England diary of highlights
Mostly mild at first, but turning much colder later with some snowfall, especially in the east, and sharp frosts. Rainfall and sunshine close to average.
1st to 6th: Unsettled across most areas for the start of the month. Low pressure to the south-east of the UK was slow moving, drifting only slowly north through the first week. This led to areas of rain or showers moving in from the east across England, heavy at times, especially on the 1st and 2nd, with 20 to 30 mm of rainfall recorded in eastern areas on the 1st. Winds were generally from the east through this period, bringing a good deal of low cloud and drizzle but, when cloud did break, it became mild by day, with the temperature reaching 14.8 °C at Marham (Norfolk) on the 4th.
7th to 11th: There was a change to an Atlantic influence, with periods of rain and showers sweeping in from the west, often heavy and often accompanied by strong winds or gales, even severe gales at times. Gusts in excess of 50 m.p.h. were recorded in many areas as rain cleared through on the 8th. During the 9th, there were reports of tree and property damage in Lincolnshire after a line of heavy, squally showers and thunderstorms had moved east across central and southern England. However, despite the often wet and windy weather, temperatures fared well through this period, reaching 14.9 °C at Eastbourne (Sussex) on the 9th.
12th to 16th: After a brief mainly dry interlude on the 12th, further rain spread in from the west on the 13th. At the same time, high pressure was building from the south-west and the rain became lighter and confined to west-facing hills for much of the period. There was a good deal of low cloud but also brighter spells, especially east of high ground, and temperatures both by day and night were mild with East Bergholt (Suffolk) recording a temperature of 16.0 °C on the 14th and Ness Gardens (Cheshire) 16.1°C on the 15th. During the 16th, these conditions continued across southern counties but a colder, clearer northerly set in across the north.
17th to 20th: Large amounts of cloud across England, giving a little light rain or drizzle at times. Also a good deal of dry weather with bright or sunny intervals developing, lifting temperatures to the very mild category at times, with Teignmouth (Devon) recording a temperature of 15.9 °C on the 19th.

However, the rest of the month was unsettled with further rain or showers, these turning to sleet and snow at times by the end of the month as winds eased.

Rialto Theatre
100 E. 2nd Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 11 comments
Reopened on August 20th, 2004 after upgrades. Ad in photo section.
Reopened as Rialto on October 17th, 1922. article:
Found on Newspapers.com
stephangelos, this may be asking a lot, assuming you even check this site anymore, but since 1975, has there been a planter out front? I'm trying to reconstruct some memories, and I recall seeing a double feature: Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry and Vanishing Point there in 1975, but I can't remember if it was the Rialto or the America theater. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.
Like tag on the marquee"see a movie Tonight" don't recall seeing such a thing on a marquee.Over powers "NETWORK"which should never happen on a marquee.
This is actually owned by Movie Palaces Inc. or at least that is name listed at the bottom of their website.
The Rialto in 1994:
View link
Commonwealth leased the Rialto and the America in the 70's and possibly further back than that.
I worked part time at the Rialto as a manager for many years. It's a great treasure. I'm glad it's still around.
Can't tell you much about the history of this theater located at 2nd and Center other than the fact that Commonwealth Theaters leased the theater in 80s. In the late 80s it was sold and then remodeled. I remember standing in line several times to watch a double feature for just $1.50. Also remember, as many did waiting to see movies there for a cheap price, as they had play at the theater in Eastridge Mall or Beverly Plaza before moving to the America or Rialto downtown. The first of many double futures watched was BIG and something with John Candy I think. Last year the theater was remodeled once again. The movie screen size was reduced during this remodel.
The Rialto Theatre seated 753 people.

If you are an avid gamer you recognize the importance of a good gaming chair. They not only make the experience more comfortable; they also come with many features to improve your experience. A good gaming chair is a must if you are a serious gamer. Some of these chairs can even be folded up for easy storage.
If you are into video games you must have a good gaming chair. It will improve your experience in every way. They are comfortable. They come with great features to enhance the sound and feel of the game. If space is an issue some can even fold away for storage when not in use. (If that ever happens!)
what do you look for in a gaming chair?
So what do you look for in a gaming chair? Well, comfort is a must. However, other features are important as well. Consider speakers and wifi access are important. Take the x rocker gaming chair for example. The x rocker sits directly on the floor and is way comfortable. It has two speakers with subwoofers. Moreover, it has wireless transmission. Plus the price, at around 130 dollars, isn't bad.
Here is what to look for when you go shopping for your video game chairs. First of all it has to fit you. Make sure it is comfortable. You will be spending a lot of time in it. Next consider the quality and placement of the speakers and wifi access. The x rocker gaming chair for example sits directly on the floor. It is very comfortable. For sound it has two speakers and two subwoofers. Plus it comes equipped with wireless transmission. At $130 you might think it a steal.
If you need something a little less expensive you can get a comfortable sit on the floor rocking gaming chair for about sixty bucks. However, it won't have speakers or a console. It's a good choice for a child or someone not all that serious about gaming. At that price you could buy two.
If you budget is a little tight there are less exspensive choices. For $60 you can get a chair minus the console and speakers. Maybe this would work for a less serious gamer, a beginner or a child. At his price you might even buy two.
Another choice is the cohesion xp gaming chair. This chair is styled like a high end race car seat and comes with fully integrated speakers and subwoffers. It has a headphone jack and an easy touch control panel. Again, for around 130 dollars not a bad buy
The cohesion xp gaming chair is another good choice. You will believe you are sitting in a high end race car seat. It comes with integrated speakers and subwoofers. There is a headphone hack and an easy touch control panel. Not a bad buy for only $130.
Of course, if you really want to go upscale, you might consider the x rocker pro gaming chair. It comes with two 2.1 wireless stereo speakers, a pedestal base with gunstock arms and can play music from any source with RCA outputs. This chair surrounds you with the real experience of the game.

Just look around, you can find chairs that vibrate with the game. If you are shooting a gun you feel the vibration. If you are driving a car you sense you are moving back and forth. If you are flying a plane you can feel the motion, vibration, and sound. You can also use the surround sound features to enjoy movies and your favorite music.
Shop around, you will find chairs that even vibrate with the game. You will have a realistic feel of shooting a gun or driving a car, or flying a plane. All the motion, vibration and sound will be close to the real thing. Also remember you can sit in your chair and enjoy your favorite movies in surround sound and enjoy the music collection with fantastic sound.
Reasons Gamers Like Gaming Chair

Besides, this piece of furniture will actually shape to your back, which will help you avoid back pain after sitting down.
The Speakers – When you ask a gamer why they like their chair, they will surely mention the speakers that are built into it. That's right, gaming chairs have speakers built-into them. When you are playing, you will have sound directed towards you.
Controls – On the chair, you will find various controls. One of those controls will allow you to adjust the volume to your liking.
Wi-Fi – Depending on the brand of gaming chair you purchase, it may have wi-fi built into it. This will enable you to sit anywhere in your house and still have Internet.
The Consoles – The gaming chair is available for the PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3. By reading the gaming chair reviews, you will be able to determine what console the chair is for. Take note that many of the chairs will be able to hook up to various consoles.

We seem to be in the midst of a titanic economic upheaval — and I do mean "titanic" in several senses of the word, if you're picturing a certain maritime disaster — running oddly parallel with rapid technological advances. It's like we're going backward and forward at the same time. Jobs are vanishing, perhaps forever. But hey, is there an app for that?
I envision a world where work, as we know it today, is obsolete. It will start with companies reaching the point where, to stay competitive, they make everybody work from home — you know, so they don't have to go to the expense of renting, furnishing, supplying and insuring offices. Employees will be thrilled with this. Commute traffic will thin and, eventually, disappear. Everyone will work in sweats (winter) and shorts (summer). New etiquette rules will be adopted — silence, please, in the parks and on the beach, to accommodate those who are working! I imagine we will soon be so interconnected that anyone can reach anyone at any time, so regular work hours will be meaningless. No more eight-to-five routine. No more separating "work" from "life."
There are some pretty obvious down sides to all this. It's already increasingly difficult for people to protect their leisure time. Cell phones are simultaneously freeing and caging us. It's great to be reachable wherever you are — until the moment when it sucks to be reachable wherever you are.
I like to think of future generations looking back at us in pity and wonder. "How could they stand it?" — The way we look back at the drudgery of bygone eras. 'Work clothes' — what a concept! And why did they call it 'rush' hour when nothing was moving? How quaint it will seem.
Meanwhile, I have a job. And with every day that goes by, I become more appreciative of Virginia Woolf's insistence that every writer needs "a room of one's own." When I wrote full-time, I had that. Now? Not so much. I'm never alone, except when I'm driving. At 'rush' hour.
I don't hate my job, but it's exhausting. At night I sit numbly beside my equally-exhausted husband. He watches TV. I play games on Facebook. Both of us are recharging our batteries before heading back into the fray the next morning.
I stay up way too late, then go to bed and lie there, mind racing, unable to sleep, berating myself for not writing. How do women with children write?? It's the most I can do to play Scrabble at night, and I only have cats.
They tell me Georgette Heyer relied on dexadrine. I'd settle for a day in my sunroom now and then.

Skittish investors have been fleeing the municipal bond markets at a dizzying pace for weeks since a high-profile analyst proclaimed the apocalypse to be at hand.
Political turmoil in state capitals across the U.S. has only served to heighten the sense of financial chaos that has led to record levels of withdrawals from muni-bond funds.
Continue Reading Below
Meanwhile, savvy investors are lurking on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity to pounce.
"The only question the pros have isn't when will the Chicago Dump and Zoo Revenue Bonds go bankrupt, because they won't, but how much lower will they fall before I should step in and add them to my portfolio," bond expert and financial columnist Malcolm Berko noted wryly.
Municipal bonds are particularly popular among wealthy individual investors because the income derived from many classes of these debt securities is tax exempt. Nearly 40% of the $2.9 trillion muni-bond market is held by individual investors, according to the Federal Reserve.
Many of these investors have grown spooked by relentless accounts of state and local fiscal nightmares. And the noisy demonstrations protesting efforts by a handful of Republican governors to scale back union influence at state houses and municipal complexes in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and elsewhere have only added to fears that state and local governments are teetering on a precipice, ready to default on their debt obligations at any moment.
Those fears have taken their toll on mutual funds comprised of municipal bonds. Since banking analyst Meredith Whitney predicted in December that 50 to 100 cities and counties will default on "hundreds of billions of dollars" of municipal bonds in 2011, muni-bond funds have recorded 13 straight weeks of outflows, to the tune of more than $25 billion, according to Lipper FMI.
But bond experts say the concerns leading to these unprecedented withdrawals are almost entirely unfounded.
"Municipal securities are very safe. There could always be a rare municipality for which things get out of hand, but I believe strongly that the scare tactics fail to recognize the way that muni securities are structured," said Robert Doty, president of AGFS, a Sacramento, Calif.,-based financial research firm that advises state and local governments.
Doty is the author of a soon-to-be published book targeting muni-bond investors titled "The Municipal Bond Investors Little Handbook—How to Tune Out Media Hype and Make Intelligent Bond Investments."
Doty said the most common classes of municipal bonds among investors – general obligation bonds and traditional revenue bonds – should not be impacted either by budget gaps or pension liabilities, the two current bogeymen of state and local finances.
That's because government entities have numerous recourses before they are forced to default on their debt, namely cutting expenses and/or raising taxes.
However, "there are some muni bonds that depend upon the performance or private parties, and therefore have greater risks and rewards, but those are not the ones to which the pundits are referring," said Doty.
Some bond experts believe the demonstrations roiling state capitals throughout the Midwest could ultimately have a long-term positive effect on the muni-bond market if investor psychology is improved by the perception that government spending will be curtailed if union influence is diminished.
In Wisconsin, where the demonstrations began a week ago, newly-elected Republican Gov. Scott Walker is supporting a bill that would significantly weaken the collective bargaining powers of many of the state's public employee unions. Walker has said the state needs more bargaining flexibility with its public employee unions if Wisconsin hopes to close a projected $3.6 billion shortfall in the next two years.
"All of this back and forth certainly doesn't make investors feel any better about owning municipal securities, but longer term it's a positive for the credit strength of issuers," said Dick O'Brien, an executive vice president with Folger Nolan Fleming Douglas Inc., a Washington, D.C.,-based brokerage firm.
The demonstrations, O'Brien suggested, could serve as "a partial offset (to Whitney's dire predictions) and it will play out over time."
In any case, O'Brien said has been fielding calls for weeks from "sophisticated investors" who view the current environment as an "opportunity."
Berko described the turmoil in the muni-bond markets as "just so much noise and palaver."
Citing Illinois, which is facing a $13 billion budget deficit, Berko said the interest payments on the state's debt account for only a fraction of its overall budget "so default is not as serious as many make it out to be."
What's more, the state legislature recently approved a series of big personal and corporate tax increases to help cover the shortfall. The tax hikes, while widely unpopular and approved on a temporary basis, support the argument that government entities have measures at their disposal that make it extremely unlikely they will ever have to default on their debt.
But sophisticated muni-bond investors already know this.
"The investing public is scared but the professional investor -- the institutional investor -- knows that the best time to buy is when there's blood on the streets and when the gutters are running red," said Merko.
"There are some fantastic bargains in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and over a year ago there were plums for the picking in the California muni market, which seems to have cooled off as common sense seeped back into the equation," he added. "It will happen too in Wisconsin and elsewhere. But meanwhile the big money center banks -- the New York City investment banking firms, the PIMCOs, the Putnams, Nuveens -- and the traders are smacking their lips while all this brouhaha continues."

SAP HANA for Dummies
This article is the beginning of a series of articles "SAP HANA for Dummies" devoted to the review of the main features and security issues of SAP HANA.
We will consider the key aspects of the system itself, its security and also we will pay attention to vulnerabilities of its several modules.
The main purpose of this series is to explain the main principles of SAP HANA in understandable terms, how it can be provided to the customer, for example, in the cloud-based form or on premise. We will also discuss the main features of the system, and security issues that can be found this system and its modules.
As distinct from other manuals and articles on the security of this system, we aim not only to focus on the protection, but also to give you an idea of this system's features and the SAP strategy in the development of SAP HANA. We will see how this system can be used, what features and differences it has in comparison with other databases and, of course, discuss in detail about the features that are most interesting in terms of security.
In this article, we will consider SAP HANA in several ways:
- SAP HANA basics
- Interaction and delivery methods
- What SAP HANA can be
- Themes of the following articles
SAP HANA for Dummies: Highlights
SAP HANA is a database developed by SAP in order not to use a database by Oracle for its ERP systems.
SAP HANA is a high-performance platform for data storage and processing based on in-memory computing technology. It uses the principle of column-based data storage, which means that data is normally presented in the form of tables, but in fact these tables are a collection of columns, and each of them is a one-field table. Also, physically on the disk, the values of one field are stored consecutively one after another.
SAP HANA is used in many systems as a database or as a platform for in-memory computing. For example, it is a DBMS for a new ERP system SAP S/4 HANA, or for hosting custom applications for working with a database.
SAP S/4 HANA is a new generation of ERP systems for which only SAP HANA is used as a database and it is impossible to use another database.
For S/4 HANA, in addition to the use of the SAP HANA databases, SAP decided to imply SAP Fiori to run applications written on the UI5 engine for management and execution of business activities. Although the core of this ERP system is the SAP NetWeaver ABAP application server, many modules have been modified for better interaction with the SAP HANA database and for implementation of its analytical capabilities for the improvement of the productivity of these modules.
SAP Fiori is a new opportunity to manage and interact with the system. All the basic functions can be transferred to the web interface for easy interaction with the system or management of the ERP system. In addition, when modifying these modules, it was aimed to simplify interaction and working process while dealing with them. Therefore, some functions that used to be in different transactions, for ease of use, are now combined into one.
There are new authorization objects associated with the new modules and in particular for SAP Fiori.
You can use SAP HANA as a regular database, so to say as a single instance, so called "Singletenant". It can also be used as a server with several databases, which allows not to create multiple servers with SAP HANA in order to work with several applications with the use of this database, so that these applications would run independently. This type of installation is called "Multitenant".
In addition, it is possible to use several SAP HANA servers in a bundle, combining them into one system. This type of installation is called "Multihost", but you should keep in mind that with this type of installation a system will always be a "Multitenant" one. "Multitenant" installation always implies a system database, which is main in terms of administration, and all the general settings for the whole system are operated with its help. In order to make individual settings for a certain database that is already created you need to connect to this database and configure all the settings there. We will discuss more details about the difference in settings and their priorities for each type of installation in some of the following articles.
Interaction and usage of SAP HANA
SAP HANA Studio is used to interact with the database – this is the standard client for working with SAP HANA. It is run both by administrators and developers, but this is not the only way to manage this system. In addition to being a database, SAP HANA has some special features, for example, SAP HANA is not just a database system, but also a separate application server built into the platform. It is called HANA XS Classic or HANA XS Advanced, which we will discuss further in this article. This very service has its own standard applications that allow solving administrative tasks in the SAP HANA database, even without using special software such as SAP HANA Studio.
Now, let's have a closer look on the SAP HANA XS application server. In the past, SAP HANA used the XS Classic module to deploy clients' applications, which made it possible to quickly and conveniently interact with the database and perform administrative tasks. Since it was part of the system, three level architecture was eliminated, which now allows you not to use additional systems to deploy your applications.
As we can see in the picture, XS Classic directly forms a part of the system, which allows the applications located there to have quick access to the database, which increases the speed of these applications. Still, this module has several disadvantages. A significant drawback is the fact that it supports a small number of development languages applied for making these applications, namely XSJS (one of Server-Sedejavascrit implementations) and ODATA technology.
The more serious issue is that the applications that are located there are in the same service XS Classic instance, so that the access to all the applications can be got via one port, and in case of denial or failure of one of the applications, the entire service will stop working, which will lead to the termination of the remaining applications, although they are serviceable. After several years of using this concept, SAP decided to change it and released such component for SAP HANA as HANA XS Advanced.
XS Advanced is a new improved version of XS Classic, which is now a separate service, still supporting a three level architecture.
XS Advanced is not only an application server, but it also allows you to perform administrative tasks both in SAP HANA and your own ones. This led to the creation of new roles giving rights to work in some particular application of XS Advanced, which directly relates to the management of SAP HANA.
Also for the convenience of using this module, the ability to work with SAP HANA without using SAP HANA Studio has been improved. It became possible to develop applications directly in the browser.
The main feature is the presence of containers for applications. This means that each application runs independently from the others and a separate service process is started especially for each of them in order to run these applications. It also became possible to install not only the applications written in XSJS, but also the JAVA, C ++, Node.js, HTML5 ones. That is it for now, but in the future the number of supported languages will increase.
Types of SAP HANA
At the moment, there are two main versions of SAP HANA, these are SAP HANA 1.0 and SAP HANA 2.0. For each one, there are individual updates that come out in the form of Support Package Stacks (SPS) and Patch Levels. Every version has a separate Support Package Stack, which is released with a frequency about once in every six months. Patches for each SPS are updated about once in every 2 months, but it can be more frequent if critical vulnerabilities or bugs are found.
There are no significant differences between these systems, but in the second version, the number of possible actions for tracking in audit policies was increased, and instead of the old XS Classic only XS Advanced was supported. Since version SPS 01, SAP HANA 2.0 has become only a "Multitenant" system, which makes it more extensive, that is, if you need to add an application from a separate database, you don't have to re-install this system You can simply create another database independent from the current one. In order for users to use SAP HANA without deploying it on their servers, the SAP HANA Cloud service was developed. There are several ways how SAP HANA can be delivered, in particular:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – in this case, the vendor provides the only server on which the system will be located and the user has to install, configure and update the system.
- Also there is Platform as a Service (PaaS) – in this case, the vendor provides the user with not only the server on which the system will be hosted,but with the system itself and the user only configures and updates thesystem for its use.
- The last view is Software as a Service (SaaS) – with this usage, the user only works with the system, the configuration and updating tasks remain on the vendor's side and the user doesn't have to care about them.
Besides the differences in the provisioning, such systems have different functionality, because if it is IaaS, then such SAP HANA will not be different from what you can put on your server. To work with it, you don't need to use additional software, just specify the IP address of the server and connect both to the common SAP HANA. PaaS and SaaS demand other actions to be made. For example, there is a wide range of applications that can be deployed on the basis of SAP HANA, much more than is supported with the standard services XS Classic and XS Advanced. In addition, towork with these views, you have to use such software as SAP HANA Cloud Connector.
SAP HANA Cloud Connector is a special server software that allows you to get the access to the SAP HANA Cloud from your local applications. It is better to be installed on a separate server for ease of interaction and configuration. We will cover the details of its possible installation and usage options later in one of our articles.
In the following articles of SAP HANA for dummies
In the future, we will tell you about the features of SAP HANA installations, such as "Multitenant" and "Singletenant", and discuss their main differences and features. We will separately study the logging in the system and logging settings that are necessary for secure configuration. Also, we will consider how to interact with SAP HANA Cloud. And, of course, we will cover the most critical vulnerabilities of SAP HANA, such as remote execution of the operating system command via SAP HANA TrexNET, and others.

I submitted a bug report for an issue with tool tips after the latest update. I just got an in-game prompt to post a video to the forum. Can you let me know if this is the right place?
In any chase, here is the video
I submitted a bug report for an issue with tool tips after the latest update. I just got an in-game prompt to post a video to the forum. Can you let me know if this is the right place?
In any chase, here is the video
Thanks! I have seen this happen before here once or twice but couldn't find any potential causes and I can't reproduce it. Do you know what you're doing to cause it to happen? My hunch is it has something to do with changing applications by alt-tabbing, but just alt-tabbing isn't enough to cause problems. Something else is going on...
I see this all the time on my lower spec tablet.
Ill see if it happen with no alt-tabbing.
My tablet also is an IPS display and scales applications to 150%.
There may be some correlation between the tabbing/scaling/tabbing back.
If I can narrow it down a bit Ill /bug and post here.
Ok ran a few tests and it does seem to start happening once I alt-tab to edge or firefox. Oddly it did not occur when I tabbed over to aim music player. Also tabbing to a new instance of firefox with no page loaded (blank starting page) does not cause this on my system.
When running in a window with win10's app scaling set to 100% it only does it once per mouseover and then the second time the tool tip appears as expected. Mouse overs on items with similar sized tool tips didn't exhibit the issue. I used a row of 3 or 4 mushrooms. Moving from them to another item with a larger tooltip caused the bouncing window effect as it resized and then again when going back to the mushrooms tooltip.
With the displays screen as well as game set to 1024x768 it also happens once I tab away.
With scaling turned on however the issue seems to stay there as I mouse over various items
It does not seem to show up on gui mouseovers such as are in the settings area. Just inventory and skill ones.
I am also running an intel integrated chip (515) with 1gb. Resolution is 2160x1440, game is 1024x768 usually when I play. I alternate a lot between window mode and full screen during gameplay sessions.
GPU is running around 60% and does not spike with very rapid mouse over changes.
I have my extra settings set to:
When I remove the AbilityTipX line the issue happens for the static location for Ability tips as well albeit not as often.
moving the graphics quality from fastest to simple results in the issue happening more.
On beautiful setting it happens 100% of the time when moving between a boletus mushroom (stack of 4) and the item right above them which is a webbed up gloves of aftershocks.
Also tried going from items with no special colors in the description but with differing boxes and it seems to happen a bit less often and the bouncing is a bit less.
Not sure if that will help much but perhaps it may get others thinking when they see this what they were doing/mousing over etc.

Well, yesterday Trump won, again, in the Electoral College. I rather enjoy having a President-Elect who beats Democrats, is good at it, and enjoys it. What a novelty!
Now whining whiners . . .
Never forget. pic.twitter.com/PpR1h2RVgU— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) December 19, 2016
. . . whine about Hillary winning the popular vote. But that only confirms the Founders' wisdom in how we elect Presidents. I, for one, do not want to be ruled by bigoted narrow cities and regions who either pad their DemocRAT vote totals with felons, illegals, and the departed, have profoundly un-American values, want to tell the rest of the nation how to run their lives, or all of the above.
And those regions are indeed narrow. Here's a good map to give an idea of that.
Someone who wants to be President of the United States needs to demonstrate to the electorate that they will indeed be President of the United States, not just of California (which alone provided Hillary her popular vote margin) and New York City and a few other Leftist hell holes. We don't need a POTUS who sees the rest of us as "deplorables." The Electoral College yesterday protected us from just that.
One last thought – I want those who threatened the lives of Electoral College Electors in prison. I mean it.

VeganMoFo: Ice Cream Review
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
VeganMoFo: Freeze(r) Tag
2nd shelf on door. Frozen concentrates of apple juice and orange juice, which I keep on hand for baking/cooking. Usually such applications don't actually require fresh juice. Also reusable "ice cubes" which we never really use...
3rd shelf on the door. A couple ice sleeves for keeping wine bottles chilled and frozen treats: chocolate covered bananas and a couple flavors of Fruit Floe's from TJ's (they make the best lime popsicles ever).
4th door shelf. Nuts. Due to their very high oil content nuts tend to go rancid very quickly. Storing them in the freezer greatly extends their shelf life. This may not be an issue for you if you go through your nuts very quickly, but I like to keep a variety on hand, and I buy in larger quantities of those I use the most frequently from Costco, so I freeze all mine (extras are in the outside freezer).
And we're on to the freezer itself. Above this shelf is the ice cube maker/dispenser. This top shelf holds frozen fruit (we go through a lot in smoothies), ice cream, phyllo dough, and puff pastry (hidden). We usually do not have this much ice cream on hand, but we went to Whole Foods and they had the new Purely Decadent coconut milk ice creams, so we bought a couple. I'll post my review of the two we tried tomorrow.
Shelf 2. This shelf mostly holds my homemade, pre-made "convenience foods" (pesto, roasted garlic, the caramelized onions, fresh lime juice cubes, a loaf of banana bread) and a few whole grains. I keep most of my grains in the pantry, but when I have more than will fit in the container I throw the extras in the freezer due to the high oil content. I also keep all my whole grain cornmeal in the freezer (but it still taste's off to me. I think because I grew up with the degermed kind. Weirdly, it is only the yellow cornmeal that tastes off, the whole grain blue cornmeal smells and tastes fine. And yes, I've tried several brands).

VeganMoFo: Don't Hate on Simmered Seitan
If you have a large enough pot you can definitely double this recipe so you will have plenty of leftovers. In all honesty, large hunks of simmered seitan are not very attractive, so I'm sparing you pictures.

VeganMoFo: I'm Stewing
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
VeganMoFo: Another Survey
1. What was the most recent tea you drank?
- English Breakfast Tea. I almost always have a cup at work, later I switch to decaf green tea or herbal tea (but, except for citrus flavors, never fruit teas! yuck)
2. What vegan forms do you post/lurk on? If so, what is your username? Spill!
- I just joined (finally!) the PPK. My username is LilyGirl.
3. You have to have tofu for dinner, and it has be an Italian dish. What comes to mind first?
- Lasagna or stuffed shells with tofu ricotta.
4. How many vegan blogs do you read on an average day?
- I can use the internet at work, so the days I work... a lot. Probably 30. On my days off, maybe 5, if any.
5. Besides your own, what is the most recent one you've read?
- Liz's Food Snobbery is My Hobbery
6. If you could hang out with a vegan blogger that you haven't met, who would it be, and what would you do??
- I haven't yet met any vegan bloggers, so this is an unfair question, since I would love to meet pretty much all of you! And of course we would eat.
7. If you had to base your dinners for a week around one of the holy trilogy – tofu, seitan or tempeh, which would it be?
- Tofu, just because it is so flexible. Especially since I've "discovered" frozen, thawed tofu. I actually enjoy eating that.
8. If you had to use one in a fight, which would it be?
- Seitan, because you could make a massive chunk of it, or several. But violence doesn't solve anything, so let's just eat our food items, yes?
9. Name 3 meals you'd realistically make with that tough protein of choice!
- Beefy Stew (on my to make list for later this week, so I'll post a recipe soon), Italian sausage and pasta, seitan pot pie.
10. What's a recipe in vegan blogland that you've been eyeing?
- VeganDad's stuffed setain roast. I'm going to test a modified version of it soon in preparation for the holidays.
11. Do you own any clothing with vegan messages/brands on them?
- Nothing specifically vegan, but several "hippie" ones, as B refers to them.
12. Have you made your pilgrimage to the 'vegan mecca' yet? (
- No, I've been to OR a couple times. Next time I hope we can schedule a day to Portland.
13. What age did you first go vegan? Did it stick?
- 23 and no, as explained here. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm not currently vegan, although I eat mostly vegan and everything on this blog is vegan as well.
14. What is the worst vegan meal you've had? Who cooked it?
- It wasn't a meal it was a cake. It was made by a bakery. There is no excuse...
15. What made you decide to blog?
- I love to cook and wanted a place to share and connect with other veg*ns, as I am the only one I know (well, we do have a couple friends we see very infrequently who are veggies as well. I love getting to cook for them).
16. What are three of your favorite meals to make?
- Tacos (easy, yummy, extremely omni-friendly), Indian food (flavorful, "exotic", extremely veg friendly), soup (warm, comforting, infinitely flexible).
17. What dish would you bring to a vegan Thanksgiving-themed potluck?
- My green bean and mushroom casserole and my cranberry sauce. Yum. I love the holidays (or rather, the holiday food).
18. Where is your favorite vegan meal at a restaurant? How many times have you ordered it?
- I've not been to a specifically vegan resturant, but I love Rutabegorz. Their vegetarian chef salad, hold the egg and cheese, is fantastic and ginormous. No idea how many times I've had it. Both of their chilis are really good too, and they always have a daily vegetarian soup offering. Much of their menu can be made vegan simply by holding the cheese.
19. What do you think the best chain to dine as a vegan is?
- For "fast food", Chipotle. For "sit-down", I'll have to go with Jess on this, P.F. Chang's.
20. My kitchen needs a………
- Need is realitive. I am very blessed and have a well-stocked kitchen. I would very much like a pressure cooker and a soy milk maker. I would also like a food dryer, a pressure canner, and eventually a larger water boiling canner for my food preservation endevors.
21. This vegetable is not allowed in my kitchen…..!
- I'm an adventerous eater and not very picky so I try not to ban anything. But I'm not a fan of lima beans.
22. What's for dinner tonight?
- Department meeting tonight, so that means pizza and salad. The answer for Wednesday night is more interesting - beefy seitan stew!
23. What's the one food you don't like, but wish you did?
- Eggplant. But I'm going to give it another shot.

To What Extend Is Operations Management a Strategic Activity? Be Sure to Give Examples and Views of Literature.
Competitive advantage is important for the success of a company and this depends on the competences possessed by the company. Key competences are the minimum competences that a company needs to have to compete in its industry and core competences are these competences that the company is good at doing. The core competences of a company are what make it different from its rivals and thus gain competitive advantage. Let's take the car industry, their product is the same but the difference lies in their operation. "however important production design and performance may be, highly efficient operations are the key to keeping costs down and achieving high levels of quality". (Pilkington, 2007). Actually the competences which are present in the operations are determinant for the success of a strategy. An example in the manufacturing sector is Toyota, which created the Just in Time system, to face uncertain supply of materials, thus saving cost on inventory and created a high-quality production system. QUALITY
Quality is a measurable feature to show reliability, consistency, fitness, conformity to standards. Juran (1988) defined quality as 'fitness for purpose or use', which is meets specific objectives that needs to be achieved. Quality is important to sustain business activities as an unsatisfactory product is equal to Bad reputation for the firm. There are many management approaches to quality; all having different philosophies and one of them is TQM. TQM – Total quality management is a collection of approaches from Japanese firms and different quality gurus to make a quality strategy. TQM is the creation of quality culture within the firm, having as main goal performance improvement.
It has a Management led approach, aiming at getting things right at the first time by eliminating variations. Quality control is a very important process for products where specifications are important. The traditional approach to quality control was to produce, then check and then sell products meeting specifications and rejects those not meeting the specifications. The TQM approach to quality control aim for zero defects, this by reducing variation from the production process. To maximize quality, variation should be minimized. Variation is sometimes called the fundamental cause of poor quality (Evans, 1989). By minimizing variations, quality is thus being increase and production cost is also optimize as there are less rejects, thus helping essentially for the...

Viral Marketing: Tagging
Tagging Is Viral Marketing
Tagging is a great way of organizing content online and it has a viral community effect, much like here at Hubpages, each tag leads to a page of content created by others users or if you want you could try researching the tags that lead to an empty page and populate the page with content related to a single tag or a series of tags.
Folksonomies used to be the old word which was abbreviated from the words Folk and Taxonomy, whilst taxonomy still applies to some Drupal content management systems it still can be used, but tagging has come into it's own the past few years, especially if a site has categorized it's content and can relate categories to different tags, it makes it all the more better for search and viral tagging.
To file away content under tags is nothing new, what with labels and keywords the biggest thing to locate article content in search, but just think of the RSS feed capabilities, for all the possible tags you have your content under, of course there will be some slow burners as they will lead to empty content pages, but in the future these tags may start bringing in traffic as certain tag pages grow in content and relevance.
High traffic sites like Flickr and even here at Hubpages use the tagging system and just think of the viral effect of building back links on multiple sites like these, so that they can be found in the search engines, but also within the sites communities, any other image search engine and RSS feed aggregators. Bookmarking sites use this keyword tagging process to categorize content and make it accessible for search and on each individual site.
The viral nature of tagging has a knock on effect, the more relevant content that you write the more tags that content will relate to and the more possible windows into your own site through browser searches and clicking tags directly.
If we take a quick look at Flickr, I did a quick image search for the keyword tagging and that resulted in 1,783,665 results, although this keyword will bring up very unrelated results to the actual word, more like loose results, it just goes to show that when you tag something with a keyword tag and it will show up in an image search on Flickr and other online search engines if it's tagged correctly.
Blogs have a good way of tagging content with labels and categories to mark down what content category each blog post falls under and it makes it available to the wider community through tag clouds and tag lists and an obvious search box. And organizing content becomes much easier with tagging.
Viral marketing campaigns come into effect when you post highly relevant content that all leads back to your website or promotions, of course a structured plan of action should be used so that you don't appear like you are spamming each site, a mix of personal photos for instance could add some interest but also make it appear like you are a real person and not some spamming software robot intent on spamming people with dollar signs.
Look into sites that have the tag system, there are lots and see if they have communities, Squidoo, Hubpages and Blogger are the obvious ones, but look further a field for different types of tag sites, like social bookmarking sites too to add your bookmarks of your websites and web pages.
Good luck tagging and no spamming.

The conflicts, contradictions and hypocrisies of 'Jurassic World'
It's hardly irregular for blockbuster films to fail to follow through on their ideas or high concepts – many films have surrendered depth as their budgets grew higher. Others simply struggled to make good on their deliciously promising, tricksy conceits. It is relatively irregular, however, for a blockbuster film to highlight and even critique its own limitations, while also failing to transcend the very traits it has expressed disdain towards. That's the unusual dissonance to be found in Jurassic World, one of the most self-aware and hypocritical Hollywood productions you're ever likely to watch.

A yummy Lasagne recipe plus a white sauce recipe just for you!
Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 large carrots, diced
400g ostrich mince
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried rosemary spice
1 teaspoon dried herb/oregano spice
1 tin tomato and onion mix
6 Cooked/oven ready lasagne sheets
White sauce:
Half a cup – 3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
1 large tablespoon butter
A pinch of salt
Some pepperFeta cheese (1 round)
Heat some olive oil in a pan. Add chopped onions and garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Add the chopped carrots and the mince. Spice with the salt, pepper, rosemary and oregano spice and also add the Worcestershire and Balsamic sauces. Let the ingredients cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes. Add the tomato and onion mix, stir, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the white sauce.
How to make the white sauce/Béchamel sauce:
Take a small pot and put it on the stove on high heat. Melt the butter in the pot. When the butter starts to melt, add the flour and stir well.
Stir all the flour into the butter. Then add the milk and stir constantly. Turn the heat to medium and add some more milk when the mixture starts to boil. Remember to keep stirring to prevent the mixture from burning.
Carry on like this until the mixture is not too runny and not too thick. Turn off the heat and add feta, salt and pepper to the mixture. Mix and leave to cool. The sauce will become thicker while it cools down.
Take a medium, square lasagne dish. Add half of the meat mixture to the dish. Place 3 lasagne sheets on top of the mixture, next to each other as to cover the mince mixture. Add another layer of mince. Then add the last 3 lasagne sheets on top of that layer as described earlier. Then pour the feta-white sauce over the last sheet layer.
Bake in a preheated oven (180 degrees Celsius) for about 30 minutes.
Enjoy with a glass of red wine!

Look! Hide Unseemly Wall Sockets!
Even though we might think that most places don't have enough wall sockets, there are some houses and pads that just have sockets at the worst possible places. There wasn't much that you could do with these until now. Die Electric showcases a bunch of things that can be plugged into wall sockets to hide them effectively in plain sight, which is what we really like.
This solution is pretty low-tech in our opinion, but it works really well. Designer Scott Amron has put together a bunch of things that can be plugged into wall sockets to hide them. Die Electric includes vases, flower pots, towels, toothbrush holders and more. The New York designer attached plugs to a whole bunch of items. This means that you can hide the sockets with something nicer.
We think that certain areas of homes need a lot of wall sockets. Areas like a desk or office should really have a lot more sockets than the kitchen or a play room. However, since it's never sure what people will do in the rooms of their homes, it's not easy to do this in advance, unless you are building your own home or are able to talk with the architects beforehand. Die Electric is a really funny and aesthetically pleasing way of hiding wall sockets from sight. [via Designboom, images Scott Amron]

Once more I have left
The still, incense-laden air of
God's holy places
And come again
To the wild freedom
Of his hills. Here
Thyme's incense never
Fails to breathe its pungent
Perfection and prayer seems
A continual state of being,
Here, where the torrents
Roar in time-worn depths.
And high above, joyous and fragile,
The larksong's antiphon
Soars in the rainwashed air.

Hi Jennifer,
I am concerned that the Australian Public is not aware of the huge price hike in refrigerant gas prices due to the carbon tax.
Apparently the HFC's that replaced the ozone depleting CFC's are considered potent green house gasses and as a result of the clean energy bills are to be loaded with an equivalent carbon tax.
Until recently a 12Kg bottle of R134a could be purchased for a little less than $300. After a recent price rise with unknown cause the list price has increased to above $700. After July 1 the list price for the same 12Kg bottle will be $2181.84.
While each domestic refrigerator only holds less than ½ Kg of gas and the price of a domestic fridge will only have to increase by a small amount this is not the complete picture.
A car air conditioner holds about 1Kg and again the purchase price will rise by a small amount, however, the seals in a vehicle aircon are not perfect and it is common for them to require recharging a number of times throughout their life.
But the big crunch will be shopping centre air-conditioning and refrigeration where hundreds of kilos are used and very often due to many reasons gas charges are lost requiring complete replacement of the gas charge. The cost of a gas recharge could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This price rise will inevitably cause a knock on effect for all fresh food as it all refrigerated.
Regards Gary"
Just another step towards making life more expensive for the average person for no good reason whatsoever. No reason at all!! We will all be paying more for everything because of all these useless taxes. This whole global warming thing is just one giant scam to take money from the poor and send it to the rich.
Like rooftop solar panels. You never see the less well off, pensioners, average working people etc with the panels on the roof. No the panels go to the those who are already well off and the rest of us pay more for our power to subsidise those who are wealthy enough to afford the panels.
It's all a scam. Taking money from the poor and giving it to the wealthy.

Is it Time for Another Snow Dance - NOT!
Could the snow season be over? Maybe not. There are a few rumors going around about some weather changes coming up just in time for the Easter holiday. Unfortunately not good changes though. Cold air is a possibility according to the General who posted in the forum about a possible event come some time next week. I have to admit with the several spring like teaser days that we have had I'm pretty much ready for the warmer air to set up and stay for more than a few days at a time.
Everyone that visits here must be aware of the snow dance ritual that is performed when the snow isn't falling like it should be. Well there is also a Spring time ritual which I might be doing in the very near future to see if we can get the warm air to stick around. This ritual is a simple one that only involves a razor and some shaving cream. Yup, The annual ritual of shaving off my beard if you can call it that. I start hating the thing right about now and most likely by the weekend it will be gone : ) The other thing that I can't wait for and will be breaking out soon are my sandals. Although I have worn them a few times this winter, mostly just to run to the corner store real quick, I'm ready to leave them out now. Of course as Jill and others have mentioned in the past, as soon as we do the annual spring routine it will start snowing.
As for the updates here! The blog had a few bugs which seem to be straightened out now. I also had some intermittent problems with the email to goldensnowball.com so if anyone has emailed the last couple of weeks there might be a chance that I didn't receive them. If I didn't respond to your email then that pretty much means I didn't get them and my apologies. This time in the season I don't post quite as much but I will be keeping things updated on a more regular basis than I have. Hey have a super weekend all!
