In Photoshop CS6 for Photographers, author, photographer, and teacher Chris Orwig explores Photoshop from the perspective of the photographer.
The course details the features and techniques behind enhancing and retouching photos, preparing them for print and online publishing, and much more. Chris demonstrates how to make basic edits in Camera Raw, develop and save color profiles, work with layers and selections, tone and sharpen, and retouch images while retaining their natural character.
Chris also shares some creative tips and project ideas, such as converting a photo to black-and-white and enhancing a portrait with hand-painted masks. The course also covers workflow details, such as organizing images in Bridge and Mini Bridge, optimizing Photoshop preferences, and calibrating your monitor.
When it comes to learning Photoshop, you will hear people say that you need to select before you correct, and the better your selections, well, the better the corrections. So here we are going to focus in on a number of our different selection tools. We are going to start off in our Tools panel. We will start up at the top with the Marquee tools. If you click on this icon here and hold it down, you can see that there are two main tools. These tools are used really often when working with photographs. Those are Rectangular or Elliptical Marquee. Both of these work in similar ways, yet each of them allows us to select a different shape.
Let's start off with the Rectangular Marquee. Well, here we can go ahead and click and drag in order to create selections. You can see these little dots, these are called marching ants, and these signify the area which is selected. One of the things that you need to know how to do when working with selections is how to deselect. Let me show you the shortcut for that. If you go to the Select menu, you'll notice there's an option for deselect and here's that shortcut. On a Mac it's Command+D, Windows that's Ctrl+D. Let's go ahead and press that shortcut in order to deselect.
Next, let's look at our Elliptical Marquee tool. This one allows us to create selections which are in the shape of an ellipse. Here, you can see you can click and drag this out. And what both of these tools, well, they are anchored where we first started off. Now sometimes that's a little bit awkward, because we don't really know where to click, like let's say I want to select the watch. Well, what you can do is press the Spacebar key while holding down your mouse button. That allows you to lift up the selection, put it in a new spot, and then let go of the Spacebar key, and then you can resize that selection area.
Another important part about making selections is the Selection edge. By default, it's a hard edge. There is no feather. We can navigate to or Edit pulldown menu, then we can choose Fill. Here, I am going to go ahead and fill the selection with white. Let's click OK. Next, let's deselect. We can do so by going to the menu or by simply using our shortcut key Command+D or Ctrl+D. Well, here with this selection, you can see that really nice hard edge.
Well, we can soften that by clicking on our Selection tool and dragging to increase this. Let's go up to say 15 points or so. Next, we will click and drag an extension and do the same thing as before, Edit, and then choose Fill. Here, I will go ahead and fill once again with white and then click OK. Then I will deselect, Command+D or Ctrl+D. Now when I do that, you can see that this selected area, well, it's much more diffused. The edge is much softer, and it kind of blends back into the picture.
I need to remove both of these little things that I've done here. To do so, press Command+Option on a Mac, Ctrl+Alt on Windows, and then tap the Z key in order to step backwards. Well, let's say that what we want to do with this image is we want to select the center area of this camera. We are going to do so with our Elliptical Marquee tool, and I want to change the contrast and color saturation. I want to learn how to use one of these tools. We will go and click on it in the Tools panel, and then let's take our Feather down maybe just a couple of pixels here, 2 or 3 or so will work well.
Go ahead and click near the area that you want to select. If you don't get it right, press the Spacebar key to reposition that and then click to resize your selection. And then keep pressing the Spacebar and keep resizing until you have a nice selection of the lens. Now, once we've made that selection, we can modify it in some really powerful ways. So far we've looked at how we could fill with a selection with the color. Well, let's say we actually want to modify our picture, that area of our picture. To do that, let's go to our Image pulldown menu and then go to Adjustments and just choose this very top adjustment, Brightness/Contrast.
Here, just to this area, I will go ahead and increase the brightness and also increase the contrast. Well, now this matches a little bit better with the background. It has that interesting color palette and nice contrast. Let's go ahead and click OK in order to apply this and then deselect. Go to Select and choose Deselect or use that shortcut. And here, you can see we've now modified this photograph in a really helpful way. We were able to create a selection which allowed us to apply adjustment just to the lens.
Without that selection, it would have modified everything, and that just wouldn't have worked. So selections, as you can see, they can help us out immensely. So let's take a look at how we can work with other selections as well, because what we need to know how to do is not just how to use these tools, but also how to modify them a little bit. And let's do that in the next few movies.

Traditional northern Italian dessert
Panna Cotta, Italian for cooked cream, is a traditional dessert from Piedmont, Italy, involving the warming of heavy cream, sugar, gelatine, and your choice of flavourings, until the gelatine has melted.
The mixture is then chilled until set, then served with a complementary garnish such as forest fruits or chocolate sauce.
The texture of the resulting dish is similar to blancmange or egg custard - creamy, wobbly, and jelly-like.
While you can let your imagination run free as to how you flavour your panna cotta and what you serve it with, the richness of the cream is very well suited to sharper accompanying flavours such as coffee or berries.

Exploring the intersection of Catholic Thought and Law.
The Terrence J. Murphy Institute for Catholic Thought, Law and Public Policy is a collaboration between the Center for Catholic Studies and the School of Law at the University of St. Thomas. The institute explores the various interactions between law and Catholic thought on topics ranging from workers' rights to criminal law to marriage and family.
The institute draws from the resources of both programs, other academic disciplines and other faith traditions. The institute's examination of law also is driven by a "vision of the human person and the world that is enlightened by the Gospel" (Pope John Paul II, Ex Corde Ecclesiae).
To help provide connections between law and Catholic thought, the institute develops curricular resources, facilitates scholarship and scholarly discussions, and engages and serves the church and community through public events and public policy analysis.
The institute's activities focus on four areas:
- Facilitating scholarship and scholarly discussions concerning law and the Catholic intellectual tradition;
- Engaging and serving the community through public events;
- Developing curricular resources for relating law and the Catholic tradition in the classroom;
- Providing nonpartisan public policy analysis rooted in the Catholic tradition.
Statue of St. Thomas More
In the 16th century, St. Thomas More gave up his political position as the second most powerful person in the English realm rather than concede to Henry VIIIs demand for an oath to supremacy of the crown. In 2000, Pope John Paul II declared More the, "heavenly patron of statesmen and politicans."
Designed by Leo Irrera and carved from Carrara marble, the life size statue of St. Thomas More was commissioned by the University of St. Thomas School of Law and sits outside the Frey Moot Courtroom.

QPR Mini-Grants
For Community Capacity Building
(For counties, tribes, parishes, community non-profit or governmental organizations dedicated to preventing suicide at the local level)
To date, more than one million Americans have been trained in the QPR Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention program. QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is an evidence-based, SPRC/AFSP registered "best practice" program taught in classrooms by more than 5,000 Certified Instructors throughout the US and abroad.
However, using e-learning technology and any broadband connection, QPR training online now meets the requirements for a safe and effective public health intervention by answering "yes" to the following four questions:
- Is it available?
- Is it affordable?
- Is it accessible?
- Is it adequate?
Grant offer
With a "yes" answer to these four questions, and to extend and enhance this public health intervention effort, the QPR Institute is offering suicide prevention leadership organizations one-time, one-year grants of online QPR Gatekeeper training licenses to accomplish the following three goals:
- Goal 1: Build community capacity to prevent suicide by strengthening community connectedness through gatekeeper training designed to detect and treat at-risk persons before a suicide attempt or completion occurs.
- Goal 2: Reduce the frequency and base rates of suicide attempts and completions in communities experiencing increasing and high rates of suicide events (attempts and fatalities).
- Goal 3: Establish sustainable suicide prevention programming and staff infrastructure at the community level through a public-private partnership.
Advanced training for key gatekeepers (police, corrections, EMS, nurses, mental health, and healthcare providers) can be added to enhance community competence at all points of contact with persons at elevated risk of suicidal behaviors.

The Fairest
READ: Revelation 5:8-14
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain! Revelation 5:12
When I first became a Christian and started attending church at age 19, I immediately fell in love with singing the great hymns of the faith. My heart overflowed with joy and thanksgiving as we sang of Gods love for us in Christ. Soon one of my favorite hymns (from the late 1600s) became Fairest Lord Jesus! I love the simplicity of the melody and the awesomeness of the One exalted in these words:
Fair is the sunshine,
fairer still the moonlight,
and all the twinkling starry host: Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer than all the angels heaven can boast.
Beautiful Savior!
Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
now and forevermore be Thine!
Gods Son, whom we sing about in this song, came to this earth, lived a perfect life, and gave Himself for us on the cross (Luke 23:33). He arose from the grave (Luke 24:6) and is now seated at Gods right hand (Heb. 1:3). One day well join in worship with thousands upon thousands and say: Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever! (Rev. 5:13). Maybe well sing Fairest Lord Jesus! too.
Until then, lets allow Jesus to be the fairest above all in our personal lives by seeking wisdom from His Word and following in His ways. Anne Cetas
We can never praise Jesus too much.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"
Colossians 3:23

Kim Jong Un Inspects KPA Unit 1501
|Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, inspected KPA Unit 1501 on Sunday.
He was greatly satisfied with the big successes made by the unit in the efforts to implement the on-the-spot instructions of great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
He watched latest combat and technical equipment contrived and manufactured by the unit by its own efforts.
Being briefed on the performance of the equipment and their use, he was greatly pleased that the unit manufactured latest equipment badly needed for combat preparations by pooling wisdom and enthusiasm.
After receiving an explanation about the equipment from the commander of the unit, Kim Jong Un examined them for a long while, saying with a broad smile that they look nice and they are successful products, a result of profound inquiry.
He noted the latest equipment were manufactured in such a way to be convenient for using during battles and they looked efficient as they are fully ready to go into action and make a charge towards enemy positions, hitting targets, he said.
He said what pleased him most was that the latest combat and technical equipment developed by the unit ensured very high mobility in combat circumstances and they became intellectual and lighter.

The current parking meters in the village of Herkimer could be replaced with multi-space parking machines if the village board moves ahead with a plan presented at a meeting Tuesday.
Gregory F. Frary, of Ber-National Controls, Inc., of Syracuse, and Justine Godderis, of Digital Payment Technologies, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, were on hand to propose a new system they said would be more efficient and bring in more revenue for the village.
Frary said instead of having a meter for each parking space, multi-space meters would be placed on each street. The motorist could insert coins or use a credit card to pay for parking.
Under a pay and display system, the motorist would receive a receipt which he or she would display on the windshield of his or her car.
Godderis said there could be a transition as machines could be modified to be used as a pay by space system or a pay by license plate system where the motorist enters the license plate of his vehicle into the machine rather than displaying a receipt.
Frary said he visited the village on Feb. 7 to look at the current parking meter system.
"I didn't see the hours posted anywhere," he said.
Village Trustee Anthony Brindisi said the hours were posted on the meters themselves and at the entrances to the village.
Trustee Katherine Nichols said the meters are in effect from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Frary said he was on Albany Street at 9:44 a.m. and checked the meters to find about half of the people who had parked in metered spaces had not put money in the meters. He added no matter what kind of parking meter system the village has, it will not be effective unless it is enforced.
Frary suggested the multi-space parking machines be installed in a top priority area first and the old meters from those areas be moved to replace missing or broken parking meters. The priority one area could be West Albany, Mary, Court and North Washington streets. He recommended 14 machines be installed to cover this area so motorists would not have to walk a long distance or cross the street to use the machines. Later, new machines could be installed on North and South Main streets, Park Avenue and Green Street.
Among the advantages of the new system would be that motorists could not "piggy-back" by parking at a meter with time left on it, Frary said. Also, parking would not be limited by the current number of spaces which are sized to fit larger vehicles. Eliminating the present parking meter poles would make it easier to clear the sidewalks of snow, he added.
The machines could be paid for with a lease to own plan, said Frary.
Page 2 of 2 - He said the village could expect to bring in an additional 30 percent in revenue under the new system. "That's a conservative estimate," he said.
Frary said he was told the village had been collecting about $2,000 to $2,500 each week from the meters prior to a vandalism incident in January 2010 that destroyed some 43 meters.
"Now you're getting $2,000 every three weeks," he said.
Frary also recommended the village consider increasing its parking rates from the current 25 cents an hour. He handed out a list of parking rates for various cities ranging from 50 cents an hour in Skaneateles, Auburn and Binghamton to $1.25 an hour in Albany and Syracuse while in New York City the cost for parking in commercial zones is $2.50 an hour.
"Those are cities, this is a village," Nichols pointed out. "We did a business survey and increasing the cost from 25 cents would be a hard sell."
"Statistics show that if people want to come to your downtown, they're going to come," said Frary.
Mayor Mark Ainsworth asked if the number of streets in the first priority area could be reduced.
Frary said he did not expect the board to act on his initial proposal.
Board members also wanted more information on maintenance fees.

Author Doris Kearns Goodwin talks her book The Bully Pulpit & Jennifer Luther discusses The Rape Culture of Sports
Mary Glenney
From A Woman's Point of View | Listen to this entire show:
Tags: Bully Pulpit, DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN, JENNIFER LUTHER
This week on A Woman's Point of View the following topics were covered:
The Bully Pulpit
Laissez-faire capitalism, growing chasms between the haves and have-nots, a government being controlled by a small "cabal" in the Senate who felt that government either greased the skids for big money or got out of the way. Sounds like now? No, turn back to the last century and find out how Theodore Roosevelt as President used the "Bully Pulpit" to directly appeal to the people to "break up the trusts or they will break you." Either learn your history or you are condemned to repeat it! DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN discusses her latest book, "The Bully Pulpit" which covers the times of Theodore Roosevelt and Howard Taft and compares the conditions then to now.
FSU Seminoles in Title Game The Rape Culture of Sports
This is history that is repeating itself over and over. Star football player is accused of rape - not enough evidence for a conviction - so go no farther - win the Heisman and the Title Game. JENNIFER LUTHER (writer/journalist/activist) has studied and written extensively about rape culture and sports. Did anyone seriously think Jameis Winston would be charged?

It was a cool and breezy fall day Monday at the Bavarian Hills Golf Course, but for the Elk County Catholic Crusader golf team, the weather and everything else was just about perfect as the Crusaders edged the Ridgway Elkers 335-336 to claim the District 9 Class AA team title.
Elk Catholic's foursome consisted of Elliott Struble, Mitchell Struble, Drew Meyer, and Jess Jaynes. The D9 team title is the first for second-year Crusader head coach George Schneider.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch soccer team lost a tough 1-0 contest to the Ridgway Lady Elkers Monday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field.
The lone goal of the game came at the 30:34 mark of the first half when Ridgway's Abbie Lampman scored from the left side, giving Ridgway the eventual only goal of the contest.
Ridgway dominated play in the first half as they kept the ball in the St. Marys half of the field. The Lady Elkers had seven shots on goal to St. Marys' one. They also had seven corner kicks in the first 40 minutes of play.
Saturday marked the first day of autumn, and the cool and dreary morning was filled with intermittent periods of rain throughout an extremely physical girls' soccer match at the SMAHS soccer field between the St. Marys Area Lady Dutch and the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders. In the end, ECC was able to replicate their performance of a week ago in the Bucktail Tournament and again defeat the Lady Dutch by a 3-0 score.
STRATTANVILLE - The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch football team shut out the Clarion-Limestone Lions by a 35-0 score Friday night.
The Dutchmen scored on four of their first five possessions last night to build a 28-0 halftime lead.
The Dutch scored early in the third period to take a 35-0 lead and put the mercy rule into effect.
"This was a good rebound for us after last week's loss," said St. Marys coach Joe Schlimm. "We were up against an undermanned team and I feel for them."
The Elk County Catholic Crusader football team recorded a 28-6 homecoming victory over the Ridgway Elkers on Friday evening at Dutch Country Stadium in St. Marys.
The rain held off until just after the midpoint of the third quarter, allowing for dry weather for the Crusaders' homecoming festivities at halftime. Despite the change in the weather, both teams did a good job holding onto the ball and the rain seemed to have little impact on the game.
ECC coach Travis Skrzypek remarked that he was pleased with his squad's play throughout the game.
Elk County Catholic volleyball won 3-1 (25-22, 25-22, 14-25, 25-21) over Ridgway Thursday night at Ridgway Area High School.
Ridgway coach Janet Redmond said the Lady Elkers played well and played with determination.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch tennis team handed the Punxsutawney Lady Chucks a 5-4 loss Thursday afternoon at the SMAHS tennis courts.
At first singles, SMA's Amy Orr defeated Amber Ward 6-1, 6-0.
Aubrey Wiesner of SMA defeated Lauren Wolfe 6-1, 6-1 at second singles.
At third singles, Kylie Krise of Punxsy defeated Danielle McCoy 6-0, 6-0.
At fourth singles, Jaelene Burkett of Punxsy defeated Megan McCoy 6-0, 6-0.
At fifth singles, Punxsy's Laura Chelgren defeated Madison Squires, who was playing in her first singles match, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3).
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch soccer team picked up a 4-2 win over Port Allegany on Wednesday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field.
The St. Marys Area Dutch soccer team added another win to their season record on Tuesday afternoon, shutting out the Kane Wolves 4-0 at the SMAHS soccer field.
"I'm happy for the kids. We were able to score four goals, which was tied with our season high so far," said St. Marys Area coach Russ Micale. "They played a good, solid game the whole time. I'm proud of them."
The Dutchmen also scored four goals in their 4-3 road win over Smethport on Tuesday, Sept. 11.
Dalton Gennocro had two goals for St. Marys in Tuesday's contest, while Jarrod Lipsey and Tim Mosebarger each had one.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch volleyball team defeated the Johnsonburg Ramettes by a 3-1 score Tuesday night at the SMAHS Dutch Oven.
St. Marys won the first set by a 25-21 score. They took the second set by a 25-18 score. Johnsonburg won the third set by a 25-21 score. The Lady Dutch won the match by taking the fourth set by a 25-22 score.

Full text not available from this repository.
The integration of human computer interaction (HCI) concerns into industrial design practice of safety-critical interactive systems is discussed. In safety-critical applications, where poor designing can be lethal as failure have a safety implication, user centered design techniques are practically useful. It is important to identify requirements at the start of system development, which any design must satisfy to meet the safety level desired for that system. To be able to specify important safety requirements relating to user, usability evaluation activity must be undertaken from the start. The implementation of programmable user modeling (PUM) technique in safety engineering of a communication system is also discussed.

Study: Uninsured are costly for those with insurance
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
The average U.S. family and their employers paid an extra $1,017 in health care premiums last year to compensate for the uninsured, according to a study released today by an advocacy group for health care consumers.
Families USA, which supports expanded health care coverage, found that about 37 percent of health care costs for people without insurance â or a total of $42.7 billion â went unpaid last year. That cost eventually was shifted to the insured through higher premiums, according to the group.
Ron Pollock is the executive director with Families USA. He said last year, the uninsured received approximately $116 billion worth of health care; $42.7 billion of that he says was unpaid. Pollock says that causes insurance companies to increase their premiums to carry the additional costs.
Joining Pollock at his news conference today in Washington was Ron Williams, chairman of Aetna, the one of the biggest insurance companies in the country.
Lisa Grossman is the interim executive director of Florida CHAIN. She said that all of Floridaâs families â both insured and uninsured â need genuine health care reform. She said eliminating the "hidden health tax" is part of that reform.
Aetnaâs Ron Williams says health care costs are generally 3 to 4 times the underlying rate of inflation.
As Congress will work this summer on a mandate from the president to reform health care, the question advocates of a single payer system ask is if there will be at least some sort of public aspect of the plan.
Larry Gage is president of the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems, which represents just 2 percent of the nationâs hospital beds in the country but 20 percent of the uncompensated hospital care. He said his group is neutral on the subject.
Families USA contracted with Milliman Inc., an independent actuarial consulting firm, to analyze the data for the report.comments powered by Disqus

Last Year's Jam
Wednesday, May 01, 2013
I'm not a super-preserver or anything, but by this point, I've established a regular seasonal pattern of jam-making: sour cherry at the beginning of summer, plum at the end of summer, and quince in the late fall. While I've also finally achieved a decent amount of cabinet space in my kitchen, it's not unlimited, which means right around now I start thinking about clearing out some space to prepare for the cycle to begin again.
I used some of the plum as a cake filling a couple of weeks ago, and this week I rolled a jar of the quince into some buttery, flaky rugelach. (The sour cherry, alas, never seems to make it past a few months, because I love it too much.) You can use whichever jar is pushing its way to the front of your pantry, or whatever looks good at the market this weekend.
Walnut-Quince Rugelach
(Adapted from Rugelach, Alice Medrich's Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy, 2010)
Makes 48 cookies
For the pastry:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 16 cubes
8 tablespoons (1 8-ounce block) cold cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
To assemble:
1 cup jam needing to be used up, in this case quince
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
Fine sea salt for sprinkling
Combine the flour, sugar and salt for the pastry in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix briefly to blend the dry ingredients, then add the butter and mix on low until mostly broken up and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the cream cheese just until a damp, shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a clean countertop and knead briefly to create a mostly cohesive block. Divide into four equal parts and pat into 4-inch disks, tightly wrapping each individually. Refrigerate at least two hours and preferably overnight.
When ready to bake, line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners and preheat the oven to 350 F.
Roll one disk of pastry between sheets of parchment paper to a diameter of 12 inches and a thickness of about a quarter inch. Spread the pastry with a quarter of the jam, and evenly coat with a quarter of the walnuts and a small pinch of salt. Using a pizza cutter or sharp chef's knife, slice the pastry into 12 approximately equal wedges. Starting with the outside edge, roll each wedge toward the point and place, point-side down, on a lined cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining wedges, setting the cookies 2 inches apart. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to firm the cookies back up as you repeat the process with the remaining pastry disks, jam and walnuts.
Bake each sheet of cookies on the center rack for 25-28 minutes, until pale gold on top and a slightly darker golden brown at the edges, rotating the pans as necessary for even browning. Immediately transfer the baked cookies on their parchment to cooling racks and cool completely.
Cookies will keep well in airtight containers for up to 5 days.

Life Hands You A Dwarf Lemon Tree
Friday, February 08, 2013
It may seem strange to see a blog on local food in and around Philadelphia, PA include a post on lemons, but I can assure you that these lemons were grown right here in Philadelphia. More specifically, I can assure you that they were grown in my house in Queen Village. We've had a dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree for several years, and we've gotten impressive (if intermittent) fruit. Nonetheless, last Sunday I picked four lemons.
Of course, I was then left with a quandary of what to do with them. These lemons were far too special (organic! Meyer Lemons! grown in my house!) to just use for their juice or zest. So, I decided to preserve them according to River Cottage Preserves. It's a basic recipe: salt, lemon juice, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. You sterilize a wide-mouth jar, add all of the ingredients, and then wait four weeks for the rinds to soften. It is probably the easiest preserve recipe I have ever tried.
And the results? I'll let you know in another three weeks, but I generally prefer them diced as a condiment to fish.

How To: Cleaning Black Walnuts
Monday, November 07, 2011
My wedding anniversary came to pass a few weeks ago, and my husband, as usual, gave me a gift. No, not jewelry or flowers—a box of foraged black walnuts.
True, it's an odd gift, but certainly not one I'll ever turn away. My husband collected the walnuts from a tree near where he works, and they've been resting on our back porch ever since. What have I been waiting for? Well, the outer hulls need to soften up. You'll know it's time get rid of the hull when you can easily dent it with your thumbnail. Any harder, and you won't be able to cut into the hull with any degree of success.
If you've never attempted to de-hull black walnuts, be forewarned: it can get messy. The flesh inside the husk can permanently dye everything in its path dark brown, so pick up a pair of protective gloves—latex is good. Some people recommend gloves that are rated to withstand solvents. It's not a terrible idea, but not entirely necessary…as long as the gloves are strong.
Okay, so you've got your gloves. You also need a sharp knife, a bucket of water, a trash bag, and a bunch of newspapers over which to work. Slice into the hull with your knife, but don't press in too hard. It's not that you're going to damage the walnut shell—but the shell is so hard, it'll dull your knife. Drag your blade around the hull of the walnut until you've got a solid slice around the equator. Another word of warning: you may see maggots (husk fly maggots, to be exact). They're gross, but it doesn't mean the inner nut is bad.
Twist the two hull halves apart, drop the hull in the trash, and the nut in the water. Repeat until you're all finished up. And yes, it's best to toss the hulls in the trash instead of adding them to your compost heap because there are compounds in black walnut hulls that are toxic to plants. Granted, if you hunt on the internet hard enough, there are ways to use the hulls—making ink, herbal hair dye, etc.
When you've got a bucket full of walnuts, stir the water with a stick. I don't just mean a leisurely stir, either—agitate the crap out of the water and nuts because you're trying to encourage the remaining bits of hull to fall off. Drain the water (remember: walnut hulls are toxic to plants, so don't pour the water directly onto your prized peonies—it can also kill off earthworms) and fill up the bucket with clean water. You may need to repeat the process up to four times to get clean walnut shells.
At this point, spread the walnuts out in a box or on a screen and allow them to air dry for a few hours in the sun. Having an overcast day? No worries—put the walnuts on a cookie sheet and place them in an unlit gas oven for 24 to 48 hours for drying. If you don't have a gas oven, you can try drying them in your oven after you've baked something: the oven needs to be at around 100 degrees.
But you're not done yet! Gather the dried walnuts into a mesh bag and hang on your back patio or some other ventilated indoor area for a period of 4 to 6 weeks. This is technically described as the curing period. Don't attempt to shell them until you can shake a nut and hear the meat rattle within.
So you wait it out, and your walnuts are finally ready—this is where the hard part begins. Ever tried to crack a black walnut? It's really tough—the process and the shell. I've heard of people running over black walnuts with a car to help crack the shells. I personally have attempted to de-shell them by banging the crap out of a walnut shell with a hammer. Probably the easiest way to crack black walnuts, though, is with a vise: place the nut end-to-end in the vise. Place a container under the nut. Crank the vise until the nut just cracks. Some people recommend soaking the nuts in water again for an hour or two before you undertake cracking—it allegedly cuts down on the amount of flying shell debris. When you're finished with the cracking, turn your attention to the bowl of nuts. It's unlikely you'll get many whole pieces of walnut freed from the shell during this process. Yes, you can use a pick to pry the meat out, but if you would rather have whole meats you'll need some kind of cutter to remove more of the shell. I've read that some people use wire cutters.
Use the nuts within the next few months—there is quite a bit of oil in the nuts, so they can go bad. If you wish to store them long term, you'll need to freeze the nutmeats.
Yeah, it's a lot of work. Why would anyone bother? Well, a few reasons, really. First and foremost, black walnuts taste better than regular walnuts. But also, they're really nutritious—chock full omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for our brains.
Aside from eating them out of hand, there are some really interesting things you can do with black walnuts. I love this recipe for acorn squash lasagna with black walnut cream—you can make it almost entirely out of locally grown ingredients. Other options: banana-black walnut cake with caramel frosting, black walnut ice cream, black walnut shortbread cookies, black walnut pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread, black walnut brittle, pork tenderloin with black walnut mole sauce, pickled walnuts, shiitake and black walnut tartare, and black walnut stuffing with figs and bacon.

Drying Fresh Herbs
Wednesday, September 15, 2010
Sadly, almost all of my herbs got eaten by squirrels, killed by the heat wave, poisoned by black walnuts, or crushed by construction materials. This past week I decided that instead of harvesting my own, I'd order some lemon balm from the Lancaster Farm Fresh CSA and still have plenty of winter tea. Lemon Balm can be dried like most herbs from your garden - easily. The fastest method is to lay the herbs on a cookie sheet and place them in your oven. Just a little heat - 100 degrees - can try the herbs in an hour or two, or if you have a gas oven with a pilot light you can leave them in there overnight and wake up to dried herbs in the morning. I usually remove leaves before drying, but with some tough leaves, like rosemary, it is easier to dry them on the stalk and then remove them later.
Some people prefer to hang their herbs by their stalks. These bunches, hanging over a kitchen sink, in front of a window, or in a dry attic look and smell lovely, though they can take a bit longer to dry. If left undisturbed, they may hang intact for months, but watch out - they can also get dusty!

Canning: Hot Cherry Peppers
Monday, August 30, 2010
It's no secret that I love hot pepper. And pickles. Pickled hot peppers? Yes, please. I bought some lovely hot cherry peppers on the side of the road in New Jersey, and then got a big bag in my CSA last week, so I decided to give them all the pickling treatment so that I can enjoy them with cheese, and all kinds of other things, later this winter. I've been using this recipe from Martha Stewart, and I have to say, it's just about perfect.

Canning: Pickled Carrots
Saturday, August 28, 2010
Carrots are just fine, but sometimes they feel a little boring to me. Pickled carrots to the rescue! They've got more kick than fresh, are easy to make (especially when you have a bag of baby carrots hanging around) and a delicious snack with hummus. You can make these pickles over night in the refrigerator, or can them, like I did above. I love them at picnics! I started with this recipe originally published in Gourmet magazine. I cut the sugar a bit, and used dried hot thai peppers for extra kick. Adjust the garlic, dill and hot peppers to your liking!

Canning: Jalepeno Salsa
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Often when I make salsa, I don't really use a recipe. I glance at a few in trusty canning cookbooks, and then just use what I have. The above salsa is about two parts tomatoes, one part fresh chopped jalepenos, one part diced red onions, a generous splash of cider vinegar, 3 chopped garlic cloves, a dash of salt, and the juice of half a lime. And let me tell you, it's kicking. I cooked it down on the stove for about 20 minutes just to reduce some of the water, and made two quick pint jars of salsa.

Canning: Gold Tomato Sauce
Wednesday, August 25, 2010
My CSA arrived on Monday, but on Tuesday I was leaving for Alaska for 10 days. What to do? Blanch and freeze the greens and can everything else. Much like Marissa from the local canning blog "Food in Jars," I enjoy small batch canning. It's an easy evening project and lets you use up all kinds of odds and ends before they pass their ripeness. This golden tomato sauce is based on a recipe I saw recently on 101 recipes, but I added just a few red cherry tomatoes, languishing on the counter, for a little variation.

DIY Sauerkraut
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Hello! My name is Erica and I'm excited to join the Farm to Philly team! I'm a community garden organizer and local food lover from West Philadelphia, check out my bio for more info on the gardens I tend in Philadelphia and Camden, NJ.
For my first post I decided to go with a tried-and-true recipe that I am constantly making in my kitchen; sauerkraut. Cabbage is a great winter staple, I get mine at Mariposa Food Co-op where they've recently been selling small cabbages that are perfect for a mini batch of kraut.
The first step is to assemble your equipment: a ceramic crock or (food-grade) plastic bucket and a dish that fits snugly into it. I found my crock at a second-hand store, but you can sometimes buy them at housewares stores. You'll also need a cutting board, a glass mason jar with lid, a knife, a dish cloth and a large bowl.
Your ingredients are one small cabbage, sea salt, and water. The amounts depend on the size of your crock, but I use one small head of cabbage, ½ cup of water, and 3 or 4 Tbs of salt in my ½ gallon crock.
Thinly shred the cabbage. I find that the best way to do this is to cut it in half and slice thinly from the cut side. When you've cut off a handful of cabbage, put it in the bowl and sprinkle it with salt. Keep doing this until you've shredded the entire cabbage, layering the cabbage and salt as you go. Put the cabbage in the crock and mash it down with your fist to get it tightly packed. Mix together one teaspoon of salt in a cup of water and pour it over the cabbage until the cabbage is submerged. Put the dish into the crock and put it down so the cabbage is under the salt water. Fill the mason jar with water and use it to weigh the plate down. Cover the entire thing with a dish cloth to keep away flies and dust, and place it in a dark corner of your kitchen.
Taste the sauerkraut daily to observe the fermentation process. When it has reached the perfect amount of "sourness," take it out of the crock and place it in a mason jar in the fridge. For me, it takes between 1.5 and 2.5 weeks in the winter to reach the perfect point (less time in the summer). To see the original recipe I used and more fermented food recipes, check out wildfermentation.com. Enjoy!

CSA Report: Blooming Glen Farm
Wednesday, September 16, 2009
(Click photo to read notes at flick'r regarding names/quantities of share.)
The Blooming Glen Farm farmers gifted us with green tomatoes, tomatillos, arugula and butternut squash this week. More potatoes, onions, peppers, garlic and greens were also waiting for us. The weather may be cooling down, but we still had fresh herbs to pick, and even managed to put together a wild flower bouquet.
I'm excited to make a batch of Nanny's (our farmer Tricia's grandmother) green tomato relish with those tomatoes. I've used this recipe for the last couple years and just love it. The quantities are to produce a big batch for canning (about 10 to 12 pint jars), so adjust as needed.
Nanny's Green Tomato Relish
Put through chopper (or chop by hand), and drain:
1 peck green tomatoes (roughly 20apple size)
6 large onions
6 green peppers
6 red peppers
Make syrup:
3/4 pint sugar
2 pints vinegar
1 T whole cloves, in cloth or tea ball
1 stick cinnamon
Boil about 20 minutes, until sugar is dissolved, remove cinnamon stick and cloves.
In a big pot, pour syrup over over relish and add:
1 T Salt
1 T celery seed
1 T mustard seed
Boil 15 minutes, then process in boiling water canner for 15 minutes.
It's always a treat to open a can of this sweet, crunchy and colorful relish in the dark days of winter!

I Can Can! Now What?
Sunday, July 26, 2009
Despite my recent success in canning, I realize that I am not content. I know how to can, but I don't know how it's going to taste. I've grasped the specific techniques of canning, so the food will not (or, at least, should not) spoil, but how will it taste months from now? Will I open a jar of pickled onions in December and smile – or grimace?
At this point, I've come to the conclusion that there isn't much to be done. First, I suspect that I am overreacting, and that everything I've canned will be "good" if not "fantastic." Second, this is the first time I've attempted to comprehensively preserve food for the winter, so I should allow some room for improvement. Thus, with the intention of noting (on this blog, no less), the results and with an eye to improving things next year, I look at this as "Canning: Phase One," mastering technique. Next year, it will be "Canning: Phase Two," enhancing flavor.
Having said that, I am not entirely content to simply "preserve." As we've canned, we've tried to appropriately flavor the fruits and vegetables, but that wasn't the main focus. With the following recipe, however, we were much more conscious of that. I suppose this makes sense: as you grasp the basics of technique, you turn your attention to the more subtle – and difficult – task of taste.
For these pickles, we made some changes to the original, and the results are as follows.
Canned Pickles
6 pint jars, rings, and lids
6 medium cucumbers
1 bunch of dill, separated into individual fronds
4 cloves garlic, sliced into slivers
5 cups water
2 1/2 cups white vinegar
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
dried chilies (optional)
1. Cut the cucumbers into spears. Be sure to cut them short enough to fit into the jars. (Once I trimmed the ends, I found that cutting the cucumbers in half, crosswise, created the appropriate length.)
Fill a large bowl with cold water and 2 teaspoons salt, stir to dissolve the salt, and add the cucumbers. Allow to sit for at least one hour.
2. In large stock pot or canning pot (We used a stockpot with the pasta insert), cover the jars, lids, and rings in cold water and slowly bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
3. Meanwhile, bring the water, 2 tablespoons of salt, peppercorns, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat.
4. First, drain the cucumbers. Then, set up your workspace: have the pot of sterilized jars, brine, tongs, funnel, dill fronds, cucumbers easily accessible. (We tend to clear the kitchen table and have everything set up right there, laying out newspaper on which we pack the hot, sterilized jars.)
5. Layer in the cucumbers, dill, garlic, and chilies (if desired) in each of the pint jars. Using the funnel, add the brine until within one half-inch of the top. Cover each jar with a sterilized lid, place the ring over the lid, tighten it, and then loosen it one quarter-turn. Place the jars back into the stock pot or canning pot and slowly bring the pot to a simmer for ten minutes.
6. Remove the jars from the water bath and allow to cool. Within an hour, you should hear the jars "pop" as they cool and seal. Once cooled, check the seal by removing the ring and lifting the jar a few inches by the lid. If the lid remains in place, the jar is sealed.

Canned At Last: Sour Cherries In Syrup
Tuesday, July 14, 2009
I don't know why it took me so long to can. Despite websites, books, and blogs, I still didn't have enough information. Despite the urging of friends, fellow CSA members, and writers here, I still didn't have enough confidence. Despite, even, a family tradition of canning whole, skinned tomatoes and tomato sauce (i.e., "gravy"), I still didn't have an urge to try it on my own. Yes, I did have an irrational fear of botulism, but, looking back, I think the real concern was drudgery. In my family, canning tomatoes required a dozen people, two stoves (plus a free-standing gas burner), innumerable bushels of tomatoes, and about twelve hours of your day (sometimes two). Of course, at our peak, we canned well over 1,000 quarts.
Recently, we were "burdened" (I use the term loosely) with three quarts of sour cherries. Even after we gorged on them and my wife made ice cream, we were still left with a quart. Having a bowl of lush, vibrantly red cherries staring at me and knowing that it would soon rot, I conquered my last reservations about canning.
I am exaggerating a little, as I had been reading the River Cottage Field Guide 2: Preserves. With straightforward explanations, beautiful pictures, interesting recipes, and an oddly-British nonchalance about the risk of food-born illness, it was a sufficient motivator on its own. Coupled with the cherries, I had no more excuse. One caveat: the guide uses the metric system measurements, so you will have to do your own conversions.
We preserved these cherries as a "bottled fruit:" we packed the cherries (still with their pits) in a light syrup (made by bringing honey and water to a boil) with some spices (whole cloves or cinnamon sticks) into sterilized jars, and then we put them in a water bath for 10 minutes. We allowed them to cool for twenty-four hours, all the while listening for the distinctive "pop" that means the jars have sealed. (Happily, they did.)
I was surprised at how simple the process was, and how little equipment we actually needed. We used a large stock pot with its pasta insert (filled with cold water), a saucier, a scale, a candy thermometer, and a pair of canning tongs designed for picking up scalding-hot jars. This last item may seem unnecessary, and I was certainly skeptical, but it was immensely useful for pulling jars out of boiling water. (We picked up our pair at a flea market for $5.) But that's all - no pressure cooker, no canning pot, and no need for additional storage.
This experience was so pleasant that we've also canned beets, onions, and fennel. We still have plans for chutney, bottled peaches, plum jam, apple jam, caramelized onions, and, of course, tomatoes. We won't be canning a 1,000 quarts anytime soon, though.

I picked up a bunch of rhubarb at the Lancaster County Farmer's Market in Devon (I don't really recommend it as it's not a producers only market and most of the veggies are shipped in from all over). For some reason no one at the Phoenixville Farmer's Market sells rhubarb, so I have to get my fix elsewhere.
I was just going to make pie, and jam, and some rhubarb sorbet from Simply Recipes, and maybe another pie - but then I saw this recipe for rhubarb syrup at Food in Jars, and this one for rhubarb chutney posted by Naomi, and this one for rhubarb mustard at Planet Green (although I know I saw it somewhere else as well, so apologies to whomever that was!) - and the next thing you know I spent much of the weekend canning!
From left to right in the picture: one row of rhubarb syrup (for canning I followed directions for canning fruit juice, and this is four batches of the recipe); two rows of rhubarb jam (with pectin); two rows of rhubarb sauce (no real recipe I just cooked 5 c of rhubarb with 1 cup water and 3/4 c of sugar, and canned as for apple sauce); one row of rhubarb chutney; and one of rhubarb mustard.
I also made a rhubarb-ginger galette. The sorbet and the next pie are on the menu for this week.
