Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Ed Essex
pressure canning, food preservation, living off grid, Ed Essex
ED: When I signed up to blog for MOTHER EARTH NEWS it was with the intention of sharing information with other readers of "Mother" about our off grid and homestead experiences. This article is about our experiences with reusable canning lids. Of all of the items we had in our MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR booth last June, they were the most talked about. Hundreds of questions were asked and many people just wanted to look them over and touch them to see what they were made of. Most buyers only wanted a minimum of one dozen to try out. These lids have been around for a long time but still seem to be relatively unknown to the pressure canning world.Laurie and I don't mind admitting we were inexperienced in our canning knowledge and at the same time striving to become more self sustainable in any way we could so we hope this blog will be informative to all of you out there just like us – learning to be more sustainable and trying to provide our families with homegrown safe and quality food items for years to come.LAURIE: My experience with canning was non-existent until we decided that we were going to be moving from our condo to the wilds of Eastern Washington and the Okanogan Highlands. Our nearest neighbors are about 3 miles away and the closest town is 20 miles, and being as self sufficient as possible is the name of the game out here. My Mother-In-Law was my biggest and best help getting me started with learning how to can. She grew up growing and raising all their own food and continued right up until a few years ago. I had read several books and watched some videos, but until you actually get in there and do it you really have no idea what is involved.
So, I started learning to can while we were still living in the condo. That was a great time to start to learn. If things failed and didn't work out like they were supposed to I could still walk 2 blocks to the grocery store and get what I needed for dinners. That's not the case here. We're lucky if we get off the mountain once a week now. Even doing the small amount of canning we were doing while still living in town I hated throwing away the lids. So I got on line to look up what other people were doing with their used lids. You can only make so many Christmas decorations and shiny scary things to hang in trees to scare off the birds (although they didn't seem to work for my birds). Ed had seen an ad in "Mother" for the reusable lids and we went ahead and got some to try. My first batch of canned green beans with the reusable lids did fine, but I had 3 or 4 jars that didn't seal properly, so I went back and read the instructions, followed the instructions closely on my second batch of beans and haven't had any trouble with the lids since. The method you use to can is essentially the same as with the metal lids, with just a little tweak. It has to do with allowing the jars to vent while they are being cooked and then tightening the lid while they cool down. It's nothing more than that. They come in widemouth and regular sizes and you can purchase the rubber rings separately if you should lose or damage them. So far we have not needed to replace the rubber rings. The ones we are using have held up for 3 seasons of canning, and a lot of those lids and rings have been used 2 and 3 times in the season.With all the news these days about additives and unnecessary chemicals used in growing and processing foods, (not to mention all the GMO foods that are the norm for foods in the grocery stores) canning and freezing food we have grown ourselves is what we can do to make our lives a little safer and healthier. The reusable lids are food grade and BPA free and can be used with the hot water bath or pressure canning methods.We can a lot of fish we get from the lakes nearby, much of our garden produce, and we buy fruit from the local organic orchards and can that. We raised a batch of broiler chickens and canned most of the meat. We did freeze some of them, but freezer space is limited and canning is a great way to process your meat. Canned meat will store longer than frozen meat. This next season I think we will tackle canning more meat so that our freezer doesn't get so full. Ed: Over all we have found these lids to be as advertised and anytime you can reuse something over and over again, it just has to be a good idea.Ed and Laurie Essex live off grid in the Okanogan Highlands of Washington State where they operate their websites goodideasforlife.com and offgridworks.com.

The clubs reached an agreement in May over the transfer but it took a further three weeks for personal terms to be agreed.
"Right from the very first contact I had with Paris St Germain I was very happy," the player told the club's website.

The 27-year-old arrived at Chelsea from Benfica in January 2011, but struggled to command a regular position in the centre of defence.
Ex-Blues interim boss Rafa Benitez accommodated him successfully in the holding midfield role, before Jose Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge pushed Luiz back to the fringes.
Luiz joins an expensively-assembled squad at the Parc des Princes that includes Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Brazilian team mate Lucas Moura.
Thiago Silva and Luiz were central defensive partners when the host nation kicked off the World Cup on Thursday with a 3-1 victory over Croatia.

BENTON -- In fall 2007, Scott County was one of 15 Missouri counties on the Missouri Association of Counties Self-Insured Workers' Compensation Fund's "Watch List" due to its high number of loss ratios. Those ratios led to a higher premium for the county.
Since then, in an effort to drop that ratio and improve safety in the county, commissioners have worked to establish protocol and other measures to decrease the number of workplace accidents.

Heat heavy whipping cream on stove top at medium heat, reduce heat to a simmer before cream boils. Split vanilla bean and introduce the seeds into cream while simmering.
Beat egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl with a whisk. When mixture has a consistent grainy-yellow appearance, introduce cream slowly while continuing to beat egg mixture. Be sure to do so slowly as to not prematurely cook the egg yolk. After entire mixture of cream is mixed into yolk batter, divide batter into 4 ramekins. Place ramekins into baking pan with about a ¾" deep water bath. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and bake in the over for 45-50 minutes, or until each serving is firm. If each serving is not firm, cover and let sit for 10-15 minutes in water bath, otherwise remove from pan and let cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or until ready to serve.
Prior to serving, coat top with a teaspoon of white sugar and broil in the oven for 60 – 90 seconds.

it's too late for me, save yourselves (or your author rights, anyway)
I published my first two journal articles this year and because I was a coward and had never published before and was terrified of the whole thing I just signed everything they gave me and I never negotiated for open access or any of my author rights. I need to review the contracts I signed, but I suspect they are the regular old "the journal owns everything" boilerplate.
If I had found this website sooner I might not have been so rash: http://www.arl.org/sparc/author/index.html
Not only do they provide a lovely brochure, suitable for handing out to faculty members or including in an orientation package (or as a handout at a "writing for publication" workshop?), they also provide an "Author Addendum," which would seem to make the process of negotiating your copyright much less scary:
The SPARC Author Addendum is a legal instrument that authors may use to modify their publisher agreements, enabling them to keep selected key rights to their articles, such as:
* Distributing copies in the course of teaching and research,
* Posting the article on a personal or institutional Web site, or
* Creating derivative works.
SPARC's Author Rights brochure identifies the rights faculty have as copyright holders and encourages them to retain the rights they need to ensure the broadest practical access to their articles. It explains how to use the SPARC Author Addendum and even gives tips on what to do if the publisher rejects the Addendum. It also offers specific language authors can insert in a publisher agreement when their article will be deposited in NIH's PubMed Central.
I guess it's too late for the agreements I've already signed, but should I ever publish another article I'll be using these resources.
(Found via the eIFL newsletter. eIFL encourages all authors to keep their authors' rights and to make their research available via open access agreements, because open research plays a vital role in the effort to bridge information and wealth inequity in the world.)

In my recent fit of reorganization this week, I stumbled upon a bin of Quinlan's old clothes that just so happen to fit Margot. Aside from being a domestic zero at times (hey, at least it was an actual labeled bin and not an unmarked garbage bag!), I thought that I had sent all of her toddler-sized clothes off to my best friend when we were leaving Mississippi since I secretly knew we were having a boy and probably wouldn't need the dresses and 10 pairs of pink capri pants.
But alas, my sentimental and somewhat organized side must have taken over (yes, indeed, I have one, contrary to familial belief) and there they were, my favorite dresses and outfits.
And with them came the memories, many of which are documented right here when I started this blog nearly five years ago, when Quinlan was nearly 18 months.
The same age that Margot is now.
There was the Minnie Mouse costume that she insisted on wearing at the little consignment shop in our town and refused to take off. The Easter outfit that I carefully matched to her yellow leg cast to after she decided to do a crib dive. The white dress she wore in her 2nd birthday pictures.
Not until recently has it really hit me that I have two girls. It's been "3 kids" or "Girl, boy, and baby," but lately I find myself talking about "my two girls."
And it feels good.
The sister I had but lost. The close, loving relationship my friend and her sister have that I envy. The "hand-me-down" excuse to buy more expensive girl's clothes and shoes.
And watching the similarities and differences of having two kids of the same gender unfold before my eyes.
There is something amazing about the combination of the familiar and the new, the feeling that I've somehow done this before but yet still experiencing it for the very first time.
It is the power of two.
[My husband got a new job, at least for the next few months, if you're curious about such things. Also, Amazon seems to be a bit back ordered on the Mominatrix book, so if you're looking to send it to someone for Mother's Day, order it from me - I can sign it for you and it will take about 3-5 days to get there].

Contrary to the name, Cape Disappointment does not disappoint. The name came from Lieutenant John Meares of the British Royal Navy. In 1788 he was searching for the mouth of the Columbia River and when he saw it, it appeared to only be an entrance to a bay. So he named the shallow water area where he landed, Cape Disappointment.
Fast forward to 1805 when Clark's (of Lewis and Clark fame) ship became trapped by a fierce storm in the same location for six days. Clark called this spot Dismal Nitch. These days, the nearby Nitch offers one of the best panoramic views of the Columbia River.
Outside the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, located at Cape Disappointment, the Pacific Ocean stretches out of sight. A very sensual adventure is created by the fresh smell of the sea permeating the air, cormorants gathering on a rock and a ship's horn blasting in the distance.
Below the surface of the sea lies a graveyard of as many as 2,000 sunken ships. Before the two lighthouses were built – Cape Disappointment and North Head – more than 700 lives were claimed by these treacherous waters. Sailors often experienced trouble crossing the Columbia River bar, the area where the tumultuous flow of the river rushes into the ocean waves.
You can tour the North Head Lighthouse, take a hike guided by a park ranger or picnic and swim on Washington's own Waikiki Beach. Exhibits in the Interpretive Center highlight Lewis and Clark's time exploring the Lower Columbia River and their arrival at the Pacific Ocean. Cape Disappointment State Park anchors the area with miles of trails, another interpretive display and camping sites.
The largest nearby town, Long Beach, also has a bounty of activities to pursue and some of the best restaurants in the country. Long Beach is probably best known for its annual Kite Festival.

The National Association of Manufacturers is happy that at long last, starting next month, manufacturers in the United States will obtain duty-free access to the Colombian market. Signed six years ago and passed by Congress last October, the agreement opens South America's third-largest market to us.
President Obama's announcement that the U.S. – Colombia Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will go into effect May 15th is good news for manufacturers. We have been waiting a long time, but are pleased that at last we can utilize our competitiveness and boost American exports and jobs.
Colombia's tariffs on U.S. manufactured goods are formidable, raising the cost of American products sold in Colombia by 15 percent. Now, with that disadvantage disappearing on most U.S. products next month, U.S. companies will see growing demand for their products.
Colombian exporters have long had duty-free access to the U.S. market, but it has been subject to the whims of Congress. The agreement, while not giving Colombian exporters an added price advantage, does give them and their U.S. customers certainty that import duties on Colombian products will never increase in the future.
The Colombian market for imported manufactured goods is large and growing. Last year Colombia imported $45 billion of manufactured goods. Their imports of these goods from the United States was $10 billion – giving us a 22 percent share of their import market for manufacturers. The NAM expects that share will rise as U.S. exporters recognize that this new market is available. We also call on the Commerce Department to publicize the new opportunities through its extensive network and to increase its trade promotion resources for the Colombian market.
It was a long road getting here, but rather than looking back at the reasons why it took so long, the NAM looks forward to the new opportunities for manufacturers in the United States which will help create new jobs.
Frank Vargo is vice president of international economic affairs, National Association of Manufacturers.

And Then There Were None
by Agatha Christie
And Then There Were None Introduction
In A Nutshell
Welcome! You and nine strangers have just arrived in a mansion on an isolated island, having received invitations from various acquaintances or someone named U.N. Owen. Because that's not creepy.
Anyway, bring out the glowsticks and fizzy drinks, because you are here to paaaartay. Only it looks like your definition of "party" might be just a wee bit different from your hosts. Turns out, you're actually here for a game.
A game where your life is at stake.
That's the basic setup for one of mystery writer Agatha Christie's best-known and oft-parodied works, And Then There Were None, originally titled (NSFW language) Ten Little Indians or Ten Little N*****s. (It was a different and uglier time.) One by one, each of the guests is accused of a different murder and then slowly picked off in accordance with an old nursery rhyme about "ten little soldiers."
As the characters race to figure out who among them is the culprit, we have to try to piece together the clues, red herrings, and that frustrating and creepy poem. If this all sounds like a gripping page-turner, you'd be right: And Then There Were None is a classic mystery that'll keep you on your toes and have you looking over your shoulder while you're reading it.
But it's not all fun and games. Besides the usual romp to find a killer before he finds you, the book also grapples with the idea of justice. Is it justified that someone else is killing off all these people because they (spoiler alert) committed crimes? Is it okay for someone to take justice into his or her own hands?
No wonder this book was adapted into radio almost as soon as it was published in 1939, or that there are well over a dozen film, radio, TV, and even game adaptations. Consider this: Agatha Christie has sold two-billion-plus books, putting her behind only Will Shakespeare and the Bible. Can two billion readers be wrong?
Why Should I Care?
Um, because if you're ever stuck on an island with a bunch of (possibly) murderous criminals, wouldn't you want to know how to survive?
No but seriously. And Then There Were None is one of those texts that's so foundational, you're missing out on a big chunk of pop culture if you haven't read it. (Or, ahem, at least skimmed the Shmoop learning module.) There's even a Family Guy episode called "And Then There Were Fewer" in which everyone is invited to (you guessed it!) an isolated island mansion and slowly killed off. Or take the idea of a killer who uses some kind of creepy nursery rhyme or some existing common list in order to decide the order of his or her victims—like the guy in Se7en, who tracks down victims based off of the seven deadly sins.
But you know what? You don't have to ever turn on the TV or pick up another book to enjoy And Then There Were None. Christie is a master of her form, stringing us along as we race to the end of the book to see who—if anyone—makes it out alive.
If you think that no book could be as exciting or horrifying as a movie, just try putting this one down.

2011 MLB predictions are things that you want, and it just so happens they're things I have.
As you well know, Opening Day upon us. The Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees will get things going on Thursday afternoon, and the 2011 Major League Baseball season will officially be under way as soon as C.C. Sabathia throws his first pitch.
After that, it's going to be a long and winding road, chock-full of twists, turns, and surprises. And make no mistake, nobody knows how things are going to end up.
But that doesn't mean I can't make a few educated guesses. In particular, I have notions about which teams are going to win the divisions, which players are going to contend for the MVPs (hint: Robinson Cano) and Cy Youngs, and which rookies are going to take the league by storm to capture Rookie of the Year honors, and of course, who will win the World Series.
If you're at all curious about how I see such things panning out, then all you have to do is keep it here and let me keep you posted.

Forget hybrid, try the TRI-brid [1]
Kevin Grandia [2] | September 13, 2006
By Kevin Grandia [2] • Wednesday, September 13, 2006 - 23:37
The Prius is great, but the new Brazilian-made "Obvio" [3] kicks hybrid up to the next level, the "tri"brid technology. Recently unveiled, the 3 passenger Obvio Tribrid uses hybrid technology, like the Prius, but can also run purely on ethanol fuel. According to Zap, the American distributor, these next generation commuter cars are the only US cars that can run 100% on ethanol.

Draft General Education Committee Minutes
April 18, 2005
325 Graff Main Hall
Members Present: Mary Leonard Anderson, Sandy Grunwald, Jess Hollenback, Emily Johnson (Chair), Eric Kraemer, Cris Prucha, Bruce Riley, Brian Udermann
Consultants Present: Chris Bakkum, Terry Beck, Keith Beyer, Diane Schumacher
Guests Present: Billy Clow, Deb Hoskins, Katie Lindemann
I. M/S/P to approve the minutes of 3/28/05.
M/S/P to approve the minutes of 4/04/05.
II. Announcements
A. Faculty Senate received the GEC Report and little to no comments were made at the meeting. George Cravins thanked the GEC for its hard work. Some questions arose regarding assessment and there was some concern that the outcomes were too specific. Emily's take on where to go from here is to proceed with the summer design team and to begin developing a plan for ongoing, continuous assessment.
B. The Service Learning Workshop is Friday, April 22 from 10am to 2pm in Valhalla. There are still some spots open, and Emily encouraged committee members to attend.
C. UWL reapplied for the VISTA grant for a volunteer to help coordinate service learning between UWL students and the community. The grant was approved for a second year.
III. Brief Committee Reports
A. Structure – The Structure Subcommittee did not meet last week but plans to meet tomorrow (Tuesday, April 19). The topic of discussion will be the make-up and priorities of the design team.
B. Assessment – Sandy reported that all of the classroom assessments have gone out and asked who would be willing to continue working on them in the summer.
1. Summer activities – Two teams were supported last year with a $1000 stipend for their work. Emily would like to continue that this summer and support a design team as well. She will meet with the business office to make sure enough money is available.
2. English 110 & WE – Terry Beck distributed the report from the English 110 pilot assessment done by the English Department in 2003. The WE survey is ready to go, but has not yet been sent out.
Emily reiterated how important various and ongoing assessment is and Sandy mentioned she would like to see more emphasis on embedded assessment in courses next year. One way to encourage this could be through planning some faculty development workshops early in the fall.
IV. Old Business
A. Ad hoc committee on outcomes – A fair amount of time was spent discussing the revised learning outcomes. Eric Kraemer explained that the newest revisions were the result of an attempt to make sure that a variety of faculty/departments felt represented. Cris Prucha also proposed the addition of a new "Information and Technology Literacy" category. Several members thanked the committee for their hard work. Considerable discussion occurred about what information was missing, what information was redundant, and what information was not an entirely inclusive or accurate portrayal of specific outcome areas. Emily pointed out that the work the ad hoc committee did was amazing and appreciated, but was beyond its original charge and perhaps the result of an error in direction given to the committee. The outcomes were originally designed to articulate what it is that a well educated person should look like, and not be based on courses in the current program.
The committee asked the ad hoc group to go back and rethink some wording, look again at categories, and formally invite feedback from various parts of campus. It was recommended that the invitation be accompanied by a cover sheet explaining that the focus is programmatic and outlining what the GEC feels is central to a core curriculum (the arts, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences).
Comments and/or suggestions should be sent to Eric by Monday, April 25.
B. Writing Coordinator Proposal – Terry Beck distributed a memo that recommended that GE continue to provide a ¼ release time position for the administration of General Education Writing Programs. A concern was raised that the GEC should not have to fund something that is a university-wide commitment/requirement and that perhaps the funding should come from the Provost.
M/S/P to recommend that there be a line item in the budget to create a ¼ time position established for a person to oversee Writing Emphasis/WIMP, not to come from the Innovations in General Education Fund.
V. New Business
A. University Honors Program – Chris Bakkum and Deb Hoskins presented their proposed revisions to the University Honors Program, the core of which are the problem solving and integration of knowledge learning outcomes. They asked the committee to share their thoughts on what the targeted student population should be for the Honors Program. Discussion occurred about whether or not this proposed program is in line with a "traditional" honors program. In order to give members a chance to think about what feedback they might want to give, the topic will be revisited at the May 2nd meeting.
B. Priorities for Summer Design Team – The structure team is meeting tomorrow and would like some direction about what the GEC thinks are the highest priorities that need to come in the form of recommendations for improvement in fall. A recommendation was made that the First Year Experience be a high priority. Other ideas for priorities or for faculty who could be on the team can be sent to the structure subcommittee before tomorrow's meeting.
Meeting Adjourned at 5:35pm.
Last scheduled meeting of the year is May 2.
Respectfully Submitted,
Katie Lindemann

February 26, 2007
The new Daylight Saving Time change is rapidly approaching.
The new date is three weeks earlier than in previous years. The government is making the change to hopefully save energy.
But as News 12 discovered, it's taking a lot of energy to change time.
The times are a changin'. Come March 11 at 2 a.m., office computer experts everywhere could all be sharing the same headache.
Unlike Y2K, this change came up on us a little quicker. Congress passed the law in 2005. So we didn't have as much time to update our systems--meaning none of the systems built before 2005 will update by themselves.
"None of the software that was written was written to accommodate this change, so all of the systems are going to be affected," News 12 Chief Engineer Ed Elser said.
That means places like hospitals, factories and government agencies will have to keep on top of the early change.
Corporate offices either have their own IT professionals to deal with the change or will have to contract the work out. But what about your system at home?
All you have to do if you have a Microsoft-based computer is go to www.microsoft.com and click on Daylight Saving Time and then Update. The site will take you through the update process. After you select Home Users, a couple of "nexts" and you are ready for the time change come March 11th at 2AM!
Many people use cell phones and Blackberries to schedule events. What about these devices?
"They first need to check that their phone is set to automatic updates," Kyu Han, manager of T-Mobile on Washington Road, told News 12. "If their phone is set to manual, the change or time change, it will not automatically update."
Han says phones come out of the box set for automatic updates. So unless you've set it to manual yourself, it will change for you when the time comes.
For you TiVo users, an update was sent to your system a month ago.
Again, the time change is 2 a.m. on March 11th. We'll also fall back to standard time later this year, on November 4.

BW057: Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!
Redirected from Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!
this wiki
Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita! (ズルッグとわがままゴチム! Scraggy & The Selfish Gothita) is the 7th episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
While on their way to Driftveil City, Ash and co. encounter a Gothita and its trainer, a young girl by the name of Katharine. It appears that this Gothita has taken a liking to Ash's Scraggy due to its staring and tell Katharine to have a Pokémon battle with Ash with Mandibuzz. If she wins, she'll have Scraggy for her Gothita. Will Ash agree to battle her for it?
Episode Plot
Ash and Iris have a battle. Axew tries to scratch Scraggy, who dodges and headbutts Axew. Axew scratches Scraggy, followed with Dragon Rage. Scraggy uses High Jump Kick, but Axew uses Dragon Rage, causing both Pokémon to be defeated. The heroes admit both of their Pokémon have gotten their Pokémon battling skills improved. Thirsty after the battle, Axew and Scraggy take a sip of water. Axew and Scraggy play with each other for a bit, making Ash and Iris they are best buddies after the battle is over. Suddenly, a Gothita appears, causing them to spin and bash into a rock. Scraggy leers Gothita, who simply stares at him. Gothita's owner appears, wondering what is going on.
The girl is Katherine, who is on her journey. Gothita comes to her and shows they won two badges so far. Ash shows he won two more, making Gothita a bit displeased. Axew's stomach grumbles, so Cilan makes lunch. Katharine is pleased with Cilan's cooking and tells she is heading for Nimbasa City's Gym. They advise her to go to Ferris Wheel and ride the subway as well. As Cilan explains the subway system, Gothita stares at Scraggy. Scraggy tries to headbutt it and use High Jump Kick on Gothita, who dodges and laughs at his failure. Gothita uses Psychic on Katharine to bring her close to itself. Katharine sees Gothita likes Scraggy and wants Katharine to trade one of her Pokémon for Scraggy.
Katharine proposes the idea to Ash, sending her Darumaka, Deerling and Mandibuzz as alternatives, shocking Axew. Ash refuses, wanting to trade Pokémon he already has. Gothita is displeased, so Katharine sees it wants a battle and if they win, Ash will have to trade Scraggy, making Axew scared. Ash replies Scraggy does not have much battle experience, but Katharine proposes any Pokémon will do. Ash does not want to battle, so Katharine thinks he is not even a true trainer, refusing a challenge like this, thinking he created his fake badges. Ash is annoyed and accepts her challenge, knowing he cannot lose. Gothita points at Mandibuzz, so Katharine chooses her. Ash chooses Tepig, disappointing the rest of his team.
Mandibuzz starts with Fury Attack, but Tepig dodges and retaliates by tackling her. Mandibuzz uses Air Slash, attacking Tepig, followed with Dark Pulse. Tepig dodges and uses Flamethrower on Mandibuzz. Mandibuzz uses Brave Bird, attacking Tepig and sending him in high air, while she receives recoil. Tepig tries to tackle and use Flamethrower, but misses. Mandibuzz uses Brave Bird, but gets countered and defeated by Flame Charge. Gothita is displeased and scolds Katharine, who replies Gothita will have to forget Scraggy. Suddenly, it is raining, so they all run into the nearest cabin. Seeing the rain won't stop, they decide to stay here, giving Gothita an idea with Scraggy, while Snivy senses something wrong.
During the night, Gothita wakes up and pats Scraggy, who wakes up and is told Gothita is hungry. As they go out, Axew has a nightmare Ash lost and Scraggy went with Katharine and Gothita. Axew tried to go after him, but was defeated by Gothita's Psyshock. Axew wakes up and is terrified Scraggy and Gothita are not present, so runs away, waking up Snivy as well. Gothita uses Psychic, pulling an apple down a tree. Scraggy smiles, causing Axew to be shocked. He pulls Scraggy, who is also pulled by Gothita. Pikachu wakes Ash up, who yells out the Pokémon are gone. To find them, Ash sends Tranquil and they all split to search for the missing Pokémon. Axew releases Scraggy, causing Gothita to roll away. Gothita uses Psyshock, but misses and gets blown away by Axew's Dragon Rage.
Gothita lands on a Pokémon, who releases gas, causing Gothita to run away, as it is awake. The Pokémon comes and gets leered by Scraggy. The Pokémon uses Mud Shot, but Snivy uses Vine Whip to save Axew and Scraggy. Gothita got hit by Mud Shot and retaliates using Hidden Power. Tranquil found them and reports to the heroes. The Pokémon uses Acid, but misses, so uses Mud Shot on Gothita, who dodges. The heroes arrive and see the Pokémon is Garbodor. Garbodor uses Clear Smog. Pikachu, per Ash's order, tries to convince Garbodor it was a mistake and they apologise for disturbing it. Garbodor uses Clear Smog, causing Gothita to use Psyshock, bt gets hit by Snivy's Vine Whip.
Katharine sends Deerling, who uses Aromatherapy, calming Garbodor down. Garbodor happily leaves, while the heroes tell Axew and Scraggy it was unwise to go out like that. As the heroes are to return to the cabin, Gothita wants to have a battle with Snivy, who accepts the challenge. Next day, Snivy battles Gothita. Gothita uses Psyshock, but misses. Gothita uses Hidden Power, though Snivy counters it with Leaf Storm. Snivy attacks with Vine Whip, though Gothita counters it with Double Slap. Using Leaf Blade, Snivy knocks Gothita down. Gothita uses Psyshock, but gets defeated by Leaf Storm. Gothita is upset, but Snivy has a smirk, causing Gothita to cry out and run away. Katherine follows it, bidding farewell to the heroes.
Axew and Scraggy thank Snivy for that battle. The heroes also leave, going to Driftveil City.

Last weekend I went to the mall and was overwhelmed by all the holiday decorations. Kids were taking pictures on Santa's lap, the stores were playing Christmas music, and everyone was walking around with red Starbuck's cups filled with Eggnog, Gingersnap, and Peppermint Mocha Twist Lattes.
It should come as no surprise that I love to give people beauty-themed gifts like scrumptious scented body products, luxe candles, and those awesome makeup gift sets they sell in Sephora.
What about you—do you like to get and/or give beauty presents? And more important, have you even started your holiday shopping yet?

Production Sound Mixer
Depends—are you a technical guy first or a movie lover first? If you care more about the work itself, you'll derive glory from knowing that you personally knocked it out of the park. All the audio sounds great. Everyone sounds like they're right there in the room with you. Even that guy who has a crazed look in his eye and is wielding a bloody machete. Yikes.
On the other hand, if you got into this business because you love the business itself, you're probably hoping that the projects you work on become popular or critically acclaimed, so that you can take pride in the fact you that had something to do with it. It's just a guess, but the guy who did sound mixing for Zookeeper? We think he may just have been in it for the paycheck.

A fishing vessel that caught on fire has likely sunk in the western Aleutians.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Sara Mooers says a helicopter crew could find no trace of the Western Venture during an aerial survey Monday.
The ship caught on fire Sunday, and the five crew members abandoned ship. They were picked up by a Good Samaritan vessel, the Seattle-based Aleutian Beauty, which delivered crewmen to Adak on Monday. The five crew members were expected to be flown to Anchorage on Tuesday.
Mooers says there was about 2,000 gallons of diesel reported aboard the Western Venture, and the fuel was likely consumed in the fire. The helicopter crew didn't see any sheen during Monday's flyover.
The Coast Guard continues to investigate the cause of the fire.

Genetic Factors Modify HDL Cholesterol and Lipid Levels in Diabetes
Genetic Factors Modify HDL Cholesterol and Lipid Levels in Diabetes
Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic variants that are associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) or triglyceride levels. Now, for the first time, a study has identified genetic variants that modify lipid responses to a randomized lifestyle behavior intervention in overweight or obese individuals with diabetes mellitus. The authors note that the effects of genetic factors on lipid changes may differ from the effects on baseline lipids.
RESULT: Do Genetic Modifiers of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels Also Modify Their Response to a Lifestyle Intervention in the Setting of Obesity and Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus?
Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics | Aug 20, 2013 (Free abstract. Full text $20)
These authors investigated the biological pathways and individual genes behind low HDL-C levels. They found genetic variants within inflammatory pathways and also that the expression of these pathways is upregulated in adipose tissue, according to a population-based study. The authors note that the focal point of these inflammatory pathways seems to be the HLA region, with its alleles that are associated with low HDL levels..
RESULT: Genomic, transcriptomic, and lipidomic profiling highlights the role of inflammation in individuals with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Yoseikan Budo draws its inspiration from both the traditional and modern Japanese Budo. Although it is possible to trace this line of thought back into the distant haze of antiquity, the two strongest direct influences are Jigoro Kano, the founder of [Kodokan] Judo and Morihei Ueshiba, the Founder of Aikido.
To those familiar with the thought of these two men, this may at first seem a contradiction.
Professor Kano was an influential educator, who was well read in Western as well as Asian thought. He was, of course, a strong advocate for the use of martial arts training as moral education. However, he was also firmly convinced of the value of the scientific method and strongly advocated the cultivation of a critical rationality in the study and refinement of budo. As an educator, he sought to develop a systematic curriculum for preserving and teaching the best of traditional budo in a context that would also incorporate Western modes of understanding and which would have as it's aim the training of model citizens.
Ueshiba O-sensei, on the other hand, was a mystic and an eccentric genius. His intuitive understanding of budo was incomparable, but his approach was that of the poet or holy man, not the scientist. During Ueshiba's lifetime of teaching budo, his Aikido was contantly changing, and those who studied with him during different periods often learned very different approaches.
As Ueshiba's journey of self discovery changed his understanding, he changed the budo he taught. Ueshiba increasingly became concerned that his Aikido transmit spiritual lessons which lie at deepest heart of martial arts: that the pliant and gentle ultimately overcomes the greatest strength, that conflict is wasteful and unproductive, that there is a harmonious flow in the rythmn of the universe, that, when echoed in the human spirit, enobles it. As he taught increasingly idealized techniques to demonstrate these lessons, an increasingly high level of mastery became necessary to practically apply them.
Although universal ethical concerns were of the most central importance to Ueshiba, his approach to pursuing such goals was closely tied to the idiosyncratic process of inward journey, and therefore difficult to pass on systematically in his absence.
Mochizuki studied diligently with these great teachers. Underlying his Yoseikan Budo is the fruit of his attempts to reach a synthesis of these two very different approaches. The result, in practical terms, is a system with a carefully considered structure, one which emphasizes the importance of rationality and empirical validation, but which ultimately focuses on the journey of the individual in hammering out his own authentic truth.

Scorcher SALE
Introducing the Scorcher.
Specially customized for terrorizing the neighbors, this gravel-loving rocket was created for all-terrain riding by Hunt Manley, our head builder.
Hunt's idea of fun is a 25-mile, no holds barred tear through city, country, back alleys, stairways, mountain bike trails, gravel roads, mud, cobblestones, a skinny-dip pitstop at Hobo Beach, and back home for a shot of Bulleit before sunset.
This bicycle is bullet proof, fast, and ridiculously fun to ride.
Featuring gravel-loving Racing Ralph knobby race tires (made in Germany) and inverted titanium handlebars that position the hands low for aggressive riding. Bomb-proof USA-made componentry, and our titanium handlebars and seatpost.
Quiet and clean carbon belt drive lasts virtually forever, weighs just 80g, and won't get your pants dirty. Available Shimano Di2 or Rohloff internal transmission offers your choice of electronic shifting and up to 14-speeds with a massive 526% gear range.
We love the Scorcher best when its painted a deep matte Gunpowder Grey, making it marginally harder to see you when you buzz the tourists in Crown Heights at dusk.
Skinned knees optional.

Dalli defends canvassers' role of middlemen
Former European Commissioner John Dalli has defended the practice of allowing canvassers to act as middle-men with international lobbyists, insisting that no money is transacted in these liaisons.
In an interview published in The Times today he also discloses that many more Maltese canvassers took on this role after they were approached by foreign organisations to facilitate access to the former Commissioner.
"I have many other people in Malta, who have international organisations asking them to fix appointments with me. This is not just Silvio Zammit doing it, because it seems that people think that you have to go through someone to go to the Commissioner."
About his relationship with Mr Zammit, Mr Dalli said: "Silvio Zammit is a canvasser like many hundreds of canvassers that I have. That is my relationship with him. (With him)... I have the contact I have with other canvassers. When they need something and when they have some friend who needs something... It's the usual political game in Malta.
"The question is at the heart of the scandal that Mr Dalli has found himself sucked into after an investigation by the EU anti-fraud agency, Olaf, concluded that Maltese businessman Silvio Zammit asked for a bribe from snus producer Swedish Match to be able to influence legislation under Mr Dalli's portfolio.
Mr Dalli has strenuously denied this, challenging Olaf to publish the report. Mr Zammit also denied the allegation but has refused to comment on any mater related to this case after he released a brief statement with his denial.
Brussels accepts lobbying as a legitimate part of the political game, however, lobbyists as a practice are registered for the sake of transparency.
Mr Zammit was not and Maltese people acting as middlemen usually are not, Mr Dalli admitted.
Moreover, the exact parameters of lobbying have been called into the question following this case.
Asked if dealing with such unregistered middlemen, whose only qualification is likely to be access to him, Mr Dalli said insisted that similar meetings made over the past two-and-a-half years were done transparently.
"I have other people who have contacted me over the past two-and-a-half years, in the most transparent way, and asked me to have meetings with people and I did. So what?"
He also excluded that these would make themselves available for money, arguing instead that they are more likely interested in deriving satisfaction from the important position it puts them in."I would be such an evil mind to think that for someone to set up a meeting he would take money. All I say is that it usually is a feeling of importance (that these canvassers seek)."

Dimitar Berbatov's move to Manchester United last year was met with great excitement from the fans. In North London he had established himself as one of the best strikers in the league and his graceful play drew comparisons with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. His first season at United was unspectacular but he made an important contribution in the middle of the season to secure key wins for United in the league. Despite this, he has yet to live up to the £30.75million price tag. This season he has only scored 4 goals and with rumours escalating about United making a possible move for Edin Dzeko, could Sir Alex Ferguson be giving up on the Bulgarian.
At the beginning of the season, United switched back to a traditional 4-4-2 formation with Berbatov and Rooney forming the strike partnership. On paper, these two players should be able to make magic happen, both are technically superb with great vision, but it hasn't quite worked out. While Rooney has started strongly, Berbatov's performances have been lacklustre in the main. He is still criticised for his poor work-rate and has found himself on the bench for recent games as United have switched back to a 4-3-3 with Rooney as the lone striker. It has been theorised that Sir Alex Ferguson is reluctant to purchase a big-name striker for fear that it will dent Berbatov's confidence further if the Bulgarian feels his manager has lost faith in him, but the growing speculation surrounding Dzeko suggests that Ferguson may be losing patience with Berbatov.
The Bulgarian is a lavishly talented footballer who has an incredible first touch, but United fans have only seen glimpses of his greatness and he has failed to produce good performances on a regular basis. This lack of consistency is a worry and Michael Owen's hat-trick against Wolfsburg puts increasing pressure on the former Spurs man. If United switch back to a 4-4-2 in the next game, Ferguson would have a difficult choice as to whether he should start Owen ahead of the temperamental Berbatov.
I would not classify Berbatov as a flop at United, but he hasn't had the impact that he should have had, the fact that he was on the bench for the Champions League Final says a lot about his importance to the side. Ferguson may be slowly losing patience with the player but he is likely to be given more chances; it is not easy to own up to a £30.75million mistake. But if by the end of this season, if Berbatov hasn't become more productive, his future at United may not be so secure.
'could SAF be giving up on the bulgarian'
we can only hope. the majority of match going fans see him for the talented but ultimately misfit and not the right mentality for the club. hope he leaves in the summer.
he slows down our attack as well. look how freely we have been scoring without him in the team
if we can get dzeko for berbatov, i will drive berbatov to the airport.
Berbatov is a fantastic players and is actually playing great at United. You can check the players ratings after the games – he is always rated as one of best players! United should first resolve the problems with some of the not-so-good players, and not worry too much about Berbatov – who is clearly one of the top performers when he plays.
I would rather see us give more chances to Mahceda and Wellbeck than bring in a 23 year old at that cost! And Berba is very very good. He may not be the headless chicken that Tevez was or the goal machine that Ruud was, but he does bring in so much more composure to our game. Fantastic footballer!!!
Was this article written a year ago, or have you just npt seen a match since september 2008?
I personally enjoy every toch that man gets on the ball during a match. He is our no. 1 peerformer when it comes to holding the ball and creativity in attack. Your footballing brain must be somewhat underdeveloped for you to slate him like this.
Berba has been great this season and is always an interesting player to watch. He got club player of the month for October and then has been injured for most of the time since. I think the detractors either only watch the highlights, judge players purely on goals, or have that blinkered English view that a player isn't good unless he runs around like a headless chicken =\

James Holmes Will Wear Harness During Trial
(AURORA, Colo.) -- Authorities are taking no chances when Aurora, Colo., movie theater shooting suspect James Holmes is tried next February.
Judge Carlos Samour Jr. ruled on Thursday that the 25-year-old defendant, accused in the shooting deaths of 12 people and wounding 70 others, must wear a harness due to the violent crimes he has been charged with.
When Holmes' attorneys argued that shackling Holmes to the floor would sway the jury's opinion, Samour said the anchoring cable will be hidden under his clothes and affixed to the floor.
Holmes won't be wearing the orange prison uniform he's been seen in since first being charged last July with 166 counts of murder, attempted murder and other offenses.
Earlier this month, Samour accepted Holmes' plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, a move that could spare him the death penalty.

Solutions for Chapter 14.1
The committee is a group which is made of people who are working under this committee outside their regular job assignment, with a definite focused job responsibility. Again, the task forces engage people on a common temporary issue, for small time period (it's not continuing). Thus, with short deadlines, the committee would not be able to perform, as it is a continuous process being addressed to by the committee). However, the task forces may find it better with short dead-line because that may help them to achieve the targets quicker. But, in that case, the deadline tenure should be a judicious one so as to allow a good execution of the job.
