A look back at county contest, show
Local gardeners have had high hopes and entered the Jefferson County Fruit, Herb and Vegetable Show for 40 years running. This year's winners did not disappoint. Jefferson County Horticultural Committee members and Jefferson County Master Gardeners deserve all the credit for another year of this wonderful event.
Ricky Thompson, County Extension Agent, Agriculture, said gardeners and their questions have been literally coming in for months, but nothing can compare to the hundreds of questions and comments received last month at Central Mall in Port Arthur at the 40th annual show. Sponsored jointly by Central Mall Merchants Association, Jefferson County Horticulture Committee, area nurserymen, Jefferson County Master Gardener's Association and the Jefferson County office of Texas AgriLife Extension Service, the show attracted top-notch gardeners from all over of the Golden Triangle to compete for ribbons, prizes and money.
The five categories attracting the "cream of the crop" in homegrown produce were vegetables, fruits, herbs and processed vegetables and fruits, and the largest tomato. A total of 165 entries were judged for quality and uniformity. Ten judges were selected to hammer through the picture-perfect entries to search for any speck that might be considered a reason for a lower score. The best vegetable, best fruit and best processed product were selected to win a gorgeous triple streamer rosette from the Jefferson County Horticulture Committee. The best herb winner also received a $25 cash prize compliments of the Jefferson County Master Gardener's Association. A $25 gift certificate was given for the largest tomato, and another $25 gift certificate was given for Best of Show.
The winners in each of the four categories are as follows:
- • The best vegetable award was taken by Kenny Johnson of LaBelle for his cucumbers.
- • The best fruit award was won by Maxie Harris Jr. of Nederland his peaches.
- • The best processed food was cooked-up by Donna Hopkins of Kountze. Her entry was pickled beets.
- • The best herb category was taken by Joe Maggio of Nederland for his garlic chives.
- • Best of Show was awarded to Donna Hopkins for her pickled beets.
- • The ever-popular biggest tomato contest was won Jo Williams of Port Arthur.
Door prizes ranging from sprinklers to sprayers to hanging baskets to gift certificates were given by area nurserymen.
Thompson said thanks go out to the sponsors who made the show possible again this year, and thanks to the Jefferson County Horticulture Committee members and the Jefferson County Master Gardeners for working the show and to the 10 judges who laboriously selected winners.

Dean Weeks, Mass. firefighter, accused of booby trapping ex-wife's dryer to explode
(CBS/WBZ) CLINTON - Police say a Massachusetts firefighter who was supposed to fix his ex-wife's dryer as part of a divorce settlement, instead booby trapped it to explode as soon as she turned it on.
According to CBS Boston, Dean Weeks on Thursday pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection to the August blast that left his wife with severe burns on her legs.
The Coulter Press reports that Weeks was arraigned in Worcester Superior Court and released on his own recognizance.
Doreen Weeks says she turned on the dryer after her ex-husband, a veteran Clinton firefighter, texted her and told her to test it, the station reports. She says she heard "tick, tick and then boom."
The explosion that followed reportedly blew her small dog out of the second floor window and left Weeks with burns severe enough that she was taken away in an ambulance.
Weeks says her ex-husband rigged the trap to get rid of her and claim the house for himself, CBS Boston reports. Dean was supposed to fix the broken dryer as part of a divorce settlement reached in August.
Police say Weeks showed up at the scene and tried to threaten his ex-wife into staying silent about the incident, CBS Boston reports. Two men that work with Weeks at his side business also told police he told them to lie if questioned about the explosion, according to police.

I can't see this working very well with heavier items. As soon as those containers get even a bit if weight in them, the plastic tends to bend. The weight would pull tthe down out of the flanges.

we installed these in our garage and it's a big hit!
- Bethany | 9/12/12, 9:27 AM
Yes, I would think that the boxes would eventually break if there was any weight to it. Still it might be good for some of your lighter seasonal items, leaving other shelves open for heavier things.

Joel: I was on the site in Portland before deciding to temporarily move to Phoenix to train for triathlons. A few days after I moved, I switched my profile to the Phoenix area and searched for matches. It was late at night so instead of drafting emails to potential dates, I looked at four people's profiles that looked interesting and decided I would email them the next morning.
Elizabeth: I was one of four people that Joel wanted to contact. I saw that he looked at my profile and I loved his, so I sent him in email. In that first email, I briefly introduced myself and asked him about "Blue Like Jazz," a book that he had recently read, which happens to be one of my favorites.
J: The next morning I see that she emailed me and after my morning swim, I replied. I talked about how "Blue Like Jazz" helped me on my faith journey. Then I saw this ridiculous picture of Elizabeth, laughing, stuck on a jungle gym. That was catch #1.
E: I responded opening up with something to the effect of: "I know I'm breaking a bunch of rules replying so quickly, [it had been about an hour and a half], but I'm really not into playing games."
J: That was catch #2. I thought it was so awesome, even though one of my roommates thought I had a "level 5 clinger" on my hands.
E: We probably sent another four or five emails back and forth that day, and Joel sent me his phone number in the early evening. I waited maybe 20 minutes before calling him.
J: I didn't think she would call so quickly, so while I was on the phone with her, I was frantically trying to look up places to go on a date. I hadn't been in Phoenix in thirteen years and the only place I could think of was Four Peaks.
E: Which, by the way, is a good brewery. I was totally fine with it. So we set our first date for the following Tuesday (the conversation was on a Saturday), which turned into another date on Friday, and another on Sunday, and the rest is history.
We were really open and honest from the start. Joel and Elizabeth had both been in relationships where you date for a while and get comfortable before you ask tough questions about the things that really matter, and then end up breaking up. We didn't want that, so we got all the important stuff "out of the way" in the very beginning. We talked about the importance of our faith before we even met each other. As for all the areas, as it turns out, we clicked pretty quickly. It was funny how comfortable we were with each other, and how weeks dating seemed like years.

16 But when the son of Paul's sister heard of this plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him." 18 So he took him to the commander.
The centurion said, "Paul, the prisoner, sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you."
19 The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside and asked, "What is it you want to tell me?"
20 He said: "Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul before the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about him. 21 Don't give in to them, because more than forty of them are waiting in ambush for him. They have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him. They are ready now, waiting for your consent to their request."
22 The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: "Don't tell anyone that you have reported this to me."
23 Then he called two of his centurions and ordered them, "Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen[a] to go to Caesarea at nine tonight. 24 Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix."
25 He wrote a letter as follows:
26 Claudius Lysias,
To His Excellency, Governor Felix:
27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen. 28 I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin. 29 I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment. 30 When I was informed of a plot to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers to present to you their case against him.
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul with them during the night and brought him as far as Antipatris. 32 The next day they let the cavalry go on with him, while they returned to the barracks. 33 When the cavalry arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and handed Paul over to him. 34 The governor read the letter and asked what province he was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, "I will hear your case when your accusers get here." Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod's palace.

Curtis Axel on if he hated his old name and being in company with The Rock
The Phoenix NewTimes has a good interview with Curtis Axel. Here are just a few highlights:
If he hated the name Michael McGillicutty: "Let me ask you a question. Would you like it if your name was Michael McGillicutty?… When I first heard about it, it was actually through text back when I was down wrestling with FCW through NXT and they said they were changing my name to Michael McGillicutty. And I thought they were just playing a joke on me. But no. I found out it was reality when I started my season at NXT and it kind of broke my heart, but I was excited to get to the main roster. That's all that mattered to me.
"I still would get embarrassed when people say, 'You're a wrestler?' And then they'd ask what my stage name was and I was pretty embarrassed when I had to say 'Michael McGillicutty.' I didn't really like the name, but I'm glad that's gone and I'll never do that again."
If he has been working on his mic skills: "I don't know where that comes from. I just never really have a chance to talk. Now that I'm shown more on TV, I'll have more of an opportunity. People say what they want just from one little rumor, so I don't pay attention to any of that crap, what people say about me. I just do my thing and I know what I can do and I do well, and I don't let that stuff worry me."
The Rock also combining his father's and grandfather's name as Rocky Maivia: "Heck yeah. I mean, he stepped out of his father's and grandfather's shadows, so it's always a plus to be compared to someone like The Rock. Hopefully, I can work on it enough to get to the same level. It's pretty cool that I get that kind of comparisons."

The next major version release of Transposh is here, and to celebrate the occasion we have created a short video (about 11 minutes) . Introducing the new features available in the new version. You are more than welcomed to watch the video and nominate it to the next academy award prize for translation plugin update movies.
The first thing you will notice in the newer version is the major update to the user interface, we have added a couple of highly requested features to the interface such as next/previous buttons, approval of automated translations and finding phrases that are translated. Another interesting feature that we added is the ability for a translator to see the original phrase in a different language if it was already translated to said language manually, so assuming you have a Hebrew blog which you translated to English, a translator may be able to translate your site from English to another language, which might be easier for him. I want to thank Hanan for originally asking for this feature. It is also possible now to remove translations from the history dialog, which is a step in the direction of working on stricter control on translation quality.
The interface is also sleeker, with nicer ui that is also localizable and themable, you can set the theme in the widget settings, and a good place to get a grip on how it will look is themeroller. If you want to help us by translating the interface to your language and getting the credits for it, please let us know by using the contact us option above.

Bacterial vaginosis is an infection of the vulva and vagina. It is associated with an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A mix of good and bad
bacteria are normally found in the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when there is an increase in the amount of bad bacteria. The increased bad bacteria causes a decrease in good bacteria. This imbalance can lead to symptoms.
It is not clear exactly what causes the increase in bad bacteria.
Factors that may increase your chance of bacterial vaginosis include:
Any woman can get bacterial vaginosis, including those who have never had sex.
Some women with bacterial vaginosis do not have any symptoms.
Symptoms that can develop include:
There are several different conditions that can causes these symptoms. Your doctor will help you determine the cause of your symptoms.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Fluid from your vagina may be tested to look for specific bacteria or other infectious agents.
Bacterial vaginosis can lead to complications such as an increased risk of:
Treatment is important even if you do not have any symptoms. The main course of treatment is prescription antibiotic pills or vaginal creams. Finish all medication as prescribed by your doctor even if the symptoms have gone away. This can prevent the infection from recurring.
Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment. If you do have sexual intercourse, use condoms. Usually, male sexual partners do not need to be treated. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.

Now that the show has wrapped up, and we've had time to soak it all in, we've transcribed each information-packed interview. Read on! We guarantee there's tons of facts and figures that are bound to whet your appetite.
E3 2004 - Wednesday, May 12th: Day 1
David Lawrence: Joining us on stage at LiveWire -- drawing, by the way, the largest crowd so far, are [Playboy Bunnies] Lauren Michelle-Hill and Stacey Fuson. There are people on the other side waiting in line.
LMH: Hi.David Lawrence: Hi. How are you? Stacey Fuson -- did I get that right?
Fuson: Yes. Yes you did.David Lawrence: Thank you very much. And Jay Adan who is the marketing director for Cyberlore. The game is called Playboy: The Mansion?
Adan: Playboy: The Mansion. That's correct.David Lawrence: What's the objective of this game?
Adan: Well, actually what we're giving you the opportunity to do is live Hef's lifestyle; to be Hef. So you will be playing Hef. You're going to be living in the mansion, you're going to be running the magazine and taking the reins of his Playboy empire.
David Lawrence: And, would you go all the way back to changing the mores of American society?
Adan: Absolutely. So really what the game is is a sim game. It's a sim game, but it's a little bit different because you actually are in control of Hef from start to finish. You're not doing this from the god-like view of telling each individual person what they can do. If you're going to interact with people, you're gonna do it through Hef or yourself. You are going to be having parties, holding big celebrity bashes and hopefully encouraging some of those celebrities to contribute content to the magazine in the form of interviews, articles, as well as pictorials in the case of celebrity females. Then you're gonna take that magazine and you're gonna sell it. [Then] you're gonna make lots of money so you can put that money back into your mansion and get a bigger, cooler mansion, and that mansion will attract bigger and better celebrities who will again you'll want to make your friends.David Lawrence: And it all starts all over again.
Adan: And it starts all over again.

A Care and Discipline: Pastoral care is a priority. Individual counselling and a positive atmosphere are generated by a happy school. Firm discipline is expected and the printed code of conduct makes school expectations clear.
The Code of Conduct has been revised and adapted to the S.A. Constitution and S.A. Schools' Act.
Pupils are under the school's direct control
(a) while travelling to and from school (including school functions)
(b) while on the school's property
(c) while representing the school
Pupils are the school, whether they are in uniform or not. At all times pupils should ensure that no inconvenience is caused to the public, and that there is no cause for criticism.
The appearance and conduct of each individual in and out of school are of concern to the school and are a reflection of the expectations of the school. Pupils should be co-operative with the Code of Conduct.
The school has pastoral care over its pupils both in and out of school in the form of guidance, counselling and discipline, especially when there is misbehaviour, anti-social behaviour and illegal behaviour. The school feels an obligation to care for its pupils and to ensure that their conduct is a credit to the school, to their parents and to themselves. When a pupil conducts himself in a way of which the community disapproves, e.g. smoking, or drinking in public (except under direct supervision of the parent), hitchhiking, possessing pornography or harmful drugs, driving without a licence, vandalism, dishonesty, bullying etc., the school will deal with the matter, particularly in cases of excess or wilful harm.
B Grade Heads: Each grade has educators in charge who look after the interests of the grade and who counsel individuals. Parents may contact the Grade Heads direct.
C Pupil Leadership: Prefectship is the highest office for pupils: our prefects are highly respected. Each class has a class representative. We elect members of the R.C.L. Each sport team has a captain and each society has a chairperson. In addition there are many ways of offering service: library, flag raising, cricket scorers, media, kit room, calligraphers, backstage, etc.
D Individual Success: Although this school has very fine educators and wonderful opportunities, pupils must realize that success at school is dependent on themselves: on having a positive attitude and asserting themselves. I expect every pupil to : be smart; try his/her best; and be involved.
E Assembly: The school assembles twice a week to hold devotions and to deal with general matters. The Tuesday assembly is shared by the Executive (Senior Management), prefects and a special gender assembly. The Friday assembly is the Headmaster's contact time with the school. These occasions create school unity and are opportunities for pupil leadership.

The 2013 baseball season has returned. The Point Loma Sea Lions have already played six games on the young season, with their only win coming against Cal State Dominguez Hills. PLNU lost a heartbreaker at UC San Diego on Feb. 12 when Danny Susdorf scored on a throwing error in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift No. 21 UC San Diego to a 6-5 win over PLNU.
Women's hoops rolling
The PLNU women's basketball team is in its hottest stretch of the year, winning five straight games and seven of its last eight. It has been the play of the guards that has propelled the team on this streak.
Savannah Erskine, Jessica Escorza, Carlotta Kloppenburg and Callie Rhoads have combined to fuel the team on both offense and defense.
The Sea Lions have held opponents to just 59.6 points per game while getting 12.6 steals over the last eight games. On offense, the Sea Lions have increased their scoring average by nearly 20 points per game (77.3 points per game) as they are connecting on 8.4 treys per game. PLNU is in a race with California Baptist, Azusa Pacific and Hope International over seeding in the upcoming NCCAA West Regional.
Women's golf places fourth in championship
The Point Loma women's golf team made the most of its home tournament by placing fourth at the PLNU Super San Diego Championships on Feb. 12.
The Sea Lions were led by Andrea Mersino, who tied for fourth with a 9-over, 153 on the par-72 Riverwalk Golf Course. The PLNU women's golf team dropped six strokes from its first round score to register a 319 (+31) and finish with a 68-over 644.
Mersino had an outstanding final round. She posted a 2-over, 74 to knock five strokes off her first-round score. She finished just one stroke out of third place. Kathleen Crossley came in second for Point Loma with a 160 (+16). She registered 80s (+8) in both rounds to place 16th in the tournament field. Alyssa Orito and Macy Douglas came through for PLNU with qualifying scores of 81 and 84, respectively. Orito finished the tournament with a 167 (+23) and Douglas with a 169 (+25). Samantha Stockton had the third-lowest score for Point Loma in the tournament with a 166 (+22).
Cal State San Marcos won the team competition. It shaved six strokes from its first-round score to leapfrog Grand Canyon and Sonoma State, and go from third to first. Megan Woodland of the University of Victoria won the individual competition with a 5-over 149. She shot a 70 (-2) in the opening round and a 79 (+7).
Donnelly to leave PLNU to pursue master's
Lindsy Donnelly has resigned her position as the head athletic trainer in the Point Loma Nazarene University Athletic Department to pursue her master's degree of kinesiology-athletic training at the University of Virginia.
Donnelly has been at Point Loma since 2002, first as a student, then part-time staff, before taking on her role as head athletic trainer. Donnelly graduated from PLNU in 2006, and after working in the fall for Point Loma High School returned to PLNU in the spring of 2007 to join the athletic training staff as a part-time assistant. She was named head athletic trainer in 2010. She also works as adjunct faculty with the kinesiology department.
"Point Loma has become like a second family," said Donnelly. "It has always been a very welcoming place for me."
Donnelly will remain at PLNU until
May 24, and begin her time in Virginia in June.
"We are deeply appreciative to Lindsy for her service to all those within the campus community and athletic department," said PLNU athletic director Ethan Hamilton. "She has done an amazing job, and we are very thankful for the foundation she has helped build."
While Donnelly will leave a place she has been for over 10 years, she knows there is an excellent opportunity awaiting her in Virginia. The master's program at UVA focuses on research, which attracted Donnelly to the program. It is also an accelerated program, which will allow Donnelly to earn her degree in just 13 months.
"I want to go to continue to expand my knowledge and become a more dynamic professional," said Donnelly. "This program gives me the opportunity to learn from different individuals outside of PLNU. In order to improve I need to go beyond my comfort zone. Right now, I just want to see where life and God take me."

Lawrence city commissioners say there's no feasible way to avoid demolishing a wall bearing a mural that some want to save.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports the 2007 mural called "Pollinators" is part of a 2007 exhibition sponsored by the Spencer Museum of Art that honors seven black artists with Kansas ties. The mural is on the wall of a building at a site where a development group wants to build a new apartment building.
A museum official told commissioners she would prefer to keep the existing wall and mural in place during the construction. But the developer says that's not feasible.
The commissioners said Tuesday they agreed with the developer's assessment, but urged the development group to talk to experts about how the work could be moved or reproduced.

Super simple supper: Summer-Fresh Bowtie Pasta
Hot summer weekend afternoons are meant for lounging with friends on a pontoon boat floating down the Mississippi River. Preferably with a cooler full of ice and beverages. It's best followed with a dinner made by friends.
Our last lazy cruise was followed by a bowtie pasta dish at a table for four in a cozy screened porch. My boating friend pulled the dinner together in no time. While the pasta pot was bubbling, she mixed a zesty vinaigrette, chopped cherry tomatoes, minced red onion and sliced fresh basil, then tossed everything together in a big pasta bowl. Done. In minutes. No sweat. She made it look so easy.
This time of year, home gardens are ripe with rosy red tomatoes and fragrant basil. Add some minced garlic to those showstoppers of summer and the results are nothing short of miraculous. With these ingredients at hand, even the least experienced cook can make something delicious on a hot summer's day. Every cook will appreciate the no-fuss ease of preparing Summer-Fresh Bowtie Pasta.
Basil, a nutritious leafy green, woos us with its beauty and flavor and is probably the most likeable of all herbs. In the past, I've never had much luck trying to grow basil. This year I planted Greek Columnar basil in a 12-inch pot and set it in the flower garden. It's growing like crazy and keeping me supplied with its complex flavor, blending traditional basil taste with spicy overtones of cinnamon, allspice and cloves.
Tomato's sweet and sour flesh loves the spicy flavor of fresh basil. Use cherry or grape tomatoes or chop up a couple of large ones to add to the pasta bowl. Their leafy, fruity and floral flavor that seems sweet, salty and sour at the same time, is enhanced with garlic and red onion in Summer-Fresh Bowtie Pasta.
I made a few slight changes to the recipe my friend sent to me for the after-boating pasta meal. It takes just one hot burner to cook the pasta for this dish and one big bowl to mix a few fresh ingredients together with the hot pasta. Serve it with some good chewy bread and olive oil for dipping. If you need more to round out the meal, add grilled shrimp or chicken. Leftover Summer-Fresh Bowtie Pasta can become a chilled salad for lunch the next day.
Summer-Fresh Bowtie Pasta is a natural choice for a light and fresh meal during the hot days of summer. I won't be waiting for my next cruise down the river to make this dish. Fresh tomato and basil season is way too short. Eat it while you can.
Summer-Fresh Bowtie Pasta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 ounces uncooked bowtie pasta
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered, depending on size of tomatoes
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
Measure olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper into a jar no smaller than half pint. Shake until the mixture is well blended. Set aside. You can also whisk the mixture together in a small bowl.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add bowtie pasta and cook until al dente, or firm to the bite. It should take about 8 to10 minutes. Taste bowtie pasta to determine doneness.
Drain the pasta but do not rinse. Dump the hot pasta into a large bowl. Pour olive oil mixture over the pasta and toss to coat. Add tomatoes and red onion. With your clean hands, tear the basil and add to pasta bowl. Toss well. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
Tips from the cook
--Tearing fresh basil by hand will help prevent the leaves from turning dark, which is what happens when basil is cut with a knife.
--Use an olive oil with lovely flavor and the freshest tomatoes and basil you can find for this pasta dish. With such few ingredients, quality is of utmost importance for the best flavor.
--Offer a chunk of fresh Parmesan and a hand grater at the table for diners who want cheese over their pasta. Toasted pine nuts are a good pasta sprinkle, too.
--It's nice to serve Summer-Fresh Bowtie Pasta in warmed bowls.

There's a change in auto showrooms around the country. Sales to young buyers between the ages of 18 to 24 are up for the first time since 2007.
There's also an increase this year in sales of those between 25 and 34 years old and increasingly these buyers are picking Korean and European brands over the traditional favorites from Japan or Detroit.
"We've seen the domestics slip, but surprisingly the Japanese have been the big losers," said Anthony Pratt, Director of Forecasting for Polk. "Hyundai and KIA have really done a good job tracking this demographic." (Read More: Hyundai's US Growing Pains.)
Here is the breakdown of sales by age group this year and how much they've changed:

|You are replying to: Pork Ribs how long to go?
Topic Title: Pork Ribs how long to go?
Created on April 26, 2013 at 01:56 AM
Bob Bailey
I have cut my pork ribs into individual pieces, and soak them over night in a marinade, of cut up squeezed lemons add the skins, onions, for their juice, add kikkoman soy sauce, add salt and pepper to taste. And you can add chicken parts to the mix for a great meal. learned this in the military while stationed over seas, poor mans meal that taste better then steak!! You grill it and keep basting it with the marinade it was in, for about 25 30 minutes, can go a little longer for the chicken. But I have not tried this ever on the Holland grill and wondering if 20 minutes would be enough? Ribs only.
What I plan to do is split then up to two different meals. One half with rice, and the other half with sauerkraut. I simmer my kraut with salt pork added caraway seed apples sliced for two three hours. The kraut is rinsed and soak in cold water before hand to remove the sower taste.
Anyways I bought a new Weber gril for steaks and meals like this one. only the ribbs came out chewy last time and I think the Holland may keep the juices in and more tender. So want to try it out, but again not sure how long to go? thanks for any hints!! And remember I will keep opening the grill to bast, but maybe this would not be necessay on the Holland?
Bob Bailey
I should add that if you make the sauerkraut, you do not add the ribs until the simmering is over, then add the ribs to the kraut, and that will add even more wonderful taste. Simmer a little longer until the ribs are heated up. The ribs should be waiting in the fridge until ready for them!
Bob Bailey
When simmering the kraut, add enough water to cover kraut, and maintain that level during simmering and keep covered during simmering.
Tom Kirkman
Takes me about 2 hours total.

What drawingtool were you using?
Chibipaint: if you put it in floating mode, it sometimes automatically locks off.
I have it and so do several other people here.
The best solution against losing a drawing is
save as often as you can.
that's what I do.
It has just happened again..drawing disappeared into fresh air... some thing very suspicious going on here.. I wonder if there is some "hacking" happening!???? ... I wont be drawing on "Drawing Day " if this happens it's a waste of ####### time .. I AM FED UP

The Ohio State University club crew team has until Tuesday to appeal a suspension for hazing and other student-code violations.
The Ohio State University club crew team has until Tuesday to appeal a suspension for hazing and other student-code violations.
The coed team of about 60 members has been under interim suspension since the week of March 18, Dave Isaacs, a spokesman for OSU�s Office of Student Life, said today.
Isaacs declined to specify what the hazing involved or who notified the university. The questionable activities took place during the week of March 11, which was OSU�s spring break, he said.
According to the club�s website, the team attended spring training at Lake Lure, N.C.
The team is suspended until December 2014, Isaacs said. As of this afternoon, an appeal had not been filed with OSU�s vice president of student life.
Hazing is defined in the student code of conduct as �doing, requiring, or encouraging any act, whether or not the act is voluntarily agreed upon, in conjunction with initiation or continued membership or participation in any group, that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm or humiliation.�
If the suspension holds, the crew team would be the third organization suspended for hazing this year. Delta Sigma Theta sorority has been suspended through August 2016 and Zeta Phi Beta until January 2015.
Katie Salvator, a club alumna listed as coach and director of rowing on the team�s website, did not return a phone message seeking comment today.
On Wednesday, Salvator posted on her blog a plea for Ohio State crew alumni to reach out to university officials and others in support of the team. She wrote that she feels strongly about taking the right steps with the university to ensure compliance for the team but made no mention of what the allegations are or what the team plans to do.
�The student athletes that comprise the current membership of our beloved team are hurting and we are focused on the bureaucracy of the university and how to get through it,� she wrote. �I�m disappointed.�
Chris Swartz, who founded the team in 1978, said he was unsure whether the club would appeal the suspension. He said that based on the information he had about the hazing, �the penalty is appropriate.� Swartz said he was told about hazing or bullying of novice rowers on the spring-break trip.
�This is a sport that gives an opportunity to a lot of kids that would not participate otherwise,� he said. �These kids have put a real damper on this for at least the next couple of years.�

Over the years, the Rev. Thomas Carr has heard a laundry list of reasons why Connecticut's clergy often shy away from the issue of climate change.
"They are too busy. The issue is too controversial. They can't bring it up because it's become so politicized."
The answer to all those excuses is terribly, deeply simple, according to Carr.
"This is not our planet... It's God's," says Carr, who is now the pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Suffield. "Climate change is the greatest moral challenge, the biggest challenge the human race has ever faced."
That message is the central focus of a first-of-its-kind conference in Hartford Thursday that will bring faith leaders from across Connecticut and the region to talk about the threat of climate change. Carr says the evidence of climate change and its potentially devastating consequences is so overwhelming that it's no longer a matter of scientific debate, and the question now is what to do about it.
The "Climate Stewardship Summit" will run from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 7) at Hartford's Asylum Hill Congregational Church.
Jewish, Muslim and Christian clergy, scientists from universities, national climate experts and environmentalists will all take part in a series of lectures, roundtable discussions and workshops designed to help faith leaders engage their religious communities.
"There are some real significant folks coming to this," says Carr, a cofounder of the Interreligious Eco-Justice Network, which is sponsoring the conference.
While the conference was originally intended as a way to get more Connecticut clergy to recognize their responsibilities when it comes to climate change and the environment, Carr says the response to the summit has given it a far broader scope.
"It's going to be for everybody," he says.
Topics at the conference include new scientific data on the impact of climate change; divestment in fossil fuels and the switch to renewable energy; and using religious communities to set examples for the general public on how to take action on climate change.
The keynote speaker at the summit will be Mary Evelyn Tucker, a senior lecturer and research scholar at Yale University. She is codirector of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology.
Tucker says the connection between religious responsibility and the environmental issues surrounding climate change has become far stronger in the past decade.
"I do think it's a movement that's gaining momentum," Tucker says. "Religious leaders and lay people are getting the picture… that people are suffering. They are seeing this as a moral issue, which wasn't true 10 years ago.
Carr and his cofounder, Lynn Fulkerson, organized their inter-faith environmental network in 2001 in an effort to get religious leaders to engage their church members in the climate-change issue.
According to Carr, it became clear in the late 1990s that there were a few people in every religious community who were growing more and more concerned about the implications of climate change. What was needed, he says, was a way to connect those people to each other.
Since its founding, the network has connected with about 400 different congregations and religious groups, Carr says. More than 100 churches, synagogues and mosques associated with the network have set up "green teams" to push for climate change action within their religious communities.
Taking action can be as simple as preaching to a congregation, or putting up solar panels on a church roof, "or go get arrested" to draw attention to the crisis, says Carr.
Carr believes more and more members of Connecticut's clergy are realizing that climate change is an issue they cannot ignore.
"Most religions are called to speak out against injustice," he says.
And climate change wouldn't be the first hot-button issue where religious communities took the lead. "We've confronted some really controversial things in the past, like civil rights," Carr says.
When Carr encounters someone in the clergy who argues climate change isn't a religious issue, he tells them, "Look into your own tradition, look into your own faith."
Says Carr, "They know it's true."

What you eat becomes more critical with age
With age people are often less active and prone to gain weight while losing muscle mass. Their immune systems weaken, leaving them more susceptible to disease and illness.
"Having a balance of nutrients is vital," says River Falls Medical Clinic dietician Debra Sanders. "Sometimes you find that seniors fix meals with just one food group -- like macaroni and cheese, a common one.
"The reason could be that they don't feel like cooking anymore, especially for one person, or that they don't get out as much to buy groceries, or even that they don't buy enough fruits like apples, oranges and bananas, or vegetables, because they worry about wasting them or having them spoil."
Sanders says to buy small amounts, smaller bags of fruits and vegetables, because they have essential ingredients of the recommended "five food-group meal plan" that includes whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean protein.
For those who skimp for whatever reason on the five-food groupings, Sanders said taking a multivitamin can help make up the difference.
Another way to keep up with the daily recommendations for fruits and vegetables, she says, especially in winter, is to buy frozen.
"That's just as nutritious as fresh," Sanders said. "And in winter, the produce comes from around the world, so by the time you get it in the supermarket, it's not so fresh."
On the other hand, Sanders said the elderly, probably from old habits, are still more apt to buy canned food.
She says to limit those purchases because canned food isn't fresh and is "higher in sodium."
Sanders said elderly people also complain more of chronic constipation.
One way to alleviate that condition is by eating more whole-grain foods -- whole wheat bread instead of white, brown rice instead of white.
"The whole grains are higher in fiber to make you go," Sanders said. "The same is true for fruits and vegetables because of their high-fiber content."
Foods with fiber also play a role in reducing the risk of colon cancer and in reducing cholesterol. The latter, if not checked, can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Another way to ease constipation and improve health is hydration.
"Drinking adequate water is important, and yet the sense of thirst, like the sense of taste, diminishes with age," Sanders said. "Therefore, you have to remain mindful to stay hydrated." Sanders said if you are adequately hydrated, your urine should be odorless and almost clear.
"If it's dark and strong (smelling), you're probably dehydrated," she said.
Besides water, Sanders urged seniors to drink low-fat milk. Juices aren't as good because they're high in calories. Coffee and tea provide some fluids, but if overdone can also dehydrate.
With diminished sense of taste, and also smell, many seniors lose appetite. They may dose servings with salt to bring out taste. Too much salt is bad, so Sanders said to try an herbal blend of seasoning instead.
"Since you can't rely on hunger urges as much, your brain needs to take over the feeding routine," Sanders says. "You have to make a conscious effort to eat a well-balanced daily diet to maintain your health and also keep up your energy level."
For those who still savor their food, Sanders cautioned: "Smaller portions are better. You don't have to eat a big steak like before. Cut a chicken breast in half and use it over two meals."
For those who don't get around as well, who don't drive, Sanders said more and more supermarkets deliver groceries.
Getting an annual physical with your doctor is also important.
"The lab work's blood test will show if a (senior) has deficiencies in, say, calcium or Vitamin D," Sanders said, adding that such deficiencies are common with older people.
For seniors who like to dine out often, Sanders urges them to make health-conscious menu picks.
"If you can, substitute an extra side order of salad or a vegetable for the French fries," she said. "Try grilled chicken instead of fried, take a small baked potato but don't load it up with salt and butter, take Egg Beaters instead of regular eggs."
Calorie intake should drop for seniors who are usually retired and less active.
"So you don't need to eat as much, but the eating choices you make become more important," Sanders said. "Keep in mind the importance of nutritional balance in your diet."
Sanders said some seniors might consider nutritional beverages like Boost and Ensure. Originally offered in hospitals, these drinks are now found in grocery stores. They're laden with vital minerals, vitamins and proteins.
Said Sanders: "For those not eating right, who have a poor appetite or are losing weight, these drinks can be a helpful source of nutrients."

Ask almost anyone, and you'll get the same answer. The distribution power lines with which we share our world carry a lethal dose of energy. Ironically, from the perspective of most who toil and live their lives below the extensive electrical distribution network, there is little fear and almost no perceived risk. Despite the known danger that power lines pose to humans, we also know that the "air isolation" between us and the power lines keeps us safe from harm.
For the few whose work brings them directly or indirectly closer to the wires overhead, the risks are real — and the danger is always imminent. The crew of a moving company, charged with the task of transporting a metal shed under power lines one winter day, learned this lesson firsthand. Unfortunately, it came a little too late — after the move went terribly wrong, leaving one individual dead and another injured.
Site conditions
Considerable planning had gone into moving the large metal industrial shed, which measured 40 feet by 100 feet. At the time of the move, several parties played a part in coordinating the operation, including an electric company lineman, cable company employee, employees of the road commission, and a police escort. The building was elevated on two steering dollies at the rear and a tow dolly at the front. Everyone involved was aware of the presence of the overhead 14.4kV power line that obstructed the move.
The power line was located where the shed was to be turned from the original site onto the road. Prior to moving the structure across the path of the power line, the lineman dropped the neutral to the ground. The cable company dropped its line and built a protective guard over the cable. An energized phase was left in its elevated position with the intent that the building would traverse underneath it.
The lineman was positioned in an elevated bucket so as to observe the passage of the building under the power line. While passing under the wire, the team believed the building would also need to execute a turn. The rear (steerable) wheels of the building could only be controlled by manual ratchets located under the building. Due to some winter weather a few days prior to the move, snow was on the roof of the shed. Therefore, no final inspection of the roof was conducted.
The accident
The move began as planned, with the building brought into position near the power line. The lineman was in place. Spotters were observing the move. The building began to pass under the power line. At some point soon thereafter, however, two individuals associated with the moving company assumed positions under the building so as to steer the rear wheels. (There was conflicting testimony about whether or not those individuals had been ordered away from the building by the power company employee.)
When approximately 75 feet of the building had passed under the power line, there was a flash of light. At this time, the order was given for the building to stop moving. A previously unnoticed 3-foot-tall antenna on the roof of the building had made contact with the energized phase. Electricity had been conducted down through the building to the steering wheels and into the two men controlling the steering ratchets.
One man was pronounced dead at the scene; the other survived the electrical contact and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Even with the risk that the building might still be energized, witnesses went under the structure to offer assistance to the injured pair. Interestingly enough, no one could describe the state of the man who died for the first 15 to 20 seconds following the contact.
The investigation
As is often the case in these types of contacts, an official investigation was conducted. It was concluded that the rule that requires 10 foot air isolation between power lines and humans (or conductive pathways to humans) had been violated.
Had such spacing been maintained, even the unobserved 3-foot antenna would not have contacted the power line, and no injury would have occurred. The lineman testified that he had warned the owner of the moving company, prior to the move, to keep all individuals out from under the building while passing under the wire — and that he had yelled to individuals under the building to get out during the move and observed them heeding his warnings. (This conflicted with testimony from the owner of the moving company.)
The lawsuit
The family of the decedent sued the power company and moving company. I was hired as an expert consultant for the plaintiff (decedent's family) for the purpose of discussing the effects of electricity on the decedent and to answer the question of whether or not he had felt pain in the 15 to 20 seconds that could not be accounted for by way of witness testimony.
The findings
The shock was analyzed based on the physical evidence and witness statements. The decedent was found unconscious with burns to his right hand. He was wearing gloves and steel toed boots.
Assuming that the voltage to ground from the power line was 7,200V, the metal building provided a good conductive pathway to the decedent, and the current rapidly breached the decedents gloves, shoes, and skin, a body resistance of 500 to 1,000 ohms was used to calculate (by way of Ohm's law) a current through the decedent of between 7A and 14A. Witness statements and physical evidence suggested that the contact duration would have been less than 1 second. The building was being turned and was moving a few feet per second (1 mph = 1.4 feet/second). An arc would have been drawn to the antenna when it was a fraction of an inch from the wire (because the dielectric breakdown of air is 30,000V per centimeter). Furthermore, the arc would have extinguished shortly after the antenna burnt through or when the antenna was spaced enough distance from the wire by the motion of the building such that an arc could not be sustained.
This line of thinking is consistent with witness statements regarding the sudden flash of light, suggesting a brief electrical contact. The burn pattern was also consistent with this theory. The obvious current pathway was from the entry point right hand to the decedent's feet to ground, which would be considered a non-head-involved contact.
Accepted data regarding the effects of electricity on the human body would predict that the current was of a significant enough level to cause sustained contraction of the heart muscle (currents over 1 ampere). Upon cessation of the current, the heart would most probably have fibrillated, resulting in loss of consciousness within 15 to 20 seconds.
Regarding the issue of pain during the contact, the accepted view is that the decedent would have been oxygenated and cognizant of his world prior to the shock — and that since the shock did not impact his brain, this level of cognizance would have remained for some period of seconds following the shock. Although oxygen delivery to the brain would have ceased when the heart was impacted by the current, it is probable that the decedent was sufficiently oxygenated for a duration long enough to be cognizant of the pain from the shock impacting his nerves, the pain from the electrically induced burns, and possibly pain from electrically induced muscle contraction. Some literature even suggests that some individuals in similar situations have a cognizance of their impending death. Although pain is subjective, there is no question that the pain from this scenario would have been extreme.
The lesson
The case ultimately settled for an undisclosed amount. Like most of the electrical injury cases that I have reviewed over the years, this was an avoidable death for several reasons. Had a final inspection been made of the roof of the shed, the antenna should have been discovered, and no injury would have occurred. The presence of snow made the risk of such an inspection seem to exceed the perceived benefit. Had a minimal air gap of 10 feet been maintained, or had the power line been briefly de-energized or temporarily shielded, no injury would have occurred. Furthermore, had the lineman perhaps been more vigilant in his observations — and had the operation not been allowed to proceed when individuals were under or in proximity to the building — there would have been no injury.
Although the issue of warnings was in dispute, had proper warnings been given and followed, no injury would have occurred. In my experience, I've found that the most important reason to have clearly developed rules and protocols in these situations is because, when executed properly, they can prevent the unforeseeable from being so obvious in hindsight, as was the case in this tragic accident.

Good afternoon, First of all, I've spent a lot of time reading over the posts in this form and I want to thank you for all the information you've provided. I hope that my question hasn't already been answered somewhere. So I am planning to arrive to Chile in early March to look for work. I will be coming from Quito, Ecuador on a one way flight as I don't know how long I"ll be in Chile. I read in a book ("The South American Handbook 2011") that I need proof of an onward flight when entering Chile. This doesn't make any sense to me. What if my plan is to leave the country on bus or in a car? Is it actually MANDATORY to show this to someone in the airport or what? Also, I don't want to buy a flight for 3 months later and then end up staying because I've found a job to get me a temporary or subject to contract visa. So do I really need evidence of onward travel or can I just tell them that I'll be heading out on a bus in 3 months (which is probably not true). Thank you! Back to top DiaJoined: 09 Apr 2008Posts: 92 Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 2:48 am Post subject: you'd be taking a chance. often times nobody even asks you about it. but if they do, and you don't have a way to prove you will exit the country, you risk getting denied entry. the international police at the airport have rarely asked people i've talked to. but many of us have been asked by the airlines, who are legally responsible for bringing you back to where you came from if you are denied entry. i am assuming the dont want this cost shoved on them, as they asked me to prove i was leaving chile within 3 months before i even boarded the plane. the airline made it clear this was a requirement. perhaps there is a bus company that will let you buy a bus ticket (mendoza?) online, they arent very expensive, and maybe you could even get them to switch the date or something once you are in chile so that it doesnt go to waste. many friends of mine had a physical ticket bought by friends in chile and mailed to them before they flew down here. i found a bargain flight to buenos aires that i just let go to waste because i was already waiting for my temporary residence with a job when the time came around.

Turning the farm bill into a food bill
Turning the farm bill into a food bill
June 2012
EWG worked with subsidy reform champions to support five floor amendments to the Senate farm bill. Two prevailed: an amendment by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) to make conservation compliance a condition of crop insurance and an amendment by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to reduce insurance subsidies for large farms. EWG led a broad coalition to oppose the House farm bill.

The need for better sleep and a growing appetite for liquid energy shots and health-related smartphone apps are among the top consumer health trends expected to make headlines in 2012, according to a leading national research group studying health-related attitudes and behavior in America.
The Values Institute at DGWB, a social science research entity based in Santa Ana, Calif., used observational studies to identify five health and wellness trends that Americans are most likely to embrace in 2012. The list is an extension of the Institute's extensive work in values-based marketing and social entrepreneurialism, as well as a long-term partnership with the international research firm Iconoculture of Minneapolis.
The top five consumer health trends for 2012 are:
1. America's Infatuation with Boosting Energy... Naturally. The recent surge in the popularity of liquid energy shots like Red Bull, Monster and 5-Hour Energy should continue. Far beyond a Millennial-only trend, these products are increasingly popular with seniors, as evidenced by 5-Hour's partnership with John Ratzenberger. There is a potential for a backlash as health-seeking consumers look for the same boost from 100% natural sources with ingredients they can pronounce. These could include green tea extract, vitamins, whole grains, raw foods like bananas and dates and specifically designed products like Jamba Juice and V8 Energy Shots.
2. Sleepless in America... Especially Among Women. Sleep may be to this decade what fitness and diet were to the 1980s and 1990s. Faced with new evidence linking inadequate sleep with weight gain, high blood pressure, depression and lowered immunity, more consumers will connect health and shut-eye in 2012. Seventy-six percent of Americans want to improve the quantity and quality of the sleep they get, while the National Sleep Foundation says that two-thirds of all women have regular sleep problems. Globally, sleep deprivation affects the quality of life of 45% of the world's population, according to the World Association of Sleep Medicine.
3. The Rise of the "Flexitarians." While the U.S. vegetarian/vegan population will remain small, more consumers in 2012 will become "Flexitarians," those that consciously reduce their meat intake for health reasons but still occasionally enjoy

Sorting Saturday: Cleaning Out The InBox
Recently I decided to go through the genealogy folders in the oldest account and clean it out. I'm finally processing all the emails that I've just dumped (er, saved) into the file. I In my defense, that was a challenging time in my life. I had two very small children, I was transitioning between several states, and I was focuses on catching up on my scrapbooks. I was developing my Power Scrapbooking method. Since that time, I have opened other email accounts and saved genealogy information into folders on those accounts. I had forgotten just how many emails I've received about genealogy and for how many years.
Back to the cleaning, I found several things from 2005 that caught my attention.First, that my mother's aunt's family was buried in Norwich, Huron, Ohio. Now, I could easily have found that information on Find A Grave.com. However, having a email pointing me in the direction of where to look, made the search easy. I knew exactly in which cemetery to look. There is a photo of the cemetery linked to the family but no individual stones. I don't know if there are not stones and the photo is of the plot in general. So I sent a Photo Request and I'm am awaiting the results.
|Copy of William Lester Long (1849 - 1925)'s Death Certificate
Second, and the most rib poking, is that I've had my 2nd great grandfather's death certificate just hanging out in my in box. For 7 years! Just waiting, humming 'do da-do da-do, I'm here!!'. What's crazy, is that this death certificate has been on line for the past 2 years and I haven't sought it out. In my defense, I haven't been working on the Long Family as much in the past two years. But seriously? What else is just hanging out waiting for me in the in box?
You know what else? The person who sent this to me also said he had photos of my Long relatives. Photos! I passed up photos? Erg.... I've sent an email to Jerry Long's 2005 email address. Is he still alive? Does the email still work? Will I be able to beg forgiveness for neglecting his offering of Long Family Photo? Ey - yi -yi!
Lesson learned... periodically clean out your emails!

Disruption Is the New Normal
After Google Maps added navigation, the value of stand-alone GPS makers fell by as much as 85%.
On a trip over the holidays, my wife rolled her eyes when I realized we'd left the Garmin at home and said we'd have to get a GPS for the rental car. She pointed to the Google Maps app on her mobile phone and said: "I bet this works even better." It did. We benefited from the kind of technological disruption that is great for consumers, but brutal for businesses trying to survive rapid change and perhaps impossible for government regulators trying to keep up.
A generation ago, the Rand McNally atlas was the state...
