Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 3+ months - interviewed at Verizon.
Interview Details – The process will require that you take two test, a written examination which includes sentence structure and math, a lantoplogy one on networking so it is good to have CCNA knowledge here and A+ knowledge. You are required to pass two test here. There is then a structured interview after that with management and supervisors. You are then required to pass a drug test and background investigation with your college credentials and work history. Followed by another 14 weeks of training upon accepting the offer for the job which includes audio, voice and video services of FiOS. If you do not pass the testing, you have no job though. So you better be knowledgeable, pay attention and be the type to hit the ground running. You also need to have a pretty clean background and be honest on your educational background too. Honestly the process is meant to pick out the best possible candidates similar to the examinations you see for Police. This is a new standard for the company which should have been implemented a long time ago to insecure the best candidates were hired prior to unions getting involved to protect those who are not actually qualified.
Interview Question – What would you do if a supervisor or manager was not present and you had to make a decision? View Answer
Negotiation Details – I was happy with the offer.

Very Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 6 weeks - interviewed at Verizon in February 2013.
Interview Details – Sent in my resume. Two days later a Verizon recruiter called me asking to do a phone interview the following day. He called back the next day and we conducted the phone interview which consisted of about 30 min. of behavioral questions? (Tell me about a time when you were working with another co-worker that wasn't pulling their weight and what you did about it?) At the end of the interview he told me the interview went well and he will tell the hiring managers to proceed with the next steps. He then sent me an email with a link to setup 2 tests at a local college.
The first one was a Talent Skills Assessment which had a 60 min. time limit on it. (that test consisted of math problems and scenario questions) If you pass the first test, you then take the Computer & Internet Knowledge Test which is similar to the A+ Certification Test with a lot of networking questions and a 45 min. time limit. After the test it asked me to setup a In-Person Interview. I scheduled that for the following day.
It was a panel interview with 3 people on the other side of table with one of them being the Supervisor for the position. The panel interview was a structured interview (which is a set of questions from a booklet that they ask every person interviewing. That way it is fair and everyone gets the same questions.) They said they were hiring for 10 positions and it would be a few weeks until I heard a decision.
After 6 weeks I finally got a call offering me the position with a training start date 3 weeks away.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you had to complete a project with no training or concept of how it works, and how you handled the situation and what was the outcome? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation, they offered me the max pay rate for that position based on my previous experience.

Easy Interview
The process took 1+ week - interviewed at Verizon in January 2012.
Interview Details – I applied on the website on a Sunday evening. Monday morning I was contacted for my first telephone interview. I scheduled that interview for Tuesday afternoon. After the interview (which was a personality interview) I received an email telling me I qualified for the position and to schedule skills testing. I scheduled the testing for the first available date which was Thursday morning. The testing consisted of an IQ test, a behavioral test and a Skills assessment. I passed all tests and was granted a 2nd phone interview for Friday afternoon. This interview was with 2 people from HR who asked pretty much the same types of questions as the first phone interview. I received notice on Monday morning via email that I still qualified for the position and a rep would call me when they had an available job opportunity. I got the call with the job offer on Monday evening and accepted the offer over the telephone.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time you were in a difficult situation and how did you handle it. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. I maxed out the pay scale for the position with my experience and bachelor's degree.

Even though it currently is superseded by contemporary ignition, there are still lots of vehicles nowadays that utilize the distributor that fires cylinders by means of on time distribution of sparks. Your Honda Civic Del Sol distributor will not be efficient at achieving that if its components such as the distributor cap and the rotor are not in tiptop shape since they're actually the units that perform very hard to bring current from your coil into the proper cylinder.
One of the strengths of this kind of ignition is, it's easy to see whether your distributor is starting to breakdown because the signals it gives out are linked to the ignition. One of the symptoms that the distributor in your Honda Civic Del Sol is defective are difficulty in activating the vehicle particularly in winter, unusual banging which can vary from slight vibrations to evident shaking, and squealing sound that's typically high-pitched. You can try to clean your distributor cap first and see if these symptoms vanish right after; once they still appear, replacement is the most effective answer.
At Parts Train, the high-quality Honda Civic Del Sol distributor you will need is just right at your fingertips and it could be acquired at any time at reasonable costs. This store retains a great relationship with leading companies including Standard, Mallory, and YEC which means you don't have to worry about the standard of the parts you will be buying.

Serbia gave potential investors two more weeks to make offers for Galenika AD, an unprofitable drugmaker, as the government seeks to turn around money-losing state enterprises.
International pharmaceutical companies will have until April 1, instead of an original March 18 deadline, to submit letters of intent, according to the announcement the Belgrade- based Finance Ministry posted on its website.
Serbia invited companies active in the pharmaceuticals industry over the past five years and with operating revenue of more than 200 million euros ($267 million) in 2011, on Jan. 15 to submit their own proposals for a "privatization model" for Galenika.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told officers who found him sleeping in his car outside an apartment complex hours before he committed a murder-suicide that he was there to visit a woman he described as his "girlfriend," but that she wasn't home.
The apartment complex is about 15 kilometres from the Kansas City home Belcher shared with 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their three-month-old daughter Zoey. Belcher shot Perkins at their home Saturday morning before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility's parking lot, police said.
Police responded to a report about 2:50 a.m. Saturday of a man sleeping in his car outside an apartment building, police spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday. When police approached the car, Belcher got out of the vehicle and was co-operative, Snapp said.
"We ask him 'Why are you sleeping here?', and he says he's there to visit his girlfriend, but she's not home," Snapp said.
When police determined Belcher didn't have any outstanding warrants, Snapp said Belcher, 25, made a phone call and a short time later, a woman let Belcher into her building. Police did not question the woman and don't know who she is, he said.
"When he was sleeping she may have come home, and he didn't realize," Snapp said. "He was very co-operative and thanked the officers."
Snapp said that was the last contact police had with Belcher "until his name came up" with the shooting at his home.
Witnesses have since told police that Belcher stayed at that apartment until 6:30 a.m., Snapp said.
At about 7:50 a.m., police were called to Belcher's home after he had shot and killed Perkins, whose body was found on the floor of the master bathroom with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a police incident report.
Belcher then drove about eight kilometres to Arrowhead Stadium, where he was met by general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel, who Belcher thanked for all they had done for him. When police arrived, Belcher moved behind a vehicle, out of clear view of officers, Snapp said. He said Belcher then knelt down and shot himself once in the head.
Snapp said Belcher also used two separate, legally registered handguns in the shootings.
Friends have said the relationship between Belcher and Perkins was strained. The couple briefly lived apart recently before getting back together by Thanksgiving, friend Brianne York told The Associated Press.
Kansas City Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews said Tuesday he wasn't aware of what counselling efforts the team may have made for Belcher and Perkins.
Belcher played college football at the University of Maine, where he repeatedly was the subject of university police reports. A University of Maine spokeswoman provided the reports to the AP.
In April 2006, Belcher punched his fist through a dorm window after becoming upset over a woman, documents said.
And in February 2007, a noise complaint was lodged after "a discussion outside of his room" between Belcher and a woman. The report says "both stated that she was to contact him by 23:00 hours and did not. He became worried and when she did show up he told her that he did not want to see her until the morning."
Also Tuesday, police posted a brief audio recording of some of Saturday morning's dispatch traffic. In the 1-minute, 41-second audio compilation, a dispatcher is relaying information about the shooting at Belcher's home.
In one segment, the dispatcher says a 22-year-old woman had been shot at the Belcher address, "possibly by her son."
In another segment, the dispatcher says someone is at Arrowhead with an unknown weapon and later that an "unknown party at the (Chiefs) practice field confronted the staff and they don't know what he's armed with."
Snapp said that was the only audio police planned to release regarding the shootings.

"Kung Fu Panda" proves that Dreamworks can produce a great movie yet again
June 09, 2008, 6:09PM
Doubting James. Yes, Its true. I didn't think Dreamworks Animation could possibly make a heartfelt and hilarious children's film without consistently crude gags and pop culture references. I was wrong. "Kung Fu Panda" is a beautifully animated film, filled with voice such high-caliber voice talents as Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan and even Angelina Jolie. The film follows...

"First Blood" was a great movie.

Imagine how seeing that film would inspire a shy, frail young boy who... Full story »

"You Don't Mess With the Zohan" is just downright awful
June 08, 2008, 8:50PM
I'll be blunt: "Zohan" is just a really bad movie, and that's it. "Zohan" is packed with a truckload of cringe-inducing moments. That's not to say there aren't a few funny parts. However, they're crammed in between two hours of a cast uttering nauseatingly bad accents and terrible broken English; shockingly unfunny ethnic, racial and minority stereotypes; two gross-out...

If you're a fan of Adam Sandler comedies as I am, you know that they've been going downhill and rapidly approaching unwatchable ever since, to be generous, "Mr. Deeds." Within Sandler's repertoire, it's fair to say that "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" is funny and entertaining enough. That being said, it's no award winner. Zohan (Sandler) is an... Full story »

This film shows 24 elderly members of a music group who still love to sing and are more than willing to keep their love for music up until their deaths (literally).

HMRC's "Settlement Opportunity" under which employers with Employee Benefit Trusts ("EBTs") can pay the tax authority's assessment of outstanding tax liabilities and unwind the arrangement without recourse to litigation may not suit all circumstances, according to KPMG in the UK.
Many employers have EBTs in place as they have been widely used over the last 10-15 years. Where they have been used as a tax efficient alternative to cash bonuses, often using "sub-trusts" to provide long term benefits to employees and / or their families, the employer faces an issue with the tax authorities.
HMRC has introduced legislation to counter the use of EBTs in this way in the future but it has also said that it will continue to litigate cases where EBTs have been used in this way historically. This approach is based on HMRC's published view that money paid to a "sub-trust" is taxable earnings of the employee at the time it is paid in.
At the same time as taking this stance, HMRC has published a "Settlement Opportunity" to allow employers who have EBTs to approach them with a view to reaching a settlement and ultimately avoiding the risk of litigation.
But the decision to settle or not is complex. Jayne Vaughan, tax partner at KPMG in the UK, comments: "The threat of litigation is clearly not something to take lightly. However, employers with an EBT need to seriously consider whether the EBT Settlement Opportunity is something which is of interest to them, as this is a complex area of law and will require input from tax and legal specialists to determine the viability of settlement."
"Upon review of their circumstances, it may be that the 'Settlement Opportunity' is simply a costly and unattractive option for employers," Jayne Vaughan continued. "For example, whilst the 'Settlement Opportunity' is a corporate settlement in the first instance, it is likely that companies will look to the Trustees and/or beneficiaries to ultimately fund the tax liabilities which are due. In practice, this may prove difficult to recover (especially in the case of former employees or where for example assets have been loaned from the EBT) leaving the employer facing a potentially unwanted additional cost or having to undertake a 'partial' settlement with HMRC i.e. reaching settlement in respect of certain beneficiaries only."
According to KPMG, sometimes the best course of action may be no action.
Jayne Vaughan explains: "In some cases, the best option may be to do nothing and continue to operate the EBTs as before (with benefits from their EBTs being subject to tax under the relatively new Disguised Remuneration rules). However, if employers with EBTs choose to do nothing, they could well face litigation as part of HMRC's published strategy (as noted above). But if an EBT arrangement has been correctly implemented, it could withstand a litigation challenge from HMRC and so this is also something to assess before considering the 'Settlement Opportunity'".
But how to weigh up the options? KPMG has been talking to a number of clients with EBTs. Some of the most 'frequently asked questions' are listed here:
What is the time scale for using the Settlement Opportunity?
There is no formal deadline to enter the Settlement Opportunity, and it does not suit all situations. The decision to enter the settlement is not straightforward and will depend on a trust's specific circumstances.
What are the terms of the Settlement?
Broadly speaking, the settlement would see employers accept HMRC's tax analysis and to pay the PAYE/NICs on contributions made to an EBT. The main incentive to enter the Settlement Opportunity is to provide certainty over the liabilities in relation to the EBT and to allow the employer and employee beneficiaries the opportunity to 'exit' the arrangement without recourse to litigation.
How is the amount owed in the Settlement calculated?
There are a number of tax and legal considerations that employers need to take account of, to correctly calculate the amount due under the Settlement - for example: is HMRC within the statutory time limits to be able to collect PAYE/NIC; the corporation tax position on contributions; the inheritance tax status of the EBT; the tax treatment of income/gains within the EBT; the risk of successful litigation; and what disclosure has been made to HMRC in respect of the EBT and what are the alternative options to the Settlement Opportunity (e.g. to do nothing)? HMRC has recently issued an "FAQ" document which sets out the way in which the settlement is intended to operate – this runs to some 43 pages.
Which stakeholders (if any) need to be involved?
There are other interested parties who will inevitably need to be consulted as part of these considerations. EBTs are typically administered by independent third party trustee companies and so they would need to be involved (as they have control over the EBT assets) and also the employee beneficiaries of the EBT, some of whom may no longer be employees of the employer.

Partick will be without Steven Craig for their top of the table clash with Dunfermline following the striker's dismissal against Cove Rangers in the Scottish Cup last Saturday.
The Jags are further weakened by the absence through ankle injuries of Stuart Bannigan and Sean Welsh with a hip problem keeping on-loan Celtic man Paul Slane on the sidelines.
Hugh Murray returns after illness and Firhill manager Jackie McNamara has added youngsters Jordan Leyden and Jonathan Black to his squad.
McNamara said: "A win is the only result that can put us back to the top of the table so that is what we are aiming for. It will be tight but we came out on top earlier in the season and a repeat of that success would be great.''
Dunfermline look set to have a fully fit squad with Stephen Jordan set to return after injury and Callum Morris available after illness.
Joe Cardle, Josh Falkingham, Stephen Husband and Andy Kirk were all doubts earlier in the week, however they took part in a full training session on Friday.
"We are in great shape which is just as well as Partick are right on our tails,'' assistant manager Gerry McCabe said. "They are a really strong team particularly at home where they have won five games out of five.
"I am sure it will be a great game and whilst nothing will be decided in it I am sure that we would take a great boost by winning."

Noxious Cold Ion Channel TRPA1 Is Activated by Pungent Compounds and Bradykinin
Supplemental Data for Bandell et al.
- Supplemental Figure S1 (JPG 134 kb)
- Effects of Cold and Cinnamaldehyde on TRPA1(A and B) Inward current from repeated applications of cold (A) and 100 μM cinnamaldehyde (B) on oocytes expressing hTRPA1. The second cinnamaldehyde pulse resulted in a current that was on average 250% ± 23% (n = 6) of the first pulse, compared to 62% ± 7% (n = 5) for the second of two cold pulses. Increased currents by repeated application of cinnamaldehyde (sensitization) in oocyte recordings is in contrast to strong desensitization to cinnamaldehyde observed in mTRPA1-expressing CHO cell.(C and D) Temperature does not affect cinnamaldehyde EC50. Dose response curves of cinnamaldehyde and menthol on CHO cells stably expressing mTRPA1 (C) or mTRPM8 (B), respectively. Measurements were taken at 23̊C (triangles) or 35̊C on FLIPR. Each datapoint represents an average of four independent readings.
- Supplemental Figure S2 (JPG 208 kb)
- Effect of PLC Inhibition on TRPA1 and TRPM8Calcium imaging experiments performed on CHO cells stably transfected with mTRPA1 (A) and mTRPM8 (B–D). B2R is transiently transfected in mTRPA1 CHO cells (A). Preincubation of 10 μM of U-73122 (a specific PLC inhibitor) but not U-73343 (an inactive close analog) strongly downregulates responses to 100 nM BK (A) and mTRPM8 response to cold (B) and 100 μM menthol (C). Coapplication (instead of preincubation) of 10 μM U-71322 with 100 μM menthol does not inhibit TRPM8 (D). Traces represent average fluorescence ratios of ∼50 cells.

Subjects of past TED talks have covered all manner of business, art, technology and philosophy. CEOs, inventors, brainy fashion models and precocious kids have all presented unique thinking. Taking it one step further, the theme for this week's TEDxUNCAsheville is rethinking. "Topics include the parable of the pan, rethinking community gardening and activism, techniques for living a happy life, student military veteran treatment and the death of the rock star," says a press release for the conference, which is organized by students. The 15 speakers include five professors, five students and five local residents. TEDxUNCAsheville will be held in Lipinksy Auditorium at UNC Asheville on Saturday, Feb. 15, from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. $5/$8/$10. tedxuncasheville.org.

"I've destroyed multiple friendships by doing this. I also have, in one instance, hit 'Reply to All' and sent a company proposal directly to my competitors." Randy says Kristen has to apologize for what she's already done. "And here's the hard part: You have to mean it," he says. "And you can make amends in some way. You know, sending flowers is not amiss here. You have to demonstrate that you really regret what you did, and you really won't do it again." He also advises starting to use an underappreciated function in your e-mail program—the 'Drafts' file. "Look at it tomorrow. Reconsider," he says. "It's the e-mail equivalent of counting to 10 before you, you know, punch a guy." Faith's answer is less technical. "You called yourself the queen.

Biography of Angela Davis
I am an aspiring poet and author. I have written several poems that I will gradually add here. Any feed back is welcome, including constructive criticism.
Many of my poems are of the abuse. I am placing them in hopes of educating people to it's emotional effects. Too often people think of only the physical harm it causes. But often the emotional suffering inflicted by such things is far worse than the physical, and lasts much longer.

dinner YYC Sunday
Looking for a place near the Saddledome for a moderately priced dinner (casual) with a 3 year old (easy to please) and needs to be wheelchair accessible. No Asian foods. Thanks!
Loungeburger? Corner of Macleod and 14th Ave? You'd have to call to see if they're accessible, but it's pretty casual (one side is a restaurant, the other more of a lounge). I don't think they'd have a kids menu though.
1331 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0K3, CA-
re: Jetgirly
thanks everyone, 2 or 3 steps is okay, we can handle that
one thing that is helpful is parking though, the wheelchair van takes up a lot of room and can only exit on the passenger side. I realize this may rule out 17th ave, unless something has parking in back. I don't want to have to push the wheelchair for blocks just to get parking.
Not much around there with that criteria - most places are closed on Sunday for dinner around there - I work around there so I am quite annoyed with that fact when I have to work overtime. Earl's on 4th Street is the closest I can think of.that would be open and be OK for kids and wheelchairs.
Radjoot for Indian is open and meets your criteria, unless you consider that Asian as well. Inglewood might have a couple places but I can't think of any open on Sunday.
re: 23skidoo
I thought of that too, but it is definitely not wheelchair accessible unless they've put in an elevator.
Jacqueline Suzanne's in Inglewood is good and should be open, but you'll have to call to see if it is wheelchair accessible - I can't remember, but I think not.
Boccocino's Trattoria is close to the Saddledome but I don't know if it is open Sundays, and I haven't been there.
Buon Giorno will probably fit the bill, and I think it is open Sundays. It's just west on 17th Ave by 8th Street.
Buon Giorno
823 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB , CA-
re: ybnormal
Boccocino's Trattoria closed several years ago. In its place is an upper-scale Italian restaurant called La Vita e Bella. You have to navigate several narrow stairs to get into the restaurant so it is definitely not wheelchair-friendly.

A preview of Beyoncè's new music video "Run the World (Girls)" was shown.
This weeks Co-Mentor was Beyoncè. Unlike all the other mentors this season, Beyoncè was not side by side with Jimmy, but rather mentored much like the mentors in previous seasons, however, she was only brought in for the first round, therefore making her a Co-Mentor. Also, she is the first person to ever Mentor during Top 3 week.
Singer Neil Sedaka was in the audience tonight.
Prior to the video clip of Jimmy revealing his choices to each contestant, the original auditions for them was shown.
After the video clip before Scotty's third song, Ryan's mic was turned on late.
Lauren messed up during her second song.
Before her second performance Lauren's pantyhose ripped so she had to quickly get make up applied to her legs while her video played.
During her first performance, Haley fell on the stairs on her way up to the stage.
Haley's dad played the guitar during her first performance. This is the first time a family member has performed on stage with a contestant.
A video was shown of the Idols watching a tape of Lady Gaga performing "You and I". Enrique Iglesias performed "Dirty Dancer" and "I Like It". During "Dirty Dancer" a video of Usher singing his part was shown and Pitbull's part of "I Like It" was used in the backtrack. Jordin Sparks performed "I Am Woman" and a music video for "(It) Feels Good" by Steven Tyler was shown. This is the third different Judge to premiere a music video on Idol, and the second time this season (three including the preview for Jennifer's last week).
The Ford Music Video was "Fireflies" by Owl City. The contestants used some sort of magic marker that left neon lights as the swooshed to make pictures of things.

by Raspberri Cupcakes on June 14, 2013 in Food and Wellbeing, Voices 2013 | 6 comments
Steph writes at Raspberri Cupcakes. As a Top 5 Food and Wellbeing blog in Voices of 2013, Steph will be writing for us over the next few weeks. This week she tells us what's "in the oven"…
Macarons. They've garnered a bit of a reputation haven't they? You know that there's a macaron craze going on when they start selling them at Maccas. Some people might turn their noses up at this trend, but I believe I'll still be making these little cookies even after the madness passes.
I like to call them cookies because it takes some of the pressure off them, the expectation that they'll somehow taste so good they'll change your life and the terror that comes with the thought of trying to making them at home. In the end they're just another cookie.
Like most store-bought baked goods, there's plenty of mediocre macarons that are sold in stores. They can be dry and crunchy, weird-flavoured, tasteless or just way too sweet. I totally believe it's worth the time and effort to make them yourself, there is something really rewarding about getting them right. There aren't many baked goods that I'd prefer to buy from a store than make in my own oven.
I've been making macarons for several years now. Every time I pop a tray of macarons into the oven I go through the same ritual; I wait patiently for a few minutes and then eagerly peer through the oven door glass to check if they have developed 'feet', that unmistakable crinkly edge on the bottom of each macaron shell. It's one of the signs of a successful macaron and always makes me break out in a little celebratory "YAY there's feet!" dance in the middle of my kitchen.
It never gets old, the small satisfaction that comes with making good batch of macarons. This particular batch incorporates one of my favourite baking flavours – Milo. They're full of chocolatey, malty goodness.
Many people tell me that they're too scared to try making macarons but I am always trying to convey the idea that there is nothing too intimidating about these little sweets. I've made them in all kinds of flavours and I have a particular love for animal-themed macarons; chicks, koalas, cats, pigs, bunnies. There's so much fun to be had with them.
It really comes down to a few important points:
Be prepared, practice and know your oven.
Read up on all the great macaron tutorials that are available online (I'm a fan of BraveTart's).
Weigh out all your ingredients (preferably with some good kitchen scales) before you start mixing anything and ensure that they're at room temperature.
Make sure your meringue is whipped until it's very dry and stiff, and that you really deflate all the air out of the meringue when you mix it into your icing sugar and almond meal mixture.
Always let your piped macarons sit out to dry for at least an hour, it ensures that they form feet.
If you fail, don't give up! Your method may just need some tweaking. Every oven is so different, you have to adjust your baking temperature to suit the way your oven runs. For example, the oven in my last apartment was super old and had no fan. It tended to run really cool and I would usually set it to about 150°C. My current oven is fan-forced and seems to be way hotter than the temperature it is set to, so I usually set it to around 120°C for macarons. An oven thermometer will help you figure out how accurate your oven is, or if you're like me you'll get a feel for it the more you use your oven.
But my main point for all of this is that you should never be too afraid to try making macarons, it's just a cookie! Once you get a hang of plain macaron shells you can experiment with other flavours like these Milo Macarons.
Makes 12-15 macarons
Note: if you are a beginner with macarons, read up and practice plain macarons first. BraveTart has lots of useful advice and info on the subject.
For the shells 100g egg white, at room temperature 1/2 tsp salt 110g almond meal, at room temperature and well sifted 185g icing sugar 15g Milo powder plus extra for dusting (replace with equal amounts of icing sugar if you want to try baking plain, unflavoured shells) 50g caster sugar Optional: 1 tsp powdered egg whites (available from The Essential Ingredient), helps to stabilise egg whites but is not necessary
Line two baking trays with good quality baking paper. Place icing sugar in food processor and pulse for a minute to remove any lumps. Stir in almond meal and pulse for about 30 seconds to combine. (If you don't have a processor just sift together with a fine sieve.) Sift into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt (and egg white powder) in a medium mixing bowl until it reaches soft peaks. With the mixer on high speed, gradually add sugar and beat until it reaches stiff peaks.
Add meringue to your dry mixture and mix together with a spatula, quickly at first to break down the bubbles in the egg white (you really want to beat all the large bubbles out of the mixture, which is easily done by smearing the mixture on the bottom and side of the bowl with your spatula), then mix carefully as the dry mixture becomes incorporated and it starts to become shiny again. Take care not to overmix, the mixture should flow like lava and a streak of mixture spread over the surface of the rest of the mixture should disappear after about 30 seconds.
Place mixture in a piping bag with a 1cm round piping tip. Pipe rounds about 3cm diameter on your prepared trays, leaving at least 2cm space around each one. Tap baking sheets carefully and firmly on the benchtop a couple times to remove any large bubbles. Leave to dry for about an hour, so that when you press the surface of one gently it does not break/stick to your finger. This will help prevent any cracking and help the feet to form on the macs.
Preheat your oven to 130-150°C, depending on your oven. You can place the sheet of piped shells on top of an upside-down roasting tray or another baking tray, for better heat distribution. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your shells. Carefully test if the base of the shell is ready by gently lifting one and if it's still soft and sticking to the baking paper, then it needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
Remove from the oven and cool on the tray for a few minutes, then gently remove from the sheet, dip in extra Milo powder to dust the shells and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Milo Ganache 100g good quality milk chocolate, finely chopped 100ml pure (heavy) cream 50g (about 1/2 cup) Milo powder
Place chopped chocolate and Milo powder in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Heat cream in a small saucepan on medium heat until it just comes to the boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate and Milo. Leave for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then use a whisk to combine all the ingredients until smooth.
Chill in fridge until mixture thickens but is still pipeable, whisking it every 10 minutes or so. Spoon or pipe between macaron shells.
Refrigerate overnight in an airtight container to allow them to mature. Remove from the fridge about half an hour before serving so they come closer to room temperature.
I have tried Macca's macarons. They are surprisingly good, mango one is divine and I am not a mango fan. Can't beat homemade though.
Steph, you are so right! The best part about making your own macarons, (aside from eating them of course!) is peering through the oven door and seeing that your macarons have developed "feet". I feel like a rock star every time! I too will be making macarons long after this current craze is over. The milo version looks amazing!!
Pingback: Adventures in Macarons | marshmallowpost
Hi Steph, making this right now. I was confused about the 50g of Milo. You don't mention when you add that, just to dust with extra Milo. I added to my dry mixture. Hopefully that will work out! Will put them in the oven in 30 min! Thanks for your recipes, I love them so much!
Maccas Macarons are chewy and not the real consistency of a real macaron in my opinion! I've tried twice.
In my country they don't sell Milo! With what can i replace it? I love the fun to taste the flavors from different countries! But im not sure what to use instead? And since english is not my speaking language, it's sometimes difficult to find some replacement to use instead. I hope you can tell me something to replace it with, in order to get the same type of flavor! Thanks in advance! Byebye. I love your recipe though! <3
