Perennial Sale
Hi everyone,
Been a lurker on the gardenweb for a while now.
I've noticed no one has posted that Demoye's perennial sale is coming up. It is April 13th-15th. I'm certain they are in four packs and are $1.00.
I'll be there Friday at the crack of dawn!!
Hoping for good weather..
Thank you Lynnem for giving the address and the price. For $1.25 it's still a great deal. I've been goung for the past 5 years. I've gotten there at 8:30am and they've been open. I'm so grateful I don't work Fridays.
You all seem like a buch of very nice people.
Hope everyone can make it there.
Tee-hee! I may run into you, Diana! I love this sale -- right up there with their perennial clearance sale in the summer. Normally, Demonyes is too expensive for me, but I love the sale prices. The four-packs are like winter-sown seedlings -- small but mighty.
I happened to see an ad on TV for the sale this year, and heard the name pronounced for the first time. I've been saying "Dee-MOYNZ", like the city in Iowa but with an "s" on the end. Turns out it's "dee-MAHN-yeez" -- turns out I've been spelling it wrong all ths time!
Looking forward to the sale; Friday's payday. I'll try and leave some plants for the rest of you....

8 of 9 people found the following review helpful
Different, original and generally pretty good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clear (Audio CD)
If you've bought this album after hearing a sample of 'Bug Powder Dust' off the Dirt Chamber Sessions, as I did, then prepared to be suprised.
Rather than being a collection of raw, bass-heavy big-beat style tunes, 'Clear' is a somewhat weird collection of spaced-out dubby tracks featuring random people such as the rastsa poet Benjamin Zephaniah. Don't let all this put you off though as the tracks on 'Clear' are as original and well constructed as they are odd. If you are into the more obscure end of dance music then this is a must-have. Production quality is a little sub-standard and it may well take you more than one listen to get used to.
Enjoy, I do.3/5

I have been staying at this hotel every June for the past several years. I reviewed it in 2011. The hotel is still excellent with a beautiful, private beach right out the back door. Rooms are big and comfy and clean. Bathrooms are very nice.
The only thing that has changed is the restaurant. They no longer have a buffet breakfast; now, it is a bistro (Courtyards are changing to that). You can order food, and it has Starbucks coffee. I have had the food in other Courtyards and it's pretty decent - and not too expensive.
The ocean-front rooms are more expensive, but spring for one if you can - the view off the balcony is just amazing!! If you're on a budget, the non-view room are just as good - just without the view, they are still comfy and large.
Oh, and they also have free wi-fi now. It's excellent. In 2011, it was a hook-up.
It's all good!!!

Naga Jolokia+Bhut Jolokia?
The internet is full of great info, only how do you know what is true and what is not? Several pepper seed sites say that the bhuts and the naga's are the same. I bought seed of both varieties, and both produced similar looking fruit. From the photos I have seen on this forum it appears both are nagas and not bhuts. Wondering then where to get authentic seed. Which seed companies do you use?
I get my bhut seeds from the New Mexico State University Chile Pepper Institute.
While I did have a mix up with seeds this year, the bad seeds came from amazon or ebay (don't remember which), while the NMSU bhuts were perfect.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/
I got mine at the link provided, my first year I actually bought seedling that were shipped via USPS they are the same rough skin Bhut's as NMSU sell's. The next year I grew from seeds I saved and had 90% germination. I do have a few seeds if you would like. Let me know.

How to do a minimal finish update on furniture?
Hi! Originally posted this on a different forum and they recommended I put it over here instead. Apologies if duplication causes problems!
I recently purchased a nice mid century dining set at the thrift store. Overall in nice condition. I'll reupholster chairs for sure. The wood finish is pretty nice - a little dull overall with a few areas of wear. It doesn't need to be completely refinished. Is there a product that after a light sanding, I could apply over the top to blend and update the finish? Color is good as is. Thank you!
The original finish is almost certainly lacquer for this period unless someone has refinished it in their basement.
Lacquer has the property of re-melting itself and becoming a single film finish.
First clean it (see the link below). For the chairs, I'd recommend getting some aerosol lacquer. Deft is a commonly available brand. For the table top, it's a bit difficult to get an even finish with aerosols. Deft, though, also makes a brushing lacquer that you can brush on a light coat or two. I'd also scuff sand it a bit first to even out the wear areas. Just enough to dull the surface.
The only possible problem with this procedure is if the original owner used Pledge (or any polish containing silicone oil) on the piece. It messes up the surface tension of the finishes applied over it and causes them to fish-eye. There are cures for this, but I'm not aware they are DIY level.
If you have spray equipment, you could also get canned lacquer. But I'm assuming if you have this equipment, you probably wouldn't ask this question. (An observation, not a criticism)
Here is a link that might be useful: saving the finish.

The campaigns are breaking rapidly in February fashion magazines, which are already on stands and ready to bring you suggestions for all those warm-weather clothes you won't need for months and months. Alongside Ginta Lapina, androgynous male model Andrej Pejic appears in the Marc by Marc Jacobs ads, looking more manly than he usually does. Manly in a Brad Goreski "I love it when my thighs breathe" kind of way, that is.

Your favorite way to preserve peppers
What is your favorite way to preserve peppers, sweet or hot? I have a mixture of hot and sweet peppers in my garden, and I am going to have an overflow at the end of the season. I'm looking for ideas.
Spreading out on a cookie sheet allows for the ice crystals to form around the diced pepper. This lends to "separate" pieces frozen in the baggie. When you just dump a bunch of diced veggies in the bag they will freeze in blocks instead of bits and pieces.
It just depends on how you want to use them. Takes less time to freeze them whole or in chunks and dice them if needed at use time. If all you use them for is diced then freeze them diced.
We use pepper chunks in cooking more than diced so that is how we freeze them and then just chop up the chunks if we need diced ones. Plus I don't like leaving the stems on or all the seeds in them so I don't freeze them whole and do it before freezing. Others leave them.
Your choice. It all works.
It's mostly personal preference. I freeze some whole (usually anaheims or anchos) for chile rellanos or stuffed peppers; the rest in strips for stir-frys, then I can always cut them smaller for other recipes. I try to preserve for the "recipe", so to speak.
I mix them, pickle them in small jars of mixed colors and flavors, then give as gifts. Has always been popular. Don't have my recipe here but you can find them online. I know it has a clove of garlic and maybe some mustard seeds . . . anyway any type of safe brine pickling mix will work.
I also pickle mine, sometimes just refridgerator style in half gallons. Otherwise, I do several pints of pepper relish. The mix of peppers makes each batch unique.
I do as others have said. I dice sweet peppers for the most part, but I usually have a gallon of frozen slices for times I want peppers and onions. Once the peppers are frozen it is very difficult to cut them with a knife and I hate handling the icy bits then too. I try to think ahead and anticipate how I want them.
One thing that wasn't mentioned is making pepper vinegar. It is simple and very delicious on the greens I grow in the winter.
I slice or dice sweet peppers and freeze or however they should be cut for recipes. Thawed peppers are way too hard to cut, especially to dice. I also dice enough green chilies to use in soup and chili recipes.
I candied jalapenos for the first time. I won't eat them, and dh thought they were good enough to eat once in awhile. I don't know if that endorsement is good enough for me to make it worth doing again though.
I was looking through some old backup hard drives today and came across two recipes that I forgot about and haven't made in quite a while. Both good. The comments are all from the original poster.
Shirley's Red Pepper Jam
This is my favorite Pepper Jam recipe.
12 Sweet red peppers [you may add a few red jalapenos for heat]
1 Tbls. canning salt
2 cups white vinegar
3 cups sugar
Remove seeds from peppers and put through food processor. Don't over process. Place in bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 2 hours. Drain.
Place in stainless steel clad bottomed cook-pot. Add sugar and vinegar. Cook slowly and stir until consistency of jam. This may take 1/2 hr. to 45 min. Seal in sterile jars. Process 10 min in HWB.
Yield: 6 or 7 half pints.
Great with creme cheese and Ritz crackers.
And a knockoff of Harry and David's Pepper and Onion Relish (I think this was Shirley's recipe, too, but the file is dated 2008, so my memory may be faulty and before I started noting who posted the recipe):
My last batch today is the last try at my H&D pepper, onion relish taste alike. I've made 4 batches of this already this season and I think I have got it about where I want it. If anyone is interested or even gives a dang, here is my recipe.
I used my Cuisinart to chop all the peppers. Tomatoes were peeled, seeded and diced very small. The onion was diced using the Julienne blade of my V-slicer.
12 med Red bell peppers
10 jalapenos
5 assorted green, yellow or red hot peppers
5 large plum tomatoes
1 large onion. Any kind will do.
2 cups white vinegar
3 cups granulated sugar
Remove seeds and white membrane from red peppers
Remove HALF the seeds from the jalapenos
Remove half the seeds from the other hots.
Chop peppers in food processor
Place in bowl with prepared tomatoes and onion. Sprinkle with 1 Tbls. canning salt. Let stand about 1 hour.
Drain off liquid. I use my quart capacity strainer with a handle. The holes are smaller than my colander. You don't want any of the small pepper pieces falling through.
Place peppers, onions and tomatoes in cooking pot and add sugar and vinegar. Cook over medium heat until thick as you like. Usually 30 or 45 minutes is plenty. You can almost tell by the texture.
Ladle into jam jars and seal.
Process 20 minutes in Hot water bath.
I cut and freeze the bell peppers for use during the winter.
The spicy ones (cayenne) I dry then pulse in a food processor to make my own chili flakes or powder. I do this with some sweeter chiles or peppers too.
Be careful with this. I dry the peppers in the garage (they release the capsassium and burn our eyes, etc) and when I'm getting them out of the food processor I'm careful not to breath in any pepper "dust."
Good luck and enjoy!
I've posted this before, but in keeping with the questions subject I'll post the recipe for this hot sauce again. It calls for Jalepinos but you can use any kind - or a combination of whatever is growing in your garden. The last I made was a half recipe using Habaneros with a few red Jalepinos, it is the prettiest orange color and tastes hot-wonderful.
This recipe is originally from Lee Fanucchi, a Fresno County Master Gardener.
Red Devil Sauce
1 pound Jalepino Peppers ( or any pepper you have )
1 cup Cider Vinegar
2 Tablspoons Kosher Salt
2-3 cloves of Garlic
Place all in a blender jar and purée. Pour into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator.
It will last up to two years.
You can use any color of peppers, but I've found that using all the same color looks prettier.
I've made Westelle's recipe many times, but I got it from a jar of Chinese chili paste, which only listed the ingredients, and I winged it. I use a combination of jalapeno and Serrano chilies and remove all of the seeds, to make it a bit milder, and I only use red ones.
I have a lot of Habanero chilies in my yard, and to preserve them, I grill them over mesquite wood with some sweet bell peppers (to make it a bit less hot), and then store them covered for a couple of hours, to allow them to steam. Then I put them through a food mill (while wearing a swim mask and snorkel to avoid breathing fumes) to remove the skins and seeds. I store the puree with white Balsamic vinegar and salt, and it seems to keep for several months in the refrigerator. I like the smokey flavor from the mesquite.
Thanks for posting that H&D's knock off malna! I had dug it up last summer but had weird symbols for the fractions. I do want to try that, though at the time I was looking for a savory tomato jam to use as a sandwich spread when we don't have ripe tomatoes (most of the year).
I did freeze some pepper pieces last year to use in pepper jelly (which I haven't made) this year. But a lot of them (pre-measured - grrr!) got used for something else. Our season is too short to get many ripe peppers.
I've got cases of pickled peppers in the basement, so won't do any more. But I have dried them (chiles only) before, so I have bags full that DH stripped off the plants I had hanging up. I should put those in jars with a dessicant (or just seal with Foodsaver?) before they start molding. Though I think they're thoroughly dry, I don't like storing them in ziploc bags.
I just picked a few today - sweet banana and I don't know what planted from minisweet grocery store seed. Not mini, not really sweet, but not hot. A 7 inch pepper gave me 3/4C chopped. I might freeze some of these for chile rellenos.
The only way we get ripe (meaning red) peppers is to plant them in containers. I just picked about a dozen red ripe Gypsy (sweet) peppers - off of 6 plants with lots more orange ready to turn, and my poblanos are starting to turn.
We've already canned 6 pints of pepperoncinis - those were green, but we needed to take some pressure off the plants. We only have two plants, and they are going gangbusters, even with this weird cool (dare I say cold? I'm still wearing a jacket in the morning), dry summer.
It's been dry there? Aside from the past 2 weeks (last monsoon was 2 weeks ago yesterday, last night was just a very brief downpour) it's been pretty wet here.
I'm hoping with a new high tunnel I can get tomatoes and peppers in earlier and harvested earlier next year.
I've got ripe tomatoes, after the relish today/tomorrow I may start making salsa. But I just picked about 8 lbs of green beans, so may have to blanch and freeze those soon - otherwise make a trip to the food pantry tomorrow! I've got a farm stand in the garage, but we're 1/2 mile off the state highway, in a cul de sac, with a 700ft driveway so I don't get a lot of drive-by traffic ;-(
Yeah, crazy dry. To the north, south, east and west of us, there has been 4-9+ inches of rain since July 4th. We got 1/2 an inch in seven weeks. As if Mother Nature had a big umbrella right over my garden. One day, our friend (four miles away, mind you) got 1-1/2 inches. We literally got four drops. Lake level is down about 6 to 6-1/2 feet from August normal, meaning our well is also down considerably. Just trying to save the producing plants that really need water.
I was in the same boat (high and dry) in 2012. Our well only replenishes 1.5 gal/min so potatoes got pulled as new potatoes and I watered everything else bare minimum. Hope you get some rain soon (even though it might spoil your holiday weekend). At least peppers don't want/need that much water.
DH and I were just up at the garden doling out water to the needy, and we started reminiscing about the "anniversary". Three years ago today, Hurricane Irene arrived. We had more water than we knew what to do with.
This was three weeks after the hurricane. You can't discern our driveway or yard off to the right because it was still flooded, and, yes, we had fish in the basement. Note to Mother Nature: Could I have a just a LITTLE BIT of that water back? In its proper place, please? And, yes, I have never seen met so many idiots as I did in that month. Kids kept stealing the "Road Closed" signs, so we had to make our own.

what is the accepted timeline on beer from brew keg to bottle?
I have been told
1 week in fermenter then transfer to secondary.
1 week in secondary and then transfer to bottles.
1 week bottled and can be drank for a total of 21 days!
this sounds like it is rushing it to me?
I really want to do it right and have good tasting beer...........thanks for any response
Well, the 1-2-3 method you speak of is actually:
1 week in primary
2 weeks in secondary
3 weeks in bottle
This is only a guideline and many beers will take different times to ferment out and taste good. In fact, no 2 fermentations are alike, so it could be different even if you brew the same beer twice. One week in all three is way too short. It will take at least 3 weeks in the bottle.
123 refers to
1 in the Primary
2 in the Secondary
3 Bottle conditioning or Keg Conditioning
It's a boilerplate answer for boilerplate questions.
It's used quite a bit 'round here because we often don't get a recipe, technique, environment information from the OP. Many times we have to contend with a n00bs compulsion to futz with the natural order of fermentation.
Sometimes it's a matter of getting the OP's mind right about being patient; not focusing on petty details at such an early stage; giving the new brewer an easy win.
So it's not always the "best practice" or the perfect answer, but it is an answer that will work.
Many of us advocate/do the 4-3 method...4 weeks in primary, 3 weeks in bottles...no secondary.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Forget 1-2-3...let the beer tell you when it's ready. That's the job of the hydrometer.
thank you so much for the quick and informative responses.
now i understand why my beer has always been tasting so much better at the bottom of the keg than when i first tap it-same with bottles! it has had more time to do it's thing!!!!!!!!!!!........cheers and thanks again
I'm kinda curious about secondary as I'll be dry hopping my next batch. After racking to secondary after fermentation is done what protects the beer? Is a small amount of CO2 that is in solution come out and provide a layer of protection while in secondary?

Myself and 7 firends went to the Cosmopolitan for 5 nights last week and i felt i needed to warn other travellers not to stay in this hotel. We chose this hotel as it was new and looked amazing on the website but when we got there we realised we made a mistake and should have stuck with Caesars Palace!
When we checked in we were advised that the rooms we booked in January 2011 did not exist and this was the fault of the website we booked with and our travel agent, luckly for us our travel agent was travelling with us. Eventually after an hour speaking with the check in guy and the manager and after first offering us a downgrade they put us in a wrap around suite. Now don't get me wrong the room was amazing and the view was spectacular we were on the 65th floor looking straight at the planet hollywood sign.
We were there for 5 nights and our room was cleaned twice, we found chewing gum at the side of the bed, there was still hairs in both showers, we ordered room service on the Saturday night and no one came to collect it and it was still in our room when we were checking out. Our friends other room had the same problem with hairs in the shower and they had the pleasure of finding a condom on there balcony aswell.
Throughout our stay it felt like everything was an effort when we asked staff in the hotel a question or enquired about anything.
With our package we were entitled to two free breakfasts each morning so two would pay each day and then the 8 of us with sit together, on the 5th morning we were told that if we all wanted to sit together that would be a charge of 8% charged to our room for a table of 8 or more!! We tried to explain we had sat together all the other days for breakfast and they said that was the charge when a manager came over we just knew there was no point in speaking with her as we were be told "were sorry you feel that way".
When we tired to go sit at any of the pools and sunbath we were shocked to find that you had to pay for a sun lounger nothing is free in this hotel. The sun loungers at the Boulevard pool are $100 and at the Marquee Dayclub probably looking at starting price of $200. All other hotels in Vegas u do not have to pay for a sun lounger.
There is no atmosphere in the hotels casino area compared to the likes of Caesars or MGM or New York New York.
There was more that happened but these are just some of our highlights! I would most definitly return to Vegas but i would never even return to the Cosmopolitan for a drink!

It was just a couple of weeks ago that we wondered if we were going to be seeing Terrence Malick's then-untitled romance starring (deep breath) Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz, Javier Bardem, Barry Pepper, Michael Sheen and Amanda Peet before the end of the year.

Sandy leaves behind in sorrow his wife Susan (nee Beauchamp), their children Katherine (Karl), Joe (Melanie) and Dave (Amanda), his brother Joe of Axe Lake and sister Ann of New Zealand. He will be truly missed by his sisters and brothers–in-law, and relatives in Canada, New Zealand, Australia and England, and by his dear friends who journeyed through life with him.

Sandy enjoyed his camp on Manitoulin, all sports, coaching kids, his travels to Europe, particularly to Portugal, and he had a special love of fishing. Rested at the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home, 233 Larch Street, Sudbury. Friends called from 2 pm to 5 pm and 7 pm to 9 pm on Tuesday. Prayers were at 3 pm on Tuesday.

 The ISSC Radar blog series covers the current and future trends observed by Collaboration Services members.

This blog introduces the IBM Collaboration Solutions Certification Program Manager - Sara Nicklin.

Sara Nicklin has been with IBM for seven years. Her current role is WW Professional Certification Program Manager for IBM Collaboration Solutions Education which she has held for the past 3.5 years. Prior to her current role, she held a position as the instructor program administrator also with IBM Collaboration Solutions Education.

As worldwide Professional Certification Program Manager for IBM Collaboration Solutions Education, Sara deals with people inside and outside of IBM. She works a lot with IBM's training partners, other instructors, certified professionals, and conference organizers in order to promote certification at conferences via collateral or to offer on-site testing and/or vouchers for discounted tests to conference attendees.

Within IBM, she works closely at a worldwide level reaching out to geographies to learn if the instructors have the necessary skills to meet any new courseware requirements that may be coming out. This ensures instructors are certified themselves, thereby making sure they have the qualifications and the skills needed to deliver the courses in their respective geographies.

In her spare time, Sara enjoys hiking, bike riding and yoga. She is a volunteer tutor with the Adult Literacy Council of York-Simcoe, which she finds very rewarding.

Sara is also the author of a White Paper entitled, "The Value of IT Certification" of which she is quite proud (and for good reason).
Not only was her White Paper adopted within IBM, but Sara has seen the document adopted by other vendors who have IT certification.
Validation indeed. The paper explains the value of certification with quantifiable data which is why it is so valuable. Sara is also working in
partnership with Prometric who designed a web-based resource to give people information on the value of IT certification. We asked Sara to
share some of her insight in trends concerning certification.

 Tell us about certification
IBM Collaboration Solutions Education has the longest running certification programs in the IT industry which predates many of our competitors. Our essential philosophy is this: Enable an individual to take a test and thereby provide proof of their competence within a particular job role with a particular technology or group of technologies. Our certification is geared towards administrators, developers, specialists, designers, solution developers and IT security professionals. We have a number of certifications which exist that we create based on this criteria: What does a technical professional need to understand about a software product in order to perform a specific job role?

 What trends to you see in certification?
In certification, things tend to ebb and flow. As software product release cycles become quicker certification cycles are smaller and smaller as they need to follow suite, obviously. We have programs for Business Partners, for the Academic Initiative, and for conference attendees but I won't get into those because they are demographically specific. For this blog, I'll focus on IBM Collaboration Solutions Certification.

 One trend I've noticed in certification is among IBM Lotus® Notes® and Domino® system administrators. Certification was up earlier this year. In the mature market there is a core group of people who are going after their certifications but overall we're seeing a decline. Where we are seeing an increase for IBM Lotus ® Notes® Domino® certifications is in the growth markets. IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM Connections certifications, however, are on the rise in both markets.

 At events I attended earlier this year, I met a lot of interesting people who were asking about certification on IBM Lotus ® Notes ® 8.5, but they didn't have version 6 certification but they were certified on previous versions. (Typically most people who come to certify on 8.5 are already certified on 8.) So there appears to be a new group of people who are returning to IBM Lotus ® Notes® and Domino® certification after an extended hiatus.

 So our legacy products (like IBM Lotus ® Notes® ) make up the bulk of our certifications achieved but people may not be aware that we also have advanced collaboration certifications that are increasing as well:

IBM SmartCloud migration certification

IBM Quickr® certification

Connections certification

Sametime certification

IBM Forms certification

 We also have a lot of IBM WebSphere Portal certifications. We are seeing growth in all these areas:

IBM WebSphere® Portal

IBM Web Experience factory

IBM WebSphere® Content Manager

 What do you enjoy most about the IBM Collaboration Solutions certification program?

What I enjoy most about our certification programs is the cross brand discounts and promotions people can take advantage of within the IBM brand. The "Take it again" program, for instance, which IBM Collaboration Solutions spear-headed for software group in 2009 is proving very popular. It is a worldwide program which is open to anyone.

 The way it works is this: A candidate registers for a special voucher (which costs a little more than the traditional certification exam) but if they don't pass the first time, they can take the test again at no additional cost. I'm finding people are taking advantage of this program alot because it is helpful for those who might be nervous about taking tests or are unsure about their ability to pass. It takes the pressure off knowing they can go back and retake the test free of charge.

 Also, in the last two years we have been creating our own assessment tests for the exams.
The cost is $30.00 US. It contains the exact same number of questions, is the same length and covers the same competencies as the corresponding certification exam. People can access assessments from the above website and take them anytime they wish. Think of it as diagnostic tools which gives you a snapshot of where you stand before taking the actual test. It is used by people who want to take the exams and believe they are prepared but want to double check before they spend that kind of money. We also offer discounts and promotions too, when appropriate.

 There is also the IBM Collaboration Solutions train & certify program. If an individual takes an official authorized course, they can then go ahead and take the corresponding exam for 50% off.

 So what new certification programs do you have to share?

There are a couple of items on the agenda for 2012 that are very exciting.
First, we have the system administration certification for IBM Connections 4, scheduled to be released at the end of October. This certification, like previous Connections credentials, requires candidates to pass one test in order to achieve the corresponding certification. The test will be called "LOT-402: Administering IBM Connections 4.0".

Second, we are creating a new group of associate level certification tests to take the place of our outdated Technical Sales Mastery exams. These tests are not as technical as our other certifications and test at a more fundamental level. They would be appropriate for power users, resellers and support engineers. More information on these associate level certifications can be found on the announcement on the certification web page.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Lawyer says New Delhi gang rape suspects were beaten by police
NEW DELHI - Police badly beat the five suspects arrested in the brutal gang rape and killing of a young woman on a New Delhi bus, the lawyer for one of the men said Thursday, accusing authorities of tampering with evidence in the case that has transfixed India.
"They are innocent," Manohar Lal Sharma said of the five suspects ahead of a court hearing, which ended quickly after it turned out some of the official court paperwork listing the charges was illegible. He said police have beaten the men and placed other prisoners into the suspects' cells to threaten them with knives, adding, "You can't believe the reality of Indian prisons."
Five men have been charged with attacking the 23-year-old woman and a male friend on a bus as it was driven through the streets of India's capital. The woman was raped and assaulted with a metal bar on Dec. 16 and eventually died of her injuries. Rape victims are not identified in India, even if they die, and rape trials are closed to the media.
Sharma, who has made a series of inflammatory and often-contradictory statements over the past two days, at one point Thursday said the dead woman's male companion, who boarded the bus with her after the pair saw a movie together, was "responsible for the whole thing." He gave no details, though, and a few hours later said the man's responsibility "was only my opinion."
The case has sparked protests across India by women and men who say India's legal system doesn't do enough to prevent attacks on women. Women have told stories of relentless abuse — from catcalls to bus gropings to rapes — and of a police and judicial system that does little to stop it, often blaming victims' unchaste behaviour.
The woman and her male friend were coming home from a movie at a New Delhi mall when they boarded a bus that police say was carrying the defendants, who were travelling together on a joy ride through the city. The woman's friend, who has not been identified, has said he tried to defend the woman but was soon beaten unconscious. Authorities say the two were dumped off the bus, naked and bloody, later.
Sharma said that authorities, under pressure to quickly wrap up the case, would convict the suspects no matter what evidence, including forcing them to make incriminating statements.
"What happened to this woman was so heinous, so horrible," Sharma said, adding that, "the police will manipulate the facts."
Sharma also said that the woman's companion was ultimately responsible.
"The boyfriend betrayed" her, he said. "The boyfriend is responsible for the whole thing," he said, before backing away from the statement later in the day.
Sharma spoke to reporters before a hearing for the suspects in a New Delhi court complex. While Sharma had said he represented three of the suspects — bus driver Ram Singh, Singh's brother Mukesh, and another man, Akshay Thakur — the court eventually approved him to serve as the lawyer only for Mukesh Singh. Other lawyers were assigned to three other suspects, and it was not immediately clear why the fifth had no assigned lawyer.
The suspects were quickly hustled into the courtroom Thursday afternoon for the hearing, their faces covered by scarves or hats. They were surrounded by rings of policemen, and it was not clear if they were handcuffed or shackled.
Thursday's hearing had been expected to result in the case being sent to a special "fast-track" court. India's legal system is painfully slow, corrupt and inefficient, with many cases lasting years, even decades.
But much of the work of the hearing had to be postponed until Monday, after lawyers found that some of the official paperwork was not legible.
Sharma appears to be preparing a defence based, in part, on the many problems with the legal and judicial system. He indicated the men had been picked up because the authorities needed to make arrests given the public outcry, and the suspects all come from poor or working class families.
"If the parents of these boys had money, they would not be in court today," he said. India's court system is notorious for allowing wealthy defendants to go free, or at least delaying their trials for years.
He said his clients had all been badly beaten by authorities — a practice common for those under arrest in India — and had repeated whatever statements the police asked them to make. He said Mukesh Singh, 22, was now constantly in tears.
"He is sobbing like a child and saying 'Get me out of here, sir,'" Sharma said.
Authorities have charged the men with murder, rape and other crimes that could bring the death penalty. A sixth suspect, who is 17 years old, is expected to be tried in a juvenile court, where the maximum sentence would be three years in a reform facility.
Prosecutor Rajiv Mohan said last week that a DNA test confirmed that the blood of the victim matched blood stains found on the clothes of all the accused.

Investigating The Optimum Carrier Sensing Range Using Transmission Relation Graph in Wireless Ad hoc Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The size of the carrier sensing range has a great impact on the network performance. Previous studies have focus on computing asymptotic optimum carrier sensing range using unrealistic interference models. In this paper, based on realistic interference model, the authors propose a framework to determine the optimum carrier sensing range of a network. By regarding the given network and the settings as input and modeling the interferences in wireless networks using Transmission Relation Graph (TRG), their framework can compute a precise optimum carrier sensing range for the given network.

Pheasant hunting is a great experience
I grew up in the best pheasant hunting region in Pierce County. As good as that area is, it isn't much when you compare it to South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska or any of the other great pheasant hunting regions in the U.S. In fact, when the best pheasant hunting states in the nation are listed, and they list over 20 in some stories, Wisconsin never even makes the list.
We are known for deer, cheese and beer, and that's OK with me.
