Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes was among 22 players called up Sunday by U.S. Coach Juergen Klinsmann ahead of Friday's friendly with the Netherlands in Amsterdam and next week's game against World Cup champion Germany in Cologne.
Zardes is one of nine players to be summoned off Major League Soccer rosters. Galaxy teammate Omar Gonzalez, who started against Germany in last summer's World Cup, was not among them. The call-up was the fourth this year for the 23-year-old Zardes, who earned his first career assist in a 2-0 win over Panama in February.
The European exhibitions account for two of three games the U.S. has scheduled before July's Gold Cup tournament.
"Our time since the World Cup has been a transition period which now winds down before the Gold Cup," Klinsmann said in a statement. "Playing against top teams like Germany and the Netherlands provides valuable experience, especially for the younger players here."
Not called up was forward and team captain Clint Dempsey of the Seattle Sounders. He will remain in Seattle awaiting the birth of his fourth child.
Eight of the 22 players summoned have played 10 or fewer games for the U.S. while nine have made at least 20 appearances. Eleven were on last summer's World Cup team.
The roster:
Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake), William Yarbrough (Club Leon)
Defenders: Ventura Alvarado (Club America), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Timmy Chandler (Eintracht Frankfurt), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Michael Orozco (Puebla), Brek Shea (Orlando City SC), DeAndre Yedlin (Tottenham Hotspur)
Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Mix Diskerud (New York City FC), Miguel Ibarra (Minnesota United FC), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Monchengladbach), Jermaine Jones (New England Revolution), Alfredo Morales (Ingolstadt), Danny Williams (Reading)
Forwards: Juan Agudelo (New England Revolution), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar), Bobby Wood (1860 Munich), Gyasi Zardes (Galaxy)

Story by sports information student assistnat Victoria Kabungulu
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Earlham College field hockey team lost 1-0 to Transylvania University in a non-conference contest on Friday.
In the first half, neither team landed a goal. As the second half came around, the game was tense as both teams moved the ball up and down the field. With time winding down, Transylvania's Jessie Wilson managed to net the first and only goal of the game at the 69:39 mark to secure the win.
The Quakers and the Pioneers both peaked at 14 shots for the game. Earlham held a 9-1 edge in shots in the first half, but Transylvania took 13 in the second half while the Quakers took only five.
Transylvania's goalie Allyson Benz handled seven saves while Earlham freshman Camille van der Vaart saved five shots.
The win for Transylvania avenged a 2-0 loss at the hands of Earlham on Sept. 4. The Quakers stand at an even 5-5 on the season and return to North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) competition at Wittenberg University at 11 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday).

The Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata died in 1991, when he was just 56, and virtually all of his renowned interiors, for clients like Issey Miyake and Esprit, have vanished. Among his groundbreaking household objects, including an acrylic chair embedded with artificial roses and an armchair made of glued glass pieces, many are confined to museums and private collections.
Still, Mr. Kuramata is very much with us. "He is one of those designers whose reputation and stature grow with time passing," said Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum in London and the main contributor to "Shiro Kuramata," a two-volume monograph coming from Phaidon next week ($150). In the first book, Mr. Sudjic arrestingly presents Mr. Kuramata in the 20th-century context of Japan's disastrous militarism and bubble economy. The second, compiled by Keiko Hashimoto, is an illustrated catalog of the designer's 600-plus projects from 1958 to 1991. The volumes are boxed in his signature material, acrylic.

It is almost confirmed that Touch ID would be the part of all the upcoming Apple's 2014 iOS releases. Earlier reports already revealed that Apple iPad Air 2,iPhone 6 and iPad mini 3 would feature the embedded fingerprint scanner.
Recently another snapshot suspecting the Apple iPad Air 2 was tweeted by Steve Hemmerstoffer, an editor with French site NWE. The tweet reveals the image of an Apple iPhone 5s lying on top of the iPad Air 2. The second one is wrapped in protective plastic. The important part of the image is the Touch ID embedded home button,confirming the fingerprint scanner on the sequel to the full-sized 9.7 inch version of Apple's tablet line. Touch ID fingerprint sensors will most likely come into execution as Apple launches iOS 8 with new Touch ID APIs for developers. It will replace logins and passwords in apps.
Apple iPad Air 2 is expected to sport a new rear camera from 5 megapixel sensor to 8 megapixel shooter. The front facing camera will be updated from 1.2 megapixels to 1.5 megapixels.Moreover, the next generation of iPad Air will also incorporate True Tone dual-LED flash, Burst Mode, and Slow-Motion video capture mode just like its sibling iPhone.

'A subscription to the Society is the greatest investment a writer can make.' Philip Pullman
Six top tips for visiting the London Book Fair
London Book Fair, image © Midas PR
Every year, the London Book Fair (LBF) attracts thousands of visitors – writers, illustrators, journalists, translators and many more – each hoping to meet, learn from and talk to publishers, agents, producers, distributors, booksellers and other authors in person. It's an opportunity to discover something new, network with those in your industry and catch up with fellow authors.
But where do you begin, and how can you make the most out of your time there, with over 1,700 exhibitors and three days to get lost and a little bit confused?
We've gathered our expertise over the years and put together a few top tips to help you prepare (and enjoy) your book fair experience.
It's unlikely you'll catch a big break (and if you do, see tip 6 below), but if you manage your expectations, you'll find it easier to prepare. Firstly, do your research. Make sure the publishers you want to see are the ones most likely to be interested in what you have to say. Pick the right editors and agents – no matter how good your satirical picture book on Henry VIII is, not everyone is going to be interested. Figure out what it is that you want to get out of your experience.
Remember, too, that it may not be the best place to trawl for an agent – most of those attending will have packed schedules as it is. It may be better to check out who is currently active in your area of work – and who you can see is the best match for you (and you for them).
Book your appointments with plenty of time in advance. At this stage, most agents and publishers will already be booked up – and if there are any open invites, you may still end up waiting at the back of a queue. So set realistic goals and narrow your objective: if you want to find a small independent publisher, drop them an email ahead of time. Or if you do know who you want to see, make sure you get in line early – and ask around for open invites or opportunities.
Have business cards or your contact info ready to hand – it's harder to follow up on your pitch seriously if you're scribbling your email on the back of a napkin. And, of course, pack comfortable shoes (or a change of shoes) and lightweight clothing. It can get stuffy – regardless of how warm it may be outside – and a folding bag for your extra clothing if needed. Carry a bottle of water with you, and leave room in your bag for freebies.
You can purchase snacks and meals at many locations throughout the event – but consider packing your own lunch if you have special dietary requirements or if you're on a budget. The vendors may not have a full range of vegetarian or vegan options, and most are quite expensive.
Once you've set your goals and you know what you want to achieve, it's time to show off what you can do.
Illustrator Steve Antony has some great advice about preparing your portfolio (which you can read here), particularly for illustrators:
Whatever you do, don't underestimate your sketchbook. Take it with you. Yes, it's great to present your work in a polished and professional way, but editors love to see sketches. They love to see how you come up with ideas. Something in your sketchbook might catch their eye.
Whatever you do, don't underestimate your sketchbook. Take it with you. Yes, it's great to present your work in a polished and professional way, but editors love to see sketches. They love to see how you come up with ideas. Something in your sketchbook might catch their eye.
There's no harm in bringing your work along – just don't overpack your bags with books because (no doubt) you'll come away with more books than when you arrived. You can also present your work nicely on a PDF and show it off on your smart tablet, as Steve suggests. It's best to do both, in case publishers want to see your work in print.
Take a notepad and pen with you to make notes, and whatever your reason for being there, make sure editors, publishers or agents can see your best side.
To do this, you might need a bit of luck on your side. But don't be afraid to introduce yourself to new people, no matter how intimidating – just be polite, friendly, and clear about why you're talking to them. Again, Steve's advice is to prep a one-sentence synopsis of your book, which can come in handy if you happen to bump into a friendly editor or agent on the way to the loo.
And while it's hard to meet and network with new people (especially if you're there on your own), remember that simply by virtue of being at the London Book Fair, you're doing what you can to put yourself out there. Say hi to someone you don't know and complain about the long queues, or go visit a publisher from outside the UK if things are getting hectic. You never know who you'll meet or what you'll learn – after all, as storytellers, we're all about collecting new experiences.
LBF is a great place to pick up on commercial trends, plans across the industry, in the many talks and other events taking place over the three days. In fact, our CEO Nicola Solomon together with Management Committee members Philip Womack and Woodrow Phoenix will be speaking at this year's LBF Authors HQ on making a living from writing (more here), and our Public Affairs Manager Tim Gallagher will discuss creating a fairer industry (details here).
Okay, so we're blowing our own trumpet a bit, but we're there for a reason! We help all types of writers, illustrators and translators with all types of questions. So, whether you're looking to make it in the translating world or you're unsure about a contract, come see us. We're friendly, we offer astonishingly good advice – and we have a very big bowl of sweets.
Our advisors are on hand to discuss any issues you are currently facing, contractual or otherwise.
And whether you're a member or not, we'll be happy to answer any questions about the SoA itself – our events and prizes, our special interest groups and campaigns. It's all for you – so please come and say hello.

It is a beautiful 20 degrees in Malta today. The skies are blue and the view from the Radisson blu Golden Sands Resort Spa is just amazing! But we are here to work...and that's exactly what we are doing.
The Ballroom is bustling with activity. Schools and exhibitors receiving workshop delegates at their respective tables, agents going around from one table to the next meeting schools and exhibitors. It is a lovely and cozy event where everyone has the opportunity to speak to everyone else.
After a morning of meetings, agents will move on to do school visits. One of the characteristics of the FELTOM workshop is that agents have the opportunity to visit the schools and that gives them an opportunity to get to know them better and see for themselves where their students will be learning English once they are in Malta.
Later on this evening we will all meet at Gianpula complex for a welcome receiption, giving all the delegates further opportunities for networking.
We'll be back with more updates later on :)

Hands On: Manage your gear in 'Destiny 2' with Ishtar Commander for iPadPlayers of 'Destiny 2' who feel the existing companion app isn't great for managing the weapons and armor of their characters should look at Ishtar Commander, a free iOS app that makes item management and optimally equipping the avatars quick and easy, both during and outside of gameplay.
Like the original game, "Destiny 2" is a first person shooter that requires a level of diligence from its players with regards to items. As a "loot-heavy" game, it offers players vast amounts of guns, armor, and other items for completing missions, leveling up, or even randomly in chests or by killing basic minions.
As the swaths of random usable equipment rolls in, there is a need to occasionally perform upkeep on the character's inventory, which allows up to ten of each category of item. If an item slot's capacity is reached, no more of that type of equipment can be added, and instead is sent to the postmaster for later collection.
Along with the character's own capability to hold equipment, players can also send items to be carried by their other unused characters, and to place some of the acquired weapons and armor in the vault. Over time, the constant acquisition of high-level and collectable in-game hardware will exhaust all of the available storage that developer Bungie decided was an appropriate amount to offer.
Juggling items between characters is difficult in the game itself, as it requires players to log into the character that holds the item they want to move, transfer it to the vault, switch characters to the one the item will be used by, then picking it up again from the vault before finally equipping it.
The official Destiny app is helpful here, as it provides a list of all items each character is holding, and allows for them to be transferred directly between characters and the vault, rather than requiring any in-game effort.
While handy, the official app doesn't seem to have been optimally designed for item management, as even on the large iPad screen, you can only see one character's items at once. The dark theme and layout of the app may also be unappealing to some, including the baffling design decision to have the menu items furthest left disappear out of view when users select options to the right, forcing users to keep swiping left to go through each and every menu item to get to earlier options.
Ishtar Commander is a free alternative to the official "Destiny 2" app, specifically aimed at those wanting more control over their items. Produced by Nigel Hietala, the unofficial app provides practically all the item management functions of Bungie's version, but goes a number of stages further in improving the "guardian's" game experience.
Firstly, the app attempts to match the visual aesthetic of the game itself, far more than Bungie's effort does. Equipped items are singled out to one side while carried items of each type are held in a three-by-three arrangement beside them, with a long press of the item bringing up an information box reminiscent of the in-game version.
The box offers all of the details about the weapon, armor, or item that is shown to players in-game, including weapon perks, mods, rarity, and if it is a masterwork. While it doesn't allow for an item's mods or perks to be changed like the official app, it does still allow users to lock items, preventing them from being accidentally deleted as part of the many discard sessions players go through from time to time.
While iPhone users will still have to switch between their characters and the vault at the top of the screen, iPad users are able to see all three characters and the vault on one screen, making it extremely easy to see where items are located. Once found, a quick tap of the item will bring up a transfer menu, offering to transfer or equip it to the other characters, or to send it directly to the vault.
Tapping the top left of the app will bring up an option to highlight duplicate items, which for item collectors provides a way to see if they already have a weapon or a piece of armor already in their inventory. For stackable consumables, this is also useful for consolidating stacks, lowering the number of spots the item appears and freeing up space.
For those looking to quickly increase their light level (a way of gauging the strength of a character or their items), Ishtar Commander offers a way to quickly update the avatar's light without having to sort through collected items for upgrades, an issue that is common for players leveling up their second or third characters. Tapping the character's banner will bring up a button that reveals the potential maximum light power using available items, including stuff stored in the vault and on other characters, while pressing it automatically shuffles all the items around to bring the character up to that light level.
The app divides itself into four sections, with the first two dealing with weapons and armor, while the third handles general "Inventory," including usable and transferrable vehicles, emotes, emblems, shaders, and mods. This third screen also shows the consumables pool shared between all characters, lost items awaiting collection at the postmaster, and if there are any engrams held by characters awaiting decryption into more items.
The fourth panel doesn't directly relate to items, but in fact provides an at-a-glance notification of each character's progress. Weekly milestones and levels earned with the game's factions are viewable here, partly to show what each character can achieve, the next bit of the storyline they need to play, or even simply how many times they have acquired items from specific factions over time.
The inventory focus of the app does mean it doesn't offer all of the features of the official app, including news items, details of live events, and assorted clan and community communication tools. It could be argued that, as a light-weight third-party app, it doesn't need to provide these elements at all, as those who want to manage items would rather just get access to them as quickly as possible instead of reading up on the game's development roadmap.
The only real negative is the authentication system, where players log in to their console or Bungie account through the app and authorize Bungie to allow it access to the player's account inventory. Attempts to authenticate a PlayStation account with two-factor authentication failed, seemingly connected to a similar issue with Sony's web account system in iOS Safari, with a workaround performed by authenticating a linked Bungie.net account instead
The intuitive nature of Ishtar Commander makes it a highly useful addition to a guardian's toolkit, as a simpler way to manage carried items and to quickly retrieve stored weapons from the vault or other characters. Its ease of use and its automatic max light level feature makes it indispensable for those power-leveling new personas or with massive item collections that strain under Bungie's defined limits.
Ishtar Commander is a better item management tool for iOS than what Bungie offers players themselves. As a free app with no advertising or in-app purchases, instead funded by a Patreon, anyone using the official Destiny app for "Destiny 2" should seriously consider looking at this as an alternate option.
Ishtar Commander is a 45.4 megabyte download and is compatible with all iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models running iOS 8.0 or later.

Yellen Leaves Key Details of Fed Exit Plans a Mystery
What's hazier than the timing of the Federal Reserve's first interest-rate increase? Key details of some of tools and strategies it will use to help shepherd borrowing costs higher some day.
In a news conference following Wednesday's Federal Open Market Committee meeting, Chairwoman Janet Yellen was asked about two important things: When the Fed will stop taking active steps to keep the size of its $4.5 trillion portfolio of bonds and cash steady, and how large a program designed to set a floor underneath short-term interest rates will be.

They project into the duct in regular succession, and are directed obliquely around the tube, presenting much the appearance of a continuous spiral valve. When the duct is distended, the spaces between the folds are dilated, so as to give to its exterior a twisted appearance.

When it comes to sex, apparently some people want to be frigid. The Ainscow Spa in Manchester, England, is now offering the Love Mist treatment. For about $50 dollars, they will blast your genitals (male or female) with a subzero (reportedly as low as -160 degrees) liquid nitrogen vapor for 30 minutes. Yes, I repeat, you can pay to have very cold air blown at your genitals. Why oh why...besides trying to make your genitals retreat like a turtle...would you do this? Supposedly, for better sex.
Is this cool or is this nuts? Well, there seems to be a mini-trend of trying to expose your genitals to different weather conditions...for a charge, of course. Remember Gwyneth Paltrow touting the benefits of vaginal steaming? Well, combine the Love Mist with vaginal steaming and maybe you will get a Love Rainfall. What's next, a Love Hail or Love Hurricane?
Basically this sounds like targeted cryotherapy, which I've described previously. Whole-body cryotherapy involves immersing your entire body (e.g., in a tank) in subzero-temperature liquid nitrogen. The Love Mist is genital cryotherapy, focusing on, yes, the things that you normally try to protect. How is it supposed to improve sex? Aren't you supposed to get hot and bothered for sex rather than freezing cold? Well, Hayley Richardson for The Sun writes:
According to the spa, it improves clients' sex drives as "when the sub-zero temperature covers the skin, the sudden drop in heat stimulates the temperature receptors." This then prompts the brain to transmit messages throughout the body so the blood vessels undergo "vasoconstriction." The process produces a quicker blood flow and ramps up endorphin levels, generating a natural high. When it comes to perking up appearance, the spa said: "While the skin continues to feel the 'freeze' the body sends signals back and forth to the brain." These messengers tell the brain if there is damage to the tissues, to repair them. "It's this that along with the instant endorphin level energy boost and natural high, generates a tighter, youthful, clear and vibrant genital skin appearance through boosting collagen."
First of all, damage and genitals are two words that should not go together. The skin around your naughty bits is more sensitive than other parts of your body. That's why they are so naughty. If you think a speculum feels cold during a gynecological exam, how would a blast of subzero air? And what about frostbite? Even if you avoid any injury the first time, it isn't clear what repeated treatments may do and whether they can cause progressive damage to the skin, tissue and even fertility. A search of PubMed reveals no safety studies, short- or long-term. Secondly, where is the scientific proof behind those claimed mechanisms? Sure, cold air can cause vasoconstriction and skin damage. But the "energy boost" and "perking up appearance" claims are questionable. Thirdly, like whole-body cryotherapy, without any formal training, certification process or standards, the effects and safety of the Love Mist could widely vary each time it's used.
This is not to say that such cold air won't get some people excited. After all, there are people who become aroused by statues (agalmatophilia), falling down stairs (climacophilia), feces (coprophilia), fog (nebulophilia), wood (xylophilia)...meaning the kind from trees, and stones (lithophilia). However, until any scientific studies prove otherwise, the benefits of the Love Mist could be mainly psychological, i.e., some people like the feel of cold air of their genitals, just like some people like cold showers or ice cubes on different parts of their bodies. And do you really, really, really want to risk freezing your genitals? Couldn't you just get a nice statue instead?

Terms For Car Rental Services
If you are worried about renting a car, you might have reason to be as there are many variables to consider in making a rental booking. Even though car rental services make it sound easy to make a booking online, there might be hidden costs and the terms and conditions need to be read through carefully before one rents out a car.
Prices of rentals
The first point that matters to all customers is the price for the rental. The price has different significance for different customers. If one is simply opting for Melbourne airport transfers, then it is a one time pickup and drop cost which is usually shown online after computing the distance and time required for the pickup to drop the customer at the stated destination. The rental terms differ when one wishes to take on a self driven car. The term change as per the duration, the make of the car and so forth. Thus, if you wish to self drive a luxury car, it will certainly cost more than an ordinary sedan. However, if you wish for a well cleaned, well maintained vehicle that will allow you to arrive in style at your destination, the difference in the rental price will definitely be worth paying for.
Long term contracts
Even if you are looking at corporate hire cars, some services make it more attractive than others. If you choose a long term contract, there are discounts offered, which makes it feasible and cost effective to arrange for limo services for the executives. For specific airport transfers there are special rates offered on weekly or daily basis that could allow you to save on your rental costs. When you are a long time user of a certain car rental service, they often provide free miles to loyal customers, allowing them to save on their subsequent trips.
Luxury car models
The kind of car you choose will also determine the rate. There are economy segments, mid range and luxury segment cars, and the rates vary accordingly. When you wish to rent a car for a short trip, but wish to arrive in style, you need to be willing to pay the rent difference. For a long trip a luxury vehicle is more economical while for an airport transfer a chauffeur driven limo might be essential for you, no matter what the cost.
Insurance and other terms
There are certain terms that are often not discussed or written in the fine print, which many do not bother to read. If you are opting for a self driven car, the damages that can be sustained in case of an accident need to be covered by an insurance payment. The rental usually includes the insurance as well, but that needs to be clarified. It is also important to look up reviews of past customers as well as ensure that the Melbourne vha cars provider has a valid street address, trade registration, license and other details that can be tracked and located if needed. Usually luxury car providers stress on a reliable image and ensure that customers can approach them with peace of mind about the quality of service.

A month ago, Laryssa began looking for community service opportunities in Orlando. Little did she know that in less than a month's time she would have the most volunteer hours at Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
"I was looking for a way to give back to the community in a meaningful way and fulfill service hour requirements for school and scholarships I'm applying for," explained Laryssa.
After a quick Google search, she found Second Harvest and connected with the mission of feeding people in need. She has previously helped serve Thanksgiving meals to homeless residents in downtown Orlando, so the idea of providing nutritious meals to those in need resonated with her. At Second Harvest, Laryssa signed up to prepare meals and snacks for early learning centers and after school programs, like Kids Cafes, and quickly became a regular face in the kitchen.
About the same time as Laryssa started her stint in the production kitchen, Second Harvest launched a new point system to incentivize its volunteer base. Effective October 10, each hour of volunteer time earns one point. Each week the Top Ten volunteers are recognized on a leaderboard in the volunteer breakroom, but you can log in to your volunteer account to check your status any time.
"We've had several volunteers comment on the new leaderboard," said Mindy Ortiz, director of volunteer services at Second Harvest. "This is a friendly and competitive way for us to recognize our dedicated volunteers."
The next time you volunteer, be sure to check the leaderboard. And if you're here on a weekday afternoon, say hello to Laryssa. She'll gladly show you the ropes.

20 Jun2010
In my quest to make a brilliant pomelo and shrimp salad at home, I decided that each individual component HAD to be the best it could be, and whenever possible, I was going to do it from scratch. First I made some oven roasted peanuts, from freshly purchased nuts, roasted at high heat, then individually skinned, no separate post on that. Then I decided I should make some of our own dried or dessicated coconut, without any added sugar. First of all, if you buy dessicated coconut in say the Metro grocery, it is incredibly sweet, and wickedly expensive (say just under PHP200 for a small bag), then you realize it has an American label, and the darned coconut probably came from here, went there to be packaged and was shipped back here. How ridiculous is that?
So on the weekly market foray by the cook, she obtained a mature coconut, we cracked it open, and I used a melon shredder to make large strips of coconut. Put these on a baking sheet and popped it into a 300F oven until some of the strips were golden brown. One coconut made a LOT of dried or dessicated coconut. And the mature coconut cost some PHP12 or so. Nearly 1/15th the cost of grocery bought, all local, less transport, and tastes more real to boot!
I think the pomelo salad at People's palace that I was trying to replicate used store bought coconut or they minced their dessicated coconut into much smaller bits, so I was hoping this step was going to result in a noticeable difference to the final dish. Now, you wonder, what the heck else can I use this home-dried coconut for. Well, we use it in homemade granola, or you can make a chocolate cake with coconut, they are a wonderful pairing. If you want finer granular dreid coconut, check out the method in the link to the chocolate and coconut cake.
Toasted fine grated coconut is usually sprinkled on our pudding-like desserts such as kalamay mais and maja blanca. It's what they call kerisik in Indonesia and one of its uses is as garnish for beef rendang. For the longest time, I used my zester to produce sparse amounts of fine threads of coconut slowly until I discovered that it is much faster to dislodge the coconut meat from its shell, peel off the dark bark and grate the pieces on a fine vegetable grater. In Brazilian markets, the coconut sellers will do that all for you for next to nothing.

"Now, you wonder, what the heck else can I use this home-dried coconut for"……How about some dark chocolate coated toasted coconut? I used to make them as part of my "nut and chewy" box when I was starting out as a chocolatier in the east coast.
Melt about half a cup of dark chocolate in a bowl, stir, then add about a tablespoon of dried coconut in melted chocolate, coat, drop in grease-proof paper (or silpat, if you have one), repeat process until you have desired quantity. Chill for about 10 minutes in ref, then enjoy your CHOCOLATE MACAROONS!!!!

How about chocolate coated marshmallow rolled in toasted finely grated coconut?Roll the pichi-pichi and palitaw too!How about home made Bucaio?
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to you MM!

I love pomelo and shrimp salad. Tried doing it twice and was really labor intensive when it comes to separating the pomelo 'grains'. I used store bought thai plum sauce and thai fish sauce for flavor and plenty of roasted peanuts and toasted dessicated coconut. Both times it was a hit with my guests. hope you can share your recipe too.
Jun 21, 2010 | 12:05 am
Dear MM, I love visiting your site. I come here everyday and read blogs on your food adventures. I first saw the quince here on your site. The next day I went to Krogger I saw a quince. it look like a pear. Your site has lots of helpful ideas. After I graduate from FCI I will advertise on your site. You have a good one!
Jun 21, 2010 | 1:20 am
Happy Belated Father's day. Anytime I could make my own ingredients I do. I may try this instead of buying grated coconut.
Jun 22, 2010 | 12:39 am
Love this idea for homemade dried coconut. I love to make desserts with it. I saw you on the travel/cooking show with Bobby Chinn. Nice to read your blog. :)
Jun 24, 2010 | 11:02 pm
hi, i stumble into your site when i searched for dried coconut, i crave for coconut bars, the unsweetened or lightly sweetened. Where can i find that here in the Philippines?
i find your site appealing to my appetite :)

Siri on the Mac, specifically, macOS Sierra, can be helpful but may need some time to become useful. Yes, Siri opens apps, switches from app to app, and answers the standard questions we've asked of her for a few years on iPhone, but there are issue to overcome.
Here's an example. I asked Siri on my Mac to call my wife on the phone. My wife has multiple entries and multiple phone numbers in Contacts and Siri seems to get hung up there and always responds with "Which name?" then listing all the available numbers but never selecting the right one. That brought to mind a Mac app I tried out recently. It's called SpeedDial and you can guess from the name what it does. It's like Siri, but with clicks. Oh, unlike Siri, it works every time.
Basically, SpeedDial works this way. It resides in the Mac's Menubar so it's available from within any open application. It handles phone calls through your iPhone with a click, lets you send text messages to favorites or contacts with a click, and even initiates FaceTime calls.
One click to the Menubar drops down the Favorites you use the most often and the icons represent different ways to connect; Messages, Phone Call, FaceTime, etc. Change an entry in Contacts and SpeedDial automatically resets. Set it to automatically open when your Mac starts up.
If you're into dark mode on your Mac, there's a dark mode available to match.
There's just nothing to not like here.
SpeedDial is one of those nifty utilities that's always available, works flawlessly, and if you use your Mac to initiate phone calls on your iPhone, make FaceTime calls, or send text messages through Messages, it's about as useful as functionality can be for less than a couple of bucks.
To make it work, of course, you'll need a recent Mac which can handle the Continuity feature in OS X and macOS Sierra, a nearby iPhone, and have Messages, FaceTime, and Contacts already set up.

Unfortunately for small cannabis business owners, many do not have the huge budget to promote their product or service like a large company or one of those start up public cannabis ventures. However, many of us, as small cannabis business owners, are talented in the work we do and have built a great product or service. But some of us have not received the website traffic we expected.
The disconnect lies in the fact that we may struggle to communicate the value of our cannabis products or services in ways that compel people to buy it. We constantly fall into the traditional marketing trap of thinking we must pressure our customers to buy now, buy now, don't miss out, don't miss out – it is all about me, me, me, me – you can only get this from me.
We have to realize that it is now a global marketplace (with some state "geo-fencing") where our customers can shop around not just in our city, state or country, but anywhere in the world (cbd, hemp).
How about, instead of pressuring our customers, we try working on nurturing and gaining trust from our customers until they are ready to buy from us?
A 2016 Content Preferences Survey Report stated that 47 percent of respondents (B2B) indicated they viewed three to five pieces of content before engaging with a sales rep. In today's cannabis consumer market, it is clearly better and not a waste of your sales reps' time to provide the needed content to answer your consumers' questions and guide them along the buyer's journey. And when they are ready to buy, they would purchase from you because you gained their trust with the expertise and credibility you provided in your content.
To get to this end goal, let us look at the five tips you must understand and work on.
1) What is search engine optimization copywriting?
As we know, search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of growing visibility and gaining traffic for web pages through "organic" (free) search engine results. And copywriting is the process of writing engaging advertising materials. Put them together you have this definition from Copyblogger (one of my favorites):
"SEO copywriting is all about crafting content so compelling that other people want to promote it by linking to it or sharing it, which increases your trust and authority and helps pages you want to rank well for certain keywords."
This definition shows us that SEO copywriting has two main functions:
A. Engaging readers to build trust and authority.
B. Using keywords to help search engines understand what the content is about.
To make this work for your business, SEO copywriting must contain quality content. PERIOD!
2) Keyword research using long-tail keywords.
When we use Google, Bing, Yahoo or any other search engine, what do we do? We type words into the search box to find an answer to our question. Some are short and some are long but search engines can decipher the keywords to find authoritative content that answers our questions.
It takes time and investment for small cannabis businesses to compete with larger cannabis companies that have plenty of traffic and higher trust and authority from search engines on short keywords.
For example: What do you think would be a better keyword for Grow University to target potential students to learn growing there?
Should it be the short keyword phrase, "cannabis growing course", where the university is competing with online courses, webinars, community colleges, etc. for high rankings? Or the long-tail keyword phrase "cannabis grow course for beginning students", where the university has less competition with only other universities?
We highly recommend that you focus on using specific long-tail keywords to gain trust and authority to differentiate yourself and attract better qualified leads who are more interested in buying your product or service.
The cannabis industry is slow to pick this trick up. Using a tool such as Google Keyword Planner, you will be able to find the long-tail keywords that interest your buyer personas and see the competition level and other relevant keywords to use.
You may say that I am only getting around 40 searches or so per month with the keywords, but to our small marketing agency those are the quality leads we are aiming for.
To go more in-depth, you can use more user-friendly tools that will provide you a better recommendation for specific website keywords, or tools that provide you research on your competitors' keywords. Use the information to get started and compete with them, while finding relevant keywords not being used by your competition to stand out.
3) Key elements of SEO copywriting
A. Title
The rule of thumb to remember is to make sure your title provides a clear description and your keywords are contained in it. The keywords are an important factor for search engines to know if a page does contain the information that the consumer searched for.
It is a good bet to keep your titles between 50 to 60 characters to make sure they display properly on your consumer's preferred device.
B. Meta description
The meta description tag on a page does not affect SEO ranking. However, the keywords do show up in the search results that can benefit you.
The keywords in the meta description appear in a search and they are bolded to draw attention. Think of meta descriptions as important secondary information that searchers would read before deciding to click.
C. Content
We can assume that search engines are using top-notch algorithms to verify if the body of your text is relevant to the keywords used in the search. This means that you should play the quality route and provide meaningful content that your visitors are searching for and show them why you are the subject matter expert on this topic.
D. Keyword frequency
Keyword frequency is the number of times a keyword or phrase appears on a page. It is an SEO best practice to only use keywords when relevant and focus more on answering your consumer's question. By practicing keyword stuffing you will force visitors to exit right away, which will increase your bounce rate, and it will be only a matter of time when it will give a negative effect to you in the search engine rankings.
E. Page links
Providing useful links to other relevant topics internally or externally that a visitor can find useful is just another reason why you are an awesome "Good Samaritan" (lol). Knowledge should be shared. You can believe that the search engines are rewarding you for links to quality pages. Keep in mind relevant links because having a page that is about the Best Cannabis Strain and then having an external link to Leafly, just to benefit from their high ranking authority, will not sit well with your visitors or search engines.
4) Writing meaningful content for your buyer personas
A. Buyer personas
If you do not know who your real audience is, can you really create great content? If you want to gain quality authority in rankings you need to not just assume who your audience may be. You need to be able to have buyer personas that explain your customers' problems, roles and concerns to be able to create content that resonates with them.
For example, Joe Smith's cannabis company was hit hard by cannabis remaining federally illegal, and the company turned it around by answering their customers' questions. That has led them to receive the most web traffic in their industry because they know who to write their content for.
By shifting your view of your targeted audience to actual people with specific interests, wants and needs, you will be able to find better ways to serve them.
B. Storytelling
If you want to make content stick in your consumer's head, then tell a great story. We are drawn to stories that allow us to use our imagination, have characters and situations that we can relate to, and think about the possibilities of what may come.
If you think about it, the success of any brand is linked to our emotions. Why do you like Coke over Pepsi, iPhone over Android? It is because of the emotional connections you have with the content that these brands provide you.
C. On-page SEO
The practice of optimizing your web page's' content to rank higher in search engines is called on-page SEO. On-page SEO consists of:
- Title
- Domain name
- Subtitles
- Content
- Internal links
- Image alt text
- Page loading time
- Mobile-friendly pages
Reference Moz's On-Page Factors for best practices when it comes to on-page SEO, and have the keywords in your title and domain name.
5) Allowing outside sources to help increase your rankings
Starting off, over 70 percent of your webpage ranking can be contributed to activities that are performed outside the boundaries of your website, which are called off-page SEO.
A. Off-page SEO
Since search engines strive to provide the best results when a searcher utilizes their service, off-page SEO helps provide search engines with a better indication on how other websites and social users perceive your web pages or blogs. The major factors are:
- Link building. By receiving backlinks to your web page, it is a vote of confidence that tells search engines that others find your web page relevant. The more backlinks you receive, the higher your page will rank. Reference Jeff Bullas' "6 Simple Tips to Rank High in Google Search Engine" article about ways to receive quality backlinks.
- Social media engagement. Social shares are a sign of popularity amongst the general public. Search engines are now using social engagement as one of its ranking parameters.
- Online reputation management. Having low-quality backlinks can affect your ranking. It is a part of your job to remove them. You can use Google Search Console to see other websites linking to your website and use the Disavow Links tool to remove any low-quality sites.
For legal reasons, make sure your off-page SEO activities follows "white hat" SEO practices (using SEO strategies, techniques and tactics that focus on a human audience as opposed to search engines, and completely follows search engine rules) and not "black hat" SEO practices that can get you penalized.
If you take the time to do research and provide quality long-tail keywords and content that interest your buyer personas, answer their questions and drive people to promote and share your content – you will sooner rather than later start seeing the pages of your cannabis business get ranked higher on search engines. By ranking well in search engines, you will increase your organic traffic without having to spend a lot on paid advertising to compete with your competitors.
Yes, link building does make up the majority of SEO ranking and allows you to reach out to a wider audience. However, if you put your efforts in providing great content and promoting it correctly, I am 100 percent sure that "they (increased organic web traffic) will come."
If you follow these five steps that I've outlined above, you will see increased organic traffic and ranking for your web page's content.

Let's talk about something I don't want to talk about. That sounds fun, right?
I come from a long line of anxiety-ers. Anxieters? People deal with Anxiety in different ways. Some people take pills, other people meditate, it all depends on the person. For example, I have less anxiety when I'm exercising on a regular basis. Right now I'm having, well, I guess one could call it a flare-up. I even had an anxiety attack this week.
Let me explain to you what an anxiety attack feels like to me. I mean, I don't know what else to call it. All last week, I could feel it building and building. I figured it would just go away. I figured wrong. Because sometimes I just start thinking about billsdogsdeathdinnercookinggroceryshoppingstudentloansjobsemploymentinsurancechildrenhousescats. And I couldn't stop. Anxiety, is a giant, black, misty-looking balrog-type creature that stands up behind me, and slowly brings his hands down onto my shoulders, and starts to pull me apart. The depression I've been dealing with stems from my anxiety, but I definitely don't want to talk about that, that's a totally different monster. Anyways, I was doing the dishes. My husband made an innocent (no really, it was)comment and all of a sudden my chest tightened so fast that it hurt to breathe. I just stood there, water running, dirty dish in my hand, taking deep breaths. I put the dish down, made myself some tea, and put some lavender essential oil on and kept breathing. (That's the key, breathe)
Sometimes, you feel trapped in your own head, with your thoughts spinning around you in incoherent run-on sentences. I'm a writer, I have enough thoughts in my head, thank you very much. I keep a lot of the incoherent babbling in check by coaching myself. Well, my own kind of coaching. If I start worrying about bills, I remind myself where I was last year, and how much better off I am this year. Also, I say things like "just move forward", "Stop being a whiny baby and get it done", "Let this go and move on. Just move. MOVE", and most importantly "If you're still breathing, you aren't done. Get your shit together." I should really be a life coach.
This week was hard. I'm not going to sugar coat it. I wanted to quit my job, for no reason, other than I felt overwhelmed with my life. Life can be overwhelming. But we do it. There's a saying in the Christian faith, that I seriously hate: If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it. Well, sometimes you get there because you're an idiot. Sometimes you get there because you thought you didn't need to listen in the first place. If someone in your life, or your congregation, tells you that they have anxiety, maybe you should pray for them, and also do their laundry. People with anxiety, sometimes just need to know they aren't alone. Clearly, they are dealing with some things that they probably don't want to talk about, so don't make them. Just listen when they need to and shut your trap. (that goes for me also, I can't ever shut my mouth)
As previously stated, and because I believe I'm one of the cool kids I'm a writer. I take things that bother me and I turn them into stories. I take anxiety and turn it into a defeatable monster. I take my depression and tell it to go straight to the hell it came from.( I also make up my own words. Take that Shakespeare.)
If you are currently dealing with anxiety or depression. Please don't be a me. Get someone you can talk to.
Some days, a pen is just a pen. Other days, you click it, and a sword comes out.
Whatever tries to kill me, had better run.
Peace, Love, Chocolate,

Karla's Kolumn: Another great season of AGT
That's right, you can tell by the headline that it's time for the annual AGT column.
September 22, 2018
As you know America's Got Talent or AGT for short, has become a favorite pastime for me during the summer, which works to the advantage of my husband, who due to his work schedule can avoid it for the most part. He does not share my enthusiasm for the show.
Every singer that comes on he says the same thing, "Don't give up your day job." And, he'd be right on many of them. They had quite a variety of singers this year, trios and duos and young and old, some talented and some not as talented.
The singers who advanced to the finals most definitely deserved it and there were contrasti...

Fun With Search Engines #126: Absence Makes The Heart Something Something
It is time once again for Fun With Search Engines, the ever popular site feature that dies and then comes back again, kinda like Jesus… or herpes. This is where I take a look at some of the search terms that brought visitors to the site. This FWSE report is for the six week period beginning March 23rd and ending May 3rd. As always, these are all real searches. Here we go…
1. arnold's best movie - Batman and Robin! Oh wait, you said BEST.
2. top 100 site list - Heh, SydLexia.com only shows up on Top 100 Site lists in my dreams.
3. sydlexia image dump - Indeed, I do have an image dump.
4. link to the past game genie code for hammer - CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER! Also, there doesn't seem to a Game Genie code that gives you the hammer. However, the code AEA8-D4FA will let you move vertically through any obstacle.
5. really good snes games - You might find some here.
6. nes game with two soldiers - What the fuck, dude? Could you be any more vague? Since the only two player NES game where you play as soldiers that I like is Contra, I'm gonna say Contra. It's probably not Contra though, because everyone knows that Contra fucking rules.
7. what type of music does hulk hogan like - Rock, especially classic rock.
8. what robot master are you - If you're between the ages of 13 and 20, then YOU ARE CUTMAN. Go cut yourself, you emo bastard.
9. james bond movies jumped the shark - That's a hard claim to make. The original Ian Fleming novels were very pulpish in nature and they only sold because they were filled with sex and exploitative Cold War violence. So when the source material is rather cheesy, it's hard to criticize the movies for being even cheesier. But cheesy or not, Bond is still awesome. Well, except in The World Is Not Enough… that was boring as hell.
10. g-rated movies where the mom and dad fuck - Uh… WHAT?
11. 8 ball of cocaine - Where do I sign up?
12. zelda bushes - I really hope this search was referring to the bushes in A Link To The Past and not something dirty and gross.
13. scientology mission to mars - Oh please. Scientology can't even make a decent movie, so I seriously doubt they can successfully send people to Mars.
14. jokes involving fat people but in a good way - Well, there's that popular internet meme with the fat kid in a t-shirt that says "I BEAT ANOREXIA".
15. whats the point of friday the thirteenth nes game - It's survival horror. The point is to keep at least one counselor alive, protect at least one camper, and reduce Jason's life total to zero on all three days.
16. cartoon cat lived in a plane in a junkyard - That would be Riff-Raff.
17. best vagina ever - I'm not in the business of rating vaginas. If you really want to find the "best vagina ever", you'll have to check out RateMyVagina.com and see which vagina has the highest rating. Sadly, this isn't a joke; RateMyVagina.com is a very real site.
18. cyveillance - They're all bark and no bite.
19. How a scorpion moves - Um… it has legs?
20. mutoid man scarface - What is Smash TV? I'll take Video Game Bosses for $800, Alex.
21. sindel and scorpion fucking mk hentai - I bet that Sindel doesn't like having her hair pulled.
22. rapper with a creepy child voice - The Horrorist, maybe?
23. i hate boss battles - Then go play Brain Age.
24. sid lexia - Sid Lexia isn't a clever name at all.
25. interesting stuff about vigina on a map - That's either a slight misspelling of "vagina" or an embarrassingly bad misspelling of "Virginia". Either way, it's a dumb search.
26. play nes monopoly for free - Play real Monopoly, it's a lot less tedious.
27. brinks scare tactics - The Brinks Home Security commercials are a prime example of scare tactics. No one is going to attempt to rob your house in broad daylight, let alone when you are home. However, just because Brinks presents grossly atypical burglary situations in their commercials doesn't mean that a home security system isn't a good buy.
28. season 6 - Of what?
29. superbook forums - There is no television show that deserves its own forum less than Superbook.
30. can christianity and evolution coexist - The short answer is yes. If you want the longer version, ask the pope.
31. james comron aliens - A note to all directors, both current and aspiring: if you stop making movies, people will stop caring about whether or not they came anywhere close to spelling your last name correctly.
32. i hate alex vincent - That's okay, I hate Vincent D'Onofrio.
33. what does orange mean in the small blob - I don't understand the question.
34. larissa oleynik suicide - Larisa Oleynik is not dead. She's also not married, which is awesome. From my perspective, anyway… I don't know how happy she is about that.
35. the long fatality code - That sounds like a film noir.
36. why do americans hate bollywood - Americans don't hate Bollywood. Hell, most Americans don't even know what Bollywood is. I do think, however, that most Americans familiar with Bollywood do find it to be incredibly silly and trivial. But disrepect and condescension are both very different from hatred.
37. can't open garage door in maniac mansion - Use the Hunk-O-Matic a couple of times. It's in Cousin Ted's room.
38. how to beat bubble bobble - Defeat the Super Drunk!
39. i have the pussy i make the rules - Only if you're Blofeld.
40. what are the best nes games - The best NES games are the ones you fondly remember playing back in the day.
41. who was that little boy that hulk hogan picked up - When? Where? NARROW IT DOWN!
42. don't be a smartass - DON'T BE A TUNA HEAD!
This FWSE has ended. Go in peace to love and serve pop culture.
P.S. erin esurance smoking hot naked fucking sex hentai

Good thing you didn't wait an extra week, or else you would have had to kill yourself as implied in FWSE #124.

Owners of The Patio restaurant group are hoping for approval from Civic San Diego of its application to build a 126-square-foot pedestrian plaza in front of its Harvest by the Patio eatery, at 369 10th Avenue (at J Street) in East Village. There are no parklets in that area currently.
Parklets started in the U.S. in San Francisco some years ago, and the first one probably wasn't legal. Some residents took a parking space, and turned it into a tiny park with plants and seating. That idea caught on and has spread worldwide to many urban areas, including San Diego's North Park and University Heights neighborhoods.
CivicSD assistant planner James Alexander explained the difference between sidewalk cafes and pedestrian plazas. "Sidewalk cafes are when tables and chairs are placed in the public right-of-way on the sidewalk; pedestrian plazas (a fairly new addition to the San Diego Municipal Code) are public seating/spaces in vehicular areas of the public right-of-way."
Pedestrian plazas require a neighborhood development permit from CivicSD, which costs $1,421. Although it would be in the street, Alexander said that "we are not losing a space here, because it is being placed in an existing red zone."
While a decision was expected last week, there's been a delay, according to Alexander. "We received some comments from neighbors and the Padres expressing concerns about safety with traffic on that street, Tenth Avenue, during game days," said Alexander. "Civic San Diego has been waiting on making a decision in order to consult other City departments about these safety concerns. The delay has also allowed the Applicant to submit for concurrent building permit processing...so that the final permit reflects the final design of the pedestrian plaza."
An email from Julia Baker, director of marketing/food and beverage at American National Investments, said: "The Patio Restaurant Group strives to create a positive experience for all of our guests through outstanding food, service, and ambiance. We have just entered the beginning stages of planning an outdoor dining experience for Harvest. As of right now, we do not have an estimate on cost, or a time frame to provide."
Moniker Warehouse
705 16th Street, East Village
The only other parklet downtown is located in front of Moniker Warehouse, at 16th and G streets. Moniker Warehouse is an ongoing, multipurpose arts and creative center, and an events venue at night.
Harvest's pedestrian plaza was designed by Lahaina Architects, which also designed The Patio on Lamont in Pacific Beach, and The Patio on Goldfinch in Mission Hills. Their other many projects include ArcLight Cinemas and the SDSU Tennis Facility.
East Village is mostly park-deprived. But in East Village there is the much-larger Park at the Park, adjacent to Petco Park. When games are not going on, the Park at the Park is free to all.

No, my reconstructed calendar is still luni-solar, albeit different to modern luni-solar ones. (49 yr cycle rather that 19 yr cycle) I only mentioned the 364-day Qumran solar calendar to make my point that people in those days were trying to find the original system. It was there to be found and they tried, but never got it right. (only my opinion admittedly.) One of the DSS translaters, Jean Carmignac, got an approximate reconciliation with the 364-days plus intercalation, but it never explained the lunar side of things.DCHindley wrote: Ged,
I was misunderstanding where you were coming from with the calendar. So, if my take from an initial skim of the paper is correct, you think you have come up with the manner by which a 364 day calendar was kept in tune with the seasons.
The paper has been downloaded & I will take a closer look later.
All the best with my download paper.

Date & Time: Friday, 10 October 2014, 6-7:30 PM
Venue: Djam Lecture Theatre (DLT), SOAS
Speakers: Greg Mills, author & Director of the Brenthurst Foundation; Professor Stephen Chan, Department of Politics and International Studies, SOAS; Lieutenant General Sir Nicholas Patrick Carter, Senior British Army officer; Richard Dowden, Director of the Royal African Society; Johnny Clegg, musician and anthropologist.
State failure takes many forms. Somalia offers one extreme. A collapse of central authority as the outcome of a prolonged civil war, where authority descends into competing factions - headed by warlords - around the spoils of local commerce, power and international aid. At the other end of the scale is Malawi. During President Bingu's second term in office, the country's economy collapsed as a result of poor policies and personalised politics. On the surface, save the petrol queues, it was stable; underneath, the polity was fractured, the economy broken.
Between these two extremes of state failure are all manner of examples. Drawing on research in more than thirty countries, incorporating interviews with a dozen leaders, Greg Mills disaggregates state failure and identify instances of recovery in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
Join the author and a panel of experts as they discuss key questions tackled in this book; how do countries recover, and what roles ought insiders and outsiders play to aid that process? With a musical performance by Johnny Clegg.
This event has been organised in collaboration with the School of Oriental and African Studies, the Brenthurst Foundation and Hurst Publishers.
Places are limited for this event, to attend this and all other Royal African Society events you must first register on the website here. After which you will be able to register for free to this and all other events.
