I would like to discuss the above point in a little more detail, and will discuss other points from the registration agreement in subsequent posts.
First of all, while "we do not actively monitor the contents of this BB," I do try to check on what is happening here as often as I possibly can each day.
I have two ways that I do that. First of all, the BB software emails me each a copy of each post as it goes up on the forum, and I usually read through the emails before actually going to the forum website.
Second, if I see a post in email that may indicate a need for a response from me, I will go directly to that topic (the email provides a link), and I may respond to a post before going on to read the rest of the posts in that topic without waiting to read the rest of the emails.
I may then go back to the emails and continue reading them as the posts went up on the forum, or I may move to other areas on the forum and read posts that way. I eventually go back to make sure I've read all the emails, and thereby all of the posts.
One of the things that happens with this way of doing things, is that I may respond to something without having read what others have said between the post and my response. I have recently seen where that can create misunderstandings, so I will now watch out for that before I respond to any post.
quote: Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.
The software for this website is set up so that emails can be sent directly to me, but email is not infallible, nor is software, and there have been people who have not been able to get through to me by email.
If I have not responded to an email (either by an emailed reply or by posting or by dealing with objectionable messages in a topic in some way), please post a message in the topic saying that you've sent email and don't think I received it.
Also, while I have the ability to edit posts, I have only used that to cut "13-lines" that are actually longer than 13 lines. I prefer not to edit people's posts unless they ask me to.
I will delete double-posts as I find them, and I will delete objectionable posts, though I try to warn people first. I have also closed topics that have turned into flame wars and deleted posts in those topics. I really don't like to do this, however, and have probably erred in not deleting or editing or closing when some have felt that I should have done so.
This workshop is for those 18 and older, and I like to hope that people here can behave as adults and not need to have me deleting or editing their posts or closing topics.

But I have learned that at times people may feel insulted or defamed when that was not the intent, according to my reading at least, of the post.
Again, I may have erred on the side of inaction and have allowed things to get out of hand by not responding as quickly to a situation as some would have liked.
On occasion, I have recruited a First Assistant and a Second Assistant to help me keep an eye on things, and their intervention has, at times, not been appreciated (by others, anyway--I REALLY appreciate their efforts).
Please be aware that not everyone understands what you mean when you post something, and be careful how you post it.
Please also be aware that you may not understand what someone has posted correctly and that what you read was not what they meant. If at all possible, reword what they posted and ask something like "did you intend to say this?" before reacting on a potential misunderstanding and risking turning it into a flamewar.
Because of the relative anonymity of the online community, there are those out there who find entertainment by stirring up contention in online discussions. They are known by such terms as "troll" or "energy creature" (as in, one who feeds off of negative energy generated by flamewars).
We try very hard to watch out for potential energy creatures and keep them from participating on the Hatrack River Writers Workshop forum, but there are times when a regular participant has had a particularly bad day, or week, or month, and will take some of that out on others who are also relatively anonymous.
Then, we may see someone begin to "troll" because, as the saying goes, misery often does love company.
Whatever the reason, when you see someone post something that "pushes your buttons" whatever they may be, please stop and think before responding. If you feed an "energy creature" by letting yourself be manipulated into getting angry, you only make the "energy creature" bigger--you are doing exactly what they want you to do.
The best way to respond when you think someone is trolling, is to ignore them, and email me. If you think your email may not be getting through, please post a request for my attention:

I appreciate any help anyone can give me in keeping the Hatrack River Writers Workshop an interesting, useful, and helpful place for aspiring writers to learn and grow and share their experiences. Thank you for all you all do to make it that way.

This morning, I was using my wonderful Nexus 7 as I usually do, when it briefly flashed a low battery warning and promptly shut down. I promptly plugged it in and was able to get it to restart… once. The battery showed that it still has a 19% charge, I unlocked the tablet and it shut down after just a second or two. All the while, Chrome was slowly updating. Every few minutes now I can get it to power on for a few seconds, with Chrome still plugging away. When it's not willing to turn on and it's plugged in, there are these pinpricks of white against the black of the screen, like of like the lead in on an old VHS tape before it actually started playing. I haven't been able, in those brief periods of activity, to get to the Play App and cancel the download, which is really the only thing I can think to do at this point. I was just able to get it into charging while off, so that's at least some vague progress; I'll at least have a fully charged paperweight.
I haven't seen any other reports of this, so I can't tell if this is my crummy luck or if something has gone horribly awry with this update. I'm not sure where else to look, but as this is my go-to for Android news, I figured this would be a good place for Android advice. Anyone have any?

OBSD 4.3 Customize site43 & install.site problems
I am trying to get a custom installation of OpenBSD 4.3 going, and I am just having issues. What I did was copy the main install cd's files and then added to that my site43.tgz file, with an included install.site script. After that, I created a bootable iso from the files, and burn it, install, all goes normally.
The install is totally normal, it doesn't run my script. All the packages that were in the site43.tgz are just sitting in the root directory of my install, uninstalled! The script was obviously not run. What am I missing here?
I do custom installations with a local ftp server, much more easier then from a CD.
In your install.site script you will have to use pkg_add to add the packages.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
Yes, I get that
Thanks for the help, but I wasn't clear:
Yeah, I understand the fact that I should put those lines in the install.site. Actually, that is all that is in there right now, just the pkg_add lines, as I am simply trying to get it going as a proof of concept (it was a little more extensive, but I edited it down to commands that I knew would work). The script works, no doubt about it, as I can run it as soon as the install is done and it works perfectly. It just doesn't run by default. It is just sitting there in the / directory when I reboot the machine after the install. As soon as I login for the first time I can run the script and it works.
As to the ftp, I know that that would be the easiest way to provide it, but the problem is my boss wants CDs to hand out to our distributed computing areas. Eventually, I may be able to convince him to change to a ftp service (way easier on our end) but right now, he wants an iso.
So I am trying to it that way, and am thinking that maybe it has to do with my file structure, or maybe permissions? I put the site43.tgz in the 43/i386 directory, and tarzipped it with tar -czvf options, if that helps. Thanks again!
The install.site script will be run at the end of the install after you configured the time zone. Not when you reboot the computer
Ftp is a more environment friendly way to experiment with a customized install then burning an ISO each time. After you figured everything out and everything is working OK from a local ftp server, only then you burn your CD.
I use custom installs by using bsd.rd and a serial console to log everything. I also use tee to provide a log of all output produced by the install.site script.
BTW your tar command is missing the p option to preserve the permissions. The script needs root ownership and execute permissions.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
Thanks for those pointers. I think that I will try to get my installs going via ftp until I am reasonably sure that they will work with a cd iso.
Even with the -p option in place, I don't see my install.site script working. These are the direct contents, maybe I am missing something obvious:
pkg_add libiconv
pkg_add gettext
pkg_add vim
pkg_add nano
pkg_add pftop
pkg_add bash
I stripped it down, just because it wasn't working. The various packages are in the same directory.
I know that it should run near the last stages of the install, but it simply does not. What does happen, is the contents of the site43.tgz are simply dumped into my root directory: nice, but not at all what I wanted. Ie, if, from the initial reboot after the install, I can use these commands:
cd /
sh install.site
and everything runs, etc. All the changes that I want (at this point as you can see, I am just settling for files) are then performed.
There are no folders in the zipped file, there were, but I took them out on the off chance that that was causing it not to work. I would really love to get this custom install going, I love the OpenBSD project, I love its ability to be a transparent firewall, but maybe I am just being obtuse about something, missing something basic. Thanks for all the help so far! Has somebody actually done this that could give a quick and dirty way that they got it working? Thanks again!
cd / ./install.site
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
I use a Makefile to customize my installs for each different box. My install.site script is just a wrapper for the install.site.${BOX} script. A snippet from that Makefile
install.site: install.site.${BOX} @echo --- Creating ${.TARGET} @echo "#!/bin/sh" >${.TARGET} @echo ". ./install.site.${BOX} 2>&1 | tee ./install.report" >>${.TARGET} @chmod u+x ${.TARGET} install.site.${BOX}: ${SCRIPT} @echo --- Creating ${.TARGET} @cat ${.ALLSRC} >${.TARGET}
#!/bin/sh . ./install.site.protogoras 2>&1 | tee ./install.report
Note the chmod u+x command to make the file executable.
The following is what I use to add packages
# --- configure shared library cache with code stolen from "/etc/rc" if [ -f /sbin/ldconfig ]; then echo 'creating runtime link editor directory cache.' if [ -d /usr/local/lib ]; then shlib_dirs="/usr/local/lib $shlib_dirs" fi if [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib ]; then shlib_dirs="/usr/X11R6/lib $shlib_dirs" fi ldconfig $shlib_dirs fi # --- export PKG_PATH="ftp://mirror.hostfuss.com/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386/" export PKG_CACHE=/home/packages mkdir -p ${PKG_CACHE} PACKAGES="fetchmail-6.3.8p0.tgz ghostscript-8.54p1-a4-no_x11.tgz a2ps-4.13bp4-a4.tgz apsfilter-7.2.8p0.tgz courier-imap-4.1.1p2.tgz " echo Installing the following packages from $PKG_PATH echo $PACKAGES | tr ' ' '\n' echo ------------------------------------------------- pkg_add -v $PACKAGES
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
Great! Thanks A Ton
Thanks for all your help J65nko!
I finally got it working with your advice, I knew it was going to be something simple that I was just missing (in this case, for your info, it was chmod, totally forgot about doing that before I would actually go ahead and zip it up). But not only did I finally get the problem that I needed solved, I got a bunch of other good advice, that I am putting into practice.
Thanks again

Flexibility to use direct modeling in parametric environment solves design challenges, increases design agility for Japanese Toy Manufacturer
NEEDHAM, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 12, 2013 — PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC) announced today that Bandai Co., Ltd, a leading Japanese toy manufacturer, has adopted PTC Creo® design software for its product design solution. PTC Creo will be used to develop Bandai products, including Bandai's signature Super Sentai brand. The Super Sentai characters have been translated to the internationally well known "Power Rangers" brand, which is broadcast in more than 60 countries worldwide.
The Bandai Boys' Toy group standardized on PTC's Pro/ENGINEER® design software for product design in 2006. Bandai also implemented Pro/ENGINEER for mold design, enabling the product design and mold design teams to exchange data directly and accelerate their processes. In 2011, Bandai's Boys' Toy group deployed PTC Creo to take advantage of PTC Creo's direct modeling capabilities in a traditional parametric environment, free-style modeling, and the compatibility between PTC Creo and its legacy CAD tools and imported CAD data. Bandai felt that PTC Creo offered superior capabilities in five areas critical to Bandai's success: base model design, part modeling, assembly modeling, drafting and specification sheet generation. Bandai also felt that the use of PTC Creo would help improve collaboration with its overseas factories and group companies.
Bandai also recognized that in order to achieve its goals, it needed to increase design agility in its development process. The need for increased design agility in product development is a common challenge facing today's manufacturers. In a recent study on design agility by PTC, 37.9% of surveyed users said that on a recent project, they experienced dramatic or multiple last-minute changes. Further, Chad Jackson, founding Industry Analyst, Lifecycle Insights, notes, "Engineering and design is all about iteration, exploration and discovery. As product designs progress, more design agility is needed to meet the fast-paced demands of development." (CAD and the Need for Design Agility, ebook)
PTC Creo provides Bandai with the flexibility to use both direct and parametric modeling approaches for product design. By allowing parametric feature-based models to be changed with direct modeling techniques and enabling the changes to be recorded in the parametric model, PTC Creo helps reduce the impact of late stage design changes and helps increase design agility.
"The Boys' Toy group has never been afraid of change and aggressively pursued 3D CAD systems initiatives." said Takahiro Mizuno, General Manager, Boys' Toy Department, Bandai. "PTC Creo has enabled us to make last-minute changes quickly through the integration of parametric and direct modeling approaches, leading to reduced time to production and improved efficiency. As a result, we are now able to spend more time on engineering and improve the quality of our products."
"We are honored that Bandai has adopted PTC Creo as its enterprise design software solution," said Hiroaki Kuwahara, President, PTC Japan. "PTC is dedicated to helping its customers achieve product and service advantage by providing best-in-class technology solutions like PTC Creo. We look forward to helping the Bandai team achieve success with its 3D CAD initiatives and continue to deliver great products."
The PTC Creo implementation and technical support for Bandai are provided by Hitachi Solutions, a PTC Channel partner.
The announcement of a customer's implementation, deployment or adoption of PTC software is not necessarily indicative of the timing or amount of revenue from such engagement or of the Company's overall revenue for any particular period.

The Fifties finish
Added Jul 3, 2011
London, United K...
I'm afraid I didn't make this gorgeous dress myself – someone else did that before I was born; but I did put an awful lot of work into it!
This was an impulse purchase from a 'vintage' shop – Beyond Retro – that just happened to be located next to the international bookshop I was patronising at the time. I went in to see what it was like: what I discovered was rows and rows of 'day' dresses, literally hundreds of them, in precisely the style I like to wear and in my size. I was tempted… and I fell. Crucially, the prices were just within my twenty-pound limit. I told myself I could buy one dress, and I picked this one because of the attractive print and because of the silky feel of the fabric (too many of the others were too obviously nylon: I'm sure this is artificial, but it feels pleasant to wear).
I'm not sure about the date; it carries no label, and is clearly home-made from the state of the internal seams (wherein the work!) I've assumed that it's probably 1950s, and I'm guessing that it was worn once only, made for a specific occasion to a very tight deadline, and that the wearer simply ran out of time: the skirt seams and shoulder seams were finished, the vertical bodice seams were not. At all.
In fact, after I'd worn it only once, the inside was already beginning to fray quite badly (pic 2). The side seams hadn't been trimmed at all, and had two-inch wedges of fabric dangling off them (pic 3); conversely, the princess seams up the front of the bodice had simply been clipped off raw extremely close to the stitching line (pic 4) without any allowance for fraying, let alone any scope for subsequent finishing off. As for the waist, it had simply been sewn rapidly together with the seam allowances often twisted one way at the waist and the other way at the other end of the seam, making it quite impossible to get a flat finish thereafter even if the seamstress had had time.
So the very first thing I found myself doing was picking open seams – at the waist involving two or three rows of stitching – re-folding seam allowances, and sewing these sections back up again individually by hand. Luckily I don't have a sewing machine, so I would have been sewing them up by hand anyway: not an intimidating prospect!
In the local haberdashery department, I discovered the existence of black satin bias binding, which (at a premium) gave a lovely slippery finish that matched the inside of the dress, and used this to bind up the raw edges of all the multiple seams around the waist (pic 5): I had just enough left to do the armholes as well, but not only would it have come rather expensive to do all the other six bodice seams this way, it would also have been rather bulky. So, since I now had too much fabric in some places and not enough in others, I improvised….
I cut the wide strips of spare material off from the side seams and from the gusset inserted under the sleeves (pic 6), leaving just enough seam allowance to turn over and fell down the raw edges remaining using the tiniest stitches possible. I folded over and felled down all three seams (pic 7) along the length of each sleeve (which again involved a certain amount of unpicking and re-stitching to get them to lie flat on top of one another, as they had been machined down hastily in all different directions!)
Then I used these 'spare' offcuts of matching cloth to cover over the fraying edges of the four princess seams, where there was not enough fabric left for any kind of finish. They had been made with a row of top-stitching on the outside, so I hand-stitched my half-inch strip as accurately as possible over the actual seam line, 1/8" from the edge (pic 8), then turned under 1/8" on the other edge of the strip and felled it down over the raw edge of the seam, creating a quarter-inch binding all along the curved line of the inside bodice edges. It wasn't strictly 'bias' binding because my strips were perforce cut on the straight grain; but the seams were so narrow that they went round the curves fairly easily.
This is the part that does show through from the right side of the garment, as a slight bulky gathering parallel to the top-stitching; but I think it shows less than bias binding the whole thing. Fortunately the print is so bold and the little line of black hem-stitches so tiny that it really isn't detectable from any great distance: anyhow, if anyone should be peering in close-up at that particular portion of my anatomy, they might have some explaining to do!
Even after all these hours of hand-finishing there was still one further problem: some of the curved seams had been clipped so deeply that the cuts on the inside extended past the first line of stitching and approached the second. I couldn't make my strips wide enough to cover these raw edges intersecting the seam itself, so first I had to put in tiny flat darns (pic 9) in the double thickness of the fabric to mend the slits… 'tiny' being a relative term when you consider the quantity of thread that has to be woven into a cross-hatch of fresh cloth over and around the damaged area! Properly speaking I should have used finer threads, pulled from the garment itself: but I didn't have any more bits accessible to easily cannibalise, or sewing needles quite that fine.
I have to say that I've done better darns on other repairs; but being on the inside of the seam allowance, these are quite invisible. And the dress is now, finally, washable without further disintegration, which is what matters.
Of course before I could wear it in earnest, I had to make a net petticoat to give body to the skirt; but that was another story….

I am thoroughly impressed. I machine sew well enough, but my hand-sewing skills are lackluster, and I'm short on patience to learn. You must have the patience of a saint.

Thank you; I'm a hand-knitter, so I'm used to projects that take months!
The worst thing about hand sewing is that it's so difficult to unpick when you make a mistake, compared to a machined seam which just unravels.

This is a verry nice dress, and with all the work you have put in the finishing it will be a double pleasure to wear it!!!

I think I've worn it three times so far, all happy occasions; the trouble is it's so memorable that you can't really get away with appearing twice in it at the same venue!

Taking the Infowar to a whole new level
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Friday, March 4, 2011
With Hillary Clinton this week admitting that the US military-industrial complex and the globalists are losing the information war to alternative media outlets that cover "real news," Alex Jones is taking the Infowar to a whole new level by invading Twitter with a fresh culture jamming offensive designed to bring the truth to millions more people all over the world.
Twitter has gone from being a playful social networking tool to becoming the vanguard for political movements worldwide and a thorn in the side of the globalists who have desperately sought to hijack the medium by activating armies of fake CENTCOM social profiles to spam propaganda, not just in America but around the world in Farsi and Arabic.
Despite dominating the likes of You Tube with approaching 100 million views on one channel alone, as well as Facebook, MySpace and Alexa, not to mention Google Trends which we have successfully topped on dozens of separate occasions, the Infowar has yet to take Twitter by storm and we urgently need to redress that balance with the aid of our fantastic supporters.
To understand how quickly a new meme can invade and take over Twitter, just look at the reaction Charlie Sheen was able to generate when he signed up to use the networking tool. After less than a week, Sheen already has over 1.5 million followers, and he attracted 1 million of them in just one day. Contrary to reports, it was not solely CNN host Piers Morgan that convinced Sheen to sign up to Twitter this past weekend. During a visit to Sheen's home more than three weeks ago, Alex Jones convinced the actor to start his own Twitter account.
But Jones is guilty of not following his own advice – Infowars has a Twitter account at http://Twitter.com/realalexjones – but we've hardly even promoted it, let alone used it in the Infowar to start viral hash tags or indeed invade those memes already circulating with the message of truth.
That's all about to change in a dramatic way – we are launching a new offensive in the Infowar to literally invade Twitter with the truth about the new world order and the myriad of issues we face as a society, not by competing with the drivel served up by the establishment entertainment industry, but by hijacking it and using the establishment's own weapons against them to reach new people as we were successful in doing via Jones' appearance on The View and the whole Charlie Sheen bandwagon over the course of the last eight days.
We are looking to achieve at least 100,000 Twitter followers within the next week, and will use that as a platform from which to launch our new offensive.
This effort is particularly crucial at this moment in time given the fact that Google is openly trying to use its new algorithm to block out and stifle alternative media websites, while favoring establishment corporate media websites that can afford to pay hundreds or thousands of employees to produce original content, never mind the fact that that content comprises of a mere parroting of the establishment status quo.
Obviously this will manifest itself with us using Twitter to tell people about guests on the Alex Jones Show as well as information posted on our websites, but moreover we are looking to use Twitter as a tool for organizing activism out on the streets.
Therefore we encourage all the great Infowarriors out there to help us in this mission by 'following' the Infowars Twitter page at http://Twitter.com/realalexjones and sending the tweet that Alex Jones is invading Twitter! We also encourage people to Google search the term "Alex Jones Twitter" to help us achieve this goal.
Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for Prison Planet.com. He is the author of Order Out Of Chaos. Watson is also a fill-in host for The Alex Jones Show. Watson has been interviewed by many publications and radio shows, including Vanity Fair and Coast to Coast AM, America's most listened to late night talk show.

In the course of recent seasons, an average of 7'000 international ski competitions, including 330 FIS World Cup events were staged per year, in addition to several thousand national competitions – record numbers of which FIS is justifiably very proud.
Across all our disciplines, the magnificent FIS World Championships for the most part enjoy excellent conditions in the northern hemisphere. More pleasing still are the signs of interest in skiing among the younger generation, which gives us good cause to regard this year as a year of real progress. On the other side of the coin, we have stagnating snowboard and ski equipment sales; lower average viewing figures for the events that were broadcast on TV; long-term climatic changes and the fear of what this will bring; declining numbers of leisure skiers at grassroots level; and in many places a slowdown in the development of resorts.
While there is no real reason for panic, we do need to recognise that the next few years will be challenging, and we need adapt in order to halt and reverse the current negative trends.
One of the initiatives that will play a key part in safeguarding the future of our sport is surely the FIS Bring Children to the Snow project, which is now enjoying more and more success and recognition on a global level. On FIS World Snow Day 2017 mid-January, more than 450 different initiatives were organised in 46 countries.
And we should also mention the modifications and permanent improvements that have been made to the competition formats across our various disciplines. These are helping our sport to engage with the younger generation through a variety of major events, and not just high-level sporting competitions but also those which are focused on mass participation, true festivals of skiing where the public have the opportunity to try the sport out for themselves.
In the future, our sport cannot and must not be solely focused on organising commercially successful competitions at the elite level; we need to be prioritising efforts to promote widespread participation at all levels.
FIS is not the only organisation with objectives and plans along these lines. This is an area that all, or at least almost all, sports – and not just Olympic ones – are currently having to address. We are witnessing an extremely hard fought struggle to gain maximum leverage from sport, and participation in sport, whether it is in order to raise public interest levels or – and this is more common – for commercial and political gain.
FIS will be monitoring these developments closely and actively; we will not miss any opportunities, and will address head on those problems that we cannot afford to ignore.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution selected two veteran MLS players in today's Stage 2 of the 2012 Re-Entry Process, choosing LA Galaxy forward Chad Barrett in the first round (fourth overall pick) and Colorado Rapids defender Hunter Freeman in the second round (23rd overall selection). Per MLS rules, the league will now extend contract offers to the players within the next seven days.
A total of 14 players were chosen by 10 clubs during this afternoon's conference call that included all 19 teams and league officials.
"With Hunter and Chad, we've chosen two players who have a lot of MLS experience," General Manager Michael Burns said. "Should they decide to continue playing in MLS, we believe they can have a significant impact on our squad. We also expect their professionalism and leadership will have a positive impact in our locker room."
Freeman, 27, has seven seasons of MLS experience after entering the league in 2005 with the Rapids. He has made stops in Colorado (2005-06, 2012), New York (2007-08), Toronto (2008) and Houston (2011), and has made 126 appearances with 110 starts. He has scored two goals and added 11 assists, including a career-high five for the Rapids in 2012. He also played two seasons (2009-10) with IK Start of Norway's Tippeligaen, the country's top professional division.
The Tyler, Texas, native entered MLS in 2005 a Generation adidas player and was drafted by the Rapids in the first round (seventh overall) of the 2005 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Virginia. He is a former member of the U.S. Under-20 and Under-23 (Olympic) teams.
Barrett, 27, has seven seasons of MLS experience after entering MLS in 2005. He has scored 42 goals and added 27 assists in 192 career appearances with Chicago (2005-08), Toronto (2008-2010) and LA (2011-12). Most recently, he was on loan from the Galaxy to Valerenga of Norway's Tippeligaen, where he made five appearances and recorded one assist through the end of their 2012 season.
The Chicago Fire drafted Barrett as a Generation adidas player with the third overall pick in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft after he played two seasons at UCLA. He is a former member of the U.S. Under-20 team, and earned a call-up to the full U.S. National Team on June 22, 2008, against Barbados in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier.
Revs midfielder Blair Gavin and goalkeeper Tim Murray were eligible for the Re-Entry Process, but went unselected in either last Friday's Round 1 or today's Round 2.

Disparity in drowning risks
Almost 21,000 people younger than 30 died from drowning from 1999 to 2010, and there were substantial variations in death rates depending on age, race and ethnicity.
An analysis published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report found that infants most commonly drowned in bathtubs, young children in swimming pools, and people older than10 in natural water settings.
Non-Hispanic whites at age 1 had a higher rate of drowning than blacks and Hispanics, possibly because whites have easier access to backyard swimming pools. But by age 10, drowning rates among blacks significantly exceeded those of whites and Hispanics, a difference that became narrower with age but was still apparent by age 29.
Swimming pools were generally safer than natural water settings, but blacks ages 5 to 19 were 5.5 times more likely to drown in pools than whites the same age.

Wal-Mart is the 800-pound retail grocery gorilla everyone it seems in agriculture loves to hate.
However, according to a widely respected University of California, Davis, marketing economist, there is not much bite behind the perceived universal growl, at least not from growers and shippers who stock Wal-Mart shelves with California-grown food.
Roberta Cook, one of the country's leading experts on the nation's almost $1 trillion food business, says food producers and wholesalers who supply Wal-Mart like supplying produce and other food items for the giant retailer's supermarket included Super Centers.
One reason is Wal-Mart pays better prices to packers and shippers that the traditional supermarkets which have cut prices and sacrificed quality and service in a battle with Wal-Mart for consumer food dollars. When they cut prices to consumers, they try to take it out on the produce supplier.
Cook told the national American Agri-Women's convention in Monterey, Calif., recently that supermarket merger mania and traditional grocery store price cutting have failed to dethrone Wal-Mart's supermarkets.
"Just getting bigger" has not worked in the war between giant supermarket chains and Wal-Mart whose stock market prices continue to rise while supermarket stock continues to decline. A sign of the failure, she said, is Albertson's, the nation's second biggest supermarket chain, is for sale.
Inventory system
Wal-Mart shook up the food supply business, especially the produce sector, with its vendor-managed inventory management system. Basically, Wal-Mart plugged its vendors into its corporate computers via satellites and holds vendors responsible for keeping shelves full based on current sales at pre-set prices to suppliers.
Cook said the idea was to cut Wal-Mart's costs and improve efficiency — "to drive costs out." This does not necessarily drive down prices paid to suppliers, she added. "Streamlining the system is the name of the game."
Traditional retailers did not follow suit and apparently have lost the war. Along with cutting prices, they also sacrificed quality and service.
This vendor inventory management system has been so successful Wal-Mart is asking some of its seasonal suppliers to be its buyers for year-round sourcing.
Although Wal-Mart may have won one battle, it still faces stiff competition from other segments of the food supply chain, according to Cook.
Warehouse clubs are doing well, particularly Costco, said Cook, even though this big box store is far different from Wal-Mart. Costco offers large consumer packages, working with "preferred suppliers" to fill those packages.
Food shoppers are getting more discerning while at the same time reducing trips to the supermarket. In 1995, the average supermarket shopper went to the store 92 times per year. Last year it was only 69 visits.
"The quality of the shopping experience" is becoming more important and that is drawing shoppers to limited assortment food retailers.
A growing demand for freshness, high quality is also driving shopper to upscale retailers like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and HEB where the emphasis is on value and not necessarily low prices, said Cook.
She said these retailers are attempting to "differentiate" themselves from the Wal-Marts, big box stores and supermarkets. One way they are doing that is by seeking out "innovative" suppliers of agricultural food products.
Many retailers are looking to add value and service and are looking for agricultural suppliers who are willing to move away from "commodity marketing" to be more consumer-oriented wherever possible, said Cook.
Organic sales continue to grow, but only represent about $11 billion of the food market. "Oftentimes organic sales are overstated. Nevertheless, it is growing rapidly," she said. Only about 14 percent of those who buy organic are identified as "hard core." She added, the "fear factor" in selecting organics versus conventional products is dissipating. However, there continues to be a "lot of misinformation" about organics on the Internet from some of those hardliners.
America continues to want someone else to do the cooking. About $450 billion of the $951 billion U.S. food industry is food service. Although a small portion of that money is actually spent on food. Most it if is for service, and Americans are demanding more of that when they order food from restaurants to eat in or take home.
And when they eat out, they are also looking for more value and higher quality, she added.
"Fast casual" dining is growing with restaurants like Baja Fresh and Chiptole attracting former fast food eaters due to the added emphasis on nutritional quality and value. Long-time fast food outlets are reacting. McDonald's is now among the nation's top five apple buyers and Subway is the nation's No. 1 buyer of fresh tomatoes.
The supermarket chains are capitalizing on this with more take home prepared food sales.
Produce challenge
It is a challenge for California produce suppliers to keep up with the changing trends. Making it more complicated is the fact that this new era of food purchase selectivity is becoming highly individualized.
Cook calls it a "divided dietary house" driven by not only by individual food preferences, but food allergy and sensitivity issues.
Sharon McNerney, a registered dietitian and executive vice president of a Nuffer, Smith, Tucker, Inc., a Sacramento-based strategic planning group, said this individualization of food purchase is moving to what she called "personalized genomics."
In five to 10 years, a person's DNA will dictate what specific foods he or she buys. This is related to a growing health concerns, particularly obesity and diabetes.

Our article this week on eating at your desk brought in many e-mails, Facebook conversations and Tweets.
Christine couldn't believe that one of our experts suggested setting the table at your cubicle as if you're eating out at a restaurant. "I understand that people want to enjoy their food, but lighting a candle? Is that even legal in the workplace?" she asked. (The expert works from a home office.)
"I have my own little Tupperware party!" wrote Anne. "I put different things in different containers, and pull them out at different times throughout the day. My co-workers make fun of me because I'm sort of obsessive about making sure one food doesn't touch the other."
Overall, many readers agreed with our expert that getting away from your desk at lunch can be beneficial.
"An hour away from all the pressure, I think it's important," said Evan. "I don't mind if others eat at their desks. I am a workaholic, but that time alone with my iPad is important."
"I actually try to eat at a new place every day," said Stacy. "I work downtown so there are so many places to choose from. Problem is it's getting cold, so my exploring won't be as far from work now."
"I always leave the office at my lunch hour because my office is pretty gloomy," said Sam. "Even if I just walk down to the cafeteria, I have to get a change of scenery or I'll lose it."
"I shop on my lunch break," said Linda. "I never have time to go to the store, so sometimes I do hit the grocery store so I don't have to worry about it after work."
"I walk during lunch for about 35 to 45 minutes, which only give me 15 minutes to eat -- at my desk," explained Rita. "It keeps me from being late coming back from lunch and stops me from overeating."
"I've heard everything from employees justifying early work departure based upon the notion that cubicle cuisine doesn't count as a lunch hour, to workers demonstrating their diligence," wrote Mark. "Has a generation lost the art of conversation & social etiquette earned by dining away from work?"
What did we leave out?

New music from Alex Cuba and Erik Brandt today. Alex Cuba's "Ruido en el Sistema" has some of the Latin rhythms we've heard in his first two records, he also branches out into rock territory, making this new album rather schizophrenic. Erik Brandt doesn't mind me saying…
This morning was a blast with Amy Ray and Honeydogs tickets to give away and lots of local music, including new music from Teague Alexy which you will likely not hear anywhere else. Very much digging the song "Old Souls and Scarecrows."
Thanks to Melissa Waskiewicz of the Wells Foundation for coming in this morning and telling us how The Honeydogs will do good Sunday, June 10th, at St.
Odd day of old local (Walker Kong, Fort Wilson Riot's first release) and new local (Walker Fields, Mn Music 4 Mn Kids) and a sonic trip around the world (Sinaloa to Italian-Japanese Brooklyn to Russian Los Angeles to Latin Austin, TX)… what did you do with your Memorial Day?

Father, Son Reunite in Afghanistan
By Army Sgt. 1st Class Ross Dobelbower
American Forces Press Service
Aug. 23, 2010 - Army Sgt. 1st Class Marc Seal returned here Aug. 13 from a five-day mission that began cloaked in secrecy. The mission for Seal -- an infantry squad leader assigned to the Texas National Guard's agribusiness development team -- was known only to him and his command, and was kept secret for a special reason.
His mission was to track down and surprise his son, Army Pfc. Nolan Seal, a 4th Infantry Division infantryman, who had just arrived in Afghanistan.
Marc, a decorated combat veteran on his fifth deployment since 9/11 and his third deployment to a combat zone, has served on active duty and in the National Guard for 16 years. His son decided to carry on the family tradition last year when he joined the Army. He is assigned to 1st Battalion, 66th Armor, out of Fort Carson, Colo.
The elder Seal found out his son would be deploying to Afghanistan early this year. He decided not to take the standard two weeks of leave that is afforded to every soldier deployed to a combat zone in hopes that he could spend some time with his son when he arrived.
As soon as his son landed in Afghanistan, the planning began.
Army Command Sgt. Maj. Jeff Mayo, the agribusiness development team's command sergeant major, contacted Nolan's battalion and worked with Army Command Sgt. Maj. Martin Kelley and Army Command Sgt. Maj. Gerald Kinloch to make the mission possible.
The trip started with Marc "bumming" a ride on a Black Hawk helicopter bound for Bagram Airfield. He then talked his way onto a flight to Kandahar Airfield, landing there before sunrise.
Kelley made sure Nolan would still be in Kandahar and available for his father's visit. Marc was escorted to a tent where he woke up his son and received a big hug in return.
The two spent the next 36 hours talking about home, training and what lay ahead for the young soldier as he started his first combat tour. They were able to share a dinner together and enjoy some shopping at the post exchange.
Marc, whose tour ends in mid-October, said he was sad to leave his son and return to Ghazni, but was grateful for the opportunity.
"Nolan will be forever changed by his tour in Afghanistan, some good and some bad," he said. "But no matter what, he will never be that little boy I used to know."
Marc Seal said he's proud of his son and also recognizes what having both husband and son in a combat zone means for his wife, Suzanne. When asked how she felt having her husband and son in Afghanistan, she said, "It's a strange mix of pride and horror."

The 19th-century Swiss-born naturalist Louis Agassiz was a revered figure at Harvard University. He was also a racist who commissioned humiliating photographs of slaves and Brazilian natives.
A century and a half after their creation, the images still haunt: daguerreotypes and photos of people stripped naked and displayed like specimens. To Agassiz, the images were evidence for his belief that human races sprang from different biological origins.

Leading a Best Website Designing Company in Marine Lines
Good Website Design attracts visitors, visitors increase conversion, conversion ensures your business growth in Masjid Bunder. In short, the growth of your business depends upon the Website Designing as it plays the most important role in making or breaking your brand image. As we all know every great journey starts with a single step and building your own website is your first step to cover the journey of miles.
Best Website Developer
The Difference Between Web Designers and Web Developers
If you've ever worked in, on, with, or around the Internet, you've undoubtedly heard the terms "Web Designer" and "Web Developer". Oftentimes, the two phrases are used interchangeably by someone who is not familiar with the industry. Perhaps the concept is irrelevant to a client who just wants to get their website up and running. Or to a server administrator who has his concerns in the silicon, steel and software that power your website. And what about the nice lady over in Human Resources who blotches up the job posting during the hiring process? I mean — designer and developer — they're the same thing, right?
Let's face it, if you have the word "Web" in your euphemism, you've probably been hammered with questions from both sides of the playing field. Designers will hear things like "how can we add a database to the website?", while developers struggle to answer questions about layout, color selection, image placement, and font styles.
This is why many underfunded, poorly planned Web-based projects fail. Most of the blame can usually be attributed to the fact that not a lot of people actually understand what the difference is between a Web Designer and a Web Developer. This includes everything from skill sets to the actual role each position plays in the formation of a Web-based project.
Perhaps the most effective way to differentiate between the two positions is to establish a clear line that separates the roles and responsibilities of each position in the context of a Web-based project. This will, of course, vary from project to project and from person to person, but we can define a reasonable boundary which the average Web Designer and Web Developer will be comfortable with.
What Exactly is a Web Designer?
The best Web Designers are of the creative type. They have a knack for getting inside of their clients' heads and realizing their clients' vision. They take this vision and masterfully convert it into an aesthetically pleasing, artistic design that aims to impress millions of potential viewers. Some designers study typography, user interface design, and usability. Most include tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and DreamWeaver in their arsenal and frequent sites such as iStockPhoto, Kuler, and a long list of CSS galleries.
It is common, albeit arguable, that a designer's role should also include slicing images, writing (X)HTML, coding CSS, and drafting or editing copy. For the most part, you can think of a Web Designer as a creative expert.
What Exactly is a Web Developer?
Although Web Developers are sometimes referred to as programmers, their skills usually exceed those of a conventional software developer. Think of a Web Developer as more of a technical expert with programming skills.
What About People That Do Both?
As suggested earlier, it is actually quite common for Web Designers and Web Developers to be expected to take on tasks that are outside of their personal skill sets. In my experience, I would only consider a very small number of people that I've worked with to be proficient in both design and development. In most cases, you'll find a cocky developer that thinks his designs are the greatest thing that ever hit the Internet when, in reality, they're mediocre at best. It's far less common to find a designer who thinks he can code up an entire Web application.
So, Which One Should I Choose?
Which one you choose depends on what exactly you are trying to do, but in many cases your project will require skills from both. If you're looking to start a new website or to redesign your old one, you'll want to look for someone with design talent. If you're looking for some kind of database, E-Commerce solution, or integration with another application, you'll want to look for someone with strong development skills.

First of all, check out the location of the company, whether it is in a metropolitan area or not. Website designers are more likely to opt for firms based in metros and major cities due to the presence of better opportunities. Therefore, location means better talent for your business in this field. But, if a website design company you like is not located in one of the metros of India, it still will not hurt to check out its work. There might be a little difference between the charges being levied by the website design firms in metros and non-metros, but the difference is nominal, and completely affordable.
But making your website rank among the most searched ones is no walk in the park; it requires relevant content and attractive designing, along with superlative SEO skills. All website design companies offer SEO services and quite a few sites designed by these companies come up on the first pages of popular search engines. So hire a web designer in India who has some pages ranked in the top engines, namely Google, Yahoo and Ask.com.
All in all, a web design firm should exercise strategic planning, business promotion techniques, creativity, application development as well as solution maintenance while creating a site. These are the points you need to keep in mind while thinking of getting your website designed in India. With the help of these useful tips, you are bound to zero in upon the most apt designer for your website.

However, there are certain things that a client needs to work on, for getting clarity of the exact requirements of web designing. This involves creation of a sitemap by the client. A sitemap is like a rough estimate of the pages and links that are to be included in the website. This can be better understood with the reference of a company's website, which includes different pages like- company's profile, products and services offered, contact us page etc. The client can create a brief of company's background including the pictures of company, its products etc. In order to have a better understanding of your preferences and for the website designer to know your taste, creating a list of sites that you like is of utmost importance. Professionalism- Another important factor to be considered while choosing a website designer is his professional attitude. He should be able to stand to his commitments and must deliver the project timely. Delay in work is not a good sign! • Affordability- The cost involved in the process of website designing should be in accordance with the standard and fair prices set for this task. It's a long term investment, so spend wisely! We hope the above information helps you in future projects.

Although both are very different positions which provide entirely different skillsets, the fact of the matter is that most designers and developers have, or will at some point, become factotums — at least to a certain degree. Some may never bother to differentiate themselves as one or the other.
Perhaps the most important aspect of managing a Web-based project is being able to determine what skills a particular project requires, and who is the right person for the job. In this industry it is very clear that, despite a reasonable separation of roles and responsibilities, an individual's job title is not always a reflection of their personal expertise. It is, alas, more often an indication of their position in terms of demand and naivety.

Celebrity weddings are a hot topic right now since so many of our favorite celeb couples got engaged in 2013. One of the first to tie the knot was TV star Kaley Cuoco, who celebrated the New Year with a stunning fairytale wedding. Fitting to her personality, she wore a pink Vera Wang ball gown to marry tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, and she looked absolutely gorgeous! Kaley is known for some great red carpet fashion so we thought we would take a look back at some of her best fashion moments and see just how to get this new bride's look for your luxury swimwear.
I doubt that we will ever tire of seeing the gorgeous gowns that show up on the red carpet, and Kaley tends to pick some great ones! One of my personal favorites from this year was her Emmy Awards gown, which featured a corset style bodice and flowy skirt. The best part about this dress though was the color! Red is an always sexy and sultry color that definitely stands out, just like the Red Hot Bikini. This sexy swimsuit is just the thing to give you that glamorous red carpet look, but for the beach!
Although we tend to see Kaley in fun and feminine colors, she does step out in black quite often. Her sexy black beaded gown on the red carpet had the perfect cutout look that wasn't too sexy for the event, but showed just enough skin. This look definitely shows her glamorous yet sexy style and we think she should opt for fitted gowns more often! The perfect way to get her cutout look is with the Gold Digger Monokini, which is a sexy black swimsuit with monokini cutouts. Another look I love is Kaley's edgier black and gold style from the Grammy Awards red carpet. The leather pants and black and gold jacket make for a very fashion forward style and she pulled it off perfectly. The Tainted Love Bikini has exactly what you need to get this sexy and edgy look. With black and gold hardware, this sexy black bikini is a designer swimwear style that is fit for a celeb!

Walking through Kingly Court yesterday, we couldn't help stopping and staring at a curious pink pop-up. The Marshmallow Apothecary promises medicinal marshallows, cocktails and hot drinks, with one side of the shop set up like a chemist's counter, the other all marshmallow-style bean bags, bathed in pastel lights — decidedly womb and zen like.
The Robin Collective handmake the marshmallows in all sorts of unexpected flavours purporting to heal what ails you. Installed in time for Valentine's day, the current menu includes a remedy for a broken heart (red wine and cracked black pepper) and an aphrodisiac (rose, ginger and chilli). Forget the flump-like pink and white gum addled sweetness you might associate with mass produced marshmallow — how about a chocolate-coffee Pick Me Up, a Cockney Quick Fix of bourbon and black treacle or an Anti-Malarial gin and tonic?
These are lighter than air, melt in the mouth treats that may well have a restorative effect in these winter days. And if you want them as a gift, the kindly apothecaries will prescribe the recipient a medicinal mix of marshmallows, based on your advice.
The Marshmallow Apothecary is in Kingly Court until 23 February.

For many students, the process of obtaining a visa to study in the United States can seem daunting. We are here to help you with the process, but the first step in the process is for you to provide us with some critical pieces of information. This page gives you an overview of the process, but please also consult the comprehensive international student page for other issues of importance to international students.
Most students enrolling at Fletcher will seek a standard student visa (F-1). A smaller number of students who are receiving external sponsorships (Fulbright, Asia Foundation, etc) will seek a different student visa (J-1). If you will be entering the United States under a different visa category (e.g. A or G), please indicate so on the Certification of Funds form. DO NOT enter the country as a tourist (B-2 visa or ESTA/Visa Waiver) as you are not permitted to attend school with this visa.
The first critical step is to complete the "Certification of Funds" form and return it no later than May 25 together with a photocopy of your passport showing your photograph, biographical information, and passport expiration date to our international student advisor, Reiko Ohmura. We encourage you to submit this information as soon as possible after it is available to ensure timely receipt of your visa. Delays in submitting this paperwork are the main cause of students not receiving their visas on time.
For students seeking a J-1 visa, you first step is to receive a DS-2019 form from your sponsor. Please check with your individual sponsor for their requirements to produce this form. If Fletcher needs to issue your DS-2019, you must complete the Certification of Funds form as outlined in the paragraph above.
The Certification of Funds form demonstrates that you have adequate funds to cover your study at The Fletcher School. All amounts listed must be exact and in U.S. dollars, and the form must be signed by the proper authorities. The amount of funds which you certify on this form must be available, in full, upon your arrival at The Fletcher School. If your spouse and/or dependents will accompany you, you must certify additional funding for each as stated on the form, note the country of birth for each, and provide a copy of the biographical passport page for each as indicated above. Please note: common law marriages and/or fiancés are not recognized by the Department of Homeland Security to be the same as a spouse. The Fletcher School makes all scholarship awards at the time of admission, and no additional awards should be assumed for the purposes of this form.
Once Reiko Ohmura has received and approved your certification of funds form, she will enter the necessary information into the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). SEVIS is the US Government's internet-based system that tracks schools, students, exchange visitors, and their dependents. Once the information has been entered, Reiko will send to you via regular mail your Certificate of Eligibility (I-20 or DS-2019 form). If you prefer to receive your I-20 or
or DS-2019 via express mail, please check the box on the second page of the Certification of Funds form. The charge will be assessed to your Tufts student account. Express mail is strongly recommended.
Once your I-20 has been issued or you have received you DS-2019, you must pay a fee required through SEVIS. The fee is $200 for F-1 visas or $180 for J-1 visas. The fee must be paid before your visa appointment as you are required to bring a receipt (I-901 form) with you to the Consulate, showing that you have paid the fee. Further information regarding the fee can be found here.
For a complete list of embassies and consulates, please see here. Each embassy or consulate has different process and wait times for visa interviews.
You will need to bring to your embassy or consular interview the "required documentation" for F-1 visas or J-1 visas. Please see consult the appropriate page for comprehensive details. These documents include but are not limited to:
Visas must be collected in person.
Make sure you have your I-20 and passport when entering the U.S.
Physical Location: Office of the Registrar (Goddard 212), Regular business hours are Monday-Friday, 9 am – 1 pm and 2 pm – 4 pm EST.

Use one gallon of skim milk.
Guide for estimating costIf milk costs $2 per gallon, the cottage cheese curd will cost $1.54 per pound.
CautionGlass thermometers will break — so be careful if you use them.
There are two ways of obtaining cultured buttermilk (called "starter" by commercial cheese-makers):
Buy commercial buttermilk for startFresh buttermilk purchased from the dairy case of a store is usually satisfactory for starting homemade cottage cheese.
If the buttermilk is very old, however, the lactic acid bacteria may have lost their ability to produce acid rapidly. In that case, the milk will neither sour nor develop a firm curd suitable for making cheese.
After a fresh carton of buttermilk is opened, it may be used for about one week to make more cheese. It must be kept cold and clean at all times.
Save from previous batchAbout once a week, a fresh batch of buttermilk may be made from an older batch. Take great care to prevent contamination during the reinoculation process. Use the following procedure to make fresh buttermilk (starter):
Cultures may be carried successfully through many inoculations if care is taken. However, it is best to start with new buttermilk from the store after five or six inoculations.
There are two distinct procedures for making cottage cheese:
There are a few differences in the making procedures between long-set and short-set cottage cheeses. The two procedures are outlined below.
Under the most ideal conditions, cottage cheese made at home is not likely to be as good as that bought from the dairy shelf. On the other hand, making cheese at home can provide a high quality food at medium cost. It may be consumed alone or with any other food item.
(15 to 24 hours)
PasteurizationHeat the skim milk, with constant stirring, to 160 degrees Fahrenheit in a double boiler. When the temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the boiler from the heat and quickly cool the milk to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Use ice for cooling if available.
ImportantFrom this point on, until the curd is ready for cooking, which will be in about 15 hours, keep the milk at about 72 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Good cheese cannot be made if this is not done.
Ripening the milkAdd four tablespoons (1/4 cup) of starter (buttermilk from a store or previous batch) to the gallon of milk and stir for one minute.
Cover the milk with a loose lid or clean cloth, and do not disturb for 15 to 24 hours. The milk will develop into a soft curd.
The proper curd development can be determined by sliding a thin knife down the vessel wall to the bottom and pulling the blade away from the side. The curd development is complete if the curd pulls cleanly from the wall. If the curd sticks to the wall, continue testing at two-hour intervals until a satisfactory test is obtained.
Cutting the curdThe curd must be cut into cubes of about 1/4 inch square. See "How to cut cottage cheese curd with a knife" section below.
Importantthe curd has been held at 72 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit for 16 to 24 hours. Cooking the curd will begin now. Good cheese cannot be made unless the cooking procedure is done correctly.
Cooking the curdAdd 72 degree F water to the outer double-boiler until the water level is above the level of the curd in the inner boiler. Layer about two inches of the same temperature water on top of the freshly cut curd. Slowly and steadily heat the water so that the temperature of the curd increases about 1 degree F per minute. Let the temperature in the curds and whey rise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in 30 to 35 minutes. Gently stir the curd for one minute, at about five minute intervals. The curds will stick together if not stirred sufficiently.
When the whey temperature reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit, increase the rate of heating to 2 degrees Fahrenheit per minute. Stir the curd at two-minute intervals. In 10 to 15 minutes, the temperature of the whey should be 115 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point the heat should be turned off. Hold the curd at this point for 15 to 20 minutes, using additional heat when necessary to maintain the temperature. Stir carefully to keep the curd separated and heating evenly.
The rising acidity produced by the lactic bacteria, plus the heat from cooking, causes the curds to lose whey and become smaller and tougher. With a little experience, the cheese-maker can determine the processing conditions that give the best cheese. A test for proper amount of cooking is to drop a curd onto a pan on the floor. A properly cooked curd will bounce without shattering into pieces. At that point the cooking should be stopped.
Draining the whey and cooling the curdQuickly dip most of the whey off the curd. Pour the curd and remaining whey onto a cheese cloth spread over a colander. Let the curd drain for 3 to 4 minutes.
Lift the cheese in the cloth from the colander and submerge it in cold water. Dip the curd in and out of the water several times to rinse out the whey and to cool and separate the particles of curd. Repeat the dipping process in fresh, cold water (ice water is best). Repeat the dipping if the curd is still not cold.
Put the bag of cold curd back in the colander to drain until dry. Complete the draining in the refrigerator. If the curds are firm, the cheese will not mat together, even if left overnight.
The dry curd may be packed in a clean plastic or glass container until used. The curd may be salted by adding salt to taste and stirring in a clean bowl. Store the salted curd in a refrigerator until used.
The whey makes excellent hog or chicken feed when mixed with grain.
Making creamed cottage cheeseTo make "creamed" cottage cheese, stir six tablespoons of sweet cream or half-and-half into the cottage cheese. The cream should be added to the cheese after the curds have been chilled in the refrigerator.
PasteurizationHeat the skim milk as in the "long-set" method, but cool to 86 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit.
Keep milk at 86 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit until the curd is formed and is ready for cooking, which will be in about 5 hours.
Ripening the milkUse eight tablespoons (1/2 cup) of starter (cultured buttermilk from store or previous batch). Follow other directions stated in long-set method above.
After the starter has been in for one-half hour, add rennet and stir. (Rennet is a natural substance that aids in the curdling of milk for cheese-making. It is available from most stores under the name of "Junket.")
Use one-fourth (1/4) table of Junket per one gallon of milk. Dissolve the Junket in two tablespoons of water just before adding it to the milk. The rennet aids in producing a firm curd and preventing matting of the curd during heating.
Cutting the curdCut the curd into cubes of about 5/8-inch. See "How to cut cottage cheese curd with a knife" section below.
Test the curd for firmness as in the long-set method.
Cooking curdIn the outer pan of the double boiler, add enough 115 degree F water to reach a level about two inches higher than the level of the curd in the inner pan. Layer two inches of 115 degree F water on top of the curd in the inner pan. Slowly heat the cheese with careful stirring, at a rate of about 3 degrees Fahrenheit each 10 minutes, until the temperature reaches 115 to 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Leave the curd at this temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. The curd should be firm enough at this point to drain the whey.
Draining the whey and cooling the curdFollow directions as in the long-set method.
Making creamed cottage cheeseFollow directions as in the long-set method.
Properly made cottage cheese will remain good for one to two weeks if kept cold. But it will quickly become acid, develop off flavors, or mold and yeast will grow in it if it is allowed to warm up.
First cutCut parallel lines 1/4-inch apart from top to bottom in the container.
Second cutCut parallel lines 1/4-inch apart perpendicular to the first cuts from top to bottom in the container.
Third cutCut diagonal lines 1/4-inch apart beginning at the top left of the container and working toward the right.
Fourth cutCut diagonal lines 1/4-inch apart beginning at the top right of the container and working toward the left.

ShowTex Hong Kong supplied and installed the main stage draperies and hundreds of meters of tracks for Franco Dragone's latest creation in Macau, the world's most spectacular grand scale water themed theater.Thousands of meters of ShowTex's inherently flame retardant Paris CS Velour line the entire building as acoustic masking. The main curtains are also made from the satiny 520 gr/m² weight velvet.
Drapes attached to custom curved Alu-Pipe tracks serve to mask all technical equipment, catwalks, grids, and wiring in the venue as well."The House of Dancing Water" is a unique show created and directed by Franco Dragone in the Li Chung (Sandi) Pei purpose built and designed Dancing Water Theater at City of Dreams in Macau.
As one of the main features of Melco Crown Entertainment's leisure oasis City of Dreams, the 2,000 seat state-of-the-art venue combines advanced technologies with a traditional black box theater. The 270-degree theatre-in-the-round houses an approximately 160 feet in diameter pool, with a depth of 26 feet and holding 3.7 million gallons of water, more than five times the volume of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Bim Cheung, ShowTex Hong Kong's managing director comments, "From the beginning, it was clear that this space would become one of the most iconic concept theaters in the world. The special effects are an intricate collaboration of technical specialists in the air and underwater who must remain invisible to the audience at all times. The drapes create an intimate atmosphere for the dramatic love story on stage while making sure what's going on backstage remains a secret. "The House of Dancing Water" will run for at least a ten year period and welcome countless audiences, the ideal environment for our Paris CS velvet that withstands moisture and meets the strictest flame retardant standards."
