Making Homemade No-Canning Needed Refrigerator Dill Pickles or Bread-and-Butter Pickles
Click here for a PDF print version
Making your own pickles, gherkins, kosher dills, bread and butter, sweet pickles, etc. is one of the easiest things you can do with your own cucumbers when you use the no-canning - refrigerator method! Here's how to do it, in easy steps and completely illustrated. This method requires NO special equipment! It is much faster than the old method your grandmother used with tons of pickling salt and de-scumming the brine! Ugh! This method is so easy, ANYONE can do this! It's a great thing to do with your kids! These pickles MUST be stored in the refrigerator at all times, so if you'd rather make canned pickles that can be stored on a room temperature shelf, see this page!
Click here for the page of frequently asked questions (with answers) about making pickles.
Other Types of Pickles
Refrigerated dills are typically cucumbers soaked for 1 week in a salt brine and then stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Our method is a bit easier. Fridge pickles must be kept in the fridge, not stored at room temperature, but they are more crisp that traditional canned pickles. Other types of pickles include:
- Fresh-pack (or quick process) pickles are cured for several hours in a vinegar solution or are immediately combined with hot vinegar, spices, and seasonings. Examples include dills, bread-and-butter pickles and pickled beets. Quick Process is what these instructions show. Other types are:
- Fermented pickles are vegetables soaked in a brine solution for 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, lactic acid bacteria, naturally present on the surface of vegetables, grows. Other microbes are inhibited by salt. The color of the vegetables changes from bright green to olive/yellow-green, and the white interior becomes translucent. Examples include dill pickles and sauerkraut.
- Fruit pickles are whole or sliced fruit simmered in a spicy, sweet-sour syrup. Examples include spiced peaches and crabapples.
- Relishes are made from chopped fruits or vegetables that are cooked to a desired consistency in a spicy vinegar solution. Examples include corn relish and horseradish.
Ingredients and Equipment
Yield: Makes 6 pint jars
Directions - How to Make Refrigerator Pickles
Step 1 - Selecting the cucumbers
It's fun to go pick your own and you can obviously get better quality cucumbers!
At right is a of picture cucumbers from my garden - they are SO easy to grow. But be sure to grow the varieties that are labeled "pickling cucumbers" - they will be much more crisp!
The picture at right shows a good cucumber for pickling (bottom) and a bad one (top). The good one is dark green, firm, and not bloated. It has lots of warts!
The bad one is overripe, it has yellow or white areas in the skin, and the warts are almost all gone. If you cut it open, you will see developed seeds. You don't want seeds!
Overripe cucumbers make mushy pickles.
Step 2 - How many cucumbers?
It takes about 3 or 4 cucumbers to fill a pint jar, assuming each cucumber is about 4 - 5 inches long and 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter..
You will cut off the ends so they will fit with ¼-inch to spare.. Typically, 6 to 8 pounds small pickling cucumbers (NOT "burpless" cucumbers), per batch.
Step 3 -Wash and cut the vegetables!
I'm sure you can figure out how to wash the fruit in plain cold water.
You will need to cut the ends off (about ¼-inch) and then slice them lengthwise if you like spears. You can also leave them whole or cut them cross-wise for bread-and-butter pickles.
Step 4 - Get the jars and lids sanitizing
The dishwasher is fine for the jars; especially if it has a "sanitize" cycle. I get that going while I'm preparing everything else, so it's done by the time I'm ready to fill the jars. If you don't have a dishwasher, submerge the jars in a large pot (the canner itself) of water and bring it to a boil for 10 minutes.
Be sure to let it go through the rinse cycle to get rid of any soap!
Need lids, rings and replacement jars?
Get them all here, delivered direct to your home, at the best prices on the internet!
Step 5 - Mix the vinegar with the pickling mix and bring to a near boil
OK, you can make your own pickling mix from spices, salt, dill, etc.; but it is MUCH more time-consuming, complicated, and prone to problems. This method produces pickles which are just as crisp - as long as you pick very firm cucumbers. It also helps to add 2 grape leaves to every jar (I kid you not, they have something in them that makes the pickles crunchier).
The stores (grocery stores, like Publix, Kroger and Safeway and local "big box" stores, sometimes even local hardware stores) sell several varieties of refrigerator pickle mixes - Kosher dill, bread-and-=butter and sweet pickles are the most commonly seen. And be sure to get them by July - they tend not to re-order them when they sell out. Mrs. Wages "refrigerator pickle mixes" are the easiest.
If you want to try to make your own, the Missouri State extension service recipe is:
- 1/2-cup (packed) fresh dill (from your garden or the grocery store's fresh vegetable dept)
- 2 cups thinly sliced onions
- If you want Bread-and-Butter type pickles also add 1-1/2 cups sugar, honey or Stevia (or if you prefer, Splenda). Skip this for dill pickles.
- 1-1/2 cups white vinegar (5%)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (canning or kosher is best, but not vital)
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Pickle Mixes
To interject a crass commercial here, I have found the best (crispest, best tasting) pickles from a mix are with the "Mrs. Wages Polish Dill Refrigerator Pickle Mix" They REALLY are good AND you don't need a canner - you store them in your fridge right after making them. They're ready to eat in 24 hours! Our affiliate sells the mixes (and at really good prices, too)
Whether you want dills or sweet pickles; canning them or straight into the refrigerator; there is a mix for every taste and need here!Get them all here, delivered direct to your home, at the best prices on the internet! Get everything you need to make pickles: mixes, salt, brine, etc. here!
Step 6 - Heat the pickle mix
Bring the mix and 2 cups of vinegar to a near-boil - just simmering! The homemade mix does NOT use any added water. Some store mixes call for added water, in that case check your packet of mix!
Be sure to use a NON-metal pot - or a coated metal (teflon, silverstone, enamel, etc.) without breaks in the coating. the metal reacts with the vinegar and makes the pickle solution turn cloudy.
Step 7 - Fill the jars with cucumbers and put the lid and rings on
Pack the cucumbers, whole or slices in and pour the simmering pickle mix liquid over them. Fill them to within ¼-inch of the top, seat the lid and hand-tighten the ring around them.
To make your dill pickles crispy, put a fresh clean grape leaf in the bottom of each jar. Continue with the process as usual!
Step 8 - Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate
Easy! About 2 hours later, pop them into the fridge and wait at least 24 hours!
Step 9 - Eat!
When can you start eating the pickles? Well, it takes some time for the seasonings to be absorbed into the pickles. That's at least 24 hours, but for best flavor wait 1 week.! Ah... the wait...
Be sure to keep them refrigerated!!!

Home Canning Kits
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to
make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts
for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a
plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball
Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll
never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)!
There is also s simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure
canner, if your want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see
more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!

TVs & Electronics: HDTVs
Bing Shopping | HDTVs
The Super Bowl hits our sets Feb. 3, and merchants are riding the buzz by discounting select televisions ahead of the big game. Also, manufacturers rolled out all that is new and shiny at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, so that means stores add last year's models to the sales racks, resulting in savings on their stock of digital cameras, camcorders and home theater systems.
If you haven't yet upgraded to a flat-screen TV, or if you simply want to supersize your current model, now is the perfect time to grab a big bargain.

Also check out deals on outdoor furniture and appliances, such as patio sets and grills, as winter isn't prime time for backyard pursuits; typically, any time you buy off-season products you'll see a decent discount.
Pre-assembled furniture is almost always more expensive than the kind you put together yourself, and this latter category is even more of a bargain in January.
Furniture: Recliners
Bing Shopping | Recliners
Relax – you deserve one, or perhaps a matching set, of these cushy perches, especially when they're priced the lowest they'll be all year.

The club just got bigger: The Council of Fashion Designers of America formally added 26 members to its ranks last night and showed off its recently opened Bleecker Street headquarters in the process.
No need to borrow the apartment of an Elie Tahari or Donna Karan this time around: The CFDA's space isn't just new and improved, it's also twice the size of the old one in the Garment District, and those gathered wasted no time baptizing it. "We had the bar open before the meeting," CEO Steven Kolb admitted. Tommy Hilfiger, Jenna Lyons, and jewelry designers Mimi So and Kara Ross were ratified as new board directors. "We talked about Starbucks," Ruffian's Brian Wolk reported. Rodarte's holiday season partnership with the coffee giant hits soon—so who's up next? "That hasn't been finalized yet," Kolb said.
New inductees such as Tabitha Simmons, Lisa Perry, and Emily Current and Meritt Elliott of the eponymous L.A.-based denim brand donned name tags and did some fraternal mingling with the likes of Zac Posen and Francisco Costa. "It's a hard industry, that's the reality," offered Peter Som. "The pace, the pressure, who else but fellow designers can understand what you're going through when your head's spinning around and your eyes are twirling in two different directions?"
Yvan Mispelaere said he'd been spending more time in Paris since his recent departure as creative director at Diane von Furstenberg but didn't offer details. Of all the freshmen, Joseph Altuzarra is perhaps the least likely to need to borrow meeting space at the new headquarters. Still, he seemed comforted the place was walking distance from his Soho studio. "If I had a fashion emergency, it would be very easy for me to come."

More than 40 CALA members, including former ALA Presidents Barbara Ford, Loriene Roy, and current president Jim Rettig, participated in the program, exchanging their experience and knowledge with Chinese librarians. This program is to review its origin, development, and impact, share the experience from the program with other librarians nationwide, and plan for the future. Our six panelists will present their successful programs in different views to the audience.

A biopic on the late Marvin Gaye that was set to star Lenny Kravitz has had a personnel change. Late last year, it had been announced that Lenny Kravitz was set to portray the legendary soul singer in an upcoming film about his life, but Deadline.com reports that Gaye's son Marvin Gaye III objected to the casting choice and asked Kravitz to drop out of the project. The top-billed slot has now been filled by former Law & Order star Jesse L. Martin -- also famous for his starring role in Broadway's Rent .
The film is titled
and will focus on the last years of Gaye's life and deal with his alcohol addiction, financial problems and friendship with music promoter
Freddy Cousaert
. It will be directed by
Julien Temple
, the man behind the 1980 mockumentary about the
Sex Pistols
The Great Rock and Roll Swindle
Sexual Healing is due to begin filming later this month in Europe.

.NET client - Failed to obtain socket from pool
i have a .NET client 1.1.6 running against couchbase server 1.8.1.
It sometimes happens that when i try to remove item from server like
var result = Client.ExecuteRemove(lockName);
// log error
_logger.Error(string.Format("Attempt {0} to remove {1} failed. Message = {2}. Exception = {3}. InnerResult.Message = {4}. StatusCode = {5}.",
i see following message to be logged " Message = Failed to remove item, see InnerResult or StatusCode for details. Exception = . InnerResult.Message = Failed to obtain socket from pool. StatusCode = . "
when i check the time then i see it happens just during certain period lasting exactly 10 seconds. so this call will be in the while loop for 10 secs.
what is the reason for this behavior? is there a way to tune it somehow? where does it come from - client or server ?
Hi Lubos,
10 seconds is the default timeout for a couple of different connection timeouts - http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-sdk-net-1.2/couchbase-sdk-net-co.... It seems like that would be the likely cause. There are some fixes to error message handling in the 1.2 client. If you give that a try, even with 1.8.1, you should see more details in the errors.
-- John
thanks for answer. if i understand that correctly then we should increase SocketPool.MaxPoolSize to a higher number.
Is there any guideline how to set it? i found in documentation for enymcaching that it shall be 0.75*count of threads, but this doesn't help us... what is safe number (app runs on win 2008 r2 64b servers).
In general, in our application we have two clients (one is for caching and one is for locking). Each is shared by certain amount of threads - locking one by many more currently - is that correct design anyway ?

NAi Publishers, the largest Dutch publisher in the field of architecture, art, photography and design, and 010 Publishers, the oldest publishing house in the Netherlands specializing in architecture and design, are to merge their publishing activities.

Funeral services for famed movie critic Roger Ebert took place in the heart of Chicago Monday morning, and mourners started lining up early to pay their respects.
The service began at 10 a.m. at Holy Name Cathedral, 730 N. State St., and was open to the public. Seating was first-come, first-serve, and the church was filled to capacity for the mass.
Fr. John Costello, a Jesuit priest, delivered the official eulogy. Costello said he and Ebert frequently discussed his mother's prayer that Roger become a priest; and how he later rejected some church teachings, while embracing others. Ebert often wrote of his Irish-Catholic roots.
Referring to movies about death and its aftermath, Costello offered a cinematic vision of Ebert the skeptic arriving in Heaven.
"Seeing that God face to face, the vanilla sky opens again to welcome one of its own, to a never-ending tenderness, to timeless embraces, to an exploding glory amid the serene-ness of calm, of one who finally knows for sure, yes, he was right all along," Costello said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Governor Pat Quinn spoke at the service, regaling what made the Illinois native and Chicago legend's life and career. They spoke of his unique writing style, his dedication to his readers and to the integrity of film, his passion for education and work ethic.
"Roger also stood for a passion for social justice, Catholic Social Justice," Quinn said. "He was a populist who understood that it's the duty of all of us to take good care of those who don't have a champion."
Jonathan Jackson, son of Rev. Jesse Jackson, spoke of how Ebert's work promoted equality in the film industry and in the world and of how his reviews made him proud to be a young black man in America.
Jackson also relayed the words acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee asked him to recite: That Ebert was a champion of his work, and of the work of black filmmakers as a critical time in history. Lee said Ebert did the right thing, fought the good fight and fought the power with his words.
Ebert worked with Chicago Sun-Times Publisher John Barron, who spoke of Ebert's tireless devotion to his work, and how he was always a newspaper man first. He spoke of how Ebert and long-time "At the Movies" TV partner Gene Siskel called themselves journalists first, and how movie reviews were just an assignment. It was important to both of them to get information to their reader and viewers first, and to get it right the first time.
Barron spoke on how being Roger Ebert's boss was the easiest job in the world. He spoke of how Ebert was the first man with a computer, of how being there for movie-goers 24/7 was of utmost importance to Ebert and how proud he and the paper were of Ebert's dedication to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Ebert's step-daughter Sonia Evans spoke of how much her family loved Roger Ebert, and how much he loved his family. She spoke of his dedication to spending time with her children, of the fond memories they all share and of how their lives would have been incomplete without him.
"I'm the happiest when I think about how he and my mother found each other and had a great life together," Sonia Evans, Ebert's step-daughter said.
Chaz Ebert, Roger's long-time love and widow, stepped up to the podium at Holy Name Cathedral to thunderous applause. She was wearing Ebert's favorite hat.
Chaz spoke of how she woke up Monday morning, trying to pretend it wasn't the day of her husband's funeral. She spoke of how she gathered her courage to speak about her husband in front of this large crowd, and spoke of how much she loved him. Chaz' words were poignant, sincere, and funny, just as his writing always was.
The applause continued as Chaz stepped down, until she was seated again in the first row.
Gene Siskel's widow, Marlene, was also in attendance. Near the end of the funeral, his family shared the highs and lows of coping with their grief.
SEE: PHOTOS: Remembering famed movie critic Roger Ebert
Ebert, 70, died on Thursday following a public battle with cancer. The Pulitzer Prize-winning critic for the Chicago Sun-Times died two days after announcing that his cancer had returned and that he would be taking "a leave of presence." He worked for the newspaper for more than 45 years.
"I wouldn't go see a movie without seeing the weekend plugs first," one Chicago viewer said.
Ebert wrote constantly - nearly 200 articles per year. In the last year of his life, Ebert wrote 306 reviews, in addition to doing some blogging, other articles. He said oftentimes he would watch 10 to 12 movies a week.
"The first thing we would check were his reviews," a Chicago reader said. I was trying to explain why they were so important, and the word that I came up was they were so accessible."
The film critic had also planned to move his work online, to the RogerEbert.com website exclusively devoted to the movies he wanted to review. Ebert's final movie review was posted on his web site Sunday for "To the Wonder," a new film starring Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams. He gave it 3 1/2 stars.
Ebert grew up in Urbana, Ill. and attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
"I first read them at the University of Illinois when he wrote some of his first columns," another Ebert follower said. "He talked about what's the big deal with USC, UCLA, NYU - there were film classes at the universities, and I didn't know. That thanks to him I found the film classes, and then thanks to him I learned about film."
Much the Chicago man, residents will miss him for more than just his prolific work.
"We frequented the same bar, O'Rourke's," another Chicagoan said, who remembered one time when he even saw Ebert dancing on a bar. "We were part of the crowd that were regulars there. He was a great guy. [We] spent a lot of time with him. He will definitely be missed."
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked to send donations to The Ebert Foundation, ℅ Northern Trust at 50 St. LaSalle Street. The foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports arts and education programs.
A memorial tribute for legendary film critic Roger Ebert is scheduled for Thursday, at the Chicago Theatre. Attendees will remember the Pulitzer Prize winner's prolific life and career at the event. It's said to be a more light-hearted memorial service with Gospel music, and perhaps, some of the movies he covered for 46 years.
SEE: Roger Ebert memorial tribute planned for Chicago Theatre
The event is open to the public, but seats must be reserved ahead of time. To make a reservation, please call 773-528-7700 or email firstname.lastname@example.com starting at 10 a.m. Monday.

Debate: Video games are the drug of the century
Video games are constantly progressing towards characteristics similar to drugs. If we look at a huge point brought up in the speech mentioning how ancient "lydia" (i think) used video games to cause the people to ignore or forget about the necessities to life such as hunger. This effect is very similar to the effects of many drugs like acid which are used to dull sense of reality and enter an external world to forget the problems in reality. This is one of the many things that video games have in common within drugs.
So the debate is are video games being used for beneficial reasons like teaching values of never giving up on a mission and knowing the possibility of accomplishing important objectives. Or are video games like World of Warcraft offering an alternate world for a person to escape to and allows the creation of an avatar that reflects the person they wish to be and the existence in a world different from reality?
Please if you are arguing one side think of arguments that oppose your own point of view and offer them as well only because i would like to hear both sides and it will allow for a much better debate and allow for you to articulate your argument in more depth.

Laura PDec 12 2012: Sorry, but I have to debate this issue. The "drug of the century" is the IPOD/IPAD. They really are a great technology, but people, please!!! There is a place and time to use them! Certainly NOT when you're driving or walking!!! People walk into me all the time at the mall, at school, and grocery! They are OBLIVIOUS to what's going on around them!!!
It's not all IPOD/IPAD Users I'm talking about. I refer to people who use them use them as their LONE means of communication and who are OBLIVIOUS in this way.
So, I nominate the IPOD/IPAD

It has not been an easy life for the smallestMercedes in the United States. It certainly hasn't been as tough as the European A-Class , but the road to success for the C-Class has been paved with hardship and tough competition.
In that very segment, buyers will find one the best vehicles ever produced, the BMW 3-Series . Here is a vehicle that has dominated the German sports saloon segment with strong sales and a driving experience that is second to none. If that wasn't enough to damn the C-Class , Audi has brought along the A4 , a strong 3-Series rival that offers up a brilliant interior and build quality that has stood the test of time.
On top of all this, Mercedes has fallen behind in other areas as well. BMW offers their 3-Series in coupe form and Audi has the A5 , but what does Mercedes offer? Well, until now, nothing, but that is all scheduled to change with the new C-Class Coupe.
Update 01/07/2010: The first official images for the 2012 Mercedes C-Class Coupe have been leaked! Check them out in the gallery provided. Also a bit of interesting news; the Mercedes C-Class Black Series will use a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 570 HP and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque!
Update 02/14/2011: Mercedes has finally revealed the official specs and details on the new C-Class Coupe that will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Hit the jump to read all about it and see the picture gallery for high res images.
Updated 02/18/2011: After the first images and details were revealed just the other day, Mercedes has unveiled the first video of the new C-Class Coupe. The video shows the car both inside and out, illustrating its dynamic design, sporty appearance, and efficient engines. Enjoy!
Updated 05/05/2011: Mercedes has unveiled a 10-minute movie in which the main star is the new C-Class Coupe. But noticing the car might be a challenge considering it is surrounded by beautiful young girls. Hit the jump to watch the video.
UPDATE 09/21/11: We hardly thought of the Mercedes C-Class Coupe as a car being shackled by its own company, but the latest commercial featuring the aforementioned Merc seems to point in that direction. "More power, more style, less doors" was the overall theme of the ad. Certainly, we couldn't argue with any of those claims, except that the car was already awesome to begin with. But if Mercedes felt the need to point it out, then more power to them. Check out the new C-Class Coupe commercial by clicking on the photo above.
UPDATE 04/28/12: Mercedes has released a new promo - they've billed it as a "beauty" promo. Not sure why - of the C-Class Coupe. Check it out by clicking on the photo above.
Hit the jump to read more about the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.
The new C-Class Coupe shares many similarities with its sedan brother, but at the same time, it brings its own personality to the table. Up front it gets a prominent radiator grille surround including a bumper, a center air intake that opens upwards, two chrome louvers extend on either side of the central star offering the car an aggressive look, and a pronounced V-shape.
The upward kink at the trailing edge of the rear window looks a bit like a BMW design cue, and the wedge-shaped body and the sleek greenhouse convey Audi overtones. Perhaps the Germans are doing a bit of spying on one another. When you buy a two-door, one expects to lose a bit of practicality, but that's not the case with this model, as the boot has the same 16.8 cubic feet of room as the four-door model. A little bit of packaging voodoo from the fine folks in Stuttgart.
"By extending the C-Class portfolio, we are consciously targeting new customers," says Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Head of Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Cars. "The new model is youthful, stylish and expressive. What we are offering is an exceptionally sporty way to enter the world of the Mercedes-Benz coupe."
For the interior, the new C-Class Coupe gets a new instrument panel with three tube rings painted in a metallic finish, a new three-spoke steering wheel featuring a flat bottom, a dashboard that accommodates standard 5.8-inch central display, an easier to use Command system, and a host of extra-cost driver assistance systems such as - take a breath - lane guidance, lane-departure warning, blind-spot warning, traffic sign recognition, night vision, an automatic parking aid, cornering lights, and cruise control with brake actuation. Most of this stuff you could do without, but it's fun to discuss when bragging to your neighbors.
The C250 is offered with standard aluminum trim, while the C350 gets rich Burl Walnut. Unique Ash Olive Matte Wood Trim is available as an option.
Other items that will be making the jump include the E-Class' four sporty, comfortable seats with integrated headrests, which means you can set up your C-Class' front buckets to massage that tired body.
If desired, the backrests in the rear can be folded to extend the storage area. Interior quality will also be getting jumped up, as Mercedes is going back to what they once were before the Chrysler era.
Engine Line-up
For the US market, customers will get to choose from two different models: the C250 and the C350. The European market will get another three models to choose from. The smallest version is powered by a 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 201 HP and a peak torque of 229 lbs-ft. Top speed for this version is 130 mph, while the sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in 7.1 seconds. All of this is delivered with a combined fuel consumption of 24 mpg.
The C350 gets a 3.5 liter V6 engine with an output of 302 HP and 273 lbs-ft, while top speed is also limited to 130 mph. However, this model is a little bit faster as it sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, while fuel consumption sits at 22 mpg.
Both models are equipped with a more fuel efficient 7-speed automatic transmission.
When Can I Get One?
The new Mercedes C-Class Coupe will make its world debut in March at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show with sales on the US market beginning in September 2011. Prices will be revealed at a later date.
The Competition
As we stated earlier, the A5 and the 3-Series Coupe are natural competitors, as is the Cadillac CTS Coupe and Infiniti G Coupe . We aren't too sure that Mercedes is worried about the G, it's more their German rivals that are giving the boys from Merc nightmares.
The 3-Series Coupe has long been a performance machine and it has carried over the brilliant driving characteristics of the sedan. We would prefer the C-Class styling over the 3-Series, but when you have a vehicle that drives this good, you might as well throw styling aside because it just doesn't matter. By the time the Mercedes hits showrooms, there might be a new 3-Series upon us and we think it feature the same toys as well. So, based on the past, Mercedes is going to have to step it up to beat Bavaria.
Audi's A5 is a something of beauty. You can have it anyway you want it; in base mode, the more invigorating S5 version, or the all-out incredible RS5. There are numerous motors that can be placed in one of these machines, including a 4.2-liter V8. Sadly, as good as it was, it still didn't live up the BMW. Sure, it matched it on build quality and interior design, but as far as driving goes, the 3-Series reigns supreme.
- Cool look
- Sporty coupe
- Elegant interior
- Only two options for the US market
- Could have been faster

CPR: Just Chest Compressions, Mouth-to-Mouth Not Necessary
New Guidelines for CPR
Medical Author: Benjamin C. Wedro, MD, FAAEM
Care for patients is a combination of high tech and high touch and the American Heart Association is working hard to get the touch back into the equation. After years of advocating bystander CPR, cardiopulmonary pulmonary resuscitation, the "P" or pulmonary is being dropped and chest compressions may be enough.
Why the change? Because when many bystanders are confronted with a medical crisis, such as somebody collapsing with their heart stopping, they are too frightened to intervene. Often they are not certain whether they might even do harm. And with today's fear of getting an infection from an unknown person, doing mouth to mouth breathing on a stranger can add to that fear. The concept might be summarized by the axiom: if you can't do something well, don't do it at all.
But in a medical crisis, people who try to help make a difference and the result is patients survive. Studies have shown that bystanders who had no knowledge of CPR, were given simple instructions by 911 operators to do chest compressions and were able to save lives. It seems that there is often enough oxygen left in the blood stream to allow the brain and other organs to survive until medically trained personnel arrive, as long as that blood is circulated, and chest compressions does just that.
As usual, there are special situations where breathing for a victim is important, including babies and drowning victims, but the new recommendations make it easier for bystanders to make a difference.
The first steps remain the same:
The best chance for a victim of heart attack to survive depends on the quick use of devices that can electrically stimulate a proper heartbeat. An AED, or automatic defibrillator, can shock the heart back into a rhythm where it can beat and sustain life. But until the AED arrives on the scene, chest compressions are a bridge for saving a life.
There is no doubt, that the chances of survival for victims of heart attack (or heart stoppage) are better in certain situations, like in a hospital intensive care unit. There is also a better chance of survival in Seattle, where many people have taken a CPR class, than in a city where ordinary citizens have not. Using chest compressions alone is good, but learning the whole package is certainly better, and advocating for more AEDs in public places adds to the overall survival rate in a community.
But the high tech can't work unless the high touch happens. The new recommendation for chest compressions "hands only" CPR may make that difference between life and death.

You can speak out on the proposed $19.6 million budget for Madison County Public Schools at a public hearing Monday night.
The tentative version calls for a $1 million increase over the current budget and includes a 2 percent pay hike for school staff.
The county superintendent presented the proposed budget for the coming fiscal year on January 13, and a school board work session was held to discuss the plan last Thursday.
The hearing is set for 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Just as Marquette was starting to pull away from the visiting Providence Friars, a bat destroyed the concentration of just about everybody in the Bradley Center.
It flew around for about 15 minutes, dive-bombing players, coaches and referees and interrupting the Golden Eagle momentum.
Despite the distraction, Marquette held on for an 81-71 win. Junio Cadougan led the Eagles with 15 points, while Vander Blue, Trent Lockett and Davante Gardner added 13 to the balanced scoring sheet.
By Marquette standards, the 10-point victory was a blow-out. 4 of its first 5 Big East Conference games went overtime or were decided on the final possession.
Marquette is now 5-1 in conference play and 14-4 overall.
The Golden Eagles outscored Providence 44-24 in the paint and 16-4 on fast-breaks. The bat caused two play stoppages, one of 4 minutes.

Youth smoking had a good run as a top-of-mind issue among U.S. parents and preventionists — 30 years or more, by some estimates — but now seems to have taken a back seat to childhood obesity in the national consciousness. Everyone from Michele Obama to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — the latter once a major force in tobacco prevention — seems to be joining the battle to slim down America's fat kids.
As Gina Kolata writes in the New York Times, however, some health officials are dismayed at the shift in focus. They point out that the death toll from smoking is higher, and that nobody is quite sure yet how to best prevent obesity, whereas tobacco prevention has been proved effective.
"I certainly don't want to go on record as saying too much money is going into obesity prevention," said obesity researcher Jeffrey Friedman of Rockefeller University, yet, "smoking very clearly represents a substantial health risk," he said. In some ways, smoking prevention is a victim of its own success: youth smoking rates are down siginificantly after a spurt of antismoking funding and attention in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but with money and attention drying up many worry that a resurgence in underage tobacco use may be looming.

Product Comments: I loved the save the dates magnets that I ordered. They came in very quickly and were an affordable price.

About Rainbow Light
At Rainbow Light, their mission is to make a difference in the health of people, pets and planet. For nearly 30 years, their bio-balanced products have been delivering short and long-term health performance results customized for discerning consumers.
Biobalanced formulas are:
Carefully formulated for specific health requirements:
In addition to their simple beauty, these rainbow colors revealed the full spectrum of nutritional constituents present in spirulina. Inspired by the power of nature revealed in this nourishing food base, a brand name was born! Since then, Rainbow Light has become a natural products leader and today, certified organic spirulina is still their primary food base. For 30 years, their targeted, food-based supplements have been delivering measurable health benefits and positive improvements in daily energy and vitality you can feel.
Formulating Philosophy
Rainbow Light's Bio-balanced formulas are carefully developed to deliver the right balance of:
Science-based potencies are important since many of us aren't getting optimal amounts of nutrients from diet alone. As an example, B vitamins are shown to deliver important benefits for heart health, stress, nervous system, long-term brain health, metabolism and immune health, yet these vitamins are easily depleted during physical activity, illness or times of stress. Rainbow Light supplements provide therapeutic potencies based on scientific research to support optimal health today and in the long-term.
The nourishing food base of targeted, pure superfood extracts such as spirulina, beets, kale and chlorella provide the foundation of every formula. Botanical extracts such as nettles and ginger deliver important co-nutrients to enhance absorption and digestion. A customized combination of plant-source enzymes, botanicals and probiotics further support absorption and prevent stomach upset common with other dietary supplements.
Rainbow Light's products are guaranteed to be 100% natural and free of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and other objectionable ingredients sometimes found in nutritional supplements.
At Rainbow Light, they are committed to maintaining a healthy environment, reducing carbon emissions and keeping plastic bottles from ending up in our oceans, natural habitats and landfills.
Rainbow Light is the first – and only – supplement brand to use Eco•Guard bottles made from 100% recycled, 100% recyclable material. These bottles are FDA-approved and BPA-free. By reusing post-consumer plastic, we reduce the need for virgin plastic that requires fossil fuel to produce. In addition the sleeve is made from 100% renewable plant resources with no adhesives that disrupt the recycling process. In 2010, Rainbow Light was awarded the Green Packaging award from Whole Foods Markets in recognition of their sustainability initiatives.
