The following letter is published in the 1-9-07 Tomahawk Leader:
To the Editor,
I am writing this letter about a very controversial subject. It is in regard to the smoking at Bingo at SARA Park. There should be no smoking at all in any public buildings. Shame on the leaders of our city for not passing and enforcing the no-smoking ordinance.
We all know the effects of secondhand smoke and it's killing us all. Some say it will hurt the Harley weekend. I don't think so. There are thousands of Harley people that would welcome clean air to breathe.
It would be such an easy thing to fix. Play five games of Bingo, take a five minute smoke break, five more games, five minute break, etc. No 15 minute intermission.
The food that is sold is right next to smoking section, so gets contaminated also.
I hope you will do the right thing and get it corrected before regular Bingo starts in May.
Thank you for printing this.
Virginia Hopseker
Clearwater, Fla.
Smokefree Bingo …

Re: Smokefree Bingo …
Since when does living in Florida qualify someone to tell the people of Tomahawk what the cities policies should be. After all, they haven't figured out how voting machines work.

Re: Smokefree Bingo …
let's get real here. Smoking should not be allowed in a public building regardless. What does it matter where you are from in regards to sharing your opinion? Actually, if I am not mistaken, Hopsekers have lived in this area for sometime. (Summer and/or winter residents) Bottom line is, smoking in a public setting is just wrong!
Re: Smokefree Bingo …
I am a smoker but would not think of smoking in a public place..If you can't do without a cig for an hour or so stay home. I am sure you could go out side to smoke.

Victoria was great with my two sons aged 3 and 9. From the minute she arrived the children were at ease with her and it felt like we had known her for ages. My kids would love to see her again and she will definitely remain our preferred sitter. My husband and I had a lovely evening out knowing the boys were being well cared for. It's my first time using sitters and I was very aprehensive initially but within 5 minutes of Victoria arriving I knew we had made the right decision by booking Victoria. She's friendly, extremely confident with the kids and very professional.
Snjezana was our first sitter using sitters. We had always left our son (6 years old) with family but as none are local we were loosing out on time as a couple. Snjezana was amazing. As soon as she arrived she focused her attention onto my son and he clearly felt comfortable with her as went off straight away. She settled him into bed while we were out and made sure he was happy. The next day he was asking when she is coming again. I cant praise her highly enough. Will definitely be enquiring for her to sit for us again.
Louise is fantastic! Usually my 3 year old son sleeps soundly and is no bother, however unfortunately last night he woke up and was sick in his bed. Louise called me, and of course I rushed home expecting to find at the very least a very upset child. But when I came home, my son was sitting in a clean bed, with clean pyjamas, reading a story calmly with Louise who had managed the whole situation brilliantly, got him cleaned up, found new sheets etc. I can't thank her enough for being so calm, practical and kind.

Just weeks before James Holmes allegedly opened fire on an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, he failed a key oral exam and bought one of the high-powered rifles police eventually found after the shooting.
Holmes failed his exam on June 7 and ultimately dropped out of the University of Colorado — Denver's prestigious neuroscience doctoral program three days later, ABC News reported Wednesday.
Police believe Holmes opened fire early Friday on a theater full of people attending the midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises." He allegedly shot 71 people, ultimately killing 12.
And now experts are scrambling to figure out if Holmes' exam failure prompted the attack.
"All of those things could actually make dormant schizophrenia come out, and come out relatively quickly," psychologist Marisa Randazzo told ABC News, indicating Holmes may have suffered some sort of mental break.
During his first court appearance Monday, Holmes, who sported bright orange hair, often appeared dazed and glassy-eyed. The judge gave prosecutors one week to formally file charges in the case.
Hours later, law enforcement released Holmes' official mug shot. He had the same vacant expression as he did in court.

Big debate tonight – the first one since Newt reached front-runner status, and the super committee called it quits. Tonight's topic is national security. So, expect lots of questions regarding whether automatic cuts to defense are acceptable, and whether Obama should veto alternatives plans to minimize those cuts. It's also an opportunity to see whether Mitt takes the mitts off and goes after Newt, or continues to play the "I'm the frontrunner and can focus on Obama" strategy. And how does Rick Perry regain his mojo?
As always, feel free to join in.
Wolf Blitzer is our host. We love his beard.
They are promising a new, interactive format tonight. Let's see if the sparks fly.
Notice the new seating arrangement – Newt now has a coveted middle podium.
The national anthem – look, Rick Perry forgot the third stanza! (That was a joke!)
Let's see how many points each candidate can make while introducing themselves.
Perry starts out strong, remembering his wife's name, and when they had their first date.
Cain's introduction is rather flat – our national security has been downgraded? It's not a credit rating!
Bachmann's shout out to the soldiers is the best of the bunch so far.
And they are off.
Opening question to Newt regarding amending the Patriot Act, and he makes the distinction between criminal law and national security "law". Wolf gives Paul the opportunity to disagree.
On cue, Paul frames the issue as giving up liberty for security.
Newt slaps him down, with a serious kick to the head, in effect saying Paul would let the Tim McVeigh's of the world do their dastardly deed. You go, Newt!
Paul is undeterred. We can be completely safe -by completely giving up liberty. And they are off.
Bachmann has a nice applause line "outsourcing interrogation to the ACLU". No Republican likes the ACLU.
Huntsman plays the U.S. values card, and emphasizes federalism.
Mitt has an opportunity to knock Newt – but instead he gives Newt his props for recognizing the difference between criminal acts and war.
Perry would outsource pat downs by privatizing the TSA. He's critical of the failure to spend on intelligence.
Uh oh. I just heard Santorum say you need to profile younger Muslim males. and the audience applauds. This is the way to build bridges to the Muslim community. cue Cain!
(boy, his stock has fallen – he's the last guy to get a question!)
Wolf won't let Cain get off without taking a stand on profiling. (Did he call Wolf "Blitz"?) Cain rejects the simplistic choice Wolf lays out.
Kagan is a national security specialist, hence the drone question.
Why does Huntsman always talk like his audience is composed of children? And has he answered Kagan's question yet? Ah, finally: "We need special forces and drones". The cheap man's way to fight terrorism. Low cost.
Once again, Bachmann shows her foreign policy chops. Remember, she's on the House Intelligence committee. Her response – to keep up aid to Pakistan – will certainly spark a food fight. How will Perry respond?
He sticks to his cut off aid to Pakistan script. This sparked a real division among the candidates during the last debate. Let's see if Gingrich weighs in – last time he backed Perry on this issue, which I thought was somewhat surprising.
Perry advocates something new – a regional trade agreement involving the Pakistan-India region, but I'm not quite sure where he's going here, and Wolf doesn't follow up.
Mitt sides with Bachmann, for the most part, in arguing to use aid to leverage Pakistan into "modernity". Not sure why anyone is worried about America's popularity in Pakistan (we are at 12%!).
Where's Newt on this issue? Instead we get Huntsman, who gets another chance to push his drawdown in Afghanistan policy and nation building back at home. Romney is aghast – the commanders on the ground want us to slow down the U.S. withdrawal. Romney stands with the brass – take that, you peacenik Huntsman!
You know Newt is waiting to jump in with a smart, pithy provocative comment.
Santorum is off camera, ready to explode. He's the Incredible Hulk – you don't want to get him mad!
Ah, Newt steps in and, on cue, blames Wolf for bad questions! Then – boom – his seven-point plan for restoring sanity to our terrorist policy. Biggest applause of the night! Newt sounds so confident that it's easy to swallow his talking points without scrutinizing them.
It really seems as if Huntsman and Paul are the outliers on the Afghan/Pakistan nation.
First Break
Some sharp exchanges, no new ground broken, and no mishaps either, unless you count Santorum's ringing endorsement of profiling Muslims. It's really hard, after 11 debates, for the candidates to change the media narrative very much here. So far, I don't see much change in the national pecking order as result of the first 45 minutes here. Let's see if the audience questions stirs the pot.
Part II.
Great opening question – should we help Israel attack Iran to eliminate nuclear weapons? Question goes to Cain. As always, he would consult with his experts. Surprise – if he thinks the plan would succeed, he'd back it. Going out on a limb, aren't you Herman?
Paul says "it's none of our business" if Israel wants to bomb Iran. Sometimes you can push this libertarian thing a bit too far.
Not clear to me why Iran's mountainous terrain mitigates against an Israeli strike, but Herman is on a roll. He wants to talk Afghanistan, but Wolf is bored. Back to nukes and Iran.
Stop the presses! Newt praises a question from Wolf! Newt wants to talk strategy, not tactics. Not quite sure what the difference is, but Newt lays out the hierarchy of policy options. Both Newt and Bachmann are for oil independence. Oh, by the way, Obama is an appeaser.
Wow, this is an allstar lineup of neocons asking questions. Here's Paul Wolfowitz! He tosses Rick Santorum a softball about aid to Africa, and Rick doesn't miss.
How about it, Herman – can we afford aid to other nations? Herman: it depends. (He's going to consult his experts, I bet). Aid is good if it works, but if it doesn't, it is bad. Foreign policy really isn't Cain's strong suit.
Paul is pulling his best cranky uncle impression, railing against foreign aid.
Romney turns it around to defense cuts – I was wondering when this would come up. Paul's not buying it – nothing is going to be cut. (Much applause).
Mitt is passionate about aid to Israel! If elected, his first foreign trip will be to Israel.
Newt goes on another strategy rant again. It sounds so easy when Newt spews out his talking points.
Wolf tries to pin him down – will he bomb to prevent Iran going nuclear. Newt: yes, but only as a last resort, and as a means of changing regimes.
What is it about Huntsman that makes it so hard for Republicans to like him? Thoughts?
Ok, first question on the supercommittee, and it goes to Perry – this should be fun! It's of the "when did you stop beating your wife," variety. Perry decides to answer a different question – Wolf asks if he would work with Democrats. Perry instead attacks Obama for….for what, exactly? Not quite sure – I think he's referencing Obama's veto threat. And he calls out Panetta – the point is so hard to follow that Wolf seems not to get what Perry is saying. Neither does the audience.
Wolf goes back to the question (working across party lines to reduce the deficit), and Perry uses it to tout his making Congress a part-time body. Again, no audience response. Wolf wants someone to step up and say they would make a deal with Democrats for a deficit reduction package. It's a silly question because everyone will say "It depends".
Another supercommittee question, and a good one: what entitlement reform proposal would they make. Tailor-made for Newt. Let's see his response. He touts the Chile privatization program. Democrat opposition team are taking notes for the general election. Newt says reform can be done without imposing pain. If only it was that easy.
Bachmann goes back to the debt ceiling debate, and pushes the balanced budget amendment again. (Hint, Michelle: it just got voted down by your own House).
Lots of well-dressed people in this audience. Good Republicans, no doubt.
(@jahd – tweet! I barely have time to blog! If you catch me tweeting, you have permission to shoot me.)
(@Will – Agreed. No More Promises to Lead. Also, can we stipulate that everyone on the panel agrees that Obama's been a disaster, and spare the anti-Obama tirades? It would save a lot of time.)
Ok, we are back. Another well-dressed questioner. Let's get a domestic border question. This is an obvious question for Perry. He has to have an answer teed up for this.
He does – a 21st century "Monroe Doctrine". Had Perry come prepared with these talking points when he first launched his candidacy, he'd be leading. More than any other candidate, he proposed the most far-reaching policy proposals in the last few weeks: an amateur Congress, a Monroe doctrine, zeroing out foreign aid, even debating Nancy Pelosi. All easily grasped, crowd-pleasing, media attractive talking points. He just keeps rolling them out. But so far, not much to show for them.
(@Conrad – It's not clear to me that Huntsman's nuanced talking points are gaining him traction with voters. He's basically trailing the pack, although he has shown signs of life in New Hampshire. But if you are right, why does he not pick up support among the voters?)
Here's a question – is Wolf really that short, or is it all the camera angle?
And how do they decide who to isolate on when they go to a split picture view?
Ok, here's Newt on immigration. Remember, he backed an early immigration bill that included a version of amnesty, which will almost certainly will come up. The fact is, Newt has a very moderate views on immigration – this is his potential achilles heel. He's really very moderate on lots of issues and it is only a matter of time before the second-tier Republicans like Bachmann begin calling him on this.
And she does – and Newt actually criticizes another Republican! He embraces elements of the Dream act, and chastises Bachmann for draconian views on the topic. She turns the table well here by essentially saying Newt's immigration policy attracts illegal immigrants. Let's be clear here, Newt's moderate views on immigration do not sit well with the Republican base. Mitt piles on here.
The first open attack on Newt. Let's see how he responds. And Newt doubles down on allowing illegal immigrants with strong community ties to stay in this country. This is a courageous – or foohardy (or both) position to take in a Republican nominating fight.
Newt is standing alone here – Perry sides with Mitt against "amnesty". It is going to be really interesting to see whether the media, in their desire to create controversy, fastens on this difference as the takeaway point of this debate. Fact is, Newt's stance, while "humane" is also one easy to characterize as "amnesty" which sends up huge red flags for Republican voters. Trying to finesse this issue, as George Bush discovered, is a bit like claiming to be a little bit pregnant. No one buys it.
part IV.
Another well-dressed neocon questioner. How to handle Syria? Cain – please don't tell me you'll consult with your experts! He doesn't, to his credit. Instead, he turns to discuss economic growth, and says he will reject Perry's idea for a no fly zone – but doesn't say why not.
The "no fly" zone Perry is proposing is another of his recent policy proposals that are both catchy and crowd friendly ideas.
(The problem with Huntsman, I think, is that he has asymmetric eyebrows. No one likes asymmetric facial features. Unless it's on John Belushi).
How will Paul deal with an Al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia. Paul uses the question to attack Perry's no fly zone (it's an act of war). Paul's foreign policy is really stolen from Dear Abby: MYOB!
(Does anyone remember Dear Abby?)
Mitt continues to focus on attacking President Obama – not his fellow Republicans. Wolf tries to pin him down – does he support Perry's no fly zone? Romney says no – he wants a "no drive" zone. Syria is using tanks on citizens, not planes.
Perry – let's get Serious about Syria. Say that three times fast.
Great final question: future hotspots?
Santorum: spread of socialism in Central America. Shades of Reagan! Before you know it, those socialists will be crossing the Rio Grande.
Paul: Avoid overreaction. (translation: Mind Your Own Business!) The Taliban are just like us!
Perry: How to deal with Communist China? They are destined for the ash heap of history.
Romney: Long-term China, short term Iran, but don't forget our borders.
Cain: did you know he was a ballistics analyst? He's worried about cyber terrorism.
Gingrich: nukes in cities, electromagnetic pulse, cyber attack.
Bachmann: losing the peace in Iraq. And the threat of terrorism in the U.S.
Huntsman: Joblessness. It's called….etc…….
And that's it! Two hours and I can say there were no clear winners or losers. Let's see what the spinmeisters declare.
Good performances by all. Maybe Huntsman did particularly well, while Cain was not so impressive. But the immigration issue will probably lead the news, with Newt getting singled out. Otherwise Gingrich was strong, as always. Perry also did well. Santorum and Bachmann also impressed. Really, this was a good debate with no obvious gaffes. But the media has to have a talking point, and that is likely to be the Gingrich "amnesty" proposal.
This is one of those issues that will play well for Gingrich in the general election, especially among Latinos, but it may cost him support in the Republican nominating fight.
Summary: I don't think anything happened here tonight that will change the current pecking order, unless there's an unusually heavy backlash against Gingrich for his amnesty policy. But this doesn't mean the debate wasn't informative – it was. Clear differences emerged among the candidate, although they have much in common as well. In the end, however, this isn't a foreign policy election, so I tend to think debates that focus on national security issues tend to have less impact on the race than do debates on domestic economic issues. At best, these debates are useful for helping voters assess whether they can envision these individuals as commander in chief. With the possible exception of Cain and perhaps Paul, I think all of candidates pass the smell test in this regard. In this regard, Gingrich has already passed the first test that previous co-leaders Bachmann, Cain and Perry failed – he didn't immediately fumble his lead away in the first debate after achieving front-runner status. (I'm assuming there's not a wholesale backlash against him for the amnesty comment.)
Six weeks and counting to Iowa.
Ok, I'll be on tomorrow – there's lots of other issues to talk about, and I'll try to get to them as well.

The Voice's original coaches reunite before Season 5 (WITH VIDEO)
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The vibe was mellow, the feeling warm and the spirit willing as Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine hugged it out in a weekend reunion of three of the four original coach-mentors on The Voice.
Television's most absorbing, unpredictable singing competition doesn't return with a new season until September, but the three seemingly incompatible singing artists — frontman of the pop-rock band Maroon 5, a Latin-influenced soul diva and a hip-hop rap-and-soul artist — were determined to renew old acquaintances, even if the absence of Blake Shelton, mentor of the past season's Voice winner, 16-year-old country newcomer Danielle Bradbery, was keenly felt.
Some have dismissed The Voice for not producing a bona fide music star in its four seasons to date, but there are signs Bradbery may be about to change that. This past week, the small-town Texas high-school junior, who reportedly never performed before a big crowd before her mother talked into auditioning for The Voice, posted her highest debut so far on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
Bradbery's radio-promoted single The Heart of Dixie debuted at No. 16 on the Country Songs, according to Nielsen Soundscan, with 78,000 downloads and climbing — not bad for a young, up-and-coming performer who won't graduate from high school until 2015, and who had never taken a single vocal lesson until Shelton and his country-artist wife Miranda Lambert took Bradbery under their wing.
Shelton, the Country Music Association's 2012 Entertainer and Male Vocalist of the Year, picked Bradbery out-of-the-blue, judging her on her voice alone, during The Voice's blind audition phase. The Voice is unique in that singers perform on stage with the judges' backs turned to them. The show's judges choose who to mentor based on hearing the voice, and the voice alone.
Shelton's picks have gone on to win three of The Voice's four seasons so far.
"I understand I'm coming back to the 'Blake Shelton Show' at this point," Aguilera said wryly.
Levine returns for his fifth season as a coach-mentor this fall. Aguilera and Green will return to The Voice after a single season's absence, to accommodate performing tours. Their replacements Shakira and Usher will return for The Voice's sixth season, in 2014.
The Voice's rotating panel of judges has proven surprisingly stable, even as the judging panels on rival music programs American Idol and The X Factor have been wracked with turmoil.
Aguilera insisted the competition with Shelton is friendly, and that the frequent jabs and barbs are in jest.
"He's, like, 'I'm so glad you re-signed your contract with me,'" Aguilera said, affecting Shelton's Oklahoma accent. "It's hilarious. We laugh all day about it."
The Voice's personable vibe has elevated it above the unseemly bickering that has become a signature of other TV talent competitions, and viewers have responded accordingly. The Voice has seen its ratings steadily climb, even as the other programs' numbers have faded.
"I think we all agree that it's the contestants that win at the end of the day and not us," Aguilera said.
Vince Lombardi got it wrong, Levine insisted, when the legendary football coach famously said, "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing."
"Obviously, winning is the end goal when you're on The Voice," Levine said. "For me, though, it's amazing to just work with these people and help them get to wherever they're going. At whatever point in the competition they go home, they'll go home with all these amazing experiences, based on things we've experienced in our own careers and handed down to them.
"Winning is great — don't get me wrong. I hate it that Blake has won three in a row. But winning isn't always the point. As long as we do our jobs and teach these singers what we know and be honest about it and help them along, we win. We've been very lucky in our careers. It's a fun show to be a part of. I don't think any of us really cares, deep down, if we 'win' or 'lose.' I think it's more about preparing the people on our teams for what's ahead of them, and have a great experience while doing it."
Some of The Voice's most vocal fans are in front of the camera, on the judges' panel, and not just watching from home, Levine added.
"We love this show. We're huge fans of this show. All of us. We wouldn't do it if we weren't."
Levine said he's not losing sleep over the fact that The Voice has yet to break a top-selling star.
"It would be nice if we were to launch a huge star," Levine said. "A lot of things have to fall into place for that to happen, though. The goal of the show is to do what we can for these amazing singers while they're on the show, to get somebody out in front so they can win. We all know that the lightning-in-a-bottle you need to capture to be successful in this business is extraordinarily difficult.
"It would be really amazing if that happened. The fact that it hasn't happened yet doesn't seem like a shortcoming of the show. It just seems like something that hasn't happened yet."
The Voice returns in September, to NBC in the U.S. and CTV in Canada.

Parents Arrested When Students Skip School
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
The law says that all children must go to school. It is a parent's responsibility to send their children to school. If a child does not go to school, the parent could get into some big trouble.
One county said that they have 90 parents that have failed to send their children to school on a regular basis. These children have had at least 30 unexcused absences. This is against the law. The police will visit these families.
Many parents will be arrested. They will face charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. They could be sent to jail for up to a year and be fined $2,500.
The parents that will be arrested have been talked to many times before. They have been told that they need to make sure their kids go to school. Now they will see that the school and the police are very serious.

Re: Happy Easter - 2009
it doesn't mean he likes Reeses...
it's just a humourous picture.
anyway, hersheys in really good too. My stepdad brought some home from NY, when he was on work duty over another country, and it said that you could buy two hershey bars for one $
which I thought was pretty gid stuff.
cadbury's is the best. It's british, second it's galaxy, third it's milka, fourth it's hersheys
( in my opinion, but they all rock! )

Although many industries have used induction heating for decades, it's a newcomer to industrial and construction applications involving welding. Preheating before welding and stress-relieving (i.e. post-heating) after welding are the new uses for induction heating, and companies with welding-intensive operations have significantly increased efficiency as a result.
Many welding applications require welding preheat, which minimizes the temperature difference between the arc and the base material. This process involves heating the base material — or at least the area surrounding the weld joint — to a specific temperature prior to welding. When preheat is required, the minimum preheat temperature is part of the welding procedure specification (WPS). Preheating helps slow the weld cooling rate and lowers hydrogen — two factors that help reduce the risk of cracking.
Induction technology was traditionally used in many other heating applications — including soldering, brazing, surface hardening, tempering, bonding, melting and forging — and it is increasingly being used in welding applications. It can save significant time and deliver greater efficiency and temperature consistency when the job calls for welding preheat and post-heat.
Induction heating systems employ non-contact heating. They induce heat electromagnetically rather than using a heating element in contact with a part to conduct heat, as does resistance heating.
In an industrial example of induction heating, heat is induced in the part by placing it in a high-frequency magnetic field. The magnetic field creates eddy currents inside the part, exciting the part's molecules and generating heat. Because heating occurs slightly below the metal surface, no heat is wasted.
Induction heating's similarity to resistance heating is that conduction is required to heat through the section or part. The only difference is the source of heat and the temperatures of the tool. The induction process heats within the part and the resistance process heats on the surface of the part. Depth of heating depends on the frequency. High frequency (e.g., 50 kilohertz), heats close to the surface, while low frequency (e.g., 60 hertz) penetrates deeper into the part, placing the heating source up to 3 millimeters deep, allowing heating of thicker parts. The induction coil does not heat-up because the conductor is large for the current being carried. In other words, the coil does not need to heat-up to heat the workpiece.
Induction heating systems can be air- or liquid-cooled depending on application requirements. A key component common to both systems is the induction coil used to generate heat within the part.
A typical air-cooled system consists of a power source (5 kilowatts or 25 kilowatts), induction blanket and associated cables. The induction blanket consists of an induction coil surrounded by insulation and sewn into a high temperature, replaceable Kevlar sleeve. This type of induction system can include a controller to monitor and automatically control temperature. A system not equipped with a controller requires the use of a temperature indicator. The system could also include a remote on-off switch. Air-cooled systems can be used for applications up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, designating it as a preheat only system.
Because liquid cools more efficiently than air, this type of induction heating system can be used for applications requiring higher temperatures, such as high-temperature preheating and stress relieving. The principle differences are the addition of a water cooler and the use of a flexible liquid-cooled hose that houses the induction coil. Liquid-cooled systems also generally use a temperature controller and built-in temperature recorder, particularly important components in stress relieving applications. The typical stress relieving procedure requires a step to 600-800 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a ramp or controlled temperature rise to a soak temperature of approximately 1,250 degrees. After a hold time, the part is control-cooled to between 600-800 degrees. The temperature recorder collects data on the part's actual temperature profile based on a thermocouple input, a QA requirement for stress relieving applications. The actual procedure will be determined by the type of work and the applicable code.
The majority of pipe welds completed in fabrication shops are rolled, and it's easy to understand why. Rotating pipe while welding provides many benefits, including ease of achieving quality welds by eliminating out-of-position welding; reduced welder fatigue; and improved productivity from higher wire feed speeds and increased deposition rates.
Preheating pipe is also a common practice that helps reduce the potential for a failed weld. It's necessary for meeting code or quality requirements when the pipe is chrome alloy, more than 1-inch thick or stored in environments colder than 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The ProHeat™ 35 Induction Heating System with Rolling Inductor is an innovative way to preheat work pieces — from moving parts to plates and pipes. It is easy to use, saves money, greatly reduces setup time and allows welders to spend more time welding while creating a safer work environment. It can also be used in automated applications, for example in front of a submerged arc torch. It delivers fast, consistent heat up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit/315 degrees Celsius.
Compared to conventional preheating and stress relieving methods, induction heating offers numerous advantages, including improved heat uniformity and quality, reduced cycle times, and lower consumables costs. Induction heating is also safe, reliable and easy to use, and it scores higher than alternative technologies in power efficiency and versatility.
Induction heating is not particularly sensitive to coil placement or spacing. Generally, the coils should be evenly spaced and centered on the weld joint. On systems so-equipped, a temperature controller can establish the power requirement in an analog fashion, providing just enough power to maintain the temperature profile. The power source provides power during the entire process.
The induction method of welding preheat and stress relieving provides significantly quicker time-to-temperature. On thicker applications, such as high-pressure steam lines, induction heating can slash two hours from cycle time. It is conceivable to reduce cycle time from the control temperature to soak temperature. When combined with other usability factors, it is not uncommon to expect a 50 percent total cycle time reduction.
The insulation used in induction heating is easy to attach to workpieces and can be reused many times. Conversely, ceramic fiber insulation used in resistance heating can be used only once or twice before it has to be discarded, requiring a large inventory of insulation and incurring significant costs for disposal of potentially hazardous material. In addition, in comparison to resistance system components, induction coils are robust and don't require fragile wire or ceramic materials. Also, because the induction coils and connectors don't operate at high temperatures, they are not subject to degradation, as are ceramic heating pads.
A major benefit of induction preheating and stress relieving is its simplicity, which contributes to easy use. Insulation and cables are simple to install, usually taking less than 15 minutes. Miller Electric Mfg. Co. LLC shown boilermakers and pipefitters how to use the induction equipment with just one day of training.
Welding preheat and stress relieving through the induction method is extremely worker-friendly. Induction heating does not require hot heating elements or connectors. Very little airborne particulate is associated with the insulation blankets, and the insulation itself is not exposed to temperatures over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause insulation to break down into dust.
One of the most important factors impacting productivity in stress relieving is not interrupting the cycle. In most instances, cycle interruption means the heat treat will need to be re-run, which is significant when a thermal cycle can take a day to complete. The induction heating system components make cycle interruptions unlikely. The cabling for induction is simple, making it less likely to fail. Also, no contactors are used to control the heat input to the part.
The Miller® induction system was originally designed for preheating and stress relieving of pipe. Now, users of induction heating systems have adapted the process for weldolets, elbows, valves and other parts. One of the aspects of induction heating that makes it attractive for complex shapes is the ability to adjust the coils during the heating process to accommodate unique parts and heat sinks. The operator can start the process, determine the effects of the heating process in real time and modify the coil position to change the result. Lastly, the induction cables can be moved without waiting for air cooling at the end of the cycle.
Miller manufactures induction heating systems for welding applications, and has proven its technology on a number of projects, including oil and gas pipelines, construction, and maintenance and repair of mining equipment. Summaries of various projects are presented below.
A North American oil pipeline maintenance operation had used a combination of propane torches and electrical resistance to heat pipe before welding encirclement repair sleeves or STOPPLE fittings to the pipeline's 48-inch girth. While many repairs could be made without having to stop oil flow or drain it from the pipe, the presence of the crude itself hampered welding efficiency due to the heat sink effect of the flowing oil. Propane torches required constant interruption of welding to maintain heat, while resistance heating — which provided continuous heat — often couldn't meet required weld temperatures.
The maintenance company turned to induction heating as a solution. On encirclement sleeve repairs, two 25-kilowatt systems were employed with parallel blankets to obtain a preheat temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, cycle time was reduced from eight to 12 hours to four hours per girth weld. Preheating for a STOPPLE fitting (a T junction with valve) repair had been even more challenging due to the fitting's greater wall thickness. With induction heating however, the company used four 25-kilowatt systems with a paralleled blanket set up. Two systems were used on each side of the T junction. One system was used on the mainline to preheat the oil and the second was used to preheat the T at the circumferential weld joint. The preheat temperature was 125 degrees Fahrenheit. The weld time was reduced from 12 to 18 hours to seven hours per girth weld.
A natural gas pipeline construction project entailed building a 36-inch diameter, .633-inch pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to Chicago. On one spread of this pipeline, the welding contractor used two 25-kilowatt power sources mounted on a tractor with the induction blankets attached to booms for speed and convenience. The power sources were used to preheat both sides of the pipe joint. Critical to this process was speed and reliable temperature control. As alloy content increases in materials to reduce weight and weld time and to increase part life, controlling preheat temperatures becomes more critical. In this induction heating application, it required less than three minutes to obtain the 250 degrees Fahrenheit preheat temperature, versus approximately five minutes using traditional preheating methods. In addition, temperature uniformity and operator safety were improved.
A heavy equipment manufacturer often welds adapter teeth onto its loader bucket edges. Previously, the tack welded assembly was moved back and forth to a large furnace, requiring the welder to wait while the part was reheated repeatedly. The manufacturer opted to try induction heating to preheat the assembly to prevent movement of the product. The material is 4 inches thick with a high required preheat temperature due to alloy content. Miller worked with the customer to develop customized induction blankets to meet the application requirements. The insulation and coil design provided the added benefit of shielding the operator from the part's radiant heat. Overall, operations were considerably more efficient, reducing welding time and maintaining temperature throughout the welding process.
A mine had been experiencing cold cracking problems and preheating inefficiency using propane heaters in its repair operations of mining equipment. Welders had to remove a conventional insulating blanket from the thick part frequently to apply heat and keep the part at the correct temperature. The mine opted to try induction heating using flat, air-cooled blankets to preheat the parts before welding. The induction process applied heat to the part quickly. It also could be used continuously during the welding process. Weld repair time was reduced by 50 percent. In addition, the power source was equipped with a temperature controller to keep the part at the target temperature. This virtually eliminated rework due to cold cracking. The customer reported an annual savings of $80,000.
A power plant builder was constructing a natural gas power facility in California. Boilermakers and pipefitters had been experiencing construction delays due to the preheating and stress relieving methods they were employing on the plant's steam lines. One of the biggest problems on this job was reliability of the electrical resistance equipment, which suffered from contactor and connector failures and broken wires on the heating pads during stress relieving. Extensive rework as a result, combined with long heating cycles, was delaying construction significantly. The company brought in induction heating technology in an attempt to increase efficiency, particularly for work on medium-to-large steam lines, as these pieces take the most heat-treating time required on a job site.
On a typical 16-inch weldolet with a 2-inch wall thickness, resistance preheating and stress relieving used to take five and a half hours to complete. Induction heating was able to shave two hours off the time-to-temperature (600 degrees Fahrenheit) and another hour to reach soak temperature (600 to 1,350 degrees Fahrenheit) for stress relieving. The simplicity of wrapping the induction blankets around complex shapes further reduced the time to perform the heat treat. It took the fitters 15 minutes to wrap a joint that would have required two workers two hours to prepare using a resistance set up.

There is a couple of ways to determine child support for the children of the married.
1. You have the option to agree on an amount for child support. We will prepare the documents with the child support amount ordered in an amount agreeable between the parents. As long as the amount of child support is reasonable, the court will usually order the amount that you and your spouse agree upon for child support. It is vary rare that the Court will intervene and change an amount for child support when you both agree.
2. You can request that the Court award child support pursuant to the Alberta child support guidelines. The child support will either be an amount you and your spouse agree upon, or it will be determined for you by the court, according to the Alberta Child Support Guidelines. If you wish the court to calculate the amount then you will need to file the standardized Child Support Guidelines form and Child Support Income Statement/Affidavit which we will provide for you in the documents that we send to you.
See Alberta Child Support Calculator¯ on any search engine such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. to get an idea of what the child support would be if it was to be ordered by the Court.

It's More Dangerous Than You May Realize
Photo credit: Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
I roll up my sleeve at my prenatal checkup for my routine blood pressure reading and hold my breath a bit, fearing that the reading will be elevated after the shock that was seeing my weight on the scale.
"110 over 60, looks great!" the medical assistant announces and I exhale, glad that my blood pressure is staying normal throughout this pregnancy.
Because although it may seem like it's one of those things we don't really need to worry about during pregnancy, elevated blood pressure can actually be extremely dangerous.
What it is
High blood pressure (hypertension) during pregnancy manifests itself in three different ways for childbearing women.
1) Pre-pregnancy or chronic hypertension: This occurs when a woman has high blood pressure before she even becomes pregnant and will most likely struggle with it after her pregnancy as well.
2) Gestational hypertension: Much like gestational diabetes, some women simply develop high blood pressure, without any other major complications, during their pregnancies. There is no one definitive cause or factor, but it just seems to happen in some pregnancies.
3) Preeclampsia: The most severe of the bunch, preeclampsia is a condition that only occurs during pregnancy, is marked by high blood pressure, swelling and protein in the urine and can lead to many complications, including death.
The dangers of high blood pressure
The main problem with having high blood pressure during pregnancy is that high blood pressure rarely causes noticeable symptoms until the problem is severe. Luckily, pregnant women are closely monitored during their pregnancies, so your provider will pick up on any elevation in blood pressure right away, but it is possible to develop high blood pressure and not even realize that you have it. Once the high blood pressure becomes severely high, you may notice symptoms such as headaches, vision changes (such as seeing floaters or spots of light) and sudden weight gain.
Second of all, high blood pressure is very dangerous because it affects virtually every system and organ in your body — and therefore, your baby's. Some of the possible complications from high blood pressure include:
- Decreased blood flow to the placenta (and to the developing baby)
- Placental abruption
- Premature delivery
- Future heart and blood pressure disorders, even after the pregnancy
- Organ failure or damage
- Bleeding or hemorrhage
- Seizures
- Death
Preeclampsia gets its own section in the high blood pressure discussion simply because it's the most dangerous. Preeclampsia affects between 5 and 8 percent of all pregnancies and is a worldwide leading cause of maternal and infant mortality. It usually strikes after 37 weeks of pregnancy and unfortunately, has no cure except the delivery of the baby. "Preeclampsia is a life-threatening condition, which can possibly lead to liver and kidney failure, and possibly the death of the mom and baby," explains Lisa M. Valle, D.O. and board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist at Plaza Towers OB-GYN in Santa Monica, California.
While not all women who go into pregnancy with high blood pressure or develop high blood pressure will necessarily get preeclampsia, they are at more of an increased risk for developing the disorder. High-risk pregnancies, such as multiples, IVF pregnancies or pregnancies in mothers over 35 years old carry more of a risk for preeclampsia. It's also been highlighted more recently in the news, with high-profile celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Adriana Lima battling the disorder.
What you can do
While some high blood pressure disorders, like preeclampsia, can't always be prevented or predicted, there are a few things you can do to protect yourself and your baby from complications due to high blood pressure.
- Control your pressure now. If you're planning a pregnancy, the best thing you can do is control your blood pressure before you become pregnant. That might mean having a conversation with your provider about ways to naturally lower your blood pressure or starting a pregnancy-safe medication to lower your pressure safely.
- Get a pre-conception checkup. Make sure everything is in order and that you are doing all you can to ensure your baby's health — right from the start — by checking in with your provider before you start trying for a baby.
- Know the signs. If you start to develop any dizziness, pain in your upper abdomen or have any sudden swelling, headaches or vision changes, get in to see your provider right away, as these may be signs of complications from high blood pressure and/or the beginning stages of preeclampsia. And, if you've had preeclampsia in the past, know that your chances of getting it again with future pregnancies is as high as 50 to 70 percent, according to Dr. Valle.
- Consider aspirin. If you've had severe preeclampsia in the past, talk with your provider about using a low dose of aspirin as a daily regimen to help you prevent preeclampsia from occurring in a subsequent pregnancy. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists included a daily 81-milligram dose of baby aspirin in their recent recommendations for treating and preventing preeclampsia.

- To ask the Scottish Government how it supports the Edinburgh festivals and how it will help them to increase their international appeal. (S4O-00137)
Fiona Hyslop, the SNP Linlithgow MSP & Culture Secretary, extolled the Scottish Government's commitment to the Edinburgh festivals, having invested £8m over four years "to enable new talent and creativity to flourish."
Next, Alison Johnstone (Greens, Lothian) then asked Ms Hyslop a supplemental constitutional question:
- Is the Minister aware of the current threat to the much-loved and well-used arts venue, the Forest, in Edinburgh city centre? Would she be prepared to meet representatives of the Forest as they work to secure a long-term home?
The Culture Secretary replied thus:
- The Forest Fringe hosted another eclectic programme during the August period and I understand that the venue is in the process of fundraising. I would be happy to let the Member know who it might be most appropriate for Forest representatives to meet at this stage of their fundraising efforts and if it is appropriate for me to meet them that would also be a step forward.
Marco Biagi has also raised the issue with me, but it might be helpful to find out who it would be most appropriate to meet, particularly at this early stage, which I think involves a fundraising effort.
The full exchange is available here -> http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/apps2 ... #iob_58125
Marco Biagi (SNP, Edinburgh Central) has offered to host a meeting at Holyrood, which we hope to arrange shortly. We intend to invite all the Lothian MSPs to this meeting and representatives from the Scottish Government, hopefully the Culture & Digital Directorate. As the Forest is an inclusive sort, we'll also examine whether it is possible to include Edinburgh councillors and Creative Scotland representitves in the meeting.
Meanwhile, you can help by contributing to our fundraising efforts (http://ow.ly/6lPWh) and joining the 148 people to date who have helped us reach 16% of our total. You can also contact your MSPs and Edinburgh councillors to explain why the Forest is so important and wht they should help the cause. Remind them to dip into their pocket while they're at it. Grin.
Onwards & upwards comrades.[/color]

4-6 teams interested in Antoine Walker and The Shoulder-Shimmy
Antoine Walker is receiving interest from four to six NBA teams, according to Chico Walker, the forward's uncle. "He said, 'I made a lot of mistakes,' " Walker, a former member of the Red Sox, said.
"[He said,] 'I made a lot of mistakes and I trusted the wrong people. I realized going forward I have to have positive people around me, just in life period. I have to have a lot of positive people around.' And I think now he gets it."
The younger Walker has endured a DUI charge, reports of gambling debt, real estate gone bad and a bankruptcy filing in May.

Places that Matter
The Cage (West 4th St. Courts)
Place Matters Profile
This basketball court, in a park at the corner of West 4th Street and 6th Avenue, in the heart of Greenwich Village, draws basketball lovers from around the city, and even around the world. They come to a court just half regulation size that is literally encaged by a 20-foot high chain-link fence both to play ball and to watch some of the best street basketball in the world, let alone New York City. "The Cage," as the court is known, hosts the West 4th Summer League, the oldest summer-basketball program in New York City.
The Cage is one of New York City's most popular spots for street basketball. In a city that all but invented basketball as a street sport, this is no minor achievement. The Cage is widely known for generating NBA stars and hosting celebrity pick-up games. In recent years, it has become a backdrop to soda commercials and been covered by ESPN. But the flourish of celebrity involvement has come about as a result of the Cage's importance and not the other way around.
The Cage's formal park name is the "West 4th Street Courts." The Cage and the several parks adjacent to it were acquired by the city in the late 1920s when it widened 6th Avenue to install the IND subway and to fit the West Village's street pattern into the grid system that prevailed farther uptown. The areas were turned over to the Parks Department in 1934, and the Cage was paved as a playground in 1935.

Anonymous Nominator
Although the Cage does not have many features which command the loyal and consistent following of basketball players that it receives, younger players come to the Cage to learn and be mentored by the "old-timers."

Buffalo Bills fans hope that some quarterback help comes in the upcoming NFL draft. They probably will be less excited about the following news.
The Bills have some interest in former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb, according to a report from ProFootballTalk. The report doesn't say whether Kolb will be visiting the team, just that the Bills are "interested in kicking the tires."
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Bills have made contact with Kolb and his agent Jeff Nalley in an effort to gauge where Kolb is physically and mentally. The team also wanted to understand Kolb's level of expectations, according to a source with knowledge of the Bills' thought process.
There was believed to mutual interest, but if there is a deal on the way, it's not imminent.
It's amazing to think how far Kolb's stock has fallen in two years. The Cardinals gave up a second-round draft pick and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie just for the honor of paying Kolb more than $10 million per season. Kolb has been on the free-agent market for exactly two weeks, and this is the first bit of interest we've heard in him.
Kolb could battle with Tarvaris Jackson and a rookie to be named later for the starting job in Buffalo under new coach Doug Marrone. Ryan Fitzpatrick suddenly doesn't look so bad.

-My beliefs summarized in words much more eloquent than I could come up with
How the Universe came from nothing
If we want to add to the list of South African chokes, we might as well look at their Test record since beating Australia in Australia and having a chase to climb the mountain to number 1:
vs Australia (h) - L 1-2
vs England (h) - D 1-1 (failed to close out 2 Tests and had to win the last to salvage the series)
vs India (a) - D 1-1 (blew a 1-0 lead)
vs West Indies (a) - W 2-0
vs Pakistan (n) - D 0-0 (cost themselves a Test with a defensive declaration)
vs India (h) - D 1-1 (blew a 1-0 lead)
However, they must be annoyed that they cannot seem to put India away after taking the series lead against them every time in recent series. Very irritating when that happens, especially at home. Overall, they haven't really built on that excellent year they enjoyed in 2008.
Don't think you can call 1-1 in SA against India a choke. The first match, SA annihilated us, agreed. But it was not like their lack of mental strength cost them the series. India just bowled superbly in the second game and Laxman played the Innings of the year to win the match.
The third game was pretty evenly matched, IMO. If anything It was a bit of a 'choke' for Dhoni to let SA off and not attack full-on when SA had Kallis and Boucher in before 100 in the third Innings. Sure, Smith could've declared 10 overs early on the fourth day but don't think even that was an obvious error tbh.
The aforementioned two facing off for 1-1 in India was even less of a choke. SA murdered India in the first test and India returned the favour in the second. Both games were won by an Innings. While one might say SA were a couple of overs away from drawing and winning in India, It's easy to forget that an entire day was rained off and the game competitively, had no business reaching the end of the fifth day.
India are deservedly the number 1 side in the world because they've been beating everyone and rescuing series that they have no right rescuing. South Africa at the end of 2009 had a glorious chance to really cement their push for number 1, and instead have spent the last 2 years losing and drawing series. That's what I mean when I'm referring to it as a choke - not that they necessarily choked in any individual series, but have found ways not to win series they should have won when a great side would have done the opposite.
Maybe instead of using the "c" word, I should have held it up as an example of their mental fragility.

Tomato Frenzy: Canning
Since mid-July, the test kitchen has been inundated with tomatoes. Eastern Tennessee had record-breaking temperatures and hardly any rainfall in June, followed by a few weeks of daily afternoon showers. As a result, many of us had to pick half-ripe tomatoes before the crazy weather caused them to crack and split on the vine. The first onslaught—a whole bushel (about twenty pounds) of very ripe tomatoes—arrived last week without warning, causing a scramble for mason jars and fresh lids. As we continue to harvest our ten San Marzano plants, three Cherokee Purples, and a half-dozen Dr. Carolines, we have also been the beneficiaries of several tomato "gifts" from friends and growers at the farmer's market. As this glut lasts, we will continue to post weekly on different ways of using and putting up tomatoes. First up: classic canned "whole" tomatoes. Why quotation marks? As you can see from the photos, this first batch started out whole, but they were so ripe that the peeling and canning process made them appear—for lack of a better descriptor—"lightly crushed." Either way, they will be delicious in sauces, stews, chilis, soups, and braises all winter long. All it takes is some know-how, half a day of your time, and a few small investments.
Despite the recent canning and preserving "revival" (for many, canning is and always has been a way of life), lots of people still get a little skittish after years of hearing second-hand tales about botulism and thinking that a pressure canner is dangerous. This is why tomatoes are great to start with: being acidic, tomatoes are inhospitable to most microorganisms and only need a hot-water bath canning process. What's more, tomatoes are probably the most useful canned staple to have on hand. Add all of these to the fact that fresh supermarket tomatoes are generally bland during the harvest season (let's not even talk about winter… ugh), and you have a healthy stack of reasons/excuses to source some tomatoes and get canning. Truly a gateway canning project.
First step: assemble a very large stockpot, a canning rack that fits nicely in the bottom, a roasting pan, a fresh box or two of quart-size mason jars (twenty pounds of tomatoes—one bushel--required eighteen quart jars for us), a jar lifter, a canning funnel, citric acid or bottled lemon juice, and a ladle. Second step: go to a farmer's market and ask someone with tomatoes for sale if they have flats of tomatoes for canning. Many farmers will give you a special rate for canning tomatoes, as they do not need to look pretty and will probably be picked over by other customers. Another good approach is to ask farmers for deals toward the end of a market, as they will probably not want to take anything home. Whatever you do, do not go into a specialty food store or coop and pick the most beautiful heirlooms you can find. You will be throwing money away with no discernible pay-off in the final product. In fact, though the tomatoes pictured are Better Boys, the best to use are the smaller, meaty varieties, such as San Marzanos and Romas (FYI: you cannot can cherry or grape tomatoes… luckily, they're your best bet for flavorful, fresh supermarket tomatoes in the winter).
Now that you have all the materials, it's time to clean and sterilize the jars and lids. After washing them by hand or in a dishwasher, fill a stockpot with water (leave some space for the volume of the jars), place the canning rack on the bottom, bring to a boil, and add as many jars as will fit using the jar lifter tool. Boil for ten minutes, carefully remove and pour the water out of each jar, and add another batch. Meanwhile, put the lids and rings in a bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover. Let them sit for ten minutes as well.
Set aside the jars and lids to dry. Using a sharp knife, make a shallow X-incision in the skin of each tomato opposite the stem. Place them in a single layer in a roasting pan and cover with the boiling water from the stockpot. Wait until cool, slip the skins off, and cut out the stems and any blemishes or green areas that are on the tomatoes. Place the peeled and cored tomatoes in a pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer for five minutes.
Using the canning funnel, ladle the tomatoes into the jars, leaving ½ inch of headspace at the top. When all of them are filled, it's time to add a little extra acid for luck. Tomatoes have unpredictable acid levels; this is true even of old-fashioned varieties with a high-acid reputation. To be safe, add 1⁄2 teaspoon citric acid or 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice to each quart jar. Do not add vegetables or other ingredients that would lower the acidity of the canned product. A single small washed fresh herb leaf, like sweet basil, is acceptable; its flavor will intensify with time.
Before placing the lids on, make sure the rim of each jar is clean and dry. Place the lids on and screw on the rings. Be sure not to tighten them too much; remember: as air expands during processing, some of it needs to escape. Refill the stockpot with water and bring back to a boil. Carefully add the jars using the lifter tool. As you add them, if you notice the water getting close to the top, pour or bail some out using a heat-proof glass measuring cup. The jars should be covered by approximately 2 inches of water. When the water returns to a boil, start your timer. Boil the quart jars for 45 minutes if you are at or near sea level. Be sure to add the appropriate amount of time for your altitude:
1,001-3,000 feet, add 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 feet, add 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 feet, add 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 feet, add 20 minutes
Voilá! Winter-time tomatoes with summer-time flavor. Let the jars cool undisturbed on the counter for 12 to 24 hours. During this time you will hear the lids "pop" as the air shrinks and sucks them down. This might take some time. If, after a day, the lids do not seal properly, try processing again (I've never had this problem occur so don't worry too much about it). When everything is nice and sealed up, we like removing the rings. Why? If a seal fails it will be very obvious.
Phew! Don't let the length of this blog deter you from trying your hand at canning. It's not any more complicated than your average mac and cheese recipe, but you have to do things right, and that means lengthy explanations and more exact instructions. I promise you, the effort is worth the reward. Let us know how you fare, or if you have any tips we can use as we weather this deluge of beautiful tomatoes. For more information on canning tomatoes (and just about anything else you can think of), check out the Canning chapter in the 2006 Joy of Cooking.
These jars take me back to my
These jars take me back to my mom's hot kitchen full of fans and bushel baskets. At the end of a long tiring day, there were jars on every flat surface, lined up like soldiers on white towels, cooling and catching the light like these. High pitched pops and boinks let you know one more jar of food was sealed and ready for winter cooking.
Actually, you can can grape
Actually, you can can grape tomatoes. There is a recipe for pickled grape tomatoes in the Ball Blue Book. And Ball also has a recipe for "cold pack" tomatoes in which you don't have to cook the tomatoes before putting in the jars. Just an FYI to save time and work.

LEED ND: Plan v3 - LEED 2009
The Shipyard/Candlestick Point
San Francisco, CA 94124
United States
Last certified on: Jun 29, 2012
Certification level: Gold
The proposed redevelopment of The Shipyard-Candlestick Point is another reflection of the environmental leadership displayed by San Franciscans. It offers a model to other cities about how to build for the 21st century and beyond. We have been proud to work with the City of San Francisco, our partners and the community to shape a new future for this site.
Once a US Navy shipyard, the Hunters Point Shipyard neighborhood was left largely vacant after the Navy left in 1974. The City of San Francisco decided to revitalize the Shipyard, planning to redevelop the area with housing, retail, commercial, cultural and educational uses. Plans were already developed when the San Francisco 49ers decided to relocate to a new stadium in Santa Clara, freeing additional land in Candlestick Point that was previously dedicated to the stadium and surface parking. The City wanted to ensure that planning for both The Shipyard and Candlestick Point were integrated and asked the Shipyard development team to expand their scope of work to include plans for Candlestick Point. This opportunity resulted in a plan that includes housing, retail and a substantively improved regional park that complement the Shipyard.
Strategies and resources
Sustainability at the Shipyard springs from a deep need and strong commitment to achieving tremendous progress in environmental stewardship, social equity and community benefit, and economic vitality of the region. It is in the balanced approach to these three pillars of sustainability that the community will build on its strengths to create a new and thriving mixed-use neighborhood that is vital, accessible and integrated into the Bayview Hunters Point community and the City and County of San Francisco.
The master plan consists of approximately 775 developable acres that include: entitlements for 12,000 homes; 326 acres of parks and open space; 3,150,000 square feet of R&D/office space; 885,000 square feet of retail; 100,000 square feet of community facilities and a 10,000 seat performance venue.
LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) certification was a commitment made to the City in the project's sustainability plan during the initial project approvals. The developers and City understood that LEED -ND certification not only made environmental sense, but that it would translate to economic sense. The Shipyard project is committed to energy savings that are 15% greater than the 2008 Title 24 requirements. Plans include installing Energy Star appliances in all housing and using solar energy and LED street lights. The project is also committed to providing solar-ready rooftops.
Reclaimed water will be reused by installing 'purple pipe' throughout the neighborhood to be connected to the city's recycled water system. Intended mainly for irrigation, this could potentially be extended to indoor uses such as toilet flushing. The project will also treat average rainfalls in an on-site facility.
To reduce traffic and improve efficiency, an underground automatic waste collection system is being explored with the city's waste removal company. This system would virtually eliminate garbage truck traffic, siphoning it to the two to three waste collection stations.
The new community has been internationally recognized for its environmental potential by being selected as the new global headquarters for the United Nation's Global Compact Center. The Center, which will help anchor the Shipyard's R&D hub, will focus on the emerging fields of clean technology and green energy to assist in the effort to combat global warming and dependence on fossil fuels.
