Excerpt from Mark 9:30-37"[Those who] want to be first must place [themselves] last of all and be the servant of all."Reflection by William C. GreenWho's in charge in your family? You as a single parent? You and your spouse or partner? Do you make joint decisions? Is the whole family involved? And what about at church? Is it the pastor? the Church Council? the congregation?Jesus spoke of being first by being last and "the servant of all." Some take this to mean "leadership from behind" where the focus is on forging consensus or training and moving others up front. Others think it's about not coveting prominence and finding greatness in humility—don't sit at the head of the table. We miss Jesus' point if we focus on the style and display of leadership rather than its purpose. Jesus speaks of that purpose in terms of welcoming, embracing, and protecting the most vulnerable, those without standing—in the case he gives, children. He could have spoken of anyone powerless and marginalized by the status and authority commonly accorded leaders. Anthony Robinson speaks of the purpose of good leadership in a book with application beyond the church, Leadership for Vital Congregations: "She or he provides direction, protection, orientation, deals with conflict, and pays attention to norms." But then Robinson adds, "How those functions are fulfilled may vary depending on time and place." There's more than one way to be a good parent, pastor, and civic or political leader. There's more than one way to conduct a good meeting to serve all, not just a few. Too often fixed ideas of leadership become more important than what needs to get done. Wanting everyone in the discussion we can forget why there's a discussion except that nobody should be left out. And wanting to be good parents of happy and successful children we can forget that this, too, confuses means with the greater end of maturity which includes dealing with hard times.Jesus calls us to look beyond conventional ideas of success and what it means to be in charge. Good leadership is fluid and flows to the needs of others. Success is resilience in the service of that goal. PrayerGod, may our leadership focus less on right ways of doing things and more on what needs to be done in the spirit of Christ. Amen.

EEVS Made Easy
Released on Thu, Jun 05, 2008
Next week, the House Immigration Subcommittee will hold a hearing to discuss the challenges and problems of a mandatory, nation-wide, electronic employment verification system (EEVS). EEVS is the centerpiece of the "SAVE Act," introduced in Congress in November of last year by Reps. Heath Schuler (D-NC) and Tom Tancredo (R-CO), which proposes a host of deeply flawed deportation-only immigration measures. This week, Immigration OnPoint highlights the many serious shortcomings of current federal and state legislative proposals to implement a mandatory EEVS for all employers.

November 27, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A California appeals court has overturned the rape conviction of a man who pretended to be a sleeping woman's boyfriend, saying in part that an arcane law from 1872 doesn't protect unmarried women in such cases.
In a decision posted Wednesday from the Los Angeles-based court, a panel of judges reversed the trial court's conviction of Julio Morales and remanded it for retrial.
Judge Thomas L. Willhite Jr. writes the law contains "historical anomalies" and the case should be retried to ensure the jury's conviction is supported.
Morales had been sentenced to three years in state prison after entering a woman's bedroom late one night after her boyfriend had gone home and initiating sexual intercourse while she was asleep, after a night of drinking.
The decision urges the Legislature to examine the law.

Windows 8,32 bit RTM,
VMware workstation 9
While trying to install windows 8 on VMware workstation 9 the following error will come
"Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation"
When we create a New virtual machine, Choose the option:
I will install the operating system later.
The virtual machine will be created with a blank hard disk.(Do not type the path to the ISO file).
After creating New virtual machine additionally set the path to the ISO file (VM/ settings/ CD-DVD.../Use ISO image file)
After running the New virtual machine to automatically install the new Microsoft operating system windows 8 without any problem
You mean VMware 8? VMware workstation 9 and Player 5 work fine with the templates. I've installed the RTM several times without any issues.
Yes, VMware workstation 9, not VMware workstation 8.For VMware workstation 8 we got the BSOD error.I have tested with 3 more laptops and desktops with vmware 9. Always stick with same error.
No, you mean Workstation 7. this version created a BSOD (0x5D). Since Version 8 it worked, but you must use your trick. Version 9 works fine. Update to the latest version and try it again.
Btw, please revert my unintentional change, I've clicked on on cancel but my firefox 17 seams to have issues.
This was very helpful, I ran into this issue just now. And I can now install win 8 rtm without any errors. Very good. Thanks!
It was funny, VMware recognized the OS but I kept getting the error, the solution provided worked for me using VMware 9.
Well, I am getting this error with Workstation 9. Definitely 9. I am, however, installing Server 2012 whilst getting it...
Oh, and for the record, doing as the article suggested fixed my problem. Thanks!
This error usually comes when you install Server 2012 on VM. Solution is to create VM with blank HDD. Power it off. Right click on it. Go to Settings. Select CD/DVD (IDE). Right side select 'Use ISO image' and select a path for server image, Power on Virtual m/c. Problem solved.
Same problem, same solution for Windows 2012 Server R2 and Parallels Desktop 9.
Thanks a lot!

Today's Alertbox from Uncle Jakob arrived in my inbox, and as usual, I scanned the headline and summary in the preview pane before deciding whether today was a day I had the 20 – 30 minutes necessary to digest his topic du jour. Here's his subject & summary:
Subject: Write Articles, Not Blog Postings
Summary: "To demonstrate world-class expertise, avoid quickly written, shallow postings. Instead, invest your time in thorough, value-added content that attracts paying customers."
Guess what I decided? I did have about that amount of time, and yet I preferred to spend 10 minutes reading his summary and intro, get the gestalt of his point, and spend the remaining 10 minutes sharing my reaction with my community.
Audacious, I know.
I actually don't want to discuss the meat of his "analysis" (yet), because there's real charts and data, and I'd like to try to understand his "scientific" position before I decide to agree or disagree. As I said, this takes more than a few minutes. What doesn't take more than a few minutes to observe, however, is what I do want to discuss: his clear bias.
Avoid shallow postings and instead write value-added content, he says. I couldn't agree more. But what exactly does this have to do with the medium chosen for the writing in question? Is it possible to write regularly scheduled and published "articles" that provide little value add? Is it equally possible that some have found an ability to "post" interesting and thought-provoking commentary in real time, and influence an ongoing discussion?
Jakob has never written a blog–at least as far as I can tell–but he has written an excellent and respected newsletter for years. Seth Godin, on the other hand, has never written a regularly scheduled newsletter full of articles–at least as far as I can tell–but writes an excellent and well respected blog.
Marshall McLuhan said, "The ignorance of how to use new knowledge stockpiles exponentially." So, don't worry about Uncle Jakob. He's simply mistaking the medium for the message.
I invite you to comment
i read that article as well and i couldn't help but feel it was off the mark. he was stating that blogging wasn't as worthwhile as writing in-depth articles, but failed to really clarify how they were worthwhile, and to who? i look forward to your upcoming critique.
I skimmed the article and did not go through all the charts and "analysis."
Nielson is confusing the messenger and the message. Blogging is the messenger. The message is the content be it an article or blog postor podcast or video. It should always be thoughtful, meaty, and add value. The fact that any author is not always going to be at the right end of the bell curve of excellence — whether blogging or writing articles — means that he or she is just like Shakespeare: human. That's not a reason to stop writing (or blogging).
Blogging, is not just the message, its appeal is in immediacy and honesty. The blog post opens passionate threads of response – where else do you get that? Open, honest, immediate discussion. And blogging is a platform where opinion is the only credential that matters.
Blogging injects the personality of the writer into the topic–you get a feeling that you know the blog writer. Readers often become fans of the blog, and return regularly. Blog readers get to vote on the topic in real time, and rush to be the first post. Articles have a different value – so it need not be "them or us."
I couldn't agree more with all three of you.
Leslie, you bring up an especially interesting point regarding the personality factor. It's one we often discuss (in fact, as I posted this Avinash, Jeffrey and I had this very same discussion). I'm not surprised it's a perspective Jakob misses, given his predilection for referring to the human beings that make up his/our/your audience en masse as USERS. Sad.
[...] just seems telling that nobody's bidding on "Universal Search" (see thumbnail). And if "blog postings" aren't important, as Jakob Nielsen insists, why would a single Search Engine Land post rank higher than everything [...]
I read Jacob's article and felt something was amiss in it. I do agree that content matters. But at the same time how can one reject a small post as being shallow?
As Leslie points out and Howard seconds, blogs bring out the personality behind the words. This in itself adds depth to the posts.
A small post by Scooble will make me go and research on the topic than a large researched post by a lesser known blogger. (In the former case I go to understand the subject if I am not familiar, in the later case I am happy to have read through something new and forget it).
Which one had the effect?
[...] And with relevance comes the fact that short works for some and long works for others. As Howard Kaplan states, Nielsen writes excellent, well respected, long newsletter articles whereas Seth Godin writes [...]
Long posts are not always the way to go! Just like on-page content, shouldn't any written material be only as long as is necessary to make the point? Sometimes that is more, sometimes less.
Didn't have patience to read whole article word by word …but think I got the point. I think what Jacob's trying to say is, Variability in Blog Posting Quality is very high as opposed to the more steady quality in newsletter articles (across the board). Everyone gets blogs published each day. Lots of those are quick comments (like this one you put together in 10minutes today:)) as opposed to more carefully considered and thought out articles. This, makes blogs across the board lower quality content than newsletter articles. Due to that I personally think that it's likely that search engines will give articles more credibility than blogs…
oh also, difference in quality is due to the factor that blogging is very informal. Newsletter articles on the other hand are more formal, you feel more responsible towards your audience to supply them with quality stuff and avoid dissapointment. It is just a medium but the nature of the medium does I think influences the way we approach it thus the quality of the content itself.
Would like to hear what others think of this last point especially….
I agree with Uncle Jakob that there is a lot of information pollution out there – lots of bloggers publish useless fluff.
But I also agree with Howard that he is missing the power of the medium – blogs are DESIGNED to create discussion- it's one of the reasons why it is such a powerful medium. Jakob seems to have completely missed the interactive nature and power of blogs.
At the end of the day – it is the reader who determines value. I think a combination of long, well thought out "article" posts and shorter "look what this other blog is saying" posts is probably the ideal combo. You get the "expertise" and credibility of sharing your own knowledge in helpful long articles that have a long shelf life. But you are also an important part or catalyst of discussions with shorter posts that engage your audience in an interactive discussion.
Good point. I think the medium does have some affect on the way the content is generated. After you've sent out an email to thousands of people you can't make edits to it easily. On the other hand if I publish a blog and then find a major typo an hour later, I can easily change it.
There is no prescribed method for blogging though. If someone wanted to have a Jakob Nelson newsletter in a blog format they could. I frankly wish he would just so I could comment on his articles every now and then.
Re: Blogs creating discussion
Maybe that is why Jakob doesn't like the blogging format. Allowing discuss and inevitable dissent may undermine the credibility of the author. What do you think?
Any author who considers themselves infallible probably shouldn't be considered an expert. People make mistakes all the time, it is what makes us human. Neils Bohr said "an expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field." I should hope any author had enough humility to have some one disagree with their point of view even when they don't like. As an author I don't enjoy dissent but respect people's right to disagree.
Having read the longggg article (Mr. Nielsen really likes to type doesn't he?) I disagree with just about every one of his points. (Yes, there's a lot of dreck out there in blogville but newsletters, "well-thought out" articles and such can also be (and often are) absolutely terrible. Depends on the person doing the research, writing, and thinking. Further, one person's dreck is another's gold.)
The one paragraph that really has me shaking my head is:
"For most sites, the content is not the point. Instead, you want to answer customers' questions as rapidly as possible so that they'll advance in the sales cycle and start buying (or donate, or sign up for your newsletter, or whatever else you want them to do)."
Content not the point? I'd be interested in Nielsen doing some more thinking and writing to help me understand what he meant. Particularly since he's supposed to be a "Web expert."
And, smart, rational people disagree all the time.
As long, as everyone recognizes, that I'm always right!
Seriously, the term "expert" always sets off sirens for me. As Bryan notes, people make mistakes all the time. It's what we learn from them (and each other) that helps increase our wisdom (not our "expertness" – if that's even a word…)
Stoney: Amen, brother!
Natasha: across the board, I agree with your point- more traditional newsletters/articles are likely to have more high quality content than many blogs. Yet, it's important to note- this isn't a mutually exclusive choice we're making blogs vs. newsletters. That's my primary issue with Jakob's position. Like all consumers today (consumers both of content as well as product), I want what I want… when I want it, how I want it. The fact that Jakob wants to publish according to *his* schedule is all well and good, but my timetable for information is far more immediate than once per week. I will choose the newsletters than I read regularly, based on their quality content, as I will choose the blogs I ready daily, based on theirs.
Regarding your last point, I won't argue with the lack of formality associated with many blogs/blogposts, but regarding the blogger's feelings of responsibility, I wonder, do you blog?
Personally, having both blogged and written articles for our newsletter, back when each was a distinct entity, I can tell you I felt NO difference in responsibility towards the audience– I ALWAYS feel responsible to offer relevant, salient, interesting or thought provoking content, regardless of the medium. If not, why bother?
Ryan: I'm glad you asked the question, because it's something we hear often and it may easily be a contributing factor to Jakob blasting the medium- he does not want to facilitate people questioning his "dogma".
However, my response is the same as when retailers are fearful of putting reviews on their site because of potential negative feedback: you're free to live under the delusion that if you don't facilitate the commentary, it won't exist… but please let me know how that works out for you. Consumer opinion in today's highly interconnected world simply can't be held back. Take a recent example- Robert Scoble is hosting comments for Marc Andreessen's new blog on his popular blog because Marc has actively decided not to (for now). As Holly so aptly pointed out, "expertise" is granted through the conveyance of knowledge, and the acceptance of the community.
[...] experts like Jakob Nielsen think we're nuts for blogging, so be it. When we find any future-predicting gurus out there, we'll let you [...]
[...] Earlier this week we heard from the ready-to-make-rules about anything he personally dislikes Uncle Jakob Nielsen and now we hear whining about how Debbie Weil helps [...]

IFDS/State Street scooped the European Transfer Agent of the Year award at the Custody Risk European Awards 2011
Fund managers are becoming increasingly aware that a good transfer agent can help enhance their brand and maintain strong relationships with their customers. Transfer agents are at the front line, handling fund managers' key client relationships and, as such, this back-office function is being more highly valued. This has led a number of groups to review their transfer agency provision and consolidate it with one provider.
IFDS/State Street has been a significant beneficiary of this trend in 2011. For example, a major international asset manager outsourced all of its European and Asian distribution support transfer agency functions – including its Ireland, Luxembourg and UK fund ranges – from in-house provision to the group; F&C Asset Management shifted its offshore Luxembourg/Ireland and closed-end UK business; and Threadneedle moved its transfer agency functions for its Luxembourg and UK fund ranges to IFDS/State Street.
As fund managers expand their distribution around the world, they want a provider that can support them across multiple business areas and locations. Over the 12 months to August, the group saw growth in both the retail and institutional transfer agency segments, with 149 new organisations converting – an increase of 15.5%. Assets under administration grew 8.2% over the period. The group is the only transfer agent covering both retail and institutional clients in all of the core European markets.
IFDS/State Street improved its support for organisations distributing Ucits funds into the Asian markets. It also put significant investment into the automation of fund-of-fund order routing and settlement. This was particularly important for the group's growing client base in Italy. It also added the Italian Banca Corrispondente business to its European multi-product offering and distribution.
Elsewhere, the group also improved its range of services for large institutions, combining trading and servicing with integrated reporting via its web portal. It was also Europe's first transfer agent to support offshore T+0 money market funds on the National Securities Clearing Corporation platform. IFDS is also the first organisation to implement straight-through processing net settlement via Calastone.
During the year, IFDS/State Street adapted its fee rebate engine to function at a consolidated asset level, and different fee calculation methodologies are now available for individual European markets. Clients can now manage fee rebates at a fund domicile level or consolidate assets across multiple domiciles.
Germany is still the group's largest market, but it has seen significant growth in the Swiss and Luxembourg markets. It was IFDS/State Street's ability to continue to generate growth in difficult markets that particularly impressed the judges.

Golden CapTalk0
this wiki
The Golden Cap of Oz, 1, 2, 3!The Golden Cap is a magical item that is introduced in L. Frank Baum's first Oz book titled 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', published in 1900. The cap itself is magically enchanted with a special charm that allows who ever wears it on their head to call upon the Winged Monkeys of Oz three times and three times only. Much like rubbing a magic lamp to get three wishes from a Genie.
Baums' Description
It is a very unique looking hat of fine yellow fabrics and real solid gold. It has a beautiful circle of glistening diamonds and precious red rubies running all the way around it. The enchantment held within it is a special charm that is only invoked by the following incantation, which is written inside the cap that one must shout out loud for it to properly work.
*The Charm Of The Golden Cap*
While saying the magic spell of the cap one must also follow the movements the words require which are the following:
- First, stand upon the left foot and say "Ep-pe, Pep-pe, Kak-ke."
- Then, stand upon the right foot and say "Hil-lo, hol-lo, hel-lo."
- Finally, stand on both feet and shout "Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik!"
After doing this correctly, the Winged Monkeys in Oz appear before you and at your survive. They must obey you no matter how good or bad the desired deed you want done by them may be.
History of Oz's Golden Cap:
Many centuries ago in the magical Land of Oz, the Golden Cap was first intended to be a valuable wedding present from a beautiful and fair princess of Oz named Gayelette who ruled over the Northern Gillikin Country.
This gift was to be for her dearly beloved Quelala, and was said to have cost half her royal Kingdom to create. One fatal day, the group of Winged Monkeys who we're mischievous trouble makers, loving to play and horse around, played a trick on Quelala only all in innocent fun by dropping him in a river and getting him soaking wet on Princess Gayelette's wedding day. Now Gayelette, wasn't just any average pretty princess, she also was also a great Sorceress who was talented in practicing the magic arts of Witchcraft. When she found out what the Monkeys did to her soon to be husband on her big day, she became infuriated and punished them by making them eternal slaves to the Golden Cap that was meant to be a gift for Quelala.Quelala happened to be the first owner of the Golden Cap, and sadly he commanded the Winged Monkeys to stay away from Gayelette and the royal kingdom they lived in so they would not upset Gayelette ever again. The Monkeys we're all banished from the place Gayelette ruled over and were never allowed to come back.
Over time, as the years past by, the Golden Cap Unfortunately fell into the hands of the Wicked Witch of the West, who used it first to conquer the Winkie Country and enslaved the Winkie people to work for her. Then she used it a second time to fight off the Great Oz. And finally the last time to capture Dorothy Gale and her companions who we're trespassing in her land.After the Witch was melted, Dorothy took the cap and used it to travel back to the Emerald City and then to the Quadling Country.
Glinda took the cap and returned Dorothy's companions to their homes. Then she gave it to the Winged Monkeys, freeing them forever. (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)
In Films
The Golden Cap made a small Cameo in the 1939 film of The Wizard of Oz.

What's the appeal of Biscotti?
- s
- SmallSteps3000 Nov 5, 2013 01:10 PM
Is it that it's low calorie?
Or is it because it pairs well with coffee? I don't drink coffee, so I wouldn't know.
For how expensive these things are, these "cookies" really are not that great tasting-- particularly the plain ones that aren't covered in chocolate.
They remind me of the cookies I made when younger, when I overworked the batter, and the cookies came out cakey and stiff.
There are so many flavors and so much variety. I think the really crunchy ones are addictive, but nice also dunked in any drink.
If you have only had prepackaged, assembly line biscotti, then there is no appeal.
Go to Italy and have biscotti. Especially biscotti di Prato. Then come back here and we'll talk.
Or make your own from a recipe from a well-respected source. They should NOT be "cakey and stiff."
re: ttoommyy
What should they be? Assuming they really are twice-baked, I would expect them to crisp/crunchy, and dry.
re: sunshine842
Exactly! But not "cakey and stiff" as the OP stated. That just sounds stale, and a good biscotti does not taste stale at all.
re: roxlet
Mmmmmm biscotti and Vin Santo - my favorite
re: Cherylptw
If OP has had low calorie biscotti that might be the problem. I make several kinds as gifts for Christmas morning- lavendar and lemon, pistachio, and cranberry almond. Some are glazed, others dipped, some left plain. All are delicious but none are low-cal.
re: Cherylptw
This was my first thought, when did biscotti become low calorie?
re: fldhkybnva
Agree they have never been low calorie, but they can be relatively low fat. Of course, nuts add fat and IMO plenty of hazelnuts are key to good biscotti.
I have a great recipe for biscotti. It's really almondy, and when dipped in coffee, retains a bit of a crunch, even though it's soft. Really intriguing texture. Inedible without coffee.
There are some decent packaged biscotti di Prato imported from Italy. There are some not so hot. The real offender in my opinion, and this might be what the OP is referring to, are those individually wrapped multi-flavor, largeish things on sale at coffee house counters. Horrible stuff, even if some of them are "artisanal" attempts. For what it's worth, it can be easy to forget that biscotti is also a generic name for cookies, of which there are many regional varieties. A proper Italian American pasticceria will have at least some, like biscotti all'anice (anise) or my favorite, biscotti al sesamo, also called regina cookies, from the Sicilian tradition..
I don't dunk, just like the crispness, and the fact that they last forever. I make my own, any that I have purchased have not been worth the money so maybe you could try making some at home. They also freeze very well.
It's very difficult to find good ones. When you do find good ones, they're wonderful. And, for the most part, they are not low calorie.
I have eaten in Rome and Florence. I was raised on Long Island but have lived most of my life in the Boston area, where most bakeries are Italian.
IMO, Italian breads are excellent but I have never had an Italian baked sweet that I thought was worth the calories.
Biscotti, cannoli, etc. All meh compared to a Napoleon, rugelach, pflaumekuechen...or even a Toll House cookie!
Ducking into my bomb shelter now....
I feel like biscotti cannot be enjoyed alone, that it really needs to be dunked and nibbled with a cappucino, espresso, or maybe a dessert wine.
In milan i most often recieved a small (maybe 3") almond biscotti free with my espresso- and everyone around me was dunking away.
There are some terrifying coated, drizzled, huge hockey pucks (**ahem, starbucks**) that are just wrong IMO.
re: acssss
re: sunshine842
Ouch! Someone is in a bad mood!
I was just making a joke (hence the smiley face) that "what is the appeal of a cookie?" sounds like a very funny question.
re: acssss
take a deep breath -- it's a reference to another thread.
Thus the laughing face.
re: sunshine842
wait... wait... ok, now I'm good
re: sunshine842
A bit above the rest of some of the poor plebeian souls who may have never traveled to Italy, are we?
re: Jessiet
Seriously -- get yourself an oxygen tank, then go read this:
It even turns right around and similarly references this thread.
The appeal is for me is that they are so durable. Not overly sweet,and great with my coffee. I have made them many times.And have eaten them in Italy.Reminds me to make some for this Christmas. I have a great book. Biscotti.written by Lou Siebert Pappas.Traditional,Chocolate,and Regional recipes.
re: emglow101
I'm going to look for that book, thanks.
re: emglow101
Biscotti (the book) is on its way to me, thanks to your suggestion. $.01 plus S&H.
This is a bit of an odd query.
What exactly is the point of reference? When one asks what the "appeal" of biscotti is, what does that mean exactly?
If you describe them as "cakey" and "stiff" that's certainly a subjective description, right?
I mean, one could say what's the appeal of butter cookies, they're just crumbly with a flat butter taste.
Or, what's the appeal of chocolate chip cookies, they're just sweet and chocolate-y.
If you don't like biscotti that's all fine and well, but to ask what thee appeal of them is, is sort of like asking "why is a circle round?"
It is what it is.
re: paulj
Think homemade chocolate chip cookies vs. Chips Ahoy and you're on the right track.
Like any food category, there are good ones and bad ones and even mediocre ones.
re: iL Divo
1. Dunkability, especially with coffee.
2. If baked/toasted until really dry, they keep a LONG time in a tin or airtight container. Great for make-ahead holiday baking! Homemade biscotti and complementary coffee, tea, or hot chocolate make a lovely gift for any caffiend.
3. They're often less sweet than commercial cookies.
4. With a few judicious substitutions, they *should* be relatively easy to make vegan (which, for the record, I am definitely NOT, but might be baking for friends who are).
re: laliz
I'm still trying to understand what distinguishes 'regular' biscotti from 'good'.
Is the bad stuff too sweet, or not sweet enough? Too hard or too soft? Not enough of your favorite flavoring or too strong on artificial flavors? Too many nuts or not enough? Stale? But how can you tell if it is stale if it has been baked till dry? Are we talking about home made ones fresh out of the oven, or two weeks old out of the cookie jar?
re: paulj
"But how can you tell if it is stale if it has been baked till dry?"
The staling of bread and baking until dry are not the same things. Stale bread stills retains some moisture and is very noticeable upon tasting while baking until dry evaporates the moisture and lends a crisp, airy texture to the biscotti.
re: ttoommyy
I don't think the staleness of (soft) fresh bread is a good comparison. Staleness of old crackers might be a better comparison. That's probably a different process. We say a cracker is 'stale' if it looses its crispness, i.e. it has absorbed moisture from the air. This is different (I think) from degelatinizing of the starches.
Some commercial biscotti is individually wrapped, which should prevent this moisture absorption.
One of the purposes of twice-baking was to extend shelf life. Dry breads don't grow mold. 'biscuit' comes from the same root, and 'ships biscuits' were the epitome of bread designed for a long shelf life.
re: sandylc
Whether 'stale' encompasses rancidity or not, is that an issue with biscotti? They are generally low fat - except for nuts.
re: paulj
Now you're making wonder what "stale" specifically is...I got this from Mr. Google:
"1. (of food) no longer fresh and pleasant to eat; hard, musty, or dry.
"stale bread"
synonyms: old, past its best, off, dry, hard, musty, rancid, overstored"
Not a chemical description, but not too bad...
My biscotti has five eggs and a small amount of butter and quite a lot of nuts - not sure about the fat content, but there is some there. Also, they have whole wheat in them, which will also have fat to become rancid.
That said, they keep very well in a tight-lidded tin. I am sending some to England tomorrow, so I hope they keep fairly well - !
re: luckyfatima
I'm trying to figure out whether 'well made traditional biscotti' in Italy are any different. My impression from recipes is that dry and not very sweet the nature of the beast.
the dough in this recipe has 2c flour, 3/4c sugar, 1/2c butter. It also uses baking powder, not yeast. The sugar and butter amounts are half of a typical American cookie. The dough is formed into a flattened log, baked, sliced, and baked again.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Ingredients are only part of the cost of baked goods. With lower butter and sugar ratios the ingredients for biscotti might even be lower than for most cookies - though nuts and such might increase that.
But handling is different - form, bake, cool, slice, bake again, dip in chocolate...
And scale of operations.
And what the market will bear. At least in the USA, they are mostly produced and sold on the boutique market scale, where all prices are higher.
re: paulj
<But handling is different - form, bake, cool, slice, bake again, dip in chocolate>
Yep, I was thinking about that. Either (a) they are charging the higher price because the criteria is higher for biscotti or (b) they are charging the higher price because they can -- there is a market for it.
"Here it is, a biscotti recipe everyone can enjoy — unlike classic Italian biscotti, which are quite hard, these are light and crunchy."
However this recipe does not look very different from other ones that I've looked at. Maybe the dough is a bit wetter.
From Gabriele Corcos (Extra Virgin)
"This traditional cookie from Prato is supposed to be real dry and crunchy; it is in fact our regional dipping cookie, generally consumed after a meal with a glass of Vin Santo."
History of biscotti - esp. this Prato version, which appears to be the most traditional (possibly w/o the baking powder).
A possible point of confusion (regarding terminology):
"As noted, Italians call biscotti cantucci, and use the term biscotti to refer to any type of crunchy cookie, round, square and otherwise—as the British use the word biscuit. In North America, we use biscotti as the ancient Romans did, to describe a long, dry, hard twice-baked cookie (in other words, cantucci)."
re: ttoommyy
Wiki puts it in a more nuanced way:
"Although commonly used to indicate the biscuits of Prato, biscotti di Prato, in modern Italy and Argentina they are also known widely by the name "cantuccini". "
The point of my first quote is that 'biscotti' in Italy has a broader meaning than in the USA. 'di Prato' makes it more specific.
It also cites this bakery in Prato as the source of the dual name
re: paulj
I always figured the word 'biscotto' literally means "twice cooked" bis = 2, cotto = cooked...simillarly to ricotta (re-cooked).
To regard all 'cookies' or 'biscuits' as biscotto, sounds off to me, as most 'cookies' are only cooked once.
I could be totally off the mark with this one.
re: Novelli
"I always figured the word 'biscotto' literally means "twice cooked" bis = 2, cotto = cooked... To regard all 'cookies' or 'biscuits' as biscotto, sounds off to me..."
Words take on other meanings as time passes. You need only to look to the English language for that. The word "pudding" in the US is pretty much used specifically for the corn-starch thickened dessert, but in the UK the word "pudding" describes the broad category of "dessert".
re: Novelli
But 'biscuits' comes from the same Latin/Italian root as 'biscotto'. See the 'bis'.

Shay McElroy's Irish PubConsumption of spirits in a relaxing downtown locale always comes easy, thanks to the McElroy clan. They started with the comfortable beachhead pub in Shepherd Plaza, stepped up to the stylish setting of the State Bar & Lounge at the Rice Lofts, and have balanced that beautifully with the quietly cordial Shay McElroy's on the Main Street side of the Rice Hotel. Let the newly arrived drinking establishments downtown jack up the decibels and try to outdazzle and disco one another to death. As with the venerable La Carafe and Warren's, Shay is content to do what counts most: offer up quality drinks at reasonable prices, in the clean, cozy confines of a small neighborhood bar. In the bedlam of a downtown scene that's just beginning to find its true self, Shay McElroy's is as authentic as they come. The McElroys have managed to make their newest place look and feel as if it has been there since the beginning. May it last forever.

The BBC's programmes and services in the UK and around the world
Monday 9 December 2013, 09:15
This is a blog I have been looking forward to writing for many, many months. We have announced today that our five new HD channels will launch on Tuesday 10 December 2013 on all main TV platforms. This brings the total number of subscription-free HD channels from the BBC to seven.
Already, people living in more than half of UK homes have the ability to watch in HD. This is predicted to grow to 80% by 2016 and 90% by 2019. And I know that as the size of TV screen continues to grow, viewers increasingly appreciate the improved sharpness that HD offers.
The launch of CBBC HD, CBeebies HD, BBC Three HD, BBC Four HD and BBC News HD in time for Christmas means you'll be able to watch more festive treats in the highest quality from the comfort of your sofa.
In July 2013, we confirmed our intention to launch our five new HD channels by early 2014. But we couldn't resist the possibility of being able to deliver these early, in time to give them to you for Christmas. It's said that launching a channel takes at least 6 months. We will have managed to launch five channels in five months. So I want to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to the brilliant team of dedicated professionals, across the BBC, our suppliers and our platform partners, who have been pulling out all the stops to achieve this for our audiences.
Electronic Programme Guide channel numbers
This is where you will be able to find the new HD channels in EPGs:
CBeebies HD
BBC Three HD
BBC Four HD
BBC News HD
Freeview HD / YouView
Freesat HD
Sky HD (HD subscribers / non-subscribers)
613 / 633
614 / 624
115 / 210
116 / 211
Virgin Media
Putting the best, first: SD/HD Swapping
One goal in our approach to distributing our channels is to put the 'best' version of a channel first in the EPG, where the 'best' version has the right availability of nations or regional content, followed by the highest picture quality. We also factor in whether the channel has been technically enabled to launch our much-valued BBC Red Button services.
For Sky, you will see I have given more than one EPG number for most channels. With the exception of BBC News HD, we will enter into SD/HD swapping for our new HD channels from 10 December 2013. This is designed to make our best version the easiest to find by placing the HD version at the more prominent channel number currently assigned to the SD version. This swap will work for Sky customers who subscribe to one of its HD packages. It is also possible to receive the BBC's HD channels without paying for an HD subscription, provided that your set-top-box is HD compatible. However, the swap doesn't work for non-subscribers so they'll need to look for the HD channels at the new numbers I've listed. Hopefully one day the swap will work for everyone, so it will be simpler. Regarding BBC News HD, we have decided to delay the swapping with the SD channel until after the Christmas change freeze, ie, January 2014, in order to avoid non-essential technical work that could impact the availability of our existing SD BBC News channel whilst it is covering a major news story.
Sky HD viewers in Northern Ireland will hopefully have noticed that on 18 November 2013 we carried out a swap of BBC One NI HD with BBC One NI SD in the Sky EPG. This means that viewers who subscribe to a Sky HD package will now see BBC One NI HD at 101 and BBC One NI SD at 141. This pilot went very smoothly and we are going to make the same change for BBC One Scotland HD and BBC One Wales HD in their nations, while BBC Two HD, which carries the same programmes as BBC Two SD in England, will be swapped in England only. This will give Sky HD subscribers, wherever they are in the UK, a prime BBC service in HD in one of the first two positions in the EPG.
In 2014 we intend to make the equivalent SD/HD substitutions on Freesat, ie: BBC One in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; BBC Two in England; and the other five HD services across the UK. We would like to replicate these swaps on Freeview too but it is currently constrained by the channel listings policy. Virgin Media does not currently offer SD/HD swapping.
Freeview HD / YouView coverage
Readers of my earlier blog will know that on digital terrestrial television (Freeview HD and YouView), BBC Three HD and CBBC HD will use the single vacant slot within our own capacity (on Multiplex B), which has 98.5% coverage of UK homes. Meanwhile, BBC News HD, BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD will use new HD capacity, which will cover part of the UK and grow in coverage over time. It's great news that this new HD capacity has become available – through Ofcom's decision to license it and Arqiva's willingness to invest in operating it. It will boost the choice of HD quality programming available easily and for free via the UK's most popular TV platform. Freeview HD and YouView now offer 10 free HD channels broadcast to those living within the coverage of the new HD capacity. It's constraints around spectrum and costs that mean that this new HD capacity won't cover the whole UK. But at the point of our launch it covers 50% of UK homes, including the main city in each nation, and it will extend to cover 70% of UK homes by Wimbledon 2014.
Increased prominence for BBC channels in Virgin Media homes
I'm pleased that 10 December 2013 will also see a few other changes on the Virgin Media channel list that will make certain BBC channels easier to find. There are improved channel numbers for BBC Two HD , BBC ALBA and BBC Parliament :
BBC Parliament
Virgin Media
This change recognises the public service status of BBC channels that entitles them to "appropriate prominence" in channel lists. It happens to give us a nice block of BBC channels between 161 to 164, and we've aligned the final digits of 162, 163 and164 with BBC Two HD, BBC Three HD and BBC Four HD to help make the numbers easier to remember.
Advice on picking up the new HD channels
Ding Dong Merrily on High Def
I really am thrilled that we've been able to bring so many people this great boost in quality as an early Christmas present. My colleagues and I hope that you will enjoy our five new HD channels and the other efforts I've outlined above to help make the BBC's services easier to find.

Thank you for this, it's worth mentioning that BT TV Vision+ boxes will be carrying via IPTV BBC THREE HD, BBC FOUR HD and BBC NEWS HD from tomorrow for those who currently get the four existing PSB HD channels via that platform. (BT Care Forum post on Saturday).
You need to work on getting the channels offered on COM7 available via IPTV on ALL YouView services too, to placate those unable to receive that Multiplex. I contend that 70pct is a very generous estimate especially with the lower power associated with these transmissions compared to the current PSB HD Mux service.
I note that the Press Release on the Media Centre announces that HD content WILL be available on the iPlayer too, hopefully this will be from launch too, Your previous post inferred that this would not be the case.
Roll on live HD Streaming too.
Very glad to see the new HD channels launching, but why oh why aren't they using the same LCN as the SD channels on Freesat? We know LCN sharing between HD and SD channels is possible on Freesat as other broadcasters have done it, and I can't think of any good reason why the HD channels weren't given the prominent positions on the Freesat EPG for those with HD boxes.
Now many people will just carry on using the SD versions of these channels when we should be encouraging uptake of the HD variants.
Not only that, but were starting to see fragmentation of channels on the EPG now. Whereas before all the BBC entertainment channels were neatly grouped together numerically, we're now going to have two new HD ones that are stuck way down on the end of the entertainment genre.
It all seems a bit silly to me when the HD channels should surely have replaced their SD counterparts for those with compatible boxes.
ah, nice to see you've caught up! http://www.ukfree.tv/fullstory.php?storyid=1107052164
Will or when will local news be in HD. I Tend to watch BBC HD on Sky (141) and then have to swap to 101 for local news.
I do the same regarding BBC News and local BBC News as @mat So I will also be eagerly waiting for BBC 1 HD England regions.
I do have a question regarding the LCNs for BBC 3 HD and BBC 4 HD on Sky when there is no HD Subscription, why are they at 210 and 211 when 168 and 169 were free numbers?
Also why do the channels just have to swap with the HD pack, cant they be programmed to replace the SD channels altogether instead like the process that happens on freesat?
I see the HD for SD replacement a better method, as it keeps our EPGs that bit tidier and for FTA channels on Sky there is no need for the SD channels to sill be there, if the HD channels are there and FTA.
This would also be a good idea for Virgin Media customers too, as their EPGs are a bit messy.
I guess this would mean two distinct numbering systems for SD and HD boxes or something like that.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
the school is gettig better
My child attended here beginning with pre-k in 2001. I was OK through kindergarten but went downhill quickly after that in 2003 when she went to 1st grade. My child had 2 teachers and then I had to tell the princepal I wanted her moved due to an unstructured class. In 2nd grade her teacher was gone more than she was there. It's hard to keep your child up with other children if the teacher doesn't show up! Thank goodness we moved to Bossier Parish. This school has a long way to go if it wants to even stay average. In two words...not good!
