I bought this house this past October and the back of the house faces the street. I plan on residing, addressing the paint color, and redesigning the planting beds but have no ideas on what to do with this boring facade. One suggestion is to place horizontal siding on the lower half with vertical above (I am 50/50 on this idea). There is that corrugated fiberglass stuff to the left of the picture that will be removed as well to open up the porch. Any ideas? |

A 1950s house is considered new on the Old House Forum. :) I would post this on the Home Decorating forum along with photos of the house. They will want to see a photo of the front. |

The first thing I would do is get rid of those shutters (Shudder!) And window boxes. They are pretty awful with the MCM vibe of the home. If you are planning on residing, then board and batten would be a good way to go. It gives a lot of visual interest and would be appropriate. NO to any half and half splitting the home in two. Choose a contrasting color for the windows, and go easy on the trim. Maybe an architectural shingle for the roof to also up it's textural nature. Right now, the home is fighting hard against it's basic nature, which IS a simple box structure. That simple box structure is what makes it attractive. It's it's essence. |

What about working with the landscaping more than the house itself? Getting rid of the shutters and window boxes, but adding a low, horizontal patio or deck or something? |
Here is a link that might be useful: entry, but kind of this idea
I would tear out those windows and out in longer ones when you reside. Those short ones make it look like a mobile home from that veiw. |

The low eave and low-sloped roof will make the house boring regardless of the window design; can you add a cross gable? |
- Posted by kashka_kat (My Page) on Mon, Apr 8, 13 at 11:02
I assume the house does have an actual entrance of some sort, just on some other side of the house? Where is the driveway? I think it would be pointless to try to create some fake architecture that resembles an entrance, without being one. I guess my inclination would be to just de-emphasize the view of the house from the street, paint in earthy colors, get rid of the lawn and put in trees, shrubs, flower beds - some sort of attractive landscaping there for the neighbors to look at instead of an entrance to a house. It is what it is - I think I would actually would love the privacy aspect of it - play up the feel of a secluded house in the woods or parklike setting. Bigger windows would help too - one reason being that if you have more naturalistic setting you would then have a better view to look at. But don't do tall skinny windows - the windows would proportionately need to be the same, as appropriate for midcentury homes whichstill had that strong prairie influence (horizontal lines, broad wide windows, etc. |
- Posted by kashka_kat (My Page) on Wed, Apr 10, 13 at 11:16
Just had another thought about this if you are still interested. What's on that side of the house - would it make sense to add a sun porch on that side and have that provide some attractive (but simple) prairie-style architectural interest. |

Last year when Trialpay started to get more popularity, I went ahead and gathered a list of about 280 trialpay offers, meaning programs and services that you could get for free by testing other offers they had from advertisers. The principle of Trialpay didn't change, just that they added more products, and there are now more advertisers:
- you see that a product/service you want to buy offers a "Get it free with Trialpay" option and click on that link where you'll see the trialpay purchase page
- next you'll see what offers are available from advertisers for your country; if you're from US/UK, there's hundreds of advertisers to choose an offer from; and choose carefully, because you'll might find an offer that doesn't require you to purchase anything, simply signing up for a service
- after you complete the details for that offer (they guide you what to do), you'll receive the key for that product
Hope you find it useful, it "only" took me two days to gather all this information :). And yes, if you have a program you'd like to suggest add it in the comments and it will be added when I will update this.

I am having Closet World come out on Monday to give me a bid for closet storage etc. Does anyone have any experience with them or any other closet systems? Home Depot has one. Could use any advice you have to offer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Our entire closet which is the size of a bedroom was done by California Closets. I'm happy with the quality and the workmen who installed it. My only gripe is that I don't have enough shoe space. Probably half my fault the rest was the designer's. Nevermind there's adequate space on hubby's side for me to store more shoes! FYI our designer recommended buying slim pants hangers from Lillian Vernon for DH to hang his slacks. They are thinner and more uniform and we get far more on the closet pole than with a regular hanger. Also they hang higher so we can utilize a double hung closet with a shelf in the middle to hold folded sweaters. |

The goal here is for me to give some broad direction as to how to develop an Asp.net application. These tips will not tell you how to build an application or how to achieve certain functionality. That is up to the developer. The only goal here is guidance.
Data Model
In complex system the data model is varied. There's lots of common data across multiple classes, and there's lots of variations on the same theme. How do you tackle this problem? This is the gospel truth, but I've found a way to mitigate class bloat to some degree.
User interfaces for common data items. Multiple classes may need locking flags. Create an interface called ILockable. Multiple classes may need to keep track of what project it relates to. Create a class called IProjectResident.
User interfaces for common functionality. You're going to have several objects, for example, that correspond to an entry in a database table. An interface called IDatabase would contain methods for setting up queries for that object.
Create standard base classes. Every data model has common functionality and data that is shared across a large number of classes. Defining those such classes will make code more maintainable and will reduce the repetition of code.
Use a pattern of interface, abstract class, and specific class instance. First creating an interfaces that define high level properties and methods. Next, create abstract classes that define baseline implementations for each of those interfaces. Finally, create an implementation, extending the appropriate abstract class, of each version of each interface.
Use C#'s multiple inheritance. An interface and a class can have multiple interfaces, so multiple functionality and data combinations can be formed. This ability, again, makes code more maintainable, and it reduces code that is repeated.
User Interface
The interface is where the money is made on the website. The UI provides the functionality that the customer demands. What separates good sites from bad sites is how that functionality works, how maintainable it is, and how extensible it is. All of that stems directly from how well the UI is designed.
Understand the technologies involved. Asp.net, for example, allows events, for a page and controls, to be processed on the server side. Processing all events using postbacks to the server degrades performance. A technology like AJAX, for example, allows communication with the server without doing postbacks, which helps to improve page performance. The point is not review, in an exhaustive list, every technology and what each is good for. The point is that designing a good UI involves understanding what technology exists and where each should and shouldn't be used.
Develop a UI model. The temptation is to simply embed the standard controls and give them server side events. Baseline control classes, for both user controls and web controls, should be created. Common functionality can be centralized to improve maintainability and reduce repeated. Basic extensions of each standard control type could also be created. Logic specific to your controls can be created. Specialized versions of each extended control should be created for different situations. This allows a robust and varied UI.
Template your pages. The layout of pages should follow consistent patterns. One general pattern can be developed and then specialized for each type of page. This helps with maintainability. The UI modeled described above can be used to achieve this.
Integrate multiple technologies into you UI model. JavaScript, AJAX, Web Services, Flex, Flash, etc. have a lot to offer. Take advantage of that. There may be a headache in designing how to integrate each and how to combine them, but you will have a better site as a result. Cutting corners, if you can avoid it, is never a good thing.
These tips come from my experience as an Asp.net developer. Certainly there are many tips that could be included here. These are the ones that come most readily to mind. Good luck with your development, and I hope that these tips have been helpful.

MUCH HAS BEEN written about former Marin Catholic High quarterback Jared Goff's even-keeled temperament and cool demeanor under fire.
Jumping into a hotly-contested three-way battle for the starting quarterback spot at Cal last spring after graduating from high school early, Goff calmly collected the top prize when new Bears' head coach Sonny Dykes announced his decision on Friday.
"It's kind of crazy — gosh it was so up and down. There were days when we felt he would get the starting job, but the other two guys were so good, too," said Jared's dad, Jerry Goff, a former major-league catcher for Montreal, Pittsburgh and Houston. "Jared's probably happy as hell it's over with and he can start getting comfortable and start leading the team where it's supposed to go."
Not long after spring practice ended — and with Cal's starting quarterback job still very much up in the air — Jared, not surprisingly, was just being Jared when he appeared confident and calm and said, "All I can do is work hard and do my best and keep getting better everyday. If I do that, I should be in a good place when August rolls around."
His mom, Nancy Goff — who will celebrate 25 years of marriage to Jerry in November — said Jared has been level-headed and mostly unflappable since he was a boy.
"He's got this really laid back way about him, he's always been super calm," Nancy said. "But with that he's always had a lot of confidence. I think he has a lot more confidence than he even lets people see. He was excited to go over to Cal early. A lot of people questioned his decision about graduating early from high school, but he never wavered from it."
Both of Jared's parents attended Cal and Jerry played third base for Cal in 1983-84 and punted for the Cal football team in 1986.
"It was his idea to enroll early. He came to us and told us he wanted to graduate from high school early," Jerry said. "He really wanted to get acclimated so when fall came around, he would be ready. He had a game plan and we supported him all along."
Marin Catholic head football coach Mazi Moayed was confident in his star quarterback's quest to be Cal's starter despite the long odds of accomplishing the goal as a true freshman.
"I saw how he was performing in spring practices and I thought he had a great shot at the starting position," Moayed said. "But you have to be able to sustain that level and he was able to do that and win the spot. That says a lot about Jared and a lot about the Cal coaching staff's confidence in him. The fact that they have the faith to give him the role to lead a bunch of older guys on the field, that speaks volumes about Jared."
Moyaed said Jared is the first player he has coached to earn a starting spot at an NCAA Division I college as a true freshman, although he has had a handful of former players earn starting spots for D-I programs.
"Not many guys start as true freshmen at any position," Moayed said.
With a new coach and a new system in place at Cal this season, Moayed said the situation worked out perfectly for Jared.
"That really helped him with coach Dykes coming in," Moayed said. "When coach Dykes came in, everybody got sort of an equal opportunity — new system, new coach, new relationships — everyone started off on even playing field and that really helped him. I'm not sure he would have had the same opportunity if that transition hadn't taken place."
Both Jared's dad and his former coach pretty much have the same advice for the new Cal quarterback as he prepares to face Northwestern, Ohio State and Oregon in three of his first four games.
"I talk to Jared every day. We talk about life and football and expectations," Jerry said. "I tell him ... 'Do what you do, there's no reason to do anything different now. It has gotten you where you are now.' There's no reason for him to act differently."
Moayed echoes the same sentiment.
"The main thing for a guy like Jared is simple — just does what he does and what he's done his whole life, and that's compete and play football."
But mom, not surprisingly, has a little different advice for her son and maybe it's the best advice of all.
"He has to have faith in his offensive line and know they are going to do their job," Nancy said. "All these years he's had really good people protecting him. I love the offensive line. I will do whatever they want — make cookies, make milkshakes, whatever they want."

We've had these Schuco triple-pane patio doors for several years now. Sliding them has never been easy, but now that I have carpal injuries to both my forearms it's near impossible.
I know that they have an adjustable roller down at the bottom, but unfortunately, I don't think the company that did the installation left any information, and I think they're out of business.

Installing Java
Several web-based Administrative Systems at UCL require the use of an additional Java plug-in component to the browser in order to run.
This page outlines how to get Java, how UCL Admin Systems make use of it, and common problems that you may encounter.
Please Note: As of 2014, all UCL Admin Systems are compatible with Java 7 and we recommend installation of the latest update version. Java 8 is not yet verified to work with Admin Systems at UCL. |
Who needs to download?
There are two options available for using Java with UCL Administrative Systems:
Windows Users:
- Install Java 7: Windows users may install Java 7 on their desktop PCs and run systems directly from their internet browsers. See below for a link to the latest Java version.
Mac Users:
- Install Java 7 from Oracle - see link below. Note that the version of Java supplied by Apple dopes not include a web browser plug-in. You must install Java 7 from Oracle to be able to use Admin Systems directly on your computer.
Managed Services:
- If you are using the Staff WTS or Desktop@UCL Managed Services, Java will already be installed and you need do nothing.
- Users of ADS computers may not have the latest version of Java - if in doubt, contact the ADS Helpdesk.
- If you are running Administrative Systems from your own or a departmentally managed computer, you need to check first if you have Java installed - see below.
Alternative Methods:
- If you are unable to install or run Java or the necessary browser plugins on your desktop computer or device, they can instead be accessed using the Staff WTS service.
Java Versions
As of March 2014, ISD recommends that users install the latest update of Java 7. This will be compatible with all Oracle Java based applications used at UCL.
If you do not have software installation privileges
Please ask your system administrator to install Java on your behalf - installing Java will require administrative rights to your computer.
If you have software installation privileges
Download and Install Java 7 from the Java website. Select the version most appropriate for your operating system, e.g.:
- Windows x86 for Windows XP or Windows 7
- Windows x64 for 64-bit versions of Windows (inc Windows 7)
- Mac OS X x64 for Apple Macs
Uninstall Old Versions: We recommend that all older versions of Java are removed. Older versions of Java can make systems very insecure and vulnerable to being compromised. |
Common Problems with Firefox
- The Firefox browser may have disabled the Java plugin, particularly if you have an out-of-date version of Java installed. If you are using your own computer, always update to the latest version of Java 7.
- WTS 2010 users may have problems with the Java plugin if using Firefox. This is because WTS 2010 uses an older Java version that is disabled by default by this browser. For WTS 2010, we recommend either using Internet Explorer 8 or, alternatively, using the Firefox Add-ons page to re-enable the Java plugin.
Older Versions of Java
We recommend that you always use the latest version of Java 7. Installers for previous versions are available but should only be installed if advised by you support team.

free radical

nounDefinition of FREE RADICAL
First Known Use of FREE RADICAL
free radical
noun (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of FREE RADICAL
free radical
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Molecule containing at least one unpaired electron. Most molecules contain even numbers of electrons, and their covalent bonds normally consist of shared electron pairs. Cleavage of such bonds produces two separate free radicals, each with an unpaired electron (in addition to any paired electrons). They may be electrically charged or neutral and are highly reactive and usually short-lived. They combine with one another or with atoms that have unpaired electrons. In reactions with intact molecules, they abstract a part to complete their own electronic structure, generating new radicals that go on to react with other molecules. Such chain reactions are particularly important in decomposition of substances at high temperatures and in polymerization. In the human body, oxidized (see oxidation-reduction) free radicals can damage tissues. Antioxidant nutrients (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium) may reduce these effects. Heat, ultraviolet radiation, and ionizing radiation (see radiation injury) all generate free radicals. They are magnetic, so their properties can be studied with such techniques as magnetic susceptibility and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements.

When Theo Epstein left his position as General Manager of the Boston Red Sox to become the President of the Chicago Cubs, it was believed that the small matter of compensation for the move would be settled quickly and easily between the two parties.
Unfortunately, the process dragged on. And on. And on some more, until Major League Baseball had to get involved.
Months later it's been decided that 26 year old right handed reliever Chris Carpenter will be switching organizations, along with a player to be named later swapped for a different player to be named later (because who doesn't enjoy further complications?), in order to settle the matter.
All that negotiating. All that time dealing with questions from the press. All for a control lacking pitcher who has walked almost 15% of the 47 batters he's faced in his Major League career to date.
In terms of attention to importance ratio, this was the Rule V draft of compensation transactions.

Once again, this site saved us money, and more than that, expands our awareness that there ARE worthwhile domain and hosting coupons for the arena it is toughest to find for: renewals! (Once they get a customer, daddy and the rest seem to forget that it's cheaper to get a new customer than to keep a current customer happily repeating).
Have wanted to thank you before, and feel guilty that I haven't extended the standing ovation you deserve. You're very very very much appreciated, and there must be plenty of savvy domainists out there who appreciate a renewal wizard. So, thank you, and great energy to you.

Two's through Fifth Graders
Sunday school is offered to children from 2 years old through high school.
Sunday school for children and youth runs from September through May. The curriculum we use for our children ages 2 through the 5th grade is SPARK from Group Augsburg Fortress. SPARK offers a fun and developmentally appropriate look at the foundational stories of our faith. There is a take home sheet each week that allows the learning to continue at home with daily devotions.
For more information about Sunday school classes, contact Cathryn Hewett, director of Faith Formation.
Confirmation Sunday School Class
(6th-8th Grades)
Our 6th and 7th graders journey through the Old and New Testaments as well as in alternating years as part of their confirmation experience. This class meets from 9:45-10:45 a.m. in the basement of education building from September through May. For more information, visit the Confirmation page.
High School Sunday School Class (9th-12th Grades)
The 9th-12th grade youth enjoy open discussion on many different topics. Open exchange of ideas, concerns and joys are encouraged in this small group setting. This class meets from 9:45-10:45 in the high school youth room in the basement of education building from September through May. For more information, visit the Sunday School page.
Learning is a life long process and we encourage all adults to engage in learning and faith talk. St. Philip offers two adult Sunday school classes for that very purpose.
Faith and Fellowship Class
Faith and Fellowship is an adult multi-generational Sunday school class that addresses multiple faith topics in an open discussion format. This class meets from September through May in Luther Hall from 9:45-10:45. Join us!!
Augsburg Class
This class uses the International Sunday School Lessons for Christian Teaching, as used by millions of Christians every Sunday throughout the world. Our specific lessons are published by the ELCA Augsburg Publishing Company. The lessons provide a study trip through the entire Bible once every three years. Each Sunday lesson is led by one of four regular teacher-facilitators and an occasional "guest celebrity" teacher. In each lesson, we read the selected scripture, do our best to understand it – with help by the teacher-facilitator, and then engage each other in lots of free discussion on what the teachings mean to us. We meet on all Sundays of the year not superseded by a special all-congregation event. There is continuity in the lessons, yet each lesson is designed to stand on its own. All are welcome at any time.

Memorandum of Understanding - signed - English version [PDF 96 KB]
Memorandum of Understanding - signed - Portuguese version [PDF 102 KB]
The Government of Australia and The Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil (both hereinafter referred to as "the Participants"),
- Recalling that Australia and Brazil signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the Establishment of an Enhanced Partnership at New York on 21 September 2010;
- Considering that Brazil is the host country for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro;
- Considering that Australia has hosted the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games and other major international sporting events including the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, the 2003 Rugby World Cup and the 2001 Brisbane Goodwill Games;
- Noting that the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil is determined to make the planning, preparation and hosting of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 an opportunity to contribute to the strengthening, prosperity and diversity of the Brazilian economy and to build a strong legacy, including a sustainability and environmental legacy, and significant sporting, social, cultural and educational benefits;
- Noting that the Government of Australia is determined to promote its capabilities in the planning, management and delivery of major international sporting events and seeks to contribute to Brazil's successful hosting of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and other major international sporting events and through this cooperation establish long-term sporting, social, cultural and educational relations with Brazil;
- Recognising the potential benefits arising from cooperating and exchanging information on key issues around governance structure and the legacies arising from the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games;
- Desiring to promote and strengthen bilateral relations and cooperation between the two countries in the field of sport;
Have reached the following understandings:
1. General Objectives
This Memorandum of Understanding provides the framework within which detailed proposals for programs for sports cooperation are to be jointly considered between the Participants on the basis of reciprocity and mutual benefit and, where appropriate, commercial opportunities. This Memorandum of Understanding is intended to be non-legally binding in nature, but it is the expression of the strong will of the Participants to promote bilateral cooperation.
2. Knowledge Sharing
In order to pursue the above objectives, the Government of Australia, through the Office for Sport in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) and relevant ministries and agencies, and the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil, through the Ministry of Sport and other institutions, intend to facilitate a structured program of visits from government officials and the Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) to share knowledge and best practice concerning:

- systems, infrastructure and services utilised in hosting major sporting events;
- initiatives to promote and manage community involvement leading up to and during major sporting events;
- initiatives to promote cultural activities during major sporting events; and

- creating opportunities for Australian and Brazilian companies in accordance with their legal and regulatory responsibilities; and
- identifying other areas where Australia and Brazil can exchange expertise arising from hosting major international sporting events, including the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
4. Effect and Amendment
This Memorandum of Understanding will come into effect upon signature by both Participants and will continue in operation until terminated by either Participant giving three months' written notice, through diplomatic channels. This Memorandum of Understanding may be amended at any time, by mutual consent of the Participants, through diplomatic channels.

I won't be preoccupied with what Mitt Romney and Barack Obama say tonight. I am interested in how they carry themselves. Will one of the candidates sigh and invade the other's personal space? Will the president habitually glance down at his watch? Will a candidate show up with a sickly, sweaty pallor and a five-o'clock shadow? Politicians win or lose the public based on emotional, rather than intellectual, connections.
My election predictions are coming true. Obushma's poll numbers have dropped significantly since the "gaffes" (the true thoughts and feelings of conservatives), which have done nothing to hurt Romney with his base. This election will be about bringing the base to the polls, and has been since the Rove/Bush era. This is why Rove was so successful; he understood that energizing the base is the only way to win an election. The whole idea of appealing to moderates in this political age is idiotic.
Conventional wisdom has Romney and Obushma drawing in tonight's debate. If Romney manages to draw tonight and in the two subsequent debates, and barring any major and actual gaffes, Romney will win the presidency by 2-4% points nationally, with narrow victories in Ohio, Virginia, and Florida.
The Intrade markets have Obushma at 7.30 a share, down from 7.90, just as I predicted. Those share prices will continue to plummet.
Its unfortunate that in this American Idol oriented country we live in that politics and theater are thisclose. Its more unfortunate that all Barack Insane Obama has going for him is presentation and a flare for politics while Mitt Romneys only flaw is that he is not a politician and merely a really good CEO.
Obamas mismanagement and piss poor incompetent handling of the economy and international affairs will be masked by smooth baritones while Romney could explain how he would be best to improve this country until the cows come home and most people will barely listen.
This debate will likely determine if this country opts to continue to be the United States of America or head toward a third world banana republic under the most dangerous and flawed Chief Executive in history.
"The whole idea of appealing to moderates in this political age is idiotic."
I could not agree more. This is something the Romney campaign has yet to get a handle on.
I don't understand why this is so. And I really don't understand why, for the last 20 years, no candidate has taken up the flag of true regualtory reform to bring back the manufacturing sector. I assume that is due to the extreme fear of the Environmental crowd (as they would be up in arms over any effective changes to the regulatory landscape), but surely the average American would agree that we can't afford to deprive ourselves of food and housing just to make ourselves feel better about an imagined "saving" of the planet. If Romney truely went this bold (I know he won't), the debate would hinge on issues as well. The media can ignore or refuse to air good arguments on the President's turf, they CAN'T ignore stark policy differences.
"we can't afford to deprive ourselves of food and housing just to make ourselves feel better about an imagined "saving" of the planet."
There are 18.5 million vacant homes, and 3.5 million homeless people.
There is a food surplus in our country every year.
The only reason we are domestically depriving anyone of these things is because there is no profit to be had.
Obama blinked and avoided eye contact more. I think it was a tie on Logos, Romney won on pathos and ethos. Romney started strong but Obama had more time.

I've read that potted geraniums can live several years, even decades. My geranium is a monster at two-and-a-half years of age. Is there any special care that it requires as it ages? And can I grow a new one from a cutting? It has a much thicker stem than the type of of plants I normally grow from cuttings. Do I dry out the cutting and use a root hormone or should I just stick it in water until it roots like I would do with my pothos or my wandering jew? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by hawkeye_wx z5 east-central IA (My Page) on Sun, Feb 26, 12 at 15:15
A couple weeks ago I brought some geraniums back up from a cool, dark basement to get them started growing again. A couple of them had a few tender green stems several inches long. When I cut them back to pot up I just threw the leftover small green pieces of stem into some water. They began growing almost immediately and now they are rooting as well. I am about to pot up a couple of them. I still have a couple larger, thicker 2+ year-old geraniums dormant in the basement that are still full of tender green stems. I could probably start a bunch of new plants with those. |
- Posted by dowlinggram none (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 8:40
You can grow plenty of cuttings from your old geranium. You can grow as many cuttings as there are growing tips and it won't hurt your mother geranium plant one bit. While I grow a few geraniums from seed every year most of my plants come from cuttings taken from plants I overwinter. I have been doing it for many years and have tried all different ways and this is what works for me. First you have to know that all branches on plants and all roots on cuttings come from a leaf node(joint) TAKING GERANIUM CUTTINGS Do not skip the callusing over. It is one of the best things I have found to keep blackleg away and do not overwater. Once you have taken your cuttings trim up the mother plant so it has a nice shape. you want cuts above a leaf so a new shoot will sprout there. Good Luck |

I'VE BEEN desperately trying to become a mature adult and thinking of what I want to do when I grow up.
I've had, and continue to have, a nice career yammering about sports, covering events all around the world for virtually every TV network in America. And, fortunately, there remains a couple that think I'm still a few years away from the Hebrew Nursing Home.
It's fun. I work in the toy shop of life, and I'll continue to do so until somebody votes me off the island.
Until this week, I was concerned about what comes next in my life. I'm not a collector; I play golf only for the conversation that accompanies it, and if you ever see me sitting at a table playing canasta — please — hire a hit man for me.
And suddenly, there was my future, right on my own laptop — located in a voluminous file called "Spam."
Who knew the opportunities that presented themselves in spam? In just a single reading of accumulated spam over the past few weeks, I found that I could treat depression, get a nursing degree online, even a Ph.D. if I wanted to subscribe to Fleecer's Weekly for the next millennium.
I could even buy a handy-dandy walk-in bathtub for those pesky times when I could no longer sit on cold porcelain. Spam gave me the opportunity to help a family member with alcohol rehab or refinance my house or even take advantage of several offers, which were written in Chinese. I thought about signing up for one of those, but I hate bok choy.
And, before I read my spam, I had no idea that so many of my friends were careless enough to lose their passports, all their cash and their credit cards just as they were leaving New Guinea, and that in these moments of dire need cared enough about me to ask for the money just to get them back home. It was no problem. I'm getting the money back. I gave them my address, phone number and Social Security number just so they know how to reimburse me.
And then — boy, is this lucky — I heard from two people who have promised to take care of me and my family for the rest of our lives.
The Weir family is holding "800,000 Great British currency" for me. And, all they want is my name, address, cellphone number, age and occupation. What a deal! I don't really know how much money that is in American dollars — I've never been to "Great British."
The "800,000 Great British currency" paled in comparison to my next spam. This one came from Mrs. Natasha Zongo. Mrs. Zongo lives in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and she's looking for a foreign partner to assist her in handling a $10,000,000 fund. True enough, I'd have to split the money with her but, hey, what are partners for? And do you believe it? All they want is my name, address, phone number age and occupation — just like the Weir family.
They promised me the money in 14 days. I'm preparing my retirement letter now.
It was my good fortune also to find an offer on spam that promised an "enlargement." That was good because I'm going to want to have some bigger pictures of my family when I move to Ouagadougou. It also said it could "grow a big package," which I'll obviously need just to load my stuff up for the move to Burkina Faso — where I'll be very rich.
And I always thought that spam was something made to seem like something else just hoping that an eager American consumer would eat it up.

Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering is an internation-al bimonthly journal published by the Korean Society for Biotechnology and Bioengineering. BBE is devoted to the original and novel findings in the wide area of biotechnology and bioengineering. The editors appreciate contributions relevant to basic and applied research of biotechnology and bioengineering. Contributions are classified as Research Ar-ticles and Reviews. Manuscripts should report new and sig-nificant findings that advance the understanding of applied biology & biochemistry, molecular biology & biomolecular engineering, biocatalysis & biotransformation, combinatorial chemistry, microbiology & metabolic engineering, pharma-ceutics & biomaterials, bioprocess control & system engi-neering, bioseparation, biosensor & bioelectronics, cell cul-ture engineering, environmental biotechnology, food tech-nology, and nanobiotechnology.
Research Articles are research reports of new findings. These papers should not exceed 30 double-spaced pages of text (not including the title and reference pages) and contain a precise description and interpretation of research. Reviews are critical assessments of relevant topics of contemporary interest. These papers should not exceed 60 double-spaced pages of text.
The title page of the article should be followed in the order of title, the authors's name and affiliations and the full correspondence address including telephone, fax, e-mail, etc. The main title should be concise, descriptive and informative to the subject of manuscript and should not exceed more than 150 characters. The running title should be restricted to 50 characters.
Provide an abstract which states concisely the objectives and the results of the paper in not more than 250 words. It must be a brief and factual account of contents, conclusions, and relevance of the findings with an emphasis on what readers will gain from the manuscript. Do not cite any reference in the abstract. A list of 4-6 keywords for a subject index should be included on this page.
(1) The recommended format and the capitalization styles of major headings are as follows: Abstract, Keywords, INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION, Acknowledgements, NOMENCLATURE, REFERENCES.
(2) Leave a space between word and parenthesis. Special words of Latin or French origin should be in italic (e.g., in vitro, et al.).
(3) References to published work should be indicated at the appropriate place using brackets (e.g., [2,6-8]), numbered consecutively, and a list of references in numerical order should be provided at the end of the manuscript.
(4) Sources of materials and instruments should be clearly presented together with the names of the appropriate ci-ties and countries.
(5) Units : The SI system should be used for all dimensional quantities. Leave a space between numbers and units except oC and % (e.g., 40 mg/L, 50%, 10 h).
(6) Equations and symbols : Main symbols used in equations and text should be in italic. Superscripts and subscripts should not (e.g., Deff, kLa, Yx/s). Equations must be numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers.
(7) Tables : Type each table on a separate sheet of paper. The table title should have the first letter of the first word capitalized. Details of all necessary additional in-formation can be included in the table footnotes. Pre-ferred font is Arial or Times New Roman with 10 or 12 pt. Table should not contain vertical linings and the cap-tions should be understandable without referring the text.
(8) Figures : Graphs, figures, and other illustrations should be drawn on separate sheets of paper. The uniformity in size of the figures should be maintained carefully. BBE encourages both gray and color illustration as TIFF/EPS files. Use 600 dpi/1200 dpi for illustrations for better clarity. When a figure consists of more than one plot, de-signate each plot as (A), (B), (C), etc. on the upper left-hand side of the plot and refer to it in the text as Fig. 4(A), Fig. 4(B), etc. All figures and lettering must be of a size which remain legible after a 50% reduction of the origi-nal. In the figure caption, only the first letter of the first word in each sentence should be capitalized. Photo-graphs will be accepted if essential to the paper, though an additional charge will be levied. A list of figure cap-tions including explanations of legends should be sup-plied on a separated sheet at the end of the manuscript.
(9) Nomenclature : Symbols used in the text or in equations should be collated and identified with definitions and dimensions. The SI system should be used for all dimensional quantities. Roman symbols are first listed alphabetically, then followed by Greek symbols, superscripts, and subscripts.
All references in this list should be cited at some point in the text. Abbreviate the journal titles as in Chemical Abstracts or Biological Abstracts. References should be presented in the following style :

Source: A reader reporting on a recent focus group surrounding Rock Band packaging and pricing.
What we heard: A GameSpot reader tipped us off this week to a focus group held for Harmonix and MTV's upcoming Rock Band, and the tip contained a number of interesting scraps for those anticipating the game.
First and foremost, the focus group participant said that testers specifically said the game, already announced on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, would be coming to the Wii as well. On top of that, they were told that the game's set list will feature nothing but original artists, and that the drum peripheral (which Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos promised would be "a really impressive piece of hardware") will feature a drum with a kick pedal and real sticks.
There could be some interesting insight in the questions asked of participants during the focus group. The questions generally centered around packaging and pricing, with participants being asked what they thought of a number of prototype packaging designs, as well as different prices for downloadable songs. The reader said that at one point, the group was asked what it thought about a bundle including the game, a wireless guitar, a drum kit, and a microphone being priced at $200. The notion wasn't terribly popular, but it became slightly more appealing to the group when the price was lowered to $175. At $150, the reader said everyone in the group was on board.
It's no surprise that Harmonix is turning to focus-group testing to determine how best to sell Rock Band to the masses. The developer has already indicated that it will be an ambitious enterprise, and an expensive one at that. Guitar Hero showed that people are willing to pay substantially more than the norm for a game under certain circumstances, but Harmonix is still taking a risk. It is going into the same genre and trying to establish a new brand with an unproven game design that looks to hit the intersecting appeal of games like Taiko Drum Master, Karaoke Revolution, and Guitar Hero.
As for the veracity of the source, the reader in question has proven reliable in the past. However, focus groups aren't always run by people deeply involved with the game, and it's possible speculative information was presented to the participants as fact, either unintentionally or to judge the group's reaction to it.
Despite that, this tip seems legit. However, a full Wii version of Rock Band might not arrive alongside the Xbox 360 and PS3 editions of the game. Given the current lack of third-party online games for the Wii, it seems a stretch that Harmonix could have its robust online features in place for a Wii edition this year. Releasing a stripped-down version without online modes would be possible, although it would be curious, given the developer's emphasis on the feature for the Xbox 360 and PS3 editions.
The official story: "We are conducting consumer focus groups for Rock Band but have not finalized any pricing or packaging details. Any speculation at this point is just that--speculation."--Harmonix representative.
Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus.

I have a bag of frozen chicken breast tenders, a couple of questions.
1. Do these need to be thawed out before canning? 2. I know I can raw pack these,one place said to add liquid another place said do not add liquid, what is the best way liquid or no liquid? 3. what do you like better, raw pack or hot pack? Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
Why bother canning them if they're already frozen? Freezing breaks down the cell walls, canning (even raw pack) will break down further, so they'll be mush by the time you actually cook them! |
1. Do these need to be thawed out before canning? Yes, if using raw pack. Otherwise a fair amount of your processing time goes to just thawing them not killing the bacteria - it's purpose. They can still be cold just not frozen solid. If you are going to use hot pack they will thaw during the pre-cooking you do. 2. I know I can raw pack these,one place said to add liquid another place said do not add liquid, what is the best way liquid or no liquid? It is a matter of personal taste. Fresh chicken will make quite a bit of broth in the jars if you go the "don't add liquid route". But frozen chicken makes much less broth so I prefer to use broth when canning frozen chickens. I find that frozen chickens holds up quite well to canning if the pieces aren't cut up small. With chicken tenders I would leave them as is size-wise. Hot pack and raw pack both have their advantages and disadvantages. Overall I much prefer hot pack but many prefer raw pack. You need to try both and see which you prefer. Dave |

ajsmama writes: Freezing breaks down the cell walls... Is there an optimal freezer temp setting? I kinda remember a 1960s fishing mag stating that -5° Fahrenheit was the best for fish fillets. (uncooked) |
Thank you for answering my questions. The reason I want to can the frozen chicken is first because I don't have a lot of room in the freezer, second, I don't like to keep frozen chicken long in the freezer, it seems to get freezer burn before I get it used up, even when it is wrapped good, and third, I like the idea of having it all cooked and ready to use in a quick meal, sandwiches, salads, taco's etc. Anyway thanks again. |
John the coldest you can get your freezer is best and foods keep much longer also if your freezing large amounts of foods its important to spread them out so the freeze quickly Those chickens were originally flash froze at subzero temp and sometimes sprayed with water to help seal them Home canned chicken would be a great convenience and save a lot of money over the tiny cans in the store I do most meats raw pack but have never tried frozen chicken the processing times are the same so it might be a good idea to try both see what you like personally |

Thaw them out first, then process in either broth, water or plain. I prefer broth, personally. That is correct, as cold as you can get the freezer the better. It needs to be at least 0 degrees. If your food is getting freezer burn, is that due to a self defrosting freezer ? I got a manual defrost one again. They are getting hard to find new around here ! |
New at canning, and this may be a stupid question, but can that frozen canned chicken be stored on a shelf, and what would the shelf life be? |
Chicken that was frozen, then thawed and properly canned following the guidelines can be stored on the shelf just like all home canned goods. The shelf life is theoretically unlimited but 2-3 years is a frequently recommended average. Dave |
Canning frozen chicken breasts is a WONDERFUL idea; I do it all the time :) That way I can just pull out a can and reheat the chicken - no thawing or cooking. And honestly, the chicken is more tender and tasty than any cooking method I've tried, including boiling in broth. Home canned chicken is perhaps even better than Costco's high quality canned chicken. You should let the chicken thaw a little, then cut it up; I use one to one-half inch cubish-pieces. Let it thaw. No water or broth is needed. Instructions here: http://proverbsthirtyonewoman.blogspot.com/2012/02/canning-chicken.html |
