Jim Lahey’s No Knead Baguette (Stecca) Wednesday, December 9, 2009 I’m thrilled to share that I’m featured on Oprah’s Holiday 2009 website along with some other fantastic bloggers and good friends like Gluten Free Girl & The Chef, Kalyn’s Kitchen, Stephanie O’Dea, Jennifer Perillo and Fuji Mama! Come check out all of our holiday recipes – we’ll be contributing all season long! I’m a lazy lazy baker. My oven gets to sweet action unless I’ve got someone else to help me along in the kitchen — my kids even are forced bake their own birthday cake. So much for winning Mom of the Year award, eh? And this is exactly why I love No-Knead breads like the No Knead Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls (beware…I just gained 2 pounds saying that out loud), No Knead Pizza Dough: Pear and Gorgonzola Flatbread with Baby Arugula, No Knead Nutella and Hazelnut Challah. First things first…you’ve gotta mix the dough the night before. Mix together bread flour, salt, sugar, yeast, water. Set the dough ball seam side down, tuck the edges and seams under.

USB_CHARGE USB to Nokia Safe Charger This simple project shows you how to make a USB powered Nokia cell phone charger. The advantage is that it weighs much less than the bulky AC adaptor, and can be used wherever you have a computer or a laptop. I use this thing all the time now! What do I mean by “safe charger”? So far, it charges my phone just fine, but slightly slower than the wall wart that came with it. DISCLAIMEROID STATEMENTEY THING: Ok, so here’s the deal: You can really mess things up with this project! Step one: strip off the shielding and insulation on an inch or so of the usb cable. Step two: Clip off a length of the nokia chargers phone-side plug. Step three: Attach a normal silicon diode (not a zener diode) with the line part towards the nokia plug. I suggest staggering the lengths of the wires so that the solder joints have less chance of coming into contact. Check all the wires with a multimeter to make sure they are really the right ones! Good luck with it and thanks for visiting!

Harmonic Progressions | Learning and Loving Music Theory Kelvin, You actually caught a mistake on the roman numerals! Thanks, I’ll have to fix that. The first and last chords of the progression are not 7th chords. Somehow I inadvertently typed “I7″ on the first chord of all the major keys. In the classical tradition, for the sake of stability, the first and last chords of a circle-of-fifths progression are usually triads, not 7th chords. Harmonic Sequences Part 2 In the jazz tradition all chords usually are 7ths, in which case the progression will start and end with 7th chords. Thanks again for your interest and input.

Songwriting Exercises - Handout Songwriting Exercises by Joel Mabus Scaffolding Stuck? Here’s an old trick to get you going. What a good song offers is structure, repetition, form and balance. Try this exercise: A) Take some song you like — any song at all from any era, any style — just so long as it is familiar to you. B) Write a new lyric to that song. C) Take that new lyric and write completely new music to it. D) Edit. (Or you could do A-C-B-D — write the new music to the “scaffold” song and then write a new lyric.) What remains is a new song with only a hint of the “ghost” song that acted as a scaffold for the process. Listmaking Out of ideas? A list could become a song (remember “My Favorite Things” or Tom T Hall’s “I Love...”) or could be a starting pad for an essay song, enumerating facts or feelings. Focused Imaging Similar to listmaking, but more purposeful, is putting your imagination to work in creating a scene, place or mood. Imagine a perfect day in your childhood – or the day your childhood sweetheart left you.

Hoe doe je dat? Fietsband plakken - video tutorial Hoe gebruik ik bandenlichters om mijn band van de velg te halen? Hoe lokaliseer ik een gaatje? Hoe plak ik een gaatje? Hoe controleer ik de buitenband op eventuele stukjes glas, spijkers of dergelijke? Zet de fiets op z’n kop en verwijder het ventiel van de band. N.B. New Orleans Jazz Styles - William Gillock
