In recent years, mindfulness meditation has been shown to be a promising approach for alleviating emotional distress associated with chronic medical and psychiatric conditions and in reducing relapse following treatment for depression. The applicability of mindfulness meditation to problem gambling has not yet been explored. Mindfulness meditation may be particularly suitable for this clinical disorder as it stresses a process-oriented, metacognitive, approach to cognitive pathology in contrast to a content-focused approach, characteristic of traditional approaches to treating cognitive psychopathology. Gambling-related cognitive psychopathology is a well-known characteristic of problem gambling and frequently the target of therapy. Although there is growing evidence that cognitive-behavioral treatments are effective for gambling, outcomes may be improved by teaching gamblers additional ways to cope with cognitive distortions that emphasize metacognitive processes.

Nice quality Donna from New Egypt, NJ on 11/04/2014 – Verified Buyer
I bought this decal to go over the crib in my guest room (for when grandchildren visit). It is good quality and cute. Just be careful of the color you choose. My wall is beige and the Koala on the one I ordered is also beige so he blends into the wall color. I actally outlined the Koala in a darker brown with a permanent marker and it made it stand out more. Otherwise, it is a good quality decal and was easy to apply.

In the Interior Design & Decorating course you will learn the essential knowledge required to design and decorate a space in a balanced and informed way. If your goal is to set out and get started in a career in designing and decorating, or you simply want to create a beautiful home, then the one thing you need to do is to learn as much as you can. Interior design and decorating is like any other career - the more you learn about it the better.
In this online course you will study the techniques to plan a room and create a sense of space. This will include making informed suggestions on planning, furniture, colour and finishes. For instance, to create more space you might suggest built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors, or furniture which has a strong vertical line to create height. As an interior decorator you will also learn to recommend strong combinations of paint, wallpaper, floor coverings, and so on.
While you can channel and grow your skills and knowledge to specialise in interior design or interior decorating, you can also choose to work in both areas, as many people do. Regardless of which path you decide to take at the completion of your course, you will have the foundational knowledge of both these vital areas and how they contribute to creating beautiful spaces, whether it is for career or home.

Stardock Entertainment has just announced that Fallen Enchantress producer/designer Derek Paxton, who will take over as vice president of games development and production. Stardock CEO Brad Wardell will remain with the company, shifting his focus toward the software and business side of the operation. We had a chance to chat with Derek about his time in the industry so far, what kinds of changes
Sometimes a sequel wants to say more than the original ever could. Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, a new standalone expansion to the Stardock strategy game, puts you at the helm of a fantasy empire in a hostile world filled with flaming corpse monsters and wailing undead banshees.
You get the impression that Stardock are trying to bury the memory of much maligned 4X strategy Elemental: War of Magic - possibly while whistling a nonchalant tune, hoping we'll not notice the fresh patch of disturbed earth and the shovel in their hand. First there was Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - the standalone expansion that went a long way to fixing the ill will caused by its predecessor.
It's a little-known fact that CEOs love writing reports. The whole reason that many companies become publicly traded is so their CEOs can spend their time writing endless reports for shareholders. For Stardock boss Brad Wardell, this poses a problem: as the head of a private company, there's no-one to report to. Rather than forlornly wandering the corridors of Stardock HQ, bothering staff with
Stay on top of all the significant releases of the coming year.
Stardock have announced *deep breath* Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - Legendary Heroes, a standalone expansion to their standalone expansion. But while Fallen Enchantress was Stardock's mea culpa for the problems surrounding Elemental: War of Magic, Legendary Heroes promises to expand upon FE's solid foundation. It promises new maps, monsters and an enhanced levelling system.
This might be the first game I've ever been given as penance. It's a standalone expansion for the turn-based strategy game Elemental: War of Magic, which was released in such a shocking state of disrepair that Stardock decided to make this expansion free to everyone who bought the main game at launch. It's an extreme gesture, but the right one. Elemental: War of Magic was patched drastically and
Elemental's first expansion has been announced. It's called Fallen Enchantress, and is set to add new weapons, spells, magical equipment, creatures and lands to the game. The expansion is due to arrive in the next few months, and will be free to those who bought Elemental in 2010.

Characterization of a novel 23-kilodalton protein of inactive progesterone receptor complexes. Mol Cell Biol
ABSTRACT Immunoprecipitation of unactivated avian progesterone receptor results in the copurification of hsp90, hsp70, and three additional proteins, p54, p50, and p23. p23 is also present in immunoaffinity-purified hsp90 complexes along with hsp70 and another protein, p60. Antibody and cDNA probes for p23 were prepared in an effort to elucidate the significance and function of this protein. Antibodies to p23 detect similar levels of p23 in all tissues tested and cross-react with a protein of the same size in mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, humans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, indicating that p23 is a conserved protein of broad tissue distribution. These antibodies were used to screen a chicken brain cDNA library, resulting in the isolation of a 468-bp partial cDNA clone encoding a sequence containing four sequences corresponding to peptide fragments isolated from chicken p23. This partial clone was subsequently used to isolate a full-length human cDNA clone. The human cDNA encodes a protein of 160 amino acids that does not show homology to previously identified proteins. The chicken and human cDNAs are 88% identical at the DNA level and 96.3% identical at the protein level. p23 is a highly acidic phosphoprotein with an aspartic acid-rich carboxy-terminal domain. Bacterially overexpressed human p23 was used to raise several monoclonal antibodies to p23. These antibodies specifically immunoprecipitate p23 in complex with hsp90 in all tissues tested and can be used to immunoaffinity isolate progesterone receptor complexes from chicken oviduct cytosol.

- "These co-chaperones assist Hsp90 by modulating its ATPase cycle and by facilitating its interactions with various client/substrate proteins [8-10]. An extensively studied Hsp90 co-chaperone is p23 (known as Sba1 in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae) [11,12]. This ubiquitous acidic protein binds and stabilizes the ATP-bound dimeric form of Hsp90 [10,13,14], inhibits ATP hydrolysis and thereby traps Hsp90 in a state with high affinity for client proteins [15,16].

Article: Detection of changes in gene regulatory patterns, elicited by perturbations of the Hsp90 molecular chaperone complex, by visualizing multiple experiments with an animation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To make sense out of gene expression profiles, such analyses must be pushed beyond the mere listing of affected genes. For example, if a group of genes persistently display similar changes in expression levels under particular experimental conditions, and the proteins encoded by these genes interact and function in the same cellular compartments, this could be taken as very strong indicators for co-regulated protein complexes. One of the key requirements is having appropriate tools to detect such regulatory patterns. We have analyzed the global adaptations in gene expression patterns in the budding yeast when the Hsp90 molecular chaperone complex is perturbed either pharmacologically or genetically. We integrated these results with publicly accessible expression, protein-protein interaction and intracellular localization data. But most importantly, all experimental conditions were simultaneously and dynamically visualized with an animation. This critically facilitated the detection of patterns of gene expression changes that suggested underlying regulatory networks that a standard analysis by pairwise comparison and clustering could not have revealed. The results of the animation-assisted detection of changes in gene regulatory patterns make predictions about the potential roles of Hsp90 and its co-chaperone p23 in regulating whole sets of genes. The simultaneous dynamic visualization of microarray experiments, represented in networks built by integrating one's own experimental with publicly accessible data, represents a powerful discovery tool that allows the generation of new interpretations and hypotheses.BioData Mining 06/2011; 4(1):15.

Article: The small heat shock protein 20 RSI2 interacts with and is required for stability and function of tomato resistance protein I-2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Race-specific disease resistance in plants depends on the presence of resistance (R) genes. Most R genes encode NB-ARC-LRR proteins that carry a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR). Of the few proteins found to interact with the LRR domain, most have proposed (co)chaperone activity. Here, we report the identification of RSI2 (Required for Stability of I-2) as a protein that interacts with the LRR domain of the tomato R protein I-2. RSI2 belongs to the family of small heat shock proteins (sHSPs or HSP20s). HSP20s are ATP-independent chaperones that form oligomeric complexes with client proteins to prevent unfolding and subsequent aggregation. Silencing of RSI2-related HSP20s in Nicotiana benthamiana compromised the hypersensitive response that is normally induced by auto-active variants of I-2 and Mi-1, a second tomato R protein. As many HSP20s have chaperone properties, the involvement of RSI2 and other R protein (co)chaperones in I-2 and Mi-1 protein stability was examined. RSI2 silencing compromised the accumulation of full-length I-2 in planta, but did not affect Mi-1 levels. Silencing of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and SGT1 led to an almost complete loss of full-length I-2 accumulation and a reduction in Mi-1 protein levels. In contrast to SGT1 and HSP90, RSI2 silencing led to accumulation of I-2 breakdown products. This difference suggests that RSI2 and HSP90/SGT1 chaperone the I-2 protein using different molecular mechanisms. We conclude that I-2 protein function requires RSI2, either through direct interaction with, and stabilization of I-2 protein or by affecting signalling components involved in initiation of the hypersensitive response.The Plant Journal 05/2010; 63(4):563-72.

- "Hsp90 is required for the activation and stabilization of several signaling proteins, referred to as client proteins of Hsp90. The acidic 23-kDa protein p23 was first identified as a component of the progesterone receptor (PR)–Hsp90 complex (Johnson et al. 1994). Since then, it has come to be widely recognized as a co-chaperone of Hsp90 (Felts and Toft 2003; Pratt and Toft 2003), possessing also passive chaperoning activity itself (Bose et al. 1996) as well as a reported prostaglandin synthase activity (Tanioka et al. 2000). "
ABSTRACT: The small acidic protein p23 is best described as a co-chaperone of Hsp90, an essential molecular chaperone in eukaryotes. p23 binds to the ATP-bound form of Hsp90 and stabilizes the Hsp90-client protein complex by slowing down ATP turnover. The stabilizing activity of p23 was first characterized in studies of steroid receptor-Hsp90 complexes. Earlier studies of the Hsp90 chaperone complex in plants suggested that a p23-like stabilizing activity was absent in plant cell lysates. Here, we show that p23-like proteins are present in plants and are capable of binding Hsp90, but unlike human p23 and yeast ortholog Sba1, the plant p23-like proteins do not stabilize the steroid receptor-Hsp90 complexes formed in wheat germ lysate. Furthermore, these proteins do not inhibit the ATPase activity of plant Hsp90. While transcripts of Arabidopsis thaliana p23-1 and Atp23-2 were detected under normal growing conditions, those of the closely related Brassica napus p23-1 were present only after moderate heat stress. These observations suggest that p23-like proteins in plants are conserved in their binding to Hsp90 but have evolved mechanisms of action different from their yeast and animal counterparts.Cell Stress and Chaperones 03/2010; 15(5):703-15.

I have been working at Avis Budget Group full-time (More than 3 years)
The people you work with and the people you assist in the check in area are friendly and diverse. The environment helps to make everyday a good work day. This is not a good location if you want to work outdoors: in the rain, snow or beating sun. You work inside a garage which is comfortable most of the year.
Must bring lunch to work, as breaks are short. Sometimes finding time to take a break is a challenge, depending on your shift. Your schedule tends to change on every shift bid, which happens sometimes 3-4 times per year.
Advice to Management
Stand by what you say. Treat your staff the way you would like to be treated.

This is a discussion on Preference of Recoil within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Do you prefer a firearm to recoil in a snapping motion or more of a pushing motion?...
Pushing-usually associated with heavier gr. bullet weights
Snapping-usually associated with lighter or +p bullets
Do you prefer a firearm to recoil in a snapping motion or more of a pushing motion?
I just got back from the range. I own 2 G26 (9mm). I rented a G30 (45ACP). I don't know if its the fact that I have shot 9mm for a long time, but I prefer the snapping action of the 9mm over the 45 ACP. I found it much harder to get back on target on follow up shots with the G30.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything
Wyatt Earp

Depends somewhat on the cal - and can't say I notice too much difference with 9mm bullet weights, and have stuck to 124's for ages. 9mm too is somewhat snappy anyways altho mild.
When it comes to .45acp I feel more difference and vote ''push'' - per a 230 grainer.
Perhaps most obvious perceived difference is with light snubs where a 110 perhaps vs a 140 or even 158 will IMO have a very different feel - and again I'll vote push with larger bullet. All that said - it is really not that huge of a difference in smaller guns.
Now - maybe Bud can compare his X500 with 700 grainers - vs something ''light'' like a 400 grain or so!!!

Both are refreshing. I'd like to say that I enjoy the push feeling, but I always end up shooting snappy recoiled guns with great results... Go figure :)
Beretta 92FS
Thats easy chris rather shoot the 700 its a PUSH the 440 is very snappy and hurts the wrists
Pushing. High frequency recoil ends up making my elbow ache. The .40, 10mm and the .357 Sig snap and tend to make me favor the 9mm and .45.

Pushing - easier to get follow-up shots on target.

Whatever doesn't kill you postpones the inevitable.
Push, that's why with the right loads I prefer 44 spl and 45 acp over 357 Mag.
A person is justified in the use of deadly force, if such person reasonably believes deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to such person or a third person.
Looks like the vote was a ''push-over''

South Central Library System is presenting awards for library greatness.
Super Awesome Library Award-- For the library that was overall awesome in 2015. Maybe they handled a tough situation with grace. Or took a new approach. Or found a lot of money under a rock and did something really cool with it. Or got a lot of local support and kudos because they play well with others. Or are just plain super awesome every day.
Program Wizard Award-- For a super creative, innovative and fun library program created by library staff. In the library or out. For babies or seniors or anyone in between. A one-off or a regular series. If Dumbledore thinks it's worthy of Wizard status, nominate it!
Giddy Up Partner Award-- For those strong community partnerships that add value to the library and the community as a whole. It takes two, baby! Or three... or four. Nominate the library and its partner(s) and describe the amazing stuff they're doing together.
All nominations are due by October 26, 2015 by 5p.m.

In the Middle of the North American Tour
The show was not altered in any way for the much larger venues. The lighting people don't know what to do with this show, and clearly have not been informed in any way. It is surprising just how much the lighting and effects are critical to the show. It is more curious how minutes of the official show pass with the girls standing around drinking water. The performances are mostly synchronised, "lip sync" to most of you, which may be a culture-based error. The girls are far less curious about the continent they are visiting than one might suspect. They are spending their days sitting around far better hotels than I would have imagined and are getting stir crazy. Once back home, they may never complain of the usual manic schedule ever again.
The show includes their Christmas song, without which the show would be four-minutes short. My solution would have been to produce and introduce a cover of a well known hit following the usual rules for such things, but this may be more trouble than it is worth. Doing a Christmas song out of season is perceived as a "wacky Asian" thing and enhances the weird-and-cute appeal.
Although my assumption may be in error, it appears this golden opportunity to generate original video content for the internet is largely being missed. Presumably the group is using their pads to, at least, entertain themselves and this has produced viable product in the past. Their usual cinematographer is meeting up with them when they arrive in Las Vegas and will journey with them to Los Angeles, these being the final two cities on the tour.
The stir crazy is leading to some charming and original content. They have pads and are said to be keeping non-public diaries. One of the group is exploiting an Instagram account started in April. Another is posting to their formal fan forum unfiltered but very gracious. The other three are posting through the filtered, official Twitter or Facebook accounts. Presumably the issue here is security rather than the potential for obscenity.
This tour has received exactly zero coverage in American media. No curiosity. No mention, outside of merely listing the billing of the concert tour itself. I shall repeat, whoever is handling the publicity for this unique opportunity may never work again.
The reception in Milwaukee was especially bad, as I have noted. They flew into Philadelphia to meet up with their silver eagle. This was a welcome surprise to this observer who honestly assumed their people would have them "jamming Econo" just like back home in spite of the distance issues. Atlantic City seemed to have a high proportion of people in the audience who knew who they were, or who were otherwise welcoming. They visited what may be the only Korean restaurant in that city and were very polite.
The next stop was Boston. I anticipated a blood bath. If you don't know, Boston crowds are notoriously brutal under the best of circumstances. Boston crowds are prone to reflexive, racist sentiment of a kind that would make the stereotypical Alabamian blush. Contrary to expectations the Boston crowd was enthusiastic, and post show Twits were largely positive. The most harsh critique coming from those who dislike that they are obviously lip synching.
One of the members posted that she was surprised to learn of a part of North America where French is the predominant language. This serves primarily to remind your correspondent how little he knows about Korea. Their warmest welcome so far was in Montreal. From what footage has been made available, the lighting guys are working out what to do even in the absence of anything but improvisation. Montreal was also the site of something, so far, unique on the tour. Three fans succeeded in finding the path from the venue out into the world of the tour-support vehicles and flagged them down. It was helpful that one of them was wearing a common fan costume and they were carrying a banner of support.
This story has been related by two of these fans, and also relayed by the member on the official fan forum who claims to have spotted them then had trouble remembering how to communicate "Stop the bus!" in English to their driver.
Although the tour continues, for reasons which are unclear, this group is not part of several dates and is taking an apparently unwelcome five-day break. I know which city they are were in as of yesterday, and suspect I know which hotel but it seems like a security breach to say anything. They are roaming at least part of the city largely unmolested, and have not at all so much as mentioned the potential of being approached by fans or having much contact with an adoring public. Then again, even at home they are curiously unrecognizable in civilian drag. Media stories have been written noting the absence of attention they receive when not at an event. Two of the members are presently enrolled in University and no one ever so much as says anything.
Upcoming: Buffalo, Toronto, Chicago then off to Texas. The cameras should be rolling on the stretch between Chicago and San Antonio. They have 43 hours between shows and at least 20 of those they will need to be moving, unless sense prevails again and they fly.
If they don't fly, they will actually pass within 150 m of my home. I feel like I should do something about it.
North American Tour
I am paying rapt attention to a pop-culture phenomenon, which I am not prone to doing. When they are safely home, I will add proper nouns to this. Some of you who know me in life, or whatever, know who I am talking about anyway.
Our story so far. In January the organization behind a major American artist approached a relatively obscure Korean girl group to become that performer's opening act for North American dates this Summer. They could only commit to a month of touring, but even so these 13 dates are the largest tour ever for a Korean performer of any kind in North America.
The company behind this group has been formed around their relative success. It is tiny, consisting of four acts two of which have launched within the last two months. Since the announcement in March of this tour I've been waiting for some kind of media push in the US. Anything. I'm still waiting. They didn't hire a US-based publicist, or if they did I hope this person never works again, or assumed their mere association with the American performer would do something that doesn't actually happen here. This is malpractice. With just a meager push the idea that this group you never heard of who dress up kind of like superheros from a country adult Americans don't know have a whole pop-culture universe to themselves is going on an unprecedented tour should get some kind of traction.
The selection was made on the basis of a single video clip. They will be doing a 30-minute show. This "girl group" has a NA fanbase, of which I am obviously a part. I've spent part of the last couple of months trying to estimate the number of fans they have over here. So many factors go into this, I shall not bore you with the details. On the assumption that 1% of any fandom is passionate enough to play a notable role in their internet support community, and the communities for this group are so intimate their existence alone serves as a invitation to the less passionate, a generous estimation would be 2500-5000 fans in the US. No more than 100K have so much as heard of them beyond the group's name. You can't tour on that. They played at a kpop event in Los Angeles in May. In front of that friendly audience response was tepid. Clearly even that audience didn't know who they were and was not compelled by their unconventional antics.
Their "company" is letting their tiny, personally funded US fanbase attempt to do the heavy lifting. That's not how it works, at least over here.
As this goes to post they arrive in Milwaukee, their first foray into the US beyond Los Angeles, to begin the tour. They will be on stage within six hours following a 22-hour transit including clearing customs and otherwise sitting around for five hours in Chicago. During shows and avails in Korea over the last two weeks the group looks like they've been through hell. God knows what The Company has been putting them through due to their perverse notions of whatever might happen in the US. A major American talk show has featured one of their songs on a segment which might provide some leeway to at least getting on TV. Bupkis.
Meanwhile the publicity has been handled so poorly. The sponsoring performer's organization is all but publicly regretting the whole thing. Somehow The Company acquired an e-mail list and sent out an especially vague message written by someone whose first language isn't English (they have US-educated people on the payroll, so there was no excuse for this) to night clubs in the US soon after the announcement of the group joining the tour. Presumably with the interest of getting additional dates. The name of the group was not mentioned. There was no response. The group which follows them on the next leg of the same tour has already announced additional dates.
I have more angrystan-like posts pending. When I attempt to write seriously these days it just all come out as so much redundant goop. Among these posts is the last-ever Hamburger Diary, with the principle behind ending the series. I have views on geopolitics and so forth I just want to get out into the world.
For the next four weeks how these five women are getting hurt, personally and professionally, by their naive management will be a fixation, and you will be seeing it here.
The defunct house brands of Winn-Dixie
I am a passionate fan of the Pleasant Family Shopping blog. On the author's Facebook presence, he posted a photograph of a Kwik Chek supermarket, a division of Winn-Dixie which somehow inspired your correspondent to look into the retired brands of Winn-Dixie. Between 2000 and 2010 Winn-Dixie commenced a period of reorganization, and emerged a much smaller and presumably leaner company. Among their reassessments during this time was the abandoning of several trade names which have much equity with natives of their service areas in the twentieth century which includes your correspondent's native Louisville, Kentucky.
My most recent visit to a Winn-Dixie store was in 1998. The store was on Highway 6 near Waco, Texas. I stopped by in lieu of fast food for lunch primarily because I had not visited a WD store in four years at that time. The brands mentioned below are all considered abandoned by Trademarkia. I have sought no further confirmation.
Superbrand and Thrifty Maid could be adopted as the bottom two tiers of any retailers house brand offerings. Superbrand could be a cheeky all-purpose generic brand, like Target's Up & Up or Kroger's FMV. Thrifty Maid seems a natural for any household products, cleaners, cleaning gear or any kind of packaged food, canned or frozen.
I also like Velva, originally butter. No idea what it could be used for. Toilet tissue? Tires? The name suggests softness, smoothness or relaxation. It could be used for a brand of mattresses or blankets.
I have mixed feelings about Deep South, Crackin' Good and Dixie Darling. (at the end peanut butter, prepack cookies & crackers, and prepack baked goods respectively) Superficially, the brands retain equity among people from Winn-Dixie's core markets but would almost certainly raise suspicions of some kind of white-hegemonic intentions. Cookies & crackers are a concentrating market for reasons which are not clear to me. In this market bad times meant volume sales for established brands, good times meant an expansion of varieties and both are retreating. Prepack baked goods seem to be similarly consolidating around a limited number of brands, with fewer and fewer varieties appearing at my local groceries.
I somehow picture Dixie Darling being reintroduced as a semi-premium brand of baked goods, not unlike Entenmann's. The image would be based on art and logotypes of the era before 1920, but with a reminder that the New South is inclusionary. In ads and other promotion focusing on a modern multi-lingual, multi-cultural accurately modern South with a reminder of English, Spanish, French Creole, Mandarin, Vietnamese and Korean speakers enjoying the bounty of the South following a noble day's effort. Dixie Darling could be "the very best of Southern traditions" implying hospitality. That is, instead of avoiding manufactured controversy, tackle it with an accurate contemporary image.
Someone should probably find a context to do that anyway. One of those outfits that recycles old brands could jump on these, and if there has been no interest whatsoever that is tantamount to malpractice.
Stan's Vegan Pasta Casserole v 3.0
This is the third variant of this I am posting.
This is based on Soul Vegetarian's Vegan Mac and Cheese. It is a filling, hearty dish which may be served alone or as a side.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C.
1 qt. or 1 l unadulterated, no sugar or additional flavorings, soy milk Your regional soy-milk company's product is preferred over the ubiquitous Silk, but get what you can. Fewer ingredients is always better.
1½ cups "vegetable oil", typically soy, corn, canola or a blend. Any oil with a high smoke point depending upon what's in the kitchen or how much you are willing to pay.
2-3 Tbsp crushed, grated or granulated garlic or 1½ Tbsp garlic powder (I almost always use powder and add it to the dry ingredients below. It's just trivial to handle.)
13.25-16 oz whole-wheat macaroni or any other short pasta (a box). If buying bulk get the full pound.
(optional but recommended) 8-10 oz. package of sliced white-button or portabella mushrooms
(more so optional, consider marinating the mushrooms in soy sauce or leftover red wine, but drain well)
Dry ingredients: place these ingredients together in a bowl.
1 Tbsp each dry mustard ("hot Chinese" strongly preferred) , paprika, sea salt, (optional chili powder, chipotle powder, black or white pepper)
1½ Tbsp Cumin
½ Tbsp Ginger
2 cups nutritional yeast
While blending the sauce, prepare your pasta. Eight minute boil, then cooled under a tap or sprayer.
Slop the soy milk into a blender, food processor or into a large bowl and whisk. On medium speed add the oil through the blender or processor lid. If using proper garlic, add now which will mince further and flavor the sauce well.
While still spinning, place a funnel into the top of the appliance and spoon your dry ingredients into the soy and oil. You want a very thorough blend. Let it spin after the dry ingredients are in for an extra minute or two. This mixture will look more orange than you think it should. It will also be bubbly or well aerated. This is ideal.
Place the prepared pasta in an oiled 9×12 pan. Pour in your slurry and distribute well by hand. The first thing you will note is that it just doesn't seem like enough macaroni. That's okay.
If using mushrooms, simply pour and distribute over the top.
Optional: Sprinkle with parsley flake, garlic powder, garlic salt or black pepper. Parsley flake is strongly recommended.
This stores well for up to 24 hours refrigerated and uncovered, but is ready to bake immediately. If kept cold, move directly from the 'fridge to a pre-heated oven.
Turn down the oven to 350 F or 180 C and bake for 1 hour. After baking it should settle for at least 15 minutes. It will keep warm after baking for up to two hours.
Selecting vape gear for maximum visual impact
In the event you are advocating vaping, especially as an alternative to cigarettes, as a public presence or simply wish to be conspicuously vaping in a public place, noticeable gear is essential. The following are recommendations for people in, say, public performance who wish to vape and be seen doing so.
As always, my focus is on cost. This list pulls exclusively from the inventory of the curiously named Fasttech.com. The down side of ordering from any vendor in China if you are in North America is the extremely long shipping times. Anticipate a shipping time of not less than a month. Six weeks between placing the order and its arrival is quite common. However you will part with roughly 20% of the USD for equivalent, sometimes identical, gear from any domestic vendor. Prices listed on Fasttech are retail prices which include shipping anywhere in the world. Fasttech denominates exclusively in US dollars.
The inquiry which prompted this post asked about providing a noticeable pink electronic cigarette or personal vaporizer solution. The links provided will be to pink or fuchsia variations, although other colors including silver and black are typically available. Some discussion will occur about accessories which make all of this stuff work with the rest of your vaping gear.
This purchase will include a "mod" or battery container, tips on selecting batteries, a battery charger, tanks which affix to the mod and the somewhat misnamed "drip tips" or the bit you suck on. Each are selected for a compromise of cost and visual impact. I repeat: The focus of this article is to provide items in the color pink, but other colors are available.
Batteries and the charger are generic, flexible items which are not distinctive to Chinese vendors. Rules exist for the shipping of batteries to external non-commercial destinations from China, and a domestic vendor might have a more favorable price. The style of batteries under consideration are available in versions that shut down under extreme conditions, or are "protected", and those that do not and depend upon the circuitry of the device to shut down During extreme conditions.
In lieu of a common eGo battery, use a mod. Often these are 150% the size of an eGo battery or more. Correspondingly, these store more energy and need not be charged as often. Items which have integrated batteries are available. The following options all require separate batteries which must be charged outside the device in a device designed for this purpose. Well regarded, popular items in this category include:
- A clone of The Bolt for $13 which requires a single, protected 18650 battery. It features a 510 connection only. The original article costs $40.
- A look-alike of the JM22 mod for $13 which requires a single, protected 18650 battery. It features a 510 connection only. The original article is a super-premium hand-built device which costs around $200.
- An authentic Vamo V2 "advanced personal vaporizer" which requires either a single unprotected 18650, a single unprotected 18500, or single or dual unprotected 18350 batteries. It features an eGo connection with a collar for attractive 510 connections. It costs just over $25, but is a variable voltage and variable wattage device. The V2 includes a resistance meter. It is the lowest priced VV-VW device on the market, but retains reasonable quality. The Vamo line now extends to the V5, three generations newer. Overall utility has not been effected. Later generations are not available in multiple colors. The Vamo V2 typically retails for around $50.
- An authentic SmokTech SID another VV-VW device which requires a single, unprotected 18650 battery. It features an eGo connection with a collar for attractive 510 connections. $37. The list price of the SID is $49.99.
In the event you purchase an above device which uses only a 510 connection, I very strongly recommend a 510-to-eGo adapter so it is compatible with the rest of your vape gear, especially clearomizers. This adapter is invisible in use.
Purchase batteries of a name brand you recognize, Sanyo, Samsung, Panasonic, &c. Purchase the appropriate protection or lack for the device you intend to power. These batteries are useless without a charger. Your correspondent is no expert in this area. The Nitecore Smart chargers are consistently recommended and sadly not available in novel colors. The link is to the same store, but you may wish to shop around. The use of two 18350 batteries in the Vamo V2 is a recommended configuration by the manufacturer, and is best for extremely long usage, low-ohm or sub-ohm operation.
Yes, Virginia there are pink atomizers. Even collars or "beauty rings" are available in pink to make the most of your vaporizer's appearance when using a 510 device with an eGo connection. Any of these costs around $10. Units which merely have colored reservoirs are not included as juice typically distorts the color.
- RG280 uses Protank or Evod heads. Features an eGo connection. Uses a 510-style drip tip. Available in pink and fuchsia. This is a glassomizer. The reservoir is glass and not plastic.
- RG500 is a variation on the RG280 with a larger juice reservoir. Features a 510-connection instead.
- K2 bottom-coil uses Evod heads. Features a 510 connection. Uses a 510-style drip tip.
- Vivi Nova in pink and fuchsia. Uses Vivi Nova heads. Features a 510 connection. Uses a 510-style drip tip.
- Evod. Uses Evod heads. Features an eGo connection.
- Innokin iClear 16B is a variation on the now classic starter clearomizer which is available with a pink-and-white metal sleeve called Petals, and a solid pink sleeve. Features an eGo connection. Uses a CE4 drip tip. An adapter is available to allow the iClear 16 series use 510 drip tips.
Be certain to pick up a supply of heads or wicks for your new atomizer. Remember, you may need beauty rings to use these with your mundane eGo batteries. A conventionally chromed atomizer would work well in this application, but those are common.
You have the right battery. You have the right tank. You may even have a beauty ring connecting the two in just the right color. Now the drip tips. Because this is so subjective I shall merely link these by shade. A very few of these are for the Kanger T2 and are not the 510 type.
The bent aluminum, two-inch high models would stand out especially.
If I were shopping for you, you would get The Bolt, because you don't have to mess with it, and an RG500 simply for the size. This configuration would be topped with a 70 mm or 2 and 3/4 inch long drip tip. That's $25 for the e-cig and budget another $25 for batteries and charger. Step up to the Vamo V2 for a total of $62.
How I do the vape, an advisory guide
I have been called upon to describe my method for acquiring vapor supplies. In person this has not proved successful. Cartridge-based systems will not be discussed. The starter kits available at the big-box stores are cartridge-based systems and are, largely a mere gateway to "hobbyist" vaping, the subject of the guide. If you are starting out, skip the purchase of a big-box store vaping kit and go directly to the hobbyist-level gear.
The essential bits of an electronic cigarette are
A battery:
- Sometimes a "mod" which is a flashlight battery or two within a case. Many batteries are available which allow the user to adjust voltage or wattage with the objective of effecting the flavor and vapor temperature.
- The most common batteries are stand-alone eGo batteries; eGo being a trade name for a specific battery connection. After the eGo, a 510 is quite popular and is the default connection on a "mod", although eGo-compliant mods are common. The eGo is an evolution of the 510 connection, and 510 devices connect readily to eGo batteries and mods.
- You may use a "passthrough" in place of a stand-alone battery which allows you to plug into the wall or a USB outlet. A few batteries are available which allow you to use them, while plugged in, as a passthrough.
An atomizer to utilize the battery's electricity to make the juice into vapor. Among these you find:
- Simple atomizers whose use is sufficiently advanced it reaches beyond the scope of this guide. Different types of atomizers are available which function with electronic-cigarette components for the use of dry material, especially botanical matter, which is also beyond the scope of this guide.
- Cartomizers which have a modest reservoir of juice ( .25 ml to 1 ml) stored within wicking material, and are often used with "tanks" which wrap the cartomizer to extend usage. This style of juice vaporization is popular and common.
- Clearomizers which are the atomizer and a reservoir in a solitary, readily removable unit. This unit includes a wick, sometimes "coil head" which is immersed in juice and eventually wears out. The word tank is occasionally used to refer to large (<2.0 ml) clearomizers. In smaller less expert-driven brick-and-mortar shops any device which sits on a battery and makes vapor is a tank. Glassomisers are clearomisers, typically larger capacity ones, with reservoirs made of Pyrex glass and are substantially more expensive but resistant to higher acidity juices.
Starting out you will almost certainly be handed an eGo-style battery and a clearomizer. Rebuildable atomizers, conventional cartomizers, and cartomizer tanks are beyond the scope of this guide.
As the Kanger T2 and its clones appear to be phasing out, your options for starting out are Vivi Nova, CE4 which includes the Innokin iClear 16 and iClear 30 although the wicks are different among these, and Evod among "clearos". If you are purchasing a starter kit, take what they give you. These three are so functionally similar one need not worry too much about it. The Vivi Nova is a 510 connection and typically your setup will be supplied with a "beauty ring" or collar to complete the eGo connection. Each of these is distinct and uses distinct service parts. If you are starting from scratch, be sure to buy a packet of replacement wicks and know which wicks your device uses.
Invariably you will start with a humble eGo battery, ideally two. These may be charged ca. 400 times and need not be empty before charging. They use a similar, although less dense, kind of battery system as found in mobile phones. eGo batteries are available as variable voltage models and, although more expensive, these should not be explicitly avoided.
An electronic cigarette requires servicing. Batteries must be charged through a wall wart or USB connection. Wicks or coil heads, the terms are interchangeable, must be occasionally replaced. You will find dozens of videos on Youtube with explicit instructions on maintaining your electronic cigarette. Some folks occasionally rinse their clearos and such in vodka or similar alcohol solution. This is optional.
When driving an extended distance, the preferred method is to insert a USB converter into the outlet on your vehicle we once called a cigarette lighter. Connect this, through the USB cable, to a fully-charged battery designed to be used as a passthrough. Atop your battery mount a particularly large clearomizer which is full. Do not even think of attempting to fill a clearomizer or similar device while the vehicle is in motion. The USB connection and disconnection should be made while the vehicle is parked and switched off. Between major metropolitan areas vape juice may not be available. You should carry your own supply. Never, ever, not ever so much as consider charging an unprotected battery, such as an eGo with an automobile electrical connection. The unstable electrical supply can and has caused explosions within operating cars.
I acquire my service parts, accessories and batteries from the internet. Largely from Fasttech.com. They have far and away the best prices on this kind of thing. All of my four surviving clearos, and my two surviving batteries come from Fasttech. As I type more are on the way. The local brick-and-mortar store is very convenient. An iClear 16 at that shop is nine dollars, but three dollars on Fasttech. Wicks and such are similar. When buying higher-end items, such as mods, variable devices and so forth it is worth the trouble to look elsewhere. Although Fasttech may have the best price this should not be assumed. Fasttech takes between three and six weeks to deliver items to North American addresses from their warehouses in China.
I spend roughly $38 per month and am a very heavy user, although nothing compared to how much nicotine I consumed while smoking.
All of my juice comes from two vendors. I do not bother with exotic, high-end vape juice. The two vendors I adore are Minnesota's Vista Vapors and Washington state's Mt. Baker Vapor. I have placed a few orders with both and they are never more than five days away. Their prices on juice are the best around, as this is their specialty which they do in very high volumes. The selection of flavors is nothing less than intimidating. However, for the most part these juices need to steep, or just sit around with the cap off ideally in a darkened place, for about a month. This is also true of some of the allegedly nicer vape juice I have conveniently purchased just up the street. Their juices are roughly one-third the price per ml than established brands like Johnson Creek, and a quarter of what you pay for custom mixing at the B&M. These shops have very consistent sales, and I tend to stock up at those times. Six 50 ml bottles can run $50-$60 even on sale, but this is roughly equivalent to 18 cartons of cigarettes.
My only nicer items are an Innokin iClear30S dual-coil, high-volume clearomizer and an Innokin iTazte VV 3.0 variable-wattage, passthrough battery. If I run out of anything, I can always run up the street but I tend to keep an eye on it. I remain a big fan of the Innokin iClear16. My present flavor inventory includes black currant, butterscotch, cinnamon roll, clove, coffee, cream tea, dk-tab a classic tobacco vape, dulce de leche, green tea, "professor pepper", "red cream soda", root beer, RY4 an evolution of the original e-cig flavor essentially caramel and vanilla with a hint of capsicum, my favorite teaberry, vanilla and 555 an old, dark British tobacco. I am considering my first proper "mod" but am intimidated by choice.
