Viewsonic vx2235wm-1 Monitor has no sound.
Just upgraded to Windows 7 64bit. My trusty old monitor has no sound (the picture is fine) I found a driver for a generic Viewsonic x64 driver, http://www.viewsonic.com/support/dow...d_Win7_x64.zip but that didn't solve the problem. I read a suggestion somewhere to uninstall the driver and let Windows find it. That didn't solve the problem either. I tested the monitor with my old (XP) system, in case the monitor developed a sudden fault, but there is still sound when I plug it back in there.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really don't fancy having to buy a new monitor too, after having had to replace my printer and scanner
|My System Specs

What does the monitor require? Older monitors, that use VGA or DVI usually have a Jack to connect from the PC's Speaker out (GREEN) to the monitor for sound. No driver is required for that. There is no audio in a VGA or DVI connection, just video.
|My System Specs
|26 Aug 2013
There is a green audio cable, connected to the new box, but no sound. I, and several of my friends, tried everything we can to no avail. If I plug the same audio cable back into my old XP machine, sound returns. That is what made me think that it must have to do with the driver
In control panel most options are greyed out
|My System Specs
|26 Aug 2013
The first thing that I see is you have the Digital set as the default playback device. You will not get any speaker sound with that. Set the Speakers as the default playback device.
Skype may also be causing some type of conflict.
|My System Specs
|26 Aug 2013
yup play a music video on the background and play around with the 'set as default' and 'set as communication device'. , if problem is still there after you've tried this let us know there are few more fixes. but dont want to mess up your settings just
ALMOST forgot, after you are done making this changes restart your computer, shutting it down and then on manually does not count so restart it. thennnn come and tell us.
|My System Specs
|26 Aug 2013
OK, I now feel REALLY embarrassed! I went to take a photo of the back of the box to send to you to prove that I have it plugged into the correct place. I then unplugged it to take a photo of all the possibilities. I noticed another place that could have been green, so tried that one. A window opened with some settings. Fiddled with that, did nothing. Closed the window, and plugged it back to where I had it originally. The same window opened and voila, I had sound! And, it has now allowed me to change the default in the control panel
TBH, I really don't understand it, I had unplugged it countless times as had some friends of mine and that window never came up before. Unless it was that I unplugged the Skype headset?
The sound is really echoey, (is that a word?) but I'm sure I'll figure that out after some fiddling
|My System Specs
|26 Aug 2013
Check the RealTek HD Audio Manager panel in the Control Panel/Hardware and Sound. Most of the RealTek's have "Sound Effects" and that could be where the echo is coming from. Disable all sound effects.

Whether you fancy trendy city cars or crazy customs ripped from a comic book, there are plenty to go
Price-comparison site Luzme will show you the prices from every e-book seller that carries the book and notify you if there's a price change.
A recent Pew Internet poll finds that 62 percent have no idea whether their local libraries lend e-books to patrons. Even if they do, of course, they're rarely easy to get.
It's like a buy-one-get-one-free deal: loan out an e-book you've purchased and you'll get a loan from someone else in return. These services pair you up with interested parties.
Amazon's new e-book subscription service gives members unrestricted access to an extensive library for a monthly fee, but here are five things to consider before signing up.
With an Amazon Prime membership, Kindle owners can now borrow certain e-books for free as frequently as a book a month, with no due dates.
commentary: Several authors on Twitter mistook an e-book lending Web site for a piracy hub, a mistake that eventually took the site offline. As the dust settles, a disturbing picture of file-sharing hysteria emerges.
With its new Kindle First program, the retail giant has come up with another way to lure people to Prime.
Read this exclusive excerpt from the new book, "The Cheapskate Rules," then get a deal on the book itself!
During the latest quarter, Amazon added "millions" of subscribers to Prime, and an exec says its Netflix-like streaming video service is helping those numbers.

Man sent to prison for burglary - Oxford
Thursday 01 May 2014, 1:57pm
A man has been sentenced to 18 months imprisonment for a burglary in Oxford.
Adam Kupka, aged 26, of Banbury Road, Oxford, pleaded guilty at Oxford Crown Court yesterday (30/4) and was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment. He was also ordered to pay £400 to the victim.
The charge related to an incident in November 2013, when Kupka burgled a house in Harpsichord Place, Oxford and stole £400 from the property.
Det Con Emma Thompson, investigating officer, said: "Burglary is an unpleasant crime, which leaves victims out of pocket and anxious.
"Tackling and disrupting criminals who prey on our communities in Oxford is a priority. This is the latest in a series of good results and we are determined to continue to work with other agencies and the communities of Oxford and surrounding areas to do all we can to prevent criminals operating in Oxford while targeting those who do.
"In terms of the prison sentence, justice has been served and the victim can now move on with their lives."

Microserver chip performance smackdown
There's been a lot of talk about how well future servers based on Atom, ARM, Tilera, and other processors might compete against workhorse Xeon or Opteron servers. What there hasn't been a lot of is benchmark data that shows how those so-called microserver processors stack up – until now. Tilera threw a coming-out party for its …
Tables, Tim
Information like that needs to be presented in tables. A bit like they do on, for example, the Coremark website [1], though cut down so you only see the ones being covered in the article. It's not rocket science.
Maybe one day the boss will let you use big boys html. Maybe one day links will even be autoclickable without needing browser add-ins.
Well you gotta dream, yeah?

Michigan State Police execute search warrant at Romulus Mayor Alan Lambert's home
Updated On: Mar 26 2013 08:18:48 AM EDT
Michigan State Police have searched the home of Romulus Mayor Alan Lambert's home on Mario Ann Court.
Investigators showed up at the house at about 5 p.m. Monday and left just before 5 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Boxes of evidence were removed, but police haven't said what they were looking for.
Police said Lambert was interviewed and released.
Lambert lives at the home with his wife and children. He's been mayor since 2001.
His career in public service began in 1981, when he was the youngest person elected to the Romulus City Council.
In 2011, Michigan State Police raided the Romulus police headquarters. The investigation into public corruption resulted in charges against the former police chief, his wife and five Romulus police detectives. Lambert was mayor at the time.

Gear Question
Hey guys i know the official packsize is...
Matt Mackenzie
Member since
Hey guys i know the official packsize is listed but is that compressed? or just stuffed? ALSO does the bag compress well i want a bag that goes down small =) Cheers!
Ryan Hamilton
Member since
The pack size listed is usually uncompressed. Down bags, especially WM, compress really well.
Kate Williamson
Member since
WM bags come with a regular stuff sac and so the compressed size listed is in a regular stuff sac. I've seen the Megalite compress to a little larger than the size of a softball before... Great stuff!
Evan Tougas
Member since
this bag comes with a large storage sack, it also comes with an XS 7 X 13 inch regular stuff sack. However, if you want it smaller than that, I recommend the sea to summit event compression dry sack. XS is 6X14 inch non compressed.

|Acute Elevation of Non-esterified Fatty Acids on Endothelial Function and Insulin Sensitivity: A Comparison of Saturated and Long Chain n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids During the Postprandial Phase
|Brief Summary
Experimental elevation of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) impairs endothelial function and insulin sensitivity but the impact of NEFA composition is unknown.
The objective was to test the effect of acute elevation of NEFA enriched with either saturated fatty acids (SFA) or SFA with long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA) on postprandial vascular function measured via flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), laser Doppler iontophoresis (LDI) and digital volume pulse (DVP), followed by a hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp as a measure of whole body insulin sensitivity.
|Detailed Description
To investigate potential diet-gene interactions, potential subjects (n=370) were prospectively genotyped for the eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism, of which 35 were Asp298 and 150 were Glu298 homozygotes. Three subjects in the Asp298 group were unable to participate, two were unsuitable according to selection criteria and one subject subsequently withdrew from the study. Subjects homozygous for Asp298 (n=29) and Glu298 (n=30) were therefore selected, balanced for gender, age and BMI.

Writer Christopher Hitchens is drawing widespread attention with his latest provocative oeuvre, "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything." But one person close to him questions the integrity of his atheist stance: brother Peter Hitchens, who told the British paper The Independent (irking Christopher in the process) that he wonders if Christopher protests too much about his lack of belief.
The Independent:
On a book tour in Los Angeles, Christopher agrees to read the review by email and then flatly rejects the idea that he is, as he put it, a " repressed seeker." Prefacing his response to his brother's review with faint praise—"a quite stirring and eloquent piece"—Christopher says: "The sickly idea that this interest is a disguised cry for help ... only demonstrates the insecurity and the bad faith of the godly." The elder brother then adds: "Though I slightly dislike to say this, [Peter] offers himself as yet another example of how the religious mentality forces honest and reasonable people to say dishonest and irrational things."

While there were some select conference games last week in Indiana, week three is when it really begins for every team in the state.
And one of the biggest conference battles will be at the Rockpile as Plymouth hosts rival Warsaw in our Pizza Hut Spotlight Game of the Week.
Both teams enter the Northern Lakes Conference showdown 2-0 on the season.
For Plymouth, they are coming off impressive wins over Bremen and Rochester and are ready to show what they have in the NLC.
"We start with Warsaw and end with Northwood and in between it's just a dog fight," 5th year Rockies coach John Barron explains.
"Our kids are excited just like all the conference kids are. They're very excited about the NLC. Everyone wants to get off to a great start."
The Tigers also have their set of impressive wins -- including a 29-22 over then 10th-ranked Homestead.
But that big win will be for naught if Warsaw can't get the big win in this rivalry game.
"Plymouth and Warsaw in all sports----football, basketball, baseball, is a huge rivalry," Warsaw head coach Phil Jensen said.
Jensen returns to the Tigers this season after leaving the program three years ago.
"There's just so many things that go into this, but most importantly, it's getting off to a good start in our conference and not falling behind."
And there is also a friendly rivalry between both head coaches. Jensen and Barron are very close friends. The two are also former teammates, having played college football together at Butler.
"Phil and I have known each other for a long time," Barron explained. "He's a great guy and a great coach. We were all sad to see him get out and we were all sad to see him get back in."
"Well, I was sad to go and awfully glad to be back," Jensen said in response to Barron's statement.
"John and I are best of friends. We talked all summer, we talked last week before each of us were getting ready to play our big games---- we won't talk this week," Jensen said laughing.
"We'll say hello before the game. The gloves are off right now---he's going to give his best effort to win and he knows he's going to get the same from me."
To put in perspective how close Barron and Jensen are---John asked us to say hello to Phil when we went and talked to him.

Breyer's ice cream quality (split from Ontario board)
- Full tummy Apr 2, 2009 07:19 AM
Ya, what is it with that? I used to think of Breyer's as alright, but it is terrible now. Alas, I usually get stuck with it when someone else serves it... The mouthfeel of all of them is horribly gummy.
Sometimes, I'm heading to a family event, and it's just not practical to buy Haagen Dazs. Which ice cream do you guys turn to in this case? (I'm looking for a larger package that's less expensive.)
The Breyer's all natural ice creams really were. They were 50% air, icy, and thin, but the flavours tasted good. Breyer's was especially useful for milkshakes, where heavy super premium ice creams don't blend very well.
For whatever reason, they pulled this line and replaced it with the "double churned" version, which has nothing to do with churning. They added various emulsifying and stabilizing agents that simulate a richer, creamier mouthfeel. The timing of this was interesting, in that several reviews had concluded that the use or non-use of these additives did not seem to make ice creams either good or bad. There were both good and bad ice creams with and without the additives.
Unfortunately, Breyer's did a crappy job. The new line does, indeed, feel richer and creamier in the mouth. These are additive induced sensations, since the product is not actually any richer, creamier, or heavier. The change also added a gumminess and somehow ruined the taste. My own experience is that they could have avoided these deficiencies, but they didn't.
There must have been complaints, since the all natural version eventually reappeared. However, it was sold in smaller containers and at a much higher price. I don't know whether they are still making these, but they couldn't have sold very well. They quickly disappeared from the shelves of everyplace I shop.
I'd say the best option would be President's Choice. I find some of their flavours really good and others disgusting, but the overall ingredient quality is not bad for the price. We particularly like the mint/chocolate combo and the coconut. If you look at the reviews on the PC website, you'll get some sense of the various flavours.
Sobey's has a Compliments Sensations ice cream, called something like double chocolate truffle, that won a few awards, but we found it too sweet to eat and threw it out.
Obviously, YMMV.
re: embee
Thanks, embee. My go-to vanilla when I need a larger package has been the PC brand. Hubby and I did a blind taste-testing against Breyer's, and we could tell the difference. I do like it's flavour better, and it seems cleaner on the tongue.
Though, I note that the PC ice cream is much more expensive these days than it used to be. A few years ago, the prices were better or comparable to Breyer's. Now, Breyer's is much cheaper; if I remember correctly, the PC ice cream was up over $6.00. Which is surprising to me, since I've always thought that the aim of PC was to price itself competitively against the brand it would most closely be compared to. Perhaps, though, Breyer's cuts have resulted in an ice cream they can sell more cheaply (and that was the aim of the recipe change), and now the PC is left on its own??
re: Full tummy
I think (not certain) that PC is roughly the same price as Haagen Dazs for roughly double the quantity. It was $6.99 earlier this week, but it had been on sale for $4.99 for quite a while.
Since ice cream is sold by volume, this type of price comparison isn't really valid. You need to weigh each brand to actually compare value.
re: embee
Hi embee,
Yes, I understand that. My comparison is more between the PC brand and what I would think of as its closest competitor, Breyer's. Do you think that the Breyer's weighs less? (I haven't weighed them.) Also, I'm not really concerned about being "ripped off", so much as the perception that ice cream buyers have, as most of them do not consider weight, and I think weight measurements are not on the packages, anyway.
My point is also about marketing--I've always thought of PC ice cream (and some of their other products, as well -- custard, pop, crackers) as marketing itself as the slightly better (or at least as good), slightly cheaper alternative to another readily identifiable brand with similar packaging. I notice that friends of mine are tending to buy Breyer's now (probably because it's cheaper), and I hope that doesn't push the PC line to use cheaper ingredients so they can sell at a comparable price.
re: Full tummy
I don't see PC and Breyer's as being directly competitive. Leaving out the basics such as chocolate and vanilla, most of the PC ice cream flavours seem to be unique. I should be working, but curiosity got me and I checked the PC website. Some of the flavours are:
Canadian Maple
Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge Crackle
Caramel Cashew Toffee Crunch
Cherry Chocolate Chunk
Chocolate Almond Bark
Chocolate Fudge Crackle Peppermint Chocolate
Coconut Cream Pie
I don't think anyone else sells these in Canada. I know their Xmas Candy Cane ice cream is made by Chapman's. I don't know whether Chapman's makes some or all of the other flavours, but Chapman's own brand isn't as good.
It's instructive that PC ice cream contains a whole whack of additives, but they don't totally ruin the ice cream (as opposed to the additives in Breyer's "double churned").
re: embee
You're right. Many of the flavours aren't the same, and I suppose if you're hooked on a particular flavour, there's no competition (you're going to buy what you like). I don't tend to like the PC or Breyer's flavours; I find them too sweet (and I'm trying not to eat too much ice cream haha). I am usually looking for a vanilla to eat with pie at holidays, so I guess it does seem more like competition for someone like me...
re: Full tummy
Loblaw's suddenly has all kinds of new and reformulated PC ice cream flavours. I noticed them for the first time today. One common thread was that the first ingredient in every PC flavour is now cream.
Breyer's, and many other brands, don't contain any actual "cream" - just "modified milk ingredients".
re: Full tummy
Just one - Mocha Almond Fudge. Good, though not great. Natural flavours with large roasted almonds, espresso chips, and a fudge ribbon. Not horribly sweet. Enough air that it softens much too quickly, but not gummy when it does.
We'd get this one again. However, I still prefer the plain Haagen Dazs coffee.
re: yaddayadda
They were already at the legal maximum for overrun (i.e., added air).
re: embee
I got curious while shopping today. Not accounting for the container weights, which are undoubtedly all different, here's what I found for plain vanilla ice cream:
Breyer's Classic------------------1.89 L--------------1 Kg
Breyer's Double Churn---------1.89 L--------------1 Kg
President's Choice:-------------1.65 L--------------1 Kg
Haagen Dazs----------------------0.5 L---------------0.5 Kg
re: embee
How recently did this transpire? i agree the "double churned" is nasty, and I know Breyers got at least 1 complaint...from me (and answered it, actually.)
But last time I checked you could still get the "all natural" with no scary ingredients in a limited number of flavors. Has this changed?
re: Full tummy
They were really sorry I didn't like their new product. *sigh*
Not sure where you are in Ontario, but if you have access to a Reid's Dairy store I like their ice cream and it's not priced at Haagen Dazs levels. Otherwise, I'd also recommend PC over Breyers.
Too bad Bertillon in Paris doesn't export. Hands down the best ice cream I've ever tasted or likely to taste.
re: eatongal
Yeah, I never did like Breyers, but they've become especially terrible now. I like Stoney Creek ice cream better. Not as good as HD, but also not as expensive.
re: Whats_For_Dinner
I did like a few of the Breyer's all natural flavours before they ruined them. Now I won't buy Breyer's at any price. It isn't worth the calories or the money.
Chapman's makes a whole range of ice creams, from very cheap to very good. Even their lowest end, ultra cheap, ice cream seems to qualify as ice cream. I don't especially like these, but they're much better than Breyer's, including the Breyer's in the black cartons.
Chapman's premium lines are significantly better, and they also make the (much higher quality) President's Choice ice creams.
In addition to all that, they make various sugar free, lactose free, and fat free ice creams (some of these are edible; some not).
Chapman's certainly doesn't make any ice creams that are among my favourites, but I've got to love that company - and the real local family that owns it. Their actions when their plant burned to the ground last year were beyond belief. They could have taken their insurance money, shut down, and sold their brands to - hmmm - perhaps Breyers.
Instead, they opened a temporary plant in the immediate area and are rebuilding in their little village at hyper speed. Against the advice of their lawyers and insurers, David Chapman guaranteed that their employees wouldn't suffer. I was genuinely impressed.
Stoney Creek was great at one time, but I'm not fond of it today. They were making the Dominion house brands - I don't know whether they still make Metro's.
While Kawartha is hardly the little ol' dairy operation of their image, they are the one remaining country dairy that still makes good ice cream. Some of their flavours are disgusting, but their "adult" flavours are still very good.
re: Whats_For_Dinner
I can much more easily tolerate Chapman's vanilla than Breyer's vanilla, and it's half the price!! However, it's not on par with the President's Choice vanilla, in my books. Mouth feel is pretty good, but not enough vanilla, alas.
I do really enjoy some of the Kawartha Dairy flavours. Their strawberry ice cream is perhaps the best strawberry aside from Haagen Dazs. Haven't had Stoney Creek.
re: Full tummy
I had a quick look in the supermarket this morning.
- The first ingredient in NoName vanilla is cream. It's $2 and change.
- The first ingredient in Chapman's economy vanilla is cream. It's $3 and change.
- The first ingredient in Breyer's Classic vanilla is modified milk ingredients. It seems not to qualify as either ice cream or ice milk and costs almost $6
(- Nestle is also labeled "frozen dessert")
re: Full tummy
No - I don't bother with low end ice cream. It's just not worth the calories to me. I did find those ingredients lists, and the "frozen dessert" designation, shall we say, "interesting".
I recall when Gelato Fresco got into a whole kerfuffle with the lords of dairy because they had product that was of "too high quality" to be called "ice milk". Somehow, though, I suspect that this "frozen dessert" label isn't because the product is of too high quality to be called "ice cream" ;-)
The other one I wonder about is Dairy Queen. When I was a kid, it was "frozen custard". Then it became "soft ice cream" Then it was "Dairy Queen is made from ice milk". Now it's just "DQ", with no mention whatsoever of dairy. Petroleum product, perhaps??
re: embee
I'm too young to remember the "frozen custard" designation, but I visit Michigan from time to time and noticed that they have a number of spots selling "frozen custard". My discovery was too late to try them out this past summer, and now they're closed, so perhaps next summer...
Realizing that this thread is split from the Ontario board....a couple of recommendations for Western Canadians....
I too stopped purchasing Breyers - to me, it has a foamy mouthfeel (perhaps from the gums and gelatins they add).
Out here on the left coast, I like The Udder Guys and Island Farms ice cream. The Udder Guys, in particular, has great flavours, uses local cream and does not use additives nor preservatives. I have seen it at the Whole Foods here, so they may have it at the WF back east.
re: fmed
I loved that Capuccino Duet ALl Natural ice cream Breyers had a few years ago. Then one day it was gone, as were all of the All Natural line, replaced with teh terrible "Double (triple?) Churned." I sent Breyers an email inquiring about the All Natural, and they explained to me that here in Canada, we have stricter laws about what can be called All Natural. Apparently All Natural would have to use a spring water source, and not filtered municipal water as they were doing.
I don't see why they didn't just keep making the ice cream the same, but replace the All Natural tag with something else. But instead, they went the opposite direction with that Churned junk, and filled it with air and modified milk ingredients etc. The first time I bought it, it was winter and I assumed I must have bought a carton that had been sitting on teh shelf too long, because it tasted sour. But then over time I realized that any ice cream or ice cream product made with modified milk ingredients just tastes terrible and sour to me. Same with chocolate made that way.
Now I get the President's Choice line, which are thankfully made with cream or milk. Or the Nestle Real Dairy.
Now, just the other day, the Safeway flyer was advertising a new Breyers line called Smooth and Creamy, and the picture showed an icon on the carton of a dollop pf cream. I checked it out, but unfortunately, it's still a modified milk ingrients ice cream :( I think there is a tad of cream listed further down the ingredients list, but not enough to be worthwhile.
Now what I want to know is, why when I look up Breyers in the US website do all of the products have milk or cream. Not a single one has modified milk ingredients! Why are we in Canada stuck with a crappier version. I thought Canada would be better about this.
Also, is it me or is the Bryers Canada website useless? they don't even list products.
re: cmjsrevihc
Breyer's does not speak the truth about "spring water" being a labeling requirement. That's utter BS. Water is -- long pause -- water. "Synthetic water"? Duh....
They just decided to make their ice cream cheaper and crappier. Neither Breyer's nor Nestle's is legally ice cream, or ice milk, in Canada today. They are both labeled "frozen dessert".
re: embee
Nestle has repackaged their "Real Dairy" line ths year, and if you look, it's only 1.5 litres now! I bet that's why they redesigned them, so people wouldn't notice the size change specifically. It's expensive too, as is Breyers. Honestly, $8.99 when not on sale. But President's Choice, made with cream and decent ingredients is only $4 or $5 at the most.
re: embee
If they're manufacturing for the US markets, then there actually is a FDA legal definition of spring water that you have to meet in order to call it such. Sounds like Canada now also has the same sort of rules.
It's not really a rule about the actual quality of the water, but rather that the source is correctly identified.
re: cmjsrevihc
Oh, I see www.breyers.ca has been revamped since I wrote that post. They are extolling their special "cream press system." ie. whatever it is that packs air into already crummy frozen dessert? lol
re: cmjsrevihc
Mmmmmmm, nothing like cream pressed ice cream.
Breyer's is the dregs of supermarket ice cream, not even worth buying when on sale. Try scooping it, it will break apart like frozen Crisco. Yummy.
I love smashing down a 48 oz. container of cheap ice cream (never Breyer's anymore) and noting what I end up with -- it always makes eating a 48 oz. container in two settings so much more guilt-free. One of these days I'm going to buy a cheapie and allow it to melt and note how much liquid is left. That should be a hoot.
Full tummy, sadly it's HD in non-pints (14 oz.) or your own home made if you want decent ice cream.
re: anonymouse1935
Yup, I'm happy with my HD. And recent trips to the US have allowed me to stock up on flavours we just don't have here in Canada. Boohoo.
re: anonymouse1935
not at all... buy costco's icecream. dare ya.
My family doesn't generally buy ice cream as we have a churner, but last weekend my dad brought some home as we were having guests; it was a 'double churned, rich' version. The mouthfeel was oddly foamy, so no one took more than a couple bites. The worst thing, though - it didn't melt! It got softer, but it retained its general shape for more than 3 hours, just sitting there. No pool of liquid at the bottom, just a big pile of foam.
re: rafjel
How funny, rafjel! I just had that thought and you described the outcome. You saved my buying some cheapie ice cream.
Since it takes me 4 cups of liquid to make 1-1/2 quarts of home made ice cream, I wonder how much 'foam' translates to the 48 oz. containers.
re: anonymouse1935
A simple weight test will tell you!!! Put it on a scale, and it will tell you how much substance versus how much air you have there--use HD for comparison. I have thought of doing this.
I think others have said that the larger, more aerated tubs of ice cream actually have the same weight as a small HD. I'm not sure as I've never tried it, though.
re: Full tummy
Makes sense, Full tummy. I don't have a food scale, but I bet you're right.
It confirms what I suspect, though. I don't find myself any 'weightier' after eating 48 oz. of cheap ice cream than I do after eating 14 oz. of HD, just less satisfied.
I do enjoy, though, how the cheap ice cream manufacturers have succeeded in pulling one over on all of us, including me.
Do you have HD creme brulee in Canada? It is 'the' best flavor they ever made. Before they became greedy, I stocked up on pints of the glorious stuff.
re: anonymouse1935
I think so. I am addicted to dulce de leche (probably a lot like creme brulee) and caramel cone explosion. We don't have the "five" flavours here (of which I really like the ginger), and a bunch of others. Last time I was in Michigan, a few months ago, there were a number of limited release options, too. Seems to me our grocery stores have about half the flavours at twice the price, where HD is concerned.
re: Full tummy
Commercial ice creams outside the super premium variety aren't 100% ice cream. In addition to ice cream ingredients, air is mixed in. The ice cream industry term for this is "overrun". By law, ice cream can have a maximum overrun of 50%.
From the internet:
"In looking at calculating overrun in ice cream, it is important to remember the definition of overrun; that is, it is the % increase in volume of ice cream greater than the amount of mix used to produce that ice cream. In other words, if you start off with 1 litre of mix and you make 1.5 litres of ice cream from that, you have increased the volume by 50% (i.e., the overrun is 50%). "
Haagen Daz and homemade have minimal overrun. This lack of air is what make HD and homemade so difficult to scoop straight out of the freezer.
re: NotJuliaChild
just look at calories on the side of the package... it isn't hard!
re: NotJuliaChild
Yes, thanks, I am aware of this. That's why some ice creams appear to have fewer calories. There's nothing special about them, except that air has no calories, and they're full of it...
If you are living out in British
Columbia you are doing pretty well for Ice Cream. My aunt and Uncle used to own 'The Udder Guys'. Sadly they didn't do too well with it as people like to stick with the rubbish they know. I never tried it but I am told it was some of the best ice cream you can get. I have been living in Britain for the last 6 years and it is a food paradise, contrary to the press British cuisine usually gets. They are a food mad country, and the high end grocery shops sell some excellent food at decent prices. The British as a rule don't put up with nonsense. All their food is labeled extremely thoroughly, with a breakdown of ingredients by percentage. Can you imagine Canadian food retailers allowing that to pass here? This allows you to realize for example that V8 vegetable cocktail is over 90% tomato juice with less than 10% other vegetables.
The Breyer's scam is one of the most frustrating examples of the scam that North American food producers have been pulling on the public for years. Breyer's All-Natural Strawberry was the finest ice cream ever produced. One day I returned on holiday from Britain, and found it was gone, replaced by the Double Churned garbage. The same happened with Welch's Grape juice which used to be sold frozen. One day it was vanished and was replaced with 'Grape Cocktail'. The packaging barely changed at all and the first I knew of the change was when I drank what I thought would be a mouthful of delicious grape juice and was instead greeted by something barely better than Kool-Aid. Not a word from the company, and most people probably just kept buying it. The worst part is, predictably, that the price did not change! The company's profits soared, as they were now stretching there actual grape juice many times over. We deserve to get robbed like this, because we allow it.
Speaking of ice cream, give Chapman's a try. This was traditionally my most loathed of ice creams, so much so that my family would tease me about it, but my wife bought some about a year ago and I was very surprised. The first ingredient is cream, and it tastes much different than I remember. And only $3.99! Can anyone verify for me if their recipe has changed? I remember it being very artificial tasting and buttery, but now it tastes like actual ICE CREAM, unlike the crap most of the higher end producers sell.
I just had such an amazing experience. Finishing 1/3 a tub of nestle real dairy white and dark chocolate swirl. i let it out of the freezer for 10 minutes so it got all smooth and melty on the edges and omg that stuff is dangerous! couldnt stop it just kept melting and you have to keep eating all the melty parts its so hard to put down! anyways if you do get it trust me put your serving in a bowl first and put it away as fast as you can. its made with mostly natural ingredients and it really tastes like the way ice cream should. I strongly recommend. also this flavour is only 140 cal for 1/2 a cup. not so bad eh! i also love the maple, natural vanilla, creme brulle and cappuccino flavours. their natural vanilla is the best ive ever had and is perfect for accompanying hot apples and cinnamon. im going to try their french vanilla next. GOOD LUCK!
also breyers in the states is made with milk whenever i go to the states i get it. especially their smooth and dreamy its so fluffy. i like their chocolate chip cookie dough, mint chocolate, mocha brownie, chocolate, i dunno what else. and haggan daaz has a great line of frozen yogurts not too fattening and tons of protein and calcium. their vanilla and coffee is good. also haggan daaz five has this lemon flavor thats to die for it tastes like lemon meringue pie!
Many, many years ago Breyers was sold in a box with a thin piece of cellophane over top of it. That was a true half gallon.
Then they switched to an oval shaped container that was only 1.75 gallons.
More recently, they shrunk the container again. Now a container of Breyers is only 1.5 quarts.
The price has more or less stayed the same over the last couple of years. This is to give the illusion of value, since the majority of people look only at the price tag.
If you have basic math skills, you know you're being ripped off. By reducing the size of the container, you're paying more on a per ounce basis. But how many people think like that when buying food?
Factor in the overrun I discuss above, and it's even more insulting what you're paying.
P.S. Mars has done the same thing with their candy bars, but that's for another time.
P.P.S. Ben & Jerry's is owned by the same company that owns Breyers - Unilever.
re: NotJuliaChild
"by reducing the size of the container, you're paying more on a per ounce basis"
Except that the size of the container doesn't necessarily say everything about the weight. You'd have to know if they were putting less air into their product. Those containers don't actually indicate the weight of the product, so a smaller or larger container could actually have the same weight, depending on how dense the product they're selling is, and that depends on the recipe they're using.
re: Chowrin
Do you know who makes their ice cream?
I will look into it next time I'm in Costco, but I wonder if you are referring to the U.S. product. I live in Canada, so perhaps they don't sell the same thing here.
re: Chowrin
I doubt it. You can't buy pure cream, vanilla, and sugar at $10 a gallon (even at Costco) which is what most people on this thread mean by quality ice cream. So in the absence of natural ingredients, food companies insert gunk (guar gum, emulsifiers etc). You could blindfold me and I'd know the difference. Sorry, but I'd put hard money on that...many have tried. Sadly, this is a mass-public generated phenomenon. As long as most people buy this sh*t and can't tell the difference, manufacturers will produce it. I'm not sure if Breyer's US is the same as Breyer's Canada, but since I came to Canada (10 yrs ago) Breyer's seriously took a credibility crash: from manufacturing a premium product to marketing the worst example of mass-produced ice cream in this country. Bar none! White mouth glue, barely qualifying as human food.
re: terence1957
You're probably right about not being able to buy a quality product for $10/gallon. However, just wanted to add that air is the cheapest ingredient in most ice cream/ice cream style products. Far cheaper than guar gum, etc., hahaha!
re: Full tummy
Yes, you are absolutely correct regarding air! Kind of you loose, you loose!
re: terence1957
>Breyer's seriously took a credibility crash: from manufacturing a premium product to marketing the worst example of mass-produced ice cream in this country. Bar none! White mouth glue, barely qualifying as human food.
I knew by my second spoonful that Breyer's had started using stabilizers. And sure enough, there on the ingredients list...
re: Jay F
I loved Breyer's original ice cream. I'd hardly been eating ice cream at all but my wife bought me a 1.5 of butter pecan tonight. I opened the package with a bit of excitement for this treat, remembering the pure flavor and the generous amounts of pecan halves. Instead of the container being filled to the rim, it looked like a glob had been dropped into the carton. Like someone said before, I could smell a rat by the second spoonful. Looked at the label, and there it was...emulsifiers. I could deal with that to some extent if the flavor hadn't changed, but it had. Or I should say disappeared. And the pecans, when you could find them, were rancid. I'm tossing the rest of the carton. Blue Bunny Premium from now on.
The majority of Breyers that is sold in Canada isnt even ice "cream". Its FROZEN DESSERT and it will say that in tiny letters. The dairy industry in Canada is regulated and thus very expensive. This Bryers frozen dessert is comprised of modified milk ingredients( aka Whey). There is not enough dairy in it to be called ice cream. When I lived in Ontario, it used to go on sale all the time for 1,99 and everyone thought they were getting such a bargain. I wouldnt eat that if it was free. Barf. When I called the company, they said that is what the customers wanted because it had less trans fat. Yeah, right.

Boeger's 2005 Walker Zinfandel comes from El Dorado's Walker Vineyards, located at 2,100 feet in elevation and comprised of decomposed granitic soils that lend themselves to powerful wines. This vintage is a royal purple-tinged red with aromas of cedar, black pepper, plum, blackberry and oak. On the palate the wine is full of spices and fruit with slightly more perceptible oak notes. Soft and supple on the attack, the wine has plenty going on mid-palate, finising with soft, lingering tannins.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own. We have a huge team of excellent wine professionals that can match wines you've had in the past with new arrivals that meet your flavor profile.

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Previous: Part 1; Next: Part 3, Final The Earth's Complaint (Part 2) Essential Truths But why, it may be asked, will the earth be inspired to tell all? Typically, the Muslim response is to explain that this accountability forms part of the wisdom for which man was created. For in Islam's account of things, man's place in the cosmos is a truly formidable one. He has been made a khalifah, a vicegerent or custodian of the earth; responsible for tending it and for upholding the Divine Will in it. In this reading, man's sojourn on earth comes in the shape of a life-long examination; a "test" in order that his potential as khalifah be realized and the extent of his knowledge, love and worship of God be made known. As such, the earth is said to be like a "field" which man is called upon to cultivate, with knowledge, submission and good deeds, so as to reap the harvest of everlasting bliss – Paradise and proximity to God – in the Afterlife. It is He, reveals the Qur'an, Who created death and life, to try which of you is best in conduct.[4] This same notion reverberates in the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him, who explained: "The world is green and sweet, and God has appointed you as vicegerents in it to see how you behave."[5] Accountability for what we do or do not do in this life, then, forms an integral part of Islam's essential truths. At the actual forefront of these truths comes the reminder that the universe has a Creator, and that this Creator is One. Secondly, they remind us that we must affirm this realization in our lives. In order to facilitate this, we are given a set of devotional practices which constitute the ideal and simplest means of approaching God. Thirdly, they remind us of man's vocation as vicegerent, and of his responsibility to the earth and to his fellow men. In addition, we are reminded of the unseen world, of jinns and angels, and their influences; and of the end of days when all humanity will be brought to account. It is with this in mind that 'Umar, the Prophet's close companion and Islam's second caliph, exhorted: "Call yourselves to account before you are called to account."[6] There is also a hadith which informs us: "The prudent one is he who takes stock of his soul and works for what comes after death, while the foolish one is he who follows his whims yet hopes in God's forgiveness."[7] In The Shadows Of Ideology In Islam the Basics, Colin Turner, in depicting the image of Islam in the West, writes: "The Western image of Islam as a harsh, uncompromising religion that demands strict and unquestioning obedience from its followers, who, if pushed, will not hesitate to spread their faith with violence and terror, is one not confined to the rhetoric of twelfth-century Crusaders: fear of Islam and Muslims, or 'Islamophobia' as it is currently known, is sadly as visible today as it was then. Just as pictorial depictions of Muslims as child-eating demons abounded in the days of Richard the Lionheart, so too some 800 years later do we come across ostensibly serious works on Islam whose front covers carry photographs of gun-toting mullahs or balaclava-clad terrorists, often against the backdrop of blown-up embassies or hijacked airliners. While the responsibility for the creation of this negative image rests largely with sensationalist tabloid press, which is always ready to prey on its readers' fear of the unknown, much damage has been inflicted by writers and academics who, one assumes, should know better. The Muslim world, it would now seem, is the bogey man to be feared and held at bay as we approach, in the words of one academic, the "end of history".[8] But the notion of Islam as a faith that inspires its followers to violence in order to achieve its goals – even if this involves the killing or maiming of women, children and other civilians – is not a Western construct alone. For the past quarter of a century the over-politicization of Islam has fed this stereotype. Militant re-readings of the faith, that ascribe to it the kind of inhumane acts that have no place in it – neither from the Qur'an; nor the practice of the Prophet; and nor in the interpretations of the juristic community – are a scourge on Islam's name and warp its essential truths. Islam the path of salvation is now being eclipsed by Islam the ideology. This is not to deny the political dimension inherent in Islam, but to question the logic at work here. How can Islam turned political and mutated into ideology ('Political Islam', as it is now being called) in any way bring to the fore the essential truths of the faith? How can the restoration of "Islamic governance" ever warrant slaughtering the very soul of the faith on the alter of power politics? This is not a case wherein it may be said that the means justifies the goal.

Officially Official: Aston Martin refreshes the DB9
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Jun 28th, 2010 at 11:30AM
Despite the fact that few people would actually argue that the Aston Martin DB9 really needed a nip and tuck, that's exactly what it's getting for 2011. Given how well the DB9 has held up over the last seven years, the changes have been kept pretty discreet. The lower front grille has been reshaped and new mesh inserts have been added, while the rocker panel crease now sweeps up into the rear wheel arches. Mechanically, the DB9's 6.0-liter V12 powertrain has been carried over, as has its 470 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. The most significant upgrade for 2011 is the adoption of... Read More

November 27, 2014
UPDATED Wednesday, June 19, 2013 --- 10:00 p.m.
Reporter: Phil Levin
A police escort and dozens of family, friends and balloons are helping wish well a local 7-year-old heading to out of town for eight weeks of treatment.
Ella Hembrook, from Stoughton, is fighting a brain tumor and departing for Boston soon.
"We went through a whole year of two brain surgeries," said her father Kevin Hembrook. "She knows what's going on, she knows why we're going up to Boston. Unfortunately it's not a vacation but we're going to do our best to move on forward."
Kevin and the rest of the family had no idea they would be escorted down Main St. to cheering supporters.
"I think it's like really cool and everybody is really nice," said Ella.
"She's going through more than most people ever have to go through," said Katie Bridgwater, who planned the celebration. "If they can do some fun stuff while they are out there and keep her comfortable, being away for eight straight weeks is a lot."
To follow Ella's journey, you can head to her site.
Posted: Saturday, June 8, 2013 -- 5:39 a.m.
It's garage sale season and Saturday you can pick up some of those big bargains while helping a local girl.
Seven-year-old Ella Hembrook is battling a rare brain tumor.
Her friends in Stoughton came together to organize a garage sale to help her family.
The kids have been collecting items to sell, including toys, t-shirts, bracelets, cupcakes, and lemonade.
The sale goes from 8 a.m. Saturday until noon at 923 Kings Lynn Road in Stoughton.

Corneal injury
Corneal injury describes an injury to the cornea, the crystal clear (transparent) tissue covering the front of the eye.
See also: Corneal ulcers and infections
- Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The cornea works with the lens of the eye to focus images on the retina. Injuries to the cornea are common.
Superficial (surface) corneal injuries, called corneal abrasions, may be caused by:
- Something getting into the eye (such as sand or dust)
- Overuse of contact lenses or lenses that don't fit correctly
- Exposure to ultraviolet radiation
You are more likely to develop a corneal injury if you work in a dusty environment, are exposed to sunlight or artificial ultraviolet light for long periods of time, or if you overuse or have ill-fitting contact lenses.
Penetrating (deep) corneal injuries may occur with major trauma. High speed particles, such as chips from hammering metal on metal, are particularly dangerous.

- Symptoms
- Abnormal sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision
- Eye pain
- Feeling like something is in your eye
- Redness of the eye
- Swollen eyelids
- Signs and tests
- Standard ophthalmic exam
- Slit lamp examination of the eye
- Fluorescein dye staining of the surface of the eye
- Treatment
Anyone with severe eye pain needs to be evaluated in an emergency care center or by an ophthalmologist immediately.
Treatment for corneal injuries may involve:
- Removing any foreign material from the eye
- Eye patch
- Antibiotic drops or ointments
DO NOT try to remove an object stuck in your eye without professional medical assistance. See: First aid for eye emergencies
A particle that is large enough to damage the cornea may not be see without a magnifying glass or special eye drops that stain the eye.
You should avoid driving and other potentially dangerous situations while wearing an eye patch, since it can affect your depth perception.
If the corneal injury is due to a chemical burn, seek immediate medical attention. Many household products contain strong acids or other chemicals. Drain cleaners and oven cleaners are particularly dangerous. If chemicals are splashed in the eye, the eye should be IMMEDIATELY flushed with tap water for 15 minutes, and the patient should be quickly taken to the nearest emergency room.
- Expectations (prognosis)
Injuries that affect only the surface of the cornea normally heal very rapidly with treatment, and the eye should be back to normal within 2 days.
Penetrating corneal injuries are much more serious. The outcome dependsd on the specific injury.
- Complications
Severe corneal injury may require extensive surgery or a cornea transplant.
- Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if the injury has not significantly improved in 2 days with treatment.
- Prevention
Safety goggles should be worn at all times when using hand or power tools, when using chemicals, during high impact sports, or in other situations where there is a potential for eye injury. Sunglasses designed to screen ultraviolet light should be worn during prolonged exposure to sunlight, even during the winter.
