The Cutting Room Presents:
Mingo Fishtrap
The Cutting Room
44 E. 32nd St.
New York, NY, 10016
Mingo Fishtrap
Texas Music Magazine calls Mingo Fishtrap "the space where melodic pop meets gritty Memphis soul, with a twist of N'awlins funk." That space is growing like kudzoo vine on
the Mississippi Delta, crisscrossing the country with a deep, tenacious groove and a sanctified mission to shake your soul.
While attending the University of North Texas' College of Music, Roger Blevins, jr. casually asked a few dorm mates to jam on some old soul & funk tunes. Missing that sound that he had grown up hearing, the Mississippi-native quickly found himself surrounded by an eight-piece band, replete with percussion and horn section. That first unassuming encounter lit a fire, and once the college crowd got wind of this old-school sound coming from Bruce Hall, it spread to Dallas' infamous Deep Ellum, Fort Worth's legendary Caravan of Dreams and down the I-35 corridor to Austin.
Their first album in tow, the band relocated to the Live Music Capital of the World. Mingo quickly carved a niche in the heavily saturated scene, with the Austin Chronicle saying "Their gumbo of tight & punchy horns, deep rhythms, restless melodies, and emotive singing has garnered Mingo justified respect as a live powerhouse." The album Yesterday also garnered a handful of Austin Music Awards, and they once again set their sights on fanning the flames. Mingo hit the festival circuit, which carried their brand of whiskey-soaked, funky soul from Portland, OR to Portland, ME and hundreds of shows everywhere in between. Recent support dates for the likes of contemporaries Robert Randolph, Trombone Shorty, MOFRO & Galactic, along with legends such as Parliament, Sting, Little Feat and Earth Wind & Fire, have raised the profile of the band, sharpened their focus and in 2012 led to the band signing with Intrepid Artists Booking and an ever expanding tour calendar. Over 100 shows are scheduled for 2013, and performances will include features at the 10th Wakarusa, the Rochester International Jazz Festival and Ontario's Thunder Bay festival.
Finding what time they can between shows, Mingo is putting the finishing touches on their fourth full-length album.
Members include Roger Blevins, Jr., lead singer, guitar; Roger Blevins Sr., bass guitar; Chip Vayenas, drums/percussion/vocals; Dane Farnsworth, B-3 Organ/keyboards/vocals; Mikel Urdy, percussion/vocals; Dan Bechdolt, saxophone; Steve Butts, trumpet and Zol
Waterhouse, trombone

Hannah Baldwin-Yeoman-Fling of Marshallton, Chester County, PA
Hannah was widowed when she married John Fling and had 2 childrenBenjamin Franklin Yeoman and Anna Elizabeth Yeoman. Only Anna resided with her and John and Anna was listed as a Fling, but she was born Anna E. Yeoman.
I've been told through someone who says she is her decendant that her parents were Levi Baldwin and Sarah Lawrence and directed to find some information in a book, which we looked up in the Pennsylvania archives. In doing so we found this:
Hannah had a hard life. Shortly after her last child was born, Ben and Anna's father died. She then married John Fling. Within months of marrying John Fling, he threw her and 2 her children out of the house and onto the streets. (Source: Chester County Wills and Registers, West Chester, PA)
4/30/1846 Hannah Fling, her children: Benjamin Yeoman, under age 6 and Anna E. Yeoman, just about 4 years old, were turned out by her husband, the children's step father and they entered into the County Poor House. John Fling sent for her to to come back, since she was pregnant with their first child. On 8/4/1846, Hannah came and took Anna out of the facility, leaving Ben behind. John did not want Ben in his home. Ben was taken out on 6/8/1846, by Josiah Philips and apprenticed by him. After living with him for a number of years, Ben moved to Pocopson as a boarder to Sarah Webb. (1860) Shortly after he married Emiline E. Taylor. Anna Yeoman Married James P. Douglas and moved away. Hannah stayed married to John Fling & had 7 children to him.
Anna wrote a poem when her mother passed which was published in a national paper and her local obituary:
~~In memory of Hannah S. Fling who departed this life July 25, 1899.
Our mother steeps beneath the sod, From all pain and sorrow free; With patience she waited the call of God. "There is rest for the weary; come unto me."
Long years of suffering, she did endure, And with God's promise given, That in heaven above, where all is love, there is no sorrow in heaven.
Through all pain at times she'd smile, A smile of heavenly birth, And when the angels called her home, She smiled a farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure, Earth the lonely casket keeps, And the sunbeams love to linger, Where my sainted Mother sleeps.
Her daughter, A. E. Douglas~~
So this begins our life story and our quest to find the answers of who was Hannah Baldwin Fling's first husband who was a Yeoman. Was he Charles Yeoman, whom entered the Poor House in 12/08/1844 and died in such on 12/31/1844?

Weekend Project: Sous Vide Fish 'n' Chips
May 30, 2014
Serves 5
Cooking time: 20 minutes sous vide cod, 1 hour sous vide chips plus 1 hour drying
- 1 Rock Cod Fish (or any cod), cleaned, descaled, skin on, filleted and cut into bite sizes
- 50g white rice flour for dredging
Sake Marinade
- 100ml Dry Sake
- 5g Dashi Powder
Beer Batter
- 100g White rice flour
- 100g Cake flour (low protein)
- 5g Hon Dashi Powder
- 3g Sugar
- 50ml Vodka
- 250ml Asahi Beer
Fries – Brown Potatoes
- 100ml water
- 1g salt
- 1g sugar
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1L grapeseed oil
Green Tea Salt
- 5g Maldon Salt
- 1g Matcha Powder
Mix the powder and salt in small bowl until salt is fully saturated by the powder and bright green.
- 1 Lemon sliced into wedges for serving
- malt vinegar as desired
Deep Fried Rock Cod
- Preheat Nomiku water bath to 51ºC (124ºF). Bag the cod pieces in with some sake marinade, seal and cook for 20 mins.
- Make the batter by combining all the dry ingredients into a big bowl, and pour in vodka, stir to roughly combine. Now stir in the beer. It's okay to leave clumps in the batter.
- Gently remove cod from bag and dredge in some rice flour. Next dip the piece of fish into batter to lightly coat for frying.
- Fry at 186ºC (369ºF) until crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on dry paper towel before serving. Serve with some green tea salt and fries (chips).
Potato Fries (Chips)
- Set up Nomiku and turn temp to 85ºC (185ºF).
- Cut potatoes into french fries. Add potatoes, water, and salt into a bag to cook in Nomiku bath at 85ºC (185ºF) for 1 hour.
- Be careful when emptying the bag while hot. Drain and spread potatoes out on a sheet pan or cooling rack to dry outside or in the fridge for about an hour for the outer surface to dry out.
- Once dry, fill a deep heavy pot no more than halfway with oil and heat it up to 165ºC (329ºF).
- Fry in oil for about 3 minutes until crust forms. The secret to successful frying is to not overcrowd, and fry in smaller lots or the escaping water vapor will lower the oil temp too much resulting in oily/soggy fries. Drain to cool, spread out on a sheet pan (again, clumping too closely together will steam and soften). Chips at this stage are par-fried and can be made ahead.
- Fry chips again to crisp one more time about 5 min at 186ºC right before serving. Salt while still hot.

Christmastime with Mister Rogers is a prime-time television special based on the series Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Mr. Rogers greets several of his neighbors as he walks through his neighborhood on the way to the television house. Mr. McFeely gives him a box with instructions and says not to open it until he has reached the house and changed his sweater. Waiting to do so, Mr. Rogers finds a new pair of sneakers, which is just what he needed, and a Christmas card from the McFeelys.
Thankful for the gift from his friends, Mr. Rogers talks about his Christmas wish for viewers: "I've been thinking about what I'd like to give you for Christmas. I'd really like to give you something that just fits your own wishes and needs the way these shoes just fit me. I suppose the thing I'd like most to be able to give you is hope. Hope that through your own doing and your own living with others, you'll be able to find what best fits for you in this life. But this hour of television is something I can give you. And we all hope you'll feel very welcome."
After three young carolers sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" outside Mr. Rogers' window, he receives a phone call from Mrs. McFeely letting him know that Mr. McFeely will be stopping by. As he waits, Mr. Rogers remembers many special people who have visited his neighborhood over the years. Mr. McFeely stops by on his way to the rehearsal for the holiday get-together. He mentions that Stephanie, a young girl in the neighborhood who will be performing a dance, is quite disappointed that her family may miss it due to car trouble.
Mr. Rogers goes with Mr. McFeely to the rehearsal where Stephanie shares her disappointment with him. Francois Clemmons details a recent dream in which the members of his traveling choir lose their voices and experience trouble with their bus as they travel. They are helped by the Music Man--a magical musician who sings "Rise Up Shepherds and Follow" as Francois works on the broken bus. He is surprised to find that the Music Man is able to provide them with the ability to play music without any instruments. As they do, Francois sings "Silent Night."
Stephanie joins Mr. Rogers as he returns to his house where they talk about how hard it is to wait for things you are looking forward to. Mrs. Hamilton stops by to borrow some eggs but Mr. Rogers does not have enough. After a quick call to Chef Brockett, she is gone as quickly as she has arrived. Stephanie makes up a story about the Music Man helping Mrs. Hamilton find some eggs after her stubborn hens give her none.
Mr. Rogers opens a gift from a friend--a small banner that says "Merry Christmas" on one side and "Happy Chanukah" on the other. Taking out a dreidel, he spends some time talking about Hanukkah as he plays and sings "The Dreidel Song."
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, presents are not to be opened until King Friday XIII gives his permission. Lady Elaine Fairchild tells Handyman Negri that she is upset at having received only one present. When Mr. McFeely arrives with several packages to deliver, she and Handyman Negri offer to help him as she is left with her frustrations. As the presents are delivered, she finds that the others in the Neighborhood have received many more than her. To show her feelings at being slighted, she turns everything in the Neighborhood upside down--everything except the Music Man who is able to use his magic stick to keep himself right side up. Everything returns to normal when he gives her an ice skating experience--a gift that does not need to be wrapped.
When King Friday gives the word, presents are allowed to be opened throughout the Neighborhood--the first being a Christmas decoration for Lady Elaine which is put together in parts by all of her neighbors.
Back at the house, Mr. Rogers talks about different families traditions--Christmas, Hanukkah, and those who celebrate neither. He suggests that all presents are a sign of love.
Stephanie makes up another story about the Music Man who finds himself in a remote village where a young boy is missing. With the boy's father and sister, the Music Man searches the open land. Climbing to the highest point they can find, they sing "My Sheep Were Grazing", which is heard by the lost boy. Following the sound of their voices, he finds his way home.
At the get-together, everyone sings "Joy to the World" as Stephanie prepares for her performance. She is overjoyed when Stanley Clay arrives with her family. As everyone sings "The Friendly Beasts", she proudly performs her dance on the stage.
Returning to the house, Mr. Rogers concludes, "I, for one, wish you good memories of this holiday. And I hope you'll be able to look for all the different ways that people have of showing that they love you."

Small-biz financing fuels economy
It's a tried and true stump speech staple: "Small business is the engine of our economy." Politicians on both sides of the aisle laud the virtues of entrepreneurial risk takers and hail their resilience as being what embodies the best of the American dream. Yet for all the complimentary rhetoric, there is still a woeful lack of action to protect and empower small-business initiatives for the real job creators in America.
Small businesses create nearly two-thirds of all net, new jobs and employ half of the private-sector workforce. The stump speech rhetoric is real. But small-business owners know the process of growing a business is not as simple as opening a storefront. It takes dedication, commitment, skill, risk, patience and — perhaps most important — access to capital.
Story Continued Below
Access to capital is simultaneously critical and difficult for both aspiring entrepreneurs and existing small businesses to obtain, especially as the business grows, a dynamic that has grown more acute since the financial crisis and throughout the tepid, uneven economic recovery. As commercial small-business lending has declined because of tighter lending standards in the wake of the financial crisis, options for those looking to start or grow a small business have become harder and harder to find.
The latest Economic Report from the National Small Business Association shows that despite more small businesses having reported that they've been able to obtain adequate financing to further invest and expand their business than in the past four years, one in four small businesses still lacks much-needed financing.
Often, would-be entrepreneurs turn to the structure and proven record of growth that the franchise business model provides. Franchising enables small businesses to be launched with the training and support of a well-established brand, which continues to create jobs, despite the ongoing and very challenging economic and public policy headwinds facing the overall business community.
But even lending to franchises, like other small-business lending, has run into its share of challenges. While lending to franchise businesses has improved in the past year, the industry still had a projected 18.6 percent shortfall in 2012, which meant that nearly 94,000 jobs were not created and $12.9 billion in economic output wasn't generated, according to a report commissioned by the International Franchise Association.

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
In the time of the falling leaves, in the time of the last bird-pecked fig and the flowering datura, in the time of the Santa Ana winds, the freeway noise rages.
It's dark yet the delicate whorl of your upturned ear is filling with sound. Not the swoosh and suck of the ocean, rather the grrr, hmmm, vroom of noise poison, potent as the kind poured into Hamlet's father's ear. You check your clock and see that it is only 4:00 in the morning. You think about closing the window, but the first hint of cooler air is riding in on the back of the noise. Coolness is your due, as well as silence. You consider whether you have to pee, but the bathroom seems a long journey from which you will return wide awake.
So you change sides, slide your extra pillow over your head, and hope that by muffling the sound you will be able to sleep. Once you considered earplugs, but you're afraid of not hearing the back door open, the prowler enter. The hour advances, the onramps empty more vehicles onto the freeway, the sound intensifies. Your mind turns to the morrow. Your "to do" list is extensive. You live the day in advance, hour by hour, to make sure you have not forgotten anything. Like a tongue running over the teeth to discover the sore one, your mind suddenly hits pain; you have forgotten to run off the material for the 10:00 a.m. class. You start the day over, try to figure where you can squeeze in the forgotten task. Your jaws begin to clench, so you try to realign your spine in the way your physical therapist told you; you don't want your TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint syndrome) to return.
You check the clock again. Maybe you will call in sick. You remember how terrible it was to try to teach without sleep the last time. It was only yesterday. The synapses between the cottonballs in your brain refused to fire, and the students had to finish your sentences. You opt for deep breathing. Breathe in through your nose like Lilias advised you on your yoga cassette tape: let your belly swell with air then exhale slowly; increase the count with each exhalation. You're almost there. You feel your limbs relaxing, then the southbound NAFTA semi-accelerates on the incline and you go rigid again. You realize you do feel nauseous, but deadlines at work pop into your head. No, you can't call in sick, though you wonder if you can vomit noise.
The sound is everywhere, as if you live in a belfry or the top of a bell jar. It whirls around the second story of the house, enters every window. You know by morning when you open the back door the roar of Highway 54 will stop your breath, hurl you backward like so much debris in an airport runway. When you and your husband first bought this old clapboard house on the north side of Chula Vista it was incredibly quiet at night. Crickets and frogs, that's all you could hear. And the sky still had stars. But since then, Highway 805 was built, then 54. You could see how the landscape had been transformed, uglied, but the radical change in the soundscape was invisible. Now the quality of the night is changed; it is not strained like the mercy from heaven. There are no more frogs, the crickets are drowned out by freeway noise, there is never even a rough approximation of silence, and a bright yellow neon sign tells you to buy something, though you can't quite make out what. You think about the people who can afford to buy silence, darkness. You gnash your teeth.
Perhaps if you read for a few minutes you could lull yourself to sleep. You need to quiet your mind because now the idea of the noise is making you as angry as the noise itself. Nights like these you write letters in your head. Dear Editor, Dear Mayor, Dear Governor, Dear Caltrans. You resist the idea, opt for the book instead. You turn on the little book light and scan the pile beside you. You're too tired to concentrate on the novel Charming Billy; you are only on the first chapter and there are too many characters to sort out. Not the other novel either, the one you put down over a month ago because you sensed something very bad was about to happen. Your hand selects A Year In Thoreau's Journal: 1851, which is a good idea because you're just looking for the quick hit, a few pages at most. You think you're in luck because the August 17 entry opens with For a day or two it has been quite cool -- a coolness that was felt even when sitting by an open window in a thin coat on the west side of the house. Even now you feel your own breeze cover you with a veneer of coolness. You read on till you get to the bottom of the page, then you throw the book to the floor in anger, get up, and slam the windows shut. The passage that so moved you said The stillness seems more deep and significant -- each sound seems to come from out of a greater thoughtfulness in nature -- as if nature had acquired some character and mind -- the cricket -- the gurgling stream -- the rushing wind amid the trees -- all speak to me soberly yet encouragingly of the steady onward progress of the universe -- My heart leaps into my mouth at the sound of the wind in the woods -- I whose life was but yesterday so desultory and shallow -- suddenly recover my spirits -- my spirituality through my hearing.
What is the relationship between quiet and spirituality, between silence and meditation? How will the species evolve without that dimension?
At this moment, the truck changing gears on 54 is robbing you of your spirituality. Still you try to resurrect your mantra. It went something like this: o mane padme ohm. You add deep breathing and thrum the ohm. Amen, it's working. The ohm is subduing the "to do" list that was rearing its many-headed self again. Thank God it suppressed the Christmas list that was snaking its way to the surface; your mind is a catalog in which you could shop all night. Ohm, you drop off. And dream you are riding a motorcycle. You start awake and begin the letter.

A Little Literary Diversion
Compare and contrast is the name of the game today.
Openings are vital to a novel and maybe any writing. I was reading an older text, and it reminded me of another beautiful opening from an even older work. I thought I'd share short portions above the fold, to whet your appetite. Larger excerpts are below the fold for those who wish to see the full passages and revel in the glory of great writing. (For fun, you might try and guess the sources).
1st passage:
All the world was before me and every day was a holiday, so it did not seem important to which one of the world's wildernesses I first should wander.
2nd passage:
Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.
Here are the larger passages. The authors and titles are listed at the end.
1st passage: (1912)
When I set out on the long excursion that finally led to California I wandered afoot and alone, from Indiana to the Gulf of Mexico, with a plant-press on my back, holding a generally southward course, like the birds when they are going from summer to winter. From the west coast of Florida I crossed the gulf to Cuba, enjoyed the rich tropical flora there for a few months, intending to go thence to the north end of South America, make my way through the woods to the headwaters of the Amazon, and float down that grand river to the ocean. But I was unable to find a ship bound for South America–fortunately perhaps, for I had incredibly little money for so long a trip and had not yet fully recovered from a fever caught in the Florida swamps. Therefore I decided to visit California for a year or two to see its wonderful flora and the famous Yosemite Valley. All the world was before me and every day was a holiday, so it did not seem important to which one of the world's wildernesses I first should wander.
Arriving by the Panama steamer, I stopped one day in San Francisco and then inquired for the nearest way out of town. "But where do you want to go?" asked the man to whom I had applied for this important information.
"To any place that is wild," I said. This reply startled him. He seemed to fear I might be crazy and therefore the sooner I was out of town the better, so he directed me to the Oakland ferry.
2nd Passage (1851):
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off – then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.
By now you probably know the second passage is from Moby Dick. The first passage is from John Muir's The Yosemite.

When two forest fires collide, they create a ferocious storm, an unpredictable inferno that demonstrates the true power of nature. Howling winds whip the flames into a frenzy, creating massive tornadoes of fire rising up to 600 feet. The fires become so massive that they actually become their own weather system. Parachuting into and fighting these "firestorms" is an all-too-regular occurences for fearless smokejumper Jessie Graves and his close-knit team. But as Graves prepares again to battle a rampaging blaze, he is unaware that convicted murderer Earl Shaye, posing as a firefighter, is using the firestorm to implement a daring escape plan. As nature's ultimate inferno threatens to engulf him, Graves is caught in the middle of a deadly situation. Using few tools and without backup, he must now try to outsmart the cunning killer and save an orinthologist, Jennifer, who has been taken hostage. But the fire is turning, and time is running out!

McShane pays father tribute
Paul McShane will be thinking about his late father when he leads Republic of Ireland against Italy.
Last Updated: 06/06/11 9:24pm
Paul McShane will be thinking about his late father when he leads Republic of Ireland out for Tuesday night's friendly with Italy.
The 25-year-old Hull City defender has been named captain for the match in Liege in the absence of regular skipper Robbie Keane.
It will be a proud moment for Dubliner McShane, who on Sunday took most of the squad to a charity golf day in memory of his father, Sean.
The former hurler died suddenly in March and his son admitted Sunday's event proved to be an emotional one for his family.
"My dad was a major influence in my life," he said. "Since I was very young, he would always come to every game and he was always there for me.
"Hopefully, he's there looking down on me tomorrow. I am sure he will be very proud also.
"It's an honour. I don't want to bore you with all the cliches, but my family will be very proud of me. I found out just a few hours ago, so I didn't have time to ring anyone and tell them.
"I always love meeting up with the Irish team, and leading the team out tomorrow night is fantastic.
"It was such a shock," McShane said of his father's passing. "That takes a lot of time to get over. It was quite emotional.
"My mum and my sister were there (on Sunday), and my brother. It was a great turn-out. It was great to see all the lads there as well.
"He was quite an admired man around the local area, so there were quite a lot of people there to celebrate it. It was a good day.
"It was for autism around the local area. I'm not sure how much we raised - we had to be back for a curfew, so I didn't find out."
McShane was a big admirer of the way Roy Keane led Manchester United and the Republic when he was a youth player at Old Trafford, before leaving for West Brom in 2006.
"I was captain all my schoolboy days, and I captained the Manchester United Youth Cup team and Manchester United reserves," he said.
"In senior football, I haven't been captain that much, but I suppose being at a young age, there are not many captains at that age.
"I suppose it's something that's one of my aims in my career, to captain my country. Hopefully one day I will be a permanent captain.
"I'm very determined and I have got a lot of desire, which hopefully rubs off on people. Hopefully I lead by example.
"Roy Keane was an amazing captain for Manchester United. Growing up in Manchester United's youth team, he was such a presence around the place. As a captain, he was probably one of the best."
Manager Giovanni Trapattoni handed McShane the armband with goalkeeper Shay Given and midfielder Glenn Whelan unavailable.
"Paul is always ready," he said. "His character and his mentality and his attitude, he is somebody I can trust."
Italian scandal
The 72-year-old coach also called for a change in the culture of Italian football amid a new match-fixing scandal in his homeland, which has seen 16 people arrested following allegations involving Italy's lower divisions.
"I am deeply saddened," he said. "Italy and its football are seen all over the world. We have the eyes of the world on us and in a way, we shoot ourselves in the foot, we hurt ourselves and it is just impossible to believe.
"There are and there always have been strange people in football and around football. What I find stranger is that young players let themselves get involved in these type of situations.
"It happened back in my day as well, but I always kept my distance. That's what matters, you need to keep your distance. We, culturally, need to find a way to eliminate this sort of thing from football."

Sad to learn that Gourmet Magazine is shutting down for good.
Too bad.
I haven't subscribed for years, but a couple friends do and I think it has improved a lot.
Sad to learn that Gourmet Magazine is shutting down for good.
Too bad.
I haven't subscribed for years, but a couple friends do and I think it has improved a lot.
I like Saveur magazine myself
Many years ago I learned how to cook with using "Gourmet"…sad to hear it is over.
I found Bon Apetit a little more accessible, with less complicated recipes and not every recipe having difficult to find and expensive ingredients. Don't subscribe to either nowaways. Not when epicurious.com is free. They even have an iphone app.
Perhaps if you had subscribed Father…
So long as whoever makes Ramen doesn't go out of business…
Fr. Z,
I like http://www.epicurious.com and I think they often provide recipes that have been in Gourmet….
I have a few copies of Gourmet, but once I found Cook's Illustrated (http://www.cooksillustrated.com/) it was love at first sight. A cooking magazine run by folks with OCD and training in food science is a dream for me.
This is God's way of telling you he wants more fasting from you!!!!!!
yea, i had subscribed too at one time. I remember a lot of recipes where you always had to put something through a cheesecloth sieve… LOL.
November is the last issue. You can get the recipes on epicurious for Gourmet and Bon Appéttit. I'm sad to see it go but it has really become much less gourmet over the years. I like Saveur also.
Tina in Ashburn: You mean you don't like fooling with cheesecloth!! I didn't know what that was until some recipe in "Gourmet" called for it!
I used to be a regular reader of Gourmet magazine, but there are better "user-friendly" magazines out there, many have already been named above. "Food and Wine" is my personal favourite.
There are so many magazines going the way of the dino…our "Cottage Living" was discontinued, replaced with Southern Living (What if your cottage isn't in the South?). The internet has had such an impact on magazines that are dedicated to things such as recipes, instruction, construction plans (gardening mags)…the internet just does these things so much cheaper for the publisher. The "Niche Magazines" are disappearing daily…
Considering that the publisher is Conde Nast, the net result is not a great loss.
I must chime in agreement with both Rob (on behalf of Cook's Illustrated) and Craig (on behalf of Saveur). The former is ideal to the "optimizer" school of foodies — think Alton Brown — those who want to cook _______ to absolute perfection, even if authenticity takes a hit; the latter perfectly suits the "authenticator" group of foodies — say, David Rosengarten — who want to cook ____ exactly the way they do on that hilltop village at the foot of the Alps.
Still, shame Gourmet has to bite the dust. I much rather it would have been Cook's Country to which I hope I'm never granted an entry visa.
We too let our subscription to Gourmet lapse in favor of Cook's Illustrated, which is excellent!

Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Fake Apple Store in China Even Fools Genius Employees
An American woman blogging from China has the Internet aflame after posting several photos of elaborate, yet "fake" Apple stores in a remote city in the Communist country's southwest province, replete with Macboks, iPhones, and iPads- which may or may not be the real thing. The fake Apple stores are so elaborately replicated that even staff working there have been fooled.
The stores, located in Kunming in China's Yunnan Province, not only have the Apple logo prominently displayed inside and outside the buildings, but the sales associates wear similar uniforms and name tags like those found on employees at actual Apple stores, according to photos posted on the "BirdAbroad" blog.
China, already notorious for being the source of knock-off Nikes, Louis Vuitton handbags and Microsoft products, has never been noted for being home to an entirely fake operation like what the American blogger and her husband came across.
The blogger was not able to verify whether the products in the store they visited were actual Apple products or knock-offs, although so-called HiPhones and Apads are already in circulation in China. The woman did speak with some of the employees and, to her amazement, they "all genuinely think they work for Apple."
Apple, which has four legitimate stores in Beijing and Shanghai, just released its third quarter profit report and in it touts record sales for the three-month period ending June 25, 2011. The company reported sales of $28.57 billion and a net profit of $7.31 billion for the third quarter, according to Macworld.com, and touted China for providing a great margin of that number.
"China was very key to our results," Apple COO Tim Cook said in a talk with analysts Tuesday, according to transcripts of the meeting widely available online. He added, "So this has been a substantial opportunity for Apple, and I firmly believe that we're just scratching the surface right now. I think there is an incredible opportunity for Apple there."
Apple has been using Chinese factories to assemble its gadgets for years, according to the Wall Street Journal, but has only been recently that the company has set its sights on China's growing consumer population.
Apple told MSNBC that it does not have a self-standing retail outlet in Kunming, but it does have a reseller. However, that reseller is nowhere near the "fake" shop mentioned in the blog, the report notes.
The elaborate spin-off Apple store discovered in Kunming is obviously a slap in the face to Apple, Inc., who could be losing untold numbers in revenue if the products being sold in these illegitimate shops actually belong to them.
The blogger and her husband stumbled across the stores during a stroll. To their amazement, they came across two more imitation Apple stores in the same area.
The main store featured in the post which is brightly lit with white walls and has a winding staircase in the center of the store. The photos show wooden tables decked out with what appears to be the latest Apple products. There is also apparently a genius bar. The post failed to mention exactly how smooth, if at all, it happens to run.
The July 20 blog post exposing the fake Apple store is aptly titled "Are you listening Steve Jobs?"
The issue now is exactly how Apple and the Chinese government will move to shutdown these fake operations, and if any action on their parts will actually stop local counterfeiters from continuing what they apparently do so well, especially when they seem to have the advantage-China produces half of the world's manufactured goods.

WARRENTON - The bodies of two toddlers who disappeared from their east Georgia home Saturday evening were found a few hundred yards away in a sanitation pond Monday.

Green algae made it difficult to see the children when authorities first searched the pond, said Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead.
Three-year-old Jonah Payne and his 2-year-old sister, Nicole, were last seen Saturday at their lakeside house in rural Warren County, about 100 miles east of Atlanta. The children's mother called authorities to report the toddlers vanished after she went into another room.
Police said the mother found the front door open and the children gone. It was at least the second time that day the children got out of the house, Warrenton Police Chief Jim McClain said Monday. He said Nicole figured out how to unlock the front door and gate and left with Jonah at about 4 p.m. Saturday. A neighbor returned them about 30 minutes later.
Bankhead said the children were found in a 1.5-acre pond. He said searchers did not see anything when they first searched the area Saturday or Sunday, but when looking there Monday saw a lump that turned out to be a small body. The pond is surrounded by a fence, but has several holes where a child could easily get through. It sits at the end of a road behind the family's home.
Sunday, GBI agents questioned the children's mother, Lottie Kain. Authorities said more than one person has been given a polygraph test. They would not comment on the tests.
The children's bodies will be sent to the GBI lab in Augusta for autopsy, likely to be conducted Tuesday, Bankhead said.

text: I have a Nikkor 20mm f2.8 AF.. dont remember off hand if it is a D or not. It is dissasembled and sold for parts only. I purchased it as-is with part of the front filter ring broken off. It would not focus to infinity, so I thought it had been a botched repair. I dissasembled it and re-assembled it a couple of times. I think I found the problem, it looks like a tab is broken that controlls the close-focus-correction. The unit is complete except for one of the 3 screws on the lens mount is missing. The glass is in great shape. and it would otherwise be a very nice lens. So I really dont want to re-assemble it. if you want me to re-assemble it so that you know where all the parts go, I can do that for an additional $25.

Worst outfit from a first lady ever?
So it is ugly but the worst of it imo is that it does not fit..looks 3 sizes too small.
it's not even that serious. was the outfit ugly? yeah. did it fit properly? hells no. should i care? hell to the no.
Meh, I stood up from a very ladylike squat in my office this afternoon and my dress got caught between my buttcheeks (yeah, there's an image for you, and don't tell me it hasn't happened to you, too). If someone had been there with a camera at that exact moment... The idea makes me cringe.
Maybe they should stop vacationing all the time so she can afford a better clothing.
I'm a tattooed, free spirited, CIO, circumcision, delayed vax, pro-life, anti flu shot, hiking, beach bum, early potty training, snuggling, video gaming, art therapy, natural remedies, natural health, Jesus is my home boy, Artist, sarcastic mom!
So....you posted this twice with two different titles?
Oh Geez get over it. She is allowed to have a bad clothes day. And it looks like they were traveling. When I travel I tend to wear my sweats. Cut her some slack.
Quoting lancet98:
I like how Michelle Obama dresses in general. I like some of the bolder outfits she has worn to formal occasions, but I have never seen her dressed inappropriately or not in flattering clothing.
Mrs. Obama worked for many years in jobs that require formal clothing. She seems to have a very good sense of what to wear on any occasion, formal or informal.
Here, the kids are dressed informally and she is too - she looks like she's taking them somewhere for a visit or activity. She looks appropriately dressed - neat, clean, understated but interesting colors, well fitted casual clothing. I don't think the pants are too tight - they look like some of the casual pants with a little stretch in them. Probably very comfortable - and look good on a tall long legged woman.
I've never had any problem with how she dresses. I'm tired of dowdy first ladies looking like they picked over Jacki Onasses' trash bin or want to look like Queen Elizabeth.

When adding water later, avoid pouring the water in too quickly. We suggest carefully pouring the water slowly down the side of the teapot, instead of directly into it. Flower tea can be infused 2 or 3 times.
Perfect Assortment
Our Marigold Jasmine Flower Tea is produced in Hulin, Fuding, Fujian, which is located in the northeast of Fujian and is one of the famous tea-producing areas.
Mr. Lin Xingbiao has been a professional tea farmer for thirty years. Born in a traditional tea family, he was deeply influenced by his family and built his own tea factory in 1966. With the gradual growth of his factory, he is trying to seek the common development between enterprise and tea farmers.He thinks that the most challengeable factor is the weather. If tea leaves suffered from bad weather, the yield would be reduced and the quality would not reach the standard.If tea leaves suffered from cold weather, straws would be used to cover them and protect them from being frosted. This is what Mr. Lin gets from his experience over the years.
Scenery for origin product place
Flower tea combines the flavor of flower and tea, meanwhile brings people a strong experience of its bright color. The choose of materials and the making methods of flower tea has greatly affected this special effect.
In order to give the flower a complete blossom when brewed, our technicians will skillfully needle the bottom of the flowers, then bind tea and flower together before carefully neatening the Mao Feng tea buds.

You're reviewing: Family Happiness Flower Tea
* Required Fields
Rating :
Very mild but worthwhile.
Rather embarrassing, the Family Happiness flowering tea did not fully open in boiling water for Mother's Day. Compared to other flowering teas from TeaVivre, the base still remained partially enclosed while the jasmine bridge took an extremely long time to rise. Fortunately, the tea tasted amazing (sweet, evident presence of lily/jasmine) and my mother approved. The rating is with function, aesthetics and taste/scent accounted. Would I recommend this flowering tea? If you have never tried TeaVivre's flowering teas, yes. But if you are acquainted with TeaVivre's flowering teas, there are others that have much more pleasing designs and open up more easily.

Lohmeyer Home Gallery: November 2009
Jim and Jill Lohmeyer's Rountree home includes an eclectic blend of the couple's favorite antiques, art and architecture, making it a truly one-of-a-kind representation of the couple.
DISCLAIMER: The information in this article was fact checked and accurate at press time, but 417 Magazine cannot guarantee its accuracy indefinitely.
Aside from living in Fayetteville for a few years, Jim and Jill Lohmeyer have spent most of their married life in Springfield's Rountree neighborhood. Throughout the past 25 years, the couple has lived in three different houses in Rountree. And for good reason. "This is a very strong family-oriented neighborhood, and it was a great place for our girls to grow up," says Jim, referring to the couple's three daughters: Whitney Lohmeyer, Bethany McDonald (who is 417 Magazine's assistant art director) and Katy Lohmeyer.
Jim, who is an architect and part owner of Lohmeyer-Russell Architects in Springfield, and Jill, who is an artist, each have an abundance of creativity when it comes to home design. And they've certainly put it to use. Their house, which was built in 1907, has been almost completely remodeled by the two. "We did a lot of stripping and painting 10 years ago," Jim says. They also transformed the home's third-floor attic into additional living space, making the house approximately 2,800 square feet. And with their three girls all grown and moved out, Jim and Jill have the place to themselves. "We're empty-nesters now, and it's actually kind of nice," Jill says.
The home décor includes a mixture of old and new pieces alike, but you won't find anything that's just there to take up space. "All of the things we have in the house mean something to us," says Jill. "It really reflects us and our personalities."

COLUMBIA — The latest Winthrop Poll shows President Obama's approval rating in South Carolina is at 48 percent and Tea Party support in the state is waning.
Overall, 41 percent disapprove of the way the Democratic president is handling his job, 9 percent were unsure and 2 percent refused to answer. But of the group that voted in the presidential election, 52 percent disapprove of Obama's job performance, 43 percent approve, and 4 percent were unsure.
The poll results are based on 929 respondents living in South Carolina who were surveyed between Nov. 25 and Dec. 2. The margin of error is approximately 3.5 percent. Results that use a portion of the full sample, such as only those who voted in the 2012 presidential election, have a higher margin of error.
Of those polled, 91 percent said they were not members of the Tea Party, while 5 percent said they were. Of registered voters who consider themselves Republican or who lean Republican, 87 percent said they were not members of the Tea Party. Eight percent said they were.
Considering that the Tea Party was for the most part a loosely organized movement, some who attended rallies and speeches may not have considered themselves "members."
In 2010, however, three times as many Republicans and those who leaned Republican said they were members of the Tea Party.
Thirty-four percent said they disapprove of the Tea Party, 29 percent approve, and 33 percent said they were not familiar enough with the movement to have an opinion. Among Republicans or those who lean Republican, 59 percent approve, 16 percent disapprove, and 20 percent said they were not familiar.
As for Gov. Nikki Haley, whose election in 2010 was fueled by Tea Party enthusiasm and the backing of Sarah Palin, 41 percent said they disapprove of the job she is doing. But 38 percent approve and 19 percent were unsure.
The Winthrop Poll also looked back at the South Carolina GOP primary election from January.
South Carolina voters chose Republican Newt Gingrich over Mitt Romney by about 40 percent to 28 percent. But of those surveyed in the Winthrop Poll, about 40 percent said Gingrich would have been less successful against the president. Thirty-eight percent said Gingrich would have done about the same as Romney against Obama.
Congress fared the worst.
Those who disapprove of Congress made up 77 percent, those who approve 13 percent, and nearly 9 percent were unsure how the legislative body was doing.


text: I tried to mix hcg with bacteriostatic water for the first time. When adding the water, I was not aware of the vacuum seal and it sucked in the water so quickly, that caused it to foam up. In a matter of seconds it settled with just a few tiny bubbles. Did I destroy the peptide? Is it safe to use it now? I have heard that HCG is pretty fragile.

When I saw the Romney photos from the Red Cross, I thought about the inevitability of his emphasis on charities versus FEMA, but otherwise I sort of shrugged it off. Hearing that the entire thing was staged, and in fact wasted the time of real Red Cross personnel, rather turns my stomach. This campaign really knows no shame.

THE BRONX — The metal fan who collapsed and mysteriously died after seeing his favorite band play at Webster Hall was a former gang member and aspiring front man who used music to turn his life around, friends said.
Dagoberto Ramos, 21, jumped, screamed and danced while watching metal band Miss May I play at the East Village venue Saturday night. When he stepped outside to get some air, he collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
He was pronounced dead at Beth Israel Medical Center later that night, according to the NYPD.
"He went out dancing and moshing and stage diving at Miss May I — for Bert that was the way to go," said Jenise Sarraga, 43, who bought him the concert tickets.
The band acknowledged Ramos' death on its Facebook page and asked fans to donate to his funeral fund through an online campaign that Sarraga started.
"We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear this news.... We'd ask that all your thoughts and prayers be with his family. We have been made aware of a webpage that is raising funds to help pay for his funeral costs. We will be making a contribution and we'd strongly urge others to do so."
The fund had raised about $6,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.
Ramos was born to a crack addict in The Bronx and was adopted by a loving mother and a pastor father, friends said.
But Ramos lost that stable environment when he was 16 and his adoptive mother died from a stroke. He and his adoptive father began fighting and eventually stopped communicating, said Noelle Sarraga, 17, one of Ramos' best friends.
"He went through a lot with his father and essentially became a child of the streets," she said. "He got involved with gangs, started selling drugs and was in and out of jail."
Ramos had eight prior arrests mostly for misdemeanors, like trespassing and jumping turnstiles, according to the NYPD.
He decided to leave gang life in 2012, moved in with relatives in Florida and worked in construction. In June 2013, he moved back to The Bronx and lived in Soundview with Jenise and Noelle Sarraga on the condition that he keep out of trouble, they said.
It was during this time that metal music helped him overcome his troubled past, friends said.
"He had all these bad feelings — it was an emotional release," Jenise Sarraga said. "He was able to release all of that pent-up anger. His dream was to be the lead singer of a screamo band. He practiced every day in the shower for 45 minutes."
Screaming and writing lyrics were like therapy for him. Ramos wrote about abandonment, living in the streets and dealing with loss. He wanted to be on stage and help people the same way those bands helped him, said his friend Noelle Sarraga.
The aspiring head banger was trying to put a band together and started using the stage name Alberto Scott on his social media accounts.
To help keep him on the straight and narrow, Jenise Sarraga got Ramos an internship at Build it Green NYC, a nonprofit store that salvages building material and restores furniture.
From the first day, when he wore a tuxedo and moccasins to his job interview, Ramos made a lasting impression, said his supervisor Ellis Isenberg.
"He was really an incredible dude," he said. " He would come in hours early just [to] work extra. We were already looking to find him a [permanent] job."
How the 21-year-old died remains a mystery. An initial autopsy by the Medical Examiner's Office did not find the cause of death so they will have to run additional tests, a spokeswoman said.
Despite years of gang life and living in the streets, Ramos did not have any serious medical conditions, friends said.
Because he was adopted, it's difficult to know if he had any genetic conditions passed down, Jenise Sarraga said.
"He said he felt a little sick before the concert," Sarraga said. "He said he felt like he couldn't breathe. But he wasn't going to miss Miss May I."
Sarraga and her daughter don't blame the metal band for Ramos' death. In many ways, it saved his life, they said.

Hyundai Elantra Original Equipment Tires
I was curious if all the Elantra's are equipped with the same tires or if there are different types depending on where the car originated.
My Elantra came from the Korea Plant but do the cars that originate from the Alabama Plant have the same tires?
The owner of the dealership told me that with the increased production at the Alabama Plant about 60% of the Elantra's sold in the US come from the Alabama Plant with the balance coming from Korea,
maxx4me Posts: 1,340For many years on the Elantra the OEM tires were either Hankook Optimo H426 or Kumho Solus KH16. The Kumho is a much better tire. The H426 is a frighteningly bad tire in any snow or ice. It is amazing that Hankook makes such a miserable OEM tire, when the H727 is an outstanding tire. I tried to get the dealer to swap out my tires with some Kumhos on their lot from another Elantra, but they are not allowed to do that (so they say). I left the H426's on for 2 years and then got rid of them before the third winter set in.
Check your trunk. You don't have a spare tire.
Well aware of the no spare tire and knew it well before purchase. At first it caused some concern but after thinking about, after almost 45 years of being a licensed driver I have never had a catastrophic failure that an inflation system wouldn't take care of on a temporary basis and that's after many cross country trips from FL. to CA and back. I have had punctures too large to repair once the debris was removed but you certainly don't want to remove any debris until you are in a secure location. Of course I never have run my car tires up to the point where they questionable from a traction or age standpoint. Good tires are the most important part of the safety equation.
If I were planning a long road trip that would take me into some wide open spaces I would get the spare tire kit or piece one together on my own just for added piece of mind. I know the Hyundai Dealers sell a spare tire kit but it's about $240 which is probably $100 more than it should be.
Funny thing though, my neighbor has a new 2012 fully equipped Camaro, probably paid close to 40K for and it has an seal/inflation system as opposed to a spare tire and in looking at a number of new cars on the web it is obvious that other manufacturers are going without the traditional spare tire as well. I do think the traditional spare vs the seal/inflation system should be at the discretion of the buyer as it would be very easy for the Dealer to address at the time of purchase.
Amen, I am with you. I got a spare via a Hyundai sale, maybe paid too much but my concern was fooling around with a tire problem in snow or a snowstorm. I buy new tires before they fully wear down, never had a flat, but you never know........ In any case, I didn't trust the Hyundai gadget.
crankeee Posts: 298totally agree with comments on having a pare- even the "trailer tire" version. We had the deflated spare with the can of air/sealant in a 300ZX. Never had to use it bit carried TWO extra cans of flat seal to feel more safe.
We bought the 2012 Sonata GLS that had the trailer tire as standard equipment. Once the cars get too small the mfrs are going to eiliminate the spare for weight as much as space. The self sealing air cans are a great backup to have in your car. Ask a BMW owner about his experience with buying, fixing and replacing on the road a run flat tire. You won't want that option on any car if you have a choice.

I bought a new 2013 Hyundai Elantra from a Westbrook Maine dealer in August. It came with Optimo H426 tires. Had I known how bad they are in the snow, I never would have bought the car since I can't afford new tires. Two days ago I slid into a snow bank getting into my driveway and cracked the front bumper and knocked the passenger fog light inward. I've had the car less than 6 months and am now faced with a repair bill. My driveway doesn't have much of an incline and my Pontiac Sunfire never behaved so poorly, even with its OEM ties that I replaced after 2 winters. With today's high tech materials, there is no need for a bumper that weak to be put on new cars, and what kind of company ships cars with OEM tires that can't grip on snow to northern states? I also just learned that it doesn't come with a spare tire, of which the dealer did NOT inform me. The paperwork does say it comes with a puncture repair kit in lieu of a spare tire. That's a lot of not good enough for 20K. But in good driving conditions, the car handles well. And I liked the vehicle a lot until the snow came.

shanepb: I bought the 2013 Elantra Ltd. not long ago. I'm in the South (having moved from the North) where we get snow and one inch shuts things down here. The tires are the same as yours and they are bad. I'm in NC. I'm on a limited income but due to the bad tires (and I hate to tell you but you better check your battery*) I'm sure the tread life will wear soon and I will replace the junk tires with something of substance. An *Interstate battery is in mine and I have no idea why I asked but it was a two-year battery. Interstate was the lowest rated battery by Consumer Rpts. some years ago. I had one in my last car and it died early. So be forewarned.
Most Hyundais (and other cars, too) don't come with a spare. We were fortunate enough to see the Elantra sedan car in a parking lot and were admiring it. The owner was in the car and she gave us a tour. It included no spare - the stupid can is STANDARD (uppercase as that's how it show on the MSRP). The spare came as an extra on my car. This won't make you feel any better but my spouse also replaced our 2010 RAV4 - it was horrible. The new car he bought has no spare and I said I'll have to find one when finances settle down.
We're also in a position where when it snows and the kids ride down the street and packs the snow down, we don't have to go out. The tires scare me.
Your dealer should've told you and if you look at the MSRP, it should be clearly written on it. But I don't think salesmen care (it would've been a negative) and just want to push cars out.
I don't trust the car, trust the warranty less, and I haven't driven it much. But tomorrow will be a test when we make a 5-6 hour drive. I'm really glad you say the car handles well, though.
Good luck to both of us!

How about snow tires for a 13' Elantra GT? The size (215/45/17) they require appears to be out of the ordinary and thus expensive. Anyone buy snow tires for this model? Where and how much?
My 2013 Elantra GLS Sedan also has the Hankook P205/55R16 89H tires. The alignment on my Elantra has been excellent & the dealer recommended no tire rotation twice, which has turned out very well. Have had one tire rotation within the present 22,000 miles & tire tread all around looks very good. Hope to get 50,000 miles on them if they continue wearing as they have. Think the excellent alignment piloted me well through the minimal snow I've encountered so far. With tires at 38psi, my cornering has been OK, tho I certainly don't push it. Averaging 39 mpg with 15% city driving, 2 summers & one winter. By next spring, think my life-time mpg can hold above 37mpg & hope for higher(maybe even 38+mpg). For poorly recommended tires, my Hankooks are OK. A new Michelin tire has come out with tread as it wears, compensates to maintain traction.

Sorry I'm late to answer. My Hankooks looked wonderful at 20,000 miles. As stated, very gentle featherfooting & excellent alignment gave me hopes of 50,000 miles. Almost immediately tho, the Hankooks started wearing strongly. Tho at 38psi, they wore evenly. But at 32,000 they looked like they wouldn't go 40,000 miles. It was December 2015 & a good sale on Goodyear Comfortreds at the local family owned dealer, the Hankook tires were gone. The Goodyears are more responsive than the Hankooks ever were. Despite my use of higher tire pressures, the Comfortreds are more.......comfortable too. Altho on sale, the Goodyears still were higher priced. They better get beyond 60,000 miles. Some owners have had bad experiences with the Goodyears, while other owners went past 100,000 miles on the Comfortreds. We'll see.

Our Members get unlimited access to download everything
This tutorial will show you how to design a web layout where you can sell your software. If you have a downloadable item on your website ready for sale, then you will also need some tools to create 3D software boxes.
If you don't know how to create a 3D box then please go to 3D Software Box, and view the video to see how easy is to create unique 3D boxes in Adobe photoshop.
The above step is optional in this tutorial, and you can use any other 3D software you have already.
16.000 + Photoshop Layer Styles
Optional for logo creation you can use Ultimate 3D generator
If you're a member, you can download the PSD Layout for this tutorial at the bottom of the page. For this tutorial you will need to create a new document with the following size: 1100 pixels x 1250 pixels.
With Paint Bucket Tool fill your background layer with the following #d8d8d8
Duplicate the Background layer and then go to Fill > Noise > Add noise. Use the following settings:
On the top side of the background layer i will create a new shape with Rectangle Tool
For this shape I will add the following layer styles.
You can see on the following image the result. As you can see this layer style has an indented look. Try to save this preset because you will need later in this tutorial. In case you want more layer styles we have a huge pack with over 16,000 Photoshop Layer styles.
On the top of the website I will create another shape with Rounded Rectangle Tool. I will use the same pressed layer style settings.
The next step is to add some lines with pixel tool. I will set the line weight to 1 pixel. You can make this setting after you select the Line Tool, and then you will find the value on the Option bar.
I will continue working on the horizontal menu. Here I will create a new shape with Rounded Rectangle Tool. After you use this tool, right click on the layer inside your layer palette, and choose Rasterize Shape.
Delete the top part of the shape with Eraser tool, or you can create a selection with rectangular marquee tool, and the hit the Delete key on your keyboard ( Clear )
Please use the following layer styles
With pen tool create the following shape. I will use this shape to create a nice shadow under this button in my following steps.
I will drag the layer under the orange button.
Now you need to lower the opacity for this shape to 10-15 %. Another tip is rasterize the shape ( right click on the layer inside your layer palette ), and then you can erase the shape with a smooth round brush.
On the top of the layout I will create an area where you can add very important texts. These type of text which are very visible are very important because you can transform a normal usual in a customer.
As you can see I have used the same pressed layer style, and with horizontal type tool I wrote some text. I will create also a text logo. You can create also a 3D logo with the help of our 3D generator
In the middle of the layout I will create 4 boxes with Rounded rectangle tool, and I will add the same pressed layer style I have used over and over in this tutorial.
Here i will add the 3D software boxes created with 3D Software Box Creator
Under each area i will add some text with Horizontal Type tool
After you add the text, you will need to write some minus signs with Horizontal Type Tool.
The last step is to fill the bottom part of the shape with text and some other simple elements. Please take a look on the following image to see the full result.
If you want to download this PSD layout you need to register for an account.
