Xylan extraction from corncob is done by using alkaline as solvent. Xylan extraction from corncob could give the yields as 10.9%. One percent of corncob xylan is used as substrate to produce the xylanase, compared to oatspelt xylan.
Immobilization of xylanase was performed using 1% EudragitTM S100 solution (w/v), with 5:1 volume ratio of xylanase and 1 % EudragitTM S100 (w/v). Activity of the immobilized xylanase was decreased to 23.97% compared with free xylanase. Immobilized xylanase have optimum pH and temperature at 6.0 and 40°C respectively, have also thermal stability at 30–40°C for an hour. Immobilized xylanase could be reused, but its activity decreased to 52.38% after 3 times application.

The objectives of this research were to modify arrowroot starch to produce resistant starch type III by autoclaving-cooling cycling and to characterize the modified arrowroot starches according to their chemical properties. The research consisted of three steps : arrowroot extraction, starch modification, and chemical characterization. The extraction of arrowroot produced 10.78% starch. Starch modification by autoclaving-cooling cycle(s) was run in 6 different treatments with the aim of observing optimal yield of resistant starch. Resistant starch (RS) was produced through 1, 3, 5 cycle(s) of autoclaving-cooling treatment with different gelatinization periods (15 and 30 minutes autoclaving) for each cycle. Properties analyzed were starch digestibility, fat content, protein content, resistant starch content, and dietary fiber content. Native starch and commercial RS type III (Novelose 330) were also analyzed as a comparison.
Based on the starch digestibility, modified starch from 5 cycles, 15 minutes gelatinization period had the lowest digestibility while modified starch from 3 cycles, 15 minutes gelatinization period had no significant difference with commercial RS type III. Those two modified starches, native starch, and Novelose 330 were chosen for further chemical analysis. The fat content and protein content of the four samples were below 1% (db). Low fat and protein content were required to optimize the RS yield. The modification treatment increased the dietary fiber content. The RS content of native starch, Novelose 330, modified starch 3 cycles, 15 minutes gelatinization period, and modified starch 5 cycles, 15 minutes gelatinization period were 2.12% (db), 20.80% (db), 10.91% (db), and 12.15% (db), respectively. It means that repeating autoclaving-cooling cycling could increase RS yield up to 6 times.

Acute toxicity of angkak had been tested on 2 months aged male Sprague-Dawley white rats. Twenty five rats were divided into 5 groups; control, 2.5 g/kg body weight (bw), 5 g/kg bw, 10 g/kg bw and 15 g/kg bw, and each group was administered by angkak in water orally. The toxic effect of angkak to liver and kidney were tested by biochemical analysis for the activity of enzyme alanin amino transferase (ALAT/ EC 18.104.22.168), enzyme aspartate amino transferase (ASAT/ EC 18.104.22.168) and the level of urea in blood at one day before (H-1) and after (H+1) the treatment, as well as 6 days after the treatment (H+6). The mortality rate and clinical symptoms were observed after 24 hours until 6 days after treatment. The rats were necropsied to observe the lesion of liver and kidney both macroscopically and microscopically.
The result shows that all rats still survived since 24 hours to 6 days after the test. During the treatment with ad libitum rat chow contained 18% protein, the body weight of the rats were unsignificantly increased (P>0.05). There were no changed of the appetite, eyes condition, fur, and behaviour of the rats. However, the feces of the rats which were treated with angkak are reddish. The activity of ALAT, ASAT enzyme as well as the urea level in blood were significantly increased as shown on H+1 compared to H-1 within all treatment groups, after that there were no significant changes in those parameter on H+6 compared to H+1. The histopathological result due to angkak on kidney shows less lesions and these lesions were reversible.

Processes such as slicing tomato fruits disrupt the plant tissue so the products become more perishable compared with the intact fruit. Ethylene production is stimulated during the slicing of fresh cut tomato slices. Experiments were conducted to investigate if ethylene absorbent and exogenous ethylene influences the quality of tomato slices cv. 'Revolution' during storage at 5°C. In the experiment of ethylene absorbent, experiment was laid out in a completely randomised design. The treatments were plus 10 g and minus ethylene absorbent (KMnO4; PurafilÒ; 5°C for 12 d). In the experiment of ethylene concentrations, experiment was laid out in a completely randomised design. The treatments were exogenous ethylene concentrations of 0 (control), 0.1, 1 or 10 mL L–1 respectively (5°C for 6 h). In both experiments, the treatments were replicated 5 fold. Results showed that ethylene absorbent resulted in reduced ethylene accumulation, and CO2 accumulation in enclosed containers, and firmer slices. Ethylene applied 2 days after slicing stimulated the rate of ethylene production, CO2 production, and produced softer slices during storage. Changes in soluble solids concentration and titratable acidity development were independent of ethylene effects. These experiments showed that ethylene produced by slicing or introduced exogenously had an undesirable effect of accelerating softening of tomato slices.
Key words: sliced tomato, ethylene.

In this research, resistant starch content of crackers (=kerupuk) made of corn starch, cassava starch, sago starch and mungbean starch has been studied. Nutritional evaluation of crackers was conducted in experimental rats. It was found that starch content, amylose content and resistant starch content of sago starch were the highest, while those of mungbean starch were the lowest.
Bioassay with rats revealed that starch flour diets had no effect on the water content of digesta, but these diets increased the weight, volume, concentration and pooled of the short chain fatty acid (SCFA) of digesta and decreased pH of digesta especially in rats fed sago crackers. Molar ratio of acetate and propionate were highest in rats fed sago crackers, while molar ratio of butyrate was highest in rats fed cassava crackers, therefore it has positive effect on human colon health.

Effect of CaCl2 soaking and edible film coating to delay or inhibit chilling injury of freshly-cut jackfruit has been studied. The onset of chilling injury was monitored based on sadden increase of ethylene emission as measured on-line using CO2-laser driven photoacoustic spectrometer.
Freshly cut edible part of ripe jackfruit was used as the research material. The fruit was soaked in 0%, 1%, 1,5%, 2% of CaCl2 for 15 minutes. After rinsing, sample were divided into two parts each for edible coating and control. The edible film was prepared by soaking of the samples for 30 seconds in solution of white bean (Phaseolus lunatus, L.) edible coating, which was derived from our previous research. The samples were devided into two parts for destructive and non destructive analysis. Both were then stored at 4oC for 3 days, at which time the normal fruit suffer from chilling injury. For the non-destructive analysis, the samples were individually put in special cuvet and a flow-trough air system was connected to each cuvet for on-line ethylene monitoring. Data of real-time ethylene emission were collected automatically every 120 minutes during the three day cold storage. The other set of samples were put in a plascic bag and stored at 4oC for 3 days period. At the end of cold stored, the samples were let to adjust to room temperature for 1 hr before subjected to respiration rate, reducing sugars, total acidity, and texture analysis.
Result indicated that soaking with CaCl2 and edible film coating of freshly-cut jackfruit delayed the on-set of chilling injury as indicated by late increase of ethylene emission. Based on pattern of ethylene emission during the three day storage and their respiration rate, the best treatment to delay chilling injury of fresly-cut jackfruit was soaking in CaCl2 2% in combination with edible film coating.
Key word: Jackfruit, CaCl2, ethylene, cold storage, chilling injury, photoacoustic spectrometer

Fall 2013 The Knowledge Stream: Climate Issue
Scientists have warned us that a warming atmosphere can lead to longer and more intense droughts. But they have also said that a warmer atmosphere carries more water, potentially producing more intense rainfall. Can we really expect declining snowpack, longer droughts, AND more extreme storms in the West? This Fall 2013 edition of the Knowledge Stream describes Reclamation's dynamic collaboration with climate scientists and water managers from many agencies to help answer these questions and better manage our water projects in the face of changing climate averages and climate extremes.
Providing Climate Analysis Training for Water Planning Professionals
Reclamation helped developed a pilot training program with online course for self-paced training and a set of subsequent residence courses where students will apply what they learned through the online training.

If you think that animal experiments are essential to saving human lives, it's time to think again. Each year billions of dollars and millions of animals are used in cruel, wasteful and irrelevant research that has little to nothing to do with advancing human health.
The American public should be outraged by this inhumane and fraudulent use of animal life. Which is why IDA has created the "Outragies Awards" to highlight the bogus use of animals in cruel, repetitive and wasteful research.
Awarded to the "Top Ten Most Outrageous Animal Experiments," the awards, based on publications released in 2012, highlight stupid, cruel and truly outrageous research, like inflicting suffering on baby rats to study "child abuse," (Most Outrageously Heartless), giving hallucinogenic drugs to monkeys to create an animal "model" of schizophrenia, (Most Outrageously Superfluous), and hanging mice upside down by their tails to study "depression." (Most Outrageously Depraved).
Honestly. You can't make this stuff up. One experiment pumped nicotine into pregnant mice to demonstrate that – surprise – the babies had lung damage. We gave that one the Most Outrageously Inexcusable Award.
The Most Outrageously Cruel award went to scientists who took tiny newborn monkeys, as young as two weeks old, and exposed them to open brain surgery for four day procedures before killing them. They claim they are tracing the pathways of visual nerve cells. And if that's not upsetting enough, these kinds of experiments on monkeys have been going on in this very lab for nearly 25 years.
When does it stop? The junk science highlighted in IDA's Outragies Awards should serve as a wake-up call to the American public, and to legislators. The billions of dollars poured into animal experiments constitute a crisis in fiscal irresponsibility, and an outrageous betrayal of people and animals.
They say knowledge is power. Hopefully the more we can inform the public and expose this atrocity – this outrage – the closer we'll come to seeing it ended.

AAJ's Guide to NYC Jazz Venues in the New Decade
It took us nearly a decade to cover the venues that feature jazz throughout the city, certainly more than can be summed upmuch less revisitedin the space of an article, so after a profile of some of the venues that have disappeared in the last decade and a few that have disappeared only to reappear, this feature will continue in February with a look at the Manhattan scene; in March with a look at jazz' limited, but growing presence in Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx and finally with the ever-growing Brooklyn scene in April.
One constant in a sea of change is the preeminence of The Village. The '00s saw the mass migration of artists from Manhattan to the outer boroughs, namely, Brooklyn. And while a close look at the venues this paper has covered charts that eastern course, it seems that the multitude of smaller, often musician-run spaces that dot Brooklyn's diverse neighborhoods have yet to steal the crown from the downtown clubs that draw the crowds and form a scene that has been a jazz Mecca for more than half a century.
"I believe in New York City, the old New York City," intoned Smalls co-owner Lee Kostrinsky while working the door on a recent night. "I am actively trying, with my partners Spike Wilner and Mitch Borden, to keep New York what it was, which is a place for jazz, a place for poetry." Kostrinsky acknowledges the Brooklyn exodus but sees chain drug stores and government intrusion as more of an existential threat. "I'm a little concerned about the corporate takeover, the banks and pharmacies and just the sterilization that's going on. For me, it's a political thing, but I don't wear it on my sleeve: it's just jazz."
Perhaps more than any other, the story of Smalls illustrates the turbulence of the last decade. 9/11 was a horrific milestone for every American and a common factor that emerged in interviews at venues throughout the city. For Smalls and many others, it marked the symbolic end of a freewheeling era, where young and old musicians came together to play until dawn and rents in Manhattan remained within reach. Closing in 2004 after a decade, the beloved club seemed another victim of gentrification before reopening in 2006 with the same ethos and a liquor license. "Things have changed," remarked Kostrinsky. "We have to close at 4am instead of 10, the space has changed a little bit, but the vibe is still the same."
Of the 92 venues covered, 9 have since closed permanently, among them the venerated Tonic, which went out in the spring of 2007 with a march on City Hall and the brief arrest of guitarist Marc Ribot who refused to leave as police officers served eviction papers. Another is CB's Lounge, which went down with the CBGB ship in October 2006 to make way for a John Varvatos store, a highly-publicized victim at the height of the Bowery's gentrification. Most venues, however, melt quietly into obscurity, among them Sweet Rhythm and Kavehaz in Manhattan, Up Over Jazz Cafe in Brooklyn and EZ' Woodshed in Harlem.
In Brooklyn, relatively lower rents and larger spaces have kicked off a renaissance that will be covered in the April issue, but have not added any sense of permanence. Trumpeter Ralph Alessi's Center for Improvised Music left its space in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn to hold workshops at Long Island University, while the musician-run Douglass Street Music Collective moved in to continue presenting creative music in the space.
Artist and producer Suzanne Fiol joined the emigration out of the East Village in the early '00s to establish her Issue Project Room in a converted silo on the banks of the Gowanus Canal. When I interviewed her in October 2007, Issue Project Room had just moved to its current home at The (OA) Can Factory building a few blocks from the silo after a rent dispute forced them to look for a new home. Fiol was happy with the new spaceespecially after an emotionally charged performance by saxophonist Matana Roberts in the acoustically rich roombut wary after a third move.

Report: Hundreds of Youths in Adult Prisons - The Texas Tribune, March 24, 2011
AUSTIN, Texas, March 24, 2011 -- LBJ School Senior Lecturer Michele Deitch has published a new report titled Juveniles in the Adult Criminal Justice System in Texas (LBJ School of Public Affairs, 2011). The report provides a comprehensive look at Texas's methods for dealing with the state's most serious juvenile offenders. It gathers all available Texas data with respect to certified juveniles—those youth who are transferred to adult criminal court—and compares them to the population of determined sentence juveniles who are retained in the juvenile justice system. The report also compares the significant differences in programming and services for the two populations of juvenile offenders—those who get sent to adult jails and prisons, and those who receive placements in the Texas Youth Commission (TYC).
The report and its findings are especially timely during the Texas Legislature's ongoing effort to reform and restructure the state's juvenile justice system.
Among the report's most significant findings about juveniles transferred to the adult system are these:
- Minimal differences exist between certified juveniles in the adult criminal justice system and determinate sentence juveniles in TYC, except for county of conviction.
- Certified juveniles do not represent the "worst of the worst"—they are neither more violent nor more persistent in their criminal behavior than those retained in juvenile court and sent to TYC.
- While the large majority of certified juveniles have committed violent offenses, only 17% have committed homicide.
- About 15% of juveniles transferred to adult court are charged with non-violent felonies, including state jail offenses.
- 72% of certified juveniles do not have a prior violent criminal history,
- 29% of certified juveniles are first-time offenders.
- 89% of certified juveniles have never been committed to TYC, indicating that most certified youth have never had the opportunity to benefit from effective rehabilitative programs in the juvenile justice system, such as TYC's highly regarded Capital and Serious Violent Offenders Program, which has a 95% success rate.
The report also examines what happens when juveniles are housed in adult prisons and jails in Texas. National research shows that housing juveniles in adult prisons and jails compromises both public safety and the personal safety of the youth. Juveniles housed in adult prisons and jails face vastly higher risks of suicide, sexual assault, physical assault, and mental illness, and they have been shown to have a 100% higher risk of violent recidivism.
In Texas, juveniles as young as 14 who are certified as adults and awaiting trial are sent to adult county jails, where they can languish in isolation for periods of a year or more. Adult jails are simply ill-equipped to house juveniles safely. And if they are convicted, they are sent to adult prison, where the therapeutic programming and educational opportunities are very limited compared to the services that would be available to them in the juvenile system. What's more, roughly 32% of the juveniles in Texas prisons are not provided with any specialized programming at all or even sheltered housing—they are either co-mingled with adult offenders or are housed in 23-hour a day solitary confinement.
Professor Deitch's report offers a number of policy recommendations to better serve the needs of serious juvenile offenders in Texas and to protect public safety through improved outcomes.
This new report is a state-specific follow-up to Deitch's previous report titled From Time Out to Hard Time: Young Offenders in the Adult Criminal Justice System (LBJ School of Public Affairs, 2009). The earlier publication provided national data and research on very young children who get tried as adults, and garnered national media attention for its findings.

A concise introduction to the Western tradition in art.
Janson's Basic History of Art provides readers with a beautifully illustrated and masterfully concise introduction to the Western tradition of art history. The text centers discussions around the object, its manufacture, and its visual character. It considers the contribution of the artist as an important part of the analysis.
This edition creates a narrative of how art has changed over time in the cultures that Europe has claimed as its patrimony and that Americans have claimed through their connection to Europe. Janson's Basic History of Western Art continues to maintain separate chapters on the Northern European Renaissance, the Italian Renaissance, and the High Renaissance, with stylistic divisions for key periods of the modern era.
The 9th edition brings some exciting changes. For the first time, Janson's Basic History of Western Art comes with MyArtsLab, which provides students with an interactive learning experience. Also, the text incorporates new learning objectives, graphics, and maps throughout. In response to reviewer's requests, this new edition expands the coverage of Islamic art into its own chapter.
MyArtsLab is an integral part of the Davies et al, program. Key learning applications include, Art 21 and Studio Technique videos, 360-degree architectural panoramas and simulations and Closer Look tours.

Welch, Shari J. MD
Dr. Welch is a fellow with Intermountain Institute for Health Care Delivery Research, an emergency physician with Utah Emergency Physicians, and a member of the board of the Emergency Department Benchmarking Alliance. She has written two books on ED operational improvement; the latest, Quality Matters: Solutions for the Efficient ED, is available from Joint Commission Resources Publishing.
Patients who present to the ED are older, sicker, and more complex than they were 20 years ago. As U.S. demographics change over the next decade, they will get even older and sicker, and we will do more for them in the emergency department.
This will continue to result in more critical care being provided in the emergency department, requiring one-on-one physician care at the bedside and often an entire team of nurses, technicians, and other staff. Though many career emergency physicians enjoy delivering critical care in the emergency department, it always involves a cost to the department at large. The typical emergency department operates as a zero-sum game. If personnel are delivering critical care in Room 1, they are not tending to 25 other patients. As ED lengths of stay have increased and boarding patients continues to be a problem, this critical care becomes a drain on emergency department resources.
Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City developed a new protocol called ED-ICU Priority One to cope with this issue. The tertiary care trauma center sees 75,000 ED visits each year. Overall length of stay is 225 minutes, and length of stay for admitted patients is 300 minutes. After spending more than four hours caring for a critically ill patient with septic shock, Steven Souter, MD, a 20-year emergency physician decided to tackle the problem.
He met with intensivists, nurses, managers, and administrators, and led a process change that enables the emergency physician to expedite the admission process of critical care patients. Following the Rapid Response Team Model used so successfully elsewhere, a simple process was developed. When a patient meets critical care criteria, an ED-ICU Priority One is called. Critical care sends a team to the ED to accept the handoff (face-to-face communication) and transport the patient to the ICU. The admission process is expedited to the good of the patient and the emergency department.
The process model has been successful, an example of how process improvement occurs by innovation at the front line, not by committee. It also shows how one committed individual organizing a team of stakeholders can move an institution. The results: Length of stay for Priority One patients was under 60 minutes (previously 300 minutes). The ED-ICU priority call triggers are simple: intubation, respiratory extremis with intubation pending, hypotension, pressors, lactate greater than 4 mmol/L, and physician discretion. The emergency physician decides which ICU is appropriate for the patient, arranges a brief conference call with a critical care attending by calling a special beeper, Priority One is activated by an overhead page, and the ICU team is deployed to the ED.
This improvement initiative is also an example of how change management techniques can be used to roll out a new process. As the process was being developed by a task force of stakeholders, physicians and staff were brought on board with email updates and information at staff meetings. The whole project was short and focused. Before full-scale rollout of the change, the protocol was tested in the ED to look for process flaws. This is a step often skipped when improvement projects and change are being introduced. By running a trial, glitches in the process can be identified before they sink the change, and feedback was given to staff as the process details were reworked. When the process had been refined by the team, it was rolled out with much fanfare, including announcements at department meetings, emails, posters, and the distribution of laminated cards and magnets scattered around the department for rapid reference. These reminded staff how to activate the protocol. From inception to execution, Dr. Souter, his team, and Intermountain Healthcare carried out this improvement project flawlessly.
The process is streamlined and simple, and provides the best care for the patients while decreasing the critical care burden on the ED. It is also an example of how one committed individual can lead a small team through change and improvement and eventually move the institution.

I have a pair of these and love them.
As far as LV shoe selection. Overall I think they are over-priced and don't have much to choose from. 90% of there shoes are black.
Not the best quality shoes in the world but they do a few nice designs that you wouldn't usually see. I own a pair but find them very narrow
Improbable. LVMH and Hermes aren't too found of each other.


text: I think I know the answer I just want some confirmation: My baby girl is 6 weeks old. Since coming home from the hospital she slept a 6 hour stretch every night. At about 1 month she started sleeping 8 hours every night. For the last week she's been going about 9 hours. This means that during the day I'm doing six 20 minute feedings (roughly every three hours). Her weight gain is still good, my milk production is still good, wet and dirty diapers are still good. Should I be concerned that she's not getting more food? She naturally wakes up for a three hour feeding, but should I wake her up for 2 1/2 hour feedings? Help!

Hamlin Wins Kansas!
Denny Hamlin patiently raced inside the top five all day and then when the moment was right made the move to the front of the field to bring home the win in today's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series STP 400 at Kansas Speedway. Meanwhile all three JGR teams would earn top 15 finishes, with Hamlin's teammates Kyle Busch and Joey Logano coming home 10th and 15th respectively.
[nggallery id=87]
Hamlin started the No. 11 FedEx Ground Toyota in the fourth position and remained in the top five through the early portion of the race. Hamlin was able to lead a lap as the field cycled through the first round of green flag pit stops and he had climbed into second as the race hit the 100-lap mark. From there he would remain in the top three for the majority of the race and would restart second following the day's final caution on lap 187. A tremendous final pit stop by the FedEx crew under green flag conditions would close the gap to the leader by more than a second. Hamlin would take advantage of it and make the pass of Martin Truex, Jr. for the lead with 31 laps remaining. The 56 Toyota would make a late charge to regain the lead, but Hamlin managed to hold him off and claim his second win of the season.
With the victory, the No. 11 has won more races in NASCAR history than any other car number as it passes the No. 43. Denny Hamlin has 19 of those 199 wins.
Busch started the No. 18 M&M's Toyota in 25th and managed to work his way up into the top 15 through the first third of the race despite battling handling issues while driving in traffic. Busch would remain just outside the top ten for much of the race as tight conditions continued to plague his momentum. With long green flag runs the M&Ms crew didn't have as many opportunities to work on the car as normal, but the No. 18 Camry would begin to turn better as Busch managed to move into the top ten late in the race. He would go on to finish 10th.
Logano qualified the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota third, but was forced to drop to the back of the field for the green flag after the team made an engine change at the start of Friday's first practice. The setback did little to bother Logano however as he quickly drove up through the field and gained 15 positions within the first 10 laps. As the race hit lap 100 Logano was competing for a spot in the top 20. Unfortunately with long green flag runs he would fall a lap off the pace from the leaders. The Home Depot team kept improving however and when a caution finally came out on lap 187 Logano was in position for the lucky dog spot to get back on the lead lap. He would make the most of the opportunity over the final run, gaining several positions to finish 15th.
Martin Truex, Jr. finished second to Hamlin, while Jimmie Johnson was third, Matt Kenseth fourth, and Greg Biffle rounded out the top five. There were only three cautions for a total of 18 laps with 14 lead changes among nine different drivers.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Richmond for the STP 400 next Saturday night with live broadcast coverage by Fox starting at 7 PM ET (race begins at 7:30 PM ET). Sirius NASCAR radio channel 90 and MRN Radio will also provide live coverage. You can also keep track of all the action by following @joegibbsracing.

- 2kg red onions or regular onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 140g butter
Butter is made when lactic-acid producing bacteria are added to cream and churned to make an…
- 4 tbsp olive oil
Olive oilol-iv oyl
Probably the most widely-used oil in cooking, olive oil is pressed from fresh olives. It's…
- 140g golden caster sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaf
- pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
- 75cl bottle red wine
- 350ml sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 200ml port
Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they're really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don't rush this part.
Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds. It's done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.

I was so disappointed with this recipe - I followed it closely but the liquid took hours to cook off the onions and then they were far to cooked to add the wine,vinegar etc... and still very fatty...
I have had to freeze the cooked onions to use for something else.
A complete waste of time and effort.
Rating zero stars
I made this over the 2010 Christmas Period and it went down a storm with family and friends. I must say I put more chilli flakes than suggested which gives it quite a bite which everybody seemed to like, and I also left out the butter, very popular even if it does take a while to make, will be making quite often I think.
When I finished making this I was a bit disappointed as the onions reduce down to practically nothing and I only had enough to fill one and a half jars. However I have just sampled it for the first time with cheese on toast and it is absolutely delicious. So well worth the effort and I'd make a much bigger batch next time!
Have just made this marmalade. I really like the look of it and although it did take a lot longer to cook than stated, it tasted grand!! I shall give an update tomorrow as the proof of the pudding is in the eating!! Am cooking a 4 course meal tomorrow and for the first course I am serving the marmalade with my chix liver pate. I am soo excited!!! I wish I could post a piccie because I have great designs for this meal and would to share!! Thanks for the recipe!
I finished making this last night, it took hours - at each stage. I have tasted the finished result and it is very acidic, too strong to eat! I didn't have any port so added a splash of sherry and I put less vinegar in so not sure how I have this taste to it.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can save it? I've made 4 jars that I was going to put in hampers for christmas presents. Would be such a shame to waste it after half a day spent making it!
Please help!
I've just finished making a half batch of this. I left the butter out after reading the comments on here but followed everything else to the letter. It did seem to take a lot longer than the recipe says, it took about 1hr 30 mins for the first stage and then more like 50 mins for the second stage. It smells a bit vinegary so I might use less in the second batch.
I'm reading all these comments whilst in the midst of making this! Luckily I forgot the oil so hopefully won't get the solidifying problems - I've tasted it and so far so good :) One thing though, it is taking far longer to reduce than anticipated according to the recipe's guidelines... Having this later with home made chicken liver pate, yum! Thanks for the recipe.
Year three of producing this, Just made probably the best batch of this recipe so far, and realised why some people have too much liquid. It may be people are mistaking measuring centilitres (cl) for the port and sherry vinegar instead of millilitres (ml) as I discovered I did. This could be why some people complained of too much vinegar. I used 50g more sugar mixing castor and muscovado sugar. I also cut a scotch bonnet pepper into tiny bits instead of the chilli flakes, just the right slight kick to it. The only frustrating thing is it only amounted to five 227g (8oz) bottles. Will do it all again tomorrow.
have just made this - still waiting for it to cool - what a long winded process - and it took something like 4 hours from being to end - next time I will not use butter or oil - there was far too much liquid at this stage of the process - I believe both ingredients are unnecessary - I thought these receipes are suppose to be tested - more than once - this is not the first time I have used a good food receipe and found it wanting - try testing them in a real kitchen with real people.
Hi guys,
I made this as Christmas presents for the family and had the same butter issue... all 3 of the 350ml jars I got out of it had a solidified butter "topping"once they had cooled on the side (not even in the fridge). I tried stirring it in as suggested but the consistency was completely different then.
I am going to make another batch with just oil as you all seem to suggest so fingers crossed!
Really really nice and rich, however it took me much longer to get it to the states described for each stage - about 4 hours in total (which included chopping up the onions!) The other problem was that when it came to putting them into the jars, the recipe only filled 4 x 250ml jars instead of 500ml as stated! Rather disappointing given the time I invested in making it, but will find time to make another batch for Xmas presents! Have found that the butter's solidified on the one I put in the fridge too, but it was fine one I'd given it a good mix through.
On with my second batch. This is good stuff.
I use the butter and some fresh tyme from garden. Also a good wack of chilli - cos I like it:)
The cooking times are always longer - I think it maybe better to do it a lot slower and get a more rounded flavour?
One prolem I have though is cutting all the onions - the only thing I've found helps with the sore eyes is the port;) Guess where that ends up:*)
Hi all, have got all the ingreadiants minus the butter and olive oil have brought the sherry vinegar , hope this will add to the taste! looking forward to the out come but i am going to cheat with the chopping of the onions and use the food processor to blizt up the onions as ive just made an onion soup and dont think my eyes will take much more tonight! Will let you all know how its goes! x

New Features for a New Yearcomment (0)
January 2, 2014
By Bob Terry
With this first issue of 2014, The Alabama Baptist begins introducing four new features that will appear regularly in the state Baptist paper.
The first feature is a new weekly column called Theology 101, which will be written by former Beeson Divinity School associate dean Jerry Batson. This column is written for lay readers. Its purpose is to present in easy-to-read, easy-to-understand fashion the foundational truths about what evangelical Christians believe about God, the Bible and the Christian faith. Each article will be short — about 500 words. That means the topics will be presented in bite-size portions and that it may take several articles to deal with a single topic.
No topic will be presented in exhaustive fashion. There will always be more to say about every Bible-based belief. But regular readers of the column will gain new understanding about what Baptists believe and why we believe it.
Theology is not a verse-by-verse study. Theology takes an idea and examines all the Bible says about that idea in order to gain a more full understanding than any single passage provides.
The need for a better understanding of Christian theology is self evident. Americans, including many in our churches, have become biblically illiterate. Barna Research and others tell us that the majority of Americans cannot name more than two or three of Jesus' disciples or know where to find the Ten Commandments in the Bible.
If we are so ignorant of simple factual information, imagine how little we know about the nature of Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit or the doctrine of last things. These are the kind of truths Theology 101 will examine.
Our writer Jerry Batson is a Bessemer native and a Samford University graduate. He earned his Th.D. degree at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and spent the majority of his ministry career as a professor teaching at The Baptist College of Florida and the University of Mobile. For 20 years he taught at Samford's Beeson Divinity School where he served as associate dean and professor of New Testament.
In addition, Batson is a well-known writer of Sunday School curriculum for LifeWay Christian Resources and serves as pastor of First Baptist Church, McCalla. His first Theology 101 column can be found on page 9 of this issue.
A second weekly feature beginning with this issue is Reflections. Some might call it a cartoon. Walker County native Joe McKeever will provide original material for The Alabama Baptist dealing with the life of the church. Some of the Reflections will deal with programs and emphases regularly promoted in Alabama Baptist life. Others will deal with events and observances. Some will be about everyday experiences. All will be designed to make us chuckle as we see ourselves through a mirror of humor.
It has been said that Baptists sometimes take themselves too seriously. It is also said that a sign of maturity is the ability to laugh at one's self. Hopefully the Reflections cartoons will cause us to be a little less "uptight" and occasionally recognize the humorous side of what we do.
Still there is an inherent danger in using humorous material. What one sees as humorous, another sees as deadly serious. What causes one to laugh causes another to feel insulted. It will never be our intent to belittle or insult through the Reflections cartoons. Their only purpose will be to help us look at ourselves in a mirror and see a reflection.
McKeever is well known to Alabama Baptists. Most recently he was at the 2013 annual meeting in Huntsville drawing sketches of messengers who would pose for him. McKeever's cartoons have been published many places across the years including The Birmingham News.
The third feature will be a monthly column titled A Certain Trumpet: Sermons by Alabama Baptists. The title comes from 1 Corinthians 14:8 where the apostle Paul points out the pitfalls of an uncertain trumpet and urges readers to be clear and distinct in their communication.
Each month this column will provide encouragement and inspiration offered in sermonic fashion. It will also give readers opportunity to experience the varied ways Baptists approach a sermon. The sermons will not be the full text preached from a pulpit but a digest-like presentation that will help readers understand the insights offered by the preacher.
The initial series focuses on the Ten Commandments with doctoral-level graduates serving in Alabama offering insights into the meaning of one commandment each month for the first 10 months of the year.
The fourth and final new feature beginning in January is titled Heroes of the Faith and will be written by Joanne Sloan, a member of First Baptist Church, Tuscaloosa. This monthly column will look back in history to highlight famous Christians. Their stories will illustrate dramatic ways God has worked across time and illustrate important lessons for today's Christians.
Sloan is a noted writer, having been published in a variety of magazines from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's Decision magazine to Focus on the Family publications to LifeWay's Mature Living magazine. She also is the author of two books dealing with faith stories of missionaries and the importance of spiritual disciplines.
The Heroes of the Faith column is scheduled for the third issue of each month.
The four new features for the new year only add to the original content found only in The Alabama Baptist, which remains the only publication devoted to what God is doing through Baptists in Alabama, the nation and the world.
Whether one is looking for new ideas for local church use, the latest updates from Baptist representatives across the globe, personal stories filled with inspiration and encouragement, Bible studies or news from and about Baptists, the one place providing all of that and more is The Alabama Baptist.
Take time to read your state Baptist paper each week. It is an indispensable companion on the lifelong journey of Christian discipleship.

Coming in behind saffron, macadamia nuts, beluga caviar, and white truffles, the fifth most expensive food in the world isn't some exotic fish or endangered tropical fruit: it's a rare variety of potato.
Grown in France, the La Bonnotte potato sometimes achieves a market price of an astounding €500/kilo (US $300/lb).
It is cultivated exclusively on the Isle of Noirmoutier, where seaweed is added to the soil in which it's grown.
The result is a potato with a complex flavor that includes hints of lemon, earth and, of course, the sea.
Too fragile to be cultivated by machine, the potatoes have to be pulled out of the ground by hand, with just about 20,000 kilograms harvested each year.
To make La Bonnotte even more exotic, it's (was) available only from May 1st to May 10th.
La Bonnotte is so fragile, in fact, that it would've gone extinct between World Wars I and II if not for a group of devotees to the pricey potato.
The potato is now so beloved by its fans that it even has its own website.

B-Stock Pedals
Pro Guitar Shop wants to help save you a little cash money on your journey to sonic utopia—we're now offering B-stock pedals for purchase! What's a "B-stock" pedal, you ask?! B-stocks are pedals that work perfectly, but… may have some cosmetic imperfections. This could mean: a flaw in the finish, a gouge in the enclosure, complete lack of original packaging, or any of a number of other conditions that prevent the pedal from being "A Stock." B-stock pedals are fully tested to ensure that they function normally. They're just a little less pretty. And a lot less expensive.
B-stock pedals come with a full manufacturer's warranty, but please note that B-stocks are not covered by PGS' 1 Year Warranty and: all B-stock sales are FINAL.

Conversations in the carI love driving with my kids in the car. Aside from the obvious reasons (they're restrained, and I have control over the stereo), I just adore the conversations we have on the road.
Like today. We had to drive 40 minutes to the doggy resort to pick up Ollie from his weekend vacay. Miles dropped his toy and started crying. B immediately jumped into action and tried to reach it for him, and when she couldn't, she said "Is okay, Miles, Mommy get it for you when we stop." and then, when he was still crying, she began to sing to him, "You are my sunshine." It brought tears to my eyes. He actually stopped crying and started babbling back to B.
When my cell phone rang, I let it go to voicemail, and B said, "you not answer the phone, Mommy?" and I said,
"no, we're in traffic right now and I want to be safe." And she said, "yeah, Mom, don't bump the cars."
Finally, once we picked up Ollie, B said "Oh Ollie! You cute little guy! Mommy, I want to hug Ollie when we get home and pull his ears." and then she turned to Miles and said, "Miles a cute little guy too."
"Do you want to pull Miles' ears?" I asked. "No," she said. "I pet Miles."
Then, she thought for a moment and said, "I be a cute little guy someday."
I assured her that she is indeed a 'cute little guy' already.

With the Cleveland Browns entering their second week of organized team activities, a number of storylines are already emerging.
This new defense is easier to learn, players are saying, and they're loving it, according to Matt Florjancic of ClevelandBrowns.com.
The coaches are emphasizing speed and cardio training, with "a lot of running."
At offensive skill positions, the Browns recognize they've got a lot of youth and continue to bring in competition.
With "99 percent" of the offense and defense installed, the focus now becomes repetition, speed and mastery.
So keeping these things in mind, let's take a look at some stuff to look for as OTAs continue.

While too much stock can't be placed on the non-contact practices that comprise NFL teams' organized team activities, the new coaching staff and the various players coming back from injury makes the Washington Redskins' OTAs one to watch.
Starting anew with head coach Jay Gruden's coaching staff, which players will seize the opportunity to make names for themselves?
Let's find out. Here are five players whose stock is on the rise after OTAs.

List the definitions because
1. I don't know.
2. they may help you.
How many relations are there on {1,2,3,4,5}?
How many equivalence relations are there on {1,2,3}?
How many reflexive relations are there on {1,2,3,4,5}?
How many functions are there from {1,2,3} to {a,b,c,d}?
How many surjective functions are there from {1,2,3,4,5} to {a,b,c,d,e}?
How many bijective functions are there from {1,2,3,4} to {a,b,c}?
I know the definitions, but somehow I cant seem to apply
them.. can someone please help with the answers... it will
serve as an example... THANKYOUUU!
A relation on a set X is a subset of X x X.Originally Posted by zee
A finite set A has 2^|A| subsets, where |A| is the number of elements in A.
In this case: X = 1,2,3,4,5}, A = X x X. So you need to determine |A| = |X x X|, the number of pairs (i,j) with i,j in {1,...,5}.
so is it correct to say that the number of relations would be
2^5 (5 elements?)
or is it 2 to the (literal number of pairs??)
So from {1,2,3,4,5} there is
And FYI, Im studying for a final exam and trying to get
practice with all possible questions!
Thanx for ur help!
1) A relation on a set is simply any subset of the cartesian product of that set (you may be thinking only of functions, a specific type of relation).
The cartesian product of {1,2,3,4,5} has 5*5 = 25 elements. the total number of subsets of a 25 element set is 2^25. Thus there are 2^25 possible relations.
2) an equivalence relation on the set {1,2,3 } always gives rise to a partition of the set. Thus, how many partitions are there?
{ {1,2,3} } { {1}, {2,3} } { {1,2}, {3} } { {1,3}, {2} }
{ {1}, {2}, {3} }
Thus there are 5 equivalence relations on {1,2,3}.
3) A reflexive relation just means that for every element a of the set, (a,a) is part of the relation. For the set {1,2,3,4,5}, there are 5 such pairs. The reflexive relations of {1,2,3,4,5} then can be put into bijection with the subsets of the Cartesian product of {1,2,3,4,5} minus the elements {(1,1), (2,2), ...., (5,5) }. This is a set with 5*5 - 5 = 20 elements. Thus the answer is 2^20.
4) From {1,2,3} to {a,b,c,d}, there are 4^3 = 64 possible functions (each of the three elements 1,2,3 can be assigned any one of the elements a,b,c,d).
5) This is the same as the question of how many bijections are there from {1,2,3,4,5} to itself. But a bijection between a set and itself is just a permuation of that set. Thus there are 5! = 120 possible bijections.
6) None. To sets of different cardinality (size) cannot, by definition, have a bijection between them.
Write back if this helped.

After Chipper Jones played his entire 19-year career with the Atlanta Braves, his former teammates apparently took incredible offense to the retired player's recent comments.
Jones, who was invited to throw out the first pitch before Game 1 of the NLDS, had picked the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the series in four games. That didn't go over well with the Braves, and none of the players wanted to catch the first pitch.
Here's what happened instead:
Jones took to Twitter later that night:
Wanna thank the Braves organization for having me throw out the first pitch to the mascot tonite. Quite sure that's never been done before!— Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) October 4, 2013
Nor will it EVER happen again!— Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) October 4, 2013
Kevin Kernan of the New York Post has the reasoning behind the boycott:
Evidently, Braves players were not happy Jones had gone on the radio earlier in the day with the team's flagship station, 680 The Fan, and predicted the Dodgers would win the NLDS in four games. So no player volunteered to catch the pitch.
In the end, Jones nailed the pick. The Braves may not have liked it, but he had the right to voice his opinion.
Hat tip to Hardball Talk for the find.

And that, folks, is how they make "Jelly Bellies" out there at the plant in Fairfield.
Tune in next time when we talk about how they make beer next door at the Anheiser-Busch Brewery.
Ah, yes. That's our Senate (or House). Big squawk over very little. I don't know why they they didn't go ahead and show the chicken laying a egg. Congress lays enough of them.
What's with the German obsession with gay porn?
What is this obsession with chickens, U.S.?
Morty, chickens often represent fear or a cowardly nature on someones part. Lay an egg implies they failed at an attempted tast.
In this cartoon the jellybean is miniscule compared to the size of a normal egg, meaning the senate has done nothing for a long time (snoozing ZZZZZZ). Then when it suddenly wakes up and comes back to life it does next to nothing (lay a jellybean instead of a normal size egg). Lots of symbolism and "analogies" used here.
Radish said, about 7 hours ago…"The Reagan admin started the modern deficit spending. How do you like them jelly beans?"
The Constitution puts spending bills as the responsibility of the House of Congress. Ronald Reagan had a Democratic controlled House for all 8 years of his term.
Reagan had a Democratic controlled Senate for almost 3 of those years.
The Democrats proposed deals of Reagan agreeing to higher taxes, which he did, and CUTS IN SPENDING BY THE DEMS….an agreement that gave Americans higher taxes but NO CUTS IN SPENDING.
How do you like them RECORDED FACTS, Jellybean?
Radish, Reagan was elected in 1980 and took office Jan.1981.
the "entitlement reform" is the subject of Kelley's cartoon.
Entitlements are the Big Three=
Social Security, set up for automatic spending in 1935.
Medicare, set up for automatic spending in 1965.
Medicaid, also before Reagan was president.
Want more "jellybeans"?
