Starting June 2, anyone who buys a new Windows 7 PC will be able to upgrade to Windows 8 for $15 once the new operating system launches. The deal provides an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro from any version of Windows 7, and will be valid until January 31, 2013.
But if you have any interest in Windows 8 at all, you should skip this deal and wait for new hardware designed with the operating system in mind.
Hardware will play a big role in the allure of Windows 8. Because the OS is meant to accommodate touchscreens, many PC makers are working on laptop-tablet hybrids. Some of the devices may have detachable keyboards, like Asus' Transformer line of Android tablets, while others may be convertible, like Lenovo's Yoga or Intel's Cove Point reference design. Given the emphasis Windows 8 will place on touch controls, you should at least wait to see what these PC makers come up with.
Even if you're not interested in touchscreens, you'll still want to wait for Windows 8 laptops with trackpads designed for the OS. Microsoft is working with Synaptics and other companies to build gesture control drivers for these laptops, but to work properly, they'll need edge detection. By swiping from the edges, users will be able to bring up the multitasking menu, shut down Metro-style apps, or open the charms bar. Laptops that can't do this will miss out on a big part of the Windows 8 experience.
Exceptions to this buying advice: Buyers of desktop PCs without touchscreen monitors, and people who are so disgusted by the concept of Windows 8 that they are purposely getting a Windows 7 PC to avoid the new operating system.

Wildlife authorities in Thailand have found adult tiger skins and fangs during a raid on the "tiger temple" tourist attraction, and intercepted a monk who was trying to leave in a car that was carrying skins.
Separately, officials said they would press charges against the Buddhist temple after 40 tiger cubs were found in a freezer on Wednesday.
The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) moved in this week to relocate 137 tigers to government-run sanctuaries after repeated allegations of animal trafficking. The temple claims the tigers will be worse off.
"Today we found tigers skins and amulets in a car which was trying to leave a temple," said Adisorn Noochdumrong, the deputy director of the DNP. He said a search of several monks' quarters yielded further body parts, bringing Thursday's haul to two full-body tiger skins, about 10 fangs and dozens of pieces of tiger fur.
Volunteers, staff and monks at Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua temple complex have long denied trafficking allegations. But international animal rights groups including WWF and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals applauded the raid.
Police Col Bandith Meungsukhum told AFP the dead cubs would have been one or two days old. He said their DNA would be tested to see if they were related to tigers at the temple.
The temple claims it decided in 2010 to stop cremating the cubs and preserve them to "keep as proof against the allegations of selling cubs".
Thailand is a central route for the illegal wildlife trade through south-east Asia, including for ivory, rhino horn and live animals. Tiger parts, including bones and penises, are used in traditional Chinese medicine.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species banned the trade in tiger parts and products in 2007.
The raid is the culmination of a battle that has been going on for years between the government and the temple.
Thailand has an estimated 1,200-1,300 captive tigers.

If they are well looked after, including proper diet and husbandry, bearded dragons are reasonably hardy animals. Common health conditions of pet bearded dragons include CANV, atadenovirus, metabolic bone disease, parasites, infectious stomatitis (mouth rot), and respiratory infections. Any change from normal is cause for concern and should be immediately evaluated by your veterinarian.
Turtles commonly suffer from vitamin A deficiency, respiratory diseases, abscesses, shell infections, shell fractures, and parasites. Vitamin A deficiency (hypovitaminosis A) occurs as a result of feeding turtles an inappropriate diet. Symptoms include a lack of appetite, lethargy, swelling of the eyelids, swelling of the ear, kidney failure, and respiratory infections. Respiratory tract infections are most often caused by bacteria. Abscesses are treated surgically and may also require antibiotics. Shell infections can be challenging to treat. Gastrointestinal parasites are treated with appropriate deworming medications. Seek immediate veterinary care if there is any deviation from normal in your aquatic turtle.
Common conditions of pet snakes include infectious stomatitis, parasites, skin infections, inclusion body disease, respiratory disease, and septicemia. Infectious stomatitis may not be a primary disease but may be secondary to an injury to the mouth or to husbandry issues such as poor nutrition, improper environmental temperature or humidity, or overcrowding. Both internal parasites and external parasites may cause diarrhea, breathing difficulties, regurgitation, swelling of internal organs, itching, skin irritation, anemia, mouth infection, and weight loss. Cryptosporidiosis can cause thickening of the stomach muscles, impaired digestion, vomiting, and weight loss. Dermatitis is often seen in snakes kept in environments that are too moist and/or dirty. Inclusion body disease is a serious viral disease in which affected snakes cannot right themselves when placed on their backs, may appear to be star gazing, and may be paralyzed. Most respiratory infections in snakes are caused by bacteria but may also be caused by viruses, fungi, and parasites. Septicemia in snakes occurs when bacteria and their toxins proliferate in the blood stream causing lethargy, lack of appetite, open-mouth breathing, red discoloration to the scales, and death.
Metronidazole is given by mouth or injection and is used off-label to treat certain anaerobic bacterial and protozoal infections and gastrointestinal conditions in dogs, cats, and other animals. Give as directed. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, regurgitation, decreased appetite, tiredness, and drooling. Do not use in pets that are allergic to it, are debilitated, or are pregnant or nursing. If a negative reaction occurs, contact your veterinarian.

MIAMI, FL – Aliens have finally fessed up over the famed model with the missing navel.
It recently came to light that fashion model Karolina Kurkova is in fact missing a belly button. Many of Karolina's earlier photos had included strategically-placed clothing or been outright digitally altered. But recent shots of the model on a bikini shoot revealed her true nature.
Medical specialists are claiming her lack of navel is due to an abdominal operation during infancy, but Weekly World News has learned the real reason.
Aliens have stepped forward and claimed responsibility: they created Kurkova! "Many critics say super models are freaks of nature. Well, technically, they are!" explained K'toh, owner of Galaxy Models.
"We clone perfect human beings and lease them out to Earth-based modeling agencies. Since clones do not grow in the womb, they aren't born with belly buttons. We just add them on post-creation.
"Unfortunately, Karolina #89's missing navel was an oversight. Her technician has since been let go. We'll be more than happy to refund her agency DNA Model Management if they are unsatisfied!"

The other day, I wrote about the idea that the BBC should go open-source and that, as a public trust, it should support rather than compete with media companies, giving them traffic when appropriate and the fruits of their experimentation. Ashley Highfield, director of new media and technology at the BBC, just gave a speech outlining some pieces of its relationship with other companies and more….
I welcomed Graf's recommendation that we should implement a more systematic and comprehensive approach to linking from bbc.co.uk to external sites for example.
The power of taking audiences from a programme on BBC ONE to a site on bbc.co.uk and then out into cyberspace is huge – but I think we could go so much further. And we are trying: 9.5m users in March used BBC content syndicated to third party sites such as AOL and MSN; 23% of those users did not visit bbc.co.uk at all in March.
So far from being a 800 pound gorilla crushing the green shoots of plucky cyber-sowers, I believe we have the potential to have a significant and positive market impact….
But can we really deliver a genuine win-win-win for audiences, the BBC, and the commercial sector? And if so, how?
Firstly, we at the BBC must recognise that the internet is changing. It is becoming more translucent and porous – less silo'd. It's becoming less centrally controlled – if it ever was.
Peer to peer and other technologies are shifting the power from the centre to the nodes at the edge of the network: you and me. This is a tough culture shift for an organisation used the certainties of the broadcast world.
Used to the idea of almost total control over what and how you watch, listen and consume, we must now learn to "loosen up and let go" as the Buddhist lama Surya Das puts it….
But we also believe our audience want much more as well. To find our content where they want it, whether within their favourite portal like MSN, their community like YouTube, or their environment like the Second Life virtual world website.
They want to contribute their content – this we know – but not necessarily always on our site, so we absolutely don't want to become a MySpace or a Flickr or a Friends Reunited, we want to work with these players, to partner our relevant offerings with theirs.
In short we want to shift from being a gateway, to being a conduit, a channel for conveying content, and frequently neither the start nor the end of the journey….
I believe that how we deliver our programmes, the context, will be every bit as important as the content. Success in the web 2.0 world for all of us will come down to 'discoverability'….
The ultimate aspiration is to bring all of these new initiatives together into a comprehensive re-think of what the BBC's public service offering on the web should look like….
Not through expansionism but partnership – partnership with commercial companies and with our audience, achieving a balance between the need for some central control and coordination, and 'letting go'.
By George, they're getting it.

GURNEE, IL–On the surface, the home of John and Beth Secora looks just like any other suburban residence. But this seemingly ordinary dwelling harbors a secret: It is haunted by two incredibly boring ghosts.
"They really don't do much," Beth said. "Once in a while, John and I will see our Uno cards spread out all over the kitchen table or the refrigerator door left slightly ajar. If we go out on a Sunday afternoon, sometimes we come back to find a few coupons clipped out of the newspaper for things we never use, like cream of mushroom soup or Metamucil. As haunting goes, it's pretty tame stuff."
The couple first felt an otherworldly presence just days after moving into the home in November 2002.
"We would feel this slowly increasing chill, like someone else was in the room with us," Beth said. "Then, we'd notice that even though we set the thermostat at 72 degrees, someone or something had turned it down to 68. We'd turn it up, and they'd turn it back down. We finally just gave up and started wearing sweaters."
Determined to rid their house of the mundane wraiths, the Secoras enlisted the help of psychic Mary Harrow.
"We held a séance in our living room, using a Ouija board to ask them questions," John said. "We made contact, but rather than give us yes-or-no answers, they would blather on about how their daughter in Maine never calls or argue about the location of the good pot-roast pan. After about 10 minutes, we felt one of the spirits leave the room to turn on the TV in the den and watch the PGA Masters."
After the séance, the ghosts–who Harrow suspects are the home's previous owners, a middle-aged couple who died of radon poisoning–began leaving more evidence of their presence. Among the signs were an improperly re-coiled garden hose and an uncapped toothpaste tube, as well as cryptic messages left on the steamed-up bathroom mirror, including, "We're almost out of toilet paper."
In March, after four months of disturbances, the Secoras began to hear voices.
"One day at breakfast, we heard a disembodied male voice groaning, 'Honeeey, where are my dress socks?'" John said. "It went on like that for almost an hour. We left out dress socks of all colors, but to no avail. Then, we started hearing more messages from beyond: 'Have you seen my keys?' 'Get almonds when you go to the store.' 'Did you pick up my suit from the cleaners?' Nothing remotely spooky or even interesting."
In spite of the ghosts' inoffensive personalities and overall unintrusiveness, Beth and John say they are near the end of their rope.
"Something has to be done," Beth said. "It's like having a party guest that shows up too early and stays too late but doesn't drink and doesn't have anything to say. If we have to be haunted, the least they could do is toss some plates around or do something to liven things up."
"Whenever anyone finds out that our house is possessed by ghosts, they always act like it's a big deal, but believe me, it isn't," John said. "Unless you consider some invisible force dusting an endtable or flipping through the Sunday Pennysaver scary."

In addition, to distorting our partners, we sometimes provoke them into giving us a certain response. For example, my friend who wanted to go on a weekend getaway recognized that, although her husband prefers to live more spontaneously and not spend too much time on practicalities, she would often insist on talking to him about travel plans, home renovations and financial matters well in advance of when was necessary. She soon realized that she didn't even care all that much about these things, but something was compelling her to push her husband away by bringing up topics that would distance him from her. By "nagging" at her husband, not only was she preventing more personal and meaningful interactions between them, but she was provoking him to lose interest in certain activities, which then made her feel critical of him. We must always be aware of how we select, provoke and distort our partners to fill roles that recreate our past. The better we understand ourselves, the better able we are to choose partners who support us just as we support them, as the unique, complex, and independent individuals we are. We can then interrupt patterns that would prevent us from "seeing" our partners — misinterpreting their actions to fit an old feeling about ourselves. Lastly, we can then be careful not to provoke our partners to act out in ways that hurt us, them and naturally, the relationship. By remaining wary of these negative influences, we give our relationships the best chance possible of lasting long and making us happy.

When you stop living your life
based on what others think

At that moment,
you will finally see

Traveling to a new country can be challenging and hard. Now imagine navigating with language barriers and a culture different from your own. Living and teaching in Korea is a unique experience that requires the right mindset and an understanding that things can go often not the way you expected.
From experience, any person living in Korea will tell you to prepare yourself mentally and do research. Reading blogs and tourism sites about what are must-have apps and must-see things to do will help prepare you for life in the Korea. However, having lived in Korea for a few years now, I thought it would be a good idea to write a blog about five essential tools, that you may not find during your research, that will make your life a lot easier during your time abroad.Read More

Why Effective Employee Management Is Important
When it comes to the success of your business, you must never disregard the role that effective employee management plays in it. A recent study involving businesses have shown that small businesses can develop into something more when employee management is done effectively. You need not wonder then why it has become very easy for small business to develop into something much bigger. And so, whatever size your company has, take note that there will always be some effective employee management programs meant to help you out.
If you look at recent statistics, you will come to realize how beneficial using employee management strategies is becoming among companies. Just by looking at these statistics, you will be amazed to know that in applying employee management methods to your company, you can 23% higher profit growth, 22% higher revenue growth, and more than 66% of employee turnover reduction.
Now, what are the reasons for employee management being very important in this day and age?
An effective employee management program is usually comprised of certain things. If you say employee management that is effective, it begins with understanding what the job description really entails and then from there, finding out the best person that will not just fit the job well but the company too. What is being done through employee management as the employees are hired is that they are being respected and empowered by their superiors. Being organized is also crucial to being an effective employee manager. Thus, the road to effective employee management starts with ensuring that your office is in order.
What can lead to becoming an unsuccessful business owner is not taking the time at all to do some filing or just putting off your documents in drawers and piles that you will most likely forget about. Later never happens and the employee whom you assumed to be promising is not performing as expected but then you cannot get to do some review of their resume or their references. Effective employee management again starts with your being able to have the time to keep the necessary information being readily available by properly organizing your files.
The skills needed for particular jobs must also be kept in mind to applying effective employee management. You can hire employees most suitable for the job when you do understand its implications. What happens next is you making sure to provide some empowerment to the employees that you have hired. When you do this, you are able to pick up on certain parts of your company that can really benefit from your direct supervision. As you show your employees that you trust them, not only will you be getting the best results but be able to retain them in the long run.

The American Adventure pavilion in Epcot is not a place one necessarily associates with great food, but you'd be surprised how many special little treats you can find here!
This is the only spot in Epcot where you can pick up a funnel cake (and the seasonal pumpkin spice funnel cake!), the shop here often sells interesting and classic American candy, and the Fife and Drum Tavern has become the epicenter of some of Disney World's most beloved treats!
The Fife and Drum is basically a permanent kiosk at the "outskirts" of the American Adventure pavilion in Disney World's Epcot.
There are two ordering windows, and guests are expected to take their eats and sit at the sea of tables that lies between the Liberty Inn counter-service restaurant and the Fife and Drum.
What I've realized in the past couple of months as Fife and Drum has added to their menu is that this spot seems to be a magnet for Disney food cult favorites as well as obscure, random items! Classics like turkey legs, popcorn, and cream cheese pretzels are coupled with rarities like the American Dream slushie and frozen Jim Beam Red Stag lemonade!
Let's go through some of the fan favorites and random options on the menu to get a better feel for what you can order at this little hot spot of Disney food goodness…
American Dream slushie
Currently, this spot is one of the only spots in Disney World where you can get the American Dream slushie, a mixture of strawberry and raspberry slushies and soft serve vanilla ice cream! (This the only place where it's called an American Dream. A similar slushie, minus the ice cream, is found at Sleepy Hollow in the Magic Kingdom.)
This hidden treat is a guest favorite, and the combo of sweet-tart flavors and textures is a fun one!
Frozen Jim Beam Red Stag Lemonade
Also available here in the slushie/beverage department is the Frozen Jim Beam Red Stag lemonade, a leftover from the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival. Again, this is another item that you can ONLY find here.
Jim Beam Red Stag is a black cherry flavored bourbon, and does indeed give the drink a kick! I liked it a lot at the festival, and I'm glad it's stayed on as a menu offering.
Jalapeno Cheese Pretzel
Another offering at the Fife and Drum that is actually quite rare in Disney World these days is the outstanding Jalapeno Cheese Pretzel. This, predictably, is a soft pretzel stuffed with jalapenos and cheese, and even though I love hot and spicy things and consider myself to have a high tolerance, this snack does offer a lot of spicy flavor! It's become one of my very favorite snacks recently!
You can only find this treat in two or three locations in Disney World, so hurry over before they decide to cut back more!
Cream Cheese Pretzel
Another rare stuffed pretzel found at the Fife and Drum is the Cream Cheese Stuffed Pretzel. This soft pretzel treat has a sweet cream cheese filling that's pretty decadent!
Once again, it's only found in two places in Disney World that we know of (the other being the Lunching Pad at the Magic Kingdom), so it's quite rare. Definitely worth a try, though — it's a fan favorite!
Mickey Pretzels
A brand new addition to Disney World (though Disneyland has had them forever), the Mickey-shaped soft pretzels are just plain better than regular soft pretzels in my opinion ;-).
Get them with some plastic cheese and you'll be in heaven. Or at least I'll be in heaven on your behalf. 😉
Root Beer Float
Back to beverages, the soft ice cream root beer float is definitely a fan favorite! Don't forget to pick up two straws so that you can share!! And remember, in the hot Florida sun, this will melt quickly…
Turkey Legs
Disney's famous giant turkey legs can also be found here. These aren't all that rare around Disney parks, but they sure are fan favorites!
Some folks say there's nothing quite like Disney popcorn, and I agree! Whether it's because you're in the happiest place on Earth, or because they put a little something extra in those kernels (*cough* copious amounts of butter *cough*), it's delicious — and a perfect park-touring snack. Don't be like me and wait too long to have your first box of Disney popcorn. Snag some at the Fife and Drum. 😉
As you can see, this isn't just another one of those standard Disney kiosks that carry the same ol' same ol' snacks. This spot offers quite a few rare, not-to-be-missed options! Once again, another hidden gem of a kiosk that I'd passed by one too many times!
The next time you're in Epcot, head over to the Fife and Drum and try one of these yummy treats that you've never had before. Then leave us a comment and let us know what you thought! 🙂

The ship tossed around the open sea, as the pirate crew spun franticly.
"OH LORD, WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO UPSET THEE!?" They cried in utter misery. But alas it was to late, the followers had met their fate.
Although all stressed, they would confess that they knew this mess, was their own fault. If they wished to be caressed, by his noodlieness, then why did they do less than expected?
They always dressed in pirate attire and blessed their meatballs before they chewed.
But the pirate's mistakes were in their fates as soon as they entered the temple.
In the town of Noodliopia, the holiest utopia, where only Pastafarians roamed, was a lovely old man, his hair neatly combed, who was the meatball messiah.
In all of their greed the pirates agreed, that Noodliopia had much potential.
They schemed and gleamed as they cleaned their swords, ready to raid the temple.
Although in a rush, they came in a hush, not wanting to wake Captain Jones Eliah (the meatball messiah).
Soon they had reached, the place they would breach and started to enter the temple.
But then out of nowhere, they heard a loud screech as if there was water boiling over.
They looked up to the sky as hot water rained down and the town was covered with meatballs.
The people ran out and Eliah did shout "Alas you ass, you have woken the lord!"
The Flying Spaghetti monster came down in a whirl and banished all of the pirates.
He sent them out far on a horrible quest to find the biggest octopus (It was never found).
Then Captain Eliah, the meatball messiah pleaded to thee "You have touched me with your noodly appendage, let you do so to our dwelling. We need some protection and thou art our leader, so please save us now."
The Lord was wise and did rise to muster his strength, and with all his great power, he lifted the tower, that was engraved with scriptures.
He lifted the temple and the homes of the followers and moved them to a safe place.
Now Captain Eliah, the meatball messiah, and all of his most loyal companions, live somewhere safe, to carry the faith, of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

July 27, 2011
Federal Court in Illinois Orders Jay C. Nolan and His Company, Lodge Capital Group, LLC, to Pay $825,000 Civil Monetary Penalty for Multi-Million Commodity Pool Fraud Scheme
Nolan sentenced to 60 months imprisonment in a criminal proceeding for the same fraudulent scheme.
Washington, DC – The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today announced that Judge Charles R. Norgle of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a consent order requiring defendants Jay C. Nolan of Wilmette, Ill., and his company, Lodge Capital Group, LLC (Lodge Capital), jointly and severally to pay an $825,000 civil monetary penalty for commodity pool fraud (see CFTC Press Releases 5778-10 and 5785-10). The order also imposes permanent trading and registration bans against Nolan and Lodge Capital, among other sanctions.
Specifically, the court's order finds that, from at least January 2005 through November 2009, Nolan solicited at least $3.9 million from approximately 10 customers to trade commodity futures contracts in Nolan's Lodge Diversified Fund, LP, commodity pool. Nolan formed Lodge Capital to operate the commodity pool and to receive pool participants' funds. According to the order, of the approximately $3.9 million of pool participants' funds defendants deposited into various commodity trading accounts, defendants traded and lost approximately $2.3 million and misappropriated at least $550,000 of pool participants' funds. The defendants paid themselves incentive fees based on purported profits of the pool, and Nolan spent misappropriated funds to maintain an affluent lifestyle, paying for country club dues and fees, sporting event tickets, and personal credit card bills, according to the order.
The consent order finds that Nolan falsely represented to pool participants that their funds would be invested in Treasury bills (purportedly to be held in a bank in Winnetka, Ill.) that would serve as collateral for the pool's commodity trading. Nolan also misrepresented to pool participants that the pool was making a monthly profit of 1 percent to 2 percent when, in fact, the pool incurred significant losses, according to the order. Moreover, Nolan and Lodge Capital sent participants account statements that falsely reported the value of the U.S. Treasury bills, the pool's purported brokerage account, bank balances, total pool assets, total pool liabilities, and net pool assets, according to the order.
In a related criminal proceeding, Judge Milton I. Shadur of the U.S. District Court for Northern District of Illinois sentenced Nolan on March 11, 2011, to 60 months of imprisonment and ordered him to pay $3.3 million in restitution.
The CFTC appreciates the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois.
CFTC Division of Enforcement staff members responsible for this case are Diane M. Romaniuk, Ava M. Gould, Mary Beth Spear, Scott R. Williamson, Rosemary Hollinger, and Richard B. Wagner.

Pinhole Viewer: Trying Again for the Transit
The Venus Transit offers a wonderful opportunity for family summer science and an easy DIY science activity—making a pinhole viewer. From parallax to exoplanets, tomorrow's transit raises plenty of talking points for students and their families, but a safe viewing strategy is a must.
This afternoon, our family science activity will involve cardboard and aluminum foil as we make a pinhole viewer in hopes of catching tomorrow's Venus Transit. Given the sad-but-true tale of our pinhole tube projector attempt last month for the eclipse, we will be making and trying a shoebox pinhole viewer this time—and hoping for much better results. Having briefly viewed the eclipse through a shoebox viewer another group brought to the top of the hill where we were struggling to catch an image through our makeshift tube projector, we have a good sense of how small our viewing of the Venus Transit will be—and with a transit, unlike an eclipse, Venus will appear only as a small dot as it crosses the surface of the Sun. Still, we're hoping for clear skies and a clear view.
Pinhole Planning
In preparation for the coming transit, I spent time talking with Terik Daly, Staff Scientist at Science Buddies and a doctoral student studying planetary science at Brown University. In part, I wanted to know how off-base we had been with our viewer attempt last month.
After reading through my account of our viewer, Daly confirms, much to my relief, that in theory what we tried should have worked. Something went wrong, but the concept was sound—and we were able to cast the Sun during the afternoon, just not later during the actual eclipse. (I still think the heavy winds at the top of the hill didn't help us—or our taped-together cardboard tubes, which seemed even more flimsy when held up into the wind.) Daly did note that aluminum foil, because it is opaque and highly reflective, might have increased our chances of success.
What's the Big Deal?
The Venus Transit is a 243-year cycle, arriving in pairs, eight years apart, separated by first 121.5 years and then by 105.5 years. The last Venus Transit was on June 8, 2004, making tomorrow's transit the second in this transit cycle. The next Venus Transit won't be until 2117. Those numbers alone are important, but as noted in recent Scientific American coverage of the coming transit, this year's transit will be one of a small handful of transits that have been recorded: "Only six transits have been observed in history: in 1639; 1761 and 1769; 1874 and 1882; and 2004."
Beyond the fact that you may only get one or two chances to see a Venus Transit in your lifetime, the coming transit is a big deal for astronomers. Historically, transits helped astronomers gauge the size of our solar system. "Until the 20th century it was the only way to determine the distance from Earth to the Sun," reports Jay Pasachoff. As Summer Ash explains in a post on Scientific American's Budding Scientist blog, astronomers used the principles of parallax to determine the distance of the Sun from the earth. Using measurements from two viewers at different locations, the distance from the sun can be triangulated. With that measurement in hand, the "distances to all the other planets known at the time could be derived." Based on calculations made during the Venus Transit of 1882, Ash notes, astronomers concluded that the Sun is 93 million miles away.
A Model for Exoplanet Research
According to Daly, transits continue to offer astronomers useful information, particularly because transits can reveal exoplanets. "Transiting is one of the major ways that astronomers detect extrasolar planets," says Daly. "NASA's Kepler mission, for example, has identified over 2300 exoplanet candidates (with 61 confirmed exoplanets) using transit techniques."
The Venus Transit, he explains, offers the general viewer a better understanding of how transits work, which in turn helps explain how astronomers are able to use transits to detect exoplanets near other stars. Those watching the Venus Transit will see a decrease in light from the Sun as Venus crosses in front of it. In the same way, astronomers observe and track the light from other stars. "Decreases in the amount of light detected from a star indicate that something is blocking that light, and if those decreases are periodic, it suggests the object doing the blocking is orbiting the star—a planet," says Daly. "Of course, detecting extrasolar planets is more complicated than that," he adds. But "this transit is a fantastic opportunity to conceptually understand 'transit timing,' an important method of exoplanet detection, the method used by NASA's Kepler spacecraft."
Venus Transit as a Benchmark
In addition to helping demystify the search for—and discovery of—exoplanets, Daly notes that the transit offers additional information about Venus, including more data regarding the composition of Venus' atmosphere. "While we have other ways to study Venus' atmosphere, transits are one of the very few sources of information about the composition of exoplanet atmospheres," explains Daly. "The Venus Transit is a chance for scientists to test their methods for using the light from exoplanet transits to understand the atmosphere of the transiting planet." In other words, studying Venus' atmosphere via the Venus Transit—and comparing that information to other known data—helps astronomers corroborate the approach of drawing conclusions about an exoplanet's atmosphere based on its transit.
Making Connections
Students and families who will be observing the Venus Transit can learn more about how the transit helped astronomers understand our solar system by learning more about how parallax works. The "A Puzzling Parallax" project is an introductory project that can help families better understand the relationship between distance and viewing perspective. For an immediate example, close one eye and hold a pencil out in front of you, lining it up with an option in the distance (a light switch, a tree, etc.). Now switch eyes. This distant object is no longer lined up with the pencil; it will appear to have shifted . This shift based on the difference in viewing perspective is central to parallax. Using hula hoops and a ruler, you and your family can explore further! For a more advanced study of parallax, see "Similar Triangles: Using Parallax to Measure Distance." (The project is more difficult, but the introductory material may be perfect for better understanding the concept of parallax and talking about it with your students.)
In addition to studying parallax, building a pinhole viewer gives you and your family a chance to build a simple scientific apparatus. The following Projects Ideas and resources can springboard some fun exploration of pinhole cameras:

Few objects that magicians conjure with stir the imagination the way proper currency does. Money never goes out of style. Imagine being able to increase a dollar's value a hundred-fold. In the 1970s, a handful of American magicians encountered an Eastern European circus performer named Vlado, who stunned them all by doing just that! Vlado never published his revolutionary bill change, but variations quickly spread throughout the world of magic. Today it is a close-up standard, known as the $100 Bill Switch.
For three decades, magicians have been exploring new and different applications of this versatile technique. Changing $1 into $100 is only one of countless possibilities. The switch can be combined with items like the mis-made bill, used for transpositions, torn and restored routines, bill to impossible location effects, and much, much more. SWITCH collects the best work on this subject from magicians around the world. In addition to a thorough description of the original handling, more than twenty variations are meticulously taught using hundreds of crystal-clear line drawings. Some variations use a thumbtip and others don't, some use fewer folds, and one uses no folds at all! There are instantaneous and visual transformations, multiple switches, a one-handed change, palm-up handlings, and more.
In addition, SWITCH contains over 60 complete routines as well as sleights, subtleties, utility moves (such as bill productions and vanishes), a definitive history of the bill switch, performance theory, presentation ideas, and several routines that don't even involve money. Plus, for the very first time, Vlado, the inventor of the $100 Bill Switch, emerges from the shadows to tell his own story in a revealing interview.
SWITCH is not just a book of close-up magic - a majority of these items can be performed in a cabaret or stage setting. With contributions from more than 70 magicians in 11 countries, this is probably the largest single volume in magic literature devoted to one principle. Thirty years after its remarkable arrival, SWITCH brings the bill change up to date and into the future!

PLANS to turn a vacant retail unit into a Kingdom Hall for Jehovah's Witnesses have been approved. Eden District Council has given the go-ahead for The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of Britain's proposal for the half-acre site, on the A66, Coupland Beck, in Appleby. According to the design and access statement: "The proposal is located adjacent a residential property. "The area is open rural farmland with just a handful of houses. "These comprise generally of two storey stone homes, render and rough cast walls under, generally, a slate roof." It also stated: "The local congregation was established in the mid 1950's and has steadily grown since then to approximately 75. "At present they meet in the township of Bongate where their present hall has undergone several alterations to cater for the growing numbers.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/jehovahs-witnesses-refused-reveal-details-18007120 Paedophile ELDER. Article dated : 12 April 2020 Clifford Whiteley, 73, jailed for offences but court told church had refused to reveal details of what he told them A Jehovah's Witnesses group refused to help police after a paedophile elder had confessed to them, a court heard. Clifford Whiteley, 73, had admitted the child abuse to a West Midlands branch of the church after carrying out the attack more than ten years ago. But a court heard the group allegedly refused to reveal details of that confession to police - citing data protection reasons. After being arrested by police Whiteley initially denied his crimes, before saying: "My life is over now. Jehovah's Witnesses cannot lie. God will judge me." Whiteley, of Ball Fields, Great Bridge, Tipton, was jailed for nine years at Birmingham Crown Court. The Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts, better known as Birmingham Crown Court He had previously pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child and three other serious sexual offences. Passing sentence, Judge Paul Farrer QC told him: "You used your religion to convince your victim she was complicit in your wrongdoing and, in that way, sought to silence her and, sadly, you succeeded for many years." The court heard the victim had been brought up in the Jehovah's Witnesses while the defendant was an elder in a congregation in the West Midlands. Kathryn Orchard, prosecuting, said the victim had tried to "blot out" the offences. But after she revealed what had happened to her there was a meeting with church figures where Whiteley denied the allegations. Miss Orchard said the Jehovah's Witnesses also launched its own investigation and the defendant had confessed. But it was claimed when police later quizzed about the details of what Whiteley said, the group refused to reveal them. Miss Orchard said the defendant had also not answered police questions. The judge said the victim suffered severe psychological harm and that it was enduring. Sharon Bailey, defending, said Whiteley had a number of health issues which would become more acute in time. She said he had not been responsible for the Jehovah's Witnesses refusing to disclose his confession - a decision allegedly taken for data protection reasons. So it continues. No cooperation with the police. Using Clergy-Penitent Privilege / 'Data Protection' as an excuse. It isn't going to change until Yahweh, through Yeshua / Jesus, judges the CCJW and it's Leaders.

JW Survey has obtained documents affirming that the Jehovah's Witness headquarters in the United Kingdom has orchestrated a systematic takeover bid of all Kingdom Hall properties located in England, Scotland and Wales. In a letter dated November 8th, 2019, the London-based Kingdom Hall Trust announced that all UK congregations will dissolve their status as individual charities and become branches of the KHT. The Kingdom Hall Trust (KHT) is a Jehovah's Witness legal corporation established in 1939 as the London Company of Kingdom Witnesses. On June 30, 1978, it was officially registered as a charity in the UK. In 1994, the name was changed to the Kingdom Hall Trust. While the KHT was already engaged in the acquisition of property used by Jehovah's Witness church members, the latest directive "proposes" that all UK Branch Congregations relinquish their individual charity status and operate under the blanket control of the Kingdom Hall Trust charity. Five documents were leaked, including a private letter to all elders, a separate letter to be read to congregations, and an FAQ document explaining the dissolution of congregation charities. Also included are the pre-formatted meeting minutes and congregation resolutions to be filled out, resolved, and returned to the KHT. According to the letter presented to individual congregations, the UK Charity Commission approved the merging of all UK congregations into the Kingdom Hall Trust, with the premise that all congregations in the United Kingdom agree to these changes. The language used cleverly suggests that the merger is optional: "Your charity is now being invited to take part in this process and merge with The Kingdom Hall Trust. Next week a resolution will be put to all baptized members of your congregation so that you can decide whether or not to go along with this proposal." [bold ours] It may be of interest to the Charity Commission that congregational compliance to central directives is not optional. All resolutions placed before congregation members from the Jehovah's Witness governing entities are passed without contest. Financial Implications While the Kingdom Hall Trust directors state that these changes are for purposes of simplification, the leaked documents suggest that permanent control of property and finances may be the true motivation. The November 2019 letter to congregation members says: "However, because elders would no longer serve as trustees, your local donations would be administered by KHT as part of its general funds. This could mean that the Trustees decide to use your donations to support the Kingdom work elsewhere in our branch territory and throughout the world to meet the needs of our brothers and sisters. This is in harmony with the equalizing explained at 2 Corinthians 8:14 "… that by means of an equalizing, your surplus at the present time might offset their need, so that their surplus might also offset your deficiency, that there may be an equalizing"." [bold ours] While Witnesses have always been able to donate funds to the "Worldwide" work, the latest directive appears to give the Kingdom Hall Trust the ability to extract funds normally marked for local use only, and allocate them for use by Jehovah's Witness leadership anywhere in the world.

Leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses have been told to pay £62,000 in damages to a former member who was raped after door-to-door visits. The woman was attacked 30 years ago by Mark Sewell after evangelising for the religious group near Cardiff. A "judicial committee" of the group's elders found the allegations against Sewell "not proven" in an internal inquiry in 1991. But High Court judge Mr Justice Chamberlain ruled in the her favour.

I was having a discussion on here somewhere with someone, concerning the IICSA investigation into JW Org in the UK. I've just received this email from them so thought I'd put it up on here for people to look at. It doesn't copy and paste exactly as it looks on my email, but here it is anyway :- Our reference: IICSA-0013979 Dear Mr Butler Thank you for contacting the Inquiry on 3 February. As you may be aware, the Inquiry is investigating institutional failure to protect children from sexual abuse in the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches. In June 2015 it issued a retention order covering documents of interest to the Inquiry to the leaders of 18 prominent religious organisations, including the Jehovah's Witnesses. The Inquiry has received correspondence from a considerable number of individuals raising concerns about child sexual abuse within Jehovah's Witnesses organisations. At present the Inquiry is committed to delivering its existing programme and is not currently launching any new investigations. However, as our work progresses, we will consider calls for a Jehovah's Witnesses specific investigation carefully. Any updates on our investigations, including scope and hearings can be found on our website at www.iicsa.org.uk/investigations Investigations The Inquiry has launched 13 investigations into a broad range of institutions identified on the basis of the Panel's criteria for selection of investigations. The investigations will give a voice to victims and survivors of child sexual abuse, enable the Inquiry to understand how institutions have failed to protect children from sexual abuse and make practical recommendations to ensure better institutional protection for children in the future. www.iicsa.org.uk I am sorry for the delay in responding to you and I hope that you have found this information useful. If you have any questions regarding the contents of this email, please do not hesitate to contact the Inquiry again. Yours sincerely Jodie Yarborough Head of Correspondence & Engagement Team Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
A grieving mother broke down in tears after she found a Jehovah's Witnesses pamphlet asking 'Can the dead really live again?' left at her son's grave. The woman and her daughter were visiting the 20-year-old's grave at Penrith Cemetery in western Sydney during the first Mother's Day since his suicide when they found the pamphlet. 'Can the dead really live again?' the pamphlet read on the front cover, with the options 'yes', 'no' and 'maybe'. The man's sister said her mother was already struggling to cope with her son's absence on Mother's Day before they found the flyer. 'My mum had been trying to hold it together all morning. It was always going to be a hard visit (to the cemetery) that day, but the flyer was a bit of salt in the wound,' the man's sister, who wished to remain anonymous, said. 'It's harder to console your mother in tears on Mother's Day who just misses her son than it is to pick up a piece of paper and throw it in the bin.' The woman said there were flyers left at every grave in her brother's section of the cemetery. 'Overall the whole situation was inappropriate... being that it was Mother's Day... there's no scenario you could have in this situation that makes it any ''better'' it's just horrible from all directions,' she said. 'That and also the choice of words. Leaving a flyer is a bad move regardless, but posing a question to friends and family members of ''Can the dead live again?'' is just so morbid. 'But even then, if they left a flyer saying ''We're sorry for your loss'' would it make the situation any better? It's still preying on emotionally vulnerable people.' The woman said she called the Jehovah's Witness head office in Sydney, where someone acknowledged leaving flyers at the cemetery was inappropriate. 'But I wasn't given an apology... they referred to it as ''passing on the enquiry'',' she said. 'What annoys me is that no one seemed to notice these people coming in - with a bag full of rocks to place the flyers under - and leaving all these flyers around. 'Plots in that cemetery are going for up to $4000 plus, you expect some kind of security in this place. 'One of the graves I removed a flyer from had the flyer underneath a little dog statue that was sitting beside the tombstone. 'All I thought was, imagine if that little dog was a family heirloom that meant something to the decease and was damaged because it was being carelessly handled by a church that wanted to get their sales numbers up? You'd be pretty livid.' A Jehovah's Witnesses spokesman said the choice to leave the flyers at the cemetery was 'an individual matter' and would have been carried out by someone from 'one of the local churches there'. 'Some write letters, some do it over the phone,' he said. 'It's probably just an individual doing the work... It's an individual, personal choice when it comes to preaching.' The spokesman said he could 'understand' resistance to their message, as they sometimes receive the same feedback when they go door-knocking to preach. A Penrith City Council spokesman said the flyers were an 'isolated incident'. 'Council was advised on Monday afternoon of leaflets that were left in the cemetery and a sweep was conducted to remove the material,' he said. Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Penrith Central Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses church for comment. A Jehovah's Witnesses spokesman said the choice to leave the flyers at the cemetery was 'an individual matter' and would have been carried out by someone from 'one of the local churches' in Penrith https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7025371/Grieving-mother-lost-20-year-old-son-suicide-finds-Jehovahs-Witness-pamphlet-grave.html?fbclid=IwAR10jCf4Tqhfxghfz7UGde07X-hazU4ErQQc5TMEfDt17MNftaVlzsQPiwk
Closing of the Bethel of London and opening of the new Bethel in Chelmsford We are pleased to inform you that a new and exciting exhibition is now open for visitors in our Installations In Mill Hill. This new feature will take you on a journey through the history of witnesses in great Britain and Ireland. It includes material that will strengthen your faith and undoubtedly increase your appreciation for being part of the wonderful organization of Jehovah. - Ps. 144: 15. News: the new facilities at Chelmsford will not include a printer and will discontinue the printing at Mill Hill at the end of March 2018. So if you want to see the printing presses we invite you to visit as soon as possible. ___________________________________ The Accelerated speed of new news in our organization makes us look forward to all kinds of communiqués as you can see, there will be no printing of publications in London. When they announced the new branch, they said it was necessary because the production of magazines is expanding and Britain is the key Bethel for the production of magazines. That was just a couple of years ago they said that. Literature comes from Germany now. It's the center of Europe. Sent to London (soon Chelmsford) and distributed from there. The single page brochures will be used much more now.Â

Western Mail (Wales, UK), Tuesday, November 6, 2018 - FRONT PAGE An elder member of a Jehovah's Witness congregation subjected a girl to years of sexual abuse, a court has heard. Thomas Brian Jenkins, 74, appeared at Merthyr Crown Court on Monday charged with 20 counts of indecent assault against a girl in the 1970s. The alleged abuse began when the girl was 12 years old and continued until she was 14. Jenkins, of Landor Road, Redditch, Worcestershire, denies indecently assaulting the girl by touching her genitals on "dozens of occasions". Opening the case for the prosecution, Timothy Evans said the abuse began shortly after the girl moved to a village in Powys with her family, who were Jehovah's Witnesses, and became involved with the local congregation. Mr Evans said Jenkins, an elder member of the congregation, would take the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, and her older brother out in a car to knock on people's doors.

Navy hero: I did not kill my wife with weedkiller
Guest posted a topic in Jehovah's Witnesses's TopicsA Special Forces veteran, publicly branded a poisoner, has broken his silence to tell the Sunday Mercury: "I did not kill my wife with weedkiller." And Lieutenant Commander Robert McIntyre, who served the Royal Navy with distinction from 1963 to 1971, says the bombshell allegation will be the death of him. "This is going to see me off," said the 72-year-old at his cluttered bungalow in Bloxwich, near Walsall, the oxygen machine wife Valerie used still prominently placed in the living room. "That's it for me, that's me finished." Robert, raised on the Isle of Skye, spoke out after an inquest heard 88-year-old Valerie told family from her hospital deathbed: "That bastard has killed me." She claimed that Robert, who became a long distance lorry driver after his military stint, had poisoned her with weedkiller, the hearing was told. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/navy-hero-not-kill-wife-15277332Valerie, a devout Jehovah's Witness, died at Walsall Manor Hospital in September 2017. Her service at Bushbury Crematorium did not take place until September 11 this year.
An obsessive and controlling husband had faked a message from the police complaints body telling his wife to go to Rhyl police station to identify his body. Mark Perry, aged 46, had also turned up at a refuge with a neighbour's child claiming to be a family member and seeking the whereabouts of his wife. The story was told at Llandudno court where Perry, a Jehovah's Witness, of Sandringham Avenue, Rhyl, pleaded guilty to stalking. When he was sent for sentence at Mold crown court next month and refused bail he protested, near to tears: "I love my wife. I don't want to cause her any stress at all." The charge accuses him of between the end of July and beginning of August stalking Ysabel Andrea Perry and causing her serious harm or distress by sending texts and WhatsApp messages and trying to seek her whereabouts. The court heard that in one message Perry told his wife : "Sorry for the suffering I've caused you over the years. I'm unravelling it with Jehovah's help." Prosecuting, Diane Williams said his wife had endured threats and control and a domestic violence protection order had been granted. She'd had "disturbing" messages and texts. Graham Parry, defending, said the couple were Jehovah's Witnesses and they had been in discussion with elders which he preferred to the justice system to deal with their difficulties. Mr Parry said : "From the Jehovah's Witness point of view there's only one way a couple can separate - it's adultery, and neither has committed adultery. "His wife has now gone to another part of the country in a refuge that's safe. "He does threaten to take his own life. He does seem fairly desperate to try and get what he thought who was his wife back." Added Mr Parry :"He doesn't fit the mode of most defendants.

Navy hero: I did not kill my wife with weedkiller
Guest posted a topic in Jehovah's Witnesses's TopicsSpeaking at the hearing, Valerie's family described her as a "happy little old lady". Daughter Alexandra Harpin, 58, said: "She liked to talk to people, and she was a very active Jehovah's Witness until the last five to six years prior to her death. "She was just a normal mother, but at times she was a frightened person. "She feared certain things but never disclosed what it was. "There was nothing wrong with her mental state at all. Every time I saw her she was fine." Robert McIntyre was not present at the inquest. Since then he has been the subject of Chinese whispers on the estate that has been home for 22 years. He told the Sunday Mercury: "I have been put through a lot of hell. What has been done to me is horrendous, but I've already forgiven them." Now he says that bereavement, groundless accusations and the long wait to clear his name have finally taken their toll. He is leaving. "I'm moving," he said. "I've just had enough of the harassment." https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/navy-hero-not-kill-wife-15277332
If you've been in Newcastle city centre recently, you will have noticed them. Happily handing out copies of The Watchtower from carts, Jehovah's Witnesses are taking to Newcastle's streets in their droves. And the reason for the recent increase is simply due to a change in tactics. For years, members have gone door-to-door to spread the word about the faith. But now members are heading into the city to try and reach out to more people. "We feel the use of carts allows us to reach people we perhaps wouldn't meet at home due to their work schedules or other factors," said spokesperson Andrew Schofield. "The carts also provide the public with the choice of approaching us or not, which some people appreciate.

Guest posted a topic in Jehovah's Witnesses's TopicsIndependent investigators in the United Kingdom are weighing whether to launch a new investigation into the Jehovah's Witnesses in the U.K. after receiving a "considerable number" of abuse allegations. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, or IICSA, a government-sanctioned investigative panel in England and Wales, told The Guardian that it had gotten a "considerable number" of reports from both the public and elected officials about the Jehovah's Witnesses in the U.K. A spokesperson told the newspaper the panel would "consider calls for a Jehovah's Witnesses–specific investigation carefully." It was unclear how many reports the watchdog group had received. When contacted by Newsweek, Jehovah's Witnesses' public information office did not immediately comment. Kathleen Hallisey, a lawyer who brought charges against the Jehovah's Witnesses for sexual abuse in 2015, said she suspected there are thousands of such cases in the U.K., The Guardian reported. "The Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to recognize the issue of child abuse in their organization or to create robust safeguarding procedures to protect children," she said. "An investigation by IICSA into the Jehovah's Witnesses is an opportunity for the inquiry to effect real change in an organization that refuses to shine a light on child abuse and protect children." News of the possible investigation comes weeks after the nonprofit religious transparency organization Faithleaks leaked 33 letters and internal documents revealing a pattern of sexual abuse by one Jehovah's Witness member, and the lengths the church went to cover up the scandal. Those documents detail communications among church leaders and several legal entities—collectively known as Watchtower—between 1999 and 2012. In one letterto Watchtower dated November 14, 1999, the Palmer Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses from Brimfield, Massachusetts, said it had reviewed claims by two women who alleged their father sexually abused them as children. The group found those claims to be true. "Our impression upon speaking with both girls was similar. That they are both quite rational. It certainly appears that these were real events," the letter said. In that case, church leaders pressured one of the accusers not to report the abuse to police. Years later, the church held an in-house trial and briefly excommunicated the father. That victim was not the only person pressured to remain silent. In the U.K., several alleged victims had come forward with similar claims in November 2017, according to The Telegraph. "Frankly, I would equate this to a scandal and a cover-up akin to the Catholic Church," Hallisey told The Telegraph at the time. http://www.newsweek.com/jehovahs-witnesses-child-sexual-abuse-investigators-allegations-united-kingdom-837351

Hi Dessert Lovers!
This issue is all about lemons, one of the most versatile and economical fruits around. Hope you've had a chance to stop by our forum. We have a dessert name game going on that has prompted some interesting responses. Also, in the poll on the most popular chocolate, milk or dark, dark chocolate seems to be the overwhelming favorite with 67% vs. 33% for milk chocolate. Don't dismay milk chocolate lovers, it's all good and it's all chocolate. Enjoy the articles and recipes. Don't forget to let me know if there is a particular topic you'd like to see covered.
Life is Short, Have Dessert
o Lemon Lore
In today's vernacular the word lemon has some bad connotations. If you buy a defective product, or pet (yikes!) you're said to have a lemon. There is even a lemon law to help you recoup your financial loss. Going through some bad times? Well meaning friends are apt to say "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade". The lemon took the scenic route from the Mediterranean region to China before landing in Florida and California. Most every part of the lemon can be used and its uses go way beyond cooking and baking. From medicinal applications to house cleaning the lemon is one of the most versatile fruits. Lemons grew in popularity during the Gold Rush Era. Miners routinely ate a diet that was lacking in Vitamin C. During this period scurvy was almost at epidemic proportions. When it was revealed that lemon juice contained high amounts of Vitamin C the demand increased and lemon trees were planted en masse.
Anyway You Slice It
Cut a thin slice from each end. Score fruit lengthwise and then remove peel. A knife tends to make it come off cleaner, but it's easiest with your fingers. Remove all the pith, (the white part). This step is best done with a knife, just scrape it away. Your next step is to cut the lemon in half lengthwise. Then with shallow V- cuts, remove white center cores, and seeds; and cut lemon in small chunks.
What You Get For the Money
6-8 lemons = 1 cup of juice
6-8 lemons = 35% of Vitamin C needed for one day
Juice of 1 lemon = 90% USDA for women
1 lemon = 18 calories and 5 g of sodium
More Lemon FYI
Arizona and California supply 95% of the country's crop. Libson and Eureka are two of the major varieties but Meyer's are one the most popular. Meyer lemons are named after Frank Meyer who discovered it in China in the early 1900's. The Meyer lemon is actually a cross between a lemon and a type of orange. It is less acid, sweeter, and has a thinner skin. Its thin skin keeps it from being shipped so it's generally not grown commercially. When shopping for lemons keep in mind that larger, thick skinned ones have less juice. Choose fruit that is bright yellow, glossy and firm. The juiciest ones are going to be heavy with fine grained skin. Lemons will keep 2 weeks at room temperature and almost 6 weeks in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Let your lemons sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to get the most juice. Can't wait that long? Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
o REVIEW: Krusteaz®Lemon Bars Supreme Mix
Homemade. Made Easy. That's the slogan for Krusteaz® baking mixes. From pancake mixes to fat free fudge brownies the Krusteaz® brand is holding its own in the baking isle. The company started out in 1932 with only a pie crust and an idea to make home baking easy and quick. In keeping with our lemon theme, I tried the Lemon Bars Supreme Mix.
Prep and Baking
The package contained two pouches, one for the filling and one for the crust. Additional ingredients needed were 1/3 cup of water and 3 eggs. A quick stir of the water and eggs followed by blending in the filling mix, took less than two minutes. The filling had a pronounced lemon aroma, not bad or artificial smelling. After spraying my baking dish with a butter flavored non-stick spray, I simply patted the crust mix into the bottom. I was surprised that there was nothing more to add. The directions indicated that the crust would be pale after baking; it also felt underdone to the touch. As tempted as I was to pop it back in the oven, I followed the instructions and only baked it for eight minutes. The next step was to pour the filling on top of the crust and bake in a 350° oven for 22-26 minutes, or until the center didn't jiggle. It took 30 minutes.
The Taste Test
The bars were quite tasty with an equal amount of tart and sweet flavors. The crust was like a chewy sugar cookie and just a little bit sticky. Dusting the top with powdered sugar was optional and I'm glad I opted out. That would have made them too sweet. For the price of the mix and the time involved it was a pretty good deal. You should try them.
o Lemon Recipes
The tie that binds this recipe collection is of course lemons, and there may be other similarities. When talking about sweet lemon treats, you have to include the classic, Lemon Meringue Pie. Personally, making pie dough from scratch has been relegated to the same category as cooking regular rice the long way. I've stopped berating myself for not mastering those two culinary techniques. With the convenience of pre-made pie shells and almost ready dough mix, the process has been made easier. Better still, and much to my delight the fairy godmother of pie dough has seen fit to grace me with her presence. After 30 years, the mister decided to bake pies. My husband makes the flakiest and most tender piecrust I have ever had. Let me tell you my domestic inner goddess was not offended. Always willing to share, he reveals his Lemon Meringue Pie recipe and his five no fail steps to the best piecrust ever.
Frank's Lemon Meringue Pie
1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup cornstarch
¼ tsp salt
4 egg yolks
1 ¾ cup water
2/3 cup lemon juice
3 TBS butter
1 tsp grated lemon rind (optional)
1-2 drops of yellow food coloring (optional)
Baked 9-inch pie crust
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. In a separate mixing bowl blend egg yolks, water and lemon juice (If you have fresh squeezed ok, but it will still turn out well with bottled juice). Blend ingredients with a wire whisk 1-2 minutes till foamy, then stir into the sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, and don't stop stirring whatever you do until the mixture thickens and boils. Remove pan from the heat and stir in butter, lemon rind, and food coloring (if you're using it). Spoon into prepared pie shell and then make your meringue. Spread the meringue over the still hot lemon filling, taking time to spread to the edges to seal. Bake at 325° for 25- 30 minutes. Let pie cool before slicing and store leftovers (if there are any) in the refrigerator.
Pie Crust
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1/3 cup plus 1 TBS shortening
3-4 TBS ice water
Be sure and read Frank's tips below for the perfect pie crust.
Mix the flour and salt then cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle ice water a tablespoon at a time over mixture. Mix with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened, too much water and your dough will be tough. Shape dough in a ball, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. When ready to use, roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Take the extra time to keep dough in a circle, but don't play around with it too much. Gently lift the dough and place in the pie plate. Trim any excess edges and prick bottom and sides with a fork. Fill as directed.
Tips for a Perfect Crust
Precise measurements are a must.
Learning to determine the correct amount of water by sight and touch is important also, due to temperature and humidity of kitchen.
Blend dry ingredients with water until you have pea size particles.
Refrigerate dough covered with plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes.
Roll dough out in a circle, starting at center and rolling outward to keep circle shape.
3 egg whites
½ tsp cream tartar
1/3 cup sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
The beaters and bowl should be completely grease free so that you will get the desired volume from your beaten egg whites. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl at medium speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks form (when you lift the beaters the meringue will turn under slightly). Add the sugar, 1 TBS at a time beating at high speed till stiff peaks form and the sugar has dissolved. Stir in vanilla just until blended, too much mixing will break down the meringue. Use as directed for the chosen recipe.
Triple layers, triple flavor. Be prepared to get in some extra exercise after eating this one.
Triple Layer Lemon Dessert
Lemon Filling
1 cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
1 cup water
2 egg yolks, beaten
2 TBS butter
3 TBS lemon juice
1 TBS lemon rind (optional)
1 cup Shortbread crumbs*
3 TBS melted butter
Lemon Mousse
Lemon Filling
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan; add water, and mix well. Don't worry if the sugar and cornstarch doesn't completely dissolve. This usually doesn't happen until they are heated thoroughly. Cook over medium heat ,stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Pay attention to it. The mixture will scorch easily. Boil 1 minute.
Gradually stir about ¼ of the hot mixture into the egg yolks; then add to remaining hot mixture, again stirring constantly. Return to boiling or until temperature on a thermometer reads 165°, keep stirring. Remove from heat and stir in butter and rest of ingredients. Let filling cool completely. While it is cooling make the crust. In an 8 inch square baking dish, combine butter and shortbread crumbs. Mix well and press evenly against the sides of the dish. If you only have a 9 inch dish that will work also. There always seems to be more crumbs than you need. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes and then set aside to cool. The whole purpose of baking the crust is to make it hold together. When cooled to room temperature pour Lemon Filling inside crust and then top with the Lemon Mousse. Garnish with grated lemon zest or lemon curls. Store in refrigerator.
Lemon Mousse
3 egg yolks
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream, whipped and divided
Beat egg yolks in a small bowl at high speed of an electric mixer, till thick and lemon colored ( of course). Slowly add condensed milk and blend thoroughly. Add lemon juice and mix well. Gently fold the whipped cream into lemon mixture. A mousse is supposed to be light so gently folding in the ingredients helps to keep it that way.

HTML::EP::Glimpse - A simple search engine using Glimpse
This is a simple search engine I wrote for the movie pages of a friend,
Anne Haasis.
It is based on HTML::EP, my embedded Perl system and Glimpse, the well
known indexing system, as a backend.
First of all, you have to install the latest version of HTML::EP, 0.20
or later, and it's prerequisites. Next you have to install this package,
HTML::EP::Glimpse. If you don't know how to install Perl packages, it's
fairly simple: Fetch the required archives from any CPAN mirror, for
and then do, for example
gzip -cd HTML-EP-0.20.tar.gz | tar xf -
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install
It's even more simple, if you have the CPAN module available:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install HTML::EP
install HTML::EP::Glimpse
While running perl Makefile.PL in the HTML::EP::Glimpse directory,
you'll be prompted some questions. These are explained in the
CONFIGURATION section below. See the CONFIGURATION manpage.
Your web server must be ready for serving EP pages. See the HTML::EP
docs for details of the web server configuration. the HTML::EP(3)
The module is configured at installation time when running perl
Makefile.PL. However, you can repeat the configuration at any later time
by running perl -MHTML::EP::Glimpse::Install -e Config.
Configuration will create a module *HTML::EP::Glimpse::Config*, which
holds a single hash ref with the following keys:
A TRUE (yes) value means, that the HTML examples will be copied to
your web servers document root. This is recommended, unless you have
an existing installation with own modifications in the HTML files.
Of course you wouln't want to overwrite your own files.
Base directory, where you put your HTML files to. The default is
/home/httpd/html/Glimpse, which is fine on a Red Hat Linux box.
A directory, where the web server is allowed to create files, in
particular your preferences and the Glimpse index. By default the
subdirectory admin/var of the base directory is choosen.
The UID under which your web server is running CGI binaries. The
vardir must have read, execute and write permissions for this user.
The default is *nobody*, which is fine on a Red Hat Linux box again.
Path of the *glimpse* and *glimpseindex* binaries.
The Preferences
All other settings are fixed via the Web browser. Assuming your base
directory is accessible via
point your browser to
and enter the preferences page. The following items must be entered
Web servers root directory
This is your web servers home directory, for example
on a Red Hat Linux box.
Directories being indexed
Usually you just put the value / here, because you want your whole
web server being indexed. However, if you want restrict the index to
some directories, enter them here. For example, if you have a manual
in /manual and want to index the manual directory only, then enter
The directory names are relative to the servers root directory.
Directories being excluded
If you don't want your whole directory tree being indexed, you can
also exclude some directories. For example, there's not much sense
in indexing the Glimpse directory, so I usually enter
Suffixes of files being indexed
Of course you don't want all files being indexed. For example,
there's not much sense in indexing GIF's or JPEG's. By default only
files with the extensions *.htm* and *.html* are indexed. If you
want your EP files being indexed as well, add a *.ep*. Likewise you
might want to add *.php* for PHP3 files or *.txt* for text files.
Running glimpseindex
As soon as you modified your preferences, you should create an index.
This is done by returning to the admin menu and calling the index page.
The same procedure should be repeated each time you modify your HTML
files. If this is happening frequently, you might prefer using a cron
job, for example
su - nobody -c "/usr/bin/glimpseindex -b -H $vardir -X"
with $vardir being the vardir from above. Note that your job shouln't
run as root, unless you want to disable a manual recreation via the web
Configuring for multiple virtual servers or multiple directories
So far configuration is fine, but can you use multiple instances of
HTML::EP::Glimpse on one machine? Of course you can!
It is quite simple: Just copy the base directory to another location.
Then create a subdirectory admin/lib/HTML/EP/Glimpse of the new base
directory. Create a new configuration by running
cd $basedir/admin/lib/HTML/EP/Glimpse
perl -MHTML::EP::Glimpse::Install -e Config Config.pm
That's it!

AN AMERICAN WHO co-authored the book "Fiesta: How to Survive the Bulls of Pamplona" became one of their victims yesterday when he was one of two men gored at the festival.
Bill Hillmann, a 32-year-old from Chicago and a longtime participant in the nine-day Pamplona street party, was gored twice in the right thigh during one of the daily bull runs, organisers said on their website.
The injury was serious but not life-threatening, the Navarra regional government said in a statement.
A 35-year-old Spaniard man from Valencia was also in serious condition after being gored in the chest during the same run on the festival's third day, the statement said. He was not named.
Photographs showed Hillmann — dressed in the San Fermin event's traditional white with a red neckerchief — being gored on the ground by a black bull as other runners scattered.
Tension spiked when the bull became separated from the pack in the final stretch.
British writer Alexander Fiske-Harrison, one of Hillmann's co-authors of the Pamplona book and a fellow runner, said on his blog that the bull turned back and charged at runners.
The six fighting bulls run along a 850-metre course from a holding pen to Pamplona's bull ring in a tense and dramatic few minutes immortalized in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.
San Fermin is one of Spain's most famous fiestas and attracts thousands of foreign tourists every year.
Hillmann's wife Enid was at the hospital with her husband, Fiske-Harrison said.
Three other Spaniards who fell during the run were being treated in Pamplona hospitals for their injuries.
Several thousand people took part in the nationally televised 8am run.
Fifteen people have died from gorings since record-keeping began in 1924. Dozens of people are injured each year in the runs, most of them in falls.
The bulls are invariably killed in afternoon bullfights.
