I'm currently building an envato app for windows 8 (metro). The basics are there and I'll be submitting it to the store mid next month.
Please if you have any feature requests wich you would like me to add let me know. Here are some screenshots:
Not logged in startpage with settings
Popular market items of last week
I don't like!....
congratz for programming but the interface looks a little old ( although the design is a trend of this year ) ..
The interface is kinda ugly, also does the app make use of the Charms Bar and/or the bottom bar? does it have any gestures?
I can't find any reason why I would use this app rather than the browser itself, where I can hit the purchase button directly for example.
I don't see any reason why I would use this over the browser itself. Oh, and one more thing, does it have Toast Notification on new sales/comments ? It seems like a good start, yet tons of features could be added, good luck with it!
You have good start there, but I would recommend getting inspiration from Windows Store regarding item purchase done via the app (if that's possible). Also, like others have pointed out, the UI doesn't look very attractive. Spacing, choice of colour and the overall design could be further improved.
Good luck with the project!
Alright thanks for the feedback, i'll be updating/improving the app
I have updated the app with some better layout and extra features.
Check screenshots : http://imgur.com/a/NVVYX
Feedback is welcome.
Wow ! 2 of my items have been the "popular items last week".. This app is still not out, but is already sooper useful !
I love the Metro style ! Brilliantly executed ! Can't wait for the release.
One thing though.. How about you align the leftmost of the profile boxes (like balance, view profile, etc.. So that they match with the thumbnail of the author ? And how about just going with the flat green colour with slight transparency ??
Cheers !
Looking forward !
Hi thanks for your feedback. Currently i'm still working hard on this app. As i see there are some stuff wrong with api calls (e.g. wrong free file of the month).
I've compiled the application and you can download it here:
Installation instructions
Unpack the zip file
Right click Add-AppDevPackage and choose run with powershell.
Give it some time and the app will be added to your startpage.
After opening fill in your settings and restart the app.
All feedback and bugs are welcome!
Currently the program is being validated by microsoft!
Alot of features have been added: Product detail pages, Caching and faster loading, Loader icons User detail page, Better layout

GSA Announces Debut of Native American Business Center
March 30, 2004
Contact: Cara Hoevet, (303) 236-7153 or
Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
ALBUQUERQUE — Attendees at the 2004 Native American Conference, which opened today, were among the first to hear about the U.S. General Services Administration's newly installed Native American Business Center. The Center is an extension of GSA's Office of Small Business Utilization based in Washington, D.C.
"We're creating this center to provide assistance in areas that we feel will be of particular benefit to Native American small business owners," said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry. "The Center's mission is to bridge the gap to the Native American community by supplying facilities and technology to support economic prosperity."
Recognizing the need to have a primary location where American Indian/Alaska Native-owned small businesses could gain access to business opportunities and projects with GSA and other government agencies, the Center will be overseen by GSA's Rocky Mountain Regional Office in Denver, Colo.
GSA's Native American Business Center will focus primarily on providing American Indian/Alaska Native small business owners with resources and information for meeting key contracting experts and learning how to tap into the government contracting market.
Also speaking at the conference were David W. Anderson, Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs, of the U.S. Department of the Interior, and Ronald N. Langston, National Director of the Minority Business Development Agency, U.S. Department of Commerce. GSA Associate Administrator Felipe Mendoza, Regional Administrator Scott Armey and Regional Administrator Larry Trujillo, representing GSA's Office of Small Business Utilization and Greater Southwest and Rocky Mountain Regions, respectively, were also present.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency with 11 regional offices, including one in Fort Worth that serves Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
Created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public, GSA acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. GSA, comprised of 13,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government -owned and leased buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

CALLS have been made for action against the "horrifying" behaviour of some people spilling out of the pubs and clubs.
The demands came as councillors backed extra powers for police to crack down on drinking in public at Ashley Cross.
Police want an order which would give them the authority to confiscate alcohol and arrest people who do not comply.
But Cllr Jo Clements told the Newtown and Parkstone area committee: "It seems to me that a lot of anti-social behaviour that occurs is not through people carrying drink on them, it's through people coming out of the establishments absolutely in a terrible state and behaving horribly.
"I've seen some horrible things happen down there. It seems to me that's something that needs to be addressed as well. I've seen people being sick in gardens and doing all sorts of lewd behaviour in the streets and it's just horrifying."
She added: "It's a really unique problem for Ashley Cross because it's in the middle of such a residential built-up area but there are so many of these establishments and they're packed to brimming.
"They queue outside and spill out on the streets."
Seaview Residents Association committee member Tony Bessant said the area had changed.
"How they got consent to have so many hostelries, drinking places, I just do not understand. I do not think it's a good balance," he said.
Dorset Police wants to make parts of Ashley Cross the subject of an Alcohol Consumption Designated Public Place Order (DPPO), giving extra powers to officers. Mr Bessant said proposals concentrated on one side of Ashley Cross and should be extended to cover the other side, including North Road, St Peter's Road and Springfield Road.
The committee agreed to support the order, subject to a review of the listed roads. The council's licensing committee will make the final decision.
Parkstone councillor Ann Stribley said: "I think the order's a great idea because it does mean you can have a drink in the street or the park but if there's a problem, the police can deal with it."
Council officer Frank Wenzel said the order would not affect responsible drinking, such as on picnics at Ashley Green. "This is a small step in the right direction but there are other issues that need to be addressed," he added.
What residents think
Ashley Cross resident Paul Reading said: "It's busy but I haven't noticed much trouble. I like having all the different kind of outlets for people to come to. I don't like any drunkenness or unpleasant behaviour but I like the atmosphere."
• Georgie McCourt, local resident, said: "I don't really think there is a problem at all. I might hear the odd person shouting on a night but other than that this is a great place to live. Ashley Cross is a really nice, safe place for a night out."
• Resident Chris Chaisty said: "I don't see a problem with the bars and pubs in the area at all and I live just around the corner.
I work in the local A&E and we do see a few busted heads from time to time, but nothing compared to Bournemouth."

Just wanted to relay my experiences with the new PXE boot - distributed john piece. The PXE piece seems to work fine, I can get several other boxes to network boot from the backtrack box. John and mpd on the other hand didn't work so well, I put together the following script to setup the backtrack pxe server so mpd would run correctly. It creates a link for python2.4, creates the mpd.conf file with user selected password, sets the correct permissions for that file and then starts mpd in daemon mode.
In order for the PXE booted workstations to connect properly to the mpd server I had to make a couple changes. These include setting the correct 192.168.1.x ip address in the /etc/hosts file, creating the /etc/mpd.conf file with the right MPD_SECRETWORD password and then starting mpd with mpd --daemon --ncpus=<number of cpus on the box> -h 192.168.1.1 -p 10000Code:#!/bin/bash if [ ! -e /usr/bin/python2.4 ]; then /bin/ln -s /usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/bin/python2.4 fi if [ ! -e /etc/mpd.conf ]; then echo -n "Enter a password for mpd and press [ENTER] : " read password /bin/touch /etc/mpd.conf echo MPD_SECRETWORD=$password > /etc/mpd.conf /bin/chmod 600 /etc/mpd.conf fi echo "Starting mpd in daemon mode....." mpd --daemon --listenport=10000
That gets the mpd piece working, however, i could not get john working with the currently installed john versions. It seemed that neither the pxe booted workstations or the pxe boot server had the right mpich patched version of john. Once I got the patched version from hxxp://bindshell.net/tools/johntheripper/john-1.7.2-bp17-mpi6.tar.gz and put it on each of the workstations that I wanted to be included in the cluster things started working. I just needed to make sure the hash that I wanted to crack was on each box and that the path to john was the same across the board.
Hope that helps anyone that has been struggling with this.

*** (three stars)
This gently sweeping documentary uses striking imagery to detail the human toll of overfishing, deforestation and industrialization in Cambodia. Director Kalyanee Mam follows the lives of peasants living on the rivers and in the hillsides, where the fish and rice crops are increasingly rare and the next generation is moving to the cities to work in factories. Mam's camera finds beauty in this environmental devastation, and in the resiliency of families struggling to survive.

For Immediate Release
September 12, 2005
Secwepemc Territory/Chase, B.C. - Because the Adams Lake Indian Band maintains a fully staffed Natural Resources Department, it's able to measure the impact of the Mountain Pine Beetle's presence in their territory by monitoring the Kamloops B.C. timber sales office and witnessing the startling jump in the region's annual allowable cut.
"By our estimate, the epidemic has already resulted in an uplift of some million plus cubic metres in the Kamloops timber supply area alone, which was 2.5 million," said Chief Ronnie Jules.
According to the Chief, the beetle epidemic can be compared to the burnt-wood situation in the region, where more wood fibre became available as a result of the 2003 forest fires. That situation resulted in a short-term deal for the Band, which owns a small community-based sawmill that allows them to process their own wood.
"For us, that short-term increase in wood led to more contracting companies forming with a larger inventory of equipment running, and an increased capacity to manage fibre. But our longer term goal is a tenure that sustains our community's on-going development, similar to what other communities in this area enjoy."
But immediately challenging the Band's economic goals is the knowledge of being left behind in the province's rush to allocate the 'bug-wood.'
"Of that recent million plus in uplift, it's already been awarded to the major licensees," said Chief Jules. "So for us, we're already being left behind. And while we've heard there's wood being set aside for First Nations, the question is will it be enough?"
On that issue, Band Councillor Nelson Leon explained the Band's position toward accessing wood. "We don't agree with the current Forest and Range Agreements program, so we'd look at direct awards or licenses under a regular program or some other measure similar to the burnt-wood situation – so long as it doesn't impede our Aboriginal rights and title."
Chief Jules said First Nations must seek longer term solutions in addition to short-term opportunities. For instance, he said First Nations could benefit from having export licenses to export raw logs and lumber.
Chief Jules is concerned about the cultural and ecological impacts of the epidemic. "We think unrestricted wood extraction near sensitive wildlife habitat will affect our ability to harvest game. We are also concerned that fish habitat will be impacted even if logging doesn't occur in riparian zones. Habitat for medicine plants and food gathering are also at risk. Our traditional way of life and diet is at risk because of this epidemic."
Because of the risk that wood harvesting imposes on First Nations, with or without a beetle epidemic driving it, Chief Jules wants First Nations involved in meaningful land-use planning and decisions.
He advised, "planning means many things to many people, so we need to be clear on what it is we want. Furthermore, it takes internal capacity to participate in planning. So that needs to be addressed, as well."
He is however concerned in regards to the lack of First Nations involvement in the initial planning process.
The Band will represented at the emergency forum in Prince George on September 19-20, where the immediate and long-term impacts of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic on B.C. First Nations will be addressed. The forum is being co-hosted by the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council and First Nations Leadership Council of BC, which is composed of the executives of the First Nations Summit, Union of BC Indian Chiefs, and the BC Assembly of First Nations.
Shawn Atleo, BC Regional Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said "the forum will result in a much needed action plan for First Nations as we move forward with the vision set out in the New Relationship document, especially on shared forestry and land use decisions."
"This coming together of our communities will enable us to address the challenges of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic from environmental, ecological, social, cultural and economic perspectives, as well as assist us to identify economic opportunities now and into the future," said Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs.
"The Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic creates a set of incredibly large and difficult challenges for all in the impacted areas. First Nations will need to work with the federal and provincial governments and coordinate their efforts with municipalities to meet these challenges head on," said Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit Task Group.

Dear Carolyn: I am a stay-at-home mother of four who has tried to raise my family under the same strong Christian values that I grew up with. Therefore I was shocked when my oldest daughter, "Emily," suddenly announced she had "given up believing in God" and decided to "come out" as an atheist. She said she was "happy" in her decision and that it just "felt right." She no longer wishes to attend church, speak to the pastor or even participate in family prayers.
I love my daughter dearly, but I am troubled by this turn of events.

This unique concentration prepares future high-tech marketers to succeed in a dynamic industry. In high-tech industries, rapid, discontinuous change is often more the norm than the exception. Marketers have to successfully manage whirlwind product introductions, often while simultaneously guiding the phase-out of other products within the same product line. The Marketer's greatest value is shaping the technological products produced by the firm into solutions that truly benefit potential customers while setting them apart from the ever-expanding competition. High-technology marketers engage in classic marketing activities like segmentation, targeting, positioning, and ongoing marketing support for the rest of the firm's products. In some industries high-technology marketing resembles consulting, and some companies may actually have internal consulting business units (3M, for example).

Over the past few years, septic tanks have been gaining more attention. There's an increasing awareness on the federal level of the need for increased regulation to govern permitting, maintaining, and operating onsite water disposal systems.
The onsite treatment industry is now facing a bevy of technical issues involving groundwater quality, such as discovering increased levels of pharmaceuticals and nitrates from poorly operated septic systems. Core to these discussions is the concern that septic systems must be durable and well-built.
While they may not get as much press as highways and bridges, septic tanks are an important market for the concrete production industry. According to the U.S. EPA, about ¼ of all homes use some sort of onsite treatment system. Most of these rely on traditional concrete units.
It's interesting how the onsite community has responded to this new attention. Hundreds of alternative systems have been introduced, most involving products other than concrete. There's an underlying message that concrete tank technology isn't the proper solution.
With a new team at EPA in Washington, D.C. now on board, our industry must be proactive in addressing these concerns. The real issue is, how should the onsite industry enact procedures that will upgrade the quality of onsite water treatment systems? Among the questions are how to prove septic tanks are durable, watertight, and strong.
In this tough economic environment, counties and municipalities are stretching to properly inspect new and existing septic systems. Their sanitarians are seeking new quality assurance programs that will ensure the safety of water resources.
The leadership at the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA) should be recognized for its foresight in promoting concrete septic tanks. In spring 2008, the NPCA board of directors introduced the On-site Wastewater Accreditation Program.
Producers who participate will allow an independent third-party engineering firm to inspect their production methods for manufacturing onsite wastewater tanks. Approved precast plants will receive accreditation from NPCA, allowing them to add a symbol to the tanks they cast.
NPCA plans to market the accreditation program to municipalities, specifiers, regulators, developers, and homeowners. "This means precasters who make wastewater treatment products will have a nationwide quality assurance program to ensure end-users that their tanks are manufactured under strict quality standards," said Ty Gable, NPCA president, in a note to his membership. The plastics and fiberglass industries do not have a comparable program, according to Gable.
NPCA's effort is a great, bold, and innovative move. Its effort should help position concrete as the preferred, sustainable material to ensure the quality of our nation's groundwater resources.
For more on NPCA's effort, visit its Web site at www.precast.org.

S-Class Sedan
The one car that every car looks up to.
Starting at: $96,600*MSRP
Elegant, in everything it does.
For generations, an S-Class Sedan has been instantly recognizable not just for its iconic design, but for predicting the future of the automobile. Strong, powerful and majestic, it's also sleek, lithe and decidedly athletic. It slips through the wind with quiet ease, yet stands out in any crowd. In fact, it stands above.
Enlightened, without a single lightbulb.
Intricate, intimate and impeccable, the S-Class cabin is a celebration of time-honored handcraftsmanship. Virtually every surface is richly upholstered, precisely tailored, and swathed in sweeping spans of fine wood. Along with an extensive palette of trim options, nearly 300 LEDs let you set the cabin aglow in any of seven variable hues.
Rejuvenating, in a most relaxing way.
Every element of S-Class comfort is designed to soothe and stimulate the senses. The cabin air can be double-filtered, ionized, and infused by an innovative aromatherapy system, all standard. The armrests can be heated. The seats can offer a "hot stone" massage. And with four available configurations, the rear cabin is even more inviting.
Responds in the moment, accelerates the future.
Two Direct Injection biturbo V8s. A plug-in hybrid teaming a biturbo V6 and torque-rich electric motor. A pair of superlative biturbo V12s. And a new 9-speed for many of them. From ultralow emissions to ultra-high power, the S-Class engines accelerate the pace of progress, they turn fuel and air into both motion and emotion.
Reads the road, bypasses the bumps.
No matter which S-Class you choose, its suspension offers a choice of modes, adaptive damping and automatic leveling. S550 models tame the road with lightweight, quick-thinking AIRMATIC®. And the available camera-assisted MAGIC BODY CONTROL® is an industry first. It can actually see bumps ahead, and act to quell them in real time.
Turns slip into grip, and grip into go.
The advanced all-wheel drive of the S550 4MATIC continually sends the engine's torque to the wheels that can use it best. Lightweight, nimble and efficient, 4MATIC® enhances handling and performance in any season. Standard AMG Performance 4MATIC gives the AMG S63 an edge in grip and acceleration, brilliantly putting power to pavement.
No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
Leads with power, follows through with grace.
The 577-hp AMG S63 and 621-hp AMG S65 lead their class in handcrafted V8 and V12 power, but it's in the driver's hands where their rewards are richest. Their astounding thrust is delivered with exceptional agility and exclusive luxury. In every detail, and in every move, the flagship AMG sedans show just how exuberant elegance can be.
Responds to danger, before you're in it.
For decades, the S-Class has predicted the safety standards of the future. Today's S-Class literally looks ahead, and 360 degrees around, to spot hazards in your path. A team of standard and optional systems can alert the driver, assist in braking, and even respond autonomously to help avoid collisions with other vehicles and pedestrians.
Responds to your touch, without lifting a finger.
Dual 12.3-inch high-resolution screens combine the clarity of analog-style instruments with lifelike animated displays of driving systems, vehicle settings, entertainment and navigation. A console-mounted touchpad makes the advanced COMAND® system intuitive to use, so even the most innovative features quickly feel like like second nature.
Music from anywhere, surrounds you from everywhere.
With nationwide SiriusXM Radio and global Internet radio, plus multiple ways to bring your own soundtrack, the S-Class offers nearly limitless listening. Two sound systems by Burmester®, Germany's revered name in high-end home audio, offer a choice of lush surround sound or a High-End 3D system that sets a standard in audiophile quality.
The purchase of a new, satellite radio-enabled vehicle includes a 6-month introductory subscription to the Sirius All Access package. SiriusXM Satellite Radio, SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Weather subscriptions are sold separately or as a package after trial period. If you decide to continue your subscription after your trial, the plan you choose will automatically renew and you will be charged according to your chosen payment method at then-current rates.

I'm writing to announce of the release of My Brother Will, my new Shakespearean novel for adults, this time (I mainly write for young people) and which has just been published by British e-publisher AchukaBooks, as a Kindle-only edition (other formats may come later) and is now available for sale on amazon.com for US and Australian readers:
and Amazon.co.uk for British readers.
(British readers can also buy it at amazon.com)
It's the story of a pivotal year in the life of the Shakespeare family in Stratford, when Will was sixteen, and told in the voice of his younger brother Gilbert. Informed by the theory that the Shakespeare family were crypto-Catholics, it is a rich evocation of daily life in sixteenth-century Stratford and the surrounding countryside, centred around four festivals. It is a most unusual book which is written in a style pungently reminiscent of the period, yet without quaintness, and rests on a good deal of research on all kinds of aspects of Shakespeare's background.

|[men]Our Intern Malcolm told me about a pair of jeans he has that are $25! They are from 20Jeans - he says they are great quality for only costing $25! Their philosophy is "we don't like to pay a lot of money for stuff". Which is also my philosophy. There are various washes and at other prices as well. 20Jeans also sells tees, shirts, and outerwear at low prices.
|[fun]Yesterday we got a fun shipment from Krazy Straws! We each got a straw shaped in the letters of our name! These are great for parties because they can be personalized for a theme or for each guests name. I love the straws that look like mustaches. The phrase straws are cool too - they are super long and can say things like "Happy Birthday". Maybe I wouldn't get so drunk on my birthday if I had to drink out of a really long straw!

HSBC head up a list of banking offenders hiding behind ludicrously long-winded terms and conditions.
The list, compiled as part of research by consumer group Fairer Finance, also embarrasses Norwich & Peterborough Building Society, Metro Bank, Natwest and Halifax, who all carry terms and conditions that somehow manage to run on incomprehensibly for over 25,000 words. HSBC's terms and conditions, clocking in at a grim 34,162 words, are 5000 words longer than George Orwell's Animal Farm.
Stop this EU nonsense now!

The EU is moving further and further away from Plain English, according to European Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly.
Her survey scathingly concludes that, not only is English misused and abused in the 'Brussels Bubble', it's been mangled and re-appropriated to the extent that it's now akin to a unique 'sub dialect'.
O'Reilly, appointed by Parliament to oversee exactly how The European Union goes about its day-to-day business, is highly critical of the implications of what's happening to English in the "bubble" in question. Mainly, that it's at a far remove from largely proper use or corrective influence, and prone to the same kind of abuse and misuse that has meant that most types of business English, for example, are often nonsensical.

Rebekah Mumm Joins BC Women's Soccer StaffJune 15, 2008
Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College athletics department in corporation with head women's soccer coach Liz Stojetz are pleased to announce Rebekah Mumm as the new graduate assistant coach for the Brevard College women's soccer program.
Mumm, a four-year player for the Lady Catamounts of Western Carolina, will join the BC staff as a graduate assistant and will help Coach Stojetz with day-to-day operations, practices, recruiting and workouts.
"I am excited to have Bekah on board this season," stated Stojetz. "She has the playing experience, coaching experience and determination to help our program improve on a regular basis as we complete the transition to NCAA Division II."
While a member of the Lady Catamounts soccer team from 2004-2008, she was a member of the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll as well as the TIAA-CREF All-Academic Team.
Mumm graduated in 2008 with a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Business Law and had a minor in Marketing.
Mumm has experience in both coaching and conditioning, as she has served as an assistant soccer coach at Ralph Lundy Soccer Academy as well as a skill development trainer at the Smoky Mountain Soccer Club.
Brevard College was 4-15-1 last season, as the Tornados competed as provisional members of both the NCAA Division II level and the South Atlantic Conference.

Hilton Head, S.C. – The Brevard College men's tennis team kicked off their spring break trip in style, routing Wheaton College, 7-2, Sunday afternoon.
In doubles play, Brevard (5-2, 0-2 South Atlantic Conference) won all three points. Konstantin Savelyev and Cole Altizer beat Gregory Poulin and Cullen Garrity, 8-2, in the top flight. The 2nd point belonged to Heikki Riikonen and Jarred Fisher, 8-3 over James Little and Neall Oliver, and the third flight was the domain of Andrew Thompson and Nate Lyles, 8-3 over Kyle Hudgins and Brian Krantz.
Wheaton (0-2) took the first two singles points, and Oliver beat Savelyev, 6-4, 2-6, 10-3 and Little got past Thompson, 6-4, 2-6, 10-5.
But the Tornados rallied to win the final four points in dominating fashion. Riikonen clinched the match with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Poulin in the third spot, and Altizer beat Hudgins after the Wheaton player retired at 6-0, 2-0. In the No. 5 match, Fisher drilled Harry Altman, 6-0, 6-1, and at No. 6, Shane Apps beat Nii Manfoi Davies, 6-2, 6-0.
The Tornados continue their Hilton Head tour tomorrow against St. John Fisher at 8 a.m.

BRIAN IN THE KITCHEN brought to you by Stittsworth Meats
July 22 2009
: Use of undefined constant content - assumed 'content' in
on line

Combine the Piri Piri with the cilantro and kosher salt in a bowl, and marinate the meat in this mixture for 3 or 4 hours in your refrigerator.
About an hour before removing the marinade from the refrigerator, prepare the Cilantro Potato Salad, cover, and refrigerate.
Preheat the broiler and set the broiler rack 3 inches from the flame.
Thread the meat on the skewers, using 5 cubes of meat per skewer. Rest the skewers across a rack set in a pan and baste the meat with the Piri Piri marinade. Broil for 8 minutes, turn the skewers of meat over, baste, and broil for 5 minutes.
To serve, push the meat from the skewers onto the bread and eat sandwich-style with a generous cup of the Cilantro Potato Salad.

1 1/2 cups olive oil
4 fresh jalapeńo peppers, coarsely chopped, stems, seeds
2 fresh poblano peppers, coarsely chopped, stems, seeds
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
8 turns freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Combine all of the ingredients except the garlic in a saucepan over high hear. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, remove from the heat, and allow to cool to room temperature.
When the mixture is cool, pour it into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 16 times. Pour the sauce through a funnel into a clean wine or other bottle and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Allow to sit for 7 days before using. Keeps up to 2 months at room temperature.
Yield: about 5 cups
1 large egg

What is a good size for Page Width so your website is usable by a large audience?
And why do you say so?
That's a topic of great debate, the best answer is that should not DEPEND on fix width. OK, That's my disclaimer, now here is my convoluted preferred practice.
1) I like to make the USABLE ( anything inside the body tag) width to be a multiple of 160px... this only because it makes it easier to convert the styles or even plan them to degrade functionally for mobile devices such as iPhones.
2) I chose 960px because it complies with the rule above. Although the average monitor has gotten so that it can support MUCH bigger sizes, you will find that ( on average, remember the user can change any setting), really wide blocks of text are difficult to read.
The complicated stuff:
Considering the above, you could make your site wider, and still maintain comfortably narrow text blocks... by having more "columns".. of course that means more possibility for vertical scrolling.
You could also set a BIGGER text/head line size ratio.
A good width is the one that fits the devices that your audience is viewing with.:) If you are targeting mobile devices than a 1024px width is no good (or vice versa).
The easiest solution is to have a fluid width that adapts to all and then adjust for more capable devices.
Read the following link and although it applies its primarily concerned with mobile devices the logic can be applied to all.
For capable sites I prefer an elastic site (one that has a min and max-width) which defaults to fluid for less capable browsers or mobile devices.
There is no one answer these days as the iphone, ipad and 27" monitors are all common place and it depends on who you need to support
Small business sites seem to be mainly fixed with still and I rarely get asked to produce a fluid site for a small business.
1.) I am planning on using your world-famous 3-column, fixed-width layout where the left and right margin adjust to fill in the difference between the fixed-width part and your monitor size.
2.) My target audience is PC users.
3.) I thought I had saw someone on here throwing out a number like 800 pixels? :-/
If you are aiming at mainly pc users then I would go with elastic and stretch from about 700px - 1200px approx.
More info here:http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/seo-blog/best-screen-size/
The width of my browser window. And I'm not telling you what it is. In fact, it varies, depending on which computer I'm at and what I'm doing.
Ideally, your site should be flexible enough to fit to whatever size my browser window is, although you would probably want to set a max-width to avoid it getting too big. People use a range of computers and other devices with a range of screen sizes, from mobile phones through netbooks/old PCs to high end widescreen monitors. Within that range, people will have their resolution set to varying values, and some people will maximise their browser window while others won't, and some will have sidebars open. (eg, on my home PC, which is 1280×1024, I don't have my browser tabs maximised, because it makes them too big, and lines get too long to comfortably read on textual sites - viewport width is about 960px. On my laptop and work PC, which are both 1024×768, I do have my browser maximised. On my mobile phone, for graphical layouts it assumes a width of about 840px)
But if making a flexible width is too difficult bearing in mind other design constraints and goals, it's better to make it smaller than larger - if possible, go for 768px so that it fits comfortably on an 800px screen. Anything larger than that and you will introduce horizontal scrolling for a significant minority of people ... and horizontal scrolling is BAD. Most people are not going to worry if the website is narrower than the available space, but plenty will complain or miss out on things if it's wider.
Ha ha!
Ideally, your site should be flexible enough to fit to whatever size my browser window is
Well, that is why I was thinking of using something like this from Paul O. (Honestly, he has so many examples, that I forget the exact name of the one I wanted to use, which was a few months ago. I just remember the name had "3-column" and "fixed width" and "sticky footer" and used margin: 0 auto; so that it adjusted reasonably to different width monitors. I think the link above is what I decided on?!)
if possible, go for 768px so that it fits comfortably on an 800px screen.
You lost me?!
What is the significance of 768px (wide??).
And how does 768px become 800px??
I was going to a design like KLPX-FM which I believe is similar to Paul O's (although not a sophisticated).
to answer at least one of your Qs. it (768px) doesn't "become" 800px.. but you have to consider that the browser it self takes up some screen real estate. So, if your target audience happens to use a resolution of 800px wide. and you made your site 800px, you'll get a scroll bar(at least most times) .. because the vertical scroll bar from the browser will take up 25-40px (or so) and there might be left-edge.. to the browser window of 5px. Also the user may not have his the window maximized to the size of his screen ( it's nice to be able to click onto the desktop w/o having to minimize or close he browser window all together and leave your site, would you?)
So the "significance" is 800px - (estimated vertical scroller+ possible right border + few pixels to be able to see the desktop)= 768px.
Oh, okay, that makes sense!
So, do you agree that I should shoot for a website that is 768px wide? (Kinda "skinny" isn't it?!) :eek:
If you are going for a fixed width then 748 pixels is the figure that makes the most sense because then you don't need a separate page design for printing as 748 pixels is the screen equivalent to what is almost certain to fit across the page when printed.
If you go any wider than that with a fixed width then you need a second version of the stylesheet to reduce the width for printing.
So you wouldn't go any bigger than that?
I had a really nice 3-column layout from Paul O but it is different than his one here.
I am torn which one I should use? In the version I have, it is a 3-column fixed-width with 100% high columns and a sticky footer. (Not sure if you know which one I mean?!)
I actually picked it on from another thread on here last Fall.
Is the "max-min" feature really worth redoing everything and adding more complexity to my home page?
WHICH you'll notice so far the 'names' on the site that have answered you said don't fix the width -- there's a reason fixed width is a miserable /FAIL/ at web design, and don't let the PSD jockey who call their goof assed non-viable artsy drawings tell you anything different, unless you want to piss all over accessibility.
I don't even like 768 anymore, even though it was the accepted norm. Browser chrome seems to be a bit bigger these days, so usually I'm setting my min-width to 752 and max-width to either 1104 or 1238 depending on the page and it's content.
Min-width and max-width are easy so long as you don't get your hopes set on bandwidth chewing wasteful images that just get in the way of your site's content... a typically decent declaration for an outermost wrapper being:
body {
text-align:center; /* center #pageWrapper IE 5.x */
font:normal 85%/140% arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
#pageWrapper {
margin:0 auto;
text-align:left; /* return to normal behavior after IE 5.x fix, see BODY */
* html #pageWrapper { /* IE6- support */
/* first set narrowest fixed width for when scripting is disabled */
/* then implement fluid width using IE expressions */
(document.body.clientWidth>1152) ? "1104px"
: ((document.body.clientWidth>800) ? "auto" : "752px")
That's lifted right out of the baseline screen.css I build most sites around. Said sites typically being a fraction the size of the bloated train wrecks people vomit up today, while working on everything from IE 5.5 to the latest flavor of the week browsers.
With the wide range of possible screen sizes, resolutions, ratio of resolution to size (aka dot pitch) it's idiotic and lazy to design to a fixed width -- in many ways I find fluid easier to deal with code-wise as you DON'T have to calculate perfect widths on everything.
As I like to say, let padding and margin do their jobs so you don't have to declare ANY widths on your content column elements. Just as not every element needs a class or ID on it (much like George Carlin's joke about "not every ejaculation deserves a name) people go just as crazy setting widths on things that typically don't need that declaration either. Three column layout you declare more than three widths, you're probably screwing up. (outer container and two fixed columns).
But again, layouts are only as complex as you make them -- and JHVH people like to take simple layouts and make them needlessly complex. Even MORE pathetic when it's made more complex in the name of making it "simpler"... Which seems to be the current trend in web development -- selling needlessly complex, convoluted and bloated code as if it somehow makes things better, easier or simpler.
Sorry, I'll get off the soapbox and stop ranting before I start pissing on the idiocy of CSS frameworks, Javascript libraries and the train wreck known as HTML 5.
Bzzzt! 748px is too wide for A4 paper with 1cm margins left and right (on my setup anyway).
It's good practice to make a separate print stylesheet anyway, because there will usually be quite a number of things you will want to change to optimise it for printing in order to make best use of whatever size paper the user has.
Stevie kind-of said my immediate reaction to your post -- My version of it was more along the lines of "What the devil are you sending PX in your print stylesheet for?!?" (Ok, it actually had profanity in my initial reaction)
There's a reason we have the MEDIA attribute. Of course I'd LOVE if they actually treated PX as PX for print instead of arbitrarily scaling it up a factor of 30 to 100 -- most people's pages rendering 2.6" to 3" wide at 300dpi... much less the micro-dot effect on a 1200dpi printer.
Bottom line anything in my SCREEN.CSS which I send with media="screen, projection, tv" I do NOT want being printed.

The ten day trip provided students with behind-the-scenes views of everything from a livestock improvement corporation to an outdoor gear distributor. Along the way, students gained a deeper understanding of how international business is conducted and developed important networking contacts."Students were truly blessed and overwhelmed by our trip to New Zealand," said Dr. Mellani Day, dean of the Business and Technology Division for the College of Adult and Graduate Studies, and a leader on the trip. "We believe someone with an MBA from CCU should be able to theoretically lead any organization in the world, and this trip is a part of that mission."The trip participants included students from the class Leading in Intercultural Business Environments, along with a few visitors. The group of 15 enjoyed New Zealand hospitality, including unparalleled access to CEOs and the drivers of business. "Everyone rolled out the red carpet for us, so to speak," said Day. "The CEO of New Zealand's only oil refinery gave us a tour of the entire plant and hosted a lunch for us. Everywhere, people were gracious and attentive."The trip coincided with Global Entrepreneurship Week, and, due to the location of New Zealand in relation to the International Date Line, the week quite literally began in New Zealand with a celebration in which the CCU team participated. "Going on this trip gave me an appreciation for global enterprise," commented Tim McTavish, one of the MBA students. "We were able to meet businesses that rely heavily upon strong international partnerships and sell to multiple international markets. It shows even relatively small businesses can have a global impact."Perhaps the most familiar impact from New Zealand came when the team met with Zeta Carr of the New Zealand Film Commission. She spoke of the release of The Hobbit, which follows on the success of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the branding efforts to market New Zealand as "Middle-Earth." Part of the push includes releasing stamps and an upcoming minted coin. New Zealand Air's security video even features characters from The Hobbit.The group also connected with local missionaries after visiting a church. Weymond and Gill Fong are working to import handcrafted jewelry, made by women in the Philippines, to New Zealand. Their efforts will empower Filipino women and offer them economic freedom. The Fongs spoke with students about business channels and marketing strategies. "Some students developed ongoing relationships with Weymond and Gill," recounted Dr. Day. "It demonstrated that there is no corner of life exempt from these business applications. Clearly, even missionaries are reliant on leading a business and understanding business concepts."Students were exposed to a robust variety of business models: agriculture, tourism, government, retail, education, media, and legal institutions all offered unique lessons and perspectives on how business works. Students even saw the workings of a commuter ferry that ran between New Zealand's North and South Islands -- and enjoyed their closing night dinner on the ferry."About half of the students had never traveled internationally before this trip," remarked Day. "Students left with a broader worldview and a better understanding of how countries impact one another. Now, students understand new markets for products or sources for parts -- and have a framework for how to do business in a foreign country."

"God Loves Uganda"
U.S. Documentary
***1/2 (three-and-a-half stars)
Are American evangelicals saving souls in Uganda, or engaged in a "new colonialism" and threatening the lives of gays and lesbians in the African nation? That's the question director Roger Ross Williams poses in this moving, on-the-ground documentary. He takes us inside the missionary training at Kansas City's International House of Prayer, and to Kampala, Uganda, where those Christians proselytize and bankroll local pastors to set up megachurches and lavish personal lifestyles, while lobbying the Ugandan Parliament for a bill that would make homosexuality a crime punishable by death for repeat offenders. Williams also interviews Ugandan clergy who stand against this U.S.-backed campaign and for human rights. The film gives both sides their chance to be heard, while making it quite clear the deadly stakes of the fight.

No more screenings are scheduled for "God Loves Uganda."

GOLD BAR — A hiker suffered minor injuries Friday after falling over the lower falls at Wallace Falls State Park near Gold Bar.
The hiker, 23, of Monroe, fell about 50 feet, Gold Bar Fire Chief Eric Andrews said.
Emergency crews were summoned about 1:30 p.m.
About three hours later, they were able to hook the hiker into a rescue harness. The harness was connected to the Snohomish County sheriff's rescue helicopter.
The helicopter team towed the man to nearby Fire Station 54.
The man was assessed by aid crews there. He was expected to be taken to a local hospital for a medical evaluation, Andrews said.
Emergency responders also assisted from Monroe and Clearview.

BC Cycling Competes at ClemsonOctober 2, 2013
CLEMSON, N.C.-The Brevard College cycling team competed over the weekend in a Southeastern Conference racing event hosted by Clemson Univeristy.
The weekend began with the downhill races on Saturday with the Clemson downhill track emphasizing quick and tight corners with several large obstacles.
Dan Ennis and Sarah Hill blasted their way to hard-fought victories in both of the 'A' category races for Brevard. Also placing in the 'A' top-10 were Mac Banner for the men, and Erica Zaveta and Nicole Miranda on the women's side.
In the men's 'B', Kody Hughes claimed another top-10 for BC with an 8th place finish. Rounding out a great downhill showing for the team was Cooper Pursley with a 6th place in the men's 'C'.
The short track races followed, where Cypress Gorry battled from far outside the top-10 on the first lap of the men's 'A' to finish in a close 2nd place, followed by teammate Lewis Gaffney in 3rd. The BC women stepped up in the 'A' competition as Zaveta took the win and Hill placed second.
Dillon Brown took home a 6th place in the men's 'B', followed by a 2nd place by Liza Fortenberry in the women's 'B'.
Capping a great showing for BC in the short track was Colby McAlister, who took home another win in the Men's 'C'. Despite a crash early in the race, Regis Bryer joined McAlister in the top-10 with a 6th place finish.
Saturday's final event was the dual slalom competition, which was held on a professionally-built, large-scale slalom course. The quality of the course offered great preparation for the national championships at the end of October.
After many hard runs in the men's 'A' single elimination races, the Tornados placed three in the top-10. Ennis placed 4th despite a mechanical malfunction in the final, followed by Asher Blackmore in 6th and Blake Stephenson in 9th.
Zaveta grabbed 2nd place in the women's 'A' along with three of her Brevard teammates in the top-10. Hill took 5th despite a bad crash,w hile Courtney Carter took 6th and Miranda placed 8th.
Hughes scored his second top-10 of the weekend with a 7th in the men's 'B' before Pursley put together his best race of the season with a 2nd in the men's 'C'.
Over the 30 miles of Sunday's cross country men's 'A' race, BC was able to work together to bring home a victory. Gaffney got the win, with teammates Dylan Johnson in 3rd, Zach Valdez in 7th, and Keith Marek in 12th.
Following the race, Lewis was quick to praise his teammates; "The cross country race at Clemson was an awesome show of teamwork. When all three of us made the lead group we were able to work together extremely well. When I got a gap the other two sat in and I knew if I was brought back they would be able to take advantage of it. When the gap grew, it was just a hard effort from there. It was such an awesome race and so cool to be able to finish up an amazing team effort."
The day ended with Brown scoring his second top-10 of the weekend in the 'B' cross country. The men's 'C' race followed and saw McAlister claim his second win of the weekend, joined by Regis Bryer in 7th.
The Tornados continue the mountain bike season with an upcoming race at Mars Hill this weekend. BC cycling will then host the Southeastern Conference Championships on the 19th and 20th of October.
The National Championships will be held in Beech Mountain, North Carolina on the weekend of October 25-27.

I think you'll see in a moment why I didn't just post this on the Lunch! topic. It was exceptional. An epic and it has been an epic sorting through the 634 photographs I took in about three hours. If I counted correctly, there are only 111 here.
Like so many things, it came out of the blue. I was kind of aware that there was a Chinese holiday this week, but being self-semi-employed I am often a man of leisure and the holidays make little impact on my life. This one is in celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节 duān wǔ jié) and although it features nothing boat-like, it was festive and there is a dragon link.
It started with this invitation which appeared on my WeChat (Chinese social media) account.
Longtan (龙潭 lóng tán) means Dragon's Pool and is more of a hamlet. It is about an hour's drive north of Liuzhou city. I'd never heard of it and certainly never been there, but a friend of a friend had decided that a "foreign friend" would add just the right note to the planned event. I've seen many pictures of such "Long Table" lunches and even attended one before – but this one was different and I was delighted to be invited.
So, I was picked up outside my city centre home at 9 am and the adventure began. We arrived at the village at 9:45 to be met by the friend in question. He led me to what appeared to be the head man's home, outside which was a large courtyard with a few men sitting at a trestle table seemingly finishing a breakfast of hot, meaty rice porridge washed down with beer or rice wine. I was offered a bowl of the porridge, but declined the beer or rice wine in favour of a cup of tea. After downing that and making introductions etc, I was left to wander around on my own watching all the activity.
Rice Porridge
Here goes. I'm posting these mostly in the order they were taken, in order to give some sense of how the event progressed.
These two men were the undisputed kings of this venture, organising everyone, checking every detail, instructing less experienced volunteers etc. It was obvious these men had been working since the early hours. and their breakfast was a break in their toil. There were piles of still steaming cooked pork belly in containers all over the courtyard.
Some of this had been the meat in the rice porridge, I learned.
This young lad had been set to chopping chicken. Not one chicken! Dozens.
Entrails, insides and fat were all carefully preserved.
In the meantime, the two masters continued boiling their lumps of pork belly. This they refer to as 五花肉 - literally "five flower" pork", the five flowers being layers of skin, fat and meat.
Another man was dealing with fish. Carp from the village pond. He scaled and cleaned them with his cleaver. Dozens of them.
And all around, various preparations are being prepared.
Peeling Garlic
Gizzards and intestines.
More Pork . You can see the five layers here.

The best Chinese food restaurant I have ever been to is a place called the Imperial Buffet in Aberdeen SD. Their General Tso's is unlike the Tso's anywhere else. The closes comparison I could make is the Orange Chicken at the Panda Garden only 3x better. Their Lo-Mein Noodles are done with the skill of a master Italian pasta chef & perfectly seasoned. They also used to do a mean fried squid. I say used to because they had it when I lived in Aberdeen from 02-04 but didn't when I visited in 15'. One of their other discontinued specialties was a dish advertised as 'Golden Fried Cauliflower'. Note, this was NOT a breaded product. The cauliflower was cooked as though it had been boiled perfectly. It was not greasy as I recall but was a golden orange color as was the sauce it was evidently cooked in. I never could identify the flavors in that sauce. I wish I could describe it better but it has been well over a decade since I had it. Is anyone familiar with it or something similar? I can't seem to find anything like it online & all my searches just bring up links to breaded deep-fried crap.

An old friend from England contacted me yesterday via Facebook with a couple of questions about Five Spice Powder.
Thought there me be some interest here, too.
Is there anything more typically Chinese than five spice powder (五香粉 - wǔ xiāng fěn)?
Well, yes. A lot.
Many years ago, I worked in an office overlooking London's China town. By around 11 am, the restaurants started getting lunch ready and the smell of FSP blanketed the area for the rest of the day. When I moved to China, I didn't smell that. Only when I first visited Hong Kong, did I find that smell again.
In fact, FSP is relatively uncommon in most of Chinese cuisine. And if I ever see another internet recipe called "Chinese" whatever, which is actually any random food, but the genius behind it has added FSP, supposedly rendering it Chinese, I'll scream.
I get all sorts of smells wafting through the neighbourhood. Some mouth-watering; some horrifying. But I don't recall ever that they were FSP.
But what is it anyway? Which five spices?
Today, I bought four samples in four local supermarkets. I would have would have preferred five, but couldn't find any more. It's not that popular.
First thing to say: none of them had five spices. All had more. That is normal. Numbers in Chinese can often be vague. Every time you hear a number, silently added the word 'about' or 'approximately'. 100 km means "far", 10,000 means "many".
Second, while there are some common factors, ingredients can vary quite a bit. Here are my four.
Ingredients – 7
Star Anise, Fennel Seed, Orange Peel, Cassia Bark, Sand Ginger, Dried Ginger, Sichuan Peppercorns.
Ingredients – 6
Cassia Bark, Star Anise, Fennel Seed, Coriander, Sichuan Peppercorn, Licorice Root.
Ingredients – 15
Fennel Seeds, Sichuan Peppercorns, Coriander, Tangerine Peel, Star Anise, Chinese Haw, Cassia Bark, Lesser Galangal, Dahurian Angelica, Nutmeg, Dried Ginger, Black Pepper, Amomum Villosum, Cumin Seeds, Cloves.
Ingredients – 6
Pepper (unspecified – probably black pepper), Sichuan Peppercorns, Star Anise, Fennel Seeds, Nutmeg, Cassia.
So, take your pick. They all taste and smell almost overwhelmingly of the star anise and cassia, although there are subtle differences in taste in the various mixes.
But I don't expect to find it in many dishes in local restaurants or homes. A quick, unscientific poll of about ten friends today revealed that not one has any at home, nor have they ever used the stuff!
I'm not suggesting that FSP shouldn't be used outside of Chinese food. Please just don't call the results Chinese when you sprinkle it on your fish and chips or whatever. They haven't miraculously become Chinese!
Like my neighbours and friends, I very rarely use it at all.
In fact, I'd be delighted to hear how it is used in other cultures / cuisines.

For the last several years Cindy's* job has been to look after me. She takes care of my residence papers, my health insurance, my travel, my housing and associated repairs. She makes sure that I am supplied with sufficient cold beer at official banquets. And she does it all with terrific efficiency and great humour.
This weekend she held her wedding banquet.
Unlike in the west, this isn't held immediately after the marriage is formalised. In fact, she was legally married months ago. But the banquet is the symbolic, public declaration and not the soul-less civil servant stamping of papers that the legal part entails.
So tonight, along with a few hundred other people, I rolled up to a local hotel at the appointed time. In my pocket was my 'hong bao' or red envelope in which I had deposited a suitable cash gift. That is the Chinese wedding gift protocol. You don't get 12 pop-up toasters here.
I handed it over, then settled down, at a table with colleagues, to a 17 or 18 course dinner.
Before we started, I spotted this red bedecked jar. Shaking, poking and sniffing revealed nothing.
A few minutes later, a waitress turned up and opened and emptied the jar into a serving dish. Spicy pickled vegetables. Very vinegary, very hot, and very addictive. Allegedly pickled on the premises, this was just to amuse us as we waited for the real stuff to arrive.
Then the serious stuff arrived. When I said 17 courses, I really meant 17 dishes. Chinese cuisine doesn't really do courses. Every thing is served at roughly the same time. But we had:
Quail soup which I neglected to photograph.
Roast duck
Braised turtle
Sticky rice with beef (the beef is lurking underneath)
Steamed chicken
Spicy, crispy shell-on prawns.
Steamed pork belly slices with sliced taro
Spicy squid
Chinese Charcuterie (including ducks jaws (left) and duck hearts (right))
Mixed vegetables
Fertility soup! This allegedly increases your fertility and ensures the first born (in China, only born) is a son. Why they are serving to me is anyone's guess. It would make more sense for the happy couple to drink the lot.
There was a final serving of quartered oranges, but I guess you have seen pictures of oranges before.
The happy couple. I wish them well.
*Cindy is the English name she has adopted. Her Chinese name is more than usually difficult to pronounce. Many Chinese friends consider it a real tongue-twister.

A few days ago, I was given a lovely gift. A big jar of preserved lemons.
I know Moroccan preserved lemons, but had never met Chinese ones. In fact, apart from in the south, in many parts of China it isn't that easy to find lemons, at all.
These are apparently a speciality of the southern Zhuang minority of Wuming County near Nanning. The Zhuang people are the largest ethnic minority in China and most live in Guangxi. These preserved lemons feature in their diet and are usually eaten with congee (rice porridge). Lemon Duck is a local speciality and they are also served with fish. They can be served as a relish, too. They are related to the Vietnamese Chanh muối.
I'm told that these particular lemons have been soaking in salt and lemon juice for eleven years!
So, of course, you want to know what they taste like. Incredibly lemony. Concentrated lemonness. Sour, but not unpleasantly so. Also a sort of smoky flavour.
The following was provided by my dear friend 马芬洲 (Ma Fen Zhou) who is herself Zhuang. It is posted with her permission.
How to Make Zhuang Preserved Lemons
By 马芬洲
Zhuang preserved lemons is a kind of common food for the southern Zhuang ethnic minority who live around Nanning Prefecture of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China. The Zhuang people like to make it as a relish for eating with congee or congee with corn powder. This relish is a mixture of chopped preserved lemons, red chilli and garlic or ginger slice in soy sauce and peanut oil or sesame oil.
Sometimes the Zhuang people use preserved lemons as an ingredient in cooking. The most famous Zhuang food in Guangxi is Lemon Duck, which is a common home cooked dish in Wuming County, which belongs to Nanning Prefecture.
The following steps show you how to make Zhuang preserved lemons.
Step 1 Shopping
Buy some green lemons.
Step 2 Cleaning
Wash green lemons.
Step 3 Sunning
Leave green lemons under the sunshine till it gets dry.
Step 4 Salting
If you salt 5kg green lemons, mix 0.25kg salt with green lemons. Keep the salted green lemons in a transparent jar. The jar must be well sealed. Leave the jar under the sunshine till the salted green lemons turn yellow. For example, leave it on the balcony. Maybe it will take months to wait for those salted green lemons to turn yellow. Later, get the jar of salted yellow lemons back. Unseal the jar. Then cover 1kg salt over the salted yellow lemons. Seal well the jar again.
Step 5 Preserving
Keep the sealed jar of salted yellow lemons at least 3 years. And the colour of salted yellow lemons will turn brown day by day. It can be dark brown later. The longer you keep preserved lemons, the better taste it is. If you eat it earlier than 2 years, it will taste bitter. After 3 years, it can be unsealed. Please use clean chopsticks to pick it. Don't use oily chopsticks, or the oil will make preserved lemons go bad. Remember to seal the jar well after picking preserved lemons every time.
