The number of Android tablets set to appear this year is growing all the time. We all know about the big name brands preparing their competitors to the iPad, but there's also a number of very cheap Chinese tablets ready to hit the market.
The problem such devices have is that the prices are about as low as they can get while retaining some tiny profit margin. So how do you choose one over the other? The Newpad DNT P702 tablet has gone for a novel approach by simply adding a second headphone jack.
In doing so Newpad feels this makes the tablet ideal for couples and is "a very romantic thing." While we wouldn't go that far, the inclusion of a second jack is a good idea. If you are wathcing a movie while travelling with a partner it means you don't need an adaptor for you both to listen. The same is true of listening to music. It also offers up a number of marketing opportunities other tablets can't really use.
The spec of the Newpad tablet is not anything to get excited about. It has an overclocked TCC8902 processor running at 1GHz (overclocked from 720MHz), 256MB RAM, 800×480 resistive touchscreen, and runs Android 2.2. With a price of around $140 you can't complain much. While you won't want to play games on it, or run any apps that need a lot of touch interaction, it's still going to be good enough as a movie player, web browser, or music device.

Aug. 3, 1935-Feb. 8, 2010
Ruth Bailey Ward passed away Monday at her home.
Graveside services will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. in Ward Family Cemetery (Bear Grass), 9831 Hwy. 17 in Williamston, with the Rev. Gary Bailey and Dolan Baker officiating.
Ruth Hazel was born on the family farm in Martin County to the late Ophus Bailey and Fessie Whitehurst Bailey.
Ruth joined Rose of Sharon Free Will Baptist Church in Bear Grass at the age of 12 and later became a member of Madison Avenue Baptist Church in Goldsboro.
Ruth was a graduate of Bear Grass High School and East Carolina Teachers College.
Following a brief career in Wayne County Schools, she was employed with State Farm agents, Greg Foster and Steve Price, retiring in 2002.
Ruth later volunteered for 10 years in the I.C.U. department of Wayne Memorial Hospital.
Ruth will be remembered as a devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend to so many. She cherished her children and grandchildren and was so proud of each one.
Ruth greatly enjoyed her friends. She never met a stranger and touched so many with her warm and friendly ways.
Ruth enjoyed spending time at the farm, and with fondest memories, her time in Emerald Isle with family and friends. God blessed her with two different worlds, the farm and the beach.
She is survived by her three sons, Larry Ward and wife, Brenda, of Bear Grass, Lyn and wife, Ashley, of Mebane, and Bailey Ward of Bear Grass; her grandchildren, Lane, Savannah and Olivia; her brother, Maehue Bailey; her nephew, the Rev. Gary Bailey and wife, Kristie; and her niece, Beverly Rogerson and husband, Glenn.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 34 years, Ben A. Ward.
Flowers are welcome or memorials may be made to Rose of Sharon Free Will Baptist Church, 8000 Bear Grass Road, Robersonville, N.C., 27871.
The family will receive friends tonight from 6 to 8 at Seymour Funeral Home.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.seymourfuneralhome.com.

Another P112C question w/ snapshot. HELP

Join Date: Sep 2011
Location: Lubbock/Mission Texas
iTrader: (
Well I've never had a problem with the cars I've had, saab or bmw. But my parents have had this issue before with their lexus es. There were two different issues. The first one was when my dad was overfilling the gas tank, he does this thing where he likes to make the total be 42.42, or 51.51, etc. (not sure if it's ocd or if he does it for "security" reasons) Well overfilling it past the point of where the gas pump clicks would give him a check engine light, it took a while for him to figure out what was happening because of depending on the total he would only have to add a little bit of gas, or if he overshot it up to $3's too much. After a while the car would go back to normal.
Other times though though it would have a rough idle if he would put local style gas on road trips. I'm sure someone will chime in and say it all comes from the same place, and it probably does. But I like to go to newer style gas stations with a lot of traffic when I can't find a shell. He just puts whatever in it, lowest grade. But the car did not like the bad gas from those places.
The car is a tank though, 2001 es300 170k miles on it, no maintenance whatsoever, except for oil changes, air filter (like twice), brakes and tires. Lol no coolant change, brake fluid, tranny oil etc. It has had zero problems lol... Like zero it has never gone in for service ever. The car drives like a boat though, super floaty and the worst steering feel I've ever felt. Lol the rear suspension rattles but they don't wanna put anything in to it since they are going to trade it in. I'm trying to convince them to get either an X1 or a 328i.
I'm not a mechanic or anything, but I would say start small get some new premium gas from a nice place land dump some techron in. Oh and maybe clean your maf?
The real smarties on here are gonna want some more info, like the mileage of your car, transmission, spark plug history, etc. So it would probably help if you added that.
Hopefully it's something minor I'm sure all the guru's will chime in once they wake up.
Sorry about the rant haha, too tired to proofread it so sorry if I sound crazy

The French forward's future at Goodison Park has come under speculation of late with the club understood to be unhappy with his demands for a new three-year deal worth £60,000-a-week.
Despite him being David Moyes' top scorer this season, the Mail reports that Everton have been trying to negotiate a shorter deal with bonus payments.
Wenger's interest comes as reports that he is in the market for a new striker gather pace amid an ever-growing injury list at Arsenal. And the French manager was full of praise for Saha when asked who he believed France should play up front at the World Cup 2010.
"When Saha plays 10 games on the trot you can compare him with any striker," he said. "There is a bit of congestion up there because you have two new comers like Gignac and Benzema, you have still Anelka and Henry who will be at the World Cup [but] he has a chance of making the squad."
Also reported to be on Wenger's transfer wish-list are West Ham's Carlton Cole and Toulouse's Andre-Pierre Gignac.

Here is a quote from Robert Steele's book ELECTION 2008: Lipstick on The Pig. It expresses perfectly what is still happening today.
The people who are cheated are the citizens who trusted the banks with their savings. It is better to have the criminal banks crash, because only that will provoke a serious reform. I hope we are getting closer to the time when citizens will rise up and get violent. It is very healthy for governments and politicians (and bankers) to get their asses kicked, to be put in the tumbril and sent to the guillotine. This must be done every several generations to keep them afraid, because nothing on earth will keep them honest except fear. The Bush regime postponed the guillotine by mis‐directing the fear of citizens toward Muslims, and avoided a quick military coup at home by sending most soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan where they are no danger to Washington. I may have put this very simply, but there are times when things need to be put simply.
Simply put. When people fear the government, you have tyranny. When government fears the people, you have liberty. As for me, give liberty or give me death.
Who among you feels they have been well served by the government and their banker friends?
"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."

I dont fear revolution, i fear the government that will be in place afterwards.
I agree a revolution is in order, especially in the US, but my big worry is that the system that will replace the current democracy will be much worse. We simply have to look at the posts here to understand. Everyone wants a revolution, but no one is offering up advice on what should be done once its accomplished.
I will not follow the revolution until solid ideas are presented for what will be done after.

Waste of time trying to reboot the government. In no time it'd be corrupted again because that's what men fall to. Greed, avarice, lust for sex, power and riches. That is what drives this world. Man cannot be happy with what he has, he has to always be taking it from someone else so he can have more and in abundance. I don't want this world and i damn sure do not want to raise any kids in it. I just want to go home.

The act of restraining your partner by cuddling to prevent them initiating sexual intercourse during sleep. Passive female equivalent of the cock-block.
'Oh my god, she just wouldn't leave me alone last night. I had to Doug Hug her.'
'I got Doug Hugged, the bastard.'
'I got Doug Hugged, the bastard.'
by PeechyKean July 07, 2012
A Doug Hug is a full on cuddle of Scottish origin. Doug Hugs are particularly popular amongst men from Edinburgh. The myth being that once a woman receives a Doug Hug she falls instantly under his spell. So far 2017 has shown a spike in the number of post Doug Hug marriage proposals. Women have been warned by police forces throughout the British Isles to be careful and to be cautious of Scottish men with dazzling smiles and long arms.
Sarah walked through the door of the bar. Before she knew it a Scottish fellow, grabbed her and Doug hugged her, leaving her a swooning mess.

Over the 20-plus years Rush Limbaugh has been a part of my life…
1. He has never thrown the conservative movement or any part of it under the bus for the media to feast on.
2. He has always publicized his many charities but done so without making it all about him or attacking others.
3. Even under withering media fire, even when it appeared his deafness might cost him his beloved radio show, Rush has never played the martyr or the victim.
Other than being America's supreme articulator of conservative idea and thought, these qualities are also worthy of our admiration and gratitude.

MARINA, Calif. —
A 23-year-old Marina man who works for a whale watching company in Monterey was arrested on rape charges, police said Wednesday.
At 12:20 a.m. on Feb. 13, Marina police said they were flagged down by a victim who said she had been sexually attacked and held against her will.
He was arrested at his home on the 200 block of Carmel Avenue in Marina. Investigators said they found evidence against the man when they searched his home with a search warrant.
He was booked into the Monterey County Jail on charges of rape by force or fear, sodomy, false imprisonment, and battery.

VA concerns
The new computer system Roseburg VA Director Paxton spoke about at the Nov. 29 Brookings town hall and Jane Stebbins reported on in the Dec. 2 story in the Pilot has major snags.
The director was given the opportunity to discuss at the Roseburg town hall and would not comment. (See Dec 15 and 19 stories at disabledveterans.org.)
The Roseburg VA does not appear to be following FDA regulations for proper labeling and dosing instructions, and is providing incomplete drug information warnings/drug interactions with prescriptions to veterans. The FDA is very clear about "boxed" warnings on prescriptions.
I informed Director Paxton in writing Dec. 19 and Congressman Defazio's Eugene office in a detailed letter about these problems on Dec. 20.
Radiological studies are used to treat, diagnose and, in some cases, compensate veterans for service-connected disabilities. The Roseburg VA's imaging studies/radiologist reports, when compared to other non-Roseburg VA officesm, do not show everything, and are fuzzy and inconclusive.
Congressman Defazio's Eugene office made an inquiry to the VA about this very problem in 2016. The VA whitewashed it. Now with more Roseburg MRIs documenting the problem, the Congressman's aide, Whitney Couture, has renewed interest in this problem.
That's all for now.

My Vote Counts?
The DNC Electoral College representatives from each state are not required to vote for the candidate the Democratic voters (their base) of said state voted for during the Democratic primary election.
The DNC Electoral College is set up in such a way it would take an overwhelming number of Democratic voters to defeat the DNC party choice.
This is DNC party control and is not representative of a free democratic society. In 1968, the McGovern/Fraser Commission did away with the smoke-filled back-room primary election presidential selections. Somehow the wealthy and big business have crept back into control of the democratic presidential election nomination.
In Russia this type of process is commonplace and expected; the Russian voters know their votes don't count. Political opponents are jailed as they are set up by the incumbent party.
Bernie Sanders did not have a chance. He wasted his time and money. My Democrat friends told me they don't vote because "their vote doesn't count." I told my friends they were un-American and showing no loyalty to U.S. soldiers who give their life for them every day.
To my friends I apologize; I didn't understand the DNC Electoral College voting rules. If you want to elect a Socialist or a Communist to the position of president of the USA, it's your protected constitutional right to do so, and your vote should count!

Bins frustrating
Contrary to the statement at the end of the article (News Briefs, Dec. 16), Curry Transfer is saying that there are no smaller bins available.
The new bin is twice the size of the regular trash bin. It no longer fits into many folks' garages, raising questions about where it can be stored and whether it can be handled safely by some of our elderly residents when full.
Considering that recycling is now restricted to fewer items, passing out such large bins seems silly. Moreover, questions are being asked whether local stores will change their containers to allow more recycling. If not, we are going to need much larger trash bins instead of larger recycling bins.
I'd take a picture if my husband wasn't so furious.

For future reference, Quan Yin in Chinatown offered a vegan holiday plate on Thanksgiving day. By the time I saw that on VSOP's facebook page, it was too late to leave my kitchen to go all the way out there for a meal. It would have been a great lunch choice though!

Sunshine's Thanksgiving Special
Before Thanksgiving, Sunshine's Vegetarian Deli was offering a vegan holiday plate. I went there on Wednesday for an early dinner. There was pineapple not-ham, candied yams with agave, cornbread dressing, broccoli and rice casserole with vegan cheese, cooked kale greens, and a wheat roll. Yum! It was good, but I inhaled it! I thought the greens and the not-ham were the best parts. I love the nachos here, so I need to head back over there sometime for those.

Thanksgiving 2013
I had two vegan friends over for Thanksgiving. I don't go home for Thanksgiving usually, so I emailed a bunch of folks to see if anyone wanted to come over. I made a Field Roast Celebration Roast, mashed potatoes with chickpea gravy from Appetite for Reduction, green bean casserole from Fat Free Vegan (recipe here), and cranberry sauce from Quick and Easy Vegan Celebrations. One guest brought another roast to cook and cranberry sauce, so we used his sauce for dinner. The second guest brought TWO desserts! Clearly a gal after my own heart! She brought Crave's red velvet vegan cupcakes and a vegan pumpkin pie from Whole Foods. Yum! It was a simple menu so I wouldn't be a big ball of anxiety before they arrived, but it was satisfying. It was great to have someone to share the holiday with and we talked for hours. :)

Hanukkah Party
I was recently invited to a Hanukkah party hosted by some of the dude's friends. We brought quinoa-stuffed mushrooms from Party Vegan, a vegan white wine by Sterling Vineyard (that I found on Barnivore to use in the mushroom dish), a peach crisp from Whole Foods, a whole grain bread from WF, and roasted veggies. I made the mushroom dish and he made the roasted veggies. He actually had the day off, but I worked until the early afternoon. I could have made much more food from scratch, but I wasn't sure if I would get out of work early enough to make more than the mushrooms. They were OK, but I probably won't make them again. The host made us vegan latkes! Yum! The dude tried the matzo ball soup because he doesn't worry about meat broth and eggs (yet). He's a new vegetarian, so I was glad that he didn't eat the brisket with bacon!

Vegan Thanks-living 2013
I went to VSOP's Thanks-living event last weekend. It was packed! 115 people showed up, even though they had planned for 100 people. Last year we got second servings, but this year there was barely enough for everyone. The entree was made by Vegan Comfort, exact same menu as last year but the roast was drier this year. The pumpkin cheesecake pie was from Sinfull Bakery and we got donated coconut ice cream from So Delicious to go with it this year! In the door prizes, I won a shaker of pesto seasoning and a bag of raw granola from Pat Greer's Kitchen. I gave my friend the bag of raw granola because I knew she'd like it. It had buckwheat, pecans, dates, and something else. Granola's not really my thing. The dude enjoyed the food but said he wanted more gravy. He's home for the holiday and said he'd make a game day decision about eating turkey. He's only been meat-free for a few months and I can understand that he's not super comfortable being the odd one out at a family gathering. I just said it'll probably put him to sleep, but I wonder if he'll get upset stomach from it. I'm proud of the progress he's making, so I won't be judgmental if he has a holiday slip-up. I never ate meat after going vegetarian, but I did eat cheese a couple months after I decided to go vegan (and it made me feel like crap).

Bread Baking
The dude likes fresh baked bread. It was a comment he made once and I thought, "Challenge accepted." I tried twice in the used bread machine I got from a friend, but neither attempt was successful. I think the temperature wasn't warm enough to encourage the dough to rise. Recently, I decided to try using my Kitchenaid to knead the dough and let it rise on the counter. I had the oven earlier so I think that made the kitchen warm enough for the dough to rise. You can see it rising above the bread pan edge in this photo. I followed a King Arthur recipe just replacing milk with non-dairy milk. He really appreciated the bread. I made Italian tofu from Vegan with a Vengeance and sun-dried tomato pesto to serve with the bread and some spinach. The sandwiches were delicious. I used the leftover marinade to make more tofu and created a bowl with the other ingredients. :)

Farewell, Miss Adie Mae
Since I introduced the new feral kitty in my life, I guess it's time to write about the saddest day of my life. On September 17th, Adie unexpectedly collapsed and died. I had fed her breakfast, then she went off to play. I heard her nails on the floor, like she was running, but it was way too fast. I came out of the kitchen to see her lying on the floor. I tried to lift her, but she was limp. I set her down, with the hope that I didn't injure her more. I petted her and tried to talk to her, then she took her last breath and wet the floor. I panicked and called the vet, rushing up the stairs to get her crate. She was so limp and light when I put her in the crate, I was crying hysterically the entire way to the vet. I knew it was incredibly unlikely that the vet would be able to save her, but I had to try. Or force them to take x-rays and tell me if she fell down the stairs. The vet helped me schedule a necropsy with the Texas A&M vet school. Turns out she had an enlarged heart that finally gave out. She did not have a heart murmur, so we had no idea that she had an enlarged heart. I knew from her ultrasounds that her liver was slightly too large, but the necropsy showed that one of her kidneys was 1/3 smaller than the other and that many of her organs had microscopic lesions. She had an adenoma on one of her thyroid glands too. Poor girl. All the result of bad breeding. She was a purebred Ocicat. I got her when her old owner dumped her at my house in Baton Rouge. She had misshapen toes, but was otherwise an absolutely stunning and intelligent cat. I miss her. Mischa has also been grieving. I posted many photos of her in the living room and made a little area for her urn in my room. I love you, Miss Adie Mae. You will forever be my little diva.

Meet Onyx
I have recently started feeding a feral cat by my house. I started putting the food inside a trap I borrowed from a neighbor so he'd get used to eating in the trap. Once I saw him go in the trap several times, I set it to actually trap him. Before you freak out and think I have awful intentions, I was doing trap and release. This program allows feral cats to be sterilized, vaccinated for rabies, and released back into their territory. Their ears are marked to show animal control that they are fixed and vaccinated, therefore they should be left alone. After having my hard drive crash and losing my fellowship application, I was very happy to have the kitty go in the trap last week on the first night of an extreme cold snap. It was down into the 30's!! After the vet visit, I kept him inside in a crate another night because of the weather. I hope he continues to come by for food. I've decided to name him Onyx since he's all black. :)

Beaucoup Bar & Grill - Houston, TX
I recently met the owner of Beaucoup Bar & Grill through my kickball league. We had our mid-season party there. I had inquired about the menu beforehand. There is a vegetarian section, so I knew I could modify that to make a vegan meal. After many questions, the owner said the beans and rice are vegan and the grilled veggies for the po'boy are cooked with oil, but the bread was probably not vegan. I ordered a bowl of red beans and rice with just the grilled veggies (no questionable bread for me!). Turns out the sandwiches come with fries, so I got a surprise side of fries. It was quite good! Plus, they hired a DJ for the party and had the LSU v. Alabama game on TV. LSU was doing so well during the first half, but we lost.

Tofu Quiche
Since we had to depart rather early for the chili cook-off and weren't going to have time to stop for brunch in Austin, I made a tofu quiche for breakfast. I actually cooked it the night before, so I'd just have to reheat it in the morning. It's a rare occasion that I make a savory breakfast, but this was quite good. The crust fell apart, not surprising since it's gluten-free. I used portabello mushrooms. It had great flavor, but I'd add a bit more nooch next time. I love nutritional yeast!

Bouldin Creek & Sweet Ritual - Austin, TX
After the eating tour of Austin, I knew I wanted to stop for dinner at Bouldin Creek Cafe and for ice cream at Sweet Ritual. I ordered the tofu migas for dinner. I skipped the beans, since I had a million beans at the chili cook-off. Bouldin Creek isn't stingy with the nooch on their tofu scramble. Nom. Other people ordered tacos and chips with salsa. After dinner, we headed over to Sweet Ritual for dessert. I tried the prickly pear ice cream, but went with the salted caramel sundae. I got one scoop of salted caramel ice cream covered in chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, mini Dandies, and graham cracker crumbs. So good! I'm glad I saved room for dessert. The dude regretted eating chips and salsa when he saw my sundae, but I had told everyone in advance that I wanted to stop for ice cream before driving us back to Houston.

Texas Veggie Chili Cook-off
A group of us went to Austin last Sunday for the annual veggie chili cook-off. They had two separate categories for traditional chilis that had vegan meats and veggie only chilis. I liked many of them, but ultimately voted for The Hearty Vegan tempeh chili. They're a new business and they've come to several VSOP events. Their chili also didn't have a bitter tempeh taste, which was impressive to me. I only got a photo of their booth, but trust me that the chili was tasty. At the cook-off, I bought a pumpkin carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting from Celeste's Best. That cupcake was incredible!!

The dude cooks!
After many years of being single, I've been dating someone for a few months now. We go out to eat quite a bit, but I've also cooked several things for us. I do most of the cooking for the monthly VSOP potlucks and I've cooked a few meals for us. This past Friday, the dude invited me over to his place and said he would do all the cooking. He had made a red wine and mushroom pasta during his 30 day vegan challenge that he really enjoyed. It's a fancy enough meal for date night. The Youtube video was playing on his ipad when I showed up. I tried not to get in the way, but it was interesting watching someone else do all the work. I did volunteer to make the garlic toast, since that was easy and could be done away from the stovetop. I was very impressed! It also made me really appreciate dating a vegetarian dude. He went vegetarian after his 30 day vegan challenge and he eats only vegan food when we're together. I posted this photo on fb and many of my female friends commented that he's a keeper. I think so too. ;)

5k as Super Vegan
I totally forgot to post this here, but I ran a 5k with a friend recently. We signed up because it was a superhero themed race to benefit Child Advocate Services. I went as Super Vegan in a cape that I made from gold sequined fabric and he went as Thor. I ordered the vegan socks on Amazon here. I didn't ask his permission to post his photo here, so I'll just share my photo from after the race. We finished in 29.5 minutes! We signed up to have a reason to run and train, but neither of us actually trained. We ran less than 6 times to prepare between the two of us. Whoops! We were both pleasantly surprised by our time! Yay!

Frozen Tamales
Found frozen vegan tamales at Fiesta recently. I stuffed them into the freezer for a busy day. October was full of those, so I finally tried them. They are made by a company called White Mountain. I tried the chipotle-mushroom tamales one night and the sweet potato-pecan tamales another night. The chipotle one did not seem to include any mushrooms, just chipotle peppers and corn. They were very hot, but I really wanted mushrooms in them. The sweet potato-pecan one tasted sweet instead of savory. Overall, I'd rank these a meh and I likely won't buy them again. Bummer. I served these with some blue corn chips and Nacho Mom's vegan queso. I've had this queso before, but snagged a jar in Austin. It has a weird texture when cold, but is tasty when warm.

Quick Coconut Curry
Another clean out the fridge post! Baby carrots, onion, part of a bell pepper, coconut milk, frozen broccoli, sriracha, red curry paste, and some pumpkin or squash puree lurking in the freezer for months. Also cooked some tofu to add for protein. Served over basmati rice. Quick and easy! Look at the colors in that mis en place - gorgeous! I need to get some pumpkin or squash puree for this year.

Lunch at Whole Foods
After college football the other day, the dude and I were indecisive about what to have for lunch. His team had lost and I was patiently waiting for the evening for the FSU v. Miami game. I suggested Whole Foods because the hot bar allows you to pick and choose, or stand around and consider your choices for an excessive amount of time haha. I went for the channa masala, one of my favorites from the WF hot bar in Florida, and the samosas! I've never seen a samosa on the hot bar before, but they were very good. I was bummed that the naan bread was not vegan, but I haven't seen a commercially made naan bread that's vegan ever. I also picked the saffron rice since there was no white rice on the hot bar. The dude went for the eclectic take-out box. He picked a samosa, a scoop of channa masala, Cajun corn and stewed tomatoes, roasted carrots, and a green falafel patty. I bought an Eli's Earth Bar for dessert and he picked out dark chocolate covered pretzel. Nom nom nom.

Date Night
The dude mentioned wanting to see the new movie Ender's Game. It's based on a book, but I have not read the book. This meant the twist at the end was a surprise to me and it left me thinking. Overall, I'd recommend the movie. I decided to order tickets for opening night as a surprise date night idea. I offered to take him to dinner too, because I had a gift certificate for Pepper Tree, which is next to the theater. He ordered the General Tso's chick'n and I ordered the Cashew Chick'n. The Tso chick'n is more flaky and the Cashew chick'n is more dense. If you are particular about textures, ask which chick'n is used in the dish you'd like to order. Perfect date night, just the two of us and a mellow evening. We've both been so busy in October that it was nice to just have a low-key evening together. He seemed to really enjoy himself. I snapped this photo of our food when he went to the bathroom.

Veggie Crockpot Chili
The weather has been cooling down here in Houston and that's the perfect signal to break out the Crockpot. There is nothing better than coming home to a hot, already prepared, comfort food meal after a long day of work. (Did I mention I work way more at my new job? 9 or 10 hour days with a 15 minute lunch are common.) I knew this week would be busy, so Monday night I set up a chili recipe that only needed to cook for 3.5 hours. I soaked my beans and cooked those in the small crockpot during the day, but I could have made canned beans and used one less appliance. This two bean chili recipe is from The Vegetarian Slow Cooker. Interestingly, the second bean is green beans! Pinto beans, green beans, corn, zucchini, and sauteed onions are cooked in the crockpot and a sauce made from soaked ancho peppers, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro is added near the end. The zucchini is sauteed, chilled, and then added with the sauce actually. It is tasty and I like the crunch of the green beans. I tried to make some bread in my bread machine to go with this, but it didn't rise very well and was too dense. I ended up eating the leftovers with crackers during the week.

Dosa Factory - Houston, TX
VSOP had dinner at Dosa Factory recently. I'd been there once before, so I was glad to return. I ordered a chettinad spicy dosa and the dude ordered the masala dosa. The masala dosa is the only one that comes in a traditional presentation, which was a bit of a surprise to us. Since the restaurant is currently offering free appetizers with each dosa purchase, we picked the Manchurian idli and onion vada. We were even given a free dessert, that soy rice pudding again. Nom nom nom.

Junk Food
For Halloween, I made pizza using a pre-cooked crust and sauce from Whole Foods, Daiya mozzarella, and Tofurky pepperoni. A friend and I had plans to watch a scary movie and hand out candy to kids in his neighborhood. I was a little late because the road I wanted to take was flooded. I also made Isa's chocolate and vanilla cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, adding orange food coloring to the vanilla cupcakes and half of the frosting. I forgot to take a picture, but I put little jelly pumpkins from Whole Foods on the cupcakes. The chocolate cupcakes got orange frosting and a black pumpkin, whereas the vanilla cupcakes were dyed orange but had white frosting and an orange pumpkin. Cute. I grabbed a container of sour bats from Whole Foods too. I made homemade candy corn again, I think that will be a yearly tradition. Clearly, I like sugar. :)

Halloween 2013
Had to share a picture of my Leeloo (from the Fifth Element) costume! It's my most revealing costume ever and I got a lot of compliments on it. It feels sooo good to be back in my normal body. After the anxiety-induced weight loss of 2010 and the depression-induced weight gain of 2011, I spent part of 2012 losing most of the weight and the first part of 2013 to lose the last few pesky pounds. I'm glad to feel normal again, mentally and physically. :) The dude also got a lot of compliments for his costume.

Vegan Cheese Party/Girls' Night
I met a bunch of new vegan ladies at Texas Go Vegan Week events this year. I decided to organize a girls' night for my friends and these new ladies. I went with a vegan cheese party. I had ordered a couple cheeses from Door 86 Vegan Cheese, but decided to order one 3 oz block of each flavor after inviting so many people. I invited 8 ladies and 7 were able to attend. The last person didn't feel well that night unfortunately. I bought a bunch of crackers (including gluten-free varieties for some of the guests), baguette, and grapes. Other people brought fruit, homemade Artisan Vegan Cheeses, Heidi Ho Veganics cheeses, vegan wines, and Newman's Own PB cookies. Nom nom nom. Everyone had a great time and I was glad that it went so well. I had to borrow a table and some folding chairs from friends, but we managed to fit into my tiny place. :)

Texas Veggie Fair - More Shopping & CAROL ADAMS
This will be my final post on the Texas Veggie Fair! To round out my daily shopping, I picked up another shirt and some books. I really wanted to see Carol Adams speak. I saw her name on the speaker list and knew that she wrote The Sexual Politics of Meat (on Amazon here. It's supposed to a fundamental piece of literature in the movement, so I really wanted to see her. About half-way through her talk, I realized I read one of her books in her college called Beyond Animal Rights: A Feminist Caring Ethics for the Treatment of Animals (on Amazon here). I hope to read some more of her work over the holiday season this year.

Texas Veggie Fair - Herbivore Clothing
I was super excited to see that Herbivore Clothing was coming to the Texas Veggie Fair. They use different t-shirt companies so each company's sizing is slightly different. I like trying on my clothes before buying them. I also called Herbivore in advance and requested a hoodie and a sign. They were planning to bring long-sleeved shirts and tees, but a vegan hoodie would be lovely. That's the best part about interacting with a small company, they really care! After shopping and eating all day, I swung back by the booth for the big tote bag. I was on the fence at the start of the day, but had enough cash left at the end of the day to afford it. :)

Sometimes it's so much more effective to let people experience the problem instead of trying to explain. So that's exactly what we did. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA1kFuLI4OM[/youtube]
Globally 75 million girls are denied an education by the daily realities of poverty, violence and discrimination. Because of the simple fact that they are girls. This live event we organized is the Belgian kick-off for the international 'Raise your hand for girls'-campaign where Plan International aims to gain one million raised hands to show UN that girls education is a priority.

License plate agency moving
By Matthew Whittle
Published in News on October 30, 2013 1:46 PM
The lines may not be much shorter, but beginning Friday, people headed to the Goldsboro License Plate Agency will likely be less crowded and more comfortable as they wait.
The agency, currently located at 511 N. William St., will close Thursday as it moves to its new location at 1801 E. Ash St., in the Wayne Plaza shopping center -- in the old Heritage Bank building down from Food Lion.
It will reopen on Friday, with its regular business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Goldsboro License Plate Agency has been at its William Street location for 13 years, said contract agent Annalee Griffin.
Mrs. Griffin took over the agency in January 1997 -- the same time it went to a computerized system.
With the exception of all but a very small few, license plate agencies in North Carolina are contracted by the state Department of Transportation to a private individual. The state provides the tags, the forms and the computers. The individual provides the employees and the location.
"The state pays us for every completed transaction," Mrs. Griffin said.
But, she said, things have become increasingly more complicated for the agency as the state has continued to change and update its responsibilities.
"It's been building up," she said. "It's gotten more complex."
Not often, she said, do they have people come in just for simple tag renewals. Most people have some sort of issue with inspections not being done, insurance having lapsed or taxes not being paid. They also often have people coming in to do title transfers.
"There's a lot that people, sooner or later, will come to see us about," Mrs. Griffin said.
Adding to that complexity -- and the amount of time a transaction takes -- is state's requirement vehicle taxes be paid at the time of renewal.
So while she's not planning to increase the number of employees -- 5 -- for the time being, she did say that the time had come to move.
"Right now, what we most need is more room," she said.
Plus, she said, the new facility -- 700 square feet bigger -- has the added benefit of coming ready to use with the bank's former teller windows and counter already in place.
"They (DOT) have come in and approved the new site. They did all the wiring and everything," Mrs. Griffin said. On Thursday, they just have to move the computers and other equipment -- that's why we're closed. We'll move the furniture.
"The building is ready and we'll be open Friday."
The Goldsboro License Plate Agency is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on all state holidays.
