Pasta Salad Season
By swan480 in Entertainment | 0 comments
When the weather is hot like it is right now — in the mid to high 90s most days here in Denver — pasta salads are one of my favorite meals. True, cooking the pasta makes the kitchen a little hot, but the resulting meal is fairly cool and refreshing — and it makes plenty of leftovers that don’t require any cooking.
I am not really very big on cooking normally. I haven’t had any culinary education, and in fact they’d probably be more likely to flunk me than to pass me — I may be able to make a great pasta salad, but really that’s about it. My claim to fame is having been able to screw up pre-packaged cookie dough. I don’t think it gets much worse than that.
I may not be otherwise big on the culinary arts, but I am proud of my pasta salad. I usually don’t follow a recipe, though I used to — all my pasta salads are variations on the first ever recipe for pasta salad that I used to follow, a recipe for a shrimp Caesar pasta salad. One of my favorites is a cucumber pasta salad, using the Kroger brand Creamy Cucumber dressing — yum yum!
Of course, I suppose the culinary arts institutes could probably give me some more ideas so that I could make more than just pasta salad — but I’m not complaining. The truth is, hubby usually cooks for me, and he’s pretty good at it — so usually we eat pretty well!

Make Sure Truck Accessories Are Easy To Install
By kathrynv in Automotive | 0 comments
I should have known better. I know I should have. And once I tell you this story, you’re going to say, "yep, you should have known better".
You see, I was doing some online shopping because I wanted to kill some time. I stumbled upon a website that was selling really inexpensive truck accessories. I had just recently bought a truck and figured that it would be nice to improve the appearance of it a little bit while also getting some accessories that could protect it from damage by the elements.
I chose my accessories and placed the order. What I didn’t do was read the fine print. Yes, I know.
When the accessories arrived, I discovered that they were practically impossible to install myself. Some had to be put together; no, there weren’t any instructions. Others were easy enough to put together but didn’t seem to fit quite right into my truck. I ended up having to pay my mechanic to do the installs for me which meant the products ended up costing a fortune.
I learned my lesson. Whether I’m buying a bed liner or fender flares, I will always make sure from now on to get truck accessories that are easy to install. I know they’re out there - I just didn’t look.

Screening Out the Dirt from an Archeological Discovery
By Value in Education | 0 comments
A possible new ancient civilization has been discovered. Obscured for thousands of years, parts of it have recently been seen, and archeologists need to work to get all the rock and soil away from and out of the buildings. Since many archeological digs are sponsored by not-for-profit organizations, finding an inexpensive portable screener is critical for completing the project. Not for just removing soil, but screening out small artifacts such as coins, jewelry, and fragments of clay kitchenware. The high-capacity of some topsoil screens can help get the task done much quicker than without them.
Getting to all the artifacts can be difficult, especially if dirt has entered the ancient buildings or has damaged them. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and mudslides can cause enough soil and rock to bury a small city, and leave it that way until it is dug up. Using dirt screening plants will make the job easier. It can take a while to identify artifacts that have been buried for so long, which themselves can be made out of clay and other natural materials. However, they are likely large enough to be found after most of the soil and rock has been screened.

Chocolate Delights and Flow Meters
By AZ in Business | 0 comments
When you think about flow meters the first thing that usually comes to mind is gas or some kind of water flow. But lots of things can flow including melted chocolate that is poured on top of rows of nuts or mini-cakes. Chocolate is an obsession in this country and getting the candy or cupcake right is important. Finding anything less than what was expected under that wrapper is just not acceptable to the sweet loving person. That’s where a company like Sierra Instruments can be a chocolate lover’s favorite. The manufacturer of flow meters that can be used in the food and beverage company make it possible to create the perfect chocolate covered treat by controlling the amount of chocolate released on the assembly line.
When you read about the history of chocolate, the first candy bars were laboriously made by hand dipping rolled ingredients into vats of chocolate. If you visit a modern plant you will find sophisticated equipment like a liquid flow calibrator that insures the application of chocolate is delightfully perfect. For those water flow pipes used during the process, the Ultrasonic Water Flowmeter is non-invasive and contributes to the overall production of those sweet treats that people spend billions of dollars on annually. So when you think about chocolate next time, you can also think about one of the reasons your chocolate looks so perfect is because of flow meters!
