Ultimate Cherry Dessert - Chocolate Cherry Bombe

Chocolate Cherry Bombe

Serves 8 to 10
  • Active time: 20 min
  • Start to finish: 3 hr (includes freezing)
July 2009
With its mischievous cherry-stem fuse and sleek chocolate shell, this ice cream bombe should definitely get the fireworks started at your Fourth of July cookout. Cut into the bombe and you’ll see cherry ice cream dotted with crisp chocolate wafer cookies and toasty walnuts. Look even further and you’ll find the gunpowder—er, a center of chocolate ice cream.
  • 3/4 cup walnuts (2 1/2 oz), toasted see Tips, cooled, and chopped
  • 3/4 cup lightly crushed chocolate wafer cookies
  • 3 pints cherry or cherry vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
  • 1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened slightly
  • 6 oz bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao), finely chopped
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 maraschino cherry with stem
  • Equipment:

    a 2- to 2 1/2-qt bowl (about 8 inches in diameter)
  • Line bowl with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang all around.
  • Stir walnuts and chocolate cookies into cherry ice cream in another bowl. Transfer ice cream to lined bowl and spread evenly over bottom and up sides, leaving a crater in center. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
  • Scoop chocolate ice cream into crater in cherry ice cream, then smooth top with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, melt chocolate with butter and oil in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Invert bombe onto a rack set over a baking sheet and remove plastic wrap. Make a small indentation in top and place maraschino cherry into ice cream so that the cherry is submerged but stem sticks straight up (like a fuse).
  • Ladle chocolate sauce on top of bombe (avoiding cherry stem), letting it drip over sides to coat thoroughly. Freeze until chocolate coating is set, about 30 minutes.
  • To serve, cut into wedges.
Cooks’ note:
  • Bombe keeps, loosely covered with plastic wrap, 1 week.

Tool use alters brain's map of body

Posted by Elie Dolgin
[Entry posted at 22nd June 2009 05:06 PM GMT]

Researchers claim to have the first direct evidence of a century-old idea that using tools changes the way the human brain perceives the size and configuration of our body parts, according to a study published in the June 23 issue of Current Biology.

Holding the tool at an elongated
arm's length

"To be accurate in doing an action with a tool, you need to make the tool become a part of your body," the study's first author Lucilla Cardinali of the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Bron and Claude Bernard University in Lyon told The Scientist. "Your brain needs to take into account that the action is performed with something added to your body part."

In 1911, British neurologists Henry Head and Gordon Holmes introduced the theory that body image is mutable. Our brains are constantly processing visual and tactile feedback about the position of our bodies to work out where our limbs are at any given moment, they argued. The brain sifts through all this information to create a unified representation of body position and shape called the "body schema." Although the concept has been widely accepted in the hundred years since it was first proposed, and many researchers have demonstrated adjustments to how we sense our body's position in space after using a tool, no one had ever shown empirically that the body's self-framing itself can be directly manipulated.

"This is the first time it has been shown in humans that the use of tools can change the pattern of movement because the body schema has changed," said Angelo Maravita, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Milan-Bicocca in Italy who was not involved in the study.

Cardinali, a graduate student with INSERM's Alessandro Farnè, gave people a mechanical grabber that extended their reach and found that people with the arm-elongating tool took longer to grasp and point to an object after the gizmo was taken away compared to before they held the tool. They then showed that this delayed reaction time is a normal response of people with naturally longer arms, thus indicating that tool users judge their arms to be longer than they truly are. The researchers also asked blindfolded participants to touch specific landmarks on their arm -- the elbow, wrist and middle fingertip -- and showed that people perceived these spots as further along the limb after having played with the gadget arm. "It's really suggestive of the fact that your arm is coded as longer," said Maravita.



All these subtle and dynamic mental move-arounds occur at a subconscious level to help us function with our workaday widgets, the authors say. "[Tool users] don't think, 'Oh my god, my arm is longer,'" said Cardinali. "They act as if the arm was longer." In fact, Cardinali added, the long arm of the mind is something we experience every day -- for example, when you grasp a toothbrush. "You don't need to look at yourself in the mirror," she said. "You are able to do this without bumping into your teeth or hurting yourself, and you don't need to pay attention because the toothbrush is incorporated" into the body's perception of the arm.

Michael Arbib, a University of Southern California neurobiologist and computer scientist who did not contribute to the research findings, said that the study "has an interesting result, but it doesn't justify their claim." He argued that the slowness experienced by tool users could arise because they had just completed an awkward task that involved not just a greater reach but also different angles of rotation of the arm muscles. After ditching the tool, "it's a less confident motion," Arbib said, "and the less confident you are the slower you go."

Cardinali, however, said that the movement was fairly straightforward. Participants were pros at it right off the bat without any learning involved, she said. Maravita noted that the study subjects were quite precise and that only the key parameters linked to arm size changed after tool use. "I think it's quite a robust result," he said.

Arbib also said that the authors' "bold claim" was unfounded because they might have mistaken cause for effect. For example, in the arm touching experiment, tool users could have pointed to a modified space rather than an altered body representation if they mentally positioned themselves relative to the extended tool and then worked backwards, instead of directly perceiving an elongated body part. These two interpretations are "functionally equivalent," Arbib said, and so the authors' findings might only confirm the previous results of the last hundred years. Cardinali disagreed. She argued against a mental frameshift in space because the arm pointing test was performed with bent arms -- a posture that had never been encountered before. Thus, tool users could not be orienting themselves relative to any physical object in space, she said.

Just in case you are wondering about Nutshell...

Nutshell


The Iliad in a nutshell.
Pliny tells us that Cicero asserts that the whole Iliad was written on a piece of parchment which might be put into a nutshell. Lalanne describes, in his Curiosités Bibliographiques, an edition of Rochefoucault’s Maxims, published by Didot in 1829, on pages one inch square, each page containing 26 lines, and each line 44 letters. Charles Toppan, of New York, engraved on a plate one-eighth of an inch square 12,000 letters. The Iliad contains 501,930 letters, and would therefore occupy 42 such plates engraved on both sides. Huet has proved by experiment that a parchment 27 by 21 centimètres would contain the entire Iliad, and such a parchment would go into a common-sized nut; but Mr. Toppan’s engraving would get the whole Iliad into half that size. George P. Marsh says, in his Lectures, he has seen the entire Arabic Koran in a parchment roll four inches wide and half an inch in diameter. (See ILIAD.)

Review of Twitter Traffic Swarm by John Ritz

I'll be honest, I was taken by surprise at just how good
Twitter Traffic Swarm is by John Ritz. John is a hot-shot
copywriter, and I didn't realize he would take that talent
and write a hefty ebook, and then go on to make NINE videos
on the subject. This is the best Twitter info. you can get
for the money, at only $14.50 - truly an amazing find. BUT
I do have a few things to say about it .. First here's
the link..

******************************
http://twittertrafficswarm.co.cc/
******************************



First, here is what you get in the basic package, there
is also a full RESELLERS pack as well for those who want that:

You get 1 introduction video
You get 7 more content filled videos
You get 1 bonus video once you buy this by registering
You get his masterfully written ebook as well
You get free updates by registering

The Pros: John takes his time with very relaxed clear, and
easy to understand videos as he shows you how to do Twitter
"the right way". (more on that later) He shows you how to
create an account from square-one, and takes you through all
the basics, but almost immediately jumps into the various
Twitter applications that will allow you to rapidly find
a targeted list of Twitter followers.

John spends a lot of time in the ebook illustrating exactly
what you should "tweet" if you want to do it right. That is,
be respected to gain even more followers, and yet get
your sales message out. He spends time on squeeze pages, to
build your list, and even talks about gaining followers by
holding contests.

**He even gives away one of my tricks that utilizes following
specific Gurus**

The breadth and depth of what he teaches is incredible for the
price, as he goes over some of the basic apps such as TweetDeck,
but then shows you some of his favorites.

John trains you in the basics so well, that you will stay in
good graces with Twitter AND your followers. He also provides
some tools in the bonus video that will help you with getting
a fancy Twitter background for your page, etc.

The Cons: John steers away from any black-hat methods of
working Twitter, which was smart, but has a drawback. If you
don't have the time to work up to the full use of Twitter
communication back and forth with your followers, you need to
learn a few short-cuts that John doesn't mention.

However, to be honest, if you don't know everything John is
talking about first in THIS series of videos, it would be
fruitless to take any shortcuts anyway, as you'll just get
banned by Twitter, so you need to start here no matter
which route you take!
