This is our son's first visit with Mr. Claus, he doesn't look thrilled, but I promise he was! I hope Santa brings you something good! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
Back in the day when I was a working gal, the company I worked for always had a great Secret Santa game that lasted one week, for four days you brought your "person" a small $1-$3 gift, and then on the fifth day, we had a party, and you presented your "person" a $20 gift and unveiled yourself as "Santa!" I love this game, so fun to see everyday what you will get, and even better to try and figure out who is your "Santa." The first year I participated, my "Santa" gave me this village set (a few pieces at a time) for the first four days! How awesome is that! It is a small set and the houses are small too, about 8" x 8," but the perfect size to set up every year. I look forward to it every Christmas now, and we added LED Christmas lights underneath the "snow" to add that additional light and glow! Every year when I set it up, I now think to those "working a real job" days and the few perks (and people) that made "the grind" fun! Have you ever played "Secret Santa" and ended up with a gift that you truly loved? I hope you are truly enjoying this Christmas Season and remembering the "Reason for the Season!"
What am I doing? This is Christmas time, I'm not supposed to be talking about Halloween! Oh well, I wanted to show off my little trick or treat bunch that I am so proud of. I did finish these guys before Halloween, and they were proudly displayed until a few weeks ago when I put up our Christmas decorations. I bought the kit for these guys from a great etsy seller The Cheswick Company. The kit was easy (though it did take a lot longer to make than I anticipated) but, was well worth the invested time! The kit includes the pattern and materials for five of these guys, and the little kitty was an additional pdf pattern that I purchased to add on, because I thought she would fit in so well! Don't you think so! If you want to make some for yourself, hop on over to the The Cheswick Company to find everything you need. They also have great Christmas decorations as well. I only changed a few things from the original pattern, for example, most of the faces were supposed to be painted on, but that made me way to nervous, so I just hand stitched the faces. See below for close-ups on all of these great little guys, and thank you Cathy for great patterns and materials! I hope everyone is truly enjoying the holiday season!

Family of man killed by FBI wants video of shooting released
Family members of a man shot and killed by an FBI agent in Oakland last month demanded Monday authorities release surveillance video of what happened.
The family of Jonathan Cortez, 31, also asked for the names of the FBI agents and other law enforcement officers who were serving a search warrant when the fatal shooting happened Sept. 13 in the Fruitvale neighborhood, KTVU-TV reported.
The FBI said Cortez was armed and posed a threat to federal officers who were serving an arrest warrant. The FBI still has not said if Cortez was the target of the warrant.
Cortez’s family says the FBI agent did not have to use deadly force even if he was a parolee.
Relatives said Cortez was a father of three who was “full of life, always smiling and went out of his way to help people,” including those who needed to get off drugs and into rehabilitation programs. They said he wanted to be a chef like his father.

Mister Smith Entertainment unveiled today the first-look image of He Went That Way, a thriller starring Zachary Quinto (American Horror Story, Star Trek) and Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, The Kissing Booth). Based on an astonishing true story, the movie follows a celebrity animal handler who has a chance encounter with a serial killer – and ends up becoming the only surviving victim.
The story happens in the mid-60s, when animal trainer Jim Goodwin (Quinto) was working with Spanky, a famous chimp that was the main star of a traveling show called The Ice Capades. Meanwhile, serial killer Bobby Falls was in the middle of a killing spree. Both characters got different names from their real-life counterparts: Jim is based on animal handler Dave Pitts and Bobby Falls represents Larry Lee Ranes, a killer sentenced to life imprisonment who confessed all his killings were done just to rob his victims’ belongings.
The first-look image shows both Quinto and Elordi in character in the desert, with the celebrity chimp unfocused on the back. While Elordi looks very persuasive, Quinto looks like someone who has no idea who they are talking to.
He Went That Way is based on the book Luke Karamazov, by author Conrad Hilberry. In it, the writer tells the story of a duo of serial killers that, despite being brothers, acted independently. While Hilberry interviewed the killers themselves, He Went That Way also used the real-life account from Dave Pitts to construct its narrative.
The movie, which has just wrapped principal photography, is directed by Jeffrey Darling, who makes his feature film debut after an extensive career as Cinematographer. The first-time movie director worked on 1988’s Young Einstein and 1990s The Crossing, and now has teamed up with screenwriter Evan M. Wiener, who previously wrote the independent films Big Sky and Monogamy.
He Went That Way is yet to get further information such as distributor, trailer, other cast members, and a release date. A teaser is set to be revealed in next week’s European Film Market–an event in which independent films are showcased to agents, financiers, and producers–and, along with it, more details about the movie.
You can check out the official synopsis here:
Set in 1964, the film follows the extraordinary true story of a bizarre encounter between a serial-killer in the midst of a spree, an animal handler down on his luck and Spanky the TV chimpanzee, resulting in a crazy three-day road trip down Route 66 together. Jacob Elordi portrays serial killer Bobby Falls (based on Larry Lee Ranes) and Zachary Quinto portrays Jim Goodwin (based on celebrity animal handler Dave Pitts).

The idea comes from Rob over at Warhammer 39,999 and the basic concept is to go back for a second look at those posts of yours that have faded into the background. Those couple of posts you were really proud of that have passed in time and are all but forgotten to your new readers.
I'd like to take the chance to highlight a few posts that have stood out to me over time and have always held a special place in my heart (posts that don't actually belong to me).
Then I'll finish it off with my own favorite "old" post.
Figuring I'd need to draw the line somewhere, I broke it down into three categories and decided to pick one for each. Modeling, Painting and Gaming. The pictures in each category belong to their respective Authors. I highly recommend you check them out, they are certainly worth the stroll down memory lane.
Favorite "old" modeling post
This one comes from Santa Cruz Warhammer and they share how they make dual purpose bases for a Daemon army. This post stuck with me because it's got to be one of the best solutions for this kind of thing.
Not only does it allow you to play your Deamons in 40k, you can play them in Fantasy with the mere switch of the bevelled base underneath. Keeping it simple makes it all the better too. You don't need tons of supplies or anything fancy (other than a handful of magnets) to pull this one off.
If I ever had a Daemon army, I'd do this in a heartbeat and then go out and buy myself the Fantasy rulebook and sit down for a nice read.
Favorite "old" painting post
When Sand Wyrm from The Back 40k posted his Tallarn 13th Company army pics,
I remember scrolling through the post and thinking how nice the army looked.
The post didn't have a ton of information about how it was done as it was more of a collection of shots showcasing the army. I later on did a spotlight piece on him and his army. In that article, he mentioned using light grey primer for his models. Little did I know that would be the start of some real changes to how I primed my models.
Favorite "old" gaming post
I was dumbfounded when The Black Parade posted their trick for maximizing vehicle deployment. What a simple and outstanding idea.
I saw this and made my own version the same night. Who wouldn't? And the biggest thing I learned by copying this little project was just how much I was shortchanging myself when it came to deployment. A two inch deployment zone from the sides and front of a Land Raider is huge. You can fit tons of stuff in there.
And one that couldn't be forgotten
I couldn't squeeze this one into a category, but it's one of my all time favorites.
Admiral Drax's Regimental Mascot.
It's the little things like this that put the game in perspective for me. Could you imagine taking the mascot to a tournament and setting him down on the table? I can only imagine the looks you'd get. I've always told the Admiral this little guy needs to be based and included in the force.
And last but not least, my old post
I don't really have a post as much as I have a couple of pictures I'd like to share. They are of my previous Lustwing army I've since sold off to a good home.
These guys were a huge stepping point for me in my hobby life. Not only in terms of modeling, but more importantly in painting.
It might not seem it at first, but these guys were a huge leap for me in a number of aspects from priming through selective detailing to overall color palette choices. These guys were influential in starting to define my style of painting and not just perfecting another technique.

It may seem like a strange idea to plant trees, shrubs, and perennials in the autumn, just when Mother Nature is slowing down and about to take a long nap. But the truth is that planting in September and October is often a very smart idea on the Cape and Islands because the soil is still warm from the summer sun, air and water temperatures have moderated, and water levels in the soil are neither too great—as is often the case in New England springs—nor at hot summertime lows.
Just like children, young plants thrive best in a consistent nurturing environment without highs and lows, which can stress tender roots leading to disease and poor performance for the plant in general. In fact, some plants actually perform better when planted in the fall, especially conifers like pine and spruce trees, which prefer higher soil temperatures than are often found on the Cape and islands in our cool springs. Certain deciduous trees like maple, ash, honey locust, crabapple, and elm also do well when planted in the fall.

After being on vacation for two weeks, I felt like I needed to go out to the garden with one eye closed and one barely open. I was scared to see what condition the garden would be in. I knew that it had been horribly hot, and goodness knows how well weeds love the heat! Needless to say, the weeds had definitely found home, and we will be working to reclaim a tidy garden for awhile. I did have some nice harvests though. I pulled some of the broccoli plants and will have to pull the rest as well. It has been way too hot for them. The peas are gone and need pulled as well.
We have plenty of tomatoes to start canning and eating. There were some cherry tomatoes that did not make it to the picture. Amazing how good they taste after eating nasty tomatoes the rest of the year. I may never buy another hothouse tomato again.
Beets! They were a bit bigger than I would have liked, but they grew extra long while we were on vacation. According to what my husband weighed before and after holding the bucket and cutting the stems down, there were nine pounds. We ended up with eight pints minus what I ate while peeling them. Yum! Now to get a second planting in.

I think we have become misguided on what living in luxury looks like. By this I mean we have mistaken lavishness for luxury. We see people lots of things, a big expensive house and cars and think they must be wealthy. Yet when we look deeper we often don’t see the very thing that was hoped for by accumulating things. Fulfillment. Contentment. Happiness. At the core of it all is the basic need to feel security where we can be our best self. In my opinion, lavishness doesn’t make that happen.
Lavishness is extravagance and excess. Our closets are packed to the point we can’t close them, our mailbox is stuffed with bills and yet we want more. It is like an unfilled hunger that never goes away. We think by having labels, brands, trending styles we are letting others know we have made it in life. We are living our best life. Others with less see this and mistake it for wealth and all the things they cannot have or have not figured out how to get. Life looks easy, carefree and all that any of us could wish for when we have it all.
What I have found is lavishness is often a topical element only. It can go away as fast as it came leaving someone’s life in financial ruin. It is accessible to those who can afford and is unforgiving and exclusive to those who cannot. There is jealousy, greed and manipulation possible because we become threatened by others who may take what we have. We become limited in where we go, who we associate with and what we do because it can be seen as unsavory to be seen doing something outside your circle. We purchase things to the point we don’t know what we have and yet we are always taken with the latest new things.
Luxury on the other hand, especially natural luxury, doesn’t care what your income, hairstyle, hashtag or lifestyle looks like. There’s not comparison of house sizes, car and clothing brands or even the latest trend. It is not driven by these things and yet it can be seen, felt and experienced in all the ways we physically see lavishness. The difference is luxury doesn’t go away or become inaccessible when your bank account is below a certain amount. Natural luxury cannot be bought and yet it feels divinely rich against our skin and fills our soul in a way lavishness never can. Luxury is within us all the time and isn’t competitive with who has more. How could we even begin to compare and compete with something that is uniquely custom fitted to us?
When we feel luxurious we feel rich, confident, fulfilled and carefree. We are aware of our potential and make the calculated risks to get to our goals. Our life represents where we are going and what is important to us. We have an energy and appeal that is attractive because it stands out. It is in how we move, respond, think and experience every day life. We are happy and know we have enough of what we need and everything we need to be successful, fulfilled, complete. Luxury is an energy in us that radiates when we think life is limitless and filled with possibilities. It is experiencing our best day and giving our best to it every day.
The biggest difference in lavishness and luxury is own perception of what it looks like. We have mistaken a good life to mean all these things we own and yet that often doesn’t give us what we need. We mistake a big social media following for friends and yet we feel lonely. These are lavishly excessively bold things that make us stand out but don’t give us the attention and spotlight we crave. Being monetarily rich and having lots of things, houses and cars seems like a wonderful way to live but often the same problems we have when we don’t have all that are still knocking at our door.
GIven the choice I would choose luxury over lavishness. I would choose something custom to me. Something I could manifest and expand knowing I could count on it to always be there. I would choose long lasting quality and security. I would choose my natural way of being me and feel the best I could feel every day of my life; looking forward and feeling happiness in the process. This is what living naturally well feels like. It is what happens when we choose our own path and begin to unpeel ourselves just wanting what is on the surface. It is allowing nature itself back into our life to heal, improve our health and soothe our soul until we remember who we are.
To learn more about living naturally well, check out other blog posts at dragonspitapothecary.com
When we are living in natural luxury we are comfortable in our own skin. There is no drive to be more than what we are because we know that is enough. We can have a beautiful life regardless of our background, past and bank account. We are empowered to make life what we want it to be and know what feels best to us. The image we hold of this is usually not anywhere near lavishness. It is more simple, comfortable, reflective of who we are. Luxury is radiated from how we feel in all that is around us so our life becomes colorful from that. We see the beauty around us and see through the things that are not in it for the long haul. We seek quality over quantity.
Living naturally gives us that luxury in life. It is generated through our own thinking and world view and what we surround ourselves with every day as important. It is how we see things and respond to them; how we use that energy to make up our own mind. The choices we make are aligned to what is right for our own needs and future. It is not based on this idea of scarcity but rather we will find the exact fit, enough of and perfect thing suited for us. It is such a simple switch that can turn a dismal beaten down life into one that is uplifting and filled with positivity.
When we feel like life takes more than we get in return and we’re barely making it, that can really reduce our self-esteem. We start to compare, look at others as having it better than us and everything feels like a struggle. This where we start to crave lavishness because surely is we just had more of what everyone else seems to have things would be better. We’d be able to get a little ahead, figure out what we need to do and things would be easier. The truth is when we start thinking like this we put limits on how to deal with what is in front of us. We see only one way to make things better and this more. Lavishness.
Instead, when we are living naturally we know regardless of the storms we are in there is still luxury in our life. We have what we need. We feel complete regardless of what is happening around us. The need to compare isn’t there because we know we will get and have what is right for us. We may not know how to do that just yet but we have the passion within us from the energy of luxury to create it. Living in luxury is a sensation that makes everything feel comfortable and personal to our unique needs. When we limit what that feels like with something just lavish we miss out on this whole other side of luxury!
I believe when we choose to see luxury as what it can mean in our life right now, right here we realize lavishness is secondary. We consider more important qualities like quality, craftsmanship, customization, and specifications aligned to who we are, where we’re going and what we need. There is enough for us and we are enough to enjoy, own, create, manifest and use this for what we need to do next in our life. Luxury is held within our own hearts and reflected back into all that we create around us. It expands whereas lavishness fades.
What I find beautiful is the more we look for luxury in our life the less we settle for anything inferior. We feel so much more alive as ourselves that we become brave in not letting anything put us back into something that doesn’t fit perfectly. That is natural luxury. When we feel so much ourselves that we only settle for what is exactly right for us and what we want in our life. We’re willing to work for it of course but we know in our hearts that settling for anything less is just things. It’s lavish excess that distracts us from our true calling. It is coming to hear the song of nature within our own being until it is the only music we hear playing.

Buffalo pulls away from Cornell women
The Cornell University women’s basketball team fell 59-41 to the University at Buffalo at the Alumni Arena in Buffalo on Wednesday.
The win keeps Buffalo undefeated on the season at 4-0.
Cornell (3-2) opened the game with a 5-0 lead, thanks to baskest by Kerri Moran and Nia Marshall, but Buffalo answered with a 10-0 run, sparked by two straight 3-pointers.

CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- Shares of UAL Corp. fell 14 percent Monday as the No. 2 airline increased its ties to US Airways through the latest phase of a code-sharing pact between the bankrupt companies.
United said in a recorded message for employees Monday that the program expands the airline's reach in a way it couldn't afford to do alone. The deal should generate more than $200 million in revenue, the company said.
"Our marketing partnership with US Airways is one of the many initiatives our company is implementing in our efforts to transform United to be more competitive," said Jim Hartnett, a United executive in charge of the carrier's alliances.
The agreement will put US Airways UAWGQ flights into United gates at its flagship O'Hare International. United will now be able to offer more destinations in the Southeast and East, according to a statement. US Airways gets access to United's cities in the West.
In total, US Airways will be able to offer another 104 flights daily, while United gets an additional 88 flights. For consumers, frequent flyer miles will be accrued with the passenger's carrier of choice.
Both airlines are engaged in a round of cost cutting that will shape their survival. US Airways has convinced its pilots to accept another $100 million in cost cuts.
United's flight attendants union, the Association of Flight Attendants, said on its Web site that the airline wants $2.4 billion in labor cost savings. No further details have been provided since Friday's update.
"The most important condition to us is that the lenders are requiring the airline to reduce its costs by about $2.4 billion annually. This is over and above the reductions planned for in the Recovery Plan we were working under outside of bankruptcy," the union said. Mid-February was given as a target timeframe.

Identify three factors that influence the melting point of a fatty acid and describe the effect of each factor.
a. Length of carbon chain: Short chain fatty acids lower melting points. long chain fatty acids are more likely to be solid at mixing temperatures. When fats are hard we have a high melting point
b. Degree of saturation: Saturated fatty acids have higher melting points. The higher the degree of unsaturation (more double bonds in fatty acids) lower melting points.
c. Cis and trans: If double bond is in the cis form melting point is lower than when double bond is the trans form.
Why is the crystalline form of a fat important in making shortened cakes?
Finer fat crystals produce shortened cakes with finer texture.
Is the crystalline form of a fat of concern when selecting a fat for frying? Explain
No because the crystals melt when heated for deep-fat frying.
Carefully describe the development of oxidative rancidity and of hydrolytic rancidity. Be sure to include chemical formulas and reactions to clarify each of the processes.
Describe chemically the degradative changes that an oil undergoes when it is being used for frying over an extended period of time.
T/F olive oil has more polyunsaturated fatty acids than lard does?
T/F a short chain fatty acid has a higher melting point than one with long chain
T/F a double bond raises the melting point of a fatty acid
T/F a solid fat with beta crystals gives better results in cakes than one with beta prime crystals
T/F when a molecule of acrolein is formed, one molecule of water is formed
T/F oxidative rancidity is accelerated by the presence of some water
T/F hydrolytic rancidity requires oxygen
T/F frying a potato can cause the formation of acrylamide
T/F oxidative rancidity occurs at the ester linkage between glycerol and a fatty acid.
Explain the winterizing of oils. Why is this an important step in processing salad oils?
Winterized salad oils can be used in salad dressings that are stored in the refrigerator without crystallization. This step is a refining step in which oils are chilled carefully to precipitate and remove fractions with high melting points that would interfere with the flow properties of salad dressings or other products containing oils.
What is the purpose of tempering a fat? How is this accomplished?
Tempering is a process in which temperature is carefully controlled by removing the heat as it Is released when liquid fats crystallize. The fat is being held at a specific temperature for the time required for the crystals to form and to stabilize in the flavored crystal form. Tempered fats can be stored with some variations in temperature, sometimes more than 25 degrees Celsius, and still retain their textured qualities.
Describe the process of (a) hydrogenation and (b) interesterifcation
a. Hydrogenation addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated fatty acid in the presence of a catalyst to reduce the unsaturation of the molecule and raise the melting point.
b. Interesterification treatment of a fat, usually lard, with sodium methoxide or another agent to split fatty acids from glycerol and then to reorganize them on glycerol to form different fat molecules with less tendency to form coarse crystals
Why may interesterification be preferred to hydrogenation in the manufacturing margarine?
Unsaturated fatty acids do not add hydrogen during interesterification, which may be desirable for nutritional reasons.
Name and write the chemical structures of two fatty acids
a. Docosahexanoic acid (DHA)
b. Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA)
Why may oryzanols and tocotrienols be of potential nutritional interest? Identify a food source of these compounds.
a. Because it contains two types of sterols and have high antioxidant purposes
b. Rice bran and palm oil
What is a possible mechanism for a fat or oil in tenderizing a baked product?
Interfering with water interacting easily during gluten development.
What can be done to minimize the absorption of fat in frying foods?
Maintain fat at correct frying temperature, control amount of food being fried at a time so fat stays hot, fry food just until done, and drain on absorbent paper towels.
Identify an example of each of the following types of fat replacements: protein based, carbohydrate based, and fat based
a. Protein based: simplesse
b. Carbohydrate based: N-lite, stellar, splendid, oatrim, rice* trin 3 complete, avicel, litesse, paselli excel, kelcogel, olestra

What are the two major categories of proteins in muscles? Identify and briefly describe at least three proteins in each category.
a. Myosin: principal protein, long thin molecule
b. Actin: myofibrillar protein existing primarily in two form (F(long) G(smaller))
c. Tropomyosin: very small least abundant of the three principal myofibrillar proteins
Name and describe four types of proteins in connective tissue
c. Pyrrolidine ring:
Describe the chemistry of collagen in some detail, being sure to discuss its unique amino acid composition.
Is of importance in meats because it is the fibrous protein found in structural sheaths both within and between muscles. It is rather complex protein that contains strands of tropocollagen, which are produced by the cells and then transferred to the ground substance for actual integration into molecules of collagen.
Explain the organization of a muscle, beginning with the composition of myofilaments
Begins with the association of protein molecules into myofilaments
Describe the chemical changes and the resulting color shifts that occur when myoglobin is subjected to different conditions.
myoglobin and hemoglobin are closely related cjemically, for they both are iron containing pigments with heme as the common component. They differ only in their protein component. Myoglobin has only one strand of protein polymer and a molecular weight of about 17,000. Myoglobin has a purplish-red pigment consisting of heme-containing ferrous iron and a polypeptide polymer (globin).
Why is cured meat different color than uncured meat?
What changes occur in the carcass after slaughter?
Describe the changes that occur in meats when heated.
Fat melts and proteins are denatured when meats are heated.
Muscle fibers undergo changes in dimension as a result of heating. shrinkage.
Other changes in muscle ensue.cracking in the I bands.
Muscle proteins in meat become less tender when heated.
Connective tissue needs to be considered for tenderness. elastin not modified. collagen molecules slowly change in moist heat
Conversion of collagen to gelatin has a considerable effect on the tenderness
What are the effects of extending ground meats with textured soy protein?
By mixing textured soy protein with ground meats, a given quantity of meats can serve an increased number of people an reduce the food cost. The comparatively low cost of soy protein contrasted with beef makes the use of textured soy protein as an extender attractive when beef prices are high. The water binding capability of textured soy protein and other soy products enhance the juiciness in part because of the water content. higher fat content in this when the textured soy protein is added
What is surimi and how is it used?
Purified and frozen minced fish containing a preservative, intermediate seafood product used in making structured seafood products. It is washed thoroughly to eliminate fat, pigments, and other compounds that would present flavor and storage problems during frozen storage
How does the chemical nature of gelatin influence its physical behavior in food preparation?
When gelatin is used in food prep the first step is to convert it from a firm, friable substance to one that is soft and pliable. The elongated gelatin molecules have many polar groups exposed, making it possible for water to be bound by hydrogen bonds at many points along each molecule. As water is bound the gelatin swells. The swelling of gelatin when it is absorbs water is influenced by the pH and the presence of salts. Swelling is bimodal in that it is less at its isoelectric point.
What factors influence the temperature at which gelatin mixtures from gels?
It is influenced by the rate of cooling. The temperature of gelation will be lower is the sol is cooled rapidly by adding ice to the dispersed gelatin or by packing the bowl containing the sol in ice than if the gel is cooked slowly at refrigerator temperature.
T/F dry heat meat cookery tenderizes meat.
T/F beef cuts from the loin are best when prepared using a moist heat method.
What are the merits and disadvantages of whole-wheat flour in baked products?
The nutritive value of whole-wheat flour is somewhat higher than refined flour, and it adds a slight color and coarser texture, characteristics that some consider assets and some do not. The gluten strands are shortened a bit because sharp bran particles cut some of them during mixing.
Describe the milling process and explain how the streams used in making various flours influence the characteristics of the resulting flours.
Flour production involves grinding and refining cereal grains by a process called milling. basic objective is to produce a comparatively fine powder consisting of some portion or almost all of the grain, depending on specific product desired. Milling begins with whole grains of wheat (or other cereals) which first subjected to a brief tempering treatment with steam to ease removal of outer bran layers. The one variety of wheat (or other grain) may be blended together and any unsound grains removed.
Identify the three overall categories of proteins in flour. What proteins are included in each category? What is the contribution of each category to baked products?
The three overall proteins in flour include
Describe both fractions of protein constituting gluten and explain how each contributes to the behavior of gluten in batters and doughs.
How many flours from cereals other than wheat be used in baked products? Why might there be an advantage in including triticale flour, cornmeal, rye flour, soy flour, or potato flour?
Realistically none of them really have ideal advantages because the wheat flour is the only one that contains the gluten and can give the adequate texture desired for breads and such.
Briefly explain the roles of each of the following in baked products: flour, liquid, eggs, fats, sugar, salt, and leavening agents
Liquid: Gluten development, Dissolve sugar, Dissolve baking powder to activate it, Starch gelatinization, Steam for some leavening, Some liquid
Eggs: Protein structure
Fats: Flavor, Tenderness, Influence texture, color
Sugar: Flavor, Color-maillard browning, Tenderness
Volume, Food for yeast in yeast-containing products
Salt: Flavor, Limit yeast growth
Leavening agent: Volume
Compare the effectiveness of air, steam, and carbon dioxide as leaveners in baked products.
a. Air is always a leaving agent in baked products because some air always is trapped within the mixture while the ingredients are blended. essential to the formation of the many cells needed to produce light & pleasing baked products w/expected cell size.
b. Steam is far more effective leaving agent than air, because volume is increased 1600-fold as water is converted to steam. Comparing to air which expands to a volume by 1/273 for each degree Celsius that the temperature increase
saccharomyces exigus and saccharomyces inusitatus produce carbon dioxide in acidic (sour) bread doughs, such a sourdough bread. These two yeasts are active at or below a pH 4.5 and function well in the use of lactobacillus sanfrancisco. Also contribute to good volume because of the saccharomyces exigus and saccharomyces inusitatus.
Why is lactobacillus sanfrancisco not used alone as a source of leavening?
Because it produces lactic acid, which reduces the pH of the dough to the range where saccharomyces exigus and saccharomyces inusitatus can generate carbon dioxide effectively but where s.cerevisisiae is not the preferred yeast.
What are the characteristics of an ideal baking powder? Evaluate SAS-phosphate baking powder against the criteria.
T/F gluten is present in most flours except rice flour
T/F unbleached flour produces lighter, higher quality baked products.
T/F starch contributes to the structure of baked products
T/F saccharomyces cerevisiae is the type of yeast used as a leavening agent because it produces carbon dioxide from glucose
T/F baking powder and baking soda can be substituted in equal amounts for each other in cakes?
Describe the changes that occur in muffin batter and the baked muffins as a result of stirring 10 strokes, 25 strokes, and 200 strokes and explain why these changes happen.
25 strokes will still be noticeably lumpy but there will not be any large aggregates of dry mix ingredients. Sufficient mixing of 25 strokes will achieve this appearance and the batter will be ready to baked.
200 strokes: excessive gluten development will occur. peaked pointed muffin tops
Explain the reasons for the steps used in making biscuits by the biscuit method.
Fat is cut in to promote a flaky texture, but much of the tenderizing potential from the fat is not available. All of the fat on the interieor of each flour coated piece is unable to come in contact with and lubricate the flour proteins during mixing. The kneading action in making biscuits is basically a folding action, which also promotes the development of flaky layers. In the oven, the fat gradually melts and spreads out, leaving a space where steam and carbon dioxide can collect and expand.
Carefully describe the desirable characteristics of angel food cakes, sponge cakes, and chiffon cakes. What causes the differences among these three foam cakes?
Angel food and sponge cakes are fairly tender; sponge cakes are a little less tender because of the slight toughening provided by the yolks. Chiffon cakes are more tender than the other foam cakes because of the oil, which is very effective in tenderizing them.
Identify the factors that influence volume of an angel food cake and discuss the effect of each factor.
Volume is an important attribute to angel food cakes. The quality and temperature of egg whites are key factors determining the foam volume and the final cake volume.
What changes need to be made when honey is substituted for part of the granulated sugar in the shortened cake? Why is each change necessary?
When using honey in baking it is advised to compensate for the liquid that honey contributes, ¼ a cup of liquid should be depleted from the recipe for each cup of honey used. Since the acidity of honey quite variable in different honeys; between 1/12 and ½ teaspoon of soda may be needed to neutralize a cup of honey, but the batter can remain more acidic in most cases
Outline the steps in preparing shortened cakes by the conventional, pastry-blend, and single-stage methods. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method?
Cite the factors that can cause a shortened cake to fall and explain why each factor has this result.
Excess baking powder
Opening of oven door too early in baking
Too little baking powder
Too low of temp during baking.
What roles are preformed by each of the ingredients in pastry?
a. Water and fat influence the tenderness to a pastry.
b. Enhanced by cutting fat into small pieces
c. Minimal mixing also enhances the tenderness of a pastry
What factors influence flakiness of pastry? Explain the effect of each.
Flakiness is promoted by leaving the fat in coarse particles, which block water from some of the gluten and then creates areas where pressure creates many thin layers of dough which is then separated readily by steam during baking
T/F yeast breads require more time to prepare than quick breads because carbon monoxide needs to be produced in the dough.
T/F biscuits are a type of yeast breads
T/F the method that is considered best to use to make a shortened cake with optimal qualities is the muffin method
T/F when making pastry, the ratio of flour to fat is much more important than the amount of water.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said they probably will include restrictions on using public transportation and visiting areas where they’d be at risk of transmitting Ebola.President Barack Obama vowed a more aggressive federal role.He offered assurance that a “serious outbreak” remains extremely unlikely — a somewhat weaker promise than one last week, when he said the threat of any outbreak remained “extremely low.”“I want people to understand that the dangers of you contracting Ebola, the dangers of a serious outbreak, are extraordinarily low,” Obama said. “But we are taking this very seriously at the highest levels of government.”Dallas Morning News

LENDERS MUST BE PREPARED FOR REGULATORS TO TAKE MORE ACTION IN 2013
Equifax urges better affordability assessment as FSA issues £1.2m fine
to mortgage provider for failing to treat customers fairly
London, December 2012 – Leading credit information and analytics expert, Equifax, has responded to the news that the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has issued a fine of £1.2 million to a mortgage provider for failing to treat customers fairly. Laurence Hamilton, Marketing & Performance Director, Equifax believes this latest action signals an increase in scrutiny by the regulator, which is only likely to get stronger in 2013 and beyond
“Whilst this latest FSA action relates to failings that occurred from October 2004 to the end of 2009, the lack of demonstrable affordability assessment is something that the industry knows the FSA, and its successor the FCA, will be examining much more closely in the future” said Laurence Hamilton. “The FSA found that the mortgage provider was unable to always demonstrate that the mortgages it sold were affordable and this, undoubtedly, has to be a key focus for lenders now.
“The FSA, in the MMR released in October, has called for making proof of income to assess consumer affordability central to lending practices going forward. The majority of providers in the mortgage market already follow best practice in collecting income data to meet this requirement. But we believe this latest action by the FSA highlights the importance of verifying income data to meet responsible lending regulation.
“Equifax analysis* has proved that verified income provides an immensely powerful indicator of affordability, with the potential to improve credit risk performance by up to 5 times. The challenge for credit providers is accessing verified income data as an integrated component of new credit application assessment.
“Income data is already being collected by mortgage providers. We are, therefore, working with these and other consumer finance organisations to facilitate sharing of this valuable intelligence to give them the ability to verify, instantly and reliably, information provided on an application form. Our new suite of products enables organisations to comply with the new regulations as well as improve lending performance, by giving them access to the widest possible pool of income data.”
Equifax is working with all sectors of the consumer finance industry to enable sharing of declared and verified income, which is accessible as an integrated component of application and customer management processes, eliminating the need for additional income proof.
“Having this data integrated into risk management processes means demonstrable compliance can be achieved through enhanced customer service levels,” concluded Laurence Hamilton. “Plus, the significant improvement in performance that can potentially be achieved through the use of verified income data goes to the heart of reducing bad debt risk.”
*Equifax conducted analysis of a sample database of consumers where verified income data was and wasn’t available to prove the increased power of verified income data in assessing affordability.

Many, many years ago, in my eighth grade oral presentation class, one of the few talks I remember giving was one about e-books. They were not even really a thing back then, but for some reason the topic was in the air. I argued against them, saying that paper was more permanent, more aesthetic, and more shareable. E-books seemed so ephemeral and somehow illegitimate.
I still find e-books more ephemeral and uglier than paper books. But I’ve given them a larger and larger share of my reading life. They’re just so convenient and portable. I check out books from the library, or download free classics, because I don’t like spending money on them. I can carry my e-reader around easily everywhere, get books instantly, and not have to wrestle with heavy volumes or awkward positioning.
Since I’ve started to read books in French, the built-in dictionary is a godsend. And the real clincher is that my excellent eyesight has at long last started to fail, and I HATE wearing reading glasses. With an e-book I can enlarge the text so that I don’t have to.
What I like least about e-books is the inability to focus on more than one page at once: to physically grasp the length of a chapter in relation to the whole, to flip back and forth to look at maps, pictures, and footnotes, or to correlate passages with diagrams or with other sections of the book. For these, I definitely prefer paper. And for a total aesthetic experience, with pictures and typography, give me a beautifully printed and bound copy. These still have an important place in my life.
But otherwise, I’ve done a 180 degree turn from my eighth grade position, and embraced e-books.
What about you? Do you have any opinions about your reading habits you thought would never change, but have since converted?

Stayed at this hotel with national holidays for a long weekend. As most of the reviews say the hotel itself does need a lot of renovation and redecorating but there are many more positives.
The location is fantastic five minutes walk to Babbacombe Downs and its fantastic views. Also at the top of the brow you can get the Number 32 or 11 bus to Torquay and they are very regular even on a Sunday.
Rooms - we were first given Room 194 which was a nice enough room but the view was of an adjoining outside wall and as we had asked for a nice view we asked for an alternative. We were then given Room 101 which had a better view but I think the cellars were underneath so you got the noise of the bar/beer pumps constantly. So we asked to be moved again and finally settled on Room 174 a front facing room which was ok. Although the decor was poor, the room was clean and the beds comfortable. Tea and coffee plus a hairdryer were in the room. The only downside to this room was the shower that had one temperature and that was hot!
Staff - the reception staff were very accommodating when we asked for room changes. The bar staff were friendly and efficient but a special mention must go to Christine and Rachel in the restaurant. They were fantastic.. even though they were constantly running around like they were on fire, nothing was too much trouble and the service was excellent.
Food - definitely no complaints about the food. The breakfast was spot on and if you wanted extra there was no problem. The evening meal was excellent with a great choice of starters, mains and deserts. Compliments to the chefs!
The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and when its finished I would have no issues staying again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

A mid-2018 study by the Indiana Business Research Center found more people are moving to central Indiana than any other region in the state. Globally, there is a growing preference for life in urban epicenters; today, more than 54 percent of the world’s population resides in urban areas, a figure that could reach nearly 70 percent by 2050, according to a United Nations study.
In Indianapolis, population growth will expand opportunities for consumers and businesses, while also causing a shift in the way we approach urban planning. Taxed energy systems and underdeveloped mass transit are only a few of the issues we need to address.
Increasing the rate at which we adopt “smart city” technology that enhances connectivity, improves quality of life, and better supports urban population growth is paramount for urban planners in Indianapolis. This technology will enable everyday systems and structures to work with—and for—the residents who use them, increasing the economic, social and environmental efficiency within the urban ecosystem.
Infrastructure is no longer limited to the city’s physical assets, such as roads, streetlights and sewers. Instead, it encompasses the invisible data networks that connect, enhance and control physical fixtures.
Smart infrastructure manifests in smart buildings that automate lighting, HVAC and security systems. Smart water infrastructure can monitor and diagnose underground problems, such as leaks and stoppages, and optimize water distribution. Soon, autonomous vehicles will shuttle people around the city, and smart parking meters will advise drivers of real-time parking availability.
The infrastructure to make 5G network capabilities—a key smart city indicator—a reality is already in place in Indianapolis. Using it will enable faster connections, quicker responses and increased data storage capacity.
Power of partnerships
Putting smart technologies to work in Indianapolis will require strategic partnerships among government, corporate and private stakeholders. Those working in tandem to guide the city in its digital transformation might find inspiration from others whose partnerships are creating tangible results.
◗ Singapore is rolling out one of the world’s largest smart city initiatives, the $2 billion Smart Nation, whose data network will be used by both government and businesses to offer to residents services such as predictive health care and cashless transactions.
◗ London, through private partnerships, deployed Infrared SmartEye sensors in more than 3,000 parking spaces that aggregate parking spot availability, transmit it to the ParkRight mobile app, and provide drivers a real-time map of available spaces.
◗ The Dallas Innovation Alliance, a private-public coalition, installed smart LED lightbulbs throughout the city to capture data on air quality and traffic congestion.
To create a sustainable urban environment, Indianapolis planners must ensure that smart city technologies are accessible to residents. Through smartphones, TVs, tablets and wearable devices, residents must not only be aware of, but also comfortable with, the smart infrastructure around them. Voice assistants, “smart” signage and responsive streets will allow people of all ages and abilities to thrive in a smarter Indianapolis.
By implementing smart technologies, our city’s business and civic leaders can reshape the urban environment, fuel economic growth and mitigate the problems created by rapid population growth in the city center. Investment in modernization efforts, while crucial in facing short-term challenges, will also lay the groundwork for a more sustainable place to live, work and do business for future generations.•

“Let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby. Let’s all go to the lobby, get ourselves some snacks!” – C.M. Burns
We’ve got a few links to various movies this week and, as a special bonus, not a single one of them mentions the Oscars. There’s a list of what some of Troy McClure’s movies could’ve been, some excellent YouTube of various snack videos and parodies, and even some excellent usage in a movie review. There’s also a return appearance by Marge’s stupid Playboy cover, a rather excellent gambling story about Sam Simon, and one hell of an awesome looking donut cake.
Simon says, ‘Woo hoo!’ to Las Vegas, charity – A newspaper fluff piece on Sam Simon that includes the story of what has to be the most expensive grilled cheese sandwich in history.
Visit Cedar Rapids for the Jokes (But Don’t Expect Much More.) – Excellent usage (movie review).
Hughes the man – Excellent usage (soccer article).
25 of Playboy’s Worst Cover Models – Marge checks in at #9, but is also used as the headline image. Guh, I knew this desperate publicity ploy would be with us forever (via Springfield Springfield’s Twitter feed).
Conan O’Brien: ‘The Simpsons Could go For Another 100 Years’ – Jebus, let’s hope not.
Celebrating Australia Day – More horizontally reversed, non-English Simpsons on YouTube.
11 Best Titles Of Troy McClure Movies From The Simpsons – Just what it says. As the intro makes clear, there are just way too many to choose from here. (Thanks to Galileo from In 10 Words for the tip.)
Let’s All Go To The Lobby! – A bunch of videos of the famous singing movie foods, including the original. Sadly the Simpsons video is from a movie tie in, not “Burns’ Heir”, but it was one of the better movie promo things they did. For my money though, the original is the funniest of the bunch. I love how they openly refer to the popcorn as “Butter Drenched”, and the disembodied head of the little boy eye humping the naked, suicidal hotdog at about the 2:00 minute mark is a piece of unintentional comedy gold.
Bigfoot Meets the Simpsons – A list of the times Bigfoot showed up on the show. There is one mention of Zombie Simpsons, but it’s cancelled out by the inclusion of “Spanish Fry” from Futurama.
The Best Fictional Beer Brands on TV – These aren’t in any particular order, and the Simpsons YouTube says “removed by the user”, but there are a lot of things on here besides Duff and there are lots of video clips (via Springfield Springfield’s Twitter feed).
Jack LaLanne…In 10 Words – I forgot LaLanne did a guest voice. There are a lot of Season 10 episodes I haven’t seen in a long time.
The Jack LaLanne Power Juicer…In 10 Words – “Gotta get a juicer, gotta drink juice, lose weight, won’t get chest pains from answering the phone anymore.”
Stupid Sexy Spiderman… – Spiderman really does looks like Flanders here.
The Simpsons Donut Cake – Transcendent.
Me in 5 years – Hey, speaking of donuts, it’s an animated .gif of Homer’s favorite infernal torment.
Post A Day 2011 Rewind: Share something that makes you smile – A wonderfully sweet story of intergenerational bonding and medical recuperation through Simpsons.
High-Speed Homer Simpson/ Jackson Pollock – I’ve linked this video/painting before, but it’s too damned awesome not to link again.
A Black Day – Shaky cam (though watchable) YouTube of “Here come the pretzels!”.
The things that blow my mind – Please enjoy this YouTube of about half of the original material in Season 9’s “All Singing, All Dancing”. I too had no idea “Paint Your Wagon” was a real movie for years after I saw this.
The Simpsons iPhone Wallpaper – Exactly what it says it is, for those of you with iPhones.
One of those days, eh? – We have a rare double whammy here, it’s Smooth Charlie’s Link of the Week and a person who agrees with us:
Suicidal Boredom: Only repeats of early seasons of your favorite yellow family can cure it!
Amen. And click through for a rather awesome drawing that really should be available in poster form.

In mammals, retinoic acid (RA) is absolutely essential for the progression of undifferentiated A spermatogonia into differentiating Al spermatogonia (the A to Al transition). The action of RA and the appearance of differentiating spermatogonia represents the commitment of the germ cell to enter meiosis. The rate-limiting step in RA synthesis is the oxidation of retinaldehyde to RA by retinaldehyde dehydrogenases (RALDHs). In the previous grant period, we demonstrated that the bisdichloroacetyldiamines (BDADs) function as male contraceptives via inhibiting the RALDHs [4, 5]. Treatment of male mice with one particular BDAD, WIN 18,446, effectively mimics testicular vitamin A deficiency and blocks spermatogonial differentiation and the production of STRAS, the classic marker of RA activity in the testis. This block is rescued by RA but not by ROL proving that the biologically important action is the inhibition of RALDHs. The cellular sources of RA and the localization of the biologically important RALDHs in the adult testis are unknown. Our hypothesis is that RALDH enzymes are a critical component in the control of RA levels in the testis and therefore, may represent excellent targets for male contraceptive agents. This proposal will investigate the expression and function of RALDHs present in the different cell types in the testis during germ cell development in mice and humans. Specfic aim 1 will investigate the expression and activity ofthe RALDHs in both the murine and human testis as well as define the transcrtipome response of the human testis to RA. Specfic Aim 2 will utilize a novel method, developed during the last grant period, for synchronizing spermatogenesis to assess retinoid levels and RALDH activites across the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium as well as the transcriptome in response to RA at the A to Al transisiton. Specfic aim 3 will elucidate which RALDH enzymes are essential for spermatogenesis via mouse knockout models. Collectively, these data will significantly enhance our understanding of how vitamin A metabolism is regulated in the testis and determine whether perturbing RALDH activity is a viable approach to male contraception.
The ideal male contraceptive agent would allow reversible control of sperm formation or function with no permanent changes to the testis or no side effects elsewhere in the body. The proteins responsibe for vitamin A metabolism have been proposed as potential male contraceptive targets. This proposal will investigate the expression and function of one group of vitamin A metabolizing proteinsi the RALDHs, and aid in determining whether their inhibition is a viable approach to male contraception.
