My first professional tournament was in Hawaii. I was very nervous the first day on the first tee, but after I teed off I was fine. My coach from IMG academy in Florida traveled to Hawaii with me and caddied for me. He was a little bit nervous also. I was excited to make the cut and also have my parents come from Okinawa, Japan to watch me play. After the tournament, I went Tokyo for a week to practice and relax.
Next, I flew to Thailand for the Honda LPGA Thailand. I loved the course and was very excited to have a sixth-place finish. After Thailand, I went to Okinawa for a few days to visit my family, my best friends, and my dog Hime (Queen).
I can't wait to get back on Tour at the Corona Championship in Mexico.
I'll let you know what happens in my travels and tournaments.
See you.

Hello, we recently had the bathroom renovated in our 100+ year old house and had a new water baseboard heater installed. Yesterday we turned on the heat for the first time since we moved in and since the renovation and the bathroom heater is not working. The other original heaters on the third flood where the bathroom is located are working fine. I did some reading where it was suggested that one bleed the heater, however I see no valve anywhere on the new baseboard heater. I should also mention that I went to the second floor and tested the exposed pipe that feeds the bathroom radiator on the third floor, and it only warms up at the very bottom, the top is cold. Please help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think you have enough water in your system. There should be a gauge on the furnance - it has a pointer shows the current water level, and another that shows the 'full' level. Get the plumber / contractor to come back and fill / bleed the system. |
Hi guys, I took a bunch of pictures and uploaded them to photobucket at the link below. You can zoom in on them there or if needed I can provide larger versions. Hope these can help you help me haha. Thanks a lot! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/crortega9/heater/ |

You stated that this is a new installation with your rehab. Call your installer and explain that you have not previously had to use the heat, but now that you have tried it, you find that radiator is not working. As was mentioned above, it is probably just something simple like bleeding air from the system or adjusting the water level and your installers are fully aware of that, BUT- At this time it is not a DIY project because any changes you make to the system could void your warranty. |

Anyone know of a reliable source for Hornbeam? We're replacing a labyrinth of Miscanthus planted along the tops of 18" earthen berms & need about 60 plants of reasonable size/cost.
Also considering fast growing evergreens since time/labor aren't an issue but cost is- we've no intention of ordering 60 tiny seedlings from the UK & cuttings haven't worked out at all. Really tragic how few people use this plant in American landscapes. Cheers & thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Which Hornbeam are you searching for? With the reference to UK you are probably looking for the european one but there is a native hornbeam also. Several nurseries are supposed to carry the American one including Forest Farm |
I was looking for European Hornbeam and/or European Beech. We've grown the native & it isn't quite as... well mannered. Thanks for the tip- called up Forest Farm & they didn't even have the American version. Still looking but I'm inches away from having a friend ship a few dozen from the UK. Perhaps going through a landscape architect is the key? This is starting to feel like searching for Heleborus when I was 16, in the mid-nineties when they were still hard to get- I ended up ordering Heleborus SEEDS from the UK. |

NAGPUR: Power franchisee Spanco has started a pilot project in Manewada area wherein advanced electricity meters will be installed at households, shops, transformers and 11 KV feeders. The company would analyze the results of the working of these advanced meters and then take a decision about installation of more such meters.
These meters will enable Spanco to reduce power theft by monitor the power consumption of any consumer online. "We will replace the existing meter. The new meter will be connected to our central server. The power consumption by every consumer will be recorded and if anybody tries to tamper his meter, the server will immediately record it. This will help us in nabbing the culprit," Spanco commercial chief Asit Tyagi told the media on Thursday. He assured that Spanco would not charge anything from the consumers for installing these meters.
He further said that these meters use AMI technology, which is the latest in the world. "Our company is the first in the country to use these meters."
Tyagi further said that the company plans to install these meters at every level so that energy consumption at 11 KV feeders, distribution transformers as well as individual consumers was known. "This will ensure perfect energy audit and accounting and in the long run will reduce the distribution losses."
Once all the existing meters are replaced by AMI meters, Spanco will discontinue the system of manual billing. "Currently disputes arise over meter reading taken by billing staffers. This will no longer be the case once online reading is taken. We will intimate about monthly consumption and issue the bill to the consumers by SMSes," he said.
The data will be transferred from individual meters to the central server via the existing power cables. No new cables will be required for this process. Spanco officials said that the cost of data transfer using AMI technology was far less as compared to GPRS technology.
At present, many utilities use AMR technology in energy meters. This is costlier than AMI and is less effective. Most utilities in developed countries have now shifted to AMI technology.

In "A Place of Wholeness," a Tapestry of Faith program
Explain that participants will now have the opportunity to reflect on, then write or draw in response to what they have experienced and discussed in the workshop. The following is a framework for reflecting, but they are free to reflect in any way that is helpful for them.
Ask them to make three columns in their journals:
(world view) (loyalty of my heart) (way of life)
Invite them to consider their faith journey up to this point in time in these terms.
An example might be:
1) I believe that my faith is an ever-changing journey.
2) I feel challenged by my faith community.
3) I act by sharing my journey with others.
Explain that they can make as many statements as they have time for now and they can always continue during the reflection time in future workshops. Invite them to draw or represent their reflections visually if they prefer.
Offer the following reflection questions related to the theme of the day: What stage of faith development am I at right now? Where do I hope to be in ten years?
For more information contact web @ uua.org.

text: Cataracts change slowly over many years and because of this slow progression it usually is difficult to appreciate the changes that occur over time. Patients can adjust and accommodate to these changes and yet may not realize how much their vision is affected. When these changes first occur it may be necessary to change your glasses. As the cataract worsens your glasses will no longer help and cataract surgery may be necessary. The only way to know if you have visually significant cataracts is to have a complete eye exam. Symptoms may include: glare from oncoming headlights, difficulty with reading, cloudy vision, trouble seeing at night, frequent changes in your eyeglasses, the sense of looking through a dirty window. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a special intraocular lens. This lens becomes a permanent part of your eye. Cataract surgery in one of the most common procedures performed in the U.S. today. It is also one of the safest and most effective. When a cataract becomes visually significant, our board certified eye doctors are here to help with the best in cataract technology. We use no stitches, needles around the eyes and our patients are able to stay in their own comfortable clothes and return home the very same day with little to no discomfort. We also use standard as well as premium or lifestyle intraocular implants designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses.

Diabetes Camp-The Best Thing to Happen to My Son
My son attended Camp Sweeney in Gainesville, Texas, for a week at Christmas time and it changed his life.
He came home upbeat and very confident about himself and his diabetes. His endocrinologist happens to be the camp director and he is wonderful. He helped the kids learn and have lots of fun.
My son is the only kid at his junior high of over 800 students who has diabetes. At the camp, however, everyone had diabetes.

Former Rezulin User Switches to Actos-Now off Insulin
I have been on insulin for over two years, taking three shots a day.
When Rezulin was taken off the market, my physician put me on Actos (45 mg per day). After I was on it for two weeks, my blood glucose started dropping dramatically. By the third week, I was officially off insulin.
I can't believe how Actos has worked. I am amazed and thrilled.
I am also watching my diet closely.

Show More Respect for Diabetes Research
I wanted to respond to your editorial in the May issue of Diabetes Health.
First of all, regarding the American Diabetes Association (ADA), you are correct that their mission is broadr than just supporting research. The organization is also very active in educating persons with diabetes and those at risk for developing diabetes about ways to lower their risk of complications.
In addition to research and education, the ADA serves as a major clearinghouse for advocacy efforts for persons with diabetes. They have been very involved in state-by-state efforts to get legislation passed requiring insurance coverage for diabetes supplies and diabetes education. To date, I believe 39 states have passed such bills, in part thanks to organized efforts supported by the ADA.
The ADA has also been a strong voice advocating for new Medicare coverage for diabetes supplies for all those with diabetes (not just those on insulin) and for diabetes education, as well as insulin pumps for type 1 patients who are on Medicare.
The ADA has also organized advocates for increasing NIH funding so that it approaches a more equitable level in terms of numbers of persons affected by the disease, compared to diseases such as AIDS and cancer. The ADA has set a goal to triple its research funding in the next 5 years.
Regarding your statement that there is very little to show for the money that has gone into research-I'm flabbergasted. To focus just on the NIH: the studies on diabetic retinopathy and the effectiveness of laser therapy were funded by the NIH. Perhaps the Lions Club donated some money to these studies, but the papers discussing the results of the studies list 17 NIH contracts that funded the multi-center study. Secondly, how can you say this is "the only helpful discovery"? How about the DCCT, which showed for the first time that all the effort that people with diabetes put into intensive self-management actually pays off? This $140-million study was funded by the NIH. So was the Collaborative Study Group trial that showed for the first time that captopril protected the kidneys from progression of diabetic nephropathy. The Diabetes Prevention Program and the DPT-1, both very important trials looking at prevention of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, are NIH trials. The NIH has just embarked on a very important trial to look at whether intensive glycemic control alters the rate of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes.
These NIH trials are only the tip of the iceberg, in that they are relatively easy to look at and see the benefits in terms of clinical care. There are thousands more studies that are basic science studies that may not impact you today, but will be critical for understanding the disease and its complications better. Only through understanding the causes of a problem can a solution be found. Those of us who live in the developed world no longer expect that women will have a 1 in 20 chance of dying during childbirth, or that more than half of babies born will die before they turn 5. Because we take our health for granted doesn't mean that we "don't see benefit" from years of research that led to clean water, vaccines, antibiotics, surgical procedures etc.
I would challenge you to really look at diabetes care today and how it differs from that of 40 or even 15 years ago, and recognize that research and the dollars that support it are a huge factor in that progress. For children being diagnosed with diabetes today, the future looks even brighter.

The Rule of 15 Makes No Sense
I would like to comment on Dana Arnold's answer to Ronald Wiegand on treating low blood sugars in the April issue of Diabetes Health.
I have had type 1 diabetes for 59 years. In regards to the "rule of 15," I don't feel it is logical at all. You would not treat a BG of 70 mg/dl the way you would treat a BG of 40. We are not all alike. The best answer, I have found, is in Richard Bernstein's "The Glucograf Method", outlined on page 191. He recommends that each person calibrate him- or herself to find out how much of a blood glucose rise results from each gram of fast carbohydrate.
I weigh 100 pounds and am moderately active. I usually get a rise of 7 mg/dl for one gram of Dextrose. Dr. Bernstein's book suggests an average value for most adults would be around 5 mg/dl for 1 gram of Dextrose. My own experience tells me this value can change, but you only need to be in the right ballpark.
Thus, it follows that 15 grams of carbs would produce a rise of maybe 100 mg/dl, which is too much unless the blood sugar is very low indeed.
Another important point to remember is that although Dextrose and glucose are best for a low, they should be followed by a slower carb that lasts. I've had excellent results by getting just enough Dextrose to bring me up to 100 mg/dl. Then, I add a few grams of slower carbs like crackers. This amount depends on many factors, of course, such as how soon the next meal is, how active I have been, etc.
Hertha Whitlow
St. Joseph, Minnestota
Dana Arnold responds:
I applaud the reader for her diligence in caring for her diabetes. For other readers who want technical instruction, you can calibrate your personal blood glucose rise as the reader mentioned. For many persons with diabetes, a general rule of thumb, like the rule of 15, is safe and appropriate.
While I agree that the rule of 15 may overtreat a hypoglycemic episode, it is only meant to be used as a guideline. When a person feels hypoglycemic, I recommend testing, treating with 15 grams of glucose, then retesting in 15 minutes. This way, they will find out if 15 grams of glucose is adequate. Also, I would not recommend treating a blood sugar of 70 mg/dl but rather, I recommend eating a meal or snack containing both carbohydrate and protein.
Using a guide written by John Walsh, PA, CDE. I use the guideline that one gram of glucose raises the blood sugar three, four or five points for weights of 200 pounds, 150 pounds, or 100 pounds. respectively. For example, if people feel hypoglycemic, test their blood sugar and get a reading of 40 mg/dl, they should treat that blood sugar with 15 grams of glucose. This should result in a blood sugar rise of 45 to 75 points or to a blood sugar 85 to 115 mg/dl, which is a desirable level.

My Success with the Low-carbohydrate Regime
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1957 at the age of 6, and started on one insulin injection daily, which was the usual method, because doctors tried to minimize the number of injections per day for children.
Because my doctor had type 1 diabetes and felt that good blood glucose control should be the major aim, my number of injections was increased to two each day until 1984. I increased it to three each day until 1994. Since then, I have been taking four each day.
I started blood glucose self-testing in 1980, and of course before that, I was testing urine. I now test four times each day (using a plasma-calibrated meter) and I also do low-impact exercise two to three times per week. Apart from mild background retinopathy, I do not have other major diabetes complications that interfere with my life.
In 1998, I became aware of a new approach- the low-carbohydrate, low-glycemic index food plan. I also visited a diabetes center in New York that specializes in this. Its director (Dr. Richard Bernstein) has had type 1 diabetes for over 50 years.
Bernstein adopted this food plan many years ago after a lot of experimentation, and he reported that his diabetes control improved significantly. I was also interested in this approach as I had observed over many years that when my carbohydrate intake was less, my blood sugars improved. This further encouraged me to try this very different food plan. I was intrigued by reports of normal HbA1c's in Dr. Bernstein's book, news reports and Internet site.
Prior to this, I did not adopt this approach because the generally accepted and recommended regimen was a high-carbohydrate food plan and there was no support or encouragement to adopt this major change.
By 1998, the low-carbohydrate diet was being discussed a lot in the United States, and there was increasing discussion in the diabetes journals and at conferences.
I experimented a lot and have reduced, since July 1998, the total amount of daily carbohydrates from about 200 grams to approximately 50 grams, which is all of a slowly absorbed type.
Here are some of the results:
- My insulin dose has fallen by over 35 percent and continues to fall.
- My HbA1c hasimproved by 15% to 6.9% (range 6.3-7.4%) and there is much less variation in daily blood glucose.
- Hypoglycemia is much less severe.
- Weight has dropped from 84 kg to 78 kg.
- Retinopathy has stabilized (my ophthalmologist made particular note of this new trend in its progression)
- Blood pressure and lipids remain normal.
- Hunger has decreased (insulin is an appetite stimulant and this regimen has resulted in much less insulin).
Also, there is much more motivation and less frustration and my subjective quality of life has improved significantly. I will be giving a detailed talk and slide presentation to a Japanese Diabetes Education Center on my experiences with this system of blood glucose improvement.
I do not regard this food plan as "radical" or a "fad." It should not be confused with the extreme food plans which are periodically publicized, especially in America.
The significantly reduced insulin dose has been a major contributor to the reduction in hunger. I no longer feel hungry during the day, however, there is some hunger in the evening. As I continue to experiment with the food plan and the type and range of meals, particularly in the evening, I am confident that this problem will also be significantly reduced. I am very excited about continuing to be able to lower my HbA1c further.
Lowering daily carbohydrate intake makes sense on many levels. Why eat so much of a food type that is at the root of blood glucose instability and which needs much more insulin to try to take care of, which in turn creates further problems? There doesn't appear to be any evidence supporting high carbohydrate intake over lower intake in terms of blood glucose control, yet this is what is being generally advocated and promoted. Also, kidney disease seems to be subsequent to high blood glucose, rather than to higher protein intake, according to professionals such as Dr. Bernstein and his expert colleagues.
The major pharmaceutical manufacturer, Bayer, now endorses Dr. Bernstein's approach, and includes information about it with meters it sells in America. It also cites persons with diabetes who use this approach as "living proof of the success of this method".
Smaller amounts of carbohydrate require smaller amounts of insulin and this results in more predictability and less variation in blood glucose levels.

Welcome to The Genetic Link, a blog providing new insights into DNA and RNA sample collection by DNA Genotek. DNA Genotek is a subsidiary of OraSure Technologies, Inc.
Current Articles | RSS Feed
This month, PLoS ONE published a new research study that I think will interest readers of The Genetic Link. The study, titled "Array-Based Whole-Genome Survey of Dog Saliva DNA Yields High Quality SNP Data", was written by Jennifer S. Yokoyama, Carolyn A. Erdman and Steven P. Hamilton of the Department of Psychiatry and Institute for Human Genetics, at the University of California, San Francisco. The study is interesting for several reasons.
The authors evaluate the performance of whole blood and Oragene•ANIMAL DNA collection kits for GWAS studies. DNA from all samples was analyzed using Illumina's Infinium Canine SNP20 genotyping array. The researchers' experience suggested that owners were more conducive to returning Oragene•ANIMAL kits than to agree to a blood sample. Surveys sent out with the kits also indicated that the owners found the collection to be very easy. The sample collection was successful for all participants and the process took less than 10 minutes.
High-throughput whole genome array genotyping was performed with outstanding results. The samples achieved very high overall genotype call rates (>99.5%) with very good concordance. They found that on average, genotypes from DNA derived from blood and saliva from a single dog matched >99.9% of the time*.
The researchers found the Oragene•ANIMAL DNA collection kits very favourable due to their ease-of-use and non-invasive approach, making them a preferred method of sample collection for future studies. According to the researchers: "Our results demonstrate that saliva collection from dogs is facile, convenient, and yields large amounts of high quality DNA that provide excellent performance on high-throughput whole genome arrays."
With Oragene•ANIMAL, researchers will be able to collect the number of samples required for GWAS studies and they can be confident of the quality and quantity of the DNA and its performance for array-based studies.

With pain in their voices, two friends recently shared how their teenage kids weren't embracing their faith traditions. They had a healthy relationship with them but the kids were no longer buying into what the parents believed.
Could this be due to the new challenges that kids must navigate?
They're growing up in a multicultural, post-Christian world. I never dreamed that my own family would be made up of Anglo, Chinese, and African nationalities. Future success demands that this next generation collaborates and connects across these diverse boundaries. But to do so requires trust, and trust demands that we treat others legitimately.
Our kids must learn to flex with their traditions. No, this doesn't mean that they need to become Hindu, Agnostic, Muslim, or Mormon. But it does demand that they have a softer interface with those who are. That could be why hardened or misplaced traditions scare them.
Christians often have their own exclusive look, vocabulary, hangouts, and friend groups. These internally-focused and sometimes outdated traditions can create mistrust between us and others. Could it be that our kids are fearful that this mistrust may harm vital relationships?
Could we be inadvertently forcing them to choose between church relationships and others? Or church relationships and an occupation?
Can we learn to walk close to the heart of God while making sure that people who aren't still feel legitimate?

SRT Viper GTS vs. Chevy Corvette ZR1 shootout
Last month, Motor Trend took over Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to perform one of the first head-to-head comparisons between the current Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and its newly redesigned nemesis, the SRT Viper. We've already gone over the article and amazing photographs of this epic all-American battle, and now, MT has provided a video of the deed in its latest "Head 2 Head" installment.
As we've already reported, not only did the 'Vette come out victorious when it came to lapping Laguna Seca, but it also set a new track record for a production car with a time of 1:33.70 beating the previous time by 0.2 seconds and beating the Viper by more than two seconds. In straight-line performance, both cars ran an identical 11.4 seconds in a quarter mile sprint.
In the video, MT's drivers point out that the ZR1 has better braking and cornering on the track while the Viper's raw power and rough ride were mentioned on multiple occasions. One of the interesting notes is that the video points out the "deafening" cabin noise and "rock-hard" seats in the Viper, but SRT responded by saying both issues will be fixed by the time the car goes on sale.
Scroll down to watch the whole video showing both the Viper and the 'Vette tackle one of the toughest tracks.

i have a couple of questions.. 1st year doing tomatoes and think i am doing something wrong 1) i have (3) tomato plants, spaced around 24" apart.. are they still too close? it may be correct, but looking at this picture it seems congested, but may be normal 2) they've been planted for approx 2 months and they are still green.. they are the heinz, romas, and heirlooms.. the heirlooms are huge, but still green.. should all these be red by now? or will stay green for awhile and redden up here soon? i appreciate the help.. thanks !! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes they are awfully close, especially for using that type of cage. 3' spacing would be better next year. if you could give us the exact name of the varieties you planted it would help. There are several varieties of Heinz and "romas" and heirloom refers to the history of the plant not the variety. As to turning red, it takes approx. 6-7 weeks from the time the fruit forms for it to ripen and turn red so you still have time to go. Be patient. :) Dave |
Dave is rignt on all counts, but I'll add this: There are some heirloom and open pollinated tomatoes that don't get red. There are white ones, yellow ones, orange ones, the so called "purple" and "black" ones, and even some that are green when ripe. If you have a green when ripe, orange, yellow or white, you might be waiting a long time for them to turn red and they'd get over ripe. If you have one of the purple or blacks, you might think they have gone bad, when they haven't. I'm just sayin'...... Betsy |
Good point Betsy since we don't know the actual variety names. Dave |

Your location would help as well. Tomatoes only ripen between 58 and 85 DEG F. Temperatures outside those turn off the production of the ripening factors. Tomatoes require 1300 to 1400 Growing Degree Days (GDD) to ripen. Depending on the temperatures a given day can be 28 to 60. There is a formula that requires you to know the maximum and minimum temperatures. Any temperature below 50 DEG F does nothing for us. |
I plant mine no more than 24" apart, but they never look this bushy....I stake them and also live north so now I have buds..no toms yet...all heirlooms many colours.this year I planted about 30...and gave away the same amount...cheers, martha/zucchini |

Presidential suite? Please.
You may not get the nuclear launch codes, but you can now experience what it's like to walk a mile in President Obama's shoes — by wearing them.
Yes, you can now rent out President Obama's six-bedroom Hyde Park home (vacant since the election), with the proceeds from your stay going to benefit the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless.
First, you'll slip into the presidential slippers and wear Obama's actual robe before sitting down for morning pancakes imprinted with the presidential seal.
Slap a flag pin onto your suit before heading to the exact Oval Office replica, where you'll receive a security briefing from a mustachioed David Axelrod look-a-like.
Then make your rounds haranguing reporters in the press briefing room, where Ed Henry and Jake Tapper impersonators throw questions your way.
After a few rounds of hoops, you'll end the day taking a Bo doppelganger for a walk around the hood, where you might even stop to kiss a few babies.
Oh, and Happy April Fools' Day, Mr. President. We hope you have a good one.

Naengmyeon means "cold noodles" in English, and refers to a Korean dish made of long, thin noodles and served cold. It's very popular in Korea all year 'round but especially in summertime, because it's so cold and refreshing. There are 2 main types: Mul-naengmyeon are soup-based noodles served in a cold icy broth, and bibim-naengmyeon are cold noodles served in a hot and spicy sauce without much soup broth at all.
This recipe is for bibim-naengmyeon, and here's the recipe for mul-naengmyeon, the other dish in the video. Due to the background music in the video, the sound has been removed by YouTube, but I'll remake the video soon, I promise!
- ½ package of buckwheat noodles
- mustard powder
- cucumber
- Korean pear
- egg
- onion
- garlic
- ginger
- corn syrup (or rice syrup)
- hot pepper flakes
- hot pepper paste
- sesame seeds
- green onion
- salt
- soy sauce
Prepare toppings
- Mustard paste (optional):
Mix 1 tbs of mustard powder and ½ tbs water. Put it in a warm place to ferment it for 5 minutes. Set aside. - Cucumber:
Slice ½ cup's worth of cucumber into thin strips. Add a ½ pinch of salt, ½ ts of sugar, and ½ ts of vinegar. Mix it up and and set it aside. - Pear:
Slice ½ cup's worth into thin strips. You can use either Korean pear or bosc pear. Soak it in water and add ½ ts sugar so it doesn't change color. Set it aside. - Egg:
Hardboil an egg, cut it in half, and set it aside.
Make hot and spicy sauce
- Blend 1 cup's worth of peeled pear, about ¼ cups' worth of onion, 1 ts garlic, 1 ts ginger, ⅓ cup of corn or rice syrup, ¼ cup hot pepper flakes, 2 tbs hot pepper paste, 1 tbs sesame seeds, 3 green onions, 2 ts of salt, and 1 tbs soy sauce. Keep in the refrigerator.
Make the noodles
- Put a half package of buckwheat noodles into a big pot of boiling water. Stir them with a wooden spoon so that the noodles don't stick to each other. Keep boiling for about 3-5 minutes until cooked.
- When the noodles are cooked, move the pot to the sink and pour cold water over them. Drain some of the water out and pour more cold water over them again. This will help the noodles get chewier.
- Rinse and drain the noodles a couple of times until not slippery. Put the noodles into a basket or colander.
Put it all together
- Put some noodles into a serving bowl.
- Add some hot and spicy sauce, pear, cucumber, mustard paste, and half a hardboiled egg on top.
- Drizzle about 1 ts of sesame oil over top, add some ice cubes to the bowl, and serve cold.

The Ocean City Police Department's two new K-9 teams recently graduated from a multi-week training program at Castle K-9 training facility in centralPennsylvania. Both PFC
Daniel Jacobsand K-9 partner Jaxx and PFC Michael Kellyand K-9 partner Koda are currently certified by the North American Police Work Dog Association as patrol and drug detection police K-9's. They join an elite group of canine patrol teams, which are an integral part of the Ocean City Police Department.
Jaxx, a 14-month-old Sheppard-Malawa mix and Koda, a 12-month old Sheppard mix, are specially trained and come to the Ocean City Police Department from Czechoslovakia, where they received specialized training for law enforcement duties. In addition to their training in Czechoslovakia, the K-9s and their partners received additional patrol/narcotics schooling, which develops the capabilities and physical conditioning of both the handler and K-9 alike. Upon completion of their training both K9 teams were certified by the North American Police Working Dog Association and the Maryland Police and Corrections Training Commission.
"This unit has been a vital part of the OCPD for more than four decades," said Chief Bernadette DiPino. "I am confident that the two new K9 teams will contribute to the long standing tradition of excellence associated with this specialty unit. I as well as every member of the OCPD look forward to working with our new K9 partners."
Once on patrol, the new K-9 teams are authorized to respond to calls for service, and are often among the first specialized units to be called to a scene. Their specific skills, including apprehension techniques, obedience, narcotics detection, searching and tracking, are a critical asset to the Ocean City Police Department. In addition to their duties and responsibilities on the road, K-9 units participate in continual training, community events and public relations functions, self-initiated patrol and/or rendering assistance to state and county law enforcement patrols in the Ocean City area.

Thanks, Keith, Joe & AZ! Sorry it took me so long to get back here. Joe & AZ, Hmm...problem with the dryer? As soon as I flip the switch at the circuit board, the dryer comes back on. Why doesn't the dryer just stop working if it's on the fritz? Keith, the dryer is electric, the breaker, 30 amps. Don't know how to answer your other question. Thanks for any additional feedback. |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Sat, May 22, 10 at 13:29
I also suspect the dryer. Dryers typically require pushing a start button or twisting a knob to start any action after any shutdown, including power failures of any kind. It helps keep children from crawling into the drum, closing the door, and having the dryer start without further deliberate action. Dryer elements of some types can come loose from their mounts and bounce into contact with the (hopefully) grounded dryer housing. That will often trip the breaker. Get the dryer properly repaired- it definitely has problems. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Sat, May 22, 10 at 16:06
The dryer should have a rating plate/sticker on it. Mine is visible when I open the door. |
It could be as simple as one section of the heating element has burned in two. They are sometimes shaped like a spring and could occasionally shake around and contact their metal enclosure which would trip the breaker. Or maybe not. |
"As soon as I flip the switch at the circuit board, the dryer comes back on. Why doesn't the dryer just stop working if it's on the fritz?" This would be true if the wonderful world of mechanical machines either work or don't work, but like people, it's not a black or white thing unfortunately. Explanation: it's borderline sucking too much electricity, and so when u hit a bump..... I too would fault the heating coil. Replace if not too expensive should solve the prob. |

Thanks, Busdriver. You know, in 2007, I had a repairman come out. He was here about 3 minutes & asked, "Where are your circuit breakers?" I lead him to the garage, he flipped the switch, & then asked for $65.00 for "fixing" my dryer. Great. That, btw, is how I learned to just go flip the switch. Priceless. Weemeister, thanks. Mine has two series of #s. Line #1 reads: 120/240v 3 wire 60HZ 5600 W 24A Line # reads: 120/208V 3 wire 60HZ 4400W 22A. Also, it's a General Electric, fwiw. Groundrod, you seem to think it's the dryer too. Thanks for the info. Bob, well said. I really don't want another repairman out here. Would it be o.k. to wait a few more years, just keep flipping the switch a while longer, then get new machines? I was planning to replace both laundry machines in a few years, but would prefer not to buy right now unless I really have to. Is this a fire hazard? Thanks again everybody! |
Anytime something trips a breaker on a continual basis is a fire hazard. A tripping breaker means something is wrong and needs to be repaired. |
"Would it be o.k. to wait a few more years, just keep flipping the switch a while longer, then get new machines?" Your insurance should pay to replace the machines after the fire. It will pay to your estate if you do not make it through. |
Sometimes when that stuff happens it's the breaker itself that may be ringing its own death knell. They do last a while but not forever.If the breaker is rated for 30AMPS( as would be the dryer) and is on a dedicated circut and your house is relatiely new, then I'm guessing that the wires aren't frayed and hence shorting out at their junction boxes or worse arcing somewhere within your walls. Take the money and get an electrician to look at it rather than trying to guess at it. Do some homework and then tell her the problem up front. That way when they try to explain the issue you have and idea of what they're talking about. Good Luck to you! |
"Take the money and get an electrician to look at it rather than trying to guess at it" The problem is far more likely to be in an ~23 year old appliance than anywhere else. Electricians do not normally work on appliances. |

Thanks, Hendricus, Zp, & Brick. This has happened maybe 4 times in 4 years. Happened twice, then went 2 yrs w/out incident, then it happened twice again recently which prompted me to post this thread. I must replace all of my original to the house appliances, kitchen items included, but am trying to get as much mileage as I can out of these 1980's models. I bought when the market was sky-high, over-paid for this house, so I need to think about getting the most for my money. Also need to think about re-sale value down the road. If I sell in 10 years, buyers will ask, "Why aren't the appliances updated?" if I buy them all now! The world of electronics is advancing & changing at a dizzying speed. Today's models will seem fuddy-duddy in five years. Having said that, I'm not planning to wait a full 10 years to replace! I want to get some enjoyment out of them too. In my last house I bought everything twice...two stove tops, two dishwashers, two fridges, in 13 years (but one washer/dryer...yay!) Don't want to go through that again. |
Every once in a while I do read in here about a breaker that has become "weak" over time. I've never seen it myself, but I read it often enough to believe it must happen. What better candidate than one that has been powering a long-cycle heating load PLUS the inrush current of a motor, over and over again, for over 20 years? |
Some other thoughts that just came to mind... the dryer could possibly be pulling more than its intended current for reasons that aren't, directly, major issues, but should be remedied, if for no reason other than to stop the breaker from tripping. It's possible (but I think unlikely?) that some of the coils of the heating element could have shorted together, effectively reducing its resistance and increasing current. How about increased load on the motor? Drum bearings worn? Belt? Lots of dirt/grease/grime inside of there? Does it need some lubrication or is one of those "permanently-lubricated" deals? The repair cost of some of these parts would probably be enough to warrant a new machine, of course, but I do still think it's potentially worth investigating what is wrong with the dryer before just tossing it aside and buying a new one. |

Thanks, Pharkus. Interesting thoughts. Sounds like you think the dryer can be saved & the breaker may be the problem. I need a talented, trustworthy person to look at these things for me (oh, who won't charge an arm & a leg!) Will see who I can find out there. That's the really hard part...finding good people/helpers. Wish me luck! Thanks again, everyone. |

Posted by mburkett
I got this recipe from a chocolate class in a culinary program at a local JC years ago. I'm not sure where it originally came from but it's been a family favorite for many years. I'm not sure how well it would translate to a layer cake for decorating. If that's what you need, then I wouldn't use the marshmallows on top. (It makes it gooey & bumpy). I've only done it in a 9x13 pan I usually use Pepsi because I'm Pepsi loyal.Ingredients
- Cake 2 cups sugar 2 cups flour ½ cup vegetable oil 3 tablespoons cocoa 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter 1 cup Coke Classic ½ cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon pure vanilla 2 eggs 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows Coke Icing 1-pound box powdered sugar 1 stick (1/2 cup unsalted butter) 2 tablespoons cocoa 1/3 cup Coke Classic 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ½ cup chopped nuts, optional
For Cake: Grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan. Set oven rack in center of oven and preheat to 350. Mix sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. In a saucepan, heat oil, cocoa, butter, and Coke, stirring to dissolve mixture; then bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour hot mixture over dry ingredients. Beat well. Add remaining ingredients and beat well again. Marshmallows will not dissolve, and batter will be rather thin. Pour into a prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes. Dont worry if cake bakes unevenly. Frost while warm. For icing: Place sugar in a bowl. In a saucepan, bring butter, cocoa and Coke to a boil. Pour butter mixture over sugar and beat in vanilla and nuts. Spread immediately on warm cake.

PTR notes: I, for one, welcome our brief mage overlords {WoW}
Apr 14th 2007 9:13PM Savok,
5 man and solo PvE Poly owns...outside of that its 100% useless in raiding except for some cute gimmicky things (such as Domo).
5 man balance is basically irrelevant to any discussion in my opinion because most classes can already bring a lot to the table and don't have difficulty getting groups (except for hunters, which are so imba in PvP and solo PvE that they have nothing to whine about!)
The whole healing argument is really only relevant to PvP anyway as any mob that a mage can poly...the healing factor is almost never a concern.
PTR notes: I, for one, welcome our brief mage overlords {WoW}
Apr 14th 2007 12:08PM 1) Poly IS subject to some pretty intense diminishing returns.
2) Hard to break??? It breaks on ANY damage whatsoever, Fear/Horror does no.
3) Mages have no instant CC. Poly has a cast time.
Poly is incredibly easy to dispel/break out of. Poly is the only CC that you wait a few seconds before you get dispelled/use your trinket so you fully heal first. The mechanics are just plain not in sync with the rest of the game.
In 1v1 this is incredibly unfair because mages can burst so much if you give them 3-6 seconds to load up a huge pyro/fireball...but in group PvP this actually brings it in line with how CC is balanced in the rest of the game.
Do some 3v3 and 5v5 Arena and try to justify any use of Poly versus Fear and other CC.

YAY I am so happy I finally found a lip gloss that actually isn't unbearably sticky!!! Most of the time when I put on lipgloss, it looks good for like 10 minutes and then just feels way too sticky and gross unless I put lip balm over it. This one surprised me...it's not sticky at all!!! And it smells really good!! And they aren't much money. The color isn't my favorite on me--it's pretty, just not my favorite, but I will definitely be buying other colors of this gloss. YAY!!
I love this lipgloss!! The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't stay on long enough. Everything else about it is great though; it gives your lips a great shine without overdoing anything, smells awesome, and feels great- no stickiness.
omg this is one of my favourite lip glosses
it has a nice smell, and if you get it in your mouth it tastes good too :) lmfao
it has a nice color, a coral pink and light shimmer :D
This is one of my favourite lip glosses! It was cheap, it is very moisturising, and the sheer colour is very pretty and flattering. It is a shiny gloss with a light fruity smell and flavour that really doesn't smell artificial to me, which is nice. It has a very light and thin consistency, and isn't sticky, which I also really like. The colour is a light shimmery shell pink, and is very flattering on pale skin tones (like me!) because it is very sheer, but still creates a pink, luminous tint on your lips! I think it is fine for use during the day, but you can layer it over a darker or more intense colour at night for a super-shiny, pretty look!
This is one of the worst lip glosses I've used! The packaging is average like most lip glosses. The color is a sheer pink but it looked like a clear gloss on the lips. It has a very fruity scent...almost like lip smackers. No matter how much I put on It felt so slippery and thin on my lips... It's not moisturizing. and it made my lips tingled!!! ...like I am about to have an allergic reaction to the lip gloss (which I didn't, thankfully!) This lip gloss did nothing but to keep my lips smelling fruity. And I am too paranoid about the tingling on my lips...this is going into the trash.
This product added the perfect transparent colour (dark peach), with quite a bit of shine. It doesn't last forever, although that is to be expected of a lip gloss. I think it works well for going out in the evening, but it's a bit too shiny for daytime. Also, my lips are quite chapped, and when I wore it alone, it tingled (not in a good way), so make sure you wear some sort of lip balm/base underneath if your lips are dry. I will not buy it again, since I value simplicity, but I recommend it for optimum shine with a splash of colour.
P.S.: It will draw extra attention to your lips, so beware of that.
It's not sticky at all, and the colour's awesome! It's shiny, but not overly frosty, and it gives my lips a natural pink tint and shimmer that I absolutely love. It's a great basic lip gloss, I carry it around with me everywhere, and I'm actually thinking of getting a second tube to keep in my pencil case!
I really like this lipgloss. It is not sticky at all and has a pleasant smell. It is super shiny which is something that I was looking for. I wish that this could be more pigmented but oh well. =P
More reviews by beccajumppnonitt
For a drugstore brand this is a great lipgloss! All covergirl lipgloss is great, but this is by far my favorite. I like shimmery, fruity tasting/smelling lipgloss and this is just that! I love the light pink color of it, it compliments my fair skin and blue eyes so well. It's a great price for the quality and I'd reccomend it to anyone! I'd say it's just as good if not better then my Victorias Secret "very sexy" lip gloss.
More reviews by almostmrsparker
I needed new lip gloss, had just run out of the AmazeMint and wanted to try something new. I saw the Fruit Spritzers and decided to try it. My boyfriend actually picked out the color (he said, "Natural looking lips are sexy"). It is just enough shine and color to make a difference, but not over the top. Very natural, very sophisticated. I love it! Plus, it is not sticky at all!!!

As our regular readers might know, your humble servant played a fair deal of FPS games – back in the halcyon days of youth i.e. before I turned f*cking thirty god d*mmit – and despite being brought kicking an screaming into the relentless cruelty of adulthood, he still finds solace within the warm, bullet-riddled womb of the genre. Yet for all the enduring love, some of us in the old-school camp still yearn for the days of yore. Don't get me wrong: i'm all in favor of eschewing the "shoot the giant thing in front of you, so that you can get a bigger gun to shoot an even more giant thing" style of FPS from time to time. Deus Ex showed that FPS titles can explore intricate storylines; BioShock explored the world of Objectivism, and the potential consequences thereof. Meanwhile, Invisible War taught us that techno-magic can turn energy into either rockets or shotgun shells.
Still, every now and again, one has the nagging feeling that the FPS zeitgeist has left something behind: I call this the "Luciferian monstrosities from beyond the vale of human understanding, spat forth from the pit of Hell (and Mars, but mainly Hell) to lay waste to the cities of man" factor. Such is the topic of "Two Best Friends Funtime Adventures": a carefree, yet perilous jaunt through the days of yore. Indeed, armed with a shotgun, several keycards, and the trusty fire axe, these intrepid warriors venture forth into the most loathe of realms: YouTube.
So check out the latest(ish) bit of audiovisual above, and for those of you watching in that weird little sliver of space-time known as "the future," happy Friday!

I'm not limited, but I've found a great tool that I suspect might be useful to some of you, and everybody else, too.
Get one of those kid's plastic sleds like you see all over the place. Get a piece of clothesline type rope about 10 feet long. If they're not alreay there, drill two holes on each side, toward the front, on the "lip" edge of the sled. Just a wee bit larger than the rope. Two on each side to spread the load around and not rip the plastic. Tie a stopper type knot in one end of the rope(figure 8 sort works). Starting at the back of one side, weave this through the back hole, through the front one, around to the other side's front hole, on to the back, and tie another stopper knot. I'm making this sound more complex than it is: Tie some rope on it to make a harness loop for you to pull it. Again, I'm not limited, but I find this is makes moving and hauling things around so easy. The sled is at ground level, so you never need to lift things as in a garden cart or a wheelbarrow, the usual tools. They indestructable. Up and down stairs, over gravel. I move tremendously sized transpanted shrubs around with it, no problem. Takes up little storage space.Weighs nothing. If you can walk, step inside the harness loop, place the rope around your waist, and pull. There's no stress on your back. You got the idea. Good luck. |

I rather like that idea. I hate having to make many trips from house to garden to being supplies out. I could do it all in one that way. Fireraven9 |
I had one of those round aluminum ones as a kid, and I think this is a great idea. Really light, and easy to pull. I am thinking of a million things I could do with it. Gotta go and write them down, unlike my PAST GOOD MEMORY, I don't remember anything these days. Thanks again, Sheila |
Great idea, hayseedman! Will work well for moving mounds of mulch around, and many other things. Now to *find* one when winter's waning and spring stuff is on store shelves everywhere. |
- Posted by hayseedman zone5/6 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 18, 02 at 23:21
Your eye will start to see them at the tag sales in the summer for a couple of dollars or so. Happy hunting. |
I use a childs little red wagon, everything goes in it. If i don't finish my planting that day,, in the shed it goes till the next day.I leave everything in it all spring and summer. Works great ! |
Another source (on the cheap) is to go to a couple garage sales!!!! I have used small tarps for the same purpose, but I really like this idea a great deal more!!!! THANKS!!!!! |
Great idea! I will check the yard sales this weekend... |
I have a bad back, and I used to knock a bale of hay down on the sled (or if I missed, then roll it) and drag it out to the horses. Couldn't have done chores without it! |
I have used a child's snow sled for about 4 years to carry hay to my horses. It does get a little heavy with a full bale and my land is not level. I usually break the hay bales into several flakes. I pile the flakes on the sled and secure them on with the elastic bungee cords that have the metal hooks on each end. The hooks fit nicely on the edge of the sled. That way the flakes don't fall off. The one I have been using is the tabogan kind and I also bought a round one to haul rocks from the field to my yard to use for edging the flower beds. The sleds are so handy for lots of things. Judith |

After moving rocks around in a sled all day, I remembered another nice thing you can do with the sled. I've used a long six or eight inch wide strong board as a ramp to get heavy things in and out of the back of trucks, and I just used one to ramp up some large stone steps. |
I love this!! We thought we were so smart when we started using our broken sleds (repaired with duct tape of course) for my 9 year old to clean out the rabbit cage - It made both of our lives a lot easier - He will actually do it and nag time is cut in half! Glad to hear others are using this fabulous tool!!! - Crey |
this is a wonderful forum, and a great idea for hauling without lifting. I am really starting to look forward to gardening again. |
Thanks for the idea! I have severe arthritis in both knees, and so I am always looking for ways to make gardening easier. I will certainly try using a plastic sled to haul things. My husband made a garden cart using an old tricycle stroller frame, PVC pipe, and wire fencing, and it works great; rolls easily with the large wheels and will fit between rows in the garden. |
I've had one in the garage for years and never thought to use it to move a huge Hosta 50ft. It would've made the job much easier. Now i'll keep it with my garden tools |
When I was a kid (in Vermont) it was my job to fill the woodboxes, and I wasn't tall/strong enough at that time to get good leverage on the wheelbarrow when the ground was wet, muddy, or snowy. The red plastic sled worked great, and as long as I didn't try to load it too high or pull too fast, I could fill it with enough to load the whole woodbox in one trip!.. I use the wagon now - we have a plastic one with big wheels, so the kids can help me haul things around the yard too. BUT I think I'll be looking for a sled too... Lynne |

I had to laugh at this idea because all spring I have been tossing that blue rubber sled thingy out of the way. Where ever I turned there it was! Think its like a puppy and was hinting best it could how to help me? |
- Posted by luna_llena_feliz (My Page) on Sat, Sep 1, 07 at 20:01
The plastic sled is a wonderful idea! My boyfriend found an old desk chair in the trash. The seat part was in bad shape but he took the wheels off - you know that pedestal thing with the wheels coming off of it. He attached a big plastic Rubbermaid tub to the top of it. It is nice because I can adjust the tub to my level - higher for pushing or lower for taking things out of. It works best on even surfaces because of the wheels. Sometimes garbage picking works out great! |
