In SharePoint 2010 Essential Training, author Simon Allardice demonstrates the full feature set in SharePoint 2010 and the necessary skills to be a SharePoint site administrator. The course shows how to use SharePoint, create sites and site collections, and plan and design sites and portals. It also covers Office integration, security and permissions, and advanced features such as document management and business intelligence.
In SharePoint 2007, you could create content types to better define the type of content coming through your SharePoint sites. You don't have generic document; you have resumes or contracts or specifications. Sure, they are still documents, but they are wrapped out with form of Metadata. Extra information about the status or the date received or the handling instruction. While content types are still very important to SharePoint 2010, they go even deeper with document sets. Here is the idea of a document set. That, often you create will work with multiple documents at the same time and this is a repeated event.
If you are developing software products, you might have functional specs in Word, project plans in Excel, user interface mockups in Photoshop files. If you're creating multiple business plans, you might always have a presentation in PowerPoint, first-year projections in Excel, a Non-Disclosure Agreement in Word. If your business opens new locations, you could have multiple documents with market projections, competition analysis, maps, design documents, blueprints and contracts. With a document set in SharePoint 2010, you can formalize things.
You can create a Business Plan document set with all the documents contained in it or a Software Product document set or a New Location document set. You can even have default templates for all of the individual documents, so when you make a new one everything is automatically there. Now, sure you could keep track of these informally in your own head the way you've always done, but SharePoint has always been about formalizing where possible, so you don't have to think about it any more than necessary. So, how do you make one of these? Well, one you have to turn it on.
Document sets are actually a feature in SharePoint that needs to be activated. Step two, you define your document set and they are content types. So, they are defined in your Content Type gallery and you need two things. What documents are allowed or required in the document set and what metadata, what extra information needs to be stored with each occurrence of the document set? Once it's defined, you can attach this document set to a library and then use it. You can then create a document set and in a moment we'll see exactly how.

Our oline was horrendous prior to drafting Jake Long. He was the top player on the board. Could we have drafted Ryan? Sure, but the trifecta already had another vision with Henne.
I don't know why I am continuing, all of this hindsight is 20/20 is nonsense.
In your opinion, in my opinion, it all doesn't matter now what mistakes have been made.
The bottom line is to get it fixed.

The Rcmdr package is a standard R package, and it installs and is loaded in the normal manner. There are, however, a few installation issues, particularly on Macintosh systems, and these are described in this document.
A general point is keep is mind is that the Rcmdr package uses a number of other "contributed" packages (in addition to packages, such as tcltk and MASS, that are part of the standard R distribution), and these must be present for it to work properly: abind, aplpack, car, colorspace, effects, Hmisc, leaps, lmtest, multcomp, relimp, rgl, XLConnect, and (on Windows) RODBC. Many of these packages have their own dependencies, which depend on still other packages, etc.
On platforms other than 32-bit Windows, you also need to have Java installed in order to read data in Excel files directly.
Once it is installed, to load the Rcmdr package, just enter the command library(Rcmdr).
Notes for specific platforms follow:
The easiest way to install the Rcmdr package if you have an active Internet connection, is via the Rgui Packages -> Install packages menu or via the command
When you first load the Rcmdr package with the command library(Rcmdr), it will offer to download and install missing dependencies; allow it to do so. If you installed R in Program Files under Windows Vista or Windows 7, you should run R with adminstrator privileges to install packages: Right click the R icon and select "Run as administrator." I suggest that you install R into a different directory, such as C:\R\, to avoid this issue.
On Windows, the Rcmdr package works best with the single-document Rgui interface (SDI). Under the default multiple-document interface (MDI), Tk dialog boxes may not stay on top of the main R window. This is a general issue with applications, such as the R Commander, that are based on the tcltk package.
To enable the SDI, make a copy of the R desktop icon (right-click on the icon, drag it to a different location on the desktop, select Copy Here from the context menu). Right-click the new icon and select Properties. Add --sdi (preceded by a space) to the Target field on the Shortcut tab of the Properties dialog box. The field should read something like "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\Rgui.exe" --sdi. If you wish, change the name of the icon on the General tab (e.g., to R 2.15.1 SDI). Click OK. Alternatively, you can install R to use the SDI, or you can edit the Rconsole file in R's etc subdirectory.
If you wish to load the R Commander automatically when R starts up, you can add the following to the Rprofile.site file in R's etc directory:
old <- getOption("defaultPackages")
options(defaultPackages = c(old, "Rcmdr"))
Linux/Unix systems typically have all of the software required for building packages already installed. The easiest way to install the Rcmdr package if you have an active Internet connection is to run R as root and issue the command install.packages("Rcmdr") at the R prompt.
On Ubutu systems, in particular, the following procedure should work (slightly modified from a suggestion by Ista Zahn):
These instructions are for R version 3.0.1 or later; if you're using an earlier version of R, I suggest that you upgrade, or, failing that, consult the special Mac OS X installation notes for the R Commander under older versions of R. R 3.0.1 only supports Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or greater. Please read these instructions carefully: They are a little complicated.
(1) From Rcmdr version 2.1-3, you can suppress app nap via the R Commander Tools > Manage Mac OS X app nap for R.app menu. Select the radio button to set app nap off in the resulting dialog box. This setting is permanent across R.app sessions until you change it.(2) You can avoid the problem by running R in a terminal window rather than using R.app. There really is no reason to prefer running the R Commander in R.app, so using R from a terminal should be perfectly fine .
(3) You can prevent your computer from napping when R.app is running, even if it's not visible, by right-clicking (or control-clicking) on R.app in the Applications folder in the Finder, and selecting Get Info from the context menu. Check the box next to Prevent App Nap. The change is permanent until you reverse it by unchecking the box. This solution only works with the snowleopard build of R.app.
(4) Enter the following command in a Mac terminal window at the Unix command prompt:
defaults write org.R-project.R NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES
This is the manual equivalent of solution (1), and is permanent until reversed.
Occasionally, the Rcmdr package will fail to load properly in Mac OS X. When this problem occurs, the cause is almost always the failure of the tcltk package to load --The Rcmdr package depends on the tcltk package. You can confirm this diagnosis by trying to load the tcltk package directly, in a fresh R session, issuing the command library(tcltk)at the R command prompt.
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
call: system2("otool", c("-L", shQuote(DLL)), stdout = TRUE)
error: error in running command
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'tcltk'

/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.6.dylib: stat() failed with errno=13
You can verify the source of this problem by issuing the following command at the R command prompt:
system("ls -ld /usr/local /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libtcl*")
If there is a file-permissions problem, you should see something like
ls: /usr/local/lib: Permission denied
ls: /usr/local/lib/libtcl*: Permission denied
drwx------ 8 root wheel 272 Sep 24 10:21 /usr/local
Having confirmed the problem, you can change the file permissions in /usr/local by opening a terminal window on your Mac (Terminal.app is in the Applications Utilities folder), and entering the following command at the $ prompt in the terminal window:
sudo chmod -R a+rX /usr/local
The operating system will ask you to supply your password to execute this command.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks") and the R Commander becomes slow or unresponsive, you can run R and the R Commander in a terminal window on your Mac rather than from R.app or prevent your computer from "napping" while R.app is running.. See the installation notes above.

Pnictides of the family AFe2As2, where A is an alkaline earth element, exhibit several phase transitions in their structure and magnetic order as functions of applied pressure. We employ density functional theory total energy calculations at T=0K to model these transitions for the entire set of alkaline earths (A=Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra) which form the 122 family. Three distinct types of transition occur: an enthalpic transition in which the striped antiferromagnetic orthorhombic (OR-AFM) phase swaps thermodynamic stability with a competing tetragonal phase; a magnetic transition in which the OR-AFM phase loses its magnetism and orthorhombicity; a lattice parameter anomaly in which the tetragonal c-axis collapses. We identify this last transition as a "Lifshitz transition" caused by a change in Fermi surface topology. Depending on the element A, the tetragonal state exhibiting the Lifshitz transition might be metastable (A=Ca) or stable (A=Sr, Ba and Ra).

Ryan Scott Ottney
PDT Staff Writer
FRANKLIN FURNACE — Green High School band teacher Adam Phillips resigned from the school on Thursday, following a disciplinary school board meeting earlier this week.
According to Green Superintendent Sandy Mers, Phillips was accused of being involved in an incident that occurred after school-hours in which students were inadvertently exposed to inappropriate adult material. Mers said that upon realizing the situation, Phillips quickly removed the students.
The school board met Monday for a special meeting to discuss possible disciplinary action, but no action was taken.
Mers said Phillips submitted to her a written letter of resignation on Thursday, citing only personal reasons. She said she was waiting to discuss Phillips' contract with the new district treasurer Brodie Merrill when Merrill starts on Monday. In the meantime, she said Phillips will not be back and a substitute teacher has taken over the band while the school begins its search for a full-time replacement.
Phillips was not available to comment on Thursday.

Texans linebacker Brian Cushing and cornerback Johnathan Joseph didn't participate in the first day of OTAs Tuesday at the team's indoor practice facility near NRG Stadium.
Coach Bill O'Brien said he fully expects the veteran duo to eventually be healthy enough to practice and play. But Cushing and Joseph watched from the sideline while the team went through its first of 10 OTAs.
Cushing said May 4 he was still determining how much he would participate in the Texans' offseason program.
"Brian's doing well. He's working hard," O'Brien said. "I'm not sure. I'm not a doctor; I don't know when he'll be back. But I've gotten to know Brian and he's a hard-working guy and an important part of this football team."
O'Brien said Tuesday's session was very positive, with the team focusing on up-tempo practices that approach the speed of regular-season games.
"It was an exciting day," O'Brien said. "A lot of good competition. Guys are really working hard. Obviously, not everything's perfect. They're still getting use to our practice tempo and things like that. But I thought the guys really competed hard and were being good teammates and being coachable, which is all you can ask."

Technology Delivers Descriptions Via Algorithms, Methods
March 21, 2007
Shorter scanning time and clinically diagnostic images reportedly may be obtained with UltraSPECT Wide Beam Reconstruction (WBR) technology, a resolution recovery reconstruction method.
A technology that delivers a description of the physical model via mathematical algorithms and methods, WBR has a substantial impact on the system's resolution, said the company. It eliminates the LSF (Line Spread Function) limitation of current SPECT systems, improving the system's resolution. Its algorithm can incorporate various physical effects such as scattering, attenuation and the marginal penetration through the collimator septa, according to the company.

you could get inside the heads of the people around you, you'd probably be
surprised at how unsure and unconfident they feel. It's likely that they'd feel
the same about you. We're pretty good at hiding our true thoughts; it's why
we're always so shocked—and relieved—when somebody honestly expresses
them."--From Start Your
Week with Steve, a free weekly e-mail newsletter by artist Steve Henderson.
And because the entire world isn't made up of exactly the same
person, some people vociferously encourage and praise the artist's efforts
while others condemn it, soundly and roundly.
So one of the first oil painting lessons a person who enters the art arena
learns is to thicken that skin a bit and not take every comment personally. A
second oil painting tip is to cultivate the ability to be your own best critic—listening to what you hear around you, sifting it through your mental filters,
discerning valid criticism from random talk, and experimenting according to how you want to create your oil painting art, for example.
And as with any endeavor, the more skills and oil painting techniques that
you know and grasp, the easier it is to deal with the inevitable criticism.
There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence, and while
the one blocks us from effectively learning and moving forward, the other,
balanced with humility, enables us to weigh the words we hear, separate the
valid from the invalid, and move forward in our art.
I think that type of insecurity is related to jobs where the results are difficult to judge or present several subjective angles like art. In other activities where results are tangible and measurable (numbers, sales, etc) this people tend to be more confident and take critics in other way. Artists we are more sensitive and we all know that whatever we consider as great painting, others can see it totally mediocre or just bad, this generates insecurity.
I agree humility is the tool to just do not care about critics and break our own rules to move ahead. Once I heard "paint as if you will show you painting to Velasquez, imagine he is your judge"
what can be a better self critic? :-)

I took these photos of this sweet and simple outfit a few weeks ago and thought I'd share them with you this lazy Sunday while I'm catching up on Gossip Girl, all sleepy after a huge roast dinner. (Can you believe GG finale is tomorrow? I hope it'll be suitably ridiculous. I will miss Blair's headbands!)
I chose this River Island bag as a birthday present a couple of years ago and it's gotten a LOT of use since. It's just the perfect size and the art deco inspired pattern on it is so pretty. They did it in navy for a while and I ummmed and ahhhed about buying the same bag again but didn't. Obviously now I wish I had!
In fact, this outfit is full of my current favourite things. I'm wearing a New Look jumper that I love - such a cute little collar! - and a Warehouse skirt and boyfriend coat in the most perfect shade, both of which have gotten a lot of wear this winter so far. I love all of Warehouse's coats and jackets this season and the skirt just goes with everything - if I'm wearing it, I was probably feeling lazy that morning!

Wings' weekend swept by Blue Jackets
MAR 10, 2013 8:17p ET
The Columbus Blue Jackets, who came into Sunday's game 14th in the Western Conference with 22 points, beat the Wings for the second straight night, 3-2 in a shootout.
For those scoring at home, the Wings went 1-3-1 against the Blue Jackets this season, collecting a total of three points out of a possible 10.
"It's huge," said Ryan Johansen, who had one of the Blue Jackets' two shootout goals. "It was talked about (Saturday) that we'd won the season series, and we didn't want to stop there. We wanted to keep taking it to them.
"We're all pretty happy about how our matchup with them has been going this season."
Detroit is 5-5-1 in their last 11 regular-season games against Columbus.
"They got a big D -- they're making it hard on you -- and we're not that heavy up front and so we spend little time in their zone," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "The other thing is, if you come out of your zone with speed and execute, then you got a better chance of being on top of people and hanging onto the puck.
"In two games, we didn't execute or handle their forecheck one bit."
With seven of their next eight games on the road, the Wings needed to earn more points against the Blue Jackets.
"I didn't think we competed hard enough in Game 1 (Saturday), for sure," Babcock said. "I thought we competed better here (Sunday).
"In the end, we didn't get enough points on the weekend."
Goaltender Jimmy Howard, who made 19 saves in regulation Sunday, credits the Blue Jackets for that.
"They play a tough style," he said. "They dump the puck in and then they all fall back in their own zone.
"All five of them are just standing there in front of the net and it's tough to get pucks through. We haven't found an answer yet for them."
The Wings no longer have to worry about the Blue Jackets, but they do have to worry about the way they've been playing.
"If we don't execute coming out of our own zone right away, we're not going to have any energy to attack," defenseman Jonathan Ericsson said. "As soon as we get the puck out of our zone, we're changing and we don't have numbers to actually attack on their net. That's the problem.
"We have to execute in our own zone. That's where it starts."
The Wings could also use a few more goals. They have 68 this season, tied with the Los Angeles Kings for fifth in the Western Conference.
However, since walloping the Vancouver Canucks 8-3 Feb. 24, the Wings have scored just 10 goals in regulation in their last seven games.
"Even when we win, we win 2-1," Babcock said. "We got two again (Sunday), so it looks like we can't give up two. We can only give up one. That's a hard way to play."
Playing on the road this season hasn't been easy on the Wings, either. They have a 3-5-2 road record.
The Wings are going to have to find a way to win on the road or they'll remember the season series against the Blue Jackets as the one that ended their playoff streak.

Interview with Hiroaki Kogure Sensei: Part One
by Stanley Pranin
Aiki News #82 (October 1989)
Hiroaki Kogure Sensei studied under Kenji Tomiki Sensei at Waseda University in the 1950's. An 8th dan, he is now contributing to the spread of Tomiki Aikido and guidance of the Japan Aikido Association as its Chief Director. Kogure Sensei talks about the JAA and its continuing efforts to develop Aikido in the spirit of Jenki Tomiki and Hideo Oba Senseis. This is the first of a two-part interview.
Hiroaki Kogure Sensei
There are several major organizations which control most of the flow of information in the aikido world. these organizations seem to have been the source of most practitioner's impressions of Tomiki Aikido and I believe that this has led to some misunderstanding and prejudice against the style. One of our tasks is to contact each aikido group directly in order to understand the views of its leadership and then to present our readers with information about their activities.
Yes, I know. We appreciate the effort you are making to introduce different styles of aikido such as ours. We hope that such information will be valuable for the further development of the aikido, towards which we have always kept an open mind.
Would you please tell us about Kenji Tomiki Sensei, the Founder of the Japan Aikido Association (JAA)?
Tomiki Sensei was an 8th dan in Judo and studied with Jigoro Kano Sensei. He was also active as a member of the Judo club when he was a student at Waseda University. Kano Sensei originally practiced Tenjin Shinyo-ryu and Kito-ryu Jujutsu and he picked out the throwing (nagewaza) and pinning (osaewaza) techniques from these arts and combined them to create "Judo", together with a curriculum which met the needs of the educational system. Kano Sensei wanted to include in his Judo striking (atemi) and joint (kansetsu) techniques along with the throwing and pinning techniques, but he passed away before he was able to accomplish his intention. Tomiki Sensei began to practice aikido in order to help carry out Kano Sensei's plan. So, in fact, tomiki Sensei was originally a Judoka. This is how tomiki Sensei came to study under Ueshiba Sensei. later he went to Manchuria and taught aikido at Kenkoku University and other places. However, since he was originally a Judoka, he could not forget Judo and he wanted to mix aikido with Judo in order to bring the art closer to the ideal that Jigoro Kano had in mind. However, he found it difficult to do so because of conditions in the Judo and aikido worlds. this is why he decided to study aikido thoroughly in order to introduce competition into the art. His theories were the result of much trial and error, but unfortunately Tomiki Sensei passed away before he could complete his work. Hideo Oba Sensei then carried on Tomiki Sensei's work, and now that task has been passed on to us. Although the art is still imperfect, I believe that there is always room for progress as long as we continue to study the art.
There must have been many problems and difficulties in introducing competition into the art. Would you tell us about some of them?
The greatest difficulty was how to handle atemi since in aikido it is hard to execute an effective joint technique without using atemi. For a time we used protective gear, and we also tried using Judo left-sweep techniques. In the end we decided to focus on the point where Judo theory and aikido theory overlapped, and we also concentrated on creating a useful educational system. Instead of attacking anatomical weaknesses like in karate, we found it more effective to attack the mechanical weaknesses of an opponent. For ecample, if I take two steps forward while my opponent takes only once step back, he will naturally fall backward. In other words, power is not necessary since he is in position to fall if I move my hips straight towards him. Then he will naturally try to use his hands to prevent himself from being pushed backwards and this will result in him making physical contact with me. We thought we could execute various techniques at this precise point of contact. this is how we started our study. Although in aikido we usually move in circular motion, in matches we tend to move along a straight line. When fighting in an empty-handed competition, a technique can only be effective if there is a great difference in ability between the two players. In a match between two strong practitioners, it is rare to see truly decisive technique. When there was criticism of this fact, Tomiki Sensei commented, "We rarely see decisive techniques in Judo competition, either. There are only about seven effective techniques in Judo matches. In karate, there are only a few variations such as punching and kicking techniques. In Kendo, there are only four scoring techniques, , kote, isuki, and do. Although in aikido it is said that there are around 3,000 techniques, there is nothing strange about the fact that there is only a limited number of technique which can be used in a practical situation. So, naturally it is more difficult to execute decisive techniques in matches." But his remark sounded strange to other martial artists. Then he develops a form of competition where an opponent thrusts freely with a knife. Nowadays, we use a rubber knife. That way, an opponent usually attacks with a straight thrust and this makes it easier to handle his attack and execute techniques. This form attracted the attention of teachers in the Metropolitan Police University and Tomiki Sensei and the University instructors together created the foundation of present-day police tactics. This is the way we have been studying aikido, and I believe that we will continue to make progress in the future. The problem is that since the content of the art is always changing as a result of our studies, those practicing abroad are left behind because the teachers who originally taught them have returned to Japan. Also, we are always trying to improve our judging methods in competition, and rules concerning decisions about effective techniques or illegal actions change over the years. We have recently, among other foreign affiliates, had a little bit of difficulty over the ranking system and fees. It might be best if each country agreed unanimously, but in reality each group, even within a country, has its own situation. Therefore, we primarily use our JAA fee schedule for shodan, nidan, and so on, while taking into consideration the condition of each country. if the fee is too high and not acceptable to a group, then we recalculate it in terms more suitable to that country and then convert that amount into yen. Just as with Judo and karate, if we Japanese insist that we are the best and do everything our way, we must be able to meet all claims from other countries. Therefore, we explained our intentions concerning the international development of Tomiki aikido at the International Aikido meeting held at the end of last month [June 19th, 1989]. We suggested that Japan should continue to lead for the next five years, because we have no completely worked out the problem of referees in aikido. We also decided to hold an international meet once every four years here in Japan, while holding an international event once every two years in each country in turn. We have all agreed that the decision to participate in these events should be left to each group.

Newport News, Va. – Just minutes before 2-year-old Angel Vazquez was hit by an SUV outside his Newport News home, his family recorded a home video of Angel playing with his identical twin brother Bryan. Angel died the next day in the hospital.
"It was so, so quick," says Manuel Vazquez, Angel's father. "How he got into the street I don't know."
One minute Vazquez says he was inside getting his family ready for church, the next he was outside, his tiny son bleeding on the pavement.
"Right here to here, open," Vazquez demonstrates the injury to Angel's head. "The only think I can see right there is the picture in my head. It's the picture in my head that I cannot do nothing."
Police say it was a 41-year-old woman who drove over Angel in a Ford Expedition.
Vazquez's niece, Mayriellies Perez, saw it happen. She says she screamed for the driver to stop.
"I heard when the car hit him and it was hard," she says.
You can still see the markings on the pavement where Angel was hit on Wickham Avenue near 29th street. Nearly a block away, are more markings. That's where Vazquez says the Expedition finally came to a halt. Now he wants to know why it took the driver so long to stop.
"Even if you hit a little cat you feel that," Vazquez says. "Even if you hit a rock you feel that. How you don't feel that you hit a boy of 2 years old. Two years and ten months. How don't you feel that? I want to know exactly what's going on."
As police continue their investigation, Vazquez says little Bryan asks about his brother every day.
Angel's tragic death will now save others. Vazquez decided to donate his son's organs.
"That's why Angel is still alive," he says. "He lives on in another child."

Not show you the incredible pictures of the hottest newly single woman on the planet in a tiny bikini on a yacht, just so we can diversify the article cue? Screw that. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't keep all you pervs up-to-date on what Bar's ass is doing at any given moment. Besides, I doubt anybody's going to complain. Having Bar's perfect image spread across everything can only help the world. If I didn't fear reverting into some pathetic drawback to my 15-year old self, I'd have a poster of that first pic above my bed. Who wouldn't want to wake up to the sight of that? Besides DiCaprio, anyway.

Just Checkin ;D I really feel like doing a take on Polong too XD
ah, you used a kris as a basis for a part of the demon... wonderful... the kris is one of my favorite asian blades...
Rez- by all means, go ahead!
NIRONERU- Yup, i do find the design of the Kris fascinating.. it's nice to know that you like it too!
Hoo, i was sure i commented here already! how could i manage to miss commenting here?
Man, thats a really wonderful finishing you have here! Love how the flat shapes work here, the flow is beautiful and the symbolic contrast is very nice... The way you made the flesh and bones bloom like flowers. Like the texture too!
Colors... beautiful!
here my thought...
I think the hand pops a bit strong, maybe because of the thicker dark outline.
Maybe a little bit fog behind the hand, then making the outline very thin and less dark (same as the other elements)
cheers man!
Good luck!

Tim Stanley writes in the Telegraph:
… Read the rest
Earlier this week, I wrote about pro-abortion activists chanting "Hail Satan!" in an effort to drown out a chorus of Amazing Grace at a rally in Texas. Tongue-in-cheek, I wrote, "I'm guessing that even the Horned One would regard association with the US abortion industry as bad PR." I meant it as a joke but, er, it turns out I was right.
A writer at the WND website spotted that the UK Church of Satan Tweeted this after the story broke:
Unfortunate to see Satan's name used in such a diabolical manner. Another example of what 'Satanism' doesn't represent. #HailSatan
Yep, it turns out that the UK Church of Satan is prolife. They later Tweeted, "Why wouldn't Satanism be pro-life? What else is there? We are all free to make choices. Agreeable or not.

Saddle Bags Palisades Pack with Integrated Water Bladder & Five-Point Harness by Ruffwear, Red
Product Description
Ruffwear Palisades Pack With Removable Saddlebag/Integrated Water Bladder:
Available for shipment within the U.S.A. only.
- Three key features set this pack apart from others; removable saddlebags, load compression, and hydration bladders.
- Space efficient saddlebags with lightweight, streamlined, shape
- Weight forward saddlebag design for ideal load carrying position
- Extras like waterproof zippers, high visibility reflective trim, gear loops, aluminum V-ring leash attachment
- Web Master™ Harness frame ensures stability and weight dispersion with a five-point adjustable fit and full range of motion
- Balanced assistance handle helps lift dog up and over obstacles
- Integrated bladders hold 2 liters of water for the long haul
The most important measurement is Girth. Girth is the distance around the body at the widest part of the rib cage. After measuring your dog use the following table to select the appropriate size. The pack's harness should have an all-around snug fit for a stable load and to prevent movement or shifting of the saddlebags. Be sure that each saddlebag has an equal and balanced load.
In-between sizes: Choose the smaller pack for a lighter load and less bulk. Please do not use saddlebag capacity as your only sizing consideration; use the girth fit for best results.
The harness also has a sturdy assistance handle to help lift your dog up and over obstacles. Of course, the integrated hydration system continues to place the Palisades Pack in a class of its own. The pack includes two one liter water bladders that slip inside an interior zip pocket inside each cargo compartment. The long flexible tubing provides quick and easy access to your water when the trail heats up.
The outer shell is made of 500-denier nylon over closed cell foam. The shell and bags are trimmed with high-visibility 3M Scotchlite reflective trim for added safety in low light conditions. The underside is made of a material that is non-chaffing, fur friendly and provides plenty of ventilation. Both belly and chest strap are covered with soft fleece and connect with quick release side buckles. No need to lift your dog's legs up and into harness. Slides on over head and buckles underneath.
Palisades Pack
Integrated Water Bladder
The integrated hydration system is what makes the Palisades Pack unique. Accessed through zippered pockets on the backside of each bag, is a one liter bladder to hold water. Each is capped with a stopper that also seconds as a release valve. The water has several uses:
- Extra weight for exercise
- Ballast weight to prevent uneven loads
- Cushions the contents of the bag on your dog's body
- Cools your dog by drawing heat away from the body
- Provides up to a 2 day supply of fresh water

Don Mauer: Getting the word out on trans fats
When we grocery shopped more than 20 years ago, we relied almost exclusively on food product ingredient lists to divine their nutritional content. Those labels listed ingredients by weight from the most to the least, but standing in a supermarket aisle attempting to quantify that list into something numerically useful required mystical powers or today's Smart Phone.
Just like everyone else, I cheered loudly when nutrition facts began appearing on food labels. Food Facts, although sometimes confusing and moderately ambiguous, made for informed and sometimes easier purchasing decisions.
It's obvious to me that detailed information on calories, fats, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, sugar and sodium should have appeared decades earlier. Better late than never, though.
Seven years ago we took another step forward on those labels with the important inclusion of hydrogenated or trans fat.
How trans fat managed to get the equivalent of a USDA "get-out-of-jail-free" card, valid for more than a decade before that, still mystifies me. I'm not privy to what goes on behind any food manufacturers closed doors, but I'll guess that more than a few breathed a collective sigh of relief when trans fat didn't make the cut on the first food fact label. Trans fat began to appear on all food labels on Jan. 1, 2006.
Goodbye "get-out-of-jail-free" cards.
Most food manufacturers would prefer that you and I make our buying decisions on the look of a food package, or the appearance of food itself, like steaming French fries or a chocolate chip muffin, than its trans fat or calorie content.
It doesn't matter to me if food manufacturer's marketing folks now consume more Pepto Bismal. Shining a bright spotlight on nutrient content, powered by correct information cannot be bad for consumers. However, some food company's bottom lines could have been threatened by trans fat facts, like Krispy Kreme was when it had trans fats in its doughnut dough and frying oil.
Where may trans fat still be found? Almost all margarines could have some, since zero on the label doesn't mean zero in the product. If a product contains less than 0.5 trans fat grams, meaning it could have 0.49 grams, it can say "zero." Most soft tub margarines contain less than solid sticks.
Almost any fried food could have that 0.49 grams of trans fat; as could supermarket made cookies, cakes (double whammy here, both cake and frosting) and muffins; snack foods like chips and crackers; whipped toppings, non-dairy creamers and salad dressings; frozen foods with crusts (like dessert pies, pot pies, and pizza); and last but certainly not least, ramen noodle soups.
I couldn't be more pleased that trans fat now appear on food labels and hope its appearance has pushed some food manufacturers to reduce or eliminate it in its products.
Food fact labels could still be improved, too. An aerosol cooking spray like PAM should not be allowed to use a one-third second burst as a serving size. The USDA rules state that a serving with less than 0.5 gram of any fat can be labeled as "fat free." That one-third second burst shoots out 0.27 grams of fat, thus meeting fat-free labeling requirements.
However, a "real world" one-second burst, delivering about 0.8 fat grams cannot be labeled fat-free. Aerosol cooking sprays make fat and calorie reduction in a food plan easy, there's no need to make it appear to be something it's not.
All serving sizes should be closer to a "real world" standard. A 12-ounce cola serves one, but a 20-ounce cola says it serves 2.5 people. Yeah, "Can I get three straws with my drink, please?"
A little more food fact label realism and it might actually become "really" useful.
The following salad requires minimal effort, yet tastes delicious served on the side with lunch on a hot summer afternoon or a dinner on a warm summer evening.

With New York Comic Con behind us, and BlizzCon in full swing, we here at ComicBooked have plenty of video game news ripe for the picking for this week's edition of Gamer Pulse. But what could possibly be more exciting than Blizzard announcing it's new WoW expansion at the opening ceremonies of it's convention? Well, nothing really, but I do hope that some of the news I've wrangled up for you this week at least comes close. Some of the most fun I have in writing the weekly Gamer Pulse is in deciding what to report on; what will our readers care most about? What was most important this last week? As always, we at ComicBooked love to hear from you. Did I miss something you thought was super awesome? Please; Tell me by commenting below!
Blizzard Loves Us , This We Know
Not being quite off of my World of Warcraft hype just yet, this first tidbit comes straight from the halls of BlizzCon. In order to maintain their already high Warcraft player base, Blizzard is offering an absolutely sweet deal that would come as a no brainer to anyone still playing WoW and loyal to all things Blizzard. For a limited time, those with a full copy of World of Warcraft registered to BattleNet can purchase a 1 year subscription to the game. In return, they will not only receive a beta invite to the next expansion, but will also get a digital copy of Diablo III totally free. Not only that, but you will also get a special mount added to each character you have, or will ever make. The best part of this deal is that you can pay for it as a reoccurring charge of $14.99, which is exactly how much you would be paying to keep up a monthly subscription to WoW in the first place. Keep playing a game I planned to play anyway, and get beta access and Diablo III as an added bonus? Win-win.
Assassin's Creed & The Silver Screen
Video game movies. Love them or hate them, the idea has always been intriguing. At least to me. How to take something that you have an active role and investment in, and change it to something passive; allowing you to sit back, relax and enjoy. What makes video game movies fail as often as they do, and what game would make the best movie? These very questions have been the subject of more conversations than I can count, but I digress. Ubisoft Motion Pictures and Sony are close to working out a deal to begin a film franchise based solely around our Assassin's Creed 'heroes'. This comes at the end of a six month bidding war between Sony and other companies, such as Universal, reports Variety.
So what do you think? Can they take this awesome game and make an awesome movie franchise, or is this doomed to the same failure suffered by so many other games turned movies?
Speaking of…
And while we're on the subject of Assassin's Creed, look who decided to join the ranks of Soul Calibur V's playable characters. None other than him..yes him, Enzio. Namco Bandai officially announced the inclusion of our second favorite Italian protagonist after rumors began to spring up following an image depicting his character in the game. Enzio will be included in the collectors edition of the game, and will have access to, among other things, a crossbow, hidden gun, roman long sword, and a stiletto. Are you looking forward to it?
Strike Packages
The Call of Duty franchise has always been a fan favorite among hard core gamers and insolent 12 year old brats alike, but a video of Modern Warfare 3 depicting a new system of gaming that could change the way multiplayer works in the game has found its way onto the internet. The new dynamic; Strike Packages. Strike packages come in three flavors:
- Assault , for the standard set of offensive kill streaks
- Support, for the less offensive kill streaks (though these won't reset upon death!
- ..and Specialist, which earns no kill streaks , but unlocks perks per every 2 consecutive kills.
And what kind of person would I be if I didn't continue Kyle's tradition of leaving you off on the latest Portal news? Valve has recently announced plans for Portal 2's next round of DLC. The content? An in game editor that will allow players to create and share both single player and co-op levels of their own design. There will also be an option to "vote" on player crafted levels. How awesome is that? In a press release, Valve said that the content is still in its developmental stages. The plan is for it to be released "early next year." Valve stated that the DLC would be available on PC/Mac as well as consoles, but one wonders what this means for the Xbox360, which lacks Steam Support. Are you looking forward to this new DLC?

YotaPhone 2 combines an AMOLED and an e-ink display, but at a hefty price December 3, 2014 at 4:14 pm
The YotaPhone 2 may seem like a relatively standard smartphone running Android 4.4, but it harbors one major twist: it has a second display on the back, and it's no ordinary screen. This oddball device effectively crams a five-inch AMOLED display and a 4.7-inch e-ink display into a single pocket-sized device.
LG's flexible and transparent OLED displays are the beginning of the e-paper revolution July 14, 2014 at 1:07 pm
In 2012 it was a flexible e-ink display. In 2013 it was the slightly flexible OLED display used in the G Flex smartphone. And now in 2014 LG has produced a massive, 18-inch OLED display that can be rolled up into a tight cylinder with a radius of just 3 centimeters (1.2 inches). In addition, LG has also announced an 18-inch OLED display that is highly transparent. By 2017, LG thinks it can combine both of these prototypes to create a 60-inch, UHD (4K) display that is both flexible and transparent. Is the dream of a flexible, fold-up 'e-paper' display finally upon us? Is that the death knell of the printed page that I can hear tolling in the distance?

Researchers at the University of Iowa have discovered a method of converting magnetic data into optical data for free, without external electricity. This is a very big step towards flexible, cheap, throwaway plastic computers, which are gaining in popularity due to society's recent shift towards mobile computing and "quantified self" activity monitors.
OLED finally triumphant: The Galaxy S5 has the best smartphone display on the market March 31, 2014 at 9:44 am
After years of playing second-fiddle to the iPhone, Samsung's OLED displays have taken the leadership position on best overall smartphone display.
IGZO display tech finally makes it to mass market: iPad Air now, high-res desktop display soon November 14, 2013 at 12:36 pm
If you ever wondered how Apple made the iPad Air lighter, thinner, and significantly smaller than its predecessor, here's the answer: IGZO. IGZO, or indium gallium zinc oxide, is the future of high-resolution displays, allowing for significantly higher pixel densities and reducing power consumption. The technology has been on the verge of commercial adoption for years, and now, as with other emerging technologies in the past, Apple will shepherd IGZO to market with the iPad Air.
New OLED tech could make smartphone screens cheaper and more power-efficient November 11, 2013 at 9:07 am
Companies like Samsung and LG have been increasingly relying on OLED display technologies for smartphones, digital cameras, and even TVs. A new type of OLED panel could make screens more energy efficient and cheaper at the same time.
Why curved smartphone screens massively increase image quality, daylight readability October 29, 2013 at 10:49 am
Believe it or not, the curved screen on the Samsung Galaxy Round smartphone isn't just a marketing gimmick: The curvature actually causes a series of optical effects that result in improved contrast, color accuracy, readability, and overall image quality — especially under ambient light that usually makes smartphone screens almost unreadable, such as daylight or fluorescent office lighting.

Maternova is a women-owned, women-run, for-profit social enterprise founded by Allyson Cote and Meg Wirth, currently based in Providence, RI. The company uses its online marketplace, established in 2011, to sell innovative technologies directly to those who can use them to save the lives of mothers and infants in developing countries around the world.
Below, Allyson Cote discusses her company's aspirations and business model, and the emerging competitive landscape in global health care products.
Kyle Poplin: Briefly describe what Maternova does and the global health problems it's solving.
The power of social media powers much of what we do at Maternova. Our Twitter presence with our three handles, @maternova, @Mtnva_Research and @maternovaCBT, has allowed us to connect with midwives, global health experts, social activists and dedicated bloggers from around the world. The same network linked us to work in Benin, Mali and Vietnam on our favorite DIY method.
We have been following PACE-MD with great interest for years now. They focus on Obstetrical First Responders as the first link in the chain of survival in Mexico. We have long believed that the analogy to an EMT might be a better way to get beyond the long-standing disputes over what traditional birth attendants versus midwives versus others, including community health workers, can handle as far as maternal health emergencies. PACE-MD focuses on handling obstetric emergencies starting at the first contact with a health worker.
One of our recent customers was the Traffina Foundation. Like some other groups we so admire, this non-profit was entirely conceived of, developed and run by a female obstetrician from Nigeria. And the funds that finance the non-profit are largely raised from donations by Nigerians. Traffina has created an enhanced birth kit-- the kind we wish we could have waved a wand and created ourselves. The birth kit includes the usual clean razor, cord clamps and plastic sheet but also misoprostol (to prevent postpartum hemorrhage) and chlorhexidine (a new gel for better cord care). Through careful sourcing, research and production the team has already distributed over 6000 birth kits. Demand in Northern Nigeria is immense.
What explains the enormous more than 50 fold difference in maternal mortality rates across this river? Both areas of Tajikistan and Afghanistan are "in geographically contiguous poor, post-conflict, highly conservative, mountainous countries." How can the obstetric risks for women be so different? To continue our review of this fascinating study, we take a closer look at the differences between the Tajik and Afghan sides of the river as reported in the study by Kylea Liese.

Which SSDs are the most reliable? Massive study sheds some light March 12, 2015 at 4:30 pm
18 months and over two petabytes of written data later, Tech Report's SSD write endurance experiment is finally over.
SSD shadiness: Kingston and PNY caught bait-and-switching cheaper components after good reviews June 12, 2014 at 11:31 am
There's an increasing about of evidence to suggest that certain manufacturers are swapping out SSD hardware behind-the-scenes, and that products are suffering from it. It wouldn't be acceptable in other markets, and it's not acceptable here.
This is my rig: Sebastian Anthony August 8, 2013 at 12:28 pm
With each successive microarchitecture release from Intel since I built my Nehalem-based PC at the beginning of 2010, I kept asking myself, "is it time to upgrade?" Sandy Bridge was nice, but it wasn't worth upgrading for a paltry 15% performance boost. Likewise, another 10% from Ivy Bridge just wasn't enough. I had already decided…
This is my rig: ExtremeTech's Sal Cangeloso November 23, 2012 at 11:00 am
Having built my previous desktop in October 2008, I've been long overdue for a new system. I had delayed the build a number of times, usually waiting for the next cool thing in the pipeline — an occupational hazard when you look at technology news all day long — but with the release of Intel's Ivy Bridge and Microsoft's Windows 8, it was clearly time to put together my next PC.
Is overclocking over? December 21, 2011 at 10:00 am
Back in the day overclocking held a deeply magical allure, but it's no longer a necessary just to get a powerful, long-lasting computer. Don't let this fool you though, overclocking still has life left in it.

Seymour family escapes blaze thanks to smoke detectors
Smoke alarms likely saved the lives of a mother and two young children who were napping when a fire started in their home on Happy Valley Road.
Firefighters said the fire broke out in one section of the home and awakened the children, both believed to be under 5 years old, who then woke their mother, Jennifer Johnson.
She got them out of the house quickly before going back inside and trying to fight the fire, but she quickly gave up that effort and called 911, said Kevin Nunn, chief of the Seymour Volunteer Fire Department.
Without the alarms, and the prompt response, the outcome could have been tragic, Nunn said. "The mom and the kids deserve a lot of credit for getting up and getting out."
He cautioned that people shouldn't try to go back into a house once they've evacuated.
"Let the fire department be the one to fight the fire," he said. "I would hate for her to go in there and be overcome by the smoke."
The family declined to talk to The Mountain Press after the fire.
Firefighters weren't able to save the house, but they had other relatives in the area and Nunn said his department also contacted the Knoxville chapter of the American Red Cross to get them additional aid if they need it.
"They were put immediately in the support system of Red Cross, he said. "(Red Cross volunteers) were on scene and with the family by the conclusion."

Correction to Secor
Peak 12851
by Tom Kenney
I looked up Peak 12,851 in Secor's "High Sierra" and was aghast to read that the only reported route on this peak was rated class 1 in difficulty. There are absolutely NO routes up this peak easier than class 3, and the summit block is class 4 at least. This is a very interesting peak, and completing a traverse from east to west (or vice-versa) would be quite a feat, and an exciting climb.
The information provided in these pages is provided by interested volunteers and has not been field checked. R.J. Secor, The Mountaineers, the Sierra Club and climber.org are in no way responsible for the accuracy of any route advice on this web site. Safe climbers must be able to understand the terrain and topography of the area they travel in, and they must make wise route finding choices based their own knowledge, experience and observations.

There are ways to get judgments off of your credit report that are relatively painless -- even if they've become a matter of public record. Here's how.
Want to improve your credit score or need to repair your credit? Here are 11 easy steps that will ultimately save you money.
Too few Americans take advantage of the free look at their credit reports. Here's why you shouldn't wait.
Owning and responsibly using a credit is a simple way to build and maintain a strong credit score, which makes your financial life much easier.
Another financial crisis is looming, with the rise of HELOCs and the disappearance of problems from credit reports, seven years after they occurred.
Seemingly minor issues on your credit report could hurt your credit. Check carefully -- you're among the 73% who actually check your credit report, right?
Your credit score holds a lot of power when it comes to your finances and life. Here are 10 ways to boost your score.
Americans are doing a better job of making timely credit card payments, even as many lenders extend credit to more people with less-than-stellar credit.
Even with recent consumer protections put in place, college student credit cards have some of the highest annual percentage rates in the country.
Data breaches won't stop anytime soon, so now's the time to protect your credit before damage occurs. Here are some strategies to maintain your good name.
One of the most important subjects you'll ever study -- in the college classroom or in the school of hard knocks -- could be personal finance.
Your FICO score will no longer include failures to pay bills if the issue has been resolved, and unpaid medical bills will have a reduced impact.
Delinquent debt is rampant among Americans, a new report finds, and some consumers don't even know that they're behind in payments and hurting their credit.
My credit score dropped 30 points even though I was doing everything I was supposed to. But it's what I wasn't doing that hurt me.
Even if you're vigilant about paying bills, a delinquent debt could be dragging down your credit score. Here's what you should know.
People who use both business and personal credit cards should know that business credit cards behave in ways you may consider detrimental.
Acquiring -- and wisely using -- a credit card will help set college students up for a healthy financial future.
A Houston debt collector is fined $4 million for allegedly using false and deceptive collection practices. The company can't pay. What's the lesson here?
A consumer is exasperated because when she closed a Kohl's account months ago, the rep marked her deceased - and Experian has been slow to fix the problem.
To follow her success, learn how to overcome seven myths about credit scores and credit card debt. The truth will free you of the shackles of high interest.
Mississippi has sued credit reporting giant Experian, alleging sweeping errors in the company's data and routine violations of consumer protection laws.
Closing your credit cards, whether old or new, could affect your credit score, so it's not a decision to be made lightly.
Given all the myths surrounding credit scores, it's no wonder there's also some confusion about just what can help or hurt a score. Here are the facts.
Strategies to build credit include becoming an authorized user on someone else's credit card, acquiring a secured credit card or paying off student loans.
You don't have to pay your credit cards off to boost your credit score. But you do need to come up with a plan for paying down your credit card balances.
Even if you're able to achieve a perfect credit score, there's no guarantee the high number will stick around or that you will be able to reach it again.
Despite the combined efforts of personal finance experts, financial bloggers and news sites to educate consumers, some credit myths still refuse to die.
On-time rent payments are not included in your credit score, but late payments are. That said, renters need to build -- and use -- a great credit score.
You've done all the right things in teaching your young adult how to handle her finances, but it may still come as a shock to see her credit score come back higher than yours.

This is a season of sharing, love and peace. A time when you can feel tranquility in the air. And also a very good time to give gifts and recognition to our friends, loved ones and those with whom we share everyday moments as our teammates. At Arenas Del Mar there were many forms of celebrating for the Navidad, different activities such as gifts for the children from the teams, and various acts to thank and share with all within this big family. The Food and Beverage Department did something very creative: They placed small bags with the names of the team members and a small message on their office door. They could each put something different in the bags every day (and find something different as well), such as chocolates, candy, notes, etc.
Recognizing Excellence
On Sunday December 19th, the staff at Arenas Del Mar gave Fabian Palma, General Manager at the hotel, a recognition for his great labor, professionalism, humility and comprehension throughout the year. It was a big tree where each leaf is an excellence leaf (a program established at the Cayuga hotels to praise excellence in service, attitude, motivation, etc.). Each leaf was filled in with messages from the different Departments at the hotel.

Celebrating Success!16 Nov 2011, by Made By Survivors Programs in
This month witnessed the first anniversary of Made By Survivors Jewelry Program with Rescue Foundation, Boisar, India. I was fortunate to be there to celebrate it with the girls at the shelter home. Tanya Lee, student of University of Geulph, Canada has come to India with her project/research on Rural Development. The first level of the research is to take interviews of the girls pertaining to their lives, their dreams, their goals in life and the jewelry program after which she could evaluate the impact of the program on their lives. I escorted her to the shelter home in Boisar by the end of October where we celebrated the anniversary on the 2nd of November.
The girls are busy working on the production of the Autumn Fall line and they have a deadline to meet so we decided to celebrate it only after the classes. With the help of one of the sports teacher at the shelter home, I managed to get a cake and some chocolates for the girls. The housemother and the sports teachers joined in as Tasleema, the supervisor of the Jewelry Program and I cut the cake together. All the other girls applauded and sang 'Happy Birthday Made By Survivors' together. It was followed by photo sessions and lots of chitchats. Tanya showed the girls photos of her home and her friends and talked to them about her life and dream as well. The girls were all chirpy and excited and proud that they have successfully completed a year in the Program. We were bestowed with wishes from Sarah Symons, John Berger, Paul Suit and Dianna Badalament. The girls missed Dianna as they remembered how she has taught them the skill of metal smithing with so much of care and attention and whatever positive changes they have undergone in the last one year, is because of her. They all are grateful and indebted to her to have spent so much of time with them and for becoming the source of inspiration to each one of them.
What caught my attention were the other girls who are not involved in the MAde by Survivors Program, grouped together, away from the studio to see us celebrating. I felt bad for them as I couldn't afford to include all the girls in the shelter home in the celebration. But some of the girls wished and rejoiced with us. The others preferred watching us from afar. It was quite obvious the very next day when I went to take their classes; I was approached by 20 girls who wanted to join the program right then. They have noticed the satisfaction in their mates who have built up hope to lead a normal life and are looking forward to have a career out of Jewellery making. Their interest to join the program and have a better life defines the success of Made By Survivors and we hope that in due course of time we can make all their dreams come true.

What social and economic problems sparked the Progressive Era and how did Progressives think the government could help them?
In your answer, please reference consumer protection, trusts, workplace reform and political reform.
Thank you very much!!
1 Answer | Add Yours
In answering this question, you should look to the things that you are asked to mention (consumer protection, etc.) in your answer. If those are the things that the Progressives wanted to implement, then they must be closely related to the social and economic problems that the Progressives perceived.
In general, the Progressives felt that the rich business elites had too much control over the economy and over the government. They felt that the rich were using this control to abuse the workers and the middle class. They felt that the rich were willing to produce and sell impure foods and drugs. They felt that the rich were willing to force workers to work in poor working conditions for low pay. They felt that the rich used their power and their wealth to influence government officials into voting in certain ways. For these reasons, they wanted things like consumer protection, laws against monopolies, reform of conditions in the workplace, and political reforms.
In other words, the Progressives felt that the rich had too much power and were using that power to abuse everyone else in society. This was both an economic problem and a social one. The Progressives felt that the government should use its power to make laws that would prevent the rich from using their power in abusive ways.

225g chilli peppers (I used small green Thai/finger chillies but any would work - you can de-seed them if you want but I did not as wanted the extra heat)
400g red/bell pepper - cleaned, deseeded and roughly chopped
600g onion - chopped
400g tin chopped tomatoes
1.5kg sugar
750ml white/red wine vinegar (cider vinegar is also good)
50g ginger
1 head garlic - cloves peeled
1 tbs sea salt
preparation time: 20 minutes
cooking time: 45-60 minutes (depending on pan size/heat)
Step 1: Prepare your veg
- clean your peppers and chillies well and destalk the chillies - you may want to wear rubber gloves while doing this to protect your hands - and remember don't touch any sensitive body parts after handling chillies!!!!!!
- add the cleaned and prepared chillies, peppers, onions, garlic and ginger to a large pan with the vinegar and salt and blend with a hand blender (or in an electric blender before putting in the pan if you don't have one) until well mixed together - keep your eyes out of the way as any splashes would be very painful!
Step 2: Boil the jam
- add the sugar, stir with a wooden spoon and bring to a rolling boil for about 45-60 minutes until thickened and the wooden spoon leaves a trail when stirred in the bottom on the pan
- skim off any 'scum' that rises to the surface
