You can't just tell me I can't use half gallon jars....
Q

I have canning directions from a number of universities, Ball, Kerr, Presto, etc., dating back for over 20 years to the present. There have been many changes to the recommendations given by the various sources over the years. Example: pressure canning tomato juice in "Presto Cooker Canner, Directions and Recipes, 1978" lists no requirement for adding lemon juice or other acidification, and a recommended processing time for both pints and quarts is given as 15 lbs - 0 minutes. We've used that recipe over the years with no problems, but have since changed to other processing methods (processing time, acidification, pounds of pressure). It was only until a few years ago that we could find an "approved" method for preparing and canning vegetable tomato juice (V8?), but we've been canning quarts and 1/2 gallon jars of our own "V8", using our own directions which I've published here a number of years ago, for over 30 years! Jeez, did I get the nasty comments after posting that. And, the person that posted that the large canneries monitor the temperatures of each container in a batch, and conduct lab tests on products from each batch has certainly observed canneries other than the 10 or so I've visited. Getting back to recipes for half gallon jar recipes, I know it would be no big deal for a University that routinely conducts food safety testing and publishes "safe" recipes to conduct tests and provide recommendations for canning at least a limited number of recipes they standardize as to type and amount of each ingredient, etc. Heck, I can't believe that a great number of grad students haven't wanted to do just that!

can't download youtube video clips

the kick youtube one seems to work I just tried it. Instead of putting abc you put kick in the url right before youtube. Then when it opens at the kick page at the bottom of the video you click on Kick, it then has a bar at the top with the various types of download file options choose the one you want like mp4 then on the right click on the green go, then right click on the download button and choose save link as. If for some reason you are only getting the embed link then on the youtube site at the top left corner of your video where you see the name of the video poster click that and go to their page and click on share and it will give you a url you can use. You should also be able to get a good clean url if you click on the share button directly below the video itself on the regular youtube page.

Hope I can describe the problem, can't
Q

Writing on left, empty spaces more writing, more empty spacing, more writing, more empty spacing, across the page, almost like columns but not that precise. This makes the email disjointed and hard to read, and I have not been making her aware of this, thinking maybe it is something she does and hasn't realized it. It's a line wrapping problem, also called word wrapping. She's probably pressing enter at the end of lines, or sending from a cell phone that makes hard returns. It hits your system with a longer or shorter line length and the line wraps go all wonky. Also a problem with cutting and pasting things through a series of various systems and software. They progressively get worse and worse. ============= Search Google for word wrapping problem and the name of you e-mail prpogram. Usually there is a setting that will automatically try to fix the problem.

What to say when words fail you??
Q
Comments (12)
Are there comforting words possible; that's a complex question and depends on the people in the situation. If there were things that 'should have been said' and your husband has the feeling or thinking that there were; ask him what they were. It's maybe something he kept himself from saying, which he could have said or wanted to say. When words fail a person, they fail a person. People will then, quite naturally usually act or react based on 'instinct' or intuition. If your natural reaction was that words failed, so a hug ensued... that's just the nature of reality as far as you in that situation. By definition it was your best possible response it sounds like. Your friend may not have known how she felt if she only just got a major medical diagnosis, and all kinds of sudden imposed change on her life and any plans she may have had. You could offer literally anything they need, or if they need to talk... if there is anything you could do, ever to help them (that sort of thing). Also make sure their nears and dears know of your offer too because sometimes there are indirect needs; or needs that won't be mentioned but which would be really really appreciated. when words fail there can be no speech; whatever else happens would have to be nonverbal and a hug-- simple human contact and touch-- is not only as good as it may get, but it may also have been better than words could have been at the time

Holy smokes. I learned all about the "aggressive killer" Leopard Seal when I was in Antarctica. This just blows me away.

I had to do a bit of research on the photographer and found out he is Canadian and grew up in the Arctic. Here is his website. And here is an interview with him on the CBC radio program Quirks and Quarks.

Here is a link that might be useful: Interview with photographer

DH and I saw the Nat Geo show on that. I've always loved seals (and otters). They are amazing. One thing I found fascinating about the full length show was how the seal played with the penguin, the way a cat will sometimes play with a mouse. It was a little hard to watch.

A lot of interesting scientific stuff, simply explained, at CBC Radio One at "www.cbc.ca/quirks";. Also use "ideas", "tapestry", "thecurrent", "sundaymorning", "vinylcafe" or "dispatches" after the "/".

There's a two-hour nation-wide phone-in relating to a current issue in the news, public affairs, etc. every Sunday at 4 ... I think that you can get some of the earlier ones at "www.cbc.ca/checkup"; ... and if you go to the CBC website from 4:00 - 6:00 Eastern on Sunday afternoon, you can participate in an online discussion related to the Chross-country Checkup topic of that afternoon.
