quote:Great, so you agree that gay marriage should be illegal since the majority of the country feels this way. Of course you don't because you will fire back with some type of hypocritical bull shite spin. I couldn't live with myself if I had to play mental gymnastics to justify the killing of innocent lives out of convenience.
quote:If this were the case, then abortion would be illegal. When Roe v Wade occurred (which made all bans on abortion illegal), more than 70% of people were anti-abortion. They had voted to make abortion illegal in almost every state. The Supreme Court overturned that. Why do you hate democracy so?

Electronystagmography is a test that looks at eye movements to see how well two nerves in the brain are working. These nerves are:
Patches called electrodes, are placed above, below, and on each side of your eyes. They may be sticky patches or attached to a headband. Another patch is attached to the forehead.
The health care provider will spray cold water or air into each ear canal at separate times. The patches record eye movements that occur when the inner ear and nearby nerves are stimulated by the water or air. When cold water enters the ear, you should have rapid, side-to-side eye movements called nystagmus.
Next, warm water or air is placed into the ear. The eyes should now move rapidly toward the warm water then slowly away.
You may also be asked to use their eyes to track objects, such as flashing lights or moving lines.
The test takes about 90 minutes.
Most of the time you do not need to take special steps before this test.
You may find cold water in the ear slightly uncomfortable. Brief dizziness (vertigo) may occur during the test.
The test is used to determine whether a balance or nerve disorder is the cause of dizziness or vertigo.
Your doctor may order this test if you have:
Certain eye movements should occur after the warm or cold water or air is placed into your ears.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results may be a sign of damage to the nerve of the inner ear or other parts of the brain that control eye movements.
Any disease or injury that damages the acoustic nerve can cause vertigo. This may include:
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
Rarely, too much water pressure inside the ear can injure your ear drum if there has been previous damage. The water part of this test should not be done if your eardrum has been perforated recently.
Electronystagmography is very useful because it can record movements behind closed eyelids or with the head in many positions.

Include your question or comments below.
We will reply as soon as possible.
Is the Airmada supposed to vent better than the Airframe?
Each ICON Helmet is built on the lessons learned from previous ICON Helmets. The Airframe has excellent venting at both high and low speeds, as does the Airmada. The Airmada does feature an additional centrally located forehead vent to increase low speed venting.I currently wear an Alliance SS and am in the market for a new helmet. The Alliance fits great but I cant fit right in an Airframe. Which is the Airmada shaped closer to?
The Airmada will fit closer to an Alliance SS compared to an Airframe. The Airmada features a long oval headroom and a greater number of shell molds, which provides improved fit across the entire size spectrum.Hello, if I want to import to Colombia, how much would the shipping costs be?
Hey, we have dealers in Colombia: http://www.rideicon.com/dealer-locator/.
Not liking the colors very much, could you make one in Suzuki blue?
We are always adjusting our colors.
I use an Airframe Medium right now. Would the Airmada Medium be the same fit for me? When will the product ship to resellers in USA/Canada? thanks
Airmada is a long oval head shape verses the round or neutral shape of the Airframe. Otherwise they are a similar fit.
Does this helmet come with a chin curtain?
No, the revised shape of the helmet negates the need to use a chin curtain.
hola soy de uruguay estoy interesado en comprar dos cascos, quiciera saber como hacemos, agradsco un mail..
Por favor pedir en su tienda en línea favorita de esta lista: http://www.rideicon.com/dealer-locator/
I bought this helmet from my local dealer and recently noticed that it does't have a Snell decal on it. I was wondering because I was planning on using it for racing, but the track rules stipulate Snell 2005 as a minimum.
The ICON Airmada is not Snell rated, but is ECE and DOT approved. This 52 country world standard complies with FIM and AMA rules, so you can petition for this helmet to be used. Any major track that complies with AMA standards should allow you to use the helmet.I currently live in Mauritius and i'm looking for a new helmet. What would be the closest dealer to Mauritius, or should I buy online?
We have a variety of dealers worldwide. You can search for all dealers in Mauritius here: http://partseurope.eu/cms/en/dealer-search.II have 59cm head size and now have M alliance, which fits snugly, but ok. Would a medium Airmada have exactly same sizing as an Alliance?
The Airmada has similar sizing measurements as the Alliance, but features a more aggressive fit. Because of this many people have found that their size in an Alliance may not translate to the Airmada. We always recommend trying on helmets in person for this very reason.Is the tinted shield available online?
Yes, tinted shields are available for purchase online. A full listing of our online dealers can be found here: http://www.rideicon.com/dealer-locator/.

Pope for barely 12 hours, Francis brushed off years of tradition and formality Thursday with a remarkable break in style that sent a clear message that his papacy is poised to reject many of the trappings enjoyed by now-retired Benedict XVI.
That was hardly out of character for Francis. For years, as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentine pastor took the bus to work, kissed the feet of AIDS patients and prayed with former prostitutes, eschewing the luxurious residence that would have been his due as archbishop of Buenos Aires.
But now he is pope – the first from the New World and the first Jesuit – and his style both personal and liturgical is in a global spotlight.
On his first day, he couldn't have signaled a greater contrast to Benedict, the German academic who was meek and generous in person but formal and traditional in public.
The differences played out Thursday in the Sistine Chapel as Francis, 76, celebrated his first public Mass as pope.
Whereas Benedict read a three-page discourse in Latin, Francis had a far simpler message. Speaking off-the-cuff for 10 minutes in easy Italian, he said that all Catholics must "build" the church and "walk" with the faith.
He urged priests to build their churches on solid foundations, warning: "What happens when children build sand castles on the beach? It all comes down.
"When we walk without the cross, and when we preach about Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are mundane. We are bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, but we are not disciples of the Lord."
The new style was evident even in Francis' wardrobe. Rather than wear the new golden pectoral cross he was offered after his election Wednesday, he kept the simple crucifix of his days as bishop. He also turned down the red velvet cape that Benedict wore when he was presented to the world for the first time in 2005, choosing the simple white cassock of the papacy instead.
Francis began Thursday with an early morning trip in a simple Vatican car – not the papal sedan – to a Roman basilica dedicated to the Virgin Mary, where he prayed to the Madonna.
Thursday, members of his flock were charmed when Francis stopped by the Vatican-owned residence where he stayed before the conclave to pick up his luggage. But that wasn't the only reason he made the detour.
"He wanted to thank the personnel, people who work in this house," said the Rev. Pawel Rytel-Andrianek, a guest at the residence. "He greeted them one by one, no rush, the whole staff, one by one."
Francis displayed that same sense of humility immediately after his election, spurning the throne on an elevated platform that was brought out for him to receive the cardinals' pledges of obedience, said Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York.
Later, he traveled by bus back to the hotel along with the other cardinals, refusing the special sedan and security detail that he was offered.
Francis, said U.S. Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, has signaled his adherence to a "Gospel of simplicity."
"And he has a sense of humor.
During dinner after his election Wednesday, the cardinals toasted him, Dolan said. "Then he toasted us and said, 'May God forgive you for what you've done.' "

Last July, I joined with President Obama to kick off the Race to the Top. This competition, which was funded through the Recovery Act with the support of Congress, put unprecedented resources$4.35 billion dollarson the table to reward states that are ready to dramatically re-shape America's educational system.
March 3, 2010
This is an extraordinary time for all of us in the field of education. One year ago, schools throughout the country were facing an education catastrophe. One estimate said that 600,000 jobs were at risk. Working together, the President and Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with $100 billion for education.
February 19, 2010
Thank you. I want to talk to you today about a paradox that can handcuff efforts at education reform. The paradox is this: Everyone in this hall would agree that great teachers and principals hold the key to America's children getting a first-rate educationnothing is more important.
February 15, 2010
Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today. I'm thrilled that Andre Lewis, our new Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Education, could join me here this afternoon. This position was included in the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act because Congressman Holt and his colleagues recognized the need for leadership in international education in the U.S.
February 12, 2010
Thank you. During the seven-and-a-half years I was CEO of the Chicago Public Schools, I sometimes got the question: "Why in the world would you ever want to be a school superintendent?"
February 3, 2010
Thank you for inviting me to address this group of valued colleagues and championsit is wonderful to be here among so many people committed to guaranteeing an excellent education for every child in America.
February 1, 2010
It's been a little more than a year since the President took the oath of office and I became secretary of education.
January 21, 2010
Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today. I have been in my job in Washington for a little over six months now, and I've been privileged to get to know many of you and to learn about and recognize in many of our national conversations the extraordinary work of AAC&U.
January 14, 2010
Thank you. Please stand to pay a special tribute to the wife and son of Myles Brand, who are here today. Myles Brand was a remarkable leader who was unafraid of controversy.
December 10, 2009
Thank you for that kind introduction. I welcome this opportunity to address state lawmakers. For too long, you have been the leading yet underappreciated stewards of education reform. It is sometimes said that governors get the headlines and legislators get the headaches. There is a lot of truth to that.

A Lotta Chocolate Part 2: Snickers Macarons
Similar to my first successful souffles, which took me 5 attempts to attain, the 5th time was the charm for my triumph over macarons (Here's some evidence of my failed attempts...I really hope this doesn't become a pattern!). And I must divide credit among my Twitter friends Stella of Bravetart, Kaitlin of Whisk Kid, Josie of Daydreamer Desserts, Steph of Desserts for Breakfast, Mardi of eat.live.travel.write., and of course the Macaron Queen herself, Helene of Tartelette for their invaluable advice helping me to troubleshoot each failed batch until I got it right this morning. Thank you so much, ladies!
While you probably expect I got frustrated with all these failures (and I did at times), I actually got very invigorated by the learning process. The aggravating yet oddly fun thing about macarons is that there are so many ways to go wrong 8). When each batch came out with a new set of problems, (after the initial wailing) it was fun to play detective, teasing out causes to each symptom. I learned a lot, the most important being that 3 factors really make or break French macarons: properly whipping up the egg whites to stiff peaks, knowing when to stop mixing the batter, and knowing your oven (especially any major hot/cold spots). Each of my failed attempts resulted directly from a failure to do one of the above, and once I figured them out I got the results I wanted. On the flip side, humidity and heat are NOT the great saboteurs of macaron success you've heard them to be. It was warm and humid (rainy with no AC!) all 5 times I baked them but hottest and wettest on the day I succeeded 8).
If you'll remember, this is the second in a series of chocolate posts that began with my chocolate chunk challah french toast. Plus I'm submitting these to this month's MacTweets challenge: "Decadently Chocolate." Macarons may not be such an unusual way to feature chocolate, but Tartelette's idea to transform a common candy bar into a fancy macaron drew my curiosity enough to warrant a try (or 5 in this case =p). And in the end, I was very impressed. These adorable treats combine the best of both worlds: the classic taste of Snickers bars with the delicate texture and portion-control (ha!) of macarons. Do you love chocolate, Snickers, and/or macarons? If the answer is yes, I really recommend you try these soon!
Now I've probably scared you with all this talk of failed macarons and the recipe below will look impossibly long at first glance, but please rest assured that it's really not so hard. Macaron-making is simply a process that requires hands-on familiarity to perfect, and if you focus on the 3 key things I listed above, you'll have it down in no time. To give you a head's start, I've included some helpful videos below (not my own!) and lots of useful tips in the body of the recipe (which is why it's so long!). Once you've run through the process once or twice, you won't even look at directions anymore 'cause it'll be second nature. And if you learn anything from my experience, I hope it's to try try and try again! While I'm a beginner myself, I'd be happy to answer any macaron questions you may have via Twitter or email.
P.S. - If anyone's interested in this banner, you can print it on PDF HERE, preferably in color on card stock paper. Simply cut it out and glue/tape it to some wood skewers. Enjoy!
Snickers Chocolate Peanut Caramel Macarons [Printable Recipe]
Adapted from Tartelette, Daydreamer Desserts, and Not So Humble Pie (a great macaron troubleshooting post)
Makes about 25 to 35 macarons
XIAOLU'S NOTES: Please do not try to convert this recipe to volume measurements if you don't have a scale (I use and love this one). This recipe is very sensitive and will not work if the measurements are not exact. Please also note that every oven is different and you'll figure out what works best for yours over time. Since mine has major hot spots, I bake on 2 stacked pans for insulation. If you're uncertain of your ability to pipe uniformly-sized macarons, like me, simply trace 1 1/4-inch circles on your parchment paper, flip the paper over, and pipe on the other side, using the outlines as your guide OR print (choose "fit to page") and slide this template under your parchment as a guide but don't forget to remove before baking! Macarons are best after having been refrigerated for 24 to 48 hours, according to French pastry master, Pierre Herme, "An osmosis takes place between the garnish and the biscuit. When freshly baked this is hard and crisp, but it absorbs some humidity from the filling and its inside becomes more tender while the crust on the surface stays intact" (quote via Not So Humble Pie). So even if you accidentally overbake the shells by a few minutes, maturing the macarons in the fridge for at least 48 hours should undo most of the damage =).
65 g almonds [not roasted or salted]
60 g peanuts [not salted]
15 g cocoa powder
160 g powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
55 g granulated sugar
2 g egg white powder [optional, to stabilize batter in humid weather]
100 g egg whites [about 3 large egg whites]
1/8 tsp cream of tartar or 1/4 tsp lemon juice [optional, to stabilize meringue]
Milk Chocolate Ganache (Recipe below)
Marshmallow Peanut "Nougat" (Recipe below)
About 1/3 cup caramel sauce OR dulce de leche (Recipe below)
About 25 to 35 peanut halves
Separate your eggs 2 to 5 days before, and store the whites in a covered container in the fridge. Bring the egg whites to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe. OR just microwave fresh egg whites 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave on medium heat.
Combine the almonds, peanuts, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor, and pulse on and off until the nuts are finely ground (about 1 to 2 minutes). Sift the powder to remove any large chunks that remain. Put those chunks back into the food processor and pulse again for another 30 to 60 seconds. Sift again. You will probably have some slightly chunkier almond bits. Hopefully they're no more than a tablespoon or so, in which case you can throw them out.
Weigh out and mix your granulated sugar and egg white powder in a small bowl until uniform; set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer, whip the egg whites on medium-low speed with cream of tartar until foamy, then turn the speed up to medium to medium-high and gradually add the sugar mixture until you obtain a glossy meringue (it'll look like shaving cream, hold stiff peaks, and stay in place if you turn the bowl upside-down; don't overbeat your meringue or it will be too dry).
Add all of the nut mixture to the meringue, and fold in. Use both a folding motion that scrapes the bottom of the bowl (to incorporate the dry ingredients) and a gentle pressing motion, to deflate the meringue against the side of the bowl. Slow down after about 25 strokes, and fold the mass carefully until you obtain a batter that flows like magma or a thick ribbon. The whole process should not take more than 50 strokes. Test the batter by spooning a small amount of the batter up, then dropping it back down on itself. If it melts back into the rest of the batter within 30 seconds, it's ready for piping (this page has great photos of this test). If not, fold 2 more strokes and test again.
Fill a pastry bag fitted with a 1/3 to 1/2-inch wide plain tip (I like Ateco #804 or 806) with half of the batter. (When your bag is too full, the pressure causes the batter to rush out in a way that's difficult to control, making for sloppy macarons.) Pipe tiny blobs of batter onto the 4 corners and center of 2 baking sheets, then line baking sheets with parchment paper OR line with silicone mats. Pipe small rounds (slightly larger than 1 inch wide) straight down and about 1 inch apart onto the baking sheets. Pick up each sheet with both hands and slam it firmly straight downward on the counter 2 to 3 times. This will to force out any large air bubbles. Immediately pop any bubbles that rise up but don't break with a toothpick. Do NOT do this once a few minutes have passed because you'll mess up the shell that's forming.
Preheat the oven to 275 to 300 degrees F. Let the macarons sit out for 25 to 60 minutes to harden their shells a bit (to prevent tops from cracking during baking). Test if they're ready by touching the top and side of one shell lightly. It should feel dry and not stick to your finger at all. Bake one pan at a time for 15 to 20 minutes in the middle shelf of your oven, depending on the size of the macarons. Let cool for 15 to 30 minutes before trying to move the shells.
Once cool, flip the shells over. If you have trouble removing them from parchment paper, pour a couple of drops of water under the paper while the sheet is still a bit warm, and the macarons will lift up more easily due to the moisture. Don't let them sit there in it too long or they will become soggy.
Fill the shells with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of ganache, then 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce, top with a peanut, a 3/4-inch circle of flattened marshmallow nougat, and a similarly-sized top shell. For the best flavor and texture, store in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours before eating (see notes above for detailed explanation) but they are best if eaten within 5 days. Bring to room temperature before eating.
Milk Chocolate Ganache
3 oz. milk chocolate, roughly chopped
4 Tbsp heavy cream
In a small saucepan over medium high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Remove from heat, drop in the milk chocolate and let stand 5 minutes. Stir the chocolate into the cream until smooth. Set aside until it cools down and thickens a bit (chilling in the fridge or freezer is fine).
Marshmallow Peanut "Nougat"
3/4 cup marshmallows
2 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
In a heavy saucepan over medium low heat, melt marshmallows and peanut butter until smooth. Let cool. Once cooled you will be able to pull the "nougat" and from the saucepan and cut pieces to flatten in the palm of your hands and sandwich within the macarons.
Dulce de Leche
Adapted from Cooking for Engineers
Makes about 1 3/4 cups
14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
Heavy cream, as needed
Pour into large (preferably 2 1/2-qt. capacity) microwave-safe bowl. Heat on medium for 2 minutes. Whisk and repeat until appears curdled (around 7 to 10 minutes total, depending on your microwave oven). To use as a caramel sauce, simply stop heating at this point and stir the dulce de leche until smooth. For a thicker candy-like caramel, continue heating for another 2 minutes or so and stir until smooth again while still hot.
Peel the label off the can of sweetened condensed milk. Put it in a pressure cooker with enough water to come 2/3 up the can. Do NOT open the cans at all. The can won't explode because the pressure cooker equalizes the pressure, but please still proceed with caution and follow the manufacturer's directions for operating the pressure cooker safely! Close the pressure cooker, and bring it up to full pressure. Turn the heat down to maintain the pressure for 20 (lighter) to 30 (darker and thicker) minutes. Turn off the heat and and let the pressure cooker cool slowly. Once the cooker is completely cool, open the lid and remove the can with tongs. Do not open the can while it is still warm. If there's any pressure left in the can, it could spray and burn you with hot caramel. Wait until the can has completely cooled before opening it. Remove cooled caramel from can. If too thick for your liking, stir in 2 tablespoons of warm heavy cream at a time until desired consistency.

Way to go, Xiaolu! :) These are uh-mazing looking and probably even more amazing melting in my mouth. Wish I could reach thru the screen and try one.
xo, Margaret :)
The Bite Size Bakeroooo congrats! i recall u saying tt ure forever not daring to attempt macarons, but the final results are well worth it rights? here's to a whole new world (of macarons) i'm love your snickers version, u sure went all out with them! i'm sure you'll be churning out diff flavours...s'mores, blackforest and etc, possibilities are endless! ^^
ReplyDeleteOh no..I can't seem to find your other macaron posts.... Macaron's... I'm not sure if I should thank my family or cruse them for introducing them to me. One aspect I've learned over the years with making macaron's... I would have perfect batches then suddenly, an epic fail, it's quite a fault of my own for not using my oven temp each time... which I thought would have cured once I bought a very expensive oven.. NOT THE CASE. When I use fresh eggs I freeze them, rather than age them, something I learned from my pastry chef, then there are times I like using egg white powder... what I've found most difficult for me was adding flavors / powders or liquid and not allowing it to alter the recipe to where the macaron's fail.
Snickers... OMG GOSH, okay, you are bringing back some childhood memories now, I have not had one of those sine I was 10... sounds like such a great pair!!!Gorgeous macarons Xialou and I love the snickers spin on them! They look SO delicious!
I've still not attempted macarons. I've wanted to for a long time, but I've been put off by all the horror stories. Thanks for sharing all your tips, I have filed these away for the day I feel brave enough to attempt making them.Xiaolu, I follow you on Twitter - and I saw your tweets about these Snickers macs! Hehehe ...
Yea ... Your persistence did pay off! Totally deserved it. I made these macs, too, but for the shells, I've been using and tweaking Hisako Ogita's recipe. Fillings-wise, yes, I used Helene's for these. Here are mine:
Of course, mine aren't as good as yours. =)Oh my god, this is exceptional. Firstly, amazing amazing photos, second of all, Snickers, macarons, together? Hurrah! (I wish the individual macaron bit meant 'portion control' too but we all know that nobody stops at having one :p) I was also just wondering, do you reckon you would ever do a post on food photography/some tips? :)
ReplyDeleteJust when I wondered if I would ever have a reason to purchase a pressure cooker, you've presented me with the perfect excuse! A Snickers themed dessert isn't a strange concept to us here in Oz thanks to the very talented Phillipa Sibley http://www.philippasibley.com/news
but I'm saving a very special day to try out these tempting macarons!- AnonymousApril 29, 2011 at 2:47 PM
These look great! I REALLY want to make them, but I dont' have a scale to measure out the ingredients :(. I know you said not to convert anything, but is there any chance you know the equivalents in other measurements? Any help would be much appreciated!
ReplyDelete If you really want to try them without a scale, you can try this recipe from Martha Stewart which *I HAVE NEVER TRIED* http://www.marthastewart.com/319525/parisian-macaroons and ADD 2 Tbsp cocoa powder to the dry ingredients and use 2 Tbsp LESS powdered sugar. BUT I honestly think it's more worth it to spend the money and buy a cheap scale than to waste the money for ingredients (nuts aren't cheap!), effort, and time to make them without a scale and therefore make success much less likely. That being said, even if they don't look perfect, they would probably still taste good. Please let me know how it goes for you! =)
ReplyDelete- Sips and SpoonfulsApril 30, 2011 at 3:43 AM
My my...you really don't give up eh! Well done, they look pretty perfect to me. And thanks for all the great tips!
ReplyDelete Just wanted to say again how beautiful your macarons, and that picture is. Love that banner. :)
I had so many failures with macarons that my couple of successes stand out in my mind. Apart from the fact we find them too sweet there hasn't been enough motivation to make them again.
Maybe I just should give it another go.Thanks again!
Hannah - If I recall correctly, you made successful vegan macarons once. Were you able to adapt a chocolate version? I bet the nougat would be great with vegan marshmallows & you can make homemade coconut dulce de leche too.
Travellingfoodies - Thanks! Half my batches kept being total disasters until I realized my oven was heating unevenly and added a second pan to help insulate the top baking sheet. Keep trying and you'll figure out what works best =D- AnonymousApril 30, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Ok yours look way better than Martha Stewarts. I'm going to borrow a scale from a friend :). Thanks though! Also, for the marshmallows, is it a cup of regular sized ones or mini?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 30, 2011 at 7:14 PM
Alright I'm going to give them a go. I'll let you know how they turn out!
ReplyDelete Dear Xiaolu,
Congratulations for being on top 9. A very well made post with beautiful pictures. The macaroons are looking PERFECT in flavor. I wanted to swipe few cookies right away frm the screen. I have seen couple of recipes around of macaroons, but urs is looking awesome and cant wait to try some. Its always fun to see your recipes. Saving this recipe of urs and wud love to give ur version a try on the coming weekend. Have a great day !!!I was just admiring some chocolate macarons at a trendy cafe in Mexico City yesterday before attending a chocolate tasting and viola here is a recipe. I'll wait until my kids are grown though before I try making these. I don't need any extra frustrations these days. I've got my hands full with my 2 year old. You never fail to impress me Xiaolu! Congrats on making the Top 9 AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make macarons for quite some time now but have been intimidated to do so. I love that you shared your unsuccessful attempts and these wonderful pointers and tips on how to have them turn out as beautiful as yours (I sooooo wish I could eat a handful of them right now!).
Wonderful job.Absolutely sensational my dear girl, absolutely so!! You do make it sound ever so easy, but it isn't really so, and I give you a big bow!! *BOW*!! These are perfect, pretty and beautifully photographed too. Thank you for getting them over to Mactweets. {Oh and I love the new look and your picture here too}. Yay for macs, yay for Twitter...and yay for you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome macaroons with great photos!
http://spoon-and-chopsticks.blogspot.com/- AnonymousMay 1, 2011 at 11:39 PM
Well, I gave your recipe a first attempt and did not succeed. They still tasted good, but the macarons were more like a chewy cookie and didn't have that light airy texture. They also didn't puff up :(. Looks like I need a lot more practice! I'll be so excited the day my macarons look like yours :)
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMay 2, 2011 at 3:43 PM
I do have a picture..I'll send it :) I let them sit for about 30 min and checked that they had a shell over them and then baked them at about 285 for 20 min. It was hard to tell when they were done. The first batch came out ok, with minimal cracking but they just didn't turn out like a macaron should be. Also, the caramel turned out to be more tacky than saucy and my macarons looked like a thick sandwich haha. I probably just over cooked the milk though. I'll send you a pic!
ReplyDelete Love the banner and LOVE how your macarons turned out! I love snickers, but have yet to venture out of the traditional almond macarons since I'm deeply afraid I'll screw up. Kudos to you for trying 5 times!! It took me at least a month to get over my first macaron failure before I tried again! ;p
ReplyDeleteGreat macaron ideas - thank you for sharing! btw, here's a guide that shows how to start a macaron business www.TheMacaronMaster.com Enjoy! :)

quote:(before I started my own business and became self employed)
quote:Not gonna start a new thread, and not trying to hijack, but I worry about the IRS every single year I file my taxes. I use TurboTax, the wife and I make a little less than $100k a year, but I still worry. I get the audit protection that Turbo Tax offers. The past few years we have had a rental property, but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary. My question(s), with the small amount of money we make, are we really "targeted" or are they after bigger fish? If I was somehow in the wrong, do they give you a chance to pay the difference? Or is it straight to prison? I know, probably stupid questions but I am a worry wart.
quote:What's your strategy on business deductions? Balls to the wall? And what % of business expenses to income (1099 & self-employment incomes) do you think raises a red flag? 20%? 30%?
quote:Good info! If I ever owed anything, it would be considerably less than $25,000, I would imagine. Sucks that it happened to you.
quote:they do enjoy making examples of people, so don't risk it.
quote:Thanks - I hired a new CPA this year for just that reason. He's willing to bend some things a bit more than my old CPA cared to. Regarding the car, my business miles are not that much (<1000 last year), so someone advised me to lease my car to my business for $500/month - while I then can't write off mileage, that's $6k a year of lease expenses, plus all gas and all oil changes, maintenance, etc. So we're going to give that a shot this year
quote:Any cash or cash equivalent transaction exceeding $10,000 or any transaction(s) the bank classifies as unusual in nature or not customary by that customer
quote:What's your strategy on business deductions? Balls to the wall?
quote:And what % of business expenses to income (1099 & self-employment incomes) do you think raises a red flag? 20%? 30%?
quote:Shit, I just deposited two large checks from family members that will probably throw up a red flag. About one week apart from each other.
quote: No. I only deduct what I have receipts for and can prove I use in my business. My biggest deductible business "expense" is my annual contribution to my SEP.
quote: If it's a gift it's not taxable until $13,000 I think.
quote:Sounds like a good idea if you need a car, if you don't need the car, I wouldn't spend the $6K + maintenance,etc to save $1K in taxes
quote:Over $10K each? If it's a gift it's not taxable until $13,000 I think.
quote:Right - what I meant was that it is "my" car and already paid for. But instead of writing off mileage, I'll just lease my own car to my business, thus deducting my "lease payment" along with gas and maintenance.

It is a pleasure to join you today to speak about the nation's higher education agenda.
Before I begin my formal remarks, let me say that there is a lot going on right now on Capitol Hill. Because Congress has failed to agree on a solution, interest rates on new subsidized student loans doubled on July 1, costing seven million students an average of $1,000.
July 2, 2013
A lot has changed since I spoke here four years ago. I want to use this opportunity both to reflect on the theme of your conference"Delivering On the Dream"and to ask you to think ahead about what the charter movement should seek to accomplish in the next 20 years.

Thank you, Governor Sandoval. It's great to be here with my colleague and good friend, Secretary Sebelius, to talk about early learning.
June 25, 2013
Thank you, Clark. The work you are doing to help the next generation become more sophisticated in understanding the news is absolutely vital. To have full power over their lives, young people must understand the world they live in. They have to read, they have to follow the news, and they have to vote. All that is such an important part of what it means to be educated. So, thank you.

My thanks to Ron Haskins, and the Brookings Institution, for hosting this discussion about President Obama's landmark proposal for high-quality preschool.
And I'm happy to see Congresswoman Nancy Johnson, who's been a longtime champion for children and a great thought-partner on the President's proposal.

Case Study: Accelerating Back Testing of Algorithmic Trading Strategies
Algorithmic trading has become ever more popular in recent years – accounting for approximately half of all European and American stock trades placed in 2012. The trading strategies need to be back-tested regularly using historical market data for calibration and to check the expected return and risk. This is a computationally demanding process that can take hours to complete. However, back-testing the strategies frequently intra-day can significantly increase the profits for the trading institution.
Beyond Latency in the Moscow Markets
Russia's central financial marketplace has evolved so rapidly that it is now primed to become a key international hub, and the finance organisations able to anticipate and quickly adapt to this fast-changing environment will clearly emerge as market leaders. This whitepaper discusses the current state of Russia's electronic financial markets, and addresses the issues that need to be understood regarding infrastructure and connectivity challenges in Moscow.

ESPN really upset me earlier today. First off everyone knows ESPN is a joke and they only care about what Tebow ate for breakfast and what LeBron said on Twitter. ESPN decided it was a good idea to make fun of RMU. They said UK sells out more from 1 home game then RMU does all year in the Sewall center. RMU is 6k student body, why would they need a 23K stadium? It was just a stupid ignorant comment.

Low blood sugar is a condition that occurs when the body's blood sugar (glucose) is too low.
Blood sugar below 70 mg/dL is considered low. Blood sugar at or below this level can be harmful.
The medical name of low blood sugar is hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia; Insulin shock; Insulin reaction
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas. Insulin is needed to move glucose into cells where it is used for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into the cells. This leads to symptoms of diabetes.
Low blood sugar occurs due to any of the following:
Low blood sugar is common in people with diabetes who are taking insulin or other medicines to control their diabetes.
Babies born to mothers with diabetes may have severe drops in blood sugar.
In people who do not have diabetes, low blood sugar may be caused by:
Symptoms you may have when your blood sugar gets too low include:
Even if you do not have symptoms, your blood sugar could still be too low. You may not even know you have low blood sugar until you faint, have a seizure , or go into a coma.
If you check your blood sugar at home, the reading will be lower than 70 mg/dL on your glucose monitor.
At the hospital, you will likely have blood samples taken from your vein to:
The goal of treatment is to correct your low blood sugar level.
If you have diabetes, it is likely your health care provider told you how to treat yourself for low blood sugar . Treatment can include drinking juice or eating food or glucose tablets. Or you may have been told to give yourself a shot of glucagon. This is a medicine that raises blood sugar.
If low blood sugar is caused by an insulinoma (insulin-releasing tumor), surgery to remove the tumor will be recommended.
Severe low blood sugar is a medical emergency. It can cause seizures and brain damage. Severe low blood sugar that causes you to become unconscious is called insulin shock.
Severe low blood sugar may make it less likely for you to have symptoms that allow you to recognize another episode of low blood sugar.
If signs of low blood sugar do not improve after you have eaten a snack that has sugar:

We just saw a new window display one recently posted online so we thought we'd showcase a few of these now.

"I was the pilot of the plane when we saw the UFO. Also on board were Governor Reagan and a couple of his security people. We were flying a Cessna Citation. It was maybe 9 or 10 o'clock at night. We were near Bakersfield, California when Governor Reagan and the others called my attention to a big light flying a bit behind my plane. It appeared to be several hundred yards away. It was a fairly steady light until it began to accelerate, then it appeared to elongate. Then the light took off. It went up at a 45-degree angle-at a high rate of speed. Everyone on the plane was surprised. Governor Reagan expressed amazement. I told the others I didn't know what it was...The UFO went from a normal cruise speed to a fantastic speed instantly...If you give an airplane power it will accelerate-but not like a hot rod, and that's what this was like."
Bull Paynter, a pilot with thousands of logged hours, in Sacremento California
"Certainly when I socialized with my RAF colleagues, I would find that they were a little bit more receptive to the idea of UFOs--and by that I mean perhaps even an extraterrestrial explanation for this -- than you might have supposed. One of the reasons for that was that so many RAF pilots had actually seen things themselves. Many of them have never made an official report. I had one chap tell me that he had seen something over the North Sea. I asked him why he hadn't reported it, and he said, 'I don't want to be known as Flying Saucer Fred for the rest of my career.'"
Nick Pope, headed up the "UFO desk" at Air Secretariat 2-A, British Ministry of Defense from 1991-1994.
"We were asking the Americans, 'Are you operating a prototype aircraft in our airspace?' That, of course, was nonsense. You simply would not do that from a diplomatic and political point of view. It would undermine the entire structure of NATO if you were putting things through someone else's airspace, particularly a close ally, without seeking the proper diplomatic clearance. But we had to ask. And the Americans, having had similar reports, I guess, since the Hudson Valley wave [New York state, mid-1980s], had been quietly asking us if we had some large, triangular shaped object that could go from 0 to Mach 5 in a second. Our response was that we wished we did. This was the bizarre situation: that we were chasing the Americans, and the Americans were chasing us.
The official line from the Ministry of Defense is, 'Yes, this happened. No, we don't know what it is, but we say that it is of no defense significance.' How can it possibly be of no defense significance when your best jet is left for standing by a UFO? And, again, how can it be of no defense significance when your air defense region is routinely penetrated by structured craft?"
Nick Pope, headed up the "UFO desk" at Air Secretariat 2-A, British Ministry of Defense from 1991-1994
"What was especially important was that, at a distance of 180 kilometers apart, the records about the direction of movement of the strange aerial body in space, made independently by at least two different observers was basically the same. . . .To the present time this strange phenomenon has not been satisfactorily explained, yet there were thousands of good observers who had seen it."
Zhang Zhousheng, astronomer at the Yunnan Observatory in Chengdu City, China--Zhousheng and others nearby watched a strange glowing, spiral object moving steadily across the sky for about five minutes on the evening of July 26, 1977.
"In concealing the evidence of UFO operations, the Air Force is making a serious mistake."
Lt. Colonel James McAshan, USAF
"I was there at [Project] Bluebook and I know the job they had. They were told not to excite the public, not to rock the boat... Whenever a case happened that they coud explain--which was quite a few--they made a point of that, and let that out to the media. . .Cases that were very difficult to explain, they would jump handsprings to keep the media away from them. They had a job to do, rightfully or wrongfully, to keep the public from getting excited."
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, former Chairman of the Dept. of Astronomy at North Western University and scientific advisor to Project Bluebook from 1952-1969
"Flying saucers are probably real extra-terrestrial spacecraft."
From Project Sign's "Estimate of the Situation"--the final report issued by Project Sign which began in 1948 under the auspices of the Air Technical Intelligence Center in an effort to solve the UFO mystery. They studied 243 cases before issuing this final statement to the Pentagon.
"There are in excess of 200 reports of the type that we had from down in Louisiana, from people claiming that they have had direct contact with a spacecraft full of aliens. I mean 200 reports from witnesses who are as reliable or more so than these people. I'm not counting the reports from the obvious crackpots that have an axe to grind....If you accept them at face value then you're forced to accept that we have been visited."
Dr. John Sathco, an Astronomer at the University of Southern California, 1973
"There are of course many phenomena in this world which are not explained and it is possible to say that the orthodox scientist is the last person to accept that something new (or old) may exist which cannot be explained in accordance with his understanding of natural laws."
Earl Alexander of Tunis, British Minister of Defense
"Of these UFO reports,the radar/visual reports are the most convincing. When a ground radar picks up a UFO target and a ground observer sees a light where the radar target is located,then a jet interceptor is scrambled to intercept the UFO and the pilot also sees the lights and gets a radar lock only to have the UFO almost impudently outdistance him,there is no simple answer."
Edward J Ruppelt USAF Capt 1956
"The undeniable reality is that there are a substantial number of multi-sensor UFO cases backed by thousands of credible witnesses. In the physical domain there are many photos, videos, radar tracking, satellite sensor reports, landing traces including depressions and anomalous residual radiation, electromagnetic interference, and confirmed physiological effects. Personal observations have been made both day and night, often under excellent visibility with some at close range. Included are reports from multiple independent witnesses to the same event. Psychological testing of some observers has confirmed their mentally competence. Why is none of this considered evidence?"
John B. Alexander,Ph.D.
"The fact that since 1946 numerous persons in all countries have made detailed reports of events they regard as strange, mysterious, sometimes even terrifying, deserves attention. While many of the reports can be traced to natural events, we intend to demonstrate that, after the inevitable errors and the obvious hoaxes are eliminated, the reports reveal common characterstics, possess a high degree of internal coherence, and appear to be the result of the witnesses' exposure to a set of unusual circumstances."
Dr. Jacques Vallee, Astrophysicist
from the introduction to 'Challenge to Science: The UFO Enigma', 1966
"I will stress once again that we do not know the source from which the UFOs or the alien beings come (whether or not, for example, they originate in the physical universe as modern astrophysics has described it). But they manifest in the physical world and bring about definable consequences in that domain."
John E. Mack, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard University, Pulitzer Prize winning author
"Over the past eighteen years I have acted as a scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force on the subject of unidentified flying objects – UFO's. As a consequence of my work on the voluminous air force files and, to a greater extent, of personal investigation of many puzzling cases and interviews with witnesses of good repute, I have long been aware that the subject of UFO's could not be dismissed as mere nonsense."
Dr J Allen Hynek, Chairman of the Department of Astronomy at Northwestern University and scientific consultant for Air Force investigations of UFOs from 1948 until 1969 (Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book).

Definition | Reasons for Procedure | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Doctor
The mediastinum is the area in the middle of the chest between the lungs. A mediastinoscopy is a procedure to look at this area inside the chest. A tube with a light (mediastinoscope) is placed into the upper chest through a small opening (mediastinotomy). The light allows the doctor to see the area.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This is done to examine the lungs and chest. The doctor might take tissue samples ( biopsy ). These samples are viewed under a microscope to check for diseases like:
Mediastinoscopy is also done to find out if lung cancer has spread.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have mediastinoscopy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Discuss these risks with your doctor before this procedure.
Your doctor will explain the procedure to you and ask you to sign a consent form. You will be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8-10 hours before the procedure. Your doctor will tell you whether you should:
The day of the procedure:
You will receive a general anesthetic through an IV in your hand or arm. This will block any pain and keep you asleep throughout the procedure. Once you are sedated, a breathing tube will be placed in your throat to help you breathe.
After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room. If all is well, your breathing tube will likely be removed. The tissue samples will be sent to the laboratory for testing.
30 minutes to 2 hours
General anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Your doctor may give you pain medicine for pain and tenderness after the procedure.
This procedure can be done in an outpatient setting or as part of your hospital stay. The usual length of stay is up to 24 hours if there are no unforeseen complications. Some people may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.
