Help with plug in ...... block heater
So, it just got really cold here & I took my plug out for the first time to plug it in & it's tripping the breaker. I tried in multiple outlets & it trips every time. It has never been used so I don't know what's going on.
Is it a short? Any advice would greatly be appreciated!
EricaI love my new 2005 Silverado 2500HD LT and...............
My next vehicle will be a 2006 Duramax Hummer H1 wagon :love:
12-15-2008, 10:15 PM #2FYI for our southern friends... I believe Erica is talking about the block heater's wall outlet plug.
Erica- All I can suggest if that you have a good look at the wiring you can see and make sure there are no frays, missing or cracked insulation. It sounds as though you've got a short and the easiest thing I can suggest is that you check to make sure you don't have bare wire touching bare metal, two bare wires rubbing each other, etc etc.
12-15-2008, 10:22 PM #3Yeah, I didn't know what to call it.
Hmmm, ok.....tomorrow I will check & maybe take it to the GM dealership. Do you know if something like this would be covered on a bumper to bumper warranty?
12-15-2008, 10:31 PM #4Good question and I have no idea! I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. If it's not covered, then you are looking at a very minimal expense, really. I guess it all depends on whether the problem is with the heater itself or the wires leading to it. It's conceivable that you've been having a wire rubbing on a metal edge or sharp edge somewhere. Or.... mouse attack!
I'd say it's more than likely that whatever the problem is it will be covered on a bumper to bumper.
Remember I'm no expert.. and there could be someone to come on that might offer a lot more help then I.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out!
12-15-2008, 11:38 PM #5I assume ur using an extension cord so first make sure it isn't the problem(freys, cracks,barewires etc.) Then trace the block heater cable to the motor looking for the same things including cleaning the actual plug so the prongs are shiny. as for your warranty it should be covered

12-16-2008, 12:42 AM #6^Oh! I didn't think to check the extension cord. Willl do in the morning! Thanks guys!
12-16-2008, 11:17 AM #8Hopefully it's something simple. I plug mine in every night. Something else that helps in cold weather is turning on your high idle. I see yours is an LT so I'm hoping you have the redundant radio controls on your steering wheel and can access your DIC (Driver's Information Center) as well. When I push the button "i" it says "VEHICLE SETTINGS" and you can keep hitting the button to scroll through options until it says "ENGINE HIGH IDLE-OFF" and then hit the <- return button below to change it to "ON" . What that does is increases the idle to around 1000rpm's when it's cold at start-up.

12-16-2008, 12:01 PM #9I already use the high idle & it does work great but the other morning when I started it, it whined so bad & didn't sound right. It's really cold here.
12-16-2008, 01:17 PM #10I'm confused. I tried this morning again with that extension cord & it tripped. Then, I tried a different cord & it didn't trip. THEN, I tried plugging something else in with the original cord & it worked fine.
So, that cord doesn't like my truck or something but I'm just happy my truck is good to go!
Thanks for everyone's help!

I was called onto this morning's Maz, Dan and Shane breakfast show on Nova 919, to do a bit of dream detective work on the embarrassing dream Maz had just shared with the listeners.
"I woke up when Josh Pyke mooned me and my new personal trainer," she laughed. She had the dream the night after her introductory PT session, and she was doubtful that she'd be able to keep a straight face during her second session later today.
In the dream, she and her new PT went to a gig at an amphitheatre near her old primary school, to hear Australian singer-songwriter Josh Pyke. When she went up to the stage to introduce Josh Pyke to her PT, he mooned them.
Nova style radio means getting to the – ahem – bottom line pretty swiftly, give or take a bit of banter.
"If you want to succeed with your exercise goals, you'll need to understand your mooning attitude," I began, perhaps mysteriously. "Which three words would you use to describe Josh Pyke's personality?"
"Chilled out, a chiller, friendly," Maz replied.
"So there's a chilled out part of you that feels like mooning your PT," I suggested. "And because your primary school comes up in the dream, this probably goes back to how you felt about training and discipline back in your primary school days."
"I was 110% committed at primary school," Maz observed.
Every aspect has its shadow – or balance – and for committed, disciplined people there's always a chilled out side hanging in the shadows. Sometimes we're driven to extremes (like 110% discipline) by a fear of the opposite extreme (totally chilled out).
Things began to click for Maz. In her introductory session, her PT had discussed nutrition, and she said she began to think, "Oh, no! I'll have to give up booze, foods I love …". She could relate to the feeling of mooning the whole PT idea in favour of chilling out. But by the time she went to bed, she said she'd decided to "110%" commit to her personal training goals.
Maz's dream reflects the way her mind processed all of this – as all dreams do.
I pointed out some dream word play: her introductory PT session became, in the dream, an introduction to her PT.
Dreams cleverly convey levels of meaning and visual word play, and I suggested to Maz that the mooning may reflect deeper feelings of being quite happy with her butt the way it is (assuming her training also targeted this area).
I returned to the opening bottom line.
"If you want to succeed with your exercise goals, you'll need to understand your mooning attitude. Giving your PT 110% discipline may lead to burn out. Better to add some balance, to add some chill, to get the right mix to make it fun and achievable, and maybe, just maybe, to factor in being happy with your butt the way it is."
Maz related to this, and I'm sure the memory of the dream mooning incident will bring a chuckle and a chill factor to her workout this afternoon.

Death, to most people, is a fairly abstract concept. Pathologists, though, deal with the physical reality of death. They face daily reminders that the human body is easily broken. Reminders that every one of us has an expiration date.
Pathology, a new horror-thriller which came out in limited release on April 18th, gives us a look at a group of medical students that deal with death by pushing their own lives to the limits. Drugs, twisted sex and murder are just recreational activities for these characters.
"We've numbed ourselves to what death is to many people - to whatever that provokes," says Michael Weston, who plays Dr. Jake Gallo. "And that numbness has caused us to try and find out what really makes us alive. My character has a bunch of friends that he corrals into this 'game' of murder. "(read more...)
The camera slides on a track, following actor Michael Weston as he pontificates to his fellow pathologists. A murder victim lies on a slab in the center of the room. Like so many detectives before them, these characters are trying to figure out the cause of death. Unlike most murder mysteries, though, they're not trying to bring the killer to justice. In fact, the killer is sitting in the room, drinking a beer and watching the proceedings with a smug look. For these pathology students, killing is a game - a way to show off their smarts. Who among them can commit the perfect murder; a death so subtle that their fellow killers can't even detect the cause?(read more...)

Sand Point Grill
Online Reservations
We invited 3 guests with us for the first time and overall we enjoyed our evening. 1 guest wasn't as impressed with their selection for dinner and dessert. I think their expection for what they ordered was much different than what they got. Very typical but nothing wrong with the entree or dessert. But the rest of us were happy with everything. It was a busy Friday night but the service is always responsive and great. I appreciate the warm welcome and eager to get you seated! Thank you.
The Sand Point Grill never disappoints. The food is always fantastic and beautifully presented. The choices on the "3 for $28" menu were excellent.
I showed up long after my guest and didn't announce myself or the reservation BTW. I was seated quickly and needed to be out of there in an hour. The food was very good, service quick and responsive in spite of what looked like a full house on a Tues. night! Nice ambiance. Wish I'd had more time to enjoy it. It's a bit on the pricey side but no complaints.
Truly a neighborhood gem. Service is outstanding, ambience is very family friendly, always a good IPA on tap. Wish the quality of food was equal to other aspects of restaurant.
great new place to go in our same old neighborhood. wish we had noticed sooner that this is such a good, and for us, super convenient place for dinner
This was our first time dining with Sand Point Grill and was a pleasant surprise. We chose it for its location, but the food was very good. The braised beef short ribs were very nicely done, with house made gnocchi. My wife had Spaghetti Carbonara that was also nicely done. The mushroom bisque was outstanding as was the beet salad. We were a bit disappointed with the desserts, not bad, but not up to the entrees. Overall, quite a pleasant surprise, with what I'd call upscale pub food.
What a wonderful place to drop in when dinner just didn't get on the table. Good prices, great food, warm friendly service. We'll be back again soon!
Just what a neighborhood dinning establishment should be, great food, reasonable prices, excellent service. Where was the last place you dinned and had the owner / chef come out and greet people at their tables?
My niece had brain surgery so I took my family in here the night before because it was close to Childrens. There were 7 of us including kids but we were treated very well. Our server was patient and professional. The food was perfect and was fit for sophisticated palettes and my mothers simple tastes simultaneously. I couldn't be happier with my experience.
I'm so lucky to be able to claim this neighborhood gem! The food is always wonderful -- steak, fish, light, vegan -- they have it all with a wonderful mix of favorites that are almost always available as seasonal treats. The cold corn soup with peaches and feta was amazing. Salivating just remembering it. And, I've never had an off meal or a combination of ingredients that did not work == recipes must be lovingly tested before they are presented to the dinners (thank you!).
This was a little gem that we picked out due to its proximity to a location we were visiting. Now, we go out of our way at least once per month to visit. The waitstaff are friendly and remember us...so it truly is a "Cheers" experience. We've seen folks of all ages, kids to grandparents here. The food is good, with a Chef's special that is always interesting. I LOVE the Fish Tacos from the appetrizer menu. A great little bar area, booths and tables...only wish it were closer to home!
Picked this restaurant on the spur of the moment. Arrived exactly on time and had to wait a bit for a table. Staff was very pleasant. My son had the basic cheese burger with outstanding fries, I had the pan fried salmon special, and my husband had the house schnitzel. We ate every bit. NOTE to families who might be in Sand Point visiting Children's Hospital: This seems like a good place to get away. Definitely child friendly. The staff was overtly friendly to such a group while we were there.
My wife and I were at an event in the Sand Point area and thought we'd stop in for appetizers and drinks. Glad we did. Appetizers were pleasant and the drink menu had many unique and interesting cocktails to choose from, as well as a good selection of beers and wines. Being there made us wish we lived in that area because it looked like a lot of the customers had wandered down from the surrounding neighborhoods to spend some time together. It felt very warm and friendly, two words that also describe the service. We'll be back.
We've been eating at Sand Point Grill for a number of years and love the menu, the preparations, the bar (they make great cocktails!). The wine list has something really good for every taste. The staff are wonderful, welcoming and friendly, attentive and yet unobtrusive. We've chosen it for several very special occasions, too and even with a larger group they make it work!! Lovely people, lovely place to dine!
This place is a gem. A great find that has become my favorite eatery in town.
This was our second time dining here and it won't be the last. It is a neighborhood restaurant where you feel like you already know everyone. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming and they are great with kids. When we were there on Saturday it was very busy but the service did not suffer except for a bit of a wait for our drinks. One of the best things they do when you have a child with you is to immediately bring them a nice plate of fruit and vegetables which is so helpful and appreciated. Our granddaughter had a great time. Our dinners, including my husband's very generous Ceasar salad, were delicious. I loved my sausage plate with onions and polenta. It was a perfect dinner for a cool fall evening.
This place was recommended to me for its delicious burgers. And they were delicious! My lemondrop martini was also well made and fresh tasting. We were running late for our reservation and they were very willing to accommodate us. The service was good, not excellent. No one was rude, but I enjoy the restaurant experience more when servers are a little more talkative. Our food came out before our drinks-because we were making a show after dinner this was fine but any other time it would have been nice to get our drinks and have some time with them before the food came out. We are definitely looking forward to going back and trying some more items on the menu.
Such a great find just outside of the Seattle downtown. There seemed to be a lot of returning locals, which was a good sign, the food was so tasty, we would return time and again if we lived locally. Will visit the Sand Point Grill next time we are in Seattle, thumbs up indeed.
This delightful spot, tucked into a low profile unassuming building, in the Sand Point area might just become one of my favorite places. Had it not been for the promotion of Seattle Restaurant week, with it's three courses for 28 deal, I might never have "found" this place. Can't wait to go back and try the regular selections. The menu looks varied with choices for all your party, and the wine list while short in stature, offers wines at a substantially lower price than I have seen at other places. We will return.
We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and there was already a line forming on a busy Friday night (my husband's birthday). We were immediatley shown to our waiting table. Food was great, interestly presented, and arrived quckly, but not too quickly. The service was excellent and the staff's sense of humor and unruffled demeanor was refreshing.
I've been there twice now. Both meals were outstanding. I look forward to returning.
Decided to go because of the Restaurant Week special. Was not disappointed and was very satisfied with the meal. The service was spot on and the ambience was nice.
We had a reservation and we were seated immediately. Our waiter was warm, engaging yet efficient and meeting our every need including making wise choices in terms of food and wine. The food was the best of the 3 restaurants I ate at during Seattle Restaurant Week. Their menu for this celebrated week showcased their culinary excellence like none other. My filet mignon was perfect. It melted in my mouth. Lovely. I look forward to spending many evenings in Sand Point Grill
The food is always high quality and delicious. The service is also very good and the place is kid-friendly with a good menu for the little ones.
Our group of five all enjoyed our choices from the varied menu. Elegant comfort food from burgers to fried chicken to cioppino. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list and graciously handled the allergy issues in our group. It's a good "meet in the middle spot for our north end/southend group and we plan to go back.
Great Reuben for only $10 and being a big eater, it is hard to finish.
Exceptional service from our waitress, even though it was a busy Friday night! We were disappointed that the Braised Ribs were not available, another night's special, however, everyone found something desirable on the menu, and no one was disappointed.
Great menu ranging from healthy, lighter dishes to good ol' comfort food. I had the cioppino, chock full of tender and tasty fresh fish, crab, scallops, etc. My wife had a pasta ragout of slow-roasted beef and lamb that was also excellent. Although I couldn't eat all of my stew, I was enviously eyeing my daughter's burger topped with wide, juicy bacon strips; I scored the last bite when she couldn't fit it all in. Didn't have room for dessert this time, but they've got a great pastry chef here, so think about saving some room on your first visit. Lots of neighborhood regulars in here, which I always take as a good sign. Service was a little too relaxed on our recent visit, but certainly gracious and pleasant. A real gem, in my view.
The menu is fabulous: variety, inventive, including excellent attention to vegetables (delicious!), so many things I'd like to have it was hard to choose. Tad bit noisy for my taste, but I'm always wanting to enjoy a conversation. Great service.Very fresh ingredients.

Open Access and Scholarly Communication: The Current Landscape, Future Direction, and the Influence on Global Scholarship
Date: October 2011
Creator: Alemneh, Daniel Gelaw; Hastings, Samantha Kelly; Hawamdeh, Suliman M.; McLean, Austin & Rorissa, Abebe
Description: This paper discusses open access and scholarly communication. Abstract: The synergies of numerous emerging trends such as the development of open source software, global and explosive growth of social networking, interinstitutional data sharing, cross discipline collaborations, etc. provide new directions for scholarship. The rapid pace of development poses new threats and challenges to scholarly communication as well. Open access is increasingly viewed as a popular alternative to traditional distribution methods. Despite the overwhelming agreement regarding the concept of open access, there are however, significant differences and debate about a number of issues. This panel brings together diverse stakeholders, explores the current landscape and future direction of scholarly communication, and reflects on the overall implications on global scholarship.

Crocodile Isle Inflatable Water Park is a swamp play paradise! Kids climb up the Crocodile's foot, where they can slide down his tail, or if they're brave enough, slide right down his snout! Even better - your little adventurers can race each other to the huge splash lagoon. Once they escape the Croc, watch them splash happily in the crocodile lagoon, or dare to tempt the Croc again! Kids lounge on the island platform, or climb on up, where sprayers spray down on both slides. It's got plenty of room for a fun party. Kids love keeping cool in the croc lagoon, or sliding down the twisty splash slides. Friends and family can join in to beat the heat, or enter the race! Up to 5 kids can play in the Crocodile Isle at once! When the fun is over, the Crocodile hibernates in the included carry case. This beast inflates in just seconds! It's super durable and keeps kids entertained all day long. After a long expedition to the Crocodile Isle, kids will sleep soundly throughout the night! The slides and pool are manufactured using commercial grade PVC materials for extra durability, while X-Weave Materials keep the Crocodile Isle Inflatable Water Park light enough to set up and move easily. Please follow use and care, and be sure to thoroughly dry you water park before storage. The Crocodile Isle includes Blast Zone's Industry-Leading Warranty. Each Blast Zone inflatable includes the inflatable unit, a UL approved blower a carrying case, stakes for the blower and stakes for the bouncer. The inflatable unit rolls up to about the size of a medium to large sleeping bag (depending on bouncer). To set up the bouncer, just unroll it, hook the inflation tube to the blower, turn on the blower and stake it down. The blower runs continuously while kids play, and air escapes through the seams and fabric. Play balls are not included.

This was so easy to set up and everything came so quickly. A little more difficult to put away but no different than our other inflatable water slide. I love the two slides so they don't need to fight over who is going down. Also the pool is large so children in the pool are not in the way of other children sliding.

My daughter saved up all of her birthday money to buy this. When we got it home it was still too cold to use but knowing the warranty spec's we went ahead and inflated it to check for holes and to ensure the blower motor worked. This product is VERY VERY hard to dry out. There is no drain for the water and once it is filled it is very heavy to drain. The company recommends letting it dry in the sun prior to storage or it will get moldy. We let it dry in the sun and the product completely faded! (this wasn't even during the summer months, it was April!) The entire thing has completely faded and worn. It now looks like it is 5 years old and we have had it less than 30 days, and NEVER even used it! I wrote the company as this product was less than 30 days old and their reply stated that they could not accept any returns on opened products, and cannot provide a refund. They advised me to go back to Toys R US. That was it! BEWARE. Hopefully you do not have any issues as even if you follow the recommended procedures the company will NOT stand behind this. Very dissapointing for a product that is pretty expensive.

Great Big Fun for the Kids

Comments about Epic International Enterprises 1010436 Blast Zone Crocodile Isle Inflatable Water Park:
We bought this item for our twin 6-yr. olds for the summer since we don't have a pool. Our main objective was the ability to have 4-6 kids over playing on it and it holding up. Well my kids and their friends have put it to the test and it has passed with flying colors. The structure is BIG, but not overwhelming. Many other structures have weight limitations that will allow only 2 kids to play on it at a time. We had 4 kids on the upper area no problem. The product is very well constructed. The majority of it is thick nylon with thicker rubber for the actual slides. It inflates in 1-2 minutes and I could not be happier. My only suggestion would be to add a drain valve for the water/pool area so that it could drain faster.

First time up this summer and I absolutely loved it. Easy to set up, easy to dry out and the kids had hours of fun today. Looking forward to many more years. Have bought water blow up structures before but this one far exceeded expectations . Better material, better layout and so much fun. Having a extended warranty option is huge and I feel this product will live up to it and them some. Great money spent and worth every dime compared to others. 5 star all the way!!!!

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children
My kids and their friends have had HOURS of fun with this water slide. We have already got our money's worth out of it and the summer is not even over! It has been very durable. I like that I don't have to get in the water like a pool, I can sit in the shade and relax and let the kids have a blast. At our BBQ's, the other parents enjoy the fact that they do not need to put their swim suits on and get in the water. They can relax and watch their kids burn all of their energy!

So Worth It!
By Aunt2three
About Me Education Oriented
I bought this for my nephews and niece to use at my parents (their grandparents) house for some summer fun. They are ages 5,8, and 11. I specifically picked this waterslide over the others because it has a higher weight capacity and enough room for several kids to play on it at once. They set it up today and the kids were absolutely thrilled! The shrieks of joy were worth every penny spent! We couldn't get them off of it! It works perfectly and seems durable. It was way easier than expected to set up. This thing is huge though so make sure you have a big enough yard for it. I think it would be perfect for summer family bbq's and parties. I can see the kids are going to enjoy this all summer long and perhaps for a few summers to come!

About Me Grandparent
Bought this for a family get together in July...the kids had more fun with it than I had even anticipated...sent it home with one of our daughters so kids can enjoy it throughout the summer...will probably purchase another one next year. Held up well...supported the occssional adult as well. Fast to set up. Rather pricey, but as usual, you get what you pay for. We felt this was a quality purchase. This is our first season with it, so don't know how well it will hold up over the long haul.

Very Durable, Quick Setup
By youngmommashopper
from Los Angeles, CA
We have had ours for over two years now and we have not had any problems with it. The directions say so make sure you store it in a dry area and make sure it gets dry before you put it away. We just leave it out in the sun after we empty the water and that does the trick. We just bought another one from them. They have a bunch of new models now. Great buy!

This product survived an entire summer of little boy abuse. We often times had 6-8 little boys over at a time and it was a blast! So much fun, so easy to put up and very sturdy. Every kid in the neighborhood loves this thing - especially mine.

text: Lee Jenkins on the Lakers new 'system': "The way they were today to me isn't a recipe for long-term success, but it gets them a win and it keeps them kind of engaged in the process. I still go back to the fact that with this much talent between these four guys who are built for the playoffs. If they keep at it they are going to find something that works for them. What I think is a little disconcerting for the Lakers is that today was almost like that 'Bernie Bickerstaff-ball' when they went 4-1; it was more like rolling the balls and Kobe was kind of coaching them on the floor and doing what he did. It wasn't necessarily what you want to see or what the plan was when they brought in Mike D'Antoni, but none of that stuff has worked so its almost like you've got these 4 potential Hall of Famers figuring it out amongst themselves on the fly."

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X driver was fastest on every one of the day's four stages - including the mammoth 54-kilometre Guanajuatito test - and ended the event more than four minutes clear of the opposition.
"This is just incredible," said Guerra afterwards. "I have won Group N three times on this event, but never as a round of the Production Car World Rally Championship. It means so much to me to take my first ever PWRC win at home in front of my people. I am very, very happy.
"We had no problems at all today and really we have had a very good rally, leading from the second stage until the finish. It's a fantastic start to the season."
Second place went to multiple Peruvian champion Nicolas Fuchs, who adopted a cautious approach on the final day in the knowledge that he was 16 minutes ahead of his closest rival. Although he struggled for grip through the long stage, he otherwise enjoyed a trouble-free day.
"The car was very good," said Fuchs. "I have to thank the team for the work they have done. The tyres were quite difficult sometimes. When they are new, they are great, very fast with good grip, but it wasn't so easy when the heat came.
I am very pleased with the result though. I have been third here before and never managed to beat that, so to come here and take the second place is good for me."
PWRC title leader Michal Kosciuszko restarted under Rally 2 rules on Sunday following his exit on day two with top Subaru runner Gianluca Linari fourth. Mexican wildcard entrant Rodrigo Salgado (Mitsubishi) finished fifth with Swedish lady driver Ramona Karlsson sixth after a tough start to her PWRC campaign following brake issues on the opening two days.

Haulier with bells on, or sophisticated transport solution provider? Your view of a pallet network could be either of these extremes or, more likely, somewhere in between but what's indisputable is that these distribution co-operatives have enjoyed a surge in popularity and, in turn, revenue. The network providers would say this is down to their ability to deliver palletised freight at a cost that manufacturers themselves can't hope to compete with. Is it true? Yes – unless your in-house transport operation could deliver a single pallet from your factory to a site hundreds of miles away by 9am tomorrow for the princely sum of £30 all-in. As you'd expect, the per-pallet sum varies in terms of distance and volume of freight moved, but £30-£40 is a ball park figure cited by several providers. Pallet networks haven't been around for long – it's generally agreed that Palletline was the first to launch this type of logistics service in 1992, so it is celebrating 20 years in business this year. Yet despite its relative youth, the speed of growth has meant this quickly became a mature – and saturated – market. Google 'pallet network' today and the list is extensive: as well as Palletline, you'll find The Pallet Network, Palletways, Palletforce, Pall-Ex (with its fire-breathing owner), United Pallet Network (UPN), Pallet-Track and, bucking the trend for the obvious name, Fortec. The ownership model varies, but from the customer perspective, the offer is essentially the same: they will collect anything from a single pallet to a full load and deliver to your customer, certainly next day and some go further with timed delivery slots to support just-in-time operations. Other logistics businesses offer palletised freight distribution via hubs – DHL and Norbert Dentressangle, for example – but this is fulfilled by their own vehicles rather than member/partner hauliers. And these, plus some of the pallet networks, extend their reach well beyond our shores. Hub of the matter The pallet networks' hub and spoke distribution model has proved its worth. Before the first network came on the scene, groupage – or freight consolidation – was the only truly cost-effective means of getting small amounts of product to a customer many miles away. As Pallet-Track's managing director Nigel Parkes explains, the result was probably the same whether your transport department was internal or external: "If you had a stillage of bolts for delivery from your factory in the south of England to a site in Swansea, the local haulier – or your own transport manager, if it was in house – would have to find other consignments to create a load to make the journey cost effective." That could mean a delay of several days. It seems inconceivable now, but it was the advent of lean manufacturing and just-in-time in the early 1990s that really drove the increase in demand for faster, more efficient delivery methods. And so the pallet network was born. Given the proliferation of these networks, it must surely have been difficult for a relative newcomer like Pallet-Track to make its presence felt? Parkes says not. When he launched his business eight years ago, some viewed it as a risky move. "There was a belief at the time that we wouldn't succeed and that there was no room for another network. Yes, the market was maturing but my argument was that the last mobile network to launch was Orange and they haven't done bad! It's not only about demand, in my view – we believed we could do things better and take market share. And we have." Parkes reckons the underlying structure can't beaten : "Hub and spoke networks are highly efficient because they remove empty running – there's very little empty space in vehicles. The reality is there's no more efficient way to transport goods." Once the single hub and spoke structure reaches capacity, it expands to regional hubs: "Once critical mass is reached, the hub and spoke system needs to become regionalised. But the principle is the same: you're creating smaller – satellite – systems around the main system." Today, Pallet-Track has a 267,000 sq ft hub in Wolverhampton which was purpose built four years ago. It has already reached 80%-plus capacity here and Parkes says he is now looking at widening his net to establish regional hubs in the north, the south and Scotland. As he points out, the term 'pallet distribution' is something of a misnomer since almost anything can be moved via this type of network, if packaged correctly. Whether a small part pallet or a large stillage, all networks will take the booking – though, as Parkes points out, some find it easier than others to move the product. In a £1.5m deal last year, he bought 40 forklift trucks from Linde Creighton which have specially-designed forks to adjust automatically to the maximum width of load being picked up. "It means we can be very flexible in terms of the product we can move, but also improves our efficiency because the driver doesn't have to get on and off to adjust the forks. That, in turn, has a third benefit – safety. Drivers aren't allowed to get off their trucks anywhere in the hub, they have to go to safe areas to do it, so these forklift trucks save us time and improve safety." From 800 pallets a night at its launch, Pallet-Track is now moving 9,000 pallets every night. Parkes claims quality of service is the hook – notably end-to-end tracking, which includes electronic signatures and can include scanning of customer paperwork to the system. "There will always be room for manufacturers to run their own vehicles – for example, if they sell a product that has to be commissioned or installed by an engineer," he says. "But apart from that, I see absolutely no reason why a manufacturer would want his own transport for normal product placement – a manufacturer could never compete with a pallet network operation in terms of vehicle fill rate, efficiency and cost." Take the Pallet-Track network as an example, says Parkes: "We have a 2,500-3,000 vehicle capacity in 75 locations every night. So a product collected at 6pm today could be delivered virtually anywhere in the country at 9am tomorrow. None but the largest multinational could compete with that." It's certainly a sound case – particularly if you throw in the fact that timed deliveries for sequenced operations can be accommodated, too. Supplementary service Garden product manufacturer Hozelock has renewed its contract with Palletways for distribution of an anticipated 24,000 pallets per year to DIY outlets and garden centres across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Hozelock's Minworth factory at Sutton Coldfield is ideally situated close to the Palletways Birmingham depot. Unusually, the arrangement is not for collection and delivery: the manufacturer delivers its pallets direct to the Palletways hub, where the network takes over, sorting them for onward distribution. The Palletways network has 106 members in the UK. Five of these are fully-owned depots – Birmingham, London, Scotland, Oxford and Dartford – and the other 101 are privately-owned logistics businesses operating under franchise to the Palletways network. Palletways' core business is small consignments, one to six pallets, and it's precisely this size delivery that Hozelock uses the pallet network for, supplementing a separate transport operation. When the renewal was announced, Hozelock's group supply chain director Terry Bennett explained the reason for sticking with Palletways: "Palletways provides us with the level of flexibility required to meet the demand within the marketplace, especially during peak seasons such as spring, summer and bank holidays." Most customers expect hubs to operate 24/7 but not necessarily bank holidays which, as it turns out, was the clincher for this deal. Michelle Naylor, general manager at Palletways Birmingham, explains more: "Hozelock decided to stay open on bank holidays some time ago and they wanted a partner who could meet that requirement. So we open our national hub here in Lichfield on bank holidays – the freight doesn't go anywhere beyond that on the day because our members generally don't work on bank holidays, but what it means is that Hozelock can bring their trailers here and we unload them before moving goods out the following day. It means Hozelock doesn't have stock and trailers waiting around – the process continues to move and that's worked really well for them." The manufacturer trunks goods to the Palletways depot: usually six or seven lorries each day, but this can be as many as 16 per day at peak times, says Naylor. "We're a 24-hour operation, so they can trunk in at any time. We turn the vehicle around, empty it and it goes back to the Minworth factory." Most manufacturing customers are using this service to supplement an in-house or outsourced transport operation, says Naylor. "If you have anything over six or seven pallets, it becomes less cost effective to use us. Small consignments of one to six pallets is our core. Lots of customers have their own fleet: one here in Birmingham has 100 vehicles but it doesn't pay to transport less than five pallets, so they give those consignments to us." It's easy to see why, in Hozelock's case, it is financially justifiable to use a pallet network if you have many small consignments for numerous sites, with dozens or even hundreds of potential delivery points. But what if a manufacturer has just three or four customer sites to deliver to: can that be equally cost effective? Naylor responds: "It's a set cost per pallet, so yes, absolutely. With fuel prices continuing to rise, so too do our volumes. Manufacturers don't want the hassle of running their own fleet, plus the unpredictability of fleet costs and legislative issues surrounding agency drivers, for example. "For £40 for a first-time user, we'd collect and deliver a pallet on next-day delivery to 70% of the UK. You couldn't drive it there yourself for that," she says.

In the nearly two years since a law first was proposed to establish some public control over Ohio's proliferating "Internet cafes," the need to regulate this rogue corner of the state's gambling industry has become clearer. More than 800 are in business, with virtually no limits on their operations and no obligation to inform the public of their payouts or players' odds of winning.
Even as Ohio has attempted to build a solid regulatory structure to maximize the tax revenue and limit the damage of casinos and racetrack slots since they came on the scene, the advent of Internet cafes has thrown a curveball.
As soon as someone developed the software technology for computers to mimic casino games, somebody else figured out that gamblers would flock to try their luck on them. The businesses ostensibly sell long-distance phone-calling cards or "Internet time," but the main thing customers are interested in are the "promotional points" that come with a purchase and allow them to play games with the chance of prizes, some as high as $5,000.
Some don't even bother with the game, but take the "quick reveal" option, by which they just ask the salesperson whether they've won.
It's pre-coded in the software.
The popularity of the cafes is cutting into the tax revenue that local and state governments expected from regulated gambling, and they're operating without any of the safeguards built into legalized gambling.
No one knows how much revenue Internet cafes take in or what players' odds of winning are. Only in the past year have they even been required to tell the state the names and locations of their owners.
And now, the apparent toll the cafes have taken on charitable bingo games throughout the state raises new concerns.
For one, organizations using a low-key, well-regulated form of gambling to do something for the public benefit, such as fund scholarships or support youth organizations or bolster parochial schools, are losing out to shadowy, for-profit businesses that don't have to play by any rules.
For another, if players are leaving the relatively safe confines of bingo parlors for the no-limits atmosphere of Internet cafes, an uptick in problem gambling, and all the social costs it entails, seems more likely.
Between 2005 and last year, bingo profits in the Columbus area dropped by nearly 55 percent, from $21 million to $9.5 million. The number of games dropped to 68 from 110. Statewide, profits fell by nearly half.
The hit has come from many directions, including casinos, racetracks and the statewide indoor-smoking ban that took effect in 2007. But, based on what they hear from their remaining customers, bingo operators believe Internet cafes, which are free to operate 24/7, have taken away the most business.
Some charitable-bingo supporters want their operations to be allowed to compete, with longer hours and the right to operate electronic games and sell more instant-win, scratch-off bingo cards, but further expansion such as this isn't necessary.
Maintaining charitable bingo as a community-based game and cracking down on the Wild West of Internet cafes is a better way to go.

Today is a very special day. It just so happens to be Carla's birthday today. You know Carla; the very talented baker over at Chocolate Moosey. She's the gal that brings you amazing desserts like Award-Winning Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes, Lemon Coconut Cinnamon Rolls, Cadbury Creme Egg Milkshakes, and Funfetti Cheesecake. Um, yes please, I'll take one of each. She's even got your back when it comes to savory dishes with these Honey Butter Dinner Rolls, Roasted Jalapeño Soup, and Buffalo Chicken Dip Quesadillas.
I can't take it anymore, I'm heading over to Carla's for dinner and dessert. Do you think she'll mind cooking on her birthday?
Carla is one of the nicest bloggers ever. She's super sweet and would do anything for a friend. I've been lucky enough to get to know Carla over the past year and half since I started my blog in 2011. She's a fellow #SundaySupper contributor and a friend.
Guess what? I'm finally going to meet her in July at The Big Summer Potluck. I can't wait! I foresee us becoming real pals, cupcake buddies, and maybe even BFF's.
I knew I had to bake something really special for Carla's birthday. Something fun and vibrant, just like Carla's personality. I got funky with it and made cake batter funfetti cookie cups with nutella ganache.
Any time I get to throw a bunch of rainbow sprinkles into a bowl of batter is a good day. The flecks of brightly colored sweetness exude happiness–perfect for a birthday celebration. No matter how your day went, a bowl full of rainbow-studded cookie batter is sure to make it better.
There has been a bunch of hype recently about cake batter cookies using boxed cake mix as the base. Recipes spread like wildfire on blogs, Pinterest, and food porn sites. I have nothing against boxed cake mix. It's great to use in a pinch and a guaranteed success, but I wanted a cookie that had that classic cake batter flavor, but also tasted homemade. To acheive this, I added a combination of vanilla and almond extracts to the sugar cookie base.
This recipe has taken me a few (eight to be exact) tries to perfect, but it was worth it. Look how festive and colorful they are.
They lure you in with all those bright sprinkles. They're soft and chewy on the inside and crispy, crunchy on the outside.
Add a dollop of creamy dark chocolate nutella ganache and these cookies become instantly special–special enough for a birthday party. I think Carla is really going to enjoy these cookies. Whatdoya think?
If you're not in the mood for chocolate, don't add it. They're just as good without the chocolate as they are with it.
Happy Birthday, Carla! Enjoy your special day, and make sure you eat a piece of cake for me.

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbs. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- 1½ sticks unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg, at room-temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. almond extract
- ⅓ cup rainbow jimmies
- ¼ cup rainbow nonpareils
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup nutella
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Position the rack so it's in the center of your oven. Grease two muffin tins.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer attached with the paddle, cream together the butter and both sugars until pale and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Scrap down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Whisk in vanilla and almond extract.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture. Beat until the batter comes together and the dough is smooth, about 1 minutes.
- Beat in the jimmies and nonpareils. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and give the dough one last stir to make sure the jimmies and nonpareils are evenly distributed.
- Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, drop a rounded scoop of dough into each muffin tin. Press down slightly with your fingers. For best results, bake one tray at a time for 14 minutes and the tops are just slightly golden. Do not bake longer than 16 minutes. Remove and allow to cool in the tins for 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Add a teaspoon of ganache to each cookie cup if desired. Sprinkle with jimmies.
- Add the dark chocolate chips to a bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat just until it boils. Pour the cream over the chocolate and allow to set for 1 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir until smooth. Stir in the nutella until thoroughly incorporated.

This special edition Atlas specifically made for the 2013 Am Worlds. Each disc is stamped with "Am Worlds / 7.06-13.2013"
Due to the two-part mold, there are nearly 100 possible color combinations. Please refer to the color guide image to the left. The highlighted colors are available, dark ones are not. If you want a specific color, please include at least 3 preferences (in order of priority) in the notes section on the first page of checkout. If you do not include any preferences, a color will be selected at random. The color chart will be updated regularly to reflect the current supply.
All of these discs are 180g.
The Atlas features a new two-part molding process that allows the combination of two different plastics in the rim and the flight plate. The Atlas allows for a better grip where it counts while still maintaining its firmness and stiffness for maximum control. The two color design not only looks good, but adds better visibility as well. As for flight, this is a very straight flyer with a slight but smooth fade.
