Santa Maria firefighters train in live fires
Updated On: Nov 01 2013 08:49:50 PM CDT
The city of Santa Maria Fire Department will intentionally burn two downtown buildings in a series of technical live fire exercises and firefighter training programs.
The building locations are 518 and 600 East Boone Street, near the city's transit center. The two single-story former commercial/office buildings are being burned and demolished to make room for the future 262-unit Hancock Terrace apartment project.
The property owner donated the buildings to the department.

expiration date of heavy whipping cream
- drewb123 Aug 8, 2007 06:32 PM
This may be a stupid question but I have a container of hevay whipping cream with an expiration date of Jun 26th. Just smelled and tasted it and it's fine. How good after the date can I use it? I have compnay fri night and need 1 cup of it should I just buy fresh?
I think there may have been another post on this very topic a few months back but I have to run off to work so can't link it right now. Bottom line, it seemed like everyone on that post (and me personally) concurred that heavy cream typically lasts much longer than it's expiration date, especially if not opened. I've definitely used cream that was over a month past its date without worry. You know when dairy is bad by smell and taste so if those two senses haven't steered your wrong you should be fine. Good luck!
are you sure it's an 'expiration' date? and not a 'sell by date'?
'sell by' dates usually give you seven days of usable guaranteed quality.
but when in doubt, throw it out.
I dont understand why some folks like to "push the envelope" on expiration dates... especially on dairy product just to save a few pennies. Go buy some fresh heavy cream, you only need a cup.
Just buy some fresh stuff. you'll feel like an a$$ if for some reason your meal is ruined b/c of saving a few bucks.
If it is UHT cream and it looks, smells, and tastes okay, it is okay. That stuff, if unopened, lasts for months after the expiration date. Even opened, the date is meaningless! Just let your senses guide you.
If you have real non-UHT cream, you can still go by your senses but, if it's okay, use it up NOW. You were lucky. Non UHT cream spoils quickly.
You aren't pushing an envelope here. You'll know whether it's good.
If it passes the "sniff test," I would not care but I know that there others out there who are, as I like to say, "brainwashed by the food service dating industry." For company, I'd just get some new stuff...wouldn't want anyone to spot the date on the carton and accuse me of trying to poison them :-)
re: jzerocsk
"brain washed", or a person who has the same standards of any restaurant I have ever worked in. You do not use expired items no matter what. Why risk it. Break open your wallet, and buy some fresh product.
Different strokes I guess.
re: swsidejim
Different strokes....and different standards. I'm not running a restaurant in my kitchen. Like I said, though, for guests I'd get new stuff anyway.
For just me, the nose knows better than a bureaucrat. Sure there are things I don't take chances with like meats and canned goods.. But Sell-by and Best-by dates are vastly different from Use-by or actual expiration dates. Maybe it's because I'm the product of parents who had to be very frugal all their lives, but I can't think of a good reason to waste something that's perfectly usable just because the date stamped on the package has passed.
Here's an interesting article about expiration dates:
re: jzerocsk
I dont run a restaurant from my kitchen either, I just try to practice the same high quality standards I was taught.
To each there own.
For company buy new cream. Wouldn't you want your host to do the same for you? In the mean time, make butter with it . You can just blend it in your mixer to make butter.
There is a HUGE difference between "sell by" dates and "expiration dates" people. The sell by date is a reference for the store. Those products are good for at least another 30 days. That's why they have different names! Just like "best if used by" dates. It means exactly what it says. Sell by, (the store can not sell it after that date for quality pruposes) "best" if used by (meaning best quality of the product) and "expiration date". (meaning do not use after......)

Sources confirm to CBS19 that Defensive End Jeffrey Fitzgerald is leaving the team effective immediately. Fitzgerald informed teammates Thursday of his decision. Reasons for his departure have not yet been released.
Fitzgerald, who was supposed to be the heir apparent to Chris Long at the defensive end position, leaves the program at an unfortunate time. Starting quarterback Jameel Sewell and cornerback Chris Cook both left the program for academic reasons. Unlike the four players not enrolled at UVa, as far as reports indicate, Fitzgerald is still in school at this time. Stay tuned to CBS19 for the very latest on this developing story.

Digby experiments with the silk flowers to reduce the beautification cost of the town
Have you ever tried to decorate your flower basket with some blue silk flowers or might be with some other silk flowers? It looks really great and moreover, helps to save your money.
Now the Canadian town Digby is putting their effort on using the silk flowers in stead of the real flowers to decorate the waterfront. These silk flowers would certainly last longer than the real flowers and save money. It also requires low maintenance cost which is quite good for the town.
This Canadian town Digby has 15 hanging flower baskets. Eight of them are at Digby Center (by the marina) and the rest seven are on the walkway below the monument.
The town's Director of Public Works has mentioned that when a single flower seems to be poorly then that flower can be replaced without changing the entire flowers.
These silk flowers are also an experiment to see how well they survive the weather on the waterfront and it's a trial to find out how much the town can save economically.
The report says that the staff maintained those live flower baskets (including watering, fertilizing and picking dead sprouts etc.) for two hours, three times each week totaling $1700 in staff hours each summer. Moreover, this accounting doesn't include the cost for engaging a town truck while maintenance procedure.

Insurance companies determine risk for homeowners insurance by weighing factors such as the type of home (some newer homes have safer materials) and the area in which a home is located, to name a few. Read the following information to learn more about factors that affect your homeowners insurance costs.
We often offer a number of special credits to help cut the cost of insurance because their customers have done something to reduce their risk. In some cases, these credits are a way to reward valuable customers for their loyalty and continued business. These credits are described in general terms. Check with one of our qualified agents to find out the specific details of credits that your carrier offers. We will also be able to tell you which credits are available in your state, too, because these credits aren't available everywhere.
Ordinarily, the deductible amount (what you pay out of your own pocket before your insurance policy kicks in) on a homeowners policy is $250. By choosing a higher deductible ($500, $750, $1,000 or higher), you'll have lower annual premium payments. Have you insured your land? Sometimes the value of your land is incorrectly included as part of your dwelling coverage (also called Coverage A). Since homeowners policies don't provide protection for your land, it would be a waste of money to include its value as part of your Coverage A amount. Your Coverage A amount should only reflect the price it would cost to repair or replace your home's structure. If you aren't sure whether your land is also included, contact your agent or Travelers representative to review your policy.
Certain building materials may cost less to insure or may qualify you for discounts. And choosing brick construction over a wooden frame structure -- or vice versa -- can make a difference if you live in areas where earthquakes or hurricanes frequently occur. Additionally, upgrading your electrical, plumbing, and heating systems could mean savings. Talk to a builder, your insurance agent at Payton Insurance Agency.
If you live near your local fire department in a safe, quiet, easily accessible neighborhood, your homeowners rates might be lower than if your home is located 'off the beaten path.' Your home may cost more to insure if you are many miles from the nearest fire department.
If you bought additional insurance coverage for your valuable items, keep an eye on their value and adjust your coverage amount appropriately. Otherwise, some items that have decreased in value may be over insured.
A number of companies, credit unions and associations make auto insurance available to their employees or members through on of our carriers. The special program rates reflect the administrative savings a carrier passes on to members of a large group. Credit union and association members can pay their premiums through small, regular deductions from their checking or savings account. Employees can have their premiums automatically deducted from their paycheck. Check with your employer, credit union or association to find out if they enhance their benefits by sponsoring this type of insurance program offered through one of our providers.
Did you know that fraud costs you about ten cents for every dollar you spend on insurance? Think about this: If you own a home and two cars and pay $1,800 for insurance each year, you'll have spent $900 on fraud in just five years. So, ask your state legislators to make the fight against insurance fraud one of their priorities. Report insurance fraud to your insurance agent, or local police when you see or suspect it. Speak out against insurance fraud to your friends, family, and business associates. After all, it's not just the big insurance companies that pay. All those costs eventually filter down to you.
Looking for affordable California auto and homeowners insurance? We aim to answer all your questions and give you the freedom to compare quotes and choose the right policy for you and your family.

What to expect:
Colonial Williamsburg is the best known and most visited of all American living-history museums, with 1 million ticketed visitors each year. Families have been time traveling here for more than 70 years, transported all the way back to a Colonial American town in 1775, on the eve of the American Revolution. Some 500 original and restored buildings, along with gardens, ponds, streams, and horse pastures, make up the beautifully landscaped, 173-acre park.
Williamsburg, founded in 1699, was the capital of the Virginia Colony until 1780, and thanks to the meticulous restoration and reconstruction the old city looks much the same today as it did then. Thoroughly trained interpreters dressed in period costumes help re-create the era and add to the feeling of authenticity. Their carefully researched roles reflect people from all walks of society, from notables such as Thomas Jefferson, Martha Washington, and Patrick Henry to tradesmen and slaves.
As you wander around town, you might listen in or participate as they debate the issues of the day, such as the burdens of British rule and taxation, the role of slavery, and the appropriate punishments for witches. The interpreters are also glad to answer your questions. While 5- to 8-year-olds may not understand all of the debates, they can still have plenty of fun here as they get some hands-on lessons about life in Colonial America. Kids ages 6 to 14 can rent 18th-century garb, (including tri-cornered hats) for a moderate fee; pose for pictures in the stocks; play Colonial-era games such as hoop rolling, stilt walking, and ninepins;and ride in a horse-drawn carriage. They can join other kids in the town fire brigade, try their hand at baking bread or making crafts, or help tend a garden. They can also enjoy the sounds of a fife-and-drum corps as it marches down the pedestrian-only Duke of Gloucester Street, and maybe check out toys from the period (such as drums and dolls) in the Little Patriot Gift Shop.
For dinner, you can head to one of the local taverns and share a family meal of turkey pie, apple fritters, and spoon bread. In the evening, the children can attend a show featuring Colonial-style music, magic, and trained animals (extra admission required).
Nine restaurants (including four "taverns" featuring 18th century-style fare), hotels, shops, two nearby KOA Kampgrounds (visit the Williamsburg KOA's website or call 800-562-1733 to reserve at either site). Modern Williamsburg also has many restaurants and hotels.

Those are probably the 5 scariest words in website optimization today. More and more visitors are asking themselves that question and then not buying.
They're applying a considered purchase mindset to much lower price-points than ever before. And most websites' copywriting is coming up short in the face of this new challenge, since most of it was written to describe rather than to intensify desire or persuade.
So with that in mind, here's a quick and dirty…
I knew I had to buy a copy as soon as I saw it on the magazine stand: the issue of Time Magazine with Presidential temperament as the front cover story. They even had four presidential faces on the cover, which, before examining them, made me think of previous explanations of temperament using the Four Presidents on Mt Rushmore:Dutiful George Washington for Sensing-Judging / Methodicals Philosophical Thomas Jefferson for iNtuitive-Thinking / Competitives Rambunctious Teddy Roosevelt for Sensing-Perceiving / Spontaneous…

It sometimes looks that way to me. At least they seem more tightly focused on creating effective messaging than many marketers. Political campaign consultants routinely manipulate the nuances of words in order to consciously frame and re-frame the way people think about a topic, while far too many marketers don't.
Here's an example from the world of politics:
When California's conservatives wanted to define the word "marriage" by law, Proposition 22 was added to the California ballot. It was…

The one-day promotion adjusted their menu item pricing based on the close of the DOW and the NASDAQ – the tumultuous DOW set the food menu pricing, and the NASDAQ set the price of house wine, draft beers, and well…

Imagine the following: You're alone at night, walking to your car in an isolated area. A large man pops out of an alley and heads towards you. It's not just your nerves, he's clearly coming after you, so you get ready to defend yourself. In the dim light you see what looks like a club in his hand. He swings. You throw your hand up and block!

The Guardian recently revealed shocking results from a six-month investigation of the Thai fishing industry: Much of the shrimp sold in American and British supermarkets were produced with slave labor.
While shrimp sold to U.S. consumers hail from a number of different countries, including our own, Thailand is the world's biggest shrimp supplier. Charoen Pokphand (CP) Foods, the corporation at the heart of this story, is Thailand's largest shrimp farmer.
You may think slavery ended with Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. But it's still around.
Disturbingly, there are even cases of modern-day slavery found here in the United States - including farmworkers in Florida chained and locked inside of U-Haul style trucks, forced to work in the fields for as little as $20 per week. But here in the United States, when we catch cases like that, we send the perpetrators to jail.
Strangely enough, slavery only became illegal everywhere when Mauritania became the last country to outlaw it in 1981. Worse yet, Mauritania didn't criminalize slavery until 2007.
In Thailand, slavery is illegal, plain and simple. It just happens anyway - a lot. The majority of the estimated half a million victims are migrants from poorer nations like Burma. They pay brokers to help them find jobs in Thailand, and instead the brokers sell them to fishing boats as slaves.
Once on the boats, the slaves are held without pay, forced to work up to 20 hours per day. Those who have escaped describe regular beatings, torture, and even witnessing the murder of other slaves.
But these boats don't catch shrimp. They catch other fish and sea creatures - fish that aren't economically valuable as human food. Then they sell their catch to factories that grind them into fishmeal.

From the Pork Barrel: Romney Landslide "Possible"
* Examiner.com's Dean Chambers lays out a pretty convincing argument that a Mitt Romney landslide victory is "possible." Assuming Romney wins every state in which Obama is currently polling under 50.1, he'd clean up with 353 electoral votes to Obama's 185. Not even close! However, I personally discovered that if every voter in every state that has an "e" in its name casts a write-in vote for former Hollywood Squares center square Paul Lynde, we might just be seeing out first dead gay president in November.
* Kansas' birther Secretary of State Kris Kobach seems to be signaling that Barack Obama may be getting pulled off his state's ballot due to an insufficient number of birth certificates. Losing the 6 electoral votes provided by Kansas — where the President is only trailing Romney by 15% — could prove to be a devastating blow to his re-election math (which incidentally is, I think, illegal in Kansas).
* Obama tried to sneak some pretty unsavory racial junk into a new Spanish language ad. I think maybe he forgot that some people do genuinely speak Spanish.

Torvalds asks 'Why do PC manufacturers even bother any more?'
Linux Lord Linus Torvalds is thinking about making Google's Chromebook Pixel his main computer – once he installs a proper Linux distribution on the machine, that is. Posting on Google+, Torvalds lauded Google's newest creation, writing "... the screen really is that nice" [his emphasis] and that "I think I can lug around this 1 …
" I despise widescreen displays" yeahmmm good at linux, not so much on a logical display.
Re: Torvalds
Other than watching video (although I can ignore black bars), in what other respects are widescreen displays superior or more logical?
Gaming? Well, my old 20in Samsung running 1600x1200 is much better than my old 21in Samsung running 1650x1050 for gaming, although my preference was for 1920x1200. Display aspect matters for me when it comes to gaming, and the only reason I don't hate my new monitor is because 1440 vertical pixels is quite a lot.
Office tasks? Displays with proper depth are much preferable to widescreen for office tasks. The only advantage for widescreen is multiple windows open side-by-side, hard to do on 1366x768 wouldn't you say? One of my greatest joys when I was programming was to turn my Sammy into portrait 1200x1600 to review the code. Perfect.
16:9 was forced on us by the screen and device manufacturers because it was cheaper to produce and they were/are in a race to the bottom (both in price and in quality IMO), not because it was better or because customers liked it. Customers liked it because it was cheaper. Cheaper > Better when the masses are buying.
So why was 16:9 cheaper than 4:3? Apart from TV panels helping the process, I believe it was because panel manufacturers could fit more 16:9 ratio panels through the process than the other ratios. 16:9 panels fit better on the substrate and resulted in less waste around the edges. Therefore more 16:9 panels could be made and were cheaper than 16:10 and 4:3, and therefore more price-conscious consumers bought them.
To reiterate: they were cheaper and not better, it was economics and not technology.
Icon: Paris thinks size matters as well.
Re: Torvalds
You can pry my 16:10 panels from my cold dead hands
>they were cheaper and not better
Yes. Yes, yes and Yes. And Yes.
Re: Torvalds
"Other than watching video (although I can ignore black bars), in what other respects are widescreen displays superior or more logical?"
Umm ... anything where width would be an advantage..?
I do a lot of photo processing (3:2 DSLR images, typically in landscape), and the extra width over a 4:3 display is useful - it matches the native aspect of the image, and allows for the layout of the application's toolbars and palettes (even when the image is in portrait, as the proliferation of palettes sit out of the way to the side).
I also do application development - both Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio have palettes that site to the side, and encroach by an annoying amount on the area of the screen where the code goes (yes, I could minimise them, but I use them enough for that to be annoying) - on a 19" panel, this is not a pleasant experience. I typically need multiple windows open, so I can't span the program across my pair of monitors.
For Microsoft Office & web browsing, I can't see either being better that the other, though.
Personally, I have a 20" widescreen monitor at home, and a pair of 19" 4:3 monitor at work, so the above is a direct comparison of my usage of identical applications in both environments.
Re: Torvalds
Look at most computer applications and operating systems, they have toolbars top and bottom. So if anything, a computer display should be taller not wider so as to maximise the working space on screen.
Obviously there are plenty of exceptions. IDEs often have panels on the left and right, but they still have toolbars too.
Re: Torvalds
'git repositories' - some would say that was a 'chair'.
Re: Torvalds
So why was 16:9 cheaper than 4:3?
Pythagoras - they could sell you a bigger screen with less pixels on it:
A 20" screen in 4:3 has an area of 192 in2
A 20" screen in 16:9 has an area of 171 in2
Re: Torvalds
Go by image size
Well we all know that you need a bigger diagonal with widescreen, this is why the 25" TV was replaced by the 32" 16x9 TV, same vertical height.
A 24" W/S TV looks small compared to a 24" 4x3.

It's easy to rotate your display.
Re: @HighTech4US - Torvalds
If someone is behaving like a pr*ck one is entitled to say so.
Dunno, not needing a microscope to see your screen is a good one. I'm sure you can get lots of pixels in a few microns if you're that dumb.
Some of us work at a desk and play.. games.. the last one being a novel idea to Linux kernel people I know. I'm sure Valve are super-chuffed by his machinations for one.
I'm with you streaky, have an upvote. What the hell is with 6 downvotes on streaky's post? He's absolutely right: many of us use desktops for work and play, and while I do have a Sammy Slate and it's very useful, I also find my desktop PC just as useful. And there's obviously a market still there, otherwise they wouldn't still be making motherboards, graphics cards and hard drives.
I really don't get this "tablets are the ONLY thing now, PCs are so dead" craze. You'd think owning a desktop is like smoking in public, the way people are carrying on! Tablets are great, yes - as an adjunct to the desktop workstation. But they don't replace the workstation. Try using Photoshop or Cinema 4D on a tablet sometime. Or playing games. Sometimes you just need a keyboard, mouse and a big fat monitor in front of you, and that isn't going to change.
Re: Agreed
Well most GUIs can be upscaled for people with bad eyesight. For people with normal eyesight most screens/guis are far to large. Particularly on mobile devices you want to have small text.
"Some of us work at a desk and play.. games.. the last one being a novel idea to Linux kernel people I know."
Eh ? What has the kernel to do with the display resolution ? (aside from general issues like scheduling, multi-threading etc for which the Linux kernel is already perfectly fine for gaming)
Morons like streaky are why screen resolutions haven't increased in 10 years.
The point of having so many pixels is so you do not see individual pixels. That's what Apple was advertising with the Retina branding, and what Google is now calling the Chromebook Pixel.
I don't want to see pixels. I've seen plenty of pixels. I want the pixels to be so small that I see smooth fonts and sharp pictures. That's the point of having such sharp screens.
Re: Disagreed
I don't want to see pixels. I've seen plenty of pixels. I want the pixels to be so small that I see smooth fonts and sharp pictures. That's the point of having such sharp screens.
.. and then people go and play classic arcade games..
Re: Disagreed
What does that have to do with anything?
Retro gaming is still a fairly niche thing and certainly no excuse for sticking to 1960s TV resolutions.
Uh, scaling?
You don't need to view everything 1:1 at 72dpi..
Games.. I don't see how this causes a problem, just use a lower resolution that's the same AR and have it scale up.
That said, I can't imagine many, if any, games have this AR as a selectable option, but I'm sure you can edit a config file or two to get it right. If not, as long as the system can letterbox it, a 1.6 AR option will suffice, losing you only 50 pixels top and bottom.
Re: big fat monitor in front of you
Rather pair of big fat GTX680 videocards
Re: Agreed
Absolutely right! I enjoy my iPad, but I'm waiting on a new Mac Pro (could be out in Spring, according to the rumor mill). My 2006 Mac Pro is still hauling, but it's starting to show its age. I simply prefer large monitors.
Re: Disagreed
Higher DPI screens means we can emulate CRTs all the better!
Re: Disagreed
There's a Nyquist element to it; the lower the resolution the lower the frequency of signal an image can contain — in layman's terms, lower density = less contrast. You can antialias so that the pixels aren't obvious but there's a physical limit to the amount of information you can present. When you step up to a display that includes all that extra information you probably still can't see the individual pixels but you can tell that edges are sharper and more lifelike, on text, on images and everywhere else, and you can then perceive a certain lack of sharp focus when you go back to the old display.
So it's really nothing to do with whether you can see the individual pixels or not, it's about how much information (in the digital signal processing sense) can be packed into an area and therefore how close an approximation a screen can be to actual printed text.
What the hell is with 6 downvotes on streaky's post?
Cause somone doesn't like streaky and cannot refute his comments ...
Re: What the hell is with 6 downvotes on streaky's post?
I think you need to check again, there are already some refutes. Streaky will do fine with a 10 x 6 pixels display, it seems. You and him do not understand the interpolation method and other ways of making the image sharper. Someone has explained it already.
Re: Disagreed
Your eye is a high-pass filter. I.e. the extra effort to increase pixel size comes to nothing the moment the pixels move around or have diagonal lines and curves.
Then you have to anti-alias them. So, at some point there is a trade-off between physical display density, how your eye works and computation, with a certain point of diminishing return on making the pixel smaller.
Re: Disagreed
"Morons like streaky are why screen resolutions haven't increased in 10 years"
Actually I believe you misread what I actually said. I want an ~8K 16:10/30" monitor like yesterday. Apparently I belong to a small group that knows it's already possible and the panel cartels are the ones stopping it.
I was arguing against a tiny screen being useful for everything ever. When Torvalds has RSI and is part-blind in 10 years and is bitching about it on the kernel lists we'll be having words. I remember these sorts of things.
Tiny screens aren't really useful for much, unless you really really need them. Anybody who writes lots of code and things they're super-useful patently needs their head testing.
Re: Chromebook is doing what Surface was supposed to do...
I was reading your comment with an open mind and heart, just as I like to approach any new person I meet.
It began quite OK, quite inoffensive. I neither agreed nor disagreed but I was interested in seeing out the rest.
Then I couldn't quite see the point you were making and how it was relevant, but OK . . .
Then I noticed I was screwing up my nose and upper lip in "WTF?". My nose had gotten there before I did as I was trying to wrap my head around how your argument related to actual events.
Halfway through, when my head had caught up with my clearly more intelligent nose (or at least quicker on the uptake), I wondered who was writing the comment and looked up.
I cannot believe I wasted precious seconds bothering to read your comment! What a valuable lesson I have learnt today: Always look before you read.
Re: Chromebook is doing what Surface was supposed to do...
It's normally only worth checking whether he's taken his medication or not. And maybe to remind him to attend therapy, you never know: there may be hope.
On a related note it seems we're likely to be spared Matt Asay's dribbling. Wondering who El Reg will get to replace him. Personally I'd welcome a return of Ashlee Vance's column. Didn't always agree with him but could usually follow his arguments.
Re: Chromebook is doing what Surface was supposed to do...
I'm agreeing, the first part of the comment was quite sensible, although the 'ms sucks on tablets' is what made me look. Surely sucking on anything BUT a tablet is what win 8 is famous for? Made me go read the name...

Re: Ignore Poster Option
So when are we going to get an Ignore Poster option? And what's the point of the voting system if we can't filter posts based on it?
Re: Ignore Poster Option
You can already ignore a poster, but that won't help you if someone else replies to their post. This much was learned on Usenet about 30 years ago. Ultimately, the best filter is the one between your ears. If that isn't up to the task, we can't help you.

Re: @Eadon
"The reason I am not popular here is that I know exactly what I am talking about from a technical POV, I know my onions."
If you aren't going to listen to anyone else's point of view, but think that you are always right, then why in the hell do you think anyone is going to listen to a word you say.
There's three types of people, those that don't know anything, those that know their stuff but also know they don't know everything and those that think they know it all, but demonstrate time and again that they really don't have a clue.
Options 1 & 2 are easy to get along with, option 3 isn't, as they have a steadfast belief that the world is wrong and they alone, are the only ones that are correct.
But what happens when an option 3 meets another option 3, PARADOX!!!
