Donut Nutrition Facts?

HMSCers,

I was cruising around JC Market’s website this week and came across this nutrition facts panel. Since we’re all pretty health conscious around here, I thought I’d share it with you. Come have a donut tomorrow and see if the nutrition info seems accurate!

Not a donut blog, but still worth a look!

HsO Sports Fans,

On March 15th, 2008, the HsO’s own Ali Dauble, Kristina McCann-Grosvenor, and Becka Baldwin took a little swim in the bay as part of the Newport Fishermen’s Wives Survival Suit Races. An anonymous (to me) member of the community took a video of the entire event, and provided us a copy. Because the wheels of the HsO turn exceedingly slow (but grind extremely fine), I’ve only just posted the HsO team portion of the video to the Activities page on the HsO website. It must be said, though, that this video is well worth waiting for.

Check it out here:

If it doesn’t make you extremely proud of your athletes (and possibly make you laugh yourself sick), you can’t call yourself a Hatfielder.

Enjoy!

Delta-Oscar-November-Uniform-Tango-Sierra

Donut Fans,
I was looking up the NATO phonetic alphabet on Wikipedia the other day (don't ask me why) and I got to reading about pictographic writing, where letters are represented by a picture of something beginning with that letter (i.e. a picture of a donut for the letter "D"). This inspired me to make a donut-themed pictographic phrase for this week's donut announcement. Have fun figuring it out!


Also, come have a donut tomorrow @ 10am in the donut lounge.

Homemade Donuts? The Dream Continues...

There’s been some talk lately about someone (possibly the HsO) (Londi, we’re looking at you) bringing homemade donuts to the Wednesday Donut Festival. While this is a very good idea, there is a possibility that, due to the inexperience of the bakers, the whole experiment could end in tears. To prevent this from happening, I’ve compiled a list of appropriate vs. inappropriate donut toppings. Hopefully this will help guide the process to a successful conclusion.

1. Appropriate: Nuts
Inappropriate: Nails
2. Appropriate: Maple Frosting
Inappropriate: Maple Leaves
3. Appropriate: Powdered Sugar
Inappropriate: Powdered Glass
4. Appropriate: Cinnamon
Inappropriate: Cyanide
5. Appropriate: Sprinkles
Inappropriate: Tequila
6. Appropriate: Icing
Inappropriate: Ice
7. Appropriate: Soylent Green
Inappropriate: Soylent Orange
8. Appropriate: Bacon
Inappropriate: Tofu
9. Appropriate: Chocolate
Inappropriate: Chalk
10.Appropriate: Candied Fruit
Inappropriate: Fresh Fruit
