The 10 most expensive weddings ever to have graced the planet
If you thought your wedding costs were steep, imagine what it costs to book Stevie Wonder and Kylie, and to mail your invitations out in silver boxes? Or how about 110 types of dishes for 11,000 guests, a £200,000 dress, or designer gift bag favours filled with jewels?

Lol wow crikey!! I wonder how much of their budget went on wedding photography!
Good question! Who knows, it may even have been free, courtesy of Hello Mag!
Laura Babb says
60 Million! Wozers.
I think if many of us had that budget we could spend it so much more wisely?! I guess it would never get to be that expensive though. Remote exclusive locations, security, way more guests than the average wedding, designer bridal wear etc no wonder so many opt for a magazine deal!
Erin Balfour says
Can't even wrap my head around that amount of money on a wedding!!
Christopher Ian says
Holy moly!! thats insane, that last one… 60 million! and that was back in 1981, i wonder what the adjusted rate is now? (also the year I was born!)
Mimi & Liesl (Zouch & Lamare) says
£60 million – wowed. To have been a guest…..

Seb began skiing at the age of 5 and saw the snowboard world and thought it was far superior. Each Christmas he asked his parents for a snowboard and finally at the age of 7 they fulfilled his wish.
Seb also played soccer growing up but snowboarding has been his main focus for the past few years.
His most memorable moment was winning the Gold medal at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax. Seb was awarded athlete of the year from the Quebec snowboard association in 2010 and 2012. Seb has enjoyed considerable success on the NorAM circuit the past couple of years and he continues to improve his ranking on the World Cup circuit. In 2016 and 2017 he enjoyed multiple podiums, most notably a 2nd place finish on the overall NorAM tour ranking in 2016, a 1st place at Le Relais' PSL NorAM in 2017, and the title of national champion in PGS at the 2017 Sports Experts Speed Nation Nationals at Mont Tremblant.

The fall moose hunt is a time-honored Alaska tradition, but how much meat does the annual rite put in the freezer? And how much money is spent? Ned Rozell, science writer at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute, cites studies showing that 29,000 Alaskans and nonresidents harvest about 7,200 moose yearly, and assuming each of these 1,600-pound animals yields 700 pounds of sliced and wrapped meat, totaling about 3.5 million pounds. Surveys show 90 percent of rural households surveyed put moose on the table, and hunters overall, rural and nonrural, spend about $79 million on the annual moose hunt, much of that for gasoline for trucks, four-wheelers and riverboats. Rozell credits UAF master's student Tessa Hasbrouck for the results, which are in her thesis.
Meanwhile, how much forage do moose need to get through a winter? Rozell cites Tom Seaton of the state fish and game department for an estimate that moose need about 30 pounds a day of live frozen twigs. Other tidbits: There are about 175,000 moose in the state, and about 23 percent of hunters actually get an animal.


New 'Star Trek Beyond' Trailer And Poster Released!
This evening, Paramount Pictures held a special Star Trek Fan Event in commemoration for the 50th anniversary of the series and the upcoming release of Star Trek Beyond. Justin Lin of Fast & Furious fame directs the sequel to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness. One of our writers, David Daut attended the event and recently posted a recap on what he experienced.
Many fans have been wondering when the film's next trailer would be released after the first teaser in December was unveiled to a mixed response from Trekkies who felt that it was too action-heavy and lacked the essence of what Star Trek is all about.
The newest trailer for the upcoming film is finally here. You can check out the new trailer below.
Paramount also released a brand new poster for the upcoming movie.
Directed by Justin Lin and starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Idris Elba, and Sofia Boutella, Star Trek Beyond beams into theaters on July 22.
I'm really not feeling this movie.
Nice trailer. Still not sold, but there's a chance I'll get a ticket now.
Not only is it a vast improvement, this just jumped to my #1 must see list. I want to see this movie now. Even the poster looks awesome. Paramount has my money.
Before this trailer, I was moderately worried about this movie. Now I'm getting a little bit excited; hopefully Beyond is as good as this trailer makes it look.

EMBEDDED TRAINING (ET)
Bradley Fighting Vehicle
ET is training capability embedded into the actual vehicle, greatly increasing soldiers' opportunities for training. For ET activities, the vehicle is transitioned to a training state in which, for example, movement of control handles results not in actual turret motion but in simulated turret motion, sound effects, and simulated imagery in the sights. Vehicle systems are utilized to the extent possible and only training-specific software and hardware is added. Oasis has been working on ET for over two decades, starting with desktop experiments; continuing with demonstrations on a surrogate vehicle in 1999, an Abrams tank in 2001, and a Bradley vehicle in 2009; and culminating with our CTS-based production-ready solution.
ET increases a crew's opportunities for training by making training available anytime and anywhere. Institutional training systems are not present at every base and are often fully utilized when a unit is preparing for deployment.
Oasis ET utilizes the Common Training System (CTS) software, making it common with institutional training systems.
ET has been proven to support opportunity training for sustainment of gunnery skills. Changes necessary to support full Gate to Live Fire (GTLF) training are currently being studied.
Significant Features
Because the Oasis ET system utilizes CTS, it inherits all of its features.
ET currently supports all crew interfaces used in gunnery that are electronic (e.g., control handles, FLIR sights). The Oasis Multi-Function Periscope (MFP), aka Switchable Vision Block (SVB) enables incorporation of the periscopes in ET exercises.
Oasis is currently enhancing the ET system and providing integration assistance to General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) to incorporate ET into the Abrams M1A2 SEP V4 (M1A2D) tank in support of fielding in FY 2024.

Q: Bridge lights dimming or changing color after "battle stations!" was declared on some ship in Star Trek TOS? I seem to remember the lighting on the bridge of some ship1 in Star Trek TOS2 changing by design from normal to something attention-getting when "battle stations!" was announced. Changes in color, intensity or perhaps even direction.
But I can't place what I'm remembering exactly, or on what ship it took place.
I do seem to remember the Enterprise's bridge's lights dimming for a moment only when photon torpedoes were launched, and perhaps this happened ship-wide.
Question: But was there ever a lighting change that lasted longer, and that represented by design a transition to or from a "battle stations!" situation?
1Romulan or Klingon perhaps?
2I am primarily interested in (and remembering) The original television series but am reminded that the tos tag also covers the series of movies based on it as well, so answers about the films are certainly allowed as it's too late to specify only the original TV series (an answer has been posted). In meta: Does the use of [star-trek-tos] include or exclude TOS-era films?

A: just going off the top of my head here..

(thought at 0:11, Spock appears to be on the bridge and the lighting is very different)
So, from above, and from memory, and guessing, I would say the bridge lighting was kept fairly static (going by studio lighting, I would assume once it was set up nicely with highlights, bounces, flags etc, they would not want to disturb it).
When it comes to red alert, this is shown by backdrop light panels going red (and pulsing slowly) and the usual sound effects.
Any other lighting effects seem to come from whoever or whatever they are in aggressive contact with (see the blue light and flashes in the video links above).
As for fluctuations on photon torpedo launch, look at Balance of Terror:

 at 2:32
(engineering gets the light dip on launch)

 at 1:31
The bridge gets the light dip too.
In fact this episode shows that the light changes on the bridge only really happen when they get to combination main talent medium close up or for main character close up - the background lighting is generally untouched but they've flagged, highlighted and modelled the faces of the characters that matter in those shots - for more dramatic effect, which really makes no sense in the real world.
What's great about this is that the Romulan set is built and lit like a U-boat - no surprise given it is apparently based upon a great World War 2 US warship vs German submarine movie, 1957's 'The Enemy Below' starring Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens.
Outside of that, again it is engineering that really gets a lighting effect:

 at 1:06
IIRC, wasn't there something about the inside of the Klingon ships not being seen until TMP?
To my thinking, if someone said TOS, I can only think of the tv series and perhaps the cartoon series based on the same time period and characters.
tbh,
I treat the films separately, if only because production techniques and designs were so very different from the series that they were a whole new generation for me (and, the best, for me too).

A: This is common in Star Trek, actually. Here's an example from Voyager, with the bridge going from fairly well-lit to dark with red highlights. There's also a rare blue alert in TNG when Data cuts off the life support.
Since you tagged this with TOS, you're probably more interested in the bridge scenes from the films. Here's the "battle stations" effect in Wrath of Khan.

Gossip Girl- Season 5 (TV Series)
l-r: Serena (Lively), Blair (Meester), Chuck (Westwick),
Dan (Badgley) and Nate (Crawford)
This season of 'Gossip Girl' has become very similar to a car crash- I know I shouldn't watch it but I just can't look away. Season five has seen just as much treachery, deceit and over-the-top indecency as the four that have preceded it, which is exactly what's making Gossip Girl incredibly repetitive and frustrating to watch.
The principal characters Serena (Blake Lively), Chuck (Ed Westwick), Blair (Leighton Meester), Dan (Penn Badgley) & Nate (Chace Crawford) are joined by new permanent character Charlie Rhoades (Kaylee DeFer), who was actually revealed at the end of the last season to be an actress named Ivy Dickens hired by Serena's aunt in order to con the family out of millions of dollars. This remained the last truly shocking thing that's happened on the show since, apart from the unexpected return of…a certain former character whose name I won't reveal for those who haven't caught up yet.
Rhoades/Dickens (DeFer)
This season also sees Elizabeth Hurley guest star throughout the series as Diana Payne, the head of 'The Spectator', a gossip blog desperate to take Gossip Girl herself out of business. However, along with most other storylines in the show, what Payne was actually trying to do got caught amongst the over complicated waves of goings-on that take place on the Upper East Side.
A main problem that runs throughout the show is the fact that there are no likeable characters; as every character is out to get someone else for one trivial problem or another. The show is consistently defended by the fact that in real life, there are no strictly good or bad people which is an incredibly good point…although of course this isn't real life…it's a television show, which makes it extremely difficult to sympathise or empathise with any of the group: you'll love them one minute, and hate them the next.
Since some may think I have unfairly bashed Gossip Girl, I'll end on a positive. Since season 2, Nate has been riding on the coattails of other characters storylines, but it's safe to say that Crawford has obtained the most use out of his character in the last 24 episodes than he has in years, and with the show set to end for good this December with a short and hopefully sweet 11 episode run, let's hope 'Gossip Girl' goes out that way.
In short, this season has been an incoherent mess.

Enjoy your seaside holiday with a walk on the beach, ice cream in hand! Brean beach has five miles of glorious golden sands, making it the second longest stretch of sand in Europe. It's the perfect setting for a family day out in the fresh, sea air. The beach is just a stone's throw away from our Main Reception and there are beach footpaths near our Sunnyside entrance and Static Park too.
Brean Down is a National Trust treasure. It's a bracing walk to the top, either up the steps or around the sloping pathway. It's well worth climbing Brean Down to see spectacular, panoramic views of Somerset and across the Bristol Channel. If you walk out to the peninsula of Brean Down, you can explore the Napoleonic fort and read all about its wartime history.
The beach is suitable for a variety of activities. Why not bring a beach ball game, frisbee or kite with you? Don't forget your bucket and spade! If you've forgotten your beach gear, Brean Caravan Shop offers a selection of beach goodies. Sea fishing is permitted on Brean beach too.
Dogs are very welcome on Brean beach all year round. Remember to only let your dog off the lead when well away from other beach users, and always pick up after them. With Warren Farm's unique location between coast and countryside, you're spoilt for choice with several excellent dog walking routes on the doorstep.
You can park on the beach all day for a small charge, but please take note of the high tide times. Cars are allowed on the northern section of the beach and there is a no-vehicle area beyond the wooden posts.
Brean beach has the second highest tidal range in the world. At low tide, a vast expanse of mud flat is exposed, which is dangerous to walk on. Please do not attempt to reach the water at low tide.
The water quality is rated 'excellent' and safe for bathing. Please supervise children at all times, never swim alone and don't attempt to reach the water when the tide is out. If you encounter any problems on the beach, please call the Beach Warden on 07774 284891.

The Game's L.A.X. Releasing On June 24th
@BWyche March 21, 2008 0
Sources at Geffen Records confirmed today that The Game will be releasing his heavily anticipated third album L.A.X. on June 24th on the Los Angeles-based label.
Although the label has announced that the proposed tracklisting online is a fake, the record is rumored to feature production by Scott Storch and Just Blaze. Lil Wayne and Fat Joe have been expected as featured artists, especially with The Game's support of Fat Joe and 50 Cent's ongoing feud [click here to read…]. However, despite early reports, The Game's early mentor Dr. Dre has yet to be confirmed to be involved in the third release in any capacity.
More details are expected to be made available within the next five days concerning the album from the Compton superstar.

One of the most notable changes is the cast aluminium top cover. This cover incorporates various new and innovative features. It includes a water cooled element and absorbs radiant heat from the engine. This innovative concept results in a significant temperature reduction of up to 15°C – a reduction of 20%! Moreover, the sturdy aluminium top cover significantly reduces the noise level of the engine in combination with the new air filter, tests show a sound reduction of about 5 dB(A) and "near silent" operation at a cruising speed of around 2200 rpm. Finally the water cooled top cover is designed to be used as a step, making it easier to move around the engine.

Hi Dawne and all of the team at Rebate!
It was so important for us to take the time to say a massive thank you to everybody who contributed to make our wedding day everything and more we could have ever hoped for.
Dawne from the very beginning you made us feel as if we were a very special couple, and when we left the wedding office after our first meeting with you and Hazel we absolutely knew we were in safe hands. We had complete trust in your judgement and overtime everything we discussed from the food, service, colours, flowers, music, and entertainment we knew that your attention to detail was impeccable, and that our day was truly going to be a day to remember for the rest of our lives.
To Keith our minister, what can we say other than you were perfect, you made us laugh and cry and you were so incredibly funny, a true gent!
Maria your singing made our service truly amazing and so emotional, Dawne said you would bring the house down but nothing prepared us for your performance, your voice was mesmerising, and of course the mariachi band, they just bought a smile to everybody's face when they arrived, they certainly set the mood for the rest of the day.
Damian the music just flowed all evening, there was never a moment when the floor wasn't filled with people laughing and dancing, you did an incredible job!
Andrew what can we say, we didn't stop crying and smiling when we saw the photographs, and slideshow, you managed to capture the entire essence of the day, such attention to detail, just brilliant! What a great guy!
And finally to the staff from Rebate whose service was faultless, perfect food and wine served in abundance all day and evening. Antonio you were a star you worked tirelessly and made sure that everything we needed was there and you always had a smile for us all, so thank you!
Rebate has and always will hold a special place in our hearts, from the first time we visited we knew we had found a hidden jewel so for all you ladies and gents that might be considering a special celebration all we can say is that you won't be disappointed, Dawne and her team will make sure you have the best day of your lives, we certainly did and 2 weeks after our event our guests can't stop talking about it, they all agreed that without a doubt it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
They are just fabulous made me cry, so many happy memories!!… What a day!! Everybody still keeps sending messages reminiscing about the day and how spectacular it was. I told Dawne I will be writing a testimonial for blog so will hopefully get it done today.
Andrew thank you so much for being there on the day and catching all those special moments of all the people that mean so much to us. You really are a nice fella and all the guests said you were a nice down to earth guy, so hats off to you.


Gurumurthy typed out numbers, alphabets, symbols and special characters that are available on a regular typewriter to create the image of the pilot.
Ever since Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan was captured by Pakistani Army on February 27 and released on March 1, his courage and confidence have been celebrated with many gestures across the country.
Thousands of Indians celebrated the brave pilot's return by bursting crackers, writing poems, distributing sweets, and even naming newborns after his first name.
Last week, a chef at the 14th Culinary Art of India event in Delhi has carved the IAF pilot's face on a watermelon. Chef Jitender created the tribute art while participating in the Fruit and Vegetable carving category.
This week, an artist from Bengaluru paid tribute to the Wing Commander by creating a black and white portrait using a typewriter. An image of the portrait has now gone viral on social media.
Artist Gurumurthy typed out numbers, alphabets, symbols and special characters that are available on a regular typewriter to create the image of the pilot.
The portrait is complete with Abhinandan's gunslinger moustache which recently caught the fancy of thousands of users on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Even private companies leveraged his style to sell products.
"Unlike heroes in films, Abhinandan is the real hero. He brought real laurels for our country, this is what inspired me. I appreciate his bravery and the night he returned to India, I made this attempt," he added," Gurumurthy told ANI.
Gurumurthy, who dreams of entereing the Gunniess Book Of World Records with his art, has previously created typed portraits of former president APJ Abdul Kalam, former US president Barack Obama and Mother Teresa.

Bettors see Rockets vs. Thunder as NBA's closest first-round series
Photo by Alonzo Adams-USA TODAY Sports
August 18, 2020 9:59 am CT
[jwplayer bXXEnSQN-z6KDnl0B]
In the eyes of the sports betting community, the matchup between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder is the closest of all eight series in the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs.
According to Tuesday's update from Oddschecker, the Rockets will go into the series as a narrow favorite — with odds of -148 indicating a 59.67% chance of advancing to the second round.
The Thunder, however, are only slight underdogs, with their +140 odds equating to an implied chance of 41.67% to advance.
Oddschecker determines its lines by examining the current odds for each team across up to 10 leading sportsbooks, including BetMGM. They then highlight the most friendly number available to bettors.
For example, at some sportsbooks, Houston's position as the series favorite is as strong as -162. But Oddschecker uses -148 as the official figure for the Rockets, since anyone backing them would be incentivized to search for the closest odds, and thus the highest potential payout.
One key storyline is the health of All-Star guard Russell Westbrook, who the Rockets will be without in Game 1 due to a right quad strain. While Houston is hopeful that he will return at some point in the series, there is no official timeline yet — and that uncertainty works to OKC's favor.
On Rockets vs. Thunder, @ShamsCharania said this to @PatMcAfeeShow today:
"I'm told Russell Westbrook has started some light on-court workouts, light shooting. There is some hope he could play as soon as this weekend. … Cautious optimism." #OneMission https://t.co/LIJFaAIFvY
— Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) August 17, 2020
Considering that both teams finished with identical 44-28 records, even with Westbrook playing in most games, it's understandable why bettors could lean to Oklahoma City amid his absence. As of Tuesday, 67% of all bets placed on the market had backed Chris Paul and the Thunder to win the series, as compared to just 33% for the Rockets.
"It's no secret that the Rockets and the Thunder aren't fans of each other, and both sets of players are certain to leave it all out there on the court," said Pete Watt, Oddschecker spokesperson. "Although the percentage of bets on the Thunder demonstrates that sports bettors think they are a slightly better value wager, this is almost a pick 'em. If your team didn't make the playoffs, this is the series to watch."

— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) August 13, 2020
The fact that Houston remains a series favorite despite a clear majority of overall bets favoring Oklahoma City may indicate that some of the larger financial wagers (i.e. sharps, or professionals) are on the side of MVP finalist James Harden and the Rockets.
The competitiveness of the Rockets-Thunder series comes in stark contrast to some of the other first-round series. The Milwaukee Bucks, by comparison, are being given a 98.04% chance of defeating Orlando.
Tuesday's Game 1 between the Rockets and Thunder tips off at 5:30 p.m. Central, with a national broadcast on TNT and a regional version (with Houston announcers) on AT&T SportsNet Southwest. For subscribers, both networks have streaming options on their mobile apps.

Q: Setting Session Variable from UpdatePanel I am using ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 with the version v1.0.20229 of the AJAX Control Toolkit (which to my knowledge is the latest for .NET 2.0/Visual Studio 2005).
My web page (aspx) has a DropDownList control on an UpdatePanel.  In the handler for the DropDownList's SelectedIndexChanged event I attempt to set a session variable.
The first time the event is fired, I get a Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: "The message received from the server could not be parsed".  If I continue, subsequent SelectedIndexChanged's are handled successfully.
I have stumbled upon a solution whereby if I initialise the session variable in my Page_Load (so the event handler is just setting the value of a session variable that already exists as opposed to creating a new one) the problem goes away.
I'm happy to do this, but I'm curious as to exactly what the underlying cause is.  Can anyone explain?
(My suspicion is that setting the session variable receives a response from the server which is then returned to the 'caller', but it's not the sort of response it knows how to deal with causing the exception?)
EDIT: I reproduced the problem in a seperate little project:

On January 29, 2019, PG&E Corporation ("PG&E Corp.") and its primary operating subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the "Utility"; together with PG&E Corp., "PG&E" or the "Debtors"), filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California.
PG&E's cases have been assigned to Judge Dennis Montali and are jointly administered under Case No. 19-30088. The Docket can be accessed by clicking on "Docket" above or through the website maintained by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California.
For additional information about the reorganization process, including press releases and FAQs, please visit www.pge.com/reorganization.
The Bankruptcy Court has not yet set a deadline for filing general proofs of claim based on prepetition claims against the Debtors, other than for claims entitled to administrative expense priority pursuant to section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code (see below). At a later date, creditors will receive notice by mail of the deadline to file a proofs of claim.
The Bankruptcy Court has established April 22, 2019 as the deadline to file proofs of claim against the Debtors on account of claims entitled to administrative expense priority under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code ("503(b)(9) Claims"). 503(b)(9) Claims are for the value of any goods sold to either of the Debtors in the ordinary course of business and received by the Debtor within the 20 days before the Petition Date (i.e., on or after January 9, 2019 through and including January 28, 2019). Please click here to see a copy of the Notice of Entry of Order Establishing Procedures for the Assertion, Resolution, and Satisfaction of Claims Asserted Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 503(b)(9) (the "503(b)(9) Bar Date Notice").
At a status conference held on January 29, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court scheduled a hearing on the Debtors' First Day Motions that was held on Thursday, January 31, 2019, and a final hearing on certain of the First Day Motions was held on February 27, 2019. A final hearing on certain other First Day Motions was held on March 12, 2019.
By order dated March 27, 2019 (the "Final NOL Order"), the Court approved certain restrictions and procedures applicable to transfers of stock of, and claims against the Debtors requested in the Debtors' Motion for Interim and Final Orders Establishing Notification Procedures and Approving Restrictions On Certain Transfers of Stock of, and Claims Against, the Debtors (the "NOL Motion"). The purpose of the relief requested in the NOL Motion is to protect the potential value of the Debtors' net operating tax loss carryforward and certain other tax attributes.
In accordance with Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code, a meeting of the Debtors' creditors was held on March 4, 2019 at the Phillip Burton Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 2nd Floor, California Conference Room, San Francisco, CA 94102. The meeting has been adjourned to Monday, April 29, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. If there are any other continuances or adjournments, this website will be updated to reflect the later date.

Microsoft has secured a $479 million-plus contract with the U.S. Army for Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) prototypes, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, expanding its relationship with the military and beating out a slew of other companies competing for the contract.
It expects devices to vary from their consumer-grade counterparts in a handful of key respects. In a document shared with companies bidding on the contract, the Army said it wanted to incorporate night vision and thermal sensing, measure vital signs like breathing and "readiness," monitor for concussions and offer hearing protection. It said the winning bidder would be expected to deliver 2,500 headsets within two years, and exhibit the capacity for full-scale production.
The contract is a notable loss for competitors like Magic Leap, which Bloomberg said was among more than two dozen companies that met with the Army (though whether Magic Leap was ever a real contender is perhaps questionable).
As Bloomberg noted, news of the contract arrives amid ongoing contention between Microsoft and its employees, who have raised concerns about its bid for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract, a military cloud computing deal potentially valued at up to $10 billion. Microsoft workers have also raised concerns about other contracts with government agencies facing criticism on human rights grounds including the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The company's president Brad Smith later defended the company's decision to offer its technology for use by the military, essentially citing patriotism and claiming that the company believes "in the strong defense of the United States" through top-notch technology like its own.
We readily decided this summer to pursue this project, given our longstanding support for the Defense Department. All of us who live in this country depend on its strong defense. The people who serve in our military work for an institution with a vital role and critical history. Of course, no institution is perfect or has an unblemished track record, and this has been true of the U.S. military. But one thing is clear. Millions of Americans have served and fought in important and just wars, including helping to free African-Americans who were enslaved until the Civil War and liberate nations that had been subjected to tyranny across Western Europe in World War II. Today the citizens in our military risk their lives not only as the country's first line of defense, but often as the nation's first line of assistance around the world in hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and other disasters.
Not sure if there's any perfect way to defend your company's questionable business relationships with the military-industrial complex, but it's definitely not this.


Here we have our wonderful Stainless Steel Sprouting Screen Set. The set is comprised of 3 screens of different mesh sizes (Fine, Medium and Coarse), each nestled in a durable, bright white plastic ring. These are made for Wide-Mouth mason jars. Also included are printed instructions for Jar Sprouting. We have these screen lids made just for Sproutpeople. We're very proud of this set! Probably the best known method of sprouting is Jars with Screen Lids. Though Jar sprouting generally requires more attention to detail - it certainly can work! Jars are clear and very cleanable - because they are glass. If you want to sprout in Jars, this set is the perfect way to top your Jars. We also sell a Single Medium Mesh Screen Lid, for those who want just one.
Specific Sprouting Instructions are found on the page devoted to the Seed or Mix you are growing. Below are the specifics of Jar Sprouting. All steps take for granted that you have a Screen Lid attached to your Jar.
Not all seeds require this step. See the seed information page to see if you need to do this for the seed you are sprouting. Skip this step if you don't have a screen with mesh smaller than your seeds.
Fill the Jar with water. Twirl and twirl and twirl the water around in the Jar. Pour water out and repeat the fill and twirl and pour until the water runs clear.
Fill your Jar with cool (60 - 70°) water unless instructed otherwise by your seed supplier (us, we hope =;-) and leave to soak for 8 - 12 hours, or for the time noted for the specific seed/mix you are sprouting.
Fill your Jar with cool (60 - 70°) water. Twirl and twirl the Jar. Pour water off and repeat once or twice more. As a rule we do it 2-3 times every time we Rinse. We Rinse and Drain 2-3 times daily.
This is the hardest part of Jar sprouting. It is also the best reason to have screw on Screen Lids. When you are done Rinsing you need to get as much of the water out of the Jar as possible. With a Jar all you can really do is use gravity, so turn it Screen down and shake it up and down over and over and over again until no more water comes out through the Screen. When you are growing big seeds it is easy enough to get most of the water out, but when they are small seeds, there will always be some water left, so shake more than you think is necessary.
We always put our Jars face down - at an angle - between Rinsing and Draining. We will use our dish rack in the rare event that it isn't full of dishes, or more often, we use high rimmed bowls which the Jar rests on, and which captures the excess water that inevitably drains out, even after our thorough Draining. You can get away with leaving the Jar upright if you are growing big seeds (see Perfect, above), but when you grow small seeds (those listed above as Good Matches) they end up sitting in water (that water which we can't believe is even there, because we drained so thoroughly after Rinsing). Actually it is only the very bottom seeds/sprouts that are sitting in water, but they don't much like it and they can spoil your whole crop. So, set the Jar - at an angle - face down between Rinsing and Draining! It can also improve air-circulation (not if you use a bowl as pictured, but certainly if you use the dish drainer or something open like that).
If you have our Screen Lid Set - or another set of Screens, of various mesh sizes - change your Screen as your sprouts grow, unless you started with the widest mesh Screen, of course. When growing seeds that shed their hulls, especially small seeds like Leafy Sprouts and Brassicas - which grow leaves; moving to a wider mesh screen allows hulls to escape when you Rinse and Drain. Always use the widest mesh screen you can - regardless of what crop you are growing. As long as your seeds/sprouts aren't escaping - you're using the right screen. The wider mesh also makes Draining easier, and slightly improves air-circulation.
We always suggest a low-light, 70° location for your sprouter, until it is time for Greening (if you are growing sprouts that green (anything that grows a leaf - like Leafy or Brassica sprouts). At that point we often say: Move your sprouter to a brighter location (or words to that affect), and though we always say to avoid direct sunlight, we will tell you strongly: Never put a Jar in direct sunlight - unless you wish to cook your sprouts! The lack of air-circulation built into Jars makes them the most vulnerable to heat build-up, so if you are Greening sprouts in a jar, don't move them to a too bright a location, but rather, concentrate on that other thing we say: You'll be amazed at how little light it takes to turn your sprouts green!
Before Harvesting any crop, it is essential that you Drain it Very Thoroughly after your final Rinse. Storing crops that are dry to the touch, maximizes their shelf life. Draining, when growing in a Jar is always a bit more work, so pay especially close attention to this. Drain thoroughly! If you are growing Leafy or Brassica sprouts, you can use our De-Huller to remove any remaining hulls, and dry your crop at Harvest time.
If you want to Store Your Crop using a Jar, all you need is to screw a Solid Lid onto your Jar, before putting it in your refrigerator.
If you have a particular seed type in mind, read on to discover further details of Jar Sprouting that seed type. Refer to the seed's main information page for detailed instructions.
Follow instructions on this page for Jar specifics and on the seed/mix detail page for all bean specifics.
You can't grow big thick Mungs in a Jar unless you want to break the Jar when they're done - that's the only way you'll get the sprouts out. SO, grow the sweet and tiny Mungs when using a Jar!
Broccoli, Radish, Cabbage, etc. need to move while sprouting or they will form a root mass (beginning around day 3) which is at least unpleasant and often lessens the sprouts' quality. Solution: Break Up/Loosen the mass. Fill the Jar with water, take a fork and use it to loosen the sprout mass. If the Jar is too full, transfer them to a bigger container for the loosening. Keep breaking up the mass at every Rinse after that too.
You will also get rid of hulls by changing your Screen Lid as your sprouts grow. Use the widest mesh you can. Always. As long as your sprouts aren't falling through the Screen, you're using the right Screen.
Do not try to grow mucilaginous seeds in a Jar!
One issue folks have with these sprouts is that they expect them to be green. There are - almost always - regardless of the sprouting method - some sprouts which will not turn green. Those that grow in the center of the crop - their leaves will remain yellow. Our advice is: Live with it! Most will green if you don't over-crowd the sprouter (use 2 Tbs. or less of seed) - and those that don't are still plenty delicious, nutritious and they add beauty (yellow goes well with green and white!) too. Leafy sprouts will shed their hulls more readily if they are allowed to move freely, so break up the mass on day 4 and 5 and maybe 6. Fill the Jar with water and kinda pull the mass apart with a fork type implement. It isn't a critical issue with the Leafy Sprouts, but it doesn't hurt.
Garlic, Onion , Fenugreek, etc. require no extra work - though they do take more time. Be sure to drain the Jar well after each Rinse so that the seeds/sprouts aren't sitting in water (not only will those that sit in water sprout poorly - they'll smell REALLY bad!) and remember - Alliums all take up to 2 weeks to finish sprouting so keep Rinsing and Draining if it's Alliums you be growing.
Maximum dry seed per Quart = See the detailed page for the Seed or Mix you are growing.
Follow Seed specific AND Jar specific instructions.
Follow Mix specific and Jar specific instructions.
Pre-Sprouting Only! Fill your Jar all the way, with water, when Soaking Sunflower Greens. Use a Screen Lid too, to keep them under water.
Pre-Sprouting only! Never mucilaginous seeds!
Maximum dry seed per Quart = See Seed Information page for the seed or mix you are Pre-Sprouting.
Sprouting Screens come in different mesh sizes. You should always use the widest (most coarse) mesh you can. Wider mesh allows the water to flow in and out more easily and improves air-circulation as well. In some cases (when growing Leafy or Brassicas sprouts) you change the screen lids (from fine to medium and then to coarse) as your sprouts grow. The widest mesh screen allows some hulls to pour out along with water during your last few Rinse and Drain cycles. This makes de-hulling easier.
Sproutpeople has improved on the old Sprouting Screens!
14 years into our sprout adventure we began producing our own Set of 3 Stainless Steel Screen Lids. They are made from T304 standard grade Stainless Steel. They come in 3 mesh sizes: Fine, Medium and Coarse. And perhaps best of all, our Fine mesh lid is finer than any lid ever offered (in this galaxy anyway), so even the smallest seeds won't escape (except Teff, but that is almost microscopic).
The Screens are held on your Jar with heavy duty Plastic Rings.
Our bright white Plastic Rings are very durable. We have these made just for Sproutpeople. They are expensive, but worth it. Plastic Rings are the ultimate solution to rust.
Metal Rings rust over time and can cause the outer portion of your screens to rust too. You can discourage rust by coating Metal Rings with a light coating of vegetable oil or some food-grade silicon spray if you like, but rust is inevitable. Due to that - and supply issues, we only sell Metal Rings individually.
Our 3-Screen Sprouting Lid Set comes with Plastic Rings. It is, if we do say so ourselves; the ultimate solution for Jar sprouting.
We also offer an Individual Sprouting Screen (with the same Plastic Ring). That screen is our Medium Mesh.
Lastly, if you want to store crops in Jars, we offer a Solid Plastic Cap, which of course, fits Wide-Mouth Mason Jars.
Though you can make your own "screen" lid - with cheesecloth, hardware cloth, a nylon stocking and a rubber band or string, we strongly advise that you use actual screw on Screen Lids. They make the Jar as good as it can be, and because Jars require extra work (Compared to other Sprouters, they have relatively poor air-circulation and draining is generally more difficult), we think you will be very well served by adding these fairly inexpensive attachments. But, we do love the pioneering spirit, so go for it. We made our own, once upon a time; we used nylon stockings and rubber bands, during our first 2 weeks as Sproutpeople - in May of 1993. We found the stockings made draining very difficult, but then again, we were growing 50 jars at a time. You may find a homemade screen works just fine for you. It Never hurts to try.
Per Quart you can grow: Up to 1 pound of Leafy Sprouts or 2 pounds of Bean or Grain Sprouts.
For Sprouting Instructions, click the name of the Seed or Mix you want to grow.
Jars can be used to Sprout or Pre-Sprout just about any seed. The seeds that don't belong in a Jar, are those that are mucilaginous.
Mung Beans - Jars should be used only to grow small (1/8-1/4 inch) Mung Sprouts - which they do quite nicely! The 3 big issues with growing big thick Mungs in Jars are the inability to keep them dark while growing, the inability to apply weight to the growing sprouts and the almost impossible task of removing the sprouts when they're done. Don't even try big thick Mungs. You may very well succeed, but if you do you will have to break the Jar to remove the glorious sprouts.
Nuts and Seeds - Almonds and Peanuts - The big ones.
A Good Match for the Jar: These seeds can all sprout wonderfully in a Jar if you pay extra attention to the details of sprouting.
Brassicas - Broccoli, Radish, Cabbage, Kale, Tatsoi.
Exotics - Garlic, Onion, Fenugreek, Hot + Sweet, Clem's Choice, etc.
Seeds and Pseudograins - Buckwheat Groats, Quinoa, Amaranth, Sesame, Pumpkins, Sunflower - the smaller and tender ones.
Almost a necessity for Sunflower Greens, because they float when soaking.
Put Screen inside Ring. Screw Ring on Jar.
All of our Screen Lids will fit any Wide-Mouth Mason Jar - which are the only Jars we sell.
Cleaning: wash well between crops with soap and water. Rinse well! To keep your screens shining, after every few uses spray and risnse with CitriSurf 77, or soak for 15 minutes in white vinegar or citric-acd-and- water in a 1 to 8 solution. Stainless steel mesh can "tea-stain" over time and an acidic cleaning soultuon will keep mesh shiny!
Sterilize: Soap and water are usually all you need for Jars and Screen Lids. You can use food grade hydrogen peroxide - it is better for you and the environment than bleach, which is what we used in our day as professional growers. We might even offer something for sterilizing.
I make Indian tikkis and use these weekly to make 3 kinds of sprouts. They wash and rinse and get batted around in our kitchen and are very sturdy. Much appreciated!
The steel lids are so much better than the plastic. Certainly more durable. I dropped a glass jar and while the glass didn't break the brand new plastic lid did. I use this set now. Oh, if anybody has the discontinued sprouter called THE TUBE, the screens and screw bands fit perfectly!
I had tried to sprout in jars with cloth tops. These screens made it so much easier! They are the best! I will be sending some to my family as gifts!
These are the best lids I've found. I love the easy sprout, but use it mainly for refrigerator storage and prefer to sprout in 1/2 gallon jars. This lid set fills all my needs.
I've had every screen kind ever made and these blow them alll away. They are thinner than plastic ones so water drains way better. They are well worth the price and the instructions they send with them are useful and cool.
These are excellent for jar sprouting. I've been sprouting since the early 70's and have used a lot of these. Sproutpeople has made the best ones ever!
These are extremely popular with our customers.
We have the honor of being the only wholesale account Sproutpeople serves. We sell these proudly to our customers. Rainbow is the largest worker co-op in the US. We too are located in San Francisco.

BRIAN MAY Says QUEEN Is 'Looking At Ideas' For Possible 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Biopic Sequel
QUEEN guitarist Brian May has once again opened the door to the possibility of a sequel to the band's biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Released in November 2018, "Bohemian Rhapsody" has become the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time, bringing in more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It was also No. 1 biggest-selling film of 2019 on home release.
Speaking on Instagram Live about a possible sequel, May said: "We are looking at it. Yeah, we have been looking at ideas."
He added: "It's going to be hard to follow that one as none of us could have predicted how massive that was going to be. We put a lot of heart and soul into making it and no one could have predicted [its success] as it was bigger than 'Gone With The Wind'. But yes, we are thinking maybe it could happen, but it would have to be a great script. It's going to take a while to figure that out."
In July 2020, QUEEN drummer Roger Taylor said that a "Bohemian Rhapsody" sequel was unlikely. "I really do think that we need to sit back for a year or two and look at things and see if that is a believable or credible thing to do," he told Rolling Stone. "The movie was a great hit. We were delighted, obviously. But I think I wouldn't want to be seen as cashing in again. I'd have to have a very, very good script and scenario to make that work. Right now, I can't think of a way of doing a sequel."
He continued: "If somebody comes up with a genius plan, maybe we'll think about it. [Laughs] Right now, we're just very happy with what the movie did. There are so many sequels that don't match up to the original one. There are obvious ones that did, but on the whole, I think it's a dangerous territory."
Roger went on to say that he was surprised by the success of the movie.
"It was extraordinary," he said. "There was the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs and then the Oscars! We thought, 'Hey, we'll take it!' It was a great ride, but it wasn't our world. Our world is the rock and roll world. It was fascinating and very interesting to be involved. When the movie got four Oscars, it took a while for that to sink in. Mind you, they didn't give Brian [May, guitar] and me any. That's okay, though."
In early 2020, May also ruled out a follow-up film, telling Rolling Stone: "Don't think we didn't think about it. We've talked. Basically, we think not, at the moment. Things could change, I suppose, but I think it would be difficult."
According to May, part of the challenge in making another movie is that it would likely focus on singer Freddie Mercury's battle with AIDS, with which he was diagnosed in 1987. Mercury battled the disease in private, telling only a select few close friends in the years which followed. He died in November 1991.
"I don't think that would be an uplifting thing to do," May told Rolling Stone. "I'm not saying it's impossible because there is a great story there, but we don't feel that's the story we want to tell at the moment."
QUEEN's six-song performance at Live Aid serves as the triumphant finale for "Bohemian Rhapsody", starring Rami Malek as Mercury. But the movie left out a ton of the actual Mercury story, as May acknowledged during his Rolling Stone interview.
"There's a million things in our career which you couldn't show in a movie since the movie had to be so simplified to make it watchable," the guitarist said. "But we don't really think there's another movie there. That's the long and the short of it. I think we should look somewhere else. There are other ideas that we had, but I don't think a sequel will happen. But we have looked at it pretty seriously."
Despite poor reviews and a problematic director (original director Bryan Singer was replaced by Dexter Fletcher during shooting), "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out of the gate a massive hit and has since dethroned "Straight Outta Compton" to become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time.
In the film, Mercury's AIDS diagnosis comes earlier than it did it real life; before the Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium, when, in reality, Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987.
Regarding any changes to the timeline of what actually happened in real life, Taylor told Mojo magazine: "The important thing is it did happen. We're not telling lies. The chronology doesn't really matter."

Stone-Manning sells out America's wild horses
Published in News on January 6, 2022
The Bureau of Land Management just announced its plan to rip an additional 19,000 wild horses and burros from their families and home on the range and forcibly drug at least 2,300 wild horses with fertility control and release them back on to public lands through the end of September. Despite it being a new year and having new leadership, it's business as usual for the meat-industry loving rogue agency. If BLM achieves its goal, this would be the largest number of mares it would prevent from reproducing and the largest number of animals ever removed in one year.
"It didn't take long for Tracy Stone-Manning to sell-out America's wild horses," said Priscilla Feral, president of Friends of Animals. "As ranchers flood federal public lands—our lands—with millions of cattle and sheep destined for slaughterhouses, she says that BLM's terrifying roundups, handling standards and fertility control work are guided by compassion for wild horses and a desire to protect their well-being, as well as the health of our public lands. Her definition of compassion is a travesty as is the fact she never mentions livestock grazing. In truth, BLM is co-opted by the bloody meat industry and its measly grazing fees. It's an abomination."
According to BLM, there are approximately 79,568 wild horses residing in herd management areas. In those HMAs, there are roughly 669 grazing allotments partially or entirely in those boundaries, which house more than 4 million livestock, yet BLM has set meager and scientifically unproven numbers—appropriate management levels—for how many of America's beloved wild horses can exist in balance with other rangeland species and resources.
Friends of Animals recently submitted a rulemaking petition to Stone-Manning to halt wild horse roundups and convene an independent panel of scientists to take a rigorous look at the massive presence of cattle and sheep grazing withing herd management areas as a significant cause of range degradation. FoA wants the BLM to include the impact of cattle and sheep ranching on public land range assessments and immediately reduce the number of cattle and sheep within HMAs when any wild horse management is planned because of range deterioration, followed by a phaseout of all livestock as grazing permits expire.
"It's disturbing that BLM attempts to disguise its wild horse extinction plan as an effort to save wild horses so it can avoid public backlash," said Jennifer Best, director of Friends of Animals Wildlife Law Program. "As usual, the agency ignores the truth – that wild horses are not overpopulated and it has commodified our public lands for the economic benefit of a few in the meat industry, contributing to the climate crisis and the degradation of our public lands. If BLM truly had the best interest of wild horses and other wildlife in mind it would leave them alone. Studies continue to pile up showing that horses and burros can help the ecosystem during periods of drought. It is time for BLM to get its head out of the sand."
If implemented, FoA's proposal would restore protections intended by Congress, and would likely dramatically reduce, if not end, wild horse roundups. That means herds are kept intact, respected and cherished. If the BLM denies the petition, FoA will likely take the agency to court.
FoA is also fighting the state of Utah's brazen anti-wild horse position. The state recently filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit FoA filed against the BLM challenging four of the agency's 10-year management plans that authorize fertility control and ongoing, multiple roundups of wild horses from six herd management areas, including Utah's Muddy Creek and Onaqui Mountain HMAs. The hearing on Utah's motion is Jan. 7.
FoA is opposed to fertility control because information is now available regarding the unintended—and previously undisclosed—side effects of it on both targeted mares and wild horses in general. It not only shows unreasonable adverse effects, but also indicates the use of PZP on wild horses likely violates the Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971.
Friends of Animals has become the leading national wild horse protection organization. You can read more about our court victories for wild horses and our ongoing litigation here.
