Honda Monkey bike
Way too much fun. Here's the deal with the 'Monkey Bike'. It's just a blast to ride. You can load it into the back of a station wagon and take it on a family camping trip, you can hang it off the bumper of your camper or motorhome and head to wherever, you can teach your kid or your wife to ride on this bike and it won't scare the crap out of them. When you're at the RV park you can ride to the little store they have there and get some ice or firewood, and you'll go through a tank of gas about once a year (remember to put Stabil in the tank). There are all kinds of hop up parts for this little bike…you can make it loud, you can actually make go around a go-kart track pretty fast, you can make a little pack mule out of it, but mostly, you're going just have fun on it. This is truly a 'high giggle factor' little motorbike.
I found this one on ebay this morning and it is exactly what it should be…ridden, shows it's age and has been taken care of. Like I said at the beginning, way too much fun. This is two wheel fun at it's peak.

1975 Indian ML100
We all know someone who deserves a lump of coal in their Christmas stocking…right? The person that leaves their motorcycle out in the rain because that's the only time it gets washed, checks tire pressure only when they go out to ride and find a flat tire, oil changes happen as regularly as Congress actually does something (never), they come over to a barbeque and all they bring to the party is their appetite, they borrow a couple of tools to do a clutch adjustment and only one of them comes back…the list goes on but we all know that person.
Most of us have bought a motorcycle or two that we thought would be a good winter project only to find that it's probably more work than it it's worth, in so many ways. We end up finding a sucker…uh, I mean friend, that thinks he can make something good out of it (I have been that sucker more than once in my life..) and you are more than happy to send that two wheeled (if you actually have both wheels) was a motorcycle, off to new home.
Years back a group of riding buddies and I started this running joke of passing around a fruitcake at Christmas. It got mailed all over the country and after about ten years somebody actually opened it up. Surprise,surprise…it was just the same as it was when it started it's all over the country journey.
A year or two later one of the band of merry men decided to resurrect the tradition but this time with a junk yard motorcycle. Ok, now this one didn't shipped around the country it was just transported house to house here in So Cal. I was the first recipient of said junk yard P.O.S.
I awoke December 26th to a Suzuki something or other that had one wheel, a rusty gas tank, no seat and one turn signal(which was hanging by one wire) laying on my front porch. No one ever fessed up to being the one to start it but that almost rolling Suzuki ended up in someone's Christmas stocking for the next ten years or so. Not a one of us ever did anything to it, we just laughed our asses off every time we dropped it off on a friends front porch with a bow on it.
Today I found on ebay a bike that you can buy and start a fine tradition yourself with your 'friends'(?). It's a 1975 Indian ML100. It is truly a classic Indian motorbike, well the seller thinks so. It is almost complete? so says the seller, it's a rare find? Oh sure it may be missing a few parts but it has some extra rust to make up for that. And the best part is that the seller is willing to part with it for just under $1000 dollars…how can anybody pass up a deal like that to start a running joke with your riding pals. A good tradition isn't always as cheap as a fruitcake, but how much do you like a good joke.
Click on the pics below for more pictures and more info. Also, a good laugh at what someone thinks something is worth. This is one Indian you know the Chief doesn't want to admit siring.
1974 Honda CL125
East Buttcrack, Minnesota,
"Hey Eunice, It's getting pretty damn cold around here, maybe it's time we went and visited your sister and that dolt of a husband of hers down in Florida"
"Floyd, you don't like my sister and her husband isn't a dolt, he's just a bit different?" "and besides that the Winnebago hasn't run for a whole year, probably won't even start much less make it all the way to my sisters" "And on top of that what are we going to do once we get there? You don't play golf, you don't fish and you're scared of alligators"
"Well, we could buy ourselves a motorcycle and ride it around?"
"Floyd, last time you rode a motorcycle you were a senior in high school and your brother bet you five dollars you couldn't make it to the end of the block before you crashed his…I was there, you didn't make it ten yards…what makes you think you can ride around Florida?"
"Well, that was then, I'm better at things like that now?"
"Oh really?"
The real truth here was that Floyd was tired of being cold, Florida sounded good but being with his sister and brother-in-law was only just a bit better than being snow bound all winter
So the conversation went on but in the end Floyd won out…well, he was going to buy a motorcycle without telling Eunice. He did all the right the right things, he took the MSF course (telling Eunice he was going to the VFW hall for Bingo), got a bumper carrier for the Winnebago and bought he and Eunice a couple of spiffy looking helmets. Now all he needed was a motorcycle.
Floyd spent the next few days searching ebay for a motorcycle. He found a few that he thought he would like (his ego was well in place at this time…a GSX-R1000, a Honda Superhawk, he even thought about a Gold Wing?) but finally settled on a small bike that would be perfect to ride around town or a little out of town to get away from sister in law and dolt husband, (and Eunice too). It had to be light enough to fit on the bumper of the Winnebago and not scare Eunice.
I found the perfect bike for my friend Floyd this morning on ebay, a Honda CL125. This is a bike that will get you all around town and away from the family when you need to. The Cl125 is a super easy bike to ride, requires almost no maintenance save for changing the oil, lubing the chain, keeping the battery charged and making sure there is air in the tires. This little CL I found today, needs nothing except a new battery. It is super clean, new tires and spokes. This is a very cool little bike. It would also make a very fun little Cafe Racer.

1961 Benelli Fireball
Recently my friend, racing and traveling partner Erik bought his wife a little 50cc Yamaha to ride around town and develop her riding skills. Well, as it turns out he is spending more time on that little Yamaha than she is. Why? because it's so damn much fun!!
He put a tank bag on it so he can make 'small' grocery runs and even light weight Home Depot runs. He can 'kickstart' it with one hand, fills the tank about once a month, and has a giant grin on his face every time he rides it. What could be better? Well, something with more style.
Having owned a Benelli for a short period of time I have developed a slight affinity for the marque and am always intrigued when I find one on ebay, or anywhere else for that matter. And…I am a long time lover of small motorcycles, motorcycles that have a 'high giggle factor'. I found a sweet little Benelli Fireball on ebay today that I think would be a blast to own.
A little history is required here though. This little motorbike was born in the Benelli factory but was sold through Montgomery Wards as a 'Riverside' brand motorbike. Back in the 'Leave it to Beaver', 'Father Knows Best', and Ozzie and Harriet' days, both Sears and Wards sold everything including motorcycles. Most all were sourced out of Europe and sold rather inexpensively here in the States. This was at a time when small bikes were selling well as basic transportation and fun to ride. Motorcycling was growing fast and everyone (businesses) wanted to cash in. That happy time didn't last all that long. Sears stopped the Allstate brand, Wards dropped Riverside even Western Auto stopped selling mini-bikes. Fortunately, a good number of these bikes have survived.
I found a really great example today on ebay of that time period. A Wards 'Riverside' 50cc motorbike. It's a Benelli 50cc Fireball. A simple little two-stroke racebike with a head and tail light. This little bike is so cool. The owner went over the bike and removed all the 'Wards Riverside' logo's and rebadged it as Benelli and it looks great. The seller says it runs good. There isn't a lot of information about these bikes out there but there are a few websites that have info that you might want at a some time.
If you live in a city where getting around on a scooter works well, you'll have a lot more fun on this little Benelli. And you'll look a lot cooler too.

1964 Harley Davidson Topper
Over the more than 100 years Harley Davidson has been building motorcycles they have dipped their toes into the waters of bikes other than big twins a few times. Their short lived love affair with Aermacchi, the horizontal singles and small two strokes came from Italy, and more recently a partnership with sportbike builder Erik Buell (of which I now own one, and much to my chagrin, I LOVE). But, The Motor Company always seems to come to it's senses and goes back to what it sells best…big, heavy, twins that owners can make louder than a Led Zepplin concert.
Let's take a short walk back to the early 1960's and the world of scooters. Harley Davidson was doing everything it could to keep their market share here in the U.S of A while the British and more importantly, the Japanese, were whittling away at it. As mentioned before, the working with Aermachhi to enter the small bike market didn't go quite as well as the bean counters in Milwaukee would have liked. What about building a scooter?? Could it, would it, work?? It didn't matter, Harley was throwing money (money it didn't really have) almost anywhere to keep selling motorcycles. Enter the Topper.
Harley Davidson built the Topper to cash in on the growing market of beginner riders and those that just wanted something fun to ride but wanted an American built machine. Well, the Topper went over like a fart in church. Harley built a medium sized 165cc, 9 horsepower, 2 stroke motor with a rope start (just like the one on your Craftsman lawnmower today) and top speed of about 46mph in a fairly modernistic designed, and…well, like I said 'went over like a fart in church'. Harley kept it on the market for nearly 5 years but only sold about 3,000 of them and today only about 100 are still alive. That statistic alone gives it a very high cool factor.
So, today, I found one of the one hundred on ebay and it's really cool. It's no secret that I love scooters and I know that someday soon I'll have another to ride around, a Harley Topper might just be more to my liking than a Vespa or Lambretta (is that because I now have a Harley powered motorcycle??…am I really headed to the dark side?? Oh Lord, please help me..). The one I found today is in great running condition with just a few small cosmetic flaws and only 6915 miles on the clock. It looks really great and would be perfect for someone who simply wants an around tow n grocery getter or a fun Sunday ride if you don't have to get on the freeway.
If you are thinking about a vintage scooter that is very unique and quite rare, click on the pictures below for more info.
Believe it or not, often times less is more. Yeah, there is nothing quite like the rumble of a big V-Twin, the scream of a high revving two stroke triple, the roar of an inline four, or the thump of a big single. But, there are times that the song of a little (not even freeway legal) single or twin is pure music to your ears. Add to that a style that launched a whole generation of riders and you have the making of a true classic. Honda, better than anyone in the '60's, knew how to do just that.
THe Honda 'Dream' was a big bike by 'then current' standards, but Honda needed something in between the little 'You meet the nicest people on a Honda' 50cc step-thru bikes and the 'bigger' 160's and 305's. The 90 was perfect.
The 90cc CA200 was light at just 188 pounds, put out a whopping 6.5 horsepower, could top 55 mph, get nearly 100 miles per gallon of regular gas and was quite stylish. Honda took the successful style of the 'Dream' model and the comfort of the 'Benly Touring' model and simply put a smaller motor in it. It worked!! The CA200 was one of Honda's best sellers.It was the perfect transition bike for most riders of the time.
I found a really nice one on ebay today. Not too many miles, generally really nice condition…ok, it needs a bit of touch up here and there (the owner primered the top of the tank and there are a few dents here and there…) but, all in all pretty darn nice. This is the kind of bike that goes perfect on a motorhome bumper rack (it is that time of years ya know..), it's also a very cool get around campus bike for the freshman at University in your family…chicks dig guys that don't have big motorcycles to match their big ego's. Well, maybe they do, but, I'm just dreaming here. I think the cool factor of this little Honda goes way beyond ego.
Click on the pics below for more info and more pictures. This really is a very cool little motorcycle. And, reasonably priced I might add.
1960 Cushman Road King
Well, here we are again looking at something way too cool, a ride that will give you a huge grin on your face for a bunch of reasons. First, it's a classic scooter; second, it's a Cushman (you don't see those around every corner); third it is so strange looking that the cool factor is off the charts.
Cushman scooters were the epitome of sturdy, reliable, and trustworthy…the Boy Scout of scooters. Cushman built the scooter used by the military through World War 2 and beyond, the US Postal Service, schools for maintenance, hunters, golf courses, and anywhere you needed a trouble free utility vehicle. But Cushman wanted more, they wanted the general public to buy their scooters.
Cushman scooters were not what you would call stylish by any stretch of the imagination, clunky is the description I would use. But then Buck Rogers joined the design team. Welcome, the Road King. Jet age styling with Cushman low tech. Fun to ride and draws looks from everybody. The looks range from "what the hell is that?" to "wow, that is so cool". I would love one.
Cushman brought the centrifugal clutch to the scooter world with their two speed transmission..twist and go. The twist was interesting though, you actually roll the throttle forward, opposite of normal motorcycles, took a bit of getting used to I would imagine. The Road King got an estimated 75MPG out of its 8Hp Cushman Husky motor and topped out at around 50mph. Can it get out of its own way? yeah, kinda but who cares, it's just too much fun to ride.
I found a really nice Road King on ebay this morning that is a rider not a museum piece. It has the nicks and scratches that come with age but this scooter has aged very gracefully. The owner doesn't state the miles but says it is a runner and has been gone over by a Cushman mechanic. It looks like it has a non stock muffler but that shouldn't stop you from buying it.
There are quite a few Cushman websites and forums out there so finding parts, information, and support along with camaraderie will be easy. So, if you would like to have something that is truly unique and truly American, a Cushman Road King is something you should have. This is not your everyday grocery getter scooter, this is a Cushman Road King…too cool.

1943 Cushman Airborne Model 53A
Now really, who amongst us that love vintage motorbikes wouldn't love to have a bike that was designed to be parachuted out of an airplane behind enemy lines during World War 2? And how many of us have so many motorcycle projects filling the garage, evenings that are supposed to spent with the family, and money in the bank account, that have wives who would love to see us sitting on that bike falling out of an airplane….without a parachute? Raise your wrench, I thought so…pretty much all of us.
Next question, what if that bike was a scooter? Ah, not so many wrenches in the air this time. Come on you guys expand your horizons, think outside the gas tank. I'm not talking about your average Vespa or Lambretta (they wouldn't handle being dropped off a curb much less out of an airplane), I'm going to something much cooler…a Cushman. Yeah, I know, Cushman made golf carts for a million years but they also made vehicles for the military. Cushman's were strong and reliable, that was what was needed then ( it still is today when you think about it). Some models were touted as getting 100mpg but most got around 75mpg…at that time they advertised that you could ride a Cushman for less than a penny a mile.
There is a lot written about Cushman's history and it's pretty cool. Totally utilitarian but they also delved into the world of the futuristic with some of its designs in the '50's. Unique styling didn't really help them then but today some of these models, especially the Road King model are highly desired by scooter aficionados.
The Model 53 also known as the 'Airborne', was designed to be parachuted out of an airplane to support the troops on the ground during World War 2. It had a number of uses during the war, the utility trailer that came with it could haul supplies to the troops and could even carry 50 caliber machine guns or 81 mm mortars. The Model 53 could forge a water crossing over a foot deep and climb a 25% hill…the Model 53 would go anywhere and do anything. Reliability was the key to its overall usefulness for the military.
At the end of the war there were still a lot of these models that had not gone to the government and were sold off as 'Civilian' models and could be had for a song.
I found a beautifully restored 'civilian' model on ebay this morning that would be so much fun to ride around town, the senior citizen trailer park or load it onto the bumper of your motorhome and hit all the National Parks. The owner has done a full resto on the scooter and shows only 1 mile? It should sell for a reasonable price and really would be an attention getter no matter where you ride it.

1960 Ducati Bronco
We are told it is better to give than receive right? In some cases I agree. But, we also have to give to ourselves, nourish the soul…or just plain ol' be a bit selfish. I believe in winter motorcycle projects, especially for those of you that have a shortened riding season. I believe in them for those of us that live in year round geographies as well. There is nothing more soul satisfying than come spring time after endless ebay searches, forum chats, begging and pleading for a treasured part, than to roll your project out into the sunlight for the first time.
As some of you know, I am working on a project bike to ride the MotoGiro California this next year and I have also helped a couple of friends find motorbikes that are appropriate. Today I found a great candidate on ebay…a Ducati Bronco.
The Bronco is a very simple little 125 cc pushrod motored motorbike with typical Ducati styling. It's lightweight,only 227lbs, put out an arm stretching 6.5 HP and has a top speed of somewhere around 55mph (downhill with a tailwind…). The little Ducati was actually designed for some off-road duty so was equipped with 16″ semi knobby tires and a duplex cradle frame. It's perfect for the Giro d' California. Actually, if you're really ambitious, do the MotoGiro d' Italia!
The Bronco I found on ebay this morning could either be a pretty easy project or could turn into more. Overall the bike is in pretty good shape. It doesn't run at this time and looking at the pictures it looks like it may need some electrical parts. The seller says it does turn over with good compression (?), he says it needs a kickstand but it looks to me that it needs a kick start lever? All in all it looks to be a neat little bike that should clean up nicely and hopefully with not too much work be a fun little rider. Click on the pics below for a contact.

1973 MV Agusta Mini Bike
Little Throckmorton asked Santa for a motorcycle this Christmas. At first he wanted a dirt bike so he could go out on weekends with his dad then, he saw a roadracing picture. "That's for me" he said…"dirt is for planting potatoes, pavement is for racing". Now what are you going to do? You, dad, either switch to roadracing so you can spend weekends with your son or you do your very best to convince him he still wants a dirtbike…good luck with that one. I have an idea for you, get him a good used little mini roadracer and you keep your dirt bike. You may only have to give up one weekend a month but it will be worth it.
Mini roadracing is incredibly popular all over the country. Most mini or pocket bike races are held on go-kart tracks and are great family events. It is so much fun watching little kids and occasionally big kids (or adults that just act like kids) flying around the track on these little roadracers. Today while searching ebay for cool bike oriented Christmas stuff I came across this MV Agusta replica mini racer that would be so much fun for little Throckmorton.
The story behind the repli-racer is MV Agusta built a one off mini bike for Phil Read's son. Phil Read was the factory MV rider that went on to win the 500 cc World Championship that year. Well, when the public saw the little bike, everyone wanted one. The bike was made in two versions, the 8″ wheel size for little tikes and the 10″ wheel size for bigger kids. Both versions were powered by a Franco Morini 50cc 2 stroke motor with a 'Variator' transmission (basically a single speed), I believe that there was also a 12″ wheel version also made that had a proper clutch and transmission. Nobody seems to know how many of these bikes were made back in the seventies but most are guessing around 2000?
The little MV I found today is a little rough and needs some love. It needs a windscreen, which might be a bit tough to find and if you really want to put the $$$ into it, repaint it. But…little Throckmorton is going to be racing this around so get a windscreen but leave the rest alone so that when it ends up on its side (which it will) you won't feel too bad. It is a very cool little roadracer and certainly not your average pocketbike. Click on the pics below for more pictures and a little more info.

- For fun / studying : I'm pretty sure you can, but still, the tools question remains.
- For programs you wish to sell?
The tools I'm looking for :
- IDE (as complete as possible, debugging, refactoring, libraries, intellisense, ...)
- If not in IDE, compiler
- Unit Testing
- Documenting (extracting comments eg, cf javadoc)

Other suggestions for nice free tools welcome.

French, Greek experts join Cyprus blast probe
NICOSIA, Cyprus Greek and French experts are helping Cypriot investigators piece together what exactly caused dozens of containers of seized gunpowder to explode on the island's main naval base, killing 12 people, an official said Tuesday.
The massive explosion leveled Evangelos Florakis base, turning fire trucks and military vehicles into twisted piles of scrap and shooting shards of copper and steel over a wide area. Many parts of the island are still intermittently without electricity after the powerful concussion wave knocked out the main power station.
Government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou said Greek experts have already joined Cyprus police and military investigators in scouring the rubble for clues while French officials were en route.
The probe into Monday's dawn blast, that killed the island's navy chief and also prompted the resignation of the defense minister and the top military chief, comes amid a torrent of criticism over how the 100 containers - most of them filled with gunpowder - had been stored.
The containers had been stacked one on top of the other in an open field at the navy base since 2009, when they were seized from the Cypriot-flagged M/V Monchegorsk that the United Nations said was breaching a ban on arms exports.
Military officials had previously expressed fears of what exposure to the elements would have on the containers and the gunpowder in letters to the Defense Ministry. Cyprus Auditor General Chrystalla Georghadji was quoted in an annual report in 2009 as saying that the contents' "composition and reaction to high temperatures is unknown."
"There will be an in-depth investigation, all will be investigated thoroughly and responsibility will be apportioned where it is due," Stefanou told reporters, adding that Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias had not been briefed on the containers' storage conditions or of any dangers relating to the gunpowder.
Stefanou said the government had sought to transport the containers to either Malta or Germany, but received no reply from the U.N. Security Council whose authorization he said was needed to do so.
Fotis Fotiou, a spokesman for the governing coalition, center-right party DIKO said "it is obvious that criminal negligence" caused the "national tragedy."
"There must be punishment," he said.
In a written statement issued late Tuesday, Stefanou said a police-led criminal investigation into the blast will run concurrently with another probe to be carried out by a committee Christofias will appoint to swiftly examine "all aspects of the issue and apportion whichever responsibility."
The powerful concussion wave also smashed window panes, tore off roof tiles and blew in doors to more than 240 homes in communities within a five-kilometer (three-mile) radius of the naval base.
Two men injured in the blast remain in critical condition. Nicosia General Hospital official Theodoros Kyprianou said one of the two men - a soldier - "had no face or eyes" and that his mother initially recognized him from a mark on his hand.
Health Minister Christos Patsalides said Israeli doctors would arrive on the island to assist Cypriot colleagues in treating the injured.

Sugar and safety: Those are the two big concerns of home cooks when it comes to canning.
When people even think about making their own jams or pickles, they experience what I call "recipe shock" about the amount of sugar required. (For example, a traditional strawberry jam recipe calls for five cups of mashed fruit and seven cups of sugar.) Many people these days want to limit sugar, either because they are diabetic or for weight control.
When it comes to food safety, canning scares many people because of one threat: botulism. They are too afraid to even try canning their own food for fear of making their loved ones sick. If you understand the science behind safe canning practices, you will know how to eliminate that risk and can without fear.
I heard these concerns again and again these last several months at events for my first cookbook, "Pickles & Preserves: A Savor the South Cookbook." With strawberry season in full swing and peach season not far off, here are answers to your most common canning questions with an assist from fellow canning cookbook authors, food scientists and home economists.
Q: Why do recipes for jam, jelly and preserves call for so much sugar?
A: Sugar does more than provide flavor. It plays a key role in getting the jam to set as well as preserving color and texture and extending shelf life.
"It's important to recognize that jams and jelly are candy. You are essentially candying the fruit to preserve it," explained Sherri Brooks Vinton, author of the best-selling "Put 'em Up" canning books and the recently released, "Put 'em Up Preserving Answer Book: 399 Solutions to Your Questions."
Without the correct amount of sugar, Vinton explains, the jam may not set, will not have that bright, glossy color and ideal texture or last as long once opened.
Q: Can I make jams or preserves with less sugar or no sugar?
A: Yes. There are low-methoxyl pectins on the market that allow you to use less sugar, Splenda and other sweeteners. Low-methoxyl pectins rely on calcium, rather than sugar, to get jams and preserves to set.
Look for low-sugar, no-sugar pectins by Ball or Sure-Jell, which can be used to make jam with lower quantities of sugar, Splenda or honey.
Vinton and Marisa McClellan, author of the popular Food In Jars blog and two preserving books, recommend a product called Pomona's Universal Pectin, a commercial pectin packaged for home use. Available online and at Earth Fare, Williams-Sonoma and Whole Foods stores, Pomona's comes with two packets: one of pectin and another of calcium that is mixed with water before it is added to the fruit. Because the calcium helps the jam set, recipes using Pomona's can use less sugar.
Vinton has two books with recipes that call for Pomona's: "Put 'em Up," and "Put 'em Up Fruit." In addition, Pomona's makers recently published a cookbook, "Preserving With Pomona's Pectin," by Allison Carroll Duffy.
Q: Can I make sweet pickles with less sugar?
A: Yes. But using less sugar or a sugar substitute will produce a softer pickle, Vinton notes. Reducing sugar or replacing it with Splenda in a traditional recipe is unlikely to work. Instead, look for low-sugar pickle recipes or ones that call for Splenda.
Q: Why can't I just replace sugar with Splenda?
A: Fletcher Arritt, a food science professor at N.C. State University, explains that sugar and Splenda react differently with water when making jam, jelly, preserves or pickles. Sugar binds itself with the water, making it less available to microbes that can cause spoilage or make someone sick. Splenda does not bind as well with water, increasing the risk of microbial activity.
Q: What about making jams and preserves with other sugar substitutes or artificial sweeteners?
A: Cooks can use honey, maple syrup, agave syrup and stevia with Pomona's pectin or low-methoxyl pectins. The key is finding trusted recipes that call for such ingredients.
Vinton advises against using artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame and sucralose, because they become bitter when cooked and create an off flavor.
Q: How can I be sure that I'm following safe canning practices?
A: Safety is one of the first topics McClellan, author of "Food In Jars" and "Preserving by the Pint," addresses when she teaches people how to can. She explains that most jams, jellies, preserves and pickles are high-acid foods, which can be safely processed in a boiling water canner with no risk of botulism. "It is impossible for botulism to develop," McClellan said. "I really stress it just isn't going to happen."
Let's cover some basics to explain the science. There are two types of canning: boiling water bath canning, which is used to process high-acid foods, such as jams, jellies, preserves and pickles; and pressure canning, which is required for low-acid fruits and vegetables, meats, poultry and soups.
With high-acid foods, processing jars in a boiling water bath, which reaches temperatures of 212 degrees, is all that is needed to kill molds, yeasts and bacteria. With low-acid foods, pressure canning is required to reach a temperature of 240 degrees, the level at which harmful bacteria and botulism spores can be killed.
The key to safe canning is following professionally tested recipes, such as those from the National Center for Home Food Preservation and from authors you trust. "People are very afraid of preserving their own food," Vinton says. "They don't have to be. Just follow the recipe."
Q: What about the risk of botulism?
A: Botulism is only an issue when canning low-acid fruits and vegetables, such as green beans, corn, peas or asparagus in salted water, or when canning seafood, meat, poultry, soups or stews. Those foods do not contain enough acid, either naturally or from a pickling brine, to create an environment that is inhospitable to botulism spores. Those foods must be processed in a pressure canner to 240 degrees to kill the spores.
Q: Since tomatoes are low-acid fruits, do they need to be pressure canned?
A: Tomatoes are borderline low-acid fruits and can be made safe to can in a boiling water bath with the addition of citric acid or lemon juice. The rule is to add 1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice or 1/4 teaspoon citric acid per pint, or 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon citric acid per quart.
Q: Is it safe to do "open-kettle canning?"
A: No. Open-kettle canning is an out-of-date practice in which home cooks would fill hot glass jars with hot jams, fruits and or pickles and brine, and then seal without processing in a boiling water bath.
Ben Chapman, a food scientist at N.C. State University, explains that processing the jars in a boiling water bath helps kill microbes in the food, vent out oxygen containing microbes and remove as much air as possible from the jars to create a good seal – all essential for producing a safe product. Without that processing, he explains, microbes may be able to grow.
Q: My grandmother used to use paraffin to seal her jams and jellies. Can I do the same?
A: No. Sealing jams or jellies with paraffin does not involve the added protection of boiling water bath canning that Chapman describes above. Plus, pinholes can develop in the paraffin to let microbes into the jams or jellies.
This is what I tell people who ask about open-kettle canning and using paraffin: "Just because your grandmother did it doesn't make it safe. Your grandparents rode around in cars without seat belts. We know more know about food safety than they did and we should be smart enough to use that knowledge."
Q: More questions?
A: If you have a canning question that has not been answered here, let me know. I'll tackle some of them in an upcoming column.

2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport
Not long after bombing around the Milford Road Course in the new CTS Vsport, Cadillac invited me to try out its other new-for-2014 Vsport model: the XTS. And despite using the same twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS, the Vsport package takes on a whole new meaning here in Cadillac's softer flagship. In the CTS, this trim perfectly bridges the gap between the standard models and the hardcore CTS-V, and is focused on being the best-driving version of the range without a standalone V badge. The XTS, however, has no proper V model, so the Vsport becomes the new range-topper for tha... Read More

With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast," has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise ...
Twin-turbo Cadillac CTS, 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Henrik Fisker resigns, Judge calls speed cameras a scam, the cars of Fast & Furious 6 Episode #325 of the Autoblog Podcast is here, and this week, Dan Roth, Zach Bowman and Jeff Ross talk about Cadillac's new twin-turbo V6, our first look at the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the resignation of Henrik ...
A seriously stretched Cadillac XTS has been snapped during cold-weather testing doing what appeared to be checks of its traction-control, braking and stability systems, according to our spy photographers. With the Lincoln Town Car having left the building, Cadillac probably sees a huge opportunity not only in the livery market, but also in the ...
Work is well underway on Cadillac's upcoming new flagship. The XTS is slated to replace both the STS and DTS, and while this isn't the first time we've seen a test mule out in the open, it could be our best glimpse yet. The new sedan is said to be riding on an extended version of General Motors' Epsilon II platform – the same architecture that ...
We've seen spy photos of Cadillac's upcoming XTS before, but only from far away. Now, our intrepid spy photographers have managed to get up-close and personal with the new Caddy flagship, giving us a sneak peak at the sedan's interior in the process. Based on the XTS Platinum concept shown at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, this new Cadillac sedan will ...
Cadillac is preparing to launch a new flagship sedan based on the XTS Platinum concept that will replace both the STS and DTS sedans in the luxury automaker's lineup. Our trusty spy photographers recently caught this camouflaged prototype within GM's testing facility, showing that the car has skipped the normal test mule phase and gone right to what's ...
Look what the spies have caught. Fresh from our time in the nothing-else-looks-like-it Cadillac CTS Coupe, comes these furtive shots of what we think is the upcoming Cadillac ATS. We've heard different rumors, but the dedicated BMW 3 Series fighter will either show up in 2013 as a 2014 model, or 2014 for the 2015 model year. Whenever it shows up, the ATS ...

Research in The New England Journal of Medicine has shown that Truvada has the ability to effectively prevent the spread of HIV infection. But will it?
In April of 1984, three years after the Centers for Disease Control first announced a spate of rare, virulent infections among gay men in Los Angeles, Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler stood before a gaggle of Washington reporters and predicted that an AIDS vaccine would be soon in coming. She was hoping to quell the maelstrom of misinformation and fear that gripped the country as landlords evicted HIV-positive tenants, hemophilic children were banned from school, and San Francisco police officers donned masks and gloves while working beats in the Castro. Give it two years, Heckler assured the assembled cameras. "Yet another terrible disease is about to yield to patience, persistence, and outright genius."
Three decades later, despite a heroic and awful patience, the maladie terrible haunts us still. The statistics belie the years of effort and billions of dollars invested in the search for a cure: 1.2 million Americans live with HIV -- as many as in Uganda and Zimbabwe -- with up to 50,000 new infections in the United States each year. The gay and black communities are hardest hit, particularly in the Deep South, and at least one in five don't know their positive status. In Washington, D.C., where the 19th annual International AIDS Conference is to be held later this month, the known rate of HIV is triple what the World Health Organization considers "epidemic." You can't walk a block downtown without passing a coffee shop that offers free condoms or a bus stop ad reminding you that real men "ask for the test." But the message has been slow to gain traction.
Welcome, then, are a trio of studies in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrating that Truvada, an anti-retroviral drug already on the market, can prevent new HIV infections when taken daily. The findings, which were released in part last year and appear this week in final form, offer hope for men and women -- gay and straight -- who are at high risk for contracting HIV from their partners. "What we're looking at here is a new HIV prevention strategy, an approach that hadn't been tested before," said Jared Baeten, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Washington's School of Public Health. "By having the medication already in their blood stream and in their cells, by the time they came into contact with virus, it would block the virus from taking hold. It would block them from getting infected."
Baeten's study followed 4,700 "serodiscordant" couples -- in which one member was HIV-positive and the other negative -- in Kenya and Uganda. Previous research had shown the efficacy of Truvada in reducing the risk of the disease among men who have sex with men, and Baeten's team hoped to expand the data to heterosexual partners. In addition to receiving a daily drug -- either Truvada or a placebo -- the HIV-negative subjects received STI testing, AIDS awareness counseling, and access to condoms. At the end of the trial, men and women in the Truvada arm of the study were 75 percent less likely to contract HIV than their untreated counterparts. (That figure, while impressive, is even conservative. It included every subject who was given Truvada, regardless of whether they remembered to take it.)
Later, Baeten went back and isolated just those participants who actually took the drug, as evidenced by their blood work. Their level of protection? Ninety percent.
Bottom line, says Baeten: "Compliance with this medication is the key to it working." Missed doses may be forgiving for a day or two, but physicians aren't certain, and consider the drug safe enough -- side effects include nausea and dizziness, and in some cases a loss in bone density -- to give to otherwise healthy patients on a daily basis.

Newest variation on the Simply Shift free pattern! I bought this navy seagull fabric at Hancock. They had a great selection of chiffon print. Way better than JoAnn's IMHO.
I thought it would be interesting to pair this print with hot pink tights and gold accessories. I got the gold necklace at Old Navy for only $10. I can't find it online but it might still be in your store.

Unsung Hero: Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard and Pete Ploszek for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
by Perri Nemiroff Posted 131 days ago
There are a lot of problems with Jonathan Liebesman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but it's just entertaining enough and that's in large part due to the title characters who, for some reason, aren't the stars of the film. Rather than run with what made the original movies so special and put the focus on the brotherhood and dynamics of their relationship, we get a movie about April O'Neil's aspiration to become a hard news reporter.
Thanks to the fact that Megan Fox and Will Arnett are two of the most famous names in the film, the four guys responsible for the heart of it, the Turtles, aren't even getting a fraction of the amount of recognition they deserve, so this edition of Unsung Hero goes to Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard and Pete Ploszek.

Security National Financial Corporation Reports Financial Results For The Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2011
Security National Financial Corporation (SNFC) (NASDAQ symbol "SNFCA") announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
SNFC announced revenues of $41,325,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This represents a 10% decrease from 2010. Pre-tax earnings from operations for the three-month period increased 3% from $813,000 in 2010 to $835,000. After-tax earnings increased 53% from $503,000 in 2010 to $770,000 in 2011.
SNFC announced revenues of $111,964,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This represents a 12% decrease from 2010. Pre-tax loss from operations for the nine-month period decreased from $(745,000) in 2010 to $(347,000) in 2011. After-tax earnings increased from a $(28,000) loss in 2010 to a gain of $457,000 in 2011.
Scott Quist, President of the Company, said, "Our life segment continues its excellent revenue growth and profitability results. Our death care segment is actually performing on an operational basis significantly better than prior years, but its segment results continue to be somewhat masked by the depreciation charges they incur by virtue of the REO they have undertaken and manage for their sister companies. We have accomplished considerable change in our mortgage segment, changing to a more retail-dominated distribution model. Two years ago our distribution model was approximately 85% wholesale origination but as of this quarter 65% of our production will be retail. There is a much better acceptance in the marketplace for retail-generated loans. We have been able to accomplish that conversion without a significant deterioration of our market share. Without question the mortgage market continues to be very troubled nationwide and to decline in overall size, but we believe we have cause for some optimism."SNFC has three business segments. The following table shows the revenues and earnings before taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 2010 for each of the three business segments:

Asphalt 8: Airborne Review
Asphalt 8: Airborne is finally out! After first launching on the iPhone in its fourth iteration years ago, the game has evolved tremendously and the latest Asphalt arrives simultaneously on both Android and iOS, the world's two most popular platforms. With steady improvements for years on, Asphalt 8 culminates to be one of the best arcade racing games on mobile. Here's why.
Gameplay feels like an action movie
There is not a hint of realism - for that you'd have to go to games like Real Racing 3, but there is not a hint of tranquility either - the game keeps you on the edge all the time.
The action packed gameplay is addictive and we mean it. The adrenaline you get from the speed and the dynamics of the game will keep you wanting to play "just one more track." The game is not easy! You'd be able to win the first few events without much effort, but you'd find yourself putting a lot of extra effort to get the maximum amount of stars for each track later on. And that money is piling up way too slow given how expensive top car models are.
Asphalt 8: Airborne has a ton of replay value and countless hours of gameplay. There might be eight tracks (all of them are gorgeous), but you have a whopping 8 seasons with 15 tracks each. That's a total of 120 challenges! You'd have to replay a lot of the challenges to either finish first, or do some tricks for an extra star.
Asynchronous multiplayer means you can race your friends anytime
Priced at the affordable $0.99, virtually everyone can afford to buy the game and this one dollar price has allowed the developer to keep in-app purchases less intrusive and not in your face. Remember Real Racing 3 where you had to wait for hours (literally!) for car repairs? There's none of that intrusive in-app purchase promotion here.
- Extremely engaging, dynamic action-filled gameplay
- Gorgeous graphics, matching aggressive soundtrack
- Tons of replay value, great cars

The graphics are OK but it mostly looks like kids game. You don't get such a feeling when playing the NFS MW.
3. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1384; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
this is true with the entire Asphalt series , lots of great cars (you get Ferraris unlike the EA ) but the overly annoying woman driver , cartoonish graphics and gameplay that defy's the laws of physics make it more suitable for younger gamers
13. valapsp (Posts: 484; Member since: 12 Aug 2011)
youre right.
25. kenobi (Posts: 35; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
You're half right. Until the 7, it was childish. this 8 is more heavy on fast pumping fun which is the fast lane of racing games and somehow i found that it covers up the childish side. This one expand more beyond young gamers to fun gamers

Sir, since you used note 2, what variant is it? N7100? Also, does it lag? Thank you.!
6. superfans (Posts: 151; Member since: 30 Jul 2012)
I know It lags on my device ! Waste of money ! Btw, I use iPhone 4S ! Might try on s4 later.
16. vincelongman (Posts: 1707; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
Dam, Asphalt 7 was already very laggy on my iPod Touch 4, so I guess 8 will be far too laggy.
7. Victor.H (Posts: 462; Member since: 27 May 2011)
No lag on our Galaxy Note II, perfectly smooth, it was the N7100.
10. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Thank you. Might try this. Wasn't impressed by nfs most wanted on my note 2, maybe this might.
8. rawbow (Posts: 428; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
no lags in the iPhone 5 too, enjoying every bit of this awesome game

What the hell happened to image 19? i know the game has only been out for a day but wasnt expecting a Minecraft reenactment so soon. lol. Love this game. Will be playing it most of the weekend.

9. evarod48 (Posts: 148; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
it sounds like you say asshole when you say asphalt
11. livyatan (Posts: 753; Member since: 19 Jun 2013)
Victor, does it have google games integration?
I'd hate to start playing this and get hooked and then not be able to transfer the progress to my future device.
Also, does it stick with medium graphic settings on the Note 2?
I've heard that it does so on the galaxy S3, yet I can't believe this is how good it looks on medium settings.
Just imagine the potential these graphics promise- playing this on the upcoming snapdragon 800 devices ( about 6-8 times the performance of the GPU in the Note 2) and optimized for all that power, it should look truly spectacular and far beyond anything on portable consoles.
14. Victor.H (Posts: 462; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Thanks for asking! Sadly there's no cloud save. Hence, there's no way to transfer your progress across devices. Lets hope an update would fix this like with RR3.
24. kenobi (Posts: 35; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
I don't know about it in android, but for IOS they provide cloud saved profile so don't worry about progressing between devices
12. MirOsamahAli (Posts: 25; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
I tried all graphics quality options, its pretty amazing on high, but the framerates :/
The quality and gameplay is pretty slick on low setting, not very low.
- Nexus 7 2012
15. Jobayer (Posts: 153; Member since: 22 Feb 2013)
love the game! ppl who say its for kids don't know what they r in for ,but on the contrary the landing of cars are like Airplanes which is not appreciated should learn from GRID :D
17. rency0722 (Posts: 71; Member since: 12 Jun 2013)
Why didn't you try in the Nexus 7 II or in Xperia Z Ultra?
18. imkyle (Posts: 1023; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
Or even a Nexus 4 like everyone else is doing on YouTube.

How is this game on iPad 2? Any lag?
20. ideal_josh (Posts: 29; Member since: 26 Nov 2012)
i have the game on ipad 2 and galaxy s3, perfect on both. my galaxy s3 ran preety hot after an hour and a half of gameplay, ipad, well had some screen tearing at the beginning of some races, but damn the game is awesome
21. TuanGugu (Posts: 46; Member since: 07 Jun 2013)
Is the $0.99 price going to be a permanent one or is it just for a promotion period? Anyone please answer. I'm thinking of buying this game if that price is a promotion & it might go up after this...
22. PootisMan (Posts: 204; Member since: 02 Aug 2013)
No I am pretty sure that's the permanent price it's going to go on sale for, meaning that it isn't a promotion.
23. kenobi (Posts: 35; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
Some notes about the game which should have been noticed if u played for several hours.
First, the reward system is, well, not rewarding. Not enough credits from winning to purchase upgrade and new cars. And that force us to look into the in-app purchase. Everybody would rather purchase the more expensive version with better reward system. And about the online multiplayer World Series, they should give more credits for the brave players who participate more and winning 2nd and 3rd posts rather than just giving the credits for the cowards who only participate on the game they could win
26. louisthomson3 (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Aug 2013)
I pleased on the awesomeness of Asphalt 8 while playing. What may be the imagination of reality for Asphalt 9 ??

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Wizards are without starters Nick Young and Josh Howard for Saturday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Washington coach Flip Saunders says Young is out because he has the flu, and Howard will sit because of a pulled left hamstring.
Young leads the Wizards with 17.9 points a game. Howard missed 21 games in January and February due to a sore left knee, but has averaged 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16 games.
Minnesota's Wes Johnson was also out for the second straight game with flulike symptoms. The Timberwolves' Darko Milicic missed his third straight game for personal reasons, and Martell Webster was out for the seventh game in a row due to a sore back.

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! It's so good to talk to you again! A lot has happened in
the last month since I won the REPEAT competition.
But before I go into that, I have to know…was it killing you, like it was me, to wait a
week to find out who was going to win the final challenge of REPEAT? I completely
understand why it was needed, but it was a little like those long, drawn out pauses
on reality TV, where you just wanna yell at the T.V. "say it, already!" I woke up the
morning of with a stomach full of knots. My husband called me on his way to work
to tell me to check TPB, so he was with me when I read the news. It was pure elation
+ relief + gratefulness. Everything you'd imagine feeling winning a competition after
months of hard work! At the same time, I, more than any one else, have an inkling
of how Krissy & Jessica might have been feeling. Because I was preparing myself
to be in their shoes, too. Hats off to both of you not only for your beautiful final
collections, but for your friendly competition over the past months!
In the weeks following the final challenge, I took some time off from designing
patterns to work on a graphic design project for a sewing business, Paisley
Handmade. I designed the new logo, business cards, and etsy banner, etc. It was a
lot of fun. I'd love to do it again!
And I sort of did – for myself. During my last semester of grad school, I designed all
of my branding materials, so I had everything ready to go. I just needed to get all
of it printed. I also set up a facebook and twitter page for my business. I'd love it if
you'd follow / like me there!
I also attended my very first quilt guild meeting in August. It was their show-and-
tell night, so it was fun to see what everyone had been working on. What a wealth of
knowledge and experience! I'm looking forward to getting to know the Sioux Prairie
Quilters better!
Speaking of quilting, our plans for Quilt Market are in full swing! Madeleine, Ellen &
I met up online a few weeks ago to talk logistics. It was so fun. Can I just say how
much I already like them? I can't wait to see what's in store for the two of them and
for The Printed Bolt! As for me, I'm currently busy filling up my portfolio and hoping
to have a new collection of beautiful patterns to share when I'm in Houston. I've
got a task list a mile long and I'm positive I won't be able accomplish all of it, but I'm
gonna give it my best shot! Wish me luck and check me out on facebook / twitter so
you can follow my progress…and so I can get to know you better, too. I love nothing
more than a comment or message from a new person! Enjoy your weekend!

Only three champs can stack up a Tear during the duration of Dom game in an amount of time that would make the Tear a good addition to their build. As cool as it is to see Singed, Amumu, or Ryze whip out the old Muramana at the 10min mark, it'd be 1000x cooler to see an AD champ use that item before the 20min mark a.k.a. the end of a game.
Pic related.
How, exactly, does Singed profit from building muramana?
I bet Karma could do it now.
I tend to get Muramana on Blitz circa 15 mins, and he has reasonably long cooldowns.
As a side note, it's kind of amusing how tear is such a good item on Ryze, but he's the only one that can't charge it at the start of the game.
Eh, I wouldn't be against the idea of having Dom-specific tear.
Dom games last about half as long as SR games. Therefore, Dom needs a version of Tear that requires only half as many stacks and a version of RoA that stacks in 5mins.

Lace is a great place to go to no matter what you're looking for in your wedding. They truly have it all! I picked out jewelry for myself, a bracelet in particular and it was stunning. I received compliments all night long and the best part is it was reasonably priced. My bridesmaid picked out earring from here as we'll and they all looked beautiful. Best part about this place is the customer service, the ladies that work here are great! So nice and helpful, they truly love what they do!

But as you'll see, we of course had depreciation which was driven predominantly by multiples and spreads in the industry as opposed to performance of our portfolio of companies. So let's start at Slide 3. You can see the $0.19 net operating income per share, $65 million of total. We had a nice 10.3% effective yield on our debt assets. And just to remind folks, our cost of borrowing at American Capital on average is at 4.2%.
