Party down with your cylindrical fountains
And keep a hose nearby
We are in yet another extremely dry and dangerous fire season here in New Mexico. Because of this, Bernalillo County and Albuquerque officials restricted the use of fireworks. But they can't ban them completely. Read about why in this week's NewsCity.
The Albuquerque Fire Department announced that the sale and use of aerial fireworks and ground audible devices are prohibited within city limits. It is illegal to use any fireworks in the Bosque or any Open Space area. AFD advises that fireworks should only be used on paved or barren areas and with a readily available water source.
The only permissible fireworks are ground and handheld sparkling devices, cone fountains, crackling devices, cylindrical fountains, flitter sparklers, ground spinners, illuminating torches and wheels.
In 2011, AFD responded to more than 945 illegal fireworks calls during the Fourth of July weekend. Albuquerque Fire Chief James Breen says, "Any one of these incidents could have turned into a deadly fire just because somebody was acting carelessly."
Bernalillo County issued fireworks restrictions for all unincorporated parts of the county. Bernalillo banned the sale and use of fireworks that shoot sparks or pieces higher than 10 feet or further than a 6-foot radius, or are louder than a cap gun.
Last year, both Gov. Martinez and Mayor Richard Berry became frustrated with their inability to ban fireworks completely. They both lobbied the Legislature unsuccessfully to pass a bill that would allow local authorities to completely ban fireworks during extreme fire danger.
Two major wildfires have already destroyed large areas of the state. The Whitewater-Baldy Complex in the Gila Wilderness is the largest fire in size in state history. The Little Bear fire in Lincoln County near Ruidoso destroyed hundreds of homes.

Memorial University has officially named the new residence complex on its St. John's campus. The 500-bed facility has been named Macpherson College and its two wings are Cluett Hall and Shiwak Hall. The names chosen for the new complex commemorate the efforts of two Newfoundlanders and one Labradorian who served during the First World War. The complex, Macpherson College, was named for Dr. Cluny Macpherson, who invented the gas mask used by British/Newfoundland troops, and whose family farm once occupied the land on which Memorial's St. John's campus sits today.

Posts from Dessert
Recipe: Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Recipes from The Kitchn
Banana bread is one of those recipes with a thousand different versions floating around the internet and in books. It's such a classic recipe that I always find it hard to improve upon all the variations that have come before.
However, I'm rather picky about my banana bread — I like it with whole wheat flour, maple syrup, and walnuts. (Always walnuts!) Here's the version of whole-wheat banana bread I've finally settled on in my kitchen.
A La Mode! 5 Desserts That Are Even Better with Ice Cream
Recipes from The Kitchn
If I've already made the decision to have dessert, then the question of whether or not to have it a la mode is a no-brainer. Yes, please! There's something about ice cream that makes each sweet bite that much better. Here are five desserts beyond the traditional apple pie a la mode that are begging to be topped with a scoop of ice cream.
Recipe: Chai Creamsicles
Recipes from The Kitchn
I like to tease people when they ask for "chai tea" at coffee shops. In India, chai = tea, so by saying chai tea, you're just saying 'tea tea'. Nothing wrong with that, mind, as chai is so delicious, everyone wants to say it twice, right?
Chai is also so delicious that it should not be reserved for just the cold winter months. These chai creamsicles are an easy way to jazz up your winter drink for hot summer days.
5 Tasty Ways to Use Leftover Whipped Cream
Tips from The Kitchn
Leftover whipped cream. It happens from time to time. Not a lot, but every now again. And let's be honest, it's not exactly the worst problem to have.
Last week I talked about my new favorite (and super easy!) way to make whipped cream using just a mason jar. My excitement for this mind blowing trick got the best of me and it wasn't long before I had more whipped cream than I knew what do to with. Like, a lot more.
How To Make Dreamy Dairy-Free Vegan Ice Cream
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
First off, I promise you there are no tricks to this ice cream. This isn't "ice cream" in quotation marks. You're not going to get your hopes up only to have them dashed with a bowl of icy, flavorless frozen dairy substitutes. This vegan ice cream is the real deal.
Yes, it's creamy. Yes, it tastes like a real dessert that you'd drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with nuts. Yes, it's dairy-free and vegan too (no eggs!). Here's what you need to know.
Summer Recipe: No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake
Recipes from The Kitchn
Can You Really Make Whipped Cream with Just a Mason Jar?
Putting Tips to the Test in The Kitchn
Can it really be possible to make homemade whipped cream with just a mason jar?
No tired arm from whisking. No lugging the stand mixer out just to make a few dollops of whipped cream. No beaters to wash, or immersion blender to clean. Instead, there's a method as simple as pouring whipping cream in a jar, sealing the lid nice & tight and giving it a good shake. Kind of sounds too good to be true, right?!
Hot Fudge & Beyond: 9 Sauces to Drizzle Over Ice Cream
Recipes from The Kitchn
Probably the easiest and most welcome dessert in the summertime is a big bowl of ice cream, drizzled with hot fudge. It's so simple to bring out a quart of decent store-bought ice cream, but serving it with a homemade sauce really puts it over the top and transforms it from a weeknight dessert into something extra-special.
Here are nine delicious sauces, from essential hot fudge to an Oreo twist on the classic, and for you maximalists, a creamy candy bar sauce. Want to go lighter and fresher? Warm raspberry or fresh cherry is where it's at.
How To Make 2-Ingredient Nutella Brownies
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Seriously, is there anything Nutella can't do? It's already basically the most amazing substance known to human kind, and now you tell me that I can mix Nutella with just one ingredient to make a batch of fudgy, chewy brownies?
I know — if I hadn't tried it myself, I wouldn't believe me either. But here's exactly how you, too, can make these magical 2-ingredient brownies for yourself.
Recipe: Lemon-Lime Curd with Rosemary Sables
Recipes from The Kitchn
Sometimes you just need a moment to treat yourself. Whether that be a nice, breezy walk outside, a superb homemade latté (I'm talking with real steamed milk here), or a special snack. These buttery cookies with citrus curd are just that treat.
Forcing yourself to take a beat out of a busy day in order to sit down and swirl the luscious curd onto each buttery cookies allows you to savor the moment — as well as each delectable crumb. Might as well pull out that favorite vintage tea cup too and create your own, private tea time. You deserve it.

In Oregon's Action Plan for Health, the Oregon Health Policy Board calls for the development of an initial set of 10 Oregon-based best practice guidelines and standards. The intent is to build upon the high standards of evidence evaluation used in the development of guidelines and health technology assessments by HERC and other trusted sources, creating a process that will allow evidence-based practices to be applied rapidly and uniformly across public and private settings to reduce unnecessary care and drive down costs.

This bizarre ultra-realistic looking Steve Jobs action figure is only for true Die-Hard Apple fans
Steve Jobs changed the way the world perceived technology and during his time as co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc. he amassed a fan base and following comparable to any top tier Hollywood celebrity, sports team or perhaps even religion.
There were a number of tributes following his death in October last year, most notably in the form of the Post-it note covered Apple retail stores, but now the most devoted of fans have a somewhat more unusual new way to immortalize their favorite technological visionary in the form of this eerily accurate action figure.

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Galveston, Texas
Duncan, Ok
Labor Day 2012 at Pirates Beach
September 5, 2012
We were impressed with the cleanliness and wonderful a/c at the home. The location was excellent and w/in walking distance to a pretty beach. The beds were comfortable and the owner had supplied all we would need: paper towels, soap, towels, beach towels, etc. Would recommend this to anyone as we had no surprises and enjoyed the weekend.

Sunny Getaway
August 28, 2012
This sunshine yellow beach home is a perfect get-away. We loved the layout. The spacious master suite with king-size bed, adjoining bathroom, and tasteful decor served as a well-deserved calm retreat for my daughter and her "new" baby. The boys (ages 7 to 12... his/hers/friends') were beyond excited about having the double-bunk room all to themselves where they could fall asleep watching videos on the "personal sized" TV. Gramma (ummm... me) was perfectly content having a queen-size bed all to myself in the 3rd bedroom. With the throw pillows removed, the sofa in the living area is easily an extra-long twin-size -- perfect for a tall lanky person or even two "shorties" to sleep toe-to-toe. Plenty of room (and seating) for families and friends to relax inside in the large kitchen/dining/living area and outside under the carport, on the main deck, or "top deck". There's a small smoker downstairs and enough pots & pans and dinnerware to prepare a feast and set pretty tables upstairs on the deck and in the inside dining area as well. Vacationers need bring only their clothes, food, and beach towels! We LOVED this sunny getaway!

Great Stay!(:
May 4, 2012
This house was rented for a small gathering with 8 friends and it was great! It had anything that you will need to make your stay pleasurable. It was only a short distance from the beach which was great! The patio was great to be outdoor and enjoy the day/night away. I would definitely recomend this home. Great price and just all around fun place to stay.

Fun Family Vacation!
July 30, 2010
We had a wonderful time at this home. It was very nice and clean inside. The kitchen was great! The view from the porch is nice, and the beach is steps away. Everything is provided, but we had to bring our own paper products and soap, and wash our own linens - the only reasons this is not a five star review!

Following a highly competitive tendering process a joint bid by the Centre for Local Policy Studies (CLPS) and CLES is now examining the impact of Government policy on voluntary sector equalities groups in the North West. There will be a series of roundtables in May seeking to understand the impact on equalities strands across the North West and gain a more in-depth understanding through three case-study areas.
To discuss any of the above please contact Warren Escadale, VSNW's Policy and Research Manager.
Thanks to everyone who attended the VSNW Conference & AGM on 15th October. Some of the presentations are now available
Two of the six case studies looking into how voluntary organisations can be sustainable are from Blackburn with Darwen. These provide valuable lessons for thinking about the future direction of the sector in public service delivery.
The independent inquiry panel, which included Richard Caulfield, VSNW Chief Executive and which was funded by Public Health England, has published its final report
Regional Voices (of which VSNW is a member) has published the full report from the survey conducted earlier this year about how the voluntary and community sector is engaging with health and wellbeing boards
Please join us on 15th October for an interesting day of debate and discussion on the latest issues affecting the voluntary and community sector in the North West. The day will include a series of workshops and two great keynote speakers. Thanks to Charity Bank for their sponsorship of the conference

The Arc of Steuben is seeking vendors for its annual holiday shopping bazaar.
This year's bazaar will be held Friday, Dec. 5, at the Arc of Steuben's Industrial Park complex, 1 Arc Way, off Route 54 between Bath and Hammondsport. Set-up for vendors will be at 11 a.m. The bazaar will be open for shopping from noon to 3:30 p.m.
The cost for vendors is $20. All proceeds from vendor fees will go toward purchasing gifts for children on the agency's angel tree and the Incredible Angels self-advocacy group.
For more information contact Linda Whitson-Jones at 776.4146 ext. 2126.
Rodney Pragle, of Avoca, has been named the Associate of the Month for October.
Rodney, a Direct Support Professional, was nominated because his quick actions prevented a potential medical catastrophe. One of the individuals at the Geneva Street home was sucking on a hard candy when the candy became lodged in his throat, preventing him from breathing. Rodney immediately recognized the individual was choking and performed the Heimlich maneuver.
The individual coughed up the candy and was taken to the emergency room as a precautionary measure.
The parents of the individual wrote a letter recommending Rodney for Associate of the Month.
"Due to Rodney's quick action and being able to do the Heimlich, we feel that Rodney saved (our son's) life," the nomination letter said. "If Rodney had hesitated or wasn't sure what to do, we don't think (our son) would be with us today. We greatly appreciate what Rodney did. The action taken reaffirms us that (our son) is being well taken care of by caring staff."
Other individuals nominated for October Associate of the Month include Ashley Spencer, Direct Support Professional, Shanna Gardner, Controller, and Stacey Rodbourn, Service Coordinator.
The Arc of Steuben will be hosting a free information session entitled "Knowing Someone With Autism" from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, at the Arc of Steuben's Industrial Park complex, 6838 Industrial Park Road, between Bath and Hammondsport.
The session will include an overview of the history of autism, the new Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis criteria, a general overview of communication, social, repetitive behavior and sensory impairments within the spectrum and common strategies for dealing with each impairment.
Presenters will include members of the Arc of Steuben's Sensory Tools and Autism Resources team.
Register by visiting www.eventbrite.com/e/knowing-someone-with-autism-tickets-13785509831
or call Darla Roote at 607.776-4146 ext. 2222.
Eliza Miller, Quality Enhancement Specialist, has been named the Arc of Steuben's Instructor of the Month for October.
Eliza was nominated for the Personal Allowance and Finance course she recently taught at the Adsit, Elm and Pearl street homes.
"She went above and beyond not only to present the information in a way that made it apply specifically to my job, but also to take the time to help each person individually if they were struggling," Eliza's nomination letter said. "You can tell that she loves her job and takes pride in doing a good job. She's an asset to the Arc."
Also nominated for October was Matt Mehlenbacher, Quality Enhancement Director/Corporate Compliance Officer. Mehlenbacher was nominated for the Strategies for Crisis Intervention and Prevention (SCIP) training he recently provided at the Arc of Steuben's Pearl Street home.
The Arc of Steuben's Giving Back Club is compiling kitchen starter kits to be distributed to local domestic abuse shelters. They are currently seeking dinner plates and silverware for the kits.
Anyone who has dinner plates or silverware to donate can drop them off at the Arc of Steuben's Industrial Park complex, 6838 Industrial Park Road, Bath.
For more information, email Lisa Rosekrans at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Self-Advocacy Association of New York State will be holding its annual self-advocacy conference Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 at the Marriott Hotel in Albany.

Well, I seem to be on track and doing quite well. Just need to stick with it and remember my goal!
I need some motivation!! I am pretty good about getting my workouts in and don't eat "terribly" bad but just can't seem to get that scale to budge. I thought maybe if I start writing, it would help me. I know that my b-c meds aren't helping but I figured by now I'd be used to them and would start losing again! If anyone has some good suggestions, I'm open to ideas! Please help!!

Ehlen, P., M.F. Schober, and Frederick G. Conrad. 2007. "Modeling speech disfluency to predict conceptual misalignment in speech survey interfaces." Discourse Processes, 44(3): 245-265.
Computer-based interviewing systems could use models of respondent disfluency behaviors to predict a need for clarification of terms in survey questions. This study compares simulated speech interfaces that use two such models-a generic model and a stereotyped model that distinguishes between the speech of younger and older speakers-to several non-modeling speech interfaces in a task where respondents provided answers to survey questions from fictional scenarios. The modeling procedure found that the best predictor of conceptual misalignment was a critical Goldilocks range for response latency-hat is, a response time that is neither too slow nor too fast-outside of which responses are more likely to be conceptually misaligned. Different Goldilocks ranges are effective for younger and older speakers.

Marie writes: If you're like me, you enjoy the convenience of email while lamenting the lost romance of ink and pen on paper. For while it's possible to attach a drawing, it's not the same thing as receiving hand-drawn artwork in the mail. Especially when it's from Edward Gorey..."Edward Gorey and Peter Neumeyer met in the summer of 1968. Gorey had been contracted by Addison-Wesley to illustrate "Donald and the...", a children's story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Gorey's shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. In a hospital waiting room, they pored over Gorey's drawings for the first time together, and Gorey infused the situation with much hilarity. This was the beginning of an invigorating friendship, fueled by a wealth of letters and postcards that sped between the two men through the fall of 1969."

Are you a true success? The answer to that question will depend upon the standard you use in measuring yourself. God's standard or the Worlds! If we use God's standard we'll notice that God cares about "What we are" while the World cares only about "What we have." Salvation comes only through God's grace in Jesus Christ but there are three easily discernable ways by which we can assess whether or not even as a Christians we are headed in the direction of Kingdom success!Read more...

How to Make Your Dialogue Snap, Crackle and Pop
A Craft Chat with Erica Ferencik
Written or screen dialogue is not what we hear in daily life. Unlike everyday chatter, every word of dialogue on the page or the stage should sound spontaneous and lifelike, as well as resonate with characterization and meaning. No easy feat! We all know how quickly bad dialogue can sink a book, play or film, while good dialogue can raise the experience to a new level of enjoyment and excellence.
Please join author Erica Ferencik on Tuesday, December 2 at 7:30pm for an informal discussion including tips and techniques for improving your dialogue: how to make it ring true, reveal character, create tension, add depth through subtext, and more. Learn more about Erica at www.ericaferencik.com.

This event is free and open to all.

Jada Pinkett Smith
The petite half of one of Hollywood's most prominent power couples got her start studying dance at the Baltimore School For The Arts alongside Tupac Shakur and as Miss Maryland 1988. She quit attending the North Carolina School of Arts when friend Keenan Ivory Wayans found her an agent. While she got her big break first in TV on the "Cosby" spinoff "A Different World" in 1991, she quickly made the switch to film and wouldn't return to the small screen full-time until 2009's "Hawthorne," a TNT series on which she played a nurse. While she has done a few comedies ("The Nutty Professor", the "Madagascar" franchise, "A Low Down Dirty Shame." "Kingdom Come"), her bread and butter has been roles of a more serious variety in films like "Menace II Society" (1993), "Scream 2," the "Matrix" sequels, "Collateral" and "Reign Over Me." In 1997, she became royalty when she married Fresh Prince Will Smith and they welcomed son Jaden in 1998 and daughter Willow in 2000. The couple started Overbrook Entertainment, through which she has produced projects like the 2003-2007 TV series "All Of Us" and the recent documentary "Free Angela and All Political Prisoners" as well as vehicles for her children like "The Karate Kid" remake and "After Earth." The current "Gotham" baddie is a part-owner in the skincare line Carol's Daughter and fronts a heavy metal band called Wicked Wisdom, which released its first CD in 2006.

The Yeego experience was user-friendly, quick and efficient. I'm still amazed at how you get such good hotel deals. Many of your competitors don't seem to beat you on price and value for money.
Most notably I like Yeegos price quotes for an entire stay, not quotes based on the average nightly price like so many other hotel reservation websites do.

Are there frozen veg that you do not like?
I remember growing up and whenever frozen veg were put in front of me I became very unhappy. They always seemed to be overcooked. Over the years I grew a tolerance for some of them except carrots. I don't know what it is but I cannot eat frozen carrots in any meal. They taste so fake to me. It becomes another annoyance when you go to a restaurant and pay good money and they serve frozen veg. Anyway are there any frozen veg that you just do not like?
IMHO, frozen broccoli is awful - soggy stems and mushy tips.
Frozen potatoes not so good - chalky.
I agree with you about the carrots. They always taste vaguely like their packaging.
I love peppers, and buy them in bulk when on sale. I dice and flash-freeze those I can't use in a timely manner, but I'm never thrilled with their texture. A bit mushy, which means their use is dedicated to stews and such. I've never had them store-bought though.
In the main, I've just gotten pickier about the types of frozen vegetables I buy from various labels. There are some serviceable-to-very-nice frozen green beans, spinach, and edamame out there, and then there are *awful* bags, of stuff picked too early, or used past their prime, that are just waiting to sabotage a meal because I wanted to save a dollar.
Okra is another one I've never had success with outside of a soup or stew, where the texture doesn't stand out too much.
re: onceadaylily
We went through a couple month phase of buying frozen edamame from Trader Joes. It was pretty good (although I don't think I've tried any other frozen edamame).
It's much qucker to list the ones that I do, but particularly icky to me are frozen bell peppers. They're just wrong.
re: EWSflash
So true! I LOVE fresh green beans but frozen? Not so much. Same with carrots and broccoli because their texture changes so drastically (and not in a good way).
re: EWSflash
The TJ's frozen hericot verts are surprisingly good.
re: EWSflash
Frozen green beans are one of mine as well. And what bugs me most of all is that they seem to pick the woodiest of them to put in frozen stir-fry vegetables, which I occasionally use. The bags seem to be half green beans sometimes. Another peeve of mine is in general, monster sized vegetables in "ready to serve" packages.
re: mrbigshotno.1
Amen. Frozen corn has an off-taste to me and a weird texture. My corn plants are nearly ready for harvesting. I get a big pot of boiling water ready, add just a touch of sugar to it, then go & pull off some ears of corn, clean, and happy eating with chipotle butter in just minutes. If it's not growing season, I'll take canned corn over frozen any day.
Many, in fact, there are only few frozen vegetables I actually like. Frozen broccoli is bad like drongo said. Frozen green beans are bad.... etc. Ultimately, it has to do with how you want your finishing dish to be. If your goal is to make a bowl of slow cooking soft and soggy vegetables, then many frozen vegetables may do. However, if you want crispy saute/stir-fried vegetables, then almost none of the frozen vegetables work.
re: Chemicalkinetics
peas are about the only thing I'll keep on hand in the freezer - and even then, it's to use in something else. I don't remember the last time I made steamed, buttered frozen peas. (I have, however, an inexplicable fondness for LeSeuer canned peas, preferably right out of the can.)
I think back to some of the frozen veg we ate growing up in the name of variety -- Brussels sprouts, lima beans, asparagus, spinach -- it's all foul when frozen, but I'll wrassle you for any of 'em fresh.
re: sunshine842
I eat those peas straight out of the can, too. The shame.
re: invinotheresverde
I knew I liked you. ;)
re: sunshine842
My other straight-outta-the-can food is even worse: Campbell's Vegetarian Vegetable soup, undiluted (obviously). Hello salt!
Okra , green peas and corn are the only frozen veggies I like and I only use them in soups and stews, except the corn whicj sometimes winds up cornbread or pancakes. Everything else tastes like plastic, especialy broccoli and carrots ;P
re: ipsedixit
I was talking to a VERY Greek friend the other day, who swears by frozen spinach (thawed then strained) for Spanikopita.
I figured they wouldn't do anything but fresh, but was surprised to hear that.
re: flynntastic
Once you boil it, chop it, squeeze it and bake in in a dough, I figure the flavor of fresh spinach is so far gone you might as well use frozen.
re: flynntastic
unless you grow it yourself, you'd need a huge mess of it.
Unless I freeze them myself, the only ones I use are peas and corn. The rest have a styrofoamness that turns me off.
I will readily admit I am spoiled by he availability of fresh vegetables year round. I hate mushy veg and no matter what brand frozen I have tried (brand name, store brand, etc.), almost all frozen veg come out mushy when cooked. Some firmer ones are exceptions, like peas, corn, carrots, and green beans. I can also take frozen limas, but I have to take them alone, as DW won't touch them.
I like most frozen veggies, but I'm not a fan of frozen mushrooms. They're inevitably soggy and mushy.
I like all of them. Not going to bother arguing that they're all inferior to fresh ones, because they are, but I like them because I'm willing to accept the sacrifice in order to have them in the first place. Something like fresh spinach is great, but I rarely buy fresh and mostly go for the frozen, because of most of my uses I only need a bit here and there.
This is easy. I hate all of them except frozen peas, which definitely have their uses.
Fresh is soo much better than frozen, for just about all veggies. The texture absolutely suffers with freezing.
Sad but true story: I typically nuke fresh brocolli with a few dabs of salted butter. The residual water left from rinsing acts to steam it in about four minutes. All I do is put in in a bowl with plastic wrap. Really not what you would call "cooking". My daughter's friend went home to tell her mom to ask me for the "recipe" because it was the best brocolli she ever ate. You have no idea how surprised her mom was to discover that the only secret was FRESH brocolli and butter. Nuked, no less. I rest my case.
Frozen peas are pretty good, and green beans are all right if you are making a vegetable soup or a casserole like a pot pie. Do potatoes count as a vegetable? Because frozen shredded hash browns are in many cases better than fresh.
That's it though, everything else is pretty terrible.
I think one of the problems of some frozen vegetables is that all of the ones that were sub-standard to begin with, often end up in the bags. Or you'll buy something like broccoli, and the bag contains nothing but stumps etc.
Carrots and green beans I think are my major ones. I'll eat them, but i'll pick them out of a mix first just to get rid of them.
I actually like things like frozen brussel sprouts, corn, spinach (for soups), and I have a bag of roasted peppers in the freezer right now and often a stir-fry mix.
Gosh, I thought everyone had a few frozen veggies in their freezer. Of course they are not as good as fresh but 95% of the time better than canned. I buy fresh veggies for specific things or as an accompaniment to a specific meal I want to make (Except a bag of lettuce, things like onions, a few pieces of fruit, etc). If I randomly bought a bunch of fresh vegetables, I would end up throwing away most of it. So I buy frozen to have on hand for convenience. Like a third of the people on this thread are like "I don't buy frozen veggies". I don't quite get it. I do have to plan more though because I am only buying for myself usually so that probably affects my buying habits as well. I also have bags of Hatch green chiles harvested in the fall, roasted and peeled by me in my freezer at all times and they are amazing- even after freezing.
re: LorenM
If the OP had asked about canned, my answer would have been similarly negative.
For the most part, I dislike canned even more than frozen. Exceptions that I keep in my pantry:
Tomatoes (for sauce), beets (still prefer fresh), and several kinds of beans, which can help when you don't have time to work with dried. Canned corn seems to bear little resemblance to fresh on the cob, and most everything else tastes "tinny" to me, even if I can get past the texture. I am sure this is mostly imagined by me.
the only frozen vegetables i eat willingly at this point are green peas, lima beans, and occasionally TJ's frozen artichoke hearts...but i'm extremely fortunate to live in Southern California with year-round access to excellent produce.
i do keep "emergency" bags of Cascadian Farms organic broccoli florets and cut green beans on hand, but they tend to sit in there unused for at least 6 months at a time.

Elliot Tiber - Taking Woodstock
in Books
Before there was a Woodstock Concert, there was Elliot Tiber working to make a go of his parents' upstate New York hotel, the El Monaco. It wasn't easy. The Jewish clientele who had returned to the Catskills year after year had discovered Florida, and the upstate hotel business was dying.
To save his family's livelihood, Elliot put on plays, musicals, and local festivals. In the process, Elliot became the area's official issuer of event permits--not that anybody else wanted that position. Elliot even worked weekends as an interior design artist in New York City, all in the hopes of helping his family.
In the summer of 1969, Elliot Tiber's life changed in a way he never could have foreseen. Greenwich Village had become the mecca for gays in America. There, Elliot had socialized with the likes of Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Andy Warhol, and a talented young photographer named Robert Maplethorpe, and yet had managed to keep his gay life a secret from his family. Then on Friday, June 27, Elliot walked into the Stonewall Inn--and witnessed the riot that would galvanize the gay movement in the United States. And on July 17, when Elliot read that the Woodstock Concert promoters had lost their license to stage the show in Wallkill, he called to offer his help in finding a new venue. In the days that followed, Elliot found himself swept up in a vortex that would change his life forever.
The events that unfolded during that hot New York summer have come to be recognized as major turning points in our cultural history. Few, however, have enjoyed Elliot Tiber's unique view of those events. Taking Woodstock is the funny, touching, and true story of the man who enabled Woodstock to take place. It is also the personal story of one man who took stock of his life, his lifestyle, and his future. In short, Taking Woodstock is like no history of Woodstock you have ever read.

"The Woodstock Daddy!" Elliot Tiber on Get Focused Radio!
Elliot Tiber is our special guest! Talking with Kate Hennessy, on Get Focused Radio, about Woodstock, Judy Garland, the Mob and more!
``Taking Woodstock`` is the true story of Elliot Tiber, the man who was instrumental in arranging the site for the original Woodstock Concert. Elliot, whose parents owned an upstate New York motel, was working in Greenwich Village in the summer of 1969. On July 15, when Elliot learned that the Woodstock Concert promoters were unable to stage the show in a town near his parents' motel, he found them a new venue—a move that would change his life forever. Taking Woodstock was made into an acclaimed motion picture from academy award winner, director Ang Lee and starring comedian Demetri Martin (released in 2009 by Focus Features).
