If you looked at the most common search terms used to find our blog, you would think it was a ground cherry blog. That makes me think there must not be many others writing about ground cherries. Today, I want to share another ground cherry post.
ground cherry jam photo by vsimon
The ground cherries are still producing in our garden. Enough to make golden, seedy jam. Vincent made up his own orange kissed sweet recipe.
What you should know about this recipe.
Vincent used a whole orange with the rind, but no seeds. The orange was cut into 1/8th inch slices, give or take. Then chopped, in to little chunks.
The pectin he used was for lower sugar recipes. Even so, this jam is half fruit, half sugar. And he used approximately half a packet, just eyeballing it.
Oh, and I discovered the pectin he used was marked: Use Before May 19, 2000. (!) The jam jelled, we have eaten a whole jar, and have not died. Or even gotten sick. Apparently pectin lasts a long time.
Obviously, we hadn't made jam in many years. This year we are catching up. In addition to ground cherry, Vincent has made currant, plum, tomato (red and yellow), and tomatillo jams.
You will measure the ground cherries twice. Once before you start the recipe, so you know you have enough fruit. The second measurement is after they are cooked. This tells you how much sugar to add.
Ground cherry jam tastes as beautiful as it looks. The orange flavor really comes through. Not as strong as orange marmalade, but still noticeable. The cinnamon flavor is subtle.
It is pictured here on a millet wonder bun. Those, from scratch to ready to eat in five minute, wonders. See a wonder bun video on the pantry page. Scroll down a bit.

Ground Cherry Jam
Yield: about 5 half pints
4-5 cups ground cherries, (de-papered)
1/2 cup water, maybe a little more
1 orange
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 1.75 oz packet pectin
Remove husks from the ground cherries, then measure the first time.
Put cherries in large stew pot and crush so that they are all at least broken.
Heat to a boil along with enough water to get them to cook without burning, about ½ cup.
Boil 2 minutes.
Measure cooked berries, this is the amount of sugar to add later.
Return ground cherries to the pot.
Add the chopped orange with any juice that is oozing away.
Add ground cinnamon if using, and the pectin.
Bring mixture to full boil, boil 1 minute.
Add sugar in an amount equal to the volume of cooked ground cherries.
Bring to full boil for 5 minutes.
Put into jars and hot water bath process for 10 minutes.
I hope you love the fruits of V's labors as much as I do.

Antonio Berardi Spring 2013
There's so much going on with hemlines this season, don't you find? Rarely is there a skirt in the western-fashion hemisphere with the temerity to present itself with a regular, straight-across hem. No, and as far as self-respecting skirts are concerned, it should only be seen on a runway if it's constructed of multiple fabrics and has something dippy or wrapped or transparent or slitted going on. And more than a few designers have contrived to manage all at the same time.
Antonio Berardi is one designer who's been analyzing this movement, but more as a tool to enable women to stretch their wardrobes (and their budgets) by layering pieces in new ways. His opening look (and several others) featured his take on the dippy hem (in his case, it's a double-sided-dip) with another skirt worn underneath. "I was thinking about how a girl could switch things out. You could layer shorts under that dress or a pair of cigarette pants. Or you can wear it on its own," he said. "I looked back at how couture used to be worn. It was not as a monolithic one-hit wonder, but as pieces you could wear in different ways for years."
Berardi's jackets are another such item. He's an impeccable cutter, and pieces like his modernist spencer jackets are just the kind of semianonymous tailored gems that will slip into a personal dressing repertoire with ease. He also has his own take on this season's rising trend on so many runways: the blazer and narrow, ankle-cropped trouser. And though he said he'd worked on making this collection "sportif" by using a foamy-textured Aertex fabric, there was also the knockout turquoise-on-white beaded full-length column dress competing for attention. It had a short jacket and a sinuous narrow skirt that, come to think of it, had nothing abnormal going on with its hem at all. But that fact won't stop it from being the one dress that red-carpet contenders will be making a beeline for come awards season. It's a Berardi classic.

U.S. corn and soybean futures dropped on Tuesday, pressured by improving weather for the crop in Brazil and slumping demand for U.S. exports, traders said.
"Brazilian weather is about as close to perfect as you are going to get," said Sterling Smith, futures specialist for Citigroup in Chicago. "That is taking a little bit of risk premium out of the market."
In Brazil, some much-needed dry weather was expected through Thursday, giving farmers time to plant corn and soybeans. The forecast calls for storms to bring 1/2 inch to 1 inch this Friday and Saturday, with intermittent scattered showers expected for next week, said John Dee, meteorologist for Global Weather Monitoring.
U.S. wheat futures, which have dropped for four days in a row, also were lower due to technical selling. The Chicago Board of Trade benchmark soft red winter wheat contract has fallen nearly 4 percent over that time even though top wheat buyer Egypt purchased U.S. supplies for the first time in months.
Traders said the soybean market also was technically weak after failing to close above the 200-day moving average on Monday. Prices briefly pushed throughout that level but were unable to hold support.
At 10:19 a.m. CST (1619 GMT) , CBOT January soybeans were down 9 cents at $14.39-1/4 a bushel. CBOT March corn was 3-1/4 cents lower at $7.51-1/2 a bushel and CBOT March wheat was down 4-1/2 cents at $8.56-1/4 a bushel.
Wheat's failure to rise above its 50-day moving average following the Egypt deal spurred the technical sales earlier this week.
The improving weather in South America threatens to further erode demand for U.S. corn and soybeans on the export market. Taiwan's Maize Industry Procurement Association (MIPA), formerly known as Taiwan's Members Feed Industry Group (MFIG), purchased 60,000 tonnes of corn to be sourced from Brazil in a deal late last week, European traders said on Tuesday.
Poor soy crushing margins in China raised the prospect of a boost to stocks of the oilseed in the United States as the world's top buyer cuts back its purchases, Citigroup's Smith said.
Australia lowered its forecast for wheat production this year, the cuts were already factored into the market, traders said.
The Australian forecast for the 2012/13 marketing year was lowered from an estimate of 22.54 million tonnes in September and follows a record harvest of 29.5 million tonnes last year, data from the government's commodities forecaster showed on Tuesday.
Wheat production was curbed by poor rainfall on the east coast and Western Australia, the largest wheat producing areas.

The London Health Sciences Centre has added 26 new patients to the count of people who received watered-down chemotherapy treatments over the past year.
Earlier this month, a hospital in New Brunswick and four hospitals in Ontario, including Windsor Regional Hospital, alerted the public that about 1,200 patients had received diluted doses of cancer drugs intravenously over the course of about a year. Marchese, the company that prepared the IV solution and supplied it to hospitals, has said it prepared the bags according to its contract.
In a release, London Health Sciences said the hospital discovered it had underestimated the number of affected patients in a review of the original count.
"This initial assessment was conducted by a clinical team convened to review these files day and night in order to identify affected patients as quickly as possible, with the aim of ensuring they heard from the hospital first about this unfortunate situation," the hospital said in a release. "LHSC has since conducted a second review as a due diligence measure."
The 26 additional patients bring the total number of people affected to 691 at the London Health Sciences Centre, 1,019 in Ontario and 1,205 overall. At the Windsor Regional, 290 cancer patients received watered-down treatments.

works in Looking Both Ways and works from PEM's permanent
Click a thumbnail image below to begin exploring.
The sensory properties of art are often what
a viewer notices first, but they are not alone in triggering our
responses to a work of art.
Our reactions to art are formed by virtually simultaneous sensory,
emotional, and psychological input. Every healthy human being's
biological and neurological mechanisms for processing stimuli
are the same. However, our emotional and intellectual responses
to stimuli are highly variable. All the factors that make individuals
unique are brought to bear, including culture, gender, family
history, personal experience and intellectual ability.
Even though the sensory properties of art, also called art "elements"
and "principles," are among many influences on a person's
response to art, it can be interesting to single them out for
consideration in order to more fully appreciate our reactions.
Together, art elements and principles also provide a useful framework
for building greater comprehension of more challenging works.
A visual artist may be thought of as using art elements ("words")
and art principles ("grammar") to convey ideas through
imagery much like a writer conveys ideas through language.

Hang out tonight and watch 'The X Factor' — unplugged
And then there were six.
Tonight, the final six contestants — Diamond White, Tate Stevens, Cece Frey, Emblem 3, Fifth Harmony and Mamaroneck's phenom Carly Rose Sonenclar — sing to stay in the competition.
A couple of thoughts before the show starts. With Vino Alan leaving last week, we're wondering where his voters will turn: Will they stay with a similarly soulful act, in Carly, or turn to Tate Stevens, another of the Over 25 group? My money'd be on Carly, as I think they have a similar vibe.
They'll sing one song, unplugged, and then a song chosen for them by voters in the Pepsi Challenge.
At stake tonight: A trip to the Top 4, the semifinals.
Cece Frey: Sang Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory," still don't understand how she's still in this competition.
Emblem 3: The Skater Boyz singing Bruno Marz's "Just the Way You Are." Gauging from the squeals in the audience, you can understand how these guys ranked third last week. Girls, girls, girls.
Judges are getting snarky, borderline obnoxious, with each other. Demi: "It sounds like a downgraded version of The Jonas Brothers five years ago."
Carly's up next, going acoustic.
Singing Justin Beiber's "As Long As You Love Me," which Carly calls "unexpected." "It's not acoustic, that's for sure. I think he'll be shocked to hear it like this."
"I'm under pressure…
"Keep it together …
"I will take my chances …"
Great control. Everything CeCe Frey doesn't have, Carly has.
L.A. Reid: "This is your best performance, for my taste."
Demi: "I like it when an acoustic version is better than the original. You sang it better than Justin did."
Simon: "I am seeing a star emerge in front of me, week after week. A lot of girls you age can be annoying when they're singers. But you're actually very cool."
Britney: "You make every song you're own."
Download tonight's songs at The X Factor website.
Fifth Harmony: Singing Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain." I'm with L.A. on this. Still don't think they harmonize like Emblem 3.
L.A.: "I think you have the wrong name. I think they should call you Fifth Unison."
Next up is Diamond White, the other teen on Britney Spears' team.
She's singing James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World."
L.A.: "You brought attitude and showbiz. And you sang your butt off."
Demi: "It was risky to do a song you've done before."
Simon: "I wish you'd chose a different song, but it was great."
Britney: "This is a hard song to pull off and you destroyed it."
Tate Stevens will sing "Livin' on a Prayer," a Bon Jovi hit. Kind of creepy, that scene in the bar, where Tate talks about how he might be losing his job back home. Sympathy vote, anyone?
That sound from Jersey? John Francis Bongiovi, Jr. yelling at his TV: "Make it stop! And if you're going to sing it, go up to the higher octave and don't chicken out."
Britney: You should stick to down the middle country.
Demi: You skipped out on the high note, which is the best part of it.
Simon: You doing that song on the acoustic week is like taking a goldfish for a walk. You can't do it.
L.A.: You've paved roads and I thank you for that. (Huh?)
Tomorrow, Ke$ha will be on the show.
Next to the Pepsi Challenge song and design challenge, where the fans voted for all the elements of the performances.
First up is CeCe Frey and Demi Lovato begs for votes as CeCe sings Katy Perry's "You're a Part of Me." Seriously? She sounds like a girl shrieking a song on the bus on the way to a soccer game. She's getting more vocal help than Milli Vanilli, for crying out loud!
L.A.: That was karaoke.
Britney: I found it entertaining. You looked like you were having fun.
Simon: You were defiant. If you do go, I'll miss you, because you're a trier.
Demi: (More begging for votes.)
Next is Emblem 3 singing "Forever Young." Yawn.
L.A.: Tonight, you nailed it.
Demi: I want to see you command the stage more, but this was much better than the first performance.
Simon: I think you've been really really good tonight. I've been here before. Emblem 3 have landed.
Next up: Carly singing Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy.
I'm sorry. Goosebumps. The kid can flat-out sing.
L.A.: As a judge, I get very nervous because I know you're going to be really really good. As a fan, I get excited because you never let me down.
Demi: I want to hear something uptempo. I feel like it's getting very predictable. I understand why you stick to the same kind of song. It's because it's amazing.
Simon: Here's some really good advice. Don't listen to a single word this one (Demi) has said. Trust me. You are doing just fine. You have had a phenomenal night.
Britney: You are the definition of 'The X Factor.'
Next, Fifth Harmony…singing a song by Demi Lovato, "Give Your Heart a Break."
Can't imagine the nerves singing the song one of the judges made famous. But off they go.
Waiting for Simon to say "It was better than the original…"
But Demi said it first. And then she said "I think Simon actually did a good job this time."
Simon: With you girls, it's all about girl power. The show wouldn't be the same without you.
L.A.: I actually heard harmony!
Next up, Diamond White singing "Diamonds," by Rihanna. She got her silver confetti.
L.A.: I like you. I like that song. I didn't like that rendition of it.
Demi: A friend of mine wrote it, so I really like this song. I feel like you did it justice.
Next, Tate Stevens, singing Garth Brooks' "If Tomorrow Never Comes."
Britney: Now that felt like a Tate Stevens performance. That was brilliant.
Demi: I feel like you have a bright future. I felt a bit sleepy during that performance, but I think that's just me. I'm just sleepy.
Simon: Welcome back to the competition. You remind me of Garth Brooks. You don't put an age cap on talent and you've represented this older group very well.
Stevens then went on to invite "Tate Nation" to vote for him.
Voting is now open:
Cece Frey: 855-843-9301
Emblem 3: 855-843-9302
Carly Rose Sonenclar: 855-843-9303
Fifth Harmony: 855-843-9304
Diamond White: 855-843-9305
Tate Stevens: 855-843-9306
Tomorrow, Ke$ha and the results, sending the semifinalists onward.

AMD Kaveri Laptops Sightedby Jarred Walton on 7/28/2014 9:07 PM EST

monstercameron - Monday, July 28, 2014 - link768p screens should just be banned. Reply
Flunk - Monday, July 28, 2014 - linkYou really have to wonder what the price difference would be, if they can afford to put 2560x1600 screens on $400 tablets. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, July 28, 2014 - linkThe price at the component level would be about $10 more for 1080p is my understanding. Sadly, all the OEMs like to order cheap parts in large quantities so they have thousands (or millions even) of cruddy 1366x768 panels but 1080p panels are "special" still. 1366x768 really needs to die on anything larger than 11.6 inches.

FTFY Reply
MonkeyPaw - Monday, July 28, 2014 - linkYeah, it's hard to get excited when budget tablets are outshining the budget laptop market. With CPU power being more that sufficient these days for many users, you'd think that the laptop market would be shifting to better panels and modest SSDs. As an OEM, what would make your product look the best on the floor at Best Buy? Having the nicest looking screen and the snappiest load times. The PC market just doesn't have a shot if they can't get the perceived quality up. Many models feel like they are made from the same plastic as those kiddie cell phones that are actually just full of candy. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkWhile it's true that budget tablets can compete in many ways with budget laptops, there's still a big gap in certain functionality. If you want to do any serious work (typing and such) on a tablet, you need a keyboard and that means more money. Performance is still quite a bit different as well, though the difference in OS makes up for a lot of that. As for SSDs, eMMC storage doesn't hold up long-term nearly as well as true SSDs. In fact, many tablets start to feel worse than HDDs after a while thanks to the storage bogging down, which is pretty bad considering they run a lightweight OS.
The sad reality is that Best Buy doesn't really care about what's fastest, best looking, or anything like that -- they just want to make a sale and earn money, and if they can either move more units or sell higher priced units, they're happy either way, but usually it's easier to sell lots of inexpensive devices vs. fewer expensive ones. Best Buy (and other large retail outlets) is a big part of the reason we have lousy budget laptops. They tell an OEM, "We want a laptop we can sell for $399" and the result is the OEM starts looking for areas where they can cut costs.
Fundamentally, there's more "stuff" in a laptop which is why they end up costing more than a tablet. You have a larger motherboard, keyboard and touchpad, hinges, fans, larger battery, etc. to worry about. I'd guess the profit margin on a $400 tablet is actually quite a bit higher than on a $400 laptop. If you want the true laptop alternative to a tablet right now, Chromebooks are probably a better comparison, and not surprisingly the Chromebooks with 1366x768 displays are hitting sub-$300 price points (and even $200). I wouldn't be surprised if the next generation of Chromebooks -- or perhaps two or three generations out -- Windows laptops really start to feel the crunch. Reply
Alexvrb - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkActually they have plenty of cheap Windows notebooks out there. Turns out that they have a lot in common with Chromebooks in this case - namely that they don't HAVE A8+ class Kaveri - not that Chromebooks do much gaming anyway.
My point is that the cheaper Windows notebooks or Chromebooks don't really compete with the Kaveri laptops in question. Need a notebook to handle everyday computing plus a little light gaming duty? That's these Kaveri-based devices. Want something with a prettier display or cheaper all-around? You can't swing a stick in an electronics store without hitting something that already fits those requirements. Reply
Ortanon - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkMost of these arguments are moot. Ultimately, you can take a laptop -- SSD and all -- and stuff it into a tablet rather sexily, especially if you don't try to do any lame-ass removable battery stuff. After that, I take your "keyboard" argument, and I hand you back a 'convertible' dock. To be honest, the difference in materials and design between a laptop and an equivalent convertible should be about $40, $100 to be generous (and to put another battery in the dock!).
SO, the real questions are: 1) Do you want to pay an extra $100 to get optional tablet mobility (A: YES -- especially if there's a no-dock option to save money), and 2) why the hell are there $400 laptops that clearly cost more to make than some $500 tablets? (A: novelty tax, 'tablet' as a buzzword).
Conclusion: Premium 11 to 12-inch laptops ought to be convertibles. Premium tablets ought to be convertibles.
CONCLUSION: CONVERTIBLES. Reply
Alexvrb - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkThat makes sense to some degree (minus upgradeability) for smaller laptops. But the laptops in the article are all 14"+. Price a big tablet like that! Reply
Ortanon - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIf you see someone with a tablet bigger than ~12", slap them on the mouth. Reply
Valis - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkLet me guess, all these "new" fancy laptops has 15" 1366x768 Res TN screens? xD My Dell from 2004 has 1440x900 14" I think, pathetic. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkI recently bought a HP Notebook with 8Gb of Ram, AMD A8 2.8Ghz quaddy and then dropped in a cheap 128Gb SSD and it's fine for web browsing and light gaming.
And that "only" has a 1600x900 panel and all for only $550 AUD. (Probably about $400-$450 USD.) Reply
Alexvrb - Monday, July 28, 2014 - linkI'm a little surprised that Acer actually has some semi-appealing Kaveri laptops at not-horrible prices. Although the more affordable options only have 4GB of RAM so you'd probably want to upgrade them a bit.
With that being said... bring out the 35W models already! The 35W models look much more interesting to me, especially since they support faster memory. The FX-7600P in particular is loaded with 512 shaders and DDR3 2133 support, although the A10-7400P might end up holding the value crown. Reply
Gigaplex - Monday, July 28, 2014 - linkIf you want the 35W models you're likely interested in performance, in which case you're better off with an Intel CPU combined with a discrete GPU. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkNot in notebook.
OEM can screw You over with their "special" driver (special only by virtue of single release!), that can not be replaced with GPU vendors drivers.
APUs (and intels with iGPU and not dGPU) do have to one advantage.
And If You are using Linux then its also good option. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkNope.
I have had Intel notebooks where Intel's Decelerator graphics driver could only be provided by Toshiba.
However, there are ways around those particular blocks, had the same issue with a Radeon 9700Pro Notebook back when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth, ended up throwing on modded drivers and overclocking that chip by over 50%. Reply
Alexvrb - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkIf you ignore price, sure. The 35W models have traditionally offered more performance for basically the same price, although they're not as svelte/cool and they drain the battery faster. But for a teenager that uses it for light duty gaming while tethered and very rarely uses it away from a wall in general? It's fine. Unless you can talk them into a small desktop... Reply

kyuu - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkUgh. It's loathsome that AMD's silicon always gets tied to crappy 768p panels and slow HDDs. And the OEM's charge a pretty obscene markup to get a decent screen and SSD.
I'm still waiting and hoping (likely in vain) for a decent tablet sporting Mullins to appear. But then, I've been waiting on a decent tablet with any of AMD's silicon to appear for forever. Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkIt's a chicken and egg -- no one wants to gear up to build AMD, so AMD gains no marketshare and makes no money, so they don't get resources, rinse, repeat Reply
tcube - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - link"no one wants" ? Well maybe you ought to get educated how Dell, HP & IBM "wanted" to build just with intel a few years ago... or how contra-revenue is now affecting the landscape. Intel is organized crime incorporated they don't know any better. Whenever they have bad products in one market or another they just bribe their way in or back... Thi is Intel for everybody! Reply
bleh0 - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkI guess consumer Kaveri didn't get many design wins nor did anything else in this particular product series. The laptop I'm using to type this post is running Intel hardware but I want to still purchase a Kaveri laptop.
What is the root issue here though? AMD, the OEMs or something else? Reply
tcube - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkOEMs obviously, when you have hardware that outperforms intel hardware having lower TDP like the mullins does just the OEMs are at fault because they take the "contra-revenue" bribe and call it a day. The Intel Crime Syndicate hits again just a like a few years ago. Intel is and always will be a criminal company. 3bn $ in fines and settlements is not nearly enough for what they did and are still doing. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkI'm waiting for the day when AMD APUs are packed into 15' (with a bit better resolution), with 8GB of performant RAM and SSD. In budget range.
(If You buy i5 notebook and SSD and 4GB RAM You can have config that is not sold, and much better then models priced similarly. Nobody wants to make balanced builds :( Its either overpriced CPU or overpriced SSD or overpriced XYZ, and never everything for fair price :( )

MrSpadge - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkBuying any of these you have to replace the HDD with e.g. a 250 GB MX100 and put the HDD into an external chassis. If you can do it yourself the value isn't as bad as when ordering some small OEM SSD for several 100's of $. Reply
Gunbuster - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - link"the PRO series of APUs is essentially the same as the consumer models, only they're guaranteed to be available for a longer period of time so that businesses in particular don't have to worry about validating new processors or platforms"
In this case make sure your locked in to some terrible chunky 720p laptops for a longer period of time. Employees will love it. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkThese prices are outrageous. Why do they even bother... no one is going to buy them when you can get an intel + nvidia solution for the same price, and get even better performance. AMD may as well just declare bankruptcy right now. Reply
Alexvrb - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkMost full-size 15"+ laptops with a competent Intel CPU and a halfway decent dedicated GPU start life at $600 and up. So if you look at consumer models, the AMD solutions are pretty competitive. Reply

We can see & buy up to 17wat TDP tablets from intel... We can't see any tablet with a 4.5 TDP mullins inside... And I blame Intels contra-revenue exclusively. While a top end mullins can take on a low end i3 while using much less power we don't get them in any built worth mentioning. We only get sh*t builds with amd chipery, the first mullins laptop from hp and these sorry excuses of laptops are the only builts AMD is allowed into... I honestly hope that somebody will step on intels trout and teaches them a lesson once and for all...
I say, BOYCOT INTEL until the FTC will start taking responsibility and reign them in. Until then however if we the customers will get again fooled by Intels tactics of market manipulation we deserve being robbed blindly!! Reply
pugster - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkYes it is sad that people don't want to spend much on a notebook anymore, including myself. For me, I brought an Asus k55n with an a8-4500 apu for $270 refurbed from newegg last sept for less than $300. I am pretty content of playing games with it.
Personally I think hardware manufacturers won't even use kaveri apus as their entry level notebooks, plenty of crappy AMD dual core 2100's out there to compete with Intel's celeron n2830 out there. Reply

When Colonel Gaddafi accused the eastern rebels of Al-Qaeda links there was a presumption that this was merely propaganda from the Libyan dictator.
Now, however, a Nato US commander has suggested that intelligence reports indicate a potential "flicker" of al-Qaeda within the resistance. James Stavridis, Nato's supreme allied commander for Europe, was speaking during Senate testimony today. Here is the relevant transcript:
"We have seen flickers in the intelligence* of potential Al Qaida, Hezbollah. We've seen different things. But at this point I don't have detail sufficient to say that — that there's a significant Al Qaida presence or any other terrorist presence in and among these folks. We'll continue to look at that very closely. It's part of doing due diligence as we move forward on any kind of relationship."
The Conservative chair, Baroness Warsi, was asked about this on Sky today; her reply wasn't exactly reassuring. To quote Politicshome.com:
Baroness Warsi responded to reports that there are "flickers" of Al-Qaeda in the Libyan opposition by saying it was "very concerning" but she is confident that the Interim National Council's "vision of Libya" is not a "post-Gaddafi Libya that includes Al-Qaeda". "That is the first I'm hearing

I would just do this myself, but my wiki experience is somewhat limited.
I'm currently re-reading the first book, and I noticed (as I noticed the first time I read it) that the potion riddle cannot be solved using only the information given in the book. This is because only the first, second, and fourth clues are useful to the reader. The third clue deals with the sizes of the different bottles (specifically the smallest and largest). However, the reader is not told the sizes of the seven individual bottles, which would of course be immediately apparent to the characters involved.
Personally, I felt somewhat cheated. As I began reading the riddle, I was eager to solve it myself before turning the page and seeing the characters solve it. I did the best I could with just clues one, two, and four, but it's unsolvable without all the clues. One could make an educated guess at the risk of one's life.
From what I gather on this article, there were varying versions of the riddle in each of the video games, and according to the article on the Stone itself, the DVD has an interactive version which is faithful to the book, in which I assume one can see the varying sizes.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, I think this article should briefly mention that the riddle is unsolvable using only the information given in the book, and perhaps that the full version can be seen and solved on the DVD. This should either go under the "Sixth Obstacle" heading or the "Behind the scenes" heading.
Thank you.
--Turambar007 08:38, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- This information would belong under "Behind the scenes." All other sections are written from an in-universe perspective, and, from the perspective of the characters, Snape's riddle was be solvable, as they could see the sizes of all the bottles. :) ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 20:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
For those that want to solve the puzzle the way Hermione had to do it: the puzzle is uniquely solvable only if you assume either potions 2 and 3 from the left to be the dwarf and giant bottles, or potions 3 and 6. Other bottle sizes either conflict with the hints and the solution as provided by the main article, or allow for multiple solutions (requiring the solver to guess). Unfortunately, with these assumptions the puzzle becomes rather easy, not exactly something worth of Severus Snape. 220.127.116.11 17:28, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to do this myself but I don't know how. The table in the "Behind the Scenes" section is missing the PS2 game stats. Can someone change that because I don't know how to do that. Secret agent clank 08:43, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

About the Creator
I was raised in northern California in a strict religious family. There was lots of love and lots of family. The summers were made of riding bikes and roller skating. I knew I had an artistic talent when I was in 5th grade but no attention was given to it growing up.I majored in Art while in college where I was probably the happiest, but I kept hearing that I should get a "real" job. I've spent most of my life working in traditional positions for traditional companies. So throughout the years I ignored my gifts and passions and worked at other things. Within the last 20 years I slowly started to give in to my creative urges. Designing inside and outside spaces, sculpting, drawing, creating 3 dimensional objects, painting and jewelry making. I found my bliss and will never give it up again. Art is my essence. To create. This is what I should be doing, need to be doing and must be doing. I can't imagine my life without it.

closing the lid hole for firing
Posted 30 September 2012 - 10:08 PM
However, when I mentioned to an experienced potter friend, that my kiln didn't fire evenly, even though I had recently replaced all the elements -- she suggested that the reason my top shelf never reached the proper level (cones fall on the bottom shelf properly - but not the top) could be because I left the lid vent hole open throughout the firing, and I was losing too much heat.
She suggested I close it off with a piece of broken kiln shelf AFTER the fumes had burnt off (for me, that's at about the 3 hour mark -- when I can't smell the nasty stuff anymore). I don't have a kiln vent - but I do have a powerful overhead vent above the kiln, that is exhausted outdoors.
I did as she suggested -- and it works beautifully now. All my shelves fire evenly, and my firing is over in much less time (10 hours, as opposed to 13, for cone 6).
But -- is this a good idea? All the bad stuff has burnt off by the time I close the peephole, but is this still hard on the elements?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 08:14 AM
What is hard on your electric elements is the moisture given off from the pots, even though you may think that they are completely dry. Look at any kiln lid on an older kiln, and you will see corrosion. You are fine doing what you are doing. You could even close off the vent after two hours.
The less openings, the more heat remaining in the kiln.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 08:35 AM
Posted 01 October 2012 - 09:05 AM
Thanks Tom! Very helpful.
to determine the time to cover the vent hole, put a mirror or other piece of glass on a slant where it can react to the fumes, water vapor, whatever coming from the vent. do not burn your hand while doing this. if there is ANY steam, wait to cover the vent. i use a small mirror on a foot long stick, the kind mechanics use.

With any kiln not hooked up to a downdraft kiln, the top peephole should be open during the entire firing, to allow gases to escape. But plug up that lid hole and never open it again.
Neil -- really? Even after the nasty stuff is gone? As I mentioned, I have a very powerful exhaust fan above the kiln that exhausts the stinky stuff for the first 3 or 4 hours of an 8-10 hour firing.

A HIGH-ranking British Army officer has thanked the people of Bolton for supporting troops in Afghanistan over Christmas.
More than 500 comfort boxes winged their way from the Bolton barracks to soldiers serving in the troubled country in time for the festive season.
General Sir Richard Barrons has written to veteran Jack Dixon, who co-ordinated the campaign to send everyday and luxury goods to troops, thanking him and the people of Bolton, Bury, Horwich and Westhoughton for their "wonderful generosity".
Mr Dixon, who served as a sergeant with the Royal Artillery Association, said: "Already I have received 14 letters thanking Bolton and district for the comfort boxes, including one from the General, the highest-ranking officer I have ever received a letter from.
"It is brilliant, it is always nice to receive a letter of thanks, and it is nice to know that high-ranking officers know what we are doing. It is nice to be appreciated."
In his letter, Sir Richard wrote: "I would like to convey my sincere thanks for the Christmas comfort boxes you have sent to my Regiment on operations in Afghanistan.
"The boxes have been particularly well received, both in terms of their usefulness for day-to-day living and because of the generous sentiment at Christmas. Toothpaste, razors and other such useful items are always welcome, but it is knowing that the operational endeavour is appreciated and recognised that is particularly significant.
"Please convey my gratitude and appreciation to the Bolton Royal Artillery Association, to the ex- Gunners who packed the boxes and to the people for their wonderful generosity."
Mr Dixon, who lives in Breightmet, started the campaign in 2006, which grew to be the country's largest co-ordinated effort.
Since it started, 13,000 boxes filled with goods worth more than £120,000 have been dispatched.
The campaign has now closed as preparations are made to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
Mr Dixon, the Chairman of the Central Lancashire Branch of the Royal Artillery Association, said the association would now provide support for soldiers as they returned home.

A language major or minor is also a valuable complement to other majors such as Political Science, Business, Computer Science, Music, Art, English, History, and Theatre.
Majors and minors are offered in French, German, and Spanish. MCLC also offers a German Studies major. Majors, minors, and general education students reach different levels of proficiency; however, in accordance with guidelines from the Common European Framework (CEF), and more specifically with the national guidelines (5Cs) from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), all world language students at Georgetown College will:
- Communicate in languages other than English;
- Gain knowledge and understanding of other cultures, including their art, film, literature, history, music, etc.;
- Connect with other disciplines;
- Make comparisons to other languages and develop insights into the nature of language and culture;
- Participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world.
Students with two years of French at the high school level desiring to continue in the same language must enroll in the 102-level course, or they may take the placement exam to attempt to place into 201. Those with more than two years of high school study in French are required to take a placement exam to determine placement in 102 or higher.
Students who have successfully completed 200 level courses will not be allowed to take 100 level courses; nor will students who have successfully completed 300 or 400 level courses be allowed to take 100 level courses or 201. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the department chair. (This policy applies to students who have taken language courses at Georgetown or another college or university.)

Most Americans of Baby Boomer age and younger were exposed to marijuana at some point in early adulthood, whether they partook or not on their own. For many, it was a rite of passage encountered at a rock concert or someone's dark basement. For others, it was a substance and a crowd of users best avoided.
In the great American novel "To Kill A Mockingbird," attorney Atticus Finch is explaining to his daughter Scout how to deal with other people amid conflicts at school: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view ... Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
When you think about it, it's somewhat odd to choose one particular day of the year to express thankfulness.
If there's a word that can sum up our national leadership these days, it is "lame" - a lame-duck session of Congress, a lame-duck president, all yielding results that are totally lame.
Hall County's business community took a well-earned opportunity last week to celebrate a full November cornucopia of blessings and pat itself on the back a bit.
Last Tuesday, Americans trudged dutifully to the polls to vote, proudly plastering "I'm A Voter" stickers on their chests for the rest of the day.
This election year, we've endured the usual avalanche of broadcast ads and watched candidates sling arrows at each other endlessly during televised debates.
Debating the role of government is common election year fodder, with each side weighing in on how much influence federal, state and local leaders should have over our lives and tax dollars.
Broken families. Neglectful parents racked by poverty, addiction or poor personal decisions. Abused children denied a normal upbringing. Government agencies short on resources and personnel scrambling desperately to keep a bad situation from getting worse.
If this year's political ads sound like you've tapped into Nick at Nite reruns of old campaigns, you're not imagining it. That's because there's little new in politics; it only seems that way sometimes when candidates repackage old ideas.
There's a famous quote by Hall of Fame baseball manager Casey Stengel that describes what's going on today in our federal government. As his expansion New York Mets were going through a historically bad season, Casey lamented: "Can't anybody here play this game?"
Wanted: Magic money tree. Must produce massive quantities of legal tender to help pay for state's most pressing needs and fulfill all campaign promises. Please deliver to state Capitol by January 2015.
This may seem a naive and silly question, but bear with us as we ask: When did voting itself become such a partisan issue?
It is both telling and troubling that the state agency assigned to police ethical behavior in government hasn't been able to mind its own store.
Each Sept. 11 for the past dozen years since the fateful day of 2001, we ask ourselves the same question: Are we safer now than we were then?

Coroner: Family claims body of man in Ala. drama
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) — A
relative has claimed the body of the man shot and killed by FBI agents
to end a hostage standoff in southeast Alabama.
Dale County
Coroner Woody Hilboldt says a family member took custody of the remains
of 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes late last week.
Hilboldt says Dykes' remains were taken to Florida, but he's unsure of further arrangements.
Dale County would have had to conduct a pauper's burial for Dykes if the relative hadn't claimed the body.
say Dykes shot and killed a school bus driver and held a young boy
hostage for six days before he was killed by a hostage rescue team on
Feb. 4.
Dykes' body was taken to a state forensics laboratory, where it remained after an autopsy until the relative took custody.

Gum Diseases
Black Gums in Children
Is there any "treatment" or way to prevent dark colored gums? And does the dark colour have any relation to bad breath?
There are several reasons for black spots to develop in the mouth, including use of certain medicines or even cigarettes. Most mouth spots are benign and not serious, but there is one rare exception called oral melanoma that is related to the skin cancer of the same name. Gingival color changes may happen due to gum diseases too.
Because of this unlikely possibility, I recommend you see your dentist or a dental specialist such as an oral and maxillofacial pathologist, surgeon or periodontist for a personal consultation.

The Accessibility Essentials Series
The original Accessibility Essentials Series provided step-by-step advice and guidance on using everyday technologies in a more inclusive way.
It was designed to be a valuable resource for teaching and learning staff enabling them to produce accessible and interactive materials using familiar software such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Titles in the 2003 and 2007 series included:
- Making Electronic Documents More Readable;
- Writing Accessible Electronic Documents;
- Creating Accessible Presentations; and
- Making the Most of PDFs.
These are still valuable resources but of course, new versions of Microsoft Office are released on a regular basis.
In this fast moving environment, we need to be flexible so we can respond to changes and provide advice more quickly. We also want to make sure that this advice is not presented in isolation but is delivered through our website so that visitors can easily access other useful and relevant information.
New Resources
The Resources area of our website has been redeveloped for this purpose. By clicking on the Resources tab you will find a series of web pages that provide the same type of advice found in Accessibility Essentials.
Landing pages give a broad introduction while the pages below that give advice on particular issues.
Then, if there is anything you need more specific guidance on, you can follow the links in the text to more detailed information. Where needed, we provide guidance for different versions (ie. 2003, 2007 and 2010).

We are living in the era of playlists, which makes me feel a bit old. I left my turntables and vinyl behind, when I moved to Los Angeles to chase Debi, but I shipped all of my CDs.
For many years Debi and I had one of the most-wonderful music libraries I have ever seen in my life: Her passion for old jazz, American classics and early hip-hop married well with my collection of Brazilian and Cuban albums. In our first house together, we had an entire library that showcased our music collection, and we lived the joy of popping a CD into the system until the very last breath of that music medium.

MOPA Presents Cinema Select: Visitors Choose What Is Screened
The program was launched in March and visitors had to choose between King Kong, Tootsie and Grey Gardens, all starring Jessica Lange to coincide with MOPA's current exhibition, Jessica Lange: unseen. It is Grey Gardens, a 2009 HBO movie, which earned the most votes and that was screened on March 14th. "Grey Gardens was the excuse that took us to MOPA's movie theatre tonight and what a great place to watch movies," posted one spectator on MOPA's Facebook account after watching the movie.
The next Cinema Select will take place at the museum on April 25th at 7pm. Since Earth Day is April 22nd, MOPA thought it would be a fun idea to look at how some films forecasted the future on this planet if humans don't take care of it. Visitors currently have to select one of three post-apocalyptic movies: Zombieland, 12 Monkeys or Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. All of these films were nominated for and received a number of awards.
In May, MOPA celebrates its 30th anniversary as a museum in Balboa Park. The Cinema Select theme for that month will be 1983 – the year MOPA officially became a museum. The choice of movies has yet to be selected, but a number of great movies came out that year so it is sure to be an interesting selection.
The cost for each movie is $4 for MOPA members, $6 students and seniors, $8 general admission. Visitors can buy their tickets online before each movie's screening or at the door.
For additional information about next month's movie, or to cast a vote, please visit: http://www.mopa.org/master-event/cinema-select
Press Opportunities: To request additional information or to schedule an interview, please contact Danny Cappiello at 619.238.7559 X203 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com.
MOPA Information: MOPA is a center for visual learning, passionately dedicated to sharing and exploring the universal language of photography. Learn more at MOPA.org.

offering to gods(Redirected from Sacrificed)
Sacrifice is the offering of food, objects or the lives of animals or people to the gods as an act of propitiation or worship.
- [...] it is right to be kind and even sacrifice ourselves to people who need kindness and lie in our way – otherwise, besides failing to help them, we run into the aridity of self-development. To seek for recipients of one's goodness, to play the Potted Jesus leads to the contray the Christian danger.
- E. M. Forster, Commonplace Book, p. 243 (1963).
- In general, the man who is readily disposed to sacrifice himself is one who does not know how else to give meaning to his life.
The profession of enthusiasm is the most sickening of all insincerities.
- Cesare Pavese, This Business of Living, 1940-02-09
- To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
- Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?

Updated: The BBC is now reporting that the dog looking "mournful" in the video was working for British forces.
Original post: The Taliban have released a video showing what looks like a U.S. military dog, which they say was captured during a raid in eastern Afghanistan in December.
"This dog was named after a colonel," one of the Taliban fighters says on the video, according to the Telegraph. "It had a flash light on it and its neck wore a GPS."
The BBC correspondent in Kabul says the use of military canines has been controversial. "Dogs are considered unclean by Afghans," David Lyon reports.
Now that the Taliban's "war trophy" has been paraded in front of cameras, the dog's future "does not look good," the BBC says.
A NATO spokesman tells the Marine Corps Times: "We are aware of the reports, but have no confirmed operational reporting."

From the American Heritage Dictionary:
1. A word or phrase having a double meaning, especially when the second meaning is risqué.
2. The use of such a word or phrase; ambiguity.
One of my all-time favorite shows was a very short-lived show called Turn On (1969). Unfortunately, all I can remember about the show was that it was full of double-entendres, especially those delivered by a sultry, curvaceous actress called "The Body Politic" who reclined on a sofa. Alas, the world was not ready for such a show. It lasted for one 30-minute episode, and many stations cut it off before it was finished. It would probably be rated PG these days, but it was too much for the mores of 1969.
O Tempora! O Mores!

I purchased my first application from the Mac OS App Store this week; it cost $99. Before I hit the purchase button, though, I wondered: Was I going to have to spend that $99 three times? Unlike my phone, of which I have only one, I have a Mac at work, one at home, and a laptop. Multiplying every purchase by three was going to make this a much more expensive proposition.
Being in the business of writing software for a living, I try to be conscientious regarding software license terms. To do that, I actually read the license agreements. Or at least, the part of them that deals with how many computers the software can be installed on.
In my experience with such terms, there has been a gradual evolution away from licenses tied to specific computers to accommodating the desktop/laptop combination that's common these days. But, that still left the typical number of machines per license at two, and one of them had to be a laptop.
The Mac App Store licensing terms are much more generous: Each purchase can be used on any Mac that you own or control. From the Mac App Store FAQ:
Can I use apps from the Mac App Store on more than on computer?
Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use.
Re-assured that I'd only have to spend my $99 once, I proceeded with the purchase.
Does this represent a shift towards lower software costs for consumers? That $99 license from the Mac App Store cost the same as buying the software directly from its publisher, but the publisher's license was more restrictive: I would have had to purchase two copies for twice the price.
Yes and no. The kicker is that the Mac App Store works only for my Mac. Want the same app for your iPad? That's another $40. And for your iPhone? That's another $20. So yes, this change in licensing terms brings down the cost of software for desktop and laptop computers. But at the same time, I'm spending more on software than ever before because I'm also buying it for different types of device. Device proliferation is driving costs right back up.

This weekend marks the opening of designer Marc Jacobs's first feature film. A "social media thriller" directed by Henry Alex Rubin and entitled "Disconnect", it stars Jacobs (as well as Jason Bateman, Alexander Skarsgard and Andrea Riseborough) in a supporting role as an sort of e-pimp who provides runaways with shelter and employment doing internet porn. Judging from the trailer he's pretty good – and really looks the part. In other words, he seems like a legitimate actor, which takes the whole fashion/film thing to a new level. It is a fluke or the future? That si the question. Read more

JOHN Fisher may have shared a friendly and at times fiery relationship with Dave Turner but the Highworth manager says it remained impossible for him not to have respected a man who held similar footballing beliefs to his own.
Former Shrivenham, Wootton Bassett and Pewsey Vale boss Turner passed away in the early hours of Tuesday morning following a heart attack. His untimely and tragic death, at the age of 52, has left the local non-league community in a state of shock.
In paying tribute to his rival, Fisher stressed how – for all the words he and Turner exchanged on the touchline and in the press – he always had time for the late Shrivvy manager's 24/7 dedication to his job.
He said: "We had our friendly rivalries but I always had respect for what he was trying to do and what he's done. He's had some great years at Wootton Bassett, he's gone to Shrivvy and he was always upbeat and confident he could turn things round which you've got to admire in any manager.
"I had a lot of respect for him. It is a shock and brings life back into perspective. Sometimes we all get carried away with everything.
"I know it's only amateur football but sometimes people don't understand that Dave was on the same page as me - you either do it properly and that means it's a 24/7 job or you do it as an off-the-cuff job - Dave was always dedicated to his job.
"With all the stress that went with it I hope nothing was caused because of that, because it is a stressful job. People laugh but it's 24-7. You're always trying to get a team out for the weekend and players are dropping out, and Dave was always upbeat about everything he did."
Turner enjoyed great success at Bassett, where he twice won promotion to the Hellenic League Premier Division before moving on to Barrington Park, and his impact had been felt at Shrivvy, who Fisher feels have been left with a squad capable of making significant improvements after a couple of miserable campaigns.
"It's a terrible shock," said the Highworth boss. "I had a lot of time for what he was attempted to do and he was doing a good job at Shrivenham, even though they were where they were in the league.
"I've watched them a few times in the last few weeks and they were going to turn the corner. His legacy at Shrivenham is he's left them with a side that's going places."
Fisher offered his heartfelt support to Turner's wife, Trisha, and sons Alex, 24, and James, 22.
"I just wish his wife and his two boys all the best," continued Fisher.
"That's the worst part. It's so quick, so sudden and it's so hard for them to get their heads around it.
"It's like it's a dream, it's happened to me. All I can say is I wish his family all the best and I always remember one thing - that he was dedicated to his family and dedicated to his football. You can't ask any more of the man.
"He will be a big miss because he was a larger than life character. He was never down, he was always upbeat. We had a rivalry but it was a respectable rivalry - it wasn't because I didn't like him and he didn't like me.
"It was just the banter with what goes on in football. I know how hard he worked at Shrivenham to get his boys there. It is a very sad loss, for family, friends, local football and the Hellenic League."
Fisher's Highworth side are away at Highmoor in the Hellenic League Premier Division tomorrow.

His No. 1 hits on Billboard's Christian Songs chart include "Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)," from Tomlin's 2013 album "Burning Lights," as well as "I Lift My Hands" in 2011 and "Our God" in 2010.
"He is a premier Christian artist," said Renee Musson, associate director of the O'Connell Center.
Tickets for the performance, which are $29 and $39 for the public, and $23 for college students, go on sale noon July 26 at the O'Connell Center box office and through Ticketmaster.
