Hi everyone! I finally graduated to a fancy machine, the opal 650. I LOOOOOVE it. However, I can't figure out what the actual seam allowance markings are on the stitch plate.
It's 10 (15), 20 (35), 30 (35), 40. I googled and if it's in MM, 10 should be the 3/8", but that doesn't make sense, it should be a 1/4, right? PLEASE help.
I've never sewn with a Husqvarva, but it makes sense to me that a European brand would mark the stitch plate in millimeters and not inches. If in doubt, just measure the distance with a tape measure. (I'd sew the seam, using the marking on the plate, then measur from the stitch, rather than try to measure from the needle to the marking).
If it turns out to be mm and you want the markings in inches (in eighths), you can buy decals with eighth-inch markings designed for sewing machines.
Hope this helps.
ETA: and congratulations on your new machine! -- Edited on 1/14/13 1:24 PM --
Scrolling down the message board I just saw this thread, which lists a couple of good ways to make your own seam guide.
Is this addressed in the manual for your machine?
------"Improvise, adapt and overcome." - Clint Eastwood/Heartbreak Ridge
"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
I was going to suggest that the best solution would be a new needle plate.
Stitch plate 1" markings
But then I realized that the default seam allowances are 5/8", 3/8", and 1/4", which aren't marked. Plus, it's straight stitch.
What was husqvarna thinking?
Though 15 mm is close enough to 5/8 and 25 mm is close enough to 1 inch.
------Bernina B330
Feet: 1,2,3,3A,4,5,7,8,10,13,16,18,20, 29,32,35,37,50,64,70,71,82,85,86, 92
By the way, sewing or seam gauge have a little hole at the zero (or the 1/8 inch) marking-- lower the needle through the hole,and you'll be able to see where the various inch markings should be.
-- Edited on 1/14/13 2:50 PM --
Wow, never knew what that little hole was for! Never even thought about it. Thanks for the information
When I got my BL Ellisimo i was totally confused looking at all those markings for inches and mm in needle left and center.
So I measured out 5/8 from the left needle and ran painters tape down that edge as a guide. I usually prefer the left- but whatever needle poistion is youe fall back just use it. Then the relationship of the other markings made sense.
------sewing brings joy and meaning to my life...

|Community Action Partnership of Riverside County
County Volunteer Tax Preparer
(951) 955-4900
Community Action Partnership of Riverside County (CAP Riverside) is seeking volunteers to become IRS trained and certified in order to support the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program this upcoming tax season. There are no prior requirements needed. IRS certified volunteers prepare basic income tax returns for qualified taxpayers in local communities throughout Riverside County. They also help to secure as well as increase awareness of special tax credits such as Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly or Disabled. Once certified, volunteers become IRS Tax Preparers that prepare income tax returns at no cost for taxpaying families who make $51,000 or less.
CAP Riverside tax preparers help put extra money into the pockets of local qualifying taxpayers. In the last year alone, there were over $76.6 million unclaimed EITC dollars within Riverside County. Certified tax preparers can help a low-to-moderate income family submit a tax return for an average return of $1,832. Training begins in October, and tax preparation starts at the end of January and concludes in mid-April.
Tax preparers are assigned to various sites throughout Riverside County. Volunteers are needed from all parts of the county. CAP Riverside tax preparers commit to serving a minimum of 25 hours throughout the tax season. Volunteers who complete the program receive a letter of recommendation, certificates, as well as the opportunity to earn the Presidential Service Volunteer Award.
The County of Riverside requires all volunteers to be live-scanned. For more information or to apply as a VITA volunteer, apply online at www.capriverside.org or call (800) 511-1110 or (951) 955-4900

|International Humanity Foundation
Direct an Orphanage in Thailand
"The International Humanity Foundation is looking for directors to manage our orphanage in Chiang Rai, Thailand, and be friends and teachers to our children. By bringing together disadvantaged children of Thailand and volunteers from across the world, there is a learning opportunity for both. As both sides discover more about each other, their lives and their cultures and go on to teach their own friends what they learned in this exchange, we hope to create a world of greater understanding and compassion. Our Thailand centre works especially with the hill tribes, the indigenous people who live in the tumultuous borderlands between Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos and as far as China and Vietnam. The hill tribes in northern Thailand face many challenges, and it is part of our mission to arm our children with the skills, attitudes and knowledge that they will need to have equal opportunities in their future like other Thai citizens. The children at our centre are from the Lahu and Akha tribes. Work - IHF needs people with all skills. No matter your experience, whether a student or retired professional, IHF needs you. At the centre, volunteers divide their time between playing with and teaching the children and working on international tasks. The centre host English, computer and math classes, and the children often seek tutoring for their homework, all tasks which volunteers take part in. All directors lead on one or more of our international task teams such as university relations, photography and child watch. To qualify to work at a centre, volunteers must complete eight hours of work on one of the teams, and they continue to participate on the team once at the centre. In the rare case where you lack the ability to complete these hours but possess certain trade skills in agriculture, construction or others needed at one of our centres, you may be exempt from these pre-trip hours. If this is the case, be sure to immediately get in contact with the centre director to discuss your situation and possible alternative tasks. It is important to note that IHF strictly requires its directors to work eight hours a day (four hours at the center and four hours online), six days a week. If this work is not completed, you will be dismissed from your position. As an entirely volunteer-run organization, IHF depends upon its members to contribute to the day-to-day operations, both locally and internationally. Without these daily hours, IHF would cease to function, so directors must be deliberate in their use of time. This is not a vacation. Directors are expected to work hard. Cost: Except for the initial transport to the center, directors are not responsible for any costs. Salary / Pay: Directors must commit to serve at least a year at the center. For the first three months, they are paid a living stipend of USD $120. At the end of this training period, the monthly stipend increases to USD $160. Directors are expected to work eight hours a day, six days a week, and have one long weekend every month. Admittedly, this is little pay for demanding work, but IHF is only looking for those who genuinely want to help children and who seek no financial benefit for themselves. This low stipend also assures that the greatest amount of money goes toward the children, the most important part of IHF. Please visit www.ihfonline.org or send us an email at email@example.com if you want to learn more or have questions about volunteering with IHF.

|We Care Mentoring Children & Youth
Mentors spend as little as 4 hours per month for 1 year with a young person. They do ordinary activities like biking, hiking, sports, baking, sewing, and shopping. But rather than do them alone, they bring a child along and introduce them to fun, new things. It doesn't take anyone special to be a mentor. You don't have to have any special training or education. All it takes is a willingness to spend some time with a young person on a regular basis. Kids in our program are waiting for an adult to come along who wants to give them the time and attention they deserve. Feel the satisfaction of giving a child confidence and empowering youth to achieve success. Invest in the next generation. Become a mentor. Mentors are needed in Hemet, San Jacinto, Moreno Valley, Temecula, Banning, Beaumont, Menifee, Perris, Nuevo and Murrieta. Male Mentors are needed the most! For more information, call We Care Mentoring Children & Youth at (951) 654-0080. Or you can visit our website at http://www.wecaresjv.org/

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From Portuguese favela.
favela (plural favelas)
- A slum or shantytown, especially in Brazil
- (Can we date this quote?) The Week, Issue 601, page 8
- Nine people have been shot dead in Rio de Janeiro during a power struggle for control of one of the city's notorious favelas, or slums. - Nine killed in shootout.

- The favela is now the model for most of the world's cities, as vast numbers of people continue to migrate to them in order to survive.
- (Can we date this quote?) The Week, Issue 601, page 8
The slum sense is named after the tree. The first favela was founded by veterans of the War of Canudos on Morro da Providência (Providence Hill). That hill was similar to a hill where a battle took place during the war, which had many favela trees. The name of the tree probably comes ultimately from a diminutive of Latin faba. An alternative and less likely etymology may be favo + -ela [1].
favela f (plural favelas)
- a species of tree, Cnidoscolus quercifolius, native to northeastern Brazil.
- (Brazil) slum (dilapidated neighborhood)

Consulting Services and CPA Firms
Read, William J., The CPA Journal
CPA consulting services have become an increasingly important component of public practice. Historically, these services are generally known as management consulting services, management advisory services, business advisory services, or management services. To assist CPAs in identifying what functions make up consulting services, the AICPA recently issued the first Statement on Standards for Consulting Services (SSCS), Definitions and Standards. The SSCS, which superseded the statement on standards for management advisory services (SSMAS) on January 1, 1992, provides guidance concerning CPA responsibilities when they are involved in consulting engagements.
The new statement also discusses auditor independence and the performing of consulting services for attest clients--an issue that has concerned CPAs and observers of the accounting Profession for some time. The SSCS states that the AICPA's independence standards relate exclusively to the performance of attestation services and that consulting for an attest client does not, in and of itself, impair independence. However, the standard does advise CPAs that there may be some cases where professional and regulatory agencies disallow supplying consulting services to attest clients.
Independence is a hallmark of the public accounting profession and an important component of the professional relationship between CPAs and their clients. It is one of the primary reasons why users of financial statements value the opinions of independent accountants concerning the proper application of GAAP to client financial statements.
While the phrase "auditor independence" has been difficult for professional and regulatory bodies to define precisely, the AICPA's Professional Standards state that "independence has traditionally been defined by the profession as the ability to act with integrity and objectivity." They refer to objectivity as the CPAs' ability to maintain an impartial attitude on all matters which come under his or her review," while integrity is defined as "an element of character which is fundamental to reliance on the CPA." The standards require CPAs to "retain their integrity and objectivity in all phases of their practice and, when expressing opinions on financial statements, avoid involvement in situations that would impair the credibility of their independence."
On several occasions during the past two decades, congressional legislators have raised questions about whether CPAs can remain independent when they perform consulting services for attest clients. The Metcalf and Moss subcommittees in the late 1970s and the Dingell subcommittee in the mid-1980s conducted hearings on the issue, but found no instances where auditor independence had been impaired following the rendition of consulting services.
For its part, the accounting profession also initiated several inquiries into the impact of CPA consulting services on auditor independence. The matter was investigated by the Cohen Commission in 1978, by the Public Oversight Board (POB) of the AICPA's SEC Practice Section (SECPS) in 1978, 1979 and 1986, by the Special Committee on Standards of Professional Conduct for CPAs (Anderson Committee) in 1986, and by the National Commission on Fraudulent Financial Reporting (Treadway Commission) in 1987. None of these studies found any instances where independence had been diminished as a result of performing consulting services. However, CPAs were urged to be aware that consulting for attest clients may be perceived by some as an impairment of auditor independence.
One of the concerns some critics raise about CPA consulting services and their impact on the appearance of auditor independence relates to the magnitude of such services as measured by the fees received. If CPA consulting services are provided in extensive amounts to attest clients, critics argue that auditor independence might be jeopardized. However, in cases where CPAs supply their audit clients with minimal consulting services, such concerns are not raised. …

4 Reasons Why the Duck Dynasty Brouhaha Matters
December 19, 2013 - 10:17 am
A&E TV's decision to suspend Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty is still lighting up social media. The network probably had some idea that any decision impacting its most popular show would generate a backlash, but probably underestimated just how large the reaction would be. Whether it had any idea of just how important a battle it was opening is something only the network execs really know. If they're the typical broadcast execs, they probably have very little contact with the kind of people who watch Duck Dynasty, and have no idea why the show is as popular as it is.
Wittingly or not, A&E has chosen a side in the culture wars. The network said as much in its statement last night, when it said that it strongly stands with the LGBT community, against a man whose offense was quoting the New Testament. That's a significant statement, one that Christians should not ignore.
Give Them an Inch, and They'll Take a Mile
Many on the right have seen the trajectory of the gay rights movement and concluded that it's wise to surrender on the marriage question to be "on the right side of history." The lesson of Phil Robertson suggests that once the marriage battle is won, groups like the Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD will simply move on to a new battlefield. They will not stop. They do not exist to stop. They exist to keep on pushing. The next battlefield may well be codifying the idea they expressed last night, that quoting mainstream Christian beliefs that have been in place for a couple thousand years amounts to hate speech that should be banned.
"A&E has sent a strong message that discrimination is neither a Christian nor an American value." http://t.co/tEjfxfL5J7 #LGBT
— GLAAD (@glaad) December 19, 2013
But discrimination against Christians is perfectly ok.
Unless GLAAD has a theological division, it's in no place to dictate Christian values. But that won't stop it from trying. The end game for GLAAD and its allies is among the most intolerant goals possible: They want to drive all Christians and Christian values and ideas from the public square in America. They want to persecute and oppress. They admitted as much when they supported Robertson's suspension for saying something that they didn't like.

The Saxon Stories
The Last Kingdom, first in the series
|Bernard Cornwell
|United Kingdom
|Historical novel
|2004 - Present
|Media type
|Print (Hardback & Paperback)
The Saxon Tales is a continuing historical novel series written by Bernard Cornwell about 9th and 10th century Britain. The protagonist of the series is Uhtred of Bebbanburg, born to a Saxon lord in Northumbria, but captured and adopted by the Danes. The story takes place during the Danish invasions of Britain, when all but one of the English kingdoms is conquered. The name of the protagonist comes from the historical Uhtred of Bebbanburg; Cornwell is descended from this long ago family.[1][2]
The historical story centers on the emergence of England as a nation on the island of Britain from the vision and actions of Alfred, later historically dubbed 'the Great'. King Alfred of Wessex reluctantly accepts that he cannot drive the invaders from the island, after his defeat at Wilton, and is forced to make peace with them. His heirs consolidate what Alfred begins.
Idea for the series of novels[edit]
In an interview with Emerson College, Cornwell said: Years ago, when I was at university, I discovered Anglo-Saxon poetry and became hooked on that strange and often melancholy world. For some reason the history of the Anglo-Saxons isn't much taught in Britain (where I grew up) and it struck me as weird that the English really had no idea where their country came from. Americans know, they even have a starting date, but the English just seemed to assume that England had always been there, so the idea of writing a series about the creation of England was in my head for a long time.[2] The historical setting is the big story; writing historical fiction needs a little story so the history can be the background. When he was about fifty, Cornwell met his birth father, named Oughtred, and learned the story of his own descent from the Saxons who owned Bebbanburg (now called Bamburgh Castle). Thus was born Uhtred, the protagonist of the fictional tales.[2]
In the interview, he revealed that there is a plan to adapt the series for television, in answer to a question of how many more books are planned for the series. I wish I knew! I don't know how the chapter I'm writing now will end, let alone the book, and the series? No idea! I suspect there will be a few more; I just heard that BBC Television have commissioned a series that will follow Uhtred's escapades. The company that makes Downton Abbey will make the programs, which is wonderful, and I'll need to keep them supplied with stories (I hope). So? Six more? Eight more? I just don't know.[2]
The series is frequently compared to The Warlord Chronicles, not only because of similarities between the two protagonists (both were orphaned), but also in the similarities between the foreign menace in the form of the Danes in The Saxon Stories and the Saxons in The Warlord Chronicles. Alfred also resembles Arthur in his mission as the only man to save his kingdom (England for Alfred, Southern Celtic Britain for Arthur) from an unstoppable threat.
The main character, Uhtred of Bebbanburg (the old Saxon name of Bamburgh Castle), is an old man telling tales of events that took place decades earlier, starting from his childhood and going on, his story intertwining with the story of the British Isles in the end of the ninth century. He intersperses the narrative with often-acerbic comments regarding the events and characters he describes. It is notable that the Saxon-born Uhtred, baptized Christian three times, has a very critical view of the Christian religion throughout the entire series. Though he took an oath to serve Alfred, he keeps his sympathy to the Danes, their way of life and their gods. This offers the reader a balanced picture of the conflict of the times, when it was in no way a certainty that there would be an England or Angle-land instead of a "Daneland" as the southern and central parts of the island of Britain.
Bibliography of the Saxon Tales[edit]
Bernard Cornwell mentioned in the historical notes at the end of The Lords of the North (third in this series) that he intended to continue writing The Saxon Stories, and he has. On his website,[3] Cornwell states "I need to finish Uhtred", the main character in the "Saxon Stories". The eighth, The Empty Throne was published in the UK in October 2014.[4]
The following novels have been published, with the UK publication date listed.
- The Last Kingdom (2004)
- The Pale Horseman (2005)
- The Lords of the North (2006)
- Sword Song (2007)
- The Burning Land (2009)
- Death of Kings (2011)
- The Pagan Lord (2013)[5]
- The Empty Throne (2014) [4]
- Warriors of the Storm (forthcoming 8 Oct 2015)
Television adaptation[edit]
In July 2014, the BBC announced that production would begin in autumn 2014 on a television adaptation of the Saxon Stories, to be titled The Last Kingdom. Stephen Butchard is the writer. A series of eight 60-minute episodes was produced.[6] BBC Two, Carnival Films and BBC America are involved in the production. The series is expected to premiere on BBC America on 10 October 2015.

Amboise to Paris in the morning?
Scheduled to spend three nights in Amboise then drive to Paris and turn in the rental car at Gare de l'Est (by noon) so that we can take a 3 p.m. train to Munich. What are people's thoughts about this versus driving from Amboise the afternoon before and spending the night near the train station ? (With the latter scenario we would return the car to Orly to avoid driving in Paris) Rental cost would be the same for 6-1/2 days or 7 days but we don't want to pay for an additional day in case we get delayed (or lost) in the morning.

High catch rates for prawns and fish were observed in the southern and northern parts of this coast respectively. The catch rate for all fish showed a decline during 1969-70 throughout the entire coast, that at Malpe, being exceptionally low, despite a four-fold increase in fishing effori there.

A review at the county department of job and family services will continue, despite reports of a reduced role of an outside consultant.
Chester Bowling, of the Ohio State University Extension office, still will be involved in the agency review, just on a more limited basis, said commissioner Ralph Fegley. It was originally thought Bowling would work for free, but his services would cost the county, perhaps as much as $12,000.
So, most of the review work will be done internally. However, Fegley said much of the review process would have been done internally regardless of the consultant's price tag. But the process still will retain the independent element, with Bowling reviewing the findings.
"We need to make sure we're not covering anything over," Fegley said. "As far as costs are concerned, if he came in four or five times at $500 each, that's not that much money to achieve the kind of process review we want."
Commissioner Mike Adelman added the county has other independent resources available, including the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
Fegley said the agency review was not a "fad."
"With the change of guard, we're not going to move as fast as we might want, but we'll keep it going," he said, referring to the resignation of current director Erich Dumbeck and the appointment of interim director Lowell Etzler.

With so much consumer activity moving online, retailers must be strategic in the ways in which they market products to internet shoppers. A significant part of those strategies will center on comparison shopping engines (CSEs) such as Google Shopping, PriceGrabber, Shopzilla and others. However, marketers are still struggling to make informed, profitable decisions about which CSEs are worthy of their budgets. Too many retailers look first at the cost per click (CPC) and never dig deeper to determine actual CSE value. In reality, it's the revenue-per-click (RPC) data that should influence retailers' CSE investment decisions. Marketers that know how much revenue each click generates can then determine the return on investment by considering the CPC.
Now that Google Catalogs is integrated into Google Shopping, the catalog platform is more relevant than ever to merchants. Google has reformatted the Google Shopping homepage. The redesign includes prominent placement for Google Catalogs, with "Featured Catalogs" on a banner at the bottom of the above-the-scroll page. Google's reintroduction of Google Catalogs includes more and better ways for merchants to connect with consumers.

I think that La Casa Gelato may have a gorgonzola-burgundy flavor. Check it out the next time you're in Vancouver.
I prefer a really good gorgonzola with an old burgundy to either of these.

ice cream/glace/gelato made with whipped cream does not melt in the same way on the tongue as it does when un-whipped. all the little bubbles of air prevent the taste from coming through as intensely as when the ice cream melts "on the spot".
and maybe this is the basis of the confusion gelato v. ice cream. when the cones-guy states that ice cream contains a lot of cream, this may be because traditionally, american ice cream is made with whipped cream, whereas the low content of cream in gelato may reflect that traditionally the italians will create the structure of their gelato by gently heating the egg+cream/milk mixt. a procedure i think you can find in e. david's italian cooking?
but what do i know of american ice cream apart from haagen dasz...
Posted 25 July 2002 - 04:48 AM
So I don't believe that major manufacturers use whipped cream at all. I guess they use milk, mix it with fat, and inject air. Soft ice cream that comes out of machines (like Mr Whippy or Mr Softee in the UK) have the air injected into the milk/fat mix by the machine. They have up to 90% air by volume.
I guess that the samll manufacturer who doesn't have that sort of machinery might use cream to avoid having to mix fat into the milk, and probably a regular beater rather than a pressurised air injector.
I am gonna get out there and do a Fat Guy. I'm going to eat ice cream till my gut is frozen solid, and ask the shops what they do. Wish me luck. In the immortal words of someone, "This could take a while".

Best gelato I've ever had was in Toronto's Little Italy - absolutely incredible and a way creamier feel to me than ice cream. I've had the same flavor gelato (Tiramisu) at Cones on Bleecker and found the stuff in Toronto to be far superior. Haven't been lucky enough to get to the Isle de St. Louis but had and insanely good fresh mango sorbet at Latitudes, the restaurant operated by Hilton on Sunset Key just off Key West FL. It may be owned by a chain but their sorbet was incredible. have been back there once since then and they had watermelon sorbet - very good but not in the same league as the mango.
Recently Oprah gave them a plug calling them the best ice cream producers anywhere. Instantaneous results, to the the point where they have had trouble keeping up with demand. Definately worth a try.
Hmmm... do you suppose she'll start an Ice Cream Club and pick some lucky viewers to join her at her palatial estate to eat ice cream and discuss its merits? Sign me up...

That is the best gelato in NYC. Hands down. It is a close as you are going to come to the gelato of Florence.

For both gelato and ice cream, mouth-feel is important, I think. I don't like eating ice cream that is overly-fatty, where it leaves an unpleasant film on the roof of your mouth. But it should be creamy enough so that it is pleasantly smooth. Not too sweet (but sweet enough), also, with the main base flavor showing through, be it chocolate, blueberry, etc. For gelato, I like it's denseness but not to the point of hardness. I always enjoyed gelato that when you take a spoonful, it doesn't let go quite at first, but is sort of "stringy" (can't think of a better word). In gelato's case, not overly sweet and with the core flavors shining through. For ice cream, I don't like giant chunks of stuff in it, but prefer the stuff to be in smaller bits, more easily incorporated into my mouth without feeling awkward.
Looking for definitions or descriptors of the perfect ice cream and gelato - what are the essentials qualities you should be looking for?
I'd love to learn to make gelato (vs. ice cream) with my ice cream maker (Cuisinart). I'm not sure how to get that lovely denseness going on, though, WITHOUT that powder that some gelaterias use. Does anyone have any suggestions, or if this has been discussed before, could I be pointed to the appropriate thread? Thank you!
Posted 27 June 2004 - 01:40 PM
Well - Just earlier today I enjoyed 2 cones at Italy's ranked 13th gelateria...Bar Trieste in Jesi (AN).
The owner is a certified Italian sommelier and makes all of his gelatos from scratch - using all natural ingredients + all the ingredients are listed with the appropriate flavor.
I suppose the major diff. between the 2 is that Gelato is almost always with the presence of eggs - mostly yolks - it is richer, smoother than ice cream - and the freezers are diff.
I cant pinpoint it yet but a few more months in Italy and I should know the exact diff.!!!
Posted 28 June 2004 - 07:07 AM
The main difference is that Gelato uses eggs and whole milk instead of cream. Overall Gelato has much less fat content than Ice Cream. The other difference depending on the quality of the Ice Cream; is that most Gelato is made "today" and from fresh ingredients.
Posted 28 June 2004 - 08:02 AM
As I imagine many know, "gelato" and "ice cream" mean the same thing in two different languages. Gelato is merely a specific style of ice cream that happens to be prevalent in Italy. We use "gelato" as short hand for "Italian-style ice cream" but it is just as much variation between different styles we call "ice cream: as there is between what we call "gelato" and what we call "ice cream."
I think it is a mistake to suppose that the use of eggs (i.e., a custard base) is a defining characteristic of Italian-style ice cream. First, it is not the case that Italian-style ice creams are always made with a custard base. Second, it is the case that plenty of American-style ice creams are made with a custard base. In fact, custard bases are so common that there is a special name for American-style ice cream made without a custard base: Philadelphia style.
The significant differences between the American and Italian styles are two
1. American style uses cream and has a much higher butterfat content. As the ice cream is frozen, air is actually "whipped" into the ice cream, making it lighter. Think about the texture of a fresh scoop of American-style ice cream -- all those little holes. This is possible because of the use of cream. Italian style uses milk and is not fatty enough to whip up.
2. Italian style is frozen and maintained at a much higher temperature. This temperature difference also contributes to a denser texture. One big problem with purchasing Italian-style ice cream in American grocery stores is that it is held at too low a temperature, which negatively affects the texture.
The end result of these two differences is that Italian-style ice cream is much more dense than its American counterparts. This provides a rich mouthfeel while at the same time being light due to the lower fat content. American-style ice cream works the opposite side of the equation. The air pockets provide lightness while the fat content provides richness.
Posted 28 June 2004 - 08:30 AM
Even the smallest pro machine (1 gallone) had a very powerful motor (1 hp) to knead the raw gelato until sufficient low temperature and creating very fine crystals, I suspect. There must be some freezing vs. heating by kneading equilibrium working as well to get that consistency.

Gelatin and glycerine are sometimes used in sugar-free and fat-free ice creams, to create the illusion of an ice-cream-like texture. But real ice cream shouldn't have that kind of gunk in it.
anybody have any thoughts as to where agar agar or other gelatin based products belong in this discussion?!

I've got David's book as well as a number of other ice cream/gelato books (e.g. The Ice Cream Lover's Companion, by Diana Rosen; Gelato, by Elsa Petersen-Schepelern; The Ultimate Ice Cream Book, by Bruce Weinstein; assorted other booklets, recipes, etc.).
Yet I can't seem to come up with the perfect gelato recipe. Some books/recipes call for an all milk based custard; others for cream based custards or milk with half and half. What I'm really looking for is a gelato recipe that mimics some of the wonderful gelatos we've eaten both here (in NY) and in Italy. Anyone have that recipe that you're willing to share?

Most Italian gelato is made with whole milk providing about 6% butterfat content. (In Northern Italy they may add some cream) Gelato is made with up to 10 egg yolks per quart of milk. Flavor is typically infused into the custard. The custard is churned slowly to make a highly dense product which is served at about 25 degrees.
Lemon Gelato
3 cups whole milk (organic is recommended)
Zest from 6 lemons
1/2 vanilla bean split and scraped
8 egg yolks (organic)
pinch salt
1. Heat milk to 170 degrees. Pour over zest and vanilla bean. Cool in an ice bath and infuse at least 8 hours in the refrigerator.
2. Strain into a saucepan, add half the sugar, and bring to 170 degrees.
3. Whisk the yolks with remaining sugar until color lightens.
4. Temper the yolks with the hot milk while whisking adding 1/2 cup at a time.
5. When all the milk has been added, cook over low-medium, stirring continuously for 5 minutes or so, until the mix is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. It should approach 180 degrees. (185 degrees will change the flavor)
6. Stir in a pinch of salt and transfer the pan to an ice water bath. Cool, stirring occasionally till the custard reaches room temperature.
7. Strain into a bowl and cover. Refrigerate overnight.
8. Transfer to a hand crank ice cream machine and crank slowly. (An electric ice cream maker tends to churn excess air into the mix.) When finished place in freezer for two hours.
9. To serve, check temperature and transfer to refrigerator, if needed to bring the temperature up to 25 degrees. Serve in very cold glasses.
Have fun,

If you ever really get into gelato making then try an Emery Thompson Machine.

The above information has come from many different sources that are in the business and are very successful. Some of them are from Italy and some taught by Italian gelato makers. I would take recipes from books with a grain of salt, because they're usually geared to the average home cook and not the industry. There are some gelato makers that use egg, but I find that it's far less than makers using no egg.
As for a great machine, I would recommend either a Carpigiani (use only a "G" machine) or Technogel. Both of these machines turn out some of the best gelato I have had, texture wise. I'm probably going with a Technogel myself. Both of the companies sell their machines for about 20K +/- a few k depending on the size.

News: Jenrry Mejia Dominant for Double-A Binghamton
Last night for Double-A Binghamton, Jenrry Mejia went 4 1/3 innings and allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four with his velocity consistently in the upper 90's.
Mike Silva from New York Baseball Digest was in attendance to watch Mejia last night, and after the game, Silva asked him how his big league experience has helped him and Mejia told Silva Francisco Rodriguez helped him with the mental side of pitching.
Given Mejia's injury after being demoted from the Mets, I wonder whether or not we will see him in the Mets starting rotation come September if the Mets are out of their playoff races, and I have to wonder what his status will be as a starting pitcher come next season – still, it's exciting to find out his arm problems are behind him and he is on the course which I feel he should have been on since day one, which is as a starting pitcher.

« Dysfunctional Disclosure |

Posted by Derek
I don't just spend all day in my office unraveling patents (or knitting my own); I do go out into the lab to make the wonder drugs from time to time. Today I spent the afternoon trying to separate two very closely related compounds - and not too darn successfully, either, as I found out just before I left work.
And once I get them apart, I'm still faced with trying to figure out which one is which. There are spectroscopic methods we can use, but it'll take a day or two. (Before I start complaining about that kind of thing, I should recall that I live in the days of powerful NMR machines with all kinds of tricky pulse sequence experiments. Forty years ago, figuring out which of these compounds was which might have taken a couple of months.)
But that said, these delays are something that a research chemist has to get used to. That's one of the things that I didn't realize as an undergraduate chem major: that professional organic chemists spend so much of their time purifying the things that they make just to get them to the point where they can start figuring out what they are. Understandably, these are just the steps that any dramatic treatment of the science has to leave out.
I can just see the detectives in a crime show asking the forensic chemist for the ID of the strange substance found in the murder victim's blood. "Hard to say," says the lab-coated one. "Our HPLC was acting up - we needed a new guard column 'cause Sam over there keeps plugging them up. Then we messed around for two days trying to get the peak cleaned up, and now the stuff doesn't ionize worth a hoot on the LC/MS, so I've asked the NMR guys if they can. . ." Holding their ears, the detectives walk away and a commercial for cat food comes on.

Marcie McBee
"Great source for cultures."
The bacteria used in cheesemaking are divided into two main groups: mesophilic and thermophilic. Thermophilc cultures are frequently used in Italian-style cheeses such as parmesan, etc. Thermophilic lactic acid starter cultures prefer warmer temperatures (when compared with mesophilic cultures), with a temperature growth range between 68-125° F. Optimum growth and flavor production range will vary for each individual culture or culture blend.
SU CASU is a thermophilic blend that works well for Swiss and Parmesan.
The lactic acid starter TA 50 series (GetCulture offers TA 52) are "slow" thermophilic strains of Streptococcus thermophilus (speed of acidification as compared to the TA 60 series). TA 52 can be used for mozzarella, Muenster and other semi-hard and stabilized soft cheeses.
The lactic acid starter TA 60 series (GetCulture offers TA 61) are "fast" thermophilic strains of Streptococcus thermophilus (speed of acidification as compared to the TA 50 series). TA 61 is used for making Italian and Swiss cheeses such as mozzarella, parmesan, Romano, provolone, Emmental/Swiss.
Thermo B
Thermophilic blend used for Italian cheeses. Contains a blend of the S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus.
Thermo C
Thermophilic blend used for high cook cheeses. Contains S. thermophilus and L. helveticus cultures.
Thermophilic lactic acid starter blend for use in Italian type cheeses, especially mozzarella.
LH100 is a thermophilic culture that functions as a flavor and texture enhancer when used in combination with TA culture for hard cheese, Italian cheeses, and Swiss cheeses. Produces a mild "nutty" flavor as well as helping breakdown the protein.

Winter Solstice Yoga.
The Winter Solstice marks the beginning of a season that brings cold snow and rain to many parts of the United States. Cozying up to a fire with tea and a warm blanket sounds divine as the nights are long and the hours of daylight short. Finding the motivation to get your body and soul moving on your yoga mat can be a great challenge. This coming season is time of reflection and slowing down, but it does not mean hibernation from your practice.
Restorative or yin yoga might be just the styles of yoga to keep you on your mat during the long winter days. Restorative encourages relaxing in restful poses, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous and immune systems. It lowers blood pressure and heart rate, not unlike what happens to animals that hibernate during the colder months. Yin yoga involves longer holdings and fewer asanas than many other styles. It focuses on stimulating the connective tissue, rather than the muscles that are utilized so readily in other practices. The asanas in yin yoga are often named differently than in other Hatha yoga styles, and can be held for a length of one to twenty minutes.
Here are some suggested poses and the reasons for doing them during the winter months:
Viparita Karini: This restorative pose is great for helping circulation in the legs which might not get used as often during the snowy/rainy days. It also is fantastic for relaxation and is an alternative position for the body during Savasana.
Ardha Matsyendrasana: A spinal twist is a great way to energize the back of the body and awaken the organs. With winter's less active lifestyles, we tend to spend more time seated and neglect the spine and internal organs. Spinal twists of any seated or supine variety are a great way to keep these parts of the body alive and stimulated.
Uttanasana: Many people find the shorter days during winter and the minimized day light bring on feelings of sadness and depression. Forward bends are a way to counter these negative emotions and gently raise energy. In addition, forward beds stretch the spine and the hamstrings which need it during sedentary winter months.
Utkatasana: If you wish to keep up strength in your legs and bring in some warmth to your practice this asana is a great way to fire up your legs and breath. Chair pose can keep your legs active and is an excellent choice for people who ski or snowboard during the snowy season.
Supta Baddha Konasana: It is important not to forget our hips, Supta Baddha Konasana provides a restorative way to stretch the muscles of this joint. It is said that many emotions are held within the hips and keeping them healthy is a way to help keep our minds healthy too. Supporting the knees with bolsters can lessen the tension on the back in this asana and increase the restorative nature of the pose.
Whether you are a power or yin yogi it is important to keep the body moving during all seasons of the year. However, we also should pay attention to the changes in our environment and adjust our practice accordingly. As always, you are the best judge of your body and what asanas feel appropriate. It is important to always remember ahimsa, especially to one's self, and never overdo asanas that are within our practice, or include asanas that are above our abilities. May the winter months find you slowing down on your mat, and enjoying the wonder of this restorative season.
