A Look Inside the Fed's Balance Sheet
Assets on the Fed's balance sheet expanded to around $2.367 trillion in the latest week. But all the additions came from new Treasury purchases — some $18 billion just in the week ended Dec. 15. All other holdings were flat to lower. The Fed announced in November that it will purchase an additional $600 billion of Treasurys over the next eight months in addition to previously announced purchases with money reinvested from its MBS portfolio. Since the announcement, the Fed has purchased nearly $130 billion in Treasurys, while its MBS portfolio has declined by $42 trillion.
Though the overall size of the balance sheet is set to jump, the makeup is moving back toward the long-term trend. The MBS and agency debt holdings have steadily declined as loans are paid off or mature. The Fed still holds more assets in MBS — over $1 trillion — than any other portfolio, including Treasurys. Though at around $970 billion, Treasurys are catching up.
Meanwhile, other assets were also declining. The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF, ended in March, and is falling as the last loans made through the program mature. Liquidity swaps with foreign central banks have fallen back to the millions of dollars after jumping in the spring in response to European sovereign debt concerns. Direct-bank lending was essentially flat, remaining at precrisis levels.
In an effort to track the Fed's actions, Real Time Economics has created an interactive graphic that will mark the expansion of the central bank's balance sheet. The chart will be updated as often as possible with the latest data released by the Fed.

Businesses in the Dales are being urged to add a few drops of dye to their fuel tanks in a bid to drive down diesel theft.
With the price of fuel still high, thieves are increasingly targeting vehicles and siphoning out fuel so they can sell it on.
To combat the risk, Derbyshire Dales Community Safety Partnership is offering fuel dye kits to businesses when they sign up for Operation Dynamo.
The special dye can be added to tanks so that, if fuel is stolen, it will mark the thieves vehicle too and can be traced back to the rightful owner.
Businesses have to register for the scheme and are then given fuel dye kits to use on their fleets.
Warning signs are also provided and can be erected on the businesses' sites to deter any potential thieves before they strike.
Sgt Nick Reason, from Matlock Safer Neighbourhood Team, said the kits were a simple yet effective way for firms to protect their fuel.
He said: "Large fuel tanks such as those on lorries and trucks can seem like easy and profitable targets for thieves."
To find out more, call Derbyshire Dales District Council on 01629 761 100 or Derbyshire Constabulary on 101.

No. 10 UCLA Completes Season Sweep of Arizona
Nov. 13, 2010
Courtesy of UCLA Athletics
LOS ANGELES - Senior Dicey McGraw registered 23 kills, one off a career high, while junior Lainey Gera posted 27 digs, as the 10th-ranked Bruins knocked off #20 Arizona in four sets on Saturday at Collins Court in the Wooden Center. Set scores were 25-19, 21-25, 25-17, 25-14.
The Bruins improve to 19-7 overall and 9-6 in Pac-10 play, while the Wildcats fall to 18-9 and 7-7 in league action.
Sophomore Bojana Todorovic recorded a double-double, her third of the season, with 10 kills and 11 digs to go along with three aces. Sophomore Rachael Kidder was also in double figures in kills with 14, while junior Katie Camp added 11, hitting .409 with only two errors in 22 swings to go with five blocks. Junior Lauren Van Orden had 49 assists and eight digs, freshman Kelly Reeves notched 13 digs and junior Sara Sage totaled seven kills in just two sets with only one error in 11 swings (.545). The Bruins hit .304 for the match.
The Wildcats scored two of the first three points of the match, but the lead would be short-lived, as the Bruins came back with four in a row to go ahead 5-2. After an Arizona service error, McGraw had three consecutive kills to put UCLA up by three. After an Arizona sideout, a McGraw kill and a Van Orden ace brought the lead to four at 7-3. Despite giving up four of the next five to see their lead cut to one, the Bruins would not relinquish the advantage for the rest of the set. UCLA responded with a 3-0 run on kills by freshman Mariana Aquino, Todorovic and Camp to go back up by four at 11-7.
Still leading 11-9, the Bruins netted five in a row on successive kills by Todorovic, Kidder and Camp, a Todorovic ace and another kill by Kidder to give them a set-best lead of seven at 16-9. The Wildcats rallied with four in a row to cut their deficit to three at 16-13, but could get no closer. With the Bruins up 22-19, kills by Todorovic and Kidder gave the home squad set point and Todorovic clinched it with an ace to post a 25-19 victory. McGraw had seven kills and no errors in 11 swings in the opening set to pace UCLA. Camp and Todorovic added four kills apiece, Kidder notched three and Gera produced nine digs. Despite dropping the set, the Wildcats out-hit the Bruins .364 to .295.
The Bruins jumped out to a 6-1 lead to open the second set. Kills by McGraw and Camp and a Camp/Van Orden combo block gave UCLA its first three points, and following an Arizona sideout, consecutive kills by Camp, Van Orden and McGraw put the Bruins up by five. The Bruins still led 8-3, but the Wildcats netted five in a row to even the score at eight. UCLA responded with three straight and five of six to take a 13-9 edge. Kills from Kidder and Todorovic and an ace by Aquino made it 11-8. One Arizona sideout later, Camp and Todorovic teamed up for a block and a Kidder kill extended the advantage to four.
The Wildcats hung tough though and eventually took their first lead at 16-15. Down 17-16, the Bruins received consecutive kills from Todorovic and Reeves to take the lead back at 18-17. UCLA still led 19-18, but Arizona tallied back-to-back points to go ahead 20-19. The Bruins tied it at 20 and 21-all after kills by Todorovic and Camp, but the Wildcats notched the last four points of the set to take the second 25-21. McGraw paced the Bruins again with five kills, Todorovic added four and Camp and Kidder had three apiece. Reeves had seven digs in the second, as the Bruins were out-hit .310 to .268.
The Bruins never trailed in the third set to go up 2-1 in the match. UCLA posted five of the first six points on two kills by Kidder, one apiece from Camp and Sage and an Arizona attack error. The Wildcats rallied with a 6-3 run to get to within one at 8-7, but could not tie the score. Up 11-10, the Bruins notched four in a row on a kill by Sage and three straight Arizona attack errors. The Wildcats sided out the next point, but a kill by Todorovic and a solo block from Camp made it 17-11.
The Wildcats closed to within three following a 5-2 run to make it 19-16, but an Arizona attack error and two straight kills by McGraw extended the Bruins' advantage to six at 22-16. The Wildcats sided out the next point, but kills by McGraw and Kidder gave the Bruins set point and the home team won it after a bad Arizona set to post a 25-17 triumph. McGraw led the Bruins with six kills, Kidder added four and Camp and Sage posted three apiece. The Bruins out-hit the Wildcats .289 to .075.
UCLA also didn't trail in the fourth set to finish off the victory. Leading 4-3, the Bruins went on a 6-2 run to take a 10-5 advantage. Back-to-back kills by McGraw made it 6-3, and after an Arizona sideout, consecutive kills from Sage put UCLA ahead 8-4. One more sideout later, a Todorovic kill and a Kidder/Sage combo block extended the lead to five. Arizona rallied with a 4-1 run to cut its deficit to a pair at 11-9, but a 4-0 run by UCLA put the home squad back up by six. Three straight kills by Kidder and a Todorovic ace made it 15-9.
The Wildcats got no closer than five the rest of the way. On top 16-11, the Bruins rallied with four in a row to take a 20-11 advantage. Camp started the run with a kill, which was followed by back-to-back kills by McGraw and an Arizona attack error. The Bruins still led 22-14 and posted the last three points of the match to take the fourth 25-14. Sage had a kill and an ace to give UCLA match point and a Camp/Kidder combo block gave the Bruins the 11-point win. McGraw again led the Bruins in kills with five, while Kidder and Sage had four apiece. Gera had nine digs in the fourth, as the Bruins out-hit the Wildcats .375 to .100.
The Bruins head to Oregon for their final regular-season road trip when they take on 23rd-ranked Oregon on Friday at 7 p.m. and Oregon State on Sunday at 12 p.m. Gametracker/live stats will be available at UCLABruins.com.

Humiliation Day is celebrated on January 3rd of each year. The staff at National Whatever Day were unable to determine the origin of Humiliation Day. However, we believe it was established as a way to bring awareness to the negative conditions created by humiliation.
Humiliation (also called stultification) is the abasement of pride, which creates mortification or leads to a state of being humbled or reduced to lowliness or submission. It can be brought about through bullying, intimidation, physical or mental mistreatment or trickery, or by embarrassment if a person is revealed to have committed a socially or legally unacceptable act. Whereas humility can be sought alone as a means to de-emphasis the ego, humiliation must involve other person(s), though not necessarily directly or willingly. Acting to humiliate yourself may be linked to a personal belief (as with mortification of the flesh, with some religions), or it can be part of erotic humiliation where the belittling activity provides emotional and/or sexual arousal or heightened sensation.
Humiliation is currently an active research topic, and is now seen as an important – and complex – core dynamic in human relationships, having implications at interpersonal, interpersonal, institutional and international levels.

They remained standing at the tent door, with the growing moonlight about them. The camp was hushed in sleep, but sounds of music still came to them from the city below them, and fainter music from the tents of the Ouled Nails on the sandhill to the south. After Domini had spoken Androvsky moved a step towards her, looked at her, then moved back and dropped his eyes. If he had gone on looking at her he knew he could not have begun to speak.
"Domini," he said, "I'm not going to try and excuse myself for what I have done. I'm not going to say to you what I daren't say to God—'Forgive me.' How can such a thing be forgiven? That's part of the torture I've been enduring, the knowledge of the unforgivable nature of my act. It can never be wiped out. It's black on my judgment book for ever. But I wonder if you can understand—oh, I want you to understand, Domini, what has made the thing I am, a renegade, a breaker of oaths, a liar to God and you. It was the passion of life that burst up in me after years of tranquillity. It was the waking of my nature after years of sleep. And you—you do understand the passion of life that's in some of us like a monster that must rule, must have its way. Even you in your purity and goodness—you have it, that desperate wish to live really and fully, as we have lived, Domini, together. For we have lived out in the desert. We lived that night at Arba when we sat and watched the fire and I held your hand against the earth. We lived then. Even now, when I think of that night, I can hardly be sorry for what I've done, for what I am."
He looked up at her now and saw that her eyes were fixed on him. She stood motionless, with her hands joined in front of her. Her attitude was calm and her face was untortured. He could not read any thought of hers, any feeling that was in her heart.
"You must understand," he said almost violently. "You must understand or I—. My father, I told you, was a Russian. He was brought up in the Greek Church, but became a Freethinker when he was still a young man. My mother was an Englishwoman and an ardent Catholic. She and my father were devoted to each other in spite of the difference in their views. Perhaps the chief effect my father's lack of belief had upon my mother was to make her own belief more steadfast, more ardent. I think disbelief acts often as a fan to the faith of women, makes the flame burn more brightly than it did before. My mother tried to believe for herself and for my father too, and I could almost think that she succeeded. He died long before she did, and he died without changing his views. On his death-bed he told my mother that he was sure there was no other life, that he was going to the dust. That made the agony of his farewell. The certainty on his part that

Xabier "Xabi" Alonso Olano (Basque: [ˈʃaβi aˈlons̺o oˈlano], Spanish: [ˈ(t)ʃaβj aˈlonso oˈlano]; born 25 November 1981) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central midfielder for German club Bayern Munich.
Alonso began his career at Real Sociedad, the main team of his home province Gipuzkoa. After a brief loan period at Eibar, he returned to Sociedad where then-manager John Toshack appointed Alonso as his team captain. Alonso succeeded in the role, taking Real Sociedad to second place in the 2002–03 season. He moved to Liverpool in August 2004 for £10.5 million. He won the UEFA Champions League in his first season at the club, under manager Rafael Benítez, scoring the equalising goal in the Final against Milan. The following season, he won the FA Cup and the FA Community Shield. He moved to Real Madrid for the start of the 2009–10 season in a deal worth around £30 million. After five seasons at the club, winning honours including a league title in 2012 and the Champions League in 2014, he was signed by Bundesliga club Bayern Munich on a two-year contract.
He made his international debut for Spain in April 2003 in a 4–0 victory against Ecuador. While playing for Spain, Alonso has won Euro 2008, Euro 2012 and the 2010 World Cup, and he has also represented his country at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup. On 23 June 2012, Alonso won his 100th cap for Spain in the quarter-final of Euro 2012 against France; he celebrated the occasion by scoring both of Spain's goals to send them into the semi-finals. Following Spain's failure to progress out of the group stages at the 2014 World Cup, Alonso retired from international football on 27 August 2014. His 114 caps make him the fifth-most capped player in the nation's history.Close

POLLOK boss Tony McInally insists his side's dismal season can still have a silver lining after a Central League Cup win over Renfrew.
A run of seven games without a victory ended with a 5-0 triumph for a Newlandsfield side in freefall in the Super League.
A goal either side of half time from top scorer Richie Barr gave the holders a firm grip of the second-round tie.
Barr broke the deadlock in 40 minutes when he latched on to a short passback before finding the net, then four minutes after the break he drove home a cross. On the hour mark Jamie Barclay picked up a cross from the right and produced a cool finish to make it 3-0.
Two goals in the closing stages completed the rout with Kieran McAleenan blasting in a free-kick before Chris McGowan dived to head home from another set-piece.
New gaffer McInally is hoping the win can help see his side turn the corner and bring some good times back to the Glasgow club.
He said "This result will hopefully give the players a huge lift and we can now show more consistency which will bring better results.
"This is a cup we won last season and there is no reason we can't keep hold of it.
"Pollok are a club that demands a certain standard and it's my job to get the players playing to that level which I am confident of doing."

Revolutionary 3D nanohybrid lithium-ion battery could allow for charging in just seconds [UPDATED]
May 21, 2018
Cornell University engineers have designed a revolutionary 3D lithium-ion battery that could be charged in just seconds.
In a conventional battery, the battery's anode and cathode* (the two sides of a battery connection) are stacked in separate columns (the black and red columns in the left illustration above). For the new design, the engineers instead used thousands of nanoscale (ultra-tiny) anodes and cathodes (shown in the illustration on the… read more

If there was encouragement about the news that representatives of Bruins forward Jarome Iginla were meeting with Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli this past week, Bs fans wont be happy with the development on Monday.
It appears that the 36-year-old will test free agency this summer, according to Rogers Sportsnets Chris Johnston:
Jarome Iginla will test free agency for the second straight year, Sportsnet has learned.— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) June 30, 2014
The news isnt exactly surprising, as Iginla is coming off of a strong 2013-14 season where he scored 30 goals and added 31 assists. His 61 points was third on the Bruins behind David Krejci (69) and Patrice Bergeron (62), while he tied Bergeron for the team lead in goals.
Iginla came to the Bruins as a free agent last summer, signing a one-year, $1.8 million base contract, while also earning another $4.2 million in performance bonuses. He was almost a Bruin midway through the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, but vetoed a potential trade between the Bs and the Calgary Flames in favor of one with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Bruins swept Iginlas Penguins in the 2013 Eastern Conference Final.
Both Iginla and the Bruins have expressed interest in Iginla returning to Boston, but the Bs current salary cap situation is making it hard for the team to come up with a contract that will satisfy both sides.
In his 15 1/2 seasons in Calgary, Iginla scored 525 goals and tallied 570 assists in 1,219 games. He won two Maurice Rocket Richard Trophies and one Art Ross Trophy as a member of the Flames, while finishing runner-up for the 2004 Hart Trophy as NHL MVP.
It is believed that Iginla wants to go to a place that will give him the best chance to win an elusive Stanley Cup title. He has only played in the Final once, in 2004, when his Flames lost a seven-game series to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

indieWIRE REVIEW: Almodóvar's "Bad Education": Men Behaving Badly
by Michael Koresky (with responses from Jeff Reichert and Cecilia Sayad)
[EDITORS NOTE: Today, indieWIRE is launching a new weekly review column, set to run at least through the end of 2004. Weekly reviews, published on Tuesdays, will be written by critics from "Reverse Shot," an independent film journal from a talented group of film reviewers. Each critical piece will be followed by two responses from other "Reverse Shot" writers.]
Pedro Almodóvar has reached such a synthesis of craft, visual invention, and emotional acuity that it's very likely that many will willfully overlook the cavernous void at the heart of his strikingly ambitious "Bad Education," receiving its U.S. release this week. It's a delicate, squishy layer cake; and its ultimately alienating facet is that its tension is not based upon narrative flow, character revelations, or even sexual politics but rather its audience's ability to decipher where its artificiality ends and its authenticity begins. Watching it the first time, I was thrilled by the director's mischief, his ability to keep me on my toes while constantly pulling out the rug from under me; he discombobulates the viewer effectively, yet his endless hall of mirrors finally reflects nothing much recognizable beyond the usual trinkets and fetishes. By exorcising his own boyhood demons within a narrative of such complex metacinematic trickery, Almodóvar manages to even question the merits of autobiography itself.
The inciting event in the film, supposedly based on his own experiences as a young boy at Catholic school, occurs when a corrupt, molesting priest, Father Manolo, separates young boys Ignacio and Enrique, each the other's first awkward pre-teen love. From this springs upward the film's trembling house of cards: years later, in Madrid circa 1980, a young man (Gael García Bernal) claiming to be Ignacio stumbles into the office of film director Enrique (Fele Martínez), hoping that he will adapt a story he has just written, entitled "The Visit," based upon their experiences as children and featuring the character of Zahara (Bernal, also), a transvestite seeking revenge on Manolo. From there, "Bad Education" digresses into the film-within-the-film, and then to the flashback within that film to the boys' childhood, which could be from the point of view of Manolo himself. Therefore, is the flashback truly contained within the world of the main narrative or is it a double fiction within "The Visit"? Is it Almodóvar's memories or his alter ego Enrique's? or Ignacio's? or Father Manolo's?
All of the Almodóvar elements are in place, and the surface pleasures are many: the waggish playing with aspect ratios to denote different narrative plateaux, Bernal's stunning mechanized stage performance as the bosomed and sequined Zahara, the heart-thumping strings of Alberto Iglesias' triumphant, Bernard Herrmann-esque score, the panning back to reveal the grand movie set after the shooting of a key scene in "The Visit," only to discover the façade of a motel that will be used in a later scene of the 'real' narrative. Like Brian De Palma's "Femme Fatale" (a far more sumptuous and rich subversion of genre), everything in the film is a construct yet so elemental that it seems to hearken back to the site of its director's very conception. And Almodóvar has his own femme fatale, Gael García Bernal, here the most feminized in a world seemingly populated only by men, similarly trammeled by a web of ambiguous realities. Yet the guessing-game concept of "Bad Education" is dubious; once we discover that the central figure of the film could be an impostor, the whole endeavor becomes rather hollowly theoretical.
While Almodóvar's mise-en-scène is as sophisticated as ever, with its strange compositional composure juxtaposed to its boldly outrageous décor, there's perhaps too much madness to his method. With one constructed reality piled upon another with increasing fascination and simultaneously dwindling emotional reimbursement, the film finally shows desire itself as manufactured. And though it's wonderful to see the outré anything-goes sexual dalliances of Pedro's early years making a welcome return, never have his erotic scenes seemed more patently false or boxed in to such overt psychologies. The director's wondrous prior film, "Talk to Her," found the beautiful in the grotesque by letting the images wash over you in an untainted flood of emotion. Its beguiling silent movie centerpiece, "Shrinking Lover," functioned as a microcosm of the narrative, opening it up to all sorts of grandiose implications on human connection. In the case of "Bad Education," the digressions simply overwhelm; the more it expands out into various concentric patterns, the more hermetic and constricted the film becomes, finally ending on a rather solipsistic auteur's note.

Take 2
by Jeff Reichert
As shiny and perfect (some would argue emotional as well) as "All About My Mother" and "Talk to Her" were, this viewer couldn't shake the feeling that in both films Pedro Almodóvar had somehow lost his way while contorting himself to tie their myriad narrative strands together. All the talk of "maturity" that surrounded the releases of both left me unconvinced and wondering if this implied, or explained, their innate stodginess. So then what does Almodóvar's latest, the somewhat autobiographical, NYFF-feted "Bad Education" amount to? Probably not as much as its overly complicated narrative scaffolding would indicate, but who cares, especially when the results are this enjoyable? "Education" is meta- and arch, and it doesn't really make much sense in the end, but Almodóvar may be second only to De Palma (though "Education" is no "Femme Fatale") in his ability to turn this kind of heady mix into worthwhile — dare I say — entertainment.
From the first swell of Herrmann-esque strings at the open, we're in Almodóvar's court, and if he wants to treat us to Gael in drag, a priest swooning over a beatific young boy crooning "Moon River," adolescent movie theater groping, relay this all in the context of a film within the film that calls the 'reality' of everything we're watching into question, and call it vaguely autobiographical, then by all means. Maybe the greatness of a filmmaker can be defined by the recognition of limits, knowing when the sense of art direction and narrative play is stronger than the desire to rework the grand themes, and that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe "Bad Education" is minor, but looking back on it years from now perhaps we'll find it says more about Almodóvar as a filmmaker than other, more lauded works.

Take 3
by Cecilia Sayad
"Personal" films call for adjectives such as emotional, touching, sincere, frank, authentic — all associated with the belief that the artist's urgent desire for expression grants us with immediate access to his intimacy. Given that, the supposed autobiographical elements in "Bad Education" elicit audience expectations of some close proximity with Almodóvar. Yet how to detect the presence of such elements? Are they to be found in narratives that are straightforward, linear, and therefore stripped from the display of craftsmanship that some believe would distract us from a presumed content, or message? "Bad Education's" film-within-a-film structure may aim at setting us apart from this expressive artist who supposedly confides in us by opening up the dark secrets of his childhood.
Almodóvar once told The Guardian that his mother used to read letters for the illiterate in Spain. Presuming what the recipients would wish to hear, she often altered the content of these letters in order to please these people. From such generous lies, Almodóvar claimed to have learned that "reality sometimes needs a dash of fiction to work better." It follows that the claim that authenticity gets lost in "Bad Education" — probably one of Almodóvar's most accomplished exercises in style — raises the question of whether the distinction between authenticity and artificiality is something to even seek — especially in his work. After all, what do artists do if not translate authentic expression into artifice? The many narrative layers that the director creates distance us from the biographical events, multiplying the levels of fictitiousness to the point of disallowing a distinction between fact and invention. Almodóvar has always been the king of intertextual references and formal exuberance. The authenticity of his work lies in the consistency in style and themes displayed in his exemplary oeuvre. In other words, Almodóvar's essence lies in surface.

How to Make Homemade Canned Dried Beans and Peas (from Lima Beans, Pinto Beans, Kidney Beans, Snap Beans, Pole Beans, Runner Beans, Cowpeas, Chickpeas, Peas, etc.)
Kidney, navy and other varieties of dried beans are good candidates for canning or storage. Of course, you can store the dried, too, but some people prefer them canned. In your own home garden, leave the beans on the vine to mature. They will dry naturally.
In canning the dried beans, there is a key tip: Water plays an important part in the final quality of canned beans. The harder the water used for soaking and blanching, the harder and firmer the finished beans. Also, excessive alkalinity will cause the beans to disintegrate somewhat, becoming soft and mushy. However, this will not be seen until after canning them. there's not much you can do about this, but try to avoid "softened" water.
The only other trick is, you really do need a pressure canner. Every university food science department and the government will tell you that it just is not safe to use the water bath bath method; it takes the higher temperatures of the pressure canner to kill the botulism bacteria.
See this FAQ for details: Can I use a water-bath canner instead of a pressure canner for low acid foods like green beans?
BUT, with a pressure canner it's easy. And although a pressure canner costs $100 to $200 (see this page for pressure canners models, makes and prices), they last a lifetime, and your children and grandchildren may be using it. You can also find free information from the USDA in this PDF file (it will take a while to load!) about selecting and using canners here!
Prepared this way, the jars have a shelf life of about 12 months, and aside from storing in a cool, dark place, require no special attention. If you'd rather freeze your fruit, see my page on how to freeze green beans. Even easier than canning and they will taste just like fresh.. but it does take up space in the freezer.
Directions for Making Canned Dried Beans and Peas
Ingredients and Equipment
Recipe and Directions
Step 1 - Selecting the dried beans or peas
The most important step! You need dried beans that are FRESH - not old to begin with! Remove and discard any soft, diseased or spotted beans.
How many dried beans or peas and where to get them
You can grow your own, pick your own, or buy them at the grocery store. About 5 pounds of beans makes 7 quart jars; or 3-1/4 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints - an average of 3/4 of a pound per quart. A bushel, which produces anywhere from 13 to 20 quarts, weighs 30 pounds.
Step 2 - Prepare the jars and pressure canner
Wash the jars and lids
This is a good time to get the jars ready! The dishwasher is fine for the jars; especially if it has a "sanitize" cycle. Otherwise put the jars in boiling water for 10 minutes. I just put the lids in a small pot of almost boiling water for 5 minutes, and use the magnetic "lid lifter wand" (available from target, other big box stores, and often grocery stores; and available online - see this page) to pull them out.
Get a large pot of water boiling
We will use this water to pour over the beans and fill each jar with liquid, after we've packed them full of beans. I use the largest pot I have, so that there is plenty of clean, boiling water ready when I need it.
Get the pressure canner heating up
Rinse out your pressure canner, put the rack plate in the bottom, and fill it to a depth of 4 inches with hot tap water. (of course, follow the instruction that came with the canner, if they are different). Put it on the stove over low heat, with the lid OFF of it, just to get it heating up for later on.
Step 3 -Wash the dried beans or peas!
I'm sure you can figure out how to rinse the dried beans or peas in plain cold or lukewarm water.
Step 4 - Soak to Rehydrate the beans
You can use one of the following methods:
- Method 1. Place washed dried beans or peas in a large pot and cover with water. Soak 12 to 18 hours in a cool place. Drain and discard the water.
- Method 2. To quickly hydrate beans, you may cover washed beans with boiling water in a saucepan. Boil 2 minutes, remove from heat, soak 1 hour and drain. Discard the water.
Step 5 - Heat/cook the beans
Cover beans soaked by either method with fresh water and boil 30 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt per pint or teaspoon per quart to the jar, if desired. Save the water you cook them in!
Step 6 - Packing the beans in the canning jars
Fill jars with beans or peas . Pack the jars evenly, but be sure to leave 1 inch of space at the TOP of the jar.
Step 8 - Pour boiling water into each packed jar
Fill the space around the beans to 1 inch from the top of the jar with the water you cooked the beans in. That 1 inch space is called "headspace" and is needed for expansion during heading. Use a ladle or pyrex measuring cup to carefully fill each packed jar with water from pot of boiling water. The beans should be covered and there should still be 1 inch of airspace left in the top of each jar. Be careful not to burn yourself, (or anyone else - children should be kept back during this step!)
Step 9 - Put the lids and rings on
Put the lids on each jar and seal them by putting a ring on and screwing it down snugly (but not with all your might, just "snug").
Step 10 - Put the jars in the canner and the lid on the canner (but still vented)
Using the jar tongs, put the jars on the rack in the canner. By now the water level has probably boiled down to 3 inches. If it is lower than that, add more hot tap water to the canner. When all the jars that the canner will hold are in, put on the lid and twist it into place, but leave the weight off (or valve open, if you have that type of pressure canner).
Step 11 - Let the canner vent steam for 10 minutes
Put the heat on high and let the steam escape through the vent for 10 minutes to purge the airspace inside the canner.

Step 15 - Remove the jars
Lift the jars out of the water and let them cool on a wooden cutting
board or a towel, without touching or bumping them in a draft-free
place (usually takes overnight), here they won't be bumped. You can then
remove the rings if you like, but if you leave them on, at least loosen
them quite a bit, so they don't rust in place due to trapped moisture.
Once the jars are cool, you can check that they are sealed verifying that
the lid has been sucked down. Just press in the center, gently, with your
finger. If it pops up and down (often making a popping sound), it is not
sealed. If you put the jar in the refrigerator right away, you can still
use it. Some people replace the lid and reprocess the jar, then that's a
bit iffy. If you heat the contents back up, re-jar them (with a new lid)
and the full time in the canner, it's usually ok. You're done!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is it safe to can dried beans or peas in a traditional water bath? If so how long do you do process them?
A. The answer, quite simply is no. Quoting from the Ohio State University Extension's Fact Sheet:
"Pressure canning is the only safe method for home canning vegetables. Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium that causes botulism food poisoning in low-acid foods, such as vegetables. The bacterial spores are destroyed only when the vegetables are processed in a pressure canner at 240 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for the correct amount of time.
Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium commonly found in vegetables and meats. It is harmless until it finds itself in a moist, low-acid, oxygen-free environment or a partial vacuum. Under these conditions, the bacterium can grow and produce toxins dangerous to people and animals.
Do not process (low acid) vegetables using the boiling water bath because the botulinum bacteria can survive that method.
Can fruits and vegetables be canned without heating if aspirin is used? No. Aspirin should not be used in canning. It cannot be relied on to prevent spoilage or to give satisfactory products. Adequate heat treatment is the only safe procedure.
Is it safe to can dried beans or peas in a boiling water bath if vinegar is used? No. Recommended processing methods must be used to assure safety. Recommended processing times cannot be shortened if vinegar is used in canning fresh vegetables. (This does not refer to pickled vegetables.)
Salt and sugar are not preservatives for vegetables: they are added to stabilize and improve flavor, but will not prevent spoilage.
Salicylic acid is also NOT a preservative. The University of Illinois reports:
Using Aspirin for Canning
Several years ago, a recipe circulated using aspirin to acidify tomatoes and dried beans or peas for canning. Aspirin is not recommended for canning. While it contains salicylic acid, it does not sufficiently acidify tomatoes or dried beans or peas for safe hot water bath canning. dried beans or peas are low acid foods and may only be processed safely in a pressure canner. Lemon juice or vinegar is recommended to acidify tomato products for safe water bath processing.
Think of it like smoking. We all know someone who smoke their entire life and lived to be 90. But the cemeteries are filled with the vast majority who didn't. You'll hear people say "my grandmother did it that way for 20 years". But of course, the people who died from food poisoning aren't around and often didn't have descendants to tell their tale...
Pressure canners!
If you want to can low-acid foods such as red meats, sea food, poultry, milk, and all fresh vegetables with the exception of most tomatoes, you will need a pressure canner. These foods fit into the low acid group since they have an acidity, or pH level, of 4.6 or greater. The temperature which must be reached and maintained (for a specified amount of time) to kill the bacteria is 240 F. Pressure canning is the only canning method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A. for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and fish. Ordinary water bath canners can only reach 212 F and cannot to kill the types of bacteria that will grow in low acid foods. This temperature can be reached only by creating steam under pressure as achieved in quality pressure canners.
There are several manufacturers of pressure canners. The two leading ones are Presto and All American (Wisconsin Aluminum). They are more expensive than water bath canners, but extremely well built - I bought mine in 1988 and it still looks and works like new!

As long time readers of 'A Swift One' should be aware, I am a great fan of the 'Barge and Barrel' at Elland. This is the pub where I discovered the joy of real ale and the joy of a the craic in a real pub, and since I have been living in Rastrick it is a pub I have often called off at when I have been 'Shopping' (!!??). But sadly not for long.
I had heard on the grapevine that the pub was in danger of the Punch Taverns 'redevelopment' axe, but I had no firm information - I thought it may be malicious gossip. Obviously the floods at Christmas and the destruction of the adjacent road bridge will not have helped matters. It has certainly been quieter of late but I thought this may have been just a blip. Sadly it seems I was wrong.
It appears that Punch have decided on a change of direction for the pub. No longer a roadside beer paradise but a food outlet. Yippee - I can hardly contain myself. Gone will be the 10 or so real ales, always kept well and often interesting, to be replaced by generic pub food (apparently).
This seems a little short sighted in my opinion - sorry I am being pleasant - it seems bloody myopic. From a selfish point of view there are very few pubs in the locality that are aimed at the drinker, and to lose one is a tragedy. Most are aimed at the John Smiths/Lager drinker - a comment that can never be levelled at the Barge, and are average at best. I cannot understand the business plan that wants to convert a roadside boozer to a food pub when the road only travels one way, there is inadequate parking, no bus service and the promise of massive bridge works in the foreseeable future. And little or no nearby housing as a catchment area. The only plus is the nearby crematorium which may provide a few visits from bereaved relatives - but to redevelop the pub at this time on the strength of that custom . Well ??
I hope the pub rises from the ashes and succeeds, (thats on selfish level so I don't have to rearrange my shopping trips) but I am sad it will never be the same again. It still has my happy memories there though and Punch cannot take those away from me.
However it is not all doom and gloom in my bit of Calderdale, This week sees the opening af a micropub in Brighouse. It is called the 'Market Tavern' and is right in the centre of the town, just off Bethel Street at the end of the market nearest Bradford Rd. I have only looked through the windows but it seems there will be at least 4 pumps on the bar but there were no pump clips on so I cannot hazard a guess as to what should be on offer.
Opening times will 2pm till 10pm, on Wedensday and Thursday and 12 noon till 10 pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is closed Monday and Tuesday. So shopping may not be so bad after all !! I will try and call down during the week under some pretext and give you the full information.

Here are some questions we're getting a lot of. If you don't see your question, head over to the Support Forum and ask there, or contact us directly.
Q: I define my compatibility on eBay. Why do I need myFitment?
A: Generating fitment functionality using eBay's built-in tool, as well as the tools offered by traditional listing providers, is extremely labor-intensive. An inordinate amount of time has to be spent to add just a few fitments for a single listing. myFitment users add hundreds of fitments for multiple listings in minutes because our tool was created by fitment professionals from the aftermarket community with decades of experience maximizing fitment productivity. Additionally, our competitor's tools have no easy way to spot missed fitment opportunities. People won't buy what they can't see online. myFitment users take advantage of new fitment opportunities that are presented to them.
Q: What does "fitment" mean?
A: eBay users will be more familiar with the term "compatibility." It means the same thing. Our background is rooted in the traditional automotive aftermarket, so we carry over the same terms used within companies like NAPA, AutoZone, and Advance Auto.
Q: Will myFitment automatically convert the vehicles in my titles and item descriptions to fitment?
A: No. Fitment can be a very tricky business, and the computer algorithm that would be required for something like this simply does not exist. Oftentimes fitment contains arcane engine codes, OEM part number references, and other pieces of text that simply cannot be understood with a human being seeing it in context. Please contact myFitment support at email@example.com if you would like to receive a data conversion quote. Converting massive amounts of raw data is a specialty of ours.
Q: I set my compatibility last month. I'm done right?
A: No! The vehicle standards change at least once a month, so managing your compatibility is an ongoing process. Any service that implies that you can "Fit and Forget" simply does not understand the industry.
Q: How often can I publish myFitment information to eBay?
A: Every time you add or remove fitment in myFitment, it is published to eBay instantly!
Q: How long after I publish data to eBay until it will appear with my listings?
A: Immediately!
Q: What kind of user support is available to subscribers?
A: Direct email support is available as well as a moderated user support forum, which includes a growing number of "How To" documents. Our goal is to answer most questions within one business day, while more complex issues that require a review of your specific data may take a little longer depending on the issue. Oftentimes we will simply pick up the phone and call you to ensure we can solve your issue in a timely fashion.
Q: Are myFitment users private individuals, small companies, or large organizations?
A: Yes, yes, and yes. A myFitment user is anyone who is serious about selling compatibility-enabled products on eBay.
Q: What is the sign-up term?
A: The credit card you use will be billed automatically each month. You can cancel at any time. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to request a cancellation. We would appreciate finding out why you are leaving in case it can better serve our clients in the future.
Q: How do I get started?
A: You can register for myFitment and authorize myFitment to use your eBay account. Then you import your eBay Motors listings and any existing fitments, and you are ready to go.

Whatever your goals are, even if you don't think you have any goals, speak with counselors in both registration and financial aid. Keep them updated as your goals and life situation change. Take their advice, but don't hold what they say as gospel truth. Also, when you register, register early and register for classes you don't think you'll actually take; you'll need something to fall back on if a class you were counting on gets cancelled because it didn't make. There's a grace period for dropping and registering for sections without any kind of penalty after the grading period has started. On that note, do whatever you can to avoid buying textbooks--rent, borrow, use the library text if they have it. If it's an option, try to rent the e-textbook because there are a lot of helpful features--like a search engine--to make school life easier.Read More

From Pensacola, Florida, USA:
I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for eight years now, and I have always had a reaction to the insulin in during which my entire body swells. This reaction has progressively gotten worse over time, and I can literally gain 15 to 20 pounds in less than 24 hours. This causes great pain, as you can imagine, and I cannot function in daily life when this occurs. My clothes don't fit, no shoes fit, my sinuses are incredibly swollen and painful, and I am literally unrecognizable.
My endocrinologist continually says it will go away (somehow, someday), but it hasn't! It only gets worse and worse. We have tried increasing my intake slowly, and, when I get to about 10 units of the long acting insulin I start to have intense reactions, and I have tried every brand and kind of insulin on the market. Now I am starting to experience deep imbedded, intense itching, meanwhile, my fasting blood sugars remain extremely high, 400-600 mg/dl [22.2-33.3 mmol/L]), and my body is going to fail at this rate.
I have been to an allergist, who has confirmed my body has an allergic reaction to both the short and long reacting insulins, and I'm starting to get scared. None of the doctors here seem to have any answers. What do I do? Do you have any suggestions about who to talk to (a clinic out of state, some researchers -- anybody that might have some answers as to what else I can try? Please help!
It's extremely rare to have this type of insulin allergic reaction. We used to see this once or twice a year twenty-five years ago with the older insulin preparations.
You should contact an experienced diabetes specialist who knows about insulin allergy desensitization since there are protocols available to desensitize you. You need to start with extremely diluted insulins just as the allergists do (something like 1:1000 or 1:10000) and build up every few hours. You may need to contact the local medical school diabetes team to help out if your local diabetes staff do not have such experience. Also, Eli Lilly used to have a kit prepared for this. The procedures usually take place over a two or three day period but all depends upon exactly how allergic you are and how you respond to each incremental dosage. It's possible you are allergic to the insulin but also possible you are actually allergic to the diluent components. Either way, slow and steady desensitization protocols work in greater than 95% of such cases, in my experience.
Additional comments from Dr. Larry Deeb:I sent a child to an allergist who desensitized him to insulin, and he now takes it just fine.

Tehelka case: Goa Police contact woman journalist, Tejpal seeks anticipatory bail
Panaji/New Delhi: Goa Police has established contact with the young woman journalist who levelled a sexual assault allegation against Tehelka magazine Editor Tarun Tejpal even as he moved the Delhi High Court today seeking anticipatory bail.
The woman, meanwhile, resigned from the magazine to be "free from any kind of pressure" as its employee while the National Commission for Women(NCW) sought a response from the Mumbai Police on steps it has taken for her security in the wake of her statement that she was being pressurised by Tejpal's family to "protect" him.
Goa Deputy Inspector General of Police O P Mishra said in Panaji that the investigating officer in the case had contacted the woman but refused to divulge details, claiming police wanted to protect her privacy.
Justice G S Sistani of the Delhi High Court, before whom the bail petition was mentioned by senior advocates K T S Tulsi and Geeta Luthra, will hear the matter tomorrow.
Tejpal, in his petition, filed through advocate Sandeep Kapur, has also sought transit bail to approach the appropriate court in Goa.
Goa police had on November 22 lodged an FIR against Tejpal under IPC sections 376 (rape), 376 (2)(k) (rape by a person of a woman in his custody taking advantage of his official position) and 354 (outraging modesty) in connection with the incident.
When contacted, the woman journalist told PTI that she has resigned from Tehelka.
Sources said she had sent her resignation to the Tehelka management two days ago as she wanted to be free from any kind of pressure as an employee of the organisation.
The woman had issued a statement on Saturday suggesting she and her family were being subjected to pressure and intimidation at an "intensely traumatic" time to "protect" Tejpal.
Disappointed over Tehelka management's handling of the case, consulting editor Jay Mazoomdaar and Revati Laul, an assistant editor, have also have put in their papers.
There are reports that Tehelka's Literary Editor Shougat Dasgupta also stepped down and more people are likely to resign in the next few days.
A three-member Goa police team in the last two days had quizzed Tehelka Managing Editor Shoma Chaudhury and three employees contacted by the victim to corroborate her version.
The woman had mentioned the names of her three colleagues, with whom she had interacted soon after the alleged assault happened at a Goa hotel lift around a fortnight ago, in her complaint and said Chaudhury could corroborate the incident from them.

CNET First Look
Oregon Scientific's ATC Chameleon action cam puts two cameras in one bodyIt's a one-trick pony, but it's also an inexpensive way to get two different angles on the action.
Hey, there. I'm Josh Goldman with CNET and if you ever wanted to shoot action video with more than one camera, but didn't want to hassle with or pay for multiple cameras to do it, this might be the answer for you. It's the ATC Chameleon from Oregon Scientific. In a single body, you get 2 cameras, each adjustable 180 degrees. One moves horizontally, the other vertically allowing you to shoot different views simultaneously. The body is made from a lightweight polycarbonate that's splash-proof so you don't have to worry about riding in the rain. But if you actually want to take it in the water, there's a waterproof housing for it that's good down to 20 feet. The camera is about as simple as they come, just position the lenses and slide the big switch on the top forward and you're recording. Each lens captures at 720p at 30 frames per second and outputs is one MP4 file either with the video side-by- side or stacked. A switch on the side lets you pick which one you want. But that's the only setting choice you get. It doesn't do anything else. No photos, no burst shooting, no time lapse, no other resolution options and everything is automatic. You can even choose to capture just from one camera. So, you always end up with 2 different views in your video. The camera does come with viewing software which lets you do picture on picture or view just one camera, but it has no editing features and can't export the videos in this other views. Video quality is okay, good enough for posting in the sharing sites but it's soft and lacks detail and you definitely don't wanna use it in low light. Now when it first came out, it was priced at $200 and that was for the camera, a USB cable, and vented helmet and tripod mounts. That same package is now available from Oregon Scientific for 80 bucks, which even with its limitations isn't a bad deal. I'm Josh Goldman and that's a look at the ATC Chameleon action cam.

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, is warning Israel that if it pursues a war in Lebanon Hezbollah would fire thousands of rockets into Israel and target major cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Nasrallah has said in the past that Hezbollah has over 20,000 missiles and rockets, while Israel estimates Hezbollah's arsenal at several times that number. Israeli intelligence believes Hezbollah can target any area of the country.
Nasrallah said the Fajr-5 Iranian-made rockets from Gaza "shook Israel" continuing:
How is it (Israel) going to stand thousands of rockets that will fall on Tel Aviv and other areas if it launches an aggression against Lebanon? … The battle with us is going to be all over occupied Palestine. From the border with Lebanon to the frontier with Jordan to the Red Sea. The Israelis should listen well to me. From Kiryat Shemona to Eilat.
In 2006, Hamas fired nearly 4000 rockets against Israel, only one of which was a long-range rocket, but their long-range capacity has mushroomed.

Jailed Bohemia Interactive Devs Send Their Thanks
If you can remember back a few months then you would have seen the post on two Prague based developers who were jailed in Greece on espionage charges.
The two unlucky chaps who work for developer Bohemia Interactive were arrested for taking pictures of military compounds on the island of Lemnos, gathering intel for upcoming shooter ArmA III. Unfortunately the two are still detained and have recently sent a letter to everyone who has supported them up to this point.
The pair could end up seeing 20 years in prion if they're fully charged, but spirits are high with the two devs and are they're both being treated fairly by Greek police. You can read the handwritten letter of thanks sent to Bohemia Interactive below.
Fans and supporters are able to send the duo their best wishes through helpivanmartin.org, with messages flooding in daily. Hopefully an end can come to this whole issue more swiftly and get the boys from Bohemia home to their families in time for Christmas.
Do you think Greek officials are making mountains out of mud hills? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below and check out our Facebook page for more of today's gaming news.
