->''"That day, the human race remembered: the terror of being dominated by '''them''', and the shame of being held captive in a birdcage."''
For more than a hundred years, the last remnants of humanity have lived in a kingdom surrounded by walls designed to protect them from a powerful race of man-eating giants known as Titans. The two races have locked one another into a stalemate: the Titans cannot breach the walls, and humanity cannot venture outside the walls without risking heavy losses.
Those facts held true until the day a colossal Titan smashed a hole in the perimeter wall of the southern village of Shiganshina, which allowed its smaller kin to wander inside and wreak havoc. Among those who escaped from the ensuing massacre were three children: Eren Yeager, an aggressive adolescent boy; Mikasa Ackerman, his quiet adoptive sister; and Armin Arlert, Eren's bookish best friend. Years later, the trio decide to join the Survey Corps, a military branch dedicated to making excursions into the outside world to fight the Titans, and research ways to defeat them once and for all -- and Eren, with vengeful and murderous intent in his heart, vows to kill every last Titan on Earth.
Despite the action-y sounding premise of ''Attack on Titan''[[note]]進撃の巨人, ''Shingeki no Kyojin'', lit. "Advancing Giants"[[/note]] (and it does contain a great deal of action), author Hajime Isayama also weaves a tight story around its [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters large cast of characters]] and the strange, apocalyptic world in which they live. ''Titan'' also revolves around the concept of failure: the human forces repeatedly struggle to accomplish anything, sacrifice numerous lives, and make major mistakes [[ShaggyDogStory to have it all come to naught in the end]]. But every so often, humanity's persistence, wits, and luck manages to pay off--and through their victories, a complex portrait of the world begins to form, one that reveals [[OntologicalMystery something more sinister to the weirder aspects of their world]]. ''Titan'' primarily explores the ways in which people deal with trauma, survival, loss, and death...as they fight man-eating giants. One can describe it as ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' without giant robots and with a lot less angst (plus a protagonist who's the exact opposite of a ShrinkingViolet).
From its relatively modest beginning, the manga managed to become the 11th-highest seller of all time in 2011. After the premiere of the anime adaptation (which became exceptionally popular in its own right), sales of the manga boosted exponentially, which has made ''Titan'' the most popular new anime/manga and surpassing many established franchises. The manga consistently sold in the top two every month and new volumes are being surpassed only by a certain [[Manga/OnePiece best selling manga of all time]] and still growing. The success of both anime and manga launched a franchise ranging from video games to light novels to fragrances and coffee mugs.
Plans arose for [[Film/AttackOnTitan a live-action film adaptation planned for a 2014 release]], and after a bout of CreativeDifferences [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-12-13/director-nakashima-leaves-live-action-attack-on-titan between the director and the screenwriter]] (amongst other issues), the film had a 2015 release in two parts. ''Manga/BloodyMonday'' star Haruma Miura plays the lead role of Eren, while model-turned-actress Kiko Mizuhara (Mikasa), Kanata Hongo (Armin), Satomi Ishihara (Hanji), Nanami Sakuraba (Sasha), and Takahiro Miura (Jean) round out the main cast. [[http://deadline.com/2017/01/attack-on-titan-u-s-movie-warner-bros-producer-david-heyman-1201888133 In early 2017]], it would be revealed that Creator/WarnerBrothers were in negotiations to create another adaptation, with one of the key producers behind ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' set to handle the project.
The anime adaptation of the series premiered on [[Main/Spring2013Anime the 5th of April 2013]]. YasukoKobayashi served as head screenwriter, [[Manga/DeathNote Tet]][[Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead surō]] [[Anime/GuiltyCrown Araki]] as director and later chief director for the second season, and Music/HiroyukiSawano composed the series' music.

Scientists of Plant Research International of Wageningen UR have identified the virus that causes great damage in tomato cultivation in Mexico where the disease is known as 'Marchitez', which means 'withered'.
The name of the new virus is tomato marchitez virus. The virus was found to be related to the tomato torrado virus, earlier discovered by Wageningen UR. Identification of the virus now makes it possible for breeding companies to develop cultivars with resistance to the virus.
Tomato marchitez virus is found to be closely related to the earlier discovered tomato torrado virus, which in for instance Spain, causes the damaging 'Torrado' disease in tomato. Both viruses are now classified into the new plant virus genus Torradovirus. Tomato marchitez virus causes leaf necrosis and serious damage to the fruits, resulting in a strong yield reduction. Whitefly is one of the vectors of the virus.
The intensive cooperation of Plant Research International and De Ruiter Seeds, vegetable seed company in Bergschenhoek, resulted in rapidly gaining insight into the causal agents of two important tomato diseases. The Plant Virology Group of Plant Research International investigated samples of tomato plants, originating from commercial farms in Mexico and Spain, which showed clear symptoms.
Virus particles that had not been described before were found in these samples. The viruses were then fully characterized and described as new species. It could be proven for both species that they were the causal agents of the disease symptoms found in Mexico and Spain. The research was financed by De Ruiter Seeds, the company which has meanwhile placed cultivars on the market with resistance against both viruses.
Full RNA sequences have been determined of tomato marchitez virus as well as tomato torrado virus and these have recently been published in Archives of Virology. It is remarkable that in a short period of time two new viruses have been found and described that can on the basis of their unique characteristics be ascribed to a new plant virus genus.

President Preckwinkle Lays Out Vision for Cook County Land Bank
at 2012 Reclaiming Vacant Properties Conference June 26, 2012
Speaking at a national conference on vacant property and land use, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle today announced her vision for a Cook County Land Bank, an entity that is granted specific powers with the purpose of returning vacant and abandoned property to productive use.
Preckwinkle told participants of the "2012 Reclaiming Vacant Properties Conference" hosted by the Center for Community Progress that the need to pursue a Land Bank policy in the absence of state legislation, contrary to the majority of Land Bank models across the country, has grown more urgent than ever as nearly 10% of housing units are now sitting vacant in Cook County and more than 85,000 foreclosure cases are currently pending. Preckwinkle said that despite budget constraints at all levels of government, the time has come to tackle the foreclosure epidemic head on.
View Video Clip
Under the blueprint laid out by President Preckwinkle, the Cook County Land Bank will be a tool of economic development designed to acquire, hold, and transfer property for reuse. The first step will be to create a Land Bank Authority. While Cook County is evaluating several potential models, it is intended that the Land Bank Authority will be a not-for-profit redevelopment authority established under the County's charter in partnership with the Bureau of Economic Development; the Land Bank Authority would be able to receive capital and acquire properties. Redevelopment entities and municipalities will target strategic, unproductive properties that they would like to acquire and redeploy through a redevelopment plan. The Land Bank Authority will then acquire the property through a number of potential mechanisms, including: transfer from government, transfer from a bank or a lending institution, direct purchase, or no cash bid at the scavenger sale.
Once the Land Bank Authority has acquired the property it is anticipated that the property will be held tax free for a pre-negotiated period of time, ideally one to four years. The properties obtained by the Land Bank Authority are, by design, properties in distressed areas and typically have a relatively low value at the time of sale. Land Banks are not designed to compete with private developers, but rather go to areas where many have yet to find value, while also deterring speculative interest that can cause further blight.
During the period of time the Land Bank Authority holds property, the Land Bank will manage the vacant and abandoned properties with the goal of making them more marketable and prepare them for transfer to responsible owners. Many land banks have the authority to abate delinquent taxes, clear title, remediate nuisances, and demolish dangerous buildings. This activity is expected to take properties that were once of little interest and blighting influences on their communities and make them more desirable for potential owners. Finally, the Land Bank will transfer the property to the redevelopment interests or municipality for reuse. Ultimately, the sale of targeted properties will help to capitalize a companion fund established to assist with financing the acquisitions and improvements.
"This is my vision for what the Cook County Land Bank can be, and I'm excited about the possibilities this can provide to the community and our neighbors in need of relief," said Preckwinkle. "We have to do more to stem the tide of the foreclosure crisis in Cook County so we are hopeful this will greatly aid our efforts."
While the scope of the Land Bank Authority will be Countywide, the President believes that the efforts of the Land Bank should begin through a pilot program in south suburban Cook County, facilitated by the South Suburban Mayor's and Manager's Association. This will allow for the County to adjust, alter and improve the process while the scope of the work is broadened to encompass the entire County.
The Land Bank and its companion fund will require start-up capital. Potential sources, Preckwinkle believes, include the foundation community, state and local grants potentially passed through the County, and federal CDBG funds.
President Preckwinkle's announcement comes on the heels of a resolution introduced before the Cook County Board by Preckwinkle and Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer that creates a Cook County Land Bank Advisory Committee tasked with studying the feasibility and structure of a Land Bank. If passed, the resolution requires the President to name members to the Advisory Committee within 60 days. The committee will then have 60 days to provide recommendations to the President and the Board of Commissioners on a model or models for a Cook County Land Bank.

This is my first post - I am new to Corel. I have been working hard trying to learn the software but can't figure out to auto seperate colors into different layers - I have been selecting each curve, text, etc. and moving them into their layer manually :-(
Any suggested books or dvds to help me master corel would be great too.
Colour separation is normally done using the print diaglgue, i.e. CMYK.
You need to have a Postscript driver installed.
If you are looking for selecting the same colour, I suggest Woxxom Tools from Macromonster.com.
Are you doing separations for a press?
If that is the case, I also suggest that you look for the PPD for the Imagesetter/CTP that will be used.
Monochrome bitmaps can be a problem also. Spot colors a disadvantage.
Be careful of RGB images and fills. That is the downfall of most commercial printers.
You give the impression that you have limited knowledge of colours. I suggest that you a search on the forums about this topic?
You should also describe what industry you are in, Vinyl, Clothing, Offset print, etc.
In reply to Adrian Juman:
Gary, as Adrian suggested, we need to know exactly what you need the color separations for.
I do color seps/artwork for screenprinters.
If that's what you want, the process is totally different than seps for printing brochures, manuals, etc.
Give us a starting point and I'm sure someone here will be able to help.
Hi Gary, When I upgraded from my old CD I wanted to be up and running quickly and have a reference so I purchased Corel Draw Unleashed X3. I believe there is now an X4 version. www.unleash.com You can purchase a down-loadable version and/or (I believe) a CD/DVD. It was worth every penny.
In reply to ColorYourWorld:
Sorry about that. I am a silk screener and need to separate colors into different layers for my screens.
Thanks for the responses.
In reply to Gary Coulier:
Could someone post what are the frequency's and angles that screen printers use for CYMK? TIA
Most screen printers I know are using the separations command in the dialog.
Gary Coulierneed to separate colors into different layers
Hi Gary, I don't think there is any such thing to separate colours onto layers, you can print to .ps file and import it back if you like in draw. If there is a commercial plugin for this thing than I don't know.
You could separate the colors used into separate layers but Corel Draw automatically separates for you and, provided your artwork does not contain a bitmap or a tone of a color (e.g. graident, transparency), you can print to film right from Corel Draw. Simply click Print Separations on the Separations Tab in the Print Dialog. If the artwork does contain a bit map or tone and you are not printing to a postscript printer, then you will need a RIP to translate those items into arrays of dots that can be captured when exposing a screen. - Scotty
Okay Gary, seps for screenprinting...............
Next BIG question, what kind of artwork are you dealing with?
Since you mentioned curves, I'm going to assume you have vector art, not rasters.
Let's start simple and see if this helps.
If you're new to all of this, again I'm guessing that what you really want is each color of your design printed on it's own page. So you have a page for black, a page for red, etc. No need for you to create layers.
Try this:
[1] Draw a circle or any shape.
[2] Type your name with the Artistic text tool.
If you're a beginner, again I'm guessing you only want to do is simple Spot color seps.
Now color your circle/shape with one of those Pantone colors.
Color the text with a different Pantone color.
From there go to Print/Separation Tab.
Check the box that says Print separations.
Listed below you should see the 2 colors that you used to create your sample.
If you see more than the 2 listed then you used more colors by accident. (Check the outlines...........newbies often forget to change the outline default color)
When you select Print Preview, Corel will automatically put each Pantone (Spot) color on a separate page (plate.)
This is a very simplified example, just to get you started.
Go back and add a few more elements to your art using either the same colors you already used or any other ones for that same Pantone Palette.
In all cases, as long as you stick with that Pantone palette, Corel will automatically separate (layer, as you say) them for you.
Hope this helps.
From this point on, things get more complicated especially if you want to add bitmaps and/or halftones to the mix.
First things first.
Thanks for your responce. I am sure this will put me right on track - sounds exactly what like what I am trying to do. I am a newbie obviously LOL. I did not change my outline default - not sure how or what to do with that - can you give me a tip on that as well. I am going to buy some books and software to help me learn, so I will not flood this forum with simple stuff for long.
Gary CoulierI did not change my outline default - not sure how or what to do with that - can you give me a tip on that as well.
With nothing selected, Right Click on whatever color or No Color (Box X'd on top of palette) in the Pantone palette you want default graphics to have. A window will come up asking you what you want this Outline to apply to. The same technique works for fills by using the Left Click on the default color or No Color (Box X'd on top of palette)
In reply to twodaytshirts:
Thanks everyone for the help. Wow, how much easier that makes printing my transparencies for my screens.

Robert Deluce is president and chief executive of Porter Airlines; Rafael Sánchez-Lozano is CEO of the Spanish airline Iberia.
Bay Street veteran Chyanne Fickes is vice-president of investments at Stone Asset Management; franchising expert Larry Carnell, of Marietta, Ga., delivers keynote addresses on the convention circuit with friends Suze Orman and Donald Trump; Brian Kelly leads campus recruiting for a large Wall Street investment bank and writes the popular blog, ThePointsGuy.com.
Don Jones, president of Exper!ence it, in Toronto, produces events for Fortune 500 companies; Allen J. Sheinman is managing editor of Meetings & Conventions magazine.
Alice Marshall founded New York- and Los Angeles-based travel PR firm Alice Marshall Public Relations; Zane Kerby, senior vice-president of the National Business Travel Association, organizes several conventions and meetings a year; Francis Liu is president of one of Canada's largest specialist China agencies, Wonder International Travel in Montreal.
Sure, it's expensive, and tricky to get in and out of through delay-prone JFK, La Guardia or Newark airports; but despite its foibles, and because of its fabulousness, New York gets the nod as best for business in 2011. Airline chiefs Robert Deluce and Rafael Sánchez-Lozano praise its international flair, investment expert Chyanne Fickes and Mr. Deluce extol the shopping, while event organizer Don Jones endorses the Manhattan-area IBM Palisades Executive Conference Center.
TRIP TIP: If there's no time for a show and sightseeing, combine them: "Experience: The Ride" is ferrying audiences around Manhattan to see actors perform on street corners, on a bus primped with stage lights and stadium seats ( experiencetheride.com).
The mile-high city is no longer a pit-stop en route to the slopes of Vail, says Zane Kerby, who has booked the NBTA's 40th annual convention there for 2011. Denver won him over for its central U.S. location and cheap flights into Denver International Airport, a hub for United Airlines and discounter Southwest Airlines. Most hotels, including a new Four Seasons, are within walking distance of the Colorado Convention Center. The Pepsi Center – nicknamed The Can – was the site of the 2008 National Democratic Convention.
TRIP TIP: Denver's travel taxes – a measure of accommodation, rental car and airport taxes – are some of the lowest in the U.S., according to an NBTA 2010 study Travel Taxes in the U.S: The Best and Worst Cities to Visit.
Sao Paolo is the trendy host of soccer's 2014 World Cup. And says business travel expert Zane Kerby, it's a "business-friendly" city with a booming economy and dense concentration of multinational firms' Latin American headquarters. Plenty of world-class events entertain visitors in this city of 11 million, from annual winter and summer fashion weeks showcasing skimpy bikinis to a carnival as sassy as Rio de Janeiro's ( www.embratur.gov.br/site/en/home/index.php).
TRIP TIP: A vast private helicopter fleet airlifts executives from the financial district's famed Paulista Avenue, past daily 200-plus-kilometre traffic jams. When the work is done, fly for a mini-trip to Unique Garden Spa and Resort, in Cantareira State Park, just outside the city ( uniquegarden.com.br).
Views of the Bosphorus from the infinity pool of Ciragan Palace Kempinski Istanbul – a hotel built in 1719 originally as an imperial palace – clinched Ms. Fickes's view of Istanbul as a "stupendous" place for meetings. Her group visited the Blue Mosque; the Basilica Cistern, a subterranean waterworks; and shopped the famous Grand Bazaar ( grandbazaaristanbul.org).
TRIP TIP: Build ample free time into events abroad. Too often, participants flown to an exotic destination can't enjoy it because "organizers feel pushed to use every second for an event," says Mr. Jones.
After checking out a client's Himalayan village walking experiences, Alice Marshall spent an "extremely moving" two nights at the Taj Mahal Palace, one of two hotels targeted in Mumbai's 2008 terror attacks. "They just had reopened the palace wing with a memorial to the victims," Ms. Marshall recalls. "Everything was so fresh but the memories lingered." The city, she recalls, was "glitzy and modern in the sweeping grand skyscrapers and Vashi Bridge, with a definite nod to the old" in well-preserved colonial buildings, such as the Victorian Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station ( www.maharashtratourism.gov.in/).
TRIP TIP: Hire a "good guide" to get the most out of a visit to Mumbai, says Ms. Marshall, who found hers through the concierge desk of the Taj Mahal Palace ( www.tajhotels.com/Palace/The%20Taj%20Mahal%20Palace,MUMBAI/default.htm).
After the announcement of a certain royal wedding, British flight-comparison website Skyscanner promptly reported triple-digit percentage surges in fare searches from U.S., Dutch and German cities to London. All that buzz is the reason, along with great shopping, that Ms. Fickes and Mr. Jones put London in their Top 10 – and it will only grow in popularity as the countdown begins for the 2012 summer Olympic Games.
TRIP TIP: Book now at The Savoy, which reopened after a $356-million
Brian Kelly, a.k.a. the Points Guy, picks Los Angeles for the revitalizing effect of a nearly complete, $2.5-billion (U.S.), public-private urban renewal project called L.A. Live, which has added hotels, movie theatres, restaurants (including a Phillippe Starck-designed Katsuya), museums and shopping next to the Staples Center, the L.A. Kings home ice. Also, two new hotels – the JW Marriott and a Ritz-Carlton – have opened within L.A. Live's 54-storey condo/hotel tower near the Conference Center. By sprucing up its downtown, Kelly believes L.A., which already lays claim to enviable weather and the world's sixth busiest airport, "stands to gain significant conference business" in 2011 ( www.lalive.com).
TRIP TIP: The four-floor GRAMMY Museum, including a new Songwriters Hall of Fame Gallery, is the gem of L.A. Live. Its Clive Davis Theatre and rooftop terrace may be booked for corporate events ( www.grammymuseum.org).
New Orleans has benefited from millions in infrastructure and hotel upgrades since Katrina, aided by at least two million "voluntourists" taking part in charitable rebuilding events (often tacked onto conventions, the city says). The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, where thousands sought shelter during the hurricane – and many died – has been beautifully restored. But there's still more to do, and magazine editor Allen J. Sheinman sees this as still a bargain destination: Along with cheap, tasty soul food, live jazz, and the inimitable French Quarter Festival in April, you get tourism officials willing to "cut some pretty good deals" to secure conventions.
TRIP TIP: Mr. Sheinman advises swapping Bourbon Street for less-touristy Frenchmen Street, where Blue Nile Nightclub ( bluenilelive.com) and Snug Harbor ( snugjazz.com/site) are the jazz hot spots.
Flush with billions in foreign investment in its factories, Shenzhen, self-proclaimed City of Ambition, is the southern Chinese engine of industrialization situated 45 minutes by ferry from Hong Kong. It's a top choice for 2011 for Mr. Sánchez-Lozano, since "it's supposed to be very exciting for business." It's also the host of the influential annual China Hi-Tech Fair.
TRIP TIP: China specialist Francis Liu advises staying at The Shangri-La Hotel ( shangri-la.com/en/property/shenzhen/shangrila); and for business dinners, a quality buffet in gilded surroundings at Four Seas International House.
Flooding last May left too many damaged buildings to count and nearly destroyed Nashville's signature Grand Ole Opry House. But the show goes on in the newly renovated Opry; while the city's Schermerhorn Symphony Center, drenched to the tune of $50-million (U.S.), reopened on New Year's Eve. Franchising expert Larry Carnell loves Music City, calling it well-situated and inexpensive (it's also Travel+Leisure's No. 1 pick for the U.S.'s most affordable city with best live music).
TRIP TIP: Though most downtown hotels, bars and restaurants were spared flood damage, Mr. Carnell recommends a stay at the historic Hemitage Hotel, Tennessee's only AAA Five Diamond and Mobil Five Star (thehermitagehotel.com). Don't miss a chance to dine at the Capitol Grille at the Hermitage ( www.capitolgrillenashville.com).

The Internet's Most Precarious Celebrities
Letting our guard down is the last thing we want to do when it comes to searching around on the Internet. Whether we're searching for entertainment like fashion or music, or something more serious like answers to health questions that we may have; it's always a crapshoot as to what we'll come across in our search results—especially if we don't take full advantage of safe-search settings like the one you'll find in Google.
Every year, McAfee makes this point even more clear with their Most Dangerous Celebrities list. What they do is compile a list of celebrities who, based on their research, are the most risky celebrities to search for online. This list includes everyone from actors to politicians to athletes.
The purpose of the list is to not only instill some awareness in the general public when it comes to playing it safe on search engines, but to show which celebrities are being used as conduits by cybercriminals to spread malware (malicious software). In essence, searching for a video, picture, or a news article about the latest and hottest celebrity could leave you with a malware-infested computer instead.
According to McAfee's security researcher, Dave Marcus, cybercriminals are getting smarter about the way they hide malicious content. On top of using websites to trigger involuntary downloads of this content, they're turning to the shortened URLs that you see in social networks like Twitter and Facebook. This makes it easier to post the link several times in a short period of time and to a lot people.
This year's results changed the number one riskiest celebrity from Jessica Biel to Cameron Diaz. McAfee discovered that searching for the latest Cameron Diaz media poses a ten percent chance of landing on a website that's full of online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, and viruses.
2010 Most Dangerous Celebrity List
1 Cameron Diaz – Searching for Diaz results in a one in ten chance of landing on a risky site. She has most recently been in the spotlight with blockbuster movies, "Knight and Day" and "Shrek Forever After." When "Cameron Diaz and screensavers" was searched, 19% of the sites were identified as containing malicious downloads.
2 Julia Roberts – Academy Award-winning actress Julia Roberts is one of America's sweethearts, and will soon be in the spotlight with her upcoming release of "Eat, Pray, Love." The overall risk of searching for Roberts is nine percent, yet searching for "Julia Roberts and downloads" results in a 20% chance of downloading a photo, wallpaper or other file laden with malware.
3 Jessica Biel – Last year's Most Dangerous Celebrity fell two spots with searches resulting in fewer risky sites this year. Biel continues to be in the spotlight with her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Timberlake, and appeared in "The A-Team" in June 2010. While her overall search risk is 9%, searching for "Jessica Biel and screensavers" results in a 17% chance of landing on a risky site.
4 Gisele Bündchen – The world's highest-paid supermodel moved up two spots since last year. Searching for "Gisele Bündchen and screensavers" can prove risky, 15% of the search results for this beauty can put spyware, malware or viruses on your computer.
5 Brad Pitt – Pitt is often in the spotlight with news of his movies and his personal life. It's no wonder why this leading man has been in the top ten for the past three years. He moved up in rank five spots this year. Downloading photos, screensavers, or other files of Brad can potentially put adware or spyware in your computer.
6 Adriana Lima – Searching for downloads of this Brazilian beauty can direct users to red-ranked sites. Lima is best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2000.
7 Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicole Kidman – Searching for these Hollywood starlets resulted in an equal number of risky download websites.
8 Tom Cruise – With recent buzz around his MTV Awards performance as well as his movie, "Knight and Day," Cruise rises to the top ten.
9 Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz – Both of these ladies are consistently in the spotlight, and share the #9 spot. Cybercriminals use their names to lure people to risky sites. Klum hosts "Project Runway" and Cruz has been in the spotlight recently for her role in the "Sex and the City 2" movie and is expected to be in the fourth film of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
10 Anna Paquin – This "True Blood" star is as dangerous on the web as she is on the screen. Searching for screensavers of Paquin can lead you to downloads filled with malware.
Parents, there are a few things you can do to protect your family from these cybercriminals:
1. Talk to your children.
a. Keep an open dialogue with them is the best way to know which websites they visit and who they're searching for online. Talk to them about this list and the consequences that can follow from searching these particular celebrities. Kids are fully capable of making the best decisions on the Internet; they just aren't as aware of the problem as they should be.
2. Check your browser's history.
a. If you don't already know how to, the process is pretty straightforward, just follow these steps. This helps you get an idea of what websites your child is going to, who they're searching for on search engines like Yahoo! or Google, and when they're doing it.
3. Set up Google Safe Search for them.
a. This is also really easy to do, and it can make all the difference in the world for you and your child.
b. What Safe Search does is filter out all of the crude or malicious content that they would otherwise encounter when the search engine is running on its default settings. This keeps them limited to sites that are safe to view, and at the same time, greatly decreasing the chances of malware attacks on your computer.

Barclays went short on EUR/JPY
Tactical investors should consider selling EUR/JPY this week, strategists at Barclays Capital advice. Barclays has already went short on the pair right ahead of the last week's ECB meeting.
"We recommend being short EUR/JPY with a target of 133.50. Despite the EUR's resilience around the ECB meeting, we believe the elements are now in place for a structural move lower in the currency, while the JPY is relatively close to finding a bottom versus USD," analysts explain.
"Technical strategy is also bearish EUR/JPY. Following a succession of downside breakouts, we are now looking for a close below 138.60, the 200-day average to signal that downside traction is taking hold. Our initial downside targets are toward 136.20. Beyond there would signal a deeper fall toward 133.50, the top of the monthly cloud," Barclays predicts.

Glendale, AZ
Article previously published in the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation's Forum Spring 2011 newsletter.
"Sit here" the nurse said as she pointed to a chair against the wall next to the laboratory sink. My daughter, who was with me, found another chair in the small room, sat down and tried to get comfortable. The nurse looked over my file, took my blood pressure and began to ask me routine questions, like "How are you doing?" She was kind, but I was ready to get on with why I was there.
I found myself nodding in response to the nurse as a matter of routine. I now knew all the answers to her questions. I had experience. Lately I had seen several doctors trying to find an answer for a series of health issues. I was now seeing a hematologist/oncologist because I had a high platelet count and, during the course of questioning, I mentioned: "Oh, by the way, I have this rash on my, well – my derriere!" Surprised at this, the doctor asked to see it. I shyly pulled down the corner of my pants to reveal a bright red, scaly patch and added: "Would you like to see another one that makes a matching pair?"
It was his intense look at my matching pair that made me sense that these two red patches I had always thought were eczema might not be eczema after all. He left the room and came back a few minutes later to say that he had made a call to a dermatologist who would be calling me to make an appointment for a biopsy. Within five minutes my phone rang. I was both delighted to know that I had found a really good doctor who followed through and alarmed that the doctor's office was calling so quickly.
Very soon after the diagnosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), I found myself falling into a 'pity party' made up of one: me! I researched CTCL and didn't focus on things like it's indolent, and there's only a 10% chance of advancement. Rather, I focused on the fact that I had cancer and that it is not curable. I wanted to stay in my pity party.
However, through my research, I found the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation and learned about an educational forum being held in Scottsdale, AZ. I could not believe my good fortune. I attended the forum, not knowing just how good it would turn out to be. I found solace and comfort there and, importantly, I found others who were experiencing similar circumstances. I asked questions and, although I did not fully understand the answers, I was learning. I found this experience to be one of the most valuable in my journey as I learned more than I could possibly have gathered on my own. And, I found a new doctor! Dr. Clara Curiel was the specialist speaking at the forum, and she made such an impression on me that I quickly made an appointment with her (even though she practices in Tucson, which is 125 miles away from where I live).
Through the Foundation's website I joined the CTCL-MF listserv and, through it, I learn a great deal from posts by many other diagnosed people worldwide who are experiencing many of the same feelings and symptoms that I am experiencing. I read it faithfully every day.
With a desire to feel better and get out of my pity party concerning my diagnosis with CTCL, I actually began to feel adventurous and decided to take up hiking again – something I used to love to do. So, I called up my girlfriend hiker, and we began hiking regularly.
Beginning to be consistent with my hikes, it was not good enough that I just hiked – no, I needed a goal. So, my first goal, which was in year two of my diagnosis, was to hike Havasupai Falls on the western end of the Grand Canyon – a 10 mile hike in and a 10 mile hike out. What a beautiful and wonderful experience. Well worth the hike.
Now, with this goal behind me, and looking ahead, I needed something new to spur me on. So, my girlfriend and I decided we would hike from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We decided to break up the hike in a three- night stay at camping sites within the canyon including one night at Phantom Ranch. Excitedly, I made the reservations one year in advance in September 2009 to accomplish the hike in September 2010. This would put me in year three of diagnosis and within weeks of my 60th birthday! I would have a year to train.
Finally, it was September 7, 2010: D-Day. Four ladies left Phoenix for the adventure of a lifetime. Our average age was 62 and we received great joy out of sharing this fact with anybody who said to us: "You are doing what?" We spent the first night on the North Rim and early the next morning started our ascent into the incredibly expansive Grand Canyon, each of us carrying a pack that weighed an average of 28 lbs. Four days later we ascended out of the Canyon to the South Rim – in good shape, too, except for a few bandaged toes and lots of exhaustion. We did it!
That experience was the most grueling and difficult physical endeavor of my life but, without a doubt, one of the most gratifying, too.
Bouts of pity still crop up especially when I see my 'cheeks' in the mirror, or now seeing new larger areas on my neck and chest. To know that this is cancer is discouraging. I have decided, however, through my faith in a Creator bigger than me, that I can choose what to think on and so I have made a decision to dwell on what is good and trustworthy and live my life fully alive. John Eldredge, noted author says, "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
I choose to live, and I hope you are choosing to live, too!

Andrew Fifita showed what he can do without the distraction of State of Origin duties in topping fantasy scorers in Round 17.
Storm 32 Broncos 0
The star: Ryan Hichcliffe (71pts) - that's three-straight 50+ scores from Hinchcliffe and this was his best of the season. Any time you beat Cameron Smith to the Storm's weekly honours, you know you're doing well.
The dud: Josh Hoffman (8pts) - Given the Broncos' final score, Hoffman was lucky to even record eight points. Tip: bench your backs against the Storm.
Value pick: Maurice Blair (50pts) - he's scored seven tries in his nine appearances this season and is the value back of the Storm squad at just $163k.
Sharks 36 Tigers 22
The star: Andrew Fifita (76pts) - Fifita was an all-round fantasy monster on Friday night.
Two tries, two line breaks, 171m gained and 32 tackles. Once Origin is over and done with Fifita can be depended on for some big fantasy scores.
The dud: Braith Anasta (15pts) - He's been a top-four five eight so far this season but this was his equal worst fantasy week as he went missing on offence.
Value pick: Chris Heighington (41pts) - For $182k Heighington's a great option as your bench second rower and this is right around the kind of performance to expect from him there.
Dragons 0 Roosters 36
The star: Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (60pts) - The Roosters enforcer must have been fired up for this clash as he dominated the team tackle count with 41.
The dud: Brett Morris (6pts) - Morris was the victim of a Dragons offense gone wrong on Saturday night. Another lesson in why you bench your back against the 'big four' NRL sides.
Value pick: Michael Jennings (49pts) - He's an in-form Origin representative and he costs just $154k. Buy, buy, buy.
Titans 18 Panthers 40
The star: James Roberts (49pts) - James Roberts? I've never heard of him either, don't worry. But this week he scored three tries and made three line breaks. For $123k he could be a sneaky addition to your backline as the season continues. Keep him on your radar.
The dud: Greg Bird (14pts) - He suffered an ankle injury during this game, so it was tough luck for his many owners.
Value pick: Adam Docker (41pts) - James Roberts could easily be here too, but Docker comes at just $107k and is getting more minutes of late for the Panthers. Could be a possible bench option for you if you're short on cash.
Raiders 26 Cowboys 18
The star: Josh Papali'I (68pts) - A great all-round night for the Raiders second-rower. A try, 155m gained, a line break and 36 tackles.
The dud: Ashley Graham (11pts) - he had a great first six weeks of the season but has been below average since. Avoid.
Value pick: Paul Vaughan (38pts) - If all you had left in your bank was $92k and you popped Vaughan in your lineup this week, good on you.
Bulldogs 12 Knights 18
The star: Michael Ennis (55pts) - He's an every-week starter for your team as he always racks up the tackles. He made 48 this week, his third-highest tackle count of the year.
The dud: Frank Pritchard (11pts) - Pritchard's teased owners all season long, matching great results one week with duds the next. He's too inconsistent for my liking.
Value pick: Willie Mason (41pts) - It was inevitable that Mason would appear in this column at some point this season and, luckily for him, it's as a great value player for the round. At 190k he's cheap, but doesn't quite play enough minutes to warrant selection for your squad.
Rabbitohs 30 Warriors 13
The star: Nathan Friend (54pts) - He's averaging an elite 59 points over his last six games though the return of Pita Godinet in Round 19 may affect his numbers. Keep an eye on team lists before playing him.
The dud: David Tyrrell (10pts) - He's been a solid, if a little expensive, option in the back position this season, largely because he doesn't actually play in the back line. He just disappeared in this match though.
Value pick: George Burgess (44pts) - He was huge on the ground in this match racking up 180m. Pair that with 22 tackles, no errors and a price tag of $139k, then you have your bargain of the week.
Sea Eagles 50 Eels 10
The stars: Jorge Taufua (66pts) - Taufua led the way in the Sea Eagles' hammering of the Eels with a staggering five line breaks which led to three tries and over 200m gained on the ground. When he's on, he's on, as this was his fourth multi-try performance of the season.
The dud: Joseph Paulo (8pts) - By far his worst fantasy day of the season. He came into this match averaging 34 points. He'll bounce back.
Value pick: Daniel Harrison (41pts) - He's averaging 43 points in his two games played this season, so at $189k you should definitely keep an eye on him as the season rolls on.

I'm trying to make my first MYOG pack and I'm trying to decide whether to go with a metal stay, plastic stay or no frame at all but I can't find anywhere to buy a plastic frame to get a price and weight on one. Does anyone know where I can buy one and find out that info?Oct 20, 2011 at 11:04 am #1793004

In the packs I have made I use Easton aluminum arrow shafts. (free – rejects from sporting goods store)
I sew tubes to hold the arrows in place with a heavy velcro top flap. The arrows are in a "V" shape, each arrow going from the center of hip belt to reach shoulder strap attach location. I then use a removable z-lite pad in a outer pocket for framing. (like most MYOG packs). My latest pack is using a piece of shipping foam rather than the z-lite. I use a POE AC air mattress so do not need the added weight of a z-lite. My pack weighs in at 24oz, made from Dynema X-grid fabric and will handle up to 35#. I used it on a thru-hike of the JMT this year – worked superbly. At my 7 day resupply (Garcia bear canister and 7 days food, ~16#)I was at 33#.

This looks interesting: CiloGear framesheet (one of the packs they're used in: 45L)
And… a detail video
Another option: Aluminum stay

@joslynbLocale: Southwest
These are some great options! The Cilo gear frame sheet looks the most unique and I'm kind of excited to try it out. Of course as with any MYOG project, I now have ideas for 2-3 packs, so I might have to go ahead and try them all out. :DDec 1, 2011 at 4:19 pm #1807696

Does anyone know how to make an aluminum hooped frame like GG or SMD uses? I thought I read on here that you can buy a tool at harbor freight to bend aluminum rods, but I can't seem to find that thread. I'm wondering how hard that would be to do and how much $$ it would save over buying one from GG for $25 plus shipping.Dec 1, 2011 at 4:47 pm #1807710
Bob GrossMember
@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
Harbor Freight Tools has a number of metal bending tools. One is a metal tubing bender. However, I don't see many with a low enough cost to rationalize buying the tool rather than buying parts ready-made. If you wanted to make twenty or thirty frames, that would be different.

bending tubing is more difficult than bending solid material – tubing collapses
with solid – just bend it with vice or whatever
I went to polesforyou.com and got some aluminum tubing poles. They had a bending jig. Plywood half circle that they bent tube around the outside of. Metal at one end of the half circle to keep the tubing on the edge. Then they just pulled by hand, against the plywood circle to bend the tube. Pulled on it a number of times to bend it. Then they asked me if it was enough. I asked for more so they bent it a little more… Easy to make something like that. I think they had several plywood pieces with different radiuses depending on what was needed.Dec 1, 2011 at 5:10 pm #1807721
M BMember
easiest is likely to buy a prebent stay
Or can buy flat aluminum strip, or rod and bend using a crude tool you can make, couple of dowels in a piece of wood basically.
Tubing bender and cutter is cheap, relatively. You dont have to bend the top sharp bends, you can cut and braze pieces together for that if you want with low temp rod. The back curve bends are easy if the al is soft and you go slow.
I have used a few tricks over the years for bending tubing <1/4" (too small for normal bender.) From filling with sand, to bending with steel cable inside. Both work reasonably well.Dec 1, 2011 at 5:23 pm #1807723

One of the best backpacks that I have ever had was purchased thirty years ago from REI. The only stiffening it had was a pair of flat aluminum strips that slid into reinforced pockets on the inside of the pack bag. You could use it that way, with the strips flat, or you could bend them around your knee to get a custom shape.
The 1" flat strips had rounded ends coated in plastic so that they would not tear out of the pockets.
I felt like flat strips were superior to solid rods or hollow rods.

Wow, timing. I just got my fabrics&accessories for my next MYOG projects. AND, yesterday I ordered the SMD Aluminium Hoop. Without reading this thread. Stay should arrive next week.
I played with the thought of bending my own hoop out of aluminium tubes but did the math and figured the 25€ are way cheaper than hunting down rods and bending tools, count in the time spent too and it's an easy choise. (Probably need to count twice the amount of rods too as the first one wouldn't succeed). Thats the negative, realistic, approach. Although, I miss out on the experience.
To the previous experience. To bend a hollow tube you'll need a inner part too, for example a spring, to prevent the rod from buckling.
Can comment on the hoop when I get it.
Question. How have others solved the placement of the stays. I'm planning on using tubular webbing for it. Would obviously want to get as much transfer to the hipbelt as possible. So, normally the frame is inside the pack. But how about placing it on the outside. That would allow the frame to be attached directly to the hipbelt. Ah, right, like ula ohm ! (Just came in mind..) Wouldn't that be the Right way to do it?!
Let's have some wild crowd sourcing here guys!Dec 2, 2011 at 9:41 am #1807933
Dale WambaughBPL Member
@dwambaughLocale: Pacific Northwest
You can bend tubing without an internal spring. For that matter, the amount of small diameter steel tubing used for a pack stay wouldn't weigh very much and is readily available in the form of ready made brake lines from your local auto parts store. Steel would be good for prototyping at any rate.
This is the sort of tubing bender you want for stuff up to 3/8" (search on "compound tubing bender):

My Interview With Phil LaBonte of All That Remains
I always give a sneak preview to my 103GBF friends of interviews I've done for upcoming editions of "Loudwire Radio", which airs every Saturday night at 8 on 103GBF and these great stations nationwide.
This Saturday night I talk to members of Hinder and Falling In Reverse, as well as the very outspoken Phil LaBonte, frontman for the killer New England metal band All That Remains!
The version of the interview on "Loudwire Radio" this Saturday is pretty brief, while I've posted the full interview for you, here…now! Also below is the lyric video for the band's new song "Stand Up" from the album "A War You Cannot Win" which comes out on election day!
Phil and I talked for so damn long, I had to break up the interview into two parts!

Oak Ridge Boys Are the Newest Members of the Grand Ole Opry
Members of the Oak Ridge Boys say they felt a kinship to the Grand Ole Opry long before they became members of the famous radio show Saturday night (August 6). Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban were made official members, welcomed to the family of Grand Ole Opry stars by Little Jimmy Dickens and Opry vice-president and general manager Pete Fisher.
"Every time we have been asked to sing here, we have," Joe told The Boot at a press conference before the official induction. "We have played here so many times we have lost track. It's like we've been asked to dinner for a long time and all of a sudden they are saying welcome, now you're moving in! The Opry means the world to us, and now that we're a part of the brother and sisterhood here, we can finally say we are Grand Ole Opry stars."
Duane says he and William Lee came to the Opry for the first time to perform, while Richard remembers visiting the Ryman Auditorium, where the Opry was still held back in the 1970s when he arrived in town, for a Country Music Association awards show hosted by Johnny Cash. "I'm not sure what year it was, but it was right after I joined the Oak Ridge Boys," Richard remembered. "I remember sitting in the audience and feeling something special that I had heard about all my life.
"The circle here makes it a very special place to play," he continued. "I try to picture Roy Acuff and Hank Williams the first time they walked out on that stage. The history of the circle makes it special and a very emotional place to play."
"Every time we play here, I try to edge into that circle as much as I can," Joe echoed, "because it means so much for its history and the people who have stood there."
Most of the people who were in the audience already knew of the impending induction, but Jim Ed Brown gave them a preview when he ended his set by saying, "It's always a great pleasure when we can bring someone like the Oak Ridge Boys to the Grand Ole Opry as members, and you are going to get to see that happen in the next part of our show."
Jeannie Seely was a gracious hostess, welcoming the audience by saying, "What a pleasure to be here at the Grand Ole Opry on such a special night. It is always exciting to introduce a new member, and these guys are in one of the best known and best loved groups in country music — please welcome the Oak Ridge Boys."
The Oaks received their first standing ovation as they walked onstage, breaking into their classic hit 'Bobbie Sue.' Prior to the show, Joe said they chose to do an uptempo song so they would not get too emotional as they walked onstage. "We've all been nervous wrecks all day," Joe said after they finished the tune. "Our second song is celebrating 30 years this year, and I can tell that some of you were not around then. But those of us who were were all singing about Elvira!"
The group launched into the hit tune, with the audience singing along with them. After they sang, the group was welcomed to the Opry family by Fisher and Little Jimmy Dickens, who said, "I can't think of anyone more deserving and long overdue than the Oak Ridge Boys."
The Oaks were surprised when a message from President George Bush was shown via video. "I cannot think of any group or any person who deserve this honor more," President Bush said, explaining when he heard the Oak Ridge Boys rehearsing 'Elvira' on the White House lawn, he had to go out and meet them. "I ran outside like a little kid," he said, "and I've been blessed to call them friends ever since. I think of the Opry and the Oaks both as American icons, beloved from coast to coast and known around the world. I can't think of a better union. I love you boys, and my best to everyone at the Grand Ole Opry, one of my favorite places in America."
Joe was obviously moved by the message from Presdient Bush, and went on to say, "We've always been a friend of the Opry. We've always believed in the Opry and loved and respected every member of this brotherhood and sisterhood of country music. This is a meaningful night, and is it different tonight than it ever has been when we've come down here to sing? You bet your life it is!"
"It is a great honor to stand here at the Grand Ole Opry, on the same stage where Little Jimmy Dickens stands," William Lee said.
"I remember as a child hearing the Grand Ole Opry and Little Jimmy Dickens and Kitty Wells," Duane added. "Jimmy is one of my all-time favorite singers, and his 'Old Cold Tater' and 'Bird of Paradise' are two of my favorite songs."
Richard echoed the sentiment, saying, "Coming from Little Jimmy, it makes it an even more special night. To be on this stage, where the greats have walked, and to be a part of the Opry family, is very special."
Joe paused a moment to remember the 31 Navy Seals who were killed before the group sang their first song as official members of the Opry, 'Amazing Grace.' Following the acapello version of the tune, the Oaks received their third standing ovation of the evening, and left the stage with smiles, waves and a few tears, as the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry family.

Sheriff's Camp Continues, Despite Losing Its Leader
07/21/11 7:34AM By Kirk Carapezza
| Download MP3
(Carapezza) When Connie Allen became one of Vermont's few female sheriffs nine years ago, one of the first things she did was create the Sheriff's R & R Camp. That's Respect and Responsibility. The camp strives to make kids better citizens by asking them to overcome their fears.
Deputy Scott Rogers is the camp director. He says the department is under emotional stress because of Allen's apparent suicide, but they wanted to go ahead with the camp anyway. He says there's no better way to honor Allen.
(Rogers) "I think it also helps in the healing process not only for the staff but also in the community."
Inside the Folsom School gym in South Hero, about 50 kids from all five towns within the county are divided up into "squads." They're designing logos for their group flags.
(Counselor) "So let's mark out the colors. Then we'll go down to the table and you can start marking your flag. Camper) Yes! Painting time!"
(Carapezza) Over the course of the week, these kids will be challenged physically and mentally. They'll do team building exercises and also some and hiking and white-water rafting.
(Jacoby) "Connie, thanks for all the fun things you have planned for us. We will miss you."
(Carapezza) Sarah Jacoby works part-time for the Sheriff's Department. Outside the gym, she's reading comments kids wrote on a poster.
(Jacoby) "Connie, we will all miss you. You made this community a better place."
(Carapezza) Jacoby knew Allen since she was 16-years-old.
(Jacoby) "I watched her grow into this person who tried to take care of everybody. She believed in community policing."
(Carapezza) And Jacoby says Allen infused this camp with that ideal.
(Jacoby) "Because she loved kids so much. You know, she really wanted to get to know the kids on the islands and what better way to do it."
(Carapezza) So on Friday, the last day of camp, kids from across Grand Isle County will learn about first-responders. In the summer heat, they'll take rides in police boats, they'll do fire hose drills, and they'll begin to understand the role of law enforcement in the community.
All thanks to Connie Allen.
For VPR News, I'm Kirk Carapezza.
(Host) This week, the Vermont State Police and Governor Shumlin have begun their search for a new Grand Isle Sheriff.

Yet another testament to the Tanno family's incredible wood working skills! The toothpick cases by Masakage Tanno are crafted with so many intricate details. The pinch opening mechanism is especially satisfying. What a novel idea for a toothpick case (but truthfully most of our clients actually use the case for other paraphernalia)!

How to Blanch PeachesJuly 2nd, 2016 in Tips, Advices & How-to by Julia Volhina
Whatever you may need skinless peaches for: a pie, a dessert or a salad, or anything else, here is step-by-step instructions how to skin them.
Ripe but somewhat firm peaches are easiest to blanch, so pick these if you have some choice.
It is important to not overcook peaches during blanching, especially if they are on the soft side, or peaches will get mushy and somewhat hard to work with after blanching.
Boiled Beef TongueJune 18th, 2016 in Appetizers & Snacks, Beef, Main Dishes, Tips, Advices & How-to by Julia Volhina
Boiled beef tongue is one of foods I love from the childhood, I love the taste, and it also is nutritious and easily digestible and is a good source of protein.
Boiled beef tongue is a perfect dish on its own, that is you can serve it with a side. But it can be also used for sandwiches, or be sliced into a salad, or be used in further cooking.
Now, cooking time for beef tongue will vary greatly depending on it size and age. It will be anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. So start testing readiness at about 2 hours mark of boiling.
Broth prepared from cooking beef tongue with vegetables tastes great as well, you can use it for a soup or some other cooking, just discard roots and use fresh ones at that point if needed.
How to Skin Raw Chicken in One PieceNovember 21st, 2015 in Tips, Advices & How-to by Julia Volhina
I was working on a recipe stuffed chicken skin (it will be coming up in next post) and, after seeing how much time and effort it took me to remove the skin from a raw chicken in one piece without damaging it on the way, I decided to create a post with step-by-step instructions and pictures for others to use.
Pictures have come up not that appetizing (and for that I apologize), but at least they illustrate the process in details and are easier to follow than plain word description.
Most of the work you will be doing with a knife placed in between skin and meat slightly angled towards the meat. Work with short precise cut motions to make sure skin remains undamaged through the process. So, to get a whole raw chicken skin to use for a recipe you will need a raw chicken, sharp long knife and a tablespoon.
How to Make Quark from MilkJune 28th, 2014 in Tips, Advices & How-to by Julia Volhina
This is a bit more time consuming way to prepare quark (fresh cheese) than the one from kefir, it it is also a bit cheaper.
Usually you would just leave unpasteurized milk in warm place for a day or two to sour. But since all milk sold here is pasteurized, it needs some help to get sour, this is why we will also use kefir or cultured buttermilk.
Whole milk will produce tastier cheese, so I suggest using whole milk. I use Snowville Creamery milk for my recipes and it works great every time.
This amount of ingredients will produce about 1.5lb of fresh cheese.
Boiled ShrimpsJune 14th, 2014 in Fish, Main Dishes, Tips, Advices & How-to by Julia Volhina
Store sold ready to use cooked shrimps can be used for recipes which call for boiled shrimps (salads, soups, stir fries, etc). Or you can boil raw shrimps and get more tender, tasty and less expensive version of store sold cooked shrimps.
Shrimps cooked this way also work great as a meal on its own, snack for beer or an appetizer.
Use fresh or frozen shrimps, shell-on or fully cleaned ones, or even whole shrimps (these will require more cleaning after though). You can also use this recipe to "unfreeze" cooked shrimps and infuse them with spices (just reduce cooking time to not overcook them).
Usually package instructions say to thaw frozen shrimps before cooking, but I don't do it. Cooking frozen raw shrimps this way works for me just as good not frozen ones and it also saves time.
Cooking time will depend on size of shrimps: the smaller shrimps are, the less time for cooking they require – turn heat off as soon as shrimps float to the surface (this means they are cooked enough).
No Yeast Puff Pastry Dough (Faster Variant)February 22nd, 2014 in Tips, Advices & How-to by Julia Volhina
Real puff pastry dough is taking a lot of time to make from scratch, most of the times it is easier to just buy it instead. Another alternative could be to try this easier and much faster variant.
Disclaimer first: this dough will probably not be a best choice for some fancy croissants or so, but it will work great for layered cakes, pies, sugar cookies, and such.
Either butter or margarine will work for this recipe, I used margarine. Make sure you don't let ingredients and dough itself warm up, if you need to pause while making the dough, put it to the fridge to cool down.
Prepared dough can be used right away, or can be frozen for later use, make sure to use freezer bag.
How to Make Butter from Whipping CreamOctober 26th, 2013 in Tips, Advices & How-to by Julia Volhina
Couple of years ago we discovered Snowville Creamery. This creamery is local to Columbus OH area and it produces milk, half-half and whipping cream amongst other dairy products. These are absolutely delicious but only come in a half-gallon cartons.
And if I can find something to do with a half-gallon of milk, whipping cream is absolutely other matter: it is not so easy to use all of it (not unless I plan to eat whipped cream every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner for couple days in a row) in time.
Did I mention that Snowville Creamery whipping cream is absolutely delicious? It would be an absolute shame to let it spoil. So when I buy a whole carton and I only need a cup or two of it for some recipe, I do butter from the rest.
By the way, if you can't find Snowville Creamery products nearby, make sure you use 100% not homogenized whipping cream instead, with no extra ingredients in it (check the label!).
