Several parts of the country, including our home state of Minnesota, have recently been deluged by rainstorms leading to significant issues with flooding. Part of the coverage related to this flooding, including stories published in both Minnesota and Missouri, has centered on the impact flood waters have on the safety of local drinking water.
This leads to perhaps the most important question of all, and one that we've heard from some FridgeFilters.com customers, is my drinking water safe?
In answering this question, we first need to determine where the drinking water dispensed by your fridge first originates from.
If your water comes from your municipality, ie 'city water,' the answer is very likely 'yes.' In the event of any contamination issues with local drinking water, cities will issue a boil water alert or advisory. Read More

Stori probably wet her pants just now! WooHoo! We backup recorded the whole thing on our regular video camera, so if I can figure out how, I'll put that video up.
Congrats Stori and thank you to everyone who donated. With the original $1500 we raised plus the $3560 from the raffle, you all helped us raise $5060 for Haiti and the DRC. I have already made the donation to Heartline via the internet. Our organization in DRC prefers a check, so I'll send that out tomorrow.
Special thanks to Veronica Caldwell who donated the condo. She was so inspired by how well the raffle was going that she has offered to give $25 to Heartline and OFA from any bookings she happens to get from this. How awesome is that!!! Just mention that you found her on our blog and she'll keep the giving going. Here are the links to her properties again.
Again- from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Every single one of you. Thank you for caring. Thank you for donating. Thank you for linking us. Just thanks! You all are wonderful!!!!
And since we made it to the goal...be on the lookout for a thank you giveaway in the coming days...

Synthcube am4023 VCF
MUFF WIGGLER Forum Index
Fractional Rack Modules
Synthcube am4023 VCF
br>I recently ordered one of Synthcube's am4023 VCF kits. This is a kit version of Rob Keeble's PCB that he did some time ago, which is based on the Odyssey 12db 2 pole VCF circuit. The kit is available in 1U & 2U versions, in both minijack and banana. I got the 1U minijack kit.
I don't have any 'stock' frac filters in my rig - I have a MMM VCF that I built from their kit and a LPG, which can act as a filter. So I jumped at the chance to get a 1U wide filter, as that's the only space I have left.
My kit showed up yesterday. Wow, it's certainly an impressively put together kit. All the parts are packed in separate boxes, grouped by type:
The kit contains lots of resistors - the values that only have 1 or 2 resistors are nicely identified in their own packet, which saves a lot of time:
This makes a nice change from the Blacet kits where everything is lumped together in a bag and you have to spend a while identifying everything. This is not a criticism of Blacet by the way - if I had to pack the amount of kits they do, I'm sure I'd do it that way
A number of the wires are supplied with connecting headers already made up:
The documentation is a nice ring bound document that contains all the instructions and schematics. My only criticism of it was the parts list was sometimes hard to read as the font is quite small. But I am getting old...
The PCB was easy to put together. It started to get a bit fiddly when it came to mounting the sockets, pots and PCB to the panel - there isn't much room at all behind the panel. This bit would be easier on the 2U wide panel I would guess. I haven't come across the sockets that are used before, they look nice and have a nice feel to them. But I lack the right tool to tighten the washer - it is a circular type with 2 small slots. The instructions didn't mention which lugs were which (signal, ground), but a quick test with the meter soon sorted that out.
Here's the completed module:
The knobs go right to the edge of the panel, and the pots stick out a bit at the side, but it doesn't seem to interfere when racking up the module. The layout of the controls seems a bit unconventional, I expect freq/res at the top on a VCF, but they are in the middle on this one.
I can't say how it compares to any of the Blacet filters, as I've never heard one. But this is a really nice sounding filter. I haven't properly calibrated it yet, but it has a really nice sounding sine wave when self oscillating. Unusually there is a fine tune control so you can really tune in the sine wave to the desired pitch. I can see myself using this as the basis for some BD patches. It's hard to describe filters sometimes, but this one sits on the 'smooth' side rather than 'wild' or 'harsh' (like a MS20 for example). Just feeding it a single sawtooth I was also able to get some fairly 'acid' type tones out of it.
Considering the effort that has gone into this kit, the price is very good value - just under $100, which for me worked out at about £65 plus shipping. The good news for me was customs didn't get their grubby hands on it!
Sorry for the long post, but it's not often we get a new Frac filter 8_) br> br>
br>That kit looks gourmet!
Very tempting. Anything that comes with a panel is tempting really - I'm over making my own and I'm too cheap to order proper ones. At least, that's my excuse for my ever-growing DIY backlog... br> br>
br>holy christ!!
that packaging. br> br>
br>it's true we don't often get a new filter around these parts..any chance of an audio sample? br> br>
br>werock, thanks for the feedback. comments noted for future kits!
would love to hear the audio demo when you get the filter dialed in
this is a quick, rough sample demo we did during prototyping... there's a second demo, too
br> br>

Ok, here's a couple of quick samples.
The first is some general wiggling of the frequency and res controls, ending up in bass drum like oscillation.
The second has an lfo modulatng the frequency, while gradually upping the resonance.

br>Stay tuned for another couple of new modules in frac.... Barton Dual Quantizer , and j3rk Dual 258j Oscillator
More news midweek
br> br>
br>Synthcube, I can't find these (2u only) on you website.
Will these be restocked? br> br>
br>Here's the link to the 2u version... We have 1u versions also in stock, and both 1u and 2u versions in frac banana
http://synthcube.com/cart/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name= Am4023&product_id=144
br> br>
br>I see.
Want I'm looking for is the 1u minijack version, same as Werock's.
That one I can't find on the website. br> br>
br>here's the link to to the 1U minijack version:
http://synthcube.com/cart/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name= 4023&product_id=146
hope this helps br> br>
br>Just about to start a build for the AM4023 pcb I bought from you about a month ago.
Going to stick it behind a Eurorack panel.
I checked the synthcube site but struggled to find any hires picks of a completed dotcom/MU module.
Do you have any I could see for a visual guide before I drill the panel?
br> br>
if you go to
and search '4023' you should see the MOTM, dotcom/MU and Frac panel versions, in 1U and 2U wide- lots of options for you!
Good luck with it... keep us posted br> br>
br>Yeah, I've seen all those pics, cheers.
Was wondering if there were any more, especially hi res pics
of the wiring!
This is my first DIY panel. Drilled the holes myself!
Slightly off but I don't care.
Panel design by my daughter Catherine with a permanent marker.
br> br>
br>But apart from that, what I could use a bit of help with would be how to
make this a 12v unit on the pcb as I'm a Eurorack whore!
Any advice as to what to do during the build to make this adjustment
would be a learning experience and most appreciated!
I've been getting loads of help from Frequency Central's Rick Holt
and have successfully built a System X VCO and Moog Vogue filter,
but now it's getting scary!
br> br>
br>Most importantly, that is an AWESOME panel!
I will take some pictures of the PCBs and get them to you. It's a really straightforward build..
There are no adjustments required for euro/12v.. In fact the circuit was designed for use in a euro system originally . The only change will need to be an adaptor to connect the euro power cable to the 4pin power header, or you can directly solder to the PCB holes. br> br>
br>This is simply wonderful news!
I've only just joined this modular 'subculture' and
it's time's like these that make me realize how fucking
cool you all are!
More advise on the power 'adapter' or direct soldering
would be greatly appreciated.
br> br>
br>The only thing holding me back from getting started is the farrite inductors.
Not sure which specific rating to use.
Plus adapting it for 12v operation in my Eurorack format.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
br> br>
br>Mouser carries some of these:
http://www.fair-rite.com/cgibin/catalog.pgm?THEONEPART=2773009111&SEAR CHAGAIN=Y#select:freq1
Mostly I see the 4/5mm long ones being used. br> br>
br>Cheers mate. Sourced some on ebay for pretty cheap.
All that's left is sorting out the ribbon from my Eurorack case
to the PCB! br> br>

br>What does the 2u version have that the 1u doesn't ?
The synthcube site keeps giving me errors when trying o get info on it.
Any one patching 2 of these in series for some 24 db action ? br> br>

The 2u has a second CV in with attenuator and three inputs (one direct, two with attenuators). I plan on building a second one soon, mainly because I'd like to use one for kick drums and one as a VCF. br> br>

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner is using salty language to prod the Senate to act on legislation to replace automatic spending cuts known as the sequester.
Boehner complained at a news conference Tuesday that the House has twice passed bills that would replace the across-the-board cuts with more targeted reductions, while the Senate has not acted.
Senate Democrats have unveiled a package that would replace the sequester with a mix of spending cuts and tax increases. The Senate could act on a bill later this week, though it is unlikely to pass because Republicans oppose the tax hikes.
A frustrated Boehner told reporters, quote, "We should not have to move a third bill before the Senate gets off their ass and begins to do something."

I have had business dealings with Executive Care for some time now and have invariably been very satisfied. The personnel have been considerate, trustworthy, capable and always responsive. They have provided a genuine physical and emotional lift to the patient, in my case an elderly, frail sister. I do not hesitate to recommend the organization for the services rendered.

Jes recommended "Executive Care". I instantly knew Executive Care would be a good fit. The girl who cared for my father was very responsible, trustworthy, caring and concerned for his welfare. What a relief for my sister and I to have someone we could count on and trust. I couldn't be more pleased! Thank you for your service.

I recently went to a wedding of one of my boyfriends old friends. It was quite religious with an opening prayer, lots of references to what the bible says about marriage, songs that were religious, more prayers and all that nonsense.
My boyfriend, who is an atheist, mentioned that he would want that for his wedding because "it's tradition and there would be hell to pay from my family if there wasn't". I personally don't want all that garbage poisoning my wedding, and as for the family, it would be our wedding and not theirs. Why should we do things we don't want to placate them?
My question to you is, what would be right for an atheist? What is your opinion on how an atheist wedding should be? What is your opinion on having a religious wedding to satisfy family members?

There are lots of financial benefits to having a spouse in the US. For example an insurance company will not let you have family coverage for your bf/gf but you can for your spouse. Same with ownership of property and many other things
Then incorporate.
Declarations of love and the sweet perks that come from being married make it worth the while. Moerover there are legal issue that understanding every marriage goes through MANY rough patches, may actually make for wiser long term decisions first based out of an inconvenient process to get divorce, the money, the time, and eveyone else involved if there is more than you in the family, can make you wait long enough for feelings to be turned around. Its a lot easier to dissolve a friendship then go through a divorce legally.
The ceremony does deserve some gravitas placed on it. Coupling has proven to be very beneficial to health both physical and mental. But is not easy and should be viewed as the work it is. I know much more about myself from those coupling than I would have ever figured out on my own. And that in itself deserves a little pomp and circumstance!!
You can declare love more so without a legal contract that forces you to feel something forever.
I don't see how marriage is the epitome of coupling, when that's really just what clergy want you to think. It's not more or less coupling than shackling two people together.
Besides, if your relationship is weak enough that the only thing holding you back from a break up is the tedious paperwork involved with the legal contract, guess what, it's not worth much.
Marriage doesn't change the relationship in the least bit, other than the commercial aspect of it like Adam said, and the legal paperwork. Everything else is already there. It's a label.
I am unmarried however my brother got married a few years ago. He and his wife are both non-religious and had a ceremony with no mention of any religion. But it was still a ceremony that felt significant. They did a ceremony with roses and the justice of the peace read something about how they can always have roses in their home as a reminder of their love etc. It was a short ceremony ~20 minutes and it was totally about THEM and their commitment to each other not any supernatural being. The ceremony wasn't in a church but at a purpose built wedding facility. It had big bright windows and a vaulted ceiling a lot like a church though. They kept it pretty small with about 30 people at the ceremony itself. I have always thought that religious reasons for marriage undermine your actual commitment to the other person. If I want to marry another person I want it to be about us not about what the big man in the sky would want me to do.
It's your wedding; the only people whose satisfaction should be your concern is you and your groom. If family members have a problem with it, their attendance is not required for the wedding to take place.
I'm an atheist married to a Christian. Her family had kittens when they found out we were getting married. We eloped and got married at City Hall in New York City.
It is obvious that religious stuff bothers you. Therefore, nothing to discuss, your/his family members just have to live with it. After all it is your wedding not theirs. I find your friend's attitude hypocritical btw.
I find your friend's attitude hypocritical btw.
I know, I do too.
As with many things which were traditionally associated with religion, a wedding has many elements that speak to our humanity and should not necessarily be discarded simply because of bad associations. I certianly think that wedding vows are a great tradition, and these have the added virtue of being as flexible as you want them to be, perhaps a vow to keep each other from getting religion in old age! I even think that a wedding in a church with organ music playing wouldn't be such a bad thing, though I personally abhor the starchy formal dress that such events normally entail. The point is that your wedding would be your wedding and you should thus choose which traditions to keep and which to junk to make it just what you'd like. Definitely keep bridal registry, though.
I actually just wrote a blog about atheist marriage a little over a week ago. Some of it should certainly be relevant to your questions.http://brainhulklogicsmash.blogspot.com/2013/02/atheist-marriage.html
I am an atheist, and I am also married. Oddly enough, this simple combination of those two facts results in some people becoming confused and sometimes even at odds. Perhaps I'll start with a theological picture of my marriage. As I stated already, I am an atheist. At the time of our marriage, my wife considered herself a Wiccan. As time went by her beliefs have wandered somewhere between atheism and her Wiccan beliefs. As of now I'd say that she's somewhat more Wiccan still than anything else. Now that you have a basic picture of our union, let's press on to the reactions and questions that sometimes come up...
How can you be married to someone with differing beliefs?
Is this really so hard to understand? People very rarely share every single belief and opinion that their spouse holds, so why should we expect theology to hold a special place where both sides must see eye-to-eye 100%? To be quite honest, the answer is quite simple. Mutual respect. She respects my beliefs, and I respect hers. We do not try to convert one another, or belittle the others theological stance. And when you actually get to know what someone believes you may sometimes find that there really is a lot that you may both actually agree on, even if the label of your favored theology may be different. If one or both parties are concerning themselves with proselytizing to the other, then there will be conflict in the relationship. However, we have no such conflict. Actually, we can talk about the subject matter for hours. Perhaps it is because we are both former Catholics. Or maybe it's because we both find theology fascinating. But we can sit and talk about the silly things that people believe, the logical problems, the beauty of the natural world and how it doesn't get the respect it deserves, and find that the time has flown past swiftly without our even noticing. So to those wondering if a marriage between those of differing theological opinions can work, yes... yes it can. But only if you respect one another and their beliefs.
How does one get married without religion?
Quite simply, actually. And often much cheaper than a church wedding. If you don't want to get married in a church to appease family, there is always the option of getting married at the courthouse. But if you are looking to still have a gathering of family and friends, you can do what we did and hire an officiant. If you do your homework, you can find someone to help you craft a wedding of your design. We wanted a wedding void of the Christianity to which we no longer subscribed. He agreed and also felt the the ceremony should be about us, and not anyone else. So we crafted a ceremony that was largely secular, but also included some nods to my wife's Pagan leanings. We rented a hall to hold the the wedding and reception in. To start, we exchanged rings at the back of the hall at the beginning of the ceremony as per an old medieval tradition. We had readings of poetry rather than scripture. We wrote our on vows (in which I reference nuclear fusion, in an arguably romantic way), we chose our own music for the start and finish of the ceremony, and we concluded the vows with a handfasting ceremony in place of the ring exchange. In the end you were left with a beautiful ceremony that family and friends could enjoy, was 100% legal, and god-free. And to be honest, I don't think anyone that didn't know that was our plan beforehand even noticed out omissions. So one can very easily get married and still make it a beautiful and meaningful event without the need to bow down to the template and requirements of the church. Oh, and no premarital counseling requiered!
Why get married if you're not religious? / Marriage is all about religion.
Why get married? the simple answer is love and commitment. That was true in our case anyway, but this answer may vary slightly from couple to couple. But let me start out by saying that I actually don't think that marriage is necessary for a couple to have a long-term committed relationship. In fact, some atheist's choose not to get married just because so many falsely believe that marriage is inherently religious. Let's be honest with ourselves... marriage isn't for everyone. But in our case, it's what we wanted. It is a symbol of our love and commitment, and also a symbolic marker of this new chapter in the story of our life and relationship. We had no worries that our marriage had to be 'blessed' by a priest or deity in order to last. After all, it is the individuals in a relationship that control it's health and vitality. Not to mention that if a deity is 'blessing' marriages, he's doing a pretty bad job since religious marriages have a slightly hire divorce rate than non-religions ones. The reasons to get married if you're not religious are honest and emotional. I personally favor this vision of marriage, rather than one that also includes conforming to what the church expects you to do. Should you rush into a marriage just because you find out you are pregnant? Or isn't it better to determine if the relationship is strong enough to fulfill the commitment you'd be entering into? If the long term bond isn't there, I feel that the marriage would be irresponsible, even though it may be what your church demands in order to align with expectations. But I contend an unhappy marriage and divorce would be worse for the child than two separate parents doing what the can outside of marriage. As I said before, marriage isn't for everyone, and the reasons people get married can vary greatly. But I feel content and in fact comforted that our marriage was about our mutual love, and nothing more.
As for the second statement that 'marriage is all about religion'... That's just downright false! I've heard it before (but luckily lest that the other questions), "Aren't you being a hypocrite if you are getting married as an atheist? Marriage is a religious institution!" Quite often a bit of all the previous questions is miked into their flawed 'reasoning', but the simple fact is that while marriage can be religious, it isn't inherently so. Some like to think that the church owns and invented marriage, but this couldn't be further from the case. Christianity invented marriage about as much as the invented the Christmas traditions we all enjoy. In short, they didn't! Marriage is much older than Christianity, just as Christmas is. And like the way Christianity 'borrowed' Pagan traditions and claimed them as their own, the also try to do the same with marriage. Sure there are some parts of Christian marriage that are unique to Christian marriage, but you can also say the same for Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Norse, Shinto, and all other religions takes on marriage. But that does not change the fact that marriage is much older than the religions that may try to claim sole ownership of the institution. Marriage actually predates written history, and at it's earliest known point seems to have centered around mating exclusivity. It wasn't until much later that religions started weaving themselves into marriage.
I'm hoping that I have shown you that marriage is not inherently religious, and that marriage involving the nonreligious it a very meaningful, and understandable institution, despite what those blinded by their faith may try to tell you.

Mirinda Carfrae Seizes Her Second World Championship
After spending two years in the shadow of her 2010 victory, the best runner in IRONMAN notches a crown-worthy comeback.
by Jennifer Ward Barber
The canon blast at 6:35 this morning signaled not only the women's start of this year's GoPro IRONMAN World Championship, but a new tide in professional women's IRONMAN racing. For the second year in a row the women enjoyed their own race start five minutes after the pro men. The addition of five more slots for the pro women on the start line also set the stage early for a lively race.
The swim differentiated itself from the men's race almost immediately when a lead pack broke off containing first-year pro Haley Chura, 2010 IRONMAN 70.3 world champ Jodie Swallow (GBR), as well as Leanda Cave (GBR), Meredith Kessler (USA), Amanda Stevens (USA) and Rachel Joyce (GBR). American Mary Beth Ellis, picked as a pre-race favorite, was still able to exit Kailua Bay in 15th, four-weeks post collarbone surgery.
Once on the bike, a new group race dynamic began to develop—one not historically present in the women's race. Today's 112-mile ride through the forgivably cool day in the lava fields showed the kind of strategic riding usually reserved for the men's race; there was no room for individual time trials among the women today.
Following her fourth best swim (54:06), Kessler took the overall women's lead five miles into the bike leg. Amanda Stevens, in excellent form this year, put the pressure on Kessler and passed her at the 30-mile mark. Caroline Steffen, Jodie Swallow and Rachel Joyce chose to ride smart and steady all day as Kessler and Stevens played leapfrog at the front, until Joyce chose to make a strategic move after the turnaround at Hawi. Steffen surprised spectators, choosing not to respond to Joyce's push, and all eyes were glued to Carfrae as she pushed a hard solo effort, trying to keep her deficit to a minimum, and proving significant gains in her cycling over the past year.

Entering T2, speculations began to fly when it became clear that Carfrae had lost only four minutes to the leaders. She came in off the bike with just under eight minutes to make up—challenging, but doable for the Australian. She set a blistering pace putting 30 seconds per mile into the leaders. She looked strong from the get-go, and, as if rectifying last year's nutritional snafu (she lost a water bottle of calories), the Carfrae of 2010 began to show signs of a remarkable comeback.
The rest of the day belonged to the Brisbane-born Carfrae. Joyce held a strong pace through mile 15, when her friend gave her a quick pat on the back and blew by her like the Kona crosswinds we usually see here. Though the Brit had opened up a gap on the always-strong Kessler, it wasn't enough to hold off the woman whose marathon would best the bulk of the pro men.
Carfrae soared across the finish line, tasting her second victory on Ali'I Drive, in 8:52:14—two minutes ahead of Chrissie Wellington's world record 8:54:02. Carfrae swept up the new course record as well, and with a tearful smile leapt into her fiance's arms (fifth-place pro Tim O'Donnell) in celebration. She also recorded the third-fastest overall run split of the day: 2:50:38.
"I'm getting married in two months—I think I'll be able to cover the wedding bill," a jubilant Carfrae said at the finish, crediting her victory to longtime coach Siri Lindley. "I just had one of those days where you don't hurt—I didn't know I had a performance like that in me."
Rachel Joyce finished just 5:14 back for a time of 8:57, putting her in second—her best ever placement on the island. "I gave everything and when you do that, you can't ask for any more," she said at the finish line. Great Britain's Liz Blatchford finished third for another big surprise in the women's race. She only decided to race here in August, and despite serving a four-minute penalty, was able to make a mark here on the island. It was a day of comebacks, consistency, and joyful firsts for the top three women.

Attorney general files complaint to stop proposed central Illinois strip mine
Madigan say DNR erred in approving mine permit in 2007
Strip mining — a type of surface mining that involves excavating earth, rock and other sediment to uncover coal — has once again come under fire in central Illinois.
Last month Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed a complaint in Fulton County, asking that the circuit court require the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to rescind the permit for strip mining a 430.6-acre tract near Banner, a village located 85 miles northwest of Springfield.
Delaware-based Capital Resources Development Company first requested a permit from DNR's Office of Mines and Minerals to mine 1.6 million short tons of coal from the area in 2002. In the past seven years, the attorney general's office, as well as local residents and environmental groups, have repeatedly objected to Capital's plan, citing concerns over potential effects on nearby Banner Marsh and Rice Lake State Fish and Wildlife Areas and contamination of Banner's water supply.
DNR issued a permit for the proposed Banner Mine in November 2007, but the following month, Madigan filed a petition requesting an internal administrative review of the decision. From June to November 2008, a state hearing officer heard concerns from area environmental experts and citizens to determine if DNR erred in approving the permit. Nearly a year later, on Sept. 15, the officer returned the permit to DNR and ordered further review of the application.
Madigan's most recent complaint, filed on Oct. 9, requests that the Fulton County circuit court find that DNR and its hearing officer failed to "timely commence" the administrative review. The complaint also asks the court to reverse DNR's findings that the company's plan would not impact the area's endangered or threatened species and their habitats.
"The facts indicate that a strip mine at this location will be harmful to the local environment and the people that live nearby," Madigan said in a statement. "I am asking the court to hear the many voices from the Banner area who have expressed their concern and to reevaluate the facts regarding this permit."
DNR spokesman Chris McCloud confirmed that DNR would ask Capital to modify and resubmit its permit application, but could not comment on the complaint filed by the attorney general's office.
"The department can't comment on issues that are pending legal matters," McCloud says. "We're going to let the legal process take its course and go from there."
Joyce Blumenshine, a volunteer with the Heart of Illinois Sierra Club, is an opponent of Banner Mine and joined several Banner residents in frequent trips to Springfield during last year's six-month administrative review. The strip-mining permit is currently in limbo, she says — DNR has not yet determined if this is an appropriate place for mining.
There are many issues that have not been addressed, Blumenshine adds, including how eagles and osprey, two at-risk bird species that nest nearby, will be affected and how farmland will be reclaimed after mining ends. Additionally, an updated wildlife-resource assessment needs to be performed to reveal if other endangered or threatened plant and animal species have appeared on the property.
The Banner Mine issue is a concern for all Illinois citizens, Blumenshine says. Even if they don't fish, bird-watch or hunt, their future generations could access Banner Marsh and Rice Lake if the lands are preserved and protected.
"The attorney general has again showed a real concern for representing the people's interest in this state and the protection of the environment," Blumenshine says. "This is one of the most heartening things I have seen in state government in quite some time."

Got probiotics? These friendly microorganisms live in our digestive tract and may improve normal digestive health and immune function. If you buy them at the store – from capsules to sauerkraut to daily kombuchas – you know it can cost a pretty penny. Try making your own kraut instead! All it takes is one head of cabbage, a few tablespoons of Kalahari Desert Salt and pure water. Not only is it cheap, it's really easy, too. Our staff member Sara has perfected a recipe that we are happy to share with you!
- 1 head cabbage (purple or green)
- 1 ½ – 2 Tbsp fine Kalahari Desert Salt
- 1-2 garlic cloves (optional)
- 1-2 cayenne peppers (optional)
- Pure water
- Gallon-sized jar and lid
- Nut milk bag, cheese cloth, or mesh
- Breathable kitchen towel
- 2 or 3 rocks or crystals, about 5 inches in length
- Rubber band
- Sterilize your jar and your rocks.
- Remove the first 2 or 3 outer leaves of the cabbage and set aside.
- Finely chop the rest of the cabbage by hand or with a food processor. Place in a bowl.
- If you opt for the garlic, mince or finely chop it and mix it with your cabbage in the bowl. For a more traditional kraut, you can mix in 10 juniper berries.
- Layer the cabbage and the salt in the jar by taking two large handfuls of cabbage, placing them evenly in the jar and sprinkling 2 small handfuls of salt on top of each layer of cabbage. Repeat several times until you have used all the cabbage and salt.
- Add in your cayenne peppers (if you like a little heat) by pressing them down along the sides of the jar. For a more traditional kraut, you can use 1-2 dried bay leaves instead.
- Make sure that your cabbage mixture is evenly distributed in the jar. Now take your outer cabbage leaves and place them on top of your chopped cabbage / salt mixture so that it's completely covered. Give a good pressing to the top of the outer leaves to make sure everything is nice and compressed.
- Place your rocks on top of the outer leaves to help keep the mixture down.
- Add pure water to almost completely cover the rocks. If you like, you can add more water if you wish to have more liquid for a probiotic energy drink.
- Sprinkle two last pinches of salt to the top of the water line.
- Cover the jar with a nut milk bag, cheese cloth, or mesh and seal with a rubber band around the rim of the jar. The place the lid on top of the jar – do not screw it on. The idea is to let the culture breathe, but not let invasive organisms inside the jar.
- Next cover the jar with a breathable kitchen towel.
- Place the jar in a warm, dark place for 1-4 weeks, depending on the temperature of the room and how much fermentation you would like to occur. Do not place the jar in the fridge until the fermentation process is complete. The jar will need to ferment somewhere well ventilated so that the aroma does not get too intense.
- When your sauerkraut is ready to harvest, look to see if there is a film along the top of the water. If there is, simply skim it off with a spoon. Then strain the remaining liquid with a colander. You can drink it if you like, a little bit each day for an energizing elixir filled with enzymes and probiotics.
- Place your homemade sauerkraut in a new jar. Refrigerate and enjoy!

Numbers that matter: Oklahoma vs. Texas
This isn't your typical "Red River Rivalry" matchup.
Sure, No. 12 Oklahoma (5-0) is undefeated, but the Sooners aren't playing with the panache typical of a Bob Stoops' team contending for a national championship.
MORE: Top 10 rivalries | Best Big Ten trophies | Week 7 picks
It's been more of a conservative approach so far.
Texas (3-2), meanwhile, can't afford to be conservative. Given all the talk in Austin, this could be a way for Mack Brown to save his job.
There's still plenty at stake, and it's forever one of college football's best rivalries.
Let's go inside the numbers to see who has the advantage:
Texas beat Oklahoma 28-2 in the first meeting in 1900. The Longhorns have a 59-43-5 edge in the series, which has been marked by runs from both sides. Texas won eight straight from 1940-47 and 1958-65. The Sooners won six in a row from 1952-57 and have taken the last three meetings.

Marquee matchups
The BCS Era has brought out the best in both programs, which have combined for 12 BCS bowl appearances and two national championships. This marks the first time since 2005 that both schools aren't ranked heading into the matchup.
MORE: Baylor's dizzying offensive display
Signature win: No. 10 Oklahoma 63, No. 11 Texas 14 (2000)
Dubbed the "Red River Romp," the game marked the Sooners' arrival on the national scene under Stoops. Quentin Griffin rushed for six touchdowns in the blowout, which Oklahoma led 42-7 at halftime. The Sooners used that momentum to complete a 13-0 season and win the BCS national championship.
Signature win: No. 5 Texas 45, No. 1 Oklahoma 35 (2008)
A record 92,182 fans filled the Cotton Bowl for the highest-scoring game in the rivalry's history. Sam Bradford threw for 387 yards and five touchdowns, but it wasn't enough against Colt McCoy, who finished with 277 yards. Texas rallied in the fourth quarter behind a pair of touchdown runs by Cody Johnson.

Signature game: No. 1 Texas 15, No. 3 Oklahoma 15 (1984)
Talk about surreal drama. Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer wore a "Beat Texas" hat on the sideline, and Mack Brown was the Sooners' offensive coordinator. Texas quarterback Todd Dodge appeared to throw a game-ending interception to Keith Stanberry with 10 seconds remaining, but officials ruled the pass incomplete. Texas' Jeff Ward kicked the game-tying field goal as time expired. The teams left the field with fans from both sides chanting, "We're No. 1! We're No. 1!"
Bob Stoops vs. Mack Brown
Stoops is 9-5 against Texas, but he also is 9-1 against the Longhorns when the Sooners are ranked higher in the AP Poll, the lone loss coming in 2008. Brown is 6-9 against the Sooners, but the schools have split the last eight meetings.
Key matchup: Texas defensive ends vs. Oklahoma tackles
The Longhorns' much-maligned defense still has a pair of NFL-ready defensive ends in Jackson Jeffcoat and Cedric Reed. Oklahoma's Blake Bell took three sacks against TCU last week, so Oklahoma tackles Tyrus Thompson and Daryl Williams -- both 320 pounders -- have to bring their "A game."
Key matchup: Oklahoma wide receivers vs. Texas secondary
Oklahoma seems content to run a possession passing game with receivers Sterling Shepard (21 catches, 266 yards, 3 TDs) and Jalen Saunders (22 catches, 214 yards, 3 TDs) with the occasional deep shot to Jazz Reynolds (6 catches, 137 yards). Texas defensive backs have combined for just two interceptions. How much will they gamble?
MORE: Oregon, Helfrich winning the day | Top 25 schedule, TV
On the spot: Case McCoy, QB, Texas
It's been a struggle against the Sooners since Case's brother Colt left Austin. In the past three losses, Texas quarterbacks have averaged 234.7 passing yards with three TDs and five interceptions. Will McCoy step up, or is the excuse to put touted-freshman Tyrone Swoopes in action?
On the spot: Oklahoma running backs
The Sooners rolled up 363 rushing yards and six TDs in last year's blowout. If Oklahoma gets that kind of production from the 1-2 punch of Brennan Clay (6.6 yards per carry) and Damien Williams (4.0 ypc.), this won't take long. Texas has the seventh-worst rushing defense in the country (248.4 yards per game).
Stat that matters: First-half scoring
Texas has to have hope at halftime. The Sooners have outscored the Longhorns 91-19 in the first half of the last three meetings.
Stat that matters: Third-down passing
Bell's efficiency on third down has been remarkable. He's 18-for-30 with no interceptions, and he averages 11.3 yards per attempt on third down. He also averages 4.4 yards per carry on third down. If the Longhorns want to have a chance, then interim defensive coordinator Greg Robinson better have a plan to contain Bell.
Bottom line
The Sooners are double-digit favorites for a reason. Texas hasn't shown enough on defense -- the Longhorns allowed 201 rushing yards against Iowa State last week. Still, if Texas can feed off the emotions of the always-charged atmosphere of this unique rivalry and keep it close in the first half, then a season-saving (and perhaps coach-saving) upset isn't out of the question. If not, bank on four in a row for Oklahoma.

Chris Foster of Los Gatos ran faster than any other Central Coast Section runner at the CIF State Cross Country Championships held Nov. 30 in Fresno.
Two weeks after racing to the CCS Division II title, Foster earned a state top-10 medal by placing ninth out of 184 D-II boys on the 3.1-mile course at Woodward Park. His time of 15:28.3 was more than a minute better than the 16:43 he posted at state as a freshman two seasons ago.
Saratoga junior Steven Sum, Monta Vista senior Bridget Gottlieb and Harker Academy freshman Niki Iyer also turned in top-20 performances at the state meet.
It was the third state meet for Sum, who finished 14th out of 196 runners in the Division III boys race. Sum finished out of the medals by 11 seconds, but his time of 15:49.3 was seven seconds faster than last year's 20th-place showing at state. In 2011, as a freshman, Sum placed 47th at Woodward Park with 16:15.
Among local girls, Gottlieb was the fastest at 18:01, the fourth best time among 118 girls from the CCS. Gottlieb earned 20th place out of 198 Division I racers.
Iyer earned the highest place of the day by a local runner, taking seventh in the Division IV girls contest, her first at the 3.1-mile distance.
Iyer, who placed third at CCS, clocked 18:32.8 in her first state meet. San Lorenzo Valley senior Anna Maxwell backed up her CCS gold medal by running away with the state title too in 17:07.8.
Division I boys
The best showing by a local team was turned in by Bellarmine in the Division I boys race. The Bells finished sixth out of 23 teams, as there was just an 11-second difference between their first runner, junior Alex Sasser (43rd place, 15:56) and senior Justin Barry (60th, 16:07). The Bells in between were juniors Tucker Meijer (49th, 16:00), Miles Meijer (51st, 16:01) and senior Matt Seidel (58th, 16:05).
Homestead, competing as a team at state for the first time in school history, placed 19th. Brandon Sutton paced the Mustangs, taking 76th in 16:13, two places and .9 ahead of fellow senior Cooper Sloan.
Juniors Joey Gronovious (16:50) and Ashish Bhusal (16:59), sophomores Christopher Reed (17:11) and Adithya Somasundaram (17:22) and senior Giorgio Liantono (17:29) were the other Homestead runners.
Division I girls
Homestead junior Hannah Allen (18:30) was 27 seconds faster than last year at state and finished 36th in the D-I race. Freshman Lindsey Allen was 12 places back at 18:38.
Gottlieb paced Monta Vista to a 12th-place finish out of 23 teams. Freshman Kelly Bishop (18:52, 68th) and junior Jenny Xu (18:56, 74th) were the next two Matadors, followed by sophomore Madeleine Yip (19:39), senior Sunny Shan (19:58), junior Julia Chang (20:34) and sophomore Anna Hsiao (21:09).
Division II boys
Foster crossed the finish line 19 seconds after winner Garrett Corcoran, a senior from Villa Park, but the rest of the Los Gatos squad were far back in the pack, and the Wildcats placed 19th in the team standings.
Sophomore Sanjay Mohan was the second fastest Wildcat, taking 137h place in 17:01, four seconds and eight places ahead of junior Ben Haderle. Sophomores Eric Gelphman (17:11) and Taisei Nishiki (17:31) were the other scoring runners for Los Gatos, just ahead of sophomore Kelly Atkinson (17:33). Junior Jack Sexton competed despite a nagging injury and finished in 20:02.
Lynbrook sophomore Justin Robison finished 79th in 16:23. Lynbrook senior Rohit Sarathy placed 87th with 16:28.
Division II girls
Simi Valley senior Sarah Baxter stole the show, becoming the third girl in California history to win four consecutive state championships. She ran 16:43, leading her team to a state title as well.
Among Silicon Valley finishers, Archbishop Mitty sophomore Julia Lemak placed 24th with 18:29 to lead the Monarchs to 14th in the team standings, two spots ahead of league rival St. Francis.
Leland sophomore Riley Mason (18:52) took 50th out of 183 runners, six places better than Lynbrook junior Grace Ling (18:59). Los Gatos junior Cecily Johnson finished 62nd in 19:04. Pioneer senior Jeanine Noordam (19:37) placed 100th, five spots ahead of Mitty senior Olivia Brobst (19:39). Presentation senior Hannah Wood finished 111th in 19:48.
Division III girls
Valley Christian seniors Sara Vanwagoner (19:54) and Jessica Xu (20:05) placed 80th and 93rd out of 190 runners. Prospect sophomore Claire Liang ran 20:21 and finished 114th, while senior teammate Courtney Conlan clocked 20:58.
Division IV boys
Harker junior Corey Gonzales, the CCS Division IV boys champ, finished in 85th place out of 197 runners with a time of 17:12.

Pic of dog over keg spurs charges
Two college students have been charged with torturing and injuring a dog after someone tweeted a photo of the black Lab being held upside down above a beer keg.
ROCHESTER -- Two College at Brockport students have been charged with torturing and injuring an animal after a photo was posted online of a dog being held upside down above a beer keg, appearing to drink from the tap.
Shane Oliver of Bergen, N.Y., and Robert Yates of West Seneca, N.Y., both 20, will be back in Sweden Town Court at noon on April 2.
Brockport police said Oliver is the person pictured holding the dog, a black Labrador Retriever named Mya; Yates is the person who took the photo and posted it. The party occurred Saturday off the Brockport campus.
"Through a joint investigation between the SUNY Brockport Police, the Brockport Police Department and the Sweden Dog Warden, it was learned that a dog was held upside down, and apparently forced to consume beer from a keg during a party that occurred on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at a house located on Monroe Avenue in the village of Brockport," according to the news release.
School officials did confirm they have a student named Robert Yates and plan to have a conversation with him. Police confirmed Oliver is also a student.
Speculation that the people responsible for the photo were Brockport students began immediately because the person in the photo was wearing a college t-shirt and the photo was posted on a Twitter account called the SUNY Party Stories page. The photo spread quickly online, and by Monday afternoon was being featured on national news websites.
Mya's owner was not home when the photo was taken, police said. The dog has been taken by the local dog warden and is in good physical condition.
Oliver and Yates were each charged with a misdemeanor.
A spokesman for the college said school officials "were alarmed to see the photos and will investigate it and take appropriate action."
"But other than that it's pretty difficult to comment because the student privacy laws really tie our hands in terms of what we can say as it relates to specific student discipline," said spokesman John Follaco.
Follaco said school officials were meeting with students on Tuesday to learn more.

National cycling charity launches women's elite cycling team
National cycling charity launches women's elite cycling team
For more than a century, CTC has been actively promoting cycling to everyone across the British Isles, but the launch of the women's cycling team gives added support to women's cycling in particular.
Chief Executive of CTC Gordon Seabright said: "I'm delighted to announce that the 2013 season will see a CTC-backed elite women's team take to the road. There's clearly an imbalance in the sport, especially when it comes to funding the women's side. We want to show by actions and not just by words that we support women's cycling."
He continued: "We're hoping that CTC's support will translate into inspiring more women to take up cycling. Getting women riding for sport or leisure is of course doubly important as women often are the ones encouraging the next generation to cycle, cementing a lasting legacy for women's cycling in the UK."
I'm delighted to announce that the 2013 season will see a CTC-backed elite women's team take to the road
Gordon Seabright
Chief Executive of CTC
The team will be made up of six core riders of Elite, Category 1 and 2 status, and will offer the opportunity for two guest riders to compete alongside the team in selected races. The team will compete in six overseas high profile UCI races, the National Women's Individual and Team Road Race series, whilst also taking part in the thrilling Smithfield and Newport nocturnes. Riders on the team will also act as cycling ambassadors, encouraging cycling as part of an active lifestyle by taking part in events and mass participation rides.Team CTC is supported only by co-sponsors that share the same values as CTC and are therefore environmentally conscious and have an ethos of promoting diversity and fairness. The team will be fuelled by green energy uk and protected by specialist cycle insurers Butterworth Spengler. Team riders will be kitted out by Madison and equipped with top end N7even 2013 bikes by Merlin Cycles.
Doug Stewart, CEO from green energy uk said: "Being involved in the CTC Women's Cycling Team for 2013 is an exciting prospect. With the recent publicity surrounding the Olympics and the rise in the popularity of the sport, it is a good time to launch a professional women's team.
"Cycling is one of our passions, having taken up a number of challenges for charity ourselves we thought this was the ideal venture to support. We look forward to starting the 2013 calendar and seeing the green energy CTC Women's Cycling Team cross the finish line first!"
Director at Butterworth Spengler, Philip Coffey, said: "Butterworth Spengler has been providing specialist insurance cover for cyclists and cycle retailers for over 25 years and we are delighted to support the CTC Women's Cycling Team in 2013. The increased interest in the sport and the strong performances of women riders makes it an ideal time to get involved - both to help talented women athletes and to inspire more women to cycle.
"With cycling being such a central part of our activities, supporting and following what we are sure will be a winning CTC team will make it a very exciting 2013!"
CTC and sponsors will introduce the team on Saturday 19th January 1 pm - 1.30 pm at The London Bike Show. Join us afterwards at our stand for a glass of bubbly to celebrate the launch at our stand (LB123). Riders, sponsors, team manager and CTC Chief Executive, Gordon Seabright, will be at the CTC stand and available for interview, comments and pictures. Find out more about Team CTC.

The research is published in the February 4, 2014, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The research shows that certain pesticides that inhibit an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) are related to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. The enzyme plays a role in detoxifying substances in cells, along with metabolism of alcohol. The study also found that people with a variant of the ALDH gene were two to five times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease with exposure to these pesticides than people who did not have that gene variant. "These results show that ALDH inhibition appears to be an important mechanism through which pesticides may contribute to the development of Parkinson's disease," said study author Jeff M. Bronstein, MD, PhD, of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Greater Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. "Understanding this mechanism may reveal several potential targets for preventing the disease from occurring or reducing its progression."
The study involved 360 people with Parkinson's disease in three rural California counties who were compared to 816 people in the area who did not have the disease. Researchers looked at participants' exposure to pesticides at work and at home using a geographic computer model based on information from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. The researchers developed a test to identify which pesticides inhibited ALDH. The 11 pesticides that inhibited ALDH, all used in farming, fell into four structural classes—dithiocarbamates, imidazoles, dicarboxymides and organochlorides.
Exposure to an ALDH-inhibiting pesticide at both the workplace and at home was associated with increased risks of developing Parkinson's disease, ranging from 65 percent for the pesticide benomyl to six times the risk for the pesticide dieldrin. People who were exposed to three or more of the pesticides at both work and home were 3.5 times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease as those who were not exposed. Bronstein noted that the relationship between the gene variant and Parkinson's only appeared when people had been exposed to the pesticides. "In other words, having this gene variant alone does not make you more likely to develop Parkinson's," he said. "Parkinson's is a disease that in many cases may require both genetics and environmental factors to arise." Bronstein said the findings provide several possible targets for lowering Parkinson's risk, including reducing exposure to pesticides and improving the functioning of ALDH.
The study was supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Veterans Administration Healthcare System, Michael J. Fox Foundation, Levine Foundation and Parkinson Alliance. To learn more about Parkinson's disease, please visit www.aan.com/patients.

That Jesus...A real son of a gun.
Then we might end up with a big shortage of priests and ministers (and youth pastors - seems almost synonymous with sexual predator).
From the above OP:
" "Self-defense is not just a right, but a Christian duty. Jesus told his followers, 'if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one,'" said Cass. "Christians are not to be a soft target for the hateful and deranged. Church leaders have a duty not to allow a crazed gunman to come and shoot up their congregation. "
I suppose this means we've concluded our discussion regarding the sixth commandment. I don't know why it bothers me that it is increasingly iterpreted as "thou shalt not murder", rather than "thou shalt not kill". I don't have time to look this up right now so maybe someone knowledgeable could tell me if the wording in the original documents is correctly interpreted as "murder" rather than "kill".
Maybe because we're such a litigious society we needed a loophole. Going back further, to the old testament, there is "murder" and there is genocidal killing with cause which, even though you were the only one who heard the booming voice, means you've been given the green light by the big guy to wipe out your enemy. This works especially well if you're one of the chosen ones. Of course the dead couldn't be chosen because well...they're dead, right?
Maybe this was why I was hesitant to go halfway around the world to attack Iraq. Doesn't that kind of pre-emptive attack require a premeditation that implies murder? Hmm...just what does "turn the other cheek" mean anyway? Not that I run my life that way, I'm just confused by chicken hawk theists.
Hilarious to think of pastors packing guns! They might get the donation plates filled faster.
You make so many excellent points it's hard to choose. But by that last paragraph, shouldn't christians be carrying swords, not guns? JesusNinja!
What a bunch of baloney. So illogical in their thinking. So god is not in their church and pack a gun. What crap. I think they are just making up excuses.
Gabrielle Giffords today pointed out in an op-ed piece in USA Today that as long as the NRA holds Congress as a captive agency with $100M of lobbying money, it is not suprising that a Federal judge and one of their own (her) and several others could be gunned down two yeas ago today, sixteen other mass shootings since then, and still Congress does nothing.
So she is forming an organisation (with her own money) to counter the NRA's lobbying presence in Congress. She points out that as long as the NRA is the largest lobby group in America nothing will change, regardless of what the people actually want.

The UEFA European Under-19 Championship consists of three distinct stages: the qualifying round, the elite round and the final tournament.
Qualifying round
The qualifying round, played in autumn, is made up of 13 groups of four teams playing in one-venue mini-tournaments. The top two from each progress.
Elite round
In the elite round, played in the spring, those 26 qualifiers join the top two seeds, given a bye, in seven mini-tournament groups of four. The group winners then join the hosts in the finals.
Final tournament
The seven qualifiers plus the hosts are split into two groups of four who play each other once, with the top two progressing to the semi-finals. The winners of those ties contest the final.
Further details, including the criteria for separating teams that finish level on points in a group, or after extra time in a match, can be found in the official competition regulations.

NEW YORK — Once again, Brandon McCarthy did a pretty nifty imitation of Masahiro Tanaka.
McCarthy pitched a four-hitter and the New York Yankees, trying to claw closer in the AL wild-card chase, avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Houston Astros 3-0 on Aug. 21.
McCarthy improved to 5-2 with a 1.90 ERA in eight starts since the Yankees got him from Arizona in an early July trade. His first outing for New York came a day after Tanaka, off to an All-Star start as a major league rookie, pitched his last game before an elbow tear put him on the disabled list.
"He's been really, really good," Yankees Manager Joe Girardi praised. Maybe a bit of a surprise, too, considering McCarthy was 3-10 with a 5.01 ERA for the Diamondbacks.
"We knew he was a better pitcher than his numbers indicated," Girardi said.
McCarthy outpitched Dallas Keuchel (10-9) as they both threw complete games without a walk — the game took only 2 hours, 7 minutes. McCarthy said his "pitch mix is better" since joining the Yankees, fueling his confidence.
"In Arizona, I'm not getting out of jams, not performing well, and it starts to roll," he said.
New York won for just the third time in 10 games. Chase Headley hit an early two-run double and the Yankees backed McCarthy with flawless fielding.
The Yankees' fans also made fine plays — sitting in the first row behind the Houston dugout, comedian Chris Rock wound up with a foul ball off the bat of Astros rookie Jon Singleton, and he gave the souvenir to a young boy as the crowd cheered.
McCarthy struck out eight in his fourth career shutout and first this season. The Yankees had been shut out in McCarthy's previous two starts.
Keuchel gave up seven hits and struck out five. "I feel like I pitched just as good as McCarthy, but he was better today," Keuchel said.
This was the first nine-inning game where each pitcher threw a complete game without a walk since July 17, 2010, when Mark Buehrle of the White Sox and Carl Pavano of the Twins did it, STATS said.
The Astros had won three in a row overall. They were trying to become the first team to come into Yankee Stadium at least 20 games under .500 and sweep a series of three games or more since Milwaukee did it to close the 1972 season, STATS said.
The Yankees took a 3-0 lead in the second when a double by Martin Prado set up Headley's two-run double. Prado and Headley were the only two Yankees starters to previously hit against Keuchel.
Ichiro Suzuki added a sacrifice fly later in the inning.
Dexter Fowler hit a broken-bat double in the Houston fourth — the barrel reached the infield dirt, the ball two-hopped off the right-field wall — that put runners at second and third.
Marc Krauss followed with a hard grounder off McCarthy's leg and, after taking a moment to locate the ball on the grass, the lanky pitcher zipped a throw to first that ended the threat.
McCarthy escaped another second-and-third jam in the seventh when Singleton struck out — right after hitting a foul pop to the third-base side that Rock recovered — and retiring Carlos Corporan on a flyball.
