The cancer stem cell hypothesis is an appealing concept to account for intratumoral heterogeneity and the observation that systemic metastasis and treatment failure are often associated with the survival of a small number of cancer cells. Whilst in vivo evidence forms the foundation of this concept, in vitro methods and reagents are attractive as they offer opportunities to perform experiments that are not possible in an animal model. While there is abundant evidence that existing cancer cell lines are not reliable models of tumor heterogeneity, recent advances based on well validated novel cancer cell lines established de novo in defined serum-free media are encouraging, particularly in the study of glioblastoma multiforme. In this chapter we wish to broadly outline the process of establishing, characterizing, and managing novel cancer cell lines in defined serum-free media, and discuss the limitations and potential opportunities that may arise from these model systems.

Date of Stay: July, 2013
Due to the 4th of July traffic and people heading home this park was packed. We arrived without reservations and was give a pull through for the night. Very friendly staff and a clean park. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Every time we head east from Idaho we try to work our trip so we can stay at this park. Very friendly staff and a very peaceful place to stay. Fun fishing in the lake and it seems that all of the camping folks here go out of their way to be friendly. We love this place and will stay again many times.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
My wife and I along with our 15 year old granddaughter have been traveling for 2 months and staying at RV parks through out the states. This is the best one we have been to. Not only were the owners great people, but also the permanent residents. Everyone made us feel like family. We will be traveling again next year and will put this place on our trip for several days. Need more RV places like this.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We had a family reunion here with 4 RV's. Weeds everywhere and no grass to speak of. The host kept telling everyone to stay off the grass. What grass? They have a sign up saying the gates close at ten and we would have to park outside the gate and walk to our camp. The state of Utah should be ashamed of this place. Next to the freeway with loud truck noise all night long along with the train that goes by a couple of time during the night. We will never stay here again. The ranger told us the reason the gates are closed at 10 was because their is a 10 PM quiet time. What about all of the freeway noise. What a joke.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
We stayed here while visiting the baseball hall of fame. The new owners were fantastic and even went to an Amish farm to get us some bread, cookies, and rolls. We would surely stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
Very nice KOA with a very friendly staff. Clean restrooms and showers and a very nice rec room. They serve breakfast and dinners and will even deliver them to your RV. We pulled in here during a storm and stayed for 2 days. Would use this KOA again with or without the storm

Gulfstar 50 vs Endeavour 52
My wife and I like the layout and price of Gulfstar 50''s. We want to cruise the Caribbean and the East Coast for 5 years. Is the 62hp Perkins engine adequate, or should we look for the optional 85hp Perkins for the Gulfstar 50? Cutter rigged ketch or cutter rigged sloop?
Is the Endeavour 52 as good a boat for this purpose? Wing keel,sloop rig,10 years newer, but costs more.
Gulfstar 50 vs Endeavour 52
What price range are you looking at thier is a real nice 53 I think it is here in New Orleans I looked at it the guy took gteat care of her. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested I think he was asking like $154K
Gulfstar 50 vs Endeavour 52
Your focusing on the engine makes me think you''re likely to be cruising the E Coast via the ICW. That would make me want to avoid wing keels. This is because when I inevitably went aground in the ICW, I''d want to not stick in the mud like an arrowhead and not be able to back
out. To respond to the rig question: Modern sail-handling systems make the old argument of many small sails being easier to handle somewhat mooted. The added weight and windage of a mizzen don''t help performance. The mizzen mast, its stays, shrouds and boom can be an inconvenience in the cockpit. Many mizzens serve as very expensive radar arches and/or radio masts. If you like to anchor out or hang on a mooring, however, a mizzen could be just the thing that keeps you riding nicely to the wind and prevents you yawing all over the place. A good night''s sleep?? Priceless. Check with sloop owners to see if they sail around at anchor or lie quietly, and you''ll see if you need the ketch or not.
Gulfstar 50 vs Endeavour 52
While I am not normally a fan of ketch rigs, in the case of the Gulftar 50, with its narrow beam, easily driven hull and limited stability (which is true of most narrow, shallow boats) the ketch rig actually turns out to be the better rig for this specific model. While neither boat is particularly well built (we''ve had two Endeavous in our family and the build quality was worse than mediocre on both), the Gulfstar 50 has a strong reputation amoungst those whom I know who own one, including a particularly offshore experienced couple who traded out of a Cabo Rico to the Gulfstar 50 and have nothing but praise for the Gulfstar (Albeit after going through a major refit and build out).
this may be too late but we used to own one of the two Endevour 52's that were built and know the boat inside out.
Howitzer23, I am a current owner of an E52 in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'd love to know what you do! Were there only 2 or so built?
I sent you a PM. :)
Re: Gulfstar 50 vs Endeavour 52
There were more than 2 E52s built. I'm not sure the number but here at the Endeavour Owners Forum we have records of 4 E52s and the hull numbers appear to indicate that there "may have" been as many as 34 built. Having said that I'm also aware that manufacturers have been known to manipulate hull numbers to give the appearance of more being built/sold but I'm not aware of that with Endeavour.
Endeavour Sailboat Owners Forum
Re: Gulfstar 50 vs Endeavour 52
Checking the hull numbers in our database which are submitted by owners, the one listed as hull 34 cannot be trusted. It would be safer to say that there may have been as many as "9" E52s built.

I understand W3 667 has been moved to Newport Workshops for inclusion in the filming of the Stephen Spielberg television mini-series "Pacific".
Perhaps this means it is no longer possible to have historic Melbourne trams filmed on the street? I remember taking photos of L104 and L106 outside Flinders Street station when they were used in the filming of the "Squizzy Taylor" move in the 1980s (this has been discussed previously on TDU).
I also understand a former MMTB "austerity" (wartime) bus is also being used in the filming.
There was an item on 3AW last week about the filming of the "Pacific" mini-series and the high prices being charged for both access to facilities and for "professional" advice about Melbourne in the 1940s. I do hope some of this money is flowing into the transport preservation movement.

We're off once more to attend the Camberwell fair. It promises to be a decent weekend, so if you're in the neighbourhood on Sunday, by all means drop by and say hello. As this is the last fair we'll be attending in Melbourne until March 2008, this might be your last chance to snare some goodies - and goodies we have! Piles of trade paperbacks, cheapo stuff and the prize of the litter - a run of Daredevil from issue #25 through to #225 at prices starting at a measly $1. And when I say complete, I mean complete, and the bulk of the issues are in near mint condition!
After this fair we're taking an extended break - no more fairs here or in Melbourne but we'll be going to at least one more show, the only thing is, if all goes well, it won't be in Australia. More details as they come to hand. In the meantime see you at Camberwell!


text: no need to, I'm very comfortable. It's only those that feel the need to push how 'baller' they are on people that scream I wish I had more. Because honestly, I could care less how you live you seem comfortable as well as I, so just enjoy it and relax....go hump your friend that has the 2000hp Z06.......and when you say bitches you don't mean

"It's not hippy music," the girl behind me told her obviously ill-informed boyfriend at Terminal 5 last night. And ill-informed he was, because "hippy" ought to be the furthest thing from your mind when you think of Ernest Greene's Washed Out. What he could have said was, "I think I'm in The Secret Garden," because Terminal 5 was like something out of a fairytale for Washed Out's biggest headlining show yet. As Greene himself said, it was just four years ago when he played his first show in New York City's Santos Party House, which caps at 500 people, and he retained that humility throughout the nearly sold-out Terminal 5 show.
In the eco-friendly world of today, rugs simply don't cut it anymore as stage decoration. It's out with the old, and in with the grass. Washed Out transformed their stage with flowery lights draped across the ceiling, floral arrangements stretching across the stage, and a giant mat of plastic green grass that I couldn't stop myself from petting. If the stage decor didn't make you feel one with nature, Washed Out's hazy, tropical music undoubtably did. Their set opened with oldies like Belong and Life of Leisure's Get Up. But rather than just reminiscing on past albums, Washed Out breathed new life into these fan favorites by reworking them onstage.
With each passing track and a Small Black cover (Despicable Dogs), the crowd just couldn't get enough. Remaining a passive bystander isn't an option when Washed Out perform because the energy the band has onstage is addictive and long-lasting. Greene sounded as pristine as he does on recordings, but in a live setting, backed by his stellar live band, things get a little more explosive. Whether Greene was loping across the stage riling up his adoring audience or head-banging to the mind-numbing melodies his band was creating, he wore an effortlessly happy expression.
When their set was over and the band left the stage, the crowd cheered for Washed Out's immediate return and encore. One by one, each member returned and they closed the night with Eyes Be Closed. Everyone in the venue was bewitched by a sputtering light show, and as the song came to a close Greene switched spots with his guitarist who stood center stage, playing a solo that faded to total darkness. How fitting.
While this show was Washed Out's biggest headlining show to date, it was a pretty momentous occasion for opener, HAERTS, too. The gravity of their biggest crowd yet did not get the best of this year-old band. With the onstage room for decorations quite expansive compared to their last show at Bowery Ballroom, the New York band looked at home as they played to the flickering lights that matched the pace of their set. Wings had the crowd swaying along to Nini Fabi's sweet saccharine vocals and ultimately wishing HAERTS were playing a little bit longer.

2005 Catalytic Converter problems
Just bought a 2005 Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 with 61000 from a dealer AS IS. By Connecticut state law it has to pass emissions before it can be sold. While going through emissions a check engine light came on, make a long story short. It took them 5 days and 400 miles of drive testing to come to the conclusion, to replace the cat and all the cat sensors. I received the jeep finally, and on the way home the check engine light came on a half hour after driving. I haven't given up yet that this can be fixed, but my faith is being tested. Dealer said to bring it back next week, the work is under warranty. In case your wondering, they installed a after market cat. Any one else lose an emission system after so short a mileage.
Re: 2005 Catalytic Converter problems
you have an 8yr 80k mile extended emissions warranty that should have got you a free OEM mopar Y pipe assembly. I dont know why they would have put aftermarket cats on there...
If you give me the last 9 of your vin, your approx milage, and the first 4 letters of your last name I can verify you have the federal extended emissions warranty. I really hope they didnt charge you for all those repairs!
Re: 2005 Catalytic Converter problems

"saw" Cake
The skull and saw blade are three seperate pieces of solid white chocolate that were glued together with more white chocolate and shaded with Luster Dust. The eyes were drilled out with a power drill to place the small LED lights. The black roses are also white chocolate. To make the blood, we used corn syrup colored with petal dust. The spider web was piped using royal icing drop strings. Unfortunately a childs finger found the web before i was able to get the pictures taken; parts of the web are broken.

Steven Landsburg has a column up at Slate that allows me to reiterate a couple of points.
In this whole world, there is nobody more generous than the miser—the man who could deplete the world's resources but chooses not to. The only difference between miserliness and philanthropy is that the philanthropist serves a favored few while the miser spreads his largess far and wide.
If you build a house and refuse to buy a house, the rest of the world is one house richer. If you earn a dollar and refuse to spend a dollar, the rest of the world is one dollar richer—because you produced a dollar's worth of goods and didn't consume them.
Who exactly gets those goods? That depends on how you save. Put a dollar in the bank and you'll bid down the interest rate by just enough so someone somewhere can afford an extra dollar's worth of vacation or home improvement. Put a dollar in your mattress and (by effectively reducing the money supply) you'll drive down prices by just enough so someone somewhere can have an extra dollar's worth of coffee with his dinner.
So, I know Steve's first paragraph was designed more for rhetorical impact than accuracy and that he is fighting the notion that misers hurt the world more than heavy consumers.
However, because this is going to be a part of general thesis I want to draw out, the miser is not as generous as the dedicated philanthropist. This is because the miser is withholding his assessment of the most utility maximizing uses of his money and that assessment is a valuable thing. Even if the miser knows very little he knows something and as always ignorance is not abdication.
Throwing up your arms and saying that the world is too complex, is itself a choice, it has consequences and you are bound to them.
The second paragraph is important because it continues to hammer home the idea that savings is the residual between income and consumption. However, I want to stress further that it doesn't matter in a real goods sense how that residual is produced.
To give a key example, if consumer prices rise faster than incomes, so that real incomes stagnant or fall, but production does not fall, then this induces savings.
It induces savings because people cannot consume as much as before even though they are producing as much as before. The residual expands. Its why a currency devaluation is an increase in savings and an increase in savings induces a decline in a currency's value.
Saying that if America doesn't get its spending under control then eventually foreigners will lose confidence in American bonds, the dollar will crash and the Fed will be forced to chose between high inflation and high interest rates, is effectively saying that if the US does not reduce consumption then it will have to reduce consumption.
There are important nominal effects that have to be managed when some prices change rapidly and others are stuck, but the real story is a pretty boring one.
As a a last note, if this particular time path of consumption is not to your liking then you should purchase foreign assets. They will be cheap now and dear later. This will allow you to experience the inverse consumption path from America more generally.
Lastly on savings versus stuffing money into the mattress. Your choice between the two as a private citizen will not alter the time path of prices and interest. That is set by the Fed. If you save when the Fed wanted you to stuff, it will contract the monetary base. If you stuff when the Fed wanted you to save, it will expand the monetary base. Your actions will be offset.
And, importantly if the Fed is stuck at the zero lower bound then both of these actions will be contractionary to the overall economy.

[Video] Stick It!
Stick It! President Obama sent Tim Geithner up the Hill yesterday to offer Republicans a proposal which can only be described as "go pound sand." Senator Mitch McConnell reportedly "laughed out loud" upon hearing it. It includes double the Tax Increase of the "Grand Bargain" and offsetting cuts with more stimulus spending and nothing appreciable on entitlements. Numerous Republicans are saying all Republicans should just "walk away" and drop this turkey economy in the President's lap. Should they? Gibson examines.

Two 18-year-old boys with completely different lives head off to the Greek party island of Zante.
Builder Phil is leaving his family home in Liverpool for a lads' holiday with best friends Mike and Mark. Phil's dad Bob is a strict former navy man and is expecting him to behave. Phil can do no wrong in his mum Wendy's eyes - all she asks is that he treats women with respect while he's away. However, Phil has optimistically packed 60 condoms for the week and only has one thing on his mind.
In Cheltenham, youngest child Cian is preparing to leave his over-protective mum Angela and her partner John. Two years ago he surprised his mum by coming out as gay, but hasn't been very open with her about it since. Joining him in Zante are friends Sam, Corey and future university housemate Jade. Mum has written him a list of rules, including only drinking two units of alcohol a day - a rule broken before they even get to Gatwick.
On the first day Phil, ignoring his mum's request, wastes no time in looking for a lady to bring back to his hotel room, but with little success. Cian is already well on his way to breaking all his mum's rules, but the night takes a turn for the worse for his group when he goes missing and an ambulance needs to be called for Jade, who has to spend four hours in hospital on a drip.
Things are about to get worse for the boys as their parents land on the island. As they watch what their children have been up to, seeing another side to them proves to be very difficult viewing for both parents.

Philip Seymour Hoffman Found Dead in NYC
Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead Sunday in his West Village apartment in Manhattan, his life ended by an apparent drug overdose.
The New York Post reported the 46-year-old's body was found on Sunday morning and police suspect a drug overdose.
Hoffman won a well-deserved Oscar for his work in 'Capote' and his 20-year career saw him working with many of the best and most influential filmmakers of the '00s, from Paul Thomas Anderson to the Coens.
He recently appeared in 'Moneyball,' 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'The Master,' but his extended filmography includes 'Boogie Nights,' 'The Big Lebowski,' 'Synecdoche, New York,' 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' and countless other extraordinary films.
Tributes poured in from other Hollywood figures.
"One of the greatest actors of a generation and a sweet, funny & humble man," actor Ricky Gervais tweeted. Director Spike Lee said on Twitter: "Damn, We Lost Another Great Artist."
And Kevin Costner said in an Associated Press interview: "Philip was a very important actor and really takes his place among the real great actors. It's a shame. Who knows what he would have been able to do? But we're left with the legacy of the work he's done and it all speaks for itself."
"No words for this. He was too great and we're too shattered," said Mike Nichols, who directed Hoffman in "Charlie Wilson's War" and "Death of a Salesman."
The law enforcement officials said Hoffman's body was discovered in a bathroom at his Greenwich Village apartment by a friend who made the 911 call and his assistant.
Late Sunday, a police crime-scene van was parked out front, and technicians carrying brown paper bags went in and out. Police kept a growing crowd of onlookers back. A single red daisy had been placed in front of the lobby door.
Hoffman's family called the news "tragic and sudden."
Hoffman is survived by his partner of 15 years, Mimi O'Donnell, and their three children — a son, Cooper Alexander Hoffman, 10, and two daughters, Tallulah Hoffman, 7 and Willa Hoffman, 5.
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone," the family said in a statement.
Few actors have been credited with the range of Hoffman's powerful dramatic performances, from his role in 'Magnolia' and his elevation of goofy, lowbrow comedies like 'Along Came Polly.'
Hoffman, who had a lifelong struggle with drug abuse, checked into rehab last year. According to The New York Times, he had openly discussed "falling off the wagon" after being clean for 23 years.
In a strange turn of events reported by MYFOXNY, he had just been the subject of an internet hoax Saturday, falsely reporting his death.
News of Hoffman's death and tributes from fans and the film community quickly spread on Twitter Sunday.
Associated Press contributed to this report.

Football's original rule book on display at British Library
The original FA Minute Book will form the centrepiece of the British Library's first-ever football display to mark the 150th anniversary of The Football Association.
The book contains the 13 original laws of football and it seems some of them have changed quite a bit since it was written in 1863.

Worked well.
I am not into herbs oils and the like but I have sister that recommended Stone Breaker Compound from her research. (she is very much into tinctures and oils). I took twice the recommended dosage every fifteen minutes for the first hour and then every two hours for the next 12 hours after that I took the recommended dosage three times a day for about a week. I noticed the back pain associated with kidney stones disappeared in about three hours after first taking the tincture. I had some mild abdominal pain but it was bearable. I was working the entire time while the stone was passing versus three days in bed and excruciating pain from the last one I had. I am sure anyone who has suffered with one knows what I mean. I would recommend Stone Breaker Compound highly and am actually ordering a bottle to have on hand for next time or for any friend that may need it.
It took away the pain and helped pass the stone without disrupting my normal routine.
The taste is terrible. I was told to take it with juice the instructions say to put it in a glass of water. The water helps but most of the time I just had bottled water so I took the tincture straight and then flushed it down with water.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

I have had kidney stones removed 4 years ago surgically. I have had pain in the opposite side so I found this product at the health food store. Hoping that I wouldn't have to go through the extreme pain and surgery again. I have taken it the 3 times as directed. The store recommended the I take it for a month to be sure of completely flushing the stones out. I have noticed that I have had some stinging when I urinate. Not sure if it is the calcium oscillate crystals passing as the stones dissolve.
It has seemed to work but wish there was more information on how to take it... how long... during extreme pain, can you take it more often?
Tastes bad.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Mayor of Hurstville, Cr Jack Jacovou said Hurstville City Council is currently seeking to find out more about library patrons and why they use its services.
Mayor Jacovou said patrons are being invited to a listening post at Hurstville City and Penshurst Branch libraries.
"Library staff are asking for feedback about customer's visits and what they like about the library and where if they think could be improvements," he said.
"Council is working in partnership with the University of Wollongong and library services from Auburn, Fairfield, Lake Macquarie, Marrickville, Penrith and Waverley councils."
Mayor Jacovou said this project was also about sharing information between libraries to help further improve overall efficiency and effectiveness.
"Ultimately, our aim is to give customers the best experience whilst using our library service," he said.
"Over the years there have been many changes in technology, demographics, transport and the way our community uses its local library.
"Today, the library is no longer just a place to borrow books.
"Other activities include monthly book chat group, twice monthly knitting group, author talks, and special events specifically designed for seniors, children and families.
"This survey is just one more way to gauge our customer's perception and our commitment to further improve their experience."

April 28, 2013
Romeoville, Ill. - Junior Joe Smalzer drilled four of his match-high 20 kills in the decisive fifth set to lead Loyola to its first-ever Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) tournament title as the Ramblers knocked off Lewis, 3-2 (23-25, 25-23, 10-25, 25-22, 15-7), tonight at Neil Carey Arena in Romeoville, Ill. As a result, Loyola advances to the NCAA Championship for the first time in program history. Lewis' season ends with a 20-10 record.
"I could not be more proud of a group of guys as I am with these guys tonight," said head coach Shane Davis. "We really persevered through some periods where the match was not going our way and found a way to get it done."
After four eventful sets, the teams found themselves in a sprint to 15 to decide the title. A Lewis service error gave Loyola the opening point and kills from Smalzer and Nick Olson gave the Ramblers a 3-0 lead. Back-to-back kills from Thomas Jaeschke made it an 8-4 game at the changeover but Lewis responded with the next two points to get within a pair, 8-6. A service error slowed any momentum that the home team had accumulated and Cody Caldwell followed with a kill, prompting a Lewis timeout. The Ramblers still led 11-7 before finishing strong. Another Caldwell kill gave LU service and Smalzer promptly killed an over-pass to make it 13-7. A Jeff Patton ace gave the Ramblers a handful of championship points but they needed only one, as another strong serve gave LU a chance and Smalzer's 20th kill sent the visiting fans into rapture.
The dramatic finale came after four captivating sets. Loyola struggled to find its rhythm early and Lewis took advantage, racing out to a 6-2 lead in the opening set. Smalzer ripped consecutive kills to get the Ramblers within a point (8-7) but a kill and an ace later from Eric Fitterer bumped the lead back to five, 15-10. Loyola was slowly able to chip away at the deficit and eventually pulled within one (21-20) on a Smalzer kill. However, Lewis was able to side-out the rest of the way, drawing first blood with a 25-23 win.
The second set was a game of runs and the visitors jumped out to a 7-4 lead after consecutive Jaeschke kills. Lewis battled back to forge a 10-10 tie and later moved out to a 17-14 lead after two LU hitting errors. Two Smalzer kills plus one each from Olson and Eric Daliege accounted for all the points in a four-point scoring run on the serve of Dainis Berzins to give the Ramblers the lead back and they took a 21-19 lead on a Lewis error. After the Flyers pulled even at 23, Smalzer pushed the Ramblers to the finish line, first with a kill and then a service ace on set point to even the match at intermission.
After Lewis scored 18 of the last 22 points to take the third set 25-10, Loyola dug deep in the fourth frame. Two Rambler errors helped Lewis to an early 4-1 lead and the Flyers still held a 10-6 lead, forcing LU to spend a timeout. Loyola started to chip away and eventually pulled even at 13 on a Caldwell/Olson block. Consecutive blocks moments later from Olson and Peter Hutz gave the away side its first lead of the set (16-15) and Smalzer had back-to-back kills later to give the Ramblers a 22-18 edge. Lewis would get no closer than two points the rest of the way, with a Flyers foot fault and another service error giving LU the final two points.
Loyola saved its best offensive stretch for the fifth set as the Ramblers hit .600 (10-1-15) in the final frame to finish at .243 for the match while Lewis slugged away at a .345 clip.
Smalzer, who was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, led everyone with 20 kills. He was joined in double figures, and on the all-tournament team, by Jaseschke (15 kills, 14 digs) and Caldwell (12 kills, 12 digs), while middles Olson (nine kills) and Daliege (eight) also contributed. Hutz guided the offense with 50 assists and added 10 digs of his own.
Loyola will find out its opponent tomorrow afternoon when the NCAA unveils the pairings. The selections will be revealed on ncaa.com at 2 p.m. with the National Semifinals being contested on Thursday night at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles.

Shower drain clogged
water collects in my parents tub whenthey shower lately. My mother used drano and now its 50 times worse. The water will barely go down at all. It didnt drain after 8 hours. Is there another stronger chemical or a way for us to snake it without a plumber coming over?
You can try a hand crank snake and hope you can maneuver the tight corners.
my dad called a plumber..thanks
I realize you've already tackled this, but for future reference :
First thing I usually do is get a long pair of tweezers and pick around in the lower shoe of the waste/overflow. If you don't get a humongous wad of hair(or several wads), the next thing is to pull the screws out of the overflow cover, and snake it that way.
I never use caustic drain cleaners like Drano.
This always works for me...a good non-caustic, enzyme-based drain cleaner like DrainCare.
Just run a little warm water down the drain, pour in the DrainCare, let it eat overnight, and then flush it down with very hot water the next day. I use a kettle of boiling water to start the flushing.
An enzyme-based drain cleaner won't harm your fixtures or pipes, but it WILL eat out all organic gunk (hair, soap scum, etc.). If the clog is really bad, you may have to do it more than once.
Try it next time, you won't believe how well it works.
Good Luck!
We have this problem often, and it's usually caused by hair. What I usually do is start plunging, pulling up with a bit of force and it will start to pull the hair out, then i just grab ahold of it and pull it all out. Usually gets most of it out...
Mike is right about the DrainCare. We were having to plunge or use a product called Thrift to clear a slow shower drain every week or two. I kept reading on here and other sites about DrainCare and decided to give it a try. I did like Mike suggested, started with hot water in the drain and let it set overnight then flushed with a pan of boiling water the next morning. It's been three months now and has not been a problem since. Amazing.
thanks for the suggestions guys..it was too late for me to intervene and stop my dad from paying for a plumber...i will try your suggestions next time we have a problem and pass the info onto anyone else having this issue in the future
Hey guys,
We constantly have that problem at my house, so i just wanted to let you know that you're comments were also very useful to me.. THANKS! Have a nice day!
Just did this - 3 women in the house - removed cap, removed all hairballs with screwdriver and pliers, pour a few cups of bleach down, let sit for 10 minutes or so, flush with hot water from tap for another 10 minutes. Works everytime.
I remove the chrome cover. Take my shop vac (wet rated) and suck all the hair out of the trap. It's pretty nasty, but quick and effective. No chemicals, no plunging. Open the window, cause it will smell bad. Remove the vac filter first. Run some water in all the bathroom drains to refill the traps when finished.
Great advice all, I think Drano was invented by a Plumber who specialized in replacing pipes. Probably the same guy who invented those chlorine tablets that eat up all the plastic parts in the toilet tanks.
I am going to try some Drain Care on my own shower. It slowly stops up about every 3 months. (My wife says I'm like the mechanic who won't fix their own car.)

The gourmand who spends his holiday combing Brooklyn for the best slice of pizza. The vegetarian who purchases only the organic kale from a local biodynamic farm at her weekly food market. The home cook who devotes years of his life to perfecting complicated, multi-step recipes for croissants, or ketchup, or sourdough bread.
Do you know these people? Are you these people? Do you think about food, all the time? Do you care where it came from and who made it or grew it or killed it, and how? Do you read the blogposts and the restaurant reviews and the culinary magazines? Do you derive meaning from eating?
If so, chances are you are an adherent of one kind or another worshipping at the altar of food. Food's various gospels are spreading like wildfire across the small segment of humanity wealthy enough to care about what we put in our bodies and to endow it with a significance greater than mere fuel. We privileged few have exalted food to a transcendent position, and have made of it something holy. We create idols out of chefs. We make pilgrimages to the great restaurants. We commune, we perform rituals, we pore over holy texts, we proselytise. We celebrate and sacrifice. And of course, we make war.
Think I'm being flippant, clever, blasphemous, worse? I'm not. I was a true believer once, too. An acolyte. Maybe even a fundamentalist. But then I fell. I was expelled from the congregation of the worthy. I want nothing but to believe, to worship again, to be let back in. But it's not going to happen.
Born, and born-again
Danville, Illinois, circa 1983. A Ponderosa Steakhouse, one of a chain of mid-priced restaurants stretching across the American Midwest, their uniformity part of what draws people to them: the vinyl booths, the wrung-out waitresses. My family, as then constituted – mother, sister, baby brother – gathered for an inexpensive dinner and a few hours of respite from our house during another divorce.
We bickered, we threw things, we spilled our drinks, we did our homework – and we ate. Iceberg lettuce drowned in ranch dressing. Grey steak. Baked potatoes heaped with sour cream. Flaccid broccoli awash in margarine and salt.
That was dinner. That was food in the vast, fertile breadbasket of America of the 80s: pale, overcooked, and bland, bland, bland. Meat and potatoes. Casseroles. Vegetables boiled to nutritional obsolescence. Cupboard snacks of nuclear cheese and fruit leather. Everything maximally processed and minimally nutritious. We ate without thought, without intention, simply to feed our bodies and derive the predictable comforts that fat and sugar provide.
This was how I learned to eat. And this is how I would have continued to eat, and live, and die, in ignorance of true flavour and the sophisticated pleasures of eating. But change was coming.
I came of age in the 1990s, a time that roughly coincided with a rebirth of interest in eating as a pastime. Eating as something novel, thoughtful, purposeful. Local food, slow food, artisanal food. Ethnic food. Fusions. Sushi. The popularisation of the Michelin star.
I ate Indian food for the first time at college. I moved to Chicago and tried Greek and German and Ethiopian food. I moved to California and had real enchiladas and tamales. Around that time microbreweries were expanding their reach. Artisanal coffee was moving from the margins to the mainstream. These were among the first of an onslaught of food trends that now sweep the nation every year.
I moved to New York in 2003. In New York every meal can be an adventure: from the finest restaurants to the daily street markets to the carts on the corners to the bodegas lining every block. From unlicensed pop-up restaurants in Brooklyn to mysterious diners in Queens where the only menus are printed in Hindi and you order by pointing at pictures on the wall. From food trucks parked at the edge of soccer fields to restaurants at the top of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
And the people! Above all the people, who cannot stop talking, thinking, arguing and scheming about food. Have you tried the tacos at the new food truck on Columbus Avenue, did you get a table at the new Korean BBQ in NoLiTa, do you know someone who knows someone who has the phone number for the secret bar located at the back of the Chinese restaurant on St Mark's? They plot and dream, they eat and drink, they elevate and dismiss, and then they wake up the next day and do it all over again.
And I was right there with them. Food was a revelation. I explored and studied and tasted and learned how to judge. Eating became a way to know myself, my preferences and the limits of my adventurousness. I became that most irritating but apt of designations – a foodie. I was in heaven.
The fall
The intestinal pain began in my mid-20s. It was mild at first, and intermittent, becoming acute after particularly large meals. My doctor diagnosed a wonky gall bladder, warned I might eventually have to have it removed. After particularly large meals I might have a night of grinding pain. I tried, half-heartedly, to cut down on the fat. It didn't help.
The final blow came after a year in Italy. A year of eating some of the most impossibly delicious food in the world, every day. I came back a wreck. I saw doctors, specialists, had rounds of tests. They could find nothing physically wrong with me.
Finally, one doctor uttered the fatal words: "Have you tried giving up gluten?"
Two weeks later, it was over. Years of pain and discomfort, gone. A long-standing propensity for head colds vanished. My mind felt clearer, my body 10 years younger. A troubling weakness on my right side disappeared.
What else disappeared? Bagels, croissants, sandwiches. Cakes and cookies and pie. Flour tortillas. Beer – my God, beer was gone! Soy sauce, gone, and therefore most Asian food. Fish and chips. Onion rings. All fried food, in fact. Naan bread. Sauces. Chowder. My wife's homemade fettuccini, perfected during that year in Italy. Southern biscuits drowning in sausage gravy. Perfectly poached eggs benedict on top of crispy, buttery rings of English muffin.
All gone. And the life that I knew was over.
Cleansing of the temple
I fully accept that what I'm saying may sound overdramatic. For billions of people, deprivation is a constant, and food a daily question – not "what" or "when", but "if". And to someone who hasn't experienced the onset of a food restriction, to someone who rolls his eyes at a gluten intolerance, to someone who hasn't had a rich and adventurous eating life suddenly taken away, all this might sound unnecessary and in bad taste.
But I didn't just lose beer and bread.
Sugarloaf Key, Florida. 1987. A church built around slash pine and mangroves. My stepfather, a lifelong Lutheran, has dragged us here, his wife and her three kids, every Sunday for our mutual edification. What a struggle: to dress, to eat, to arrive on time. It's enough to ensure, as we enter to praise God for his patience, that no one on Earth much likes each other.
I never want to go. It's fraught, it's boring. It might even be a scam.
But today is different. Today I don't mind the hard pew. I follow the preacher's sermon. Something clicks into place for me, and I sort of get it: the kind faces, the warm greetings, the growing familiarity of the rituals. The consolations of the tribe. I feel embraced, at home.
As a young person, I took solace in church and a belief in God. Then, in college, scepticism prevailed, and I put away childish things. But because I had grown up among a community of believers, enjoying the believer's quiver of comforts, I gazed with envy at friends of mine who had retained their faith. They enjoyed old, familiar customs. Divine reassurances. A built-in community of the like-minded. If I judged belief to be infantilising and superstitious, a commitment to atheism looked awfully lonely.
There's a simplistic view that everyone in America believes in God. We're a church-going, Bible-thumping, original-sin-loving, backward-thinking people whose talk with angels and belief in a guiding hand make us reason-free fanatics. But that's to forget entirely about the substantial number of secular humanists present in every state of the union.
It's also to forget about what I'd called ambivalent secularists – people like me who have a hard time disowning God entirely.
Without God, what do we do?
We find other gods.
Losing my nutrition
Brooklyn, New York, circa 2004. Under the Brooklyn bridge, near the cobblestone streets of Dumbo. The queue outside the unassuming store front with the plastic red awning stretches almost to the corner. Inside, the place is packed. Framed pictures of Frank Sinatra and Robert De Niro crowd the walls. This is Grimaldi's, the most consistently excellent pizza in the world. Crust thin as paper, a coating of rich red tomato sauce, mozzarella browned and blistered to perfection, and a cavalier toss of basil leaves.
The old me, the glutenous guy, was a seeker, a pilgrim, a mystic, a Gnostic. I went to extraordinary lengths to find Grimaldi's. Gino's, in Chicago, was thick-crust perfection, but Gino's was nothing compared with Pizzeria Regina in Boston's North End. And Pizzeria Regina had nothing on Di Fara in Brooklyn's Midwood neighbourhood. And none of them held a candle to Grimaldi's.
When I abandoned church, I found brunch. I gave up congregants for dinner companions. We made treks to all the boroughs for obscure ethnic delicacies and went broke on tasting menus. We sought out haggis and pakoras, the most talked-about doughnuts, the steak insiders whispered about. By the time I discovered my gluten allergy, I'd found a secular answer to the mystical delights and comforts of ritual denied me when I gave up God.
Then I became sick, and was forced, suddenly, to stop seeking. More often than not, the object of the search was harmful to me. In restaurants I was reduced to asking mincing, humiliating questions. Do you have gluten-free vodka? Is there flour in that sauce? Can you bring the hamburger without a bun? I had to endure the scepticism of bartenders, the confusion of waitresses, the patient forbearance of my dining companions as we scanned the menu to be sure there was something I could eat.
I now looked at other eaters and envied their uncomplicated relationship to food as I once envied my Catholic and Jewish friends at college. It was a much profounder alienation than I might have anticipated, a loneliness of mind and body in the midst of so much happy, uncomplicated communion. When, a few months ago, I received a gift certificate from my father to one of the city's high-end restaurants, complete with a tasting menu of humanely raised and locally sourced ingredients, I was told by the reservationist that they would make no attempt to accommodate my allergy and that I was better off not coming. At my encouragement, my wife and friends, my co-religionists, went without me.
A foodie who wants to stay at home is like the churchgoer who, seized with doubt, sits out Christmas mass. He's lost his faith, his sustenance, his communion with the like-minded, and his nights are long and dark.
My religious attitude toward food, the searching out of higher and higher levels of truth and goodness with the hope I might one day ascend to heaven, never had a moral or ethical dimension. Or if it did, it was an antinomian one, one that forgave a lack of virtue in the name of epicurean delight.
The professional-amateur home chef is a similar seeker. In his expenditure of time, his priestly preparations, and his pursuit of a platonic ideal, he is in direct, near-mystical communion with something bigger than himself, something nobler and better than the known world.
Others use food to direct and centre their moral lives. There is the sustainable-farming movement, the organic movement, the locavore movement. Some people abstain from certain food in a similar vein: everything the vegetarian doesn't eat elevates food to a spiritual level. Our virtue or our good taste – these are our contemporary urban scriptures.
They often force us to choose sides. Are you a vegan or an epicure? An eater of fast foods or a slow-food devotee? A Soylent guzzler or a Goop advocate? There's more at stake than mere taste.
In stark contrast to the ever-searching omnivore, the vegetarian and the locavore have elected a life devoted to ending animal suffering and maintaining ecological sustainability. They combine the virtues of monkish asceticism with the holy righteousness of a fundamentalist. But perhaps they could best be understood as some variety of born-again: they have elected their diet and believe others should, too.
And then there are those who eat and drink only organic. It's no mystery why. We live in a world where "all natural" can mean processed, where "multigrain" can mean Cheerios and pizza crust, where "sugar-free" can be loaded with fat and "fat-free" loaded with sugar. The organic eater is on a crusade to rid the body of impurities – chemicals, additives, hormones, antibodies and genetically modified organisms. It's similar to ridding the mind of empty and useless thoughts – a Zen enterprise, the purge toward a nutritional nirvana. To eat right is to find one's true self amid the weak and false man-made world.
Others seek the assurances of immortality. The calorie-restriction diet. The Paleo diet. Nutritarians. Follow their various bibles and you may live to be 120 years old. And who doesn't want that?
The paleolithic diet's main advocate is Mark Sisson, who runs a website called Mark's Daily Apple. He's one of hundreds of gurus, nutritionistas and foodologists advising, proselytising, exhorting us from a variety of media platforms. There's also Dr Oz, the TV personality, whose daily talk show makes eternal good health seem within reach of us all. There's Gwyneth Paltrow who elevates, via her Goop website, the healthy-living lifestyle into a series of sacred tenets. And there's Dr Mercola, a divisive figure and seller of nutritional supplements who writes with textbook specificity on right eating. Give yourself over to any one of them and they will help you do many things. Burn fat. Eliminate toxins. Boost energy. Curb obesity. Reverse disease. Prevent ageing. Live right. Never die. It's better than a trip to the holy waters.
Forced conversion
Manhattan grocery store, 2014. The gluten-free aisle. One disorganised silver rack dedicated to foods for the fallen. I call it the charity section. The panko flakes. The wasabi rice crunch crackers. The quinoa pasta.
I've been told that there's never been a better time to have a gluten intolerance. The problem is real and the manufacturers have responded. The aisles are full of alternatives. Yet it's all I can do to drag myself over here while my wife buys flour tortillas and a freshly baked baguette. It's all I can do most nights to lift the fork to my mouth.
The luxury of eating for moral reasons is lost to me now. I have to eat certain things just to sustain myself. Not that I was ever tempted to go restrictive. Now that I've been denied a wide swath of delicious foods, I'm more perplexed than ever before by someone willingly denying himself pleasurable foods on principle. "Eat, man!" I want to cry. Eat it all lest it be taken from you!
As for my old pilgrimages to far-flung restaurants, my endless search for divinity on a plate, that's all over, too. There is no more Grimaldi's in my future, no more 12-course tasting menus giving me some intimation of the divine. I must resign myself to rice spirals and faux buns now, just as I once had to learn to accept the loss of comfort and community when I gave up my faith in God. Who knows, maybe something good will come of it. Some hard-fought wisdom. Some solace. I sort of doubt it. But then, God works in mysterious ways.
Know your food tribes

Nutritionista A fit and knowledgable woman whose lifestyle of healthy eating glamorises inedible things like kale, tofu and brown-rice pastas.
Restrictor An ascetic existing on a low-calorie diet in the belief that it will add years to his life – miserable years spent feeling hungry and irritable.
Slow Foodie Someone who so abhors the culture of fast food that her life is quickly consumed by a 24-hour devotion to preparing homemade food.
Soylenite A practical individual so immune to the pleasures of food that he will willingly consume a beverage with the taste and consistency of mucus so long as it provides an unfussy meal with the minimum daily nutritional requirements.

Great for kids and the whole family. Love the opportunity to see local creatures while learning about conservation and protection. Always fun to see what critters will be skittering around the room during a visit.
My four-year old grandson really enjoyed seeing the live animals. Kind of small- took less than half an hour and that was stretching it. I'm in a powerchair- the facility and displays were very accessible.
This place was so cool! We went to a kids birthday party there. They have a small nature center that the kids can check out with some interactive displays. During the party, they bring out local animals and you can watch them eat, touch them and learn about them. It was really amazing. The kids liked it, but I loved...
Admission was free, the only place to take kids to see live animals in Lynchburg. Combined with a trip to the market, makes for a nice Saturday afternoon!
Seeing all the animals that they have here are great. I LOVED the flying squirrel. I had never seen one before.
As this is a free exhibit don't expect over the top stuff, but they definitely have plenty of cool and educational things. I had my son's birthday party there in march and everyone loved it and it was very well done. They even provide the cake as well as some goodie bags and decorations. You have two themes to choose...
I liked taking my toddler there for a free exibit on bee keeping. We liked the iguana which was pretty much the largest animal there. The staff person spent a good bit of time answering my questions and allowing my child to touch things. The snakes, spiders,the guini pig and the squirl were memorable too. There are lots or educational...
Very small, few creatures, didn't get to see the bigger ones...fine for young kids, 3-4, thankfully was only $1-$2. But not really too special.

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush walked into the media room with a smirk on his face Wednesday.
"Packed house," Bush said with a grin. "I wonder why."
Miami rookie head coach Joe Philbin entered minutes later and also noticed a larger-than-usual media corps. It was quiet confirmation that the Dolphins finally are doing something right.
It's been four years since the Dolphins have been this interesting. That was 2008, when former coach Tony Sparano led Miami to an unexpected 11-5 season and an AFC East title.
Since then, the Dolphins have pretty much been a bad punchline. This summer alone, Miami had to slog through a winless preseason and handle the Chad Johnson fiasco on national television during HBO's "Hard Knocks." A 1-3 start to the regular season also didn't help things.
But the Dolphins are suddenly interesting again. They have won two straight with a talented rookie quarterback (Ryan Tannehill) and a physical defense. Many now are wondering whether Miami is just a flash in the pan or potentially a surprise team in the second half of the season.
The Dolphins (3-3) are at a crossroads, and Sunday they travel to MetLife Stadium to face the rival New York Jets (3-4). This matchup will greatly affect the direction of both AFC East teams.
"It's a big game," the usually calm Philbin said. "No question about it."
Added Jets coach Rex Ryan, "It's a huge game for both teams. If it's said otherwise, it's not true, because nobody believes it. Everybody knows how huge this game is."
Is Miami a contender or pretender?
This rebuilt Miami team wasn't expected to compete for a playoff spot in 2012. But the division is mediocre and so is the AFC, and suddenly the wild-card spots are wide open for any teams that can get hot.
The veteran Jets have been there before. They went to back-to-back AFC title games in 2009 and 2010. It's the younger, less experience Dolphins who have to prove they are legit.
This is a golden opportunity for Miami to bury the Jets and send them packing for the season at 3-5. That is a record New York most likely cannot recover from, especially with its best player (Darrelle Revis) and No. 1 receiver (Santonio Holmes) lost for the season.
If the Dolphins are legit, they won't let New York "ground and pound" their defense. Miami's run defense is fifth in the NFL, and another good performance would force the New York to go to its air attack and quarterback Mark Sanchez.
If the Dolphins are legit, they will establish Bush and their ground game on the road against a Jets defense ranked 30th against the run. The combination of running well and stopping the run has kept Miami in nearly every game this season.
If the Dolphins are legit, Tannehill will continue to show improvement after the bye. He struggled against New York's defense in the first meeting, throwing for just 196 yards and a costly pick-six. But Tannehill's quarterback ratings in three games since have been 86.5, 92.3 and 112.0.
"I think he's steadily improved each and every week," Dolphins guard Richie Incognito said. "He's done a really good job knowing what the defense is trying to do to us and putting us in the right protections and the right run calls."
There are no excuses for the Dolphins, who have had two weeks to rest and prepare for their biggest rival. Miami nearly beat the Jets in overtime in the first meeting, and the Dolphins have seen enough tape to adjust to what went wrong.
Unlike the Jets, the Dolphins have been very fortunate with injuries and will enter this game virtually at full strength. Cornerback Richard Marshall (back) is the only player not expected to be available on Sunday. The Jets have injuries at linebacker (Bart Scott), defensive line (Sione Pouha, Kenrick Ellis) and running back (Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight).
A caveat might be the trash talking and emotion. These rivals simply don't like each other. The back and forth between Dolphins players such as Bush and center Mike Pouncey and Jets players such as LaRon Landry and Aaron Maybin have made for a fun week. Landry has gone as far as to guarantee a win for the Jets.
Whether the trash talking leads to rough play remains to be seen.
"I go back to the game I saw on September 23 (and) it was a hard fought game by both teams," Philbin said. "I didn't think it was a dirty game. Players played hard and I suspect that will be what happens this time around."
The Dolphins have another thing going for them: Miami has never been swept by the Jets under Ryan. The Dolphins will be motivated not to let their biggest rival accomplish that feat.
"We know who we're playing. This is a good football team," Ryan said. "The fact that we've never beat them twice, that kind of gives us energy. The fact that we can go 3-1 in our division with two wins over Miami, that would be huge. So we see it as a real possibility."
If the Dolphins are truly a contender, they will win this game and position themselves to make a push in the second half of the season. On the other hand, a loss by the Dolphins would throw them back in the pack of mediocre, sub-.500 teams.
It's time for Miami to make its choice.

Afterwards we had dinner and headed back to the house for an evening of ...

Blue skies, no clouds and three mosquito bites. What a way to wake up. But I would rather wake up to a mosquito bite than being bitten by a scorpion. We killed a second one last night. Not quite an animal you want to have closer contact with. Karsten made menemen for breakfast and we were indecisive what we wanted to do. First we ...
