Reserve 9 spears; set aside. Coarsely chop remaining asparagus; set aside. Unfold piecrusts; stack on a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 14-inch circle. Fit piecrust into an 11-inch tart pan, trimming excess dough. Line piecrust with foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place tart

I’ve had a couple of requests for this recipe and I think it’s something that everyone needs to try once! Don’t let the main ingredient fool you, this is one of my all-time favorite desserts! This is a pie that my mom used to make and we grew up calling it “Frog Pie.” We would never tell our friends that the pie was made from an avocado. For whatever reason, “Frog Pie” sounded more appetizing than “Avocado Pie” to the other kids! T
While most of us have sung about figgy pudding since our kindergarten Christmas pageants, my guess is that most of us have never eaten the treat, maybe even have never laid eyes on it. We don't have much of a Christmas pudding tradition in America, but the way I see it, now — a week before the holiday — is the perfect time to start a pudding revolution and make up for our lapse. Figgy pudding — aka plum pudding, plum porridge, Christmas pudding and steamed puddin
A Saudi man bought a cheese pie to kill his hunger and was about to enjoy the first bite before he abruptly stopped and stared in disbelief at the cockroach that was stuffed in. The unnamed man bought the pie from a bakery in the capital Riyadh and it was wrapped in a plastic bag that concealed the insect. “Just before he was about to put it in his mouth, he saw the cockroach,” Sabq Arabic language newspaper said. “He too
I find that there are two things that make this apple pie the best on the web. First, it has a delicious, homemade crust. The secret behind the crust is that it consists of both shortening and butter. This gives it the crumbliness of a shortening crust along with the flakiness of a butter crust. Next is its delicious filling. The first thing you will taste is the sweet vinegar and cinnamon coating; then, as this melts away in your
American way, apple pie is a johnny-come-lately, a usurper, a pale pretender to its pastry throne. The phrase as American as apple pie is of 20th-century origin and didn't attain wide currency until the 1940s. Perhaps not coincidentally, the 40s are also when mince pie went into eclipse as our defining national dish. But to its 19th- and early-20th-century admirers, mince pie was "unquestionably the monarch of pies," "the great American
Whether it's dressed up in pumpkin shells or topped with bourbon whipped cream, pecan pie is that irresistibly sweet dessert everyone loves to eat around Thanksgiving. Its sweet, gooey crunch is the perfect way to end a savory meal. Try the classic Southern pecan pie recipe here, or experiment with one of the other addictive variations the next time your dish is dessert.
There's a new sherrif in town.
Somehow I had missed this thread before--really nice work here. FYI--I can do some voice work if someone really needs it. I used to make radio commercials and did my own audio editing. So if you need an extra voice for variety or something let me know (I walk around all the time doing voices in real life--drive thru's are always epic--I can have the entire store packed in the little window waiting to see "who that guy is") [e digicons]B)[/e] I'm not evil..
Cool. Any help appreciated and no worry on time. I'm trying to build a sort of prefab library of effects I can use for mod ideas and this is one I'd like to have. Looking forward to seeing the poc--thanks much! (this is the other me). [e digicons]O:)[/e]
FYI--with the recent beta I could not mount Distant Stars. Game would say it got an unusual call to stop and would shut down. I am able to load Celestial Bodies and I have used it and your mod in the previous beta versions. ...and NOW I note the above post. [e digicons]:X[/e]
Giving the AI Ogrevs and the like when encountering SBs would be a start.
On the plus side, it loads faster for me than the last beta.
Ya'll know Ironclad and Stardock are actually businesses yes?
How would we live without drama?
Good info
[quote] Edit; sorry Ryat is Correct, you can colonize them but they do need to be colonised. Also the appropriate planetry upgrades may be needed. [/quote] I have had them already colonized at the start and maybe that is the problem. Normally though they are a logistical structure and Dead Asteroids have no logistical slots. Unfortunately, I can't place a structure at an uncolonized world though I could abandon it with the structures still intact and
Ah--it does require modding. Thanks guys...that does clear it up. I thought you could simply add the Star Base Constructor and Envoy ship in like any other with a map template. I created a campaign style map with vanilla Sins and halfway through it, Entrenchment came out. So I retooled and then Diplomacy was released. As a result, I added to player positions for the AI so that Diplomatic considerations would be in play--but I didn't want two AI's butting in mil
Anyone with insight into this would love to hear it.
As the leader of the clueless, I thank you.
Let me know if it works--I would like to check it out. That's an intersting effect for a planet.
What are the item names to use in a scenario template for them? I've been guessing from the entity files but I get no spawns at planets where the templates are applied. Is the tech required to be researched for them to appear? (that's not the case for other items). So I am guessing I am using the wrong name or else not aware of an issue. Thanks for any help. On a related note, I have gotten broadcast towers to spawn at dead asteroid worlds--yet they do
Excellent job. I have downloaded all the others and none of them worked properly for me--crashes, conversions but no actual file changes or creation, etc. This one worksb great and is a true gui (even though I am an old net hack I really don't like command line when avoidable). I am 32 bit XP--I assumed you'd know but you are correct. Keep up the good work--very smooth and no glitches.
Good job on getting those reports in guys--and go devs! I love when a plan comes together.
I ran it earlier today right after posting this and had an issue with Xp showing "Sins not installed properly". I downloaded the revision and it works perfectly as designed (just be sure to specify the Sins version before conversion). I did a simple entity file from Sins to a Desktop folder and then re-converted that file from the folder to desktop--no problems at all. Great job and a fast fix!
