white batter + chocolate orange breads
print now | return to original post
White Batter Bread
Recipe adapted from class materials at the ICE
Updated 3/12/11: It turns out, this bread recipe had some major problems, problems which I'm terribly embarrassed took me 4 1/2 years (and an utter ignorance towards the handful of concerned comments) to realize were there. 1. I forgot to mention that the dough was to be divided among two pans (yikes!) 2. There was too much salt. Better I fix it late than never, right? While I was at it, I went ahead and halved the recipe to make just one loaf, streamlined the directions and added metrics.
The revised recipe works like the dream this bread was originally meant to be. This is a very quick, very simple, tender white sandwich bread with incredible flavor. It requires no kneading and only one rise, and comes out of the oven in 30 minutes. I realize that white bread has fallen out of favor in the last couple decades, but maintain that if for occasional nostalgia alone (or brown bettys!) it's a delicious thing to know how to whip up if only so you can eat it warm from the oven, slathered with salted butter.
Yield: One sandwich loaf
1 cup (237 ml) milk, warmed (105 to 110 degrees)
1 1/8 teaspoons (half of one envelope i.e. 1/8 ounce or 3 1/2 grams) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon (13 grams or 1/2 ounce) sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted plus additional for greasing pan
2 cups (250 grams or 8 3/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
Whisk yeast into warmed milk and set aside for 5 minutes. Whisk together yeast mixture, sugar, salt and butter. Beat in flour (with a wooden spoon or paddle of an electric mixer) half at a time to make a smooth batter — beat for 3 to 4 minutes with a machine or 5 minutes by hand.
Butter a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Pour batter into pan and cover with a piece of buttered plastic wrap and let rise for one hour. About 20 minutes before it is done rising, preheat your oven to 400°F and remove the plastic from your loaf.
Place bread in oven and reduce temperature to 375°F. Bake for 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the bread reads 210°.
Chocolate Orange Bread
From Techniques of Bread Baking 1 at the ICE
Though this sounds more like cake than bread, it is not too sweet and make a perfect breakfast or brunch bread.
1/2 cup warm water, about 110 degrees
2 1/2 teaspoons (1 envelope) active dry yeast
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (remember to reserve some, adding it only if you need)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, about 1 ounce
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
One 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4-inch loaf pan, buttered
1. Place warm water in a small bowl and whisk in yeast
2. To mix dough by hand, combine flour, cocoa, sugar, salt, orange zest and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Rub in butter until no piece of butter remain visible. Add milk, egg and yeast mixture and stir to form a rough dough. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface (you may need the help of a scraper) and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
3. Place dough in a buttered bowl and turn to coast all sides. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
4. Turn risen dough from bowl out onto a floured work surface. Press down with palms of hands to deflate. To form loaf, stretch dough into a rough rectangle, then fold in short ends until dough is approximately the length of the pan. Then fold far long edge down to the middle. Fold over the remaining long edge and compress to form a tight cylinder. Place the loaf in the pan, seam side down. Cover the pan with plastic wrap (deb note: you'll want to quickly spray or oil the top of it so it doesn't stick to the plastic when it rises) and allow dough to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. When the loaf is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees and set a rack at the middle level.
6. When the loaf is completely risen, place in oven and immediately lower temperature to 350 degrees. Bake about 30 to 40 minutes, until well risen and firm to the tough. The internal temperature of the bread will be about 210 degrees when it's done. (deb note: might be as low as 190, as this has an egg and butter in it). Unmold the loaf to a rack to cool.

Comments about Mens Dallas Cowboys Nike White Custom Elite Jersey:
The only thing I am not happy with is the sizing. I am a small man, when I ordered my Jersey I ordered a size 48 b/c that is true fit. It wasn't til after I received my Jersey that I learned Nike changed their sizing of the Jersey's. If I had known before hand that Nike Jersey's run a size larger than actual sizing, I would of ordered a size 40 instead of 48 so I would have a true size fit. Don't get me wrong, it fits, it's just a Lil bulky to what I was expecting in a size 48. Because I customized the Jersey, I didn't think I could get it exchanged to a size 40 for a true fit. I am happy with my Jersey's just wish I had known Nike changed it sizing chart so it would truly be customized true to fit.

Australia's GrainCorp Still Takeover Target–Broker
Chatter that a takeover of GrainCorp could still be in the stars continues to give a lift to the Australian grain handler's share price.
On Monday, Bell Potter, a brokerage, upgraded the stock to "hold" from "sell," as it thinks the stock will continue to incorporate a takeover premium in its price even though the company itself is "overvalued."
GrainCorp shares jumped more than 3% in Sydney Monday afternoon.
Bell Potter said GrainCorp is pricing in a 50% chance that ADM will return with a bid.
U.S. commodity giant Archer Daniels Midland attempted a A$2.8 billion ($2.63 billion) bid for GrainCorp last year, but the bid was rejected by the Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board in November, saying a takeover would go against the national interest. ADM holds 19.9% of the company.
However, Australia's trade and investment minister Andrew Robb said in March that "there may be another opportunity at some stage" for a takeover of GrainCorp, which has given some support to its share price since a February low of A$7.52 per share.
ADM president Juan Luciana said in April that ADM would try to increase its GrainCorp stake.
Others are less optimistic about a bid however, as competition for grain handling on Australia's east coast has stepped up in recent months.
"We view [a takeover] as unlikely due to the political cost of allowing a foreign takeover, as well as the reduced strategic value of GrainCorp's assets," said J.P. Morgan in a note earlier this month.
GrainCorp's dominant position in grain handling on Australia's east coast is being challenged, with Australian logistics company Qube Holdings Ltd. announcing in March that it is teaming up with Hong Kong-based Noble Group to develop a new grain handling facility at Port Kembla in New South Wales.
GrainCorp reported a 43% drop on-year in first-half net profit in May to A$50 million.

These Modern Women
Introduction by Elaine Showalter
In 1926-27, The Nation published these seventeen anonymous essays by "women active in professional and public life." At that time The Nation editors noted that, "Our object is to discover the origin of their modern point of view toward men, marriage, children, and jobs." In the introduction, Elaine Showalter discusses the issues raised—from alcoholism to celibacy, from mother-daughter relationships to politics—and identifies and examines the lives of the authors, among whom are Crystal Eastman, Mary Austin, and Genevieve Taggard.
"[This is] an exciting book, painful and exhilarating too. . . . What do they have to tell us, these letters from the feminist attic? Why publish them now . . . ? For a number of reasons. First, experience is not all that different. These essays record the continuing effort necessary if women are to become the human creatures they want to be."
"These brief, often bitter-sweet reflections on their lives by a group of 1920s feminists reveal aspects of our struggle from a time that is too readily overlooked. Elaine Showalter's provocative and interesting introduction makes clear that we neglect this period at our peril. In calling our attention to facts we might prefer to ignore, Showalter performs an important service."

CURRENT LOCATION: On a mooring ball near the reef in Ensenada Dakity
Today is cause for celebration...hurricane season 2008 has officially ended!!! From Bertha through Omar, there were far too many named cyclones in our immediate vicinity (over the past six months) for my liking. However, we made it through unscathed. Whheeww!!
Please note, though, that although the official date is past and I am happy about the calendar finally showing December across the top of the page, I am not prematurely counting chickens. It is a fact that an occasional December hurricane can and does occur. The historical records show several relatively recent examples...
...so we'll continue to keep a close eye on the weather. If all remains quiet, and the weather looks good for sailing, who knows where we might be in as little as two weeks from today. Stay tuned.

Police: Daughter jailed for stealing $13 from mother's purse
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 12:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 11:21 p.m.
An 18-year-old Edgewater resident faces robbery charges after police said she stole $13 from her mother's purse while the two were driving down State Road 44 in New Smyrna Beach.
According to the arrest report, Lauren Ann Root was riding with her mother, Susan Kay Root, 47, also of Edgewater, as she drove west on S.R. 44 on Tuesday. The two were on their way to Halifax Health Medical Center to pick up Susan Root's 11-year-old daughter when the two women got into an argument about the younger Root's recent drug use, the report said.
During the argument, Lauren Root grabbed her mother's purse. Susan Root tried to take the purse back, swerving and almost causing an accident, the police said. Susan Root pulled into a Citgo station in the 2100 block of S.R. 44, where the women continued to struggle for the purse, the report said.
When the victim gave up, police said Lauren Root grabbed money from inside the purse and ran away.
Police officers caught up with her at Jungle Road and North Walker Street and found her in possession of the $13 from the purse.
Lauren Root was arrested and despite her mother saying she did not want her incarcerated, just drug tested, she was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail and held without bail.

Former president Bill Clinton regularly cheats on his vegan diet, but is still embraced by the vegan community, ABC News reported Monday. This is noteworthy because most vegans are very strict about their 100 percent plant-based diet.
"There is some latitude, he is primarily a vegan," said Len Torine, executive director of the American Vegetarian Association. "Whatever amount of vegan you are, I support it. I support him. He's bringing enlightenment to a huge population because of his popularity."
Freya Dinshah, president of the American Vegan Society, agrees that whatever level of vegan Clinton is, it's great for the vegan movement because he has brought a lot of attention to the diet and lifestyle, which shuns the consumption of animal proteins and the use of animal products such as leather. "[Clinton is not a vegan] according to strict definitions, but we applaud everyone doing the best they can," said Dinshah.
Clinton's Weight-Loss Coach Put Bill on Sugar-Free Detox Diet
Dr. Mark Hyman, a weight-loss expert and regular guest on the "Dr. Oz Show," has been Bill and Hillary Clinton's dietitian since 2004. Hyman recently revealed that he forced Clinton to get off his vegan diet.
"It's hard being a vegan to eat enough good, quality protein and not have too much starch," Hyman told the NYTimes. "I know a lot of fat vegans."
Instead of avoiding animal protein altogether, Hyman prescribed for both Hillary and Bill a sugar-free diet of unprocessed foods and plenty of non-starchy vegetables. Clinton now eats fish and eggs once a week.
Avoiding sugar is the one thing that will make the biggest difference in your health, said Hyman, author of The 10-Day Detox Diet. After adopting Dr. Hyman's detox diet, Clinton reversed his heart disease and enjoyed an effortless 30-pound weight loss.
Clinton, 67, began following a vegan diet in 2011 after undergoing heart surgery in 2010. Clinton, who has a family history of cardiovascular disease, underwent a quadruple heart-bypass surgery in 2004 and in 2010 had two stents placed in his coronary artery.
The surgeries led to a dietary epiphany when the former president realized that his poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle had ruined his health. After adopting a mostly plant-based diet, Bill lost 30 pounds and dramatically improved his heart health. He also began exercising daily, and now walks two or three miles a day, lifts weights and plays golf.
Clinton's improved heart health and weight loss on a mostly vegan diet is not surprising to obesity experts like Dr. Joel Fuhrman. "The more greens you eat, the more weight you will lose," said Dr. Fuhrman, author of The End of Dieting.
Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, said her dad's heart health is better than it was a decade ago, thanks to his weight loss and mostly vegan diet. "His doctor told him that his heart today is much younger than it was even 10 years ago," said Chelsea. "He's probably the world's most famous vegan."

Pac-12 basketball preview: Arizona leads the way heading into regular season
SAN FRANCISCO — Considering how only one team has a losing record in nonconference play, the Pac-12 is certainly living up to the expectations of Arizona coach Sean Miller. He predicted parity and success at the league's media day before the season began.
"I think we have great balance," said Miller, who noted the importance of Pac-12 teams winning games in November and December. "The most success that we can have as a conference, only helps each other. And now's the best time to do it with the added exposure that (Pac-12 commissioner) Larry Scott has brought us. I think timing is really impeccable."
Tabbed as a narrow favorite in the Pac-12's preseason media poll, Arizona has certainly lived up to expectations. The Wildcats were a perfect 12-0 in nonconference play.
Miller, however, entered the campaign unwilling to talk about just one team in the league.
"I think there's five or six different teams that can do a great job," he said.
Pac-12 play tips off this week with five teams (Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Oregon and UCLA) already sporting 10 or more victories. Oregon State, Stanford and Washington State each have nine. California, Utah and Washington prevailed eight times outside conference play.
USC (5-8) is the only team in the league with a losing record as the quest for seeding at the Pac-12 Tournament (March 13-16) in Las Vegas begins.

Follow Safety Rules and Building Codes with Deck Stairs
A good portion of decks and patios require stairs. It is important to remember that the same rules that apply to stairs inside the home apply outside as well. Therefore, if your new deck is even a foot off the ground, you will probably need at least one stair. But all deck stairs are not that simple, especially for second story decks.
There are a slew of building codes governing deck stairs, which are usually made from wood (iron or steel stairs are possible but must be prefabricated and are much more expensive). These building codes are fairly universal because of the similarity of deck building materials in common use, but that is no excuse not to check with your local building department before construction.
A stairway is the sum of its parts. Those parts are posts, stringers, treads, risers, and railings. The posts hold up the stringers on which you'll fasten the treads (horizontal) and risers (vertical) with the railings bringing in safety to the equation. Building codes will address everything from the thickness of treads to rail heights. Some common deck stair codes are as follows:
- At least 35" between rails (width of walkable portion of stairway)
- Stringers must be at least 1.5" thick with no more than four feet between them
- Maximum stair rise of 8"
- Minimum tread width of 9 1/4"
- Rails must be 36" above landings/4" maximum space between spindles/balusters
- No handrail required if stairs have less than three risers.
These are just the highlights. More specific information for deck stairs is available through your local building department or by speaking with an inspector.
Concrete patios often need stairs and railings as well. In this case the stairs are usually poured by the concrete contractor and are subject to the same codes as wood stairs.

Men Against Domestic Violence
Stand up!
Be a Man Against Domestic Violence!
- Men Against Domestic Violence Committee
- Signs of an Abusive Relationship
- What can I do?
- Sign a pledge!
Men Against Domestic Violence Committee
In response to the increasing number of lives lost because of domestic violence in the past year, the YWCA Greater Harrisburg has renewed its commitment to doing everything possible to educate the community and stop the violence.
The YWCA has spearheaded the formation of a committee to develop programs aimed at encouraging men to participate in efforts to stop domestic violence in our community. We feel it is vital that men take a stand in the campaign against this epidemic. The Men Against Domestic Violence Committee invites you to be a part of our first initiative: The Men Against Domestic Violence Commitment Pledge. Our goal is to get 1,000 men to make a commitment to working to end domestic violence.
YWCA Greater Harrisburg is seeking support to help us to raise awareness. Support could be in the form of monetary support of the Men Against Domestic Violence initiative or any Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October) event; or distributing brochures to encourage men to sign the pledge to end domestic violence.
Signs of an Abusive Relationship
- Physical: Are there signs of injury from hitting, punching, strangulation, kicking? Are there signs of damage to the home from objects thrown or destroyed "in anger"?
- Emotional/Psychological: Do you hear yelling? Are insults, threats, or degrading comments regularly used by one partner to the other?
- Power and Control: Is this a relationship where one partner has all the power and control? Is one partner kept from seeing friends or family? Is one partner extremely jealous about anything the other does or who they know? Is one partner overly possessive of the other? Does one partner control all aspects of family finance? Does one partner control what the other wears – how they act – where they can go – whether they can work?
What can I do?
(Taken from 10 Things Men Can Do to Prevent Gender Violence, ©1999, Jackson Katz www.jacksonkatz.com)
- If you suspect someone you know is being abused, gently ask if you can help.
- If someone you know is abusing their partner – don't look the other way. If you feel comfortable, try to talk to them. Urge them to seek help. If you don't know what to do consult a friend, parent, mentor, counselor. Don't remain silent.
- If you are abusive, or have been in the past, seek professional help now.
- Have the courage to look inward. Question your own attitudes. View men not only as offenders but as empowered bystanders who can confront abusive peers.
- Be an ally to those who are working to end all forms of gender violence. Support their work. Help to raise money. Attend rallies.
- Don't fund sexism. Refuse to purchase any magazine, rent any video, buy any music that portrays girls or women in a sexually degrading or abusive manner. Protest sexism in the media.
- Mentor and teach young boys about how to be men in ways that don't involve degrading or abusive behavior. Volunteer to work with gender violence prevention programs. Lead by example.

18:32, UK, Monday 01 December 2008
Barack Obama has confirmed his former rival Hillary Clinton as his choice for US Secretary of State and he has been unveiling his national security team.
Mr Obama said he was "confident" the team would help resolve some of the major issues currently facing America and the world.
Introducing Senator Clinton as "my dear friend" he told reporters she possessed extraordinary intelligence and a remarkable work ethic.
"She's an American of tremendous stature who will have my complete confidence, who knows many of the world's leaders, who will command respect in every capital, and who will clearly have the ability to advance our interests around the world," he said.
Senator Clinton went on to tell how, despite it being "very difficult" for her to leave the Senate, she was "proud" to join Mr Obama in a "difficult and exciting adventure".
Mr Obama went on to name the rest of his defence team, including defence secretary Robert Gates who will continue in his current post but with a "new mission" to end the Iraq war and hand over control of the country to the Iraqis.
The President-elect also introduced retired Marine General James Jones as White House national security adviser, former Justice Department official Eric Holder as attorney general and Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano as secretary of homeland security.
Mr Obama said: "I assembled this team because I'm a strong believer in strong persnalities and decisions."
He went on to assert his authority over the powerful group, saying: "As Harry Truman said, 'the buck will stop with me'."
Sky's US political analyst Jon-Christopher Bua said: "Obama is demonstrating that he wants all of these leaders to work in a close and coordinated fashion to use all elements of power to keep America safe and make the world a safer place.
"By picking Hillary Clinton and giving her 'the jewel in the crown' it is clear he is serious about using diplomacy before military force."

Carnival of souls
* It's been a while!
* Fantagraphics is having a big clearance and closeout sale, and I insist that you purchase Dave Cooper's outstanding, largely forgotten, and probably last-ever graphic novel Ripple for 1/3rd off cover price.
* All-time ADDTF hero Clive Barker is making the interview rounds big-time in support of today's DVD release of the still-unseen-by-me Midnight Meat Train. Here's a long one at Shock Till You Drop, another long one at Dread Central, and a slightly shorter but still interesting one at Fearnet.
* Chris Butcher, Tom Spurgeon, Brian Hibbs, and Tom Spurgeon again react to the news that monopoly direct-market comics distributor Diamond is permanently delisting about 1000 manga volumes from their Previews catalog as part of their recently announced cutbacks of low-selling items. The reason I don't talk about business issues much anymore is because I am manifestly unqualified to do so, but I just can't imagine how cutting off 1000 items from North America's biggest comics publisher from a market entirely in thrall to such decisions is good for the long-term health of the industry. I think Tom raises an important point when he says that the way Diamond is sort of dropping these bombshells out there with little or no explanation of the thought process behind them, leaving it up to interested third parties to explain/excuse/defend these moves, is a strange way to go about making decisions that could effect the shape of the Direct Market forever.
* The cast of Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables, which already included Sly, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, and Jason Statham, now includes Eric Roberts...and Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is already the greatest movie ever made. Better than Crank, even.
* Michael Kupperman blogs! Look for previews of future Tales Designed to Thrizzle, deleted scenes from Cheers featuring Tobin Bell as SAW, and more.
* Kiel Phegley interviews Sammy Harkham about Kramers Ergot 7. It's the full transcript of the interview that he conducted for his piece naming KE7 Wizard's Indie of the Year.
* Josiah Leighton got a review of the Pierre Bonnard show at the Met in his NYCC con report! No, he got an NYCC con report in his review of the Pierre Bonnard show at the Met!
* The Gold In Us is back, pointing out the internal continuity of Grant Morrison's many DC comics. I'd wondered about those little JLAers myself.
* Dave Ortega talks to Dave Kiersh, a longtime ADDTF fave and faithful chronicler of the teenage wasteland, about his books Dirtbags, Mallchicks & Motorbikes, Never Land, and more, and I really just love a lot of what he says. Honestly, this sounds like I wrote it:
Well, I'm not so much a poetry reader in the traditional sense. I do however enjoy music, of course, which is closely related. My early comics were much shorter and with them, I was more concerned with conveying an emotion; story was not so important to me. Even with my longer stories, I have no aspiration for writing a sort of literary graphic novel. When I think of rock and roll songs I like, sometimes they tell a story. But more often what makes them memorable is that they possess a sort of compact nostalgic thrill. Just like an album has a theme that ties songs together, I wanted to create a book of short stories tied together with a common purpose. That's what works for me now, rather than to write a long novel. It's like asking a rock musician to write a song that is an hour long. In that way, it doesn't make sense for me to make a 100 page novel. It has to be interesting for the reader and in doing so avoid repetition. My new book is five short stories not directly related to one another, but you could also view it as one story through the separate characters....For me, a picture story has to have this perfect balance balance between word and picture: that's what keeps a child's interest. I'm not exactly sure what keeps an adult's interest but its similar to music; how I interpret music. Not like Classical music but like Rock and Roll... something that hits you immediately and hopefully sticks with you.Yes yes yes yes yes.
* Curt Purcell reviews Fletcher Hanks's I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets! Not only does he pull some of my favorite images from the book to illustrate the review, but he also articulates something I hadn't been able to put my finger on, which is that the repetition in some of the images is almost evocative of mental illness.
* ADDTF blogfather Bill Sherman's review of the uncut-edition Friday the 13th DVD doubles as a brief and informative history lesson about the movie and its context in the slasher tradition.
* In another of his terrific posts on (mostly) '90s superhero comics, Tim O'Neil explains DC and Marvel's contrasting approaches to character retcons.
* Marc-Oliver Frisch reviews Ed Brubaker & Sean Philips' Incognito. He feels that the series so far lacks a certain emotional heft that the pair's previous hardboiled collaborations Sleeper and Criminal had. My feeling is that it's just gonna take some time to get there since you're dealing with bastards, but he's not wrong for the moment.
* I think Beavis and Butt-Head is truly brilliant and just as funny now as it was when I was Beavis and Butt-Head's age, so seeing a lengthy, thoughtful review of Beavis and Butt-Head Do America by Not Coming to a Theater Near You's Katherine Follett was a real treat. Set your TiVos.
* Chris Butcher and friends (I think?) review Naoki Urasawa's Monster now that it's all over and done with. Chris says the review's spoilery and I'm not even close to having read the whole thing so I'm just bookmarking it for the future, but if you've gone through the whole thing, by all means check it out.
* Of all the things to rip off from Alex Ross, you go with the sourceless white glow???
* Odd blogospheric convergence of the day: Andrew Sullivan reads the, oh, let's call them tea leaves regarding Michael Phelps, millennials, and marijuana through a viewing of the Friday the 13th remake.
* Helena Christensen and Ed Westwick—Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass—in a photo shoot inspired by The Graduate? Sure, I'll eat it.
Delicious. (Hat tip: The Missus.)
* Nine Inch Nails touring—and recording?—with the original line-up of Jane's Addiction as a farewell to the live incarnation of the NIN brand? Sure, I'll eat it—and come back for seconds! In all seriousness, whatever became of the NIN/Jane's style of dark, sexual, vaguely sinister, yet still both extremely thoughtful and hook-oriented school of alternative rock?
* Finally, Frank Santoro is a shy and retiring guy.

I...I've missed you.
"My feeling is that it's just gonna take some time to get there since you're dealing with bastards, but he's not wrong for the moment."
It's quite possible that it just takes some time, of course, but I don't think that's an excuse.
Also, I'm not sure I agree with your sentiment that "bastards" make it harder for a story to prompt an emotional response from the reader. They probably make it harder if it's the bastards themselves we're supposed to be emotionally involved in, but there are other options.

Unlike its cousin site of Chichen Itza or Tikal, Palenque's well-preserved ruins now visible are the heavily restored remains of the ceremonial center the ceremonial center may be divided into three major areas:
- The Pyramid of the Inscriptions, the west facade of the Palace and the unexcavated mound Temple XI;
- Arroyo Otulum, Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Cross and the Temple of the Foliated Cross;
- Ball Court and the Temple of the Count, Palace, Temple X, and the North Group.
In 1952 an impressive tomb was uncovered under the Temple of the Inscriptions, demonstrating for the first time that the Maya pyramids served – contrary to former belief of the Maya- both as funerary structures and temple platforms. To this day many of the inscriptions at Palenque have been deciphered, revealing much of the dynastic history of the site. The following descriptions of the different elements are best described via the time frame that corresponds to the rulers. This is because it was the rulers, namely Pacal and his children that held the greatest and most influential power in Palenque, sponsoring structures during their reign.
Perhaps one of the greatest and most ambitious, not to mention precocious Mayan kings, Pacal assumed power in 603 AD at the very early age of 12 and ruled for 68 years until his death in 683 AD. Well known for his drive and contributions of Palenque, Pacal built the Forgotten Temple in 647 AD. He also sponsored the Temple of the Count, as well as underground galleries beneath passages in the Palace. Stucco reliefs of masks in tableros on the west end of the north facade of the Palace and figures with well defined facial features on columns on the north facade celebrate Pacal's ancestry. His remains, adorned with jade ornaments and face covered with a jade mask were deposited in a stone sarcophagus covered with an elaborately carved stone located in a chamber 1.5 m below the surface of the plaza above which was erected as the Pyramid or Temple of the Inscriptions. The sarcophagus is currently accessible by a stairway from Temple of the Inscriptions on the top of the pyramid.
Pacal left more than just majestic temples to remind the Mayan world of his existence; Chan-Balum, the eldest son, assumed power in 684 AD upon the death of his father ruled under the same lineage for another 18 years. He was responsible for the completion of the temple atop the Pyramid of the Inscriptions modeled after the Forgotten Temple and the construction of the Group of the Cross temples: the Temple of the Cross, the Temple of the Foliated Cross, and the Temple of the Sun. The panels on the rear interior walls of all these temples depict Chan-Balum and Pacal containing texts purporting to legitimize Chan-Balum's power.
Kan-Xul the younger son of Pacal succeeded his older brother in 702 AD at the age of 38 and ruled for yet another 23 years. He remodeled the Palace adding rooms, galleries and courtyards with bas-relief slabs some exhibiting fine detail. Under his direction the Palace assumed roughly its present form including T-windows (also present in other structures at Palenque and at other sites) whose function is unclear. Some theories suggest that the T formations functioned as vocal points for an system of acoustics within the walls of the palace that allowed for communication around its walls. The T-form also appears in the Ik day glyph which means `wind" and `breath" and might be taken as a metaphor for `life'.
Though uncertain, Kan-Xul may also been responsible for adding the tower to the Palace. This structure supported by wooden lentils with an interior staircase is thought by some to have functioned as an astronomical observatory, a theory supported by the presence of a venus glyph on a landing. Temple XIV is also attributed to Kan-Xul. This structure was apparently deliberately placed to block access to the Group of the Cross. Kan-Xul is thought to have been made a prisoner of war and decapitated.
Palenque is easily accessible by car, bus or (charter) plane. An air strip is an essential accessory for all self-respecting ruins in Central America, and Palenque is no exception. As this is a veritable tourist mecca, food, transport and accommodation are always in plentiful supply. There is even a camp site near the ruins for the brave hearted who wish to bond with nature - mosquitoes come free.
Share taxis commute frequently between the town and the ruins, 6.5 km, and charge a very reasonable rate. Open from 8 am to 5 pm, archaeological site also offers a small museum, visitors centre and a car park.
There are plenty of jungle walks and trails around the main group of ruins. Mountain behind the Temple of Inscriptions has interesting trails dotted with small ruins. There is also an Indian village a few hours walk away on the far side of the mountain. For all such adventures and excursions, dress sensibly. Wear good walking shoes, full length trousers, shirt/ blouse and hat. It is better to steam a little rather than become lunch for the local mosquito population. Other basic rules are, use plenty of insect repellent, keep a torch handy and never explore the jungle by your self.
Excursions from the town can be taken to Nututun, Misol-HA or Agua Azul for a pleasant swim and exploration of the tropical rainforest. Longer treks can be arranged to visit the ruins at Yaxchilan and Bonampak further out in the jungle. There is plenty to see and explore in the surrounding mountains of the "Chiapas". There are great waterfalls, cascades, rapids and idyllic villages within easy reach of Palenque. Higher up the Chiapas, weather is refreshingly cool and scenery is always breath taking. Town of San Cristobal de las Casas, 5.30 hours by bus, is famous for its charming colonial architecture, scenic beauty and refreshingly cool weather - perfect country for horse riding.
Of Palenque's 500 main buildings, only 34 have been excavated. However, don't attempt to play Indiana Jones - it is illegal and dangerous. Resist the temptation to touch unguarded paintings and stucco works. As these are not properly restored yet, your loving caress will cause permanent damage to the delicate surface. For our own selfish pleasure of seeing all this again in the future, please be a conscientious tourist.

I want to read a book on group theory "Endliche Gruppen I" by Huppert, Blackburn etc. I do not know, whether it is translated in English. Can one suggest a way for this- "Online Mathematics dictionary, German to English", or whether book translated in English, or any other?

Offline there's a Langenschiedt English/German/French/Russian mathematical dictionary ISBN 3861170744, and Landau's Grundlagen der Analysis in the AMS edition comes with a "complete German-English vocabulary" that could be helpful. I don't think there is an English translation of Endliche Gruppen I.

Scholars See Growing Political Cost in Delay on Gay Ban
SANTA BARBARA, CA, May 7, 2009 - In the wake of news that the military
is about to discharge a gay Arabic language speaker, scholars at the
Palm Center say the military costs of "don't ask, don't tell" are now
being compounded by political costs.

SANTA BARBARA, CA, May 7, 2009 - In the wake of news that the military is about to discharge a gay Arabic language speaker, scholars at the Palm Center say the military costs of "don't ask, don't tell" are now being compounded by political costs. The discharge would be the first known case of a mission-critical specialist under the Obama administration. While President Obama has said he wants to see the current policy terminated, criticism is growing for what appear to be delays and walk-backs from the new administration, which recently changed its website to soften its commitment to ending the ban on open gays.
"It's clear the White House has made a decision, for the moment, to put off action on this critical issue because of fear it could undercut other priorities," said Dr. Nathaniel Frank, senior researcher at the Palm Center and author of "Unfriendly Fire: How the Gay Ban Undermines the Military and Weakens America." Frank said Obama "apparently took the wrong lessons from the 1990s fallout with gays in the military, believing that Bill Clinton's error was moving too quickly. "In fact, it was not Clinton's speed, but his delay, and the appearance of a weakened resolve, that allowed his opponents to rally and defeat him," said Frank. "With the firing of First Lieutenant Dan Choi, the costs of the gay ban delay are beginning to register with the public and the media."
The Palm Center is about to release a study, co-authored by experts in military law, that argues that President Obama has stroke-of-the-pen authority to suspend the gay discharge process via executive order. Dr. Aaron Belkin, director of the Palm Center, wrote about the executive order and Choi's discharge in the Huffington Post today.
### The Palm Center is a research institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The Center uses rigorous social science to inform public discussions of controversial social issues, enabling policy outcomes to be informed more by evidence than by emotion. Its data-driven approach is premised on the notion that the public makes wise choices on social issues when high-quality information is available. For more information, visit www.palmcenter.org.

Royal Wedding...CAKE!
With the Royal Wedding just days away, here at LocateTV our minds have drifted towards the food to be served on the day; more specifically, the cake!
We've heard that Kate Middleton has been instrumental in co-ordinating the sweet treats to be served after the wedding ceremony, even providing mood boards and samples of what she'd like to be included! Now that's one prepared bride!
Besides a traditional fruit cake topped with icing, Prince William has also requested that McVitie's whip up a Royal family traditional favourite – a chocolate and biscuit extravaganza! Mostly known as a 'Fridge Cake' in the UK, the Royal family often enjoy the cake with tea at Buckingham Palace – how wonderfully British!
Although the official recipe being used on the big day is a closely guarded secret, it's estimated to contain 1,700 biscuits and nearly 40lb of chocolate!
So if your invite to the Royal Wedding has gotten lost in the post, or even if you're totally uninterested in the wedding of the future King of England, that doesn't mean you need miss out on this delicious cake. It's so easy, you'll be making up a second batch in no time!
- 100g butter/margarine - cut into cubes so it melts easier
- 400g good quality chocolate - I've used Cadbury's Dairy Milk
- 150g McVitie's Rich Tea biscuits - McVitie's Digestive biscuits are a good alternative, or Graham crackers
- 4 tablespoons of Golden Syrup
- 2 handfuls of raisins
Optional extras:
- 1 handful of nuts - Try walnuts, almonds, pistachios; the choice is yours!
- 1 handful of chopped, dried apricots
- Crystalised ginger
- 2 handfuls of cranberries
- 2 handfuls of chopped glace cherries
- 2 handfuls of white chocolate chips
- Maltesers, Smarties, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, Minstrels; the list is endless and oh so chocolatey!
- Crush the biscuits into chunks using your hands and set aside.
- Choose your selection of added goodies - I've just used raisins in mine - and add them to the biscuit mix.
- In a saucepan, melt the cubed butter and Golden Syrup over simmering water, then add the chocolate (broken into small segments) to melt, stirring constantly, and remove from the heat.
- Add the biscuit and fruit to the melted chocolate and stir well until everything is coated.
- Line a baking tin with greaseproof or parchment paper, leaving a little hanging over the edges of the tin to easily remove the cake.
- Pop in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set, or until firm to the touch.
- Remove from the tin, and cut into slices to serve.
- Keep any leftovers in the fridge.
There you have it! Easy, right?!
And here's my own version of the cake - it went down very well here in the LocateTV office!
Are you excited about the big day? We've got the Royal Wedding TV Schedule to ensure you don't miss the event!
Haven't found your own Prince Charming yet? Who would make your list? Create your own Royal Suitors Shortlist to show the World who you'd like to sweep you off your feet!

Lucerne Valley, CA – FMF KTM Factory Support rider Gary Sutherlin took his first career victory at the opening round of the AMA National Hare & Hound Series while his teammate Ivan Ramirez came from behind to also place on the podium in 3rd position.
IRVINE, CA – KTM already has some heavy firepower in the GEICO AMA EnduroCross Championship with Taddy Blazusiak, (five-time GEICO EnduroCross champion) and Taylor Robert, (former Junior EnduroCross and WORCS champion) competing full-time for the 2014 championship. But for the upcoming Atlanta round, they will be joined by some of the biggest names from the East Coast off-road scene. KTM officials confirmed this week that Kailub Russell (2013 GNCC XC1 Champion), Steward Baylor (former GNCC XC2 and National Enduro Champion) and his younger brother, Grant Baylor (current GNCC XC2 Champion) have all committed to compete.
Red Bull KTM Factory riders Ken Roczen and Ryan Dungey split moto wins in Rd. 5 of the US Pro MX Championship series at the Muddy Creek National to finish 1-2 overall in the 450-class at Blountville, Tennessee.
Mt. Morris, PA – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ken Roczen earned 2nd overall at the fourth round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Series held at High Point Raceway. His teammate, Ryan Dungey, earned 4th overall for the day after rebounding from a late race crash in the second moto.
Red Bull KTM Factory rider Taddy Blazusiak finished third at the opening round of the AMA EnduroCross Series at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Friday night while KTM Factory FMF/KTM rider Taylor Robert took fifth.
Las Vegas, NV – Red Bull KTM Factory riders Ryan Dungey and Ken Roczen finished 2nd and 3rd respectively at the final round of the 2014 Monster Energy Supercross Series held at Sam Boyd Stadium.
West Point, TN – Factory FMF/KTM rider and the reigning National Enduro Champion, Charlie Mullins, secured his third win in a row to remain undefeated in the Rekluse AMA National Enduro Series.
Red Bull KTM factory rider Marc Coma coasted into Valparaiso, Chile, on Saturday afternoon to pick up his fourth individual Dakar title and to secure KTM's thirteenth title in this most toughest of rallies. Factory teammate Jordi Viladoms made it a memorable day for the Austrian manufacturer by finishing second overall.
Factory teammate Jordi Viladoms made it a memorable day for the Austrian manufacturer by finishing second overall.
It was perhaps Coma's finest victory in his Dakar Career as he led the overall standings from Stage Five. He completed the 13-stage, near 9,000 km course in 54 hours 50.53, almost two hours ahead of second placed Viladoms.
Red Bull KTM's Marc Coma finished in fifth in Stage 10 of the 2014 Dakar Rally, preserving his overall lead in this annual motorsports epic. The KTM factory rider now has a 44-minute 10 lead over second placed Joan Barreda.
Red Bull KTM's Jordi Viladoms was eleventh in the stage and is still at overall third with a 14-minute advantage over Frenchman Olivier Pain.
Coma said it had not been an easy day and despite the margin of his lead, he is still cautious. When asked if he was already thinking about a possible victory he said: "No, if we start to think like that we're in the wrong direction. We have to stay focused all the time. We have two very tough days, especially tomorrow. It is 600 km and the longest special of the rally and everything is possible."
Coma started the day with a 55 minute 36 second lead over second placed Barreda after his rival picked up a 15-minute penalty overnight. Coma's teammate Jordi Viladoms went into the stage at third with his closest challenge coming from Jeremias Esquerre of Chile. But today was the end of the Dakar for Esquerre who crashed out and had to withdraw.
Viladoms said at the end of the stage that it had been a tough day and navigation had been an issue. "I got lost twice and I lost some time so now we must push one hundred present if we want to keep this position. Fourteen minutes is nothing at the Dakar so we must work really hard for these three days. The most important thing is that I don't make mistakes and then I can keep this position."
It was a good day for KTM-supported rider Kuba Przygonski of Poland who finished in sixth for his best performance so far in this rally and is seventh overall. KTM Team Manager Alex Doringer said earlier in the week that Kuba was learning a lot from being in close contact with Coma this year and it was showing in the quality of his riding.
Przygonski after Stage 10: "The battle is from the beginning to the end and we have three more days to go. We have 600 km tomorrow and it will be a really tough stage. We'll see what happens."
Riders faced Wednesday's special in two stages in sands of the Atacama Desert. The first took them on a descent down to the shores of the shores of the Pacific for the first 200 km but then the second part had its share of the fine and unpredictable dust called fesh-fesh at they headed along twisting and turning mining tracks on their way to the bivouac in Antofagasta.
KTM-supported rider Riaan van Niekerk of South Africa, riding in his second Dakar, is on a steep learning curve. He said navigation was key in the first part of the stage when riders were in the dunes. "There was quite a lot of fesh-fesh and its not nice at all. You're in the dust and getting tired. As soon as you try to push you make a mistake. That's what makes the Dakar. Its not the beginning, its trying to get to the finish."
A fresh challenge awaits the riders on Thursday in Stage 11 from Antofagasta to El Salvador where they will be on their bikes for 749 km, 605 km of which is the timed special, the longest of this year's rally. It will be a key stage and even the fastest of the motorcyclists can expect to be riding for around seven hours.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli naval commandos stormed a flotilla of ships carrying aid and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to the blockaded Gaza Strip today, killing nine passengers in a botched raid that provoked international outrage and a diplomatic crisis.
Dozens of activists and six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the bloody predawn confrontation in international waters. The violent takeover dealt yet another blow to Israel's international image, already tarnished by war crimes accusations in Gaza and its 3-year-old blockade of the impoverished Palestinian territory.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhayu canceled a much-anticipated meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday in a sign of just how gravely Israel viewed the international uproar. In Canada, Netanyahu announced he was rushing home.
Israel said it opened fire after its commandos were attacked by knives, clubs and live fire from two pistols wrested from soldiers after they rappelled from a helicopter to board one of the vessels. Later today, it released a grainy black-and-white video that it said supported its version of events.
Reaction was swift and harsh, with a massive protest in Turkey, Israel's longtime Muslim ally, which unofficially supported the mission. Ankara announced it would recall its ambassador and call off military exercises with the Jewish state.
Read the full story Tuesday in The Vindicator and on Vindy.com.
North Korea torpedoing and sinking a South Korean ship brought no outrage . The PALS have brushed up on their PR . Now this will embolden them to once again shoot missiles into Israel . As long as Israel exists they will be at war with them . The only peace that they desire is the whole piece of Israel .
You can't compare international conflicts as apples to apples Stan. It takes someone with a very simplistic worldview to do so.
So where's the outrage against North Korea, Quail ? They don't even have to pay for the ship let alone the loss of lives .
While the aid being sent was miniscule the PR given to them by Israel was priceless !
Britain joined other countries in denouncing the attack as "deplorable" with Palestinian leaders describing the bloodshed as a "massacre".
An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council is due to begin shortly.
Meanwhile, the attacked ship, the Mavi Mamara, has docked in the Israeli port of Ashdod.
The deadly dawn raid on the Turkish ship sparked a mass protest in Istanbul with 10,000 people marching through the street, burning Israeli flags.
Looks like Obama is going to start giving Israel "The Arizona Treatment"
Whenever someone attempts to defend themselves leftists like obama and his media comrades cry "racism"
How Obama Voters "Honor" Memorial Day:
(Please forward as this will NOT be seen on network television, nor the LA Times/NY Times)
Stan, don't believe everything that you read in the mainstream, corporate-owned media.
How exactly do you know that North Korea torpedoed that ship?
Secondly, America should stick to protecting our own borders. There have been skirmishes off and on between North and South Korea since the armistice, and there will surely be more.
Join the protest against this state terrorism by Israel. 4pm, June 1, Lambros Federal Building, downtown Youngstown.
When are they having the protest against ,the murderous Muslims ? I would like to be involed in that protest.
See this article for more information on this and another perspective: http://brogsblog.wordpress.com/2010/0... There is also video of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYjkLU...
A Vietnam Vet said it well yesterday on CNN, a bullet may kill your enemy... or it may make more enemies.
This incident isolates Israel even more...and rightly.

Chad Johnson & Evelyn Lozada Officially Divorced
Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada's marriage is officially over.
The couple, who split in August after the football player allegedly head-butted his wife of less than two months, had their divorce papers signed by a Florida judge on Wednesday morning.
Lozada filed for divorce just days after the incident, but Johnson — who has since been charged with domestic battery — seemed set on fixing the relationship.
He had a change of heart earlier this month, and filed his own papers, admitting the marriage was "irretrievably broken."
During an appearance on "Nightline," Lozada said Johnson was "a good guy that made a bad choice," but she had to "walk away because I have to protect myself."

Released: Apr 22nd, 2014
Running Time: 88 Min.
Director: Hank Hoffman
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Bonus Scenes, Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Tommy Gunn, Dahlia Sky (aka Bailey Blue), Danny Wylde, Anikka Albrite, Michael Vegas, Penny Pax, Ash Hollywood
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Parody - Comedy
It's just like "The Dating Game," only with intercourse instead of innuendo. The sexual hijinks take place behind the scenes and on-camera, with a freaky makeup artist, fetish-y contestants, and a host who can't stay out of the bachelorettes' pants.
Versatile adult thespians Michael Vegas and Danny Wylde work the silly side of the street in director Hank Hoffman's version of the risqué 1960s game show, with double entendres and sly winks and nods replaced with hardcore pounding. Vegas plays the suave host, who bangs two out of the three bachelorettes, and Wylde—wearing a goofy long-haired wig—is contestant Paul Robert Davis, who "loves doing the hokey pokey and has made over 23 plastic molds of his own penis."
Among the single gals vying for a date are shy Dahlia Sky, who giggles a lot but breaks out of her shell to bang the host in his dressing room, and flirtatious Southern belle Penny Pax, who gets head from makeup/makeout artist Ash Hollywood and cock from the host.
But it's curvy Anikka Albrite who gets the shot at the bachelor, though not until she shares her sexual fantasy with the audience: riding a cowboy (Tommy Gunn) out in the desert.
Fans of the original show will get a kick out of this confection, and as an added treat there's a bonus scene from Hoffman's Newlywed Game XXX featuring Pax as a bride with new husband Prince Yahshua (sporting a period-piece afro).
