Blender Foundation Video Taken Down On YouTube For Copyright Violation 306
from the now-it's-ours dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Lithium is an alkali metal, and therefore highly reactive when introduced to water, quickly turning into hydrogen gas and lithium hydroxide. If the barrier between battery and the outside failed, fire is a likely outcome.
Ok I admit it, I have been lazy recently.
Not much had happened in the WRT scene in a while.
OpenWRT now has a great Web-Interface, DD-WRT got better on a daily basis while Sveasofts lost all its developers except James and the quality of their firmware releases declined even more.
The new version of Freeman (1.04) is now available for download!
Last time Sveasoft apparently had unintentionally released an unprotected binary on which Freeman 1.02 was based. This time Sveasoft didn't make the same mistake, the MAC protection had to be hacked and removed.
Kudos to the people responsible for that!
It was bound to happen. After pissing of the entire open source community with their scam, it was only a matter of time until Sveasoft's latest baby - Talisman - would be hacked and made public.
Sorry for not updating this journal in a while. On April 21st, Sveasoft decided to drop work on Alchemy and release it to the public as it is. It is called final and it should be somewhat stable.
Also, after not releasing any source code to the subscribers for 5 months, they finally made the Alchemy sources available.
Both files will appear on the mirrors shortly.
Hello everybody,
thanks to two fellow suppliers I had the chance to make a tag-free version of Alchemy pre7a. You may notice the name change, apparently Sveasoft decided that having seven release candidates durin a feature freeze is a little embarassing.
This version, as always, has been tested before release. Please read the included text files for further information, post questions or comments in this forum thread

The day is near when the Federal Risk and Authorization Program -- commonly called FedRAMP -- will be mandatory as federal agencies move to the cloud, federal CIO Steve VanRoekel told a government and industry audience at the National Institute of Standards and Technology campus.
"FedRAMP in the very near future is really a starting point," VanRoekel said during a speech at the NIST Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop IV in Gaithersburg, Md, Nov. 2, according to a report in FCW's sister publication Government Computer News. "We envision FedRAMP as a living initiative," VanRoekel said in the second speech he has given since taking the reins of the federal CIO office.
NIST released the public draft of The U.S. Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap at the forum.

Setting Up a Blog – The Technical Bit ~ GP
The other day I was wondering around the web, looking for new ideas for Christmas, and I was amazed to find so many other fashion blogs out there. Quite a few were very new, which reminded me of what it was like to start a blog.
I can't believe that I started this blog in 2011. It seems like just yesterday. I have enjoyed every minute of it, but for me the steep learning curve was something I could have done without.
Now, I know from some of the notes I get from you guys that many of you would like to set up a blog, but are not sure where to start.
Well finally, I have listened and put together a quick post about setting up a blog or website. Here it is:
One-step at a time
Don't be daunted by everything you have to learn. Running a blog is just a series of simple steps each of which you can learn in a few minutes from YouTube.
When I started, I knew nothing about writing, posting articles let alone adding images and videos or setting up hosting. To learn each step I just searched YouTube clicked on the most recent video and followed the instructions, which is what I suggest you do.
Therefore, this post is not a step-by-step, click this button, then this button type of article it just outlines the steps you need to take to set up the blog. More of a check list really.
Buy a Domain Name – the first step is to buy a domain name for your website/blog. Try to choose one that will be memorable and reflects what your blog is about.
Buy Hosting – once you have your domain you will need to buy hosting. There are plenty of options. However, avoid the $5 per year type hosting firms. They look like good value for money, but in reality, they rarely provide a good service. If you want to make sure that your blog is not down all of the time, my advice is to buy professional hosting provided by an established hosting provider with a good reputation.
Change the name servers – now you need to point your domain name at your hosting, which means that you have to change the name servers. Sounds complicated fortunately it's not, just look it up on Google. Also, your domain name registrar will normally tell you how to do it.
Set up content management system (CMS) – again sounds complicated, but it's not. My suggestion is that you use WordPress as your CMS. It is the most popular CMS, so there are plenty of in depth instructions available.
Post your first article/post – now you are good to go. All you have to do is to get writing. Again, you can learn all about how to write a post, embed videos and photos, from YouTube.
I hope that helps and really look forward to reading your blogs.Read More

Some Zoo Animals Drown Because Of Flooding In Minnesota
Originally published on Wed June 20, 2012 4:50 pm
Minnesota is seing the worst flooding in decades. Heavy flooding in Duluth caused the evacuations of homes and also caused the death 11 zoo animals at the Superior Zoo in Duluth.
Minnesota Public Radio reports that two seals escaped from their exhibits. MPR reports:
"The zoo's polar bear, Berlin, also escaped from her exhibit area, but Susan Wolniakowski, the zoo's director of guest services, said that 'rumors that the polar bear was out and wandering Duluth' were incorrect.
"'She did not get very far before the zookeepers found her and she was able to be tranquilized,' she said. 'She is also safe and secure and in her holding area.'
"Zoo officials are still trying to determine if other animals escaped or died in the flood, but they have not been able to reach all of the exhibits.
"'The middle of the zoo is a pond,' said zoo spokesperson Keely Johnson, who estimates that about two-thirds of the zoo remains submerged in flood waters as of noon Wednesday."
Eleven barnyard animals died. They were "just kind of swept away in the flood," Johnson told MPR.
Duluth police spokesman Jim Hansen told Reuters that the last time he had seen something like this was in 1972.
Reuters reports that the danger is not over. Five to 9 inches of rain have already fallen and a flash flood warning was "in effect for Duluth, a Lake Superior port city, and other parts of the area until 10:30 p.m. local time."

We live in the southeast and receive little to no snow. However; on vacation in West Virginia during the winter season... I'd agree that the tires are horrible for snow. Also, driving in heavy rain can give a less that desirable feel; at times it seems like the tires are splashy or slip. Overall their treadwear has been amazing. We just turned over 50,000 miles and I think we could go another 5-10,000 but we just aren't going to risk it. I can't truly compare road noise... because I drive a Jeep Wrangler with some beefy tires, so anything sounds better than that. I support the other comments about the tire not being a good choice for northern regions of greater than 2 inches of snow.

House shaking - who to call
I have a 1936 cottage. At some point, the previous owners built a 2nd story in the attic space. They built it on top of the 2x6 ceiling joists instead of putting in the right 2x10 or 2x12 supports.
Last summer/fall, we remodeled the upstairs after the toilet leaked. We replaced 90% of the ceiling joists with 2x12s but left the utility room alone. (why? I don't really know). All was fine until we got a new washing machine. It is a front load, super sonic thing and it spins ultra fast.
Everytime the washer goes into the spin cycle, the whole house shakes. Doors downstairs rattle, pictures on the wall vibrate, etc. I am afraid we are going to shake something lose, but I dont know who to call. My previous contractor is too busy/not interested/etc. (side note - never use a neighbor as your GC)
So, what kind of person do I call?
Call your local appliance dealer and see what kind of trade in they will give you for a top load washer. That or move your washer down stairs.
It sounds like you need to move the washing machine to the bottom floor and then have an engineer examine the structural layout of your house.
Upgrading the floor joists won't get the job done unless those joists are properly supported.
I would call people you got washer from & tell them you think your machine is not balanced & ask them to balance it. Other thing I can think of is if you are overloading it. Did you read the booklet that came with it. Most washers have "feet" that screw up or down to get it balanced. So I would start there. (My dad used to be appliance repairman)
Good Luck! it may look OK or you could try to rock it or move it or get flashlight & get down on floor & see if you can put a piece of paper under 1 of the feet. If you can that is 1 needing adjusting. You can try to do it yourself but if that doesn't work call them back out. If it isn't the machine then it could be other things mentioned. This is when the problem started so best place to start.
Here's a link with suggestions to reduce vibration:
Not sure your house could support it but a heavy base might help - I'm thinking a 2" think concrete slab slightly larger than the base of your washer. You'd need a circular saw to cut plywood for the mold, a screw gun to screw it together and a trowel to smooth the concrete and something to mix the concrete mix in. Google how to make concrete countertops for info and remember, this won't be a countertop and therefore doesn't need to look great.
A couple of bags of Quickrete 5000 will cost $10 and another 10 for the wood, $5 for rebar.
The front loader roattes about a horizintal axis. Forces act in a vertical directrion. Not surprising it excites an elevated floor in the vertical (the most susceptible and noticeable direction). A conventional top loading machine roattes about a vertical axis and the resulting forces are primarily horizontal where the floor is much stiffer.
Either move the machine to a slab on grade or get a top loading machine.
Sounds like you have a lot of vibration. We do too, same kind of washer, but the smaller volume Euro version, not full size. Our first such washer was an AEG and there was little vibration. We got a new Bosch last year and I notice it vibrates more - not sue if it spins faster, or is just balanced differently. Love the machine other than this! But I find if I turn the spin speed down from 1000 to 900 it vibrates less.
Our house is 1905, and is built with 2x3 studs and 2x6 joists, not kidding. I don't notice any nails popping or drywall cracking.
You don't actually say what floor the washer is on, but ours is on the main floor, with basement below and attic above.
I would concentrate on the machine, as there is nothing wrong with your house. Go and talk to the store where you bought it or another store where they specialize in such things, or isn't there an appliance forum here?
No, Bill's idea of adding mass can work, and it does work in "typical" construction. Now the question is if it'll work in this house since it is somewhat structurally compromised.
Bill's 2" thick slab at about 30" square will equate to about 1 cubic foot of concrete for a total weight of 150lbs. That's only 25 lbs/sqft load.
The other thing I've done is made a sandwich out of cement board and mass loaded vinyl. A square of MLV on the floor, a square of cement board on top of that, another layer of cement board, more MLV, more cement board, etc. Stack it to about 2" to 2-1/2" high.
Others have used scrap carpet instead of MLV.
Adding mass usually works when the washer is reverberating through the house's framing, it's more common with engineered I-joists due to their uniform nature. It may or may not work in your house. The mass might be enough to settle things, it could make some improvement, or it could have no effect at all.
A crapshoot, but it's a fairly inexpensive crapshoot.
If a 150lb person can stand in the room with their feet together without falling through the laundry floor, that's 150 lbs/sqft. If they stand on one foot, that's 300 lbs/sqft. If they hold a trained circus seal in their arms and have their pet dog thrown over their shoulder that's 410 lbs/sqft.
But they should do all that on an empty stomach. A stomach full of bacon and eggs can throw everything off.
The slab Bill proposed is 25 lbs/sqft.
By demonstrating that there's not much additional load you're also demonstrating that theres not much additional mass. So any damping would be minimal.
Also the vibration isn't necessarily due to floor response (adding mass would change the natural frquency of the floor) but rather to the forcing function of the spinning washer drum itself.
This product got 4.5 stars on Amazon after 53 reviews:
Some more ideas here :
A few obvious things to check:
- The bolts to lock down the shock absorbers during shipping were removwed during installation.
- The feet are adjusted so they're all in firm contact with the floor.
- All anit-vibration mechanisms are in good order - for example, the ballast weight inside the machine, usually concrete, (mine is in a Kenmore He4t), has all attachments in place. (No missing bolts.)
This second one is tricky - I was having a little too much vibration too; it took a couple of attempts to adjust the feet before I got it solidly supported. Also, my attempts to shim the feet to accomodate an uneven concrete floor were unsuccessful. I ended up patching the concrete for a smooth surface before I got good solid support.
- The thread I linked to above includes a suggestion to add ballast to the top of the machine - they used jugs of water. (Doesn't make total sense to me but they claim it worked.)
BTW, digging into a washer isn't a beginner's job so if you're not handy, call a repair guy, hopefully a good one. Getting the "boot" back on tighly can be a challenge. My boot had a tear so I called a repair guy to replace it but soon it came off. Three subsequent repair visits resulted in the same outcome. I finally fixed it myself and it wasn't easy; don't know why the Sears repair guys couldn't get it strapped on tightly enough.
Re: the concrete base, isn't Handymac a PE, (professional engineer)? I'd love to see some calculations.
OK, enough with the walking washer. I've got stuff to do.
Here's a quote from bill_g_web's second link.
Did you check that it was installed properly?
"Our washing machine (a front-loader) had that problem until we figured out that the people installing it hadn't removed the restraining bolts that were locking down the shock absorbers. Oops!
When we fixed that, things got a lot better. We still need to be careful about putting too much in the machine. With very full loads it shakes a lot more and makes much more noise. Smaller loads cause much less of a ruckus.
One other thing: some front loaders by spec are only supposed to installed on concrete slabs. You can ignore that (we do), but if you have a front-loader like that, you are going to have some vibration no matter what you do."

Interesting about it being specs for concrete only. Ours is on the 2nd floor and we don't have a concrete slab at all, except in the garage. (Pier & beam foundation)
Load amount doesn't seem to matter so I dont' think I am overloading it, but will test. I will also check the stabilization bolts. The (big box store) guys just delivered it, hooked it up and then fought with me that they scratched my stairs taking the old one out. Grumpy guys who probably didn't do the extra step of setting it correctly.
And for whoever suggested basement - no can do. No basements here in Dallas.
You' re missing the fundamental point that a front loaded machine spins about a horizontal axis. The unbalanced load (clothes inside the machine) will cause forces in the vertical direction, as opposed to a top load machine where the drum rotates about a vertical axis and causes forces in a horizontal direction. If you jump up and down (vertical) on the floor you will typically cause a lot more vibration than if you stand on the floor and shift your weight side to side (horizontally). The vertical vibrations will be reacted at the supporting walls and carry throughout the house. So would the horizontal reactions but it's generally not as noticeable.
The reference to a "concrete slab" assumes that the slab is at grade (directly on ground as in the bottom floor of the house) and not necessarily that the surface needs to be concrete. To use my example again, if you go to the bottom floor of the house and jump up and down, you likely won't feel/genreate vibrations at all, but if you do the same thing upstairs (especially in the middle of the room) you'll shake the whole house.
In your original post you say that "all was fine until we got a new washing machine".
Was the old one upstairs too without any issues?
Was it a top loader?
I believe that your problem is using a front loading machine on an elevated floor. Hopefully you can find a vibration damping solution that works but I agree completely with the following statement from the linked site:
"You can ignore that (we do), but if you have a front-loader like that, you are going to have some vibration no matter what you do." With "that" referring to the installation of the machine on an upper floor.
I hope that helps.
"If the house is shaking from any washer type, I think there's bigger issues at stake than balancing a washer!"
Not necessarily. Haven't you ever been in a house where if you walk across the room you'll hear noises from the china cabinet? Back in the day, I couldn't use my record turntable on an elevated floor without it skipping. (high-end turntable with a low stylus pressure). It doesn't mean the house has problems just that the stiffness of the floors is not suited for vibrations sources.
Heck, our dishwasher makes the countertop vibrate a little.
Washers/dryers and other machines generate niose and vibrations. It's a fact. That's why they are frequently located in the basement, garage, or other out of the way place. Many times structural design considers static loads only and does not consider dynamics.
Lastly, "house shaking" is a relative terms. To some the aforementioned rattling in the china closet is percieved as "shaking the whole house" or an "earthquake".
"Everytime the washer goes into the spin cycle, the whole house shakes. Doors downstairs rattle, pictures on the wall vibrate, etc. I am afraid we are going to shake something lose, but I dont know who to call".
I took this as extreme, but you make a good point. Out here in seismic country, certain aspects of the framing have give required by code. Not enough to really feel due to a washer though, pretty much geared for seismic ground movement. Only the op knows how severe the situation is and if major, should have a consultation from a stuctural engineer.

Palestinian children awesome picture 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
How important do people feel the Palestinian- Israeli conflict is to their
well-being? I often wonder. As a journalist I carry this question with me into
the field, but avoid asking it directly.For example, Palestinians will
usually say that occupation is unjust, they suffer from it and that it has to
end for everything in their lives to improve. I usually disregard these
statements, and attempt to obtain a deeper understanding of the way people live,
think and behave on both sides of the conflict.I actually came to the
conclusion that when it comes to the struggle, people's ideas and beliefs are
changing drastically from what they were decades ago. It's safe for me to say
that in Israel and Palestine, the general public reached the conclusion that
there are more important issues in their lives to worry about.Yes,
people don't care as much anymore. However, the circumstances that brought about
this state of affairs in each nation vary considerably.I specifically
remember a few incidents from the time close to the Palestinian statehood bid at
the UN last year. As the excitement succeeded in putting Palestinians on
the world news map again, I met locals who couldn't care less. For them, nothing
would really improve on the ground, because their daily challenges –
checkpoints, a weak economy and lack of a clear future – will continue to exist,
they have no quick fixes.Aside from the diplomatic strategies for
demanding statehood and its political ramifications, these people know that with
or without a country, with international recognition or without, they would
still be severely economically challenged. Especially when the past 20 years
haven't shown that the Palestinian interim (as Oslo states) Authority succeeded
in providing better living conditions for Palestinians.Not only that,
some have actually come to see the conflict as an excuse for not finding
solutions to some of their problems. They say, "We need to end the occupation
first and then we will think about other issues." I am not defending the
occupation, but I believe we can try to improve other parts of our lives while
we strive for independence.For example, we have many economic
challenges, some of which can lead the PA to not be able to fulfill its
commitments to the people. I don't deny the blatant interconnectedness between
the Israeli measures and the Palestinian economy, particularly when the Israeli
authorities decide to punish all Palestinians by withholding Palestinian tax
money they collect on behalf of the Palestinians. However, not improving the
private sector, not fighting corruption in our institutions is not entirely
related to the conflict.ON THE Israeli side, there's also that sense of
desperation and disconnection between the leadership and the people.Last
summer's social protests in Tel Aviv clearly demonstrated that Israelis want
economic reforms and a better system that can save the middle class from
vanishing. Tycoons' power in Israel is turning the country from a once
socialist state to a rampantly capitalist one.I've heard it from some
Israelis: "we think the government is spending more time, energy and money on
security and less on the lives of Israelis," a different situation from that of
previous decades.It's similar here, because until last Tuesday,
Palestinians seeking a civil service job had to have a clearance from the PA's
preventive security forces to be allowed to assume their duties. In addition,
the Palestinian attorney-general decided to block some news websites a week ago
because of "undesired content," directed against the Palestinian
president.The conflict has made unconventional measures more accepted,
because the nation is facing a threat and it is not the best time to play by the
rules. For example, terms like "security," "Iran nukes," "war on Gaza" and
"Gilad Schalit" have been used in Israel to divert attention from domestic
concerns, like discrimination, racism and economic and social demands, to name a
few.It might be surprising to know that I came across many Palestinians
who really think Israeli annexation of the West Bank would be better for them.
"At least bring us back to where we were before the first intifada," some people
have told me.They base that on the fact that a worker in a shwarma
restaurant in Israel, for example, would earn NIS 10,000 a month, which is
almost double the salary a director-general in the Palestinian Authority's
institutions earns.Again, economics! Needless to say that this kind of
thinking wasn't common, let alone openly expressed, particularly not in the
years of the first intifada, for example, a time when Palestinians felt a
greater sense of unity as a society and faith in themselves as freedom
seekers.What I want to say is although we still have ideological and
patriotic people, and many of them, economics has become of greater importance
in the lives of people frustrated and exhausted by poverty. It moves people to
take to the streets, more than political problems do.Mothers from both
sides have told a team from the Women Without Borders organization, "Why should
my son and not the sons of politicians suffer in order to defend the country?"
This is an obvious shift from the time when more mothers were proud of their
children's patriotic role, and reflects people's distrust of
politicians.In general, the not-so-great performance of the Israeli
Left, and the no-so-great performance of the PA along with other regional and
political factors, played a role in people's disenchantment with the conflict as
well as to their own societies' issues.A 19-year-old working as a
fisherwoman to support her poor family in Gaza wasn't much of a story that the
public related to. In a sea full of male workers with barely any women, it was
obviously not the safest environment for this woman to work.Recently in
Israel, an uproar was created after a young crowd watched and cheered as a
reportedly drunk woman engaged in group sexual activity on a Tel Aviv's beach in
the middle of the day.Socially, or politically, stories such as the
these were unlikely to pass easily in the good old days, when both the Israeli
and the Palestinian societies each believed in their own culture, people and
national goals.The comparison between the Palestinians and Israelis
might seem far-fetched as each one of them has its own uniqueness, and I am not
saying that the two communities are facing the same issues. However, some
similarities can be found between the two people's struggles among themselves
and might stress the need for thinkers, analysts and the elite to address this
problem.This social disintegration is a key element of driving people to
the extremes and more toward the Right. Losing faith in one's people and nation
threatens our societies' identities, foundations and future aspirations, and
furthermore negatively affects our ability to create peace – the only way we can
guarantee a bright future for coming generations.People do not care as
they once did, and we should be worried. It seems our leaders are more concerned
with remaining in power than with actual change, with progress and achieving
peace. I fear this is now politics as usual here.The writer is a
Palestinian freelance journalist and producer working in the West Bank.

But then we had 1, and she's not really high-needs but she still knocked us out of the ballpark; we adore her, but maaaaan, were we ever done. Especially dh. I was more on the fence and had only just recently decided that 1 child was a good plan. I guess I need a new plan now.

Special Correspondent
Good response to book exhibition elates publisher
Increase in demand for science fiction and general knowledge booksComputer science-related books as also fiction finding favour with readers
MYSORE: All those who lamented the death of the printed word and the reading habit with the advent of the Internet and 24-hour entertainment channels can take heart now. For, the doomsday scenario predicted has turned out to be a false alarm.
The sale of books and the growing popularity of classics are proof that some things will never go out of practise, the reading habit among the discerning being one of them.
Proof, if any, is in the response to the book exhibition being conducted by Navakarnataka Publications at Nanjaraja Bahudur Choultry, where over one lakh titles are on display. From art and culture to agriculture, yoga and philosophy to science and humanities, fiction and self-improvement books or those huge unabridged dictionaries some of us love to display in our showcase... the list is endless. What is more, new titles are added every day to cater for the demand of the public.
Satyanarayana of Navakarnataka Publications told The Hindu that there has been an increase in the demand for science fiction and general knowledge books, which is an indication that the new generation of readers are keen to widen their horizons. The other popular genres finding favour with people are computer science-related books as also fiction, including Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, which are among the fast moving books. Among Kannada authors, there is a perennial demand for the works of Kuvempu, S.L. Bhyrappa, Shivaram Karanth and Poornachandra Tejaswi.
This feedback from a publishing house that conducts book exhibition in the city regularly should set at rest the notion that people are being weaned away from books.
The book exhibition is on till February 10.


text: Chile's Gun-Control Lesson for Americans by Jacob G. Hornberger April 1, 2013 One of the popular arguments for gun control is that people don't need assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, and certain types of high-powered pistols to shoot deer. That argument, however, ignores the primary rationale for the Second Amendment, which was to ensure that people retained the means to resist tyranny at the hands of the federal government. Statists give short shrift ... [click for more]

I made a lot of shortbread cookies last month for the holidays, but this month all I can think about is chocolate. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I am 8 1/2 months pregnant and living off of toast, cereal and every piece of chocolate I can get my hands on! It started with sneaking Hersey's miniatures during the holidays. The taste of pure chocolate is heaven to me, and in these times of feeling bloated, exhausted and just really huge, I need those little moments of heaven more than ever.
This cookie has the same texture as my traditional shortbread cookies, buttery, crumbly and decadent. The cocoa powder offers a nice, slightly bitter contrast to the "buttery" taste of the dough. My 4-year-old loves the shortbread solo, with no filling. However, me and the rest of the Rudnicki clan LOVE a little chocolate filling sandwiched between two cookies. The filling needs about an hour to properly set, but truth be told I have been known to eat a couple right away…so delicious! These are the perfect cookies to serve with coffee or ice cold soy milk. They keep fresh for a few days in an airtight container. I think these cookies would be perfect for Valentine's Day, cut out with heart cookie cutters instead of the 2-inch-round ones I used in the picture.
As with my other shortbread recipe, be sure to keep a little ramekin of flour next to your work surface, and flour your board and rolling pin. The dough doesn't need to be chilled and can be used right away after mixing. Keep an eye on your oven and don't over bake the cookies. You don't want them too crumbly.
Enjoy and happy baking!
Dairy, Egg and Nut Free Chocolate Shortbread Sandwich Cookies
2 sticks dairy free margarine
2/3 c. confectioners' sugar
1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 3/4 c. unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 c. cocoa powder
Chocolate Filling
1 1/4 c. dairy free chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life or Divvies)
1/2 c. soy or rice milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the dairy free margarine until soft and creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and mix well.
In a seperate medium bowl, combine the flour and cocoa powder. Add to the margarine mixture and mix on medium low until the dough comes together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
Transfer dough to floured work surface and roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick circle. Use a 2-inch-cookie cutter (dipped in a little ramekin of flour) and cut circles, rerolling as needed. Place dough circles on prepared baking sheet and bake 18-20 minutes. Let cool.
To make Chocolate Filling: In a small saucepan, combine the dairy free chocolate chips, soy milk and vanilla and simmer over low heat until chocolate and soy milk are melted together. Use a rubber spatula to stir often.
To Fill Cookies: Use a small butter knife and spread about a teaspoon of chocolate filling on the bottom of one shortbread cookie, and use another cookie to make a sandwich. Let the cookie sandwiches set for about an hour so the filling can harden.

"Eclectic mix"
This was definetely an eclectic mix of stories that I would not have normally bought on my own except that I was looking for one author in particular "Diana Gabaldon". The narration was good, except with it being mostly the same people sometimes you forget what story you're listening to and have to take a min and re-acclamate yourself. Overall it opened me up to genres and authors that I normally would not have tried.

During a six day stay in Barcelona, this was by far the best coffee shop we found. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, great coffee, tea, crepes, cookies, cake, breakfast ... I could go on! And that's even without mentioning how conveniently located it is just off The Ramblas. Hope to visiting again soon.
