Greetings Bubblers! I hope you're as excited as we are about the fact that this year's festival is now less than three weeks away! Join us in a squeal of delight won't you? Eeeee! To keep your sequential art intake at acceptable levels until then we've got some lovely exclusive interviews with some of our awesome guests. Following on from our travels inside some of the small press artists' studios, these conversations with various professionals who'll be appearing at this year's Thought Bubble will be assured to astound and amaze. And various other words beginning with 'A'.
First off we talked to the excellent Emma Vieceli, a professional illustrator, writer, comic artist, and Thought Bubble veteran whose work on Self Made Hero's Manga Shakespeare line – as well as for Sweatdrop Studios – is something you really, really should check out post-haste. Emma will also be judging the cosplay competition at this year's Thought Bubble convention and running a workshop on Sunday 22nd (details on our main programme page). But without much further ado (there's a pun in there somewhere, I know it!), let us begin…
Hi Emma, thanks for taking the time to talk to us, first off do you think you could give us a brief idea of how you got into illustration?
I think like most people it wasn't a conscious decision. I just loved reading comics and watching cartoons as a kid, and started drawing on everything I could. I don't think it had ever crossed my mind that I'd one day be able to draw comics as a career… So, it really is still a dream come true. I was very lucky to join Sweatdrop as they helped me early on and gave me somewhere to focus my interests. We all just loved making comics. It was (and still is with Sweatdrop) very much a hobby for fun.
The turning point for me was the year when I managed to bag a place in Tokyopop's first UK Rising Stars of Manga competition (again, thanks to Sweatdrop friends bugging me to enter!) and also myself and Sonia Leong had been pitching to and had signed to work with SelfMadeHero just before Rising Stars was announced. So, it was a pretty big year for the pair of us. Hamlet taught me a shed-load, not least of all that running my full time job alongside a GN contract would make me very ill! I ended up going freelance towards the end of the book, as by that point I was talking to two potentially exciting clients about future jobs…it was hard to switch gears and realise 'wow, this is actually happening'! Sadly the two potential clients never panned out – such is the industry – but by that point I was away, and have never regretted making the decision.
So very much a case of 'learning on the job' then?
Pretty much, haha! But then, as artists, we're always learning on the job. We never stop learning I don't think.
Your style appears, as I'm sure you've heard many times, to be quite manga-influenced – is that a conscious decision on your part, or simply your natural illustrative technique shining through?
Never a conscious decision, no. Creators are always inspired by what they see around them. What we watch/read as we're growing up will shape our own style hugely but, whatever that style may be, I believe it should be something that flows naturally. I don't hold with the concept of consciously thinking 'I want to draw like that'. It can't be as enjoyable to force a style, surely? For me, I grew up in the UK and spent a lot of time in Italy with my family. There I was exposed to Bonelli's Dylan Dog (a comic that changed my life) and also a lot of TV anime. Back in the UK I was also reading Marvel comics and The Beano. What's interesting is that even the three manga styles that I really fell in love with in my early teens and that influenced me hugely (Rumiko Takahashi, CLAMP and Keiko Nishi) are completely different from each other. I don't know what that mystery aura is that makes us look at a piece and think 'manga', but whatever mine was, it was born out of a veritable mish-mash of stylistic influences. These days I don't tend to refer to my work as manga and I don't call myself a manga artist, but I think my storytelling techniques are still very reminiscent of shoujo manga stylings… So, maybe that's the defining feature?
What would you say your main artistic influences are?
They're always changing, but my most influential artists overall would probably be: Giovanni Freghieri, Keiko Nishi, Adrian Alphona and studio Clamp.
Do you think there is a stereotpyical view held amongst western audiences of what a 'manga' title will have to offer, one which limits the potential audience?
I think there is one, yes. But I think it's being gradually expelled thanks to titles like Monster and Death Note. It's not all sailor suits and giant mecha! Once, the image of manga over here was that it was all sex and violence, now that's been turned around so that it's seen as all being for kids. It's a pretty sharp swerve, so now we need people to realise that it's both of them and everything in between! It's comics – plain and simple.
Do you think that manga is enjoying the same surge in popularity that superhero comics seem to be currently experiencing?
I think the manga wave is finally subsiding here in the UK after an amazing few years, but what's great is that a lot of us are seeing what we always hoped would happen when it was at its biggest over here. We hoped that this time, unlike past manga/anime rises in popularity, when the wave passed it would leave behind a solid foundation – a bedrock of manga in our existing comic industry. It's what a lot of us worked very hard for, and I think we're seeing that. Manga shouldn't be some strange sidekick to comics, but a fantastic part of a wider comic scene. We're seeing styles and techniques crossing over a lot now, and that's great.
Any particular favourite titles in this new-wave?
I guess I could be cliché and say Death Note… It's superbly written. I have to confess I do also like Naruto in its manga form as opposed to the anime. However, to be perfectly honest, I don't really differentiate between what is seen as 'manga' and what are 'comics'. It's all comics, and I probably spend more time reading X-Men, Runaways and Fables than I do 'manga' these days. I get frustrated by the constant need of many to separate the two!
Do you think this differentiation between 'Western' and 'Eastern' comics is stunting the growth of the graphical medium in general?
I think creators themselves aren't as worried about the differentiation, so it's not stunting creativity at least, but I know of several creators, myself included, who have hit hurdles with publishers because our work is 'too manga' or 'not manga enough', and that's upsetting; to always have your work compared in some way to whatever litmus paper exists for this mythical 'manga' style.
That said, the wave has also lead several larger book publishing companies to get in on the action with graphic novel lines, so on the one hand, GNs are booming like never before.
I think we're getting there. I'm seeing certain large comic publishers being very open with their new artists, and we're seeing some fantastically hybrid art styles. Gone are the days of house style, and that's great news for creativity!
You're perhaps best known for your excellent work on the Manga Shakespeare range, what was it about those adaptations that appealed to you?
I'm a Shakespeare NUT! Studied him at university, wrote a dissertation on him and then after uni, I became a professional performer for a while and got to do a couple of Shakespeare roles. For him to then find me through comics started to convince me I was being haunted! I just love Shakespeare's work, and his plays were always meant to be seen and not read as text on paper… So, I thought Emma Hayley's idea of something between the two was genius!
I can think of worse historical figures to be haunted by! Do you have a favourite Shakespearean play, or character, one which you'd relish the chance of illustrating?
Very true! Haha! Well, lucky for me, my two favourites were Hamlet and Much Ado! In some ways I'd love to go back and apply what I know now to Hamlet – but that way madness lies, haha. I was happy with the storytelling, and that's the most important part of any comic I think.
Ah, nice King Lear reference! So, when you're adapting Shakespeare's plays from the manuscripts, do you take into account stage directions, or just utilise the dialogue?
I don't use anything but the dialogue… So, essentially I am the director of the piece too – which is great fun. I love trying to add new elements within the set text. Richard [Appignanesi] does a great job of adapting the script down to GN-length dialogue, and then I add what I can to that visually.
To be honest, Shakespeare was very sparse on his stage direction, with the exception of exits, entrances and the occasional 'dies offstage', haha!
You've been involved in the UK sequential art scene for quite some time now, have there been any noticeable changes during that period, for better or worse?
So many changes! Most notably, there is just more of it – and that's fab. When Sweatdrop started out almost nine years ago (ARGH!), we did so because there was no one at the time in the UK publishing manga-style work. This was before Tokyopop, before Markosia…it's hard to believe. Sweatdrop is a bit of a dinosaur of UK small press comics, haha. We've seen Rising Stars of Manga come and go, we've seen Neo Magazine start up and become the amazing publication it is, and we've seen independent sequential artists in the UK move from photocopied, folded comics into pro-looking digital printing. There are so many groups and individuals out there now making the most of cheaper printing and the ever-expanding convention scene.
Shows like the London MCM Expo have exploded comics out into the wider public, while shows like Thought Bubble, BICS and Bristol offer specialised playgrounds where comickers and comic lovers can come together and revel in the shinies. Magazines like ImagineFX have really started welcoming comics into their line-ups, and even the surge in recent comic adaptations to film have all contributed to the notion that the geeks truly shall inherit the earth.
The UK has always had a wealth of amazing comickers, but so many have been forced to take their talents elsewhere in the past. There are a lot of people right now working hard to really push the talent pool we have here in the UK, and I love seeing the results!
Some people seem quite eager to pin this growth on the recent success of comic-book adaptations at the box office, how much do you think this is the case?
I think the film industry has not so much drawn in new readers (though I bet it's brought a few people 'home') as it has strengthened the bond and courage of existing readers. I know loads of people who love the recent surge of adaptations, but they've never read a comic and never will… What this recognition has done has made existing readers feel less isolated; it's made us that bit prouder of our obsessions. We can now wear our geek-shirts with pride and count ourselves amongst those 'who were there at the beginning, man'.
You're appearing at this year's Thought Bubble; do you enjoy attending conventions and other events of that nature?
Well of course! I LOVE events. They're the times we can come out of our solitary studios and mingle with humanity…and other creators.
I attend as many as I can in a year without destroying myself, though that's getting harder these days now that there are so many events, what with me trying to span the pure comic events and the anime conventions! As I write this I'm recovering from the MCM Expo, where I actually organise the ComicVillage, so I'm very much looking forward to Thought Bubble, where I can be a creator again. I have huge respect for the people who organise these events after my Expo experiences! This weekend I'm off to my first Italian convention in Lucca, so that should be good fun!
I urge anyone who sees me at an event to come up and say hi! For some reason I get a lot of people after shows saying online that they saw me, but didn't want to bug me at the show, haha. I'm there to be bugged, people! Don't be a stranger! ^_^
Alas, as it is said, the rest is silence. Many thanks to Emma for taking the time and talking to us, we here at Thought Bubble are huge fans of her work and really cannot recommend it enough!
A little bit of TB related news now, for those of you unlucky enough not to be able to make it to this year's festival, we're pleased to be able to bring a couple of our big-name guests to you! Thanks to our partners at Travelling Man, Ben Templesmith and Alex Maleev will be attending signings at TM's Newcastle and Manchester stores during the Thought Bubble festival period, details can be found on the flyer placed conveniently below…
That's all for now, tune in on Wednesday when we have another interview for you with one of our fantastic guests. "Who?" you may ask, well you'll have to come back to find out. Mystery is our middle-name.

Howdy hey Bubblers, a tasty bit of news for your mind grapes here – Thought Bubble, in association with Travelling Man, is proud to announce our next event in the build-up to November's festival…
On Friday 9th October, as part of Leeds' annual Light Night, Thought Bubble and Travelling Man will be hosting an art masterclass from Marvel talent Adi Granov. The free masterclass will run from 6.30pm – 8.30pm at Travelling Man's Leeds' store, and will focus on 'how to break into the comics industry'.
To book email email@example.com or call 0113 2436461
This workshop is very limited, so please book soon to avoid disappointment.
The evening will also feature a live drawing session on the store front window, so all you artistical people out there can pop along and join in drawing something for the whole of Leeds to see! There will also be give-aways, food and drink, and lots of fun (seriously, like, industrial strength quantities of fun). The store will be staying open until 10pm so everyone should come down and join in the frivolity, thus banishing the autumn blues to the phantom zone for all eternity.

By the hammer of Thor, we have a lot of news at the moment, a sure sign that this year's Festival is getting closer than Luke Skywalker and the insides of a tauntaun. Deep breath, here goes…
The Adi Granov masterclass (previously announced here) has had a date change, and an expansion… On October 9th Thought Bubble and Travelling Man Leeds will hold a very special night of comics fun, with an interactive art-wall shop-front where anyone can pop by and draw some doodles! Plus free comics! Also Iron Man concept artist Adi Granov will run a special Art Masterclass!
Coinciding with Leeds' annual Light Night there will be a very special masterclass lead by Industry comics superstar Adi Granov. Adi will run an Art/Breaking into comics masterclass which will take participants through the process of how he works and talk about how to build a strong portfolio. Places are very limited for this event, so sign up soon to avoid disappointment…
email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 0113 2436461
Next bit of news is related to our last post, concerning the Leeds International Film Festival (our partner in quality edutainment) and their extension…
Next week the LIFF team will be announcing their venue line-up for this year's festival, along with early details of the programme sections and the first film announcements. The festival's team are also on the look-out for volunteers to help the various events run smoothly, writers with a love of cinema for their Fanomenon series, and are also still accepting submissions of films for the festival proper.
The best way to get all the latest updates for this year's Film Festival is to subscribe to their newsletter via firstname.lastname@example.com
The final little bit of news is more related to our core aim: providing top notch sequential art bits and bobs to you, our loyal (and thoroughly lovely) fans. Malorie Blackman (author of most excellent prose, including Pig Heart Boy) has a peice up on the Guardian's website counting down her Top 10 Graphic Novels for Teenagers. It's a strong list, and one which anyone who has been looking for a way to break into the, sometimes baffling, world of sequential art could be well served in following. Totally worth checking out, and anything with such a worthwhile cause as getting more youngsters reading comics (and also affording the medium the respect it so rightly deserves in the mainstream) requires everyone's attention.
And that's the news. Keep checking back regularly for all the juiciest Thought Bubble and Sequential Art morsels and we'll see you in November for both the festivals, as Wyclef Jean might have said (Mr Jean is in no way affiliated with either Thought Bubble or the LIFF).

Thought Bubble is just getting bigger and better all the time, it seems to be our mutant power: Exponentially increasing awesome-osity. And super-modesty. November can't come round quick enough!

text: I just downloaded this EP (don't worry, I'm buying it...it just won't come out for a month) featuring Mike Patton and I think it's freaking amazing. I always admired DEP's instrumental talents but now that they got rid of that awful vocalist they used to have they sound so much cooler...maybe that's because Patton is a genius. Great stuff!

State Auditor Nicole Galloway is looking for to restore whistleblower defenses that were eliminated in a brand-new questionable law. A cost legislator passed this year raises the basic to show workplace discrimination and strips away securities for employees who report company misdeed.
Advocates of the law say it's indicated to promote business activity and job production by eliminating troublesome policies. Galloway declares it goes too far by putting public employees at danger. "Here is the state, we need an excellent business environment to develop tasks and have excellent paying tasks," stated Galloway. "But that does not mean we need to be hostile to employees and versus working people.".
The controversial law is called Senate Bill 43, which is at the center of a "travel advisory" provided by the NAACP. It passed with heavy assistance from the Republican-controlled legislature. Auditor Galloway is the only Democrat to presently hold a statewide workplace.
That the law increases the problem of evidence on people declaring workplace discrimination is well developed. It's rollback of protecting for those who report misbehavior has gotten less analysis.
The whistleblower terms use to both personal and public-sector staff members.
Galloway competes for federal government employees who report misdeed would be left particularly susceptible. She indicates an examination by legislators this year where they asked jail staff members to explain indiscretions at the Department of Corrections after the company ended up being stuck in a scandal.
" They are in danger of being struck back versus or being fired for going public at the invite of the exact same lawmakers who passed the law removing their securities," stated Galloway. "It defies belief.".
A legal committee was formed particularly to analyze Department of Corrections' practices after prevalent corruption, harassment and intimidation were exposed by a paper report.
Galloway is proposing to reinsert whistleblower securities for public workers in an expense to be presented in the next legal session. In the near term, she's using to take a look at misbehavior problems by public staff members through the Whistleblower Hotline by emailing or by calling 800-347-8597.
She states she also prepared an educational leaflet that was sent out to the state Office of Administration for circulation.
Galloway believes the law is specifically unpleasant because civil servant is typical to just people with a direct understanding of waste or unlawful use of taxpayer dollars. "If they have the perspective to lose their job, to be struck back versus, to be fired, it is much less most likely that they will step forward and run the risk of all that to call out that kind of misdeed. That produces secrecy.".
Throughout a press conference with press reporters Tuesday, Galloway also raised an audit her workplace carried out which uncovered $65,000 dollars in missing out on funds in the southwest Missouri town of Carl Junction.
The city's previous local notary got a suspended sentence and a $40,000 fine today after a judge initially reported missing out on the money. "Had he not step forward and blew that whistle, the length of time would that have gone on" Galloway stated. "How much more money might possibly have been taken.".
The brand-new legislation proposed by Galloway, the public Employee Whistleblower Act, would modify the present law to renew defenses for both state and local public workers. It would also supply defenses for public staff members to report misbehavior to district attorneys, police, and the public media.
Galloway declares the proposal would not just return securities for public staff members but would be among the greatest such laws in the nation. Senator Jill Schupp (D-Creve Coeur) and House Minority Leader Gail McCann Beatty (D-Kansas City) are preparing to submit the expense for the upcoming legal session.
Schupp believes it's crucial for the defenses to be restored. "This legislation would motivate etiquette in our public organizations by approving defense for those who speak up versus waste and misdeed," Schupp stated. "State workers ought to not need to fear the danger of retaliation when they defend the good of our state.".
McCann Beatty states she does not want staff members to be damaged for exposing incorrect doing. "Auditor Galloway's proposed repair to state law will help secure devoted public staff members who do what is needed to hold federal government responsible.".
The law restricting whistleblower security for both public and economic sector employees entered impact Monday.

Yesterday I was pretty grumpy as I trudged to and fro through the yard to meet various school busses. I was searching for something blooming. I sort of keep track of the day each year that I find the first crocus. I know that one year it was February 17, my sister's birthday. This winter has been unusually mild, so I couldn't understand why nothing had bloomed yet. I came inside, looked through the dining room window, and saw it.
Spring is coming!

News and editorials
Security in New Places. This week, we took a look at a security report on a commercial product based on Linux. Stephen Friedl placed a posting on BugTraq regarding security problems he saw in Standard and Poor's Comstock's multiCSP, used within a virtual private network to provide real-time stock quotes. This was not the first such report; Kevin Kadow posted a similar, though less scathing review of the security of these systems in March, after contacting the company about the problems in January.
Following the thread, it appears that Standard and Poor's was slow to respond to these security reports. A version of the server "burned" in February had, indeed, somewhat improved security, but a customer letterwas not sent until yesterday, May 24th. No effort appears to have been made to fix already deployed servers in the meantime.
We contacted Standard and Poor's last week and received a response from them yesterday. They were not yet ready to acknowledge the accuracy of Stephen's original report, in which he documents being able to access and obtain root access on other mCSPs on the VPN after gaining root access on the initial device. They did promise to quickly address other reported security problems, but of course, having been slow to respond to them so far, only the availability of complete fixes in the near future will fulfill this promise.
They also stated that they were actively pursuing the issue with Stephen to see if the remote access vulnerability could be confirmed (at which point, they promised to address the problem swiftly). A quick check with Stephen elicited the information that they had indeed contacted him to follow up the report -- after our phone call. We expect that Stephen's report will be verified.
Meanwhile, CNet posted an article Wednesday, entitled, "Flaws in S&P service could put companies' data at risk". Standard and Poor's had run out of time to deal with the reported security problem before facing adversarial media scrutiny.
This is an example of education through experience. Security issues have real consequences and one area where they can have impact is the potential undermining of customer trust. Enabling clear procedures for handling security reports, verifying them in a timely fashion and keeping customers and the public informed can minimize the potential damage. Standard and Poor's Comstock just had an object lesson to this effect. They get little sympathy from BugTraq members, who have previously educated companies in many other industries and situations. They will get even less if these problems are not addressed in the near future.
Web-site defacements, sorted by OS. Attrition.org has made available an interesting set of charts. Provided are moving 29-day averages of the number of reported web-site defacements, sorted by operating system. Add this to your statistical fodder, for comparing the security of various operating systems. Of course, the preponderance of defacements on Microsoft-based servers could be based on personal biases of the defacers, rather than the ease of the defacement.
Sendmail, Inc. on ILOVEYOU. Sendmail, Inc. has issued this press release stating that the ILOVEYOU virus attack demonstrates the need for server-level protection of the variety that is available from, well, Sendmail, Inc. Those who read closely will note the absence of a claim that Sendmail's products would have actually prevented the ILOVEYOU episode.
Sendmail, Inc. has also announced the opening of an office in Germany.
Guide to Home Networking (justLinux). Here's a look at home-network security from justLinux. "Now, the network's probably not bulletproof, but it is tighter than before the attack. It's about 3 a.m. by the time I get back online. I head to bed feeling like I've done all I could do to stop further attacks. Little did I know that intruders had already setup residency on my box."

Security Reports
Xserver: nasty denial-of-service vulnerability. Chris Evans reported a nasty denial-of-service vulnerability in XFree86-3.3.5 where a malformed packet sent to port 6000 TCP causes the Xserver to lock up the system. This has been confirmed on Red Hat 6.2 and OpenLinux 2.3 and 2.4. For more information, check the SecurityFocus database entry. Note that the problem also occurs with XFree86-3.3.6 and XFree86-4.0, though the behavior is slightly different.
qpopper 2.53. Both the FreeBSD and Linux versions of qpopper 2.53 are reportedly exploitable and can be made to provide a remote attacker with shell access (uid=mail). An upgrade to qpopper 3.1 is recommended. Note that not everyone is comfortable with the security of 3.1 which is still in beta.
fdmount. Arend-Jan Wijtzes reported an exploitable buffer overflow in fdmount. The potential exploit requires that fdmount be installed suid root and is only exploitable by someone in the "floppy" group. An exploit has been published. Slackware 4.0 and 7.0 and Linux-Mandrake 7.0 were reported vulnerable. Slackware 3.5 and Debian 2.X were reported not vulnerable.
PGP 5.0. A security flaw has been reported in the Linux and some BSD implementations of the PGP 5.0 protocol. PGP 2.X and 6.5 are reported not to share this problem.
MDBMS. A remote exploit for MDBMS has been published on the BugTraq mailing list, along with an unverified patch to fix the problem.
gdm. A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in Gnome gdm. No distributions have been found vulnerable so far because they are shipped with "Enable=0" in the gdm configuration file. You may be impacted if you compiled Gnome from source. Modifying the configuration file will resolve the problem. Check the SecurityFocus vulnerability database entry for more details.
Commercial products. The following commercial products were reported to contain vulnerabilities:
mailman. The mailman mailing list manager, as shipped with Red Hat Secure Web Server 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2, is reported to contain several security vulnerabilities (no details provided). An upgrade to mailman-2.0beta2 is recommended to close these holes.
dump. Security-related buffer overflows in dump were reported originally in the March 2nd, 2000 LWN Security Summary. For more details, check the SecurityFocus database entry.
Kerberos. We mentioned that multiple, exploitable buffer-overruns had been reported in the MIT and Cygnus Kerberos implementations in last week's Security Summary. This week, an additional Kerberos patchwas provided. This will only be needed if you are compiling krb5-1.1.1 from source with the "--without-krb4" option. If you are, be sure to apply the patch. The results without it are reported to be "disastrous".
CERT has also issued an advisoryregarding the Kerberos vulnerabilities. It contains additional information about the NetBSD and OpenBSD Kerberos implementations, which are based on the KTH implementation and therefore believed to not be vulnerable. Chris Evans also posted a followup, with information on other potential problems with Kerberos that he provided a few weeks ago.
Netscape SSL. Problems in the manner that Netscape handled invalid SSL certificates have been fixed in Netscape 4.73. Check last week's Security Summary for details.
lynx. After a series of reported security problems with the lynx text-based web browser dating back to September of 1999, the code has at last undergone a thorough audit. The latest version, lynx-2.8.3pre.5, is believed to close all major holes.
xemacs. A couple of problems in xemacs have been fixed, including the insecure creation of temporary files and snooping of other users' keystrokes. Although not confirmed, these may be related to similar problems reported with emacs in April.
gnapster/knapster. For more information, check out the security report in last week's Security Summary.
openldap tmplink vulnerability.A tmplink vulnerability was reported in openldap. Check the April 27th LWN Security Summary or Red Hat Bugzilla ID 10714 for more details.
This week's reports:
OpenSSH Linux port. A new version of the Linux port of OpenSSH has been released. It includes a large number of bugfixes.
checkps. Development on checkps, a Linux rootkit detector, has recommenced. A new version is now available via CVS, containing a fix for a non-exploitable buffer overrun, in addition to other small fixes and features.

Project Description
Portrait Photography: Celebrating Whitman Walker
I love portrait photography. One of my favorite projects this year was for the Whitman Walker Clinic, an organization that provides so much to so many people in Washington DC. Their goal was having photographs that create awareness and could be used at a fund raising event during the celebration opening of their new offices in Washington DC. What made this project extra fun is they let me come up with the visual theme. As a portrait photographer, it's not often I get to have complete artistic freedom on a professional assignment. I decided to create a series of client and staff portraits that celebrated the new offices. The shoot was so much fun and I am so grateful to have been part of it. This kind of portrait photography required sensitivity and really good social skills to bring out the positive Whitman Walker message they wanted to convey from their own clients and staff. We also needed to be aware of how the images would be used and displayed which included having large prints to hang in the gallery where they held their celebration/fund raising gala event, then framed as prints to be hung in their beautiful new Washington DC location, used in different online and printed formats, and used at subsequent events and for their marketing and fundraising efforts. It was such a joyous project that I will remember for years to come.

1. Your own music!
The most important thing you need to enjoy streaming is your music collection. Streaming is all about getting the most out of your music. Archiving your music is simple; basically building up a library of your music that is far easier to access than going searching for CD's. Archiving is an automated process that does everything for you; you just put the disc in the slot on your PC or Laptop.
Read the Archiving your music section for an explanation of how to do this but don't forget this is your music that you already own and you won't need to go and buy it again.
There are however other alternatives available and one of these is Tidal. Tidal is a subscription service that supplies a massive range of easily accessible music at a quality that is comparable to CD or even higher resolution. For £18 a month you can enjoy a collection that would take a hundred lifetimes to amass. All in superb quality.
Subscription services are becoming an extremely popular way to enjoy music. From the moment you hear its sound quality, some uses argue that they don't need to "own" music. Being a collector I find that hard to swallow but when it comes to quality some of the subscription services on offer are remarkable sounding solutions to listening to music. I became a convert after begrudgingly using the free trial.
Radio – internet radio offers superb performance radio. There are massive numbers of stations to suit all genre's as well as all the local and national stations you already know. It's all there for you right out of the box.
2. Next is your network
Providing you with wired and wireless internet; your network doesn't need to be anything special to allow you to stream. You don't need expensive routers or customer cables and provided your router has a few spare Ethernet ports you'll be fine with whatever you have.
You'll also need somewhere to store your archived collection if you do decide you wish to archive it.
Some products have inbuilt storage. A hard drive that can be fitted inside or a USB socket to which you can load music. Other products "see" music stored on your network. We do not recommend storing your precious music on a laptop or computer which may fail or which you might replace every few years. There are better ways to do this and these are all covered in our Storage section.
You'll now need a way to play your music library and there are two ways of doing this.
The first is a Network Audio Player (or Streamer)
Streamers start at just under £500. They offer multiple advantages over just streaming via a laptop and DAC. For a start you don't need to have your computer on in order to listen to music. Nor do you have to use your laptop or PC to search for music and control it. In fact there are ways to set the system up where you don't need a computer at all. Some people work with them and don't want the distraction of one sitting on their lap when they are relaxing and listening to music.
Many streamers also have high quality DACs built into them. The advantage of that is these DACs will often upgrade the sound of other devices that you connect to them. Old CD players, your iPod, your television and SKY box are all examples of things that can be improved dramatically by connecting them up in this manner.
Another immense advantage of a Streamer can be the user interface. As well as a remote control; most streamers provide a free app that you can download onto your smartphone or apple device. This gives you a simple and extremely visual way of browsing and enjoying your music collection and provided album artwork and even sleeve-notes. Because this software works on a network device you don't even need to have line of sight to the product to control it but can do it from another room. It also enables you to hide the streamer if you'd prefer not to see the equipment.
Some streamers also have amplifiers built into them. These offer high performance in a one-box format and are ideal for people who are starting out OR replacing an aged stereo system. We have a wide range of these products on demonstration.
The second way to play your music files is via your computer or laptop.
In order to get good sound from a computer you will need a decent Digital to Analogue converter (DAC). Good examples start from about £250 but it is well worth paying more. There is no need to get technical to explain this; put simply better DACs simply sound better and often the differences are extremely noticeable.
Of course the laptop needs to be in the same room as your DAC and has to connect to the DAC with a USB cable. You will also need a little more IT knowledge to configure it but once it is set up it can even be used with an app like JRiver just as a streamer would be.
Selecting which solution is the best for you is something that we'd be happy to discuss and of course to demonstrate to you. We run regular open days where we explain and demonstrate Streaming solutions. We also have streamers set up and playing in the store at all times and can always "walk" you through them and show you how they work.
Finally you could take the all-in-one approach
This is an example of a one box offers a great, simple solution that will suit many people. It is easy to use and has an array of simple design features which make using it a joy. All you need is this, a network and an amplifier and speakers. The cost is £1099.
Naim Audio make higher performance one box solutions from £1995 and these offer even higher performance.
You don't need to make an appointment if you just want to find out more.

The Goose Creek Historic District is a nearly 10,000-acre rural historic district in western Loudoun County, Virginia. Europeans first settled the area in the 1730s. By 1750, the Quakers had established a meeting house in the village of Goose Creek; the name later changed to Lincoln. Eventually, Goose Creek became home to the largest concentration of Quakers in Virginia. The village and surrounding farmlands were also inhabited by free blacks. In the mid-19th century, Lincoln was a thriving village offering a variety of services to its residents and surrounding farms. These Quaker farms were typically a few hundred acres - large enough to provide an income but small enough to be farmed by a single family. Quakers did not believe in slave labor. This farm pattern is still evident on the landscape today.
The Underground Railroad is a name given to the effort slaves made to escape to freedom, tracing their paths, and the help they sometimes received from sympathetic citizens. Did you know that elements of the Underground Railroad run through the
Quaker village of Lincoln, in western Loudoun County?
The Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, settled here by the 1730's. Many Quakers were early abolitionists, warning against the evils of owning slaves. Quaker leader, Samuel M. Janney, a Lincoln resident, wrote: "Ours is the only religious society in slaveholding states that bears testimony against slavery –…"
Loudoun Quakers in the Lincoln area made efforts to abolish slavery in the decades leading up to the Civil War, 1861-1865. Quakers involvement........ Read more in our latest edition of "Did You Know?" click on the link below

Today's team review is from Terry, she blogs here https://terrytylerbookreviews.blogspot.co.uk/
Terry has been reading The Echo Chamber by Rhett Evans
SciFi, dystopian techno-thriller involving AI and social media
What I liked:
- The author has talent; this is a most original novel that makes some interesting points in an intelligent and well-informed fashion. Basically, he can write good sentences, has a fine handle on suspense, and uses words creatively.
- It is clear that he really knows his subject: Silcon Valley, the dangers of AI and dependence on social media; how it is now so ingrained into our culture. The Echo Chamber shows a good understanding of the future that is just around the corner, some of it already happening; the manipulation of our thoughts and prejudices by the media, the lack of security concerning the data we give out so freely, and its use by AI to re-order the population. This is all stuff I love to read about, and some of which I have written about myself, so certain aspects had me engrossed.
- It is inventive; I was impressed by the world put together within the pages, and the insight.
- There are some great twists.
- It's well professionally put together, and decently proofread.
- The author has something to say. This, I think, makes a novel more than just a story.
What I was not so sure about
- It's very technical in parts; as I've said, I have an interest in the subject matter, but some of it I found rather heavy-going. I think that if you don't have a quite good understanding of new technology, much of it might go over your head.
- The structure: it goes back and forth between 'Before' (the collapse of the US) and 'After', with other 'Outside Time' sections. I'm usually a fan of going back and forth between different periods, but in this case I think a linear structure would have worked so much better. I kept enjoying the 'Before' parts, then being dragged out of it to read about different situations, 'After'. This hampered the flow, and made it definitely not an 'easy read'. I wondered, at times, if it was experimental for the sake of being experimental.
- The dramatic event and its fallout, when it happens, is dealt with so quickly – instead of seeing it experienced from character point of view, we are just told about it, in a brief fashion, by a narrator.
- Most of all – there is little or no characterisation. I felt as though the author had thought up a brilliant plot, but added the characters as an afterthought. Mostly, they just seem like names on the page, as vehicles for what he wanted to write about. Only one is three-dimensional (Orion).
This is a debut novel, and, as I said, I can see that Mr Evans has talent and a great deal to say, but I think he needs to take some time to learn about writing as a reader, and understanding that characters are central to any story – because readers react to what happens in a fictional world because of how it affects the people they're reading about, not because of the events themselves. It does, however, have a few stunning reviews, so if you're madly into tech rather than people, you might love this book.
A Silicon Valley scandal sets off a chain of dystopian events in this topical and twist-laden thriller about virtual heists, social media, and second chances.
Mike is a Silicon Valley wunderkind who stood idly by while his company launched an addicting social media platform that made the world take a turn for the worse. He did nothing when an outrageous tech scandal pushed a polarized country to the brink of collapse. Then, after becoming trapped in a loop of his own memories, he is doomed to watch society fall apart over and over. Only by crossing paths with Charlotte Boone—once Hollywood's up-and-coming royalty—does a kink appear in the pattern. With a daring heist in both the virtual and real worlds, Charlotte may hold the key to burning it all to the ground: the company, the lying pundits, and the echo chamber itself.

Sun, diet and knitting
I licked my lips at the sound of cat food falling into my bowl. I sniffed the food, paused, then sniffed again. Could it be? Yes, it could. Low fat cat food. The cheek! I, of course, refused to eat such insulting food. I do not need to go on a diet! "The Knitter" just raised her eyebrows and continued to knit her next masterpiece. Something to do with a cupcake pin cushion apparently. As if I care, I mean, diet cat food? Seriously?

FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) - When Van Buren catcher Tyler Spoon signed with Arkansas as a high school senior, expectations were sky high for the former Pointer standout.
Spoon decided to redshirt his freshman season. The Razorbacks made a run to the College World Series in Omaha that summer but Spoon was some place a little farther away from his hometown.
"He was out in Alaska playing summer ball and I think that helped him in his own maturity and his own baseball sense that he came back and he did great things," Arkansas outfielder Joe Serrano said.
Those great things included being name a freshman All-American the next season and the production has continued to climb ever since.
"I feel like he's finished about as strong as he can," Arkansas closer Zach Jackson said. "Putting up crazy numbers in the SEC and finishing the way he has in the postseason. It's been an honor playing with him."
" It's just be an honor to play here at the University of Arkansas," Spoon said. "I grew up an Arkansas kid so just playing here is a dream come true for me and just to be a part of it has been incredible for me."
Spoon is hitting .292 in his career at Arkansas but his numbers are much higher this year, his junior season. The right fielder is hitting .331 while pounding out a team high 20 doubles and has driven in 54 runs, just one behind the team lead of Andrew Benintendi.
Even though the production, and the number of at-bats has soared, Spoon said he takes the same approach today as he did when he got back from his summer in Alaska.
"I don't know if my role has changed," Spoon said. "I've just tried to be a guy that has been consistent and tried to be a guy that plays hard every day. Just try to do whatever I can to help the team win."

Our ladies had a second win of their season against Ederney. Our seniors are away to Kinawley on Sunday, while on Saturday the Thirds are away to Aghadrumsee and our Reserves host Erne Gaels.
At underage level, our Under 15s lost out to Derrylin last Thursday, coming out the wrong side of a grandstand finish. Our Under 12s played in a blitz on Sunday with the outcome being that they have been placed in Division 2 and start out their campaign away to Teemore on Thursday evening. Our Under 14 girls played in the Under 14 feile Blitz on Saturday.
Finally, it was with sadness that Harps members heard of the passing of Mr John Toal, Killyclogher, last week. Sympathies are extended to the Gallagher family, Boho on their bereavement.

Put down your bronzer and add a flush of colour to your contouring this Winter with my Seasonal pick of blushes and step-by-step guide!
It's as simple as adding a wash of rosey-colour to your usual contouring this Season, whilst complementing our fairer, Winter skin-tones while still adding depth and a sense of warmth.
Often in Winter bronzers can look dirty on fairer skin-tones making skin look dull. One of the simplest ways to overcome this problem is to add a flush of colour either over the top of your usual bronzer to lift and brighten skin or to add a deeper plum or rosy blush instead of your bronzer to breathe a breath of sunshine back into your skin.
Blush is one of my favourite products when it comes finishing off a look, not only bringing the eyes, skin and lips together but also brightening tired or dark circles under the eyes and giving a more youthful feel to one's face. It's the un-sung hero of the makeup world and I can never rest until the good word has been spread to all corners of the planet.
This week I have put together a little edit of my favourite colours along with how and where I like to apply them. Take a look and let me know what you think?
One of the hottest duos and on high rotation in my kit this Season! On one side sits Orgasm, one of the best-selling blushes and considered a 'cult product' due to its vivid flush of luminous transparent colour- that I can pretty much confirm works across ever skin tone. On the other sits Hot Sand, a beige, highly luminous highlighter to kiss all the high points of your face with an up-lighting flash of light and radiance no matter how dull the weather may be. Firstly, I have to say I wish NARS would release Hot Sand as a solo highlighter. It's genius. It blends so effortlessly across pretty much all skin tones and really pops without looking sparkly in any way! Secondly this is not a duo blush to be missed, especially if you're a blush virgin. It's undoubtedly one of the most user friendly colours I have found. Tip; Use Orgasm high on the apples of the cheeks to brighten skin and tired eyes or over the top of your bronzer when contouring to brighten skin!
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure
If the thought of swapping out your bronzer for blush is too much for you than Hourglass Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure could just well be for you? A marble-like blush of a luminous sand-like colour and deep, bronzy-plum that blend together similar to what a bronzer would but with a gentle hue of colour to brighten up the Winter blues. Whether you're are of the fairer skin tone or of a more olive tone, Mood Exposure can be layered to suit your skin tone. Tip; Apply like you would a bronzer to the contours of your face to really bring skin to life.
Vivid As It Is Matt Bobbi Brown's Apricot Blush is one of my personal favs. Don't be afraid of Vivid As It Is, as the matt-ness of the powder gives the flush of colour an out-of-focus hue making it fool proof and subtle as it is bright! Whether you're brightening a sultry, smokey eye or contrasting a fresh pinky-nude lip, just don't be shy and wear it high on the apples of the cheeks. Tip; The trick to getting a flawless finish when applying a bright matt colour is to apply the colour to a large powder brush – shaking off any excess- and washing it over the apples of the cheeks and back towards the ears. If you want to take another ten years off, brush the excess product after each cheeck up the same side of the nose. You will be pleasantly surprised I promise you!
Givenchy Le Prisme Blush in Lune Rosee
I'm just going to come out and say this colour is my choice when working with medium to darker skin tones. There is something about the mix of colours that adds depth and colour to warmer skin tones that feels like it just belongs there. Tip; I like to sweep the colour down off the apples and back though the contours of the cheeks to brighten while adding depth and contour to a Winter or Summer skin. To seal the deal there is a clear particle that runs through the 4 shades that illuminates the skin just enough to the right side of freshness!
Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Love Is The Drug
A two-step blush that gives you the kind of flush of colour that only being in love can do! Love Is The Drug is a two in one cheek colour that can lift and define the contours of your face by swishing the brush around the outer shade of the blush and then adding a pop of colour to the apples of your cheek by dabbing the tip of the brush in the brightest shade which sits in the centre of the compact. What I love about yet another victory in design and usability from the queen of Makeup, Charlotte Tilbury is the texture. It has a subtle, clear particle that runs through both colours that adds light to the skin and makes it fool-proof to blend.
Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Flushed
Come Winter it's like the change of guards swapping out the Summer reds and bronzers with classic pinks and magentas to brighten skin with! Long wearing and easy to blend with either your fingers or a brush, Revlon's PhotoReady Cream Blush in Flushed is best used straight on the skin before you apply your foundation. Yes, that's right, under your foundation! Be liberal so that when you work your foundation -in a dabbing motion over the blush- there is enough colour to gently warm its way through the foundation giving skin a hue of colour that looks like it comes from within. You can thank me later for this very well kept industry secret!

Nissan Motor India, subsidiary of Nissan Motor Company, Japan, and its partner, Ashok Leyland, are planning to exploit the mass people-mover segment dominated by Toyota, with two new vehicles scheduled for launch next year.
This will be the first time Chennai-based Leyland, with presence only in commercial vehicles, would enter the passenger vehicle space. The product, a multi-utility vehicle (MUV), will battle for share with Toyota's Innova and Mahindra's Xylo.
While Leyland will play the pricing game at the lower end (Rs 8-10 lakh), Nissan will also come out with a product, to be placed a bit on the premium side, according to a senior official from Nissan Motor India.
Kiminobu Tokuyama, managing director and CEO, Nissan Motor India, said, "We will market our product in the same segment, but will target at the mid-premium segment. Ashok Leyland will target the mass market in the same segment."
An Ashok Leyland spokesperson refused to provide any comments for the matter. The joint development is a result of the joint ventures Nissan and Ashok Leyland are involved in, since 2007-08. Both companies are also engaged in development of light trucks, engines and vehicle parts. The MUV/MPV segment has recently come into the limelight after the category reported growth of 27 per cent in 2009-10, with sales of 422,989 units. A slew of companies such as General Motors-SAIC, Toyota Kirloskar, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Ford India, International Cars and Force Motors are developing vehicles for this space.
Nissan will make significant product differentiation to its own MUV/MPV in the areas of design and styling. Nissan's product will have a more sporty look, to maintain the premium tag the company enjoys in India.
Joint platform
Both Nissan and Ashok Leyland will use the same platform for their individual products, a strategy increasingly gaining significance across the world. For instance, Volkswagen shares a platform developed for a premium sedan for the Audi with SkodaAuto. This is being done by companies to keep costs under check, while attaining economies of scale through a larger bouquet of products. Building new platforms is considered the costliest effort while building a vehicle from scratch. An MUV platform can also be used for building an MPV and vice-versa.
Meanwhile, Nissan is also gearing to launch a mid-segment sedan in the second half of next year, which could be placed against Maruti Suzuki's SX4 or the new Volkswagen Vento. Both sedans are priced in the range of Rs 6.5-8.5 lakh. Tokuyama, however, refused to provide any guidance on the pricing of the sedan, which would be based on the V platform.

My apologies for the lack of posts this week. We had kids home from school on some snow days and school projects due and well you know... busy life. I'm getting excited for the prospect of warmer weather and I've been thinking about plans for landscaping and gardening. Our yard doesn't have a lot of variety yet and I can't wait to do some planting in the spring. I'm really going to focus on planting perennials since they are the best investment for a yard. Here are some perennial plant and gardening inspirations that are helping me have a plan for our yard.
Since I grew up in New England, I have a love for hydrangeas. I planted a handful of them last spring when we moved in, but I love this image with boxwoods in front.
Boxwoods are another favorite, since they do well in most areas and stay evergreen- they always look great.
Who doesn't want pretty smelling perennials? I'm also going to plant Lilly of the valley this year- they are so pretty.
These pyramids would be fun to D.I.Y.
I hope you have a lovely weekend. This week I have some fun projects to show you and my first giveaway- so come back!

Have you ever thought about what you would do when a white lie turns nasty and sex turns dangerous?
I am faced with this dilemma. The Boy told me a lie, he thought he was curbing my jealousy by telling me a lie, to make me feel special.
Instead it made me make a decision that I would not have made with all the information. In any other situation I would have said it was as much my fault as his but the lie makes it an un-level playing ground.
The question is. How do I deal with this? I am being punished for behaving myself and not being promiscuous. While paying for my boyfriend not being able to keep it in his pants.
The lie is the hardest thing to deal with. I mean I am ok now but the fact is, with this white lie The Boy could have put my life in danger. Do I want to be with this person?
I love him so much but I just do not know if I can get past this. Suddenly my jealousy feels so trivial.
And do you want to know the stinger? Well now that he is faced with losing me, he is telling me all those things that I have been waiting three months to hear.
Oh my heart.

Deserving & Success
"Everyone deserves, as we've so often said. If deserving were the cause of success, then everyone would be successful. Deserving doesn't cause… willingness does." Lazaris. It is so true. Does the president of the United States deserve to be president more than the average business owner? No. Everyone deserves what they want, but most are not willing to have it, Continue reading

One general rule in making an accessible web application is that you shouldn't change content of the page with javascript. This is because screen readers have a tough time monitoring the page and notifying the user of dynamic changes. Usually, the reason you would use Ajax is exactly that – do something on the server, and then update some small part of the page without causing the whole page to refresh. That means if you have an "ajaxy" page and you care about accessibility, you have to provide a non-ajax interface as a fallback for screen readers.
Ajax.NET, Microsoft's library for Ajax, makes this fallback easy to implement. Microsoft has you define your AJAX properties in an abstraction layer – the page XAML – which means that the framework can decide to not render the AJAX code to certain browsers (and screen readers) that will not support it, and instead use the standard postback method.
The problem with Ajax.NET is that the communication can be bloated (mostly because of the abstraction layer, it sends more post values than you might need – like the encrypted viewstate value), which negates many of the benefits of an Ajax solution. I really wanted to roll my own ajax communications to make them as lightweight as possible.
My solution was to write the page in a standard .NET postback manner, and then use a user-defined property that would allow javascript to replace the postback in javascript/jQuery with an Ajax call.
Here's my code:
$(function() { if (serverVars.uiVersion != "accessible") { // use js/ajax for checking/unchecking where possible var $todos = $("#chkToDo"); $todos.removeAttr("onclick"); // remove postback $todos.click( function() { //some stuff altering the document, and an ajax call to report the change to the db } ); }
This works great, although you need to be careful about your server-side events. In my case, I had an OnCheckChanged event to handle the postback/accessible mode. Even though checking/unchecking the box no longer fired an autopostback – ASP.NET will still fire the checkchanged event if you postback later for some other reason (e.g. – a linkbutton elsewhere on the page) after the checked status had changed. So, if a user had changed the state of a checkbox, then clicked another link button on the page – instead of sending the user to the intended page,my app just refreshed the whole page(because my CheckChanged event redirected to reload the page – which caused it to skip the 'click' event of the linkbutton). Once I realized this was happening, it was easy enough to fix – I just needed to only run the event logic if the user was in accessibility mode. I spent a little time running in circles on that one though, at first I thought my client side document changes were causing a ViewState validation error on the server.

How to make saurekraut:
From The Practical Produce Cookbook by Ray and Elsie Hoover
Remove defective and coarse outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut away any spoiled or damaged spots. Rinse heads in cold water to remove dust or visible dirt particles. The bacteria needed to ferment the cabbage are found on the cabbage leaves.
Cut heads into halves or quarters and slice or shred the cabbage so that the shred is long and thin as possible. If you use a food processor, you may not get this characteristically desirable shred, but it will not affect the fermentation.
Weigh the cabbage. Place it in the container (crock or food grade plastic pail). For every 5 lbs. of cabbage, sprinkle with 3 tbsp. pure canning/pickling salt (use a non-iodized salt because iodine will prevent the bacterial fermentation necessary to change cabbage into sauerkraut). Mix well to distribute the salt uniformly. Allow the salted cabbage to stand a few minutes to wilt slightly. Then pound the cabbage firmly with a wooden tamper until enough juices are drawn out to cover the cabbage. Repeat this procedure, layer by layer, until the container is filled to the desired depth and the cabbage is completely covered with juice. Leave at least 4-5 inches between the cabbage and the top of the container.
A water-filled plastic bag is one of the easiest and best ways to both cover and weight down the cabbage. Be sure that you use a heavy-duty, watertight plastic bag that is intended for food use and is not colored. Fill the bag with water to a depth of 3-4 inches, allow the bag to completely cover the cabbage and tie securely.
As an alternative method, cover the cabbage with a clean cloth or clear plastic, fitting the covering snugly against the sides of the container. Then cover it with a wooden, china or other nonmetallic disc and place a weight on top. It is absolutely essential that you cover the cabbage and liquid to exclude air, since the fermentation process requires anaerobic conditions (without air).
Place the container of cabbage in a well-ventilated place with a relatively constant temperature. If kept at room temperature (68-72ºF), the kraut should be ready in three to four weeks. At higher temperatures, fermentation will proceed more rapidly and the kraut will be ready sooner. Similarly, if kept at temperatures lower than 68ºF, a slow fermentation will occur, but may be incomplete if the temperature drops below 60º. It is desirable to provide 68-72ºF temperature during the first several days in order to begin production of the acid which will preserve the cabbage. Then, if desired, the container could be stored in a cooler area (basement, unheated garage, etc.) if you want a slower fermentation. If the temperature drops below freezing, fermentation will stop, but will start again when the temperature rises into a favorable range.
Check the container daily. During the fermentation, film yeasts or molds may form on the surface of the liquid. If they appear, skim them off. If any discoloration appears within the top inch of kraut, remove it. If you are using a cloth covering, rinse or replace it each time you remove scum or spoiled cabbage.
How to can sauerkraut
From The Practical Produce Cookbook by Ray and Elsie Hoover
Heat well-fermented saurekraut and liquid to simmering (185-200ºF). Do not boil. Pack hot kraut into clean, hot canning jars to within 1/2 inch of the top of the jar. Cover with hot juice, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. (If there is insufficient sauerkraut juice to cover all the kraut in the jars, use a boiling hot, weak brine that contains 2 tbsp. salt for each quart of water). Process in the boiling water bath canner 15 minutes for pints and 20 minutes for quarts. Star to count processing time as soon as the hot jars are placed in actively boiling water.
How to freeze saurekraut
Pack kraut and juice in rigid plastic moisture-vapor proof freezer containers, glass freezer jars (leaving at least 1 1/2 inches headspace), or in heavy, tightly sealed plastic freezer bags. Freeze.
