Preserve your fruits. See how to make jams and preserves. Here are a few canning tips and recipes.
It's actually quite easy and you'll enjoy delicious results—free from additives and chemicals.
Tips on Making Jams and Preserves
Sweet and sticky, most people today lump strawberry jam and strawberry preserves together, thinking that they are the same thing. Well, almost, but not quite.
Jams use mashed up fruit, while preserves use whole or large pieces of fruit. Both of them, however, are easier and more economical to make than jelly, since they are made of entire fruits instead of just the juice, and can be good either thick or runny. Both are also delectable when homemade!
Here are some basic tips that you can follow to make your own jams and preserves.
- Wash and remove the stems or cores, if any. Peel if necessary; cherries and berries do not require peeling; fruit like pears and peaches do. Remember: for jams, cut up or mash the fruit; for preserves, use whole or cut into large chunks.
- Make jam or preserves in small batches because this way, the fruit will cook quickly and the color and flavor will be better preserved.
- For every cup of fruit you use, add 3/4 cup of sugar. For example, four cups of fruit makes a very manageable batch, so you would need 3 cups of sugar per batch—unless otherwise specified by the recipe.
- If you are using ripe or particularly sweet fruit, add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice. The acid from the lemon juice will help the jam or preserve thicken.
- Scorching is more likely to happen to jams and preserves, so in order to avoid that dilemma, stir your mixture often for 15-40 minutes, depending on the fruit. Scorching can ruin a otherwise delicious jam or preserve, but is very easy to prevent.
- To test your jam or preserve to see if it's done, take a spoonful out of your kettle, and if it holds its shape after about a minute, your jam or preserve is ready to jar.
For help translating a pound of fruit to the number of cups needed, see our Measuring Fruits chart (in Related Articles above).
Recommended Processing Time
For hot-pack jams in half-pint or pint jars without added pectin in a boiling-water container:
0-1,000 feet
1,001-6,000 feet
Above 6,000 feet
Processing Time
5 minutes
10 minutes
15 minutes
Give a homemade gift from your own kitchen. Cover the top with a circle of fabric that is 2 inches larger than the jar top. Secure it with several turns of a fine gold cord or ribbon.

Die Partei was the name under which Neue Deutsche Welle musicians Tom Dokoupil and Walter Dahn collaborated in the early '80s. Today's track, "Ostafrika," is off the duo's only album, 1981′s La Freitheit Des Geistes. Dokoupil is perhaps best known for his work with The Wirtschaftswunder, while Dahn had recorded around the same time with Die Hornissen. In 1984, Dokoupil and Dahn reunited as Slinky Gym School to produce "Crazy Sneaker" with rapper Rammellzee.
The video for today's track, if you're curious, seems to be taken from the 1984 film Beat Street. Obviously it's not by choice, and I wouldn't even usually call it out, but given the Rammellzee connection it seems apropos.

By Tara DelloIacono Thies, RD
By now you have probably heard the message that whole grains are healthier than refined grains. They contain more fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and minerals than their refined counterparts. Not only do whole grains offer a whole lot of benefits—including a lowered risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and obesity—but they also taste good. In my opinion, they have more bite and flavor than their counterparts.
The Whole Package
All grains start life as "whole" grains. That's because a whole grain is formed by the entire seed (or kernel) of the plant it comes from. This is true whether the plant is a wheat plant, a rice plant, or some other type of grain. The seed is made up of three main parts: the bran, which is the multilayered outer skin; the germ, which is the embryo of the plant; and the endosperm, which serves as the germ's food supply. Together, these deliver a healthy combination of nutrients, including antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and even a little unsaturated fat when served up in breads, pastas, cereals, and other types of food. Refining, on the other hand, removes the bran and the germ, leaving the starchy endosperm behind. Refined grains may offer a smoother texture, but they do so at a price: about 25 percent of the grain's protein is lost, as are key nutrients and hunger-curbing fiber. While food processors add back, or "enrich," some of the vitamins and minerals lost during refining, it's always more nutritious to consume grains in their whole form.
Hunting Down Whole Grains
The 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend three to five 16-gram servings of whole grains daily. That is a grand total of about 48–80 grams of whole grains each day. But according to the Whole Grains Council, more than 40 percent of Americans never eat any whole grains at all! Maybe that's because whole grains currently make up only about 10–15 percent of the grains found on supermarket shelves.
Parents don't have time to play whole grains detective in the grocery store, especially when their kids are "helping" do the shopping. They need to be able to identify whole grains quickly. Today, many packaged foods containing whole grains are proud of it and will tell you right on the front of the package. You can also look for popular whole grain ingredients like rolled oats, barley, bulgur, whole wheat, or quinoa to be listed on the back of the package Remember, 16 grams equals one serving, so if you can obtain half to one whole serving in one snack food, you are on the right track for a healthier snack option.
And now for the million-dollar question: How do you get your kiddos to embrace oatmeal, whole-grain pasta, and whole-wheat bread? Experiment with different things and don't be afraid to add a touch of sugar. A little can go a long way in getting the nutrients past the scrutinizing taste buds. Also, in my house, I find if I don't mention it and just serve it, it will usually go over without a hitch. If they won't eat it, simply keep trying. It is said that it takes up to 14 introductions before kids may accept new foods.
We look forward to reviewing your comments!

Pioneer 11's Jupiter
Date: 3 Dec 1974
This is the first image of the polar region of Jupiter showing changing cloud patterns between the equator and the poles.
Original caption:
THE NORTH POLE OF JUPITER - The planet Jupiter as seen from above its north pole by Pioneer-Saturn (Pioneer 11) at a latitude of about 50 degrees above the equator. The pole itself is roughly on the line of the terminator (boundary between jovian day and night) across the top of the planet.
It is not possible to see into the night hemisphere of Jupiter because it is not luminated. This view of the giant planet has never been seen before, because from the Earth we always see a "full Jupiter" that is the full hemisphere illuminated by the sun. The darkened portion of the planet and the north pole are both at the top of the picture. Holding the picture so that the terminator is at the top, the north pole is at the top also. The blue to greyish areas may be "blue sky", similar to that of the Earth. This is caused by "raleigh scattering" of sunlight by the planet's atmosphere, or from a malfunction of the gain mechanism on the electronic camera.
Experimenters from the University of Arizona are now running checks on the gain of the camera. Experimenters believe that in any case the poles have a bluish cast. This unique polar view also shows rising "convection cells" like thunderstorms on Earth or bubbles in boiling water. The picture shows somewhat more rotary motion of the atmosphere around the planet than some scientists had expected. These rotary features are concentric with Jupiter's bands (the belts and zones); as seen from the Earth these are horizontal and parallel with Jupiter's equator. The picture does suggest that the polar regions are somewhat more placid than the vigorously circulating equatorial areas.
Scientists have suggested that the polar regions are relatively stagnant providing a favorable environment. All the elements for life including the planet's internal enery appear to be present in the polar regions. This view of the planet's north pole was taken from 1,300,000 km (about 750,000 miles) from the huge planet.
After leaving Jupiter enroute to Saturn, the Pioneer 11 spacecraft will fly 100 million miles above the plane of the orbits of the Earth and most of the planets, into unexplored plane of the orbits of the Earth and most of the planets, into unexplored terrritory: there it will study phenomena never seen before originating from areas on the sun far above the solar equator.
The Pioneer project is managed by NASA's Ames Research Center, Mountain View, California.

I saw him like a taller Bledsoe just need an exposure.
I don't have NBA TV but saw on Twitter that Leslie won MVP in the D-League All Star game.
Just hopped down to Santa Cruz to catch a SC Warriors game on Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised to see Travis Leslie, Taylor Griffin and Hilton Armstrong all playing for the Dubs.
Leslie looked awesome. He killed it and ended up with around 30 points. Definitely is shining down in the D-League.
Taylor looked pretty good too. He plays a lot like Blake, but a little more polished. Unfortunately, he seems pretty undersized for a power forward and he doesn't have the skill set to play the small forward.
Armstrong did what Armstrong does... Be tall. That's about it.

Moyamoya disease is a rare blood vessel (vascular) disorder in which a ring of blood vessels at the base of your brain (the circle of Willis) and the uppermost (distal) segments of the arteries supplying the brain progressively narrow, causing blood flow to your brain to become reduced.
The condition may cause a ministroke (transient ischemic attack), stroke or other symptoms.
Moyamoya disease mainly affects children, but adults may have the condition. Moyamoya disease usually occurs in people from Japan and other Asian countries, but people in North America, Europe and other areas also have moyamoya disease.
Moyamoya disease generally occurs in less than 1 person in 100,000. Mayo Clinic doctors evaluate and treat more than 50 people each year with moyamoya disease.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks #1 for neurology and neurosurgery in the U.S. News & World report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is ranked among the Best Hospitals for heart and heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals in neurology and neurosurgery and for heart and heart surgery.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns. We tailor the care you receive to your personal health care needs. You can trust our specialists to collaborate and offer you the best possible outcomes, safety and service.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical institution that reinvests all earnings into improving medical practice, research and education. We're constantly involved in innovation and medical research, finding solutions to improve your care and quality of life. Your doctor or someone on your medical team is likely involved in research related to your condition.
Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.
Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in brain conditions (neurologists) and brain surgery (neurosurgeons) diagnose moyamoya disease.
To diagnose moyamoya disease, your doctor will review your symptoms and your family and medical history. Your doctor will perform a physical examination and order several tests to diagnose moyamoya disease and any underlying conditions.
Tests may include:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of your brain.
Your doctor may inject a dye into a blood vessel to view your arteries and veins and highlight blood circulation (magnetic resonance angiogram).
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. A CT scan uses a series of X-rays to create a detailed image of your brain.
Your doctor may inject a dye into a blood vessel to highlight blood flow in your arteries and veins (CT angiogram).
Cerebral angiogram. In a cerebral angiogram, your doctor inserts a long, thin tube (catheter) into a blood vessel in your groin and guides it to your brain using X-ray imaging.
Your doctor then injects dye through the catheter into the blood vessels of your brain to make them visible under X-ray imaging.
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in brain conditions (neurologists) and brain surgery (neurosurgeons) work together to treat people with moyamoya disease.
Doctors will evaluate your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition. The goal of treatment is to reduce your symptoms, improve your blood flow and lower your risk of serious complications such as strokes, bleeding in your brain (intracerebral hemorrhages) or death.
Your treatment may include:
After you're diagnosed with moyamoya disease, if you have mild or no symptoms at first, then your doctor may recommend you take aspirin to prevent strokes. Consider giving your child over-the-counter pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) to ease symptoms.
If your symptoms become worse or if tests show evidence of low blood flow, your doctor may recommend revascularization surgery.
In revascularization surgery, surgeons bypass blocked arteries to help restore blood flow to your brain. Mayo Clinic doctors may use direct or indirect revascularization procedures, or a combination of both.
Direct revascularization procedures. In direct revascularization surgery, surgeons stitch (suture) the scalp artery directly to a brain artery (superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass surgery) to increase blood flow to your brain immediately.
Direct bypass surgery may be difficult to perform in children, due to the size of the blood vessels to be attached.
Direct revascularization surgery has a risk of complications such as stroke.
Indirect revascularization procedures. Indirect revascularization includes several options. In indirect revascularization, the goal is to increase blood flow to your brain gradually over time. Indirect revascularization may have fewer complications and take less time to conduct than does direct revascularization.
In encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS), your surgeon separates (dissects) a scalp artery over several inches.
Your surgeon makes a small temporary opening in your skull directly beneath the artery and attaches (sutures) the intact scalp artery to the surface of your brain, which allows blood vessels from the artery to grow into your brain over time. The surgeon then replaces the bone and closes the opening in your skull.
In encephalomyosynangiosis (EMS), your surgeon separates (dissects) a muscle in the temple region of your forehead and places it onto the surface of your brain through an opening in your skull to help restore blood flow.
Your surgeon may perform EMS with EDAS. In this procedure, your surgeon separates (dissects) a muscle in the temple region of your forehead and places it onto the surface of your brain, after attaching the scalp artery to the surface of your brain. The muscle helps to hold the artery in place as blood vessels grow into your brain over time.
Your surgeon may remove a portion of a fatty layer of tissue from the abdominal area, place it onto the surface of your brain, and attach the scalp artery to the blood vessel of the fatty layer (omental transplant). This procedure may restore blood flow to your brain.
Your surgeon may make multiple holes (burr holes) in your skull to allow new blood vessels to grow, either as a separate procedure or in combination with other procedures.
Your doctor may use other combinations of direct and indirect revascularization procedures depending on your needs.

From Nazareth to Jordan and Petra
By Lisa – 2012 Fauzi Azar volunteer
Traveling to Jordan couldn't be easier from Nazareth I left on the Tuesday and returned to Israel on the Saturday spending two nights in Petra.
My method of travel was, using a bus company AG AFIFI GROUP. You may want to confirm the day before that you would like to book/reserve a place especially in the high season. The Bus leaves from the office in Nazareth which is located on Paulus street heading out of town, it's about a 20 min walk or you can catch a taxi for about 20 shekels.
The bus departs at 8.30am therefore you need to arrive for about 8am to pay for your ticket and go through the formalities with your passport details etc.
Once on the Bus – the Journey to Sheik Hussein Jordan Bridge crossing takes about 45 min to one hour and you are traveling to Beit She'an. The first stop is the Israeli boarder crossing, you have to exit the bus and go inside the building and first to pay the exit tax which cost's 101 shekels and then you have to go to another counter to have your passport stamped that you have exited Israel.
The next stage is to leave the building (Israeli check point) and get back onto the bus to then take you across to the Jordan boarder and again you have to leave the bus and enter into the Jordan check point. Upon arriving you have to queue at one desk and pay 30 dinar for the Visa which is approx about $50 US dollars. You will receive a couple of stamps for you passport that you then take to another counter and queue again and then you'll be asked a few questions about the purpose of your visit. After some simple questions, you'll receive a one month visa to enter into Jordan. Once the formalities have finished you leave the building and walk to another point to have your luggage scanned and checked. Once this is all completed you then return back to the bus and then enter Jordan through the entry check point. A official will be present on the bus also and the passport will be checked again by one last Jordanian official before the barrier is released and you are officially in Jordan.
If you need to change any shekels at the check point into Dinars, this is very easy therefore do not worry if you haven't organized any dinars before leaving. There is a small exchange to do this on the Jordan boarder side.
Once you are on the Bus, the journey takes about another 2 and half hours the total Journey is approx 5 hours depending on how long the various boarder controls take.
Once inside Jordan you are traveling to the Maraya Hotel on Al Jama'a Street – Amman. The Bus will drop you outside the Hotel you will be greeted by many taxi's to take you on to your onwards journey inside Jordan. My accommodation was based in the Old City of Amman and I paid 10 dinars to get there – which is pretty good considering it took about 35 min to reach my final destination.
The next morning I choose to take a taxi from my hotel down to Petra and sharing a taxi with three other people cost 25 Dinar but it meant we would take the scenic route stopping in Wadi Mujib, Karak and Wadi Musa.
Entrance fees into Petra are 50 dinars for one day or 55 dinars for two days therefore if you have time it's better to pay the extra dinars and you have the opportunity to explore magical Petra for a second time.
There are a range of hotels to choose from in Petra I choose to stay at the Cleopetra Hotel and if it's not too cold you can also opt for a Bedouin camp experience, which is what my travel companions choose the second night, however in early February this is rather to cold for me. The hotel is very friendly the staff were excellent and it's great for a budget hotel with home cooked food a lovely evening meal after a long day on your feet. It has a great write up in Lonely Planet and they organise night trips to Petra twice a week.
When leaving Petra on a Friday, bear in mind some local transport is still running but not all day, I caught the local bus from Petra back to Amman at 9.30am in the morning – the cost was 5 dinars extremely cheap for a journey that takes two hours approx. You are dropped at a central bus station close to the old City in Amman.
I stayed for one further night in Amman and the next Day the AG AFIFI GROUP leaves at 1pm therefore you need to be back at the Mayarya Hotel again, however I choose to take The Trust Bus Company as it leaves at 8.30am in the morning from Amman. You will have to organize a taxi to take you to the office and there you collect the bus to take you to Israel. As it was I was the only passenger they kindly organized me three private taxi's, one to take me to the check point another one through the check point along with someone waiting to take me at the Israeli side back to Nazareth, so it was a fantastic service very well organized and I would highly recommend.

When your canine is sick, you always want to squeeze him. You would like to ensure that he is healthy as well as constantly pleased.
When our dogs are sick, we could not be at ease unless we get a phone call from our veterinarian claiming that he is going to be simply fine. But as we all recognize, an ounce of prevention is far better than a pound of treatment. Sometimes pets can get sick from things outside the invisible fence and could cost you big time.
So just how do we make certain that we provide our pet dog what they require? Everything starts with the appropriate nourishment. And also just what constitutes correct nutrition? Best Puppy Food Brands answers…
Canine health product is extremely important due to the fact that if you ruin your dog's health product, Fido might end up sickly and you might even end up losing him. So let's discuss a few points that we need to know about pet health product.
How much do you supply your canine as well as how frequently
Permit's start by the amount of and also exactly how frequently ought to we feed our dog. This will rely on your canine.
For evident factors, a Great Dane has various eating practices compared to a Shih Tzu. You ought to see your dog's task.
If you have a reasonably active pet like a Doberman or a Shih Tzu, you can feed your pet dogs with larger dishes since you recognize that they will certainly burn of the energy with their normal tasks but if you have among those dogs that is a bit much more tamed like a British Bulldog, then you may wish to lay off a bit on the manages because they may end up over weight which is as considerably a trouble for canines as it is for folks.
Eating time is also a when you can observe your pet if there is a disorder. Allergies call for hypoallergenic dog food for instance. They tend to eat way much less or not whatsoever when they are sick. If you view this, consult your veterinarian. Here is an excellent step to pass though.
Plaything pets (3-12 lbs.) = 1/2 – 1 1/4 mugs
Small dogs (13– 25 lbs.) = 1 1/4 – 2 mugs
Medium dogs (26– 50 lbs.) = 2– 3 3/4 mugs
Huge canines (51– ONE HUNDRED lbs.) = 3 3/4 – 6 3/4 mugs
Bonus big dogs (over ONE HUNDRED pounds.) = 6 3/4 + 1/2 mug for every single 10 lbs. over ONE HUNDRED lbs. physical body weight.
Tinned meals vs. dry meals
Some state that canned meals is better since it appears pets like the preference better and also have less filler. Some say that completely dry meals is better due to the fact that they are much more nutritionally well balanced.
The what's what is, both are fantastic for pets but also for the most part, you ought to attempt to fight a little bit. If you utilize one brand for a very long time, your pet will start losing interest.
That is merely natural so try to cycle the type of pet dog food you utilize. Personally, I like combining tinned as well as completely dry pet dog meals in differing content. Sometimes I place in much more junk food compared to dry and the other way around. Rice could also be added from time to time.
Dry food is fantastic for the teeth because it assists in enhancing gum health and wellness while canned meals appears to taste much better since its not dry. There is nobody straightforward solution as well as you merely have to pay close attention to your pet.
4 crucial food categories
A lot of pet dog meals fulfills the needed marginal standards for appropriate canine health. Always seek the Organization of American Feed Control Officials stamp of approval. Dogs should obtain 4 points daily.
Amino acid: Emphasis even more on pet amino acids and also see to it you get it from a credible source since there are a bunch of lower-class food pet dogs that places in meat from pets that were sick, dying or was already dead prior to being processed. An easy rule of the thumb is if you will not consume it, don't give it to Buster.
Canines need a minimum of 18 % protein in their regular diet regimen and approximately 22 % for duplication and also for young puppies.
Vitamins: There are vitamin supplements available for dogs however makes sure that you do not exceed the healthy demand by way too much because it may cause much more troubles than excellent. Always consult your vet prior to starting to utilize any sort of supplement.
Fat: Dogs requires at least 5 % fat in their diet so please do not buy fat-free dog food specifically if you have a really active dog. Fats supply your pet energy as well as helps in keeping their layers healthy and balanced. But much like vitamins, do not offer excessive of it.
Water: This will depend on exactly how active your dog is. A straightforward common dimension is 1 quart of water each pound of dry pet dog meals.
Pet dog health product is does not need to be quite challenging and also it is not. Proper health product has to be balanced and in correct proportions.
You do not have to purchase one of the most costly dog food for your dog. Simply make certain that you check out the tags and that way, you will have a good idea on exactly how their health product is going. click here for more information

March 31, 1998. After decades of watching the players leave town at the end of Spring Training, the wait for REAL baseball is over! The Arizona Diamondbacks have arrived. And what a park they have arrived to! The BOB has taken the art of stadium design to another level. With its unique shape, bizarre quirks (a swimming pool in center field???), and natural grass under a retractable roof, it is perhaps the finest ballpark in the '90s new wave.
This print takes you back to opening day at Chase Field (formerly Bank One Ballpark). With Andy Benes delivering the pitch to Colorado's Mike Lansing, a new era has begun. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there. You can even see the first-ever pitch on its way to the plate! For fans of the National League's newest franchise, this item belongs in a nice frame in a prominent place on your wall.

|Dog Sled Rides and Skijouring in Vermont
Photo courtesy of October Siberians
I read today that the famous Alaska Iditarod race is starting this Saturday and it lead me to thinking about all the sled dog activity here in Vermont. (Side note: many participants in the sport prefer the term "sled dog" rather than "dog sled" but you will see both terms used even by the people who run professional operations.)
In fact, if you would like to see a sled dog race and won't be in Alaska this week, there is a race you can watch at Burke Mountain Ski Resort in East Burke VT. There will be races both Saturday and Sunday.
A number of operations around Vermont offer sled dog rides and a couple of them offer skijoring too. Skijoring is done on skis and involves the dog(s) pulling the person via a harness attached to the dog. I've seen skijor racing a couple of times and it's impressive how fast they get going. You certainly don't want to fall down . . . I'm not sure the dogs would stop for a while - they're pretty enthusiastic.
The best one-stop source of information about sled dog rides in on the Vermont Outdoor Guide Association website. Atii is listed as one of the sled dog outfits but they are taking a year off from sled dog rides because they are rebuilding their group of dogs. Many of the current dogs have gotten too old to pull. However, Atii is still offering skijoring this year.
It's a unique adventure. Give it a try.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Kristen Schaub Flagship subwoofer delivers rock-solid performance Klipsch's hard-hitting SW-311 combines advanced technology and thoughtful design to perfectly round out a home theater or stereo music system. A high-output 500-watt amplifier produces room-filling bass power like you wouldn't expect from a sub this compact. The strong-yet-light 10" woofer is designed for quick, precise movement, and teams up with a 10" passive radiator to give you an extra mid-bass boost. And since this sub measures just over a cubic foot, it'll deliver the bass you crave without taking away from your room's décor. Advanced technology delivers bass that's optimized for your room Top-mounted controls with an easy-to-read LCD display make it simple to adjust volume, crossover, and more. Klipsch's latest Adaptive Room Correction technology lets you use the included calibration microphone to optimize the SW-311's output for your specific room. You can also select from three preset equalization curves to find just the right amount of "oomph" for your music and movies. And five different presets let you choose the kind of bass performance you need, like "Movie," "Music," or "Night," at the press of a button. Plus, you can adjust the subwoofer's settings to fit your personal tastes, then save them into one of two user-adjustable presets. An infrared sensor on the front of the SW-311 lets you control its main functions using select learning remotes or control systems. A USB input allows for future upgrades, and gives you access to some of the sub's more advanced filter features. And thanks to a line-level output, you can connect multiple subs to your system and enjoy smoother, more consistent even bass throughout your room.

A powered subwoofer gives you bass you can feel as well as hear. Our customers love the depth and impact their subs add to music and movies. We hear comments like "it brings out sounds I didn't know existed in discs I've watched a million times." Powered subwoofers aren't just for big bass that rattles your picture frames; they can also deliver tight, accurate lows. If you haven't shopped for a powered sub in a while, you might be surprised at how small they get. Look for an ultra-compact model if you want to tuck your sub away under an end table or in a corner.

The built-in amplifier is rated at 500 watts RMS (1200 watts Peak). The RMS power rating indicates power available on a continuous, long-term basis. The Peak power rating indicates power available for large, short-term peaks in your music or movie soundtrack. Digital Sound Processing: The Klipsch SW-311 utilizes internal digital sound processing for optimum sound at all volume levels. 10" Fiberglass Woofer: The Klipsch SW-311 powered subwoofer features a front-firing highly damped, non-resonant 10" woven fiberglass driver for tight musical bass. The woofer employs a large 4-layer aluminum-wound voice coil for high volume output. Passive Radiator Design: The Klipsch SW-311 powered subwoofer features a passive radiator design which employs dual side-firing highly damped, non-resonant 10" woven fiberglass passive radiators for greater bass reproduction. Computer Optimized Surrounds: The SW-311's woofer & passive radiators utilize computer optimized rubber surrounds for tighter bass. Power LED Indicator: Located on the powered subwoofer's front baffle, this LED indicates the operating status of the unit's built-in amplifier. The LED will light red when the amplifier is in standby mode and green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal. If the LED is dark and not lit, the amplifier is off. Rubber Feet: The Klipsch powered subwoofer is equipped with four integrated rubber feet to help prevent against vibration. Placement: Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if you place the subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. Controls Top-Panel Controls: All the subwoofer's controls, and changes to control settings are accessed through the keypad and display on the top of the subwoofer's cabinet. The top-panel display's brightness is adjustable to one of 4 levels. Note: You can lock the powered sub's keypad and prevent unintentional changes to your settings by other users. Adaptive Room Correction: The included microphone and integrated Adaptive Room Correction II (ARC) technology optimizes the Klipsch SW-311 for any type of room. The adaptive room correction microphone (ARC-M1) plugs into the subwoofer's rear-panel 3.5mm mic input. The adaptive room correction process is controlled by the subwoofer's top-panel keypad. The unit will measure and analyze your room's acoustics versus the subwoofer's characteristics and apply adaptive room correction to provide optimal bass performance for your specific room environment. Volume Control: You can use the left/right keys on the top-panel keypad to adjust the subwoofers volume level to match the output of your system's main speakers. EQ Mode: The Klipsch SW-311 offers three different EQ modes to provide bass emphasis. You can select from Punch, Depth, or Flat. Each is designed to complement different types of audio material, such as movie soundtracks or music. The Punch setting emphasizes the 55Hz region, while the depth setting boosts the 30Hz range. The Flat setting defeats the Punch and Depth setting for a flatter frequency response. Lowpass Crossover: The Klipsch SW-311 powered subwoofer features a variable lowpass crossover which is adjustable from 40-150Hz. The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are "handed-off" from your AV system's loudspeakers to the Klipsch powered subwoofer. Set the crossover point based on the size of your systems' main left/right speakers. As a general rule, for larger, floor-standing speakers, set the crossover point between 50-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or satellite speakers for your mains, set the crossover point between 90-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend well between the loudspeakers and the Klipsch powered sub. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the Lowpass Filter off. Lowpass Slope: The lowpass slope function is used to adjust how aggressively the subwoofer rejects frequencies above the low pass filter's setting. There are four settings to choose from - 18, 24, 36, and 48 dB/octave. The higher the number the more the upper frequencies are removed from the subwoofer's output. Phase: The Klipsch SW-311 powered subwoofer has an adjustable phase control which can be set between 0° and 180°. This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to your system's main speakers. Select a position between 0° and 180°, in which the subwoofer has more output at your main listening position. Saved Presets: You can store all of the subwoofer's audio control settings (Room Correction, Volume, EQ, Lowpass, Phase) in one of five memory presets - Music, Movie, Night, User 1, and User 2. This way you can save and recall grouped audio settings for different audio content. Auto On: You can select Auto On or Always On. The Auto-On Circuit turns the amplifier on when an audio signal is detected and off after approximately 20 minutes with no input signal. IR Sensor: An infrared remote control sensor is included on the front of the subwoofer for integration with A/V remote control systems. The IR codes for this subwoofer can be obtained by visiting the Klipsch website. Note: A dedicated remote control does not exist for this unit. Connections Line-Level Input: The Klipsch SW-311 powered subwoofer is equipped with a pair of line-level RCA-type inputs. Most of today's AV receivers have a line-level subwoofer output (LFE) labeled Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, or SW Out. If your receiver has this output, connect on end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable into the powered subwoofer's line-level input labeled "LEFT/LFE". This connection allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound movies. In absence of a subwoofer (LFE) output on your receiver, as an alternative hookup, you can connect Left & Right channel pre-amp outputs from a receiver to the "Left/LFE" and "Right" input on the powered subwoofer. Line-Level Output: The SW-311's mono line-level (RCA-type) output can be used as an alternate method of connecting a second powered subwoofer in your home theater system. The signal output from this mono RCA jack is effected by the Volume, EQ, Lowpass, Phase, and Room Correction settings of this subwoofer. The advantage of this, is the ability for the Klipsch SW-311's Adaptive Room Correction function to correct the response of the second subwoofer, resulting in a more accurate response. USB (type-B): This computer interface allows access to additional advanced features within the subwoofer's room correction software. Optional, proprietary Klipsch software and a higher level of technical knowledge are required to correctly utilize this capability. This port can also function as an alternative control interface with A/V control systems that can utilize a USB hookup. 12-Volt Trigger: The SW-311 features a 12-volt trigger input (3.5mm) which turns on the powered subwoofer when a 12-volt trigger signal from a connected receiver is detected. WA Port (optional): The Klipsch powered subwoofer is fitted with a proprietary 4-pin "WA-Port" connector for wireless operation, using Klipsch's optional WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit (714WA2, sold separately). The Klipsch WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit consists of two components; a wireless Transmitter & wireless Receiver. The WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit makes adding the Klipsch powered subwoofer to your home theater system much easier, because it replaces the need for a separate subwoofer cable that traditionally must be connected between the receiver and the powered sub. Now, you can easily place your powered subwoofer where it both sounds and looks best in the room since you're not restricted by an audio cable.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 130
LOL. I thought the TD at our Ace Race was Loud, but your guy puts him to Shame! :)
Would love to see more videos from you! What kind of camera are you using? What kind of Production/Editing program do you use? I would LOVE to try doing some DG videos, I just have no idea about the technical stuff.
I actually have three HD cameras right now. I have a panasonic HDC-sd60 and a Panasonic HDC-sd9 plus a kodak playsport I use for my fishing videos. The SD60 is a 1080i and the sd9 and playsport are 1080p. The playsport is not that great for disc golf but it does have a 720p 60FPS(frames per second) option which is supposed to be great for action stuff but I have yet to try it out. This video was all done with the SD60 but the others I have done I have used both. The sd60 is nice because it has a great zoom up to 25x optical and a 35x intelligent zoom. Sd9 is only 10x optical zoom but is a 3ccd sensor and 1080p which is supposed to be a better picture but I am not sure how much difference it makes. It did cost almost a $1000 when it came out and still goes for that price now. It was given to me by someone who upgraded their equipment. The SD60 was about $325 and the playsport $115. You also have to remember that you need extra batteries and these are SDHC card only units so you have to buy cards for each one of them too. I use the transcend because they are the best price and I have yet to have any issues with them. They run about $25 for a 16 GB and $50 for 32GB. I have 16GB's and have yet to run out of time.
Now editing is another beast. I use Power Director 9 because I still have vista. I believe though you can use Movie Maker if you have 7 and not really sure about mac specs. The file extensions are .MTS for SD9 and .M2TS for the SD60. Vista hates both of them so that is why I use PD 9.
Biggest issue with the whole HDvideo thing is space to store the video. I have 640GB on my computer plus a 320GB and a 500gb external hard drive also. The 320 is about full and the 500 is about a 1/3rd the way. I am going to delete some of my old stuff to make more room.
Editing is the worst part really. You may have 1 hour of video to as many as six hours of video or more then end up with a 15 minute show when your done. My bass fishing stuff is real bad for that but disc golf is really not as bad. Then comes the whole loading to youtube deal which depending on the final size of the video and what you put it at as far your HD setting can take hours on end to load. Not trying to discourage anyone from doing it but just be prepared for some long hours and some major headaches. Any questions you got just ask and I will help as best I can.
Oh yea I don't even want to think about 3D!!!!!
Here are some of my other channels that I do.
One is bass fishing and the other is Geocaching.
http://www.youtube.com/user/widegap Bassfishing- Some of my first videos here were standard def stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/user/TeamSearchgeo Geocaching
Plus I do video for the high school band that my sons are in and two radio shows. Heck no wonder I am tired all the time!!!
The only problem with the gopro for disc golf is the fixed lens. Great for fishing ,which is like the playsport, but not so great for disc golf or at least I would not think so.
Right now amazon has the SD-80 which is a step up from mine for less than I paid for mine a year ago or the SD-90 for $80 more and it is 3d compatible.
I will say so far i am really pleased with my choices of camcorders. All have performed really well. I may try to upgrade to 3D next year but I am not sure how feasible that will be. I can't imagine what kind of space the 3D video will take up.
In the end it really is a gut feeling. When I read reviews I tend to eliminate the over the top ones and the bottom ones and look somewhere in the middle for the truth. I do feel the gopro would be a nice camcorder for stuff that is right in front of you but you definitely need a camcorder with a zoom to catch the disc's flight.

Here it is, folks - the one you've been waiting for! One of the world's all-time top-selling posters, this simple but evocative image was set up by photographer Martin Elliott with his girlfriend (one Fiona Butler) in 1976 on a whim, and within a year, was hanging on the wall of hundreds of thousands in England and and around the world! Aside from the obvious naughtiness, everything about it is superb: the court, the trees, the early-evening sunlight, the classic wooden racquet - giving it that once-in-a-lifetime magical appeal that made the young photographer rich, and made generations of young men pine after this poster!
After decades of being locked away, out-of-print and in limbo, the estate of Mr. Elliott has finally released the rights to reproduce this image in a new door-sized edition that's just as bright, clear and beautiful as the original! Whether you've been waiting for ages, or if it just now caught your eye, don't miss your chance at adding this classic to your wall and your collection.

Sebastian Vettel believes the F1 teams with the bigger budgets will be successful in 2014, in spite of the rules changes that come into effect next year...
Sebastian Vettel admitted that the rules changes that come into effect in 2014 makes the season somewhat unpredictable, the world champion is confident that the teams with big squads - like Red Bull - won't be affected too much.
Although there have been suggestions that the smaller teams will have an opportunity to close the gap to the likes of Red Bull in 2014 with the introduction of V6 turbocharged engines as well as changes to the permitted aerodynamic characteristics of the cars, the four-time World Champion has downplayed the effect the rules changes would have on the teams with bigger budgets.
"It's very difficult to express expectations, especially with the new engine," Vettel, who is one again the clear-cut favourite with online bookmaker Paddy Power to win the title, told Autosport.
"Nobody really knows what is going to happen but I think it will help the big teams at the front again, so the usual teams.
"It's not clear in which order and it might be that the gaps are much bigger than they are now.
"It's tricky because we don't know how the races are going to unfold and trying to manage only 100kg of fuel on Sunday could be tricky, so we will see."
Vettel's new team-mate Daniel Ricciardo - who joined the Constructors' Championship winners after the departure of Mark Webber - echoed the German record-breaker's statements.
"If Red Bull next year are not on the pace through testing and maybe the first few races, I have faith in the guys that they would find a solution pretty quickly," the Australian, who will be expected to challenge for podiums and wins by Paddy Power.
"I expect, at least after the first four or five races, for the top teams still to be the top teams.
"Whether the midfield is going to spread out or get closer, I don't know.
"I would love everyone to close up. We definitely don't want to see five-second gaps between the first and the last car."

Plasma constitutes an important part of the blood. The proteins and salts in plasma perform vitally important functions. Blood clotting, removal of toxins from the body, and the transportation of nutrients are just a few of the tasks that proteins perform. Plasma carries out the transportation-delivery function within the body, with never any confusion or error. These proteins exist in the plasma of all humans, performing exactly the same functions. It is of course Allah, the Lord of All, Who endows the proteins constituting the liquid plasma with their intelligence.
Each of these substances, of such exceeding importance to human life, is the product of a very special creation, as becomes clear when one considers their functions and characteristics.
As you have seen, there are close interrelations between the substances in the blood. The absence of just one of these substances of vital importance to all human beings, or its presence in the wrong amount or with different properties, leads to serious problems in the body. This shows that all the properties of blood were created together by Allah.
Throbocytes traveling widely dispersed through the blood.
Every part of the body is equipped with a system consisting of millions of vessels, through which blood constantly flows. As the result of the small scratches or cuts that the body is occasionally subject to, the liquid flowing through these tubes leaks to the surface. Under normal conditions, one might expect all the blood in the body to flow through this hole, so that even the tiniest cut leads to the death of the individual. Yet that is not what happens. The blood begins to clot around the wound, and the coagulated blood then blocks the gap, just like hardened putty.This situation resembles a hole in the bottom of a bucket being repaired by being blocked up in order to prevent water leaking out of it.
This, there can be no doubt, is a great miracle. This property of blood saves the life of every human on Earth. Were it not for that coagulating ability, then even the tiniest scratch would end in death. However, people never think about this miracle that lies right before their very eyes and so preserves their lives.
So, how does this miracle come about? How does blood coagulate? As the answer to this question is pursued, a very clear miracle of creation emerges.
Coagulation is reminiscent of the first aid provided by ambulances called to the scene after an auto accident.
Blood flowing in your capillaries immediately beneath the skin leaks out as the result of the slightest scratch or cut (top). Shortly afterward, blood around the cut begins to coagulate (middle picture). Fibrin with its soft structure begins to dry after stopping up the wound, and forms a hard shell to protect the wound until the healing process is complete (bottom).
When bleeding takes place anywhere in the body, blood platelets known as thrombocytes hasten to the site. Thrombocytes are distributed throughout the bloodstream, so wherever bleeding occurs there will inevitably be thrombocytes somewhere near.
A substance known as the von Willebrand protein acts rather like the traffic police, indicating the site of the accident and requesting first aid. It halts the thrombocytes when it detects them and causes them to halt at the scene.
The first thrombocyte to arrive on the scene emits a special substance, just as if it were calling for back-up, and calls other teams to the site. A microscopically small cell realizes that there is a problem and is able to communicate with others, which understand the message being sent out and do what is requested of them. Tiny entities invisible to the naked eye thus communicate with one another and organize themselves.
At this point, some 20 enzymes in the body combine and together, begin producing a protein called thrombin over the wound. The absence of just one of these enzymes would mean that the system would not function, and death would be the result. However, everything has been planned, and the system has been constructed in a flawless manner.
Thrombin is produced only at the site of an open wound. This resembles the first-aid team providing the necessary medicine for the patient at the scene. In addition, that production of this protein must be in just the right quantity, and moreover, it must start and end at exactly the right time. The enzymes responsible for manufacturing the protein issue among themselves the commands to start and stop.
Once a sufficient quantity of this protein has been produced, tiny fibers known as fibrinogen form, serving a very important purpose: They form a web over the wound, to which arriving thrombocytes adhere and accumulate. As more and more thrombocytes accumulate, the bleeding slows.
Afterward, once the wound is completely healed, the scab dissolves by means of similar processes.15
Consider that these enzymes and proteins consist of strings of inanimate, blind, unconscious atoms. Yet each one of these assumes a function right from the outset once an injury has occurred. They swiftly hasten to the scene, organize themselves to halt the bleeding, produce the requisite proteins as if filling an order, communicate with others to call for assistance, understand the messages received from one another, and fulfill their functions.
The system functions flawlessly, right down to the finest detail. Now, consider what would happen were there to be any flaw in this vital system: If blood began to coagulate in the absence of any wound, or if the scab that formed over the wound peeled away from it, or if the proteins that play a role in coagulation had trouble communicating—if any one of these occurred, then we would face clotting in the vessels leading to such vital organs as the heart, lungs or brain, and death would ensue due to loss of blood.
Your body does not need coagulation to take place only around visible wounds. We also need a clotting system to repair the breaks in capillaries, which happen very frequently but of which, of course, you are generally unaware. When you bang your knee against a table or chair, a large number of these capillary vessels rupture, leading to internal bleeding. But thanks to the clotting system, the bleeding immediately stops, to be followed by the healing process begins.
Left: Cells providing coagulation. Right: Fibrin threads imprisoning blood cells (during clotting).
If no clotting occurred, the result would be the disorder known as hemophilia. Hemophiliacs need to be protected from even the slightest blow, because particularly in the advanced stages of the disease in even the smallest bleeding cannot be stopped, and that leads to the patient's death from blood loss.
Thrombin is a protein that coagulates the blood. However, although thrombin is present in the bloodstream it does not lead to clotting in the capillaries it moves through, thereby halting the normal flow of blood. So how does thrombin suddenly acquire its coagulating property in moments of need?
Thrombin is widely present in the bloodstream but in the form of the inactive protein prothrombin. Since prothrombin is still inactive, it cannot enable the formation of the substance fibrin which is necessary for the clotting process by putting the fibrinogen into action. Living things are thus protected from deadly uncontrolled clotting.
Consider that if only fibrinogen and prothrombin assumed duties in the blood clotting system, this could have deadly effects. In that case, when a person was injured, the prothrombin would roam aimlessly through the bloodstream, not affecting the fibrinogen, and the person concerned would die from loss of blood. Since prothrombin lacks the ability to turn fibrinogen into fibrin, there is a need for some mechanism to set prothrombin into action—and such a system actually does exist.
During the clotting process, another protein called Stuart factor affects the prothrombin, converting it into the active thrombin. Thrombin in turn converts fibrinogen into fibrin, and blood clotting thus takes place.
However, if the Stuart factor, prothrombin and fibrinogen were the only proteins to play a role in coagulation, the Stuart factor would immediately start working and the organism's blood would solidify. For that reason Stuart factor is not present in the blood in an active form, but needs to be activated in order to start working.
At this point, coagulation displays more striking properties. It is not enough for the active Stuart factor to set the prothrombin in motion. You can mix Stuart factor and prothrombin together in a test tube, but after it takes time thrombin to form, any individual will already have died of blood loss. Yet another protein, known as accelerin, is needed to set the Stuart factor in motion. When all of these come together, the accelerin and Stuart factor immediately act on the prothrombin, turning it into thrombin and halting the bleeding.
To summarize, two separate proteins are needed to activate one proenzyme.
Yet the processes involved in coagulation go still further. Initially, in fact, the accelerin is in the form of the inactive proaccelerin. So what activates the proaccelerin? Thrombin! As you will recall, however, thrombin is further along than proaccelerin in this chain reaction. This means that thrombin, which plays a role in the production of accelerin, is rather like a grandchild appearing before the birth of its own grandparent. Yet since the Stuart factor acts on the prothrombin at a very slow rate, there is always some thrombin in the bloodstream. (Michael Behe, Op cit., pp. 85-90.)
All this is a rather superficial account of the coagulation process. Yet from this brief description, you can still see how blood clotting, which we encounter frequently in our daily lives—is actually exceedingly complex, a marvel of creation. This system functions by means of dozens of components working together, and could not function properly in the absence of any one of them. To suggest that it came into being by chance is a most illogical and irrational claim.
Moreover, evolutionists claim that living things evolved in stages. But as you have seen, all proteins and enzymes in the clotting process depend on one another for clotting to occur. In the absence of any one, the others serve no purpose, and will even lead to the death of the body concerned. Therefore, the living organism will have no time to wait for all the components to be present, and will thus die. Whatever appearance it now displays, and whatever physical and chemical features it now possesses, it must have had them all since it first appeared. This is one of the proofs that Man was created by Allah in a single moment.
Say: "Have you thought about your partner deities, those you call upon besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth; or do they have a partnership in the heavens? Have We given them a Book whose Clear Signs they follow? No indeed! The wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusion." (Surah Fatir:40)
It is essential that the clotting property in our blood exist, but it also needs to be subject to strict supervision. As you can clearly see from the information provided, such a system can definitely not form in the living body by chance. This system, whose every detail is the product of planning and calculation, is an indication of the Allah's infinite knowledge, intellect and power. To maintain that this system came about by chance in fact expresses the logical collapse of Darwinism.
Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? (Surat an-Nahl:17)

The anchor point that allows the saw's angle to be set broke a couple years back and saved the part in spite of not having access to welding equipment, glad I did. I pre-eated with a heat gun on high for about a minute and set the MM140 to 6/90 but after a blast or two upped it to 7/100. It looks ok. We'll see with use.
Absolutely delighted that I bought this welder!!! I know this isn't a masterpiece of ingenuity in design and build but it sure feels good fixing broken stuff.

Elliott Stockard doesn't sing for a living, but he'll sing on your computer screen if you'd like.
Google him or YouTube him or whatever, or just take my word that he's got a song called "Run for the Money," where he sings, "I know some 'bout the things that you done / Know about the secrets you hold."
If you're a notable musician in Nashville, there's a fair chance he's singing those lines about you. There's a fair chance you told him those things, those secrets. And there's a fair chance he ruminated on those things with you, and that you both emerged wiser and kinder for the experience.
"Elliott is about being willing to get in the dirt and dig and get to that place in ourselves that we so often mask," says virtuoso bass man Michael Rhodes. "He's about getting down to the nitty gritty. He presided over a men's group that a lot of us were in, and the meetings were like dry-docking a ship and scraping barnacles off that we all collect everyday. He's a wise man, a blues healer, an elder, a psychic plumber, and the essence of an anecdote."
(By the way, Rhodes says all that in real-time conversation, not via some long-considered email. I'm glad he's good enough at bass not to need a gig as a Nashville newspaper columnist.)
