Here are some useful tips on how to select a perfect Smoke Alarm that will fit the needs of your home.
- First thing to consider is the location of smoke alarms. They should be installed on every level of the building, including the attic and basement. The majority of fatal fires start from these places during the night-hours that's why it is necessary to have an alarm outside your sleeping area.
- Second thing to consider is the proper maintenance of a smoke alarm. If this device has a low or not working battery, it won't detect any smoke. That is why it is advised to test the device monthly and to replace the batteries at least once a year.
- Third and most important moment is all about a proper installation of any Smoke Alarm you select. It should be mounted according to the instructions set by manufacturer. That way it will work correctly and will be entitled to the manufacturer's warranty.

How to Select
How to Shop for a Smoke Alarm
A smoke alarm is a very essential equipment that alerts everyone inside the building about a fire or smoke in the house of office. These safety devices have already saved many lives because they can detect slow burning smoke or shouldering fire and they provide homeowners with a sense of confidence, knowing that their family and property is safe. These alarms are widely used in commercial households and they are becoming very popular for residential applications as well. In addition, it is recommended that individuals install several alarms in any house or apartment – at least one should be in every bedroom, in the living room and in the hallway.
There are a variety of smoke alarms available on the market today. There are interconnected devices that sound off simultaneously as soon as one of them detects smoke. These systems are the most immediate and therefore, they give more chance to everyone in the house to hear them and get out safely. At the same time, there are two basic types of smoke alarms such as photoelectric and ionization sensor and two varieties such as battery-operated and hardwired devices.
Photoelectric detectors use a beam of infrared light that is sent by a light-emitted diode to detect smoke or fire in the building or in the surrounding. If any particles of smoke are detected, the light is deflected towards the sensing chamber and triggers the alarm. These useful devices are the best option for living rooms, bedroom and other places where smoldering smoke is more probable than flames.
Ionization detectors have a small amount of radioactive material and an ionization chamber. The chamber consists of two plates: one plate is positive the other is negative; they produce positively and negatively charged ions and cause an electric current. When smoke occurs, it makes changes in the current and triggers the alarm. These devices respond quickly to flaming fires and they are ideal for rooms that have combustible substances located within them, such as paper or inflammable liquids.
Battery-operated smoke alarms usually use 9-volt batteries as an energy source. They are cheaper, easy to install and can be placed anywhere in a building. At the same time, the batteries have to be replaced yearly and the devices of this kind usually work independently from the other alarms throughout the house.
Hardwired alarms are reliable, don't need battery replacement and allow the user save money on batteries. In addition, they are usually interconnected, but they are difficult to replace.
No matter what type of smoke alarm you decide to purchase, it should be a high-quality, fast and reliable device. At the same time, they should be checked on regular basis if they are in a good working condition and if the battery is not running low. Ideally, it recommended checking the alarm batteries at least once or twice in a month.

I live on West Lilac Rd. in Bonsall. Is there area under evacuation orders?
http://fox5sandiego.com/2014/05/14/wildfire-burning-along-fallbrook-highway/#axzz31j70bpBH Allegedly they are encouraging all those who live off of West Lilac to evacuate.
I just saw on CBS 8 News, yes, West of Lilac Rd is being evacuated

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Fallbrook-Fire-I15-SR76-Valley-Center-259263991.html A bit more info, but not much.
Thank you and hats off to all the firefighters! Drove by old 395 and Rancho Monserate yesterday and I am amazed that no homes were lost. That was close. Lets pray for cooler temps and some rain. It is going to be a long, hot summer.
I watched the fire from the 360deg. panoramic camera atop Red Mt. The site is hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras There is a Red Mountain (near Fallbrook) view with 6 shots that change as I update each shot. I was looking south and watched as a small puff of white appeared along what is s/b 395 below Lilac Rd. I came back every few minutes and was amazed as it climbed the hillside. I grew up in the area and am very familiar with that whole area. I could also watch progress on the Tommahawk fire, but for that I just had to look over the hill at Alturas and Merida a few blocks from my current home. These cameras have been very fun to check out over the years, fires, traffic and just plain beautiful views from the top of that hideous Red Mt. peak with all those towers on the left as you leave town on E. Mission and I 15. The views looking down and all around compensate a bit since they have the towers there anyway.
Thank you for the information! From our side we did not see any Forest Service engines. THANK YOU to ALL Departments and crews involved.
I, for one, am grateful to all those who worked so hard to save the homes in the path of the Highway Fire. The mandatory evacuation call came at 1:20 on Wednesday and I left quickly. To everyone who worked to stop San Diego County from flames, a heartfelt THANK YOU.
The fire break around that mobile home park is gigantic. That fire would have had a difficult time getting to the park even without firefighting efforts.
Clearly Observant wasn't watching the fire on the local news as it happened, nor has he apparently driven by the area. The flames came way too close, how no homes were lost or damaged is part miracle, part super human effort on the part of the firefighters.
Firefighters doing their job with equipment paid for by tax payers, and now another bill to pay with the cost of the fire....how many times do we pay to have a fire put out. I like the contract people who send a big bill for their services while their taking ice and water and food that is there for the firefighters....
Another miracle, the mobile home park on Alturas didn't go up in flames. Came within feet. Great Fire Fighting to all involved!!

In defense of President Obama and Obamacare
Posted By DP Opinion On November 30, 2013 @ 5:04 pm In Letters | 23 Comments
Re: "How a presidency unravels [1]," Nov. 24 George Will column.
George Will's column sneers at President Obama, but it is Will's self-proclaimed intellectual superiority that oozes from every line. I guess he is getting desperate — with corporate profits and the stock market at all-time highs, unemployment ratcheting down and the country almost self-sufficient in energy, it's getting hard for Will to find real issues to complain about. Regarding Obamacare, what exactly do Will and his fellow Republicans have to offer instead? They would allow insurance companies to continue to sell policies that are not worth the paper they are written on, due to failure to cover pre-existing conditions, financial coverage limits, giant out-of-pocket maximums or other shenanigans that have led to thousands of Americans being bankrupted by medical problems even when they have insurance. That is their idea, and that is all they have to offer. It is indeed a sorry spectacle.
Richard Burrows, Arvada

what exactly do Will and his fellow Republicans have to offer instead?
I don't know how this one got printed in the Noise Machine:
The controversial individual mandate that was upheld Thursday by the
U.S. Supreme Court stems back more than 20 years, believed to have
originated with a prominent conservative think tank.The mandate, requiring every American to purchase health insurance,
appeared in a 1989 published proposal by Stuart M. Butler of the
conservative Heritage Foundation called "Assuring Affordable Health Care
for All Americans," which included a provision to "mandate all
households to obtain adequate insurance."The Heritage Foundation "substantially revised" its proposal four
years later, according to a 1994 analysis by the Congressional Budget
Office. But the idea of an individual health insurance mandate later
appeared in two bills introduced by Republican lawmakers in 1993,
according to the non-partisan research group ProCon.org. Among the
supporters of the bills were senators Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Charles
Grassley, R-Iowa, who today oppose the mandate under current law.

Dano, you're forgetting The Ryan Budget.
1) Give the old folks a $10,000 voucher and let your senile grandad chose a policy from United Health Care.
2) Turn Medicaid into a block grant. IOW, let the bankrupt states ration health care to the poors.
3) Pre-conditions? Gods will. You'll survive if you have enough money to treat yourself without insurance. This is called "Evolution of the Fittest".
edited: I forgot two biggies.
4) Change the laws in all the 50 states so you can live in Colorado, buy insurance from some outfit in Mississippi, the BillyBob Gator Health Insurance Company
5) Remove the ability to seek redress in the courts for medical malpractice by calling your case "frivolous" .

Richard Burrows, Exactly!
#5 Comment By thor On December 1, 2013 @ 3:25 pm
I like your voucher idea. It is always better to give someone the chance to choose their insurance carrier. Choice and competition always drives down costs. Good call.
#6 Comment By thor On December 1, 2013 @ 3:34 pm
George Will is intellectually superior to the letter writer. And if the disaster that is Obmacare isn't a real issue, then what is? But this line-"unemployment ratcheting down and the country almost self-sufficient in energy," shows how out of touch the letter writer is. Unemployment is only slightly down because employers are hiring part time in big numbers but not full time. And we would be more energy independent if the President would allow for the pipeline from Canada to go through.
#7 Comment By thor On December 1, 2013 @ 3:36 pm
Obomneycare is a Democrat fiction.
#8 Comment By Granny On December 1, 2013 @ 7:12 pm
We would be completely energy independent as well as economically prosperous in taking leadership in the development of natural energy resources to meet the increasing global demand for clean energy. But it takes money to make money when investing in the future, and austerity seems to be the path to a third-world economy preferred by the right.
The web site is definitely a disaster, but providing all Americans with access to medical care is only disastrous from the perspective of those who place profit over the health, and the very lives of their fellow Americans — many of whom have suffered and died from their conditions simply because they couldn't afford treatment.
What you see as a disaster, I see as the start of meeting a moral obligation. I seem to be in the good company of many Democrats as well as Pope Francis in seeing the morality of providing health care to all people.
If Republicans had cooperated even in the slightest way, this program could have worked far more smoothly. We may also have had a more competitive arena by allowing people to purchase policies across state lines. But rather than work to improve the program, the GOP is determined to destroy it at the cost of American lives.
#9 Comment By thor On December 1, 2013 @ 7:41 pm
"a third-world economy preferred by the right." The left is the ones trying to make a free market, capitalist society like a 3rd world economy.
#10 Comment By Dave52 On December 1, 2013 @ 8:02 pm
Well, its not my idea, its Rep Ryan's.
What would be great? Spend you Medical insurance vouchers with faith healers – "Lawdy, Hear Me Pray This Cancer Away!!". Kinda like vouchers for religious schools, but now with health care.
#11 Comment By Dano2 On December 1, 2013 @ 8:02 pm
Trade you yer chiggen for some health care.
#12 Comment By Dano2 On December 1, 2013 @ 8:04 pm
Free F^(#ing Dumb. Freedom@$$.
How far are we away from Idiocracy??
#13 Comment By thor On December 1, 2013 @ 8:23 pm
Well, its a good idea. Now, about "faith healers." God is sovereign and He heals without the need for people who charge money. So faith healers are irrelevant to our discussion. But religious schools, that's another subject altogether. But using vouchers for health insurance is apples and oranges if you are comparing them to religious schools. Unless you factor that most religious schools do as good a job, or better, than public schools. So, in that case, vouchers are just plain good.

We're already there, are you kidding?

Buying oil from Canada = energy independence?! You've outdone yourself, Thor.
#16 Comment By thor On December 2, 2013 @ 3:31 pm
I wrote "would be more energy independent…" I did not write that we would be totally energy independent. But in truth, oil is fungible and so it is sold all over the world no matter where it is drilled from. And I think Granny is outdoing herself more so by talking about clean energy.
#17 Comment By reinhold23 On December 2, 2013 @ 3:48 pm
The point is buying from Canada does not make us "more energy independent". Canada is a nice ally, to be sure, but buying from them is nonetheless dependence on a foreign country for our energy needs.

#21 Comment By guest On December 2, 2013 @ 4:04 pm
Granny, you are going to see how disastrous Obamacare is when they cut the $716 billion from Medicare and suddenly your doctor won't see you. What you are going to see is a class system we've not had in the country before. Obamacare as enacted by the Democrats will do the exact opposite of what they wanted to do.
#22 Comment By guest On December 2, 2013 @ 4:16 pm
But energy independence is in the cards for the USA by about 2035, but we should be able to get by with just imports from Canada by 2020. As we bring on more and more energy, you can expect to see a new revival of manufacturing in this country (labor isn't the only cost of manufacturing) which will be good for everyone.
#23 Comment By johnrpack On December 3, 2013 @ 12:10 pm
…failure to cover pre-existing conditions, financial coverage limits, giant out-of-pocket maximums or other shenanigans….
Keep in mind that these policy terms were negotiated by employers — not by those who use the policies. The real solution to our health care problem is to eliminate the employer middleman.

Heineken Cup bosses hope shareholder power can force the release of overdue tournament appearance fees.
European Rugby Cup (ERC) again voted to delay a decision regarding the release of appearance payment instalments to its six shareholder countries at a board meeting in London on Wednesday.
The ERC board initially deferred a decision on the late payments in a Dublin meeting on February 5, and followed suit again on Wednesday.
Another board meeting has been set for March 11 - but crucially a shareholders' meeting has been called for March 10.
Despite more than three hours of wrangling in Wednesday's reconvened meeting, no tangible progress could be made.
The ERC board believes the shareholders may be able to force through the release of these payments, by ordering the directors to act, Press Association Sport understands.
Tournament bosses are concerned about possible law suits should Sky lose out in the TV rights battle with BT Sport.
The Heineken Cup could well be replaced by a European Champions Cup run by the Six Nations committee next season, leaving ERC defunct.
The Dublin-based organisation has been poring over its potential liabilities for weeks now, should the company be wound up in the summer.
The ERC board has chosen to delay any decision still further, in the hope there can be a resolution to the Sky-BT battle, with the RFU still aiming to broker a compromise between the warring broadcasters.
Sky claim an ongoing European competition screening rights deal to run into next season, while BT have signed a deal with Premiership Rugby, the English clubs' governing body.
The ERC shareholders are the six unions of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Wales and Scotland, and France club body the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR).
Representatives from all six unions attended Wednesday's ERC board meeting, with Premiership Rugby and the LNR also holding a presence.
Regional Rugby Wales, the body representing Wales' four regional sides, have not replaced Stuart Gallagher on the ERC board since his December resignation, and held no presence at Wednesday's meeting.

The ABCs of Conflict Resolution
"Seek first to understand and then to be understood."
— Stephen R. Covey
Work & Family Life newsletter (February 2006) offered these tips for resolving conflict:
- Be aware that you see the world from your own point of view. It's not necessarily the way things really work.
- Make an effort to understand the other person's point of view; not just what he or she wants, but why.
- Show empathy. Try to see yourself in someone else's shoes. This is at the heart of the conflict-resolution process. You don't have to agree with people to understand their point of view.
- Let the other person know that you've tried to see her or his perspective. It helps to establish cooperation and trust and puts you in a better position to work out a solution together.
- State your own point of view after you feel that you understand the other person's point of view.
- Be positive. Talk about what you want and why, instead of what you don't want. Focus on the future rather than rehashing old problems.
- Agree on a general solution and then work out specifics. Just seeing yourselves as partners looking for a solution is an important step. This provides both parties with a stake in making the solution work.

Lip conditioner is something I don't like to be without. I am so glad they have these hanging at the front of most registers because I always count on them being there when I need to buy new tube.
Since I like to try different things all the time, I bought a tube of Blistex lip conditioner last winter. My lips were really chapped, and whatever was in this tube of lip balm felt very good on my lips.
As soon as I put it on, my lips felt cool and refreshed. For some reason I use it more in the winter than the summer, but love how it feels on my lips.

Her dreams of being an entertainer developed at birth when she was born premature and in the local news due her complications. Melodye Joy never dreamed of modeling as a career, or even a choice in her entertainment aspirations. But in Winter 2006, at the suggestion of a friend, she made her debut. With water bottle in hand and a runny nose due a Winter cold, Melodye braved the bustling highways of Los Angeles and pulled off her first effort in modeling, implied and artistic no less. She's like a camelion, changing to fit the scenery, making her way without loosing herself.
It wasn't until 2009 that Melodye developed the courage to mold and train herself as a fashion model.
Currently, she has worked runway, catalog, editorial, implied and beauty. Melodye hopes to continue developing her craft and pushing forward.
Melodye Joy is a fast rising, independent petite model. Her skills include beauty, implied, fashion and lifestyle.

"AVG's collaboration with Yahoo is a mistake"
I haven't seen any real improvement over AVG 8.0, but that version works exceedingly well.
AVG 8.5 doesn't integrate properly with the Securtity Center in Vista-64. The Center thinks that AVG is out of date. The worst feature is the so-called AVG Security Toolbar. This POS breaks IE7 and disables the manual configuration control panel.
Don't bother with AVG 8.5. Stick with the older version or find a different anti-virus solution.

Secret Ingredient Brownies & A Food Gal Podcast
Thursday, 27. September 2012 5:25
Monday night, as the featured speaker at the Sunnyvale Public Library, I thought I'd have some fun with the audience members.
After all, if you're going to talk about food writing, people are bound to get hungry, right?
So, I baked home-made fudge brownies for everyone, using a new recipe I recently came across. As folks nibbled away, I asked if anyone could guess the secret ingredient in these brownies.
Don't even think it was some kind of controlled substance, though one guy did venture that guess. Other folks struck out with guesses of avocado, tofu, prunes, vinegar, black beans, red bean paste and even soy sauce.
In the end, after giving folks a hint that it was a "liquid" ingredient, one woman finally guessed the correct answer to win one of my very snazzy Food Gal aprons.
Of course, you guys reading this post have it easy. The photo above is a complete giveaway. The secret ingredient in these brownies? Guinness Stout.
"Guinness Brownies" is a recipe from the new cookbook, "Tate's Bake Shop: Baking for Friends" (self-published), of which I recently received a review copy. The cookbook, which features more than 120 recipes, is by Kathleen King, the owner of Tate's Bake Shop in Southhampton, NY.

The honorees, members of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Henderson Police Department, and the Las Vegas field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, were honored at the White House for their efforts in capturing wanted murderer Jason Baires after a gun fight.

Costello: it's been 'a shemozzle'
PUBLISHED: 16 Mar 2012 00:45:33 | UPDATED: 16 Mar 2012 09:20:41PUBLISHED: 16 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 16 Mar 2012Peter Costello goes on the offensive on the ABC's 7.30 program on Thursday night.
Patrick Durkin, Tony Walker and Gemma Daley
Former treasurer Peter Costello has launched a blistering attack on the Gillard government's appointment of highly regarded businessman David Gonski to chair the Future Fund, describing the selection process as a shemozzle that has harmed the reputation of the $73 billion fund.
But Mr Costello has refused to resign as a board member of the fund, saying that he created, legislated and put every dollar into the fund.
The retaliation followed what Mr Costello described as a "foolish and juvenile" attack by Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, who claimed that Mr Costello had a sense of entitlement and that he would rather invest his money with Mr Gonski "any day of the week". Former prime minister John Howard and Liberal Party heavyweight Michael Kroger both came to Mr Costello's defence before the former treasurer launched his own attack on the federal government last night.
"I think . . . the process has been a shemozzle," Mr Costello told the ABC's 7.30 program.
"I think the way in which this was handled has harmed the reputation of the Future Fund.
"The Future Fund was something that I conceived, I legislated it and I put every dollar of capital into it, every dollar. No other treasurer, no finance minister, nobody, has put a dollar of capital into this fund except for me," Mr Costello said.
The government confirmed the appointment of Mr Gonski to lead the investment fund on Tuesday, bypassing a number of board members including the former treasurer.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott on Friday said Mr Gonski was a "highly reputable, highly capable businessman" and said he would not overturn the appointment if elected.
But he attacked the government for mishandling the appointment.
"The problem's not Gonski, the problem is a dishonest and disreputable government," Mr Abbott told the Nine Network.
"He wasn't the recommended candidate, Peter Costello was. He was rejected because they're obsessed with political management."
Mr Costello said that while he held Mr Gonski in high regard, the man who had led the government's recruitment process for the chairman's role should have ruled himself out as a candidate.
"Mr Gonski, having taken the role of being the person to get the confidence of each individual board member and report back to the government, I would have thought disqualified him from having his own name put forward and I think that would have been good corporate practice," Mr Costello said.
But the former treasurer's refusal to resign from the fund's board, raises fresh questions about the ability of Mr Costello and Mr Gonski to work together.
"It is one of the few sovereign wealth funds held by Western governments around the world, it is probably the most respected," Mr Costello said.
"I want to make sure that its reputation continues, that is why I was appointed to the board and I want to ensure that continues into the future."
Mr Gonski was asked by the government late last year to collect the views of the fund's board members on who should replace chairman David Murray when his extended term expires at the end of this month. Mr Gonski reported his findings to the Department of Finance.
The Australian Financial Review reported yesterday that federal cabinet had ignored the advice of the majority of board members that Mr Costello should be the next chairman.
Last week the Financial Review revealed the government was to appoint an outsider as chairman and flagged that Mr Gonski was the preferred candidate.
Senator Penny Wong, who had charge of the selection process, said yesterday: "We did not believe he [Mr Costello] was the best person for the job."
Mr Costello's extraordinary attack followed taunting by Senator Conroy yesterday.
"There are some days when you just know how John Howard felt," Senator Conroy said. "Peter Costello seems to have a sense of entitlement that he should have been the prime minister so he used to stamp his feet behind John Howard and now he's doing it again. It's no surprise to see Peter Costello stamping his feet and leaking stories to newspapers."
But Mr Costello was outraged.
"There are certain things I will cop in public life, but I won't cop that. I'll remind Stephen Conroy of this. If I hadn't paid off Australia's debt and accumulated $60 billion in surpluses, there would be no Future Fund. This FF invests the surpluses that I delivered as treasurer. For Mr Conroy, his last outing was set-top boxes and the NBN. To be speaking of financial accountability is a bit rich."
Prime Minister Julia Gillard maintained that Mr Gonski was the best candidate for the job, given his significant track record as a chairman of major companies, including the A SX Group and Coca-Cola Amatil as well as fund manager Investec.
"The government came to the conclusion that Peter Costello should play a role in the future fund, that's why we appointed him [to the board] and he will continue to play that role."
But former prime minister John Howard said the decision of the Gillard government not to appoint the former Liberal treasurer was political.
"I thought Peter Costello was an outstanding treasurer and he would have made an outstanding chairman of the Future Fund," Mr Howard –who was in Brisbane campaigning with Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman – said.
"[Mr Gonski has] a lot of ability but I am certainly attacking the whole shambolic selection process," Mr Howard said.
"Everyone knew a year ago that David Murray was standing down and they managed to mess up something as simple as that," he said.
Michael Kroger blasted the government decision ,saying that Mr Gonski should have rejected the offer.
"Mr Costello was the obvious standout candidate and should've been appointed,'' Mr Kroger told the Financial Review.
"I personally believe Mr Gonski was unwise to accept the position given all the circumstances we now know."
Mr Abbott said Mr Costello was the "world champion at good and sound and frugal and prudent management of taxpayers' money".
"I can think of no better person than Peter Costello to manage taxpayers' money," he said.
While Opposition treasury spokesman Joe Hockey said Mr Gonski was someone "who is obviously able to do the job", he at the same time questioning whether "appropriate processes" had been followed.
Mr Costello established the fund in 2006, with the aim of investing the fund to meet public sector superannuation liabilities. Mr Costello was appointed to the fund's board by the Rudd government in December 2009 and was supported by a majority of the board to replace Mr Murray.
Business reaction to the Costello snub was mixed yesterday.
Chairman of Toll Holdings Ray Horsburgh told the Financial Review: "I don't think there is any doubt that [Peter] Costello would have made a good [Future Fund] chairman.
"But at the same time, I have known David Gonski over the years and he has got a very good financial brain. So if you forget the politics of it, I think either of them could have done the job very admirably," he said.
"Peter has been a pretty strong critic of the government and obviously that has left a few scars."
Allan Fels, dean of the Australia and New Zealand School of Government, questioned procedures leading to the Gonski appointment, while making it clear he regarded Mr Gonski as well qualified.
"Obviously, in principle, it is undesirable for a person facilitating a selection process to end up unwittingly, if that is the case, being offered the job,'' he said.
However, the Gonski appointment "may be the right outcome despite a dubious process", he said.
Mr Gonski could not be reached for comment last night.

Spent last night in town after the Badger men's hockey game, and a chilly Saturday morning was the perfect time to do this cache. No one else was around during our visit, and since we had done some geothinking ahead of time, the find went quickly and smoothly here. Thanks for the cache, CommanderUSN!

All I've got left in the hangar is my 48" Edge, 48" Super Vyper, and 51" Slick! I'll just make the best of what I've got until after the holidays when I can start restocking. I'm definitely going to replace the 57" Extra. I just need to figure out whether I'm going to get a new 71" Slick or a new 72" Extra. I love(d) my 57" Extra so much so I'm kinda leaning towards the 72" Extra. |

I have done this on couple of my 48" planes and it does work well. Especially since I'm in the aviation business, we have the good tempered aluminum in our airframe repair section. Actually the nylon bolts work well, they help minimize damage quite well. I just need to make it a little stronger by getting the right combination of enough strength for hard landings but they break away in a real bad landing or crash.

Wellbutrin has a stimulating, upbeat effect. Patients tend to like it; they say it increases the number of positive, optimistic thoughts and helps keep their negative emotions in check. In your first few months on Wellbutrin, you should not take it close to bedtime, because it may make it harder to get to sleep. This effect diminishes over time for most people. Wellbutrin does not cause weight gain, and many patients have lost weight while taking Wellbutrin. It does not cause sexual problems; in fact, several doctors have tried giving Wellbutrin to improve sexual function in their depressed patients, but without much success. Wellbutrin has increased sex drive in patients with bipolar depression, as it drove them closer to mania.
The norepinephrine effects of Wellbutrin may be helpful to some patients who suffer from asthma.
Wellbutrin's main side effects are insomnia, weight loss, and slight nausea right after taking the pill. This nausea usually goes away in a few days to weeks. If nausea is a problem at first, you can relieve it by eating something small at the same time that you take the medicine. Half a cracker is usually enough.
Because of Wellbutrin's activating effect, it has sometimes been tried as a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD] in adults, with mixed success. It might be especially helpful for you if depressive distractibility or indecisiveness is causing problems in your life. Please note that Wellbutrin has reportedly caused false-positive results for amphetamines in a small number of urine drug tests.
If you have epilepsy, you should not take Wellbutrin, because it can increase the risk of epileptic seizures. Ask your doctor to make sure you do not take any medications or supplements that could increase seizure risk while taking Wellbutrin. Anorexia and bulimia with purging can upset the body's mineral balance and cause seizures, so if you suffer from these problems you should not take Wellbutrin. It can also sometimes slightly increase blood pressure, and if you have a heart disease, you should probably pick a different antidepressant.
Wellbutrin comes in 75- and 100-milligram regular-release tablets that are taken three to four times daily; 100-, 150-, and 200-milligram sustained-release (SR) tablets that are taken twice a day; and 150- and 300-milligram extended-release (XR) tablets that are taken once in the morning. The regular-release and SR tablets are the largest antidepressant pills around; taking these tablets has been likened to swallowing a dime. On the other hand, Wellbutrin XR comes in trim little tablets that anyone can swallow.
Wellbutrin SR is also sold under the name of Zyban to stop the habit of cigarette smoking. If you are depressed and also want help to stop smoking, Wellbutrin may be a good antidepressant for you. It may also be helpful for other substance-use problems. Depressed cocaine abusers have stopped using cocaine after their depression was relieved by Wellbutrin.
Usual therapeutic doses range from 150 to 300 milligrams daily. You may not get a significant effect until you reach the higher doses, so do not give up if you do not feel better at low doses.

Flavor Delight Aprium - surprisingly healthy
With all the talk about erratic fruit set in Pluots, the contrast with the reliable fruit set of Flavor Delight Aprium struck me this year. We got poor fruit set this year on Dapple Dandy and Flavor Queen Pluots despite good weather during bloom. Cold, rainy weather followed.
But, as always (so far) Flavor Delight set fruit way too heavily for me. I think it must have quite a bit of resistance to blossom blight. I sincerely doubt that it needs cross-pollination, which is a good thing, since not many apricots bloom so early.
We slacked off the copper spraying this winter, and Royal Rosa, which blooms with Flavor Delight (in another yard) has dropped 3/4 of its fruit. Much of it is damaged. There was also damage to later-blooming varieties from later rains. We expect damage on Blenheim from rain. There was also a little damage to Harcot and more damage to Golden Amber and Royalty. And we got rain just as Canadian White Blenheim and Chinese are finishing bloom. Canadian White Blenheim seems to be "on the edge" for us as far as chill requirement goes - most years it has not bloomed normally. This year it did.
Though Flavor Delight might not reach the very summit of apricot quality, it certainly has tasty fruit here in the Southern San Joaquin valley, with our high summer heat. I think it's almost as good as Harcot, my favorite of the varieties I have. Its fruiting season overlaps Harcot, unfortunately. Harcot has also been reliable for me, though it usually sets less fruit than Flavor Delight.
I guess this is a recommendation for Flavor Delight as a lower-maintenance "apricot" for growers who may slack off on winter spraying sometimes. At least in climates similar to ours, where its very early bloom does not pose a threat of loss due to frost most years. A pretty safe bet for a "gift tree" to novice growers in our region.
Carolyn: Flavor Delight has always set big crops for me as well both when I was in CA and now in my greenhouse. But I've never eaten one that I thought was really good. For me Tasty Rich is much earlier maturity and better quality. Tomcot is better eating and about same or earlier. I've got my first crop of Cot-N-Candy growing now. All I can tell at this point is the fruit is going to be very small. Also have the late cots Autumn Glo and Earli Autumn started. They should fruit along with Canadian White Blenheim next year. Don't have Harcot but will next year.
How do you find the eating quality of Canadian W Blen? Any other eating quality reports?
Thanks for the update!!!
The Fruitnut
Harcot starts ripening for me just after Flavor Delight starts ripening. It is NOT a late bloomer here - starts before Blenheim. Harcot is a firmer fruit with more flavor and a different perfume than FD.
But Flavor Delight has produced better fruit for me than three other other relatively early apricot varieties - Royal Rosa, FloraGold and Royalty. I think Flavor Delight would be a variety landscapers could plant for "edible landscaping" - for people who aren't necessarily "Fruit Nuts" and who may not pay attention to winter care, etc. It is attractive in bloom, too.
I would love it if Dave Wilson released Tasty Rich for the retail market. Maybe even Honey Rich, for those people who are into "sweet-tart" fruit. I know people who could go for a firm fruit like that described in the Dave Wilson listings. I've never tasted it, though.
I don't know if Autumn Glo and Earli Autumn would be at risk for pitburn here. Don't they ripen in August? Last I looked, their chill requirements also looked a little high for me. I've thought about Autumn Royal, too.
Tomcot, Goldensweet and Robada are on my future apricot list. If anybody had some budwood of Sugar Sweet, an old Valley variety, I might try it, too.
Of the apricots I have grown, FloraGold (tree now dead) is only decent when dead ripe - bland rather than acid before that. I am not impressed by Royal Rosa, but it's not in the best location. Royalty is big and mushy, not fully freestone, with a tart layer under the skin - OK for people who want to grow big apricots on a windy hill - its claim to fame is wind-resistant spurs. Fine for jam. It reminds my husband of his Grandfather's apricots, so it stays.
Golden Amber is about the size of Blenheim, and decent for a late (not fall) apricot in our hot climate. Blenheim and Moorpark are both badly affected by pitburn here. You have to watch for brown rot with Blenheim, too. Moorpark is marginal for winter chill here. Once in a while you get a really good bite of fruit from the shady side of the apricot. Stark Sweetheart needs too much chill for our climate.
I've only tasted a couple of the Canadian White Blenheims (someone else got a few fruits). Most years, even when it blooms, I have to plan ahead for pollen from another variety. I recently planted Chinese, which is blooming with CWB this year. My Golden Amber is in a different location, but most years has a few blooms out with CWB - when CWB blooms.
The flavor of CWB made me think of the difference between a white peach and a yellow peach. I think yellow peaches taste "peachier" and white peaches more subtle. Same with yellow apricots vs. CWB. Yellow (orange) apricots taste more "apricot-y". But I would hate to judge just from the couple of fruits I've tasted. CWB had a sweet and subtle flavor. The fruit was sort of a pale, creamy yellow.
If I remember correctly, Flavor Delight tastes better a few hours after picking than right off the tree - unlike Harcot, which tastes very nice right off the tree. FD fruit that falls because it is ripe is also good,
For growers further inland or north: If I lived where there was enough winter chill, I'd probably plant Orangered (Robada's parent) with Canadian White Blenheim. Both need cross-pollination. Orangered seems to be very popular in Europe. Listed at 1200 hours chill requirement. Don't know if Orangered is a sweet pit variety, but the patent says Robada is. So is CWB. Also Chinese and Montrose.
I grow Honey Rich. It is my second to ripen between Tasty Rich and Tomcot. It has never set many fruit. They are fairly large and blocky. The quality hasn't been very good, just good enough to keep one limb. Mine are soft and have only fair flavor. They don't hang on the tree very well. Not firm and sweet tart if that's what you've heard. But it might well be different in your climate than in my greenhouse.
Autumn Glo and Earli Autumn are going to ripen in the dead head of summer where you are. For my greenhouse it will be July. They must have some heat resistance but only time will tell. I'm just hoping they add a little variety to that time frame. It is when I have the most fruit of any time of year. That's one reason I really appreciate Tasty Rich, great quality for such an early fruit.
The late fruit I'm looking forward to this year is Flavor Finale pluot. This will be my first crop and it will be a big one. I have it on about four different trees, one in a pot. If it's better than Flavor Treat pluot I'll be overjoyed. Flavor Treat is my latest tree fruit, the largest pluot, and one of the very best. Never have enough to last the 6-8 wks it is in prime condition. Finale set a much better crop than Treat ever has. I expect Finale to be earlier. Would like one later but Flavor Fall was a total bust for me.
The Fruitnut
Sounds like Tasty Rich is a better candidate for home gardens than Honey Rich. Flavor Treat and Flavor Finale sound great. Glad for the evaluation of Flavor Fall.
A specialty commercial firm north of here which does dried apricots grows a yellow Japanese plum variety called "October Sun" for drying. Sounds nice. Would be interesting to know if it's good fresh.

Bowser (Revision 1178)
- First Appearance: Super Mario Bros. (NES, 1985)
- Made Famous by: Super Mario Bros. (NES, 1985)
- Last Appearance: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii, 2007)
Mario's had one primary nemesis since the NES days, and that nemesis is none other than Bowser. Bowser is the King of the Koopas, a race of evil turtles (and other enemies) that depend on simple havoc-wreaking for their livelihood. This mostly involves numerous invasions of the Mushroom Kingdom, where Mario, his brother Luigi, and his beloved Princess Peach dwell. Bowser almost always manages to capture Peach, forcing Mario (and sometimes Luigi) to come to her rescue. This has been the case since Super Mario Bros. was released on the NES in 1985, and with the exception of the Stateside Super Mario Bros. 2 (known as "Super Mario USA" in Japan), there are no notable exceptions where Bowser isn't the bad guy in a Mario game.
Bowser's evolution has been more subtle than many Nintendo characters. He appears much the same as did back in the mid-80's, with some minor modifications adding to his castle-dwelling original appearance. In Super Mario Bros. 3, he took to the air in a flotilla of airships, while in Super Mario World, he tried to do Mario in with nothing more than his airborne Koopa Clown Car. And yes, Bowser is a father. His six sons, daughter, and "junior" version of him are all Mario haters as well. Unfortunately for them, Bowser is the only Koopa representative in all of Brawl. But fear not -- he's a veteran at this point, first appearing in Super Smash Bros. Melee back in 2001.
Command List
Here is a complete list of all of Bowser's moves, in addition to how to perform them and the amount of damage they deal.
Special Moves
Fire Breath (neutral)
Whirling Fortress (up)
Flying Slam (side)
Bowser Bomb (down)
Final Smash

What if something happens and I cannot attend orientation? Please call Human Resources at 847.535.6163 to report that you will not be at orientation. You will then be contacted to reschedule your start date for the next orientation in two weeks, as you cannot begin work until you attend orientation.
