In this interactive activity adapted from the Exploratorium, learn how different ingredients and the application of heat influence how different types of candy are made. This activity presents a scientific definition of sugar, including an illustration of a sugar molecule; explains how candy makers prevent crystallization from ruining their creations; and addresses the question: Is sugar bad for your teeth?
This media asset was adapted from the Exploratorium's Candy-o-Matic.
Candy comes in all shapes, sizes, flavors, colors, and textures. Whether it's cotton candy, saltwater taffy, or fudge, the ingredients shared by all candies are sweeteners and water. Commonly used sweeteners include white table sugar, molasses, corn syrup, and the artificial alternatives saccharin and aspartame. Other ingredients include butter and fats, flavoring, acids, and gelatin. Whether a candy's texture is gooey, brittle, or something in between depends on which ingredients are used and how the application of heat changes them at the molecular level. That's right—candy making is a highly scientific process.
Table sugar is a crystalline and cube-like form of sucrose, a molecule composed of 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen. When you add sucrose to water and heat the mixture, the sugar crystals dissolve and go into solution. As the temperature increases, more and more water boils off, leaving a higher concentration of sugar in solution.
A candy's sweetness and texture are the direct product of the cooking temperature and how much water remains once the sugary solution, or syrup, is removed from heat to cool. For example, the syrup used to make marshmallow reaches the "firm ball" stage when the concentration of sugar in solution is 87 percent and the syrup cooked between 245° and 250° Fahrenheit (118°–121° Celsius). The syrup used for butterscotch reaches the "soft crack" stage with a sugar concentration of 95 percent and a temperature between 270° and 290°F (132°–143°C).
Cooking at high temperatures allows more sugar to remain in solution than is normally possible. From this unstable state, sugar molecules naturally begin to crystallize back into a solid if allowed to cool without interruption. If you're making rock candy, this is fine. The sugary solution will gradually cool and its signature large crystals will form. For many other types of candy, however, crystallization is not the desired outcome. To prevent crystallization, candy makers add "interfering agents." These agents introduce differently sized and shaped molecules that make it difficult for crystals to form.
Cream of tartar and gelatin are examples of interfering agents. Cream of tartar is an acid; acids act on sucrose to break it into its two simpler components—the smaller molecules glucose and fructose. Because crystals form when similarly sized and shaped molecules interlock, the presence of smaller molecules among larger ones prevents crystallization. Adding gelatin to water as sugar begins to crystallize causes swelling, which forms a stress on sugar crystals. This stress changes the molecular structure of the sugar. The crystalline structure disappears and a jelly or gum forms.

A book about what someone did not say! What a novel idea. More and more Christians have become accustomed to the idea that the historical Jesus very likely didn't say everything attributed to him in the Gospels. Numerous books have been written to identify what he most probably did say. This is the first book I have come across focused instead on what Jesus didn't say.
While the extensive list will most likely make the book unacceptable to conservative Christians, and while some of the more liberal Christians will find the contents too laborious to wade through for what they may get from it, in the Introduction, Ludemann offers information that is both interesting and valuable to any who wish a deeper understanding of the birth and development of the early church and the resultant bible.
Ludemann presents his criteria for judging the inauthenticity of the material he selects. It shows a rigor that confirms that he is indeed a scholar.
"First, words are inauthentic in which the risen Lord speaks or is presupposed as the one who speaks, for after his death Jesus no longer spoke.
Second, all reported sayings of Jesus are to be suspected of inauthentic if they involve situations in a post-Easter community.
Third, like the previous category, serious suspicion attaches to any attribution that reflects the editorial influence of the final author.
Fourth, those words are inauthentic which presuppose a pagan rather than a Jewish audience, for it is certain that Jesus was active in an exclusively Jewish sphere."
He also presents his criteria for authenticity, which I'll not present here.
He shows us in the introduction to Luke that . . "many have attempted to compose a narrative about the events which have come to fulfillment among us", indicating that there were numerous gospels in existence at the time. He also reminds us that none of the material in our canon was written by eye witnesses and that the gospels were written not to offer an objective and historical account of events, but to promote acceptance of a new and developing faith.
While I had long known that New Testament scholars had taught that not all of the sayings attributed to Jesus were spoken by him, I was surprised that Ludemann offers us twenty seven sections that he judges as inauthentic. I will offer only numbers 1 – 4 and 10 – 12 as illustration:
1. In the Temple of Jerusalem: The First Words of Jesus
2. At the Jordan: Words to John the Baptist
3. In the Desert: Words to the Devil
4. In the Synagogue of Nazareth: Inaugural Sermon
10. In Jerusalem: Answer to the High Priest
11. In Jerusalem: Dialogue with Pilate
12. In Jerusalem: Words on the Cross
For those who find it hard to accept that there are words falsely attributed to Jesus, the story of Jesus being taken to a mountain and tempted by the Devil is a good one to think about. Were there witnesses who say it happened? If there were witnesses, what did they see and hear? If there were no witnesses, did Jesus tell the story to someone?
There are so many other stories that plainly were not eye witness accounts that it should not be that difficult to accept that we are reading the works of a new religious movement that was creating itself and evolving from roots already present in the culture at the time.
In his conclusion, Ludemann sums it up well, saying:
"Any contemporary person who turns to the New Testament for objective information about Jesus is bound to come away feeling queasy. Although early Christians acclaimed truth as a component of holiness and condemned lying as one of the sins they had supposedly overcome, the utterances attributed to Jesus in the New Testament Gospels are for the most part heavily redacted or wholly invented sayings intended to edify the earliest Christians, many of whom were waiting for Jesus to return from Heaven. Unfortunately, the Church today often proclaims these texts to be the Word of God, even though scholars, many of them committed Christians—long ago discredited them as inauthentic.

Max was a 10 yr. old orange tabby - found up a tree at the local
shelter, he came into Nemo's and my life with energy, love. His
whole life was measured in one word, affection. He was adorable,
kind, loving and playful. Talkative, and vocal he would constantly
ask questions with the tone of a hook after each expression.
He was a constant pal to Nemo, chasing and playing with him, even
when Nemo was spent by his presence. Max from day one, curled under
the covers, and would sleep with me - every night of his life. He
would hop in joy at seeing me, with two paws up in greeting. Max
enjoyed all food and would be bold enough to eat the cracker out of
your hand and mouth! I have never met a cat so full of love and
affection, his sole mode of life was to be loved and to love back.

They Only Eat Their Husbands
I just turned in the final edits on my manuscript to my editor, and he told me that the next time I see my personal story it will be a book, an object that women can hold in their hands, store on their shelves, or download to their Kindles. This journey started after I returned from my solo backpacking trip around the world, more than 11 years ago. In 2000, I edited a series of emails about my travels into a newspaper series, called "World Wide Wanderer." It appeared in The Rocky Mountain News and Santa Fe New Mexican.
I spent the next six years trying to find time to turn my transformative experience into a book. I began writing about my nine years in Alaska, where I ended up in a series of destructive relationships with alcoholics. and the year I ran away from that life to trek around the world in search of recovery. Working that first year as a newspaper and TV reporter, I didn't have much time to write. Then, I spent the next five years as a writer and producer for shows on HGTV, Food Network, and the Discovery Health Channel. For those jobs I traveled so much, and worked such long hours, that I still found little time or energy to write anything beyond a few travel articles here and there. When six years went by, and I was still only 50 to 100 pages into my memoir, I decided I needed to make a sacrifice.
I gave up TV production and become a part-time freelance writer and ghost writer. My husband and I watched our already limited household income drop by a third. But I was so much happier, and we had so much more time together, that every time I suggested maybe I should go back to production, he said, "No way!"
Within a year, by 2006, I had written about 1000 pages. OK, so now I'd gone too far the other way. "No one is going to buy a book that weighs more than their head," I said. As I spent the next year submitting my book proposal to agents, I kept trimming the book, until it was down to about 400 pages. In 2007 I found an agent, and he hit all of the big publishing houses. After one exciting nibble, they all turned us down, and we amicably parted ways. In 2008, I began submitting to small publishers. After a couple of dozen rejections, I went to a literary festival in 2009, where I met with an editor of a tiny one-man press. I was so confident that this would be another rejection that it was the most relaxed I've ever been in an interview. But that's not what convinced him to publish my book. He'd read most of it the night before, and he loved it. He told me he had a thing for stories about "The Lost American." He said," I'm prepared to offer you a contract today."
It was all I could do not to leap across the space between us and cover him with kisses - or possibly something less ladylike. But I held myself under control, tried to ask calm questions, and told him "I'd think about it." When I stepped outside I called my husband and squealed into my cell phone like a cheerleader, "I'm getting published!"
That was more than a year ago. A few months later, my editor tore his cornea. He dropped a book on his eye while lying in bed reading. I know, it's so ironic that it's hard not to laugh, and I did laugh after his eye started healing. But then he tore it again, not once, not twice, but at least three times. He delayed production on several books, then he cut a few authors loose. A couple of authors walked away from him, angry and frustrated over the delays and uncertainties. Through it all, he stuck with me, and I stuck with him. Still, for the past year I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.
But the next sound you'll hear will not be a shoe dropping, it will be the thud of a shipment of books arriving on my doorstep, for my party in Denver on November 5. That night, some 100 friends, colleagues, and I will celebrate the release of "They Only Eat Their Husbands: A Memoir of Alaskan Love, World Travel, and the Power of Running Away."
So now maybe you're thinking, "Wow. Eleven years." But this journey started even longer ago than that. It started 21 years ago, after a lover threatened to shoot me, and I ran away to Alaska. Or, if I think about it, it really started 47 years ago, when my father started a series of divorces, and my mother started a series of disappearances that would send me bouncing from household to household: from step-parents, to grandparents, to random people. I believe that's why I grew up with the desire to bounce from place to place, always wandering, always running away. For years, unfamiliarity always felt more comfortable than familiarity. And it was a great way to avoid abandonment. Maybe running away wasn't the best habit at first, but along the way it taught me things, and in the end it saved me.
I hope my story inspires other women to have the courage to run away from those people, places, and things that threaten to destroy them, and to run toward those things that will serve their souls. I hope it inspires women who have long let their lives be dictated by the whims, the dysfunction, or even the violence of others... to stand up and do something for themselves, and not apologize for it. Even if the risks are high, I believe it's worth it. As Americans like to say: freedom is not free.
This is not just a book about recovery, it's about discovery. I have found myself reflected in the world around me. The world is a big place with a lot of people. And I hope I've grown into a bigger person for having gone out to meet it.
If you'd like to share my journey with me, you can now order your copy of "They Only Eat Their Husbands" at:
Great story and
Great story and congratulations!!

Too funny!
That has to be the best title....how can I not go and get a copy! I love the concept of the 'the lost American'.

I have off Pulsewire for a while, deppressed and without vitality. But today I came back and found so many interesting things going on... that even if I am not at home (because internet cannot be put into my home yet, and it has been out for a week already...), sitting in an internet cafe, I decided I cannot be away anymore. I have to come.
And I am coming back sending a big congratulations hug to you! I wish I could be in your party in Denver, please share a toast thinking of me and how happy I am for you :)))

Hi Cara, I LOVE the title -
Hi Cara,
I LOVE the title - it pulled me into your article! I will keep an eye out for your book, it sounds good. Congratulations on having it published.........all the hard work paid off!
Hi Cara!
I love the way you practically live your own lines - "the courage to run away from those people, places, and things that threaten to destroy them, and to run toward those things that will serve their soul". And you got such a tough life, girl - but an endlessly interesting and exciting one! Yes, freedom is not free - the price is high and the risk is higher, and most of the time we give both, we pay the price and take the risk, more to be than to become.
I wish I can get hold of your book, too, but that can wait. You are just a keyboard away from me, in this amazing World Pulse community. I like the title "They only eat their husbands", there's humor and subtlety. I remember a book written by three powerful Filipino women not so long ago. I was never able to grab a copy but I browsed a bit in it from a friend's collection. The title? "How to survive a sad, bad, mad marriage".... All the best to us, sister ...
Emie Zozobrado
It is such a fascinating title!!! It is hard to order books online from India. No amazon.com does not deliver to many countries -- including India. Oh Cara -- there is a lot of me in what you write here!!! Running away. Unfamiliarity is so much better than familiarity! For me though I think -- maybe even if I haven't faced abuse myself, I think it is the abuse I have seen other women in my family and community and country face -- that frightens me. I think their response frightens me. I fear being in their place. And I can't understand really why they don't fight back.
We have a case @ the 50Million Missing Campaign where a mother is fighting to protect her twin girls -- please support her petition Cara. Thanks and hugs
Rita Banerji
Woo hoo!!!
Oh, how I wish I could gatecrash your party in Denver to celebrate 47 years of finding yourself and having quite the adventure along the way, however unplanned. I can't wait to return to the US so that I can head into a bookstore and see piles of your book smiling down at me (much more fun than ordering online). I just know I will be laughing, crying and marvelling over your experiences, as I tag along for the ride.
Sending you best wishes for the launch party and know that I'll be toasting you on that day in Phnom Penh. With love,

The Mar Menor is the largest salt-water lagoon in Europe also considered to be the worlds largest swimming pool, (over 60 square miles) which is safe for all forms of water sport; it is non-tidal, crystal clear, and shallow never reaching more than 7 meters in depth and with average water temperature of 23 degreesThe Mar Menor is ideal. Lovely warm clear water with little in the way of waves and a very gentle slope meaning that children can safely play without fear of suddenly being out of their depth.
This part of La Manga is peaceful, beaches of serene thermal waters, rich in iodine and salt minerals.
The waters register a saline content of 50% (the highest in Europe) and are scientifically recognized as being therapeutic in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and many other ailments. A PARADISE FOR NAUTICAL SPORTS
Throughout the length of La Manga there are ten teaching centers (Escuelas de Vela) which means that no one need travel far to practice the water sport of their choosing. All of the centers offer the best and most up-to-date equipment with courses in sailing and wind-surfing tutored by qualified instructors who normally speak at least one language other then Spanish - normally English and/or German. Many of these schools also offer courses in the sailing of catamarans, canoeing, water skiing, and most other nautical sports including deep-sea diving. They are located on the shores of the Mar Menor in ideal conditions.
Scuba and deep-sea diving have seen a considerable increase in activity during the course of the past few years.
The presence of many underwater archaeological sites, sunken ships have turned the area of La Manga and Cabo de Palos into one of the most popular spots for divers from all over Spain. Diving clubs and schools exist both at Cabo de Palos and in La Manga and these organize courses throughout the year with daily trips by boat and offering equipment to rent for the newcomers.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

There's only one proper word to describe Austin Lobsinger: powerhouse.
Lobsinger, a sophomore wrestler for Simpson University, was twice the state runner-up in the 220-pound class at West Valley High, and bulked up even more to be a heavyweight once he went to the next level.
All he did was finish third in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) last March in Des Moines, Iowa, and bring the same kind of thunder into this year. Lobsinger, last I saw, was ranked No. 2 in the nation among heavyweights.
He was the second-ever Simpson wrestler (A.J. Valles was the first in a lower weight class) to win a tournament, at the Southern Oregon the Sunday before yesterday.
This past week, in a home dual against NCAA Division II San Francisco State, Lobsinger won by pin, one of only two Red Hawk victories that night.
For that, Lobsinger is my second Athlete of the Week of the year. Most of this year I've been doing a Shasta College Football Weekly MVP Monday and Tuesday, but now it's back to all sports.
Congratulations, Austin, also a winner of this award last year. For any comments or suggestions for this weekly blog, please use the comments section or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Top Local Tips for York
Visit the Mason Arms Just a hundred metres down the road from the hotel there is an unassuming pub called the "Masons Arms". Have Sunday lunch here if you want huge portions of excellent value hearty Yorkshire food served by really friendly 'real' people . Just make sure you arrive early!
Just make sure to plan ahead We have a family of 5 -- and made a last minute planning decision to go to York, England. If we could have done it again -- I would have put in at least 2 weeks worth of planning. Accomodation choices were very slim for our family size (they wouldn't let us squeeze 5 of us into a double room, even though the 2-year-old could sleep in a crib). York is also very expensive it seems. Advice: Bakeries seem to have the best prices for a good meal (get a beef pasty!)
viking museum & railway museum must see great viking museum in York amongst the shops so look out otherwise can end up walking past. Fantastic railway museum (even though I am not a train lover), wonderful building and great facilities. the York wheel (just like the London Eye) is at railway musuem and is a must. Get the miniature train/bus which runs outside railway museum which takes you straight outside the Minster. Dont think 3 days is enough as there was so much we didnt see. would recommend 4-5 days to see everything. we left and took tour of yorkshire dales which was breathtaking and well worth a visit. would recommend tour of york and then to stay in dales for another 2 nights.

Ultra Petroleum Corp., Houston, relies upon two vastly different asset bases for its future growth: core long-life natural gas reserves in the Green River basin of southwestern Wyoming and oil production in the shallow waters of Bohai Bay off China.
Michael D. Watford, Ultra's chairman, president, and CEO, said the company entered China through an affordable opportunity to buy a stake in an international oil project having upside to pair with Ultra's sizeable US gas properties.
Ultra obtained the Bohai Bay assets through the acquisition of Pendaries Petroleum Ltd., Houston (OGJ Online, Dec. 1, 2000). Meanwhile, the company has made gas production strides during the last 4 years in Wyoming, where it owns more than 188,000 gross acres.
"We started the year with a 40 bcfe production target, a significant increase over the almost 29 bcfe from last year," Watford said. "In the first quarter, we bumped it up to 42 bcfe, and in the second quarter we bumped it to 44 bcfe. We are clearly on target. The company's production target for 2005 is 65 bcfe.
Bohai Bay
The China asset provided Ultra diversity in commodity and geography, Watford said. The company's wholly owned subsidiary, Sino-American Energy Corp., commenced oil sales in September.
"Production from our first two fields started in mid-July and is currently 30,000 b/d of oil of which Ultra is entitled to about 10%. Field productivity continues to exceed expectations," Watford said of Bohai Bay.
Kerr-McGee Corp., Oklahoma City, is the operator, and CNOOC Ltd. is a partner. Ultra has interests in two large blocks that together cover 677,000 acres in shallow waters.
"When we acquired the properties, there were two discovered fields in 2001," Watford said. "We have nine discovered fields now. Two are on production, and we probably will have another 1-2 fields come on production each year during the next 4 years."
He called the exploration potential on the Chinese blocks "tremendous." His previous international experience was as CEO of Nuevo Energy Co., Houston, which had interests in West Africa.
"We have been funding Bohai Bay since 2001, so it is nice to finally have a little production that will help carry its own weight," Watford said. "We are looking at 500,000-600,000 bbl net to Ultra this year. That is 3 bcfe on a 44 bcfe target, or 6%. Next year, we are looking at 10-12 bcfe contribution from Bohai Bay, so that is about 18%."
Wyoming remains the company's primary driver of value creation and cash flow. The Wyoming assets are divided between the prolific 25-sq-mile Jonah field and 100-sq-mile Pinedale anticline area.
"We don't fully understand how large it is because we haven't drilled everywhere yet," Watford acknowledged of the company's Wyoming reserve base. "A lot of our wells easily will produce 40 years, but it is going to require large amounts of capital and thousands of wells. It's going to be like a San Juan basin in terms of huge long-life gas resources with a low decline rate."
Ultra is the largest acreage holder on the Pinedale anticline, which had no development until mid-2000 when the company's environmental impact statement was finalized. During 4 years, Ultra had a 100% drilling success rate there.
The company's proved reserves have grown from less than 50 bcf to 1.1 tcf by yearend 2003. Ultra has identified drilling locations expected to increase reserves to 4-6 tcf.
Watford said a reduction in well spacing in Jonah field will double the number of wells to be drilled. Ultra had identified 636 wells on 40-acre spacing, down from the earlier 80-acre spacing. Now, the company has begun 20-acre spacing in the northern part of the anticline.
"It is logical that you will see the rest of the anticline downspace as well but probably not until early next year. We are doing a lot of work to determine as best we can what the proper well spacing is," Watson said. "We think we are headed to 10 acres/well although we haven't done all the work yet."
Company history, outlook
Analysts frequently credit Watford for turning around Ultra since he joined the company in 1999. He said the company at that time had a large acreage position but poor exploratory record and weak financial condition.
In his first 90 days with Ultra, Watford cut the payroll from 36 people in three offices to 13 people in one office. He sold some properties to raise cash and struggled to regain the confidence of investors and creditors. In the process, he kept the Pinedale anticline.
"It was clearly one of those turnaround opportunities where if you do it right, you come out smelling like a rose¿. We were able to do it right and were able¿because of the asset base¿to blossom," he said.
Watford sees no reason to buy other companies.
"I don't think any other company has the upside that we have. So I think if we were to look at buying other companies, we would just be diluting our shareholder return," he said.
Ultra has grown while maintaining one of the lowest cost structures in the industry, he said, adding that shareholders expect continuing growth at low cost.
"We are a big believer in under-promising and over-delivering," he said. "We try to set targets that show tremendous amounts of growth, more growth than our peer group. But we set the targets in a way that we think we have a reasonable chance of exceeding those.
He added: "The investment community gives you higher evaluation if you can do that and sustain that for a number of years. That is what we are continuing to do."
Given current oil and gas prices, US independents are generating high returns and cash flows, he noted, adding: "They have this big reinvestment risk. This is a question that comes from a lot of portfolio managers: What are you going to do with this cash? Do you have projects with reasonable economics to reinvest it? Are you going to return it to shareholders, either through stock buybacks or dividends?
"That is where Ultra separates itself from its peer group. We have easily a decade of high-rate-of-return reinvestment opportunities in our property base."
Michael D. Watford has been Ultra's chairman, president, and CEO since January 1999.
Previously, Watford was president, CEO, and chief operating officer of Nuevo Energy Co., Houston, where he presided over the company's growth during 1994-97. During his 25 years in the oil and gas business, Watford has held senior management positions in exploration and production, marketing, and corporate finance.
Watford has a degree in finance and an MBA from the University of Florida.

If role demands it, and it isn't gratuitous, I'll do it. It's my job, after all. I'm an actress. I know what I'm capable of it's other people who have a problem with my image, not me.

Recipe by Lisa
"My sister-in-law always made this fudge and didn't want to give out the recipe because she didn't want us to know how easy it is to make!!!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
peanut butter chips
1 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup
1 (14 ounce) can
sweetened condensed milk
This is an extremely simple recipe to make, and it tastes great! In my opinion it has more of a subtle peanut butter taste with the chocolate, but it was still gone with in 4 hours of me making it. Great for beginner bakers!
Am I the only one confused? The recipe calls for peanut butter CHIPS, yet a couple of the reviews talk about crunchy versus smooth peanut butter.
17 Ratings
I've never made fudge before, so I wanted an easy recipe, that would also be good. Boy, this was it! It was as easy as heating a can of soup! I brought some to work, and my co-workers love it too! I made it using 2 cups of chocolate chips, and one cup of peanut butter chips, as that's all I had. I can't wait to try it using the 2 cups of peanut butter chips. I wonder how it would taste with butterscotch chips? And maybe with some nuts added! I'll be making more soon!
This was great. So easy to make.
I made this fudge today for the holidays. I had looked through several recipes on this site, and this was the only that contained all the ingredients I had on hand.
I only had about a cup and a half of chocolate chips, but other than that followed the recipe precisely. It turned out excellent, and very peanut butter-y...but maybe more than other's because I had less chocolate. I also used crunchy peanut butter, which I like better than smooth.
Fantastic (and way, way to easy) recipe!
Just wasn't what I expected....wasn't peanutty enough or chocolate enough for me - my 3 year old liked it though.
This tastes great but I had trouble with the consistency. It never really hardened.
This is incredibly easy to make. No sugar thermometer needed. It makes a rich, soft fudge, which is the kind I happen to prefer. I meant to buy smooth peanut butter but only when opening the jar did I notice I'd got crunchy by mistake. No matter, the bits look attractive in the fudge. I could only manage to eat two pieces of fudge it was so rich...just as well or my waistline wouldn't thank me!

text: I just received the latest issue of Black Star. There is at least one full-paged "ad" for an up-coming event. The event name is listed along with autocrat contact information and driving directions. No where in the ad is the sponsoring barony listed nor the "city" where the event was being held. My lady had to google the camp ground listed in order to determine the event will be held in Oklahoma. This is not an isolated case. Every issue of the Black Star has announcements for upcoming events where the event location is no clearly listed. Sometimes I recognize a frequently used campground (especially if it is in my region). Sometimes it requires internet searches to figure whether the event is in Texas or Oklahoma (or elsewhere in a few cases). I recognize that we are relative new-comers to the SCA, but it would be helpful if the announcements/ads were a little more clear on where the event is supposed to occur. <stepping down from my rant box> Cuan mac Niall --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

We bought two of these for our closet. They were easy to put together and are high quality. They look great and hold a lot of clothes.
We needed a couple more shelves for the built in unit and Overstock had the best price at the time. They were what we ordered and came well packed and on time.
Worked just like I expected it to.Made our closet even more functional than it was.

This portable new product promises energy on the go – and we don't mean a Power Bar. Bourne Energy's Backpack Power Plant is a hydroelectric generator that you can strap on just like a bookbag. It can produce electricity from any pretty much any stream of water, meaning that it's quite a bit more useful than a Power Bar to boot.
The BPP is 3 feet long and weighs less than 30 pounds. It is self-contained and holds its own integrated power control, cooling and sensor systems. The generator is quite adaptable, and each unit generates up to 500 watts per unit. Each generator can work by itself, or can be tied to other units to generate up to 30 kW of power, which is pretty good power output for the $3,000 price tag.
No word on the release date yet, but the company claims that it has received significant interest in the product from the military. We can definitely see use for these in disaster relief situations and to bring power to some remote communities.

I wish to purchase one with step up inverter which can produce 30 KV.

Absent minded
Posted By Sun News On September 29, 2010 @ 10:41 pm In Police Blotter | Comments Disabled
September 17
The mother of the missing 14-year-old said the girl had a history of running away, so she waited until the next morning to report her daughter, last seen leaving for school the day before, as missing. A friend of the girl confided to mom that her daughter hadn't shown up at school that day. Maybe she's with her ex-boyfriend, at his house in Petaluma? She drove there, but no sign of the girl. Police has similar luck as they began an official missing person investigation. Then, on September 20, the phone rang at headquarters. The girl had returned home, the mother said.

An early onslaught of goals gave Juventus a comfortable 4-1 win over Roma and old nemesis Zdenek Zeman on Saturday, extending the Turin club's unbeaten streak in Serie A to 45 matches.
Midfield maestro Andrea Pirlo gave Juve the lead with an expertly placed free kick in the 11th minute at Juventus Stadium, Arturo Vidal converted a penalty in the 16th and Alessandro Matri added another in the 19th for his first goal since February.
Pablo Osvaldo pulled one back for Roma with a penalty in the 69th and Sebastian Giovinco restored Juve's three-goal lead in the 90th.
Also, budget-strained AC Milan gave up the lead in a 1-1 draw at Parma, reviving the possibility that club president Silvio Berlusconi could remove manager Massimiliano Allegri.
Teenage striker Stephen El Shaarawy put Milan ahead in the 50th with his fourth goal in three matches but Daniele Galloppa equalised in the 66th with a free kick that passed through a porous Milan wall on a rainy night at the Ennio Tardini stadium.
At the top of the table, Juventus moved three points ahead of Napoli, who visit Sampdoria on Sunday. Roma are eight points back. Milan, who have just two wins in six matches, fell nine points behind.
Zeman's accusations 14 years ago during his first stint as Roma coach led to a disturbing doping investigation into Juventus.
In 2004, Juventus physician Riccardo Agricola was convicted of administering banned substances, including the hormone EPO, to Juventus players from 1994-98, and was handed a suspended sentence of 22 months. He was cleared on appeal a year later.
Former Juve players continue to exchange verbal jabs with Zeman, but the jabs on the pitch this time were almost all in one direction, as Juventus controlled from the start.
Midfielder Claudio Marchisio was fouled at the edge of the area to set up a free kick and Pirlo slid his shot under and around the edge of Roma's wall, where some teammates were blocking the view of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
Roma defender Leandro Castan was then whistled for a handball after Stekelenburg vacated the goal to block a shot, setting up Vidal's penalty.
Matri received the ball behind the defence with only Stekelenburg to beat in the 19th.
The Bianconeri continued to waltz right through Roma's defence: Matri hit the crossbar in the 22nd and former Roma forward Mirko Vucinic also hit the bar in the 36th.
In the second half, defender Leonardo Bonucci was whistled for a foul on Mattia Destro to set up Osvaldo's penalty. Destro, a recent Italy call up, had replaced Roma captain Francesco Totti five minutes earlier.
In the final minute, Giovinco dribbled around Stekelenburg and scored into an empty net.
Milan struggling
On Tuesday, Juventus host Shakhtar Donetsk for their first European Champions League home match in three years. Milan visit Zenit St. Petersburg on Wednesday.
However, Milan are still struggling to overcome the loss of an entire squad's worth of top players, including the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, who both bolted for Paris Saint-Germain in the offseason.
Stalwarts Alessandro Nesta, Gennaro Gattuso and Clarence Seedorf also left.
"In the first half we controlled and there were no risks,'' Allegri said.
"In the second half there wasn't as much space and we had trouble creating. I'm sorry, but unfortunately that's how football works. If you don't close out matches you leave yourself at risk. It's too bad. ... We really wanted to win today, because it's Berlusconi's birthday.''
Allegri yelled at his players to move closer together in the wall for Galloppa's free kick, to no avail.
"The wall needs to be compact and stay still and shouldn't allow the ball to pass underneath it,'' Allegri said. "Especially on a night like this, when it's tough to kick it over the wall.''
Parma are coached by former Milan standout Roberto Donadoni, who is among those being mentioned as a possible replacement for Allegri.
"At least 70 to 80 coaches around the world would like to sit on Milan's bench, but for the time being I'm here and I'm in complete synthesis with (Parma management),'' Donadoni said. "Then we'll see what the future will bring.''
Parma are one point behind Milan.
Mlan controlled for much of the match but had trouble finding the target.
Newly signed Bojan Krkic, Kevin-Prince Boateng and El Shaarawy were among the most active players for the Rossoneri.
Bojan, in particular, made a big impact. The Spanish forward placed a long shot just over the bar in the 43rd, then provided the cross that led to El Shaarawy's goal, with the 19-year-old then dribbling by a defender and scoring with an angled shot.
In the 52nd, Bojan set up Boateng behind the defence with an excellent vertical pass but the midfielder headed wide, and Parma then began to push forward at the other end.

I just recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. Some of you might think that it was a stupid choice, because Samsung has already released the Samsung Galaxy S4 with better specifications and new features. Most people always want the newest technology, just because it is new and not always because it is better or they actually need it. In most cases the new phones are very expensive because the companies know that a lot of people just want to have the new model no matter what it cost. The thing is that you can make a very good deal if you go for last year's model instead of the newest model from Samsung, Apple, Nokia, HTC or whatever model you prefer.
So why did I chose the older S3 over the new hi-tech S4?
For one thing I got a got price that was more than half the price of the new Samsung Galaxy S4. I also looked at the new features of the S4 to figure out if I needed them. A 5-inch full HD screen in 1920 x 1080 is amazing for a smartphone, but 4.8-inch 1280 x 720 HD screen is pretty good too, and a lot better than my previous smartphone. The Galaxy S4 comes with an amazing 13 MP rear camera, but again the S3 has a pretty great 8 MP rear camera that is still pretty amazing compared to other smartphones. For instance has the iPhone 4 only a 5 MP camera. The S4 does also have a better battery, at least in theory. The S4 has a 2,600 mAh battery compared with the 2,100 mAh for the S3, but the thing is that the S4 also has a bigger screen and a faster processor that needs more power. All in all I ended up choosing to buy the cheaper Samsung Galaxy S3 and so far I love it
Specification of Samsung Galaxy S3
- OS – Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), upgradeable to 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
- Processor – Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9
- Display – 4.8 inches 720 x 1280 pixels
- Camera – 8 MP, 3264×2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
- Battery – Li-Ion 2100 mAh battery
- Memory – Internal: 16/32/64 GB storage, 1 GB RAM
- Memory – Card slot: microSD, up to 64 GB
- Dimensions – 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm
Do you always buy the newest model?
Now it is your turn. Do you always want the newest model when it comes to smartphones or do you like me consider getting last year's model to get a good price? Please drop me a comment below.

posted: Mon Sep 09, 2013 at 12:37 PM
Less than a mile into our excursion, however, it's clear to me that one thing on our trek will not be effortless: footwork. That is, remembering to take my eyes off the scenery long enough to watch my step through patches of jagged-edged, crumbling rocks and tangles of tree roots. I'm grateful I selected a pair of sturdy running shoes for the day.
Our first stop on the trail is Makawehi Point. The area's lithification (transformation of sediment to stone) began some 125,000 years ago with the accumulation of sand dunes along the shore. The cementing of settling sand and volcanic sediment beneath it sculpted the point's cliffs and ledges, which today are continually being chipped away by wave erosion and trade winds.
Sandstone-limestone pinnacles in stark formation on the trail.
Pushing on beyond the dunes we find sets of jutting pinnacles composed of limestone and sandstone. The fragile spire and needle sculptures are the natural artwork resulting from eons of rainwater washing into crevices and formation fractures. Here, and elsewhere on the trail, paleontologists have uncovered bones of now-extinct birds that lived on Kauai when Polynesian voyagers first settled in the Islands.
A downward dip in the trail soon takes us to lava rock tide pools bordering Ho'oūlui'a, an ancient fishing heiau (temple). A sign here suggests we not stray from a narrow footpath bordering these sacred grounds. Early Hawaiians are believed to have left offerings of fish at Hoouluia in hopes of securing good fishing.
On the far side of the heiau grounds, the trail takes a somewhat jarring detour toward modern-day civilization in the form of Poipu Bay Golf Course. A sign posted on a fenced-off stretch of the trail notes that its closure is due to landslides along the shoreline. Walking alongside the course, we watch a family of nene (Hawaiian geese) busily rambling near one of the greens. The ever-stately, indigenous state birds seem completely unfazed by the activities of golfers and zigzagging carts.

TO: News/Assignment Editors and Directors
FROM: Judy Berthiaume, Director
DATE: Oct. 22, 2008
SUBJECT: UW-Eau Claire Geology Students to Present Research to DNR Oct. 23
Twelve UW-Eau Claire students will share the results of their geophysical exploration of the Waste Reclamation and Recycling site during a presentation at 10:15 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, at WRR's offices on Ryder Road in Eau Claire.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources asked students in the Engineering Geology and Geophysics class to help characterize the subsurface at WRR to aid in groundwater remediation efforts. Dr. Katherine Grote, assistant professor of hydrogeology in the department of geology, teaches the course.
For the past four weeks, the students' weekly lab assignment was to spend several hours collecting geophysical data at WRR, then to analyze and interpret the data. Each week they used a new geophysical technique, as different information is obtained from different techniques.
The students will present their project Thursday to representatives of the DNR, WRR and the local consulting company SEH.
Reporters and photographers are welcome to attend the session.
For more information about the project or Thursday's presentation, contact Dr. Katherine Grote at 715-836-5485 or email@example.com.
