Recipe File: Basic Pancakes
Article Digest:
I make a great buttermilk pancake, but I don't usually keep buttermilk in stock. That means an extra trip to the store Saturday morning if I feel like making pancakes. So, this Saturday, I decided to test the
The New Joy of Cooking
's Basic Pancakes recipe which uses ingredients every kitchen should always have in stock.
I used (from the top, clockwise) 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1-1/2 cup milk, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted), 2 large eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
I combined the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) into a large bowl and whisked a little.
Now, I whisked the wet ingredients (milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla) together.
I then poured the wet ingredients onto the dry and whisk, but not too long. Just enough to combine thoroughly. If there are some lumps left, it's okay. When the batter cooks it'll smooth out and you won't taste it.
Joy of Cooking now says to fold in any additions now. I added some frozen blueberries that I thawed quickly in a some warm water and drained. This is where the recipe makes a fatal mistake. More on that later.
I then quickly prepare my two burner griddle. You can use an electric griddle as well. In both cases, the surface should be smooth and non-stick.
Turning both burners on, I heated the griddle until a few drops of water tossed onto the surface ran around franticly. (If the water jumps off the griddle, then turn down the heat. If the water just sits there, increase the heat.) Now, I melted a pad of butter onto the griddle to lubricate it.
Using a paper towel, I rubbed the butter around until it evenly coated the pan and I couldn't see any butter. You don't want too much fat on the griddle or you'll be frying the pancakes.
I scooped 1/3 cups of batter onto the griddle to make a pancake. This is when I discovered that the blueberries impeded the flow of the batter. Usually, when I make my buttermilk pancakes, I pour the batter out steadily onto one spot and it forms a near perfect circle. I then sprinkle my filling on top of the batter on the griddle. Now I know why. First, the batter doesn't flow evenly and forms alien shapes on the griddle because of the blueberries. Second, the blueberries are unevenly distributed and some pancakes have some and some have a lot. Don't make this mistake - put the fillings in after the batter hits the griddle, not in the batter. You might notice in this picture there's a big lump in the batter of the second pancake. Don't worry about that, it evens out and can't be tasted. The pancake will be tough if we over mix.
I cooked the first side until bubbles covered the pancake surface and begin to pop. I then flipped the pancake over.
Once the second side has lightly browned (about half the time it took to cook the first side), I removed and served. If you need to make a lot of pancakes, you can stack them on a plate in a 200°F oven. On Good Eats, Alton Brown recommends placing paper towels between each layer of pancake, but I find that it works for me to stack without the paper towel waste. Usually, Tina and I can't eat too many pancakes at a time, but I still make a full batch.
Extra pancakes can then be frozen. A quick trip to the toaster or toaster oven will produce homemade pancakes much better than the supermarket frozen kind. This picture is of a buttermilk pancake that came out very circular because the filling was added after the batter was poured on the griddle.
The results of the tasting proved that these pancakes were quite good - on par with the buttermilk pancakes. A little fruit topping or maple syrup and they resulted in a delicious breakfast. So, I've decided to promote this recipe from a Test Recipe to one for the Recipe File.

Fortunately my mother taught me how to cook. All I usally need is a push toward an idea.
a) use week old milk, that has just spoilt to taste. If there are chucks it is way to late. Just the bad tasting milk.
b) Or add roughly a tablespoon of vinger to a cup of milk. and leave out for 10-20 minutes(I usally set up the milk, then prep and use the other ingredients).

It's good to point out that you should mix the wet and dry ingredients together as little as possible to avoid producing making them tough. The batter should be quite lumpy and if there are lumps of dry, don't worry, they will cook out. Ten seconds is about as much as you need to mix, and use more of a folding action than a stir.
Also, if you want to substitute buttermilk or soured milk (see your recipe substitutions page) reduce the baking powder to about 1t and add about 1/4t of baking soda to counter the added acidity.

For a lighter pancake, try separating the eggs. Use the yolks as per normal, beat the whites until thickened and glossy.
Then fold in 1/3rd of the white into the pancake batter to lighten it, then the next 1/3rd and the final third.

You can freeze buttermilk for later use. I freeze in 1/2 cup increments, using freezer baggies. Works like a charm! I never throw unused buttermilk away, and no more running to the grocery store at 7 am on a Saturday, either!

Instead of buttermilk, I squeeze half a lemon in the milk - be sure to use a large cup because it get bubbly and rises.

I guess that there is a mistake in the summary at the end. Instead of "3 tsp. sugar" it should be "3 Tbs. sugar".

Post subject: Cinnamon is good too
I've been using this pancake recipe for a while now, and I always add some Cinnamon to it. I never measure how much I put in, I just add it to the dry ingredients before mixing with the wet ingredients, enough so it discolours the mixture a bit.
The result is the best cinnamon pancakes ever!!! Awsome with just some syrup.

Post subject: Pancake recipe
Just wanted to say as an Expat now living in The Netherlands that I went looking for what we at home would assume was a "Basic"(baking soda and baking powder) remembering from Sunday mornings with Mom that I needed one or the other to make mouth watering pancakes...Several hours later, I'm now looking at a familiar mustard colored box of baking soda(The funny thing is all of the writing...is in CHINESE, seriously!!) and the familiar maroon can of baking powder is now contained in a plastic jar with some oddly sounding chemical name. (but I was assured that the was the real deal), so Now looking foreward to next Sunday's breakfast now that I have your recipe in hand. Thanks, Mike
PS I also have a serious craving for freezer jam, any suggestions for Certo? Written to Kraft to see if they can give me another name here, but as of yet, no reply...

Post subject: Souring milk for buttermil substitute
the best way i found to sour milk is to use fresh lemon juice. it adds a beautiful flavor and tartness to the batter. i would never use spoiled milk.
mix 1tablespoon fresh lemon juice into 1 cup of milk. Let is 'sour" for 20 minutes. i prefer this to buttermilk.

Kluane National Park is a vast nature reserve on the border of Yukon and British Columbia that would take a lifetime to explore, but if you've only got a few days, this UNESCO World Heritage site is easily accessible to casual visitors travelling along the Alaska Highway.
Within Kluane's boundaries is Canada's tallest mountain, Mount Logan, which is part of the St. Elias Mountains. The park is actually part of a larger collection of adjacent parks in Alaska and British Columbia that protect 97,520 square kilometres of spectacular northern wilderness. The other parks are Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park as well as British Columbia's Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park.
The jumping off point for many visitors to the park is Haines Junction which is a short drive from the Yukon Territory's capital of Whitehorse. Not far from Haines Junction is Kluane's largest body of water, Kathleen Lake, where visitors can quickly get a taste of this national treasure.
Kathleen Lake is known in the Southern Tutchone language as Mät'àtäna Män which means frozen lake. The lake is a good fishing spot and is inhabited by two special species, the pygmy whitefish and kokanee which is a land-locked salmon.
The lake can be reached from the highway and has a vehicle campground that operates on a first-come, first serve basis. It also offers a day recreation area with kitchen shelter and picnic tables. If you've got your own boat, there is also a boat launch available. High winds can make it a hazardous place to sail at times so a better way to tour the waters is with a guide. One operator is Kruda Ché Boat Tours which is run by Ron Chambers, an aboriginal guide with an intimate knowledge of the area. He can accommodate small groups in his boat to view the scenery and look for wildlife, but can also customize tours in the park to better meet your interests.
For example, if you don't want to be on the water and instead want to head for higher ground, there are trails from the Kathleen Lake campground for day hikes that offers great views of the lake and surrounding countryside.
For an even better view, Sifton Air flies passengers out of a tiny airstrip in Haines Junction for awe-inspiring views of the park's towering mountains and massive glaciers. You can pack in more scenery in an hour of flying over the park than you could in a month of hiking. It's certainly the easiest way to get to Mount Logan, Canada's highest peak at 5,959 metres, or 19,545 feet if you prefer. The glaciers are a particularly impressive sight from the air as they slowly carve their way through mountain valleys. One of the highlights is Lowell Glacier as it descends into Lowell Lake where you are sure to see giant chunks of blue ice calving into the freezing waters.
The glaciers are remnants of the last Ice Age making Kluane and adjacent parks one of the largest non-polar icefields in the world. The glaciers are constantly being refreshed by new water from the huge amount of snowfall in the park which is fed by moist Pacific air.
One thing visitors to the park notice is the vast number of dead spruce trees. It is even more noticeable from the air where the grey, dead trees outnumber live ones by a huge margin. The die-off is caused by an infestation of spruce bark beetle which one park official estimates affects up to 80% of mature trees in the region. The beetle has always existed, but the infestation has been worsening since the 1990s. No one is quite sure, but one explanation is that warmer winters have allowed the beetles to survive longer.
Despite the dead trees, the park teems with wildlife. Dall sheep are the most common large mammals in the park, but you're likely to only see them as white dots against the mountain side. The same goes for the mountain goats. The odds are much higher that you will spot grizzly bears or black bears and you most likely won't have to travel very far to see one. If you drive along the highway at the edge of the park long enough you're sure to spot a "bear jam" as people pull over their cars to observe a bear feeding by the side of the road. If you do spot one, be sure to stay in your car as bears can be dangerous if provoked. Parks Canada recommends that you keep your car about 30 metres away from any animal you spot, which is about the length of 3 buses, in order to not harass the animals.
Rafting is another popular way to spot wildlife and enjoy the scenery. Commercial operators lead visitors on 3 to 14 day camping trips down the Alsek River, and its tributary the Dezadeash River, that cut through the park. People with smaller appetites for adventure can take shorter day trips on the river. One operator that offers such tours is Paddle/Wheel Adventures out of Haines Junction.
Before you explore Kluane, spend some time at the Visitors' Centre to orient yourself and learn more about the park. The centre also offers special lectures and day hikes to help you better appreciate Kluane's treasures. Your biggest challenge when visiting Kluane will be to decide how much of it you want to explore.

Who is considered a transfer student?
A student who has completed at least 24 semester college credits after high school graduation at an accredited institution is considered a transfer student at USU. Students with less than 24 transferable credits are required to send to USU their official high school transcript and ACT or SAT test scores.
How should I begin the transfer process?
Transfer students can find information about admission to USU and apply online at www.usu.edu/admissions/transfer. There is a $35 application fee that can be paid online at that time. They can also request a printed application by contacting the Admissions Office at 1-800-488-8108 or at the address below. Transfer students will need to contact each college and university they have attended and request that an official transcript be sent to:
Admissions Office
Utah State University
0160 Old Main Hill
Logan UT 84322-0160
When is the best time to apply to transfer?
The application deadline for summer and fall semesters is April 1; the deadline for spring semester is November 1. Transfer students can apply to USU at any time, but after these dates a $15 late fee will be assessed in addition to the $35 application fee.
What GPA will I need to be admitted?
Transfer students with at least 36 quarter or 24 semester credits earned at another accredited institution will be admitted to USU if they have a cumulative transfer grade point average (GPA) of 2.50 or higher. Those transfer students having a GPA between 2.20 and 2.49 will be considered on an individual basis and are likely to be admitted to USU. Many undergraduate majors require a higher GPA for admission to their program. For specific GPA requirements, refer to the General Catalog or major requirement sheets, or consult with the departmental academic advisors.
What happens if I don't qualify for the program I am interested in?
In cases where the student is admitted to the University but does not meet the minimum GPA requirement for admission to his or her desired major, admission will be offered as an "undeclared" major. If the student has more than 60 semester credits, he or she will not be admitted as undeclared and will need to select a different major.
When will my transfer credits be evaluated?
Once your admission file is complete, the Articulation Office will evaluate your transcripts to determine which courses will be accepted at USU. Accepted transfer courses will be posted to your USU transcript. Transfer work from in-state, and a handful of out-of-state, institutions is usually posted within 48 hours of receipt from the Admissions Office. Most out-of-state transfer work is posted within 4-6 weeks of receipt from Admissions.
How may I transfer credit to USU?
An official transcript from each institution attended must be sent to the Admissions Office. Faxed transcripts and/or copied transcripts will not be accepted. Transcripts submitted for admission purposes become the property of the University and cannot returned.
Do I need to submit transcripts from every institution I have attended?
What credits are transferable?
Remedial courses, audited courses, and courses taken at institutions that are not regionally accredited cannot be transferred to USU. Acceptance of credit should not be confused with its application. Transfer credit may or may not apply to the graduation requirements of an institution, regardless of the number of credits received.Back To Top
What grades transfer? Can I get credit for pass/fail courses?
USU will accept and post each course with its associated grade from "A" through "F". However, an "A+" will convert to an "A", and a "D-" will convert to a "D". Credits with a "pass" grade will transfer, as well as credits with an "F" grade.Back To Top
Why doesn't my USU transfer GPA match the GPA on the transcript from my transfer school?
The University evaluates all transfer credit based on USU's grading scale, and the weight of that scale could be different from other institutions.
How long does it take to be admitted?
Once your admissions file is complete, it usually takes one to two weeks for an admission decision to be made.
Does USU accept military credit?
The University may grant elective credit to students currently enrolled at USU who have served in the armed forces. The number of elective credits granted depends upon the length of military service. Other military credit may be accepted for transfer, if such credit meets University requirements. The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services is used by articulation personnel, in the Registrar's Office, for determining transfer of credit. Qualified applicants must submit the form DD214, form DD295, or an AARTS/SMART transcript to the Admissions Office. Credits are then evaluated for acceptance only when a Military Credit Evaluation form is submitted to articulation personnel in the Registrar's Office. The form and instructions can be found online at usu.edu/registrar/htm/forms/.
Does USU accept courses that were taken online?
Yes. If the courses were taken from a regionally accredited institution and are sent to USU on an official transcript, they will be accepted.
Does USU accept Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes that I took in high school?
Yes, USU will grant credit for Advanced Placement examinations, International Baccalaureate examinations, the College-Level Examination program (CLEP), and DANTES Subject Standardized Tests. Depending on your performance on these exams, varying levels of credit will be awarded. For specific credit allocation, please visit www.usu.edu/advising/.
What if I took courses at an international institution?
To initiate the evaluation of credits from an international institution, students need to provide the International Students and Scholars Office with an official transcript from each institution, along with a syllabus for each course, translated into English if necessary.
Is SOAR mandatory for transfer students? What orientation programs are available to transfer students?
If you are a transfer student who will have more than 24 post-high school semester credits (not including AP or concurrent enrollment credits), you are required to contact your advisor before registering for classes. You are not required to complete SOAR or pay the $100 University Deposit; however optional Transfer Information Days are available in the summer.
Transfer Information Day is an optional half-day program for transfer students who have at least 24 college credits (not including AP or concurrent enrollment).
Transfer Information Day focuses on giving you vital information that will make your transition to Utah State easier. Your time will be spent receiving critical information about policies, procedures, and resources specific to Utah State University. Though campus tours will be available for those who are interested, they are completely optional.
For more information about Transfer Information Days, go to
What majors and minors are available at USU? What are my degree program requirements?
For information about approved majors, minors, and emphases and their requirements, you can download major requirement sheets from: www.usu.edu/majorsheets/.
What are the General Education requirements at USU?
USU's University Studies Program consists of two components: General Education and Depth Education. For a complete explanation of the University Studies Program, including General Education requirements, please visit www.usu.edu/universitystudies.
Will USU accept my associate's degree? Will my General Education requirements be met if I already have an associate's or bachelor's degree?
Students who have an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree (or have completed the General Education requirements at the sending institution) from an approved institution will be deemed as having met the General Education portion of the University Studies requirements at USU. A list of approved institutions can be found at www.usu.edu/transfer/guide/institutional_agreements.cfm.
How should I contact my academic advisor?
Each student should consult with his or her academic advisor on a regular basis until the student's program of study is completed. Each student is responsible for learning and completing graduation requirements for academic programs selected. For a complete list of academic advisors by major, as well as their contact information, please visit www.usu.edu/advising/advisors/.
How is in-state residency determined?
For current residency information and requirements for the State of Utah, please visit www.usu.edu/admissions/information/residency.cfm/.
Can transfer students live in on-campus housing?
Yes, transfer students can live on campus. USU has housing for both undergraduate and graduate students, married and single. Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. There is not an application deadline, but it best to apply early if the student has a preferred building choice. The easiest way to apply is online at www.housing.usu.edu. At this website, students can apply and select the building of their choice, and receive immediate confirmation of their building assignment. Students without Internet access can apply by mail or fax. To request a housing brochure, please call 1-800-863-1085.
Where can I learn about financial aid?
Financial Aid information can be found at www.usu.edu/finaid/.
What off-campus housing options are available?
Partial list of conveniently located apartment complexes. You may also want to check classified ads in the local newspaper.
I have read the questions and answers on this page, but still have unanswered questions. With whom can I speak to obtain additional information?
Please contact Brandy Reeves in the Articulation Office (email@example.com)

Boss man is living the life, he's been down in Vero Beach Florida living on the beach for the past month and has another month to go. :-)Thanks for the input, I will go with more cheese and lower the temp and keep a closer eye on the crust as it goes. Also yes there was semolina in there 80/20 KAAP/Semolina. That sauce I was using was just a can of crushed tomatoes that I threw some oregano in. This was a real impromptu pizza so I didn't have the time to do everything the way I wanted or use the tomatoes I wanted. I usually used Escalon 6-In-1 with some seasoning but I didn't have access to them at this time. The reason a bit of cheese is popping through is that I put a few pieces of cheese on top of the meats just to see how it would react and thought I may need a bit more cheese.Thanks for the input. Will be back with more after the next round.
Sorry for the delay in getting pics up, just been busy busy.My experiment with going to a lower temperature did not work out for me. I went from my normal of 475 down to 450, main issue I ran into was that the cheese was not cooked enough. Some parts of it were not completely melted. I also can't figure it out but I'm not happy with my crust for the Lou's style, it just doesn't compare to ones actually from Lou's. I don't recall my exact recipe but it was something like 20% semolina with a bit of sugar and soft butter. I know I should really have these details. My apologies.Anyways here are the pics, if anything sticks out to you in my process of making the pie let me know so I can improve. Was in Chicago last weekend for St. Pats and had a Lou's while there and brought 5 back home with me. Sorry just frustrated thinking about it because the doughs seemed really great, just not the same as the real thing. For that matter my cheese doesn't seem to taste as good, nor my pepperoni or sauce. I'm lost lol.http://imgur.com/a/jSiNE

Pretty sure the Penguins completed their finals victory over the North Stars with an 8-0 romp..Meds wrote:No. Getting shutout 4-0 on home ice and losing by the widest margin ever in a Stanley Cup deciding game is the worst choke job in playoff game 7 history.
Who gives a shit about the first round in a team's first playoff appearance in almost a decade.
Edit: I think the stat you were looking for is the largest margin of loss in stanley cup finals game seven history. Since there have only been sixteen of them it's hardly an extensive history (ie. the sample size sucks) but surprisingly there are two other 4-0 defeats in SCF game 7 history: the 1964 Maple Leaves over the Red Wings and the 1965 Canadiens over the Blackhawks.
I won't bother to speculate as to whose was "the worst choke job" because I don't give a shit..

1. Chapter 1
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1251 Review this Chapter
With knots in my stomach, I continued up the stairway to the entrance of my new school. Not quite sure where the office was, I asked a nearby student, and they directed me down the hall to the right. My family and I had just relocated, again, due to my inability to handle my problems. Problems that no normal person would have. Problems that even I shouldn't have been cursed with. So here I am in halls of Eatonville High, in Eatonville, Washington. Definitely not my favorite place to have lived, a small town with constantly overcast skies and rain.
Coming up the office door I took a deep breath, opened it and peered it. The secretary, a small women with a tight bun on the top of her head, greeted me with an unfriendly smile.
I stepped up to her desk,
"Hello, Can I help you?," were her first words.
"Yes, This is my first day, and I was told to come to the office to receive my schedule." I replied.
"Yes, What is your name?"
"Heaven James," My parents had decided on my name the second they set eyes on me. They said I looked like a little ounce of Heaven that had come down to bless them. Although I should have been named Hell, after everything I have put them through in my long 17 years.
"Okay Heaven, here is your schedule, your first class is math, and its down this corridor to your right, then take a left and it's the 4th door on your right. Your teacher is Mrs. Wicker."
I took the schedule from her hand and walked out. Looking at my schedule I grimaced. Math, Art, Science, English, Lunch, German, History. The bell rang and I watched kids scatter off like little mice in different directions to there classes. I followed the secretaries directions to my first class. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the teacher, who I knew as Mrs.Wicker. A large woman, with sincere brown eyes. She looked up from her desk at me and smiled.
"Well hello! You must be Heaven! It's nice to meet you, I'm Mrs. Wicker and I will be your math teacher."
The whole room suddenly got very quiet and everyone's attention seemed to be focused on me.
"Now everyone, this is Heaven James," I gave a small tight smile, conscious of myself with so many different pairs of eyes staring at me.
" Okay Heaven, you can go have a seat back there in the back next to Alice."
She handed me my math book, and I looked back to where I would be sitting. I saw a small girl with brown hair. She has a light air about her. Immediately I could sense something was different about this girl. I walked through the rows and took my seat.
"Hi, I'm Alice." she gave me a kind, cheery smile.
"As has been announced, I'm sure you already know I'm Heaven." I smiled back.
There was just something different about this girl that I could not pinpoint. I studied her a little more closely. Her eyes, she had very strange eyes, they were golden brown, almost completely gold. Another thing that came to my speculation was her skin, she was very pale, but radiated beauty. I noticed she had on nice clothing, nicer than most of the people I had seen so far. I decided to let it go and focused my attention on Mrs.Wicker.
About thirty minutes into our lesson, Mrs.Wicker asked us to get out our compasses. I reached into my book back and searched through my things. Alice leaning towards me doing the same thing, looked up and gave me a small smile. "Ouch" I yelped, I felt the sharp end of the compass pierce my skin. I pulled back my finger and looked down at it, the pain gone now and the hole disappeared. This being no shock to me, I resumed getting my compass and pulled it out of my book bag. Looking back up I saw the look of utter shock and amazement in Alice's face.
It was going to happen, I knew it was, but I didn't think it would be nearly this soon. At all of the 21 schools I have attended in my lifetime something has always happened like this. My "problem" or better yet my curse, has kept me from living a normal life. My parents had always thought I was just more advanced, smarter than most kids my age. I discovered I was different when I was merely 3 years old. I remember lying in bed, sick with a cold, my mother was in the kitchen cooking me some soup. I had a high temperature, and my whole body ached. My nose was pouring like a sap tree, but I did not have the strength in me to get up to get a tissue. I continually kept staring at the box of tissues, simply willing them to come to me. Suddenly, the box lifted up. I screamed, and my mom came running in, I thought that there had been a ghost in my room. My mom calmed me down, assured me it was only my fever causing me to imagine things. Come to find out it was far from that. That's when everything started. That's when I realized I could move things with my mind, when I realized that if I was cut, burned, stung, slapped it only hurt for a second, no blood ever appeared and healed on its own. That was when I realized that I could put up something similar to a force field around myself, preventing anything or anyone from touching me. I did this often as a child, like a caterpillar wrapping itself up into its cocoon. All of this causing us to relocate frequently. My parents didn't want society to look at me as a freak, so they never mentioned my problems to any doctor or psychiatrist. It was simply kept between them and I.
In elementary school, I would fall and get scraped and it would heal on its own, all it would take was one person to see, and no more than 3 days later we were up and gone, on to start a new life somewhere else. Once in the seventh grade a girl tried to push me, but was caught off guard when her hand connected with air and simply stopped. Two day later we were gone. My most recent incident, which resulted in our relocation, happened quit unexpectedly. A neighbor boy peaking over the fence had seen a rake float across our yard. I seen him just barley from the corner of my eye and heard his loud gasp. I told my parents and that how we found ourselves here, in Eatonville.
The bell rang and quickly pulled me out of the trance I was in, and the real alarm bells rose in my head when I looked over to see Alice still staring at me, this time with a strange, different look on her face. A look of wonder, but not the same kind of look that most people would get, a more understanding look. I decided to let this one go, and not mention it to my parents, and hope that it would come to pass. Hope that she would think she was hallucinating instead of seeing something miraculous happen to my finger. Giving her a quick smile I threw my book bag over my shoulder, and headed out of the classroom to my next class.

Eons ago, I recall reading novels with mini-scenes and mini-conversations in paragraph format. This was never confusing to me. But the current standard format is paragraph marks between quotes and much shorter paragraphs. Is this sample chapter confusing?
Everything went fine for several weeks.
Then one night, the cook from the picnic walked into the tent with his family. I had no idea he lived in this city. Dr. Wilson gave me a photogenic memory, but his cautious friend at the picnic distracted me before I could memorize anything on his card. He introduced himself at the picnic, so I remembered his name: Robert. Before I left the facility, I reminded Dr. Scott of Robert's offer and asked for the card. "That's a bad idea," he said, "for reasons I can't reveal." By then, I had given up trying to guess the Society's secrets and had given up trying to get any information from Dr. Scott, so I quickly forgot about the card.
"George, my man! What a way for us to meet again!" "Robert!" I said, "What a pleasant surprise!" "We almost didn't come. We didn't even know the circus was coming to town until I got a letter from my father suggesting I take the kids. Well, you never got introduced to my family. This is my wife Ginger, my son Bobby, and my daughter Amber. So what are you doing here, razzle dazzling everybody with your Herculean strength?" "I'm not familiar with the term razzle dazzle," I said as my mind dug the word Herculean out of my vocabulary. "Oh yeah, I forgot, you're not up on idioms. Well, I asked you at the picnic what you wanted to do with your life. I assume this is a temporary gig." I searched for the word gig in my mental dictionary and remembered a circus worker using it when he told me which city we would visit next. "Yes, temporary," I said answered.
Then Bobby said, "Put me on your shoulder!" "I have something better than putting you on my shoulder," I told him. "Why don't I throw you way up there," I said pointing to the ceiling. "Will you catch me when I come down?" he asked. "Of course," I answered.
"Bob!" he wife cried. "Let the kid have some fun," he told her. "I don't understand," I said, "Your card says you're name is Robert. Why did your wife call you Bob." "Bob and Bobby are abbreviations of Robert. My father's name is Robert, too. So I'm Robert Jr and he's Robert 111. Got it?" "I think so," I said.
"Fly! Fly!" Bobby screamed. So I grabbed him under the armpits and tossed him up. "One more time!" he said when he came down. "Bob!!!" his wife cried again. "Alright, alright, once is enough," Robert said. "If you do it again, you'll make things complicated for me when I get in bed tonight." "I don't understand," I said. "I guess the military didn't tell you about the birds and the bees," he answered. "I'm guessing they didn't make a female version of you, either."
Before I could express puzzlement over the term birds and bees, every voice in the tent went silent and every head turned to Robert. "Oops," Robert said looking around. "You didn't hear that," he told the crowd. One of them walked up to him and said, "Is he a military clone?" "We're not supposed to talk about that," Robert said. "Bob!" his wife whispered to him. Then the man turned to me and said, "Did you run away?" "Not exactly," I said. "Well, that's kind of like being a little bit pregnant. Either you ran away or you didn't." Getting an explanation for the idiom a little bit pregnant was at the bottom of my list of priorities. "I can't talk about it," I said. "So you know this guy?" he asked Robert. "Hey, neither of us know you and maybe you shouldn't be so nosy." "Sorry," the man said and turned around. "It's illegal," he said as he walked out of the tent, "even for the government."
Me and Robert breathed a sigh of relieve once he was gone. But then I noticed the tent photographer leave in a hurry. I had a pretty good idea why. He was rushing to tell the circus manager the bad news. Some of the crowd left too.
"So George," Robert said, "why don't we get together before the circus leaves." But his wife was getting agitated and obviously wanted to get the family out of the tent. "Bob!" she whispered again. "I just want to chat for a while and say goodbye," he told her. "This isn't the ideal place for a reunion, you know," he added. "The circus closes late tonight and leaves early tomorrow morning." I told Robert.
Then another photographer walked in and called out, "Alright, who's next?!" "Us," Robert answered. "Bob!" his wife whispered a third time. "It's not a crime to have your picture taken with a clone," he answered. After taking the picture, the photographer transferred it to Robert's handcom and took his money. Then I had him transfer it to my handcom. "I could ask the manager to close my tent early so I can visit you tonight," I suggested. "He probably wants to talk to me immediately anyway. Why don't you come with me." "OK folks, that's all for tonight," the photographer said. Then we all left the tent.
"This is Robert," I told the manager. "We met before I joined the circus, but we didn't get a chance to exchange cards, so I didn't know he lives in this city and he didn't know I was working for the circus." Fortunately Robert kept silent about why we didn't exchange cards. "Tonight might be my last chance to see him for a while. Can you close my tent early." "Sure," the manager said. "But I need to talk to you about what happened in the tent a few minutes ago."
"I can explain about that," Robert offered. "It was me and my big mouth." The manager ignored Robert and said, "It's only a matter of time before word spreads to the media or the military or both. We can't have the circus dragged into this. You need to make plans to leave in a few days. You might want to leave tonight and stay with him."
"You can stay with us for a few days," Robert said. "Bob!" his wife said again. I began to wonder if the name Bob was the only word in her vocabulary. His name was the only word I heard her say at the picnic, too. "Yeah!" Bobby said. "Mommy," Amber asked, "is he going to come home with us?" "Not if I have anything to do with it," Ginger answered. Then she glared at Robert. "He just needs a place to stay long enough to regroup. That will give us time to get reacquainted, too." "But our house isn't big enough for him," Amber said. "He can stay in the tent in the back yard. Your brother can camp out with him." Ginger rolled her eyes and groaned. "Yeah!!!" Bobby said again.
"I have to tend to the circus, George," the manager said. "Let me know what you decide." "I'll go get my things from my trailer," I answered. "I'm sorry about this," I added. "It's happened to us more than once," he answered. "Good luck George." "I'll be right back," I told Robert, then I went to my tent.
While I was packing my bag, I heard two sets of footsteps approach my trailer. I heard the manager say, "He told us there weren't any warrants for him." Then I heard an unfamiliar voice say, "I'm not going arrest him. I'm just going to talk to him." I threw my bag in the corner so it wouldn't look like I was packing. The door opened. The stranger was standing on the steps and the manager was standing on the ground. "Don't do anything rash, George," the manager said, then he left.
The stranger waited long enough for the manager to get out of earshot. Then he said, "Hello, George." "Who are you and what do you want." "I'll ask the questions." He took a badge out of his coat pocket and threw it at me. I glanced at it, memorized the name, agency, and number, and threw it back.
"I haven't committed any crimes." "I didn't say you committed any crimes." When he lit up a cigarette, I said, "Don't come in here with that." I couldn't stand the smell of cirgarette smoke any more than I could stand the smell of alcohol. "I'll stay out here so your circus buddies can eavesdrop." He spoke slow and deliberate. Between each sentence he puffed on the cigarette. He was trying to convince me that he was unintimidated and apathetic. And maybe he was.
"Where's Dr. Wilson?" "I don't know." "What about Captain Miller?" "Who's Captain Miller?" "It was obviously an inside job." "What's an inside job." "Oh yeah, I forgot, they told me to use regular vocabulary." "Who's they?" "Dr. Wilson promised to answer all your questions in due time." "How do you know what Dr. Wilson said to me?" "I read your file, stupid. You think because you confiscated all the records in the facility, there aren't any files on you?" "I didn't confiscate any files." "If it wasn't anybody working in the facility, then who helped you escape?"
I refused to answer. Telling him about the Society would endanger the only group of people who could guarantee my safety. Besides, he might not believe a story about such a secretive and influential group.
"Kidnapping is a felony. So is stealing government property." I stood up. "I didn't kidnap Dr. Wilson, I didn't confiscate any records, and I don't know who Captain Miller is!" He stepped back to the ground and shouted, "You don't want to arrested, George, then tell us where Dr. Wilson and Captain Miller are." I sat down and he walked up the steps again.
Then I had an idea. I didn't have to tell them the Society's whole story, just the part about protecting the world from dangerous science, then let them use their imagination. Since I was working for the circus, they would conclude that the Society had no further involvement with me. "If you tell me who commissioned me, I'll tell you who helped me escape."
He flipped the cigarette butt on the ground and walked into the trailer, but left the door open so I wouldn't get suspicious. I thought he was going to take me up on my offer. Instead, he said, "You chose a good way to survive and good way to stay out of trouble. The best way to avoid the wrong kind of attention, too. But is this what you're going to do for the rest of your life?" Apparently the manager didn't tell him I was planning to leave or that I was planning to visit Robert.
"They can't take the risk that the wrong people will discover what you are. The media might discover who commissioned you, enemies might use your body to build their own superclones to fight us. They don't want Barbara Taylor on their trail - " "Who's Barbara Taylor?" "You're a clone and you don't know who Barbara Taylor is? Don't you have a com? Don't you surf the web? I'm surprised the other clones in the circus haven't told you about her." I wanted to ask how he knew other clones were working in the circus, but I knew he wouldn't tell me. So I asked, "Who is she?" "Do your homework. They don't want her on their trail, so they'll have to find a quieter way of bringing you back or getting rid of you. You're safe with the circus for now, but they'll deal with you sooner or later, one way or another." Then he walked out.
Is this format confusing?

Also, don't underestimate the value of white space on a page. Large blocks of text can be very intimidating to your readers even if they aren't confusing.

A mite confusing
But when more than one person is speaking shouldn't you have a separate paragraph for each speaker? In a couple of those you had up to four people talking.

Harry Clarke 1889–1931 Irish School
Crawford Art Gallery, Emmet Place
Doors 10:00 am - Admission: FREE
One of Ireland's best-known and loved artists, Harry Clarke was born in Dublin in 1889, and trained in the art of stained glass in his father's church decorating workshop, and in the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. While he went on to develop a unique style that was very much influenced by Symbolism, the three windows in the Harry Clarke room on the second floor of the Crawford Art Gallery are important works. Purchased directly from the artist by the Gibson Bequest Committee in 1924, The Consecration of St Mel, Bishop of Longford, by St Patrick (1910), The Godhead Enthroned (1911), and The Meeting of St Brendan with the Unhappy Judas (1911), were made between 1910 and 1911 while Clarke was still a student at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art.

At the Mio Buenos Aires hotel, the bathtubs are works of art: Argentine Mario Dasso personally selects only the most beautiful pieces of calden wood (naturally felled by fire) and carves them into luxurious, oversize soaking tubs.
The coolest bathtubs give guests a sense of their own private in-room spa and look nothing like that old shower-tub combo you may have left back home. Nothing screams "I got away from it all" quite like slipping into a bubble bath—in a basin polished to a sparkle by anyone but you—and admiring a gorgeous view.
The glass-bottomed bathtubs at Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives treat you to an intimate look at hawksbill turtles, lolly fish, and—if you're lucky—dolphins. In California, savvy road-trippers pull over from Highway 1 at Big Sur Cabin, a one-bedroom with a private outdoor courtyard. Twin claw-foot tubs await, surrounded by a wood-burning fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and a redwood picket fence fringed by cacti, ferns, and forget-me-nots.
Some hoteliers have gotten increasingly creative, embracing the trend of bathtubs exposed to the room and even introducing cool bathtubs that appear to levitate above the ground. Yet at the same time, some brands, especially those focused on business travelers, are avoiding the tub altogether. The percentage of tubs planned for new builds in the pipeline for Holiday Inn, part of the InterContinental Hotels group, is between 45 and 55 percent, down from 95 percent 10 years ago.
Even if hotel bathtubs become the exception rather than the rule, the appeal remains deeply and culturally rooted. Tubs date back more than 5,000 years and are historically steeped in ritual—the act of bathing is not only healthy for the body but is considered spiritual by many religions and cultures. If anything, travelers may come to value the hotel bathtub as even more of a coveted amenity than it is today.
Want to make a splash? These high-design tubs are ready for you.

Never been into Isis music, but this Sumac is different.

"Yes, you have annoyed me."
I apologize, that has not been my intent…
I remember after first reading about the Skripal father and daughter poisoning I thought of how interesting their connection to Christopher Steele was, and of how Steele is a likely suspect as well. In fact Steele may prove to be more suspicious than any Russian. What if Skripal knew to much about the phony Steele Dossier? So I wonder could Skripal been poisoned to eliminate an informant? Joe
If England was making an attempt to impose more sanctions onto Russia, well according to this article in the Guardian the best that will happen is the existing sanctions will not be further diluted.
Here Lavrov responses.

Maria Zakharova is angry. I sincerely hope Russia had enough of this shit and will no longer put up with lies and insults of the so called "civilized" leaders.
Read how RT is taking heat in England for the poisoning of the Skripal father and daughter.
It's really becoming scary, not only this nonsense, but I'm sure you heard Tillerson is out, and Pompeo is in as secretary of state, and Gina Haspel, who ran a black site in Thailand is now in charge of the CIA. God, it's getting scary. Pompeo with his anti-Iran deal agenda is now aligned with Trump on that issue. Pompeo's pro-Israeli sentiments, his anti-Russia sentiments are scary. There goes any hope of a normal relationship with Russia, and Israel may just have us fight a war in Iran. Those neoconservatives must be thrilled. Hope Consortium News runs an article on this developing news.
Yes, it is getting scarier.
"Hope Consortium News runs an article on this developing news."…I'm sure someone is working on it right now, Annie. But, yes, it's scary news, although I believe Haspel's nomination could have opposition. As far as Secretary of State goes, Pompeo may be a jackass warhawk, but I think we all know Jared Kushner is the de facto Sec. of State and that thought is even less comforting, as he takes his cues directly from Tel Aviv(or should I now say Jerusalem).
Bob H. Pompeo is a hawk on every issue and he's got Trump's backing on every issue. We need someone who headed the CIA as a secretary of state? He's a hawk on Russia, against the Iran deal, and now the CIA is in an official position of political power. Tillerson offered some balance,
Sure, it is getting scarier. I think the first target is war on Syria by "The West". The ancient city of Damascus is the only one left which is not completely destroyed as yet. They, these new barbarians, will take care of it.
Paul Craig Roberts' take on things :
Annie I wish there were something good to say about Trump's rearrangement of his Cabinet and CIA Director's position, but I'm seeing his changing out of personnel as a bad sign of things to come. Will America go to war with Iran? Well between all of the Neoconservatives and the AIPAC owned U.S. Congress, and throw in a president who has bought into the Iran is bad theme, then placing your bet on war does make sense.
Read the Paul Craig Roberts link irina left for you. Although PCR is going towards attacking identity politics, as he fears the plight of the American white male, his comments on Trump's replacing Tillerson with Pompeo, and his putting the torture mistress Gina Haspel in charge of the CIA, is beyond reasonable comprehension, that is unless one is planning on going to war.
Annie you are always speaking about how tough it is to converse with family and friends who to us seem seriously misinformed, well now this disconnect will become our biggest obstacle to prevent our country from going to war with Iran.
I feel for the many Jews who may someday suffer from the backlash from all of what the Netanyahu's of that stolen little nation Israel has conjured up. I'm throughly convinced that the leaders of Israel are blinded by their own ambitions, and that our U.S. politicians are way too beholden to this Zionist cabal.
Annie I wrote to you, Andrew and Jose yesterday on the comment board under Ray McGovern's article, and my comments went into moderation, well finally you may read them. Stay calm, and follow your instincts, because no matter what you'll do fine. Joe
Joe Tedesky, I read the article from Newsweek on Oliver Stone and it didn't piss me off, it made me laugh. I once wrote a paper in college where my main thesis was that although America would make you believe it encourages individuality, it demands conformity in most aspects of our lives. I thought I might get a D, or an F. I got an A which was quite encouraging. My issue with the educational system is that it does not encourage analytical thinking, and that's true for higher education as well. I think it plays a significant role in why people are so vulnerable to propaganda. I also realize that we are raised to have a patriotic fervor and believe America is the exceptional nation which allows US propaganda to also grab hold so easily. I don't want to be critical of people's religious beliefs, but once again people are asked to accept things on faith alone, and that's okay, but it doesn't encourage critical thinking either. Look at how my senator from NY who used the Torah to make his argument as to why the land of Palestine belongs to the Jewish people, but since Muslims do not believe in the Torah they just don't get it. It was a papal bull that gave Columbus, and those who followed, the justification to plunder the land of the indigenous people's of the America's and used Jesus as their excuse. We plunder the world under the umbrella of spreading democracy, and so it goes. I don't agree there will be backlash against Jewish people because Zionist Israel has a political agenda to gain more regional power. If anything it is quite apparent to me that the American people care little for the lives of Muslims.
Annie it's not a cliche to say that teaching is for everyone. Teaching is truly a talented gift. In my life where I respected the teacher the most by mostly fearing the teacher I either did very good or I skipped class. I use to sell blank report cards in high school. I'd get them through a friend in supply who sold them to me for a dollar, and I'd turn around and sell the unused report card all nice and brand new straight off the printing press for 5 smack a roo's $5 yeah that 4% really adds up I'll tell ya.
What happened with the ex-Russian Skripal father/daughter victims of poisoning by whomever and the way Theresa May and the MSM is handling it needs a citizenry with a knowledge for analytical thinking. Like Assad, why would Putin order such a slap shot assassination attempt? I guess there could be a genius for such a plan as to make Machiavelli jealous, but I doubt it, because at this moment Putin is on top with his new weapon announcement and his overall worldwide opinion rating that Putin does not need too impress anyone with his stupidity. Instead Putin will let that too the likes of Theresa May and David Corn Michael Isikoff do it for him…did I mention Megyn Kelly the Rachel/Joy Ann 'We Hate Putin' show….oh their out there alright. If I do decide to go to a bomb shelter and somebody let's me in if I get door guard duty I'm not letting any of those people in… no not even Megyn, so don't anybody go there.
If it means anything I was one of those 7th graders who preferred when I had a choice to be in 703 with the dumb kids. Nothing against the smart kids, but the dumb kids weren't so dumb as the smart kids,I found out, weren't always that smart.
I think school should set a sense of discipline… I guess there's a time and place for everything, but as my Italian uncles and cousins would always demand out of me…hey, show a little respect, was what you got.
Believe it or not, if things continually get worst and as these events could develope, like this false flag attempted assassination by poison there could become a time where we all, even us who descent to our nation's love of war, that we could be driven to a blind patriotism…I mean when it comes down to that bunch coming over the hill and it's you and family, why there's no tell'n what a fella or gal might have to do to protect there family…. but what we have here, is tomorrow ask a fellow worker a friend, a police officer or a probation officer, if they even know a little bit or anything about Sergei Skripal and his daughter… tell me what happens, and if you get the answer I think you will get it will be Crickets and Owls. I sure hope Annie someone doesn't make you buy lunch for asking such an off beat question.
Annie there's a reason all those Silicone Valley Rich nerds are buying up places in New Zealand… just ask KiwiAntz. I'm not trying to scare you Annie or anyone else, but this beyond being nonsense to the further extremes of America and the UK and their going after Russia is insane, and at this point in this evolution we should do our best to see how to alert people, but if they can't be reached then stand under a doorway or buy several,dozen rolls of duct tape to prepare yourself, but no don't do that. Personally I'll be one of the ones in the middle of the street opening up a six pack after 26 years sober, and lighting up a Lucky Strike after 5 years of quitting smoking if they still make Lucky Strikes I don't know ..but that will be the day that that's that, and that's all that's there, or was there, I'll be thinking that anyway ..I'll be drunk and puffing myself to death I don't need nukes.
On the Jewish backlash thing I do believe there is an already uprise being reported of anti-Semitic violence. I think our American MSM by shying away from reporting it, is disingenuous. as our MSM is purposely disingenuous to the Jewish by not covering the words of Miko Peled or Gideon Levy who speak an entirely different reasoning than the Zionist, and by hiding this alternative Jewish sentiment the non-Jewish of our nation miss the opportunity to hear other Jewish opinions. Jews I don't believe are as lock stepped as to be believed, as for example the American young Jewish who are out there protesting alongside BDS…or at least that's what has been reported. In short we should quit with the broad brush of everything, because what we get is the broadside of nothing. Joe
It is indeed getting scarier. Just when one thought the insanity couldn't get any more insane and asinine. Hooboy. I'm in complete concurrence with you Annie.
The creeping fascism is creeping a little faster each day. We're Germany in the 30s.
" Interfax reports Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova turned up the heat dramatically, warning (or threatening):
"One does not give 24 hours notice to a nuclear power" adding that the "Skripal poisoning was not an incident but a colossal international provocation"
"Not to belabor the point but the idea that the Syrian Arab Army that is totally kicking the ass of the terrorists in East Ghouta is more than unlikely to resort to using chlorine gas.
The idea is demented and the US government and mainstream media makes me sick. Ah, but I am getting off subject.
Anyway, "
Jimmy Choo Suede Kiltie Flats Free Shipping Best Place Cheap Price For Sale Buy Cheap Recommend Sale Really Orange 100% Original nhqv9Wp
Gordon Duff is a corker, but start reading his archive, and then he becomes a corker of a prophet.
Yes, the Steele connection and the anti-Russia pitching of the incident is nearly a confession that this was a false-flag intended to cover up a US/UK conspiracy, likely related to the Steele dossier. I too suspect that Skripal was involved in continuing double agent operations, as he is reported to have maintained handlers on both sides. If Skripal or his daughter survive, their opinions of the cause will be interesting, but likely diversionary.
Sam F you nailed it! People here in the UK dont also understand that May must know this and is lying.Whilst many MPs are simply stupid she has access to many advisors and must know its a false flag and what its purpose is…..
I think there many people in the UK who do not believe this tale. Many of us,have heard it all before.
Theresa May is doing a "Tony Blair" – repeat of the wmd Iraq war justification, it seems .
Most likely, May and a few others in the government must have hand in planning these false flag operations or at least some clue of it beforehand. Especially this latest one, which is filled with many dangers for the entire World. We are witness to this complete insanity taking over "The West". The economic rise of China has unhinged them completely. Russia is back on its feet; they had thought that they had taken care of Russia. They can not stand it. They are hell-bent upon disrupting the Russian Election and the World Soccer Cup.
The leaders of these Imperial Nations of The West are living in their grand imperial delusions;, they have no respect for the sovereignty of Nations beyond The West. It seems like that these not so sane leaders in The West are going to take the Whole World down with them.
I concur completely. Their Imperialistic mind sets are thousands of years out of date. Primitive. They are so psychopathic, criminally insane, and animalistic; they cannot stand for anything to be alive or living without their expressed permission. We as a species have already extincted 55% of all life on this planet and we are expediting that each and every day. If people do not wake up now, it will be too late. Great comment Dave P.
I believe you have it nailed, Dave P. Same conclusions I've come to. Human nature is the only thing giving the heads and bureaucracies of Western national states what credibility they yet have. It's a conditioned habit to 'keep the faith' with them in the delusional belief they will keep us safe and it will all work out OK in the end. Those of us willing to look our 'leaders' in the eye have the profound knowledge of much history to know how easily events can and do spin out of control. Especially with such overweening egos that are currently parading on the world stage. All of this chest-thumping belligerence since the U.S./NATO forced Putin's hand in Crimea is coming due for a "I've had enough" response. Lights out. All over the world.
I'd never heard of this one, so on to Wiki:
Deadliest nerve gas ever, yet the two victims are still alive. Odd how such a precise dosage was managed. Assuming of course the Brits aren't just lying about the poison.
The whole story stinks to high heaven, and I've got to conclude that the entire exercise was either to silence a potential threat to Hillary's Russiagate, or as a generic attempt to tar and feather the evil Russians — again.
"[The Russian public] simply does not believe that President [Vladimir] Putin or anyone in the Russian intelligence would order such a murky way of getting rid of this person – poisoning him in a public place with a highly dangerous substance," said Babich.

As late as March 1991, according to the diary of the British ambassador to Moscow, British Prime Minister John Major personally assured Gorbachev, "We are not talking about the strengthening of NATO." Subsequently, when Soviet defense minister Marshal Dmitri Yazov asked Major about East European leaders' interest in NATO membership, the British leader responded, "Nothing of the sort will happen." (See Document 28)
When Russian Supreme Soviet deputies came to Brussels to see NATO and meet with NATO secretary-general Manfred Woerner in July 1991, Woerner told the Russians that "We should not allow […] the isolation of the USSR from the European community." According to the Russian memorandum of conversation, "Woerner stressed that the NATO Council and he are against the expansion of NATO (13 of 16 NATO members support this point of view)." (See Document 30)
Thus, Gorbachev went to the end of the Soviet Union assured that the West was not threatening his security and was not expanding NATO. Instead, the dissolution of the USSR was brought about by Russians (Boris Yeltsin and his leading advisory Gennady Burbulis) in concert with the former party bosses of the Soviet republics, especially Ukraine, in December 1991. The Cold War was long over by then. The Americans had tried to keep the Soviet Union together (see the Bush "Chicken Kiev" speech on August 1, 1991). NATO's expansion was years in the future, when these disputes would erupt again, and more assurances would come to Russian leader Boris Yeltsin.
The Archive compiled these declassified documents for a panel discussion on November 10, 2017 at the annual conference of the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) in Chicago under the title "Who Promised What to Whom on NATO Expansion?" The panel included:
* Mark Kramer from the Davis Center at Harvard, editor of the Journal of Cold War Studies , whose 2009 Washington Quarterly article argued that the "no-NATO-enlargement pledge" was a "myth"; [4]
* Joshua R. Itkowitz Shifrinson from the Bush School at Texas AM, whose 2016 International Security article argued the U.S. was playing a double game in 1990, leading Gorbachev to believe NATO would be subsumed in a new European security structure, while working to ensure hegemony in Europe and the maintenance of NATO; [5]
* James Goldgeier from American University, who wrote the authoritative book on the Clinton decision on NATO expansion, Not Whether But When , and described the misleading U.S. assurances to Russian leader Boris Yeltsin in a 2016 WarOnTheRocks article; [6]
* Svetlana Savranskaya and Tom Blanton from the National Security Archive, whose most recent book, The Last Superpower Summits: Gorbachev, Reagan, and Bush: Conversations That Ended the Cold War (CEU Press, 2016) analyzes and publishes the declassified transcripts and related documents from all of Gorbachev's summits with U.S. presidents, including dozens of assurances about protecting the USSR's security interests.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – In a battle that would determine first place in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference women's tennis standings, MIT came out swept the doubles matches against Wellesley College and then split the singles matches with the Blue to come away with a 6-3 victory. The win lifts MIT into sole possession of first place in the NEWMAC standings, moving the Engineers to 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the NEWMAC. Wellesley fell to 3-2 and 2-1 in the conference

Playing at No. 5, Hsu held off Abby Esrock in the first set before going on to take a 7-5, 6-1 win.
Wellesley bounced back with a pair of wins, with Catherine Matulis taking a 6-4, 6-2 win over sophomore Michelle Dutt (Gurnee, Ill.) at No. 4 and Diana Granger getting a 6-4, 6-2 decision over senior Candace Wu (Yorba Linda, Calif.) at No. 2.

2013 North Dakota Waterfowl Regulations Set
North Dakota's 2013 waterfowl season has been set, with noteworthy changes including an increase in the daily limit of Canada and snow geese, and the possession limit for most migratory birds.
Opening day for North Dakota residents is Sept. 21 for ducks, geese, coots and mergansers. Nonresidents may begin hunting waterfowl in North Dakota Sept. 28. The season for swans opens Sept. 28 for both residents and nonresidents.
Hunters may take six ducks per day with the following restrictions: five mallards of which two may be hens, three wood ducks, three scaup, two redheads, two pintails and two canvasbacks. The daily limit of five mergansers may include no more than two hooded mergansers. For ducks and mergansers, the possession limit is three times the daily limit.
The hunting season for Canada geese in the Missouri River zone will close Dec. 27, while the remainder of the state will close Dec. 21. The season for whitefronts closes Dec. 1, while the season on light geese is open through Dec. 29. Shooting hours for all geese are one-half hour before sunrise to 1 p.m. each day through Nov. 2. Beginning Nov. 3, shooting hours are extended until 2 p.m. each day.
Extended shooting hours for all geese are permitted from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset on Saturdays and Wednesdays through Nov. 27, and on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays from Nov. 30 through the end of each season.
The bag limit for Canada geese during the regular season is eight daily and 24 in possession, except in the Missouri River zone where the limit is five daily and 15 in possession.
The daily limit on whitefronts is two with six in possession, and light goose is 50 daily, with no possession limit.
The special youth waterfowl hunting season is Sept. 14-15. Legally licensed residents and nonresidents 15 years of age or younger can hunt ducks, coots, mergansers and geese statewide. Youth hunters must have a general game and habitat license and a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate. A licensed adult at least 18 years of age must accompany the youth hunter into the field.
Nonresidents have the option of buying either a statewide waterfowl license or one with zone restrictions. Nonresidents who designate zones 1 or 2 may hunt that zone for only one seven-day period during the season. Nonresident hunters who chose to hunt in zone 1 or 2 and wish to use the full 14 consecutive days allowed, must use the other seven days in zone 3. Hunters in zone 3 can hunt that zone the entire 14 days.
In accordance with state law, nonresidents are not allowed to hunt on North Dakota Game and Fish Department wildlife management areas or conservation PLOTS (Private Land Open To Sportsmen) areas from Oct. 12-18.
All migratory bird hunters, including waterfowl, must register with the Harvest Information Program prior to hunting. Hunters purchasing a license from the Game and Fish Department can easily get a HIP number. Otherwise, hunters must call (888) 634-4798, or log on to the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov, provide the registration information, and record the HIP number on their fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate. Those who HIP registered to hunt this spring's light goose season or early fall Canada goose season do not have to register again, as it is required only once per year.
The waterfowl rest areas previously established in Barnes and Nelson counties have been eliminated.
Hunters should refer to the 2013 North Dakota Waterfowl Hunting Guide for further details on the waterfowl season. Paper copies will be at license vendors in early September.

This can happen when cpu speed is detected incorrectly which often occurs when SpeedStep is enabled. Bad data can also occur when other programs run during a benchmark -- you might see all timings are too high or you might see a smaller FFT taking more than a larger FFT. By flagging these bad benchmarks, the main benchmark page will report more accurate average timings. Check to confirm you want to mark benchmarks suspectIf someone has inadvertantly marked good benchmark data suspect, you can vote for marking the benchmark valid.If the stock CPU speed is not set correctly, you can set the stock CPU speed so that we correctly identify overclocked and underclocked benchmarks.Stock CPU speed:
