Hozelock Sprinkler Hose Dual Purpose Hose 7.5 Metre - 6755
The Hozelock Sprinkler Hose is a quick and easy solution for providing a gentle and even sprinkler coverage for the lawn and a deep dripping action for flower beds. Both options are available with just this one hose. The hose is perforated along its 7.5 metre length and is flat, making it easy to lay and will stay in place.
Excellent I bought this to use with a hozelock timer for when I am away on holiday, I find it better than the old sprinkler that I had as it give a gentle watering over a wide area, it is also very easy to extend its length by joining more on

it has been an idea for a while that we should publish a Charity News Letter (once a quarter?) that tells other Charitable Organisations and members of the Press and public who we are, what we are doing, what services we provide, what we are fundraising for and what help we need.
I feel we need to do this before the Fundraiser Weekend (aprill 22), I am sure it will help raise funds.

Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Warm Cider Vinaigrette
- 1 (1 1/2-pound) butternut squash, peeled and 3/4-inch) diced
- Good olive oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 ounces baby arugula, washed and spun dry
- 1/2 cup walnuts halves, toasted
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the butternut squash on a sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Roast the squash for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until tender. Add the cranberries to the pan for the last 5 minutes.
While the squash is roasting, combine the apple cider, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
Place the arugula in a large salad bowl and add the roasted squash mixture, the walnuts, and the grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

It is carbon consumption that measures the carbon footprint, not carbon production in particular countries.It has increased from around 25 percent of world primary energy demand to nearly 30 percent — a rising percentage on a sharply growing underlying demand. Much of that extra coal has been burned in China, and despite moves to reduce coal's share of electricity generation, China is going to burn a lot more over the rest of this decade. China and India together currently add around three new coal stations a week, and between now and 2020 around 400 to 600 gigawatts of new coal is likely to come onto the world's energy systems.
While talking is usually a good idea, the fabric of Kyoto is not going to head off climate change.emissions really matter. No wonder the U.S. kept out. Indeed it is a miracle that the Kyoto Framework could even hold itself together at the Durban climate conference in December 2011. The price was inaction: All that could be agreed was that the parties would try to agree by 2015 what might happen after 2020. By that time, all those new coal power stations will have been built and atmospheric concentrations of CO2 will be well above 400ppm. The upcoming summit in Doha, Qatar, will not make much difference to this timetable.
A carbon consumption tax would include a domestic tax on carbon and a tax on carbon imports.of countries of some form of carbon pricing, suggest some limited grounds for optimism.
Money must be available to spend on all the new technologies that might just crack climate change.some of the biggest drops in emissions in the developed economies, outside the Kyoto agreement. In Europe, by contrast, governments (notably France) have been banning shale gas, on the grounds that it might lead to methane leakage and water table contamination. These are real problems that need regulating, but a moment's reflection should lead to the conclusion that if shale gas is to be banned, then all coal mining should be illegal, too. Yet in Europe the shackles being placed on gas mean yet more coal is being burned.

Report: Workman's Comp Claims Down
Despite a 30 percent increase in Oregon's workforce, the state's workers' compensation claims are down sharply since the system was overhauled two decades ago. Workers' Compensation Division administrator John Shilts tells the Statesman-Journal employers are saving money but workplaces are also safer.
The number of accepted disability claims in calendar year 2011 was 18,691, about half the 35,857 accepted in 1990. Estimated non-disability claims (with no time loss from work) dropped from 102,200 in 1990 to 42,400 in 2011. The 2011 numbers are slightly up from the previous year, which recorded 18,012 accepted claims and 41,900 estimated non-disability claims.

In order to protect the public's health and drinking water quality, Memphis Light, Gas and Water has established a Cross Connection Control Program. This program is a cooperative effort between the city and county plumbing departments, health officials, the water purveyor (MLGW) and consumers. This program establishes requirements for residential, commercial and industrial customers that may have systems or processes considered hazardous to MLGW's potable water system.
What is a Cross Connection?
A Cross Connection is any actual or potential connection between your drinking water and any non-potable source that results in contamination of the potable water system.
What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when the water in your pipes goes in the opposite direction of normal flow. There are two conditions that cause backflow:
- Backpressure - when the pressure in your pipes is greater then the pressure in the water distribution system.
- Backsiphonage - when there is a sudden reduction of pressure in the water distribution system that causes fluids (water, chemicals, etc.) from your pipes to be sucked into the water distribution system.
How Does MLGW Protect the Potable Water System?
MLGW has a Cross Connection Program that consists of maintaining a database of all residences and businesses connected to our water distribution system that are required to have backflow prevention devices. MLGW requires reduced pressure backflow preventer (RP) devices be tested annually per requirements of TDEC and the Memphis & Shelby County Cross Connection Board. Any residential, commercial or industrial customer that refuses to comply and have the devices tested is subject to having the water shut off until the devices are in compliance. A reconnect fee will be added to the MLGW utility bill if the water is cut-off due to cross connection non-compliance.

Debate on drones just beginning
Drones, drones, and more drones.
The quickly evolving technology of drones is being debated on a wide variety of levels in North Dakota and across the nation.
In North Dakota, the Legislature is considering proposals that would create restrictions on unmanned aerial vehicle usage, addressing fears that the drones could be used by law enforcement agencies to spy on residents. At least 11 states are considering restrictions or bans on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration announced last week that it wants to create six drone test sites around the country. Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said the state is "well-positioned" to be one of the six sites selected. A North Dakota site would be located in the Grand Forks area, where military and Border Patrol drones are already in use. There's also a unmanned aircraft program at the University of North Dakota.
Is there room to find potential middle ground? Can North Dakota put restrictions on drone usage, while at the same time advocating that the state should be home to a national drone testing site? It certainly opens up interesting discussion, doesn't it?
The drone debate in North Dakota and in the nation isn't going away anytime soon. In fact, it's just getting started, judging by the strong reaction on both sides of the issue.

You will need
- 5 x ingredients for Easy vanilla cake (see 'Goes well with' recipe below)
- 5 x ingredients for Basic vanilla buttercream (see recipe below)
The sun-dried seed pod of a type of climbing orchid, vanilla has an inimitable soft, sweet…
- 340g/12oz jar strawberry jam, optional (I used Tiptree Strawberry & Champagne)
- 340g/12oz jar apricot jam, warmed and sieved
- 4kg white ready-to-roll icing (I used Regalice)
- 15cm, 23cm and 30cm thin round cake boards
- 40cm thick round cake board
- cocktail sticks
- palette knife
- a roll of baking parchment
- a flat baking sheet or cake lifter
- icing sugar, for rolling out
- string, for measuring
- 8 x long plastic dowels
- kitchen scissors
- 3½ m x 1½ cm white satin ribbon
- tube of UHU glue, or similar
To stack and insert the flowers
- 12cm and 15cm polystyrene cake dummies
- 18-gauge floristry wire, cut into about 20 x 10cm lengths
- 15-20 white and pale green hydrangea heads (get some smaller, some larger, if you can); your florist can advise
- 40cm, 30cm and 18cm cake boxes with lids, if you're transporting the cake
MAKING THE CAKES: Make the basic Easy vanilla cake recipe (see 'Goes well with'), following the instructions below for each tier, then cool and drench with the syrup. The cakes can be frozen ahead, without icing. However, if you bake them three days before the wedding, the cake will be fine until the big day.
For the bottom tier, triple the quantities for the basic cake mix, then spoon into a ready-lined deep round 30cm cake tin. Bake for 2 hrs 15 mins on the middle shelf until risen and cooked through as before. While this cooks, make up a quadruple batch of the syrup - this will be enough for all three cakes. Cool and drench the cake with syrup as before.
For the middle and top tiers, double the quantities for the basic cake mix, then spoon it into ready-lined 15cm and 23cm cake tins, filling each to about two-thirds full. Bake them together on the middle shelf, taking the small cake out after 1 hr 15 mins, and leaving the larger cake to cook for 1 hr 30 mins in total. If you know that your oven has hot spots, quickly move the cakes around after 50 mins. Cool and drench with syrup as before.
LAYER AND COVER THE CAKES: Make the buttercream as in the basic recipe. You will need 5 x basic quantity - this is a lot, so split your weighed-out quantities in two before you start mixing. You may have some left over, but better too much than too little. Weigh out the buttercream - you will need approximately 400g for the 15cm cake, 600g for the 23cm cake and 1.3kg for the 30cm cake. Spread a little buttercream over the 15cm cake board. Level the top of the cake if you need to, then upturn the 15cm cake onto it. Split into three using a bread knife. I like to mark the front of the cake on each layer before lifting it off, using toothpicks, so I can reassemble it in exactly the right way. Take the top third off first (what was the bottom of the cake) and set aside. Carefully cut the middle layer and set that aside, too. A flat baking sheet or cake lifter can be very helpful here to slide the cake layers off and then back onto each other.
Spread a layer of buttercream over the cake on the board. Return the middle layer, lining up the toothpick markings, then spread another layer of buttercream on top. Add a little jam if you like, dotting it over, then spreading evenly. Top with the final piece of cake, then dust off any crumbs on or around the cake. Now brush the whole cake with a thin layer of apricot jam. This should stop you getting too many crumbs in the buttercream. Sit the whole cake on a large sheet of baking parchment.
Spread the rest of the buttercream over, starting with the top, then smooth and paddle it around the sides and down to the board. Repeat the whole process with the remaining cakes, using the corresponding boards and the different quantities of buttercream. The cakes are now ready to be iced. You can leave them overnight if needed, loosely covered with cling film.
COVERING THE CAKE WITH ICING: You will need about 500g icing for the 15cm cake, 1kg for the 23cm cake and 1.7kg for the 30cm cake. Dust the work surface with icing sugar, knead the icing until pliable, then use your rolling pin to roll it into a circle large enough to cover the sides and top of the cake, with a little left over. Use string to check the size. Use your rolling pin to help you lift the icing over the cake.
Smooth the icing around the cake with your hands, easing it over the edges and down to the board. Then trim off the excess with a sharp knife, flush with the bottom of the cake board. Smooth any marks with the flats of your hands, buffing the icing to a slight shine.
Once you've iced all the cakes, cover the thick base board. Lightly brush with cooled boiled water, then lay the icing over. Trim to the edge of the board with a knife (I tend to do this like I would a pie crust, holding the board in my left hand, and knife in my right), then leave the board and the cakes to dry overnight.
STACKING THE CAKES: Dowels, which are basically plastic sticks, provide stability and strength to tiered cakes, and polystyrene blocks allow you to add a 'floating' layer of flowers. By measuring and cutting the dowels to the same length as the polystyrene, you'll provide an even platform for the next cake to sit on, even if the cake below is a bit wonky.
Sit the 15cm dummy centrally on top of the biggest cake. Insert four of the dowels into the cake, around the outside of the dummy, in a square shape. Push them right down until they meet the cake board. Mark with a pen where the top of the dummy comes to.
Carefully pull out the dowels; then, using scissors, score around each dowel where you marked it. Snap the plastic cleanly. Re-insert the dowels in their original holes, rounded end down. Repeat the process with the 23cm cake and the 12cm dummy.
Position the biggest cake in the middle of the covered board. Run a thin line of glue around the base board and fix the ribbon around it. Fix the ribbon around each cake, using a spot of the glue on the ribbon to secure it to itself. If you're moving the cake to a venue, put the cakes into their boxes now. Make a little kit to take with you - glue, scissors, etc - just in case you have to re-do anything.
ON THE DAY - STACKING AND DECORATING THE CAKE WITH FLOWERS: I used hydrangeas - they're beautiful, in season and you can achieve a dramatic effect with relatively few blooms. On the day, save putting the flowers on the cake until as late as you reasonably can. Cut the stems of the hydrangeas to about 2-3cm. Split your least-favourite bloom into smaller pieces - this will help you fill any awkward gaps later. Make sure you save one beautiful bloom for the top.
Insert a length of floristry wire into each stem (or wind it around the stem), leaving a spike of wire about 3cm long. Push this into the polystyrene dummy. Repeat until the two dummies are surrounded with a halo of flowers. The bottom cake should be in its permanent position now - out of direct light and away from any radiators. Lift the 23cm cake onto the bottom polystrene dummy, taking care not to squash any petals, then repeat with the top cake. Fill any gaps with the broken-up flower head you reserved earlier. Sit the final bloom on top of the cake, and you're done!
CUTTING THE CAKE: Cut the cake across, in a grid, rather than into wedges. You should be able to get 50 servings from the large cake, 30 from the middle and 12 from the top, when cut into 2.5 x 5cm pieces.
Vanilla buttercream (enough for a 20cm cake)
Put 175g soft unsalted butter into a large bowl. Beat with electric beaters for a few secs until pale. Gradually add 300g sifted icing sugar, a spoonful at a time, beating well after each addition. The mixture will seem stiff by the time all the sugar has been added, but keep beating and it will become pale and creamy. Finally, beat in seeds from 1 vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla paste. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Bring back to room temperature and beat well before using.
Chilling the sponges for 30 mins before cutting makes them easier to cut into layers. If you're really nervous about this bit, just split the cakes into two. Start with the smallest cake; that way once you know what you're doing, you'll feel more confident to do it on a larger scale.
Before I ice a cake, I sit it on a big sheet of baking parchment. This lets you lift and move the cakes about as you ice, without disturbing the icing around the bottom. Never put a cake with sugarpaste icing on it into the fridge. Water will condense onto the icing, softening and spoiling all your hard work.

I love finding great advice for baking online, I'm a very enthusiastic hobby baker. I've just started using a great website called www.bakingit.com, anyone following this check out their dowel guide. It will just give you some added information about where to place them for the best support. I love this site so much. It's made baking a lot more fun for me and less stressful.
I made this cake for my wedding.
We a made each layer twice as we had 170 people and wanted a bigger cake. This worked very well, it is a strong cake and could take the weight without issues. We also used a florist to do the layers inbetween.
We haven't made a lot of cakes before so we made a few errors but the recipe was surprisingly forgiving. We didn't use dough hooks for the first bit of mixing and so we broke a mixer.
A domestic oven is just fine to bake a large cake in proving the tin fits in without tilting in any way. My only advice would be to bake the 12" cake batter in two halves. I follow the instructions to triple the basic recipe then halve it and make two cakes instead of one big one. This way each cake takes approximately 45 mins( in my oven, all ovens are different), and there is no need then to split the cake if you prefer not to. I keep the temperature 160c for non fan and 140 for fan operated ovens.
I have made the middle tier of this cake before and it is truely delicious! So I have decided to attempt to make a double tier cake for an upcoming Christening... I just wondered whether a 12"/13" cake tin is suitable for a normal domestic oven? as this is an approx size I would like to use for the bottom tier... however an assistant in the cake shop where I buy my supplies suggested this would be too big for a normal oven, with the air in the oven not moving around properly to cook the cake... is this the case? and if so what is a more suitable size? :)
This cake looks spectacular... however just so people do not become ill, I need to advise that hydrangeas are a poionous flower if consumed and therefore should not be eaten . So, if using fresh flowers on the cake, make sure they are put on at the latest possible time prior to the wedding reception and removed before the cake is cut and served. Or use silk hydrangeas or make fondant flowers to adorn the cake.
Thank you for a great recipe! I've been making various tiers of this cake for different friends' birthdays and anniversaries, and last week followed the full method to create my first three-tier wedding cake, with a combination of fruit and sponge cakes. It went down really well, the instructions were easy to follow, and the end result looked very impressive. I'll definitely be using this one again.

440cc Dynamo Packs a Powerful Punch
Being the "tech guy", I get grilled all the time by our customers as to what I play. I guess they feel if it is good enough for me to play, it ought to be good enough for them. So if you are asking that same question, here's my answer. Of all the golf drivers we offer, including all the ones introduced this year, the Power Play Warp Speed Driver is my personal favorite. I actually have several built up with different shafts starting with the early prototypes that I started playing last fall, not to mention handed to fellow golfers to get their reactions.
View Technical Director Jeff Summitt's Videoblog on the Power Play Warp Speed Driver Below
To be perfectly honest, we would have had these available by now, but we made umpteen gazillion cosmetic changes on the Warp Speed Driver to get to the final product you see today. Now that might be a slight embellishment, but that's part of product development. Cosmetics are just as important as the design itself or the naming that makes the difference between a successful launch and just another "ho hum" product. I, for one, am glad we didn't rush it to market and waited to get it right.

By now, I hope you are already familiar with the Power Play Warp Speed Brassie in this series that I spoke about a couple of weeks ago. But if you are unfamiliar with the Power Play Warp Speed Driver, its' story is slightly different. It was designed to generate more speed upon impact. How you ask? We streamlined the body by reducing the volume slightly as it is only a 440cc driver. I can tell you though, not a single player that tested the early prototypes ever noticed it was any smaller than the maximum volume most golf drivers are made today. However, I wouldn't classify it as a deep face driver either. Secondly, the shape was carefully sculpted to have a more aerodynamic shape to reduce drag. Now, many companies will make this same tout. Just like car manufacturers, as each year passes, we get a little more proficient at producing better and better products. But that's not why I like it best about this product.
We also shed as much weight as we could from the crown to lower and then deepen the center of gravity. That is just one of the key elements you can't see as well as a slight change to the face construction for a little faster ball speed on off-center shots. These are the little details that provide you with a better performing product. But again, that is not the main reason I like this driver best.
What I like best about the Power Play Warp Speed Titanium Driver is that it evokes my senses. It is the same way people are attracted to one another. It is the sound of their voice, the shape of the face or the color of the eyes or hair. It is the same way with this driver. It has a beautiful sound at impact due to the slightly smaller volume and thicker walls and the shape and colors have a look like that no other driver has. This is my Halle Berry and Jessica Alba of drivers. Not only does it perform magnificently (*mine are optimized with a 20g Tour Lock Pro counterweight), but I am proud to show it off too. That's pride in ownership.
While your tastes may differ from mine, The Warp Speed Driver is just one of many fine custom golf drivers that Hireko offers that you will find in the whole golf industry. Make sure to get properly fit. If you are unsure and asking "What size driver do I need", go to one of the number of independent clubmakers in your area to get the proper driver length for your height, shaft weight, flex and grip size.

The Ole Miss Rebels are eager to begin year two of the Hugh Freeze era.
After a remarkable turnaround campaign last year that included both Egg Bowl and BBVA Compass Bowl victories, Rebel Nation hopes to continue the momentum this season.
If starting QB Bo Wallace can stay healthy in 2013, the Johnny Rebs could have a very special year.
On the other hand, unless a true reserve candidate emerges this summer, Ole Miss could struggle mightily if Wallace is forced to the sideline for any reason this fall.
Nevertheless, there's an abundance of talent headed to Oxford by way of the Rebels' No. 5 recruiting class (ESPN). The freshman corps will join forces with a squad that returns the vast majority of starters from last season's 7-6 Ole Miss Rebels.
Working under the assumption that Freeze doesn't sustain any major injuries on his team, let's take a look at game-by-game predictions for the Rebels in 2013.

WNPR (August 21): "Changing the Science of Concussion" [AUDIO]
A new device developed in Connecticut aims to provide real time data about what kind of head impacts are involved in sports. This season UNH's football and men's and women's soccer teams will be wearing a new sensor developed by Connecticut entrepreneur Dale Hollingsworth. "And it's only about six millimeters thick, it's very tiny and it slips into a small little string band, a head band, or it slips into a skull cap that you see football players wearing today. And it sits just in the back of your head -- you don't even know you're wearing it, and yet it's communicating all the time," he says.

The Fabulous 4 (Minutes) - Page 3
The workout does not change. Over time, your speed will simply increase, so your sprints become more intense.
If you're a beginner, start with a single Tabata workout a week. If you're intermediate, try two at the end of your usual workouts. If you need to outrun the paparazzi, go for three sessions weekly.
Total Tabata Strength Training
For trail runners, strength training offers injury prevention, body-composition benefits and speed increases. Focus on multi-jointed exercises (e.g. in a dumbbell curl, the only action is at the elbow, while in a squat, you use your knees and hips), and use the power of Tabata training to squeeze more from every rep and cut your training time drastically. Then you will have more time for the trails.
Aim to strength train three days a week. Every time you work out you're training your whole body—no need to train arms one day, calves the next, and all that other nonsense that requires you to keep a cot at the gym.
In every workout perform an exercise that pushes and another that pulls horizontally and vertically, and also alternate between squat and dead-lift variations.
Just like your Tabata cardio routine, do as many reps as you can of each exercise for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds and repeat for a total of eight sets. Don't count reps. Use about half the weight you would normally use for 10 to 12 reps. Your rest periods are short, so no gabbing or drinking water.
- Vertical push exercises. Dumbbell or barbell presses (incline, flat or decline). Dips are also good push exercises.
- Horizontal push exercises. Barbell or dumbbell overhead presses.
- Vertical pull exercises. Pullups and chinups, or lat pulldowns.
- Horizontal pull exercises. Dumbbell or barbell rows.
- Squat or dead-lift exercise. Every workout should also include one of these, alternating between workouts.
Keep a journal of the exercises and weights you use, and remember your body adapts to exercise quickly. Every week or two, try to increase the weight slightly or do more reps in each 20-second period.
Switch up the exercises every week. For example, if you do dumbbell/barbell presses one week as your horizontal push movement, do barbell incline presses the next week. Also, change the order in which you perform the exercises.

Life confined to the boundaries of time and space without the promise of eternal life would be cruel and unbearable to live. Without the certainty of an eternal paradise, the trials and tribulations of this present life would have no meaning and purpose.

Keywords: sunday homily, homily, homilies, catholic homily, heaven, hell, purgatory, the rich young man, eternal life, desire for eternity, catechism of the catholic church, Fr James Farfaglia
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - Whenever we want to get somewhere we consult a map, ask someone for directions, or use the Internet. Some cars are even equipped with a guidance system. Our contemporary technological society makes it very difficult for us to get lost. However, the most important destination of all is our journey to eternity.
"Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" The young man in this Sunday's gospel narrative asks Jesus the most important and most fundamental question. Moreover, the young man is open. He sincerely seeks an answer from the Lord. "What must I do?
When we were little children we learned the simple, but profound truth about our existence. Why did God make me? God made me to know him, to love him, to serve him in this world and to be happy with him in everlasting life. Here lies the plain truth about our life on earth. We will not be here forever.
Life is like a bus ride. We move forward with our bags packed, hoping that when the bus stops and the door opens, we will be at the right location. We must remember the fundamental truth of Revelation: eternity consists of three states: heaven, purgatory and hell. To deny the existence of purgatory and hell is to deny Christianity.
One day each of us will stand before God for judgment. We will stand before God without a lawyer and without family and friends to support us. We will stand alone before Almighty God. Each day could be our last day on earth.
We should each ask ourselves each day, if I were to die today, how would God judge me? Is there any particular sin, attachment, or attitude that might keep us from getting to heaven? If we really want to get to heaven, we can't be making excuses for our behavior. Life is not a dress rehearsal.
What is heaven? Without a doubt, heaven is a place difficult to describe. We cannot begin to understand it because heaven belongs to the mystery of faith.
In the Gospels, Jesus speaks of this mystery through images. He calls it the kingdom, a place of life, light and peace. He refers to it as a wedding feast, the Father's house, the heavenly Jerusalem and paradise.
Saint Paul tells us that "no eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor the heart of man conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2: 9).
And St. John tells us that in heaven "we shall see him as he really is" (1 John 3: 2).
Saint Paul's awe is echoed in the words of a child taking an evening walk with her father. Wonderingly, she looked up at the stars and exclaimed; "Oh, Daddy, if the wrong side of heaven is so beautiful, what must the right side be!"
Heaven has been defined for us in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. "Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ. They are like God for ever, for they see him as He is, face to face. This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity - this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed - is called Heaven. Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness" (1023 - 1024).
Life confined to the boundaries of time and space without the promise of eternal life would be cruel and unbearable to live. Without the certainty of an eternal paradise, the trials and tribulations of this present life would have no meaning and purpose.
The judgments of time will be corrected by the judgments of eternity. The injustices of this world will be replaced by the justice of the world to come. The tears shed now, will be replaced by the joy lived forever in eternal life.
Another aspect to the eschatological teachings of the Catholic Church is purgatory. It is imperative that we not lose sight of the reality of purgatory. While it is important never to diminish the reality of the resurrection of the body, it is essential that we embrace the whole of Christian Revelation, that we do not simply adhere to those dimensions that make us feel comfortable.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. The Church gives the name purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned" (1030, 1031).
This teaching of the Catholic Church is based on the Sacred Scriptures from the Second Book of Maccabees. Thus, it is important for our spiritual growth and development that we keep in mind the reality of purgatory. Prayer, fasting, penance and ascetical practices are essential ingredients for those of us wishing to avoid a prolonged stay in purgatory.
It is also important that we understand the need to pray for the dead. Since there is a purgatory, it is laudable that we have Masses celebrated for our deceased family and friends. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a powerful tool to free souls from the pains of purgatory. This of course is not to be misunderstood as a continuation of an abuse that existed centuries ago.
However, rather than deleting Maccabees from the canon of the Bible altogether, it is better to understand the correct practice of praying for the dead as practiced through the age old tradition of the Catholic Church.
Finally, regarding the existence of hell, let us consider once again some of the most fundamental aspects of this other dimension of the eschatological teachings of the Church. In his teachings on eternal condemnation, Jesus refers to hell many times; however, in those moments, he always uses descriptive expressions such as "Gehenna," "eternal fire," "the unquenchable fire," "furnace of fire," and "where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."
The teachings of Jesus on the existence of hell are clear. If we deny the existence of hell then we are denying an essential part of Christianity. The reality of hell and the possibility of eternal condemnation constitute for us a daily call to conversion.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, 'eternal fire'. The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs" (1035).
So, let us go back again to the question of the young man of this Sunday's gospel passage. "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
The answer that Jesus delivers is two dimensional.
In the first place, he reminds the young man, who is a faithful Jew, that he must live out in his daily life the Ten Commandments. The young man answers Jesus honestly and tells him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth" (Mark 10: 20). The young man is a good and faithful man.
But, look and see what happens next.
Jesus invites him to go deeper. "There is one thing that you lack. Go and sell everything you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me" (Mark 10: 21).
What happens to us when Jesus asks us to go deeper? What occurs in our soul when Jesus calls us to a deeper fidelity and a greater love?
Some people respond with generosity, like Mary, the mother of the Lord. Others really mean well but don't follow through, like Peter.
Unfortunately, there are those who walk away from the Lord, like the young man of this Sunday's gospel passage. "But his face fell at these words and he went away said, for he was a man of great wealth" (Mark 10: 22).
What has always amazed me about this gospel narrative is the fact that Jesus did not plead with the young man to reconsider his decision. Jesus respects the young man's freedom, just like he honors our freedom as well.
However, here is the really good news. For all those who love the Lord and respond to whatever he may be asking of us, there is a reward.
Just consider how this Sunday's gospel passage concludes. "I tell you solemnly, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, father, children or land for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not be repaid a hundred times over, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and land - not without persecutions-now in this present time and, in the world to come, eternal life" (Mark 10: 29-30).
My dear friends, this past Thursday, we began the Year of Faith with Pope Benedict XVI. Faith is immense gift from God. Let us journey together during this extraordinary time of history as we remember the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Second Vatican Council and the 20th anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
We do live in challenging times, but it is a time for us to be authentic and mature disciples of Christ, thus being witnesses of joy and hope in a troubled world. It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
Let us conclude with a prayer.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the awesome gift of faith. It is through the gift of faith that I can experience your awesome and unconditional love for me. Thank you for the gift of our Catholic Church. What an awesome Church your Son has given to us. In times of struggle and doubt, fill us with a stronger faith. Help us never to be discouraged. Fill us with your peace. Deliver us from evil and help us always to seek your face.  Amen.

1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
|Keep up to date on the Powell Butte Reservoir 2 Project's progress.
Portland must have sufficient drinking water storage capacity to meet the anticipated growth in demand for water and for fighting fires. The City must also offset the loss of its five open reservoirs (due to federal LT2 regulations). The three Mount Tabor Reservoirs will be disconnected from the City's water system in 2015; the Washington Park Reservoirs disconnected by 2020. Total project cost is estimated at $138 million.
It is for these reasons, the Portland Water Bureau is advancing its plans for a second underground 50-million gallon (MG) reservoir at Powell Butte Nature Park. The Water Bureau's long-range water storage plan includes the construction of four 50-MG reservoirs and a smaller 25-MG on Powell Butte, which was purchased by the City in 1925 for this purpose. The first underground reservoir was built in 1979-1980 and became operational in 1981.
The Portland Water Bureau conducted an extensive 13-year public process, from 1995 to 2008 to review issues related to Powell Butte Nature Park and the region's water supply system. The process included a formal Stakeholders Advisory Committee composed of interests outside of City government, including neighborhood associations, environmental organizations, recreational interests, schools, and outside water districts.
The Powell Butte Master Plan, started in 1995, identifies the City's plans to build a second reservoir by the year 2013. This plan was approved in the Powell Butte Conditional Use Master Plan (CUMP) in 2003.
As required under the CUMP -- at the public's request -- the reservoir project includes replacing the existing maintenance shed and restroom building with a new interpretive center and restroom. A new, permanent single-family residence as the Caretaker's House must be built.
The CUMP also calls for a separate storage and maintenance facility to be built due to the expanded maintenance needs of both the Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation. Additional improvements include enhancements to the park's main parking lot, a new natural grass-setting outdoor teaching area (amphitheater) that will be built to better support the educational programs in the park, and a new trail plan to reduce areas of concerns for hikers, bicyclists and equestrians. Funding for the park improvements is included as part of the Water Bureau's Powell Butte Reservoir 2 Project.
The Water Bureau and Portland Parks and Recreation established a Project Advisory Committee (PAC), a group of citizens who helped formulate criteria that was used by building design and landscape architects to develop park facility designs. PAC members represented the three local neighborhood associations, nearby homeowners, and park user interest groups, such as the Friends of Powell Butte Nature Park, the Audubon Society, and Northwest Trails, Inc. The group began meeting in October 2009, and completed their work in May 2010.
Construction will occur in two phases:
Phase 1: The first phase was the excavation of the reservoir site began in July 2009 and was completed in May 2010. During the first phase, hundreds of tons of soil were removed and transported off the butte. An estimated 100 truck trips per day made for a total of approximately 30,000 trips to and from Powell Butte. Some of the soil is being kept on the construction site to reuse on the site once the reservoir is constructed.
Phase 2: In phase 2, hundreds of workers are constructing the buried concrete reservoir, pipes, vaults, emergency overflow structure, and a number of required park improvements. The second phase began in May 2011, with the project scheduled for completion in late 2015.
Road and Parking Lot Closures
During construction, the Powell Butte Nature Park's main parking lot and the entrance road from SE 162nd Ave. will need to be closed for extended periods of time to allow for the construction of the new park facilities. When the main lot in the park is not accessible, you can use the parking lot at the nearby Rose Bowling Center, SE 164th Ave. and SE Powell Blvd. The Water Bureau has renewed its lease with the business to use some of its parking spaces.
Also available is the temporary parking lot located on SE Center Street near SE 144th Avenue at the Water Bureau's Vivian pump station which is now open for public use. The temporary parking lot on SE Holgate -- east of SE 136th Avenue on former Gate's Property -- will be open in late fall 2011.
Once reservoir construction starts, the Water Bureau will open the two new temporary parking lots located on SE Center Street at SE 144th Ave. and at the trailhead at SE Holgate near SE 136th Ave. "Road Closed" signs will be posted when the main parking lot is unavailable. Notices also will be posted at the park entrances and the main parking lot kiosk.
Most Trails will be Affected Periodically during Construction
Portland Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation will post the trail route changes on their respective websites and on kiosks located at each park entrance.
The Portland Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreations staff will continue to keep the public informed about the project through our websites. In addition, there will be project news and park notices posted in the community newspapers and on kiosk bulletin boards stationed at each of the park's official entrances. The Water Bureau also introduced WaterWorks, a monthly electronic news bulletin, with project highlights and features. If you would like to receive it, please e-mail Lindsay Wochnick, Public Information, at email@example.com.
For information about this project, contact Lindsay Wochnick, Public Information, at 503-823-3028.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as the Portland Water Bureau works to improve the city's century old water system.

Candidates Focus On County's Economy
Both county executive candidates are laying out more plans for economic development and growth.
Fredonia businessman Ron Johnson, Democratic party candidate, and current Chautauqua County Legislator Vince Horrigan, Republican party candidate, have each released details for important platforms for their candidacy.
Johnson recently outlined his economic development plan.
"My approach to job creation and economic revitalization will be asset-based economic development," he said. "We are blessed with the underpinnings and resources to be a stable and vibrant economy. Key among these assets are the top-ranked academic institutions of SUNY Fredonia and Jamestown Community College. Partnership between campuses, the state of New York and the Chautauqua County business community will be a top priority."
Johnson said his team will commit to forging partnerships that will build off the energy of the high-tech potential of SUNY?Fredonia's Incubator in downtown Dunkirk.
Additionally, Johnson said his team will look at the potential of the expanding science and technology programs at both colleges, as well as the innovation of faculty and the talent and enthusiasm of the student population.
"We will be certain the county and its partners are ready to take advantage of every opportunity to seek funds, create jobs and expand the economy," Johnson said. "One such example is securing a designation for our area as part of the brand new Start-Up NY program."
Start-Up NY is a program created by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Under the initiative, businesses geared toward the academic mission of a SUNY campus would be free of sales, property and corporate taxes for 10 years if they move to or open on a SUNY campus. Additionally, the company's employees would have their income taxes waived for the same amount of time.
"Start-Up NY promotes entrepreneurship and the creation of jobs by aligning public higher education and the creation of tax incentive communities across the state," Johnson said. "The program will help businesses locate in a Start-Up NY community. It targets start up and expanding companies to locate in direct proximity to a state college or university campus."
On the other hand, Horrigan places water infrastructure in the county at the top of his economic development agenda. Additionally, Horrigan outlined the role for returning veterans as job coaches.
"I believe it is essential that Chautauqua County has a robust regional water system that can support economic development by retaining, growing and attracting businesses such as food processing companies," he said. "My recent conversations with business leaders and elected officials in the northern Chautauqua County area indicated that there is broad consensus that a regional water system is essential."
Horrigan went on to say attracting new businesses to the county required the development and marketing of competitive advantages such as the lower cost of utilities, saying regional solutions to the county's infrastructure investments would provide "more bang for the buck."
As a former military man, Horrigan said returning to the county as a veteran, he found transitioning from a military career to a civilian career was challenging. Therefore, he outlined a plan to put returning veterans to work as job coaches.
"I want to put our veterans to work as job coaches in our county's work experience program," Horrigan said. "Job coaching is a mentoring program which helps those who are newly employed or previously unemployed successfully overcome the challenges to successful employment. This program would be patterned after the 'Mission Continues' program, which has been successfully piloted across the country."
Horrigan explained the program uses the skills and experience of returning veterans to help their communities in a variety of roles, and said he sees the county program as a public-private effort, using the veterans to assist in a job coaching role, while veterans network with area employers to find a job that fits their civilian objectives.
"Over the next several weeks of my campaign, I will be reaching out to area veterans' service clubs and not-for-profits to refine the 'Veterans Job Coaching Initiative' to ensure we incorporate the best ideas into the program."

I need some advice. I have one last piece of pork belly confit in the fridge. I brined these bitches for about 5 days (brine included pink curing salt), vacuum sealed the squares of pork belly with lard and sous vide them at 158 F for 16 hours. I cooked this on 11/10/16 and its been in my refrigerator since.
Here is the general recipe I followed, with some modifications based on my taste: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/...
The last piece is still vacuum sealed and submerged (mostly) in lard. Any visible pork only has contact with the bag.
It's staring at me. And calling my name.
I want to deep fry this sucker and have a little date night with the handsome devil I see in the mirror every morning, but the last thing I want is spoiled food. I can't find any conclusive information about how long pork confit lasts for. I've only seen references that duck confit or in general that the confit technique will last for months in the fridge. I have found no sources which directly addresses pork confit.
Questions/Factors I'm Considering:
- Does pork confit keep for as long as duck confit?
- Does vacuum sealing have any effect on the length of preservation?
- Does sous-vide cooking method affect the length of preservation?
I know I am probably being a bit paranoid, but I thought I would do my due diligence before taking the plunge, so to speak. Any advice on these questions would be extremely helpful and appreciated!
The Franzisaurus-Rex
PS - you should totally make this if you are into sous vide, confit, food, or have any respect for the enjoyment of life. Flash-searing these things after cooking was OUT OF THIS WORLD.

The NY Times has a current article in the science section "A Universe of Bubbles in Every Champagne Bottle".
The article asserts that it is better to serve Champagne at warmer than refrigerator temperatures so that the bubbles are larger and convey more flavor. Also to serve in a narrow glass.
However Gerard Liger-Belair (who is referenced as an authority in the Times article) points out in his book Uncorked (forward by Herve This) that the colder the wine the more viscous and the more dissolved CO2. Liger-Belair also prefers a goblet to a flute. I bought Uncorked after reading about it in Liquid Intelligence from Dave Arnold.

I made a Gellan based fluid gel that I think is 'too thick'.
(One could say, I'd like more fluid and less gel!)
Anyone know what the best way, if any?,there is to thin it so I can squeeze bottle it? at the moment it's spoonable but way thick.
Could I add water and blender it again?
or is there another idea?
thanks in advance.

This is my first post here -- apologies if I'm making any mistakes on protocol -- I have spent some time checking prior posts but this seemed the best place to jump in.
I have a 13lb skin-on, loin attached pork belly I'm going to cook for Christmas dinner. Coincidentally I also have an Anova sous vide circulation heater and a new plastic tub with a lid.
The recipes I've saw mostly call for seasoning, a water bath for 36 hours and then a deep or pan fry to crisp. Now I have the setup, and look at the combination of the roast and the container I realize I have some questions about what I'm doing -- I've attached a picture below of what we're starting off with.
Here are those questions:
The fit seems a little tight to me -- is the container size fine? I was planning on seasoning, tying and double bagging it in large ziploc bringing bags ( water displacement, no vacuum sealer ). I've convinced myself the ziplock method is fine, but is standing the meat vertically in a space close to it's dimension for a 36 hour cook ok? After the 36 hours in water, it is Ok to refrigerate? The main recipe I've been using as a base calls for removing it, shocking it and then removing the liquids for sauce before deep frying -- would it be ok to shock, refrigerate for several hours, then bring to temperature in the bath again before proceeding with browning/bringing to temp? If this isn't a bad idea, how long would you keep in the water bath after refrigeration? Deep frying vs. a quick hot oven? I'll rub baking soda on this, and I'll fry if need be -- but does anyone have experience or thoughts on whether you'd be defeating the purpose of using sous vide in the first place if you just used a suitably hot oven to crisp the skin after cooking sous vide and drying the skin beforehand? I'd prefer not to to do an inside stove top fry for something this large right before dinner if it wasn't sacrificing too much.
Thanks for any help, would also be great to hear any other useful advice from anyone that's went through a similar process.

HI guys,
I'm here for a bit of advice. We are building a house (in Croatia, Europe), and finally have a chance to build a kitchen as i want it
We would like to get a professional combi oven, something like this new Rational (a bit pricey) or this UNOX (better price) so that we have a long term solution for our needs.
The reason we are going for the professional oven is that, for example UNOX, is cheaper than "home combi ovens" from brands like Miele, Gaggenau, etc. and are much better than those.
Does anyone have any experience with pro combis at home? i have only seen a couple of people, at least on the internet, that have them at home. I guess that setup would not be a problem, because we designed a water inlet and outlet for the oven, and the voltage is OK. is there anything we didnt think of? Will that oven have higher maintananace cost, even if its used only couple of days a week?
Thanks for help
