A 24-count box of Pop-Tarts and a naked baby picture?
A 24-count box of Pop-Tarts and a naked baby picture?
Not good.
Granola bars and a gift card to the bookstore?
Much better.
Parents still in the early throes of separation anxiety should use common sense when filling the traditional college student care package for their far-away babies. The best boxes combine items that evoke a personal connection, balance nutritional foods with junk food favorites, and include a touch of fun, say University of Pacific staffers.
The first few months of college are an adjustment period for everyone in the family, said University of the Pacific therapist and Outreach Coordinator Elizabeth Thompson. Parents are seeking ways to connect without smothering their recently flown children. Students can shift from feelings of homesickness to independence in what seems like minutes.
"That's absolutely normal because the child has one foot in the home space and one foot in the university space," she said. "There needs to be that balance of contact with the old and groundedness in the new."
Patrick Giblin, media relations manager at the college, said the stress of adjusting tends to hit students about two months after they leave for school.
"This is about the time of the year when the freshmen go through homesickness," he said.
Giblin's daughter is a sophomore at Smith College in Massachusetts, so he's had some personal experience with the care package conundrum. His packages often include items his daughter has requested, like the DVD she once needed for a class.
Still, "every once in a while I'll surprise her," he said.
He and his daughter are cartoon aficionados, so Giblin mailed off a copy of "Lady and The Tramp." He also sends DVDs of television shows they both love.
Pacific dietician Alexandra Caspero is a fan of nonfood items like DVDs or toiletries. She suggests gift cards to a favorite restaurant. Those sorts of items are calorie-free representations of love. Even so, food is a big part of a college student's life. The key to packing the big box of goodies is balance.
"I think it's nice to have a little treat. Nobody wants to open a package of granola bars and oatmeal," she said. On the other side of the equation: "Their dorm rooms are stocked with one-pound bags of M&M's. After they've eaten all of it they're upset."
Think twice about sending homemade goodies, Caspero said. They can take many days to reach a faraway campus. At best, they are stale. At worst they can spoil and draw pests.
"I've seen some students pick up their care package a week later," Caspero said.
First-time students in Caspero's nutrition classes and in nutrition counseling are looking for ways to maintain a healthy balance as they take charge of their eating habits for the first time. She also sees students midway through the first semester unhappy with what she said is more the "Freshman Five" than the "Freshman 15" extra pounds in the first year.
"Parents don't want to hear this, but most of those calories are probably coming from beer," she said.
There are plenty of dietary decisions happening that parents no longer control, she added. About half of students start looking for foods they love but couldn't get at home. Vegetarianism, veganism and gluten-free eating are big trends in campus dining. The other half says, "Wow! I can have pizza three times a day!"
One way to limit care package overload is to think outside the box, according to Thompson. A T-shirt in a padded envelope or a thoughtful card are also ways to say, "I'm thinking of you." Also, consider saving large or homemade items for personal visits. Thompson sent a few care packages to her son when he was at a San Diego college. She never sent a package to her daughter while she was studying in Santa Clara. She just drove over and delivered her goodies in person.
The early months of college mean sorting out what is too much or too little communication. How many boxes are too many? Should you call to be sure they arrived? What does your student really want, if anything? The only way to know is to ask, Thompson said. Families are different and will find different ways to traverse this new stage in a child's life. For some a daily call or text is fine - as long as everyone is happy with that arrangement. The only way to know which is right for you is to communicate, she said.
"Don't base it off what other kids are wanting and other parents are doing," she said. Check in at least a couple of times a semester with a conversation about what your child needs and/or wants from home.
Don't, however, be afraid to surprise them.
Giblin's daughter loves Trader Joe's chocolate covered pretzels but has difficulty getting them in Massachusetts, so he includes those in his care packages. He rarely sends food, but when he does it's a California treat she can't get at school. The best packages are those that remind him of their shared interests and sense of humor.
"Sometimes I'll be in the store and I'll see a T-shirt and think, 'Oh! That's her,' " Giblin said.
"You know your child best," Thompson said. "Send something that would be fun and meaningful." And "when in doubt, ask."

Girls In Khaki : A History of the ATS in the Second World War
The Auxiliary Territorial Service was formed in 1938 as Britain faced the threat of war. This is the story of those remarkable women.
They took over many roles, releasing Servicemen for front-line duties. ATS members worked alongside anti-aircraft gunners, maintained vehicles, drove supply trucks, operated as telephonists in France, provided logistical support in army supply depots and employed specialist skills from Bletchley to General Eisenhower's HQ in Reims.
They grasped their new-found opportunities for education, higher wages, skilled employment and a different future from the domestic role of their mothers. ATS achievements forestalled any return to pre-war attitudes.
They showed great skill and courage, with members including the Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) and Mary Churchill. They were even among the last military personnel to be evacuated from Dunkirk. This book reveals their extraordinary story through their own words and never-before published photographs.
Barbara Green joined the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC) in 1961 as an Officer Cadet. In 1966 she trained, as a Captain, with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in O&M/Work Study.Since then she has had a successful civilian career in research, writing and interviewing. She has campaigned with Armed Forces Veterans and currently writes small pieces on consumer affairs.

As Holidays Bring Heightened Risk for Eating Disorders Relapse, Eating Recovery Center Promotes Strategies for Protecting Recovery
Leading Eating Disorders Treatment Center Offers Suggestions for Managing Holiday Stress for Those in Recovery From an Eating Disorder
By: Marketwired .
Nov. 27, 2012 12:46 PM
DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/27/12 -- Americans who regularly have high levels of overall stress are most likely to feel stress specific to the holidays, according to a recent survey conducted by Mental Health America. For individuals in recovery from eating disorders, who are typically predisposed to higher levels of anxiety, this is particularly true. The frenetic pace of the holiday hustle and bustle and increased emphasis on food-centric gatherings can lead to heightened stress, and in severe cases, eating disorders relapse. To help individuals in recovery from an eating disorder maximize the chances for a healthy, happy holiday season, Eating Recovery Center recommends patients and their loved ones take proactive steps to plan for recovery-focused holiday celebrations.
"Treatment professionals frequently see increases in eating disordered thoughts and behaviors in patients during the holiday season. Often, these lapses in recovery are a response to the anxiety that can accompany gatherings of friends and family, as well as more emphasis on and exposure to food," explains Ovidio Bermudez, MD, FAAP, FSAHM, FAED, CEDS, chief medical officer and medical director of child and adolescent services at Eating Recovery Center. "To minimize the effects of these stressors and protect recovery during the holiday season, it is important to plan activities that emphasize recovery, commit to a manageable schedule and prepare for the 'what-ifs' that may arise."
Eating Recovery Center offers the following strategies to help individuals in recovery, as well as their support systems, healthfully navigate the holiday season and minimize chances for eating disorders relapse.
If you are in recovery from an eating disorder:
1. Turn the focus from food. Make togetherness, rather than food, the central theme of your holiday season and seek opportunities to plan and attend events that do not center around a meal.
If you are supporting someone in recovery from an eating disorder:
1. Include your loved one in holiday activity planning. With the help of his or her treatment team, your loved one can guide you as you plan new recovery-focused holiday traditions.
"Additionally, staying connected to an outpatient treatment team, including dietitians, therapists and physicians or psychiatrists, can be extremely helpful during the holiday season," explains Dr. Bermudez. "Whether from eating disorders treatment professionals, friends or family, it is important that individuals in recovery from an eating disorder seek out the support they need to successfully navigate this complex time of year."

By ROBBIE NEISWANGER
Arkansas News Bureau
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive coordinator Willy Robinson has a lot of respect for former Alabama running back Mark Ingram.
The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner was a handful for opponents during his three-year career with the Crimson Tide. He enjoyed good days against the Razorbacks, too, including last season's 157-yard rushing effort in a 24-20 win.
But Robinson said the Razorbacks have debated something about the other running back — Trent Richardson — as they prepared for the Tide.
"He's a big-time football player," Robinson said. "Not to take anything away from Ingram — Ingram was a great football player — but we had such great admiration over the last two years for Richardson that we sometimes wondered if he wasn't really the better back."
Ingram is now in the NFL, meaning the 14th-ranked Razorbacks (3-0) should see plenty of Richardson when they play at No. 3 Alabama (3-0) in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday.
The junior waited his turn behind Ingram and now is the featured figure in Alabama's offense and an early-season Heisman Trophy contender.
Richardson is averaging 105 rushing yards a game and has scored eight times, which is tied for the NCAA lead after three games. He is coming off a career game, too, rushing for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries in Alabama's 41-0 win against North Texas.
Slowing him — and Alabama backup running back Eddie Lacy — will be the top priority for a defense that hasn't allowed a rushing touchdown. And a group determined to prove last week's struggles against pass-happy Troy was merely a hiccup as SEC play begins.
"Their run game is pretty impressive," Arkansas defensive lineman D.D. Jones said. "They've got two good backs and a great offensive line. The challenge is up to us and how we come out and handle it. We're putting the weight on our shoulders, man, to go out and perform and help our team get the win."
Richardson has enjoyed success against the Razorbacks the past two seasons, rushing for 85 and 65 yards. But a good chunk of his production came on one memorable play.
No one has forgotten the highlight Richardson reeled off when he was a freshman in 2009. He was hit in the backfield by Arkansas linebacker Wendel Davis for what looked like a sure loss, but shook the tackle, broke three more and raced to the end zone for a 52-yard score.
It set the tone for Alabama's 35-7 win.
"It just hurts when you see it," Arkansas linebacker Jerico Nelson said of the run. "We should have made that play and we didn't. If we make that play, the game could be different."
Richardson remembers it as one of the best of his career. He'd like another Saturday.
"It's always going to be a big run," Richardson said. "It's always going to be a big highlight, that I'll never forget. ... I know they're going to bring everything to me on Saturday. That means I've got to be prepared."
Arkansas has done a good job against the run in its nonconference games, allowing 87.7 yards (and just 3.3 yards a carry). The Hogs have spent three years building their defensive line, believing it now possesses a talented group that will win games in the trenches.
Arkansas has tinkered with its newfound strength, too, experimenting with five-man fronts. It's no secret the work is aimed to challenge power running teams like Alabama.
Richardson knows he'll be the focal point of Arkansas' defensive efforts. He's OK with it.
"I don't care if people try to shut me down or not," he said. "As long as my team has a good time and we're winning, it's fine with me."
It helps Richardson doesn't have to shoulder the load alone. Much like Richardson teamed with Ingram to combine for an impressive one-two punch the past two seasons, Lacy has been a productive running mate this season. The sophomore is averaging 101.3 yards a game.
The duo was impressive in last week's 41-0 win against North Texas, combining for 328 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Four of the scores were from 43 yards or more, including Richardson's 71-yard run in the fourth quarter.
"It's not like either one of those guys can't pop that hole and take it to the goal line," Robinson said. "There's not much changed there.
"Both of them are outstanding players and they rotate the both of them as well as they rotate the quarterbacks, so they keep them fresh."
It's a tandem that gives Alabama a big advantage. Richardson called himself Lacy's "biggest cheerleader" when the backup is on the field. He said there are "no worries."
Instead, that's reserved for opponents trying to stop Alabama. Arkansas, which has allowed 229.7 rushing yards in the past three meetings, knows the task begins with Richardson.
"He's a good back, man," Jones said. "He breaks a lot of tackles. When you hit him, you've got to make sure you wrap up. It will take more than one of us to get him down."

It's the Eagles' fall break so we offer our midterm grades for the team's Class of 2010-11:
Since the horrendous first half against Green Bay in the opener, the Eagles' offense has found its groove, whether it has been Michael Vick or Kevin Kolb under center. That's a notable achievement considering that the quarterbacks have dissimilar styles. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg deserves credit for formulating successful game plans that cater to each quarterback.
His spread-'em-out scheme against the Lions worked to perfection, as did his misdirection-filled play-calling against the Falcons. He could not find a way to penetrate the Redskins' Cover-2 defense, however, and made some questionable late-game decisions (Chad Hall?) in the Titans loss.
Mornhinweg cannot be tagged for the offensive line's woes. That blame rests solely on coach Andy Reid, who made the Stacy Andrews-Jason Peters mistakes and did nothing to upgrade the unit in the off-season.
Running backs (A-): LeSean McCoy has done it all: He has rushed for a healthy 4.5 yards per carry and five touchdowns and has led the team with 38 receptions. Even more impressive is how he has done it: with a broken rib and often making tacklers miss. Owen Schmitt has been a nice surprise, providing strong blocking and reliable hands when needed. The Mike Bell bust brings the grade down. The Eagles don't have a reliable complement to McCoy — or a backup if Shady gets hurt.
Quarterbacks (A-): How did the Eagles get here? Oh, right, they traded Donovan McNabb and handed the job to Kolb. He got hurt, and Vick stepped in and played well. Kolb was demoted, and Vick was given the starting spot. Vick got hurt, and Kolb stepped in and played well. And now, Vick, supposedly close to recovery, will return and start against the Colts on Nov. 7.
Whew. For all the chaos, the quarterback position has been one of the brighter spots for the Eagles, especially when you compare the performance of Vick/Kolb to the way McNabb has played in Washington. Now there's a quarterback dilemma.
Wide receivers/tight ends (B): The grade of the Eagles' pass catchers is weighed down slightly by Brent Celek. A year after his breakout season, the tight end's numbers are down across the board. Starting wideouts DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin have been dazzling for the most part. But Jackson had his concussion, and even before that he was having trouble getting the ball. Jason Avant's production has slipped, but Riley Cooper appears to be a keeper and could see more time in the second half of the season.
Offensive line (C-): The Eagles have allowed 21 sacks, second worst in the league, and 41 quarterback hits, third worst. Those numbers would be worse if not for some Vick heroics. The line seemed to stabilize until the Tennessee game. The linemen have done well downfield to help pop some big screen plays, and the running game has been moving well. But the blocking crew has combined for 17 penalties, led by Peters' five.
The Eagles are giving up 22.4 points per game, 20th in the NFL, and every time they plug one leak, another seems to open. Most important, they have allowed three big fourth quarters. The D has created some big plays, though. The Eagles' 16 takeaways are tied for fourth in the NFL, and their 21 sacks rank fifth.
Defensive line (B): Because of the pressure generated by the front four, the Eagles haven't had to blitz as much as they did last season. Their defense, led by relentless end Trent Cole's six quarterback sacks, is fifth in the league in sacks per pass attempt. End Juqua Parker got off to a fast start but has cooled despite more snaps. Top draft pick Brandon Graham is going through obvious growing pains. The middle of the line has been an improvement over last season because backups Trevor Laws and Antonio Dixon have progressed.
Linebackers (C): Stewart Bradley and Ernie Sims rank third and fifth on the team in tackles, but they often are making stops after allowing decent gains. We rarely see this group in the opposing backfield, and a few tight ends have gotten loose on them. The linebackers as a whole have combined for two sacks and no interceptions. Moise Fokou has helped since taking over for Akeem Jordan.
Defensive backs (C): If report cards were handed out before the Titans game, this group might have fared better. But cornerback Ellis Hobbs and free safety Nate Allen were so bad in that game that it's hard to justify a higher mark. Hobbs was just OK before the Tennessee debacle, anyway. Allen was better, equaling cornerback Asante Samuel, with three interceptions. But he wasn't tested very much considering that he is only a rookie. That should change. Samuel still has tackling issues, but he's as good a cover man as there is. Strong safety Quintin Mikell looks more like his 2008 self.
The Eagles have been hurt by big returns that set up opposing scores. They are near the bottom of the league in both punt and kickoff coverage. The punt- and kick-return games have been average. Sav Rocca is in the top 10 in both punting average and net average. David Akers' four misses tie him for third most in the NFL, although they all came in one bad week.
The impulse is to look at "The Tennessee Meltdown" and "The Washington Gut-Punch," (Great rock band names, huh?) and conclude that Andy Reid and his assistants have done a subpar job through seven games. But factor in three road victories and an impressive stomping of Atlanta and what you have is pretty much what you would have expected in the bye week: a 4-3 record.
Expectations were tempered for a relatively young team before the season, with many forecasting a record between 8-8 and 10-6. But somewhere along the line (maybe it had something to do with the weak NFC), hopes were raised and then tempered in Tennessee.
Reid, too, got caught up in the fever and ditched his rebuilding, retooling, whatever-you-want-to-call-it plan
when he made the quarterback switch. It remains to be seen whether he made the right call. So far, with a patchwork offensive line and coordinator Sean McDermott's Jekyll-and-Hyde defense, quarterback appears to be the least of his worries.

Worcester, MA --- Senior Tony Tokarz (Holden, MA) amassed 284 yards of total offense with two passing scores and a 48-yard touchdown run to help lead Worcester State to a 27-13 triumph over Framingham State in New England Football Bogan Division action this afternoon at Coughlin Field.
With the win the Lancers finish off their regular season with an 8-2 record (5-2 NEFC Bogan) as they await word on a possible ECAC Bowl bid in two weeks.
The Rams see their six-game win streak come to an end as they fall to 7-3 overall and 6-1 in Bogan Division play. FSU, however, won the division last week and they will take on Boyd Division Champion Western New England in Springfield this Saturday to determine the conference's representative in the NCAA Division III Football Tournament.
In his 29th season at the helm of the Lancers, the squad presented Brien Cullen with his 150th career victory. Today's triumph marks the first time since 2004 that the Blue and Gold have posted a winning regular season.
It took Worcester State three drives in the first quarter to open up the scoring, as Tokarz launched a deep pass to sophomore AJ Scerra (Marlboro, MA) who hauled in the 46-yard toss to put WSU ahead 7-0 with 6:45 remaining in the opening quarter.
The Rams promptly responded on their next drive as they marched down the field on eight plays and capping it off with sophomore Melikke Van Alstyne (Swampscott, MA) rushing for a three-yard score (PAT blocked) less than four minutes later. Framingham State was faced with a second-and-26 during the drive, but was able to convert thanks to a well-executed screen pass to Van Alstyne.
FSU looked to increase their lead early in the second quarter, but WSU senior Cliff Oratokhai (Worcester, MA/South) intercepted sophomore Dino Mancinelli's (Madison, CT) pass ending the scoring chance.
After sophomore Derek Muccini added a 30-yard field goal with 18 seconds left in the first quarter, both teams traded possessions twice before the Rams took over for a long 65-yard, 15-play series. The Lancer defense proved tough, however, as on a fourth-and-goal from the four yard-line they forced a turnover on downs ending the drive that was nearly seven minutes long – including an Oratokhai break-up on third down to prevent the go-ahead score.
The Blue and Gold took over with 2:44 seconds remaining in the half driving all the way down the field before they were faced with a first-and-20 with 10 seconds on the clock, following a holding penalty. After scrambling in the pocket, Tokarz heaved the ball into the end-zone to junior Justin DeAndrade (E. Bridgewater, MA), who snagged the ball and scored on the 27-yard reception with one tick left in the half.
Framingham State started the third quarter going three-and-out, but a fake punt pass on fourth down by sophomore Kyle Shonio (Swampscott, MA) to junior Alex Avery (Milford, MA) kept the drive alive. On the next play, Van Alstyne then broke through the Lancer defense and scored from 31-yards out making the score 17-13 with 12:46 left in the third quarter.
Muccini added a 22-yard field goal with less than 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter putting the Lancers up 20-13. Tokarz then completed passes of 20 and 25 yards, respectively, to DeAndrade on the drive to set up the field goal.
The Lancers made it a two-possession game, with just under seven minutes left in regulation, when Tokarz added his 48-yard touchdown run on the next drive after maneuvering through the Ram defenders and finding space in the open field putting WSU ahead, 27-13. Tokarz's scramble came on a third-and-10 as the Lancers were six-of-seven on third down conversions in the fourth stanza.
On the ensuing kickoff, Framingham State used good field position after a squib kick to set up camp on the Worcester State's 32. The Rams would march down into the 12-yard line before Oratokhai sealed the win with his second interception – his team leading sixth of the season.
Tokarz was 10-for-23 with 212 passing yards while he added 62 yards on the ground despite three sacks. Freshman Kemani Jones (Milton, MA) tacked on 89 yards on 19 carries including a 24-yard burst on a third down deep in their own territory to help the Lancers score just before the end of the half.
DeAndrade and Scerra combined for six receptions and 121 yards and two touchdowns for WSU.
Van Alstyne, the leading rusher in Division III with 1,399 yards, finished with 28 rushes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Needing just 49 yards to break David Leach's mark of 2,604, he broke FSU's career-mark as he now has 2,713 yards in just two seasons. Avery finished with six receptions for 77 yards for the Rams.
Senior Ray St. Laurent (Shrewsbury, MA) ended the day collecting 10 tackles (8 solo) with two sacks for 22 yards and he added a pass breakup on third-down. Oratokhai was clutch with two interceptions, a pair of deflections and a blocked extra point. Junior Bryan Narcisse (Medway, MA) chipped in seven tackles (five solo) with 1.5 sacks.
The Rams were led by senior Mark Nunes (Taunton, MA) and first-year Dennis Barnwell (Medford, MA) who both ended the day with seven tackles apiece. Third-year James Murihead (Middleboro, MA) and freshman Rob Staub (Dracut, MA) both registered one sack each.
Junior Tyrone Notice (Gardner, MA) moved closer to the single-season interception of eight held by George Claffin's 1986 record with a pick today as Worcester State was driving in the third quarter. Notice is near the top of the NEFC lead with six this season.
Worcester State sophomore punter Alex Blakeslee (Shrewsbury, MA) had a career day with six punts for 297 yards that included two inside the 20 and an 80-yard boot for a touchback that broke the school record by seven yards that was previously held by Tim Bartucca and set against Westfield State in 2007. Blakeslee also reset the school mark for punting average in a single game with 49.5 yards per punt as his longest punt was just four yards shy of the conference record.
While both squads were even in first downs (17-17) and close in time of possession (31:20-28:30, FSU), the Lancers held leads in total yardage (360-283), passing yards (212-153) and rushing yards (148-130). Framingham State also had 12 penalties for 104 yards.

Trim Tab 214V / X-14V
Need some help on my trim tab. Has someone else has had their trim tab stop working and know a fix? Or is someone out there with a 2009 214V or X-14 with VDIG and a trim tab that can confirm which MiniMMDC and Lenco trim box is in their boat? It needs to be the same year but might not have to be a same model like an X-2 or something similar that only has the center trim tab because per Lenco multiple (surf) tabs is an entirely different system.
I purchased the boat last year and it was not working, dealer said it was the actuator, knocked a fair amount off the price and I thought I would fix it myself and a nightmare has ensued. I know it's not the actuator, because I can test it manually making it run using jumper wires. I have tested the Lenco brain box and it works correctly (Lenco has been extremely helpful). I have tested the switch and it works correctly. I have spoken with MC and here is where it got scary, the factory knew the boat when I described the problem.... It was apparently at a MC dealer that closed around Orlando, FL with same problem about 2 or 3 years ago and I don't think it was ever fixed. The boat has a VDIG but MC says it didn't leave the factory with a VDIG but it's only had 2 owners (ski school and police chief) both seem trustworthy and they all state that's the way it came. Lenco believed the brain box that was in the boat (Model: 30074-001 REV: B) wasn't the correct box and even sent me what matched their records for a VDIG (Model: 30271-009) to test, but that didn't fix it either. They both have 16 pin harnesses but are wired slightly different. That's why I'm hoping someone can confirm what should be in the boat. Things I've tested:
Switch has common ground come in from brain box and when toggled grounds the wire for either up or down. If I wire the brain box directly to the switch it works but will not show up on the VDIG. I have followed the wires (trim up/down) from the switch and it appears they go to the MiniMMDC, they definitely enter that main wiring harness under that dash and without tearing into the harness you cannot follow them all the way.
Both lenco brain boxes bench test out and work correctly. I'm assuming that after the switch takes the common ground from the Lenco brain box and transfers it to either the up/down wire it runs through the MiniMMDC and then back to the Lenco brain box for some reason. Both brain boxes have a trim gauge output that's why I'm not sure why/if the up/down wires go through the MiniMMDC. Attached is the wiring diagram from Lenco for the box that was in my boat but they indicate the up/down should just go to the switch which I have done and the tab works but won't show up on VDIG. I don't have the MC diagrams which would help because then I could test the wires as they go in and out of the MiniMMDC or wherever they are going.
I even borrowed a MiniMMDC same model # (M3 MiniMMDC 7022-0012-01) from a buddies boat (his doesnt have a trim tab) but that didnt fix it either.
I have tested all the hot and ground wires at the switch and Lenco brain box with a test light and volt meter and all check out.
I'm open to any suggestions because I'm stumped… I know it's not the end of the world without a gauge because you usually watch the wake to adjust/dial it in but it drives me crazy that it doesn't work correctly, MCOCD.

Heart disease is more commonly seen in older cats and dogs, but is seen in younger animals in increasing numbers. Heart disease can be a result of a tired, run-down immune system, genetic defect, or poor quality nutrition. It can also be secondary to bacterial or viral infections, kidney failure and hyperthyroidism. The increase in toxins in the environment and in foods, chemical exposure (such as cleaning and air freshening products), and over-vaccination may be contributing to the incidence of heart disease in both younger and older animals. Lack of exercise can also contribute to heart disease as the heart muscle needs to be exercised to remain strong and healthy.
Cardiomyopathy is the most common heart disease among cats. Heart muscles either become weak and dilated so they are unable to maintain proper blood flow or the heart muscles become thickened and restrict blood flow. Another type of cardiomyopathy is caused by scarring of the heart tissue restricting blood flow.
In dogs a common problem is mitral insufficiency in which the mitral valve of the heart (between the two chambers on the left side of the heart) does not close properly allowing blood to leak through and causing a heart murmur. This is more common in smaller breeds. Dogs can also suffer from dilated cardiomyopathy (enlarged, weakened heart), which is more common in larger breeds.
Congestive heart failure is basically the progression of heart disease to the point that the heart is no longer able to pump blood sufficiently to provide the animal's system with enough oxygenated blood. As the body responds and other organs try to compensate, the body begins to retain fluid and symptoms become more severe.
Symptoms of heart disease include:
The cough and shortness of breath seen in cats and dogs suffering from Heart Disease is a result of blood backing up into the lungs because the heart cannot pump it efficiently. Fluid can also build up in the abdomen causing a bloated belly. Any of these symptoms should send you straight to the veterinarian's office. Heart disease is easier to treat the earlier it is detected.
Proper diagnosis involves a full cardiac workup, x-rays and possibly more specialized monitoring such as echocardiography and EKG. It is important to obtain a proper diagnosis as heart disease can be complex and will vary from animal to animal. Treatment needs to be specialized for the individual and will likely be most effective if it include both conventional and alternative treatments combined. If the problem is caught early enough, it may be possible to gradually reduce or eliminate conventional medications over time.
Alternative / Complementary Therapies
Diet is the place to start in helping your companion stabilize or improve once diagnosed with heart disease. Fresh food – either home-made or pre-packaged is best.
Raw food would be first choice. The healthier the food is that the animal eats, the more fuel he has for healing and the less his body must work at filtering out toxins and waste products.
dehydrated, and
freeze-dried formulas can help take the hassle out of raw and homemade food.
Animals with heart disease or congestive heart failure are often put on low-sodium prescription diets. Not every animal with heart disease needs a low-sodium diet, but for some it is important – a consult with a holistic veterinarian can be very helpful in determining the ideal diet for a companion with heart disease. The prescription diets available are not usually high-quality food, and they tend to be rejected by many cats and dogs. If making your companions food does not fit with your lifestyle, then look for high-quality foods with the lowest sodium content. You will often need to contact the manufacturer for this information as it is not always listed on the label. Prescription diets generally have a sodium content of 0.25% or less.
Proper mineral supplementation is important for animals with heart disease. Magnesium can help regulate muscle tone and heartbeat. Supplementing a single mineral, however, can sometimes affect the overall balance and proper absorption of other important minerals.
Raw bones are an excellent source of balanced minerals (not bone meal).
Kelp can also provide needed minerals and trace minerals.
Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is widely used in the treatment of heart conditions for both humans and companion animals. It is directly involved in the energy function of all cells in the body and is supportive of heart function. It is also acts as an antioxidant helping to protect the cells from oxidation. (It also contributes to periodontal health).
Vitamin E is recommended to help strengthen the heart muscles and improve circulation and is an important antioxidant. It can be found in a good antioxidant supplement or in gel caps at most health food stores.
Selenium is an antioxidant mineral and works synergistically with vitamin E to improve heart muscle function. It is generally found in a good
antioxidant supplement
targeted to heart health.
L-carnitine is an amino acid that can improve metabolism in the heart and help strengthen the heart muscle. It is especially indicated in dilated cardiomyopathy.
Taurine is another important amino acid for heart health and is especially important for cats as they must receive adequate taurine in the diet.
Taurine can benefit contraction of the heart muscle. Taurine is also important for cocker spaniels as they are susceptible to dilated cardiomyopathy. Taurine
is a very safe supplement and is very important with home-prepared diets.
It can be given at a dose of 500 mg 1 to 2 times a day. Less is likely
needed for animals on commercially prepared diets.
Hawthorn is an herb high in phytochemicals that enhance blood flow to the heart and extremeties
and also supports the pumping action of the heart muscle. It may take up
to 6 or 8 weeks to reach its greatest effect.
Fish oil supplementation has been shown to be very beneficial for dogs with
congestive heart failure. I recommend all my clients supplement with
essential fatty acids as it provides multiple health benefits including
healthier skin and coat, healthier digestive tract, and reduced inflammation
throughout the body.
Detoxification of the animals system can support the overall health of the cat or dog and help any added vitamins and supplements be more effective.

Jets aim to rebound, keep playoff hopes alive vs. Sabres
The playoff-hopeful Winnipeg Jets will try to bounce back from a loss in an important game when they visit the Buffalo Sabres in Monday's battle at First Niagara Center.
The Jets, who are currently sitting in ninth place in the East, had won five in a row before dropping Saturday's shootout decision to the New York Islanders. The victory moved the Islanders four points ahead of Winnipeg in the conference standings.
Winnipeg enters Monday three points behind the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators for the final two playoff bids in the East. The Jets and the Rangers, who are idle on Monday after Sunday's victory over the New Jersey Devils, each have three games left in the regular season. The Senators have four games remaining and are hosting Pittsburgh on Monday.
The Jets are also still in the mix for the Southeast Division title as they are three back of the first-place Washington Capitals, who also have three games left in the regular season and are idle tonight before hosting Winnipeg on Tuesday.
The Jets trailed the visiting Islanders by a 3-1 score at one point on Saturday, but Winnipeg rallied before ultimately losing a 5-4 decision. John Tavares scored the game-winner in the third round of the shootout to lift the Islanders to their third straight victory.
After the first three shooters came up empty, Brad Boyes got the Islanders on the board with a slick backhand-forehand move, but Andrew Ladd answered at the other end with a quick wrister past the stick-side of Evgeni Nabokov. Tavares then skated in and slipped a wrister through the five-hole of Ondrej Pavelec to end the contest.
Kyle Wellwood potted a pair of goals, while Bryan Little and Zach Bogosian each scored once for Winnipeg. Pavelec recorded 29 saves in the loss.
"We got down 3-1 and I thought we battled back," Winnipeg coach Claude Noel said. "We chased the game and we battled back to tie it. So for me, it's a point that we gained."
Bogosian (upper body) and forward Olli Jokinen both left Saturday's loss with injuries. While Bogosian is day-to-day and unlikely for tonight, Noel said on Sunday that Jokinen is out for the next 6-to-8 weeks with a high ankle sprain.
The Jets, who haven't made the playoffs since 2007 when the club was still based in Atlanta, are playing the first of two straight on the road Monday and are 10-10-2 as the guest this season. After its visit to Washington, Winnipeg will close its regular season in Thursday's home test against Montreal.
The Sabres, who will miss the playoffs for a second straight spring, had won three straight before getting slammed Friday by the visiting New York Rangers. Brad Richards' first career hat trick helped the Rangers record an 8-4 win and the loss officially eliminated Buffalo from postseason contention.
Cody Hodgson, Nathan Gerbe, Drew Stafford and Mark Pysyk all tallied for the Sabres, but goaltender Ryan Miller was lifted 1:13 into the second period after permitting four goals on 14 shots. Jhonas Enroth didn't fare any better, allowing four goals on 15 chances after taking over.
"We were down 3-0 and then we came out in the second and gave them the fourth right off the bat," Sabres head coach Ron Rolston remarked. "At that point we were in tough sledding."
Buffalo is playing its penultimate home game of the season tonight. The Sabres are 10-9-3 as the host in 2013 and will visit Pittsburgh on Tuesday before closing their campaign Friday at home against the Islanders.
Winnipeg has won five straight games against the Sabres overall and two in a row at First Niagara Center.

2008 Cadillac CTS ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new and more upscale than before.
The Cadillac CTS is virtually all-new for 2008. Cadillac has moved the style, performance and in-car electronics way upmarket from the original CTS in an effort to be more competitive with the best of the imports, namely the BMW 530i, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus GS, Infiniti G35, and Audi A4.
The 2008 Cadillac CTS boasts major changes to the engines and chassis that upgrade performance. The CTS offers a choice of two V6 engines and a choice of either a newly designed six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual, making it the only American luxury car still available with a manual. The CTS comes with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The front and rear tires are a full two inches farther apart in track width for 2008, so the general body shape is wider, and a great deal more aggressive looking, with exaggerated front and rear wheel flares.
In addition to the traditional 3.6-liter V6, there's a whole new 3.6-liter, 24-valve V6 engine with direct fuel injection that makes 15 percent more power. The new engine not only makes more power, it gets better fuel economy, even after adjusting for the new, stricter rules that the EPA is now using for fuel economy labeling.
Styling changes include a huge new grille and larger, more in-your-face light elements front and rear. It looks like it's hungry for red meat. Its new levels of grip, handling and steering were modeled after the BMW 530i sedan, and it was developed by the Cadillac engineers on BMW's home ground, the 14-mile, 73-turn Nurburgring circuit in Germany.
The new 2008 Cadillac CTS ($32,245) comes standard with a 263-horsepower V6. A 304-hp V6 ($1,000) is optional. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard; a six-speed automatic ($1,300) is optional. The CTS is rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel-drive ($1,900) is optional.
Every CTS comes with a basic package of 32 luxury, comfort, convenience and safety items including all the normal power assists, XM satellite radio, OnStar with turn-by-turn navigation, and a Bose eight-speaker sound system with CD, MP3 and auxiliary capability.
Options are many. The big one, called the Premium Luxury Collection ($8,015) includes a pop-up navigation and audio screen, a 10-speaker Bose 5.1 sound system with a 40-gigabyte sound storage system, an iPod interface that will operate your iPod from the touch screen and display artist and title info, 10-way heated and cooled leather seats, split folding rear seats, a huge sunroof panel, sapele wood trim, 17-inch alloy wheels, power tilt/telescope wheel, remote starting and keyless entry, and a few odds and ends.
Other options include an 18-inch wheel package ($1,740) with P235/50R18 tires, HID headlights and washers, limited-slip differential, sport suspension, heavy-duty cooling and fog lamps; metallic paint ($995), heavy-duty anti-lock brakes ($395); and a compact spare tire ($250). A performance tire package is available with P235/50ZR18 performance tires and alloy wheels, upgraded ABS, and the FE3 performance suspension ($1,240).
Safety features that come standard on all models include front, side and curtain airbags, ABS, traction control, and Stabiltrak electronic stability control. All-wheel drive improves safety further.
Cadillac has completely redesigned the CTS front end for 2008, with a much larger eggcrate grille that fits with the Cadillac family look of the DTS, STS, and Escalade. The new grille provides more incoming air for the engine cooling, brake cooling and transmission cooling functions. The large lighting units at the front and rear make very good use of light-emitting-diode or LED technology, lots of light and lots of style for little electrical load.
Likewise, the taillights, rear quarter panels and decklid have been redone, and the rear bumper has been rejiggered to feature exposed dual exhaust tips. Altogether, this is a much, much better looking car than the previous CTS, with more adventurous lines everywhere, especially in the gracefully sloping rear roof section, which isn't as harshly angular as on the previous edition.
The crazy-quilt nature of the original CTS interior, with lots of different textures but all in black, has been thrown away, and it's been replaced by a very nice new design for 2008 using black and brushed metal and chrome, very contemporary and very space efficient. This was our biggest complaint with the pre-2008 CTS models.
The entire dashboard has been lowered and moved further away from the front seats to give a more airy and open feel to the car that the original didn't have; it felt like a high-walled bunker. The center stack on the CTS is beautifully done, easy to read and use, with some interesting new readout placements here and there.
On our sojourn through some of central California's tastiest, windiest roads, the front bucket seats held us down and in comfortably, and behind the wheel. We really appreciated the range of adjustment offered by the power seats and the power steering column adjustments; we've always felt that all cars should have tilt-and-telescope columns for ultimate comfort and proper driving position. The instrument package is complete, easy to read, and graphically pretty.
Our car had the AM/FM/XM Bose 5.1 sound systems, the 40-gigabyte hard-drive, iPod connector and USB port for ultimate musical enjoyment. Using the navigation screen, it's easy to switch back and forth between the three broadcast and three stored-music formats by simply touching the screen, and the blue display is large enough to be read from the back seat. We think it's one of the best overall, most fun to use sound systems we've ever used in a car.
Driving Impression
The 2008 Cadillac CTS is a responsive sports sedan with excellent handling and high-speed stability yet it's smooth and quiet when cruising.
The more powerful of the two available engines is a new direct-injection V6 that produces 304 horsepower. It's extremely responsive. The difference in performance feel and sound from this engine compared with the standard 263-hp V6 is amazing. Not that there's anything wrong with the standard engine; the direct-injection engine just has more of everything, as it should, because it costs more.
The 304-hp V6 feels ready to go out and play anytime you want, delivering a really solid combination of power, torque and powerful sound whenever the throttle is opened all the way up.
The six-speed manually controlled automatic that comes with it is very quick and positive to shift, up or down, with a little bit of throttle blip on the downshifts to keep the drivetrain happy and to keep the tires from skidding.
Underneath all that new sheetmetal is a brand new suspension system with a new type of forward-mounted power rack-and-pinion steering system that pulls, rather than pushes, the steering arms, and it is sweet to drive, very accurate, with good feel and a nice, weighty demeanor.
With optional all-wheel-drive waiting to leap in whenever you decide to go a bit too fast through the corners, as we did in central California, the car feels very, very stable and inspires the confidence you need to go faster and faster through those corners.
If a cow or a truck wanders onto the road in front of you, the ABS/EBD brakes respond with very good stopping power, even for a car that tips the scales at 4100 pounds empty.
For all its newfound steering, cornering and handling prowess, the new CTS doesn't seem to exact any penalties in quietness or harshness over the road. It's very solidly put together, and in all other modes besides wide-open-throttle, it's quiet inside, even with 17-inch high-performance tires.
The new 2008 Cadillac CTS looks great and is relatively roomy inside. It's got lots of poke for the performance enthusiast with the bigger engine and available all-wheel drive. For those who don't need or want the extra stuff, there's lots of style with the standard V6 and rear-wheel drive. But we recommend checking the box for the all-wheel-drive system regardless of where you live because it adds so much more to the safety margin and it's more fun to drive, even if the car is heavier for it.
