Blue Bamboo's Homecoming to the Epcot Food and Wine FestivalPosted on November 6, 2011 in the Local Happenings, Resources, Updates category by Dennis Chan.
Some of you already know that my former career was a VIP tour guide for the Walt Disney World Resort. Along with that title came the responsibility of making sure that VIP guests had everything that they needed to enjoy their Walt Disney World experience. I met a lot of neat people through working the many special events that happen year-round for the Disney Company. Back in 1996 and 1997, I was one of the few lucky tour guides chosen to exclusively work the first few annual Epcot International Food and Wine Festivals.
Fast forward 15 years, and today, I took a day trip to this year's International Food and Wine Festival. I had the pleasure of attending a forum with Huma Siddiqui, a self-taught cooking instructor who was born in Pakistan, moved to London for a few years, and now lives in Madison, Wisconsin. The one thing that resonates in my mind from her discussion was her explanation of why she cooks. It's not a chore, or something she dreads. She simply does so to remind her family of her home, their family traditions, and her travels. I imagine that if she had her own restaurant, it would be just like Blue Bamboo. We call the kind of food that we make, "Hip Asian Comfort Food," because through our food, we share our traditions and flavors so that our guests may experience our restaurant's roots, great local fare, and inspirations from our travels.
After Huma's session, I attended a Champagne seminar given by an exclusive Champagne house, and a demonstration by a pastry chef from Barbados named Noah French. In the latter, the chef shared his technique for a Caribbean Shortcake with a Coconut Haupia and a Passion fruit curd that was intriguing.
This "homecoming" was a fun day, and it was refreshing to see the festival's evolution after all of these years. Look for some of the things I learned today to show up at Blue Bamboo soon.

The sneaker gets dressed up in a bunch of blues for the gridded SPRINTFRAME upper, a set that sort of crystallizes around the ankle area D-Rose logo for a frosty look. Said frostiness is also extended to the outsole in the form of a cool blue icy treatment.

Just the summary. I am still debating on signing up with BPL.
Just the summary. I am still debating on signing up with BPL.
Ounces to Grams.
www.jacksrbetter.com ... Largest supplier of camping quilts and under quilts...Home of the Original Nest Under Quilt, and Bear Mountain Bridge Hammock. 800 595 0413
I'm just worried that I'm paying for information that can be obtained for free elsewhere on the internet. Is the info on the site worth the $25?
i don't know of any printed magazine that has that kind of information. BPL.com has a printed mag they offer, but at this point i couldn't recommend it.
no doubt they are probably bias on some of the stuff they have made & sell, but even then they will usually tell you the pros & cons about their stuff.
what i like is the way they test things in a very scientific way... like types of insulation (down, wool, synthetics) in different applications, stoves, footwear, etc.
they will often give a report that is so detailed that i can't absorb it all<g>, i just skim off what i can... especially the final comparison/conclusion. point is, that they get really detailed in describing their studies, so if your looking for detailed explanation, not just what one person favors over another, BPL.com may be just the ticket for you.
also they have an active forum where you can read/ discus all the other areas of backpacking besides hammocking.
but they have several hammockers there too.
and i have no affiliation w/ BPL.com. just sharing w/ you guys what i consider a great resource.
don`t leave the CREATOR out of the creation!
Definitely worth the money, IMO. They have technical tests on all kinds of things that you can't get anywhere else. You can get the discussions for free, and you can get all kinds of opinions anywhere you look on the internet, but I haven't seen BPL-style articles anywhere else on the internet.
Can you do w/o it? Sure. But if you're gonna spend $2/month on a few hours of information and entertainment, BPL is a good place to do it.
I'm gonna renew mine eventually...I'm just not spending that much time online right now.

I think it is worth the money and I am a cheap *******. Really I am. I don't even like to pay a $0.50 toll that will save me 10 minutes of driving. My wife hates it.
But there is enough information on every kind of ultralight gear and every kind of ultralight technique to occupy many, many hours of reading. Though more information for ground sleepers than for hammockers. It's really kind of unbelievable. For example, the article being referred to in this thread is very long. But it is chock full of dozens of tips for staying warm while hiking day after day in cold rain, while still using the ultralight approach. It will take awhile for you to just to read this one article.
anyone see where BPL is offering a Lifetime Membership for 110.00 for non-members and 100.00 for members.
That could be a good deal if you really use the site a lot.
I have picked up some good buys on the gear swap forum.

Until recently, developers seeking financing for a hotel, office building, or other project had two primary options to obtain most of the funding for their project: Take out an interest-bearing loan, or find a large investor willing to fund the project in exchange for significant equity.

Je Ne Parle Pas Francais
I have no idea why it has been so long since I've worn this dress, it's one of my favorites. I also love that hoodie. I got it at Old Navy a while ago and I love the tuxedo like ruffles on the front.
I'm having my first socially over-busy week in a really long time. I have something every night this week. When we were both working, it was like this all the time. But since we don't have a lot of spare money, we go out a lot less. It's nice. The week goes by so much faster this way. But its only Wednesday and I am SO TIRED. So old.

New Moon was my least favorite of the books too.
It was weird for me to watch the wolves always shirtless, I felt like a pervert since they are so young.
Love the outfit today. I am really loving these over the knee socks you have been wearing, I am going to have to get me some soon.

I love that dress and all the layering you've done with it. It makes it look so tough and girly at the same time.
I loved New Moon. I could have done without the "Fabio" moment after Bella crashed her bike, but it was certainly amusing. New Moon was my least favourite book as well, and I found Jacob so annoying in print. But in the movie, I think he's actually more appealing than Edward.

Taraji P Henson is an American actress and singer. Widely popular for her role as Cookie Lyon in the FOX hit musical series "Empire", Henson first gained recognition in the early 2000's for her role in comedy drama "Baby Boy". Her vast contributions to Hollywood over the past two decades brings her net worth to an estimated $16 million.
Taraji P Henson Net Worth: How She Started
Taraji Penda Henson was born on September 11, 1970 in Washington, D.C. Though her parents divorced when she was just 2 years old, they both remained active and well involved in her upbringing. She has particularly credited her father for providing her with adequate moral support during her childhood. Taraji developed a passion for theater at a very early age. After an unsuccessful attempt to enroll in a performance arts high school, she later attended Oxon Hill, Maryland from where she graduated in 1988.
After high school, Taraji thought she'd try her hands on something other than theater. She attended college at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University where she studied Electrical Engineering. Who would've guessed? However, after she failed pre-calculus in her freshman year, she knew it was either theater or nothing else. Taraji transferred to Howard University and begun her studies in drama.
At this point, she was faced with the challenge of paying for tuition. To over come the hurdle, determined Taraji had to work two jobs; there was no stopping her from her dreams of becoming an actress. In the day, she would work as a secretary at the Pentagon while in the evenings she'd wow guests at Spirit of Washington cruise-ship with her amazing voice. Thanks to her outstanding display of talents at Howard including dancing, Taraji was able to earn the "Tripple Threat Scholarship" and in 1995 she graduated with a degree in theater.
Taraji P Henson Net Worth: Acting Career Beginnings & Breakthrough
Shortly after graduation, Taraji was set to begin making her mark in the entertainment industry. She moved to Los Angeles with her son (she had gotten pregnant for her high school sweetheart in her junior year) and began auditioning. Per reports, the single mother at the time had her bank balance reading just $700.
In 1997, about two years after college graduation, Taraji landed her first professional gig in the WB sitcom "Smart Guy". She portrayed Mo'Nique for three episodes until 1998. Next up was role in another sitcom "Sister Sister" and then NBC hit medical drama ER.
After two movie features, Taraji landed her breakthrough starring role as Yvette in 2001 comedy-drama "Bad Boy" which was a box office success. She received a $65,000 paycheck for her role. This was followed by movies like "Enough" (2002) and "Hair Show" (2004). At this point, Taraji's bank balance had received quite the boost. Her purchase of a cozy Spanish style dig in Glendale, LA for $431,000 in 2002, revealed just how lucrative her numerous gigs were. However, in 2015 after over a decade living in the 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom house, the actress put it up for rent charging, $3,400 per month.
Taraji P Henson Net Worth: More Hollywood Success
Taraji got another breakthrough in 2004 for her role as Shug in "Hustle & Flow" opposite her now Empire costar Terrence Howard. "Hustle & Flow" wasn't only a box office hit but a recipient of two Oscar nominations winning one for Best Song for its soundtrack "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" which was sung by Taraji.
Taraji further established herself in Hollywood with acclaimed roles in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008) alongside Brad Pitt of which she received an Oscar and SAG nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Taraji's other acclaimed and successful movies include two of Tyler Perry's production; "The Family That Preys" (2008) and "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" (2009), "Karate Kid" (2010), "Taken from Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story" (2011) which brought her an Emmy nomination, "Think Like A Man" (2012) and "No Good Deed" (2014).
While being prolific on the big screen, Taraji wasn't quiet on the small screen either. She made notable appearances in "The Division" which paid her $22,000 per episode, "Boston Legal" and "Person of Interest".
Taraji P Henson Net Worth: Empire TV Series
Perhaps her most popular role yet both in TV and film is that of Cookie Lyon on FOX's musical drama series Empire. Cookie, sorry Taraji was chosen to star as one of the main roles months after her role on CBS show "Person of Interest" ended. Empire has become wildly popular thanks to the story line considered by many as "unique", as well as the excellent acting of its cast, Taraji inclusive.
She received a Primetime Emmy Award in 2015 and 2016 for Best Outstanding Lead Actress in Drama Series. In 2016, Taraji became the third African-American woman ever to win a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Television Series Drama.
Taraji P Henson Net Worth: Endorsements
Big brands are synonymous with popular celebrities. Taraji's new found global fame landed her an endorsement deal with make up giant MAC. Under the brand, Henson launched her own line called The #MACTaraji Collection in August 2016. Retail began in September 2016 from $17 to $42.

MULTAN: President Asif Ali Zardari made a spirited defence of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Saturday, putting down a "barrage of false allegations" against him to his commitment to creation of a Seraiki province.
During a meeting with parliamentarians and delegations of People's Party from Multan division, Mr Zardari cited the "fabrication" of a case against Ali Musa Gilani, the prime minister's son, in the ephedrine import scam to buttress his assertions about a "witch-hunt against" Mr Gilani.
The President also made a significant statement on the province issue, saying that he had authorised Mr Gilani to begin efforts for "consensus-building" by reaching out to major political players.
"Seraiki province will be created by the present government before the general election and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani himself will make the announcement," he said.
The creation of Seraiki province would be a great setback for the PML-N, Mr Zardari observed.
He said since the creation of Pakistan, the Seraiki region had been deprived of its rights and wondered that "if we do not give rights to the people of this area, who will do so".
"People could join terrorist groups or small political parties by isolating themselves if they are denied their rights. This will weaken the country," the President remarked. "Creation of a Seraiki province is not a political issue but a matter of safeguarding integrity of the country." He said that to make the Seraiki province viable there was a need to include some non-Seraiki districts, too.
He said although he had ceded presidential powers voluntarily, the chief minister of Punjab was clinging to many ministries.
In reply to a question about loadshedding, he said "we will not go into election until we ensure availability of electricity for 24 hours".
Asif Zardari said the tribal area of southern Punjab (Rajanpur and Dera Ghazi Khan) would be given the status of "A" area and he had directed the interior ministry to submit a report to him in this regard.

We arrived from Girona airport. You can either get a taxi for about 60€ or the bus like we did. You get the bus from the airport (turn right as you exit) which costs 2.75€ to the bus station. They run on the half hour and back on the hour. From there the bus will stop outside the hotel for about 6€.
The location was beautiful with the advantage of being 15 mins walk from the town. Very pretty beach and surroundings. Basic room was very clean and tasteful. Air con worked well and was quiet.
Good selection at breakfast with a take away breakfast for our early departure.
The spa was good with 3 types of showers, (really liked the aroma shower!) sauna, steam room and large jacuzzi. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
Car parking is 10€ a day, although you can park opposite. Sunbeds and umbrellas are 5€ each on the beach which can add to your budget for longer stays.
Altogether a really enjoyable stay and would return if going back to the area.

System Boots to wrong drive
I have two hard drives in my Win 7 Pro Computer one is a boot driver with programs and the other is a data drive.
On several occassions now the computer attempts to boot to the data drive. I have had to go into the SETUP and change the drive sequence and the correct drive to boot to.
Any information or suggestions to eliminate this problem will be appreciated.

You more than likely have 2 instances of Windows showing on the boot choice screen and the 1st instance is in the primary position (i.e. you installed it last) so if you do not choose the 2nd instance prior to the timeout (DEFAULT is 30 seconds and won't change unless you did this) it boots to the primary, you can change this by typing msconfig>boot>change the other sequence to DEFAULT.

No, I do not get a boot choice screen. It simply boots to the data drive (no windows on it) and goes into the check disk mode. If I reset the proper boot drive all is ok. This is the second time this happened that is why I am checking on a possible fix.

This is a silly problem to be having. I have two operating systems in a dual boot system. Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, C drive, (where I am trying to run the backup from) and Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit (I drive). It used to work fine, I think round about 4 weeks ago or so. I am not sure...

WIndows 7 dual boot with XP, boots from wrong drive
Hi. I installed windows 7 x64 RC a while back, and it detected windows xp and set up a dual boot. All was well. I had a PSU failure, and i replaced the PSU. I set the BIOS to boot from the drive with windows 7 on it. It wouldn't boot. I set the bios to boot from the drive with windows Xp on...

The alphabet soup of wireless networking -- a dish that most users learned to digest only in the past couple of years -- is getting a few new letters. This latest addition to the recipe promises faster data transfers over wider areas for your home computers, but it comes with a catch: It's based on a standard that, technically speaking, doesn't exist yet.
This new crop of WiFi devices goes by a couple of names -- "MIMO" (short for "multiple in, multiple out," pronounced "my-mo") and "Pre-n" (which refers to the "802.11n" protocol that's still well over a year from being finished). Their differences are more marketing than anything. Since so many people in the industry expect 802.11n to be built on MIMO technology, some employ the term "Pre-n" to imply that their products are closer to that future -- even when they run on the same basic third-party chips as the merely-MIMO hardware of other firms.
To confuse things just a bit more, vendors will sometimes use their own brand names, such as "RangeMax" and "SRX," instead of either term. (For now, I'm sticking with MIMO.)
By any name, all of these devices offer the same mix of benefits and risks: By using more than one radio signal at once and using special software to shepherd these overlapping transmissions, they can vastly exceed the maximum speed and range of current WiFi. (They all support the established 802.11b and 802.11g WiFi standards.)
Based on what I saw in testing MIMO hardware from three vendors, Belkin Corp., Linksys and Netgear Inc., this technology does deliver on those promises, especially in terms of range. But they cost between two and three times as much as standard WiFi gear, and many users won't get any benefit out of the added performance the high price brings. Plus, every user tempted by the lure of getting a jump on the next big thing in wireless should first ponder the chance that the purchase could turn into a pumpkin later on.
For my tests, I borrowed a MIMO access point and a PC Card laptop adapter from each manufacturer: Belkin's Wireless Pre-N Router ($160) and Wireless Pre-N Notebook Network Card ($110); Linksys's Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX ($199) and Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX ($129); and Netgear's RangeMax Wireless Router ($149) and RangeMax Wireless PC Card ($99). Then I checked to see how fast these combinations of hardware could send files and how far they would let me roam with a laptop.
The ads for this genre of devices suggest they'll have you blasting files back and forth at more than 100 million bits per second (Mbps), faster than most wired networks. But MIMO, like every other kind of WiFi, loses most of that potential to interference and overhead. That's why my existing 802.11g WiFi network at home, which must pass through a floor and a plaster wall or two, can ship a file at about five Mbps via standard Windows file sharing -- about a fourth of its theoretical peak performance. The MIMO devices, tested under the same conditions, ranged from 13 to 23 Mbps, or about a fourth of their theoretical peak.
The Belkin combo ran the slowest, at about 13 Mbps; Netgear performed at 15 and 19 Mbps in success tests; Linksys did best, at 21 and 23 Mbps. When I mixed and matched different brands of access point and receiver, the access point broadcasting the signal determined the overall speed -- the Linksys unit remained the fastest even when linked to a Belkin or Netgear receiver.
Those speeds will save you time when shuffling large files from one computer to the next, but they're probably not quick enough for reliable video sharing -- much less using a wireless network to beam an HDTV signal from room to room.
And if you need to share only a broadband Internet connection throughout your home, even the oldest flavor of WiFi, 802.11b, is more than fast enough.
The MIMO technology in these companies' access points delivered a much bigger benefit when I tested the reach of their signals. With my old 802.11g access point, a Dell Dimension laptop with an Intel Centrino 802.11g receiver could go no farther than about 40 yards.
Popping each MIMO receiver into a test laptop's PC Card slot made a huge difference. The Netgear receiver and access point combined for a 75-yard range, while the Belkin and Linksys hardware each hit about 100 yards. (Two out of three times, Belkin's receiver appeared to crash the test laptop once it lost the signal.)
Better yet, I saw the same range using that Dell laptop's existing receiver. Even an old IBM ThinkPad with just an 802.11b receiver lengthened its leash with a MIMO access point -- 50 yards instead of the 20 it managed on an 802.11g network.
But there's one problem with those figures (well, besides the fact that it's impossible not to look like a kook when you hold a laptop open while slowly walking down a street): How many people actually need to use a laptop 100 yards away, or even 50?
The biggest issue with all these products, though, is their long-term compatibility. Although the Belkin, Linksys and Netgear devices all worked with one another (with some tinkering), the same can't be said for products to be built on the final 802.11n standard. Because that set of rules is so far off in the distance, none of these manufacturers will make any guarantee that the products can ever be upgraded to it.
The risk is not that a MIMO device will self-destruct when 802.11n hardware shows up on the nearest store shelves -- it's that future devices will send data still faster and farther. MIMO or Pre-n devices will wind up looking more like souped-up 802.11g gear.
Until that picture gets settled, consider a couple of cheaper ways to solve the problems that MIMO aims to tackle. A too-slow network can be accelerated by replacing an 802.11b access point with one that uses 802.11g; a "g" network, in turn, can get a further speed boost by upgrading any "b" laptops to use "g" receivers, then switching the network to run in 802.11g mode only.
As for distance, adding a second 802.11g access point and setting that to run as a repeater may patch any holes in your network for $50 or so.
Only if those two measures don't work should you consider upgrading to a MIMO setup -- and even then, start with just a MIMO access point, since it should offer about the same coverage boost with your existing hardware.
The risk attached to buying a MIMO product should decline over time, as the 802.11n standard gets closer to the finish line. But while they continue the patient work of testing and improving this technology, I'd like to suggest another area in far more desperate need of work: the awful setup programs these companies inflict on their users, which continue to throw around jargon heedlessly while making it far too easy to leave a network wide open to the public. Fixing those problems would improve WiFi far more than adding yet another letter to the wireless alphabet.
