The purpose of this study is to test the effect of a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise intervention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) patients interested in reducing symptoms. The investigators expect that this project will contribute much needed knowledge about the role that aerobic exercise can play in managing the effects of OCD. If moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is efficacious in helping individuals with OCD manage obsessions and compulsions, this will establish that aerobic exercise may be a valuable adjunct to other OCD treatments such as medication and therapy.

BGS New Site
Web Site - An Intro.
Welcome to our overhauled web site, which went live in Jan 2012.
The site is built from fairly up-to-date code, which should work with most computer screen sizes and browsers.
The site is evolving slowly, so there is more to come. Indexing of older Broadsheet magazine articles is now complete, so the Search facility should make it much faster to find detail on subjects previously written about.
You are welcome to make suggestions for improvements or new features, perhaps there's a particular Broadsheet article you think might be of appeal to our web audience; drop me a line...
Cheers for now - Rob Speare
New : Jan 2014
Several new items have been added to the 7mm scale model parts range. These include brass etches for the Mink body kit; and an etched kit for a six wheel B&E Oval Window coach.
New : Jan 2014
Curious about where the Broad Gauge network reached, and for how long ?
Please investigate our new page -
'Time Line Map', under the 'History' tab.
Info : on 8th June 2013
Our new BGS publication
Brunel's Atmospheric Railway,
was published. Copies still available.
Welcome to the BGS
Please use the Menu structure above to navigate your way around the site. Whether it is history, research, modelling or a further reading, we hope you will find the site informative, maybe inspiring !
Broad Gauge Society
- Events Calendar
See more details on the Events page.
This site is our window to the web, so if your first visit here, we invite you to investigate more. . . If you were unaware of Britain's 'broad gauge' railways, or the Society that actively researches, documents and models it today; perhaps we've already achieved something !
We hope you find the site interesting - if so, perhaps you may consider joining the Society; no special qualifications required.
The Membership subscription is quite reasonable, and will entitle you to receive our regular Journal and mailouts, expanding on information about this facinating period of railway operation.
I am keen to hear from model engineers who may be constructing, or have completed a live steam broad gauge loco.
Britain's Broad Gauge Railways.
In 1836, the fledgling Great Western Railway was laid to a gauge of 7 feet 0¼ inches, as directed by young engineer I. K. Brunel. A number of other new Companies adopted the specification, creating a network with a unique style and infrastructure that spread across much of South West England and S. Wales. This most creative period was part of the huge industrial revolution that transformed everyday life in England.
Early locomotives were typically wide bodied with fairly large spindly driving wheels, most often sporting polished brasswork on the splashers and firebox cladding. And their train crews needed to be hardy - with barely a small weatherboard as protection from the elements, as in this photograph of 0-6-0 Caesar class locomotive 'Nemesis', photographed at Trowbridge in Wiltshire.
This period saw the creation of locomotive and signalling technologies that were to shape railways for the next 100 years, along with engaging architecture, some of which we can still view.
Many independant railways were absorbed into the larger Great Western Railway; but the Broad Gauge routes remained the most comfortable way to travel; a definitively superior and elegant passenger railway system, with creative transport solutions for goods, lasting over fifty years.
Its supercession came in May 1892, with conversion of all G.W.R. lines to narrow gauge, and the withdrawal of most rolling stock.
The Broad Gauge Railway was part of a fascinating period of optimism, with new travel opportunities for ordinary people - fortunately just as photography was becoming available to record it. 120 years later, and those images capture the imagination of today's many researchers, period enthusiasts and modellers, who find this railway has a very unique and enduring magic.

How to activate tethering on any iPhone without jailbreaking
During the WWDC keynote, AT&T was strangely absent from Apple's list of carriers that will support tethering in iPhone OS 3.0. AT&T has since explained that it will support tethering later this summer, but many iPhone users are champing at the bit for the added functionality. If you're one of the eager masses, use this how-to to enable tethering on any iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0--without jailbreaking--on a Mac. (Other blogs have reported Windows tethering steps; please see our links at the end of this piece.)

To Tweet or Not to Tweet?
In this week's Community Pool, we noticed lots of you asking about how to grow traffic to your blogs. Participating in the Community Pool is a great first step, along with commenting on others' blogs. Another way is letting your social networks know what you're writing about, which WordPress.com lets you do easily with Publicize.
Elizabeth is going to be taking a wide-angle look at promoting your blog on social networks tomorrow, so today we thought we'd focus on one platform that seems to confound many people: Twitter. To tweet or not to tweet?
I often talk to bloggers who are reluctant to join the Twitterverse:
"I don't have time to keep up with another thing."
"I don't care what people are having for lunch."
"It seems like a giant waste of time."
On one hand, these are legitimate complaints. It is yet another password to remember, there are lots of people talking about their lunches, and you can get sucked in and end up wondering where those three hours of your life went.
(Hint: you were probably following the #famousmoviesrenamedforcandy hashtag.)
(Like "Zero Dark Chocolate Thirty.")
On the other, it can be a really effective and efficient way to make connections that you wouldn't otherwise make. You can follow — and converse — with bigwigs in your field, along with lots of other folks dedicated to the same things you are. You'll read posts and find links to information that will inform and inspire, and can stay on the pulse of your issues.
Here are some considerations for helping you decide whether to join the fray:
- It's a medium for conversation, not just broadcasting. Yes, you can and should let people know about new posts on your blog via Twitter. But if that's all you're doing, you're not going to get very far. Twitter is a place to extend the conversation, not just ply people with "Hey, Read Me!" links. If you're not tweeting original content and engaging with others (through dialogue or by re-tweeting them), don't bother.
- It takes time. It can be a worthwhile investment, and it doesn't have to take a lot of time, but it does require some. You'll need to figure out who to follow, and then make sure to interact. This doesn't mean you need to keep your Twitter feed open on your computer all day long, but it does mean you'll want to check in periodically to see what's going on. No one bothers following a person who posts once every two months.
- It's not the same as Facebook. Or Tumblr, or LinkedIn. Elizabeth will fill you in tomorrow on how these sites differ and how they're most useful; suffice it to say that your Twitter content should be unique. If all you're doing is auto-tweeting your Facebook status updates, you're not really being an engaged twitizen.
The bottom line is that Twitter can be (1) a lot of fun, (2) a great place to connect with people in your areas of interest, and (3) a way to sow your blogular seeds among a larger audience. But if you're not prepared to invest a little time, you might be better off letting it go.
Are you on Twitter? Has it been useful for growing your blog, in your career, or in another way entirely?
I am a huge fan of Twitter (@andreabadgley) – I'm so glad to see this post. I love Twitter for reading other writers, following editors and journals, and even connecting with authors I love. I wrote a post about Eleanor Brown's "The Weird Sisters," tweeted the link to her, and she wrote back, "This is among the loveliest things I've ever read about my book – thank you!" I felt like I had just gotten a celebrity's autograph. I floated high on that Tweet for at least a week!
January 22, 2013 -
I, too, am unsure about tweeting and am looking forward to more information. I have also been holding back until I have my book cover designed.
January 22, 2013
Twitter has been good for me bringing sales and book bloggers to my book and blog. However, I've put little effort in and keep meaning to engage more but i remain a little baffled with the difference between mentions, favourites, lists etc … am i alone?
January 22, 2013-
No, you're not alone. It's a bit confusing to me too. But I'm rarely on it. I have my Facebook connected to it, but I rarely post content on it. I guess I need to get to checking it out.
January 22, 2013-
It's worth getting on it – i can't believe how many people follow you! Have to say Facebook is my favourite by far though …
January 22, 2013
I'm on and so far, it's in the way; I go days without remembering even to check it.
However, I'll be reading tomorrow. I'd love to learn how to make something that big worthwhile. There's gotta be a way!January 22, 2013 -
It may not be useful for anything, but I (@DNGSITSPKaren) I find it lots of fun. It's really good for firing off one liners, and it can keep you up on moment by moment topics/trends that are so ephemeral they never make it outside the Twitterverse, but still provide great fodder. And man oh man does it make you precise with your language (140 characters, people!)
January 22, 2013 -
I really love Twitter and have gradually filtered out those comments about lunch, etc. It's an incredibly useful tool for promoting one's blog, if done in the right way. What I find also helps is that I do a lot of retweeting of articles and other blog posts if they are well written. And favoriting. I support my "tweeps" this way and in turn they tend to support me more. Getting lots of retweets is so important!!
January 22, 2013 -
Retweeting is the way to bring more people to other posts, as well as being noticed that you engage in sharing other works.
January 23, 2013
I am fairly new to Twitter as I am to writing. I am just completing my first book which is a memoire of my life dealing with alcohol and drugs. I hope to publish within the next 30 days. The writing of this book, although very emotional, has awakened in me a passion for writing until now unrealized. I know that promoting my book is key. Exactly how does Twitter work in this endeavour.
January 22, 2013 -
I keep up with military personal-finance topics faster on Twitter than on Facebook or other blogs. It's also a wonderful way to share other blogger's posts.
January 22, 2013 -
@moxadox sez: I'm a new tweeter, and I'm mystified as to how to engage others in Twitterization, er, conversation. Looking forward to hearing about that tomorrow.
January 22, 2013 -
I love twitter and was at first extremely reluctant to join. I've used it mainly to spread social good awareness on current topics but have also used it for photos of my travels and blog posts. The readership is completely different than my blog but it is a great tool if used correctly.
January 22, 2013 -
Your timing couldn't be better! I just signed up on Twitter two days ago and I'm embarassed to say I have no idea what I'm doing. I was going to buy a book, however I'm sure I'll get much more insight from the blogging community and real-life examples on self-promotion and promoting others. Looking forward to delving in…..
January 22, 2013-
It took me a couple of months to really get the hang of it. I didn't spend a ton of time on it, so it took me longer to catch on. It's well-worth messing around with.
January 22, 2013
I love twitter – I'm (@debrabroughton) — it's a really good way to keep up with new posts by other bloggers. I use Tweetdeck to organise the people I follow so I can keep an eye on my fave writers and photographers, as well as getting updates on everything from the weather to tech news.
January 22, 2013 -
It took me a while to work twitter out. I followed a bunch of people that had similar interests, normally through their blogs. Then I logged on and read the tweets and tried to have conversations with people. It took me ages to work out that most people aren't really there on twitter and just launch 'buy my book' – 'read my blog' tweets though an app.
Then I discovered a couple of hash tags where there are actually people talking about things. I joined in the conversation but found it difficult as you can either watch the hash tag or the replies to your monika but not both. Again a period of confusion until someone suggested Tweetdeck – one of many apps that allows you to look at a number of things at the same time.
I think I now have it sorted. I log on engage in conversations, reply to people who tweeted me and any direct messages and retweet my friends. I can schedule tweets – and re tweets – so that I am not bombarding twitter and to cover times when I am not awake. I like it because I can follow tags such as #Charente (where I live) #Jazz #MYWANA and other places where people I have things in common with hang out. I also have the feed from my blog to twitter that tweets my latest blog post. Sometimes I feel I spend too long on twitter but I do like to chat.
I am looking forward to hearing more about it to see if there are things I am missing or indeed if I do things that put other people off.
January 22, 2013 -
I'm on Twitter (@alex_brovn) and I find it *very* useful for driving traffic to my blog. If you ask someone with a lot of followers for a "re-tweet" (ie they share it with their followers), that can produce a lot of hits. Be selective about who you pick, though – your post should be relevant to their (followers') interests, and you have to ask nicely. Give them a reason why they should share your post.
You have to know when to tweet as well – ie, when your followers are online; in my case that's typically the start of the work day, lunch time and especially the early evening "prime time".
Getting on "lists" is also very useful as that increases the number of people seeing your tweets – that's something you can ask people for, too.
Twitter is also quite good for starting conversations about your blog – comment sections can be clunky if someone just wants to say "that's good".
January 22, 2013-
Watch and learn. Make an account, follow a few people – either from the suggestions list, or by searching for a key term, or even by recommendations from online articles.
Then it's good ol'-fashioned trial and error.
(oh btw I had a typo in my handle, it's actually @alex_brovvn)
January 23, 2013
I think Twitter has huge potential – and on the whole, I have found twitizens tend to follow a pretty etiquette of following back, responding etc. There are also those who fail to interact, who require permission for you to follow back (even though they followed you first!) and whose reasons for joining Twitter in the first place remain a mystery !
There are an increasing number of ways too in which Twitter can be used, whether for interacting or promoting – without appearing spammy; (no doubt these will be covered in tomorrow's post); I also hear news faster on Twitter than elsewhere.and when enough Twitter 'chums' are online together it can be both stimulating and hilarious ….(@AuthorsAnon)
January 22, 2013 -
I have been everywhere in the Internet world, just to try it out. I did Twitter and few years ago. I even let my cats have their own Twitter site and they were twitting with other cats. Looking back on it all, I do not bother any more. Don't get me wrong. I find WordPress one of the best sites for bloggers, but Internet is a dangerous world and I am careful where my blogs are placed. some of the Daily Prompts are a bit personal sometimes. I just avoid that by writing a fiction story, or let my cats get on with it in their feline way. I used to cross post to my Facebook account, but do not any more. I am very happy with the public I have now on WorldPress and for this reason do not want to branch out in other social networking sites. Not everyone is as honest as they should be.
January 22, 2013 -
I'm thinking about going on twitter, but can't think of a username! (Yes, possibly the worst excuse ever). My wordpress username is ihaveumpalumpaonmyhead, but that's too long for twitter! Anyone got any ideas?
January 22, 2013 -
Um thanks …. I think … if nothimg else, they made me laugh
January 24, 2013
I love Twitter. It can be an effective tool to sharpen writing skills, too. Making a point in 140 characters or less is not easy.
I do agree that it's about conversation. I never follow folks who JUST use it to share their blog because I like to see at a glance what they are about, and that isn't possible through just blog links.
I tell people to add the Twitter widget to their blog ASAP if they haven't already. I subscribe to a LOT of blogs. While I may not have time to add one more subscription to my feed, I'll add someone I like to Twitter in a skinny minute. If I see a blog post in my Twitter feed, I am pretty likely to click it. And maybe even share!
January 22, 2013-
If a limit to 140 characters "sharpens your writing skills", then why not limit it to 120 characters?
Your comment is much longer than 140 characters by the way.January 22, 2013
I had actually written a blog post about this with exactly the same title (and a clever photo to go with it )

Just found this discussion while searching for possible blog platforms. I've been tweeting for a former employer for the past year. Love it! It took a year of tweeting and some reading to figure out the dynamics and etiquette of Twitter. I have a personal Twitter handle where I only have conversations about media and politics. The other one is about to be established with my favorite hobby in mind. Is it, um, legal to have more than one Twitter handle?
January 22, 2013-
I'm pretty sure it is legal, as long as you're not impersonating someone.
January 22, 2013 -
I even have two passports, so I don't see a problem with two or three Twitter accounts,
If you want to see if Twitter allows it, you have to check their terms and conditions. But even if you violate those, the worst thing that will happen is that your account will be closed.January 22, 2013
I am on Twitter (@SuzanMcEvoy) but am never sure if I'm using it effectively – but suddenly I'll get a retweet or reply and think 'wow'. And this weekend somebody thanked me for retweeting their post so I guess it's getting noticed. Definitely need to get tweeting daily – working on it! – Suzan -
January 22, 2013 -
I am very reluctant to try Twitter, even though an instructor at a class I took about how to promote your writing said it's a very good way to make contacts. I am having enough trouble keeping up with what I have. As a person with ADHD it is just another distraction, I fear.
January 22, 2013 -
Wow …Twitter is the Pandora's Box of the internet. It introduced me to Worldpress and intern Worldpress introduced we to the world – Literary
January 22, 2013 -
This Twitter doesn't make any sense to me: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/should-i-get-a-twitter/
But I bought one now: @AndreasMoser007January 22, 2013 -
Thanks for the tips. Twitter is a good platform to publicize, but like you said, it requires some time investment. Keeping up with conversations and following the people that share similar interests is a good way to grow ones twitter community.
Links to blog posts shouldn't be the only tweets. I so much agree with that.
Being creative with writing is not all that there is to blogging, being efficient with connecting makes a whole lot of difference!January 22, 2013 -
I'm on twitter, but not very savy. There are a few people I interact with but most I am just following to see what THEY'RE doing. Any way to learn the ins and outs of twitter without coming off as a total doof?
January 22, 2013-
I think of it kind of like being at a really big party at which there are a handful of people you really want to meet. You spend some time scoping out the scene and talking to lots of people, and as you learn more about them, you narrow it down. After that, it's just about having conversations and sharing relevant info — just like real life.
January 22, 2013
It's true that it takes some time to take care of your twitter account but I found it really usefull not only to promote my blog but also to learn about what other bloggers and writers are doing as well as keeping up to date with the news from the publishers, bookstores, libraries and universities.
January 22, 2013 -
I have a twitter account @Bisan_smiley feel free to follow and I usually follow back. I've know many people who have the same interest whether bloggers or photographers, photography is one of my hobbies and learn much from other photographers… I'll follow the post tomorrow to know how to be more effective through twitter.
thank you for your all interesting postsJanuary 22, 2013 -
I was a huge fan of twitter until my tweets were hijacked. It wasn't my account, but someone very kindly kept quoting what I hadn't said. The result was frightening. Now I only use the automatic WordPress tweet. I don't join in any conversations. Once bitten, twice shy. Be warned.
January 22, 2013 -
I want to be a good twitizen so i just checked in and followed back every follower on the list. It took all of 2.7 seconds.
January 22, 2013 -
I've been on twitter a couple of years now @portugalpiglet
Started to use Tweetdeck which enables me to set up different streams for tweets using cerain hashtags. For example #NaNoWriMo #Writing #Postaday2013 #Portugal #Photography #Travel etcEveryone who uses any of these # hash tags will appear in my twitter stream. IT's a great way of connecting with people of similar interests.
Don't forget to use hashtags when tweeting Problem is it can become addictive. 5mins a day is all I allow myself Great way to connect with other bloggers
January 22, 2013-
5 minutes! You deserve an award PiP! I used to be a total Twitter fiend with dual accounts, Tweetdeck, Twitpic, my Follow Friday and hashtag homies, you name it, I did it all plus thousands and thousands of endless tweets and conversations with Tweeps and it was fun… I use it sooooooooooooooooooo differently now. TY God!

Hi Eliz, yep 5 minutes! I found it so easy to get sucked down the proverbial rabbit hole and lose and hour of my life. Now mainly use tweetdeck and select a few tweets to respond to or retweet. I create lists so I can follower people easeier as well. I could never see the point of Follow Friday However, it's amazing the people who don't use hastags, which is a great shame
January 24, 2013 -
Follow Friday was a fun and cool way to connect instantly with a sizeable number of people. If you're chatting with your friends no need for hashtags… Anyway, for anyone interested in learning more about using Twitter, I'd encourage they read these two articles and sign up for TwitterCounter; an awesome free service.

I've just started to link-dump on Twitter, Facebook, and G+. WordPress does the Twitter and Facebook bits for me automatically but for Google I have to find where I last dumped my links and then batch up any new blog posts. It's not very elegant. As for the conversations on Twitter, there really aren't any. Twitter, at least for me has morphed into less of a discussion and more of just a loose collection of strangers and their monologues. It's on Facebook where the engagement is happening, I'm getting comments and likes on Facebook and next to nothing on Twitter. The only thing my WordPress blog gets are spam comments, so that's extra-worthless. I miss the community of LIveJournal back in the early 2000′s, just don't get that with WordPress and I don't know why. My guess for the answer is that Facebook is just too pervasive and people are just too lazy. Might as well just comment on Facebook and be done with it. So the blogs just sit there, comment-free.
January 22, 2013-
I have the opposite. I post into my Facebook group and get a lot of people clicking but little comments on the FB page, and a lot more on my blog. As for Twitter, I don't think of it primarily as a space for people to comment on what I've done, but I like to join in conversations using hashtags that interest me. I get followers this way and then when I post a blog post to Twitter I get hits from there too
January 24, 2013
I really don't enjoy twitter that much. It's seems much too complicated and you have to spend too much time on it trying to follow threads. My posts go to twitter but I'm not sure if people really look at them. When I do go on twitter it's because someone has invited me to a discussion or I go to look at #FridayReads every Friday which I love. Maybe I4ll go on more eventually if I have the time.
January 22, 2013 -
Me not Enjoy Twitter and let me tell you true thing that I never Understand What twitter has to do with links and all and what effect take place after twitting some thing? I never Understands why twitter makes me bore always when i visit on my own home page.

Twitter has helped me gain followers. But lots of followers don't automatically equate to lots of hits or readers… well, at least, not in my case. The most hits ever on my blog in a day was a little over 100. But my blog promoting skills could use some work, so yeah… it's not as simple as just blaming or using Twitter.
January 22, 2013 -
Though most of my tweets relate to walking – the subject of my blog – I write and follow about books, publishing, baseball, comedy, politics. My alter-ego feels freer on Twitter and I've met a lot of new people. I follow who's entertaining or informative – not just selling their thing.
I agree sometimes I don't know what people are talking about – always in the middle of some thought wave, but I don't worry about it.January 22, 2013 -

Personally I don't tweet much and I haven't that much people I follow. But I send out the information of a new blogpost out to my followers via twitter every time I post a new one.
The reason to use twitter for me is twofold: First, there are many people here in Germany, who don't like to follow a blog via daily email. That's to much inflow for their inbox. To follow a blog via twitter, keeps you informed and your inbox clean. If the title of a new blogpost sounds interesting, you "click and see". If you like, what you read, ist's easy to share that post, you just have to retweet it to your friends. No email to write, no adresses to search, just one click on the retweetbutten and the information is out. Following a blog via RSS or another reader is not everybodys thing, especially for (older) people who are not so used to the net. But there are many people who find it easy to set up a twitterline and follow the blog via twitter. The second reason I use twitter is, that I often get information or ideas via the tweets of bloggers or friends, that I than share on my blog also, especially in my weekly post on mondays ("Interesting things in the blogosphere").. It's an easy and effective way to share information, without having all the stuff in your inbox. Most people I follow use twitter that way. There are nearly no one, who tweet about their meals or so. Most of them share information I value or inform about a new post on their blog. To get theese informations, I don't have to change to another side or medium. I worked with twitter via echofon, a firefox addon thru wich you could follow the twitterline on the same page you were working on. Sadly. echofon has put down it's service last year. I now follow my twitterline via thwirl, wich is not that good like echofon, but until now the best (new) way for me.
In essence I would say, that 10 % of my readers come via twitter and up to 30 % of my informations/ideas I use I get via twitter.January 22, 2013 -
Nice to know that I'm not the only one who is confused about how to use Twitter effectively! I just started a Twitter account, haven't tweeted a lot yet, so I'm looking forward to the next post.
I'm finding it hard to change gears, from the blogging mindset of having a blank canvas to write and post whatever I want, to the Twitter requirement of staying within 140 characters!
oh yeah… @peters154
January 22, 2013 -
I have two twitter account. I post my blog to @musicnfilm. And i have my own personal twitter just to "litter". Haha! Or just to kill the time while on traffic jam or in the middle of boring meeting. But twitter is not the only option to gain traffic to your blog. It doesn't help much. But it works.
January 22, 2013 -
#Twitter's amazing. Fantastic contacts, links & convos. Make things happen that would otherwise be impossible. 140 chars becomes a habit
January 22, 2013 -
I love Twitter. I used to think it was a bit useless, and had that "hasn't been updated in three months" account. Then I began learning to actually interact with people, and now have gotten to a modest number of followers, engage in weekly Twitter chats, and am getting more readers from Twitter as well. (Still not many, but the number is getting higher). Even if I never got views from Twitter, I'd still enjoy it. There are so many people in your field and beyond to interact with and discuss topics/engage with. I highly recommend it. People who feel like they know you are probably more likely to support your endeavors, especially if they are good ones.
January 22, 2013 -
Nice post, i really enjoyed reading it and i hope you will post more stuff like this in the future.
January 22, 2013 -
I too am on Twitter an have loads of fun there! I use it both professionally as a doctor and personally. It is though, hard to explain at times especially to my colleagues! A couple of weekends ago I had so much fun with my Twitter friends over our morning cups of coffee that I wrote a post about it. "Of Babies and Donuts" was in part an attempt to explain the fun and power of Twitter.
January 22, 2013 -
I'm a twitter fan, but it took awhile to grasp how much it can be a useful tool for searching content, reading what experts in your chosen field are saying, etc. For example, let's say you want to follow content about #Leadership. (the # just acts as a searching tool). You can discover, within seconds,highly useful information that it would take so much longer to uncover on Google, for example. It's like having a personalized research tool….I love it and encourage everyone to 'just try it' , and you don't even have to tweet to gain the benefit of twitter.
January 22, 2013 -
I am on Twitter, as Countingducks if anyone is interesting. Yes I am one of those people who is guilty of just saying they've published a new post. This happens automatically when I publish, and I don't really know how that happens. This may sound laughable, but I've looked at my Twitter account, and I can't see the place where you input fresh tweets. I will look again. As for Elizabeth, if it's the Elizabeth I think it is. she is a remarkable, knowledgeable person on this subject, as well as being extraordinarily helpful. One last thing. I wish there was a spell check on the comment section as my spelling is rubbish. I might have proved that here.
January 23, 2013 -
Thanks for the tips. Truly gave me a clearer perspective of tweeter. One I realized is that it is also about giving and sharing others. There are times that I am more thrilled to share the amazing work of my blogger friends than about me. And 2013 is a year of giving, even in social media.
January 23, 2013 -
I was reluctant to join Twitter when I first started blogging, but now that I understand it, I have had a great time with it (my handle is @boozedancing). It's all about connecting with whatever your niche happens to be and then interacting with a wide variety of people. Thankfully, all of my experiences to date have been very positive.
One more thing…
In case you've never done it, put a tweet out there with a random hashtag to see who follows you. It can be pretty funny!
G-LOJanuary 23, 2013 -
Twitter is an important part of socialising, the best bit about it is interacting with people that you probably wont talk to again. The best thing for me was tweeting my judo video on youtube to Ashley McKenzie who went to the olympics and he watch some and replied! It was great!
January 23, 2013 -
My dog had a twitter account years ago. He got bored with reading about Canadian hockey. So did I. We both consider it banal and a symptom of today's soundbite culture.
January 23, 2013 -
I recently started to "tweet" – not sure if it helped with increase my blog audience, but I am enjoying it, although I am not on it as often as I would like to be. But that will change once I get my tablet I am sure. I think it is a good tool because I have found other blogs and other interests, so eventually I may see an increase in traffic, but for now it is for fun.
January 23, 2013 -
I want to know more about this. I look at Twitter and follow stuff I'm genuinely interested in and then ignore the rest. I never follow celebrities because all they do is @. I have looked at followers of people I'm following but haven't found that many people whose tweets interested me yet, seems like trying to find needles in a haystack. Sometimes I feel compelled to blurt out a comment at politicians, but I don't expect a response because their tweets are posted by auto-PR-minions.
January 23, 2013-
You should try searching for hastags of topics which interest you. I found a lot of interesting people this way
January 24, 2013
I am on twitter (@teamstophie) I use the Publicize + twitter option in the publish options on my posts so that it is automatically tweeted as soon as they are published. I dont do this to gain blog followers via twitter but mainly so that the few people on twitter whom i know want to read my posts can click the link and do so that way.
For some people repeatedly tweeting their link may work but i have seen people doing this and it annoys me rather than interesting me. I dont have many followers on twitter so unless i started tweeting it '@' people i dont think it would make much of a difference for me personally – and i would feel like I were harrassing people in the process. Perhaps if my blog were about something other than personal things…something that would benefit others then it would be a productive way to gain new audience but for me…well I dont even link it on facebook because I dont want to advertise it to everyone on there.
I mainly use it to post my random thoughts, experiences or funny stuff (usually stuff my son says) and its good to see whats going on in the world but thats about it (for me)
January 23, 2013 -
I am enjoying Twitter far more than I thought I would. I started off simply following the accounts of blogs I enjoyed on here and elsewhere, especially ones which have similar topics to mine. At first I had about 3 followers and only tweeted when I wrote a new post. Later on I started hitting "reply" to tweets that interested me (either because I agreed with them or the opposite) and using appropriate hashtags. I started to get followers who'd seen these tweets. I don't get masses on clicks to my blog from Twitter, but I do get some every time I post. Finally, one of my posts was retweeted by 13 people and that day I got masses of new hits, followers, facebook "likes" etc.

I am on twitter
- and twitter links to my wordpress
(and other) activities automatically …January 24, 2013 -
As part of an attempt to start getting more people reading my work I just started tweeting in earnest a few days ago. (I've had an account for nearly a year, but had been too intimidated, weirded out, and confused to use it consistently.) It has brought a few people to my site; yesterday, five folks happened upon me from some mysterious Twitterland place of origin. It's a tiny number, yes, but I also have a tiny presence on Twitter that I'm looking to make larger in the coming days, weeks, and months. Who knows how many people will become exposed to my writing thanks to Twitter? I have a lot of hope for it.
A word on learning how to use it. I've really gone in for baptism by fire. Because of Facebook I was familiar with the concept of hashtags and have started using them with glee. Tweeting is a language all it's own, but if you take Rick Steeves's general advice on language-learning and jump into it head first, you may find, as I have, tweeting is a very interesting, amusing, and innovative way to communicate and promote yourself. And as far as gathering followers is concerned, I just started by typing in random people places and things I admire (as well as plenty of non-random, writing/writer-centric stuff), and my network quickly began growing from there.
Have fun!
January 24, 2013 -
I'm on twitter @marantophoto I just started, so I am learning slowly. I figure I'll give it some time. At this point I like my blog a lot more.
Cheers!January 24, 2013 -
I post everything to twitter, but i also use twitter for that random thought that i dont need a whole page to say. It has been useful. More ppl have started following my twitter acount in the two weeks that Ive moved to word press. I went up 15 followers which i dont think is to bad.
January 25, 2013 -
Twitter is pretty intuitive once you realize what it's for — "flash" posting. You don't have to follow what you don't want to read about, or you may choose to skip such posts (they're only 360 characters each, anyway).
For bloggers, think of Twitter as a catalogue, flashcards, or a quick advert for your posts. People can catch a glimpse of what you're writing about and decide for themselves if they wanna click the link and read more. They may send you quick messages and replies, and the attitude of the world to twitter seems to be that it's a casual place, which is great for building communication and relationships. It's not as cliquish as Facebook, or as formal as WordPress. It's a good place to throw out posts to the open web (that has millions of users already, as well) and advertise your blog without being too annoying and overt about it (though only in comparison, because everyone is doing the same anyway)
I started blogging 3 days ago and put up Twitter for it from the get-go. I want to see how this pans out!
In keeping up with twitter's theme of shameless plugging, i'll take this chance to advertise my account. Care to follow? @fargazing

President Obama gave another speech to the UN General Assembly in which he repeated the vacuuous leftist notion that incredibly disparate cultures can be "strengthened by our differences."
How does that work when one society is based upon freedom of expression, especially in cases of politics or religion, and the other not only opposes the notion of free speech but also actively suppresses it? Yet another speech "about nothing" from our Seinfeldian President.

Wooooo, working hard. You seem to be doing a good balance of studies and everything, with imaginative work in there too. I think the master studies of the pin ups turned out well, makes me want to do one.
You're definitely on the right track. It's all about being consistent and putting in a lot of work and you'll get to where you want to go.
Untouched24 - Thanks for the complement. Its a long journey alright.
I don't feel like writing much, its too late. But I still want to make this update. Just some more studies.
The last one is a one day study of faces from photos online. I focused on darker skin and I went back and forth doing one form memory and one from observation. You should be able to tell which from which, so I didn't even bother highlighting them.
I also got some more sketches I should post. Since I'm on break, I should be able to post a lot more updates. I'll try to make daily posts until the semester starts.
Fooook.. you're doing a loooot of faces.. and... they're good! =)
Rendering is coming along nicely too. =)
Very nice progression of work. Keep it up!

great studies, big improvements over the past few months
i cant think of any suggestions, do more of what youre already doing i think youre on the right track
aks9 & SageTso - Thanks guys. Definitely need the support.
Today some film stills, a still life, portrait piece and some life sketches at the mall.
Wth!! I go away for a day and come back to a stack of figures and girlies!!! =)
Super inspiring bro.. really like your life drawings.. they are full of the good stuffies! =)
The amount of studies you're doing is insane, very inspirational. Those face studies in particular are very well done, very much looking forward to seeing how you progress. Keep up the good work.
Kungfoowiz & cgaddict - Thanks guys.
I forgot to post yesterday, so here's what I did. Just some head studies, gesture drawings, life drawings, and a simple piece.
OMG.. you are so kicking ass in face and figure studies.. I love your expressive pencil work too, mine can be quite sterile at times.. looks like a shorter stroke really works for you.. really well done bro.
Keep going bro, I'm very inspired by your face studies. =)
Kungfoowiz - Thanks for all the replies. Very encouraging.
A few days ago I bought the on-demand class on color theory. I'm making sure to go through it again, but I have already learned so much, I feel its starting to show a little in the last few posts. The little boost of encouragement got me thinking and wondering if I have been approaching my studies the wrong way. The class made me much more aware of the importance of color and value to portray form, something that should have been a conscious decision when doing my usual still life and film stills, but just wasn't.This overall reminding me of having some specific purpose in mind when doing some sort of study, whether its paying more attention to the gesture in your figures or trying to better portray form with your light source. I'm need to make more of an effort to seek out knowledge like this. Seems you actually have to learn about it for it to pop out in the real world right in front of you.
A still life of my cell phone near my window. Not too confident with this one. Values look off.
Film stills form the move Inception.
Figure studies and more practicing with gesture.
Great work, man. Your faces and figures look really great. Not much constructive I can say, just keep up the good work!
Yeah, it's looking good bro. The lady's eyes bother me a bit, unless you were going for a manga look (which I like, but just pointing out in case you weren't). =)
Yip.. for colour, it helps to stare at things for a while, mind you, the same applies to drawing.. got to look more than you draw apparently. =)
Loving our sketchbook, there's so much your working on it's quite amazing lol. Keep up the hard work and also thanks alot for little note/video on color theory, it helped me quite a bit.
I'm not sure what else to say but keep at it! You seem to have caught passion!
alexson - Thanks.
Kungfoowiz - Yeah, now I see that funky eye. Thanks for the pointer.
Pervy & Allan-p - Thanks, guys.
Yesterday I did some character studies and today I did the 100 head challenge.
Skin tones on the dude look off, I know.
What I did was I tried to spend 2 minutes on each head, each from a photo ref, using a stopwatch to make it exact. It was very fast paced for me, so most of my time was spent looking at the screen, relying mostly on instincts. Also I was using 11 x 14 sized paper, so my scanner wasn't able to capture the entire page.
Just some life sketches at the mall. Half of the people were sitting in the lobby area. The other half were waiting in line in the food court. Most of the time I would only have enough time to capture the overall gesture of their pose. I would then use a marker to finish up. There's some I felt were decent, but there's still practice needed.

Haven't posted in a few days, but all I've done are vilppu exercises from his drawing manual. But here's a figure study and a character design I did.
Today I did some more life sketches at Starbucks. Now I think I'm getting better at staging my sketches and adding more background elements. I'm also starting to spend more time afterwords rendering the sketch using markers. I can't tell if it looks better though.
Wow, you draw so much. I was just feeling good about drawing lots and now seeing this I feel lazy. Your dedication is admirable.
I don't really have much to say. Maybe study how the head attaches to the body and the whole neck area in general. Your ones from imagination especially show that it is a weak area of yours.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." -- Bruce Lee
wow, gorgeous studies, I especially love the Inception stills! Keep it up.
Andrew Sonea - Thanks for pointing that out. I never feel confident when drawing my necks and now I know its very apparent. Gotta do some studies.
dsacc - Thanks. Yeah, Inception was pretty awesome.
The semester started last Wednesday, so I'm back to weekly updates, hopefully no less. Here's what I did.
Usual bus sketches.
Since I have a nice mirror in my dorm room, I though It would be a great idea to start doing self portraits. Now I know why everyone does these, as these are just frustrating. Definitely more to come.
A still life I did today.
Crap I'm not confident with. I know I messed up with proportions somewhere. Feel free to comment if you see anything.
Wow... I've just looked over your whole SB...
You focus on faces just like me and do a crazy amount of studies I'm too lazy/blocked/whatever to do (but I don't give up)... (lazyness is a programmer's virtue... than this crazy urge to draw appeared)
In the beginning your faces was plastic and you didn't follow the original well enough... These are improved greatly, now you can draw lively faces instead of nicely rendered dolls. There are room for improvement of course, the quality isn't always the same...
I often thought, especially in the beginning but even after that but you render in a too clean and polished way, be messy, artistic, loose a bit Your old masters studies are more clean than the original (okay, those are photos and time has passed, traditional material but I'm sure it's not only that) - the originals are much more "free", lively, artistic... I know careful copying can act against the artistically loose painting style... But it seems you are in love with polished style, whatever you do, that's not messy. i don't say it's necessarily a problem, I just told you my thought.
Your faces are looking great and I am definitely seeing an improvement not only in your sketches, but in your digitals aswell. Keep posting
Also, I watched that video that you posted. Very interesting stuff, I learned quite a bit
shiNIN - Thanks for the response. I've just been noticing my too-polished style and have been trying different ways to give it that artistic feel.
Forrest_I - Thanks. The video helped me a lot too.
eh. boring week. just a self portrait and some sketches.
Hey. It's late so I'm just gonna post.
Life drawings.
Photo study
Skin practice
Crappy self-portrait I did too quickly.

Tom McClintock on Immigration2004 former Republican Challenger CA Governor | |
McCLINTOCK: I led the opposition to that measure on the senator floor this morning. I think it is a dangerous measure. The only purpose of it is to place valid state identification documents in the hands of illegal immigrants undermining enforcement of immigration laws.
The amendment made by subsection (a)(3) shall not be construed to affect the citizenship or nationality status of any person born before the date of the enactment of this Act.
[OnTheIssues note: This bill would change the existing interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which currently defines as a US citizen any person born within US territory. This bill intends to remove the right of illegal aliens to gain US citizenship by bearing children while in the country illegally; the issue is known by bill supporters as "anchor babies"]
ALIPAC supporters have a diverse range of opinions, yet we are united in the belief that more should be done to reduce illegal immigration. ALIPAC supports those that legally immigrate, but we DO NOT support any amnesty, visa expansion, or "Guest Worker" program designed to reward illegal aliens or legalize their presence in the US. We support a peaceful, non racist, rule of law approach to resolving illegal immigration. America is a land of generous and caring people, but our hospitality and values are being strained and abused by those who are willing to break the law and take our jobs and our tax dollars. America's illegal alien population will begin to shrink instead of grow if we support candidates that will reflect the will of the vast majority of American citizens.

good support for any standard neck maintenance. Just add a few layers of danish oil or simmilar to protect the bare wood before putting it to use
good, however the wood would be appropriated to be fixed
I use this always, it's best for your neck
muito bom, incrivelmente util
Well made tool. The cork inlay is a great idea.
practical and necessary when working on the fingerboard
This is a great little tool. I've used it while pressing frets as well as using while dressing frets. I put a couple 2x4's under it and can use it in acoustics and electrics. So simple in design yet so helpful. It's like having a helper in my shop!!!
I thought it would have been a little longer thats why I only gave 4 stars other than that, another great product
Great for working on necks that aren't attached to a body. There are a few sharp edges I knocked off with a touch of sand paper but the unit is solid and keeps your neck held securely.
It could be taller but otherwise great

Around a thousand years after ancient Egyptian culture really got going, Osiris and Isis started to appear in the stories and monuments of ancient Egyptians, with their son, who is named for his uncle, Horus the Elder. So nobody would get confused, they called the little guy Horus son of Isis or Horus the Younger (even though both gods are kings, have eye problems, and pick on Seth). Eventually, Horus the Elder became a sky god and a warrior, and Horus the Younger became associated with kingship.
Horus the Younger made a name for himself as a special god associated with the pharaohs themselves. As Isis and Osiris became more popular with the people, so did their son. Eventually, people got confused about which Horus was which—especially because there were a couple dozen other gods running around calling themselves Horus, too. (Horus the Elder says imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.)
A papyrus that tells the story of the 70-year battle between Horus the Younger and Seth is written on the back of another papyrus filled with boring accounting numbers. It's a powerful, PG-13 rated story that probably got told around campfires. Now if only someone had invented papyrus comics…
Horus the Younger is one of the most popular subjects for Late Period Egyptian art. They loved to cast bronze statues of him, especially in his full-hawk form. Beautiful paintings in papyri show him visiting his father Osiris, and showing the souls of dead people who made it past their final judgment into the Hall of the Two Truths.
The Ptolemies, late kings of Egypt who weren't Egyptian, wanted to make Horus the Younger easier for non-Egyptians to understand. Just like they made his father Osiris into Serapis, they created a new form for Horus the Younger—Harpocrates, a naked boy holding one finger to his lips. In hieroglyphs, this is just the glyph for the word "child," but the Ptolemies couldn't read glyphs. As a result, they thought it meant silence, like we still do today. Harpocrates became a god of silence and secrets, even though Horus the Younger talks just fine.
Horus the Younger followed Isis to Rome, where he was still worshipped. Since Roman warriors didn't wear the funny robes of Isis priests, they found a new way to dress him: as a Roman legionnaire in a full suit of armor.
Ancient Egyptian medical texts tell doctors who want to heal an injured eye to pour milk over it, just like Hathor does to Horus the Younger after Seth rips out his eyes. In some hieroglyphic texts, it says specifically that it should be the milk that Isis fed to Horus the Younger when he was a baby. Eventually, the Romans changed this to the "milk of any woman who has had a male child." Gross as it sounds, through the next two millennia and up through the Victorian Age, doctors and medical books all over Europe continued to advise using mother's milk to heal sore or damaged eyes.
Horus the Younger's Eye appears in the Great Seal of the United States, above an Egyptian Pyramid. This seal was created by the first U.S. government back in 1782, but it's still being used today—get a dollar bill and look at the back, and you'll see Horus staring back at you!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M women's tennis player Ines Deheza has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week, the Southeastern Conference announced today.
The Santa Cruz, Bolivia, native went a combined 5-1 in singles and doubles last week, including 3-0 at No. 4 singles where she posted straight-set wins in every match to help A&M go 3-0 during the stretch and improve to 6-0 in conference play for the season.
In a non-conference match against Virginia, Deheza came back from a 4-2 second-set deficit to defeated Li Xi, 6-1, 6-4, and give the Aggies a 3-1 lead. A&M went on to defeat the Cavaliers, 5-2, to improve to 6-0 in home matches.
At LSU, Deheza and doubles partner and twin sister Paula Deheza clinched the doubles point for A&M with an 8-3 victory over Kaitlin Burns and Ella Taylor at the No. 3 line. Ines then secured A&M's match-winning point in singles, defeating LSU's Ariel Morton, 6-2, 6-2, as the Aggies went on to blank the Tigers, 7-0, in Baton Rouge.
At Arkansas, Ines and Paula led the entire doubles match en route to an 8-5 victory over Ana Hernandez and Kimberley-Ann Surin to help lead A&M to the doubles point and a 1-0 lead. In singles, Ines won the first set against Surin, 6-3, but trailed 5-4 in the second set before winning three consecutive games to close out a 6-3, 7-5 straight-set victory that gave A&M a 5-1 lead.
Deheza improved to 3-0 in SEC singles matches and 7-3 overall. In doubles, she improved to 4-1 in SEC matches and 8-3 in dual matches.
The Aggies (13-1, 6-0 SEC) return to action Friday as they take on Missouri in Columbia, Mo. First serve against the Tigers is at 5 p.m. at the Green Tennis Center. A&M, which will be playing its fifth consecutive SEC road match, enters the contest riding an 11-match win streak.
Last Week's Results for Ines Deheza:
3/13 Li Xi, Virginia W 6-1, 6-4
3/15 Ariel Morton, LSU W 6-2, 6-2

Letov LF-107 Lunak Glider
The Czech aerobatic glider LF-107 Lunak was designed by Rudy Letov and further developed by a group of sailplane pilots and aeronautical engineers. The good aerobatic and gliding characteristics of the prototype drew considerable attention at aerobatic competitions in Ziar, Poland, and Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1949. With the advent of the Cold War, the factory was pushed into the production of MiG-15 aircraft and only 75 examples of the Lunak were built. Production models were used in local clubs for sailing and aerobatics as well as for training jet pilots. Of the 75 Lunak-107s built only nine remain in the world today.
This aircraft was donated to the Museum by Mira Slovak. Slovak, known as "The Flying Czech," was a star in the unlimited hydroplane racing scene in the 1950s and 1960s, winning the national high point championship twice. Born in Czechslovakia in 1929, Slovak's passion for aviation began at an early age and by his early 20s, he was working as a captain and chief pilot for the communist government-controlled Czechoslovakian Airlines. Slovak became an international celebrity in 1953, when he overpowered his communist co-pilot on a flight from Prague to Brno and hijacked his own plane to Frankfurt, Germany and freedom from the communist regime. He later immigrated to the U.S., where after having trouble finding work as a commercial pilot, worked as crop duster in Yakima, Washington. After moving to Seattle, Slovak had the fortune to meet Bill Boeing, Jr. who hired him as his private pilot and gave him the opportunity to race his hydroplanes for him. After numerous racing victories, he was inducted into the Unlimited Hydroplane Hall of Fame in 1963.

Dropping just $12,000 for a Ferrari might sound like a dream-come-true... but don't get too excited. The Ferrari you'd be picking up only goes 12.5 miles per hour.
In fact, despite its branded image, the Limited Edition Ferrari PTi2 apparently has no performance advantage over the original, though its leather-trimmed handlebars, classic Ferrari red paint and Scuderia Ferrari logo certainly make the personal transport vehicle look the park.
Like the original, the PTi2 can go about 64 miles on a single charge at speeds two to three times as fast as the average walker. Ferrari's employees apparently scoot around their Maranello plant on Segways quite a bit to save time.

It is a rivalry that will always have friction, no matter the mutual respect. Whether the away team is making the four-hour trip from Pullman to Seattle, or from Seattle to Pullman, the Apple Cup is always worth the wait. And though it may not be the official name of the game when it comes to rugby, the intensity is still the same. |

Bowl season begins to take shape as BCS stands pat in projections | Story Highlights The BCS remained the same this week with LSU-Alabama still in the title gameThe ACC shuffled considerably, with Florida State now in the Chick-fil-A BowlIf Georgia loses, the Outback Bowl will pick between the Bulldogs and Gamecocks |
Things are starting to become pretty clear, and I only made a few changes from last week, none in the BCS bowls. The ACC lineup shuffled considerably, with Florida State moving up to the Chick-fil-A Bowl, sending Clemson to the Champs Sports Bowl. The Orlando game really wants to match FSU and Notre Dame, but the Atlanta game would have to either pass on 7-5 Auburn for 6-6 Florida or voluntarily take a Clemson team that would have lost three straight games.
In the SEC, Arkansas appears locked in to the Capital One Bowl. Assuming a Georgia loss this weekend, it's unclear whether the Outback Bowl would prefer the 10-3 Dawgs or 10-2 South Carolina. I gave it the Gamecocks, sending Georgia to the Cotton Bowl. Vanderbilt became bowl eligible, and while the hometown Music City Bowl will have first choice over the Liberty Bowl, the Commodores may opt for Memphis instead, sending Mississippi State to Nashville.
And the Pac-12 is a mess, as no team besides Oregon or Stanford (both BCS bound) finished better than 7-5. The Alamo Bowl will have first choice of the leftovers, and the guess is it takes Washington, sending Cal to the Holiday Bowl. If UCLA receives a waiver to participate at 6-7, its likely destination is San Francisco.
A few reminders:
After the No. 1 and 2 teams are slotted and replaced, the BCS at-large selection order this year is Fiesta-Sugar-Orange. The highest-ranked non-automatic qualifier (in this projection Houston) is guaranteed a BCS berth if it finishes in the Top 12 or in the Top 16 and ahead of the Big East champion.
Most bowls are not obligated -- I repeat, NOT OBLIGATED -- to choose in exact order of conference standings. For instance, "Big 12 No. 3" means "third selection of Big 12 teams," not "the Big 12's third-place team."
I'm currently projecting only two surplus eligible teams (Western Kentucky and Ball State), though Hawaii could become eligible if it beats BYU.

Other Bowls | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Teams in bold have accepted an invitation.
* -- replacement team for a conference without an eligible team.
** -- the Champs Sports Bowl can pick Notre Dame instead of a Big East team once in the current four-year period (2010-13).

- Ingredients A-Z
- In Season
Ingredients by
Gratin Dauphinois
This is so often served in restaurants as a gooey sludge that seems to have hung around too long. But home-made, straight from the oven, it is truly one of the great classics. I know it does seem extravagant to use 5 fl oz (150 ml) cream for 1 lb (450 g) potatoes, but I would forego a pudding with cream once in a while in order to justify it. And although cheese is sometimes added to this, I think it masks the potato flavour too much.
Serves 3-4
Ingredients |
1 lb (450 g) good-quality potatoes (King Edward or Desirée) |
1 small clove garlic, crushed |
5 fl oz (150 ml) double cream |
5 fl oz (150 ml) milk |
freshly grated nutmeg |
1 oz (25 g) butter |
salt and freshly milled black pepper |
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C). |
Conversions |
Need help with conversions? |
Equipment |
You will also need an 8½ inch (21 cm) oval, shallow gratin dish, well buttered. |
First, peel the potatoes and slice them very, very thinly (a wooden mandolin is excellent for this operation, if you have one), then plunge the potato slices into a bowl of cold water and swill them round and round to get rid of some of the starch. Now dry them very thoroughly in a clean tea cloth. Then in the gratin dish arrange a layer of potato slices, a sprinkling of crushed garlic, pepper and salt and then another layer of potatoes and seasoning.
Now mix the cream and milk together, pour it over the potatoes, sprinkle with a little freshly grated nutmeg, then add the butter in flecks over the surface and bake on the highest shelf in the oven for 1½ hours.
