Nice article and worthy of Economist.Cyrus Mistry has his task cut out as rightly said.But there are huge opportunities also as India's underdeveloped economy will certainly grow during the next few decades despite global concerns.Its also true that the acquisition made by Tata during 2007-8 have hurt.But Tatas have tremendous goodwill in India as it is still seen as a group which has a level of Corporate Governance, relatively honest and transparent which is lacking is most Indian conglomerates/companies.It is also seen as a company which treats its employees very well and does not exploit them.Good luck to Cyrus Mistry and hope that he will take the wonderful journey of Tatas forward and with that, India's.I am already invested in Tata Group companies and hope to add more.
As micro share holder in some of the "Tata Companies", I would like to thank Mr.Ratan Tata for all the guidance he gave during his tenure as the Chairman. Let me wish Mr. Cyrus Mistry , good and exciting time ahead and pray to God to bless him
A behemoth gets up and about in many years and takes much longer to go down. Scepticism about Tata Empire abounds by western prudence measures & yet from time to time this benevolence, which is somehow snided by Economist as well, has been the pivot for the group's success. Fortunately, Tata did not only invested in buying the backs but also invested in holding the hands that built what Tata enterprises represents today. No other Industrial Conglomerate even on a global scale can boast that; leave alone India. In most of the corporate India, including Tata, slowdown doesn't mean lay off or pruning, but an endured value of share albeit with modest expectations both ways. This cultural issue has worked well and despite global downturns few can complain that any Indian Business House has gone in for a massive job cuts, unlike in the West where even a whiff of downturn makes the HR team busy with knife and a chopping board and all is stressed figuring out whose neck is on the block. I personally hardly have any information about Mistry, but surely being associated with one of the pioneering & prominent construction firm for more than two decades and remaining out of the spotlight when the entire infrastructure sectors was in spotlight for devious deals speaks volumes about him. Being the largest single shareholder of Tata Sons also helps him. It doesn't mean that he is gunning for extra dividends, but has approached the deal with equanimity, maturity and depth it deserves. This decision is obviously not alone of Mr. Ratan Tata, but a lot of water had flown down the Board Room before this consensus decision emerged. To assume that Mistry is too small for Tata shoe is a misplaced thinking, he can just be a bird that just would like to fly out of the golden cage and just might explore newer horizons with new hope that makes the entire Tata clan see spanning its wing far and wider. And why not? The value assessment on ROI has been misplaced without considering the downturn and cyclical nature of some of the businesses, like steel & who is making money in steel today? None. Haven't we seen an ugly spat in France just a few days ago with one Indian origin business on manpower restructuring? At least Tata was not so brazen & that is what makes Tata so much more valuable. Maybe Mistry may take a few calls on asymmetrical businesses with consensus and let's not forget that hallow of Ratan would remain a beacon till his life for Mistry to become a truant child & let us also not forget that Tata Sons Board and its companies are also having its teeth to snap back at an ugly decision by Mistry. Tata may have a few plate but they are not bad enough that it is not palatable. Tata's have run their businesses on a certain ethic, principles and philosophy and not always on metrics alone. I am sure Mistry would surely fit into Ratan's shoe over time; and who knows, He adds much more than the sceptics are worried about, including The Economist. Time would tell & so would The Economist.
Now that Tata brand has passed into the hands of an Ireland national, should we be concerned about its role in India. Yet, I believe that the new incumbent at the helm is as sincere as others, who, to use Warren Buffet term, belong to the privileged lucky sperm strata. Millions of them from this stratum, many who show their own sense of belonging by displaying such obvious signs of piety by wearing the sacred thread on their wrists have to accept their responsibility towards creating a more egalitarian society in the midst of challenges thrown to such an endeavor by poverty in India.
I hope and pray that each one, whether in India or outside, questions the status quo so that a change can be ushered in and the society no longer remains feudal. A welcome change would be the rapid industrialization of the country, So capital and know how from all over the world should be welcomed.
Tata's are a well managed professional group.
They do India proud.
When Ratan Tata was mae head over the heads of veterans many predicted a downturn in TATA fortunes.
Cyrus will do well because he inherits a well designed system of management.
I do agree . TATA is an epitome of fine corporate management in India.
Mistry has BIG shoes to fill & a really hard act to follow. Good luck..
It would be difficult for Indian business industry to produce some one like Ratan Tata, who is still little known for his true personality and leadership that is rare to cultivate.
The great scion of tata companies known as JRD Tata has chosen this not so insider to lead the TATA flagship companies, over many others is not with out wisdom or deeper understanding of individuals that make exceptional leaders.
Both JRD and Ratan Tata are great example of India's long standing and successful business traditions, from whom many aspiring business leaders have a lot to learn and emulate.
Cyrus Mistry 's family ( Shapoorji Pallonji ) controlled two publicly listed companies Forbes And Co and Gokak Textiles have been under performers on the issues of true value unlocking and returns to share holders.
New Jack welch of India ?
Well daydreaming is not a crime !
What are the achievements of Mr.Mistry?
Mr.Mistry is an inexperienced & untested candidate !
This may be the beginning of downfall & disaster for the Tata empire !
The future of Tata empire looks bleak under the raw hands of Mr.Mistry !
Who was Jack Welch before he lifted a company of market cap of $14 billion to one giant of $500 billion? Who is Mr Mystery not to be just what Tata needs? You just don't know.
Well-researched article - particularly appreciate the attempt to consolidate figures of the largest listed companies from the Tata group and decent follow-up analysis. Keep up the good work.
India for the west is the horse against Chinese in the race.
India will be watched,analysed,given advice,despite its bulging inventory of Arms, discounted warfare gears which west is keen to sell.
French Aircrafts bought by India are no match for the Russian fighter planes which Pakistan has acquired.
Sadly,the economic cost to the Indian poors will sink the country to possible famine.
Amazing insights - French aircrafts of India and Russian fighters of Pakistan.
In the meanwhile, Pakistan can afford all the nuclear arsenal, the missiles, the fancy fighter aircraft from Russia and China....
...while Pakistan's flood victims, earth-quake victims, from ten years or twelve years ago, are all still living in leaky tents...
It will be nice for you if India disarms, while you stay armed.. of course, 'it figures' as they say in America, your 'frienemy'.
it is exceedingly rare to see a corporate groups espouse "nation building and employment generation" as it's guiding principle. I do not know of any other example. Though a free-market supporter by nature, i applaud all private philanthropy from my heart.
Another corporate group which espouses "nation building and employment" is Sahara whose core business is airlines. I call it the Gandhian approach which works in business. I believe Cyrus Mistry will divert too far from this guiding light and embrace Jack Welch approach. Time will see if prevails and I think he will. Remember, he is a Parsi: smart but benevolent.
Looks like Mr Mistry, is indeed Mr Mystery lol.
Your article in certain terms stinks of utter racism and inability to digest the fact that TATAs have successfully acquired several western companies. The lectures you gave here, better give those to western countries and ask the western stereotypical boss to take care of European economies first than TATAs. The core philosophy of the TATAs is simply just not to make profit and make the shareholders feel delighted.Their social work and contribution to India is beyond the comprehension of several western nations as is evident from this article. Nevertheless, in spite of the illogical logic of the mess in TATA u have given, TATA Group would survive and so would India. You rather keep ur lectures for the European countries who have sucked blood from the colonies like India for centuries but are now on the brink of collapse. Take care of Europe First. India would survive in any case, for it has proved the prophecies of Churchill wrong long time back when ur know all prime minister had claimed that India would not survive more than 10 years given its internal dissent and differences. We have survived and have celebrated our diversity even as your beloved Europe keep collapsing. Long Live the Queen and her stolen diamonds
Unnecessary patriotic vitriol. The article gave some good insights about the health of the TATA empire. Businesses should be seen from an investor's point of view and not from the angle that you have chosen.
@TEchCentral- If u really think that the TATAs need advice from Economist to take care of their issues and if you think that this article was an absolute neutral article then you can surely call my comment vitriolic...it doesnt matter....ur freedom of speech...
Mate, those are public companies. They get dissected and analysed by thousands of financiial analysts every week. It was an insightful article with some opinion given. I don't know about the author's experience or if it correct advice for an Indian company especially like that of Tatas but your reasoning was completely down a different path. I trust the Tatas, but i moved out of Tata Steel for exactly the reason given in this article.
seriously Passionate-Indian, I consider myself to be a patriotic Indian but even i don't feel the way u do. I find the article quite interesting and don't see where u can sniff racism in it. The article just stated facts, it's intention was never to debate the virtues or importance of TATA. I love what TATA has done for India and is continuing to do, but that doesn't mean i will turn a blind eyes to the troubles that might be there. Would rather try to and hope that TATA sons will be able to grow bigger, overcoming the current problems. Turning a blind eye doesn't make the problem disappear. We are humans let's be that way don't turn into an ostrich.
I agree. Sometime we Indian's get a bit carried away. Though at times(very few but still) The Economist has been a bit patronizing, I don't think there was anything wrong in the above article. The fact is that TATAs are losing money on Corus, but that just a business fact pointed out by TE.
Remember the point made in the essay about Corus and JLR employees - thousands of them? So, many British people are naturally interested in the health of Tata and Sons, who own these large British firms.
You may also agree that magazines comment with a view to kindle public's interest. The Economist, as you may know is read by many Indians too.
Individual readers are free to disagree with TE. What is more, on specific points, we are able to use this very forum provided by TE, to register our disagreement.
It costs to provide and administer this facility. We are getting it free, whether we are subscribers to the magazine or not!!
As the Indian Saying goes, "Do not count the teeth of the cow gifted to you (Gow Dhan) right in front of the person who has given the gift."
Tata need not take the advice of Westerners, much less some publication. However, it and many other Indian companies - whole industries, especially those involved in national infrastructure "nation-building" projects - need to consider the viability of the way they do business in India and the long-term effects.
There's nothing wrong with humility, whether by the powerful or by whole societies which have been shamed in recent history.
A short-sighted article! The author has terribly failed to understand the core business philosophy of Tata group, even though he quoted one of the division managers who tried to explain it to him. I don't have any shares or any other relation with Tata group. But as an Indian, I must say that it is one of the rarest corporate groups in India that hasn't fallen to the corruption channels or greedy capitalism! From a traditional business point of view, the author might be right that the group will have to sell many of its firms and fire employees to gain 'profitability'. But that's not the way the Tata group has worked so far! Just look at how they managed to turn around JLR, without firing anyone or without shutting down their plants in the UK. At the time of JLR acquisition, every business consultant told them that it was a wrong (and over priced) acquisition and that they had to fire employees/ shut down plants. But they managed to take all employees into full confidence and turn around the company (which is now giving substantial profits too) without moving the plants from the UK. THe simple point I wish to make is that closing down units or firing employees is not the 'only' solution for profitability in business. The better solution might be taking all employees into confidence and acting together like a family to overcome their crisis. Tata has shown that strength in the past and I truly hope that Misry will uphold this tradition while dealing with the currently loss making units (and do not fall into false advices as suggested by this article!).
The Tata group philanthropic initiatives are largely held by trusts that are funded by ways of dividend payout. If I'm right, one of the largest share of holdings is by such trusts.
If thats the case, I'm a bit perplexed as to why it would create a conflict between improving profitability and increasing their social/philanthropic footprints.
Ratan Tata' s insight combined with personal integrity and fierce independence has served the group very well even if an ill timed hubristic acquisition of Corus is proving to be a millstone. It is important that the superstar of the group TCS is not milked to fund the group's ambitions in telecom, hotel,etc that do not seem to give adequate returns. However status quo bias would indicate that nothing would change and the group would wait for the tide to turn.
We would appreciate if you kept deviant feelings of affection to yourself in the future.
That's not what Ratan Tata said. And not what your mother said, either.
We really don't need to know the details of what goes on between you and Mr Tata in the bedroom. So please just stop there.

REVIEW: Frank
I love this movie!!! It's a ridiculously funny satire about music artists who only want to create for the sake of creating- their last wish is to become popular. You know the kind. It's like the hipster who delights in discovering new music only to reject the music as soon as it becomes a hit.
Michael Fassbender is positively astonishing because til they every end of the movie, you don't even know it's the Oscar nominee- he's hiding under a giant paper machet head, using only his voice and body language. You'd swear the giant head changes expressions. He's that good.
Fassbender plays Frank, a mentally disturbed highly creative artist leading a group with an unpronounceable name. He's a perfectionist who spends a year with this group in a country house creating an album that's never finished. It's a group of misfit oddballs, including a droll Maggie Gyllenhaal as the keyboardist . Who knew she could sing??? !!! Who knew Fassbender could sing and play guitar? Not only do the actors perform their own music- the music is great!!!
Domhnall Gleeson , who had the lead in the time travel romancer "About Time" with Rachel McAdams, is at the center of the story as a wanna-be whose drive is bigger than his talent. He wrecks the balance of the group when he lands them a high profile gig at the SXSW festival in Austin.
There's so much of this movie to love. It's provocative and weird and ultimately touching. My kind of musical!!! What a gem.
4 stars

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for Snoring
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is a procedure used to remove excess tissue in the throat to widen the airway. This sometimes can allow air to move through the throat more easily when you breathe, reducing snoring. The tissues removed may include:
It takes about 3 weeks to recover from surgery. It may be very difficult to swallow during this time. Because of this, only 60% of those having the surgery say they would undergo it again.1
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is sometimes used to treat snoring in people so that their bed partner can sleep better. It is rarely used and only considered in cases of very severe snoring when other treatments have failed. It may be used in people who:
UPPP is often effective in reducing snoring initially. Over the long term, it cures snoring in 46% to 73% of those who have had this surgery.1
Complications during surgery include accidental damage to surrounding blood vessels or tissues.
Complications after surgery may include:
Surgery is rarely used to treat snoring. It may not completely cure snoring, and the risks of surgery may not be worth the small benefit you gain.
If you develop sleep apnea after having UPPP, diagnosis may be delayed because you do not snore. Snoring is the major symptom of sleep apnea.
Snoring is not always considered a medical problem, so insurance may not cover treatment.
Before considering surgery, all people who snore should try nonsurgical treatment.
Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty also may be used to treat snoring.

Gallery: Balance Associates' Sustainable Metal-Clad Tower House Overloo...
Comprised of a tall and narrow plywood box, the house is clad in metal walls
The Tower House was placed on top of a wooded hill where it is possible to spot Lake Michigan on a good day. The client wanted to build a "sustainable retreat" that would preserve the area's "timeless beauty" and "simple comforts." The tall and narrow plywood shell is clad with supporting steel walls that prop up the house, which is lifted an entire story above grade.
A central stair meanders from the lower outdoor level to the interior, from enclosed spaces to the glass-enclosed crown. Given that it stands 30 feet above ground, this tranquil birch-lined kitchen, living and dining space on the fourth floor affords tremendous views over the treetops, not to mention a flood of natural light. Cantilevered decks establish yet another connection to the outdoors.

Hi 4pcoach,This symbol is the keyboard cursor. It should be pointing to only one task at a time. You can move it up and down with the j and k keys, and you can select or deselect the current task with i. This lets you navigate your tasks with the keyboard alone!Hope this helps!

Worst news of 2013 so far.
Phoronix: Opera Confirms Its Betting On WebKit, Chromium
Opera will slowly be moving away from its own Presto rendering engine for its closed-source multi-platform web-browser in favor of using the WebKit rendering engine and is also beginning to back Google's Chromium project...
Worst news of 2013 so far.
Opera is irrelevant. Its too late.
They are/were closed and move out only to survive, the new solutions are probably also closed.
They all fail to understand - they need to innovate to become top players. Which means going freedom software in new areas that are interesting for people, instead of making gold nuggets to hide in corporate cases.
And now Opera becomes a Chromium shell?Originally Posted by Opera
But Chromium --> Support PPAPI plugins ---> Support Pepper Flash ---> Opera uses WebKit + Chromium ---> Opera will support PPAPI ---> Opera will be able to use Pepper Flash?
I say go for it.

Maybe they are trying to cut costs by parasiting on the efforts of Google and of the open source community instead of having to develop and maintain their own engine.
Too bad there is less of web browser diversity due to this move.
Oh well, fuck Opera and their propiretary software. Might as well use Chromium instead of their closed-down proprietary software that leeches on WebKit and Chromium technology.
The Google Chromium is fluff. The bulk of the work by Apple and Google is done for WebKit, not to mention WebKit 2 created by Apple. Basically, Opera is adding their branch and any custom interfaces to their value added features and using the Chromium branch to do the heavy lifting.
They picked that one because it gives them Linux, OS X and Windows simultaneously.
If they open source Presto, we don't lose anything, instead, we win a free browser engine, so everybody wins,

J.C. Penney gets a new chief customer and marketing officer
Mary Beth West has been on the retailer's board for 10 years.
With many trials going on, consumers will soon expect delivery within hours, an e-retailer says.
The rush is on to figure out a way to deliver parcels to online shoppers the same day they place their orders. E-commerce giants like Amazon, Walmart.com and eBay are conducting tests. Google Inc. and the U.S. Postal Service are getting in on the act, as are start-ups focused on same-delivery, such as Deliv and Shutl. What comes out of these trials could have a big impact on how online retailers like me conduct our business.
At this point, the battle is confined to Silicon Valley and a few other markets. But make no mistake—the future of e-commerce will be all about same-day delivery. Companies like Amazon, eBay, Wal-Mart and Google can quickly change consumer expectations and thus the way we do business. Right now local shops are where consumers fill an immediate need, but the same-day shipping wars will result in new options for the busy and time-challenged shopper.
Spreadshirt does face a unique challenge in this business model—we have to balance consumer expectations with our product line, which is based on print and manufacture on demand.
Therefore, managing consumer expectations and hitting delivery dates is absolutely critical to our success. Further complicating matters is the compressed delivery cycle; every Spreadshirt product is printed upon order with the majority of US customers unaware that their order is printed instead of picked from a shelf. Delivery time is absolutely core to our business but should never be noticed or problematic for a shopper.
Given the urgency of short delivery cycles, we opened a new production facility in Nevada during 2012 to reduce 1 to 2 shipping days from our existing Greensburg, Pa., plant to California and West Coast consumers. We are totally committed to delivering products quickly in the US market and this strategy has assisted in speeding up the delivery process.
Currently, we do not have production facilities within the shipping war zones so we are not yet a contender in same-day delivery. However, to survive and thrive in e-commerce, we must adapt to the new business landscape once same day delivery is offered in many popular markets. We are all accustomed to the price and quality aspects of our competition, but now speed of delivery adds a new dimension. Shorter shipping cycles are ultimately a better experience for the consumer and we are all about the enhancement of the consumer experience. Since much of the shipping battle will be about market share, I don't expect whatever same-day delivery services that emerge to charge exorbitant rates. My goal is to offer a better consumer experience with a minimal price increase. The net impact of the shipping wars will deliver precisely these results.
The line between retail and e-retail grows finer every day as big outlets known for "bricks" are entering our world of "clicks" for captivating American shoppers. Most Americans have ordered online and they expect wide product ranges, top quality, favorable pricing, and easy return policies—making them very comfortable with online shopping. This level of trust has propelled the e-commerce market as the fastest growing retail sector in the U.S.
In my opinion, price and service wars are ultimately good for the consumer and any good retailer will deliver what the customer expects or will get lost in the shuffle. After all, e-commerce is popular because it offers greater choice, quality, service and price than offline experiences to customers. Spreadshirt will continue with what has worked—providing top-quality print-on-demand apparel and accessories that are not offered offline, with quick delivery. We will continue to move towards faster shipping models and methods that shorten the time between the brands we work with and their loyal customer bases.

Dave Craig
From Ballotpedia
Dave Craig | |
Wisconsin State Assembly District 83 | |
Incumbent | |
Assumed office May, 2011 | |
Current term ends January 3, 2013 | |
Political party | Republican |
Profession | Congressional aide |
Website | Assembly website |
Craig is a native of southeastern Wisconsin and previously worked as a congressional aide to Rep. Paul Ryan.
Committee assignments
In the 2011-2012 legislative session, Craig has been appointed to these committees:
Campaign themes
On his 2011 campaign site, Craig details his policy platform:
- Governing Philosophy: "I believe that that government is best which governs least. I believe that taxing of one's income and regulation of one's actions are inherently restrictive to liberty."
- State Budget Reform: "I believe our state government is too big. Every household in Wisconsin has had to adjust it's budget during these hard economic times. Our state government should be no different. I oppose raising taxes, fees or raiding segregated funds to fill our budget deficit. We need to implement massive spending cuts immediately and put our government on a spending diet that respects our individual liberties and our businesses. I PLEDGE TO OPPOSE ANY BUDGET THAT RAISES TAXES."
- Life: "I believe that life begins at conception. I oppose efforts to legalize assisted suicide. While the state should intervene as little as possible in peoples' lives, I believe the state has an inherent role in promoting a civil society that respects life at all stages."
- Marriage: "I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. I am opposed to any legislation allowing for same sex marriages or civil unions."
- Taxes: "Our state tax code is beginning to rival the federal tax code in complexity. I believe we need to overhaul our current tax code and replace it with a simplified system. I would look at all possible reforms, including REPLACING our current progressive tax code with a consumption tax or flat tax."
- Health Care Reform: "I support state action challenging the Constitutionality of the new federal health care mandate."
- Education: "We must reduce the tax and regulatory burden on families, allowing for more opportunity for involvement in the education of their children. I support parental choice in education, including the use of vouchers."
- Energy: "I support lifting the moratorium limiting nuclear energy production. I oppose all efforts to institute a statewide cap and trade system, or any other taxing system that penalizes carbon dioxide production."
- Tort Reform: "Our system has been abused time and time again in awarding massive non-economic damage awards to plaintiffs. This practice stifles business, bogs down the courts and tramples individual liberties. For these reasons, I support legislation capping non-economic damages."
- 2nd Amendment: "I believe this vision includes the right to carry arms, be it openly or concealed. I further believe that the legislature should approve "Castle Doctrine" legislation."
Craig defeated James Brownlow (D) in the special election on May 3, 2011.[2][3][4]
Craig and his wife, Amy, have four children.

Wedding Trivia:RICE THROWINGRice has been used as a symbol of fertility and as a wish for a "full pantry" in various parts of the world from ancient to modern times. In the past, rice was not the only thing thrown at the bride and groom as the left the wedding. Wheat, instead of rice, was thrown in France, figs and dates were thrown in Northern Africa, and a combination of coins, dried fruit, and candy was thrown in Italy. In some European countries eggs are thrown!Rice is not harmful to the birds that eat it, but an article in California professing this to be the case, has caused birdseed to replace rice at most weddings. Flower petals, confetti, baubles, and balloons are often used today instead of rice.

Recipe: Nigella's Big Chocolate Chip Cookies Two Ways
It's easy to make nice round cookies if you portion out the dough with a scoop. I own five or six different sizes and have had some of them for 20 years, too. For these cookies, I use a 1/4-cup scoop.
21 comments:
I love Nigella and I was fortunate enough to get the Kitchen book from my husband for Christmas (third year in a row getting a Nigella for Christmas) - I think he loves her as much as I do (or nearly). My favorite recipe so far from Kitchen is the strawberry almond crumble (I've also made it with blueberries, peaches and raspberries) - the peach version was my husband's "birthday cake" this week. From Express I recommend the banana muffins and the mustard pork chops. Also Nigella doesn't usually add salt to her recipes so I add some to the muffins. Loved this post!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that melting the butter was all the rage... I usually do it myself... but only because I forget to take the butter out of the fridge so it can soften. Can I now claim to be trendy instead of forgetful?
(This book sounds like it's a good reading cookbook... thanks for reviewing it!)Nigella's cookbooks are great, and her Food Network show is one of my favorites. At the end of every show she walks into her kitchen in the dark, and raids the refrigerator for leftovers! It's hilarious and endearing at the same time.
You have a great blog and I don't know what I enjoy more, your photos or your recipes! Thanks for both!I have her book How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking. I love it. It's fun to read and I've loved the recipes. My two favorites out of the book are the Chocolate Loaf Cake and her White Chocolate Pistachio Cookies. I like the directions she gives too. Somehow directions like "It should look like gooey, thin mud" make sense to me and keep me on track. Love your blog by the way!
ReplyDeleteYum. Nigella was actually kind of a big influence on me about 10 years ago when I was first moving out of the fashion industry and into working with food. She wrote about both for a long time (not sure about now). Anyway for some reason I don't have her more recent books. I think the latest I have is Feast, which I absolutely love. I need to investigate her more recent stuff. I loved her first TV series Nigella Bites too.

Your pictures are amazing! I'm still searching for the perfect CCC and this one is going on the list! Do they turn out crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside? What method do you use to measure your flour - scale (if so, how many ounces or grams flour), scoop & sweep, or spoon & sweep? Thanks for another great post.
ReplyDelete Hi April,
Nigella describes these cookies as having "a bit of tender, fudgy chewiness, but an edge of crisp bite, too." :)
I used the 'scoop & sweep' method to measure out my flour.
Hi Anna,
Thanks for taking the time to write. These cookies are definitely on the chocolately side if you use the entire package of chocolate chips, though I found that it also depends on the size of the chips.
My milk chocolate chips were bigger than the semi-sweet (same brand, just different size), and that left more plain cookie, which I preferred (and I, too, love chocolate).
It's definitely a matter of taste - I've seen some chocolate chip cookies that looked like they were practically solid chocolate.
No matter how you like them, though, a big glass of milk is definitely required! ;)- Anonymous7/04/2012 5:32 PM
Hi! I love you blog! I was just wondering if you could substitute crisco for butter? I hear that it makes cookies larger and more chewier.
ReplyDeleteRepliesA lot of older chocolate chip cookie recipes call for shortening (like Crisco) because it's cheaper than butter, but I'm not sure how it would work to melt it, like the butter is melted in these recipes. I'm not sure why it would make them larger. Also, the cookies won't be as flavorful as when they're made with butter. :)
DeleteIt is true that crisco doesn't melt like butter and that's why some cookies tend to not quite be so flat...b/c this recipe doesn't yield flat cookies, it should be pretty much the same. As for the flavore, just use butter flavored crisco!

For travellers staying on the island of COZUMEL (not Cozumel cruise passengers), you can typically save yourself money by reserving tours on the mainland and then making your own way via ferry over to the meeting point on the mainland. If you reserve a similar tour originating in COZUMEL, you'll no doubt be paying not only the ferry cost but the cost of a guide to accompany you as part of the tour cost. Why pay that extra when riding the ferry is easy?!

Hello my name is Brent C. and I did the Turtle Observation & Release on June 27th. I can honestly not put into words how great and breathtaking the whole experience was! it has always been a dream of mine to watch turtles nest up close and personal but you guys topped that dream and did even better! I almost cried tears of joy when i found out I got to get up close and help remove the turtle eggs as she was laying them! I plan on becoming a marine biologist one day and this whole experience has pushed me farther into my passion for marine biology! I can not say thank you enough! Also cant forget the helpful crew of young men and women that helped us along the night and where ever so kind! Here is a picture of the green sea turtle I named April after she had laid her eggs! Thanks and God Bless

Update 11:01 a.m. on Oct. 1, 2014: The Sept. 28 fire at V's Dog House Restaurant was electrical, according state Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan and Lanesborough Fire Chief Charles A. Durfee. The fire started inside a wall between the kitchen and bar around 4 a.m. The restaurant was closed at the time and there were no injuries. The estimated damage is $700,000. The building did not have fire sprinklers. The fire was investigated by the Lanesborough Fire Department and state police assigned to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Assistance was received from an electrical expert and State Police Crime Scene Services.
Update at 4:35 p.m.: The state fire marshal has ruled out arson as the cause of the blaze that destroyed V's Dog House early Sunday morning.
Fire Chief Charlie Durfee said there are two locations in the building that fire investigators are focusing on to determine the cause. He expected them to have an answer by noon Monday.
The damage is estimated at $700,000, he said. The building (business was previously known as Zen's Dog House) was purchased by Edward L. Vella Jr. in 2009, according to documents in the Registry of Deeds.
Durfee also said the hydrants, owned by the Berkshire Mall, are maintained and functioning but firefighters ran into difficulties getting them open. There are no hydrants on the Route 8 side.
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — V's Doghouse on Route 8 burned to the ground early Sunday morning.
NEW MARLBOROUGH, Mass. — Parents in the Southern Berkshire Regional School District are being advised to be alert after a possible abduction attempt Thursday afternoon. Authorities say the incident happened about 3:30 on Norfolk Road in New Marlborough as an 11-year-old boy walked home from school. The boy told investigators he was approached by a man in a gray, four-door car with blue and white New York license plates. The driver was described as a white man, approximately 30 to 40 years old with a thin build and medium-length black hair that looked a little shaggy. Anyone who might have seen a vehicle matching this description is asked to call the state police barracks in Lee at 413-243-0600. In a letter to parents, Mount Everett Regional School Principal Glenn Devoti said the suspicious man "may have attempted to abduct a 6th grade elementary student." The police and bus company were notified, wrote Devoti. The New Marlborough Police Department, state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's Office and state troopers from the Lee barracks are investigating. "Please be cautious about leaving students unsupervised at bus stops and notify police or school personnel if you observe anyone matching this description or observe any other suspicious behavior," he asked. Lanesborough Police were also looking for a New York vehicle earlier this week, that one a red sedan, possibly a late 1990s model similar to a Pontiac Grand Am, and operated by an older white man with facial hair. In that case, police said the car had been seen around school bus stops in Lanesborough and they wished to speak with the operator.
State Police closed off the Mall Road at the intersection of Route 7.
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — A two-car crash closed the Mall Road for about two hours Thursday night and sent four to the hospital. According to Police Officer Brad Lepicier, two sedans collided on what is officially known as the Route 7/8 Connector Road and one vehicle had caught on fire.
Bystanders pulled three people from the burning vehicle and they were transported to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield. The driver of the other vehicle, who was traveling eastbound, was also transported to the hospital. "All four people were transported to the hospital," Lepicier said, later adding that "bystanders pulled three people out of the car that was on fire before I got there." The extent of the injuries is not known at this time but initial scanner reports indicated the injuries were "serious."
On Thursday night, Lepicier said he had not determined a cause of the crash and is not yet releasing the names of those involved.
Police immediately closed the road after responding to the call at about 7:30 p.m. and Cheshire Police and State Police were stationed at each end: Cheshire near the Berkshire Mall and state police at the intersection of Route 7. Lanesborough Fire and Ambulance responded as did County Ambulance. The road was reopened at about 9:30 p.m. The accident happened near the top of the long, steep Connector Road, which was recently rebuilt. Snow and ice during the day Thursday created dangerous conditions on many county roads. The Mall Road call was the second major accident Lanesborough Police responded to on Thursday. They were also called to assist Williamstown Police in response to a head-on collision on Route 7 earlier in the day.
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The foam house on National Street burned to the ground Thursday afternoon.
The seasonal home is somewhat of a local landmark. The foam created a rounded, bubble-like appearance which led many to dub it "The Flintstone House." According to Fire Chief Charlie Durfee, firefighters responded to the fully engulfed structure fire shortly after 2 p.m. on Thursday.
The house, a wooden structure encased in foam, was already mostly burnt and the firefighters launched a "surround and drown" attack to prevent the flames from damaging nearby properties.
"I was on Narragansett Street, came around the corner and saw this house fully involved and called in a structure fire," Durfee said. "It's the foam house at the bottom on National Street and was built right around 1972."
The foam fueled the fire and the focus was on protecting nearby properties, Durfee said. The flames were so hot that they dried up leaves wet from the rain and threatened to spread. Pieces of foam flew in the sky and littered nearby properties.
The electric was shut off after the wires caught fire. Durfee said he immediately called in support from Cheshire and Pittsfield and attacked the fire from both National Street and from Imperial Street — which runs parallel — to put out the flames in about 45 minutes. County Ambulance responded on scene as well. The building at 45 National St. is used seasonally and no one was there at the time. It is owned by Denise Barrierre of Rhode Island. The small structure had one bedroom and one bath and was about a 1,000 square feet in size.
It was built in the 1970s with foam with a focus on being energy efficient. There were no firefighters injured in the process of knocking down the flames during the heavy rain. The cause is undetermined after a fire inspector arrived on the scene Thursday afternoon.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Police have recovered hundreds of pieces of jewelry and other items that are not matching up with their records of items reported stolen in a recent rash of break-ins. Anyone who has had their home broken into prior to March 22 is being asked to identify their possessions at an open house on Saturday, June 8, from 10 to 2 at the Police Department on Allen Street. Police say the items either haven't been reported stolen or were stolen from homes outside of city. The investigation is being done by state, Cheshire, Lanesborough and Pittsfield police. Some of the recovered property has already be linked to break-ins in those communities and in Richmond. Police have arrested Christopher Maschino Jr., 21, and Anne Haughey, 21, both of Pittsfield, in connection with the break-ins. Even if the owners of the seized property can identify it, they cannot take possession of their items immediately because they are being held as evidence until released by the district attorney's office. Attendees are required to bring a valid identification to the open house and are asked to bring any ownership documents.

Dear Customer,
First of all my apologies for sending this unsolicited e-mail. As you have done business with us in the past and ordered a product off our website (http://sombralabs.com), I just wanted to let you know that we've decided to close down our RC receiver business.
The last couple of years have been quite difficult as the majority of the RC enthusiasts have moved away from the traditional narrow-band receivers. As a business we can no longer justify continuing to manufacture these products.
We've already run out of the 72/75MHz versions, but we still have some limited stock of the HAM variants of the synthesized SL-8 and the crystal based Lepton-6. Due to the very limited amount of stock, we've decided not to offer any discounts on the receivers, however, we've drastically reduced the prices of all UM-1 crystals by up to 85% as we still have significant stock of these on hand.
Once we run out of the HAM receivers, we'll close down our online store and eventually the website too, please make sure that you download any relevant user guides, etc.
We're proud to have served you for the last 10 years, and thank you for your support and encouragement.
Sombra Labs Team

Well gent it seems we are right around the corner for this event and I wanted to touch base with a few of you on the food.
I will be bringing the smoker out there this year early in the morning to get us a good meal going.
So far the plan is to do some tri tip, picnic pork butt, and brisket (if I can find some)
My question you all of you. Does anyone have some food allergies I should know about before I start the dry rub and injections of these meats?
I also wanted to see who was going to show up earlier on fri.
