Canning bacon bits
Nonetheless when I came across three-pound packs of bacon ends for a good price, I cleaned out the store. We'd just finished using up our stash of bacon bits I'd canned last year, and bacon bits are excellent in so many dishes that having a nice supply is a bonus.
Besides, with the horrible drought plaguing the midwest, pork prices are on the rise. Best to can bacon bits while I can still afford it.
Cutting up the bacon ends.
I wished I'd stopped to count how many three-pound packages I started with, but I forgot to. I cup up and cooked the bacon ends over a period of days, so I lost track. But it was lots of bacon ends.
Two packages (six pounds) of bacon ends filled up my pot.
Then I cooked it down. This took a long time -- again, I did it over a period of days -- because I prefer to cook it slowly.
I drained it about half-way through, and of course drained it when it was completely cooked.
When all the bacon was cooked down, I started canning. I re-heated the bacon bits, then filled pint jars dry (meaning, I added no other liquid).
Scalding lids and rings.
I came away with a total of 18 pints of bacon bits.
All meat gets canned in a pressure canner, 75 minutes for pints or 90 minutes for quarts.
Because of our elevation, I keep the pressure between 12 and 13 lbs.
Because I like having lots of bacon bits in the pantry, I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for additional bacon ends on sale. The more the merrier!

I put 3/4 pound of bacon in a pint jar, wipe the rim clean and can at 15 pounds for 90 mins.ReplyDelete
One tablespoon then makes excellent milk gravy. There are many uses for this canned bacon!Replies
How does one make milk gravy? Please?Delete

Skillet. About 1/4 to 1/3 cup of meat drippings (fats + crumbles and bits of meat). Medium hot. Stir in several tablespoons of flour (enough to make a thin paste). Sizzle paste while stirring for a minute (some like it long enough to brown). Slowly pour in milk while whisking briskly. As it begins to thicken, turn down heat. Season to taste. Keep stirring. When it's as thick as you like it stop adding milk. Let bubble lightly for a minute or two.Delete

THe way I make milk gravy-the same way my mother made it and that she learned from her grandmother-is this-- put your milk in a frying pan, heat-DO NOT BOIL_-add some butter(about a tablespoon to a pint of milk )melt. while that is heating stir 1 tablespoon of flour or cornstarch into some cold water to make a paste.. put some of the hot milk into the paste, stir. then slowly add all the now warm thin paste. stir, cook cornstarch until as thick as you want it, cook flour at least 5 minutes. you can make a varation on this by adding pan drippings from the meat you are serving. salt and pepperDelete

Thanks for showing us your method. I also can strips of bacon but using parchment.
Here is a really useful site. I may have steered you towards it before but I can't remember. (Coulda' been Enola Gay) It's called Zaycon Foods and 3 or 4 times a year they roll through town with a tractor trailer full of fresh, never yet frozen meats. You place your order, they email you when the truck will be there and you get right out of the trailer.
Last April or May, I bought 80# of Boneless chicken Breasts (comes in 40# box) and 30# or 60#(I forget?)of thick (15-17 slices lb) sliced Bacon (30# box) that I canned. the Chicken Breasts were 1.69 lb and the Bacon was $3.00 lb. It took me 8 days to can it all
Costs nothing to join and they email you when a deal is coming up. Right now, they have a Chicken Deal in CDA but you've got to order be Oct 11. They always sell out. They have multiple meats and fish but they only come available as Zaycon determines. Then they send you an email. You'll see under products. Read the FAQ for how it works.
Here's the site
Blessings for your work with this site.Replies
Thank you, I didn't know about this company! I've registered on their website and will keep an eye on their deals.Delete

my fingers are itching to can.....ReplyDelete
No liquid required?ReplyDeleteReplies
Except in the canner itself, of course.

Thanks for this really great post. I haven't 'graduated' to pressure canning yet. (Have only canned anything once for lack of space.)ReplyDelete
I will save this, and maybe print it out later, and hopefully use it one day.
How long does it keep?ReplyDelete
How long does he bacon last?ReplyDelete
How do you keep from nibbling bacon bits until they are gone? I would like a shot at that pot of bacon bits! I need to try my hand at canning meat. Bacon seems like a good place to start.ReplyDelete
I use just bacon fat for gravy. It does taste great.ReplyDelete
There would have been a lot of bacon fat after this project. What did you do with it?Replies
There's so much, I confess I just toss it.Delete

Patrice! Don't throw bacon drippings!!! Use it to cook your meat, make mayonnaise, fry eggs...it's indispensable!Delete
Use the fat to make soap, let it cool then put in a kettle with as much cold water as fat, heat till hot and stir well an let it cool again, once cole remove the layer of clean fat from teh top an use in your favorite soap recipe.Delete

Man, a house smelling like bacon for days and not being able to enjoy it. That HAS to be cruel and unusual punishment. I wonder how hungry your pups were..... did you notice any puddles of drool.

I am trying to choose a new pressure canner and I had a question. Does your All-American come with the option of using weights instead of a dial gauge? I have been looking at them online, but I can't tell from the photos. I see the dial gauges, but I don't know enough about pressure canners to tell from the photos if a weight is also included.ReplyDelete
Sadly, there is on one in our area to test or calibrate the dial gauges. When I called, our local extension agents acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. Also, in a grid down situation, I'm not sure I would want to have to rely on a dial gauge.
Any thoughts or insight you have would be greatly appreciated.Replies
The All American only uses a gauge, not weights. I do not believe there is an option to use weights, though you'd have to check with the manufacturer to be certain. For what it's worth, I've had my canner's gauge checked periodically and it's never been off in over twenty years of hard use.Delete

- AnonymousSeptember 27, 2012 at 12:46 PM
I just talked to their customer servise and was told that all of their new canners come with a dial gauge and weights. You can just use the weights and ignore the dial if you choose. They also said you can use the weights to test your gauge by adding the 10lb weight and when it begins its steady rattle you look at your gause to make sure it is reading in the correct range. Very cool!Delete

I have never seen bacon ends at our local grocery stores or Sam's Club. If you don't mind my asking, where might someone find bulk bacon ends?ReplyDeleteReplies
I find them at many grocery stores, though you might have to ask the Meat Dept. folks to locate them. It seems the smaller (non-chain) stores are more likely to carry them. Possibly your local grocery store can order bacon ends for you. I find bacon ends more cheaply at our regional Cash and Carry (a wholesale grocery). I don't believe Costco or Sam's Club carries them.Delete

I fell asleep last night wondering what an apple pie with bacon bits would taste like. I think I settled on smoked bacon bits in the apple pie. Could you please try it and report?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 25, 2012 at 8:07 PM
My All American uses a weight. The weight has a 5lb, 10lb, or 15lb setting and you use accordingly for your elevation. I purposely bought this canner because it uses a weight which takes all the guess work out of pressure canning by not having to keep an eye on the dial. It does have a dial gauge, which is very helpful to see when the pressure has dropped and you know when to open the canner however, you need to use the weight when pressure cooking or canning. Let your readers know if they can afford an All American then get one. I also have a Presto canner (not weighted) and I have the dial checked every other year. The Presto works fine, the comparison between the two is night and day. One I never have to worry about, the other I have to have the dial checked, the gasket checked, etc, etc, etc.ReplyDelete
Curious...what do you mean you cooked the bits over a period of days? Did you cooks them on a low burner consistently, or did you cook several batches of them?ReplyDelete

Bacon is $6.50 a pound here in Oklahoma and the butcher says it's heading to $8. I was able to find a quality brand on sale for $4.50 and canned it up. 23 jars today. My pantry is happy and the house smells AWESOME!ReplyDelete

My grandmother used to can meat. I've been canning for over 25 years, but never meat. I'm scared, but I'm going to have to bite the bullet and try this. Especially with the price of pork going sky high. I usually make gravy with chicken, sausage or pork tenderloin drippings, but I have made with bacon. But really, you can't go wrong with gravy.ReplyDelete
Patrice, just curious, have you guys ever thought about raising pigs?Replies
If you've canned vegetables, you can can meat. Easy peasy. The rule of thumb for ANY meat is this: 75 minutes for pints, 90 minutes for quarts. That's at 10 lbs pressure, adjusted for your particular altitude.Delete
Yes, we've seriously thought about raising pigs. It's on our someday to-do list, especially since pork is one of my favorite meats.

Ok, so I bit the bullet and bought 15.50 pounds of bacon ends and pieces today and paid $21.89. I am now cooking the bacon. It looks like in your pictures you cook them pretty crispy. Is this correct?Delete
Thanks for your help!
Kelly in K'ville
Some people like bacon less crispy, others like it very crispy. By all means cook it to your personal preference -- meaning, it's cooked to the point where you'd enjoy snitching bits of the cooked bacon from the colander after it's drained. Me personally, I like it about halfway crispy (if that makes sense).Delete

OK, one more question (maybe), what do you think the time would be for 1/2 pints? It's just me and my husband, unless the kids come to visit, which they will, I don't know what to do with a whole pint of bacon bits. Thank you so much for your help.Delete

I would keep it at 75 minutes, even for half-pints. Don't forget to adjust the pressure according to your elevation.Delete
- Patrice
- AnonymousNovember 4, 2012 at 10:05 AM
So, I was wondering...Could you put the cut/uncooked bacon straight into the jars and then pressure cook for 90 minutes? It seems to me that the bacon would be cooked through, though not crispy, and you would also be preserving the grease for future use. When you uncan, you could crisp up in a skillet if you wanted to. What do you think? ~CatReplyDeleteReplies
I don't see why not. Give it a try and let us know the results! Just make sure you can it for the correct amount of time (75 minutes/pints, 90 minutes/quarts), adjusted for your elevation.Delete

BexarPrepper on YouTube cans it uncooked and fries it up when she opens it, says it tastes great. I got some end pieces and I'm going to try it!Delete

I save myself a great deal of pain and just freeze those packages. Pull one out at a time and run them through my food processor. Makes for smaller bacon bits bus so much easier on my hands. I same the bacon grease, refreezing after I strain it though cheese cloth. I use it to flavor dog food, make and deep fry biscuits for my dog, etc. I also use it instad of lard for baking, making bird suet, and other such wild animal treats. I also gave some to a neighbor for his traps. I also use it to make bait for my old man when he goes fishing.ReplyDelete
What do you think the shelf life of a can of canned bacon bits would be?
I was wondering what the shelf life of a can of bacon bits might be?Replies
Years. As long as the meat is properly canned and the seals are intact, it can last well over a decade. Here's a blog post on some 13-yr-old jars of meat and soup I found on a back shelf of my pantry, which was still perfectly good:Delete
I've eaten ten-year-old canned chicken which was fine and tasted great in a chicken pot pie.

I love the idea of canning bacon bits. I've never heard or seen anyone else do that.ReplyDelete
How long have you been doing this and how long do you think they'll keep? I know you said you kept yours for a year. Im definitely going to give this a try one of these days. As it is, I just snitch pieces of bacon that no one grabbed & stash them in the freezer. ;)

You can save bacon fat in vacuum sealed canisters, or you can "can " it, with or without bits in it. Vacuum sealing keeps air out, as does canning.ReplyDeleteReplies

Hubby and I just put 6 pounds of bacon ends through our meat grinder. Then we just put it in our cast iron frying pans and let it cook for about 45-60 minutes and it was done. he took a few pieces out and had me taste test them, sweet man that he is. Crunchy but not too crunchy. They are currently canning now. We drained them through our colander first and saved the fat drippings to use as lard since that is all we cook with any more.ReplyDelete
Fish fried in bacon grease is wonderful but anything fried in bacon grease tastes better and browns beautifully. I also don't use artificial vegetable shortenings. Bacon fat or lard and olive oil for uncooked things. I'm canning the drippings along with the bacon bits this time. I usually just keep them refrigerated as I've only made small batches each time so far.Delete

(CNSNews.com) - U.S Secretary of Education Arne Duncan told CNSNews.com today in a video interview that "nobody" can be satisfied with the reading and mathematics scores achieved by eighth graders in
In the latest round of National Assessment of Educational Progress reading tests administered by the U.S. Department of Education in 2009,
In the NAEP math test,
CNSNews.com asked
"I think in any state you have fantastic schools and you have schools in the middle and you have schools at the bottom," said
As a followup, CNSNews.com asked
"We can point fingers lots of places," said Duncan. "My goal is not to point fingers, my goal is to get dramatically better. So in struggling schools, how we challenge students themselves, how we challenge parents, how we challenge the community, how we challenge teachers, the principal, the superintendent, the school boards, the business community--everybody has to be part of that solution. Everybody has to come to the table."

Hotel: Monaci delle Terre Nere
This hotel instantly caught my attention if only for the fact that it does not appear to be a hotel. The washed walls in moody tones, beautiful wood floors and old, old stone, mixed with more contemporary lines and antiques create such a welcoming look and feel. Not quite a bed & breakfast, though certainly not a large hotel, Monaci delle Terre Nere would be such a welcomed return after a day of site seeing and travel, don't you agree?

Interior: An Anomalous Office
To me, the workspace is everything, and relates entirely to productivity and creativity. Surrounded by magazine and books, photographs and a variety inspiration, I find my mind opens to ideas and possibilities. This workspace—with its eclectic and unusual mix of furnishings, angles, layers and textures makes me wonder about the person who designed the space, and more so, the person who uses the space. Judging from the fabric rolls, sampling and books, I am guessing an interior decorator—and you? What are your thoughts on this workspace?

New York -- Bi-Lo Holdings and Delhaize Group have received approval from the Federal Trade Commission to proceed with the transaction in which Bi-Lo Holdings will acquire substantially all of the stores in Delhaize's Sweetbay, Harveys and Reid's supermarket chains. As part of the deal, Bi-Lo agreed to divest 12 Delhaize America stores in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, and Delhaize Group agreed to retain two stores that were initially part of the deal.
"We have been preparing for the integration of the Sweetbay, Harveys and Reid's banners and store associates for many months and are delighted to now move forward and welcome them to the Bi-Lo Holdings family," said Randall Onstead, president and CEO of Bi-Lo Holdings.
Bi-Lo Holdings also announced its decision to close eight of the acquired Delhaize America and five Bi-Lo Holdings stores due to close geographic proximity.
"Given the number of stores we are acquiring, we anticipated that we may be asked by the FTC to divest some stores to close the deal. In addition, with the close proximity of some of the Bi-Lo Holdings and Delhaize stores, we also knew that we would have to close a few stores as part of the acquisition," Onstead said.
Bi-Lo Holdings initially acquired the Sweetbay, Harveys and Reid's chains from Delhaize for $265 million in May 2013. The deal at the time included 72 Sweetbay stores, leases for 10 prior Sweetbay locations, 72 Harveys stores and 11 Reid's stores, for a total of 165 stores throughout the Southeast.

text: Additionally, the bill will ensure that regulators have the authority to limit banks' risk-taking activities, although it won't include the Obama administration's proposed "Volcker rule." That proposal -- which didn't have widespread support in either party -- would force large banks to halt capital markets activities entirely. The bill will also reportedly allow regulators to oversee the activity of any firms that can sway the market, whether bank, insurer, hedge fund or otherwise. But once Dodd's proposal is officially released on Monday, it's sure to get immediate pushback -- not just from Republicans, but the banks it seeks to rein in. That's especially true for large firms like Bank of America ( BAC), Citigroup ( C), Wells Fargo ( WFC), JPMorgan Chase ( JPM), Goldman Sachs ( GS) and Morgan Stanley ( MS), which are likely to face the highest costs and biggest changes under the proposal. A preliminary indication of opposition could be seen on Friday, when the Banking Committee's 10 Republicans sent a letter to Dodd complaining about the timing of his bill, and suggesting it was put together too hastily. The banking industry's feeling toward reform might best be summed up in a comment from Edward Yingling, who heads the American Bankers Association. When asked how he felt about housing the consumer protection agency within the Fed, Yingling told the New York Times last week: "We don't care where you put it...We're totally against it." It's been over a year since the Obama administration first unveiled its proposal for financial regulatory reform. It's been nearly as long since Congress first took up the issue, and a few months since the House passed its own version. It's been several weeks of heated debate and tension, with compromise after compromise yielding no results. Democrats' morale has been depleted for some time, and with good reason: The health-care debacle; a stunning defeat in Massachusetts by Republican underdog Scott Brown; the Paterson and Massa scandals; and the dramatic departures of legislators who say they are tired of partisan bickering. But now that Dodd has flaunted an independent streak to put a comprehensive bill on the table, it's time for the rest of Congress to show whether they've got the mettle to pass meaningful reform.

The nine-year-old North Central Drug Task Force (NCDTF) made up of the counties of Mille Lacs, Kanabec and Aitkin, plus the Mille Lacs Band's tribal police, disbanded on Sept. 25.
The dissolving of the NCDTF came eight days after Mille Lacs County Sheriff Brent Lindgren on Sept. 17 requested and received authorization from the Mille Lacs Board of Commissioners to pull out of the task force.
By then, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Office of Justice Programs (OJP) had already been informed that Kanabec County Sheriff Steve Schulz and Aitkin County Sheriff Scott Turner were looking to withdraw from the NCDTF, according to OJP public information officer Nicholas Carpenter.
With Kanabec and Aitkin counties pulling out, that did not leave enough representatives on the NCDTF's governing board, therefore the OJP informed Lindgren's office on Sept. 11 that the NCDTF was no longer in compliance with state law, according to Carpenter. It meant the NCDTF would no longer be able to apply for 2014 grant funding to operate if the certification requirements were not met by Nov. 1, 2013. The OJP therefore recommended disbanding the OJP, Carpenter said.
Lindgren was put on the Sept. 17 Mille Lacs County Board meeting agenda as an add-on, Lindgren explaining that it was "time sensitive" for the commissioners at that meeting to approve of Mille Lacs pulling out of the NCDTF.
NCDTF representatives then met on Sept. 25 and disbanded the NCDTF.
Carpenter said that the unspent grant funds given to the NCDTF in 2013 would be retained by the state.
Carpenter added that the OJP will be sending out requests for proposals in 2014 for the funding of violent crime enforcement teams in 2015.
Lindgren, in his talk before the Mille Lacs commissioners on Sept. 17, alluded to the opportunity to possibly be part of a violent-crimes task force.
Lindgren lists reasons
Lindgren presented a couple reasons to the commissioners for disbanding the NCDTF. One reason he gave was that the law enforcement agencies in the partnership were finding it too difficult financially to continue assigning a full time agent to the NCDTF.
The other reason Lindgren gave was a changed drug scene in the rural counties of Minnesota. When the NCDTF started, the rural area had many backyard and even some mobile labs for manufacturing methamphetamine and law enforcement shut them down, Lindgren said. In one two-county area in the early 2000s there were as many as 50 such meth labs, he said.
Also helping in the fight against the manufacturing of meth was new drug-related legislation, Lindgren said.
Congress passed a federal law in 2006 requiring that all pharmacies in the U.S. keep all drug products containing pseudoephedrine behind the counter, and only sell them in limited quantities to any one person. The law also required the buyers to identify themselves and pharmacies were required to keep those names in a log book.
Pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient in the manufacture of meth, a fast-addicting, and debilitating controlled drug.
Lindgren told the county board that the NCDTF was ending fiscally sound, with a spendable balance of $108,372, plus $40,193 in pending forfeitures, "as well as the upcoming forfeiture sales."
Law enforcement are allowed to confiscate and sell certain assets of drug dealers when convicted and those sales have brought in revenue top police and sheriff's departments.
Lindgren continued that "drug crimes are still a concern," but added that his department will have a deputy assigned to narcotics. Also, when times are difficult the department has mutual aid agreements to call on for combined responses to drug activities, he said.
Lindgren mentioned Mille Lacs County's visionary process this year having identified gangs and drug education as community goals.
"This is a good time to re-evaluate and take the necessary time to set new goals and directions for the future, taking into consideration the citizens' views of Mille Lacs County," Lindgren said.
Aitkin County Sheriff Scott Turner said last month that his department believed in the NCDTF when Aitkin joined it four years ago but that "there is a shelf life for everything."
He added that he thought the NCDTF "made inroads" into fighting drug problems. The use of meth and marijuana has declined in the region compared to what it was years ago, he said. Asked about the use of heroin, Turner said "we're seeing an increase," and that "there always seems to be a drug of choice, a cyclical thing.
"In 2004 meth was an epidemic," he said.
Turner also said his county couldn't afford to provide a full time agent anymore for a drug task force.
The Princeton Police Department had been part of a drug task force with the Mille Lacs Sheriff's Department for a few years about a decade ago and then dropped out.

On July 26 the Aquarium of the Pacific welcomed its 20 millionth visitor, Andrea Chastain from La Mirada, California. Chastain and her family, including Travis Thurmond and kids Devyn and Rylee, were greeted by staff members and the Aquarium's polar bear and ray mascots, who presented the family with a gift basket from the Pacific Collections gift store, a certificate for an Animal Encounter at the Aquarium, and passes to the 4-D film playing in the Ocean Theater. The family was at the Aquarium to celebrate Rylee's birthday.
In fifteen years since its opening in 1998, the Aquarium has seen annual attendance grow to 1.5 million visitors. While attendance has grown, the institution has made sustainability a priority. Annual attendance has increased 26 percent while the Aquarium's carbon footprint has decreased by 20 percent, and water use has decreased by 30 percent.

The House of Bryant is responding to Lake City's efforts to change its name to Rocky Top.
Thursday night, city council members approved the name change,which is spurred by a company that wants to build a Rocky Top theme park in the city. The change would have to be approved by state legislators next year.
The vote was almost derailed by a letter from the House of Bryant, warning of possible copyright infringement if the town tried to make money off the name.
Rocky Top was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant in 1967. Their sons, Dane and Del Bryant, own the trademark for Rocky Top through the House of Bryant.
According to a statement from attorney L. Lee Wilson, "House of Bryant has marketed various products, itself and through licensees, under the Rocky Top trademark over the years and currently owns federal trademark registrations for Rocky Top for nine classes of goods. Further, House of Bryant has exclusively licensed the Rocky Top mark to the University of Tennessee for any product that also uses any of the UT trademarks, including the "Power T", the name of the university, and the color orange."
Wilson said the House of Bryant is concerned that the proposed Lake City theme park would infringe on both its copyright in the song "Rocky Top" and on its trademark rights.
"If the theme park sells Rocky Top merchandise, it would have to enter a trademark license agreement with House of Bryant. If the theme park used the song or elements of the song, it would have to enter a separate copyright license agreement with House of Bryant," said Wilson.
Wilson said the letter to Lake City was simply to make them aware of the possible issues in advance of any need for a lawsuit. They hope the issues can be "amicably settled."
At last night's meeeting, Lake City's vice mayor Michael Lovely "If he (House of Bryant Publications) wants some kind of royalty, then we can work something out on that. Because this is a win-win situation."
Wilson said, "Of course, House of Bryant understands the power of the song "Rocky Top" and its place in the hearts of Tennesseans; Dane Bryant and Del Bryant are merely trying to protect part of the heritage left them by their wonderful parents, who worked so hard at their craft and, in the process, made millions happy with their music."

BC Drops 3-1 Decision at North GreenvilleSeptember 14, 2013
BC dropped its first match of the season
TIGERVILLE, S.C. – Brevard College sophomore transfer Sarah Fonger picked up her second goal of the year, but it wasn't enough as North Greenville handed BC its first loss of the season, 3-1, Saturday night in Tigerville, S.C.
The Crusaders reached the .500 mark with the victory and is 2-2 on the year while the Tornados suffered their first loss of the 2013 campaign and sit at 3-1 on the year. North Greenville has won three consecutive matches against BC.
The Crusaders Lindsay Tuten found the back of the net in the 15th minute to give North Greenville an early 1-0 advantage.
The match remained scoreless until the 48th minute when Courtney Etheridge bested Brittany Webster to extend the lead to 2-0. Tuten struck again in the 54th minute to seal the victory and make it a 3-0 contest.
However, the Tornados cracked the scoreboard and avoided its first shutout when Fonger buried a shot past Taylor Kelley in the 87th minute.
BC was held to four shots while North Greenville had seven. The Crusaders held an 8-1 advantage in corner kicks while both goalies finished the night with three saves.
The Tornados look to rebound against USC-Aiken Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Aiken, S.C.

Nancy Huston Wins Bad Sex Writing Award; Reacts With Class and Aplomb
Inside of a dog it's too dark to read
by Susana Polo Dec 5th
we reported on the Bad Sex Awards, a program that "honors" not real people who have left their lovers unsatisfied in the past year, but writers who committed "crude and often perfunctory... redundant passages of sexual description" to page in their works of otherwise non-erotic fiction. 2012 saw a selection of nominees from repeat nominee Tom Wolfe, for his use of the euphemisms "generative jockey" and "pelvic saddle," to Paul Mason's "chrysanthemum." But there can only be one 2012 winner of the Bad Sex Awards, and she is Nancy Huston, for her novel Infrared. Read More

The Australian Orica-GreenEDGE have been labelled as predictable for their tactics in races finishing in bunch sprints by the very rider who showed them up in the first stage of the Giro d'Italia on Saturday.
British speedster Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) became the first wearer of the 3405 kilometre Giro's maglia rosa (pink jersey) by winning the crash-filled 156km circuit race at Naples from Italian Elia Viviani (Cannondale) and Frenchman Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ). With time bonuses on the stage finish, that left Cavendish with an eight-second overall lead on Viviani and 12s on Bouhanni for Sunday's 17.4km stage two team time trial from Ischia to Forio.
For Cavendish there was no denying his drive after being inspired by the way his teammates rode so well for him from the start of the stage, and the tactics of Orica-GreenEDGE, who had numbers in the sprint.
After a crash with 1.5km to go, a group of about a dozen riders was left vying for the win with three of them from Orica-GreenEDGE; Australians Brett Lancaster, Leigh Howard and Matt Goss, who finished fifth after leading and being swamped by Cavendish and the others with about 50 metres left.
Cavendish praised his teammates but revealed the added motivation Orica-GreenEDGE gave.
"Everyone was up for it. It was incredible, to see the fire in everybody's eyes to win here . . . After that I really had to win,"Cavendish said of his Omega Pharma-QuickStep teammates, then adding of the Orica-GreenEDGE team's influence: "GreenEDGE did the usual tactic of not riding and [coming up] with everybody at the end, you know . . . and I'm not letting that happen. I've got to win if my guys have been with me from kilometre zero. I'm really happy."
Cavendish's come-from-behind win on the flat run to the finish line and into a crosswind from the left-hand side of the road was stunning, considering he sprinted from sixth and after losing the one teammate he had with him, Belgian Gert Steegmans, whose chain slipped with 600m to go.
His strength and speed certainly left his rivals with a hefty challenge to beat him, although one that they are not unaccustomed to facing.
Orica-GreenEDGE sports director Neil Stephens attributed the team's inability to profit from its numbers advantage in the finale to the last crash.

Q: My friend and I are based in Japan and we're keen to start up an online retail store. There are several product niches we're considering but need to clarify something. If we're based in Japan would it be simpler to focus on the local market? We'd prefer not to for translation issues. Japanese consumers are also yet to embrace online shopping, unlike Australia or the US. Would it be too complicated to be based in Japan yet selling mainly to overseas customers, especially when it comes to shipping and taxes? Or would it be more advisable to be based in the country we're selling to? We've also had some success selling Japanese whiskies to overseas clients but we want to branch out. Any help or insights you could provide would be appreciated.
A. This is an interesting question and a difficult one to answer as selling alcohol internationally comes with a swathe of varying tax laws on import and export.
At the very basic level having a website to sell goods can be done from anywhere in the world. With the proliferation of PayPal and e-commerce platforms that allow for payments to be made anywhere it doesn't really matter where you're living.
The biggest decisions you will have (alcohol and taxation issues aside - for instance Thailand has an alcohol import tax of more than 300 per cent for larger quantities) is where to base your bank accounts and which country to locate your internet domain. Generally, a top level .com domain is globally accepted, although country domains are also useful.
There are many companies that can warehouse and ship on behalf of sellers. So you may never actually need to see the physical product, just process the order, manage the marketing and have the shipper take care of the rest. This is a sensible outsourcing model for your purposes. Just be aware of alcohol taxation issues if you're shipping liquor internationally.

Motorists in Corner Brook could soon be travelling a familiar stretch of road in a different direction.
With the next phase in the Majestic Square Storm Sewer project — which will go across the White House Lawn, next to The Western Star office, and Park Street — currently out to tender, the city is developing a traffic management plan for when the work starts.
Coun. Josh Carey said Tuesday the present thought process is that West Street will have to made into a two-way street during a portion of the work. Carey brought up the traffic plan while presenting an update on capital works projects at Monday's council meeting.
On Tuesday, he said the plan is tentative now pending the awarding of the contract and discussion with the successful bidder.
Right now the city is looking at changing the upper part of West Street from one-way to two-way traffic, down as far as to where it crosses over to Park Street between Chesnut Street and Todd Street. Whether vehicles will be able to continue to park on that section of West Street has yet to be determined.
Traffic turning left on Chesnut Street would still be able to access Park Street. Traffic coming up Park Street will be able to access upper West Street, Central Street and West Valley Road via Todd Street. However, this part of the plan depends on how the contractor decides to roll out the project.
The upper part of Park Street will be fully accessible for businesses in the area, just closed to through traffic.
Carey said it's not the intent of the city to prevent any business from being accessible at any point in time or to disrupt the services those businesses provide.
The timelines for when the plan will be implemented and for how long all depend on the contractor — when it can start work and how long it anticipates the work to bring the line across Park Street will take.
"That's why we're reluctant at this stage to release an actual traffic flow until we have an opportunity to meet and confirm with the contractors as to what will and will not occur," Carey said.
Still, he said the city wants people to know that a change is coming.
Carey also said the tentative plan is also the best scenario — the other alternative was to reroute traffic completely away from the area.
"A, we did not want to impact businesses adversely, and B, we want to make this as less confusing on the public as possible."
The traffic plan could be implemented prior to the start of construction so that individuals can get accustomed to the new route and Carey said there will be a lot of signage in the area and public education through the media.
While it is the city's intention to have the work completed this year, it still depends on budget.
When this phase is completed, the entire rebuild will be about 80 per cent complete. The project will later merge with the West Valley Road Storm System Replacement, which this year is set to go from Elswick Road to Cobb Lane. Carey said that work will create some congestion around that area.
The two projects are among nine capital works projects ongoing in the city this year. The total amount being spent on buildings, streets, sanitary systems, storm sewer and water systems is $33,043,331.
The city's multi-year capital works plan goes to 2017 and, by the time it's complete, another $10 million to $11 million will be spent. Funding for the projects is coming from a combination of sources.

Reader: Yelp reviews are by real people -- that's the real problem
Cafe Society had stooped to a new low with its list of the "Top five most ridiculous Denver Yep restaurant reviews,"Jennifer said. Obviously not, since we're going even lower by highlighting this response by Jay to Jennifer's comment:
50% of yelp reviews are:
A. "The portions were small, I'd rather go to __________ (insert chain restaurant)." B. "I never actually ate there, I just had a PBR at happy hour, but the menu looked expensive and had no gluten free options so I don't think I'll go back." C. "The food was not authentic. I know what authentic is because I studied abroad in ______."
At the end of the day, Yelp is real reviews by real people. However, most real people are dumb and useless.

This cache Intel 20GB 311 SSD drive for the z68 chipset is not your normal SSD.
This is a somewhat curious SSD that doesn't work like the others in the roundup. It is designed to work hand in hand with Intel's new Smart Response Technology, which is available on the recently released Z68 chipset. It is designed as a cache drive which is then paired with a normal hard drive. Much like Seagate's 'Hybrid' Momentus XT drive from last year the firmware then works to cache the most used data, effectively boosting your PC performance with minimal interaction.
The Intel 311 SSD also differs from the other drives here in its construction. Because the priorities for a cache drive are different to those of a boot drive, Intel has gone for high quality Single Level Cell (SLC) flash memory. This is ultimately more expensive per gigabyte than the commonly-used Multi Level Cell (MLC) flash, but because this is designed for caching Intel can get away with a smaller capacity than that needed for a boot drive, which lets it balance out the costs. (While the 311 wasn't shipping at the time of writing, Intel has quoted a USD price of around $110 for the 20GB drive.)
Unfortunately the nature of the drive means that our normal benchmark doesn't work on it. Because of the nature of caching it isn't an easy thing to test smart response. Some office focused benchmarks highlight the difference, but because the data caching is automated in the background, you never know if a drive benchmark is testing data on the HDD or SSD. If you are planning on building or upgrading to a Z68 system, this is a very viable option that you should consider, delivering near-SSD speed with little to no involvement beyond initial setup.

Funny illustration "Hidden Essentials" first created for Drink Me red wine in 2006. Since 2012, stories about Guardians can be found on bottles of Drink Me Branco.
The storyboard on the label is done by Steven Appleby, Canadian born cartoonist, and known for many drawings especially in The Guardian and Sunday Telegraph.
- Vinification
Vineyard burst was uncommonly early in 2011, and all the cycle was anticipated with harvest starting earlier than ever. Nevertheless higher planted vineyards went slower than the others, and when harvest finished, all the wines presented a good quantity of malic acid, which is a very important requirement for a fresh palate in the white wines that don't undergo malolactic fermentation. Harvest begun in the end of August, and after a quick pressing without any skin contact, the juice settled for 24h. Fermentation was made in stainless steel vats (75%) and French oak barrels (25%). The wine aged in these two types of containers for 7 months with fine lees, without steering and without malolactic fermentation.
- Tasting Notes
Citric coloured wine, with intense mineral character and strong citric aromas, peaches and white flower notes. On the palate, shows great balance and complexity, with juicy stone fruit flavours, and a refreshing acidity. Very long and salty aftertaste.

We have thought so much on this that we have decides to downgrade a few things in order for DH (dear husband) to be able to take care of all the finances and have spending money left over. In November we will do a "trial run" to see how things will be with just DH (dear husband) income and not mine. If everything turns out good I will be resigning from my job in Feb.
For all of the SAHM (stay-at-home mom) out there.. Do you enjoy it? What made you decide to be a SAHM? To working moms... Would consider being a SAHM (stay-at-home mom) if you have the opportunity to? Why or why not?

Desktops: Penryn PC Takes Power Prize
The first
CyberPower's Power Infinity Pro, which leads our Top 5 Power Desktops chart, is equipped with Intel's recently released 3-GHz QX9650 Core 2 Extreme CPU, code-named Penryn. Unlike existing Core 2 chips that the company produces using a 65-nanometer manufacturing process, Penryn CPUs such as the QX9650 are fabricated in a 45nm process that packs more transistors--in effect, more processing power--into the same amount of space on a chip.
We pitted the Power Infinity Pro against power desktops that use Intel's previous high-end CPU, the 3-GHz Core 2 Extreme QX6850: HP's Blackbird 002 LCi, the third-ranked CyberPower Infinity Pro, Polywell's P3503-3DT, and War Machine's M1 Elite. Running our WorldBench 6 Beta 2 and graphics tests, we compared the Power Infinity Pro's scores against the scores that these other systems earned in imaging, 3D rendering, video encoding, and gaming.
The results showed an average performance gain of just 8.5 percent in imaging, 12.5 percent in 3D rendering, 8.5 percent in video encoding, and 12.5 percent in gaming. Granted, those aren't quite the percentages that Intel claims, but they still show a definite performance boost.
One possible explanation for these results is that the applications in our WorldBench test suite are not yet optimized to take advantage of Penryn's new instruction set, called Streaming Single Instruction, Multiple Data Extensions 4 (SSE4), which can greatly speed up tasks such as some key operations in video encoding in an SSE4-enabled app. (Intel's in-house benchmarks, and the demonstrations that we saw at last fall's Intel Developer Forum, back up those claims for SSE4.)

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Beautiful resort in a beautiful location. The weekend we visited, there were a bunch of families (at a conference) who let all their screaming children run amok (probably about 30 children). They were loud, obnoxious, rude, and without any visible supervision. The resort staff did not do anything to alleviate this, which resulted in a poor atmosphere.
Wedding party yelling and music in back of bks till I called front desk at 2am
Beautiful views, great shuttle service around the resort. Mice! Woke up to rustling noises in the trash, where take-out containers from supper had been thrown away. Saw a mouse. Front desk staff came and took trash away, but did nothing else. Mouse activities continued. In the morning, dead mouse in toilet.
Free breakfast and swimming pool. Not closer to Franconia state park or to Mt. Washington.
it did it's job. The breakfast was good and included! The shuttle service that is included in the hotel resort fees you pay can take forever. The morning we wanted to go skiing, we waited with a group of people for over a half hour or more. It was an extremely frustrating start to the day.
Location is fantastic, and easy access to the skiing and the Mt Washington Hotel. I have stayed here a few time, and always on the second floor. This time we stayed on the first, and I could hear the people upstairs all night, and everyone walking in the morning. the rooms seem to have gotten worse with each stay
The Staff were awesome friendly and helpful, The coffee in the breakfast area was very good and having it available all day was perfect for people on vacation not getting much sleep.Overall good motel and great view would stay again. The room is a bit sparse could use a comfortable chair and maybe a desk or bigger table, The room was clean but the walkway behind the building was kind of dingy.
Beautiful location, very friendly, helpful and caring staff. Lots of activities, great shuttle service with super friendly drivers! Comfortable and quiet rooms!
Breakfast Na
We stayed here for a recent trip to Santa's Village. Most of the other guests were here for the resort. If your here for the resort, it seems like you will have a fine time. The views are amazing. Breakfast was good but they need more food, they ran low. I had a lot of issues with the WIFI my entire stay, but the check-out clerk kindly refunded the resort charges as a courtesy.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Indoor pool 1st floor rooms can get noisy from footsteps from 2nd floor. Creaky floors!
Amenities and golf course Got possible bed bugs from hotel.
The hotel was average, but overpriced for what it was.

By: James Turk
In one important respect, gold is like any other asset. You want to buy it when it is undervalued, and sell it when the opposite is true when it becomes overvalued. Thus, knowing how to accurately value gold is essential for sound portfolio management.
Because gold is money, its value cannot be measured with the standard techniques used to evaluate investments. Gold is not an investment because it does not produce any cash-flow. It is a sterile asset. Consequently, gold does not create wealth, nor for that matter, does any national currency create wealth. Currency in all its forms whether fiat or gold is wealth, held in the form of deferred purchasing power. This store of value function is one of any currencys most important tasks.
So when the price of gold rises, wealth is just being transferred to people who own gold away from those people holding the national currency being used to report the rising gold price. Wealth is simply being re-shuffled as I like to say to its rightful owners, namely, those who choose wisely among the different currencies available in which to hold their liquidity needs. Their wise choice is simply a matter of recognizing which currencies are overvalued and which are undervalued, so they own the latter and avoid the former.
One of the most trusted models that I use to value gold is my Fear Index, about which I have written extensively. Another trustworthy model is my Gold Money Index, which values gold based on its historical role as international money and global numéraire. Here is the formula.
The following chart illustrates the usefulness of this index.
There are two prices for gold in this chart, the actual price and its fair value price, which is calculated by the above formula. Back in the early 1960s when the dollar was still thought to be as good as gold, golds actual price was above its fair value. In other words, central banks had adequate gold reserves on hand relative to the quantity of dollars and other national currencies circulating in international commerce. But that relationship began to change by the late-1960s.
Because the dollar was being debased, golds fair price rose above its actual price, meaning that gold was undervalued. In other words, gold was worth more than the $35 per ounce fixed rate of exchange then prevailing. This $35 price could no longer be maintained because the dollar had become too debased and was overvalued, with the consequence that the dollars formal, fixed link to gold was finally abandoned in August 1971.
Thereafter, the gold price began to rise, but golds fair price remained above the actual price until 1974. By then gold had become overvalued, with its actual price exceeding its fair value. Gold had reached a point marking the first peak in that decades bull market in gold. At the January 1980 peak, which is also clearly seen on the above chart, the actual price again rose above golds fair value. The level of overvaluation reached by gold of course was not sustainable. Its price fell back, but remained above fair value until 1984. Gold has been undervalued ever since, as is clear from the following chart, which uses the data from above to show the degree of relative valuation. In other words, this chart presents, as a percent, golds actual price divided by its fair value.
The above chart clearly illustrates the extent to which gold is undervalued. As of June 30th, the actual price of gold was only 13.0% of its fair value, barely above its all-time low of 10.3% reached in 2008. Alternatively, this chart is telling us that gold no longer is money, and my valuation method is useless. It has to be one alternative or the other. There are no other explanations to this huge difference between golds actual and fair price. In my view, the first alternative is correct.
Having filled the role of international money for 5,000 years, gold has been supplanted by fiat currency for the past 40 years because of government force. However, this nascent experiment with fiat currencies is not going well, as evidenced by growing global imbalances, unchecked increases in debt and financial derivatives, ongoing debasement of currency purchasing power and worsening monetary turmoil. Fortunately, the attributes that made gold money in the first place have not disappeared or been lost; they have only been ignored or forgotten, with the consequence that golds unique usefulness as money remains. This usefulness is being rediscovered, as evidenced by golds rising price this past decade.
Despite this remarkable rise in the gold price, it is clear from the above chart that golds undervaluation has barely budged for more than a decade. The reason of course is the growth in the quantity of national currencies held by central banks (the numerator in the Gold Money Index) is rising about the same rate as the weight of gold held by central banks (the denominator in the Gold Money Index). So gold remains tremendously undervalued.
The logic of the Gold Money Index is founded on one underlying principle gold still is money. Things have value because of their usefulness, and golds value comes from its usefulness as money. It is money because the free-market makes it money. Consequently, governments cannot stop gold from having value, nor even stop gold moving in time from its present undervaluation to a fair valuation, which is presently over $11,000 per ounce.
We today look back at the Tulip Bubble, Mississippi Bubble and the South Sea Bubble with smug amusement and ask ourselves laughingly how could the people back then have been so foolish. No doubt people generations from now will look back at the present era of government-issued fiat currency and ask themselves the same question.

The Psychological Transition From Management Scientist to Manager
In this paper we endeavor to show how a management scientist maintains his integrity and individuality while changing from a staff position to a consultant position and eventually to a top executive position in a large company. It is a segment of a longitudinal study and is presented in a special format, which makes it possible to present the data at all. In the introduction we utilize an historical sketch of the management field to show at what time in the development of management science this particular person's career started and, thereby, some of the factors which helped mold his personal and character values. The vicissitudes of the problem are elaborated and background material given for the understanding of the issues involved. We hope to encourage others to present similar segments of longitudinal studies which, we feel, will help people seriously engaged in this field to develop theories based on clinically-gathered data and which will, therefore, be closer to the truth of what really happens under certain conditions in which certain human beings have an impact on large-scale organizations and vice versa.

Nasty 'Carnage' characters leave some bad blood
Despite their well-appointed meeting place and seemingly good intentions, the bourgeoisie characters in Carnage are anything but discreet or charming.
In fact, they're nasty, irritating and downright miserable.
Based on the play God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, the film focuses on a pair of uniquely unpleasant New York couples who shed their veneer of civility and reveal their savage essence.
It's painful being in the company of these obnoxious, privileged sorts, but some of their dialogue shines a light on contemporary society and human nature.
The two couples initially agree to meet to discuss a fight between their 9-year-old sons. One boy hit the other in the face with a stick and knocked out his teeth. Reparations must be made.
About the movie
* * 1/2 out of four
Stars: Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly, Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz
Director:Roman Polanski
Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
Rating: R for language
Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes
Opens Friday in select cities
The parents of the victim, writer Penelope (Jodie Foster) and plumbing salesman Michael (John C. Reilly), invite the bully's investment banker mom, Nancy (Kate Winslet), and workaholic lawyer dad, Alan (Christoph Waltz), to their apartment to discuss the situation. But what begins as a polite meeting soon disintegrates. Nancy vomits all over their living room and ruins Penelope's prized art volumes, while Alan conducts business overbearingly on his cellphone. Penelope pummels her husband, and Michael makes brutish and racist remarks. Everybody's on edge, trading insults with abandon. But, mystifyingly, nobody gets up to leave.
This seems a natural subject for director Roman Polanski, who has explored unsettling behavior in Rosemary's Baby,The Pianist and many other films. But in contrast to his deft touch with last year's intricate thriller The Ghostwriter, Polanski's direction here feels overblown, stagey and forced.
Early on, Nancy tells Michael and Penelope: "We're very touched by how generous you're being instead of making things worse. So many parents act like children themselves."
Confined in an airless space, everyone makes things worse. While the talented quartet play these hypocritical sorts with finesse, the story grows tiresome, its cynical point made early and often.
