True to its name, this rolled sushi was invented in California by an enterprising Japanese sushi chef in the early 1970s.
To complete this How-To you will need:
Some plastic wrap
A bamboo mat for rolling sushi
Half of a cucumber
A vegetable peeler
A very sharp knife
A cutting board
A ripe avocado
4 imitation crab sticks or a quarter lb. of cooked, shredded crab
2 c. prepared sushi rice
2 sheets of toasted nori, cut in half
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
A small spoon
A damp kitchen towel
And a bowl of clean water
Lemon juice (optional)
Step 1: Encase mat in plastic
Cut a large piece of plastic wrap a little more than twice the size of your bamboo mat and place it on the table. Place the bamboo mat on top and encase it in the plastic by smoothing the wrap evenly over both sides. Set the mat aside.
Step 2: Prepare cucumber
Peel the cucumber and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon. Cut the cucumber half into thin strips about 1/8 -- to 1/4-inch wide and set them aside.
Step 3: Prepare avocado
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves until they separate. Cut the half without the pit into two quarters. Remove their skin and cut them lengthwise into quarter-inch slices. Set the slices aside and clean your hands and knife with the damp kitchen cloth.
Tip: To prevent the avocado from oxidizing, or turning brown, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the cut avocados.
Step 4: Put rice on nori
Lay a half sheet of nori shiny side down. Moisten your hands with a little water and grab a handful, or about a cup, of prepared sushi rice. Ball it up and put it on top of the nori.
Step 5: Spread rice
Spread and pat the rice across the nori, leaving a 1/2-inch margin uncovered at the bottom edge.
Tip: Don't use too much rice. It should be no more than 1/4-inch thick and you should be able to see the nori sheet through it.
Step 6: Sprinkle sesame seeds
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.
Step 7: Flip nori onto mat
Lay the plastic-wrapped bamboo in front of you. Flip the prepared nori sheet rice-side down at the bottom end of the mat.
Step 8: Lay filling in nori
Lay a strip of shredded crab across the middle of the nori, add a strip or two of cucumber next to it, and lay avocado slices on top.
Step 9: Roll with mat
Use the bamboo mat to roll the bottom edge of the nori over the filling in the center, tucking it over firmly so the filling is enclosed.
Step 10: Continue to roll
Pull the mat back and lay it over the roll again. This time continue to roll forward, applying even pressure and tightening as you roll, using your mat as leverage.
Step 11: Smooth out roll
Once it's taken shape, take the roll off the mat and lay the mat over it. Press and smooth the roll, compressing it tightly and evening out the ends.
Step 12: Cut roll
With a very sharp knife use a delicate but firm sawing motion to cut the roll in half. Cut each half into three equal pieces.
Step 13: Repeat process
Repeat the process with your remaining half of nori, lightly layering it with rice, adding the filling, and rolling and cutting the sushi. Eat at your leisure—after all, this is California-style.

According to Japanese tradition, aspiring sushi chefs must spend years perfecting their sushi rice before they're even allowed to cut fish. So consider this a head start.
To complete this How-To you will need:
2 c. short grain white rice, preferably Japanese sushi rice
Lots of fresh, cold water
A measuring cup
A mesh strainer
A heavy, 2-quart pot with a lid
A wooden spoon
A timer
A 4-quart plastic, silicone, or glass bowl
1/2 c. white rice vinegar
2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. sugar
A four-inch piece of konbu seaweed
And a 1-quart saucepan
Step 1: Rinse rice
Place the rice in a mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water. Pick out any debris you might find in the rice, such as weird little pebbles or odd-looking grains of rice.
Step 2: Soak rice
Place the rinsed rice in your 2-quart pot and fill the pot with water until it's about one inch above the rice. Let this soak for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse rice again
Place the soaked rice back in the strainer and rinse it again under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Step 4: Boil rice
Place the rinsed, drained rice back in the saucepan and add 2 1/4 cups of cold water. Cover the pot, place it over high heat, and bring it to a boil.
Step 5: Turn down heat
Once at a boil—you'll see steam and bubbles escaping from under the lid—turn the heat down to the lowest possible setting.
Step 6: Let rice simmer
Let the rice simmer for 20 minutes. Set a timer and don't lift the lid to check on the rice until it goes off.
Tip: If there's still water in the pot after 20 minutes, put the lid back on and let the rice cook a few more minutes until all the water is absorbed.
Step 7: Boil mixture
While the rice is cooking, place the rice vinegar, salt, and sugar in the smaller, 1-quart pot and bring it to a boil on medium high heat, stirring regularly until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the konbu to the vinegar mixture and turn off the heat. Set the pot aside to cool.
Step 8: Let rice sit
Once the rice has absorbed all the water, turn off the heat and let it sit for 15 minutes with the lid still on.
Step 9: Spread out rice
Dump the rice into a large non-metal bowl and spread it out with a wooden spoon so it will cool down faster.
Tip: Don't scrape the bottom of the pot—any dried, crusty bits of rice will add a funny flavor and texture to your sushi.
Step 10: Pour mixture
Remove the konbu from the cooled vinegar and slowly pour the mixture over a spoon into the cooked rice, gently stirring and tossing to combine and cool it.That's it; you've just saved yourself years of practice!

Una obra de arte hecha animación, hace unos pocos meses descubrí esta genial animación la cual es imprescindible para todos aquellos amantes a este género.
Todo comienza en 1945 cuando Walt Disney y Salvador Dalí se unieron para crear un corto animado el cual tendría como nombre "Destino". Pero pese a los esfuerzos no se logró terminar por dos razones muy importantes: la económica estaba declinando por efecto de la segunda guerra mundial y adicional a ello el corto no era de carácter comercial razón por la cual decidieron abandonar el proyecto.

"PLEASE NOTE"
I DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE, KILLING, GENOCIDE, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT.
This is just a video to show what Europe might look like if they won.
These are clips that I got from a movie "Fatherland", some from the History channel, and other historical footage that I found here on youtube. I just edited and put them together originally for a school project. Afterwards I decided to post it on youtube. I didn't think it was going to get this many views seeing as it was kind of a rush job and I didn't really spend a lot of time on it. I didn't actually expect to get this many views. The song is called Enya - Only Time. Yes I know I could have used a different song. If you really think so then go ahead and tell me what other song should have been used or if you really want you can download this and edit it whatever way you want.

This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes. This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride!

Note - for websites linking the video, please note that my name is David Ellis (the J is my middle initial).
WARNING - I have ridden almost 900 roller coasters around the world and am highly experienced with on-ride filming...so don't try to copy this. Coasters are fun, but taking risks could be dangerous. So always ride safely and abide by the operator's instructions and ride rules!
