Yunishigawa Kamakura Festival (Tochigi) att. JAPAN 15 Let's learn from a veteran Japanese housewife! Basic Japanese Home Cooking Tai no Kobu (Konbu)-jime Konbu-cured Sea Bream Ingredients (serves 4) 2 llets of sea bream for sashimi (400 g) Sauce (nihaizu) 2 pieces of konbu kelp (15-cm long) Equal amounts of soy sauce and vinegar Salt *Citrus juice can be substituted for the vinegar in the sauce. Wasabi This time, we used daidai (a bitter orange). Cooking directions: att. Recipe Place the llets skin-side down on a tray that has been sprinkled with salt and then salt the llets. Generously sprinkle salt on the thicker part of each llet. For even coverage, sprinkle the salt from about 30 cm above the fillets. Place the llets on a wire rack and refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Lightly rinse the kelp in water and pat dry. Wipe any excess moisture o the llets, cover each llet with a piece of kelp, seal with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours. If a wire rack is not available, use cooking paper. Remove the kelp and slice the llets into 5-6 mm-thick pieces. Serve with wasabi, sauce, and your choice of garnishes. Konbu-curing is the Japanese cooking style of wrapping sashimi with kelp to absorb the moisture, which firms up the fish and also helps it to keep longer. It also adds the savory flavor of the kelp to the sashimi. This dish goes better with this sauce than soy sauce. The fish itself has a different flavor from sashimi. I can easily make this and that is also good. It can be used with Western dishes, much like carpaccio. Tips: When slicing the llet to make the sashimi, use the sogi-giri technique; that is, thinly slice each llet at an angle. Instructor: Kazuko Karasawa I learned cooking from my parents, who ran a Japanese restaurant, and my grandmother, who lived to be 100 years old. As a housewife, I've been cooking for 18 years. I like cooking everyday, taking care of my family's health. Student: Laetitia Ogawa I was born in France and grew up there. I married a Japanese man. Because Japanese food is good for the health and my son and husband both like it very much, I want to master Japanese recipes.

Buses are generally more economic than traveling by plane or train but do take longer and can be affected by traffic jams at busy times of the day or night. Local buses run all over Japan as well as in the major cities and sometimes English instructions or stop announcements are used but this is not the case everywhere. We would recommend you ask drivers to remind you of where you must disembark prior to setting off. JR In big cities, such as Tokyo and Osaka, the under and over ground train system is well organized and highly efficient accessing any and all parts of the cities. To avoid wasting time lining up for tickets and working out how to use the machines in different stations, it is highly recommended to purchase pre-paid cards. Tourist Information Transportation cards/useful tickets If planning to stay in Japan for a longer period why not try using IC cards? (500 yen deposit returned when returning the card) Simply touch the card on a rectangular pad beside the ticket gate and the fare used is automatically deducted from the value of the card. In Tokyo the cards are known as Suica or PASMO and are accepted on JR lines, subways and most other railways and buses.

Re: West Marine no longer matching prices...
Yes, due to the number of WM stores, convience is a key factor as to customers using the store especially if time is an issue. But in general WM prices can be considerably more, as much as 20% more on some items that I have found and I believe WM uses this, the convience, for keeping their prices high. Before, whenever possible, I compare prices and use it to my advantage at WM when time was an issue. I believe it simply boils down to WM's profit margins. As long as the consumer is willing to dish out more money due to convience WM will continue to keep their prices high. I will continue to shop around to find the best price and give myself enough time to order and receive before starting the project.

Jennifer Aniston deserves a vacation. I believe she's made twenty movies in the past two years, or something like that. It's been a lot, nobody sees most of them so it's hard to remember the entire list. But, she's tired. And she needs some R&R. So why not slip off to Mexico for a little suntanning with her fiance slash boyfriend slash placeholder until her next co-star romance.
And slip off Jennifer has. Her clothes mostly, down to another bikini for today's poolside adventures. I'm a big Jennifer Aniston ogling fan so I'm even willing to look past the fact she's wearing my grandma's glasses and just focus on what it might be like to be Jen's next co-star fling. Six months of making the sexy followed some long talk about how she's still not over Brad and may never be. Free scrumping time always has to come to an end, it's best if the lady calls it off, I say in my extremely unlimited experience. Enjoy.

The art of love songs and breakup songs for Valentine's Day
Categories: Gimme Noise
David Campbell of 89.3 The Current
The Breakup Song: "You Fucked Up" by Ween
CP: People tend to gravitate towards weepier stuff after a breakup. This Ween track is nice and vitriolic. Did you gravitate towards these kind of kiss-off tracks growing up when you were on the romantic mend?
David Campbell: No way, man. That's when I listened to OMD and that kind of stuff when I was younger. But I remember hearing this song from a Ween record, and that's what I kind of like about it. It's something that I would never do or say. It's totally wrong. It's like the worst behavior ever. It's unreasonable. It's pure vitriol and probably unwarranted vitriol. But that's what's appealing about Ween. They do the things that I could never do. They the stuff that I would never say and probably wouldn't ever want to say. There's a line in there, something like "You fucking nazi whore." You also never know whether or not to take Ween seriously either. It's always hard to tell if they're joking or if they're being serious.
CP: That sincerity issue is always a dilemma with Ween. Would you ever feel comfortable putting a Ween track on a mixtape? I feel like there's a lot of room for misinterpretation here.
DC: I would put Ween songs on a mixtape, but not those kind of Ween songs. I'd go with their softer, psychedelic stuff. If I were to use that one, it would be for a friend who's having problems standing up for themselves a little bit. You know, like when the relationship fails people can beat themselves up and say, "I did this. I did that." Sometimes you just want your friends to have a little bit more of a spine. And that's when a song like that helps a bit. It gives people a kick in the pants.
CP: Your annual Valentine's Day show with Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles is also touting a mixtape theme this year. Is "I'm gonna make you a mixtape" an old fashioned sentence yet?
DC: I still do mine on cassette, and I love doing it. You put it all together on paper as you come up with ideas. With CD-Rs, you can just assemble it in iTunes and gauge how it's going to sound pretty easily. You know your timing exactly. But there's a certain amount of guess work to doing them on cassette. What if you run out of tape four seconds before the last song? It's collage art. It's been a while since I started dating someone, but the words, "Let me make you a mix" would still come out of my mouth in this day and age.
Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles are in Big Trouble again; The All-Time Greatest Valentine's Day Mix. All Ages, $14-$16, 7 p.m., Thursday, February 14 at Cedar Cultural Center. Click here.

OnlyMyEmail Receives Highest Score Ever in the Virus Bulletin Spam Challenge
For the fourth time in a row, OnlyMyEmail's MX-Defender stopped more spam than any of the other 19 competitors, missing only 2 spam messages out of 72,008 for a record spam filtering capture rate of 99.9972%.
Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) May 11, 2011
The results from OnlyMyEmail's fourth participation in the Virus Bulletin VBSpam Challenge have been released.
For the fourth time in a row, OnlyMyEmail's MX-Defender stopped more spam than any of the other 19 competitors, missing only 2 spam messages out of 72,008 for a record spam filtering capture rate of 99.9972%. This phenomenal capture rate, combined with zero false-positives, earned OnlyMyEmail's MX-Defender the highest score ever awarded since the Virus Bulletin Spam Challenge began testing two years ago.
By comparison, the next best capture rate was Libra Esva which missed 40 spam messages, representing a false-negative rate of over 2,000% worse than OnlyMyEmail's MX-Defender. The average "false-negative" rate among the other 18 filtering systems was a whopping 352 missed spam messages and the median was 169.
The results from Virus Bulletin's VBSpam Challenge once again independently proves that OnlyMyEmail's MX-Defender is decisively superior to any other spam defense available today, including not only Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions but also hardware and software solutions as well.
In all, OnlyMyEmail accurately stopped far more spam than all of these other competing solutions: Anubis, BitDefender, Eleven, FortiMail, GFI Mail Essentials, Halon Mail Security, Kaspersky, Libra Esva, McAfee Email Gateway, McAfee EWS, Sophos, SPAMfighter, SpamTitan, Symantec Messaging Gateway, The Email Laundry, Vade Retro, Vamsoft ORF, and Spamhaus.
OnlyMyEmail, Inc provides Software as a Service (SaaS) hosted spam filtering as well as offering business class email hosting services.

Day 12
... we were up here i said goodbye to the three local dogs. We'd nicknamed one Smiley dog as it appeared to constantly be grinning, and when you gave it a fuss it'd get so excited it would wet itself.
Having skipped breakfast in place of coffee, we returned to Afros in Acharavi. We had a massive brunch of seafood: calamari, whitebait, tuna fritters etc. and then said our farewells to Costas and Chris. I'm sure we will see them again.
After fare-welling ...
Day 11
... was only silence. We wouldn't be going round for dinner any time soon.
My parents went out to IKEA to look at white ware so I decided to stay home and look into Istanbul. *************.
Later that afternon we checked in on the house. The tiles downstairs have been laid and the place is really starting to come together. I'm jealous that by the time my sisters visits in July it will probably be finished.
We left ...
Day 10
... flight to Istanbul on Thursday !
We decided to go and explore Corfu Castle, the older of two fortresses in the town. The fortress was huge, and had been in use for centuries. The British had built barracks here, and also a church in neo-classical style.We climed up to the light house on the top and looked out across Corfu town and the Mediterranean below. Sitting on the castle walls we watched ...
Day 9
The weather on this morning was the worst we've had so far. The sky was solid grey and threatening to break into rain at any moment. Reluctantly we left the apartment and searched for a caffeine breakfast. Its lucky we did, as today was Palm Sunday. In Corfu Town it is celebrated with a procession of marching bands. In better weather conditions they also take the mummified remains of St. Spiridon around the town. Today it was ...
Day 8
... again towards home. Fortunately, we didnt get lost this time.
At 9, after a restorative siesta, we set off towards a restaurant in the Jewish quarter. On the way we passed a lane of Tavernas packed out with locals. The restaurant we had wanted to visit was open, but entirely empty. Not liking the vibe, we doubled back to one of the tavernas we'd passed. This was a wise choice. Its name was unpronounceable and inside it was retro styled. ...
