From Too Many Chefs -

March 18, 2004
St. Patrick's Day Soup?

green soup.jpg

In the Expat-flat we celebrated St. Patrick's Day quietly with an old friend and a new movie (Lost in Translation). In honor of the day, I made one of my favourite soups, which happens to be green. Sadly, it was only after the fact that I realized that a green soup made with English cheese was perhaps not the most tactful of tributes. Never mind, we'll pretend I used Cashel Blue instead of Stilton. (As an aside, did you know there are NO cheese shops in Stilton, England? How disappointing is that for a food pilgrim?)

Broccoli and Stilton Soup (serves 4-6)

3-4 medium broccoli heads
2 onions
4 cups chicken broth
6-8 sage leaves
2-3 cups cheese (Stilton, Cashel Blue, you can also add some cheddar and it's very nice)
1/2 cup milk
3 Tbs/50g butter
A little grated Parmesan as garnish

Roughly chop the onions and set them to soften on a medium heat with the butter in a large saucepan. While the onions are cooking, wash the broccoli heads and cut off the florets. Peel the thich stem by cutting into the end of the stalk and pulling down. I cut off the irritating smaller branches rather than peeling them too, but it depends on how conscientious you want to be. (It helps if you have a wormery like me - what isn't food for us is food for the little wriggling ones.) Chop the peeled stems and add them, with the florets to the saucepan. Add the broth, turn up the heat and cover. (You can substitute the water from cooking other vegetables or wine or even just plain water for the broth if you like. Last night, I used half broth and half water from boiling potatoes.)

Once the broccoli has turned bright green and is soft, remove the pan from the heat. At this point you can either use an immersion blender to blend the soup or remove it to a food processor for blending. The former will probably leave a few chunks in your soup but is less hassle to clean afterwards.

Return the filled saucepan to the heat. While it is reheating, break the Stilton or Cashel Blue in small pieces and chop the sage leaves. Add them gradually to the soup, stirring as you go to melt them. Add the milk and taste for salt and pepper.

It's a really lovely soup, full of flavour. It reminds me of the broccoli-with-cheese that was so popular when I was younger, except that the cheese is integrated with the broccoli and thus doesn't fall off onto your plate. This is a much more elegant way to pair the two!

We also had a roast beef and potatoes (very Irish) and to finish it off, a glass of Irish Whiskey (in a Waterford glass of course!).

A note on the photo: after reading Clotilde's recipe for Mimolette and Broccoli soup, I decided to follow her lead and include the leaves in my soup as well as the florets and stem. I saved a few of the leaves from the blender to make a prettier presentation!

I love blue cheese soups. I haven't seen much Cashel Blue here so when I try it I'll have to substitute - er, unsubstitute Stilton, which I happen to have in the fridge right now.

Posted by barrett on March 18, 2004 at 2:28 PM

I forgot to mention that you can't put too much cheese in a Broccoli and Stilton soup. (Wait, you can't put too MUCH or you CAN'T put too much...) There is no such thing as too much cheese. Or if there is, I haven't found it. St. Patrick's day was the first time I made it that my Critic didn't say "it was nice, but it could have used a little more cheese..."!

Posted by Meg in Paris on March 19, 2004 at 5:18 AM

That is delicious, to be sure. And you are right, you cannot use too much cheese. I think, for the Irish historically, it was an expensive delicacy and they tried to make up for it by developing recipes that were rich and smooth in other ways.

Posted by lazykitchenhand on March 19, 2004 at 5:25 AM

Yes, I think you are right about Irish cuisine historically - it's fairly simple and stodgy. However, these days it's much more sophisticated and there seems to be a big emphasis on local produce. I wanted to make salmon for a real Irish dinner, but unfortunately there are no fishmongers near my work and I needed to do the shopping at lunch time. So I settled for green soup!

Posted by Meg in Paris on March 19, 2004 at 5:56 AM

Hey! don't forget you'll need to invite an Irishman if you're having a "real" Irish dinner! (and that's a compliment from one who loves your cooking!)

Posted by Owen on April 13, 2004 at 7:06 AM

I've learned that if the broc.s are really fresh that using plain water not stock gives a lighter and crisper taste. Also I find that you can use to much cheese. Stilton is very strong and I feel it should balance the broc. not over whelm it.

Posted by Steven Smith on January 3, 2005 at 2:10 PM

i made this soup and everyone was saying theres too much cheese haha. i ate it and was a bit too strong but nice. how could you reduce the taste of the cheese afterwards if a bit too strong

Posted by debbie on June 20, 2009 at 2:51 PM

Debbie, there are several ways you could tone down the cheese flavor, though I wouldn't recommend doing all of them at once:

- use a milder cheese. A Stilton with lots of blue in it is stronger than one that is mostly white, usually

- reduce the amount of Stilton and replace some of it with a mild cheddar

- simply use less!

Actually, what I would recommend is starting with about half of the cheese called for in the recipe and then taste it. Then keep adding cheese until you feel it's just right! This is also a good strategy when you are making a spicy dish but don't want it TOO spicy. Just taste as you go - it's the most accurate way to tell how it's coming out!

Hope that helps!

I'm off probation. Noone seems to have an answer about how to have this resolved.. The tech that I bring it to for re-cal said he can't help me, its a DMV thing. I've had 4 separate units installed. Now the device goes off every 3 minutes, and sometimes doesn't even beep or time my blow period until lockout. I've tried pulling my records, but it's no longer an option for customers to access this via the SmartStart hotline. I can't even speak to a rep with the company, get put on hold, then they hang up. Please advise.
Trying to get what resolved? You'd have to prove the machine screwed up. Call a local DUI attorney for help.

Newington Pizza. 75 Market Square, Newington CT

#1 May 31, 2014
On 5/21/14 my family and I and friends ordered three big pizza pies at NEWINGTON PIZZA, 75 MARKET SQ. NEWINGTON CT. Upon serving it at our large table , my husband was advised that the total was $68.12 . When my husband questioned why the order total changed when we first ordered it; he was told that's what the total is because we had ordered after 9:00 PM. My husband advised the employee ( the owner's son ) that he was told 20 minutes ago that the original price quoted by NEWINGTON PIZZA was $49.53 The owner's, nasty son began yelling at my husband since my husband said that he wants the price as he originally ordered PLUS husband asked the rude NEWINGTON PIZZA'S bosses son for his credit card back! The owner's son then yelled at my husband again stating "Thanks, for wasting my time; you MORON! " There were several loud exchanges of words. My husband left. I talked to the father the ( store owner ) who said that after 9 PM the prices go up ( did you ever hear of anything so ridiculous!} The father ( the owner ) told me, my family and friends were never to come back in his place again or he will call the state police!! It certainly was a horrible and humiliating experience and the town of Newington Ct should close NEWINGTON PIZZA down as soon as possible!!
Thank you very much.

Terrible, awful, profane and undignified treatment at the hands of the pizza-man's son.

Charging more after a certain hour? Ridiculous. You'd think they were a huge, multi-national oil company on a busy holiday weekend.

Close them down? Because your feelings were hurt?

Have to buy a new hair dryer, wondering if the Brazilian Tech keratin dryer is worth it. I have never treated with keratin; have fine long hair that is prone to be frizzy when humid. Can anyone give advice on this dryer? Sally’s has it for $71 and I have coupon. I hate buying cheap stuff from wal-mart to have it break. Thank you.

I'm in the market for a new hair dryer so this "buying guide" was helpful. The Vidal Sassoon and the CHI dryers especially caught my eye. Thanks for including a variety of dryers, with varying price ranges.

The best hair dryer I've EVER used is the Karmin G3 salon pro hair dryer. It is really powerful but it has ceramic and negative ions so it dries super fast without damaging hair. More people should try it! I love it to bits!!!

Subject: Great Deck   Posted: November 10, 2009 08:14 pm

This is the best Inuyasha deck I've seen on TCO. You've got a great balance of characters so it's nearly impossible for you not to be able to rescue them during recovery. I am curious as to why you have 10 of the exact same Miroku card when you have different versions of the other characters. But, that doesn't change that this is a strong deck.

Subject: Thanks!   Posted: November 17, 2009 08:10 am

Thanks a lot for the kind words about the deck.

I tried to go for a consistent basis of characters while still trying to stay diverse.

The reason I have only one version of Miroku is a matter of consistence. I really liked the draw power and the ability to save any character in the deck excluding InuYasha.

In any case, thanks again for the comment. Maybe we can play sometime. ^_^

I'm just curious as to why you aren't running Tetsusaiga, Red in this deck? Am I missing something, cause I've always known it to be the best version of it?

Curtis Davies to Reading?
Jan 22, 2013 - 12:28 AM
Reading are considering a bargain £1.5million swoop for Birmingham stopper Curtis Davies.

The Premier League Royals have been notified cash-strapped Championship City have to sell this month.

Brum want Davies' £27,000-a-week salary off their wage bill to cut costs.

And Reading are mulling over a bargain bid to boost their survival prospects.

Two mobility revolutions transport policy has had nothing to do with – yet

What have been the two sustainable mobility revolutions of the past decade? Of course, that is an impossible question. I am sure that if you asked 10 different people you would get 10 different answers.

Brussels and Gothenburg highlight difficulties of tackling congestion

The unofficial capital of Europe is the most congested city in Europe, according to the latest ranking of congested cities, but opinion sampling and a vote in Gothenburg suggest public willingness for tackling congestion is not great.

Rail reforms amended

MEPs this week voted to approve rail reforms that would harmonise technical specifications and create a single EU-wide authorisation procedure for rail stock. However, the European Parliament diluted the Commission’s proposal to more clearly separate companies that run rail infrastructure from those that provide freight and passenger services, reversing a previous position by its transport committee.

Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport

Travel Guide North America USA Midwestern United States Minnesota Minneapolis-Saint Paul Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport

Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) is the main gateway to Minneapolis-Saint Paul. It has dozens of airlines serving hundreds of destinations throughout the country and outside.

For more information about other airports throughout the world, also see the list of airports.

Getting there and away

Several large parking ramps are available for cars. Most other connections are made at the Hub Building and adjacent Transit Center, which has city and shuttle bus, taxi, light-rail, and rental car service.

  • Rail: The Hiawatha Line has stops at both the Hub Building (Lindbergh Station) and Humphrey Terminal (Humphrey Station). It connects the airport with downtown Minneapolis as well as with the Mall of America in nearby Bloomington, and operates as a shuttle service between the two airport terminals. Travelers can use the rail line to go between the two sites at all times. It is the only part of the line that operates continuously through the night (the rest shuts down for about four hours between 1:00am and 5:00am). Passengers going between the two terminals may ride free of charge, but those riding beyond the airport grounds must pay a standard fare.

Getting around

Two trams (people movers) are at the airport. One carries passengers from the main section of Lindbergh Terminal to the Hub Building, and another runs along the long Concourse C in that terminal. The Hiawatha Line (see above) is the free ride between the terminals.

Airlines, Destinations and Terminals

There are two terminals: the Lindbergh Terminal and the Humprey Terminal. Almost all flights use the Lindbergh Terminal. For more information about airlines, also see the list of airlines and the details about budget airlines.

He has a greenstick fracture and the cast is only for pain relief more than actual bone placement. He got a new green lighter cast today and no longer has to wear his sling so that has made him happier. After this we went back to Wim and Ria's (our second home) for lunch and an afternoon catching up on washing and general organisational things. Tonight we went to ...

Getting late, we walked back into the city crossing the Erasmus bridge which spans the Maas river. Saw lots of different buildings on the way. The newest one is called 'the Rotterdam'. A lot of buildings are architecturally very different and look as if they are out of balance or toppling over. Time for dinner , so we stopped at Melief ...

Songpan is a picturesque walled town in northern Sichuan where we stopped for en route to the nearby national park, Jiuzhaigou. Although it appears old, it was actually completely reconstructed in the early 2000's, though unlike a lot of similar towns that have been through similar rebuilding, it doesn't feel too "Disney-China". It was quite a pleasant place to spend an afternoon walking up the valley wall to park of the old city gate, and for playing "guess the organ" at ...

Thursday, January 20, 2005

On my last day trekking the temples of Angkor I grew bolder and climbed faster and almost fearlessly. Having visited all the main temples I was ready for some more relaxed ones at first and then to view Angkor Wat at sunset I knew I'd have a challenge ahead of me and that's what I wanted. I'd already seen the tremendous hill that the guidebooks and my tuk-tuk driver said is the place to be for sunset and I felt a bit daunted yet excited. That said, I had a little over eight hours ahead of me to gear up before the sun would set and I thought that I'd see what else there was to explore.

After breakfast Prom picked me up promptly at 10:00 and we drove to Angkor. I love riding in the tuk-tuk so much that yesterday I asked if we could just drive around a bit and see most of the temples from the outside before we left. He didn't quite seem to understand why I wanted to be tooled about all over the place but he probably figured that I had some sort of memsahib complex. He obliged nonetheless. I enjoyed every second of it with my arms splayed out and my feet propped up smiling and waving as though I were in a damn parade and looking like a complete ass no doubt.

I didn't expect to be completely blown away -- as I said I'd already seen the heavy hitters but there were still some gems. While walking down a long passageway through the jungle to one of the minor temples I heard live classical Khmer music playing. There were five men seated on a mat near the dirt path and the music was intoxicating. There were parrots cawing above, the wind was rustling the leaves in the treetops and the strings, chimes and drum of the quintet reverberated an air of mystique that had me spellbound. I sat and listened in the cool shade and looked all around smiling knowing this was one of those moments that will always be cherished. It was beautiful and was made more beautiful still by the indomitable spirt of the musicians -- all of whom were land mine victims. I soaked it all in for maybe twenty minutes then I bought their CD and sauntered up the path to the temple after offering a grateful bow and respectful wai.

Hours passed as I trekked and then it was time for lunch at one of the stalls that line the street opposite each of the temples. They're all same-same-but-different and I've had some decent lunches at them for the past two days but not all stalls are created equally. This one in particular was a bit well, unhygienic and when I saw all the chickens roaming about and the couple's lunches across from me I told Prom to take me to his favorite place in Angkor and it would be my treat. He took me to a place that actually had a real floor and real chairs made out of wood and our amok fish (my favorite) was served in a coconut, which I prefer to the banana leaf that it's normally served in. When I saw the tablecloths I thought at first I was being fleeced but when an amazing lunch for two comes to five dollars who can complain?

A couple more temples later and it was time for the big challenge to scale the hill for sunset. Getting out of the tuk-tuk with my hands on my hips I stared up in disbelief. I looked at the sign that showed three paths; the "elephant path" where you could be taken up for 20 bucks on the back of a pachyderm, the trail to the right of the hill was listed as "easy" and the one I was facing was marked "dangerous". I opted for the latter. Climbing up this thing actually ended up being less terrifying than scaling most of the steep temples but it was exhausting. The chorus of sighs and nervous chatter between strangers continued all the way up but when we reached the top and I saw the ladder-like steps of the temple ahead I almost collapsed. All I could think about was how in God's name is this motley throng of tourists going to get down this treacherous hill in the dark? I started asking guides where the easy path was that we'd be descending and none of them had any idea what the hell I was talking about. After about the fifth person I asked had no idea I felt pretty sure that there was no "easy path" and it'd all been some sick farce in the first place. As the sun was beginning to set with roughly thirty minutes to spare I took a shot of Angkor Wat and realized that the sinking sun wasn't going to do much. With my simple digital camera it was becoming clear that it wouldn't even show up and as the seconds passed the top of the temple was filling up quickly and I was looking at hoards more who'd just cleared the summit.

Just as I was debating on whether to stick around or not I ran into Mark from Australia whom I shared a table with at lunch yesterday. He agreed that we should get the hell out of there before the great exodus. All I could think was that it'd only take one person to make one false move and slip and then dozens would quickly follow. We bolted down the elephant path scooting aside as the elephants trekked up with tourists precariously perched on top rushing to see a rather unspectacular sunset blurred by the Cambodian red dust. It was worth it where we left it but thirty minutes more would have been potentially dreadful. I love a challenge and I'll trod the dangerous path I just don't want someone straying from their path and ending up on top of me.

I'd already made dinner plans with Gary an ex pat I met a couple of days ago when a film crew was looking for extras. Gary signed up. I was going to until I heard the call time of 6:30 in the morning and I know myself far too well to even think twice about that. Gary is originally from the suburbs of Chicago and moved here on a mission to find a way to help the land mine victims and the beggars. Gary is chockful of the Lord but he's not preachy thank Christ and he's a very admirable and likable chap. We sat at an outdoor table in an alleyway and even though Gary said it smelled like cat piss we stayed because he said that he'd probably get used to it. I hope he did but I did notice that when we were leaving he was right. We'd just sat down when I saw Pablo from Germany whom I'd met in the Preah Khan temple yesterday and we had him join us. We had a great dinner and it was terrific to run into Pablo again who's seriously delightful. We had great conversation and Gary and I told him about some places to go to Phnom Penh since he was heading there in the morning.

Tomorrow I'll need to secure a ticket back to Bangkok in two days so that I can catch the train there for Chiang Mai. I've been to several travel agencies and that's about the cheapest option and it's either fly Bangkok Air and spend a fortune or fly Laos' national carrier and I don't like the sounds of that. It's looking like I'll be spending ten hours on a bus but by God I'm taking a sleeping pill or at least a Vicodin for that one.

While temple trekking was surprisingly thrilling I'm very much looking forward to meandering about this charming town for another day and doing very little a lot slower.

So I'm finally home, mainly for Katie and Nick's wedding, and though I'm happy and excited to be a part of their day, something just isn't right.  How is it that the place that I grew up with, where I lived for over twenty years, feels more foreign to me than any country I've ever been to?  Is it possible for you to know a place too well?  You know how some people say you can drink yourself sober; has my existence in Bloomington IL finally come full circle? It's like there is nothing else for me there.  I have friends and family, sure.  But it's just not home anymore.  So, for the indefinite future, I suppose I have no home.  Or, the world is my home.  I'm content with that.

The two weeks spent in my former home were exactly as expected. Chaotic, tiring, frustrating...and yes, a hell of a lot of fun. A bachelorette party in St Louis was followed by a week of preparing for the wedding which turned out splendidly.  It was low key, but beautiful.  The most memorable part though, was that in the middle of saying her vows, when asked by the pastor "til death do you part?", Katie replies with  a resounding "Huh?", as if she wasn't aware that what shewas getting into was for life.  Everyone chuckled, the photographer got a great photo, Katie corrected herself and they moved on.  Great memories always come from the things that aren't supposed to happen.  Really, who wants a "perfect" wedding.  My mom always likes to tell the story of when my cousin and I were in a wedding together, he as ring bearer and myself as flower girl.  In the middle of the cermony, he and I were sitting on the steps at the front of the church tossing the ring pillow back and forth.  I've never seen it, but apparently on the video from the wedding, you can hear Ben, my cousin, shout out "nice catch!".  Even though the only memory I have of that day has been told to me, I still smile when thinking of that imperfect moment.  Hopefully the rest of my life will be filled with imperfectness.

I'm on my way to Scotland with my sister next.  Tara and I are going to travel in triangle form; from Glasgow to Inverness and finally to Edinburgh where we will part ways.  She will head back home, and I will head to Germany for a few days for a friend's thirtieth birthday.  Moving on...

As I was wheeling the bike out first thing this morning the wheels didnt want to turn due tothe amount of dried earth that was caked all over it from our ride back from the farm last night.  Out with the hosepipe and it gets a much needed wash.
German John visited mid morning and we bike out to the farm for a walkabout.
Lazy afternoon and due to the amount of rain that fell at the farm last night we decide to give the watering a miss today.

 We woke up so early this morning so we could drive out to the Salt Flats and view the sunrise. Freddie stopped the Jeep just in time for all of us to jump out and start snapping pictures with this incredible view. After a short while, we started having fun with it and playing with perspective (please see photos attached).

For breakfast we went to Fish's Island, a small island in the middle of the Salt Flats that has so many cactuses and and a small collection of bird's and animals. The island is so small, we walked it in about half an hour. Then we sat down and ate sweet bread with Dulce de Leche (mmm, so good!)

After the island, we started driving towards Uyuni and stopped once at a Salt Museum. It had all sorts of Salt sculptures so I took some pictures and then we started to drive towards the salt mountains... but we ran out of gas again! Making the best of it, we took some more pictures on the salt flats and waved down every Jeep that passed. I think Sarah can be a professional waver with all the waving she did that day! We stopped about 10 Jeeps and none of them wanted to let us borrow the gasolina. Finally, someone stopped and we were on our way again! And at the first gas station we found, we filled up!

Then we drove through Uyuni to the Train Graveyard. It seems to not only be a graveyard for trains, but of every other type of garbage you can imagine. The trains were really cool, but these people don't know what to do with their trash so they literally throw it on the ground and wait for it to blow away. Some of them will simply try to burn it! Bolivia seems to be a huge land fill with trash in every direction and it's really sad because it's such an interesting country!

And the last fun piece of our trip was that Sarah got maggots in her potatoes! So now we are Team Extreme ready for our next adventure!

Johnson Controls Pre-Earnings: Weak Europe Could Offset Gains From Asia

by Trefis Team
Johnson Controls
Rate   |   votes   |   Share

Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI) will announce first quarter earnings of fiscal 2013 Friday, January 18. The company provides automotive batteries and interiors and has benefited from rising automotive production in Asia and North America. But declining automotive production in Europe, which constitutes around 40% of total sales has strained gains from Asia and North America. [1]

Additionally, the growing construction industry in Asia-Pacific, particularly China has driven growth in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), and real estate service businesses of Johnson Controls. But weakness in non-residential construction spending in Europe and North America, has impacted growth from Asia in the building-related businesses of the company.

In all, Johnson Controls faces tough first quarter earnings with slowdown in Europe, threatening to offset growth provided by Asia and North America. Additionally, restructuring activities which were initiated by the company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, will also pressure earnings by raising costs.

We currently have a stock price estimate of $30.36 for Johnson Controls, approximately 5% below its current market price.

See our complete analysis of Johnson Controls here

Rising Automotive Production In Asia And North America

The rising automotive production in Asia led by China is raising demand for automotive batteries and automotive interiors. Johnson Controls serves this market by providing a variety of automotive batteries like lead-acid for traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) for start-stop vehicles and Li-ion for hybrid and electric vehicles. It serves the automotive interior market by providing seats, electronic systems, floor consoles, and door and front panels. With high quality products and aggressive marketing, the company is positioned as a leading player in most automotive markets of Asia. For instance, in the automotive seating market in China, Johnson Controls occupies top position with 44% market share. [2] Thus, the growing automobile industry in Asia is driving growth for Johnson Controls’ automotive businesses.

Along with Asia, the recovering automotive production in North America is also adding to this growth. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, higher automotive production in Asia and North America will drive sales growth of the company.

Growing Share Of Start-Stop Batteries

Another trend that is adding to sales growth of Johnson Controls’ automotive businesses, is the growing share of start-stop vehicles. This is raising the share of relatively higher priced AGM batteries which power these vehicles. Johnson Controls anticipates that by 2016, up to 40% of vehicles produced in the U.S. will be start-stop. [3] In the first quarter, this trend will contribute to sales growth.

Increasing Construction Spending In Asia

Further, rising construction spending in Asia is also driving sales for building-related businesses of the company. The company provides HVAC systems, energy and operational management services for commercial buildings. This will add to sales growth of the company in the first quarter.

Slowdown In Europe To Impact Sales And Earnings

However, growth provided by Asia in building and automotive segments and by North America in the automotive segment, could be overshadowed by declining automotive production and construction spending in Europe. Additionally, Asia constitutes around 15%, North America around 40% and Europe around 40% of the total sales of Johnson Controls. [1]

The sovereign debt crisis of Europe, impacted sales and earnings of Johnson Controls in fiscal 2012. In the automotive interiors segment of the company, sales from Europe declined 3% year-over-year to $9.9 billion, posting a loss of $52 million from the region in fiscal 2012, compared to a profit of $116 million in fiscal 2011. [4] Also, sales and earnings from Europe declined in the automotive battery segment and building-related businesses of the company in fiscal 2012. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we anticipate the trend to continue due to persisting slowdown in business activity in the region.

Restructuring Activities To Also Impact Earnings

Johnson Controls also initiated restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, to better align its resources with growth markets and to reduce its cost structures. These restructuring activities, which include workforce reductions and plant consolidations, will incur one-time charges and thus impact earnings in the first quarter.

Re: The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

Is there a second FYE anywhere in your area that you can check? I remember you saying you were scoping for Nom Anor.

Mine stocks Star Wars figures, but most of the time it's much older ones like the 2011 AOTC wave(Mace, Peasant Anakin, Peasant Padme). I need to call or drive out there and see if they've updated their stock since my last visit a couple of months ago.
We lived through another's a good excuse to celebrate.

I think my favorite part of the whole thing is that it's Twilight fanfic with the serial numbers filed off.
Even in the darkness every color can be found

Re: Ongoing Community Discussion Thread

Are you saying Paintball 2 could have been real? Or the Chang coup de tat? Community gave up on plausible after the first season.

What ever happened to the school of air conditioning repair, did S4 just drop that entire thread?

For what it's worth, "Savage Curtain" has the lilac/lavendar paint going all the way up on the back walls:

Yes, I'd noticed the walls. But there were shots showing the grey stripe going across all the walls (Let That Be Your Last Battlefield and The Mark of Gideon),which I liked better. I guess some choices are a matter of what I'd rather go with!

Having trouble now with the briefing room color scheme. So many color variations between episodes! I'm liking the mid season 2 version the best (grey wall panels, light-blue curved beams, grey bulkheads), but the uglier season 3 version (seafoam green wall panels and bulkheads, light blue curved beams) seems to fit more into the time period I'm going for.

Anyone have any objections if I use the "there was more than one briefing room" defense?

Re: Star Trek Voyager: Protectors by Kirsten Beyer, Jan 2014!

I had the feeling that Protectors was going to be a "set-up" kind of book.

Or, as I like to think of it, Kirsten has a Bachelor of Fine Arts and knows how to use it.

Between this and some other fantastic news I got today in my alter ego as a political activist, this really has been an excellent day.
Fate protects fools, little children and ships named Enterprise.
But not ships named Columbia.

Re: Phase II Kickstarter

Well then, this thread needs a reboot and title change to "The Realities and Legalities of Producing and Distributing Fan Films."

I'd never watched many fan films til this weekend, when I've been a bit sick and perusing the nets for star trek, and came across the Phase 2 kickstarter. Watched a few episodes, and gladly contributed -- beautiful production that's worth assisting. Wish I could do more. Thank you to all of the cast and crew for keeping me amused while I was sick (goes for Interpid, Potemkin and Hidden Frontier folk too, since I watched a couple of each of those as well!) and I look forward to seeing more!
