I was beginning to wonder if I was going to make it today - LOL! But here I am :D I love to utilize my stamps in unusual ways - not just for cardmaking. It has been some time since I have done a special meal. Now that I'm a working girl there just doesn't seem to be that extra time that these types of occasions need, but I love to cook a nice meal and present it in a "lovely" way when I get the opportunity. Yep, a little bit of Martha wore off on me - LOL!
This is another one of the beautiful Autumn images that is going to be part of the Lockhart Stamp Company release this Friday - it is called Harvest Basket! With this menu card I should have started my planning stages much earlier. It was an afterthought to put it in the frame and thus the tight corners, but I thought it might help you visualize using it in a different way if I posted a picture like this.
There is one element in this project that I would like to point out to you. The first being the "recessed" embossing on the scalloped oval. I am so in love with these shapes and the embossing. If you notice the angel I made a few days ago you will see the inset of this same shape. What I have been doing is making "two for one" project preperations. I don't like to throw away even the tiniest of papers and so I have been planning to use both pieces of my cutouts. I highly recommend it :D
I would also like to thank the Spellbinders Design Team for heading over here to my blog - helping to answer the questions that have been raised. They have worked with the Wizard for several years and so they are knowledgeable and able to answer the questions that are presented. So if you have asked a question I would like to suggest that you return to that post and read through some of their answers and suggestions.
One question that I would like to answer is in regards to the white spacer plates. I will try and update the information on my site before Friday, but I wanted to let you know that these plates are made out of a very hard material (some type of plastic). They are approximately 1/8" thick x 4 1/4" x 6". Two come in a package and I continually flip mine so that I don't get a really warped one. Having these available has made it so much simplier for me then when I was constantly looking for just the right number and thickness of chipboard pieces.
Oops - I just noticed another question that many of you might find the answer helpful. In designing these punches we decided to make two separate scalloped shapes. Some people like a more "delicate" look to their work, others a more "classic". If you make a comparison to what it is that you already own you can determine which will better suit your style. Count the "bumps" on your current scallops and then make your decision accordingly. The Petite Scallop Circle has a total of 37 "bumps" on it whereas the Classic Scallop Circle only has 22 "bumps". The circle is currently the only new Nestability shape that has both the Classic and Petite options. Please note that we have designed the "Basic Shaped" circles (no bumps on these) so that they coordinate with both the Spellbinders Classic Circles and Petite Circles. Therefore if you decide you just have to have both scalloped circle sets, you will only need to purchase one set of the Standard Circles, Large and Small. Please let me know if this is clear as mud or whether you need more information. Again my worker bees and I are taking pictures, editting, blah, blah, blah and hope to be prepared for Friday the 13th Ü
Spellbinders will be using their patented technology to continue to bring you more of the shapes that you desire. We are working hard at it, but time only allows for so much - LOL!
Thank you for stopping in to visit today! The clock is ticking - I must run and get more pictures uploaded :D

Why you should care
Because health concerns around toxic coal ash are building up as surely as the landfills it's flooding.
When 39,000 tons of coal ash from a Duke Energy site spilled into the Dan River in North Carolina in 2014, it sparked a public awakening to the health risks of the industrial waste, which is what remains from burning fossil fuel in power plants across the United States. The toxic heavy metals that coal ash contains have been linked to everything from ulcers to lung and kidney cancer. Previously, that noxious brew was stored in unlined wastewater ponds on power utility properties often near lakes and streams. But since the North Carolina incident, landfills in Georgia — where it is cheaper to dump trash — have emerged as a new destination for some of that coal ash.
It's part of a wider pattern. The Bible Belt disproportionately bears the burden of America's toxic, nuclear and human waste, as OZY discovered in an investigation published Monday after studying thousands of pages of trash records from all 50 states. In this documentary, we explore the ramifications for Banks County, an otherwise idyllic farm-and-lake community that has seen real estate values plummet and families torn apart amid health concerns over the local landfill — which sees more than 120 trucks barreling through the countryside daily, delivering roughly 2 million tons of coal ash in 2017 alone. That total figure made up four-fifths of the coal ash sent that year to Georgia.
Waste Management Inc., which owns the Banks County landfill, says it launched a public awareness campaign before proceeding, and only plans to import another 500,000 tons to the area. But environmentalists say the impact of the waste's toxins could last for decades. And for residents, the pain isn't just physical or environmental. It is spiritual too.

Police state national ID card tucked in major bill
Inserted in a sweeping House bill introduced earlier this month called Securing America's Future Act of 2018 is the establishment of a new biometric National ID card for all Americans that has privacy activists sounding alarms.
Introduced by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., H.R. 4760 encompasses issues such as education, Homeland Security and the military. Buried in the 400-page legislation is the new mandatory national identification system in which citizens would be required to carry a government-approved ID containing biometric features.?
The bill states that anyone seeking employment in the country must have the card.
The purpose of the measure, part of the legislative solution to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, is to curb illegal immigration. It specifically addresses the shortcomings of the E-Verify system, which has failed to catch an estimated 54 percent of illegal immigrant workers.
Ron Paul, the former Republican lawmaker and presidential candidate known for his libertarian views, has launched a campaign against the national ID through his non-profit Campaign for Liberty, including an online petition.
Paul, writing to his supporters, declared the proposed ID card is exactly the type of battle that often decides whether a country remains free or continues sliding toward tyranny.?
WND asked Rep. Goodlatte and his staff at the House Judiciary Committee, which he chairs, to respond to questions regarding the privacy concerns but did not receive answers.
Proponents of the measure argue workers already are required to provide a Social Security number, which is part of a national database, and emphasize the benefits of curbing illegal immigration for American workers and taxpayers and the nation?s security.
Paul fears the

Modi government trying to end quotas: Mayawati
Sitarganj (Uttarakhand): Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Sunday accused the central government of trying to do away with reservation for Dalits.
"The BJP-led government is trying to end the quotas for Dalits, it is trying to end reservation," Mayawati told an election rally here.
Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress, Mayawati said: "The Dalits and tribals are treated as vote bank by these two parties."
The BSP leader raked up the issues of Hyderabad University's Dalit student Rohit Vemula who had committed suicide as well as atrocities on Dalits in Una in Gujarat.
"The BJP and the Congress are the same within. That's why Dalits and tribals of Uttarakhand are not getting job promotions."
The former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh appealed to the Dalits and backwards to vote for the BSP in the 70-member Uttarakhand assembly election of February 15.
"Uttarakhand people need to remove the BJP and the Congress and bring the BSP to power to herald a change," Mayawati said.
She blamed the "wrong policies" of the central government for price rise and rising poverty.
"The Modi government is a government of corporates. And its wrong policies have failed to control inflation and poverty."

Thinking man's TV crumpet Alice Roberts is facing a viewers' backlash over her new archaeology show.
In the show, Digging for Britain, Dr Roberts visits archaeological sites around Britain and discusses the historical facts they reveal.
But viewers are disappointed she's been presenting the show with her clothes on!
The presenter - known for Coast and The Incredible Human Journey - is an anatomist and anthropologist. She was last seen in Wild Swimming in which she swam in lakes and rivers around Britain.
At her last location, a moorland lake, she went for a skinny dip.
Bernard Frot, membership secretary of a Dr Roberts's fan club, said: "We thought that was the signal for greater things to follow. The scene was coyly shot and we were denied the obvious delight of seeing anything.
"It's clear that Alice has been leading up to getting her kit off in front of the camera. To be honest, we thought it might happen in Human Journey - after all our ancient ancestors didn't have clothes and we were expecting her to go in for a bit of authenticity.
"She often teases on Coast, wearing those flimsy vest-tops on the beach. Wild Swimming had all our members interested - several asked me for copies and I said would knock one out for them. When she donned a swimsuit we thought it wouldn't be long before the kit came off.
"Digging for Britain is a step backwards, because archaeology isn't something you think of as being done nude.
"We reckon she's probably waiting for a role in a TV drama, where stripping would be an essential part of the plot. So we're contacting TV writers and producers asking them to help her realise this ambition.
"If nothing happens soon some of us are talking about transferring our affections to TV historian Bettany Hughes - she looks like she might be well up for getting them out."

The Karen National Union marked the 65th anniversary of Karen revolution day at Depunu, Mutraw District, KNU Brigade (5) territory on Friday January 31, with the attendance of significant leaders of KNU and KNLA , including Zippora Sein, KNU's vice-chairperson, Gen. Baw Kyaw Heh, the Vice Chief of Staff of KNLA. The 3 day –event, including music and various cultural shows, crowded by over 10,000 of Karen people from Burma and Thailand. The military parade started at 7.30, followed by the speech from the representative of KNU Brigade (5), stating that the ceremony was held to encourage all soldiers and people who still fighting against intruders. January 31 is the historical day of the resistance of Karen people. Despite many obstacles and people have been lived in vagrant, the fighting is for nation liberation in the future.
"Everyone are fighting with sincere. But now we don't have genuine freedom yet, therefore, we have to fight for our nation's liberty. We need cooperation and support our people because this is not someone's mission. To end the war, it's not our business to speak but you need to ask the person who attacks us.", said the representative.
Zipporah Sein, KNU vice-chairperson, gave a speech at the event stating that all groups of Karen people still need to stand up to protect their freedom. With 65 years of struggling resistance, the people do not want to be oppressed. Even though the Burmese Government has been trying to talk about peace and negotiation, in reality it has made little progress. They have tried to tell the world that the country already gained peacefulness but in it does not. Holding the event today proves that their claim is not true. Our aim is to bring happiness to the people which would take long time to reach. Therefore, we need to be patient and the people should not misunderstand. We all need to create understanding.
After the speech, Gen. Baw Kyaw Heh inspected the parade before ending the ceremony. Then, the Karen Women group offered flowers to soldiers. While Karen people took photo with the soldiers with delight after the ceremony. Gen. Baw Kyaw Heh said in the interview that the event this year is bigger than the pass. The event, annually held in the Brigade (5), included 3 occasions which is Martyrs'Day , National Day and New Year Celebration in the same event. This year we invite Karen people from Thailand, Burma and abroad including Australia, US and Singapore to attend the event. That's why this year it is a big event. However, the most important thing is solidity of Karen people.
Gen. Baw Kyaw Heh also mentioned about the peace talk with Burmese government that no progress yet because KNU specified the areas for Burmese soldiers to be stationed and where to withdraw their personnel. Especially along the Salween River Bank, Burmese soldiers are not necessary as the KNU can look after the area. However, the they were not agree but sent more troops to station in 10 spots. This is unreliable and Karen army have to fight with our best against their invasion.
"Burmese Government tells the outside world that the country is peaceful and asks rebel groups to sign ceasefire agreement. But they never prepare details as agreed. Moreover, they put more troops to many areas which is dangerous for ethnic groups", said the general. He stated that their aim is to restore the rights and freedom of the Karen people in their own land, to have democracy which is worldwide recognized. No matter it is federal state or another.

Furthermore, if Bartmann had joined the debt collection business since just another debt collector he or she probably wouldn't even justify a footnote. However, their aim was to create a brand-new type of collection agency credit score. And he actually created it from only his passion and a concept because at the time he had absolutely nothing.
Outsourcing your debt. Collecting through late payers is not only nerve-racking but bad for business. You ought not to have to finance another people business. If you can't collect your debt yourself, then consider prospecting a how to find a good collection agency to find a good collection agency that can focus on your behalf. Lack of cash flow will bring your business to your legs quicker than anything else.
This is common as banks routinely have thousands in uncollected costs on their books. Several years afterward, your old bank at this point has $100, 000 within uncollected fees, and the possibility that disgruntled customers can repay the full value of this particular debt is unlikely. Choose this knowledge, the bank offers $100, 000 of exceptional collections to Buy-Your-debt collection agency list in a discount for $30, 1000. The collection agency right now has the legal right to collect the entire value title loans in montgomery al of the bank's past due collections, which is $100, 1000.
If you simply cannot pay out your bills, you might want to think about bankruptcy. New bankruptcy laws and regulations require that you actually have an extremely low income, and go to debt counseling classes before you can file for bankruptcy.
The best thing about the just no credit check payday loans is that dozens of with a bad credit score who else cannot borrow from elsewhere are generally not inhibited to borrow from loan providers in this market. So if you happen to be pushed into a corner and want to borrow from a friend this is when you should look for money.
You will feel better within yourself and not wonder what is going to are available in tomorrow's post or whether or not you should leave the phone from the hook again tomorrow.
Property foreclosure. If you are in the middle of your transaction, missing your monthly payment can result in foreclosure. This process is once the creditor takes over your property, use its sale and use the earnings to pay your balance. A record of foreclosures is not very encouraging details that you would like to see in your credit history. This is why it's very important to focus on your home loan payments.

Baker Mayfield was awarded the Heisman Trophy in New York City on Saturday.
The Oklahoma quarterback added college football's most prestigious award to his 2017 collection. Mayfield received the Maxwell Award, Davey O'Brien Award and Walter Camp National Player of Year trophy earlier in the week.
Mayfield received 732 first-place votes, followed by Stanford running back Bryce Love (75) and Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson (47), who was last year's winner.
Former Ohio State running back Archie Griffin, who won the award in 1974 and 1975, remains the only two-time Heisman winner in the award's 83-year history.
Mayfield is the sixth Oklahoma player to win the Heisman and the first since Sam Bradford won the award in 2008. Oklahoma's other Heisman recipients are Billy Vessels (1952), Steve Owens (1969), Billy Sims (1978), and Jason White (2003).
To earn the 2017 award, Mayfield threw for 4,340 yards with 41 touchdowns and just five interceptions while leading Oklahoma to a 12-1 record and a Big 12 championship. He has his team in the College Football Playoff and will try to add to Oklahoma's seven national championships. The Sooners, who were in the play-off in 2015, last won it all in 2000.
If Mayfield, who has also rushed for 310 yards and five touchdowns, can lead Oklahoma to a national championship, he would be the 15th player to win both the Heisman and a national championship in the same season. The last player to accomplish both was former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston in 2013.

I am underestimated.
People look at me and see an average white American teenager.
13 years old
With medium length brown hair
With a quick smile and and a quicker tongue.
But people never stick around enough to find out more.
Even my closest friends have yet to scratch the surface of my dreams.
I've heard all my life that I'd better marry a wealthy husband who loves me and I'll have a good life.
But maybe I don't want wealth.
Maybe I'm not looking for a Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet
I'm not some damsel in distress.
I can take care of myself thank you very much.
I want to go to college and meet new people
And have new experiances
And learn new things
I want to be a news anchor for CNN
And give people the real news
All the facts so they are educated
And later a senator
So I can help change unfair laws,
So that people will benefit
And feel heard.
Maybe president in the end
Even though it is the hardest job in the USA
I would do my best
I would work for peace and happiness.
I'd shape America into something for us to love
And cherish.
Don't tell me I can't.
Life is only so long
But change lasts forever.
Why do I even need a husband?
Maybe I'll just marry whoever loves me and not care about how they identify.
I am as strong and powerful as any person ever
And maybe I'm a little bit different
But isn't everyone?

claire inc designer vintage
Claire Inc stock designer wares from the '70s till the '90s, showing that vintage threads can be super nice without the fear of mothballs and yellowed hemming.
Vintage clothes don't always have to equate to mothballs, yellowed hemming and styles that probably weren't even popular back in ye old days.
Claire Inc is an online vintage store that stocks primarily designer wares from the '70s till the '90s, pretty much guaranteeing the stitching won't be coming loose, the sleeves won't be riddled with cigarette burns and, no matter what, it's style that surpasses time and will look as spiffy now as it did in 1978.
Just because we're talking old-school Chanel doesn't mean we're talking entire pay cheques either: some of their stock is pretty well priced (around the $100-200 mark) whereas other items might require a little more penny pinching. Check them out here.

Interview Faisal
Enlightenment, before during and after.
Every seeker wants Enlightenment. Most people perceive that to be a state of ongoing bliss and oneness and believe that after that, life is easy and simple forever after, because of the eternal expansion into the beyond.
While it is true that there is something called "the enlightenment experience" which has all of these characteristics, the true enlightened life is something quite different. The bliss is not the emotional experience we can know through the ego. It is beyond that.
This truth is revealed overtime, bit-by-bit as we grow into who we are and loose our ego identity.
Some parts of the learning are guaranteed;
We have to first recognize who we are beyond our mind and body to the point that a shift of perspective, of context occurs, but then we have to crash and come down from the enlightenment high. We need the courage to admit that every experience wears off, even after a few years, that clarity can be lost again and that identification with the mind can come back. That nothing is permanent and that to reach higher peaks we need to pass through different valleys.
Failing is an essential part of the path. When we have spiritual success our ego grows side by side, when we fail, it is diminished and is ground down.
I think we are frightened
Every moment of our lives
We know
Absolutely Clear
Don't surrender your loneliness
So quickly.
Let it cut more deep.
Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can.
Something missing in my heart tonight
Has made my eyes so soft,
My voice
So tender,
My need of God
How to support yourself in this act of self-love?
We come to a master or a spiritual life because we want to be free of the chains that bind us to our past. That hinder us to be spontaneous, alive and passionately present in our own life. Mostly we want to feel better and finally be happy.
Then we hear the teacher say it all the time: "Let meditation be on top of your laundry list". "Make meditation your first priority".
Why does it seem so important to have a daily regular practice of meditation? And why does it appear so difficult for many?
Every human being has a consciousness but unless it is nourished, unless it is awakened, nourished and supported it will not grow. It will remain only a seed, a possibility.
An average person may have only a few seconds a day of consciousness, of being aware of himself.
A seeker seeks to be conscious every moment of the day.
So our consciousness is not something that grows automatically as we grow older. It is not part of our biology. Existence leaves that up to us.
We either expand it or not. We either spend time to nourish it or not.
Basic Trust
Trust is an absolute necessity for our spiritual development. Without it, it is difficult to even enter the path and transformation will be nearly impossible.
Transformation means that something changes into something else. Copper turns to gold. After transformation the copper is not the same anymore and it cannot know the gold until it becomes it. In the same way the butterfly cannot know itself while being a caterpillar.
In other words, we don't know yet exactly what the new more evolved version of ourselves will be. We have no idea what will happen when we let go of our old familiar ego structure.
I use the word trust here in the sense of basic trust. This is something else than psychological trust, which is based on trustworthiness.
Basic trust means that we have the feeling that our life naturally unfolds and evolves in the right direction.
That whatever happens, it will always be good, even though we don't know yet what it will be.
Basic trust seems to be a pre condition for us to let go into the unknown and not knowing.
Not knowing is one of the most difficult things for our ego while for the awakened part in us it is the most natural state.
I am one with all things-
in beauty, in ugliness,
for whatsoever is-
there I am.
Not only in virtue
but in sin too I am a partner,
Not only in heaven
but hell too is mine.
Buddha, Jesus, Loa Tzu -
it is easy to be their heir,
but Genghis, Taimur and Hitler?
They are also within me!
No, not half- I am the whole of mankind!
Whatsoever is man's is mine -
flowers and thorns,
darkness as well as light,
and if nectar is mine, whose is poison?
nectar and poison - both are mine.
Whoever experiences this
I call religious,
for only the anguish of such experience
can revolutionize life on earth.
Passionately present in my own life.
Who am I without my inner judge?
Who am I?
This is the age old question that accompanies every seeker on the path. It is the koan that makes us take risks, jump out of our habitual ways of being and living, challenges the boundaries of our personality and makes us reach for the impossible.
We follow different teachings to show us the way back to ourselves.
We may travel to the other side of the globe to be with our master or teacher; no mountain is too high, no valley too low…
Once the question has arisen, the thirst is here and wants to be quenched.
Through all kinds of groups and practices of meditation, inquiry and prayer we reach great openings and experience states of freedom, often only to fall back into old patterns.
How come this happens again and again?

Be compassionate
Work for peace,

No mater what is going on around you
Never give up".

Chili Peppers, Air Drying Peppers Naturally
My Fresh Picked Peppers
How Would You Rate This Chili Pepper Process?
How To Air Dry Chili Peppers
Fresh picked from my backyard garden, an abundance of chili peppers gather on my kitchen counter tops. There is no way we can eat them all before they go bad. So, we set out to learn a simple natural way to dry them so they can be used throughout the year. All it takes is strong thread (natural fibers only), a durable sewing needle, a bunch of colorful chili peppers, and a place to hang them!
How To Stop The Burn Of Hot Peppers
Due to the fact that capsaicin is soluble in oils and fats, NOT water; stopping the burn of a hot pepper mishap should include consuming things that are fatty. Try ice cream, milk, and nut butters to help dowse a singeing mouth! Using water to cool things down will only spread the inferno like a windy wild fire!
Safe Handling Of Hot Peppers
Hot Chili Pepper Precautions
Before you start production to air dry your chillies, a few safety measures should be in place.
- wear gloves!
- wash them in cool water and pat dry
- wash your hands with soap after handling
- never touch any open membrane on your body before washing hands (eyes, mouth, nose, genitalia)
- avoid getting chili residue in abrasions or cuts
What Makes Chilies So Hot
Capsaicin Makes Chilies Hot
The "spicy" or "hot" sensation caused by a chili pepper is derived from a family of compounds called capsaicinoids. Of the many capsaicinoids, only two make up 80 to 90% of the chili pepper; capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin. How hot a chili is will depend on just how concentrated these compounds are in each chili variety. It is interesting that such fiery compounds come from the larger group of chemicals called vanilloids.
Dihydrocapsaicin Molecular Structure
What You Think Really Does Matter!
Did you know drying peppers could be so simple?
What Is A Scoville Chart
The heat of a pepper is measured in Scoville heat units (Shu). Essentially, it determines how many parts-per-million of capsaicin (the hot stuff in peppers) can be measured within any given chili. The more parts-per-million of capsaicin a chili has, the hotter—more spicy—a chili will be. An example would be;
- Sweet Bell Peppers are rated at "0"—containing 0 Scoville units
- Cayenne Peppers are rated at "7"—containing 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units
- Red Savina Habanero is rated at "10"—containing 350,000 to 855,000 Scoville units.
- Naga Jolokia Peppers are said to measure well over a million (1,000,000,000) Scoville units...ouch!
No matter what I am cooking, I try to stay somewhere between "0"(sweet bell peppers) and "7" (cayenne peppers). I like a really spicy dish, but I prefer flavor over the emergency room.
Air Dried Chili Peppers
Instructions For Air Drying Peppers
- Pick peppers with stem on, and wash thoroughly. Pat dry.
- Thread heavy gauge thread (natural fiber preferably) through a durable needle, making a large knot at one end.
- Pierce one pepper at a time near center of each stem, (never through the meat of the chili) making a new knot after each pepper. Sew about 5 or 6 peppers into each wreath. Be sure to leave enough room between each pepper for plenty of air flow.
- Tie the ends together to make a wreath. Hang each wreath in clear flowing open air and sunshine. Leave them for a few weeks until they lighten in color, and become wrinkled and dried.
- Once the chilies are dry, you can remove them from the wreath and place them in airtight containers. Storing them in a cool dry location allows the shelf life to be as much as one year.
Chili Peppers For Drying
Can Any Chili Be Dried?
Even as just about any chili can be naturally air dried, some peppers do present challenges. Keep in mind that thicker meaty flesh on any chili will take longer to dry—due to the higher moisture content. This moist and meaty variety can also become rotten if not kept in higher temperatures, low humidity, with good air flow. This may be why it is more likely to find jalapeño peppers in a smoked or pickled state of preservation rather than dried.
Chili Peppers
Cancer And Capsaicin
Capsaicin Fights Cancer
Being that capsaicinoids are phyto chemicals (they have medicinal applications), they are said to be an effective cancer fighter. Is seems that they help to process hydrocarbons (bad free radicals) in such a way, that they cannot bind to DNA causing cell mutations—like cancer.
Dried Red Chillies
Hot Chillies
How To Use Sun Dried Peppers
Once you have your chili peppers completely dry and ready for use, you can remove the stems, and use them in several ways, below you will find 4 ways to use dried peppers.
4 Ways To Used Dried Chillies
- Grind them into chili powder or flakes
- Rehydrate them in hot tap water for about 30 minutes, and use similar to fresh chillies (discard the bitter soaking water, and never use boiling water or too much flavor can get leached out)
- Add hydrated peppers to salsa or sauces; straining out the tough skins
- Toast chilies to activate their oils for about 30 seconds on each side before using whole in sauces (remove chili from sauce before serving)

Serving Spicy Recipes
No matter how you use your chilies, just remember that the seeds and inner membrane of the pepper hold a great deal of the heat. Removing all—or part—of these before using them in a recipe can determine just how picante (spicy) your food results will be.
Make sure to have some ice cream or milk on hand for those who may have sensitivity to your hot chili fiery foods!

Comments for "Chili Peppers, Drying Peppers Naturally"
What a wonderful idea
In my kitchen, chilli peppers get rotten because I didn't know how to store them for long duartion
Thanks for sharing
I've tried doing it this way but had no joy at all - it's too humid or the bugs get them. Good to see someone has success doing it this way.
What a great idea. I didn't think of hanging them up before. I laid them down on a rack but next time I will try your idea.
Thanks for the tip.
Hey, I'm going to try this! Thanks for the info. Voted up & useful.
You can't see it, but I'm throwing a temper tantrum because I really want a garden so I can do this! I always learn so many cool things from your hubs, K9! :) Voted up and sharing.
This is exactly what I was looking to learn today. Thanks so much. Next year I plan to do more container gardening so this will help with the excess harvest. I love your illustrations and the method you described sounds really easy. One step closer to natural is a good thing.
We love any kind of peppers . hot sweet. any kind. I just put some in vingar . great hub. voted up. Debbie
My mom accidentally planted too many hot pepper bushes and she was trying to figure out what to do with them all. I will forward her this article! :)
Great photos of your fresh and dried chiles! I've never attempted to dry my own chiles, although you can buy at least two varieties of dried chiles here in Peru: paprika and marisol. I often grind dried chiles and use the powder blend in chili con carne. It's much better than store-bought chili powder. Thanks for a very useful hub with lots of detail. Voted up!
Thank you for this. I really thought there was more to it.
I have oodles of these growing and wondered what I would do. When I put things like this in the freezer they just become a memory until I come across something month later and couldn't tell you what it is, lol. This is a great idea! Thank you. I will do this.
You grow beautiful Chili peppers! Looks like some work to dry them, but I'm sure they are worth the time.
I love hot chili peppers!
Very informative Hub. I voted it UP, will share and Pin.
Fantastic photos and directions! Who doesn't love peppers and we certainly don't want them going to waste. Well done India! :)
thanks for the tips on drying - one note though on re-hydrating, if you take off the stem & seeds before adding the water you can just put it all in a food processor and strain out the skins - no bitterness
here's one of many mexican recipes i've posted
Loved this and something I think would be fun to do. We love peppers. Will bookmark, vote up and share.

Installing CircleCI on Amazon Web Services Manually
This document provides step-by-step instructions for installing CircleCI Enterprise on Amazon Web Services (AWS) without using separate orchestration software in the following sections:
- Prerequisites
- Private Subnet Requirements
- Steps for Installation
- Next Steps for Getting Started
- Troubleshooting
Have the following information available before beginning the installation procedure:
- CircleCI License file (.rli), contact CircleCI Enterprise support for a license.
- AWS Access Key, AWS Secret Key, and AWS Subnet ID
- AWS Region, for example
- AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) ID. Your default VPC ID is listed under Account Attributes in Amazon if your account is configured to use a default VPC.
- Set your VPC [
enableDnsSupport] setting to
trueto ensure that queries to the Amazon provided DNS server at the 169.254.169.253 IP address, or the reserved IP address at the base of the VPC IPv4 network range plus two will succeed. See the Using DNS with Your VPC Amazon Web Servies documentation for additional details.
Private Subnet Requirements
The following additional settings are required to support using private subnets on AWS with CircleCI:
- The private subnet for builder boxes must be a network address translation (NAT) instance or an internet gateway configured for the outbound traffic to the internet.
- The VPC Endpoint for S3 should be enabled. Enabling the VPC endpoint for S3 should significantly improve S3 operations for CircleCI and other nodes within your subnet.
- Adequately power the NAT instance for heavy network operations. Depending on the specifics of your deployment, it is possible for NAT instances to become constrained by highly parallel builds using Docker and external network resources. A NAT that is inadequate could cause slowness in network and cache operations.
- If you are integrating with https://github.com/, ensure that your network access control list (ACL) whitelists github.com webhooks. When integrating with GitHub, either set up CircleCI in a public subnet, or set up a public load balancer to forward github.com traffic.
Steps for Installation
This procedure uses the
awscli to enable CircleCI-installed AWS instances access to S3 for storage and access to the EC2 API for the CircleCI Builder component status updates. After setting up this access, the procedure uses the
init-builder-0.2.sh script to launch the CircleCI Services component and Builders cluster.
Create a
.jsonfile that describes access for the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user or role that will be installed with CircleCI using the following IAM policy as an example, also available at https://enterprise-docs.circleci.com/assets/aws/circleci-iam-policy.json:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement" : [ { "Action" : ["s3:*"], "Effect" : "Allow", "Resource" : [ "arn:aws:s3:::circleci-*", "arn:aws:s3:::circleci-*/*" ] }, { "Action": [ "ec2:Describe*", "ec2:CreateTags", "cloudwatch:*", "iam:GetUser" ], "Resource": ["*"], "Effect": "Allow" } ] }
Use the following commands in the
awsclito create a user with the example policy or replacing it with the link to the
.jsonfile you created in Step 1. Alternatively, it is possible to use an IAM role and instance profile with the same permissions.
$ aws iam create-user --user-name circleci-user $ curl -sSL -o circleci-iam-policy.json https://enterprise-docs.circleci.com/assets/aws/circleci-iam-policy.json $ cat circleci-iam-policy.json # please inspect the policy and validate the permissions it's using $ aws iam create-policy --policy-name circleci-iam-policy \ --policy-document file://circleci-iam-policy.json \ --description "Policy to be used by CircleCI Enterprise machines" [..You will get a large output with containing an Arn line... e.g..] "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::323423423452:policy/circleci-iam-policy", $ aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name circleci-user --policy-arn <<policy-arn-from-last-output>> $ aws iam create-access-key --user-name circleci-user [.. Save the generated access key and secret for use in installation process..]
To install the Services component, using a
c4.4xlargeinstance with an EBS root volume of 100 GB, start one of the following public CircleCI Amazon Machine Images (community AMIs) for the appropriate AWS region:
Region AMI ap-northeast-1 ami-32e6d455 ap-northeast-2 ami-2cef3242 ap-southeast-1 ami-7f22a71c ap-southeast-2 ami-21111b42 eu-central-1 ami-7a2ef015 eu-west-1 ami-ac1a14ca sa-east-1 ami-70026d1c us-east-1 ami-cb6f1add us-east-2 ami-57c7e032 us-west-1 ami-4fc8ee2f us-west-2 ami-c24a2fa2
Place the services box in a security group with the following attributes:
- Whitelist ports 22, 80, 443, 8800 (used for system administration) to potential users
- Whitelist all traffic for the Builder cluster
To install the Builders cluster, using an
r3.4xlarge, start one of the following public CircleCI AMIs for each Builder (the number you start depends on the number of concurrent runs you want) in the appropriate AWS region. {#builder} Note: CircleCI allocates 4GB per build container by default, consider using spot instances as Builder components.
Region AMI ap-northeast-1 ami-eeffcd89 ap-northeast-2 ami-8eec31e0 ap-southeast-1 ami-5823a63b ap-southeast-2 ami-7c12181f eu-central-1 ami-0f32ec60 eu-west-1 ami-821a14e4 sa-east-1 ami-3a026d56 us-east-1 ami-7d71046b us-east-2 ami-eec5e28b us-west-1 ami-45c8ee25 us-west-2 ami-18492c78
Place the Builder instaces in a security group with the following attributes:
- Whitelist all traffic from/to builder boxes and service box
- Whitelist ports 22, 80, 443, 64535-65535 for users. The high ports are used for the SSH feature, so that users can
sshinto the build containers.
To start the installation, SSH into the box as the
ubuntuuser with the
ssh keyyou set for the instance, and run the following
curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/circleci-enterprise/init-builder-0.2.sh | \ SERVICES_PRIVATE_IP=<private ip address of services box> \ CIRCLE_SECRET_PASSPHRASE=<passphrase entered on system console (services box port 8800) settings> \ bash
Note: The
sudo -H -u ubuntu is not strictly necessary when logged in as the
user, but it allows this snippet to be used as-is in a user data script, which
is run as
root. It should take 5-15 minutes for the machine to be fully ready to take builds.
Next Steps for Getting Started
- Click the Open link in the dashboard to go to the CircleCI Enterprise app. The Starting page for a few minutes to as the CircleCI application is booting up, then automatically redirects to the homepage.
- Sign up or sign in by clicking the Get Started button and then add a project using the Setting Up Projects.
Check the Fleet State by clicking the wrench icon on the sidebar navigation of CircleCI and select Fleet State.
- If no instances appear in the list, then the first builder is still starting. The first build may remain queued while the build containers start.
- If there is a builder instance in the list but its state is "starting-up", then it is still downloading the build container image and starting its first build containers.
After the build containers start and complete downloading of images, the first build should begin immediately.
If there are no updates after about 15 minutes and you have clicked the Refresh button, contact CircleCI Enterprise support for assistance.

|My nails are so dashingly pink!
You see, back then when I used to go to lesser priced salons, whenever my cuticles are pushed down and cut with the cuticle cutter and cuticle pusher, my big toes normally end up bleeding. There was even a time my big toe really swelled up so bad (yes, I'm talking pus here people) I could not wear closed shoes for like two weeks! Needless to say, those experiences were bad! And it's because my feet have been murdered before that I've been afraid of getting pedicures. To this date, I actually hold my breath whenever the nail technician is already pushing my big toes' ingrown until it's finally removed.
But that's why I love Dashing Diva. The nail technicians are well trained to handle your feet with tender loving care. What I like about their nail technicians is that they don't force it when your ingrown refuses to get cut up. They apply that softening liquid on it again and they wait for a bit before going back to pushing. As a result, no wounds! No blood! Just gorgeous footsies again.

This artist takes Raphael's picture as his model, but does away with the poetry and idealization, rendering her instead as an object of desire. Take a moment to look at its fine details: the pattern of tiny flowers woven with silver and gold silk thread…the silver border… and the rectangles, or cartouches, lined in red. Each displays a word from a passionate love poem. The basic design for the belt with flowers and cartouche came from a popular pattern book of the 16th century, indicated here by the precision of the embroidery. But the lettering is irregular and slightly misshapen, suggesting that whoever wove this belt chose the poem and also added the phoenixes, working without any kind of template

There are few things more frustrating than being stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire – unless, that is, you also don't have a spare.
In an effort to reduce weight, improve fuel economy and, yes, in some cases to save money, automakers have been cutting back the number of models equipped with spare tires, though they also note that they're doing so on products like the new Lexus LC 500 sports coupe in order to give owners more cargo space.
The silver lining is that today's tires tend to be more rugged and reliable, and many vehicles are now equipped with run-flat tires that are designed to keep going for as much as 50 miles if they lose air pressure, enough to get to a service station for a repair or replacement, the manufacturers claim.
"Having a flat tire can be a nuisance for drivers, but not having a spare could put them in an even more aggravating situation," said John Nielsen, managing director of Automotive Engineering and Repair for AAA. "This can turn the relatively routine process of changing a tire at the roadside into an inconvenient and costly situation that requires a tow to a repair facility."
(Tesla caves to German workers' salary demands. For the story, Click Here.)
According to AAA, 28% of the vehicles sold during the 2017 model-year skipped the spare, whether a conventional full-size replacement or a mini-spare. That's actually a sign that the shift from spare-less vehicles may be winding down, at least in part due to widespread consumer concerns about the practice. During the 2015 model-year, the organization noted, 35% of new vehicles came without a spare.
But don't expect the spare to make a complete return, manufacturers stress, and for a variety of reasons. This is true in many compact cars, especially sports cars like the Lexus LC 500. That new sports coupe has almost no space to put a spare and even with a mini a motorist would be hard-pressed to find room for a couple bags of groceries.
Even on larger vehicles, manufacturers are being forced to cope with increasingly stringent new emissions and mileage regulations. One of the best ways to do so is by cutting mass. Even on a vehicle the size of a Honda Civic, the spare tire and jack can weigh in at over 25 pounds. On a large SUV the number can double.
One alternative is the run-flat tire. They use extra-thick, reinforced sidewalls that allow a motorist to keep going should they lose pressure, typically for at least 50 miles.
(Click Here for more about falling gas prices.)
Run-flats aren't cheap to replace, and some motorists complain that they deliver a harsher ride than regular tires with more compliant – flexible – sidewalls. Newer run-flat designs have improved ride comfort, however.
The other alternative is a spare tire inflation kit. In some cases, that's simply an air pump to fill back up a tire that's simply lost some pressure. But the most common approach also introduces some form of foam sealer that closes up a nail or other puncture wound to the tire.
Nonetheless, "With low-profile tires and the elimination of a spare tire, many newer vehicles are especially vulnerable to roadside tire trouble," Nielsen said. "AAA urges drivers to make it a priority to check their vehicle's equipment and know what to do if faced with a flat tire."
The organization offers a handful of tips for motorists, especially those buying a new or used model:
- Check to see if it comes with a spare and, if not, what alternative it offers;
- Read the instructions before you have a flat so you'll have at least an idea what to do in such an emergency;
- Inspect all of your tires – including the spare, if you have one – to make sure they are in good condition and properly inflated. Under-inflated tires reduce fuel economy and are more prone to premature wear and failure;
- Check expiration dates if you have an inflator kit. The foam cans typically need to be replaced every four to eight years.
Not surprisingly, AAA also recommends signing up for a roadside service plan – though it is just one of many vendors and a number of new vehicles include roadside service in their warranty coverage.
(To see more about the secrets revealed from the leak of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler user guide, Click Here.)
Last year alone, AAA said, it helped 450,000 U.S. motorists who didn't have a spare. It also had to help out a number of drivers who did have one but who didn't know how to change out a flat. A previous AAA study found that 20% of American drivers, about 39 million all told, don't know how to change a tire.

It is advised to remix both base and catalyst before mixing them together.
To 100 parts of BLUESIL RTV 3325 P add 4 parts by weight of BLUESIL CATA 83. The two components should be mixed by hand. In order to avoid the paste to stick upon the skin it's recommended to wet the hand with water. Mix until perfect dispersion of the catalyst into the silicone paste (no coloured smears in the mixture).
The best curing conditions are at 23°C and 50 % relative humidity. The use of products at higher temperatures and/or relative humidity levels will reduce the pot life and increase the setting rate. As opposed to this, lower temperatures and relative humidity levels will increase the pot life and decrease the setting time. It is recommended not to use the product at temperatures below 20°C; under these conditions, the final product performance levels will be difficult to achieve.
At 23°C and 50% relative humidity, the moulds can be demoulded after 16 to 24 hours. In order to achieve the best possible performance levels from the moulds, it is preferable to wait for 24 hours before using them. The definitive properties will be acquired after 3 days.
Apply directly on the model by hands, be aware to achieve a good contact in order to avoid bubbles and voids.Models can be made of several materials, stones, concrete, terracotta etc. Even though silicone is naturally no-adhering to most materials is always recommendable to prepare the model to avoid any risk of the silicone sticking and so damaging the model. Remove dust and apply a pore filler like soapy water, waxes diluted in xylene etc.To improve the quality of the imprint on particularly intricate-shaped model we recommend to apply first by brush several layers of BLUESIL RTV 3325 P + BLUESIL CATA THIXO and to fill the more accentuated undercuts with BLUESIL RTV 3325 P + BLUESIL CATA 83 to better support the final mould.
BLUESIL RTV 3325 P is a two-component silicone elastomer which upon reaction at room temperature through the addition of BLUESIL CATA 83 acquires good mechanical and resilient properties.
Taking imprints by impression of vertical or overhanging models or whenever the model is too large to be moved.Finds application in the following sectors:

This storm transformed the landscape, in some cases forever.
This is what unfathomable looks like.
This is unequivocally the worst flood in the history of any U.S. city.
Such extreme rainfall would be enough to overwhelm any city, but Houston is well-known for its vulnerability.
A tale of two very different floods.
Even weather forecasters are having trouble depicting Tropical Storm Harvey's rains.
The images coming out of the Houston area are terrifying and heartbreaking.
This disaster is unprecedented, officials warn.

Conor McGregor released an official statement via his Facebook page today confirming that he will not be retiring from mixed martial arts but that he simply wants a lighter promotional schedule.
The Irish phenom tweeted just 24 hours ago that he would be retiring from the sport that made him a superstar prompting UFC President Dana White to confirm that McGregor had been removed from the main event at UFC 200.
McGregor's back-to-back whirlwind press conference for UFC 194 and UFC 196 have left the 27 year old wanting to get back to basics ahead of the previously planned rematch with Nate Diaz, whom he lost to in March, stating that he is paid to fight and not to promote.
John Kavanagh, McGregor's coach, has since implored fans to get behind the featherweight champion and make their voices heard.
Ur call now. You are the customers. What do you want? Press conferences or fights? Make some noise because we're ready to do the damn thing!— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) April 21, 2016
The UFC is expected to respond later today at the UFC 197 media day.
The full statement is noted below.
I am just trying to do my job and fight here.
I am paid to fight. I am not yet paid to promote.
I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting.
There comes a time when you need to stop handing out flyers and get back to the damn shop.
50 world tours, 200 press conferences, 1 million interviews, 2 million photo shoots, and at the end of it all I'm left looking down the barrel of a lens, staring defeat in the face, thinking of nothing but my incorrect fight preparation. And the many distractions that led to this.
Nothing else was going through my mind.
It is time to go back and live the life that got me this life.
Sitting in a car on the way to some dump in Conneticut or somewhere, to speak to Tim and Suzie on the nobody gives a *@%&! morning show did not get me this life.
Talking to some lady that deep down doesn't give a *@%&! about what I'm doing, but just wants some sound bites so she can maybe get her little tight ass a nice raise, and I'm cool with that too, I've been giving you all raises. But I need to focus on me now.
I'm coming for my revenge here.
I flew an entire team to Portugal and to Iceland to make my adjustments in preparation and fix my errors I made with the weight and the cardio prep.
With the right adjustments and the right focus, I will finish what I started in that last fight.
I will not do this if I am back on the road handing out flyers again.
I will always play the game and play it better than anybody, but just for this one, where I am coming off a loss, I asked for some leeway where I can just train and focus. I did not shut down all media requests. I simply wanted a slight adjustment.
But it was denied.
There had been 10 million dollars allocated for the promotion of this event is what they told me.
So as a gesture of good will, I went and not only saved that 10 million dollars in promotion money, I then went and tripled it for them.
And all with one tweet.
Keep that 10 mill to promote the other bums that need it. My shows are good.
I must isolate myself now.
I am facing a taller, longer and heavier man. I need to prepare correctly this time.
I can not dance for you this time.
It is time for the other monkeys to dance. I've danced us all the way here.
Nate's little mush head looks good up on that stage these days. Stuff him in front of the camera for it.
He came in with no *@%&! to do that last one. I'd already done press conferences, interviews and shot the ads before RDA pulled out.
Maybe I'll hit Cabo this time and skull some shots pre-fight with no obligation.
I'm doing what I need for me now.
It is time to be selfish with my training again. It is the only way.
I feel the $400million I have generated for the company in my last three events, all inside 8 months, is enough to get me this slight leeway.
I am still ready to go for UFC 200.
I will offer, like I already did, to fly to New York for the big press conference that was scheduled, and then I will go back into training. With no distractions.
If this is not enough or they feel I have not deserved to sit this promotion run out this one time, well then I don't know what to say.
For the record also –
For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations –

Using Deployment Step events to add functionality to Deployment Configuration
With the help of the extensibility features in the SharePoint tools in Visual Studio, you can add functionality to deployment configurations by subscribing to the DeploymentStepStarted and DeploymentStepCompleted events.
To learn more about deployment configurations and deployment steps in SharePoint projects, refer to the MSDN article here.
In this blog post I will show you how to use the DeploymentStepCompleted event and add you own code that is executed when a SharePoint project is either deployed or retracted.
Our scenario is the following: When retracting Web Parts we would like to delete the .webpart file from the SharePoint server. We will create a project item extension for the Visual Web Part project and from that extension we will subscribe to the DeploymentStepCompleted event. First we will need to create a SharePoint project item extension project.
To do that we will need to:
1) Install the Visual Studio SDK from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=47305cf4-2bea-43c0-91cd-1b853602dcc5
2) Create an empty VSIX project
3) Add a class library project which is project item extension project to the solution
4) Add the output from the project item extension project as MEF component content to the VSIX manifest in the VSIX project.
For detailed information on how to create project item extensions you can refer to the walkthrough here or Bing 'Visual Studio 2010 How to: Create a SharePoint Project Item Extensions.
Let's start by creating a project Item extension for Visual Web Part.
internal class ItemExtension : ISharePointProjectItemTypeExtension
public void Initialize(ISharePointProjectItemType projectItemType)
projectItemType.DeploymentStepCompleted += new EventHandler<DeploymentStepCompletedEventArgs>(projectItemType_DeploymentStepCompleted);
void projectItemType_DeploymentStepCompleted(object sender, DeploymentStepCompletedEventArgs e)
ISharePointProjectItem SPProjectItem = e.ProjectItem;
string webPartUrl = GetWebPartFileUrl(SPProjectItem);
if (e.DeploymentStepInfo.Id == DeploymentStepIds.RetractSolution && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(webPartUrl))
SPProjectItem.Project.SharePointConnection.ExecuteCommand<string>(DeleteWebPartFileCommand, webPartUrl);
Notice in above code we created a new class called Item Extension that implements the ISharePointProjectItemTypeExtension interface. In order for this class to be recognized in Visual Studio we added two attributes. With the Export attribute we are telling Visual Studio that this class is a project item extension and with second attribute (SharePointProjectItemType) we are telling Visual Studio that this extension applies to the Visual Web Part projects. Extension developers can subscribe to deployment step events in the Initialize method of the project item extension.
projectItemType.DeploymentStepCompleted += new EventHandler<DeploymentStepCompletedEventArgs>(projectItemType_DeploymentStepCompleted);
The event we subscribed to is raised for all the deployment steps that are executed in the active deployment configuration. With the help of the event args parameter passed to the event handler we can check which step is being executed and decide what code to run.
if (e.DeploymentStepInfo.Id == DeploymentStepIds.RetractSolution && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(webPartUrl))
Since this includes deleting a file on the SharePoint server, the extension uses a custom SharePoint command to call into the SharePoint server object model. For detailed information on why to use SharePoint commands is discussed here.
The line of code which uses the SharePoint command is:
SPProjectItem.Project.SharePointConnection.ExecuteCommand<string>(DeleteWebPartFileCommand, webPartUrl);
When this line of code is executed we create a new process named vssphost4.exe or use an existing one. The SharePoint command named DeleteWebpartFileCommand is executed inside this process during execution.
To create a SharePoint command class we need to:
1) Add a class library project that targets the .NET Framework 3.5 to the same solution as the VSIX and project item extension projects.
2) Add references to Microsoft.SharePoint.dll and Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Commands.dll.
3) Add the commands project output to the VSIX manifest in the VSIX project as a Custom Content Type with Type= "SharePoint.Commands.v4". This will include the commands project in the VSIX as custom assembly which can be used by the SharePoint project extensions.
internal class Command
private void DeleteWebPartFile(ISharePointCommandContext context, string webPartFileUrl)
//Append RootWeb Url
string fullWebpartFileUrl = SPUrlUtility.CombineUrl(context.Web.Site.RootWeb.Url, webPartFileUrl);
SPFile file = context.Web.Site.RootWeb.GetFile(fullWebpartFileUrl);
if (file.Exists)
context.Logger.WriteLine(string.Format("Visual Webpart Extension:Deleted file at {0}", fullWebpartFileUrl), LogCategory.Status);
catch (Exception ex)
context.Logger.WriteLine(string.Format("Visual Webpart Extension:Exception occured when deleting file at: {0}", fullWebpartFileUrl), LogCategory.Status);
context.Logger.WriteLine(string.Format("Visual Webpart Extension:Exception occured when deleting file at: {0}; Exception:{1}", fullWebpartFileUrl, ex.Message + ex.StackTrace), LogCategory.Verbose);
Notice in the above code we are have an attribute SharePointCommand for the method name which will enable it to be recognized and used by the project item extension to call into. Also the first parameter should be ISharePointCommandContext which will have reference to 'SPWeb' to take advantage of Server object model.
You will also see the logger object is also exposed in the context parameter with which we can log back messages to the output window of Visual Studio from vssphost4.exe.
You can now install the extension located in the bin/output folder of the VSIX project after the solution is built. Once this extension is installed the DeploymentStepCompleted event will be raised each time a Visual Web Part project is being retracted after the 'retractSolution' step.
To test and debug the extension:
1) Download and open the extension project from MSDN code gallery.
2) Place a breakpoint in the projectItemType_DeploymentStepCompleted event handler in ItemExtension.cs file and press F5 to start debugging. This will install the VSIX extension in the experimental instance of Visual Studio.
3) The experimental instance of Visual Studio will start. Create a Visual Web Part project (select the project template under the SharePoint 2010 node) and use default values in the wizard.
4) Once the project is created, press F5.
5) Close IE or stop debugging to start executing the retraction steps.
6) Once the retraction steps start executing, you will see the breakpoint being hit after "Retract Solution" step.
7) You will see the file being deleted after the code is executed.
For more information on how to extend the SharePoint project system in Visual Studio you can refer to MSDN topic here or Bing "Visual Studio 2010 Extending the SharePoint Project System".

In the field and embracing the spotlight
On campus and off, communications students and faculty are accomplishing great things in their respective disciplines. They break stories both locally and across the globe and develop public relations campaigns for non-profit organizations. They run student media with the same level of professionalism as established radio and television shows and newspapers.
Finding the right source, angle and word comes naturally to alumni and current students alike. Like their professors, they are gifted storytellers who utilize every medium to craft narratives that are compelling and truthful. When they combine their efforts, the results have been award-winning pieces of investigative reporting and programming.
Each year, students produce professional calibur work, graduates begin their climb in news organizations and advertising firms, and faculty continue to contribute to their fields. Below are just a few examples of their recent work and achievements. This page will be updated frequently as their accomplishments continue to roll in.
