Blizzard North was the Bay Area division of Blizzard Entertainment, known for the Diablo series. The studio was originally based in Redwood City, California, and then moved a short distance away to San Mateo, California, with Blizzard proper being based in Irvine (in southern California).
Blizzard North was originally an independent company. It was established in 1993 under the name Condor, founded by Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, and David Brevik. The company was purchased and renamed by Blizzard about six months before the release of their hit PC game, Diablo, in 1996. Diablo proved to be incredibly successful, and their 2000 sequel Diablo II was more successful yet. An expansion pack followed the year after.
By June 2003 two new games were in production. However on June 30 2003, several key employees left Blizzard North to form the new companies Flagship Studios (8 moved here) and Castaway Entertainment (9 moved here). The Blizzard North exodus continued on with around 30 employees leaving the company in total.
The resignations were partly due to a conflict with Blizzard Entertainment's owner, Vivendi, and partly due to employees wishing to start something new. Back at Blizzard North, however, they would have a common effect; of the two unannounced games that were in production at the time, one was now forced to be canceled. Blizzard Entertainment has since said the canceled game was a "Blizzard North kind of game".
On August 1, 2005, Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North. A key reason for the closure was Blizzard North's poor development of what was to be Diablo III which did not meet the expectations of Vivendi. Former Blizzard North staffers including Joseph Lawrence, Wyatt Cheng and Matt Uelmen subsequently appeared in the credits of Blizzard's next retail release, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The work of former Blizzard North artist Phroilan Gardner was also featured in editions of World of Warcraft: The Trading Card Game around the same time.
A few employees from the Diablo team, including Eric Sexton, Michio Okamura and Steven Woo, organized to launch a new company, Hyboreal Games.

Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult
Time to do repair30 - 60 mins
Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
Richard From Bakersfield, CA
Oct 25, 2013
Followed the helpful video for removal, and replacement. Cleaned the washer tub, and the top and bottom agitator assembly. Assembled per enclosed instruction with the following exception. To reduce the wear on the new plastic parts, applied a thin layer plumber's grease to the spline inside of top agitator, the new cam parts, around the rubber seal on the plastic sealing cap, and bolt threads. Would highly recommend buying and replacing the agitator bolt rubber seal. (Maybe it should also be included in the Agitator Cam Kit) Mine was damaged by over-tightening it. Just snug up the bolt, don't torque it down. There are no more grinding noises, and washer functions normally. Did have a little problem separating the agitator halves at first, but they finally came apart without damage. This was the second repair made to our washer in 13-14 years of service.

Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefanimay have called quits on their relationship last year after 13 years of marriage, but Gavin Rossdale is clearly putting their three children first. The 50-year-old was snapped over the weekend having fun at an Easter egg hunt with their boys – Kingston, nine, Zuma, seven, and two-year-old Apollo – while singer Gwen, 46, was in Japan promoting her latest album, This Is What The Truth Feels Like.
Doting dad Gavin was snapped going down a slide with Apollo, who looked adorable with a red bandanna around his neck. Apollo’s older brothers Kingston and Zuma wore matching black slogan T-shirts, which read: 'Beautiful disaster'.
Gavin, who looked casual in jeans and a grey hooded jacket, happily posed for pictures with his three sons at the event, which was hosted by clothing brand Akid. Also in attendance were former Glee actress Naya Rivera, husband Ryan Dorsey and their six-month-old son Josey.
The family outing comes after Gwen confessed she wished she could reveal the full story behind their break-up, insisting fans would be shocked by the truth.
Speaking to The New York Times, the Don’t Speak singer said: "If I could, I would tell you everything, and you would just be in shock. My life was literally blown up into my face. I was literally so sheltered and so naïve, and that’s a lot why I think I’ve got myself into so much trouble, in a way."
Although Gwen has since gone public with her new boyfriend, fellow The Voice USA coach Blake Shelton, she admitted the divorce is still affecting her.
She added: "I’m not going to say I’m not still picking up the pieces and every day isn’t a challenge. I’m still in shock. But it’s an awesome time."

for sale is a beautifully restored vintage industrial cast iron drafting table by Frederick Post.
from the Journal of the Oughtred Society:
“the Frederick Post Company was founded in Chicago in the latter part of the 1890s to manufacture and sell drafting, engineering and surveying supplies and equipment. Post was successful in this endeavor and became the third largest supplier of such equipment (after Keuffel & Esser and Dietzgen) in the United States.”
the design is a classic of the early 20th century, featuring cast iron arched legs with “The Frederick Post Co., Chicago San Francisco” on them — that’s back when they still used to go to the trouble of stamping out the maker’s label on the arched legs.
wood handled cast iron wheel turns to easily adjust height. cleverly engineered so that height stays without any latches, allowing for one handed adjusting. tilt also adjusts.
table has been completely restored. cast iron base was stripped and cleaned of old paint. top scraped, sanded and covered in several layers of teak oil, then buffed smoothed, making it food-grade type of safe.
measurements, in inches:
height – adjusts from 32 1/5 up to 46
top – 60 wide by 37 1/8 deep
base – 34 wide by 24 deep

Initially, it was said that Samsung would present the Galaxy S21 FE phone in the fall of 2021. The premiere of this device was delayed due to problems with the availability of components, and at some point even some journalists rumored that the lack of available parts would force Samsung to cancel the Galaxy S21 FE project. Ultimately, however, the phone will hit the market and a few days ago we got to know its official specification.
The new Samsung's phone received a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2340x1080px with a refresh rate of 120Hz (non-adaptive), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G processor, 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB of UFS 3.1 internal memory, a single front camera 32MP, a triple main camera (two 12MP lenses and one 8MP lens) and a 4500mAh battery supporting wireless charging. This phone has a very solid specification, while customers can feel disappointment with the agreed price for the new Samsung phone. For the cheapest variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal memory we will have to pay 749 euro, which according to many customers is a bit too high, especially since at a similar price it's possible to buy the standard Galaxy S21 model on the market, which had its premiere a year ago.


Zhou Xiaochuan, the Surprisingly Liberal PBoC Governor That Spearheaded the DCEP
With major pilot projects taking place across the country, the future of the Chinese digital yuan has been the focus of most of the media attention directed towards the country. The country has set its sights on making the digital yuan the go-to currency during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and is pouring an incredible amount of resources into making that happen.
And while many are looking into the digital yuan’s future, few are exploring the history behind China’s efforts to digitize its national currency. The digital yuan is a product of over 6 years of work that gathered expertise from thousands of industry experts.
However, there most likely wouldn’t be a digital yuan if there wasn’t for one man, whose surprisingly liberal, market-oriented approach to regulating China’s financial industry was a perfect match to the burgeoning world of blockchain technology.
Zhou Xiaochuan is the longest-running chief of China’s national bank, steering the monetary policy in the country for 16 years. Zhou is believed to be one of the largest factors that contributed to China becoming the second-largest economy in the world and is consistently ranked among the most influential global policymakers of his generation.
But, despite his incredible influence on the global economy, very little is known about Zhou. The former governor has followed in the steps of many of his colleagues, deciding to keep his private life hidden from the public eye.
Nonetheless, his extensive tenure in the Chinese government and the 16 years he spent as the chief of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) provides enough resources to paint a broad picture of the man that made the digital yuan possible.
Early Life and Foray into Politics
Zhou was born in 1948 in the city of Yixing in the Jiangsu province, the son of Zhou Jiannan, an early member of the Chinese Communist Party and its secret service. His father headed the Electric and Industrial Bureau of the North East district throughout the 1950s, becoming the Vice Minister of the First Department of Machinery Development in 1961. He was also one of the first supporters of Jiang Zemin, who served as the President of China from 1993 to 2003, with some sources claiming he was one of Jiang’s mentors in his early career.
The onset of the Cultural Revolution saw the elder Zhou persecuted by the Communist Party. During the revolution, Zhou Xiaochuan joined the Production and Construction Corps in Heilongjiang but left to attend the Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology as a selected student in 1972. After graduating in 1976, he was assigned to the Beijing Research Center of Automation as an engineer studying large automation systems.
Then, in 1986 with a fresh Ph.D. in Science from Tsinghua University, Zhou began working in the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. This marked the beginning of his career in politics, having spent the next 32 years working on economic reform in the country.
While he made significant contributions to politics in the 1980s, he made the biggest impact following the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
At the time, China was divided on whether to pursue the model of political reforms adopted by Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Most reformers within the party, including Zhao Ziyang, the General Secretary, supported the Russian model, but Zhou pushed for a model that maintained the Communist Party’s political control while allowing state-owned enterprises to be subjected to market reforms.
While hard to say if Zhou anticipated that the Russian model would lead to the creation of oligarchs, it’s clear that the push for more state control over the market would be the defining paradigm of his later tenure at the PBoC.
The model he opted for created a unique system within China—state-run enterprises were structured and governed like western corporations and listed on the stock market.
This turned out to be such a successful system that Zhou’s attempt to reduce state-ownership in the stock market in 2001 resulted in a freefall that had the potential to completely crash the market. While he quickly abandoned the plan to avoid further tanking the market, he spent the following years emphasizing the role of market mechanisms and working to introduce measures that protect retail investors.
A Pioneer of Central Bank Digital Currencies
Zhou went on to become the 11th Governor of the People’s Bank of China in 2002 and spent the next 16 years holding the position. Despite retiring in 2018, Zhou has been working as the Vice Chairman of the Boao Forum for Asia, a non-profit organization hosting conferences for world leaders.
He was also one of the first state leaders that recognized the potential benefits and dangers of cryptocurrencies. Zhou reportedly saw bitcoin’s anonymity as problematic, as it allows citizens to transact in a way that was essentially impossible to trace. His work regulating the stock market in the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) between 2000 and 2002 clearly influenced his views on cryptocurrencies, as he spent most of his time there cracking down on corruption in capital markets.
In 2013, the PBoC banned Chinese institutions from processing all bitcoin-related transactions, effectively stomping out the growing crypto industry in the country. However, Zhou didn’t overlook the immense potential cryptocurrencies had and spearheaded the creation of a task force that would study explore a national digital currency.
His work on establishing solid foundations for a digital yuan was soon recognized by other policymakers in China and the digital yuan initiative was written into China’s 13th Five Year Plan in 2016. At the time, the country was in the process of tightening its capital controls as it was facing increased pressure from international institutions to set up a floating interest rate on the renminbi. When paired with the shrinking foreign reserves, all of this propelled the development of the digital yuan, which was seen both by Zhou and the rest of the policymakers in China as the most promising solution.
The 2017 ban on fiat-to-crypto transactions further cemented this plan, as the country announced the creation of the Digital Currency Research Institute in Shenzhen the same year.
Zhou’s last two years as the governor of the People’s Bank of China saw little mention of the digital yuan initiative. In hindsight, it’s clear that this was a calculated effort to keep the development of the currency under wraps until Zhou’s successor Yi Gang took control of the bank.
Just as Yi Gang was appointed governor, Facebook announced Libra, its own digital currency initiative that had the potential to offset China’s ambitious plans for the digital yuan. This caused the digital yuan initiative to pick up the pace of development—it took less than 12 months from Libra’s announcement before China began running the first pilot projects involving the digital yuan.
And now, with over $2 million worth of the digital yuan distributed in various tests of the new payment system, it’s safe to say that Zhou’s efforts to create a state-run free-market hybrid economic system created the perfect foundation for the launch of the country’s digital national currency.

Lineman Admitted To Not Following Proper Procedures
A lineman's confusion appears to have been behind the January
2009 emergency landing of a Cessna 421C Golden Eagle in Wichita,
KS, according to the National Transportation Safety Board's factual
report on the mishap.
According to the report, the piston-engined twin (similar to
type shown above) departed Wichita's Colonel James Jabara Airport
(AAO) shortly after 8:00 am local time January 30, bound for
Millard Airport (MLE) west of Omaha, NE. It didn't take very long
for problems to arise.
"During takeoff, the pilot noted 2,800 rpm, 39 inches of
manifold pressure, and all engine instruments were 'in the green,'"
the report states. "While climbing to 3,000 feet mean sea level,
the airplane's engines began to lose power. The pilot noted
propeller rpms were still 2,800 but felt as though no "power" was
being produced by the engines; the pilot coordinated for an
emergency return. While attempting to troubleshoot the malfunction,
the pilot assessed that he could not return to the airport and
elected to perform a forced landing."
The aircraft landed gear-up in a field. The pilot and his two
passengers suffered minor injuries, but came through the scrap
relatively OK. Investigators arrived on-scene soon after... and it
didn't take them long to find a problem.
"An examination of the airplane revealed that the fuel tanks
contained what appeared to be a mixture of 100 low-lead (100LL) and
Jet-A fuel," the NTSB says.
When questioned by FAA inspectors, a lineman at AAO admitted he
topped off the Cessna 421 with 80 gallons of Jet-A, not 100LL. He
then offered an interesting explanation.
Two Piper PA-46 turboprop conversions were also based at AAO at
the time of the incident. Those aircraft are not required under the
JetProp STC to have modified fuel filler ports, those with larger
openings to accommodate flattened Jet-A fuel nozzles; an adapter is
used to move fuel into the narrower Malibu-spec opening.
However, the lineman told investigators FBO personnel had
discovered a work-around: by rotating the nozzle, and dispensing
fuel at reduced pressure, one can leave the adapter in the truck.
"This method became the normal way for the accident line person to
refuel the two converted PA-46 airplanes," the NTSB states, "so the
line person reported that he incorrectly thought the accident
airplane required Jet-A fuel despite having refueled the accident
airplane several times previously."
The NTSB notes the 421 had narrow fueling ports required by an
airworthiness directive, specifically intended to prevent the kind
of error the lineman admitted to. The Cessna 421's basic fuselage
is shared with the turboprop-engined Cessna 425 Conquest I; several
421s have also been converted to turboprops.
The report notes the pilot conducted a "normal" pre-flight
inspection ahead of the accident flight. He had asked the FBO to
top off the tanks upon landing at AAO the night before.

Can We Abort the Predicate Layed? By Erick San Juan
Who could have thought that the day will come when most analysts in different fields will compare the United States with China? With the help of the internet, one can easily search from various sites where US and China were being compared – may it be in military, science and technology, infrastructure, education, etc. name it, and the internet have it.
The notion of some countries that China will overtake US in all aspects in the near future is not the scenario for Larry Edelson, for him - the near future is now. In his video/analysis, The Great Betrayal of 2012, Edelson (Weiss Research’s Asia-based analyst) reported that “the Obama administration is CONSPIRING with China’s leaders to destroy the value of every U.S. dollar.” Such accusation was based on some detailed statistics enumerated in the said video.
So many thinks that Uncle Sam will not go to war against China for a huge economic reason, although some pundits say that both countries needed a war to divert some problems within. And so, the bottom line here is – no war, no money? But who will benefit the most?
Not us, for sure. Wittingly, we can be use as a cannon fodder in this game of war if this country’s leadership will not stop kowtowing to a perceived master.
“I am afraid that the scenario of the US coming to the rescue of the Philippines is unrealistic and a non-starter for one very simple and basic reason -- going to war with China or risking a serious rupture in Sino-American relations over the Spratly Archipelago is simply not in the “national interests” of the United States.” This is the view of Benjamin Muego (a visiting professor of Political Science in Ateneo and De La Salle University in Manila).
And if the continuing prodding of Uncle Sam to start the conflict here in our backyard, by creating provocations against China will prevail, our president is really in big trouble. As I always say, if the President will make such false move, all of us will suffer in the process. That is why, in my daily radio program (@DWSS1494khz, 5:30-6pm) and in my writings (@ericksanjuan.blogspot.com) I ask all peace loving Filipinos for their understanding and support to PNoy, he is our current President and whether we like it or not, we have to help him and in doing so, we are actually helping ourselves.
Although there are some evil-minded individuals who really wanted this administration to fail by pushing PNoy to wage war against China. Just recently, there were some foolish decisions by the Palace concerning the tension at the Panatag Shoal. It seems that PNoy was ill-advised and some of us thought that a shooting war was about to happen. Thank God that it was aborted and a few sensible men in PNoy’s loop recommended a better scenario in solving the matter at hand. Unless the President will not heed to some sound unsolicited advise from people who knows better in the field of foreign policy and geostrategy, he will be blamed in the end for some very crucial decisions. Laying the predicate.
Take for example the so-called survey at rankopedia.com, wherein PNoy was ranked as the worst president ever! (Hitler at the second place). This is a blatant revelation to justify a scenario that is about to happen (translation – laying the predicate).
It would be a never-ending tension in the disputed areas in the South China Sea if China and all the claimants will not think of peaceful solutions that will make everybody satisfied with whatever decision that is just and will respect every country’s sovereignty.
We hope that PNoy will finish his term unscathed and so is the rest of the nation’s populace. God bless our land.

These healthy alternatives to regular tea, along with snacking habits, are not without drawbacks.
It sometimes seems as though the population of the UK is divided into two halves; those who consume an unhealthy diet that is high in fats and sugars, and those whose shopping baskets may contain items such as kale, quinoa and tempeh. The truth is probably somewhere in between. One item which is becoming increasingly popular on the list of ‘healthy alternatives’ to regular beverages is fruit tea.
Although the tea drinking habit of the British is still hard wired into our thinking, there is no denying that fruit teas can provide a refreshing alternative. They also do not include tannins which, as we know from previous Cygnet Dental Practice blogs, can stain our teeth, causing them to become discoloured.
A win win situation?
Unfortunately not. A recent study has shown that those who drank fruit teas had a high rate of enamel erosion on their teeth. Whilst some other problems such as staining were avoided, any damage to the enamel is potentially serious and may lead to decay and even root canal problems.
A part of the problem it seems, is our habit of savouring the drink. Rather than swallowing it straight away, many of us leave the drink in our mouths for a little while before swallowing. Whilst this may allow us to savour the flavour, it also means that the highly acidic fruit content of the tea comes into contact with our teeth for longer periods of time. It is this which starts the erosion process of our enamel.
The snacking habit
It seems that we have become a nation of snackers. The old adage of not eating between meals seems to have gone out of the window, with many people perhaps not eating at set meal times but ‘grazing’ smaller snacks throughout the day. Whilst this may even offer health benefits if done correctly, it also means that our teeth are not allowed time to recover between meals. Normally, if we ate a sweet dessert around midday, the saliva and bacteria in our mouth would help to remove much of the sugar from around the teeth. Because we now snack a lot, our teeth may only get very short breaks before the next lot of food. This constant bombardment of acids and sugar on our teeth can be very damaging indeed.
What should we eat and drink?
It can be difficult. We have seen that one moment, for example, eggs are bad for you and then the next very good. It can be confusing to know what we should and shouldn’t eat. From a dental perspective, we would advise that you try to keep your sugar and acidic food stuffs to a minimum. If you do eat them though, and most people do, try to do this at mealtimes and avoid snacking in between where possible. Sugary drinks should also be avoided, but if you do drink these, try to use a straw as this helps the sugary liquid to bypass the teeth much better.
It should go without saying that you should also keep up your regular appointments at our Wickford dental clinic. These are important and allow us to monitor and, where applicable, treat your teeth to help them remain strong and healthy for many years to come.
Appointments at the Cygnet Dental Practice can be made by calling us on 01268 733078.

Hundreds of thousands of Italian women took to the streets Feb. 13 to protest President Silvio Berlusconi’s sexist and absurd political culture of “bunga bunga.” Demonstrations, mostly of women, calling for his resignation were held in 280 Italian cities.
Berlusconi will have to stand trial beginning April 6 for having sex with an underage partner and abuse of power. He is alleged to have paid a 17-year-old Moroccan girl for sex, and to have intervened when she was charged with theft by telling police she was the niece of Hosni Mubarak. He claimed that her prosecution would cause a diplomatic incident, but was actually worried that his relationship to her would be revealed.
The revelation did come, following a lengthy series of leaks detailing Berlusconi’s parties with strippers and pole dancers, paid in cash and jewelry by the President and his wealthy guests. This reflects the culture media magnate Berlusconi has long promoted in Italy—reducing women to commodities along with all the rest of life. Sexism is a pillar of his reactionary politics.
It is appropriate that Berlusconi, the super-rich friend of dictators like Mubarak and Qaddafi, seems to be falling into disgrace at the same time as they have been falling from power. If convicted, he could face three years on the underage prostitution charge, and up to 12 years for abuse of power.

Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream ~ I can remember ordering it as a kid, there’s something about raspberries that just screams summertime, right? The fresh flavor of my homemade raspberry ripple ice cream is delightful and something you won’t find in the freezer aisle or ice cream shop.
When it comes to making homemade ice cream you have a lot more leeway to experiment than you might think. I made this Raspberry Ripple ice cream in several different ways this week and every one got big thumbs up from my taste testers. In fact there was an angry mob on one occasion when a batch was off limits because I hadn’t gotten around to photographing it. I guess ice cream season is officially here, at least in our house. I can’t say that one method or the other got higher marks, so feel free to make this frozen treat with or without a machine.
Fresh raspberry puree is the key to the outrageous fresh berry flavor of this ice cream, no matter which method you choose. You’ll need 6 ounces of raspberries, or one of those standard little plastic packs. A quick blitz in a small food processor turns the berries into a sweet-tart puree. No added sugar is necessary. Try not to ‘taste test’ too much, you’re going to want it all for your raspberry ripple ice cream!
Each time I made this raspberry ripple ice cream I tried a different ‘rippling’ technique.
When I used my ice cream machine I poured the raspberry puree into the machine at the very last minute, and ran it just long enough to allow the fruit to cycle through the ice cream. That resulted in a faintly pink toned ice cream with a delicate ripple running all through it. When I made the no-churn, I layered the puree in with the ice cream mixture and swirled with the handle of a wooden spoon. Of course try this with any other berry ~ blackberries, blueberries, black raspberries ~ go to town with fresh summer berries, you won’t be disappointed. Be sure to include the vanilla paste, the flavors mingle together so well.
If you decide you DO want an ice cream machine…
I get asked all the time about what machine I recommend, and if you do want to go the machine route, I use and recommend Cuisinart.
- The machine I use is on the left, and it’s the base model. It works great for ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbets, and makes all of them in about 2o minutes.
- The one on the right is a few dollars more and the main benefit to that one is that the capacity is slightly larger. You can click on either photo for more info. My ice cream machine has been one of my favorite kitchen tools over the years, it has given me and my family lots of pleasure!
Fresh Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream ~ regular and no churn
ice cream machine method
- 6 ounce pack of fresh raspberries
- 2 cups (16 ounces) cold half and half
- 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste
no churn method
- 6 ounce pack of fresh raspberries
- 1 cup 8.4 ounces heavy cream
- 8 ounces creme fraiche
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tbsp vanilla paste
- For the ice cream machine method: Puree the raspberries in a small food processor, set aside.
- Blend the half and half, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla bean paste together in a bowl, use a whisk to make sure everything is well blended.
- Pour mixture into your ice cream machine and process according to instructions. At the very end, pour in the raspberry sauce and let it process just long enough for the raspberry to get swirled into the ice cream. Transfer to a loaf pan, cover, and freeze for at least 5 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- For the No Churn Ice Cream: Puree the raspberries in a small food processor, set aside.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, be careful not to over whip it.
- Beat in the creme fraiche, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla, blending just until smooth.
- Add the ice cream mixture to a loaf pan, alternately with the raspberry puree.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon swirl the puree into the ice cream. Cover and put in freezer for at least 5 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- The Vanilla Bean Paste complements the raspberry flavor beautifully. If you can’t find it you can use vanilla extract, or the seeds of a vanilla bean.
- You can substitute sour cream if you can’t find creme fraiche. (Hint, it’s right next to the sour cream in large supermarkets.)
- Are you craving raspberries? Then you’ve got to try my NO BAKE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS ~ the combination of the fresh raspberry with the creamy cheesecake and dark chocolate is insane. If you’re a coconut fan then maybe my FRESH RASPBERRY COCONUT BARS will be more up your alley.
- There are endless homemade ice cream recipes out there… here are a few from my fellow bloggers ~ I like Dark Chocolate Orange Ice Cream, No Churn Cinnamon Ice Cream, Peanut Butter Fudge, or Low Carb Mint Chocolate Chip.
Questions and Reviews
All I have are 14 oz. cans of sweetened condensed milk (Eaglebrand) – can I use those? Thank you!!
Yes, that will be perfect.
Hi Sue, I’d really like to try this! We have a huge raspberry patch on our farm so I have no excuses not to! One question, do you strain out the seeds? I don’t love the seeds. Thanks!!
I kind of like the seeds, but definitely strain if you don’t!
I went and bought the Cuisinart ice cream maker! Love it!!!!
Just made your plum sorbet – so good!!!
I think I saw somewhere on your site that you have a
basic ice cream base that you keep in the freezer, then
run it through the blender before adding the flavors –
was that you or am I just in a plum sorbet stupor???
Hey Angela, congrats on your new machine! I don’t think that was me with the ice cream base recipe, but I love the idea and might play around with that 🙂

Zachary Quinto spoke before last night’s Jeffrey Fashion Cares benefit auction and opened up about what it is like to be gay and such a high profiled member of the entertainment industry. The event has become a standard in the fashion industry, this is its 13 year in production, and features an auction which raises money to help with HIV prevention and ongoing research.
Style reported that Quinto, who co-hosted the event, discussed why it is such a powerful time to be a part of the LGBT community, “I think we’re living in such a crucial moment in the evolution of LGBT equality and rights. On one hand you have the incredible ground that we’ve gained in the last five years, but on the other side of it you have people in Indiana and Washington who are crowd-sourcing a million dollars to monetize and publicize bigotry and hatred. I feel like unity and visibility and standing together and raising awareness and raising money and combating that kind of hatred is really important now more than ever,” said Quinto.
Other major names in the audience included Anna Wintour, Steven Kolb, Joseph Altuzarra, Catherine McNeil, and Narciso Rodriguez. Rodriguez explained that events like these are very important to show support for the LGBT community. “The fashion community is supported by the LGBT youth, so we need to be here to support the organizations that help so many people. We’re directly linked. We’re family.”
This year’s event featured major names in fashion and some high priced auction items which included a trip to men’s fashion week in Paris and New York City. Another highly anticipated item was airfare and two tickets to Elton John’s Oscar party.

As a massive Hellraiser fan I try to keep an open mind when anything new is announced. We’ve had it pretty good with Hellraiser for a while too, compared to a lot of other franchises. Sure, the last film in 2011 was utter garbage, but we’ve had a successful comic series since then and a novel written by creator Clive Barker, himself. Other franchises have had the past several years go by with nothing going on whatsoever, but the Hellraiser universe just keeps expanding.
Now, finally, we have the announcement of the thing that gets everyone excited: a new movie. Better yet, it’s another entry in the continuing series pantheon and not a dreaded remake. But these days, it’s actually pretty hard to get people excited about a new Hellraiser entry. It’s a franchise that started out incredibly strong. Hellbound: Hellraiser II is one of the best sequels ever made, maybe in any genre, in terms of its characters, atmosphere, and incredible dialogue and score. Hellraiser III is an underrated entry and Bloodline showed, at the very least, a ton of ambition and heart.
From there, things took a turn into straight-to-video territory. One that the series has never left. With DTV not really existing anymore—my God, how quickly things have changed—I’m curious to see what sort of release the new entry in the saga will get.
The aforementioned entry is Hellraiser: Judgment, a picture that was announced when it was already in production. This could be a red flag or it could be something worth praising. It’s awful to get people hyped up for something so far in advance that they either forget about it by the time it eventually happens, or get people excited and then have the movie fall apart for whatever reason. I think a lot of filmmakers fantasize about having a project that goes under the radar and isn’t picked up as a news story before it’s even rolling. It certainly lessens the pressure.
So now that it’s happening, how do we feel about it? There’s no turning back. Hellraiser: Judgment is in the can. And there are reasons to be worried, sure, that always seems to be the natural go-to state on the Internet. But there are reasons to be excited as well. As to which outweighs which, we’ll examine the facts and leave that up to you.
It’s directed by a franchise veteran
Gary Tunnicliffe goes back a long way with the Hellraiser series, back to Hellraiser III, in fact. He’s worked on the effects for every movie in the franchise since then, wrote the screenplay for Hellraiser: Revelations and has finally ascended to the director’s chair for Judgment. Hell, he’s such a fan that he even directed a fan film called “No More Souls” in which he himself played Pinhead. It can be found as an Easter Egg on the Hellraiser: Deader DVD.
It’s been a long time to get Judgment made in any incarnation and has been a longstanding labor of love for Tunnicliffe. Before it was a Hellraiser sequel, it was a kickstarter project that didn’t quite make it. He created original characters, an original story, and was looking to make this his first feature, but it didn’t quite come together at the time. Now, he’s been given the opportunity to meld his unique story and characters with a franchise he loves deeply and knows intimately.
The new Pinhead looks great
From what we’ve seen, at least, this Pinhead is a massive improvement over Stephan Smith-Collins in Revelations. Granted, we’ve only been given a heavily edited poster, but already the differences are very clear. They’ve taken a much needed “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach to the character. The design appears to be the same as Bradley’s version, but Paul Taylor already looks confident and composed in the makeup. Hopefully his performance will deliver.
It can’t be worse than Revelations
Let’s just address the elephant in the room. The Hellraiser sequels have been low budget, straight-to-DVD affairs for the past sixteen years and none of them have cost upwards of a million. But Revelations cost only $300,000 and that was simply not enough. Had it been made for the same amount as Deader or Hellworld it could have been one of the best of the video sequels, which only makes it all the more frustrating that didn’t happen. Revelations left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. It was made for all the wrong reasons, and had nothing going for it. Already, this has much more to offer than its predecessor.
It’s being made for the exact same reason as Revelations
While Judgment has a few more things going for it, it’s being made for the exact same reason that Revelations was made. Dimension needs to produce a film every five years in order to hold onto the rights to the franchise and here we are five years later in the exact same boat. It’s a situation that feels way too familiar to get too excited. Everybody saw how it turned out last time. Sure, business is always a factor, but a decision like this is purely economical and leaves very little room or time for creativity.
The people paying for it don’t care about quality
I don’t normally say that because in the world of Blumhouse I try to give producers and production companies the benefit of the doubt, but just look at the recent history of this series. The people with the power to get this project made only care about the profit. They want to make as much money as they can for as little money as possible. I can’t imagine they gave Tunnicliffe much to work with or were helpful when he ran into problems, but I have no real way of knowing for certain. Though, looking it at it as an outsider, this film happened really quickly, and they didn’t even try to negotiate with Bradley.
We could have had Doug Bradley back
At least from the way it sounds, from Doug’s perspective, negotiations were very brief and probably never serious. They wanted him to commit on the spot, more or less, and when he tried to see the script or asked about the NDA they wanted him to sign, that was the end of it. He was replaced almost immediately, but at least they found an actor this time instead of casting someone to fit into Bradley’s costumes. Sure, Paul Taylor might not have many credits, but a stage actor turned demonic acupuncture enthusiast is exactly what Doug was back in the day.
It didn’t start out as a Hellraiser movie
Sure, Judgment was a passion project for Gary Tunnicliffe, but it also was an original script that was converted to be a Hellraiser sequel, rather than a part of the mythology that was developed organically. Inferno, Hellseeker, Deader and—depending on what sources you listen to—Hellworld were all pre-existing scripts that were bought by the studio and converted into sequels after the fact. That wasn’t a great time, even if one or two of those weren’t terrible. It’s still not a time I was exactly hoping to go back to.
It’s a franchise that now has more bad movies than good ones
And it kills me to say that because I love this concept and the story and the characters so much, but it’s true. Even if I try to love as many of them as I can to some degree, it’s true. I can find a way to love every Friday the 13th sequel, but I actually have a harder time doing the same for Hellraiser. Revelations and Hellworld don’t have a lot to offer. Deader is strong, Hellseeker brings back elements that were sorely missed, but recycles the plot of Inferno, the previous entry. Pinhead got less and less screen time as the series progressed. I’d like to think Revelations was the bottom of the barrel. I believe that’s true. But either way, we’ll have to wait and see.

text: We examined the idea that aspartate metabolism by Lactobacillus subsp. M3 is organized as a proton-motive metabolic cycle by using reconstitution to monitor the activity of the carrier, termed AspT, expected to carry out the electrogenic exchange of precursor (aspartate) and product (alanine). Membranes of Lactobacillus subsp. M3 were extracted with 1.25% octyl glucoside in the presence of 0.4% Escherichia coli phospholipid and 20% glycerol. The extracts were then used to prepare proteoliposomes loaded with either aspartate or alanine. Aspartate-loaded proteoliposomes accumulated external [3H]aspartate by exchange with internal substrate; this homologous self-exchange (Kt = 0.4 mM) was insensitive to potassium or proton ionophores and was unaffected by the presence or absence of Na+, K+, or Mg2+. Alanine-loaded proteoliposomes also took up [3H]aspartate in a heterologous antiport reaction that was stimulated or inhibited by an inside-positive or inside-negative membrane potential, respectively. Several lines of evidence suggest that these homologous and heterologous exchange reactions were catalyzed by the same functional unit. Thus, [3H]aspartate taken up by AspT during self-exchange was released by a delayed addition of alanine. In addition, the spontaneous loss of AspT activity that occurs when a detergent extract is held at 37 °C prior to reconstitution was prevented by the presence of either aspartate (KD(aspartate) = 0.3 mM) or alanine (KD(alanine) ≥ 10 mM), indicating that both substrates interact directly with AspT. These findings are consistent with operation of a proton-motive metabolic cycle during aspartate metabolism by Lactobacillus subsp. M3.

Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral Economics
Colin Camerer's group is interested in how psychological forces and their deeper neuroscientific foundations influence economic decisions involving individuals and markets. They conduct economic experiments in the lab to elucidate brain behavior during decision making, strategizing, and market trading. Their research departs from previous theory in that it does not assume the mind to be a rational and perfect system, but rather focuses on the limitations of everyday people when they play actual games, and seeks to predict how they will behave in situations that involve strategy. Camerer is the author of Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction.

It’s Awards Season. We recently cheered the CMA’s, the AMA’s and the Oscars will be announced any day. Somehow we missed the Bad Sex In Fiction Awards. I know right? How on earth did that one get passed us? Sex and literature all rolled into one delicious mess. Squee.
Seems the award has been around for a while. It’s the brainchild of The Literary Review, the British magazine founded in 1979 by the head of the English department at Edinburgh University. Evidently, The Review is well known for this annual gift to writers. It’s given to the author who pens the worst sex scene in a novel.
Imagine the party conversation. What do you do? I search far and wide for the worst sexual drivel I can find. And you?
Want more? The trophy itself is a naked woman draped across an open book. The originators purpose is, “to draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it.” How delicious.
Do you think they mean nipple hardening, breath quickening, back arching and manhood in all its glory?
Even more interesting is the list of finalists this year. Michael Cunningham of “The Hours” fame, yes a Pulitzer Prize winner, makes the list. He’s a senior lecturer of creative writing at Yale. Hopefully, creative porn is not on the syllabus.
Another surprise? Richard Flanagan’s, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North,” widely considered one of the year’s great books, includes this, “Hands found flesh, flesh, flesh. He felt the improbable weight of her eyelash with his own; he kissed the slight, rose-coloured trench that remained from her knicker elastic, running around her belly like the equator line circling the world.”
The cad! To mention that a lady’s panties were so tight they left a trench across her orb-like middle is akin to us mentioning that size really does matter. Asshat.
Andrew Marr’s “Head of State,” offers, “They bucked like deer and squirmed like eels. And after that, vice versa.” Don’t deer rut? Just sayin’.
But the winner? Oh the winner. Mr. Ben Okri, an established novelist who won the Booker prize in 1991, has a host of literary accolades next to his name.
Okri begins, “When his hand brushed her nipple it tripped a switch and she came alight,” and ends with, “Somewhere in the night a stray rocket went off.” Aren’t you dying to know what he says right at that moment? The moment when the stray rocket goes off? And that chick must have some set of nipples. Think about it.
His response to the honor is less than enthusiastic. “A writer writes what they write and that’s all there is to it.”
Perhaps it’s a bit like being called out on your overlarge motorcycle or muscle car. Hopefully, it’s a fail on the page and not in the bedroom. It would, indeed, be tragic to have such a grasp on language and be unable to utter in the name of love. Perhaps these writers are so swept away words fail them; leaving nothing more than cliché.
Or perhaps all that bucking and nipple brushing has clouded their vision.


He is now developing his own compositional style for classical guitar, a musical style with a contrast of depth and sensibility that uncannily resembles the human condition. JLR is an old fashion classical music composer and guitarist with an influence of blues, impressionism, surrealism and rock. A kind of combination between Debussy and Hendrix. JLR mixes vintage ideas with modern ones, favors imaginative contrasts and breaks the traditional forms to remain unpredictable. His music is full of cinematic images and captivates the audience with an authenticity that tells a story.

First post and I have never played any kind of war gaming in the past.
I have had the Army book for a few weeks but have only played a few 500 - 1500 pt skirmishes so far.
Most casual games at my store are 2000 points so here we are. I was thinking about entering something like this into the votewar, but decided with no real play experience it would be best to start here.
Let me know if I am missing anything obvious. Thanks in advance.
"The Three Horsemen"
Blood Dragon Vampire Count
- Nightmare w/ Barding
- Wailing Helm
- Talisman of Protection
- Red Fury
- Nightmare w/Barding
- Rod of Flaming Death
- Nightmare w /Barding
- Hell Banner
15 Black Nights
- Barded Nightmares
- Hell Knight
- Standard Bearer
- Screaming Banner
- Book of Arkhan
- Dispell scroll
- Lt Armour
- Standard Bearer
7 Dire Wolves
7 Dire Wolves
5 Dire Wolves
4 Fell Bats
The plan is to use the 4 Terror causing units to get armies to break into the fast, manueverable units.
I realize that this may be too "themey" or fluffy. Another reason I did not throw it into the votewars.
I just assumed that if fear was good, then terror should be better as it would trump other fear producers.
I look forward to reading any comments and I will continue to find/read all the tactical stuff I can find. Thanks again.
Hmmm.... I'd have to look up if you have multiple terror causing characters in a unit that causes terror whether or not the enemy has to take a test for each one.
That's assuming you're putting the characters in with the Black Knights. Having the characters out on their own is a very bad idea as they'll be vulnerable to shooting and, as undead, very vulnerable to crumbling.
If you do put all the characters in the knights then I would strongly suggest switching the knights banner for the Banner of Doom as:
a) the knights will be prime target for any shooting and magic and the Banner of Doom protects against that
b) screaming banner only works for fear tests and not terror, though naturally terror causing units also cause fear
Also, relying on terror isn't a good plan. It either works or it doesn't there's not much middle ground and against some armies, Wood Elf forest spirit armies for eg., it wont work at all due to them being immune to psychology.
I would say your army has too few models. One unit of infantry is just not enough. I would go for three infantry units in a 2k game.
The BK unit is way too big imo. I would split it into 2 units of 5 and spend the leftover points on zombies. If your big 15-model BK unit dies, there is no "plan B".
I would drop the wraith for a second necro. You need him for the magic, especially since the BD count gets -1 on his.
Using the Black Coach is a bit of a gamble, but I am sure you know that
Cut the wolves down to 2 units of 5 or 6. Spend remaining points on cheap zombies.
So cut down a bit on the cavalry and get more infantry and magic. I must say I agree with 2000AD about the terror theme. On the other hand, an army built around a theme is fun, so if its fluff you are after, I say go for it!
Rork edit: Woah! Check your spelling - you only give "special chocies" to your girlfriend.
Since it's a casual game I'd say the best bet is to check up on the terror rules and then go and play it.
It's a bit of an 'all your eggs in one basket' army but if the [i]terror[/] rules do allow for each terror causing model in the unit to cause a test it could be a heck of a lot of fun, especially against low leadership armies.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Yeah, this is a more fluff driven list. I am working on a Strigoi list for somewhat competitive play.
I have heard about a Flying Circus list and I might try something similar.

A breakthrough has been made in wireless brain-to-computer connection speech synthesizer technology which could allow victims of paralysis the ability to speak again. “A system that turns brain waves into FM radio signals and decodes them as sound is the first totally wireless brain-computer interface. For now, 26-year-old Erik Ramsey, left almost entirely paralyzed by a horrific car accident 10 years ago, can only express vowel sounds with the system. That’s less than can be accomplished with wired brain-computer interfaces. But it’s still a promising step. ‘All the groups working on BCIs are working toward wireless solutions. They are very superior,’ said Frank Guenther a Boston University cognitive scientist who helped developed Ramsey’s system. In the last decade, brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, have made the jump from speculation to preliminary medical reality. Since Wired reported on quadriplegic BCI pioneer Matthew Nagle four years, the interfaces have been used to steer wheelchairs, send text messages and even to Tweet. They’re so advanced that some researchers now worry about BCI ethics — what happens when healthy people get them? And they’re concerned about the threat posed by hackers. But as amazing as these early BCIs are, they’re far from street-ready.”
