Anybody looking at a Lyle Hess boat should take note of this one, which can be considered as their grandparent. Besides, she is a very famous little boat in her own right.
A very attractive boat indeed and were she this side of the pond I would be tempted to say "snap"!
You're right Andrew ,very lovely indeed.In fact I bought plans once,even lofted them before opting for something slightly bigger.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
Can anybody expound upon their impressions/dealings/experiences with this boat? I have a cousin who is considering ponying up and saving her - but information on the web is scarce. He has, of course, read the page on the Atkin site and also the article there that mentions this design. However, none of us can find anything else.
My biggest concern is that he and his wife will probably use her to cruise in the Gulf of Mexico - up and down the western FL coast - and she looks a little drafty to me for that purpose. But then again, maybe the affection they develop for the boat during the resto will mitigate the "inconveniences" of adapting to those limitations.
Anyway, if anybody can add to our knowledge about the boat, it sure would be appreciated!
Thanks, Ethan
I can't comment on the draft issue, but there is a more complete discussion of the boat in William Atkins ,"Of Yachts and Men"...quite a bit actually and a photo or two I think.The issues of WB that detailed Atkins work had a good photo too ,I think it was the first of the series .
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Atkin was working from British prototypes, adding some Colin Archer influence, when he developed the series of boats of which "Fore 'n Aft" is one. I have not sailed in the actual boat, but from looking at her, I would say that she will be an excellent boat at sea, and well behaved in tight corners.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnson's "Suhaili" is an Atkin design from his Colin Archer-influenced period, though Sir Robin did not know that when he built her. She has covered a few miles...
Andrew, the British designer who designed balanced fore and aft (?) hulls , Harrison Butler? Is there a similarity?
Perfect is the enemy of good.
I'm not enough of an Atkin expert to say if he was influenced by the metacentric shelf theory, but William Atkin and Harrison Butler were contemporaries and would certainly have known of each others' work, as they both tended to publish designs, and they both read a lot of yachting magazines. Whether they knew each other directly, I don't know, but its certainly possible.
Personally I think the Atkin group (Ben Bow, Wild Duck, Fore an' Aft) are all very capable boats that are based on tried and true designs like the Itchen Ferries, Falmouth workboats, Bristol Channel Pilot Cutters, etc. Just look at the raise in the interest in these types of boats again---i.e Lyle Hess, Working Sails Cutters, Ashley Butler Heard 28 (very similar to Fore an Aft). Andrew may be able to fill in what I missed or got wrong better than I.
Draft, well I think you hit it...when you love a boat for her speed in light air, comfort and speed in a sea, ease to handle at 28 ft... a bit of Draft will not be an issue unless you really want it for gunking, etc. I do not know too much about this area though!
Of course I may not be the best to say since I want someone to take this boat and fix her up very soon....I run the WBRF :-)
The Wild Duck we had on the site was in very very nice shape and will be something to see when she is in the water. The fact that we have had three of these types of boats on the WBRF site and there were not many made attest to the fact that they were well liked and lasted a long time (almost 70 years). Ben Bow (on our site, but in tough shape) was converted to an identical rig to Fore an Aft---this is a good hint Billy Atkin thought it was a better rig since he did the conversion and Ben Bow was his personal boat for sometime!
I would be neat if someone that know how to post pix here, could post the three Atkin types on the WBRF site her for all to see and compare---yes I know I should know how to do this by now---but life does not seem to slow down for me :-)
Cheers, Bruce
Looked at the boat yesterday from the outside. Will need a good amount of work as indicated on the link. Boat appears to be iron fastened and has an iron keel. Hull appears fair and has held shape well. Owner says boat built in 1955 by a builder named Parche ? Not sure if I got that correct. Rick (owner) says someone looked at her day before I got there and has agreed to take her. Glad she has found a home.
It's a lovely boat, and saving it will be hard. It's probably fastened with iron nails. That was my first impression from the photos, and Mark adds weight to it.
The work done so far seems dubious. When did scarfs at plank ends become acceptable practice? The bad planks should be cut back to acceptable places for butts.
But the nail sickness is the huge issue. There is no easy way to fix it. The boat was built with a thirty year service in mind. And here it is sixty years on.
But, it is free. Does anyone know a good way to deal with sixty year old galvanized boat nails? Assuming they aren't screws, which aren't much easier.
So many questions, so little time.
I've been thinking about this. Assuming it is fastened with iron nails, and has never been refastened, how about sealing the old iron with epoxy, and then refastening with either iron screws or nails driven in along side. Replace the bad frames and planks in the process. That might be the best solution, and could get quite a few more years out of the old gal. Maybe this is obvious to those who do this work regularly. Sorry.
I think copper rivets are probably the best fastening ever devised. When their useful life is up, time to refasten, grind off the rove, back the old fasteing out, and drive a new one. It does mean having inside access, which can mean quite a bit of demolition.

text: UNION REPRESENTATIVES AT RECEPTION AT THE WHITE PALACE Belgrade, 12 November 2002 – TRH Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown Princess Katherine organized a formal reception for the representatives of Trade Unions of Serbia at the White Palace in Dedinje last night. The reception was attended by about three hundred representatives of the three biggest Unions: Association of Free and Independent Unions, Federation of Autonomous Unions of Serbia and United Unions "Independence". Serbian Minister of Construction and Urban Planning Mr. Dragoslav Sumarac was among the invitees. Welcoming the guests, Crown Prince Alexander II said that a state based on law and democracy can't be imagined without trade unions, for their essence was always to represent the interests of their members, and not of the government. "You should know that you will always and everywhere have the support and understanding of the Crown in your efforts and struggle for a developed economy, full employment, European standard of living, quality social programs and trade union freedoms and rights", said the Crown Prince. On behalf of the invitees, Their Royal Highnesses were addressed by the Chairperson of the Association of Free and Independent Unions Mrs. Ranka Savic, chairperson of the Federation of Autonomous Unions of Serbia Mr. Milenko Smiljanic and vice chairperson of the United Unions "Independence", Mr. Zoran Stojanovic. They thanked for the support, pointing out that the return of the Royal Family in the Fatherland and gathering of all unions at the White Palace is the sign that we now live in new democratic society, and they expressed their hope that now the trade unions will take the place, role and importance that belong to them. |

Twenty Schools to Appear in SCHOLASTIC BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS For Most Minutes Read
NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kids around the globe have a reason to celebrate: they set a new world record for summer reading! As part of the Scholastic Summer Challenge, a free program designed to keep kids reading throughout the summer months when school is out, kids representing all 50 states and 30 countries read and logged an impressive 176,438,473 minutes, breaking last year's world record of 95,859,491 minutes. In addition to logging their minutes, children participated in weekly reading challenges, earned virtual rewards and contributed to their school's overall minutes. Of the 4,284 schools that participated, Jackson Elementary School in McAllen, TX ranks as the #1 school for logging the most minutes, and wins a visit from Dav Pilkey, author of the bestselling Captain Underpants series.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100907/SCHOLASTICLOGO)
The Top 20 schools that read and logged the most minutes will be listed in the 2014 Scholastic Book of World Records, which will be available through the Scholastic Reading Club, Scholastic Book Fairs, and book stores nationwide; each of these schools will also receive a personalized plaque.
"We are extremely impressed with the amount of reading kids did to help set an outstanding new world record for summer reading," said Francie Alexander, Chief Academic Officer at Scholastic. "Now that these kids have proved they have reading stamina and can read for many minutes, we encourage them to continue to read independently throughout the school year so they are better prepared to meet rigorous standards and can continue to find books they love."
The Top 20 Schools in the 2013 Scholastic Summer Challenge are:
To see the list of the Top 100 schools, visit www.scholastic.com/summer.
The Scholastic Summer Challenge kicked off its seventh year on May 6, 2013. Kids from around the world were invited to log their reading minutes with the Scholastic Reading Timer mobile app or online at scholastic.com/summer. Throughout the summer, kids could visit their profile page to check their personal reading stats, watch book trailer videos, enter sweepstakes, and earn digital rewards from the prize center.
To further the message about the importance of summer reading in the U.S. and increase access to books within their communities, 42 Governors' Spouses and three Governors joined the Scholastic Summer Challenge as Reading Ambassadors. On behalf of their participation, Scholastic donated 500 books to each Reading Ambassador's school of choice (for a total of 22,500 books) so that students in their states could take home books and read over summer vacation.
For the fourth year in a row, WordGirl™ served as the national "Ambassador of Summer Reading" for the Scholastic Summer Challenge. She adopted summer reading as her cause, encouraging kids to read books over the summer because reading introduces new words, and new words, in turn, make better readers.
Teachers and students are now invited to join READ 100,000 on the Scholastic website at www.scholastic.com/minutes, where students can continue logging their minutes read during the school year. READ 100,000 helps schools strengthen students' reading skills by motivating kids to read as part of a school team and recognizing their achievements. The school-wide goal is to READ 100,000 minutes or more!

Gems are truly truly outrageous, even more so when they satisfy not only your eye, but your sweet tooth, too. Diamonds are a girl's best friend and glitter is a crafty girl's ultimate go-to. There's simply no such thing as too much sparkle, so dress up your desserts and wow the guests at your next fancy fete with a decadent and elegantly edible DIY.
To create: dust candy mold with different shades of edible glitter, using a clean paint brush. It magically sticks to all sides! Melt white chocolate following the package's specific directions. Use a small spoon to pour the melted white chocolate into the mold. Place the filled mold into the refrigerator for at least a few hours until set completely. Once hardened, carefully remove from the mold. You may want to add a little extra hint of glitter on the bottoms or on sides.
I wanna make these!!!
Bre's 3D printed heart is full of joy at the opening of the new MakerBot store.
I Find it interesting that they think this is a new thing when in reality 3D printers have been around for YEARS!!

Mazda RX-7 1984-1991, Fully-Automatic Power Antenna by Metra®. Replace the broken automatic antenna on your vehicle with this fully automatic antenna. May also be adapted to other vehicles with adequate clearance below the fender.
- Fully automatic with five 1" custom mounting bases
- 31" 4-section replaceable mast
- 55" detachable cable
- Needs 11.5" under fender
- Custom mounting bases
Replace that burned-out or sticky automatic antenna with a new unit. Or use this antenna to upgrade your standard stationary mast, especially if you live where antenna vandalism is an issue. This antenna uses power from the head unit to run itself up or down when the stereo is turned on or off. It can also be wired to a switch, or even wired to go up and down with the ignition. Preserve your ride's clean lines by making the antenna disappear. This unit is a direct replacement for many FoMoCo vehicles, but may fit many others; it requires almost a full foot of clearance under the fender.

| Posted by Brett D. | (Elgin, IL)Working with an older vehicle with limited choices can present some problems. I was happy to find a replacement antenna, but some things to note are: some bending of the hardware needed to be done in order to keep it from slipping over itself and out the top of the fender. Even though the antenna came with a multitude of base plates, the angle never was spot on, and in the end, the antenna needed to be bent in order to get it straight. On the upside, you can't beat the price, and it arrived in a timely manner.

I called and talked to them and they told me they had to talk to the manufacturer. I was like 'uh okay' so after two days of waiting for them to get approval to get a return label and send me my antenna. Well I was told I had to wait some more because the manufacturer wasn't answering. After about two weeks of this, I finally called Metra directly and the sales rep that handles CARiD sent me my antenna and told me just to toss the extension cable.

I have stayed here a number of times and have always been satisfied but this time the shower was not working. It was difficult to adjust and went from hot to cold and back again without touching the control. I reported this the first morning but the man at the desk said he didn't think they could have it fixed that day and I had one more night in the […] motel. They didn't get it repaired and didn't offer a change of room or any compensation. When I checked out I reported it again and was told by another desk person that they appreciated that I had reported it but no action on the part of the motel to provide compensation. It is an aging property and these things may be happening more frequently. I was surprised by the disinterest of the staff in the problem. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com

Front desk was great, staff was nice, lobby was surprisingly fancy. Our room was totally fine in appearance, it's what we expected. The Bathroom walls could have used a wipe down, and the bed was insanely uncomfortable. But for one night it's all we needed.

"Only interchange with a few staff"
Eventhough this motel was down town Victoria, I was disappointed in the overall room condition. that is, it seemed clean but not good upkeep as far as finish work. Look in the corners in the bath room and other places. Next visit, I will be much more in questioning the age, the condition. Maybe, I just need to select a more expessive unit. And not […] wait until ready to make a committment before I even knew what and where I would be staying. That is the the way the selection process is set up. I should have stopped the second that I did not know what motel was being presented to me. Yes, maybe I thought it was going to be a good match in price and quality, but not so.

"Concert accommodation."
A good price especially in high season. A block away from the Save On Foods Memorial Arena. Paul's is an old motel with character. Clean rooms but dated. Phone rattled, tube tv. Shower head was pretty short, pillows too squishy but lots of them. Loved the bottle opener on the wall. Little tables and lawn chairs outside the room doors to enjoy a beverage […] before rocking out the night. We will definitely book Paul's for our next concert weekend.

"Did not live up to its potential, so disappointing"
I chose this place because it offered a quiet courtyard within the busy city, and I could also get a ground floor unit. It was lovely and quiet ... until 10 Pm when a couple decided to have a loud yelling match. Then quiet again until the bars got out (this was a week day night) and two rooms upstairs decided to hang out on the balcony around midnight […] for a smoke (this was a non-smoking motel) and more loud talking and singing and slamming doors going in and out. I called the front desk at 1:15 AM. They took care of the problem immediately ... but I had to get to the hospital in the morning and my night's sleep was already shot. Then, in the morning, there was no hot water for a shower, only luke warm. In addition, it advertised a full-time on-site restaurant. Closed that night, though opened for breakfast, but by then I was gone. For the carriage trade who wants a reliable place, or anyone on a budget, I have gotten much better for $20 less a night.

High Fidelity
Screenplay : D.V. DeVincentis & Steve Pink & John Cusack and Scott Rosenberg (based on the novel by Nick Hornby)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2000
Stars : John Cusack (Rob Gordon), Iben Hjejle (Laura), Todd Louiso (Dick), Jack Black (Barry), Lisa Bonet (Marie DeSalle), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Charlie), Joan Cusack (Liz), Tim Robbins (Ian), Chris Rehmann (Vince), Ben Carr (Justin), Lili Taylor (Sarah), Joelle Carter (Penny)
"High Fidelity" is a film that never really seems to be going anywhere in particular because it's not specifically about a plot. Granted, there are carefully defined characters and the action moves forward through a series of cause-and-effect links, but it doesn't feel forced or prefabricated like so many other film narratives. Instead, it bounces along the rhythms of normal existence, which often include meandering routes and a great deal of musing over seemingly inconsequential details.
One of the major themes moving throughout "High Fidelity" is the complex yet seemingly asinine art of ranking inconsequential details into a hierarchy that eventually becomes a system through which we might define existence. In other words, ranking anything and everything into top five lists (perhaps this is why so many critics have taken a shine to the film, since the ordering of films into various hierarchies of importance is one of our primary occupations). This theme of ranking anything and everything is introduced early in the film, when the protagonist, a used-record store owner named Rob (John Cusack), begins enumerating his top five most painful break-ups after losing his most recent girlfriend, Laura (Danish actress Iben Hjejle).
"High Fidelity" is a nuanced comedy about the adult male as perpetual adolescent. It is, essentially, about the process of Rob finally growing up. At the beginning of the film, he is a case of arrested development. In his late 20s, Rob still views romance through the immature lens of a high school senior, where he can never quite get situated with a girl until she leaves him, and then he is heartbroken and crushed, not so much because of the loss of that particular person, but simply because he cannot understand why someone would reject him (again). The device of taking us through his history of dating by showing each of Rob's five worst break-ups is interesting because it gives us context through which we can understand what he is going though when Laura leaves him, which is essentially the heart of the story.
Of course, Rob is not the most sympathetic protagonist (it's quite easy to see why so many women leave him), yet he is also imminently likable. Much of this is due to the presence of John Cusack in the role; since his earliest teen roles in films like "Better Off Dead" (1985) and "Say Anything" (1989), Cusack has been the rarest of all Hollywood creations: the human movie star. No matter what role he plays, Cusack has a way of bringing the character down to earth and giving him the texture and feel of an actual human being. This is especially true of Rob, who is allowed an particularly intimate rapport with the audience in that he delivers long monologues directly to the viewer, effectively breaking down the fourth wall and inviting the audience into the film. It's a risky ploy, but here it works brilliantly because Cusack is so at ease with the device.
The film is populated by a wide variety of fascinating characters, including the two guys who work at Rob's store, the hopelessly introverted and inarticulate Dick (Todd Louiso) and his polar opposite, the obnoxiously loud and completely uninhibited Barry (Jack Black). Dick and Barry spend most of the film bantering about rock music minutiae, such as a developing a list of the top five rock albums with the best first track. This gives the film a feisty edge in that it displays an almost surreal knowledge of pop culture, but it also grounds the characters in that there are fans of popular culture who spend a great deal of time engaged in precisely this kind of activity, which then spills over into the rest of their lives.
While "High Fidelity" is a comedy, it is also a moving story about modern romance. It is not sappy or contrived in any way; instead, it presents its characters as flawed humans who make mistakes, but deserve second chances. Rob matter-of-factly informs us of some of the mistakes he made in his relationship with Laura, and she is not much better, having taken up a relationship with a pony-tailed self-help guru named Ian (played in an amusing cameo by Tim Robbins). In the end, we want Rob and Laura to get back together simply because they come across as real people, which is all too rare in the movies.
The film was based on a 1995 novel by Nick Hornby, and the location has been seamlessly transplanted from London to Chicago. The screenwriters, D.V. DeVincentis, Steve Pink, John Cusack, and Scott Rosenberg, take large chunks of the book and use it verbatim in the film, and it works because of the intimate connection between Rob and the audience via his direct dialogue.
The director, Stephen Frears, plays it loose and light. He doesn't put any pressure on the narrative flow; rather, he allows it to play itself out by its own rules. Parts of the film seem to ramble on without much purpose, but it all ties back together in the end because it has the flow and feel of real life, rather than the hurried pace of something that has been written to reflect life.

"The U.N. mission is uniquely capable of establishing in an impartial and credible manner the facts of any use of chemical weapons," Martin Nesirky, spokesman for Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, said repeatedly at a news conference Sunday.
But the U.N. probe's mandate is only to determine whether chemical weapons were used -- not by whom.
Obama argued Wednesday that that's no longer in question. "Frankly, nobody is really disputing that chemical weapons were used," he said.
Russia - which, along with China, would likely block any U.N. resolution authorizing military action in Syria -- has repeatedly thrown cold water on suggestions that there's proof of Syria culpability.
"If there are data that the chemical weapons have been used, and used specifically by the regular army, this evidence should be submitted to the U.N. Security Council," Putin said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press and Russia's state Channel 1 television.
"It should be a deep and specific probe containing evidence that would be obvious and prove beyond doubt who did it and what means were used."
If there was such evidence, Russia might support a resolution authorizing military strikes, Putin said.
Syria: Allegations 'false and unfounded'
Syria still insists it never used chemical weapons.
"These allegations are false and unfounded," Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar al-Ja'afari said Tuesday in an interview with CNN.
He cited the confidence that the United States said it had a decade ago when it argued that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
It's an argument Kerry was prepared for before Congress on Tuesday.
He noted that he and Hagel were senators at the time of the Iraq vote.
"And so we are especially sensitive, Chuck and I, to never again asking any member of Congress to take a vote on faulty intelligence. And that is why our intelligence community has scrubbed and re-scrubbed the evidence."

You've probably already heard the term homebrewing, but what does it essentially mean to make homebrew beer these days? Is it really legal and authorized in the U.S. To make your own lager at home? Lucky for all of us, the answer's yes!
In the 1970′s homebrewing was made legal by President Jimmy Carter, and so long as you do not try to sell it, the government truly doesn't care if you make lager at home. So you will need 1 or 2 key items before starting to make lager in your kitchen. But don't worry, we can teach you how to make homebrew the easy way.
Sanitizer is an exceedingly important piece of your home brewery. The hardware you brew with must be cleaned up right before use, or you can spoil your lager. This prevents threatening bacteria from having the ability to grow in the lager. It also keeps out unnecessary micro-organisms that you do not want in there either.
One can not skip measuring the original gravity readings with a hydrometer if you would like to actually do it properly. The ability to precisely measure this allows someone to accurately determine if the wort is ready for fermentation preventing a bad batch. It also tells you how much alcohol is in your beer.
Using a hops bag or other grain bag is a useful way to contain all the loose ingredients that are used during the boiling process and allows for convenient removal when finished. This is a good idea, as cleaning up and straining out hops could be a real discomfort. Dependent on the type of material employed in production, re-cyclable bags are available removing the need to strain before fermentation. They're a big time saver.
Beginner recipes and kits are available for those new to the hobby. Home-brewed beer is a creative and time intensive process that takes care and precision. With a unending variety of ingredients available, the results are unthinkable. The most important thing is to have fun while you make homebrew!

Russ Parsons' Dry-Brined Turkey (a.k.a. The Judy Bird)
Author Notes: This recipe won a turkey taste test with staff of the L.A. Times Food Section in 2006 and Russ Parsons, the Food Editor at the paper, has been writing about it every Thanksgiving since. The technique is inspired by chef Judy Rodgers, who dry brines the famous roast chicken (and just about everything else) at Zuni Café in San Francisco, but never a turkey. Parsons decided to try it and found, not only does it work -- it comes out perfectly juicy and crisp, with none of the sponginess that you sometimes get with wet-brined birds. He tests a new variation each year, and slashes steps he decides aren't important. He's grilled the brined turkey, and added herbs and spices to the salt -- but his most genius discovery is that you can brine a frozen bird as it's defrosting. And why wouldn't you? - Genius Recipes
Serves 11-15
- One 12- to 16-pound turkey (frozen is fine)
- Kosher salt
- Herbs and/or spices to flavor the salt (optional -- see suggestions in step 1)
- Melted butter for basting (optional)
- Wash the turkey inside and out, pat it dry and weigh it. Measure 1 tablespoon of salt -- we used Diamond Crystal -- into a bowl for every 5 pounds the turkey weighs (for a 15-pound turkey, you'd have 3 tablespoons). You can flavor the salt with herbs and spices if you like -- try smoked paprika and orange zest, bay leaf and thyme, or rosemary and lemon zest. Grind together with the salt in a spice grinder, small food processor, or mortar and pestle.
- Sprinkle the inside of the turkey lightly with salt. Place the turkey on its back and salt the breasts, concentrating the salt in the center, where the meat is thickest. You'll probably use a little more than a tablespoon.
- Turn the turkey on one side and sprinkle the entire side with salt, concentrating on the thigh. You should use a little less than a tablespoon. Flip the turkey over and do the same with the opposite side.
- Place the turkey in a 2 1/2-gallon sealable plastic bag, press out the air and seal tightly. (If you can't find a resealable bag this big, you can use a turkey oven bag, but be prepared for it to leak.) Place the turkey breast-side up in the refrigerator. Chill for 3 days, turning it onto its breast for the last day. Rub the salt around once a day if you remember.
- Remove the turkey from the bag. There should be no salt visible on the surface and the skin should be moist but not wet. Place the turkey breast-side up on a plate and refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours.
- On the day it is to be cooked, remove the turkey from the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Pat it dry one last time and baste with melted butter, if using. Place the turkey breast-side down on a roasting rack in a roasting pan; put it in the oven. After 30 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and carefully turn the turkey over so the breast is facing up (it's easiest to do this by hand, using kitchen towels or oven mitts).
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees, return the turkey to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted in the deepest part of the thigh, but not touching the bone, reads 165 degrees, about 2 3/4 hours total roasting.
- Remove the turkey from the oven, transfer it to a warm platter or carving board; tent loosely with foil. Let stand at least 30 minutes to let the juices redistribute through the meat. Carve and serve.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

I only got my brine in for 30 hours and it was still perfect - moist and delicious. We had a 25 pound bird and it was done in 3 hours - thank god I checked it often or I would have overcooked it. This was the first time in years we sat down to Thanksgiving dinner before 7pm…everyone raved.

It's everything promised and more. I stuffed the bird and roasted according to a 1980 Bon Appetit cover article with Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey...been using their jalapeno cornbread stuffing and cooking procedures for 30 years with never a complaint. But this bird really tasted superior. Made great gravy too - didn't need any additional seasoning. Just perfect. Will never wet brine again. Thank you cooking gods (and food 52) for this!

A great, simple method of dry brining. Not messy or time consuming at all. Turkey turned out moist and great flavor. I used lemon rinds and rosemary with the salt. We'd had a 10 lb bird and cooked within 2 hours with no stuffing. However, I did put in an apple, onion, and half a lemon. This is a keeper!

I had said that if this did not work for me that I was never making another turkey. Myself and family said that it was the best turkey they have ever tasted. It was very easy to do really and I did not put it breast side down to start it off I just roasted it at 325. It took about 3 1/2 hours and then we let it set for 45 minutes really awsome recipe. Another thing is I did not stuff my turkey (this was also a first) I cooked my home made dressing in a crock pot worked great and freed up my oven.

This is a keeper. I will be preparing my turkey this way from here on in. Here are some notes on my experiences:
- My turkey was a 13 lbs. Diestel Natural Turkey from Whole Foods
- I too had a hard time finding a 2 1/2 gallon sealable plastic bag. If someone has a brand and source please share. I was otherwise very lucky because the butcher at Whole Foods gave me a bag that totally worked. My husband suggested using a garbage bag, but I could not get past the word garbage.
- Since the instruction said "roast" not "bake". I used the Thermador Convection Roast setting. I was also using the oven's temperature probe to control the timing. The temperature probe in the thigh reached 165 degrees in just 1 hour. Since this was far shorter than the 2 3/4 hours stated in the instruction, I took out the probe and continued roasting without the probe (because I thought I must not have inserted the probe properly). Fortunately I decided to check the thigh temperature using an instant read thermometer after 15 minutes. At that time the thigh temperature was way over 165 (I don't remember the exact number). So my total roasting time was 30 minutes at 425 degrees and 1 hours 15 minutes at 325 degrees.
- since the turkey was done too early, I decided to tent the turkey while on the counter. I think this is a mistake as the skin lost its crispiness.
- in spite of the high thigh temperature, the breast was VERY moist. I'm a white meat person, so I forgot to taste the dark meat. :-)
THANK YOU FOOD52 for this recipe. Although the instructions seems lengthy and complicated at first glance, I actually think that it is easier than what I was doing before. My previous method requires that I separate the skin from the meat and brine that way. AND it requires that the salt be washed off. The washing and drying after brining is VERY challenging for me. As was brining between the skin and meat without tearing the skin.
Again, MANY THANKS for this!

5 stars!! I made this for Thanksgiving dinner, 17.7 pound bird and followed the 15 pound recipe in terms of how much salt to use. I was fearful of the meat tasting too salty, but it was perfect! It was moist, but without a strange brined texture. The only thing was that the kitchen filled with a bit of smoke during the roasting time. I would definitely make this every year, way better than wet brining. Also, I used two garbage bags to wrap the bird because we didn't have ziplocs or roasting bags big enough.

Excellent recipe! I've probably roasted 60+ turkeys in my life; always used the wet-brine method. I've never made a "bad" turkey, so I was hesitant to switch it up. So glad I ventured away from tradition; this is by far the best turkey I've ever made! I used the "tablespoon of salt per pound of turkey", plus about a tablespoon each of fresh rosemary, time, sage, and crushed garlic and paprika. Followed the recipe as outlined; then let it rest for half an hour after roasting. My only advice would be that if you use pan drippings for gravy, it's already very salty and as in my brine, heavily seasoned, so don't add salt!!!! I added more milk and water to the drippings than usual and used only fresh pepper. Drippings made a lot of really great gravy! Best turkey, best gravy I've ever made. Juicy, moist and flavorful, and so much easier than traditional wet brining! Thank you for this amazing recipe!

Did not work out for me. My turkey was so dry. I started the brine on Sunday and cooked on Thanksgivings morning. What did I do wrong?
13 days ago Garrett Browning
Some thoughts: Did you pat it dry before salting? Did you bag it airtight during brining? Did you adhere to the recommended temp? Did you start the roast at 425 with breast down and then turn bird over and lower temp to 325?
12 days ago Chan
Yes I followed the recipe exactly. The look though was beautiful. I have tried few different recipes and different methods from wet brine to cook under ground (Hawaiian style). The only one time that my bird came out moist was deep fry. I try this again for Christmas

Chan, sorry this didn't work out well -- hope you had good gravy to make up for it. Did you check the internal temperature in the thigh when you took it out? Dry brining makes the recipe pretty forgiving, but if it goes way above 165 F in the thigh it will dry out (and it will get there more quickly than other non-dry brined turkey recipes).

I am planning on cooking my turkey on the webber. I usually season shortly before cooking, and my cooking time on the webber is usually about 2 hours. Any advice?? Will the dry-brine have a positive or negative effect and can I remedy if so?? Help!! :)

Someone posted that they Dry-brined their turkey 24 hrs before cooking and it worked, but I am not sure if results would be the same with grilling.

This is what a someone posted on here re bring a day before:
I did this again this year, this time with a frozen bird. After the bird had been in my fridge for 24 hours, I took it out, patted it dry as best I could, dug out the neck (the giblets were too frozen still), and salted it all over, then packed into a brining bag that I picked up at the grocery store. It continued defrosting, I flipped it once when I remembered. The night before, I took it out of the fridge and out of the bag, dried it again, put it on a tray and put it back in the fridge uncovered until the following day. Took it out about an hour before hand and then followed the instructions as above, though I put a cup of water in the roasting pan to help make sure the drippings didn't burn up. Had plenty of drippings for gravy, and got lots of compliments on the turkey (in the line of, I usually don't even like turkey but this is really good). This technique works even if you don't get around to doing it until the day before.

Hi Craig -- you don't need to rinse it if you're following this salt ratio, but if you've used a lot of herbs, you can always brush some off. Adding water now will get in the way of a nice crispy skin.

You should be fine to also add butter. The brine is just seasoning.

Scott, thanks for your response! I've been wet brining fresh turkeys for a long time, but they are really fresh turkeys and not a processed fresh one.
I am very interested in how this is going to work, and I will probably look at doing another some time this winter.
Thanks again for your response!

Janice and Michele - Oh my goodness. First, Michele, just trust the recipe. Please brace yourself and lose the bag, providing you followed the recipe so far (such as having salted Sunday or Monday, and unwrap the turkey this evening. And Janice, Butterball or otherwise, it's okay. In a few months or maybe this summer, roast another turkey, not a butterball, following this recipe and I think you will be well on your way to being the best turkey roaster around your neck of the woods.

So, I was just reading through these comments and one caught my eye...I normally don't buy a butterball, but I did, a fresh butterball. I normally do a wet brine but found this article and decided to give it a try.
Now I see where someone is questioning this method because butterball DOES inject their fresh turkeys too.
Please tell me I haven't ruined the turkey.....or if I have, is there any remediation I can do at this late time?

I'm using a fresh butterball also. I rinsed it off really well before dry-brining. I won't use any salt in the stuffing or the gravy and hope it will be ok - it's a bit late to do anything about it now. Good luck to us! Happy Thanksgiving!

I've dry brined a fresh Butterball before and it turned out fine and wasn't too salty, at least to my taste. You should be fine!
14 days ago Nancy
Thanks, Emily! I appreciate it!

Is it okay to use a turkey bag while cooking? I've never cooked a turkey without a turkey bag, but then again, I've never dry-brined for three days in advance before, so I'm not sure about the combination of the two.
14 days ago Nancy
I've read comments from people who use the turkey bag after dry-brining. I plan to as well. Skin may not be as crispy, but I can't imagine why the turkey wouldn't be ok!

K like the rest of you am doing it for the first time, but I rubbed the salt on as I was by myself with a large bird making it hard to hold the bird up, put on both sides & what not. Does anyone know if rubbing it on vs sprinkling it on will effect the outcome of the process or not??

Rubbing might help the salt stick to the bird and distribute evenly -- it's not really necessary, but it doesn't hurt either!

Is Going Over the 'Fiscal Cliff' Necessarily the Worst Outcome? >
Expiring Tax Relief Would Hammer Middle Class
We can manage sequester, but tax hikes will cripple the middle class and small businesses
November 16, 2012
The situation known as the "fiscal cliff" is made up of multiple precipices, some much steeper and more worrisome than others.
One part—the so-called "sequester" that would reduce domestic and defense expenditures by $109 billion next year—is more like a downhill slide we can (and should) manage. After all, the federal government is spending over $3.5 trillion in the current fiscal year, roughly $500 billion more than in 2008. The National Taxpayers Union spearheaded a coalition letter signed by a "who's who" of 22 fiscally conservative organizations urging Congress to respect the sequester. If Congress changes the mix of program cuts, so be it. However, backing away from the $109 billion goal would cause more harm to Congress's already sagging credibility—and over the long run, our nation's credit—than moving forward now.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the fiscal cliff.]
Most significantly: expiring tax relief, the end of protections against the Alternative Minimum Tax, and new taxes associated with the federal healthcare law amount to a yawning chasm five times as deep as the spending sequester.
Tax rates for all brackets would go up, hammering the middle class and small businesses. The expanded Earned Income Tax Credit and other provisions that Democrats tend to favor would spread the damage far beyond any single party's constituency. Furthermore, a sensitive financial system would be crunched by capital gains and dividend tax hikes.
Purely administrative headaches to businesses and individuals will cause serious pain too. Thanks to dithering on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue it's possible that the 2013 income tax filing season will be delayed or disrupted even if an agreement on extending the tax laws is reached soon.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
Temporary policies like these are another reason why the tax code should be scrapped in favor of a new system; but it should be done deliberatively, not by default.
If the nation is able to keep moving after such failures of leadership, there is yet another fiscal cliff awaiting.
Entitlement spending was deliberately dodged when the debt-ceiling deal that is triggering the sequester cuts was passed. Regardless of what happens on the tax hike front, Washington's promises surrounding social welfare programs are unsustainable. Congress and the president must address this challenge and build a path over this giant canyon. Otherwise the United States will experience a fall it cannot limp away from—and the nation's taxpayers as well as our neediest citizens will hit the ground first.

I don't expect the same binary to literally work between all Windows or Linux versions (although in many cases it does, but I don't view that as necessary or even useful).
Plus, I am not disputing the usefullness of open source at all. After all, that's a big part of why I am using Linux. I am just saying that a stable kernel API would make life easier for most developers and businesses.
We should take the good stuff from Windows (stable API), improve it (make it source-only instead of binary ABI) and apply it to Linux.

Caffe Nero to come to Devizes (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

Caffe Nero to come to Devizes
12:57pm Thursday 14th June 2012 in News By Lewis Cowen
Caffe Nero, the national chain of coffee houses, is to open up in the former Curry's store in The Brittox, Devizes.
Wiltshire Council received a planning application for a new shopfront and signage and for listed building consent this week, but no application for a change of use from retail to catering.
If the plan is approved, it will bring to 20 the number of cafes and restaurants in the centre of the town.
A design and access statement received from Caffe Nero said: "The new (proposed) shopfront has a far more traditional feel to it than the one it will replace and will, in our opinion, enhance the street scene and sit well with the rest of the building.
"Caffe Nero's philosophy... strives for excellence in all areas in order to achieve their aim. Their aim is also to be part of and integrate into the local environment and culture."
Controversy still surrounds the company's Marlborough premises, which opened before planning permission had been granted.

With just a few adjustments to his routine, his future with the Padres organization suddenly seems much brighter.
Hancock has been nothing short of spectacular since joining the Emeralds, compiling a 3-2 record and 1.81 ERA in nine games. His 42 strikeouts, as well as his ERA, are fourth best in the Northwest League -- a far cry from his time in Fort Wayne, where he was 0-4 with a 6.95 ERA in 13 games.
"I had one bad inning, then I had a couple more after that, then I just got hit around a little bit," said Hancock, a ninth-round pick in 2011. "You shouldn't be getting hit around like that -- my confidence dropped, and that led to walks."
It was clear after his time in the Midwest League that something needed to change. Though his mechanics were already sound, he needed a fresh approach.
When he first arrived in Eugene, he met up with pitching coach Nelson Cruz and manager Pat Murphy, who offered the 21-year-old some advice that helped him right out of the gate.
"When I first got here [Murphy] took me off to the side and said, 'I know people have told you you're good. I want you to go out there and pitch the ball the way you're capable of doing and go after hitters,'" Hancock recalled. "'Your mound presence is huge. You just need to have that mind-set to go after batters, and if they hit it, they hit it.'"
The results came quickly for Hancock, who tossed five shutout innings in his first start for the Emeralds on June 17 and leads the league in WHIP at 0.92.
The challenge all professional athletes face is when they encounter adversity for the first time. Though it took its toll early on with the TinCaps, he sees a lot of good that the rough times have produced.
"You just have to learn from your mistakes," he said. "Everyone's going to get hit around once in a while, but I'm glad it happened to me now, rather than later."
Now, as confident as ever, Hancock will relish the opportunity to return to Fort Wayne, and move even further in his professional career.
"I want to get back there and show them what I've got," Hancock said. "I'm ready to go out there every single day and work hard."
Rock the vote: Boise first baseman Rock Shoulders has reached the final round of MiLB.com's Moniker Madness tournament. The 20-year-old Cubs prospect is facing Rougned Odor of the Hickory Crawdads for the title of best name in Minor League Baseball. Voting concludes Aug. 6.
Welcome to the bigs: Mike Olt, who played with the Spokane Indians in 2010, was called up by the Texas Rangers Thursday to join them in the thick of their pennant race. Olt hit .287 with 28 home runs this year with Double-A Frisco and becomes the 29th former Indian to appear in the Majors 2003.
Who's hot/not: Boise shortstop Stephen Bruno has hit .314 with one home run and six RBIs in his last 10 games. Eugene right-hander Tony Wieber has not allowed an earned run while striking out eight in his last 7 1/3 innings. Tri-City outfielder Jarod Berggren has hit just .130 in his last seven games, while Yakima lefty Alexander Carreras is 0-2 with seven earned runs allowed and seven walks in his last 11 2/3 frames.
He said it: "He was hitting a few too many balls to right field. So we said, 'Hey, if the ball's inside, you've got to pull it.' Then he hit the ball out of the park a couple of times and kind of liked that." -- Boise Hawks hitting coach Bill Buckner to the Idaho Statesman on the progress of Gioskar Amaya.

In some cases, students can receive course credits based on college-level knowledge and skills gained outside the classroom (or from non-college instruction programs), including employment and military training and service. Identifying prior learning that is eligible for college credit can make a student's education more affordable and reduce the time to a degree or certificate.
What is Prior Learning Assessment?
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is the process used to evaluate previous life experience for academic credit. Colleges and universities in Washington may use several different PLA methods to award credit for prior learning. Some PLA methods cost a student more than others, but in general, any PLA credit-earning method will typically cost less than tuition to enroll in the equivalent course. In addition, when PLA credit is earned, it may allow the student to enroll in, or advance to, higher-level courses.
Prior Learning Assessment in Washington
Prior Learning is defined as the knowledge and skills gained through work and life experience; through military training and experience; and through formal and informal education and training from in-state and out-of-state institutions including foreign institutions.
Prior Learning Assessment is accomplished through standardized tests (i.e. CLEP and DANTES), course challenge examinations, portfolio assessment, and crosswalks between work-based learning and college courses.
Prior Learning Assessment on Campuses
Every college and university in Washington offers some form of Prior Learning Assessment. Each institution has identified a PLA Primary Point of Contact for information about Prior Learning Assessment:
PLA Primary Contacts - Community and Technical Colleges
PLA Primary Contacts - Public Baccalaureate Institutions
PLA Primary Contacts - Private Baccalaureate Institutions

The World Press Photo Exhibition returns to Southbank Centre, bringing together award-winning photographs from around the world which capture the most powerful, moving and sometimes disturbing images of the year.

This year, subject matters include the Arab Spring - from demonstrators in Tahir Square to Libyan rebels fighting during the uprising against Colonel Gaddafi. There are photos from the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, and from the Norwegian massacre on Utøya island.
Now in its 55th year, 101,254 images were submitted to the 2012 contest by 5,247 photographers from 124 different countries. This year's exhibition contains 169 photographs and is comprised of the year's winning photo, together with award-winning images from each of the nine contest categories.
