pico de gallo
Pico de gallo is quick and easy to make at home, and it's fantastic made a few hours ahead of time. I often make it to go with tacos - today I made it with my chickpea tacos. This pico de gallo recipe isn't the most exact as far as measurements go, but I'll share some of my basic pico de gallo rules. :D Ingredients: equal amount of tomatoes and white onionscouple cloves of garlica jalapeno or serranoa handful of cilantro - no stems!pinch of saltsqueeze of lemon or lime
After eating at quite a few Mexican restaurants here in Oakland, and experimenting with making salsas and pico at home on my own, I've decided that having equal amounts of tomatoes and onions work the best. I also love sweeter tomatoes in this - I tend to use grape or cherry. :)
Make sure you're using a white onion - yellow onions are too mild and sweet.
Method: Dice the onion finely.Pierce the tomatoes with a sharp knife and squeeze out the seeds and excess juice.Chop the tomatoes so they match the size of the onions.Mince your garlic and pepper of choice.Place everything in a bowl and mix in a generous pinch of salt.Add lemon juice and chopped cilantro to taste.Keep tasting and add until you love it!
I never add any crazy additional spices to mine - it's good as-is! I use lemon here instead of lime because I think the pico is sweet enough thanks to the tomatoes. The lemon adds a nice sour/sharp note. :) Just use whichever citrus you like more!
Also keep in mind that while it's best made in advance, the salt we added will cause lots of liquid to come out of the tomatoes and onions. You might want to drain it a little if you'll be using it on tacos.
Physical Reconfiguration of Digital Anatomy
First, insert an image (Figure 1) into Rhino using the "picture frame" command. This will result in an image that is able to be moved and scaled. (Figure 2)
Use "control point curve" to draw a line around the object you wish to make 3D, in my case it was my heart and aorta. (Figure 3) It is important to turn Osnaps off for this, so that the line will be on one plane and not snap elsewhere where you don't want it. Use the "patch" command to create a surface from the closed line, and then use "extrude surface" to create an extension that can hold volume. (Figure 4) Make sure that 'cap' is selected, so that the extruded ends are capped and the figure is solid.
Insert another image, with the same "picture frame" command. This image should be another view of the same object. For example, if the first image was of the front of the object, the second image should be of the side of the object. Rotate the second image 45 degrees. (Image 5)
Perform the same process on the second image: control point curve, patch, extrude surface. You now have two solid objects. (Image 6) Depending on where you place the second image, the tracing line may or may not be directly on the image. If it is not, the process works just as well. However, for patch to work correctly, make sure that the line is not curved through multiple coordinate planes.
Arrange these two objects so that they intersect one another. (Image 7)
Use "Boolean2Objects" and select 'intersection.' This should result in a three-dimensional object that is roughly the shape of your desired piece. (Image 8)
Confront Your Biases to See the World from Another Point of View
David Foster Wallace's commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon college has gone down as one of the better pieces of life advice out there. His suggestion is pretty simple: when you're annoyed with another person, think about why you would do what they're doing. Of course, this is easier said than done. We have all kinds of biases that prevent us from seeing another person's point of view. One of the problems is our bias blind spot that suggests we can't really compensate for our own biases because we don't believe we have them. As Wallace suggests, the best thing you can do is try to think about how you think. Scientific American has another similar approach:
It's not easy, but choosing to think a different way can make plenty of life's annoyances less frustrating. You can read Wallace's full speech here. This is Water | VimeoMindfulness, in contrast, involves observing without questioning. If the takeaway from research on cognitive biases is not simply that thinking errors exist but the belief that we are immune from them, then the virtue of mindfulness is pausing to observe this convoluted process in a non-evaluative way. We spend a lot of energy protecting our egos instead of considering our faults. Mindfulness may help reverse this.

How Can I Play my Old PC Games on a Modern Computer?

Use Windows 8 Picture Passwords to Learn Information
Windows: In the newest version of Windows, you can create a picture password that you unlock with a series of taps or drags. Try using this to drill yourself on information you want to learn.The picture password works with a series of three motion. You can circle, tap, or drag across certain parts of the photo. To unlock your machine, you need any combination of three of these gestures. By using photos of something that you're trying to learn (like the periodic table example above), you can quiz yourself every time you unlock your computer.Fried Dessert Plantains a la Colombiana
This is the the story of two little brothers, who grew up together but had to walk separated paths. Now, they're travelling the world, looking for adventures, wonders and treasures. Both brothers are gifted: one inherited his mother's great culinary skills and learned how to cook tasty dishes. There is no impossible recipe for him and he always has the perfect touch to make everything delicious! On the other hand, the second brother learned how to... build junkbots and stuff using plastic trash.
But not today, because Instructables' Fried Day caught me on town, so I will share with you how to make delicious plantains filled with mozzarella cheese and some typical Colombian sweets: Arequipe (or "Dulce de Leche") and Bocadillo (guava paste), a dessert so easy to prepare even the not-cook-in-a-million-years sibling of the Caicedo-Langer family can prepare. This is my first kitchen instructable, so I hope you enjoy it.
CAUTION: Due to their thick consistency, hot arequipe and bocadillo are known to be extremely tongue burners ("Napalm in your mouth" level). So, before eating, wait a few minutes until these sweets get warm.
If you are in South America you won't have problem finding the ingredients. But if you are in North America, probably you will need to visit the latino neighborhood of your city. In San Francisco there is Mission District, in Mission St. and 22nd.Mature plantains: you can determinate it by the peel color: yellow with big black spots. Mozzarella cheese: In Colombia, we use "Doblecrema" cheese. But Mozzarella is your best choice. Arequipe: It has different name in South America, depending of the country you are: Arequipe, Cajeta, Manjar, Manjar Blanco, Dulce de Leche. If you can't find it, here is an instructable of how to do it. Bocadillo: A traditional guava paste from Colombia. Most of the times, you can find it enveloped on plantain leaves. If you can't find the Bocadillo, you will have to use only Arequipe. Oil: Canola or peanut.
