runs hot with load behind it
well ive got a 2004 6.0 f350 and its been a good truck . but i was pulling a skidsteer and went up a hill the temp shot up to the roof . then drop back down with in 30 sec . so i said oh well drove it for a another 3 months no problems hook my rockcrawler behind it and was going then the first big hill it shot up again and back down 5 or 6 times then stayed hot . so i pulled in a adavnce auto and put a thermostat in it hoping it was sticking.
filled it with water the road made it another 50 miles run hot again . so we got some food came back out and it was 1.5 gal low filled it up and drove another 50 miles to the park . then started home and the same hill it overheated again so pulled over and filled with water and came on home with no probs .
so if anyone can understand all that .. any ideas what it could be ?
If it's still under warranty get it in to the dealership/shop quick.
You've got a either got a busted EGR cooler, oil cooler plugged, or popped head gaskets. Or all of the above. But I guarantee you it's one or more of the 3...
Good luck and welcome to the .ORG.
Welcome to the org. Sounds like head gaskets. Is your fan coming on?
yes fan is coming on and its got 160000 on it so no warranty but what the oil cooler plugged how does it make it run hot
Ok, Oil cooler run in series with EGR Cooler. The oil cooler is water to oil, and uses coolant to remove heat from oil. This is transfered out to radiator by coolant. If oil cooler gets plugged, the EGR cooler(which cools the exhaust gas that is recirculated in your engine for emissions purposes), will overheat, thereby causing pressure spikes in the cooling system, thus causing coolant loss out of the overflow bottle.
Also, International uses "stretch" bolts to secure the heads to the block on these engines. They supposedly "improve clamping uniformity" during assembly, but in reality, all they do is end up "stretching" more, and over time and under heavy load, they literally allow the heads to "lift" off of the block during heavy loads. This allows combustion gas to enter your cooling system, also causing pressure spikes, air bubbles, loss of coolant, and overheating during loading. Pretty common problem. So common in fact, it one of the main things to repair to make a 6.0 reliable. The EGR heat issues just make the head problem worse.
So to fix your issue. you should do the following. Even if the gasket are not blown now, they eventually will, and can leave you stranded.
1. Replace head gaskets. Use ford oem parts, except for the head bolts. Replace these with ARP head stud kit.
2. Delete EGR system completely. There are vendors here that sell complete EGR Delete kits.
3. Install Coolant Filter system. This will prevent any gunk from getting into your oil cooler. Also when head gaskets are done, is good time to replace this.
4. (optional, but recommended) Reprogram computer with SCT tuning software. Eric at Innovative Diesel has one of the best reputations around. This will vastly improve the performance of your engine, reduce EGT during towing, and improve mpg.
This does not come cheap, but in the end, you'll have a completely different truck, and reliable to boot.

Good idea. Poor construction. Over the years, I've had a lot of compasses as a 17-year-member and Team Leader of a local S&R organization. They just interest me and I get a lot of use from them. I've owned several Bruntons, Silvas, and Suuntos among others. Every Brunton I've owned eventually got a bubble in the capsule. None of the Silvas. The disc (needle) of the Brunton also jumps off the needle it rotates on, causing it to tip off at an angle. It's just bothersome for the amount of $ one… Full review
Solaris USB
Good inexpensive product. Very durable and efficient. I have had quite a few different brands of these panels and these are some of the best for light use. Picks up well in indirect sun and continuous charging with very little. Brunton has never been a popular product where I live and that is where the benefit is reaped. These are much better panels than Goal Zero panels in a comparable size. They can also be picked up for much less money. I bought mine on eBay new out of the package, for a display… Full review
Fair product for getting by. Seems more like a gimmick. This is a good unit if you only need to keep your cell charged or maybe a simple GPS. Doesn't store much power and charges very slowly. Doesn't include any adapters, only a double ended cord with a USB on one end and mini USB on the other. Takes an insane amount of time to charge. Doesn't have an indicator light other than the one that shows how full the battery is. Probably because it wouldn't charge if an indicator light blinked continuously… Full review

TORONTO -- The San Antonio Spurs can always count on Tony Parker and Tim Duncan when the going gets tough.

Duncan scored 26 points, while Manu Ginobili added 15 off the bench for the Spurs (11-3). DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors (3-11) with 29 points.

San Antonio's Danny Green, who finished with 13 points and nine rebounds, hit a 3-pointer on the first shot of the second overtime.

Making Drupal Websites "Retina Ready"
If you've used a device with a Retina display to browse the web or develop a website, you might have noticed that some of the images look a little fuzzy. Retina devices require images that have twice the number of pixels to appear normally on the screen. This is a bit of a pain for front-end developers. It means that if you want to display a 100x100 image on a website, you also need a 200x200 version of that image retina devices, and then you need to scale it down to size when it's displayed.

Drupal - Web Experience Toolkit Webinar on December 3rd
On December 3rd, we're hosting a free webinar about the Drupal - Web Experience Toolkit distribution.

In the case of the Drupal - Web Experience Toolkit, this is a version of Drupal that is bilingual by default, it comes with a responsive theme that implements the Government of Canada look and feel, and it has lots of extra tools for content authoring and publishing workflow.

Documentation is great, and clear, consistent, easy-to-read documentation is even better. Sphinx is a tool that helps you create structured documentation that looks great.

Keep evolution warning labels out of textbooks, NCSE tells court
NCSE in the Washington Post
NCSE was featured prominently in Peter Slevin's article "Teachers, Scientists Vow to Fight Challenge to Evolution," published in the May 5, 2005, issue of the Washington Post. The article begins with a review of the situation in Kansas, where the state board of education is conducting a contentious series of hearings on the place of evolution in the state science standards.
NCSE Sued by Caldwell
Larry Caldwell, a parent in Roseville, California, has filed suit against Dr. Eugenie Scott, Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education, and the National Center for Science Education, Inc., alleging he was libeled by a recent article authored by Dr. Scott in California Wild magazine.
NCSE's Scott to appear on Hardball
On April 21, 2005, NCSE executive director Eugenie C. Scott is scheduled to appear on MSNBC's Hardball show, hosted by Chris Matthews, to discuss the debate over evolution education, especially in Kansas. Also scheduled to appear is the Reverend Terry Fox, a Southern Baptist minister in Wichita, Kansas.
Scott to be honored by OSU
On March 2, 2005, The Ohio State University announced that NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the university's winter quarter commencement on March 20, where she will also deliver the commencement address. OSU's press release describes Scott as "considered one of the most active and articulate proponents for scientific literacy in the country ... nationally recognized as a proponent of the separation of church and state ...
Project Steve in Ottawa
Shortly after its second anniversary, Project Steve -- NCSE's exercise in poking fun at the lists of "scientists who doubt evolution" promulgated by antievolutionist groups -- was featured on the first page of the Sunday edition of one of Canada's leading newspapers.
NCSE Supporter Dalrymple receives National Medal of Science
Noted geologist and NCSE Supporter G. Brent Dalrymple was named a 2005 National Medal of Science Laureate, in an announcement made on February 14, 2005, by President Bush. The medals will be awarded at a White House ceremony on March 14, 2005.
Forrest in Church and State
Barbara Forrest was interviewed by Americans United for Separation of Church and State about her book (coauthored with Paul R. Gross) Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design (Oxford University Press, 2004). An excerpt from the interview will appear in the February 2005 issue of Church and State, the monthly journal of Americans United, and the complete text appears on the Americans United web site.
Newsweek feature story on evolution, "intelligent design," Steves
The February 7, 2005, issue of Newsweek contains a feature story about recent attempts across the country to insert "intelligent design" into public school science classrooms.
Roland Mushat Frye dies
The eminent scholar Roland Mushat Frye died on January 20, 2005, at the age of 83, in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1922, Frye earned three degrees, including his Ph.D., from Princeton University. He served in the United States Army during World War II and was awarded the Bronze Star. After the war, he taught at Emory University and was a research professor in residence at the Folger Shakespeare Library before settling at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was the Felix E. Schelling Professor of English Literature until retiring in 1983.

Matt Hasselbeck spoke on a cell phone outside the Seattle Seahawks' locker room while his three kids stood by.
I assumed the veteran quarterback was participating in a radio show following his four-touchdown performance against New Orleans in the wild-card round of the playoffs last season. How naive. With Hasselbeck's 5-year-old son now putting the experts to shame through unbelievable NCAA Tournament predictions, I'm thinking the quarterback must have been calling in Henry's picks for the NFL's divisional round.
Young Henry's team ranks 103rd out of more than 5.9 million entries on ESPN.com's NCAA Tournament Challenge.
Forget babysitters. Get this kid a bookie.
As Aaron Levine of Fox Q13 in Seattle noted Monday, Henry Hasselbeck filled out his bracket based on which team mascots he preferred. So far, he has correctly picked some unlikely Sweet Sixteen participants, including the Richmond Spiders, Virginia Commonwealth Rams and the Florida State Seminoles.
Wait, Matt Hasselbeck's son took the Rams? At least they weren't facing North Carolina-Wilmington.
Henry has traditional powers Kentucky, Duke and Kansas joining Florida in the Final Four.
Now, if only he could tell us when this NFL lockout is going to end.

5 Healthy Towns Foundation
He Has a Big Name. We have Big Ideas.
Tom Brady (NFL quarterback) is opening a sports therapy clinic to train athletes properly and PREVENT injury.
Think of the 5 healthy towns initiative as our 5 healthy towns own version of prevention only instead of prevention for elite athletes, it's prevention for you and me. We want everyone to have the opportunity to get and stay well.
Chelsea, Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester and Stockbridge won't get the press Tom Brady does but who needs all that attention, anyway?
It's The Right Thing To Do…..
Everywhere we look we're being told to "Eat whole grains." "Eat fresh food." It's very popular and quite hip to buy organic, at farmers markets or to grow your own food.
When did the food world turn upside down? Not more than two generations ago it was the poor people who ate whole grains & grew their own food because processing was more expensive.
I am going to fly in the face of the pundits who say it's expensive to eat healthy foods. Ounce for ounce, you still get better value & better food value if you buy whole foods instead of processed foods. Compare by weight and nutritional labels the difference between un-popped popcorn and pre-packaged popcorn; old fashioned oatmeal and instant oatmeal; Rice a Roni™; a bag of potatoes and a box of instant cheesy potatoes; fresh chicken or even chicken pieces and frozen, breaded chicken fingers…
We don't have to let hipster, foodies and food industry marketing hijack healthy eating. Ignore all the hype and serve and eat whole and fresh foods because you know it's the right thing to do.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
There's a study that tells us if we want a mentor we shouldn't pick the flashy, high profile producer (the fastest runner, biggest loser or mother-of-the-year). The study suggests we select the solid producer who day in & day out does a good job. They are easier to copy because their production isn't likely to have included some luck or big risks that happened to work out.
Once again, slow & steady wins the race. That usually goes for changing your health habits, too.
The More the Merrier
If you want to buy a pair of shoes, a corner with three shoe stores is the best place to look for that perfect pair.
If you want to work out, a community with a variety of fitness and wellness center options is a great community in which to live.
We all have ideas about what a 'work out' center should provide. Some people like child care, certified trainers or the opportunity to swim laps. Others are content to let themselves into a 'turnkey' operation and do a 30 minute circuit without assistance.
The Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation's goal is to get EVERYONE moving. Somewhere in your community is just the right option for you. Maybe it's a full-service center with medical integration programs, diabetes education classes and open gym time like the new Dexter Wellness Center. Or maybe it's the body builder special at a local weight lifting gym, Pilates in a home studio or jogging on local walks and trails. In our 5 healthy towns you have access to all kinds of options. We just want you to find the one that works for you & have at it!
Maybe Dennis the Menace's Parents had it Right
Over the weekend I read about two interesting studies.
First, in one study, on average, for each additional hour of television a child watches on weeknights, their potential for incarceration as an adult increases by 30%. What?! Yes, 30%.
Second, studies of school-age kids have found that regular aerobic exercise can expand their working memory—the capacity that allows us to manage facts and ideas to solve problems. It improves the ability to pay attention and inhibits disruptive impulses. Regular exercise and overall physical fitness is consistently linked to academic achievement (the same is true for adults and our activities of daily living).
It's an old-fashioned idea, but maybe playing outside is also a good idea.
More on Grocery Shopping
I have a friend who lives in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Whenever he visits Chelsea (his home town) he marvels at the choices in the produce isle of the local grocery stores. When I saw him at Christmas he said "What an amazing selection of greens!"
This week I read an editorial that started with a sentence something like "Every isle in the grocery store is filled with guilt producing choices."
Yikes! Our abundance – real, true abundance, should not be guilt producing. We should be invigorated by it, like my friend from the UAE. Embrace our good fortune to live in a place where we can find 2 or 3 kinds of kale, veggie chips, Canadian bacon, chicken raised without additives, milk & multiple milk substitutes, grains beyond imagination, fresh produce, organic produce, dried produce, frozen produce and sliced/diced & pre-washed produce.
If you do need rules for grocery shopping to help you reduce the guilt, these were my Mom's rules.
- Stay around the edges of the store where the food is real, less manufactured (produce, dairy, fresh protein, whole grain breads).
- Look high & low for the healthiest foods. The more expensive, highly processed foods are often at eye level.
That's all there is to it. Happy, hearty, healthy eating.
Healthy Groceries Can Go A Long Way
The other day I heard again that 'healthy groceries are more expensive than unhealthy groceries'. In the past year or two, prices on things like produce have gone up, a lot. But guess what. So have the prices on empty calories like macaroni & cheese, junky cereal & chips.
Groceries are very expensive these days. And it's true – it's cheaper to buy a box of mac & cheese than a whole chicken & a few vegetables to go with it. But you eat a lot longer & healthier on a simple pot of soup than a box of mac & cheese. A box of barely or brown rice to go with your soup is a pretty inexpensive way to fill the family up.
A bag of oranges, onions, potatoes, package of celery, and another of carrots can feed a family for days, along with some simple cuts of meat, dried or canned beans & rice. I challenge anyone to find 3 days of pre-packaged dinners to feed that same family for less money – especially if we're reading labels & you want your pre-packaged food to provide fruit, vegetable, lean protein, whole grains, low saturated fats & salt.
Even as I'm writing this, I'm thinking we should have a shopping challenge! It could be fun.
p.s. Next we should take on the myth it takes a long time to prepare a healthy meal. And after that, maybe we can talk about a problem that's even tougher to conquer. How many kids really prefer chicken & rice soup to mac & cheese?
Don't Give Up!
Are you thinking of giving up on those New Year's resolutions? Wait! How about a compromise?
Maybe you were thinking too big when you decided if you just lost 40 pounds you could fit into your wedding dress from 30 years ago.
Before you give up completely, try a little goal (followed by another little goal). Your new goal could be as simple as making time to replace walking shoes so worn it hurts your knees to wear them. With new shoes you may find inspiration.
There is no reason to give up. Just make some amendments to lofty goals. One step at a time. One day at a time.

DWC Coming Soon
Don't despair, all those who want concrete membership & opening information about the Dexter Wellness Center. It's just around the corner.
Do you remember in Chelsea we drove by a 'Coming Soon' sign at the site of the Chelsea Wellness Center for about a decade? It might have been longer. Now that was a long lead time!
It takes time to build and pull together all the operating pieces of a state-of-the art Wellness Center. Everyone involved is working as hard & as fast as we can.
We don't mind questions (www.dexterwellness.org to contact us or see pictures of A.R. Brouwer's handiwork). We're gratified by your interest. And like you, we feel like kids waiting for Christmas morning. We can hardly wait!
Who Wants to be Fit?
These are the types of people we see at our wellness centers, these days. See if you fall into any of the categories, below. By the way – they are all overcoming something to get or stay well. Good for you if you're already working toward a healthier you!
Terribly out of shape/NOT skinny and feeling it. Congratulations to those who overcome their discomfort (physical & emotional) and make a decision to work out & connect in a healthy way.
Parents with young families who have little time for themselves. They are scraping out a few hours a week for a workout or class. It may be what keeps them sane.
Middle age in decent shape, but fighting to stay healthy and strong so they can actively enjoy their senior years.
Recent patients working with a medical professional (often a physical therapist) to get back to better functioning.
Healthy teens, many with competitive goals. But not always.
Seniors who embrace their aging selves and want to maximize every day. They also find good company at their local wellness center.
There aren't a lot of the 'beautiful people' in spandex at our wellness centers. We're kinda proud of that. Of course, the extraordinarily fit are welcome too. You serve as inspiration!

ORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 17, 2011) — Dr. Shannon A. Bowen was awarded the Jackson Jackson & Wagner Behavioral Science Prize by the PRSA Foundation during the Monday general session on Oct. 17 at the PRSA 2011 International Conference. This award recognizes individual behavioral science researchers whose scholarly work enhances the understanding of the concepts and theories that contribute to the effectiveness of public relations practice.
"This award by JJ&W and PRSA is an important moment for our field: my body of research on ethics winning this prestigious recognition emphasizes the centrality of ethics to our profession," said Dr. Bowen. "Ethics is a crucial part of top management at any organization, but in PR, with such an enormous role in the formation of public policy, ethics is the key to determining the responsibilities and status of the industry. I am delighted that this award highlights the primacy of ethics to our emerging profession."
Dr. Bowen is associate professor at the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, and is a member of PRSA. She specializes in communication ethics, strategic communication management, issues management, dominant coalition decisions, public relations theory, organizational communication, social media and engagement, and the intersection of organizational culture with ethics.
As a quantitative research analyst for the polling firm American Viewpoint, Dr. Bowen designed research and strategy for numerous corporate and political clients, including Philip Morris, Dow Corning and Monsanto. She also served as a consultant analyst to Lake Sosin Snell and Perry Research on political candidates. She spent a year on Capitol Hill as a constituent relations specialist for Congressman Floyd D. Spence, then chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on National Security.
"The Jackson Jackson & Wagner Behavioral Science Prize is one of the most prestigious honors in public relations research," said Debbie A. Mason, APR, Fellow PRSA, president of the PRSA Foundation Board of Trustees, and president & CEO of the United Way of North Central Florida. "The Jackson Jackson & Wagner firm name really is synonymous for behavioral public relations. The PRSA Foundation is grateful to the firm's principals for its continued support of their endowed award.
"Support of research is one of the three major endeavors of the PRSA Foundation. We're pleased to honor Dr. Shannon Bowen as she and her colleagues have made significant and meaningful contributions to promoting the strategic value research as the core of effective public relations practice."
Dr. Bowen sits on the board of directors of the nonprofit International Public Relations Research Conference (IPRRC), and was the 2010-2011 chair of the Media Ethics Division of AEJMC. She also serves on several journal editorial boards and is a contributing editor of Media Ethics and a joint editor of the top-tier journal Ethical Space: The International Journal of Communication Ethics. Dr. Bowen is currently writing a public relations textbook.
"JJ&W's Behavioral Prize was created to honor those who have contributed an important body of research to the profession in order for us, as practitioners, to be maximally effective in helping organizations achieve mutually beneficial relationships," said Stacey Smith, APR, Fellow PRSA, senior counsel & partner, Jackson Jackson & Wagner. "Dr. Bowen's body of work on public relations ethics has done just this. JJ&W is exceedingly pleased with her selection by the nominating committee. Ethics was of the highest importance to our founder, Patrick Jackson, and continues to remain so to all members of the firm."

Problem with filters in iOS app
Asked on Nov 24, 2013 - 11:40 UTC
I just can't get the filters to work - filter for "@xx | @yy" is working fine, but if I try "(7 days) & (@xx | @yy)", it doesn't work at all.
Is there a problem in the syntax?
Thank you in advance!

Item of the Day: LeSportsac Luggage
You know that awkward moment when you're huddled around the baggage carousel with all of the strangers that totally bugged you on your six hour flight from New England to Los Angeles and your eyes are fixed on the luggage drop because you're worried one of those jagweeds is going to "mistakenly" grab your boring black suitcase? Okay, so I'm super cranky when it comes to baggage claim, but if you can relate to the above situation on any level, I have a solution to your problem.
I'm knee-deep in my LeSportsac phase right now and it's because they keep releasing items that are just too cool and unique for me to ignore. The Classic collection offers amazing designs for their wheeled luggage that are sure to stand out among the blur of plain black suitcases that never seem distinct enough for their owners to easily spot.
These fun and bright designs might not be for everyone. I wear bright shoes, bright clothes and bright accessories. I know, Nicki Minaj and I would make obnoxiously perfect twinsies. So this luggage is perfectly paired with my style. There are several super cute designs to choose from and since it's LeSportsac, you'll get to enjoy these high quality pieces for a long time.
You're clothes represent the unique and wonderful individual that you are. So shouldn't the bag you keep those clothes in, also show off your unique style? Why not, right? Pick up your sweet new luggage here.

When growth occurs on the hard palate in the roof of the mouth it is called palatal (or maxillary) torus and usually interferes with full or partial dentures. Sometimes, if a patient needs a prosthesis, it may be necessary to remove the tori and eliminate undercuts that make denture construction difficult.
Definition of Maxillary Torus from the Wiki Medical Dictionary: Maxillary torus are defined as a bone growth in the middle of the palate, the lingual surface of the mandible in the premolar region, and the buccal aspect of both the maxilla and mandible.
What are Palatal Tori?
Palatal tori are not bone, but the bony growth that can occur on the inside of the lower jaw or the palate.
Excessive growth of bone in the upper palate is called palate Tori. Torus Palatinus appears in the middle of the hard palate, or roof of your mouth.
Maxillary Tori (torus maxilla) is another meaning for palatal Tori, and is composed of densely mineralized bones usually devoid of medullary cavity. Maxillary Tori usually found bilaterally on both sides of the plate and are hard, smooth, bony growth.
Palate Tori Vs. Mandibular Tori
Mandibular tori are bony swellings on the lingual surface of the mandible in the canine area. Indeed, mandibular tori can present itself even in the absence of the torus Palatinus, and that the lower tori commonly found bilaterally in the premolar region of the medial aspect of the mandible. Palatal tori are far more common, and one growth is called "Torus Palatinus."
Causes of Palatal Tori
Palatal tori are bony growths on the hard palate that increase in size with age, hereditary. Causes of torus Palatinus are yet to be determined, but some scientists believe it could be due to genetics. Mandibular Tori is an anamoly that occurs in about 10% of the population, and is seen mainly in Asians, Native Americans, and Eskimos. Medical research has also shown that the growths are more common in women than in men. In men's growth, however, the growth slows as one grows older, due to bone resorption.
Symptoms of Torus Maxilar / Palatal Tori
Potential problems with torus maxilla are that it is easier to injure the skin there, and harder to get dentures if necessary. This condition can cause difficulty in eating and drinking, which is the main symptom of the problem. In some cases, Tori Palatinus can combine to form a tumor-like growth, but in other cases, it occurs as a benign growth.
Does Palatal Torus Cause Tooth Staining/Discoloration?
No, stained or discolored teeth are not considered a symptom of maxillary palatal torus, unless the palatal torus has grown so large that it is preventing good oral hygiene. When a palatal torus is large enough, it might prevent you from brushing your teeth, which means that surgery is required to correct the torus.
Palate Tori Removal Procedure
|Tori Removal Surgery - stitches in gums
Torus Palatinus requires surgical removal by maxillofacial surgeon under local or general anesthesia. If you need to remove it, Maxillary Tori reduction surgery reduces the size of the bony growths (exostosis) that make up the palate. Surgical anesthesia is needed for the procedure. Surgical removal of the palatal Tori includes a midpalatal cut and a reflection of the soft tissue. A dental surgeon may induce staining of the palatal torus, for increased visibility during surgery.
Osteogenic periosteum of the palate vault (midpalatal suture) would be extended from time to time, and it will lead to new tensions bone localized in the middle, as the epicenter of the force distribution, and thus removing the torus Palatinus.
Recovery after surgery to reduce maxillary Tori
Most patients do well with the removal of excessive bone growth, and with immediate dentures. Prognosis after surgery is generally excellent, with no known major complications. Possible surgical complications after maxillary Tori reduction can include bleeding, infection, swelling, adverse reactions to anesthesia, and poor healing. The recovery period for the maxillary Tori reduction is usually three to four weeks.
When to see a dentist or orthodontist
People usually do not know they have the Palatal tori growth until the dentist tells them. If this is a new growth, or is fast growing, please make an appointment with a general dentist. You need to see your dentist or doctor if you have something that looks like the growth of any kind, as it could be oral cancer. That should be something that your hygienist or dentist has noticed, and mentioned, if there is a problem. Palatal tori growths are benign, but a firm diagnosis of dental Tori to rule out abnormal growth is needed.
Maxillary Torus In Children
Babies, toddlers and infants can be born with maxillary torus, but most commonly maxillary or palatal tori appears between 6-12 months of age. While maxillary tori are more common in older patients, younger patients (like children and babies) can develop maxillary tori due to rare genetic growth of the upper palate, or in association with cleft palate.
Maxillary Tori in Dogs
Dogs, man's best friend, can also develop maxillary tori, though rarely. Like elderly humans, maxillary torus is more common in older dogs. Palatal tori is seen more commonly in small breeds, like toy breeds of dogs and poodles, rather than large dogs or working breeds. The cause of maxillary tori in dogs in unknown, but could be caused by genetic factors present from birth.

Smothered Rabbit- Cajun Style-
This is a smothered rabbit recipe that works for both domestic and wild rabbit. The only difference between the two is "the wild taste". I do the same basic things here for smothered rabbit as I do for deer roast and duck when it comes to "the wild taste"; triple the celery. Smothered rabbit is served with rice and a nice oven-baked sweet potato.

I have a toothbrush and toothpaste (in it's own tube big enough for I'd say 7 days once a day brush) that weighs .39ounce or 11grams.
I'll play but you might consider it cheating...Take a small twig (evergreen is nice) and chew the end until it gets fuzzy. Brush thoroughly for a piney-fresh feel, then return to nature.Weight: 0 grams-DavidHere's a random picture I found in case you're not sure what I'm talking about:
Out of curiosity, care to share a pic of your setup? What kind of toothbrush is it?-David
I'd like to hear what it is as well-on shorter trips I use a Wisp toothbrush w/ a tiny vial of toothpowder (the stuff that comes w/ the Wisp goes into the garbage- it doesn't work imo)- it's very light, but the Wisp is only good for a couple of days and as the "bristles" break down pretty quickly
The tooth paste Zpacks sells with its setup is 7 grams (weigh declines with use), smallest I've ever seen. The brush is 4.5 grams, 9 grams if you bring the handle extension piece.
I have tried to upload images before to BPL with zero luck. Will take some pics and get back to you hopefully will be able to do so. But in the mean time it is basically a cut down toothbrush modified from a travel pack and the smallest tube of paste I have ever seen. I bought it from the 'travel section' of the chemist (drugstore).ps;I started with those whisps(?) too but found them to be next to useless. One thing is that the toothpaste provided on each one is too small an amount and the handle is too short to effectively reach around in my mouth. Also the head was tiny....too much hard work. The dentist told me that plaque removal is not about how hard you brush but brushing softly for a longer time. Stay tuned pics to come.
Not sure about your toothbrush but I can beat your toothpaste weight. I don't bring toothpaste or toothpowder. I think toothpaste is not much different than deodorant (which I also don't bring) - mostly there for the smell. At least short term where fluoride doesn't matter. I believe brushing twice per day with a water rinse and using a tootpick (ala Victoronix Classic) is plenty good over a week. I could be wrong but nobody has complained yet.I too would like to see your toothbrush. Mine is a childs brush from the dollar store.
Mik,If you are trying to upload your pictures, you may have to use software to resize them to below 4 megs.Or simply reduce the quality of the photos so that they will be able to upload.I have a 10 megapixel pocket camera and I have to resize each shot to get them to upload.When I had a 3.2 megapixel camera, I did not have to resize anything.-Tony
also have to use html format, not the "normal" IMG that most forums use
4.2 grams for the toothbrush head attachment. Connects to the ti stake or fire steel you already carry to create a longer handle.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/xdpy/forum_thread/3668/
NicoI can think of better and easier ways to introduce extra germs into my mouth , but that is a good start...
Paul, Yeah, toothpast is NOT necessary for most hiking.A smallish tooth brush head works fine.
I discussed the toothpaste need with my dentist a few weeks ago. He said "If you brush well, you can go a long time without toothpaste.". To get get some clarification, I added "Well, sometimes I'm out for a few weeks...". He then replied "That's fine. You can go a long, long time with out toothpaste.".
I rarely bring a toothbrush.Im not planning on making out with any of my hiking buddies.I can do without brushing for a couple weeksPeople did it for thousands and thousands of yearsBut when I do, its a cut down one and a tiny ziplock with a bit of baking soda.
People did it for thousands and thousands of yearsyes people with bad teeth ...3500 years ago the Egyptians already used a stick very similar to the one posted above by David with a mixture of rock salt ,mint and pepper as a "toothpaste'Apparently that mix caused gum bleeding but it was a sure sign that there was already then a need for oral hygiene.BTW, here in Australia we have plenty of gum trees, twigs from them make a good eucalyptus oil impregnated toothpick.(eucalyptus oil is antiseptic and a deodoriser)
You dont HAVE to brush your teeth. It is grooming, just like shaving, or brushing hair.Any inference that you will damage your teeth or health by not brushing for a week or two is totally absurd.
It's basically a $2 travel pack toothbrush from the drug store/chemist. I just cut away all the useless bits but am kind of thinking that a cut down child's brush might be about the same weight.I love the feeling of clean teeth going to bed......that's how I roll :).
J. David Lantz,I do the same thing. Another woodsy thing you can do is find a fibrous plant, strip off a fiber, and use that to floss your teeth. Just make sure it's not poisonous.
I have a tooth brush that a hotel gave me when I forgot mine. Full size and weighs 10 grams. It needs to be replaced so I must remember to forget my brush next time I go there.:)
"You dont HAVE to brush your teeth..." True. You just have to brush the ones you want to keep."Any inference that you will damage your teeth or health by not brushing for a week or two is totally absurd."As a dentist, I find that statement absurd, MB. 2-3 days of not brushing will most certainly have an effect on oral health. I'm not trying to smack you down, but I don't want others to think they can get away with what you are suggesting.Changing the topic, here's a photo of a man in Mali using what the Arabs call a miswak to clean his teeth. It's cut from a root of a very fibrous desert bush. They chew on the end for awhile to separate the fibers. It isn't a perfect brush, but it works sort of OK.
Restorative dentistry is very expensive. I have quite a few thousand $$$ invested in my teeth. No way will I go without a brush with handle (travel brush is the lightest and most effective for its weight, I've found) and floss. (The floss can substitute for thread if sewing repairs are needed.) I do use baking soda (with my dentist's blessing), which is lighter and more versatile than toothpaste and doesn't leave white spots on the ground or foliage when I spit it out. No way will I save a few grams with the result of spending a lot of $$$ that I could have spent for something else, like transportation for a backpacking trip or for gear! (With apologies to the dentists here!)

Yeah, skip the toothpaste.
Interesting how some of you forgo some of the basic hygiene and personal grooming whilst out in the wilderness. I guess you can say you'd 'feel' closer to nature this way and if that's your thing then yeehaa to you. I just do not enjoy a trip where I cannot 1.brush my teeth (I hate the furry feeling to start with). 2.Wiping sweaty bits and pits, even just wiping these few parts with a wet towel or wetwipes (which are lighter) enables bits not to stick and stink and so your camp relax and sleep are just that more enjoyable. 3.deodorant, 1 day is not too bad, 2nd and consequent days are just plain wrong without step 2. and a deodorant application. One of the dudes I go hiking with has a how shall I put this....unique body odour, if I smelt like that to someone else I would not feel comfortable sharing the same area as them out of embarasment.That's me and no I am not loosing sleep over whatever grams/ounces this costs me.
I long time ago I MYOG'd this setup, still using it and love it. I now use my Swedish FireSteel Mini as the handle.I've been to the dentist and ain't no one going to convince me to take a finger brush or baby's tootbrush. David's technique with the stick is actually very effective too. In India they use the neem tree twigs which are a natural antiseptic or some anti-x'ish quality.Here's the original post from 2006:SUL Toothbrush -- with REAL Full Size Head
Edited by jhaura on 11/09/2012 17:21:02 MST.
Not bad at all especially if you have multi add-ons. My spoon is a party plastic spoon weighing in at 5.something grams. So my toothbrush + paste + spoon comes to 16.something grams very close to your mark. I was actually going to hack saw bits out of the end of the spoon to make it into a spork, not for the savings in weight but more so for the extra benefit of the semi fork front edge of the spoon.
Toob makes a travel toothbrush. The plastic case is nonsense, throw it out, but the toothbrush heads are made of extremely light cheap plastic, and are NOT connected to the plastic casing. Replacement heads are 2 for $2.95 at EMS and, with practice, are just the right length for serious and thorough brushing.Plus, the reusable toothpaste tube works great, and it lets you steal toothpaste from hostels and nice old ladies along the trail. I love this setup, but I don't know the grams. probably a little more than some because of the toothpaste holder, but I bet my toothbrush weight slaughters some of yours because of how cheap and light the plastic is.Here's a link:http://www.rei.com/product/737990/aurelle-toob-brush
Edited by mdilthey on 11/24/2012 21:24:47 MST.
It's not lighter or the lightest but it works for me.The toothbrush is a ....I stuffed the zip lock of 10 Archtek tabs inside of the self storing handle of the brush along with the brush itself. Total weight of the kit is now 27 grams with a relatively "full size" toothbrush!You'll notice that there is a large chunk of plastic on the rear of the brush section of the G U M unit. It is just begging to be drilled full of holes or somehow cut down to get rid of some of that dead weight.The self storage "case" portion has ventilation holes. More of those could be added or enlarged for more weight savings. Party On,Newton
the toothpaste dot last for about 4 brushings.
John, your toothbrush is almost identical to the one I 'started with' before I got to it with a hack saw and other tools.I like the pallet toothpaste idea!!
If you like using toothpaste, squeeze a bunch into a plastic straw and fold the ends over. One end gets taped permanently shut, the other has an easy to remove rubber band.This works for all kinds of things including seasonings, sunscreen, etc..
I was in Japan in November and every hotel had these toothbrush/toothpaste sets as part of the bathroom amenities. I cut down the handle to 5" and the set is 12g.I fully admit to cleaning out every single hotel I stayed in... :D
Hi folks!Why don't you put 2 pieces of tooth paste for each day of hiking. Then dry them (2-3) days. Then put them into ziploc bag. Add some tooth powder or even wheat flour to keep pieces separated (I don't even add powder). 0) Works great! 1) ziploc is lighter than any tube2) you carry the exact amount of paste you need.Before use, just chew a little the piece of dried paste.
I've experimented with dehydrated toothpaste dots, and I found they don't re-hydrate all that well :-(Perhaps that's the "nature of the beast" (= and just get over it - that they don't rehydrate completely) or perhaps there's a better way of drying them out.In the meantime, I'm still relying on Dr.Bronners
Eco-Dent tooth powder.
I found that toothpaste dots do not re-hydrate very well either, they typically resulted in a mouthful of toothpaste chunks. I ended up deciding to apply the same technique that works for re-hydrating dehydrated meats; smaller pieces. I ended up throwing my toothpaste dots into a coffee bean grinder. The end result was something similar to toothpaste powder but it is malleable enough to pinch into a wad of paste that can easily be placed on the brush head. The best part is that it re-hydrates into more or less normal toothpaste in my mouth almost instantly. I simply carry the appropriate amount in a medicine size zip lock, for a 3-5 day trip the weight doesn't even register on my scale.

TRÜF included among Top USA Design Studios
Onbile has named TRÜF one of the Top 20 Design Studios in the USA. It's an honor to be included among Push, Wolf Ollins, Harlo Interactive and Odopod, some of our favorites too.
The article speaks of the rise of Design in the US coinciding with the rise of the Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and start-ups. It's certainly true. Companies are paying more attention to design on the web lately. We couldn't be more excited about all the great design opportunities out there now, but we feel that American Design has always been strong.

Hi there,
I recently moved from 02 to Virgin and I am trying to set up my mobile, with 02 I had it set up so if you received a picture message you could view it straight away on your mobile but now with Virgin I need to go online(virginmobil.co.uk) to view it.
I have been onto the Virgin media site and had the picture messaging settings for my model of mobile sent to my mobile twice, but both times I received a picture message after and had to go online to view them.
Any help/tips/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
PS: I also following the instructions and put all the info in manually and still just get a message telling me to go online to view the picture)

To get MMS to work correctly you will first need to send yourself a picture message to "activate" the service. Afterwards, you should then be able to receive picture messages as long as you have mobile data (3G) turned on.

but it works, thank you
..the annoying thing is that when i got my bill, Virgin (have the cheek to) charge you the 40p for sending a mms to yourself, just in order to get this working on your phone.

This medium-sized penguin makes its home along the coastlines of South America, on both the Atlantic and Pacific shores. These seabirds, also called Patagonian penguins, breed in Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands, and spend the winter off the coast of Brazil, Uruguay, and Northern Argentina. Like all penguins, Magellanic penguins have tightly packed feathers and fat to keep them insulated from the cold, but these penguins are also adapted to warm temperatures. To cool off during the heat of the South American summer, they shed feathers around their bill. When they get too hot, they can pant like dogs and stand with their flippers extended to catch a breeze. They nest under the shade of bushes or in cool burrows.
Magellanic penguins eat small fish, crustaceans, krill, and squid, and can swim at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour when pursuing prey. These noisy, charismatic sea birds bray like donkeys, and the males' loud calls to attract females can be heard up and down the coast. During breeding season, which lasts from September through February, Magellanic penguins gather in large colonies that can number as many as 400,000 birds. They are the only penguins to breed on the Patagonian mainland. Both the male and female penguins care for their young, taking turns incubating the eggs and feeding their chicks. Penguins can live up to 30 years in the wild.
WCS has been working with local partners in coastal Patagonia since the 1960s, helping to conserve Magellanic penguins and other key wildlife by protecting their breeding sites and managing their populations. We have helped to create coastal protected areas and advance scientific research that help support the health of the Patagonian Sea, one of the most productive bio-regions in the Southern Hemisphere. In the 1980s, the Chubut Coast was littered with dead penguins covered
in petroleum from the dumping of illegal ballast water that contained
petroleum. In 1982, WCS started the Penguin Project at Punta Tombo on the Chubut Coast to study the world's largest colony of Magellanic penguins. Working with our partners, the WCS Penguin Project documented the grave situation, and in 1997, the tanker lanes were moved farther from the coast of Chubut to protect the resident wildlife. In 2008, WCS played an instrumental role in two conservation gains for the Magellanic penguin in Argentina: A ban on commercial fishing at Burdwood Bank and the creation of a marine park at Golfo San Jorge. Both are key habitats for Magellanic penguins and their prey.
For more information, visit www.penguinstudies.org.
The Patagonian Sea's fertile expanse is both a haven for wildlife and a magnet for the fishing industry. WCS has worked to influence conservation policy here since the 1970s. Our Sea and Sky Initiative promotes sustainable management of the region's fisheries and identifies priority areas for conservation.
The life of a young Magellanic penguin has never been easy. Now, a new study shows that the vulnerable chicks face additional threats to their survival from climate change.
WCS applauds Chile's efforts to protect Patagonia's waters from the salmon
industry. But there are many other fish farms in its seas.
Featherless penguin chicks have been popping up on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean in the last few years. WCS researchers and their partners are unraveling the clues to this strange disorder.
The ambitious atlas, compiled from data gathered over a decade, shows how albatrosses, penguins, elephant seals, and other marine animals use a critical region of the South Atlantic Ocean.
In Argentina, WCS has helped create a new marine park to protect the vulnerable rockhopper penguin—a funny-feathered bird known for its "Mohawk," red eyes, and bright yellow spiky eyebrows.
A quarter-century of data reveals how changing weather patterns and land use, combined with overfishing and pollution, are taking a heavy toll on penguin numbers.
With support from WCS, Argentina declares a new coastal marine park to protect half a million penguins, cormorants, oystercatchers, and other rare seabirds.
Argentina bans commercial fishing in Burdwood Bank, a key marine wildlife area in the Patagonian ecosystem that is home to albatross, penguins, whales, and seals, among other species.

Rumford and Parsons make good start in Spain
BY Bruce Young | European Challenge Tour | 2002 European Tour Q-School - Final Stage | Round One | 16 Nov 2002
The final stage of qualifying for the 2003 European Tour is now under way with round one of of six being completed overnight.
The Pals and Emporda courses in the north of Spain are the venues for the one hundred and sixty eight players attempting to secure one of the top thirty five (and ties) cards that will afford them full exemption next season. Both courses will be played twice by each player in the first four rounds following which the field focuses on the Emporda course for the final thirty six holes.
At the Pals course, the lead is held by Scot Barry Hume after an opening 65. Australian Lucas Parsons has started with a 67 to be in fourth place at that venue, with last week's New South Wales Open winner, Terry Price, 13th at three under 69.
Queensland's Adam Crawford a two under 70, New Zealander Stephen Scahill a 71, John Sutherland a 72, Gareth Paddison 73, Marcus Fraser 73 and Scott Gardiner, Daniel Gaunt and Brad Kennedy 74.
At the nearby Emporda course Brett Rumford opened brilliantly wih a 62 to lead by one. Ed Stedman is around 30th, (actual scores unavailable) Steve Bowditch 50th and Elliot Boult towards the last of the eighty five players at that course.
The cut will be made at the completion of seventy two holes to the top seventy five players who will complete the final thirty six holes.

Prevention System Reduces Risky Behavior in 10-14 Year Olds
A community-focused prevention system helps keep middle schoolers from starting to engage in risky behaviors like alcohol and tobacco use, according to a new study.
Prevention research has led to the creation of programs that reduce the risk of substance abuse among youth. Studies find that each dollar invested in research-based prevention programs can bring a savings of up to $10 in treatment for alcohol or other substance abuse. However, getting these programs into communities has been a challenge.
Communities That Care (CTC) is an evidence-based substance-use prevention system. It helps community leaders identify the risk factors for future substance use among their youth and choose evidence-based programs to address those risk factors. To evaluate CTC, a team of researchers at the University of Washington led by Dr. J. David Hawkins studied a group of 4,407 fifth graders from 24 communities in 7 states. The 4-year trial, which began in 2003, was supported primarily by NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Other NIH institutes provided additional funding.
Half the communities were randomly assigned to participate in CTC, with the other half serving as controls. In CTC communities, a coalition of community "stakeholders" was trained to identify factors that affect substance use in their areas. Stakeholders included educators, business and public leaders, health workers, religious leaders, social workers and other community volunteers. The coalitions then chose from 2 to 5 tested and effective prevention programs tailored to their risk factors. The programs focused on a variety of topics, including alcohol and drugs, violence prevention, reducing family conflict, life skills training, HIV/AIDS prevention, dating safety, tobacco use and anger management. The youth were surveyed annually for 4 years about their risky behaviors.
The results appeared in the September 2009 issue of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. By the eighth grade, students in CTC communities were 32% less likely to begin using alcohol, 33% less likely to begin smoking and 33% less likely to begin using smokeless tobacco than those in control communities. They were also 25% less likely to initiate delinquent behavior, a marker for future substance use and an important target for prevention.
"This shows that a coalition of community stakeholders armed with tools solidly grounded in prevention science can prevent middle schoolers from starting to use tobacco, starting to drink and starting to engage in delinquent behavior," Hawkins says. "That's what's really remarkable—that the effects are community-wide."
"What makes Communities That Care unique is that it enables communities to identify their own special issues so they can hand pick the right prevention programs," says NIDA Director Dr. Nora Volkow.
The researchers plan to continue tracking the children through the year following high school to see if the effects of CTC last and whether communities continue to use their chosen prevention programs.
