  • DONE Add all languages to the alternative GoogleTranslateLinks templates
  • DONE Change Facebook and Twitter icons
  • DONE Ask Dieter Seifert which parabolics to list on category page.
  • DONE Rename HeadlineExt2 template.
  • DONE Add verbiage to WAPI to indicate that water slowly heats and cools and is thus in kill zone for quite a time.
  • DONE Tighten up Canning article including some caveats for these issues: "We do not, and cannot recommend these canning procedures, even for fruits. I have never seen any heat penetration work published or referenced to know these procedures take care of target microorganisms for all different fruits and tomatoes. If it was this simple, we would have the same process time for every fruit, even in boiling water. Different foods and packs heat differently while processing in the canner. They are mis-interpreting "all you need is boiling temperature." The goal is not to just bring the syrup to boiling and stop heating. Plus, when syrups or liquids boil out of the jar, you run the risk of lids not sealing, since those surfaces which meet should be clean. Also, we set goals for desirable headspaces and evacuation of air from jars before sealing for good vacuums and quality during storage. Our recommendations do not include solar canning or the description you have provided."
  • Have bot change all PD to Fairuse
