Suggestions For Cambro And Other Washware Manufacturers

During the last few weeks, I noticed that there are times, when we prefer to stack dish trays. The benefit of doing this is being able to use the top tray to hold down lighter items, like metal ramekins.

It seems wise to me, to make those half trays capable of stacking on half of the full sized trays, so that if I only have half a tray of ramekins, then I can use the other half for larger items, like bowls, glasses, or dishes. The sides of the half sized trays will still have a lip for the tray to stack on to other trays, but it will make them much more compatible with full sized trays.

The only way to do it is to remove the bottom corner edges, so that the corners can sit over the middle of the full sized tray. For example, I would like to use HFR258 on top of PR314.

This is especially beneficial for small dishwashers that can only take 1 tray at a time.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Translation Tools From Chinese To English

Lately, I have been trying to translate Chinese characters to English. Unfortunately, the characters are in an image, so I could not copy and paste the text into a translator.

I have found that Google Translate seems to be the best for translating. I recommend opening another tab of Google Translate, so that you can translate little phrases in the first tab, and then form the sentence in another, by copying and pasting the correct Chinese characters. I like Google Translate the best, because it gives us the opportunity to actually write in the Chinese character stroke by stroke. Entering in certain Chinese characters any other way can very difficult.

It is nice to have this page available, too.

Unfortunately, the audio pronunciations of these translators do not work with Opera web browser, as far as I can tell.

I will update this blog post, if I find other pages.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Me, Suicide, Amanda Todd

I felt suicidal in 2010, and a good friend "made" me go for treatment. Good call!

With all this hype about Amanda Todd, you would think that I would be sympathetic towards her, but all of this only makes me want to scream and kill myself.

All of "you" seem like such heartless drones. I talking directly to the bullies and the people who think that they care.

To the bullies, I can't even understand you. If I was allowed to kill you, then I would look at it as a positive opportunity for growth. After all, we need to do something about it, and hopefully, we can become desensitized to the idea of defending ourselves and the community from abuse. I can understand a school fight or treating others badly, but there comes a time, when you need to just stopping following people around and belittling them. It's kind of hard for you to understand, isn't it?

That being said, I think that Amanda made out with somebody's boyfriend. She walked into that.

To the sympathizers, I can't understand you either. I understand that we don't want others to feel sad and we don't want others to kill themselves, but honestly, what do you really care? Did you do anything before hand? The good Samaritan was good, because he *did* something. It is amazing that with all of the time that we had as a community, nobody seemed to respond. The bullies found her everywhere she went. Why did you not find her? Perhaps finding her would be too invasive.

I think that we have stumbled onto the root of the problem. The "good" people don't want to do what it takes to protect the community. You guys are aligned with the bad guys, because the bad guys got what they wanted, and you guys were powerless to stop it.

If I recall correctly, when I was feeling suicidal, I often thought about what could anybody do to help me? The answer is "Nothing.". Perhaps you could talk me out of it, or point to a solution to my problems, but honestly, a brochure could do the same thing.

Doing nothing seems to be a part of the root of the problem, also. It's that dark underbelly of the beast that we don't want to look at. As a result, we try to ignore it. Instinctively, we know that we won't get what we want by ignoring it, so we try to solve our problems in another way. It's society's way of feeling better about its castration.

We certainly must punish the bullies, but why is there no mention about her parents? How did they raise her? She thought that she was safe flashing her boobs? I don't get it. I haven't looked into this story too much, but I don't recall anybody saying that she needed to be wiser about her privacy. Why was she even on Facebook anymore? Why is nobody saying that they learned from her mistakes about privacy?

I think that the people who made me the most angry are the people who believe that they are friends of Amanda, even though they never knew her. Liars. I can assure that if I killed myself, then people who don't know me showed me no friendship. It's not complex.

I also dislike people who don't support preventative maintenance. The world is a scary place. Why are you letting people believe that it's all butterflies and roses? If you really want to help people to protect their innocence, then you would be wise to train your kids and friends and their kids to recognize evil and to protect themselves.

This whole world of tolerance is what keeps the figurative doors unlocked in unsafe neighbourhoods, while safe neighbourhoods become the opposite. Thanks, tolerant people!

I Have Schizotypal Disorder Or Asperger's Syndrome

I visited the walk-in clinic doctor today, and it turns out that the psychiatrist that I visited a while back, did make a diagnosis for Asperger's Syndrome. The psychiatrist wrote that I have a schizotypal disorder or a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome.

The next step is to get a bit of counselling, so that we can correct any major weaknesses, and focus on my strengths.

I must say that this painful news is bad, but it is also a relief, because now that there is a label attached to me, I feel like I can start trying to correct things.

How To Measure Feet

Whether you are a teen looking for a job in retail, or an adult looking for a new pair of wingtips, you will want to know how to measure feet, using that nifty device found in shoe stores. It is especially important for people buying children's shoes, because having the right measurements for children will give the children shoes to grow into.

I discovered that the device for measuring feet is called a Brannock Device. Brannock Device Co. Inc. has given us all the necessary instructions on how to use each feature of the Brannock Device, to give your customers the best fit.

Please Be Careful With Our Garbage

People might wonder what the big deal is about releasing helium balloons into the sky. After all, it is such an emotional thing to do in memory of dead people.

The problem is much of our debris kills and hurts animals for a long time. The good responsible Christian thing for freedom loving people to do is always dispose of our things in the proper garbages or proper facilities. We are supposed to be good stewards of the planet.

Women, Men, And Weddings

If women really loved men, then the women should be willing to give up an expensive wedding to be with the guy.

My Desktop Computer Works Again

Yesterday, I managed to get it working by replacing the memory sticks. Because I earned this while volunteering with Freegeek, they gladly replaced the memory sticks for free.

It is such a relief, since I am not well off. It is good to be using the computer again.

I took a look at a saved web browser session, and it seems that I have not used this since Jan. 9, 2011. It's hard to believe that I have been using my laptop for so long. It's amazing how we can become so used to something. Time begins to fly, and the next thing we know, we have wasted so much time.

I Stopped Fasting

I gave up fasting on Friday morning, because I gave up on waiting for a decent source of income. I am starting to think that I need to wait a while for better opportunities. I plan to see a career counselor. In the mean time, I will keep writing, and I will start learning Silverlight.

On a positive note, I made about $160 on the stock market, this week.

I Started Fasting

It is more of a personal hunger strike, than a spiritual/religious activity. I am a little bit upset about my lack of work, so I intend to not eat, until I find a decent source of income. The last time that I ate was on April 5, 2011, at supper. I might have eaten sunflower seeds after.

Tonight, I had a pint of Guinness beer, and that is all that I have taken in that wasn't pure water. I do not recall ever fasting for so long.

Here is an interesting article for those of us who want to create images that appear to be random, but do not require that the images actually be random.

Free WHMIS Certification And Training

Usually, WHMIS is taught after hiring, but often times, prospective employers require that we have this training and certification before applying for work. Not having it can really eliminate a lot of great job opportunities.

I found free WHMIS training and certification. I think that it took me less than an hour. Other web sites seem to only give you free training, and make you pay for the certification.

Golden Spoon: A New Frozen Yogurt Store In Surrey, Richmond, And Coquitlam

It seems like we will not have to suffer without our own frozen yogurt store. Now that Yogen Fruz has pulled out without giving us any news, I hope to check out Golden Spoon.

If you have tried it, then let me know what you think. I am a bit concerned about the taste. I think that their strawberry frozen yogurt might not have that strong, but approachable, sour taste.

Postal Workers Work Hard Too

Some US postal workers shared 11 difficulties and successes of their jobs. I found it very fascinating. Now that I have read through the list, I have a lot more respect for them, Canadian postal workers, in the same way that I have respect for other public servants. What they have to put up with is amazing.

Yogen Fruz At Central City Didn't Renew Contract

Yogen Fruz's site confirms it. They did more for Central City Shopping Centre, than the mall did for them, I think. I'm very sad to see them go. I'm upset that they have not kept in touch with their customers. I consider that to be very poor customer service. I also blame the mall for not working harder with them, to keep them here. Read the remainder of the blog entry for alternative Yogen Fruz locations, and to share your alternative favourite frozen yogurt brands.

Status Of Yogen Fruz At Central City Still Unchanged

I phoned Yogen Fruz, at Central City on Jan. 31, 2011. Their phone number does not seem to work. I also phoned Central City. They are still not open, and there is still no new information about whether they will reopen or close. At least, there is still a chance.

I sent an email to the company, sent a message to their Twitter account, and left a message on their Facebook wall. I will keep you updated. I have a feeling that they will not respond, though.

Yogen Fruz At Central City Still Not Open But Still Not Closed

I went to Central City on Jan. 26, 2011, and since I was already there, I checked in with customer service. They are still not open, and there is still no new information about whether they will reopen or close. At least, there is still a chance.

Yogen Fruz At Central City Not Open

I love Yogen Fruz. So, when I went to downtown Surrey, this past Thursday, and dropped resumes off at the mall, I was so disappointed that I could not treat myself to some strawberry frozen yogurt. I asked the customer service centre about it, and the lady said that the mall does not know what is happening. They heard that Yogen Fruz had problems with the city of Surrey. Hopefully, they will come back into full swing. I mention all of this, so that you could be warned, if you intend to go there for a treat.
