Oh how I've missed pot stickers. Back in the day, David and I ordered them so often — along with Szechuan string beans and lemon chicken — from Dim Sum Bar in San Francisco that when I gave our delivery address they would recite back our usual order. (Seriously, it was all too reminiscent of Miranda's experience with the Chinese takeout girl in Sex and the City, fortunately minus the laughter.)
The most time-consuming part is making the wrappers from scratch, but the recipe itself is quite foolproof. Whether you work the dough for a short amount of time or for longer (to make them extra smooth, like their wheat-based counterparts), they will remain moist and pliable enough to form into dumplings. I experimented with a lot of different folding methods, some quite "creative" (the early, poorly photographed, silly-looking attempts can be seen on the Facebook page for A Sage Amalgam). Most recently, though, I found that the classic technique illustrated by Saveur Magazine was by far the easiest, most attractive option. However, I won't judge you if you prefer to use a Dumpling Maker, it can help to speed things up a bit.
An electric pasta roller is one gadget that I wholeheartedly recommend if you want to make your [dumpling-making] life easier. I use the KitchenAid Pasta Sheet Roller Attachment (available from Chefs Catalog, Amazon, Bed Bath and Beyond); the model I purchased (KPSA) does not include any of the pasta cutting accessories, and set me back $60 (from Chefs Catalog through Amazon) two years ago. If you prefer to roll them out by hand, the Joseph Joseph Adjustable Rolling Pin is really helpful for achieving consistently thin wrappers (it includes disks for 1/16″ thick dough, which is just about what you're looking for) — it's just a lot of work make them this way.
Stay tuned for my favorite dipping sauce to serve with these tasty morsels (psst, it's Chili-Scallion Oil). Hope you enjoy 'em as much as we do!
Pork-Scallion Pot Stickers with Homemade Wrappers
Food and Wine, wrappers and cooking method my own)(filling adapted from
Preparation Time: 2 1/2 – 3 hours
Cooking Time: About 8 minutes fresh, 10 minutes from freezer (plus frying time)
Makes: 4 – 4 1/2 dozen
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (from about 2) finely grated dried shiitake mushrooms¹
- 10 grams (2 teaspoons) minced garlic
- 10 grams (2 teaspoons) minced fresh ginger
- 14 grams (1 tablespoon) untoasted sesame oil
- 14 grams (1 tablespoon) gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 113 grams (4 ounces or 1 cup, packed) whole Napa cabbage leaves (do not remove white rib), very finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (from about 5) quartered and thinly sliced scallions (light, medium and dark green parts)
- 1/2 pound (227 grams or 8 ounces) ground pork
- 120 grams (1 cup) millet flour, plus more for rolling
- 120 grams (1 cup) garbanzo-fava flour
- 96 grams (1/2 cup) potato starch
- 64 grams (1/2 cup) arrowroot starch
- 20 grams (2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon) xanthan gum
- 312 grams (11 ounces or 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons) boiling water
For Frying and Serving:
- Peanut or grapeseed oil
- Chili-scallion oil (spicy)
- Plum sauce² (sweet, sour)
- Gluten-free soy sauce (tangy)
Make Filling:
In a medium bowl, stir together mushrooms through black pepper. Stir in cabbage and scallions, coating evenly with soy sauce mixture (like you're making a cole slaw). Add pork, and use a fork to mix together just until combined. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate while making the wrappers.
DO AHEAD: Filling can be made up to two days before making wrappers and assembling pot stickers.
Make Wrappers:
When you're ready to fill the potstickers, make the pot sticker wrappers. Whisk together millet flour through xanthan gum in the bowl of a stand mixer; fit mixer with the paddle attachement. Set machine on low and pour in boiling water. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Scrape dough onto a clean, millet-floured counter (from now on when I say flour I mean millet, ok?). (The dough should be cooled enough to be handled after mixing, but if you find it too warm, let it sit, covered by a moist towel for several minutes.) Knead dough to combine into one lump (it will not be very smooth looking at this point). Work with about 1/4 of the dough at a time, cover the rest with a moist towel. On a floured surface (use as little as possible to prevent sticking), roll dough out til it's about 3″ wide and 1/8″ inch thick, length will vary (if you're rolling out by hand, keep rolling until dough is about 4″ wide and 1/16″ thick, and go ahead and skip the next paragraph).
Using the pasta roller on the widest setting (#1), sprinkle dough liberally with flour, run dough through (it may tear a bunch, but that's ok, it's gonna go through the machine a few more times). Fold dough over in thirds (so it's still only about 3″ wide), use the pin to roll it out to 1/8″ again, sprinkle with more flour and run through the pasta machine on the widest setting again. Adjust width-setting of the machine to the next thinness (#2). Dust with additional flour (if it feels sticky), and run dough through, it will be about 1/16″ thick.
Cut wrappers using a 3 1/2″ round cookie cutter; stack on a large piece of plastic wrap, fold it over the top to keep them from drying out while the other wrappers are made. (I usually stack about half of the wrappers together, then start a second pack — no leaning towers of pot sticker wrappers for me!) Re-roll scraps (if you have enough) or knead them into another quarter of the dough; repeat rolling and cutting process.
Form Pot Stickers:
For a visual guide, see these handy illustrations by Saveur. Line a freezer-safe platter or rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap; set aside. Set out about 6 wrappers, moisten just the edges using your finger with a tiny bit of water. Place a packed TEASPOON (it doesn't need to be level, but it shouldn't be overly heaping) in the center of the wrapper. Fold wrapper over dough (it will look like a crunchy taco), pinch just the center together. Start on one side, about 1/3 over from where the center is pinched together, pull dough on the side facing you to the center, and pinch it to stick. You basically make a little cone shape then fold it over to the center — only one side of the potsticker will have the fancy pleats, the back remains fairly flat. Do the same thing to close up the side you're working on; repeat with the other half. Place dumpling on plastic wrap-lined pan, press down lightly so it will stand up on its bottom. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Once all pot stickers are formed, proceed to cooking or place pan in the freezer. Completely freeze dumplings on pan before transferring to a freezer bag or freezer storage containers. Will keep frozen for 2 – 3 months, cook directly from frozen.
Steam, Fry and Serve Pot Stickers:
Fill a large pot fitted with a metal steamer basket with water (just under the bottom of the basket). Set pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, carefully place potstickers in a single layer on the basket (they can touch a little, you'll have to cook them in multiple batches). Cover top of the pot with a clean towel, place lid over top (towel has a dual purpose: keeps the potstickers from getting too wet, prevents the lid from rattling annoyingly). Steam fresh dumplings for about 8 minutes and frozen for 10 minutes, or until pork reaches at least 155°F. While dumplings steam, preheat sauté pan/frying pan/skillet over medium heat; add about 1 tablespoon (just enough to form a thin film) of oil to the pan. Once dumplings have finished steaming, remove from steamer basket (you may need to gently wiggle them to get them off) and fry bottoms in the hot oil, just until golden brown (if using a non-nonstick pan, they will detach with a gentle wiggle once cooked, all is not lost!). Serve immediately with desired dipping sauces.

German Zimtsterne (cinnamon almond cookies)
I always wanted to make these, and finally got the guts — oh boy, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of nitty-gritty with making these. I started with original German recipe that called for 500g of almonds, but that ended up being 2 full baking sheets and lots of sneaky snacking between steps ;-) But the result is good, and these cookies are worth the effort.
Orange cheese-tart
I didn't plan to make this cake at all, what I did plan was apple tart with apricot jelly... Well, sometimes I just change my mind, especially while experimenting in the kitchen :-) The result is interesting, refreshing and citrusy! :-) If you don't like the strong orange aroma, you can replace them with any soft and sweet fruit: peaches, pears, and apricots should do fine!
Teriyaki salmon bento
I think life is too short to keep the frozen salmon in the fridge! :-) So I made a teriyaki salmon bento, which was so fast to cook, that I had too much idle time in the morning... Just be careful not to overcook the teriyaki sauce, because it may have a burnt taste. Also, optional lotus root slices will keep the fish tender and juicy for the time when you can finally devour every last bit of it ;-)
Marinated beef and pasta bento
Bento is not only rice, but also other ingredients, like... pasta. This recipe came to life when I had some uncooked beef left-overs and just wondered what to do with them. Cooking them as a part of bento was a great idea!
Sweet Mustard Eggs Bento
I got tired of sausages after yesterday's deluxe bento, so today I decided to have some eggs with lunch. I put some sweet mustard over the cooked yolk to have them pack some punch and they were really interesting!
I prepared also hand-made furikake (rice sprinkles) with ingredients I like, which made my rice extra tasty today!

North Bethesda, MD, August 15, 2013 - LibLime, a division of PTFS, and WALDO (Westchester Academic Library Directors Organization) collaborated to present the Fourth Annual Academic Koha User Conference on August 5th and 6th. Over fifty attendees from 22 Academic Koha institutions participated in a review of the past year's development successes and to map out the upcoming year's development path.
The group reviewed over thirty-eight development projects completed in the past year, including the replacement of the Zebra search engine with Solr, the creation of foundational authority control, the expansion of local control over OPAC & staff search screens, and support for RDA.
Breakout sessions identified development priorities for future work relating to OPAC, Cataloging, and Circulation.
On day two, members of the LibLime Development Team (Clay Fouts and Ryan Higgins) presented live demonstrations of several new development projects that are nearing completion. These presentations included expansion of the GetIt acquisitions module to include standing orders, order notifications, & browser-agnostic access; the creation of a Restful API in Academic Koha; and enhanced authority control to support merging authorities.
Concepts for building on the new API capability to expand the reach of Academic Koha into new areas were also presented for consideration.

It's been a little over one year since Canada scrapped the penny for good and we all had just a little bit less change rattling around in our pockets.
Since that fortuitous day when we stopped getting copper in our change, though, some of us have had that inkling in the back of our minds that we might be leaving more money behind than we're gaining. Are retailers winning the penny war? Or are consumers?
Who wins over the long term when we round our cash purchases to the nearest nickel?
One Quebecer decided to track it and actually find out. Roger Guitar has written letters to the editor to several newspapers to let them know that he tracked every one of his cash purchases for 1 year, from April to May, and found out that he came out ahead of the game: By 89-cents!
Well done, Roger.
But that struck us as a little odd. Whether a purchase comes out in favour of the retailer or the consumer depends on at least two very important factors: The original sticker price, and the level of sales tax in the province.
So we did the math. Here's what happened. You can see whether you're taking pennies or leaving pennies on the table, price point by price point, depending on which province you live in and their tax rate in the chart below.
The chart tracks 30 common price points that people would normally consider paying cash for. It then applies the sales tax for each province and figures out how many pennies are being left behind or taken with you.
The magic price point for consumers is $14.97. At that sticker price, everyone across Canada paying with cash takes home an extra two cents. On the other end of the spectrum, $34.98 means almost everyone in Canada (with the exception of Quebec) leave two cents on table.
The bad news: If you buy one thing at each price point in our test list, you're losing out in the long game. To win, pick your prices wisely.
Not everyone his happy about the death of the penny and all this added confusion, of course. Newfoundland singer-songwriter Liam Peacock penned this lament to the now-lost penny.

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- The latest development news, culled from recent wire reports:
Looking to keep track of all the various projects in development? Click here to visit our newly branded "Devwatch" section. There visitors can view our listings by network, genre, studio and even development stage (ordered to pilot, cast-contingent, script, etc.). It's updated every day!
BEN (NBC, New!) - Actor/writer Steve Coogan ("I'm Alan Partridge") and his producing partner Henry Normal have inked a two-year development deal with NBC Universal Television. The pact will give the studio access to their company Baby Cow's existing library of comedy series - which includes "The Mighty Boosh," "Hurrah for Cancer" and "Saxondale" - as well as first crack on any future development during the period. Already in the works is a half-hour comedy from writer Alex Spiro entitled "Ben," about the richest man in the world. Robb and Mark Cullen ("Heist") are already on board to direct the pilot, which is set up at NBC.
BIANCA (Lifetime) - Rachel Ward, Shirley Jones, Simon Rex, Kieran Hutchinson, Stephen Martines, Vanessa Lengies, Samantha Shelton and Matt Funke have all joined the cast of the telenovela, which stars Virginia Williams as a woman who has to begin life anew after being wrongly accused for murder. Production is set to begin next month on the Gold Coast of Australia on the FremantleMedia North America-based project, which is set to air on Saturday nights at 10:00/9:00c starting October 14.
CABLE RATINGS ROUND-UP (Week of July 3-9) - The premiere of USA's "Psych" (6.06 million viewers; 1.9/6 in adults 18-49) emerged as cable's top draw last week, beating out TNT's "The Closer" (5.3 million, #2). The return of "Monk" (5.09 million, #4; 1.4/5 in adults 18-49) also fared well, but was off a noticeable 20.47% from its bow last summer (6.4 million on 7/8/05). Rounding out the top 15: USA's Sunday night entries "The 4,400" (3.3 million, #11) and "The Dead Zone" (3.0 million, #15) as well the premiere of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" (3.1 million, #14) on HBO. Outside the top 15, the return of Comedy Central's "Chappelle's Show" drew 2.57 million viewers (1.4/4 in adults 18-49) while fellow Sunday series "Mind of Mencia" posted 2.37 million (1.3/4 in adults 18-49) and "Reno 911" snagged 1.8 million. Over on Spike TV, newcomers "The Dudesons" (971,000 viewers) and "Raising the Roofs" (688,000) opened to lackluster numbers while week two of "Blade: The Series" (1.3 million) lost nearly half its premiere's audience. Also taking a dip in week two: ABC Family's "Kyle XY" which tumbled from 2.6 million to 1.5 million however its rebroadcast on ABC help up with 4.9 million viewers tuning in vs. 5.2 million the week prior. Finally, MTV's July 7 installment of "The Hills" was cable's top telecast for the week among adults 18-34 (2.3/7) and was the #5 show on all of television last week among women 18-34 (3.6/11).
GREY'S ANATOMY (ABC) - Cable channels Oxygen and TNT are said to be closing to landing the shared off-network rights to the smash hit ABC drama from Buena Vista Television. The pact, likely valued north of $1 million per episode, would give Oxygen the primetime rights (after 6 p.m. eastern) and TNT the daytime rights (before 6 p.m. eastern). Because of the preferred window, Oxygen is expected to pay the bulk of the license fee - around $700,000 - which would also include a second window to repurpose the show's current airing. Once the deal is finalized, Oxygen is expected to begin airing once-a-week repeats as early as January with the five-night-a-week component kicking in during 2009. It's not clear if Buena Vista also plans to sell weekend repeats to local stations, or if the off-network run will be exclusive to said cable channels.
HOUSE (FOX) - Star Hugh Laurie has reportedly received a pay bump into the $275,000-$300,000 per episode range, up from his current mid-five figure salary. The actor had been working to renegotiate his contract with producer NBC Universal Television for the past two months. In addition to the new salary (partially funded by FOX itself), Laurie will also receive a small stake in the backend of "House" as well as extend his current contract (believed to be six years) for an additional year.
JUDGE MARIA LOPEZ (Syndication) - Sony Pictures Television has cleared the freshman series in all 210 markets or 100% of the country. The news marks the distributor's second full clearance this season, the first being the off-cable run of "The Shield." "Lopez" bows on Monday, September 11 with production set to begin on August 1 in New York.
LIFETIME ORIGINAL MOVIES (Lifetime) - The cable channel plans to produce some 60 original movies this year, providing details on several upcoming projects during its session at the TCA Summer Press Tour.

THE LISA WILLIAMS PROJECT (Lifetime, New!) - British clairvoyant Lisa Williams is set to be the focus of a new reality series at the cable channel. Said project, which comes from Merv Griffin Entertainment, will follow the psychic as she talks with people around the country, relays messages from the dead, resolves misunderstandings and helps out with everyday problems. The network has given a six-episode commitment to the hour, which is expected to be paired with the off-network run of NBC's "Medium" on Sunday nights this fall.
NIP/TUCK (FX) - Sales materials issued by the network indicate it has bumped up the show's fourth season premiere to Tuesday, September 5 at 10:00/9:00c. The new season will once again run 15 episodes with the finale set for Tuesday, December 12.
OUT OF PRACTICE (CBS) - Veteran showrunners Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd have banded together to sign a three-year, mid-seven-figure overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television.

Santana, Royals break off win against Tigers
Right-hander goes 7 1/3 scoreless; KC now 4-2 in season series
KANSAS CITY -- Maybe you heard about the city of Detroit going bankrupt. Who figured their mighty Tigers would be looking at a bunch of zeros as well?
Yet that was the bottom line as Kansas City right-hander Ervin Santana, with able relief help, held the first-place Tigers to two hits in a 1-0 victory on Friday night at Kauffman Stadium. For the Royals, who slogged into the All-Star break with five straight losses, the win was a great tonic as 35,000 fans welcomed them home.
Billy Butler, who drove in the game's only run, summed up the game succinctly: "Pitchers' duel -- old-fashioned."
Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez was touched only in the first inning. Alex Gordon got a single on a hot shot through second baseman Ramon Santiago, stole second base and scored on Butler's ground single into left field.
"With Anibal it's good to get a run off him right away," Gordon said. "He's a great pitcher and he mixes it up a lot, and we hit the ball well against him. Even though we only scored one run, we left a lot of guys on and had some good at-bats against him."
Sanchez, in splitting decisions in two starts against KC last year, gave up just one run in 16 innings. So he's a tough customer. But Santana was tougher.
"You can't say enough good things -- to hold a team like that down to no runs, you don't come into a game like that expecting to shut those guys out," Butler said. "It's not usually going to happen."
Santana retired the first 10 Tigers he faced before Torii Hunter lined a single into right field in the fourth inning.
"I watched the first three innings on TV and I really thought he had a shot at throwing a no-hitter the way he was throwing the ball," said closer Greg Holland. "I didn't want to mention it to anybody."
The Tigers' only other hit was Andy Dirks' single up the middle with two outs in the fifth. He tried to steal second and was thrown out by catcher Salvador Perez's perfect peg to shortstop Alcides Escobar.
Santana was lifted after a one-out walk and 106 pitches in the eighth. He left the mound to a standing ovation and waved his cap to the fans.
"That was a very good moment," Santana said.
Manager Ned Yost was quick to move after his starter issued his only walk.
"I'm not letting him lose," Yost said. "I mean, we're in the eighth inning, I've got a bullpen that's had four days' rest and I'm going to the bullpen."
Kelvin Herrera, recalled from the Minors on Friday, took over and got the last two outs, throwing 100 mph fastballs in the process. Holland, fresh from the All-Star Game, pitched a perfect ninth to record his 23rd save.
Santana was the beneficiary of superlative catches by center fielder Lorenzo Cain. He leaped backward into the wall for Hunter's smash in the first inning. He raced through the warning track to catch Victor Martinez's drive and smacked into the wall in the fifth. Cain also went to the wall for Miguel Cabrera's home-run bid in the seventh.
"He played some good defense. That saved them three doubles," Hunter said.
"Oh, man, he was working today," Santana said. "He made great catches."
Cain's legs were poetry in motion as those deep drives took off.
"I got great jumps on them, read them great off the bat and was able to make some plays," Cain said. "Ervin did an outstanding job today, so for me to go make some plays for him was great."
This was the 56th 1-0 victory in Royals history and their second this year. It was also the fourth one-run game they've played against the Tigers this season and they've won three of them.
"This could've easily been a 4-0 game," Yost said. "Gordy smoked a ball right at Prince Fielder with runners at second and third. And David Lough smoked a ball right at the second baseman with a runner on third."
Also, the Royals loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth, but couldn't take advantage of a big break. Butler's single and Mike Moustakas' walk and two outs preceded Sanchez's wild pitch that put both runners in scoring position. Lough walked to load the bases.
Escobar fouled off a 2-0 pitch, but catcher Alex Avila dropped the popup as he approached the Royals' dugout for an error. The count went full on Escobar before Sanchez struck him out to squelch the threat.
Sanchez, in six innings, gave up four hits but walked five to give the Royals extra opportunities.
"I feel good because I kept the score right there," he said. "We have to give credit to Santana. He threw a good ballgame, there's no question about it."
Unquestionably, this was a game the Royals needed.
"[The Tigers are] arguably the class of our [American League Central] division. They went to the World Series last year," Yost said. "I think that last year, we were probably five or six steps behind them and I think we're a step behind them or right with them this year. The problem is that at times we can be a bit inconsistent. [Ten] days ago we were one game under .500, looking to get on a run, and ended up losing five in a row. But going into the break, these kids knew they've still got their best baseball to play ahead of them and we started out the second half real nice."
The Royals are now seven games behind Detroit and have beaten the Tigers in four of their six meetings so far.
"If you want to get into the playoffs, you have to beat the Tigers and I think everyone knows that," Holland said.
Their city may be broke, but the Tigers are rich in talent. Everyone knows that, too.

OAK BROOK, Ill. Based on data from a multi-site imaging trial involving more than 2,600 women, researchers say breast lesions categorized as 'probably benign' on supplemental screening ultrasound could be re-evaluated with imaging in 12 months, reducing patient anxiety, follow-up exams and unnecessary biopsies. Results of the study are published online in the journal Radiology.
In the study, a team of researchers analyzed data from the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) trial 6666, in which both annual mammography and ultrasound screenings were performed on women with dense breasts at 21 sites around the country. Ultrasound is increasingly being used as a supplement to screening mammography because it is able to detect breast cancers that may not be visible with mammography, especially in dense breasts.
"Supplemental ultrasound screening increases cancer detection beyond mammography alone, but may also result in an increased number of additional tests," said lead researcher Richard G. Barr, M.D., Ph.D., professor of radiology at the Northeast Ohio Medical University in Youngstown, Ohio. "Both screening ultrasound and screening mammography have similar issues: to find breast cancers, a large number of biopsies must be performed, most of which turn out to be negative."
Dr. Barr and colleagues analyzed the trial's ultrasound-detected lesions assessed as probably benign or category 3 of the Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), a standardized system of assessing breast lesions and their probability of malignancy based on appearance, to determine the prevalence and malignancy rate of these lesions.
Guidelines suggest that BI-RADS 3 lesions should be monitored for suspicious changes with additional imaging at intervals of six, 12 and 24 months.
"BI-RADS 3 lesions are common on screening ultrasound and often lead to unnecessary biopsies and additional imaging, causing substantial cost and anxiety for patients," Dr. Barr said. "We wanted to study these BI-RADS 3 lesions to look for ways to perform fewer biopsies without missing breast cancers."
The researchers analyzed the screening ultrasound exams and follow-up data of 2,662 trial participants recruited between 2004 and 2006. Of the 2,662 women, 519 had a total of 745 BI-RADS 3 lesions, representing 25 percent of all ultrasound-detected lesions in the study.
Of the 745 BI-RADS 3 lesions, six were malignant for a total malignancy rate of 0.8 percent. The average size of the detected cancers among the BI-RADS 3 lesions was 10 millimeters.
During six-month follow-up imaging, suspicious changes were observed in only one of the 745 BI-RADS 3 lesions. At 12-month follow-up imaging, suspicious changes were observed in a second BI-RADS 3 lesion, revealing an invasive breast cancer that had not yet spread beyond the breast.
"As a result of the low malignancy rate of BI-RADS 3 lesions and the low rate of suspicious changes at six-month follow-up imaging, yearly follow-up for these lesions may be appropriate," Dr. Barr said. "The cancers detected due to changes at one year had not spread beyond the breast, with similar prognosis if the lesion was biopsied on initial detection."
Dr. Barr said extending the follow-up imaging interval from six to 12 months for BI-RADS 3 lesions detected by screening ultrasound would substantially decrease the number of follow-up examinations and biopsies performed.
The researchers also found that women in the study with BI-RADS 3 lesions were more likely to be younger than 50 years of age, of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity and pre-menopausal.
Dr. Barr is currently conducting additional studies on ultrasound screening and research on the use of elastography, an advanced technique that helps distinguish benign from cancerous lesions.

Hey, that's pretty good.
Whatya use to make it?
Thanks, I always have loved music, I am a drummer and play many other instruments, so I know some good beats. =D.
Wow, I only play 1 instrument. (The Clarinet)
I need to download FL Studio lol.
I used the demo version, but the issue is, the real version is very expensive, but my brother has it, so that is why I decided to look at it.
I use Audacity. It lets you edit music instead of build it, and it is also a good music file converter.
I have Audacity too, I do like it as well. =D
Nice job man! I wish I could make music like that. =DWhat instruments can you play? I can only play the piano.
Thanks all.I can play the oboe, drumset, violin, piano, bass guitar, and a few other simpler things that I cannot think of at the moment. XD

Best answer to the question why Paul Ryan — and not Biden (or Obama or Romney) — drank water during the debate. I had 5 suggested answers in my poll:
But the commenters — both in my post here and over at the poll site — came up with some funny answers:
"Hey — you think you're the only one playing a drinking-game during that debate!?"And thanks as well to those who said things like:
"Drinking water helped him keep his cool and avoid beating the shit out of that smug asshole Biden."
"Heat generated by combination of Biden's gusty pizza cheese-smelling sighs and the dazzling white-hot glare from Biden's fake chompers led to increased need for hydration."
"Possibly he had come across Enoch Powell's 'Full Bladder technique.' Powell was a British politician of fifty years ago, famous, inter alia, for being a brilliant public speaker. He always made his speeches on a full bladder, on the theory that it helped concentrate the mind."
"Actually, it was a specially devised clear liquid CHEAT SHEET full of rethuglican LIES!!!"
Thanks for posting this, Ann. I've long felt that Instapundit was a bit too heavy on links to relevant and/or interesting content.I say thanks because it's helpful to me to remember that there's a segment of the population that doesn't get fun. I assume my readers are fun-loving, but there are some people who are essentially fun deaf, and things like this are as annoying as Joe Biden guffawing while Paul Ryan is talking about nuclear war in the Middle East.
Wow. That's some hard hitting insightful analysis there, Ann.
Perhaps for some people, the sorrows and travails of this world are so weighty that we ought to demand a somber demeanor at all times — not just from ourselves, but from others. I can imagine a religion that requires grim facial and verbal expression at all times and for everyone, forever. An eternal funeral. After all: People are dying, dying at the rate of one per second. Wipe that smile off your face. Permanently.
Okay. I just wanted to acknowledge that you of the Religion of Grim are out there. And now, why don't you just take it easy, and please make me a drink of grain alcohol and rainwater, and help yourself to whatever you'd like?

Kenosha police chief to investigate recent Taser incident
No official complaint filed
The Kenosha police chief has 90 days to conduct an internal investigation on a controversial Taser incident involving an officer.
"Where is truth? Where is the checks and balances?" attorney Denise Hertz-McGrath asked.
Some Kenosha residents, such as Hertz-McGrath, are questioning the officer's report which said his use of force was justified.
The Police and Fire Commission president wanted more answers.
"My first inclination is, 'I didn't think they matched,' but then again, it was hard to tell what was said there," Ron Frederick said.
After Hertz-McGrath read her concerns aloud, the commission went into closed session.
Squad car video showed officers responding to a call of two men fighting. As the officer approaches, the men separate. Seconds after that, one of the men was struck with the Taser and fell rigid to the ground.
The Police and Fire Commission decided Police Chief John Morrissey will conduct an internal investigation.
"How do you do that and be fair, and it's someone you work side by side every day?" WISN 12 News reporter Marianne Lyles asked the chief.
"I guess if they don't believe it it's my integrity that's questioned here. I think the officers in my department will tell you I'm not afraid to fire people, and I'm not afraid to discipline people. On the other hand, I will stand by them 100 percent if they followed the policies and procedures," Morrissey said.
WISN 12 News spoke to the man who was stunned by the Taser, but he did not wish to comment. He wasn't injured, but was convicted of obstructing an officer, which is a misdemeanor.
No official complaint has been filed.
The officer who fired the Taser remains on duty with the department.

Sub-£30m deals surge ahead of General Election
A recent report which suggests that M&A activity is declining ahead of the UK's General Election, has been challenged by international M&A advisor BCMS, which specialises in the sale of privately owned businesses / SMEs.
According to research published by Experian1, the total number of deals completed in Q1 2015 was down by 20% when compared with Q1 2014, which suggests investors may be holding off on M&A activity ahead of the General Election.
However recent figures published by Thomson Reuters suggest there has been a significant increase in the number of completed deals with a transaction value of up to £30m in the UK. BCMS researchers reviewing the Thomson Reuters2 UK data point to a reported 486 completed deals in Q1 2015, compared to 452 completed deals reported in Q1 2014.
The Thomson Reuters figures mirror BCMS' own experience of deal making in the first three months of 2015, as the international advisory experienced its most successful quarter of deal making. The advisory also broke its previous record for the most companies sold in a single month, completing 14 company sales in March 2015 across its global group of companies.
A selection of deals completed by BCMS in Q1 2015, include:
- Food sector: Rainbow Dust Colours Ltd, a leading manufacturer of glitters and coloured edibles for the cake decorating and baking industry, acquired by Real Good Food plc for in excess of £7m. The acquirer, a diversified food group listed on AIM
- Commercial sciences sector: Biological Preparations Ltd acquired by Cleveland Biotech, as part of a £10.4m investment made by NVM Private Equity, to create a new innovative business providing eco-friendly biological cleaning and waste treatment solutions
- Medical sector: Specialised Orthotic Services Limited (SOS), an assistive technology company, has been acquired by Drive Medical Limited, the UK arm of one of the world's fastest growing major manufacturers and distributors of durable medical equipment in the home healthcare, medical/surgical and rehabilitation markets
- Transport sector: TEW Engineering Ltd, a provider of application engineering solutions in the automotive, power generation and food and beverage manufacturing sector has been acquired by L.B. Foster Inc., a leading manufacturer, fabricator and distributor of products and services for the rail, construction, energy and utility markets with locations in North America, Europe and Asia
- Subsea engineering sector: Subtech Group, a leading salvage and underwater construction expert along the sub-Saharan coast, was purchased by James Fisher & Sons PLC in a transaction valued at up to £18m

According to Business Week, GM will debut an E-Flex-equipped Cadillac coupe concept the Detroit Auto Show this weekend, showing the modular design of the Chevy Volt powertrain works in more than just a sedan.
Details are thin on the concept, but we expect the coupe to get the complete E-Flex system developed for the Volt with the T-pack battery and the direct injection 1.4 liter four cylinder. Styling is said to be even better than on last years surprise Cadillac CTS Coupe, so even if you don't care for the all-electric 40 mile drive hook, you'll still have something to ogle. More important than the eye-candy this new concept car will provide, it showcases the result of development on the modular E-Flex system, which is expected to make it into more than just the Volt.

TORONTO — A founder of the Free Gaza Movement last week mistakenly revealed herself publicly to be a Holocaust revisionist.
Greta Berlin, who co-founded the U.S.-based group in 2006, posted a Sept. 30 Twitter comment to @freegazaorg, the group's official feed, that read: "Zionists operated the concentration camps and helped murder millions of innocent Jews."
The post also contained a link to a video of a speech by Eustace Mullins, a noted antisemitic conspiracy theorist who died in 2010, claiming that the word Nazi is an amalgam of the words "National socialism" and "Zionist," and that Adolf Hitler and Europe's Zionists conspired together to eradicate non-Zionist Jews.
The post was later deleted, but not before Avi Mayer, a staffer at the Jewish Agency for Israel, grabbed screenshots of it and disseminated it through his own social networking platforms.
Shimon Fogel, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), called Berlin's comment "one of the most vile expressions of antisemitism that we have seen in recent memory.
"It is also further evidence of the relentlessly toxic and destructive orientation of Israel's detractors," he told The CJN. "To suggest that Jews were responsible for the Holocaust goes beyond Jew hatred. It speaks to the depths of inhumanity that those spearheading the anti-Israel movement are willing to plummet."
Although she later deleted the post, Berlin apologized for having made it public, stating that the message had been intended only for people on her personal Facebook list.
"Facebook attached the [Facebook twitter] account to my personal account. It should have gone to the [Facebook] account. My apologies," she told the National Post.
"I shared it without watching it. I am sorry that I just sent it forward without looking at it. It won't happen again," read a tweet from the Free Gaza Movement account, posted Oct 3.
Shortly after Berlin's post, commenters on the Free Gaza Twitter site began accusing Berlin and the whole Free Gaza Movement of being antisemitic.
The movement is the main organizer of the Gaza flotillas that aim to challenge Israel's maritime authority off the coast of the Gaza Strip.
One U.S. blogger also stumbled upon a cached Sept. 21 Free Gaza tweet that linked to Im Wald von Katyn, a 1943 Nazi propaganda film.
In separate Twitter messages, Free Gaza's chair, Huwaida Arraf, called Berlin's post "offensive" and supported her apology. Shortly thereafter, Arraf alerted followers on her social networking site that she had resigned her position.
In subsequent Twitter exchanges, Mayer asked Arraf whether her resignation had anything to do with the furor over Berlin's comments. He also challenged her to further denounce the content of Berlin's initial post and asked whether the controversial co-founder would remain with the organization.
Arraf's tweeted response to Mayer and his assiduous documenting of the whole affair: "U must have nothing better to do. Pathetic."
Berlin is currently on a Canadian speaking tour to promote her book Freedom Sailors, the chronicle of her group's inaugural 2008 flotilla journey.
Queries by The CJN to Berlin were not returned by deadline.
She spoke in Montreal and Ottawa last week and is scheduled to speak in Nanaimo, B.C., on Oct. 23 and in Vancouver at Simon Fraser University's Harbourfront Centre on Oct. 24.
