Vanilla wafers gluten1/1/2024 ![]() The format for the majority of my recipes (just in case you happen to be a new visitor) is the original gluten containing recipe is in black and my GF tweaks and suggestions are in red. ![]() Whoa, how was that for an ADD tangent?!! □ So if you have a kiddo who is having a hard time with not getting “hot lunch,” like mine is, maybe this video will help! Kindergarten can be a harsh place to be different. Now I just need to help my son stay in his place of acceptance as he goes on his journey of growing up gluten-free in a “Lunchable” land (I couldn’t resist the twist on Adam Sandler’s “Lunchlady Land”). It is kind of like a physical guide to keep you safe and healthy and out of the land of denial!).įast forward to today… just knowing that I can have whatever I want, (if I am willing to make it) has done so much in terms of getting me to a place of acceptance for my new normal. So consider yourself “lucky” if you experience a reaction to gluten. I know how much missing a particular food can lead one to consider “cheating,” and I was a MAJOR cheater (but I was also devoid of all the “classic” GI symptoms. I was stuck in the land of denial for 3 years and harmed myself greatly because of it. I also really want to help those who are newly diagnosed or those who may be stuck in the denial/depression phase of a celiac diagnosis, which I understand all too well. My hope is to help others save some money ( by not disposing of your “regular” cookbook collection!), and some time ( I can literally spend weeks researching and testing different recipes for one particular item, but I am fascinated by the research and I love to experiment… but that is not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea!). Once I learned the basics of cooking gluten-free, I was then able to figure out how to convert gluten recipes to be gluten-free. I mistakenly assumed I could never use them again, which is just not true. I rarely find my recipes on gluten-free websites or in gluten-free cookbooks, not because there aren’t some really great recipes out there, because there are! Before my celiac diagnosis, I had well over a hundred “regular” cookbooks which I impulsively gave away. I am not a recipe creator, but rather a recipe “recycler”. Since I still do not have an “About Me” or an “About this Blog” page published (I am working on it), I thought I would re-mention how I get the recipes that I post. I was wondering how I was going to give everyone the recipe without violating a copyright, but after a little searching on the internet, I found the EXACT same recipe on another website that I can link to! □ I found the following recipe on. Absolutely amazing results! Outside of the fact that they do not look like a carbon copy of Nabsico’s Nilla Wafers (I lack the machine to replicate the precise uniformity!), the taste is SPOT ON! ![]() I recently bought one of Todd Wilbur‘s cookbooks, “ Even More Top Secret Recipes,” and inside was a recipe for homemade Nilla Wafers. The kids were going to be making “Bear Bagels.” There is nothing like the pressure I put on myself to make Sam feel “normal” at school to rev up my stubborn determination to “get it right!” I had actually given up trying for a while until Sam’s teacher sent home the Friday Fun Snack recipe of the week. ![]() I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this recipe! I had been playing around with various gluten-free recipes for copycat Nilla Wafers, but was never all that impressed with the results.

If you’ve followed the instructions above, you’ll have twinkling stars something like in the below video.Ĭreate amazing nights within your slides by just changing the slide backgrounds - as you can see in above video. ![]() And set the duration to 0.2 seconds.Īnd That’s it! Make your stars as tiny you want and play the presentation in Slideshow view. Step 8) Now again select all stars and go to Animations menu and Click on Add Animation and select Pulse from the emphasis category.Īnd as we done earlier, select all Pulse animations within Animation pane and Set the Timing > Repeat > Until End of the Slide. Note: Set all animations to Start: With Previous Step 7) Select all animations within the Animation pane and double click, it will open animation properties window, select the Timing > Set Repeat to Until end of the slides and later select individual star and set duration values to differ from each other. To do that! Select all stars you’ve created by hitting Ctrl + A and from the Animations menu within Ribbon choose Add Animation and select Spin. Step 6) Now its time to animate them, for animations we gonna use Spin within emphasis category and also add Pulse from the same category. Note if applying fill doesn’t work try applying outline fill to solid white. And select all the stars and change their fill to solid white color as shown in Figure below. Step 5) Change the slide background to solid black or even you can opt for any darker color or gradient. Step 4) Now duplicate the star shape and create stars as many as you want and place them in random manner on top side of the slide. And later resize it to a small tiny level (see Figures below). So click and hold your mouse on the yellow point and drag down till the star becomes slim but not too much thin. Step 3) The Inserted shapes looks like a star but we are talking about twinkling stars that are tiny is size. ![]() Step 2) Click on the Insert menu from the Ribbon and Choose Shapes > Select 6 Point star or 8 point star (Your wish) within Stars and Banners category. Step 1) Open PowerPoint and select Blank Presentation (for this tutorial we are using PowerPoint 2013 you can use any version above 2010). So, follow these steps and pictures to create your own twinkling stars. In today’s edition we’ll show you how to create animated twinkling stars in PowerPoint by just using the PowerPoint’s native shapes and couple of animations. We are back with one more cool PowerPoint animation tutorial.

Fire and brilliance venice ring1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() In contrast, brilliant-cut diamonds demonstrate greater brilliance and less fire.Ī diamond splits white light into colours of the spectrum, referred to as ‘fire.’ What is scintillation? For example, Emerald-cut diamonds give greater fire but less brilliance. Some diamond cuts exhibit greater fire than others. When we see the colours of the spectrum in a diamond, we call this fire. This means that a beam of white light going into a diamond comes out as a spectrum of different colours. In diamonds, this effect appears as random bursts of colour-most noticeable in bright sunlight. This same effect occurs when light passes through a prism resulting in a rainbow of coloured light. We see the same effect in water droplets when a rainbow forms. As visible light passes through a diamond, it splits into different colours. Diamonds sparkle owing to the effect of brilliance with additional factors. As a result, poorly cut diamonds appear far less brilliant by comparison. Conversely, a poorly proportioned diamond leaks light. As a result, reduced proportions resulted in less brilliance. This allowed light to pass through the bottom of the diamond. But, historically, older cut diamonds featured deeper proportions and 58 facets with a culet. They’re modern proportions guarantee brilliance in very good and excellent cut grades. Modern round brilliant-cut diamonds feature 57 facets. ![]() Light passes back to the eye through the table facet. As a result, a well-proportioned diamond reflects most light back internally. The proportions and symmetry of a diamond change the way light passes through a diamond. Light bends as it passes from one medium to another- an effect referred to as refraction.Īs this light travels through the diamond, it strikes another surface within the stone, and reflects white light back to the eye. The passage of light through a diamond slows as it passes through the matrix of carbon crystal. Light refraction and reflection in diamonds In the following video, a round brilliant cut diamond sparkles with fire, brilliance and scintillation in a tension setting of our Unity ring design. But few people understand the difference between each of these terms. Most people refer to fire, brilliance and scintillation. For this reason, great time and effort go into cutting a diamond to release not only beauty but its value at the same time. The cut and proportions of a diamond can influence value by as much as 40 per cent. In fact, the diamond engagement ring has become the iconic symbol of love.Ī significant part of a diamond’s value results from the cutting process. At the same time, light reflects from the stone.įor this reason, diamonds provide the ultimate symbol of love. From the rough crystal to the final faceted gemstone, the final result changes the passage of light passing through the diamond. The diamond-cutting process reveals the true hidden beauty of a diamond. From an insignificant crystal in the ground, the true beauty of a diamond comes from the expertise of the diamond cutter. I have already referred several friends to F&B and will be returning again and again for amazing fine jewelry.The process of diamond cutting transforms a diamond and gives it sparkle. I also love that F&B is a second generation family owned jeweler and small business that I feel good supporting. I feel confident that I will be able to pass this ring down generations and generations. I get compliments every day on my gorgeous ring and no one questions what kind of stone it is. By choosing the high quality Charles & Colvard Forever One Hearts and Arrows colorless moissanite as my center stone, I was able to get my dream ring without sacrificing cut, color, carat, or budget. Not only was it made with the best materials on the market, it had a delicacy and daintiness that many other models lacked, yet still wowed with the glam showstoppig center stone. After deciding on a micropavé band with a found six prong center for my engagement ring, I looked at several jewelers and knew I'd found the ONE when I stumbled across Fire & Brilliance.

Captain parker1/1/2024 His teams have taken first place for years in Kona and abroad, with such outstanding tournament wins as the World Cup Tournament (2002) and twice winning the Bisbee’s Black & Blue in Los Cabos Mexico (2004 & 2016). It still stands in the top 10 largest Pacific blue marlin ever landed on rod and reel.Ĭaptain Marlin Parker’s tournament record is enviable. His largest blue to date hit the scales at an incredible 1400 pounds. It was a prophetic beginning for the skipper who is regarded as one of the best marlin fishermen in the islands, and even worldwide. Only months after receiving his Captain’s license, he landed a 1,257-pound monster, which was, at that time, the largest Blue Marlin ever weighed at Kailua-Kona caught on 80-pound class tackle. Parker began chartering professionally in 1976. After many hours the giant fish was lost, but the memory is as vivid today as if it happened last week. As his mother and father took turns in the fighting chair trying to catch the giant fish, the 5-year-old assisted on the controls. ![]() When he was 5 years old and fishing with his parents, they fought a marlin estimated at over 1000 pounds. Marlin Parker was raised fishing with his father. It was destiny that landed MARLIN PARKER in the world of big game fishing. His first son was born shortly thereafter and was named in honor of the grand fish. Take a look at this large collection of Fallout New Vegas walkthroughs to save time working your way through the game.In November 1954, Kona charter Captain George Parker captured a 1,002-pound Pacific blue marlin, the first Pacific blue grander ever landed in US waters. This post is part of the series: Fallout New Vegas Walkthroughs Killing him will just make the rest of the compound hostile and it will cost you a lot of NCR reputation too. ![]() He’s still an NCR officer and still in charge. There’s nothing else that you can do about it. After your front row seat to an execution, you can talk to Captain Parker and get another 100 caps. Surprisingly, this goes in the opposite direction that you might expect. In for a penny, in for a pound.įollow Captain Parker as he slowly walks over to the Aerotech Office Suite 200, and watch the scene play out as he arrests Keith. There’s no reason that you shouldn’t agree to this. He’ll pay a few caps for your quick investigation, and offer an extra chunk of change if you help him in the arrest. Go talk to Captain Parker and reveal your successful investigation. If you open this desk, you’ll find a bunch of playing cards and also find his hidden pack of marked cards. Go through the corridor with the abandoned rooms and look for the one desk that is marked as owned (it counts as stealing). If you can’t pass the Speech check or the Barter check, go into one of the back offices and search for his pack of marked cards in the desk. If you can do either of these, you will have your evidence. If you’ve got 60 points in Speech, you can call him out as a fellow con man and convince him to reveal his tricks. If you’ve got 45 points in Barter, he should be willing to reveal just about everything to you and even sell you some Jet. Keith can be talked into cooperating pretty easily. Go into the Aerotech Office Park Suite 200 and look for the one named man in the red jumpsuit. ![]() It’s a good way to pick up quick caps and is especially easy if you have skills in Speech or Barter. Note that you should probably grab “ The Coyotes” while you’re here too. He’ll give you a note promising a nice reward if you can prove that he’s dealing drugs or cheating at cards. Find him at either location and talk to him and he’ll mention his problems with Keith and his suspicious behavior. He usually sleeps in the tent outside at night. You can find Captain Parker sitting outside by the entrance during the day. You can do this quick unmarked quest by going to the Aerotech Office Park. Captain Parker - Starting the Invesigation

Meld calculator mayo12/31/2023 Honey - look for raw honey, as it does not go through a lot of processing like regular honey does. Mayonnaise can get a bad wrap because of the unhealthy oils and sugar it’s typically made with, but Primal Kitchen is a life saver with their avocado oil mayonnaise. I use Primal Kitchen’s Avocado Oil Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise – Look for mayonnaise that is made using 100% avocado oil and has no added sugar. If not dairy free, you could use regular Greek yogurt, just make sure it is plain and unsweetened. I use Kite Hill plain unsweetened Greek yogurt to keep it dairy free. Greek yogurt - Make sure to use unsweetened plain Greek yogurt. Just make sure you are buying shelled sunflower seeds (most commonly referred to as "sunflower nuts"). Sunflower nuts - These are the small seeds inside a sunflower seed - these are often referred to as "nuts" even though they're technically seeds. I don’t recommend a green apple, or any other tart variety. Both Applegate and Niman Ranch have great options.Īpples – You’ll definitely want to use a sweet apple, such as honey crisp, Fuji, or gala. Preferably look for organic bacon (or a label stating no antibiotics were used) and bacon without any added sugar. If you don't love bacon, just skip it.Ĭlean food tip: First, look for uncured bacon, which means it's processed without added nitrates or nitrites. You could try lacinato kale, but that is a bit richer in flavor and might be overpowering in this kale broccoli salad.Ĭabbage – I like adding in some more color, plus the cabbage adds more nutrients, but you could omit all together if needed.īacon - Bacon is a guilty pleasure of mine and I love the flavor it brings to this salad.

Sandboxie plus github12/31/2023 In fact it does NOT! Currently I have no idea how I could have gotten this wrong initially?!:oops:įact is that current production-version of Opera v.80 is the last one that will run sandboxed with HW-acceleration=ON. Unfortunately I'v been premature in reporting that the latest upgrade to Sanboxie_Plus v.0.9.8 would already fix the newly discovered problems wit advanced Opera_developer-browser v.82. Since Opera v.80 (and also with HW-acceleration=off) the installation-process itself will no longer succeed with a target-folder being force-sandboxed - as has been possible with previous Opera-versionsįurther update about this issue by algol1: ![]() So the question remains what the hell they may have "improved" again with that latest version to cripple the HW-acceleration-functionality within Sandboxie?Īlso do you have any educated guess how much disabling HW-acceleration will cost performance-wise?Īnd since HW-acceleration DID WORK within Sandboxie up until now - how are the odds any minor adaptions could implement into Sandboxie would make HW-acceleration=on possible within Sandboxie again?Īddendum: Now that with HW-acceleration=off the browser will start sandboxed again I should point out that the first phenomenon described above still persists. It really did the trick! I wasn't even thinking of that - as until Opera v.80 all had worked well with HW-acceleration enabled.

Good thing we meanwhile have that "panic key" as this (terminating the process) for now seems the only way to close down that unresponsive window. To make things worse the advanced "Developer versions" opera v.81 (using Chromium engine v.95) and latest v.82 won't install sandboxed any longer either - but even when initially installed outside a sandbox first and running without problems outside - will later refuse to open within a sandbox.Īll I will get is a white screen, no sandboxie-error-msg, and after a few seconds a message in the header-bar saying "Loading. ![]() New production version v.80 (using Chromium engine v.94) will no longer install sandboxed, albeit when installed normally first (without forced-Sandbox-folder) can later be opened sandboxed as normal and will perform without issues.
