The cover of your pressure cooker/canner is designed to seal tightly without the use of a rubbert gasket. The metal surfaces where the cover and cooker meet are beveled to produce the exclusive metal-to-metal seal. As a result, the cover will wobble slightly when placed on the bottom before the wing nuts are fully fastened. When the cover is properly sealed, there is a small gap between the cooker/canner and the cover. To secure the cover, gradually and evenly tighten two opposite wing nuts at the same time, maintaining the same size gap around the entire unit where the cover meets the bottom. Never tighten just one wing nut at a time. A new cooker will sometimes leak slightly around the metal-to-metal seal. This will do no harm, and should cease after being used a few times.

Built like a tank This thing is built extremely well. I have no doubt that it will last me many years. I've already used it to pressure can many things since fall such as carrots, elk meat, broth, etc. Worked perfectly in every situation. Make sure to maintain the seal with something such as olive oil per the instructions. I have not used it as a water bath canner yet, but it seems like it would work great for that also.

Water Bath and Pressure Can This is a wonderful canner! You can use it for 7 quart jars if pressure canning or 19 pint jars,10 on bottom, 9 on top. For water bath canner, you can also use up to 7 quart jars and 19 pint jars. This unit includes two racks for stacking the pint jars. The manual is very thorough. Do not forget to grease this canner with olive oil or vaseline since there is no gasket. It is wonderful to not have to replace a gasket ever. The manual recommends not using this canner on a smooth top stove. I have seen people do it without any issues, but the manufacturer recommends that you do not.

A must-have! As a first-time pressure canner, I researched a long time before investing in this product. Studied the reviews and how-to's and youtube videos in depth. This is such a quality product and was much easier to use than I originally thought it would be. Will be using it for years to come, but in my old age, might have to get someone to pull it out and put it on the stove when canning - it is very heavy. Was very important to me that it is made in the USA. Was worried that it might not fit on my stove because I have a microwave mounted over my stove. However, it fits on the front burners easily, and I still can lift the lid away from me when opening after the appropriate time has passed when canner is finished. Wish I could have purchased the 16 qt canner, but it was gone by the time I decided to purchase. However, the 21.5 qt is great because you can stack the pint jars and fit more into the canner at one time, getting more done at a time. Would definitely make this purchase again if I had it to do all over! Thanks, Overstock, for making this a reality for me!

I can't stop canning!!!! I have canned for a straight 2 weeks now. I may have to attend a meeting. We are enjoying the rewards of this wonderful canner. I have reduced sodium as it is not essential for preserving food in this type of situation. I have also caused it to turn BLACK! Yikes, I forgot to add the vinegar (my water is very hard). I found a cure online using Cream of Tartar. Perfect again. So use your vinegar people!

Good, but not over the top We ordered this on Friday and by Thursday the next week we had it in hand. Once we got it home we started checking it out. Noticed that around the rim of the pot there was a lot of mistooling that was done to cut it away from the slag. The we noticed a small indentation on the lid. Could not find anything about this in the manual and was hard to figure out if it was supposed to be there or not. We decided to send this one back. Returning it was straight forward and with the RMA number there was a prepaid shipping lable. They even went ahead and shipped the replacement before receiving the old one. After getting the new one in hand it became readily apparent what the marking in the top was. It was an arrow to line up the lid with the indentation on the bottom. So in the end it was bad pot out of the factory. All in all it's a great product they just need to do a better job of.

Questions & Answers
Thank you for your question, Ray. The All-American 921 21.5-quart Pressure Canner/ Cooker comes with an Instruction manual and recipes, a rack and a three-setting pressure regulator valve. Have a great day.
Does this canner take cans 185mm tall? They are a little over a quart. 1050ml
Hello mrt1980,Unfortunately, it can hold quart jars and pint jars only.Thanks for shopping with us!
I would say that it would have no problem with the 1050ml jars. It will take two layers of pint jars which is considerably taller than the jar you are using.
Does this PC come with an instruction book?
Yes, a very good instruction book ( in my opinion) with some recipes also. Just read it thoroughly you will learn a lot to feel confident...
Yes it does and the same instruction book can also be found as a PDF file if you want to get it before the canner.
is this safe for a glass top stove?
Hello kristinamanchester, Thank you for inquiring about the All-American 921 21.5-quart Pressure Canner/ Cooker. Yes it is safe to use on a glass top stove. Thank you for shopping with us.
It might be safe, but would be better on gas or conventional electric burner. This canner has to cook at very high temps for 2-3 hours.
How do you get 19 pints in this canner
Hello cynthiahprince, Yes, the canner holds 19 1-pint jars or seven 1-quart jars. Thank you for shopping with us.
The canner comes with a 'shelf' you put on top of the jars on the bottom then add jars on the shelf. I've done it many times, works great.
Wondering if this product will work on an induction burner system?
No it doesn't
Don't know what that is, maybe contact the manufacturer.
How do I get a directions booklet?
We'd be happy to set up a parts request for that if you contact us via live chat or at 1-800 The Big O (843-2446).

Shopping Guides
Best Pots and Pans
Choosing the perfect cookware is a matter of personal preference and cooking style, but understanding the differences can help every cook. Professional chefs agree that every household needs an 8- to 10-inch skillet, a 5- to 7-quart sauce pan and a stock pot. Choose pans that fit your needs, and you will love cooking with them.
Gemstone Treatment Guide
Most items that you come in contact with every day have been treated in some way: Clothes have been dyed, houses have been painted, and most wood has been pressure treated. Gemstones are not any different. When a gemstone is forming deep within the earth, natural heating and pressure occur. In order to bring more gemstones to the public, many companies continue that process with additional heating, pressure, or other treatment techniques. It is estimated that up to 80 percent of all gemstones have been treated in some way. The following codes and definitions are adapted from the American Gem Trade Association's Gemstone Enhancement Manual, Edition 6.1 June, 1997, which is the industry standard for disclosure to consumers.
Cookware Buying Guide
The right cookware can make working in the kitchen a real joy. It's all about the metal, because that is the vehicle that delivers heat to food. Before you shop for cookware, consider the different types of metals and their benefits.
How to Choose a Paint Sprayer
Consider that even the smallest handheld paint sprayers are capable of applying paint at five gallons per hour, and professional sprayers put paint on a wall at more than a gallon per minute. Whether you're painting acoustic ceilings, the outside of your house or finishing furniture and crafts, an air gun paint sprayer can be an efficient and versatile tool. Choose an air gun paint sprayer based on both your current and projected needs.

They say the kitchen is the heart of a home, but in many homes, it's also the biggest source of energy waste.

A Look Into Tomatoland
Categories: Ethical Eating
flckr/photo_de |
The worst thing about tomatoes may not be their mealiness... |
In this NPR interview with Terry Gross, Estabrook talks about the mindset behind mass-produced tomatoes. He says that, "As one large Florida farmer said, 'I don't get paid a single cent for flavor... He said, 'I get paid for weight. And I don't know of any supermarket shopper who tastes her tomatoes before she puts them in her shopping cart.'"
Estabrook talks about how though Florida and California use around the same amount of land for growing fresh tomatoes, Florida farmers use eight times the amount of pesticides and herbicides as their California counterparts. Florida, as Estabrook explains (and as we know!), is humid, has sandy soil, and has a climate perfect for breeding mold, fungus, and bacteria. It does not have the dry and sunny conditions that help tomato plants thrive.
Estabrook also explores shocking work conditions for tomato pickers. The book came out of an article he wrote in Gourmet investigating a case of slavery in Southwestern Florida.
Estabrook tells Gross: "It was shocking. I'm not talking about near slavery or slavery-like conditions. I am talking about abject slavery. These were people who were bought and sold. These were people who were shackled in chains at night. Or locked in the back of produce trucks with no sanitary facilities all night. These were people who were forced to work whether they wanted to or not -- and if they didn't, they were beaten severely."

Greetings, Refurbishing my 870 and would like to mount a set of Ghost Ring sights. Not sure how to afix them to the barrel and reciever. Soldering is a bit out of my capability, any ideas or suggestions. I also plan on refinishing with oven cure gun coat with moly. Should I mount them first or wait till the whole gun is coated then mount them? Thanks in advance.

Relax Texan. It's quite possible that someone who's done it just hasn't come across this thread yet. I installed Ghostrings on my Mossberg, so this thread just happened to catch my eye. Is your receiver tapped in any way?
Nice P51, Tex. If you have a new, Police model it should have a drilled and tapped receiver. But the front sight is another story. Do you have the ramped front sight, or a bead? Go to Brownells and check out their selection of ghost rings. Better yet, send the 870 away to Vang and have it done. Have the forcing cone removed at the same time. Thank me later.

I was told by a mechanic that my 2nd gearbox in the back drivers side is the cause of my car making a loud hammering sound. But this was after he told me it was a differential? He also mentioned something about pins going out? I'm the worse person to speak car terms with:-(I don't know if the three things work together or connected in any way but he came back with a quote thats more than my mortgage. The hammering sound comes on for about 5 seconds then it'll stop, all you hear after that is the sound of grinding brakes. He went on explaining that the pins where the brakes rotate were out...I couldn't make any sense of it. What could my problem be? Is it possible that it's just the rotors that I need to replace? Or it is something that I could maybe fix on my own? Is a differential tied to the gearbox and pins at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all your help.

The Killington Ski Resort area stretches out over 7 mountains with over 190 trails, 29 lifts, and the highest lift-served terrain in the state of Vermont. They get an average of 250 inches of natural snowfall every season and have an exceptionally diverse selection of runs ranging from wide-open groomed cruisers, narrow classic New England runs, moguls, steeps, and tree skiing areas. It's an East Coast skiing paradise!
Come experience the best of Killington by staying in this beautiful 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom townhouse. It's located in one of the only ski-in/ski-out developments in Killington, so there's no need to worry about catching the shuttle bus or dragging your equipment long distances to the slopes! The townhouse itself is gorgeous, luxurious, and private… You'll immediately become enamored with the cathedral ceiling in the living room with 8-foot high greenhouse-style glass skylights and the decadent floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace, firewood is included.! There is a new 60" HD Smart TV, upgraded bedding, and a new dining table – It's all ready for your visit! You'll find stunning interior décor throughout, modern kitchen cabinets, and cozy carpeting, so there's nothing rustic about this ski house! It even includes free WiFi! After a long day of skiing, warm up in the steam shower or jetted tub in the master bathroom, or relax in the in-unit sauna. This home is truly a prize!
From here you can be on the slopes in Killington in mere minutes thanks to this home's truly ideal location. This community has its own trail, Sun Dog which is right across the parking lot from this unit. It is serviced by its own lift, the Sunrise Triple chair. The Bear Mountain area of Killington is accessed from the top of the Sunrise Triple Chair. As an added bonus, you do not need a lift ticket to ride the Sunrise Triple Chair. Those less adventurous members of your party can ski the green Sun Dog trail all day for free. Because this particular unit sits on the higest point in Sunrise, you also have the option of walking approximately 3 minutes to a trail that drops directly into the Bear Mountain base area without having to take the chair lift. This is not an option for the vast majority of Sunirse units and makes this one truly special. Overall, this townhouse has one of the most perfect locations out of any other unit on the mountain… If that were not enough Sunrise has its own activities center with an indoor pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, a fitness center and a restaurant. You can visit http://sunrisevt.com to see more about Sunrise Mountain Village at Killington. Please be aware that this unit is not ski-in/ski-out until Killington opens the Bear Mountain area. This most often happens by the Chrismas Holiday week. During early and late season Sunrise is not ski-in/ski-out.
Key Residence Features:
Amenities include a 60" "Smart" HD TV, huge wood-burning fireplace, jetted tub, steam shower, sauna, big laundry room, full kitchen, free WiFi and more

Husband and wife picked up in Denham for murder
POSTED: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 3:39pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 7:00pm
DENHAM SPRINGS, L (NBC33) – A couple was arrested last night in Denham Springs on charges of First Degree Murder. Matthew Conway, 22, and his wife Ashley Lemoine Conway, 21, are accused of murdering Derek Desselle, 27 of Vick, La.
Desselle's body was found by local hunters on Monday, Jan. 17. The body was charred as it was set on fire with the day's trash in a ditch on Beaubouef Road in Avoyelle's Parish.
The Avoyelle's Parish Sheriff's Office conducted an investigation. An autopsy revealed that Desselle died of a gun shot wound to the head.
Leads brought the Sheriff's office to issue a warrant for the arrest of Matthew and Ashley Conway. The couple was taken into custody by the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. We're told they were located at a house in Denham Springs and that they were arrested without incident.
No motive has been given at this time. We'll have more on this story as it develops.

Welcome to Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review, a new ratings service that allows you to view and provide feedback on a lawyer or law firm on service and relationship qualities such as Communication Ability, Responsiveness, Quality of Service, and Value for Money.
Determining a Rating
The Client Review Rating is determined through aggregation of validated responses. This compilation of Client Reviews translates to a numerical rating and associate descriptive term on a scale of 1 -5. 1 being lowest as "Rated" and 5 being highest as "Preeminent".
Martindale-Hubbell uses a third-party resource to validate that the respondent is a living person, but cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship, which in many cases is confidential. Clients must affirm that they are a client of the lawyer or firm identified for review at the time of the completed Client Review.
The Reviewers
Those who complete Client Reviews are clients of law firms who hired a lawyer within the last year, whose matter is not pending, and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be of any type from in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners to private individuals, and even sometimes another lawyer in a different jurisdiction.
Client Reviews are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published; however a summary of basic demographics will be part of the display of responses.
Why do we collect demographics as part of the review?
Those who are researching a lawyer or law firm like to see that there are other clients who might be "like them". This is valuable information contributing to the decision-making process of hiring a lawyer.
Martindale-Hubbell's role
Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the process of Client Review by gathering responses, validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses are entirely from reviewers, the clients of the firm or lawyer.
It is important to note that Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Client Reviews for all firms and lawyers. Therefore, the fact that a firm or lawyer has not been reviewed should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review over which Martindale-Hubbell exercises no editorial review or control.
An explanation of the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings
A Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating reflects a combination of achieving a Very High General Ethical Standards rating and a Legal Ability numerical rating.
General Ethical Standards Rating
The General Ethical Standards rating denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.
Those lawyers who meet the "Very High" criteria of General Ethical Standards can proceed to the next step in the ratings process.
Legal Ability Ratings
For lawyers rated with the changed methodology, Legal Ability ratings will now indicate professional ability within a specific area of practice. Legal Ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas, rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest). These areas are: Legal Knowledge - Lawyer's familiarity with the laws governing his/her specific area of practice(s) Analytical Capabilities - Lawyer's creativity in analyzing legal issues and applying technical knowledge Judgment - Lawyer's demonstration of the salient factors that drive the outcome of a given case or issue. Communication Ability - Lawyer's capability to communicate persuasively and credibly Legal Experience - Lawyer's degree of experience in his/her specific area of practice(s)
Additional Feedback
The changed Peer Review Ratings allow reviewers to provide optional Additional Feedback on the lawyer under review. Additional Feedback is displayed anonymously in conjunction with the review results to the lawyer under review. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell reserves the right not to display any feedback.
Reviewer Demographics
Peer Review Ratings are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published, but in an effort to provide more details to the users of Peer Review Ratings, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell will aggregate reviewers' basic demographics, including general position and general geographic location, which may be published with the ratings display on martindale.com® and Lawyers.comsm. Examples of basic demographics are "private practice lawyer, senior partner, New York, USA."
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating
After a lawyer's General Ethical Standards and Legal Ability Ratings are confirmed, his/her ratings are aggregated to create an overall numeric rating for each rated Area of Practice. The numeric rating determines the Peer Review Rating, which includes a rating term and may include a Certification Mark:
AV® Preeminent™ (4.5 - 5.0) - An AV® certification mark is a significant rating accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
BV® Distinguished™ (3.0 - 4.4) - The BV® certification mark is an excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. A widely respected mark of achievement, it differentiates a lawyer from his or her competition.
Rated (1.0 - 2.9) - The Peer Review Rated designation demonstrates that the lawyer has met the very high criteria of General Ethical Standing.
For lawyers rated in the existing program, the display will appear differently than those reviewed in the changed methodology. Because the lawyers converted to the new display have yet to be re-reviewed in the changed system, there will not be the depth of detail available on their Legal Ability Rating, Area of Practice specificity, Additional Feedback or Reviewer's Demographic data.
The Reviewers and Anonymity
The reviewers are members of the Bar and Judiciary (lawyers and judges) across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations and are listed on martindale.com. They are from similar areas of practice and/or industry as the lawyer being rated, who know or have worked with the lawyer under review and are able to rate them on their professional ethical standards and legal ability. All Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings review materials are treated as anonymous. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell takes steps to protect your anonymity (e.g., not associating reviewer names with their responses and aggregating their responses with responses from other reviewers before sharing or publishing them). But it is possible that their responses may contain sufficient information to allow the rated lawyer to ascertain their identity.
Facilitating the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings Process
LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the peer review process by gathering responses, validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses are entirely from reviewers, the peers of the lawyer. Peer reviewers must affirm that they are a peer of the lawyer identified for review. A peer can submit only one review for a specific lawyer within a 12-month period.
A lawyer's rating will generally improve over time. But LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review ratings can be revised downward, or even removed if a decline is noted in ability or ethical standards. While LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell makes available the option of regular rating reviews for the lawyers, the most recent results are relied upon when determining the final rating.
It is important to note that because LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings for all lawyers, the fact that a lawyer is not rated should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review responses displayed in whole or in part by LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell may use your responses in whole or in part in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, but it is not required to do so. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell reserves the right, in its sole, unrestricted discretion, not to publish or otherwise use all or any portion of any responses or submissions it may receive.
No subscription or listing on martindale.com or lawyers.com is ever solicited or accepted on the promise of publication of a particular Peer Review Rating. No preferential consideration is ever given to any lawyer or law firm. There is never any payment made to lawyers and judges who participate in rating reviews. The process is a cooperative service with the Bar and the Judiciary.
It is LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell policy to conduct regular random periodic reviews of all Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings to insure their accuracy. Where supporting opinions dictate, appropriate action (such as deleting, raising or lowering a rating) is taken.
Disbarred or suspended lawyers automatically have their LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings removed as soon as notified by a state Bar. Other types of lawyer disciplinary actions administered by the appropriate Bar or judicial authorities may also be grounds to remove a rating. While Bar admitting authorities supply LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell with disciplinary information, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell also reserves the right to investigate information developed from the Bar or the judiciary regarding rated lawyers that have occurred that may impact the ethical standards of a rated lawyer.

A man looks over the Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) signup page on the HealthCare.gov website in New York in this October 2, 2013 photo illustration. U.S. health officials have investigated whether some of the software code underlying Obamacare's technology infrastructure was produced by people connected to the government of Belarus, but so far have found no evidence of that being the case. REUTERS/Mike Segar/Files (UNITED STATES - Tags: HEALTH SOCIETY POLITICS)
More than 200,000 immigrants who bought insurance through President Barack Obama's health care initiative could lose their coverage this month if they don't submit proof this week they are legally in the country, but language barriers and computer glitches are hindering efforts to alert them.
The government mailed letters in English and Spanish last month notifying about 300,000 people that if immigration and citizenship documents aren't submitted by Friday, their coverage under the Affordable Care Act will end Sept. 30.
However, few seem to be responding. U.S. Health and Human Services officials released information Tuesday showing that 239,000 of the original 300,000 were still receiving final notices.
Immigration advocates say the notices in only two languages don't take into account the wide variety of immigrant languages. They say many who received the letters already have filed the documents either by mail or via computer, but the paperwork was not processed. And they fear most who haven't responded don't understand the gravity of the situation or think they have already complied.
A line at the bottom of the letter advises the recipients to call a phone number if they need the notice translated, said Amy Jones of the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Associations Coalition Inc. in Philadelphia.
"People do not know what they say or that they're important. Many have been putting them aside or throwing them away," Jones said. Her agency, which has helped 450 immigrants sign up for health insurance under the new law, is calling enrollees to see if they received a letter and help them keep their coverage.

Diet Coke celebrates its 30th anniversary
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 12:14PM
Diet Coke celebrates its 30th anniversary in the UK and Europe this year and is to put the occasion at the heart of its marketing, in order to engage with its core female target audience in the aftermath of the Olympic Games.
Diet Coke was launched in 1982 in the US, and in the UK and Europe the following year.
In the US, the brand organised celebrations last year, including experiential activity involving guerrilla gangs of brand ambassadors throwing 30-second street parties for Diet Coke drinkers.
A similar level of activity is planned for the UK and Europe this year.
Here Marketing looks at some of Diet Coke's most memorable campaigns and iconic cans.

IMUA FAMILY SERVICES Reviews
Invite reviews
Invite friends and colleagues to share their experiences with this nonprofit
November 3, 2013
We searched high and low for services to support our child with a speech delay. It turns out the services provided by Imua are so superior, we had to look no further. We were ecstatic with our son's speech service provided and loved the community we were able to be a part of at weekly Parent Toddler Group. The staff at Imua quickly started to feel like part of our family. Our son made huge strides with Imua and eventually stopped needing services. Although we were thrilled for his successes, we dearly miss our Imua family.

My daughter Jewel was born premature is a surviving twin. We were not prepared for needing so much specialized help for her. Jewel has cerebral palsy and received early intervention from Imua Family Services, which consisted of O/T, P/T and SLP. On Maui there are not many options to obtain this high level of specialized services. Even after Jewel phased out of the early intervention program, she continued receiving SLP through the Fish fund at Imua. Jewel's cp effects her whole body, all her limbs and internal organs including her muscles. Through these early lessons, she is able to eat her own food and speak, though not as clear as you and I, yet. She is wheel chair bound and depends on 24/7 care. I have volunteered to fundraise for Camp Imua which Jewel attends, and has attended for the past five years. It is what she looks forward to all year long. Here at Camp Imua dreams come true, best friends are made and potential is nurtured and enhanced. Our sense of community has amplified since going to camp and being a part of the fundraising team. Imua Family Services is an integral part of our community, changing the trajectory of our children's lives and their world through Camp Imua. Thank you to all the Staff at Imua Family Services and all the volunteers that make Camp Imua continue to thrive. Respectfully, Ivana

Imua Family Services has been providing support services to Maui residents for the past 65 years; it is an amazing organization.
As parents of a child born prematurely, we were woefully unprepared and uncertain about our son's future. We had no experience and no idea of where to turn for help. In a very short time after his birth, we were contacted by the angels at Imua who were ready to become a part of our life and, more importantly, the life of our son Riley. They were there with welcoming and comforting arms assuring us that a bright future lay ahead.
We simply do not know what we would have done without the help of these angels.

Imua Family Services has many wonderful programs for children with special needs, but the one that has affected me the most is their summer camp for school-aged disabled children, call Camp Imua. It's a weeklong summer camp in june for 50+ kids with all kids of disabilities. I have been volunteering for 4 years now, and it is the best community driven volunteer opportunity out there. I'm 17 now, and have volunteered at Camp Imua since I was 14, and I have seen children's lives change because of Camp Imua! It is a wonderful program that has been going on for over 30 years, and it is FREE for disabled kids to attend!! There are all kinds of "normal" summer camp activities for these kids to get to participate in, including a swimming pool, arts and crafts, horse back riding and more!! So many opportunities that these special needs kids wouldn't have gotten the chance to participate in without Camp Imua.

Spectral broadening of continuous-wave monochromatic pump radiation caused by stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fiber
Optics Letters, Vol. 29, Issue 4, pp. 379-381 (2004)
Acrobat PDF (283 KB)
We experimentally show that, when stimulated Brillouin scattering is generated in optical fiber by use of monochromatic cw pump radiation, the transmitted pump radiation exhibits spectral broadening that is much narrower than the classical homogeneous gain-narrowed Brillouin bandwidth. The bandwidth is practically independent of the pump strength, fiber characteristics, and the waveguide-induced inhomogeneously broadened bandwidth of the Stokes emission. We show that these properties arise from strong parametric coupling of the Stokes and pump signals in the pump-depletion region.

text: CNN president to resign at year's endBy the CNN Wire StaffUpdated 1:00 PM ET, Fri July 27, 2012Jim Walton, president of CNN, says he will leave by year's end.Story highlightsCNN president will stay through end of yearWalton joined CNN in 1981He became president of CNN in 2003The long-time President of CNN Worldwide, Jim Walton, says he will leave the company at the end of the year.Walton, who joined the company as an entry-level video journalist in 1981, said the company needed "a new leader who brings a different perspective, different experiences and a new plan.""For some time, I've been talking with (Turner Chairman and CEO) Phil Kent about wanting to make a change, and he supports my decision," Walton wrote in a memo to employees.In a brief interview, Walton said that he timed his announcement to give Kent the opportunity to find a successor and "be open about it.""It's a well-run place now," Walton said. "We have also taken a lot of effort to make it a better place to work and in putting discipline in the organization. What it has allowed CNN to do is remain profitable when journalism is under seige and reinvest in its people and its resources and that's a good thing."During Walton's tenure, CNN has expanded worldwide, on television, digital and mobile platforms. "When Jim Walton assumed the presidency of CNN in 2003, it was under performing and earnings were in serious decline," Time Warner CEO and Chairman Jeff Bewkes said in a statement. "Since then, he and CNN have tripled earnings, doubled margins and delivered annual growth of 15 percent."Phil Kent, Turner's chairman and CEO, said Walton is "the leader we all aspire to be. Smart, steady, tough, and fair, business-savvy and respected by his team. His vision has modernized and globalized our legacy news brand, enhanced CNN's journalistic standing, positioned it at the forefront of multi-platform branded news content and challenged the organization to think bigger, reach further and do better. I am honored to work alongside him and proud to call him my friend."Bewkes also praised Walton's service."In his nearly 31 years of uninterrupted and distinguished service to CNN, Jim has been instrumental in growing the business into the financial powerhouse it has become, while establishing the brand as the worldwide leader for television news," Bewkes said. "I respect him personally and professionally and support the decision he and Phil Kent have reached."Walton's first job, as a video journalist, was to tear apart the five-part carbon scripts for the anchors, producer and director, then run the teleprompter. He went on to learn the craft of video editing, before becoming a producer, executive producer, and then moving into senior management. He declined to say which was the toughest job."I have been really lucky to have done so many different jobs at this organization," Walton said. "And each has been challenging and each has been rewarding in its own way. The important thing to note here is that I'm not leaving right now. We've got an election. We've got big news happening all throughout the world and we have got a lot to do."More from usWhat advice would you give to your teenage self?Boston Marathon trial opensTsarnaev trial: Timeline of the bombings, manhunt and aftermathPowered by Livefyre

OpenBSD: 'OpenSSH 2.3.1' vulnerability |
Posted by LinuxSecurity.com Team | ||
There is a vulnerability in OpenSSH-2.3.1, a development snapshot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenBSD Security Advisory February 8, 2001 Authentication By-Pass Vulnerability in OpenSSH-2.3.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYNOPSIS OpenSSH-2.3.1, a development snapshot, only checked if a public key for public key authentication was permitted. In the protocol 2 part of the server, the challenge-response step that ensures that the connecting client is in possession of the corresponding private key has been omitted. As a result, anyone who could obtain the public key listed in the users authorized_keys file could log in as that user without authentication. A fix for this problem was committed on Februrary 8th. The problem was introduced on January 18th. This is a three week time window. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFFECTED SYSTEMS This vulnerability affects only OpenSSH version 2.3.1 with support for protocol 2 enabled. The latest official release OpenSSH 2.3.0 is not affected by this problem. The latest snapshot version OpenSSH 2.3.2 is not affected either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESOLUTION If you installed the OpenSSH 2.3.1 development snapshot, install the latest snapshot. Currently, the latest snapshot is OpenSSH 2.3.2 which is available via http://www.openssh.com/. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AP) The governor of the Bank of England has criticized a New York state agency for accusing Standard Chartered bank of violating U.S. sanctions while investigations by other agencies continue.
New York State Department of Financial Services has accused the British bank of laundering $250 billion of Iranian oil money. The bank admits violations of no more than $14 million.
Responding to a question at a news conference on Wednesday, Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said he didn't believe that U.S. regulators were unfairly targeting British banks.
King added, however: "I think all that the U.K. authorities would ask is that various regulatory bodies that are investigating a particular case try to work together and refrain from making too many public statements until the investigation is completed."

There is a certain school of thought that recommends the use of a Significator card in aiding the Tarot reader during a Tarot reading. Of course, like all subjects that suggest one approach, there is usually a counter argument on why not to use it and the use of a Significator card in a Tarot reading is no different. There are reasons for using a Significator card and there are reasons against it. This post will explore the use of a Significator in a Tarot reading, and in particular the pros and cons.
At one time, using a Significator was considered an extremely important part of doing a Tarot reading. Most Tarot spreads as a result, were designed to integrate this technique into the spread itself – such as the Celtic Cross Spread.
What is a Significator
This is a Tarot card that is specifically selected before the Tarot reading begins; not after or during but before. Spend some time before the reading talking to the client and assessing their expectations on what a Tarot reading can provide, and what they want from the reading. If you choose to use a Significator, the information you will gather at this stage will become invaluable in helping both you and the client select the appropriate card.
The Significator is selected to represent either the client themselves, or the subject of the question. For example, a Court card is most commonly used to represent the Client whereas a Pip or Minor Arcana card is used to represent the subject of the question itself. For instance, if the nature of the question involves a family inheritance, then the 10 of Disks would be an appropriate choice; or if the question involves romance, then perhaps the 2 of Cups is best suited.
How to select a Significator to represent the client
- Involve the client in this process. I usually discuss the client's expectations before a Tarot reading. I use this conversation, amongst other methods to determine what Court card most accurately represents them.
- I show them two possible Court cards that I think most accurately represents them. I explain some of my reasons and usually they'll select the most appropriate of the two.
- I would avoid using both Astrological methods and the Physical description of the Court cards as part of the selection process. I find these methods to be useless. However, I mention them in case you connect strongly to using one of these two options.
There are no hard and fast rules for choosing an appropriate Significator. In many ways this comes down to pure intuition and experience. Don't worry if you're unsure what card to choose. It's a good sign that you're learning and building up experience.
How to select a Significator to represent the question
In many ways this is the easiest type of Significator to select. It does require a basic understanding of the 78 Tarot cards but essentially the Significator is selected based on the exact nature of the question. If it is financial, consider using a Disk card; if it's a relationship question, consider using a Cup card; if it is a medical or health related question, consider using a Sword card etc.
The card that is selected as the Significator is really not that important. It's not something to be too concerned with. It's actually much more important to the success of the reading to involve the client in this process. The involvement of the client is what makes the selection the right one, that and you're guidance based on intuition.
Three Reasons to use a Significator card in a Tarot reading
- A Significator card gives the client something to focus on whilst shuffling the cards. It prevents their mind from wondering and helps produce a trance like effect. It also allows transference between Tarot reader and client, producing the right atmosphere to fully engage in a Tarot reading.
- It helps to open up unconscious content within the client when the Tarot reading begins.
- It seems to help the client relate to the other cards better. I suspect this is due, in part, to the unconscious content held within the client, which provides this content a chance to voice itself. It also helps, on a visual level, for the client to see themselves as part of something much bigger than just their own desires, hopes and fears. They can begin to see themselves as part of a much more complex set of causal relations which, as mentioned in a previous post, can help them rediscover their humanity.
Six reasons not to use a Significator card
- By choosing to use a Significator card, you have removed what might have been a critical influence from the reading. In other words, if the subject of the question involved business, and in particular the negotiation of contracts, you might choose to use the Three of Wands. In this case, the Tarot might have wanted to use that particular card within the context of the spread itself to illustrate the negotiations, and in particular, how those negotiations will be effected by other causal events represented by the other cards. By removing the Three of Wands, the possibility for a complete reading has been compromised.
- It is not actually necessary to use a Tarot card as a Significator to produce the benefits I listed above. One method that I've read (I forget the authors name) is to actually ask the client to place a coin from their pocket onto the table so that they can focus on that whilst shuffling the cards. This method helps to create some of the benefits I mentioned above. In particular, the trance effect and the opening of unconscious content. This method therefore produces all the benefits of using a Significator without the compromise of removing a Tarot card from the deck.
- It is actually unnecessary to use a Significator of any kind during a reading because the dynamics and energy flow created in the act of reading actually produces a receptive atmosphere that assists in helping the client make choices. Although the atmosphere is not as strong, it is still strong enough to produce a good reading without having to resort to a Significator.
- Imagine a situation where you select a Court card to represent the client, and the reading itself concerns a relationship reading. For example, the Queen of Wands is selected but in the cards you have dealt, the Queen of Cups turns up. Does the Queen of Cups represent the client or a love rival? This kind of confusion can be avoided by not using a Significator at all.
- A person is continuously changing and so to represent them using one 'fixed' card can be limiting and inaccurate. For instance, in one area of the client's life, they may be a Student and thus a Page or Princess, and in another, they may be a parent and thus a King or a Queen. We each have different roles in life that can be represented by different Court cards. No one role should take priority over another if we want to achieve a balanced and objective reading.
- Symbolically, using a Significator acts to remove free-will. Let me explain: a Significator is meant to represent the client, their true essence. In other words, the Significator represents who the client really is, not dependent on circumstances or events, but who they are outside of those events. By placing the Significator next to the Tarot reading, you are symbolically removing them from their life. In other words, you are looking at what is going to happen to the client regardless of their choices; this can be seen as pure fortune telling, and limits the client's ability to take control of their lives.
I think the use of a Significator within a Tarot reading can be useful. The benefits for doing so are very positive. However, I do feel that in the majority of cases it is perhaps a little unnecessary. It's almost like going to a knife fight armed with a missile launcher. It's effective and gets the job done but was it really required to go to those extremes? I've done literally thousands of Tarot readings and I can honestly say I have only ever used this technique a few times. When I did, it surprised me how effective it actually was but those were special circumstances, requiring me to approach matters in a very specific way.
The use of a Significator depends on the question, not the person. The real key to a successful Tarot reading is to involve the client in the build up to the reading, the conversation before hand, the selection of the Significator, the forming of a question and the shuffling of the deck. All these little processes combine to produce a successful reading, not one technique on its own.
If you decide to use a Significator, I would suggest practicing this technique continuously for about a week, then switch and do readings without using a Significator. Oscillate between using this technique and not using it until you feel comfortable with the process. Try to understand, in an everyday context, what the benefits of it are, and also the drawbacks. Treat this almost like an experiment. I would suggest conducting this experiment over a four week period. This would allow enough time to assess the pros and cons of using this method yourself.
Let me know what your experiences are with using a Significator and if you feel it's a requirement for a successful reading?

Sanders and the Broncos were eliminated by the Colts in the AFC divisional round. Since that loss, the Broncos' coaching staff has been overhauled, with coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase heading to Chicago.
"Well, Gase is definitely in Chicago right now," Sanders said. "And Peyton says he's going to come back, but I'm not really worried about it, I really just want to win a Super Bowl. So that is all that is on my mind."
Gary Kubiak was hired to take Fox's place in Denver, and Sanders said that if Manning doesn't return, backup Brock Osweiler would fit "really well" in the team's new offensive scheme.
"Yeah, I think Brock is a quarterback that is on the rise, he's going to continuously get better and I feel like Kubiak's offense fits him really well," Sanders said.
Sanders signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Broncos last March. He earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl after totaling 101 catches for 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns -- all career highs.
Jones made his second Pro Bowl roster after totaling 104 catches for 1,593 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games in 2014. Sanders is now headed to his first Pro Bowl after totaling 101 catches for 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns -- all career highs.
Although he was targeted 15 times, Sanders and quarterback Peyton Manning just couldn't connect on deep targets down the field in Sunday's game. His first season as a Bronco ends with 108 catches for 1,450 yards and nine touchdowns.
As for Thomas, he finishes the year with 542 yards on 49 catches with 12 touchdowns in 14 games.
Sanders was the more successful of the bunch, finishing with six receptions for 73 yards. He finished second on the team with nine targets. Sanders enjoyed a breakout season during his first year in Denver. He set numerous career-highs, including yardage (1,404) and touchdowns (9).
Welker only had two receptions, but managed to pick up 42 yards. Welker took a bit of a step back his second season in Denver. He finished the year with 49 receptions for 464 yards and two scores.
