigns range from ending the war in Iraq and supporting peace in Columbia to preventing the construction of a new jail in Chicopee.
The collection consists chiefly of subject files that together provide a picture of the various issues in which the western Massachusetts AFSC was involved. Topics range from the organization's earliest focus, the Vietnam War, to the first Gulf War, landlord/tenant relations, immigration, and landmines. The collection also includes materials relating to public figures, some of whom traveled to the region to speak.

Within the House Republican Conference, an unofficial "tough vote" caucus is taking shape.
Its members are the ones who tend to cast the unpleasant, politically painful, bite-the-bullet votes — like this week's debt ceiling vote. Other fiscal votes that fit the pattern include last year's fiscal cliff deal or the vote to end last year's partial government shutdown.
The numbers in the tough vote caucus vary slightly from bill to bill, but the core contingent is fairly small in size: Just 28 House Republicans, for example, voted with nearly all the Democrats — 193 of them —to raise the debt ceiling.
The ranks of the tough vote caucus include more than a few retiring members who don't have to worry about the political repercussions of their actions. But there are also members who will have to face primary or general election voters again.
These members know they're going to catch it from hard-liners and other fiscal hawks who say they'd rather take the risk of the nation defaulting on its obligations than increase the statutory debt ceiling. For some, their vote could mean a Tea Party-backed challenge.
A senior House Republican aide explained to me that those in the GOP's tough vote caucus know they make it possible for their fellow Republicans to vote in opposition to various must-pass measures like the debt ceiling hike — thus allowing their colleagues to tout to voters how stingy they are on fiscal issues.
"It's such a good vote for all these Republicans who vote against it, knowing that it's going to pass, knowing that all they need is small group of Republicans to make sure that they vote for it so that it will pass. Because none of these people want to vote against raising the debt ceiling and then actually blow through the debt ceiling and then be on record supporting that course of action.
"So all these Republicans can vote against raising the debt ceiling ... and then they go back to their districts, back to their conservative constituencies and say, 'Look, I stood up. I was against raising the debt ceiling. I stood on my principles, blah, blah, blah.' So it just comes to the question of who is in this small group of Republicans that is willing to walk the plank on this?
"This is a tough vote for my boss because he's going to go home and hear it from his conservative constituents," said the aide, who works for one of the plank walkers.
The list of those voting to raise the debt ceiling included House GOP leaders like Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California. Committee chairmen Darrell Issa, Ed Royce and Howard "Buck" McKeon, all from California, and Dave Camp of Michigan, were also yes votes.
At least four were members who have announced their retirements at the end of this year: McKeon, Howard Coble of North Carolina, Gary Miller of California and Richard "Doc" Hastings of Washington state.
With few exceptions, the House Republicans who voted yes were from states President Obama won in 2012.
Members of the center-right Republican Main Street Partnership, like freshman David Valadao, who represents a competitive Central California district, and Dave Reichert, of suburban Seattle, were also among the 28 Republicans — three more than were needed — who added their votes to get the debt bill to the 218 votes. The measure passed the Senate Wednesday and went on to the president's desk.
One thing these members had in common is that none of them felt the immediate pressure of a competitive Tea Party challenger. "For somebody who is facing a strong primary challenge from a Tea Party-type candidate, yeah, this would've been a very tough vote to take," the GOP aide said.

Makes about 18 finished cookies
Bonus Coverage: For more chocolate macaron information, my friend Denise from ChezUs makes some amazing ones, and knows WAY more about these than I do, so you can bug her with your questions too! ;-)
Any kitchen scale recommendations? What do you own/use?
Any recommendations on kitchen scales? Which do you use?
We used to make chocolate-cocoanut macaroons quite often at the restaurant I worked at:)Yours look just fine John,don't worry about the cracks,perfectly natural for that to happen.
When your folding in the chocolate powder could you just sprinkle it into the egg whites while your mixer is on?
wow so easy, I'm feeling just a little too happy after watching this video, I need to do somthing to steady my nerves and sober my mood...I think I'll go watch the news ....even better I'll go visit Dr Mercolas website
I absolutely LOVE this recipe and I'm going to give it a try. Just a quick question! What keeps them from cracking?
At first I thought "Oh! Cool! Chocolate covered marshmallow cookies!" But this is way better!!!
Congrats for your first Macarons! They really look good and thanks for making Macarons more popular :)
I make my own powdered sugar since it takes 10 seconds in the spice grinder. Will this work with fresh powered sugar or do I need to buy some?
Adorable (cute) in French is "Mignon."
I have a few tips there for you:
-let them sit a little before baking until. this prevents cracking after baking
-after baking, immediately pull the baking paper on a wet surface. this helps you with removing them when cooled
-instead of only sifting the ingredients try to put them in a blender first
-use a recipe where eggwhites are measured in grams. thats more exact
-prepare eggwhites the night before, and let them sit in the fridge. it don't know what this little trick does-but it seems to help
-just prepare as many macarons as you can bake together in one oven. the batter cannot be kept too long.
My family prefers white macarons with dark chocolate ganache. Sometimes I sprinkle some cinnamon on the shells before baking. It looks really fancy!
Thanks to those leaving tips and ideas, and sorry to those asking questions since I'm really not sure! :)
What's the best way to store these and how long will they last? You know... assuming you don't stuff them all in your mouth within ten minutes...
You have given me courage. I am going to try these. Thank you so much.
You said "don't worry about my feelings", so here goes.
Although your macarons look like delicious cookies, they are a failure. A successful macaron must have "feet" or "skirt" around the edge. To achieve that, it's all in the temperature control during baking. 350F all through baking won't work.
1.Preheat oven to 200C, insert macarons.Immediately turn off oven, leave oven door ajar with 2 thick oven mittens for 6 minutes.(This burst of high temperature forms the shell of the macarons).
2.When 6 minutes pass, remove mittens, close oven door, turn oven back to 140C. (This forces the uncooked batter inside the hardened shell to spill out of the cookie forming the "skirt").
3.Watch the macarons through oven door, when you see the feet/skirt starts to form, turn temperature to 120C immediately and bake for 3 minutes. (This cooks the macarons).
4.When the 3 minutes is up,turn temperature to 100C and bake for 5 minutes (to dry out the inside of the macarons).
5.When the 5 minutes is up,turn off oven and leave the door closed and the macarons inside for 8 minutes.(This final step prefects the cookies)
6.Remove from oven and let macarons cool in the tray.
More suggestions:
1.Your egg white could go for another minute of beating, it didn't look stiff enough.
2.Let piped macarons rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking.
3.Use a toothpick to burst any bubbles on the macarons. Don't tap the tray.
4.My suggested baking method works for batter piped to 3cm diameter rounds on a non-stick oven paper.Put a template of traced 3cm circles under the oven paper for accuracy.
5.One minute difference in any step of the baking process could make or break the final appearance of the macarons. (Oven A might take more or less time than oven B).
(I'm ready for hate mail from Chef John's fans now)
Thanks for the info, but I'm confused about the "feet." Mine had that little ring around the bottom. Weren't those feet?
Does anyone have a recipe or substitution suggestion for what to use in place of almond flour for those of us who are allergic to nuts? These look amazing and I'd love to give them a try...
A true/perfect macaron should have bigger feet or like the uniformed flare of a chiffon skirt when the wearer twirls. Your cookies' "feet" are not up to the acceptable size. They would score poorly in the evening gown event in a Miss Macaron pageant.
Chef John, you should check out Albarock's youtube channel for some inspiring deserts. He's talented but also a Frenchman.
yes, do we NEED almond flour, Im not supposed to eat those so the flour probably isnt good for me either xD
Hello Chef John! WOW, congratulations! If that was your first-ever attempt at macarons then it was a great effort. First, macarons are very temperamental = they're not easy to make. It's easy to botch up a batch...or two...or three. :) Second, chocolate shells are probably one of the hardest shells to make. No kidding! That's because cocoa dries the mixture and throws the macaron batter out of whack. But you managed quite fine. Sure they're not perfect and the little feet are a teeny bit too little but hello people - first attempt, okay?? Piping perfect circles is not easy - this Macaron Template should help. Also The Macaron Master shows how to start a macaron business from home - for those who are interested! Thank you for a great post, Chef John!
While they may not be "proper," they sure look good! And if you're making these for family, it won't matter! haha.
Actually, I was surprised at the outcome of yours. I was reading all these horror stories of people who attempted making them and for a first try, I thought you did a great job.
I've yet to attempt them, but I definitely want to!
Totally made these with out a scale.
It did not work... I should have listened.
Im a baking nut and im still so scared to attempt these,maybe I should just suck it up and go for it.I would be DEEEELIGHTED if mine turned out looking like that,feet right size or not :)
check this out Checf John: a great series from the uk, incidentally she also chose to make macaroons this week:
great video by the way, as usual :)
Your feet look great to me. At least they aren't hairy.
Sussana please let me know where exactly I can send you hate mail
Oh & Chef John,just made these. I loved them. You made something really hard sound so simple....
unlike some people
haha okay no offense to anyone ! Its easy to get sentimental when you're watching videos of the world's greatest chef!
thanks for the recipe!
Hi Chef John!
The recipe was really great and I'm glad you introduced us to how to make macarons.
I made them today and I may have a few problems with the end product. First, my macarons came out with lots, and lots of cracks. And second, they didn't have tiny feet on them too. They looked cooked when I took them out of the over and I have no idea what happened.
Do you have any idea what happened? If yes, can you share them with me? I'm not an accomplished baker and I would really love the tips.
Okay - so!
You actually can't make your own powdered sugar. What you're making is superfine or "instant" sugar. It's great for cold drinks because it dissolves immediately. Commercially produced powdered sugar contains cornstarch, and so it acts differently in baking and cooking.
It's probably not a good idea to toss the dry ingredients in while the mixer is running because it'd be too easy to overmix the egg whites. The feel you get by doing it by hand gives important feedback.
The only substitution you could make for almond flour would be other nut flours - and that wouldn't help you if it's a question of allergy. The problem is that ground nuts are not ground grains, and act differently in baking. Besides, that's like asking how to make chocolate cake but substitute something else for chocolate.
And finally, mon cher Chef John, je suis si fier que vous avez choisi de prononcer macaron correctement ! Vous méritez le Chevalier dans l'Ordre national de la Légion !
The David Lebovitz recipe actually calls for unsweetened Dutch process cocoa. I have made it several times with regular unsweetened cocoa with good results. I finally splurged and bought some outrageously expensive Dutch process cocoa thinking they would be even better and had my first failed batch - cracked tops and no feet. I think the acidity of the regular cocoa helps stabilize the meringue or something.
I don't have an electric mixer...
Can I do this with a whisk?
Hmm last time I tried a peak thing, it collapse due to hot temperatures in my country...(but it was with whip cream) should I put ice under the bowl when I whisk? (haha so totally newbie here)
I would never have thought to make any meringue thing until you showed us Pavlova. I have made that 4 times now and it's always a hit.
I'm definitely going to make these. They look so-o-o-o-o delicious. And I think I'm going to stick to your method. It looks so much simpler than those suggested by Susanna.
Chef John I love your blog. You making cooking so enjoyable and funny. This recipe looks fantastic. I'm going to try it very soon!
Macaron controversy! Jeesh ... I'm waiting for the quinoa salad video!
So chef john i love your video first of all but i have a question i know youre from san francisco i live here too but i dont know were i can get almond flour can you recomend a place thank youuu
whole foods!
Hi chef John,
I don't make macaroon good but I made it a lot, here is some suggestion:
1. Put all the dry ingredient into food processor before you sift it, it can help you get a finer texture
2. Put half of the sugar to the egg white at the very beginning before you whisk it, and add the second half when the egg white is foamy, this can help you get less volume from the meringue
3. I fold the batter a little bit more runny than in your video, probably fold it around 5 more times
4. When you pipe it, using a pastry tips can help getting a better shape
5. Use a silk pat instead parchment paper, feel it can help to had a better shape
Hi Chef John!
I recently wrote an in-depth tutorial on this French treat. It might help your readers/viewers!
Pretty feet :)
Chef John, I've been looking to make these types of cookies recently and I've found in the Cooks Illustrated recipe they let the piped cookies sit at room temp for one hour before baking. Apparently they form a skin of sorts and that helps prevent cracking!
Hey there chef John!
Amazingly done for first try, I must say. First time I made them, it turned into a flat feet-less...thing. Anyway, here are some tips that I find useful (that I think others haven't mentioned:
-you should fold the macaron batter until it is a bit at the ribbon stage. To test for that, take a bit of the batter and drop it on your hand. If the batter spreads a bit and the 'peak' disappears and create a smooth surface, it's done. Remember, macarons shouldn't have a dome on top, like the ones sold in shops. Then are flat and stackable :)
-use your silicone baking mat!!! it works amazingly, and the macaron won't stick to the pan, plus it prevents over cooking :)
-After you pipe the macarons and you have some 'peaks' dip your hand in water and just tap it down with your finger.
-Like other people said, leave the piped macaron to dry for 10-15 minutes. Then, and only then, can you do the tappa tappa. That way, it would make the feet more...feety.
-After the macaron is cooked, don't take it out of the oven just yet. Turn of the oven, and let the macaron sit for 2-3 minutes, with the oven door cracked open.
Hope these help!
lots of respects,
Pauline :)
I read a lot of french books written by french pastry chefs and not one single one of them indicate your direction for the temperature of the oven... I think it's a bit crazy because not two ovens will cool down at the same rate making your direction useless.
Second I think you have no idea what a Traditional Macaron looks like, you have certainly the image of all those macarons found in trendy shops, and that's just one aspect, they are many different appearances, equally acceptable (for ex Macarons Lorains, Macarons Hollandais have cracked surface, etc...). I suggest the book "Un amour de macaron" by Stephane Glacier if you can read french.
Calling Chef John's Macaron a failure is a bit excessive.
What is failure though is his Ganache, I personally think it is at least a misdemeanor to make a Ganache this way...
also, were is the Cayenne Peper !?
Thank you dear chef. Love the macaroooons. Love the absolutely foolproof recipe. And the feet look fine to me. And my feet came out just fine and tasted lovely :p Best baking greetings from Denmark, Europe.
what can i use instead of granulated sugar
Hello.. the video looked really easy and interesting.
May I have the recipe measures in cups rather than grams? or Ml? pleaaase
Thanks!! <3
When I first saw this video, it whetted my appetite for macarons, but I thought to myself: Chef John is no pastry chef; I better find myself a legit recipe. So I traipsed around the internet, used a recipe from some retired pastry chef with a pretty blog who will not be named, and FAILED. Epically. They were like flat sugar crackers. So I came back here, even more determined to have macarons, and I used this recipe. They came out beautifully. Not flawless, there was the odd cracked top, but the feet were there, the chewy inside was there, and I couldn't have been happier. I'm sorry I ever doubted you Chef John; I will never stray again.
Thanks a bunch!
Hi Chef John! So I have an embarrassingly short culinary skillset but I thought this looked manageable, so I gave it a try. They worked out, kind of! Some of mine cracked too, but I was expecting worse.
All the best sir!
Hi Chef John,
I was wondering if the recipe worked with whipping cream instead of heavy cream.
Same thing I believe.
Hi, Chef John! I hope you're doing well!
I have made these babies before and I loved them! I was wondering if I wanted to make pistachio macarons (just taking them up a notch), could I just replace the cocoa powder with the same weighted amount of pistacho powder? ...Ideally this could work...any thoughts? Thank you!
sorry, not sure!
HI, Can I know what is your nice blue spatula made of?
just a standard silicon spatula
I was wondering about the temperature when you leave the macaroons to dry .How much is the room temperature ? Cause my country is very hot
It was about 65F when I did mine. Not sure if makes a big difference or not.
Your Macaroons turned out amazing. I am a pastry chef and have seen my fair share, yours turned out beautifully.
thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful recipe with us,here's how my macrons look....
My name is Michael and I am 8 years old. I want to be a pastry chef when I grow up. Thank you for this great video about making chocolate macarons. My mom finally agreed to make them with me. It was our first try and they came out great! The feet were perfect and the cookies were gooey on the inside. I shared them with my family and friends. I will definitely make these again. Happy baking!
That's awesome! Thanks!

Adorable in French is "adorable"

hi chef :)

And yes, your macarons are!
hi Chef John...
I've been watching your macaron video like hundred times and I'm making my second attemp using your recipe, I hope this time I will succeed. Wish me luck! The first one came out feetless and crunchy, but still tasted good so I snacked on them anyway. Honestly, I've been really obssessed with this delicate cookie lately so I really wanted to make it my own...
I'll answer some of your questions:
1) NO, you cannot blend the flour in with your egg whites. It must be folded in with a spatula to keep the egg whites fluffy and with volume.
2) You must rap the cookie sheets at least 5-7 times each after piping the cookies onto the cookie sheets. This removes the air bubbles from the cookies, which prevents the cookies from cracking during baking.
3) Make sure the eggs are at ROOM TEMPERATURE.
4) Be sure to allow your piped cookies to sit for about 30 minutes so that they become smooth and dry on the crust (you should be able to touch the cookie without the batter sticking to you).
Hope this helped!
Thank you so much for the grams measurements!
hi chef John! :) thanks for share this recipe.I want try this but, I confused about the egg white. wheter the egg white should to sit or not ? and if it should, so how long ? because there are some said to sit it about 24 hours or 5 hours ._. thanks chef :)
don't think it matters as long as they are room temp.
thanks chef John :)
I don't have large eggs! I only have medium
Hey Chef John!
I'm a college student and it wasn't until I got to college that I got into cooking and baking. Something about basically being served jail food really motivated me to learn how to make more than just easy mac. I love desserts and I always wanted to tackle the french macaron. I've tried other times but it wasn't until I gave this a shot that they came out almost perfect (well almost perfect for me). Thank you.
Just look at these cute thangs
This recipe needs adjusting. The chocolate ganache is way too runny. It drips out of the sides of the macarons and messes them up. I don't recommend this Grenache recipe.
How come nobody else had a problem? ;)
Hey, a few years late but well, who knows, somebody might read this?
Also, in total fairness, I stopped reading the comments after a while so if what I'm saying has been said before, I apologise.
First of all, I was quite amazed at how well those turned out, considering, haha.
As far as the meringue is concerned, I really don't see the problem with it, although a little stiffer wouldn't hurt. And really, who wants to make an italian meringue the first time they make macarons. That aside, we tend to add some egg white to the dry ingredients before we incorporate the meringue; and I do mean egg whites, straight out of the shell.
There is a step when you're making macarons that's called 'macaronner', as in, idk, it's just a goddamn verb. Basically, it means that when you incorporate the meringue and the almond paste type thing (remember, it has egg whites now) you mix it vigorously. The whole point is to change the texture of the cookie so that it's not 'cake-like'. Although, you mustn't overmix it, but really, unless you mix it like a maniac for 5mn it's fine.
Finally, as far as the baking goes, I find it's more an oven problem than anything else. Don't have to go crazy, just have to know your oven (I do 10-13mn at 150°C depending on the size), I just think they should have the barest hint of a whobble when you take them out of the oven, since they'll finish baking outside of the oven.
Oh, and a little tip for the ganache : always, always, aaaaaaalways incorporate the hot liquid (so yeah, cream) in three batches. That makes for a much smoother, suppler ganache that will not crack or blah blah blah. Test it out.
And for anybody who took three or four hours out of their day to read this wall of text, go pour yourself a drink, you deserve it.
If at first you don't succeed (I'm referring to myself of course) keep trying. An unmitigated failure. I apparently did everything wrong. They look like teen tiny piles of...
I'll try again. They do, however, taste really good!
I understand why exact measurements are important and why weight is the most accurate way to communicate a measurement. And so, I don't understand why the egg whites aren't given a weight measurement. It seems unlikely for them to always have the exact same weight. I'm also curious about the effect of draining the excess liquid off of the egg whites as you would for poaching or frying an egg and the overall effect that the lack of that particular moisture would have. It would certainly change the weight, and the watery fluid has an obviously different character to it than the more viscous (snotty) white. If we're aiming for consistency in a recipe these are answers we need to have. But I think your first attempt turned out great. I'm not sure if you've had time to make them again in the years since you posted this. My wife makes these on occasion and the texture is beyond the experience of any other type of cookie.
John, any idea why almond flour is used in this recipe instead of regular all purpose flour? Can almond flour be substituted for regular across all your recipes?
Just curious!
I think you did great job even if it did not achieve 5 star French patisserie sophistication :)
Hey Chef John, first time commenter here. I have wanted to make macarons for quite a while and watching your video really inspired me to finally give it a shot. I read around a few other sites for tips and tricks but I did use your recipe almost entirely. I was super anxious when i put them in the oven and when i went to check on them 10 minutes later and saw they had cute small feet I was ecstatic!
After trying one they were exactly what I had imagined they'd taste like. Not that i knew what to expect since I've never had any kind of macaron before.
I decided to fill them with your ganache and vanilla pastry cream i had laying around. They came out great!
Thanks for posting this video and recipe, I look forward to finding other great things on your site!

We've all been sent this e-mail…
If Google had a black screen, taking into account the huge number of page views it receives, an estimated 750 mega watts/hour per year (sic) would be saved.
With this in mind, Google has created a black version of its search engine called Blackle, which functions in exactly the same ways as its white version, but consumes far less energy. Help to spread the word, use: www.blackle.com
Firstly, that page was not created by Google but by an entirely different company. Blackle is simply hooking into Google's search engine.
More importantly, other than the warm, tingly sensation you get when you feel that you have done something good, which is disputable in this case, there are few benefits to this proposal. As such, I find this article rather misleading.
The proposal would be appropriate if we were all using old CRT screens but with LCDs, the power usage is constant, with most of the power being used by the back lighting. Mere microvolts are needed to activate the actual liquid crystals in the case of a wristwatch or calculator, so with no back light, a small 1.5 Volt battery powering a watch or calculator can last several years. Similarly, the power used to run a CRT TV for one night would be enough to keep your LCD watch running for several generations. Making a LCD screen black does not use any less back light, unless it is made black by turning down the brightness, but that would be pointless as then you would not be able to see anything.
If anyone really wanted to save energy, it would probably make more sense to promote LCDs over CRTs, as they are generally more power-efficient. Google has been in the limelight for a while on the subject of energy consumption, and I am convinced that they would have better results if they focused their attention on reducing the power consumed by their servers.
Another though – why not search less? Every search you do contributes to the power consumption of Google's servers, so fewer searches would probably save a lot more power than a black background. Don't you think?

Archaeologists Uncover Evidence of a Minoan Presence Among Ancient Canaanites
A recent and ongoing excavation at the remains of an expansive Middle Bronze Age Canaanite palace in the western Galilee region of present-day Israel is opening a new window on the possible presence of ancient Minoans at an ancient Canaanite palace, revealing what may be the earliest known Western art found in the eastern Mediterranean.
Known as Tel Kabri (located near its namesake kibbutz not far from historic Acco and the resort town of Nahariya on the coast of Israel), the site features an early Middle Bronze Age (MB I) palace dated to the 19th century B.C.E., making it, along with ancient Aphek and possibly Megiddo, the earliest MB palace discovered in present-day Israel. This conclusion was drawn as a result of excavations conducted there as recently as December 20, 2010 to January 10, 2011. But the tell-tale signs of an Aegean presence or influence at the site show up in a later developmental phase of the palace structure some 150 to 200 years later in the overlying MB II palace dated to the 17th century. Reports Dr. Eric Cline of George Washington University and Co-Director of the excavations along with Assaf Yasur-Landau of Haifa University, "Excavations conducted by [Aharon] Kempinski and [Wolf-Dietrich] Niemeier from 1986 to 1993 at the site of Tel Kabri -- now identified as the capital of a Middle Bronze Age Canaanite kingdom located in the western Galilee region of modern Israel -- revealed the remains of a palace dating to the Middle Bronze (MB) II period (ca. 1700 - 1550 B.C.E.). Within the palace, Kempinski and Niemeier discovered an Aegean-style painted plaster floor and several thousand fragments originally from a miniature Aegean-style wall fresco."(1) The new excavations under the direction of Cline and Yasur-Landau have added to the discovery. Reports Cline, et al., "During the 2008 and 2009 excavations at Tel Kabri more than 100 new fragments of wall and floor plaster were uncovered. Approximately 60 are painted, probably belonging to a second Aegean-style wall fresco with figural representations and a second Aegean-style painted floor."(2)

Princeton offers early action admission to 697 students for Class of 2017
Princeton University has offered admission to 697 students from a pool of 3,810 candidates who applied through single-choice early action for the Class of 2017.
Princeton's undergraduate admission office mailed notification letters to students Dec. 18, and the decisions were available to applicants via secure online access on the same day.
This is the second year since 2006 that the University has offered an early application round for prospective students whose first college choice is Princeton. Applicants may apply early only to Princeton, and if admitted, they can wait to decide whether to accept Princeton's offer until the end of the regular admission process in the spring.
"The early action pool was 11 percent larger than last year's pool, and we were more selective, admitting 18.3 percent of the candidates compared with 21.1 percent last year," Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye said. "The admission committee was impressed with the intellectual rigor of the admitted students in addition to their talents, leadership and personal qualities. We hope to have more places available in the regular decision round by taking a slightly smaller group in this cycle than we did last year."
Of the students accepted through early action this year, 9 percent are international students, and 40 percent are U.S. students from diverse backgrounds. Fifty-one percent of the prospective students are men, and 49 percent are women. They represent 27 countries and 42 states, plus the District of Columbia.
Fifty-four percent of the admitted students come from public schools, and 12 percent are the first in their families to attend college. Fifteen percent of the admitted students are sons or daughters of Princeton alumni. Twenty-five percent of the admitted students indicated they want to study engineering.
Princeton's groundbreaking no-loan policy provides students who qualify for aid with grants that do not need to be repaid. Candidates deferred during the early action process will be reconsidered during the regular decision application process.
Regular decision candidates must apply by Jan. 1 and will receive notification of their decision by late March.

Reading food blogs and cookbooks is wonderful. But it can also be devastating for a curious person like me. I won't rest until I make/try something new... And lemon curd was absolutely new to me.
Lemon curd is not part of our food habits here in Brazil and I had not known about it until I started blogging. Being the citrus freak that I am, it immediately caught my attention. No lemon curd in grocery stores around here?? No problem – off to the kitchen to make some.
I had some egg yolks left from the Zuger Kirschtorte and, with Rose Levy's book on one hand and some beautiful lemons on the other, I was determined to taste what my fellow foodies loved so much.
It was... Sublime. I would never have thought that something so delicious would come up from mixing only eggs, butter and lemons. I want to use it as a cake filling, too.
It says on the recipe that the curd can be refrigerated for up to 3 weeks, but I think that after the first week the flavor was a little off, kind of eggy.
Lemon curd
from The Cake Bible
4 large egg yolks
½ cup + 2 tablespoons (125g) sugar
3 fl oz (93ml or about 2 ½ large lemons) lemon juice, freshly squeezed
4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, softened
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
In a heavy noncorrodible saucepan beat the yolks and sugar until well blended. Stir in the remaining ingredients except the lemon zest. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and resembling a thin hollandaise sauce, which thickly coats a wooden spoon but is still liquid enough to pour. The mixture will change from translucent to opaque and being to take on a yellow color on the back of wooden spoon. It must not be allowed to boil or it will curdle. Whenever steam appears, remove briefly from heat, stirring constantly to keep from boiling. When the curd has thickened, pour at once into a strainer. Press with the back of a spoon until only coarse residue remains; discard the residue. Stir in the lemon zest and cool – more sugar can be added to taste while the curd is still warm, but I did not think it was necessary.
Pour into an airtight container. The curd will continue to thicken while resting and chilling.
Makes 1 full cup

To a different foreign land now with its own point of pride. Not poetry, in this case, but size. Liechtenstein is that tiny principality in Europe with a population smaller than Hoboken, N.J. The country is a grand total of 62 square miles. And now it's getting even smaller.
Last month, when the government altered its official map, bits and pieces of land disappeared altogether, making it a quarter of an acre smaller. But as the Wall Street Journal reports, no one seemed to mind. In fact, Liechtensteiners pride themselves on their tiny homeland. Where else in the world could the head of state invite all the citizens up to the castle for a beer? Ah, Liechtenstein. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The City of Holyoke is the Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous municipality of Phillips County, Colorado, United States. The city population was 2,313 at the 2010 census.
The city is named after Holyoke, Massachusetts, which is itself named for Elizur Holyoke, a 17th-century explorer.
Holyoke is located at 40°34′55″N 102°18′4″W (40.582002, -102.301056). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2), all of it land.
As of the census of 2000, there were 2,261 people, 896 households, and 594 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,300.3 people per square mile (501.7/km2).
Visiting Holyoke, Colorado (CO) in an RV is a fantastic way to see the region! You can spend the day sightseeing and learning about the region before retiring to your motorhome in the evening. After a day of sightseeing, you can unwind in your own room with your belongings and sleep in your own bed. You can also tailor your trip to your preferences; for example, if you want to spend more time in one place, you can! You have the option to leave anytime you want if you are ready to move on.
If you don't have your own motorhome but want to go on a trip in one, Crow Survival will help. In reality, if you're thinking about buying a motorhome, renting one first through Crow Survival can be a great way to see if it's a good match for you. If you're a seasoned RVer or this is your first ride, you can rent with Crow Survival with confidence. Because of the 24-hour roadside assistance, even though you don't have a lot of experience with motorhomes, someone is still available to answer any questions or assist you with anything you need.
You can also select from a wide range of campers, RVs, and trailers to take on your holiday in Holyoke, Colorado (CO), which has over 1000 rentals. If you're used to travelling with facilities like showers, laundry, and even fireplaces, a Class A motorhome would be ideal for you. If you want to travel light and with only one or two other people, a Class B campervan might be more your style – the smaller size makes it easier to navigate and allows you to camp almost anywhere. A Class C camper is the ideal combination of the two: bigger than a campervan but with some of the features of a Class A motorhome. Crow Survival also rents 5th wheelers, pop up tents, teardrop campers, toy haulers, and other campers and trailers.
When planning your journey, it's also a good idea to bear in mind that most owners give lower nightly rates the longer you rent your RV. If you rent for a week or a month, you might be able to get a lower per-day rate for your ride. You can see the discount by selecting the vehicle of interest and scrolling down to the price overview, which includes weekly and monthly prices.
You may also look for an RV to rent based on other criteria such as size, vehicle model, price, or even the year the camper was constructed. You should search for pet-friendly motorhomes as well as one-way or round-trip motorhomes.
Next, take a look at our ideas for things to do and other helpful hints on this list. We share the nearest national and state parks to visit, as well as historic sites and points of interest that you might enjoy.
5th Wheel (Fifth Wheel) travel trailers can have many of the same luxuries and amenities as the more common town behind travel trailer. The major difference is that the front is raised which allows for a larger floor space which stretches over two levels.
5th Wheels are made to be towed by a pickup truck utilizing something called a fifth-wheel hitch.
5th Wheel
As 5th Wheels bost a significant amount of floor space, you can expect to have many luxury fittings, making them truly a home away from home. Most will include beds, dining areas, kitchens, full bathrooms, entertainment systems and plenty of storage. High-end models will be finished to a very high standard.
Some models may include slide outs which move the 5th Wheels walls out a few feet to increase the overall living space.
One of the biggest advantages of a towable camper is that once you've reached your campground you can unhitch the vehicle, which frees up your truck for day trips and errands.
Smaller 5th Wheel models are available which means you don't necessarily need to have a large truck to enjoy the benefit of these campers.
However, it's important to pay close attention to your trucks towing capacity before finalizing a rental. This information is most often available in the trucks owner manual or on the manufacturer's website.
Class A RV or motorhomes are custom designed and constructed vehicles based on a specialized truck chassis.
If you're looking for luxury living and a true home away from home experience, then a Class A RV should be at the top of your list. Amenities will often include kitchens, spacious living areas, full bathrooms, entertainment systems and adjustable air conditioning and heating.

Regardless of the size of the Class A Camper, you're going to be getting an RV with plenty of room which is jam-packed full of home-like comforts.
Larger models (more expensive) are more luxurious and well-appointed than many condo's or flats.
Some may even feature basement storage options, adding to the already impressive array of storage available.
Many Class A RVs will allow you to simply touch a button to activate the Slideouts, moving the RV walls out as much as 3 feet. This feature increases the available floor space allowing an already spacious vehicle to feel positively cavernous.
As a Class A RV is not necessarily easy to get around in, many owners opt to tow a small car for day trips and errands.
Class B RVs, otherwise known as van campers, are produced by modifying the chassis or shell from a standard van or truck. The big advantage of a Class B RV is that they are surprisingly easy to drive, and are not much different from an SUV or standard car. This makes the leap from car to RV that much more bearable.
In terms of fittings, you can expect to find many comfort items and most of the conveniences you'd expect to find in a modern-day home.
Class B RV
Made for city streets and traffic, they are easy to get around in and surprisingly quick of the spot. If mobility, ease of parking and maneuverability is a must-have feature, then a Class B RV is something you need to check out.
Most Class B RVs will contain a variety of amenities as standard, which will most likely include a bathroom, dining and kitchen areas, sleeping and a range of storage options.
If you're someone that's tall, you can find models with raised roofs and/or dropped flooring, allowing you to stand without the need to duck. You can even find models with pop up roofs for even more headroom.
Class C RVs are normally quite easy to spot, they are built upon an existing standard van frame or chassis, but normally boast a wider body to accommodate additional living space.
You might be familiar with the common cab-over design which is indicative of a Class C RV, however, this is often an optional extra.
You can expect to have all the must-have amenities that are available in a Class A RV.
Class C RV
If you're looking for an RV with plenty of living space, kitchen, bathroom and dining areas, in addition to an entertainment system and plenty of storage, then a Class C is well worth considering.
Some models of Class C will even include slide outs, allowing you to move the walls out up to 3 feet by merely pressing a button. These slide outs increase the liveable space when you're parked up.
If you're looking to have a small car to take you on day trips or to run errands, then you might want to consider towing a small vehicle behind you.
One of the big advantages of a driveable RV is that you can normally enter the living area from the cab, which can make parking up overnight while on your way to somewhere so much easier. There's a lot less setup when compared to a traditional towable camper.
Pop up campers are known by many names, including folding trailers, tent trailers, and pop-ups. No matter the name, they make excellent and affordable campers for anyone looking for something a bit more luxurious than a tent.
As the name suggests, pop up campers unfold from a trailer to reveal what a reasonably sized camper that's great for families and couples alike. They aren't short on amenities either, with many containing sizeable sleeping areas and kitchens.
One of the best features of a pop-up camper is its small footprint once folded down, which makes towing easy and something that can be accomplished by a wide array of vehicles.
Pop Up Camper
Pop up campers have mass appeal due to their affordable price point and reduced footprint, which makes luxury RV living available to almost everyone.
As we've already discussed, the smaller size means that most typical family cars are capable of towing a pop-up camper, even small cars are capable of towing the smaller pop-ups. As always, it's important to know your cars hitch weight rating, which can be found in your owners manual or on the manufacturer's website.
We would recommend knowing all of this information before committing to a rental or buying a pop-up camper. If in doubt consult a professional.
As we with all towable campers, once you've set up your campground you're free to use your car for other purposes such as running errands or sightseeing.
When not in use pop-up camper is easy to store, taking up much less room than a travel trailer or 5th wheel.
If you like your creature comforts then you'll be glad to know that pop-ups come with sleeping, dining and kitchen facilities as standard. Some models will even come with bathrooms/showers and entertainment systems. You can even get models with slideouts which will increase your liveable floor space.
Travel Trailers comes in all sorts of shapes, sizes, amenities with something to suit every budget and requirement.
Travel Trailer
The sizes and types of Travel Trailers available are truly vast. Small types can often be towed with smaller cars, including SUVs and Sedans, as long as they are equipped with the appropriate hitch.
It is, of course, important to check your vehicle's tow rating against the Travel Trailer you're looking to purchase or rent. This information can most often be found in your owner's manual or on the manufacturer's website.
Larger models will require a larger tow vehicle such as a truck or 4×4, just make sure to confirm your vehicle hitch weight.
As with all towable campers, one of the biggest advantages is that they are easily detached once at the campground, meaning you can use your car or truck for other things such as sightseeing or going to the shops for supplies.
Most travel trailers will include beds, kitchen, dining, seating, bathroom and entertainment systems. Larger models may boast luxurious fittings and various extras.
Some models will include a slide-out, which allows the walls of the camper to move outward a few feet in order to increase the living area and make your campground stay more comfortable.
A Truck Camper is best described as a portable camper that has been specifically designed to load onto the chassis or bed of a pickup truck.
The beauty of the slide-out design means that they are easy to load or unload, which means you can use your truck for other activities besides camping.
Truck Camper
If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive way to get away camping and you own a truck, then a truck camper is a great choice that's well worth considering.
Their size, lack of complexity (few moving parts) and lightweight nature make them the obvious choice for traveling on rougher roads or where wind shear could be an issue.
If you're keen on your outdoor sports and need to get into and out of remote parts of the world, a truck camper might be the only practical option available to you. You can even detach the truck camper once you've reached your destination allowing you to use your truck for other matters.
Despite the relatively small footprint, many truck campers have all the essential amenities, including toilets, kitchens, sleeping areas, and entertainment systems. If you need even more space, then you may wish to opt for a model with a slideout which can substantially increase the liveable space.

This is a step-by-step guide to give you maximum confidence your beautiful shoes will fit. 1. Ensure you have the right sizeThis is an easy one, as the right size should be the shoe size you have been using all your adult life. 2. Check our sizes match your foot lengthTo measure your foot length, place it on a sheet of paper and draw an outline around it, ensuring that the pen is kept vertical and as close to your foot as possible. With the length measurement, refer to the "JAPAN" column of our shoes size chart for your size for different regions' conversion., e.g your measurement for length of your foot is 25cm, so your size with us is US9/Uk6.5/39 for Europe size. 3. Allow for close fitting shoesAll dance shoes need to fit quite closely to guard against slipping in the shoes. Our shoes are sized with a close fit. If you have wide/narrow feet, and you're concern the fitting of the shoes, please follow above instructions to provide us the measurements of Length/Width/Bunion Girth on the contact page, we will recommend you our sizes for you, but we leave the decision for the customer.4. Converting sizesIf you need to convert to UK, Europe, or Japanese sizes you can refer to our shoes size chart.5. Allow for materialsYou have a great choice of different materials, including leather, suede, satin and high quality imitation patent. Each of these materials behave differently.
8. Choose the correct heel heightThe height of the heel is measured from its tip on the ground, to where it meets the shoe body. Be quite careful with which heel you select. Some of the shoes on the website have options ranging from the low to extremely high. Measure the length of the heel against your existing shoes to see which height you prefer. The following chart shows how we measure the height of our heels.
9. Leather or suede solesSuede sole grips the floor better, and is particularly good on slippery floors. Suede will need to be brushed every now and again to keep its surface optimal.Leather soles are more resilient, and slide better. The most important difference however is that because of its flexibility and softness, suede soles will make the entire shoe much more flexible, and your feet will have a more intimate contact with the floor. The flexibility is great!The final decision of the size and fitting belongs to our clients. The above information is a guideline.
Natural Spin Shoes Size Conversion Chart
The Japanese size is based on the length of your foot in cm, so you can measure your foot in cm and find out your shoes size.

Iran must be "part of the solution" to the crisis in Syria, former U.N. Secretary-General Koffi Annan said today in Tehran.
But as Annan spoke, there was new word about how horrible things have gotten in Syria since protests against the regime of President Bashar Assad began in March 2011 and forces loyal to Assad cracked down on his opponents.
An anti-Assad watchdog organization, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the death toll there has now exceeded 17,000.
According to Thomson/Reuters' AlertNet, "the pro-opposition Observatory said at least 11,897 of [those killed] were 'civilians' — but added it could not determine how many of those might have been fighters who had joined an insurgency led by army defectors."
Annan, the Associated Press reports, "was in Iran in a bid to salvage his faltering peace plan. ... A staunch ally of Syria, Iran has provided Assad with military and political backing for years, and has kept up its strong support for the regime since the Syrian uprising began. ... Annan did not say what kind of involvement he saw for Iran in resolving the crisis, nor did [Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar ] Salehi spell out what Iran was willing to do to help tame the violence.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New dragons are added regularly!
Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.
Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

I rarely make Paneer at home.Contrary to what people say about store bought Paneer being hard and tasteless,I find them quite good.Most of the times,soaking the paneer in hot water before adding to the curry does the trick for me and the paneer stays soft even when I reheat the curry.So I might be just lucky to get good quality Paneer or maybe I haven't come across those 'really hard and tasteless' paneer' yet!
On those occasions when the milk curdles,I end up with Homemade Paneer and I try to incorporate it into Stuffed Rotis or Paneer Bhurjis.Ever since I came across Aparna's recipe for Paneer Pound Cake,I've been waiting for my milk to curdle to try this out.[Ok,I could just go ahead and curdle the milk myself,but I preferred to wait].The recipe is a very simple one and gets done in a jiffy if you have the paneer ready.
It smelled so good while baking that I just couldn't wait to cut and eat it.The texture is very soft and melt in the mouth.It is more like a simple tea-cake you can have with your cuppa.Do try it out since unlike Pound cakes,this one is not loaded with pounds of sugar and butter!!
Paneer /Ricotta Pound Cake
Recipe source - Aparna
Cake flour - 3/4 cup[make your own-add a tbsp of cornflour into your measuring cup and top it with flour-sift well]
Baking powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Salted Butter - 60 gms
Fresh Paneer[drained] - 3/4 cup
Granulated sugar - 3/4 cup
Egg - 1
Lime juice - 1 tsp
Preheat oven to 180C.
Grease and line an 8' round cake tin.
Sift together the flour and baking powder,keep aside.
Make a smooth paste of Paneer by blending it in the mixer.
Cream the paneer and the butter till soft and fluffy.
Mix in the sugar and beat till the mixture is creamy.Scrape down the batter from sides of the bowl in between.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat well till mixed.
Spoon in the flour mix and beat on medium speed till you get a smooth batter.Add the lemon juice and beat again.The batter might look slightly curdled,but that's alright.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes or till the top has turned a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the tin for 5 minutes and then gently transfer to a wire rack for further cooling.
Slice and serve.
- For this cake,it is better to use homemade paneer.For making your own,refer Aparna's post for detailed steps.
- I used a 8' round cake tin and felt my cake was thinner than Aparna's,so planning to use a smaller tin next time.[I like tall cakes!].
- If you have access to store bought Ricotta,you could substitute that with Paneer.

Two recent events — one on the east coast and one on the west coast — raise painful questions about whether we are really serious when we say that we want better education for minority children.
Videos by Rare
One of these events was an announcement by Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C., that it plans on August 19 to begin "an entire week of activities to celebrate the grand opening of our new $160 million state-of-the-art school building."
The painful irony in all this is that the original Dunbar High School building, which opened in 1916, housed a school with a record of high academic achievements for generations of black students, despite the inadequacies of the building and the inadequacies of the financial support that the school received.
By contrast, today's Dunbar High School is just another ghetto school with abysmal standards, despite Washington's record of having some of the country's highest levels of money spent per pupil — and some of the lowest test score results.
Housing an educational disaster in an expensive new building is all too typical of what political incentives produce.
We pay a lot of lip service to educational excellence. But too many institutions and individuals that have produced good educational results for minority students have not only failed to get support, but have even been undermined.
A recent example on the west coast is a charter school operation in Oakland called the American Indian Model Schools. The high school part of this operation has been ranked among the best high schools in the nation. Its students' test scores rank first in its district and fourth in the state of California.
But the California State Board of Education announced plans to shut down this charter school — immediately. Its students would have had to attend inferior public schools this September, except that a challenge in court stopped this sudden shutdown.
Why such a hurry to take drastic action? Because of a claim of financial improprieties against the charter schools' founder and former head, Ben Chavis.
Ben Chavis has not been found guilty of anything in a court of law. Nor has he even been brought to trial, though that would seem to be the normal thing to do if the charges were serious.
More important, the children have not been accused of anything. Nor is there any reason for urgency in immediately depriving them of an excellent education they are not likely to get in their local public schools.
What Ben Chavis and the American Indian Model Schools are really guilty of is creating academic excellence that shows up the public school system, both by this school's achievements and by the methods used to create those achievements, which go against the educational dogmas prevailing in the failing public schools.
If it seems strange that there would be a vendetta against an educator who has defied the education establishment and thereby improved the education of minority students, the fact is that Ben Chavis is only the latest in a long line of educators who have done just that — and aroused animosity, and even vindictiveness, as a result.
Washington's former public-school head, Michelle Rhee, raised test scores in that city's school system and was demonized by the education establishment and politicians. She has left.
Years ago, high-school-math teacher Jaime Escalante, whose success in teaching Mexican American students was celebrated in the movie "Stand and Deliver," was eventually hounded out of Garfield High School in Los Angeles. Yet, while he was there, about one-fourth of all Mexican-American students — in the entire country — who passed Advanced Placement Calculus came from that one school.
Marva Collins, who established a very successful private school for black children in Chicago, doing so on a shoestring, was likewise the target of hostility when she was a dedicated teacher in the public schools.
Other examples could be cited of educators who produced outstanding results for minority students — in New York, Houston and other places — and faced the wrath of the education establishment, which sees schools as places to provide jobs for teachers, rather than education for students, and which will not tolerate challenges to its politically correct dogmas.

It's been a big day for Serena Williams. First, she started the day by winning her first individual Olympic gold medal. Then she earned a chance for another gold in the women's doubles match, playing with her sister, Venus. The pair defeated the Russian team of Nadia Petrova and Maria Kirilenko, 7-5, 6-4.
The Americans will next face the Czech team of Hlavackova and Kradecka in the Olympic final, Sunday at 7 a.m. ET.
On Saturday, it was Venus, who earlier sat in the stands to cheer on her little sister, who seemed to be playing the best tennis in the first set. She was canny in rushing the net, where she used her long reach to put away points. And when the ball threatened to go over her head, she stretched out to deliver overhead shots for winners.
Venus' early consistency presented a daunting task for Petrova and Kirilenko, who, whenever they managed to get a shot past her, were rewarded by crushing groundstrokes from Serena.
Early in the second set, Venus threaded a shot through the 10 feet that separated her opponents, both of whom merely turned to watch the ball fly past between them. Moments later, she put so much touch on a ball after sprinting to the net that it seemed to take two bounces before either Russian player could even start to run toward it.
But the Russians fought to hold their serve, and answered with firepower and tactics of their own. They never quit on points, turning what looked like Williams winners into hard-fought gains. They sometimes switched to an "I" formation, to take away the center of the court — and perhaps unsettle the Williams sisters.
Kirilenko and Petrova largely abandoned that tactic, instead changing the angles of their shots and adjusting their game to take away the Williams sisters' strengths. For much of the match, both Russians stood at the baseline while receiving serve, ceding at least temporary control of the net to the Williamses.
In the decisive second set, the Williams sisters blasted powerful groundstrokes from the baseline that the Russians couldn't handle. That gave the Americans several match points, which they failed to convert. With Kirilenko serving, the Russians withstood that challenge with resolve — until the sixth match point, when Kirilenko sent a crossing backhand into the net.
As a team, Venus and Serena have won 13 Grand Slam doubles titles.
