Almond Cheese
Fermentation Stage – Beginner… Since I've been going on about how home made Almond milk is so much nicer than store bought, I've also been asked what to do with the Almond pulp and the answer is of course… MAKE CHEESE! It's a great dairy free alternative and you can add pretty much anything to it. If you want a richer cheese and don't want to make milk then use the whole almonds, but as far as I am concerned the cheese is a by product of something else. If you're going to dehydrate it afterwards...read more
Home Made Almond Milk
So Easy, so delicious! Having tasted store bought I was not really taken with Almond Milk – a bit powdery and a bit erm – bland? BUT – Make it yourself and you can choose the consistency and the 'creaminess' and now I know what all the fuss is about. Not only is it LUSH, I will happily drink a glass of this as a milk substitute without wondering why healthy stuff after all these decades still doesn't taste much better or has tonnes of sugar in. How to make Almond Milk 1. Soak Almonds over night in filtered...read more
Japanese Vegetable Spiralizer /Spiral Slicer
As a person that gets very bored of vegetables 'straight up', I decided to have a look around to see how I could make things a little more interesting. Apparently all you need are some specialist slicers for making vegetables into noodles so let's give it a go. After reading many reviews and watching YouTube videos – I decided to cut out the middle men and just go straight to the exotic vegetable art and noodle capital of the world – Japan. Having already purchased a supersize Benriner Mandoline Slicer a while...read more
Eating Raw – Changes I have noticed in 2 weeks
I've been eating probably 90% raw food for the last two weeks a minimising dairy to a small amount of yoghurt in my smoothies and milk in my tea… well I am British! Given that 'mostly raw' is a club that I used to be part of and I've always had a super juicer, the transition has not been difficult at all – but I have not cut out dairy or gluten before for longer than 4 weeks. If anything I am still excited by new tastes and ways to do things in the kitchen so it's actually been a lot of fun (even...read more
Cashew Cream vs Dairy Cream
When it comes to going dairy free, the things I would struggle with giving up most are a nice tall glass of milk, cheese, creamy sauce on pasta or steak (sorry!), or a nice cholesterol laden dollop of cream on my dessert, so I thought it was time that I tried to make some dairy alternatives to all of the above that also satisfies my need for gourmet… So this week I am going to attempt some Cashew Cream then use it in some cooked (hot) and raw (cold) dishes to see how it fares with regards to taste, texture, creaminess and nutritional...read more
Carrot Chips
I can juice my way through carrots no problem but ask me to eat the actual vegetable and I struggle past one or two which is a shame as they as so good for you. When you juice you lose some of the goodness as pulp and I have to admit that I didn't really like total juice carrots and I get totally bored with grated carrot unless it's hidden in coleslaw so I thought I should find ways to eat more vegetables when I get stuck in to work and ways to waste less of the vegetables juicing. I love roasted carrots and love baked vegetable...read more
Dehydrated Cabbage Crisps
Sounds disgusting but actually isn't! As part of my raw cabbage soup diet experiment I thought I'd try all the ingredients separately first then see if I can make it taste a bit nicer using the dehydrator. First – try the cabbage crisps straight up – and although not everyones cup of tea – actually pretty tasty, peppery and not hard to eat – unlike the same volume in cabbage! Will have a go at some toppings and sizes to see if I can get some cabbage nacho thing going on In the dehydrator at 125 overnight...read more
HomeMade Raisins
This Dehydrator lark is pretty amazing and today I discovered the joy of homemade raisins. turning simple seedless black grapes into the most amazing dried grape sweets. It took absolutely aaaaaaaages partly because I didn't dip them in boiling water for 90 seconds in my keen-ness to just get them in the Excalibur. How To Make Dried Raisins Wash, put on Excalibur shelves and dehydrate on the highest setting for 24 hours (155 on mine) to stop them from souring while they dry then switch down to 125 and leave for another 24 hours. They...read more
Dehydrated Strawberry Sweets
OMG dehydrated strawberries are like SWEETS. I just can't get enough of them. Originally they were to go on my porridge and cereal but I am now obsessed with finding the knock down organic strawbs in season and drying them for daytime snacks. So tasty, so sweet, and if you don't dry them completely and keep them whole or half you can eat them like wine gums! I put them in the dehydrator for8 hours (overnight) on...read more
Raw Powder Power
I still cannot get over how amazing it is to have a dehydrator. The first thing I thought of was making vegetable chips (Kale & Parsnip please!), then how to make them more tasty. The same way they make regular chips tasty, salt, pepper & Seasoning. What makes seasoning? Vegetable powder! Check any pack of crisps or chips and they use onion powder, garlic powder, celery powder, yeast extract, paprika, dried red pepper, dried chilli, dried yoghurt, dried lemon, dried chives and a host of other things, so I thought – ok powder not...read more

You may remember my interviews with Sandy Petersen a few episodes back. In case you missed them, here's what you need to know: This is the guy that did the Cthulhu games for Chaosium back in 1981--pen and paper games that are still being enjoyed today. Now he's back with a Kickstarter project called Cthulhu World Combat, a turn-based strategy game based on H.P. Lovecraft's twisted mindscapes.
Inspired by some truly classic turn-based strategy games like Empire, Civilization, and Heroes of Might & Magic (the holy trinity as far as I'm concerned), there's real potential here for something quite playable. Sandy seems to be gearing this towards casual gamers and playing with your friends. The turn-based nature of it makes it possible to have several different games going at once with multiple friends; that's neat. He claims its more like Advance Wars than anything else.
For Sandy's base goal of 300K, he's only making iOS and Android versions; we'll need to get it up to a 700K stretch goal before we get versions for PC, Mac, and Xbox Live.
The graphic style is not what I would have expected at all, though--it's actually quite cartoony; no danger of nightmares here! It's too early to say what effect this will have on the audience, but I'm really shocked he didn't go for something dark and sinister like his 1981 game. At any rate, it's definitely worth looking into if you're into H.P. Lovecraft and have an iPad or iPhone. Even if you're not, Sandy is a brilliant designer who seems to work best when he's not being restrained by publishers!
Okay, off now to pledge. It's only $10 for the digital download!

The EJB container of the GlassFish Server pools anonymous instances (message-driven beans, stateless session beans, and entity beans) to reduce the overhead of creating and destroying objects. The EJB container maintains the free pool for each bean that is deployed. Bean instances in the free pool have no identity (that is, no primary key associated) and are used to serve method calls. The free beans are also used to serve all methods for stateless session beans.
Bean instances in the free pool transition from a Pooled state to a Cached state after ejbCreate and the business methods run. The size and behavior of each pool is controlled using pool-related properties in the EJB container or the sun-ejb-jar.xml file.
In addition, the GlassFish Server supports a number of tunable parameters that can control the number of "stateful" instances (stateful session beans and entity beans) cached as well as the duration they are cached. Multiple bean instances that refer to the same database row in a table can be cached. The EJB container maintains a cache for each bean that is deployed.
To achieve scalability, the container selectively evicts some bean instances from the cache, usually when cache overflows. These evicted bean instances return to the free bean pool. The size and behavior of each cache can be controlled using the cache-related properties in the EJB container or the sun-ejb-jar.xml file.
Pooling and caching parameters for the sun-ejb-jar.xml file are described in bean-cache in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Application Deployment Guide.
One of the most important parameters of GlassFish Server pooling is steady-pool-size. When steady-pool-size is set to greater than 0, the container not only pre-populates the bean pool with the specified number of beans, but also attempts to ensure that this number of beans is always available in the free pool. This ensures that there are enough beans in the ready to serve state to process user requests.
This parameter does not necessarily guarantee that no more than steady-pool-size instances exist at a given time. It only governs the number of instances that are pooled over a long period of time. For example, suppose an idle stateless session container has a fully-populated pool with a steady-pool-size of 10. If 20 concurrent requests arrive for the EJB component, the container creates 10 additional instances to satisfy the burst of requests. The advantage of this is that it prevents the container from blocking any of the incoming requests. However, if the activity dies down to 10 or fewer concurrent requests, the additional 10 instances are discarded.
Another parameter, pool-idle-timeout-in-seconds, allows the administrator to specify the amount of time a bean instance can be idle in the pool. When pool-idle-timeout-in-seconds is set to greater than 0, the container removes or destroys any bean instance that is idle for this specified duration.
GlassFish Server provides a way that completely avoids caching of entity beans, using commit option C. Commit option C is particularly useful if beans are accessed in large number but very rarely reused. For additional information, refer to Commit Options.
The GlassFish Server caches can be either bounded or unbounded. Bounded caches have limits on the number of beans that they can hold beyond which beans are passivated. For stateful session beans, there are three ways (LRU, NRU and FIFO) of picking victim beans when cache overflow occurs. Caches can also passivate beans that are idle (not accessed for a specified duration).

HARRISBURG, Pa. – The PA Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC) gave an additional $100,000 research grant to Dr. Craig Meyers and his team at Penn State College of Medicine today. The announcement came at the 2011 PA Breast Cancer Coalition Conference held at the Hilton Harrisburg attended by over 1,000 people. This grant marks the single-largest research contribution made by the PBCC in its 18-year history and it follows a 2007 PBCC Pennsylvania Income Tax Refund for Research grant of $35,000 to Dr. Meyers.
Through this PBCC funded research, Dr. Meyers discovered that adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) kills breast cancer cells in every stage in the laboratory in tissue culture dishes. AAV2 is a nondisease-causing virus that kills human breast cancer cells and often infects humans. Preliminary research using AAV2 to treat breast cancer cells in a mouse model has also yielded promising results but needs further study.
"I've been working with this significant nondisease-causing virus that kills human breast cancer cells in the laboratory because we know that breast cancer has a complex structure and differing types," said Dr. Craig Meyers, professor of microbiology and immunology at Penn State College of Medicine.
Referring to these exciting new findings as, "what, for decades, the medical community has worked towards and the rest of the world has been waiting for," Pat Halpin-Murphy, president and founder of the PBCC said that her pioneering organization is thrilled to be part of Dr. Meyers'discovery of a virus that kills all stages and all types of breast cancer cells in the laboratory.
"Breast cancer survivors, their families, and all girls and women and those that care for them look forward to the final phase of this research–clinical trials with humans. While that final step may still be years away, it gives us hope that we will discover a cure so our daughters and granddaughters won't have to. Dr. Meyers' break-through is a real-world example that research is our best weapon in battling breast cancer," added Halpin-Murphy.
Halpin-Murphy went on to say that "each day, 32 women in Pennsylvania are diagnosed with breast cancer and over 2,000 die every year from the devastating disease."
"We are extremely grateful to the Coalition for their generous support of Dr. Meyers' research," said Richard J. Courtney, Ph.D., chair, Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Penn State College of Medicine. "The recent findings of his research group are very exciting; however, much additional research remains to be done. This grant will be instrumental in helping Dr. Meyers and his colleagues to further advance this highly promising breast cancer research ongoing within his laboratory."
The PBCC established and oversees the Refunds for Breast Cancer Research program, which uses donations from Pennsylvanians to fund vital research grants across the state. State residents may contribute all or part of their state income tax refund to the Refunds for Research program to help find a cure. To date, Pennsylvanians have donated over $2.8 million with the average donation from taxpayers being $8. Thanks to the PBCC's program, nearly 70 research grants have been awarded to outstanding Pennsylvania scientists.
The PBCC represents, supports and serves breast cancer survivors and their families in Pennsylvania through educational programming, legislative advocacy and breast cancer research grants. The PBCC is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure now…so our daughters and granddaughters won't have to. For more information, visit www.PABreastCancer.org or call 800-377-8828.

Hello, me and a friend are making an RPG with PocketC, and I was doing a few tests. I tried to use @bmp to load a bitmap, and came up with the error "Invalid bmp depth", even though I KNOW they were both 8 bit color. What's the problem?
Oh, by the way, I'm using the demo version, because I haven't had time to buy the full version (yes I'm going to). I dunno if this is the problem or not.

Curator's comments
The most famous Japanese print and one of the most famous graphic images in the world. The witty composition, whereby the highest mountain in Japan is apparently dwarfed by the 'Great Wave', marks a highpoint in Hokusai's creative processing of lessons of deep spatial perspective that ultimately derive from European art. Perhaps for this reason the print came very quickly to be celebrated among French collectors and artists, beginning in the late 1870s. Debussy's 'La Mer' is said to have been inspired by it. Many of the greatest impressions of the print that then found their way to Paris are now scattered in major museum collections, particularly in USA and back in Japan. Since the later twentieth century the image has taken on international iconic status, widely adopted and adapted in advertising and popular culture.
This is an early and fine impression, on thick paper. There is a particularly beautiful woodgrain pattern in the dark sky either side of Mt. Fuji that seems to be unique among surviving impressions. Many hundreds of impressions of the print have survived - attesting to its original popularity. However, study to date suggests that this is probably one of the top twenty or so surviving impressions now known in the world.

(Timothy Clark)This image of a great wave about to crash down with a view of Mount Fuji in the distance is one of the most famous and widely reproduced Japanese prints. Printmaking has a long history in Japan and although Hokusai's image dates from the nineteenth century, it reflects centuries of development of the process.
Hokusai was one of the leading painters and print artists of the nineteenth century, specialising in ukiyo-e images - meaning 'pictures of the floating world'. These images were extremely popular from the late seventeenth to early twentieth centuries, and depict a beautiful and transient world, with subjects ranging from scenes of courtesans to portraits of actors. Hokusai introduced landscapes to the genre and the 'Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji' series, from which this print is taken, was the first series made up exclusively of landscapes. He studied many styles of art in the city of Edo (modern Tokyo) in the late eighteenth century to develop his own particular idiom, at a time when aspects of European art, such as spatial recession, were being more widely used in Japanese print-making. A wider variety of colours were also increasingly available.
A common practice in Japanese artistic circles was for artists to take different names which often corresponded to different phases of style or subject-matter in their careers. Hokusai took over thirty artist names during his long career. One of his names was 'Gakyojin' which translates as 'person mad with painting' which accurately reflects his prolific output.
The 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' series from which this print is taken, was made in his 'Iitsu' period, and were published from about 1829 to 1833, in his late sixties and early seventies. Mount Fuji is the highest and most famous mountain in Japan and its elegant shape and monumental form has inspired religious and cultural veneration for centuries. In the series, the mountain is depicted from various viewpoints, in different weather conditions and compositions - sometimes dominating the image, other times, such as this, as a small but significant feature.
In this dramatic scene, Hokusai captures the moment just before a huge wave is about the crash down onto struggling boats beneath. These were rowed at great speed to transport fresh fish to market in Edo. The potential destruction and action of the scene in the foreground contrasts with the serene stillness of the snow-clad mountain in the distance. The claw-like froth on the wave appears menacing but the composition has been wittily arranged so that its foam seems almost to fall as snow onto the summit of the distant mountain. The immediacy of the scene creates a sense of looming catastrophe as the viewer imagines the subsequent moment as the wave crashes down. Movement is accentuated by the swirling curves of the smaller waves and the boats. The elemental power of the sea is expressed vividly in this dynamic image.
Designs such as this were carved into a set of cherry wood printing blocks and each design typically required five or six blocks (carved on both sides) to create the final print. Although Hokusai designed the image, the blocks were made in the workshop of a master carver, commissioned by the publisher. The blocks were then transferred to another specialist workshop for printing. The intricate detail of the waves and the foam would have taken considerable skill to carve. Compared with many of Hokusai's other prints, this image required relatively few blocks: three for each of the different shades of blue in the water; yellow for the sides of the boats; black in the lower sky section; pale grey on the sides of the boats and on the remainder of the sky; and pink on the clouds - only faintly visible in most impressions of the print. From the wear on the blocks of the latest impressions, it is clear that several thousand prints were made - the publisher, Nishimuraya Eijudo, simply produced as many as he could sell. Indeed, the series proved so popular that an additional ten view were added, at which time the colour of the outlines for all the designs was changed from blue to black. This is a particularly fine, early impression, with the lines still sharp and clear and a unusual woodgrain pattern visible in the black sky either side of Mt. Fuji.
The strong blue colour in the image is the chemical pigment Berlin (or Prussian) blue which at this time became readily and cheaply available to Japanese publishers from China. Unlike earlier natural blue pigments (indigo and dayflower) it did not fade, permitting the colour to be used with much greater intensity.
(Start magazine, Dec 2009)Clark 2017
The 'Great Wave' dwarfs Mt Fuji. Spray falls from the
tentacles of the wave like snow on to the peak. The
whole picture is orchestrated to pay homage to the
steadfastness of the sacred mountain. Three swift boats
(oshiokuri), delivering fish to market in Edo, head
directly into a great storm wave out at sea off
Kanagawa. The oarsmen crouch forwards, ready to
battle heroically with the elemental power of the
ocean. Hokusai had rehearsed the wave several times
in his thirties and forties, when he was absorbing the
lessons of European-style perspective (cats 18, 19). To
this was added, in his old age, a veneration of Mt Fuji
as a talisman of longevity. The design may already
have been drawn in the early 1820s (see cat. 00). Then,
later in the decade, Prussian blue became available in
large quantities from China, providing a wonderfully
vibrant new pigment for sky and sea to add to the
traditional indigo. The series, of which this is the most
famous print, was one significant result. Over the years,
as many as 8,000 impressions of each design were
printed. For little more than the price of a doublehelping
of noodles, anyone in Edo could purchase their
own impression of 'The Great Wave'.

Lt. Governor Simon: Target Asian carp in Illinois waterways
Invasive species eradication options presented at River Council meeting
CHAMPAIGN, IL – Environmental and watershed leaders joined Lt. Governor Sheila Simon today in discussing opportunities to eradicate Asian carp levels in Illinois waterways. The state of Illinois is working to develop innovative solutions to stop invasive species, which threaten the lakes and rivers of Illinois and fish native to our state. Recently, the fish have been harvested and processed for high-protein meals, which is one of many ideas for controlling the population.
"In order for the fish native to our region to survive, we must act now to stop the spread of Asian carp,†said Simon, the chair of the state's river coordinating councils. "Together with researchers from across the state, private organizations and Illinois agencies, we have many viable solutions to stop its spread and market it in a productive way.â€
James Garvey, director of the Fisheries and Illinois Aquaculture Center at SIU Carbondale, presented on his recently released report, "Fishing Down the Bighead and Silver Carps: Reducing the Risk of Invasion to the Great Lakes.†Through his research along the Illinois River, Garvey has found that Asian carp make up about 63 percent of all fish biomass in the river, and nearly all of the fish greater than 16 inches in length are Asian carp.
"Asian carp are now the dominant fish species in most major Illinois waterways,†Garvey said. "Because these fish are high in protein and have a similar fish oil composition of marine fish, they are an ideal food source. We are exploring whether harvest is a feasible method for controlling these species while simultaneously benefitting the consumers and fishing industry of Illinois.â€
State agencies and private industries are already partnering to control the population of Asian carp and prevent its spread into Lake Michigan and other waterways. Through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' "Target Hunger Now!†campaign, more than 2,000 Asian carp meals have been provided to needy families over two years. Under this program, jobs are created to harvest the fish, needy families have access to protein-rich nourishment, and the species' invasion is limited.
"The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has been helping lead efforts to protect the Great Lakes from this aquatic invasive species with innovative programs like 'Target Hunger Now!' The efforts of the department to remove, track and monitor Asian carp movements in Illinois waters has been a massive undertaking but one that is necessary to protect our environment here and throughout the Great Lakes Basin,†said IDNR Director Marc Miller.
Through public-private partnerships, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is working to find economic solutions to bring the Asian carp population in Illinois under control. A 2010 agreement inked by Governor Quinn will help support Big River Fisheries plans to harvest and deliver an estimated 30 million pounds of carp to a Chinese meat processing plant for packaging and shipping to international markets, addressing the fish's progression while also supporting Illinois' exports. The Pearl, Illinois company will invest $1.5 million and is expecting to create 61 jobs.
Earlier this year, DCEO announced approximately $1.9 million in federal IKE disaster recovery funds to develop an Asian carp processing plant in Grafton. The funding will consist of a $1.4 million loan to assist Heartland Fish Products LLC in purchasing equipment and a $532,725 grant to the City of Grafton for infrastructure improvements to support their operation. Operations at the facility could begin as early as this month; the project is expected to create 36 full-time jobs.
Simon's three River Coordinating Councils review state and federal programs that impact Illinois watersheds and work with local communities to raise awareness of and address watershed issues. The River Coordinating Councils meet quarterly around the state to engage the public and encourage working partnerships to address watershed issues.

I received this today & it's a good 'un!
The first thing you'll notice is that it's a 'copy' of the Cold Steel Trail Master Bowie, but at £25 a hell of a lot cheaper.
Now you may think this is a bad thing, but this is a well made knife, it's 14 3/4" overall with a 9" blade & 1/4" thick spine, heavy duty cross-guard & a very secure rubber grip with lanyard hole, all finished in a textured non-reflective coating, (Teflon maybe?).
It's not that heavy for it's size, my Dundee Bowie is much heavier, and the Point of Balance is about an inch from the Guard, making it well balanced.
Some people will use para-cord through the lanyard hole for security of grip, but I'm not sure it's needed, the textured rubber feels very secure to me, I'd have to really be swinging it about with oil covered hands for it to even have a chance of slipping I.M.O.!
It's made from 440A, but before I decided on buying it I looked at a few YouTube vids, apart from one vid in which the blade had snapped off at the cross-guard, the rest of them were all very positive, although if you do look any up yourself use the MTech MT 151 designation, my personal favourite is titled 'MT-151 vs, red brick'.
Just a quick note on the sheath, it's the usual cordura with a Velcro fastener, nothing special, but it is 'ambidextrous', the knife fits snugly for left or right handed drawing, take note all you south-paws!
For those of us on a budget who want one of the more expensive knives, I'd definitely look at the cheaper alternatives, you'd be surprised how good some of them are, MTech are well known for 'cloning' the big boys & I think they do a bang-up job.

All-in-one computers have a great space-saving profile for businesses and regular home users. When configured with WiFi and wireless keyboard/mouse, the only cable is the power cable, making for an uncluttered and unimposing look. Not at all a stranger to the AIO market, HP has introduced its Compaq Elite 8300 AIO system. Let's take a closer look.
Physical Layout
Many AIOs tend to look the same. What distinguishes this AIO is the adjustability and heft of its base. Height and tilt angle are all highly adjustable, and the base seems to be well-designed to keep the computer's center of gravity firmly over the stand - it would take some serious jarring to knock this puppy over.
The system has a very clean look, and the base can be removed in order to mount the system to another VESA format monitor support system. The front of the system features a matte black bezel with a silver trim line across the bottom. At the far right of the trim is a pale blue LED power indicator, which also indicates the position of the power button tucked around the corner on the side of the system.
The built-in webcam has a physical shutter that can be closed by a sliding control at the top of the monitor, ensuring visual security for those uncomfortable with the idea of a camera pointed at them all day. The included wireless keyboard and mouse were comfortable and give solid tactile feedback. The keyboard includes a function key to allow you to adjust things like speaker volume, access media playback controls, and sleep the system right from the keyboard.

Top fork is as removed. Kawasaki Ninja 650R (ER-6F) & ER-6N Resource Before removing the fork from the clamps on the yokes I loosened the fork top. Before removing the fork top the fork-slider was placed in a vice and the bottom bolt loosened….. … before finally being removed with the fork upside down. Because the springs were still in situ this gave sufficient tension on the damper-rod to prevent it from turning and allow the bolt to be removed. When I turned the fork the right-way up to remove the fork-top I did it over a container to catch the oil. Kawasaki Ninja 650R (ER-6F) & ER-6N Resource All the OE components that will no longer be required. Left to right. Fork-top, spacer tube, washer, spring, damper-rod. Bottom bolts get re-used. Old and new, laid-out for comparison. The damper unit, minus spring and fork-top, drops inside the stanchion and slider. Kawasaki Ninja 650R (ER-6F) & ER-6N Resource Then the bolt goes back in, as tight as possible, to secure it. Top fork is done, second one awaits. Note the spring seat on the right, just below the spring. This drops over the damping rod after the oil has been added. The small locking-nut screws over the threaded part of the damping-rod next, all the way to the bottom. Spring drops in and then the fork-top screws on to the damping-rod as well, all the way down to the lock-nut which is used to secure it. At this point the stanchion is extended to the fork-top which is screwed in. Job done.

To solve this problem, we designed the seed keeper, the ultimate seed saving device. First, it is all neatly contained in an attractive binder that fits on a bookshelf. Second, it has unique plastic sleeves with zip locks to keep moisture out and the seeds in (so they won't be lost even if they do rattle out of the envelopes). Third, it comes with a pack of envelopes (self-sealing and reusable) to save your own seeds or to repackage those from other sources.There are headings on the envelopes to record all the pertinent information. And finally, we include a useful information sheet that tells you just about everything you ever need to know about saving seeds.
Measures 9" x 14-1/2" x 2-1/2". The binder comes with six plastic sleeves (enough to hold 36 seed envelopes), 20 envelopes, and the seed information sheet. Each seed keeper can hold up to 30 plastic sleeves (180 seed packages), depending on the size of the seeds.
Bound to be one of your most appreciated gardening items.
Made in Canada.

SHANGHAI - UCLA Anderson has been victorious in yet another competition, with the team of Julia Zhu (M.D., Ph.D., MBA '09), Chris Bishop (MBA'09) and Alex Nouel (MBA'08) winning the grand prize in this week's CEIBS (China Europe International Business School's) innovateCHINA Global Innovation Challenge. The team received RMB 15,000. They also took home a first round prize of RMB 15,000.
The team came up with the best plan for how EVOC Intelligent Technology Co. Ltd, could spend 100 million RMB on an innovative and sustainable CSR project that reflects the company's values and capitalizes on its core competencies. They had 48 hours to do the job.
The teams pitched their ideas then faced tough questions from the panel of judges and experts. The UCLA Anderson team's plan focused on alleviating the shortcomings in China's underdeveloped non-profit organisation (NPO) sector by developing a mechanism to multiply the effect of the 100 million RMB EVOC Foundation fund for maximum social, economic and environmental benefit. They proposed the development of the EVOC Institute to train managers of NPOs, complemented by the EVOC Grant that would provide support to EVOC alumni after they completed the one- to two-week course. Judges noted that the overriding factor that gave UCLA's team the edge was the sheer impact their proposal would have.
The final round featured seven teams selected from 82 entries that represented the world's leading business schools including Harvard, London Business School, MIT Sloan and INSEAD. Top Asian schools such as Tsinghua SEM, Fudan IMBA, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University MBA were also represented.

Dish with Diana and the Revival of Hippolytus
Nicola di Gabriele Sbraghe, called Nicola da Urbino, Italian (active Urbino), recorded 1520, died 1537/38

This dish comes from a famous service of tin-glazed ceramics decorated by the great maiolica painter Nicola di Gabriele Sbraghe, called Nicola da Urbino. The set was likely made as a present for Isabella d'Este, marchioness of Mantua, from her daughter and son-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Urbino. Many of the surviving pieces from the set bear stories from Ancient Roman mythology: the identification of scenes on some dishes has, however, been debated.
Based on recent research, the most convincing interpretation for this object is that it shows a scene from the story of the youth Hippolytus. Hippolytus was a devotee of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt--he was exiled by his father, Theseus, after his stepmother made false accusations against him. As he was leaving, Hippolytus was killed when his frightened horses threw him from his chariot. Diana and Paeon (also identified with Aesculapius, god of medicine) took pity on Hippolytus and brought him back to life. The image on the plate shows the goddess Diana ordering Paeon to resurrect Hippolytus. The story is told in two of the major sources for mythology used by Italian Renaissance artists and patrons: Ovid's Metamorphoses and Virgil's Aeneid. In Virgil's version of the story, Paeon is punished for reviving Hippolytus, which may explain the actions of the old man in this image; he raises his palm, apparently in resistance.
The maiolica service of which this dish is part does not seem to have an overarching program, although the imagery and quality of these pieces does reflect the sophisticated tastes and erudite interests of great patrons of Italian Renaissance art, like Isabella d'Este. The subjects identified on surviving pieces come mostly from Roman mythology, with the majority of the stories from Ovid, while some others take their subjects from the Bible or ancient history. Another piece from the service, in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, shows the beginning of the story of Hippolytus. The Victoria and Albert plate and the one in the Philadelphia Museum of Art provide a rare example of a narrative being split over two dishes within a single maiolica service.

Women Seeking Refuge
If, like me, you're sometimes a bit too reliant on the mainstream media to spoon-feed you world news – then this month's World Refugee Day may have passed you by without so much as a "How d'you do?" (It was on June 20th, BTW, so we'll know for next year!)
I was thankful, then, to receive an email from One World Action about their Women Seeking Refuge campaign. With this campaign the charity is aiming to bring attention to the plight of women and children who experience violence and abuse in the refugee camps of northwestern Tanzania;
Over the past five decades, the Great Lakes region, which includes Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republis of Congo (DRC) and Uganda, have been swept by brutal conflicts which have caused the deaths of millions and forced many more to leave their countries in order to survive. For more than thirty years, Tanzania has been hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees who have fled the most brutal atrocities.
Over 90,000 refugees remain in two camps in northwestern Tanzania. Despite fleeing the violence of their homelands, many refugee women have been met by a similar threats in the refugee camps, including rape, forced marriage, domestic violence and psychological abuse. The camps themselves have come under the close scruitany of the international community due to frequent abuses of refugees' rights and many refugees face forced repatriation back to the homeland from which they fled.
One World Action works with the Women's Legal Aid Centre to help refugees claim their rights and access justice.
To learn a little more about the campaign, take a look at One World Action's video, below. You can also share the campaign with friends via the One World Action webpage.By: Sarah Barnes, 26.06.2010 | Comments (0)

Fayette's 1995 basketball team was a good one, when the boys made it all the way into the regional finals. The Eagles were one game away from Columbus when they lost to the eventual state champions.
They'll see if they still have what it takes this Saturday when several members of the 1995 team take on an alumni squad of players who graduated later.
That clash is the second of two contests. First, at 6 p.m., a team of alumni who now serve as coaches will face the older squad—those from 1992 and earlier.
The two alumni games will serve as a fund-raiser for the Class of 2011. A 50/50 drawing will be included that night.
COACHES: Rodney Kessler, 1981; Paul Keefer, 1985; Todd Mitchell, 1986; Matt Maginn, 1988; Brian Keefer, 1989; Ryan Colegrove, 1991; Matt Schaffner, 1992; Bryan Stambaugh, 1998; Andy Van Zile, 2002; and special guest coach, Sarah Bird, 2004.
PRE-1995: Dennis Miller, 1981; Butch Griffiths, 1984; Kirk Keiser, 1987; Dan Seiler, 1988; Doug Lichtenwald, 1990; Chad Wagner, 1992; Mike Maginn, 1993; and special guest, Paula Stambaugh, 2006.
1995 TEAM: Troy Langenderfer, 1995; Lewis Grant, 1995; Spencer Lester, 1995; Mike Burkholder, 1995; Andy Lichtenwald, 1995; Mike Repp, 1995; Rodney Bingman, 1996; Aaron Brehm, 1996; Eric Lichtenwald, 1996; Jasen Schaffner, 1996; and Brent Brehm, 1997.
POST-1995: Marc Brubaker, 1998; D.J. Kunkle, 1999; Eric Creighton, 2000; Brandon Canfield, 2000; Josh Rodriguez, 2001; Timo Salinas, 2001; Michael Bird, 2003; Nick Lavinder, 2004; and Justin Rodriguez, 2005.

In the service: Pawcatuck resident and Killingly High School Assistant Principal Mike Devine, 64, enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1969 at age 19. �I got sick and tired of waiting for my draft number to drop,� he said. After basic training and infantry school, Devine was assigned to the 1st Air Calvary Division and shipped to Vietnam. His unit was stationed west of Saigon, near the Ho Chi Minh trail. Devine and his fellow soldiers routinely air assaulted from helicopters into the jungle, spending 30 days at a time laying ambushes and conducting search-and-destroy patrols. Once enemy troops were spotted, Devine�s company was flown into clearings and dropped into rice paddies or other open spots. The men cleared bunkers and complexes, slept in foxholes and watched and responded to enemy activity through platoon-sized patrols. Devine was initially charged with manning a .60-caliber machine gun, and then a buckshot-loaded grenade launcher. He was later the platoon�s radio operator, a job he also did at the company and battalion level. For his work, Devine was awarded the Bronze Star, for valor in the face of the enemy. He also was awarded two Army Commendation Medals and an Air Medal for conducting 25 air assaults.
After the service: After being honorably discharged as a sergeant in 1970, Devine lived in the Vermont mountains for a time before enrolling at UConn�s Avery Point campus. After a few semesters, Devine embarked on a tour of Europe and the Middle East. �I had $1,000 and spent six months in Third World countries, working to settle my mind,� he said. �I trekked through Calcutta, India, Nepal and the Himalayas.� Soon after, Devine, married and looking for a �more cerebral� experience, enrolled at Mohegan Community College and transferred to UConn and then Central Connecticut State University, where he earned his bachelor�s and master�s degrees. Devine taught for 10 years and then earned his six-year certification in administration. In 2004, he was hired as Killingly High School�s assistant principal.
Quote: �I�m very proud of my time in the service and look back on it fondly. It gave me a clearer perspective on the geopolitical realities at a time when Marxist expansion was on the rise in that part of the globe. Even though Vietnam might not be seen as a clear-cut victory, the fact that we went and bellied up is important. Compared to a lot of schools in the Eastern Connecticut Conference, Killingly has a high percentage of students go into the military � they provide a huge contribution. I have kids that come into my office, where I have my medals and replica of a Huey helicopter, and they get very interested.�

CLARESHOLM, Alta. - Three people were killed in southern Alberta and a fourth person was in hospital clinging to life in what RCMP are calling a murder-suicide.
Mounties were called out early Thursday morning after residents of Claresholm, south of Calgary, reported hearing gunshots.
Officers found a car and an SUV on the side of Highway 2 and four people, all in their early 20s.
"Right now it appears that this has been the suicide of a male individual, the murder of two other persons by that person, and the injury by gunshot of a fourth person," said Sgt. Patrick Webb.
"Our members are on scene trying to exactly establish what happened."
Webb said police found the bodies of a man and a woman about a kilometre north of town. They also found a man and a woman with serious gunshot injuries.
The man was taken to a Calgary hospital and later died of his wounds, but the woman was expected to recover.
Police say they believe the man who was found dead at the crime scene just north of the town shot the other three people before turning the gun on himself.
Brent Chimko, who lives in the Claresholm area, said people in the community were abuzz about the violence.
"It is pretty shocking," Chimko told Global TV. "I have never seen anything like this. I have seen traffic accidents on the highway that have been bad, but nothing quite like this."
Part of Highway 2 north of Claresholm was expected to remain closed until late Thursday to allow homicide officers to scour the crime scene for clues.
Webb said police have no motive for the deaths.
The identities of the three dead and one wounded woman were not released.

She's of the girl variety and completely awesome even though she was up from 1am – 4:30am last night. *sigh* Look at that face! Yes, you may have a pony….
Other than that completely consuming pastime, I've been ramping up my freelance work and, well, that's pretty much all the time I have. I have missed cheesemaking, though. So, when a publisher offered to send a book to review with recipes, I said, "yes, please!"

One of the criticisms levelled at Adobe Flash Player has been its lack of compatibility with 64-bit browsers. Fire up Internet Explorer 64-bit, for example, and you'll be unable to access YouTube content, or indeed any other Flash-based content – until now.
This preview version of Adobe Flash Player – codenamed "Square" – introduces a dedicated 64-bit plugin for Mac, Windows and Linux users to sit alongside the existing 32-bit version (also available as a preview version). Because it's still in beta you may encounter glitches and problems with it, although the core functionality should work okay. You should also notice some performance improvements – the 64-bit version makes less use of your computer's processor and aims to take advantage of hardware graphics acceleration where it can (available in Mac OS X and IE9 Beta for Windows users).
After downloading the installer file, make sure you remove any existing Flash Player installations first. Once done, close your browser and install the software. Note that this preview version has no automatic update facility – you'll need to manually check yourself.
Note, this version is for 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer only. Should you wish to remove this version to return to a stable release, click here to download the uninstaller utility.
Worth installing if you're running a 64-bit browser and want Flash support, even at the risk of instability. 32-bit users are better off waiting for the final release.

Dear Bay Weekly:
Janice Booth's appreciation of Elizabeth Ayres' book Invitation To Wonder: a Journey Through the Seasons (April 7) was just lovely. Made me want to read the book! Again! Kudos to both writers.

About 511NJ Phone ServiceSometimes motorists don't have access to a computer, but need transportation information fast. In such cases, dialing 511 on the telephone can help motorists find all the necessary information regarding area road conditions. 511NJ is available through landline and wireless phones.This frequently asked questions (FAQs) is designed to assist you in better understanding:
If your question is not listed here or you can't find the information you need, please contact us
Q. Is there a cost to access 511NJ?
A. There is no charge for the service itself, but calling 511 from a landline phone will cost the same as making any local call; wireless phone users will incur no extra charges by calling 511. However, they will use minutes on wireless calling plans, and roaming charges may apply.
Q. How do I use the 511NJ System?
A. Simply dial 511 or the toll free number 1.866.511.NJDT (6538). An automated voice system will prompt callers to choose from options such as Traffic Conditions, NJ TRANSIT, EZ Pass, and 511 New York, or 511 Pennsylvannia. Callers can respond verbally or by using the telephone's keypad.In order to improve safety, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) recommends that motorists call 511 before driving, or ask a passenger to call 511. New Jersey law states that using a hand-held communications device while driving a vehicle is a primary offense. Authorities will issue a fine to any driver caught violating this law. Although it is discouraged, drivers may use a hands-free device if it does not interfere with standard safety equipment.
Q. What do I do when the system cannot recognize what I am saying?
A. 511NJ uses a state-of-the art voice-recognition system to guide you through the menu options. Sometimes the system might have a difficult time recognizing your request due to one of following reasons:
Please speak as clearly as possible and try to eliminate background noise.You can also try 511NJ's touch-tone system. Just press "0" at each menu and the system will provide options and direct you to select a corresponding number. Remember to press zero (0) at every new menu to hear the touch-tone codes.Once you've learned the touch-tones, however, there is no need to press zero to hear the list of choice; just enter your selection. The number that you enter will correspond to the order in which the menu options are presented. For example, if you are in the Traffic menu and want to listen to traffic incidents, you will hear traffic incidents listed as the first option.By pressing "1" immediately, you will gain access to Traffic Conditions. However, this procedure will not work when selecting an item from a long list, such as the list of cities in Traffic Conditions. These lists begin at 10 rather than one.
Q. What are the tricks for navigating the system faster and more efficiently?
A. You can move the system faster by interrupting the system. Once you know what questions will be asked, you can answer them as the system starts asking them. There's no need to wait for the systemto finish the question before answering.Another trick to better navigate the system is to use shortcuts. Shortcuts are requests, like "NJ Transit" or "EZ Pass" made at the Main Menu, that bypass the menu structure and take you directly to the feature you requested.Other tricks for faster and more efficient navigation are using the following commands:
Q. What are the shortcuts at the Main Menu
A. Say any of the following shortcuts and go directly to that area of the 511NJ system:
Q. How do I give my feedback on the 511NJ service?
A. The best way to give feedback is to use the 511NJ Comments section, under the Home tab of 511NJ website at the Main Menu or press "77" at any time during the call and the 511NJ system will prompt you to leave a recorded message. We will also periodically offer phone surveys on the system as a way to receive information on the system.
Q. How do I use the system if I am hearing-impaired?
A. Hearing-impaired callers can dial 711to access all of the 511NJ transportation information. 711 is the national three-digit number for access to Telecommunication Relay Service (TRS). Callers dial 711 and ask the operator to connect them to the 511NJ service. Once connected, the 711 operator acts as a go-between, relaying callers' request for travel information to the 511NJsystem and then providing system responses back to the callers.
Q. How do I use the system if I am speech-impaired?
A. Speech-impaired callers can use the touch-tone system to access all of the 511NJ transportation information. To use touch-tone selections just press "0" at each menu. The system will list the menu options with a corresponding number. You simply press the number that matches your choice.Every time you reach a new menu or choice, you must press zero to hear the touch-tone options, but once you learn the touch-tones, there is no need to press zero to hear the list of choices; just enter your selection.The number to enter will correspond to the order that the order that the menu options are presented. For example, if you are listening to the Traffic menu and would like event information you will it listed as the first item. Therefore, by pressing "1" you will gain access to Traffic Conditions. The only time this will not work is where there are long lists such as with a list of cities in Traffic Conditions.
Q. What if the system is busy when I call?
A. The system may be experiencing an unusually high volume of calls when you tried to call the service, so the best advice is simply to call back. We are monitoring call volumes and if we need to increase capacity, we will do so. Also, if you are at home or work and have access to a computer and the Internet, you can always visit the 511NJ website for current information.
Q. Why do I not reach the 511NJ system when I dial 511?
A. There are three reasons why you may not reach the 511NJ system:
Q. We are a wireless phone service provider and would like to enable calls to 511 for our customers. How do we enable this connection?
A. To enable the 511 phone service connection for your customers, please contact the NJDOT 511 Project Manager
Q. Why can't I connect to 511NJ from my office?
A. Most landline and wireless carriers have agreed to provide access to the 511NJ service. Motorists who cannot access 511NJ should contact their local providers directly in order to transfer calls to 511NJ.

There is an efficient and expanding public transportation system that makes getting around in Guangzhou relatively simple. The Yang Cheng Tong card, available from convenience stores throughout the city, offers discounted travel using local buses, subways, and even some taxis. The subway covers much of downtown, and the stations are clearly marked with the Guangzhou Metro logo. The bus system has a more comprehensive service, but is slow if you travel long distances. Buses require exact change or a Yang Cheng Tong card. Taxis are a popular form of transport in Guangzhou for visitors, as they are cheap and reliable. Many drivers will not speak English, however, so it is best to have your destination written in Chinese to show them. Renting a car is possible, but driving in the downtown area can be confusing and possibly dangerous for those unfamiliar with Chinese as the road signs are not in English. China has a reputation for being bicycle-friendly, but Guangzhou does not have necessary amenities like bicycle lanes. You can rent a bicycle on Shamian Island, but for longer stays it is preferable to buy one, as rentals are often in bad repair. It is also possible to explore some areas of the city on foot, but the various districts are far apart.
Local time is GMT +8
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Plug types vary, but the two-pin flat blade and oblique three-pin flat blade plugs are common. Adapters are generally required.
China's currency is the Renminbi Yuan (CNY), which is divided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Make sure you exchange your leftover Yuan before returning home because you may have difficulty exchanging the currency outside China's borders. Foreign cash can be exchanged in cities at the Bank of China. It is not possible to exchange Scottish or Northern Irish bank notes. Banks are closed weekends. The larger hotels and the special 'Friendship Stores' designed for foreigners will accept most Western currencies for purchases. Major credit cards are accepted in the main cities, but acceptance may be limited in more rural areas. ATMs are scarce in rural areas.
The international dialling code for China is +86. Phone booths on the streets are usually for local calls only. In hotels, local calls are generally free or will be charged only a nominal fee. Hotels, cafes and restaurants offering free wifi are widely available. As international roaming costs can be high, purchasing a local prepaid SIM card can be a cheaper option.

Everything about travel documents
There are 5 Airport Express lines and 6 Airport Non-stop lines to round-trip between airport and downtown. There are also local taxis that transport passengers to and from Guangzhou city.
Rental cars are available at the airport, or in downtown Guangzhou.
There are taxis available at Guangzhou Airport.
There is a post office, bank, business centre and information desk at the airport, as well as leather, cosmetics, and local speciality stores. The airport also has dining facilities and a wine and cigarette shop. Special facilities for the disabled are provided.
There is both covered and uncovered parking at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.
Free wifi is available in the terminal.

VERGENNES — The Vermont Department of Corrections announced that a Vergennes man and a Rutland man escaped state custody on Wednesday while on a work crew outside of prison. Within a few hours the men were apprehended.
By DAVID WEINSTOCK
The 2012 presidential campaign may be rough, but it's got nothing on the 1483 race for the English crown. William Shakespeare's Richard III is the original game of thrones, as the Duke of Gloucester connives, deceives and murders his way to the top. Middlebury Actors Workshop's upcoming production opens Nov. 1 at Town Hall Theater.
ADDISON COUNTY — Hurricane Sandy, demoted to a post-tropical cyclone designation before it hit the state, blew through Vermont late Monday night and early Tuesday morning leaving clear blue skies and temperatures in the mid-60s in its wake, and Addison County residents relatively unscathed.
It's Halloween again, the holiday our daughters have been anticipating for the past nine months.
LINCOLN — An investigation by Vermont state game wardens has let to a 25-year-old Starksboro man being charged with taking a moose out of season.
Game Warden Robert Currier and Sgt. George Scribner responded on Oct. 5 to a report of a moose found dead on Guthrie Road in Lincoln. The wardens determined the moose had been illegally shot. Vermont's firearms moose hunting season was Oct. 20-25 this year.
Further investigation led authorities to cite Shaun E. Rublee of Starksboro in the killing of the moose.
MIDDLEBURY — It was almost two years ago that Beth Pearce was appointed to the position of state treasurer.
Now the Barre Democrat wants to earn the job at the polls on Nov. 6, when she faces Republican challenger Wendy Wilton, the Rutland City treasurer (see relates story).
FERRISBURGH — A transient man serving a lifetime driving ban for alcohol-related offenses crashed his car into a trees off Sand Road in Ferrisburgh on Oct. 27, injuring himself in the process.
Vermont State Police cited Kenneth A. Jennings Jr., 49, for driving under the influence and driving with a criminally suspended license. Police said he was driving a 1990 Chevrolet Silverado southbound on Sand Road when he lost control of the vehicle and went off the west side of the road, colliding with a moderate-size tree.
MIDDLEBURY — Rutland City Treasurer Wendy Wilton likes a challenge. So after helping her hometown get its once-disheveled fiscal house in order, the Rutland Republican now has her sights set on the state treasurer's office. On Nov. 6, she hopes to unseat incumbent state Treasurer Beth Pearce, a Barre Democrat (see related story).
"This is the first time the treasurer's office has been a competitive race in 20 years," Wilton said during a recent interview with the Addison Independent. "There are some big issues at stake."

My quilting has evolved over the years and, although I still love traditional quilts, most of my energies go into making contemporary work. I am drawn to strong graphic imagery and an underlying narrative, possibly linked with the fact that I spent my working life as a newspaper journalist. Not the type involved with dustbins or hacking, obviously. I try to make my quilts personal.
I live in Penarth, just outside Cardiff.
I exhibit work with various groups including the Women's Arts Association which offers opportunities to show textiles alongside paintings and sculpture which is exciting. The association campaigns on behalf of women artists and has an excellent newsletter http://www.womensarts.co.uk
I am a member of a local professional art group - their first quilter - http://www.vogaartists.com
I exhibit with Cwilt Cymru http://www.cwiltcymru.wordpress.co.uk We have shown our quilts at the Quilt Association's Summer show at Minerva, Llanidloes, and The Futures Gallery at the Pierhead Building, Cardiff Bay, which is part of the Welsh National Assembly estate.
