East Village dim sum in San Leandro
I felt bad for the nice people at this restaurant.
Attentive service (they refilled the teapot twice when it wasn't even empty, and replaced the plates promptly after sticky rice in lotus leaf was done.)
They have a live fish tank.
The food comes in carts and on platters.
The only problem at this restaurant would be turnover. It was practically empty at half past eleven, and only a third full at noon. I was thinking the selection was pretty limited when the cart came around for the second time with the same stuff. So I resigned prematurely and filled up on siu mai, har gow, lo mai gai, shrimp cheong fun. The skin was generally a bit mushy, and the shrimp ever so slightly overcooked, but they were more than passable. (For some reason, dim sum shrimp has never caused me any allergy problems... yay...)
Then wait, I actually changed my mind about their limited selections. I was almost full when more variety kept showing up - platefuls of little red octopus, fung jau, and bak wun fung jau a little later, pork blood cubes, Chinese broccoli, fritters of all sorts, taro cakes, eggplants and stuffed mushrooms, peppers... Not that I'd have chosen many of these, but it made me wonder what would be coming out next.
Then the dan tat. It was delicious. It was actually one of the best egg custards I've had. One of the three had a slightly undercooked crust, but I didn't really mind it. Good size, the custard itself was light, not overly sweet, pleasant texture, yummy. Encouraged by this, I picked another dessert, (don't know the name of this - see the picture below) a flat mochi filled with bright yellow eggy pastry cream. I liked it a lot. I couldn't resist holding the earlobe-pliant doughy cake and stretching it a little just for fun.
I think this restaurant deserves to be visited by more people. Then the carts will come around more frequently, and the food might be even better.
Oh, and the bill came to $21.65 plus tip for 7 dishes.
14736 E 14th St
San Leandro
Also didn't get to try -
(transparent) fried chive dumplings, spare ribs in black bean sauce, cha siu bau, beef balls, sesame balls...
I took your suggestion and tried it on Saturday. I got there at noon and it was full, but not out-the-doors crowded like dim sum places can be.
The items were all very fresh, particularly the shrimp items like shar fan or har gow.
Also on your suggestion I got the flat mochi thing. Only this time it was full of sweet black sesame paste. Very good.
Thanks for the recommendations.
Until the photos come back -
Here's the photo link.
I went back for dinner after boating on Lake Chabot. Their preserved/salted fish fried rice (can't recall the exact name at the moment) came with exceptionally flavorful wok hay, light and ungreasy, and the crunchy shredded lettuce balanced the saltiness wonderfully. I may upload some pictures when photo upload returns.
I have had dim sum there and the only thing i really liked there was the steamed custard buns. But the best dim sum i have had is at The Oriental Tea House 604 Macarthur Blvd
San Leandro, CA. I have never really had anything bad ther, but their custard buns are a bit dry.

Nico Rosberg has called for a team meeting while Lewis Hamilton says he is "very shocked" by Mercedes issuing team orders in Hungary...
Nico Rosberg has called for a team meeting while Lewis Hamilton says he is "very shocked" by Mercedes issuing team orders in Hungary.
On different strategies at the Hungaroring, the Championship protagonists were running one behind the other when on lap 48 Hamilton was told that Rosberg had to pit for a third time - so "don't hold him up."
Several laps went by without any movement from either team-mate, prompting Rosberg to question "Why is he not letting me through?"
Hamilton's response when told again to let the German through was quite simply, "I'm not slowing down for Nico, if he gets closer then he can overtake me."
He didn't, instead coming in on lap 57 for his final stop and then hunting down the Brit to finish just 0.504s behind him in fourth place.
And Rosberg isn't happy about it.
"The team informed that he was going to let me through but I don't know what happened," the 29-year-old told Sky Sports F1.
"We need to discuss internally.
"But I am still in the lead of the World Championship and I'll come back from the summer break on full attack mode."
Rosberg leaves Hungary with an 11-point lead over Hamilton in the race for this year's World title and once again Mercedes is a team under pressure.
As for Hamilton, he was "very, very shocked" that Mercedes had even asked him to move over.
"Obviously I am aware that I was in the same race as him, just because he had one more stop than me doesn't mean I am not in same race," Hamilton told Autosport.
"If I let him past then he could pull away and come back at me later.
"I was very, very shocked that the team would ask me to do that [move aside].
"He didn't get close enough to overtake, I was not going to lift off and lose ground to Fernando [Alonso] or Daniel [Ricciardo], so it was a bit strange."

Universal Network of Education
Today, mankind has invented live and interactive video links to vend values across borders. Incredible storage space for data, swift communication through satellite links, globally available computer chips and communities to work for same cause. If all this technology development and community mobilization is employed to develop a Universal Network of Education the goal of "Education for All" can be realized.
If we can generate similar universal learning activities(Say a-z coaching classes) at the base which produce identical out puts (Virtual Videos) and these outputs ensure single outcome (better learning) the goal (education for all ) can be contributed significantly.
Lets see the above logic of idea to a much smaller scale such as town. If we go down to a town level where say 20000 kids are out of school somewhere in third world. We aim to develop a Town Education Network, Where a town owned community school is run by a Town Educational Committee, All resources are put into a pool to transmit this school live on local tv, internet etc. If only 2000 people ensure identification and registration of only 10 kids each on this local network, the target becomes so easy to achieve. The community ensures every kid is registered with this local network and an independent assessment committee evaluates the students through on line tests. This may sound achievable for local community. All such communities will be linked to national network and all national networks will be plugged into regional networks and finally these make a universal education network.
I propose this as a solution for millions of kids who are out of school right now and this online universal school may help UN to achieve its MDG of Education for All by 2015 by enrolling every kid to this universal school with the help of community.
A global virtual conference may be starting step towards Universal Education Declaration.
Jul 13 2013: There has been a start on such a universal system through so called MOOCS which aim to show free lectures on just about everything online. Its a good idea but can never replace actual universities where individual tutoring and group interaction is also needed.
Jul 14 2013: Frank, i think technology has enabled us to have individual tutoring and group interactions with extremely reduced costs. You are right, actual universities will never be replaced by such system. I am just proposing to develop a strong networking among all these institutes.
Further, i feel that in Higher Education, teachers only facilitate learning process and this will be more interactive if technology is employed to disseminate knowledge. And i think, if a Teacher in Europe gives an outstanding lecture on Particle Physics to say 100 students every week. Do you feel that students in Africa or else where in the world must travel to Europe to attend this lecture? Or we can provide world an access to his class room through technology or record his brilliance in video or put him live on our network for interactive lecture.
I think technology based access will certainly reduce the migration and other associated costs and for our coming generations we should record videos to learn rather writing history to read.
Jul 14 2013: Such approaches to learning are ok but universities also act in other ways, a new socialisation takes place, a new independence as well especially if the student travels and lives away from their parents. The interaction with other students builds new relationships and individuality, gradually the student becomes an independent person in their own right. Then there is the example the teachers at university can provide, their character and especially the sense of an intellectual atmosphere, all these things are of value.
Jul 15 2013: Frank, no one can deny the importance of universities. However, i am suggesting to build a universal education system which will take start from toddlers and gradually build itself towards higher education. I feel, today if millions of kids are not at schools, we are all responsible for it and we have to think for them and take some appropriate measures to at least teach them basics.
I have seen them eating garbage, playing with industrial waste, wasting their childhood in begging and living miserably. So i felt for them and now proposing a universal agenda for these kids.Jul 14 2013: "Its a good idea but can never replace actual universities where individual tutoring and group interaction is also needed."
You'd be surprised how bad at teaching, universities are. A lot of these guys are professors or researchers who don't really give a shit about teaching, they just want to do research, but it's the school that required these people to teach semester courses or else they're fired. Almost none of them know how to teach, and they think way too technically. So things that appear to common sense to them, is gibberish to most students.
At least that's what goes on at my school, Georgia Tech. Do you know how we studied for Calculus exams or where we consulted to for help?
The internet.
We looked at KhanAcademy videos, we looked for Youtube videos, we read articles that articulate the concepts very well. Almost 0 learning comes from the lectures. People go facebooking or sleeping or just straight up skipping because there's nothing to engage with.
But yes, universities are still pretty irreplaceable, HOWEVER, a closer look, you really see that 70% of the learning pretty much comes from those online resources, and like 30% from talking with others, tutoring outside of class, and hands-on experience, or just reading the textbooks because even though they still suck in my opinion, they do a better job explaining than most of the university professors, which is really sad.
Jul 14 2013: James, your experience at Georgia Tech is not different than my experience at my university. During my Engineering studies, i never gained much in class rooms but through self exploration.
Jul 14 2013: But what initiates self exploration?
That is the PRIMARY goal for lectures and classrooms, and the teaching takes care of itself.

Jul 13 2013: Let me fill in some gaps to my previous comment.
- +2
First of all, it would be very difficult to broadcast a generic teaching program to a bunch of kids who are never exposed to such experience. Secondly, even if a girl has a TV or Computer in the family, she may not have the skill to navigate, or is not allowed, to watch the program at the designated time or the designated channel. Therefore, the better approach would be that a small "classroom " is arranged in each village, so the "student could attend there with only 1 or 2 volunteers to assist them,if necessary.
This kind of project should actually better start small, then gradually expand by word of mouth, if they are successful. In other word, the "students" will come in grooves without urging if the program is proven successful.
Also, the "certification" mentioned in my previous post would not be equivalent as a diploma, nevertheless it should serve the purpose of confirming the effort of the network as well as the individual "students" for their devotion and achievement.
Jul 14 2013: Bart. you are right we need to develop a pilot program initially for much small scale, to understand the operational hurdles and response of community. And i feel one community owned class room must be opened in every country in pilot phase.
Assessment through certification is not a bad idea. Like we can have periodic assessment to verify the progress of learning and final grade certification to advance the students in next higher grade environment.Jul 18 2013: Universal Network of Education aims outreaching millions out of school poor children from poor communities during next 5 years and educates them through information technology based informal interventions.
In its chase to accomplish the ideals of education for all, the project has three strategic areas i.e. collaboration with major players working for education in world, enhancing community mobilization for education and increasing access to quality education
1. Enhance collaboration with other education organizations for child education
2. Enhance Community Mobilization about child education
3. Increase Access to Quality EducationJul 14 2013: A timely subject Qamar! I did not understand everything you wrote.
I'm also interested in getting a universal network of education. Especially something that can help those that do not have a class room. can you explain with the universal example then?
Jul 15 2013: Manishka Windweaver, the most difficult thing is to explain the dream or vision. To me, the biggest problem around is ignorance and above all culture of ignorance. To me all vicious circles somehow end up with ignorance e.g. Poverty and Ignorance, Terrorism and Ignorance, Extremism and Ignorance etc.
Let me put it in simple words. Suppose there are nomads who are living below poverty line some where in India. They are travelling and finding temporary shelters around. They cant afford to send their kids to school therefore their kids will never learn the skills to become skillful to compete the world. They ll remain poor as their parents are forever. So see the circle of poverty and ignorance. One is poor therefore cant afford education and if wont receive education will remain poor. Same is true for other vicious circles.
I am proposing a model where world is helping these kids to come out of this vicious circle with the help of technology. A 5 years old kid, say in US, is learning how to teeth brush and keep his/her teeth healthy. With the help of Universal Network of Education, this learning process can be shown to the poor kids in India with the help of Manishka. What Manishka is doing, Identifying only 10 kids, helping them to get registered with our network and facilitate 1 hour class on her laptop or Tv. This way, we establish a universal network where kids will at least learn the basic skills. Suppose you let them learn for 1 hour daily for 5 years, it amounts 1825 hours of learning in the lives of kids who otherwise spend these hours in non productive activities.
I know this example raises some fundamental questions about the process. I welcome all those questions. Please dont jump into setting goals and objectives, lets spend some time in understanding the problem first. Thanks
Jul 16 2013: I've been working on my own goals and objectives for several years now just like every teacher out there. There are many working on understanding the problem in quantitative ways already out there. Concerted effort would be great, however, wars and terrorism will always disengage regions from any official treaties. Being better prepared with contingency plans to continue education in such situations would be good.
The circles of poverty, nomadism, extremism, would all benefit from having the existing teachers equipped with entire curriculums saved on electronic media. Curriculums will continuously evolve in countries that put effort into research. Being prepared with any curriculum is better than being stuck without any at all.
getting a network to identify children who need education would be a great thing. It can be started immediately on a small scale and it can evolve.
anyway, best of luck.
Jul 16 2013: Manishka, the identification can be started but i think if network is not ready to teach these kids, the identification will serve no purpose. Once we have designed at least course for 1 year, identification process should not be initiated.
I hope if you could share your thoughts about these out of school kids in your country, it will be of great use for us.Jul 16 2013: very very large poverty/ignorance cycle. oopps gotta go, work, will elaborate tomorrowJul 17 2013: ok, so anyway, yes identifying kids without having anything prepared is a waste of time. unless you're doing research into what they need.
I'm working on something slightly different which is to get content into electronic media that doesn't require internet connections, or international agreements, something that can be passed along without having official school attendance, and trying to push the limits on reducing the number of professionals needed to get certification.
good luck with your venture.Jul 14 2013: I envision appealing International Development Agencies, Governments, Local NGOs, International NGOs, Existing School Networks, Media Groups and Educational Charity Based Foundations to develop a consortium to achieve the ideals of quality education in world. The idea of developing consensus among stakeholders about education cause needs to be consolidated into concept note. This project will aim to invite all possible donors to become the part of innovative consortium which will act as common pool of resources to achieve desired objectives. Resource pool consists of seeding funds, unrestricted grants, material support, expert human resource and administrative support.

Jul 13 2013: I just read a news report that a girl from Pakistan; Malala Yousafzai, has given a speech in the UN, For her goal of promoting girls' education in Pakistan. I feel sad that such an obvious good goal and policy had to be be raised by a 16 year old girl who had suffered greatly for her opinion. I am all for such proposal or the endeavor to establish the networks.
- +1
A more practical approach would be a network of district entities which will mange the TV/internet channels to broadcast such education curriculum AND MANAGE THE TESTING AND CERTIFICATION OF SUCH PROGRAMS. The teaching materials can be easily collected or modified from outside sources with broadcasting teaching experiences, and translated into appropriate languages, if necessary, by the local groups. Of course, the local group should design/write certain materials which are unique for the country or the region.
Finally, let me say a few words about the freedom of speech and education in a democracy. The citizens must not be deterred by terrorists for the sake of improvement of education and human rights. All free citizens have to stand up to the pressure like Malala did, otherwise there could be no hope.
Jul 13 2013: In Pakistan, state of education is in dismay. The gravity of situation can be traced in alarming indicators of education reported back in late nineties. According to the 1998 provincial population census reports, the school age population of the age group 5-9 years was more than 20 million. Of this about 11 million (57%) never attended school (Memon, 2007). After 14 years those 11 million illiterate are now the feed of Pakistan's labor markets. This presents a bleak picture of productivity and human capital for knowledge industry. Recent research indicates that 25 million children are out of school and yet 7 million children have to receive any formal education. If these children are not identified and educated, in coming ten years Pakistan will bear the burden of unproductive and unskilled labor force.
We completely support Malala and committed to bring change through our innovative education network. We need your valuable support and guidance to develop this project.Jul 14 2013: This sounds to me like a normal classroom, broadcasting a program because of a lack of teachers or funding.
Jul 15 2013: That's exactly what I meant in my post. You must understand that it is impossible for the Pakistan government or private businesses to finance such large number of schools within a short period (so that many poor people can afford to have their children to learn, actually to reach a high school graduate level, not university level), through electronic media. I personally don't advocate that university or professional school education can be done in this way.
This arrangement would be better managed by at least consolidating the media equipments and keeping some record of attendance than broadcasting the programs into individual homes which may not be reachable without someone to donate such equipments to most of the homes.
Jul 15 2013: I agree with you Bart, in that financing is a problem for a very proportion of the world, and I have something in mind. I haven't figured out all the details yet.
The goals I'm setting are:
1. no classroom attendance required
2. No teacher required
3. Learn at your own pace
4. measurable results
5. offer variety
6. extremely interesting so that the child or adult will be motivated to continue once introduced
7. Covers k-12 levels in English, Regional language, Math, History, Geography, Biology, Zoology, Chemistry, Physics, Life skills, Human Rights, computer science. (to be expanded when possible)
My first thought was to have a single really addictive online game like Everquest to cover a person's whole education. But I can't program, so other than suggesting it to the right people, there's nothing I can personally do to realize it.
What I can do is to find the nearest approximation.
The resources already available are: Curriculum standards that are pretty much standard world wide, TV shows, apps, computer games, you tube videos.
I can compile collections of these in order and put together modules of a year, a month, a week and put them online. Khan academy has this started already, but I would expand it. people have different perspectives, so having 3 or 4 different explanations by different people might help. also format such as tv shows, games need to be included for each concept. The games are actually practice exercises aren't they.
With this base, get some help finding funding to put these on memory cards, pen drives, cell phones, talk to the one laptop per child guy about distributing computers through us without established classrooms.
Establish testing centers/ lending libraries in areas where internet access is restricted and in poor neighborhoods.
Having classrooms would of course be great, but as we have seen in cases such as Malala, it may not always be safe. That's why I say no requirement of having a particular place to go.Jul 13 2013: Open (Source) Education ftw!
But Qamar, I can tell you thought this through incredibly hard, any company or job will respect your passion for this, or else they're retarded, but that's ok, retarded companies don't last long in the marketplace.
So I'm afraid this was a little too technical for most people. I kind of understood it, but only having read through a few times what your idea was.
So here's the underlying problem that you'll need to figure out for yourself.
How can you engage us on your idea? A lot of Ted people here are very good at listening, but not a lot of people out there are like Ted people.
You can PM me if you need some help :)
Jul 13 2013: Dear James, Thanks for your inputs and i am glad that you got it at last. I tried to explain it as simple as possible. The vertical logic of the project is simplified and Town example was given for people who can not grasp it for whole world. Initially i wrote the global example then i thought it would be difficult for some people to understand.
However, i ll explain the idea in more simplified version.
Stick around please
Jul 13 2013: Lol no problem, I've decided to take a day off and just chill on my computer almost all day.Aug 11 2013: How is this system going to overcome the cultural differences which makes communication very difficult? Back in the Sixties, the UN supported the development of standard signs for the world. They had to give up on color, certain symbols, and discussion of the symbol for man and woman took months and still caused major problems in several countries.Jul 22 2013: I am trying to expand the discussion further in Project Designing.
For this universal education network we are following a logic which is very simple and incorporates theory of change (TOC, you can google it for better understanding)
The vertical logic strats with the proposition that goal will be contributed if pre-conditions are met( or outcomes realized). Outcomes will be realized are achieved if strategic objectives are met. Strategic Objectives will be achieved if universal activities are carried out. Activities for such larger scale will be carried out if unified inputs(Capital+HR) will be made available.
Pre-Conditions(Outcomes which must be achieved for contribution in Goal)
Strategic Objectives to achieve above outcomes
Activities (Project Interventions)
So Far we have developed top two area i.e. Goal and Pre-conditions. You can go through this conservation for understanding this apparently complex project which we are trying to make as simple as possible for you. ThanksJul 17 2013: Let me make a brief comment which probably is related to the most timely and geographically relevant to your network education plan.
Before you finalize the entire course content, be sure to send your staff out to talk to several small and medium size businesses and other institutions as to what kind of skills they would like their hiring any temporary help summer employees or young trainees to be suitable for their recruiting preference. Isn't this the most effective bases for your planning guidelines? Furthermore, even if we hope that some of the student might be able to start as a young entrepreneur, still in most past history, most young entrepreneurs started with gaining skills and confidence through their work experience.
Because I really can't be familiar with the situation in your region or country, thus it is more appropriate to start the "opinion survey" in your place. The sample size needs not be too large, but rather needs to cover a reasonable types of potential employers. As I mentioned in my comment about the number of classrooms (it doesn't have to be too many anyway), it is more convenient to make the survey locally in areas where you have already recruited the volunteers to work for this program.Jul 16 2013: Bart,
Your suggestions are very valuables and you shared your experience which if children can see in the form of 1 hour lecture video in Pakistan, they would definitely be amazed about your experience. Infact, i am always a strong advocate for informal education.
Your point is well considered in which you suggested to focus on entrepreneurship learning in high school. Which we ll include in the recommendations for curriculum committee. We have however always considered that a kid after 5 years of informal learning must be able to keep his expense sheet on our network, which will be key performance indicator about his skills in math and finance.
We are going to educate these kids through technology, so our educated kid will be able to take notes on a digital note book and ll demonstrate practically how to seek information from internet and how to select from information and paste it in his notebook. So technology is at the core of our learning theory.
Your 3rd point is also very important as we are going to teach them basic skills about contacting the world through email or text messages and how to describe different situations.
I ll be very glad, if you please narrate a more about out of school kids in your country or community.Jul 16 2013: Let me offer my 2-cents worth of opinion here:
The education of children in high schools anywhere, especially in Pakistan, should be aimed at knowledge of practical skill to be able to operate a small business or services in the immediate area of the students' village. I would suggest the following subject areas:
1. The handling of money for a small business, such as how to get a bank loan and how to handle the purchase and the sale of commodities. Or how to determine the charge rate for a service rendered, etc. Also they must have a little knowledge of the government regulation on small business and the taxes on their income. All these things might not be needed for the preparation for college education, but they would be more beneficial for the students who wouldn't get to the colleges immediately. I myself quit school at the age of 14, but, believe me, when I finally went back to college/graduate school, the knowledge I acquired through my work experience still helped me tremendously. In other words, these life experience/skill will always be beneficial in life regardless whether one has a college education or not.
2. Some "knowledge" of the new technology is also helpful, which can be introduced through visual demonstrations.
3. Of course, language skills are extremely important, not necessarily in literature, but in the skill of verbal or text communication with the others.
In summary, you should carefully choose the video edu materials (from all the sources) as a generalized (non-profession-specific) vocational education rather than preparation for colleges. Of course, you should make up a special module for the general citizenship duties/obligations for Pakistanis only.

Jul 16 2013: Thanks Deepak for your prayers. I wish if you could help us in designing the project logic. ?Jul 15 2013: Sugata Mitra is keynote at The Conference, 2013; he is speaking on 'The Future of Education'.
The event is an innovative (not-for-profit) educational conference for teachers on October 19th. www.contemporarylearning.net. @contemplearn #CLConference.
Professor Guy Claxton, Phil Beadle and Brian Ashton MBE (among others) are also all talking at what will be a fantastic CPD event for educators at all levels.
Book now to avoid disappointment. If The Network (currently under construction) can help your vision for global education then please let me know.
Jul 16 2013: Your site mentioned does not provide any useful information about network.Jul 15 2013: I propose that this project may be divided into different phases.
Phase 1- Development of Consensus among nations about out of school kids
Outcome: Agreement on Universal Education Policy and Consensus on allocating desired Resources
Out Puts: Universal Education Policy Document and Detailed Project Planning Document
Major Activities: Universal Education Conference
Detailed Activities: Raising awareness through Media Campaigns for universal consensus, Preparing Agenda for Universal Conference through Documentaries, Movies, Books and Community projects to pave way for consensus among stakeholders.
As a starting point, a project may be initiated as a Pilot Program in different regions of the world to identify the educational problem of these kids who don't go to school. As international development agencies like USAID, DFID etc are already working on this global issue, they can act as catalyst of change in this regard. A regional conference may bring all stakeholders on same pitch. These regional and national efforts may become a foundation for Universal system of education. All countries may be asked to prepare their educational emergency response fund to cater the needs of these out of school kids. A collective effort and agenda will definitely contribute towards increasing access to quality education for these kids.Jul 15 2013: For better understanding i am trying to put up things in a vertical logic.
"Universal Network of Education to provide free access to quality education to all" may be our Goal which is at the top of this logic.
Pre-Conditions which may ensure the achievement of this goal and have to be in place in this vertical logic may be as follows
1. Universal Education Curriculum in all possible languages
2. An online Website solution which ensures availability of courses and materials
3. A virtual video network dedicated to ensure linking with all stakeholders
4. A universal technical team of experts to ensure smooth functioning of network
5. Worldwide registration of Kids with Network
6. A dedicated community of universal teachers
7. Universal Evaluation and Assessment Committee
( there can be more, please suggest if you think alike)Jul 13 2013: Some people say that identification of 1 million kids sounds impossible. I feel, if 100,000 people take this job to identify only 10 kids, the target will be achieved in one day (100,00x10=1 million). These kids can be found in segments which are poor and living in slums. So individual target is only 10 kids and i found these kids in a day which are out of school. I found them in my poor relatives, in nomads living just outside my town and in slums of my city.
Jul 13 2013: It's not impossible at all.
1 kid can identify himself and pass on the message to 5 more people they know. This kind of shit happens on Facebook all the time lol. I think that's what you've been trying to say, is it not?
Jul 13 2013: Sir, i am talking about the kids who never attended any school what to talk about facebook. These kids are unaware about internet. The community workers have to extend their hands to introduce them to network.
Jul 13 2013: Let's play a game.
The rules are simple.
1. Send me a letter stating your name and date of birth. My address is 1234 SomeAddress.
2. Tell five more people you know to do the same.
This is how information on social media spreads so fast. Word of mouth to a small number of people.Jul 13 2013: Would it not be preferable to provide more flexibility in the offerings learners can tap rather than having a single uniform offering?
Jul 13 2013: Dear Reisner, The problem statement says there are 28 million children out of school live in the world's conflict zones, and more than half of those are women and girls. The first challenge is to identify these out of school kids. Alone in Pakistan 7 million kids are out of school with age group (4-9), in Pakistan there are more than 120 districts and if every district makes such a community network we ll have more than 120 class room experiences available for a newcomer to choose, to compare and to learn from these online class rooms.
Fritzie -
Jul 13 2013: I wish you the greatest success in reaching these many children.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Franklin Yon on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the surname, derived from Middle English frankeleyn 'freeman', denoting a member of a class of men who were not of noble birth but who were nevertheless freeholders. The vocabulary word is derived from Old French franc, meaning both 'free' and 'Frankish'. The connection between freemen and Franks is reflected in the Late Latin term francalia, originally denoting lands held by Franks, which came to mean lands not subject to taxes. The given name is now quite common, especially in the United States, where it is often bestowed in honour of the statesman and scientist Benjamin Franklin (1706–90). A more recent influence was President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945).
|562nd in the U.S.
French: from the Latin personal name Ionis, which also occurs as an element of place names. The personal name was popularized by a 3rd-century Athenian saint who evangelized Châtres (present-day Arpajon), where he was martyred. As an American family name, it is probably of Huguenot origin.
|11,031st in the U.S.

I just went over the Drafts from 2007-2012 and wow. Year after year of boneheaded picks that amounted to nothing. When will this guy just leave!!!???
I just went over the Drafts from 2007-2012 and wow. Year after year of boneheaded picks that amounted to nothing. When will this guy just leave!!!???
Have you bothered to take a look at our very own draft history? Miami Dolphins historically are terrible at drafting! The only era we were good at it waqs when Jimmy Johnson was here and we were still only good at picking up defensive players and hitting on about 50% of those defensive picks. We have never drafted well, sporadically we have drafted a few gems here and there, but as an organization we suck at drafting.....I believe fans on this site could have drafted better over the last 30 years a hell of a lot better than what we've been forced to root for!
Taking a look at the last decade and the GM that has done the best for us is our GM, and please don't make me out to be for Ireland because I am not, but the facts are facts.....he sucks, but our history of drafting sucks too!
Also, keep in mind when you are blasting someone blast them for what they are responsible for, not someone else's failure. Ireland came in to power in 2008 along with Parcells, Gaines and Sparano.
The Browns (granted they have had like 3 or 4 different GMs) haven't exactly set the world on fire with their drafting during the same time frame.
The Rams old GM (Devaney?) had some horrible drafts
Brian Xander's 2009 draft was very bad, and outside of Von Miller his draft picks have been okay at best.
Rick Spielman hasn't done so hot in Minny after getting lucky drafting Adrian Peterson
One of the reasons the Colts sucked so bad last year without Peyton was Polian's poor drafting.
Gene Smith in Jacksonville hasn't had a good hit-to-miss ratio recently.
Marty Hurney is lucky Cam Newton is looking so good. 2007 was his last great draft (Jon Beason, Ryan Kalil, and Charles Johnson) and he got Jonathan Stewart a year later. But he missed on a lot (including trading a first rounder to move up in the 2nd for Everette Brown)
AJ Smith had 2 very good drafts in 04 and 05 but his drafts have steadily gotten worse.
Jerry Angelo just got fired from Chicago because his drafts had gotten pretty bad.
So other GMs have had rough stretches, but our problem goes beyond Ireland as we really haven't had a long term good draft for awhile. The 2005 draft under Saban looked good early but ended up a dud. Same with The 2008 draft under Ireland and Parcells. Hell people loved our 2010 draft as well.
Matt Millen.
The Bills. flat out disgusting.

Parcells had way too much influence to take a shot at Ireland. I actually think he has done well the past two years. He needs to hit on a seam threat tight end though.

Not long ago, we raved about Cargotecture's ingenius cargo dwellings. Last week, the NY Times wrote about another cargo master, Adam Khalkin, who unveiled his new Push Button House at this week's Art Basel Miami Beach.
The Push Button house is a single cargo container with motorized doors that open at the push of a button to reveal a plush interior. Khalkin has also designed a 3-bedroom house with five cargo containers called the Quik House and a mini version called the A-Pod. His own house is made of twelve cargo containers in an airport hangar shell (see below).
Though the corrugated orange exteriors of shipping containers are fairly unvaried, Khalkin makes up for the uniform exteriors with a limitless palette of interior options. As he said to the New York Times: "You come up with a core idea and then there are all of these spin-offs. It's like making a good bomb. You want it to fragment into five thousand pieces, not just split in half." This unexpected (and rather unsettling) analogy is on par with Khalkin's generally eccentric and multifarious aesthetic, which comes through at his website – worth a look.

I have a dream of starting my own business and once I get enough money to build a facility from scratch I plan on hiring someone who can build it using cargo bins! I think it is a great creative and cool looking way to construct buildings…I do wonder on the prices of buying x amount of cargo bins under the assumption they aren\'t free.

[…] If you were to look up "mad genius" in the dictionary, you might find a picture of Adam Kalkin. One glance through his vast portfolio and it's clear that this is not the work of an ordinary mind. The bulk of Kalkin's large-scale work involves shipping containers and steel Butler buildings. His cargo dwellings were featured last December in the New York Times and won an instantly fanatical audience (ourselves included). […]

The possibilities are endless, the limitations are substantial. How many of us have a spare warehouse or airplane hanger available? I do like the container reuse because they are a hideous necessity for globalization.

Woah, i can ship my home anywhere! Imagine asking your child to "Go to your container!". I wonder how does the water stay inside the toilet bowl though. Or maybe you're supposed to unplug it from the sewers…

i love it. i have had dreams of what it would be like to make a home out of tractor trailer beds. you could put them in a square and have a 4 to 5 bedroom home with dividing one tractor bed into thirds and having 3 bedrooms and the one into thirds making 2 bedrooms (1 master bedroom with bath), and a bathroom and the other one a kitchen and the 4th as a window to show off the center of it all as a dining and livingroom area. some of the tractor trailer companies have gone out of business and the beds are just in a parking lot and wasting away when they could become homes.
thanks for listining to me,

I am excited about this most practical application of materials. I always wondered what to do with those extra bedrooms children leave behind as they grow. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could help them load their old bedroom/ new studio on a flatbed, worry less and have more open interior space?! Lets hope he doesn't quit fragmenting,

How would you redesign the current high school program?
I have the opportunity to help completely redesign a local high school program. There's no debate that drastic reforms are needed and I was hoping you would have some ideas on what should be added, what should be altered and what should be scrapped altogether. I'm looking for a wide range of answers from specific details to broader ideas on the whole system. Don't hold back. Im looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
Zach Both
Dec 7 2011: And I really digging the gamification video. I especially agree with the point system. Positive is way better than negative.Dec 4 2011: http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/gamifying-education
- +1
I'm a game designer, so the ideas proposed in the above link are very interesting to me. Even if games are "not your thing", I do recommend watching it. It's a very thought provoking video, in my opinion.
Dec 5 2011: great video. gamification is definately the way to go.Dec 5 2011: Well, there are games and games. Civilization was a laudable example of how to teach good governance and appreciation of the art of politics (or policymaking) while Red Alert, Age of Empires and others are not. The latter are simply about amassing wealth in order to buy more weapons BUT WITH NO CIVILIANS and THAT is extremely dehumanizing. Meanwhile, Civilization included civilians and every move you made as a player had a political price -- if you raised taxes to buy more weapons, local discontent rose and once it reached a certain level, your own population would side with any invader in case of attack.
The dehumanizing games have already exercised powerful, negative control over kids. During the Columbine Massacre, the student killers laughed liked they'd hit a jackpot of points; there is footage of an Apache helicopter attack in Iraq where the radio talk was regularly punctuated with cheers of approval and laughter; there is footage of private security contractors driving down a highway in Iraq taking free shots at anybody who happened to be roadside along their path.
That's scary because it seems clear to me that these hyper-realistic shoot-em-up games are completely blurring the big thick bright red line our conscience should have between symbolic targets in a game and real human beings with parents, spouses, kids and grandkids.
Then the soldiers go home and wonder why they get locked into the psychotraumatic vortex called PTSD.
Dec 5 2011: While I don't exactly agree that the cheers of approval and laughter from soldiers can be attributed to video games (you can find examples of that far before video games came around), that's not really the point of gamification. If you haven't watched the video, I recommend you do. It has very little to do with playing actual video games.Dec 9 2011: students should not have to ask permission to use the restroom. Teachers should express themselves as who they are and not follow a strict code of conduct, kids become more involved when they can relate to their teachers. have kids identify their hobbies and intrests, then Let them construct a project on the scholarly aspects of their interests Ex. hip hop music could be turned into music theroy or music production technology. most kids have cellphones so integration of that technology and enrichment on its circuitry could be a option. theres a common penalty for students who exceed and absence limit that results in stripping students of all their hard earned credits, i was given this penalty after my early tardies had allotted in absences, in retrospect it is my biggest grievence with public schools and is detrimental to the self esteem of kids who fall victim to its irrelevant wrath.students of all ages commonly all ask the same question to themselves whats my purpose?believe me when i say students will absorb allot of knowledge if you show them how to find the answer, in fact alot students have lower interest in learning when they think the answer cant be found. offer philosophy classes they are very underrated but in my opinion are greatly helpful for intrinsic learning.rows and isles are boring and dull let kids move there desk to any location they feel is comfortable allow students to decorate the room, its their learning environment so it must be naturally inspirational to them you could slip in a clever lesson about creativity and aesthetics. that reminds me if there is a group of kids talking, invade their group and relate the discussion to education. i have seen jaws drop when students realize how many academic subjects relate directly to their lives. swearing has become common use no one is trying to disrespect anyone. so let the swears slide. behavioral punshiments shouldn't inhibit the students ability to learn instead embarass him in front of his peerDec 8 2011: I'd just like to come back to the points system in gameification for a second. I agree completely with the positive message that you are trying to send with it as in you are earning by learning rather than losing marks for not knowing things. In Ireland the secondary education system is run on a points system basis. You spend 5-6 years in school, the first three of which are all built up to one big exam called the Junior Certificate. The idea is that you get an idea of what you want to do during these years and then narrow down. So after the JC you take 3 mandatory classes (English, Maths and The Irish Language) and 4 optional subjects from a list of 20, then study these for 2 years and sit the Leaving Certificate exam. The LC is points based ie. an A plus=100 points an A=90 etc. Then college courses here have entry requirements eg. Journalism=440 points. You are graded on your top 6 subjects and those points essentially decide if you go to college. On paper it is a good system but the arts and creativity are very undernourished. I just said I would use this as an example of where a gameification points system could go wrong!
Zach I like your idea quite a lot. Giving them three years of experiencing many different subjectsand then having them focus further in their final year is a very sensible way to go I think. However I would suggest that you not limit them to one subject or even one area in their final year. Perhaps allow them to take two options and focus in on them. It will give them a broader view on things in my opinion. As well at that age I dont think anyone is sure of what they want to do for the rest of their lives! A student may pick one thing to focus on and by the end of that year find they have no long term interest and are left high and dry. Have a look at work placement with local businesses too. We run that here and it works very well. Hope this is of some help!Dec 7 2011: Please forgive my poor taste.Dec 7 2011: Thanks for all the suggestions everyone but I think this thread got a little off topic haha. I'll propose my ideas to help further discussion.
While it is absolutely needed, a total reform of the largest public school district in Wisconsin would be near impossible (this district is where the high school in question is located). Hence these ideas are meant to work within the current school system's guidelines. I should further state that the high school being referred to is very small. About 30 students per grade level.
It seems like schools love to be categorized. You have college preparatory schools. Art schools. Technical schools. Etc Etc. This in many ways is flawed. Schools should be able to cater to all types of students with all types of skills. That's why I propose that the first three years of high school are spent filling the prerequisites required for graduation. At the same time students should explore multiple areas and subjects that may (or may not interest them). It's by trying new things that you realize what you like or dislike.
Now here's the kicker: The fourth year is spent as an in-depth independent study with a focus on internship and mentoring. Simply speaking, students will spend their senior year pursuing whatever interests them the most. For me, I was deeply passionate about filmmaking in high school. In this program, I would spend the entire year planning, writing and producing a film that would be shown at the end of the year. Another student who may be interested in business would work pursuing something entrepreneurial like starting a business of some sorts. For those who are not quite sure what they want to do, they would be provided with a list of things to choose from. The possibilities are endless.
This would allow student's education to be hands-on and individually-tailored. They say the best way to learn is by doing. Thoughts?Dec 6 2011: I would create some permaculture principles as part of the learning community. Using the positive, solutions-oriented holistic design science of permaculture, we can redesign our urban environment to integrate harmoniously with nature, learning to observe and solve problems the way she does. There are several resources for course materials on the internet.Dec 6 2011: When games and other tools of indoctrination repeatedly involve you in experiencing a given virtual reality more intensely than direct personal experience,and thereby to trust it more, they strangle your soul.
Have a nice day!
Dec 6 2011: I don't think that shooting someone in real life is experienced "less intensely" than doing so in a video game. Also, I don't understand what you mean when you say "they strangle your soul". However, I really don't think it's in good taste to have this conversation here, since Zach made this thread hoping to get suggestions on how to redesign his current high school program. If you start a new topic about this, I'm sure there will be many people (myself included), who would love to talk about it.Dec 5 2011: Carlos, I agree: I simply went into instant fulmination rather unthinkingly.
My apology.
Still, virtual reality is rendering direct personal experience increasingly obsolete and, well, that scares me.
Have a nice day; I had no intention of offending.
Dec 6 2011: No need to apologize. I know it is a topic that a lot of people are concerned about, and thus, should be talked about and debated (Perhaps not here though, in the interest of not "hijacking" Zach's thread). I was not offended at all, and actually, I would really be interested in having that conversation/debate with anyone who'd be interested.Dec 5 2011: 1. Shut down the school so you can fire all the teachers fairly.
2. Poll the kids to see what they want to do, or could learn by doing. (Get the abstract thinkers into artwork and the manually intuitive into woodworking and whatnot)
3. If the number of "don't know" is too big, bring in a variety of artisans, tradesmen and professionals so kids can shop around (In the West, we're good at locking kids into zero reset mode and pulling the plug before restart).
4. Hire the ones the kids like. (We all learn best from people we like).
5. Renovate the school building in function of the new activities (every activity deserves a dedicated space).
6. Under the renovation line item, include installation of dormitories where kids can sleep over (precious for kids from disturbed and disturbing family lives).
7. Other thoughts are (1) "classes" may not need fixed classroom periods, but each teacher has a homeroom that functions as an ongoing workshop and the school functions like a mall for skillset shopping, (2) take care to select artisans and such under Point 3 hereinabove for maximum diversity of every sort -- an excellent model to emulate is the one used in Switzerland for selecting cabinet ministers where you find yourself stuck looking for an extremely specific blend of professional, ethnic and background criteria in a candidate in order to preserve global balance that makes every citizen feel an emotional bond to the government of a country with perhaps the least famous capital in Western Europe, (3) give kids the option to pursue a course until the teacher gives them a simple "certificate of competence" or "certificate of excellence" but at a lower level, let the transcript simply state "n" weeks' exposure to a given subject.
There's more but this should get you started.
Cheers!Dec 4 2011: There are several core courses that I find essential.
1. Communication. I know it's taught in school already. But the existing program is designed to run for a total of almost 5 minutes over a period of 12 years. This doesn't cut it. Every course and every person, every company that you come into contact will be made more grand or less grand by your ability to effectively communicate. Communication is of course not merely speaking or merely listening. Communication skills are learning skills. When a person or group can communicate well, it can teach or learn well. It doesn't really matter if you have a great violin if you don't know how to use it. But if you possess good communication skills, you can acquire knowledge in any and all subjects with ease. Communication skills will help you with personal relationships be it parent, friend, lover or child. You'll replace frustration with understanding. You'll replace fear with ability. You'll be the most powerful human you can be.
The thing is...there are virtually no teachers who currently have good communication skills themselves, whether school teachers or parents. We as a society have to design a program first that is effective, train our teachers (includes parents) and then they can train our students. This is the most important course in Med School, Law School, Psych, Business School etc and "oh yeah, it's not a course". How'd they miss this one?
2. Responsibility. Sounds simple. It is. But it takes a while to learn how and where to apply it. It takes a while to gain a universal perspective on the subject so that one might aptly apply it. It cuts across the fabric of most everything and defines a large percentage of how we view ourselves, our abilities and therefore what we can achieve for ourselves and others. It is a BIG DEAL.
Dec 5 2011: Interpersonal communication, conflict management and alternate spiritual belief systems & traditions, plus modern dance or some sort of art physical expression are almost mandatory. Ideally, the teacher just shuts up and mines the kids for what they can teach each other.
The trouble with many Western teachers is that they are used to functioning autonomously, with few teamwork skills yet they're supposed to oversee a classroomful of kids who are supposed to function harmoniously after being seriously indoctrinated with the fallacy that the only path to success is to get noticed as a celebrity or some other sort of dysfunctional individualist.Dec 4 2011: it should be based on these principles. http://www.tubeplus.me/player/1964652/Athene%26rsquo%3Bs_Theory_of_Everything/

I have a question about which gear to use and what you think my chances of success are welding an aluminum speedboat.
I have a friend who badly smashed up an aluminum speedboat. He's willing to buy the gear needed to weld it. We're shopping for gear in a small town in Venezuela so there's not a lot of choice of machines. But there is a MIG and a TIG machine for sale, and I beleive there's a place that has argon gas.
I've never MIG or TIG welded but I have some field experience with stick welding.
My friend did find a MIG and a TIG machine for sale, though the owner says "they won't weld aluminum". What are the requirements for a MIG or TIG machine for welding thin aluminum? I've seen very expensive and fancy units demonstrated on YouTube welding Coke cans. I certainly won't be able to get a machine like that.
My friend is going to get the model number of the machines for sale and I'll post them when I have them.
So what are my chances of being successful starting out with MIG or TIG with possibly less than ideal gear on an aluminum speedboat? What's your gut feeling?
Any input would be appreciated!

NO EXPERIENCE with either mig or tig.
Thin aluminum.
I'm guessing you don't have a snowball's chance in hades of making a satisfactory repair in the next 12 months.
Thin aluminum that's been exposed to oxidation from salt water is a challenge even for an experienced tigger who's used to working with thin material.Syncrowave 250 DX Tigrunner

More info
Just a bit more info. The TIG welder my friend found for sale is a:
Chicago Electric TIG 240 volt and says it is an Inverter Arc / TIG welder
Does this up my chances?
02-22-2012, 07:20 PM #7turbo38t Guest
Chicago Electric TIG 240 is sold at Harbor Freight I believe. Need I say more. I'm not even sure this machine will produce AC current.
Why not use the money for gear and hire an experienced welder to do the repair? It's not fun to be in a sinking boat, trust me.

Dude you are really barking up the wrong tree... First off if you have never TIG welded before and you think you are going to start off in the deep end of the pool with success is INSANE!! There's people that can TIG steel very, very well that can't TIG Aluminum AT ALL !!! After many years of experience TIG welding... First off if the seller is telling you the equipment isn't capable of welding Aluminum why do you think that you can make it do the job when you have admitted you have no experience at all TIG welding? Again that's simply insane..

ABSTRACT Institutions of policecommunity dialogue in New York City assume that communities possess an intuitive and legally sound sense of order and disorder, on which the police can rely for information and support. However, staged dialogues between police and community groups can produce complicated situations of conflict and tension. While the police work to interpellate a friendly, coherent, and controlled community subject, city residents use the police's ideological language of order to offer a critique of the police themselves and of the sweeping neoliberal economic restructuring of the city around them.

The Family Support Program is designed to provide early intervention with the highest risk young children in Marion County communities; this program is working well in reducing juvenile crime while also helping families make positive changes in their lives.
Family Support Program, which we call FSP, serves children, ages, 9 to 13, who are already involved with the Department or at risk of becoming involved. FSP staff help the whole family in a community-based team approach in which they work together with parents, children, school staff, and others of importance in the child's life. Referrals come to us from school counselors and juvenile probation officers.
The FSP program focuses on building individual and family strengths, reducing risk factors, increasing protective factors, educational engagement/success, and achieving goals set by the family. Services are available for up to 9 months from the Family Support Specialists, Learning Specialists, and Youth & Family Counselors; they include such things as school advocacy and liaison, community resource connection, family meetings, educational testing and tutoring, individual and family counseling, skills training, and assistance with transportation.
Families referred to Family Support Program must meet specific medium to high risk criteria and be willing to participate in the program; parental participation is especially important because we work with the whole family and support parents in raising healthy families and having their children stay out of trouble. In an effort to better serve monolingual Spanish-speaking parents, we have one Family Support Specialist who is bi-lingual and bi-cultural.

Sherwood High School senior Megan McDonough wasn't going for anything spectacular in Saturday's Class 4A state championship game. When the first three batters in an inning get on base, she said, you have to do something to take advantage of the situation.
The Warriors four-year varsity first baseman did just that.
Batting in the cleanup position, McDonough's two-run triple capped a three-run first inning that set the tone for Sherwood's 5-0 victory against Anne Arundel County's Glen Burnie in the game held at the University of Maryland, College Park.
"When you get two on in the first you have to be ready to try and do as much as you can. You don't have to do anything spectacular, you just have to get that run in," McDonough said. "I like the inside pitch, it's an awesome pitch to drive. But any pitch in the strike zone, you just have to hit it."
The victory capped Sherwood's (21-0) second consecutive undefeated season and solidified the Warriors' place in history as the first Montgomery County team to win back-to-back state crowns.
Glen Burnie, which turned around a 2-5 start to finish 16-7, was making its first state final appearance since winning its third championship in 1998.
"It feels remarkable. I can't even believe we did it, two years in a row to go undefeated, you can't take this feeling away," McDonough said. "I think [since we had been here before] we felt more confident that we could do it again but also not cocky. We just had a confidence that we could come back and win."
Sherwood tallied nine hits Saturday and strung them together nicely. Warriors junior right-handed pitcher Meggie Dejter limited the Gophers to four hits and struck out 10.
McDonough went 2 for 3 with a double and a triple.
"[Dejter] is definitely a good pitcher, she mixes up her speeds in there and moves the ball around real well," Glen Burnie coach Doug Schreiber said. "It's hard to decide whether the five beat us or the zero."
Unlike last year's final, which came down to one sixth-inning run, Sherwood's first-inning lead helped erase any early-game nerves Saturday.
After Dejter turned away Glen Burnie's first three batters, Warriors senior leadoff Amelia Naik and sophomore Julie Swarr drew walks to start the bottom of the inning.
Speedy Naik scored on sophomore Nicole Stockinger's grounder into left field. Sherwood took a 3-0 lead when Swarr and Stockinger scored on McDonough's triple.
After three innings of scoreless ball Sherwood added a run in the bottom of the fifth when Stockinger, who hit a line drive up the third base line, scored on McDonough's double to the fence in right field.
Sherwood added its final run in the bottom of the sixth when junior Addie Armbruster reached first on an error and then scored on a bad throw to third meant to catch her off the bag.
Sherwood coach Pat Flanagan said she was glad to see McDonough end her tenure on a high note after struggling offensively late in the season. McDonough, a Rider University (N.J.) recruit, drove in three of Sherwood's five runs Saturday.
"It says a lot for Megan, she struggled the last part of the season. But she is the kind of kid who is so mentally tough, she is physically tough. She got in the batting cages, after practice she'll be like somebody do soft toss. She knew what she needed to change," Flanagan said. "I always told the girls, getting to the top is tough. But staying there is tougher. But these girls never got lackadaisical. The goal now is just to keep chipping away, keep winning."

Think about it: a rich, bittersweet shell of chocolate hides a wafer-thin shell of sugar. At the first bite, a rich "snap" rewards your efforts, which is soon followed by the warming flush of a small sip of liquor. The flavors mingle, interact, explode!
But wait... You just realized, you can't get your favorite flavor of alcohol in a candy, can you? Sure, if all you want is whiskey, rum or cognac. But we here on Instructables are connoisseurs of the exotic and unusual.
Where's the cobra whiskey candy? Can we put grapefruit liquor to work? What about skittles or bacon vodka?
"Oh," you may be saying to yourself, "if only we could make these candies at home, the happy drunken sky would be the limit!"
Well, I'm here to tell you that your heartbreaking search is at an end - you can make these confections yourself... and it's easier than you think.
Step 1: Sweet, Sweet Science
First, sugar and water are heated together to a set temperature in order to produce a near-saturated sugar solution. That means that the water has dissolved the maximum quantity of sugar possible - the addition of more sugar will cause the formation of crystals.
Second, warm liquor of the chef's choice is added to bring the solution slightly above the saturation point.
Third, the solution is gently transferred to pre-prepared cavities in a bed of pre-dried cornstarch. The starch provides seeding points for the now supersaturated sugar solution. If the concentration of sugar in the candies is right, a thin shell of sugar will grow around the liquid centers. When the interior solution has been sufficiently depleted of sugar, the growth of the shell will stop.
The candies can be consumed as they are, or dipped in chocolate to provide a nice finishing touch.
I recommend starting this procedure in the morning on a Saturday. This way, the starch can be dried in the morning, the sugar syrup can be prepared around lunchtime, and the candies will be ready to eat by Sunday morning.
How do you get around these abc laws with this? There's not a permit for it and if over more than .5% it's against the law. I'm trying to get permit to do similar thing before launching website and keep hitting block wall. Better yet how can I measure the content? I may not be over the .5%
Thank you!
Just thought I'd let you know I included you in my guide! I'm not sure if the pictures are showing up properly because my internet is a little weird, but hopefully I'll figure it out tomorrow :)
I make filled chocolates a bit, and normally make a chocolate cup, fill it with the filling then cover up the cup with chocolate, leaving time between each for stuff to set.
This is the first time I'm trying with alcohol - so yeah. Is it possible to put the alcohol syrup straight into chocolate cups?
Let me know if it works!
haha! great instructable! but i was wondering if the same can be done with chocolate molds and if its possible to completely omit the starch bit.... to make shells out of chocolate n then coat it with chocolate on the top after there is a thin sheet on crystallized sugar on top as u say!
and put any ingredient live vineger or corn syrup to have this result
yeah, i'll try with ice tea
trying to make another batch.
I'm not good with the 'difference of 3o' thing.
Could you use silicone molds instead of cornstarch?
I found two refinements that are working for me.
1) I'm using a tea infuser as a sifter. The type that scissors open like a clamshell? They don't work for tea, but the mesh is very fine and it sifts in a very localized manner, making it easy to sift within the lines.
2) I took your complaint to heart about forgetting to reserve some starch for the top. Let's just say I recognized myself in that paragraph. So before the starch goes in the oven, when my brain's fresh and I'm not worrying about errant crystalization, I set up the trays the way I want them and fill a ramekin with the topping starch as mis en place. Everything goes in the oven, and there's nothing to remember.
interesting though...
I know what you mean about the cornstarch. I'm also not a particularly tidy person, but a layer of fine powder all over the counter is enough to drive even me a little nuts.
The best way to slowly add the liquor is to pour it slowly down the sideof the container. It'll form a layer on the top of the sugar syrup.Then, to mix it, just place the spoon in the mixture and slowly stir thecontents. It might take a while to completely incorporate, but that'snot a bad thing.

Almost half of people who have
anorexia nervosa
will eventually develop symptoms
(binge-purge behaviors) of another eating disorder called
bulimia nervosa
Long-term or severe anorexia also can cause
serious medical complications, such as:
If left untreated, many of these conditions
can lead to death. Up to 8 out of 100 people who have anorexia will eventually die
from complications of malnutrition or from suicide.
But restoring healthy eating habits and good nutrition may reverse many of
the complications of anorexia.
