Cassini visits Enceladus:New light on a bright world (Released July 2006)

During Cassini's close flyby of Enceladus on 14 July 2005, the High Rate Detector of the Cosmic Dust Analyzer registered micron-sized dust particles enveloping this satellite. The dust impact rate peaked about 1 minute before the closest approach of the spacecraft to the moon. This asymmetric signature is consistent with a locally enhanced dust production in the south polar region of Enceladus. Other Cassini experiments revealed evidence for geophysical activities near Enceladus' south pole: a high surface temperature and a release of water gas. Production or release of dust particles related to these processes may provide the dominant source of Saturn's E ring.

The Cassini spacecraft completed three close flybys of Saturn's enigmatic moon Enceladus between February and July 2005. On the third and closest flyby, on 14 July 2005, multiple Cassini instruments detected evidence for ongoing endogenic activity in a region centered on Enceladus' south pole. The polar region is the source of a plume of gas and dust, which probably emanates from prominent warm troughs seen on the surface. Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) detected 3 to 7 gigawatts of thermal emission from the south polar troughs at temperatures up to 145 kelvin or higher, making Enceladus only the third known solid planetary body: after Earth and Io: that is sufficiently geologically active for its internal heat to be detected by remote sensing. If the plume is generated by the sublimation of water ice and if the sublimation source is visible to CIRS, then sublimation temperatures of at least 180 kelvin are required.

The Cassini spacecraft passed within 168.2 kilometers of the surface above the southern hemisphere at 19:55:22 universal time coordinated on 14 July 2005 during its closest approach to Enceladus. Before and after this time, a substantial atmospheric plume and coma were observed, detectable in the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) data set out to a distance of over 4000 kilometers from Enceladus. INMS data indicate that the atmospheric plume and coma are dominated by water, with significant amounts of carbon dioxide, an unidentified species with a mass-to-charge ratio of 28 daltons (either carbon monoxide or molecular nitrogen), and methane. Trace quantities (<1%) of acetylene and propane also appear to be present. Ammonia is present at a level that does not exceed 0.5%. The radial and angular distributions of the gas density near the closest approach, as well as other independent evidence, suggest a significant contribution to the plume from a source centered near the south polar cap, as distinct from a separately measured more uniform and possibly global source observed on the outbound leg of the flyby.

Cassini has identified a geologically active province at the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. In images acquired by the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), this region is circumscribed by a chain of folded ridges and troughs at 655'S latitude. The terrain southward of this boundary is distinguished by its albedo and color contrasts, elevated temperatures, extreme geologic youth, and narrow tectonic rifts that exhibit coarse-grained ice and coincide with the hottest temperatures measured in the region. Jets of fine icy particles that supply Saturn's E ring emanate from this province, carried aloft by water vapor probably venting from subsurface reservoirs of liquid water. The shape of Enceladus suggests a possible intense heating epoch in the past by capture into a 1:4 secondary spin/orbit resonance.

Observations of Saturn's satellite Enceladus using Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer instrument were obtained during three flybys of Enceladus in 2005. Enceladus' surface is composed mostly of nearly pure water ice except near its south pole, where there are light organics, CO2, and amorphous and crystalline water ice, particularly in the region dubbed the "tiger stripes." An upper limit of 5 precipitable nanometers is derived for CO in the atmospheric column above Enceladus, and 2% for NH3 in global surface deposits. Upper limits of 140 kelvin (for a filled pixel) are derived for the temperatures in the tiger stripes.

Enceladus is a small icy satellite of Saturn. Its south polar region consists of young, tectonically deformed terrain and has an anomalously high heat flux. This heat flux is probably due to localized tidal dissipation within either the ice shell or the underlying silicate core. The surface deformation is plausibly due to upwelling of low-density material (diapirism) as a result of this tidal heating. Here we show that the current polar location of the hotspot can be explained by reorientation of the satellite's rotation axis because of the presence of a low-density diapir. If the diapir is in the ice shell, then the shell must be relatively thick and maintain significant rigidity (elastic thickness greater than 60.5 km); if the diapir is in the silicate core, then Enceladus cannot possess a global subsurface ocean, because the core must be coupled to the overlying ice for reorientation to occur. The reorientation generates large (610 MPa) tectonic stress patterns that are compatible with the observed deformation of the south polar region. We predict that the distribution of impact craters on the surface will not show the usual leading hemisphere- trailing hemisphere asymmetry. A low-density diapir also yields a potentially observable negative gravity anomaly.

Instruments on the Cassini spacecraft reveal that a heat source within Saturn's moon Enceladus powers a great plume of water ice particles and dust grains, a geyser that jets outward from the south polar regions and most likely serves as the dominant source of Saturn's E ring. The interaction of flowing magnetospheric plasma with the plume modifies the particle and field environment of Enceladus. The structure of Saturn's magnetosphere, the extended region of space threaded by magnetic-field lines linked to the planet, is shaped by the ion source at Enceladus, and magnetospheric dynamics may be affected by the rate at which fresh ions are created.

The bombardment of Saturn's moon Enceladus by >20-kiloelectron volt magnetospheric particles causes particle flux depletions in regions magnetically connected to its orbit. Irrespective of magnetospheric activity, proton depletions are persistent, whereas electron depletions are quickly erased by magnetospheric processes. Observations of these signatures by Cassini's Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument allow remote monitoring of Enceladus' gas and dust environments. This reveals substantial outgassing variability at the moon and suggests increased dust concentrations at its Lagrange points. The characteristics of the particle depletions additionally provide key radial diffusion coefficients for energetic electrons and an independent measure of the inner magnetosphere's rotation velocity.

The Cassini spacecraft flew close to Saturn's small moon Enceladus three times in 2005. Cassini's UltraViolet Imaging Spectrograph observed stellar occultations on two flybys and confirmed the existence, composition, and regionally confined nature of a water vapor plume in the south polar region of Enceladus. This plume provides an adequate amount of water to resupply losses from Saturn's E ring and to be the dominant source of the neutral OH and atomic oxygen that fill the Saturnian system.

The exploration of Saturn by the Cassini/Huygens mission has yielded a rich collection of data about the planet and its rings and moons, in particular its small satellite Enceladus and giant satellite Titan. Once believed too small to be active, Enceladus has been found to be one of the most geologically dynamic objects in the solar system. Among the surprises are a watery, gaseous plume; a south polar hot spot; and a surface marked by deep canyons and thick flows.

The Cassini magnetometer has detected the interaction of the magnetospheric plasma of Saturn with an atmospheric plume at the icy moon Enceladus. This unanticipated finding, made on a distant flyby, was subsequently confirmed during two follow-on flybys, one very close to Enceladus. The magnetometer data are consistent with local outgassing activity via a plume from the surface of the moon near its south pole, as confirmed by other Cassini instruments.

During the 14 July 2005 encounter of Cassini with Enceladus, the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer measured strong deflections in the corotating ion flow, commencing at least 27 Enceladus radii (27 x 252.1 kilometers) from Enceladus. The Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument inferred little plasma density increase near Enceladus. These data are consistent with ion formation via charge exchange and pickup by Saturn's magnetic field. The charge exchange occurs between neutrals in the Enceladus atmosphere and corotating ions in Saturn's inner magnetosphere. Pickup ions are observed near Enceladus, and a total mass loading rate of about 100 kilograms per second (3 x 1027 H2O molecules per second) is inferred.

The first pass of the Cassini probe in the vicinity of Saturn, above the E- ring, demonstrated a plasma consisting of water group ions (H+, O+, OH+, H2O+) with a small N+ ion component (3%). Using a simple model for the transport of magnetospheric ions, we show that the N+ ions can be traced back to the Enceladus satellite. Such a result can be explained by the existence in this icy satellite, supposed to be still geologically active, of volatile components such as ammonia NH3, or by the previous implantation of N+ ions of external origin on its surface.

We present evidence of two icy satellite microsignatures in the Cassini LEMMS data. Just upstream of Enceladus, a deep and narrow decrease in the flux of several MeV electrons is consistent with a recent absorption by that moon. This microsignature is collocated with a deep depletion in the MeV proton flux. The proton feature is much wider than the satellite diameter, suggesting multiple interactions and/or losses to the E Ring and neutral gas. An observed increase in proton flux toward the planet suggests a possible inner magnetospheric source. A decrease in the low energy electron intensity downstream of Tethys is also consistent with a microsignature approximately the size of the satellite that has drifted slightly toward the planet near midnight. Modeling suggests that microsignatures near Tethys' orbit would persist for more than a complete rotation of Saturn and the radial diffusion coefficient is about 10-9 RS 2/s.

Spectral measurements from the ground in the time leading up to the Cassini mission at Saturn provide important context for the interpretation of the forthcoming spacecraft data. Whereas ground-based observations cannot begin to approach the spatial scales Cassini will achieve, they do possess the benefits of better spectral resolution, a broader possible time baseline, and unique veiewing geometries not obtained by spacecraft (i.e., opposition). In this spirit, we present recent NIR reflectance spectra of four icy satellites of Saturn measured with the SpeX instrument at the IRTF. These measurements cover the range 0.8 to 4.0 microns of both the leading and trailing sides of Tethys and the leading side of Rhea. The L-band region (2.8 to 4.0 microns) offers new opportunities for searches of minor components on these objects. Additionally, these data include 0.8 to 2.5 micron spectra of both the leading and trailing sides of Mimas and of the (mostly) trailing side of Enceladus. The spectrum of Enceladus shows activity near 2.25 microns that we interpret as a possible signature of NH3 ice. The presence of ammonia in the Saturn system is not unexpected, and may help explain the apparent recent geologic activity of Enceladus. Analysis of leading/trailing differences in H2O band depths, spectral slopes, and albedo imply a separate regime of surface modification for Mimas and Enceladus than for the more distant icy satellites (Tethys, Dione, Rhea). Aside from the potential NH3 on Enceladus, no other minor constituents are detected in these icy surfaces.

The Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) has collected ultraviolet observations of many of Saturn's icy moons since Cassini's insertion into orbit around Saturn. We will report on results from Enceladus, Tethys and Dione, orbiting in the Saturn system at distances of 3.95, 4.88 and 6.26 Saturn radii, resp. Icy satellite science objectives of the UVIS include investigations of surface age and evolution, surface composition and chemistry, and tenuous exospheres. We address these objectives by producing albedo maps, and reflection and emission spectra, and observing stellar occultations. UVIS has four channels: EUV: Extreme Ultraviolet (55 nm to 110 nm), FUV: Far Ultraviolet (110 to 190 nm), HSP: High Speed Photometer, and HDAC: Hydrogen-Deuterium Absorption Cell. The EUV and FUV spectrographs image onto a 2-dimensional detector, with 64 spatial rows by 1024 spectral columns. To-date we have focused primarily on the far ultraviolet data acquired with the low resolution slit width (4.8 A spectral resolution).

Voyager images of the icy satellites of Saturn, Dione and Enceladus, suggest that they may have been geologically active and are not only composed of ice. Recent observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have shown the presence of ozone at both Dione and Rhea, which also implies the presence of molecular oxygen at these bodies. Observations of Ariel, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto indicate the presence of CO2, so its presence on the Saturnian satellites is also expected. The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) will provide the capability to determine the global composition of these bodies by measuring the pickup ions produced by the ionization of their sputter-produced atmospheres. We will present a model of these atmospheres and associated pickup ions and demonstrate CAPS ability to distinguish the freshly produced picked up ions from the ambient plasma. Such ions are expected to form a ring distribution that will have a uniquely different energy-angle dependence than the ambient plasma ions. In the case of Dione we expect the potential for a moderate strength interaction for which both Voyager 1 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft measured ion cyclotron waves centered on the Dione L shell and near the equatorial plane. SKR radio emissions also displayed emissions occurring at the orbital period of Dione which could indicate some intrinsic activity due to Dione. So again, something interesting may be going on at Dione. Since Enceladus, or material in orbit near Enceladus, may be the source of the E-ring, some surprises may be encountered during its close encounter with the Cassini spacecraft. In the case of Dione we will show that a wake pass at 500 km altitude is more than an order of magnitude better than an upstream pass at 500 km altitude. Pickup ion detection for minor ion species such as NH3(+) is possible for 500 km altitude wake pass but not for 500 km altitude upstream pass at closest approach. For navigation reasons a 100 km pass is not allowed. Therefore it is essential to have a wake pass to maximize the science return for a targeted flyby with Dione. The CAPS observations when combined with magnetometer, plasma wave and energetic particle observations will allow us to estimate the source of ions into Saturn's magnetosphere due to these two bodies and to characterize the nature of the interaction with Saturn's magnetosphere.

The innermost of Saturn's classical satellites, Mimas and Enceladus, have historically proven challenging observing targets for Earth-based telescopes due to their proximity to the bright planet and rings. Since the ring plane crossings in 1995 and 1996, in preparation for the upcoming Cassini mission in 2004, the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide-Field Planetary Camera (WFPC2) has been monitoring the Saturn system at each opposition as well as near quadrature each year. This observing program has provided numerous images of Saturn's classical satellites in each of the five WFPC2 wideband UVBRI filters (F336W, F439W, F555W, F675W, and F814W) and occasionally in the F255W, F785LP, and F1042M filters at solar phase angles between 0.26 deg and 6.4 deg.

The physical consequence of the collisional interaction of the Saturnian E-ring particles with the icy satellite Enceladus is examined. It is suggested that Enceladus should be surrounded by an extended halo of dust particles. In association with the generation of impact vapor clouds, an abundance of tiny smoke particles of 10-100 A diameter might be created and subsequently picked up by the corotating magnetosphere. The Saturnian system could therefore be immersed in a disc of fine dust particles. The E-ring particle impact process is also important in providing a mechanism for surface mass transport and removal at Enceladus. For example, because of impact, erosion craters of diameters less than 2 km could be significantly eroded in regions where the surface age is only 100 million years old. (Author)

The satellite Enceladus is obviously the main source of Saturn's E ring. Up to now, different mechanisms of how particles are delivered from this satellite have been suggested. In this paper, we try to answer the question of whether these different launch processes can be distinguished by the cosmic dust analyzer (CDA) aboard the Cassini spacecraft. To this aim, the dynamics of dust particles just launched from the surface of Enceladus is studied numerically. We have integrated the equations of motion for a wide range of initial conditions, including ejecta from interplanetary and E ring impactors onto Enceladus. According to our simulations, Cassini will encounter a significant dust stream about the time of closest approach to Enceladus. The duration and intensity of this expected enhanced impact rate onto the CDA depend on the way the particles are ejected from the satellite. The counting rate yields information about the distribution of ejecta sources on the surface of Enceladus. For instance, an anisotropy of the ejecta between the leading and the trailing hemispheres of Enceladus should be detectable, and impactors of different origin should be distinguishable. Furthermore, the vertical component of the ejecta velocities can explain the vertical extent of the E ring. (Author)

The morphology of volcanic features on Ganymede differs significantly from that on the terrestrial planets. Few if any major volcanic landforms, such as thick flows or shield volcanoes, have been identified to date. Using new stereo Voyager images, we have searched Ganymede for relief-generating volcanic constructs. We observed seven major types of volcanic structures, including several not previously recognized. The oldest are broad flat-topped domes partially filling many older craters in dark terrain. Similar domes occur on Enceladus. Together with smooth dark deposits, these domes indicate that the volcanic history of the dark terrain is complex. Bright terrain covers vast areas; smooth bright materials embay and flood older terrains, and may have been emplaced as low-viscosity fluids. Associated with smooth bright material are a number of scalloped-shaped, semienclosed scarps that cut into preexisting terrain. In planform, these structures resemble terrestrial calderas. The youngest volcanic materials identified are a series of small flows that may have flooded the floor of the multiring impact structure Gilgamesh, forming a broad dome. The identification of volcanic constructs up to 1 km thick is the first evidence for extrusion of moderate-to-high viscosity material on Ganymede. (Author)

If the mass of a satellite is unknown, but the satellite is differentiated and has a deep mantle of known composition, shape measurements alone can facilitate the determination of its mass, mean density, and moment of inertia. Application of this method to Encedalus, assuming a deep mantle of water ice, yields a satellite mean density of 1.00 +/- 0.03 g/cu cm. (AIAA)

The motion of Enceladus and Dione, two of Saturn's satellites whose orbits are in resonance, is studied using the SOS method. The phase curves in phase space are examined, and the consequences of the findings for the stability of celestial mechanical systems is discussed. In particular, it is shown that only the simplest systems can avoid chaos. An integration program for calculating the motion of Enceladus is presented. (C.D.)

Voyager 1 and 2 images are used to ascertain the photometric properties of Enceladus up to a 43-deg phase angle. The lack of correlation noted between spectrophotometric properties and terrain type indicates that optical characteristics result from a recently-deposited, ubiquitous surface layer that may have originated on the E-ring of Saturn. Enceladus' distinctive phase and photometric functions can be accounted for by the high degree of surface multiple scattering; observations to date indicate that the Enceladus regolith's textural characteristics are similar to those of other icy satellites of Saturn.

New results are shown for the possible long term evolution of the orbit of Enceladus perturbed by Dione in the 2:1 resonance in the planar elliptic restricted problem. The numerical integrations of the secular variation equations (Ferraz-Mello and Dvorak, 1986) yield different types of chaotic behavior. The onset of chaos for this dynamical system is also studied. Additionally, some illustrative pictures of the whole phase trajectory show the complex structure of phase space. (Author)

A new orbit for the pair of Saturn's satellites Enceladus and Dione, is constructed based on the intermediate solution obtained by Salgado and Sessin (1985). Secular terms are aggregated to the Hamiltonian when all first order perturbations are taken into account. Consequently, the periods of the new orbit generated by this Hamiltonian are better determined. (Author)

Voyager imaging observations of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn provide an excellent test for various photometric theories that were proposed to describe the scattering properties of planetary and satellite surfaces. Not only does the Voyager data set include observations of surfaces ranging widely in albedo, but it provides measurements (in both disc-integrated and disc-resolved forms) over a wide range of phase angles. A detailed comparison of the above models with Voyager data for Europa, Enceladus, Rhea, and Mimas was described. These satellites were selected because they cover a range of reflectances from 0.65 to 1.0 and because for them the Voyager photometric data sets are most complete.

Photographic imagery from Pioneer and Voyager flyby satellites has been used to study the microphysical properties of Saturn's outermost E-ring, and to determine the physical relationship between the E-ring and the satellite Enceladus. The optical and infrared characteristics of the E-ring are explained in terms of Mie scattering of ice spheres with an effective diameter of 2 to 2.25 microns and an effective variance of 0.1 to 1.5. It is suggested that the E-ring is continuously replenished by volcanic eruptions on Enceladus, and recent tectonic evidence is cited in support of this hypothesis. A number of similarities in the relationship between the E-ring and Enceladus and Io and its torus are discussed, within the framework of a general model of outer solar system volcanism and planetary ring interaction.

The absence of craters noted on Voyager 2 images of Encedalus indicates geologically recent resurfacing, probably due to internal melting; heating mechanism calculations, however, yield heating rates too small to cause melting. If Janus, whose orbital mean motion is currently decreasing as Janus' orbit evolves outward due to resonant torques from Saturn's rings, were ever to become locked into a stable 2:1 orbital commensurability with Encedalus, the resulting angular momentum transfer could have sufficiently enhanced the eccentricity of Encedalus' orbit for the ensuing tidal heating to have melted Encedalus' interior. However, the predicted rapid time scale for ring evolution due to resonant torques from Saturn's inner moons remains a major problem.

Voyager imaging observations provide new photometric data on Saturn's satellites at large phase angles (up to 133 deg in the case of Mimas) not observable from earth. Significant new results include the determination of phase integrals ranging from 0.7 in the case of Rhea to 0.9 for Enceladus. For Enceladus an average geometric albedo 1.04 and a Bond albedo of 0.9 are found. The data indicate an orbital lightcurve with an amplitude of 0.2 mag, the trailing side being the brighter. For Mimas, the lightcurve amplitude is probably less than 0.1 mag. The value of the geometric albedo of Mimas reported here, is definitely higher than the currently accepted value of about 0.5. For Dione, the Voyager data show a well-defined orbital lightcurve of amplitude about 0.6 mag, with the leading hemisphere brighter than the trailing one.

A bundle-type analytical triangulation program is employed to compute control networks for Mimas, whose network encircles the satellite with 110 points measured on 32 Voyager 1 pictures, and Enceladus, whose network does not completely encircle the satellite and contains 71 points measured on 22 Voyager 2 pictures. Many of the control points are identified on illustrations and by name, and their coordinates are presented in tabular form. The analytical triangulation program was used to solve for the mean radii and three principal axes of best-fit ellipsoids. The mean radius of Mimas is 197 + or - 3 km, while that of Enceladus is 251 + or - 5 km.

The surfaces of the Saturn satellites Tethys, Iapetus and Encedalus display surfaces which indicate active geological processes and therefore suggest a degree of internal evolution. By contrast, the Saturn satellite Hyperion and the coorbitals 1980S1 and 1980S3 show no trace of geological activity and may be fragments of once-larger bodies. Activity on Iapetus appears to have been confined to the dark terrain, and offers no clue as to its timing and extent. The widest terrain type and crater number variations are those of Encedalus, which indicate the most prolonged period of geological activity of any of the satellites studied.

Evidence is adduced for several episodes of geologic resurfacing and extensional tectonism spreading over much of the history of the small, icy Saturn moon Enceladus. Resurfacing was the product of fresh material eruptions that may have contained ammonia, which may also have made melting in the interior more likely. Tidal dissipation seems to be the only heating mechanism capable of melting Enceladus. For the thermal properties of pure H2O, the orbital eccentricity would have to be higher than the present value of 0.0044 by a factor of 5-7 in order to maintain a molten interior, and may have to be greater by a factor of 20 in order to cause melting in an initially frozen body. Removal of eccentricity forcing would result in rapid eccentricity damping, freezing, and the cessation of tectonic activity.

The E ring associated with the Kronian moon Enceladus has a lifetime of only a few thousand years against sputtering by slow corotating O ions. The existence of the ring implies the necessity for a continuous supply of matter. Possible particle source mechanisms on Enceladus include meteoroidal impact ejection and geysering. Estimates of ejection rates of particulate debris following small meteoroid impact are on the order of 3 x 10 to the -18th g/(sq cm sec), more than an order of magnitude too small to sustain the ring. A geyser source would need to generate a droplet supply at a rate of approximately 10 to the -16th g/(sq cm sec) in order to account for a stable ring. Enceladus and the ring particles also directly supply both plasma and vapor to space via sputtering. The absence of a 60 eV plasma at the Voyager 2 Enceladus L-shell crossing, such as might have been expected from sputtering, cannot be explained by absorption and moderation of plasma ions by ring particles, because the ring is too diffuse. Evidently, the effective sputtering yield in the vicinity of Enceladus is on the order of, or smaller than, 0.4, about an order of magnitude less than te calculated value. Small scale surface roughness may account for some of this discrepancy.

Tidal dissipation is investigated in a viscoelastic homogeneous sphere having the orbital and physical characteristics of the icy inner satellite of Saturn, Enceladus. The dissipated power is calculated for Kelvin-Voigt and Maxwell rheologies, whose dissipation function can be expressed in terms of viscosity. Expressions for the dissipated power as a function of viscosity is calculated in both cases and compared to the expression found for a lossy elastic body. A physical law relating viscosity of water ice to temperature and grain size is introduced and the feedback between dissipated power and temperature is investigated. It is found that tidal dissipation with current orbital eccentricity alone canot account for the surface activity observed on Enceladus, if it is composed of water ice.
Q. R. PASSEY and California Inst. of Tech., Pasadena.
Icarus. Vol. 53, pp. 105-120. Jan. 1983
Regions of the Enceladus surface are shown by high resolution Voyager II images to be highly cratered, as if by heavy bombardment, with crater forms similar to those of fresh lunar surfaces but often shallower in depth. The flattening of these craters and the bowing up of their floors indicate viscous relaxation of the topography. Viscosity at the top of the lithosphere is suggested by crater form analysis to lie between 10 to the 24th and 10 to the 25th P. The zones where flattened craters occur may be regions of past or present heat flow that is higher than in adjacent terrains. Encedalus probably has a mixture of ammonia ice and water ice in the lithosphere, while the lithospheres of Ganymede and Callisto are primarily composed of water ice

UBV measurements of Dione, Tethys, and Enceladus were made with an area-scanning photometer on several nights during the 1972/73 and 1973/74 apparitions of Saturn. The observed brightness variations have been separated into two components - one a function of orbital position, the other a function of solar phase angle. Dione and Tethys are brightest near greatest eastern elongation and faintest near greatest western elongation. The reverse is true of Enceladus. Opposition surges are observed for Dione and Tethys.

The orbits of the satellites of the outer planets are poorly known, due to lack of attention over the past half century. We have been developing a new theory of Saturn's satellites Enceladus and Dione which is literal (all constants of integration appear explicitly), canonically invariant (the Hori-Lie method is used), and which correctly handles the eccentricity-type resonance between the two satellites. The algebraic manipulations are being performed using the TRIGMAN formula manipulation language, and the programs have been developed so that with minor modifications they can be used on the Mimas-Tethys and Titan-Hyperion systems.
Astronomical Journal. Vol. 80, pp. 876-884. Oct. 1975
A new theory of the motion of Enceladus and Dione is under development. The theory is in literal form, with all constants and parameters appearing explicitly, and is being computed with the aid of the algebraic manipulation system TRIGMAN. The development of the disturbing function; the elimination of the short-period terms; and the resonant Hamiltonian and the constants of integration are discussed. An important feature is that the programs have been written in such a manner that, with only minor modification, they should be able to develop the theories of Mimas-Tethys and Titan-Hyperion as well.

A theory of Saturn's satellites Enceladus and Dione is discussed which is literal (all constants of integration appear explicitly), canonically invariant (the Hori-Lie method is used), and which correctly handles the eccentricity-type resonance between the two satellites. Algebraic manipulations are designed to be performed using the TRIGMAN formula manipulation language, and computer programs were developed so that, with minor modifications, they can be used on the Mimas-Tethys and Titan-Hyperion systems.
Astronomy and Astrophysics. Vol. 22, no. 2, pp. 179-186. Jan. 1973
The satellite pairs Mimas-Tethys and Enceladus-Dione are considered in order to determine certain characteristics affecting their dynamic study. A Hamiltonian formulation of the equations of motion of two interacting satellites within the gravitational potential of Saturn was desired. The von Zeipel-Hori method makes it possible to solve the equations of motion in a systematic way. By making use of the resolution technique used by Struve (1933), a complementary term is found which improves the comparison which he made between theory and observation.
Solar System Remote Sensing; Pittsburgh, PA; Sept. 20-21, 2002
The authors have produced mutually consistent solar phase and rotation curves for Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, and Rhea and report the first observation of the steep, narrow opposition effects of Mimas and Enceladus at visible wavelengths, necessitating an increase in currently accepted values of their geometric albedos. Among these satellites, only Rhea was known to have a strong opposition effect in the visible, and 1995 ring plane crossing observations revealed Enceladus' large opposition surge in the near-infrared. Combining these new observations with existing Voyager and telescopic data enables a more precise determination of the physical characteristics of regolith particles comprising the surfaces of these satellites. Application of the Hapke photometric equation to phase curves which include near opposition data yields information on the directional scattering behavior of surface particles, regolith compaction, and the degree to which coherent backscatter plays a role in the scattering of light from the particulate surface of an icy satellite. Comparisons between the derived photometric parameters for each satellite suggest the degree to which location - either interior (Mimas and Enceladus) or exterior (Tethys, Dione, and Rhea) to the densest point in the E-ring - affects the physical properties of regolith particles. Mimas and Enceladus have brighter trailing hemispheres, while Tethys, Dione, and Rhea display the opposite hemispherical albedo dichotomy. (Abstract only).

Pick of the Day: Reporting the details
Details, what wonderful, precise details in Laura Blumenfeld's masterful profile of Neel Kashkari, the former federal bailout chief, that appeared in The Post on Sunday.
Details: He walks on "pine-needled tracks of black bears." The stubble on his face is "six days old." He hasn't changed his sweater "in three or four days." And that's just in the first three graphs.
When he climbs a ladder, he's "10 rungs up." When he moves to Washington, he orders "five rush-altered Macy's suits." When he calls a colleague to offer him a job, he interrupts him playing golf "on the 12th hole." And so on.
That's great reporting, and so was this insightful quote about how nervous he was about running the Troubled Assets Relief Program (or TARP, as it's known), and the $700 billion that went with it: "We had to project confidence, hold up the world. We couldn't admit how scared we were, or how uncertain."
You think a guy who has testified before hostile congressmen is going to open up and say something like that to just anyone?

Rivers Mahjong, which is also known as Shisen Sho or Four Rivers Mahjong, is a solitaire game based on the classic Chinese mahjong game. With beautiful graphics and music full of Sinicism, this game brings you back to China and offers you many hours of relaxing fun.
As in ordinary mahjong solitaire, the challenge is to eliminate all the tiles from the board, but you need to clear one pair in a particular way. You remove similar tiles in pairs only if you can connect them by a maximum of three lines crossing no other tiles. While the game is full of challenges, it is very easy to play.
Rivers Mahjong will fill your every need, whether you want a real challenge, or just a quiet relaxing game of mahjong solitaire. It's never short of fun along the journey.
☆☆☆☆☆ Features ☆☆☆☆☆
✓ More fun than other ordinary mahjong solitaire games.
✓ 75 unique levels of addictive gameplay.
✓ Beautiful art and music full of Sinicism.
✓ Play freely in Relaxed Mode without a timer.

OK for anyone interested..We spent the day Sunday(July 27) in New Orleans in the French Quarter. I have no pre-Katrina reference, but it seemed busy. Walked down Bourbon street that night. Had my first craw fish, and probably my last..sorry not impressed!!
Boarded the boat Monday.We spent Tues at sea.Tues night there was a thunderstorm!! Very rough, woke me up! We got into Costa Maya Wed and took a two hour bus ride to the Kohunlich Mayan ruins. Cool site, not crowded, no souvenirs!
Thurs we were in Cozumel. We got a Taxi guy that took us all over the island, away from all the crowds.Saw cool Turtle tracks and some great rock formations...and a $Store!! Never fear, we did go back and do some shopping! Friday we hung out at sea and Sat am back to New Orleans. We went to the aquarium. Found a cool taxi guy in New Orleans, too. Really if anyone is going there I have his cell #. He shows up in about 5 min or less. He helped us retrieve Savannah's video camera that she left on the boat. Sat night we at at this very small quirky restaurant called Louisiana Bistro. Max the chef comes out to the table. Food is excellent Made some vegetarian something for Shawn. Don't know exactly what it was, but Shawn all but licked his plate. Sat night on Bourbon street war a lot different than The first Sunday night!I thought Dave was going to fight with a couple guys trying to hit on Savannah! Nice trip! All the luggage made it there and back! Here is a short version of my pictures. Thought they were in order, but not quite!! Hot and Muggy everywhere. The occasional Shower and the first two nights it stormed late at night (the first night it was a ways off, so not too rocky, but lots of lightning)

I loved looking at your pics Maria. It's nice to have faces to go with names...I can see why the guys were hitting on Savannah, poor Dave is going to be a very busy man keeping the boys off your doorstep! Shawn looks just like his mama too! Thanks for sharing them...got to admit though, one of the towel art pics really make you look twice LOL! Barb |
Great pics Maria. Glad you're home safe. What a fun trip and I know how difficult they can be with teens!! |

WOW! Looks like a great vacation!!! |
Maria - thanks for sharing you vacation photos. You've got a very nice looking family. I just love those flower-filled balconies in New Orleans. Your towel art pictures are hilarious. And those are a couple of great shots from your stateroom window! Thanks again! |
shrty, I loved your vacation pics! Looks like you had a wonderful time. I haven't been to Cozumel in years, and would love to go to New Orleans. I enjoyed the pics! Hazie |

I saw a necklace once that was kind of like the one shown but it was waaaay expensive so I did my own version. Good luck! :D
Create a "nest" out of some fairly flexible metal wire-- this can be very random just make sure that it is oval shaped and looks like you pressed your thumb into the front of it.
Next, put your chain through;
Find a length that is just right for you, cut your chain and loop it through the top of you "nest"
You can use a jump ring for this if you want, however it is not really necessary and looks better without it.
Now attach your jump rings and lobster clasp (I needed 2 jump rings to attach a clasp) to one end of you chain and the other jump ring to the opposite side.
Thirdly glue on your "eggs" (pearls) to the "nest" that you made using either a strong glue or a rubber cement in small amounts.
Leave to set over night and flaunt in the morning! ;p

KEEN Men's Voyageur Hiking Boots
light and comfortable
So far so good. Wore them about 3 times and really liking them. Comfortable for my flat fee and provide great support
December 17, 2014
Great shoe.
Sizing was perfect. Provides a firm stable base. Looking forward to a long life in these babies.
December 10, 2014
Great shoe
The Keen Voyageur shoe I purchased online is everything it was described to be. Very comfortable out of the box and warm. I wear these shoes everyday and work in the construction industry. Durable and great looking, this is one of my best purchases. This online experience was very pleasant.
December 8, 2014
Good all around shoe.
It's my every day shoe. I have trouble with heel pain these shoes help in that regard. This is my second pair.
December 7, 2014
Great shoe for hiking as well as just casual wear
This is my second pair of Voyagers. The first pair I just about walked the sole right off of them. I think they held up pretty well. I've had them for a couple years and have taken them lots of places. The new pair I ordered ran a little small.. So I just ordered the next size up and I'll walk around our carpet for a while and see which one feels best. All in all, a great shoe!
October 15, 2014
Love Them!
Most comfortable, durable shoes I have ever had. Better than my Merrill's which I loved. The advice to get a size bigger was great. I can't say enough about them.
June 28, 2014
Takes A Beating
This is the second pair of Keen hiking shoes I have purchased. I work as a security guard at a local school and am required to hike up into extremely rocky hills around our campus perimeter at least three times a week. The trip is approximately 2.5 miles long. Out of the box these shoes are comfortable and accommodate my wide foot quite nicely. The first pair lasted about a 18 months and I expect the second pair will fair just as well. The shoe grips the slippery sand and rocks superbly. A little pricey, but well worth the support my feet deserve!
May 30, 2014
Comfort right out of the box!!
I went on a hiking trip with my girlfriend that covered atleast 6 miles of various terrain in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. I bought these and never wore them prior to the trip. Excellent comfort, stability and traction right out of the box. I'm now 20 miles strong on these with very little wear and maximum comfort!
May 5, 2014
Keen hikers
Keen hikers fit great, have excellent lateral stability, and superb traction. Better than a lot of other brands at same price.
April 4, 2014
Would buy again
Have worn these for 2 months (Dec&Jan in N.Mississippi) so far very comfortable, Very little break-in needed. I wear a size 9 and this shoe in a 9 fit well. Would buy again

Did you know that the Frontier Medical Home (FMH) has opened its doors to Active Duty Family Members as well as Retirees and their Family Members? The FMH is a Community-Based Primary Care Clinic, part of the Armys initiative to improve primary care access and quality by locating clinics off-post in communities where Army Families reside. The clinic is an extension of primary care at Reynolds Army Community Hospital.
The clinic is located in a quiet and serene area of western Lawton and offers easy and quick access to healthcare. It is located across from Southwestern Medical Center, in the Great Plains Surgery Center building. All equipment and furnishings are brand new and state-of-the-art. The clinic also offers pharmacy, laboratory and behavioral health services. Most importantly, you will find a highly qualified and specialized staff that is eager to become your new healthcare team.
FMH is taking the lead in transitioning to the new Patient-Centered Medical Home model (PCMH). In this model, the Medical Home develops a comprehensive care plan as soon as the patient enrolls and then proactively engages the patient as a partner in their care. A team of health professionals, coordinated by a physician, works collaboratively to provide high levels of care, access and communication with its patients. At its heart, the PCMH is healthcare the way it should be - easily accessible, patient-centered, healthcare provider team-based, and quality-focused. Appointments can be made at www.tricareonline.com or by calling the Primary Care Call Center at 558-2000.
Active Duty Family Members and Retirees living in the Lawton area are welcome to enroll at the FMH either by calling 1-800-444-5445, going online to www.humana-military.com, click on Enrollment and Change PCM or come into the TRICARE Service Center located near the south entrance of the hospital for further assistance.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Brady!
Facts about Brady
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Brady's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Brady is 10 weeks old
WV Pet, Inc. pets are fully vetted if age appropriate & micro chipped. We also offer weekly training session free of charge for anyone who adopts a pet from us. And these sessions are ongoing to help our adoptive families and their new companion.
Other Pets at WV Pet, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brady, a Morgantown Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Morgantown, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Morgantown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Morgantown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Morgantown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Morgantown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Willard Public Library ~
Recognizing the need to preserve deteriorating photographs and stories representing the history of Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1998 Willard Library began this project to organize, scan, and make widely available images of our community's past. With the generous financial assistance of the Battle Creek Community Foundation and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the library was able to replicate over 17,000 photographs from 19th and 20th century Battle Creek for the use of researchers and community members. As another part of our effort to enhance our local history resources, the library has also completed an index of the 85 volume Ross Coller Collection of clippings and notes on the history of Battle Creek. That portion of our project was funded by the Miller Foundation.
This photographic web site is divided into three parts. The "Battle Creek Homes and Buildings, c. 1940" portion provides a catalog, street by street, of all of the buildings within the 1940 boundaries of Battle Creek. It is searchable by street name, and then by address on the street. The "Photographs from Battle Creek's History" section provides a searchable selection of 5,500 photographs selected from the files of Willard Library. It is searchable by keyword within the caption of the photograph, or browsable within the broad subject categories we have assigned to the photos. The "Dorothy Martich Black History Photo Archive" represents many years of research by local historians Dorothy and Michael Martich, whose work toward documenting the history of the Battle Creek African American community was painstakingly accomplished in the 1980's and 1990's.
In many cases, there is more information available about the photos on this site than you will see in the captions. If you wish more information about an image, please pay us a visit or contact us at the address at the bottom of this page. If you have more information to add about any of these images, please let us know that, too. We are particularly hopeful that you may be able to help us identify those Battle Creek photos that we mounted with headers like "unidentified" or "unknown." We mounted those photos knowing that they were local, but would very much appreciate further identification from you, our web site users.
It brings us special pleasure to bring to you the index of our "Coller Collection." Ross Coller worked for 47 years as a journalist in Battle Creek and spent much of his lifetime chronicling our area's past. After his death, his family donated his notes and work to the library. Generous funding from the Miller Foundation has allowed us to index the vast body of his work and bring that index to you online. It is available through the Willard Library catalog "Newspaper Index" feature.
Please call us or write us a note if you have any comments or questions about our Local History Collection.

[2039] Expression of ErbB2 and ErbB3 in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
M Teresa Salcedo, M Angeles Montero, Javier Hernandez-Losa, Cristina Teixido, Helena Allende, Enriqueta Felip, Nuria Murtra-Garrell, Esther Pallisa, Mercedes Canela, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Natalia Tallada. University Hospital Vall de Hebron, Barcelona, Spain
Background: In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),EGFR has been studied extensively, but less is known about the expression and role of other ErbB receptors. The aim of this study is to determine ErbB2 and ErbB3 expression in NSCLC.
Design: Expression of ErbB2 (Dako) and ErbB3 (Antibody supplied by A. Pandiella) was analyzed inmunohistochemically using tissue microarrays from tumor samples from 126 patients (median age 67 years,81% males,6% never smokers,p-stage 33% I/29% II/30% III/9% IV),diagnosed with NSCLC (51 adenocarcinoma (ADC)/47 squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC)/28 others), who underwent complete resection between October 2007 and September 2010. Cytoplasmic (cyt) and membranous (mb) staining expression was assessed by two observers as follows:0, no staining;1+,weak,incomplete mb staining;2+,weak to moderate,complete mb staining of at least 30% of tumor cells or strong,complete mb staining of 10-30% of tumor cells; and 3+,strong,complete mb staining of at least 30% of tumor cells. Score of 2+/3+ was regarded as positive.ErbB2 by FISH was analyzed in patients with positive ErbB2 expression.EGFR-mutation (mut) was determined in selected patients (23 cases). Statistical and survival study was performed.
Results: Positive mb ErbB2 expression was found in 5 cases (4%):3 ADC/2 SCC (all males,1 never smoker), all cases were erbB2 FISH negative. Positive ErbB3 mbs and cyt expression was found in 27% and 21% of all cases, respectively; 10.3% of cases expressed both. Positive ErbB3 expression was more frequent in females than in males (mb 46% vs 22%,p 0.038;cyt 33% vs 18%,p 0.099), in ADC than in SCC (mb 36% vs 21%, p 0.07; cyt 32% vs 13%, p 0.014). No correlation was found between ErbB3 expression and age and p-stage. Five of 23 patients had EGFR-mut (2 del exon 19,3 L858R exon 21): all females with ADC,4 never smokers. No EGFR-mut cases had concomitant positive ErbB2. Four out of 5 EGFR-mut patients had positive cyt ErbB3 expression (80%), 3 had mb expression (60%). Preliminary results (median follow-up, 17 months) showed no association between ErbB3 expression and disease-free or overall survival.
Conclusions: Positive ErbB2 expression is infrequent in NSCLC and no correlation is found with EGFR-mut cases. Positive ErbB3 expression occurs more frequently (25% of cases,females, ADC and EGFR-mut tumors). However, ErbB3 warrants further study in NSCLC to clarify its role and its potential use as a therapeutic target.

As the global leader in domain names, Verisign powers the invisible navigation that takes people to where they want to go on the Internet.
Verisign's infrastructure services help to ensure that your organization's websites are reliable and always available.
Verisign provides in-depth analysis, insight and response recommendations to help keep businesses and government organizations ahead of new and evolving cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
As the Internet continues to expand, Verisign is committed to creating and driving advancements that keep the Internet fast, safe, and reliable for all users.
Companies add .jobs to their domain name portfolios to efficiently communicate the online destination of an employment page to job seekers throughout the world.
Verisign provides registry services to Employ Media for the .jobs top-level domain (TLD), including registration, resolution, billing and first-level customer support.
For assistance or questions, please contact the Verisign Customer Affairs Office at +1-703-925-6999 or send an email.
Your business must be ICANN-accredited before you can become a registrar for the .jobs top level domains (TLDs). The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a not-for-profit, public-benefit corporation that coordinates the unique identifiers used for computers connected to the Internet across the world. Go to the ICANN website to start the ICANN accreditation process.
The .jobs TLD is managed by Employ Media. To become a .jobs registrar, you will need to execute a Registry-Registrar Agreement with Employ Media. Employ Media advises Verisign that you have executed the .jobs Registry-Registrar Agreement.
ICANN notifies all registry operators, including Verisign, when the accreditation process is complete. Next, ACP, a Verisign vendor, will contact you to request documents as proof of your business and your authority to represent and act on behalf of your company, an ICANN-accredited registrar.
After you establish an account, you may complete the next steps simultaneously: provide financial information and determine technical readiness. Use the tabs below to proceed.
To add .jobs to your account, return signed, original copies of all required documents to:
VeriSign, Inc.
Attention: Customer Affairs Office
12061 Bluemont Way, 1st Floor
Reston, VA 20190
Or fax to: +1-703-948-3977
NOTE: All documentation must be provided in English.
To obtain the Name Store Activation Agreement, contact your Verisign Account Manager or email the Verisign Customer Affairs Office.
To complete the Registrar Information Form (PDF), you will need the following technical information: Web server name, Whois server name, and no more than three subnets in Classless Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (CIDR) format, up to a total of 96 hosts (/26 = 64 hosts, /27 = 32 hosts, /28 = 16 hosts, /29 = 8 hosts, /30 = 4 hosts, /31 = 2 hosts, /32 = 1 host).
To establish an account with Verisign, email all required forms and supporting documentation to the Customer Affairs Office.
Existing .com, .net registrars have already established a financial account with Verisign and may use their existing payment security to support .jobs transactions. If you expect a considerable increase in your monthly transaction volume, you should re-evaluate the amount of your payment security and adjust it accordingly.
NOTE: You may start this process before you receive your user IDs and passwords.
Verisign requires registrars to establish a payment security to secure each month's registrations. To estimate your payment security, calculate:
.jobs registrations x duration (1 to 10 years) x $95 = Minimum Payment Security
Registrars are required to increase the payment security when registration levels repeatedly exceed the current payment security.
Note: A single financial account secures multiple TLDs so this needs to be taken into consideration when determining your payment security requirement.
Non-cash payment securities are held without action unless invoices are not paid in accordance with the terms of the Registry-Registrar Agreements. Acceptable payment security vehicles include:
Methods of Remitting Funds:
*Credit card payments are not an accepted form of payment.
If selecting the cash option to fulfill your Payment Security, please note the following information:
Remit payment to:
VeriSign, Inc.
PO Box #404326
College Park, GA 30349 USA
Send overnight packages to:
VeriSign, Inc.
Lockbox #404326
6000 Feldwood Road
College Park, GA 30349
Please contact the Customer Affairs Office if you select a non-cash method for satisfying your Payment Security obligation at email@example.com with the amount and exact date the funds were submitted.
Registrars must demonstrate full and correct operation of client systems within the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) environment before connecting to the Shared Registration System (SRS). You may begin development of your client applications before you receive your user IDs and passwords, but you will not be able to complete them until Verisign has established your account.
Verisign requires that each server that communicates with the SRS has a 40- or 128-bit SSL Certificate installed. Verisign allows SSL Certificates from thawte.
To develop the client end to the SRS, you must access EPP software. Verisign has developed EPP SDKs and guides to help you develop your client application.
If you choose to develop your own EPP implementation, it must be based on RFC-5730, the published protocol specification. You will need to acquire and incorporate an implementation of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol into their EPP software. You will also need to secure a license for the use of RSA cryptographic algorithms through RSA Data Security, Inc.
You will receive your user IDs and passwords to the OT&E environment when Verisign has established your account. Your informational packet will include testing information to complete this process. When you are ready to demonstrate technical operation and qualify for access to the production SRS, contact the Verisign Customer Affairs Office. For assistance with testing, contact Customer Support.
Once you become a certified registrar, Verisign offers value-add services and other TLD registry services to help you grow your domain name business. These services and TLDs are easy to add to your account and start using today.
To add any of these services, please contact Customer Support at +1-703-925-6999 or
send an email.

If you are a fan/liker of a brand on Facebook, you may well have come across a 'fangate' – basically a screen that makes you Like the page before you proceed or perhaps enter a competition. Real Life Connect have created a real-life fangate that can be used in retail stores etc to offer perks to customers who are already fans of the business on Facebook. This technology uses RFID technology, a tech that is on the rise in terms of adoption, but perhaps not at a high level of awareness among the general public. Watch the video below to see the Real Life Connect effort in action.
This type of approach may well be a route to unlocking more value from Facebook fans, but I'm not sure that it will be an easy sell to retailers. The retailer will need to put effort into making this valuable for both parties, just using it to give discounts is great for the consumer (although they are in the store anyway, unless the RFID approach has been part of driving them to the bricks and mortar in the first place), but will it create long-term value for the retailer?
What do you think?

It seems to be a pain in the butt to pull the skins off all these little suckers. Are canned cherry tomatoes worth the work? Would you separate them or mix cherry with sun sugars?
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Why not run them through a blender and can them as a sauce. That is what most cherry types turn into anyway when processed - mostly mush with some small chunks. On the other hand they freeze well whole in a ziplock bag and then you can just toss a handful into many dishes. Dave |

Use them as any other sauce tomato. Use them as tomato juice as I did a couple weeks ago. As Dave said, I used the older brother of the Blendtec and liquified the skin, core, and seeds. No need to food mill, pulp, or anything else. The final product was great. The first time I used cherry tomatoes 6 or so years ago folks said they would taste terrible in the final product and they would have no taste. They said the seeds would turn out bitter after sitting in the jars. There was no bitterness when jars were later consumed and the tomato juice tasted great. They were wrong! Jim in So Calif |
The problem with leaving peels on is that is where the bacteria is. Plus, the peels can roll off like bits of paper and not be appealing. I would juice them. |
They aren't "wrong" Jim. Just different taste buds. :) Dave |

(Editor's Note: The Grant County News publishes all items in police beat that are submitted from each individual police agency. The News does not omit names from police reports.)
Deputy Tony Stigers executed a warrant for Justin McNerney, 36, of Dry Ridge, for flagrant non-support, at 1:53 a.m. Dec. 7 on Spillman Drive. McNerney was lodged at the Grant County Detention Center.
Two men alleged to have killed 54-year-old Dry Ridge resident Randall Russ pleaded not guilty Dec. 5 in Fleming County Circuit Court. Charles Black, 50, of Hillsboro, and Kevin Howard, 38, of Owingsville, were indicted in November on charges of murder, theft by unlawful taking, first-degree robbery, kidnapping and tampering with physical evidence. Howard also is charged with being a persistent felony offender. The indictments stem from a body discovered Oct. 1 in Fleming County.
If you build it, they will come! That is the theory behind the Grant County Career Advancement Center on Taft Highway in Dry Ridge. The center, which offers GED classes and test preparation, as well as employment related services, childcare and transportation, recently celebrated its one year anniversary. THE GCCAC is a project made possible through a partnership between Gateway Community and Technical College, Grant County Adult Education, Kentucky Career Center and the United Way of Greater Cincinnati.
If you're going to attempt shoplifting, don't do it on the Saturday that Wal-Mart is filled with police officers. As police officers from the Grant County Sheriff's Office, Williamstown Police finished up shopping with 22 children in the annual Shop With A Cop program, the children got to see them in action when a suspected shoplifter was caught by Wal-Mart loss prevention and later arrested by Deputy Kevin Burke.
The Grant County Lady Braves jumped out to an early lead in their 2014-15 season opener against the Pendleton County Lady Wildcats and they never looked back.
Grant County won the game 72-63 at home on Dec. 5. Playing with a depleted bench, the remaining Lady Braves saw all nine available players score in the game. Freshman Shelby Harmeyer led all scorers with a career-high 28 points and also pulled down 10 rebounds for a double-double.
In case you haven't heard of Matt Harding let me tell you about him. A former video game designer, at age 23 he quit his job to travel around Southeast Asia until his money ran out. While he was in Hanoi taking photos, his travel buddy said, "Hey why don't you stand over there and do your stupid dance and I'll record it?" Harding did his stupid signature dance and thought the video was funny, so he started doing it and recording it everywhere he went on his trip and posted it on his blog for his friends to see.

Qantas Airways' low-cost subsidiary Jetstar announced today it will trial the iPad on board as in-flight entertainment on selected domestic services from later this month.
Pay A$10 ($8) to rent the iPad, and you get movies, music, e-books, all at your fingertips throughout the flight.
Jetstar's CEO Bruce Buchanan expects the device to have "strong appeal" among passengers, going by the demand for the gadget so far.
Jetstar passengers currently pay A$10 to rent a portable media playeron board with limited entertainment options on short-haul flights, orA$15 for a full selection of entertainment on long-haul services.
The airline is conducting the trial with BlueBox Avionics and Stellar Inflight. BlueBox is behind the first iPad in-flight entertainment system.
Depending on how the trial goes, Jetstar might roll out the iPad on all domestic and international services later this year, says Buchanan.

As most of you know, The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a huge celebration of many of the things we love. Every year it seems to get more and more of an essential date in the summer diary.
If you care even a little bit about the the style, mechanics, heritage, design - and general magnificence of cars, then you have to be there.
Thing is, there is so much to see, a single day is nowhere near enough.
We regularly rely on lensmen of repute to dish up the best stuff from the event every year.
And Scott Dennis's amazing motion blur of the obscure and beautiful 'Aero Alfa' (above) takes the proverbial biscuit.
This car has a really murky, complex history, much of which is documented very well here.
Suffice to say that this car was an Italian attempt to match the velocity and panache of the 'silver arrows' being produced by Mercedes and Auto Union during the thirties.
Its slippery design - straight out of the manifesto of Italian Futurism - is heartbreakingly pleasing to the eye.
Stay tuned for more of Scott Dennis's work in the forthcoming print mag - and go to Scott's blog for more high-end photography from Goodwood.
It's some of the best we've seen.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Christabelle!
Facts about Christabelle
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Silver & Tan (Yorkie Colors)
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Christabelle's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
Looking for a big dog in a little package then Christabelle is the one for you. She enjoys long walks or nice hikes and can keep up with the big boys. She doesn't waste time sniffing so be ready to move on your walks. Christabelle can be picky about her humans and can be a bit nervous in new situations but give her some love and time and she comes around. She has a beautiful grey fur coat with adorable tan coloring masking her face and on her legs. Her perfect home would be one of a person that is around most of the time. She loves car rides, so this along with the fact of her love of walks she would like a human that is active and willing to take her where ever possible. Our Christabelle also loves to play so someone that will spend time daily romping with her and playing with toys is a must. Our little grey beauty is looking for her family, could you be what she is looking for. To learn more - www.azrescue.org.
Christabelle weighed 11.7 pounds when we saved her from kill list.
Other Pets at RESCUE
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Christabelle, a Phoenix Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.
