Shortbread cookies are always great to make when you want to make some cookies but do not have eggs on hand. That was where I was today, so I searched and found a Scottish Shortbread recipe that I thought might be fun to try. Of course shortbread by itself is good, but shortbread with chocolate and caramel topping is even better. The chocolate is a Cadbury chocolate spread and the caramel is leftover from the treat of the day early this week.
Simply combined all the ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Beat until crumbly, of course you could use a food processer if you wish.
Form the dough crumbs into a ball and chill for a half hour so it is easier to roll out.
Finally you cut the dough and bake.

Schooner Cove
Welcome to schooner cove!
Schooner Cove offers the finest in independent retirement living. Schooner Cove residents enjoy a peaceful, intimate lifestyle on the banks of the Damariscotta River near the culturally-rich midcoast village of Damariscotta. Whether dining in the spacious, elegant dining room, catching up on your reading in the handsome library, or joining friends for a walk along the river, Schooner Cove offers a splendid lifestyle on the Maine coast.
Schooner Cove took shape in the late 1980s, when a group of insightful individuals saw the possibilities in a riverside independent retirement community on the Miles Health Care campus. Combining the graciousness of an luxury retirement facility with the convenience of an affiliation with Miles Health Care, the idea quickly blossomed into reality. In August 1988, the first residents moved into Schooner Cove - the first independent retirement community with a hospital affiliation in Maine. Almost 20 years later, Schooner Cove remains the finest retirement community in Maine, especially for those with a lot of living yet to do.

MOVJGA returns for another season
PARKERSBURG -For more than 20 years, The Mid-Ohio Valley Junior Golf Association has given young golfers in the area an opportunity to compete on some of the best public courses without having to travel to the far-ends of the state.
Today marks the beginning of yet another season. The tournament is scheduled for an 8:30 a.m. tee time at St. Marys Golf Course and continues with a second stop Wednesday morning at Lakeside Golf Course in Beverly.
"A lot of kids out there don't have money to travel all over the state of West Virginia and get that exposure," said Ted Daugherty, who is part-owner of South Hills Golf Course and also a certified PGA golf professional that founded this tour about the same time the Callaway Junior Tour began as the Top Flite Junior Tour under the late Larry Martin.
"The MOVJGA is aimed more at a level people can afford," Daugherty continued. "It couldn't be done if public golf courses couldn't provide the space and time."
In the past several years, St. Marys Golf Course and North Bend Golf Course have replaced venues such as Northfork Valley Golf Course in Washington and Arrowhead Pines Golf Course in Beverly. North Bend Golf Course is new to the schedule this year.
Junior golfers will have the opportunity to compete at nine courses. After this week's tournaments, the schedule consists of Golf Club of West Virginia (July 2), Worthington Golf Course (July 3), North Bend Golf Course (July 11), Oxbow Golf and Country Club (July 18), Mingo Bottom Golf Club (July 23), South Hills Golf Course (July 29) and Woodridge Golf Club (July 30).
Based on finishes, points are accumulated toward prizes such as $1,000 and $500 college scholarships for the champion and runner-up in the 16-18 age division.
Age brackets also include 8-12 (9 holes) and 13-15. In the event there are a minimum of 12 girls in the 13-15 and 16-18 age divisions, those individuals will play in a separate division. Otherwise, girls play in the same division as boys, but hit from the ladies tees.
The MOVJGA membership fee is $20, which does not include the entry fee for each of the nine tournaments.
For more information, contact Daugherty at South Hills at 304-422-8381 or Ricky Johnson at Oxbow at (740) 423-6771.
"The MOVJGA is one of those things near and dear to my heart," Daugherty said. "I've always been under the impression that if you turn a kid loose on a golf course they will find a way to score."

Whidbey's Amelia Cave earns special award at graduation | KUDOS
Amelia Cave was named one of Western Washington University's "Outstanding Graduates" for the 2010-11 academic year and was honored at spring commencement on Saturday, June 11.
Faculty members from each academic department select one graduate to honor as the Outstanding Graduate of the year. The WWU Community Health Department selected Cave.
University officials said selection as an Outstanding Graduate is a high honor based on grades, research and writing, service to the campus and community, and promise for the future.
Cave will complete a bachelor of science degree this summer with a major in community health and a minor in Spanish.
The daughter of John and Jaryl Cave of Langley, she is a graduate of South Whidbey High School.
At Western, Cave helped create a social marketing campaign to promote Western Wellness, an online health information source, and helped develop a focus group study exploring the occurrence of cyber bullying on Western's campus. She also worked as a peer health educator in the Alcohol and Other Drug Risk Reduction Group with Western's Prevention and Wellness Services.
As a research assistant with the Critical Junctures Institute in Bellingham, Cave helped build a community health assessment.
She is also a volunteer assistant nutrition educator for the Food $ense program of the Washington State University Cooperative Extension and volunteers at the Bellingham Food Bank.
Cave plans to work as a health educator and is considering attending graduate school to study global or public health.

No problems. I should have said 'quick breads' though. Yest breads need gluten in wheat flour.
My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I'm going to slack over the holidays- stay mostly primal but have a few treats that are worthwhile. So, no christmas colored hershey kisses or storebought cookies, but I just had a glass of eggnog from the local dairy creamery laced with some really good bourbon. I'm not going to pass on stuff like great homemade fudge, apple brandy and home made cookies from good bakers. It's once a year and January will be the perfect time for a Whole 30.
I do also want to make some good primal holiday foods. I really want to roast a duck!
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!
My sister has been making Christmas cookies for decades. She sends me a box every year.
My plan is to eat the whole box in one day, pay the price, and then return to my everyday Paleo way.

Yeah, I want to try the MDA recipe, but this nog is the good stuff- you can taste the eggs and cream, not too sweet, thick so you can put bourbon in it. LOL, I figure it meets the eat more fat requirement!Wife just bought some Almond egg nog. Says it's good.

A week or so ago I blogged about a missing Muslim girl who converted to Christianity. I wrote: Atlas Shrugs: Fathima Rifqa Bary: I hope she got away.
Police had been looking for information about Rifqa, a central Ohio teenager who vanished nearly three weeks ago.
The teenager's cell phone has been turned off and her Facebook account deactivated, Kocot reported.
According to police, the girl's friends told detectives that it was possible she ran away because of conflicting religious beliefs in her home.
She's alive! And in court in a custody battle that could send the girl to her death. I pray they have experts who know about honor killings testify. Family members who have lost their relatives to honor killings (for less) should be giving testimony. Amina and Sarah Said's aunt Gail Gartrell should speak; Robert Spencer should speak; Phyllis Chesler and friends of Aqsa Parvez should speak.
She made it. I am so happy I could cry. The West should do everything in its power to save this girl's life.
This girl's life hangs in the balance.
The headline was written by a dhimmi - Christianity is clashing with no one. Islam, OTOH, will sentence this girl to death for apostasy.
ORLANDO - An Ohio runaway teenager, Christianity and the Muslim religion met head-on Monday during a custody dispute in an Orlando courtroom.
The girl, 17-year-old Rifqa Bary, recently converted from her family's faith to Christianity and she is worried about her family's reaction to her change in faith.
"She says her life is in danger and she could be killed in an honor killing," Rosa Gonzalez, the teen's lawyer, said after the hearing. "Unfortunately it happens every day in the U.S."
The young woman has been staying with an Orlando family she met through a prayer group on Facebook for several weeks.
The teen had been staying with Beverly Lorenz and her husband, pastors of the newly launched Global Revolution Church in Orlando. Bary is now in the custody of the Department of Children And Families.
Lorenz said the teen hitchhiked to a Greyhound station in Ohio, and then took a bus to Orlando.
The girl asked Lorenz if she could come to her house. Even though she barely knew the girl, Lorenz said it was OK.
The teen, a non-citizen, told Lorenz she was fearful that her father would send her to Sri Lanka.
After the girl arrived in Orlando, Lorenz said they called an abuse hotline and started calling lawyers, asking what they should do.
Another hearing is scheduled on Friday. However, DCF officials say it a matter to be decided by Ohio authorities
I think as many good folks as possible should contact the court. Try and track down the info and I'll post. This girl must be saved.
She'll also need witness protection of the trial.
Her day in court today.

Broad overhangs undoubtedly a vestige of when chimneys were waddle and daub, hence a protector of the construction. Chimneys are externalizers to disperse heat, their Scottish predecessors internal but still gable ended.

NEW ORLEANS -- These are unstable times around the Trail Blazers.
Two of their star players, LaMarcus Aldridge and Mo Williams, are injured. Reserve big man Joel Freeland is doubtful he will make it back before the season finale. At least two other players, Wesley Matthews and Earl Watson, are battling chest colds. Matthews also has an aching back after trying to take a charge in San Antonio, and Lillard has been like a punching bag of late, taking in-game shots to the head, gut and hip in the last two games.
Adding insult to injury, the Blazers have become a shell of their early-season selves, unable to close games or play consistently against top-tier competition. Not only have the Blazers started this trip 0-4, they have lost eight consecutive games and 12 of 13 to teams with winning records.
To say the pressure is mounting is an understatement.
Head coach Terry Stotts these days is as testy as they come, both on and off the court, and his players kept the locker room doors closed after Wednesday's game to make sure nobody was deserting a sinking ship.
Later, after the media had dissipated, Aldridge left the locker room and boarded the team bus on crutches.
"This is a league of adversity,'' Stotts said Wednesday night in San Antonio. "Every team in the league goes through it at some point. It's how you come through it that matters.''
Now that Williams could miss at least the next eight games, and Aldridge at least the next two, an already tense path to the season's end just became littered with egg shells.
Forget about chasing home court in the playoffs. The Blazers might be hard-pressed to make the playoffs.
Heading into Thursday's NBA play, the Blazers sit in the fifth seed, but have a 3.5 game lead over Dallas and Memphis for the eighth and final playoff spot. Both the Mavericks and Grizzlies hold the tiebreaker over the Blazers by virtue of winning the season series.
The Blazers would need to hold on to a 5.5 game lead they have on Phoenix to make the playoffs.
"We are going to fight,'' Matthews said when faced with the prospect of losing Aldridge. "We are accustomed to (playing a small lineup) ... now it's time for us to make our own luck. Get the 50-50 balls. We need to stop waiting for it to happen and start making it happen.''
Although Matthews wouldn't say what was talked about in the team meeting, Damian Lillard said the tone in general was that the Blazers need to "play for the right reasons.''
"That's playing for each other, and playing to win,'' Lillard said. "Those are the only two things that matter. That the next guy has your back and wants to win just as bad as you do.''

NELSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- A man knocked down an 87-year-old woman and broke her hip Tuesday when he forced his way into her home.
The Portage County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in identifying and catching the robber.
Sheriff David Doak said the man knocked at the door of the victim's home in the 11200 block of Ohio 88 around 3:30 p.m. When the woman answered, he shoved her aside, knocking her to the floor.
He stole money from the woman's purse and ran away.
The woman was taken to a local hospital, where it was determined her hip had been broken in the attack.
Doak asks anyone with information on the incident to contact the Portage County Sheriff's Office at 330-296-5100.

Repentant Coupeville home invader sentenced to prison
A senseless and aborted home invasion robbery of an elderly Coupeville woman cost Quintin Raines five years of his life.
Raines, a 24-year-old Coupeville resident, apologized profusely during his sentencing hearing in Island County Superior Court Wednesday afternoon, but was at a loss to explain why he committed the serious crime.
"This was nothing more than a huge mistake," he said. "A ridiculously terrible decision."
A jury found Raines, a husband and father of two young children, guilty of first-degree burglary and attempted robbery in the first degree following a three-day trial last week. The jury also found two aggravating factors that allow the judge to increase the sentence beyond the standard range. The factors were that the victim was particularly vulnerable and that the burglary took place while the resident was home.
On Wednesday, Judge Vickie Churchill sentenced Raines to five years in prison, which was months beyond the standard range but not as long as the deputy prosecutor recommended.
"You are a man that goes to church and knows right from wrong," Churchill said.
The victim in the case, Wilma Boyden, told the court how the frightening crime robbed her of her sense of security. She and her husband installed a security camera at their home and she's now too afraid to walk on the beach alone.
"I feel vulnerable and violated. I don't know if I will ever heal," she said.
Boyden had some pointed words for Raines.
"It was a really stupid choice for you," she said. "I think you're arrogant and I think you're manipulative."
Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme explained that Boyden met Raines, who owned a car detail business, at a trade show in Coupeville in the fall of 2007. She wanted to help him, so she hired him to detail her car at her home.
Then last March, Raines put blue knee-high pantyhose over his head, armed himself with a pellet gun and pushed his way into Boyden's home while she was alone. He demanded money from the frail woman.
Boyden questioned Raines about why he was committed the crime. She told him, "I'm sick and this is sick," which apparently got to him. He left without taking any money.
When deputies arrested him, he quickly confessed in detail and helped them gather evidence against him.
During the trial, Raines' attorney, Darrin Hall of Coupeville, argued that Raines was not guilty because of diminished capacity, which means he lacked the requisite intent to commit the crimes. A psychiatrist testified that Raines suffered from post traumatic stress disorder and was in a dissociative state due to a number of childhood traumas, including abuse.
But Ohme put a psychiatrist from Western State Hospital on the stand. The expert testified that Raines was not in a dissociative state, which was partly evident from the planning that took place before the crime.
Ohme emphasized all the planning that Raines had to do. He said Raines came to the house the day before, but was surprised when the victim's husband answered the door. He gave an excuse and left, then returned the next day when Boyden was alone.
Raines' motive, Ohme said, was that he was badly in debt.
During sentencing, Ohme asked that Raines receive an eight-year sentence.
"He may not have taken any money, but he took something money can't buy," he said. "He took her sense of security, her trust in other people, her piece of mind."
Hall, however, argued for leniency. He pointed out that Raines has no criminal history beyond a very minor charge for driving with a suspended license. He said Raines is "not your typical criminal" and that nobody, not even the defendant himself, understands why he did it.
"He's a guy that made one bad decision in his life and it's going to cost him five years," Hall said after the hearing.
Raines' wife and friend also asked the judge for mercy. They both said the crime was completely out of character for the young man.
"We have two children who absolutely adore him," his wife said. "He's a great father... I don't think he's a threat to society in any way."
Before handing out the sentence, Judge Churchill stressed that the crime was planned, not a spur-of-the-moment decision. She said there were a number of things that occurred on his way to commit the crime that should have stopped him.
"All those instances, that was God tapping you on the shoulder to stop," she said.

I have a bit of trouble with the sugar alcohols myself. Let's just say they can have a very quick laxative effect.
I've been looking into this as a possible alternative sweetner in (grain free) baked goods I make for my ds. Currently I use a blend of honey and stevia for most things, but I've been looking more into xylitol, as it can be found corn-free (made from birch bark?) and supposedly doesn't spike insulin levels? (I honestly don't know enough about it though!) My ds is corn sensitive, so something corn based, like erythritol will not work for us.
What are your thoughts on xylitol? I like using honey b/c it's been time tested, and b/c stevia is from an herb, I really feel like it's 'safe' in some ways...
Is xylitol healthy/not harmful in your opinion? And if you do use it, how do you typically use it? Any info you have to share, including links, is welcome and greatly appreciated!
I have a bit of trouble with the sugar alcohols myself. Let's just say they can have a very quick laxative effect.
David Getoff seems to like it, and I know he knows his stuff very well. Haven't done much research on it, but it's the sweetener used in my gum Spry.
I don't really bake, actually not at all, so Im not sure how it is in larger quantities although many seem to mention that it does have a laxative effect used in large quantities. Thats the only negative I've heard so far.
In Pursuit of Healthiness, Only to Achieve Happiness!: www.livingnotsurviving.com
Probably everything you need to know.
It's used in Spry because it's actually good for your teeth, it's also found in toothpaste by the same name. I forget what exactly it does, but I believe it cleans up bacteria. Some people have experienced a laxative effect, but you need to ingest quite a bit to feel it. I've never had that feeling, but I have gotten it from sorbitol. It works just fine with baking, just like sugar although you can make it into a powder so it dissolves better.

As police launch a fresh investigation into claims of phone-hacking at the News of the World, a Conservative MP tells Channel 4 News it raises serious questions about the Met's handling of the case.
Police say they have received "significant new information" about the phone-hacking scandal and have launched a fresh investigation.
Senior officers said the complex inquiry is now being led by Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers at the specialist crime directorate.
It has been moved from the Met's counter-terrorism command. A police spokesman said the change was necessary because of the terror workload and a continuing "severe" level of threat.
Shortly after the announcement the News of the World revealed it had sacked one of its senior editors, Ian Edmonson.
A police spokesman confirmed: "The Met has today received significant new information relating to allegations of phone hacking at the News of the World in 2005/06. As a result, the Met is launching a new investigation to consider this material.
"This work will be carried out by the specialist crime directorate which has been investigating a related phone-hacking allegation since September 2010."
Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson quit his job as Downing Street communications chief on Friday saying "when the spokesman needs a spokesman" it is time to go.
Mr Coulson issued a statement confirming his resignation in which he reiterated his innocence at the allegations made against him.

'Serious questions'
The latest developments have prompted criticism of the Met's handling of the case.
Conservative MP John Whittingdale, who chairs the Commons Culture committee which has investigated Mr Coulson, told Channel 4 News that police had "serious questions" to answer.
"This has all come about on the basis of information which was available to police five years ago so it begs the question why they never did anything with it.
He continued: "These are matters which should have been resolved at the time. It's not the fault of the News of the World.
"I would say this raises very serious questions about thoroughness and attitudes of the Met police at the time."

Carolyn Hoover Sung Becomes Network Division Chief
Carolyn Hoover Sung, a member of the Library of Congress staff since 1965, has been appointed chief of the Network Division, National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), effective November 13. She holds one of the top three positions in the NLS organizational structure, reporting directly to NLS Director Frank Kurt Cylke.
The Network Division is responsible for coordinating operations with the 143 cooperating libraries in the NLS network, working with consumers, providing reference services to patrons and the general public, as well as offering direct service to citizens living abroad and music patrons throughout the country. It also has oversight of the multistate centers in Cincinnati and Salt Lake City, and inventory management activities in Washington.
Network Division staff work closely with the Materials Development Division, which is responsible for selection, production, and distribution of special-format books and magazines; cataloging; design and production of playback machines and related materials; and quality control of all materials produced. The chiefs of these two divisions serve on management- review teams for all NLS activities.
Ms. Sung has served as executive officer in the Office of the Associate Librarian for Constituent Services since 1989, with more than 1,350 staff members and a budget of more than $110 million. That service unit, whose functions have recently been reorganized into other areas of the Library of Congress structure, included NLS and other divisions and activities directly affecting the general public. Most of Carolyn Sung's career has been devoted to public-service activities. "I am committed to customer service and customer satisfaction," she says.
Her other positions within the Library have included executive officer, Research Services, from 1981-1989, with a detail as acting director for preservation and national preservation program officer, Research Services, in 1987-1988.
Ms. Sung was selected for the Library's Special Recruit Program (now the Intern Program) in 1970. In 1971 she was promoted to head of the Reference and Reader Service Section in the Manuscript Division. In 1977 she became assistant chief for bibliographic services in the Photoduplication Service.
Ms. Sung has a B.A. from Winthrop College in Rock Hill, South Carolina; an MA from the University of Maryland; and a Ph.D. from George Washington University. She is a certified archivist and a member of a number of professional groups.

Cloquet, MN (NNCNOW.com) - A 64-year-old Cloquet man is in police custody for allegedly firing a gun inside his home during a domestic dispute.
Cloquet Police responded to the home along Kelly Avenue just after 10:30 p.m. Monday.
A woman told police her husband was drunk and had fired two shots from a revolver. Police say she locked herself in a bedroom but was able to get out of the house when police arrived.
She told authorities her husband hid the gun.
Police talked to the man over the phone and were able to get him to come out of the house without further incident.
They found the gun on the roof of the home.
The suspect is being held at the Carlton County jail awaiting charges.

In May, about 30 gun rights advocates approached the California state capitol with handguns and pistols in protest of new state legislation to ban the open carry of firearms in the state. Without resistance from law enforcement, the protesters entered the statehouse, where they argued that the proposed legislation infringed on their Second Amendment rights.
Despite the protest, the state legislature approved the restrictions and the bill was signed into the law by California's governor.

The complete archive of Kyle Whitmire's previous columns
If such new restrictions on gun ownership seem strange in the face of opposition by the NRA and other gun rights advocates, you're on to something. Those restrictions aren't new. The law, known as the Mulford Act, was passed in 1967.
The governor who signed the bill?
Ronald Reagan.
And the protesters at the statehouse?
They weren't with the NRA. They were the Black Panthers.
The story of the origins of open carry restrictions in America is a favorite now among gun control advocates because it turns political and social roles on their heads like a story from some Bizarro parallel universe where up is down, right is wrong and ... well ... where white is black.
It also gets at the heart of something that's been knocking around in my head this week: Does the Second Amendment only apply to white people? And how would the public react if the folks on the street in Ferguson began acting more like the militia who turned out in support for Cliven Bundy, who had broken the law by refusing to pay federal grazing fees in Nevada?
Last week, Keith Boykin, a former White House staffer and now political commentator, asked the question in a column for the Huffington Post.
After another police shooting, Boykin tried to determine whether the deceased black man had been armed. And then he asked himself, what does it matter? Ostensibly, African-Americans have gun rights, too. Or do they?
Let me make it clear, I don't want to see any weapons on the streets of Ferguson, in the hands of police or protesters, and (let me underline this) I think protesters there arming themselves would be inconceivably stupid, only begging for a much greater tragedy.
Now, with that out of the way, let's play with the idea as a thought experiment.
Why is it that open carry advocates can protest by carrying a weapon in a public place, but protesters in Ferguson have to hold their hands in the air to keep from getting shot?
In general, open-carry advocates have done more to hurt the cause of gun rights than to help it. When someone shows up to vote wearing a sidearm or when a group of guys carrying assault rifles drop into Chipotle for a burrito, my reaction has been mostly to roll my eyes. These so-called demonstrations show only a lack of empathy for other people -- folks who might be alarmed at someone walking into a restaurant or grocery store wielding a weapon.
But what would the reaction be – mine, everyone else's – if those folks had been black?
What if the protesters in Ferguson, instead of carrying signs, carried weapons?
What if, when we elect our next white president, African-Americans began stocking ammunition and went on the same kind of gun store shopping sprees we saw after President Obama moved into the White House?
Is suspect the reaction would be very different.
But then again, I don't have to speculate much. It already happened once, in 1967.

A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Anticholinergic/antispasmodic agents inhibit the action of acetylcholine. They stop the transmission of parasympathetic nerve impulses therefore lessen the spasms of smooth muscle, such as in the gastrointestinal tract and in the bladder. They are used to treat spasms or conditions with disturbances in the bladder or gastrointestinal motility.

9. "Bad Santa" (Terry Zwigoff, 2003)
I wasn't an immediate admirer of Terry Zwigoff's irreverent take on the season beyond the usual and expected guffaws that Billy Bob Thornton's work induces. But over the years, I find myself itching to see it again this time of year, so I finally bought a copy a while back rather than blow a couple of bucks on a rental each time out. We need more films like this, really, efforts so unapologetic and brazen that don't even seem to be trying, unlike other films of the sort. It's genuine in its "fuck it all" candor, and really, this time of year, don't we all eventually find ourselves in a "fuck it all" frame of mind eventually?

Coordinators of the Wee-Chi-Tah BMX track are looking for volunteers who aren't afraid to get dirty this weekend.
The BMX track in Wichita Falls is nearly finished. Coordinators say crews need to apply a substance to the track to make it water repellent.
However, before that happens, they need volunteers this weekend to help smooth the dirt track. If you'd like to volunteer simply show up at the track, which is behind Riverside Cycling Center on Wichita Street.
Work hours are Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. until late afternoon. And coordinators say dress appropriately and bring sunblock.

Hunterdon is third in America's 50 Healthiest Counties for Kids 2014-15, a U.S. News magazine set of rankings shows.
Somerset County came in eighth, followed by Morris ninth and Bergen, 10th. Monmouth County was the only other in New Jersey to make the list, at 25.
The rankings were developed with the help of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, which evaluates health data for the U.S. population as part of its County Health Rankings and Roadmaps program, a collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The same program earlier this year ranked Hunterdon as the county which is home to New Jersey's healthiest people. Those ratings compared counties on 29 factors that impact health, including smoking, high school graduation rates, unemployment, physical inactivity and access to healthy foods.
To come up with the Kids list, the researchers considered infant deaths, number of low birth-weight babies, deaths from injuries, teen births and number of children in poverty. The percentage of kids without health insurance, air quality, rates of adult smoking and adult obesity, and access to physicians and exercise opportunities also were taken into account.
Hunterdon with 92.4 points came in after first-place Marin County, Calif., with a perfect score of 100 and Norfolk County, Mass., with 93.1
Just 7.1 percent of Hunterdon babies had a low birth weight (less than 5.5 pounds) compared with the national median of 8.1 percent. And the infant death rate was only 2.6 per 100,000 babies, compared with the median of 7.1.
Teen birth rate of 4 per 1,000 was the lowest in the country and just a tenth of the median 44. Only 5 percent of Hunterdon's children were poor, compared with the national median 24 percent, and the injury death rate for Hunterdon residents through age 19 was 9 per 100,000 compared with the national average of 20.
Among the other high-scoring Garden State counties, Somerset and Morris both had scores of 89.7 while Bergen was a tad lower at 89.5. Monmouth County came in at 85.7.

A new research project launched by the Centre for Arctic Resource Development wants to study ice to improve offshore operating expertise in harsh environments.
The project will study what's called ice rubble.
"It's essentially broken pieces of ice created when a sheet (of ice) presses up against something else," said David Murrin, executive director of the Centre for Arctic Resource Development (CARD).
"These things can grow very big," he added.
When an ice sheet presses against another ice sheet or some other obstacle, pieces naturally break off. But those pieces fuse together.
"They grow above and below the waterline. When they grow very, very big below the waterline, that's when they start getting in the way of some other infrastructure and stuff like that," Murrin said.
Ice rubble isn't quite like what is offshore of Newfoundland. Icebergs have a portion above and below the waterline, and there's certainly plenty of pack ice around, but ice rubble is more of a factor further north.
CARD is planning ahead with this project and trying to learn about the mechanics of ice rubble so information is available for engineers when they build infrastructure, Murrin said.
"By understanding how ice rubble behaves as a material, engineers can design structures that operate safely and efficiently where ice rubble exists in the Arctic and other ice-prone regions."
To study the mechanics of it, researchers will take measurements of how strong, brittle, elastic, etc. the ice rubble is. CARD hopes to provide that basic understanding to engineers who will work on designs in the future.
The project will employ 16 people, including researchers, technicians and students, Murrin said.
"These students will really have a rare opportunity to be involved in a project of this scale."
He added that it will help advance the next generation of Arctic experts building on the research expertise the province has to offer.
CARD is part of the C-CORE complex on Memorial University's St. John's campus.

Faithful friends will gather near when you serve these cheesy puffs, which are easy and sooooo delicious.
By MARCELLE BIENVENU
If you're looking for something new and different to serve during the holidays, gougeres just may be your answer.
Gougeres are fluffy, golden pastries spiked with Gruyere cheese, a favorite hors d'oeuvre in the Burgundy (Bourgogne) region of France. I know this not from visiting the area but from studying its wines -- aristocratic whites and mellow reds -- and gastronomy -- think beef bourguignon and mustard from Dijon. I read somewhere that gougeres are often served with Burgundy wines to complement, rather than compete with, the wines.
When my friend, Julie Regard, made a batch of these years ago to serve before one of her wonderful dinners, I was enthralled with these aromatic, delicious light-as-a-cloud cheese puffs. Thus began my collection of gougeres (pronounced goo-ZHAIR) recipes.
The secret to these savory delights is the pate à choux (or choux) pastry dough, which contains butter, milk, flour and eggs. The high moisture content creates steam during the cooking, thus puffing out the pastry. This type of pastry is also used to make cream puffs, profiteroles, croquembouches and eclairs.
I have two basic recipes with which you can experiment. You can make either of these classics, which contain either grated or small diced Gruyere cheese, or you may choose to add such things as a tablespoon or two of chopped fresh herbs, shredded smoked salmon and chopped fresh dill, or crumbled crisp bacon or ham. Hey, try using crumbled blue cheese with a good amount of freshly ground black pepper for a jolt! Or, maybe chopped garlic? You can certainly serve them accompanied by rich, smooth pate or thinly sliced baked ham.
I find gougeres are best made right before serving, but they can be reheated in the oven if need be, or serve them at room temperature.
Ju-Ju's gougeres
Makes 10 to 12 servings
1 cup water
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
6 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons salt
Hot sauce to taste
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly butter a sheet pan or cookie sheet.
Combine the water and the butter in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the flour and beat with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball and comes off the sides of the pot. Turn off the heat. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously, until blended. Add the cheese, Dijon, dry mustard, salt, and hot sauce. Stir to blend.
Working quickly, drop the batter by large spoonfuls into a circle, about nine inches in diameter, onto the prepared sheet pan. Repeat and make a second layer on top of the first circle. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake another 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake until puffed and lightly brown. Poke holes in the dough to let the steam escape, then serve hot.
. . . . . . .
If you want to flavor gougeres further, add to the batter a tablespoon or so of chopped fresh herbs, some chopped garlic, crumbled blue cheese with ground black pepper, shredded smoked salmon and chopped fresh dill, or crumbled crisp bacon or ham.
Burgundy gougeres
Makes about 50 pastries
1 ½ cups water
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
5 large eggs
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
Pinch nutmeg
Cayenne pepper to taste
1 ½ cups finely chopped Gruyere cheese
Flavor options (suggested above, if using)
3 tablespoons milk
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two 15-by-12-inch baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the water and butter in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil. When the butter is completely melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually stir in the flour until the mixture is smooth.
Return the pan to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the batter is quite thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the pan from the heat again, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the mustard and season with salt, white pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Fold in the Gruyere and any of the flavor suggestions you wish.
Drop the batter by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Brush the top of each with a little milk and dust lightly with the parmesan.
Bake until the pastries are puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
. . . . . . .
Another suggestion is to use the choux pastry to make
savory eclairs . Use either one of the basic recipes from above, but rather than dropping the batter onto baking sheets, put the pastry in a pastry bag fitted with a plain tube tip and force the pastry out into finger-size eclairs onto parchment-lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Brush them with a little milk and bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake until puffed and golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
Remove the pastries from the oven and turn off the oven. With a small, sharp knife, make a small slit in the pastries and return them to the oven with the door slightly ajar for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a baking rack to cool completely.
Fill the eclairs with
duxelles or ham mousse .
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 ½ pounds white button mushrooms, stemmed, wiped clean and finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Heat the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they cook down and darken. Sprinkle with the flour and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
Ham mousse
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons gelatin softened in 1 cup warm chicken broth
1 pound cooked ham, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons dry sherry
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 ½ cups whipping cream
Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to blend. When the mixture just begins to bubble, add the gelatin mixture. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat.
Combine the mixture, ham, sherry and pepper in a food processor or electric blender and process until smooth. Refrigerate until well chilled.
Whip the cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually fold in small amounts of the cold ham mousse until all is used. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Orioles vs. Blue Jays – Arrieta optioned
*In case you missed it earlier, the Orioles optioned starter Jake Arrieta to Triple-A Norfolk and have recalled right-handed reliever Alex Burnett –to help bolster the bullpen — in his place. Manager Buck Showalter stressed that Arrieta was only sent down because they need bullpen help, although Arrieta's partly to blame given that he's been unable to go deep into the game this year.
The Orioles are optimistic the incredibly talented Arrieta will figure it out down below and be back up again soon. The issue isn't physical or mechanical and it's really just controlling his emotions and not letting high-anxiety situations become just that. Arrieta's main problem has been command — he's been unhittable one inning and walking two or three guys the next– which has been frustrating for everyone involved. Right now, there's no talk of moving him to the bullpen and he will continue to start for Triple-A.
In the meantime, Burnett has had three days off and will give the Orioles some length, if needed, for the next few days. The team needs a starter for Wednesday –due to Friday's rainout– and they won't start anyone in the rotation up here on short rest. It's also unlikely they use a reliever to make a spot start, which means it's probable someone will be promoted from Triple-A Norfolk. Arrieta wouldn't be eligible within 10 days unless there's an injury situation and Jair Jurrjens just pitched yesterday which eliminates him. Freddy Garcia is slated to pitch Tuesday for Norfolk –who is off today– and Zach Britton is lined up to start Wednesday and both could be options to pitch for the Orioles.

Faith schools minus the faith?
The conclusions of a new report on faith schools are confused and catastrophic.
Amid all the current doom and gloom, do you fancy some light relief? If so, and you have access to a computer, may I recommend that you read the Runnymede Trust's recent report entitled Right to divide? Faith Schools and Community Cohesion?
On the face of it, this document is no joke. Among its conclusions is the warning that current provision for learning about religion "is too often poor in schools without a religious character". Well, I'll say Amen to that.
Whether there needs to be "a common RE National Curriculum" is a moot point. I doubt that experts could agree on the content of such a curriculum, but I am all in favour of something about ethics and "the diversity of faith traditions" being taught in our school systems.
Then we are told by the Runnymede cognoscenti that children attending faith schools "should have a greater say in how they are educated".
Apparently, this means that "appropriate democratic dialogue" should take place in faith schools, but what this might be is not spelt out. Or rather — and I want to be scrupulously fair here — it is spelt out, but in the form of wild, unsubstantiated assertions characteristic of a university student heading for an outright fail.
"Giving young people appropriate opportunities to influence the shape of their educational experience" (to quote from the report) sounds to me very much like telling them that they can negotiate their own curriculum, a policy that must conflict with the very notion of a National Curriculum.
Then we are told that something must be done to address the alleged "disproportionately small number of young people at the lowest end of the socio-economic scale" who are said to attend faith schools.
The only piece of evidence offered for this contention relates to the proportions of children attending faith schools who are in receipt of free school meals. This has never struck me as an objective measure of deprivation (as a child I was eligible for subsidised school meals but, in cultural terms, my home was anything but disadvantaged). Be that as it may, the evidence presented by the Runnymede experts is without statistical significance. But at least they have had the honesty to admit that, in 2005, "faith schools outperformed non-faith schools in every subject for 11-year-olds in receipt of free school meals". And I can testify from my own observations that some Jewish faith schools, especially those catering for the needs of the Charedim, recruit almost exclusively from economically disadvantaged families.
Where (I wondered as I ploughed on through the report) is all this leading? Faith schools, whether taxpayer-funded or not, do a good job on the whole. There are, it is true, some seriously underperforming faith schools, including some privately funded Jewish schools, but at the other end of the scale are many more faith schools that are outstanding by any yardstick.
The fact that they are outstanding has everything to do with the religious ethos that underpins them. So why all the fuss? I turned back to the executive summary and found out. Retain faith schools, Runnymede urges, but compel them to "end selection on the basis of faith".
So what's really going on here?
Two sets of pressures have been brought to bear upon the Runnymede Trust, forcing it to commission a report that is full of contradictions and confusions. The first — though I realise one mustn't say this too loudly — stems from a genuine concern with what might be taught in Muslim schools.
The second stems from those who peddle the politics of envy: if everyone can't go to these excellent faith schools, then no one should go, and if such a ban is unrealistic then the next best thing is, while permitting their survival, to prohibit them from propagating the faiths they profess.
In relation to Jewish schools, the report reflects a further inherent weakness, because, as far as I can tell, the only Jewish denominational body consulted was the Movement for Reform Judaism. The Board of Deputies was asked for its views but of course the Board is not a denominational body, has no experience of running faith schools, and has no authority to speak on behalf of those who do. The failure to consult the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations (a failure confirmed to me by the Union) is unforgiveable.
In short — and this is not funny at all — the report is a disgrace to the good name of the Runnymede Trust. It needs to be properly researched and completely rewritten.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Robenson Therezie has apparently found the perfect home in Auburn's defense.
While the Star safety appears to be setting into his new digs, some are still trying to find the right spot in Ellis Johnson's defense in the final practices of the spring, which has already featured several position switches.
JaViere Mitchell is one of the key figures still trying to find the right fit, and a recent injury is not helping his progress.
Therezie, a cornerback by name only, moved to the safety hybrid position in Johnson's 4-2-5 defense earlier this week. He's mostly working with the second-team unit behind Justin Garrett but it appears the move will stick through the summer and into the fall.
The 5-foot-9, 202-pound Miami native looks more comfortable near the line of scrimmage, Johnson says, as a blitzer and speed rusher in the scheme, which is all about zone coverages and speedy linebackers. He also has the frame and weight Johnson looks for in a hybrid safety.
"We move him up to Star and all of a sudden we're blitzing him off the edge and he's covering underneath instead of deep zones," Johnson said. "The things you see with your eyes, the techniques, the reads and reactions, are different. He's a speed player. He's a contact player. You like to have a 6-1, 215-pound Star but right now he fits it perfect and I've really been tickled to death with his progress."
Therezie's move to Star arrived on the heels of some injury news earlier this week, when Mitchell suffered a concussion in the Tigers' scrimmage Saturday and played only 26 snaps, Johnson said.
Mitchell moved to Will linebacker, one of the two inside linebackers in the scheme that rarely play outside the tackle box. The 6-foot-2, 211-pound redshirt freshman is not expected to play in the scrimmage Saturday but could be available for the A-Day scrimmage on April 20."You can sometimes tell when a player has five or six reps that this was the right move or we've got a work in progress," Johnson said. "It was obvious when he moved from Star to inside at the Will 'backer it was the right move. He was reacting to things quicker, seemed a lot more comfortable and at home there getting lined up and reacting to plays. I think it was something we needed to do because the hybrid position was one we had to find an answer."
The answer at Star safety appears to be Justin Garrett, whose performances this spring have impressed coaches and players alike -- even when they're not prompted to talk about the junior.
Johnson has installed a dime package and another with the defense sliding to three linemen in an effort to help the offense and give coach Gus Malzahn and his quarterbacks a different look in live situations. Auburn is nowhere close to installing its entire playbook, especially with the sub packages, Johnson said, but the Tigers sure do love having two guys to count on at safety and linebacker.
"Having a guy like Garrett and Therezie, I mean, those two guys can run," Johnson said. "They're as quick and as fast any player I've had at hybrid and they're both physical guys. They like contact. Cover skills are good. We're going to continue to make them better. But those two guys, I think, are really going to help us in our third-down package."

LOXLEY -- Davis Riley and Aliea Clark made big jumps with low scores in Wednesday's second round of the AJGA at Steelwood to take over the lead of their respective divisions.
Riley used a 7-under-par 65, the best score of the day, to move from a tie for 12th place to the top of the boys division at 3-under 141.
Clark used a 5-under 67 to move from a tie for eighth to lead the girls division by a shot at 1-over 145.
The final round of the 54-hole event begins today at 7:30 a.m.
Riley was 4 under at the turn Wednesday and he shaved another three shots off par on the back nine, but he didn't start the day with the same sizzle with which he finished.
"I was 1 over after two," the Hattiesburg junior said. "Then I kind of jump-started the round by making three birdies in a row on 3, 4 and 5 and backed that up with an eagle on 9. I just kind of cruised in from there.
"I just said to take one shot at a time, play every shot, don't think forward or behind, just go on."
Riley credited a solid iron game and good putting for his success on Wednesday.
"I hit a lot of approach shots close," he said. "I drained a couple of key 10- or 12-footers."
Brandon Pierce (70 on Wednesday) is two shots back at 1 under. Mobile's Sheldon Statkewicz (72) and Tuscaloosa's Tyler Hitchner (70) are tied at even par, and Fairhope's Alex Green (70) is at 3 over.
First-round leader Statkewicz said he was disappointed with his round.
"I had five birdies, but I doubled 17," he said. "It could have been better. I'm just grateful still. I'm in perfect position. I can go out there and get it tomorrow. I really want it. ... I'm playing really good, playing better than I ever have in my life right now. This is it."
Other Mobile-area golfers include Steven Setterstrom (72) at 5 over, Vince Cave (79) at 15 over, Luke Miller (76) at 17 over and Austin Turner (80) at 18 over.
Clark's extra work on her irons after Tuesday's round paid off. She went to Craft Farms for another nine holes to try and correct the alignment issues that had plagued her.
"(Tuesday) I shot 78 and I wasn't too happy with that because I didn't play badly -- I was hitting good shots, I was just having trouble aiming. I missed a lot of greens and didn't make my putts," the Carlsbad, Calif., resident said.
"After the round, I went to the beach and then I went to Craft Farms and played nine holes just working on my alignment. (Wednesday), instead of having 45-foot birdie putts, I had five- and six-foot putts and my putter just worked. I didn't add up how many putts I had but it was less than 20. Seriously, it was insane. I made everything. That had to be part luck and part God.
"The conditions were good today and I honestly wasn't doing anything different, I just changed the way I was lining up my shots."
Clark is one shot ahead of Dallas' Grace Choi (72). First-round leader Cheyenne Knight (77) of The Woodlands, Texas, Anna Sophia Bohmer (76) of Cali, Columbia, and Shawn Rennegarbe (72) of Addieville, Ill., are tied for third at 4 over.
Point Clear's Cynthia Navis (73) is one of three players at 7 over and Daphne's Caroline Beebe (76) is tied for 12th at 12 over.

IOWA CITY - A sell-out crowd will witness the Iowa men's basketball contest against No. 5 Indiana on New Year's Eve.
It will be the first sold out game of the year for the Hawkeyes, who will try win their seventh straight game for the first time since 2004. If they can do so, it will come against the highest scoring team in the nation as the Hoosiers average just more than 89 points per game.
"They recognize our opponent and their history and the fact that they are ranked fifth," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. "And they want to see great basketball.
The Hawkeyes are off to their best start since the 2004-05 season after going 11-2 in the non-conference season. Iowa also will take an undefeated home record into Monday's contest. The Hawkeyes have won 10 straight games at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, won 14 of their last 15 overall and defeated Indiana in the last four meetings in Iowa City.
"There's a lot of things that we have to pay attention to," McCaffery said. "If you look at last year's game here, it was completely different than the one that was played there. They are a big spurt team. You know, you are looking right at them and the next thing you know you're down 15 and it happens so quickly.
"And a lot of times because they are talented because they move the ball and they make 3s and they are very unselfish."
Fact Box
Indiana (11-1) at Iowa (11-2)
Monday, 3:05 p.m.
At Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa City
To beat Indiana, the Hawkeyes (11-2) will have to have one of their best defensive performances of the season. The Hoosiers have scored 90 or more points in five games this season and have topped the 100-point plateau twice. Their scoring margin also is tops in the nation as they are outscoring opponents by nearly 30 points per game.
"This team is going to make you guard them," McCaffery said. "If you don't guard them they are averaging 89. That's a big number. They averaged 80 last year, now they are averaging 89."
Indiana, which was the preseason No. 1 team before recently falling to Butler in overtime, features five guys in double figures. The Hoosiers' best player is Cody Zeller and he is averaging 16.4 points and a Big Ten best 8.1 rebounds, but Victor Oladipo and Christian Watford also give Hoosiers a stout frontcourt.
Oladipo averages 13.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, while Watford scores 13 points and hauls in 6.3 rebounds per contest.
The backcourt also is productive with Jordan Hulls scoring in double-figures. Hulls also averages four assists per game and buries 52.6 percent of his 3-pointers, which ranks fifth in the nation. Point guard Kevin Ferrell is second in the Big Ten in assists at 5.1 per game.
"Obviously, Ferrell has made a dramatic impact on that team and has taken a lot of pressure off everybody else," McCaffery said. "It has enabled Hulls to - he's just killing it from the 3. He's made 30 3s. He's playing at a high level and doesn't have to worry about handling the ball as much."
Will Sheehey also comes off the bench to average in double figures.
"I think the difference in their team this year is the play of Oladipo and Sheehey," McCaffery said. "They are playing like veterans now. They are not making the mistakes. They are really playing like elite players."
Indiana (11-1) leads the all-time series 95-74, but Iowa has controlled things of late. The Hawkeyes have won 11 of 16 and have taken seven of the last eight meetings in Iowa City. At Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa is 19-9 all-time against Indiana.
Roy Devyn Marble leads the Hawkeyes at nearly 16 points per game and brings down four rebounds. Aaron White is just behind him at 13.6 points and leads the Hawkeyes in rebounding at 6.5 per contest. Freshman point guard Mike Gesell scores nearly 10 points per game and is one of just nine freshman in the nation to average at least nine points, three rebounds and three assists.
"I think they all feel good about themselves," McCaffery said about his club. "They recognize who we are playing and they recognize the challenge before us. I think they feel good about themselves."
Iowa has not played a game in eight days but is 16-2 in the last three years when scoring at least 80 points. The Hawkeyes also are 21-0 in that same span when holding their opponents to less than 60.
Iowa should match up well Monday as both teams feature two 6-foot guards, a 6-foot-5 wing and a 7-footer.
"To be honest with you I'm not like that. I look at who we play and I just try to put a game plan that I think will work for us," McCaffery said. "They are going to start a traditional lineup, but they could go small. They have played Oladipo and Sheehey and Sheehey is the four, and they done that. So he's got a lot of options he can go to there. So, you know, we'll just lineup and play whatever they send out."
Tip-off is set for 3:05 p.m. Iowa has designated this contest its 'Blackout Carver' game and the Big Ten opener for both teams can be seen on ESPN2.

Q. I saw a new device on a website that says it can replace the traditional P-trap under a plumbing fixture. It has a flexible tube-like membrane that is supposed to stay closed when no water is flowing down the pipe. I'm skeptical this thing would work over the long haul. I also wonder how things like this get approved by code officials. What do you think about these mechanical plumbing products?
A. Boy, oh boy, you sure know how to stir the pot! You put your finger on a beef I have about plumbing devices and code officials. Let's open the discussion with the fact that I've been a master plumber for over 30 years.
I'm pretty certain I've seen the exact plumbing waste valve you're talking about. When I first got it, I immediately recoiled at the design. My years and years of dealing with sludge-encrusted drain lines screamed at me that this was a disaster waiting to happen.
Let's go quickly back in time to just after the American Civil War. Sometime between the war and the 1880s, the medical community came to a consensus about the connection between bacteria and diseases. Plumbing standards rapidly advanced and, believe it or not, plumbers back then were often more highly regarded than physicians when it came to protecting the health of the general public.
That said, you never want to underestimate what can happen to you or your family if a plumbing drain system malfunctions or if you have a polluted water supply system. Entire books have been devoted to these topics.Well over a century ago, it was quickly discovered you could completely stop vermin and bacteria from spreading into your home with a simple water seal under each plumbing fixture. They used to come in two styles: the S-trap and P-trap. They got the names because the shape of the drain pipes look like those letters in the English alphabet.
I have huge issues with mechanical plumbing drain and vent products that try to supplant the time-tested P-traps and traditional open vent lines that lead from fixtures up to the roof of your home. A mechanical device is one that has moving parts. Every mechanical device known to man has failed at one time or another. If you know of one that hasn't failed yet, just wait; it eventually will.
You don't want a mechanical trap under a fixture that will not close off properly. When the trap remains open, sewer gas or vermin can enter your home. What can cause a trap to stay open? If you've taken apart used P-traps and drain lines like I have, you'll quickly see biofilm, sludge, grease deposits, food chunks, gravel and so forth. These all can interfere with a mechanical membrane that's supposed to close tightly.
Then there's the occasional vermin in the drain line. You do realize that rats routinely patrol municipal sewers and think nothing of making a foray up your house building drain and then into a branch drain line. How long do you think it would take a rat to chew through a thin, flexible membrane only to stare you down at the sink stopper or basket strainer?
I've never sat in on meetings where building officials debate and discuss changes to the code. However, I have seen parts of the building code that make me shake my head. Some of the building code is not backed up with hard science. Apparently, many code officials have not seen as many old buildings I have; they tend to teach you that certain minimum standards must be always be adhered to.
You can't hope things are going to work. Hope is the emotion of last resort. You hope for something when you can't control the outcome. I can control the desired outcome in my plumbing system by using traditional P-traps and a real interconnected vent system that always supplies air to the pipes as water rushes down them.
The building code in your town is very possibly a hybrid version of a national model code. Building and plumbing codes can vary from state to state and city to city because local code officials can modify the model codes. I've also been told that some codes have provisions where a local inspector can approve an alternative material on his own. That's a very scary situation indeed.
Talk to any seasoned plumber and he'll tell you he's able to make a living because mechanical plumbing devices fail. Backflow preventer valves, regular valves of all types, pressure regulators, anything that has a moving part fails on a routine basis. Ask that same plumber about how well-designed and properly installed vent line systems work. I've never in my career had one fail. Never.

By Guest Blogger Diane Graham
I've been quite restless lately. And I've been unable to find joy in the things that I normally find the most joy in. This goes way beyond basic Blah-Blah's. As a matter of fact, I've been downright irritated. To the point of rage. Snip-snapping at every little thing. My kids (bless their hearts) might even say I've been a tyrant. Some might say I am depressed, but I would say they are wrong…in a nasty, defensive voice that should send me to the prayer closet for a few hours for my bad attitude. But I know I'm not depressed because I have absolutely not one thing to be depressed about.
Okay, maybe one thing. But it is my own fault and depressed is the wrong word to use. Angry would be the right word, and it changes the landscape of my whole life. Let me explain.
For most things I can multitask. But writing is not one of them. No music, no television, no dogs barking or cats meowing, and preferably no people awake. Writing is very similar to meditative prayer for me. God speaks to my very soul, giving me a peace that far surpasses what any words can describe. My own personal line of communication to the Father, the Son and the Spirit.
You would think I would take full advantage of this rare gift daily, but I am guilty of negligence. The reason I know this? Because the rage I feel bubbling just under the surface. This rage only comes to me when I have distanced myself from my life-support system. I go around gasping for air like a fish out of water and ask myself why, oh why am I suffocating? My skin is itchy, my bones are twisted, old battle scars ache and bile churns, waiting to spew forth acid on the first unsuspecting fool that looks at me wrong.
I hang my head in shame. I have failed once again. I am the fool. How can I make it through this nasty life on my own? I am the biggest jerk imaginable because I am surrounded by love in abundance. Yet, none of it matters if not for the one who calms the rage in me.
And there is rage. Sin screeches dense hate in the darkest places. Festering hot and infected. Gripping my joy and tossing it into the wasteland of hopelessness. Whispering convoluted promises of vanity and pride. All the while, my soul weeps for the light.
And so, after my 40 years of wandering the desert I return my eyes to the bright place where they belong. I beg for mercy and keep moving forward. What else can I do? I am so flawed, but for some reason HE loves me anyways. And still my own personal line of communication stays open and I breathe a sigh of relief as I feel HIS arms return, wrapped tightly around my soul. I hear HIS words now like a sweet kiss upon my cheek…Mine!
Proverbs 28:13 KJV
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
1 John 1:9 KJV
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I will worship the one who threw the stars to the night
I will worship the one who tells the sun to shine
I will worship You
I will worship You
My hands I lift to You
My voice I lift to You
My heart I lift to You
I will worship the one who calmed the raging sea
I will worship the one who hushed the rage in me
I will worship You
I will worship You
Prince of Peach, almighty God
Counselor, Holy One
Lion of Judah, Son of Man
Son of God, the great I Am
Resurrection and the life

Peace, love and God's will.
