DALIAN, China — Chinese dairy producer Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group is spending $80 million to purchase nearly all of Chomthana, Thailand’s leading ice cream maker, expanding into Southeast Asia in a bid to offset a stagnant home market.

But just as it was all coming together, New Line ceased to exist as an autonomous studio. In 2008, its distribution operations were absorbed by parent company Warner Bros. And the guy who was then running Warners, Jeff Robinov, didn’t want to make an N.W.A movie for more than $15 million. The prevailing wisdom at that time was that movies about African-Americans didn’t play well overseas. Cube told Robinov where he could put his $15 million. "It wouldn’t be worth doing," he says of New Line’s budget. "We wouldn’t be giving the project the justice it needs."

That said, sometimes it can be too much. One Christmas I over-ordered and had so much food in the fridge that I didn’t know where to start. Fortunately, we gave plenty away to friends and family, and you can freeze most things: that way, you won’t get sick of having the same thing day…

Without your TLC, they’ll suffer from all sorts of preventable maladies. Luckily, many issues are preventable, and with a little work, you’ll keep your machine happy and humming along for years.

‘But although people are still buying smart home devices in relatively small numbers, and mainly for control of their thermostats or lighting at the moment, we are seeing huge interest in other devices like smart doorbells and locks.

Samsung’s interactive ‘kitchen of the future’ includes an oven, washing machine, TV and a coffee table. All of the firm’s household products can be controlled by a smartphone. This means you could remotely set your oven to pre-heat while on the way home

In addition to Dari Mart stores, Lochmead ice creams can be found at a handful of local grocers including Market of Choice’s Eugene locations. And while the retail price (typically $5.99 at Dari Mart) might reflect a premium over many other ice-cream brands, it also reflects Lochmead’s locavore quality and sustainable pedigree. Plus, Lochmead is one of the only ice cream makers that still sells true half-gallon (64-ounce) containers rather than the 56- or even 48-ounce packages that have become the retail norm.

The gadgets will expand and evolve, but they are only a cure for the symptom rather than the heart of the problem. Soon, the entire housing and property industry will be turned on its head as more people need space that simply isn’t available in certain areas. Getting creative with interior design and creating new types of buildings for people to occupy are already big jobs on the horizon. For now, people are having to make do with what they have while the property industry tries to figure out affordable and comfortable living arrangements of the future.

Such engraved ice is still a rarity in Las Vegas. But given the competitive nature of our cocktail scene, expect to see it more frequently.

For home bartenders, a Lewis bag and a wooden mallet will give you a fun way to work out any mid-party aggression, while the bag absorbs any excess water. If you don’t have those, a dish towel and a meat tenderizer will do. If you’re having a party and don’t want to stand behind a hammer all day, head to Sonic. Yes, the drive-in. They use Scotsman ice machines that make that pebble ice bartenders love. They’ll sell you a bag for a couple of bucks. Castro, who clued us in to this method, likes their ice for keeping the drink-making — and the party — going strong.

Most of the work was completed over the weekend by university crews at the 168 buildings on campus, he said. Hallway water fountains and stand-alone ice machines have been put back into service. "Housing and dining (employees) have taken care of all the things they were going to do," Johnson said.
