i have composed a lament for all those affected by the shootings:
Resistance is NOT futile. Zuk that, Zuck!!!
In France, Facebook is known as "fesse de bouc". Google Translate will give you an accurate translation. :-)
This idea of "solutionism" by "THE Deity" is explored in depth in an interesting book: To Save Everything Click Here, Evgeny Morozov, Public Affairs (Perseus Books Group), New York, 2013.
El Reg ought to look at a Gradwell, a UK based outfit, which used to provide a 1st rate quality web shared hosting service. I have had 8 to 12 sites with them since 2008. Then they put in a new hosting system called Cloud Hosting. Since then, it's all gone downhill: intermittent unavailability of sites, billing errors, FTP space "thinking" it's full so you can no longer upload files, up to 2 weeks response time from technical support by email (used to be same day), the error ticketing system itself going tits up, a client control panel (from Parallels) not updating or showing inaccurate information, no acknowledgement of downtime, etc...
It does matter to an individual when your site is not available AND you had planned to do some work on it.
El Reg is welcome to get in touch if it wants more info, as I have it all documented, including a letter of apology from the Chief Exec of Gradwell.
In 1917, Lenine didn't have a Blackberry, an Android or an Iphone. Yet...
Collared is the Women Institute equivalent of the UK BDSM scene.
...dark forces, which will likely seek to criminalise the creation of such parts as replicas of your love muscle or that of your hubby.
Job being a law unto himself, he can do whatever he wants wherever and whenever he wants to, and that includes giving the finger to the duly elected law makers in Westminster and everywhere else in the world where there is a parliamentary democracy.
How about a Draw His Jobsiness Facebook campaign?
So glad am gay! Btw El Reg: can we have the gay equivalent to the Paris Hilton icon?
You should see what them fan boy geeks do with their ipads on chat roulette!!!
Rather than rehash the same thing over and over again, how about tackling some new material, such as Frederick Pohl's Heechee saga or Franck Herbert's Dune saga (Lynch's film was a complete disaster, Graham Norton would make an excellent Benet Gesserit queen bitch)?
what do you expect from an object named after the content of James Joyce's literary output?
British gay men are very found of chavs (aka scallies) because of their bad boys attitude. Dress up as a chav and your Gaydar (a well known UK gay dating site) inbox will be flowing with invitations. There are even Gay scallies nights in various gay clubs up and down this country. So it seems this app kills 2 birds with 1 stone. If I could morally convince myself to give my cash to Apple and get an iJesusPhone, I would immediately get this app and go happy hunting!
Written material may have been saved from censorship, but what about the visual or sound material which arise inside my head while reading the written material?
ok, good move, but let's see how those guidelines are acted upon by mr+mrs plod on the ground. i am one of the hobbyist photographers who participated to the demo outside scotland yard in feb 2009. my pics of the event are on http://www.deflorence.com/?p=205
..."CONFESSING to never having used a computer".
So not having ever used a computer is a crime/sin then?
Catch 22: if u use a computer and the Internet then you're a pedo, fraudster, terrorist, etc... If you don't you're a criminal or a sinner.
Go figure, init!
"The division of the psychical into what is conscious and what is unconscious is the fundamental premise of psychoanalysis. Very powerful mental processes or ideas exist in the unconscious which can produce all the effects in mental life that ordinary ideas do though they themselves do not become conscious."
Sigmund Freud, The Ego & the Id, 1923
Any phenomena can be translated into or mapped onto any other phenomena. It all depends on the translating algorhithm. In this case, it could easly be tweaked to produce some Monteverdi (consonant) or Feyrnehough (dissonant). As such, I do not find this experiment to have any value whatsoever. Very hippie alltogether, but well done if you can get research money out of it.
"Current anti-Sarkozy protestors are wearing badges or T-shirts which refer to a 17th Century romantic novel that the president dismissed as rubbish"
For the literary type among you, the novel in question is "La princesse de Clèves", by Mme de Lafayette, which describes a very steamy and illicit affair between two married aristocrats. Beautifully written, this work is regarded as the first novel in the history of French literature, i.e. a written work of an imaginary nature.
As Roman Jackobson would say, who exactly is lying or telling the truth? The subject of the utterance (the grammatical I), or the subject making the utterance?
When the online drive service initially appeared, it was primarily used for file sharing, of the illegal variety in most instances. Then Napster was invented. No contest reallly.
EU law is quite clear about the copyright aspects of creation: as soon as something is created, it is considered copyrighted to its creator. So whether you put your creations on the wicked wacki web or display them in your front window, they are automatically protected from a legal standpoint. Putting some kind of nanny tag which will tell you "oh oh naughty boy" is not going to help, even if it's technically feasible. Should this proposal be ever introduced, soon after you'll have kids in playgrounds comparing who has collected the most "oh oh naughty boy" web stuff. Human desire is not predictable, something those techno positivist goddies-two-shoes seem to forget.
I believe all this "renaming" has its root in what happened under the French revolution, under the guidance of Robespierre & St Just. The purpose was to eradicate all traces of the hated Ancien Regime, hence the creation of a new vocabulary, which did not smell of the monarchy. The fact is that the first thing each new dictature does once in power is to remould language. This is akin to the infantile belief in the power of thought, that thinking something will actually make it happen.
"Freud called it "ambivalence: love bordering on hatred".
For Freud, ambivalence is the experiencing of two contradictory feelings at the same time (or in rapid succession.) Love does not border on hatred, they both are different sides of the same coin. When narcissism is frustrated in its aim (I can't have him), hatred immediately succeeds love (I hate him). Hatred can also be unconscious. You are not aware of it, while it still motivates your conscious thoughts and actions. Sheakspeare's Romeo & Juliet is a good exemple of the unconscious hatred which always accompanies love.
The legislator can regulate all he wants, it will not stop unconscious thoughst to exist. A great deal of unconscious thoughts are "criminal", as anyone who has been in analysis can testify.
With the positivist slant to govening inherited from his nip Mr Blair Tony, I would not be surprised if the current attempts at regulating the psychonalytic profession made a provision for psychoanalysts being obliged to report any such "criminal" thoughts as expressed on the analytic couch!
The will for governements to regulate even more each and every aspect of citizens behaviour can be seen as the outpouring of the Death drive (Thanatos), in its inscription on the social body. The predicted disasters by the climate change lobby are nothing compared to what such a large outpouring of hatred (disguised at law) can do to our psychological and physical survival. Freud's imagery for such a phenomenon was that of a tyranic father who'd reserved for himself all the pleasures, the sons being strictly forbidden any kind of gratification.
As for "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it", that's Voltaire.
Doesn't The Register use WordPress? So should I stop reading The Register online? Na, joking.
Hold on chaps, who said quantity equalled quality? Were Turner, Gainsborough or Van Gogh surfing the net when they were painting?
The black hole may have already occured when they switched that big Mamma on, and we are now all in a parallel universe. It's just that, like a Phlip K. Dick hero, we have not yet realised it. Can someone check what the history books say about who won WWII? In the event that we have jumped into a parallel reality, hopefully nu labour, traffic wardens and health & safety officials will have been left behind.
The Paris tube network has had cell phone coverage for ages. Parisians are always surprised when finding out that they cannot use their mobiles in the London underground. After all, London has been chosen to organise the next Olympic games, hasn't it?
Dont those pictures fall foul of the "extreme porn" law, whereby performing certain kind of adult sexual acts is legal, but taking, dysplaying, distributing, possessing or looking at pictorial or photographic representations of them is illegal?
Well, if this vulnerability allows allows for profiles to be deleted, I am all for it. I had a FB account for a few weeks, thought it was utterly useless, and tried to close it down. I found out that you could only make it "dormant", as opposed to be able to dlelete the whole thing. So I hope someone will inject the malicious code into my "dormant" profile.
As for PHP & MySQL, if it's good enough for EL REG to run WordPress, then it's good enough for me :-)

I have read many notes and BPs (like C39) about channel "letter" for campaigns and I do not see there anything that an end user could easy use.
I mean the scenario where the prints are done at customers site by CRM, and not at third party based on exported file with customers from target group.
I see the possible mailform fillin on campaign when I choose OpenChannel as a communication channel, and think this could be something
interesting for me. I would like to make a functionality where as for emails, mailform would be set on campaign and when execution, prints will be loaded to spool.
Has anybody any experience in configuration for letter channel in CRM 7 when self printing was to be done?
Hi Radoslaw,
I thing you can use Action profile for the desired functionality.
Condition would be:
if ( campaign status = Executed) then Print the campaign details.
You can go through http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/Action+profiles+in+SAP-CRM for further details on action profile creation using smart forms.
so on campaign I would only need channel like "Activities with print" and field for choosing smartform?
<user should choose smartform on campaign level>.
Yes, on campaign level. Technically it should work.
have you implemented sth like this?
any performance problems?
all the activities should print automatically to 1 printer?
No, I have not implemented but I know that the feature exists.
Hello Radoslow,
Unfortunately, in CRM 7.0 you will not be able to print mail forms as you did in CRM 5.0. You can use CRM and the file export function to export the data then use a third party tool to format and print the letters. Another option would be to create an Open chennel BADI that uses the code from the old CRM version.
Hi Willie,
what code from CRM 5 are you writing about (you mean badi CRM_MKT_EXP_CAMP_DAT) ?
Hello, Radek.
Actually the letter channel was missed and there are notes for SAP CRM 7.0 Ehp1:
Note 1573981 - A channel is missing in EHP1
Note 1587963 - A channel is missing
which enable it. May be this will help you.
Hi Letter has been re-introduce also for EHP0 as far as I know. There is an old discussion by Gregor Wolf about this topic
Thx Andrei, I know these notes and I have them in my system but I do not fully understand how it works. Can you please post example user steps for such letter campaign? (how the print is done - from activity or any bulk job)
I create new comm channel for Marketing with comm medium = 4.
I had to create form for letter but could do it only in tcode CRMD_EMAIL - I did not find any place in web ui to create it. I had also to create print profile for campaign. And later I set it all on campaign, and it works.
Hello Radoslaw,
where did you create the Print Profile, I am trying to set up the channel letter campaigns but finally I am not able to create the print profile.
Thanks a lot for any hints.
Best regards,
it was a bit long time ago so I hardly remember. possibly it was some maintenance view (sm30) where such profile could be created. please try with V_CRMC_IM_PRINT

Rewind of Dolphins-Bucs exhibition game
The game was wet and sloppy, but the Miami Dolphins got exactly what they wanted to out of Saturday night's exhibition opener against Tampa Bay.
The Dolphins players "practiced winning" according to Ricky Williams. The coaches got a look at plenty of players working in different situations against another team, and they experienced the worst conditions Sun-Life Stadium had to offer.
GO (away) MARLINS!
Here's what I took from the game after watching it two more times.
On Preston Parker's last punt return, FIVE players on the Dolphins coverage unit got their hands on him before Reshad Jones (three special teams tackles) brought him down. A lot of people are worried about the returners. I'm concerned about the coverage unit considering I sense leaks….
For the record, Nate Ness played just as good on special teams as he did at corner.
I'm gonna say something that's probably going to upset some people (wouldn't be the first time…and won't be the last), but at this stage in his NFL career Marlon Moore is further ahead than Davone Bess was in his rookie season.
That back shoulder grab Moore caught was magnificent. On that play he did something Bess struggles to do, which was produce yards after catch. Moore got 14 of them to be exact on his 34-yard reception. If he keeps this up, and I suspect he will, he's a keeper. But probably on the practice squad unless he keeps flashing during the exhibition games….
I wasn't very impressed with Cory Procter, which is consistent with what I've seen for two weeks. He's merely a decent puller. He plays with limited power. He's smart, but that only gets you so far. However, I'll admit my problem is I keep comparing everyone to Justin Smiley and I need to move on because the team has. My guess is Richie Incognito will win that starting left guard spot….
I was shocked to see the Dolphins using Turner as the slot receiver. But I can see their vision there. Imagine a three receiver set that features Turner, Brandon Marshall and Brian Hartline. That's one big group of wideouts! Turner's one impressive catch is about the norm of what I've seen for the past two weeks in practice. But so is the drop he had. Consistency is what the coaches want, which means he can't disappear this Saturday, or the next one…..
Andrew Gardner was playing right tackle when he got beat by Michael Bennett for a sack. Lydon Murtha was playing left tackle, which to me means Murtha's ahead of Gardner for that final tackle spot on the 53-man roster. However, I'm not sure either of them are ready to become starters if something happened to Jake Long or Vernon Carey. That's why the Dolphins need Nate Garner to get healthy quickly…..
Ike Alama-Francis is one hell of an edge setter, but he didn't make any plays on the runs that came his direction. But he did stay on his feet for most of his snaps, which is an issue I have with another player at that position….
Rookie ILBer Austin Spitler was blitzing on the Sean Smith interception. Dolphins brought six defenders for the first time on that play (Mike Nolan sparingly blitzed with his starting front seven….why show his hand) and had the cornerbacks playing deep zone. Josh Johnson was forced to rush his throw and Smith hawked it down for the exhibition season's first interception, proving to the naysayers he's got excellent ball skills.
Anyone who thinks Smith had a bad game clearly doesn't know much about football. Were the Dolphins playing man or zone? And if the answer was zone, which side did they lean heavily on, and why? Answer those question and get back to me.
Also, please keep in mind that Smith was trying to catch his footing on the mud to stop Sammie Stroughter from scoring that touchdown on what appeared to be a broken play. Chris Clemon's whiffed on that tackle too….
Speaking of Clemons, he also missed tackling Johnson on a QB scramble brought on by a high snap. It's not fair to blame the whiff on the mud considering Clemons wasn't the surest tackle last season either (neither was Smith). Clemons told me he plans to work on tackling after practice this week. I'm dying to see how he gets that done….
For those quarterback lovers out there I've got good news. Chad Henne did a GOOD job of identifying where the pressure came from in most of his snaps. This addresses some of my concerns about why the Dolphins defense has been so successful getting to the QBs in practice. If it wasn't for all those drops Henne would have had an impressive outing…..
John Jerry is the starting right guard. Write it down in pen. The rookie moves well for a big boy with a big butt. He can get to the second level on blocks. He's still a little rough around the edges, but has more upside than Donald Thomas, who primarily worked with the third team linemen because the coaches are more interested in getting an evaluation of Procter….
I'm glad I FINALLY saw Koa Misi's ability to shed a block. Everyone, including Tony Sparano, has been raving about it, but I guess it's hard see him pull off his escape trick when he's constantly going against Vernon Carey, Jake Long and Garner. The Dolphins second-round pick played well in the exhibition opener, but there's a reason he was the only starter sharing reps with another player (Alama-Francis).
Misi needs to stay on his feet more. That's been my biggest problem with him in camp. Offensive linemen have their way with him in the running game too often. I still have some concerns about Misi that won't go away after one game, but I do see the upside, and the coaching staff's vision for him.
Misi is a tailormade strong side linebacker who will fuel the versatility of Nolan's defense.

The oldest known example of bone cancer in a human being was reported by Michaela Binder from Durham University in the United Kingdom and colleagues from the British Museum in London in the March 17, 2014, edition of the journal Public Library of Science.
The remains of a young man found in the archaeological site of Amara West in modern Sudan, situated on the left bank of the Nile about 750 kilometers south of the Khartoum was determined to have had bone cancer. The bone cancer had metastasized from either a skin cancer or cancer of an organ according to x-rays, microscopic, and scanning electron microscopic imaging of the lesions. The remains were recovered from an ancient Nubian tomb. The man was between 25 and 35 years of age when he died.
The skeleton is 3214 years old. This is the most complete example of cancer in ancient times that has been unearthed to date. There are older examples of cancer from ancient Egypt and Austria but none show the extensive progression of the disease that is displayed in this individual. Metastatic cancer has never been seen in the fossil record before.
While cancer is rare in ancient times this discovery raises questions as to present thinking about environmental causes of cancer due to pollution, smoking, and other causes. Apparently, the shortened telomeres that give rise to much of cancer have been present in human DNA for thousands of years.
The researchers plan to extend their inspection of ancient cancer in hopes of changing medical perspectives on the cause and potential cure of cancer.

The Preaching Initiative
The Preaching Initiative trains current and future pastors, as well as lay people, to be better preachers. The initiative includes elective courses in homiletics for students, annual preaching conferences, and preaching cluster groups where students and non-students alike can hone their preaching skills in a relational setting.
The Concept
Pastors do many things, but in most cases, nothing is as visible as their preaching. A seminary education prepares men and women for pastoral roles, but preaching is just one of a number of topics covered in a typical seminary curriculum. Where can current and former seminary students go to learn more about preaching? Some pastors do not even have the opportunity to attend seminary. Where can they go for help?
Denver Seminary's Preaching Initiative is helping to answer these questions. The initiative provides a solution to the widespread need for better training in how to most effectively communicate God's truth to modern society.
Our Methodology
There is more than one way to preach. Even so, we believe training is most effective when we focus on one well-attested method - "big idea" expository preaching. Denver Seminary has a long history and expertise in training its students in this method, and it is the primary approach the Preaching Initiative incorporates as well. The initiative has four main components:
- Course Electives in Homiletics for Denver Seminary Students and Alumni.
- Two Annual Preaching Events: (1) The Shannon Lectureship in the spring semester, and (2) The Preaching Conference in the fall semester.
- Preaching Cluster Groups: These groups combine instructional content from Denver Seminary homiletics courses with opportunities to preach, all in a relational setting facilitated by an expert pastor-preacher.
- Spiritual Formation: Preaching skills are critical, but so is the spiritual vitality of the preacher. Experts in this realm will share their insights with preaching initiative participants near the end of each semester.
To find out more about or to register for a Preaching Cluster Group, please click here.
2014 Preaching Initiative Kickoff Meeting
Good preaching clearly explains, illustrates, and applies the Bible to people's lives. Clear communication, though, comes at a cost. Preaching is hard work, but it is a glorious task as well.
Below are two videos from Scott Wenig and Felix Gilbert on methodology and outlining. The videos cover a lot of ground, and are intended to be a good resource for you to reference as you go through the preaching cluster group experience.

2009 Research Summary
Information Flow Security
View Current Project Information
Susmit Jha and Sanjit A. Seshia
Security-typed languages can be used to build programs that are information-flow secure, meaning that they do not allow secret data to leak. Declassification allows programs to leak secret information in carefully prescribed ways. Manually placing declassifiers to authorize certain flows of information can be dangerous because an incorrectly placed declassifier can leak far more secure data than intended. Additionally, the sheer number of runtime flows that can cause an error means that determining where to place declassifiers can be difficult. This project involves development of a new constraint solver-based approach for diagnosing the source of information leaks in programs [1] and constructing information-flow secure programs by an optimized placement of declassifiers [2].
Leakage restrictions are specified using hard constraints and potential declassifier locations are ranked using soft constraints. Finally, the placement problem is submitted to a pseudo-Boolean optimizing SAT solver that selects a minimal set of declassifiers that prevent unauthorized data leakage. These declassifiers can be reviewed by the programmer to ensure that they correspond with acceptable declassification points: if not, new hard constraints can be added and the optimization framework can be reinvoked. The experimental results indicate that our analysis suggests declassifiers that will cause no more leakage than those placed by programmers in a fraction of the time it would take to perform a manual analysis. This work provides a foundation for less expert programmers to build information-flow secure programs and to convert existing programs to be information-flow secure.
Currently, we are trying to develop a technique which can quantitatively track the flow of information. The goal of declassification in this quantitative setting would be to minimize the mutual entropy of the secret data and the public output.

AT&T holiday 2010 lineup leaks: Samsung Galaxy Tab, 3 new Android smartphones, 6 WP7 devices
Parts of AT&T's holiday 2010 smartphone and tablet lineup have leaked. And while this leak doesn't feature exhaustive details on each upcoming product, it paints a very interesting picture regarding AT&T's Q4 offerings.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab was photographed with AT&T branding and is, at this point, all but confirmed to be coming to the USA's second biggest carrier.
The Galaxy Tab, along with three new Android smartphones (that are sadly not named, described or specced), will be released "prior to December". Which may mean November 30th, sure, but most likely means that the whole of November will be a very, very busy Android month for AT&T.
On the Windows Phone 7 front, it's being said once again that the Samsung i917 Cetus will be one of the first WP7 devices to hit the streets. The Samsung Focus and the HTC Surround are two other WP7-packing smartphones that will be coming to AT&T. These three will be apparently joined by three other WP7 devices, all by year's end.
AT&T's claims that it will be the 'premier carrier' for Windows Phone 7 are finally starting to make sense.
AT&T has not forgotten BlackBerry fans. The BlackBerry Torch may not be selling as well as some execs were expecting it to, but that won't prevent the carrier from launching three new color variations of RIM's latest and greatest: an all-white, a red/black model and and an olive colored edition. These will be available in mid to late November.
If this leak turns out to be 100% real, that's some serious smartphone love from AT&T. Which may help them get closer to Verizon in terms of subscriber numbers.

"Pretend it's the End of the World"on Hot Cup Records June 8, 2010
New York's Most Decorated Avant-Country Instrumental Merle Haggard Cover Band
Featuring: Bryan Murray - Tenor Sax, Jon lrabagon - Alto Sax, Jon Lundbom - Guitar, Moppa Elliott - Bass, Danny Flscher - Drums
"Pretend lt's the End of the World" is the debut album by Bryan and the Haggards, but these five musicians have a long history of performing together. Their music, under the leadership of guitarist Jon Lundbom as "Big V Chord," has been hailed as a "unique and exciting brand ofjazz fusion." This same quintet, led by tenor saxophonist Bryan Murray, here explores the music of Merle Haggard as an instrumental avant-country cover band.
Guitarist Jon Lundbom was first exposed to the music of Merle Haggard by a friend who described the emotional and transcendental power it had for him. After being quickly won over himself, Lundbom passed his newfound love of this music on to the other members of his band. Murray, even more deeply affected than Lundbom, quickly began transcribing some of the tunes for the quintet to play. "Bryan and the Haggards" came into being as a discrete ensemble during a two-year hiatus for "Big V Chord." In 2007 and 2008, Murray became the de facto leader of the group, organizing rehearsals and performances and arranging the new repertoire.
The melodies and harmonies of many of Haggard's compositions have proven themselves to be ideal vehicles for the type of music and improvisation that this quintet enjoys. ln addition to providing an atypical framework for jazz, Bryan and the Haggards have discovered that the music of Merle Haggard transcends genre and among the most important produced in America. Bryan and the Haggards' approach varies from straight-ahead jazz interpretation to total deconstruction, all while relying on the power and simplicity of the source material. This expansive musical landscape includes lyrical saxophone crooning, cascading scales, flourishes of melody, stringent noise, dissonant multiphonics, inconsistent tempi, and strong two-beat grooves, executed by five musicians with 6 years of experience playing together. The ensemble's chemistry and longevity afford them the ability to wander far and wide, always certain that they will be able to find their way home.
West Virginia native Bryan Murray began playing jazz saxophone at a young age and has devoted most of his life to studying and performing. He attended the University of Kentucky, then moved to Chicago and attended DePaul University, where he performed with jazz legends including Joe Lovano, Kenny Werner, Nicholas Payton, and recorded a live CD with Tom Harrell. Bryan also met two future Haggards at DePaul, guitarist Jon Lundbom and alto saxophonist Jon lrabagon.

Written by Dylan Callaghan
Hollywood and high school are just about the best combination since peanut butter got with jelly between two slices of Wonder. But no matter how much it's been done, no matter how many John Hughes movies, Beverly Hills 90210s or Degrassis there are, those four years of life just keep bearing fresh, delicious, if not always nutritious entertainment fruit.
Glee, the snarky, sweet, Golden Globe-winning hit Fox comedy/song-o-rama is not only making good PB&J, but it's one of those kind that are sliced diagonally with the crust cut off.
In these cynical, celebutante-ish times, it's undeniably groovy that some unknown actor from wholesome Mt. Prospect, Illinois could, with the help of Nip/Tuck's Ryan Murphy, create a scripted, golden-hearted comedy about a high school glee club where the actors actually sing and make it a huge hit.
Ian Brennan is that heretofore unknown actor, who came up with the idea for the show based on his own personal experience in a high school glee club, or, as they called it at Prospects High in the Hughesian Chicagoland area – show choir.
Brennan and Brad Falchuk, a writer and producer from Nip/Tuck who created the show along with Brennan and Murphy, spoke with the Writers Guild of America, West Web site about how Glee came to be, where they see the show going, and how they never want it to end.
How did this all coalesce and you guys get together with Ryan Murphy?
Ian Brennan: I had an idea for a movie, and it ended up with Ryan and Brad, and they said it might make a good TV show. So I went in and met them, and we clicked right away. We went right into making a pilot, and here it is, probably 20 months later.
So this has been whirlwind for you in particular?
Ian Brennan: Crazy. It feels like I'm living someone else's life. Wonderful.
Tell me how the writing on this show works. What's the rough recipe for breaking and turning around episodes?
Brad Falchuk: The process is basically that Ian, Ryan and I come up with a basic theme or premise for an episode, and we'll start pitching ideas and breaking story from that point. There's a lot of pitching and back and forth that goes on between the three of us. Ryan has a very quick ability to take a lot of information and hone it down to simple beats for a story. So we might have pitched out 12 beats, and he'll be able to say, "Hold on," and write down a nine or 10 beat story.
The process tends to go pretty quickly. We meet up Sunday nights at the Chateau Marmont for dinner and talk about what the next episode is going to be. We start gathering our beats and then break those out into acts, and then we start writing scenes.
Then we put them all together, and there's very little rewriting that goes on once you get to that point. There's cutting and a joke pass to punch it up a little bit, but that's usually about it.
An interesting thing with this show is how instrumental – pardon the pun – the music is to the story. Do you always have the beat of the episode and then fit the song to it or does it ever work the other way around?
Brad Falchuk: By and large the music always comes out of the writing. We'll know the story and the scenes first, and normally we just know, "Oh, the song that needs to go here is 'blank.'"
We've been incredibly lucky getting the music we want. It's been shocking. I think we have a success rate of about 95 percent. And we're now in position where artists are kind of courting us.
Are you guys being deluged?
Brad Falchuk: A little bit, but it's a high-class problem to have. We know that it doesn't work that way because we start with the concept and the story, and it all comes out of the story. [So] we don't have to worry about being, I don't know, corrupted by some artist's insistent manager.
Well, it's early yet… This show is a hit and unique because of the music. With the music industry being more ravenous for exposure than ever, you don't feel there's any danger of the show's writing and narrative soul being affected by the music?
Brad Falchuk: That's our job, to keep the integrity of the show's voice pure. We're fortunate that our corporate partners are so supportive they would never dare do that. They understand how the show works. The songs that sell the best are the songs that are involved in the strongest story lines and writing. So the idea of coming the other way around and saying, "Let's find an emotional way to use this song,"would not work. I think they realize that and we realize that. As long as we focus on the writing and these characters, the music will keep selling, but the second it becomes a music video, then it doesn't have any meaning to it.
The writing is definitely the ball you want to keep your eyes on here?
Brad Falchuk: Absolutely. What happens with the best film and TV music is that you watch a scene and hear a song and you can no longer hear that song without thinking of that scene and those characters.
Ian, from your original conception of this as a film, what has most surprised you about how this idea, this story has worked as a produced piece?
Ian Brennan: I think what has surprised me about the show throughout – from the writing of the pilot to now, is its capacity for heart, which sounds weird. I think of the three of us, I have the most cynical mind about the subject matter. I mean I was in show choir, and I have a bitter sense of it all. I'm amazed every time we come up with a script how much heart is in it without it ever seeming sappy.
To what extent do you guys think that, in these sober times, there is more of an appetite for the kind of heart, sweetness, and positivity you see in this show and other new shows like Modern Family?
Brad Falchuk: I think our attitude was to give the show snark and edge without any cynicism. We beat people up pretty good, and our characters get beat up pretty good, they're tortured the way high school kids are, but there's never any hopelessness or cynicism in it.
I don't know if that's a sign of the times. It feels to me like a more mature kind of comedy in a way. It's not laughing at people, it's laughing with them and saying, "That was me, too. I felt that way and I get it."
So where do you guys see this show going?
Brad Falchuk: We've aired 13 episodes, and we're just about to start shooting our 16th. If you think about when TV shows find their stride, this show is still cold. We're just starting to figure this out. I'm really excited to find out what happens with these characters in a third season.
Ian Brennan: I don't know. This is such a dream. It's the kind of dream you don't dare voice, it's been that amazing. It's the kind of thing where you just hop out of bed in the morning. I just want it to go on forever.

April 6, 1999
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State junior all-America swimmer Casey Murphy will be one of 300 student-athletes participating in the third annual NCAA Leadership Conference, the NCAA announced on Tuesday.
The conference will take place May 31 through June 4 at Disney's Wide World of Sports and Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Calif.
"Casey is a very hardworking and very dedicated person," says ASU swimming coach Mike Chasson. "Casey is a very good racer and a great competitor."
Student-athletes were nominated from NCAA member institutions that participate in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program. The mission of the NCAA Leadership Conference is to prepare a diverse group of student-athletes to take an active leadership role on their campuses and in their communities. It provides NCAA student-athletes the opportunity to discuss and explore critical issues facing their peers, as well as giving them an opportunity to enhance their leadership skills, and to promote better communication among student-athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty and communities.
Murphy recently helped the Sun Devils to a 23rd place finish at the NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga., where she took 15th place in the 1650 free.
Murphy serves on the ASU Student-Athlete Advisory Council and is the chair of the diversity committee on that council. Murphy is also a member of the Intercollegiate Athletics Board at ASU and is serving on the ASU athletics re-certification committee. Murphy also represented ASU at a Pacific-10 forum in San Francisco this past November, which addressed issues affecting Pac-10 student athletes.

(WOAI) - This may seem personal, but seems some men don't mind talking about their underwear habits.
According to a new research study out of England, men hold onto their undies an average of 7 years. The survey also found many men don't change their underwear daily.
Only British men participated in the study.

I'm an aspiring computer programmer.
I can understand the theory behind Git, binary, turing machines, memory management, and how all the parts in a computer work together.
I help host a few webservers, and know Apache, MySQL, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Google App Engine (Python). I prefer Django's template engine over PHP and strongly believe that the database, main controller, and view code should be separate when writing a website.
I program Java and Python for fun and entertainment, and have worked with Visual Basic, C and C++
I participate in the First Robotics Competition with Team 23. Currently I'm managing the website, mainly because we are programming using LabView, which doesn't allow for collaboration very easily.
I'm familiar with Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.

The day has come! We are presenting this petition to the Invercargill City Council Tuesday 1 April at 4pm. Listen out for the response. Thank you everyone. Kind regards, Paula.
Thanks everyone who is supporting this petition.
I will close this off at midnight on Saturday ready for presentation to the council on Monday.
Let us hope and pray that the council sees sense and that no cat has been harmed as a result of this irresponsible, thoughtless statement.
Thank you.
The mayor thinks we have an issue with the actual trapping - doesn't realise it is the ACTUAL killing of the cats.
They just don't get it....
Invercargill wants to invite Gareth Morgan a verbal anti-cat hater there to hear his views about what they could do to get rid of these cats. Judging by this article in the news today - it's almost like they think it is a joke! This is just out of control.
The Invercargill City Council CEO Richard King has condoned and encouraged members of the public to trap domesticated neighbourhood cats and kill them however they want with no questions asked! The council will even supply traps for anyone wanting to catch them.
Please - Tell the Invercargill City Council that this is not okay!
These are not wild feral cats, but domesticated cats.
This is an exceptionally irresponsible statement to promote. We are going to have crazy cat haters killing cats at will, they will be tortured, injured and left to die painful deaths. Everybodys cat/bestfriend/companion animal will affectedly be fair game to the sick members of society. The perpetrators will never be punished.
A woman who lives in invercargil owns almost 40 cats. The neighbours are upset that the cats 'swarm' through their quiet neighbourhood. The law does state that the maximum number of cats you may keep is 3, but to remove the cats from this property the council will have to go to court. As this is a slow and costly process, the CEO has opened the idea for neighbours to take matters into their own hands.
Instead these cats should be removed by an animal welfare institute and humanely put down if they can not be rehomed.
The Invercargil City Council CEO needs to immediately retract and issue a statement that anybody who kills or injures these cats will be held accountable and charged to the fullest extent of the law!
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

|The thesis entitled novel 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of acyclic carbonyl ylides and related chemistry embodies the results of the investigations carried out to explore the reactivity of acyclic carbonyl ylides,generated by the reaction of dicarbomethoxy carbine and aldehydes towards dipolarophiles such as activated styrenes,1,2-and 1,4-quinones. In conclusion ,we have explored the reactivity pattern of acyclic carbonyl ylides derived from dicarbomethoxycarbene and aldehyde towards activated styrenes with a view to develop a stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives. It was also found that the ylide could be trapped by various 1,2-and 1,4-diones to form dioxolane derivatives. It is noteworthy that the cycloaddition is highly region- and stereoselective. With isatins the ylide preferentially adds to the more electrone deficient carbonyl group making it regiospecific. Hetrocyclic compounds are of pivotal importance in organic chemistry, and enormous efforts have been devoted to develop new methodologies for their synthesis. It is noteworthy in this context that, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction,otherwise called Huisgen reaction, constitutes one of the most efficient methods for the synthesis of five membered heterocycles. Among the various dipoles, carbonyl ylides have received substiancial attention in recent years largely due to their utility in the synthesis of a wide range of oxygen hetrocycles, which are often found as structural subunits of many bioactive natural products.
|A systematic investigation of the reactivity and functionalization of two heterocyclic analogs of triphenylmethane , namely tris(2-thienyl)methane and tris(2-furyl)methane have been carried out and the results are presented in this thesis entitled "NOVEL REACTIONS OF TRIS(2-THIENYL)METHANE AND TRIS(2-FURYL)METHANE.". The history of organic free radicals dates back to Gomberg's monumental discovery of the triphenylmethyl radical in 1900. The heterocyclic analogs of triarylmethane are also interesting from the vantage point of their transformation to the corresponding radicals akin to Gomberg ' s triphenylmethyl radical and also they are prone to further transformation leading to three dimensionally elongated molecules such as dendrimers. Dendritic architectures are one of the most pervasive topologies observed in nature at the macro- and microdimensional length devices. Because of their ability to combine both organic and inorganic compounds and their propensity to either encapsulate or be engineered into unimolecular functional devices , dendrimers are versatile amongst existing nanoscale building blocks and materials.
|The thesis is the outcome of the experimental and theoretical Investigations on novel feeding techniques for bandwidth enhancement of microstrip patches. The new feeding techniques provide bandwidth enhancement without deteriorating the radiation characteristics of the antenna. The antenna is analysed using finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The predicated results are compared with the experimental results and excellent agreement is observed. The results are also verified using IE3D simulation software. The antenna is suitable for personal and broadband communications.

|Submarine hull structure is a watertight envelope, under hydrostatic pressure when in operation. Stiffened cylindrical shells constitute the major portion of these submarine hulls and these thin shells under compression are susceptible to buckling failure. Normally loss of stability occurs at the limit point rather than at the bifurcation point and the stability analysis has to consider the change in geometry at each load step. Hence geometric nonlinear analysis of the shell forms becomes. a necessity. External hydrostatic pressure will follow the deformed configuration of the shell and hence follower force effect has to be accounted for. Computer codes have been developed based on all-cubic axisymmetric cylindrical shell finite element and discrete ring stiffener element for linear elastic, linear buckling and geometric nonIinear analysis of stiffened cylindrical shells. These analysis programs have the capability to treat hydrostatic pressure as a radial load and as a follower force. Analytical investigations are carried out on two attack submarine cylindrical hull models besides standard benchmark problems. In each case, the analysis has been carried out for interstiffener, interdeepframe and interbulkhead configurations. The shell stiffener attachment in each of this configuration has been represented by the simply supported-simply supported, clamped-clamped and fixed-fixed boundary conditions in this study. The results of the analytical investigations have been discussed and the observations and conclusions are described. Rotation restraint at the ends is influential for interstiffener and interbulkhead configurations and the significance of axial restraint becomes predominant in the interbulkhead configuration. The follower force effect of hydrostatic pressure is not significant in interstiffener and interdeepframe configurations where as it has very high detrimental effect on buckling pressure on interbulkhead configuration. The geometric nonlinear interbulkhead analysis incorporating follower force effect gives the critical value of buckling pressure and this analysis is recommended for the determination of collapse pressure of stiffened cylindrical submarine shells.

It also gives a brief description of the Physics of thin films, ion implantation and Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy. A brief description of the experimental setup of a photothermal deflection spectrometer and the details of the preparation and optical characterization of the thin film samples. It deals with the employment of the subgap optional absorption measurement by PDS to characterize the defects, amorphization and annealing behavior in silicon implanted with B+ ions and the profiles of ion range and vacancy distribution obtained by the TRIM simulation. It reports the results of all absorption measurements by PDS in nitrogen implanted thin film samples of Ge-Se and As-Se systems
|The thesis entitled "Synergistic solvent extraction of Thorium(IV) and Uranium(VI) with β-diketones in presence of oxo-donors" embodies the results of the investigations carried out on the extraction of thorium(IV) an uranium(VI) with heterocyclic β-diketones in the presence and absence of various macrocyclic ligands and neutral organophosphorus extractants. The objective of this work is to generate the knowledge base to achieve better selectivity between thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) by understanding the interactions of crown ethers or neutral organophosphorus extractants with metal-heterocyclic β-diketonate complexes. Para-substituted 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-aroyl-5-pyrazolones, namely,1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HPMFBP) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-toluoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HPMTP) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and H NMR spectral data. The synthesized ligands have been utilized for the extraction of thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) from nitric acid solutions in the presence and absence of various crown ethers. Thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) complexes with HPMPP(1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-pivaloyl-5-pyrazolone) and neutral organophosphorus extractants were synthesized and characterized by IR and P NMR spectral data to further understand the interactions of neutral organophosphorus extractants with metal-chelates. Solid complexes of thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) with para-substituted 4-aroyl-5-isoxazolones and crown ethers were isolated and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques to further clarify the nature of the extracted complexes.
|The thesis describes the development and evaluation of epoxy resin as interfacial bonding agent for short Nylon-6 fiber elastomer composites. Epoxy resin is well known for its adhesive property. The potential use of it as interfacial bonding agent in short fiber composite is not explored yet. Three rubbers viz., acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), Neoprene rubber (CR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) were selected and different fiber loading were tried. The resin concentration was optimized for each fiber loading with respect to cure characteristics and mechanical properties. Rheological characteristics and thermal degradation of the composites containing different fiber loading and different resin concentrations were studied in detail to find the effect of epoxy resin bonding system. The mechanical properties were studied in detail. The short Nylon -6 fiber improved most of the mechanical properties of all the three rubbers. Tensile strength showed a dip at 10 phr fiber loading in the case of CR while it was continuously increased with fiber loading in the case of NBR and SBR. All the composites showed anisotropy in mechanical properties. The epoxy resin is an effective bonding agent for short Nylon -6 fiber reinforced NBR and CR composites. Epoxy resin improved tensile strength, abrasion resistance and modulus of these composites. SEM studies confirmed the improved bonding of fiber and matrix in the presence of epoxy bonding agent. Epoxy resin was not effective as bonding agent in the case of short Nylon fiber- SBR composite. From the rheological studies of the composites with and without bonding agent it was observed that all the composite exhibited pseudoplasticity, which decreased with temperature. At higher shear rates all the mixes showed plug flow. SEM pictures showed that maximum orientation of fibers occured at a shear rate, just before the onset of plug flow. The presence of fiber reduced the temperature sensitivity of the flow at a given shear rate. Die swell was reduced in the presence of fiber. Shear viscosity of the composite was increased in the presence of resin. Die swell was increased in the presence of epoxy resin for composites at all shear rates. The thermal degradation of NBR and SBR composites with and without bonding agent followed single step degradation pattern. Thermal stability of the composites was improved in the presence of bonding agent. The degradation of virgin elastomer and the composites followed first order kinetics.

|The photoacoustic investigations carried out on different photonic materials are presented in this thesis. Photonic materials selected for the investigation are tape cast ceramics, muItilayer dielectric coatings, organic dye doped PVA films and PMMA matrix doped with dye mixtures. The studies are performed by the measurement of photoacoustic signal generated as a result of modulated cw laser irradiation of samples. The gas-microphone scheme is employed for the detection of photoacoustic signal. The different measurements reported here reveal the adaptability and utility of the PA technique for the characterization of photonic materials.Ceramics find applications in the field of microelectronics industry. Tape cast ceramics are the building blocks of many electronic components and certain ceramic tapes are used as thermal barriers. The thermal parameters of these tapes will not be the same as that of thin films of the same materials. Parameters are influenced by the presence of foreign bodies in the matrix and the sample preparation technique. Measurements are done on ceramic tapes of Zirconia, Zirconia-Alumina combination, barium titanate, barium tin titanate, silicon carbide, lead zirconate titanateil'Z'T) and lead magnesium niobate titanate(PMNPT). Various configurations viz. heat reflection geometry and heat transmission geometry of the photoacoustic technique have been used for the evaluation of different thermal parameters of the sample. Heat reflection geometry of the PA cell has been used for the evaluation of thermal effusivity and heat transmission geometry has been made use of in the evaluation of thermal diffusivity. From the thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity values, thermal conductivity is also calculated. The calculated values are nearly the same as the values reported for pure materials. This shows the feasibility of photoacoustic technique for the thermal characterization of ceramic tapes.Organic dyes find applications as holographic recording medium and as active media for laser operations. Knowledge of the photochemical stability of the material is essential if it has to be used tor any of these applications. Mixing one dye with another can change the properties of the resulting system. Through careful mixing of the dyes in appropriate proportions and incorporating them in polymer matrices, media of required stability can be prepared. Investigations are carried out on Rhodamine 6GRhodamine B mixture doped PMMA samples. Addition of RhB in small amounts is found to stabilize Rh6G against photodegradation and addition of Rh6G into RhB increases the photosensitivity of the latter. The PA technique has been successfully employed for the monitoring of dye mixture doped PMMA sample. The same technique has been used for the monitoring of photodegradation ofa laser dye, cresyl violet doped polyvinyl alcohol also.Another important application of photoacoustic technique is in nondestructive evaluation of layered samples. Depth profiling capability of PA technique has been used for the non-destructive testing of multilayer dielectric films, which are highly reflecting in the wavelength range selected for investigations. Eventhough calculation of thickness of the film is not possible, number of layers present in the system can be found out using PA technique. The phase plot has clear step like discontinuities, the number of which coincides with the number of layers present in the multilayer stack. This shows the sensitivity of PA signal phase to boundaries in a layered structure. This aspect of PA signal can be utilized in non-destructive depth profiling of reflecting samples and for the identification of defects in layered structures.

Funny SignsBy Village Mayor • Jul 22nd, 2008 • Category: Funny, Latest Post
Road signs are almost the same all around the world, but you can always notice those slight differences when you travel.
For example in Latvia, Europe, the signs are smaller then in Lithuania, maybe because they scrimp the metal.
In most of the former Soviet countries (Russia, Estonia, Armenia) road signs are more symbolic, so you can't really tell whether it is a man or a woman in a sign, whereas in other countries you can easily distinguish between them.
But let's leave the differences aside and look for unique and funny signs.
Let's start with my favorite one…
The forbidden fruit is always sweeter!
Oh really?
Well, maybe we should find another road and get into an accident there.
This one was taken by me in Cracow, Poland, after the RHCP concert. Never seen a sink for vomiting before, strange, because the bar was quite luxurious.
Yes, we can see..
This one is hilarious!
Poor animals, we don't want them to get sick, so better stay away from the fence.
I'll leave this for your own creative thoughts.
There must be a bar somewhere near this place.
Finally, a place for the people who seek an answer to this question.
Never leave children unattended!
Thank you!
Imagine reading this in case of emergency.
Oh, the fine is really big, I wouldn't dare to touch those wires..
Yes, let the church help!
A helpful sign.
Somebody must have ran out of white paint.

Return to the canning menu.
If you aren't into
major canning, form
a co-op and share the
expense among friends,
family and neighbors.
Years ago a couple of
friends and I decided
to learn how to can.
We pooled our money
and bought a brand new
canner and we
shared it for many years.
Actually it was kind
of fun getting together
and we would spend a day
canning green beans,
tomato sauce or peaches
and divide the bounty
among us.

Pressure Canner
Canning is a Science
requiring updated,tested canning recipes, specialized
equipment and accurate timing to process canned
foods for safe consumption. If you want to be creative
try painting, but don't attempt to alter safe, tested
canning recipes.
In a word - NO. Pressure cookers have less metal, are
smaller in diameter, and use less water than
pressure canners. The result is that the heat-up
and cool-down times will be less than for the standard
pressure canner. These heating and cooling times
are part of the total processing time that was determinedin lab testing to establish
a reasonable margin of safety for low-acid foods.
If the heating and cooling periods are shortened, then the process time at pressure may not be enough to destroy targeted microorganisms and provide a safe product. If the food is underprocessed, low-acid canned foods are unsafe and can result in foodborne illness, including botulism poisoning, if consumed.
During early years of canning in the 1940s, the new pressure saucepans were considered an alternative to large canners. It was thought that adding 10 minutes to the process times used by standard canners , that would be enough to keep food safe. That proved not to be the case, as pressure cookers came in several sizes and they were not all adequately tested. In addition, the way heat penetrates through food during the process is affected partly by the composition of the food, and not all foods and styles of preparation were tested back then. USDA published research in the late 1980s recommended not use pressure cookers for home canning.
Even though some manufacturers advertise their
brand of pressure cooker as acceptable for use as
a pressure canner, canning experts don't agree
Some manufacturers may offer process directions for pressure cookers. Consumers using this equipment will need to discuss processing recommendations with those manufacturers; the USDA and National Center for Home Food Preservation recommendation is to not use them for canning with our processes.
To be considered a pressure canner for USDA processes, the canner must be equipped with a wire canning rack and be able to hold at least four quart-size jars. There is no method to accurately convert processes intended for use with a regular pressure canner to ensure safety when canning in other types of equipment.
November 7, 2006, National Center for Home Food Preservation
MSU University News; August 02, 2002 -- Updating
your recipesSome people may think that any recipe can be
canned at home, but that is not the case. You cannot
whip up a batch of your favorite soup, pour it into
canning jars, drop them into a canner and then serve
it up without placing your family at risk of food
poisoning. Safe canning recipes are thoroughly evaluated
in a food testing lab where the ingredients are
tested for pH factors that will determine
the correct processing time.
are many chances for creativity in cooking, but
canning is not one of them," says Paul. Safe recipes
require testing to prevent botulism. So, even though
its tempting to try home-canning your special
soup or sauce, she encourages everyone to play it
safe and stick with tested recipes from reliable
sources. It is not safe to guess on what processing
time and pressure to use.
Sources on canning typically
very widely. Someone might still be using grandma's
high school, domestic-science textbook, copyright
1918. Maybe you have an old USDA pamphlet dating
from the 1940s or your mom's favorite heirloom recipes. Putting Food By, first published
in 1973 is also still found in rummage sales and
thrift stores. All of these sources were reputable
in their day, but they are considere4d unsafe by
today's standards. Everyone wants to know, "What's
wrong with them now?"
The USDA dramatically changed the canning guidelines
and instructions in 1989 to incorporate the current,
modern methods and improvements in food safety, so be sure
your recipes are current and dated after that year.
Food preservation is more
precise, and therefore much safer than it was years ago. The
most accurate, up-to-date, and dependable guidelines
are in the current bulletins put out by the USDA,
available free or at a small cost from your local county
extension office. Read these pamphlets carefully,
and follow their instructions to the letter.
Canning summer produce is a family tradition
for some—for others, it may be a first attempt.
But either way, creativity and canning aren't
a safe combination, says Lynn Paul, a food and nutrition
specialist at Montana State University Extension.
While many people may want to follow in the
old heirloom canning recipes used by their grandparents,
but canning requires current, tested recommendations
and the right type of equipment. These recommendations
are based on the food safety and quality, says Paul,
but safety is by far the top priority.
Finally, Paul notes that what may seem to be
a daunting list of do's and don'ts is really meant
to provide tasty and safe food. "Learn what you
need to know and have fun this summer canning your
Tomato canning recipes now require lemon juice
or citric acid because some varieties of tomatoes
may have lower acid levels than those we used in
the past. See more about acidification.
Paraffin wax seals are no longer recommended
because they will not prevent mold growth in jams
and jellies. Use canning jars with seals and lids,
and follow the directions from a recommended recipe.
Don't use microwaves for home canning, even though
you may find a few microwave-canning recipes in
magazines. Microwaves can be extremely dangerous,
especially with low-acid foods, because botulism
bacteria could survive. Other unsafe canning methods
include crockpots, ovens, dishwashers, open-kettle canning (where food
is heated and poured into jars).
Safe canning recipes include the right mixture
of ingredients, time and pressure. They require
the use of proper canning equipment for the foods being
processed. Paul only recommends recipes that have
been tested to assure safety. This testing requires
laboratory work to determine the right time and
pressure (based on altitude and pH values) to kill

College Hockey:UNO Sweeps Away Bowling Green With 4-2 Win
OMAHA, Neb. — Bryan Marshall and Jason Krischuk each had a goal and an assist Saturday night to lead UNO to a 4-2 victory and two-game sweep of Bowling Green in the opening round of the CCHA Playoffs in front of 6,016 fans at the Qwest Center.
UNO (20-12-6) advances to the second round of the CCHA Playoffs next weekend. The Mavs will travel to Marquette, Mich., to face Northern Michigan in a best-of-three series starting Friday. Bowling Green ended its season at 13-23-2.
After a scoreless first period, UNO got on the board with two goals in the second period by Marshall and Krischuk. Marshall buried a rebound while the Mavs were on the power play at the 8:50 mark. Krischuk then gave UNO a 2-0 lead four minutes later when he scored on a slap shot from the right point.
Bowling Green cut the lead in half at 4:34 of the third period when John Mazzei scored on a back hand shot from the crease. UNO regained a two-goal advantage when Scott Parse took a nifty cross ice pass from Marshall and nailed a one-timer from the left circle for his 20th goal of the season with 11:26 remaining in the game. The goal was a milestone for Parse. It was his 145th career point, making him the all-time leading scorer in Nebraska-Omaha history, passing former Maverick David Brisson.
The Falcons made it interesting in the closing minutes, getting an extra-attacker goal from Mike Falk with 10 seconds remaining, but Adam Bartholomay iced the game when he scored an empty netter with three ticks remaining on the clock.
UNO outshot the Falcons, 46-31, in the contest. Maverick goaltender Jerad Kaufmann had 29 saves while BGSU netminder Jon Horrell had 42 stops.

College Hockey:St. Lawrence Gets Split With Ohio State
Wild Second Period Key In Victory
COLUMBUS, Ohio — For St. Lawrence, Christmas came a little early.
After trailing 2-1 at the end of the first, the Saints scored two goals in the second to take the lead over the Ohio State Buckeyes and held on through a back-and-forth, up-and-down game that ended in a 5-4 SLU win, only the sixth of the season for the defending ECAC champs.
Freshman Aaron Bogosian led SLU in scoring with a goal and two assists. Bogosian's goal, the first of the night for SLU, was also the first of his career.
The win comes one night after St. Lawrence watched a two-goal lead become a 3-2 loss to Ohio State.
"I think at certain times we competed a little better, with more sense of urgency to things," said St. Lawrence head coach Joe Marsh. "I think that's always got to happen on the road. I'm particularly pleased [because] they went out and got a good start. It's always tough to win on the road."
Five different Saints — Bogosian, Jordan Hack, Jared Ross, Zach Miskovic and Casey Parenteau — tallied in the win, and John Hallas made 28 saves for his third win of the season. Hallas really earned his keep at the end of the third period, saving a point-blank shot on a Buckeyes' two-on-one.
"I was happy for Johnny Hallas," said Marsh. "He's a fifth-year guy and he's a walk-on, and he's from Florida. How many goalies are from Florida? But he's done a good job for us. He hung tough. He's a pretty resilient kid and it doesn't seem to faze him. They got four goals on him, but he seemed to be able to make a big save when we needed it."
The Buckeyes scored the first goal of the game on the first shift of the game. Corey Toy threw the puck at the net from near the blue line and Corey Elkins directed it past Hallas on the glove side for the early Buckeyes lead at 1:07.
Bogosian responded for St. Lawrence at 12:46 on a goal that wasn't called until play was stopped at 13:32. Bogosian, stationed to the right of the crease, took a pass from Hack across the front of the goalmouth and shot from point-blank range. OSU goaltender Joseph Palmer made the save, but the puck came back to Bogosian, who immediately popped it past Palmer to tie the game.
Except that the light didn't go on. And nobody stopped. And the only one celebrating was Bogosian, who quickly jumped back into the play as Matt Generous dinged one off the left post before the whistle was blown with the puck frozen along the boards.
Referee Tim Kotyra took the opportunity to review the play and ruled that it was clearly a goal.
"All the guys that were there said, 'That was definitely in, definitely in,'" said Marsh. "In our building, that wouldn't have been a goal because we don't have the review. And that was a huge goal. That was the kid's first goal. I think the big thing for it is that he worked so hard to get the forecheck goal and came from nowhere. If anybody deserved the goal, it was him in that situation."
The Buckeyes took the lead again at 18:20 on what began with a heads-up play by defenseman Shane Sims. Sims intercepted a Saints' clearing attempt at the top of the slot, fired, and hit the post. The puck bounced left to Patrick Schafer, who one-timed it past Hallas for the 2-1 lead.
The second period belonged to St. Lawrence, as Hack scored at even strength and Ross scored on the power play. Hack's goal at 2:30 was a thing of beauty, a well-placed shot from the bottom of the right circle that went up and over Palmer's shoulder to catch the sliver of open net and the top shelf. Bogosian and Jared Keller assisted, with Keller banking the puck along the right wall to Hack behind the net, Hack touching out to Keller, and Keller tipping it back to Hack in the circle.
SLU's go-ahead goal came at 15:36 after some good cycling by the Saints' on a power play, with a noticeable falling off of defensive play by the Buckeyes. Shawn Fensel played the puck along the right boards to Generous, who rifled a cross-ice pass to Ross. Ross's shot from the left point beat Palmer long and clean, giving the Saints a 3-2 lead after two.
Miskovic's third of the season was the third unanswered St. Lawrence goal of the game, making it 4-2 at 2:15 in the third on a shorthanded play set up by Hack. Hack skated in on the left and shot from along the boards, hitting Miskovic to the right of the crease for the tip-in.
Four minutes later, John Dingle answered for the Buckeyes, but at 10:28, Parenteau took a pass from Kevin DeVergilio while breaking into the slot with a full head of steam and scored without breaking stride, padding the St. Lawrence lead to two goals again.
The Buckeyes poured it on in the third period, outshooting the Saints 17-7 in the stanza and garnering a power-play goal on Tommy Goebel's blast from the bottom of the right circle at 12:39, but St. Lawrence held on for the 5-4 win.
"Obviously, disappointing," said OSU coach John Markell of the loss, the seventh home disappointment for the Buckeyes, who have just one win to their name at Value City Arena.
"We have not played at home anything like we're playing on the road, nothing like we're playing on the road," said Markell. "I don't know if they just expect it to come to them at home.
"But to come away with one win before Christmas, it's got to make some demands on you as a hockey player and what you're playing for, the crest on the front of your sweater. Because they certainly play for it on the road where they get scared and they have to stick together. They get home, and it's something, I don't know.
"I have players playing well one night, and the next night, you know…I can understand it when they're freshmen, but enough lessons learned. These kids have to learn how to play at home. Other teams get excited about coming playing here. Obviously we stole one last night and we were capable of maybe getting back and getting the tie tonight."
"Specialty teams killed us," said Markell. "A shorthanded goal against, and one-for-three on our power plays — I think it's that in a nutshell."
Next up for St. Lawrence (6-8-3, 2-4-2 ECAC) is a one-game, non-conference road trip to Vermont Dec. 15. Ohio State 5-12-1, 2-8-0 CCHA) will round out play before the holiday break with a two-game CCHA series in Fairbanks against the Alaska Nanooks, Dec. 14-15.
