This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application 60/632,464 filed on Dec. 2, 2004 which is incorporated by reference herein.
This invention relates to a method for optimizing microwave heating of containers of foodstuff products, to prevent superheating of certain particles of foodstuff, and for minimizing the inherent microwave activity associated with heating foodstuffs. Optimization of heating and reduction of microwave activity is achieved by selectively placing microwave shielding material around or in portions of side walls of the product container.
Microwaveable packaging technology enables development of new and unique food products to suit various consumer needs. While convenience and time efficiency are obvious advantages of many of today's microwaveable food products, certain quality issues exist relating to minimizing superheating using presently available technology. It is commonly known that microwaving foods, whether in a retail package or in special cookware, often results in a final product that has portions which are superheated, and/or which exhibits microwave activity during heating. The phrase �microwave activity� refers to movement of the container, the generation of audible noises, and occasional splatter during heating, activity that inherently occurs during the microwave heating of foodstuffs. �Superheating� refers to overheating at least a portion of foodstuffs. Superheating and microwave activity detract from the eating experience and enjoyment of microwaved foods and may lead to consumers avoiding consumption of microwaveable products. Furthermore, while a user can always remove a container of food from the microwave, stir it, and replace it for additional heating, such extra steps result in delay and inconvenience to the consumer and reduce user satisfaction with available products. Additionally, stirring and replacing the container of food for further heating will not prevent microwave activity or superheating from occurring.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a package for microwaveable foodstuffs which optimizes heating of the foodstuff and reduces microwave activity during heating.
It is another object of this invention to provide a package for a microwaveable foodstuff such that the foodstuff is conveniently consumable right out of the package.
It is another object of this invention to provide labeling for foodstuff containers which selectively shield microwaves.
These and other objects of the invention are achieved by providing a container for microwaving foodstuffs comprising microwave shielding material, the container having a bottom and side walls and including a foodstuff, said shielding material arranged together with a portion of the side walls, whereby heating of said foodstuff is optimized. The invention also provides for a method for reducing microwave activity associated with subjecting a foodstuff in a container to microwaves, the container having a bottom and side walls, said method comprising affixing shielding material together with a portion of the side walls of said container.
The invention relates to a microwaveable container for foodstuffs in general, and convenience food products in particular, which optimizes the heating of microwaveable products and reduces microwave activity during heating. The term �convenience food products� as used herein means foodstuffs which are directly consumed out of the microwaveable container. Microwave activity is reduced, in part, when superheating of foodstuff contents is reduced (i.e., when heating is optimized).
The band comprises material that blocks microwaves (i.e., reflects, deflects, or absorbs microwaves). By including such material, the package controls the microwave energy that reaches the foodstuff within the container. By selectively placing the bands together with the container (e.g., either affixed to an external surface or integrally incorporated with the side wall) the heating of the foodstuff is controlled, or moderated, so that the product within the container is heated more uniformly. Additionally, it has been found that the microwave activity which inherently occurs during cooking is also reduced. Suitable materials for use in the invention that block microwave energy include but are not limited to metals. A preferable metal is aluminum. The selection of shielding materials, whether for use without any other materials or layers, or for use together with other materials or layers, is readily within the knowledge of those skilled in the art. The metal used can be in the form of a foil, film, tape, or other form. The material can be made by any suitable process, including but not limited to pressing or chemical deposition of the metal onto another material. The layer thickness can be any thickness usable for shielding purposes. The thickness and microwave opacity of any other material should be chosen to be suitable for microwave uses, and will be readily determinable by those skilled in the art. Microwave opacity is a commonly used measure of a material's blocking ability known to those skilled in the art. Typically microwave ovens generate microwaves having a frequency of 2.45 GHz. Microwave opacity corresponds to the degree to which microwaves transmit through a material. A suitable microwave opacity is 50% or more, preferably 90% or more. The aluminum used in the examples hereinbelow was in the form of foil or tape, with a thickness of about 5 mil., and had a microwave opacity of about 90-100%.
A band may include materials other than the microwave shielding material. For example, the band can include a layer or laminate of plastic material. The plastic material can be any type of plastic suitable for the purpose. In embodiments where the plastic will not come into contact with the foodstuff, issues of interaction between the plastic and foodstuff are not a concern. The plastic, or other material, can also serve as labeling for the packaged product. For example, a Plastishield label can be used. Plastishield is a coextruded polystyrene product made by American Fuji Seal. However, any suitable additional material can be used together with the material which shields microwaves.
FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) is a schematic illustration of a top and side view, respectively, of a typical overcap for a microwaveable container with 4 central vent holes (8).
The exact location of the shielding band may vary. Optimization of heating can be achieved by having a shielding band around the top portion of the side wall of the container (i.e. top band (4)), around the bottom portion of the side wall of the container (i.e. bottom band (5)), or around both the top and bottom portion of the side wall of the container (i.e. top band (4) and bottom band (5)).
The bands can be regular in shape, such as the continuous ribbon-like shape shown in the
Preferably, the band is incorporated onto the exterior of the container and does not directly contact the foodstuff. The attachment can be accomplished by any means commonly known by those skilled in the packaging arts. Methods can include gluing or integral incorporation during fabrication of the container. Shrink wrap techniques may be used to affix the shielding band to the container. Alternatively, a shielding band can be incorporated more intimately with the container during container manufacture. Intimate incorporation of a shielding band(s) can be achieved with an �insert molding� process.
Insert molding is a molding process whereby resin or plastic is injected or formed into a cavity around an insert piece, such as a piece of microwave shielding material, which is placed into the same cavity prior to molding. The result is a single piece with the insert adhered by the resin or plastic. The insert, generally, can be made of metal or another plastic. In this invention, the insert is any material suitable to achieve microwaving shielding. Insert molding can be accomplished with a wide variety of materials, including polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, thermoplastic elastomers, and many engineering plastics.
The insert, and plastic or resin, can be held together (i.e., bonded) by either molecular or mechanical means. For molecular bonding, best results are achieved when the insert material is the same or similar to the encapsulating resin or plastic. Mechanical bonding can be achieved by shrinking resin or plastic around the insert while the resin or plastic cools down during the insert molding process. Alternatively, mechanical bonding can occur when resin or plastic covers irregularities in the surface of the insert material. The end result of insert molding, as applied to this invention, is the intimate incorporation of microwave shielding material to the inner and/or outer portion of the package used to contain the foodstuff. �Insert molding� and other suitable processes will be recognized by those skilled in the packaging arts. See http://www.devicelink.com/mddi/archive/96/04/010.html, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The width of the band may vary, depending on container size. As a general, but non-limiting, guidance, for a container having a side wall height of about 4 inches, the shielding band will be generally from about � inch to about 1� inches wide, more preferably from about � inches to about 1� inches wide. The corresponding surface area coverage of the side walls will vary generally from about 15 to 65%, more preferably from about 20 to 55%.
While two bands are illustrated, any suitable number of bands may be used. The bands may be in the form of vertical strips extending generally from the top to the bottom of the container. Furthermore, the strips or bands used can be regular or irregular in shape. Where bands are used around a bottom portion of a rounded-bottomed container, the dimensions of the band will vary from the top part of the band toward the bottom part of the band, to accommodate the curvature of the rounded corner.
The container of this invention may optionally include an overcap. The overcap can be a standard overcap or a locking overcap. The overcap may optionally have vent holes in the top surface of the overcap. The preferred placement of the holes includes holes located around the perimeter region of the top of the overcap and/or in the central region of the top of the overcap. Vent holes of varying diameters can be used, and the number of vent holes around the perimeter can also be varied, depending on the cap size and foodstuff. The vent holes in the examples below had a diameter of about 5/32 of an inch. Again, the size may vary, but will be readily determinable by routine methods. Shielding material may also be located on the overcap. The shield may cover from 0% to about 90%, preferably 20% to 90%, most preferably 50% to 90%, of the top surface area of the overcap. Such an overcap shield may, but need not, have vent holes.
Preferred embodiments of the invention will be further described by the following Examples which are illustrative only and do not limit the invention. The container used in the examples below had a rounded bottom edge. The containers used were made from Polypropylene manufactured by Rexam. The containers are known as a �401� container. The containers had a Plastishield label, and the shielding material, in the form of a band, was placed on top of the label, except for a few examples, as indicated, where the shield was placed underneath the label. For shielding, aluminum foil or aluminum tape of about 5 mil. thickness was used. Placement of the shield is as indicated in the examples. Where bottom shields were used, since the containers had a rounded bottom-edge, the bottom bands covered part of the side wall, and extended downward to cover part of the bottom of the container. The bottom shields never completely covered the bottom of the container, so that a central portion of the bottom was left uncovered.
Overcaps with or without vent holes were used, as indicated in the specific examples. Location of the vent holes, which were about 5/32 of an inch in diameter, were located either around the general perimeter of the top of the overcap, in the general center of the overcap, or both. In some examples, overcaps had shields. When used, the shielding on the overcap covered about 90% of the top surface area of the overcap. When shields were used on the overcap, and vent holes were also incorporated, the vent hole perforations were made in both the overcap and the overcap shield.
Various soups were used for the examples below. Containers were placed on the outer area of the microwave turntable. Samples were heated in either a 900 watt microwave (Panasonic) at high power or a 1200 watt microwave at high power. After heating for about 2 minutes, samples were stirred for 15 seconds, after which temperature was measured with a digital thermometer at various randomly chosen locations to obtain a high and low temperature. Other observations reflecting optimization of heating and microwave activity were also noted. The use of shielding reduced the activity (e.g., splatter, movement of container, generation of audible noises) during heating, as indicated in the Examples provided. This reduction in microwave activity reflects that heating had been optimized in comparison to the controls.
Although preferred embodiments are specifically illustrated and described herein above, it will be appreciated that many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings and within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention.

Most of the side effects of atropine are directly related to its antimuscarinic action. Dryness of the mouth, blurred vision, photophobia and tachycardia commonly occur with chronic administration of therapeutic doses. Anhidrosis also may occur and produce heat intolerance or impair temperature regulation in persons living in a hot environment. Constipation and difficulty in micturition may occur in elderly patients. Occasional hypersensitivity reactions have been observed, especially skin rashes which in some instances progressed to exfoliation.
Adverse effects following single or repeated injections of atropine are most often the result of excessive dosage. These include palpitation, dilated pupils, difficulty in swallowing, hot dry skin, thirst, dizziness, restlessness, tremor, fatigue and ataxia. Toxic doses lead to marked palpitation, restlessness and excitement, hallucinations, delirium and coma. Depression and circulatory collapse occur only with severe intoxication. In such cases, blood pressure declines and death due to respiratory failure may ensue following paralysis and coma.

- Midnight Huntress
Block Print and Process Videos
- Midnight Huntress is the latest print in my Native Beauties series. You will not find the Huntress prowling under the moonlight, she will find you.
Here you will also find a series of process videos that document the printing process of this design from start to finish.
Midnight Huntress is hand printed on 8.5x11 authentic French Nightshift Blue cover stock, with hand mixed water based block inks.
- The first step in the process is to transfer my illustration to the block using carbon paper. Next I ink the block with my pens, the inks will indicate the areas where I'll be carving. This gives me the opportunity to think more about what the finial print will look like. I like to be more deliberate at this stage rather than just carving over the pencils.
- This is the second step in the block printing process. The most tedious step, to carve that motha out. This is a very time consuming process in which, by the powers of iMove, I've been able to condense into about a 3-4 minute video. You'll witness a three – four hour span of time in which I carve, massage the wrists and drink a few beers. In the past, its taken me much longer but I'm getting faster these days.
- This is the third step in the block printing process. This is the most rewarding step in the process. This is the big payoff, when you see the fruits of all your hard labor. Through the carving process, its a little difficult to see how its gonna turn out so I'm always anxious to get to this step. You'll notice, I always get a little bit of help when it comes to pulling these prints.

The High Cost of Free Parking
Planners Press, American Planning Association, 2005 - Architecture - 734 pages
Off-street parking requirements are devastating American cities. So says Donald Shoup in this no-holds-barred treatise on the way parking should be. Free parking, Shoup argues, has contributed to auto dependence, rapid urban sprawl, extravagant energy use, and a host of other problems. Planners mandate free parking to alleviate congestion, but end up distorting transportation choices, debasing urban design, damaging the economy, and degrading the environment. Ubiquitous free parking helps explain why our cities sprawl on a scale fit more for cars than for people, and why American motor vehicles now consume one-eighth of the world's total oil production. But it doesn't have to be this way. Shoup proposes new ways for cities to regulate parking, namely, charge fair market prices for curb parking, use the resulting revenue to pay for services in the neighborhoods that generate it, and remove zoning requirements for off-street parking. Such measures, according to the Yale-trained economist and UCLA planning professor, will make parking easier and driving less necessary.

Swedish yellow peas.
I was in Ikea and saw a bag of dried yellow peas. Since Alice loves split pea soup I thought these would be fun to try. They aren't split, though, they are whole. Are they different than yellow split peas? The link is to the brand of peas I purchased.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lars Own
Here's a recipe from the cookbook "Swedish Recipes Old and New" Published by American Daughters of Sweden. That was interesting how the yellow peas was prepared on Thursday. You can find the story at Wikipedia:
(Arter med Flask)
1-lb. whole yellow peas
4 quarts cold water
1-lb. fresh pork shoulder
1 T. salt
1. Wash and drain peas thoroughly. Add 4 quarts water, cover and let soak overnight.
2. In the morning put on to cook in same water. Let come to simmering point. Skim off shells flaoting on top. Cover tightly and simmer 3 hours.
3. Cut pork into pieces and add to soup. Add salt. Continue simmering until peas and pork are tender, about 1 hour.
Yield: 8-10 servings
Note: For additional flavor, marjoram or pieces of ginger root may be added while soup is cooking or prepared mustard may be stirred into soup just before serving.
Thanks! I let them soak a day in the refrigerator. I'm going to make the soup today. The recipe on the package is very similar to the recipe you posted. It also mentions that it is a traditional Thursday supper meal throughout Sweden.
The package recipe says to dump the soaking water and makes no mention of skimming off the floating skins.
I would like it with pork but Alice refuses pork these days. Maybe because she raised a cute pink pig for the fair last summer? I have some chicken stock in the freezer and chicken sausages I will use instead.
I'll report back later tonight.
The soup is good. I like the flavor of these peas better than regular split green peas. More subtle. I didn't follow the traditional recipe as I didn't use pork. I used homemade chicken stock, 4 sliced chicken-apple sausages, a few diced stalks of celery, a couple of diced carrots, a chopped yellow onion, a couple of bay leaves and a 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. I also didn't skim the skins, it was bothersome and I figure they probably add fiber. They have cooked to a softened state. Yum! Simple comfort food for this rainy day.
This is a delicious and very different pea soup. I don't know where I got the recipe, so I apologize if it was from someone on this forum and I've failed to give credit.
Since it calls for split peas, you might want to soak the whole peas for a couple of hours first.
Yellow Split Pea Soup with Spiced Yogurt
2 T. butter or 1 Tbl each butter and oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1" piece of ginger, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tsp salt
Saute the above in the butter and oil. When onions are transparent, add 1/2 tsp cumin seed and 3 whole cloves. Stir and cook 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 2/3 c. Yellow split peas
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
6 c. water, chicken or vegetable stock
Cook 45-60 minutes or until peas are soft. Puree soup, return to stove and add more liquid in needed. Season with salt, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon.
Serve with the following to drizzle over top:
1/2 c. yogurt
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp cumin
pinch salt
This soup recipe sounds really good.
My yellow peas were more like garbanzo beans than peas, very large and very hard. I soaked them for 24 hours and they probably could have used a longer soak than that with no harm.
I will get some regular yellow split peas for this recipe when we are ready for more pea soup. Clipping and saving.
These peas do have a different, more delicate flavor and
are not split. They have to soak overnight. I haven't noticed
any skins floating on the soup ; they seem to stay on the peas
but they aren't tough or chewy in any way. I have made the soup
with a leftover Christmas ham bone and I like it better than the version
I used to make with green split peas. Also, make a vegan version with
veggie broth. Courtesy of Lindsay Nixon ("The Happy Herbivore")
I learned to add a teaspoon of tomato paste, half teaspoon of smoked paprika ,and a dash of pure maple syrup, replacing the ham taste nicely.

First in the Walt Longmire series. A long ago rape by 4 teenagers resurfaces as they seem to be targeted for murder.
I enjoy this series because of the witty and sarcastic dialogue that seems easy and unforced. The characters become more real when their conversations reflect a reality.
I love all the Longmire books and was a fan of them before the TV show. I especially love the audio versions. I wrote a fan email to Craig Johnson and he graciously replied. I highly reccommend the entire series.
I heard an interview with this author on CBC a few weeks ago and became intrigued. I decided to start with the first book in the series, which is this one. The setting is Wyoming, and Walt Longmire is the local sheriff. Walt is a Vietnam vet, in his fifties, a widower with a daughter who has moved away. He is a bit stuck in his grief since his wife died two years ago. His friends are trying to get him to move on, to finish the house his wife and him were building, and to maybe start a new relationship.
When he is notified of a man killed out in a field he sends his deputy, but the case looks like it might be linked to a case a while back where four young white men convinced a mentally handicapped young native woman to come with them and then sexually abused her. The dead man is one of the four men.
As the case progresses, Walt must depend on his friend Henry, and Henry must depend on Walt. The two of them fight to find the truth, against nature, against deceit, and with the help of the ancients. There is an emphasis on the type of gun used to commit the crime, and one gun like this comes into Walt's possession, the Cheyenne Death Rifle, with it's own story and interesting history. There are lots of interesting characters here, including Walt's deputy a young woman previously working for the Philadelphia police. Definitely a series I'd like to read more of.
I enjoyed all of Craig Johnson books and hopes he continues to add to Walt Longmire series.
Well, Johnson's Cold Dish makes me want to read the whole series of Longmire...what more could an author want?
For fans of James Lee Burke, Steve Hamilton and Robert B Parker. Great characters, intriguing setting and a top notch mystery.
I was looking up some information on the author and I noticed that A&E has turned the series into a television show. Longmire started running in June 2012 on Sunday evenings.
A quality police procedural filled with pathos, memorable characters, and wit, it's more than enough to pack a solid punch through whatever bland fiction funk you've been trying to escape from. This perfect blend of the mystery and western genres combines a well-developed plot and fast action with pinpoint description of the devastatingly beautiful mountain scenery of northern Wyoming. - WeareSpartacus/notTom
Craig Johnson brings a lot of his personal experience as a law enforcement officer and a writer to bear in his excellent debut.
Picked it up expecting Western trash, and was pleasantly surprised to find witty dialogue, engaging characters, and a fun mystery narrative.
A good start to a great series, not to be missed by fans of mysteries, westerns, both, or niether. The book will constantly surprise you and challenge your expectations going in to a Western.

Manukau City
Manukau City is no longer a separate entity but is now a part of Auckland. This former district used to be "South Auckland". The area displays an enormous amount of ethnic diversity with up to 55 ethnic groups with Polynesians, Maoris and Asians making up a chunk of the population. Although the city consisted largely of rural and semi-rural areas, it now boasts of a theme park and one of the earliest shopping malls in New Zealand. What draws people to this area is its unique mix of traditional and modern urban and rural, amidst differing cultures.
- Enjoy thrill and excitement at Rainbow's End in Manukau City. This is the only theme park in New Zealand and offers thrilling and exciting rides and for kids under eight there is the fun of Cadbury Castle Land.
- Explore the Butterfly Creek, a major attraction in Auckland where you can find salt-water crocodiles, birds, giant insects and more than 750 free-flying tropical species of butterflies.
- Enjoy a lovely day out at Howick Historical Village, a living museum with a rustic theme showcasing Auckland's life as it was in the early days.
Auckland's public transport system offers convenient connectivity from various parts to Manukau City.

The upcoming historic ceremony in St. Peter's Square as Pope Francis canonizes both John Paul and Pope John XXIII, the Italian pontiff known as "Good Pope John," will be attended by one remarkable woman. As the city swells with millions of the faithful, the canonizations will have special importance to mother-of-four Floribeth Mora Diaz. It was her delivery from a life-threatening brain aneurysm that led to Pope John Paul's sainthood.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - From Costa Rica, Mora was suffering from an aneurism that left her disabled with headaches. Local doctors refused to treat it and doctors in Mexico or Cuba were far too expensive. "The doctors told me there was no sense to continue treatment because they had done everything and there was not much more we could do," Mora told a packed news conference. "They said I only had one month to live and there was no hope."
Advised to pray, John Paul II appeared to Mora in a vision on the day he was beatified, the first step on the road to sainthood, after he was credited with his first miracle.
Check out our fine selection of Bibles -- by going here!
"I felt a deep sense of healing. I heard his voice say to me, 'Get up and don't be afraid,'" she said, recalling one of John Paul's signature lines.
"I went to my husband in the kitchen and told him I was cured. I realized little by little the illness had been taken away."
Doctors conducted tests on her for two weeks in October 2013 in order to confirm the miracle.
The first miracle attributed to John Paul was the apparent healing of a French nun, Sister Marie Simon-Pierre, who recovered from Parkinson's disease with no medical explanation after praying to the late pontiff soon after his death in 2005.
Pope Francis had provoked debate within the church by approving John XXIII's sainthood with only one miracle.
John was beatified in August 2000, based on what was considered a miraculous healing of an Italian nun, Sister Caterina Capitani, after a medical commission found no scientific explanation for the event.
Sister Adele Labianca, caring for Capitani, revealed details of what she called the miracle that saved the nun's life in May 1966 after she had prayed to the pope, who had died three years earlier.
Capitani had undergone an operation to remove a cancerous tumor in her stomach but her condition was deteriorating when she suddenly recovered. Labianca said doctors had no medical explanation for what took place.
"It was a miracle," said Sister Labianca. "Not only was it a physical healing but an internal healing when you could feel the presence of God."

Is Kevin Smith a top-10 fantasy back?
Is Kevin Smith a top-10 fantasy back?
Back in May, Kevin Smith made a bold statement in his blog that got a lot of attention, most of it of a derisive nature. He wrote, "I won't make a prediction about how many games we're going to win, but I will say this: We will definitely make the playoffs this season." Perhaps many of you rolled your eyes, shook your heads or did a classic spit-take when reading his words. After all, he did play for a team that went 0-16 last season, didn't he? While I'm not on board with Smith and his postseason plans just yet, I am completely down with the following prediction for 2009: "Kevin Smith will be a top-10 fantasy back this season."
At first blush, I understand your skepticism. After all, the Lions ranked 30th in rushing yards last season, ahead of only the Colts and Cardinals, and Matthew Stafford isn't exactly going to be mistaken for Peyton Manning or Kurt Warner any time soon, so the offense as a whole has a lot of growing to do. Certainly, if you were to try to list the top running backs in the NFL, Smith probably wouldn't come to mind in the same breath as Adrian Peterson, Michael Turner, Maurice Jones-Drew, Steven Jackson and LaDanian Tomlinson but exactly what kind of production are we talking about here? What kind of numbers does a top-10 back put up?
Last season, the No. 10 fantasy back in ESPN standard scoring was Jacksonville's Jones-Drew, who finished two points behind Clinton Portis of the Redskins. Smith finished a distant No. 18. Here's a look at the trio's final stats:
|Clinton Portis
|Maurice Jones-Drew
|Kevin Smith
Portis and Jones-Drew were two different styles of backs last season, with MJD being much more of a threat out of the backfield. Smith is much more suited for comparison with Portis, who doesn't rely on receptions to pad his overall yardage totals. So let's compare. Smith barely missed the 1,000-yard plateau in his rookie season but nearly equaled Portis' touchdown output in 104 fewer carries. At his 2008 success rate, which was 4.1 yards per carry, he would have had 1,402 yards if you gave him enough carries to match Portis, pretty darn close to a top-10 finish. And that doesn't take into account the fact the Smith got much better as the season went on. After using the first half of the season to get his feet wet, Smith gained 671 yards on 168 carries over the last eight games, compared to 305 yards on only 70 carries in the first eight games.
With Maurice Morris as Smith's only "competition" for carries, it's clear the Lions are going to give him nearly all of the workload, which should give him more than ample opportunity to reach nearly 1,500 yards for the season. The offensive line added Jon Jansen, who did the lion's share of blocking for our good friend Portis in Washington last season, and rookie tight end Brandon Pettigrew, who is 6-5 and weighs in at 265 pounds. That certainly will open up some holes for the running back as well.
Additionally, the Lions brought in Bryant Johnson and Dennis Northcutt to join forces with the man called "Megatron" (Calvin Johnson) in the wide receiving corps. Regardless of whether the team turns to its rookie quarterback right away or lets him learn by watching Daunte Culpepper, this offense certainly will look like something that belongs in the NFL, after suffering through five signal-callers and the likes of Shaun McDonald, John Standeford, John Owens and the well-traveled Keary Colbert running patterns by season's end. If this offense can finally shake its long-lingering Mike Martz hangover and approach even an average run-pass ratio, Smith is almost certain to get those extra hundred carries he needs to bring his workload into the realm of the NFL elite.
Those are the pros on Smith, but even if he falls a bit short of expectations, there's still a great chance he could finish in the top 10 as other backs fall short of their usual performance levels. Larry Johnson and Willie Parker? Old by football standards, and both on the downside. Brian Westbrook? He's sure to lose some playing time to LeSean McCoy in order to keep him at full strength for the entire season. Marshawn Lynch? He'll miss the first three games of the season due to suspension. Chris Johnson? He'll get his yards, but LenDale White still will vulture a bulk of the fantasy points in the red zone.
Finally, there's the psychological factor. Defenses will see that "Detroit" on their schedules and, based on last season's record, smile at the chance to "take a bit of a breather." We're not suggesting teams will lie down for the Lions, but let's face it -- when the Rams play Minnesota, Jacksonville and Indianapolis in the three weeks before their tilt with Smith & Co., odds are they won't be showing up at Ford Field with the same level of intensity. That's sure to add a little padding to the Lions' running backs' season totals. By the end of the 16-game schedule, even if Detroit falls a bit short of Smith's "guarantee," the fantasy owner who drafts him can pretty much make a playoff guarantee of his own.

My mom's health is declining....
My husband & I are sole caregivers for my 82y.o. mother with moderate dementia. Her health has been declining for the past 6 weeks. She went from basic independent functioning to almost total dependence. She constantly complains of nausea, but no vomiting, accompanied with intermittent bouts of diarrhea. Her appetite has decreased dramatically. BP and blood sugars are all good. No recent changes in what meds she's taking. One doctor visit & 2 ER visits have yielded nothing. We are at our wits end. We consulted a geriatric specialist, he changed her antidepressant from Zoloft to Prozac, but I don't think there's been time to reach a therapeutic effect.
If anyone has any suggestions...
She is a candidate for Hospice. Medicare has a hospice benefit. Her doctor can order a hospice evaluation, they will come out at a time convenient for you and assess her, and you won't be at your wit's end anymore, and your Mom will be comfortable. This can be a very special time, actually, for all of you! I wish you the best.
The same symptoms happened to my 80-year-old mother. We took her to the ER, where at first they couldn't find anything particularly wrong other than her usual old-lady complaints. It turned out to be a UTI. UTIs cause all kinds of symptoms in the elderly that are different from what happens to younger people.
She's fine now, after a course of antibiotics -- or as fine as she ever gets. Her appetite has returned, and digestion is okay. Hospice would have been premature for her.
How are things today? I agree about the UTIs, check with the doctor.
I also want to urge you to check and try to find some sort of support for yourselves. In my area, we have a caregivers support group. CHeck at the hospitals, the Alzheimer's association, the hospice, and ask about either a group or private support, so you'll have a local shoulder to lean on.
Best of luck to you. CHeck in here when you can.
Thank you for all of the responses and ideas. We were finally able to get an appointment with an internal medicine/geriatric specialist Monday. He was great! He made some changes to her medications and also gave us something to treat the nausea. Today was a good day. I am cautiously optimistic. I have also contacted our local community services board to find out what kind of assistance/support is available to us.

Voicemail vs. answering machine?
Hi there,
I usually hang out on some of the other forums here (Kitchens, Appliances, etc.), but this question is bugging me. I hope it's appropriate for this forum.
We just moved into our newly remodeled house and it's time to buy new phones. Our old ones were badly in need of retirement anyway. I've noticed that a large percentage of new cordless phones out there are now the expandable systems with the main base and various extention phones that don't need a phone jack, just the AC plug. I've used a couple of these systems previously and been pleased enough with it.
My question is, I'm shocked to see that virtually all of them include digital answering systems; in fact, I'm not sure I found one that DIDN'T include the answering "machine". This surprises me because I thought most people use voicemail now. Is this not the case? We've used voicemail through Verizon for years. Don't love it, don't hate it, it's just what we have.
Am I missing something? I'm behind the times technology-wise where regular old phones are concerned -- are their compelling reasons to use your own answering system rather than voicemail? I suppose saving the voicemail fee would be one, just didn't know if there are others. Do digital answering systems have some awesome features not available through voicemail?
Sorry if this is a dumb question -- I just have a feeling there must be something I don't know, or more phones would be available WITHOUT an answering machine included.
There still are people who prefer not to store voicemail on "someone else's" computer. And now that answering systems are digital, adding those features to a phone is relatively cheap and lets the manufacturer sell another feature. It's also probably cheaper to manufacture, ship, and advertise one model with a feature that some people don't use than to manufacture one model with answering and a model without.
I noticed the same thing!! I was considering a new phone of the type you describe and it kind of bothered me to have to pay for an answering machine I'm never going to use. My old ones don't have an answering machine - but I couldn't find any new ones that don't. I ended up keeping what I have for now. I got sick of the malfunctioning answer machines of years past and switched to the voicemail. Maybe the new ones are better - and you can save that extra fee on your phone bill.
I love having vmx at the office, but much prefer the digital answering machine at home. Having to dial in to listen to your messags is a big pain, IMHO.
We have one of those expandable systems you mention - an AT&T with one central phone/answering machine and 3 separate remote handhelds that sit in a stand which plugs into the wall for the electrical - but you don't need a phone jack, so you can put them anywhere that you have wall plug. Ours are speaker phones and also have a place for plugging in a headset. I work remotely a lot these days, so I use the headset for all of my conference calls.
Again, for those who don't mind having to manage a vmx box where you have to dial in, listen, delete, and learn all the commands for saving or replaying or FF messages, then that's fine. For me, I still prefer the integrated answering machine for home use because it saves steps.
Speaking from experience, when I lived in NC we were hit by Hurricane Fran and lost power for a few days. If I had an answering machine I would not been able to check my messages. Luckily because VM was on a server some where, I was still able to check my messages.
I can say when I began looking for a cordless unit w/o an answering machine it was difficult. Then I started going to the websites of the brands I liked. I performed searches based on what I wanted in a phone and spoke with a CS rep to ensure I got the best device.
I vote for VM.
I have noticed the same thing. My question is, if you buy a new cordless system with an integrated answering machine and you already have voicemail, do you get to choose which one you want to use - or does one of the systems take over by default? I'd rather not be stuck without a choice in the matter.

Is it too early to talk about the holidays? Walgreens doesn't think so; pictures of snowmen and snowflakes are already pasted to the windows. Neither does Chef Jean-Pierre of the renowned French restaurant The Left Bank (214 SE Sixth Ave., Fort Lauderdale, 954-763-8861). The exquisitely refined restaurant won't be indulging in portraits of Frosty, but it recently published its holiday menus -- yes, it's open on all the majors. Dishes include such seasonal delights as butternut squash and bourbon bisque (Thanksgiving); roasted duck, spinach, and pancetta risotto (Christmas); and pork tenderloin stuffed with sun-dried plums and mascarpone (New Year's Day). The Left Bank also offers great stocking stuffers: gift certificates for the restaurant and for Jean-Pierre's cooking school, now in its fourth year.

About three weeks ago, I got somehow stuck with my design for FTDs Polk Salad Annie and so I switched to a show, which is a favorite concert of mine, the midnight show of March 22, 1975.
The problem is, I got stuck with that one too. Here are two somewhat unrefined versions of the front cover which differ in typographical details only, but which would nevertheless result in completely different designs for the other cover parts. I prefer the clearness of the first version, but it is certainly not enchanting, as my title suggests.
Which version would you prefer? It is important for me, since the rest of design will be affected by your vote, too.

Food servers are tasked with taking orders accurately, answering guest questions about the menu or restaurant in general, and then delivering that food in a timely manner. A food server is also expected to perform quality control work by checking back with guests. The server also presents the check at the end of service and may process the payment. In restaurants without bus persons, the server also cleans and resets his or her table after guests depart.Read More...
A good server must be fluent and knowledgeable about the menu at his or her restaurant and able to answer at least basic questions that a guest may have.
The server is typically expected to serve the tables as food comes up, or at least be available if a food runner is used to bring food out of the kitchen. Servers are the first line of customer service. They must be skilled at handling any issues or complaints that may arise, while also understanding the point at which escalating things to a supervisor or manager becomes necessary. Servers are also expected to maintain service at tables, keeping drinks refilled and clearing plates as courses are completed. Servers are typically expected to try to offer add-ons and upsells to guest orders in a pleasant manner, as well as courses like appetizers or desserts.
Servers typically do not need extensive formal education, with practical experience and aptitude being favored in this field. This can be a very high-stress occupation, and most servers spend long shifts in constant motion and on their feet. Servers typically work lunch and/or dinner hours in a restaurant environment.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $19K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $23K. On average, Food Servers make $22K following one to two decades on the job. Food Servers who have spent more than 20 years on the job report earning a significantly higher median of $23K.

mice eating my houseplants?
I just began caring for houseplants this past year, so I am new at all this. For over two weeks now something has been chewing the leaves off my houseplants and also digging holes in the soil. I assumed it to be mice but many mousetraps have gone untouched. I have found droppings that look like mice droppings in the rooms that contain plants. It's getting very frustrating to find 5-10 leaves on my floor every morning. Does anyone have any ideas or help for me?
It's time for some major exterminating. I'm not sure that this is a houseplant problem, but a mouse problem! Change your mousetraps, provide a different kind of bait, try several different kinds of traps, or call an exterminator. A large population of indoor mice can be a health hazard for several reasons. Good luck!
I saw the first mouse on Sun..and yes, they've dug in my plants, made holes, and chewed leaves, too..As much as I hate using poisons, I ended up buying D-Con/D-Kon ..it really helps..I set it in rooms where my birds can't get it. I don't like using traps cause I dont want to remove their corpses. Yuck. Soon, more mice will come in and I'll have my hands full. I also buy sticky traps and place behind the stove, etc..it works..Toni
wow, this too has just started with us too! I can't beleive this is happening to others! we put down traps with the favorite Peanutbutter. Not one trap was touched! they just dig the dirt out of my plants. Why do they do this? others can't beleive that the peanutbutter was not touched.nOw we bought a few of the ultra sonic rodent things. they DO work! it chases them out of the house!
Don't spend a lot of money on those untra-sonic things.
Here is a link that might be useful: Something to think about
I hate the thought of using any type of poisonous bait where there are pets in the home. Rodenticide baits are very attractive to other animals. It is soooo easy to leave a door open accidentally and to all of a sudden find your pet in the same room with the bait!
Though it is difficult to find all of the places where mice can gain access to the home, I think that people do miss some of the obvious entries. Check those areas under or around the home where pipes enter the home. Crawl spaces may need to be looked at, too.
I lived in a home where I had to deal with some mice one winter. I used a couple of snap traps baited with gummy worms wound around the 'trigger'. They had to work at it a little bit to get to it all, ;-)
Here is a link that might be useful: A pretty good FACT SHEET
I thought I was the only one that had this problem. I thought it was a mouse/rat, however, I haven't found any droppings or holes eaten through my furniture, or whatever. I have tried traditional mouse traps, and the sticky boards and NOTHING! He digs holes in my house plants only - doesn't get into the loose food on the counters in my kitchen (bread, chips, etc). Does anyone have any other ideas?
I recommend the Live Traps (like these - http://www.abundantearth.com/store/mousetrap1.html). They work REALLY WELL, in my experience. We used to have mice and voles occasionally, growing up, and we put these traps out with a little piece of bread/cracker with peanut butter on it, and the next day the little critters were inside the trap! Then you just let them go somewhere far away :) Much safer than poisons. For the plants, you can always spray a mixture of hot peppers & water (I steep about 5 habaneros in a qt or so of hot water, for a few days, for outdoor plants); should stop any rodents!
There's a live trap called the 'Tin Cat' that works pretty well. I purchased one at a garden supply/feed store several years ago. You put bait in it, the mice go in and you just take the trap outside away from your house and lift the lid to let them go.

Fishing: From hockey nets to landing nets, Kvalevog guides on Leech Lake
Brad Dokken
Forum News Service
WALKER — The bend in Toby Kvalevog's fishing rod told him the walleye he'd been looking for was down there at the other end of the line.
"That's a big one," he said, playing the heavy fish that hit a jig tipped with a shiner minnow in about 10 feet of water. "This is why I like fishing Leech Lake. It sure feels good anyway."
