Apocalypse Prep: How to Preserve Food Without a Fridge

Photo: Jihyun Ryou

When you bring food home from a grocery store, chances are you toss it in the fridge. Ever stop to wonder if that's your best move? People managed to store perishables before the era of refrigeration, and if you're imagining a root cellar full of cans and preserves, you're only partially right. Designer Jihyun Ryou has made it her mission to, er, preserve some of those old methods of preserving food, designing this minimalist system for the modern kitchen."We hand over the responsibility of taking care of food to the technology, the refrigerator," says Rhyou. "We don’t observe the food any more and we don’t understand how to treat it." Are you really treating your food badly when you pop it in the fridge? Well, you're sealing it in a cold box with a bunch of other food -- all of it off-gassing and slowly decomposing. Each item reacts to the chemical composition of the other items, and to the environment itself....

Special Share to Earn Program For Linkin Park Fansites and I am Rooting For…

 ...Linkin Park Association! Yes, I know there are other great sites, and I love them all, but I've decided to support the LPA for the following reasons: - their forum is great! I don't think that there's a forum on any other LP site that has so many members, so no matter what Linkin Park news surface, you always have someone to talk about it there. Also, they've been very helpful in solving those funny little puzzles LP threw our way. - through the years, they've managed to obtain some great exclusives for us! - they always manage to engage the fans with some funny stuff e.g. the monthly remix contest - fast news & tour updates. I especially love the live setlist tweeting during LP shows - Try the Ketchup, Motherfucker! So after all the schmoozing, here's what you have to do! Preorder Linkin Park's upcoming album "LIVING THINGS" via this link:

Short Story Contest Submission: Ierra Miole – Time’s Up

 This is the last submission for the Short Story Contest. VOTING IS OPEN NOW!

Time’s up!

by Ierra Miole             It was an ordinary day for me. I woke up and cleaned my house. Every day has the same happenings and what will happen next was predictable, a daily routine. If only my father is here, at least that daily routine would change. But it has been three years of not seeing him and the last letter from my father that says he will come back, was three years ago. And until now, he is still gone. The boredom that we always feel is like a virus that loses up our energy. Maybe that’s the reason why people always have a complaint because every day, they have the same things to do. And because I am one of them, I’m used to it. And maybe that’s the reason why I am very conscious of time. But I didn’t imagine that this boring life would end up so soon. I am just walking in the mall when I met a man. He bumped me and my pouch fell. The guy picked it up and smile at me as he gave the pouch. Then one woman shouted from my back. “A thief!! A thief!” she said. “What happen?” asked the security guard. “That guy took my wallet!” the woman replied, pointing to the direction of the guy who bumped me. ...

Great Article About Linkin Park’s Marketing Manager Adam Ruehmer

 Most Linkin Park fans know Adam Ruehmer, but for those who don't, he's pretty much the guy you turn to whenever there's a question about the fan club, live shows, ticket sale, etc. Galesburg's local newspaper, The Register-Mail, featured a little article about his work on their website, which also says that Adam will blog from the road for them! Things to look forward to! Here's the article:
Galesburg’s Adam Ruehmer told me recently he will accompany Linkin Park on its world tour this year. A 2002 GHS graduate, Adam is marketing manager for the band. “Our first leg takes us all over Europe, from Lisbon, to Moscow, even to Romania. I leave in a month. Following that, we’re doing a huge U.S. tour with the band Incubus in August.” All tour dates are up at www.linkinpark.com/events/event/listFeatured. Adam has agree to blog from the Linkin Park world tour for galesburg.com, so check back for updates. Meanwhile, I asked Adam to fill us in on his duties with Linkin Park: My official title is Marketing Manager for Linkin Park Strategic Marketing. It’s a mouthful, I know. Here’s what that means: ...
