From the Archives: Former Kelme professional Jesus Manzano
Former Kelme professional Jesus Manzano has spoken out about alleged doping practices within his team, describing at length his experiences which he claims left him seriously ill on two occasions in 2003. Manzano, who rode for Kelme between 2000 and 2003, was fired from the team during the Vuelta a España after sleeping with a woman during the race, thereby breaching team conduct. Some say that he is now seeking revenge on his former team, and his comments have gained a lot of attention in the Spanish media.
In an extensive interview with AS, Manzano explained that he and the cyclists on Kelme used blood transfusions to keep themselves "healthy" during the season. Before the Tour de France, he had a litre of blood removed and stored as two 500 mL portions. Manzano noted at the time, "One thing I did not see as normal was to leave the portions in a plastic tray without marking them, if you are going to extract from more people. The first thing you should do is to mark them and put them in a blood bank. We are not dogs, we are people and we have the right to be treated as such...Then I became aware that you must first do a cross check to see if it's your blood that is going to be put back into you."
Manzano said that he put in €3,000 at the start of the Tour to cover "medication", and he supposed that the other riders put in the same amount. But because by the end of the race the team's prizemoney was almost non-existent, they actually made a loss.
Manzano described the first part of the Tour as "normal" but things suddenly changed in stage 7. "It was the first mountain stage and in the morning they tested a substance that I had not experimented with. This substance was taken according to your weight. It is injected into a vein and the unique thing that it does is to keep your hematocrit low but raise your haemoglobin.
"In the morning they injected 50 ml of this product into me. Before the start I was in the village, I spoke on the phone with my girlfriend, Marina, and I told her: 'Prepare yourself, because I know today that I am going to ride well."
On the day's first climb, the Cat. 2 Col des Portes (km 50), Manzano and Richard Virenque set off to try and catch the early break with Paolo Bettini, Rolf Aldag, Médéric Clain and Benoît Poilvet. Virenque would not work with Manzano as he had Bettini in front, leaving Manzano to try and close the gap himself. But after three kilometres of climbing, "I started to have sensations of dizziness, with a lot of heat, very cold sweat, contrasts of hot and cold, but above all, a lot of cold. In spite of the July heat, I began to shiver and feel strange. Virenque looked at me and attacked. I went for another half a kilometre and there was a corner. It was so hot that the tar of the asphalt had melted...the only thing I remember was that I was dizzy and I could not longer ride straight, if I crashed, whether they would carry me off, where they would take me."
Manzano recalled his experiences subsequent to his crash, and said that he was given an injection in the ambulance as well as an electrocardiogram. "I felt strange, as if my tongue had swollen, as if I couldn't breathe. If they had put a hole in my throat I would have thanked them."
Manzano believed that whatever he took in the morning before the stage resulted in his near catastrophic dehydration. After the Tour, he began to get depressed and afraid, and lost his desire to race. One night his team director told him that he was going to do the Tour of Portugal. "I don't know if I am going to race any more," said Manzano, to which his director replied "I you don't race any more this year, you won't race next year." "Man, if I don't race year, why would I want to race the next!" were Manzano's final words.
A few days later in Valencia, Manzano was asked to 'reclaim' his second half litre of blood. "It was July 25 I think. I was in Valencia, I slept in a hotel and the team personnel were already saying to me that there was a problem during the Tour that affected the team, that there was a positive case, but it was nothing to do with me."
Manzano got on a train to Valencia and met an assistant of the team doctor who gave him his blood. "There were no cross checks...it could have been the blood of Pepito Flores," he said. He was injected with 125 ml of blood and immediately "I started to feel very, very bad. Chills and shivers, even with the blankets they gave me I felt colder than if I was at the North Pole."
"If they had put in half a litre I would have returned in a pine box," he continued. "They put 125-175 ml in me and this happened...I understood that the blood was at the Tour and wasn't stored properly."
Despite feeling this way and still shivering, Manzano got in a taxi to go back to the station at Valencia. "I got on the train, went in first class and felt a lot warmer. My girlfriend went and asked if they could turn off the air conditioning. And they asked her if I would be able to survive until Madrid. The guard decided to turn it off and even so I asked him for a blanket, but they didn't have one. There was a man in front of me who said 'This boy will not last, he'll die.' The train wouldn't start unless I got off. The team manager called a doctor and he came. He took me on his shoulders and carried me back to the clinic. And they started to give me more Urbason [a Prednisolone derivative with anti-inflammatory action]."
Manzano passed a another terrible night and in the morning the team director called him to ask him not to tell anyone else on the team. "How could I not do it? It could have happened to someone else too."

Actovegin (extract of calves blood which supposedly improves oxygen carrying capacity)

Maybe there is a link with doping and depression? Tyler seemed to suffer from it.ReplyDelete
Yeah, here's the link:ReplyDelete
If you have some kind of moral compass, and you still go around cheating motherfuckers who are working their assess off to make a living, it makes you feel bad.
Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but it seems kind of straightforward...

high level cycling (sport) is a condition in itself. when you push beyond your limits you damage yourself. both mentally and physically. thats why pro cyclist make such great genie pigs.

hi everyone,i'm glad to be a member of this community now.i'm quite eager to learn as much from all u security freaks as is possible as these are uncertain times for us all.
not that much to say about me really,i like anime n videogames and spend most of my waking hours in front of my computer.
i was actually wondering if some of u could help me out with a few security questions that i have?
basically even though i use the net quite regularly,for simple surfing and online gaming,i'm actually rather an idiot when it comes to security and this does worry me,i hear all the time about spyware and how ppl can read your passwords n stuff every time you type n send out on an unencrypted network and was wondering what a blundering novice such as myself can do to eliminate this worry.
all i use right now is win xp,mozilla firefox,zonealarm free,spybot s&d and AVG free edition.
what can an average guy like me do to turn my machine into a secure beastie??

I posted this on the rifle board, but it may be a relaoding problem.My shooting partner has a problem with his third shot. He is shooting a custom 280 ack. with a Douglas barrel and a pre 64 win action. His first two shots will almost be touching and the third one will be a little high and to the left or right about an inch. Some times it is the first shot that is high and the last two shots that are almost touching. He has never gotten this gun to shoot under an inch. If that odd shot was in the group, it would be shooting around a half minute. Does anyone have a cure for this disease? We have been reloading for years and never ran into this problem. Cold barrel or warm barrel does not seem to make a difference. Tom is a good shooter. He had a 243 ack group this morning about an inch at 300yds. We are stumped as to what to try next. Anyone have a suggestion? Mike P

No Mike - I feel it may be a rifle bedding problem and not reloading and IMHO the rifle should be checked by a gunsmith for all the screw tightening sequence, overall tightness and barrel freeness/bedding... IE especially when the big boomer heats up.... otherwise you have a "crook" barrel, but really when hunting how often do you fire over 2 shots that rapidly?
If rarely, then your buddy is in the clear and doesn't have to worry too much!
The best groups are 5 shots, have you tried that?
If we shooting sportspersons don't hang together... we will all hang separately !
Never knock another's different shooting interest or discipline...REMEMBER we are all but leaves on the same tree of freedom.

First thing I'd do is check the scope. If all the ring & mount screws are tight, try replacing it with another scope that you know is good, not a new unknown, and see what happens.
Next I'd check the bedding, glass bedding if it hadn't been done, and floating the barrel.
Action screws are tight, right? The center screw (if any) is just snug?
Finally, if I'd seen no improvement, I'd get it re-crowned.
It sounds like scope or bedding to me, tho. Good luck!
The Bill of Rights, and the Golden Rule are enough for civilized behavior. The rest is window dressing. Shoot carefully, swifter...

I never really use them but I need one for some songs we're doing in my band. I need one that is really easy to use. It doesn't need to sound vintage, just be easy to use and sound cool.
Bad Horsie II.
It sounds great for high gain stuff.
It's easy to use. When you start pivoting the pedal, it activates the pedal. When you take your foot off, it stops. (Actually, you can set the time it takes for the pedal to turn off from instantaneous to about 3 seconds.)
I like the sound of crybabys or vox's BUT they are electric and on the floor and your feet ALWAYS get dirt in the pots and then they sound like scratchy noisy $H!+ . So lately Ive been using a morley wah. They are more sensitive to play but super quiet and theres even a version that automatically turns off the wah when you take off your foot! (More than once Ive ended a song with a wah and then forgot that baddog was still engaged-yukk).
Well maybe if my wahs stayed at home all the time they would never get dirt in the pots from static or never go microphonic and broadcast the local hillbilly auctions! My stuff is clean and the pedal board is in a road case but once your out and about $h!+ happens. I think the tremonti wah by morely is the one that disengages when you lift off.

Looks like American music fans will finally get a taste of one of Europe's most popular streaming music services. Financial news website Bloomberg.com reported that Spotify, a free music service with 7 million users, will reach the United States in the third quarter of 2010.
Of course, this isn't the first time Spotify has been rumored to be crossing the Atlantic to join the American Intertubes. According to Wired, Spotify has announced that it will release a U.S. version of their software twice before, failing to deliver both times.
Spotify allows ad-supported streaming of its entire library of music tracks. Users may play any track among the at least 3.8 million in the library (the latest official number is from August of 2009), at any time their computer is connected to the internet; Spotify also recently gave users the ability to play their own music libraries through the program. Users may also purchase a monthly subscription for €9.99 to get rid of ads and allow songs to be saved on their computer for offline use. It's unclear which of these services will make it into the American version of Spotify; the high cost of streaming music has caused some to speculate that a free version of Spotify will not exist in the United States.
While Europeans citizens and tech bloggers alike have pronounced themselves smitten with the service, it has some drawbacks—you can't take your music with you unless you sign up for the Premium version of Spotify, which allows you to download an application to your phone and save songs for offline listening. In addition, the service has been criticized for paying small royalties to artists—a Norwegian label revealed (warning: poorly translated Norwegian) that it earned a grand total of $3 after its songs had been streamed 55,000 times through Spotify.

The Cleveland Museum of Art is proud to welcome electronic artist Mark Fell to Transformer Station on Wednesday, November 13 as part of the CMA Concerts at Transformer Station series. The concert series aims at showcasing eclectic and adventurous music in the Hingetown arts venue.
The Thinker: A CMA Blog
Photos from MIX: Underneath on Friday, November 1, 2013.
In tribute of the many female artists who paved the way for those today, THE GIRLS IN THE BAND(2011) tells the poignant, untold stories of female jazz and big band instrumentalists and their fascinating, groundbreaking journeys from the 1920s to today. We catch up with the film's director before the film's screening at the CMA this weekend.
Many works of African art refer to and derive meaning from an invisible realm beyond the material world, serving as conduits between the living and the spirits, as conveyed throughout the Cleveland Museum of Art's newest exhibition, Fragments of the Invisible. In the spirit of Halloween and MIX: Underneath, we go beneath the surface and examine the spirituality and power behind masks, particularly the Helmet Mask on view in the exhibition.
Fragments of the Invisible marks the American debut of 34 works of Central African art acquired in 2010 by the Cleveland Museum of Art from the Belgian couple René and Odette Delenne. Many of the works that make up this transformative acquisition have never before been published nor displayed, until the exhibition opens on Sunday, October 27, 2013.
It is clear from examples that survive from the Middle Ages and early Renaissance, that the crucifix, in the hands of a great artist, achieved the status of a consummate work of art. The Cleveland Museum of Art possesses a beautiful example of a large-scale, painted crucifix made in Pisa during the 1230s. The majestic Cleveland crucifix is one of the few elaborate painted Italian crosses in the United States.
In a unique partnership between Lakeland Community College, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Laura and Alvin Siegal Lifelong Learning Program, a three session mini-course this month will deepen the connections between fine arts, film, and graphic fiction. The course, co-developed by the CMA, consists of three 90 minute weekly live video conferences, which explore the origins, genres, and influences of graphic fiction and narrative.
One quick visit to the current exhibition at the CMA, Less is More: Minimal Prints, will illustrate the power behind such seemingly straight-forward art and explain how that initial reaction is not far from what was intended. The museum's Curator of Prints, Jane Glaubinger, provides us with some explanatory background on this exhibition and its featured artists.
In Luxuriance: Silks from Islamic Lands, 1250–1900, the most distinguished areas of the world highlighted include textiles from Islamic lands including Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Spain, and Turkey. Beginning the first week of September, we spotlight a different period within the collection here on the CMA blog. This final week, we focus on the textiles of Egypt and Syria.
Praxiteles: The Cleveland Apollo is an in-depth examination of the Cleveland Museum of Art's ancient bronze sculpture, a figure known since antiquity as Apollo Sauroktonos, or Apollo the Lizard-Slayer. The masterwork will be showcased alongside two ancient Roman marble copies, one on loan from the Louvre Museum, Paris, France and the other from the Liverpool World Museum. This is noteworthy since all three sculptures have never been displayed together before.

Tecumseh holds signing event for standouts
College football's signing day arrived Wednesday, but many Lenawee County senior standouts remain undecided.
Four Tecumseh players signed, while Morenci's Hayze Wolf has selected NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision school Toledo. The rest of the county's gridiron stars drawing college interest have not finalized a decision and have narrowed their options.
Here is a school-by-school glance at county players looking to play at the next level.
ADDISON: Running back/linebacker Jared Bruner and tight end/linebacker Cody Branch have expressed interest in playing at Division III Alma. Bruner, a state champion wrestler, may consider other college options for wrestling.
Last fall, Bruner rushed for 1,213 yards with 11 touchdowns in only six games, while making 56 tackles (9.3 per game) on defense. He received All-Cascades Conference honors and All-State honorable mention from the Associated Press.
Branch made 81 tackles (nine per game) and recorded two interceptions last season. The All-Cascades performer added 22 catches for 227 yards on offense.
BLISSFIELD: Lineman Dylan Thompson is leaning towards Siena Heights University, but is still considering other Division III schools such as Adrian.
Thompson received All-Lenawee County Athletic Association honorable mention last season. He helped Blissfield finish as the county's top rushing team (280.3 yards per game).
BRITTON DEERFIELD: Fullback/linebacker Josh Reau, linemen Landon Handy and Jared Wielfaert and receiver/defensive back Kris Iott have each received interest from Division III schools.
Reau made 114 tackles last season and earned All-State honors from both the Associated Press and the Detroit Free Press.
Wielfaert, Handy and Iott each garnered All-Tri-County Conference honors. Wielfaert had 58 tackles and five sacks, while Handy recorded 45 tackles, four sacks and four fumble recoveries. Iott made three interceptions in the defensive backfield.
CLINTON: Offensive lineman Grant Clark has narrowed his options to Siena Heights and Division II schools Hillsdale and Quincy (Ill.).
Clark helped Clinton record its first undefeated regular season since 1990. He earned All-TCC honors and received All-State honorable mention from the Detroit Free Press.
HUDSON: Two-time All-State lineman Zach Rieger is considering Siena Heights and Adrian.
Rieger helped Hudson compile a 31-5 record over the past three seasons, including the 2010 Division 7 state championship. He was selected to play in this year's Michigan High School Coaches Association East-West All-Star Game.
MADISON: Receiver/defensive back Zach Denig is considering a trio of Division III schools. The Trojans standout has interest from Hope, Albion and Olivet.
MORENCI: Tight end/linebacker Wolf will continue his career with Toledo after a strong senior season. He led the TCC with 117 tackles, rushed for 382 yards with two TDs and caught 11 passes for 136 yards with two scores.
Wolf was named All-State by the Detroit Free Press.
ONSTED: Receiver/defensive back Reese Klebba is weighing interest from Division II and Division III schools.
An All-LCAA performer, Klebba made 77 tackles last season, while hauling in 30 catches for 398 yards and five touchdowns.
TECUMSEH: The Indians have four players signed and two still deciding.
Quarterback Ben Dreslinski has already enrolled at Division II Northwood. Receiver/defensive back Spencer Adams signed with Football Championship Subdivision school Dayton, running back/defensive back John Terry with Hillsdale and receiver/defensive end Kyle Bryan with NAIA Robert Morris (Ill.).
Tecumseh held a signing event Wednesday for Adams, Terry and Bryan.
Two-way lineman Joe Rebottaro has interest from Division III schools Defiance, Alma and Adrian. Fellow lineman Alex Spiteri is leaning towards Defiance.
Dreslinski, the county Offensive Player of the Year, passed for 1,686 yards with 22 touchdowns and rushed for 657 yards with nine touchdowns. He was named to the Detroit News All-State Dream Team.
Adams, Terry and Bryan each received All-Southeastern Conference White Division honors. Adams made 25 catches for 533 yards with 10 touchdowns and also returned a punt for a score. Terry, who earned All-State honors from the Detroit Free Press, made 78 tackles and rushed for 214 yards with four TDs. Bryan recorded 48 tackles with five sacks, while making 26 catches for 328 yards on offense.
Rebottaro and Spiteri both earned All-SEC White honors.
Adrian, Lenawee Christian and Sand Creek did not have any players to report.

Invite from the Health Sciences Team
I decided, as a sophomore in high school (see image below), to
go into genetics because it was fascinating, it had to do with
humans, and it was NEW. The last point being the most important- it
was new and not well understood, which meant adults didn't actually
know everything and therefore I could be a part of a new
It is with this same enthusiasm, that I bring you epigenetics.
It is fascinating, it has to do with humans, and scientists have no
idea about the wonders they will discover as they dive deeper into
this new field of study.
With that said, I'll be the first to admit that I find
epigenetics daunting, and I often struggle in explain it our
volunteers in Expedition Health here at the Museum. This can be
frustrating, I'm a geneticist who can't properly explain
epigenetics. The reason I'm sharing this ego-shattering point--
because I'm not alone. A sigh of relief escaped
my lips yesterday morning as I watched the worlds leading
scientists in the field of genetics describe in epigenetics in a
range of ways, openly discussing scientists do not agree on what
exactly epigenetics is.
In addition though- I also found myself nodding and murmuring
"ahh", "that makes sense" and other expressions of affirmation,
because while epigenetics is still elusive, the culmination of
their thoughtful responses at least gave me the courage to write
Epigenetics is beyond the sequence of the DNA, it allows
for your cells to begin expressing a trait, or stop expressing a
trait, without any change to the order of nucleotides in your
What this will mean mechanistically within the cell, scientists
have only begun to touch on, but it's got my attention and I'm
looking forward to learning more. If you'd like to learn more, this
week's issue of Science dives head first into epigenetics, and
kicks it off with the video I elude to above, which can be found

Free download MP4 to M4B Converter, install it and launch it. Then follow the three steps to convert MP4 to M4B.
The first step is to select the files to convert mp4 to m4b. Run MP4 to M4B Convertor and use the Folder Explorer to browse to the files you want to convert. Then select the file in the File List, drag it to the Drop Zone and drop it there. Optionally, the MP4 to M4B Converter allows you to edit the audio tags of any selected file in the Drop Zone.
Once the files are selected, the next step is to select the output settings in MP4 to M4B Converter.
The second step is to select the output settings. To begin, select the folder to save the output file to and choose the action to be executed if the output file already exists - create a new file, overwrite or skip the existing file.
You can also set the MP4 to M4B Converter to delete a source file after conversion and preserve the the original folder structure, when doing batch conversion.
Finally, you should select the output format and audio quality. In the M4B dialog box, choose the format settings for the final M4B files. Depending on quality you need, select the bitrate of the file, sample rate and the number of channels. You will probably lose some audio content if you choose the mono option. You can choose what sample rate you want to use. 44.1 kHz (or 44100 Hz) is the sample rate used by audio CDs. Less than that and you'll start to hear the loss in quality. You can choose the bit rate you want to use.
Once the output settings are customized, you go to the final step - mp4 to m4b conversion.
Click Convert button to start to convert MP4 to M4B or other audio format you desired. A conversion dialog will appear to show the progress of mp4 to m4b conversion. If you want to stop the process, please click Stop button. After the conversion, you can click the Output Folder button to get the converted files and transfer to your iPod, iPad, iPhone, mp3 player or hard driver.
During the turning mp4 into m4b, you can change the priority of the process or set an automatic event to be executed when the conversion is over. After the conversion of mp4 to m4b has finished, you can find the m4b files in the output folder you specified.

A: People Convert MP4 files To M4B format for various purpose, however, most of them Convert MP4 for the two common ones, first the MP4 files are too large, they want to save some space, second their portable devices do not recognize MP4 format at all, but these devices are capable of playing M4B files without any compatibility issues.

A: This is a good question, but unfortunately, the short answer is YES. Since M4B is a lossy audio format, converting any audio formats (e.g. MP4) to M4B is a quality-loss process.

A: MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, it allows streaming over the Internet. The only official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp4, but many have other extensions, most commonly .m4a and .m4p. M4A (audio only) is often compressed using AAC encoding (lossy), but can also be in Apple Lossless format. M4P is a protected format which employs DRM technology to restrict copying. MPEG-4 Part 14 (formally ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003) is a standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. While the only official filename extension defined by the standard is .mp4, various filename extensions are commonly used to indicate intended content: MPEG-4 files with audio and video generally use the standard .mp4 extension. Audio-only MPEG-4 files generally have a .m4a extension. This is especially true of non-protected content. MPEG-4 files with audio streams encrypted by FairPlay Digital Rights Management as were sold through the iTunes Store use the .m4p extension. iTunes Plus tracks, that the iTunes Store currently sells, are unencrypted and use .m4a accordingly. Audiobook and podcast files, which also contain metadata including chapter markers, images, and hyperlinks, can use the extension .m4a, but more commonly use the .m4b extension. An .m4a audio file cannot "bookmark" (remember the last listening spot), whereas .m4b extension files can. The Apple iPhone uses MPEG-4 audio for its ringtones but uses the .m4r extension rather than the .m4a extension. Raw MPEG-4 Visual bitstreams are named .m4v but this extension is also sometimes used for video in MP4 container format. Mobile phones use 3GP, an implementation of MPEG-4 Part 12 (a.k.a. MPEG-4/JPEG2000 ISO Base Media file format), similar to MP4. It uses .3gp and .3g2 extensions. These files also store non-MPEG-4 data (H.263, AMR, TX3G). M4A stands for MPEG 4 Audio and is a filename extension used to represent audio files. The existence of two different filename extensions, .MP4 and .M4A, for naming audio-only MP4 files has been a source of confusion among users and multimedia playback software. Some file managers, such as Windows Explorer, look up the media type and associated applications of a file based on its filename extension. But since MPEG-4 Part 14 is a container format, MPEG-4 files may contain any number of audio, video, and even subtitle streams, making it impossible to determine the type of streams in an MPEG-4 file based on its filename extension alone. In response, Apple Inc. started using and popularizing the .m4a filename extension, which is used for MP4 containers with audio data in the lossy Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or its own Apple Lossless (ALAC) formats. Software capable of audio/video playback should recognize files with either .m4a or .mp4 filename extensions, as would be expected, since there are no file format differences between the two. Most software capable of creating MPEG-4 audio will allow the user to choose the filename extension of the created MPEG-4 files.
Back to top
A: M4B is a file extension for an MPEG-4 part 14 audio layer audio book container file format used by iTunes. An M4B file is very similar to an M4A file but specified for audio books. M4B files support metadata for chapters and bookmarking on supporting players and most commonly uses AAC (Advanced Audio Codec). Audiobook and podcast files, which also contain metadata including chapter markers, images, and hyperlinks, can use the extension .m4a, but more commonly use the .m4b extension. An .m4a audio file cannot "bookmark" (remember the last listening spot), whereas .m4b extension files can.

A soft, fluffy layer cake that bakes up taller than your average cake with mini chocolate chips speckling the batter and chocolate frosting all around.
I can't tell you how long I've been searching for a good chocolate chip layer cake recipe.
One where the chocolate chips actually stay suspended in the batter and don't sink to the bottom so when you turn out the cake you have a sticky, chocolate mess stuck to the bottom of the pan and a broken, crazy looking cake that is utterly impossible to save.
I gave up on them.
Then I saw this recipe in my Tate's Baking for Friends and all those cake fails were quickly forgotten.
It's imperative that you use mini chocolate chips. The big ones will sink, even if you coat them with flour, too heavy even for this batter.
This cake works because the batter is thick enough to hold up those lightweight, little chips. It's made with two eggs and two yolks, entirely with brown sugar – no white, and buttermilk, all giving it a wonderful rich flavor.
Plus, there's lots of it. Cake, that is. Lots of cake.
The recipe makes a ton of batter that is best baked off in springform pans where it can bake up as high as it wants without fear of overflowing. If you don't have two springform pans you can bake it in three or four smaller pans or use the extra batter for cupcakes.
The frosting is my favorite cocoa frosting, the one I always turn to. You can easily turn it into a mocha frosting that would complement the cake nicely by adding a few teaspoons of espresso powder and you can also add some mini chocolate chips in keeping with the theme.
Here's the chocolate chip cake of my dreams.
- softened butter and flour for the pans
- 3 + ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk (I like Saco powdered buttermilk )
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
- 16 tablespoons (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1 + ½ cups (9 ounces) miniature chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli )
- ½ cup light heavy cream
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder, optional
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. with oven rack in the center. Butter and flour the sides of two 9x3-inch round cake or springform pans or three 8x2-inch round pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Measure the buttermilk with a glass measuring cup and add the vanilla to it.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer beat the brown sugar and butter together on medium speed 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
- On low speed add the flour mixture in thirds alternating with buttermilk in 2 equal additions, beating until smooth after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth out the tops. I scoop up the batter with a one cup measure to get them as evenly as possible. (If using regular cake pans don't overfill them - use the excess to make cupcakes and place a baking sheet on your bottom rack to catch any drips.)
- Bake until a wooden toothpick in centers of cakes comes out clean, about 38 - 40 minutes for the 9-inch pans and 30 - 34 minutes for the 8-inch size.
- Cool on wire racks for 10 - 15 minutes then run a butter knife around the edges and turn out from the pans or remove the rings, if using springform pans. Turn cakes right side up and cool completely on wire racks.
- In a small saucepan heat the cream over medium heat until it starts to bubble around the edges. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl on medium speed beat the butter, salt, cocoa, vanilla, the espresso, ⅓ cup of the warm cream and half the sugar until smooth.
- Gradually add the remaining sugar beating on medium speed until smooth and fluffy 5 - 6 minutes - if the frosting seems too thick to spread then beat in the remaining cream a teaspoon at a time until you reach a spreadable consistency. Frost the cake right away.

Upgrade installation services
Verifying your base license when ordering Windows Upgrade installation services
Which customers need to verify their licenses?
This information is for Microsoft Volume Licensing customers who order software upgrade installation services for computers, also known as "imaging." These services involve the installation of a Volume Licensing Windows Upgrade operating system product by a PC manufacturer, known as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or Licensing Solution Provider (LSP).
When you order Volume Licensing Windows Upgrade operating system product installation services for computers from an OEM or LSP, you are required to certify that a qualifying Windows operating system base license has been purchased for these computers. OEMs and LSPs are required to directly collect this certification from their customers before they install images on the computers.
Volume Licensing software cannot be installed until the customer provides this verification in writing (see details below).
What is a "qualifying Windows operating system"?
Windows Upgrade operating system software licensed through Volume Licensing agreements can be placed only on computers that have an appropriate Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for a qualifying Windows base license. For example, in the case of a computer being imaged with Windows Enterprise under a Volume Licensing agreement, a COA for a qualifying base operating system, such as Windows Pro, must first be affixed to the computer, and the appropriate license must be purchased. Learn more about qualifying Windows operating systems.
To reduce the potential for mis-licensing, before an image can be installed, you must complete the "Microsoft Customer License Verification for Upgrade Installation Services for Microsoft Windows Operating System Software by Third Parties" form and return it to the OEM or LSP that is performing Windows Upgrade operating system installation services.
OEMs and LSPs must verify with customers that each computer that is distributed with Windows Upgrade operating system software has a COA for the appropriate qualifying Windows license, and they must cooperate in investigations related to possible piracy or mis-licensing.
How do I complete the verification process?
- Download and complete the Microsoft Customer License Verification for Upgrade Installation Services for Microsoft Windows Operating System Software by Third Parties form.
- Sign, date, and send the completed form to your OEM or LSP.
Note: To return the form, follow the return instructions provided by your OEM or LSP. Do not send this form to Microsoft.
Who can answer my questions?
- For questions about the verification process, contact your OEM or LSP.
- For questions about your Volume Licensing agreement, contact your Microsoft Volume Licensing account manager.
- For all other questions, contact Microsoft customer support.

Madeline Walton-Hadlock
About Maddy
My name is Madeline Walton-Hadlock, and I'm a Librarian at the Alum Rock Branch of the San Jose Public Libraryin San Jose, CA. Most of my work at SJPL is in Youth Services, though I reguarly work with people of all ages at the branch. I also select Spanish materials for 15 branches at SJPL.
I studied Literature (English and Spanish) and Music at UC San Diego and graduated in 2004. I earned my MLIS from San Jose State University in 2006. As a graduate student, I worked in several types of libraries (special, academic, law, public). I liked elements of each library setting, but I found working with young people and their families to be the most personally rewarding. My favorite aspects of children's librarianship: support for early childhood and family literacy; children's book evaluation; storytelling, music, and theatrics; working with Spanish speaking families.
I've been happily involved with the Association for Library Services to Children (ALSC)since 2007, serving on the Children & Technology Committee, attending the ALSC Bill Morris invitational workshop on children's book evaluation, and receiving the ALSC Penguin Young Reader's Group Award in 2008. I write reviews for School Library Journal, and I've recently accepted an appointment on the 2010 Carnegie Medal committee.
Outside of work, I like to dance (my favorite is Afro-Caribbean style), sing classical music, garden, explore new places, and spend time with my family.
I occasionally blog about about librarian stuff at www.aintaintaword.blogspot.com

The Year in Books
Slate picks the best books of 2005.
Emily Bazelon, senior editor and legal writer
My favorite new nonfiction book this year is Tulia, by Nate Blakeslee. It's the story of the wrongful prosecution of 47 residents of the town of Tulia, Tex.—38 of them black—based on the made-up testimony of one rogue cop. Some of the defendants got virtual life sentences before the case unraveled. Blakeslee broke the story for the Texas Observer. His book has movie deal written all over it. There's a rich and unlikely mix of characters—devious bad guys, likable victims, and valiant lawyer-heroes who wield their briefcases to save the day. It all makes for a satisfying tale about fighting the good fight.
Bryan Curtis, deputy culture editor and "Middlebrow" columnist Best drug book of the year: Juiced, by Jose Canseco. In the noble tradition of Timothy Leary and Ram Dass, Jose Canseco wrote a book-length valentine to his favorite performance-enhancing drugs, steroids. "I needed steroids and growth hormone just to live," the former major-leaguer confided while downplaying the annoying side effects, such as the "atrophying of the testicles." The book spawned a congressional hearing in which one of the players Canseco accused of using steroids, Rafael Palmeiro, said, "I have never used steroids. Period." A few months later, Palmeiro tested positive for steroids. Juiced is a sweeping indictment, a how-to guide, and a real scream.
David Greenberg, "History Lesson" columnist The best book of "recent history" this year is Restless Giant: The United States From Watergate to Bush v. Gore, by James T. Patterson. After his 1996 Bancroft Prize-winning tour de force Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945–1974, what does the Brown University historian do for an encore? Turn out an equally readable, smart, and fair-minded history of the last century's final quarter. A book like Restless Giant must be impossibly hard to write, since you need to keep in focus both yesterday's news, which lies so close to our present gaze, and events that have already receded into the historical distance. Patterson pulls it off—and in the process mounts a quietly persuasive defense of the "right revolution" that he argues has been central to American politics and society in recent times.
Ann Hulbert, contributing editor and "Sandbox" columnist The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism by Megan Marshall is the best kind of biography, blending subtle psychological portraiture with astute intellectual history. It's a fascinating story, too, not just of two sisters vying for the love of Nathaniel Hawthorne, but of a period when a front parlor in New England presided over by women was the site of some of the most exciting exchanges of ideas going on in early 19th-century America.
This year's other literary high point was rereading a book that came out a century after the Peabody sisters were born, Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth(1905).For a psychologically compelling portrait of one of the most unforgettable protagonists in American literature, you can hardly do better than Lily Bart. It came as something of a jolt to be reminded of the chasm between the stifling, ruthless New York society world in which women like Lily were trapped and the transcendentalist circles in which the Peabody sisters had traveled.
Fred Kaplan, "War Stories" columnist The best book about the Iraq war is Assassins' Gate by George Packer. It doesn't deal much with military matters, but there isn't likely to be a better account, anytime soon, of how Bush & Co. got into the war and how they screwed it all up after Saddam's statue was toppled. As his dispatches in The New Yorker have long shown, Packer is that rare writer who combines journalistic enterprise with analytic rigor, and his book adds to this mix a compelling narrative, whose protagonist is Packer himself. Come with me, he seems to be saying, as I go to Cambridge coffee shops and London conclaves, where Iraqi exiles dream of liberation; to Washington think tanks, where the plot takes hold; to the inner councils of Bush's government, where theory becomes policy; then across the landscape of Iraq, where reality shatters illusion. Packer lets us see the good intentions, as well as the brutish tactics, that entwined us in this mess. Throughout, he reveals and examines his own ambivalences. The story—his, ours, and the Iraqis'—is one not of conspiracy but of tragedy.
Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor and legal writer
My favorite legal book of the year was probably Cass Sunstein's Radicals in Robes: Why Extreme Right-Wing Courts Are Wrong for America. He offers a thoughtful and really cogent articulation of the dangers of this big national love affair we're having with originalism. As the perennially weary mother of a 2-year-old and a 7-month-old, I also offer this somewhat embarrassing submission for a really helpful child-rearing book, suggested in turn (and with some embarrassment) by our pediatrician but truly full of tremendous insight: The Happiest Toddler on the Block. One other favorite book that I reread and loved all over again this past year: Joseph Telushkin's Words That Hurt, Words That Heal. It's always useful, but especially for anyone who bends and twists words for a living, to think about how powerful language can be.
Stephen Metcalf, book critic My favorite book of 2005 was Ian McEwan's Saturday, for introducing me (I'm ashamed to admit) to McEwan's writing, which is so cool and phlegmatic and precise, but also for the attitude of suspicion it directs at the entire literary enterprise. McEwan's Henry Perowne isn't a Babbitt, an aesthete, or a hotshot libertine snorting his way through the advertising world. Instead, as a basically decent man of remarkable intellectual but only average imaginary endowments, and not prone to adultery, he is the sort of dull haute bobo hero who probably doesn't deserve his own novel. The one he gets isn't flawless, but it is animated by a steady and gripping sang-froid, and it got me to read Atonement, Black Dogs, Enduring Love, and Amsterdam. My runner-up is Walter Kirn's very fine and genuinely funny Mission to America.
The two books I enjoyed reading most in '05, but not of '05, were Lolita, on my third go-through, and some combination of Enduring Love and Black Dogs.
Timothy Noah, "Chatterbox" columnist Forty-three years after Philip Roth's first full-length novel was published, Letting Go resurfaced this fall in the first of two Roth volumes published by the Library of America—eight are planned, though the way Roth has been going lately they may need to add a ninth—where it is once again being dismissed as a lesser work. The standard critical construct is that Roth didn't really achieve greatness until he stopped wrestling with respectability and instead spurned it, '60s-style, with Portnoy's Complaint. Thus Gary Shteyngart in the New York Times Book Review:
When I polled my writer friends—prodigious Roth-worshippers all—about, say, the nearly 700-page-long novel Letting Go, I was not surprised to hear that not one of them had read it. … While reading this overdrawn tale of two young couples struggling to come alive against a flat Midwestern backdrop, you feel like telling Roth: ''Forget the Henry James route and take the Sam Clemens way out! Lose the earnestness. …"
I couldn't disagree more. Wonderful though Portnoy is, I think wrestling with respectability is actually what Roth does best. It's certainly the preoccupation of Roth's much-praised late period— American Pastoral, The Human Stain, I Married a Communist, The Plot Against America. These novels, though justly praised (except maybe The Plot Against America, which is a little pedestrian; I found Charles Peters' recent nonfiction treatment of the same material, Five Days in Philadelphia, more compelling), lack the sweep and energy of Letting Go. James Atlas pointed out in an evangelizing introduction to a paperback reissue in 1982—as best I can make out, I was Atlas' only convert, though I've since passed the word on to a few friends—that Letting Go possesses an old-fashioned narrative richness that can't be found in any of Roth's subsequent novels. The book overflows with vivid characters, settings, and points of view, and the deft manner in which they crisscross establishes the novel's theme that to behave too decently can put your soul in mortal peril. In Letting Go, unlike Portnoy, morality and autonomy are evenly matched; it's a fair fight that goes into overtime. I believe that Letting Go, which I reread for the third or fourth time this year, is Roth's best novel. If a better one was published in 2005, I'd like to see it.
Meghan O'Rourke, culture editor and "Highbrow" columnist A favorite of 2005 is Peter Green's translation The Poems of Catullus. Green is a celebrated classicist and his boyish enthusiasm is a perfect match for the bawdy ferocity of Catullus, the Roman poet best known for his ribald poems of sex and satire. Green takes plenty of liberties (he tries to replicate Catullus' original meter, with mixed results), but he perfectly captures Catullus' voice—whose outrageousness may shock even the most jaded sophisticate. You don't have to be a regular reader of poetry to like these poems.
My runner-up is Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, which I still find myself thinking about some nine months after reading it in one sitting. Didion's taxonomy of grief is one that we all can relate to, and at the same time it's a truly strange one, because she explores the ravages of loss in her trademark clinical—and even detached—prose. The result is a book that invites you in and remains obdurately distant at the same time, like so many relationships. But the book I most loved this year (though it wasn't of this year) was Denis Johnson's Angels, one of the most stunningly luminous novels I've ever read.
David Plotz, deputy editor Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro, is chilling and incredibly sad. I don't really know how to explain it without giving too much away. It is the story of three children at a bizarre boarding school in a dystopian England who are preparing for a mysterious and apparently terrible future. The book is at once a great boarding-school book—it captures the psychodynamics of teenagers as well as Prep does—and an unsettling vision of our future. The best horror movies recognize that nothing is scarier than the unseen fright. Never Let Me Go is like that. Ishiguro doesn't give readers the comfort of knowing exactly what is happening, and that makes it utterly terrifying.
Lee Siegel, art critic My favorite book this year happened to be one that I reviewed. What thrilled me about Ian McEwan's Saturday were qualities that would have been taken for granted in a work of fiction 30 or 40 years ago: plausible characters with complex psychologies, a story that held you spellbound, unselfconscious language in which words were put into the service of meaning, an intellectual framework that rose organically from the characters and the action. Predictably, there was a backlash against the sensationally successful McEwan, with a few critics complaining, not without some justification, that his plots consisted of mechanically connected set pieces. But this is like dying of thirst in the desert and complaining, when you stumble upon an oasis, that the water is warm. Bravo to this last powerful gasp of a dying artistic form. I also reread The Odyssey this year. Homer's tale is the only book I know—maybe War and Peace is the other one—whose reality is more substantial than anything life has to offer.
Dana Stevens, TV critic Though it technically came out in late 2004, I spent the first two months of this year struggling with David Thomson's The Whole Equation: A History of Hollywood. But it was a passionate, engaging struggle, like an argument with a brilliant, impossible friend. I'd abandon the book for a week in disgust (for example, after reading Thomson's bizarre assertion that, before the advent of sound, film was only a "half-made medium"), then sneak back to it for the sheer pleasure of Thomson's lush, erudite prose. If this book's title is misleading, its subtitle is an outright lie; this is no more a history of Hollywood than Thomson's rambling, libidinal New Biographical Dictionary of Film is a straightforward film reference work. For Thomson, movies are always and foremost about desire, and his description of the glories of Technicolor could easily stand for what there is to love in his own work: "its expressiveness, its warm aliveness, its damson and crème brûlée mix as lipstick meets cheek, and its passion."
And rereleased this year in paperback after eight years out of print: Pamela Des Barres' 1987 classic I'm With the Band, the slutty mother of all rock-groupie memoirs. I've somehow failed to snag a copy of this at tag sales, so it was a great pleasure to buy it (in an edition illustrated with appropriately cheap-looking photo spreads) and inhale great drafts of Des Barres' sunny, uninhibited prose as deeply as the author herself once inhaled an industrial solvent called Trimar: "When I came back to my extremely sensual senses, I was in the middle of a perfect backbend on Jim Morrison's tatty Oriental rug, my purple velvet minidress completely over my head, his redheaded girlfriend glaring down at me." Only a party pooper would question how Des Barres saw the redhead through the velvet.
Julia Turner, associate editor I loved Curtis Sittenfeld's Prep. I picked it up expecting a thin campus farce and found instead an uncannily honest—and deliciously readable—portrait of boarding school, and adolescence generally. Sittenfeld nails the details: plastic toiletry buckets; idle common-room rounds of kick-the-pizza box; one queen bee's impossibly perfect white cotton underwear; that new lacrosse stick smell. She also draws a wonderful portrait of her insecure protagonist, Lee Fiora. Sittenfeld skewers Lee's perverse social logic—at one point Lee, fantasizing about an attainably geeky boy performing at a talent show, thinks: "He understood sadness, clearly, because who could choose to perform 'Fire and Rain' without understanding sadness?"—but she also gets down how terribly important high school feels to those who are still in it.
June Thomas, foreign editor
In a year of wonderful books, the one that affected me most was "I Didn't Do It for You": How the World Betrayed a Small African Nation, Michela Wrong's history of Eritrea. It managed to make me feel ashamed of my ignorance and simultaneously thrilled to have it dispelled in such an entertaining fashion. The release of Invasion of the Dykes To Watch Out For, the 11th compilation of Alison Bechdel's beautifully drawn, perfectly observed cartoons, drove me to reread the entire series. Almost 20 years into the strip, it's still the story of my life, even though I'm more conservative than Mo and Co. these days.
Jacob Weisberg, editor
I read some wonderful novels in 2005, including Never Let Me Go, Mission to America, Gilead, and The Known World, but the one I most enjoyed was Ian McEwan's Saturday. I feel silly recommending it, because it's such an obvious choice, but nothing else I read this year thrilled me half as much. In his last two novels, McEwan has outgrown his juvenile macabre without sacrificing any of his gift for suspense or clinical description. In Saturday, he puts all of that virtuosity in service of examining the moral and political questions of our day: terrorism, the Iraq war, and medical ethics. It's a meditation on the modern condition that crackles with energy, intelligence, and insight.
Blake Wilson, editorial assistant Uzodinma Iweala's novella Beasts of No Nation is the best debut fiction I've read in a long time. Narrated by a boy kidnapped into child-soldiering in a West African civil war, it is an unsparing chronicle of his transformation from model student to rapist and killer. I've read so much journalism about the brutality of life in parts of Africa, but the huge distance between that reality and my own experience always made it difficult to think of the genocides and child armies as much more than social and political problems. This book closes that gap and makes those tragedies immediate. The passages describing battle and murder are excruciating, but more devastating is the cumulative picture of a life without family, morality, or culture, in a place without any functioning society, where the only stimulus and point of existence is animal violence. It is amazing to me that anyone could bear this. But Iweala has imagined a convincing character that did bear it and retained his humanity. This is no small thing for any writer to do, and from a 22-year-old just out of Harvard, it is a breathtaking accomplishment.
And keep in mind books published this year by Slate staffers: The Genius Factory: The Curious History of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank, by David Plotz; The Woman at the Washington Zoo: Writings on Politics, Family, and Fate, by Marjorie Williams and edited by Timothy Noah; and What the Dog Did: Tales from a Formerly Reluctant Dog Owner, by Emily Yoffe.

Best Beach in America

Three Florida Gulf Coast beaches are among Dr. Beach's Top 10 for 2017. Caladesi Island in Dunedin is No. 7, Grayton Beach in Walton County is No. 4, and Siesta Beach is No. 1MORE
Florida offers every type of adventure, experience and entertainment, but many would say its most alluring asset is the soft, sandy shorelines of Florida beaches.
With 825 miles of beaches to choose from, it's hard to resist the relaxing waters, stunning sunrises and sunsets and sand that ranges from powdery smooth and white to hard-packed and dotted with seashells and other treasures. Indeed, Florida beaches are among the best beaches in the world, consistently taking top rankings in international travel publications and on beach expert lists.
From Pensacola Beach to Daytona Beach to Siesta Key to Miami Beach, each coastal oasis has its own vibe. Whether you're looking for quiet seclusion, a place to surf the waves or an all-day party, do a little research to find the right Florida beach for you. The Sunshine State draws a diverse array of visitors from all over the world, eager to experience a spa-like experience in nature, with the soothing lullaby of waves, sea salt air, the soft song of seagulls and beautiful sunsets and sunrises casting beautiful colors against the sky. But not all are here for just mere beauty and serenity. Some like the quirky beach shops and bars, some crave sport fishing and snorkeling, while others like music, dancing and the company of others late into the night.
Beaches in Florida have it all, as long as you know just where to look.There's no shortage of charming getaways, nightlife hotspots and fishing meccas along the state's coastline. Both the Gulf and Atlantic sides have plenty of cool or quaint towns with their own sandy shores, attracting both young and old looking to escape busy lives.
Northwest Florida beaches are known for some of the best seafood catches, particularly oysters and shellfish, and the Gulf beaches are also known for great fishing. There are few better foodie experiences out there in the world than stumbling upon a local favorite dive and discovering its special of the day was caught in the very waters along which it sits. Or if fine arts and culture are your thing, several Florida beaches in the Sarasota and Miami areas are within walking distance from galleries and artsy shops.
While almost all the beaches in Florida offer the basic necessities – sand, water and mesmerizing beauty – each has its own identity. It's worth the extra day or two on your trip to research, explore and make the most of your dream vacation.

Ryan O'Neal Has Prostate Cancer
Woe is Ryan O'Neal AGAIN and this time it's not his fault. Ryan has had leukemia, been arrested with his son for meth possession, has a fucked up relationship with all of his children and now he's battling stage 4 prostate cancer. Stage 4 cancer sounds like some beyond serious shit, but Ryan tells People that he's undergoing treatment right now and he's not going to take a ride on Farrah Fawcett's angel hair wings anytime soon. According to Ryan, he's going to fully recover.
"Recently I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Although I was shocked and stunned by the news, I feel fortunate that it was detected early and according to my extraordinary team of doctors the prognosis is positive for a full recovery.
I am deeply grateful for the support of my friends and family during this time, and I urge everyone to get regular check-ups, as early detection is the best defense against this horrible disease that has afflicted so many."
Ryan also said that he has a book coming out May 1st.
Never mind that the phrases "early detection" and "stage 4 cancer" don't normally go together, this news come just days after Ryan shaded our earth God Oprah by blaming her for the failure of his reality show on her network. And now Ryan has cancer. Oprah, YOU WOULDN'T!?

The game ended and the party started in NHBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
October 31. 2013 9:52PM
Thanksgiving break is weeks away, but Syracuse University student Meghan Dionne had a pretty good reason for a trip home this week.
Her father, Tony, had a pair of tickets for Wednesday night's World Series Game 6 at Fenway Park.
"The moment we knew they won, the entire stadium just kind of broke into a roar," Meghan Dionne said. "Then everyone just started singing."
"It was absolutely perfect," Tony Dionne said. "To share this with my daughter — it doesn't get better than that."
Another family will be celebrating Saturday at the Red Sox victory parade. Mary Tetreau of Londonderry, who grew up in Greater Boston, said she's been going to see the Sox play at their home games "since the tickets cost 75 cents."
Moments after Red Sox closer Koji Uehara pitched the game-ending strike, Tetreau's relatives began sending her text messages.
"Everyone was asking each other, 'Who's going to the parade now?" Tetreau said. "Looks like it'll pretty much be a family reunion."
The list includes Tetreau, her husband, Phil, her siblings, nieces and nephews.
In Pelham, police officers sported some impressive beards in homage to the Red Sox — until Wednesday night's victory.
Chief Joseph Roark said an exception was made when a couple officers approached him asking his permission to temporarily bend the rules on facial hair. Sixteen officers, as well as Roark, put away their razors for a few days, donating more than $1,200 to the town's Good Neighbors Fund, which helps locals pay grocery and utility bills.
At Londonderry North Elementary, dozens of children cruised the hallways Thursday in their finest Red Sox headwear.
Typically, hats are a no-no inside the school, but just for Thursday, rules were meant to be broken.
"They're pretty excited about it," Principal Mary Coltin said. "And so are we."
In Nashua, loyal fans of all ages flooded Dick's Sporting Goods, where employees decked out in team apparel scrambled to restock shelves as customers filled carts with "Red Sox World Series Champion" T-shirts, caps, pennants, toys and jackets.
Maine natives Barry and Sharon Slosberg now live in New York and are in the area visiting relatives.
They sported matching Red Sox caps as they picked out some new T-shirts for their grandchildren.
The Slosbergs, who now live in upstate New York but were visiting relatives in nearby Groton, Mass. Thursday, said they've always been dedicated fans.
"Some of the grandkids may be New Yorkers, but we're training them to be Red Sox fans," Barry Slosberg said.

At 99 years old, he has created a body of more than 130 works, thirty of which were composed in the last ten years, and nine of which were composed in 2007 alone.
Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, first composer to receive the United States National Medal of Arts, one of the few composers ever awarded Germany's Ernst Von Siemens Music Prize, in 1988 made Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the government of France, and one of the only living composers elected to the Classical Music Hall of Fame, Mr. Carter has much to celebrate.
The Carter Centenary will be feted internationally with performances in cities throughout the world -- including New York, Madrid, Turin, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Vienna, and London -- with several of his new pieces receiving premieres even in his 100th year.
We went to Mr. Carter's home for an interview to see what he had to say about his life thus far.

Fond Farewell my Friends
Surprise, shock, horror - today is my last post!
Photos: Matt Lord Photogrphy for Coastal Style
Surprise, shock, horror - today is my last post!
After 5 years of this incredible journey exploring coastal style around the globe it is time for me to say good-bye and do other things like spend more time at the beach, entertaining on my deck, pottering in my garden, going on road trips with my husband and hopefully some travelling. It has been a lot of work and taken up almost all of my spare time but it has kept me happy and inspired especially through long, cold winters! It has provided me with lots of inspiration for renovating my beach house and helped me really understand my own personal style. I have loved connecting with like-minded coastal lovers from all over the world and exploring coastal homes and trends from every corner of the globe. Thank-you for following along and being a part of this amazing adventure - I hope my daily inspiration has put a smile on your face!

Orange Is the New Black, a comedy-drama series based on Piper Kerman's memoir of the same name, recently hit the screens of Netflix users, receiving widespread critical acclaim. The show, revolving around Kernan's sentence in a women's federal prison, sheds light on social structure, rules, culture, and overall the experiences of the inmates in U.S. prisons.
Kernan, now a board member of the Women's Prison Association, recently discussed her experience and suggestions for changing the American prison system on NPR's Fresh Air. That same week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder stated that the U.S. has an "unnecessarily large prison population," calling the system "both ineffective and unsustainable."
While the consensus that change is necessary is spread across party lines, the debate among lawmakers over what to do and how to do it is heavy. One certainty is, however, that the conversation has reached a national level, and an understanding of the U.S. prison system is becoming increasingly necessary.
In Who Are the Criminals?, John Hagan argues that the recent history of American criminal justice can be divided into two eras—the age of Roosevelt (roughly 1933 to 1973) and the age of Reagan (1974 to 2008). A focus on rehabilitation, corporate regulation, and the social roots of crime in the earlier period was dramatically reversed in the later era. In the age of Reagan, the focus shifted to the harsh treatment of street crimes, especially drug offenses, which disproportionately affected minorities and the poor and resulted in wholesale imprisonment. At the same time, a massive deregulation of business provided new opportunities, incentives, and even rationalizations for white-collar crime—and helped cause the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession. The time for moving beyond Reagan-era crime policies is long overdue, Hagan argues. The understanding of crime must be reshaped and we must reconsider the relative harms and punishments of street and corporate crimes. In a new afterword, Hagan assesses Obama's policies regarding the punishment of white-collar and street crimes and debates whether there is any evidence of a significant change in the way our country punishes them.
The Society of Captives, first published in 1958, is a classic of modern criminology and one of the most important books ever written about prison. Gresham Sykes wrote the book at the height of the Cold War, motivated by the world's experience of fascism and communism to study the closest thing to a totalitarian system in American life: a maximum security prison. His analysis calls into question the extent to which prisons can succeed in their attempts to control every facet of life—or whether the strong bonds between prisoners make it impossible to run a prison without finding ways of "accommodating" the prisoners. Re-released fifty years later, The Society of Captives will continue to serve as an indispensable text for coming to terms with the nature of modern power.
