> > 2 cups sugar
> > 1 cup light corn syrup
> > 1 cup water
> > 2 cups raw Spanish peanuts
> > 1/2 tsp. salt
> > 1 Tbsp. butter
> > 1 tsp. baking soda


> > Heat and stir sugar, syrup and water in a heavy 3-quart saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Cook over medium heat to soft ball stage (234 degrees). Add nuts and salt. Cook to hard crack stage (305 degrees), stirring often. Remove from heat.

> > Quickly, stir in butter and soda. Pour at once onto 2 well-buttered 15-1/2x10-1/2x1-inch pans, spreading with spatula. If desired, cool slightly and pull with forks to stretch thin. Break up when cold.

> > Yield: About 1-1/2 pounds of peanut brittle.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > there's this one cool school in Washington state (in the US), DigiPen(.edu), it's focused on game programming... you actually get an (accredited) degree in Realtime Computer Simulations or something, I think that's what it's called, basically a degree in games programming... altho.... the school seems VERY hard, you have 6hours of class a day, and while most of your homework is programming related, you'll be spending about 12 to 15 hours a day (that INCLUDES the 6 hours for class..)

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > That seems highly unlikely, 12 to 15 hrs programming? There would have to be a LOT of breaks to compensate, or by the end of the term, there'd be a load of dead bodies at DigiPen!



> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > in the programming lab or at home programming (no dorms, you have to get an apartment... so no dorm life....).... if I went to this school, I'd have a huge advantage in the games industry, but I'd have no social life for four years..... the school has under 100 people in it.... 1/4 of the people who apply get in.... it's GREAT for games programming, and if you can program games you can go into just about any kind of programming pretty easily... altho you don't get as well-rounded an education, as there aren't as many academics, no social studies, not many english classes (literature, mythology, creative writing, and english..).. no languages (I'm learning Japanese currently, and would like to learn it in college as well... but I could take an outside class.... but have almost no time during the days to work on that, or rather, I wouldn't at digipen o_O)
