Air Products Selects Proton for Hydrogen Electrolysis in H2 Stations
9 May 2005
Air Products has selected Proton, a subsidiary of Distributed Energy Systems Corp., as the preferred supplier for its electrolysis-based hydrogen energy stations.
Under the supply agreement, Proton's HOGEN hydrogen generators, which produce hydrogen from electricity and water using its proprietary PEM water electrolysis technology, will initially be used at three previously announced Air Products fueling stations to be placed in California in 2005.
PEM water electrolysis uses electricity, a catalyst and a proton exchange membrane (PEM) to split water (H2O) into molecules of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O). PEM electrolysis is essentially the reverse of a PEM fuel cell operation, in which hydrogen is the input and water and electricity the outputs.
California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) recently selected Air Products for fueling stations to be placed in Burbank, Riverside and Santa Monica. Air Products and Proton have also collaborated on fueling stations to be located in Vermont (earlier post), and at a station soon to be dispensing hydrogen for bus transportation at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

While there was much fun and games to be had at Myton Hospice's summer fete last Sunday, the event also hosted the official opening of a new luxury family accommodation block.
Warwick and Leamington MP Chris White declared the building, which houses two self-contained bedrooms, open at the summer fete on July 20.
Speaking at the event, he said: "I would like to pay tribute to the magnificent team at the Myton Hospices for the wonderful level of care they provide. This new accommodation will provide families with a very private space to be together through their visits.
"A great deal of attention has been paid to the design in line with the professionalism and understanding of people's needs for which Myton is renowned. It was an honour to be invited to the opening."
The two rooms, which stand on stilts in the hospice grounds, include sofas, flat screen televisions, bathrooms and balconies overlooking neighbouring fields. Staff say they are already providing a much-needed haven for families with loved ones staying at Myton.
The rooms were funded by a £442,000 Department of Health grant.
Myton's chief executive Kate Lee said: "Having a loved one at Myton can be a very distressing time and this is often made worse for families and friends who do not live locally and are faced with long journeys to and from our hospices. When patients are very poorly, their families often don't feel able to leave them.
"This is why it is vital for us to provide a comfortable place for them to rest, safe in the knowledge that our nursing teams will fetch them if they are needed."
The charity is currently taking registrations for its annual fundraising Moonlight Walk, which takes place from Warwick Castle on Saturday September 6. To find out more and register, visit www.mytonhospice.org

Poll: Public sector misses out on £7million due to council tax exemption for USAF staff at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall
PUBLISHED: 14:52 28 March 2014 | UPDATED: 14:53 28 March 2014
West Suffolk's public sector misses out on more than £7million in council tax every year due to members of the United States Air Force being exempt from paying the bill, the EADT can reveal today.
Thousands of troops from RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall living off-base across St Edmundsbury and Forest Heath benefit from the exemption under legislation agreed back in 1952.
However, civic leaders in the area said last night that the USAF contributes in "many other ways" to the local economy.
While houses in the bases' host district, Forest Heath, make up the brunt of the deficit, properties in neighbouring St Edmundsbury account for almost £1m of the shortfall, with 533 properties in Bury St Edmunds alone exempt from the charge this financial year.
Both bases contribute more than £500m to the local economy every year, while a spokeswoman for the USAF said yesterday that Mildenhall and Lakenheath pay an annual six-figure sum to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), which is handed over to local authorities to compensate for the exemption.
But Lindis Percy, co-ordinator from the Campaign for Accountability of American Air Bases, said the US military "get all sorts of perks" when stationed in this country, and called for a change in the law.
She said: "The US visiting forces and their families use the facilities and provisions provided by the local council that everyone else has to pay for. We are clearly not all in together with special arrangements made for them a long time ago. However the world is now very different from when this was decided in the 1950s.
"The loss of this large amount of revenue is much needed in these days of cuts, cuts and more cuts.
"This unfair and inappropriate exemption by the US Visiting Forces and their families needs to be changed."
In total, 4,214 houses in Forest Heath account for a shortfall of £6.13m, while 625 exempt properties in St Edmundsbury leave a deficit of £933,000, according to figures for the current financial year.
A spokeswoman for USAF said that between them the bases paid £769,500 to the MoD this year, as part of a national programme paid to local authorities that house military bases.
Local authorities are also reportedly compensated through the money they are awarded from central government.
James Waters, leader of Forest Heath District Council, said: "Putting aside the compensation the Government says it offers in formula grant, this just cannot be looked at in isolation.
"The economic value of the USAF based in the region in terms of jobs and support for local business means more people productively working and fewer claiming benefits.
"We have lived with this arrangement for a long time and understand that they contribute in many others ways. You have to look at the wider picture. As long as they are investing on British soil, it has to be of benefit."
The most popular place for the military to live is Eriswell, with 1,220 properties exempt.
More than 400 houses do not pay the bill in Beck Row, Mildenhall, Red Lodge or Lakenheath, as well as Bury, but exemptions apply to properties across the region.
Every town or village in Forest Heath has at least one exempt property, with 206 houses exempt in Newmarket, while the likes of Haverhill, Great Barton and Stadishall have houses that do not pay due to USAF staff.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Love Without Boundaries Foundation, Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Love without Boundaries aids orphaned children in China by providing medical assistance, both through surgeries and their four amazing specialized healing homes in China, foster care, education and orphanage assistance. What makes LWB unique is they only have Chinese people on the ground doing the work and all but three of their staff are volunteers meaning that virtually every dollar we give is used to help the children in their care. LWB is a great non-profit in every sense of the word!

Rob Ryan Buys Drinks for Saints Fans After Sunday Win
New Saints Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan is known as a free spirit! Following Sunday's win over the Falcons, his free spirit propelled him to buy "free spirits" for all the Saints fans at a New Orleans dive bar!
Ryan reportedly wound up at Uptown dive bar Ms. Mae's after the Saints 23-17 win over the division rival Falcons. The NOLA Defender reports that Ryan walked in and bought the whole bar a round.
Bartender Jason Matherne said, "He put down 100 bucks and was like buy everybody a round and keep the change."
Anybody who has spent a late night at Ms. Mae's knows $100 can buy a lot. Matherne says, "In here, that's like a fortune."
Ryan has been vocal about his appreciation for the lifestyle and atmosphere that living in New Orleans provides.
His persona seems like a perfect fit for the city. Let's hope that his defense ends up as a perfect fit for the team.

TORONTO - Back in the heyday of the Edmonton Oilers they used to say it was worth the price of admission just to watch Paul Coffey skate.
For the rest of this season and years to come, Toronto Blue Jays fans may be saying they'd pay just to watch Anthony Gose and Jose Reyes run.
Well, both Gose and Reyes were running Saturday afternoon and when they did excitement rode with them.
Gose and Reyes were circling the bases like Indians used to circle wagons in old-time western flicks and the two combined to score four runs in the Jays' 5-2 victory Saturday afternoon over the Oakland A's to clinch yet another series.
The victory was the fifth in a row for the streaking Jays, who have won 10 of their last 12 games.
The lid was open at Rogers Centre for the first time this season and the sun poured in and shined brilliantly on both Gose and Reyes as well as Jays starter R.A. Dickey.
On Friday, Dickey said the prospect of pitching with the roof open wouldn't bother him at all.

ADI's Stata: Microphotonics could be ready within 5 years
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCO Microphotonics could begin to replace some system electrical components in as few as five years if not sooner according to Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) Chairman Ray Stata.
Stata told EE Times Tuesday (Aug. 2) that ADI has a group currently doing advanced development of microphotonics and working with universities, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The group, he said, is beyond just exploring the possibilities and potential limitations of the technology and is actually working on product concepts.
Though hesitant to predict exactly when such microphotonic products would be brought to market, Stata suggested that it will probably be a lot sooner than most people think, likely within five years or less.
With the electronics industry quickly approaching a time when limitations posed by the size and speed of electrons become a constraint, microphotonics the science of directing and controlling microscope photons of electromagnetic energy is being developed as a potential successor to electronic system components.
MIT's Microphotonics Center, which counts ADI (Norwood, Mass.) among its prominent sponsors, is one of a number of top university programs currently studying and developing microphotonic technology.
"I think the whole world of microphotonics is certainly, clearly, one of the transition opportunities that will be integrated within systems," Stata said, adding that he expects that in some cases hybrids of electronics and photonic systems will exist within a chip. "Clearly, there are a lot of places where the speed and mobility of photons is such that they will be able to solve problems that electrons can't."
Stata, who co-founded ADI in 1965 and was a longtime CEO of the company, said one of the most desirable aspects of producing microphotonic products on a large scale is that it does not require a fundamental change in equipment set. A lot of the equipment that is used to make semiconductors or electronics is transferable to making microphotonics, he said, "so you don't have to completely reinvent the world."
The biggest challenge facing microphotonic technology, Stata said, is accumulating the engineering knowledge it will take to not only apply the technology to products, but do so on the high-volume scale that the industry will demand.

THE DUEL: Schools have right to protect property
In The Duel, 24 hours columnists David Eby and Kathryn Marshall battle over the issues of the day. Who's the winner this week? Fire us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC - Using high-pitched noise to keep teens away from hangout spots - good or bad thing?
With all his talk of "rights" this week, David neglected to mention the rights of children to safe schoolyards that aren't littered with needles and broken beer bottles when they come to school in the morning, and people's right to protect their property.
The reality is that the Mosquito device works. After schools were told to turn their Mosquitoes off, several Vancouver schools were struck by vandalism. And who pays the price? Students pay by missing out class and playtime because their schools and playgrounds are unusable due to damage.
Taxpayers also pay a price. They're the ones who foot the bill for the clean-up, like the $15,000 worth of damage caused by vandals at John Henderson Elementary and the $3,000 worth of damage to the Kerrisdale Annex.
Money that should be put towards things like school trips and team uniforms now has to be put towards cleaning up broken glass and erasing graffiti.
It looks like the Vancouver School Board also agrees that Mosquitoes get the job done. After checking with the health authority and after a rash of vandalism, they've decided to turn the devices back on.
Do the Mosquitoes target young people? Of course, because let's face it, it's probably not soccer moms and elderly folk who are spending time loitering on school property in the middle of the night.
Do Mosquitoes emit a loud and unpleasant sound? Yes, because that's the whole point. It's supposed to deter loiterers, not attract them.
This isn't the first time noise has been employed to deter loitering. You'll often find loud classical music being played in transit centres and under bridges to deter gangs from using these spaces as hang outs.
It's a cost effective way to try and keep public spaces safe, but perhaps David would argue that this is discrimination against people with a strong dislike for Bach and Mozart.
I suppose there are other methods to get the job done, like building massive fences with gates that lock and hiring security guards to patrol the school grounds at night. But I don't think the "prison look" is a good one for schools.
City bylaws already prohibit loitering on school property at night, so the devices are designed to enforce laws that already exist.
People and institutions have a right to protect their property, within the law, against whomever they think is likely to damage it. If the Mosquito device works, and doesn't hurt anyone, banning it is the pointless triumph of political correctness over a real right.

DJ Carey: Did I stop Kilkenny winning All-Ireland in 2004?
In part three of our exclusive extracts from his new book, DJ Carey reveals price of indiscipline
Sometimes I wonder if I cost Kilkenny the 2004 All-Ireland title. More especially, I wonder if my indiscipline cost Kilkenny the game. Now, a lack of discipline wouldn't be something that people associate with me – or, indeed, that I'd associate with myself – but on this occasion, I'm afraid I didn't maintain the standards I should have and it may have had consequences.
I'm not talking about anything that went on in the final against Cork, which turned into an absolute disaster for us, but rather something that happened three months earlier. The week before the Leinster semi-final against Wexford in mid-June, I played golf in a pro-am at the K-Club.
I was due to train with Kilkenny that night, so I teed off early enough to give myself plenty of time to complete the golf and head for Nowlan Park. The best-laid plans and all that. Bad weather delayed the golf and, as the day dragged on, it became clear that the times just weren't going to add up. There was no way I could finish the golf and still make training.
What was I to do? Walk off the course in an event I had been invited to a long time previously? Miss training with Kilkenny? In the circumstances, I felt I had no other choice. I phoned Brian Cody and told him I wouldn't be able to make it down that night. Typical of him, he made no fuss.
"Right so, DJ."
I felt bad about it, but what could I do? Besides, it wasn't as if I had a history of dodging training. In fact, I fairly rarely missed a session over all the years. I thought no more about it, but when the team for the Wexford game was announced, I wasn't included. I had been carrying a bit of knock some weeks earlier, but, as far as I was concerned, I was fully fit to play. Brian had other ideas. He never mentioned the missed training session, but I have no doubt it was behind his decision to leave me out.
Effectively, he had dropped me for a breach of discipline. What's more, he was 100pc right. I might have been on the Kilkenny team for 14 years, won lots of titles and awards, but I was still an ordinary member of the squad and, as far as Brian was concerned, I had let the side down by putting around the greens of the K-Club rather than putting in some hard work in Nowlan Park. There had to be consequences.
Nobody paid any great attention to my absence from the starting team, which was put down to me carrying some sort of niggle or other. I've never gone for that line when I hear about a player being left out. You're either fit to play or you're not. If you can't start a match, who's to say you will be any use if you're brought on?
I was well fit to play against Wexford that day, but was dropped. Plain and simple. Brian put me in my place and I could have no complaints. Nothing personal, just business. And in the case of Brian Cody, nothing comes before the business of doing what he thinks is right for Kilkenny.
He doesn't show favours, doesn't do grudges and certainly isn't into sentiment. Everyone is treated the same.
Some people said that he was wrong to start Henry Shefflin in the 2010 All-Ireland final against Tipperary because there was doubt over how Henry's knee would stand up to such a big test after he had been all but ruled out of the game a few weeks earlier. The implication was that he had been picked because he was Henry and had been on every championship team with Brian since 1999.
Rubbish. He was picked because he was Henry alright: the same Henry who had done so much to make Kilkenny the force they were. As it happened, his knee gave way early on in the final and he had to be replaced, but I still think Brian was right to start him. Henry had put in an unbelievable amount of hard work; the knee had stood up in training, so why not let him take his chance?
Certainly, there was no question of sentiment in Brian's decision, just as there wasn't any shown to me when he dropped me in 2004. Anyway, I took my place among the subs against Wexford and settled back for what I thought would be a relatively straight-forward win. Now, Kilkenny never, ever took Wexford for granted, but the form book was pointing very much in our favour at that time.
However, Wexford were in one of their really stubborn moods, which they do so well when the mood takes them, and dug in for a real battle. In fact, they led by a point with 10 minutes left. I had come in for Jimmy Coogan just before the hour mark. It was all square heading into stoppage- time when I got a chance for the lead point from open play. I nailed it, but there were still a few minutes to go and, right at the death, Michael Jacob scored a goal after a sideline cut from Adrian Fenlon hadn't been cleared.
Final whistle: Wexford 2-15 Kilkenny 1-16. I felt very badly about it. I'm not saying if I had been playing all the way through, we would have won, but, at the same time, I might have sneaked a point or two somewhere along the line. Suffice to say, I wasn't contributing to the cause by sitting on the bench for nearly an hour.
It was my own fault. I had broken the disciplinary code and, by doing that, may well have cost Kilkenny a place in the Leinster final. Now, instead of preparing for the final, we were headed for the 'back door'.
Suddenly, the season had taken on a completely different complexion. We were heading for the scenic route to the All-Ireland final. We got there in the end, but, in light of how badly we played in the second half against Cork, I can only assume the long journey had taken its toll. We beat Dublin, Galway, Clare (replay) and Waterford to reach the final, where it's safe to say we didn't do ourselves justice. Correction – we did ourselves a great injustice in the second half, a period which we lost by 0-11 to 0-2 and finished up losing by eight points.
It was a shocking day on all fronts. I didn't realise it at the time, but it would also be my last All-Ireland final. Would it all have been different if we had beaten Wexford? Would our season have settled into the routine to which we had become accustomed, rather than taking us on a new, much more difficult route? Would we have beaten Wexford if I hadn't got myself dropped? We'll never know the answers, but 2004 is not a year I remember with any fondness.

Baraclude Sanctioned for Severe Liver Disease
MONDAY, Oct. 18 -- Bristol-Myers Squibb said Monday its liver drug Baraclude (entecavir) has received expanded approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat chronic hepatitis B in adults with decompensated liver disease, a form of severe liver damage.
Baraclude was first approved in 2005 for adults with compensated liver disease, a less severe form of damage that means the liver still functions properly, the drug maker said in a news release.
Decompensated liver disease, by contrast, refers to failure of the liver to maintain adequate function, commonly due to severe scarring. Chronic hepatitis B often causes chronic liver inflammation, which can lead to decompensated liver disease, the drug maker said.
About 1.25 million Americans are infected with chronic hepatitis B, Bristol said.
More information
The U.S. National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse has more about hepatitis B.

Spec on transformer for Aleph 5?
Hello All, I am thinking of building the Aleph 5 and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what size, voltage rating etc. transformer I should use?
Thanks for any information.
Tony D.
Hello Tony,
I´m also building an Aleph5 (just finished drilling the pcb´s).
I will use one 600VA 25volt transformer per channel. This will give me the possibility to increase the bias current (if my heatsink arrangement will allow;) ).
The transformers are fully impregnated so I hope the mechanical noise won´t be too high......
Hi william, thanks for the info.
Plitron has a 625va, 25-0-25, 12.5amp transformer that looks good. How much capacitance are you using in the power supply?
I have decided to go ahead with the project and I will be gathering parts over the next couple of weeks.
I think I will use the circuit boards available at http://web.vip.hr/pcb-design.vip and make a custom enclosure.
Tony D.
Tony: you do know that you can get it locally ... done by Brian ...... in the Trading Post thread ....?
I have about 6 sets left for sale. View my webpage for more details:
They should be done on the 30th and then I will ship them out.
Doh! I did not know that I could use this board for the Aleph 5. Thanks for putting me right.
I assume it is just a matter of scaling up and down?
Tony D.
Yes, the boards will work for most aleph amplifiers, with a variation of the output devices, and a few resistor changes.
View the owners manual at passlabs.com and you will see the same basic circuitry for all of them.
tony d,
How can you use a 25 v trans when the supply for the a5 is 34v?
I am also looking for a trans for my a5 project and can only find the following 1)500va 35-035 7.14A
2)625va 40-0-40 7.81A
3)2x 300va 35-0-35 4.28A each?
What is recommended by the ones that know ?
By the way can you make two power supplies to power the two sides of the circuit or did I say something stupid ?
The ratings for transformers are almost always listed as an AC rms voltage. Therefore, you must divide by 0.707 or multiply by 1.414 to determine the peak voltage that the transformer delivers to the rectifier for your power supply. Calculate the voltage drop the rectifier has on your AC voltage and that is to what your capacitors will be charged. So,
Pretty close to 34V.

good news is your credit history won't go down atm bad news is you got a hard inquiry for nothing if it has only been a few days since you applied ie: around 7 days then I would strongly suggest you go for the CU card you want because you allowed 2 weeks to window shop in between getting cards and it will only show up as 1 inquiry other wise i'd suggest waiting 6 months improve your score in the mean time and apply for what you want at that time apply too soon for a 2nd card after apply for a previous one makes you look desperate and places are less likly too issue a card but the cooldown period is only 6 months between even though the inquiry is present on your report for 2 years

A Rocklin man who spent 28 years in the U.S. Army as an Airborne Ranger and public affairs officer, has written his first book. The main character in "Airborne Bunny" is based on the stuffed animals that many troops take with them to war as good luck charms or to remind them of home and family.
Command Sergeant Major (retired) Ray Cordell was inspired to write "Airborne Bunny" for his son after a friend's child -- who struggled with being scared of the dark -- was comforted by an old Army doll Cordell had given him as a gift. We'll talk with Cordell about his book.

I really like simply paying for a good product and keeping it running. Ok I may pay a premium but I'd sooner have something good than cheap.
I've never had such a problem with trying to pay for a product, Nor have I ever been treated so badly by a call centre person.
Their service made me sad and gave me lots of stress - Please go somewhere else unless you want the same. Worse Indian call centre I've ever used. They refused to listen, talked over me and hung up on me.
They disconnected my hosting: even after I'd paid, had reassurances from them that everything was fine, informing me that It was my problem that they couldn't see the payment from my bank. they treated me like I was inferior. All i wanted was to have a nice chat, give them some money and keep my service running.
I deserve better ... Don't you?

I feel like my drawing hasn't been improving very much lately so I decided to make a list of things that I have a hard time doing so I can have a list of things to look at and think about when I'm trying to improve.
1. Scaling a figure to a page BEFORE I've already drawn it and the person's feet are cut off
2. Objects interacting with each other, from one person holding an object or leaning on an object, to two or more people touching or touching the same object.
3. Coloring, watercolors, pencils, smooth coloring.
4. Facial expressions that rely 0% on stock Anime expressions (Y'know, ^_^, XD, vein, O_O, etc); the sub goal is figuring out how wrinkles over the nose, around the mouth, by the eyes, and on the forehead change an emotion since before I've mostly just worked with eyebrows and mouth and MAYBE eyes.
5. Eyes. In relationship to eyelids, each other, working on showing where a person's looking...
6. Textures. I can do a few textures, but only a few. And part of my problem with textures comes from...
7. Shading. Shading more than I do. Shading better than what I do. In more styles.
I also want to start using my quill and inks to draw.
So these are my goals. I'd say for 2014 but I'm really focusing on completing a finished, polished draft of my book for 2014 and I don't need the distraction of drawing. But maybe if I get it done in the first half, it can be my goal for the second half of the year. Or maybe they'll just stay goals until I feel good about my skills in that area.

My Partner and I have been using this product and we love it. We take one each night before sleep because the body is resting then and it gives the Milk Thistle a good chance to kick in. We have both been feeling so much better and seem to have more energy too. I highly recommend this product to anyone especially if you like a drink or too or if you have been taking medication it really gives the liver a good kick start.

- Great for bloating Review by Wendy
I have taken these as part of a diet to help with Endometriosis symptoms since March. I used to suffer from shocking pain and bloating all month and have found these help so much although I have also cut out most diary and caffeine. I read that if you have to much of a certain hormone in your body it stores in the liver and milk thistle is meant to help clean the liver. I'm to scared to stop taking them in-case my symptoms come back!

- Highly Recommend This! Review by Elizabeth
I had disordered liver results several months back and whilst I altered my diet to lose weight i also supplemented with milk thistle. My most recent results were normal and my specialist was amazed at the speed this had been achieved. I also note significant improvement in my early menopausal symptoms which was an unexpected bonus! (I stopped taking the tablets as I had run out and it was very noticable upon cessation the benefits i had achieved on taking this!). Thank you.

wikiHow to Make Tamarillo Chutney
Two Methods:Tamarillo chutney #1Tamarillo chutney #2Community Q&A
Use up a glut of tamarillos by making delicious chutney that will last well after the crop has been harvested.
Tamarillo chutney #1:
- 2 kg tamarillos, flesh scooped out
- 1 kg apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
- 1 kg onions
- 1 kg raw sugar, 1 kg white sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons white pepper
- 50 g pickling spices in gauze sachet
- 25 g allspice
- 1 liter (0.3 US gal) apple cider vinegar
Tamarillo chutney #2:
- 1.2 kg tamarillos, firm
- 750 g green apples
- 450 g onions
- 600 ml white wine vinegar
- 1 kg brown sugar
- 300 g raisins or sultanas
- 170 g preserved ginger
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 3 star anise
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
Tamarillo chutney #1
1Fill a large pot with the ingredients. Bring it to a simmer.
2Continue simmering for two hours. Check regularly and stir regularly. Keep an eye on it towards the end of this time; the mixture should thicken.
3Once thickened, remove the pickling spice sachet. Pour the remaining ingredients into hot, sterilised jars.
4Seal and store. Refrigerate once opened; consume within the month.
Tamarillo chutney #2
1Prepare the ingredients.
- Plunge the tamarillos into a saucepan of gently boiling water. After 20 seconds, pull them out with a slotted spoon or tongs and plunge into a bowl of cold water. Peel when they're cool enough to handle and chop roughly.
- Peel the green apples. Chop into chunks.
- Peel the onions. Cut into slices.
- Chop the preserved ginger roughly.
2Add the chopped tamarillo, apples and onions to a large saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
3Bring to the boil. Stir now and then.
4Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 1 1/2 hours or until it thickens and looks like a syrup. Keep a close eye on the cooking at all times and when it is becoming thicker, stir frequently to prevent burning on the base.
5Remove from the heat. transfer the chutney to the sterilized jars. Leave a small space from the top of the jar.
6Wipe the jars clean. Add labels and mark the contents and date.
7Place the cooled chutney into the refrigerator. It will store for up to 6 months but use with a week or two once opened.

Ben Affleck Has a Fun Flannel Shirt Collection
Ben Affleck snacked between takes yesterday afternoon while filming The Company Men in Boston. The cast hit a local golf course to shoot earlier in the week giving some fans a great celebrity sighting though Ben's performance on the links apparently didn't impress anyone. He might not have the best swing, but while in town he's proven that he's an old pro when it comes to family playdates.

We were expecting Verizon Wireless to announce the HTC One during their CTIA 'special event' yesterday and instead got to watch Jennifer Lopez announce Viva Movil. Given the steady stream of Verizon HTC One rumors that we have been seeing, it almost feels like stating the obvious when we say the Viva Movil announcement was a disappointment for some. That is not to say Viva Movil is a disappointment, but just that plenty of people seem to be waiting for a Verizon branded One.
With that in mind, it looks like there may still be some hope. HTC ROM developer, @LlabTooFeR has come forward with that bit of hope. The details are coming by way of Twitter where LlabTooFeR was asked if a Verizon HTC One reveal is still possible. His response did give some hope, though it was rather vague.
"It will be announced later"
Basically, it seems the Verizon HTC One is still expected to arrive but when is the question. This could mean later this week, later this month or even later this year. Lets hope it doesn't turn out to be the latter, but we do remain hopeful and will continue to monitor the news and rumors.
Looking back, there has been some convincing evidence. Sure, that evidence has been mixed with some speculation, however talk of WiFi certification filings for the HTC PN073XX and talk of HTC reps already using and testing a Verizon branded One have seemed believable enough. Then again, some of this speculation had been tied to the DROID DNA sale which ended back on May 21st. So how about it, anyone still think Verizon will announce the HTC One?
Otherwise, in the meantime, those who happen to have an upgrade available and happen to be feeling like they cannot wait any longer — the Samsung GALAXY S 4 has officially come available with Verizon Wireless today. Of course, if you go that route you are taking the chance of missing out on the HTC One.

Brad Park was named the top defenceman of the 1972 Summit Series.
It was a personal highlight after helping Team Canada win the eight-game set against the Soviet Union.
At the end of it all, Park also was able to finally spend some time with another great memory of that time.
His son, James, was born Sept. 3, 1972, perfectly timing his arrival on the day between the series opener the night before in Montreal and Game 2 in Toronto.
It's one of the reasons the blueliner who starred for the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings during his 17-year Hall-of-Fame NHL career is bringing his son to Moscow for the series' 40th anniversary celebration.
"It'll be great for him to get a sense of where we were and what we were doing," said Park, whose exploits during that series allowed Canada to win without the injured Bobby Orr.
Fourteen of Team Canada's players will be involved in celebratory games in St. Petersburg and then Yaroslavl, where they'll also mark the one-year anniversary of the plane crash that killed every member of the Kontinental Hockey League's Lokomotiv team.
Almost all of the Canadians have been back to Russia, although for a few the first time came earlier this year.
For Ron Ellis, it's his first time since 1972.
"The timing just never seemed right for me with my work," Ellis said. "And I really didn't have a desire to go back. It's hard to explain.
"But I'm ready now. I think this is going to be terrific."
Forty years later, the Summit Series is seen as a victory by Canadians for the fact the collection of NHL stars posted a 4-3-1 record. It's also seen as a victory by those on the other side.
After all, the Soviets proved they were every bit as good as the Canadians.
It adds to a perfect reason to celebrate the past and what's happened since.
"Back then, you'd talk about the Cold War, but I don't think I really appreciated it until we got to Moscow," Park recalled. "My first impression landing at the airport was it wasn't a busy place -- there were only a few planes -- and the army soldiers were walking up and down with machine guns.
"Coming from Canada, you never saw anybody armed in an airport. You see it after 9/11, but never saw it then. Not that I felt threatened, but I came away with the impression it was a different culture and a different way of life, and it made me uncomfortable."
This is Park's fourth trip to Russia since 1972.
"It's enjoyable. It's interesting to see how the country has drastically changed from what it was in '72. Moscow is much more cosmopolitan," he said. "To see it change, with the colours and brightness, is great."
Rod Gilbert thought he'd seen the last of Russia when the series ended. And was happy about it.
But he changed his mind about the former Soviet Union.
"I promised never to go back there," he said. "It was so depressing and the pressure was so high on us that I felt I'd seen that part of the world and was happy to leave.
"My wife (Judy) had never been there and she begged me to go a few years ago. It's really great to see all the history in that part of the world."
More Summit Series events are scheduled in Canada later this month, but one over-riding factor is who knows how many more opportunities this collection of stars will have to unite?
"We see each other once or twice a year, but we're looking at one final hurrah for many guys because we're not getting younger," Gilbert said. "It'll be fun to get together and reminisce."

Bonnaroo 2016 Lineup: Who We're Most Looking Forward To Seeing on the Farm in June
While the lineup leaked a week before the official announcement, there's still plenty to analyze and plan for if you're heading to Tennessee in June.
While the lineup leaked a week before the official announcement, there's still plenty to analyze and plan for if you're heading to Tennessee in June.
The Texas Renaissance Festival happens every fall outside of Houston, and Texans aren't the only ones who look forward to it. It's #1 in a new nationwide poll.
Austin is a good fit for many things, including live music, burritos, and flip flops. Now it's becoming known as a great place to host the X Games, and ESPN has announced the dates that Austin will host next summer.
Texas knows how to throw a festival that centers on food!
We've got the Tomato Fest in Jacksonville, the Blueberry Festival in Nacogdoches, and this weekend it's all about watermelon in Center.
If you don't mind the hour's drive, you'll be able to sample some watermelon, hear live music, ride carnival rides, and benefit a bunch of East Texas non-profits.
Nacogdoches grew by almost 20,000 people over the weekend when the Texas Blueberry Festival took over downtown.
Don't you love a festival that's centered around food? Texas is great at it!
The Texas Blueberry Festival in Downtown Nacogdoches is happening June 14th, and organizers said this week that Brookshire Brothers will be supplying the blueberries. You'll be able to try all things blueberry, and even pick your own if you want.
How can ya fully experience all of the great food and food festivals without weighing a million pounds? This may be the secret.
If you're planning on catching the food and fun, you have three days left to do it at the 29th annual Texas State Forest Festival in Lufkin.

KEARNS — Five people, all between the ages of 16 and 20, have been arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting Monday night.
About 6:15 p.m., five people in a silver Ford Mustang drove by a house at 4859 W. 4985 South. One of the residents was standing outside, and a person from inside the vehicle fired multiple shots from 20 to 30 feet away, said Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal. The windows of the home were hit but none of the six people on the property were injured.
An officer who happened to be in the area spotted the Mustang speeding away and pulled it over. Inside, he found a shotgun and empty shell casings, Hoyal said.
Police determined a 17-year-old boy was the shooter, and he was booked into juvenile detention for investigation of attempted murder. Hoyal said he was also a juvenile parole fugitive.
Guillermo Bonilla, 20, Kelly Parmao, 19, and Alberto Chavez, 19, were all booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of conspiracy to commit attempted murder and obstruction of justice. A 16-year-old girl was booked into juvenile detention for investigation of the same charge.1 comment on this story
Police say Bonilla was the driver of the vehicle. Then other occupants of the vehicle told investigators that Bonilla drove the car "to the residence twice for two separate shootings," a Salt Lake County Jail report states.
At least two suspects denied being in the car at the time of the shooting, according to the report. An immigration hold was also placed on Parmao.
A motive for the shooting was unknown Tuesday. But Hoyal said the five arrested have known gang ties and investigators were looking into whether the shooting was gang-related.
All of the adults have minor or no adult criminal histories, according to state court records. Bonilla took a plea in abeyance in August to misdemeanor drug-related charges.

Our Worthopedia continues to grow. There are now somewhere close to 2 million individual items from auction companies, worthologists and subscribers on just about every collectible imaginable. It is a tremendous resource.
I occasionally browse the Worthopedia for a few notable political items at random and feature them in a blog to draw attention to this rich resource. Feel free to add a political item in your collection here. It'll show up in the Worthopedia, too. All of the links for each item highlighted here will appear at the end of the blog.
Let's begin today with an unusual set of William McKinley buttons, circa 1900, marked Trans Mississippi Expedition and produced by the Cudahy Packing Company of Omaha, Nebraska. Sold by Proxibid, Inc. for $50.
Next is a very rare Abraham Lincoln plaque created by V.D. Brenner in 1907. It is all original, stamped no. 2 which is believed to be the second one made, the whole being etched in green onyx. Sold by Proxibid, Inc. for $2,300.
A Susan B. Anthony complete handwritten letter is next with a full signature on letterhead from the National Women Suffrage Association dated Feb. 5, 1885. To an unnamed male correspondent, `My Dear Sir, That you may work for the establishment of perfect equality of rights for women – civil and political – is the hope of, Yours Sincerely, Susan B. Anthony.` Sold by Freeman's for $1,400.
We always like to see the early flasher buttons, the ones that change the image when you move it back and forth. This set of buttons and tabs from the 1960 campaign features just such a JFK flasher button and several more from the same campaign. Auctioned by Proxibid, Inc. for $85 the lot of 7.
Well, we've done buttons for Democratic JFK, now we can show Republican convention buttons, pins, watches, jewelry and other give-a-aways for Richard Nixon and Eisenhower, probably for the 1956 and 1960 campaigns. Sold by Ivey-Selkirk Auctioneers for $100 the lot.
Lastly, a very nice color version of a 1904 campaign button for Theodore Roosevelt. It shows TR on the horse depicting his service in the Spanish-American War, presumably about to storm up San Juan Hill, as the legend tells us. Sold by Proxibid, Inc. for $250.00

More than a dozen Fairmont residents came out Thursday for the first "Fairmont 101" class.
The class educates residents about local government and the history of Fairmont.
It's modeled after a program used in Decatur, Georgia.
Each class highlights a different topic, including budget and finance, public safety, utilities, public works and quality of life.
"Between the two classes we are looking from 30-32 who have signed up. So that's not bad for a first year. hopefully those people go out through programs, clips from the news, more things like channel 19, so next year we will have a full class," said Jay Rogers, Fairmont city manager.
The two courses hold up to 20 people each, and will be held over the next eight months.

Banana firms Chiquita and Fyffes have revised some of the conditions of their proposed $1.07 billion merger, announced last month, but no material change to the merger will result.
The changes mean that there will be a single European Union anti-trust filing to do with the merger, and Fyffes will have a derogation from the Irish Takeover Panel in advance of that.
It is thought the changes will speed the process of the merger.
The firms have agreed to combine by the end of the year, with Chiquita shareholders owning about 50.7% of the combined entity - ChiquitaFyffes Limited - and Fyffes shareholders owning approximately 49.3%.

Free Social Story When Can I Touch Myself ( Boys Version( : This Package Includes : 13 pages
Puberty can be a difficult time for teens and parents. Parents find the time challenging as they have to explain the changes that are taking place, appropriate social skills and, help the teen cope with changes happening in their body. As part of my puberty section, I am trying to break down some of the issues that are relevant to teens with Autism and developmental disabilities.
I had to explain to my own son Niam, when it was appropriate ( private places ) and inappropriate ( public places) to touch themselves. I found myself often prompting Niam verbally and reinforcing when he forgot. I wrote this social story for him, but would like to share it with all of you. I chose the bedroom as a private place rather than a bathroom, as bathroom can be found at friends homes, restaurants , shopping centres. This is something important to keep in mind when teaching what rooms are private.
Hope this books helps you.
This free social story can also be used as part of a reading program or behaviour management program. Use the book to talk, ask questions and answer questions.
This is a great ABA Resource, school education program, social story and free printable worksheet for your students as part of a home living program, parental resources and school program to reinforce important skills for children with Autism and other developmental disabilities.
The resource can be laminated for longevity and used in the classroom or at home to help your child learn an essential life skill.
Check out our other great social stories for teachers and students. We have many social stories you can download for your student.
From our family to yours, we encourage learning and hope you enjoy these materials. I want to see all of our children reach their best potential.
Please leave some feedback and share us on social media.

Clear and simple
Excellent social story for the male learner beginning to experience puberty. The story is specific, but not graphic, and provides a clear message about what is socially expected behavior.

In Reply to: Insults posted by ESC on April 01, 2001
: : : I am currently dealing with some people on a different site who appear to feel that they are far better educated than the rest of us poor shlubs. Any written insult (chock full of vocabulary) that could tell these people where to go would be greatly appreciated.
: : www.insults.net offers lots of insults to choose from. But what do you want to accomplish, matching them in graduate-school vocabulary or making them take a second look at themselves? I haven't found that hurling insults at people wins them over to my side. (This is the voice of experience here.) Another thing about insults: One size doesn't fit all.
: : You asked for prepackaged insults, not advice. I'll say only that if this were my problem, I'd use the following strategy: First take some time to cool off. Then figure out exactly what annoys me about these people. Then articulate it in a way that I think they can understand, and post it.
: For crude (and funny) you can't go wrong with the insult section of Outrageous Aussie Sayings http://www.sunburntcountry.au.com/sayings/
I agree that they are crude and funny, but perhaps verbal abuse is just as unwelcome on the other site as on this one.

More about the cat's skeleton:
The skeleton is the internal framework of your cat's body consisting of the bones, ligaments, and tendons. It can be broken up into sections known as axial, visceral and appendicular.
- The axial skeleton consists of the head, vertebrae, ribs, and sternum.
- Visceral skeleton contains the bones of the soft organs such as the inner ears, penis, throat.
- Appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the legs and pelvis.
Furthermore, bones can are classified by their shape.
- Long bones – Found in the legs and feet their role is to support weight, allow large movement. These bones are longer than they are wide.
- Flat bones – Located in some parts of the skull, the sternum, shoulders, ribs and the pelvis, these bones protect the internal organs.
- Short bones – Found in the wrists (carpals) and ankles (tarsals). They provide stability and fine movement.
- Irregular bones – Found in the vertebrae and some parts of the skull.
What do the bones do?
The bones have five major functions:
- Support and stability – They are the framework of the cat's body.
- Protect – The bones surround the delicate and vital organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys etc.
- Blood cell production – All of the blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.
- Movement – Muscles are attached to the bones by the tendons.
- Storage – Calcium and phosphorous, which is released when needed.
Certain bones may also provide additional functions such as the tail which is used for balance and communication, the ear bones to assist with hearing and the penis bone which helps the male keep a prolonged erection.
Cat head – There are 29 bones in the cat's head. The feline head can be loosely broken into the skull, face (eyes, nose, cheeks) and jaw. The thick skull bone protects the cat's delicate brain, other bones include the jaw bones (mandible and maxilla), nasal bones, cheek bones and eye orbit.
Cat neck and spine – These bones are known as vertebrae and run along the upper part of the cat's body from the skull to the tail. There are 7 neck bones, 13 back bones, 3 sacral bones and 20-23 tail bones The cat's vertebrae is not as tightly connected as that of the human, with much greater elasticity in the disks between the bones, making it much more flexible.
Cat ribs – The ribs surround the chest cavity on either side, there are 13 pairs of rib bones in the cat.
Cat shoulders – The shoulder blade is known as the scapula. Unlike in people, the scapula is not attached to other bones, it is held in place by muscles.
Cat pelvis – The pelvis is divided into two halves, each containing three bones, the ilium, ischium and the pubis.
Sternum and clavicle – Also known as the chest bone, the sternum is a flat bone in the chest protecting the heart and lungs, the ribs connect to the sternum via cartilage. In humans, the clavicle attaches to the sternum and shoulder blades, however, in cats, this tiny bone is located deep within the chest muscle. This makes the cat's chest much narrower and deeper than other mammals, increasing the length of his stride and allowing him to squeeze into narrow places.
Cat legs – The bones of the legs are known as 'long bones'. The long bones of the foreleg consist of the humerus in the upper leg and the lower leg has the ulna and radius bones. Below these are the carpal (wrist) bones followed by the toes. The cat's hind leg consist of the femur (upper leg) and the tibia and fibula below that. The cat's rear foot connects the tibia and fibula to the tarsal bones, a group of seven bones
Wrists and /ankles/heels – Connecting the legs to the feet on the foreleg are the carpal (front legs) and tarsal (rear legs) bones.
Feet (excluding toes) – Cats have metacarpals in their front legs and metatarsals in their hind legs. Each front foot has five metacarpal bones and each hind foot has four metatarsal bones.
Toes – Cats have five toes (also known as phalanges) on the front (foreleg), one of these toes is the dew claw which sits higher up on the foot, not coming into contact with the ground, and four toes on the rear (hind leg). Each cat toe has three bones, the distal, middle and proximal phalange. The cat's claw is attached to the proximal phalange. Cats are digitigrade, meaning they actually walk on their toe (unlike humans who walk on the flat of the foot). When a cat is declawed, the claw along with the proximal phalange are amputated. Some cats have additional toes, known as polydactyly (or Hemingway cats). Certain breeds are more prone to this including Maine Coons and Bobcats.
Tail – The final section of the vertebrae, the cat's tail consists of between 20 and 23 bones.
Throat – The throat contains an unusual bone called the hyoid. Its principal function is to anchor the tongue, it is also believed that it helps lions produce their characteristic roar and in domestic cats, their purr.
Penis – The male cat has a small bone in the penis (as do many mammals), this allows the penis to remain hard during copulation, meaning he can do so for extended periods of time.
Inner ears – Known as ossicles, these tiny bones of the inner ear which help to amplify sound.
Disorders of the bones:
- Cancer – Cancer is the unchecked growth of certain cells within the body. It may be primary or secondary. Primary cancer is the original site, and secondary cancer is where a cancer has spread from its primary location to another part of the body (known as metastasis). There are several types of cancer to affect the bones including osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and chondrosarcoma.
- Broken bones – The most common breakages cats suffer are a broken jaw, pelvis, and legs.
- Polydactyly – Some cats are born with additional toes caused by a dominant gene. In most cases, this causes no problems for affected cats.
- Vitamin A toxicity – This can result in excess bone growth (known as exostosis), especially in adult cats.
- Osteodystrophy – This is a genetic condition which affects Scottish Fold cats. Bones of the spine and feet are affected by the formation of bony growths.
- Bone infections – Known as osteomyelitis, bone infections are most often caused by bacteria, but fungal infections may also invade the bone. Infections can invade the bone (which is porous) or enter the bone directly via an injury.
- Rickets – This condition is usually caused by a lack of vitamin D in the diet. Young cats are most often affected, with a bending of the long bones.

HOUSTON -- A few thoughts on the Seattle Seahawks' 23-20 overtime victory against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium.
What it means: Even on a day when the Seahawks looked awful in many areas of the game, they still found a way to win, pulling off a stunning come-from-behind victory on the road. This game showed the Seahawks have some problem areas on the offensive line and can give up big yards on defense. But it was quarterback Russell Wilson's scrambling and running downfield that got Seattle back in the game in the fourth quarter. Then a Richard Sherman 58-yard interception return for a touchdown tied the game before a Steven Hauschka 45-yard field goal won it. This is the first time the Seahawks have ever won the first four games in a season.
Stock watch: An awful day for the Seattle offensive line, but no one should be surprised with three starters injured. Free safety Earl Thomas had an early interception off a tipped ball and Sherman tied it in the fourth quarter with the pick-six, but the Seahawks struggled on defense in the first half. It was a season-worst day for the defense early, but things changed in the second half and overtime when the Seahawks' defense looked like the No. 1 unit in the NFL.
First half woes: The Seahawks gave up 324 yards in the first half, including 226 yards passing. The Texans led 20-3 at the half after Houston receivers were wide open in the middle of the field against the highly acclaimed Seattle secondary. What happened?
Wilson a sitting duck all day: With three starters out on the offensive line, including Pro Bowlers Max Unger and Russell Okung, the backups up front were no match for defensive end J.J. Watt, linebacker Whitney Mercilus and the other Houston pass-rushers. Wilson was sacked five times and under pressure on almost every pass play, yet still managed to bring the Seahawks back in the fourth quarter and lead the team to victory.
What's next: The Seahawks travel to face the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. It will be the second consecutive 10 a.m. PT start time for the Seahawks and the third of five 10 a.m. starts this season.

While we do like our high end brands, it's always nice to have someone mistake your high street buys for more expensive pieces. So when we saw that Uniqlo had dropped some corduroy jeans, we had to get a closer look.
Firstly we should address the 'no wale' in the title. A wale is the raised line that run lengthwise down the corduroy. It's this line that gives corduroy that 'ribbed' look that so many intrinsically link to corduroy. Uniqlo have decided to do away with this on these cords, hence the 'no wale' in title.
They're a little lighter than the cords Uniqlo did last year, making them slightly more suited for early autumn wear. Coming in various colours at a grand total of £20, there's really no reason for not giving at least one pair a go. (Uniqlo)

Stock Up on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Fill your pantry with fruits and vegetables, which cook quickly. This way your sides are always fresh and can easily be steamed on the stove top or microwaved in minutes. Go with seasonal fruits and veggies, which also keeps costs down. You can even start the week by slicing and dicing veggies and then keeping them crisp in ziplock bags for later in the week. Thinly slice celery, carrots, and zucchini for stir-fry or chop carrots, potatoes, and leeks for a hearty stew. Wash and dry lettuces, wrap several leaves in paper towel, and then store them in large plastic bags for quick salads.
