EDGE Holiday Gift Guide: His & His and Her & Her
According to some studies, many people prefer receiving gift cards for the holidays.
According to other studies, millions of gift cards remain unused, thereby filling the coffers of high-end retailers.
Our thinking? Might as well toss money out the window.
Our parents taught us to be thoughtful in giving - and particularly when giving something homemade. Think about the recipient; use a little empathy and imagine what would make that person happy. While gift cards might be easier, there are few gestures so rewarding as a gift that hits its mark.
Think about the natural pearls you received from your father or the Cartier watch your parents gave you for graduation - and think how much joy you've derived from receiving good gifts. Return the favor. Read through our gift guide and wrap your imagination around making friends and family as happy as Tiny Tim.
"The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk"
Some people live like they have all the fun in the world - and while some people might have wanted Mick Jagger's life, for us, it's always been Jean Paul Gaultier. Think about it: playing dress-up with Madonna and Kylie and doing runway and mixing up perfumes - and always doing everything with that impish, manic charm and unbridled enthusiasm that makes Gaultier the veritable personification of "joie de vivre."
After its sold-out, four-month run in Montreal, the recent retrospective of Gaultier's life and work, "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier," has now opened in Dallas (before traveling on to San Francisco in March 2012). The critically acclaimed multimedia exhibition, the first focusing solely on the French couturier, is a stunning celebration of Gaultier's creative genius, technical inventiveness, and humanist vision. More than thirty animated mannequins provide commentary, alongside extensive fashion photography and numerous examples of Gaultier's artistic collaborations with music and film legends.
Of course, there's no excuse for missing this exhibition. That said, the next best thing (as well as a perfect complement to one's own visit) is the magnificent monograph edited by Thierry-Maxime Loriot (curator of the Montreal exhibition) and published by Montreal's Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with Abrams Books. An objet d'art in its own right, the stunning, oversize hardcover book is presented in a slipcase, with a cover incorporating the work of Herb Ritts among others. Featuring over 550 illustrations and photographs (many of them previously unpublished), the 424-page catalogue also includes archival documents and more than fifty interviews with Gaultier's muses and colleagues, as well as an essay by Suzy Menkes, and a timeline of Gaultier's career that examines Gaultier's interactions with the worlds of film, dance, and music.
From Dallas, "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier" moves to San Francisco - and then Madrid and Rotterdam. Book your flights now - and while you wait, enter into Jean Paul Gaultier's world with one of the most deluxe monographs of the decade. You'll be smiling the entire time.
PRICE: $125.00 / hardcover with slipcase

Parker: Urban Premium Ebony Metal Chiselled Roller Ball Pen
Some things just feel so good in your hand. It's so nice to wrap your fingers around something so smooth and hard, something that expresses your emotions perfectly.
A pen, people. We're talking about a pen. And this one's a honey. It's one of those instruments that you look at - and immediately covet. You've got to have it. It looks so good that you want to feel it. You want to put it in your...hand.
The new Urban Premium Ebony Metal Chiselled has a stunning silhouette: long and lean, with a nicely proportioned curved top. With a deep ebony metallic finish and an ergonomic shape, this is a pen with such character and style that you almost want to salute.
Founded in 1888, Parker Pen Company is one of the oldest names in American business, and for much of the twentieth century, Parker was the largest writing instrument company in the world.
While we're partial to the roller ball (which might be expected...), the Urban Premium Ebony Chiselled also comes in a fountain pen and ballpoint edition. Fitted with chrome trim and a snap cap design, this black iridescent lacquer pen is as seductive as a cigar. As soon as you have it in your hand... You might give one as a gift, but you'll definitely keep one for yourself.

MOZO: Downtown
Is there any one of us that doesn't have an actor/model/waiter on our holiday gift list? Don't we all have at least one super-talented friend still slinging the hash browns - on his feet all day? In which case, there's no better gift than the "Shoes that Serve" from MOZO®.
In case you have yet to discover them, MOZO® Shoes are the shoe company for people who work on their feet. The word "mozo" derives from cattle round-ups on the American frontier, where a "mozo" was the non-horse-riding helper. Last spring, the company introduced its Chef Signature shoe collection, with shoes designed by celebrity chefs including Marcus Samuelsson, Aarón Sánchez, and Chris Cosentino.
These are shoes with traction, for dealing with greasy floors, icy sidewalks, snowy roads - and just about any other slippery substance that might leave you landing on your caboose. Samuelsson helped conceive the Downtown model, which incorporates both the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge into the shoe's design (check out the heel logo and the footbed). In short, these shoes look as good in the dining room as they work in the kitchen.
Perhaps as nice as the fit is the fact that every pair purchased helps the non-profit organization, Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP), which provides career opportunities for underserved youth by linking public high school culinary teachers and their students to the food service industry.
"Get your MOZO® on" - and give your feet a break.

My question is when we weld on AC I notice a chaulk like dust all over the tig cup, is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
We have a SYNC 250DX, running 1/8" pure tungsten, 100% Argon, 20 to 40 cfm trying different gas flow to see if it produce a ifferent outcome.

AC TIG question
I only get this when i run low on or out of gas. Make sure that your bottle is full, regulator set properly (between 13 and 20 cfh will sufice for most jobs) Also make sure your collet bodiy is in good shape and that none of the holes are obstructed.
If all of these check out you might try using a gas lense to help with the flow. Now, on your welds on AC aluminum work you should see a white area around the bead, this is from the cleaning action that occurs when the arc is in it's positive state, the actual heat input is all done in the negative state, thus why DC TIG is mostly done on DCEN (the torch being in the negative state at all times) DCEP will still weld but with less penetration, and is good for really thin stuff ( i mean REALLY THIN)
Try those and report back!Dynasty 200DX

Turbo thanks for the tips. I checked the tank and it is more than half full, I tried a new collet body and new tungsten and cup, just trying to rule out any and possible problems. Yes I get the cleaning marks on outside of the bead. The weld bead looks good but still get the powder like on the cup. Could it be a bottle of bad gas causing it?
Thanks Again

TIG Polarity
AC has no polarity, because AC is current. It alternates, and that's where you get your "cleaning," and "penetration" values. DC Current travels in a straight line.
Dave"Bonne journe'e mes amis"
DC electrode POS will give less penetration AND burn up tungsten if not sized properly to handle the current flowing up to the tungsten.
DC EN gives penetration to the work piece.
This is why tuning up your balance on AC to a higher number (which is adding more electrode NEG) gives MORE penetration and less cleaning.

"The Positive About Negative"
DCEN put's 70% of the heat in the work, and although it provides little to no cleaning, used with ferrous metals, it isn't really an issue. Gas ions flow FROM the work TO the elecrode, and electrons flow FROM the electrode TO the work.
I just know from machine setting errors (leaving it on DCEP), I've "blown" holes in 1/8" flat stock, and ruined a few tungstens.
Thanks for clarifying this.

Ana has a 2-1 head-to-head record against the world No.31 and beat her 6-2, 6-1 in Miami two months ago.

Things could become extremely tough if Ana reaches the third round, as former world No.1 and two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka, who has lost just once so far this season, could await.
Eighth seed Petra Kvitova is a potential quarter-final opponent, while possible adversaries int he last four include No.7 Sara Errani and No.2 Maria Sharapova.
The leading seeds in the top half of the draw, whom Ana cannot face until the final, are No.1 Serena Williams, No.4 Agnieszka Radwanska, No.5 Na Li and No.6 Angelique Kerber.

Ana has gone up one place in the latest Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings, which are published today. She moves above Ai Sugiyama to take 19th spot.
Ana stays at No.20 in the Porsche Race, while her doubles ranking rises 12 places to No.82. The changes are a consequence of Ana's performances at the Acura Classic in San Diego last week, where she reached the third round of the singles and the second round of the doubles.
Elsewhere in the rankings, Nicole Vaidisova breaks into the top 10, rising to a new career high of No.9, while Mary Pierce falls four places to 13th.
Ana has been drawn to play Russia's Vera Dushevina in the first round of the JPMorgan Chase Open presented by Herbalife, which begins tomorrow. It will be the pair's third meeting.
Dushevina leads the series 2-1, having scored victories at the 2004 French Open juniors and in Dubai qualifying last year. Ana won their last match 6-3, 6-4 with an impressive performance in the opening round of Wimbledon a year ago.
'Tennis', the biggest-selling tennis magazine in the world, has named Ana's diary the best of all online player journals.
In its inaugural awards, named "The Webbies", Ana receives the accolade of Best Journal.
"Leave it to a teenage girl to keep the best diary on tour," wrote Sarah Unke. "Eighteen-year-old Ana Ivanovic writes at least an entry a week, making sure her fans are abreast of everything she's up to, from training and playing to to dining and shopping."

Ana and Maria Kirilenko lost their second round doubles match with third seeds Daniela Hantuchova and Ai Sugiyama at the Acura Classic. The teenage pairing were defeated 6-7, 6-1, 6-3.
Ana's next tournament is the JPMorgan Chase Open in Los Angeles, which begins on Monday.

We are currently in the process of planning several exciting new additions to the site. Your feedback is essential in determining what enhancements we make, so please keep sending it. But please be patient too!
Ana lost in the third round of the Acura Classic to world No.31 Anna Chakvetadze. The 18-year-old went down 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.
Ana started confidently and held two break points in the opening game. She could not convert either and the Russian took a 3-0 lead, before Ana battled back to level at 3-3. She broke in the ninth game and served out the set.
There were no breaks in the second set until Ana pounced in the fifth game. However, she was then broken twice as Chakvetadze levelled the match.
Ana will play Anna Chakvetadze in the third round of the Acura Classic today after the Russian defeated third seed Nadia Petrova 6-3, 6-7, 6-2. The match is scheduled as the first on Court 1 and will begin at 11am local time (8pm Central European Time).
Ana and 19-year-old Chakvetadze have met four times before with Ana leading the series 3-1. Two of their matches have taken place this year, with Ana winning 6-3, 6-3 on hard courts in Indian Wells but losing 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 in Warsaw.
Ana scored another convincing victory at the Acura Classic when she defeated world No.55 Amy Frazier 6-3, 6-2.
Ana hit eight aces and broke her opponent five times during the 60-minute match. She has now won her last six matches against Americans in straight sets.
Ana, who has dropped just eight games in her opening two matches, will face a Russian in the third round tomorrow: either third seed Nadia Petrova or Anna Chakvetadze.
Ana's second round match against world No.55 Amy Frazier at the Acura Classic has been scheduled as the second on the stadium court today. It is expected to begin sometime after 11.30am local time (8.30pm Central European Time).
Thankfully the weather has cooled somewhat in San Diego in recent days. Today's forecasted high temperature is just 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ana and Maria Kirilenko advanced to round two of the Acura Classic with a convincing 6-1, 6-4 victory over Ukrainian sisters Alona and Katerina Bondarenko.
The teenagers were broken just once during the 78 minute match as they set up an encounter with third seeds Daniela Hantuchova and Ai Sugiyama.
This is Ana and Maria's fifth tournament together: they reached the semi-finals of Tokyo and Warsaw and the final of s'Hertogenbosch before losing in the first round at Wimbledon.

Solitary and beautiful, the tiger prowls alone and marks its territory carefully, patrolling each corner of its domain methodically every few weeks. Expert hunters who kill their prey with a bite to the throat or back of the neck, tigers are carnivores that eat large mammals like deer, pigs and buffalo. In order to satisfy their large appetites—and their offspring—these big cats must have access to wide swaths of land and large populations of prey.
Historically, hundreds of thousands of tigers roamed across Asia, but their numbers have plummeted dramatically. Today, tigers occupy only 7 percent of their historical range. The largest tiger population is now in India, but there are wild populations in numerous Asian countries. WCS is working throughout the continent to protect this astounding mammal, which can survive in diverse habitats that include tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, grasslands, evergreen forests, and snowy, rocky terrain.
WCS's Wildlife Crimes Unit helps intercept the trade in illegal tiger parts on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The island's populations of tigers and other endangered species are under siege by poachers who sell the animals into complex trade chains. These chains often terminate in illegal markets in China and other parts of East Asia.
As with human fingerprints, no two tigers have the same stripe pattern. This enables Dr. K. Ullas Karanth and his team to count the number of tigers 'captured' by their many camera traps.
With the help of WCS's Wildlife Crimes Unit, the Indonesian authorities arrested two traders allegedly involved in the shipment of one whole tiger skin, two stuffed tiger paws, one stuffed tiger head, and a tiger claw. The arrests took place near Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, one of the most important sites globally for Sumatran tiger.
In this video, Ullas Karanth, WCS Director for Science-Asia, explains a new and improved method to study tiger populations – counting their stripes.
After revealing that tigers are roaring back in three landscapes where WCS works, our CEO penned a blog for the Huffington Post relaying his recent trip to India. While there, Dr. Samper observed a wild tigress--whose presence reflects a significant increase in tiger numbers in South India.
Despite dangerously low global numbers, tigers are rebounding in three significant landscapes where WCS operates. Success in India, Thailand, and Russia fosters hope for these iconic big cats.
WCS recently celebrated a groundbreaking achievement: collaring snow leopards for the first time in Afghanistan. USA Today reports on this effort--documented by National Geographic--and the larger challenges facing big cats around the world.
A new 1,000 square-mile park will safeguard leopards and Siberian tigers in Russia. Far Eastern leopards are considered the world's rarest big cat.
Scientists and government officials from across the world come to India's Nagarahole National Park to learn how tiger champion and WCS Senior Scientist Ullas Karanth has reversed the tide for this big cat on the brink.
The sentencing of two tiger poachers marks a major turning point in Asia's war against wildlife crime. WCS helped apprehend the pair last summer after authorities discovered a cell phone with images of a dead tiger.
In this TV news segment, WCS's Joe Walston is interviewed about the reasons behind a 2009 spate of Sumatran tiger attacks.
In a big boost for wildlife, 23 new species conservation projects will receive funding from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the World Bank, and the Global Environment Facility.
Dozens of volunteers have braved northeast China's freezing temperatures to clear illegal wire traps that catch endangered Amur tigers.
Video camera traps in Thailand's Western Forest Complex show amazing scenes of tigers, elephants, clouded leopards and other rare wildlife prowling about, alive and well. The footage offers a hopeful sign for conservationists, whose efforts to save the region's wildlife are clearly paying off.
WCS conservationists have found that the same gangs that smuggle weapons and drugs are poaching the last remaining tigers to the edge of existence. But as organized crime steps up its game in wildlife trade, WCS is fighting back, working to monitor wildlife and train more park rangers.
Health experts from WCS's Bronx Zoo, Primorskya State Agricultural Academy, and Moscow Zoo uncover how distemper may be affecting Siberian tigers.
The Save Vanishing Species postage stamps will benefit wildlife protection for tigers, elephants, great apes, and more
at no cost to the American taxpayer.
As organized crime steps up its game in wildlife trade, a WCS conservationist suggests fighting back through increased law enforcement and better use of resources.
In a recent study, WCS Conservationist Joel Berger concludes that the loss of large predators in the wild may be humankind's most pervasive influence on nature.
Park rangers from Thailand's Western Forest Complex apprehend a group of poachers suspected to have killed as many as 10 tigers in the region. The poachers were involved in an organized crime ring that WCS and other partners have been tracking for the past year.
The U.S. Postal Service unveils a design for a new stamp benefitting wildlife conservation. The specialized Save Vanishing Species stamps, featuring an illustration of a tiger cub, will benefit existing wildlife protection funds at no cost to American taxpayers.
A growing online black market is creating new demand for items like elephant ivory chopsticks, tiger claws and whiskers, and wallets made from clouded leopard skin. WCS's Wildlife Crime Unit is working with Indonesian authorities to investigate the illegal Internet trade.
WCS's Dr. John Robinson, Chief Conservation Officer,
announces that WCS will pledge $5 million to save the tiger over the
next 12 months, as part of a larger contribution of $50 million over 10
years. All investments will be targeted at on-the-ground efforts in tiger range states.
WCS-Russia director Dale Miquelle discusses the unique challenges of conserving Siberian tigers.
WCS scientists upgrade camera-trap research by developing huge virtual photo albums of species living in large landscapes.
The Myanmar government creates a Protected Tiger Area as large as Vermont in the country's northern forests. The Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve provides sanctuary to a wide range of species, from big cats to small birds, along with many rare plants.
A WCS scientist goes to Washington to speak for tigers and the protection of their remaining habitat across Asia.
A new study predicts that large mammals in India could go extinct unless regional conservation planning takes place. WCS recommends park expansion to ensure the country's tigers, elephants, swamp deer, and other large mammals persevere.
As the world celebrates the Year of the Tiger, WCS assesses tiger habitat and populations across eight priority landscapes in Asia with a color-coded report.
The forest haven for monkeys, tigers, and elephants also stores carbon and will help in the global fight against climate change. Key research conducted by WCS led to the park's creation.
Recent arrests and prosecutions in Sumatra and Jakarta put the heat on illegal wildlife traders attempting to sell Sumatran tiger skins. WCS's Wildlife Crime Unit played a key role in the arrests.
WCS announces a new way to count tigers, based on a study that shows that fecal DNA sampling provides extremely accurate estimates of the big cats' populations.
WCS scientists track tigers with a new 3D software program that may speed up conservation efforts. The software can also help locate the origins of confiscated tiger skins.
YouTube may be the latest conservation field tool. WCS-India has posted a series of instructional videos on the site to help researchers and park rangers monitor tigers in the wild.
The Wildlife Crime Units help intercept the trade in illegal tiger parts on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Ten arrests have been made in three months.

Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disorder that usually occurs when an infection in the digestive system produces toxic substances that destroy red blood cells, causing kidney injury.
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) often occurs after a gastrointestinal infection with E. coli bacteria (Escherichia coli O157:H7). However, the condition has also been linked to other gastrointestinal infections, including shigella and salmonella, as well as nongastrointestinal infections.
HUS is most common in children. It is the most common cause of acute kidney failure in children. Several large outbreaks in 1992 and 1993 were linked to undercooked hamburger meat contaminated with E. coli.
Other risk factors for HUS are unknown, although some cases are due to a familial form of the disease. HUS may occur with a variety of other diseases and infections, and after taking certain medications such as mitomycin C or ticlopidine.
HUS is more complicated in adults. It is similar to another disease called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
HUS often begins with vomiting and diarrhea, which may be bloody. Within a week, the person may become weak and irritable. Persons with this condition may urinate less than normal. Urine output may almost stop.
Red blood cell destruction leads to symptoms of anemia.
Early symptoms:
Later symptoms:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may show:
Laboratory tests will show signs of hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure. Laboratory tests may include:
Other tests:
Treatment may involve:
Some people may have the liquid portion of their blood (plasma) removed and replaced with fresh (donated) plasma, or the plasma is filtered to remove antibodies from the blood.
This is a serious illness in both children and adults, and it can cause death. With proper treatment, more than half of patients will recover. The outcome is better in children than adults.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of HUS. Emergency symptoms include:
Call your health care provider if you have had an episode of HUS and your urine output decreases, or you develop other new symptoms.
You can prevent the known cause, E. coli, by cooking hamburger and meats well and avoiding contact with unclean water.

Step 1: Materials
What you need:
(measurements con go up or down depending on how much you want)
2 cups Whole or 2% milk
1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Sauce pan
Thermometer (can be candy or meat)
Cheesecloth, cotton t-shirt piece (preferably white. Who wants green cheese?), or a washcloth
Cookie sheet with raised edges
heavy object with flat bottom (5-10 lbs)
Anyone reading this who wants to have a go, or has made a cheese at home and wants more help with next steps should check out http://homemadecheese.org which is aimed at the amateur home cheese maker.
One thing I like to do is chop some bunching onions or garlic and putting it in a food processor. This will make a flavored cream cheese of sort, works great and is cheap!
What is your take on the melting point of the cheese? I see that paneer can be fried in slices, and does not melt but browns like a piece of buttered bread. Will it melt if shredded? What are the different textures of your cheese with the different cooking processes?
If I want a gooey cheese will I have to use the Rennet process to make the cheese?
Any suggestions?
looks nice by the way. how about adding beer? :) mmmm
have you seen this instructable?
Goat and Sheep milk - yes, in fact Feta is traditionally goat cheese and there is a very expensive, very rich cheese made exclusively of sheeps milk which is very high fat. About $40 a pound! As it takes 10 gallons of milk to make a pound of pressed cheese you can well imagine why after milking a sheep!
Sheep's Milk Cheese
Abbaye de Bel'loc is a French Pyrenees sheep's milk cheese from the Benedictine Monks at the abbey of Notre-Dame de Belloc. It has a fine, dense texture and ...
when i was 22 I was visiting friends. being eyetalian they asked me to cook a meal (brave as well as nice people). Food was fine they loved it, next day they wanted to use the left overs so I told them to buy 2 pounds mozzerella and 2 pounds ricotta they picked up the mootsie and cottage cheese. The dairy man said " they are both pot cheeses and can be used interchangably, and CC is half the price. " We went back to store and I told the dairy man he should not tell lies they are very different. Later on back at the ranch I made them taste side by side, both cheeses. My pen pal then told his mom not to question my cooking if, it is eyetalian food, cause she didn't have a clue. He was right, and she was a fabulous cook, just no ethnic stuff. And they were gracious hosts.
try has many many toys and ingredients. I must say if you make those items you definitely have buds, but you like what you like. But my personal feeling is if it doesn't taste like cottage cheese it isn't. I can only base this on my tasting of many many commercial ones, however, non salted cottage cheese has no flavor, almost as obnoxious as tofu. Starting with 100% skim then making it very dry (cheese cloth), then adding a few tablespoons 1/2 and 1/2 and salt, will make it more cottage cheezie?
You mentioned Pizzagaina what is it? and the classic NY'r line, "whataparta Italy duza u familigia coma from? Mine hails from Sicilia and Rome and another part (not sure). Due to the melting pot that is America, we cook other kinds of food and things other then Siggie food, (but honestly, it is the best). And of course my mother sauce is better then your mothers sauce(chuckle).
You probably call Pizzagaina something else....every region of Italy has it's own name. It is the Easter pie, with Italian cold cuts, ricotta...along with other cheeses and lots of eggs.
My family was from Lake Como... my late husband was Sicilian. LOL your mother more than likely did make a better sauce. Northern Italian cuisine is more butter and cheeses, than tomato and oil.
I usually like to eat sauce in any house o/t my own (as long as its homemade), just to taste the differences. Kinda like wine tasting (how siggie of me). I once (many times actually) told my mother that my inlaws Honey Balls (can't remember the Italian name) were better then hers. She told me I was cut off, I explained that was fine , since hers could be loaded in a blunderbuss and shot through cinder-block walls. Took a week for the swelling to go down after she hit me with a wooden spoon. Woof, hell hath no fury like a ticked off Sicilian Mother. I like Norther Italian stuff as well.
I have no idea how to spell that pie or the real pronounciation, but my buddy (of southern eyetalian heiritage) referred to it as cannibal pie. We make ours different from yours, but we use the same name. I think it is a Neopolitan item. Will ask mom after she comes back from radiation. it will give us something to kvetch about.
But seriously on cheese making, have you made ricotta from scratch that tastes like commercial ricotta? If I can make it cheaper I will make it myself. Heck if I can make good cottage cheese (skim) that tastes like commercial I will make that as well.
ciao happy cooking today /tomorrow we get catered, we have back to back funerals.
In India this is called Paneer and is served with curry's. Curry ads a great taste.
If you look at the USDA Food Database - cottage cheese curd; and this is the type of cheese you are making here aka Farmers Cheese, has per 100 grams [3 oz approx] 79.79% water, 11.12% protein and only 4.30% total fats. As well that 100gram sample is chock full of Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium, Vitamins C, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Vitamin B-12 and other good stuff.
#1 - Is it safe to assume that a thicker cheese can be made if I start with heavy cream instead of milk, or is that too much of a difference (and would I need more lemon juice)?
And, #2 - If I was to add some sort of flavouring to the cheese (whether it be herbs, oils or nuts, etc.), at what point would I do so?
By the way, this is superb - thanks for sharing!! ^_^
Another basic acid-curdled cheese can be made by squeezing the whey out of yogurt.
In general, using acid to curdle the milk produces harder curds. Rennet, an enzyme, produces softer curds.
I shall be making this by the end of the week. Feb. break is around the corner so I'll have time then.

Practice Philosophy
To provide cosmetic plastic surgery to my patients to fulfill their dreams, resulting in improved body image and self-confidence. These goals are provided in a safe, accredited private setting. Dr. Farella impliments both surigcal and non-surgical techniques to optimize each patient's aesthetic result.
Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Plastic Surgery
Dr. Farella is recognized for his specialty in facial cosmetic surgery and body contouring. At the time of consultation, you will meet the doctor and his staff. The consultation encompasses your concerns about your appearance, and is used to develop realistic expectations. The preliminary visit includes a focused personal history analysis, and physical examination. Dr. Farella carefully explains procedures and probable outcomes, possible complications, expected recovery period, and type of anesthesia to be used. He provides patients with videos, brochures, photos of procedures, and the opportunity to speak with prior patients, along with a tour of his operating room facility. Developing trust and the ability to communicate with your surgeon is paramount. Dr. Farella believes that the ultimate goal is to provide safe surgery to fulfill the expectations of his patients.
Not every procedure is appropriate for everyone. Any treatment must be customized for the individual patient. Most patients have a specific complaint... a single facial or body feature that keeps them from feeling attractive. Fortunately, there are perfectly good options available to them. Patients do not have to live out their lives with disproportionately sized noses, protruding ears, or eyes that look prematurely aged. Almost all areas of the body can be effectively reduced or augmented as needed. Modern technology and improved surgical procedures are making the reshaping process much easier and much more successful. However, no matter what type of plastic surgery you are considering, the most important factor in its success is the surgeon your choose.
At Dr. Farella's Center for Cosmetic Surgery, each patient receives personal, one-on-one attention in one of the best-equipped, most-advanced cosmetic surgery facilities in the Metropolitan area. Board certified anesthesiologists, anesthetists and specialized operating room nurses assist at the Center. Dr. Farella's surigcal facility is accredited by AAAASF. Patients are assured that Dr. Farella strictly adheres to proven technology, using the best and not just the latest techniques.
Improved surgical techniques and state-of-the-art equipment enable patients to avail themselves of the benefits of cosmetic surgery without incurring unrealistic expenditures. Performing surgery in the operative setting offered by Dr. Farella can decrease costs to the patient and makes cosmetic procedures available to everyone.

Universal Pictures releases Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking masterpiece Jurassic Park in 3D! With his remastering of the epic into a state-of-the-art 3D format, Spielberg introduces the three-time Academy Award®-winning blockbuster to a new generation of moviegoers and allows longtime fans to experience the world he envisioned in a way that was unimaginable during the film's original release. Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson and Richard Attenborough, the film based on the novel by Michael Crichton is produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Gerald R. Molen.
Eccentric millionaire John Hammond has invited three dinosaur experts to see his new amusement park before it opens. The park is on an island off Costa Rica and is populated by actual, living dinosaurs that Hammond has created using DNA harvested from prehistoric insects. The scientists are joined by Hammond's two grandchildren during their preview of the park and the group is enjoying the tour in their computer-controlled cars until a park employee, who wants to steal some of the dinosaur embryos, sabotages the system, inadvertently causing the gigantic beasts to go on a rampage and forcing all the humans on the island to flee for their lives.

Unlike ordinary sleep sound machines, Tranquil Moments plays sound programs that were composed and engineered by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Founder of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research.

En español | Losing a grandchild is tragic under any circumstance. But when the loss is born of an act as unspeakable as the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Dec. 14, the anguish can barely be comprehended. How do grandparents cope when their grandchild is taken from them in such a brutal and public way? How do they begin to console a son or daughter drowning in grief, even as they struggle with their own? On the first anniversary of an atrocity that shocked the nation, AARP The Magazine visited grandparents of four of the children murdered at their Newtown, Conn., school. With generosity and grace, eight men and women told us how they have endured these last fitful months — through birthdays, holidays, never-ending tributes and commemorations, political windstorms, media invasions and countless everyday moments that remind them of the bloody day that reshaped their lives.
Discuss: How do you talk to your grandchildren about death and tragedy?
Laurine & Alfred Volkmann
Melbourne, Fla.
Grandparents of Jack Pinto, age 6
"Al and I first heard about the shooting when there was a news flash on TV," recalls Laurine, 72. "We were just finishing breakfast, lingering over a second cup of coffee. When they announced it was our grandchildren's school, we just couldn't believe it. We contacted our daughter Tricia immediately, then got into the car. We were living on Long Island at the time, about two and a half hours to Newtown. As we made the trip to Connecticut, we listened to the radio, and reports of casualties kept coming in. We were in constant touch with Tricia. She was at the local firehouse, waiting with other parents to be reunited with their kids. As the number of parents there dwindled, Tricia realized — I think we all did — that the children who hadn't been brought in were probably the ones who had been killed.
"When we arrived at their house at about 3 o'clock, Tricia was curled up in a corner, shaking. I have never seen anybody in such pain. I just wanted to be alone with my daughter and hold her. But I couldn't. The house was bedlam. The phone was ringing constantly, and the media were camped out on the front lawn. At one point, a reporter tried to sneak in through the garage. Fortunately, a state trooper was assigned to each family and helped keep things under control."
"Tricia is normally very smart and organized, someone who can find solutions for everything," says Al, 73. "When Jack was born, he was a constant crier — just wouldn't stop. Tricia bought a white noise DVD, of waves crashing, and rain. It immediately calmed him down. But this time, she didn't know what to do. It was such agony, such torture."
"After they learned the news about Jack, Tricia and her husband, Dean, had to get their older son, Ben, and tell him what had happened," says Laurine. "A newspaper reporter took a photograph of the three of them walking away from the school, crying. That picture will be in my mind forever. When Ben got home, he crawled into bed under the covers. We sat and talked with him later on. He told us he felt bad because he was mean to his brother sometimes, but that he really loved him. We cried. I told him crying is nothing to be ashamed of. It helps.
"In the following weeks our family received hundreds of cards and letters. Tricia and Dean have a room filled with tokens of love from all over the world. They're still there; it's like walking into a museum for Jack. It's wonderful, but at the same time a constant reminder of that awful day.
"We have been trying to cope with our own grief. But what hurts the most is watching Tricia, Dean and Ben trying to deal with theirs. On Jack's birthday in May, Tricia and I visited each child's grave, in four different cemeteries. It was difficult, but we needed to do that.
"Over the past year, Tricia and Dean have become resentful of the people who are trying to turn all this into something political. There have been people who used Jack's name without permission to raise money. Sometimes it is well-meaning, but there was one woman who claimed she was raising money for her grandchild, and that wasn't true. She raised a lot of money and was finally arrested. We've learned this sort of thing happens after every major tragedy."
"There have been other things, like conspiracy theories," says Al. "Some of the crazy stuff, you just have to ignore. If you let it bother you, it interferes with grieving. Tricia and Dean just want to be left alone, to mourn Jack."
"We hang on to the memories," says Laurine. "Jack was an amazing child. He was energetic, witty, always smiling. He played football, baseball, and learned to ski in one lesson. Ben was the more bookish of the two. Now Ben often goes into Jack's bedroom to sleep. Jack's bedroom is exactly as it was the day he died.
"I keep a card that the boys sent to me last Mother's Day, one of the kind that lets you record your voice. On it, Jack said, 'Happy Mother's Day, Grandma! This is Jack!!' I hope the battery never dies. It's on my desk. I would like to hear that forever.
"Until Jack's death, we had been so fortunate; our family had not experienced any tragedy. This stunned us: the realization that in a minute your life can change so dramatically. In a way, this makes me grateful that I'm at the age I am, that I don't have to carry this sorrow with me for the next 60 or 70 years. But our children do."

Marolt: Bode Miller's 'unacceptable'; sponsors stand by their man{mosimage}WENGEN, Switzerland – The head of U.S. skiing on Monday called Bode Miller's comments about drinking and racing "unacceptable" and "irresponsible," and he plans to meet with the champion skier.
Bill Marolt, the president and chief executive of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, released a statement in response to the profile of Miller broadcast on CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday night.
He said Miller's remarks "relative to alcohol use in conjunction with competition are unacceptable within the values expected of U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association athletes."
Marolt, who is based in Park City, Utah, is making an unscheduled trip to this week's World Cup races in Switzerland to speak to Miller to "work with him to both recognize the seriousness of his comments and to reach a positive outcome."
"Not only is the use of alcohol irresponsible on the part of an athlete, but it is also a dangerously inappropriate message to send to participants in our sport, especially young skiers and snowboarders," Marolt said.
The International Ski Federation said it wanted the American ski team to address the latest controversy surrounding the reigning overall World Cup champion.
Miller told the CBS program that "there's been times when I've been in really tough shape at the top of the course."
"Talk about a hard challenge right there. … If you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy," Miller said. "Try and ski a slalom when … you hit a gate less than every one a second, so it's risky, you know. You're putting your life at risk there. It's like driving drunk only there's no rules about it in ski racing."
Miller, who last season became the first U.S. skier to win the overall World Cup title in 22 years, has argued the comments were taken out of context. His agent, Lowell Taub, criticized the way the interview was characterized in excerpts and media accounts.
"The story was more gracious than we were expecting after hearing all the interview hype," Dean Stoyer, a Nike spokesman, told The Associated Press. "Everybody was expecting a devastating story."
"Obviously, Nike doesn't support drinking and skiing, or drinking and sports activities," he added. "The two don't mix. We certainly don't condone that nor recommend being under the influence and skiing."
Barilla pasta representative Fabio Fortina said the Italian company would continue to support Miller.
"We are standing behind him. There is nothing else to say," Fortina told AP. "We are looking forward to the Olympics and are sure Bode will do great things there."
The Winter Games will be held in Torino, Italy, Feb. 10-26.
Miller has drawn attention – and criticism – for his outspokenness.
He has called anti-doping rules in skiing that he deems too strict "a joke," and was fined last month for refusing to take a boot test to ensure his equipment conformed to regulations after a World Cup slalom. (He was already out of contention in that race.) He also has threatened to launch a rebel ski tour.
His irreverent attitude, late-night habits and refusal to compromise with coaches make him popular with the younger generation.
– The Associated Press
Full statement by USSA's Bill Marolt
As the leader of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association I'm proud of what our organization, our coaches and our teams have accomplished athletically this season. And we are excited about our opportunities as we head to the Olympics in Torino next month.
But the on-camera comments by Bode Miller on CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday (Jan. 8) relative to alcohol use in conjunction with competition are unacceptable within the values expected of U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association athletes.
Not only is the use of alcohol irresponsible on the part of an athlete, but it is also a dangerously inappropriate message to send to participants in our sport, especially young skiers and snowboarders.
As members of USSA, we expect Bode and all other athletes to be responsible for their actions and statements that adversely affect our organization and our sport. I will meet with Bode personally this week to discuss the issue and to work with him to both recognize the seriousness of his comments and to reach a positive outcome.

Volleyball Receives Fifth Commitment for 2002 Season
Friday, June 07, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (June 7, 2002) � East Tennessee State volleyball head coach Deane Webb added to an impressive signing class by announcing Friday the signing of Nicole Ryan (Etiwanda, Calif.) to a national letter of intent to play for the Bucs beginning in the 2002 season. Nicole was a multi-sport athlete at Etiwanda High School, competing in volleyball, swimming and water polo. Ryan was a standout in volleyball, being named first team all-league three seasons from 2000-02. She was honored as team most valuable player in each of the last two seasons and was named league MVP in 2002. She was also named second team All-California Intercollegiate Federation following her senior season in 2002. Nicole won Etiwanda's 2002 Scholar Athlete Award and Athlete-of-the-Year. Ryan was a first team member of 2002 all-star volleyball teams by the Los Angeles Times and the Ontario Daily Bulletin. Nicole currently plays club volleyball for the Rancho Valley 18-1 team. Nicole joins Meghan Connolly (Solon, Ohio), Katie Ralph (Port Orchard, Wash.), Kristi Robinson (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Renee Vesey (Paw Paw, Mich.) in the 2002 Buccaneer recruiting class. "Nicole is a very mature and intelligent outside hitter that makes very good decisions on the court," said Webb. "Nicole plays in a high-level club program and high school league, and I feel that will help her greatly as she adjusts to the college game. Bringing another player in that has already played at a high level will do nothing but help our program get to the next level. We are all very excited to have Nicole join our program."

Former Golden Eagle player Polk Brown is in his third season as head coach of the Tennessee Tech men's and women's golf teams. Brown was named July 21, 2011, to the position.
Brown received his bachelor's degree in finance from Tech in 2006, and completed his coursework in August, 2011, adding his master's degree in curriculum and instruction. He spent his first year after graduation as an Apprentice at Holston Hills Country Club in Knoxville, then returned to school in 2009 to begin working toward his master's. He has also worked for two years at Oak Ridge Country Club teaching and hosting junior clinics
"I am absolutely honored to have the opportunity to represent Tennessee Tech," Brown said upon his hiring. "It's a dream come true. The coaches before me, especially Bobby, left a huge legacy for me to try to fulfill, especially in the high principles he held. I remember going to school in August, 2001 and now it's exactly 10 years later I'm coming back as head coach. It's such an honor."
Brown said helping the current and future Golden Eagle players
achieve success in life is his highest priority.
"I just want to represent Tennessee Tech in the best way possible. I am thrilled to be back, and I want to work with these young men and women and help them achieve all they can," Brown said. "I want them to graduate from Tennessee Tech, and I want to help prepare them to be successful for the rest of their lives. I want them to strive for OVC championships, and to become the very best person they can. And, when they look back they can say it was the best time they've ever had."
Brown was a four-year letterman under coach Bobby Nichols, playing for the Golden Eagles from 2001 to 2006, with a redshirt season in 2002-03. As a player, he earned all-tournament honors four times during his career, including the Mercer Invitational as a freshman and both the EKU Spring Invitational and Austin Peay Invitational as a senior. A team captain in his final year, he finished fifth at the 2006 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament to claim his fourth all-tournament honor. In 2001-02 he won the Most Improved Player Award and the Impact Award, and in 2005-06 he received the team's Most Dedicated Player Award.

I've read the manual but don't fully get multi-monster fights. It says you can't chose to fight one, and flee from others. But do you sum up all the monster points and try to beat that in one single combat, or do you fight one monster at a time?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The monsters combine their strengths: you don't fight them one at a time.
This was confirmed by the "Munchkin Czar" at the Steve Jackson Games Forums, and who would dare to argue with a Munchkin Czar? (You may find extra clarification of how multi-monster fighting works by reading through the thread, if you're still at all confused.)
Agreed here, however:
