TALLAHASSEE, FL- No. 4 Florida (26-7) rallied from a 3-0 deficit with six unanswered runs to defeat No. 1 Florida State (27-6) on Tuesday night, 6-3, to complete a three-game sweep of the regular-season series between the Sunshine State rivals at sold-out Dick Howser Stadium. It marked the 15th come-from-behind effort of the year for head coach Kevin O'Sullivan's club. The Gators had previously emerged victorious against the Seminoles in Gainesville on March 13 (9-2) and in Jacksonville on March 27 (4-1).
The Orange and Blue had not taken all of the regular-season meetings from the Seminoles since 1958 (a pair of wins in Gainesville on April 11-12 that season), notched its first victory over the nation's top-ranked team since a 5-4 triumph over FSU on April 18, 2007, and picked up its first win in Tallahassee since April 14, 2009 (10-2). In addition, Florida swept both Florida State and Miami (Fla.) in the same season for the first time in school history. The crowd of 6,730 fans at Dick Howser Stadium was the fourth-largest in the facility's history and the second-most for a UF-FSU game.
Freshman right-hander Ryan Harris (Jupiter, Fla.) (1-0) retired all nine batters he faced over a career-high three innings to pick up his first collegiate win, freshman Casey Turgeon (Palm Harbor, Fla.) (3-for-5) snapped a 3-3 tie with a bases-loaded single in the sixth and the Gator bullpen fired six shutout innings with seven strikeouts and one hit. Junior Austin Maddox (Jacksonville, Fla.) set down all five Seminoles he faced and had two strikeouts over 1.2 innings to register his ninth save. Junior Mike Zunino (Cape Coral, Fla.) (2-for-5) belted a game-tying homer in the fifth, while juniors Nolan Fontana (Winter Garden, Fla.) (2-for-3, three runs) and Brian Johnson (Cocoa Beach, Fla.) (2-for-5) slugged solo shots as part of a 12-hit offensive attack.
Junior Devon Travis (3-for-4) gave the Seminoles a quick lead in the first inning with a one-out solo shot off Johnson to straightaway center field. It was his third big fly of the year. Senior James Ramsey (2-for-4) followed with an infield single and junior Jayce Boyd singled up the middle before a fly ball to center field by redshirt sophomore Stephen McGee left runners on the corners with two down. Johnson caught junior Justin Gonzalez looking on strikes to escape the jam.
The Gators had three hits in the second inning and loaded the bases against junior Scott Sitz but were unable to score. Senior Preston Tucker (Tampa, Fla.) led off with a single into right field and Johnson had an infield hit to put the visitors in business. Tucker was thrown out at third base on a sacrifice attempt by freshman Taylor Gushue (Boca Raton, Fla.) for the first out and Fontana laced a single into left field to load the bases. A fielder's choice by junior Vickash Ramjit (Miami, Fla.) forced Johnson at home for the second out and junior Cody Dent (Boynton Beach, Fla.) lined out to first base to end the inning.
Although Florida filled the bags with one down in the third inning, it was kept off the board. Senior Daniel Pigott (Ormond Beach, Fla.) (2-for-4) led off with an infield single and went to third on Zunino's team-leading 13th double of the year to the left-field fence. The Seminoles elected to walk Tucker intentionally and the move paid off when Johnson's comebacker to Sitz forced Pigott at home and Gushue popped up in foul territory.
The Seminoles increased their lead to 3-0 in the home part of the inning on two hits and an error. Travis and Ramsey had consecutive singles to begin the frame and Johnson fanned Boyd for the first out. The Seminoles then executed a double steal, with Travis taking third and Ramsey swiping second. An errant relay throw down to second base by Zunino allowed Travis to come across and Ramsey to occupy third. McGee lofted a sacrifice fly into left field to drive in Ramsey for a three-run margin.
UF got on the board on a two-out RBI single by Pigott in the fourth. Fontana had a 10-pitch at bat and drew a leadoff walk, Ramjit had an infield fly to the shortstop and Fontana moved into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt by Dent. Pigott delivered a base-hit into right field to bring home Fontana with the Gators' first run.
Harris replaced Johnson (3.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER) prior to FSU's fourth and worked a 1-2-3 inning with a trio of groundouts.
Zunino tied the game in the fifth with a towering two-run homer off the scoreboard overlooking left field. Turgeon started the inning with a single into center field and Zunino connected on his team-leading 10th dinger to even the score at 3-3. It was his first homer since March 24 at South Carolina.
The Gators seized a 4-3 advantage in the sixth on an RBI single by Turgeon but left the bases full. Freshman Kyle Bird (0-1) replaced Sitz (5.0 IP, 8 H, 3 R) at the beginning of the stanza and issued a leadoff walk to Fontana. A fielding error by Boyd at first base enabled Ramjit to reach and Fontana to take second. Dent greeted senior reliever Brian Busch with a sacrifice bunt that moved both of his teammates into scoring position and FSU decided to walk Pigott intentionally to load the bases with one down. The move backfired when Turgeon lined a single into left field to score Fontana for a 4-3 lead for the visitors. Freshman Luke Weaver came in from the bullpen and struck out Zunino and had Tucker pop up to the shortstop to strand the runners.
Fontana provided Florida with a 5-3 lead by belting his seventh homer to right field with two down in the seventh. It marked his second-straight outing with a round-tripper after clubbing a three-run jack on Saturday against LSU.
After Harris threw a career-high three innings by setting down all nine hitters he faced, junior Steven Rodriguez (Miami, Fla.) notched three-straight strikeouts, freshman Giovanny Alfonzo looking, freshman Josh Delph swinging and Johnson looking, to preserve the Gators' two-run lead.
UF's pitching staff had retired 13 Seminoles in a row before Travis started the eighth with a double into right field. Rodriguez answered with a strikeout of Ramsey and Maddox was summoned from the bullpen. The righty retired Boyd on in infield fly and had McGee ground out.
Johnson finalized the scoring at 6-3 in the ninth with the first homer allowed by junior Robert Benincasa all season. The blast to right field was the third of the campaign for Johnson. Maddox closed out the Seminoles with a perfect ninth that featured a pair of punchouts. The Gators held a 12-7 advantage in hits, including four for extra bases.
This Florida-Florida State baseball game was part of the Fresh from Florida Sunshine Showdown Series. Presented by Fresh from Florida, its goal is to remind all fans of the importance of buying home grown and harvested products from Florida. It supports our state's farmers and fishermen, and our local economies.
Florida resumes SEC action this weekend with a series at Eastern Division rival Tennessee (20-12/6-6 SEC). Game one from Lindsey Nelson Stadium on Friday will be at 6 p.m.

Miami Dolphins DE Jared Odrick addresses Penn State scandal
Jared Odrick said he hasn't communicated with Joe Paterno since the coaching legend was dismissed last week in the wake of the Penn State sex abuse scandal, but plans to contact his college coach "eventually."
Odrick has had a "tough week," one teammate said Sunday, so extending his sack streak to three games in the Miami Dolphins' 20-9 win over the Redskins on Sunday brought a much-needed smile to his face.
How tough was this week for Odrick, who along with Dolphins linebacker Cameron Wake is a product of one of college football's storied programs?
"It's tough,"said Odrick, the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in 2009. "It's unfortunate what's going on up there, but we're on the mend. Our heart goes out to the victims and also to those it affects negatively who don't deserve to be affected, like the players and obviously the families and victims, but also the university, too.
"A lot of people didn't have any involvement in that, and now people want to try to tarnish something that's too good to be tarnished. A lot of Penn Staters believe in that school, and so do I. Things are going to get resolved up there and things will get back to normal soon enough."

GLH began as a reptile breeding facility in 1997. We started using hornworms in the middle of 2004 to increase the variety of feeders we were offering our animals. It didn't take long before we noticed the added benefits of feeding hornworms. Our animals were able to sustain and even gain weight during the breeding season, recovered faster after laying eggs, and were not taxed as hard from the breeding season. After experimenting with different rearing conditions and diet formulations, Great Lakes Hornworm was able to produce hornworms on a consistent basis. Since the beginning, we have added different insect species and supplies to meet our customer's needs. Whether you need reptile food, fishing bait or research insects we are here to meet your needs.

Baby Ripley In Power Loader Halloween Costume
This is a friend of Redditor rdt156 showing of he and his daughter's Halloween costume -- a power loader from Aliens, with the little girl acting as a miniature Ripley. That's pretty clever incorporating both an adult and baby costume into one. You know, that way you don't have to leave your kid at home under a laundry basket while you go trick-or-treating. PLUS DOUBLE CANDY. Speaking of -- any of you parents wanna let me borrow your kids on Wednesday? I need like twelve of them. I'm gonna be a dog sled musher.
Hit the jump for a short video of the costume in action.
Thanks to my buddy Terry, who doesn't power load anything except food into his gut. You need to stop, bro. It makes me sad watching you do this to yourself.


text: Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to have multiple VNC sessions open - all in one window - or on the screen. I know that you can log in to various sessions at the same time - however I don't want to minimize one window and open another. I would like to be able to see multiple sessions all open at the same time on the screen in one window - and then be able to choose which one I want to go into. This would be useful if I wanted to monitor updates on various desktops visually so that I can see which one has finished and needs some attention etc... Does realvnc allow for this to happen? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thanks very much. Ernest

Introduction: Fatima Jinnah Medical College FJMC Lahore Page 1
In 1946 the family of Sir Ganga Ram started a medical college by the name Balak Ram medical College named after a son of Sir Ganga Ram. Soon after claiming independence in 1947 which engulfed this part of the sub-continent as well, the college which was in its infancy stood virtually closed ad its premises were abandoned. However, the renowned medical professional Prof. Shujaat Ali with the help and assistance of his other professional colleagues nurtured the idea of setting up a medical institution for producing female doctors and train them for helping in the health care of the women folk of this newly established country. It was especially felt that, by virtue of cultural and social set up of a Muslim society it was a much needed requirement of the time.
With this laudable objective in view the team of Prof. Shujaat Ali moved for obtaining the approval of Quaid-i-Azam for giving the institution name after the name of his sister Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah. The Quaid bery graciously approved the name of this institution to be associated with his sister Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah and FATIMA JINNAH MEDICAL COLLEGE FOR WOMEN LAHORE admitted its first batch of 39 students in Oct. 1948 and was then formally inaugurated on 31.03.1949 by Khawaja Nazim-ud-Din, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan. It was indeed a great occasion for the nation as the first women medical institution came into being in the country.
Fatima Jinnah Medical College admits now 250 students every year. 50% seats are reserved for Federal Govt. and in these seats students from Sindh, NWFP, Balochistan, FATA, PATA, AJK & Northern Areas are admitted,23 seats are reserved as PTAP (Pakistan Technical Assistance Programme) for the friendly and Islamic countries and at the moment we have 157 foreign students from 27 countries. FJMC is serving as very strong bond and nucleus between all the provinces, including AJK & also many friendly and Islamic countries. During the last 58 years, 7500 doctors have graduated from here. Besides this a large number of specialists in the fields of medicine, surgery, obst / gynae, ophthalmology and basic sciences have been trained. At the moment we have 130 post-graduates in barious disciplines at various stages of their post-graduation.
Prof. Dr. M. Akbar Chaudhry, Professor & Head of Medicine is Principal of Fatima Jinnah Medical College & Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. He is Fellow of Royal College of Physicians of London and Edinburgh & Fellow of American College of Cardiology. He is also Fellow of Pakistan Academy of Medical Sciences and International Advisor to Royal College of London. Recently he has been appointed as Honorary Advisor to Emro Region Member of Task Force of Influenza, Pandemics by WHO. In view of his extreme academic disposition and exposure to medical field in the world he has brought many innovative changes in the college and medical education. College laboratories have been updated and equipped with latest medical equipments. A lot of medical equipment is being processed to bring this institute to a world class teaching institution. All lecture theatres and seminar room have been equipped with multi-media. 60 new computers have been provided to the professors and faculty members for teaching and research work.
College Library has been updated and with addition of electronic library. 12500 medical journals are available free on line with abstracts as well as full text with the help of H.E.C. Networking of all departments of college and hospital is being planned with linkages to other national and international universities. There is free internet facility in Library.

Deanna from It's Just Me was given this chest of drawers by a friend. It looked great when she saw it in the photo but little did she know it had a few skeletons in its closet. Or should I say exoskeletons since the dresser was filled with TONS of yucky creepy crawlers.
It took hours of cleaning to even get this baby ready for her makeover. Then came the stripping, sanding, painting, and glazing! Deanna says, "This piece took me about 42 hours of HARD work but was worth every minute."

Reviews for Baked Pork Chops and Apples
"My kids don't like raisins so I omitted those, but the recipe was still good. It's a nice change of pace from my usual pork chops with cream gravy that I normally cook."
"Very good! I made this with three pork chops and three apples."
"The best pork chops I ever cooked!"
"I already had some baked pork chops so I thought it would be dry but was really surprised with the outcome. The juice and flavor from the apples and seasonings under the pork were greatly incorporated to the meat and it wasn't dry at all. I'll make it again soon."
"Made this tonight, adding a can of unsweetened apple sauce to the mixture for the topping. OMG...the chops were cut-with-a-fork tender and the apple topping was to die for! Definately a keeper!!!"

Refugees build an American life, part ll
December 16, 2010 by The IRC
NBC affiliate WVIR-TV in Charlottesville, Virginia, has launched a decade-long project looking at the evolution of three refugee families as they build their American life. The families -- the Bwisezes from Tanzania, the al Malhams from Iraq, and the Bhandaris from Nepal -- were all resettled by the International Rescue Committee.
Getting young refugees enrolled in school and involved in their new communities is a top priority for the IRC. In part ll of WVIR-TV's series, you'll meet three children from these families as they tackle the English language and build their confidence in Charlottesville classrooms:
Fifth-grader Rabina Bhandari, who says her favorite subject is science, is in class with one other girl who is also from Nepal. "It's good for me because I can speak Nepali to them," Rabina says.
Adnan al Malham is in sixth grade and on a swim team. "I was nervous first because I thought I couldn't swim," Adnan says. "Then they teach me and now I can swim."
Samuel Bwiseze is also adjusting to sixth grade. "We learn English and nobody laughs at each other," Samuel explains. "I feel so happy," he says. "I promise I'm going to teach my mommy."
You can watch the video at NBC29.com and get a preview of all the stories that have aired in the series here.

Could Linux Change Democracy?
Deb Gage at the San Francisco Chronicle recently profiled a voting machine that will be given a tryout at a mock election at Linux World, opening today. Attendees of the conference will have the ability to cast their vote for one of the two candidates on the US presidential ticket. Besides obvious political fervor of many open source devotees, what's the connection between this machine and Linux?
Dechert and a couple of colleagues founded the Open Voting Consortium, a nonprofit group dedicated to delivering "trustable and open voting systems." In addition to lobbying against proprietary voting machines, they have spent the last several years working with scientists and engineers around the world to design and build a voting machine of their own.
Probably many of you have heard of the Diebold voting machines that were designed for use in elections in this country. They are closed and proprietary systems, and because of that, have serious security vulnerabilities that could result in election tampering. Besides security risks (as if there needs to be anything else), these closed systems are also extremely expensive, and just like with proprietary software, are designed to lock you in. Once election officials start using these machines they are beholden to that vendor unless they decide to phase them out. Because they are closed and opaque, no one but the vendors can work on the machines. Take in contrast, these new Linux-based machines:
At a price of about $400, the new voting machine is a tenth of the cost of proprietary machines - less if made in quantity, Dechert said - because it's simply designed and based on free software. Its workings are transparent, he said, unlike some of the electronic voting machines that California decertified for security problems.
What would you rather your government spend your tax money on?
These Linux machines started me thinking about the ideals behind Linux (and open source) and how they could be put to work within the workings of government. The ideals I'm referring to are its process: transparency, accountability and meritocracy based on contributions. Last year I was quoted in an article about Open Legislation. What if our government officials drafted laws on a wiki (like the one powering Wikipedia or the Linux Foundation site). There you could see who actually wrote pieces of the legislation. You could see that a lobbyist from Chevron actually drafted part of the energy bill and then track that your representative "signed off" and then voted for it.
Or as Peter Leyden, director of the New Politics Institute, said in Open Legislation article:
"Laws go through all kinds of markups, changes and amendments," Leyden said. "The process has evolved from making those changes on parchment to at least using word-processing documents, but it's not that big a step to think of moving to the next generation of tools and crafting a whole piece of legislation on a wiki."
The next likely step would be opening up the process further so that citizens could view and comment upon legislation in the works, or even — along the lines of California state Senator Joe Simitian's concept in his "There Oughta Be a Law" contest — submit their own ideas, Leyden added.
We have the tools now for collaborative development: this has been proven in software and editorial content. Now let's see if we can prove it with legislation. Collaborative, transparent development produces better software (and better voting machines). I think it can also produce better government.

This morning, Twitch.tv is pushing out an update to their Android app that will finally allow users to log into their accounts which will give them much easier access to their personal favorite streams. Unfortunately, the list is still limited to the top 300 live streaming channels.
A search feature and a chat function are both still missing from the app, but community manager Jared Rea has mentioned that chat and search features for the app are in the works and will be released at some point in the future. While that sounds promising, you need to keep in mind that until three months ago, the app went an entire year without an update. However, the recent launch of the OUYA is being seen as "another incentive" to push development forward on the app.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to differentiate septic from non-septic arthritis by measuring lactate concentration with (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HMRS) and by estimating total protein content with the assessment of T (2) values. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 30 patients with acute arthritis, synovial fluid was aspirated. Lactate concentrations were analyzed with single voxel HMRS at 1.5 T. T (2) relaxation times were mapped with a multi-spin echo sequence. All samples underwent microbiological testing and routine laboratory analysis to quantify lactate concentration and total protein content. Values obtained in septic and non-septic arthritis were compared with a Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: Synovial fluid from patients with septic arthritis (n = 10) had higher concentrations of lactate (11.4 +/- 4.0 mmol/L) and higher total protein content (51.8 +/- 10.7 g/L) than fluid obtained in non-septic arthritis (n = 20; 5.2 +/- 1.1 mmol/L and 40.4 +/- 6.9 g/L, respectively, p < 0.001 and <0.01, respectively). Measured lactate concentrations and T (2) relaxation times (as an indicator of total protein content) were moderately correlated to laboratory-confirmed lactate concentration (r (2) = 0.71) and total protein content (r (2) = 0.73). Markedly increased lactate concentrations (>6 mmol/L) in combination with low T (2) values (<550 ms) identify septic arthritis with a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 89%. CONCLUSION: Spectroscopic measurements of lactate concentration in combination with the estimation of protein content using T (2) may be of value in the differentiation of septic from non-septic arthritis.

On this day...
by Kate Smith
safc.com looks back on what happened on this day in Sunderland's history.
2010 - Sunderland collected a point against Manchester United after a goalless draw at the Stadium of Light. A delayed kick-off due to a burst water pipe didn't hinder the home side with the best chance of the game falling to Steed Malbranque, who was inches away from securing Sunderland's first league win over United since 1997.
1999 – Sunderland soared to second in the Premier League after sealing a 4-0 win over Bradford City at Valley Parade. Kevin Phillips nabbed a brace in the win, which took his tally for the season to 10 goals in 10 league games.

American Joss Christensen lead Team USA on Thursday for a medal sweep at the Olympic podium. The Olympic slopestyle skiing finish had Joss Christensen, Gus Kenworthy and Nick Goepper, all of Team USA, sweep in a 1-2-3 finish. According to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, this is only the third time this has ever happened for American athletes in Winter Game history. The guys were all smiles when accepting their awards on the podium and three United States flags were seen as the country colors rose on the flagpoles.
While Joss Christensen definitely had to be excited for his win, he also was a bit sad. After losing his father in August the idea that his biggest supporter couldn't be in the crowd watching had to be difficult. Christensen dedicated the medal win to his father and fans couldn't be happier that he remembered someone so close to his career.
Olympic slopestyle skiing was fairly competitive, even if it was just Team USA picking up the hardware. While the guys are close, they find that the friendship outside at the competitions help them focus. Rosa Khutor Extreme Park is just another place for the team to come together and perform. Supporting each other and offering their best tricks seems to have made a solid team that is full of winners.
Take a look at the photo slideshow of Joss Christensen on Thursday on his gold winning moment. His run offers some amazing pictures.

At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil a number of National Teams will be playing what may be the final major tournament with their current generation of stars. For Spain, Germany, and Argentina at the top level, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Portugal, Italy, and France, at the next level down, and Ecuador, Croatia, Ivory Coast, Belgium, England, and USA at the third level, this summer may be their teams' last hurrahs. In an eight-part series, we analyze what the cup means to these teams and what their aspirations and chances may be next summer. Today we review USA and France.
FIFA Rank: 16, Coach: Didier Deschamps, Group D: with seeded Switzerland, Honduras and Ecuador. Odds of winning cup: 20-1 (ahead of Portugal Italy, and England, for instance).
FIFA World Cup history--appearances (13): Champions at home in 1998, runners up in 2006, third place in 1958 and 1986, fourth in 1982, quarterfinals in 1938, and eliminated in the group stage in 1930, 1934, 1954, 1966, 1978, 2002, and 2010.
How they qualified for 2014: Second in UEFA Group I with 17 points, 5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, 15 goals in favor and 6 goals against. Then a playoff against Ukraine where they lost 0-2 in Kiev and then came back to win 3-0 in Paris.
France has had a storied if star-crossed World Cup trajectory. French striker Just Fontaine scored 13 goals in the 1958 cup, a feat no one has equaled. It took Gerd Muller and Miroslav Klose three tournaments each to reach 14 and Ronaldo three to reach the current record of 15. Klose has a chance to break the record if he makes the 2014 German squad.
France's World Cup pinnacle was winning a convoluted trophy at home in 1998. They began with the easiest group of the cup, beating Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Denmark, and then needed extra time to beat Paraguay 1-0 and penalties to beat Italy, by one penalty, after the teams had tied 0-0 a.e.t. In the semi-finals it was defender Lilian Thuram's unlikely brace that saw them come back to beat Croatia 2-1. In the finals the home team benefited from Brazilian star Ronaldo's infamous convulsions, which had him hospitalized the night before the game, turned him into a zombie throughout the game, and turned his sleepless teammates into slow-motion dummies.
The following cup, 2002, France came in last in their group losing to Denmark and Senegal and drawing with Uruguay. In 2006 they made it out of the group stage by one point thanks to a 2-0 victory over Togo, before turning it up several gears to beat Spain 3-1, and Brazil and Portugal 1-0 each with Zinadine Zidane playing his inspirational swan song cup. In the final, France lost to Italy on penalties, mostly thanks to the infamous head butt that earned Zidane his red card.
On France's current expanded squad are six players who might make it to Russia in 2018, 14 players who will be into their thirties in 2018, and five players who will probably retire soon after the Brazilian cup. Among the generation that Les Bleus will be bringing to Brazil 2014 are: captain Hugo Lloris, the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper; in defense Manchester United's Patrice Evra, Arsenal's Barcary Sagna, and Monaco's Eric Abidal; in midfield Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, Marseille's Mathieu Balbuena, PSG's Blaise Matuidi, Manchester City's Samir Nasri, and Liverpool's Mamadou Sakho, and at striker Real Madrid's Karim Benzema and Arsenal's Olivier Giroud.
France scheduled four home field friendlies leading up to the World Cup this summer. They beat the Netherlands 2-0 in March and will later play Norway, Paraguay and Jamaica. Les Bleus will be staying in Ribeirao Preto for the cup, and will fly 3.25 hours south to Porto Alegre, 4 hours north to Salvador, and one hour and 40 minutes east to Rio de Janeiro for their three group games. Thereafter they will play in either Brasilia or Sao Paulo for their Group of 16 match.
In recent interviews with FourFourTwo and UEFA.com French coach Didier Deschamps assessed his team's chances and their trajectory to Brazil. "We are 16th in the FIFA rankings, [made it to] the quarterfinals in the last EURO, losing to eventual champions Spain. Our last good World Cup result was in 2006, but generations are changing and with many young players coming in with a lot of skill we have a chance.
"[Our draw] could have been more complicated, let's be honest. We'll have our Swiss neighbors, one South American team and Honduras playing a similar style. [Our] first game is against Honduras, it's the most important one, winning it would put us in the best position. No opponent is easy, we need to be ambitious but reasonable. Before and after the draw our objective is the same: round of 16. But, yes, we will need to prove ourselves at the World Cup this summer."
At Brazil, in Group E, France will have tough competition from seeded Switzerland and will be surprised if Deschemps comments are indicative of underestimating the challenge Ecuador will pose. Their game against Honduras will indeed determine if they will move on from group play.
Prediction: France are on a roll and it will continue in Brazil. They will make it out of their group, but will then most probably face either Argentina or Nigeria. They will conclude their Brazilian journey at the Group of 16 if it is the Albicelestes they face and they will have an even chance to move on if it is Nigeria. But if they beat Nigeria they will most likely meet Germany and that will be the end. This generation will live up to some very realistic expectations, and their fans will have more to look forward to in 2018.
FIFA Rank: 14, Coach: Jurgen Klinsmann, Group D: with Germany, Portugal and Ghana. Odds of winning cup: 100-1.
FIFA World Cup history--appearances (9): Came in third in the first World Cup, 1930, then were eliminated in the quarterfinals in 2002, eliminated in the Round of 16 in 1994 and 2010, and they were eliminated at the group stage in 1934, 1950, 1990, 1998, and 2006.
How they qualified for 2014: Top of Group A in the third round of CONCACAF qualification, then top of the Fourth Round with 22 points, 7 wins, 1 draws, 2 losses, 15 goals in favor and 8 goals against. Notably, they scored the last-minutes-of-the-last-qualification-game goals against Panama that allowed their arch-rivals, Mexico, a chance to qualify.
The U.S. is the ripest untapped market in world football, yet one of the hardest to bring to full maturity. With over three million youth players and a growing domestic league (MLS) the country has yet to fully realize the promise of its potential. But, it is reaching the strongest organizational stance it has ever achieved and it retains on its current national team some of the best players it has ever produced.
The U.S. Soccer Federation has been steadily building an infrastructure that has so far yielded a strong national youth development strategy, the credibility to attract and recruit a world-level coach in former German National Team coach, and standout player, Klinsmann, and they are enjoying a period with the greatest number of USA players playing abroad. But the nation has yet to produce a generation of players able to compete at the highest levels of the sport for any sustained length of time.
What the USA has routinely produced is a bevy of uneven performances with a few outstanding ones sprinkled in. For glimpse of what their best looks like, one need only recall the USA's showing at the Confederations Cup 2009 where their electrifying play saw them reach the final, yet their naiveté saw them pull ahead 2-0 at half-time against Brazil only to lose the trophy 3-2 by allowing three unanswered scores in one half. For a glimpse of what the team does when it does not focus enough to play to its potential, see the USA's March 5th game against Ukraine.
The USA in 2014 has a waning generation of great home-grown stars, many of whom have surpassed the expectations anyone could have had for them. But this is unquestionably the last hurrah for the group. Of the nearly two dozen players Klinsmann called up for last month's game against Mexico, nine were in their thirties and another five where in their late twenties. None of the former will likely be around in 2018 and few of the latter will be.
Among the stalwarts the USA National Team squad has used in the past and my count with are: Everton's Tim Howard in goal; Puebla's Damarcus Beasley, Birmingham City's Jonathan Spector, Sheffield Wednesday's Oguchi Onyewu, and San Jose Earthquakes' Clarence Goodson in defense; at midfield, ex-Roma and current Torono FC's Michael Bradley, LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan, Philadelphia Union's Maurice Edu, and Houston Dynamo's Brad Davis; and at striker, Seattle Sounders FC's Clint Dempsey, DC United's Eddie Johnson, San Jose Earthquakes' Chris Wondolowski, and Sunderland's Jozy Altidore.
Last year the team compiled a 16W-4L-3D record against all opposition and this year they are at 1-1-1, beating South Korea 2-0 and drawing with Mexico 2-2 at home, and losing to Ukraine 2-0, away. The team has scheduled three home, pre-cup preparatory friendlies against Azerbaijan, Turkey and Nigeria, and a closed warm-up session against Belgium June 12th, leading up to their critical June 16th match-up against Ghana in Natal, Brazil.
Team USA will be staying in Sao Paulo during the cup and flying 3.25 hours to Natal, 3.75 hours to Manaus and 3.25 hours to Recife. The choice of camp, given the distance from the three opening match venues, is strange, particularly since Klinsmann has previously taken his team for warm-ups in the host nation. Perhaps the locale's distance from the venues is intended to provide a more stress-free environment.
The USA's coach has been confident, cautious, sometimes direct, and yet optimistic of his team's chances at the World Cup. His original feelings were very positive as the potential for an easy or even-strength group in Brazil outnumbered the negative alternative of a group of death. But even now that the group is known, even though he has tempered his perspective, he has not changed his belief the team can progress.
Speaking to NBC Sports Network late last year, before the group composition was known, Klinsmann said: "You've got to be realistic, I mean, I think we have the potential, obviously like in the past, to get out of the group stage. It all depends on the members of the group. In our recent friendlies we showed we can compete, so why not in the World Cup?"
Speaking to fans on-line earlier this year, Klinsmann said: "We basically start with a World Cup final against Ghana. We need badly these three points. If we get three points against Ghana, I think then that the confidence will rise, the guys will be pumped up, and they will be ready for Portugal and give them a real fight. We go into camp, middle of May, to prepare for this game in the sharpest and most intense way possible. When we step on the field, Ghana will sense the energy we have, that we are mentally and physically ready for them, and hopefully they realize it's going to be our day."
In a Soccer World interview out this month, Klinsmann added: "We will be ready for every game and we will see how far we can go. Our goal is to make it out of the group and we believe we will do that."
The USA's current generation of players is good enough to give the nation hope that on a good day they could progress from an easy group to a group with a balanced strength of teams. Unfortunately they are in a deathly group, paired with cup favorites Germany and an in-form Portugal, both teams ranked in the top five of the world. The third team in the group, Ghana, has eliminated the USA twice: in the Round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup (2-1 aet) and by the same score at the Group Stage in the 2006 Cup.
Prediction: Despite having the potential of upsetting a strong team in a given match on a given day, the USA is not strong enough to beat two, let alone the three better teams it will face in its group. Assuming they are not robbed, as in the 2002 loss (1-0) to Germany, bit.ly/1mKsbB9 the team might tie or win a game, but they will be eliminated at the earliest stage, laying to rest one of the better national team generations the country has ever produced.

Jonas Gustavsson stopped the Coyotes' Lauri Korpikoski on a penalty shot with 4:12 remaining in regulation on Monday night, keeping Phoenix from tying the game late as the Detroit Red Wings held on for a 3-2 win.
Gustavsson made 29 saves on 31 shots to earn his second win of the season. Phoenix netminder Jason Labarbera stopped 32 of the 35 shots he faced in the loss.
Ian White got the Red Wings on the board 4:01 in, snapping a shot from the blue line through traffic and past Labarbera to make it 1-0.
Phoenix responded 3:55 later when Martin Hanzal tipped a Radim Vrbata shot from the left wing past Gustavsson on a power play.
The Coyotes got out in front with 7:43 left in the period. After the Red Wings failed to clear the zone, Keith Yandle fired a shot on net. Gustavsson stopped Yandle's shot and a rebound attempt from in front by David Moss but Rob Klinkhammer jumped into the play and roofed it over the sprawling goalie, making it 2-1.
Johan Franzen evened things back up with 39 seconds remaining in the second period. On a Red Wings' power play, Niklas Kronwall faked a shot from the left wing before feeding Franzen in the slot for a snap past Labarbera.
Pavel Datsyuk put the Wings back in front with a power play goal 6:12 into the third. Henrik Zetterberg took the puck behind the Phoenix net before sending a pass out front. The puck bounced off defenseman David Schlemko's skate and settled down at the edge of the crease for Datsyuk to scoop up and lift past Labarbera to make it 3-2.
The Red Wings scored twice on five total power plays. The Coyotes had three power plays and scored on one of them.
The win was Detroit's fifth consecutive road win. They'll conclude their West Coast road trip on Thursday in San Jose.
First period could have been worse. Would have been nice to have gotten out of it tied but the Wings are at least awake.
Wings playing pretty poorly. Tie game heading into the third? Hell yes I'll take it.
Gustavsson has been absolutely on, but looks horrible doing it.
Since I forgot a stupid stat in the pregame post, the Wings are 15-6-1 all time at jobing.com Arena.

I started crocheting when I was pregnant with my daughter. I tried to teach myself using books but it wasn't working so my husband signed me up for some crochet classes at JoAnn's. They helped me learn the basics and I have been crocheting almost every day since then.

2007 Season Outlook
The University of Southern Indiana women's soccer team begins the 2007 campaign on foreign soil with its sights set on extending the season though the GLVC and the NCAA post-seasons.
The Screaming Eagles are scheduled to play three exhibition games in London, England, as a build-up to making a run at the GLVC Tournament for the second time in three seasons and an appearance in the NCAA Division II Tournament for the first time since 1998.
Under the direction of fifth-year Head Coach Krissy Engelbrecht, USI is hoping to turn around a 4-13-0 season in 2006 and return to the upper half of the GLVC standings. Engelbrecht has directed the Eagles to a 25-42-3 record in four seasons.
The Eagles are loaded up front, led by seniors Julie Collins and Katie Grossman.
Grossman was USI's top scorer a year ago. She had a team-best nine points on four goals and one assists. One of her goals was a game-winner, the third of Grossman's career.
Collins, the 2005 second team All-GLVC performer, was second on the team last year with seven points on two goals and three assists. She also ranks in the USI top five all-time in points, goals and assists. She has seven career game-winning goals.
Coming back to join Collins and Grossman up front is junior Jessica Stawick and sophomores Rachel Caksackkar, Julie Vaughan, and Katie Tieagarden. Stawick was fourth on the team in scoring with four points on two goals.
USI has two new forwards for the 2007 season in freshmen Victoria Fralick and Kaycie Hibdon.
Fralick is crossing the Ohio River from Kentucky to begin her collegiate career. She joins the USI squad after lettering in soccer at Lyon County High School (Eddyville, Kentucky). The three-time Kentucky All-State performer also was a four-time first team All-Region and three-time All-District soccer player.
Fralick finished her prep career at LCHS as the all-time leader in goals scored and assists. She also set the single-season record in both categories.
Hibdon finished her soccer career at Gibson Southern High School (Ft. Branch, Indiana) with a school record 65 goals after setting the season-record with 23 goals as a junior. She was a two-time GSHS Most Valuable Player and four-time All-County performer during her four-year high school soccer career.
The 2007 midfield will be anchored by six returning players, led by junior Cara Jansen and sophomore Shauni Boudia. Boudia started all 17 games as a freshman and had one assist, while Jansen appeared in 15 games with 11 starts.
In addition to Jansen and Boudia, the Eagles return juniors Jessica Snyder, Serena Loewenthal, and Lauren Pineda; and sophomore Kara Georgeff.
New to the midfield for 2007 is freshman Casey Bryan. Bryan was a three-sport participant at Portage High School (Portage, Indiana), lettering in soccer, track, and basketball. She was the soccer team captain the last two seasons and the Most Valuable Player in 2006. PHS advanced to the Indiana state finals in 2006.
The Eagles' defense remained steady in 2006 after showing marked improvement over the last three seasons. Leading the defense is senior goalkeeper Meagan Homolla and senior defender Keri Land.
Homolla played in 16 of the 17 matches as a junior, posting a 1.80 goals against average with 78 saves. She also became the USI all-time leader in saves with 251.
Sophomore goalkeeper Jami Martin returns as Homolla's back-up between the posts. She had a 1.67 GAA in three matches and two starts in 2006.
New to the roster in 2007 is freshman goalkeeper Ashleigh Lemp. Lemp was a three-time All-District and All-Conference performer for Marian High School (Mishawaka, Indiana). She also was named the Northern Indiana High School Goalkeeper of the Year in 2006 after setting the MHS record for career saves.
Land, along with senior Katie Barisano; junior Casey Alexander; and sophomore Alison Conquest, lead the defense in front of the goal. The five are a veteran group who have played in a combined 169 matches.
Conquest, who also had one of USI's four game-winning goals last season, was third on the squad in scoring with six points on three goals.
In addition defensively, the Eagles also return senior Mallory Minor and sophomores Jenna Keusch, Jaclyn Clements, and Katie Austin.

Barnacle's is a sports bar at its best. In Duluth, it's close to all the Gwinnett Place Mall shopping areas. When you walk it, you're almost overwhelmed with the number of different TV screens. At one point I could look straight ahead, and without turning, I could count 39 television screens. Add to that at least 9 pool tables and two full bars, and you have an adult playground for any sports fan.
My group ordered pre-game munchies that included the nachos, chips and spinach dip, and the pitcher and wing special. The pitcher and wing special included 21 wings and your favorite domestic draft beer for only $14.99. Needless to say, our group had a great time.
Try it out the next time you want to catch a game in Atlanta.

I always had the ugliest ones throughout middle and high school. But Sporty Sister came up with the best idea ever. She took (well, stole) one of my cosmetic cases and used it as a pencil case. Can you say GEN-IUS?
Cosmetic cases are perfect for pencils, pens, highlighters, etc. because they're LINED. You don't have to worry about that sneaky highlighter leaking through a cute pattern. (Please tell me I'm not the only one that this has happened to!) They're also perfect in size since they're designed to hold makeup brushes. Here are some that would be a perfect addition to a tote (or a backpack).
Lilly Pulitzer. This is what I use.. and it's perfect! I have it in the Mumsie print.
Stephanie Johnson- Just stumbled across this website, and I'm really loving the prints. Check out all the different styles/prints. To die for!
These two are from Kate Spade. I like the clear a lot... it would look so cute filled with bright colored pens and pencils!
And finally, a really cute one from Target!
I REALLY want this Kate Spade pencil case. It's actually designed for pencils. It comes with those ADORABLE erasers and pencils!!! A local stationery (E not A) store at home and I lust over it every time I walk by!

Welcome to Buffaloes Summer Break where CUBuffs.com catches up with Colorado student-athletes and coaching staff members throughout the summer "off season."
Today's installment comes from senior multi-events standout Brianne Beemer. A native of Loveland, Colo., Beemer had an outstanding junior season for the Buffaloes, scoring at both the Pac-12 Conference (Outdoor) Championships and Mountain Pacific States Federation (Indoor) meets. She placed third in the pentathlon at the MPSF Championships with 3,771 points and then followed that score up with a personal best 3,960 as she placed sixth at the USA Indoor meet. Beemer was fourth in the heptathlon at the Pac-12 Championships with a career-best 5,339 points.
What is your favorite summer time activity?
A game my friends and I invented called Frislo involving pools and a Frisbee!
Favorite vacation destination and why?
Silverton, Colorado, is my favorite summer destination because I camp, fish, and jeep in the wilderness.
What was your first summer job?
My first summer job was raising market lambs for the Larimer County Fair. I would take care of the sheep all summer and then sell them, saving the money for college.
What was your most memorable summer job experience?
Working as a food runner in Aspen confirmed that I enjoy learning and that college is vital.�
What is the most important activity you engage in during the summer months that helps prepare you for the next season?
Yoga helps me prepare for the next season on multiple levels. I gain flexibility, mental clarity and am constantly challenged.��
If they offered a class in ___________ at Colorado during the summer I would surely get an A+
Activities-How many events can you attend in the summer
What is your favorite moment here at Colorado so far?
It is hard to narrow it down to just one moment. It is a tie between seeing Ralphie rush the field before a football game and running to the top of Folsom (Field) during a workout and seeing the sun setting behind the Flatirons. Both remind me of what it truly means to be a Buffalo.
The thing that surprised you the most about the move from the Big 12 to the Pac-12 Conferences is:
How well CU fits in with all the schools in the Pac-12 in academics, athletics and friendliness.
Best advice for youth that are beginning to compete in athletics.
Dream big and work even harder.
If you could play a single game/event for a CU team that is not your sport, which would it be and why?
I would tie-up the laces and hit the hardwood with the CU women's basketball team!
If you could bring one famous person to Colorado for a day-long tour who would it be, and what would you do with them?
I would take Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons in character) tubing down the Boulder Creek, followed by lunch on Pearl, a game of Frislo and finally dancing at Band on the Bricks. We would only use bicycles as transportation and I am certain it would drive him crazy but provide me with plenty of entertainment.�

I've bought rescue horse, she's a 7 year old mare in foal with her 6th foal, she's came from a gypsy home and has been so badly beaten that I can't get near her. I've found redworm in her poo but can't worm her as I can't get close.
Can anyone recomend a liquid or powder wormer to treat redworm that is suitable for a mare in foal.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The best thing to do is speak to your vet in the morning to get proper advice. We can say use this product or that product but we aren't experts and with her being in foal you really do need to talk to vet tht knows their stuff. Good luck with her.

Attacks on the Press: Internet Opening Is Shrinking

Dear President Obama: We are pleased that you will begin your second term as U.S. president with a trip to Southeast Asia. As you visit Burma, Cambodia, and Thailand from November 17 through 20 while attending the 21st Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit and related meetings in Phnom Penh, we hope that your commitment to human rights and the fundamental right to free expression remains an important aspect of your agenda.
At online discussion sites all over the world, comments are posted on the Web as soon as they are written. People argue, inform, express anger, and voice fears. Some say things in the heat of the moment that they might go on to regret. Others are elliptical and obscure. The enabling of such conversations is an important modern method of discovering and re-telling the news, and encourages previously uninvolved readers of the news to help gather and disseminate it--especially in times when traditional media is censored or afraid.
Bangkok, May 30, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns today's conviction of Chiranuch Premchaiporn, webmaster and director of the Prachatai news and commentary website, for violating Thailand's 2007 Computer Crimes Act.
San Francisco, May 30, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns today's conviction of Chiranuch Premchaiporn, webmaster of the Prachatai discussion board, under Thailand's Computer Crimes Act. The court's decision, which affirms that website operators can be criminally liable for the content of user comments, chills online press freedom in the country, and leaves Thai news sites vulnerable to unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.
Earlier today, press and human rights groups from around the world heard that the decision in the case of Chiranuch "Jiew" Premchaiporn, the manager of Thai online news site Prachatai, was being delayed yet another month. Chiranuch is charged under Thailand's Computer Crime Act for 10 counts of not deleting apparently anti-monarchy comments on Prachatai's online discussion boards.

Legislation for Internet security can quickly turn into a weapon against the free press. Cybercrime laws are intended to extend existing penal codes to the online world, but they can easily be broadened to criminalize standard journalistic practices. By Danny O'Brien

Les législations soutenant la sécurité sur Internet peuvent rapidement se transformer en une arme contre la presse libre. Les lois sur la cybercriminalité étendent les codes pénaux du monde en ligne, mais elles peuvent facilement être élargies à criminaliser les activés journalistiques de base. Par Danny O'Brien
Attacks on the Press | Thailand
Journalists faced significant restrictions, particularly online, despite democratic elections and a change in government. Outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva cracked down on partisan media, shutting radio stations and detaining Somyot Preuksakasemsuk, editor of a newsmagazine aligned with the anti-government United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship. New premier Yingluck Shinawatra wielded the country's strict lèse majesté laws by censoring websites and Facebook pages, and harassing Internet users who posted online material critical of the monarchy. Chiranuch Premchaiporn, editor of the news website Prachatai, faced a possible 50 years in prison under the draconian 2007 Computer Crimes Act for anonymous anti-royal remarks that were posted to one of her site's comment sections. The case was pending in late year. A reporter was killed in September while covering bombings in the country's insurgency-plagued southern region, a fatality that continued the country's recent spate of media deaths. The government opened a new inquiry into the fatal shooting of Reuters cameraman Hiro Muramoto during 2010 protests in Bangkok, but authorities left unresolved the case of a second international journalist killed in the 2010 unrest, Italian photographer Fabio Polenghi.
Earlier this month, I spoke as an expert witness in the ongoing trial of Chiranuch Premchaiporn, the editor of Thailand's Prachatai.com website, who is being criminally prosecuted under that country's Computer Crime Act and Lesé Majesté laws. The crime involves online posts allegedly disrespectful to Thailand's monarchy, but Chiranuch herself is not accused of originating or posting the commentary.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Though various reviews have been generated for Michel Gondry's "Mood Indigo" at several film festivals so far over the past few months, it looks like anyone living outside of France can ignore them.
An e-mail alert from Australia's Vendetta Films has gone out advising media that only a new version of "Mood Indigo" will be screened and released from now on.
This version is a full 36 minutes shorter and is described as "a looser adaptation of the novel" and doesn't rely on any previous knowledge of the novel - a complaint cited in some reviews. Understandably they describe it as "a VERY different film experience" to the original version.
It also adds that this shorter cut will "now be the version released in all territories outside of France." The new version is said to have been edited by "The King's Speech" and "American Beauty" editor Tariq Anwar.

Anyone know what this is and where I can buy it? I have a salad dressing recipe that calls for it. If it is available at grocery stores, can you tell me where? I have looked and looked and can't find it!
on 7/7/2003 11:57:32 AM
It in the canning section and comes in a box. Certo is the brand they sell here. Ask at the cash registers for the canning supplies.
on 7/7/2003 11:58:00 AM
Could it be something like Certo crystals? (as opposed to liquid pectin)
on 7/7/2003 12:49:57 PM
There are two main types of pectin, crystalized (dry) and liquid. When canning, recipes call for one or the other depending on type of fruit being processed and the steps you're willing to do to accomplish your task. The most commonly available types are Ball and Sure-Jell. Liquid pectin is usually less laborious as far as preparation of a jelly and it comes in a small bottle, so the package is substantially larger than the dry. I'm sure you'd be able to find dry pectin in almost any larger grocery store in the baking section or canning section if they have one. As far as the dry, you will see a small Jello sized box with directions for amounts of fruits and amounts of sugar needed to "jell" the fruit.
For your information, there is one other available, but not readily. I only knew about it from a rather obscure message in a conservation cookbook. That pectin is radically different from Ball and Sure-Jell. This pectin uses monocalcium phosphate to make jams/jellies without any added sugar, honey, etc. I managed to find it at a health food store under the name of Pomona's universal pectin, but I've never seen it in regular grocery stores. I definitely would not use this. It is scarce enough that I'm quite sure that the pectin your recipe calls for wouldn't be this one. Most pectins need 55-85% sugar to jell. If your recipe includes sugar, use the more commonly found ones in the grocery stores. There are lower sugar versions of the regular Sure-Jell dry pectins, but these are still not the same as the monocalcium phosphate which require absolutely no added sugars.
I hope this explanation has been helpful and not overly confusing.
on 7/7/2003 2:15:27 PM
If you are making the salad dressing that I use pectin for
(a brand name Italian type) you would use the pectin others have described.
But I wanted to mention a lower priced pectin that I have found at SavALot grocery store. i have been using it for the last three years for my grape jelly. It is made by the Williams seasoning company (think Chili, LOL) and it is only 49 cents a box as apposed to a dollar something for Ball and Sure Jell. If you have a SAL near you, it is the only brand they carry and it is in their canning section.
It works very well for me, and saves me tons!
on 7/8/2003 12:39:39 PM
Thanks so much everyone! Phxmom- I appreciate all the info :) Mom2kt- yes, that's the salad dressing :) I'm tired of buying those little packets every week!!
on 7/9/2003 6:01:10 PM
Glad to know the explanation wasn't too confusing.
What is the salad dressing, and where'd you get the recipe-from internet, book or handed down? I'm looking for some new things-trying to eat healthier and the only homemade dressing I've made w/ success calls for quite a bit of oil.
on 7/10/2003 12:46:27 PM
You can buy it in bulk (I think 10# is the smallest) if you do an online search. It's called Dutch Gel and you will save a FORTUNE - especially if you make a lot of jams as I do.
on 7/10/2003 4:04:13 PM
Phxmom- the salad dressing is just like the Good Seasons Italian salad dressing packets by I think McCormick- they cost about $1.75 per packet here. So obviously I had to figure out how to make it myself :) I just did an internet search for "Good Seasons Italian Dressing Recipe" and got a bunch of results. I don't think I can post it here, but if you do the search you'll easily find it.
SerenityHill, the place I order dry goods from has something called Pomona's universal pectin. It says 1 package makes 10 pints of jam. Do you think this is "dry" pectin? They also have something called Emes Kosher Jel and another thing called "Clear Jel" defined as a modified waxy maize food starch for cooking, not instant. Is that what I am looking for? It is so cheap to buy in bulk :)
on 7/11/2003 12:13:40 PM
Dear Leah, the Pomona universal pectin is the monocalcium phosphate type. I haven't used it yet, but may do so today w/ all my berries. It doesn't need any sugar like most pectins do. I'm pretty sure you don't want this for your dressing as it is kind of rare and so few have used it. So I doubt this is the one you really need. Yet, you could try it and share your results! The other types you mentioned, I truly have absolutely no clue, but I'd try the sure-jell or certo dry stuff to see how your recipe reacts. Then I'd try the more esoteric brands.
on 3/17/2008 9:41:21 PM
I'm a few years late on this thread (LOL), but I noticed that Pomona now has a salad dressing recipe listed (here: http://www.pomonapectin.com/pr2_b.gif or if that link doesn't work, go to http://www.pomonapectin.com/recipes.html and select page 2 of recipe card 2--it's the last recipe on the page). You may be able to use Pomona if you follow the methods in their recipes (I get the impression that it may take more work to dissolve than other pectins). You've gotten me curious to try this pectin--I'll have to check it out at my local health food store.
on 3/27/2008 10:44:07 PM
Oh, Thanks so much you all.... I have been trying to find a way to make jam without sugar, like the polaner all fruit spreads in the grocery store. I think this pomonapectin will work! I can't believe all this time, this thread was under my nose and I missed it. So thank you Michellyn for bringing it current ~Kim
