Chilli Jam with Garlic
(Ha! Little do they know … )
I've tried drying them … but we never end up using them that way. I've tried using them as I go … but if I don't harvest them soon enough, the cheeky ringtail possum will come along and gobble them up. (Oh yes, hundreds. Overnight.) I've tried using them from my kitchen windowsill … but I end up forgetting them and they go mushy and rotten.
Make jam, of course.
The time
40 min roasting + 10 min cool + 30 min puree and jam-making
The ingredients
7 large mixed chillies - stems removed
10 cloves of garlic
2 heaping cups of cherry tomatoes (or use regular tomatoes)
1-2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
100 mL red wine vinegar
1 cup raw sugar
1 tsp salt
The process
1. Coat the chillies, garlic and tomatoes in the olive oil, then roast at 200C (400F) for ~40 minutes, until the garlic is melty and the chillies and tomatoes are slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
2. Push through a food mill or fine sieve, so you get all the mushy goodness with none of the seeds and skin.
4. Ladle hot chilli jam into warm, sterilised jars*, seal and label, and cool to room temperature. Then store in the fridge.
Use on just about anything ... like fritters, burgers, pasta ... anything you like spicy!
*I sterilise jars by washing them in hot, soapy water then drying them in an oven set to 100C or less.
The cost
I used my own chillies and my own vinegar, of course. And cheap organic cherry tomatoes. The major cost was the organic garlic! So I reckon my organic chilli and garlic jam cost me $4 to make.
The apologies
I have two. One? That I can only estimate this makes somewhere between 300-600mL of chilli jam. I didn't figure it at the time, and the jars I used are odd sizes.
The other? I have to say that though this jam is flavourful, delicious and tear-inducing ... it is decidedly not photogenic. Three separate occasions have seen me trying to get a pretty picture of the jam - with and without food to spread it on. Alas. You'll just have to make it for yourself ...
And better get some jars ready, 'cos we're going to be doing a lot of preserving this season ...

Perfect timing! Our jalapeno chilli bush (although they don't look like jalapenos so I'm dubious) goes bananas when everything else just looks a bit sad. I've had no idea what to do with these guys. Jam is the perfect answer! Looks like we'll be busy today... Oh - do you think it would work with green chillis?

yay! the starved writer got a lovely photo of the jam, so check it out on her site! http://starvedwriter.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/hot-chili-and-tomato-jam/ Nice. work. (and goats cheese sounds like a perfect match!)
Steph, Sherilyn - go for it! I think this jam'll be good with any chillies. It'll vary in hotness and flavour between batches anyway :)
Thanks, Marnely!

I can't believe the possum eats your chili! I bet he'd love your very inventive jam too :)

What kind of chillies are those on the photo? I have of them, but don't know their name.

I'd love to have a lush garden of chilies. A few months ago my mother-in-law sent us some jalapeno jam and it was so so good! I know that I would love yours with the tomatoes and garlic,yum! Possums really eat chiles? lol :)

Oooooh...this sounds so good! I've never tried a chili jam before but I sure would like to! Bet it would be wonderful to on a pizza instead of tomato sauce!!! :)

This sounds incredibly tasty!

Oh yes, the possums LOVE the chillies!! But they're so cute, you can't hate them.
Sheila - I agree ... though I think you'd have to dilute it with tomato sauce in order for it to be un-hot enough to eat :)
Mushitza - I'll get back to you on that one ... the chillies are my husband's realm of expertise!

Yum I love Chilli Jam.
So it is the possums that loved my chillies. I had blamed the blue tongue lizards.

Oh, ok, I would be glad to know their name, since on my first attempt to grow them I had a great failure but I would like to try again :)

@mushitza According to the expert - these are 'bird's eye' chillies! :)

Until he remembered that he hates the cold and the snow and started crying uncontrollably.
He touched the snow and then spent the next half an hour beating his cold hand against the couch and screaming, "NO!" As our Christmas Kindness to Miles, we let him come in and put his chattering teeth in the tub while the rest of us enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. It has been noted that the other 11 days of Christmas Kindness will need to take place indoors!
Here's to hoping that these lessons serve as a reminder to my children that Christmas is not all about receiving!

In two days, the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) collected $15,000 to help credit union people affected by the recent tornadoes in the Southeast.
NCUF activated it online disaster relief system, CUAid, on Saturday.
"Visiting the affected areas and talking to credit union officials and members really drives home the human toll an event like last Wednesday's tornadoes have on our communities," says Patrick La Pine, president/CEO of the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates (LSCU). "I am heartened by the response of our credit union community and the human spirit in responding to this tragedy which will have a lasting impact on the region for years to come."
While most Tuscaloosa credit unions survived last week's tornadoes unscathed, some weren't as fortunate. DCH Credit Union closed last Thursday and Friday after suffering damage to the front of its building, LSCU reports, but offered shared branching to its members.
The credit union reopened Monday at noon using generator power, and resumed normal hours on Tuesday.
Alabama Credit Union and Tuscaloosa Credit Union helped DCH members access their money up to $200 apiece even though the DCH server was down.
Many hospital employees, who account for a big portion of DCH's membership, count on the credit union to access their money after payday.
"This really saved our hospital employees who had no other banking options," Amy Price, DCH marketing director, told LSCU.
DCH also set up a mobile center in the cafeteria of the hospital to help members access their accounts and emergency loans up to $500. DCH processed $125,000 worth of these loans.
Two DCH employees also lost everything they had in the tornado. The Southeastern Credit Union Foundation is working to assess their needs.
Alabama Credit Union is offering affected members loan extensions and interest-free loans up to $1,000, and is waiving loan payments. Tuscaloosa Credit Union is working with the Southeastern Credit Union Foundation and the Tuscaloosa Housing Authority to try to help 116 families whose homes were destroyed.
Pen Air Federal Credit Union donated a mobile branch to Community Credit Union, Gadsden, Ala., to replace a Rainsville branch that was destroyed.
Credit unions can make donations to the SECUF Disaster Relief Fund or to CUAid.
NCUF developed CUAid in cooperation with state credit union foundations, state credit union leagues, and the CUNA's Disaster Preparedness Committee in 2006.

I have more than 20 genealogy conferences scheduled during the next year at which I will be speaking and teaching classes. Of all those conferences, RootsTech 2014 has the potential to reach the most people. If you like to teach, one student is sufficient. But if you have a passion, you would like to convey your message to as many people as possible. It was the stated goal of the past RootsTech conference to re-broadcast the upcoming 2014 conference to over 600 locations through out the world in a variety of languages. If that happens and I have no doubt that RootsTech 2014 will come close to or exceed that goal, presenting at this one conference could reach more people than all the other conferences combined.
The reason for the expansion of RootsTech 2014 lies in the active participation of all four of the large online genealogical database companies; FamilySearch.org, the sponsor of the Conference and the other three, D.C. Thompson (findmypast.com), MyHeritage.com and Ancestry.com. It is not just the participation of these four companies that is important, it is also important that the Conference brings together diverse communities that approach genealogy from very different perspectives.
The dynamics of our economy make it impractical for the vendors in the genealogical community to go to smaller conferences. The cost of travel, lodging and transporting their sales materials, has to be covered by either the advertising advantage of having a certain number of people or covered by actual sales at a conference. Over the past couple of years, we have seen fewer and fewer of the larger vendors attending local or smaller genealogy conferences due to these economic constraints. One advantage of a large conference, such as RootsTech, is the guarantee that there will be large enough numbers to pay the overhead expenses of attending for either reason.
The same economies of scale apply to the presenters and other participants. If you have enough people present or the opportunity to talk to large numbers through re-broadcasts, then there is a greater attraction.
In addition, the genealogical community needs to attract a new, younger group of participants. RootsTech is taking the opportunity of having a large attendance to provide activities that they hope will attract these younger participants and with a special track of classes aimed at beginners, they also hope to attract new potential genealogists of all ages. At smaller conferences, the classes cannot cover the depth of having dozens of different presenters on an advanced track at the same time as delivering multiple classes for beginners.
So, there are a lot of reasons why a large genealogy conference makes sense. Personally, one big advantage is that many of the people in the diverse genealogical community attend and I get to see and meet them in person. That is a very big plus.

The Drew Industries family of companies, including Lippert Components Inc., Kinro Inc., Kinro Composites, Seating Technology, Michiana Mattress and Happijac, are all preparing for their biggest-ever participation at the upcoming 47th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., Dec. 1-3.
"Business has been significantly better in the last few months," Jason Lippert, president and CEO of Lippert Components and Kinro, said in a news release. "Production levels throughout the RV industry have been up since August, and are expected to stay well ahead of last year right through December. We have also been busier than I can ever remember developing an exceptional number of new products for our RV customers. Many of the new RV models our customers will be unveiling at the show are equipped with a wide array of products from the Drew companies."
Drew's subsidiaries will be launching several products they consider first to the market, including an innovative new in-wall slide system that eliminates the need for cables, to be introduced by Lippert Components. Lippert will also be showing their full line of RV entrance doors with options that include a security alarm system, lighted entry and remote keyless entry.
Seating Technology and Happijac co-developed a multifunctional electric bed system, typically used in toy haulers, which can be converted into a dinette area with surround seating and a removable table. Kinro Composites is unveiling a slide-out fascia made with highly durable and lighter weight thermoformed plastic with a wood grain overlay.
Seating Technology is introducing a new tent design allowing increased head room in the expandable bunk of the tent trailer, and including a patent pending design in which the tent interlocks with the bed door, considered to be the first in the industry to prevent leaking.
Michiana Mattress is presenting their entire line of mattresses that now includes an Evergreen brand featuring an eco-friendly design. Other products to be featured at the show include Kinro's new line of bonded windows and acrylic windows featuring aluminum frames.
"From our remote control system that controls various RV accessories, and our new Quickbite coupler, to our electric stabilizers, tri-glide suspension and new sewer management system, we'll be displaying an incredible number of new products," said Lippert. "It goes without saying that we'll have all of our core products at the show as well, but this clearly marks a year in which we have taken new product development to an exceptional level," Lippert added.

From Chile to California
In 1978, a young Alex Guarachi boarded a plane from Chile to California with the goal of becoming a professional soccer player. Sidelined by an injury in college, a soccer career was no longer an option, and Alex had to set his sights elsewhere.
Alex hails from Santiago, Chile. One of eight children, wine, some of the best from his homeland, was a staple on the dinner table. When Alex made the pilgrimage from Chile to the U.S., those wines were nowhere to be found. Vowing to change that, he and a business partner formed TGIC – Thank God It's Chilean.
Recognizing a virtually untapped market for Chilean wine, in 1985, Alex managed to purchase his first container of Chilean wine, and TGIC Importers, Inc. was officially open for business. What began as a one-man show operating out of Alex's dimly lit garage grew into a multi-million dollar company boasting a portfolio of some of the finest wines from not only Chile, but also Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and California.
Join us as we talk with Alex about his nearly 30 years in the wine business, the emergence of Southern Hemisphere wines, and how he came to start his own wine label.

Successful SIMs deployment
This month's issue of Information Security weighs the pros and cons of security information management systems (SIMs). Four case studies illustrate the different roadblocks security managers can encounter during and after a SIMs deployment, and explain how those hurdles were overcome. In each instance, visibility and control over reams of log data were gained, and regulatory compliance pains subsided. On Sept. 21 at noon, SANS instructor Lenny Zeltser will do a live webcast, presenting five steps toward a successful SIMs deployment.

The European Banking Authority and European Union are currently leading two major regulatory operations: the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD IV) and the associated Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) that have become effective on January 1, 2014, and Solvency II that is expected to become effective on January 1, 2016.
Designing and implementing a streamlined and efficient process for the preparation of regulatory reports is challenging, and data collation, validation and sign-off can be complex and time-consuming tasks.
The ever-changing regulatory landscape means financial service companies have to adapt to changes in reporting requirements. Accenture can help those companies by evaluating their current state and risks, providing tactical and strategic recommendations for achieving optimal outcomes, and assessing relevant benchmarking against market practice.

One quick tip: I stood the nightstands up when I fit the decorative front piece on to make sure it was flush with the bottom of the nightstand and to help prevent any issues with the bottom drawer opening if it was placed too high.
Hopefully it doesn't take you 4 months like it took me! I took my time to uh...make sure... everything was perfect. Or something.
Updated to add: Apartment Therapy already featured these nightstands! A couple observant people over there commented on the lack of baseboard/outlet cover in an otherwise nice photo (y'all know how I struggle with baseboard... le sigh.) So, for fun, I made up a pretend photo so we can all imagine it's done and everything's pretty-like.
Ahh. Much better, right? If only it was really that easy!

A mikveh (Hebrew: מִקְוָה "gathering" [of water]) or mikvah is a bathing pool in which a person immerses themself as part of the cleansing process (tevilah "immersion") to ritual purity in Judaism and Messianic Judaism. Natural bodies of moving water such as oceans and rivers, rainwater-replenished wells and spring-fed lakes are also considered to be mikvehs. However, problems of accessibility, weather and lack of privacy have led to the construction of man-made pools.[1]
Many Jewish women undergo ritual cleansing on a monthly basis, following menstruation, and also just before marriage and just after childbirth. Grooms immerse themselves on their wedding day, and some men also immerse themselves in a mikveh before the Sabbath and the festivals, particularly just before Yom Kippur. Tevilah is also one of the requirements at the end of the process of conversion to Judaism and some schools of Messianic Judaism.
Participants first remove all clothing and even jewellry to ensure that the entire body is washed by the waters, and then bathe or shower in a separate area before immersing the body entirely in the mikveh: Jewish halachah stipulates that a person must be externally scrupulously clean before the ritual cleansing. "The function of mikvah is not to enhance physical hygiene. The concept of mikvah is rooted in spiritual [hygiene]."[2] The mikveh pool itself must be built into the ground and bathtubs or similar receptacles are therefore unsuitable. The mikveh must contain a minimum of two hundred gallons of rainwater, gathered in accordance with an intricate set of Jewish laws.

This tutorial is aimed to teach how to draw an accurate dromaeosaur, the family of theropods often called raptors, using a Velociraptor as example. The tut is divided in two parts. The first part is a basic explanation of what is and what is not a dromaeosaur: the difference between the movies/pop culture blood thirsty beasts, and the real animal (or at least an aproximation). The second part is a step-by-step to draw your own Velociraptor in a dynamic pose. Again, I simplified enough so everyone can do it easily, omiting certain details that you only can achieve by study and understanding the anatomy of the animal. Ask me if you have any doubt. Hope you like it!!

On Friday, Taipei District prosecutors concluded their investigation into the "State Affairs Fund" case. While it is rewarding to know that the legal system is not frightened of the privileged, can expose corruption and has the confidence of the people, a few points about the case should be considered.
First, although the prosecutors have indicted first lady Wu Shu-jen (吳淑珍) and three presidential aides -- two current and one former -- verdicts in their cases have yet to be handed down.
During the upcoming trials, the process must remain independent and not suffer from political interference. The judicial system should decide the cases based on facts and strict adherence to the law.
The indictments handed out on Friday may have eased the public's concerns about corruption, but if the trials conclude without a concrete decision, the public's trust will be broken.
The announcement of the indictment obviously made some people in the pan-blue camp happy while causing concern in the pan-green camp. Some believe that the indictment will cause a collapse of support for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the Taipei and Kaohsiung mayoral and city council elections.
I believe that this is a distinct possibility, and that the indictment will influence voters strongly for the next few days. But Taiwanese voters are forgetful, and there are still 36 days until the elections.
The DPP is excellent at campaigning, and the indictments leave room for DPP candidates to distance themselves from President Chen Shui-bian (
If this were to happen, the DPP could turn the events to its own political advantage. In the Kaohsiung mayoral election, for example, there is an even greater possibility of the indictments producing a cut-off effect whereby the candidates would distance themselves from those indicted, thus improving the DPP's situation.
After the announcement of the indictments, some of the pan-blue legislators and some of the red-clad protesters were obviously excited, because the indictments gave them new confidence after their long-running disappointment at the judiciary's lack of independence.
There are reports that the pan-blues will propose a third recall motion to force Chen out of office. I do not oppose such a move, but the last two recall motions failed and the third attempt could have the same outcome.
If the DPP's power to block the motion and the strength of the undying loyalty of pan-green supporters is underestimated, the third recall will fail as before. If that happens, the pan-blues would not only have lost an opportunity, but they would also have suffered a major setback.
Finally, I believe that although the announcement of the indictments in this case will doubtlessly inspire public confidence in the judiciary, the case must not be used as a tool in the elections lest the pan-blues and pan-greens become even more polarized.
Even though a campaign strategy of pointing out other candidates' links to corrupt officials could help to win an election, it would make any cooperation between the pan-blue and pan-green camps nearly impossible.
If Taiwan's political parties are unable to peacefully coexist on the domestic front, the nation will have great difficulty in its relationships with other countries. This is something that all political parties in Taiwan must consider.

You might think an ergonomic Herman Miller chair and a perfectly positioned desk would make for the ideal home workspace. But you've been lied to. When you have the luxury of working from home you're gonna want to put your feet up, and Coalesse's forthcoming Hosu lounger lets you do just that.
It easily transformers from a chair to a lounger by just flipping over a hinged cushion, and pockets located on the sides and back mean you don't need to waste money on a filing cabinet when outfitting your home office. The Hosu also seems to be the first seating solution that acknowledges the existence of charging cables, and so provides strategically placed channels to tuck them away so they're not just hanging all over the place. There's no pricing info just yet, but come the fall you'll be able to get it in 36 or 64-inch wide styles, in one of six fabric colours.

The Hope College Great Performance Series will present ETHEL featuring Robert Mirabal in "Music of the Sun" on Friday, Jan. 27, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
Acclaimed as one of America's leading postclassical string quartet, ETHEL seeks to boldly infuse contemporary concert music with fierce intensity, questioning the boundaries between performer and audience, tradition and technology.
"The New York Times" has said that ETHEL features "Extraordinarily skilled, and passionate musicians."
Three-time Grammy Award-winning Native American flutist Robert Mirabal is joining ETHEL to create a cross-cultural contemporary music event. The evening will highlight instruments of the string quartet, and Native American flutes and drums. "Music of the Sun" is a program inspired by Native American sun traditions, in which each day begins with "running to the sun"—a fusion of spiritual and physical discipline.
The collaboration grew out of the ETHEL/Mirabal work as part of ETHEL's "TruckStop" project, which premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2008.
Formed in 1998, New York's ETHEL is comprised of Juilliard-trained performers: Cornelius Dufallo (violin), Dorothy Lawson (cello), Jennifer Choi (violin) and Ralph Farris (viola). ETHEL performs adventurous music of the past four decades, including repertoire by Steve Reich, Osvaldo Golijov, Phil Kline, David Lang, John King, John Zorn, Don Byron and Marcelo Zarvos. Recent highlights have included the world premiere of Phil Kline's "SPACE" at the gala reopening of Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall; the world premiere of ETHEL's "TruckStop: The Beginning" at BAM's Next Wave Festival; the world premiere of "RADIO" by Osvaldo Golijov at the debut of WNYC Radio's Jerome L. Greene Space; theworld premiere of ETHEL's self-composed "WAIT FOR GREEN" with choreography by Annie-B Parson, commissioned by the World Financial Center; the world premiere of an original live film score at "Celebrate Brooklyn!"; and the TROMP Festival with Colin Currie and Todd Rundgren. ETHEL currently serves as Ensemble-in-Residence with the Native American Composers Apprenticeship Project and the 2011 Artists-in-Residence at New York City's Park Avenue Armory.
Tickets are $18 for regular admission, $13 for senior citizens, and $6 for children 18 and under, and are available online at https://tickets.hope.edu/ticketing and at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse. The ticket office is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets. Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

The redesign of the airport's technology infrastructure being developed and implemented by IBM will gradually replace existing systems with a modern flexible system that seamlessly integrates applications and services. This will create a central platform for GRU's data, helping the airport more freely share information between departments, agencies and regulators. The goal is to meet the airport's demands for a digital infrastructure that supports its growing operations, as well as the needs of airlines, retailers, financial management and business flow at the airport.
"Much like a city, an airport has a complex set of physical and digital systems – airlines, baggage handling, facilities, operations, and retailers – that need to be interconnected to deliver a better travel experience," said Renato Vianna, Associate Partner, IBM Global Business Services.
The first phase of the technology and services project is taking place now and includes installation and configuration of the systems. Next, IBM and GRU will begin integrating the data across departments and agencies.. The system is expected to be fully operational by May 2014 when Terminal 3 opens, increasing the airport's capacity by approximately 12 million passengers.
For GRU Airport IT director, Luiz Ritzmann, the project will provide a service with more agility and quality for users of the airport. "Another advantage is the system's ability to adjust to growing demands. The airport is acquiring a new check-in system, cameras to improve security, baggage systems and other services that need a more flexible and efficient infrastructure."

I got back from Melbourne a few days ago, having visited an old friend, caught up with family and did tons of sightseeing. Holidays happy-snaps are here. The scans, unfortunately, are up to snuff, partly due to careless handling of camera and negatives, and partly due to the useless chump in the campus photo lab; I spent a better half of an afternoon explaining why I didn't want pictures scanned reversed or with a bright magenta cast :-)
I use a Nikon FM3A body and a 50mm prime lens. Despite being a brand new and very current piece of equipment, the user interface is perfect and highly evolved to do just one thing, and do it well. Rather than being laden with a complex array of controls, options, onboard computers and labour-saving gadgets, it has about half a dozen controls at the most, each doing exactly one thing and one thing only. The result is a robust and eminently usable user interface. The closest comparison I could make off the top of my head, in the Open Source world would be Sound-Juicer versus Grip, although in fairness, you couldn't compare a Nikon F5 with, say, Grip's user interface, not in a million years (the analogy breaks quite badly :-)).
Note to self: the GNOME HIG would make interesting reading.
At work, I've been asked to evaluate Java web application development frameworks. There's certainly no shortage of them. I've been meaning to play with a couple of them in my own time, but I never find the time or energy.
On a change of tack, a discussion arose recently on the HUMBUG forums about the promise of blogging for bypassing conventional media and giving the unwashed masses a hope of getting news unfiltered by an elite agenda. My answer to that, of course, is that it won't happen.
It is the job of the professional journalist to gather news, interpret it and present it. They operate in a highly-evolved (but nonetheless imperfect) environment of standards of fairness, even-handedness and integrity. A blog, even if it's written in a combat zone, is merely a soapbox for ordinary people to sound off, much like a beefed up and totally unfiltered version of the Letters to the Editor. You don't realistically expect to get your news from op-eds and letters to the editor, do you?
It does not appear to me that bloggers feel the need to do as much fact-checking or be as honest or fair as conventional media, nor would they expect to be, since blogs tend to be, by their very nature, highly subjective. To attempt to assimilate and understand the news in an objective way, a reader would have to read a vast amount of material and then draw his own conclusions. This is unlikely, because most of us have lives and jobs, we tend to read material that we agree with, and bloggers tend to move in packs (the war-bloggers being a decent example).
Of course, a typical example would be Tim Blair, a washed up journalist reject who was once hired by the Australian ABC, laughably, as a 'right-wing Phillip Adams'. It turned out that Tim Blair didn't make the cut and had his contract not renewed. The poor sod now runs a very popular blog (where he gets to bash Aunty and sneer at Arabs and little-L liberals), which of course suits everybody right down to the ground, because he is no longer restricted by journalistic rules of fair play, fact-checking, intellectual honesty and the like, and most normal people can safely ignore him. One look at his blog and the two-dozen linked blogs delivers epiphany: the blog world will never, ever hold a light to conventional media in terms of quality or usefulness. Real journalists writing for real media have to abide by minimum standards of integrity and intellectual honesty, Chomsky's media filter model notwithstanding.
Me? I read blogs, but I read them for entertainment, mostly. Although seeing the perspectives of others can be enlightening especially if they thoughtfully and fairly challenge one's own held beliefs, I don't expect quality. Any dickhead with an agenda can set up a blog, and they often do.
This probably explains the very large right-wing pundit and blogger community: it's an extension of Alan Jones or John Laws (Rush Limbaugh for the Americans). The Internet now gives any old joe too lazy to think for himself or consider the perspectives, feelings or rights of others the opportunity to sound off (and gullible people to believe their self-serving rhetoric) without being criticised by the hated shiny-arsed 'elite' academic types for being stupid, insensitive, wilfully ignorant and lazy. Stop reading blogs, buy the newspaper and help support real journalism with real standards.
Like it or hate it, the conventional media, despite it's flaws is probably here to stay, and like pet rocks and hula-hoops, the blog will die a quiet and lonely (if not slightly overdue) death, at least in it's vain, hyped, hypertropied-ego form.
While I'm here sledging conservatives, did anybody see that Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen wants $AU335 million dollars compensation for 'hurt and suffering' and 'lost income' caused by an government enquiry into the corrupt activities of various members and hangers-on during his long reign? Gotta admire his chutzpah.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
To transfer to another person (the assignee) all or some of the rights and responsibilities that another person (the assignor) holds under a contract. For example, a tenant may assign his lease to another person, who then has the right to live in the rental and the obligation to honor all terms of the lease. Also, to assert or point out, as in, "The appellant assigned as errors three of the judge's rulings."

The Teaching with Historic Places program uses places as resources for studying local, state, and national history--events, the impact of people on events, technological change, and political and social trends. Historic places can also be used to study geography--how locale, terrain, and climate affect events and lives, and how people shape the environment for their purposes. All kinds of places can provide the focus for a lesson in history, geography, and many other subjects in the school curriculum. Courthouses, jails, train stations, bridges, lighthouses, plantation mansions, crude log cabins, battlefields, or the ruins of a 1,000 year-old Indian village are only a few of the possibilities from which to choose.
The format used for Teaching with Historic Places lesson plans contains elements required by school districts across the nation and is designed for easy use by teacher and students. It organizes interesting and illuminative material that complements and enriches the study of American history.
Each lesson plan begins with an Introduction written to interest educators in the place and to entice them into reading further. Lessons then progress through a sequence that shows teachers where the lesson fits into the curriculum, defines learning objectives, lists the contextual materials that will be used by the students, and offers information on visiting the site. Lessons go on to provide historical background information for students, introduce a variety of written and visual materials from which students can gather evidence and formulate conclusions, and suggest activities to guide students' learning. At least one of these activities lead students back to their own community where they can explore places related to the lesson topic. The last section of the lesson consists of a page of supplementary resources, allowing students and teachers to further explore themes presented in the lesson plan.
Constructing the lesson
Throughout the guide, each section title is linked to a corresponding example in one of our online lesson plans. Please use these links to explore how other authors created each section of their TwHP lesson.
I. Introduction to the lesson (2 - 3 paragraphs)
The Introduction: (1) presents a dramatic and engaging description of the place; (2) hints at the story the place has to tell; and (3) includes a visual image of the site(s) to be studied.
The Introduction should focus like a camera on the site. It should use sensory language that evokes the feeling that one can almost see the people involved, hear what they hear, and view the place as they saw it. This opening must "grab" the teacher so they will want to go on reading the story and become excited about using the lesson in their classrooms.
II. About This Lesson
A. General Citation
This subsection should begin by establishing that the lesson is based on a real historic place that still exists. A general reference to the materials used to create the lesson should be noted, including the National Register of Historic Places registration file name. It should also include references to the author, or authors of the lesson plan.
B. Where it fits into the curriculum
This subsection briefly explains how the lesson can add to established history or geography curricula by categorizing the subject according to Topic, Time Period, and relevant United States History Standards for Grades 5-12.
C. Objectives for students
The objectives should be measurable, indicating the skills students will practice as a result of their study and the knowledge they will gain. For example, an objective might read: "To analyze [skill] the impact the building of the canal had on the growth of communities along its route [knowledge]." An objective also might indicate a generalization that students could draw from the lesson; an example of a generalization would be: "To explain the role irrigation systems played in the development of Texas farmland and other arid lands."
The objectives should relate directly to the materials and activities presented in the lesson. The basic information students will need to master the objectives should be contained within the readings and visual materials. Putting It All Together activities sometimes ask students to supplement the data in the lesson by comparing and contrasting it with information from textbooks, additional archival research, or investigation of community history and historic places. Students will demonstrate their mastery of the objectives by completing the questions in Determining the Facts and Visual Evidence, and the activities in Putting It All Together (see sections III C and III D below).
*Each lesson should have four to five measurable objectives.
*At least one of the listed objectives should reference the local activity in Putting It All Together.
D. Materials for students
Essentially this entry should list the materials to be used by the students in accordance with the lesson plan, including all maps, readings, and visual images.
E. Visiting the site
This subsection offers information on visiting the site for those who can do so. This section is very brief. It reinforces students' awareness that the lesson is based on a real place. It also lets the students and teacher know if the site is open for visitation, how to contact the site, and if the site has a Web page.
III. Teaching Activities
A. Getting Started
Rather than serving merely as illustrations for the text, images are documents that play an integral role in helping students achieve the lesson's objectives. The purpose of the Getting Started section is to immediately engage students' interest by raising questions that can be answered only as they complete the lesson.
First select an intriguing image that can also be used in the Visual Evidence section.* Ask an inquiry question to get students thinking about what they are going to learn. The inquiry question should be thought-provoking and serve as a prelude to what is in store in the lesson plan. Keep in mind that students study the Getting Started image even before they know the topic of the lesson. To facilitate a class discussion, teachers may print this page and use it to make an overhead transparency.
*As no information is provided about the image in the Getting Started section, using the same image in Visual Evidence allows students to eventually learn more about it in greater depth.
B. Setting the Stage (2 - 4 paragraphs)
This section provides both teachers and students with a short overview of the material essential to the students' understanding of the lesson. The section might also explain unusual or unique characteristics of the site and provide contextual definitions for specialized vocabulary. Define specialized vocabulary within the text, either in this section or in the readings, instead of creating a Glossary or Vocabulary List.
The teacher will decide how to introduce this information to the students. The teacher may read it aloud, make copies for the students to read, or use it as the basis of an informal lecture. Deciding what belongs in Setting the Stage and what should be left for Determining the Facts can be difficult. Keep in mind that Setting the Stage provides historical background and Determining the Facts includes the essential information related to the focus of the lesson. Keep Setting the Stage short, but be sure to provide enough information for students to answer the related questions in the Locating the Site section.
C. Locating the Site (1 - 2 maps)
This section presents one or two maps to guide students in locating the site within the state; within the United States; and in relation to important natural and man-made features such as rivers, mountains, and transportation routes. If more substantive geographic information is relevant to the lesson, it might be included in Visual Evidence. Each map should include two or more questions for students. Extended captions may be included to provide students with information necessary to answer the questions.
D. Determining the Facts (2-3 readings)
This section contains the readings and visual materials students will need to gather information about the place. For each reading and visual presentation, the lesson includes a series of questions to assist students in gathering the appropriate facts.
Each reading will provide data on one aspect of the place used in the lesson--its reason for being and the people associated with it. Together with the visual evidence, the readings should provide sufficient information for students to understand why the place is important and why it has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The first reading usually focuses on the "general story" that the place has to tell. This reading often is adapted from National Register documentation, but it may also include material from other sources, usually secondary. Primary source documents such as letters, speeches, or newspaper articles can be compiled as a reading with short narrative links. Other written materials may include charts, graphs, census data, inventories, quotations from one or more people, etc. Number each reading and give it a title.
Three to five questions for each reading are designed to determine whether students have gathered the appropriate facts. These questions may be specific to each reading, or ask students to combine information from readings. Each set of questions should progress from recall ("When did settlers first enter the area?") to critical analysis ("Why would being the center of trade lead to a high degree of cultural sophistication and affluence?"). Teachers may use some or all of these questions. They may write them on the chalk board, make copies for all students or for small groups of students working together. The main purpose of the questions is to make sure that students can make sense of the material.
E. Visual Evidence (3-6 visuals)
This section provides students with visual materials such as photos, paintings, drawings, sketches, and sometimes additional maps. Questions for each visual are designed to help students interpret the materials. Visuals selected for this section are not mere "illustrations," but should be treated as additional documents. Questions should expand students' skills in "reading" this kind of evidence. Extended captions may be included to provide students with important information. Remember to include the Getting Started image allowing students the opportunity to learn more after having had some context in the readings and maps.
NOTE: When students have completed the exercises in Locating the Site, Determining the Facts, and Visual Evidence, they should have a good understanding of the issues, events, people, features, and vocabulary relevant to the place and the specific focus of the lesson. It is in preparing these sections that authors will discover whether they have a clear, reasonable focus for their lesson. At this point authors may realize they need to provide teachers and students with additional background information in the Setting the Stage section.
F. Putting It All Together (3 - 4 activities)
It is in this section, after gathering evidence from the data provided, that students are asked to arrive at some conclusions. The activities should engage students in lively manipulation of the data in a variety of ways. (Please refer to the following section on Student Exercises and Activities, under "Notes to Authors").
One or more of the activities should focus the students' attention on their own community. They should look for places in their own community that relate to the topic of the lesson. For example, "Have students research the economic base that allowed their community to grow and prosper, and then find historic places that represent that economic base." Conversely, students might begin by looking for historic places that represent certain themes and then research their importance to the community; for example, "Find examples of folk housing in your community, and then research the culture of the group who introduced the style or construction technique."
Activities should encourage and guide teachers and students in using the community's resources, such as preservation groups, historical societies, libraries, archives, city planners, senior citizens, faculty from nearby colleges and universities, and--of course--the places themselves. Activities can encourage and guide students to play an active role in taking care of places in their community that document its history and culture. As a community service project, students might conduct research, develop interpretive materials, make presentations to community leaders, or help rehabilitate deteriorating structures and sites.
Students' ability to successfully complete the activities in this section should demonstrate their mastery of the learning objectives. It is at this point you should review the student objectives to make sure they correspond to the activities.
G. Supplementary Resources (6-10 references)
This final section supplements the lesson plan with online resources where students and teachers may find additional information about the place(s) studied in the lesson as well as the different topics and themes addressed. The author should provide a list of Internet sites that compliment the lesson. A short description is needed for each site to demonstrate how it relates to the lesson plan. Keep in mind that the source should be reputable and should not be a commercial site. Some strong examples of sources include educational institutions, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Smithsonian, historical societies, museums, and library collections.
Notes to Authors
Selecting a Focus
Most historic places have many stories to tell. One of the most challenging tasks in writing a lesson plan is selecting one of those stories on which to concentrate. You cannot include everything about a building or site that is interesting and still keep the story manageable. Use only the information that will yield a better understanding of the important concept or theme you have chosen. Even lessons that use more than one historic place need to focus on a single theme. It may be helpful to write out a statement of focus before beginning, and refer to it periodically as you develop the lesson plan.
Writing Style
The Introduction, About This Lesson, and Putting It All Together are written for the teacher. Writing style should be appropriate for adult professionals. Portions intended for students include Getting Started, Setting the Stage, Locating the Site, Determining the Facts, Visual Evidence, and Supplementary Resources. These should be written in clear, relatively short sentences. It is important, however, not to talk down to the students as they are surprisingly sophisticated. When using primary sources in the readings, some of the language may be arcane, or ungrammatical, or use unfamiliar colloquialisms. If the language is particularly difficult in a reading, this issue might be addressed in the questions on the reading, or it may be necessary to provide an explanation within the reading. Lessons generally target middle school grades, but should be adaptable for use from upper elementary through high school grades; some have been used in college classes.
Generally, each lesson runs 12-16 published pages, including text and visuals, which is 3,000-5,000 words. This length provides maximum flexibility for teachers, who can use a lesson plan as is, or adapt it to their own needs. For example, a teacher might pick out portions to insert into prepared units, or expand a lesson by creating additional activities.
Selecting materials for the lesson
Select materials that focus on specific points you want to make, and do not include irrelevant written or visual information. It is important that both written and graphic materials be of publishable quality and also easily duplicated for students' use. For photographs and maps, check to make sure that there is as much contrast as possible between light and dark tones, that the image is not too cluttered, that any details stand out clearly, and that printed words are sharp and clearly legible. Keep in mind that many images will need to be reduced in size for publication. Also remember that most materials lose resolution and clarity when they are photocopied, so choose the clearest and most vivid visual materials available.
If your lesson is to be posted on the Internet or published in print, you will need to obtain written permission from the author, artist, or publisher for any materials that are not in the public domain. Contact Teaching with Historic Places for sample permission forms.
A reading might be constructed from one or more sources. These can be primary or secondary sources. To the greatest extent possible, use the exact language and style from primary sources, editing for clarity only when absolutely necessary. Use ellipses to shorten and brackets to indicate your editorial clarifications. Whether you are using primary or secondary sources, be mindful of copyright laws, using footnotes or endnotes, or obtaining permissions to use materials, when required. At the end of the reading, indicate if it is "excerpted from..." or quoted directly from its source, "adapted from..." the source or "compiled from..." several sources. You must provide a complete citation for all materials used, and must provide such a citation for anything that will be published: (1) for written materials you need to cite the author and/or editor, title of publication, place of publication, publisher and year of publication (for books), volume number and date (for articles), and pages cited or used as background; (2) for graphic materials you need to cite the location of the original, (State Department of Archives and History, Raleigh, NC), the date the photograph was taken (approximate, if that is all that is available), and the photographer if known.
Student Exercises and Activities
Make sure the lesson does not depend on students having to visit the site that is the subject of the lesson plan. The materials used in Determining the Facts and Visual Evidence must be sufficient for students to gather the evidence they will need. The activities in Putting It All Together, on the other hand, will lead students to go beyond the information provided in the lesson plan and look at the larger picture. The activities in this section might ask students to compare and contrast the information and the place(s) in the lesson plan to other information they have or will research. Activities also should lead students to discover and understand the historic places in their own communities and how they fit into the broad themes and events in American history. Students can conduct interviews with family members, community elders or business leaders. They can do research at a library, newspaper or government offices. They can locate maps, journals, diaries or other kinds of documents. They can work with local preservation groups, museums or historical societies. For many schools, structured field trips are few and far between. It is better, therefore, to design activities that individual students or groups can do on their own--to and from school, overnight, and weekends.
Exercises for students should provide opportunities for practicing both basic (reading and writing) and critical thinking (analyzing and interpreting) skills. Both exercises and activities should guide students through challenging questions to examine and explore evidence and form conclusions. Activities should appeal to different learning styles and teaching techniques: independent study, cooperative learning, imaginative presentation. Activities also should suggest ways to get students to explore their own communities and ways to involve preservationists, interpreters, and local historians in the classroom. The goal should be to help students recognize that preservation and stewardship of our natural and built environments are important components of good citizenship.

From Austin Water:
With freezing weather in the forecast, Austin Water is reminding residents to protect their property and prevent property damage and uncontrolled water loss due to frozen or broken water pipes by following the tips below:
Before Freezing Weather
• Wrap all exposed pipes located outside or in unheated areas of the home.
• Remove garden hoses from outside faucets.
• Cover vents around the foundation of your home.
•Know where your property owner's cut-off valve is located and how to use it. The valve is located adjacent to the water meter box under a 6″ metal lid.
In Sub-Freezing Weather
• Drip outside faucets 24 hours a day (5 drops per minute). This is not necessary unless temperatures are expected to be 28 degrees or below for at least 4 hours. (Be sure to turn off the faucets after the threat of freezing weather.)
• Open cabinet doors under sinks adjacent to outside walls.
• In unheated garages, shut off water to washing machines. Water softeners should be drained and protected from freezing temperatures.
• In sustained sub-freezing weather, let water drip slowly from inside faucets.
• Take extra precautions to protect pipes that have frozen in the past.
If You Are Not Going To Be At Home
• Shut water off at the property owner's cut-off valve.
• Drain all outside water faucets if your house will be unoccupied for several days (leave outside faucets open).
•Or, leave home heating system on at a low setting.
• Open cabinet doors under sinks adjacent to outside walls.
Renters and tenants may be responsible for personal property damage caused by broken water pipes during severe weather conditions. Residents should contact property management/landlord or maintenance personnel to locate property owner's cut-off valve and find ways to avoid pipe breakage during a freeze.
Austin Water encourages all customers to turn off irrigation systems during the winter months to help conserve water. However, businesses that continue to operate landscape irrigation systems are asked to shut their systems off in order to prevent possible freezing of pedestrian areas and damage caused by freezing conditions.
If a water line breaks and the cut off valve does not work or the customer is unable to locate or operate the value, Austin Water is available to turn off the water. Call Austin Water's 24-Hour Emergency Hotline at 512-972-1000.

Gone but Not Forgotten
A tour of AIDS memorials from coast to coast
By Melissa Egan, Barb Panter and Debbie Koenig
Vancouver AIDS Memorial
Location: Sunset Beach West, Vancouver
Artist: Bruce Wilson
Nestled into the side of the hill at the base of Broughton Street in the city's West End, the Vancouver AIDS Memorial pays homage to residents of British Columbia who have died of AIDS-related illnesses.
Championed by HIV physician Dr. Joss de Wet, the memorial was a decade-long journey that touched the lives of many individuals throughout the province. In 1994, after seeing many of his patients and friends die from AIDS, Dr. de Wet began a campaign to have the memorial built. Once Sunset Beach was selected as a location, a competition was held to determine the design. From more than 70 submissions, the steel ribbon with a view of English Bay was chosen. Construction was completed in 2004.
The undulating steel structure has a warm, rusty patina, from which the names of those who have died are cut. Every day, names on the memorial are adorned with flowers and notes are slipped between the letters—tokens of love, remembrance and evidence of how much people are missed. Artist Bruce Wilson dedicated this landmark "to the memory of those lost to HIV/AIDS, to the caregivers who eased their passing, and to those who live with the presence of their absence."
Positive Living BC hosts an annual candlelight vigil here, where the sound of the nearby ocean serves as a soundtrack.
Parc de l'espoir (Park of Hope)
Location: St. Catherine and Panet Streets, Montreal
Artist: Marc Pageau
On December 1, 1990, an ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) Montreal demonstration ended with 1,400 black ribbons being tied to tree branches in an empty lot in Montreal's Gay Village, to commemorate the lives of those who died from AIDS in Quebec. Days later, the City proceeded to remove the ribbons. That January, people tied ribbons in all the colours of the rainbow on those same trees, with the names of people who had died of AIDS written on them. Teddy bears and other objects of personal significance were placed at the foot of the trees over the course of several months. This marked the start of a campaign to claim the site as an AIDS memorial park.
Years later the battle was finally won when the municipality agreed to designate it a commemorative park: In the summer of 1996, the park was officially inaugurated le Parc de l'espoir (Park of Hope).
Large blocks of polished black granite (symbolizing death) are juxtaposed against the garden (which represents life). On sunny days, people congregate on the blocks to watch the crowds on St. Catherine Street flow by.
The AIDS Memorial
Location: Cawthra Park, Toronto
Designer: Patrick Fahn
Landscaping: Alex Wilson
The AIDS Memorial in Toronto was the brainchild of a group of gay men led by AIDS activist Michael Lynch. In 1988, Lynch founded a volunteer committee to make his vision a reality. At first, a temporary memorial was erected each year for Lesbian and Gay Pride Day. Two years later a design competition was held for a permanent memorial, which opened in 1993 outside the 519 Community Centre.
The memorial provides a space for everyone touched by AIDS to grieve, remember and celebrate those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses. Fourteen concrete triangular pillars, arranged in a semi-circle, hold stainless steel plates on which the names of those who have passed are engraved. Patrick Fahn designed the memorial so that there would be room for new names to be added.
Every June a vigil is held in the park and the names of those who died that year are added. Sadly, the names of both Michael Lynch, who died before the monument was completed, and Alex Wilson, who designed the landscaping around the structure, are now engraved among them.
Poems by Michael Lynch and Shoshanna Addley welcome visitors to the memorial. Addley's poem pays tribute "To Those Unnamed":
Our strength, though withered and sapped, regenerates here.
Each name on each standing stone remarks thousandfold
upon those unmarked from sea to sea…
Newfoundland and Labrador AIDS Memorial
Location: ACNL, St. John's, Newfoundland
Artist: Don Short
Artist Don Short designed and created this multimedia panel with the help of staff and volunteers at the AIDS Committee of Newfoundland and Labrador (ACNL), where it is housed. Unveiled in the summer of 2010, it pays homage to the lives of people with HIV who were either ACNL clients or volunteers at some point since the AIDS service organization opened its doors in 1988. In Short's words, the memorial "pays tribute to the courage of individuals who faced AIDS head-on, despite the barriers, stigma and isolation they often confronted when fighting the disease."
The sculptural montage consists of a wooden base with a faux finish and a painting of a beachside AIDS memorial. Around the painting, plaques hold the names of people who have lost their lives to AIDS-related illnesses. A row of pictures and descriptions along the bottom highlight memorials that have taken place in Newfoundland since the epidemic began. Running across the top, these words sum up the spirit of the work:
We light a candle for those we have lost.
They have shown courage in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
Their light cannot be extinguished.
The Canadian AIDS Memorial Quilt
Location: National project; stewardship transferred from the NAMES Project in Halifax to the Canadian AIDS Society in Ottawa
The AIDS Memorial Quilt was conceived of in San Francisco in 1985. The first time it was displayed—in October 1987 in Washington, DC's national park, the National Mall—its 1,920 panels covered an area larger than a football field. This inspired an outpouring of interest and support and led 35 countries to create their own quilts. Today, the combined quilts form the largest community art project in the world.
The Canadian AIDS Memorial Quilt was born in 1989. It now consists of more than 600 3 × 6-foot panels, each one stitched in memory of someone who has died of an AIDS-related illness. Groups of eight panels are sewn together to form 12 × 12-foot sections. When displayed in its entirety, the Canadian quilt takes up more than 18,000 square feet, honouring the lives of those who died while also drawing attention to the scale of the epidemic. The colourful designs and loving personal messages pay tribute to people young and old, from every walk of life and all parts of the country. The quilt evokes powerful emotional responses from those who see it.
The Canadian panels can all be viewed online at www.quilt.ca. The site also describes how you can create and contribute a panel of your own.
We would like to acknowledge the countless ways that people in cities, towns and rural areas across the country have memorialized their loved ones who have died as a result of HIV/AIDS. If you have a photo or story of a memorial that you would like us to post online, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
In recent years, people have also created online memorials to pay tribute to their lovers, friends and family members. www.aidsmemorial.info is a catalogue of permanent memorials, digital memorials and ceremonies from around the world.

Crossed out? Whitehead backs challenge to VA law
WASHINGTON– The Supreme Court is considering whether cross burning is illegal intimidation or a free-speech right in a First Amendment case that could overturn state laws passed to discourage the Ku Klux Klan from targeting blacks.
The justices have been protective of the free-speech rights of the most controversial of groups, including flag-burners, adult entertainers, people who display swastikas, and those who set crosses ablaze.
Virginia is defending its cross-burning law, passed 50 years ago in reaction to Klan intimidation of blacks. In separate cases, three white men were prosecuted for lighting crosses during a Klan rally and in the yard of a black family in Virginia Beach.
The Virginia Supreme Court overturned the convictions of the men, ruling that the burnings were symbolic speech.
The state court relied on a high court decision a decade ago in another cross-burning case. The Supreme Court struck down a city hate crimes ordinance in St. Paul, Minnesota, that criminalized cross-burning aimed at frightening or angering others "on the basis of race, color, creed or gender.'' Virginia's law prohibits the activity when done to intimidate a person or group.
Justices heard arguments in the case Wednesday, December 11.
More than a dozen states have cross-burning laws. A ruling against Virginia could block most of them.
The arguments come four years after two white neighbors in Virginia Beach tried to burn a four-foot cross in the yard of James Jubilee, who is black. Jubilee moved his family out of the neighborhood.
In the other case, a Pennsylvania man was convicted of burning a 30-foot cross on private land in rural southern Virginia during a 1998 rally.
The Virginia law applies to cross burning on public or private land.
"Government needs to be able to protect people from those kinds of threats,'' said Kent Scheidegger, attorney for the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, one of a number of groups that have taken sides in the case. That group backs Virginia.
John Whitehead, president of the generally conservative Rutherford Institute, said in court filings that states may not limit controversial speech just because of concerns about the public reaction to that speech.
The Bush administration, siding with Virginia, argued that cross burning "has a particularly strong association with acts of vigilantism and violence.''
"A person has no First Amendment right to burn a cross in order to intimidate others, whether or not he also intends to express an idea or philosophy,'' Solicitor General Theodore Olson told justices in court papers.
Virginia has passed a new version of the law intended to get around free speech concerns. The new law makes it a crime to burn anything, including a cross, as a threatening symbol. The case is Virginia v. Black, 01-1107.
