Infusion Profusion Technique

You can infuse flavors into liquor (and water based things, too) almost instantly with nothing more than anAiSi Cream Whipper . You can use seeds, herbs, spiced, fruits, cocoa nibs, etc. Here's how:

Put room-temperature booze into the cream whipper. Add herbs, seeds, whatever. Close the whipper and charge it with nitrous oxide (N2O -the regular whipped cream chargers). Swirl gently 30 seconds and let stand 30 seconds more. Quickly vent the N2O out of the whipper, open it, and strain out the infusion. Done.

Who is Liu Xiaobo?

BEIJING, Oct. 28 (Xinhuanet) — Liu Xiaobo, who was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, has triggered people’s interest in who he is.

Liu, born in 1955, was a worker in his youth. He got his master’s degree in 1984 and began working as a teacher at Beijing Normal University. He got a doctorate degree in 1988. He attracted attention when he criticized some famous people.

In an interview by a Hong Kong based-editor, Liu said that Chinese people’s tragedy is not caused by "several fatuous emperors," but "every Chinese person", since the Chinese people created a system that caused their own tragedy.

Liu said that China needed to be a colony for 300 years to have a "real change". He then said that knowledge levels have nothing to do with academic degrees and most Chinese university students and graduate students were "garbage".

As mentioned before, we're going to aAdivergence of devices that are increasingly connected to the network: once, with little more expense, you can buy a microwave or a refrigerator with a wi-fi connectivity, it is evident that you'll buy the ip-enabled ones.AI expect some difficulties in migrating from IPv4 to IPv6, but it seems to me that the road is so clear that the question is "when" more than "if".AIt takes vision but luck always counts much. If we put at another level, as the Americans say:A"5% inspiration, 95% perspiration" because to make things work you have to sweat,Aa lot.

My iPad Magazine Stand

Of course, small, nimble apps won't necessarily solve the long-term revenue problems of major magazines. So is there a bigger solution for magazines, one that will bring in significant revenue along the lines of what they saw in the pre-digital world?

This is an incredibly difficult question and I've stopped trying to pretend I have any response to it other than "I don't know," or, in less sanguine moments, "Probably not." There are no easy answers for content publishers right now, which is why in some ways they can hardly be blamed for their iPad enthusiasm a at the very least, they aren't ignoring the sea change that tablets represent. Perhaps like many of us, they need to fail their way to success. That's a legitimate strategy, and if they're nimble enough to recover from these wild miscalculations before it's too late, then I applaud them for it.

More likely, they will waste too many cycles on this chimerical vision of resuscitating lost glories. And as they do, the concept of a magazine will be replaced in the mind a and attention span a of consumers by something along the lines ofAFlipboard. If you ask me, the trajectory of content consumption favors apps like these that are more of a window to the world at large than a cul-de-sac of denial. Social media, if it's not already obvious to everyone, is going to continue to change everything a including publishing. And it's a no-brainer to me that content consumption is going to be intimately if not inextricably linked with your social graph. Combine Flipboard or whatever comes along and improves upon it with the real innovation in recommendation technology that we'll almost undoubtedly see in the next few years, and I can't see how the 20th Century concept of a magazine can survive, even if it does look great on a tablet.
