Unit 12: Kinetics and Nuclear Chemistry—Rates of Reaction
Hosted by Wilton L. Virgo
From an instantaneous explosion to the slow rusting of iron, the rates at which different chemical reactions proceed can vary tremendously depending on several factors, including temperature and concentration. Sometimes, like with the rotting of food, chemists want to slow down reaction rates. But often, the goal is to speed them up—and one way to do this is to use a catalyst. In this video, we will learn about catalysts and how using them can lead to cheaper, more effective, and more sustainable drug production processes. We will also discover how the rates of some reactions, like nuclear decay, are unchangeable, and how scientists take advantage of this, using PET scans to reveal the presence of disease.

IGAD Must Rein In Uganda President's South Sudan Militarism
Uganda's Museveni
Freedom and Unity Front, the Liberation platform for the pacification and democratization of Uganda, views the on-going Ugandan unilateral and one sided military intervention in South Sudan by Gen. Yoweri Museveni as unhelpful.
Other than his usual regional domination power politics, it is also designed to mask the mounting pressure by pro-democracy campaigners within Uganda for him to step down.
It is not surprising that most Ugandans, including the Members of Parliament, are expressing grave concern about the unilateral and unsanctioned deployment of Ugandan troops in South Sudan without the express permission of the Ugandan parliament as required by the constitution and in ways that are evidently counter-productive and unhelpful to the regional and international efforts to facilitate a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
Mr. Museveni should have known that the problems in South Sudan are essentially political that required unbiased assessment and measured action supported by all sides to the conflict and fully in line with the regional and other international efforts.
And now, Uganda is once again suffering the humiliation of being condemned and isolated by people of South Sudan and the international community which has forced Museveni's Prime Minister to deny the one-sided and unilateral intervention.
Museveni's posturing that he would "crush" former South Sudan Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, which he even has no capacity to do, has been replaced by a shameful climb-down as exemplified in his meeting with Mrs. Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior, John Garang's widow, and other Sudanese officials opposed to President Salva Kiir government instead of issuing hollow threats.
FUF calls on the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the regional body, to reign in Mr. Museveni and to focus on a neutral approach helpful to all the people of South Sudan and the region.
FUF stands together with our Brothers and Sisters in South Sudan.
They should not lose hope as their country will emerge stronger after these trials.
Dr. Vincent Magombe, FUF Press Secretary

NEW YORK – UMBC junior Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) successfully retained her conference titles in the 60m and 200m dash events, while junior Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) and senior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) broke school records, as the UMBC track and field teams completed competition at the 2014 America East Indoor Championships, Monday at The Armory.
Albany swept the men's (219 pts.) and women's (198 pts.) team titles with Binghamton (M-140.5 pts.; W-126 pts.) placing second in both standings. The Retriever women placed fifth overall with 85 points while the men also claimed fifth-place with 72.5 points.
After leading the qualifying rounds in both events yesterday, Jackson swept the sprint events for the second straight year, pushing her career conference indoor gold medal tally to five. She also won the 60m dash her freshman year in 2012. The junior first captured the 60m title with a time of 7.42, just .01 off of her season-best. Then she made it a sweep by taking the 200m title with a season-best mark of 24.00, .02 away from her school record (23.98) set last season.
Beeman made it two school records in two days, capturing the conference title and top UMBC height in the high jump after bettering her school-best pentathlon score on Sunday. Already the Retriever record holder after clearing 1.71m (5'7.25") at the Terrapin Invitational back in January, Beeman pushed past the field at the 1.70m (5'7") mark. She kept going and raised the UMBC bar to a record height of 1.74m (5'8.5").
In the men's event, senior Mo Drammeh (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) finished sixth after clearing 1.94m (6'4.25").
Senior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley), the school record holder in the 800m run, grabbed a gold in the event in New York. Smith outclassed the America East field by posting a time of 1:51.17.
Mezebish earned a silver medal at her final America East Indoor Championships with a new school record time in the women's 800m. Entering the meet with a personal-best of 2:14.71, which ranked third all-time, Mezebish crossed the line at 2:12.41 in New York, to finish second and qualify for the ECAC Championships.
In the men's one-mile race, senior Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) placed third. Later, he led off for the Retrievers' 4x800 relay of sophomore Nick Johnson (Olney, Md./Sherwood), junior Charles Bolinger (Bowie, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt), and Smith, which also won a bronze with a time of 7:41.31, which meets the IC4A standard.
The women's team of Mezebish, junior Mary Katherine Kulp (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal), sophomore Angelina Oputa (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton), and junior Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) also placed third, combining for an ECAC qualifying time of 9:20.68. Oputa also recorded a personal-best in the 1,000m race. She finished seventh in the run, but improved her best time to 2:57.23 which ranks third in the UMBC record book.
In the 3,000m run, sophomore Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) bettered his own school record time to win a bronze medal. Omar set the previous record and qualified for the IC4A meet with a 3k time of 8:23.50 at the NYU Team Challenge on Jan. 24 but bested it at the conference meet on Monday by crossing the line at 8:22.56.
Sophomore Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany/Elite Sportschule Potsdam) finished third in the heptathlon. After scoring 2,695 pts. on the first day of the seven-event competition on Sunday, Rentzsch added 2,194 pts. for a personal-best total of 4,889 pts. The sophomore finished second in the 60m hurdles (8.57) on Monday while finishing sixth in the pole vault (3.95m; 12'11.5"), as well as the 1,000m run (2:51.65).
In the men's triple jump, senior Dosu Teyibo (Silver Spring, Md./Barrie) tied for second with a career-best distance of 14.40m (47'3"). With his leap, Teyibo moves up into a tie for sixth all-time in UMBC history.
Junior Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) and sophomore Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) placed fourth in the men's and women's shot put events. Serafenas recorded a top season toss of 15.56m (51'0.75") while Edokobi's top heave measured 12.71m (41'8.5"). Senior Emma Mayne (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) and sophomore Jennifer Nelson (Plainfield, Conn./Plainfield) also advanced to the finals of the women's event.
Select Retriever athletes will now compete at the IC4A and ECAC Championships in Boston on March 8-9.

Off the grid
March 29, 2012 § 18 Comments
I used to be off the grid, you know, no speedometer or HRM and certainly no power meter, just riding in a fog on a steel bike pounding like an idiot until I couldn't pound anymore and then slacking off until I could hear myself pant and then whaling away again at the pedals until I was gagging and crosseyed and had my face covered in the sheetsmear of snot and spit and then back it off until my eyes could focus again and then just pound and flail away to a fare-the-well. The thing about this methodology is that, often times, after a while there would only be one or two, or sometimes even no idiots left.
Other times, though, I'd just crack, fade, and watch the peloton whoosh away.
So I figured that I needed to take advantage of modern training methods, and along with a super pro doping regimen of corticosteroids, masking agents, blood boosters and coke and amphetamines and shit I would get a speedometer and a Garmin and a power meter and a copy of TrainingPeaks and then I'd read a bunch more shit and analyze my numbers and track my FTP and learn about my power-to-weight ratio and understand how many matches I could burn in a race and then periodize the whole shebang and, along with the drugs and the new carbon bike and the carbon wheels and the computer technology I would be bad ass, just like I imagined I used to be back in the day, when in fact I wasn't really bad ass at all, and was pretty much just half-bad ass, or really mostly nice and obedient ass.
Problem is, I couldn't afford the drugs or understand how to use them without killing myself or growing a third eye, and even the new bike and wheels took a one-year no-interest payment plan from Specialized, and by the time I'd added the power meter I was flat fucking broke-er than I'd ever been before and was having to seriously consider starting the year with something less than $900 in new kits designed by Joe Yule and StageOne.
Other problem was that after close to three years of data and power analysis, I still sucked. The numbers didn't lie, and although they'd occasionally whisper sweet nothings in my ear ("Today's 20-min power was the best in six months, you powerful cycling stud and overall sexy dog!"), those occasional sweet nothings were invariably drowned out by the raucous jeering of race day results: "YOU–YES, YOU!!–SUCK! Go home now! You've never been any good and you never will be!"
Strava to the rescue
Somewhere along the way I discovered Strava, which was kind of an antidote to race day suckage in that I could always go create a special segment that went from, say, from the garage's electronic gate that no one can get behind without a buzzer, to the entrance by the apartment tennis courts, and then I could own the shit out of that segment. KOM all fucking day, poseurs. Eat my bytes.
That brief bit of consolation turned to gall and wormwood when GregBot sniffed out my KOM's and one by one took them all away, often teaming up with Wankers Deluxe like Douggie and Fireman. And because GregBot has a Ph.D. in psychology he was even able to reprogram the garage's electronic gate. The one segment I was sure I'd own until doomsday is now his. You can look it up if you don't believe me: Lowridge Apartments Garage Gate to Tennis Courts, RPV, California. Eleven seconds. KOM: GregBot.
The final straw, though, was sixteen days ago. I'd forgotten my Garmin for the first time ever. It was the morning of the New Pier Ride, and without my computer I was lost. How many rpm's was I doing? How close was I to my threshold? How fast was I going? What time was it? How many kilojoules had I expended? What was the current lap time, lap power, three-second power, and total elapsed time? What the fuck was I supposed to do?
As we hit Pershing I fell into the Old Way. The Way before power meters, before carbon wheelsets, before plastic bike frames, before brake lever shifters, before calculations and analysis and review and segments and training regimens and all that other shit.
The Old Way of Hammer
According to the Old Way of Hammer, one simply hammers without regard to anything other than how long one can continue hammering. The only limiter to the Old Way of Hammer is pain. You are not slowed down by wind, power, heart rate, spoke count, lack of aero equipment, hills, dirt, rain, gear ratios, strategy, distance, size or quality of field, red blood cells, glycogen, oxygen, water, time or space. You are only slowed by pain.
As I fell into the Old Way things felt suddenly better. It no longer mattered how many watts I wasn't producing, because ultimately I would run out of oxygen, my legs would seize up, and I would spin off to the side like a jettisoned rocket booster. It no longer mattered how fast I was going because, until someone came by, I was going faster than everyone else. It no longer mattered how badly it hurt, because once I could no longer tolerate the pain I would stop, and then the pain would go away, and I could hammer again.
Many years ago my granny made me an Afghan blanket that says in the bottom left-hand corner in her neatly embroidered hand, "1974, For Seth With Love."
Every time I pull that blanket over my knees, curling up to write nasty political diatribes to strangers on FB I feel all cozy and warm, from the soft texture of the wool yarn but also from the comfort of that familiar blanket. That's how I felt rolling up Pershing in the Old Way, wrapped in a warm, familiar, sweat-soaked, snot-covered, heaving, choking blanket of pain. Welcome back, Kotter.
Moderation is a sign of instability
No matter the side of the fence you're on, whether you're Beachbody or ViSalus, Amway or HerbaLife, Ambulance Chaser or Insurance Whore, you'd better be all in. People who try to find the best out of various alternatives end up as appealing as a rum-soaked Christmas fruitcake with fifteen different kinds of dried fruit. Like Jesus? Spread the fucking word and don't take "Sorry, I'm Jewish," for an answer. Think Ron Paul is the answer to our problems? Tell the world, adorn your ass with his bumper stickers, and don't be deterred by the fact that he's a crazy, right-wing, mysogynistic, racist whackdoodle. As Mark Bixby said, "Go big or go home."
So when I realized that the Old Way was really the best way for me, I sent TrainingPeaks to the recycle bin, then stripped off all the data measuring devices from my Specialized Scratch and retired them. PowerTap hub and Zipp 404's to Ebay. Garmin to The Box Where Used Bike Parts Go To Die.
And the more I thought about it, the happier I became, which was almost reason to put them all back on again. The numbers never really told me anything anyway, at least nothing I could use. On the other hand, they constantly reminded me of how hopelessly out of reach true ability on the bike would always be. Cycling, the ultimate sport of fantasy, where everyone can be a winner if he just ignores all the people around him, had become like golf: cold, hard, numerical, unwinnable, and impregnable to the prodding penis of fantasy.
You know how no doctor has ever said, "Well, Joe, you should take up golf in order to get a handle on this high blood pressure"? That's how biking had gradually begun to feel. It was like golf without Tiger's tawdry tabloid stories, which frankly were the only thing that ever made golf seem remotely like an activity that might appeal to me.
Best of all, this newfound love of the oldfound way has allowed me to do the one thing that makes the entire cycling endeavor worthwhile: buy new stuff. Without the PowerTap Zipps I needed a new set of wheels, and it just so happened that the bike shop had a brand new pair of Mavic Open Pro 32-hole clinchers built up on–gasp, sweat, palpitate, throb, swoon–Chris King hubs. My very first day going commando on the new wheels in the Old Way, I got that rarest of rewards, an NPR vee thanks to a hard effort and an auspiciously timed red stoplight.
This weekend is the Torrance crit. I'll be off the grid and, after a thorough Old Way flail, likely off the back. But I be listening to some liquid crystal display tell me how badly I suck. I'll be listening to that mellifluous, deluded inner voice telling me I just won the Tour.
§ 18 Responses to Off the grid
My brother, this is why I have never trained with a watt-meter. Watts are vicious, cold and judgmental. Heart rate? Heart rate is the beautiful percussion of your soul telling your legs to stop being pussies and pedal harder.
Almost twenty years without any kind of measuring device on my bike and counting ! When I'm fit (very rare nowadays) I don't care how fast I'm going, how many kilometers I have just accomplished or what my top speed was, when I am not fit (= most of the time), I really don't want to know at all… Old School all the way, my fav pair of wheels? Campy Chorus 32 hole hubs with flat Campy tubular rims, laced up with DT revolution spokes and alloy nipples. Built them myself of course…
My brother, I long ago calculated my power to weight ration to the twenty-second decimal point. I have recalibrated a billion times, and every time it comes back the same: too little power; too much weight. Got a Garmin for Xmas from my loving family. It spoke to me in no uncertaint terms: Dude, you're old, fat, and slow. It was almost enough to make me cry. But instead, I got on my ancient Nago and said "man, do I love feeling the wind go by, the company of friends, and the views after suffering my fat arse up a good hill. That's what it's all about (at least back here in the sub-wanker grupetto).
So you mean all that stuff you told me about how aero the SL4 was & how much faster it was coasting down Via Del Monte according to your Garmin was bullshit?
I had this same ephinay in 1996 when I had the pleasure of riding all over Mallorca with Alex Steida & some former Frenceh pros……I was as fit as ever & the old French dudes would drop me like I was tied to a tree on the climbs…..I would reach the top to find them smoking cigarettes while they waited for me! First thing I did when I got home was chuck my Avocet 45 & my HR monitor in the trash……haven't had a computer or any real fitness since but man have I met some great people & seen many beautiful sights as I was not fixated on the stupid little computer mounted to my bars.
Strava rules. You're right though.
So, WM … have you now embraced classic steel frames, 7-speed downtube-mounted shifters, toe clips, and wool jerseys?
Wanky, I am new to reading your stunning work and when I say stunning it refers to the warm feeling that spreads throughout my body at the joy of finding some writing loosely based around this cycling thing on the interdweebs that does not all at once inflame my temper, kindle all kinds of shame and doubt on what it all means, and bore me to slow, burning, boring tears.
So I say Huzzah! to you and your thought process and your stories and perspectives and humor. It's really good. I just want to tell you that. I might not throw away this iPhone now that there is something I am look forward to reading on the toilet for a while.
Remarkably, the riding scene here in rural Alabama is sometimes mistaken for nonexistent but luckily over time a few of us found each other and now we can muster a mighty peloton of 3 or 4 on some Saturday mornings. My brother started calling us "RIP CREW" and it stuck. Just last weekend a motion was presented to amend the name to RIP CREW p/b TUFF CLUB after becoming inspired by the tale of one of our members children who had gotten into a bit of trouble at school for establishing the aforementioned club in which the price of initiation and the honor of the "tuff" descriptor came at the price of subjecting oneself to a kick in the nether regions from an established club member.
RIP CREW p/b TUFF CLUB
(and now, thanks to you, in ornate lettering beneath…….)
Your new #1 fan from Grassy, AL,

Himratul-Aznita, W.H. and Mohd-Al-Faisal, N. and Fathilah, A.R. (2011) Determination of the percentage inhibition of diameter growth (PIDG) of Piper betle crude aqueous extract against oral Candida species. Journal of Medicinal Plants Research, 5 (6). pp. 878-884. ISSN 1996-0875

Species within the genus Candida have been implicated in many fungal diseases such as candidiasis or thrush. The increasing clinical and microbiological resistance of Candida species towards several commonly prescribed antifungal agents however, has lead to the search for new active antifungal compounds from natural resources. This study was carried out to screen the susceptibility of the aqueous extract of Piper betle towards seven species of oral Candida. It was found that P. betle extract exhibited high antifungal activities towards Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida dubliniensis, Candida lusitaniae, Candida krusei and Candida parapsilosis. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) value of P. betle extract towards all Candida species was found to be similar (12 mg/ml) except towards C. albicans which has been shown to have MIC value of 12 mg/ml and slightly higher MFC value of 25 mg/ml. The recorded data on the growth responses of the species to various concentrations of the extract following a 24 h incubation period were analysed, using the percentage inhibition of diameter growth (PIDG) against chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX). The determination of PIDG values for C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. lusitaniae, C. dubliniensis and C. glabrata has shown that the aqueous extract of P. betle outstrips the positive control used, that was 0.12 w/v chlorhexidine with PIDG values of more than 50 at P. betle concentration of 25 mg/ml. In contrast, PIDG for C. krusei and C. parapsilosis shows that at 25 mg/ml concentration of P. betle extract has little influence on growth inhibition compared to CHX. Thus, the results obtained have shown the potential use of P. betle extract as antifungal agent and thus significantly contribute to its antifungal development.

As we push through the garden gate of the old homestead, we are surprised at how much smaller things are than we remembered them, and how much work needs to be done. -The Hummer-

Our International Wedding
Ned was in the International Students Organization at the University of Houston in Texas. His roommate (our usher) was from Jordan and Ned hung out with the Arab student organization also (the source of another usher). His best friend and Ned's best man was Jewish. My best friend, and Maid of Honor, was first generation American, her parents were Czech.
I was an Okie, and he was a Texan. That was a international meeting in itself.
There wasn't a professional photographer, so pictures were being taken by anyone with a camera, with everyone looking somewhere. It was wonderful, and full of love.

Shenjing shuairuo
Many psychiatrists in communist China between the 1950s and the 1970s reported patients showing symptoms of shenjing shuairuo, which translates as 'nerve weakness'. The reports came soon after the neurasthenia diagnosis fell out of use among psychiatrists in North America and Europe. The term shenjing shuairuo had appeared in Chinese medical writings in the early 1900s, particularly in translations of European and American writing on neurasthenia.
In the 1980s an influential American psychiatrist and anthropologist made controversial allegations about shenjing shuairuo. He said this supposed epidemic was an attempt to disguise high rates of depression, and dissatisfaction with a repressive regime, as nerve illness rather than mental illness. Many psychiatrists in China rejected the implication neurasthenia was a myth, but many psychiatrists outside China saw the existence of such a 'myth' as justifiable. They said it was necessary in an environment where sadness, despair and fatigue could be interpreted as lack of dedication to the communist revolution. In other words, like neurasthenia and nervous breakdown, the diagnosis protected people from some of mental illness's most painful social consequences.
The diagnosis of shenjing shuariuo began disappearing in China around the year 2000. This was especially true in urban areas, and among Chinese psychiatrists trained in Europe and North America. Anthropologists have attributed this change to economic reforms improving the quality of life, increased freedom to discuss psychological and emotional problems, and the global influence of Western psychiatry. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), for example, recognises depression but not neurasthenia. Another factor is foreign companies marketing antidepressants in China. They widely publicised the anthropological argument that neurasthenia was 'really' depression in disguise, because it enlarged the market for such medications.

Step-by-Step Tutorial & Tips:
Apple Cider & Citrus Turkey Brine with Herbs and Spices
Never (ever) worry again about serving a dried-out and tasteless turkey for the holidays. Experienced home cooks as well as professional chefs rely on old-fashioned brining techniques to assure a moist, succulent, flavorful roasted turkey. Brining is easy once you nail down the basics. And we, here at Wicked Good Kitchen, believe our recipe for Apple Cider & Citrus Turkey Brine with Herbs and Spices is one of the very best amongst other turkey brine recipes. We have honed it over the years and are happy to share it with you this holiday season!
General Brining Tips for a Tender & Juicy Bird
In addition to our recipe, please review the following general tips when brining a turkey. We hope you find them helpful.
What exactly is brining? Brining is the process of marinating meat or poultry in a salt, sugar, water and/or juice solution. Via the process of osmosis, brining makes cooked meat moist and juicy by hydrating before cooking. (To read more of the science involved, visit Brining.) Brining, depending on the juices, herbs and spices used, also enhances the flavor of the meat.
How to Select a Turkey for Brining: Once you have decided to brine your turkey, finding the right turkey for your holiday celebration is essential. Look for labels using the following terms "all-natural", "no additives", "minimally processed", etc. Turkeys that have been treated with a salt solution will have labels that read, "basted", "self-basting", "enhanced", "injected", or "kosher". Pre-brined or kosher turkeys are not recommended for brining. The reason is because the turkeys have already been treated with salt. And, you certainly do NOT want an overly salty turkey!
Salt Choices for Brining: There are three (3) types of salt commonly used and available to home cooks for brining turkeys: regular table salt (iodized or not), kosher salt and crystal kosher salt. Kosher salt works especially well because it dissolves more easily than regular table salt and it is pure salt with no additives. It is important to know, due to the different granular sizes of each salt, that they do not measure by volume (per cup) equally. Therefore, they cannot be substituted by volume. Our recipe calls for kosher salt. For every cup of kosher salt, use 3/4 cup regular table salt or 1 1/2 cups crystal kosher salt.
Selecting Brining Bags: Look for brining bags in the size that will accommodate the weight of your turkey. We purchase ours from Williams-Sonoma and use the largest bag for our 18-pound turkey. Never use plastic garbage bags or nonfood-grade plastic bags.
How Long Should I Brine My Turkey? Brining typically is for at least 18 hours or up to 2 days. However, the general rule is to brine 1 hour per pound under 40 degrees F. If desired, to prevent an overly salty turkey, rinse the turkey thoroughly inside and out with cold water after removing from the brining solution. Then, pat dry with paper towels inside and out. At this point, the turkey can safely be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. We like to prepare our turkey the night before roasting by buttering and seasoning it, placing it in the roasting pan and then leaving it uncovered for crispy, darker skin. Then, the next morning, we remove the turkey and let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature before stuffing and roasting.
Customize Your Brine to Taste: Consider customizing your brine. For instance, if you like the flavor of garlic for a more savory turkey, add a few crushed garlic cloves to your brine and stir it well. If you wish to enhance the black peppercorn flavor, consider crushing your peppercorns to release their flavor before adding them to the brine. Although we prefer using fresh herbs, dried herbs can certainly be used. Since they are more concentrated in flavor than fresh herbs, the general rule of thumb in substituting fresh herbs for dry is 3:1. This means for every 3 teaspoons or tablespoons of fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon or tablespoon of dry herbs.
A Note on Seasoning: Because the drippings from a brined turkey will be saltier, be sure to use low-sodium broth (if using store bought and not making your own). Then, season to taste.
Refrigerator Space: Make sure you have enough refrigerator space available to accommodate your turkey and its container. As we mention in our Tips section of our recipe, perhaps removing a deli drawer will provide enough clearance.
Refrigeration: Refrigeration is necessary. For food safety reasons, the turkey and brine must be refrigerated during the entire brining process.
What makes our recipe for Apple Cider & Citrus Turkey Brine with Herbs and Spices wicked good?
Well, to begin with, the kitchen aromatics alone will make you feel as though you are soon to be dining with royalty at The King's Table! However, it is the fact that our recipe combines the best of both worlds in the way of taste sensations by combining both apple cider and citrus juices—to include the essential oils from the rinds—making our recipe a true standout.
Our Apple Cider & Citrus Turkey Brine with Herbs and Spices is seasoned to perfection with the finest in fresh herbs and fragrant spices to include garlic, rosemary, sage and thyme as well as whole star anise, cinnamon, allspice and juniper berries. In addition, our brine consists of equal parts apple cider (not just a few cups like most recipes) and water assuring a deep, flavorful roasted turkey. Furthermore, we call for just enough salt to ensure a juicy turkey—without giving it an overly salty taste—by drawing moisture into the meat keeping it tender and juicy as it roasts. Finally, our recipe does not include a cup or two of sugar or brown sugar as other recipes do. The natural sugars found in the apple cider and fresh citrus juices does the sweetening job splendidly. Therefore, our recipe can be considered "no sugar added". Your family and friends will give rave reviews and pronounce you a rock star chef!

Cider & Citrus Turkey Brine with Herbs and Spices
- Prep Time: 1 hour
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
- Yield: For 16 to 20-pound turkey
An exceptional turkey brine consisting of both apple cider and citrus juices as well as herbs and spices with just the right amount of salt to ensure a tender, juicy roasted turkey.
For the Turkey
- 1 (16 to 20-pound) fresh turkey, rinsed & patted dry, with neck & giblets reserved for stock
For the Apple Cider, Herb & Spice Infusion
- ¾ to 1 gallon (12 to 16 cups) apple cider
- 1¼ cups kosher salt
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 whole bay leaves
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh sage
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 to 8 whole star anise pods
- 3 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon allspice berries
- 1 tablespoon juniper berries
- 1 or 2 4-inch cinnamon sticks
- ¾ to 1 gallon (12 to 16 cups) chilled water, preferably distilled
For the Citrus & Onion Infusion
- 3 medium to large oranges, cut into wedges with rind intact
- 2 large lemons, cut into wedges with rind intact
- 2 medium yellow onions, cut into wedges with skin intact
Special Equipment & Supplies
- 1 12-quart stockpot, with lid
- 1 large pitcher
- 1 large oval enamel roasting pan, without lid
- 1 large brining bag, such as Williams-Sonoma® brand
- 1 heavy duty clip (we use Firm Grip® clip from Home Depot) or strong cotton butcher's twine
- Prepare the Apple Cider, Herb & Spice Infusion: In a large 12-quart stock pot, bring ¾ gallon (12 cups) apple cider, salt, garlic, herbs and spices to a boil. Stir occasionally to dissolve salt. Remove from heat. Add ¾ gallon (12 cups) chilled water to cool liquid slightly. Meanwhile, reserve ¼ gallon (4 cups) apple cider and ¼ gallon (4 cups) chilled water in refrigerator should it be necessary to cover turkey completely with additional brine inside brining bag later. This, of course, depends on the size of your turkey.
- Prepare the Brine with Citrus & Onion Infusion: After the Apple Cider, Herb & Spice Infusion has cooled somewhat (no longer very hot, but still very warm), squeeze citrus wedges into the liquid adding each rind after expelling juices. Next, add onion wedges and stir. Cover stockpot and allow the brine to steep. Cool to room temperature. (This will take a few hours.) If preparing brine the day before brining turkey, chill brine in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Assemble the Turkey & Brine in Brining Bag: Open zip-top brining bag wide and insert into enamel roasting pan with high sides. Using a large liquid measure (I use my 2-cup glass measure), scoop some of the brine and place it into bottom of large brining bag. Insert the turkey over the brine breast side up. Using a slotted spoon, place some citrus and onion wedges into the cavity of the bird and continue to add the remaining brining liquid over the turkey in the brining bag. Carefully close zip-top and expel as much air as possible. (It helps to have two sets of hands at this point.) Gather top of brining bag and twist. Secure brining bag at the top so that brine covers entire turkey. (We used a Firm Grip clip, but you can use butcher's twine to tie the bag closed.) If the brine needs more liquid to cover entire turkey, add enough of the remaining ¼ gallon (4 cups) each of the chilled cider and water in equal parts to brining bag before securing closed. (We start by adding 2 cups of each the cider and water and then go from there.) Transfer roasting pan, with turkey and brine in brining bag, to refrigerator. Soak turkey for at least 18 hours or up to 2 days.
- Prepare the Turkey for Roasting the Night Before: The night before you plan to roast your turkey, remove it from brining solution; discard brine and brining bag. Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water, if desired, and pat the bird thoroughly with paper towels to dry completely inside and out.
- Note for Roasting: Now that your turkey has been successfully brined, we recommend that you follow our recipe for Brandy & Tangerine-Glazed Roasted Turkey (coming soon to the blog) or your favorite recipe. At this point, our Brandy & Tangerine-Glazed Roasted Turkey recipe will guide you to butter and season your turkey with either butter or Herbed Compound Butter and refrigerate it overnight uncovered in the roasting pan. After refrigerating overnight, and resting for 1 hour at room temperature the next morning, the turkey will be ready to go directly into preheated oven to roast.
Yield: Makes enough brine to soak a 16 to 20-pound fresh turkey.

Step-by-Step: Turkey Brining 101 Tutorial
Mise en Place: Everything in place. Apple cider, kosher salt, minced garlic, bay leaves, fresh rosemary, sage and thyme sprigs, whole star anise pods, whole black peppercorns, whole allspice and juniper berries, cinnamon stick, and wedges of onion, lemon and orange.
In a large 12-quart stock pot, bring ¾ gallon (that's 12 cups!) apple cider, salt, garlic, herbs and spices to a boil. As you can see, we have already added to the pot the apple cider, salt and minced garlic. Next, we will be adding the herbs and spices. Here, I am adding the whole black peppercorns. You can never have enough black peppercorns, right?
Ahh. Lovely whole black peppercorns bursting with flavor. I am a confessed black peppercorn fiend.
Here I am adding the whole juniper berries which provide a distinct, sharp flavor with citrus notes. Yum! Just perfect for turkey brine.
Next, I am adding whole allspice berries to create a spectacular autumn and winter flavor for our turkey brine.
Here, I am adding the whole star anise pods. Oh, whole star anise pods…how I adore thee. Guys, these babies are essential for an outstanding turkey brine. Trust me. It is just not the same without. You'll see…I promise!
Next in, bay leaves.
And, cinnamon stick. Just 1 or 2 will do.
Look at our lovely Apple Cider & Citrus Turkey Brine with Herbs and Spices. She's looking mighty stunning, eh? So far, totally gorgeous!
Following the spices, we need to add our fresh herb sprigs. Here, I am adding the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs. Be generous as the herbs will infuse our brine with plenty of flavor.
Next up, fresh sage sprigs. Oh, how I adore the savory flavor of sage–especially when it comes to enjoying roasted turkey and stuffing. The color is pretty, too.
Just simply marvelous! Our Apple Cider & Citrus Turkey Brine with Herbs and Spices is on her way! Um…on her way to Tom Turkey, that is.
Now it is time to give our gorgeous turkey brine a little stir.
I'm telling you, just gorgeous! But, we're not done yet.
Now we need to allow the brine to come to a boil. See the little bubbles forming already? We need the heat to boiling level so that the herbs and spices will infuse flavor during the steep. Just like when you steep your favorite tea.
Here we are! She's come to a full boil now.
Next, we need to remove the pot from the heat (I have placed a wire cooling rack under the pot) and add ¾ gallon (12 cups) chilled water. The chilled water will speed up the cooling process and will prepare the brine for the addition of the citrus and onion aromatics. Alternatively, if you are in a hurry, you could use an equivalent amount of ice water with ice cubes. Chef Emeril Lagasse does that. This way, your brine will reach a cooler temperature faster so that you can begin to brine your turkey right away. The brine must be at least room temperature or cooler before brining your turkey. Cooler is best. If you are preparing your turkey brine the day before, which is what I like to do, just chill it in the fridge.
Here, I am adding the ¾ gallon (12 cups) chilled water from a large glass pitcher.
Since all of the water didn't fit into my large glass pitcher, I am adding the remaining chilled water here from a glass measuring cup.
Next, we move onto the citrus and onion aromatics which will infuse our gorgeous turkey brine even further with flavor.
Before adding each wedge of lemon or orange to the pot, be sure to give it a good squeeze. Release those tasty juices and the essential oils from those rinds, people! It is that important. These steps are why our turkey brine recipe is so exceptional and fit for brined roasted turkeys on "The King's Table". Keep going…keep squeezing and adding those citrus wedges. It will all be worth it. Trust me.
Next, add the onion wedges. As you can see, I have done that here.
Seriously. I wish there was smell-o-vision. Your house is going to smell heavenly from these kitchen aromatics!
Just stunningly beautiful! Sexy brine.
Now, time for the cooling and steeping process. Place the lid atop your stock pot and allow the brine to cool and steep. Just think of all that flavor infusion going on!
You are going to need these: Bringing Bags. For our 18-pound Tom Turkey, we will be using the largest bag. These quality Brining Bags are from Williams-Sonoma. We have received no compensation from W-S. We just dig their heavy duty brining bags.
You will also need a large roasting pan. We find that our inexpensive oval enamelware roasting pan is ideal for the turkey brining process. It has nice, high sides (to keep our turkey covered and saturated in brine), handy handles and it easily slides onto a shelf in the fridge. Don't forget to clear some space! If you need to, remove one of your drawers–like the deli meats drawer. This way, your roasting pan with turkey inside will have adequate clearance. Now, we are ready to prepare our brining bag. Assemble the Turkey & Brine into Brining Bag: Open zip-top brining bag wide and insert into enamel roasting pan with high sides. Done. Check.
In addition to brining bags and a large oval enamel roasting pan, you will need a large slotted spoon and liquid measuring cup. Since most kitchens are equipped with these implements, we did not add them to our recipe ingredients list under special equipment.
Now we are ready to prepare our brining bag for Tom Turkey. Continuing… Assemble the Turkey & Brine into Brining Bag: Using a large liquid measure (I use my 2-cup glass measure), scoop some of the brine and place it into bottom of large brining bag. Once again, I like to use my large slotted spoon to scoop up the citrus and onion wedges. As you can see, I placed some into the bottom of the brining bag. Now the brining bag is ready for Tom Turkey.
As you can see, we have added Tom Turkey to the brining bag. Next, using a slotted spoon, scoop up the aromatic solids (the citrus and onion wedges as well as some of the herbs and spices) and place over and around the turkey.
Don't forget to place some of the aromatic solids into the large cavity of your turkey. This is essential.
Next, continue to add the remaining brining liquid over the turkey in the brining bag.
Tom looks divine surrounded by all that brining goodness.
Now, step back and marvel at your cheffy self. Look at what you have accomplished. And, it was so easy. But, just wait until you smell this phenomenally brined roasted turkey as it is roasting! Your holiday dinner guests will think you are a rock star chef. Yeah.
Next, it is time to enclose Tom Turkey and get him in the fridge. First, we have to expel as much air as possible whilst closing the zip-top brining bag. This is where two (2) sets of hands come in especially handy. Gather and twist tightly the top of the bag. Important: If the brine needs more liquid to cover entire turkey, add enough of the remaining ¼ gallon (4 cups) each of the chilled cider and water in equal parts to brining bag before securing closed.
Once you have gathered and twisted the top of the brining bag, it is time to tightly clip it closed. This is important so that the brining liquid surrounds the turkey entirely. We do not use the small bag clips that come with the brining bags. Instead, we use a heavy duty clip. As mentioned in the recipe under special equipment, we like to use a Firm Grip® clip from Home Depot. But, you could use a strong cotton butcher's twine as well.
Voila! You have now successfully brined your turkey for the upcoming holiday. Pat yourself on the back. Swell job!

The Mega Millions jackpot is the second-largest ever at $425 million, which could make someone extra lucky on Friday the 13th. The bad news: you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than taking home Friday's winnings.
You also have a better chance of contracting West Nile Virus and being murdered than winning the Mega Millions jackpot.
Recent changes in the game have lowered the odds of winning, which means the pot is rolling over for increasingly bigger jackpots. The odds of winning the jackpot used to be 1 in 176 million, but those odds have changed to 1 in 259 million, thanks to changes in October that included picking six numbers from 1 to 75 instead of the previous 1 to 56. There hasn't been a single winner since Mega Millions changed the game.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Here are other events more likely to occur than you rolling in the dough:
Being murdered: You have a 1 in 18,989 chance of getting murdered, according to DiscovertheOdds.com, which curated data from the Centers for Disease Control.
Finding E.T.: Scientists say that one in five of the Sun-like stars in the Milky Way have habitable planets. That means 8.8 billion planets could be home to other life forms.
Toeing the poverty line: The odds of being poor in the U.S. are 1 in 6. That's 49.7 million people in the U.S. living in poverty, which the Census Bureau defines as an income less than $23,283 for a family of four.
Getting West Nile Virus: The odds of contracting the deadly disease is 1 in 66,592. The odds of dying from it are 1 in 1.4 million.
Being struck by lightning: Perhaps one of the most well-known statistics out there, the odds of getting struck by lightning in a given year are still 1 in a million, according to DiscovertheOdds.com. The odds could change depending on "cloud-to-ground lightning density rates, population size, indoor vs. outdoor activity setting and safety adherence," according to the website. The odds of getting struck by lightning in a lifetime, given that you live to about 80 years old, are about 1 in 3,000, according to statistics from the University of Illinois in Chicago.

Lakes and waterways in the Brecon Beacons National Park
- Enjoy serene wildlife-watching at Llangorse Lake
- Feel the energy of our rivers
- Visit our reservoirs, where engineering and nature combine
- Relax on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal
- Spot our charismatic native wildlife
Water is a living, moving part of the Brecon Beacons landscape. It shapes our hills and valleys, gives life to our flora and fauna, freshens the air and creates wide open spaces for us to enjoy.
Within our Park, we have gushing streams, 140 miles of rivers, 35 miles of canal, nine reservoirs and Wales' largest natural lake. Fed by a plentiful supply of rain, our waters are perfect for outdoor activities.
You could hire a boat, cycle along a towpath, make a wish beside a waterfall, watch birds or picnic in a lakeside meadow full of butterflies and wildflowers. Or, for something a little more full on, how about dinghy racing, windsurfing or white water kayaking? To find out more, visit our section on Things to do.
The banks of Llangorse Lake and Talybont Reservoir are lovely for a stroll and riverside spots like Craig-y-Nos Country Park, The Warren in Hay-on-Wye and Bullpit Meadows in Crickhowell are thoroughly pleasant places to relax beside the water.
Wherever you go, please help look after the National Park and its wildlife and respect other people's enjoyment too, by following the Country Code on land, and the Waterways Code on the water. For details, please visit our Be prepared section.

The reactor was shut down in 2007 as part of international nuclear disarmament talks that have since stalled.
A spokesman for the General Department of Atomic Energy said that the facilities to be restarted are a graphite-moderated 5 megawatt reactor, which generates spent fuel rods laced with plutonium and is the core of the Yongbyon nuclear complex. The reactor, when fully running, is capable of churning out one atomic bomb worth of plutonium — the most common fuel in nuclear weapons — a year.
The move will boost fears in Washington and among its allies about North Korea's push for nuclear-tipped missiles that can reach the United States, technology it is not currently believed to have.
Pyongyang conducted its third nuclear test in February, prompting U.N. sanctions that have infuriated its leaders and led to the current tensions. The country has since declared that making nuclear arms and a stronger economy are the nation's top priorities.
North Korea added the 5-megawatt, graphite-moderated reactor to its nuclear complex in 1986 after seven years of construction. The country began building a 50-megawatt and a 200 megawatt reactor in 1984, but their construction was suspended under a 1994 nuclear deal with Washington.
North Korea has long said that the reactor operation is aimed at generating electricity. It takes about 8,000 fuel rods to run the reactor. Reprocessing the spent fuel rods after a year of reactor operation could yield about 7 kilograms of plutonium — enough to make at least one nuclear bomb, experts say.

my cutting mat was warped one time, and i used a heat gun to straighten it out. don't get too close to the mat, and keep the heat gun moving. if heat made the mat warp, heat should fix it.ReplyDelete

Don't get a new mat. Just lay it back out in the sun on a flat surface like your driveway or patio.ReplyDelete
Hi, I love this little bag! I have a question about the boxed corners. I wonder if there is an error because after sewing the corners, which looks like it was down on the main/outer fabric, then next step says so turn inside out but the picture shows the same fabric, the main/outer side with corners inside. did you push them to the inside of bag after they are sewn? Or am I supposed to sew the corners with the bag turned inside out then turn right side out, corners tucked inside? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial!ReplyDelete
My bag: http://spinnwebe.info
ok so my first bag was a lil off, looks like a wristlet bag. but I love the ideal & how cute it is . when I finish my bigger version I will post pics of both. thanks !!ReplyDelete
I love this bag, Does anyone know what the finished size would be?ReplyDelete

Charles Ross, 19, is known for his antics, which are posted as videos on the Internet.
Charles Ross looked like any other fan in the stands Monday at Tropicana Field, where the Tampa Bay Rays were opening a home series against the Texas Rangers.
But all eyes turned to the Bradenton man in the top of the fifth inning when the notorious prankster stripped down into his tighty-whities and hurled himself over the visiting team's dugout.
Ross raced on to the diamond. Security guards chased after him. He tried to "steal" second base, attempting to pry the bag from the dirt. Instead, Ross was taken into custody. Again.
Ross, 19, returned to the spotlight for his pranking antics, while the Rays went on to score four runs that inning, winning the game 6-2.
Run-ins with the law are becoming common for the man who creates strange situations that are filmed by friends and later posted to his YouTube channel, RossCreations. The now-famous tighty-whities make regular appearances.
He's uploaded more than 50 videos to the channel — including his "Awkward Man" segments, "Getting in a Stranger's Car," "Sleeping on Peoples Shoulders," and other pranking compilations.
Ross's "Jumping Over A Cop" video posted in March, in which he does a flip over the head of a Sarasota County sheriff's deputy sitting on a picnic table at Siesta Key Beach, has more than 5.4 million views. He chose to wear more than just his underwear in that shot.
The video of the stunt that happened in November 2012 went viral. One deputy warned Ross he would break his "freaking neck" if he tried the flip again. Another deputy threatened to "ruin your day" and erase the video.
Ross was handcuffed and charged with culpable negligence and resisting without violence. He entered a deferred prosecution agreement.
"This person's whole intent is to create trouble and capture the incident on video," Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Wendy Rose previously told the Herald-Tribune. "Everyone, not just law enforcement officers, should be able to sit in public and not be disturbed by immature actions such as these."
In January, Ross was charged with battery for giving strangers wedgies, by pulling up the back of their pants, at a Manatee County movie theater. He and his friend filming the events were trespassed from the property.
"Charles Ross is known to go around Manatee County and create situations in order to harass and annoy people while filming it," a Manatee County sheriff's deputy wrote in Ross's arrest report.
Ross was given six months probation in the case, but it was terminated after just three months, court records show.
Manatee County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dave Bristow said deputies are aware of Ross' pranks, though he has only be arrested once in their jurisdiction.
"He's got several claims to fame and now he's got another one," Bristow said.
Ross, charged with resisting a merchant, trespassing and disorderly conduct, was released from the Pinellas County jail Tuesday afternoon.

Reading Basics
Teaching reading is a hugely complicated task. So much so that researcher Louisa Moats ended up entitling her influential article "Teaching Reading IS Rocket Science." (This, incidentally, also became the basis for the Reading Rockets name!)
To strengthen your skills in teaching reading and writing, you may want to try our self-paced online course, Reading 101: A Guide to Teaching Reading and Writing
Print Awareness
Children who have an awareness of print understand that the squiggly lines on a page represent spoken language.
Sounds of Speech
To understand a spoken language, a child must be able to hear and distinguish the sounds that make up the language.
Phonemic Awareness
Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds in spoken words.
Phonics and Decoding
Children's reading development is dependent on their understanding of the alphabetic principle – the idea that letters and letter patterns represent the sounds of spoken language.
Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately, quickly, and with expression. Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension.
Vocabulary plays an important part in learning to read. Beginning readers must use the words they hear orally to make sense of the words they see in print.
Learning to spell is built on a child's understanding that words are made up of separate speech sounds (phonemes) and that letters represent those sounds.
Comprehension is the reason for reading. Good readers think actively as they read. They use their experiences and knowledge of the world, vocabulary, language structure, and reading strategies to make sense of the text.
A child's writing development parallels their development as a reader. Writing is a complex task that balances purpose, audience, ideas and organization with the mechanics of writing (sentence structure, word choice, spelling).
Informal Assessment
Regular informal assessments throughout the school year provides useful information that can help teachers to identify the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student.
Who's at Risk?
Some kids have a disability that makes reading difficult to learn. Others come to school without the literacy experiences they need to become readers. Some children struggle because they've received poor or inadequate reading instruction. The more risk factors a child has, the more likely it is that he or she will encounter reading problems.
What Else Matters in Teaching Reading
In addition to an excellent reading curriculum, these factors play a critical role in helping students become strong readers: a teacher's skill with classroom management, differentiated instruction, working with the students' parents, and other interventions to help struggling readers.
