New MILO Gao Siew Dai: Make It Instantly At Home
MILO Singapore has unveiled a new MILO variant – the MILO Gao Siew Dai.
Gao Siew Dai is local Singaporean speak for "extra thick, less sugar" and the new MILO version delivers on this with 50% less table sugar and 30% more protein.
This product innovation is made-in-Singapore and in line with Nestle's global commitment to reduce the sugar added to its product across its portfolio by 5%. MILO is owned by Nestle.
Creating a New MILO Variant
Creating MILO Gao Siew Dai was not simply a matter of cutting down on sugar.
Explaining, Mr Olivier Aprikian, Head, MILO, Research & Development said, "Balancing taste and health concerns was a pivotal part of the innovation process. Other than reducing sugar, we had to tweak the other elements and added in more cocoa and milk to ensure the beverage's taste was not compromised."
The new MILO Gao Siew Dai adopts Singapore's Health Promotion Board's Healthier Choice Symbol which aims to encourage lower sugar intake amongst Singaporeans.
Ms Joanna Chan, Director of Obesity Prevention Management Division of HPB, said "We are very happy that MILO®, as one of the early adopters of the Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS), has been a strong industry supporter in our initiatives to reduce the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages."
Brand Ambassador for MILO Gao Siew Dai
MILO Singapore also announced Joseph Schooling as the new MILO Gao Siew Dai ambassador. The brand ambassadorship is part of MILO being a sponsor of the 29th Southeast Asian Games.
'Live' Skype session with MILO® Brand Ambassador Joseph Schooling and his mother, May Schooling from Texas, at the launch of MILO® Gao Siew Dai today at Nestlé's R&D Centre
Joseph, together with his mother, May Schooling, joined in for a "Live" Skype session from Texas for the launch. His father, Colin Schooling was present at the launch event at the Nestle R&D Centre in Singapore.
Joseph Schooling said: "I'm humbled and happy to be MILO's new ambassador. The brand truly resonates with me. As a child I grew up drinking MILO. Today, it remains relevant in my life as an adult and the beverage provides me with the energy and nutrients I need to take on the day's challenges, be it at training or in life."
According to MILO Singapore, MILO Gao Siew Dai is tailored for adults and especially catered to the Singaporean palate. It is now available at all leading supermarkets.
"It's marvelous what MILO can do for you!"

The Dragonborn's Tale 26 – Lost
Posted on July 7, 2013 by Wendy Schardein
A/N: This chapter contains major spoilers for the Dragonborn DLC.
Selene and Brynjolf went back to Raven Rock and traded some things they had picked up on the road. Glover mentioned a group of hunters at Frostmoon Crag that they might trade with, and they decided to stop there on the way to the Skaal Village. They rested for the night and headed north the next morning, stopping at Brodir Grove that night after fighting and killing some bandits who had made camp there. Frostmoon Crag was a hollow in a rocky hillside about an hour's walk north of Brodir Grove. When they got there, Selene got a surprise.
As she walked up the narrow, boulder-flanked path to the crag, she became aware of very familiar scents. She didn't know who these hunters were, but she knew what they were. They were werewolves.
As they reached the campsite, a woman dressed in primitive-looking furs stood up and drew a dagger. "Hold travelers. You have no business here. Be on your way." She stopped, sniffed them, and cocked her head curiously at Selene. "Wait, you're one of us. A werewolf."
The woman put her dagger away. "Welcome, sister. I am Rakel of the Frostmoon Pack."
"I'm Selene of the Companions, and this is my husband Brynjolf."
Rakel looked at Brynjolf with distaste. "A human."
"I try not to hold that against him," Selene teased. "We were told we might trade here."
"Talk to Majni, our Alpha. He is over there." She pointed to a red-haired, bearded Nord who sat by the fire under a great overhang.
Selene thanked to Rakel and strode over to Majni, who nodded. "Welcome sister. It has been long since we met another who shares our blood. Did I hear you say you are of the Companions?"
"Aye, that's right."
"There were always rumors that the Companions were werewolves."
"Not all of them; it's a small pack, only three of us. Are there other werewolves on Solstheim?"
The Alpha shrugged. "You might find a few. Strays, loners. Ours is the last true pack that remains." He looked over at Brynjolf. "Has your mate not offered you the beast blood? Or have you refused Hircine's blessing?"
"I'm afraid I'm already committed to another Daedric Prince," Brynjolf told him. "They don't like it when their followers cheat on them."
Majni chuckled. "Well, you are both welcome here, so long as you obey our laws."
It turned out that Majni didn't have much to trade except some rings enchanted by Hircine himself. Selene traded for a ring that would help her regenerate health more quickly when she was in beast form. They asked Selene to hunt with them, but she didn't want to leave Brynjolf alone, so she respectfully declined. After visiting a bit longer, they left the camp with an open invitation to come back and hunt with them.
"You could have hunted if you had wanted to," Brynjolf mentioned.
"No, we'd have likely been gone all night, and we don't have time for that. Besides, what would you have done while I was away?"
"Good point. It's funny. I never thought about becoming a werewolf."
"If you wanted to, I would do it. Like you, though, I don't know how Nocturnal would react to that."
He was quiet for a while, pensive. "What's it like?" he asked finally.
"What, being a werewolf? Well, you know I don't get a lot of sleep. The desire to hunt, the taste for blood, they're always there. I have good control over my wolf spirit, but at first, just getting angry would make her try to surface. I almost shifted accidentally several times before I learned to control her, and I did some things I'm not proud of."
"You fed on humans?"
"I fed on humans," she confirmed. "You would get angry a lot more easily. But again, it's a control issue. Vilkas could barely contain his temper. Farkas, Aela, and I do a better job."
"But those are the bad things. You don't want to be cured; there must be something you like."
"Oh, aye. The strength, the speed, the freedom. The senses are enhanced. You can see in the dark, and your sense of smell is out of this world, even in human form. You can hear a little better, but not much, in human form, anyway. Then there's the sex."
"Aye, you do seem particularly enthusiastic after you've been out hunting."
"The mating instinct is strongest after the shift."
"What is it like when you're both werewolves?"
"That, my love, is a loaded question, and I'm not answering it. You're actually thinking about this, aren't you?"
Brynjolf shrugged. "Perhaps. I'm not ready to do it tomorrow, but it's something to think about."
They fought a dragon later that morning. Miraak appeared and absorbed its soul, putting Selene in a bad mood. After the fight, they headed north again, or so they thought, but they got turned around. North of the snow line, much of the landscape looked the same. Though they both had good senses of direction, they lost their way and wandered around in a maze of rocks and ice for hours. Just when they thought they found had a path out, they would come upon another dead end, and the longer it took for them to find their way, the more irritable they became.
"For Kyne's sake!" Selene groused as they reached a rocky peak with nowhere to go but back the way they came. "We're never going to get out of here."
"Of course we are." He pointed to a village far in the distance. "Look, it's right there. Solstheim just isn't that big. I think I see a trail we might have missed. Down there. Let's try that one."
They found the trail Brynjolf spoke of, and it wound around and down until it ended up on the beach on the west side of the island. Selene threw up her hands in disgust.
"Lovely. We're on the exact opposite side of the island from where we need to be."
"I don't suppose telling you to think of this as an adventure would help, huh?"
"Not remotely. Damn it, Brynjolf, I thought you said that trail would lead us out of there."
"It did lead us out of there," he pointed out, the patience in his voice starting to disappear.
"Aye, in the wrong direction!" she shouted. "You would think you'd know the difference between east and west."
Brynjolf's face turned red, and his green eyes blazed. "All right, fine, crazy pregnant lady! What do you suggest?"
"Do not call me, 'crazy pregnant lady.'"
"It's better than the other name I'm thinking of. You're just as lost as I am, my darling. You haven't exactly led us in the right direction either, so get the Void off my back about making a wrong turn."
"Troll!"
"And that's better than 'crazy pregnant lady' how?"
"No, troll!" She pointed behind Brynjolf, and he turned to see a frost troll lumbering down the beach at them. Selene quickly nocked an arrow, aimed, and shot at the troll as Brynjolf drew his sword. She managed to get another shot off before he charged the beast, and he finished it off, taking his frustration with Selene out on it. He sustained some scrapes and bruises in the fight, and they sat down on the beach afterward, where Selene set about treating a deep gash in his forehead.
Brynjolf chuckled as she stitched the wound. "I thought you had called me a troll."
"I should have after you called me a crazy pregnant lady."
"Tell me you haven't been moody today. You've been biting my head off for nothing ever since Miraak stole that soul."
"Getting us lost is not nothing."
"You're just as responsible for that as I am, and you know it. But you don't hear me calling you down for it."
Selene sighed. "You're right; I'm sorry. But the fact remains—we've trudged through half of Solstheim and we're still lost."
"We're not lost anymore. We know exactly where we are."
"Oh? And how do we get to the Skaal Village from here?"
"Well, we'll just have to . . . walk, uh . . . walk around . . . the entire north end of the island. All right, we're still lost."
Selene chuckled and kissed his bandaged forehead. "I love you, troll."
"I love you, too, crazy pregnant lady."
They had three choices: they could go back the way they came and try to find their way through, they could head south along the beach and start again from Raven Rock, or they could go north. They decided to try going north.
As they neared the far north side of the island, they found a path leading away from the beach. The path led to another choice. They came upon a waterfall with a steep drop to a stream leading to the ocean. Near the waterfall was a door set into the glacier. There was access to the other side across the top of the waterfall, but they were tired and wanted to get out of the weather, so they decided to at least see what was behind the door. The map hadn't been much use all day, but if they were reading it right now, this seemed to be Castle Karstaag. If it was, hopefully they would find some evidence that Esmond Tyne, the thief who took Glover Mallory's bonemold formula, had been there.
The door had a master lock, which Selene picked, and it opened onto snow-covered courtyard with braziers containing glowing white stones to provide light. A giant, stone throne stood at one end, and a headless skeleton sat on it. Guarding the throne were three Rieklings. Selene and Brynjolf fought and killed the Rieklings and looked around the courtyard, but they couldn't find anything to loot; and though it was somewhat sheltered, they were still mostly out in the weather. They located a cave entrance off to one side, in which they found a colony of Rieklings.
"This day just gets better and better," Selene grumbled. "So much for resting inside."
She didn't like the idea of killing the Rieklings in their own home, so they tried to sneak through and kill as few of them as possible. They managed to sneak through the colony and down several levels of stairs and bridges without disrupting the whole place, and they only ended up killing three more of the little men. Selene hated it, but they had seen them and attacked, so there was nothing else they could do.
They crossed a bridge on one of the lowest levels and discovered a human lying dead on the ice below—a human wearing Guild armor.
"Esmond Tyne, I presume," said Brynjolf.
It was indeed Esmond, and he had Glover's bonemold formula folded up and stuffed into one of his pockets along with some gold, gems, and a valuable ebony dagger. Just beyond Esmond's body lay the cave's exit, and they came out halfway down the waterfall under a starlit sky. Fortunately, they found a slope that took them back up to the top. It was slippery and they had to help each other, but they made it without sliding back down and plunging into the stream. They made their way carefully across the waterfall, and with a little bit more climbing they found Benkongerike.
"Thank the Divines," Selene sighed with relief.
They figured the cave was empty because they had cleared it days ago, but Brynjolf explored it just to make sure. They were alone, and they were able to spend the night out of the frigid air. They left for the Skaal Village the next morning.
The weather was bad and it was slow going; they didn't arrive at the village until late in the afternoon. They found Storn and Frea sitting on the bench outside their home.
"Welcome, Skaal-Friends," Frea greeted them. "It is good to see you."
"But you are troubled," Storn noted.
"Aye. I spoke with Hermeus Mora."
"Ah, old Herma-Mora himself." He almost sounded affectionate. "So he's the one behind Miraak's power. I should have known."
"Why do you call him that?" Brynjolf asked. "It sounds like a child's rendition."
"It is simply our name for him. The Demon of Knowledge. He has long been our enemy."
"He told me he wants the 'Secrets of the Skaal.'"
"All-Maker preserve us," Frea whispered.
"We have many tales of Herma-Mora trying to trick us into revealing our secrets," Storn told them.
"But what secrets?" Selene wondered.
"Ancient lore handed down from shaman to shaman since the All-Maker first gave Solstheim to the Skaal. How to talk to the wind, how to listen to the earth. Nothing about power or mastery, nothing the Demon of Knowledge could use. But it is his nature to hoard secrets, and their value to him is of no consequence. The very fact that we have kept knowledge from him has increased his desire to have it."
"I need something from him, a Word of Power. It's the only thing that will help me defeat Miraak, and he said the only way he would teach it to me is if you gave up the secrets."
"So it falls to me," Storn murmured. "I do not know if I have the strength to face him. The Tree Stone is still corrupted, and the land is still out of balance. But the other stones have been cleansed, so hopefully that will be enough."
"You mean you'll give him what he wants?" Brynjolf asked.
"Yes. The Skaal also tell of the day Herma-Mora wins, the day we must finally give up our secrets. Give me the book, Skaal-Friend, and I will read it and speak to old Herma-Mora."
"Father, no!" Frea cried as Selene took the book from her knapsack. "This is wrong. The book is evil and against everything you have ever taught me."
"I must, Frea. It is the only way to ensure Solstheim's freedom from Miraak's shadow. Everything must change. Nothing that lives remains the same forever." He stroked Frea's cheek. "Do not fear for me, daughter. This is my destiny."
She took his hand and squeezed it. "Then I will stand beside you."
Storn took the book and stepped out into the center of town. "I am ready for whatever the foul master of this book has in store for me." He opened the book and read, and a cluster of black tentacles emerged from the ground. Some wrapped around him; some went right through him. He screamed in agony as an inky morass appeared before him, the one big eye glaring down at him and the hundreds of little eyes ebbing and flowing.
"At last, the Skaal yield up their secrets to me!" Hermeus Mora shouted victoriously.
"You . . . liar!" Storn choked out. "No . . . I won't . . . not to . . . you!"
"Father, no!" Frea pleaded, but Storn was caught up in his struggle with Mora and didn't hear her. "Do something!" she urged Selene, but when Selene stepped toward them she was thrown back by some invisible force.
The tentacles squeezed and whipped him about for half an hour. His groans and screams eventually alerted the townsfolk, who came to watch in horror as Mora forcibly extracted the secrets from his memory. Mora finally withdrew, the tentacles fell away, and Storn dropped to the ground, his body lifeless. Mora turned his eye on Selene.
"Dragonborn, you have delivered the secrets I requested. I will keep my promise and give you the Word of Power you need. You will be either a worthy opponent or a successor, as the tides of fate decree."
For a moment, Selene felt as if the tentacles had emerged and taken her into their grasp as the Word filled her head. She screamed with fright at the force of the transfer; next to her, Brynjolf put a hand out to steady her. Mora blinked his great eye and then disappeared.
"I'm all right," she assured her husband. She retreated deep inside herself to gain understanding of the Word from one of the dragons' souls, and she gasped as the knowledge flooded through her. Holy Kyne, the last Word of Power gave her the ability to tame and ride dragons!
Frea knelt next to Storn's body. "Father, what have you done?" she lamented with tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked up at Selene with a grim expression on her face. "My father sacrificed himself so that you could destroy Miraak. Go, then. Kill Miraak."
"I'm sorry, Frea."
The Skaal's new shaman shook her head. "It was his choice. You have nothing to apologize for. Just do not fail in your task."
Selene picked up the Black Book, which had fallen to the ground near Storn's body, and stuffed it in her knapsack.
Fanari came over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Goodbye, Skaal-Friend. Do not worry. Storn taught Frea well, and she is a worthy guide for the Skaal."
As Selene and Brynjolf left the village, she wiped a tear from her cheek.
"It had to be done," Brynjolf said softly.
"I have spent so much time refusing to help Mora, and what did I do? The one thing I had resolved not to. And look at the cost."
"Again, you had no choice."
"I know that, but Brynjolf, I feel as though I've lost my soul."
"No, love. You've saved the world. Again. Now, where do we need to go?"
"I'll have to go back to Apocrypha, and that means I'll need to read the Black Book again. I can do that anywhere. Let's go back to Raven Rock. We can give Glover his formula and at least be somewhere comfortable when I read the book."
"Someday you'll go off to save the world and I'll be able to go with you."
"Let's just hope this is the last time I have to save it."
Back in Raven Rock, they traded a few things with Glover and gave him the bonemold formula.
"So you tracked Esmond down, eh?"
"He's dead," Brynjolf informed him.
Glover sighed. "I told him not to go up there. Some people just don't listen." He handed Brynjolf a key. "This is the key to my basement. It's my Guild stash; take whatever you want, including the gold. I'm officially retiring from the Guild, so I won't be using it anymore."
Selene took his hand. "You sound sad about that."
"I am, a little. But I know the people here, they've accepted me, and I don't feel right taking from them. I'd ask that you hold that policy as well."
"Of course, Glover." She reached up and kissed his cheek, then followed Brynjolf into the house.
The small room was loaded with poisons and gold. An enchanted sword and shield hung on the wall, and a set of Guild armor lay in a display case. It glowed green.
"That's Blackguard's armor," Brynjolf told her. "Very old and very rare."
"Brynjolf, we can't take this."
"Of course we can. We just won't sell it. We'll put it on display in the Cistern. I think Glover will like that."
A piece of paper caught Selene's eye, and she turned to see a folded note sitting on a side table. It didn't have a seal, so she opened it and read it, her eyes growing wider with every word.
She looked up at Brynjolf. "Did you know Glover was Sapphire's father?"
"What? You're kidding."
"This is a letter to her, explaining and apologizing. I'm going to take it to her."
"Surely he didn't mean for you to take the note."
"He said to take whatever we wanted, so I think he did. Besides, she deserves to know she has family. It'll be up to her what to do with the knowledge." She put the letter into a pocket in her knapsack and looked around for anything else they might want to take. They split the gold and poisons, Brynjolf took the armor, and she took the sword and shield; then they left the house, thanking Glover again as they passed him.
They went to the Retching Netch and had some dinner, then relaxed in their room. They made love as if it were the last time and then lay silently in each other's arms, although neither of them slept much.
Tomorrow was a big day; she would read the Black Book and take Miraak on at last. Selene was both terrified and excited. She had no idea how the ability to tame a dragon would help her fight Miraak, but the thought of soaring through the sky on the back of a great wyrm filled her eager anticipation. The flight on Odahviing had filled her with great joy. The other part of the quest, however, not so much.
They said she couldn't die in Apocrypha, just lose her mind, and Apocrypha wasn't so bad now that she knew its secrets. But Miraak was different. He wasn't just a Lurker or a Seeker, but she could bet he would have them on hand. But if she couldn't die, perhaps he couldn't, either. If that was so, how was she supposed to kill him? Was this just a fool's errand? An elaborate plot designed by Hermeus Mora to make her his slave? Or worse, maybe he was doing this so she would go insane as punishment for refusing him.
"Promise me something," she whispered to Brynjolf.
"If I go insane in Apocrypha, don't let me live. Keep me safe until Rowan is born, and then end it."
Anxiety flooded into his scent. "Selene, you don't know what you're asking."
"I do. That's no life for me, and it's certainly no life for you and Rowan. Promise me."
He didn't answer for a long time, and she waited, listening to his heartbeat and his breathing. He swallowed hard a couple of times as if he was trying to keep from crying. Finally, he wrapped his arms more tightly around her and sighed. "I'll do what you ask. But let's just hope it doesn't come to that."

Reblogged this on THE HARPY'S GUILD:AZURA.

The French don't go in much for luxury nor performance cars.
It's why, traditionally, even home-grown premium and sporting brands — Alpine, for instance, or latterly DS — rarely raise more than a shrug and a 'boff'.
For a French person, a car is a mundane beast of burden, something to be used and abused, rather than lionised.
Vans with windows, though? Oh yeah, that's more like it. Vans with windows are simply massif en France. In fact, they're more or less a French invention, starting with the original Renault Kangoo Kar and Citroen Berlingo Multispace of the early 2000s.
Being based on small vans, they're simple, mechanically robust, and hugely roomy. Stick in some glazing, some seats in the back, and maybe throw a half-decent stereo in the front and off you voyage dans les magasins and back.
While the French have invented the segment, it's the Anglo-Germans that currently dominate it in Ireland, with the top-two selling vehicles in the class being the Ford Tourneo Connect and the Volkswagen Caddy Life. Peugeot, with the old Partner Tepee, languished in third place.
That may be about to change, because Peugeot is replacing the old Tepee with the new Rifter. Once again, it's a Partner van with windows, but now it gets its own name, and a dash more style than the outgoing Tepee.
It's hardly an SUV, but with a bonnet that's mildly flatter you could just about squint a bit and imagine it so. While it is resolutely van-based, the fact that the Partner shares its EMP2 chassis with the likes of the 3008 and new 508 bodes well for an increase in refinement and dynamics.
Much more importantly than that, though, is the fact that the new Rifter comes with a long-wheelbase option. That's crucial — more than 95 per cent of the Tourneos and Caddys that are sold are the LWB versions, so the old Tepee was boxing above its weight, or perhaps with one hand tied behind. Peugeot Ireland reckons that, based on prior form, now that it has a long-wheelbase model, it can challenge for the top spot.
With either wheelbase, you can have the Rifter as a seven-seater (the extra seats are a €950 option) and in the long one, those extra seats slide and can be lifted out completely. Apparently, there are 48 possible seating configurations, but the most important figures are the boot volume numbers.
If you've got a bad Ikea habit, this is the car for you. Without troubling the middle-row passengers, a standard wheelbase Rifter can swallow as much as 775 litres of cargo, and that's below the luggage cover. For the long-wheelbase model, that expands to 1,050 litres, which is simply enormous.
Fold all the back seats and you can cram it with 4,000 litres worth of whatever it is you need to carry. As far as practicality goes, that's close to unbeatable.
Up front, the Rifter is entirely pleasant. It gets the Peugeot iCockpit layout with the tiny, hexagonal steering wheel and the high-set main dials, and even the most basic version gets a decent eight-inch infotainment touchscreen.
Just as a French car should, the Rifter provides you with a set of comfy, supportive front seats and if you're carrying kids in the back, then you'll love the sliding side doors which make life so much easier in tight car parks.
Power comes from a choice of petrol (1.2 litre, three-cylinder, 110hp or 130hp) or diesel (1.5 litre, 75hp, 100hp, or 130hp) engines and you can have five or six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic gearboxes.
We tried a 100hp diesel model, with the five-speed manual, and its performance could best be described as… leisurely.
Well, what did you expect? I mean, Ferrari might be building an SUV, but Peugeot is hardly going to make a GTI out of a Rifter. 0-100km/h takes 12.5secs, which is fine I guess, but only just. It cruises pretty pleasantly though, once you've let that diesel engine warm up a bit — it clatters and rattles when cold.
Overall refinement isn't great — lots of wind and tyre noise at speed — but it's better at lower speeds, and fine around town.
Handling? Well, like a kid on roller-skates, it rolls and squeals a lot, and generally doesn't enjoy corners too much, but again if you're taking it easy (and honestly; why aren't you?) it's just fine and it actually tackles lengthy motorway journeys in its stride.
That's really not the point, though. The point is climbing into that big, boxy rear body and figuring out just how many people and chattels you can cram in. Spec it up to Allure specification and you get three individual rear seats, all with Isofix child seat anchors which instantly makes this one of the most versatile family cars you can buy.
Actually, speaking of spec, the Rifter has one final joué a tout to play. Its €23,540 entry-level price. That seems fine, on the face of it. About the same money you'd spend on a basic-model conventional five-door hatchback, but here you're getting a loft conversion and a conservatory.
But wait — check out the entry-level prices for the Ford Tourneo Connect and VW Caddy Life; €29,030 and €35,010 respectively.
That gives the Peugeot an avantage gigantesque in price terms. In fact, Peugeot Ireland claims that you can buy a top-spec GT-Line Rifter, with the 100hp 1.5 diesel engine, for only €140 more than the most basic Tourneo. Quite the saving.
OK, so the Rifter isn't going to light your fire in a dynamic nor stylistic sense. It's a car that takes rationality to new extremes, expunging all sense of luxury or fashion in favour of the things that, let's face it, truly matter — space, comfort, solidity, practicality.
I can really see the appeal of that, though. If you remove all notions of badge snobbery or pretensions of luxury from your motoring, then this is an ideal car. Especially so if you own your own business, and need a car that can perform work as well as family roles, and don't fancy getting into the messy business of trying to tax a commercial van as a private car (nor get caught for not doing so correctly).
So, Peugeot is all set to dominate this segment, then? Well, perhaps not.
The Rifter has two near-identical sister cars; the Citroen Berlingo Multipsace and the Opel Combo Life, both of which share all its foibles and advantages.

How to build and diversify your music career
British cellist Gabriella Swallow shares her path to forging a unique musical identity and helps fellow musicians to think outside the box
I've had a complex relationship with music. From the age of nine I studied cello at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester and a year later I saw Gawain by Sir Harrison Birtwistle at the Royal Opera House in London. This changed me overnight, from being a kid obsessed by early music to a kid obsessed with experimental music, ideally still wet on the page. I felt very aware at the time that my musical passion was different from many of my peers; sometimes it felt like I carried a dirty secret. I loved the sound of atonal and discordant chords, which would make others nervously giggle. I liked playing my cello in unconventional ways. I would rather improvise for hours than sit and practise a Romberg cello concerto.
The idea of presenting something new to an audience for the first time has always given me a massive musical high.
After I finished studying and held junior fellowships at London's Royal College of Music, I married a successful composer and had two children by the age of 31. My circumstances changed three years ago and I began life again as a single mother †• restarting a career, which had never had time to develop or grow. My first instinct was to get a secure job in an orchestra. To think about my own musical passions at this stage felt irresponsible and indulgent now I had two under-threes at home. With the support of colleagues and friends I started to re-identify with the ten-year-old in me that had such a clear musical identity, and I began to apply this to my career.
There are three things I can share which have been essential to me as an artist who thinks outside the box.
1. Surround yourself with like-minded people
If you mix with people who think differently within their own profession, it can give you confidence in building your own career path and help you to feel less isolated. In my case it has helped hugely to collaborate with musicians who similarly blur the lines between genres; colleagues who believe it is equally wonderful to play at Ronnie Scott's with amazing jazz musicians and to play at the Wigmore with a world-class string quartet.
2. Combine your non-musical interests with your music making
If you happen to be interested in anything †• from food to poetry, art to fashion †• and can find ways to incorporate this with integrity, then go for it! There is nothing wrong with presenting music within a traditional format, but we are now lucky enough to have the choice as performers and audience members in how we deliver and receive music.
3. Truly believe in yourself
Everyone has a different route and career path, and in some cases the right timing can be key. Lack of self-confidence rather than musical ability can also hold back many. Because of the changes in my own life I now have the drive to build the career I was set up to begin 10 years ago. There is no fixed way and this itself is one of the most exciting things about life and being an artist.

Q: Convert 10 digit Julian date to DateTime I tried to convert 1368463365 which is an int field in sql server database with the following code
public static DateTime JulianToDateTime(int julianDate)
{
    int RealJulian = julianDate + 1900000;
    int year = Convert.ToInt32(RealJulian.ToString().Substring(0, 4));
    int DoY = Convert.ToInt32(RealJulian.ToString().Substring(4));
    DateTime d = new DateTime(year, 1, 1);
    return d.AddDays(DoY - 1);
}

A: Your input is not a julian date. It's a timestamp. 1368463365 refers to Mon, 13 May 2013 16:42:45 GMT.
You can use following method to get DateTime from timestamp:
public static DateTime UnixTimeStampToDateTime( int unixTimeStamp )
{
    // Unix timestamp is seconds past epoch
    System.DateTime dtDateTime = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0,0);
    dtDateTime = dtDateTime.AddSeconds( unixTimeStamp ).ToLocalTime();
    return dtDateTime;
}

A: It looks like you have a Unix timestamp there. The value 1368463365 would be equivalent with 13 May 2013 16:42:45 GMT.
A Unix timestamp is simply the number of seconds since midnight January 1st, 1970 UTC/GMT. So you can convert it to a regular DateTime like this:
public static DateTime UnixTimeToDateTime(long timestamp)
{
    var dateTime = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    dateTime = dateTime.AddSeconds((double)timestamp);
    dateTime = dateTime.ToLocalTime();  // Change GMT time to your timezone
    return dateTime;
}

Adapted from this answer. Usage:
long timestamp = 1368463365;
Console.WriteLine(UnixTimeToDateTime(timestamp));

Result (on my Dutch computer, in UTC+2):
13-5-2013 18:42:45

A: The number 1368463365 is Unix timestamp and it's number of seconds since 1/1/1970. In that case what you have to do is to just add this timestamp to DateTime representing the the date 1/1/1970 00:00:00.
Example code from another SO question:
public static DateTime UnixTimeStampToDateTime( double unixTimeStamp )
{
    // Unix timestamp is seconds past epoch
    System.DateTime dtDateTime = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0,0);
    dtDateTime = dtDateTime.AddSeconds( unixTimeStamp ).ToLocalTime();
    return dtDateTime;
}

Check this SO question for reference.
And BTW, there's a little place for mistake here, but if you want to check what date such timestamp represents, you can check it online with this converter.

A: Insofar as I know, Julian Date can mean

*

*The count of days since 1 January 4713 BCE at 12:00:00 pm (Noon) UTC in the Julian Calendar, which is 24 November 4714 BCE in the Gregorian calendar. Today 18 February 2014 is JD 2456706 (for at least part of the day.)

*The ordinal day of the year (e.g. 31 December 2013 is 2013365; 31 December 2012 is 2012366.
None of these are 10 digits. For conversion to/from the former, see http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/JD_Formula.php (your tax dollars at work...or at least my tax dollars at work).
Conversion to/from the ordinal date form should be pretty obvious:
string   julianDate       = "2014323" ; // the 323rd day of  2014
int      year             = int.Parse( julianDate.substring(0,4) ) ;
int      ordinalDayNumber = int.Parse( julianDate.substring(4,3) ) ;
DateTime dt               = new DateTime(year,1,1).AddDays( ordinalDayNumber - 1 ) ;

A: The unix time is a the number of seconds since midnight January 1, 1970 UTC.
DateTime UnixTimeToDateTime(int timestamp)
{
    return new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc).AddSeconds(timestamp);
}

Today's Timeless Tuesday challenge hostess is Maki. Her challenge is to use a Bird image and/or elements for your creation. I had recently seen the Faux Tarnished Metal technique on Shelly Hickox blog and wanted to try it out. I started by cutting Grunge paper with Tim's Mini Bird & Cage set. I used the FauxTarnished Metal technique for the cage and the Crazed Porcellain technique on the bird.
I cut a strip of MME Lost & Found 2 Blush Patterned Paper with the Mini Paper Rosette Decorative Strip Die. The Rosette was adhered to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Tear Drop Circle die and the bird and cage were adhered on top of the rosette.
A 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Rosy Patterned paper was sanded and stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Kraft cardstock. A 4 3/4″ long strip of white paper was cut with the Faux Crochet Dienamic die. A 2″ x 4 3/4″ strip of Rosy paper was sanded the Faux Crochet Strip was adhered under underneath the paper strip. The strip was adhered over the stitched layers and Ivory Organdy Ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip.
The layers were adhered to the card base, a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Solar White cardstock, folded in half. The bird layers were adhered to the left hand side with dimensional. A pennant was cut and embossed with a Nested Pennant die and stamped with images from the Birthday Pennant stamp set. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl finish the card off.
This is just beautiful! So many points of interests with the bird making a wonderful focal point. Love the bling and layers!
Great card – tons of great layers and texture!!!
Beate!!!!! what a terrific card. I have the big bird and cage but I really like what you did with the mini here on your card. also like the green background paper. Wonderful!
Someone's been having fun with her new dies, lol! LOVE this card – you always do such beautiful work. So glad you had a try at my technique!!
Such a sweet card Beate! Love the TH die cut bird and bird house!
Oh, I love this, Beate! The bird and birdcage are wonderful!
This is so pretty Beate! I love the technique you used! It gives such a cool effect for the birdcage and bird.
I love your pennant and the focal bird and cage. Gorgeous work, Beate!
Lovely card. That text print rosette is fabulous as are the bird and birdcage dies! I'm going to try to play along with this one!
Fabulous card, love the cage and bird and that gorgeous bow!
this is such a adorable card :)! you are talented with matching this!
Very elegant and so pretty!

We (at dyscalculia.me) are also responsible for the server based app called Table Fables. We created TABLE FABLES to help all kids learn their tables - but we know that kids with math learning difficulties need TABLE FABLES more than most. Read our latest Testimonials.
Thank you so much for creating such an amazing product to help children learn effortlessly.
Table Fables have been a godsend for my daughter – and indeed for me! – fun, memorable, visual narratives to really hammer home those times tables. Who knew a grumpy boomerang and a greedy snake could be so instrumental in my kid's education. Wish they'd been around in the Eighties!
Table Fables has increased the confidence of so many of the children in my Year 3 class. It's been amazing to watch the children progress with their time tables with regular Table Fable sessions. My students are now more able to solve 12 times table questions than most adults and I completely attribute this to Table Fables! The stories and characters captured their imaginations and the sessions were well organised and managed. It was a treat to participate in Table Fables sessions and I would whole heartedly recommend the program for any school.
I thought teaching maths with stories and characters was pointless as it added unnecessary complications. Yet my daughter who spent a couple of years studying the time tables with traditional methods had not yet mastered them. Then Matilda had four lessons using the Table Fables method and it has been an Epiphany. After the first lesson Matilda was excited about the stories and interested in the time tables, she wanted to be tested at every opportunity and at the end of the fourth lesson she was and remains on top of the timetables and proud of her knowledge. I am amazed how her brain has been unlocked by stories and characters in a field which one would not associate with story telling.
I cannot recommend Table Fables enough. After only 4 sessions learning the Tables Fables system, Tilly (age 7) knows all her times tables and also can do division.
Tilly loved her sessions so much that she keeps asking if she can do more. Clearly the system is fun, effective and efficient and for Tilly, who knew no times tables before her Table Fables sessions, it has been nothing short of miraculous.
I wish this system had existed when my sons were learning their times tables and avoided a year of boring flash cards.
Thank you so much Table Fables!


Thirty years ago, director Ridley Scott's film "Blade Runner" presented a dystopian vision of the future where genetically engineered robots that look like humans are hunted down by police. It was the first film that made a significant impression on Mississippi native Orian Williams, 47, putting him "On the Road" to Hollywood, where he is currently in Park City, Utah, at the Sundance Film Festival promoting his latest project.
His film, "Big Sur," based on the life of author Jack Kerouac, debuted this week at Sundance.
After graduation from Baylor University in Texas with a degree in telecommunications, Williams moved to Los Angeles.
Williams path began in Jackson, where he lived until he was 3 before moving to Texas. He spent his holidays and summers in Mississippi, and his mother eventually moved back to Madison, so it's the state he calls his home.
"My film, 'Big Sur,' has combined a lot of those aesthetics or memories that I try to implement, something that's very real, honest, emotional, tangible," he said.
Williams' interest in film grew in college when a film production crew came to town in 1988, and Williams landed a gig as the director's assistant.
The plot: Gangsters murder a man in Texas, then go after his girlfriend.
In Los Angeles, he made connections, and "Control," a 2007 biography about the life of Ian Curtis, a singer in the late-1970s English post-punk band Joy Division, was born.
"Control" won several awards at Cannes in 2007, including the Director's Fortnight, and several European awards for best film. It also won five British Independent Film Awards including Best Film. It was named Best Film at the 2007 Evening Standard British Film Awards, and writer Matt Greenhalgh was awarded for outstanding achievement in his first feature film at the 61st British Academy Film Awards.
Another film Williams helped produce that received recognition is "Shadow of the Vampire." Released in 2000 starring John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, and produced by Nicolas Cage, the film is a fictionalized account of the making of the classic vampire film "Nosferatu," in which the film crew began to suspect that their lead actor was, indeed, a real vampire. The film received two Academy Award nominations — Best Supporting Actor and Best Makeup.
Williams said he was also impressed by the movie locale.
There are several Kerouac film projects that have recently been completed, including "Big Sur." A movie adaptation of "On the Road" was completed last year. Indiewire.com reports that another another Kerouac film called "Kill Your Darlings," with an all-star cast that includes Daniel Radcliffe, Elizabeth Olsen, Ben Foster, David Cross, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Jason Leigh is getting attention.
"But one flying under the radar is Michael Polish's 'Big Sur,' " an adaptation of Jack Kerouac's famed book," indiewire.com reports.
"'Big Sur' stars Kate Bosworth, Josh Lucas and Jean-Marc Barr as Jack Kerouac. Anthony Edwards, Balthazar Getty and Henry Thomas are also featured in the film.
"It's a different take on a person who is probably becoming reinserted into the public consciousness," said Williams. "A lot of the issues Jack discusses are timely, certainly in 'Big Sur.' A lot of his emotions, his drinking, the future, people and history — I think people want to know more about that in a film. It kind of touches on all the senses.
Martha Martin, a retired sales representative, raised Williams as a single parent and has helped support her son's dreams.
"In his senior year, he got interested in acting," she said. "He was in a number of short plays and surprised everyone, including me, how well he did.
Martin attended the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards in London and walked the red carpet with her son. She also attended New York and Los Angeles film premieres and festivals in Toronto, Canada, Houston, Austin, Dallas and Jackson Crossroads.
"This is his first movie to be selected for Sundance," she said. "As you can see, I support him 100 percent because I understand his passion for making great movies that everyone will want to see.
Williams said "Big Sur" will probably be released sometime this year.


Pukka Herbs is a global producer of organic teas and supplements with a passion for working with nature's finest ethically sourced herbs. When they decided to relocate its UK headquarters to accommodate further growth, Claremont was called to design a dynamic, vibrant and flexible workspace.
Claremont's brief was to bring the Pukka brand to life and create open plan, flexible and inspirational work settings for its 130-strong team. With a clear focus on employee wellbeing and biophilic design, it was also necessary to include a combination of restorative, relaxing and playful spaces.
Claremont has created a truly on-brand workspace, using strong nature-themed creative elements and biophilic design including planters, hanging plants, a living moss wall, artificial trees and nature-themed artwork to really tie the office with the building's views of green fields and the River Avon.
The design of the office sees guests and employees enter a large communal space complete with Frövi Ilk chairs and Frövi Urban sofas, a central tea point and a creative 'island of tranquillity' wooden pod with relaxing music. This area is flanked by banks of 'think' and 'phone' pods for quiet and lone working as well as six meeting rooms, one of which has a folding wall for greater flexibility.
In addition to the open plan workspaces, the office features a Heart of Pukka room – designed for meditation and group contemplation with colourful Frövi Nuggets, a Retreat Room for mindfulness and calm and a project space for brainstorming complete with write-on walls. At the opposite end of the floorplan, a large gathering space doubles up for employee yoga sessions and company meetings.
The kitchen area features Frövi Relic dining tables and benches, which enables informal meetings, communal lunches and team relaxation. Some bespoke Pukka details have been incorporated into the design detail too – including tree trunk columns for visual interest, the use of gold finishes on selected wall manifestations, colourful tea-box-printed tiles for kitchen splashbacks and unique door handles in the kitchen. A natural colour palette has been used throughout, along with materials and textures to convey warmth.

But I'm seeing a dangerous trend in the plugin world – the paid plugin.
Now, there are a few plugins that I gladly pay for. Backup Buddy, for example, can't be beat for making automatic backups and for moving sites. Locker by Code Garage is the best at ferreting out malware and even stores entire site backups off-site on their secure server. And don't forget the plugins that handle high-level things like memberships, forums, and video streaming.
Here's where I see a problem, though. It seems the Internet marketing crowd has figured out that making a plugin for WordPress is a great way to advertise. As a plugin creator, you have the option to put ads directly into the WordPress dashboard of everyone who uses your plugin. You can ask for donations, upsell a related product, or advertise an affiliate link.
And if you charge for that plugin, you get to turn it into a revenue stream.
So what's wrong with that? Nothing at all, if you're a plugin developer who supports and maintains his or her projects. But that's not always the case.You must be logged in to see this content. Please login or become a SafeWP Member.

Will Elder
Will (Chicken Fat) Elder
Will Elder, the funniest comic book artist ever, passed away on May 15 at the age of 86. The Comics Reporter had a thorough look at Elder's career. (They also posted links to other online remembrances and more artwork.) The Comics Journal and Mark Evanier are worth checking out also. Both the New York and Los Angeles Times ran pretty good obituaries, the obvious error in the L.A. Times obit notwithstanding (a correction has been added). The picture gallery more than makes up for the flawed fact-checking.
Willie is an extremely funny natural born cartoonist. He contributed much to the feel of the early Mad. He did a lot to make Mad the kind of wild irreverent thing that it was, and I think Will's "chicken-fat" humor was very necessary to the feeling that Mad generated. As a matter of fact, Will did much to set the cartoon approach that was used for years in Mad — the details, the asides... —Harvey Kurtzman, interviewed by John Benson1.
Will Elder was the definitive Mad artist. For Harvey Kurtzman's Mad, that is, the EC comic book published from 1952-1955. There was nothing like it before and, not for lack of trying, there's been nothing like it since. As some of the obituaries suggest, when Mad is evoked to describe another zany work, like a "Naked Gun" movie, it's Elder's Mad they're talking about. Mark Frauenfelder said, "Harvey Kurtzman may have invented Mad, but for 99% of Mad's readers, it's the work of Will Elder that comes to mind when they think of the magazine."
Some lucky souls — busted-down racketty old souls by now, but lucky — were around during the short time the Mad comic was coming out new every month. Some of us, almost as busted-down and racketty, discovered it when it was already ancient history —meaning 10 or 15 years old — preserved in a few hard to find paperbacks. I found a copy of one, The Mad Reader, in a pile of cartoon paperbacks in the back of Ephraim's Books in Worcester. I'm sure that by this point I'd read somewhere that Mad had started as a comic book, but this paperback was the first chance I'd had to see it. It was the best half a buck I ever spent. Much as I'd like to say that I opened the book and had some sort of a comics epiphany, the truth is I probably wasn't quick enough to immediately see the brilliance of what I had in my hands. I was probably laughing too much to notice.
The Mad Reader had two stories each drawn by Jack Davis and by Wally Wood who, along with John Severin, were the other founding Mad artists. I was already familiar with their work from the current Mad magazine or from other comics. It also had three stories drawn by Bill Elder, who I wasn't familiar with at all.
There was "Dragged Net," a spoof, obviously, of the TV show "Dragnet."
This was drawn in Elder's own style, which might seem a stupid remark were it not for the fact that the other two stories showcased another of Elder's talents, the ability to expertly mimic other cartoonist's styles.
"Starchie" set the Archie strip in an urban high school rife with "Blackboard Jungle"-like juvenile delinquency. Elder brought a lot of the riverfront to Riverdale in a spot-on, hilarious take on the Archie house style. Frank King received somewhat gentler treatment in "Gasoline Valley," where the focus of the story was on the difficulties faced by a family of cartoon characters who posess the unusual ability to grow older.
The Mad Reader was a pretty good introduction to Will Elder's work: two completely different yet equally deft parodies of other cartoonists and a blast of pure Elder. I might have made different selections for someone's first time, but anybody that doesn't get it from these three is probably going to struggle with any of them.
All of the Mad artists worked from Harvey Kurtzman's layouts (there are some examples of this method as it was used on Humbug here.) Kurtzman's genius was evident throughout The Mad Reader, in the foundation for the artwork as well as the writing, but when he teamed up with Will Elder something special happened, something extra was added... and that something was... chicken fat.
"Chicken fat" is described as the extra jokes and business added into the backgrounds, the things that made repeat readings worthwhile. Put like that it suggests an identifiable but ultimately imitable aspect of Elder's work. The real payoff to re ading his stories again and again is discovering that everything that Elder drew was funny: people, pencil sharpeners, piles of garbage; it was all funny. I read and re-read The Mad Reader countless times, from Wood's brilliant "Superduperman" to Davis' "Lone Stranger" and I loved it all. But nothing smekked me around like Will Elder's comics did. He was my favorite. He was the best.
You know, very often at conventions somebody will rush up to me and say, "I read your work when I was young and I've wanted to meet you and shake your hand." After some years of being exposed to this kind of flattery I realize that when something touches you at an early age, it really leaves an indelible mark. That's the only way I can explain the enthusiasm of these fans when they meet me. I've done something to them at an early age. It's not imprtant that what I did is of little consequence, but that the stain runs deep. That's what's significant. What they think is much is not so much, but it's the way they've been touched that makes it into something important. But it's not really important. —Harvey Kurtzman, interviewed by John Benson2.
Or, put another way:
One Sunday in October of 1974 I bused over to the Booklyn Museum for an exhibition called "Brooklyn's Comic Book Artists". This was, it was claimed, the first time comic book art had hung in a museum and that alone probably would have been reason enough to go look. But the list of artists included in the show, even restricted as it was to those who were Brooklyn-born or -raised, made this an absolute must-see event: there were 13 in all, among them Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Gil Kane, Carmine Infantino, Gray Morrow, Neal Adams, Will Eisner and Harvey Kurtzman.
From Playboy, June, 1973.
Kurtzman exhibited this Little Annie Fanny story. Though Elder's name was on the artwork, the label on the wall credited only Kurtzman, which I thought was odd. I remember spending a lot of time in front of these pages, absorbed in each panel, probably a lot like this guy, only not so tidy. After a while I was approached by a kid roughly my age, though probably still in high school, who very nicely asked if I wouldn't mind stepping back for just a minute. I did and then turned to see what looked like a typical suburban family on a typical Sunday outing, except the typical suburban dad was now taking snapshots of Playboy cartoons hanging on a museum wall. As I recall — or, more likely, embellish — more snaps were taken of family members posing by the pages. This, I thought, has got to be him.
"I wonder," I wondered out loud to the nice kid, "why they left the other artist's name off the wall?"
"I don't know." He turned to the man taking pictures. "Hey, Dad, he wants to know how come they left your name off?"
"I'm from the Bronx," he said.
Yep, it was him all right. Will Elder standing right over there. There must have been a million things I wanted to say and questions I wanted to ask but I couldn't think of a single one of them at the moment. Instead, I talk with the kid. I won't even pretend I can recall how that conversation went. All I remember is that he said his name was Marty and that he wanted to be a disc jockey, which made an impression because that was how my father earned his living. "Let's trade dads," I suggested.
Eventually he took me over to meet his dad. Mr. Elder was now looking at someone else's artwork. I'm standing next to an actual idol of mine. My mind has gone blank. I don't know what to say. I'm a complete moron. Luckily, Marty wasn't so overwhelmed. "Dad, this is Steve. He wants to be a cartoonist."
Will Elder gave me a quick glance and then turned back to the artwork.
"Well," he said, "If that's all you can do..."
OK, OK, I get it, already. Sheesh! This stuff isn't important. I know. I was just deeply stained at an early age, otherwise I'd know how insignificant it all is.
Bullshit. Fifty years after it first appeared this stuff is still funny. It still makes me laugh anyway.That's not important?
1, 2. The interview of Harvey Kurtzman by John Benson, September 7, 1985,was conducted especially for publication in the 4 volume set of the complete Mad, published by Russ Cochran, 1987.
Thanks to Tom for the Annie scans, and to Jim for bringing the sad news to my attention in the first place. Also, heartfelt condolences and very, very belated thanks to Martin Elder.

How I Spent My Summer


Deep dish pizza originated in Chicago with pizzerias Lou Malnati's, Pizza Uno, Gino's East, and Giordano's having made a name for themselves making some of the best deep dish pizzas around. Deep dish pizza is characterized as being baked in a deep dish pan and having a very thick flaky/buttery crust.
The cheese is often layered just above the dough and the sauce is layered on top of that so that the cheese can prevent the sauce from making the crust soggy. Eating a slice would require the use of a fork and knife.
I can tell you that I'm more of a New York-style thin crust pizza kind of a guy than someone who prefers the Chicago Deep Dish variety. Just because I prefer New York's thin crust pizza, it doesn't mean that I cannot enjoy Chicago's version as well. The way I see it, I can have the best of both worlds in this tale of two pizzas.
If I'm not having a pizza delivered to my door, I'm almost always heating a frozen pizza instead. Also, I noticed that Chicago deep dish pizzas are quite pricey which really doesn't surprise me. After all, there's just so much pizza you're getting in each pie. I never thought about making my own pizza when I happened to catch this episode of America's Test Kitchen (season 11 episode 19: Deep Dish Pizza) where they were making Chicago-style Deep Dish Pizza. I decided to make this because the video shows just how easy it is to make your own dough - I never knew it was that simple to do. I was always under the impression that bread baking and making your own dough from scratch was such a complicated process meant for the professionals, but it really isn't.
After taking the 2 deep dish pizzas out of the oven and letting it rest, I saw how crisp the crust was. The crust had a nice, buttery taste which added to the heartiness of each slice, and there certainly isn't a shortage of melted cheese. You can get full really fast after eating only a couple of slices. I've already made this recipe a few times and it's a great dish that kids will love.
I used 2 9-inch diameter cake pans to bake the pizzas in. I'd prefer to use say a larger cake pan (say a 10 inch diameter) instead since there seemed to be too much dough making the pizza crust too thick. That or I would lessen the amount of flour and make less of the dough.
The recipe says to use 4 tbsp of butter to spread on the flattened dough. I think 3 tbsp is enough and would still do the job.
I prepared the accompanying pizza sauce where you cook down some canned crushed tomatoes after you saute some grated onion. I found the preparation of this sauce to be too labor intensive: grating the onion and cooking down the sauce. And I found the sauce to be too acidic after cooking it down. I instead used the pizza sauce recipe from America's Test Kitchen New York style thin crust pizza (season 12 episode 8: New York-style Pizza at Home) where they get a can of whole peeled tomatoes, drain, puree, and leave it uncooked. I watched a tv show on Chicago deep dish pizza (I think it was Throwdown with Bobby Flay) and I vaguely recall Marc Malnati (from Lou Malnati's pizzeria in Chicago and Lou's son) mentioning that the sauce is always uncooked before going into the oven - that's straight from the expert himself! In addition to the sauce, I added some fresh chopped basil. I found that this pizza sauce gave a fresher taste and wasn't too thick and acidic after trying the original pizza sauce that went with this recipe.
I also added more toppings just because that's the way I like my pizzas to be. I added green bell peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni, and onions (I'm not a big fan of olives). I microwaved the pepperoni on top of a paper towel so that the oil from the pepperoni can be released before putting it on my pizza pie. Sometimes I add bits of uncooked Italian sausage and when I do, I don't go overboard with it because Italian sausage has that distinct "medicine" flavor due to the fennel seeds.
As previously mentioned, the cheese is layered on top of the dough and then the sauce is added on top of the cheese. I add the veggies (onions, green peppers, mushrooms) on top of the sauce because they tend to have a lot of water and being on top allows them to properly cook through. I put the pepperoni in between the sauce and cheese because that's how Chicago pizzerias do it. The sausage would normally be put here too but I put it up top since I'm putting raw sausage on my pie, so just like the veggies, I'd like the Italian sausage to be fully cooked as well.
Sometimes rolling out the dough using a rolling pin works like they do in the video below. However, there are times when my dough is too wet such that the dough sticks to the rolling pin and/or my rolling surface and I could'nt separate it once it started sticking. I've messed up doughs this way that I had to just discard the dough and cut my losses. As a personal preference, I use my hands in the proper pizza making technique where the dough is draped on your knuckles and you stretch out the dough instead. Luckily, this dough is not so sticky that it'd stick to your hands. To me this method is easier than rolling the dough using a rolling pin.
Handle the dough with slightly oiled hands, or it might stick.
2. Using fingers, coat large bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil, rubbing excess oil from fingers onto blade of rubber spatula. Using oiled spatula, transfer dough to bowl, turning once to oil top; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until nearly doubled in volume, 45 to 60 minutes.
4. TO LAMINATE THE DOUGH: Adjust oven rack to lower position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Using rubber spatula, turn dough out onto dry work surface and roll into 15- by 12-inch rec-tangle. Using offset spatula, spread softened butter over surface of dough, leaving 1/2-inch border along edges. Starting at short end, roll dough into tight cylinder. With seam side down, flatten cylinder into 18- by 4-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle in half crosswise. Working with 1 half, fold into thirds like business letter; pinch seams together to form ball. Repeat with remaining half. Return balls to oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise in refrigerator until nearly doubled in volume, 40 to 50 minutes.
6. For each pizza, sprinkle 2 cups mozzarella evenly over surface of dough. Spread 1 1/4 cups tomato sauce over cheese and sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan over sauce. Bake until crust is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes [I used the full 30 min since a massive Chicago deep dish pizza needs time to cook]. Remove pizza from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
I made these today, and they came out great! We're not big on chunky sauce, so I put the sauce in the blender to make it smooth before adding basil/olive oil. Living in Chicago for awhile, I've had my share of Chicago-style pizza, and they actually do have a buttery, flaky crust...a bit different than a standard pizza crust. I took your advice and only spread 3 tbsp of butter onto the dough. Next time, I'll use the recommended 4 tbsp. Took a bit of time to make, but definitely worth the effort!
@Robin, that's great that your deep dish pizzas came out well. As a person who has lived in Chicago, you'd know what good deep dish pizza should taste like. It's been awhile since I've had a deep dish pizza from a restaurant since I've found this recipe. I usually make 2 pizzas at a time, but if I'm having a gathering at my house, doubling the recipe to get 4 pizzas is easy enough to do and seems to make my guests happy.
I use this recipe in my classroom and it is a great hit. They all wait for this food lab. I follow the recipe as it is written.
Hi @Anonymous, I'm glad that your class likes it when you make them Chicago style deep dish pizza from America's Test Kitchen. It's definitely great when you have to feed several people. This recipe is always popular among my family as well. What I liked about this recipe is that it's way easier making pizza in a pan versus the traditional way of baking a pizza on a baking stone (I always have issues with the dough sticking to the pizza peel and sliding it over to the stone). Not only that, but it introduced me to bread baking since I didn't realize that making your own dough wasn't that difficult at all.
Have you ever the dough a day or two before you need it? Have you ever froze your dough?
Hello @Sherri, whenever I make the dough for America's Test Kitchen's recipe for deep dish pizza, I always make it the day before. I do keep it in the refrigerator overnight, but I've never put it in the freezer.

Kryostripping ist ein Verfahren zur Behandlung von Krampfadern.

Es ist ein modernes und schonendes Operationsverfahren zur Sanierung einer Stammvenenerkrankung der Vena saphena magna (VSM) oder Vena saphena parva (VSP), mit dem sehr gute kosmetische Ergebnisse erzielt werden, da die Stammvene ohne Schnitte am Bein entfernt wird. Lediglich in der Leiste erfolgt für die Krossektomie ein Schnitt. Die erkrankte Stammvene wird mit Hilfe einer Kältesonde, die an der Spitze mit flüssigem Stickstoff gekühlt ist, aufgefädelt und fest gefroren. Sie kann dann innerhalb von Sekunden komplett herausgezogen werden. Somit verkürzt sich die Operationszeit gegenüber den Standardverfahren und eine vollständige Entfernung ist sichergestellt, was die Gefahr von Rezidiven (Neubildungen) verringert.
