When a tennis court is used heavily the line markings can become worn out and difficult to see, this is where a new lining application is needed to restore the original quality.
Once a new application of tennis line markings is installed, the overall playability of the surface will be improved, as well as giving the facility a new lease of life with a brightly coloured appearance.
Contrasting coloured paint can be applied to give the court surface different sets of line markings for individual sports if you would like to use the tennis facility as a multi use area with other activities.
It is important that you carry out the process of relining existing tennis courts in regularly to ensure that the surface remains in good working order. Reline markings in all sports are extremely important and tennis is no exception, there is a fine line between winning and losing a point in tennis and it is important that your line-markings sport lines are bold and visible to ensure it's easy to distinguish what's in and what's out. In tennis there are a number of different lines including the baseline and tram lines for obvious reasons it's always recommended that line-markings are always in a contrasting colour to the court specialist surfacing colour.
There are a wide range of polyurethane and acrylic paints available for tennis flooring line-markings, these include:

Gently stir sauce into lamb and vegetables.
- Spoon potatoes over lamb and vegetables and spread evenly with a fork, making a pattern with tines. Broil about 3 inches from heat until top is golden, about 3 minutes.

Milford High can lay claim as the Central Mass. public high school with the most NFL products — four, thanks to the three-generation Pyne football family and Hall of Famer Howie Long.
Both Worcester Academy and Cushing Academy of Ashburnham also have had four of their alumni move on to pro football.
Ayer High and Gardner High each have produced three pros.
When looking at the all-time roster of the NFL, Central Mass. towns and high schools have been well represented and home to numerous players dating back to the start of professional football in the 1920s.
This two-part series will look at Central Mass. contributions to the NFL, with the first installment this week looking at pro football from the 1920s through the end of World War II.
In the early days of pro football, teams like the Providence Steamrollers, the Toledo Maroons, the Boston Bulldogs and Buffalo All-Americans all had players who hailed from Central Mass.
Thanks to an assist from Providence coach Archie Golembeski, a former player at Holy Cross, several Crusaders alumni debuted with the Steamrollers. There was Clinton's George Pyne (1931) as well as Worcester natives Albert "Hop" Riopel (1925) and Frank Garvey (1925-26).
Riopel became a Worcester sporting legend after his career as a three-sport athlete at Commerce High, when he became the only athlete in the history of Holy Cross to earn 11 varsity letters before his 1924 graduation. He turned down several offers to play pro baseball, but spent one season playing halfback in four games with the Steamrollers.
Later, he accepted a teaching-coaching position at Milford High before returning to Holy Cross, where he coached and served as athletic director for 33 years.
Ware native Red Maloney played high school football in Worcester, then moved on to Dartmouth before spending the 1924 season with Providence. He later saw action with two other grid teams, the New York Yankees (1925-26) and Boston Bulldogs (1929).
The Staten Island Stapletons, another well-known NFL team of that era, had Bob Barrabee (1931) and Ollie Satenstein (1929-32), both of Cushing Academy, and Fitchburg's Ed Lawrence (1930) on their roster.
Satenstein played four seasons with the Stapletons, who never finished better than sixth and had a combined record of 14-22-9. In 1933, Satenstein finally joined a winner and played for the Eastern Conference champ New York Giants.
In the first-ever NFL Championship game, the Giants lost to the Chicago Bears, 23-21, and Satenstein retired after that season, having played in 49 career NFL games.
Lawrence attended Lunenburg High for three years before transferring to Fitchburg High for his senior year in 1922. He later became a member of Brown University's famed "Iron Men" football team of 1926, which went 9–1, and played all but two minutes against Yale, Dartmouth and Harvard.
His two NFL seasons were spent with the Boston Bulldogs in 1929 and the Stapletons in 1930.
Leominster High legend Lou Little made a big name for himself captaining the 1910 team to an undefeated season, including two victories that year against archrival Fitchburg. He later became an All-American tackle at the University of Pennsylvania.
He then spent the 1920-21 seasons with the Buffalo All-Americans of the American Professional Football Association before becoming head coach at Columbia. He is probably best known for leading Columbia to an upset of powerhouse Stanford in the 1934 Rose Bowl, still regarded as one of the greatest victories in college football history.
At about the same time, Worcester native Bruno Haas became one of the first individuals to play both pro football and baseball. While attending Worcester Academy, Haas met Roy McGillicuddy, the son of Connie Mack, and a month after he graduated in 1915, he joined the pitching staff of Mack's Philadelphia Athletics.
Haas wound up setting a rather inauspicious record in his major league debut by walking 15 batters to set an American League record.
He pitched in just five other major league games before trying his luck in football as a halfback with the Akron Pros and Cleveland Indians (1921), and later the Dayton Triangles (1922).
Other Central Mass. athletes who played some pro football in the 1920s include Marlboro native Harry Curran, who attended the University of Massachusetts before embarking on a two-year career as a halfback with the Chicago Cardinals (1920-21).
Clinton High graduate Tom McNamara played a total of three seasons as a fullback-guard with the Toledo Maroons (1923) and Detroit Panthers (1925-26), while Worcester Academy's Al Miller spent seven games in the backfield for the Boston Bulldogs of 1929.
Longtime Leominster fans recall Ronnie Cahill as one of the greatest running backs in Blue Devils football history. After a post-grad year at Horace Mann Prep, Cahill played at Holy Cross before he was signed by the Chicago Cardinals in 1943 as a replacement for quarterback Bud Schwenk, who joined the armed forces.
Cahill played in 10 games at quarterback, all losses by the Cardinals, and threw three touchdown passes but also led the league in interceptions with 21. In 1946, Cahill signed with the Buffalo Bisons of the newly formed All-America Football Conference, but didn't appear in any games.
Curtis "Bozo" Rogers was an outstanding football player at Westboro High, where he graduated in 1931, and was among the inaugural inductees into that high school's hall of fame in 1995. After attending Villanova, he spent four seasons as a tackle with the NFL's Detroit Lions from 1938-40 and 1944.
A legend at Cushing Academy, Ray "Scooter" McLean transferred to the prep school as a sophomore and was as good at baseball and basketball as he was at football. He later played at Saint Anselm College before being drafted in 1940 by the Chicago Bears in the 21st round.
He spent a total of eight seasons with the Bears as a halfback and quarterback, playing on both sides of the ball and catching 103 passes for over 2,200 yards and 21 touchdowns. He also had 18 career interceptions and, on special teams, returned three punts for touchdowns.
After his playing career ended, McLean served as an assistant coach at Green Bay for several seasons before taking over the head job in 1958. He is probably best remembered for preceding Vince Lombardi as coach of the Packers.
Ed McNamara, another product of Clinton, also attended Holy Cross before he was drafted by the New York Giants in 1943. He made only one appearance in an NFL game, playing tackle for Pittsburgh in 1945.
The city of Gardner can claim three professional players, each of whom originally brought individual glory to the Wildcats' football teams during different generations.
The first was Walt Dubzinski, who played fullback and captained the 1936 Gardner High team to a 7-2 record. After high school, he moved on to Boston College where he embarked on a hall of fame career there.
Under legendary coach Frank Leahy, Dubzinski joined teammates Mike Holovak, Chet Gladchuk, Charley O'Rourke and Eugene Goordeault in a pair of bowl games. The Eagles lost to Clemson in the 1940 Cotton Bowl before capturing the national title in 1941 with a Sugar Bowl victory over Tennessee. That season, Boston College was undefeated and untied at 11-0.
After service in the Coast Guard, Dubzinski played center for a pair of pro seasons, one with the New York Giants in 1943 and later with the Boston Yanks in 1944 before embarking on a high school coaching career.
After one season as head coach at Fitchburg High in 1945, Dubzinski began a 20-year career coaching Gardner football. From 1946-65, he created a Central Mass. dynasty with 130 wins and landed in the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame.
Other Gardnerites — Frank Morze of the San Francisco 49ers and the San Diego Chargers' Jacques Cesaire — will be among the players of recent fame that we will look at in next week's column.

The Making Movies Film Series runs throughout the summer and features films that are highlighted in the Making Movies exhibition. Tonight, the Ransom Center will screen Mike Nichols's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Throughout the series, Cultural Compass will highlight an exhibition item related to each film.
Edward Albee's play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opened on Broadway in 1962 and gained notoriety for its profanity and sexual themes. It was selected for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, but the trustees of Columbia University overruled the advisory committee and awarded no prize for drama that year. Despite the controversy, Warner Brothers acquired the film rights to the play in 1964 and recruited Hollywood's top screenwriter, Ernest Lehman, to write and produce the movie.
The usual procedure for adapting a play is to "open it up," adding characters and locations to make the film more visually appealing. Lehman worked his way through several drafts of the script but eventually returned to the original play, making only a few minor changes. He was able to cast, against type, "the world's most famous couple," Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and he hired Mike Nichols for his first film directing job.
In spite of the scrutiny surrounding the film, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? became one of the highest grossing films of 1966 and earned every eligible Academy Award nomination. Yet the film's impact reached far beyond its artistic and financial success. Despite fierce opposition, Lehman and Nichols prevailed in their fight to keep the original language of the play intact. The movie was directly responsible for the Motion Picture Association of America abandoning the old system of self-censorship and adopting the film rating system that is still in use today.
Shown here are Ernest Lehman's notes about his meeting with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton on November 19, 1964, to discuss their roles in the film.

This guidebook is a reference to help other program sponsors and implementers develop and deliver a full-scale and comprehensive small-to-medium-sized business (SMB) energy efficiency program that can achieve similar results. The online SMART Scale Toolkit accompanies this guidebook.
A demonstration of the SMART Scale model in the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) on over 700 projects indicates that an average whole building electricity savings of 20% from the baseline is possible while remaining cost-effective, with a cost of $0.0346 per lifetime kWh and an estimated total resource cost of 3.1. Previous generations of DI programs were capturing only 10% to 12% of whole building electricity savings through approaches dominated by lighting measures.

The Future Of Writing: An iPad Review
Exclusively for ChuckPalahniuk.net
by Xander Davis
Imagine the freedom to easily type anytime, anywhere, without any hassle. The iPad just might grant you this wish, but you're not sure yet what to make of it, if it's worth the expense.
If you have a laptop, wherever you go, you've got your cumbersome bag, charger brick, and cable to lug along, like a nomad gypsy with only an hour or two of battery, or you're anchored entirely with a traditional desktop computer at home.
This was me, and now after taking a chance, I can say that the writer's dream machine has finally arrived.
I've been using an iPad to write for weeks now. I'm not talking about little e-mails and status updates. I'm talking about tapping out entire chapters on glass.
And I haven't looked back. Sure, it's not without its problems, but it certainly works so well, you'll want to bash up your laptop, Office-Space-Printer style, for making you suffer carrying its weight like Atlas this whole freaking time.
In fact, I'm writing this iPad review on the device right now. So let's get right down to it.
1. Typing on the Keyboard
How it felt to type and the accuracy were the biggest concerns I had about the iPad before pulling out the wallet to find out. It was a risk, but it paid off. Luckily, Apple has somehow done what seems improbable: the keyboard works like a charm.
There will be a few days of adjusting to it, where you can't help but stare at the keys themselves, but soon after that, you'll find yourself flying, watching your words appear in your document like magic. Without tactile sense, your brain starts remembering exactly where the keys are on the glass, exactly how to switch between character sets, and it's soon as effortless as a traditional keyboard. You'll realize you can take advantage of the auto-correct for things with apostrophes or even capitalization, making you faster, and the lack of a tab key on the actual keyboard isn't that big of a deal, since there's a tab button in each of your writing apps.
Don't bother getting the keyboard accessories; they defeat the whole point of the elegance and freedom of the iPad. Just take a few days to adapt and soon the only thing between you and the cursor will simply be ideas.
2. The Last Book Cover
You actually can easily set the iPad flat on its back, lean over it and type with few hiccups. But getting the official Apple iPad Cover ($40, but worth it) and folding it back into itself will prop it up at an angle and really improve your typing accuracy and comfort. The cover also makes handling the iPad itself more practical. It feels better in your hand, less likely to slip out and crack on the pavement.
Equally important, the cover hides the iPad, disguising it as simply a daily planner. Believe me, this is a very good trait. In public, nearly everyone will walk up to you and ask about your new, "magical" Apple gadget. Also, you might feel overly protective of it from theft. The cover helps it go incognito when it's just lying around on a desk, in your car, or even in your hand.
3. Battery Life is Amazing!
Leave that charger at home. You won't need it when you're out. I've regularly used my iPad for the entire day, off and on, writing here and there, watching movies, surfing the Internet, downloading apps, and never once did I run out of battery life.
Sure, by the time I'd get home into the late evening, I'd be down to about 25%, but I probably wouldn't have to charge it until bed if I really wanted to go crazy. Compared to the short-span battery life of traditional laptops, using a computer like this all day was impossible. This is a dream come true, especially if the words are really flowing and you don't want any interruptions.
4. Pages
Let's talk about the first critical app you will immediately buy after unboxing your shiny slate. Pages is the app to get if you're writing anything, especially if you need particular formatting.
In about ten minutes, I had created two important first documents: my novel template and my short story template, both adjusted to meet exact standard manuscript formatting. In under fifteen minutes, I had transferred my current novel text from my laptop (e-mail RTF to myself, copy and paste) to iPad Pages, and I was ready to rock.
From the iPad, you can e-mail your manuscript in Pages format, PDF, or as a Word Doc. You can also share your docs with iWork.com for free (though currently there's a lame 50 page limit). However, the exporting process is where Pages raises a major red flag right now, especially if your manuscript uses either Courier or Courier New (which it probably should, to meet certain manuscript standards).
Currently, an exported PDF will show up as completely blank when opened with Gmail's PDF viewer. Try downloading the PDF on Windows and opening it, and with Courier, you'll get a document full of dots; with Courier New, it reverts to an alternative system font, which looks horribly ugly (and non-standard, making you look unprofessional, should an agent or editor receive this from you).
It seems the iPad doesn't embed fonts into the PDF on export, and I've never ran into this problem anywhere else. I can't fathom how Apple missed this, because the entire point of a PDF is that it's portable. It should work anywhere.
It's completely unacceptable, but the day I discovered this problem, Pages was issued an update patch that fixed other exporting issues I hadn't even run into. So it seems Apple is likely going to get around to fixing these exporting issues eventually.
Judging from the shortage of supply and the staggered release dates of the iPad domestically and around the world, I'm guessing they've rolled out their new device and its software as fast as humanly possible, with some flaws like these. Luckily, updates to Pages will be free.
My current work-around is to simply e-mail it back to myself as a Word document, which I can open on my laptop, re-import into Final Draft into my novel template there, and re-export to PDF. Cumbersome, but really about a five or ten minute task. Luckily, this is not something I plan on doing often, but I still can't wait for Apple to get their act together on this one and issue the fix.
To get a draft to a friend on Windows for feedback, I had to convert all the text to Arial. So, apparently, the document only works on Windows if Windows has the font, despite it being a PDF.
Of course, iPad to Mac or iPhone, exporting and font viewing works just fine.
Day to day, all of this doesn't hinder the freedom of writing with the iPad, and that freedom alone makes it all worth it.
And no Word Count feature? Really, Apple? Really?! I added a web-page to my home screen to a copy-and-paste word-counter website (just Google 'cut and paste word count'). While again, not perfect, Final Draft also doesn't have a word count (again, ridiculous), so this isn't anything I'm not already used to doing. It all works like a virtual little Word Count app and requires 3G or WiFi to utilize.
Other than that, I have no other complaints with Pages.
5. Scripts Pro
While there will soon be Final Draft on iPad for screenwriting, there is a very enticing and low-cost alternative available right now: Scripts Pro. The same app works on both the iPad and iPhone. While I can imagine writing a screenplay with this on the iPhone, I can't imagine wanting to. It'd feel way too claustrophobic. However, on the iPad, it's a perfect experience that unlocks your ability to pen your next screenplay wherever the heck you want.
Probably the most amazing feature about it is the price. It's $5.99, compared to PC/Mac Final Draft's $250 price tag!
Scripts Pro also features a handy Tab key supplement to the iPad's OS keyboard. This is a very nice feature I wish Pages would implement.
I noticed a bug with the way the title page displayed my e-mail address. I was also annoyed that, while it can detect INT./EXT. or character dialogue headings, it doesn't currently auto-capitalize. That's about it for my gripes with the app.
I quickly sent my suggestions for improvements to the creator, Stephen M. Levinson, and he replied within minutes, informing me about a coming update (that I've since already happily installed) and that more updates were on the way. He added my requests to his development list and I'm excited to see them in soon.
When you create a script, you can pick between .TXT, .CELTX, and .FDX formats to save in, and the script writing experience in Scripts Pro is nicely the same regardless. That, in combination with the fact that you will forever get free updates, makes Scripts Pro a no-brainer purchase of amazing value.
While it isn't yet perfect, it's showing incredible promise that it will easily end up being a Final Draft killer.
6. Kindle
A writer should be reading, and, luckily getting books on the iPad is an effortless joy.
While iBooks is visually striking with its bookshelf metaphor, where Kindle lacks in user interface design, it more than makes up for in Amazon's astounding content availability. The iBookstore barely ever has anything I'm looking for, yet.
The Barnes and Noble app is hailed by many as the best, but I find it annoying I can't delete the sample books it shoves in your face, namely Laura Bush's memoir, and while it offers a lot of customization features, the content availability is also lacking.
Nobody is beating Kindle right now.
I've already been using Kindle for iPhone anyway, and Amazon thankfully allows you to keep all your purchases saved in your account, re-downloadable as many times as you want, to as many devices as you want. I've got all my past purchases, like Fight Club, Neuromancer, Apathy and Other Small Victories, Layer Cake, Casino Royale, and so on, with other new purchases like The Great Gatsby and a pre-ordered auto-delivering Imperial Bedrooms.
There's also a handy Kindle Store feature that allows you to send an alert off to the publisher of books not currently available; you can't do that with the iBookstore or Barnes and Noble. I wanted all of Bret Easton Ellis's books (only Lunar Park was available) and clicked this notification link. Within a week, they were all made available by June 9th. They downloaded immediately to my iPad at that date exactly at midnight!
Amazon's customer service is amazing. I had trouble getting a past purchase to download on my iPad, even though it would download on my iPhone. I clicked a link from their website to have Amazon call me, and within minutes I was talking to an American who pressed a few buttons and remotely solved the problem. The book downloaded as we were on the phone.
With iBooks, I'm not sure if you can re-download books you've already purchased if you somehow lose or delete them, as you can with Amazon's Kindle.
Kindle's reading experience is also less metaphorical than the iBooks. While you can activate page flipping, I prefer the straight up slightly yellow tinted page of text with no graphical border, which I can flip through quickly. It's less distracting and makes the content more the center of attention.
To me, when I can carry my entire library around in a pad-thick device, the future of the literary world is clearly on screen. With all three platforms (iBooks, Kindle, and Barnes and Noble) offering direct eBook self-publishing, the future of publishing itself is already changed and will continue to change fast.
7. Other Apps to Get for Writing
Here are a few other handy apps I use while writing: Dictionary (free; includes Thesaurus), Wikipanion (free), Maps (included), Jumbo Calculator, and Convertbot. I also recommend adding home screen icon links from Safari for Cut and Paste Word Count, Urban Dictionary, and RhymeZone. With these, it's never been easier to research things and locations. Once the multi-tasking ability comes in the update for iPad's OS this fall, it will be even more a breeze.
8. Definitely Go 3G
Don't skimp and cheat yourself out of more anytime-anywhere ability for researching details for your writing. Don't just get the Wi-Fi iPad. You definitely want one with 3G.
The data plan is pre-paid monthly and ordered on demand. You don't have to keep ordering it every month if you don't want to, but I certainly am doing that. To me, having the Internet in hand, all the time, is just invaluable.
AT&T did really screw this up though. They sent us back to the ages of dial-up billing, where you paid for bandwidth. Before June 7th, customers got to pay just $30 bucks for unlimited. After June 7th, this option is gone to any newcomers, while only existing customers can keep it. Now, there are only two options: $15 for 250 MB or $25 for 2GB. LAME. If you got in early, you're lucky. Everyone else has to now manage their use of the iPad, which is horrible. It was such a joy to freely use the Internet and apps like Netflix on the iPhone and iPad, but this is going out the window. The demand is either too great on AT&T's networks, or they're just being greedy jerks.
2GB probably won't be consumed on general web-surfing in a month, but you might need to be more careful for anything else. The new plans shouldn't choke your ability to research Google Maps, Wikipedia and send PDFs around for your writing. If you've got a wifi hotspot at home, definitely use it over 3G. And if there are wifi hotspots out in the world that you think would make comfy writing nooks away from your home, now you can easily go right ahead and enjoy them with the ease the iPad provides.
9. Do More
Unlike buying a Kindle or a Nook, you're not buying an iPad just to read eBooks, and you can do much more than just write with it. The iPad is fast becoming a total replacement for the laptop. The magic of the screen is that it can become anything. Whatever you want to do, there's an app for that.
It's great for anything, especially killing time. My girlfriend and I were standing a half an hour in line to eat at Phil's BBQ in Point Loma, San Diego this past Sunday, but the wait flew by as we split a pair of earbuds to watch an episode of The Office on Netflix (streaming over 3G) and later played a fun game of Checkers. Every time we go out to eat, we sit side by side in a booth and play an awesome game called Angry Birds (seriously, check that out). Everyone looks at us with envy. Be that couple! Which leads me to the final reason.
10. You Look Good
I can't tell you how many times people have come up to me with eyes lit up, like kids in a candy store. People are entranced by the elegance and beauty of this device and you look damn cool penning the next great American novel or Hollywood hit on it. But it's not just how you look; it's how you act with an iPad. You're not fumbling around with your load of tangled, heavy gear. You're on the go, agile and ready for anything, anywhere, in any situation.
Conclusion: Get One Now
As a writer, the iPad is everything I hoped it would be and then some. I had truly high hopes for how it could change my writing habits and it has completely surpassed them. I've also never read so much; I must have bought three dozen eBooks in the last three weeks. I definitely recommend getting the 32 GB or 65 GB version and not the 16 GB (you don't want to run out of space with what will quickly become your primary computer).
It truly is a revolution that's going to usher in a new era of mobile computing. I can't imagine going back. Go get one and enjoy your new, amazing writing experience!

What do you do when you come face to face with the person who stole your identity?
A woman in Colorado was arrested after she attempted to use a fake ID at a restaurant that belonged to the waitress serving her.
Brianna Priddy was working as a server at an Applebee's in Lakewood when one of her customers handed her a driver's license that Priddy knew she had to report. "Four people come in, walk in sit down. They start ordering drinks, this girl hands me my ID as a fake ID," she told NBC Colorado's 9News.
U.S. & World
Priddy's wallet was stolen on February 13 during a night out with friends, and she lost cash, credit cards and her driver's license, police say. Someone had also been "writing hundreds of dollars in bad checks" under Priddy's name, police told 9News.
Priddy said that tried to act nonchalant during the bizarre encounter and handed back her own ID before later calling police.
"I put on my server smile and tried to take care of them, but I was shaking like crazy," she told 9News.
The name of the woman arrested has not been released.
However, police spokesman Steve Davis said narcotics were found in the woman's possession, "so she's in quite a bit of hot water." Interestingly enough, the woman accused of using Priddy's stolen ID is 26-years-old and did not need a fake ID to buy alcohol, according to Davis.
The woman was charged for theft, identity theft and criminal impersonation.

This is the story of an amazing New York-Style Bagel Recipe. But it doesn't just start there. It began with food blogger's block (writer's block, but for food bloggers). The most frustrating thing for any food blogger. Many of us will not admit that we sometimes get it, but I find no problem with admitting that I occasionally get food blogger's block. Why? Well, because I am far from perfect and showing small imperfections makes me normal. Doesn't it make us all normal?
Well, I am not *that* normal. Why? Because some of my friends and dearest family members call me the "crazy baker" because I occasionally have these moments where I try to bake anything and everything known to man.
Okay, exaggerating a bit… But I seriously do bake a bit too much. This past weekend, I decided that I was going to use all of the baking energy that I built up over the past couple of weeks to create some edible masterpieces to share with you all.
The first edible masterpiece (I love how I call bagels edible masterpieces…) that I decided to share (out of the billion things that I baked) is an awesome bagel recipe that I adapted from a cookbook that I recently "borrowed" from my aunt, Ultimate Bread. Please notice that I put the word borrowed in quotations. I'll elaborate: at first, the book was to be borrowed, but by the likes of it- she's not getting it back for a long, long, long… Long time.
This bagel recipe is not only one of the best bagel recipes that I've tried, but it doesn't require a rocket scientist (sorry rocket scientists reading this, I like the saying!) to make the recipe. The bagels are awesome fresh out of the oven, but when they're toasted– oh, my! Can we just say that you'll be making this bagel recipe time and time again?
At this point, you're saying- "WHAT?! Can't I just buy them? Way easier than going through all the trouble!"
New Yorkers and People who would rather buy your bagels– sure, we have our awesome bagel shops. And it seems stupid to make something that takes more effort than walking down the block to our local bagel shop. But seriously… This bagel recipe is so worth making.
Well, because when you make something on your own, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment after you create an edible masterpiece? I know I do. Also, this may give some competition to your local bagel shop. The recipe is that good!
This bagel recipe is so good that you'll be bowing down to the bagel god after you take a nice bite out of one of these freshly made bagels. Also, is there even a bagel god? Don't even answer that… Nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if there was one!
So, if you're one of those people on the West-Coast who orders 12 bagels from New York and pays $7.50 a bagel, save your money!
This bagel recipe is a same-day recipe and doesn't require two days of dedication. You hear that impatient bakers? SAME DAY bagels!
Makes: 8 medium-sized bagels
Total Time:
5.0 stars based on
779 reviews
Serving size: 1 bagel
Calories per serving: 228.4 cal
Fat per serving: 1 g
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 ½ tablespoons (4 ½ teaspoons) granulated sugar
1 ¼ cups / 300ml warm water (you may need ± ¼ cup /60ml more, I know I did)
3 ½ cups (500g) bread flour or high gluten flour(will need extra for kneading)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
Optional Toppings:
Caraway seeds, coarse salt, minced fresh garlic, minced fresh onion, poppy seeds, or sesame seeds. (Everyone in my house prefers plain bagels, but I have no preference, so I just went with the plain, so no one could complain.)
Preparation:1. In ½ cup /120ml of the warm water, pour in the sugar and yeast. Do not stir. Let it sit for five minutes, and then stir the yeast and sugar mixture, until it all dissolves in the water.
2. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and pour in the yeast and sugar mixture.
3. Pour 1/3 cup / 90ml of the remaining warm water into the well. Mix and stir in the rest of the water as needed. Depending on where you live, you may need to add anywhere from a couple tablespoons to about ¼ cup/60ml of water. You want a moist and firm dough after you have mixed it.
4. On a floured countertop, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Try working in as much flour as possible to form a firm and stiff dough.
5. Lightly brush a large bowl with oil and turn the dough to coat. Cover the bowl with a damp dish towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size. Punch the dough down, and let it rest for another 10 minutes.
6. Carefully divide the dough into 8 pieces (I used a scale to be extra precise, but it's not necessary). Shape each piece into a round. Now, take a dough ball, and press it gently against the countertop (or whatever work surface you're using) moving your hand and the ball in a circular motion pulling the dough into itself while reducing the pressure on top of the dough slightly until a perfect dough ball forms (as pictured below). Repeat with 7 other dough rounds.
7. Coat a finger in flour, and gently press your finger into the center of each dough ball to form a ring. Stretch the ring to about ⅓ the diameter of the bagel and place on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Repeat the same step with the remaining dough.
8. After shaping the dough rounds and placing them on the cookie sheet, cover with a damp kitchen towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425ºF / 220ºC / Gas Mark 7.
9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce the heat. Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to lower the bagels into the water. Boil as many as you are comfortable with boiling. Once the bagels are in, it shouldn't take too long for them to float to the top (a couple seconds). Let them sit there for 1 minute, and them flip them over to boil for another minute. Extend the boiling times to 2 minutes each, if you'd prefer a chewier bagel (results will give you a more New York Style bagel with this option).
10. If you want to top your bagels with stuff, do so as you take them out of the water, you may use the "optional toppings" (listed above) to top the bagels and if you're risky like me, make a combination of the toppings to top the bagels with, but before hand, you will need to use an egg wash to get the toppings to stick before putting the bagels into the oven.
11. Once all the bagels have boiled (and have been topped with your choice of toppings), transfer them to a lightly oiled baking sheet.
12. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
13. Cool on a wire rack (or if you're impatient like I am, slice one of these babies open, and spread on some softened butter or your favorite cream cheese. Take a bite… Oh babyyy!)
Update (March 4th, 2015): Being one of the most popular recipes on the site, these bagels had to make their way onto the pages of my book, Hand Made Baking.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Being treated for a heart attack in a crowded emergency department may be linked to developing symptoms of a stress disorder, according to a new study.
The study does not prove crowded ERs cause stress disorders, but the researchers suggest their findings show hospital environments may leave a mark on patients' mental health.
"What we're showing here is - aside from the severity of a heart attack - the emergency department environment itself can carry forward and impact a person's psychological adjustment after," said Donald Edmondson, the study's lead author from Columbia University Medical Center in New York.
The new study builds on previous research by Edmondson that found about one in eight heart attack patients develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, which were tied to the risk of having a second heart attack and dying within three years.
PTSD symptoms include being jumpy or on edge, having nightmares or flashbacks and actively trying to avoid thinking about symptoms.
Other studies have linked heart attacks and PTSD (see Reuters Health story of December 13, 2012 here: http://reut.rs/Xv6fLd), but the researchers write in JAMA Internal Medicine that studies haven't looked at whether a hospital's environment may by tied to the disorder's onset.
In 2009, a survey found over 90 percent of U.S. ER directors said overcrowding is a problem at their hospitals several times per week. They said it led to increased wait times, and it was tied to dissatisfied patients and a higher risk of poor outcomes.
"If you go to an urban emergency department on a busy evening, you may have patients piled up in the hallway, patients with substance abuse problems and patients who are mentally ill," said Dr. Benjamin Sun, who studies hospital overcrowding but was not involved with the new study.
"If you are a patient who is very sick and you are getting care under those conditions, you can see why you'd be traumatized," said Sun, from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland.
For the new study, Edmondson and his colleagues used data collected from medical records and interviews with 135 heart attack patients at one New York City hospital between 2009 and 2011.
On the least busy days, an average of 199 people passed through the ER, compared to an average of 255 on the busiest days.
Heart attack patients who were there on the least busy days scored a 3 on a test that measures PTSD symptoms on a scale from 0 to 88, with higher scores being more severe forms of the disorder. Patients there on the busiest days scored an 8.
Edmondson told Reuters Health that neither group scored high enough to be diagnosed with PTSD, but it's enough of a difference for patients to notice.
"This is not surprising to me," said Sun, who added that there are several possible explanations for the link.
For example, Sun told Reuters Health that patients may pick up on how stressed doctors and nurses are.
Edmondson added that patients may also see or experience a breakdown in communication between nurses and doctors, which can happen in crowded ERs.
There are several ways hospitals can help prevent overcrowding, according to Sun. One possible way is to stop overcrowding throughout the hospital.
Edmondson told Reuters Health the next step is to look at this problem in a larger group of patients at more than one hospital. He added that there may also be a link between crowded ERs and other types of patients.
"I don't think there is anything special in heart attack patient that make emergency departments more likely to cause PTSD," he said.

Its contents are suitable for reading or presentation in courses or course modules concerning general microbiology and medical bacteriology at the college and advanced high school levels of education. As an electronic text, new material is constantly being added, and current material is constantly being revised and updated. This is an inherent advantage of the web-based text over the tree-burner.
The textbook will never be complete, as the rate of production of new information in microbiology far outruns the author's ability to acquire and properly present it.

text: The reticulated whiptail ray has a light brown body with dark brown spots. Its underside, however, is a solid off-white. Its snout is pointed, and when intact, its tail can reach three times its body size. The tail usually has one barb on it. It favors shallow, sandy habitats near the coast, but has ventured into waters of up to 50 meters deep. It prefers habitats in beaches, lagoons, and coral reefs. A gestation period for a reticulated whiptail ray is around a year, and a female will give birth to approximately three to five pups in the summer. Did You Know? Its tail can be up to three times its body length. Diet It feeds on small fish, shrimp, crabs, worms, and sometimes jellyfish. Size Its body can reach widths of 6.6 feet. Its total body length (tail included) can be up to 20 feet. The largest individuals weigh up to 260 pounds. Range It has been spotted in a wide range of waters. It has been found in the Indian Ocean as well as the Mediterranean Sea. The ray has been found in several locations in the Pacific Ocean, from Taiwan and Southern Japan to Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It may also enter fresh water at times. Population Status The reticulated whiptail ray seems to be uncommon throughout most of its population range. However, it appears to be common near some parts of northern Australia. Its population has been trending downwards recently. Back to the Top

Item Description
Letter, H. P. A. Smith to General [James W. Denver]
Author: Smith, H. P. A.
Date: May 16, 1858
H. P. A. Smith, writing from Fort Scott, Kansas Territory to Governor James W. Denver, reported that conditions were peaceful in the southeast section of the territory. Smith stated that he had accompanied a group of dragoons on an unsuccessful mission to find and arrest James Montgomery and other free state supporters who allegedly had engaged in violent activities in the area. Smith commented that in his view the "ultra Pro Slavery party" was partly responsible for the unrest in southeast Kansas Territory, but he also believed that "moderate free state" supporters should act to stop the violence.

Whales perish in two mass strandings. As of late Wednesday, November 16, despite persistent rescue efforts, a total of 91 whales perished in separate stranding incidents occurring on remote beaches in Australia's Tasmania and the northern tip of South Island in New Zealand. In New Zealand, 65 pilot whales that became beached earlier in the week all died, in part because their inaccessible location made rescue impossible. Meanwhile in Australia, two whales were successfully guided back to deeper waters, but a third died on Wednesday, with 26 total that perished after they became stranded on a Tasmanian beach the previous Saturday. Scientists believe that whales may beach in groups due to their strongly social nature, with many that respond to distress signals sent out by one or more ill or disorientedmembers of a pod. With deep sorrow for the tragic passing of these beautiful wonders of the sea, we send our appreciation to the rescuers for their caring endeavors. May human hearts be touched to live in such a manner that all Earth's inhabitants can thrive. Speaking with concern for the perilous conditions faced by many marine animals who face rising pollutants along with human-created climate change, Supreme Master Ching Hai addressed the stranding of whales and dolphins, and what must be done to protect all lives.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : As the ocean becomes warmer and warmer and more acidic, more toxins are present in the water. The whales and dolphins are thus being driven from the ocean as conditions worsen; it is suffocating them. Sometimes hundreds at a time, they're dying on the beach because they cannot tolerate this toxic condition in the seawater anymore. What do we think, why the dolphins and the whales beach on the sand?
They die hundreds at a time because they cannot suffer anymore the water in which they live. Water means life to them but now the water becomes poison so they have to go out.
Anything God puts on Earth is for a purpose. We should not kill anything. We should not eat anything except plant-based diet.

New York (CNNMoney) - Newark Mayor Cory Booker rescued a neighbor from a burning building, invited Hurricane Sandy victims to his home, and rushed to the aid of a pedestrian hit by a car. Now he's going to live on a food stamp budget for a week in solidarity with Americans who feed their families on the government assistance program.
The mayor's office has yet to announce the full details of his plan, but the budget should amount to about $4.44 a day for food, based on data from the United States Department of Agriculture.FULL STORY
I hope he likes starch – potatoes, pasta, and rice are about all you can afford on food stamps which is why so many poor people are overweight. He will need to cut coupons and read the ad circulars for BOGO deals. If he tried it for a month that would be impressive since a week will be just like going on a diet. He's a great guy for trying it though.
This would be a good idea for all of Congress.
Let them buy their healthcare on the open market for a year, also.
I agree 100% with Bill from GA...
All these people that think it's so great to get food stamps and "free stuff" should try having to live off of them. Despite what many on the right say, the majority of people on food stamps and other government programs would rather NOT be on them and have a real job with real pay.Are there welfare and food stamp cheaters? Of course there are but like not everyone on Wall Street is greedy and arrogant it's the bad ones that get all the notice.
Unfortunately, to me it looks like a joke. Those who depend on food stamps, they don't do it because they like, do it as an experiment or for a short period like one week. They are forced by environment and not able to afford buying other food. This mayor has chosen a wrong path of being supportive.
Wow....these are the gifts that republicans are referring to when they say Obama bought the election? Food stamps? Get real these politicians need to go home to the mansions they built,eat the food they grew,and let the rest of our country go about the work of making this a nation who shows the values that have endured the test of time....care,compassion,fairness and the desire to work and provide for ones family! No one wakes up each day and says " oh boy I'm on food stamps"!!!
A week. Try a month! GOP should be forced to do this! To show them just what THEIR GREED has done to those less fortunate.
@Bill from GA
This would be a good idea for all of Congress.
Let them buy their healthcare on the open market for a year, also.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I don't know much about Mr. Booker but this is an admirable and kind thing to do.

DENVER, July 20 (UPI) -- The suspect in Friday's movie theater massacre in Colorado decided to quit his doctoral program because he was in academic trouble, a faculty member said.
James Eagan Holmes, 24, who allegedly opened fire with an assault rifle, shotgun and handgun on a crowded showing of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises," was a doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado in Denver.
Twelve people were killed and 59 injured, 16 critically, in the midnight-showing rampage at an Aurora, Colo., mall movieplex. He also left his apartment booby-trapped, police said.
Police had given no motive for the shooting.
The Washington Post quoted a University of Colorado faculty member who asked not to be identified as saying Holmes, who was studying to be a neuroscientist, had performed poorly on spring exams and decided to quit the program.
"The University of Colorado Denver-Aschutz Medical Campus can confirm that Holmes was in the process of withdrawing from the University of Colorado Denver's graduate program in neurosciences," the university said in a release.
U-T San Diego reported Holmes grew up in the Rancho Penasquitos area of San Diego and graduated from Westview High School in 2006. He earned his bachelor's degree in neuroscience from the University of California, Riverside.
Holmes' family issued a statement saying their "hearts go out to those who were involved in this tragedy and to the families and friends of those involved. ... We are still trying to process this information."
The Web site said Holmes' mother, Arlen, is a registered nurse and his father, Robert, is a software engineer.
Neighbors described Holmes as a loner.
"He was quiet, didn't seem to have lots of friends," Anthony Mai, 16, told U-T San Diego.
Claire Sampankanpanich, a third-year Johns Hopkins University medical student, said she attended a biotechonology book camp with Holmes at Miramar College.
"A lot of us didn't get along very well with him," she said. "He didn't talk to a lot of us, but when he did he was kind of a smart alec. He didn't want to work with any of us."

Davidson, N.C. -- Senior Matt Baber scattered 12 hits and sophomore Jeremy Terry hit a two-run homer in the fifth to give East Tennessee State (9-18, 6-9) the lead for good in a 6-2 victory over host Davidson (19-16, 11-10).
Baber (5-5) pitched his second complete game in five days to earn the victory for the Bucs. All 12 hits were singles, and only one of the two runs were earned. He walked just one batter and struck out two. Twice his defense turned double plays with the bases loaded to end innings.
Davidson scored both of its runs in the third inning to take an early 2-0 lead. Sophomore Jack Purcell led off the inning with the only walk of the day. The centerfielder Nathan Copeland then misjudge junior Ryan Stroker's line drive for a three-base error, scoring Purcell. Stroker then came home on a ground ball off the bat of Tim Frend.
Meanwhile, freshman pitcher Derrik Wolpert (1-2) cruised through the first four innings against ETSU, allowing just two hits. The Bucs reached him for three in the fifth, however. One-out singles by Raymond McBride and Chuck Dewald put runners on the corners. Matt Nunley then hit a little tapper in front of the plate, and Wolpert's only play was to first, scoring a run. Terry followed with a home run, his first, on a 3-1 fastball to give the Bucs the lead for good.
In the seventh, ETSU got an insurance run off of reliever Mark Wells. Dewald singled, stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Nunley drove him home with a solid single to left.
The Bucs got two unearned runs in the eighth for a comfortable four-run lead. Dewald drove in the final run of the game by hitting into a fielder's choice with the bases loaded.
Ed Sparks had three hits, including a double, for East Tennessee State to lead the 10-hit attack. Both Nunley and Terry drove in two runs.
ETSU returns to action on Wednesday when it hosts Wake Forest for a 6:00 game at Cardinal Park.
