Cut the slices into strips, the tiny dice. To do this, keep the pork belly in the freezer until half-frozen, then slice it to 2mm (1/8 inch) thick. You may use store-bought ground pork (絞肉), but the texture and mouth-feel would be the same if you cut the meat into tiny pieces (切肉).The filling texture will change from a wet and loose mixture into a sticky and firm mass, which looks like a meatloaf or burger patty. Lift the filling and throw it back into the bowl repeatedly for five minutes.You may add some light soy sauce and rice wine, which are optional. Add all the ground white pepper, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, sugar, oyster sauce, cornflour, and salt. Combine the pork, mushrooms, and shrimp in a large mixing bowl.Place them in a colander to drain out as much water as possible. Wash away the salt and baking soda under running water until the water runs clear. Marinate the shrimp meat with one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of baking soda for 5 minutes. Remove the shell of the shrimp, clean, and devein.When the mushrooms turn soft, cut them into small dice. Soak the dried Chinese mushroom in water.I use pork belly, which contains a certain amount of fat, which is ideal for this purpose. Adding some pork fat to the lean pork can make the filling more juicy and flavorful. Pork is the main ingredient for the filling.Step-by-step: How to make Cantonese shumai a.

She never documented the recipe, so I determined the quantity and ingredients. Her Cantonese Shumai is made with chop shrimp and pork, which I still remember vividly. She used a large round metal tray to hold the Shumai instead of the bamboo steamer because she wanted to make as many Shumai as possible for everyone in the family to enjoy. My mother-in-law loved to make a large tray of Shumai at home. Shumai has remained my favorite Dim Sum through the years. The quality of these “Cantonese Big Three” Dim Sum dishes is often used as the golden rule to gauge the standard of a Dim Sum restaurant.

8/14/2023 0 Comments Are you listening to me meme b99There are many fascinating aspects to Captain Raymond Holt's character on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. If you love these quotes from The Watch, you might also enjoy these lists of the best lines from Ted, The Dark Knight Rises, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Men in Black III, Madagascar 3, Europe's Most Wanted, The Three Stooges, Dark Shadows, Rock of Ages, and The Muppets. Updated Captain Holt is one of the funniest characters in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, despite being utterly deadpan most of the time. Are their neighbors really alien beings bent on doing harm? The Watch also stars Rosemarie DeWitt, Will Forte, Billy Crudup, Nicholas Braun and Doug Jones. Then? All heck breaks loose when the gang realizes that aliens are planning to invade the world - and it's up to them to keep everyone in their area safe.

Their daily lives are filled with pranks. Every sitcom has an iconic duo and in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Amy and Jake are top contenders for the most hilarious pairing on the show.

8/14/2023 0 Comments Mtg afr commander decksNow our opponent can’t win, and I can’t lose. As I said above, The Book of Exalted Deeds can essentially be a Platinum Angel. This deck has a win-con (flood of Angels, constant damage), but it has an alternate win condition: Rage Quit. My other favorite is when my opponent literally has no option to win and has to concede. My favorite way to win Magic is by a weird, awkward condition that my opponent cannot answer for. I have to talk about Mono-White Lifegain first, even if there are concepts that I think are more powerful. This deck can still very much win without the Book. There’s talk that it could get unbanned in the Standard Rotation 2022 (with Innistraad: Midnight Hunt). Sisyphean Obstacles (Mono-White Lifegain)Įditor’s Note: The Book of Exalted Deeds received a ban before this could even go live. Good, without everything feeling busted is important. AFR might have the most consistently good cards for decks in MTG Arena that I’ve experienced in a while. There are, of course, other amazing cards in this set. I really think it will make a splash outside of Standard, but I can see it being used in Izzet Spells. It’s got solid stats, has cost reduction, lets you recast spells from the grave (by exiling them), and you can cast it from the grave by exiling instants/sorcery cards from the grave in addition to its costs. A 4-blue creature, it costs 1 blue less for each instant and sorcery you played this turn. It’s also an excellent upgrade to Griffin Aerie in terms of creating creatures. They can’t beat you, no matter what they try. We don’t have to make it a creature! If your opponent can’t target lands, they may as well submit, because there’s no point. As the turn ends, it will return to being land, and can no longer be killed. Turn it into a creature, and then grant it the ability. But…what if they can’t? The solution is clear: Faceless Haven. You can sacrifice the Book of Exalted Deeds to grant an Angel “You can’t lose the game and your opponents can’t win the game.” So that player will no doubt want to kill that creature. You can create a Prison deck for the first time in a while. I also want to highlight The Book of Exalted Deeds. I think that’s going to be way better in Historic perhaps, but we’ll see. It’s a little bit of a gimmick card, but you can, in theory, hit the other player for 20 damage if it gets inflated with its ability, while it’s got 20 power. It has Flying/Haste and is a 6/6 flyer for 6. It can’t be countered, which has real Carnage Tyrant vibes. There’s also Inferno of the Star Mounts in Red. As long as a creature that was not Ebondeath dies in a turn, you can re-cast him. A 4 mana 5/2 Flash/Fly legendary? Sure it comes into play tapped, but it can always come back. Then there’s Ebondeath, Dracolich in Black. Having a 7/7 flyer that has to be exiled is really intimidating. Since it has no negative ticks, it will not stop being this creature, if it transforms. While only one of its abilities is worth anything, the fact that it becomes indestructible, flying 7/7 Dragon God is quite useful. Before we get started on the MTG Arena AFR decks, what are the best cards themselves? How about the Grand Master of Flowers? It’s Bahamut. Some of the cards are more powerful than others. If you want to see a whole heap of those new cards, you can use this article as a reference point. There are some excellent and powerful cards in AFR for MTG Arena, so decks will be changing up. What’s more, just because it’s a lore card, doesn’t make it overpowered. I’m definitely disappointed by that, but a lot of the lore cards fit perfectly. 8/14/2023 0 Comments Top rss reader windowsTTRSS DEVONthink Miniflux □ RSS bots Telegram Telegram RSS bots Bot of RSS屋 (a Full Article Extractor Service) QQ 酷Q Plugin WeChat Mastodon Matrix 钉钉 □ Microblogging Platforms □ Feed Search Engines □ Workflow Automation ✳ Information Aggregators □ RSS Feed Generation RSS Feed Hosting universally from multiple sources webpage/html text search results newsletter/mail webhook Kanban specifically from (a certain platform) Twitter Instagram Facebook GitHub ProductHunt Matters Telegram 9GAG Hacker News YouTube Itunes SoundCloud Spotify Links on social streams Annotation / Bookmarking WebArchive Last.fm Book authors Google Sheet Twitch TikTok Mirror Weibo (微博) Wechat Subscription Accounts (微信公众号) Zhihu (知乎) Comments of V2EX post Docsify RSS Editor □ Information spreading/forwarding via RSS feeds RSS2KINDLE RSS2MAIL RSS2NEWSLETTER RSS2TWITTER RSS2SLACK RSS2TelegramChannel RSS2ACTIVITYPUB RSS2SPEECH RSS2NOTION RSS2WIDGET For website For desktop For browser For Android device RSS2ARCHIVE RSS2GitHubProfile RSS2DISCORD RSS2Notification Webpage Monitor Services with capability of moniting RSS Feed RSS2CMS RSS2BOARD RSS2Pocket RSS2WeChat RSS2Mastodon RSS2Webhook RSS2Podcast ✨ RSS feed customization/enhancement Toolbox Full Article Extractors Reddit RSS fix Tumblr RSS fix Feed Analytics WordPress plugins Feed item filtering Combine multiple feeds into one Obtain translated RSS feed XSL template for XML Retrieve old items from a RSS feed Change RSS feed into vertical text view Search across a certain RSS Feed □□ Ease RSS feed subscribing process and reading experience RSS Feed Finding/Detection Subscribing Button iOS Shortcut Browser Booklet TOC Support □ API ⛓ OPML management □ Feed Resources/Providers/Recommendations News Entertainment Society Jobs Tech or IT Crypto or Blockchain relevant Multi-subject Aggregators of Indieblogs □ Blog Generator that Support RSS ⏬ Utilize RSS to automate downloading / Broadcatching Clients that support RSS □ RSS Relevant Community Social Newwork Based on RSS Feed Discussion Forums Telegram Groups / Channels Offical Mastodon Accounts of RSS relevant Apps/Tools/Services/Developers ✒ Posts by individuals Views / Discussions / Experiences Tutorials when knowing how to run code □ Books □ Academic literature □ Online course □ Hardware relevant NAS Small single-board computers E-ink Devices □ Survey and Result □ Design □ Services that have stopped supporting RSS □ Others Figures / Developers □ RSS × Podcast Podcast apps that will work with your custom RSS link Aggregators of Podcasts / Podcast Navigation Podcast Feed Validator Podcast RSS feed submission page for audio platforms Podcast Feed Customization Turn YouTube into Podcast Turn Podcast/MP3 into Video via Podcast Feed Turn Webpage into Podcast Podcast Statistics Podcast Hosting Podcast Search Engine Podcast RSS Feed Hosting Bot to subscribe podcast Telegram Views / Discussions About RSS and Podcast Podcast Community Discussion Forums Telegram Groups / Channels □ How to contribute □ Acknowledgement Contributors Sponsors Donators Sharing APP Promo codes with my Telegram Channel subscribers © License README.md ❔ What is RSS an IMAGE to explain what RSS is a VIDEO to explain what RSS is a WEBPAGE (in English) to explain what RSS is a WEBPAGE (in Chinese) to explain what RSS is □ Web Feed Specifications or Extensions Web Feed Specifications Specification Converters Specification Comparison Tool Outline Processor Markup Language RSS Extensions ✔ RSS Feed Validator □ RSS Readers Apps Wechat Mini Apps Hosted Readers Self Hosted Readers RSS Reader in Email System Terminal-based / programmable RSS readers RSS services powered by utilizing GitHub RSS services powered by utilizing Notion RSS services powered by utilizing Obsidian Players Server / Backend Smart Watch Apps Other Apps TestFlight / Early Access Web3 feed readers □ RSS Readers/Tools/Services Connections Demonstrated by An Interactive Node Chart □ Services that support RSS □Other Lists that Collect RSS Things ☁ Free Servers RSSHub TTRSS FreshRSS RSS-Bridge Miniflux Full-Text RSS □♀️ Customized Themes for RSS readers etc. 8/14/2023 0 Comments Action film sound effectsOne of the biggest mistakes people make when creating an audio mix is trying to find one sound effect to fit the whole scene.įor example, finding one set of footsteps that works for an entire walking sequence. Also, the simplicity of eack track makes it easy to cut, rearrange, and mix with other sounds and music. Tracks vary between genres, including horror, thriller, and dramatic scores. Take Star Wars for example, where Darth Vader’s lightsaber sound is computer-designed, while the rustling of his cape is created with foley.Cinematic Atmosphere is a massive pack of over 80 atmospheric audio effects. The distinction is made between computer-based sound effects chosen from a library, as opposed to foley where a professional “performs” the sound in front of a screen and in sync with the action in the scene. Technically, foley is a type of sound effect. What is the difference between sound effects and foley? Other commonly used sound effects: crowd chatter (called “walla” in the industry) doors opening, closing, and screeching telephone ringtones showers and running water footsteps wind explosions gun sounds… The sound usually accompanies someone getting shot, falling or being blasted away by an explosion. As part of the Warner Brothers’ stock sound library, it was subsequently used in a slew of Hollywood productions, including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Toy Story, Hercules and Game of Thrones. The agonising scream of a man was first used in the 1951 Western Distant Drums. What is the most used sound effect in movies?Īccording to its dedicated Wikipedia page, the Wilhelm Scream is the most used sound effect in movies. It’s a bit of a grey area, but it’s always worth purchasing the necessary rights when using someone else’s creations. Yet, you can create your own slamming door that sounds exactly the same. While it is debatable how easily one could claim or defend copyrights on, e.g., a slamming door, the answer is “yes, sound effects are copyrighted.” Sound effects as part of a library are usually sold as copyrighted items. That’s how the audience can follow the dialogue in a war scene without the explosions drowning them out, for instance. Recording dialogue, background noise and sound effects on different audio tracks allows for a better mix and balance of the final audio track of the film. These are soundproofed stages that eliminate any unwanted sound that could clutter the dialogue. That’s why film studios are called sound stages. Sound effects are almost always added to a film in post-production. Asynchronous sound effects are background sounds that don’t match any action on-screen but bring more realism into a film, like the clinking sound of dishes and cutlery in the background of a restaurant scene. Synchronous sound effects match the action in a scene, e.g., a big thud sound that accompanies a bag hitting the floor. Sound effects can be synchronous or asynchronous. Sound effects or SFX are sounds beyond dialogue or music that are artificially created as part of a film’s storytelling or to add creative value. They tell viewers more about a scene, they evoke emotion, they connect audiences to what they’re seeing, and bring a scene to life! This article puts sound effects centre stage and answers five frequently asked questions. Sound in movies comes in three main forms: dialogue, music and effects.Ĭompared to dialogue and music, sound effects operate a bit more under the radar, but they have just as much potential to make or break a movie. Sound reflects objects seen in the scene but also hints at the presence of things we don’t see in the scene. Sound is unquestionably crucial in film: it’s 50% of the senses uses to watch a movie. 8/14/2023 0 Comments Techsmith free downloadYou can add audio, photos and text to the video easily and export videos in any known format.

A supportive footbed: As with any other comfortable shoe you’d buy, look for sandals with supportive footbeds that help minimize fatigue, stress and strain on the whole foot and won’t dig into areas of pain, Dr.Additionally, Mendeszoon recommends looking at cork materials, which mold to your foot over time. Soft interior materials also help reduce irritation. Flexible fabrics: Materials with some give, like soft leather or stretchy fabric, won’t put excess pressure on bunions.This gives your foot room to spread out and keep your toes from cramping up together. Sandals are fine to wear periodically, says Mendeszoon, but make sure they fit your foot well both in length and width. A solid fit: By their nature, sandals have less meat to them and generally have to work much harder to provide the kind of support that something like a sneaker can. I have wide feet but it gives my foot a slimmer look.” What to Look for in the Best Sandals for Bunions What reviewers say: “These shoes are sleek and comfortable. Expect these shoes to move with you rather than against you. The insole is contoured to fit your foot without forcing your foot to fit into it, and the soles are flexible. The strappy design keeps your foot firmly in place, but the leather material has a bit of stretch to accommodate your bunions.

Birkenstock shoes are consistently recommended by foot health experts because of their wide, supportive base that won’t crush toes.

A long row of rosebushes, perhaps, accentuated at the end with a giant exclamation shrub? Or an arrangement of flowers with one or two Sky Pencil Hollies bursting up through the center? If you are going to plant Sky Pencil Holly, think about what kind of statement you want to make. We want a nice cohesive blending of plants and flowers and ignore the uniqueness of each one. I like them for this, however, my favorite planting of these are as single shrubs, standing out in the landscape yelling “Look at Me!” I think too often we want our landscapes to meld and merge together. The majority of people use Sky Pencil Holly for hedgerows. A big bonus of this evergreen holly, however, is that it doesn’t have prickly leaves like so many other hollies have. The Sky Pencil Holly has small, oval, green leaves that stay this color year-round, like all evergreens. The birds like the berries, though, so it is nice to provide a good meal to some feathery friends. Neither of these is as attractive or remarkable as its shape. It blooms small, light, undistinctive green flowers and has little black berries. There aren’t many shrubs that offer the visual appeal that this one does without taking up huge amounts of space. It is a great choice for spaces where there isn’t room for wider plants. It will not grow wider than two feet at its deepest and it can be pruned to be even narrower. The Sky Pencil Holly grows up to 10 feet tall and is broad at the top with its branches tapering off towards the bottom. It is a cultivated variety of Japanese holly and is classified as a broadleaf evergreen shrub and is part of the boxwood evergreens family.ĭescription Sky Pencil Holly By Martin Hackney from / Originally from Japan, the Sky Pencil Holly was introduced into the U.S. They stand out when arranged in pairs to flank a statue or wall. They also look great placed on decks or patios and as foundation plantings. Two Sky Pencil Hollies look amazing as a frame to a doorway or at an entrance to a driveway. With large enough containers, it can still grow to its full height of 10 feet and make sure no one misses seeing it. While this shrub looks best rising up out of an outdoor landscape, it can also be grown in a container. If you are the type of person who likes your garden to make a statement, the Sky Pencil Holly is for you. The fact that it is super easy to grow only makes it that much more attractive as a holly. The distinctive shape wants to be used in a bold landscape or as a striking hedgerow. The name Sky Pencil Holly is an apt descriptor. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C.This is one of my favorite evergreens because it literally stands up like an exclamation point and announces itself to all passersby. 'Sky Pencil' is an introduction of the U.S. A typical 4-6' tall specimen may only be 10-12" wide. 'Sky Pencil' is an exceedingly narrow, fastigiate form which grows somewhat slowly in a vertical, pencil-like column to 10' tall but only 2-3' wide. Specific epithet is in obvious reference to the crenate margins of the leaves. Genus name comes from the Latin name Quercus ilex for holm oak in reference to the foliage similarities (holm oak and many of the shrubs in the genus Ilex have evergreen leaves). It is noted for its ovate to elliptic, crenate to serrulate, glossy, spineless, evergreen, deep green leaves (to 1 1/4" long) which are attractive all year, 4 petaled white flowers which bloom in 3-7 flowered cymes in late spring (May-June), and black rounded somewhat inconspicuous fruits (drupes to 1/4” diameter) which mature in fall on pollinated female plants. It is native to forests, thickets and mountain slopes in Japan, Korea, China and eastern Russia (Sakhalin). Ilex crenata, commonly known as Japanese holly or box-leaved holly, is a dense, multi-branched, evergreen shrub with a rounded form that typically matures to 5-10’ tall and as wide.
