Looking for something to give that foodie friend who's kitchen is already well-stocked? Here are some cool gear, cookbooks and ingredients that even the craftiest food preservation enthusiast will cherish.
1. Plastic-free Food Storage and Freezer Containers
Made of glass and food grade stainless steel, these attractive, plastic-free containers can go from the freezer to the stovetop. They are a healthier alternative BPA-containing plastic containers.
2. Tattler Re-useable Canning Lids
Unlike the commonly available Mason canning lids, Tattler canning lids are re-useable and BPA-free. They will be greatly appreciated by anyone who cans food on a regular basis.
3. Italian Quattro Stagioni Canning Jars and Lids
Quattro Stagioni canning jars and lids are becoming almost as widely available as the more familiar Ball Mason and Kerr jars. Although different in jar shape, lid type and canning process, these jars and lids are easy to use and do perform well. Their lids are also BPA-free.
4. Excalibur Economy Model Food Dehydrator
This small dehydrator may be perfect for you if you are looking for something affordable that doesn't take up a lot of space in your home.
5. Harsch Fermenting Crock
Harsch fermenting crocks (also called sauerkraut crocks) are intended to be used to pickle foods using lacto-fermentation. This method of preserving food is the same one that gives us traditional sauerkraut, dill cucumber pickles, and kimchi. It is also one of the easiest and most time-tested methods of safely, deliciously, and healthfully preserving foods.
The simple but effective design of Harsch crocks allows natural gasses that develop during fermentation to escape while simultaneously preventing harmful molds from reaching the food while it is fermenting.
6. Pomona's Universal Pectin
Pomona's Universal Pectin consists of two ingredients that work together to gel jams and jellies with or without added sugar. The main ingredient is a low methoxyl pectin powder made from citrus peels. The pectin powder (different from most other commercial powdered pectins) works in conjunction with calcium powder to thicken the preserves. The result is that you can get a good gel from low pectin fruits even without adding sugar.
7. Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning
This is one of my all-time favorite food preservation books. The long title - Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning: Traditional Techniques Using Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol, Vinegar, Drying, Cold Storage, and Lactic Fermentation - makes it clear that it doesn't include a single canning recipe or tip on freezing foods. What it does include is a wealth of time-tested recipes that are low tech, delicious, and easy for anyone to follow.
8. Putting Food By 5th Edition
This is the book I take down from the shelf when I need to double-check how long to process something in a boiling water bath or pressure canner. It's also a great easy look up for information such as how many canning jars 2 pounds of peaches will fill, or how long green beans need to be blanched before they are frozen.

Riley tackle them one at time to reduce stress.
I took my baby out for a drive and night of entertainment last night. Just to let her know I haven't forgotten her while I am driving a blue oval POC for my work.
The E450 is the hardest driving vehicle I have ever driven. Of course it has something to do with lack of a true maintenance program. the company stays up on fluids , but refuses to get an alignment when installing new tires. Also with over 300,000 miles on the vehicle it still has the original shocks, or at least the skeletons. Airbags are great for supporting the heavy box , if they hold air. They don't. Fix ? Nah other vehicles don't have them so no big deal.
Oil pressure gauge not working, but they won't replace or repair. DOT violation? Hmmm

Changed the alternator back to stock hoping to eliminate a whining engine. Didn't work so I took it to a shop where I recently had the transmission done and they said it was the idler pully. I bought the assembly and the pully by itself, just in case. Got the pully off the mount and installed the new pully and put the HD alternator back on. Returned pully assembly, test drove , laid rubber, parked it.

I had little idea what to expect when I arrived at EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) for my interview on Mother Angelica Live. From previous broadcasts I knew my host could be direct and acerbic on the subject of the Church. But I wasn't prepared for the woman I met, especially her humor, savvy, subtlety, and penetrating insight into the spiritual life.
Mother Angelica is made of something as tough as the steel she leans on. This Poor Clare nun from Ohio has single-handedly built a multimillion-dollar television and radio complex on the outskirts of Birmingham, Alabama, and created one of the most successful, influential Catholic broadcasting networks in the world.

Keywords: Mother M Angelica, EWTN, Deal W Hudson, Catholic heroes
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - (Note From the Editor in Chief: We offer Dr Deal Hudsons experience upon first meeting one of the great, historic figures in American Catholic history, Mother M. Angelica. It is a reprint from a past article published in Crisis magazine which Dr. Hudson he once served. We hope it is becomes the first in a series of articles calling attention to some of the greatest Catholic leaders of this new missionary age)
She walks so slowly on her crutches she seems fragile, an impression that doesn't last for very long. Mother Angelica is made of something as tough as the steel she leans on. This Poor Clare nun from Ohio has single-handedly built a multimillion-dollar television and radio complex on the outskirts of Birmingham, Alabama, and created one of the most successful, influential Catholic broadcasting networks in the world.
I had little idea what to expect when I arrived at EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) for my interview on Mother Angelica Live. From previous broadcasts I knew my host could be direct and acerbic on the subject of the Church. But I wasn't prepared for the woman I met, especially her humor, savvy, subtlety, and penetrating insight into the spiritual life.
In the course of my new editorial duties at Crisis I have gone for advice to many top business executives. Mother Angelica could stand toe-to-toe with any of them. She possesses an incisiveness that makes one wish for perfect recall, because some of the best things she says are off-camera.
I complained during the interview about the preaching one typically hears at Masses in this country. Then, feeling awkward about the priests who might be listening to the broadcast, I asked her if I was being "too hard." Her reply brought hearty laughter from everyone in the studio, and relief to me - "You can't be too hard on this program!"
Later, in the studio's kitchen where everyone gathers for good-byes, after Mother personally greets nearly everyone in the audience, we continued to talk about preaching. Mother talked to me about the Cure d'Ars, what a weak preacher he was, but how multitudes of people would come to his Masses and line up at his confessional. Instantly I knew why I had been uncomfortable with my comments about preaching: the problem with my criticism wasn't its harshness, it was simply misplaced.
The sacramental worship of the Catholic Church mercifully removes the spotlight from the celebrant as a brilliant rhetorician or even a charismatic personality. It frees the celebrant to be precisely that, one who celebrates the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This is one of the central reasons I was first drawn to the Church, and it took an encounter with Mother Angelica to remind me of it. Old habits, as they say, die hard.
Meeting Mother Angelica has that kind of effect on people. Spend an afternoon talking to the people who work with her and it is difficult not to be infected with a certain back-to-basics euphoria. From the remarkable president of EWTN Bill Steltemeier, through the producers, to the radio technician who gave me the tour of WEWN, their mountain-top radio station, everyone I met was cheerfully devoted to Mother and the cause of EWTN. From Ohio and New Jersey, and across the South and Southwest, they have come to work for Mother, all of them sharing her belief that "God will provide."
Anyone who watched EWTN's coverage of the pope's visit to the U.S. or listened to it on WEWN will appreciate the network's possibilities, including the 24-hour AM/FM that is soon to follow. EWTN's reporters and commentators simply outclassed and outcovered everyone else.
Plans are under way to televise the pope's upcoming visit to South America. When I asked Bill Steltemeier about the cost of broadcasting all those hours from another continent, including the costs of translation, he told me story after story of launching projects well in advance of raising the necessary capital. The words "Mother says" are their only business plan.
It is no accident EWTN has sprung up and taken root in the South. Its tone, like its founder, is enthusiastic and evangelical; no attempt to be the urbane, detached cosmopolitan here - just two-fisted Catholic intelligence reminding people to take full advantage of the grace they have been given.
As I was getting ready to leave for the airport, I looked out the window of the Madonna House where I was staying to see one of the extern sisters, fully draped in her traditional habit, walking down this suburban Alabama street carrying a huge yellow gladiola. I couldn't help but wonder if sights like these had become such a commonplace in this predominately Protestant neighborhood that the neighbors had stopped noticing them. I hope not.
I found in that image something that captured the core of Mother Angelica's ministry: she has brought an old-style Catholicism to the heartland of America. Her viewers aren't simply responding to the firmness of her pre-conciliar tone, which they surely appreciate, but they can also see the flower in her upraised hand. This flower represents the beauty and the joy of the Church she celebrates without apology.

News Release
---- —
Terre Haute North Vigo High School students will present an original black box-style theater production of "Speak Now" at 6:30 p.m. on May 9 at the school's auditorium.
"Speak Now," a play written by senior Kasy Long, begins with a classic setting of a simple wedding. The bride walks down the aisle and greets her eager groom. However, when the preacher comes to the classic wedding line, "Speak now or forever hold your peace," an unexpected visitor interrupts the festivities with a shocking announcement.
The visitor is the innocent Samantha Loveless, being played by Long. She is best friends with the bride, Kate Shaws (senior Emily Ferrell), and their friendship is tested throughout the course of the story as tensions rise on stage.
"I always envisioned a story with someone interrupting a wedding and causing a huge scene," Long said. "I am really looking forward to seeing how the audience reacts to an original idea that's put on stage in front of a live audience."
Supporting cast members include AJ Contramaestre as Greg Williams, Jared Wells as Ben Adams, Dario Stephens as Jacob Shaws, Nicole Heath as Dr. Walker and Denise Loveless and Austin Faulds as Mr. Peterson.
The show is free and open to the public.
According to Wikipedia, black box theater "consists of a simple, somewhat unadorned performance space, usually a large square room with black walls and a flat floor. It is a relatively recent innovation in theatre."

I seek change that creates investment opportunities for my readers
On Monday, Samsung made a 5G announcement promising download of 3D movies in seconds. Samsung did the most masterful job of spinning a test for the maximum public relations impact that I have seen in a long time. Samsung served up such a sumptuous treat to the media who seem fascinated by technology. Obviously many media people are not engineers and as such may not have the background to know the right questions to ask.
The announcement first caught my eye when it was reported by South Korea's Yonhap News Agency . Subsequently Samsung stated that its new 5G technology will provide transmission rates of several hundred times faster than 4G.
Here is why Samsung's announcement is a hyperbole.
Samsung deserves credit for working on new high speed technologies. As I wrote yesterday such developments may pose risk to Apple. New developments may also pose risks for Qualcomm Qualcomm. The rest of the Google Google Android phone manufacturers, BlackBerry, and Nokia Nokia will simply license new technologies.

Chronicle correspondent
This week, the Big Orange fans spent the week trying to decipher what happened last Saturday night. It all started deep in the third quarter, with the good guys up by a touchdown and having just stopped a fake punt in Gator territory. Then something went horribly wrong on Rocky Top.
When the dust cleared, the Vols were the recipients of a 37-20 loss to Florida. The team wearing orange in the end resembled more of the team we saw in Lexington last season than the team riding high leaving Atlanta a few weeks ago. Coach Derek Dooley says there is plenty of time to fix what went wrong.
I understand that this defense is a work in progress, with misalignment and mistakes being a part of the learning curve. When you add the Gators' speed and athleticism to that equation, you have the recipe for disaster.
Talk about a game turning quickly, how about seven plays in about three minutes (two of which covered over 150 yards) and 21 points accounting for just about half of the Gators' 550 yards of total offense. Wow! Tennessee won the other 57 minutes played, but lost in a rout.
Those that jumped off the "Dooley Bandwagon" this week might have been a bit premature. The significance of this loss and the NC State win will not be totally understood until later in the season. The games played in October will be a deciding factor in this team's ultimate legacy. They are still on track to have a decent season, but their margin for error becomes less with each loss. (I might add, so does the head coach's tenure.)
This week, the Akron Zips will bring their air show to Knoxville. They will feature a team that has had trouble moving the ball on the ground and have relied on a prolific passing attack for their offense. Conversely, they have had little success stopping the opposition's ground attack. Sounds like it could be a good time for Tennessee to work on a running game and find out how the loss of Brian Randolph (ACL) is going to effect the secondary going forward.
The game last week pointed out more than defensive problems. The offense ground to a stop late in the third quarter. Bray was not having his best night before then and was lucky his inconsistent play had not cost the Vols earlier. This offense has become too dependant on one individual and because of that, they will remain vulnerable to having another collapse down the road.
The running and kicking is still a major concern, with both still struggling for consistency. Another missed PAT last Saturday brings the total to three for the season.
At least for now, it appears the short yardage concerns were answered with a little help from the other side of the ball. Linebacker A.J. Johnson was effective in running the wildcat and should see more opportunities as the season progresses.
Meanwhile, our friend Jim Butler is certainly elated with a high powered offense that destroyed their opponent last week. But not so fast there, Jim, that was Presbyterian! Let's see how things go in Athens this weekend. It would be nice; however, if the 'Dores could soften the 'Dawgs up for the Vols' upcoming visit.
Going into this year's season, most of the reasonable predictions for the Vols were for records of 7-5 and 8-4. Saturday's loss did nothing to effect those predictions, but it has made the fan base a little less optimistic. This team has an inferior foe to take care of tomorrow night if they want to enter October 3-1. No hype and no College Game Day this weekend; just time to show maturity and take care of business. Go Vols!

Those who have applied for a Firearm Owners Identification Card may have a very long wait, according to the Illinois State Police.
"The number of applications has dramatically increased over the last few years," said ISP Sgt. Matt Boerwinkle of the Firearms Service Bureau of the ISP. "When you compound that with the volume of calls that come in every day wanting to know the status of the cards, the amount of work continues to increase."
The pre-recorded message when calling the Firearms Service Bureau says it all, "The current FOID card processing time is over 60 days."
Lynn Sandusky of Sandusky's License Notary Service, said he tracked the card of one of his customers just last week.
"The check for the card was issued on Nov. 3," Sandusky said. "The state didn't even cash it until Dec. 6, then the state said it would take at least another 30 days to clear the card after the check was cashed."
According to ISP FOID section, the application is checked, and a background check conducted on each applicant. The Web site for the bureau states that "due to the large volume of firearm-related questions, please allow 30 days from the date your check cleared the bank before inquiring about the status of your FOID application."
That's before you call the bureau and hear the 60-day notification.
The ISP reports there are 1.4 million FOID card holders through November and in 2012, there were 338,614 FOID applications received, amounting to a 5.4 percent increase over 2011. In 2012, there were 6,452 applications denied, and 4,811 FOID cards revoked, according to ISP.
"The amount of people I've seen wanting FOID cards has tripled," Sandusky said. "People are terrified of losing their rights to have a gun."
Sandusky said if those who have applied for a FOID have not received a notice or phone call from ISP about their application within three weeks of their checks for the card being cashed, there is no problem with the card — it's just the state being slow in issuing them.
"They must verify the information on the application form within three weeks," Sandusky explained. "If you don't get a response from them in the three weeks, there is no problem, it just takes the rest of the time for the state to issue the card. Unfortunately, there's no faster way of doing it."
According to the ISP, there are other reasons a card could be delayed or returned. The top five stated by the bureau is the application not signed, the U.S. Citizenship question not marked, IL Driver's license or state ID number not provided, question boxes not marked yes or no and the $10 fee was not included with the application.
Anyone who has not received a FOID card after application and within 60 days of the fee check being cashed may call the ISP FOID section at 217-782-7980 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Michal Neuvirth was the star of the night Friday at New Jersey as the Capitals rookie goalie made 33 stops to record his fourth shutout of the season. It didn't matter that his teammates mustered only 12 shots, because Neuvirth outdueled future Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur.
In fact, he dominated.
"He was pretty good. You could tell he wanted it," coach Bruce Boudreau told reporters at Prudential Center afterward. "Let's face it, early on he was a difference. The whole game he was the difference."
But as much as the talk afterward was about Neuvirth making his statement to be "the man" in net for the Caps when the playoffs start, Boudreau said each of his goaltenders will get to prove his worth. That includes Semyon Varlamov, who's working his way back from an injury.
"We just keep going on. Varly's gonna get his chance next week, and we'll see where it goes," Boudreau told reporters.
The Caps play three games in the next week-plus: at Philadelphia on Tuesday, at Ottawa on Friday and at Montreal on Saturday.
Let's not forget that Braden Holtby was the NHL's first star of the week and hasn't lost since being called back up from Hershey.
Is it conceivable that all three goalies will get a start on the second leg of the road trip? Boudreau might not be giving up that sort of information yet.

A Sarasota man who has found himself in court frequently on criminal charges was arrested Tuesday on grand theft, drug and fleeing to elude police charges.
Frank Felix, 35, had showed up to his boss' home on Nov. 30 to buy his 2000 silver Mercedes CLK 320. His boss allowed Felix to take the luxury car for a test drive and expected him to return it to the home to complete the sale, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
Several hours passed and the employer didn't hear back from Felix, and Felix didn't report to work the next day.
On Tuesday, sheriff's deputies spotted Felix, of 3847 Nottingham Drive, Sarasota driving the car near 35th Street and North Orange Avenue and attempted to pull the car over. Felix sped off, leading the deputy on a pursuit from Goodrich Avenue to 32nd Street, over to southbound U.S. 301, running red lights, and striking a speed bump on 29th Street that caused the car to launch into the air and crash down on to the pavement, causing damage to the right side of the car, according to the affidavit.
Felix bailed out of the car near 31st Street and Leon Avenue, fled on foot, and was struck by a Taser deployed by a deputy. Still Felix got up and ran into a wooded area, prompting authorities to set a perimeter that also included K9 and the Air 1 helicopter, according to the affidavit.
A Sarasota Police Department officer took Felix into custody following the search, according to the affidavit.
While searching the Mercedes, law enforcement found a large jewelry box reported stolen in a Manatee County burglary along with a crow bar, according to the affidavit. He is also suspected in other burglaries in the Sarasota and Manatee county area, according to the sheriff's office.
Felix faces the following charges:
- Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle,
- Aggravated Fleeing to Elude,
- Resisting Arrest without Violence,
- Possession of Drug Paraphernalia,
- Possession of Burglary Tools and
- two counts of Violation of Probation.
Felix has a long list of charges over the past two years including dealing stolen property, fraud, drug possession, burglary and driving on a suspended license.
Felix is being held without bond for violating probation, and bond was set for $16,510 on the remaining charges, according to the sheriff's office. The investigation is continuing.

Most of us have a credit card but few of us actually make these handy pieces of plastic work as effectively for our own benefit as we could. The fact is that, managed correctly, credit cards can provide a whole raft of benefits above and beyond the convenience of credit spending and extra protection when ordering online.
However, for most people, the reality is credit-card debt brought about by poor financial management. As soon as you find yourself with credit-card debt, that piece of plastic is working for the provider and not for you. In such instances, it is best to look for balance-transfer cards at zero per cent to pay off the balance, get organized and start again.
If you have good credit and pay off your balance each month, however, some of these cards are well worth investigating. Let's take a closer look at the cards which can work for you.
Balance-Transfer Cards
If you have an existing balance there are many credit cards with zero-per-cent interest applied for a fixed term, or a low interest level for the life of that balance. Compare these to the standard interest rates for outstanding credit balances of 25% and more and you can see the benefit. These are ideal for people with existing balances that they want to clear and also for people who want to buy a large item and spread the payment out over a period of time. For some, this approach can be cheaper than taking out a personal loan. You can even transfer the balance over to a new zero or low interest rate credit card when the promotional period ends and continue to benefit. Just remember that there are usually fees involved for the transfer of a balance, usually around 3% of the outstanding amount. It's also very important not to spend on these credit cards. However, used well and carefully, the benefits to the customer can be tremendous.
Cash Back and Reward Cards
These are varied but some cards offer points on groceries and store shopping, some offer Air miles and others offer cash back, which can be as much as 5% for an introductory period on any purchases that you make. You might even find that additional benefits are included, such as free travel insurance or mobile phone insurance. Other card providers will guarantee any products bought with their card, which can provide extra piece of mind. Do your research and look around for the best offers and deals and always remember to read the small print. You might even be able to achieve even more savings if you buy online via a cashback site using a cash back card. It all adds up over time.
Credit-Repair Cards
These are excellent if you have struggled with credit in the past and you need to improve your rating. You simply need to take out a credit-repair card, use it for your spending and make sure that you make your repayments on time, without fail, every month. This will rapidly repair your credit rating and help you to become eligible for better credit deals in the future.
Find the Right Cards
There are hundreds of credit cards on the market and the best deals change regularly. Keep an eye on the top performers and compare the features and benefits on offer at Money Super Market. You'll be able to make your choice and then apply directly online via the link.

"Our mission [is] building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke...," Alloway said. "By joining the fight against heart disease and stroke, you can help save so many lives, and it's never too late."

Funding for Flintshire teen's rare condition
The family of Phoebe Bruce say that she has been awarded the funding so that she can see a specialist to deal with her condition.
Phoebe's mother Yvonne was told about the decision by the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee last night.
Last week, Phoebe told ITV Wales about her struggle with Elhers-Danos syndrome, a genetic condition caused by a defect in the body's protein collagen.
The family are continuing to raise money to help pay for their accommodation in the event that they have to travel to London for Phoebe's treatment.

The shootout intelligence was good, of course.
But you can crunch the numbers, listen to a successful teammate and in the end, it comes down to a split-second decision and maybe even a quick change of heart.
That's what happened with center Anze Kopitar on Sunday when he scored the decider in the shootout to give the Kings a 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers at Staples Center.
The Kings peppered Oilers' goaltender Richard Bachman, who was recalled from the minors earlier in the day, with a season-high 48 shots on goal, but they only got one past him in regulation.
BOX SCORE: Kings 2, Oilers 1 (SO)
Mike Richards and Kopitar managed to beat him in the shootout, and Kings goalie Jonathan Quick stopped David Perron and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in the second and third rounds. Nugent-Hopkins shot wide on his attempt.
The Kings are now 4-0 in shootouts this season. Jordan Eberle scored on Quick in the first round, becoming the first player to get one past Quick in shootouts this season.
Kopitar went third after Richards and Jeff Carter.
"Whoever goes first, kind of throws out the scenery — what's going on there," Kopitar said. "Rick [Richards] said there's a little bit of room, high glove.
"But I came down and I saw a bit more room on the blocker side. So I decided to fire there."
Even as Kopitar has struggled to score this season in non-shootout situations, he has trusted his instincts in these one-on-one showdowns. In fact, he has only missed once in four shootout opportunities and has had three game-deciding goals.
The way Bachman was playing, the Kings could have given way to understandable frustration. Richards, who scored on a rebound at 16:58 in the second period, was the only King to get one past Bachman before the shootout.
It looked as if he had another in the third period, but it was waved off when it was ruled that Kings forward Matt Frattin had contact with Bachman.
"Their goalie had a hell of a game," Kings Coach Darryl Sutter said.
Said Carter: "We knew him from last year [with Dallas]. He played well for them. When a guy starts in the minors and gets his call, you know you're going to get his best effort."
The Kings had 23 shots on goal in the third period and Kopitar himself nearly ended it in the final 20 seconds of regulation. Edmonton's only goal came from Nail Yakupov, on the power play, at 4:12 of the second period. His rebound, from the base of the circle, made it, 1-0.
"You've got to keep on plugging away," said Kopitar. "That's what it is. Last game, we scored four in the first. Tonight we just couldn't do it. But you can't get frustrated, keep on going. Eventually they're going to go in.
"Having 48 shots meant we were doing something right. We were there. I'm sure if we have games where we have 48 shots, most of the time it'll be a good chance to win."
And having the likes of Richards, Carter and Kopitar going in the shootout doesn't hurt.
"It's a tough lineup," Bachman said. "Obviously you want to get that point. It's a huge point. But it's a shootout.
"Obviously you want the win, though. It's a little disappointing there."

Eventually the pressure had to result in a goal and it finally did when Marko Pentelic scored for Serbia to get the hosts even on terms with Northern Ireland. A first half goal by Northern Ireland had put the visitors ahead and in the first stanza, there was no doubt that if anyone was to be ahead it should be Northern Ireland. The second half brought a match more in line with pregame expectations as Serbia pressured Northern Ireland time and time again.
In the 63rd minute, Serbia finally got their break through. Milos Ninkovic was played in on the left and cut the ball back across a scrambling Northern Ireland defense. A simple toe poke played the ball on to Pantelic and the Olympiacos forward pounced. He got the ball somewhat under control and while falling to the turf, hit the ball past a helpless goalkeeper for the equalizer.
With the match now even, Northern Ireland will have to find a way to hold onto the point. Serbia have been dominant in the second half and will be on the front foot going for the three points, which any observer has to expect them to get.

How about Pacific Resources Credit Union? They show a projected tiered rate structure where you never reach the stated rate in that tier because your initial deposit amounts are calculated at a lower rate. They calculate your overall interest rate on separate amounts as your balance increases(similar to how the income tax is calculated). If you look at the rate chart that they show for a savings account, you never achieve the stated rate for a given tier because some of the money is given a lower rate before you reach that tier. Not many financial institutions calculate your interest rate based on varying rate categories like this credit union. So they don't technically honor the stated rate.

Buttitta: It's easy to root for Zach Johnson
Zach Johnson is never going to wow golf fans like Phil Mickelson. Unlike Tiger Woods, Johnson is never going to overwhelm anyone with his natural playing ability.
Six weeks removed from his Masters victory, Johnson is showing the golf world that he's no one-hit wonder, but rather a player who figures to be around for the long haul.
Johnson just won his second tournament of the season last week, the AT&T Classic.
He is the fourth player to win multiple times this season, joining Woods, Mickelson and Vijay Singh.
The win also vaulted Johnson into fourth place in the tour's FedEx Cup points standings. He's now 13th in this week's world rankings.
If you looked at the PGA Tour statistics, you would never guess Johnson is one of the tour's best players.
The Iowa native ranks 153rd on tour in driving distance, at 277.4 yards. But he does rank fourth in driving accuracy, hitting the fairway 73.3 percent of the time.
Only two of the 12 players above Johnson in the world rankings, Jim Furyk at No. 3 and Luke Donald at No. 10, rely on accuracy off the tee more than length.
Johnson is solid on the greens and has a nice short game, which helps make up for his lack of length.
But more important than any of his physical tools, Johnson has a strong will to win.
He showed that on the final day of the Masters. As players around him melted under the final-round pressure, Johnson remained cool, calm and collected.
He seemed oblivious to the pressures around him and that allowed him to stay in the present and make the big shots and putts.
The only thing Johnson does not seem to be able to come to terms with is his newfound celebrity status.
His home state of Iowa declared last Thursday "Zach Johnson Day."
Johnson was honored in a ceremony at the capitol, hosted by Gov. Chet Culver. When it was his turn to speak, Johnson told the massive crowd on hand he was overwhelmed with the attention.
It was a refreshing statement, considering how blasé most athletes have become with the attention they receive.
But that's the thing that makes Johnson a guy that we can all pull for.
Johnson doesn't believe the sun rises and sets on him every day. He appreciates how fortunate he is to play a sport for a living.
Too many of his fellow professional athletes don't have that same understanding.
Johnson's lack of ego makes him an athlete that we can all relate to. And that's rare in an era where most athletes are so far removed from the fans who follow them that there is never a connection between the two.
Johnson combines a king-sized desire to win with almost no ego, making him a true rarity among athletes.
It's a combination that figures to keep him near the top of his sport for a long time to come.

ROSENBERG, Texas (AP) - Investigators are trying to identify a man whose body was found in the Brazos (BRAZ'-uhs) River by two kayakers.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office says the body was discovered Tuesday afternoon near Rosenberg, about 25 miles southwest of Houston.
Authorities are not sure how long the body was in the river. Investigators did not immediately say whether they suspect foul play in the death.
An autopsy has been ordered.

Students at the will return back tomorrow to shiny floors, freshly painted walls and sparkling clean classrooms, a product of the custodial staff's hard work at back-to-school preparations, even through .
"We are getting ready for back to school all summer," said Rick Ford, the school's night supervisor. "Although any parent knows the clean walls and shiny floors don't last long," he said with a wink.
Ford said although the preparations were set back by Hurricane Irene, which tore off a roof hood and splashed muddy, saltwater on all of the freshly cleaned windows, there was no delay to the first day of school or postponement of any functions held at the school.
He said it took two custodians two full days to clean just the windows again.
"Everywhere you go is a window," said Ford.
Every summer the custodians strip and seal all of the floors, pull everything out of the classrooms for a deep cleaning, repaint the walls, clean the windows and do repairs.
Ford said the custodians will handle repairs such as plumbing and small electrical and the maintenance staff, which is shared across the public schools, will handle the major repairs.
"For instance we could handle a small leak, but if there was a busted pipe, we would call maintenance," said Ford.
In addition to the regular preparations, the custodians help set up for the many events that take place at the school.
"We say it's like the civic center," said Mike Johnson, who has been a custodian with the public schools for almost 23 years.
Although Mother Nature tested the custodial staff with Hurricane Irene, their dedication allowed the school to not only open on schedule, but also provide a safe and comfortable location to Aquidneck Island residents, as an Ken Bryer, who has been a custodian with Middletown public schools for 13 years, helped set up with the Red Cross.
"There were about 40 to 50 people here," said Bryer. "It was a mix of young families, tourists who were evacuated from their hotels to people who required oxygen."
He said the kids at the shelter had a great time, and they didn't want it to end.
Johnson said that although the job can get stressful, he cannot think of one negative aspect. He really enjoys the students and the other custodians, he said.
When asked what was the most stressful part of the job, Johnson said the hours during a snowstorm.
"We might get a snow removal call at two in the morning," Johnson said. "Then you have to work your shift the next day."
Dave Kilmer, the lead custodian, who has been with the school for 24 years, described the summer preparations as "intense." When asked what his favorite part about the job, he said it was working as a team.
"This place is loaded with good people," said Ford, when asked why the custodians all have been with the school for so many years. "I love this job, are you kidding me?"
It's a good thing he does, because Ford's back to school preparations does not end with his shift at the school. His middle son Colin will be entering Grade 8 this year at Gaudet.
"It's probably hard on him," said Ford. "But I know most of the kids, and I love it."
Custodians Get Middletown Schools In A+ Condition
Meet one team of custodians who have made sure all students, faculty and staff will return back to school tomorrow to clean windows, shiny floors and freshly painted walls.
Students at the will return back tomorrow to shiny floors, freshly painted walls and sparkling clean classrooms, a product of the custodial staff's hard work at back-to-school preparations, even through .

VALDOSTA — Blame your insurance company, not Obamacare for your rates going up. They would have gone up regardless. Get real and check facts about why this is really happening.
I couldn't afford private health care and I certainly cannot afford the outrageous Bronze Plan in Obamacare. Now I have to pay a tax for unaffordable healthcare. Isn't freedom great?
My insurance is going up $250! Thanks to Obama I am paying for mine and yours.
The Valdosta City Council should make nice with the County Commission as we will need the county folks to help us pay for our new Waste Water Treatment Plant. If the county voters see the City Council as giving the County Commission the back of their hand (figuratively) then we can kiss SPLOST VII good-bye.
I believe progress can be a great thing also. There are things that should never change though, one being a strong work ethic. Knowing that you have to work for what you get and not simply given things. Nothing is free. Welfare, education, food stamps, etc. are paid by taxpayers who have a right to speak up when the system is blatantly being abused.
I sure do hope that the new construction of VHS will include a new stadium for them! Can someone state whether that will be the case? Sell the old one to VSU and get everything in one place!
It is way past time for new leadership at the SGMC. Given all the problems, vacant office buildings, a closed down fifth floor, and horrible employee morale, how much more evidence does the Board need to make changes?
It's too bad about the federal shutdown, but employees furloughed should not receive a paid vacation. They should be given the opportunity to make up those 12 workdays by working consecutive Saturdays at their normal rate of pay (not overtime). They could also opt not to make up the time and pay. That would be fair to the federal workers who worked through the shutdown.

Storm cleanup to be completed by Friday, city officials sayBY STAN FINGER
The Wichita Eagle
WICHITA — City officials say tree limb cleanup from the hailstorm that struck portions of Wichita on Sept. 15 should be completed by Friday.
Crews began picking up tree limbs and trunks on Sept. 21 and have collected about 1,200 loads of tree debris, officials said. Most of the cleanup occurred in the southwest corner of the city, though crews also went to other areas where debris had been reported and collected.
"We expect to be finished Thursday," Aaron Henning, assistant maintenance engineer, said in a prepared statement. "That will leave Friday for the final wrap-up."
The cleanup operation included 53 people and 52 pieces of equipment. Officials estimate the operation cost $112,000, including labor, equipment and fuel.Reach Stan Finger at 316-268-6437 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Spglib is a C library for finding and handling crystal symmetries.
Unzip, configure, and make:
% tar xvfz spglib-1.4.tar.gz
% cd spglib-1.4
% ./configure
% make
Copy the libraries where you want using OpenMP. The libraries may be in src/.libs if you don't make install,
Bottle neck of symmetry operation search may be eased using the OpenMP threading. In the case of gcc (> 4.2), set the following environment variables before running configure script:
% export LIBS='-lgomp'
% export CFLAGS='-fopenmp'
Overhead of threading is relatively large when the number of atoms is small. Therefore the threading is activated when the number of atoms >= 1000.
A few examples are stored in example directory. The fortran interface
The ruby code symPoscar.rb in test directory reads a VASP POSCAR formatted file and finds the space-group type. The -l option refines a slightly distorted structure within tolerance spacified with the -s option. The -o option gives the symmetry operations of the input structure.
ruby symPoscar.rb POSCAR -s 0.1 -o -l
How to compile is found in the README file.
Python extension for ASE is prepared in the python/ase directory. See http://spglib.sourceforge.net/pyspglibForASE/
Fortran interface spglib_f08.f90 is found in example directory. This fortran interface is the contribution from Dimitar Pashov. The older versions of gfortran may have compilation problem, and may be solved by applying a patch.

WSC Academy is registering students for this fall at our Brighton and Ypsilanti Campuses.
(To read this on our website, follow this link.)
WSC Academy, a tuition free charter high school, is currently registering students for this fall at our Brighton and Ypsilanti locations. As a public charter school WSC Academy will now function as its own school district allowing us the flexibility to meet the needs of every individual student. As the sponsor of the Academy, Work Skills Corporation envisioned "Students enjoying the smaller, non-traditional learning environment, and being treated as adults" says Tina Jackson, Senior Vice President of Work Skills Corporation, a community-based employment and training organization headquartered in Brighton. Lake Superior State University will be the authorizer and Integrity Educational Services will be the management company. The focus of these three institutions is to make sure all students have an individualized successful experience.
The Brighton campus of the WSC Academy welcomes Kelly Robson as the new School Leader. She comes to us with seven years of alternative education experience in Livingston County. "WSC Academy is really focused on educating each individual student. I am excited for this new opportunity to help students find their success story," states Mrs. Robson.
WSC Academy also welcomes Carrie Kennedy as an Educational Coordinator. She has over nine years of working with at-risk students in Livingston County. Ms. Kennedy will be working as a community liaison making sure that the students' needs are met. This includes assisting the students with employment and matching them up with available resources.
Our new facility located at 10355 Citation Drive Suite 100, Brighton, MI accommodates a small school environment for online and project-based learning. WSC Academy also offers art classes at Studio West, an art gallery located at 111 South West Street, Brighton MI.
Classes run Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Students work obtaining their high school diploma or GED. They work at their own pace in WSC's leading edge computer lab.
WSC Academy is able to boast a 90% graduation rate of their senior class for the 2011-2012 school year. Attributed to this success are the many programs developed for the student as an individual learner. WSC encourages students to work at their own pace and master the course lessons before moving forward. We will continue to offer student programs such as Job Club, Bright Futures, and Leadership Club.
WSC Academy continues to be a high school where students that have struggled in traditional settings find a place to learn, make friends, and grow to meet the needs of their future.
Call now to secure your spot! For more information on WSC Academy contact Kelly Robson or Carrie Kennedy at 810-534-6147.

Highlighting the importance of improving the quality of products or services, the "Make Good Great" conference objectives include explaining the role of standards in quality management and discussing process and product quality, quality assurance and standards and quality control.
"Our objective is to raise quality awareness in the region. The conference that we are hosting should appeal to anyone who wants to explore options for improving the quality of their products and services. Anyone from production, service, health care and education can all benefit from improving their quality," said Juan Casso, May 2005 graduate in Business Administration – Management and ASQ Student Branch president at UTPA.
"Some of the things that people will hopefully learn are the basics of quality -- how things such as logistics, lean sigma and statistical process control are useful to companies and individuals to increase quality. We would like to help people by showing them the tools and techniques that are useful in 'making good great,'" Casso said.
Speakers and their topics include Roz Moore, Six Sigma Black Belt for TRW Automotive, "Impact of Lean Sigma on Quality;" Dante Lopez, Jefe del Laboratorio de Computacion en CBTIS, "Chess & Development of Formal Thought;" Dean Kleven, principal consultant for C.K. & Associates, "Logistics Future, or Why Am I Always Short Parts;" and Fernando Gutierrez Jr. and Keith Selman, manufacturing and administration support, Six Sigma Black Belt for Trico Technologies Corporation, "Lean Sigma."
According to its Web site, ASQ is the world's leading authority on quality. With more than 100,000 individual and organizational members, this professional association advances learning, quality improvement and knowledge exchange to improve business results and to create better workplaces and communities worldwide. ASQs student branches, sponsored by local sections of the organization, allow student involvement and professional development in quality issues. Serving as the faculty counselor for the UTPA Student Branch of ASQ is Dr. Hale Kaynak, associate professor of operations management, Department of Management, Marketing and International Business in the UTPA College of Business Administration.
The conference, which costs $25 per person if pre-registered and $30 at the door, is open to the public. Group rates are available for parties of five or more and a reduced rate of $10 per person if pre-registered or $15 at the door is available to students with a valid ID.

Based on the blockbuster feature film from Columbia Pictures and Marvel, Spider-Man� 2 leverages the PSP� handheld entertainment system�s processing power to deliver the most realistic Spider-Man experience on a handheld platform. As Spider-Man, players must master new combo moves as they protect the city of Manhattan from the nefarious Doc Ock and other classic Marvel villains by swinging, jumping and wall-crawling through 19 new levels that extend beyond the film. Featuring an unprecedented depth of gameplay, players experience original storylines and battle through graphically rich 3D environments.
Spider-Man 2 is an Action/Adventure video game for PSP developed and published by Activision on March 24, 2005. It's rated Teen by the ESRB and 18 of our users have voted it 4.0 out of 5 stars.
Our newest cheats for Spider-Man 2 were added October 13, 2008. We also have the game available on PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo DS, in addition to PSP.
Enter FRZFRAME as a code
Enter SHUTT as a code.
Enter BAHLOONIE as a code.
Enter SPIDEYMAN as a code.
Enter HEAVYHEAD as a code.
Go to Option, then Special and then Cheats and type WARPULON.
In the cheats area enter the code "MYHERO" to unlock all special moves.
Enter the options menu, select "Special", then choose the "Cheats" option. Enter "FILLMEUP" as a code.
Enter the options menu, select "Special", then choose the "Cheats" option. Enter "NERGETS" as a code.
Successfully complete the game with a 100%, then start a new game and enter "FLUWDEAR" as a name.
To defeat Rhino, all you have to do is jump. While you are in the air, press L. Then, wait for him to run into the wall and get some combos on him. When he runs into the next room, do the same. Run around the poles when he gets the big pipe.
Save all of the people on the train and complete the other levels until you get to the level where he recreates his machine. To complete this level you must destroy all of the power generators. To do this, follow the cord that is streaked with orange (or yellow) and black. You will then get to the generators. Just kick them to destroy them. His shield will then go away and you must take out all of his legs; however, be careful. Then to defeat him, keep punching and kicking away.
You first need to know which hologram is him. To do that, you look at the faces behind all of the holograms. The one that is smiling will have the real Mysterio directly in front of it. Do not touch him while the three fireballs are orbiting his head. When he tries to shoot you and no longer has them orbiting his head, go in and hit him. When the fireballs return, back off. Keep repeating this. Note: Do not forget about the other holograms; they are just as powerful.
Stay in the construction area on top of the building. Remain in between the two buildings that Vulture cannot get to you. After awhile, his health will get down to green. He will land, and this is when you can attack him. Do it quickly; you only get five to ten seconds to punch him.
To defeat Shocker, you must let Rhino knock down the platform he is standing on (see the "Defeating Rhino" hint). Then, lock in on him with the Spidey target and either blind him or hold L and press Triangle. Keep doing that and try not to die.

let's settle the debate on demons eating salty food
Julia had to eat three handfuls of rock salt to expel her demon (5.06 I Believe the Children Are Our Future)
a pinch of salt in a pie crust isn't going to hurt Dean
are we not going to mention the fact that dean is a knight of hell and exorcisms didn't even effect abbadon. the demon possessing julia was probably a lesser demon. i don't think he'll even notice the salt in pie much less be unable to eat it
honestly, I don't think he'll be able to smoke out at all. He's not possessing a meat suit. His soul never left his body. And it seems to me that a demon powered by the mark of Cain would be bound to the body that bares the mark.
I'm sure some of the demon rules still apply. holy water probably hurts him and he wont be able to cross salt lines, but if you break a salt line a demon can pass over it. Salt in food is not an unbroken line. It's a sprinkling on top or mixed in with other things. That's why Ruby could eat fries and Crowley could eat pizza. Salt only works if it's pure and unbroken

- First, check to see if your idea qualifies.
- Second, learn the basics of the patenting process.
- Next, do a search for of all previous public disclosures that concern your invention. These public disclosures are called prior art.
A registered patent attorney or agent can be hired to do a patentability search for prior art, and a big part of that is searching for U.S. and foreign patents that compete with your invention. After an application is filed, the USPTO will conduct their own patentability search as part of the official examination process.
Conducting a thorough patent search is difficult, particularly for the novice. Patent searching is a learned skill. A novice in the United States could contact the nearest Patent and Trademark Depository Library (PTDL) and seek out search experts to help in setting up a search strategy. If you are in the Washington, D.C. area, the USPTO provides public access to collections of patents, trademarks, and other documents at its Search Facilities located in Arlington, Virginia.
It is possible, however difficult, for you to conduct your own patent search.
You should not assume that your idea has not been patented even if you find no evidence of it being publicly disclosed. It is important to remember that a thorough examination at the USPTO may uncover U.S. and foreign patents as well as non-patent literature.

I suggest going back to Etsy and convo-ing the photographers who took pictures that you liked on a smaller scale. Many of them probably do not have larger prints listed, because of either the higher cost of the size of the print or perceived lack of interest, but should have both the image resolution and the capability to print extra-large.

I love the Emma Jeffs window film at design public, but wasn't a fan of the price (http://www.designpublic.com/shop/home-accessories/window-film). I have much smaller problem windows in my home (17 inch square windows that let in WAY too much Arizona sun) and used frosted paper that I purchased at Paper Source (www.paper-source.com) in large sheets that I cut to size and attached with heavy duty double-sided tape. It looks the same as if I used a film, was much less expensive, and is easy to replace if I find something I like more or grow tired of the pattern.

To be clear, I don't think that kids should be included on *everything* but the post is about "How to Welcome Guests with Children." It's not about overparenting, it's about being inclusive. Trust me on this one, I've been invited to way too many things where my toddler was specifically invited and then is expected to be shuffled off into a corner and leave the adults alone. It's about teaching your kids to interact with other adults appropriately. I never said that *all* of the tips were bad, just that some of them rubbed me the wrong way. Children should be thought to be included as well, if they are invited, and if they are not invited, that's okay too. Not every event is for kids, nor should it be.
Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | How To: Welcome Guests with Children
As a mom, I'm sorry to say that a few of your tips (and some of the comments) really rubbed me the wrong way. If you invite me AND my child to come over, my child is just as much of a guest as I am and should be treated as such. He's not a puppy to be put out in the backyard and not a handbag to be plopped down in the other room. He's a person and a guest in your home. Reasonable accommodations should be made and so should attempts to incorporate him into whatever is going on at an age-appropriate level. Most of your tips seem to be directions on how to exclude the kids (different food, different activity) rather than how to incorporate them. I've had friends try this and we don't see them much anymore. Maybe your friends see this differently than I do, and maybe it comes off better in person than in print... I guess any attempt is better than no attempt anyhow.
