Ok hotel, close to beach and boardwalkPosted Aug 23, 2016
The room smelled really bad. There was dirt on the floor. Good air conditioning. Close to board walk and beach. Small pool but nice. Staff didnt know where towels were to give us more.

Close to the beachPosted Aug 9, 2016
Close to the beach and night life of the board walk. The actual room wasn't great. It reeked of must. The shower was either ice cold or burning hot. The beds weren't that comfortable and the comforters were crap. The wifi didn't work. For price and location I would possibly book again.

Not worth the moneyPosted Aug 5, 2016
My girlfriend and I chose the sea breeze hoping it was a hidden gem for the price compared to surrounding hotels. The sea breeze was anything but a gem. The only positive comment I have for the hotel is the front desk girl who's name was Joy. Joy was very pleasant and helpful even though she said she wasn't from the area. Joy still managed to help us anyway she could. As for the hotel...the room includes free wifi internet which was non-existent. One of the blankets on the bed had a large hole in it. The room smelt very stale and there was an obvious sent of cigarettes even though it was advertised as a non smoking room. The bathroom did not have a clean look or feel to it. The shower had soap scum on the tiles and the grout was a dingy brown. The bathroom sink faucet did not have an aerator. The moment you turned the water on it would spray all over the place and end up on the floor. This made washing your hands or brushing your teeth very frustrating. Last but not least! THE HOTEL RAN OUT OF TOWELS!!! I don't know how this happens but it's unacceptable. A normal hotel should stock enough towels for every room to have an extra if needed. We had to wait several hours or until the next day to get more towels. Steer clear of the Sea Breeze everyone. Spend a few more dollars and enjoy a much more pleasant experience.

Conveniently located but terrible.Posted Jul 11, 2016
Pros: Located directly across the street from the beach,
Cons: Everything needs improvement.
Location: Everything is within walking distance.
This was absolutely the worst hotel that I have ever stayed in. The room had a terrible oder that hits you as soon as you walk in to the room. The hotel is outdated and it shows. The pillow was....ok, I still have to laugh about this one because I below they stuff two cloth in the pillow and that's what we got.

Girls Weekend-Great Place To Stay!Posted Jun 6, 2016
Pros: Location, Clean, Staff
Cons: signing the "no visitors after 9pm" rule was a bit much. I get it for the graduates that are staying there, but we were mid 30 year old women.
Location: Beach 1 block, Boardwalk 1 block, de Lazy Lizard 1 block, Fishtales 20 blocks (great walk), Nathans hotdogs are right across the street and open late.
Great location - one block from the beach, one block to de Lazy Lizard (awesome cheap happy hours), one block to boardwalk. Great room - clean, smelled good, tv worked great, mini fridge, microwave, desk, shower only no tub which is fine if you don't have babies with you, walls seem a little thin (it was also senior week and there were some graduates next door). Staff is friendly and helpful. Wifi didn't seem to be working with the code they gave us. They said they have had issues and just switched companies. The rate was very cheap and it was well worth it. I will be returning to this place with my children or future girl weekends.

Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Tommy P. Beaudreau announced that BOEM will hold the first oil and natural gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. This announcement is consistent with steps President Obama announced in May, 2011 to expand domestic oil and gas production safely and responsibly.
This sale follows BOEM's completion of a supplemental environmental impact statement analyzing the effects of the Deepwater Horizon spill on the Western Gulf of Mexico. Lease Sale 218 will be held in the Louisiana Superdome in downtown New Orleans on Dec. 14, 2011. The sale will include all available unleased areas in the Western Gulf Planning Area offshore Texas.
"This sale is an important step toward a secure energy future that includes safe, environmentally-sound development of our domestic energy resources that will continue to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and create jobs here at home," Secretary Salazar said. "Since the Deepwater Horizon spill, we have strengthened oversight at every stage of the oil and gas development process, including deepwater drilling safety, subsea blowout containment, and spill response capability. Exploration and development of our Western Gulf's vital energy resources will continue to help power our nation and drive our economy."
"BOEM was established to oversee the responsible development of the nation's offshore resources and to ensure a fair return for the American taxpayer through lease sales." said Director Beaudreau. "We are committed to balanced decision-making by ensuring that appropriate consideration of the environment is given in every case. The decision to hold this sale was made after careful analysis of the best scientific information available regarding the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill."
Lease Sale 218, the last remaining Western Gulf Planning Area sale scheduled in the 2007-2012 Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Natural Gas Leasing Program, encompasses 3,913 unleased blocks covering more than 21 million acres. The blocks are located from nine to about 250 miles offshore, in water depths ranging from 16 to more than 10,975 feet (5 to 3,346 meters). BOEM estimates the lease sale could result in the production of 222 to 423 million barrels of oil and 1.49 to 2.65 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
The Final Notice of Sale (FNOS) gives the lease terms and economic conditions for this particular sale. It includes an increase in the minimum bid amount for blocks in water depths of 1,312 feet (400 meters) and greater from $37.50 to $100 per acre. The minimum bid amount for leases in the shallower water depths will remain at $25 per acre.
This change is based on a rigorous historical analysis of the last 15 years of lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico. The analysis, adjusted for energy prices at time of each sale, demonstrates that leases that received high bids of less than $100 per acre have experienced virtually no exploration and development activities. Raising the minimum bid will discourage companies from inventorying offshore acreage that they are unlikely to explore during the lease term.
The lease sale package also includes environmental stipulations requiring that operators protect biologically sensitive features, as well as marine mammals and sea turtles. These stipulations will require trained observers to ensure compliance and restrict operations when conditions warrant.
All terms and conditions for Western Sale 218 are detailed in the FNOS information package, which is available at: http://boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Leasing/Regional-Leasing/Gulf-of-Mexico-Region/Lease-Sales/218/Proposed-Notice-of-Sale-218-Package.aspx. Copies can also be requested from the Gulf of Mexico Region's Public Information Unit at 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, New Orleans, LA 70123, or at 800-200-GULF (4853).
The FNOS can be viewed today in the Federal Register at: http://www.ofr.gov/(X(1)S(jbdorpwoct2r0qdmnbo1nxyv))/OFRUpload/OFRData/2011-29340_PI.pdf.

Elizabethton Relay For Life kicks off to end cancer
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - 24 hour walk-a-thons to raise money for the fight against cancer have been around since the mid-80's, and throughout the Tri-Cities communities come together for Relay For Life to honor the survivors and remember those who have lost the battle.
Friday's relay was in Carter County at Elizabethton High School where teams of people camped out and walked the track to find a cure.
Volunteers began setting up well before 5 P.M. and the kick-off began at 7 P.M. with the survivor lap.
During that lap, all cancer survivors took the first lap around the track celebrating their victory over cancer. The other participants lined the track and cheered them on.
A luminaria ceremony took place to remember people who lost their lives to cancer, honor those people who have fought cancer in the past and support those whose fight continues today.
During the ceremony, candles were lit inside bags lining the track. People had a chance to personalize those bags when they signed up.
News 5 spoke with two year breast cancer survivor Debbie Perry and she gave an encouraging message to those who are still battling.
"If you're still fighting, just don't give up. My sister fought it for like well ten years basically but she passed away in October. But, there is hope for everybody," says Perry.
Perry tells News 5 the most important thing you can do is get a mammogram.

TELLURIDE, Colo.--Some sort of symbolic divide was crossed here Friday, on the opening night of the 28th Telluride Film Festival, when the Telluride Medal was presented to Colin Collender, head of HBO Films.
Making the presentation, Telluride co-director Tom Luddy observed that much of the best work in American film these days is being produced on cable television. It is the simple truth.
Collender oversaw the production of Mike Nichols' "Wit," an HBO film earlier this year with an Emma Thompson performance that would be leading the Oscar sweeps, if it had opened in theaters. To Telluride he brought Agnieszka Holland's "Shot in the Heart," based on a book written by the brother of Gary ("The Executioner's Song") Gilmore.
Focusing on the last week of the two-time killer's life, the movie stars Giovanni Ribisi as his quiet, tortured younger brother, and Elias Koteas as Gilmore. It takes place mostly in the form of death row conversations and flashbacks to the tortured childhoods of all the Gilmore brothers (Sam Shepard and Amy Madigan play their parents). The movie is too dark and perhaps too ambitious for theatrical release; cable guarantees it an audience, and it is worth noting that "The Executioner's Song," with its brilliant early Tommy Lee Jones performance, was also made for cable.
Telluride is a celebration of film, period--not just new theatrical films, but made-for-cable, classics, restorations, revivals, student films, whatever seems first rate. The guest programmer's name is always kept a secret, this year with better reason than usual, because it is Salman Rushdie, the novelist put under death sentence by the Iranian fundamentalists for his writings. He is here with a sampling of Indian films (including Satyajit Ray's little-known children's film "The Golden Fortress") and another sampling of science fiction (including the silent "Metropolis" with live music by the Alloy Orchestra, and Andrei Tarkovsky's science-fiction epic "Solaris").
The three Telluride Tributes this year are to Catherine Breillat, the French director who uses explicit sex in her work; Om Puri, the legendary Indian actor now becoming well known in the west with films like "My Son the Fanatic"; and the British director Ken Russell, who made a torrent of passionate and sometimes overwrought films in the 1960s through the 1980s ("Women in Love," "The Devils," "The Music Lovers") and now claims he is reduced to making home movies on video.
When I first came to Telluride in 1980 the festival was shoehorned into four tiny venues--the jewel box Opera House, the little Nugget theater on Main Street, the Mason's Hall, and the Quonset hut Community Center--plus of course the free outdoor screenings. Since then the Community Center has disappeared, the high school gymnasium has been converted into the vast Max theater (with the little Minnie nearby), the 800-seat Chuck Jones Cinema appeared in the Mountain Village at the top of the ski lift, and this year the grade school gym has become the 600-seat Galaxy, with eye-popping graphics that cross Copernicus with Jules Verne.
These temporary cinemas, which are state of the art, are put up and taken down in a week; festival goers race from one to another, trying to juggle impossible schedules. On Saturday night, for example, did you want to go to the Om Puri tribute with the premiere of his new film "Mystic Masseur," or to Harold Lloyd's silent classic "Speedy" with a live performance by the Alloy Orchestra, or the Cannes prize-winning Eskimo drama "The Fast Runner," or the new Dogma movie "Italian For Beginners," or the twisted cop drama "Lantana," with Anthony LaPaglia? Choose one of the above. (I chose "Speedy" because I knew I would never again be able to see it in 35mm with a live orchestra.)
My festival began on Friday night with "The Cat's Meow," Peter Bogdanovich's best film of recent years, which is based on a persistent Hollywood legend that William Randolph Hearst shot and killed Hollywood executive Thomas Ince on his yacht, and had the incident hushed up. In Bogdanovich's version, based on a script and play by Steven Peros, Hearst (Edward Herrmann) thought his mistress Marian Davies (Kirsten Dunst) was having an affair with Charlie Chaplin (Eddie Izzard), and shot Ince (Cary Elwes) thinking he was Chaplin. One juicy scene shows gossip columnist Louella Parsons (Jennifer Tilly) as a witness who gets a lifetime contract as the price for her silence, Bogdanovich says he first heard the story from Orson Welles; the Ince death has never been satisfactorily explained. In between the movies, there's brunch at a dude ranch, a feed on Main Street for all attendees, and the prospect of walking down Main Street and running into Faye Dunaway, Ken Burns, Milos Forman or Catherine Keener.
The town is also filled with a few hundred motorcycle club members, middle-aged, genial and despite their leathers extremely unlike Hells Angels. One told me they knew nothing about a film festival: "We bike up here for the mountain scenery and the burgers at the Floradora Saloon."

Metta World Peace is Lakers backup small forward
Mike Brown talked to the then-named Ron Artest soon after getting the job as Lakers head coach and revealed plans to move Artest to the bench.
Brown and the now-named Metta World Peace revealed Thursday the plans remain the same, which mean Matt Barnes will be the Lakers' starting small forward unless Luke Walton, who has been impressive in training camp, can take the job from him. World Peace would get more post-up opportunities and get to do more on offense without so often being on the court with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, Brown said.
Brown also said he has told World Peace repeatedly that he'll be held accountable for the performance of the bench unit, which Brown is "pretty sure" will feature Steve Blake at point guard with Derek Fisher remaining the starter.
"In his own uncanny way," Brown said of World Peace, whom he previously coached in Indiana, "he's a leader."
World Peace said he was embracing the idea, even though he has almost always been a starter in his career: "Coach has got a good plan," he said.

Ministerial changes are coming to Chattanooga, some expected and some a surprise. Expected every year are annual appointments at the Holston United Methodist Conference. Those will be announced later this week.
In the Methodist process, change or no change begins with the local church personnel committee. They take their wishes to the Chattanooga District Superintendent who takes any changes to the bishop. Pastors are appointed one year at a time, from June to June. The Bishop makes the appointment in consultation with the cabinet, comprised of the bishop and the 12 district superintendents.
Those are expected. Several unexpected changes among other denominations have been coming over a period of several months. Dr. William Dudley, long-time beloved senior pastor at Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church, is winding down his ministry following an announcement many months ago that he would be retiring. He gave the church a lengthy time to find a new pastor and that process has been going forward.
Then just this past week Dr. Tim Filston told the congregation that over the past months, his family has been in conversation with First Presbyterian Church of Thomasville, GA. They have extended a call for him to be their senior pastor and he has accepted. The family will move from Signal Mountain this summer after 11 years.
"There's always going to be a feeling of interruption and unfinished business when a season of ministry comes to a close.," Dr. Filston noted. "We know that nothing in this life is complete until the trumpet sounds, the Lord makes all things new, and we say "goodbye" to goodbyes. We will be here a number of weeks. I will work through the end of the month. Our plan at this point is to move at the end of July."
Earlier in the spring, Dr. J. Render Caines, long-time senior pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church, announced his retirement after 25 years in leading the church to the East Brainerd community and in construction of a large Anglo/Norman Romesque building with multiple and far-reaching ministries.
"In Chronicles 28:9-10, as Solomon faces the impending responsibility of becoming Israel's leader, his father David urges him to seek the Lord, to be careful, to be strong and do it.," Dr. Caines said.
In line with the Presbyterian Church of America's Book of Church Order, this spring the motion was begun toward the calling of a new pastor. This is a lengthy process, the pulpit committee has been appointed and is at work. Once the congregation and the candidate agree then the Presbytery makes the decision to call the pastor and to install him as the new senior pastor.
"This is a moment of great importance in the history and future of CPC. Therefore, I urge you to seek the Lord, to proceed carefully, to be strong in your faith and then do what is required," Dr. Cairnes said to the congregation.
Dr. J. Render Caines has been Senior Pastor since 1988. He has served as a trustee of Covenant College since 1985, and also serves as board member and an adjunct Professor of Biblical Studies. Dr. Caines graduated from Covenant College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. He also earned a Master of Divinity from Westminster Theological Seminary and a Doctorate of Ministry degree from Covenant Theological Seminary. Prior to coming to Covenant Presbyterian Church, Dr. Caines served on Grand Cayman Island, as well as Sparta, Illinois, Simpsonville, South Carolina and East Ridge, Tennessee. Dr. Caines has been an influential voice in the Presbyterian Church in America, serving as Stated Clerk of the Tennessee Valley Presbytery for eighteen years. He and his wife, Linda, have six children and twenty two grandchildren.
Dr. David Brown, long-time minister of Pilgrim Congregational Church, announced in April that he plans to retire at the end of the year. "While I know that this is the right time both for Pilgrim and for Barbara and me," Dr. Brown said, "this does not mean there are no regrets. I wish I was younger and could give another 10 years of service to you. But by the end of this year I will be nearly 77 years old. I do not feel that old but it is something I have to take seriously."
Recently Dr. Brown marked the 50th anniversary of his ordination. This also is the year when the church will celebrate it's 100th anniversary. He said he hopes the next eight months will be a time of celebration and progress.
"Serving as pastor of Pilgrim Church has been the most meaningful ministry in my career." Dr. Brown said. "Each of the 12 churches I have served had their own challenges and rewards, but Pilgrim is special.
"From my long ago days as a Boy Scout, I remember that we were told to leave a campsite better than we found it. This is in no way a criticism of those who served here before me, but I do believe I am leaving Pilgrim Church in a better place than I found it. This is something we have accomplished together. I am so grateful for what all of you have done in working with me to make this happen. A pastor is no better than the people and you are a great congregation."
A final thought, he said is that "you need have no concern about Pilgrim's future. There are many fine younger clergy in the United Church of Christ who will be delighted to be considered for this ministry. At an appropriate time, you and your leaders will elect an interim pastor and a search committee to select a new pastor. Someone is going to be very fortunate to be chosen."
Finally in the current list of changes are two ministers at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Associate Rector Suzanne Smitherman will retire in September. A church leader for the past nine years, she made the decision this spring.
Andy Olivo who has been at St. Paul's as a seminarian, curate and associate rector, will leave this week to become assistant rector at St. John's Church, Lafayette Square, in the Diocese of Washington, D.C.

Subway Walls Offer The Perfect Spot For A Petition [Video]
Agency TBWA installed billboards where people can sign to help fight change.
Agency TBWA installed a petition for French NGO Action Contre La Faim (Action Against Hunger) at a subway station in Paris.
The petition consisted of a series of billboards depicting the dangers that volunteers face while working to fight against world hunger in conflict-stricken countries like Sri Lanka, where 17 aid workers were killed back in 2006.
The last billboard provided a space for people to sign the petition to fight for change and protect humanitarian volunteers.
Check out the video about the campaign below.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ...

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Rosarito-Ensenada 50 Mile Fun Bicycle Rides
Baja California, Mexico
Bicycling West
Entry information: PO Box 15128,
San Diego CA 92175-5128
The Rosarito Ensenada 50 Mile Fun Bicycle Ride is the West Coast's largest biking event, with approximately 10,000 participants in the spring ride (mid-April) and around 8000 riders in the fall ride (late September). The route begins with a 22-mile cruise taking cyclists south along the Baja coastline on the free road (Mexico 1) before heading inland for two miles through the rural countryside. Riders then turn south for a two-mile climb up El Tigre Mountain (more correctly El Tigre hill). From the mesa plateau, the trip winds through eight hilly miles before dropping downhill and then along the ocean until the finish line just outside Ensenada. Friends and family can accompany in cars by riding the Federal Toll Road from Rosarito to Ensenada, and all can unite for the Finish Line Fiesta. The party runs from 1:00 p.m. through sunset and features live music, food, dancing, and souvenirs, not to mention opportunities for cyclists to ease their swollen joints and aching muscles with massages and chiropractic services. The entry fee is $20 U.S. plus $1.00 Mexican City Tax, which covers purified water, minor bicycle repairs, and medical support (U.S. based) plus a free beer or soft drink at the Fiesta.

It so happens that I'm familiar with a lot of the backstory - the rise of biblical criticism and the questioning of who Homer was - that serve as a foundation to the earliest anti-Stratfordian theories. It's easy to understand how, in the early 19th century, people who felt this approach so important could be convinced that another great author was not who he seemed. But as time went by, this became a story of lies, deceit and forgery, as well as convoluted conspiracy theories.
Deep down, it seems that there are two essential elements that come into play. The first is that, according to skeptics, there is no way the son of a glover could have written so eloquently about so many things. His limited education could not have enabled him to write such profound plays. As if in the nature vs. nurture argument, only nurture counts. This has been proven wrong with many artists, musicians and authors who came from humble beginnings, so it seems like a moot point, and surprises me that so many people bring up this point to deny Shakespeare's legitimacy.
The second element is the belief, which became prevalent in the romantic period, that all art is personal; that art reflects personal experiences. If this is the case, the skeptics say, then Shakespeare, who never visited Italy, could not have written about Italy. This argument seems childish to me; could a writer who has never visited Mars write about that planet?Read more ›
But there is a long tradition that Francis Bacon or Edward deVere (or many others) wrote Shakespeare's works, and that somehow generations of scholars have been fooled. Why anyone would think anything so preposterous on the face of it, has always interested me. I once put it down to snobbery, that the son of a glove-maker from Stratford could not have been smart enough to write such plays.
But it is more complicated than this. Shapiro's main idea is that many people want to believe that such great writing has to be based on experience, and Shakespeare could not have had the experiences which led to the poems and plays.
Shapiro is a scholar of Shakespeare, but in this book he had to treat many times and subjects, from 19th century positivism to Freud, and had to try to explain why such great thinkers as Mark Twain, Henry James and Sigmund Freud believed that someone else wrote Shakespeare. Surprisingly, Shapiro is respectful of what others would call lunacy. To explain one phase of the movement, which purported to find hidden codes in the plays, he explains how the development the telegraph and Morse code infused the culture of the times.
Shakespeare's poetry is of such extraordinary depth and beauty that it seems that it could only have been written by a man of letters, not an actor.Read more ›

Christmas desserts
Started by Pull Up A Beanbag , Dec 19 2012 02:24 PM
10 replies to this topic
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:24 PM
Quite apart from the fact I got asked to bring "the deserts", I need some ideas.
Flying down night of 28th. Family Xmas dinner is sometime on the 29th.
Needs to be something I can do in the morning, after a quick shop with Mum
Thinking a fruit platter, a Viennetta/icecream based thing and something else. I have +0 to cooking skill, but will have mum there for baking assistance.
Would rumballs be a bit lame? Or "chocolate balls" since I'll have 2 young nieces there.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:34 PM
As per the other thread for easy desserts, I suggest either an Eton mess or affogato. Neither require 'cooking' and can be assembled using good quality, store bought ingredients to create something fairly special.
Or order something from a gourmet bakery.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:42 PM
I've made little mini Xmas puddings, so easy, just get a fruitcake and crumble it, mix with a bit of Brandy (or orange juice for kids), shape into balls, ice with icing sugar and lemon juice mixture and decorate with a tiny piece of glacé cherry to look like a little Xmas pudding.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 09:18 PM
Ice cream pudding. Good quality vanilla ice cream left to soften then mix through goodies of choice. This year I'm doing craisins, pistachios & dark choc chips. If adults only add a liberal glug of Tia Maria/Baileys/whatever. Re-freeze in a glad wrap lined pudding bowl then turn out onto a plate & cut. Or just scoop out.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 09:28 PM
Mini pavlovas
You can buy the mini cases at woolworths. Add vanilla cream and sprinkle crushed up cherry ripes and peppermint crisps. Then to finish off add a slice of strawberry on top. They are delicious

No one can finish a whole one - we all find them too sweet!
That being said, I'm thinking a modified trifle/Eton mess with crushed pav bases, custard, fruit and jelly sounds pretty good.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 09:33 PM
I'm making a couple of pavlovas this year as we are feeding a crowd and I have fresh farm eggs, so need to use them up. I just whip them up the night before and let them dry out in the oven overnight after they're cooked.

I'm doing this for the non-pudding eaters. Mine will be 1 litre Vanilla icecream, 14 roughly chopped Ferreros and 1-2 cups of frozen berries.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 07:08 AM
Oh no, I was all set for desserts for Christmas but the 2 suggestions for ice cream puddings sound DELICIOUS!
I was going to suggest Trifle OP with a dash of Christmas with red/green jelly, red berries.
One of my treats is mars bar slice ingredients rolled in to balls, drizzled with white melted choc and topped with red candy beads.
I am also making a fruit tree. Styrofoam cone, toothipics, red/green grapes, strawberries, kiwi fruit (sliced, skin on), rockmelon star on top and gingerbread shapes throughout tree. Greenery placed at base - like mint for example.

On this day (8/24/16) in Dramatic Skywalker News:
Luke Skywalker, while of course having no problems with Poe Dameron using an X-wing to blow up Starkiller Base, apparently determined that the man's triumphant words "I flew right into the reactor core and blew it up point-blank" were actually a challenge.
Today, he flew his X-wing into the reactor of an Imperial Star Destroyer, scraping the wings of his fighter on both sides as he went, and blew up the reactor of the Star Destroyer at point-blank range.
"You know, I thought, 'If Lando and Poe could both do it, why not me?'", Skywalker said. "It sounded like fun, and so I did it, and let me tell you–it was so much fun. I even got to fake my death afterwards and make it dramatic!"
Said drama came in the form of jettisoning the exploding reactor from the Star Destroyer and stealing the entire Star Destroyer itself. There is no word on whether or not Skywalker stole the ship in order to also one-up Poe Dameron's theft of a First Order luxury yacht, but considering his already-respectable list of ship thefts–including the Emperor's own shuttle–it is doubtful that this was the case.
Wedge Antilles was also, as usual, present for the attack run, but once again his contributions amounted to little more than "Good luck, buddy!" Antilles has declined to comment.

As the proliferation of the cloud continues, Cloud Protection Gateways are increasingly being discussed as a way to address security issues surrounding cloud adoption. Whatever stage of cloud adoption your organization is in, a thorough vetting of the different gateways available will be important to address key security issues, including data residency concerns, industry compliance and internal security best practices.
Key Features of Cloud Protection Gateways
Cloud Protection Gateways will be an integral part of your cloud adoption strategy. These gateways are built to intercept sensitive data while it is still physically on the premise of an organization and replace it with a random tokenized or strongly encrypted value. This process renders the data meaningless should anyone attempt to hack the data while it's in transit, being processed or stored in the cloud. Choosing a provider means trusting that provider's technological capabilities and soundness.
Choosing a Gateway - An Inclusive Business Decision
Choosing a Cloud Protection Gateway Provider impacts multiple teams within your organization. The following groups bring a unique perspective and can provide valuable insights to the decision:
- Security Team - security of data may be the primary reason the gateway is being acquired.
- Governance & Risk Team - to ensure the gateway is in line with regulations and company policies (i.e., data privacy).
- Information Technology Team - are typically involved with deployment and management of the selected gateway.
- End User Team - they will be using the applications moved to the cloud and will be affected by any impact that gateway has on application functionality.
The Key Information to Gather from Gateway Providers
The Security Team
The security team will want to know the details about the type of underlying security techniques being used to protect your data, beginning with whether the security strategy is encryption or tokenization.
If the security technique is encryption, the security team will want to know what algorithms are used and whether they are proprietary or certified by strong standards such as NIST FIPS 140-2. The security team will also have specific questions about who keeps control of keys. Best practice is to keep that control in the hands of your enterprise. It's also important to know whether existing third-part encryption key management solutions can be used versus adopting a new system, and whether that would impact usability.
If tokenization is the security strategy, the security team will need a third-party evaluation of the tokenization technique used so your enterprise can be sure best practices and guidelines on the best ways to deploy and use tokenization are being followed.
Key Information for Other Internal Teams
In an upcoming blog post, we'll consider what other information is important to gather from the perspective of the Governance & Risk Team, Information Technology Team and End User Team. In the meantime, take a look at the specifics of the PerspecSys Cloud Encryption Gateway and how it can help your enterprise implement a robust and secure cloud adoption strategy.
PerspecSys Inc. is a leading provider of cloud protection and cloud encryption solutions that enable mission-critical cloud applications to be adopted throughout the enterprise. Cloud security companies like PerspecSys remove the technical, legal and financial risks of placing sensitive company data in the cloud. PerspecSys accomplishes this for many large, heavily regulated companies across the world by never allowing sensitive data to leave a customer's network, while maintaining the functionality of cloud applications.

Sharding has become a popular means of achieving scalability in application architectures in which read/write data separation is not only possible, but desirable to achieve new heights of concurrency. The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency. That is, it takes a bit of time to replicate changes initiated by a "write" to the read-only master database. It's eventually consistent, and it'...

Thomas Bitman of Gartner wrote a blog post last year about why OpenStack projects fail. In that article, he outlined three particular metrics which together cause 60% of OpenStack projects to fall short of expectations: Wrong people (31% of failures): a successful cloud needs commitment both from the operations team as well as from "anchor" tenants. Wrong processes (19% of failures): a successful cloud automates across silos in the software development lifecycle, not just within silos.

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resource...

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
We obsessively cover the auto industry at Autoblog, but keeping up with the latest auto news and finding the right car should not require being chained to your desk or stuck in a coffee shop. With the Autoblog app, you can now take the latest in automotive news, reviews and car shopping tools wherever you go.
What's New in Version 2.0.0
- New UI with emphasis on "Featured" content and imagery
- New swipe behavior allowing easier access to menu, search and additional content
- Easy access to car buying research tools and new and used vehicle listings
iPhone Screenshots
Customer Reviews
The latest update to the Autoblog application can be said to be an overall improvement to the user experience but it can also be said to have its cons as well. First the positives and that can be said to be the enriched auto tools that allow you to easier research vehicles to buy, lease, price or get information on. The update has also allowed Autoblog VR to be incorporated which allows you a simulated experience from inside a vehicle when driving. In terms of aesthetics the interface hasn't improved much to take advantage of the high resolution iOS 9 offers which is a shame since users should be able to view many of the beautiful vehicles in a much better light, especially since sideshow galleries are now present. The vehicle news section has been expanded with many more categories including old favorites such as Autoblog Green, Translogic, and new ones such as celebrity, H2 powered and many more. A drawback can be said here as the news section is a bit more complicated instead of the more simple four main categories of news which existed in the old app. The darker background to articles also makes it more difficult to read. Users can still share and save these articles though. The new version of the app offers many improvements and is still recommended as a download for those who love to follow the automotive world.
Still no iPad support!?
New update is sharp but I didn't like the sliding mechanism I much rather go with the previous one that had the listed articles so please give us the option to choose either sliding or fully lested articles
Huge Disappointment
This used to be my obsession for auto news each day. Now, with the latest update, I can't see the entire article headline. I have to open each article to see if it is worth reading. Who's idea was that?! Now I only open the app if I'm really bored and desperate for auto news. So sad.

Well then all the quotes and scriptures bible thumpers want to throw at people are pointless since you have now set us clear on that. No more spewing of the all righteousness that is your "God".<quoted text>
Nope. Anyone can say who's a sinner. And they do.
So grow up.
And no, God is not all loving and caring and nurturing.
He is also quite often spiteful and vengeful and just cranky.
So if you want him to respect you and your sexual views, you too should be loving and cranky, in no particular order.
If he is a spiteful and vengeful then surely being gay is no where near compared to half of the things he has done. And your love thy neighbor, and all the other holier than thou commands are baseless.

fb.indiewire.com – After a 14-year absence from feature filmmaking, Whit Stillman -- the beloved chronicler of preppy, privileged and highly literate youth -- makes his comeback this Friday with the release of "Damsels in Distress." Despite his time away from the big screen, Stillman hasn't been resting on his laurels. He tried (and failed) to get a number projects off the ground, including an adaptation of Christopher Buckley's political satire "Little Green Men" and "Dancing Mood," a period piece about the Kingston, Jamaica church music scene (he told Indiewire he still hopes to get that last one made).
