Slice the tofu lengthwise into 6 equal slices. Fold a large flour sack towel (or other large cloth kitchen towel) to fit a small baking sheet. Place the tofu slices on the towel, top with another similarly-folded towel, and place a baking sheet on top. Add weight to the top baking sheet (I used a 20-pound bag of rice and it worked great). Allow the tofu to be pressed and drained for 10minutes.

While the tofu is being squeezed, mix the water through pepper flakes in a dish that will hold all of the tofu slices in a single layer. Place the tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. Marinate for 20-30 minutes, turning frequently.

Preheat a grill to medium. Generously coat the tofu slices with cooking spray, then carefully transfer to the grill surface. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the tofu shows browned grill marks, and carefully turn. Grill the other side until the surface is marked.

Divide the rice between 2 plates. Place the tofu slices on top, and drizzle generously with peanut sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.

( I would have liked some fresh lime juice squeezed on top, but I only had 1/2 lime in the fridge and used it in the marinade.)

Oh, and there is much joy tonight. We gave the pond a thorough cleaning the other day, the water is nice and clear, and this afternoon I walked by and heard a “plop”. Sitting on the porch, watching intently, I saw a small frog climb out to sit on a rock. I was so sad this spring when I realized that all of our frogs had perished over this past winter, and no toads showed up to perform their spring serenade, either. And now the frogs are returning! Or, rather, a frog has returned. Gotta start somewhere-- yay!

pumpkin dilemma

Suddenly my life has become quite hectic. We are invited to a tailgate party Saturday afernoon and I wanted to bring the "Pumpkin Caramel Bars with bacon" as a dessert. I wrote down the ingredients to pick up at the store and there was a sign on the shelf that should have canned pumpkin that said something about Libby's not being able to get pumpkins or something. I don't have time to make my own puree. Any suggestions for a substitute?

Here are the recipes for the next review dinner from the current issue. Review date will be Monday, Sept. 27. I won't be here, so I'll email my review to Jean before I leave town. I liked this recipe because they gave other suggestions for the meat, so thought it might appeal to everyone.

Guidelines

I'm sure that many people have noticed the explosion of the Gentoo userbase, which has led to the explosion of these forums and other forms of support. In an effort to keep forums relatively organized, I have setup several guidelines:

Use common sense - Just because it isn't explicitly stated as one of the rules below doesn't mean it's OK. Use common sense and good Netiquette when posting, replying and browsing these forums. This includes the following:
- Also see General Guidelines for Off The Wall, which contains additional information suitable to the forums in general.
- No posts for the sole purpose of increasing your postcount.
- No "senseless" posts. Yes, its subjective. As a subjective way to help understand, if a coherent conversation cannot be read in the thread, it might be senseless.
- Keep the forums free from SPAM. This means no SPAM posting, no personal messaging SPAM, no SPAM in signatures or elsewhere in your profile. SPAM includes unsolicited messaging. If it takes you hours to send hundreds of Personal Messages, it is still SPAM. Also, please do not reply to SPAM, just report it.
- No Quote pyramids.
- Abide by the Code of Conduct.
Check that your question isn't answered anywhere else - Gentoo Linux is very well documented at gentoo.org, but most users seem to overlook the obvious. I have started a collection of helpful links to assist everyone.
Search before posting - Please try to use the search feature on the website prior to starting a new topic regarding a problem you are experiencing. Chances are, due to the rapid growth of the forum, your problem may have been solved already or a problem similar to it. By searching prior to posting, you will help yourself by find a solution sooner, and keep the newer problems in focus. Please also search the Bugzilla and file a bug if appropriate. Please also note that Off the Wall and international forums are not searched by default, you have to search them specifically from the search page. Duplicate threads will be merged, locked or moved to the Duplicate Threads forum at the moderators' discretion.
Include logs and tell us commands executed - Nobody can help you if they don't know what's wrong, or what you did to get the error you recieved. Providing this information will greatly aid others in assisting you, and will allow us to diagnose your problem easier and sooner.
Choose a good subject - Do not make your subject say just "Help gentoo newbie," nobody wants to hear this. Describe your problem briefly in your subject, then you can describe your problem in greater depth in the body of your article. Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things clearer. Avoid "subject says all" etc. A better subject might have been "X Windows crashes whenever I run program foo."
Use BBCodes if you feel you can - BBCodes help to make articles more readable. Visit http://forums.gentoo.org/faq.php?mode=bbcode to learn more. Some additional tips:
- Avoid long lines with no embedded whitespace. Insert spaces or line breaks to allow browsers to wrap text. Horizontal scrolling makes articles hard to read.
- Many visitors do not have wide, high-resolution screens. Remember this when deciding whether a line is "too long."
- URLs with non-alphanumeric characters may confuse the [url] tag. Read this tip to learn how to handle them.
- Avoid surprises--use the Preview button on the posting form. Test URL links. Fix missing or mismatched tags. Correct accidental "smilies" (example: "see man fdisk(8)" becomes "see man fdisk(") or use the checkbox provided to disable them altogether.
Thank those who help you - If you post a problem and someone helps you, simply replying with a thank you message or an acknowledgement that their suggestions worked are very much appreciated.
No bashing - If someone is posting about a problem they are experiencing, don't simply tell them they are using the wrong program and recommend they try your recommendation. Instead, provide facts or opinions supporting your recommendation, provide positive feedback, and please keep the criticism low.
Keep on topic - If you are replying about something to do with iptables for example, and someone mentions a configuration tool that runs in KDE, don't start talking about KDE, stick to the topic. Go start a new topic and post a link to the old one if there is relevant information there.
No personal attacks - These forums are not a place for you to take cheap shots at somebody because he/she did something. Do that some place else (or better yet, get over it). You have been warned. Hopefully, this won't be much of a problem here.
Illegal activites - Please do not discuss illegal activities, such as cracking software, breaking into web sites, etc. on these forums. While such activities might not be illegal in all countries, this server is hosted in the US and, as such, must abide by US laws. By allowing discussions about illegal activities to take place on these forums, we may expose the Gentoo project to unnecessary legal liability. Therefore, any posts that advocate activities that are illegal under US laws may be deleted without notice.
Cross posting - Please do not post the same question to multiple forums. Cross posting clutters up the forums and makes things like searching harder for other users. If you feel your question could fit in multiple forums, please pick the best one and post there. Please do not post about the same subject multiple times. One thread is sufficient. See Report violations, duplicates, misplaced posts, etc. if you like a thread moved.
Ask Questions The Smart Way - If you are new to the internet, forums or the world of Linux, or if you just aren't sure what kinds of questions are okay to ask and how they should be phrased, then please read "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" and "How to Report Bugs Effectively". It covers many of the same points as covered in this guide, but goes into far more detail and offers detailed explanations and suggestions.
Keep image sizes within reason - If you use an avatar, please observe the following guidelines:
- Avatars should be no larger than 80x80 pixels.
- Avatars should be no larger than 7Kb.
- We reserve the right to remove images with offensive, annoying or otherwise problematic content.
- Images in posts and signatures are disabled.
Job postings - Read the FAQ too: FO5: Guidelines for posting Job announcements. Job vacancies that use Gentoo Linux only. No resumes or CVs allowed. Note: Gentoo Linux is not affiliated with these job postings in any way.
Multiple accounts - Each person should have only one account. If you get banned for some reason and simply create another account, it might get banned the minute the moderators become aware of it.

You should periodically check this topic for updates.

Thank you.

Clothing

A feature of all modern human societies is the wearing of clothing, a category encompassing a wide variety of materials that cover the body. The primary purpose of clothing is functional, as a protection from the elements . Clothes also enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hiking and cooking , by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment. Further, clothes provide a hygienic barrier, keeping toxins away from the body and limiting the transmission of germs .
Clothing performs a range of social and cultural functions, such as individual, occupational and sexual differentiation, and social status.^[1] A uniform , for example, may identify civil authority figures, such as police and military personnel, or it may identify team, group or political affiliations. In many societies, norms about clothing reflect standards of modesty , religion , gender , and social status . Clothing may also function as a form of adornment and an expression of personal taste or style.
Throughout history, many materials have been used for clothes. Materials have ranged from leather and furs, to weaved and woven materials, to elaborate and exotic natural and synthetic fabrics. Recent scientific research estimates that humans have been wearing clothing for as long as 650,000 years.^[2] Others claim that clothing probably did not originate until the Neolithic Age (the "New Stone Age").^[^{citation needed]}
Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses), worn on a single part of the body and easily removed (scarves), worn purely for adornment (jewellery), or those that serve a function other than protection (eyeglasses), are normally considered accessories rather than clothing.
