Not sure why I have to put a subject
by djreiswig - 12/7/12 4:45 PM
In Reply to: Sorry but I guess you are asking me to write this. by R. Proffitt
So how long does 500 items take to sort? The Dell players seem to sort really quickly. The RCA one I bought takes it's sweet time. It was a current model a year ago, so I think they kind of went backwards.
If an iPod will work, then I'm not against it. Just don't have any experience with them. Or many other mp3 players for that matter.
As far as the order, I have all of the files named with a preceding number so hopefully that will eliminate that problem.
As for splitting the playlist, this is for my Mom and she isn't too tech savvy so I'd just as soon make it as user friendly as possible. A single playlist is what she is used to, so that would be the best if it will work.
Do you have a preferred iPod, or are they all created equal for what I need? I'm assuming the current models do far more than I need. How far back can I safely go before I might run into problems?
Once again, thanks for the advice.

Can I use 1% milk in ice-cream maker?
Just bought Cuisinart Icecream Maker in Costco, but I did not see any recipes for "light" ice-cream.I have two questions:
1. Can I use 1% milk in it?
2. Can I use sweetners in it(like agave syrup, splenda, honey)?
Thanks for your input!
I use agave nectar, instead of sugar, in recipes I make in my Deni ice cream maker - 1/4 c. agave nectar for every 3/4 c. sugar.
You might try using low-fat half and half along with 1% milk. There are also recipes that use non-dairy liquid creamer to add some "creaminess" that would be lost from using low-fat milk alone. Unflavored gelatin is also added to low-fat or non-dairy (using liquid creamer) recipes. I also make a concentrated mixture (double or triple strength) of Morning Moo's (a powdered whey-based milk substitute) as a substitute for heavy cream, and it's low-fat.
(source: Deni)
3 c. non-dairy creamer
1-1/2 t. plain gelatin
3/4 c. sugar (I'd use 1/4 c. agave nectar)
4 oz. egg substitute (Egg Beaters)
1-1/2 c. pureed blueberries
1 t. vanilla
1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the non-dairy creamer. Warm the mixture (do not allow to boil) to dissolve the gelatin, stirring if necessary.
2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well in a blender or processor.
3. Chill thoroughly.
4. Add to ice cream maker and process.
I use skim and low fat milk to make ice cream all the time. It's true that the texture would never be as creamy as the ice cream used full fat milk. We love homemade ice cream so much that pretty much everything goes. Every summer I look around the kitchen to see if I can come up with some new ice cream ideas. The "exotic" ones I have tried were green tea flavor, ginger flavor, & pineapple flavor, all turned out very well.
The "fat free half and half" that I've seen is skim milk and high fructose corn syrup. I think fat free evaporated milk would be a much better choice.
If you're making chocolate, I really like this recipe:
and I'm certain you could use 1% instead of skim if you wanted. The texture is really nice-- it doesn't get too hard, which I sometimes have a problem with. I think because of the liqueur.
Yes, you can use 1% milk in it, but as mentioned, it won't have the "mouth feel" that you get from fat like cream, half and half or eggs.
I've made a pretty darned good frozen yogurt using just fruit, homemade fat free yogurt and Splenda, when Dad was still alive and I made some sugar free butter pecan ice cream with brown sugar Splenda (which is really a sugar/sweetener blend, so there is some sugar) but I used fat free half and half for that. I've made ice "milk" with low fat milk and it's still pretty good, but remember, every substitution you make alters the final product. So, if you have a vanilla ice cream that you love and you use agave nectar or honey instead of sugar and you use milk instead of cream and you leave the eggs out, it's not going to be even close to your original results.
Jessica, my Dad was diabetic, had several heart attacks, a quadruple bypass, congestive heart failure, a bunch of stuff. He also had an insatiable sweet tooth, so I did my best to try to keep him supplied with an occasional treat that he could eat without compromising his blood sugar.
Although Dad passed away over a year ago, my brother in law is diabetic, my stepmom has just been diagnosed with diabetes and is on dialysis, Elery's brother in law and stepmother are both diabetics. So, do I make them treats with Splenda, with fat free half and half, with no eggs, whatever? Sure I do.
But I make them all from scratch, I don't buy them, LOL.
It's texture, Jessica, the half and half makes a creamier ice cream than skim milk. I could probably replicate the texture, maybe with cornstarch, to make the skim milk thicker, but I don't do it often enough to really get into the experiments. I considered using evaporated skim, but it has a different taste if I don't cook it.
Mostly I make them frozen yogurt with my homemade yogurt, fruit pureed in the food processor and Splenda or Equal. the only problem is that it freezes really hard, it's best right out of the ice cream freezer, kind of "soft serve".
LOL, Jessica, I meant REAL liquor, like vodka or rum or something. I'm thinking Riesling wouldn't be so good in ice cream. I'm not morally opposed to drinking or anything, heck, I owned a bar and grille for years, I just haven't tasted any that I particularly liked, so I don't bother.
Then again, maybe Reisling ice cream.... (grin)
Lol. I think you're right-- I think the hard stuff works better. I tried some vodka and rum in a couple of sorbets, and some Kahlua (or something like it) in chocolate sherbet.
It is an idea. . . For the record, if I get addicted to white-wine-sickles, I'm blaming you!
Frozen mango chunks (bought in a bag from freezer section) blended with skim milk in a blender can be just about as thick as ice cream (if you use more of the frozen fruit) or smoothie-like if using more of the skim milk.Usually doesn't need sweetener but if desired one packet of stevia would do the trick. Frozen ripe banana chunks blended with skim milk also provide a lot of creaminess but I don't really eat them any more due to calories. :) I was wondering about the low cal possibilities with the ice cream maker and appreciated everyone's info here. Husband just made a batch with full blown cream and sugar, with coconut flavoring, it was great but these days I'm not interested in anywhere near that much fat or sugar! Had one bite, it was enough :) Lost 20 lbs recently amazingly easily by just not eating overly fat foods and starches, wish I'd done it years ago :) It is surprising how quickly you get used to less fat and added sugar, then when you taste something with all that stuff in it, as I just did, it's like, man, way too much!! (Of course the fruit contains sugar and even skim milk has some, so it is still a dessert but at least it lacks the added fat and sugar.) I've read that some people use guar gum, I'm not sure where to buy that, anyone know?

I use 1 percent milk sometimes or fat-free buttermilk in recipes where the tang works. As for sweeteners, around here, anything goes, including melted jams, honey, fruit juice concentrates, etc.
Are the results "premium" ice cream like we can get from the store? No, but they're a heck of a lot better than the store-bought low-fat/low or no sugar alternatives.

Let It Snow
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

President Barack Obama appeared on Jay Leno on Wednesday night and was taking some questions that had been submitted by viewers. The question came from "Mike from Los Angeles," presumably a Los Angeles Kings fan, who wants to see his team get a shot to defend the Stanley Cup.Obviously the President's statement on the NHL lockout is going to be a favorable one, and it is unfortunate that he doesn't have any actual power to end the Lockout. Seeing as there are no new meetings planned and the Owners say they aren't going to make another offer, this stand still could go on for a bit longer.H/T: Puck Daddy Blog

Finding A Website Design Company That Fits
Make sure your project scope, needs, expectations and values line up well with the website design company that your hire.
Make sure your project scope, needs, expectations and values line up well with the website design company that your hire.
You cannot assume that your only job is to make your client happy. You also cannot disregard the opinions of your client. The ultimate goal for designers who want to build strong client relationships is to strike that delicate balance between the two.
No matter what you are selling, it's important that certain information is collected and that the client leaves the first sales meeting feeling confident. You want them to feel that they are talking to the right person and that your company is both able and willing to support and guide them through the process.
Employers are embracing employees as their primary marketers. Learn why this is a good thing for many companies.
With so much big data and analytics options, tracking digital marketing initiatives can be daunting. Use this scrappy tool set to identify which of your initiatives are working and which are just wasting your money.
Is building for scale the only way to grow a business? Some businesses should focus on the customer and not get fixated on scaling right away.
Brand identity is nearly everything associated with a company, its mission and value proposition. The corporate logo, just one component of brand identity, is one of the most important.
In 2014, if you're thinking about creating an app, strongly consider the MVP approach. Otherwise, you might fail.
Storytelling isn't what it used to be. These days you need to back up your story with data.
While it may be daunting, marketing agencies should take responsibility for designing a strategy based on metrics, ROI and measurements of success.

Mar 19, 2014 GMTHere is a problem: you need to give a bunch of DSC_xxx.JPG files meaningful names like Berlin_May_1981.JPG, Tokyo_Trip_1973.JPG, and so on. The mvdir Bash shell script dramatically simplifies this otherwise tedious task. The script scans the specified path and opens a list of all found files and directories in a default text editor. Edit then the names, and the script automatically renames the modified files and directories when you close the editor.To install the script on your system, create a new file in a text editor, paste the code in the file, and save under the mvdir name in the /usr/local/bin directory.

For starters, QupZilla sports a built-in ad blocker. It's enabled by default, so the browser weeds out these pesky ads right out of the box. Ads are not the only thing that QupZilla can block. The browser comes bundled with the Click2Flash plugin which blocks Flash content. Thanks to the built-in RSS reader, you can use QupZilla as a no-frills RSS aggregator. The browser's RSS functionality is decidedly bare-bones, but it can come in handy when you need to check your favorite feed in a hurry. Of course,...
Feb 25, 2014 GMTKeePassX is an indispensable graphical utility for managing passwords, but there are situations, when a command-line tool might be more practical. Enter kpcli, a Perl-based CLI tool that lets you work with KeepPass 1.x and 2.x databases. On Debian and Ubuntu, kpcli is available in the official software repositories, so it can be easily installed by running the apt-get install kpcli command as root. openSUSE users can install the utility directly from software.opensuse.org/package/kpcli. To open an existing KeePass database, use the kpcli --kdb=foo.kdb command. Issue then the help command to view a list of all available commands along with...
Feb 19, 2014 GMTPastebin is a handy tool for sharing code and text snippets, but it's less suitable for publishing formatted text. NoteHub provides a solution for publishing Markdown-formatted pages instantly and anonymously.Despite its apparent simplicity, NoteHub offers a few nice touches, such as a selection of themes, the ability to use fonts from the Google Fonts service, short URLs, and rudimentary statistics. If you set a password, you can edit the published note later. NoteHub also features its own API, so it can be integrated into third-party applications and tools.Most of the options in NoteHub are specified using parameters attached to the note's URL. For example, the URL below specifies...
Feb 18, 2014 GMTHere are two quick tips that you might find useful. Selecting text in web pages using the mouse can sometimes be rather tricky. For easier and more precise text selection, press F7 which toggles the so-called Caret Browsing mode. With this mode enabled, you can make a text selection by placing the movable cursor anywhere on the page and then using keyboard keys to make a text selection.To close a browser tab, you normally have to click on the Close button. Alternatively, you can close any tab by middle-clicking anywhere on it. This is slightly easier than trying to hit the tiny Close button. In fact, you can remove the Close button altogether. To do this, open a new browser window or tab,...

McCabe & Mrs. Miller 1971
I think I finally get Altman after this film. It's not about plot or characters but the mood he is setting. Makes me eager to check out his other stuff I may not have given a fair shake in my younger days.

After Hours 1985
Wow. Who would have thought Scorsese had a film like this in him? Funny and surreal I just loved this one.
Strike Commando 1987
So Reb Brown has a Russian prisoner tied up and says the line "How do you say goodbye in Russian? Auf Wiedersehen." I'm not sure if Bruno Mattei or Reb were making a joke or no one on set knew that was actually German. Probably the latter. Either way there are numerous wonderful scenes like this sprinkled throughout that makes this one a winner.

Police and firefighters are on the scene of a reported rollover accident on I-395.
The accident happened at the exit 8A ramp off of northbound I-395, near Pentagon City. Two travel lanes and the ramp are blocked approaching the scene.
Initial reports suggest that it's a single-vehicle accident involving an overturned SUV. The driver was able to get out of the overturned vehicle on his or her own power, according to scanner traffic.
The driver's injuries are said to be minor.
(Updated at 2:30 p.m.) George Mason Drive is shut down between N. Henderson Road and Park Drive due to a single-vehicle wreck that knocked over a utility pole.
The crash happened around 1:00 p.m. A driver in a sedan lost control of her car while heading down George Mason, near Barrett Elementary School. The car flipped on its roof and knocked over a utility pole and active power lines.
An Arlington County Fire Department rescue squad helped to pull the woman out of the overturned vehicle while keeping clear of the power lines. She was transported to a local hospital but her injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. Initial reports suggest that alcohol might have been a factor in the crash.
The road is expected to remain closed while utility crews work to repair the pole and the lines.
A single-vehicle accident on S. Arlington Mill Drive ended with the car rolling down an embankment and ending up on its roof.
The accident happened just after 2:00 p.m. The driver of a newer-model Acura was heading down Arlington Mill Drive, near 9th Street S., when she somehow lost control of the vehicle, drove over a curb and down the steep embankment.
The car ended up on its roof, just steps from Four Mile Run and a popular pedestrian path. Amazingly, the driver was unhurt and was able to crawl out of the passenger side of the vehicle on her own power as police and a fire department rescue squad were arriving.
Police on the scene said they were unsure exactly how the accident happened. A flatbed tow truck is currently on scene, trying to figure out how to get the car up from the embankment.
No word yet on whether the driver will face any charges. The accident happened less than a block from the Arlington Mill Community Center and the site of an earlier water main break.
(Updated at 12:25 p.m.) A passenger van overturned after hitting a parked car and sending both vehicles tumbling down an embankment in Ft. Myer Heights at about 10:45 this morning.
A witness told ARLnow.com that the driver of the van lost control of his vehicle on 14th Street N. The van swerved into a parking lot on the 1700 block and hit the trunk of a parked Honda sedan. The Honda was sent over the curb and down the embankment, taking out a small tree with it, the witness said.
The van flipped onto its side, and both vehicles came to a stop on Fairfax Drive, adjacent to Route 50. Police remained on scene for an hour as the vehicles were cleared and towed away.
There were no injuries as a result of the collision. Police declined to comment on if the van's driver would be charged.
Three people were hurt in a rollover accident in Bluemont Monday night.
The two-vehicle crash happened around 10:00 p.m., at the intersection of Wilson Blvd and N. George Mason Drive.
According to a witness, an elderly man in a Chevy Impala on Wilson Blvd ran a red light, broadsiding an SUV that was heading north on George Mason. The SUV flipped on its side and came to rest next to a street sign.
The SUV's three occupants were able to get out of the vehicle on their own, we're told.
Two children were taken to the hospital, according to the witness. Their injuries were reported to be minor.
The adult male driver was shaken but did not require medical treatment. He was driving the children home from a basketball practice at Kenmore Middle School, we're told.
A passenger in the Impala was also taken to the hospital with apparently minor injuries, the witness said. The driver was evaluated by paramedics. Charges were "likely," a police officer on the scene said.
A third vehicle was nearly involved in the accident. We're told a convertible — whose driver was also returning from the basketball practice — was driving next to but just behind the SUV. The driver slammed on the brakes at the last second and managed to barely avoid the wreck.
(Updated at 4:35 p.m.) Arlington County firefighters and paramedics responded to a serious multi-vehicle accident on the GW Parkway this afternoon.
The accident happened just after 2:00 p.m. near the Windy Run overpass, northwest of Spout Run. Three vehicles collided in the northbound lanes, sending one of the cars off the roadway and down an embankment, nearly to the Potomac below.
Two people were in that car; at least one was trapped following the accident and had to be extricated by a rescue team.
One of the victims was flown to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, via a U.S. Park Police helicopter, with serious, potentially life-threatening injuries, according to Arlington County Fire Department spokesman Lt. Sean O'Connell. The other victim in the car was transported via ambulance to George Washington University Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
A third person was injured in one of the other cars involved in the accident. That individual was transported to Virginia Hospital Center with moderate, non-life-threatening injuries, O'Connell said.
All lanes of the GW Parkway were closed between Spout Run and Route 123 following the accident, according to WTOP. Closures remain in place as police investigate the wreck.

An accident caused a Toyota to flip on its roof at the intersection of Clarendon Blvd and N. Cleveland Street this afternoon.
The crash happened around 1:05 p.m., just down the street from the Clarendon Whole Foods store. Witnesses tell ARLnow.com that the driver of the Toyota crawled out on her own power. She was apparently unharmed but was checked out by paramedics.
According to bystanders, the driver of the Toyota told police that a second vehicle rammed her, causing the accident.
The intersection was closed after the crash but one lane of Clarendon has since reopened. A flatbed tow truck is on scene, about to haul away the overturned vehicle.
Update at 9:25 a.m. — The accident scene has been cleared and the ramp has reopened.
An accident has closed the ramp from southbound I-395 to Washington Blvd.
The accident happened just past 8:30 a.m. and resulted in a vehicle flipping on its roof. No word yet on any injuries.
Traffic is slow but moving on the portion of I-395 approaching the closed ramp.
A large truck carrying gravel overturned just north of Marymount University this afternoon.
The incident happened around 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of N. Abingdon Street and 34th Steet N. It's unclear what led to the accident, which resulted in the truck tipping over onto its side, partially on the front yard of a house. It appears that the truck trailer was in the dumping position when it overturned — a load of gravel could be seen on the street behind it.
The driver of the truck was evaluated at the scene by paramedics for back pain. Two heavy duty tow trucks were called in to try to upright the truck and haul it away.
(Updated at 1:10 p.m. on 5/13/14) Police and firefighters are on the scene of an overturned Arlington Transit bus in South Arlington.
The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. on S. Dinwiddie Street in the area of 7th Road S. Initial reports suggested that a natural gas-powered ART bus struck a tree and overturned.
We're told that the bus' "check engine" light came on as it was ascending a steep hill. The bus driver had riders get off the bus, then attempted to continue up the hill. The bus then lost power, began rolling backwards down the hill, and steered in to an embankment before overturning, we're told.
The bus driver was able to safely exit the bus. No injuries were reported.
Last summer, a natural gas-powered ART bus suffered a "brake malfunction" on a hill near Courthouse and rolled backward into a car.
On Tuesday afternoon, Arlington County issued the following press release about the incident.
Yesterday evening, an Arlington Transit (ART) 35-foot heavy-duty transit bus manufactured by North American Bus Industries (NABI) experienced a problem indicated by the check engine light. After parking the bus and removing the passengers, the bus rolled backward and crashed against a tree on the opposite curb before rolling onto its side and coming to a rest.
There were no injuries, or damage to property other than the bus and a tree.
Safety is our priority. At this time, the cause of the check engine light has not been determined. Arlington County's ART operations and maintenance contractor, National Express, is conducting a thorough maintenance and safety investigation to determine the cause and possible remedies. The NABI buses receive routine preventative maintenance and inspections every 6,000 miles.
The ART fleet consists of 44 vehicles, including 35 heavy-duty transit buses manufactured by NABI, 14 smaller buses manufactured by the Arboc Corporation, and three electric hybrid buses from DesignLine USA, all powered by compressed natural gas.
ART takes the safety of our riders and others on the road very seriously. The ART Program has one of the safest operating bus systems in an urban environment in the United States. ART operators are focused on safety with each operator undergoing annual refresher training to ensure they are performing at high safety performance levels.
In May 2011, ART received the American Public Transportation Association's Gold Safety Award for outstanding safety record and reduction of customer safety complaints over the prior two years. In 2012, ART was recognized by the state of Virginia with the Virginia Governor's Safety Award for a pedestrian safety training program for bus operators.
ART operates within Arlington, Va., supplementing Metrobus with cross-County routes as well as neighborhood connections to Metrorail.
(Updated at 4:05 p.m.) Arlington police and firefighters are on the scene of a rollover accident at the intersection of Army Navy Drive and S. Hayes Street in Pentagon City.
Initial reports suggest an SUV overturned as a result of a two-vehicle crash. The driver of the overturned SUV was able to get out of the vehicle and did not appear to be seriously hurt.
According to police on scene, the drivers of both cars escaped with minor injuries, but the driver of the car that flipped was transported to Virginia Hospital Center as a precaution.
Motorists should expect delays in the area of the crash.
A woman crashed her car into a condominium building on S. George Mason Drive this morning.
The incident happened around 10:15 a.m. at the George Mason Village condos near the intersection of S. George Mason Drive and Four Mile Run Drive.
A 70-year-old driver apparently pressed her car's accelerator instead of the brake in the condo's parking lot, sending the Hyundai sedan careening over the curb and into a trench between the parking lot and the building.
The driver was pulled out of the car by police and passersby. She didn't suffer any significant injuries but was transported to Virginia Hospital Center as a precaution.
A tow truck used its winch to get the car out of the trench. An Arlington County building inspector was called to the scene to inspect what appeared to only be minor damage to the structure.
Separately this morning, a Mercedes SUV flipped on its side on N. Williamsburg Blvd between 35th and 36th Streets. The crash was reported to be a single-vehicle accident.
