TWD crash on connecting
I am on my way home now. Will do ones i get there.
My bandwidth is 10 MBi/S and i am from Israel. Connected via Bezeqint ISP.
Already said it persisted through a different router but i will come back home and swap them for the test. Also i am about to recieve a new lan card so i will try that too, and i have downloaded XP so will run VMWare player and see if there is a difference via that
Downloading HWInfo thingy... While the website was off i noticed a very annoying thing. Even with that batch file you gave me the game would still crash at any point i need to make a certain choice (Not all).... Or maybe it's where it auto saves? I am not sure but it still does crash in mid game unless i disconnect internet all together
Okay here is the attachment of the HMiNFO thingy you asked for.
By the way i tried it with a different router and have the same issue as well as connecting with my wireless adapter to my neighbors and still no luck. The game crashes regardless
The game does track the decisions you make and sends them to TTG for the statistics.
I haven't checked yet when it does that, but it's possible that that caused the crash.
I don't understand though why it would crash with the workaround, while the site is offline for maintenance. It should not be able to make any internet connection, and therefore should not notice if the site is online or not. Also the maintenance concerns the websites, not api.telltalegames.com and meta.telltalegames.com. I haven't checked yet if it does connect to additional servers than those for the decision tracking, but i don't see why it should, and again it should not matter because of the game being firewalled. Maybe it's a coincidence.
Thanks for trying the router an neighbors WiFi. Now we can be sure that it's something about your hardware. If it works in the VM, that would confirm that, since then most of the hardware doesn't matter that much anymore.
I'll dig through the HWInfo now.
I was hoping for it to show the Motherboard Model.
Do you happen to know that?
Can you also name the Manufacturer and Model of the PC, if available?
Motherboard is a Gigabyte product - Model GA-P55-US3L
It's SN is 094140091684
What do you mean by manufacturer and model of PC? I got it by parts, not a whole piece from the shop. Bought the parts separately and gave them for assembly in a PC shop as i didn't have the CPU glue etc...
Thanks, that's good information.
I found something new we can try to fix it.
I noticed some really old chipset drivers in the HWInfo. Your BIOS also has never been updated.
I suggest you update to the Win7-64 drivers available on the Gigabyte website.
Please skip "Realtek Ethernet Diagnostic Utility" and "GIGABYTE SATA2 Preinstall driver ", because they are used in special cases only.
For now, postpone the BIOS update and see if that helps first.
Downloading and installing now. I don't know how to install BIOS and all of my friends were telling me i better get away from it as far as possible as i can gimp the whole PC and it'll take me ages to work out in a PC store -.-
And besides.... BIOS? How is it even relevant to a program that is run via Windows?
Just installed everything and still no luck. Crashed at same point. I am installing Windows XP on VMWare Player now
Bummer, but that's at least one more thing we can check off the list.
The BIOS controls how your PC works on a lower level. The Operating System builds up on that. There's always a risk in updating the BIOS, that's why i suggested to postpone it.
It's been much riskier on old systems though. According to the Manual your Mainboard has a backup BIOS, which it copies back in case the main BIOS doesn't work, so updating is a lot safer on it.
Let's keep it as a last resort.
My problem is that so far any hardware driver updating didn't do anything, and more to it - The game works... It just does. It's not that i am having issues to run the game, no. The game runs almost perfectly (I will explain later) and the only issue is that it crashes whenever it tries to connect to the game server or wherever it tries to. I believe that if it was a hardware issue or driver issue then the game would've not started to begin with.
I am kind of afraid of updating BIOS, specially as for me it is a dark dark forest... And i have no idea how to restore old one or whatever
Can i have a hint on how can i get my installed "The Walking Dead" to just be copied into VMWare player? Instead of me downloading the whole thing again on the virtual machine?
Have you already installed VMWare Tools?
If so, you can copy the "\Steam\SteamApps\common\the walking dead" folder to the VM by dragging it onto it, and move it to the respective folder in the VM.
I don't know how steam reacts to that procedure though. At any rate i would verify the game cache files afterwards.
Okay, just have tested it all. It works on the VMWare machine. Now can you please tell me what it means? Does it means my hardware is ok? Or that... I dunno -.- i really don't know anymore what might be the reason for it
I am starting to think it might be my windows? I don't know... This is the only game that doesn't work on my system and i see no reason for it. Anything else does, regardless of connection to the internet... I just don't get it
Edit 2:
Gonna put my own Windows unto VMWare (No updates or anything just raw windows) and see what happens then
It's difficult to draw conclusions.
It's mainly told us that it's not a Steam issue, and that the game can work on your system in general, if the problem is not triggered by whatever is not present in the VM.
Since the virtualized hardware is entirely different, that's a lot.
It's some kind of incompatibility on either hardware or software. Since your windows installation is new, software is unlikely, unless there's something unusual about your Windows 7 installation CD.
If you are still up to trying stuff. You could rule that out by running Win7 in the VM. I just suggested XP first, because it's small and different, to maximize the chances.
If you have a spare hard disk, you could also try XP on your real hardware. If it would happen there too, that would be really strange, and harden the evidence for something hardware related. That would be the more interesting test.
Unfortunately i have no spare hard disk =/
I am trying to install W7 on VMWare now.... With my own installation CD so yeah we'll see
Just installed my own W7 CD on VMW - Works there too -.-
So it is hardware i assume.... Just great -.-
So it is hardware i assume.... Just great -.-
It doesn't necessarily mean that your hardware is defective. Possibly the game is just incompatible in some weird way with some hardware.
It is still possible though, that the same doesn't happen on XP, Vista or Windows 8, on the same hardware. They might do something just different enough to not trigger the problem. Although Windows 8 is not officially supported, so it would be a bad choice to test on it.
Ideally we would have a second similar system for comparison, but that's hard to get, since the mainboard can not even be bought anymore. That's probably one of the most critical components in trying to reproduce it.
Well i tested it on W7 on VMWare, from the same CD i used with no updates at all and it just worked.
Please tell me what else can i do? Or when you have a new idea. I'll be waiting for a reply here
Currently i only have ideas left which are quite extreme.
- As i mentioned, trying other windows versions on your hardware
- Trying a different Mainboard
Besides that, there's still the odd chance that one of the many BIOS updates released for the board fixed something that causes it.
But if it was BIOS wouldn't it still not work on VMWare? As it uses the same? I am not sure, just asking.
And i will try and see if i can find another hard drive... Just not sure... At the very least i will install Windows XP on my second partition (I have partition C and D seperated) and delete it later manually (Like shift+delete from W7) i guess... Just so i have two systems to boot from
VMWare has its own simulated BIOS.
Be careful, installing an older windows on another partition will at least overwrite the Bootloader and make the other windows inaccessible.
I just started some specific searching and found something awesome.
Look at this post and the dxdiag two posts below.
Almost the same system, and it also crashes on connecting. The Mainboard might be slightly different, but it also identifies as
System Manufacturer: GBT___
System Model: GBTUACPI
and is also based on the P55 chipset.
EDIT: Wait, there's another one and another one
That's good news, since it seems to be Mainboard related.
So yeah i read through it, only useful thing i've found was an update for Direct X which i didn't try yet. Rest of them are saying it works fine when switching internet off, well it does as well for me but i see no reason for it to be like that and i do need internet connection while playing so that's a solution, just not for me. And i don't see a reason why the game support team never actually posts in this forum? Only moderators (Which are supposed to moderate the forum and not solve tech issues - But just still being very awesome!)
The only posts i've seen from devs are looking like that :
"Which version of the game you have" etc.. -.- which is kind of frustrating as they do not pay attention to majority of people who started to thread and have the same issue but look at certain cases which are not related to the topic of the thread.
At any rate - Yes the game works when i turn internet off. However it is not satisfying as it doesn't work properly. It should work without requiring me to turn off anything just like the majority of users do
A lot of DxDiag's -.- kinda hard to read through it all, and a lot of people posting about random issues in the same post and keeping it hard to track what exactly kind of solution worked for which issue -.-
I was not posting it to say there is another solution in there somewhere, but to confirm that it's very likely an incompatibility with your mainboard.
I pointed that out in my Mod Forum thread, and am currently searching the forums for other chipsets/mainboards affected.
Well it would be great to know that it is the issue, but then -.- that means i need to change my mainboard just for 1 game for it to run properly -.- which is kind of ... Ehhh... >_>
Yeah, i see what i mean. So far working around it is the most reasonable solution.
At least now there is the possibility it can be reproduced by TTG if they get the same mainboard, which is the first step to figuring out why it happens.
Would be way more appreciated if there could be a patch to fix it. But hey man! Thanks for trying to help me so much ^.^ You're awesome! Waiting for a verification about the mainboard
You did an awesome job too.
I just had the thought, that some default BIOS setting could be the cause.
Do you know which Revision of the Mainboard you have?
I could check if you told me how to or where at =P
And about BIOS - If you can give me a guaranteed way to install BIOS and then if it doesn't work how to restore the previous one?
Here's an image of the mainboard.
You can see the revision in the upper left corner, on the image it is Rev:1.0.
That's needed for the BIOS update too. The Mainboard restores the previous one automatically, but i'll have to check the manual for your revision. I had an arbitrary 2.x revision manual before.
Motherboard is "Rev 1.0 PCB"
Okay. I suggest first you download the latest manual for your mainboard.
There are instructions on how to update the BIOS on pages 70-73.
I suggest you first read these pages, so you know what's next ahead of time.
It also has the DualBIOS protection i mentioned earlier, to protect from broken BIOS flashes.
It describes two possible ways.
One is under windows, the other one is run from the BIOS itself using the Q-Flash utility. Since the greatest risk in a BIOS update is interruption, i suggest using Q-Flash, as described on page 70ff, as there are no other processes in the background as in windows which could cause problems.
First, download the latest BIOS into an empty folder. Run it, to extract the files. Then copy the p55us3l.f7 to a USB stick. The USB stick has to be FAT32 formatted to be recognized by Q-Flash, which most are by default.
That was the most error prone part already, mentioned in step 1 and 2 of the manual.
Continue with the other steps from the manual to start the update.
Sorry i did not reply yesterday, been talking with fiancee.
I will try that today after work i guess, just have very high doubts it'll change anything and on top of that i am really worried i'll ruin my BIOS.
You don't have to try it, if you don't feel confident about it. Maybe you know someone who's done it before, who can guide you through it.
I have two requests from TTG:
Please try if it also crashes during a clean boot, without USB devices, and with all other applications closed down.
Also, if the modem is separate, please try connecting to the Modem directly.
Booting clean in Windows Vista / 7:
1. Click Start --> Type msconfig --> Press Enter
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
3. Uncheck Load Startup Items
4. Select the Services tab
5. Check Hide all Microsoft services
6. Click Disable all
7. If running the game on Steam, re-check the "Steam Client Service"
8. Click on OK
9. Click Restart.
10. After reboot, run the game to see if it works.
After performing the necessary steps, restore your settings by doing the following:
1. Click Start --> Type msconfig --> Press Enter
2. On the General tab, choose Normal Startup
3. Click Ok
4. Click Yes, when asked to restart your computer
We already have tried a clean boot before, and besides that i have been trying it out myself and have configured my router as a bridge (Aka i had to use a dialer to connect to the internet just like with a modem) and it have done the same crash.
I will get back home and will try the clean boot again
Back home. I will postpone the BIOS thingy as much as possible, about the two requests i have just configured my router as bridge again and ran my PC in a "Clean Boot" and executed a dialer to connect to the internet. Still the same. I have disconnected my headset and anything out from USB except my mouse and keyboard - Still no luck
Anything else i can try out?
Anything else i can try out?
Thanks for trying, i forwarded the information.
Today I had some more ideas what can be tried, which are actually network related.
- You can try disabling the windows firewall entirely
- Disconnect the wireless adapter, and keep the wired one. In the properties of the wired network adapter, disable everything except "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
I usually am never using the wireless adapter, i plugged it in for testing alone. It never is part of my PC any ways to begin with. I am using it only to connect to the printer and that's happening very rarely :P
Gonna try disabling protocols
Just did - All the same
Hmm. Just out of curiosity, what happens if you disable IPv4 too?
Kills internet entirely (Obviously, but i tried it just for the fun XD)
Basically same as disabling "Local Area Connection" all together, there are only rare programs that are able to run with IPV6 - And ISP's are not registering you on the internet with IPV6 yet...

And, as for spring cleaning, this bread used up all my dried figs, my raisins, AND some prunes, plus the rest of my soy yogurt tub, and almost all of my leftover homemade candied orange peel. How rad is that? I just finished the last piece this morning (straight out of the freezer!), and I think I'll have to make more pronto. It's one of my favorite things ever.
I feel like a bit of a jerko, because I realize now that I only took glam shots of the things I made. I'll blame it on my pulled calf muscle, and my strong desire to not be standing around. Anyhow, I did get a good pic of both my dinner and my dessert plates!
Up top:
Sophia and Max brought some amazing mini loaves of Sour Rye Bread with Sauerkraut in it (using up their leftover sauerkraut), AND they brought some amazing Aged Vegan Cheddar from Artisan Vegan Cheese. It had been aging and they hadn't tried it yet. It was really delicious, and paired super well with their lovely bread. You could totally taste the sauerkraut in the bread!
Miss A addressed her "orzo problem" and brought a really lovely Orzo Salad with Roasted Asparagus and Almond Pesto (the pesto was from Yellow Rose Recipes). This salad was so good! One of our potluck traditions is to divvy up the leftovers afterwards, and I must say, this salad was even more delicious for lunch the next day. It turns out Orzo is really a good shape for pasta salad!
Sophia and Max have been experiencing a crazy arugula explosion in their garden, so they brought a lovely and simple fresh Arugula Salad.
Also, they won the WHAT IS THAT award with a totally wild Korean Acorn Gel with a savory sauce. The sole ingredients were: water, salt, and acorn flour! Have you ever had this? Honestly, I can't say I loved it. The sauce was super delicious, but after a few bites, I got freaked out by the texture. Still, we were all totally impressed with Sophia's courage at attacking a 100% new-to-us ingredient!
Nikki brought along a pitcher of super delicious Mint Lemonade. It was thick like a slushy and full of fresh mint. I think she said it was from the 30-Minute Vegan, which I just bought, so I'll have to look it up. She used the abundance of mint and lemons from her landlords' garden... the land of plenty! This drink was really delicious and refreshing, and I want to make some for myself!

New England editorial roundup
Hartford (Conn.) Courant, Dec. 18, 2012
In the midst of all the heartache, it's appropriate to praise public officials who rose to the grim occasion and have been of special comfort to the people of Newtown in their sorrow.
Public servants such as Newtown First Selectwoman E. Patricia Llodra, President Barack Obama and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. They comforted a stricken community that was slowly coming to terms with the incalculable loss of 20 children and the six brave women who died trying to save them in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre last week.
As well, these public servants and others conveyed to the rest of the world the extraordinary pain felt by Connecticut in particularly touching and effective ways.
The popular Ms. Llodra spoke eloquently for her wounded community when she told the world that Newtown is "a strong and caring place. We will put our arms around those families and around each other. We will find a way to heal so that all our residents, young and old, will again find peace."
Mr. Obama was particularly effective in letting Newtown know it was not alone. The president wept for the nation, and in talking to the victims' families at length Sunday night, put the nation's arms around their shoulders.
Mr. Malloy was magnificent in his compassion. This is a public official one might think better suited to leading a response to a hurricane or bargaining hard on a budget or union contract. But in Newtown he took on the hardest task any human being can � telling waiting parents that their children would not be coming home� and then tried to lift spirits with two poetic and inspirational addresses.
The list is long of local and state officials who also did heroic work coming to the aid of, comforting and advocating for the survivors and the community � including the teachers, aides and other adults who endured the assault on the elementary school and the first responders to the shooting � or facing the cameras to tell the world what they knew about the horrific event.
State police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance deserves special mention. Because of the state's "one-source-of-information" philosophy, he in many ways has been Connecticut's face during the worldwide news media coverage of this terrible crime. He has come across as professional and competent, serving Connecticut well.
Public officials don't always meet our expectations. They did at Newtown.
Connecticut Post, Dec. 19, 2012
The horrific tragedy in Newtown on Friday has cast the eyes of the nation -- indeed the world -- on a community in overwhelming grief.
The deaths of 27 innocent people -- 20 of them little children, just 6 and 7 years old -- at the hand of a madman with guns has also cast a bright spotlight on the failure of this nation to take significant action to try to prevent such atrocities.
There have been more than 30 mass shootings in the United States since 12 students and a teacher were murdered at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, including the slaughter of 32 people at Virginia Tech in 2007 and the assassination attempt on Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords that left her critically injured and six others, including a 9-year-old girl, dead.
And yet this nation has failed to act.
We can wait no longer.
It is well past time for a serious, thoughtful, non-partisan national conversation that leads to meaningful action.
That conversation needs to include a discussion about the sensible regulation of guns in this country.
We support the Second Amendment, which guarantees Americans the right to bear arms.
But we do not support the right of anyone besides the military and law enforcement officials to possess assault rifles, high-capacity magazine clips and other implements that provide the capability to kill many people quickly.
And we believe all Americans -- gun owners, non-gun owners, Republicans, Democrats, everyone -- should agree that such weaponry must be outlawed.
The conversation about guns must also focus on enforcement of existing laws, cracking down on the gun show loophole, ensuring background checks and maintaining an updated national data bank.
The national conversation must also address mental health issues.
Most of the gunmen -- some would say all -- in the mass shootings of the past 13 years have been deemed to suffer from some sort of mental illness or emotional disturbance.
As a nation, we need to more effectively recognize and assist those who struggle mentally or emotionally, and we need to eliminate the stigma attached to seeking professional help.
We need to spend more -- not less, as we have steadily been doing over the past decade -- for treatment of mental health problems and to increase access to such treatment.
Other issues must be part of the conversation, too -- parenting, bullying and the impact of rampant violence in various aspects of the American culture, including video games, movies and television.
President Barack Obama promised in Newtown Sunday night to take action to address the causes of these tragedies. We urge him to follow through on that commitment, as he began to do on Wednesday.
We also call on Connecticut's Washington delegation to help lead a healthy national conversation and successful enactment of legislation.
We also encourage local governmental, school, community and religious leaders to discuss and seek ways to help reduce the potential for another mass shooting.
The victims of Sandy Hook deserve nothing less.

The workforce and ways of working are in the midst of an epic transition. By 2020, millennials will comprise 46 percent of the workforce, which creates an unusual "barbell" of late-retiring boomers and more digital savvy young people. Rarely is it necessary to work opposite ends of a spectrum at the same time, but it's essential now. Add in the challenges of retaining talent, and it's imperative for leaders and managers to be more aware and more skillful.
If your organization is transforming markets or transforming itself, millennials can be a tremendous boon. In general, they bring four transformative attitudes and attributes to the workforce: They are 1) digitally savvy, 2) ready for change, 3) mission focused, and 4) transparency biased. What's more, 29 percent of entrepreneurs today are millennials, so engage them in building your business or they'll build their own.
Having said that, their fresh ideas and attitudes don't always come with operating experience or high self awareness. High energy and low experience can frustrate more seasoned and efficient colleagues. To tap the full skill set and mindshare of your mixed workforce to increase your business's agility and accelerate results and digital transformation, you'll likely need more agile management approaches and new communication tools – your management approach shouldn't be older than the people you manage! In this slideshow, Deidre Paknad, CEO of Workboard, has identified tips that can help you engage and enable today's workforce.

Crowdfunding – Is it Right for Your Business? Where Do You Start?
Crowdfunding – Is it Right for Your Business? Where Do You Start?
Heard the buzz about crowdfunding but not sure how it can help you finance your business? Is crowdfunding even right for you?
Here's some information and tips that will help explain crowdfunding concepts and how you can take advantage of them to fund your business.
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a collective cooperation of people who network and pool their money and resources together, usually via the Internet, to support efforts initiated by other organizations. Unlike angel investments, in which an investor takes a large state in a small business, with crowdfunding, you can literally attract a "crowd" of people – each of whom takes a small stake in a business idea by contributing towards an online funding target. This spreads the risk among backers and creates a strong network of support for your business. If you offer equity as part of your package, your investors can also become ambassadors for your brand.
With the tough economic climate, crowdfunding has become a popular and alternative method of raising finance for a business, real estate investments, projects or ideas and has become popularized online by sites such as Kickstarter, Wefunder, crowdfunder and RockthePost.
IMPORTANT: Large crowdfunding investments are currently limited to SEC-accredited investors. Change is coming, however, and soon the investors like you and I will be able to enter the crowdfunding market. Currently, the amount an un-accredited investor can invest is capped at 5-10 percent of your income. More on this below.
Crowdfunding to become a lot easier for small businesses
Following up on from my last point above, it will soon become a lot easier for small businesses to raise money online via crowdfunding thanks to the signing into law of the JOBS Act by President Obama in April 2012. However, the SEC is still in the rule-making process and is due to publish final regulations before non-SEC-accredited investors can start financing small businesses. Final rulings are expected this summer.
What does the JOBS Act enable? Well, businesses seeking crowdfunding will be able to raise as much as $1 million a year without having to do a public offering – a step requiring state-by-state regulations. Previously, small businesses were also limited to seeking investment from SEC-accredited investors only; non non-accredited investors (you and I) can invest in start-ups.
How to prepare your business for crowdfunding
While the JOBS Act should be implemented soon, here are a few things you can do to get ahead while you wait.
- Incorporate your business – It's possible that only C corporations will be in a position to take advantage of crowdfunding opportunities. This is because S corporations have a 100-shareholder limit, effectively precluding the use of crowdfunding. Talk to a lawyer or a local small business organization like your SBA District Office or SCORE to help you explore and select the right entity.
- Start writing or refining your business plan – This will help you determine the amounts of financing you are looking to raise. It can also help you outline your business expectations and alleviate any concerns potential investors may have about how valid your venture is and how serious you are about it. SBA's Build a Business Plan tool can help you walk through these steps. It's an easy-to-use interactive online template that you can work on, save anytime and download when you're finished.
- Get your accounting records in order – Part of the new JOBS Act will require entrepreneurs to follow SEC-compliant guidelines in regard to providing accurate, transparent and up-to-date financial statements and due diligence reports. Balance sheets, cash flow statements, financial projects and more will help you build your credibility with potential investors and are required before you even launch your fundraising campaign, so be prepared.
- Get your CPA or accountant involved – Be sure to consult with a qualified CPA to stay on top of legislation. If you're seeking between $100,000 and $499,000, then then you'll need to have your financial statements reviewed by an independent public accountant. Over $500k? Then you'll need to have those statements audited. It's never too early to get started with this process.
Tips for successful crowdfunding
One key to getting what you want from crowdfunding is understanding the commitment it entails. This means having a careful strategy. Start by perfecting your pitch. Keep it simple. If your pitch doesn't connect with your target investors, then crowdfunding may not be for you.
Next, make sure you have the resources in place to promote your pitch daily (and keep it simple – you want to make it easy for prospective investors to connect with your idea). Create and maintain momentum by being responsive; take calls, answer emails, use social media or an email list to help you meet your target.
Think about ways to create a buzz around your business. Find out who your potential investors are well in advance of your listing and find out what entices them to invest.
Be prepared for questions from investors now. How do you plan to spend the money? Do you have an exit strategy? What are your short- and long-term goals? What insurance protection do you have in place for your business and investors? Have you completed the due diligence process? Do you have trademarks, patents or copyright in place?
Some tips about crowdfunding sites
Existing crowdfunding sites are probably your best option when it comes to raising funds. If you want to set up your own crowdfunding portal, you'll need to get SEC approval.
Remember, third party sites are essentially middlemen; they make points of fees by matching up companies or individuals to raise funds. To ensure you are doing the right due diligence, it's well worth consulting both an accountant and a lawyer to protect your interests.

In the past few months, there has been an extraordinary amount of press on Brutalist architecture, most of which has centered on the controversy of whether or not to demolish Paul Rudolph's Orange County Government Center. The front-page article in the New York Times on April 7, "Architecture's Ugly Ducklings May Not Get Time to Be Swans," served as a catalyst for an explosion of newspaper, journal, magazine, and blog articles about the building and its Brutalist style, including pages and pages of reader comments.
There has certainly been controversial preservation battles throughout history. It is rare however to see so much emotion on both sides this heavily covered in the press. Based on these articles, one would assume Brutalism is despised by everyone with the general sentiment that they are "ugly." Brutalist buildings are portrayed as "eyesores" designed by "egotistical elitists." They are misinterpreted as vicious attacks against society, as cheaply made, quickly put together buildings with little thought behind them. In reality, they were carefully designed by architects who strived to return to architecture that was for the people – that provided stability, protection, monumentality, and an honest expression of materials. There was a tremendous amount of craft that went into the carpentry of creating the formwork and finishing the concrete surfaces.
It was Le Corbusier who coined the term "beton brut" – translating in English to "raw concrete" -- while constructing his Unite d'Habitation in Marseille, France (completed in 1952). This raw-ness, or "brut"-ness, was picked up by architects internationally, forming an architectural style that we now call "Brutalism." While this style is most associated with concrete, it is meant to describe buildings of the 1950s through the early 1970s showcasing masonry materials in an honest, monumental way, reflecting back to history but with a modern interpretation. It was a reaction against the modernism of the early 1900s that claimed to honestly express materiality, but was in fact coating each building with plaster and paint.
Instead of using "Brutalism" as a way of accurately categorizing this architectural movement, it has become a way of describing any and all concrete modernist buildings the public finds displeasing. The very same communities that commissioned these buildings forty years ago ironically are now calling for their demolition. New ideas and social change of the mid-20th century with a desire for bold architecture seems to have been replaced by safe neo-Classicist designs.
Despite the negative perception surrounding Brutalism, most of these buildings have groups that coalesce around them, suggesting a resurgence of appreciation for this type of architecture. Orange County Government Center has The Taxpayers of Orange County, Bertrand Goldberg's Prentice Women's Hospital has Save Prentice, Marcel Breuer's Pirelli Tire Company building had the Long Wharf Advocacy Group. On top of these localized campaigns, state, national, and international preservation organizations are now giving Brutalist buildings the attention they deserve. Within the preservation and academic communities, there is an understanding this architectural style is significant and worthy of preservation.
So why is it more difficult to convey this significance to the general public than it is for other building types? Does it come down to taste? If so, this is a well-covered issue for preservation as our profession was born out of distaste for earlier styles of architecture now commonly considered both historic and beautiful. Most pro-Brutalist preservation articles bring up how there were generations before that reviled Victorian houses and Art Deco buildings and one day there will be a generation that loves Brutalist buildings just as much as other styles.
And then there are people like me – people who truly think Brutalism is beautiful and are waiting to be identified as the "new generation." I am moved by each building's boldness, the dark weathered, rough surfaces. I am consistently in awe of the board imprints in the gray concrete, the exposed aggregate in a sandblasted precast unit, or the hand-tooled "corduroy" detailing. When visiting Marseille, France, I was not in the city itself for longer than ten minutes; I could not pull myself away from Le Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation. I assure you that I am not alone. I am surrounded by friends and family who are this new generation and who understand the beauty of these buildings. Perhaps we already have a new generation that embraces Brutalism not only because of its historical, architectural, and social value, but because it is beautiful.
There are other possibilities for why Brutalism elicits such a negative response. Perhaps it is the word "Brutalism" itself and its perceived root from the English word "Brutal". Without understanding how it references Le Corbusier's French derived "beton brut" or "raw", how would the general public know the subtle difference? It is also possible people think the name implies the buildings are intentionally and literally hostile. Boston-based architects Michael Kubo, Mark Pasnik, and Chris Grimley curated an exhibit in 2009 called "Heroic" in order to make this switch from referring to these mid-century concrete masterpieces as "Brutalist" to "Heroic" for the very purpose of altering the image of these buildings.
This brings us back to a more general issue of education through information and experience. Fieldtrips, tours and open houses are excellent ways for people to get close, see the craftsmanship, the rawness and the power. From far away, these special details can often go unnoticed. Communication about the history of Brutalist buildings and how their architects were responding to all sorts of architectural and social concerns in the 1950s-1970s would also go a long way to providing context for future discussions.
In addition to perception, maintenance is also a considerable issue. Because Brutalist buildings are still relatively young and have not been treated as heritage structures, they have been ill taken care of. Ad hoc repairs have rendered their surfaces scarred, and while a Dutch repair on stone may be well accepted, a patch on a uniform surface of concrete has a much more jarring effect. Many buildings have also been cleaned insensitively, softening the formboard impressions, which in turn removes a significant part of their character.
Brutalist buildings are misunderstood creatures. Identification as "Brutalist," insensitive alterations, and the misinterpretation of their history has made preservation controversial. However, the amount of press that has been generated as a result of this debate is encouraging, and may have contributed to the 11 to 10 vote by the Orange County Legislature to oppose financing the replacement of Paul Rudolph's masterpiece. While there is still work to do on behalf of "beton brut", recent discussions have positively resulted in greater exposure and hopefully greater understanding for this important architectural style.

Interdisciplinary team uses OEIP Spin In program to create iPhone app
In 2012, University of Delaware faculty members Jules Bruck and Anthony Middlebrooks created the iDEA Fan Deck, a handheld design-based tool that provides prompts for people needing problem-solving help in any field. The tool was a success but those who used it all had the same observation – that it would make a great iPhone app. To make that suggestion a reality, Bruck and Middlebrooks, in partnership with the University's Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships (OEIP) Spin In program, teamed with three UD students. Through Spin In, OEIP matches entrepreneurs who are developing innovative early stage technology with a team of UD undergraduate students to further develop both the technology and the marketing strategy. The student team is mentored by UD faculty and works side-by-side with entrepreneurs to provide solutions to challenges that need to be overcome on the path to commercialization. After a project has been completed, the technology is spun back out of the University, and the entrepreneur moves forward with plans for product development. "Spin In arose out of part of our mission, to provide a unique experiential learning opportunity to undergraduate students in the areas of innovation, entrepreneurship and product development," said David Weir, director of OEIP. "Working with Spin In is a really amazing opportunity for a business," said Bruck, associate professor in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources' Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, explaining that while their product is a useful tool as a physical fan deck, "it could be more accessible as an app, and more iterative, so we can make updates and be more fluid with it." The iDEA Fan Deck is color-coded and icon based, dividing the problem-solving process into three major phases: understand, imagine, and iterate. The tool can be used to address problems from pre-start to implementation, or as a prompt to spark a stalled process. The graphic design of the original fan desk was created by Keefer Charneau, a visual communication major who graduated from UD in 2012 and has since moved on to work at a design firm in New York City. "We thought if we could prompt people to pay attention to all the phases of the problem-solving process, then that would be a more effective way of helping them innovate," said Middlebrooks, associate professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration in the College of Arts and Sciences, who explained that the fan deck went through 17 iterations before the final version was created. "The fun part about working with Spin In is that it prompted us to really advance the tool itself," said Middlebrooks. "The app has two or three major features that are above and beyond the physical fan deck. It has a decision tree, a brand new design thinking development facet that is a major feature, and the Spark Me random question generator. The app allows us to do some things that we couldn't do with the physical fan deck." Interdisciplinary student team The students assigned to work on the project included Candace Galentine, Sarah Minnich and Jacob Nachman. They all agreed that working in an interdisciplinary team — something Middlebrooks and Bruck stress in their combined leadership classes — was greatly beneficial to their educational experience. "It's something that you don't get in the classroom," said Galentine, an Honors Program junior double majoring in finance and management information systems. "When you work in groups in classes, you're working with people who are in a similar major. When I'm in a finance class working with a group, they're finance students, but for this I'm working with a graphic designer and a computer engineer, so it's completely different." Minnich echoed these sentiments, saying, "Working in a multidisciplinary team was probably the most beneficial aspect of the project. I learned a lot about Jake's discipline and Candace's discipline, I learned a lot more about their fields, and I'm sure they learned about my field and my background as well." Galentine said she started working part-time on the project in February. As the project manager, she worked on many aspects ranging from facilitating meetings and communication between IT, design and entrepreneurs to working on market assessment, developing potential business models, finding business opportunities, forming a project plan, and helping create a wireframe for the project. Galentine also focused the project on the end user by performing research and testing — both with people who had heard of and used the iDEA Fan Deck and those that had not. It was through this research that Galentine decided to make the app available as a "freemium." "The app is free to download, with limited content, and then the rest you have to purchase for $2.99," said Galentine. "We felt that this would eliminate the barrier for people who don't know what the iDEA Fan Deck is so they can download the free version, see if they like it, and then be able to purchase it." Summer project Nachman, an Honors Program sophomore majoring in computer engineering, came aboard a month after Galentine. By summer, Minnich joined the team and they were able to work full time on the project. As the programmer, Nachman was in charge of writing the code and adding functionality to the app, something that he said took anywhere from 200 to 300 hours of work. Not only did he have to invent the code for the app, something that he had never done before, but he also had to get that code approved by Apple. "That was a little bit difficult — it got rejected once and then it took a several updates to get it up to date with everything they wanted," he said. "But learning how to do the work was great because I had no idea how to do it when I went in to the project; I just had to figure it all out." Nachman also said that working with a problem-solving tool came in handy when the group encountered problems of their own on the project. "The iDEA Fan Deck was helpful during the process because when we got stuck, we were already looking at information that could help guide us through the process. I think it's a very useful tool. I've used it for a few projects that I've worked on during the school year to get my thoughts started." Minnich, who received a bachelor's degree from UD in 2010 and a master's in plant and soil sciences this year, and who and now works for OEIP, served as the project's graphic designer. Having worked with Bruck and Middlebrooks in the past to create one of the first fan deck prototypes, Minnich was familiar with the product from the outset. "In past courses they've taught, they have structured the curriculum to be design challenged-based and the fan deck is a really helpful tool in guiding the students along the way in their design process," said Minnich. As a previous teaching assistant for some of those courses, Minnich said that it is interesting to see how students from non-design backgrounds utilize the iDEA Fan Deck. "I think that it is most helpful for them because it pushes them to think in a different way then they're used to in their regular curriculum." As for this project, Minnich said that it was great to work with Bruck and Middlebrooks, who gave the three students the autonomy to make the project their own. "They trusted us and we felt very responsible for what we were creating and we had a real handle on it," said Minnich. As designer, Minnich worked closely with Nachman, who would input the code. "Our jobs were pretty intertwined," she said. "I would design some of the graphics and then he would import them, including things like the buttons, the layouts, fonts, and the backgrounds." Minnich said the students agreed that they benefited greatly from working on the project, getting real-world, hands on-experience and learning how to work as part of an interdisciplinary team. "The whole process started out really rough and there was this level of uncomfortability because none of us had ever worked on designing an app before and we weren't really sure what it was going to entail," said Minnich. "But we sat down and made timelines and benchmarks, and the whole process of seeing it come together was really satisfying."

Book Description:
Perhaps one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented characters of the New Testament is Martha. Often painted in the colors of reproach, Martha seems to be the poster child for how not to be a follower of Jesus. From the mind of Diana Wallis Taylor comes this touching, well-researched portrayal of Martha of Bethany, sister of Mary and Lazarus. Through Taylor's lush descriptions and inspired combination of imagined and recorded dialogue, Martha's world—her trials, triumphs, and loves—vibrantly comes to life. Follow Martha as she is jilted by her betrothed, falls in love with a Roman soldier, grieves the death of her father, cares for her siblings, and serves her Lord with dignity and grace. Readers will never read the biblical story of Martha the same way again.
My Thoughts: Martha is just a young girl when her mother dies, she then becomes the womanly head of the household, caring for her father, brother Lazarus, and younger sister Mary. She believes she will never marry, once the one young man she wanted to marry chooses not to accept her father's offering. With her father's health declining, Martha feels all she will do is care for him and his house the rest of her days. Diana, does a beautiful job of pulling you right into Bethany, you feel like your walking the streets, you can hear the animals, and smell all the smells. I highly recommend this book! You won't be able to read about Martha, Lazarus, and Mary the same way ever again!

NEW YORK, May 5 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co has won preliminary approval from a U.S. judge for its agreement to pay $280 million to resolve claims that it misled investors in billions of dollars worth of mortgage-backed securities.
U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen, in Brooklyn, New York, issued the preliminary approval on Friday. The settlement, which is subject to final court approval, would resolve a class action lawsuit filed in 2008.
The accord marks the third-largest settlement in a U.S. class action against banks that packaged and sold mortgage securities at the center of the 2008 financial crisis.
The class action was led by the Public Employees' Retirement System of Mississippi, which had sued over what it said were untrue statements and omissions in connection with $36.8 billion in mortgage securities issued in 2006 and 2007.
The lawsuit accused JPMorgan of ignoring its standards and guidelines when evaluating and buying loans included in 33 offerings of mortgage securities.
After a series of rulings, MissPERS ultimately moved forward on a narrower case that would cover investor claims stemming from 26 offerings of mortgage-backed securities. The settlement resolves claims held by investors in those offerings.
A hearing on final settlement approval is scheduled for July 24.
David Stickney, a lawyer for the plaintiffs at Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann, declined comment. A spokeswoman for JPMorgan did not respond to a request for comment.
The JPMorgan settlement, which was filed with the court in March, follows a deal announced in February in which Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc agreed to pay $275 million to resolve similar mortgage-backed securities claims.
Other class-action settlements over mortgage-backed securities include a $500 million deal between Bank of America Corp and investors claiming they were misled by the bank's Countrywide unit. A federal judge approved that settlement in December.
A separate $315 million accord over securities issued by Bank of America's Merrill Lynch unit won court approval in 2012.
The case is Plumbers' & Pipefitters' Local #562 Supplemental Plan & Trust v. J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I, et al, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, No. 08-01713. (Reporting by Nate Raymond in New York; Editing by Leslie Adler)

VIDEO: Team USA gets together for posterity
CHICAGO – Team USA doesn't have Carmelo Anthony this summer in its quest for the 2014 FIBA World Cup. It doesn't have a Carmelo Anthony, either, as in an established NBA scoring champion, a volume scorer – 25.3 ppg in 11 seasons – and a bail-out option who can make something out of nothing, inside or out, to salvage possessions. Kevin Durant was that guy but he withdrew last week. USA Basketball, which faces its first real competition vs. Brazil on Saturday (9 ET, ESPN), is once again looking for "that guy."
That complicates the task of finding even a "Carmelo Anthony 2012 Edition," a.k.a., that potent scorer off the bench who harnesses his ego even as he's unleashing his skills in game-changing spurts.
Anthony filled that role expertly for the USA Basketball squad that took gold at the London Games. In the process, the New York Knicks scoring star – a polarizing player for what some see as me-first tendencies in his NBA work – wound up generating some of the best media clippings of his career and altering a few critics' assessments.
"I don't think he needed to do that. He always had respect from me," said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, a Team USA assistant who had Anthony in his only NCAA season, 2002-2003. They won the national championship that year.
"Back then, he was content. If he got 10 points and we won, he was fine," Boeheim said Friday after Team USA's workout at a West Side sports complex. "I think his main role in the NBA has been to score. I don't think you should be criticized when a coach asks you to score and you score. That's what he does.
"He's a great offensive player. He's not LeBron James. He can help, he can make passes. But his primary focus and what he does best is score. He did it for us when we needed him. He's great under pressure."
That's one of the reasons coach Mike Krzyzewski wanted Anthony in that sixth-man role two years ago. Then there was that other reason.
"He was willing to do it, that's No. 1," said Jerry Colangelo, Team USA's managing director.
There's an esprit de corps each time the U.S. national team revs up nowadays, with All-Stars and franchise players generally accepting whatever roles Krzyzewski and his staff ask of them. But it's not automatic and it certainly didn't jibe with Anthony's profile as an NBA dilettante whose teams in Denver and New York were, and needed to be, built around him.
Yet just two summers ago, with egos as assertive as Durant's, James' and Kobe Bryant's on board, Anthony agreeably took on the job of super sub. He came off the bench in all eight games and played less than half-time (17.8 mpg), but averaged 16.3 points, trailing only Durant (19.5 ppg in 26.0 mpg) in U.S. scoring.
Back in 2008, in Beijing, Anthony ranked fourth in scoring (11.5) behind Dwyane Wade (16.0), James (15.5) and Bryant (15.0). That year, it was Wade who did the sixth-man thing, outscoring each of the starters while averaging just 18.8 minutes.
And in 2004, Anthony's first Olympics, he averaged just 2.4 points while appearing in seven of the eight games. The scoring load then was carried by Allen Iverson (13.8 ppg), Tim Duncan (12.9) and Stephon Marbury (10.5).
"These guys will do anything that you need 'em to do to win," Krzyzewski said. "Carmelo, for U.S. basketball, was really as good a 'stretch 4' as there was in international competition, starting or coming off the bench."
With Durant tapping out and Paul George getting hurt two weeks ago – after other top candidates such as LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love and Blake Griffin opted not to participate – Team USA's roster has been thinned.
As Colangelo said: "We originally thought we had guys coming off the bench – on paper – who would bring something to the table. Up tempo. A little more quickness. A little more shooting. But because of some injuries, they might end up starting."
After Friday's workout, Krzyzewski did not name his starting lineup for the tune-up game against Brazil's national team Saturday at United Center. That's part of what this pre-medal round schedule is for, flipping through the various combinations. But four of the five spots seemed heavily penciled in – Derrick Rose, Stephen Curry, James Harden and Anthony Davis.
Candidates for the fifth starting spot include Chandler Parsons, Kenneth Faried, Rudy Gay, Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan. Big man DeMarcus Cousins (right knee bruise) will not face Brazil, so going small against that team's big front line – Anderson Varejao, Tiago Splitter and Nene – might yield better results in a counter-programming way.
The candidates for sixth man – this squad's 'Melo – are in that above group, too, along with Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Gordon Hayward and Kyle Korver, pending the cutdown next weekend to 12 players. Krzyzewski's substitution pattern Saturday won't necessarily reveal anything, because the first game is all about "what if?" lineups. Even the game's outcome – beyond setting, perhaps, a winning atmosphere – matters less than using the exhibition as a measuring stick.
"We'll find out some things by trying new things, which will help us," Krzyzewski said. "The main thing is medal round in Barcelona. We need to keep improving until we get to Barcelona, then it's one and done. By that time hopefully we'll be healthy, have whatever is good for our team in and then be ready to go for a World Cup."
That includes a viable sixth man.
"I really think there are a lot of guys who would be willing to do it," Korver said. "I don't think it's a hard thing. It's one thing for a guy to be the sixth man on his NBA team, but there have been a bunch of guys [to do that for Team USA]. Every time someone's done it, it seems that person has gotten a lot of praise and a lot of credit."
Having a green light to shoot, at the urging of the coaches, at a rate that probably would lead the stellar squad in attempts-per-minute? Yeah, someone might raise his hand for that.
"We've got so many guys who can come in and contribute in any aspect of the game," said Harden, who might pick up some of Durant's shots in Team USA's reworked offense. "From Klay Thompson to Kyle Korver to Damian Lillard, so many guys who can be effective at what they do."
Harden was the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2012 before getting traded to Houston and emerging as an All-Star the past two seasons. He knows a little about managing one's ego from the bench.
"It's all about your mindset," he said Friday. "If you come in with the mindset that you're going to impact the game, that as soon as you step out there you're going to make your presence felt, then you'll be more effective and your team will be better off. We won't have that problem with this team – I'm sure guys will be ready and super-prepared at all times."
Super-willing, it sounds like, to accept whatever role. From starter to sub, from sixth man to 12th man, and anything in between if the minutes change from night to night. Colangelo and Krzyzewski have worked wonders selling these guys on the honor of participating. They're all fully marinated.
"When we started coaching NBA players," Boeheim said, "everybody said, 'Well, they won't do this and they won't do this.' We found out they would do 'this' and they would do 'this.' They would come off the bench. They would play defense. They would sacrifice. Dwyane Wade came to us the first year [2008] and said, 'I'll come off the bench.' Kobe Bryant came to us and said, 'I'll take the toughest guy defensively.' Chris Paul came off the bench.
"These are great players. They do what they can to help us win and that's why we've been successful. These guys have sacrificed, they've worked hard, they play defense and, really, I've never had a better experience in basketball than working with NBA players."

Fueling Hines Ward: Create an "At Home" Training Table
Here's how Leslie J. Bonci has helped Kona-bound Ward make sure his daily diet is optimized for his training.
by Leslie J. Bonci
Eating like an athlete means paying attention to your food choices—both the timing and the quantity. To help prep Hines for the IRONMAN World Championship, we created an "at home" training table. These simple tips and ideas allow him to make the most of his nutrition before, during and after training.
Fueling and refueling throughout the day is critically important for Hines because he's constantly in a state of movement. It's not just about the activity that he did, but the activity that he's going to do and will continue to do more of over longer distances and with more intensity in the months to come.
Here are some strategies we've used that you can adapt to make the most of your own training diet.
Fuel your morning
You don't want to start the morning on empty—you need to be fueled from the beginning of the day. If you wake up at 6 a.m. and start your workout at 7, you don't want to be consuming too much food before activity. One pre-workout meal I made with Hines included a wrap and a smoothie.
The smoothie: Keep it really simple. Blend frozen fruit, some low-fat milk and a little bit of honey and you're good to go. And I'm talking small (about four ounces). That way you get protein and carbs in the form of fruit and honey to provide energy for your workout.
The wrap: It's nice to pair a smoothie with extra carbs and protein. Start with a small whole-wheat tortilla and add a thin layer of peanut butter to provide some fat and protein. Then drizzle a little honey and add some sliced banana. It's portable, easy and tastes good.
Focus on recovery
When you're training hard every day, or even multiple times a day, what you eat right after exercise can make a big difference in how you feel and how you perform. You don't want your energy level to plummet by the end of the day so it's crucial to get much-needed fluids, carbs, protein and electrolytes back in your body after a tough workout. You need it the most when you want it the least (up to 30 minutes after exercising), so go for something that tastes great and is easy on the stomach.
The drink: One of my favorite ways to refuel (and Hines's favorite, too) is to drink low-fat chocolate milk. It has the right mix of carbs and protein to refuel exhausted muscles and fluids and electrolytes to replenish. Given that it's in liquid form, it delivers these nutrients efficiently and is easy to stomach so soon after exercising. There's a lot of published science that shows chocolate milk can help athletes recover after strenuous exercise.
Make dinner matter
If you're properly fueling and refueling all day, by dinner time you're ready for a reasonable meal (as opposed to eating all the food in the house). When we get to the evening meal, I want to make sure we're having something that helps the body recover and refuel (carbohydrates), and that's anti-inflammatory to help heal damaged tissues (onions, peppers, ginger or tart cherry juice). We're also looking for some protein, because we have to help the body recover and some good fats as well.
The stir fry: I like to make a quick and easy stir fry to be sure we're getting all we need at dinnertime. Start with some brown rice for carbs, some chicken, lean beef, pork or seafood for lean protein and add in your favorite colorful veggies. It looks good and taste wonderful, and you don't feel too bogged down at the end of the day.

Hey ladies,
Just a quick hello, from a newbie.
I'm gratefully expecting number two. I got pregnant straight away (like, literally) with number one. Then with number two I was trying for 18 months. Was getting very worried and made my husband and I get tested, but in the end, nature did her thing and I just conceived. I learned that I can't second guess nature. Sometimes she'll do it in her own time, not when I want.
Will try to take part in conversations, but with a 4 year old running about, it's about all I can do to feed myself (and the rest of the family). Lol. So we'll see how I go.

Warners made the announcement at San Diego Comic-Con, describing the game as an opportunity for players to take flight across the deepest parts of the universe and restore intergalactic order using the Green Lantern power ring.
"Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters gives players the chance to experience the world of the Green Lantern mythology in an interactive way, going beyond the events of the film and comic books," said Samantha Ryan, senior VP at Warner Bros. Interactive. "The game is the first to center around DC Comics' Green Lantern franchise and we're excited to give fans the opportunity to experience the power of the ring with engaging gameplay."
Silent Hill: Homecoming and GI Joe: Rise of Cobra studio Double Helix Games is developing the title for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii.
Sharkey says: For those who aren't familiar with the comic, the power ring is controlled by thought and can form just about anything its wearer conjurers up instantly. I'm not sure how Double Helix will be able to translate that power to gameplay, and given the studio's last title, the dreadful Rise of Cobra, I'm not looking forward to finding out.

i dont see the point of parchment paper
so i tired using parchment paper for 3 loaves... i dont see a difference between using it and not using it. My loafs came out very flat, no more than an inch high. I STILL have the EXACT same problem as i always have. No oven spring. I dont over proof, i let it rise the full time and i proof in baskets! Here is a pic of a loaf that turned out crappy.
i went by weight rather than volume and i still get the same results. i used all new flour, yeast and salt. it was a very very basic bread recipe and it still doesnt work.
AP flour
vital wheat gluten
Thats it. It rose at least double and then i shapped it into loafs and let proof about 40 to 50 minutes. Still flat as can be. The parchment paper didnt help them keep there shape at all. In fact, the one completly spread out like NAAN. it went in flat and came out flatt. I made sure there was enough wheat glutten as well. i had enough dogh to fill the baskets at least half. I let it proof till the basket was about 3/4ths full and then i transfered very very gently to the peel and right into the oven.
So i have decided its not the proofing baskets, the parchment paper, the flour, the yeast, the water or the gluten that is screwing up me bread. I even used an oven thermometer to see if it was realy at 450. it was.

Men Dressed as 'Scream' Character Break Into East Texas ATM Machine
Lufkin gets all the good ones, and especially this one, right before Halloween.
Lufkin police are investigating a crime involving two men wearing the iconic mask from the 'Scream' movie series who broke into a convenience store and stole money from its ATM.
According to KTRE in Lufkin, surveillance video shows two men wearing dark pants, black hoodies and gloves, along with the masks, breaking into the Polk's Pick-It-Up off Loop 287 about 1 a.m. this morning.
It is unclear at this time how much money was taken from the ATM.
It seems like a perfect crime, right? I wonder how long before these two strike again.
