Can I use my pressure canner with the lid not sealed, or a SS stock pot? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sure - lots of discussions here about doing both or either. You will have to have a rack of some kind in the SS pot to keep the jars out of direct contact with the pot bottom and you have to have a deep enough canner to cover the jars with 1-2 inches of water. Dave |
Absolutely! All you need is a vessel deep enough to cover the jars in an inch or two of boiling water, with a rack on the bottom to elevate the jars, and a lid. Canning rings wired together make a good MacGyver rack. :-) I use a large stock pot, myself. |
I found that the rack from my 23 qt presto PC canner fits into my 20 qt Stock pot. It really works better then my old BWB canner. Donna |

I don't use my black beast anymore unless I have to. I can mostly in 1/2 pints and small batches, so heating that monster up was a waste of energy. I use a stockpot with a clad aluminum bottom. And a towel will suffice for the bottom of the pot to protect the jars. I'm naughty and often don't use anything in the pan bottom. Don't you try this at home folks! Horrible jar cracks might result. Round cake racks can also work on the bottom of smaller pots. Pot must be deep enough for 1 inch or more of boiling water to cover the jar tops. I used my pressure canner without the pressure for the short 1/2 pint salsa jars. I used an improvised lid to cover it while coming to a boil--a suitably sized frying pan. |
my presto 23 qt pressure canner (new yesterday) came with instructions on how to use it as a water bath, you remove the weights and the valve thingy I think! |

My BWB was rendered obsolete by my new glass cook top. I've been using a stock pot with the rigged jar rings. I put the rings together like a flower head and wire tied the rings to each other. I sometimes have a hard time getting the jars to sit up straight, but I can jiggle them around until they do. It's been working great so far. |
At Home depot, they sell 2'x4' pierced aluminum sheet material. You can cut this in to a round any size you need. Its got small triangular holes punched in it, and is thin enough to cut with a good pair of scissors, and will add some flatness to the bottom of of a pot. I use a piece on my wire rack as the wires are spaced a bit wide and smaller jars don't stand up well. |
marti, have you checked in your regular cookware to see if you have a pan/pot lid that will fit over the top? Not having to use the regular pressure cooker lid when using for BWB is nice - just lifting off and on one handed and with a heat proof handle/knob. I have a 'universal' lid that works on my 22 qt Mirro pressure canner when using for BWB, and a second lid to a 12" pan - that one fits but barely, have to carefully place it. The universal lid went next door last night so my neighbor could use it to BWB jelly this morning in her weighty older pressure canner with equally weighty lid :) |
Processing jelly in a pressure canner, is not necessary. |

I have seen racks like what is in water canners at Ace Hardwares, McLendon stores.... not sure if they would be at www.lehmans.com.. |
I've snaked twisted lengths of aluminum foil around jars in a stock pot. It works just fine to keep the jars from banging about. |
- Posted by swineinsanity 8 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 14, 09 at 22:46
I did something like that with the foil but put it under the jars to keep the jars off of the burner.... |
Canning rack link. They also offer a smaller size too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Canning rack link
I checked and the rack for my canner will also fit in the stock pot. I'll have to use it on a hot plate though since the stock pot won't work on my glass stove top. |
The common hot plates sold are barely able to get a big pot of water to boil. Unless yours is rated at 220 volts with a high wattage, it may not offer much. The link below has the highest wattage type you can buy that still plugs into thre regular AC outlet. Its rated at 1500 watts, whereas the common coil types are only about 1200 watts. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cadco burner
I also have a glass top stove. I use a stock pot that fits the dimensions of the manufacturer's specifications for base width. I used to use a cake rack for the bottom of the pot, but found a rack that fits perfectly at a thrift store. The thing that scares me about canning on a glass stove is if a jar slips and crashes onto the stovetop (breaking it, with a BWB on top!). I make sure that I add the jars and take them off from the side, and put my hand under the jar with a pot-holder, so just in case it slips from the jar lifter, I can make sure it does not break the stove. I also put a cutting board or towel on the small burner in front of the canner just in case... That (and the heat) is why I'm gonna be canning at church with a friend when I can swing it...the kitchen is literally bigger than an apartment I used to live in...3 stoves, 2 sinks, a ginormous island... plus I like the friend. :) |
I have a glass cooktop, and what's worse, the largest burner is only 8 inches in diameter -- too small for the large pots needed as a BWB. So several years ago, I bought an electric turkey fryer on sale at Costco. I set it up on my counter near the sink to BWB jams. To fill it, I use the sink's spray hose. When finished, I turn the spigot and the water drains into the sink. No more hauling heavy pots of water to and from the stove. It's also good for boiling large quantities of corn on the cob or pasta. I've yet to use it as a deep fryer. |

I switched over to a Back to Basics steam canner several years ago in place of a BWB for high acid foods. It heats up really quick with very little water. I too have a glass cooktop and don't have to worry with a second burner. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Steam Canner at Wally World
The steam canner is only useful for high acid foods like pickles and fruit jams. Its bottom is not flat, as its rippled and doesn't sit flat on a flat burner stove. Use with care! |

Basic element of Euclidean geometry. Euclid defined a line as an interval between two points and claimed it could be extended indefinitely in either direction. Such an extension in both directions is now thought of as a line, while Euclid's original definition is considered a line segment. A ray is part of a line extending indefinitely from a point on the line in only one direction. In a coordinate system on a plane, a line can be represented by the linear equation ax + by + c = 0. This is often written in the slope-intercept form as y = mx + b, in which m is the slope and b is the value where the line crosses the y-axis. Because geometrical objects whose edges are line segments are completely understood, mathematicians frequently try to reduce more complex structures into simpler ones made up of connected line segments.

Exactly what my son was looking for
My son wanted gloves to use for working out at the gym. He has been experiencing some wrist pain recently and wanted to try a glove that had some extra support for his wrist.
These gloves were perfect. They fit him perfectly, and by having the wristwrap, it provided exactly the extra support he was looking for, and he found them to be very comfortable as well.

Senior Spotlight for Jan. 27
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
January is over the hill, and we are going into February with the idea that spring is that much closer, right?
Well, anyway, to me February is a month of changes. We already are experiencing snow, rain, etc. Go ahead and put your snowboots on, but be sure you have an umbrella handy, too, and lots of Kleenexes, and look for the silver lining.
Something else to look out for, birthdays. I have my dear daughter, Jane Glanville, and Marie Switzer.
Get well/speedy recovery to Rose Gomez, Ben Gutierrez, Louise McKenna and Karen Prince.
The McDonald's senior breakfast is Wednesday. The noon potluck is Friday at Sunset Meadows I, 633 Ledford St. Bingo will follow.

Softcard (formerly Isis Mobile Wallet) is a joint venture between AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon in the mobile payment space, announced on November 16, 2010. The system is based on near-field communication (NFC) and allows users to pay by tapping their mobile device to a payment terminal. Notably, Sprint is not part of the consortium. The CEO of Softcard is Mike Abbott. The Softcard mobile system has partnered with the Discover network and Barclaycard US.
On April 4, 2011, Isis announced it would pilot the Softcard mobile commerce program in Salt Lake City in early to mid-2012. On July 19, 2011, a partnership was announced[1] between Isis, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
On August 29, 2011, the three wireless carriers announced plans to invest more than $100 million in the project.[2]
On July 7, 2014, CEO Michael Abbott announced that they would be renaming the company in order to avoid association with the identically named militant terrorist group.[3] The new name Softcard was announced on September 3, 2014, with newly branded apps to be rolled out in the subsequent weeks.
Softcard uses several underlying technologies:
Currently, the service competes with three other services:
- Google has a product called Google Wallet (previously known as Google Checkout) with which Softcard aims to compete directly.
- Paypal, who already runs one of the main payment methods across the internet, is competing for offline payments as well.
- Apple Pay by Apple is compatible with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and the Apple Watch (must be paired with a compatible iPhone). Apple Pay was released October 20, 2014 for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in the domestic U.S. Market.[6]

Healthcare is expensive because of high salaries of some workers. My cousin runs a nursing home. If you want to see a woman turn a scary color, ask her what she has to pay her RNs.
You should turn around and ask the RN what they have to pay for nursing school and then tell your cousin to kindly keep her shit together. Why would you want minimum wage people taking care of your grandparents anyways? It isn't exactly like staying in a nursing home is cheap. There is still tons of room for profit. If money was the ultimate goal, go into banking, not healthcare.
Re:Knowledge (1037 comments)
Why would an atheist reject a god nobody claimed ever existed? What is your definition of atheist? The proper definition of atheist: disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of a god or gods. Without somebody inventing and claiming a god exists, there would be no people to reject the unpostulated, unclaimed, concept. Your logic is severely broken or you are completely ignorant as to what atheism actually is.
Atheists simply reject theism. They don't have a faith. The rejection of a faith is not a faith. To claim that is ignorance. Off is not a tv channel. Bald is not a hair color. Unemployment is not a job. Not collecting stamps is not a hobby. Not playing tennis is not a sport. Abstinence is not a sexual activity. An empty bowl is not a meal. Silence is not a noise. Clear is not a color. An absolute vacuum is not a smell. Not kicking cats is not animal abuse. Not doing drugs is not an addiction. Not practicing a faith is not a faith. Make sense?
I even removed the sarcasm from the above statements to ensure you wouldn't be confused.
One more little fancy bit of information, if there was one shred of proof for any god, there wouldn't be atheists with any credibility. In all reality, I was going to say there wouldn't be atheists at all if there was any proof of a god, but we still have idiots that believe the world is flat. Even atheists aren't immune to 'teh dumb' sometimes.

Re:Gun research blocked by political pressure (1862 comments)
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/wh_now_is_the_time_full.pdf How about from the whitehouse itself, research on guns was never banned, just advocacy. BOOM. "... the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other scientific agencies have been barred by Congress from using funds to "advocate or promote gun control," and some members of Congress have claimed this prohibition also bans the CDC from conducting any research on the causes of gun violence. However, research on gun violence is not advocacy; it is critical public health research that gives all Americans information they need."
Re:Gun research blocked by political pressure (1862 comments)
The only thing 'blocked by the NRA' is a line item for budget from congress. This does not prevent or preclude any kind of research or overhead funding of such a research project by any agency. Please get your information straight. Federal agencies have huge budgets and are granted a certain level of autonomy. A project with less than a million worth of funding will never even cross the desk of someone in congress. It might even take a few million before it starts raising eyebrows. The other thing, if the project doesn't require much in the line of asset acquisition - just people, it can be done without ever being a line item in a budget anyways, the color of money is different. The NRA is not preventing any research from happening. Congress was urged to not line-item-fund the kind of research, and they agreed. You can't blame the lobbyists(not that I like the idea of lobbyists), they aren't the ones putting the the rules into action, that would be congress.
Re:Gun research blocked by political pressure (1862 comments)
So you are saying, with the only line from the link you posted that is actually relevant (the rest being a retarded emotional appeal, and in some cases totally off topic??), that congress is the only institution that can fund research like this? I find this hard to believe.
If this kind of data manipulation can be done to account for cause and cure with no control groups or understanding of which individuals have taken the medication, please, run the numbers as the data is already available. We have this wonderful invention called the internet where you can self publish your results.
Re:Gun research blocked by political pressure (1862 comments)
You can already pull crime statistics, nobody is stopping you from doing this - same as disease statistics. Violent crime rates have gone down, ALOT, over the past 30-40 years. With a height of 52 victims of violent crimes per 1000 people down to less than 17 victims of violent crime per 1000 people in 2009. We had less than 50 guns per 100 people in 1969, as of 2009, we are at a 1 for 1 ratio of guns to people. There went your epidemiology calculations.
You should be comparing guns and crime more to the effectiveness of a medication (the gun, in case you need a hint) on a disease (crime, you compared crime to a disease and say you can look at it as an epidemic, right?). The problem is the medication (the guns) being distributed randomly through out the population where some people have a lot of medication, some have zero medication. Now tell me the effect of this medication (guns) at curing a disease (crime) in the populace by looking ONLY at the people that are still infected (victimized). That sounds kind of dumb unless somebody was also keeping track of who used the medication (was armed) and who did not before they were infected (victimized). As far as I'm aware, we are not keeping any meaningful records on who had taken the medication (been armed) and still been infected (victimized) to even pull a small amount of data from the situation. Please, enlighten me how this all works out in your mind.
Legal gun ownership and crime[s committed by those owners] do not correlate on any meaningful level. I figured you were intelligent enough to read into the meaning, don't be ridiculous.
What is your defense now? Look somewhere else. Let me break this down easy for you. Guns don't commit crime, people commit crime. Guns can prevent crime or at least reduce the damage of a crime. This is why we call people with guns when we are in trouble.
Re:Stupid anecdotes are a waste of time (1862 comments)
Pull off the tin foil hat. Public data requests are public data requests. If you feel inclined to pull some data, pull some data, the NRA can't stop you. What kind of imaginary scenario do you live in where one organization (the NRA - who doesn't even control the data) can stop every public information request in every local government and municipality in the US? The problem is we are just not recording things that haven't actually happened (why would we???). We don't keep data on ALMOST raped or ALMOST mugged as no crime or event actually transgressed. There is no tinfoil hat chaffing organization stopping these studies from happening. The data simply doesn't exist and is not measurable by any government organization with current tactics (hint - we are reactionary). On a side note, I don't even carry a fire arm. I've only shot my own gun on one occasion at a range since buying it quite some time ago. It is a
Re:Gun research blocked by political pressure (1862 comments)
Until you begin to look at actual crimes prevented (and figure out how to do so), you are still skirting the issue. Your argument is invalid. How would someone even prove they were almost raped or almost assaulted? We have a huge burden held by government of proving an actual crime was commited, let alone worrying about proof of a crime almost commited. Diseases (counted by CDC/state/local health departments) and drug arrests (counted by FBI/state/local police) are recorded and measurable data points, almost being mugged/raped/assaulted (counted by NULL/NOBODY/NOTHING) never gets recorded. You are still failing to look at the actual problem. Just because crime is more or less prevalent in an area has nothing to do with crimes prevented by carrying a weapon for personal protection. Crime and legal gun ownership do not correlate on any meaningful level. Stop hiding behind your fear of guns.
Re:Stupid anecdotes are a waste of time (1862 comments)
This is an ignorant request. Nobody records "I avoided a rape by flashing my gun," "I shot a warning shot over the guy's head on my property to prevent him from coming closer", or even to the extreme, "the potential mugger saw my gun exposed in my holster and decided not to attack me for my wallet". There is no actual Data for this and no way to prove it. Maybe create a law that requires the reporting of all 'almost crimes' that happened? What kind of comical recording agency would take this information? Who is to say every gun nut out there doesn't consider themselves protected EVERY day just walking around with their gun on their hip.

Re:Three years between releases (5 comments)
I'll also add, most people don't buy computers that often (once every 4-5 years from some quick google searching). I don't know a single person besides myself and other administrative folks that have ever purchased an OS upgrade or purchased an OS outright with the purposes of replacing an existing OS. People use the OS that came on their computer when they bought it. A yearly cycle, even a three year cycle is just stupid fast for what consumers are doing.
Re:Three years between releases (5 comments)
Nobody cares about Microsoft's release schedules, and XP had 5 years of un-touched release time which you appear to have omitted. There are still millions of people happily chugging along with Windows XP. Just because Microsoft decides to speed up their release schedule does not actually mean it is a good thing or useful to anyone but their own corporate profits. What features in the newer versions of Windows is it that you just can't live without? The only interface of concern for every normal computer user (not the slashdot crowd or extreme gamer enthusiast) is their web browser. Nothing else. I will go ahead and restate it, Microsoft should just slow down their release schedule and invest a little more time in development.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co must face a lawsuit in which shareholders accused it of concealing risks that surfaced when it lost at least $6.2 billion in 2012 over trades made by Bruno Iksil, the so-called London Whale.
In a post earlier this year, I asked whether the "London Whale," Bruno Iksil, a London-based derivatives trader for JPMorgan Chase, who racked up billions of dollars in losses early last year, would end up swallowing Jamie Dimon, the chairman and chief executive of the bank, which is America's largest.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A lawyer for a former JPMorgan Chase & Co employee who worked with "the London Whale" Bruno Iksil has been trying to convince U.S. prosecutors to drop criminal charges against his client, Julien Grout, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.
London Whale trader Bruno Iksil dodged criminal charges by ratting out his two colleagues, as the JPMorgan trading debacle continues.

response curve at doses that approach relevance for human exposure. It then becomes a matter of conducting further research to understand the magnitude of response on a molecular or cellular end point that is needed to produce a structural defect with adverse physiological, structural, or functional developmental effects. A method has been proposed for constructing dose-response curves that combine data on frank malformations with data on less-severe effects that are not considered adverse. For example, Allen et al. (1996) combined data on rib malformations with those on rib variations in rats prenatally exposed to boric acid. This method could easily be adapted to include molecular events.
Although it can be postulated that many molecular and cellular events that are the precedents of abnormal development are unlikely to have strictly linear dose-response curves, there is minimal information on developmental specific processes. There have been extensive discussions on the shape of receptor-versus-nonreceptor-based responses that were initiated directly from recent advances in the understanding of molecular events; yet, little is known about actual events at low-dose exposures, as opposed to generation of hypothesized dose-response relationships at low doses. Hypothetical biologically based dose-response models have been proposed on a toxicant-specific basis (Shuey et al. 1995; Leroux et al. 1996). What appears to be most relevant for this report is a call for increased understanding of toxicant-induced molecular changes and an investigation of how these early events are linked to manifestations of adverse developmental outcomes. Empirical work will be needed to establish the magnitude of response at each level of organization required to provoke a response at the next level. Such investigations should be conducted to obtain quantitative information on the kinetics of the toxicant and the dynamics of the toxicological interaction in the temporal context of development (Faustman et al. 1999; Faustman et al. 2000).
Current practices in developmental toxicity risk assessment recognize the concept of "critical windows of sensitivity" in development, but a fundamental understanding of applying the molecular and developmental biological events that define those windows is lacking. This lack of understanding again results in the application of additional child-specific uncertainty factors in efforts to address the sensitivity of the developing conceptus rather than emphasizing the search for the biological understanding of critical windows of susceptibility.
A corollary to the problem of low-dose extrapolation is the assumption that effects observed at high-dose concentrations in experimental animals are relevant to the prediction of risk of adverse effects at ambient exposure concentrations. As discussed previously, testing of chemicals has the inherent dilemma of requiring exaggerated doses and concentrations to maximize the chances of detecting the potential for adverse effects and requiring understanding that the interpretability of the results might be limited because of the possibility that physiological processes in the pregnant animal have been so overwhelmed that the observed responses are qualitatively different from the responses at lower doses. The uneasy resolution of the dilemma has been to assume that the high dose and concen-

There is a ficus tree in my office that is suffering from significant leaf drop. We have had it for about a year, in the the same place, in an area with good light and no drafts. It has never been very stable, consistantly losing leaves, but also growing new ones, but it has never looked "full and healthy".
Just last week, most of the leaves turned yellow and fell off. There are only 2 major branches with leaves still growing. Also, some of the leaves look like they are wet, but there is actually a sticky substance on them. As I looked closer, I noticed that many of the branches have black bumps on them (both healthy and bare branches). These bumps come off easily, and look like vegetation- not bugs. The bumps and stickiness are not on another (healthy) ficus in our office. Could this be a disease? What can I do (if anything) to save it?

Maggie, I believe your Ficus has scale bug..The stickiness you're seeing/feeling is honeydew secreted by scale..the honeydew can attract ants. Would you say more than half your ficus have these bugs? BTW, make sure infested ficus isn't near non-infested tree..These insects will take charge of neighboring plant. There's several things you can do, but ridding scale is not an easy task.. ARe you able to take this plant home? Is there anywhere you can hose down? I find spraying with Fish Emulsion, (1 capful per 16oz mister bottle) and spray entire plant, in-between stems, leaves, etc. The problem w/FE, is even though they now sell an odorless type, is it still has a bit of a fishy smell.. There's also an oil called Neem..this is more common, but I've heard both good and bad regarding this product. You never mentioned the size of your tree, so I'm assuming hand-picking each bug, then swiping w/rubbing alcohol is asking too much, right? If it's a smaller tree, and you have time, this can be done, but again it's a big job. They also sell systemics, which is an insecticide added to soil, watered, insecticide is then taken up via roots.. www.homeharvest.com sells products..But to be honest, I've never used systemics, or any harsh chemicals on my plants. If your ficus wasn't in the best of heatlh to begin with, I'd bet it came w/scale..they probably weren't as bad/noticable, but existed. They might have even been in the crawler stage, which are tiny..before they turn into those bumps you're seeing. If your tree has more than 75% scale infestation, maybe it's best to dispose of the tree before bugs find homes on other plants. Sorry to sound hasty.. Before tossing, I'd work w/the tree..But that's me..don't know if u have time to play around w/plant since it's at work. BTW, can you please tell me where the tree was purchased? The reason I ask is I used to work at Home Depot in the gh..we'd get Ficus w/scale, then sold to the unsuspecing public..this would irk me to no end. I even complained to my manager, but he didn't care. Good luck w/your tree and please keep us posted..Toni |

Another of the Opera House in Valencia.
Originally shot in colour but I've got a bit of a thing for digital Lith at the moment and I felt that the graphic shapes of this image suited this style very well indeed.
I tweaked to contrast of this image a little to bring out more details in the deepest shadows before doing the Lith conversion. I do this with a pair of curves adjustment layers and a channel mixer layer to fine tune the contrast. Finally I add a little grain and use a blend if adjustment in the layer properties to ensure its blending is kept to the mid tones and shadows leaving the extreme highlights nearly grain free.

The Latin Vulgate (VUL) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 simile est enim regnum caelorum homini patri familias qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam | 1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. |
2 conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno misit eos in vineam suam | 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. |
3 et egressus circa horam tertiam vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos | 3 "About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. |
4 et illis dixit ite et vos in vineam et quod iustum fuerit dabo vobis | 4 He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' |
5 illi autem abierunt iterum autem exiit circa sextam et nonam horam et fecit similiter | 5 So they went. "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. |
6 circa undecimam vero exiit et invenit alios stantes et dicit illis quid hic statis tota die otiosi | 6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?' |
7 dicunt ei quia nemo nos conduxit dicit illis ite et vos in vineam | 7 " 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.' |
8 cum sero autem factum esset dicit dominus vineae procuratori suo voca operarios et redde illis mercedem incipiens a novissimis usque ad primos | 8 "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.' |
9 cum venissent ergo qui circa undecimam horam venerant acceperunt singulos denarios | 9 "The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. |
10 venientes autem et primi arbitrati sunt quod plus essent accepturi acceperunt autem et ipsi singulos denarios | 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. |
11 et accipientes murmurabant adversus patrem familias | 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. |
12 dicentes hii novissimi una hora fecerunt et pares illos nobis fecisti qui portavimus pondus diei et aestus | 12 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.' |
13 at ille respondens uni eorum dixit amice non facio tibi iniuriam nonne ex denario convenisti mecum | 13 "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? |
14 tolle quod tuum est et vade volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi | 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. |
15 aut non licet mihi quod volo facere an oculus tuus nequam est quia ego bonus sum | 15 Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?' |
16 sic erunt novissimi primi et primi novissimi multi sunt enim vocati pauci autem electi | 16 "So the last will be first, and the first will be last." |
17 et ascendens Iesus Hierosolymam adsumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto et ait illis | 17 Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, |
18 ecce ascendimus Hierosolymam et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum et scribis et condemnabunt eum morte | 18 "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death |
19 et tradent eum gentibus ad deludendum et flagellandum et crucifigendum et tertia die resurget | 19 and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!" |
20 tunc accessit ad eum mater filiorum Zebedaei cum filiis suis adorans et petens aliquid ab eo | 20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. |
21 qui dixit ei quid vis ait illi dic ut sedeant hii duo filii mei unus ad dexteram tuam et unus ad sinistram in regno tuo | 21 "What is it you want?" he asked. She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom." |
22 respondens autem Iesus dixit nescitis quid petatis potestis bibere calicem quem ego bibiturus sum dicunt ei possumus | 22 "You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" "We can," they answered. |
23 ait illis calicem quidem meum bibetis sedere autem ad dexteram meam et sinistram non est meum dare vobis sed quibus paratum est a Patre meo | 23 Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father." |
24 et audientes decem indignati sunt de duobus fratribus | 24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. |
25 Iesus autem vocavit eos ad se et ait scitis quia principes gentium dominantur eorum et qui maiores sunt potestatem exercent in eos | 25 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. |
26 non ita erit inter vos sed quicumque voluerit inter vos maior fieri sit vester minister | 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, |
27 et qui voluerit inter vos primus esse erit vester servus | 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- |
28 sicut Filius hominis non venit ministrari sed ministrare et dare animam suam redemptionem pro multis | 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." |
29 et egredientibus eis ab Hiericho secuta est eum turba multa | 29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. |
30 et ecce duo caeci sedentes secus viam audierunt quia Iesus transiret et clamaverunt dicentes Domine miserere nostri Fili David | 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" |
31 turba autem increpabat eos ut tacerent at illi magis clamabant dicentes Domine miserere nostri Fili David | 31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" |
32 et stetit Iesus et vocavit eos et ait quid vultis ut faciam vobis | 32 Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. |
33 dicunt illi Domine ut aperiantur oculi nostri | 33 "Lord," they answered, "we want our sight." |
34 misertus autem eorum Iesus tetigit oculos eorum et confestim viderunt et secuti sunt eum | 34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him. |

Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Practice notes: Osvaldo Alonso misses another session with leg injury NEW - 1/28, 05:23 PM
Sounders FC's preseason training camp roster increased by five after the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft and a related trade Tuesday.
With its four picks, Seattle drafted UC Santa Barbara defender Tim Pontius (33rd overall), English midfielder Jason Banton (34th), Washington forward Abdul Aman (53rd) and Cal Poly defender Wes Feighner (72nd).
The Sounders also acquired the rights to UCLA midfielder Andy Rose, who was drafted sixth overall Tuesday by Real Salt Lake, in exchange for the rights to defender Leone Cruz, who was selected by Seattle in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft but didn't make the team.
"All of these players are going to have to fight to make the roster," said technical director Chris Henderson in a news release. "We have a deep team."
Rose, 21, and Banton, 19, are from England and each participated in the MLS combine earlier this month in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The 6-foot-2 Rose could provide needed depth at center midfielder for the Sounders. He was a two-time all-conference first-team selection at UCLA, where he started 73 of his 81 games. Banton came up through youth systems of Arsenal, Blackburn and Liverpool, and is an attacking wide midfielder.
Pontius and Aman, each 22, were at the Sounders' invitational combine in Las Vegas last month. Pontius is the younger brother of star D.C. United forward/midfielder Chris Pontius, and projects as a central defender. Aman, a Seattle native, was at UW for just one season. He played in high school at Nathan Hale and Roosevelt, and also at Whatcom Community College, before joining the Huskies.
Feighner, 21, was a part of the U.S. under-17 national team in 2007.
In another local pick Tuesday, UW defender Jamie Finch, a Bothell native, was selected by the Columbus Crew with the 29th overall pick in the second round.
Sounders exploring PDL affiliation
The Sounders are in discussions to partner with a local amateur Premier Development League in the fourth-tier of American soccer. Seattle general manager Adrian Hanauer said that having an affiliated PDL team as an option for Sounders FC academy players would be "an ideal situation."
"There are still details to sort out, but I believe we're on the right track," Hanauer said in a statement.
• Erin Mayovsky, who joined Sounders FC broadcasts last year as a sideline reporter, will not be retained for the upcoming season. Due to a shift to a two-man broadcast booth, the team will not have a sideline reporter in 2012. The studio team during pregame and halftime, featuring analysts Alan Hinton and Peter Fewing, is expected to be the same.
• The installation of new FieldTurf at CenturyLink Field is scheduled to begin soon and is expected to be completed around Feb. 25. The Sounders play their first home game on March 7 in a CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal against Mexico's Santos Laguna and are trying to schedule a home friendly beforehand.
• Due to the threat of snow, the Sounders will move the start of training camp Thursday to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, which has an indoor facility. Practices this week were originally scheduled to take place at the Starfire Sports Campus in Tukwila.

I've always been fascinated by photography. I spent many years shooting 35mm film and was frequently frustrated having to wait to get the film developed and then finding out that the shots weren't what I was expecting. The almost instant feedback of digital photography has rekindled the thrill for me.
Thanks for browsing my gallery, I hope you enjoyed it. Feedback and constructive criticism greatly appreciated.
Have a great day, Rick.

One of my best friends is a financial crimes detective in my city, and yes, he seems to know his stuff.

I would contact my local police force and talk to the financial crimes desk. They may not be able to do anything at this point, but you should establish a paper trail ASAP, which would certainly work in your favor while explaining things to your bank or whatever if the bad guys do manage to hurt you in some manner.

Mayor Ray Nagin told a crowd gathered at City Hall for a Martin Luther King Day march that New Orleans will be "chocolate" again.
"We ask black people... It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans -- the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," Nagin said Monday. "This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans."
The city was more than 60% black before Hurricane Katrina displaced about three-quarters of its population, but spared several predominantly white neighborhoods.
The city wasn't always disproportionately black. It wasn't until the 1970s when many whites fled to Chalmette, coupled with government incentives to poor unwed black mothers which made it economically attractive for them to stay unmarried and continually pregnant, that the city's population began to darken.
Since Nagin claims that God wanted New Orleans to become a "chocolate town", does that mean by extension that God is in favor of white flight? What about the practice of having baby after baby while living off welfare, with no husband in sight? Does God also approve of that? My white bible says that immorality is a sin, and that if a man won't work, he shouldn't be allowed to eat, either. Presumably this last judgement extends to women as well.
What about slavery? Surely the ancestors of the black people in New Orleans didn't swim here from Africa --- does Nagin think that it was God's will that the black man be stolen from his home all those years ago, put on slave ships, and sold on the auction block right here in our unfair city?
I don't believe God intended for any of this to turn out the way it has. The tree has fallen, however, and if we sincerely trust the Lord, He'll help us to cope with where it happens to lie. However, doing so might require us to humble ourselves and act like we love our complimentary-skinned brothers once in a while (I think both bibles say something about this), instead of revealing the divisive, hateful contents of our heart at public rallies.
NOTE: Here's another link to the story.
I was born in Louisiana and lived here for most of my life. We cajuns have always lived with the nagging fear of death and destruction falling from the skies. We remember Betsy and Camille. We've also seen the loss of our barrier islands and marshes that served as a buffer against the storms and knew that something bad was going to happen sooner or later.
My family is from Houma and the surrounding communities, about 60 miles south of New Orleans. Parts of Houma are 12 feet above sea level, whereas New Orleans averages about 5 feet below sea level, so in my seven years of living in the Big City, my first choice of where to evacuate (I've done this three times now, go figure) was south to Houma, a direction that always puzzled quite a number of my friends.
When I finally went to bed that Saturday, I suspected that the storm would at least sideswipe New Orleans. If memory serves, the winds were up to 135 MPH, but when I woke up 4 hours later at 6:30 AM (thanks, Amber), they had increased by 30 MPH. I couldn't believe that the windspeed had increased so much in such a short time. The storm looked huge on TV, and its eye stared at me onimously. I knew right then that we had to leave Metairie. We lived right off Metaire Road in Old Metairie at about 8 feet elevation, but I had been listening to Bob Breck for 7 years rant and rave about the bowl filling up and drowning everything in the entire metro area, so sticking around was not really an option.
To tell the truth, I really didn't feel comfortable weathering the storm at my parents' house. I was sure the storm was going to hit Terrebonne Parish. Andrew back in the 90s did considerable damage to the parish, and my Mom said that when the hurricane passed by, they thought the roof was going to come off due to the high winds. Fortunately, their roof sustained only minor damage. I was afraid that Katrina would pass even closer to their house, and that perhaps even the eye wall would pass over the area. My heart was filled with fear about the winds, because of the fact that in the space of just a few hours, the winds increased by 30 MPH, and by late morning they were reaching 175 MPH. I feared that they were going to strike our parish at speeds approaching 200 MPH, which would totally destroy any house standing in its path, in my mind. After talking it over with my Mom, I reluctantly decided to head down to their house to ride out the storm.
I managed to get our two vehicles packed and on the road by 12:30PM Sunday. I took what I deemed essential --- my business records, a few data CDs, 3 laptops, my desktop and a new server I had just acquired, the technical books I had recently been studying, and a few changes of clothes. My wife also packed the things she thought were necessary into her car and we left the city.
Airline Highway was jammed with cars, so we took the overpass to Jefferson Highway, made it to the Huey P. Long Bridge, and headed westbound down US Highway 90. As I anticipated, there was a bit of traffic from Avondale to Boutte. Once we got past the I-310 interchange, traffic was flowing quite well, and I think I got up to 65 MPH for a mile or so. However, as we approached the Raceland exit, there was a line of cars stretching for about a mile, and we were completely stopped for probably 20 minutes. Finally we started moving, and I considered getting off at the Kraemer exit, which would have brought us to Highway 308, but I decided against it and immediately regretted it. I did get off at Raceland once we started to move again, and 308 was clear, as was old Highway 90 (I forget the new name for it). We didn't have any more trouble getting to Mom's house.
During the drive to Mom's, my wife and I communicated with a pair of walkie-talkies I had picked up at Home Depot a few months earlier. I hadn't ever used them until the hurricane, but they worked very well, to my surprise. Incidentally, the trip normally takes 1 hour, but with all the traffic we made it in about 2.5 hours.
My company provides occasional tech staffing for a smallish DSL provider less than 100 miles from New Orleans, and I was notified late Friday that as of October 1, they will be shutting off DSL service to their customers. I figured something like this would happen, since I started seeing commercials a week ago advertising DSL for $24.95 from BellSouth. My client (who asked me not to tell anyone about their decision until after they notified their customers, which is why I'm being evasive here) simply can't compete with $25 per month DSL.
In other words, Bell lowered their retail rates, but not the wholesale rates they quote to third-party vendors. The whole point of the AT&T breakup in 1984 was to stop Bell from using monopolistic practices against its competitors. I understand that the bottom dropped out of the long distance market a few years ago and they're looking for new revenue, and I'm also at least slightly sympathetic about their potential impending losses due to the the VoIP revolution, but I still say that this latest bit of deregulation was a bad move. With the stroke of a pen, the Federal Cracker Company has wiped out an entire industry.
Note to independent DSL providers: if you aren't partnered with an ILEC, you're toast.
Don't like my selections? Go get your own guns.
Seriously, I already have an old bolt-action
I'd like to step up a bit, and actually start practicing on a regular schedule. The air rifle can obviously be fired in stealth-mode and can replace the bolt-action for squirrels, and I always thought the Luger-style design looked cool, hence the MK6
We have a site with a photos folder that is around 30 GB in size. This folder is causing us trouble when trying to download as these files are enormous and we keep erroring out on download. We think it may be because of the naming convention
Here is what we need. We need YOU to troubleshoot as to why they are not downloading right,install a different type of FTP mod and try downloading again, or find some other method to back up this folder remotely that works and re-upload this folder to our new server. If you can successfully download this folder to say a backup drive that we can send you, that can work as well.
Can you do this?
I guess I'm not a very good blogger. I'll try to do better, I really will.
So what's been happening?
In other news, I'm picking up a little work here and there, so we've got a little money coming in. I'm really hoping to start getting some new clients who are interested in putting Linux in their server rooms (and on their desktops, hey...) here in New Orleans.
To all those who sent their good wishes regarding my wife's ordeal, I am very grateful for the kindness you've shown to us. Thanks. I pray that when you get into a jam, the Lord helps you, as He has helped us.
Crash and Burn
My main server had been giving me trouble, and I had been looking for parts to
put together a replacement (I can't afford new hardware at this point) for about
3 months. Last week I was given a motherboard and chip, and put them in a case I
already had along with some RAM, etc., and put up the new box. I had everything
copied over to the new box and had most of the services working correctly by
Friday evening, however, the building housing my server burned down, and all was lost, including my new server. Fortunately, I have the old box here at my house, and was able to secure another location having a fast enough connection to meet my needs, and I was able to commandeer their firewall box and press it into service as a host for all of my stuff on Monday. I've gotten most of the services working, but have been spending most of my time this week working with the business owner that lost all of his stuff in the fire, locating backups, purchasing a new server for his business, working with the telephone and data providers, etc. They are having to start their entire business over from scratch. At some point I'll have another box to put up at their new location. Possibly I will be able to fix the old box and reuse that one.
I've been trying to rustle up some business selling PCs. An interesting angle I've come up with is a site I've been working on for a while now, a church directory portal for the New Orleans metro area. It's a LAMP site that's pretty useful, in my opinion, if you happen to be a churchgoer in New Orleans. If the site gets any kind of traffic, hopefully I'll get some click-through business from it. If nothing else, it's an opportunity to improve my PHP skills.
Another thing I've been doing is studying like mad to take a couple of the CompTia certification tests. I've always downed certs, but I figured out that the stuff that's covered on the I-Net+ test is the same stuff that I've been doing for 4 years now as a linux sysadmin. For the price of a book, a couple of months' reading it to make sure I fill in any knowledge gaps, and $185 (gaa...) for the test, I too can have a piece of paper to wave around in front of interviewers. The Network+ exam is my next planned conquest, and hopefully I can knock both of them out by summer's end. LPI (now that is a worthy goal, IMHO) by the end of the year, anyone?
I'm sure someone is going to read my post and jump to the conclusion that I am a racist. Of course, that's ludicrous.
I hate my job.
Actually, I love my job. I'm a network admin for a large law firm. We unfortunately have to support windows/novell users, but we (me and the other admin, my boss) have serveral linux servers, and use linux/oss whenever possible. I maintain the linux stuff, and all of the windows boxen. The people I work with are great, it's a lot of fun, etc. It's just the management that I hate. That and the fact that I work for lawyers.
I also do a little linux/networking/internet/whatever consulting on the side.
Other than that, I'm a preacher of the gospel. I do missions work and evangelism. I used to have a radio program (that's programme for all of my british friends), and will start it back up once my cashflow gets better.
I like to fish, plus I hunt some. I'm a patriotic American. I'm married. I'm bored (which i why I'm writing in a blog).
I'm one of the leaders at my local linux users group. Irc? I'm mmlj4 on EFnet, freeload and rhizomatic.
I'm a cajun, unfortunately living in the cesspool known as New Orleans at the moment.
I'm a trumpet player, although about all I do now is keyboards, thanks to TMJ; I also sing, and write a little.
Ok, that's enough about me. What about you? Oh yeah, that's right, I dont have comments enabled.
Lucky me

Pediatrics: Acetaminophen vs. Ibuprofen
0Dec 13, '12 by dgirlemmyRecently, one of the instructors at my nursing school told us that recent research had suggested that the max dose of tylenol should be less than the now recommended 4000mg. She did not state her source, and i cannot find any research that supports this. But my main question is this: In pediatrics is it safer to give Motrin rather than Tylenol for fever because of the adverse effects on the liver, or are the adverse effects about the same? I would just like some clarification on this subject or a nudge in the right direction to research it myself.
Thanks in advance! -
0Dec 14, '12 by iluvivtTake a peek at this! http://mydoctor.kaiserpermanente.org...cm75-14511.pdf
Acetaminophen has always been know to cause liver damage in an over-dosage is given. There are been recent changes in the dosage recommendations for adults as an extra safety measure to prevent over-dosage that come from the manufacturer of Tylenol, In pediatrics it is weight based but regardless many still overdoses their child because of inadequate delivery systems , There have been changes made here as well. Check it out..it's about time. I never gave my daughter acetaminophen b/c my personal prefernce has always been to use motrin. -

neonates Dose: 10-15 mg/kg PO q6-8h prn; Max: 60 mg/kg/day from all sources

Children 1 to 12 y of age PO : 102.5�F and less, recommended dose 5 mg/kg; more than 102.5�F, recommended dose 10 mg/kg; max daily dose 40 mg/kg.
The danger with Tylenol is that many OTC child cold prep contain acetaminophen so it is easy to OD a child. -
1Dec 14, '12 by classicdame Guidewhen I was a pedi nurse we would alternate motrin and tylenol. Of course, things might have changed.Newgraduatenurse2012 likes this.
0Dec 14, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorThey still do recommend that for fever control and pain.
The OP question remains....is it recommended now to be lower.....I have not found that caution is used with both meds. Tylenol is metabolized by the liver....ibuprofen.... the kidneys. -
0Dec 14, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNI think the worry about ibuprofen "irritating the stomach" is waaaaay overblown. Certainly not a reason to withhold it unless you have already proof that THIS child doesn't tolerate it well.
0Dec 14, '12 by KelRN215, BSN, RNIbuprofen is metabolized by the kidneys, tylenol by the liver. Both are perfectly safe for children if they are given in the correct doses... for tylenol 10-15 mg/kg, for ibuprofen 5-10 mg/kg. For certain patients (febrile seizures), we would give both q 6hr and alternate to they were getting something q 3hr to prevent them from spiking. In oncology patients, ibuprofen was avoided and parents were taught to only use tylenol for fever (and to call regardless for a fever of 38.5 x 1 or 38 x2) and to always take temp first if giving tylenol for pain since it can mask a fever.

The Associated Press
WESTMINSTER — A North Walpole, N.H. woman was charged in a series of burglaries, and a warrant for another arrest has been requested by Vermont State Police.
Betty Bashaw, 47, allegedly helped Jacob Mcallister, 21, of Westminster break into Kenneth Beebe Plumbing and Heating in Westminster between Jan. 27 and Jan. 31.
Bashaw faces a single burglary charge for the break-ins, police said.
Trooper Brian Berry said the pair stole brass fittings, a copper rod and a yellow Fluke electrical tester.
Mcallister confessed to the three break-ins, but he has not been charged because he is being held for unrelated drug charges in Greenfield, Mass.
Berry said Mcallister and Bashaw stole the items to support their heroin addictions.
Bashaw and Mcallister will be arraigned at criminal court in Brattleboro on a later date.MORE IN This Just InDallas Taylor, a rock 'n' roll drummer who played behind David Crosby, Stephen Stills...

Marcus Williams leads Long Beach
Nine talented athletes top 100 in the SPARQ rating system in Long Beach
LONG BEACH, Calif. -- The Nike Football SPARQ Combine tour made its way west to the Golden State on Saturday afternoon. Nearly 1,300 prospects dotted the field at Long Beach Veterans Stadium for the eleventh combine on the 2012 campaign. A veteran of the combine circuit earned the event's top SPARQ rating after missing time as a junior.

Defensive back Marcus Williams out of Durango (Las Vegas) nabbed the day's highest overall rating with a 128.91. Williams is no stranger to competing at Nike combines after posting a 114.57 as a sophomore. Due to an issue in transferring schools, Williams only played in three games during his junior year, but his recruiting should begin to pick up after his strong combine performance. If Williams can put together a solid senior year, he could be deciding between several different hats come Signing Day.
Khalfani Muhammad of Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks, Calif.) is one of the top running backs in the region this year. Muhammad helped his own cause as one of the area's top talents with a 98.64 SPARQ rating on Saturday. The talented tailback recorded a 4.58 40 along with a 35.5-inch vertical. His ultra-fast shuttle time of 4.09 was also among the day's best. Last fall, he rushed for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns. Arkansas, Duke, UCLA, and Washington and others have already offered.
Bishop Alemany (Mission Hills, Calif.) wideout Steven Mitchell didn't need to test to gain the attention of college coaches, but the speedster impressed with a strong showing. Mitchell blazed a 4.63 40 to go with a quick 4.26 shuttle en route to a 94.62 SPARQ rating. The 5-foot-10.5, 177-pound flanker holds double-digit BCS offers and is taking his time with the recruiting process.
Top Class of 2013 Performer
Steven Mitchell, WR, Bishop Alemany (Mission Hills, Calif.)
Mitchell is a proven playmaker and has the skill set to be an early contributor as a freshman on the next level. The multi-purpose threat hauled in 50 receptions for over 1,000 yards and 17 scores in 2011. He was selected to the Cal-Hi Sports All-State team as a junior.
Class of 2013 Honorable Mention Performers
Dakota Cox, LB, Juan Diego (Draper, Utah)
Emerging as one of the top players from Utah for the Class of 2013, Cox checked in at 6-foot, 220-pounds and ran a 4.75 40 and 4.19 shuttle. He reports strong interest from Stanford, Utah, and Washington State.
Jack Ferguson, LB, San Luis Obispo (Calif.)
The 6-foot-1, 246-pound stout middle linebacker registered a 103.05 SPARQ rating behind a 4.45 shuttle and 42-foot power ball toss. This past fall, he tallied 152 tackles, including 12 tackles for loss, and six sacks.
Kevin Palma, LB, Mission Oak (Tulare, Calif.)
