10 Prehistoric Creatures We'd Love to Have in a Zoo
So what if it actually happens? would we risk it or not i don't know so avoiding that dispute and taking you to those ten esteemed dinosaurs out of way so many that people fancy and would like to have in that kind of park.
Miocene Epoch
The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about 23.03 to 5.333 million years ago(Ma).
Neogene Period
The Neogene is a geologic period and system that spans 20.45 million years from the end of the Paleogene Period 23.03 million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the present Quaternary Period 2.58 Mya.
The Pliocene Epoch (5.3-2.6 Million Years Ago)
During the Pliocene, prehistoric life around the globe continued to adapt to the prevailing climatic cooling trend, with some notable local extinctions and disappearances.
The Oligocene Epoch (34-23 Million Years ago)
The Oligocene epoch wasn't especially innovative with regard to its prehistoric animals, which continued along the evolutionary paths that had been pretty much locked in during the preceding...
The Cenozoic Era (65 Million Years Ago to the Present)
The Cenozoic Era is easy to define: it's the stretch of geologic time that kicked off with the Cretaceous/Tertiary Extinction, 65...
The Eocene Epoch (56-34 Million Years Ago)
The Eocene epoch began 10 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, and continued for another 22 million years, up to 34 million years ago.
Permian Mass Extinction
It is the Earth's most severe known extinction event, with up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species becoming extinct.

Pro Housing | Project Return Inc.
Imagine not having a place to sleep at night despite working hard and earning well.
Homelessness is a major obstacle – second only to employment – for people returning from incarceration. In 2017 we launched Project Return Opportunities for Housing (PROh), an affordable housing initiative dedicated specifically to meet the permanent housing needs of people who've returned from incarceration, and have gotten their new lives on track, but unfortunately are excluded from rental opportunities due to their conviction history.
PROh is not about transitional halfway housing, and it is not about creating compounds or enclaves for a targeted population. Rather, it is a replication of the private rental market, in which we purchase and rehab modest homes. With PROh, we are preserving affordable housing stock across Nashville; our motivated PROe workers gain paid, hands-on experience in construction rehab and maintaining property; and hard-working Nashvillians are getting a place they can call home.

Ficción Juvenil Novela Joven adulto
#1 New York Times Best Seller!
"Eleanor & Park reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book."-John Green, The New York Times Book Review
Bono met his wife in high school, Park says.
So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers.
I'm not kidding, he says.
You should be, she says, we're 16.
What about Romeo and Juliet?
Shallow, confused, then dead.
I love you, Park says.
Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers.
You should be.
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love-and just how hard it pulled you under.

Raekwon The Chef doesn't sound like he's aged a day on his recent album The Wild, so we've pulled another of our favorite tracks from the Wu-Tang emcee's recent release. "Nothing" is as vintage as it gets for Rae.
Spitting his raspy bars over a sparse, almost western-sounding beat, Raekwon's storytelling comes to the forefront. He raps about the abject poverty of the hood and how the chase for a little bit of cash drives everything. It's a testament to Raekwon's talent that his stories sound as fresh and gritty as every despite 20 years in the game.


The hundred was sometimes known as Awre hundred in the early 13th century (fn. 12) but otherwise it was called Bledisloe to 1640 when Charles I ordered that the name be changed to Lydney hundred; (fn. 13) from that time it was sometimes called the hundred of Lydney alias Bledisloe (fn. 14) but more usually the old name alone continued in use.
The three parishes of Bledisloe hundred were bordered on the north-west by the Crown's demesne land of the Forest and on the south-east by the river Severn and gained land from both over the centuries, taking assarts from the royal demesne and reclaiming land from the river. The main ancient route through the hundred, the road between Gloucester and Chepstow, made a rough boundary between the hillsides below the Forest and an area of more gently rolling land and riverside levels. The hillsides, which are formed mainly of the Old Red Sandstone, are broken by a series of narrow, deep valleys by which the Soudley, Blackpool, Newerne, and Cone brooks and a number of other streams drain the central plateau of the Forest, reaching the Severn at muddy inlets, known locally as pills. The slopes were thickly wooded in the Middle Ages and large parts of Lydney remained so later, but in other places the woods gave way to large commons. The lower land was mostly in closes from antiquity but there were some open fields and common meadows on the levels and on the land immediately above them. In Awre only the land around its old village required an Act of parliament to inclose it in 1796, but Alvington's inclosure in 1814 was, for a parish of the Forest area, an unusually major reorganization. Lydney's large commons were inclosed late, in 1864.
Except for Awre village, set in a wide loop of the Severn, the principal settlements, Blakeney, Newerne, Lydney, Aylburton, and Alvington, were based on the main Gloucester-Chepstow road. There were a number of other hamlets but some, such as Box and Nass, were later reduced to one or two farmsteads as holdings were amalgamated. Great medieval magnates, including the Berkeleys, held manors in Awre and Lydney, and Llanthony priory acquired Alvington and Aylburton. There were also many substantial ancient freeholds. In the late 16th century much land was absorbed into an estate built up by the Winters of Lydney, and the Lydney estate remained a substantial one in 1994, its owners, the Bathursts, being survivors of the gentry families who had dominated the Forest area in the 18th and 19th centuries. A smaller estate at Hagloe, in Awre, survived in the ownership of the Crown, but the Clanna estate, formed in the 19th century and based in Alvington, had been dispersed.
The small customary tenancies on the manors gave way in the early modern period to a pattern of medium-sized farms. Cattle were raised on the rich pastures at the riverside, and there were numerous orchards, mainly of the local stire cider apple. From the mid 19th century milk production, aided by railway links, was the principal farming enterprise. Salmon fisheries, worked with putcher weirs, stopping boats, and lave nets, provided an additional source of income for the riverside farmers.
The river Severn, the extensive woodland, and streams for powering mills and forges all contributed to the strong trading and industrial element in the local economy. Iron was worked in movable, bloomery forges in the Middle Ages, and Lydney and Alvington were centres of the iron industry in the era of charcoal blast furnaces and water-powered forges in the 17th and 18th centuries. Blakeney was a centre for cornmilling and for tanning, the tanners using oak bark from the Forest. The pills on the river, notably Gatcombe, traded in the products of the Forest area, including timber, iron, coal, cider, and bark. Purton, which was at one of the principal Severn ferries, and Gatcombe were the main outlets for oak timber for naval shipbuilding during the Napoleonic Wars.
Lydney, for many centuries only a minor market town, grew rapidly in significance during the 19th century. After 1812, when a tramroad was built down to a new harbour there, it was one of the main outlets for Forest coal and stone, and its ironworks, adapted to tinplating, became a major employer. Lydney's position was bolstered later by railways, both the main South Wales line, built along the riverside and opened in 1851, and a line linking the Forest to the other side of the Severn by a great bridge at Purton, completed in 1879. Blakeney remained a smaller industrial centre, but the railway built through it to a projected harbour was not a success. Alvington retained some modest industrial activity in the form of paper mills which replaced two of its forges. In the 20th century Lydney town continued to grow: new factories were established there to help offset the decline of industry in the adjoining Forest and housing estates were laid out. In other parts of the hundred agriculture remained a strong element, though subject to the nationwide changes of the late 20th century, including the reduction in the number of farms through amalgamation, the ploughing of old pasture and meadow, and the loss of most of the orchards.

I flew to Xi'an, China in August 2010 to teach English part-time at Siyuan University for about 10 months. I had been to China before for one month but it was just for travel. I'm now at the end of my stay in China and about to continue my journey elsewhere. I'm going to really miss China.
I'm an avid traveller and have backpacked across the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries as well. And I often noticed that most backpackers skip the Philippines on their backpacking itinerary. I always think that they're missing a lot since my home country is such a backpacker's heaven because of the numerous islands, beaches and mountains that they can go to. Here are five places that I think every backpacker should visit in the Philippines.
From November 2009 to January 2010, I volunteered with a nonprofit organization in Buenos Aires, Argentina called L.I.F.E. I found them through Google but what I really found came back to me with a surprise. I was about to volunteer in an area where my mother had spent years growing up in and I had no idea.

SOUTHERN-UTAH
SUU basketball: T-Birds fall to UNLV in thriller
rmiller4@thespectrum.com
With 2:42 remaining, Southern Utah University guard Decardo Day sprinted down the court with a chance to tie the game. He dribbled into the paint, spun around a University of Nevada Las Vegas defender and put the ball off the glass.
It bounced off the rim.
UNLV rebounded the miss and Jovan Mooring nailed a 3-point shot from the wing on the other end to give the Rebels a five-point lead. It was a swing the T-Birds couldn't recover from, and UNLV survived with an 89-81 win over Southern Utah Wednesday night at Centrum Arena.
The Mooring 3-pointer signaled the beginning of the end for the T-Birds. It kick-started a 9-0 Rebels' run to put the game away. Southern Utah had spent most of the night responding to big UNLV runs, but the T-Birds didn't have the time to respond one last time.
"We have a team that's clearly defined that they won't quit," SUU head coach Todd Simon said. "We have a team that showed tremendous poise in the face of adversity. Things didn't go their way. This loose ball or that call or this little run. They showed tremendous poise. That, for an inexperienced team that hasn't played a ton together, that has a lot of youth, that's a huge step."
Day was the one driving for the game-tying bucket because SUU guard Randy Onwuasor fouled out with a game-high 19 points with 5:01 left in the game. Onwuasor had 16 points in the first half but was forced to sit for much of the second part of the game after picking up two fouls in the first five minutes after halftime
But even without their leading scorer, the T-Birds didn't cave. When Onwuasor left with over 15 minutes to go in the game — SUU trailed by seven — the T-Birds were able to cut the lead to three without him.
James McGee and Race Parsons helped soften the blow of losing Onwuasor. McGee poured 18 points and Parsons added 15. Both upperclassmen drained timely 3-point shots that helped keep the T-Birds close and get the Centrum on its feet.
It was one of the biggest crowds in years to see a basketball game at the Centrum, and the 4,249 who came were treated to quite the show by the T-Birds and Rebels.
It was a back and forth battle with each team answering run after run, and that started immediately from the tip. UNLV jumped out to a 13-2 lead right out of the gates in the first four minutes of the game.
SUU took the Rebels' best punch and then responded.
T-Bird big man Christian Musuko woke the T-Birds up. He took a pass in the lane from James McGee and delivered a powerful two-handed slam. That big hammer kick-started a 9-0 run to pull the T-Birds within 2 points.
And it helped start a trend that would continue for the rest of the night. UNLV building a lead before the T-Birds came storming back.
"It was a fun game to play; it was back and forth," said guard John Marshall, who finished with 9 points and 5 rebounds. "I think our team realized how much potential we have and how far we've come."
But just not far enough, at least not yet. The T-Birds, like they have all season, were unable to close out a game. But they were close.
SUU cut it to a one-point game at 66-65 with just over 8 minutes remaining; then went on to miss its next six shots to let UNLV get some breathing room.
The T-Birds had one last run in them. Immediately after Onwuasor fouled out, Marshall hit an acrobatic layup and McGee drained a 3-pointer. A few possession later, Parsons hit a corner 3-pointer to cut the lead to 77-75, setting up the 5-point swing that put an end to the T-Birds.
"That group left everything they had, they emptied the tank for us," Simon said. "At the end of the day, they didn't quite have enough to get over that hump."

Electric Grid Operator Warns Summer Blackout Threat Could Recur
KUT 90.5 | By Kate Galbraith, Texas Tribune

In a report released Thursday, the state's electric grid operator indicated that next summer could see a repeat of the rolling blackout threats that plagued Texas past summer. The reason: rising demand for electricity and some power plants going offline.
"If we stay in the current cycle of hot and dry summers, we will be very tight on capacity next summer and have a repeat of this year's emergency procedures and conservation appeals," Trip Doggett, chief executive of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), said in a statement.
If crazy weather — like the deep freeze in February that caused large numbers of power plants to break down — hits again this winter, outages could also result then, the report said. But Doggett put the risk of this happening in the wintertime as "very low."
Among the power plants ERCOT expects to go offline are two units of Luminant's 1970s-era Monticello coal plant, in Titus county. Luminant has said that new pollution rules from the federal Environmental Protection Agency will make it impossible to operate the plant next year and that the agency's efforts to soften the rule in response to such concerns have not gone far enough.
ERCOT is also concerned about the ongoing drought, because power plants that use natural gas or coal or nuclear power rely on vast amounts of water to cool their equipment. Altogether, nearly 11,500 megawatts of electric generation in Texas "relies on water sources that are at historically low levels," the report said. That's roughly 18 percent of the grid's installed capacity for the winter, though arrangements with other power plants not normally counted can increase that total capacity figure.
ERCOT's warning comes a few days after a national electric-reliability group released a report citing Texas and New England as places where the long-term ability to avoid blackouts is of particular concern.
In all, ERCOT said today, some 2,234 megawatts of power-plant capacity is expected to go offline by next summer. This means that if there is an electricity crisis, fewer power plants will be available as backup. (Happily, however, weather experts believe next summer will not be quite as hot as last summer.) In addition, ERCOT said, some 1,259 megawatts of planned power plants have been delayed or put on hold, including a solar plant in Travis County and a wind project in Jack County as well as two coal plants.
ERCOT is working on steps to combat the threat of blackouts, by helping craft new rules to incentivize homes and businesses to lower their afternoon electric consumption. (Summer afternoons are when power demand is greatest, due to air-conditioners running full-blast in the heat.)
The report may highlight ongoing concerns about the ability of the deregulated Texas electric market to incentivize the building of new power plants. In other words, despite the high wholesale prices that accompanied last summer's heat — at least some of which got passed on to consumers — Texas electricity regulators have been concerned that prices may not be high enough to encourage companies to invest in new power plants. Large numbers of new power projects are in fact planned for the future, but there is no guarantee that they will be built.
"We're really reviewing the way the market sends signals, and whether they're sufficient to incent the building of generation, or whether we need to change those," Donna Nelson, the chair of the Public Utilities Commission, which regulates the grid, told the Tribune in September.
The conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation, in a statement, said the ERCOT report showed that caps on wholesale electric prices had proved problematic, as have renewable energy subsidies. "To ensure adequate supplies of electricity in the future, we have to eliminate harmful regulations so that the market can do its work," said Bill Peacock, TPPF's vice-president of research.

Act Fast if You Want This Limited-Edition Schwinn
The Limited-Edition Schwinn Apple Krate Is Old School Cool
Only 500 of these bikes are are available, so act fast.
By Gabriel Lodge and Matt Phillips Published: Nov 29, 2018

Style: 1968 Schwinn Krate
Quantity: Limited, as only 500 will be sold through Amazon
The right bike for: Vintage-lovers who want to own a nostalgic classic
Few things are more Americana in the bike industry than a retro Schwinn. And few, if any, retro Schwinns were more popular than the Krate models. Originally released in 1968 and sold until 1973, the Krates are synonymous with childhood for many Americans.
Now, for the 5oth anniversary of the initial release, Schwinn is selling a super limited-editon run of the Apple Krate—only 500 bikes will be sold through Amazon. Featuring a glossy red frame and sparkly banana seat, the available model is based on the original 1968 design. Each bike will be shipped in a specially designed box and your purchase will include an individually-numbered card along with a Sting Ray book and pin, adding to the value of this unique offer.
More From Bicycling
Each bike will arrive in a 50th anniversary box to commemorate the Apple Krate's legacy.
Schwinn first introduced the Sting-Ray in 1963. The story is recounted in No Hands: The Rise And Fall of the Schwinn Bicycle Company, an American Institution by Judith Crown and Glenn Coleman, as well as Schwinn Bicycles by Jay Pridmore & Jim Hurd.
As it says in Schwinn Bicycles, in 1962 one of Schwinn's outside sales reps told Al Fritz—then part of Schwinn's design department in Chicago—about a trend happening in Southern California. Kids were building "pig bikes" by adding longhorn handlebars and a polo seat (also known as a "banana seat") to a 20-inch frame.
Based on the account in No Hands, Fritz assembled his own pig bike in Chicago, then added a dash of styling inspired by Southern California's car culture—including slick dragster-style tires—and named his creation "Sting-Ray."

When Schwinn's then-president, Frank V. Schwinn, laid eyes on Fritz's prototype Sting-Ray, he was not impressed. Fritz, however, predicted it would sell 20,000 units that year (1963), which would make it the best-selling model in Schwinn's line. The two men made a 20-dollar bet, and Frank Schwinn lost big: The company sold 45,000 Sting Rays in the last half of 1963 alone. The company could have sold more, but couldn't make enough tires to keep up with demand. By 1968, Schwinn had sold two million Sting Rays.
Schwinn would go on to build many variations of the Sting Ray, but the Krates, produced from 1968 to 1973, are some of the most beloved.
Tom Findley
The Krates were the boldest Sting Rays, styled after funny cars, with a wide, slick rear tire; a smaller (16-inch) front wheel with narrower tire; and features like a five-speed drivetrain with stick shift, springer suspension fork, suspended saddle, front drum brake, rear rim brake, bright paint, and clever names.
Some of the best known are the Orange Krate, Apple Krate, Pea Picker, Cotton Picker, and Lemon Peeler. In 1968, a brand new Krate sold for about $87; today an original Krate in good condition sells for thousands of dollars on the auction market.

El tránsito de la Virgen o La dormición de la Virgen es un icono atribuido al Greco, que se encuentra en la Catedral del Tránsito de la Virgen, en Ermúpoli, (Grecia)

Introducción
En el Tránsito de María —según el cristianismo ortodoxo— se añade a la Asunción de María la creencia de que la Virgen María fue dormida, antes de ser asunta al Cielo. La Dormición de la Virgen —con o sin La Asunción— ha dado lugar a una iconografía frecuente en el arte bizantino y posbizantino.
La presenta tabla —descubierta en 1983 por George Mastoropoulos— es la obra más antigua documentada del Greco, ya que está firmada por "Doménikos Theotokópoulos". Junto con La Adoración de los Reyes y San Lucas pintando el retrato de la Virgen, es una de las tres conservadas, supuestamente por el Greco en Creta, firmadas por "Domenikos". Harold Wethey, en su catálogo razonado de obras del Greco, atribuye estas firmas a un hipotético "maestro Doménikos", pero la presente tabla se descubrió posteriormente a dicho catálogo.

Análisis de la obra

Datos técnicos y registrales

 Catedral del Tránsito de la Virgen,
 Pintura al temple y pan de oro sobre tabla; 61 x 45 cm;
 Realizado 1565-1567 ca., según Palma Martínez-Burgos; antes de 1567, según Álvarez Lopera;
 Catalogado con el número 2 por Álvarez Lopera;
 Firmado en el pie del candelabro, en primer plano, con letras griegas mayúsculas: [Δ]ΟΜΗΝΙΚΟΣ ΘΕΟΤΟΚΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ Ο ΔΕΙΞAΣ.

Descripción de la obra
La composición muestra la dormición y muerte de María, la subida de su alma a los cielos y su glorificación. La obra muestra la dualidad primeriza del pintor, quien por un lado es fiel a la tradición bizantina, mientras que por otro muestra un eclecticismo inspirado en el Renacimiento italiano.

La horizontalidad de la Virgen dormida contrasta con el sentido ascensional de la parte superior. Los apóstoles son testigos de la bajada de Cristo a recoger al alma de María quien, ya coronada, preside la gloria celestial. El Espíritu Santo, en forma de paloma en el centro, actúa como intermediario. El Greco se inspira en modelos ya usados por Andreas Ritzos, mientras que el candelabro en la zona inferior central se basa en un grabado de Marcantonio Raimondi. Los modelos arquitectónicos derivan de Georgios Klontzas, como el edificio de la derecha, que tal vez remite a María (Ezequiel 46:1-2) como "puerta cerrada de Oriente".

Looking through the lens: Roses in November?
Yes, I've said it before, and I'll say it again; Once the roses start flowering in the spring, I know I'll have the scent of roses almost every day, until the snow falls.
This year, the snow came in November. And as you can see, caught my roses by surprise. Some of the rosebushes still had several unsprung roses, just waiting for another sunny day to come out. But that will probably never happen now. These shots were taken last week, and even though the snow is all gone now. I can't see any activity in the bushes any more.


Rustboro City is on the horizon, but they're not there yet. Ash, Brock, Max and May have just arrived at a Contest Hall. Janet and Chaz, two experienced Pokémon Coordinators, teach the gang all about Contests. Pokémon Contests are different from battles in that it's not the strength of the attack that matters, but the beauty of its execution. Winners get ribbons instead of badges. The gang decides that they want to try entering today's contest, but they're too late. All is not lost, however, because Chaz offers to teach Pikachu the Iron Tail attack. And Janet lets May assist her with during the contest. During the contest, Chaz and Janet both perform really well and make it to the final round. In the end, Janet's Beautifly steals the show! May is really impressed and she's determined to one day enter a contest herself.

Robots Can't Play Dominoes
Another temp agency call put me in my first and only actual factory job. When I got the call (remember when you had to be at home to get a call?), all the information they could give me was that it was a factory job and did I want it or not? It was for a week or so of work so I said yes. They gave me the address and a contact name and off I went.
When I got to the building somewhere South of Market, I found a large industrial looking place with "Bottling Company" in very faded paint up on the wall. What I found out inside was that if you had a dry powdery substance that you wanted to put into a glass jar with a screw top then this was the place to get it done. Instant coffee (this weeks job), powdered drink mix, coffee creamer, bouillon, etc, they would put it a jar for you.
There were four of us in the temp agency crew that week. The group of us worked as a team at the very beginning of the production line which was also the end. The four jobs in order were:
1. Take a box of empty jars off a stacked palette, open the flaps, and turn it over onto a steel platform upside down
2. Slide box of empty jars onto conveyor belt and hand off box across conveyor line to filler
3. Take full jars of product off of line and fill empty box, fold down flaps
4. Take full box, tape top, and re-stack appropriately on palette
That was the job, actually four jobs, for eight hours per day for at least a week. To avoid absolute insanity, after each break we changed positions. That way each of us had a two hour shift at each position every day.
None of it was difficult, there was no heavy lifting. Even full the boxes did not weigh a lot. The pace was pretty fast but never out of control. It was very old school and I understand why robots do those jobs today. It was boring. I felt like a machine as the movements were repeated over and over again with no variation possible.
In the break room we found out that the positions we filled were usually temp since the place did not operate full time. When they had product to jar, it was working, when the product ran out, the line was closed.
The permanent jobs were the machine maintenance crew and the fillers. The job of the fillers was to open whatever containers the product arrived in and empty that product into a hopper above the filler machine. Sometimes it was bags that weighed 50 lbs or more or it might be 55 gallon plastic jugs that took two people to lift and tip. They wore complete jumpsuits, head socks, rubber boots, gloves, serious filter masks, and goggles. These guys would come into the break room with any exposed skin on their faces caked with the coffee we were filling that run. Their jumpsuits were taped at wrists and where the pant legs met the boots. Coffee powder dropped off of them with each step they took and there were brown spots on the break table from their elbows and forearms. While drinking sodas and playing dominoes until it was time to go back upstairs they told us that the worst product for them was orange drink mix. It contained lots of sugar which was very sticky in the hot sweaty bin room.
I completed the assignment but never again worked in a factory. Well paid jobs are necessary and there is no shame in filling or emptying a box, but in my opinion, the robots can have those positions. Robots never get bored and don't need lunch breaks but then again, they don't know how to play dominoes either.

Hi All! Last year I went to the Bahamas to celebrate my sister's bachelorette weekend. There were about 9 of us ladies and we had a really great time. One of my favorite things about the about the trip was the fact that everywhere I turned there were Conch Fritters (one of my best memories on the trip involved food, go figure). When I first saw them I was skeptical, thinking that I would be biting into a mouthful of greasy, bready batter. Nope, not at all! They were light, crisp and filled with chopped conch (think humungous clam of sorts, in more of a "snaily" type shell). I think I had a fritter with every meal while I was there, super good!
1. Preheat oil to 350°F.
2. Place shrimp, green onions and garlic into a large mixing bowl and toss together. Set Aside.
3. Pour water into medium pot and add butter and salt and bring to a boil.
4. Once mixture has come to a boil, add flour and quickly stir with a wooden spoon, until dough forms. Continue to stir over medium heat, for about 3 minutes.
5. Place dough into a stand mixer fixed with a paddle attachment and run on medium speed, allowing steam to escape.
6. Once most of the steam has disappeared add the egg, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
7. Fold pepper into the pate a choux (the doughy/battery mixture).
8. Fold the shrimp mixture into the pate a choux until fully incorporated.
9. Once oil is hot, add tablespoon sized balls of the shrimp mixture into the oil (you'll have to do this in batches); make sure not to crowd the pan/fryer.
10. Fry each fritter for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway if necessary. Drain on a paper towel and season lightly with salt. Serve immediately with spicy honey drizzle.
These look so good and I'd love to see Bahamas/bachelorette weekend pics!!! Dust off the archived pics!
i want to have an eating contest and these are what i want to eat.
i'd totally win. WATCH OUT.
Oh my gosh these fritters look amazing!
OOoh sheit, I'd totally be in on this eating contest. Yum!
The recipe looks deceptively simple for such a fantastic-looking dish. Honey drizzle? Oh, goodness, I'm in LOVE!
ha-il yeah shrimp fritters! whenever my favorite local bistro has these on the menu i eat way too many. yours have that wonderful Asian twist though — mmm Sambal.
ps, i made your hush puppies last weekend with some ribs and some coleslaw. they were easily the best part of dinner! my friends raved. thanks for making me look good.
I try not to eat too much fried food, but you know, this is the sort of thing that weakens my resolve! Looks so good!
this looks like such a winner. TASTY!
Another way to fry shrimp. I gotta make these!!
We absolutely LOVE your blog and have followed for quite some time now. We nominated you for a Versatile Blogger Award! Check out here if you wish to play along!
Keep up your inspiring posts! Frances checks in daily, me too!
What perfect party food this would be…this would last all of 5 seconds at my place as everyone loves prawns/shrimp.
What heaven! Can't wait to give this a try. Great post!
Looks so yummy! I want to make it, sounds fairly easy though I don't have a stand mixer. Can I just kneed the dough?
Hi Liza!…you can't really knead this as it's more of a super sticky, thick batter (pate choux)…but you can either use a hand mixer OR keep the mixture in the saucepan and stir like crazy as you add the eggs (using a wooden spoon) until fully incorporated. Stirring by hand is obviously the toughest method, but it's totally doable. Good luck!
This recipe did NOT work.
Followed the directions step by step and dough turned out terrible.
Ok Kyle. Don't be rude.
For sure you didn't make the pate a choux correctly… it's something that can be super tricky if you aren't sure how to do it. Like the girls specified, it's not a dough as much as a really sticky batter. Here's a video on exactly how to do this cool technique (follow the SpoonForkBacon recipe, but this technique): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOb_d-2o5Vw&feature=related. This is Jaques Pepin, so you know it's authentic… ;) I happened to be watching the Cooking Channel the morning I was planning on making these & Gale Gand demo'd how to do this. I was super pumped cause I would certainly have botched it, too had I not fully understood what this batter should be.
And also, these guys here have their stuff down, Kyle… so the attitude ("thanks a lot") could probably be toned down, hey. It's not your fault if you don't know how to do a new technique – cooking is all about learning & trying the new things! But it's certainly not their fault that you don't know how to do something. Be nice, please. I like these guys!
I'm planning on making these for a baby shower today. Any way I can make the dough ahead? Help!
Tried these last night and they were absolutely delish!!!!!
These will be great for the next party! Thanks for the recipe!
Made these yesterday and I am here to tell you these were better than any fritter we have had in Key West…..
Just made these and are eating them as we speak. Delicious!
These were EXCELLENT! I did mine with a honey mustard dip and it complemented them so well. The recipe was so easy to follow.
Ignore my last comment…I must have totally missed the eggs!! Sorry!!
just made these! so delicious. cut the recipe in half though cause i made them only for myself. YUM!
hi. Don't know if anyone else asked this question but can you still make the dough without a mixer ?
If you are willing to work up your arm muscles, then yes!! It's just a very thick, pasty dough and can get a little difficult to stir by hand…totally doable though!
Do I deep fry the balls or am I just pan frying?
This recipe is intended to be deep fried…but you could definitely pan fry them in about 2 inches of oil and just flip them after about 3-4 minutes!
Ugghhh, this recipe was a HUGE MESS!!! A total fail!! The shrimp wouldnt combine in the dough. Yuck!!
Hm, that's odd. The dough recipe is a basic pate choux recipe…which can be a little tricky if you haven't made pate choux before (for eclairs, cream puffs, etc.) Did you make sure the dough came together completely to create a sticky, doughy batter before adding the shrimp? Or did the mixture look curdled like the eggs wouldn't blend in? It seems like your dough didn't come, otherwise it would be impossible for the shrimp not to blend in nicely with the dough/batter.
Can these be made and frozen, and then reheated before serving? I am looking for something that can be take on a sailing trip and reheated.
Hi Jill! I wouldn't recommend reheating these as they don't crisp us as well the second time around. I do recommend making our apple + Cheddar scones though…they're savory with a hint of sweetness and reheat quite well! Enjoy your sailing trip!
I definitely need to try this. I'm from Belize, and xonch and shrimp fritters are very common here. I usually buy them but I've decided that this time around I'll make my own. Thanks so much for the recipe!
I know it says to eat right away, but can you freeze and rewarm these for parties? I would like to make these, but don't have the time right before my party.
I don't think these would reheat very well. When they're freshly fried, the have a thin, crisp outer shell, with a soft center, I'm not entirely sure they would crisp back up very well!
You could use a whisk attachment, but it will take longer to whip up and you'll also have to push the collected batter (which will look very clumpy and wet in the beginning) out from the center of the attachment a few times, while whipping, to make sure everything gets completely combined. So yes, but it will be more labor intensive!


Those who only know him as a risk-taking pianist in bands like In Order To Survive will discover the down-home side of his personality as he improvises on traditional Southern instruments like the one-string diddley-bo, mouth bow and banjo. Those — usually in New York — who have seen him use these skiffle band ingredients in folkloric settings will marvel at his skills at piano, drums-skins and cymbal, as well as a vocalist.
AMERICA isn't a one-man show in any way, though. In full-partnership is Assif Tsahar, on hand to play tenor saxophone, bass clarinet and classical guitar. With instrumental smarts wedded to populist protest material, the CD comes across as a weird amalgam of the ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC and SILENT TONGUES. Or imagine Albert Ayler, Dock Boggs, Phil Ochs, Cannonball Adderley and Curtis Mayfield doing a gig together.
Throughout, there are all sorts of odd juxtapositions. The second version of "Lament for Trees" for instance, evolves from a mournful ballad with echoes of "Three Blind Mice" to something that showcases ultra-modern reed screeches, altissimo cries and flutter tonguing from Tsahar's tenor. All the while Moore is providing the rhythm with shimmering, double bass-like diddley-bo vibrations. Or take the title tune, where to the accompaniment of tough reed lines from Tsahar and a relentless synth-like beat, lyrics like "America do you think about the lives that you have stolen" are shouted out by Moore with the intensity of a 1960s folk-protest singer.
At times, frailing, Appalachian Mountain banjo licks ricochet, at others, somehow the stringed instrument takes on the properties of a whining bottleneck guitar. On the same piece Tsahar adds legato clarinet textures and gut-string guitar accompaniment until Moore explodes all over his axe with harsh, dissonant plucks — making it sound as if it has as many strings as an oud.
Spurred by reed multiphonics, Moore can also use just drum tops and a cymbal to replicate a veritable Art Blakey-like percussion fest that meets Tsahar's squeals, snorts and irregular vibrations head on. In other places, woody, legato breaths from the bass clarinet join trills that aurally resemble penetrating piccolo timbres and are perhaps created by a vertically blown recorder.
Crisp, experimental textures aren't ignored, either. The more than nine-minute "Wounded Knee" finds the saxman spitting out split tones to achieve higher, more varied timbres. Meanwhile Moore ranges around the piano keyboard using contrasting dynamics and focused note clusters to centre and pinpoint certain patterns, while strumming chords with the other hand.
Elsewhere, the pianist will start a repetitive melody with his right hand, only to add colorful asides with his left. Cadenza fills provide the sort of weight needed, so that the reedist has a base on which he can comfortably solo. Later Moore seesaws between modal-like tremolos and a boogie-woogie feel as the sax output wavers from treetop-high textures to a final reed squeak.
From beginning to end AMERICA is both an impressive socio-anthropological, as well as a musical statement.


Much of her confusion might stem from her being a young Ghanaian girl. While it is true that women in the country have taken exciting steps forward and have set in motion efforts to continue this trend, they still fall behind men in many regards, including education and economic opportunities.
Ghanaian women like Salma face lower rates of youth literacy than their male counterparts, and while men and women have nearly equal enrolment rates in primary education, the numbers shift as they transition into secondary school. By the time women enrol in tertiary programmes, they will find over three-quarters (77.6%) of the girls who had attended primary school with them have dropped out somewhere along the way.
These rates cause a rather predictable and direct effect upon Ghanaian women's economic opportunities: in 2016, men outnumbered women by over one-third (up to 35%) in the workforce, depending on income bracket.
Given this reality, it is perhaps less surprising that Salma – with her unwavering commitment to reach the highest educational level – had struggled to shape positive attitudes and relationships with her peers in her earlier years.
Salma's dark eyes glisten while she gathers her thoughts, lending them a powerful voice from beneath the Generations For Peace baseball cap pulled tightly around her hair. Set against the backdrop of Saint Peter's Mission School in Accra, Ghana, the twelve-year-old student explains how she has always admired strong women making a difference in the world.
In a world where Salma justifiably feels that many women are not met with high expectations or opportunities professionally, the two women she admires do, indeed, wield tremendous influence over West African children and society on the whole.
Funke Akindele is a Nigerian actress known for her comedic roles, including one in a sitcom called I Need to Know, which was funded by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). However, Akindele is more than an actress: she is a tireless activist for the rights of youth – especially women – most recently calling for an end to student flogging in Nigerian schools in January.
Nana Aba Anamoah, is no less impressive: she has made waves for her far-reaching success as a Ghanaian journalist and radio- and television host, despite struggling as a student and receiving low marks in her courses.
Salma's self-assurance and headstrong nature have not gone unnoticed, largely due to her attitude surrounding them. On the one hand, they have given her the confidence to reach for noble, towering dreams. The schoolgirl hopes to become a doctor, providing affordable healthcare in her community, which currently maintains a limited number of facilities – all of which charge often unattainable fees to would-be patients.
Yet the same qualities that fuel her ambitious aspirations have brought about an immense weight of loneliness in her life – too much of which, she admits, was self-inflicted.
"I used to look down on the poor, minority groups, and disadvantaged Africans in general. Many times, I blew up friendships with my pride and egocentric feelings. I always found ways to undermine or look down on others." Her blue school uniform peers out from beneath her Generations For Peace T-Shirt as her classmates run behind her, playing in the Sport For Peace programme put on by volunteers of the prominent Jordanian NGO.
Salma's loneliness brought her to Generations For Peace during her final year of primary school. Since then, she has begun to build and find peace in her internal conflicts and her outward relationships.
Salma is still in the midst of a transformation, grappling with the struggles that come alongside being a young woman in Ghana. Now, though, she is well on her way to changing the world and becoming the next Funke Akindele, Nana Aba Anamoah, or maybe even Diana Acheampong.
