Kamado Joe Classic Grill Review
Kamado Joe Classic Grill Review By PelletHopper May 15, 2013
Cost: $1000 CAD
Kamado Joe Ceramic Grills Inc. is an American company based in Georgia. Back in 2009 Kamado Joe Ceramic Grills Inc offered the BBQ world a new ceramic kamado type cooker, that I assume was intended to compete head on with the big name equivalents such as Grill Dome and Big Green Egg. There are other notables competing in the same BBQ space too, so Kamado Joe knew what they were up against, and I guess formulated a marketing plan to compete with the big boys. As of this date, they offer 5 different models, the Classic 18 being the topic of my focus. Like any BBQ enthusiast, I have cooked with assorted types of ceramic grills, and am familiar with all the great features that these products can offer. The biggest and greatest feature being a wide temperature range, and at the high end of the range being very hot. Also these temperatures are easily controlled. These types of cookers are also known for having sturdy and long lasting materials, meaning these cookers last a long time. Sometimes, even willed to someone special. The Kamado Joe classic 18 is no different.
The Kamado Joe Classic 18 comes in a red and black model. As the name implies, you get an 18″ diameter cooking surface which gives you 256 sq inches of room. Unlike gas BBQ's, you won't get the much vaunted hot and warm burner zones. People actually complain about that. Cooking on the Kamado Joe is honestly no different than an a Big Green Egg or Primo ceramic etc….. You fire up the lump charcoal, adjust the vents for good airflow, wait until you get the right heat for the job to be done. They handle and feel like any other ceramic cooker, as much as you can "handle" one of these. The "Joe's" components are all made of either cast iron or stainless steel and doesn't feel clumsy. I will review the Kamado Joe Classic 18 grill based on the following metrics.
Kamado Joe Classic 18 grill Review Metrics
Shipping and Packaging
Depending on how you receive your Kamado Joe Classic, it might of already been assembled by dealer so this metric may be of no value. If you receive the unassembled unit, then this applies. The cooker will be shipped in 2 boxes, hopefully packed on a skid. This is heavy stuff, physically and metaphorically. I believe that the Kamado Joe engineering team did the right amount of thinking. They did a great job in packaging the cooker as well as making the assembly quite tolerable. Even the box is made out of a special cardboard, which is thicker and "bump resistant", those are my words, not an industry term. This ceramic grill is well packages. I say great job Kamado Joe. Score: 10 [10]
Ease of assembly and instructions
Like most Kamado style cookers, there isn't much assembly to be done. You have to unpack the 2 boxes, and as I mentioned above, this is heavy stuff. The level of effort is minimal, the instructions were easy. Mostly because all that had to be done was basic. Lifting and tightening. Good job Kamado Joe again. Score: 10 [10]
Design, build and manufacturing quality
The Kamado Joe ceramic grill uses the same design features as all it's brethren. Vent on top, vent on bottom. Oxygen is fed to fuel source at different rates, producing different amounts of heat units. I'm sure there is a BTU number in there somewhere for this grill, it would vary with the amount of charcoal I guess. The design is tried and trued, and Kamado Joe just leverages the technology, the simple technology and puts it's finesse on it. The finesse comes in the form of quality components. Either stainless steel, or powder coated cast and galvanized iron. They also use stained bamboo wood. Nothing sticks out as being "Made in Pearl Valley China" here. Having said that, the reality is they are made in Yixing China. Regardless of where they are made, there is a quality side to this product. The manufacturing of the components and the ceramic grill look top notch. The Joe has an excellent gasket which looked like it would last a long time. I would even go so far as to say that the gasket looked better than it's closest competitions gasket. The ceramic glaze on the shell looks tough and will likely be looking great in 10 years. The stainless steel cooking grate has a hinged flap / door. This is a great feature, it lets you easily add wood chips or more charcoal. An easy access portal! The vents which move a lot of hot air, are understandably built of out cast iron, which is another positive. The stand, albeit suitable, has small wheels, and seems a tad flimsy for something that weighs 188+ lbs. I like that it is movable, but to me, the stand is not %100 there. I would suggest firming up the legs and shipping them with bulkier sturdier looking caster wheels. The side tables I found a bit weak too. One of them came off the grill when I raised it. So care must be taken when being raised. By contrast to the BGE, the Kamado Joe does come in multiple colours. You can buy a "Joe" in Black or Red, giving the consumer some options to match the deck furniture Overall, I'd say good job Kamado Joe, this is a top notch Kamado grill. Score: 8 [10]
Kamado Joe Classic ease of use
All Kamado style cookers are simple to use. Pour in your charcoal, light it, and setup your vents for optimum airflow. The Kamado Joe is no different. It lights quickly and reaches high temperatures very quickly. Kamado Joe claims that they "feature a unique, dual-disc top vent". The top disc is used for lower temperature cooking and the bottom disc is used for grilling. Any cooking which requires higher heat. This does give you very good temperature control. It takes a bit of fidgeting around, it's not like you have a thermostat that you set. But it's easy enough to figure out. The thermometer which is quite large, is accurate. I compared it to my trusted oven thermometer. Not sure why anyone would burn briquettes, but if you do, you will have to clean out the ashes more often than you would with lump charcoal. Cleaning the Kamado Joe Classic is no different than any other kamado style cooker, except that with a Joe you get an "ash tool" which is helpful. As well as any unburned lump charcoal can be reused if not completely burned. This is because shutting down the Kamado is so effective that all burning fuel is chocked off very effectively and the burn process halts. As I mentioned earlier, I really like the hinged door on the grill which simplifies some BBQ'ing tasks. You can add more charcoal, wood chips. The Kamdo Joe offers a very unique heat deflector or flame diffuser, this lets you cook your food over an indirect heat source. The standard deflector gives you the option of raising and lowering the deflector. If you go all out and get the "BigJoe Heat Deflector" you are off into a whole different world of Kamado cooking. The BigJoe lets you not only change the height of your deflector, but remove one of the split halves so you can grill over on half and cook on an indirect heat source on the other. This split deflector is akin to what you get with the Primo Oval product, very cool Kamado Joe Inc. You can't cook a whole hog or suckling pig, but you can do a darn nice burger and ribs, pizza, small hip of beef if you get the big Joe. Kamado Joe Classic, it is easy to use, temperature control is excellent. Score: 9 [10]
Reliability and durability
Aside from swinging on it with an ax, the only thing that can break on this unit are the wheels. There is a chance that the glazing on the ceramic shell might fade or chip. The cast iron components are solid. Cast or galvanized iron rarely cracks, nor does stainless steel. This is a solid unit, but I have to factor the wheels in to this score. I can see someone who is never happy with where they place there Kamado Joe on the deck, and are constantly moving it. I haven't used the Joe enough to say this for sure, but I don't think the wheels are meant for a lot of moving about. But from what I hear, the company stands behind it's product and supports it's clients very well. Score: 8 [10]
Smoke quality
Comparing smoke from lump charcoal to real wood is a time old debate. Pellet heads vs. lump heads. But 9 times out of 10, when you want good smoke from a Kamado style cooker, you have to add wood chips / pellets. The Kamado Joe Classic grill provides the right temperature to produce smoke, using good quality wood chips or pellets. The Kamado Joe Classic is able to keep the temperatures down to 200 F and below. That is definitely not a cold smoke, and on the edge of not being a warm smoke, which I would place in the 165 F range. If you leave the lid open a crack, you can get a cooler temperature, but bypasses the venting system and you loose your temperature control. The Kamado when stocked with wood chips produces a nice smoke at 200 F. As compared to a wood based BBQ of some sort, wood pellets would not have to be replaced every hour or so. I have left mine on for days for cold smoke runs. With the Joe, you would have to add more wood every hour or two. Nothing terribly wrong with that. The smoke from the Joe is not the same smoke you would get from a real wood smoker. It's a combination lump charcoal and real wood smoke. The imparted flavor is different, but pleasant good quality smoke. Score: 8 [10]
The Kamado Joe Classic ROCK's when it comes to grilling and searing. Leave the lid closed, adjust your lower vent and watch the heat rise. With good charcoal, you can get your Kamado Joe Classic up to 750 F and in many cases hotter. Then place your carefully marinated T-Bones right in the middle. The Kamado Joe does very well here. Score: 10 [10]
Low and slow
Because of the excellent temperature control, you can setup your vents just right and walk away. You can get down to the low 200 F range, or if your careful close 10 150 F and leave it there for many hours. You can add some wood chips to the mixture and get a low and slow with smoke. The Kamado Joe Classic does very well here too, adding another feather in it's cap for this cookers versatility. The Kamado Joe Classic handles this test well. Score: 9 [10]
Food cooking and taste
This is truly where it all comes down to. If your BBQ looks like hell, all rusted and resting on a slant, would your guests care if it was the finest chicken and ribs they have ever tasted? What if you could have good looking and great tasting all in one? The Kamado Joe when used with top quality wood lump charcoal imparts a great charcoal taste to whatever is cooked. The higher the heat, the shorter the cooking time the less flavor. So the foods that are low and slow have more BBQ flavor than say a grilled mango which is grilled for 2 minutes. The taste is great, and might tip the really great scale if wood is added. But that doesn't count for this test. Kamado Joe Classics food taste pretty darn good. Score: 8 [10]
Price and Value
The Kamado Joe Classic chimes in at $1000, which is a number that turns people away from the soon to be "cult of the BGE". The BGE (Big Green Egg) offers a) cult status, b) great product c) warranty. All of this comes at a price. The Kamado Joe Classic comes with quality and a great price. The warranty is nothing to snuff at either. Starting with the lifetime warranty on ceramic parts. All the metal parts are good for 5 years. The thermometer and gaskets are good for one year. I think bang for buck, this is a very good value. You will find cheaper kamado style ceramic cookers. They are there to be had. The Joe is a BGE without the cult, and an even better name. If you ask me. I deem this Kamado style cooker as the best value out on the market today. Score: 10 [10]
The Kamado Joe Classic – The Final Word
When you shop for a BBQ, something to put on your patio, you try to satisfy a couple of requirements. It has to look acceptable. You don't want a MIR space station lookalike, you don't want something that looks like a particle accelerator either. You want something that looks nice, produces great food and is safe. The Kamado joe isn't ugly, it's a ceramic red or black egg. It produces wonderful food and is as safe as any other cooker in it's category. Value price wise, I think it is the leader of the pack. It has scored a valiant %91, which ranks this unit at the top. There are massive GBE vs. KJ (Kamado Joe) debates on BBQ forums. I love these. At the end of the day, you pay for what you want. Grill Dome makes a fantastic product and has been around for a longtime. Yahoo was there before Google came along. And Google is now the most used search engine on the planet. KJ is heading that way, and I know why.

Now that you're married and the wedding is behind you, it's time to do the dreadful task of changing your name (if you decide to of course).
I did some research on what it takes to change your name and it seems like there are a lot of steps - especially if you have a ton of store cards and online accounts! If you just take baby steps, it'll seem a little easier.
STEP 1: Decide what you want to change your name to. Are you taking his last name or hyphenating? Are you changing your middle name to include your maiden last name or switch it completely?
STEP 2: Make sure you have your original (or certified) marriage license in hand - the one with the gold seal on it (no photo copies).
STEP 3: Head to your local Social Security office to change your name on your Social Security card with marriage license in hand. Fill out an application for a new Social Security card here: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber/ and then either mail it in or take it to a Social Security office near you. You should receive your new card in the mail in about 10 business days.
TIP: Make sure you check the business hours - most locations are open only Monday through Friday with limited hours.
STEP 4: Once you have your new Social Security card, then you can head to the Secretary of State to get a new drivers licence. Make sure you bring your old licence, marriage certificate and your new Social Security card.
STEP 5: Change your name at your bank. Head to your local branch to request our name change as well as order new checks and debit cards. Make sure you bring in your new drivers license and your marriage certificate.
TIP: Ask about any fees you may incur when ordering new debit cards.
STEP 6: Once you've done the initial steps to changing your name, the rest will come in time. Here's a list of other places you may need to change your name at.
- Employer (payroll, benefits, tax withholdings, 401k, email address, business cards)
- Post office
- Electric and other utility companies
- Credit card companies (it may take a few months for your new name to reflect on your current credit history)
- Schools and alumni associations
- Landlord or mortgage company
- Insurance companies (auto, home, life)
- Doctors' offices (just change our name at your next appointment)
- Voter registration
- Passport
- Other miscellaneous items like magazine subscriptions, health club membership, alumni associations, online accounts, etc. can be changed when you have time or come around to them.
TIP: If you don't feel like changing your name on every store card you have, just keep your old drivers licence (or another piece of identification) on hand in case they ask you to verify your information.

"Graduation Day" - Part 1
Writer: Landry Q. Walker
Penciller: Eric Jones
Inker: Eric Jones
Cover: Eric Jones
Reviewed by: Adam Dechanel
When she arrives in the dorm a disinterested Lena awaits her but before they can celebrate their last day, Supergirl arrives! No really! A time vortex opens and Supergirl grabs Linda pulling her out the window. Lena has a flash of realization and the memory wipe wears off. Lena remembers everything and immediately contacts her brother Lex Luthor!
Meanwhile Principal Picklemeyer is counseling a forlorn Belinda Zee. Picklemeyer gives Belinda a medal to lift her spirits, a glowing blue medallion with #1 inscribed upon in.
Elsewhere, Supergirl from the future introduces herself as Supragirl and her super powered horse Comet. Supragirl explains that when the asteroid hit it set a chain reaction in motion that led her to train in the 30th Century with the Legion of Superheroes.
As a consequence of the two Supergirls being in the same place the Supergirl from modern time has suddenly had her powers cancel out due to a time paradox. Luckily Supragirl had a flight ring handy so they go to investigate the nearby emergency.
In deep space Streaky realizes the multiverse is at stake. If he doesn't return and intervene everything may be torn apart! While back on Earth Belinda is using her new powers from the medallion to turn all the students into bizarro zombies!
Belinda has her self confidence knocked again when she realizes there is yet another Supergirl and one with a horse to boot! So she whips up a bizarro costume and becomes... Superior girl!
Supragirl is incapacitated by the bizarre students and just as Superior girl is about to kill her rival, Streaky leaps in front of Belinda's warp vision and becomes a saber tooth tiger!
Lena watching from the dorms initiates a plan of her own and activates a mind control device which enslaves the remaining students. Supragirl manages to throw off her opponents in time to see Belinda fleeing with Kara and Streaky giving chase. Supragirl spot that Kara had dropped her communicator and realizes it is somehow significant... leaping onto Comet she gives chase.
Picklemeyer and the faculty begin to laugh and glow with fantastic energy.... Something very wrong is happening.
Supragirl returns the communicator to Kara asking her to destroy it before Belinda can snag it herself. Belinda overhears this and does exactly that with the quasi-metal device.
Lena crashes the party and reveals she is Lena Luthor, and intends to destroy them all! Belinda activates the communicator and is devastated that Alura doesn't recognize her.
Lex Luthor appears and smirks that their 'friend' Lena rescued him and helped capture their cousin Superman in chains of Kryptonite!
Supragirl, immune to kryptonite attempts to free the Man of Steel while Supergirl tries to reach out to Lena's inner goodness.
A weakened Superman asks Supragirl where she got a quasi-metal communicator from and she suspiciously points out he left it for her as a gift...
Clark is just as puzzled and the two are so busy they don't see Lex in his hover ship closing in on them.
Belinda suddenly begins to scream and the communicator electrifies her with incredible energy.
In the faculty room the staff are now fully transformed and are not really human at all... they are Mxy and friends from the Fifth dimension!
Needless to say... To Be Continued!
Story - 2: Sadly the worst of the series.
Sorry if the review seems all over the place but if that's the case you can guess what the book was like!
Meanwhile, elsewhere were almost on every page.
The constraints of writing for trade are so evident here it's sadly forcing a book with a great natural flow to force itself into a climax. All the slow and fantastically paced storytelling, all the hints, the nods to history, the humor, it's all been crushed into a two part finale. Just like when a TV series is forced into cancellation before it could tie up loose ends. Everything from start to finish seems rushed.
We're supposed to believe 8th grade is over in 6 issues, Lena realized the truth and then had her mind wiped just last issue only for it to be undone in the next... Streaky was introduced, left for deep space and then did a u-turn to return this issue.
All too fast and a bit sloppy. This is NOT Landry Q. Walker's fault but the PTB that forced it into a meagre 6 issues.
A note to the editor. If a book needs you to step in to explain what the heck is going on then something has gone badly wrong.
Art - 5: The art hasn't suffered compared to the story and it copes very well with the sudden change in pace.
Cover Art - 5: Belinda Zee gets centre stage and rightly so, she's been very entertaining, and her new guise as Superior Girl deserves the front cover. Nice homage!

SOA lessons learned from business process automation
By rtenhove on Aug 02, 2007
It was (and continues to be the case, in many places) that business process logic is "hard coded" into applications. One sees this in very modern EJB and Servlet applications (to cite two common examples), but has been the case for many years, and in many languages and implementation technologies.
Examples abounded (and continue to abound) in many IT shops. For example
if (CreditChecker.isCreditOkay(order.getCustomer(), order.getAmount()) { if (Operations.checkInventory(order.getManifest() != OKAY) { throw new OrderCannotBeManufacturedException(order, "missing_parts"); } if (Operations.scheduleForManufacturing( order.getPromisedDate(), order.getCustomer().getId(), order.getManifest(), order.getShipAddress(), order.getShipMethod()) != OKAY) { throw new OrderCannotBeManufacturedException(order, "cannot_schedule"); } } else { throw new OrderDeniedException(order, "bad_credit"); }shows how the code contains the logic for a fragment of a business process that presumably does a portion of an order fulfillment process. It does a credit check, an inventory check, and then attempts to schedule production of the order, all with suitable fault creation should any of those steps fail.
The weakness in this approach is two-fold. Firstly, the overall logic of the business process is very hard to determine. (What happens in the scheduleForManufacturing() step, for instance? It obviously (eventually) does something to arrange shipping -- but that is in some other code!). The process is implicit in the code, intermixed with a lot of other code (in more realistic examples). Secondly, composition of new processes is difficult, due to the mixing of process logic with other (implementation) logic. No I add a new process by adding some sort of variables to affect the logic?
if (!isInternalFulfillmentProcess) { if (CreditChecker.isCreditOkay(order.getCustomer(), order.getAmount()) { ... } } ...to add support for an order fulfillment process, where credit checking is unnecessary.
What the business process automation industry taught us was to separate the business process logic from the implementation logic. A business process in composed of various activities (business functions). These functions are realized by automated agents (programs), or by people (I'll save BPEL4People for another blog entry!). A separate business process definition serves to hold the logic connecting these various activities. A process engine serves to execute the process definition logic at run-time, orchestrating the business functions appropriately.
This isn't just an exercise in refactoring. What this enables (and is the key insight of business process automation) is the composition of new process definitions, based on the activities used by others. In fact, the business functions embodied by such activities are now free of the context in which they are executed: they cannot assume anything about why they invoked. They certainly cannot contain logic about what steps in the process are executed "next"; that is now part of the process definition, not the activity code.
If you look at WS-BPEL, you see these concepts (minus the human activity part) embodied in a language that is based on web services. Orchestration (execution of the business process logic) is defined by something that is completely separate from the implementation of the activity logic: a separation of concerns, exactly as realized in business process automation.
This separation of concerns continues to help us as we continue to explore SOA systems based on ubiquitous messaging protocols, which eliminate many technical coupling impediments to interoperation. In particular, services (like process activities before them) are the essential units of reuse in a business process. Thus we come full circle to my previous entry, "What is a service?"

Making Dallas Even Better
Now that the temperature has dropped five degrees, this young man wants a to eat on a patio in Dallas. I'm bored, y'all take it.
UPDATE: Kyle Kearbey has a list.
Have to say The Mansion. There's a nice shaded patio, you're not right on the street with cars whizzing by, and there's a $49 prix fixe dinner. I also like Sevy's patio which is covered.
PS – I'm bored too.
One Arts Plaza- 4 different patio options
Patios are for D-bags.
The new Park restaurant on Henderson. Was there last night. Amazing patio.
the hot dog cart outside Home Depot on Skillman is awesome…and cheap!
Try Yelp. I'm over these posts. Tell me something interesting.
And Park again. Was there last night, and as it soon as it cools down that will be THE patio.
I love The Mansion patio too. Also check out Taverna and Cafe Toulouse in Knox-Henderson and Cibus at Northpark whose patio looks out over centerpark with all those amazing sculptures from the collection of Ray Nasher
Patio dining in Dallas during the summer? You're joking, right?
The Grape…
Gee Glenn, that's a roundabout way of saying you are an expert in patios, isn't it?
State & Allen Lounge is a nice one, so is the one in back of Thomas Ave Beverage Company (TABC). Idle Rich and Blackfriar's are fun, but the other day I stumbled upon a rooftop patio about half a block up McKinney Ave. at Liar's Den. It has something like 2 or 3 big TV's up there, a nice view of downtown, and great bar food. I don't know how long it has been up there, but I wish I had known a lot sooner.
State & Allen. Great people watching, dog friendly, and excellent food. Try their frosty Cazadore Meltdowns with some buffalo chicken strips — icy and spicy!

Reviews for Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars
"I have made this 3 times now and everyone just loves it. It's different than the some old desserts."
"Made these for a Thanksgiving potluck and everyone RAVED!! I had to make copies of the recipe to hand out because everyone loved them so much. This will be my new go-to potluck dessert recipe. Excellent."
"It was a split decision in our family! My husband didn't like the "peanut butter fighting the marshmallow". He would have liked one or the other. But the kids loved it! I would have liked a little more cocoa in the batter. We didn't have Rice Krispies so we used Special K which worked wonderfully. We all did like the crunch! I found that if I was careful in my initial placement of the marshmallows, I didn't have to attempt to spread them. This was one less thing to worry about!"
"Very good"
"It's been a while since I've made these and I don't know why! They're great for taking to a potluck event. Everyone loves them."

Every preacher worth his salt knows that a pastor is not the Messiah. Every politician worthy of office knows that human leaders are not the Messiah. Every teacher worthy of the title knows that teachers are not the Messiah. Every member of every Christian church needs to know to the depths of their being that we are not the Messiah. Why then do so many have a Messiah complex, delusions of grandeur, an inflated sense of self-importance? Why do so many preachers, politicians and teachers burden themselves with the delusion that they must "save the world"? Like John the Baptist we point to another who is the Messiah. Like a light on a hill we don't illuminate ourselves but God. We are all appointed missionaries, sent by God to tell the story of Jesus and his love (John 1:29-42).
In Orthodox iconography John the Baptist is often pictured as pointing to a lamb, echoing his words from John 1:29-42 where he declared, "Look! The Lamb of God!" Iconography is an ancient form of visual art designed to portray the most important aspects of a subject's life. In John's case, one of the most important features of his life was to point to Jesus. John's example is important for us today. We can be easily distracted by human politics, traditions and material desires. It can benefit us to look at the example of a man who lived an uncluttered life, with one simple goal, to point to Jesus. What if our lives were more oriented towards Christ? What if our churches focused more on what he taught? Is it not the mission of every Christian to point to Jesus?
The world is full of gurus promising salvation from various complaints ― like poverty, headaches, big government and old vacuum cleaners. Much of the time, those promises are empty. There is one expert who doesn't make false claims. He actually can provide salvation from something that science cannot, death. His reputation has been sullied in the press and his followers are sometimes obnoxious and self-righteous. However, he does make some interesting and challenging claims. He claims to be the Son of God, God with us. He claims to have taken away the sins of the world. He claims to have the answers. In John 1:29-42 he made a challenge to a couple of men, who were curious. "Come, and you will see." There is a deeper hint that if we begin to follow Jesus, we will eventually truly see.
We are not the Messiah, but we can point people to the One who is.

Patriot CEO: Givebacks or Liquidation
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on April 04, 2013 @ 6:25PM
Created on April 04, 2013 @ 1:32PM
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The president and CEO of Patriot Coal says without union concessions from current and retired miners, the company will be forced into liquidation.
Bennett Hatfield made the assertion in a commentary published Thursday in the Charleston Daily Mail . He wrote that the company's liquidation would result in the loss of thousands of jobs and have a devastating impact on workers, their families, retirees and their communities.
Patriot filed for bankruptcy in July 2012. The St. Louis-based company has said its retiree health liability has ballooned to $1.6 billion. It's seeking to modify its collective bargaining agreement and create a trust fund for those costs.
The United Mine Workers of America has fiercely opposed the proposal.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
HUS is a rare condition that can lead to kidney failure in children. Kidney failure develops as a result of destruction of the small, functional structures and vessels inside the kidney. HUS is a serious illness and potentially fatal.
HUS is more common during the summer months and may occur in outbreaks. Outbreaks have been reported in daycare centers, water parks, and fast food restaurants as a result of inadequately cooked hamburger meat. HUS is most common in younger children between 6 months and 4 years, but can occur at any age.
HUS has several known causes and some unknown causes. Typically in children, HUS develops after an infection with the E. coli bacterium. E. coli may be found in contaminated food such as dairy products and meat. HUS can also develop as a result of taking certain medications or may result from a cancer present in the body, although these causes are less common. Some rare cases of HUS are familial, which suggests a genetic predisposition.
The following are the most common symptoms of HUS. However, each child may experience symptoms differently.
The initial symptoms of HUS frequently last from one to 15 days and may include symptoms in the digestive tract such as the following:
Severe problems in the bowel and colon may develop in some cases. In these cases, even if the digestive symptoms are no longer present, a child may still exhibit the following symptoms:
The child may produce little urine because damaged red blood cells and other factors may clog the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, or cause lesions in the kidneys, making them work harder to remove wastes and extra fluid.
The body's inability to rid itself of excess fluid and waste may, in turn, cause the following symptoms:
The symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hemolytic may include:
Specific treatment for HUS will be determined by your child's physician based on:
There is no known treatment that can stop the progression of the syndrome once it has started. Initially, treatment may be supportive, which means that there is no cure for the specific disease, so it is necessary to treat the symptoms. If your child shows signs of dehydration and electrolyte irregularities, these conditions will be treated first. Other therapies may include:
Completely cooking all foods that may contain hamburger meat can prevent HUS that is caused by E. coli. Other possible sources of E. coli include unpasteurized juices or milk.
If your child has HUS, it is important to notify your daycare center or your child's other close contacts (i.e., play groups, school). HUS is not contagious, but spread of the E. coli bacterium is contagious. About 2 percent to 7 percent of children with an E. coli infection are likely to develop HUS.

Syracuse 2, Colgate 0
HAMILTON, N.Y.— Jenesica Drinkwater and the Syracuse defense earned their first shutout of the season, defeating the Colgate ice hockey team 2-0 on Tuesday night at Starr Rink. Drinkwater made 24 stops in net to help the Orange improve to an 11-9-2 record on the season and earn the fifth shutout of her career.
"We want to build some momentum into Friday night's game against a team that we just played [RIT] and know how they're going to play," head coach Paul Flanagan said. "To play against a feisty team tonight was good for us. They came at us in the third period, they had all three forwards going on the puck and our defense had to be resourceful and resilient and I thought they did a good job. Jenesica Drinkwater was there when she had to make big saves. The overall team defense was there when we needed it and it was an overall good team win from us."
Colgate controlled more faceoffs than Syracuse (29-26) but the Orange capitalized on its possession time, getting 33 shots on net. Each team had five man-up chances but only SU would cash in on them, scoring the eventual game-winner on the power play.
"After stumbling last week on the penalty kill it's gratifying
tonight for the girls to have done a good job," Flanagan said. "We
did some little things that don't necessarily show up on the score
sheet. We had some great blocked shots and good reads."
Nicole Renault's assist on the lead-extender continued her point streak, now at four games, and Melissa Piacentini's goal increased her point streak to three games. Laurence Porlier's assist on the second goal of the game was her first collegiate point and Eleanor Haine's goal was the first of her career.
Neither team was able to get on the board throughout the first period. Drinkwater and the SU defense were able to protect the net, stopping a combined 13 shots, 5 blocked and 8 saved, including four while Colgate was on the power play.
The Orange had a two-man advantage near the beginning of the second stanza but could not convert due to excellent work between the pipes by Rando. SU had a flurry of shots on net in the 52 second five-on-three situation but the Colgate goalie stopped each of them and a high-stick call sent the faceoff to the opposite end of the ice, negating Syracuse's offensive efforts.
Melissa Piacentini put the Orange on the board when she scored on the power play, taking a shot from the left side that hit the goalie's pad, hopped over her back and went into the net, concluding a slew of SU shots on goal including one byNicole Renault that hit the pipe and just barely missed slipping down Rando's back for a score.
Exactly two minutes later Syracuse scored again when Sadie St. Germain started things off with a shot from the point that was saved by Rando and rebounded by Laurence Porlier, who was again stopped by the Colgate net minder. The third time was the charm and Eleanor Haines sent her first collegiate goal top shelf to give SU a 2-0 lead with 9:08 to go in the second period.
The Raiders kept the pressure on in the third period but Drinkwater stopped all 13 shots she faced and the SU defense blocked five. Colgate pulled Rando out of the goal for the final 3:13 of the game but the extra skater wasn't enough to get a puck past Drinkwater.
The Orange heads back to Tennity Ice Pavilion on Friday to face CHA foe Rochester Institute of Technology at 7 p.m. in its first of six straight home games.

Disease Proof
Secondhand Smoke Really Bad for Kids
Secondhand smoke is no joke, especially for kids. A new study claims even minor exposure can compromise a child's cardiovascular system. Robert Preidt of HealthDay News reports:
Even minor exposure to secondhand smoke can harm the cardiovascular system of children, a new study concludes.
Finnish researchers used high-resolution ultrasound to check brachial artery (located in the arm) function of 402 children, age 11, who were divided into three groups based on their blood levels of cotinine, a biomarker for nicotine.
The three groups included: 229 children with no detectable levels of cotinine; 134 children with low blood levels of cotinine (between 0.2 and 1.6 nanograms per milliliter); and 39 with high blood levels of cotinine (more than 1.7 ng/mL).
The study found that children with the highest cotinine levels had significantly reduced brachial artery endothelial function -- a measure of arterial health. Endothelial dysfunction impairs blood vessels' ability to dilate.

Devil was getting pissed because of the misuse of apostrophes. So, to educate you on grammar even though mine isn't perfect (it could be but i'm way too lazy) here are the only cases an apostrophe is used. These aren't text book definitions, they're just ones in my own words.
1) To take the place of letters in a word, or to combine a word with a common word to make it faster to say. For example: would've is would have, but the apostrophe combines the 2 words and takes off the first half of the word have.
2) The second, and the one most people forget is this one and there is much confusion to it. In this example, an apostrophe shows possession. Example: A man's coat. Example: Someone's car.
This in no way means that everyone should use an apostrophe perfectly, because next to no one is perfect on grammar all the time. Also i usually just say that if people can understand what you're saying without the proper grammar then your mission is accomplished. Some would argue back that it shows a lack of intelligence to do so, but that's something else entirely.

I thought the first matches were great, all out wars. Tough guys, getting beat up and trying hard.
Miller waged war, but it was a tough call for me.
Fitch controlled the fight and made Saunders bleed. Good fight for grapplers to watch.

World number one Novak Djokovic did not let friendship prevent him from carrying on where he left off last month when he made a successful defence of his Australian Open title at the Dubai Open on Tuesday.
Djokovic's attempt to win back the Dubai Open title began with a 6-1 6-4 win over Viktor Troicki, the fellow Davis Cup player with whom he grew up and shared tennis courts many times in the city of Belgrade.
The top-seeded Serbian moved so swiftly and turned defence into attack so suddenly that it was hard to believe four weeks had passed since he last played singles on the ATP tour.
Earlier, Australian Bernard Tomic retired with a "general illness" trailing Romania's Victor Hanescu 3-2.
And Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro nearly did not survive beyond the first round.
Del Potro had to save four match points to beat Marcos Baghdatis, the former Australian Open finalist from Cyprus, by 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-4).
Nikolay Davydenko, who hopes to return to the top 20 this year as part of his farewell to the tour, reached the second round, the former world number three from Russia beating Janko Tipsarevic, the sixth-seeded Serbian, 6-0 7-5.
But Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the fifth-seeded Frenchman, was beaten by his Davis Cup teammate Michael Llodra 7-6 (7-3) 6-2.
Tsonga was back on court less than 48 hours after winning in Marseille with depleted energy and, as the match wore on, declining motivation too.

Value of Entertainment 1st go around... actually pretty high despite its poor quality (just because it's a story and grasps my attention)
but when i signed in to write the review I couldn't bear to watch it again cause its almost like one of those movie you watch once then never touch again. I even paused it but the music kept playing so I was all -____-
anyways... 1 Star for making the animation (just cause trying in this world deserves a cookie)
and 2 Stars for the story... I just enjoy stories and since this actually happened to a lot of people I threw in a 2nd star.
This is about a nice of a review I can give without being rash, harsh, or being a down right douche.
thats okay

text: Working with children and their families is a humbling experience. Children have a very forgiving nature; they will be sad one minute from something you have had to put them through, and the next minute they are giving you a high-five. Adults could learn a lot from children, like how to be courageous in the face of adversity, how to laugh no matter how scared you are, how to have hope when it is running low, and how to wake up each day and just be happy.

Multi Sheet Excel Output
By Tim Dexter-Oracle on Oct 02, 2014
Im on a roll with posts. This blog can be rebuilt ...
I received a question today from Camilo in Colombia asking
how to achieve the following.
'What are my options to deliver excel files with multiple sheets? I know we can split 1 report in multiple sheets in with the BIP Advanced Options, but what if I want to have 1 report / sheet? Where each report in each sheet has a independent data model ….'
Well, its not going to be easy if you have to have completely separate data models for each sheet. That would require generating multiple Excel outputs and then merging them, somehow.
However, if you can live with a single data model with multiple data sets i.e. queries that connect to separate data sources. Something like this:
Then we can help. Each query is returning its own data set but they will all be presented together in a single data set that BIP can then render. Our data structure in the XML output would be:
Three distinct data sets within the same data output.
To get each to sit on a separate sheet within the Excel output is pretty simple. It depends on how much native Excel functionality you want.
Using an RTF template you just create the layouts for each
data set on a page(s) separated by a page break (Ctrl-Enter.) At runtime, BIP
will place each output onto a separate sheet in the workbook. If you want to
name each sheet you can use the
<?spreadsheet-sheet-name: xpath-expression?> command. More info here. That's as
sophisticated as it gets with the RTF templates. No calcs, no formulas, etc.
Just put the output on a sheet, bam!
Using an Excel template you can get more sophisticated with
the layout.
This time thou, you create the layout for each data model on separate sheets. In my example, sheet 1 holds the department data, sheet 2, the employee data and so on. Some conditional formatting has snuck in there.
I have zipped up the sample files here.

Reviews for Meat Loaf Wellington
"Meatloaf didn't hold form well, I will add another egg next time, and also was a bit bland"
"I wanted to spoof up my regular meatloaf and this recipe gave me the inspiration. I make my own meatloaf recipe since my family prefers the taste of more herbs and spices but the addition of the crescent rolls on top adds that extra touch."
"Wonderful! Since I have become Gluten intolerant, I use GF Bisquick and make my own blanket instead of the crescent rolls and GF bread cubes! Cannot tell the difference! So easy to prepare and yet so elegant!"
"I first found this recipe in a Taste of Home cookbook that I had bought years ago. My entire family loves this recipe. (Husband and six children.) My children are older now and five are still at home and they still all love this meatloaf! We will be having this for dinner tonight but I am using venison in place of ground beef."
"this was a wonderful recipe and a great way to dress up a regular meal! My family loved it!"

Experts Name the Top 19 Solutions to the Global Freshwater Crisis
Circle of Blue Water News
Virtually every industry in the world anticipates sweeping systemic transformation over the next decade in their strategic planning, production practices, and business models, according to the Sustainability Survey Poll on Water. The global opinion poll, which released a survey of more than 1,200 sustainability experts in March, concludes that water shortages will shift public perception of the value of water, prompting governments and companies to view clean water not as a commodity to exploit but as a precious resource.
Conducted by GlobeScan, an international public and stakeholder opinion research firm, and SustainAbility, a think tank and business strategy consultancy, the poll asked, "What are the technologies or changes in behavior which show the most promise for addressing water shortages over the next 10 years?" THE experts' responses generated 19 consensus solutions.
Jeff Erikson, senior vice president at SustainAbility, told Circle of Blue that the decisions executives make to respond to freshwater scarcity will penetrate almost every aspect of their business operations. The varied solutions revealed the complexity of coping with water scarcity. Population growth, urban development, farm production and climate change are increasing competition for fresh water and producing shortages. Here's a look at the first five areas where experts feel needed solutions will come.

There was nary an empty seat in the 5,700 seat pavilion and fans were cheek to cheek on the lawn area hill above which purportedly holds 13,500 (final figures show that nearly 12,000 were in attendance making it one of the most popular if not THE most popular concert of the season). What show would bring this many people out to Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls on a Sunday evening? The Cleveland Orchestra with "Classical Mystery Tour" performing "The Beatles: A Tribute", that's what. This was not merely a show; it was a happening, a love fest, a sing along and a trip down Penny Lane.
Classical Mystery Tour is made up of four young men from around the country who look and sound like the original fab four. They are Jim Owen (rhythm guitar, piano, vocals – John), Tony Kishman (bass guitar, piano, vocals – Paul), David John (lead guitar, vocals – George) and Chris Camilleri (drums, vocals – Ringo). They dress in the same stage costumes as well as play the same instruments as the original group.
What is remarkable with this show is the fact that with a full orchestra behind them (and a little special effect sound magic) the group was able to recreate the Beatles sound just like it was first recorded on the records. It was uncanny how the orchestra and group combined was note for note perfect on every single song (over 20 during the regular concert with three rousing encores).
The concert began with the Orchestra performing an up tempo version of "Eleanor Rigby" (as arranged for orchestra). While adhering to the high standards that we have come to expect I found it sounded too much like a James Bond theme. Classical Mystery Tour then took the stage and in no particular order (and pardon any omissions) they performed: "Magical Mystery Tour", "Got To Get You Into My Life", "I Am The Walrus", "Hello, Goodbye", "Yellow Submarine", "Here Comes The Sun". "Penny Lane", "Something", "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Come Together" and "Sergeant Pepper's Lone Hearts Club Band" (plus the reprise).
After a short intermission the Orchestra returned with "Lady Madonna" that reminded me of my father's Longine's Symphonette 101 Strings collection. It was nice but not really memorable. The Orchestra did hit full stride with their orchestral arrangement of "My Love" which was breathtaking. The lads then returned to perform some of the most complex of Beatles music with the Orchestra fully up to task as back up. Their repertoire included: "Yesterday", "She's Leaving Home" (which brought many a tear up), "A Day In The Life", "Long and Winding Road", "All You Need Is Love", "Live Or Let Die", "Imagine", "Carry The Weight/I Never Gave You My Money"/The Love You Take/The End", and "My Love" with the group this time (another one to turn on the tear ducts).
After thunderous applause and cheering the group returned three times for encores that all turned into sing-alongs. The first was "Hey Jude" and as the Na Na Na chorus came up everyone in the Pavilion and Lawn Area pulled out their cell phones and waved them back and forth and sang their hearts out. It was a magical time. The four outstanding musicians were quickly called out again for a rousing version of "Twist and Shout" and a third time for "Can't Buy Me Love" thus ending the show.
This was the Beatles in all their glory from their mop top start through the Sargent Pepper era through the psychedelic phase and into their solo careers after the break-up. There was something for everyone.
What really makes this concert so special is that there were probably many in the audience who had never attended a symphony orchestra concert and would have no reason to. This night perhaps will convince them to experience more of the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom and Severance Hall. With this kind of response I would love to see a Pink Floyd Tribute (complete with flying pig), a Led Zeppelin tribute and may be an "All James Bond Concert" (with special singing guests). If you agree, call the Cleveland Orchestra and suggest it.
Family-friendly "Under 18s Free" tickets continue at every Blossom Music Festival concert
The Cleveland Orchestra continues its mission to offer free tickets to young people 17 and under for every Blossom concert again this season. More than 26,000 young people attended Blossom Music Festival concerts through the "Under 18s Free" ticket program in 2011 and 2012.
The "Under 18s Free" initiative is an integral part of The Cleveland Orchestra's Center for Future Audiences, which was created to provide broader access for the Northeast Ohio community and is endowed through the leadership and generosity of the Maltz Family Foundation.
Single Tickets are still on sale
Pavilion tickets range in price from $25 to $100. Tickets for the Lawn and the General Admission sections of the Pavilion for Blossom Music Festival concerts are priced at $20. Individual tickets are on sale by telephone at (216) 231-1111 (or Toll Free at (800) 686-1141), in person at the Severance Hall Ticket Office, and online at clevelandorchestra.com.
The Blossom Box Office opens for the season beginning on Saturday, June 1, and will be open throughout the summer on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. through intermission on concert days.
Lawn Ticket Books include free "Under 18s" and Pavilion Upgrades

About Blossom Music Center
Blossom Music Center, which opened in 1968 as the summer home of The Cleveland Orchestra, is located 25 miles south of Cleveland just north of Akron, Ohio. The Center's name honors the Dudley S. Blossom family, major supporters of The Cleveland Orchestra throughout its history. Blossom is situated in the rolling hills of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which protects 33,000 acres along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland. Blossom lies within the city limits of Cuyahoga Falls, an Ohio community first settled in the early 1800s, at 1145 West Steels Corners Road in Summit County. Blossom reopened in 2003 following the completion of the Blossom Redevelopment Project, which featured a highly-acclaimed renovation of the facility and improved patron amenities. The Blossom Redevelopment Project was the first major capital improvements project in the history of the facility, which serves more than 400,000 visitors each summer. The Blossom Festival is a smoke-free environment. Smoking is not permitted at concerts and other events during the Blossom Festival.
Blossom Music Center address: 1145 W Steels Corners Rd., Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223

Legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta delivered another stunning collection this season at New York Fashion Week. Born in the Dominican Republic, de la Renta moved to Madrid to study painting at the age of 18. However, fashion quickly became his muse and he has become one of the dominant names in haute couture since the 1960's.
Seen as the epitome of every-woman's designer, de la Renta consistently delivers designs that fit and flatter nearly every body type (even us curvy Latinas!) and this collection was no different. As if Oscar walked into Cinderella's closet and pulled out his favorite pieces, this collection reminds us of pure elegance from daytime pencil skirts with chic oversized sweaters, to smartly tailored peplum business suits, to gowns fit for a royal ball. De la Renta truly outdid himself this season!
The colors that he painted his Autumn/Fall collection include black, chocolate brown, orange, silver, gold, deep reds and a bold cobalt intermixed with patchwork patterns and textured prints in combinations of black & white with accents of cobalt or gray. The print that caught our attention was a black, white and cobalt zebra-esque horizontal striped dress and blazer.
When we saw this dress walk down the runway we imagined a modern day Cinderella making a grand entrance onto the Oscars' red carpet adorned in a sleeveless light pink gown, punctuated by a plunging v-neck ending at a solid gold belt at her natural waist with a full sheer overlay of gold embroidered bows. Who do you picture wearing this timeless gown?
Another stand-out dress was a sleeveless cobalt lace form-fitting floor length gown with a black fur collar and a black leather belt placed at the natural waist.
From sheers, to furs, to patchwork prints the detailing was immaculate. From fitted silhouettes featuring fringe, ruffles, and pleating to geometric prints and wiry swirls adjacent to lace and leather, there is something in this collection for every woman.
To see more about Oscar de la Renta, please visit www.OscardelaRenta.com
We would love to hear what your favorite piece is and where you would wear it, please comment below!

NEW YORK (AP) -- The great Mariano Rivera is getting set to close his career. The New York Yankees' reliever plans to announce this weekend that he will retire after the 2013 season, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement. A news conference was called for Saturday at the Yankees' spring training complex in Tampa, Fla. The 43-year-old closer is baseball's saves leader with 608. He is regarded as one of the best clutch pitchers in history, posting a record 42 postseason saves with an 0.70 ERA while helping the Yankees win five World Series championships.

Wow! It isn't often you have two really great things in a row!
Last week, I had the great good fortune to see the San Francisco Opera's production of Puccini's Madame Butterfly. Now, just going to the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House is a grand experience, but when you add the magnificent performance rendered by Patricia Racette as Butterfly, well... it just doesn't get much better.
Now, this past Saturday I saw a production by a small company, "The Royal English Opera." All their productions are sung in English. All the performers are local and most are non professional people who sing for the pure joy of singing. The company is the love-child of singer-musician-voice instructor, Moira Greyland.
When I asked Ms. Greyland why a small opera company, she said, "... well, after teaching voice, I had all these damn good singers, and it seemed to me like I'd better put them to work."
This past Saturday, I did see them at work and a damn good work it was. Of course without the resources of the San Francisco Opera Company, and the background of the War Memorial Opera House, one could not expect a performance of such scope and magnitude as that venue offers, but... let me say that if you attend "The Royal English Opera's" production of Butterfly, you will not be disappointed in the least, and it will have been an evening well spent. In fact, I will make so bold as to say that when it came to tyhe costuming, The Royal English Opera's made a far better showing than S.F. did. Not only is s Greyland a wor4ld class musician, she is also a costumer beyond compare. The kimonos of all the ladies were exquisite and this reporter feels like an utter ass because she forgot her camera.
There are several more performances of this worthy production over the next two weeks. I encourage you to take one of them in. Although everyone should have the opportunity to experience world class productions at venues like the San Francisco Opera House, it is also vital that we all support our local arts community.
