Master Muffin Mix.
Use my kitchen tested bakery-style muffin batter to create all your favorite muffin recipes! 1 muffin mix, endless options.
I have a real treat for you today. Several recipes in 1!
Many of you have been asking me for 1 simple muffin recipe. An easy, straightforward muffin batter to which you can add anything. Blueberries, banana, streusel, glaze, cinnamon, chocolate chip, the works.
I spent some time in the kitchen the past week playing around with my own "master muffin batter" and you're going to love the results.
I've been using the same muffin batter to make blueberry, chocolate chip, and raspberry chocolate chip muffins for the past year. I even used this same muffin batter to make Blueberry Streusel Muffins in my cookbook. See image here.
Using that same master batter, making only a couple changes that I will explain in this post, I made Very Berry Muffins and Banana Nut Muffins over this weekend.
I hope you're hungry.
Sally's Master Muffin Mix
My master muffin batter is a standard muffin recipe, thrown together in minutes, and requires no mixer. You'll need: flour (very careful not to overmeasure in this recipe!), baking powder, salt, cinnamon, eggs, sugar, buttermilk, oil, & vanilla extract. The base recipe is practically flavorless. You can't create a stand-out muffin without adding a few extras! Continue reading for ideas and baking method.
I use this ultra-thick batter to make muffins in a jumbo muffin pan. However, this muffin batter may be used in a standard 12-count muffin pan or even a 24-count mini muffin pan. See the notes in the recipe below about baking time adjustments.
Let's discuss the ingredients further.
About the Dry Ingredients
There's a lot of flour and baking powder used. But it's a large recipe! I use plenty of leavener to make the muffins rise nice and tall, keeping in mind that too much leavener will leave a chemical/bitter taste. 4 teaspoons of baking powder is the magic amount to give these muffins their overflowing tops and they are anything but bitter.
I do not know how to adequately make this master muffin mix gluten free.
I love adding cinnamon to the muffin batter. If cinnamon is not your thing, you may leave it out but keep in mind – you'll lose flavor. My Banana Nut Muffins use more cinnamon than the others, and my chocolate chip version uses a little nutmeg. Gives them a little something extra! Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg to the other recipes as well.
Don't Skip the Oil
I use oil as the fat in my master muffin batter. As far as baked goods go, fat is a good thing! Oil is what will give your muffins their tender, melt-in-your-mouth centers. Butter is a fat typically used in muffin recipes, but I use oil in this master batter because it leaves the muffins much more moist. Since there are so many flavors in each bite (banana, berry, chocolate – depending on which variety you make), you won't really miss the taste of butter.
For my banana nut version, I added mashed bananas. Because of this added wet ingredient, I left out a bit of oil. Still keeping the same tender, moist texture but giving the muffins their signature banana flavor. The rest of my master muffin mix varieties use 1/2 cup of oil. Feel free to use melted coconut oil or vegetable oil instead of the canola oil called for. One thing to note: I do not suggest using a lower fat option. See all of my healthier muffin options instead.
The Purpose of Eggs
Moisture, richness, tenderness, binding the batter, texture. They have heavy lifting power in this recipe; don't leave them out! Use standard large, room temperature eggs.
Why room temperature? Room temperature eggs incorporate evenly into your batter – guaranteeing a uniform structure among every corner of every muffin.
{pictured: Banana Nut Muffins, recipe below}
Playing Around with the Sugar
My master muffin batter requires 1 cup of sugar. Depending on the add-ins I'm using, I change up the sugar. When making my Banana Nut Muffins, I used mostly all brown sugar. Brown sugar + bananas = good. I also sprinkle the tops with extra brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and thinly sliced bananas. You'll love it.
When making my Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Muffins, I use all granulated sugar. No reason in particular, it's just how I first developed the recipe. I have since made them with 1/2 cup brown and 1/2 cup granulated. The little molasses undertone works so well with the chocolate and nutmeg. Try it!
For all of my master muffin batter recipes, as long as you use 1 cup of sugar total – you may play around with the quantity of brown sugar vs granulated sugar. I do not suggest using unrefined, fake, or liquid sweeteners. See all of my lower sugar muffin options instead.
{pictured: Banana Nut Muffins, recipe below}
Playing Around with the Milk
My master muffin batter requires 1 cup of milk. When I first developed the recipe last year, I used 1% milk. However, I've started using buttermilk instead these days. The resulting muffin is so moist! When I use buttermilk in recipes, I find a noticeable difference in texture than when I use other milks. For example, when I make quick bread, I find the crumb is more tender and moist than the same recipe using regular milk. And the loaf even slices better – it's not crumbly at all.
The same goes for my master muffin batter. I prefer it with buttermilk!

Two Additional Muffin Tips
- Something helpful to remember when making my muffins: mix the wet ingredients as much as you like, mix the dry ingredients as much as you like but when you combine the two together, only mix until they combine. If you overmix the wet with the dry, your muffins will be heavy, tough, and dense. Remember: when it comes to mixing muffin batter together, a little goes a long way.
- The trick to baking the muffins so tall? It's something I do with most of my muffin recipes. Here's my secret: Fill your muffin pans all the way to the top. This trick only works if you set the initial oven temperature high, then lower it as the muffins bake. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425F degrees, then at 375F degrees for the remaining time. Setting the oven to a "high temperature burst" lifts the muffin top up quickly and creates a tall crust. That is why you fill the muffin pans to the top with the batter prior to baking.
Enough talk! Let's bake some breakfast.
Here is the mix written out, and below are two new recipes using the mix.
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (very careful not to overmeasure)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
- ½ cup (120ml) canola or vegetable oil
- 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Here are two new muffin recipes for you using my master muffin mix: ultra moist, lightly banana-flavored, brown sugar/cinnamon/nut muffins. Yeah, they're big on flavor. And gorgeous, sugar-sprinkled mixed berry muffins. Exploding with juicy berries in every bite!
Master Muffin Mix
1 muffin mix, endless options. See below for a few more ideas!
Yield: 6-7 jumbo, 15 standard, 30 mini
Banana Nut Muffins
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (very careful not to overmeasure)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, divided
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) milk, at room temperature*
- 1/3 cup (80ml) canola oil*
- 3/4 cup mashed banana (2 small, very ripe bananas)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (140g) chopped walnuts or pecans, divided
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced banana for topping
Very Berry Muffins
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (very careful not to overmeasure)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) milk, at room temperature*
- ½ cup (120ml) canola oil*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340g) mixed berries, fresh or frozen (not thawed)
- coarse sugar for sprinkling on top
Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray jumbo muffin pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
For the Banana Nut Muffins: In a large bowl, gently toss together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until all dry ingredients are combined - a 20 second toss to disburse everything together. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in milk, oil, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Mixture will be pale and yellow. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix everything together by hand. *Avoid over-mixing,* which will produce tough, dense muffins. Gently mix until all the flour is off the bottom of the bowl and no big pockets of flour remain. The batter will be extremely thick and somewhat lumpy. Fold in 3/4 cup chopped nuts.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling all the way to the top. Mix together remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup chopped nuts. Sprinkle evenly over the tops of the muffin batter. Finish with a couple thin slices of banana, as shown in the photo above. These streusel toppings add SO much flavor to the muffins. Bake muffins at 425F degrees for 5 minutes. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce oven temperature to 375F and continue to bake for 25-26 minutes until tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Muffins taste best fresh the same day. Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Muffins freeze well, up to 3 months.

Gently mix until all the flour is off the bottom of the bowl and no big pockets of flour remain. The batter will be extremely thick and somewhat lumpy. Very gently to avoid them from leaking their color, fold in 1 and 3/4 cups mixed berries.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling all the way to the top. Using 1/4 cup of the berries you have leftover, press a few into the tops of each muffin. See photo of what my muffins looked like before going into the oven above. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 425F degrees for 5 minutes. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce oven temperature to 375F and continue to bake for 25-26 minutes until tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Muffins taste best fresh the same day. Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Muffins freeze well, up to 3 months.
*For 15-16 standard size muffins, reduce baking time to 18-19 total minutes: 5 initial minutes at the 425F and 13-14 minutes at 375F. For 30 mini muffins, bake for 11-12 minutes at 375F the entire time.
*I prefer buttermilk as the milk of choice for the moistest texture. Regular milk, dairy or non, would be OK. But keep in mind that the moistest texture comes from buttermilk.
*Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil may be used intend of canola oil.

Hello! I looooovee your recipes. I made you raspberry chocolate chip muffins earlier this week for my class and they are by far the best muffins I have ever had. My class loved them. My friend's mom just died earlier this week, and I asked her what was her favorite type of muffin and she said she doesn't really like fruity stuff but loves cinnamon. Do you know what I should add to your all powerful muffin mix to make the best cinnamon muffins ever? I'm hoping to get them to her within the week. Thank you for your recipes (:
Thanks for this great recipe! I made them tonight and want to be sure I made them correctly, as I'm a novice baker. Love the idea of starting at a higher temp!
My batter was not very thick. Not like in your picture. I used reduced fat buttermilk only because that's all my grocery store had. I used 2 t. vanilla instead of one. Not sure what I did wrong. Could the extra vanilla make it that much more runnier? (It kind of reminded me of cake batter but a tiny bit thicker). The taste was great! The outsides were a bit crispy (which I like) but maybe I could cut down the cooking time a minute or two because the inside was a bit dryer. Could that be because of the reduced fat buttermilk?
My main concern was how many muffins it made. I used a standard muffin pan but could not fill all of them to the top, so I only came up with about 8 full muffins and the other 4, I could only fill half-way. Not sure why.
I would welcome any tips you have, as I really want to learn to make them right. This is the best homemade recipe I've tried so far, but perhaps my skills need a little tweaking.
I'm new to your site, and everything I've made so far is fantastic. These are amazing, especially the high-temp method to get them to rise really high. I used a pint of berries and about 4 oz of goat cheese, and cut way back on the cinnamon and up on the salt, to mimic some from my favorite bakery. I highly recommend it. Also, I didn't have buttermilk, so I used about 1/4 cup sour cream and 3/4 cup milk. Can't wait for summer, to try peaches!
Yum… I made the blueberry muffins today with some substitutions to make them vegan-ish:
-1 cup of almond milk with 1 tspn apple cider vinegar (to curdle for a buttermilk effect) instead of dairy
-2 tbsp applesauce in place of 2 large eggs
-1/2 cup of honey in place of brown sugar
Turned out very well, especially with the 5 minute extra hot pre-bake.
I was planning on making your Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel, but when I got home from work today, my mom had tossed out my ripe bananas! So instead i turned to your master recipe and made choc chip muffins, layering in the cinnamon streusel from the other recipe. they look gorgeous and I can't wait to share them at work tomorrow!
Hi Sally! I've gotta say, as a novice baker, I love your site for all its explanations and gorgeous pictures.
I first stumbled upon your bakery style chocolate chip muffins and they were a hit on my first try! Except that I stored them in the fridge, which might have turned them a little hard. Any advice on this?
I'm thinking of baking them again this weekend, along with a batch of banana muffins! However, I will need the banana muffins to be free from lactose – is there anything I can substitute the milk with?
Thank you in advance!
I made a batch of these, but split the batter into two sections (3 jumbo muffins per section). I did not have any buttermilk so I used 1% milk and a tbs of lime juice. The first section got cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon (maybe 1/2 or 1 tsp each) and fresh diced peaches. The batter got a little runny (the peaches were reaally juicy!) so I added some additional flour and a little oatmeal. The second batch got mini chocolate chips and frozen blueberries. They did fine with consistency. They baked like a dream. Really simple. Thanks for the great recipe!!!
Edit to add that the blueberry ones took 4 or 5 minutes extra baking time. I think because they had frozen berries.
Hi Sally! I love your recipes and how detailed you write; I know what to expect when I'm trying out the recipes. I've been looking for a nice banana muffin recipe and yours seems to be just what I'm looking for. One problem: I don't want any nuts in the muffin. How would it result if I omitted adding the 3/4 cup of nuts?
Hi Sally!
I've got 2 large bananas in my freezer waiting to be made into muffins…but I wanted to also add in rolled oats and dessicated coconut.
would you suggest i follow your banana nut recipe and substitute the nuts for oats and coconut or will I require more liquid for the oats?
Thank you!!
Gosh, thank you so very much for these recipes I can't wait to make the Banana Nut Muffins this morning. So many blogs go on at ad nauseum about everything except the recipe I tuned in for. I appreciate the hints, tips and suggestions that you have included, they will be very helpful. I will be back when I'm through baking to see what other goodies you have to offer.
Hi Sally!
LOVED your muffin recipe. Made them this morning and my kiddos loved them. I followed everything to a t, but found that my muffins didn't raise "up" but a little more out. Not sure what I did wrong? My muffins always do that! I did change up the recipe a bit and added a little bit of oats/brown sugar/flour/butter to the top before baking and then added the caramel….heaven with a bit of a crunch!
Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be using this one again…and again!
Thanks so much for this awesome muffin base. I've just made the banana nut version gluten free and they were perfect. I substituted the all purpose flour for white wings brand plain GF flour plus an extra heaped tablespoon of flour. I didn't bother with gums or extra starches, the buttermilk did a superb job of holding it all together. My GF family loved them and my non GF friends couldn't tell they were GF!
These muffins are awesome! I love the way they rise, and the texture is wonderful – light and fluffy. The flavor is really pleasing as well. I used standard muffin tins and doubled the recipe and there was a perfect amount. I made the apple version, but I can tell the basic mix will be really conducive to so many different flavor combinations. I like to freeze muffins individually to pull out for a snack or breakfast one at a time for my daughter. So, this will be my go to recipe to keep the freezer stocked with different kinds of muffins. Really well done recipe, Thanks!
I have to say I have become addicted to your site. I have made your muffins several times now and they have always been a huge success. The last two times tho, for some reason I have only had enough for twelve regular muffins rather than the fifteen or sixteen. Not an issue, and most likely a problem on my measuring end(I sometimes tend to eyeball things like berries if I only have what I have so it doesn't matter any way!). Is that most likely my problem? Again, not really a problem, they turn out delicious, and my family and friends rave about them…..I'm just curious about what I'm doing wrong.
These muffins are SO yummy! I used a mixture of almond flour, brown rice flour, and buckwheat flour instead of all-purpose to make the muffins gluten free. Then I divided the batter in half and added peaches to one half, and chocolate chips to the other half. They came out beautifully and taste delicious! Thanks, Sally!
THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for a good all around muffin recipe and this is it! Made the Very Berry mini muffins this morning for my kiddo and he loved them. They rose nicely at 375 and made more than 30 muffins…probably closer to 36-40. Will keep this as my go to recipe for the next time!!!
Made the banana muffins without the nuts but added chocolate chips. Amazing. My new goto mix. Can't wait to try adding other stuff.
I haven't poked around your site much, but do you have a teak to make these into pumpkin flavor for the holiday season?
HI–I just made this recipe this morning with pumpkin instead of banana….YUM!!! I simply substituted the canned pumpkin for the 3/4 cup of banana…..everything else just like the recipe……came out perfect!! I love this master recipe….I'm definitely addicted to Sally's Baking Addiction!!!!
Dear Sally!
First of all I want to say thank you – all the recepies I have tried have been amazing. I swear I have made 20 patches of pumpkin spice muffins. Last night I felt baking Very Berry Muffins and I have to say that that are the best muffins I have ever baked in my entire life and I love the fact that you are very detailed with your recepies so a novice like me can get some background about the science behind it and use the knowledge to get creative.
Keep up the amazing job and I can't wait to start trying out the banana bread series.
Oh my, my family will be very well feed this winter/Christmas season
All of the recipes have been on point and have yielded excellent results! Thank you very much for not only the recipes, but the explanations, as well. I do have a question, though. I've been looking for a delicious double chocolate muffin. How would you suggest altering the master recipe? Thank You!

But what's remarkable is how sharp Will & Grace was right out of the gay -- um, gate. Though some one-liners now seem a bit dated (''Shake it, Puff Daddy!''), the majority of the homo humor is as fresh today as it was five years ago (a botox joke in 1999?), and the future Emmy-winning sitcom exhibits the confidence of a show that knows it's onto something memorable. it's especially fun to see Molly Shannon's debut guest spot as Will and Grace's catfighting neighbor. Still, a boxed set of a series easily found in syndication demands fabulous extras, and here's where this release drops the soap. We get lifeless cast and crew interviews, but not a single outtake? as Karen would say disapprovingly, ''Oh, honey!''

"One thing that is the same for all women in engineering is the need to balance career and personal life. This becomes especially tricky if you are a mother who is ambitious. [...] That being said, I feel like women have to play the balancing act of work and home more than their male counterparts."
I disagree with that. My observations show that for fathers there is normally no option to "balance". You still have a strong role-model kind of view. One result is, that it is hard for men to work part time, especially as engineers (Some years ago company ABB was ranked the worst family-friendly company in switzerland...)
How many electronics engineers do you know, who work part time (eg. 80%), to have a free day to spend with the kids?
How many fathers you know, who would like to have more time to spend with there kids?
"If a man works extra hours for his job to move up the corporate ladder, he is praised for providing for his family. If a woman works extra hours and travels a lot for her job, she is often thought to be deserting her family."
Thats exactely the bad role model. Men who "only bring money home" are as bad. As a child you need the relationship to your father too.
The problem men face is the same as women, when you work some few years part time to rise your children, you risk your posibilities in your career. This has to be changed, because it's absolutely no drawback to be good parents.

Inequities in skills attainment, achievement gaps among ethnicities, and a disconnect between classroom learning and the everyday lives and interests of young people are troubling trends that signify the need for a new framework of learning, according to a report released by the Connected Learning Research Network. The report proposes a framework for learning called "connected learning", which seeks to address inequity in education, engender 21st century skills and literacies in all youth, and attune to the learning possibilities of a networked society. The researchers state that such a model would take advantage of the Internet and digital technology, helping to close the gap between the "no-frills" learning that too often happens in school and the interactive, hands-on learning that takes place out of school.

Say Anything interview: 'I have a limitless palette to work with right now'
Pop-punk songwriter Max Bemis trades guitars for strings on a new album
Thu Jun 26 2014
CommentsAdd +
Photograph: Neil Visel
From the angelic organ run that opens Say Anything's sixth album, Hebrews, it's clear that something has changed in Max Bemis, the sole permanent member of the eccentric, uncommonly brilliant pop-punk band. Guitars, for one, are out, replaced with strings, keyboards, horns and other instruments more typical of a Broadway pit band.
It was Tim O'Heir, the producer of the band's 2012 record, Anarchy, My Dear, who suggested the idea of an orchestral album. "We do have this sort of musical-esque quality," says Bemis. "To fully embrace that and see what happens definitely turned me on."
What follows are a dozen songs that marry Bemis's angry, emotive, autobiographical words with arrangements heavy on cello and organ, and feature 16 guest singers, including members of Saves the Day, Blink-182 and Los Campesinos. There's still plenty of bile and Kanye-level takedowns ("American indie rock is a game of pricks," goes one Guided by Voices–referencing rant) but also tender, even respectful takes on parenthood, religion and tradition.
A noticeable shift occurs halfway through the album. Bemis and wife Sherri DuPree Bemis, a member of the band Eisley who sings on the record, had a daughter last spring in the midst of the writing, and on Hebrews, you can hear Bemis singing his way into parenthood, approaching it with fear, doubt and finally acceptance."I wrote most of the first half before she was born," says Bemis. "And then the second half after, and it was consciously done that way, so that I could tell the story."
Elaborate premises are nothing for Bemis: Say Anything's 2004 breakout LP, …Is a Real Boy—which tackled improbably heavy issues in a charmingly discursive, theatrical emo-punk format—was initially conceived of as a rock opera. Bemis has mentioned that he's open to revisiting the idea of a full-on stage show in the future, but his focus is on the current tour, as well as his Song Shop project, in which fans, hundreds at a time, commission custom tunes. The next record is percolating too, though he hasn't settled on a topic or approach. "I haven't really come to any conclusions, but I know it's going to be fun, because I have sort of a limitless palette to work with right now." Hebrews, the latest in a series of wildly ambitious Bemis dispatches, proves his point.
Say Anything plays Best Buy Theater on Sat 28.

It's a sort of violent, twitch-shooting, wall-dodging, gib-splattering joy but I take what I can get. Development continues apace, though naturally not nearly as fast as I'd like, with weekly livestreamed updates. There's new builds of the game every Friday and still radical changes being made to even the most basic systems of movement, shooting and aiming. These builds are now officially available to all (as opposed to the community hosted jerry-rigging I last reported on) though still "non-representative pre-alpha" to use Epic's phraseology.

Please Pass this on!!! Bedier is a hateful creep ahmedbedier.com
This CREEP Ahmed Bedier is SLAMMING Allen West. He stole my video of Allen West speaking at Pamela Geller's CPAC event in 2010 to harm his re-election. You Tube honored my copyright and took it down. He now has it up at Facebook. I hope LOTS of you can go on his Facebook and challenge his mis-use on the Honorable Allen West's fabulous speech. It's way too complicated trying to get facebook's copyright infringement form

He put this up at You Tube Three times and each time I got it taken down…so now …he's switched to Face Book.

Benghazi Investigator Slams America and 'Islamophobes'
November 2, 2012 By Matthew Vadum
America is a seething hotbed of "Islamophobia," filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the benign Muslim religion, according to the Obama administration's lead investigator into the Benghazi atrocities.
So said former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering in more polished, diplomatic language during an Oct. 23 panel discussion at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The talk was on "what role the faith community can play in fighting Islamophobia," a make-believe mental illness that Islamists would love to have listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Radical Islam's stateside defenders frequently accuse anti-terrorism hawks of "McCarthyism," hurling the epithet "Islamophobe" the same way American leftists use the word "racist" to shut down debate.
Pickering's pontifications came two and a half weeks after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton named him to head a State Department "Accountability Review Board" tasked with examining the circumstances surrounding the deaths on Sept. 11, 2012, the 11th anniversary of 9/11, of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith, and security personnel Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.
lots more, read it all+4
I sent him a message that I reported him and then called him an islamophile.
Allen West is awesome. That is some of the best footage on the subject that I have ever seen.
What is all the outrage for? I don't get it.+7
Islam IS the enemy. So what's the problem?+8
You can click on the Facebook link to "report the video." Once there, you can claim it as your "intellectual property."+5
What White Punk said. Ahmed Bedier is an idiot if he thinks that video is anything but a resume-enhancement.+6
Ahmed, short of mohammad+4
Islam is the enemy. What doesn't anyone understand?+5
A feather in the good colonel's cap if you ask me.+3
Sent message.+3
if nothing else, Pamela Hall is enormously helpful Pamela Geller and takes tons of pix and prolly over a hundred hrs of video for Spencer/Geller/SION/AFDI+2

The Apollo program, which put 12 astronauts on the Moon between July 1969 and December 1972, was the highlight of human exploration of space to date. Since that time, no one has ventured beyond low Earth orbit.
Apollo required the efforts of nearly a half million people, and cost the equivalent of $120 billion in 2000 U.S. currency. The best of America's technical ability was put to work to get Apollo to the Moon, but help came from outside the United States. As is well known, a group of German rocketeers that immigrated to the U.S. after World War II spearheaded the design and construction of the Saturn rockets that powered Apollo.
Canadians also played an important role in Apollo. When the Canadian government cancelled the CF-105 Avro Arrow program in 1959, the U.S. space agency NASA hired 32 engineers from Avro Canada. While many of these engineers came from the United Kingdom, the 12 Canadian engineers in this group went on to play key roles in Apollo and in the earlier Mercury and Gemini programs.
Jim Chamberlin, the leader of the Avro group, made major contributions to the U.S. Moon effort. Chamberlin was head of engineering in the Mercury Program, and then designed the Gemini spacecraft and served as Gemini's first program manager. He also played a key role in deciding how Apollo would go to the Moon, and he served as an engineering troubleshooter for Apollo. Chamberlin was born in Kamloops B.C. and raised in Toronto.
Owen Maynard, a native of Sarnia, Ontario, was head of systems engineering in the Apollo Spacecraft Program Office. Maynard was the first person in NASA to start design work on the lunar module, and as head of systems engineering, he was responsible for integration and coordination of various spacecraft systems. He also drew up the plan of missions leading up to the first lunar landing on Apollo 11.
Bryan Erb played a key role in developing Apollo's heat shield, and his contributions to the U.S. and Canadian space programs continue up to today's International space station. Robert Vale helped design the lunar surface experiments package that the Apollo astronauts set up at their landing sites, and Leonard Packham helped develop communications for Apollo.
Two physicians from Canada, Dr. Owen Coons and Dr. Bill Carpentier, provided medical services for the Apollo astronauts, and Dr. Carpentier carried out the first medical examination on the Apollo 11 crew when they returned to Earth.
Six lunar modules, starting with Apollo 11's Eagle, landed on the Moon using legs that were made by Héroux Machine Parts Ltd. of Longueuil, Québec. These legs were left behind on the Moon with the descent stages of the lunar modules.
The crews of Apollos 15, 16 and 17 came to Canada for geological training before they landed on the Moon. Canadian geologists played important roles in the research done on the lunar samples brought back to Earth by the Apollo astronauts.
These stories are told in Chris Gainor's books Arrows to the Moon and Canada in Space: The People and Stories Behind Canada's Role in the Exploration of Space.
Apollo officially began in 1961 when President John F. Kennedy set a national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" during the 1960s. Unlike many presidential initiatives, Apollo won the support of the U.S. Congress and the American public because of widespread concern that the U.S. was behind the Soviet Union in the space race, then a crucial competition in the Cold War.
By the time Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969, public and political support had faded for a number of reasons. One of them was the perception that the Soviet Union had dropped out of the Moon race long before Apollo 11. This perception was wrong. In the 1990s after the fall of the Soviet state, Russian archives were opened to reveal that a vigorous Soviet Moon program had competed with Apollo. But the N-1 rocket, which was as big as the American Saturn V, failed on all four launch attempts. The Soviets, and U.S. intelligence, kept the existence of the N-1 and the Soviet Moon program secret for more than two decades.
Apollo was created to compete with the Soviets, and not to advance science. But NASA did work to involve scientists in Apollo, and the later Apollo Moon landings were dedicated to science. In the end, Apollo made major contributions to science, but few people know about them.
The initial findings from the lunar rocks and soil brought home by the astronauts puzzled scientists. It seemed that Apollo had raised more questions than it had answered. The existing theories about the origin of the Moon didn't match the findings of Apollo, and it wasn't until 1984 that scientists began to agree about how the Moon was formed. It took another 10 years for that agreement to become known outside scientific circles.
The Moon, it turns out, was created when a Mars-sized object struck the Earth early in its history. This collision was one of many that rocked the Earth and the Moon early in their existence. The lunar samples helped reveal many things about the origins of the Earth and the Moon, and helped convince scientists that impacts have played a major role in the history of the Earth. For example, Apollo's results were one clue in the trail of evidence that led scientists to conclude that the impact of a giant body wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. And now many people are aware that asteroids and comets continue to pose a danger to life on Earth because of the potential of impact.
The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal is the most thorough resource available on Apollo. Here you can find complete transcripts, photos and films from Apollo's six lunar landings. The Contact Light/Project Apollo Archive website is another great source for information about Apollo.
Mark Wade's Encyclopedia Astronautica is the place to go for information on the Soviet Moon program, and is a great source of information on the world's space programs, past and present.
For information on Apollo's legacy to science, check out The Origin of the Moon website.

Short Takes
According to the Times-Picayune, CORNBREAD NATION 6 is full of diverse pieces, while still staying true to the South. "Some of Anderson's selections focus on the near-fetishistic passion for local food that's currently trending in the new hipster South. Others are paeans to regional low-culture delicacies. Cheerwine, the Dr Pepperish Carolinian soda, appears as the subject of a poem and as a braise for short ribs. Processed cheese in Tex-Mex queso is referred to as 'mother's milk' more than twice."
Mark Auslander, author of THE ACCIDENTAL SLAVEOWNER, will be speaking at the Cyclorama in Atlanta on July 22nd as part of the annual BATL event commemorating the Battle of Atlanta.

The BATL author events are sponsored by the Georgia Humanities Council, The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, The Dekalb History Center and The City of Atlanta with host partners Bound To Be Read Books and Friends of East Atlanta Library.
Weld for Birmingham features an interview with Harvey H. Jackson III about his book, THE RISE AND DECLINE OF THE REDNECK RIVIERA.
You obviously have a lot of love for this part of the world. What would be your blueprint for a perfect day on the Redneck Riviera?
Offhand, I can't recall a bad one. Y'know, get up. Walk down on the beach, throw the tennis ball with my dog, watch Libby the Lab run free. Pick up after her, then come back up here, eat some breakfast. Go back down, sit around, read till it gets too hot. Come back up, eat some lunch, take a nap. Go up on the deck, have a gin and tonic, watch the sun set and, if they're having a concert at Seaside, sit on my deck and listen to the music.
This is the funny thing about writing a book on this place. I've spent a lot of time down here in the last 25 years, working on articles and essays, and I write a column for The Anniston Star. A lot of it's had to do with this. Here I was in the history department at Jacksonville State. I have a colleague who's a French historian; he says, I'm going to France to do research this summer. Nobody blinks an eye. I have a colleague who's a German historian. He says, I'm going to Berlin for the summer, and no one says a word. I say, "I'm going down to Panama City to do research," and they say, "Yeah, right."Charles Seabrook explains the story behind THE WORLD OF THE SALT MARSH for a recent article in the Charleston City Paper. On writing an accessible book for a general audience: "'You try to keep it simple, but at the same time you're trying to give them a science lesson without them actually knowing they've had a science lesson,' he adds. 'You've got to make it entertaining, but you don't want to lose any of the accuracy or scientific importance of it.'"

The University of Georgia Press Returns to Campus
This summer brings significant changes to the University of
Georgia Press.
As of late June, the Press is now located on the University of Georgia Campus. The new address is Main Library, Third Floor, 320 South Jackson Street, Athens, GA, 30602. While individual email addresses have remained the same, all phone and fax numbers have changed. For current contact information, please visit our website.
This move allows the Press to return to campus after spending nearly 20 years at the off-site Oakbrook Corporate Campus. The Press's space in the Main Library became available when the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library—including University Archives, the Richard B. Russell Jr. Library for Political Research and Studies, and the Walter J. Brown Media Archives and Peabody Collection—moved into the new Richard B. Russell Jr. Special Collections Libraries Building.
"As the University of Georgia Press prepares to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2013, our move to the Main Library in the heart of campus, nearer to faculty, staff, students, and friends, seems most fitting. Too, sharing space with our library colleagues makes possible mutually beneficial exchanges about the changing world of scholarly communications," said Lisa Bayer, new director of the UGA Press as of July 1.
Since its founding in 1938, the primary mission of the University of Georgia Press has been to support and enhance the University's place as a major research institution by publishing outstanding works of scholarship and literature by scholars and writers throughout the world.
The Press is the only scholarly publisher within the University System of Georgia. A full member of the Association of American University Presses since 1940, the Press is also the oldest and largest book publisher in the state. With a full-time staff of 24 publishing professionals, the Press currently publishes 75-80 new books a year and has 1000 titles in print.
In 2008 the Press received the Governor's Award in the Humanities "for enriching the life of the humanities through a distinguished record of publications, for serving as an important resource to libraries and other community discussion groups, and for building partnerships that contribute to enlightened communities of readers in Georgia and the nation."

Keats and Ellen meet in a strange village called Doolin under unusual circumstances. Keats is a reporter for a third-rate occult magazine and is called to meet a woman who turns up dead, while Ellen's long-lost mother calls asking to meet up.

Only power walk if you're grinding up some gnarly hills. Otherwise, run easy as if it were any other standard long run.
If possible, run outside for an hour or so and then hit your treadmill with some power walking at 12-15% for 30-90 minutes. Follow that with an hour or so outside again. If you don't have a treadmill, run to the gym and do the same. If the gym isn't within running distance, drive there and run from the gym and do the same thing.
Basically, it would be great to get used to a combo of running and walking in a long workout because, unless you're an elite runner, you're going to be doing a lot of walking for PP. However, if you don't have good hills in your area, just run long as usual and include some treadmill walking. If you do have good hills, hike the hell out of those inclines, bomb the declines, and run steady and easy on the flats.

The Airtightness Testers' Association (ATA) represents individuals registered by The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) to carry out air tightness tests in the UK. Testing is carried out in accordance with the relevant building regulations; Part L1 in England and Wales, Section 6 in Scotland and Part F1 in Northern Ireland.
The association was formed at the start of 2012; membership is open to all airtightness testers and anyone interested in the air tightness testing industry can join as an associate member.
Airtightness testing is a new industry and the ATA are fully involved in how air tightness testing will be carried out in the future. To develop a robust future we need the support and input from all testers so please forward your ideas or complaints to us.
A committee has been formed to provide direction and participation in various industry sector meetings.
News 5th Sept 2014

News 16th July 2014
National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Air Tightness Testing
The Building Futures Group has been asked by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to develop a set of National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Air Tightness Testing Functions.
The NOS will be incorporated into a Minimum Technical Competence statement similar to many that currently exist for other technical areas such as electrical installation. The NOS can also be used to inform training programmes and could form the basis of a qualification should that prove to be viable.
There are currently 9 draft NOS standards covering the functions performed in air tightness testing. Not all of these will be performed by one person and certain activities, such as calculating the area of building envelopes or ensuring calibration of equipment, might be performed by different people within an organisation. Individuals will be able to select an appropriate number of NOS to best reflect their work role.
For more information and to participate in the consultation please click on this link: http://www.thebuildingfuturesgroup.com/sector-skills-council/national-occupational-standards/air-tightness-testing-nos/

Letter to President Bush Regarding ACP-ASIM Efforts
February 13, 2001
The Honorable George W. Bush
President of the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Bush:
The American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine (ACP-ASIM) urges you to include a refundable tax credit for the uninsured in the FY 2002 budget that you will submit to Congress. The College developed its own specific recommendations for a tax credit for the uninsured and also supported bipartisan legislation introduced by Senator Jeffords (S.2320) and House Majority Leader Armey (H.R. 4113) in the last Congress. ACP-ASIM is the largest medical specialty society in the country and the second largest physician group. Membership comprises more than 115,000 physicians who specialize in internal medicine and medical students.
The College strongly supports the use of tax credits to bring health insurance within the financial reach of at least a portion of the nearly 43 million uninsured Americans. Recent studies by ACP-ASIM present strong evidence that the lack of health insurance is a serious health risk. The first in the series is an overview report called No Health Insurance: It's Enough to Make You Sick and the second specifically addresses the health impact of being uninsured in the Latino population. A third report will be released in mid-March that addresses this hidden epidemic in women. These studies are available on our web site ("http://www.acponline.org").
Many of the elements of the ACP-ASIM tax credit proposal are consistent with Senator Jeffords' and Rep. Armey's bills of the last Congress. With the support you expressed during the 2000 campaign for a tax credit for the uninsured, the College is greatly encouraged that the final tax bill will contain some strong provisions to help mostly working families. The following are the elements that we consider most important:
- Tax credits should be targeted to lower-to-moderate income Americans. This will keep the federal cost within a range that is prudent and enactable.
- The premium support should be substantial enough to make the purchase of insurance realistic for the targeted group.
- Tax credits should be refundable so that premium payments can be made when they are due, rather than at the end of the year.
- The structure of the tax credit should be compatible with existing programs such as CHIP and Medicaid to avoid unintended gaps in coverage or barriers to enrolling in public or private health plans.
- Tax credits should not be available to those who have employer-provided health insurance.
The College appreciates your support of a refundable tax credit for the uninsured. We look forward to working with your administration and members of Congress to develop a proposal that can receive bipartisan support and make a meaningful contribution to the lives of uninsured Americans. Please call the ACP-ASIM Washington Office if we can assist in any way.
Sandra Adamson Fryhofer, MD, FACP

Lewis Hamilton reckons winning Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix is a possibility after he qualified third for the prestigious race.
The McLaren driver has already claimed one victory around the streets of the Principality when he beat Robert Kubica to the win back in 2008.
Since then the Brit has failed to shine or even reach the podium with his best results over the next three seasons being a P5.
This year, though, Hamilton believes victory could be on the cards although he admits it won't be easy beating Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg, the two drivers starting in front of him.
"Anything is possible," the 27-year-old told Sky Sports F1.
"It's going to be so tough with the two guys ahead, they are very quick, and (I'm) very, very fortunate that Michael has his penalty.
"But he did a great job today and it was great actually to see Michael performing so well.
"I have no idea how tomorrow's going to go. I hope the weather stays good but if it rains a little I'll be grateful for it."
As for his performance in qualifying, Hamilton clocked a 1:14.583 to bring his car home in fourth place.
However, he was immediately elevated to third as Saturday's pace-setter, Michael Schumacher, had a grid penalty that dropped him to sixth.
"Very happy," said Hamilton. "Just happy that I improved every time I went out and really got everything from the car I possibly could.
"I had a nice little near miss on my first run in Q3, but qualifying is so much fun. I've been enjoying it so much this year. You go out in Q1 and you don't push 100 percent, here particularly, and then Q2 a little bit more and then Q3 (you push) flat out.
"Just everything you can, even if it means you're going to crash, you have just got to push everything you can to just get that one millisecond and that's what I love about it."

Assumption donates AED to fire company
Written by Staff Reports Thursday, March 22, 2012 12:32 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
The students, along with the AtlantiCare Heart Institute Heart Heroes, presented an automated external defibrillator to representatives of the Bayview Volunteer Fire Company.
AtlantiCare then surprised the students with an AED for the school.
Each month the students do a civic activity aimed at helping others in their community. The students held a Ravishing Red Day Feb. 2 as part of the school's observance of Catholic Schools Week.
Students contributed $2 each to wear red for the day instead of their school uniform colors of blue and white. Faculty contributed $5 each and wore red in support of the effort. The students raised more than $800, $600 of which they gave to the Heart Heroes for the AED.
Assumption Advancement Director Cathryn Flammer knew the fire company needed an AED, and reached out to AtlantiCare after reading about other AED donations
Dr. Patrick O'Beirne, a cardiologist and father of Assumption first-grader Emma O'Beirne, spoke with the children about the importance of getting help fast for a heart attack.
"If you think someone is having a heart attack, dial 911," he said. "Having an AED and people who are trained to use it is especially helpful because they can use the AED before professional help arrives."
Principal Mary Ellen Schurtz expressed her pride.
"We are so proud of our students who exemplify on a daily basis the meaning of service and community spirit," Schurtz said. "Their dedication, coupled with the tremendous opportunity to partner with a premier organization like AtlantiCare has enabled us to provide a vital piece of lifesaving equipment to our hero volunteers at the Bayview Volunteer Fire Company for the benefit of the entire community."
Joseph J. Picardi, Bayview safety officer who is also a certified CPR/AED instructor and is responsible for placement and maintenance of the companies' AEDs, said the fire company is very appreciative.
"We'll use the AED the students and ARMC's Heart Heroes have given us for our 102-foot ladder tower," Picardi said. "With this donation, all of our frontline apparatus will be equipped with AEDs. Since there are times when only one of our trucks responds to a call, this will ensure that there is always an AED present at the scene of an emergency or a training session."
It brings the total for the company to three; two engines and now the tower ladder have AEDs.
"This is very important because heart attacks account for over half of all firefighter fatalities," Picardi said. "Having an AED immediately available will give our personnel a better chance of survival should they suffer cardiac arrest. In addition, it will allow us to be better prepared to assist the public."
AtlantiCare representatives learned from Flammer that although the school had its own AED, it would soon need a new one because batteries were no longer available for the brand it had.
Karen Carlson, AtlantiCare clinical director of cardiovascular resources at the
"When it comes to a heart attack, getting help fast can be lifesaving," Carlson said. "We know in addition to the classes you have at Assumption, there are many events and activities that you hold. We hope you never have to use the AED - but your teachers will be trained and the school will be prepared if the need arises."

Got my BFP last night with a FRER test! We'd only been officially trying for 2 months. I'm sure that without the help of charting (FertilityFriend) I probably wouldn't be where I am now. DH and I have been married just over 2 years and it's our first pregnancy. It still feels very surreal, I have to keep going back and looking at the test to make sure I didn't imagine the line!
DH is happy and excited too. This morning we were snuggling in bed before we had to get up for the day and he said "I'm going to be a dad...I feel like I have a whole new purpose in life..."
Anyway, I'm so excited to join you ladies and look forward to learning from you as well as contributing to the board!
