ADD SWEETENER: Add low carb sweetener, vanilla paste (and vodka, if using) and blend until creamy. There are so many dessert dips and spreads out there but I feel so much better eating this one because I know exactly what goes into it. BLEND IN HIGH-SPEED BLENDER: Start off by adding the canned coconut cream and cream cheese in a high-speed blender (a Blendtec or a Vitamix). Drain the soaking water and put into a blender with the water and vanilla paste. This Maple Vanilla Cashew Cream is made with just 4 ingredients and is vegan! It’s full of healthy fats from the cashews and a minimal amount of sugar from the maple syrup. Soak the cashews overnight, or for at least 3 hours. It may not replace Cannoli cream for good but it’s pretty dang good. Store in the freezer well covered for up to 1 month. Set out for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Top with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm. 1 pinch salt directions In a high speed blender, blend the cashews and 1/4 cup water until combined. So while it’s totally fine every once in a while, I won’t be reaching for an after dinner Cannoli every night! In an effort to make something kinda sorta similar to Cannoli cream, I came up with this Maple Vanilla Cashew Cream. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a large freezer-safe container and smooth with a spoon. Unfortunately Cannoli cream is not the best for you. If you’re familiar with Italian pastries then you know most of them have cream fillings such as, my favorite, Cannoli cream! I LOVE Cannoli cream. Blend on high and slowly add water by the tablespoon until completely smooth, another 1 to 2 minutes. With the blender on low, add just enough water (about ¼ cup) to make a thick paste, about 30 seconds. The lemon juice and salt add a tang and a little savory flavor, though it’s mild. If you want a thinner cream then use up to a ¼ cup more water. The basic cream recipe is really just the cashews and water. Store unused cream in the refrigerator.Growing up in an Italian family meant Italian pastries at EVERY family event. Drain the cashews, discard the soaking liquid, and place in a blender with the maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Add the cashews, lemon juice (if using) water and salt (if using) to the blender jug and blend until smooth. Scrap vanilla bean and add seeds to cashew cream and blend until smooth. Blend until smooth adding more water if needed to desired consistency. Then blend with dates, lemon juice, salt and water until pretty smooth. Place cashews, agave, lemon juice and 1/3 cup of water in a Vitamix or high-speed blender. I made the base recipe, but added some vanilla bean paste, 2-3 tbs granulated sugar, 1.5 (roughly) tbs agar powder. Method: Drain and wash the cashews soaked for at least a few hours, best owernight. Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water, water should be about an inch above the cashews, and soak for at least 4 hours. Cashew cream is easy to make, the hardest part is planning ahead and soaking your cashews for at least 4 hours.ġ/4c Vanilla Bean Cashew Cream, recipe below This is a dairy free version of berries in cream using vanilla bean infused, velvety smooth, cashew cream. Growing up my mom would make fresh whipped cream and we would have it with berries. Strawberries and Vanilla Bean Cashew Cream The second and final season of VeggieTales in the City subsequently premiered on Netflix in late 2017.Īt the 2018 Christian Worldview Film Festival, Mike Nawrocki confirmed that he was no longer working on VeggieTales, and there was nothing in production. In June 2017, Mike Nawrocki appeared on the Christian talk show Today's Life, and said "If there's ever an opportunity to do something VeggieTales-related again, I would love to do that." Furthermore, Nawrocki's LinkedIn profile states that he left his position at Big Idea in February 2016. He also says that Archibald's hair looks swirly.įollowing the release of the episode Noah's Ark on March 3, 2015, Big Idea did not announce any new plans for further VeggieTales home video releases, seemingly focusing solely on the Netflix series. In a recent podcast, Phil says that they have colored iris' (similar to the Sonic the Hedgehog series) and their mouths are more dynamic. In 2014, shortly after the release of Beauty and the Beet (the last episode to feature the original look of the characters), Netflix released 11 minute shorts exclusively along with new redesigns of the original cast. Since then, no new episodes of the series have been produced, likely due to Big Idea being too busy making and focusing on the Netflix series. The series started with only either one or two episode(s) per year, until the company grew and produced three videos per year as of 2014. While Toy Story is considered the first animated film to use computer imagery for film, VeggieTales is the first video series using that type of animation prior to the film's release. The name itself came from Mike Nawrocki, as he felt it was a good title as it was about vegetables telling stories. Ultimately, the sketches Phil drew became the basis for VeggieTales. Phil did one on "The Princess and the Pea," but telling it from the pea's perspective, but never made it as a puppet show. Phil then joined with Mike Nawrocki, who they both did puppet shows in Bible college. Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki in their puppet team. They included: 1) you will not portray Jesus Christ as a vegetable, and 2) try not imply that vegetables can have redemptive relationships with God. In order to create VeggieTales, Phil had to follow a few rules given to him by his mother. He chose these objects as he said they were easy to animate as compared to characters with limbs, clothes, or hair because of the limitations on 3D graphics during the early 1990s. So he drew a cucumber and thought that was the best choice, vegetables. However, his wife objected the idea as she thought it was a bad influence on kids. Phil originally started out in 1990 when he wanted to use candy bars as a basis. Larry the Cucumber (from The VeggieTales Show), who plays Jonah in the movie, is afraid to come out of his dressing room, due to the fear of being swallowed by a whale.The show was created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki when they wanted to create a series of videos teaching children about stories and lessons from the Bible, while making it fun and entertaining. Mati and Dada: Jonah Sing-Along Songs and More! is a 2020 American animated sing-along direct-to-video, a Mati and Dada style of VeggieTales: Jonah Sing-Along Songs and More!, to promote the movie.

As a significant number of first time Linux users are developers.įinally I would say for me this is a distribution which I want to use as a daily driver simply because of the lovely dark theme and the simplicity of the Software and familiar interface it provides. While I can download Geany, Gvim, Gedit or VSCode, for a developer like me who uses out of box Linux distro for light development and compatible developed friendly text editor is a great help specifically for even a new Linux user. As more and more UEFI supported devices become old, the demand for out of box for UEFI compatible Linux Distros will increase and its here that Zorin OS or Lubuntu outpace Linux Lite.Īnother area which I feel Linux Lite can improve is my supporting a developer friendly Text editor. It also has one of the best looking Terminals where I spend most of my time.įor me the Bad is lack of support for UEFI, this is one OS that I want to use on my low powered Laptop but because my laptop supports UEFI and for Linux Lite the UEFI is more of a hack and lack of ready ISOs makes it a very difficult choice to use out of a VM. I also liked that for installing new packages they have Synaptic Package manager which makes the process of finding and installing new softwares and packages a breeze. The other aspect which I liked in the VM was its out of box multimedia support and beautiful picture and audio quality which makes it a good alternatives for anyone looking to use Linux for personal use. I have used many file managers and all try to emulate Windows File Browser to the best of their capability but the Linux Lite file browser has absolutely nailed it.Īs we spend most of the time on a Desktop on the UI, the simple, familiar layout and the Windows like Icons makes a Linux newbie easily at home. Its UI is familiar, despite having a dark theme, its icon layout and start menu are the closest to Windows and the packaged apps like VLC Player, Libre Office, Gimp and Shotwell makes replaces the default Windows 7 App very well.įor me the Desktop, the file manager and the Terminal are the highlight of LinuxLite. Linux Lite is the closest UI that I have got to Windows 7 and also the most easiest to getting used to after coming from a Windows OS. I had tried Linux lite on my old PC earlier, while I like it then but went with Zorin OS for its more modern and more simple looking UI but recently after using Lubuntu, I have come to appreciate the crisp and Windows friendly UI of Linux Lite. It is one of the few distributions that comes in 32 bit and 64 bit versions which makes sure that even your ancient PC is supported by Linux Lite. It has a very active community and after Zorin OS I find Linux Lite as the best light weight OS for your old PC. It includes a set of Lite application to make the life easier for a novice Linux user. The distribution offers a lightweight desktop experience with a customized Xfce desktop environment. Linux Lite is a Linux distribution, based on Debian and Ubuntu and created by a team led by Jerry Bezencon. I tried the LinuxLite 4.6 64bit for this demo. Since I have posted on other Linux Distros I had always wanted to write about Linux Lite. I have tried Linux Lite earlier but never did an in-depth review of this Distro till now.

Five, 10, 20 years down the line, it makes sense that most copies of a game in circulation will have been opened, used, maybe frayed at the edges a little or gained a coffee ring on the manual. In the years following a game's release, you can expect people to, you know, play it. We've grouped these entries into three categories: opened copies at varying degrees of completeness, mint condition and "graded" examples, and interesting games that we have heard about from collectors, but been unable to find examples or prices for out in the wild. (Except for the second-to-last entry of section two, which just doesn't make sense.) This certainly raises issues with a definitive list of the rarest and most expensive of these games, and may even lead down a path of philosophical musing on what even is value or collectability in the face of such market fluctuations and speculative manipulation.įor the purpose of this list, we present the highest prices that collectible big boxes have actually sold for, leaving it up to the reader to determine if they are actually worth that much. As much as I wanted this Japanese release of Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, $250 is more than I'm willing to pay-and that's nothing compared to the sticker shock on this list. If you happen to have one tucked away somewhere, you may be surprised what someone will pay for it. Those precious little treasures have a way of getting lost, making complete big box editions of PC games tougher and tougher to find. If you were lucky enough to grow up in a PC gaming household in the '90s, you probably remember a shelf or two of these big box PC games, which often contained goodies like manuals, guides, cloth maps, figurines, and other collectibles. It's actually pretty difficult to find PC games that routinely sell for more than a thousand outside the crazy investor bubble. "Collectors are buying them up and having them graded as investments." "I think the market for console games has hit its peak and attention has turned toward the big box PC games, which is why we're seeing sealed versions start to go for such high prices," says Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios, which specializes in retro PC remakes and remasters. Patrick coolly spies a family photo of the pair in Montana with Uncle Ethan and Aunt Allison after breaking into the accountant's home, revealing that they're going to Soda Butte Survival School in Montana. It's a wise decision, though trusting the family he knows is how Jack and Patrick find the father and son so quickly. We can only put our trust in people we know.” “The case involves a large number of people, son, people who have a lot to lose. But I still know it, which means they'll come after me as well.” When his son suggests going to the police, Owen insists that the DA was not saved by police protection. The man I worked for was killed today as a result of what I discovered. “I'm a forensic accountant,” Owen explains to the youngster, “which means I look for things that don't add up.” And I discovered some. And with his confession to his son, he gives us just enough information to understand why he is so terrified. When Connor's father, Owen (Jake Weber), learns on the morning news in Jacksonville, Florida that the DA he worked for died "in a gas leak," he immediately flees with his son, travelling further than the men who want him dead could have predicted. Most of the characters in Those Who Wish Me Dead and what they're dying for are motivated by implication. In fact, Jack chooses to go up against the shooter at the end over Angelina Jolie's Hannah because he's angry about getting the Two-Face treatment earlier in the film with the fire to the face, and he hopes Allison is holding the deer rifle in the woods. In the same vein, when Jack and Patrick first enter the DA's home, you can hear a baby crying off-screen, which means that when Patrick later tells Ethan (Jon Bernthal) that he won't kill him or his wife Allison (Medina Senghore) because she's pregnant, he's lying through his teeth. This strongly implies that they killed everyone in the house prior to the explosion. For example, Jack and Patrick are debating whether the latter should go change his shirt because it has a drop of blood on it. We are not shown that they physically murder the couple, but writer-director Sheridan heavily relies on inference throughout the film. It all goes back to the beginning of the film, when we see Gillen's Jack and Hoult's Patrick pose as local gas and fire authorities in Florida, befriending the wife of an off-screen district attorney-in he's the shower-and presumably killing both before planting the bomb. So, what exactly is that storey, and why did so many people have to die in order to tell it? The exact details are unknown, but if we look at the overall structure of the film, we can get a pretty good idea of why everyone is dying. However, as a news crew approaches the young lad, played by Finn Little, it becomes clear that he is about to reveal a storey that many shadowy figures wanted to keep hidden. What is written on the piece of paper? Why do Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult so desperately want this Connor kid dead? The ending of Taylor Sheridan's Those Who Wish Me Dead is purposefully ambiguous about the nature of the killing. The ending of Taylor Sheridan's Those Who Wish Me Dead begs the question of what the storey was about. (My Fedora systems never survive updates if I use non-free drivers for NVidia cards, so I resort to using integrated graphics for my Fedora machines.) The only downside of using Wayland is that it may give you a hard time if you are using any dedicated GPU cards, but Fedora is not known for out-of-the-box GPU support. Some of the advanced display features require the Wayland display server protocol, which is now available as an option on the login screen along with the aging X11. A preview of the content showing on the connected monitors lets you set resolution or scaling for best experience. Fedora now supports fine-grained configuration for all connected monitors using the redesigned display settings. Gnome has done some impressive work for those who use multiple displays. You can choose tiny fonts and icons with massive screen real estate (akin to four 1080p monitors on the same screen) or scale the full screen down to a boring 1080p. As someone who uses 4K or HiDPI monitors, I like the options available through Fedora/Gnome. For example, in previous years, Fedora users got a early look at the Gnome Software package tool, as well as Google Drive integration for Gnome's Files file manager.įedora 27 includes the latest stable release of Gnome, version 3.26, which brings some changes to the UI and many improvements under the hood. The close connection between Red Hat and Gnome means that Fedora users get early access to many of Gnome's new features and functionalities. Red Hat is the leading contributor to the Gnome project, and Gnome is the default desktop environment for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so the investment in Gnome is quite evident. The inconsistency in the button placement, and the instructions and warning display in an almost unreadable font color, fall short of expectations for a cutting edge distro.įigure 2: You can easily configure online services on Fedora 27.įedora is known as a Gnome distribution, although alternative Fedora "spins" versions are available for other desktops. For instance, the option for creating a system user is easy to miss ( Figure 1). It's not very intuitive and could be confusing to a new user. I do have some mixed feelings about Anaconda, the Fedora installer. Installation was flawless on each of the bare metal systems and virtual machines. All of my systems have a minimum of 16GB and maximum of 64GB of RAM, so I have really not tested it on an underpowered system. I tested Fedora 27 on multiple machines – Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, Dell Precision 5720 AIO, a custom built PC with Intel i7 Core 4780k and GTX 1070 Ti, VirtualBox, VMWare Fusion, and Parallels Desktop. Or, as Fedora Project Manager Matthew Miller once explained to me, "Fedora Workstation appeals to our traditional default user base in many ways, but will have a greater focus on software developers and content creators – and, as the name implies, on people who don't want to do all of their computing from their phone." According to Miller, the Fedora project has always thought of its target user as someone who could also be a potential contributor. This article will focus on the Workstation edition, but it is important to know that, in the case of Fedora, "workstation" does not mean "end user." Fedora's target audience is people like Linus Torvalds – developers and power users who are looking for early versions of the latest Linux updates. So one of the reasons I ended up going with Fedora is just that they do a good job on the side I cared about."įedora Linux comes in three editions: Workstation, Server, and Cloud. Linus once told me in an interview, "One of the reasons I like Fedora is they tend to be fairly good about new kernels." He also said he appreciated the efforts the Fedora community, especially Red Hat, put towards kernel development. And I'm not the only one who holds Fedora in high regard: Linux creator Linus Torvalds uses it as his primary distro. In fact, Fedora was the distro that led me to the desktop Linux world. Fedora Linux holds a very special place in my heart. The Red-Hat-sponsored Fedora project recently released Fedora 27, and I couldn't wait to take a look. |
