Linda Blair starred in the film dramatization, but the real-life story involved a boy (Warner Bros/Everett)
Really, though, it doesn't look a day over 20.
Director William Friedkin's classic horror film "The Exorcist" had its New York City premiere on June 19, 1973, staking its claim in the pop culture consciousness (with a sledgehammer) and changing the face of horror cinema forever. The story of a young girl, Regan (Linda Blair), possessed by a vulgar yet devilishly clever demon who makes for quite the wake-up call for a young priest (Jason Miller) wrestling with a crisis of faith became notorious for reports of audience members fainting from fright ... and for becoming an instantly quotable cult favorite thanks to Regan's rather colorful turns of phrase whilst under the influence of pure foul-mouthed evil.

Holiday shoppers beware: not all gift cards are created equal.
Depending on the type of gift card you buy, you could end up paying $25 or more in purchase and shipping fees -- and that's before the maintenance fees kick in.
Bank-issued cards tend to be the biggest culprits, according to a November survey conducted by Bankrate. While all eight of the popular general-purpose gift cards offered by banks and credit card companies charged purchase fees, only five of 55 retail gift cards Bankrate surveyed charged them.
Purchase fees averaged $4.50 per card. American Express and U.S. Bank Visa cards were the worst offenders, with purchase fees as high as $6.95.
And while federal law now prevents all gift cards from expiring within 5 years of purchase, general purpose cards are more likely to charge so-called "maintenance" or "dormancy" fees, monthly charges that can reduce the card's remaining balance long before the five years are up. By law, these fees can't kick in until at least 12 months after purchase.
If you receive a $25 Chase Visa gift card that goes unused for 18 months, for example, six months of $2.50 monthly maintenance charges would drop the card's balance to $10. Within two years, the balance would be entirely gone.
"The biggest tip we could ever give is use them before you lose them," said Bill Hardekopf, chief executive officer of credit information site lowcards.com.
Of the retail, restaurant, travel and gas gift cards Bankrate surveyed, only one company — Pilot Travel Center — charged maintenance fees. That contrasts with six out of eight of the general purpose cards surveyed, which charged between $2.50 and $3 a month.
Consumers should also look out for exorbitant shipping fees associated with some online card purchases. With shipping charges ranging from $13.50 to $27.50, Shell gas cards had the highest average delivery cost of all cards surveyed. US Airways came in second with $15 two-day delivery as the only shipping option.
Shell's shipping fees -- which are applied if customers buy online instead of at Shell gas stations or certain grocery stores -- go toward a courier service, as well as fraud protection, said Shell spokeswoman Kimberly Windon.

story by: nikki carlson
pages design by: stacy mantle
The day before Jerry Malkuch was to leave for London, terrorists blew up three subway cars and a double-decker bus in the historical city. He saw photos of bloodied, bandaged faces that were part of the tragic aftermath of the July 7 bombings there.
He had planned to take a group of 13 adults and children to London. He didn't want to put the group in a situation that resembled his experience during 9/11.
"I was in a panic state and I wasn't going to go. I didn't want to put them into the jaws of the lion," he said. "I was in the air on 9/11 when the first tower was hit. I was on my way to Atlanta, Georgia, from Great Falls, and my plane landed in Salt Lake City, Utah. It took me two days of hitchhiking and riding buses to get back to my car at the airport in Great Falls."
Malkuch, 56, talked to Gerry Veis, who was going with Malkuch to London, about his concerns. Veis calmed Malkuch down enough not to cancel the trip.
Imagine if the group of 13 people from Havre and one from Medicine Hat, Alberta, would've arrived in London one day sooner, they would've been in the midst of the terrorist attacks that rattled London's streets.
One would think the city would've shut down or at least taken a break from daily life. Veis said that was not the case.
"Unless you would've read the media or watched the TV, you wouldn't have even known anything had happened," he said.
The threat of terrorism or just about anything else also isn't enough to stop Malkuch.
Since the 1970s, he has traveled to 200 countries. He has been in the middle of gunfire, held the guitar played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, and handed out Easter eggs to people on a train in China.
Traveling is a passion for Malkuch, and he urges people to pursue it in a certain way. For instance, the only reservations made for the European trip were the airplane tickets and the first night's stays in London and Paris.
Travel, Malkuch said, consists of three things - anticipation, preparation and realization. If one of those elements is missing, then the trip will not be satisfying in the end.
"I know that if I was stone broke, if I quit my job tomorrow, I would start to work again to get ready to go. Go see and do the wild and crazy things," he said. "Live your life every day like you're going to die tomorrow ... wild, crazy, fun and free.
"That's why you have to go now," he added. "You will never be better, faster or richer than you are right now. So go while you can."
Malkuch and his group of 13 adults and children boarded a nine-hour flight to London on July 7 for a European vacation. The third morning was spent in Paris, where there was a bomb attack on the subway. They stayed in Europe until July 19, two days before the failed bomb attack on London's mass transit system.
Veis, who was accompanied by his wife and two children, said he wasn't worried about taking his family to a country on high alert.
"It was very high security over there. But you really didn't even notice that anything had happened. They were going 100 miles per hour, and it was like nothing had happened."
During the two-week trip, they visited landmarks like Piccadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace and the Hard Rock Cafe in London, and the Sacr Coeur Basilica and Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Malkuch's favorite place was Paris.
"It's the city of light. It is the city of romance and art," he said.
Halfway through the trip, the group split up. One group went to St. Andrews in Scotland to see the British Open. They stood a few feet from Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, who went on the win the championship. They watched as Nicklaus stopped atop of the Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole to say a final farewell to the British Open.
"Gerry Veis loves (golf) with a passion. He plays it barefoot and bare-headed out there on the course," Malkuch said.
They also toured Amsterdam; Aberdeen, Scotland; and Newcastle, Oxford and Birmingham, England.
The other group toured Northern Italy.
"I did things on this trip that I had never done before," said Dave Hamilton, who was accompanied by family members. "I would go again."
Others in the group also gave the trip rave reviews.
"It was a wonderful opportunity. It was great because I got to spend it with my daughter," said Sherry Stone, who traveled with her 17-year-old daughter, Becka.
"It was fabulous," said Deb Hamilton, who went with her boyfriend, Craig Rundle. "It was the most awesome thing I had ever done in my life."
Malkuch has gotten other people to travel with him since 1989, but this was the largest group so far. Traveling partners said his vast experience allowed them to substantially reduce their traveling costs.
Deb Hamilton said the reason Malkuch wanted them to go with him overseas was to share his passion for travel.
"He's been traveling all of his life," she said. "He wanted to show everybody how easy it is."
The Havre railroad worker's love for travel began in 1976 when he went with a group of Montana State University-Northern professors and students on a two-week European study tour.
"The people that went were meant to go," Malkuch said. "The young people - I was really proud of them and I'm glad that they were able to go. Now everyone knows they can go on their own and they'll be OK."

Darn straight I'm pumped. This is the first time in years that I'm actually confident that we're going to see some positive things this summer, no matter what happens.
I forgot to wear my Piston watch Saturday, so I will take some blame too. In fact I better go put it now so I will have it ready...
the crowd rarely, rarely ever boos the pistons. it was booing after not securing rebounds, not playing defense, and not showing effort. pistons fans only wave when they're up by 20 or so and bored, standing ovation would never happen (ovation for what??) and there's plenty of songs and noise pumping throughout the game. simply put, no effort = no cheering :(
Encouragement is what was needed I guess. How about showing Sheed's "we're bacccckk" video at the start of the second half and then standing and cheering to show some encouragement??
the "we're baaaack" was at the start of the game, and believe me it was ROCKING in there...i'm still not sure how the 11-0 start happened. as for the 2nd half, unfortunately there's so much to do around the palace that a lot of the people don't get back to their seats until halfway through the 3rd quarter :/
I thought you were going to tonights game and had already left?? Are you sending this via your Blackberry or laptop?
He does. His name is Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. I was seriously about to post the exact same sentiment. Cloud, I think you are making a lot of sense. I agree with what you've been saying, but with a pinch less Schadenfreude. I do have to say, though, that you are a HUGE asset to this forum.

"Give me a ride or I'll vote for Hoover," demanded the sign.
This unidentified man was a foot soldier of a desperate army intent on occupying the nation's capital to demand help from President Herbert Hoover and Congress.
He and thousands of others were known as the "Bonus Army," a ragtag group of mostly World War I veterans who went to Washington, D.C., seeking relief during some of the darkest days of the Great Depression.
These men encamped in Washington for a couple of months before being violently removed, having achieved very little from their hardship.
By 1932, with the nation brought to a standstill by the Depression, World War I vets started the Bonus Campaign to collect a cash bonus promised to them during better times.
This bonus, based on their rank and time spent in service during the war, was not due to be paid vets until 1945. Thousands, mostly without jobs, came to Washington hoping to convince elected officials the money was needed immediately.
On June 10, 1932, with a large number of men already camped in Washington, a Southern California contingent of Bonus marchers left Los Angeles and passed through Ontario before camping the night in San Bernardino.
About 1,000 to 2,000 strong, "Piled in trucks, in passenger cars, and in vehicles no longer qualifying as either, the tatterdemalion army struck
It was not until about 9 p.m. that the end of the long parade of veterans passed through town, heading east.
"Clad in overalls, cast-off uniforms and civilian clothes; jobless but hopeful, and fired with a spirit of self-righteousness mingled with the thrill of a vacation trip, no matter how tawdry, they pushed across Euclid Avenue on the first lap of a peace-time offensive against a so-far militant Congress," wrote the newspaper.
Almost two weeks later, a second group of Bonus marchers left Los Angeles in 40 autos and trucks and spent their first night in Ontario. About 220 men and family members were allowed to camp at the ball field of Fourth Street Park - today's John Galvin Park - on the night of June 22.
The group included a theatrical troupe which performed to an audience of local residents to raise money for the cost of food and fuel for the march.
At the park, some of the marchers slept in vehicles or a few tents, but most of them slept outside on the ground.
E.O. Voigt, commander of this second group, said the "army" would be governed according to military code, and radicalism or panhandling would not be tolerated.
The plan of this second group was to work its way to Chicago where the Democrats were to hold their presidential convention (and nominate eventual winner Franklin D. Roosevelt).
Late the next afternoon, they moved on to San Bernardino.
As near as can be determined through incomplete news accounts, it doesn't appear that many, if any, of the Southern California Bonus marchers actually made it to Washington.
The first group worked its way to El Centro, Yuma and Phoenix, when grumbling began among participants and a number were ordered to leave. March Commander Royal W. Robertson blamed the problem on "deadheads" and others who weren't actually veterans.
By early July, the group had reached Dallas. It was here that many decided to give up and headed back to California, though some reportedly pressed on to Washington.
The second group spent a couple days in San Bernardino and reached Flagstaff, Ariz., at the end of June.
Those who did reach Washington lived in a shantytown of perhaps 15,000 discouraged veterans who had watched as the House of Representatives approved a bill to pay at least part of the bonus early, only to have the Senate vote it down.
Finally, on July 28, Hoover ordered the veterans removed by the Army, under the direction of Chief of Staff Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Ignoring Hoover's orders to show restraint, MacArthur demonstrated little mercy in routing the veterans, with at least one of the group being killed.
Two other future distinguished World War II leaders were involved in clearing out the veterans: MacArthur's assistant, Maj. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, Maj. George S. Patton.

Can We Make Metro Atlanta Schools Safer?
Patch Question of the Week: After Newtown, do you feel safe sending your kids to school?
It's the issue that's on many people's minds: could the horror that visited Newtown last week happen here? Are our schools safe from such violence? And what can we do - if anything at all - to make them safer? Metro Atlanta schools rushed to reassure parents that their systems are prepared in the event of an emergency. APS Superintendent Dr. Erroll Davis said city of Atlanta schools have implemented safety drills and other procedures that are designed to protect their students. Nonetheless, he asked parents to always remain vigilant and alert school officials if they see something suspicious. DeKalb County schools also have a system in place for notifying parents, locking down schools and having law enforcement and school officials on …

Cellar/Tasting Notes ... Layers of dark red fruit, flowers and spices caress the palate in this supple, radiant wine. This shows lovely mid-palate presence and plenty of depth within the context of the vintage. This is another gorgeous set of wines from Philippe Collotte ...
Cellar/Tasting Notes A young and fruity wine, with aromas of red fruits and cherries, with a delicate structure and soft tannins.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Thomas Picot is quickly becoming a star in the new wave of Chablis Producers. His wines are both natural and innovative yet also show the classic terroir of this famous region.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The colour of the 2011 Clos du Roy is intense. The bouquet is open, reminiscentof wild blackberries,dried prunes and blackcurrent. As the wine matures, musky musky scents will be prominent on the nose. It is quite tannic but also supple. The Marsannay Clos du Roy will match very well..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright notes of green apple and citrus oil seem to pop from the glass. Nice minerality and acidity lead to a lingering creamy finish. From shellfish to grilled chicken or just as a great sipper before dinner, drink now and for the next 5 years.

You may have noticed countless bright yellow flowers recently along the side of the road. Taking a closer look, they sort of resemble dandelions, but they're not. Terry Ettinger explains what they actually are.

Do You Expect the World to End on Dec. 21, 2012?
With end of the Maya's "long count" calendar set for Dec. 21, there have been predictions about the world coming to an end. Will you be having an End of the World Party on Dec. 21 or do you still expect to be around the next day.
There are reportedly many parties planned for Dec. 20 or 21 this year, just in case. With the "long count" calendar of the Ancient Mayans coming to an end that day, some people are a little pessimistic about any calendar continuing past that date.
Experts on the matter, however, say we've got nothing to worry about. According to an article on nbcnews.com, "Experts estimate the system starts counting at 3114 B.C., and will have run through 13 baktuns, or 5,125 years, around Dec. 21. Experts say 13 was a significant number for the Maya, and the end of that cycle would be a milestone — but not an end."
Some people believe the Maya may have predicted "impending astronomical disasters that would coincide with 2012, ranging from explosive storms on the surface of the sun that could knock out power grids to a galactic alignment that could trigger a reversal in Earth's magnetic field."
But according to the article, that is not the case. In fact Mayan predictions go way past our present-day, indicating that they expected a future to come even after their long count calendar came to an end.
There have been several predictions of the end of the world, including the May 21, 2011 biblical prediction by then 89-year-old old "minister" Howard Camping. At that time, Patch columnist Ben Cathey made his own prediction that it would not come to pass. Indeed he was right. On May 22, 2011, the sun rose just as surely as it had the day before.
So what do you think about the predictions of the world ending on Dec. 21, 2012? Will it just be another normal day for you or are you planning an End of the World celebration, just in case?

Ah Ed, then I know at least you and I will be around on Dec. 22. I still expect to be here too!

I expect another day to come... I think that I'll side w/archaeologists in saying that the Maya were attracted to astronomical events. So accordingly on December 21, 2012 maybe it's just about the Winter Solstice. For anyone interested in a little background, the Maya believe in "cycles" that happen... saying we're going through a change that will affect all humanity, and the world in ways that are unexplainable. (I don't know if that means 12-21-12, and I don't know exactly what changes they meant) Really nothing to fear, but something in my opinion to be researched. They were a very fascinating culture regardless of this doomsday talk.

Ya know, we lost our f-t income a month ago and are barely getting by paying mortgage on p-t we have found..SO, I really have bigger issues to worry about, like whether or not my kids will have anythng for Christmas this year. This is probably the 5th time in MY life the world is suppse to end. I only think one entity knows when that is and don't believe he bases things on a mayan clandar. I really had forgotten about it until thsi popped up on the Patch today. If anyone needs a good mantenenace man or someone who has a Business degree and has experience in adverising, spreadshets, databases, runnng an office/business and programming, emailme if you plan to still need someone after Dec 21st. b/c we will still be looking for jobs :-) email@example.com

I can not tell you how many times the world was supposed to end at this point. My science teacher said it would end in the late 70's because all the polar caps would melt and we would all be under water. The head of the Jehovah Witness organization has had it ending at least twice. The big Y2K where people were stocking up on water and waiting for all the computers to crash sending us back into the dark ages - nope didn't happen.
I'm a Christian, God says it will come like a thief in the night. So no one knows when the world will end. Not going to give it a second thought.

Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a popular belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will go to the next b'ak'tun, at Long Count 188.8.131.52.0. The date on which the calendar will go to the next piktun (a complete series of 20 b'ak'tuns), at Long Count 126.96.36.199.0.0, will be on October 13, 4772.
Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research organization Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI), notes that "for the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle". She considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

RE: Digicel Tapastry Competition artwork - these are close ups of the pieces submitted.
Digicel Tapestry Competition.
The artworks in this post are the different drafts I did before submitting my artwork to the contest held earlier this year (2012) by Digicel Jamaica.
The purpose of the contest was to find suitable ideas and artwork for tapestry to be mounted at the Digicel HQ in Downtown Kingston Jamaica.
I recieved the first place top prize for my design.
The artwork that won is highlighted in the caption.
Unfortunately the artwork will not be used due to the intricate details. It would not be appreciated at the larger than life size they wanted it for. I beleive they are going in a different direction.

More About Danon Jewellery
Danon jewellery was first created by Josef Danon in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1975. From a small family run workshop they have gained popularity and their jewellery is now in demand all over the world. They specialise in only one thing: creating jewellery and gifts that people desire.
Still manufactured in Israel by the Danon family, their attention to detail and design is what makes their jewellery so unique and sought after. As well as being stylish, eye catching and exciting, their designs are extremely wearable and also very affordable - Proof that first rate craftsmanship need not cost the earth.
Danon jewellery is synonymous with in demand design as well as quality that is simply exquisite. They have over the years created collections that as well as using the very latest and most current manufacturing processes, have all been hand finished to give each piece that uniqueness that we have all come to associate with Danon Jewellery.
Danon are constantly searching for new and revolutionary influences and inspiration for their designs and this can be seen in all of their collections, some of which feature semi-precious gems, Fresh-Water Pearls, Swarovski crystals and leather.
Josef and his team at Danon still remain true to their roots and that being the case, all Danon items are handcrafted and finished locally in Israel by their skilled artisans ensuring each that every piece enjoys the same high quality finish as the last.
Danon jewellery is manufactured with pewter and zinc as the base metals and then plated with gold, silver, or bronze, all of which provide a totally different look to pieces that are based on the same classic designs.
Danon's collections include their signature "Heart Charm" jewellery featuring rings, necklaces, bangles, bracelets and earrings as well as other ranges that have evolved such as their "Star Charm" and "Daisy Charm" themed jewellery. They also produce a sensational range of Fresh-Water Pearl jewellery, all of which encompasses designs and themse from all of their other collections.
If we were forced to pick a favourite amongst all of our designers, then Danon might be it. Their designs are stunning, as well as popular, but every single piece is unique due to the design and manufacturing tolerances, so we'd say if you can only afford one piece of jewellery this season, then it has to be Danon!
As the official stockists we pride ourselves on being the UK specialist when it comes to Danon Jewellery, so if you need help choosing a piece as a gift for a loved one or even for yourself, or perhaps you've seen an item else where and wondered if we stocked it....or maybe you just have a question you would like to ask us about Danon jewellery.. then please see our contact page and we will be more than happy to get back to you as soon as possible.

I am a young entrepreneur looking to start a recruiment business to specailise in the retail sector as that is my strongest area.
The only problem is that im not to sure where to start so i was looking for either a male or female mentor that has worked in within the recruitment sector or opened up there own business to mentor/ show me the ropes of things from how to start buliding a database of clinets to closing deals and getting people jobs. I am a determined young man with a passion to start and put 110% in to make this work. Ive been doing alot of research of staring up and agency but there is only so must i can do/learn by my self hence the add.
Please send me a message if you are willing to help/ even work along side me (potentially create a partnership) if we are on the same wave length, even any other entrepreneurs looking to do the same thing?
Lets talk business!!
Hi Pam,
Love your detail explanation. Thanks.
Hi Cindy,
Sure. Today's actually a good day as it's fairly quiet because of the holiday. You can reach me on my office line, 508 746-1427.
Thank you for all your wonderful insight. I'm hoping I could give you call and pick your brain some if that is ok?
Hi Cindy,
Congratulations! It's an exciting decision. It's one I made about 8 years ago, after 10 years with the same search firm, and I only wish I'd done it sooner. After that many years, even though you know you want to do it, it's still difficult to leave.
But, here's how I did it:
I actually moved about a year before I went on my own, and cut my monthly rent payment in half. I kept my expenses low, figuring on at least six months before I'd see commission. I knew, because I'd been in commission sales before recruiting, that you want to set yourself up for success and having high financial stress is not the way to do it.
So, when I went on my own I started out of my house. I had about six months of savings. Initial expenses were:
ATS system. I went with cbizsoft which is about $70 a month.
Good, reliable computer. Back then I had a pc....if I were starting over now, I'd get a Mac for sure.
Good phone service (this has come way down in price, and you could even just start with your cell--smartphone is a must, having access to your email on the go is a life-saver).
I'd invest in some ongoing training as well. Mike Gionta has a great owner's monthly Q and A and recorded trainings that are super and the questions asked are all from owners like yourself, really helpful and only $50 a month. I also subscribed to www.accordingtodanny.com and www.nextlevelexchange.com You don't need all three though, I'd suggest Mike and either danny or Next level, they both run about $99 a month and you can do free trials I think to check them out.
One of the keys to my success when I started out was establishing a small network of fellow recruiters to do splits with. This way you are not all alone doing this, and it can get you off to a much quicker start billing. I think it's important to know and trust the people you do splits with. I investigated some of the big splits networks, but heard a few horror stories that made me back away quickly, such as a friend who posted a search and then her contact told her that within a day a half a dozen random recruiters called her client to try and steal the job order. You don't want to have to worry about that. Start with a few people you trust. For me it was people I used to work with who had also gone on their own and a few other people I met through others.
Initially, your focus will be on getting clients. All you need are a few good clients and good job orders. You may also want to investigate www.bountyjobs.com as a possible job order source, although I wouldn't put a lot of time or effort there, more like a backup place for candidates you don't have jobs for.
The best piece of advice I can give you, is to work harder than you ever have to get your business going. When I started, I was determined to make a placement my first month and I made sure that happened by starting every day between 6 and 7 and going non-stop all day and into the evening. The more you put into your business the more you will get out of it.
Get a website up, you can do this for almost nothing. I just put a site up for my brother a few weeks ago and spend $13. I used weebly and did it in an afternoon, they make it very easy. Buy your domain through godaddy instead of weebly though, it's much cheaper. Take a look at my brother's site to give you an idea....basic but it's all you need to start with. If you're more advanced at this stuff, you can do a lot with Wordpress, etc. www.toplineplumbingwa.com
For candidate sourcing, LinkedIn is a great inexpensive option, depending on the jobs, craigslist can be good. There's always the boards like Monster, or Dice, but you don't really need them and they are expensive.
I'd also suggesting joining some local networking groups, to get out and about and make good contacts.
Feel free to ping me directly if you have any questions. And good luck!
I'm looking to start my own business. I have been on the agency side for 13 years and I'm tired of giving the company all of my hard earned money. Anyone of have suggestions or advice on how I should start or what I should be doing?

In support of alumna Jessica Bongiovanni, who three months ago learned that she has a rare form of bone cancer, the Association of Chemistry Graduate Students is hosting a pie-throwing fundraiser – the "Pie Your Chemistry Professor or Lab TA" event – in the West Quad area on Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 12:30 to 3:30 PM.
Bongiovanni, who is 25, has osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of cancer which affects about 400 people a year across the United States. She learned of her cancer just ten weeks before her wedding, which has been postponed. She has been undergoing intense chemotherapy and her right leg has been amputated.
Jessica received her master's degree in chemistry from UNC Charlotte in summer, 2011 and was one of four recipients of McKernan Research Scholarships from the Carolina Chemical Club in 2011. She continued in a Ph.D. program at Princeton University. Money raised will be placed in a trust fund that was created by her family to help her pay for rising medical bills, her prosthetic leg, a wheelchair ramp and daily living expenses. Her blog has more information.
The West Quad area is near the Barnhardt Student Activity Center, Cone University Center and visitors' parking deck. All pie throws will cost $1, and donations will be accepted. Plastic bags will be available to protect clothing. The event poster is available here.
CHEM 3111 labs begin Wednesday, January 9th, 2013. All other Chemistry labs will begin the week of January 14th.
Please remember you MUST have your lab manual, safety glasses and proper attire to attend Chemistry labs.

Veggie Power! Making Batteries from Fruits and Vegetables
Did you know that you can get electricity out of a potato? In this project you will learn how to build a simple battery using a variety of different fruits and vegetables — REALLY! You will be able to figure out things like: How many lemons does it take to turn on a light bulb? Does an orange make a better battery than a potato? Can you use each segment of a grapefruit to make a super-grapefruit battery? You will also learn some of the basics of electricity and circuits: What is voltage? What is current? What is resistance? How much power can you get out of a veggie battery? Does an orange battery run out of "juice"? So, do a little produce shopping and then learn about batteries and electricity.Objective

Batteries are like mini power plants that derive electrical energy from chemical reactions. You can make batteries with some pretty simple everyday materials. In general, all you need are:
- Two different kinds of metal to act as electrodes (though not just any kind of metals will work),
- A liquid solution, called the electrolyte, which will react chemically with the metal electrodes, and
- A way to conduct the electricity from the metal electrodes to something that uses the energy provided by the battery.
Different kinds of batteries have different characteristics. Some produce different voltages than others—like a flashlight battery at 1.5 volts and a car battery that is typically about 12 volts. Some can deliver a lot of current, and some will deliver less current. You will learn more about voltage and current as you work on this project, but as you might already know, some things will not work at all unless the battery can provide a high enough voltage. Once this voltage is applied some things will draw more current from the battery than others. Current is a measure of how many electrons are flowing per second. The more electrons that flow per second (or the higher the current) the faster the battery will discharge. Also, if the item that you are trying to power with the battery tries to draw two much current, then the voltage of the battery will drop and the item might not work.
Many batteries are made up of more than one battery cell, also called a voltaic cell. When these voltaic cells are hooked up in series (see Figure 1, below), the voltage of the battery becomes the sum of the voltages provided by each cell. Car batteries typically have six cells, each producing about 2 volts (V), which added together create a 12-volt battery. (This is why you see six little caps on most car batteries, allowing you to add water to each of the six cells.) The battery in Figure 1, below, is made up of 4 1.5 V cells in series, producing 6 V total.
If a battery or a voltaic cell does not provide enough current, you can connect a number of batteries or cells together in parallel (see Figure 2 below). This keeps the total voltage the same, but now the total current is the sum of the currents from each of the cells. Another reason to connect more cells or batteries together in parallel is that batteries in parallel will power an item for a longer time before discharging. You will learn more about these concepts as you work on this project.
Probably one of the most interesting things about batteries is the way that different materials and how they are used affect the characteristics of the battery, such as the battery's output voltage and current. They can also affect something called the internal resistance of the battery. A battery cell made with a potato might provide a different amount of current than a battery cell made with a lemon or an onion. Battery cells made with different electrode materials, like copper, nickel, or zinc might produce different voltages. Batteries with different electrode shapes or surface areas might have different internal resistances. You will learn that the way the battery cells are made and connected with each other will determine if you can generate enough voltage and current to power an electrical load, like a portable radio, a digital clock, or whatever small electronic device you choose to try.
So, go to the grocery store, buy some fruits and vegetables and then have some fun!

Materials and Equipment
Supplies for this project are available in one convenient kit from the Science Buddies Store
Here some basic materials that can be used. However, you should use your imagination and try some others.
- Electrodes: The easiest electrode materials to use with vegetable and fruit batteries are probably zinc-coated
nails and copper wires. Nails are easy because you can just stick them into the
fruit. It is also possible to push coins into some vegetables, like a potato.
- Zinc-coated ("galvanized") nails, ~3 inches long (20), available at almost any hardware store, where they are usually referred to as galvanized nails
- 12 gauge, bare copper wire (3 feet of wire, cut into 3 inch segments)
- Note: You can also use small strips of galvanized sheet metal and copper sheet metal (cut with tinsnips into ½ inch by 3 inch rectangles). These will make even better electrodes than the galvanized nails and copper wire!
- 10-20 jumper leads (with alligator clips).
- Note: In many cases you can use the alligator clips to connect the battery terminals to an electronic device you would like to power with your veggie battery. If you need additional connector(s) for your electronic devices, Radio Shack is a good place to look for them.
- Potatoes (2)
- Note: Even though the following directions are written for a potato, you could follow the same steps with other fruits and vegetables, like citrus fruits, onions, or any other type of produce you would like to try. You will probably need more than one of each fruit or vegetable. In some cases, you can cut your produce into multiple pieces to make more than one voltaic cell.
- Various loads to hook up to the batteries:
- Resistors, 10 kohm (2)
- Other loads, like battery-operated timers, calculators, low power buzzers, 3-volt radios, etc. It is best to look for items that run at 3 volts or less and draw less than 0.5 mA (500 μA). These will be things that run on small watch-like batteries. It is best to use only things that you are willing to destroy in the process. Some things, like the buzzer mentioned above, will work "partially." The buzzer works; it just is not very loud.
- Science Buddies Kit: The kit includes an assortment of resistors, a small calculator, and a stop watch to use as loads for your fruit or veggie battery.
- Tools:
- Voltmeter or multimeter
- Note: If you do not have a multimeter or cannot borrow one, you can buy one at electronics stores, hardware stores, or online retailers like Amazon.com. They range in price from about $14 to several hundred dollars; the lower-priced meters work well for this experiment. You can get analog or digital meters. For this project, we recommend a digital multimeter. If you choose an analog multimeter, select one that has a high ohms/volts rating (> 1000 ohms/volt). The ohms/volt rating is usually printed somewhere near the scale or in the instruction manual. In general, look for a meter that will measure volts and resistance. If you can find a meter that measures current on a 200 μA scale this could be useful, but it is not really necessary. In general, the price starts to go up as you look for meters that can measure smaller amounts of current.

Safety note: Do not eat the fruit or vegetables that have been used to make batteries!
To get you started, here are two simple experimental procedures to make one- and two-cell batteries. You will see how to increase the available voltage by connecting individual cells in series. There are many more ideas in the Variations section (below) to get you thinking about experiments you can design for yourself.
Experiment 1
How much voltage can be generated using a potato cell with zinc and copper electrodes? How does the voltage change as you hook up different loads (values of resistance) across the terminals of the potato battery?
- Create a voltaic cell by poking one zinc (galvanized) nail and one 3 inch piece of copper wire into each end of a potato. The buried ends of the electrodes can actually be pretty close together (maybe an inch apart), but they should not touch each other. The battery will work best if the nails and copper wire are parallel to one other. The zinc nail will become the "-" or negative terminal of the battery (also called the anode) and the copper wire will become the "+" or positive terminal of the battery (also called the cathode).
- Hook up the voltmeter or multimeter across this voltaic cell by connecting the "+" terminal of the voltmeter or multimeter to the copper wire and the "-" or "common" terminal to the zinc nail.
- Troubleshooting Tip: Leaving the multimeter connected to your veggie battery for several minutes can "drain" your battery, so make sure to disconnect the multimeter from the battery after making each of your measurements.
- Measure and record the voltage. This voltage is referred to as the open circuit voltage, because this is the voltage present when nothing is connected across the terminals of the battery-the circuit is "open". (For more information on using a multimeter, see the Science Buddies page How to Measure Voltage and Current.)
- While leaving the voltmeter or multimeter connected across the battery, use the alligator clips to connect a 10 kohm resistor across the battery terminals. Record the voltage.
- While leaving the first resistor in place, use more alligator clips to connect another 10 kohm resistor across the battery. Record the voltage.
You will notice that the voltage dropped as you connected the loads (the resistors) across the battery. This is because current is being drawn through each of the resistors and through the internal resistance of the battery. For this simple "veggie" battery cell, the internal resistance is pretty high, so a noticeable portion of the battery cell's voltage is dropped across its internal resistance. This in turn reduces the amount of voltage that you measure at the terminals of the battery.
Experiment 2
How much voltage can be generated using two zinc-copper voltaic potato cells hooked up in series? Can this be used to power something like a calculator or a low-voltage (ear-plug) transistor radio?
- Create two separate veggie battery cells following the same procedure you used in Experiment 1, step 1, above. If you are using large potatoes, you can cut them into pieces and then use each piece as a separate cell.
- Measure and record the open-circuit voltage of each of the cells.
- Using alligator clip leads, hook these two cells up in series to make a two-cell battery. (Note: Figure 1 in the Introduction shows how to connect cells in series.)
- Measure and record the open-circuit voltage of the two-cell battery.
You should find that each individual cell has an open-circuit voltage of about 0.75 volts. When you connect the cells in series and measure the open-circuit voltage of the two-cell battery you should measure about 1.5 volts (maybe a little less). Now, this is a battery that you can actually use to power any electronic device that is designed to operate at about 1.5 volts and that does not draw too much current. You will find that this means it will probably only power up things that will run on small watch-sized or calculator-sized batteries.
On Your Own
Working with veggie batteries is a lot more fun and interesting if they actually do something! Try powering up a calculator (see Figure 3, below) or maybe a small buzzer or low-voltage transistor radio.
- Science Buddies Kit: The kit includes a small calculator that can be powered using your veggie battery. See Figure 3, Figure 4, and the directions below.
Figure 3. Running an electronic calculator on veggie power! This is an illustration of a multi-cell veggie-power battery, described in Experiment 2, above. |
- Science Buddies Kit: To use your veggie battery to power the calculator in the kit, you will need to remove the back of the calculator by taking out the four screws that connect the back of the calculator to the front of the calculator. Then remove the calculator's battery, but leave the wiring of the calculator intact.
As you can see in Figure 3, above, you will need three pairs of alligator clip jumper cables: Cable #1 connects the copper wire in potato A to the galvanized nail in potato B, #2 connects the copper wire in potato B to the positive battery terminal of the calculator, and #3 connects the galvanized nail in potato A to the negative battery terminal of the calculator. Figure 4, below, shows where the alligator clips from potatoes A and B connect to the battery terminals of the calculator.
Figure 4. If you are using the Science Buddies kit for this project, connect your veggie battery to the calculator by connecting alligator clips 2 and 3 (from Figure 3) as shown here. |
There are even talking greeting cards that you might be able to find and power with your veggie battery. You might need to get some help opening up the back of the calculator or other device and getting wires attached to the electrodes that normally hold the battery. (If you find that you need to solder a connector, the Science Buddies resource Electronics Primer: How to Solder Electronic Components has some helpful tips on using a soldering iron and making good, lasting connections between electrical components.) See the Variations section (below) for more ideas to get you thinking about experiments you can design for yourself.
Troubleshooting the Veggie Power Circuit
Sometimes, in hands-on projects like this one for making a veggie battery, something happens and you cannot explain why. Or, you were expecting something to happen and it did not. In both of these cases, you will have to troubleshoot what you have put together in order to figure out how to fix it. Here is a list of things to think about when troubleshooting this particular electrical circuit.
- Clean electrodes work better than dirty ones, and copper forms an oxide layer that can prevent accurate electrical measurement. Try scrubbing the electrodes with a Scotch-Brite pad to clean the electrodes and remove the unwanted oxide layer.
- Clean and dry the fruit or vegetable prior to use.
- Make sure that the electrodes are completely inserted into the fruit or vegetable and do not touch.
- Place the electrodes an inch apart, and place them so they are parallel to each other.
- If you are trying to power a device, use a multimeter (for tips on using one, read
Science Buddies'
Electronics Primer: Using a Multimeter)
to measure both the voltage and the current the device needs. Make sure your veggie battery circuit can supply enough voltage and current.
- To increase the amount of voltage supplied by the veggie battery, connect the vegetable or fruit cells in series mode. See Figure 3 to understand how to connect the cells in a series correctly. Notice that the copper wire of the first cell (labeled "A") is connected to the nail of the second cell (labeled "B"). In this case, there is one path for current flow, and that is from one cell through the other.
- To increase the amount of current supplied by the veggie battery, connect the vegetable or fruit cells in parallel mode. See Figure 5, below, to understand how to connect the cells in parallel correctly. The copper electrodes are all connected, and the nails are all connected.
- It is possible to create a circuit where the cells are in both in series and in parallel. You may want to look this up if you are having trouble getting enough current and voltage.
Figure 5. In this image, lemon cells are connected in parallel. Avoid having the cells touch. |
- If you have several cells connected and you feel that something is not correct, take everything apart and test each cell separately with the voltmeter or multimeter.
- If the battery cells are connected properly (supplying enough voltage and current), and the device that you have connected to the battery is still not working, try reversing the electrodes to the device. It could be that the negative/positive polarity is not correct.

Many factors can affect the performance of batteries, and many variations can be done on the simple experiments suggested above. Here are some things you might think about to lead you to other variations that you can devise on your own. These are not listed in any particular order. They are just a number of different things you might think about or try.
- How does varying the amount of load (resistance placed across the battery terminals) affect the voltage and current output from the battery?
- By applying different loads on a battery, can you determine its internal resistance? (See the references on internal resistance in the Bibliography, above.) What do you think you could do to lower the internal resistance of your veggie cell battery? (For some ideas, see Variations 3, 4, and 5 below.)
- With a particular set of electrodes and electrolytes, the battery voltage should be about the same (when driving high-resistance loads). Can anything be done with the configuration of a voltaic cell to change the amount of current that it can deliver before the voltage drops considerably? Does the distance between the electrodes matter? If so, why? Does the surface area of the electrodes in contact with the electrolyte matter? If so, why?
- How do other materials affect the characteristics of the battery? For example:
- What happens if you use other kinds of fruit or vegetables?
- What happens if you use different metals for the electrodes?
- Would the battery work with just vegetable juice? How about just vinegar or salt water?
- Increase the number of cells that you hook up in parallel, or in series, or both. How does this affect the voltage and current that the battery can deliver? Can you predict based on the characteristics of a one-cell battery how much voltage or current a given configuration of similar cells hooked up in series or parallel will behave? Could you build a multiple-cell battery that would power a flashlight light bulb? How about a 9-volt transistor radio? How many cells in parallel and/or series would this take? (Remember for something like a transistor radio you have to provide both the right voltage and sufficient current.)
- In general, given the specifications (voltage and current requirements) for a load (the thing that you are trying to power up with the battery), can you predict how may cells (of a given configuration) it will take to power the load?
- How much electrical power can a particular veggie cell or battery produce?
- How long does it take for a veggie battery to run out of "juice" (electrical juice that is)? Why does it run out?
- Using fruits and vegetables (or pieces of them), can you think of other physical configurations that will make good batteries? How about a little piece of potato sandwiched between a penny and 1-inch squares of galvanized (zinc) sheet metal? Can you stack up these penny-potato-zinc cells to create a higher voltage battery?

The following Science Buddies resources may help:
- Writing a Hypothesis: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_hypothesis.shtml
- A Strong Hypothesis: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/blog/2010/02/a-strong-hypothesis.php
- Make sure your vegetable or fruit is fresh. The longer you use one piece of fruit or vegetable, the more moisture it will lose; a dry fruit or vegetable will not provide power. It helps to pre-soak your fruit or vegetable in water (this is particularly effective with potatoes) and keep the fruit or vegetable in a sealed container during the experiment.
- Your electrodes will also influence how much power you can get from the battery. Make sure they are clean and fully inserted into the fruit or vegetable. Increasing the surface area of the electrodes will also increase the output of your battery. Try using long, flat strips of metal instead of nails, if possible.
- Check the energy requirements of the device you are trying to power. If it requires too much current or voltage, no feasible vegetable or fruit battery will be able to power it. Look for items that run at 3 volts or less and that draw less than 0.5mA. Good choices include a small calculator, a 3 volt radio, a battery-powered timer, or an LED light.
- Often a battery has either sufficient voltage or current to power the device, but not both. It is important that your battery meets both the voltage and current requirements for whatever you are trying to power. Using your multimeter, measure the voltage and current of your battery. If one of those values is lower than what is needed to power the device, try rearranging your battery in a series (to create more voltage) or in parallel (to create more current). Look at the project idea for more instructions on how to do this.
- As with any project dealing with electrical components, check your connections! Just one wire that is poorly connected to something else can keep your entire experiment from working properly.
You should also use the multimeter to check the voltage being produced by the battery, as described in step 2 of Experiment 1 in the Project Idea. If your battery is out of "juice," it will not power the calculator even if the connections are correct.
