Yeah Right...
Two weeks after this conversation where I was told I would not have a bill for November due to the deposit being deducted from it, I then received an inflated bill for two months of service!! I was confused (naturally one would be) and I called back into First Choice Power and asked why did I receive a bill for two months of service when I was told my November balance had been taken care of. I was then told the man I spoke to didn't know what he was talking about and that they could not bill me for November due to "System Integration" and that instead decided to bill me both months the next month.
This was NUTS.. So here I was after paying other bills with the extra money now being told I needed to pay TWICE the amount. First Choice agents were rude, did not seem to care that THEIR MISTAKE caused all of this and I asked to speak to a manager who told me the most time she could give me extra was 15 days.
I said Ok. So then she stated before she made the arrangement she would have read a verbatim. I said ok. She then proceeded to tell me that by accepting this agreement for a payment arrangement (again caused by their OWN MISTAKE) I would have to agree to have a "Switch Hold" placed on my account which would bar me from ever being able to access electricity anywhere else in exchange for the agreement. I said NO FREAKING WAY.
I have lived in Texas for several years and have been with other electricity providers and have never even heard of a "Switch Hold". Who in their right minds would even agree to have their rights to change companies taken from them! I can't believe Texas is allowing this and it seems to go against Free Market principles. First Choice Power is in effect Holding People HOSTAGE!
The woman I spoke to told me that First Choice "Had to Protect Themselves" and make sure people don't "Run Off" and my response to her was First Choice is a business and a business assumes certain risks and I have never heard of any electrical provider holding someone hostage (I didn't know they could do that even) until they extract payment. That means that families could never go to any other provider and would be tied to the hip with First Choice. Why force people into switch holds when they are seeking a BASIC TWO WEEK PAYMENT EXTENSION ON A BALANCE THAT IS $60.00!?
It seems like a Shady way to do business. I didn't like the sound of it and told the lady NO WAY.
I'm now looking for another electricity provider. Something doesn't seem right about this. As I stated, I was with my previous electrical provider for years and there were times I needed payment arrangements and I was never forced into switchholds. They simply assisted me.
Last, I googled "Switch Holds" to get more information on them and ALAS! GUESS WHAT CAME UP! Yep. You guess it. About Four spots down the name FIRST CHOICE POWER COMPLAINTS going all the way back to 2008 from people complaining about missed bills and Switch Holds.

Hi, i wonder if anyone knows how to center the "next" and "previous" text when using thickbox gallery with nextgen plugin. the reason i want this is i use images with different width dimensions and its a hassle that the left-alligned "Next" text moves constantly.
Also, sometime i use descriptions and sometimes not, then it also changes place. it would be nice to have the navigation in the same place all the time ....
Other then that i love nextgen :) thanks alot for help.
best regards

The 20-year-old, dressed in a headscarf, showed no ill affects from Friday night's opening ceremony when she carried the flag of the tiny Gulf nation, but her efforts ended at the first hurdle as she missed out on one of the eight places in the final.
Al Hamad finished with a score of 395 out of 400 from her 40 shots with 397 proving the required mark to compete for the first gold medal of the Games in a final which starts at 11:00am local time.
Swamped by requests for interviews the diminutive shooter appeared overawed by all the attention.
"Yes, I am very happy. I'm so proud," she told reporters before fleeing the media scrum that surrounding her.
Qatar, along with Saudi Arabia and Brunei, were the only IOC countries to have never sent a female competitor to the Olympics but all have women participating in London.
Al Hamad, who received a wild card to take part, is not the only woman competing for Qatar in London. Sprinter Noor Al-Malki and swimmer Nada Arakji will represent the nation which failed in a bid to host the 2020 Olympics but plans to try again for 2024.
Interest in the eight finalists at the Royal Artillery Barracks was limited as Malaysia's Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi, who is eight months pregnant, stole the show.
Suryani said she had experienced three or four kicks during the 75 minute qualifying session. She finished 34th with a total of 392 from her 40 shots.
"I just breathed in and breathed out," she told reporters when asked if the kicks from her unborn child had put her off.
"I told her to behave herself, let mummy shoot, don't move so much. She always listens to me, luckily."
World number one Yi Siling of China and defending champion Katerina Emmons of the Czech Republic were amongst the eight women competing in the final which was attended by International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge.

Received a very welcome free upgrade to a suite. Wonderful large shower and jetted tub. We did not partake in the complimentary breakfast.
Not a luxury location but a very good value.
Was right off the interstate, great location. Very clean and comfortable rooms.
One certain staff member was pretty rude. Don't ask for extra towels or shampoo! He gets upset.
The room was very clean, the view of the river was great. Overall excellent experience.
The view from the river side of the hotel was excellent. It was a short drive to most everything and staff was friendly. The breakfast was nice and had a good selection.
The fitness center was quiet lame it only had a bike elliptical and one weight machine.
Hotel is supposedly haunted!
The staff were attentive friendly and even fun to talk to. The central location of the Hotel made it easy to walk or drive for everything we needed. Thanks again to the staff for being fun and professional. Food was great to.
Evertthing was wonderful!
Was a good place to rest our heads for the night but of course nothing too fancy. Breakfast was decent. Good location-- convenient and close to downtown (driving distance) and only 20 minutes to the hanging lake trailhead!
The lights in our room didn't work and the room felt old and a bit musty. Smelled like smoke despite being a non smoking room. All in all though, not bad for a cheap price and we were just there for one night to rest up for Hanging Lake so it fit the bill!!
Check in was a disaster. 3:00 check in means 4:00 to their staff with no apologies. They changed the bed request from king to 2 queens for one of the couples in our party with no explanation. We sat and waited for our room to be ready for 50 minutes while party after party were handed their room keys after us. The clerk was rude and just said they were really busy. Not even I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We were late to our granddaughter's first birthday because of their incompetence. Not happy.
Overall it was good!
Parking was bad, we couldn't find a parking spot because they didn't have enough.
The Wedding right below our room and the exit door next to our room.
The non-smoking room spelled terriblly of smoke; it was in the carpet, drapes, and furniture. The carpet was in bad shape and paint was coming off in many spots. We will not be back.
It is a comfortable hotel. Location at a walking/short drive distance from shops and attractions.
Breakfast was not a good level. No offering of fresh baked goods. Canned fruit offerings of papaya and pineapple were not fresh and did not taste good. Coffee was nothing special and had no real taste of coffee
Nice hotel / good breakfast
To expensive
Upon arrival, the woman at the desk was pleasant and welcoming. The woman that worked during the night was also pleasant the next morning. The room had plenty of space, toiletries, and was easy to heat up. The carpet seemed to be well vacuumed. It was dark, quiet, and restful. Additionally, my hotel "neighbors" were respectful and quiet - always a pleasure when folks are considerate when departing early.
The cleaning was average. Someone's hair was in the tub and on the toilet and also on the sink. The bed spread near the bathroom had food smeared into it and looked like it needed to be washed. There were no extra blankets or pillows if wanted (they may be available upon request). Additionally, the internet service was great the first night and terrible the second night and morning. I could not send a crucial email out.
Great walking distance to adventure park, dining, and the hot springs pool.
Cleanliness was totally lacking! Our kids feet were black after spending a few minutes walking barefoot on the carpet and tile floors. We had to wash them then and then they wore shoes the rest of the time. The kitchenette was nice, but all the things you'd expect to come with a kitchenette were not there....a coffee pot, but no filters or coffee. No pans to use, no cookware, no dishsoap. So, basically useless. The wifi didn't work in our room. The room next to us left little dogs unattended at night and so they could be heard barking for hours. The room above us was noises too with people and dogs running around. I had called ahead to make sure a crib would be ready for our son. I was assured it would not be a problem as they have many at their disposal. When we arrived we were told they were out. We gave evidence of when we called and they ended up buying a new one and placed it in our room. Breakfast was just ok. Nothing fresh offered....fruit, yogurt, etc. we ate there only one morning. Ended up going to other restaurants instead.
We have two dogs and always feel catered to at this hotel. The rooms are unique, and the staff is always accommodating to our needs.
We were initially placed in a room next to a very loud group of people. We were tired and wanted to sleep so we were moved. The only minor inconvenience.
Very clean. Nice bed. Good shower. Excellent value for this area.
Clean, comfortable, quiet.
We loved the management, great, friendly, very helpful. you can tell they take great pride in the place and what they do. It was clean and well taken care of. price was good too.
Would have liked . to have some fruit and yogurt available for breakfast
We try to stay at the Best Western Antlers evey year. It isn't the lowest price but to me it is the best value. The grounds are beautiful, he continental breakfast is great. We have tried other Glenwood hotels but this is our favorite.
Our room was a little musty when we walked in but it cleared when we lowered the air conditioning a bit.
Playground and kiddie pool
No late check out
It was a very simple room but clean and affordable. Great location as well. We were able to find anything we could possibly need right in the same area. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the surroundings and atmosphere very pleasant and romantic for sure.
Well kept, fairly priced, nice people.
Breakfast could have been more robust.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Good price for Glenwood Springs.
Continental breakfast very basic, nothing special. Not much room to eat in the breakfast room. Towel rod in the bathroom was bent. We wondered how that happened. Very little parking and very tight parking lot.
This hotel is newly remodeled with mew beds that are somewhat soft but cozy with down comforters and crisp sheets. Bathrooms are new, room includes mini kitchenette with fridge and microwave and coffee maker. Smelled wonderfully clean - felt very clean. Staff is welcoming. Location off the main drag with. Step out front porch area to sit outside if you wish. No bells and whistles, but by far the best value motel I've seen in Glenwood.
Arrived a bit late in the evening, the owner was in the office, and was wonderful! Enjoyed a nice chat, was pleasantly surprised to find a very nice king bed room, super clean, comfy bed, this was the best hotel value I've had a really long time! Definitely would recommend this place and I will be coming back here the next time I visit Glenwood Springs!
They made me fell like family
On a bussiness and didn't get to to bring my family.
Very convenient location. Warm welcome and quick check- in process
It just happened to be a loud crowd over this past weekend
The staff at front desk was so awesome. We loved it
Ability to walk anywhere
The staff was remarkably friendly
The room was cold, but there was a small portable heater provided.
Conveniently close to the town attractions. An indoor waterpark at the hotel. And complimentary breakfast. Courteous and helpful staff.
From the moment we checked in we noticed something special about the Hotel Glenwood Springs - amazing customer service. From the front desk staff to housekeeping, we found everyone to be friendly and helpful. Our room was great and the water park was perfect for our 8-year-old son. We loved how dog friendly the hotel was and it was great to have "all" of our family together.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

CHAMBERSBURG — Chambersburg police have issued an arrest warrant for the suspect in a murder last month on West King Street.
Police say Kevin D. Rouner, 37, Gardners could be armed and dangerous.
What happened
He is accused in the shooting death of David W. Gipe, 44, of 354 W. King St., which was originally reported as a pedestrian hit-and-run at 11:15 p.m. July 18.
Gipe was found lying dead in the eastbound lane in front of his home by emergency personnel. Police determined he had been shot as he got out of his vehicle.
During the investigation, Rouner was identified as a suspect and a warrant for his arrest for first-degree murder was issued Thursday.
The suspect
"Anyone having information concerning Kevin Rouner's whereabouts is asked to contact your local police agency immediately," reads a news release from Chambersburg police. "If he or his vehicle are seen, immediately call 911 and report the location. The firearm used in the murder has not been recovered and it is unknown if Rouner still possesses or has access to the weapon, therefore citizens are asked not to approach him themselves."
Rouner is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 260 pounds. He has glasses, brown eyes and long brown hair which he wears in a ponytail. He drives a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix.
The four-door sedan is silver and has the license number HSE4521.
Anyone with information should call Chambersburg police at 264-4131 or Franklin Crime Solvers 263-3000.

Upgrading from 1.14.5 within WP 3.4.2 causes the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in wp-includes/query.php on line 27
Upgrading from 1.14.5 within WP 3.4.2 causes the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in wp-includes/query.php on line 27
I've filed a GitHub issue: https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/497
We'll get to the bottom of it.
Hey there, looks like a very odd issue we haven't yet seen on any sites before.
Would you be open to letting me get in and fix it for you?
I ended up patching with a fix which should resolve this. It's in Pods 2.0.2, so please let us know if you have any further issues. Our top priority is ensuring no bugs like this occur for all of our awesome users :)
Scott & pglewis, thanks for your help. The issue remains with Pods 2.0.2 I have submitted my info for you just now - Thanks!
Didn't get this notification e-mail yet so pglewis clued me in.
Thanks for submitting your info, we're very puzzled with the issue and want to get it resolved for you asap.
It seems like an issue with another caching plugin, Quick Cache. Not sure what's up there yet.
For the record, I get this issue as well, with Pods 184.108.40.206 on WP 3.4.2
Am running Xampp lite and PHP 5.3.1.
Will try installing on a full version of Xampp later and report back.
I do not have Quick Cache installed, or any other caching plugin.
Very few plugins installed in fact.
tried it on my other install, and the same problem - Fatal error.
The one thing I have in common with both installs is that I have Events Manager installed...
Deactivate that and Pods seems to run with no problem. Activate one or the other and all is well...
Activate both at the same time, and BOOM!
Looks like they don't get along...
Any chance of fixing it? I have no clue what could be causing it myself.
same thing for me, events manager installed as well...
Looking into this, we've done everything we can do to limit this kind of stuff from happening as all of our wp_cache calls have checks if the $wp_object_cache has been init yet. I'll see if Events Manager isn't doing that or something else is going on.
This is the plugin you are all having compatibility issues with, right?
exactly, thanks for looking into it.
It looks like it's the events-manager/em-ical.php file
It's doing something in parse_query that is getting messed up, but Pods doesn't interact with parse_query or $wp_query. I'm still digging into it to see what's going on.
Pods makes a get_posts call before $wp_query is set, the Events Calendar plugin is hooking into parse_query but using a $wp_query variable check with get_query_var which fails, because $wp_query isn't set yet. This seems like a bug with WordPress core itself really, but I'll contact the Events Manager author with a workaround for him until then.
I contacted the author, watch for an update soon from that plugin which should resolve this conflict.
For now, just add this to a plugin, it disables the iCal from being available but both plugins will work until the update:
function fix_em_ical () {
remove_action ( 'parse_query', 'em_ical_event' );
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'fix_em_ical', 9 );
got the email, thanks Scott! will look into this and fix.
Just tried using that little bit of code (inserted into a different plugin), but am still getting the error - generally on saving fields in a Pod.
Just to check, does it make any difference where it goes? I've tried inserting it into one of my own plugins, but not sure whether it would be better off in EM, Pods, or functions.php
Having said that, tried it in various places, and still no joy.
Btw, this is now fixed in our update 5.2.9. Props to Scott for figuring out the root of the problem.
great news :)
The Event Manager updated solved my conflict for upgrade as well. Thanks!
Just a heads up, I had to code a workaround for this very issue in our WPMU DEV MarketPress plugin.
You can see the details here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/marketpress-conflict-with-pods-plugin?replies=9#post-334908
Ok, there seemed to be a bug in PODS in their activation function. It was only run on activation, or first install pageload. Something in it is unsetting the $wp_query object before the 'pre_get_posts' action hook which is supposed to pass $wp_query, already initialized (hence it's a PODs bug as it's breaking a core hook).
I was able to put a workaround in the 'pre_get_posts' in MarketPress's situation as didn't need to use that filter admin side, but this issue could cause problems with other plugins as well.
Essentially I think you should find a way to not call get_posts() before the main WP query. All those hooks like 'parse_query' and 'pre_get_posts' assume the $wp_query global is set, and pass it as a reference to be accessed. So of course plugin authors would expect it to be set already.
Note this problem only seems to be in your initial activation or first page load after activation function. If I disabled those hooks, activated pods, then reenabled them all was fine. I'm sure you can find a different way to code that for better compatibility of other plugins.
I'll work on making that adjustment, I thought more plugins ran their init further down the actions line, closer to the 'init' action, or at least 'setup_theme'. Instead of on 'plugins_loaded' I'll work on hooking into it at 'setup_theme'.
The technical capability to call WP_Query prior to $wp_the_query/$wp_query globals being set should still be watched out for in general, so I'd still recommend you also use your add_action integrations with WP_Query during 'setup_theme'.
I'm also experienceing the same issue, with Pods 2.2 on WP 3.4.2, running Xampp 1.7.7 and PHP 5.3.8.
I'm not using Events Manager, so it's probably conflicting with some other plugins. Haven't figured out which one yet but I'll try to report it if I ever found out.
Okay.. I found the conflicting plugin: WP-CommentNavi (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-commentnavi/)
However, if I deactivate WP-CommentNavi, then activate PODS, then activate WP-CommentNavi again, it seems to work. But I have yet to test if PODS will function well, though, with both plugins installed.
Okay, so functionality wise, it's broken with both installed. I can't create new PODs without getting the Fatal Error all over again.
Seems like this line below is what's causing the error:
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'commentnavi_allcomments');
Any workaround?
Pods 2.3 no long has this issue, confirmed with a few other people who had the same conflict errors. It's still in Alpha testing, you could do this for now in your own plugin or theme's functions.php file:
remove_action('pre_get_posts', 'commentnavi_allcomments');
add_action('pre_get_posts', my_commentnavi_allcomments');
function my_commentnavi_allcomments () {
global $wp_query;
if ( isset( $wp_query ) && is_object( $wp_query ) )

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are making an unwelcome comeback all across the United States. We are seeing especially problematic increases in syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia.
What is behind the amazing increase in disease? It is thought to be due to the fact that HIV is now becoming a manageable disease thanks to PReP, and HAART therapies, as well as due to the rise of apps like Grindr and Tinder for quick anonymous hookups.
What kind of increases are we seeing?
- California:
- Santa Barbara, reports indicate that there were only 10 cases of syphilis in 2012, and almost 40 cases in 2015. Gonorrhea doubled in 2015 (from 170 in 2012 to 334 cases in 2015). There were over 2300 cases of Chlamydia in 2015 as well (up 20%).
- Bakersfield had 28 babies diagnosed with congenital syphilis, with 6 children dying from the infection.
- Illinois:
- the number of cases of syphilis rose from 1,682 in 2014 to 1,974 in 2015;
- chlamydia cases rose from 66,593 in 2014 to almost 70,000 cases in 2015,
- gonorrhea rose from 15,971 cases in 2014 to 17,130 in 2015.
- Indiana:
- Had a 70% increase in syphilis, from 297 cases in 2014 to over 500 in 2015.
- Texas:
- Lubbock County Texas is under a syphilis alert due triple the number of cases as of the end of April of 2016 as there were in all of 2015.
- Las Vegas:
- Saw an increase of 128% in the number of cases of syphilis from 2014 to 2015
- Maine:
- There were 3993 cases of chlamydia reported in 2015 and 422 cases of gonorrhea. Based on numbers in for the first four months of the year, Maine is on track to surpass both those numbers in 2016.
and finally:
- Wake County, NC:
- There was a 40% increase in cases of syphilis from 2014 to 2015.
The main populations where the increase is being detected in the highest percentages is in young adults and homosexual men. If you think that this is a problem only in America, there are also reports of the same thing happening in the UK, Sweden, Japan and Australia.
The majority of the time, these diseases can be treated with simple antibiotic therapy, but if untreated can lead to serious problems. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility. If untreated, syphilis can cause blindness, neonatal disease and even death.
Word has got to go out. Young people and gay populations CAN control this with simple common sense precautions like condoms or knowing your sexual partner.
Safe sex is not something that should be thought of as only something reserved for HIV.
There have been over 2000 cases of Syphillis documented in Japan by the end of Oct., 2015. This was up from around 1600 cases in all of 2014.
The main cohort of infected individuals? Females in the 20 to 24 years age group.
One of the main reasons sited for the increase in this demographic is declining risk of contracting HIV.

Dr. Aziz Sancar, just won the Nobel Prize for chemistry today, along with two other scientists,Dr.Tomas Lindahl from the Francis Crick Institute and Clare Hall Laboratory, and Dr. Paul Modrich, from Duke University. All study different mechanisms of DNA repair. The coolest thing is that my micro class just studied all three repair mechanisms. One of the things Dr. Sancar stated in the news conference at UNC, that an understanding of how DNA gets mutated, and how the cell fixes these mutations, is integral in understanding the foundations of cancer, as well as the establishing an understanding of a treatment for cancer.
Dr. Sancar studies the mechanism behind UV (sunlight damage) called thymine dimer repair, called excision repair (link to Youtube animation).
Dr. Modrich studies the mechanism behind mismatch repair (link to Youtube animation)
Dr. Lindahl studies the mechanisms of repair behind oxidative damage, called base excision repair.

A new study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine and discussed in the journal Science this week illustrates the importance of a normal microbiome and what changes in your microbiota may mean for long term health.
To look find associations between microbiota and disease, scientist have been looking at the entire microbiome. They do this using something called high-throughput genetic sequencing of the 16S ribosomal DNA sequence. The researchers who published this study were from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and investigated the microbiome of 319 babies at both the 3 month and at the 1 year mark. They then tracked the health of these babies over 5 years (where they looked at overall health at the 1 year/3 year/5 year time points).
Researchers found a significant difference in 4 key populations of bacteria. Children who were low or missing these four types of bacteria had a much higher chance to go on to develop asthma as they aged. The key missing bacteria were from the genera Lachnospira, Veillonella, Faecalibacterium, and Rothia.
First of all let me stress: These are NOT bacteria that come from eating yogurt or taking probiotics. These are specific bacteria found in the normal guts of newborn infants and were only found using this new method of sequencing ALL the bacteria found in the gut. It is important to note that only these new techniques allow us to see and compare all the bacteria in the gut (it is be very hard to culture or identify even a fraction of the normal microbiome using the old standard techniques for bacterial identification).
But to prove it was the loss of these missing organisms that were CAUSING the problem, mice grown in a germ free environment were given microbiota from babies in the study lacking these four kinds of bacteria. The mice given this type of flora developed inflamed lungs similar to what is seen in asthma.
When they reconstituted the mice with microbiota containing high levels of the four key genera of bacteria, mice were no longer at risk for developing asthma!!!
The scientists in the study were also looking for commonalities in the babies that were missing the important microflora. Were they delivered by C section? Were they given more antibiotics? Were they breast-fed or given formula? Did they live in the city or on a farm. This study indicated that the only factor that seemed to predict the loss of these important four types of bacteria was early exposure to antibiotics.
They are going to continue look to determine if the identification of missing specific organisms in the microbiota of newborns could be an early detection system for allergy and asthma in the future. Also, they are looking to determine if reconstitution of the missing bacteria could be protective!
Stay tuned for more!!!

In my previous blog post, I was discussing how Consumer Reports had conducted an investigation into contamination of retail chicken with known bacterial pathogens. We then discussed in class ground beef, and the likelihood that it will always be contaminated with bacteria. Consumer Reports came through for me again, and in their report: How safe is your ground beef?, they essentially proved me correct. Most ground beef, simply by the way it is processed, would generally be exposed to colicoliform bacteria (bacteria found in poop). What they found was all samples tested contained these bacteria.
And before we go any further, let me stress, that thoroughly cooked hamburger is completely safe. Once your food is cooked (this means inner temp of your burger) is at 160 degrees F, the bacteria that are there are dead. Dead bacteria cannot hurt you. However, if your burger is pink inside, the bacteria that are there are still viable.
What kinds of bacteria did they find? They tested 300 samples of ground beef from various sources- big box stores, whole food stores (conventionally raised cattle, and those from sustainably raised cattle) . They tested for the five main types of bacteria that are indicated in disease from contaminated food: Various strains of E. coli (including O157), Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Enterococcus.
20% contaminated with C. perfringens
10% with S. aureus- strains that included food superantigens
But worse yet, 18% ground beef from conventionally raised cattle were contaminated with superbugs (bacteria resistant to three or more antibiotics). Ground beef from sustainably raised cattle had 9% contamination from superbugs.
More about this tomorrow….

Can bacteria survive the freezer?
Bacteria will freeze along with the food they are on when they are stuck into a freezer. The pathogenic bacteria on foods that cause human disease are primarily mesophiles or organisms that grow best at around 37 degrees Celsius. In a freezer at -20 degrees Celsius, their bacterial enzymes cannot function because the water inside the cell has frozen, so they cannot grow. It has been reported that if you put a raw chicken into your freezer (considered a slow freeze), you may reduce the number of bacteria by approximately 90%. This is primarily due to the formation of ice crystals in the bacterial cytoplasm which then ruptures the bacterial cell wall and kills the cell, reducing the number of viable bacteria. In many food processing plants, food is flash frozen in a way that fewer ice crystals form in the food so more bacteria survive as well (up to 70 percent survive as opposed to 10 percent).
So the problem is the exponential growth capacity of bacteria. If the food is thawed improperly, (at room temperature) surviving bacteria on the surface can quickly reproduce to pre-freeze levels (USDA source). So when is this a problem?
Let's use chicken as an example food. In a Consumer Reports article in 2013, chicken from retail stores around the country were tested and Salmonella was found on 10.8 percent and Campylobacter on 43 percent of all samples tested. Just this spring in the UK, they tested over 4000 samples and found that 73 percent of all chicken tested were positive for Campylobacter. Worse yet, of those, 19 percent were deemed heavily contaminated. So even ten percent of these organisms on the thawed bird would be a serious contamination issue.
The other way that we know that bacteria survive freezing is just to check the news and the various outbreaks of illnesses linked to frozen foods. There was an outbreak in March, 2013 of E. coli O121 that sickened 24 people in 18 states linked to frozen chicken quesadillas. The most recent outbreak is actually ongoing, where they have linked raw, frozen, Stuffed Chicken Entrees by Barber Foods to a Salmonella outbreak that has sickened 9 people in four states. Not only have these people become seriously ill, but the CDC identified that the strain of Salmonella responsible for the outbreak is a multi-drug resistant strain impervious to both tetracycline and ampicillin.
Best case practices in the case of contaminated foods? For pre-cooked food such as the quesadillas, reheat according to directions on box. Bacteria are killed by reaching temperatures of 165F, even muti-drug resistant bacteria.
For raw food, such as chicken, make sure to use aseptic technique when handling the food. Don't touch surfaces of the kitchen with hands that have come into contact with the bird. Watch where the juice from the thawed chicken lands (it will be full of viable bacteria). Don't wash your chicken in the sink, it aerosolizes the bacteria, and they may land on other surfaces that you are not aware of. NPR had a nice overview of what to do if you want to brine your chicken or marinade,-just remember that this fluid has bacteria in it and be careful when you are pulling the chicken out as to where the water droplets go. Thaw food in your refrigerator, in cold water, or in brine.
I always have a dish of hot soap water ready and wash my hands a lot when handling raw chicken. I turn on my faucet to wash my hands with my arm. Washing hands with soap is sufficient to prevent contamination. I also have my sink empty and all counter surfaces clear so that if anything DOES land there, it is a simple soap and water clean up.

A new outbreak of the strain of E. coli O157:H7 has just occurred in Canada. There have been just 12 cases, but all of the bacteria in those cases have exhibited the same genetic fingerprint, indicating an a common source epidemic (one that arises from a contaminated food source). Epidemiologists investigating the outbreak have not identified one food, but leafy greens.
The Public Health Agency of Canada is warning people to wash all food, keep refrigerated properly and use aseptic technique! From the article:
The following tips will help you reduce your risk of infection with E. coli or other food-borne illnesses:
- Wash fresh fruits and vegetables before eating them, clean counters and cutting boards and wash your hands regularly.
- Bacteria can grow in the danger zone between 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Keep cold foods cold at or below 4 °C (40 °F) and keep hot foods hot at or above 60 °C (140 °F).
- Keep refrigerators clean and at a temperature below 4 °C (40 °F). Install a thermometer in your fridge to be sure.
- Place raw meat, poultry and seafood in containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Use containers that are large enough to prevent raw juices from dripping onto other food or touching other food.
- Keep raw food away from other food while shopping, storing, preparing and serving foods.
- Read labels and follow cooking and storage instructions for all food. When buying food, make sure to check the "best before" date, and if the product has expired, let the store know.
- Use warm soapy water to clean knives, cutting boards, utensils, your hands and any surfaces that have come in contact with food, especially meat and fish.
- Refrigerate or freeze perishable food within two hours of cooking.
- Freeze or consume leftovers within four days of cooking. Always reheat leftovers until steaming hot before eating.
There is an outbreak of scarlet fever occurring in the UK. What makes this different from a regular Strep sore throat (caused by Streptococcus pyogenes) is that the strains of Strep causing these outbreaks encode a gene that allows them to produce a superantigen-exotoxin. This causes the non-specific activation of T helper cells, and creates the characteristic signs and symptoms of a sandpaper rash, and strawberry tongue.
But it is interesting how the signs and symptoms develop. First comes the typical Strep sore throat signs, a sore throat and a fever. Then, 12-48 hours after the first signs develop, the effect of the exotoxin becomes apparent, causing the effects of activation of non-specific T helper cells (the superantigen exotoxin binds outside of the antigen-binding site on the MHC class II molecule, allowing TCRs on T helper cells to non-specifically interact with these MHC molecules, and become activated.
The other thing to note, is that the effects of this toxin are relatively mild, and the threat to the child is the same as that of a regular Strep sore throat. In a patient under the age of 18, it should be treated immediately with antibiotics to prevent the Strep sore throat sequelae: Rheumatic fever or kidney failure, that occurs as a consequence of mounting an antibody response to specific strains of Streptococcus pyogenes.

Yes, they have given an entire YEAR to celebrate phage and the discovery of phage 100 years ago! There are a number of articles that discuss the illustrated history of phage and how we may use phage to try to stop bacterial infections, as well as the beauty and diversity of different phages. For the last one make sure to scroll through all the images at the top of the article. Here is an example of the beautiful images created by the artist, Ben Darby:
From the Illustrated History of phage research:
If tailed phages on the planet Earth were laid end to end they would extend for 200 million light years?
It is also an illustration of where we may be going with phage technology as well!!

Ok, some of you are off for spring break to a place that is sunny and warm (hopefully). But new research from Yale University published in the journal Science (Feb.20, 2015) indicates that UV irradiation causes both direct damage (DNA dimer formation that causes mis-reading of a DNA strand) during UV exposure, but can also create reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (free radicals) that act on the melanin in our skin for at least 3 hours AFTER exposure to UV light. This damage happens with BOTH sun exposure as well as tanning bed exposure- any UV exposure.
This data indicates that melanin that protects us from the sun, may also cause cancer as well. This reinforces the notion that there is no such thing as a protective "base tan". It is all DNA damage, plain and simple. And will continue to harm you long after you leave the sun.
So… on that note, I wanted to let you all know that sunscreens work! But sunscreens are water-resistant, NOT waterproof, or sweatproof. Water resistant means that they will protect you for about 40 or 80 minutes in the water (depending on the type you purchased), but then have to be reapplied. Also, did you know that an SPF rating of 15 absorbs 93% of UV rays, and that 30% absorbs 97%? Any sunscreen rated higher than an SPF of 30 may be fudging their numbers, as it is almost impossible to stop more than 97% of UV rays. And with this in mind from the same article:
The rules also say only sunscreens with a sun protection factor higher than 15 can claim to reduce the risk of skin cancer, aging, and sunburn, and that those rated SPF 2 to 14 must be clearly labeled as not doing so.
So that means, if you use a sunscreen with an SPF of less than 15%, you are at risk for ALL of those: aging, cancer and sunburn.
So remember, have fun in the sun, but use a sunscreen of at least 15% and reapply often!!!
Happy spring break.

My iContact account has a lot of lists -- more than 20. Unfortunately it seems that the plugin can only display the first 20 when creating a feed, and there doesn't appear to be any kind of paging functionality to allow me to see more than that.
I suspect this is something to do with an API limit on the number of returned items, is there a quick fix just to make all the lists appear on the same page? Thanks!

Mitsubishi unveils a pair of new all electric racecars for 2013 Pikes Peak hill climb
If you think about automotive racing, green probably doesn't come to mind. However, race teams are very keen on fuel efficiency and races are commonly won based on fuel economy alone. If one racecar can go more miles in the form of laps that another, they have to make less stops for fuel and therefore win more races. There are also a number of pure electric racecars out there that race various types of events.

Congratulations LH
hi PG, sorry for delay. Been busy with personal things..
if you look at my posts, I do not think I ever praise any ferrari drivers, I only praised some underdog drivers, like vettel, glock, kubica, etc. I did slammed FM.
You can mark me as ferrari fan or not, but, I did critized both ferrari and mclaren.
I agree that team orders are always there, but the one I refered to is the second race, at that time HK were faster and LH tried to passed him and failed, and after RD pushed comm button, few second later LH passed HK.
and again it is not FM I was talking about, it's KR. canada, shanghai, etc. regarding shanghai race, i was backing up FM because I knew LH would closed the door and forced him ot of track, but I did not realize it was a dumb and dumber race, of course FM reacted and from the recording I saw FM tires turned to the right and hit LH, so I retraced my support for FM.
I still stand behind my posts like, I think BE really wants to see LH as a wdc, some new regulations heavily favors LH and mc laren like harder tires regulations etc. so for me, if LH win this year wdc is not a news, it is just waiting to happen.
even MS just gave comments regarding who is faster between LH and FM, and the answer was, nobody can really tell, especially from outside formula 1. I think it was a polite way to say it can be arranged :D
if LH is so super talented like everybody says.....believe me, British guru like Brawn would praises him like he did on FA.
I would be really surprise if LH do not get the wdc this year. Just pls do not make comparison(not pointing at you PG, but for some fanatics) between tiger woods and LH. TG's equipments anybody can have, not his skills, but LH's mclarens, only he has it, about his skills?...well I think too many in F1 grid has that kind of talent.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
sorry typo,

Hi moore,
The post is so old I can't remember what I was raving on about :-)
When it comes down to it, a driver in the best car is never going to get recognition for what he achieves because it will always be put down to the car. If that driver then totally outclasses his teammate, it's all down to the team favouring one driver over the other.
We'll never know how good the individual drivers are because they will never all be driving the same car (unless Max gets his way). Therefore all we can do is recognize a good win as a good win and a balls up as a balls up. This year LH has managed both - in style...........

The Californian trails Sayfutdinov by 24 points in the race for the title ahead of round six in Gorzow on June 15.
He said: "The last few rounds have definitely been below-par for me so all I can do is keep battling away.
"There are still a lot of rounds to go, but it's not an easy challenge.
"Emil is a man on a mission and I know how it is to be in that mode. When you're on, you're on, so good for him and it's up to us to bring him back down. But it's not going to be easy."

Since my granddaughter will be going to college this fall, while searching the intenet, I found Grant Fund Search and thought I might get some use of a CD that they were offering for $1.98. This was supposedly the cost of shipping it to me. I did authorized a charge for $1.98 to be debited from my account but have never received their CD. Now my bank account is showing a charge of $69.95, which I did not authorized. According to the "Customer Service" rep, I was told that this was non-refundable as I had ample time to contact them to cancel my membership which I didn't even know existed. This rep told me that they would not refund this amount because "You might ignored or did not read it first before you placed your request for the CD.) I tried to explain to him that I did not sign up for a membership in anything. This fell on deaf ears. From reading other complaints, I found another phone number (1-888-584-0883) to contact Eric Travis. I have called this number at various times throughout the day and night, up to 2:30am, and continuously receive a message that "all circuits are busy." Either this is a bogus number or the telephone company has a very serious problem.
Today, I checked my account again and found that Ideal Wealth Builder Club processed a debit to my account in the amount of $29.95. From reading other complaints, I found that this so call Club is somehow attached to Grant Funding Search. I have contaced my bank and cancelled my debit card because who knows how many more of these fraudulent companies are attached to Grant Fund and they now have my number. I have also filed a discrepance report with my bank. I did some research with the Secretary of State of Nevada and found that a Gregory Christensen is the Registered Agent on file. His address is in Las Vegas and not Henderson Nevada. I am continuing my search to get a phone number that is ligitimate and to find any information that will be useful in case of a lawsuit.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

AFL moves to overhaul complex match review panel and tribunal system
- From: Herald Sun
- December 08, 2013
REFERRING to matches rather than demerit points when deciding penalties is part of a proposal to overhaul the AFL tribunal system.
And rectifying the distortion caused by carry-over points and bad record loadings is another priority to fix the often contentious guidelines.
Club football managers and list managers are being called to a meeting at the AFL tomorrow to be briefed on the possible alterations to the nine-year-old table of offences, based on demerit points, that replaced the old tribunal panel.
Led by football operations manager Mark Evans, the AFL team has worked on experimental models in the off-season in a bid to simplify the system and deliver more equitable results.
The working group, along with representatives of the AFL Players Association, have used videos of incidents that drew charges and penalties this year to test new models.
The vision provided the chance to gauge the impact and compare outcomes under the proposed models.
Definitions within the conduct category was a focus, with more clarity of what's a negligent and reckless act.
One proposal is for an infringement that draws a free kick to be negligent, while reckless must be an act that's strongly discouraged by the players.
Evans sought feedback from each club two months ago on six key elements of his predecessor Adrian Anderson's tribunal system in time for the AFL to trial changes that could be implemented for the 2014 season.
No definitive model will be presented to the managers at tomorrow's meeting, instead the league will run through what has been tested and the outcomes before seeking input from the clubs again.
Appointments for the match review panel, under chairman Mark Fraser, and the tribunal, under chairman David Jones, are yet to be discussed.
Possible rule changes, such as the roles of runners, training and medical staff on match days, will also be discussed as not every club attended the summit on the Gold Coast the day prior to the AFL national draft.
The AFL working party still has two months before the start of the NAB Challenge to refine a revamped tribunal model and rule changes.Originally published as AFL moves to overhaul tribunal

I agree, everyone need some support group.
This is so true.
For all the Mothers who stop by and look in on what we commenters have to say——-
And a happy mother's day.
Wish I had one. Even so it works as a good psychological release of all the pent up frustrations.
Happy Mother day's
Lynn's Notes:
Ladies…is this not our best form of therapy?…We need each other more than we need Lycra, hair dye, and creams!
Thanks for all the warm wishes. My six children are all adults like you but still need someone to help them with all the issues they face. Everyone could use some moral support and humour each day to make life that much more pleasant to deal with. These comics help put life into perspective…We watch Luann go through all her teenage angst and we can see she's making it so we have a bit more faith that we will too.
Happy Mother's Day !
Our oldest daughter is 40-something(I know but am not going to tell), has a husband and a daughter and handles a lot of things by herself but still call 'Momma' to 'bounce' ideas off of to deal with life. Two of our children are Mothers and to them, I say ' Happy Mother's Day' you have earned it and we are proud of you !!!!
Happy mothers Day to my daughters and daughter-in-law ….you are doing a great job!!!!!
at John Pike — so nice to see your Happy Mother's Day greetings!!!! Thanks! And to everyone who mothers (cares for, nurtures), may it be a glorious day!
Happy Mother's Day to all the Beautiful & Wonderful Women we call MOM!
I agree! No matter how rotten I feel, if I get some time with my girlfriends, I feel much better! Yes, I love my husband, but sometimes you need someone who understands what you're feeling.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!
And THANK YOU to all the really nice comments today!! I was wincing thinking about the negative comments about Elly so this was a really nice surprise! :-)
Isn't the GoComics community your support group? They are one of mine, and I consider you part of the regular gang.
I need a group for the group
Happy Mothers Day – especially to those who want so badly to be mothers but cannot. And to those whose children are gone prematurely for whom this is such a bittersweet day. You too are in our hearts!
