Summer is just around the corner, and you know what that means if you're a foodie— barbecue parties in just about every place. And when you say barbeque parties, you will definitely have to include cooking on a charcoal grill into the equation. After all, it is hard to dispute that food just tastes richer and tastier when cooked on a charcoal grill.
Although there is a lot of controversy on eating food cooked on a charcoal grill and its link to cancer risks, what is hard to dispute is that the additional flavor that grilling imparts to food is what makes cooking on a charcoal grill very important. You know that with your barbeque. Plus grilled foods have less fat than foods that are cooked in pan since fat is able to drip away.
But everyone knows that cooking on a charcoal grill isn't as easy as frying an egg in a pan. Fortunately there are lots of charcoal grilling tips that you can refer to in making sure you get the most out of your grill.
Cooking on a Charcoal Grill Tips
You should have the right charcoal grill if you want to make the juiciest and most mouthwatering dishes for your family members and friends.
If you are to buy a charcoal grill, you should know the right surface area for your needs. A charcoal grill with limited surface area can pose a lot of problems if you are to grill for a large number of people.
For example, if you are to cook for nine to ten guests, the charcoal grill space should be around 900 to 1000 square inches. A minimum of 1,000 square inches is needed if you are to throw a barbeque party for more than 10 people. In case the number of people is around four to five, you will need a grill with 400 to 500 square inches of space.
You must also look at the features of the charcoal grill before buying one. For example, there are charcoal grills with rotiserrie which would add a charcoal flavor to a rotisserie chicken.
You should also consider the type of ash removal that the grill has. There are grills that come with pans for ease in removal of the ashes. You'd also want a grill that has a sturdy and heavy duty steel cooking grate and charcoal grate.
Other features that you would want from a charcoal grill are built-in thermostat and grill cover.
Charcoal Grilling Basics
The beauty of charcoal grilling is that you can grill basically every mouthwatering food out there. From steaks, hamburgers, chops, chicken, to brisket, you can cook them on a charcoal grill. You can also grill fish and vegetables.
And it's fun, too, as you can watch the food get cooked. Plus the unmistakable aroma of grilling can whet your appetite that other kinds of cooking can't.
In charcoal grilling, the food is placed directly over the radiant heat source. A distinct advantage is that it is the only grilling method where food can get the popular seared charcoal flavor, or char-broiled. It's something you can't get from a gas grill.
A disadvantage is that charcoal grill can burn hotter than gas. It is thus harder to control heat but there are plenty of ways to do it successfully.
In lighting a charcoal grill, you need to have charcoal briquettes or char wood. Place sheets of aluminum foil at the base of the grill before you put and light the coals. This would make it easier for you to clean the gral and disposed the used coals and its ashes.
Now place the coals, stacking them in a pyramid shape right in the middle of the grill. This would also allow for air to flow and enable the coals to burn more efficiently and with less smoke. Spray lighter fluid on the charcoal; light enough just to get the briquettes soaked. As you get used to it, you will learn how to light the coals without the use of a lighter fluid by using plain old newspapers.
Give it a minute or so for the coals to be soaked in fluid. Then using a match or a long-neck grill lighter, start the fire. Light the opposite sides of the stack quickly. Give the coals around 20 minutes or so to light and burn.
You need them to be hot and glowing prior to grilling. You would know that you can start cooking when the coals get that familiar ash gray color.
There should be no smoke. Fan the coals gently so they would burn, or give it a few minutes before you start cooking. Using tongs, evenly spread the hot coals on the grate. The flames should have died down before you put the food on the grill.
Now once you have placed the food on the grill, you need to control the temperature on the charcoal grill. Remember that this type of grill doesn't have a temperature setting. Instead you will have to use the vents or dampers on the top of the lid and at the bottom of the grill to control the temperature.
Both the top and bottom vents must be opened wide. The vents at the top are for trapping or releasing heat and smoke. The ones at the bottom are for cutting down oxygen supply, reducing fire, and extending the burning time of the coals.
If there is too much heat, you can open the vents of the top of the lid so that some heat would escape. Then close the vents at the bottom. In case you need more heat, simply reverse the steps. Close the top vents and open the lower vents.
You can also simply open the hinged lid, which is a feature in most large grills. For smaller grills, there's a lid that comes right off. You can cover this once the fire is toned down. If you remove the lid, more oxygen will get into the coals and this will increase the fire.
Temperature will vary depending on the food items you will cook. For example, grilling thin steaks, fish, and poultry usually require less than 30 minutes and on high heat. If cooked on low heat and for an extended period, said food items will dry out and lose their juices.
To be able to monitor the temperature of the grill, use a grill thermometer. It is pretty inexpensive at around $3. It can help you avoid burning of food. In case you can't get one, you can place an instant food or meat thermometer in one of the top vents so you can have an idea on the grill temperature.
In case you are grilling larger food items such as lamb, ribs, and roasts, you should use the indirect grilling technique with less heat. You will have to lower the temperature so that the outside of the food is not burned, while the inside is well cooked.
The key to cooking on a charcoal grill is to grill the foods at the right temperature. As much as possible, you should grill within the recommended temperature range and cooking time.
Some people are good at just looking at the color of the food in determining whether the food they're grilling is done or not. But not everyone is capable of pulling off this trick. Most of the time, the color can trick you into believing that the food is good and ready. There are also instances when the food is safe but its color outside looks raw.
The ability to judge a food's readiness or doneness just by looking at its color would get easy over time, as you get more grilling experience. Suffice to say, veteran cooks know when items are ready with one look at the food.
Charcoal Grilling Tips
Charcoal grilling may sound simple, but try to do it one time and you'll definitely have your hands full.
However, we listed grilling tips to keep in mind so that you can come up with a tasty and juicy dish that you can proudly serve to your guests:
- Read and understand the recipe to lower the risks of food poisoning and more importantly, avoid being disappointed with the outcome of your grilled dish.
- Create a checklist of the ingredients, tools, cooking times, and temperatures you will need or follow.
- Before grilling, lightly coat the food and cooking grill with a cooking spray. This should prevent the food from sticking on the grill.
- The food should be spaciously laid out on the cooking grill so you can see the coals as they burn. Also, keep a close eye on the fire. This would help you deal with flare-ups.
- If there are still food residue on the cooking grid from your previous grilling session, set the temperature to high so that the particles will be burned off. After a few minutes, use a grill wire brush in scraping off the residue. Then re-coat the grate with cooking oil.
- Use a tong in turning food, particularly chicken, steak, and other juicy foods. Don't use a pitch fork to stab and turn the said food items because it can create a path for the juice to run off. But a pitch fork is ideal for turning chops, thin steaks, and hamburgers.
- Place an aluminum pan or a shallow metal under the cooking grid when you are grilling large food items. This would be for collecting the juices.
- Don't use gasoline or kerosene in lighting the coals as this can cause explosion, resulting to burns. In case the coals don't light up well, stack unlit coals over the glowing ones. Fan them gently.
- Don't use a charcoal grill indoors as it is a fire hazard
- Charcoals grills are very easy to tip over. You should place yours on a flat and level surface. Moreover, don't leave it unattended especially if you have small children or pets in your household.
Cooking Chicken on a Charcoal Grill
Grilled chicken is one of the favorite dishes cooked on a charcoal grill. It's a crowd pleaser, something that young and old alike will love. Although the idea of grilling chicken over fire seems simple, the truth is that the meat is very prone to drying out.
Grilled chicken drumstick is one of those chicken dishes that you would want to be cooked on a charcoal grill. After all, it is a dish that your kids and spouse would want to have for dinner.
In grilling chicken pieces, medium hot fire and two-zone are needed. Two-zone means that the coals are banked to a side of the grill. Thus there's a hot zone, and a cooler area.
Light up a pile of briquettes. Once the coals are ready, arrange these in a two-zone fire. Remove the top lid, allowing the grill to heat up with all the vents open.
To minimize the chances of flare up, excess fat should be trimmed from the chicken drumstick. You should also let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for an hour or to so that the marinade will penetrate the meat.
The larger pieces should be placed on the hot side of the grate. Sear all the chicken pieces for around 3 minutes per side. Turn them only once until they become golden brown, and ensuring that the skin doesn't char. In case the grill flares up, remove the chicken away from the coals.
But what if you want to grill a whole chicken?
Similar to roasting, the problem with grilling a whole chicken begins with its odd shape. Compounding matters is that the different parts of the chicken are to be cooked at different temperatures. The breast meat, for one, should not be cooked over 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and its leg should not be cooked more than 165 degrees.
Thus you should "butterfly" the chicken. It is a technique for creating a uniform thickness throughout the chicken, so that the meat will be cooked quickly and evenly.
As far as cooking is concerned, a slow and gentle grilling is ideal. When the chicken is cooked at high temperatures, the outer layers of the breast will be overcooked. You also want its skin to be crisp, and this involves high temperature to remove moisture, render excess fat, and browning of the proteins.
Because there's a need for high and low temperatures, a two-zone indirect fire is needed. As mentioned earlier, this is a method in which all the coals are piled up on one side.
Cooking Steak on a Charcoal Grill
Perhaps one of the reasons why you are intent on learning how to cook on a charcoal grill is the chance to finally make your own steak. We all know how expensive steak is, so cooking your own is really a good and practical idea. Although you can also use a propane grill, a charcoal grill is much better because it can give your steak a smoky flavor.
In cooking steak on a charcoal grill, you would have to ditch the charcoal briquettes in favor of hardwood logs and lump hardwood charcoal. The latter provides fast and high heat while smoking wood can add flavor and aroma to the food. You can get these in hardware and gourmet stores.
And instead of the traditional pyramid method in stacking the coals, you should arrange them in an even layer. The pyramid method may prevent you from getting a range of temperatures in this case. The grill grate must be around four inches above the coals.
You'll know that you are ready to cook a steak when the charcoal glows red and there are some ashes beginning to appear. You will also know that the grill is in medium high heat (which is the best for a thick porterhouse) when you can hold your hands a few inches above the grate for a second or so.
But before you put the steaks on the fire, you should bring them to room temperature first. Like in cooking other food, you should also rub oil on the grate.
Once you have put the steaks, you should be ready to change their positions when needed. Thinner parts of each cut must stay on less intense part of the fire to avoid overcooking.
Flare-ups would be normal, as the fat dripping onto the hot coals is unavoidable. Simply move the steak to another part of the grill. You should avoid flare ups because it can burn the surface of the meat and this could lead to unhealthy compounds forming on the steak.
As much as possible, don't flip the steaks more than once as it can disrupt the caramelization. Use tongs when flipping the steaks, as using fork or another implement will puncture the meat and let juices escape.
Steaks will cook quickly over a hot grill. Touch and cut the steak often to see if they're done. The steaks will continue to cook a couple of degrees more once they are taken off the grill.
You'll also know that the heat is medium when drops of red juices appear on the surface of a porterhouse steak or a rib-eye. Thus if you see those juices, it means you've missed your chance on a medium rare or rare.
Cooking fish on a Charcoal Grill
Fish is considered one of the hardest foods to grill, but you should be able to do so if you follow these tips.
The key to grilling fish is preheating the grill on high. It can also help in caramelizing the fish, and minimize the time that the fish is on the grill. In turn, it lessens the risk of the food drying out. Moreover, it can prevent the fish from sticking into the grill.
Remember that when in grilling fish, the temperature should be at medium to high heat. The temperature , depending on the recipe, is around 400 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
In case you want to sear the flesh side, you need to oil the flesh side of the fish and put it down on the grate and grill. This will allow the fish to naturally release itself from the grate once it is done being grilled. If you aren't inclined to sear, simply put the fish skin side directly on the grate.
The general rule of thumb in grilling fish is to allot eight to 10 minutes of grilling time for every inch of fish. Once you are about to take it off the grill, slide the spatula in between the spot where the flesh and the skin meet. Then using a side-to-side motion, cut through the two areas so that the skin remains on the grate and the flesh piece is removed from the grill.
Give the time around five minutes to rest after it was pulled out of the grill. This should be enough time for the juices to run back into the cut and make the fish more tender.
If the fish you are grilling has no skin, let it sit for 10 minutes to bring it up to room temperature. Then generously oil both sides, add seasoning, and put it on the cooking grates. These steps will lessen the chances of the fish sticking into the grates.
Flip the piece of fish only once while grilling. Don't turn and flip it repeatedly, as it will likely break apart while being grilled.
Don't force the piece of fish off the grill when you need to flip it. Be patient. Let the fish naturally release itself from the cooking grate. Again, give the fish 3-5 minutes to relax and let its juices run back to the cut of the fish.
Follow these tips and you should be on your way to grilling up a flawless dinner—whether it's chicken, steak, or fish, that will impress anyone at your dinner table. As you can see, cooking on a charcoal grill isn't that hard and complicated.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Thursday, November 29, 2007
Since 2002, the University at Albany baseball team has had at least one former Hudson Valley Community College student-athlete on its roster. That relationship should continue for at least the next couple of years with the recent signing of Hudson Valley pitchers Nate Novak (Hudson/Hudson High School) and Justin Shannon (East Greenbush/Columbia High School).
Novak leaves Hudson Valley as one of the most decorated pitchers in school history. He was a two-time First Team All-Region III selection, a two-time Mountain Valley Conference Player of the Year and a First Team NJCAA All-American. He established a school-record for career wins with a 16-3 record over his two years. He struck out 165 batters in 119 innings. At the plate, he ranks fifth with 96 career hits.
Shannon has one more season remaining at Hudson Valley before transferring in 2008. He posted a 4-3 record as a freshman, striking out 34 batters in 30 innings of work.
UAlbany, coached by John Mueller, won the America East Conference championship in 2007 and advanced to its first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament.

Y-DNA-HAPLOGROUP-I-L ArchivesArchiver > Y-DNA-HAPLOGROUP-I > 2007-10 > 1192895418
From: "Ken Nordtvedt" <>
Subject: [DNA-HG-I] I1b1 and P41: I'll try again
Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2007 09:50:18 -0600
I wrote perhaps a less-than-clear message last night about P41, I'll try again.
P37.2+ defines haplogroup I1b1 within y-haplogroup I The most well known clade of I1b1 is I1b1-Dinaric, found across much of Eastern Europe. I have several haplotypes of the I1b1-Dinaric clade which have tested negative for P41
But two additional robust clades of I1b1 have been found with modal or founder haplotypes of the 67 marker extension which are very distinct from I1b1-Dinaric.
These clades are I1b1-Western and I1b1-Isles, and they are found in western Europe rather than eastern Europe. I1b1-Isles is found exclusively in the British Isles.
These clades of I1b1 split from their common ancestor very early in the history of haplogroup I in Europe.
I find not one of my haplotypes of I1b1-Western or I1b1-Isles to have tested for P41
But I could be wrong about this --- just lacking knowledge of tests that were made.
Checking old email messages, University of Arizona told me that their only dna sample of P41+ was from the British Isles.
So I would like to really encourage anyone with a I1b1-Isles or I1b1-Western haplotype to test for P41 at Ethnoancestry.
Equally, if anyone of I1b1-Isles or I1b1-Western has taken the P41 test and found negative, that information would be valuable also. Please let me know.
We have a chance to make P41 a useful SNP which would identify an already well-identified clade within y-haplogroup I.

Less than one month after the Exchange Club of Killeen donated a new Ford F-250 cargo van to the Killeen-area Meals On Wheels Program, two of its wheels were stolen.
On Thursday morning, as Killeen volunteer Van Robinson finished packing up the vehicle with hot meals to deliver to area seniors, he noticed something strange about the front tires.
"I happened to do a little spot check of the vehicle," Robinson said. "Not only were they old but they were cracked."
Volunteers at the nonprofit suspect that over the weekend somebody had jacked up the vehicle, which had been parked at the center since Saturday, and swapped the new tires with a pair of old, bald and cracked tires.
"These tires were so old you would not want to trust them," Robinson said. "They would not have passed inspection."
Estella Macias, who has volunteered with Meals On Wheels for 30 years, replaced the damaged tires for about $430 out of pocket.
Meals On Wheels delivers about 2,000 meals per month to homebound seniors in Killeen, Harker Heights and Nolanville. On a single day, it delivers 99 meals.
On the same day volunteers discovered the tires had been stolen, the three other delivery vans were out of service due to mechanical failures.
The food was delivered, Macias said, despite the hurdles.
"We do what we have to do because the people need their meals," Macias said.
Meals On Wheels is funded by the Hill Country Community Action Association Inc.
Because of recent cutbacks and budget constraints, many centers have had to close down, Robinson said. Losing donations after it has received them is not an option for the nonprofit.
"We've been here for 44 years and this is the second incident," Macias said. "We are going to take extra precautions."
To donate to the HCCAA or Meals On Wheels, call (325) 372-5167.
If you have information about the stolen tires, call the Killeen Police Department at (254) 501-8830.

Mr Charles Hallace Romaine1 was born in Kentucky2 on 11 July 1866.
He was the youngest son of William H. Romine (1825-1867), a farmer, and Julia "Jailey" Hester Lynam (1826-1911). His father hailed from Virginia3 and his mother from Kentucky.
He had eleven siblings: William Henry (1843-1927), John F. (b. 1846), James H. (1847-1903), Jo Ann Matilda (1849-1922, later Mrs Oliver Pearce), Mary E. (1851-1880), Sarah (b. 1854), Richard Absolam (1855-1945), D. Howard (b. 1858), Artimecia (1860-1934, later Finney), Franklin F. (1862-1944) and Georgie Ellen (b. 1864).
His father died in 1867 and his mother was remarried to Joshua Secrist4 (b. 1827), another Kentucky man who worked as a farm labourer and who had several children from a previous relationship. Charles, his mother, stepfather and step-siblings appear on the 1870 census living in Tiffin, Adams County, Ohio. When the 1880 census was conducted a 13-year-old Charles, listed as Harrison Sechrest, is described as a farm labourer and living in Oliver, Adams County, Ohio. His whereabouts after this are unclear but it seems he and his family uprooted and moved to Anderson in Madison County, Indiana sometime around 1892.
Charles was married around 1895 to Eileen Beatrice Doll (b. 15 March 1874) but they had no children, settling in Manhattan. When the couple appeared on the 1900 census they were residents of West 112th Street, later appearing at 107th Street for the 1905 census. By 1910 the couple were residents of West 109th Street. Romaine earned a living as a stockbroker.
Romaine's 1915 passport describes him as standing at 5 ' 11" with grey hair, brown eyes and a dark complexion.
In April 1911 Romaine's mother Jailey died. She had been in a bad fall four years previous and suffered up until her death. Almost exactly one year later Romaine would find himself aboard Titanic.
Romaine boarded the Titanic at Southampton as a first class passenger (ticket number 111428 which cost £26, 11s). He is remembered as one of several passengers engaged in gambling on the ship and he used several aliases including Harry Romine but chose Mr C. Rolmane for this trip. He would later claim to have heard passengers on say they had seen icebergs near the ship just a short time before the collision.
Romaine was rescued, possibly in lifeboat 9.
Charles and his wife appear on the 1920 census as residents of West 98th Street, Manhattan and by that time Charles is described as a promoter of oil stocks. He had spent time living in London in 1915 where he served as a managing director of Throg-Morton trust company and for a few years following the Titanic disaster he managed the Hotel Doxey in Anderson, Indiana before returning to New York and the brokerage business.
Charles was killed after being hit by a taxi cab on 18 January 1922 just a block away from his home. He is buried in Maplewood Cemetery, Anderson, Indiana.
His sister Matilda was to follow him in death less than five months later on 4 May as a result of blood poisoning, believed to have derived from a slight scratch on her finger nail.
His widow Eileen never remarried and later settled in Englewood, New Jersey. She died in January 1970 aged 95 and was buried with Charles.

Phil Harris
- Surname more commonly spelled Romine, but Charles seems to have preferred the Romaine spelling
- Birthplace uncertain. Several sources give his birthplace as Georgetown in Scott County. Romaine himself stated on his 1915 passport that he had been born in Lafayette County, Kentucky. No such county exists and it is possible he meant Fayette County. On his 1918 passport he stated he was born in Harmony, Kentucky, a town in Fulton, County. The 1850 census shows his family as residents of Bath County and on the 1860 census at Owen County. A family source places his birthplace as Bowling Green, Warren County.
- Birthplace uncertain; he stated on the 1850 census that he was born in Virginia and on the 1860 census he stated Tennessee as his birthplace.
- Spelling of Secrist varies across records

An update from our very own Matt Kish:
A great review of "The Graphic Canon: Volume 2" from Paste Magazine. 12 of my "Moby-Dick" illustrations are included in the anthology, and Paste had this to say: "The other revelation comes from Matt Kish, who has created a unique image for every page of Moby Dick (all of which can be seen on his blog). Intense and surreal, these visions are a triumph, keeping a strong tether to the original prose while launching into electrifying worlds of their own."
3 Responses to "Paste on Kish's "Dick""
You know it's not the first time.
I stole this headline for my own blog, but gave full credit and a link back to Mr. Goins for his admirably filthy imagination.

I recently subscribed to the Hartford Perlmongers list. I found the big logo saying "Python Powered" on the listserv's webpage somewhat ironic. Here's the link: [http://mail.pm.org/mailman/subscribe/hartford-pm]. It's just an observation; not a negative criticism. I am, after all, a person who has quite cheerfully written a database engine in Fortran-77.

Dog allergy treatment options come in a variety of different forms... and which one you choose depends on what is causing your dogs' symptoms in the first place.
Whether it's a rash, recurring ear infections, hot-spots, hair loss
or incessant scratching and licking... there's a treatment or product
that can help!
But it's important to remember that treating the symptoms of an allergy is only part of the equation..... in order to 'cure' them you also need to find out what is causing the problem in the first place!
Reducing exposure to the allergy 'trigger' (or eliminating it completely if possible) is obviously the best way to get rid of annoying and uncomfortable symptoms.
But you need to know what you're looking for... or at least the general direction you need to be looking in!
Different types of allergies can produce slightly different symptoms, so to get a better idea of what might be triggering his problems check out my Dog Allergy Symptoms page.
Treatment options are pretty varied, and can include dietary changes, parasite control, herbal or natural products, and/or vet-prescribed medications/treaments. Let's take a closer look....
Many dogs are allergic to the saliva of fleas, and just one bite can set up an intense cycle of itching, scratching... more itching.... more scratching. You get the picture!
Before using a topical flea and tick product, you should give your pet a bath with a gentle, soothing shampoo that will help to remove the flea saliva from your his skin and fur.
Don't use a flea-shampoo for this as it might cause more irritation and could interact with the preventative treatment you're about to apply.
A mild shampoo such as TrueBlue Pure and Sure Puppy Shampoo or Epi-Soothe Shampoo is the best choice.
The next step in treating dog flea allergies it to make sure you get rid of any fleas on your puppy or dog, and prevent any more from 'hitching a ride'.
I don't advise using over-the-counter flea and tick medications as generally they're not very effective and can have unwanted side effects (occasionally these can even be dangerous to your pet).The best, safest, and most effective products to use are those that you can get from your vet's office and include K9 Advantix II , Advantage Multi , Frontline Plus and Comfortis
These will kill fleas and ticks (some also target other canine parasites) quickly, and prevent re-infestation. They need to be applied monthly.
If your dog has sore, irritated 'hot spots' or areas of red, irritated skin, then your dog allergy treatment regime should include a Hydrocortisone With Aloe Vera Spray or ItchStick Medicated Skin Relief
Our Olde English Bulldog sometimes gets really nasty 'hot spots' that flare up overnight (due to seasonal allergies, not fleas, but a hot spot is a hot spot regardless of the trigger!). The best remedy we've found is a spray called 'Gentasoothe' which is prescribed by our veterinarian.
It literally reduces the inflammation overnight and stops the itching and oozing. If your puppy or dog is really troubled by hot spots and red, swollen or irritated skin due to allergies, I'd recommend asking your vet about prescribing a spray which contains Gentamicin Sulfate.
If dogs skin has areas that are very red, swollen, hot, painful or scabby, it could have become infected and you'll need to have your vet take a look.
Regardless of the allergy trigger, if the reaction is severe sometimes treatment needs to include medications such as cortisone shots or oral allergy medications, and your vet can get this set up for you.
Dog food allergies are most often triggered by a source of protein in the ingredients.
Meats such as beef or pork are likely candidates, but grains such
as wheat or corn or other ingredients including eggs, dairy, yeast and
more can also be the culprits.
The best way of treating dog allergies of this sort is to follow an 'elimination diet'. In short this means getting your pup onto a diet that contains none of the ingredients in his current food, and there are a range of hypoallergenic dog foods and those formulated with more unusual ingredients to choose from.
Some of the best foods for dogs with allergies include premium formulas which have healthy, natural ingredients. If you want to try one that has out-of-the-ordinary ingredients (recommended for elimination diets) then Wellness Simple Venison Dry Dog Food 10.5 lbs is a good choice.
Grain freed dog foods are also worth trying as some dogs do better on these.
You will need to keep your puppy or dog on this new diet for at least 8 - 12 weeks before you will be able to tell whether or not it's helping. It can take that long for the inflammation caused by the reaction to the previous ingredient/s to totally subside.
And, it's important to remember that your dog could be reacting to an ingredient in something other than his food... dog treats, table scraps, edible chews and toys, vitamins or other supplements could be the problem, so change or eliminate these during the elimination diet period.
Another dog allergy treatment option for dog food allergies is to add a dietary supplements such as Ark Naturals Royal Coat which contain essential fatty acids or products such as Nettle-Eyebright for Dog Allergies which strengthens your pet's immune system.
Although dogs can suffer from an allergic reaction to something that they are breathing in (such as dust, pollen, dander etc.), their symptoms are usually quite different to ours. We might sneeze and cough, and have itchy watery eyes.
Dogs are more likely to develop severe and generalized (ie
all over) itching, and bite, scratch and lick at themselves
It can be difficult to protect your dog from inhalant allergies, but try to follow the advice given to people such as trying to stay indoors as much as possible during allergy season, especially on windy days.
Also, keep your home as dust-free as possible and use a high powered vacuum with a HEPA filter and put HEPA filters in your heat/AC system too.
There are several dog allergy treatment options for these type of allergies and one of the simplest ones is to bathe your pup regularly with a gentle shampoo such as TrueBlue Pure and Sure Puppy Shampoo to remove dust, pollen and other allergens from his coat.
Dietary supplements which contain essential fatty acids, such as Ark Naturals Royal Coat can help reduce itching by improving the condition of his skin/coat.
There are a couple of other treatment options available to your vet too. Anti-inflammatory medications or corticosteroids can dramatically improve the severity of your pets symptoms and in severe cases it's possible that your vet may advise giving your dog allergy shots (this type of treatment is called hyposensitization).
An antihistamine that's been especially formulated for your dog can be very effective and may also be worth a try. This generic Benadryl for dogs is an over-the-counter product that treats the symptoms of all sorts of allergies.
In some ways, treating an allergic reaction to something topical is easier than coping with other types of canine allergies.
That's because if it's topical then the allergen is actually coming into contact with your puppy/dog's body so once you've figured out what it is, you can remove it from his environment. At least theoretically!
If it's a collar, new coat, bowl, carpet shampoo, topical parasite medication, or yard chemical he's reacting to then you can eliminate the trigger pretty easily.
But if it's grass, carpet fiber or something like that then it's more of a problem and you're going to need to be more creative in reducing his contact with the source of his itchiness.
Dog allergy symptoms won't just disappear immediately you remove his collar (or whatever) though, it will take time.
While his body is ridding itself of the histamine reaction, you can use many of the products mentioned in the above paragraphs to reduce his discomfort.

I'm 20 and got my braces 2 years ago in Riyadh. We then moved to the Philippines so technically I have two Orthos, each one of them adjusted my braces for a year. But my present Ortho told me that my braces is ready to be removed. I just kind of doubt it because of the way my teeth looks. Is it really time for my braces to go off?

WASHINGTON (Oct. 14)
Israel's view of the current Anglo-Egyptian crisis, with particular emphasis on the Suez Canal issue, was discussed today at the State Department by Israel Ambassador Abba Eban with Assistant Secretary of State George C. McGhee. Schmuel Bendor, officer in charge of U.S. Affairs for the Israel Foreign Ministry, participated in the discussion.
The Ambassador said after the meeting that no progress was being made at meetings of the Palestine Conciliation Commission at Paris because the Arabs do not desire a peaceful settlement with Israel. He said the Arabs even refuse to carry out the terms of the armistice as interpreted by the United Nations Security Council. Mr. Eban said that current economic problems were also discussed.

A friend asked me why I put so much emphasis on text when I talk about user interfaces. I cannot give a better answer myself:
Copywriting is interface design. Great interfaces are written. If you think every pixel, every icon, every typeface matters, then you also need to believe every letter matters. When you are writing your interface, always put yourself in the shoes of the person who is reading your interface. What do they need to know? How you can explain it succinctly and clearly?
Read the rest: Getting Real: Copywriting is Interface Design (by 37signals)
Keep it short and sweet. Say what you need to and no more.
For two reasons:
- When we say more than we need to say, we probably don't know what the important part of our message is. Why then do we expect others to know?
- When the important part is mixed with unimportant parts, people are likely to miss it.
Of course, length in itself is not an absolute measure of the quality of communication. In fact, even communication that repeats itself can be good communication. But that's a different matter.

hi, my butt got more saggy post-liposuction of my banana rolls under butt cheeks( is it banana rolls or saddle bags anyway?) how do i restore them to former perkiness? and is the sagginess due to skin or fats?
Doctor Answers 2
It sounds like the ligament that your buttock sit on was disrupted by the liposuction cannula. Unfortunately in my experience this is not fixable unless you are a candidate for a thigh buttock lift.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
Banana roll liposuction is tricky and requires skill
The area under the buttock is often referred to as the banana roll. It's so called because it has the curved appearance of a banana and is more-or-less similar in shape and fullness. It's not present in everyone; it's kind of like dimples--you either have them or you don't. Those who have a banana roll often don't like it and want it gone with liposuction. Unfortunately, it requires a significant amount of skill to suction that location without creating an unintended consequence--a droopy buttock. Once the buttock has "dropped" from suctioning the banana roll, it's not easy to fix. I would suggest discussing this with your physician, and if needed, get another opinion from a very experienced physician who performs lots of liposuction to find out if anything can be done.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

text: KARACHI : Zakaria Usman, President FPCCI has expressed his deep concern over the destruction of imported goods and consequent losses to the importers during the recent terrorist attack on Karachi airport. In a statement issued here on Saturday, he further said that he has been receiving complaints of the aggrieved importers who are worried about their huge financial losses and annoyed on the silence of the authorities which has created uncertainty amongst them about compensation of their losses. He further said that due to high rate of premium for insurance against terrorism, the aggrieved importers did not get their consignments insured except a few big companies. He said that normally the airport area is considered as highly secured and red alert zone as compared to other areas of the city due to which the importers do not bother to get insurance against terrorism. The said incident was a security laps which caused huge financial loss to the business community. The government normally compensates the effectees of terrorism by making some payment to the aggrieved persons or their relatives. The President FPCCI further said that millions of dollars worth goods including mobile phones, laptop computers, medicines, pharmaceutical raw material and chemicals for dyes and paints have been destroyed. The government should have some sympathy with them and arrange some compensation to cover their losses so that they can be saved from insolvency and bankruptcy. They may also be refunded their taxes and duties already paid to government on their consignments which could not be cleared but lost. Zakaria Usman has suggested that a special committee should be formed immediately consisting of the representatives of concerned authorities including Civil Aviation, Customs, Airport Security Forces, Gerry's, Pak Shaheen and business community. The said committee should expeditely assess the losses of individual importers on the basis of documentary evidences and submit comprehensive report to the government.

Next week, Susan Boyle's 'I Dreamed a Dream' is estimated to face off against Lady GaGa's 'The Fame' on the run to No. 1 position of U.S. albums chart.
After two weeks blocked from the top slot of Billboard Hot 200, Susan Boyle is predicted to rule the chart once again next week. Her recent performance at "The Oprah Winfrey Show" reportedly becomes the main factor that boosts the selling number of "I Dreamed a Dream".
The only heavy contender for taking the No. 1 position is Lady GaGa's "The Fame", so HITS Daily Double reports. Should the "Britain's Got Talent" runner-up return to the hot spot, the dance queen has to be satisfied only by sitting at No. 2, rising two slots from this week's position.
Susan Boyle was recently snubbed by BRIT Awards at this year's nominations list despite the fact that she sold million copies with her debut album. "I think it's a crime," said Ged Doherty, who is the head of Susan's recording company Sony.
As for Lady GaGa, the singer who has scooped multiple awards over the course of 2008 and 2009 leads the pack with three nods along with Lily Allen, JLS, Pixie Lott and Florence and the Machine. She is nominated for International Female Solo Artist, International Album and International Breakthrough Act.

Overview - 2011 Yearly Horoscope
2011 Chinese Horoscopes
12 Chinese Zodiac Signs in the Year of the Metal Rabbit
The Chinese New Year 4709 falls in spring February 3 2011. Those born on February 4th of this year belong to the sign of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. The western calendar year 2011 is the Chinese New Year 4709, and is the Year of the Metal Rabbit, that represents the fourth year in the 12 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
Chinese Zodiac uses 12 animal signs to predict people's fortune. The twelve animals are Rat, Cow, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog and Pig. The 12 Chinese zodiac signs are determined by people's birth year. Most of Internet Chinese horoscope sites use Chinese New Year Day to determine the Chinese zodiac sign, which is wrong.
The metal Rabbit year is compatible signs born in the year 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011. These signs are expected to reap good luck or good fortune during this year. The rabbit a domesticated animal is gentle and calm but panics easily.
Besides using astrology animal signs basic fighting and attraction relationships, Chinese zodiac also uses Chinese astrology constellations, which are the way ancient Chinese grouped the stars in the sky, to predict the coming fortune. More than 100 stars are using in the Chinese zodiac. The common use ones are about 60. Each star has different characteristics. Basically, they can be divided into Lucky Stars and Unlucky Stars, which are the major factors to predict people good or bad luck in the coming year.
Rabbit is swift, agile, tricky, and always alert. Therefore Rabbit can survive in the Tiger's kingdom. 2010 is Metal Tiger year. Metal brings pressure on Rabbit. But Rabbit can become more confident when Tiger is around. This is a fair year to Rabbit people. There are no strong lucky signs shown in the career and money area, but the opportunity still exists. It's required to have the wisdom to catch it. Health shouldn't have any problem, because a lucky Sun Star connected with health in 2010. Women have better love opportunity or relationship than men. Rabbit people need to follow the rules and watch their words and deeds to avoid the damage in business, people or love relationships.
Career: The Sun Star comes into Rabbit people's life to show the light of hope in 2010. But the road of career is not completely smooth. Rabbit people will be busy on the activities related to career in this year. That means there is career opportunity there. It might be required some degree of challenge to handle the pressure. Tiger year implies that your friends, coworkers, siblings or same generation people are always around you to guide you to solve the problems. If you need people's help, then you need good people relationship. If you don't treat people well, then your career opportunity will be ruined by your enemy or yourself. The friendship or business relationship is the key to succeed in 2010 for Rabbit people. If you are female without a job, then the major activity might be something to do with your boy friend, husband or law related issue.
Money: Money luck is good to Rabbit people in 2010. Money is always connected with job and friends. The major income for Rabbit people this year is from stable salary, not from lottery or any windfall. If you own your business, then you need good people relationships to expand your business market. By asking the advice from friends or experts, you can do different investment in different area to create multiple income from different sources. Rabbit people's money luck in the Tiger year is still limited. You cannot win it all. Therefore, you shouldn't be greedy for any risky investment or short term gambling.
Love: This is not a smooth year for men in love relationship. The love competition or misunderstanding will appear in 2010. You should focus on people emotion. You need to spend more time to read people's mind. Do not indulge yourself in luxury, wine and love. To ignore people's feeling will damage your love relationship. If you are a single female, then you have more chance to meet the opposite sex. If you have a boy friend, then you will have a closer relationship. But you still have to avoid unnecessary quarrels.
Health: Tiger brings a sick sign to Rabbit people. Your increase of social activities will make you exhausted. When you feel weak, then you need to take a rest to recover your energy as soon as possible. Try not to visit sick people or attend any funeral. The good news for Rabbit people is there is Sun Star appearing in their life. Any that is uncomfortable shouldn't develop into a big problem. If you have poor health since last year, then your health will have a good improvement in 2010. When you are driving or on the street, you need to focus on your safety to prevent from injury.
Fortune: There is more good signs than bad signs for Rabbit people in 2010. The major event for men is the career. The major issue for women is career or boyfriend or spouse. This is a year to show your intelligence, not your courage only. Rabbit people need to outsmart the Tiger. So Tiger would like to be in their side. If Tiger is smarter than Rabbit, then both career and money pressures come together to them. In general, Rabbit people need to focus on people connection in order to gain better career opportunity, higher financial return and closer love relationship. The health of Rabbit people should be fine in 2010. But they have to pay attention on the health of elders in their families.Click on your Chinese zodiac sign or birth year below to peek your fortune of Career, Money Love and Health in 2011, year of metal rabbit.
World Forecast 2011, the Chinese year of the Yin Metal Rabbit (or Hare) - 3rd February 2011 to the 22nd January 2012
Although the world economy will technically be out of recession, many countries will still be marred in debt and subject to high taxation. Unrest will grow and governments will be forced to place their dometic agendas above the demands of international co-operation. This will place great strain upon the European Community, the Russian Federation, the Chinese Communist Party and the economic co-operation between Canada, the USA and Mexico.
This is because the Yin Metal Rabbit is an introspective, home loving pacifist with a sharp business acumen who will ensure the preservation of his own creature comforts to the exclusion of outsiders. It is a year in which the family will come first. Expect moves by some States in the USA and China to demand greater autonomy, and for pressure to grow in Britain to withdraw from the European Community.(Read More..)

Canterbury's $850,000 per season splurge on Andrew Fifita is set to pave the way for George Burgess to become the NRL's first $1 million prop.
Still only 21 years of age and with just one full NRL season for South Sydney under his belt, Burgess has been tipped to become one of the game's best frontrowers.
The 2013 NRL rookie of the year was rated the No.2 prop in the entire competition, according to Sports Data's Contributor Value Ranking system, which placed him between Fifita and fellow Englishman James Graham, who re-signed last week with the Bulldogs for $700,000 per season.
Having since played for England in the World Cup and with elder brother Sam leaving at the end of the season to play rugby union, Burgess's profile is set to grow as he takes on more of a leadership role in the Rabbitohs forward pack.
"I have signed up for another three years so I see myself being a big part of the club in the future," Burgess said of his leadership aspirations. "With Sam going, it is a big spot to fill and I can only try my best to fill that."
When his contract expires in 2016, Burgess will be the same age that Fifita is now and if his rate of improvement continues many in the game believe he will be even more valuable than the 24-year-old Cronulla prop, who will join Canterbury next season on a four-year deal worth $3.4 million.
While some have criticised the Bulldogs for paying frontrowers the type of money previously reserved for halfbacks, Souths secondrower Ben Te'o is one who wouldn't begrudge Burgess becoming the first prop to earn $1 million per season.
"Potentially he could be the best frontrower in the game," Te'o said. "What he does for us week in and week out, and his stats - what he runs for and breaking tackles - there are not many frontrowers in the game doing that right now, and it is crazy that he is only 21.
"I can't believe he is that big and he has got footwork. He is probably one of our fittest guys at our club and he is also very explosive and big, which is a very rare mix.
"Personally I am glad to see that these frontrowers are getting the big pay days. People say I wouldn't spend that much, well I would - they are the foundation of your team. You look at what Glenn Lazarus did for the Broncos when he went there so it is good to see some of the big, ugly frontrowers getting that Hollywood money."
Rabbitohs captain John Sutton added: "George is just going from one level to the next. He has a big motor, he runs hard and he tackles hard. He had a great season last season and he came back more mature from the World Cup. He is one of the most dominating frontrowers in the game and he is only 21 so he has still got plenty to learn but look at the size if him - he is just a beast."
England's World Cup team manager Barrie-Jon Mather, who now works for the NSWRL, has known of George's potential since he starred for the England Academy team that recorded a 2-0 series defeat of the touring Australian schoolboys in 2010.
"He just terrorised them," Mather recalled. He was a little kid in a big kid's body. He wasn't too far off the size he is now but just didn't have the engine he has got now. In short bursts he was unbelievable and now he has got the engine to go with it and go the full 80 minutes. To carry 120kg around for as long as he does and as fast as he does is incredible."
England coach Steve McNamara believes the key to Burgess's rapid rise was the time he spent in the Rabbitohs under 20s and playing NSW Cup for North Sydney before playing three NRL games in 2012.
"In England, he could have quite easily been thrust into first team matches in that first 12 months when he didn't even play NRL for Souths and his development would have probably become secondary to him winning games so I think that was a real key to George's progression," McNamara said. "He was great for us in the World Cup and hopefully he is going to be great for many years to come."
Despite the heartache of England's last minute semi-final defeat by New Zealand, Burgess considers representing his country in front of 75,000 fans at Wembley as one of the highlights of his career so far.
He was a member of the England team in all five of the host nation's World Cup matches and teammates say he has grown in confidence from the experience of playing and training with the likes of Graham and Kevin Sinfield.
"I think that is just from being around the high quality players and playing against really good teams such as Australia and New Zealand," Burgess said. "That is only going to make you better and you have got to take stuff from it and learn from it. That is why players improve after experiences like that.
"Unfortunately we didn't get the prize at the end which we all wanted but it was a good experience and you can use those experiences when you play in big games in the future."

Optical metrology techniques used to measure changes in thickness; temperature and refractive index are surveyed. Optical heterodyne detection principle and its applications for precision measurements of changes in thickness and temperature are discussed. Theoretical formulations are developed to estimate crystal growth rate, surface roughness and laser cooling/heating of solids. Applications of Michelson and Mach-Zehnder interferometers to measure temperature changes in laser heating of solids are described. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used to measure refractive index and concentration variations of solutions in crystal growth experiments. Additionally, fluorescence lifetime sensing and fluorescence ratio method are described for temperature measurement. For all the above techniques, uncertainty calculations are included.
Optical testing/assessment of optical surfaces are usually done using interferometers. So, a series of interferometers were designed based on the division of amplitude or wavefront [
Temperature is an important parameter in many industrial environments [
Interferometry has applications in science and industry including precision surface topography, film growth monitoring, temperature sensing, and concentration mapping [
Optical measurements involve the detection of light. Any parameter that changes with temperature, for example, changes in emission intensity, lifetime, optical path length or phase of an electromagnetic wave can be used to estimate the sample temperature. Raman scattering is the principle behind the operation of distributed temperature sensing (DTS) device [
In general, a typical interferometer involves two beams of which one is a reference beam and the other is a measurement beam. Measurement beam either gets reflected or passes through the material under investigation. Depending on the application, these experiments can be setup in several different configurations. We will review some unique applications of optical heterodyne interferometer in this section. Interferometry deals with either fringe counting or phase measurement [

Rare-earth luminescence is used to estimate sample temperature. For this purpose the system has to be calibrated. So, luminescence spectra and lifetimes were measured as a function of sample temperature. A sample compartment was machined at one end of an iron rod of 0.0254 m diameter, and 0.3 m in length. The rod was inserted into a tube furnace except for the sample chamber that remains outside (

Optical frequencies are of the order of 6 × 1014 Hz or larger. When such a wave falls on a detector, it does not respond to such fast variations. So, the detector output is a DC current whose amplitude is proportional to the intensity of light (
Conceptual diagram of optical heterodyne detection. Rectangle represents the detector.
ΔΘ is measured by the experiment. The wavelength has to be divided by the refractive index of the medium if the sample is in a solution whose refractive index is more than 1. OPTRALITE laser head provides the 250 kHz rf frequency for reference purposes. For a HP laser the reference beam has to be derived from a detector output. The reference and measurement rf frequencies (detector outputs) are given to the two inputs of a HP 3575A phase meter, whose output (in DC volts) is proportional to the phase difference between the two rf inputs.
We applied this technique for crystal growth rate measurement [
The experimental configuration for the measurement of surface roughness of coated mirrors is different from that of crystal growth rate measurement. For this experiment, a HP Zeeman laser was used. Reference rf wave was generated by mixing the optical waves (10% of the laser power) in a detector. Measurement rf wave was generated by launching the beams to an air-lifted mirror that can be rotated (
A block diagram of the optical heterodyne detection setup for surface roughness measurement. Inset shows the beam configuration on the mirror surface [
For the measurement of temperature changes in laser heating or cooling experiments, the heterodyne technique works equally well. However, the mathematical formulation is entirely different which is described below. Whenever a material is heated or cooled its length as well as refractive index change. A measurement of optical path length variation of a beam, which passes through the material, reveals the sample temperature change. So, prior knowledge of the temperature dependence of the material's refractive index and thermal expansion coefficient is needed. For the implementation of optical heterodyne technique a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration (

Best theaters for classic films
Go back in time at these theaters.
Museum of the Moving Image (rendering of main theater to be completed fall 2010)
Film Forum
Film Society of Lincoln Center
1. Film Forum
The city's richest repertory programming—ranging from freshly minted 35mm prints of French New Wave favorites to pre-Code Hollywood rarities—is not to be missed. 209 W Houston St between Sixth Ave and Varick St (212-727-8110, filmforum.org)
2. The Film Society of Lincoln Center
The Society digs up amazing finds, typically themed to a specific regional culture or undervalued talent. Walter Reade Theater, 70 Lincoln Center Plaza between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave (212-875-5600, filmlinc.com)
3. Museum of the Moving Image
Even if the programming weren't solid (thankfully, it is), the museum atmosphere alone—displays of old projectors, Bill Cosby's sweaters—makes this schlep to Queens worth the effort. Currently, while the museum is undergoing renovations, only a small screening room is in use, but come fall, the main theater and its full range of quality programming will be back. 35th Ave at 36th St, Astoria, Queens (718-784-0077, movingimage.us)
4. Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
Whether it's Fritz Lang flicks of the '20s or gonzo musicals of the early '80s, MoMA usually has something fascinating on tap, and the experience is enriched when screenings are tied to its exhibits. 11 53rd St between Fifth and Sixth Aves (212-708-9480, moma.org)
Best movie theaters in New York City
I wanted to introduce a young friend to the films of Fellini and Truffaut on the screen, and was shocked to discover that none of the so called Classic film theaters list these. It seemed to me there used to be places that listed these and other film greats of the forties, fifties and sixties, French, Italian, etc. any night of the week.. The Thalia, for one. I've been around a long time and time's changed and there are thousands of more recent "classics" but I still feel these Film Giants should be seen by younger generations.
Are there e-mail mailing lists for CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1930's - 1950's for these and other theaters in New York City? My friends and I like the genre of classic films shown on PBS-TV Channel 13 EVERY Saturday night at 9 PM and would like to view them on the large screens available in movie theaters . . . we'd like to attend viewings together. Our preferences include MUSICALS, DRAMAS, SUSPENSE, and ROMANCE.

CHICAGO (AP) - Cleveland Indians pitchers David Huff, Frank Herrmann and Josh Judy all learned valuable lessons about keeping the ball down.
Brent Morel hit two homers and Paul Konerko had a grand slam, lifting the Chicago White Sox to an 8-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night.
Morel hit a solo shot off starter Huff (2-4) in the third and a three-run homer off Herrmann in the seventh - both on the first pitch. It was Morel's first career multi-homer game and his four RBIs were a career-high.
``I came in and tried to get ahead of the guy and left a pitch out over the plate and he got on top of it,' Herrmann said.
Konerko's grand slam came off Judy and capped Chicago's seven-run seventh.
``I was just trying to throw a slider away and I ended up hanging it,' Judy said. ``Hats off to Konerko. I made a mistake and he took it deep.'
Konerko said he wasn't looking for a particular pitch.
``I was just trying to get the ball up and get something out to the outfield,' Konerko said. ``Just one of those, he threw and I hit. You don't really know what you did.'
Huff gave up three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings, striking out five, as the Indians lost their fourth straight.
``You leave the ball up and these guys are going to hit it out,' Huff said. ``I told (Herrmann) to keep his head up and you'll probably be in there tomorrow or the next day and be ready to go.'
Gavin Floyd struck out four and held Cleveland to one run and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. Matt Thornton (1-4) retired all four batters he faced, striking out three.
``We couldn't get anything going offensively,' Indians manager Manny Acta said. ``We don't match up very good against Floyd. He's had a lot of success against us this season. And their bullpen came in and shut us down.'
Both clubs were recently swept by first-place Detroit, giving the Tigers a commanding lead in the AL Central and virtually reducing this weekend's series into a battle for second place.
Putting a further damper on a matchup that had lost its once-anticipated luster, a misty rain began to blow across the field during the top of the third and fell for much of the game.
The small, subdued crowd at U.S. Cellular Field saved its biggest cheers for Cleveland's Jim Thome, whose RBI single in the first scored Asdrubal Cabrera for the game's first run.
The White Sox honored Thome in a ceremony before the game in recognition of his 600th career homer, which he hit on Aug. 15. Thome, who played for Chicago from 2006 to 2009, also received a standing ovation before his first plate appearance.
Morel tied the game with a homer to left-center in the bottom of third.
Later in the inning, Juan Pierre singled for his 2,000th career hit, also earning a nice ovation as he tipped his cap. Pierre, 34, became the 268th big-leaguer to reach the milestone.
Despite holding the Indians to one run, Floyd fell behind a number of hitters working from a slippery mound, running up his pitch count. At one point in the sixth, he requested that the field crew come out and apply sand around the pitching rubber.
Floyd departed after throwing 112 pitches, giving way to Will Ohman, who got Thome on an inning-ending grounder with a runner on first.
Huff pitched into the seventh, when he allowed a walk and a single to begin the inning. He struck out Tyler Flowers before giving way to Herrmann. Morel hammered his first pitch into the left-field bleachers.
``For Dave's sake, the team, everybody, I wanted to come in there and get a double play, or get out of the inning for us,' Herrmann said. ``I thought Huff pitched great. He definitely deserved a better fate. It's definitely disappointing for me.'
Herrmann allowed a walk and a single before being replaced by Josh Judy, who hit Brent Lillibridge with a pitch and gave up Konerko's grand slam. The White Sox scored seven runs on just four hits in the inning.
NOTES: Cleveland rookie 2B Jason Kipnis, a Northbrook, Ill., native, singled in his first big-league game in his hometown. He was injured the last time the Indians were in Chicago. ... Indians manager Manny Acta said 1B Matt LaPorta would likely be back with the club in the ``next couple of days.' The former first-round pick was sent to Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 29 after struggling to a .238 average in 97 games. ... Cleveland's Jeanmar Gomez will square off against Chicago's Mark Buehrle on Friday. Buehrle allowed a season-high eight runs in his last outing.

I was sad to read that the Parents Television Council rates "The Bachelor" (ABC, Monday, 8 p.m.) as possibly the worst prime-time show for children. Really, it's, like, the BEST SHOW EVER for kids, full of instructive moments to help them on the road to adulthood.
I mean, OK, yes, there are parts children will not like, such as when this season's Bachelor, Ben Flajnik, above, kisses girls on the lips and makes yucky smooching noises. EWWWW!
But let's focus on the positive. Little girls get interesting ideas about future careers, like "VIP Cocktail Waitress" and "Dental Consultant." Little boys learn what to say to impress the opposite sex, like, "Tell me more about you."
Children, do you know how to tell that someone is lying? When they say, "I'm not gonna lie …"
Another important lesson: Be neat! One girl says, "I found [a lady's] underwear in the bed" of a previous boyfriend.
And children will see that adults are really just big kids! Blakely, a waitress, is mean to other girls. Then she goes in another room and curls into a ball in the corner. Why is Blakely doing that? She is giving herself a TIME-OUT!

|Employment unlikely to be affected by Q1 slowdown: unionists
By Valerie Tan/Dominique Loh, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : The Trade and Industry Ministry says Singapore's economy grew by 2.4 percent in the first quarter of this year compared to the first quarter of last year.
Its preliminary estimates also show that the economy shrank by 5.8 percent from the previous quarter.
How will this affect employment and wages?
The slower economic growth for the first quarter was not unexpected, especially since growth last year was quite spectacular.
But unionists were surprised by the extent of the slowdown.
Said Nithiah Nadan, NTUC vice president, "This is anticipated because we expect this year's growth to be around 4 to 5 percent. Compared to last year's high growth, this is expected. But we didn't expect the growth level to go down so low in the first quarter.
"What a lot of us expected was around 3 to 3.5 percent, but it went down to 2.4 percent. But this is just a flash estimate and I believe when the actual figures come out, it will be slightly higher."
They also believe employment is unlikely to be affected, especially in the biomedical sector; it is a capital intensive industry with low employment, so companies are unlikely to cut jobs.
As for whether this slowdown will affect wages and bonuses, union workers are hoping it won't, particularly since the National Wages Council will make wage recommendations soon.
Mr Nithiah Nadan said, "We don't expect it to be similar to last year, but nevertheless those companies which have done well and which have actually benefited from last year's high economic growth should reward their worker for all the sacrifices they made.
"Many companies are still very healthy, in the last couple of months and last year. So this is the time for them to reward (workers), and I hope NWC will reflect this viewpoint."
Unionists are cautioning workers to moderate their expectations as the rest of the year could prove to be volatile because of rising fuel prices. - CNA
