St. Ignatius Loyola, in his wonderful book, The Spiritual Exercises, proposes the following objective for the meditations on the Incarnation: "This is to ask for what I desire: an intimate knowledge of our Lord who has become man for me, that I may love him more, and follow him more closely." He then encourages the retreatant to reflect and draw some spiritual fruit from the Christmas narratives.
In fact, the season of Christmas is a time of kairos to do just that! So the Scripture text I focus on every Christmas is this one:
"God has predestined us to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that Jesus can be the eldest among many brothers and sisters" (Rom.8:29).
That Jesus is "the eldest among many brothers and sisters" means that he is our next-of-kin, our closest relative, our goel (see Ruth 4:6-10) or "redeemer." You and I are his spiritual siblings, and through our new birth of baptism, are fashioned to resemble him (in our character/spirituality). No wonder that the saints of the Church made strenuous efforts to personalize/interiorize his intimate relationship with the Father, his whole-hearted love for humanity, and his courageous dedication to building the Kingdom of God. With Paul, they too could dare to say, "become imitators of me, as I am of Christ" (Phil.3:17).
We all share in this heritage, through the Communion of Saints. Hence we too, modern Christians, can say to God in prayer at Christmas, "this exactly is what I desire." Our active cooperation with the Spirit (see 2Cor.3:17f) will then bring us three important graces which can manifest more clearly our own resemblance to Jesus: the graces of contemplation, compassion, and courage.
I received something of this gift at my "baptism in the Spirit." Although I had asked many times for it since 1963 in Jesuit retreats, God surprised me with it in 1972, after my time of brokenness and my infilling with the Spirit. And for the last 33 years, this gift has brought me strength and joy in good times and in bad, enabling me to become aware of God always looking upon me with delight "as a son first, a sinner second," not because of my merits or worthiness but because Jesus has made me forever his brother and co-heir. It has enabled me in turn to steadfastly look at God with love, admiration and gratitude.
To sum up, for me, Christmas is an anointed time to desire, to ask, and to receive afresh those graces which will mould me into the image of Christ, my eldest sibling: authentic contemplation, leading to compassion, and to a courageous life of many loving initiatives for the sake of God's Kingdom. Christmas reminds me that Jesus Christ "has become man for me" for this very purpose!

EASTCHESTER, N.Y. -- In celebration of the town's 350th anniversary celebration, the Eastchester Historical Society hosted a Victorian-style tea party at its headquarters, the historic 1835 Marble Schoolhouse on Saturday, June 28.
Party guests enjoyed traditional tea fare -- including a variety of finger sandwiches, cookies, cakes, tea and pink lemonade.
Built from Tuckahoe Marble -- a name that refers geologically to a dolomite mineral vein -- the Greek Revival-style schoolhouse was moved to its current location on California Road in 1869.
In addition to the schoolhouse, Tuckahoe Marble was used to construct many historic monuments and public buildings throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, including Federal Hall in lower Manhattan and the New York Public Library.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2005, the Marble Schoolhouse achieved local landmark status in 1994.

Mostly I blog to keep friends and family in the loop with my life. But recently I have discovered the added perk of making new friends while blogging. New friends who actually live in my city and like to do creative, crafty things like I do. It may be too early to say this, but I think I have found a winner here! Check out what I got in the mail today. How can you not like someone who sends a package filled to the brim with goodies as a get to know me better gesture.
And before you go getting any funny ideas in your heads. She is MY new friend, and you can't have her. And I don't feel like sharing, thank you very much! :) Happy Friday!

What could EPA do to expand and improve our job training programs, such as the Superfund Job Training Initiative and the Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Program?
EPA programs such as the Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Program and the Superfund Job Training Initiative train people for careers in the environmental cleanup field. Through these programs, EPA offers grants and technical assistance to communities affected by contaminated land cleanup so that the money associated with the cleanup stays in the surrounding community. Over the years, thousands of people have graduated from EPA-supported programs, with more than 3,500 finding full-time employment in the environmental field.

In general I believe that the Job training programs need to be aligned with the potential strong markets for jobs. I believe that the connection between Health Care and Brownfields redevelopment should reinforce the fact the Job Training programs should also be allowed to provide training for Health Care Related fields. Recently the Department of labor reported that 10 out of the 20 fastest growing jobs will be in the health care sector. Therefore, we need to be able to provide job training for areas where there is a strong market. I believe that this will allow residents of underserved communities to be able to get hired in professions that may untimely be able to begin addressing health disparities. I believe that EPA should have the flexibility to provide Job training in that areas where there is demand for workers as well.

In Rhode Island, it is proving extremely difficult to place trainees once they complete the Brownfields Remediation Training program. Few employers have responded to outreach efforts, and it is difficult to obtain information about upcoming projects and land purchases, as most are done privately or through unions. I would like to see present and future clean-up grantees and job training grantees work together regularly to create a more solid project-employment infrastructure. This relationship may start as a stipulation in the clean-up RFP which would require the hiring of a certain number of local trainees during the bidding process, and could continue in the form of roundtables for both job training and clean-up grantees to attend together, so that needs may be assessed by both parties, stronger relationships may be established and programs may be fine-tuned to meet more specific and immediate needs.
Kevin Sullivan of CT Department of Environmental Protection permalinkJune 2, 2011
Compared to site-clean-up, I think there may be more job growth in the areas of recycling and reuse. Recycling and reuse can be profitable and itself a driver of employment and economic recovery. Brownfields clean-up I think is more dependant on economic recovery first before it can be a driver of employment.
John Schweizer of John W. Schweizer, P.E. permalinkJune 23, 2011
The lead soil cleanup project in West Oakland, that is being managed by Steve Calanog of the EPA's Region 9 Emergency Response group, is an excellent example of how the EPA can improve training programs. Steve has hired a contractor that is managing the project and is providing field supervision. Workers are being hired from a West Oakland non-profit that provides the 40-hour training.
This approach solves the problem of having workers all trained up with nowhere to go, saves money, and does wonders for community relations. It is an example of an EPA manager paying far more than lip service to EPA policies and goals.
I continue to be impressed by the forward thinking and creative solutions put forward by Steve Calanog, On Scene Coordinator.

John Lee of Green Strategies permalinkJuly 7, 2011
It appears that the previous training has been very focused and area specific. Once the job is done then the work disappears. Training needs to be more broad based so that the training graduates can get other employment within or near their own community with some of the skills they have been trained.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A Vietnamese court sentenced a U.S-trained lawyer and well-known dissident to 30 months in jail Wednesday after finding him guilty on tax evasion charges, the latest salvo in a crackdown against activists in the authoritarian Southeast Asian nation.
The verdict against Le Quoc Quan was immediately criticized by the United States, which is pressing Vietnam's Communist leaders to loosen restrictions on those advocating democracy and human rights. Washington, along with human rights groups and other observers, had considered the charges against Quan to be politically motivated.
Quan, who maintained a popular blog that highlighted human rights abuses and other issues off-limits to the state media, proclaimed his innocence throughout the one-day trial. Hundreds of his supporters braved an intense security crackdown to rally in the normally sleepy city during the trial.
"I have long been denouncing and fighting against corruption, bureaucracy and the stagnation that is doing harm to this country," Quan said. "To be frank, I was prosecuted because I love this country," he said before the audio and video feed into a side-room where a small number of reporters and diplomats were allowed to listen to proceedings was briefly cut off.
Presiding Judge Le Thi Hop said Quan was found guilty of evading corporate income tax of $30,000 in relation to a consultancy he had headed before his arrest last December in Hanoi. He was also fined $60,000. The maximum penalty Quan could have received was seven years.
Trials in Vietnam do not meet international standards for fairness, according to human rights groups. Quan was giving access to lawyers during his detention, but his family had been prevented from meeting him.
The U.S. Embassy in Hanoi said the use of tax laws "to imprison government critics for peacefully expressing their political views is disturbing" and called on the government to "release all prisoners of conscience and allow Vietnamese to peacefully express their political views."
The verdict could complicate efforts by the Obama administration to press ahead with a free trade pact it is currently negotiating with Vietnam and other Asian-Pacific nations. Congress will have to pass any deal, and U.S. officials have said that ongoing human rights abuses in the country will make it a difficult sell.
Quan, in his early 40s, was detained in 2007 for three months on his return from a U.S. government-funded fellowship in Washington. He kept up his activism, meeting with reporters and diplomats, and taking part in peaceful protests against Chinese sovereignty claims over parts of the South China Sea in 2011. He is a Roman Catholic and drew some of his support from the church, which has difficult relations with the Hanoi government because of its social activism.
Vietnam converted to a market economy in the late 1980s and wants to integrate with the world, but maintains strict controls on freedom of speech and political expression. Bloggers, activists and others are routinely arrested and imprisoned. Foreign media representatives are allowed to live in Vietnam but are subject to restrictions on where they can travel and what they can report.
The Internet has emerged as a vital organizing tool for dissidents in recent years, and there has been a surge of blogs and Facebook pages highlighting criticism of the government. The rise of the Internet, combined with an economic slowdown, has left the ruling elite feeling vulnerable.
In an interview with The Associated Press last September, Quan said he was under constant surveillance and that he, his family and staff received frequent warnings and pressure from authorities. But he pledged to keep speaking out against the government and in favor of multi-party democracy and freedom of speech and religion.

When Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy unveiled his fried, boneless breast of chicken sandwich in 1946, he had no idea that 66 years later college students like Taylor Cotter would protest his restaurants inclusion on their campuses.
Last week the Student Senate at Northeastern University in Boston voted to halt discussions with the privately held Atlanta, Ga. based restaurant chain, citing the company's affiliation with Christian organizations they say have an "anti-gay" agenda.
Taylor Cotter, a senior journalism major who has been a member of the school's student senate for three years, led the protest to oust Chick-fil-A, but was "shocked" when the university gave in so quickly to the student's demands.
"I first found out that the school was interested in Chick-fil-A in January of 2011," Cotter told The Christian Post in a phone interview. "Only about 15 of us knew of the schools plan for several months and that's when I grew concerned about a company who supports causes that I feet are divisive."
Cotter stated there were two primary issues that led her to lead the protest.

Xbox LIVE Community Games is well on its way! We're currently showing more than SEVENTY games in the catalog. There are a few things we've learned along the way that I want to call attention to here.
1. Playtesting is IMPORTANT. Please be sure to use this handy dandy service to make sure that your game is as free from bugs as possible, because…
2. Peer Review is not for Playtesting! We're looking into ways of limiting Peer Review, because some people seem to be abusing it.
3. We are a community! This means that we should all be helping each other out by staying active, helping others to Playtest, and helping out with Peer Reviews (even if your own game isn't ready for or has already been through Playtest and Peer Review)
4. We shouldn't use words like Achievements and Leaderboards. We don't technically have them, so it makes it confusing. Some folks have found some uncanny workarounds, but for everyone's happiness please don't call them Achievements and Leaderboards. We like the word "Awards." In fact, MVP Nick "Awardment Unlocked" Gravelyn posted a pretty awesome article on creating award systems for your game. Daniel Hanson even offered a way to create progressive awards and link them to Gamertags. (Thanks to Ziggyware for hosting both of these articles)
5. You are really awesome. No one else has done this before and you're all helping create some really incredible stuff. In fact, we're getting lots of attention for it, too.
Check out this article in Game Informer on what they went through creating their own game using XNA Game Studio 3.0 (with the help of our own Frank "Sophisticate" Savage)
The Independent Games Festival is gearing up and we're proud to say that several of the entries are built with XNA Game Studio! Our beloved Michael "Young MC" Klucher assembled a list of these titles on his blog. Check them out!
Finally, as a special treat just for Premium Members of XNA Creators Club Autodesk has just released a special version of the Softimage Mod Tool Pro enabled for commercial production use for Xbox LIVE Community Games only. You can read all about it and download it at the XNA Creators Club Online now!

When you see an image, a truly great image, it stops you. Something happens in a primal instant where you are drawn to it and you don't know why. Schooling and practice can rewire your consciousness to intellectualize the image and cause you to break down in a logical, archetypal manner–what it is about the image that is compelling. You move beyond the initial emotional response of "yes" or "no" into an interpretation. And while there is value in the form and the technique and the skill that it takes to create a compelling image, the truest and most pure beauty is the in that brief moment of recognizing quality. Quality that is determined by something unknown inside ourselves. Something innate and universally recognizable to us all–beauty.
I strive for beauty. I want to create images that take an audience's breath away. Light, composition, movement and content. The hope is that every frame I create will maximize the potential of these four tenets. Whether it's a dramatically lit wide full of characters in a dazzling location or it's a cut away. The image should be able to be made into a still and tell a story and be stimulating.
Every frame a photo.
That's 23.976 photos per second! Or more! A difficult task but one that a lifelong dedication and to imaging could, maybe, make possible.
That's who I am and that's the cinematographer and storyteller I want to be. That's the cinematographer I will be.

Originally published in the 1901, this little volume is the outcome of several years' experience in telling to classes of children the classic myths, both southern and northern. The insight and interest displayed by the children encourage the authors to hope that other teachers and pupils may enjoy the myths here reproduced.
"The interest shown at present in the teaching of myths to children seems to call for some such simple volume, giving the Norse myths in suitable form for use with pupils as well as for the children's home reading. There are various collections of the Greek tales, but the books dealing with the Norse myths seem to be more or less cumbered with detail, and, therefore, not adapted to very young readers."
"The experience of the authors satisfies them that the teaching of myths should begin with those of the North, and that the Greek tales should be given later, with comparisons and references to the Norse myths. The stories which were dear to our own northern forefathers stir our children more deeply and are more congenial to them than those which come down to us from the Greeks. This is perfectly reasonable. The graphic descriptions in the Norse tales of the hard struggle with rugged nature and the severe climate of the North naturally come home more closely to us than the less rigorous and sturdy conditions of the southern nations. Then, too, the moral tone of the Norse myths is higher, purer, and more steadfast than that of the Greek tales, and is more congenial to our Teutonic point of view."

The Whalers enter the 1994-95 season with new ownership, an infusion of money, a mandate to win now and a renewed hope the franchise can gain stability and respectability.
The nightmare that was the 1993- 94 season is over, an inglorious past no doubt everybody would like to forget.
Everybody, it seems, except Pierre McGuire.
Fired as coach of the Whalers in May after a near insurrection by his players, McGuire apparently couldn't take his $200,000 salary, walk away quietly and let his disastrous reign end without fanfare. Whatever his motivation, McGuire got back at his former employer.

Scott's Shadow is the first comprehensive account of the flowering of Scottish fiction between 1802 and 1832, when post-Enlightenment Edinburgh rivaled London as a center for literary and cultural innovation. Ian Duncan shows how Walter Scott became the central figure in these developments, and how he helped redefine the novel as the principal modern genre for the representation of national historical life. Duncan traces the rise of a cultural nationalist ideology and the ascendancy of Scott's Waverley novels in the years after Waterloo. He argues that the key to Scott's achievement and its unprecedented impact was the actualization of a realist aesthetic of fiction, one that offered a socializing model of the imagination as first theorized by Scottish philosopher and historian David Hume. This aesthetic, Duncan contends, provides a powerful novelistic alternative to the Kantian-Coleridgean account of the imagination that has been taken as normative for British Romanticism since the early twentieth century. Duncan goes on to examine in detail how other Scottish writers inspired by Scott's innovations--James Hogg and John Galt in particular--produced in their own novels and tales rival accounts of regional, national, and imperial history. Scott's Shadow illuminates a major but neglected episode of British Romanticism as well as a pivotal moment in the history and development of the novel.Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2002. .

The state of diabetes: An industry review of diabetes (Sponsored by Abbott Animal Health)
Nov 01, 2010
Every time veterinarians use the knowledge gained from human diabetes management to control the disease in dogs and cats, they honor the canines that played a key role in the medical advancement and understanding of human diabetes. In 1890, Drs. Joseph Von Mering and Oskar Minkowski inadvertently created an animal model of diabetes when they discovered dogs displayed signs of polyuria and polydipsia associated with glucosuria when the pancreas was removed. And in 1921, Dr. Frederick Banting and his Toronto team isolated insulin from the pancreas of dogs. They spent the next year testing the new hormone in diabetic dogs, forever changing the way human diabetes is treated.
The goal of diabetes management for dogs and cats is the same as for people: good glycemic control. And the cornerstones of this management are insulin, diet, monitoring—including home monitoring—and exercise, according to recent American Animal Hospital Association recommendations.
Pet owners are essential to producing accurate glucose measurements and implementing recommended treatment changes, but they cannot be successful unless they know how to establish and follow a routine schedule, properly administer insulin, and measure blood glucose. In addition, owners must know how to recognize what is and isn't normal so they will know when something is wrong with their pets.
Routine blood glucose monitoring offers great benefits to pet owners. For example, knowing that the blood glucose concentration is normal reassures owners when they have to leave the house. And a glucose concentration above or below normal tells the owner that the pet should see the veterinarian. Home glucose monitoring also provides valuable information to the veterinarian, who must decide whether or not to change the animal's treatment regimen.
Today veterinarians and pet owners can manage diabetes mellitus with the help of veterinary calibrated blood glucose monitors, diets that address their special nutritional needs, and insulin products indicated for veterinary use. This was not always the case, says Sara Ford, DVM, DACVIM, chief of internal medicine at the VCA Emergency Animal Hospital and Referral Center in San Diego.
Now we have good research to support current diabetes management recommendations, and owners can expect their pets to live a fairly normal lifespan if they partner with their pets' healthcare team to manage their pets' disease, says David S. Bruyette, DVM, DACVIM, medical director at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital in Los Angeles.
"While diabetes is a chronic disease, it is something that clients are capable of managing," he says. "We always try to reassure the owner that this is something they can do, and it will not interfere with their life."

Manhattan, NY - The battle between the three major television networks for the top spot in the morning show ratings has always been a dirty dogfight behind the scenes. Networks snatch interviews and stories from each other like vultures, but now iconic weatherman, Al Roker, has hired a lawyer, saying that NBC has taken the ratings war a bit too far.
Roker claims that for years now, NBC has been dropping him in more and more dangerous situations, all in the name of ratings. He says that the last episode, with Super Storm Sandy, was the final straw.
Roker explains, "So we all pile into the vans and head down to the Jersey Shore on the day that Sandy is gonna hit. We're gonna do a little thing on the beach near Atlantic City. Wait for a big wind gust, I fake falling over and we're outta there! We're hot tubbin' at the Double Tree before they run out of Pina Colada mix.
"Then my producer, Steve Henchman, gets a call as we're tootin' down the Garden State Parkway." Roker tells next. "He looks at me while he's on the phone and he has a really weird look on his face, like he's got some really bad news for me. It's a look I've seen before." He remembered. "He hangs up and tells me; "Double Trees' out Roker. The big wigs at the top want you to ride out the hurricane, strapped to the Atlantic City Pier."" Roker told.
Apparently, this wasn't the first time that NBC has been willing to sacrifice Mr. Roker in the name of ratings.
"Once in Oklahoma, they left me in field of cows, in the middle of nowhere, with a tornado coming straight for me. I think they were trying to recreate that scene in the movie, Twister. But instead of Helen Hunt, it would be me. Another time in California, they dropped me off in the middle of a forest fire with a bottle of water and some fruit roll-ups. I'm not sure what movie that was, but it seems vaguely familiar." Roker tried to remember. "But at least in those scenes, I could run. They didn't tie me to a tree... or a cow."
Roker's lawyers insist, that this last episode during Sandy was truly going beyond America's friendly weatherman's contractual obligations.
"Nowhere in our clients contract does it state that he will be tied down without the ability to get out of harms way during a weather event.
Roker thinks that NBC is trying to get out of their current contract that keeps him on, at a premium salary, for another ten years.
"I mean look at me," said Roker. "I've got "Corporate Punching Bag" written all over me. "They forced me to risk getting a very dangerous gastric by-pass surgery for Christ's sake, then continue to rub it in my face everyday, by having some four-star chef on the show, cooking the most delicious thing you've ever seen! It's absolutely killing me! They did it just to see if I'd snap on-air one day. I know that's exactly want they want-but I'm not going to give it to them," said a maddening Roker.
Networks are constantly switching out their on-air talent on these morning shows. Sometimes, it's because of another star. It was speculated that Today Show host, Matt Lauer had something to do with Anne Curry's recent dismissal. Did Roker think that Lauer had anything to do with his more action-packed lifestyle of late?
"I've got several theories on that," revealed Roker. "But I have to play my cards close to my chest, so I can't comment on that angle right now. Overall though, not matter who's involved, it seems that they want to knock me off and replace me with someone younger and sexier, like Mr. Super Shiny, Jim Cantore." He said of the recently purchased Weather Channel star.
About an hour into being strapped to the Atlantic City Pier, Roker started to really get angry at the corporate system. He began thrashing back and forth trying to free himself before the storm came ashore. "I thought that strapping me to the pier was one thing, but to teather me to the pier with a twenty foot metal pole was quite another. It really started to dawn on me that they were trying to get one last ratings boost at my expense."
A representative for NBC has denied most of the claims made by Mr. Roker and blames many of the accusations on climate change due to a warming planet. The network then went on to explain the official NBC corporate policy for off settings their carbon footprint, by planting a tree for every employee that they accidentally kill in the name of good ratings.

Where food and consumer goods are concerned, the consumer agenda is fickle. With food scares regularly hitting the headlines, consumers are demanding greater assurances that the food they eat is safe, nutritious and locally produced. However at the same time, price remains a key driver in consumer choices. What does that mean for the industry and for policy makers?

The pearl cockatiel is identified by its pearl markings which are usually found on the back, nape and wings. They have scallop-like feathers and have established the third mutation of the cockatiel species. It is significant to note that the pearl in their body is an effect of feather pattern changes, not a color change. The pearl cockatiel has many nicknames: the pearled cockatiel, laced cockatiel, pearly tiels, pearly cockatiel, pearl tiels and opaline cockatiel. The part of their body where the wings, nape and back feathers are edged or laced with the yellow or white color is called pearling. There are both deeply pearled and lightly pearled birds.
Cockatiel color mutations include: cinnamon, fallow, lutino, normal grey, pearl (opaline), pied, silver, whiteface (albino). Cockatiel color cross-mutations include: cinnamon-pearl, cinnamon-pearl-pied, cinnamon-pearl-whiteface, dominant silver-whiteface, lutino-whiteface (albino).

Re: Digital Pressure Cookers for Canning? Anyone Tried it?
Ohhhhh...I like the sound of that appliance. I didn't know -digital- pressure canners were on the market...guess I know what I'm gonna be talking about for Christmas.
Question: since it's digital, does it display the pounds of pressure and eveything else important?

Re: Digital Pressure Cookers for Canning? Anyone Tried it?
I've been looking into these as well. They have several different kinds, sizes and types. I'm personally looking at the MaxiMatic EPC 8 qt pressure cooker/canner.
Amazon.com: Digital Pressure Canner
The manual for this one says that you can CAN with it. - User can set pressurized cooking time from 0-99 minutes for customized cooking and it hits 12 PSI - but I thought most pressure cooking recipes require 15 PSI- which means you'd have to increase the canning time to have safely canned goods.
There's actually 2 things that draw me to this canner- first of all, it only holds 3 x 32oz. jars OR 4 x 16oz. jars at a time- which actually is a selling point for me because when I pick stuff out of the garden, I rarely have enough for 6-8 qts so I could make smaller batches and can as I go.
My biggest concern is whether or not I'm processing the items long enough at the the 12 PSI. I'm overly concerned with food safety so I study anything a million times before I go for it, lol.
- 14 Multifunctions: Reheat, Brown Rice, White Rice, Wild Rice & Grains, Vegetables & Fish, Desserts, Potatoes, Pork & Ribs, Chicken, Beans, Stew, Beef, Soup, and Browning/Keep Warm
- Convenient browning function pre-browns meats in the same pot prior to pressure cooking
- 24-hour delay timer allows user to program cooking to begin at a later time
- Attractive Brushed Stainless steel Housing
- Removable nonstick 8Qt interior cooking pot for fast, easy cleanup
- Automatic keep warm feature at end of each cooking cycle (keeps foods warm up to 12 hours)
- Automatic pressure cooking takes the guesswork out of old-fashioned pressure cookers
- Automatic resumption of cooking when power is restored after a power failure; prevents a brief power outage from ruining your meal
- Indicator beep at end of cooking cycle - lets you know when your food is ready
- Programmable pressurized cook time from 0-99 minutes for customized cooking
Here's what the Manual Says:
Before using this unit for canning purposes, check with the UDSA for food preservation guidelines or
read the publications listed at National Center for Home Food Preservation | USDA Publications
Always use canning supplies specifically manufactured for canning purposes. It is
recommended to use mason jars that are 32-ounces or smaller. Do not stack jars on top of
each other. This pressure cooker can hold up to 3 x 32oz. jars OR 4 x 16oz. jars at a time.
Always inspect your canning supplies to ensure proper function and safety. Avoid using jars
with chips, nicks, cracks or other imperfections in the glass, rims or lids.
Wash jars thoroughly in hot water according to manufacturers instructions.
Prepare food and fill mason jars and seal according to manufacturers instructions.
o Always make sure there is 1-inch of headspace in the jars.
o Use a thin utensil to release any trapped air between the food and the jar by pressing food
firmly to the sides to dislodge any air bubbles.
o Set jar lids onto the jar and screw on the outer rings until tight, then unscrew ¼ turn.
Place jars into the inner pot.
If desired, use clean dish towels to tuck around the jars to prevent them from touching each
other or the sides of the inner pot.
Fill inner pot with 6-cups of water. (Certain canning recipes may require a different amount of
Secure the lid onto the pressure cooker, turn it Counter-clockwise to lock it in place properly.
Make sure the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) is set to the Airtight position.
Plug the power cord into a 110-120V power outlet.
Follow canning recipe for the type of food you are canning and program the Pressure Cooking
Time for the specified time frame for the size of jars and type of food recipe you are using.
(EX: If you set the cook time to 30-minutes, the LED screen will display 00 30)
Press Start.
The pressure cooker will begin to operate.
When pressurization has been achieved, the LED screen will display P0 30
When the unit has reached optimum pressure, it will begin to pressure-seal the mason jars.
The programmed time will begin to count down until it reaches zero.
When time has expired, the pressure cooker will beep 3-times and automatically go to Keep
The Keep Warm indicator light will begin to flash/flicker. This indicates the Pressure Cooker is
proceeding to Naturally Release the pressure. (See Notes & Tips #5)
Open lid once pressure has completely released which is indicated by the Keep Warm indicator
light staying illuminated.
Carefully remove jars using special canning utensils or tools. CAUTION: Jars are hot!
Set jars on a towel or cooling rack and allow to cool completely in a draft-free location.
Follow recipe instructions on cooling and storage~Enjoy!~

Labrador Tea
Labrador Tea (Ledum groenlandicum and Ledum palustre), also called Hudson's Bay or Indian tea, shrubs of the heath family (Ericaceae).
Labrador Tea (Ledum groenlandicum and Ledum palustre), also called Hudson's Bay or Indian tea, shrubs of the heath family (Ericaceae). They grow up to 2 m high in wet, acidic soil throughout much of northern Canada and in peat bogs to the south. Some 4 species of genus Ledum exist worldwide, 3 in Canada. The third, L. glandulosum (trapper's tea), is sometimes used for tea. The genus is closely related to Rhododendron, and contains compounds that can be harmful in high concentrations. Also, there are poisonous look-alikes such as swamp laurel (Kalmia spp), which has pink flowers.
Labrador tea leaves are elliptical, up to 6 cm long, with revolute (backward-rolled) margins and dense, whitish to rust-coloured fuzz on the lower surfaces. The flowers are white and clustered.
Biological Importance
The aromatic young twigs, leaves and flowers have been used, fresh or dried, as "tea" by Aboriginal People and settlers. Tea should be weak; a small handful of leaves steeped in boiling water for 5 min yields a pleasant beverage. See also Aboriginal Uses of Plants.

My first job was as a chip designer at TRW, Sunnyvale back in the 1980s, and we had our own fab in Virginia, and my officemate wrote and maintained our chip design tools, as was pretty typical in those days. I worked at a series of hardware startups after that; and then took all that experience in hand to build better chip design tools. At Chronologic I led the engineering team that built the VCS simulator; then I started Surefire, where we built the SureCov and SureLint verification tools; we merged with Verisity and then into Cadence, where my team developed C-to-Silicon synthesis tools. If you're curious, LinkedIn has most of the rest of the story, including the patents I've been issued.

Khan or not Khan, whoever Benedict Cumberbatch's villain is on the upcoming Star Trek sequel, he'll have a deep impact on James T. Kirk's growth as captain of the Enterpriseâand that's what a great baddie does, right? And so says Kirk himself, actor Chris Pine.
In a video interview with MTV, Pine carefully discussedâmake that tiptoed around like a ballerinaâthe upcoming Star Trek sequel and gave praise to J.J. Abrams and his screenwriting dynamic trioâRoberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof.
"There is so much happening in their script. I can't say much of anything," Pine said. Nothing surprising there.
BUT the actor goes on to tease us about how the writing team dealt with the Enterprise crew's journey:
"What they're so good at is this kind of mythic reinvention. They're really good at writing myth, and these charactersâI think what people will find with everybodyâis that these characters go on mythic arcs," Pine said. "It's all about growing up. These are young men and young women, and they are not the crew that we know from the series. They're developing into that. It's a long way to go there."
And this is where Benedict Cumberbatch's villain (whose identity is still being kept a secret by all involved, though we can now rule out a couple of baddies Cumby could have been playing, so at least we know who he ISN'T) really comes into play for Kirk:
"It is structured so that the antagonist brings out all of the qualities in Kirk that need to happen in order for Kirk to grow," Pine said. "As you know from Benedict, just watching him, vocally, he's fascinating. He's got this deep resonate voice. He's a fascinating face. He's a lovely guy and just super smart. You want to see something firing in his brain, so he's not just a blood-dripping-from-the-fangs bad guy. Benedict brings those kinds of smarts."

Knock knock. Who's there? Chelsea. Chelsea who?
No, make that Chelsea why? The answer to the question posed in NBC's squalid new sitcom Are You There, Chelsea? (8:30/7:30c) is "not really." Based on late-night spitfire Chelsea Handler's potty-mouthed party-girl memoirs — but dropping the Vodka from the title because that might be, you know, offensive — this smutty but toothless misfire puzzlingly reduces Handler to a supporting role: that of a mousy, whiny born-again sister to the fictional Chelsea, played by That '70s Show's Laura Prepon with a one-note husky-voiced crassness that grows stale long before the first scene (in a women's jail cell) ends with Glee's Dot Marie Jones leering at Chelsea. Which is maybe the only sexual advance Chelsea spurns. As long as she can be on top. Which she mentions a lot.
The smarmy and incessant innuendo is more deafening than the laugh track, and yet no matter how low it stoops, it still lacks the zing and bite of Handler's cable antics. In a calendar year of so-far-dreadful new network comedies that has included ABC's Work It and moves on to CBS' ineptly offensive Rob on Thursday, Chelsea has the distinction of being the one that should come with a shot of penicillin.
The only upside: It's a good fit with the equally puerile Whitney, and by forming an easy-to-ignore block on Wednesday, frees up NBC's Thursday lineup for the return of 30 Rock (though at the expense of Community, sorry to say). Anyone with taste or self-regard will be watching ABC's Wednesday comedies anyway (more on that later), so if we're lucky, before long when we look for Chelsea on the schedule (though why would we?), it simply won't be there.

NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE: The transformations on Syfy's fascinating competition show Face Off (10/9c) aren't your usual TV makeovers. Unless, I suppose, you always dreamed of being turned into a movie monster. This addictive series, returning for a second season, is like Work of Art using the body as a canvas for the most macabre extremes of imagination. Contestants are a funky group of artists skilled in special-effects make-up, creature creation and sculpture, body painting and the like. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, likewise the horrific and fantastic visions they execute in each challenge, as we watch the process unfold from design and sketches to sculpting and molds to application to final touch-ups.
The opening round, introduced by the appealing host McKenzie Westmore, takes the players from the Universal Studios backlot (home of many a legendary monster) to Hollywood Boulevard, with the elimination "Spotlight" challenge involving the reinterpretation of a movie and literary classic: The Wizard of Oz. Namely, the scarecrow, tin man, cowardly lion and wicked witch. Icons of the highest order, and as they say on shows like American Idol, the goal is to make them their own. And they do, with decidedly mixed results — the tin man seems to really stump them — but scarecrows are notoriously scary objects, and in the hands of these craftspeople, they become something so fearsome in visage it would send Dorothy Gale back to Kansas in a heartbeat.
Other big news for reality fans: Tonight is the "restaurant wars" episode of Bravo's Top Chef: Texas (10/9c). What are the odds meat will be on the menu?
WHERE THE FUNNY IS: If it's Wednesday, it must be on ABC, kicking off with another inspired episode of The Middle (8/7c), in which we find the Hecks returning from the funeral of ancient Aunt Ginny — the episode is dedicated to Frances Bay, who passed away last September at 92 — with an extended scene of family banter in the car that ranks among the show's finest and funniest. When Frankie explains the concept of bereavement food, that "you're not supposed to cook" when you're sad, Brick pipes up, "Are you sad all the time, mom?" Score. Frankie really is sad, though, when she stops to think about how quickly time passes and how the family rarely stops to acknowledge the major milestones. One such milestone occurs later in the episode, as Poor Sue (Eden Sher) becomes aware she may have an admirer on the wrestling team. An actual boyfriend? Aunt Ginny would be so proud.
Suburgatory (8:30/7:30c) welcomes Cougar Town's much-missed Dan Byrd, who's killing time like the rest of us until ABC finally schedules the blasted show already. He plays an undercover narc at school befriended by Tessa, who assumes he's gay — which still doesn't stop sad-sack Lisa from crushing on him. And Tessa's not the only one in her family jumping to conclusions, as George assumes Dallas' invitation to design her boutique is yet another form of seduction. (The way she eats a banana, who can blame him?)
In the episodes not made available for preview, Modern Family (9/8c) puts Mitchell and Cam one step closer to their next adoption, as they meet with prospective birth mothers and try to keep their cool (good luck with that); and there's a guest-star alert on Happy Endings (9:31/8:31c), as Dave's dad (Michael McKean) shows up with his new girlfriend, who happens to be Penny's mom (Megan Mullally).
GOING APE: "Why Wonder Woman?" That's the question posed on NBC's Harry's Law (9/8c) as an emotionally unstable client (Smallville's Erica Durance) is accused of barbaric vigilantism after she assaults abusive husbands while wearing the classic superhero drag. Why indeed. This qualifies as a classic in-joke, referring to Law creator David E. Kelley's failed attempt to revive Wonder Woman for NBC, one of the most notorious unaired pilots in years. (It truly is a sight to behold.) The episode's other subplot involves a high-functioning runaway zoo ape on whose behalf Harry (Kathy Bates) tries to argue the issue of "personhood." Hey, he's at least as believable as any of the ridiculous human animals on this show, with its cloying mix of the painfully earnest and the quirkily precious. The maudlin storytelling made me want to rebel like Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
I'm more intrigued by tonight's scenario for NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (10/9c), seemingly inspired by the interactive off-Broadway phenom Sleep No More (also featured recently on Gossip Girl). The crime du jour involves a rape that occurs mid-performance, with the audience (in masks) believing it's part of the show. Fisher Stevens guests as the play's director, who probably wasn't aiming for that level of realism.

I'm still taking bets that 2012 is not the end of the world. I'm giving odds of 20:1 and the minimum bet is $100. Seriously!
I'll go even better, and give 100:1 odds, with a minimum of $50...
Remote viewing Tibetan monks see Extra Terrestrial
powers saving the World from destroying itself in 2012
N.K. Subramanium, Special Correspondent
December 26, 2004
Remote viewing is nothing new in Tibetan monasteries. For thousands of
years remote viewing in the middle of other spiritual activities have dominated
Tibetan culture. What some Indian tourists came to learn from a few
Tibetan monasteries under the current Chinese rule is extremely alarming
and fascinating.
According to these tourists remote viewers are seeing world
powers in the course of self-destruction. They also see that the world
will not be destroyed. Between now and 2012 the world super powers
will continue to engage in regional wars. Terrorism and covert war will
be the main problem. In world politics something will happen in and
around 2010. At that time the world powers will threaten to destroy
each other.
Between 2010 and 2012, the whole world will get polarized and prepare
for the ultimate dooms day. Heavy political maneuvers and negotiations
will take place with little progress.
In 2012, the world will start plunging into a total destructive nuclear war.
And at that time something remarkable will happen, says, Buddhist monk of Tibet.
Supernatural divine powers will intervene. The destiny of the world is
not to self-destruct at this time...
